Everyone had left the tower in the Forest of Death and went back into the village to begin their training. Naruto Karui, Omoi, and Samui were able to find their way back to their hotel and, with Yugito and Bee, decided to go over everything for the four weeks.

"Alright so what are we going to be doing? Karui-oneechan and I are going to be training together so that just leaves you two," Naruto said turning to Samui and Omoi. The two Kumo genin sighed and thought about it. Due to their kenjutsu skills and advanced teamwork with Naruto, the four were placed under the same genin team. The blonde was also a part of Team Jinchuuriki which also had a high success rate on their missions. Raikage felt that it wouldn't do good to break Naruto away from Yugito and Bee, but he wanted to consider the blonde's teamwork with Karui, Omoi and Samui, so in the end the six were made a team. Normally this wouldn't be allowed, but over the years it was proven to be a great success.

"Well I could train Samui for the time being. She needs to learn some more stuff anyway," Yugito said placing her hand on Samui's shoulder. The two blonde women smiled and nodded with each other while Bee placed his arm around Omoi's neck.

"Lollipop and I will be working together also. Bee-sama's gonna train ya real good yeah!" Bee said an Omoi groaned.

"Great, no sleep for me. I'm probably gonna be training so hard that I'll be too exhausted to do well in the finals. Is that weapons girl gonna hurt me if I drag her down due to my lack of sleep. Man, this is bad," Omoi said to himself in thought. Naruto and Karui chuckled at Omoi's face which unconsciously paled when he learned he would be getting trained by Bee. He figured he would be used to it by now, but that just wasn't the case was it?

"Well I guess that's it then. Well Karui-chan and I are off. See you guys later," Naruto said grabbing his sword and leaving the room. Karui gave her friends a goodbye and caught up with Naruto.

"So Kitten, when he does become a chunin what are you going to do with him?" Nibi asked and Yugito raised an eyebrow.

"What does that mean?" Yugito asked her normally perverted tenant, which could only mean that this answer was going to be perverted by all means.

"Well I mean are you going to allow him to let me out or am I going to stay in this lonesome place?" Nibi asked and Yugito almost felt the urge to go to her cage and strangle her bijuu to death.

"What the hell Nibi!" Yugito yelled shocking her bijuu. Nibi raised an eyebrow at her container and wondered what her problem was.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" she asked and Yugito shook her head which brought the attention of Samui, Omoi and Bee onto her without her realizing it.

"NO! You said something right. Something that wasn't perverted. The Nibi I know couldn't do a sentence without it being a perverted one," Yugito replied and Nibi felt her eyebrow twitch. Okay so she was perverted, but come on. Did her container really think she couldn't talk about other things? Did she think so low of her?

"I'm insulted by that statement Kitten. I'm more mature than that at least. Hmph, besides I'll be sure to thank Naruto-kun when I finally get out. I'll do this then that and maybe I'll even experiment with that," Nibi snickered which sent a very cold chill down Yugito's spine.

"What's this unsettling feeling?" Yugito wondered as she and Samui walked out the door to go train.

With Naruto and Karui

Currently the two were in a heated practice kenjutsu match. Naruto was every bit as cunning and slippery as Karui remembered. She tried a reverse kick to his face, but the blonde dodged the attack and with a twisted of his body he brought one of his sword across his body and nearly slashed at Karui which only managed to cut a small portion of her hair. Karui backflipped and Naruto threw one of his swords at her. She barely had the time to react, but she managed to deflected the attack with her own sword sending it flying, but she made the mistake of taking her eyes off of Naruto and she was met with a kunai to her throat.

"Karui-oneechan you were half a step too slow dattebayo," Naruto making it a simple rhyme. Karui chuckled before slightly bonking Naruto on the head.

"I don't want to her that from the otouto that shifts his arms too much when he swings. Well we did formation A, now let's go with formation D," Karui told him. Naruto nodded and picked up his second sword and turned to her.

"Formation Delta? Umm...Karui-neechan I don't think we need to go that far. Besides without Samui-oneechan and Omoi, well we can't do it alone. Formation A or Alpha only requires two to three people. Formation B or Beta requires three to four and Formation D or Delta what we're doing now requires all four of us," Naruto told her. Karui grinned and tapped her shoulder with her sword.

"And what jutsu do you know that can help us with that?" Karui asked and Naruto instantly slapped his forehead.

"Duh. Kage Bunshin no jutsu," Naruto yelled and made two clones. Each clone grabbed it's own sword and stood next to Karui and the real Naruto.

"You remember how it works? Karui asked and Naruto scoffed before getting into the stance he learned from Bee.

"Perfectly. It would work even better if I knew a fuuton jutsu. We managed it with raiton jutsu, but that's not enough is it?" Naruto asked and Karui sighed.

"Not it's not, but we can't do anything about it. So let's go," Karui said crossing her fingers. Naruto had taught the Kage Bunshin technique to Samui, Karui, and Omoi a few years back. They really put the clones to good use and so did Naruto. Naruto could still make the most clones out of any of them, but they more than made up for it with effort and technique.

"Alright Karui-oneechan," Naruto said and with his clones, the three charged at the Karui clones while the real Karui stayed back behind Naruto. She went through some handsigns and watched as Naruto and his clones jumped and spun around the area with their swords clashing along with Karui's clones.

"Well he seems to be having his fun," Karui said to herself as she slammed the ground.

"Raiton: Kaminari no Jishin( Lightning Release: Thunder Quake)" Karui yelled and immediately the ground started to shake. Clouds formed in the skies and a single strand of lightning hit Naruto's sword. The blonde redirected the lightning towards his clones and soon the Karui clones were trapped in a square between each Naruto clone.

"Raiton: Kami no Jishin( Lighting Release: Divine Quake)" The four Naruto's yelled and the two Karui clones were executed by three strong flashes of lightning that made the ground shake violently. It struck the two Karui clones and quickly made them dispel. When it was over, Naruto and his clones dropped to the ground and the blonde dispelled his clones and their memories rushed back to him.

"How are you feeling?" Karui asked rubbing her head. The feeling of getting hit by lightning was a terrifying one.

"I feel like I got split in two. So what formation do we do next?" Naruto asked and instantly Karui dropped to the floor. She really hated her little brother's stamina. It was insane.

"What formation? The only formation I'm going to learn right now is the 'how to take a break and rest on a tree' formation. Why don't you get us something to eat? I'm starving," Karui said rubbing her stomach. Naruto chuckled and got to his feet.

"What would you like?" Naruto asked taking out his wallet. Karui thought for a few minutes and then smiled as she turned to her little brother.

"How about some carry-out? Like some steak or beef strips. Maybe some soup too. I heard Konoha is great with it's food so I'd like to try it out," Karui said with a grin. Naruto chuckled as he walked away.

"Don't you mean pig out Nee-chan," Naruto replied which earned him a small pebble to the head. The blonde rubbed his head as he walked off from the training field they were at. The day hadn't ended for them so it was close to sunset time.

Naruto walked into the district of Konoha and looked around. It was all so familiar, well except for the stares, but that seemed to have been gone. At least he thought, because it was then that Naruto saw people staring at him with a mysterious look on their faces like they were trying to find a damn criminal. It unnerved the blonde slightly as he walked into a BBQ restaurant. He looked around and saw a team from Konoha eating there. It was the bearded jonin, Asuma, if Naruto remembered correctly along with Choji, Ino and Shikamaru. Naruto watched them converse for a bit, but he then forgot about it and walked up to the counter.

"May I help you sir?" some woman asked him. Naruto looked around for a minute and then turned back to her.

"Umm...can I get some steak and rice. Along with a bit of soup?" Naruto asked. The woman nodded and after a few minutes of waiting, she gave Naruto his food and the blonde paid for it. He then was about to leave, but someone stopped him.

"Well if it isn't the Kumo genin that beat that sound guy. Wat'cha doin' here?"

Naruto turned around to see Choji waving at him and Naruto gave a simple wave back allowing the rest of Choji's team to see him. He also noticed Ino scowling at him and the blonde raised an eyebrow and wondered what the hell her problem was.

"Umm...hey guys. What's with blondie right there?" Naruto asked and everyone looked at Ino narrowing her eyes at Naruto.

"Oh, she's just upset that your teammates kicked Sasuke's ass the way she did. It really was a troublesome fight," Shikamaru said rubbing the back of his head. Naruto chuckled when he remembered the fight his sister had with Sasuke. It was kind of funny to see the Uchiha get his ass handed to him on a silver platter.

"I see, well that's the way it goes I guess. Well I get to get going. After I give my sis some food, I'm gonna hit the library and see if there is any books on Fuuton jutsu," Naruto told them.

"You've got Fuuton chakra?" Asuma asked and Naruto nodded at his question.

"That's right. That along with katon and raiton natures. There aren't any Fuuton jutsu users in Kumo so I'm a little lost for that," Naruto replied and then Shikamaru's team turned to Asuma with grins and the bearded jonin sighed and took a big puff of his smoke.

"And I thought I was going to have some time off. What's your name?" He asked. Normally he would know, but he was the laziest jonin so never knew. Not to mention, he might have been distracted when the blonde's name was on top of the screen during the chunin exams.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," The blonde said and Asuma gave a reaction. A big reaction at that. He coughed on his cigarette and proceeded to pound his chest while Ino offered him some water to drink. Asuma gulped it down and when he was under control he turned back to Naruto.

"Can you repeat that?" He asked and Naruto sighed. This really was getting to be annoying to the blonde, but he said it again since the jonin asked.

"I said I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," Naruto said and this time Asuma looked at the ground and his cigarette fell to the floor. He widened his eyes and that look wasn't missed by his genin.

"N-N-Namikaze? Then this is the Fourth's-" Asuma thought and Naruto could tell that the bearded jonin just found out something amazing. Apparently Naruto was underestimating the value of that name when he would say it casually like it was the simplest thing in the world.

"Asuma-sensei are you alright?" Shikamaru asked. Asuma slowly nodded and looked at Naruto. He lit another cigarette and patted the blonde on the shoulder.

"Well I'm one of the few Fuuton users in Konoha. Since all of my team lost, I've got the free time. I guess I'll teach you some fuuton if you want," Asuma said with shrug of his shoulders. Naruto's eyes gleamed and he almost jumped off the wall, but kept all that joy inside and it made his tenant smile at his excitement.

"Yes! Finally, I found one. That's Asuma-san. I'd like that. I'm sure Karui-oneechan would like that too," Naruto told him.

"That's scary, troublesome redhead is your sister?" Shikamaru asked and Naruto glared at him. The pineapple-haired genin shrunk underneath the blonde's gaze while Naruto's eyebrows twitched violently.

"What was that Shikamaru?" Naruto asked and Shikamaru gulped before quickly averting his gaze.

"N-Nothing. Sorry about that," the genin replied. Naruto chuckled and said it didn't really matter.

"So when do I start training with you, Asuma-san?" Naruto asked and the bearded jonin took another puff of his smoke.

"How about tomorrow? I've got nothing to do then so I'll meet you at the training grounds," Asuma told him. Naruto nodded and then proceeded to walk out of the restaurant leaving three confused genin behind.

"Asuma-sensei, why are you going to train someone who isn't from our village?" Ino asked which made Shikamaru and Choji turned to Asuma for his answer. The jonin looked at his food on the grill and smirked.

"Shikamaru, you haven't seen it yet?" Asuma asked and the bored looking genin quirked up.

"Haven't seen what? You mean about Naruto?" Shikamaru asked and Asuma immediately nodded. He knew it wouldn't take Shikamaru long to realize it if the genin really thought about it so he just decided to wait it out.

"What should I know about Naruto other than the obvious? He's got blonde hair, blue eyes, he was originally from Konoha and his last name is Uzumaki-Nami-" Shikamaru widened his eyes and immediately turned his head to Asuma. The jonin nodded and Shikamaru looked absolutely stunned.

"How didn't I see that? It's so obvious. There aren't that many blondes in Konoha anyway. And the only one who matches Naruto's description is our Yondaime. Naruto's the son of the Yondaime, Minato Namikaze. But if that's the case then why is he in Kumo?" Shikamaru wondered while he tried to process the new information he just learned.

Meanwhile, Naruto was walking back to the training grounds after having gotten his own food from the ramen stand. It was nice to see Ayame and Teuchi again. Now the blonde was carrying two bowls of take-out ramen and he had a clone carry Karui's portion. The sun was already down and he knew Karui was probably hungry right about now.

"Alright I guess I'll hurry up then," Naruto said and he decided to start running while his clone tried to keep up with him. He ignored some of the villagers who were still looking at him oddly and continued to run through the village, but then he was stopped by an arm on his shoulder.

"Hey kid. Let me see your face," a civilian said and Naruto narrowed his eyes. No one just walks up to you and says that without some kind of reason.

"For what?" Naruto asked wondering if this was going to become an issue. The man gritted his teeth and pulled Naruto's face towards him. He suddenly gasped and backed away.

"I knew it. I knew I recognized that face. Those damn whisker marks on the side of your cheeks. Your that damn Kyuubi brat. Didn't you kick the bucket?" the man yelled drawing a crowd of murmurs and the usual glares from his earlier life. People started to swarm the blonde and Naruto started to back up.

"Demon, why are you back? I heard you died. You just had to come back and ruin our lives didn't you?" Another civilian stated and Naruto narrowed his eyes at them all. This place really hadn't changed at all. It was then that someone threw a bottle at Naruto's face and after they were pebbles and rocks. Naruto was nearing the limits of his patience. Somewhere in his mind, he could feel that Kyuubi was gritting her teeth and the damn civilians and she just wanted to lash out at them all.

"Well it's obvious that you people haven't changed at all, but I'd like you to stop throwing crap at me," Naruto told them. Some people seethed at him and before Naruto knew it, he saw some people holding sticks, knives and even kunai.

"Well it seems that the demon brat is still scared of us," One of them said and Naruto's hair shadowing her eyes. He smiled, then laughed. It got a rise out of some people who saw him laughing and seemed to irk them on even more.

"What's so funny?" someone yelled and Naruto put his hand up while his other was on his stomach.

"Sorry sorry. You guys just seem to forget that I'm not a part of Konoha. I'm a Kumo shinobi and if you continue to harass me like your doing right now me and my team can pass this off as an act of hostility against Kumo and we'll go to war over it. How do you think your Hokage will appreciate that?" Naruto asked and some people stalled. Granted they were civilians, but nonetheless they knew about the consequences of attacking someone from a different village and it wasn't pretty as far as consequences were concerned.

"Hehe, who's gonna believe you anyway? You've got no one who actually likes your ass," a woman uttered out and Naruto had the urge to actually do something, but thankfully someone came to help out. Seems that they couldn't wait any longer.

"Otouto why are you dealing with these people? I'm hungry so I came to tell you to hurry it up," Karui said making Naruto smile. She pushed through the crowd of people and appeared next to Naruto then patted her little brother's shoulder.

"Well I'll believe my little brother. I also think my senseis will believe me if they don't believe Naruto," Karui said with a grin. People started to sweat and grip their weapons at the two, but then others appeared.

"And we'd believe you too. Since Naruto-kun told us about his life in this village before we figured it wouldn't take long for something to happen," Yugito said walking with Omoi, Samui and Bee. They glared at the civilians and Samui ruffled Naruto's soft, spiky hair while her cold eyes pierced into the audience of civilians.

"And here I thought Konoha was more respectful that this. So not cool," Samui said to herself, but loud enough for people to hear.

"You people be messin' with da' wrong squad, but now we is gonna hurt you a lot," Bee said making people narrow their eyes at him. Naruto grinned when he saw his teammates help him out. It really made the blonde happy. The civilians cursed their luck, but then came an unnecessary comment that riled them again.

"Maybe if we silence all of you, then Hokage-sama won't know. It sounds like a good plan," One of them said and instantly everyone started to actually go on that and inch towards the group of Kumo shinobi. Karui, Omoi, Naruto, and Samui were ready for a fight and reached for their swords while Bee and Yugito took out their kunai. Some of the civilians jeered and were about to start a fight, but again someone interrupted.

"I don't think you'll want to do that. Konoha and Kumo have a good alliance going and we'd rather you not ruin it because of some prejudice," Kakashi said and behind him was Asuma and Anko. Apparently the crowd of people was large enough to warrant the jonin's attention. Now people started to back up when they saw their own shinobi looking and them and Anko took out a kunai and twirled.

"The Gaki and his group saved my life. If any of you hurt them, then I'll get Ibiki to have me torture all of you for days. If you don't want to be arrested then I suggest you back off right now, because like it or not, Hokage-sama will believe us over any one of you," Anko stated and people backed up even more.

"Well if you think you can get past three jonin from Konoha, a jonin from Kumo, and a chunin from Kumo then I'd like you to try," Kakashi said with a simple smile. Everyone seethed and gritted their teeth, but knew that they didn't stand a chance and in the end, they gave up. The people disbanded without a single word and then the entire group relaxed.

"Umm...sorry about that. It seems people remember you after all Naruto," Kakashi said with a small smile. Naruto sighed with a simple shrug of his shoulders and relaxed. He didn't want to be remembered like that or rather he didn't want to be remembered at all. It's not like he was going to come back to Konoha even if they remembered or even if they knew he was the son of the Yondaime. It didn't matter to him. His home was Kumo and he wanted it to stay that way.

"It doesn't matter I guess. I would've kicked their asses anyway, but enough of that. What are you guys doing here anyway?" Naruto asked them all. Everyone chuckled and Karui grabbed her dinner from Naruto.

"I was wondering what held you up and looked for you. I'm starving!" Karui announced and started to dive into her food. Everyone chuckled at her eating and Naruto turned to the others.

"Lollipop and I had trained so bad, and then we left to get some food we had Yeah!" Bee rapped and Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Sam with Samui and I. We finished our training for the day so we left to get something to eat. Who knew you'd get attacked already," Yugito said before turning to Kakashi.

"You know this is kind of hard to let go. We might need compensation," Yugito said as she rubbed her hands together with a giant smile across her face. Bee, Naruto, Samui, Omoi, Karui, Nibi, and Kyuubi sweatdropped.

"Oh she's that kind of woman/Ah she's that kind of woman," They all thought together and sighed. Kakashi and Asuma sighed while Anko chuckled at the chunin's attitude. Kakashi stepped forward and rubbed the back of his head with an eye smile on his face.

"Umm...anyway you could forgive us this one-,"

"No way! We demand compensation!" Yugito persisted with her usual grin and everyone sighed. This was a sad day for the Kumo genin.

"I like her," Anko said wrapping her arm around Yugito's neck. Kakashi and Asuma sighed again and wondered if all women were like this.

"Then I guess we can treat you and your team to dinner then," Asuma suggested and Yugito nodded with that. Everyone didn't seem to mind so they walked off and it was sudden, but Naruto wrote on a piece of paper and slammed it on Kakashi's back making everyone looked at him weirdly.

"Sorry, I just don't trust you to actually stick around unless I actually did this. There's just something about you that says you'll run off laughing and I wanted to avoid that," Naruto said to him and Kakashi widened his eyes and gasped. Anko and Asuma looked at their jonin comrade while everyone else shook their heads at him.

"Well Kakashi, you wouldn't leave your pals to handle all of the bill, would you?" Asuma asked strangling Kakashi with a smile on his face.

"No way, Kakashi wouldn't do that to us. Would you Kakashi?" Anko asked with a glare and a smile while she pointed a kunai at his back. What Naruto slapped on Kakashi was a chakra restriction seal so the jonin wasn't getting away from anyone.

"I wouldn't dream of it you guys," Kakashi said sheepishly and the entire group walked off towards a restaurant in full glee, forgetting the experience they all just had. Kakashi one had on thought to all of this.

One paid meal later

Kakashi, Asuma and Anko frowned as they looked at their wallets or rather what wasn't in them. They were all flat broke. That Kumo genin squad really could eat. It wasn't a pretty sight at all.

"Sigh, guess I can go on that diet now," Asuma said looking depressed. Anko sighed also and looked at her own wallet.

"No dango for at least three weeks. Life sucks right now," Anko said with a storm cloud over her. Meanwhile, Team Bee walked out of the restaurant in contempt as they rubbed their stomach. Food always was better when you didn't have to pay for it.

"Well that was good. I think I'm ready to go to bed now," Omoi said and Samui instantly agreed with him.

"Well Asuma-san, you'll help me train tomorrow right?" Naruto asked and Asuma took out another cigarette and gave it a long puff.

"Yeah Naruto, I'll train you tomorrow. I'll even help you sister with some weapons training if you want," Asuma said with a shrug of his shoulders. Karui's eyes gleamed at the chance and she instantly took Asuma up on his offer.

"Alright I get to have more training. We'll see you guys in a month," Karui said as she ran back to the hotel. Naruto chuckled and followed her back. Samui, Omoi, Yugito and Bee walked after them and gave the jonin their thanks and left the three jonin in front of the restaurant.

"Well this is rare," Anko stated making the two look at her.

"What is?" Kakashi asked and Anko turned to Asuma with the same grin across her face. Asuma raised an eyebrow at her and Anko pointed her finger at the bearded jonin.

"It's the first time Asuma has ever agreed to train someone without being forced to. Normally, people have to downright beg you to and that's when you aren't being a lazy ass all the time," Anko replied and Asuma's eyebrow twitched slightly.

"Hmph, you shouldn't talk. Besides the only reason I'm gonna train the brat is to say sorry. This is for all the times I hadn't done anything even though I know I should have," Asuma said and looked at the stone head of the Yondaime on the Hokage Mountain.

"How do you guys think he feels about this?" Asuma asked them. Kakashi gave a depressed look and Anko looked away at another direction.

"He's probably turning in his grave right now. Just think, right now Naruto should be in the chunin exams as one of our shinobi, but now he's a shinobi of Kumo. It might break his father's heart to see this village act like this," Kakashi replied. Asuma and Anko nodded, but then went their separate ways. Kakashi had to go and get Sai for training tomorrow, Asuma had to get ready to train Naruto and Karui, and Anko had to get some damn money for her dango.

Next Morning

Naruto and Karui were currently at the training grounds again and patiently waited for Asuma. They had gotten up rather early to get it started and were still a little tired.

"Where is he? I knew we should've given him a time to be here. Who knows how long we're gonna be sitting here," Karui said leaning on a tree. Meanwhile, Naruto was sitting on the grass using a small stone and scratched it on his swords to sharpen them.

"Not sure, but I think he'll be here soon. He is a jonin after all," Naruto said as he sharpened his swords some more. Karui gave a small smile and simply settled for nodding while they waited for their trainer.

3 hours later

Asuma arrived at the training ground while casually smoking his cigarette, but then he was met with a KI and then a glare from Naruto and Karui which made the jonin sweatdrop.

"Okay, their pissed. How to calm them down," Asuma thought and after a few minutes he came up to them and grinned making their scowls deepen at him. This wasn't going to be easy.

"Hey how's it going?" the jonin asked them. He was met with a dangerous glare and gulped when he saw Naruto ever so slowly sharpening her his sword with the stone. It was then that Asuma knew he was in danger. Yep, not easy at all.

"Do know how long we waited for you!" Karui yelled out and Asuma sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. He had to come up with something and fast. It wouldn't be in his good health to have these two hate him on the first day.

"Yeah umm...sorry about that. There was an emergency meeting with Hokage-sama a few hours ago. I didn't mean to keep you waiting," Asuma said to them. Naruto and Karui seemingly softened at those words and simply gave Asuma the room to breathe. The jonin sighed in relief and then got started.

"Alright then. We will start your training now. Naruto, you have the fuuton, katon, and raiton natures right?" Asuma asked. Naruto nodded that he did and then he turned to Karui.

"Meanwhile Karui-san here has katon and raiton natures? Alright we can work with this. I'm not much of a raiton expert, but tell me how many katon jutsus do you have under your belt?" Asuma asked. Naruto and Karui turned to each other.

"Do this include created jutsus?" Naruto asked. Asuma raised an eyebrow at what Naruto meant and asked the blonde to explain.

"Well back in Kumo, I've created about 6 katon jutsus for myself, but that's not all I know," Naruto said and Asuma almost dropped his cigarette. It was so rare to see a child able to create their own jutsus. That was considered a jonin level method. No genin really created any jutsus by themselves except for Kakashi when he was young and even then he was a fresh jonin before any of the others. It fact the only one with a record of even a created jutsu before chunin was Itachi Uchiha when he was a genin.

"This kid might be a genius," Asuma thought and Naruto simply watched Asuma watch him for a bit. It unsettled the blonde slightly, but now wasn't the time for that.

Asuma broke out of his stupor and then turned allowed Naruto to continue with his assessment.

"Well if it's created jutsus then I know about 9 katon jutsus currently. I'm in the process of making my other one, but it's not going so well," Naruto finished and Asuma nodded. He then turned to Karui and wanted her to start.

"I can do five katon jutsus. With my little brother's help, along with Yugito-sensei's help, I've created only one katon jutsu," Karui said and then Asuma clapped his hands together.

"Well it seems that you have a good handle on katon jutsu so that makes this easy. I guess for this month I'll train Naruto in fuuton and I'll train Karui with kenjutsu," Asuma said while Naruto and Karui all the more agreed with his plans for their training.

"You mind if I watch?" someone asked making the three shinobi turn around. Naruto's eyes gleamed and he quickly stood to his feet.

"Jiraiya-ojisan," Naruto said rushing to his godfather. The white haired sage smiled and patted Naruto on the head.

"Hey Naruto, I see you made it to the finals of the chunin exams," Jiraiya said and Naruto chuckled. He had met Jiraiya a lot over the years. It was comforting to have someone to talk about his father and mother and Jiraiya was more than willing to tell the blonde anything he wanted to know.

"That's right. I'm gonna get stronger. Then I'll surpass you Oji-san," Naruto declared which earned him a slight smack over the head from Jiraiya.

"Yeah right brat. You've never beaten me in a spar and it's not gonna happen anytime soon. I'll be lucky if you even put up a decent fight at all," Jiraiya said and Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Just you wait Jiraiya-ojisan. I'm gonna make you eat those words," Naruto said and Jiraiya merely nodded at Naruto's wishful thinking. He then turned to Asuma and walked over to the other two.

"So what's going on Asuma? I never pegged you to offer training as lazy as you are," Jiraiya said and Asuma's eyebrow twitched.

"I'd argue that, but I guess I can't. I was told that if I wasn't a Sarutobi then people would mistake me for a Nara," Asuma said dropping his head in depression. Karui and Naruto chuckled and before long everyone got back to business.

"So what are you doing?" Jiraiya asked and Asuma perked up a bit.

"I'm gonna train Naruto and Karui here. My team didn't make it to the finals so I figured I should train these two. Why are you here?" Asuma returned and Jiraiya looked around for a second.

"Just came to check up on my godson. I also overheard you talking. It's impressive that you created that many katon jutsus if any. You really are Minato and Kushina's son. I think I'll help out also. The old man has me close to Konoha since we have to fear an invasion. I heard that Orochimaru's here. It likely he's after something so I'm gonna stick around," Jiraiya said and suddenly everyone became cautious and unsettled.

"Well anyway, Naruto how's the Hiraishin coming along?" Jiraiya asked and Asuma dropped his jaw. The blonde was trying to do the Hiraishin? The technique that made his father famous? This boy wasn't normal at all.

"It's not going to will Oji-san. I can't use it properly and the I don't know how the seals are arranged to make it work. I think I had it half-right when I was able to teleport at least to the Raikage Mansion, but it only worked once after that. I still think the mechanics for doing it are wrong so I'm hoping to work on that for the month also," Naruto said and Jiraiya nodded. He knew it would be tough for Naruto to do the Hiraishin. Even he had trouble just understanding it. Maybe now would be the time to help Naruto follow in his family's footsteps and learn some good fuinjutsu. He could also help Karui train with some weights he had.

"Alright then I'll help out too. Naruto, you might find the answer if I help you with the knowledge of fuinjutsu," Jiraiya told him. Naruto raised an eyebrow and at that and wondered what he meant, but Asuma huffed.

"You really think Naruto can learn Fuinjutsu? There are only a handful of fuinjutsu users in the world and aside form you, Jiraiya-sama, they aren't very good as far as I know," Asuma said and Jiraiya nodded.

"That's why I'm going to help Naruto. He already has a grasp on fuinjutsu, but my being the move all the time I could never really critic his work, but now we'll be able to iron out the details. We should alternate between Karui and Naruto on the days. Maybe in the last week we'll do a collaboration for the two," Jiraiya suggested.

"Yeah that sounds good to me. It's been than having to supervise both by myself," Asuma said and Jiraiya nodded. If this all went well then it would be very beneficial to Naruto and Karui for their training.

"Alright you two it's time to begin your training. When we're done with you, your gonna hate us for what we did to you," Jiraiya stated. Naruto eyes beamed and so did Karui's. Training, now was the time for training. To become a chunin it wasn't the time to complain, but to train. They would win and they would shock the audience. Especially Naruto, he was going to leave everyone in awe with what he had planned.

"Just try us Oji-san. We'll show you we're not just your average genin pushovers. When WE'RE done with YOU you'll be left in shock at what we can do. Just you wait we'll show you what we can do," Karui and Naruto said at the same time. Jiraiya and Asuma raised their eyebrows at their students and only had one thought.

"These chunin exams are gonna be real interesting,"
