CHAPTER TWO: TRAINING, MASTER, SPIRIT, AND SWORD
Naruto had just woken up after going into the portal he noticed he was resting in a small room in the middle of a very large room. The entire room was covered in a white mist that seems to emit a strange aura around him. The mist covers the entire room except for two things, first is his bed and second is a table beside the bed. Looking at the table he found a letter with his name written on it. He then proceeds to re the letter.
Dear Child
If you're reading this then it means you're already awake. Follow the dragonfly beside this letter. The dragonfly will lead you to where you will meet your trainer. Hurry boy I don't like waiting too long.
After finishing the letter he searched for the dragonfly but saw nothing. Suddenly a dragon fly came in front of him.
"What the hell." Screamed Naruto as he jumped several feet backward.
"Boy don't be scared just follow me and your hell will begin." Said the dragonfly as he leads Naruto out of the room. Naruto dumbly follow the dragonfly not knowing what to do.
As he followed the dragonfly he noticed that the room he was in was like a prison cell which disturbed him very much. Heading out of the room Naruto saw a small corridor and he could also see an opening the end of the corridor that they reached very quickly. After exiting the corridor he saw a man sitting in a rock.
"Boy go to him" was the last word of the dragonfly as he disappeared.
Naruto then approached the man sitting in the rock with caution. He could feel a strange aura in that man that was similar to the kyuubi. The man was wearing a trench coat so he could not see the face or the body of that man.
"Boy you really have knack for being startled". Said the man with a voice that seems to remind him of Gaara but it has more warmth in it.
"Well the lasting I know is..." But he was quickly interrupted by the man.
"Yes kid I know why your here. I could say your life is such a pity. But alas you are an idiot as well." Chuckled the man
"Hey what's that supposed to mean." Scream Naruto.
"Boy the scroll you open helps me scan your memories, heart, mind, personality, attitude and skills and my only comment to you is that you are a complete idiot." Said the man
Naruto was angry at what the man said and attacked him. This resulted in his head being slammed to the ground hard.
"Boy my first lesson avoid fighting people who are stronger than you and you'll live longer I guarantee It." said the man while he held his neck.
Naruto was surprised by the man's speed. The man seemed to move faster than Kakashi or Gai and even Jiraiya. "What did he mean first lesson." Naruto asked himself.
"What do you mean first lesson?" asked Naruto.
The man sighed. "Man you really are stupid and clueless." this only further anger Naruto.
"Boy if you remember the letter Satoshi-sama said he said that he left a spirit with all his knowledge, all his experience, and all of his skill. I am that spirit and I will be the one teaching you, his heir, all you need to know. Especially once you are out in this scroll dimension you have a lot of enemies that are going to try to kill you, Nine S-class shinobi and an entire village, your life is full of shit. Now listen to me so we could start your training boy. Lecture the man.
That calms Naruto down. He remembers what the content of the letter is especially the spirit part.
"So you're the spirit huh." Naruto asked dumbly,
Yes boy I am and because you seem curious before we start you can asked me anything." said the man.
"Okay could you first let go of my neck." Said Naruto
"Oh sorry for that," as he lets go of his neck.
"First thing first where are we?" asked Naruto.
"We are in a scroll dimension. It is an advance sealing jutsu that could create a landscape in a scroll. This place also could block the influence of the kyuubi." answer Kuroikongou
"Who are you?"
"My name is Kuroikongou (Black Diamond)"
'Weird name' "So what kind of spirit are you?"
"You will find that out later."
That seemed to irritate Naruto even further but he tried to hide it to the best of his abilities because he doesn't want to be choked again.
"Why did that scroll choose me?"
That question brought silence between the two for several minutes. Naruto didn't want to say anything because he felt that one wrong word would result in a very painful experience.
"I knew sooner or later you'll ask that question but not this early. You want to know the answer kid? Which Naruto nodded.
"Look below you boy" said Kuroikongou which Naruto obliged.
What Naruto saw completely surprised him. The ground beneath him suddenly changed to a portrait of a man. The man had long black hair, silver eyes that seem to be cold, and his face seems to be serious. He was wearing a black trench coat that covers his whole body and wielding a large and black zanbatō. The zanbatō seems to be mad out of several large diamonds.
"Boy the man is Satoshi-sama my master and my creator." Said Kuroikongou
Naruto was analyzing the portrait that he was looking at.
"What kind of shinobi was he?" Asked Naruto
"I will show you his life and then that question of yours, you will answer yourself." said Kuroikongou. Then he raises his hand then multiple images flash through Naruto's eyes
Naruto could not believe what he was witnessing right now. He was witnessing a life of a powerful shinobi right before his eyes.
The man's skill was unbelievable. His control over his element was inhuman. He could control the wind like it was part of his body. Also the control over his sub-element was also amazing. But the thing that amazes him more was how he uses his sword and his weapons. He was using two swords and one spear at the same time. The first sword was the sword that he was holding in the portrait. It was as large as him but he could still control it masterfully. The second sword was a double-bladed sword. That sword was as tall as his first sword but he could use it so well. His third weapon was a spear. The spear seems to resemble a trident. He was controlling the spear by spinning it in his body. Watching him perform that sword dance was amazing to watch. It was beautifully executed but also deadly.
But the thing that made him sad and angry was the way they treated him when he was old. His very own village attempted to kill when he was getting old. That was the reason why there were multiple bones of people in the village. When he was betrayed he protected himself against all the shinobi's of his village. He managed to kill them all but with a prize. He was severely wounded multiple times.
So the last thing he did was to make sure that he was remembered. He put a seal in the entire village that would kill anyone without his requirement he needs to pass his skills. He also seals all his knowledge, his scroll, and his double-bladed sword. The other sword on the other hand was sealed in the scroll by a strange ritual. After the sealing he quickly embraces the scroll while writing the letter. Then it went black.
"So boy after watching his life what kind of shinobi do you think he his." Asked Kuroikongou
"He was an honourable man. An amazing shinobi and an even more amazing person." Answer Naruto.
"You are correct boy. He was a fantastic warrior, a good friend, and a good master. He treated everyone with respect even if they don't give a shit about him." said Kuroikongou.
"Now boy to answer your second question, remember the sword that he was wielding in the portrait." Naruto nodded. "That was me boy" said Kuroikongou.
"How can that be you?" said the surprised Naruto.
"Boy do you know what a sentient sword." asked Kuroikongou. Naruto shook his head no. "A sentient sword is a type of sword that has a spirit, a soul and, a mind. A sentient sword chooses who its master is. Normally a sentient sword is created by a powerful being mostly a sage, a spirit, or a tail beast. But my master is very special. He was the one who had created me." Explained Kuroikongou.
"How did he create you?" asked an astonished Naruto.
"He had a God like affinity toward the wind. It was so strong that it created a wind spirit. That spirit was me." Answer Kuroikongou.
"Wait, you mean..."
"Yes boy you have the same God like affinity towards the wind as my former master, To the extent that you created a wind spirit in your subconscious.
"Now boy before we start I'm going to tell you what we are going to work on , we are going to work on ninjutsu, kenjutsu, and fūinjutsu and before you ask I'm going to explain why you're learning those specific skills. First is ninjutsu, it is the best way for you to control your element and by the looks of things in your memory and by the things I see in you, you have untapped potential in ninjutsu, Second is kenjutsu, it is the second best way for you to control your element and can enhance your ninjutsu by tenfold if you know how to use a sword properly , and lastly fūinjutsu, it is the best way to contain your pet inside you, it can also be the best way to contain some material that you will need in your journey, and the most important thing in why you are going to learn about seals is because if you become proficient with seals you could help you in your battles and training. Now boy shall we start your training or what? Asked Kuroikongou
"Yes let's start." said Naruto with much excitement in his voice. He could not wait to learn those ninja arts.
After hearing Naruto's answer he snaps his fingers. The effect is instantaneous. The entire field was change. The corridor change in to a valley, with several land formations surrounding the entire valley.
"Boy first we are going to work in your psych and your chakra control. Your psych because your body can't survive some A-class and S-class jutsu and chakra control because you just really suck in controlling your chakra that you could not perform any higher jutsu or any jutsu that requires better chakra control and more importantly you just suck at controlling your very enormous chakra. Then we are going to follow it up by taijutsu and genjutsu. After those we are going to work on those three ninja art that I mention any questions. Said Kuroikogou to Naruto.
"Yes! I have one. I can understand the psych and chakra control stuff." scowling at the mention of his horrible chakra control "but why do I have to learn taijutsu and genjutsu. I thought only ninjutsu, kenjutsu, and fūinjutsu are the things that you are going to teach me." Ask Naruto
That question earned Naruto a light punch to the gut. "Boy if I only teach you those three you will have an enormous weakness in those two, weaknesses in the ninja world means death, Any more stupid question?
Naruto even though still rather upset by the punch he received, just shut his mouth.
"Good! Now before we start first create 20 shadow clones" which Naruto dumbly created the shadow clones. "Now that you created the shadow clone may the original step forward." The original Naruto then suddenly step forward. "Boy listen to me now. I will tell you now you're first warm up exercise." Naruto now was listening to him very carefully. "First you must run 100 laps around the valley, follow by 150 push-ups, then 200 sit-ups, and lastly 100 squat-trust. After you finish seek me out for another work out." Instruct Kuroikogou.
After hearing what Kuroikogou said Naruto's face had turned ghostly pale. What he was about to do seemed like torture. But his reaction didn't go unnoticed by his trainer.
"I know boy that what your about to do seems like torture but we need to make you stronger as fast as possible because by the things I saw in your memory we only have at least three to four years to make you powerful to take on a kage level shinobi. You have the potential to surpass my master and the leaders you called Hokage but you need to experience hell first to gain the power and strength you need. Power and strength comes from hard work, training, and determination. There are no short cuts for gaining power and strength. Do you understand me boy." Lecture Kuroikogou
What Kuroikogou said actually calm him made him fell relief but he still have one question in mind.
"Okay now I understand this 'warm up-exercise that you want me to do but why did you ask me to create 20 shadow clones?" Ask Naruto.
"The answer is very simple. We are going to start your lesson in fūinjutsu. My master took three years in becoming a seal master so I'm going to need 20 of you to even start with the basic." Answer Kuroikogou.
"Wait a minute! Do you need me for that?" ask Naruto.
"Boy all I need is 20 shadow clones. You, the original, just need to do all the physical stuff of the training and your clones will handle all the things that involve a book." said Kuroikogou.
"How the hell could I learn about sealing if my clones learn it and not me?" Ask a confuse Naruto.
Kuroikogou stared at the boy with disbelief. How could this boy not know the secret of his most favourite jutsu? He had practically used it more than 500 times, more than his master had used it in his lifetime. But yet these boys haven't discovered the secret of that jutsus.
Then and there he knew that it was going to be a long, long, long 3 years.
"Boy don't tell me you hadn't discovered the secret of the shadow clone jutsu."
"No I haven't! What do you mean secret of the shadow clone." Naruto ask dumbly.
"To make a long story short if you dispel a shadow clone all its knowledge and its experience will return to the original. I can't believe you hadn't notice that. You have been using this jutsu a lot and I mean a lot." said Kuroikongou.
"I used it all the time and didn't notice it." Said Naruto looking embarrassed.
"Just start running before I beat the shit out of you." Which Naruto obediently obey.
That was the start of his training. Every morning ,he was forced to wake up at three at the morning, he started with 200 laps around the valley, then 150 pus-ups, follow by 200 sit-ups, follow by 200 sit ups, and lastly 100 squat trust. After those so called warm-ups Kuroikogou turned the valley into a huge gym complete with weights. He is instructed to have at least 5 minute workout in each work out gizmos and weight which is a total 10 hour work out.
After the physical training, which took him all afternoon, he went to the chakra control training. That training was a bit more difficult for Naruto because of the unbalance of his and the fox chakra but it was quickly resolved. The solution was to temporary lock the fox chakra away so it could not influence him or to throw his chakra control out of control.
The first chakra control exercise is, as usual, the tree climbing exercise but with an odd twist. While climbing the tree he was wearing a special kind of weights, those weights weight 100 pounds and if he puts more chakra to his feet rather than the right amount for the exercise the weight will add another 20 pounds depending on how much chakra he adds to his feet.
Nonetheless Naruto had managed to complete those exercise by the end of the day. Even though the physical exercises took a lot out of him. Thanks to his inhuman stamina he had mange to complete the improve chakra control exercise after 500 tries and after 500 times falling in his ass.
At night he was tested in seals which he found very interesting. He didn't know that studying seals with be so much fun and easy for him. (Even though technically it was his clones learning those seals). He was always tested which he always perfected, shocking Kuroikongou.
Every three days his training regime always intensified. Those 'warm-up exercise' had gotten more intense. Kuroikongou added weight to his ankles weighing 50 pounds in each limps and adding 10 more rounds in each exercise. Also the gym that he was using had tripled the weight to all the barbells that he was using. Also he added gymnastics and aerobics to his regime.
The chakra control exercise also intensified ten-folds. He now has to wear those special weights that were slightly enhanced to add 100 pounds if he puts too much chakra to an exercise. It was difficult for him not to drowned in the lake that Kuroikongou create for him and also difficult for him not to fall in a cliff that he was climbing. Also the waterfall climbing and the kunai and senbon needle balancing exercise was like hell impossible to him, especially the waterfall climbing exercise, he always fall to his ass because of the weights.
Kuroikongou was impressed by the boy. Truth be told he was waiting for Naruto to complain to him about the exercises that he was giving to him because he knows that it seems too much for the young boy, but it never came, not a single complain. He just executed all the exercise that he gave him. It surprised him because in his memories he seldom complains to that lazy sensei he was having in Konoha. The moment he ask why he wasn't complaining his answer completely shock him.
"You are the only one who gives the time and day to actually train me. If I complain about the training you're giving me it means that I'm not thankful and I am very thankful, master" was his simple answer.
That impressed him and at that moment decides to devote himself to training him with all of his master's knowledge that was left for him, especially for him.
After four months he had finally perfected the chakra control exercises. His chakra control now was almost as good as an ANBU. Also the result of the physical was also visible. His small body had turned very muscular, not like those body builders but still very big for his age he also grown a couple of inch because all the food that he was eating was all healthy and no ramen which he almost complain about.
After those four months and seeing the result of the first part of his training Kuroikongou decided to go to second stage of his training, which is taijutsu and genjutsu.
Kuroikongou started teaching Naruto his master's taijutsu style, Dance of the Diamond Dragon, which focuses on two principles, the first principle of the style is to move in high speed while delivering heavy kicks and punches, the second principle is to use the force of your opponent against him. The thing now that they have to work on now is speed, strength, and accuracy.
Naruto had surprised Kuroikongou yet again. He had managed to learn the basics of the style in under a week. That was rather surprising because his master took two years to complete that style. Even though he was using a hundred shadow clones while learning the basic it is still a remarkable thing to accomplish.
"Amazing this kid is just purely amazing. He manages to increase his speed and accuracy in a short period of time to learn the basic of the style. He even mange to learn some of its stances. He might learn this style faster than have predicted." Were the thoughts of Kuroikongou as he watches Naruto performing some katas?
The next part of his training or as Naruto likes to call it 'a pain in the head and a major pain in the ass' is genjutsu. This is the most difficult part in Naruto's training because he is not a genjutsu type and Naruto and Kuroikongou knows it.
Knowing that it's impossible for Naruto to cast a high ranking genjutsu even if his life depend on it. Kuroikongou only focused his training on casting low level genjutsu and dispelling high level genjutsu but even that task seemed very difficult for Naruto. He really wasn't a genjutsu type so even a small task that involved genjutsu was difficult for him to accomplish.
But even that problem was short lived. They solved that problem by adding more chakra control exercises and meditations in his regime, which greatly improved his focus and his ever improving chakra control. In addition it also improved the concentration he needed, to learn how to dispel any high or low genjutsu but for casting any genjutsu, well that was another different story. For casting genjutsu he still needed a lot more control and a hell of a lot of focus. It took him five months to actually get used in even using the simplest genjutsu. But for Kuroikongou his skill in genjutsu is proficient enough to actually use in a battle.
It took one year to finish the first and second part of his training. Now it's time to move on to the main part of his training namely ninjutsu and kenjutsu.
"Boy come" Kuroikongou called Naruto in the middle of his training.
"What is it master?" Ask Naruto.
"Boy your progress is a lot quicker than I have ever expected. In a year you had mastered my master's taijutsu style in less than three months. Your skills in genjutsu may not be the best but it it's still proficient enough to actually use in a battle. Also your fūinjutsu training is going very well to the extent that you might be considering as a fūinjutsu genius. With that we are going to start your ninjutsu training." said Kuroikongou.
Naruto was now excited. He always wanted to learn more about ninjutsu now his dream is about to come true and he is very excited.
"So what's first master?" Asked Naruto.
"First we are going to work on your elemental manipulation. You're not going to ask what's elemental manipulation is are you?" Asked Kuroikongou.
"Master I already know what elemental manipulation. Elemental manipulation is manipulating one's chakra to become an element. Every shinobi has at least one affinity towards an element. The most common elements are fire, wind, earth, lightning and water. There are also some sub-elements that could only achieve by combining some of the basic elements. Am I right master? Ask Naruto.
"You are correct boy. May I ask how did you learn the meaning of elemental manipulation?" Ask Kuroikongou.
"Master when my clones are studying about seals I send some clones to your library to learn other things like philosophy, anatomy, and history. I figure some knowledge will also help me against my enemy's one's I'm out in this scroll dimension. One of my clones found a book and scrolls about elemental manipulation and decided to read it. That's the reason why I learned about elemental manipulation." Naruto explained.
Kuroikongou is now officially impressed. The boy manages to learn some knowledge that will truly help him in the outside world without even him ordering him to do it. Now this part of his training will be a walk in the park.
"Impressive, now to get back to the main topic. So if you read the book about elemental manipulation you know what you're going to do next am I correct." Ask Kuroikongou.
Naruto nodded.
Kuroikongou then snap his fingers and the effect is instantaneous. The valley that they were currently residing turned into a forest.
"This boy will be you're training ground for your elemental manipulation. There are threes and waterfalls for your wind manipulation training. There is also giant lake over there for your water manipulation training. Lastly there is also a lot of shadow's here that you may use in your shadow manipulation training, any questions boy." said Kuroikongou.
"Yes just one, I know both exercise about wind and water manipulation but I know nothing about the exercises about shadow manipulation." Said Naruto.
After hearing what Naruto said Kuroikongou threw him a scroll?
"All the exercises about shadow manipulation are all in that scroll. So I suggest you start right now.
And so it begins his training with his elements. He had first created 600 clones and then assigning 200 clones in each exercise. He and 200 of the clone are the one's going to perform the wind manipulation exercise, 200 of the clones are doing the water manipulation exercise, and another 200 of the clones are doing the shadow manipulation exercise.
Naruto and his clone had started doing their respective exercises. The original Naruto and 200 of the clones had begun trying to cut a leaf in half because that is the first step in wind manipulation, another 200 clones had started trying to create a small current in the nearest lake and the remaining 200 clones begun reading the first step in shadow manipulation.
The scroll said the there are three steps in shadow manipulation. The first step in shadow manipulation is to make your shadow move. The second step is to expand the shadow. The third and last step is to make your shadow rise from the ground and materialize. After finishing the scroll the 200 clones began the first exercise.
Now his daily routine has change. His physical and chakra control training was now cut in half and only occupy the morning and all afternoon and evening was his elemental manipulation training.
His elemental manipulation training had progress in three months and the result was outstanding. By using 600 clones and 200 clones in each elemental exercises he had accomplish what a normal ninja would need several years to accomplish. He had mastered his affinities in less than three months. He had reach mastery of each his affinities in under a short amount of time and his mastery and control over his affinities is so good that he modified his taijutsu style using his three affinities and created three new taijutsu styles. He modified Dance of the Diamond Dragon to create the Dance of the Elemental Dragons. The Dance of the Elemental Dragons utilizes each of his elemental affinities to create three katas, The Dance of the Crystal Wind, The Dance of the Crimson Ocean, and The Dance of the Hell Shadow.
Each of those katas has its own specific uses. The Dance of the Crystal Wind is use for offence; the wind's cutting ability is the best way to deliver heavy and lethal damage. The Dance of the Crimson Ocean is use for defense, the water's ability of form modification is perfect in blocking heavy damage. The Dance of the Hell Shadow on the other hand is use for counter attacks and capture, the shadows ability to capture the enemy is the best way to set up a counter attack. If all those katas are combine The Dance of the Elemental Dragons is going to be a dangerous fighting style. The Dance of the Elemental Dragons is Naruto's original Taijutsu style.
He learned that each of his elements has a specific specialty in battle. The water element is an element which he could be modified to any shape he wants making it best for defense. Also water could also be used for drowning the opponents or trapping them in a large area. The shadow element on the other hand has the ability to manipulate your shadow or any shadow that he touches into a weapon that is suited for either capturing or attacking in different areas. The shadows also have the ability to create voids which he could either to teleport himself in a short distance or to spy on the enemy.
The wind on the other is a different element for Naruto. The wind is his favourite element even when he was in Konoha. The wind for him could do those things that water and shadow could do and more. The wind is an unpredictable element. The wind has many uses, it could be used for cutting or could be used as explosive or it could also be used to carry anything in the sky, or it could form cyclone's, tornado's or anything his heart desire, the possibilities is endless for this element. Thinking of the possibilities and the capabilities of the wind further excites Naruto.
The moment Naruto finish his elemental manipulation training his master has given him accessed to the jutsu library. The jutsu library is full of jutsu that was bordering from C-class to S-class jutsu. Most of the jutsu in the library are water and wind base but there are also some of the elements like lightning, earth, and fire. But the thing that Naruto found it strange was that there are only handfuls of shadow base jutsu. He asks his master why and his master answer is...
"There are only handfuls of shadow base jutsu because a person who has a shadow affinity only comes along one's every 50 years. So there are only few jutsu's which is shadow base. The Nara clan can't be consider having a shadow affinity because they don't even know the full potential of the shadow element.
Hearing what his master said gave him an idea. The idea was to create his own jutsu, not for just shadow but also his wind and water element. With that said he only picks out a few jutsu from the jutsu library and began studying them and slowly trying to master them and after mastering them trying to create a new version of the jutsu.
That has been his routine for three months, with the help of his clone, learning a new jutsu and creating three or more version of that jutsu. In less than three months he has learned many jutsu and created quite a few of his own. His creations were all A-class and S-class base on the jutsu that he had already mastered. But his real master piece was the Rasengan.
Yes his best work and his greatest creation was modifying and improving the Rasengan. He master one's said that the Rasengan is a jutsu with limitless potential and truth be told Naruto agreed with him 100%. The Rasengan was his first offensive jutsu and his signature ninjutsu. That was why he had improved it as much as possible.
He had improved the Rasengan by adding his affinities to the jutsu. The effect was incredible, it had tripled the power of the Rasengan but strangely that wasn't enough for him. So not yet satisfied he decided to create other version of the Rasengan. In three months he has successfully created four Rasengan all of them wind base and he was aiming in creating nine more versions. The reason why all of them are wind base was because his master observation of the Rasengan was that it was perfect for wind base jutsu
Another three months had pass and now Naruto has an impressive ninjutsu library and had created many original jutsu and created a total of 13 version of the Rasengan all bordering from S-class to SS-class and two of those versions are SSS- class design to destroy large area in one hit and Naruto is proud of his creation and also his master was proud of him.
Kuroikongou was impressed. Not just because he mastered his elemental manipulation training in record time but also because his determination in creating and improving his jutsu. He was right the kid was a genius when it comes to ninjutsu. Those jutsu's that he created was a sentiment to what he said.
Now the kid's level might be compared to a kage. His chakra capacity surpassed some of the kage's his master and him have faced in the pass. His skill level is practically kage level as well, with a mastery of his element, a very high level in ninjutsu, mastery in fūinjutsu, a high level in taijutsu, and a mid-level in genjutsu. Yes the kid could be a kage right now but there is one more thing that the kid need to learn and that was his specialty.
"Boy leave your clones to do you're ninjutsu
As they walk far from the clones Naruto notice that the appearance of the field is changing. The forest was change into a graveyard full of swords. Naruto is now trying to decipher what is the meaning of this. But suddenly he felt a sword was about to hit him so he jump a couple of feet. After avoiding the sword he glared at the one who almost cut him in half. It shocked him to see that it was his master holding a sword that was made out of a black diamonds.
"Boy you're kenjutsu training begins now" he said as he stand and look at his student. "You're training in the other arts has already progress. You're a genius when it comes to elemental manipulation, ninjutsu, and fūinjutsu. You have some talent in taijutsu. You're only weak point is your genjutsu, you could not cast a high level genjutsu but at least you could dispel them. Now let's begin the final step of your training, my favourite, kenjutsu." Kuroikongou explain.
"Master I have a question. Why attack me if I'm learning kenjutsu." Naruto asked. The question was answer in another sideward slash which Naruto narrowly avoided
"The reason why I'm attacking with a sword is because it is the fastest way for you to learn kenjutsu. Now boy pick-up a sword and lets start the training or do you want me to massacre you before you pick out a sword." said Kuroikongou shouting the last part.
Naruto hearing his master grab the nearest sword that he could see and prepared in a basic sword stance.
His master seeing that begun his attack. He charged at Naruto in a speed that was as fast as Rock Lee when he opened the gates then hitting Naruto with a powerful downward thrust which Naruto block with his sword. Naruto was shocked by the power of that thrust, it felt like being hit by a two ton boulder. But that didn't stop his master he quickly followed it up by a combination of slashes and stabs in which Naruto narrowly blocked or dodge.
"First lesson always listen to your sword." He said after thrusts. He then continues his lecture and onslaught "A sword is not an ordinary weapon it has a heart and you must listen to it to become a kenjutsu master." After finishing what he said he grabs the nearest sword and tried to slash Naruto's mid-section but Naruto had mange to block but the result was both their swords being shattered.
After his sword being shattered he quickly jumps a couple of feet and grabs the nearest sword he could see then returning to a defensive stance. His master, seeing that Naruto was now armed, quickly charged. He tried another slash in Naruto head but Naruto blocked it with his sword and grabbing the nearest sword his master tried another thrust this aiming to his feet but Naruto, noticing the thrust, quickly jump another couple of feet away from his master. "Lesson two always study you're terrain and make it you're ally." After finishing what he said he charged at Naruto again.
'The hell with this I'm being manned-handle. If this continued I'll be slaughter for sure. There is only one way for me to turn the tide and that.' As he thought of an idea he grabbed nearby sword 'is to attack myself.' He then charged at his master with all his strength.
'Smart move but IT'S NOT ENOUGH' He then meet with Naruto in an exchange of slash and thrust in mid-air. As they continue to trade blows Naruto was beginning to weaken because of the strong attacks that his master was giving him. His master noticing it grin 'It's time for a little dance.' at that though he began to do a complicated series of thrust and slicing moves. Naruto seeing those moves tried to create distance between him and his master but it was no avail. He was finding it difficult to defend in the barrage of attacks then suddenly he felt a strong hit in the gut. Looking at the source of pain he saw the fist of his master connecting to his gut and it was followed by an uppercut and then a swift kick to the gut sending him a couple of feet away from him.
"Lesson number three don't focus on the sword also focus at the body of your opponent"
With that said Naruto pick up another sword and charged at his master again.
That has been their new routine. Naruto will create a thousand clones that will work on his chakra control exercise, his ninjutsu training, and his study in fūinjutsu. The original Naruto on the other hand will be train by Kuroikongou in kenjutsu.
Naruto's training in kenjutsu only consist in one exercise and that's not to get kill by his master while learning the basic strikes and stances of kenjutsu easy right? Well not exactly. His master's styles is wild and dangerous and count to that his masterful; control over that giant sword of his. It was difficult for him not just to get beheaded by his master but also trying to attack his master as well.
But because Naruto is a fast learner and he could easily adapt to anything he had mange to figure out his master style in a week and that cause him less injuries after the end of their session but still it was still difficult for him to actually think of a counter but still it was an improvement. It took him a month to create an original dance of his own to counter his master's wild style but still his master's experience and masterful control over his large sword is still biting him in the ass. He was still trying to figure out how to counter that but for now he has a large sword to dodge.
That's chapter 2 this is where the story becomes different than the original story. Next chapter Naruto learns to control the kyuubi's chakra.
