Summoning a Friend

Part 4

'Living on land that had once belonged to a clan was a little weird,' Naruto decided. 'I almost think some long lost member of the clan is going to come barging in here and scold me. But I have Turi-chan to protect me!'

The aforementioned dragon was currently sunbathing while she waited for her friend to arrive. Naruto had insisted that she refer to him as her friend because he didn't want her thinking he was some big asswipe. She still couldn't believe he knew that kind of language even when he said he was an orphan that had spent a lot of time on the streets. He was so young!

"Hey Turi-chan, what are we doing today?" Naruto called as he ran into the clearing where Turita was sunbathing. She had begun teaching him two days after they moved in and he was soaking it all up.

"Well since I've been teaching about the different casts of dragons I thought I would teach you some of our history."

"Aww Turi-chan can't you teach me some fun? Like how to fight and stuff any cool jutsu?" Naruto turned his big bright blue eyes on the dragon and proved once and for all that it had to be a technique. No ones eyes did that naturally.

"Very well Naruto. I will teach you the basics of dragon kata but should you miss use it I will stop and we will go back to learning history, understood." she stood over him and he nodded very rapidly.

It satisfied her to know that Naruto was a very quick study when it came to the things he really wished to know and so as the days passed she added some things to her teachings. Slowly as he went through the kata meant for the young dragons who were earth bound until their wings developed, she taught him dragon history.

It would be a small story and the next day she would ask him to recite the story from the previous day as he went through the kata. The first time he went all the way through one story without having to ask her to tell him again she added to his kata. And so it went, she would talk while he worked and then he would repeat it the next day, improving his mind and body at the same time.

When he had the basic forms down she taught him a modified version of the advanced kata, he couldn't use the original after all he had no wings. This too was soaked up like a sponge soaks up water.

It was during one of these advanced lessons that they had their first visitor since the Hokage gave them the property.

"Naruto Uzumaki?" came a male voice from the front gates. It hadn't taken her long to add a few dragon protections to their property to keep unwanted people away.

"We had best go and see who that is Naruto-kun." Turita said as she moved to do just that Naruto following her.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" he called when he spotted the scarred man.

"Troublesome, my name Shikaku Nara and I'm here because the Hokage sent me to check up on you and ask if you wanted to join the academy."

Now had Naruto been asked this a few weeks ago he may have said yes but as it was, "No, I don't want to join the academy. I have a teacher who likes me."

With that he went back to his training leaving an interested Nara at the gate.

It hadn't been his intention to not join the academy but now that he had a friend he didn't want to leave her or do anything that would make her stop teaching him. So he made sure the Hokage knew that he might one day become a ninja but now, now he just wasn't interested.

"Okay Turi-chan, now what?" came the young voice of Naruto as he finished the second form of the advanced kata.

"Now comes the true practice Naruto-kun."

"True practice?"

Slowly Turita began to chant, her chant caused her to glow a deep blue color which as the minute passed became smaller.

"Turi-chan!"

When the glow died down there before Naruto was a girl in her late teens with deep blue hair and slightly purple blue eyes. She was naked!

"A what the hell!"

"Naruto-kun? Is there a problem?"

"Turi-chan?" the girl nodded, "You're naked."

"Well Naruto I'm always naked and besides it's been a while since I had the chance to use this form so I haven't got any clothes."

It sounded like his Turi-Chan but, "Are you really my Turi-Chan?"

"Naruto Dragons have all kinds of skills because when you live for so long skill is only a matter of time and work. So clothes, Naruto-kun."

He nodded, "right clothes I'll be right back." as he left Turita wondered if perhaps she should've told him what sizes to get.

"I'm back!" Naruto came barreling into the training yard arms loaded with clothes.

"That didn't take you long Naruto-kun." looking at everything she said, "You didn't have to get so much Naruto"

"Huh? Oh well they all came from the house, so…"

"Why do you have girl clothes?"

"Because of my sexy jutsu. I thought it would need clothes but then I learned that I could just make her with clothes on too."

Turita's eye twitched but let it slide, she'd have to have words with him late for now however. "Alright let me get dressed and then we take the next step with your kata."

"Oh, okay." he watched as she picked out what she liked and then got dressed, what he was just a kid not a perverted old man with a fetish!

"Alright ready Naruto-kun?"

"Yep! So 'next step'?"

"We spar."

And spar they did she put him through his paces not letting him catch his breath until she had worked up a sweat herself. Which being used to heat made working up a sweat a hard thing for her to do.

"That was mean Turi-chan." came a winded scolding from Naruto.

"Well if you want to learn you need to know how to use your kata even when you're dead on your feet."

"Okay, but that was still mean."

"Catch your breath drink some water and let's get back to it." a groan was her reply.

They spent the next three months like that Naruto learning for shear survival and Turita teaching him how to survive. Turita also made sure to teach him how to harness his chakra because she noticed he had a lot of it.

In the middle of the second month she began to teach him simple chakra control methods to get him ready for higher ranked jutsu, dragon and human jutsu alike. She knew she should wait until the Royal Elders accepted him as a Dragon Friend but she didn't think they would have a problem with him. He was after all the only one in the whole of history to summon a dragon without signing the scroll of summoners.

That had shocked her when he showed her how he had summoned her, he made his own personal summoning seal. She had looked over everything he had done but could barely understand half of it, she couldn't wait to introduce him to Megiduria the Royal Elder of Seals. She guarded all of the dragons sealing secrets and had been the one to make the summoning scroll. Turita just could picture the gob smacked expression on the older dragons face when Turita told her of their newest summoners skill.
