Chapter Three: Getting on the road.
After a week in the hospital Naru was finally dismissed, much to her delight as she absolutely hated hospitals of any kind (Hey if you were practically raised in one, because you were always beaten to within an inch of your life, you'd hate them to). "Okay kit head for the Hokage tower so we can pay a visit to the Sandiame. Might as well get it over with as fast as possible" Kyuubi said with a bit of annoyance to his voice.
Naru giggled at the Kyuubi's dismay. She knew he wasn't looking forward to his little talk with Sarutobi any more then Naru was about giving up ramen. 'Come on Kyuu-kun, Ojii-san will under stand. I'm sure he will, he's not the type to hold a mistake agents some one' Naru said through the mental link.
"Ya well, when the "mistake" is one were you kill hundreds of shinobi and destroy one fourth of a village; humans tend to look down on it and not forgive. You of all people should know this" Naru frowns at that. It was true, because of that one mistake her life had been a living hell and she had lost her eye sight and if not for Kyuubi her dream. 'Who knew that mistakes can do so much damage?' Naru thought to her self. "Not that I care what the humans of this village think mind you, or any human for that matter. Hell there's only a handful of humans that I'll even give consideration of their opinion for and I mean that literally as you can count them on your hands" Kyuubi said in a lade back tone, but Naru could swear she herd a soft, almost none existent chuckle.
'Uh-huh, let me guess Ojii-san is one of those people isn't he?' Naru thought with amusement at the Kyuubi's misfortune as she entered the Hokage tower.
"Kit don't push it. Just because you earned my respect and I promised the Yondaime, doesn't mean I'll tolerate every thing you say or do. So watch it." Kyuubi warned.
'Ya, ya what ever' Naru said while rolling her eyes 'Any way how are you going to talk to Ojii-san? I mean I can't just let you out. Well at least not while we're in the village. I can just hear the council calling for my death now if that was the only way' Naru said with a bit of curiosity and fear.
"Well kit we can do it one of two ways. I can talk through you or we bring him into the mindscape. Though no matter what we do, he will still more then likely have a heart attack just because he's talking to me. So it really doesn't matter" Kyuubi said with chuckle.
'I highly doubt that. For as long as I can remember, I have yet to see him get that scared and have long sense given up trying to' Naru said with a sigh.

Rina was working on organizing paper work before she gave it to the Sandiame to look over and sign when she saw Naru turn the corner and come her way. "Hay Naru-chan What are you doing here? Your suppose to be at the hospital until I could come pick you up. Come to think of it, how in Kami's name did you get here from the hospital without being able to see?" Rina asked with a confused look on her face.
"Hay Onee-chan. I always come here after I get out of the hospital, so it's like second nature for me. Just like how birds know where to go during the winter even if its their first time making the trip" Naru said with a smile. 'I cant possibly tell her Kyuubi gave me a chakra radar so I can "see" out here, She would freak and make a seen. I still remember the time I told her a villager broke my arm. She put him in a coma!' Naru shuddered at the thought of her surrogate big sister flipping out before leaving the office to take care of the idiot of a villager. "Any way Onee-chan is Ojii-san here? I need to talk to him about something" Naru asked with a smile.
"Yes, I was just going to bring him some paper work that he needs to be looked over. Why don't you come in with me? It'll give him an excuse to not do the paper work for a while" Rina said as they began walking to the Hokage's office; giggling at the thought of the Hokage trying find a way out of doing paper work.
"You're evil Onee-chan" Naru said while giggling "You know how much Sarutobi-jiji hates paper work, yet you make stacks in advance so that when he's too preoccupied to notice you sneak it in; so that it looks like it grew while he was talking."
"Hay it's not my fault that he has a one track mind, and beside its funny as hell to see his reaction. It never gets old" She replied laughing "Come on Naru-chan, can you honestly tell me you wouldn't do the same thing given the opportunity?"
"No" Naru said before laughing her head off.
"Then why are we having this discussion?" Rina asked with a smirk.
"Onee-chan its me. I mean who else do you know that would willingly prank ANBU agents, Uchihas, Hyuugas, and pretty much every clan in the village?" Naru asked tilting her head to the side.
"Hmm good point" Rina laughed as they reached the office door. With a knock they waited till the Sandiame told them it was okay to come in.

Sarutobi was siting in his chair too shocked to speak. Naru was sitting in front of his desk wondering if the old man really did have a heart attack just by talking to the Kyuubi. 'Wow, I didn't think he would really act like this. I mean gaping like a fish maybe, but to just sit there looking like the Shinigami came and started tap dancing in front of him?' Naru thought while waiting for Sarutobi to snap out of it.
"I told you he'd do something like this didn't I? Don't worry he'll be fine, just give him a few minutes" Kyuubi said like it was an everyday thing.
'Kyuu-kun it doesn't even look like he's breathing!' Naru said worry clear in her voice.
"You would look like that too if a demon that's supposed to be sealed away, started talking to you through the person it was sealed in. Telling you why it attacked your village and that it was going to give its prison a way to "see" because he/she is blind, senses beyond human capability, a bloodline, a phoenix egg, clothes no human can ever hope to get, and if that's not enough, training the person that it should be trying to brake out of and then destroying them…or did I leave any thing out?" Kyuubi said sarcastically.
'Yes, you forgot about the part of making a promise to the person that was sealing the demon into it's prison in the first place to keep it safe, and seeing its prison as its kit' Naru said back smirking, while in the mindscape the Kyuubi hit his head on the wall of his cage over and over again.
'Why did I have to get a smart ass for a vessel? Couldn't she at least pretend to show me respect?!' "I'll get you for the smart ass comment later, but for now let's focus on the main topic at hand" Kyuubi said sighing.
Sarutobi had just snapped out of his trance like state and was now taking out a bottle of sake from his desk dower and setting it on the desk. "Well I can honestly say I didn't see that one coming and to be honest I'm not sure I wanted to. How the hell am I suppose to explain this to the council?" Sarutobi asked before taking a drink from the sake bottle.
"That's easy. You don't" Kyuubi said through Naru.
"That would be the smart thing to do, but this is something that falls under the category of "TELL THE COUNCIL OUR ELSE" and then spend the rest of the night filling out paper work." Sarutobi explained before taking another drink of sake.
"Okay let me put it this way then. You tell the council of idiots about this and the most likely thing to happen is they will put kit here to death in fear I'm braking out or taking control of her" Kyuubi said trying to keep his temper. It would not do to lose that again, it was the whole reason they were in this mess in the first place.
"I see your point" said Sarutobi with a sigh as he handed the bottle of sake to Rina who had stayed at the request of Naru, much to the Kyuubi's displeasure.
After taking a drink she handed it back to the Sandiame before talking "So what now? I mean how can you train in the village with all the villager's and shinobi watching? Wouldn't it be a little strange if a blind girl who "just so happens to be the Kyuubi vessel" starts walking around and training like nothing happened at all?" She asked while thinking what would probably happen and gave a shudder.
"Yes I had thought that same thing and came up with two, maybe three solutions. We could go on a training trip outside the village, but for that we would need some one to go with her to say they were going to help her get use to her "handicap". From there we can just say she got some training while on the road or we can go to the demon realm and train there; but I would like to avoid that if at all possible. Demons don't really like having humans walking around in their realm even if they're a demon vessel. Last but not least if there is one, we could use a secrete training ground. However that still limits us to what we can do." Kyuubi explained his plans to the Hokage and his secretary/containers surrogate big sister.
"Well we don't have a training ground that would be good enough to use if you need secrecy and the demon realm I'm not even going to comment on as it should be plain to see what I'm going to say. So I guess I need to find someone trustworthy to accompany you" Sarutobi said sounding tired as he took one last drink from the sake bottle before putting it back in his desk dower.
"Hokage-sama if its okay with you, I would like to accompany them. I really don't trust any one with Naru-chan outside the village even if Kyuubi-san is helping her. The only people in this village that don't treat Naru like the Kyuubi, no offense…" she said looking at Naru/Kyuubi.
"None taken" Was the Kyuubis only reply.
"..besides you and I, is Iruka who is teaching at the academy, his assistant Mizuki (A/N: In this story Mizuki is a good guy. Don't ask why because I don't know my self. I just feel like he should be a good guy, I mean with the way he looks and acts before he betrays, it just seems wrong to make him into a bad guy. I know it's was just to trick Naruto, but still. So sorry he's a good guy) who is also teaching at the academy, Kakashi who is an ANBU captain and can't really leave with out his team and that would include telling them about all this, which we can't do. Then there's the ramen stand owners who are not ninja and can't really help to protect her in-case something happens and they also need to run their ramen stand" Rina asked/told Sarutobi with the same look on her face as a mother worried about their child, or sister about her younger siblings.
Sarutobi looked at his secretary for a few minutes before giving her a soft smile. "Well if you put it that way then I really can't argue now can I?" He said smiling at her. At this news Rina smiled knowing that Naru was going to be safe with her and Kyuubi. Though she might have to get use to the Kyuubi fact.
Chuckling Sarutobi looked at N/K (A/N: Short for Naru/Kyuubi as it's a pain to write and just a waste of time so from now on that's what that means) "Is that alright with you Kyuubi-san?" Sarutobi asked.
"It's fine. Besides the kit would kill me if I said no and I'm parity sure so would Rina-san after she found a way to get me out of kit" Kyuubi said in a fearful tone that surprised the Sandiame.
Sarutobi could swear he also herd "You got that right" from Rina and was positive Naru was thinking the same thing. "Well in that case I'll make the arrangements and you three can leave tomorrow afternoon" Sarutobi said lighting his pipe.
"That sounds fine Hokage-sama" Kyuubi said with respect and gave a half bow, but before he went back into the seal he heard Sarutobi say something he wish he didn't.
"By the way Kyuubi. I do not envy you, as travailing with, or in your case in, two girls on the road can only spell trouble" Sarutobi said before ducking a kunai that had bin thrown at him. Looking at the kunai in the wall behind him and then at them Sarutobi smiled at N/K "See what I mean"

The next day was uneventful, up until it was time for the three to leave the village. Kyuubi had given the phoenix egg to Naru last night. It was a sky blue color with a red flame pattern around the bottom of it and if you were not careful when you were holding it you would most likely burn yourself. He had also given her the clothes that would withstand the elements. So that when she used her new bloodline they wouldn't burn up leaving her exposed, and it would give her protection agents the other four elements. (mostly lightning and wind, as you can't really protect yourselves form water and earth. They just go right around it. With wind its only when its focused on key points other wise its the same as water and earth.)
Rina and Naru were currently standing in front of the west gate. Naru was dressed in her new outfit which consisted of a chain mail under shirt, with a black long sleeve shirt over it with flames going up the sleeves and at the base of the shirt. She was wearing black ANBU style pants, a kunai holster on her right leg and shuriken pouch on her left hip and black shinobi sandals. She had replaced her blind fold from the medical cloth they gave her at the hospital to a black silk cloth with a crimson red rose in the center of her eyes, and to finish the look she wore a cloak like the one her father the Yondaime Hokage use to ware, but with some key differences. Instead of white it was a dark blue with gold flames at the bottom and on the back was a phoenix with a crimson red rose in its beak, the kanji for 'Crimson' on the right side and rose on the left. She had her red hair tied back into a pony tail that went to just above the center of her back.
Naru absolutely loved her new look. It brought out her natural beauty, but gave the impression 'fuck with me and pay the price'. The clothes allowed for grate flexibility and was quit comfortable and didn't weigh her down; but when she added chakra to it, it would give her better protection then titanium armor.
"Well Naru-chan train hard so that when you come back you can pass the genin test. Then you can take your first steps to taking this hat from me" Sarutobi said with a soft chuckle. He had gone to see them off, and was surprised to see Naru's new look. He had to admit, it looked really good on her. Hell it made him want to think if fighting her would be a smart choice or a bad move.
"Don't worry Ojii-san I wont let you down I'm going to train my absolute hardest and when my body can't train any more, I'll just train my mind" Naru said with a determined look on her face.
"I believe you will" Sarutobi said with a smile before turning to Rina. "Make sure to keep her safe and to come back in time for her graduation"
"Hai, Hokage-sama. We'll make sure to make it back in time" Rina said before smirking. "Just make sure you keep that hat nice and clean for when Naru-chan takes it"
Laughing Sarutobi nodded his head with a smile to show that he would do just that.
"Bye Ojii-san see you in six years, and don't you dare die on me or I'll never forgive you" Naru said giving Sarutobi a hug goodbye.
"Don't worry Naru-chan I don't plan on dying anytime soon" Sarutobi said kneeling down and hugging Naru back.
When every thing was all said and done Naru and Rina left out of the gate to began the long six year training trip.

"Okay kit you got the basic stuff down. So you should be able to pass the genin test with no problem. We'll work on Kenjutsu next month, but for now lets get started on training your bloodline okay" Kyuubi said from off to the side next to Rina. After leaving the village Kyuubi had showed Naru the Kitsune Kuchiyose no Jutsu so that way she could summon him in order to help teach her better. Naru was practicing the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. During the their training session Kyuubi had told Naru that she had too much chakra to do the Bunshin no Jutsu so he would teach her the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to work around that and to use to help speed up her training.
"Okay Kyuu-kun" Naru said after dismissing the clones she had just made. Walking over to them Naru collapsed when she got there breathing hard.
"Naru-chan don't over do it. What good is training if you kill yourself before you can use anything you learned?" Rina asked sitting down on her knees and resting Naru's head on them while she wiped her forehead with a cold wet cloth.
"Sorry Onee-chan, but I can't help it. I need to become stronger so I can protect you and Ojii-san as well as the village" Said Naru as she smiled at her sister.
Rina just sighed as she untied Naru's silk blindfold to wipe underneath it. "Please just try okay, that's all I ask" She said retying the blindfold
"Okay Onee-chan" Naru said happily before turning her head to face the Kyuubi. "So Kyuu-kun how are we going to train in my bloodline?" she asked with curiosity.
"Were not going to do any thing until you activate it" Kyuubi said lying down and resting his head on his front paws.
"How do I do that?" asked Naru while tilting her head to the side, or as close as she could sense her head was still in Rina's lap.
"If I told you now, Rina-chan would probably kill me. So I'll tell you tomorrow, for now just get some rest and no buts. I really don't feel like being killed for something like this" Kyuubi said with a yawn before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
"Ya know, he's a smart little fox isn't he?" Rina said giggling at how cute the Kyuubi is when he know not to do something.
"Onee-chan, there a difference between smart and self preservation. Though I wish he would at least act like the demon lord he is every once in a while, it's kinda pathetic that you got him trained like a little puppy" Naru said while moving to get up so she could get hers and Rina's sleeping bags ready as it was getting dark out.
"That's true, I could just imagine the Hokages reaction if I told him" Rina laughed "You'd think he'd believe me I did tell him?" She asked Naru as she set up a camp fire.
"Honestly I doubt it. Though he might, I mean he did say that travailing with two women would be nothing but trouble and that he didn't envy Kyuu-kun. Maybe this is what he meant by it" Naru said laying down in her sleeping bag.
"Well if nothing else it would be good to keep for blackmail" Rina said laying in her sleeping bag next to Naru.
"Is it really smart to blackmail a demon lord?" Naru asked facing her head to Rina.
"No, but that just makes it more fun" Rina said smiling at Naru.
"Onee-chan maybe you should stop hanging around with that snake lady. Your beginning to act like her" Naru said with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry Naru-chan we won't see Anko for anther five and a half years so get some sleep okay" Rina said giving Naru a goodnight kiss on the forehead.
"Goodnight Onee-chan" Naru said falling asleep.
"Goodnight Naru-chan" Rina said before she to feel asleep.
