Naruto has become Lloyd's student fighting with two swords I mean it's pretty obvious when you read the chapter title. Now I will add the next pairings poll at the end of this chapter now on with the chapter.
Naruto and Lloyd were walking the streets of the village they were on their way to a weapons shop since Lloyd has taken Naruto under his wing as his student and teach him his fighting style, as for Naruto he was happy he knew he was going to become stronger with Lloyd helping he has already seen him in action when he fought Tenten and he was very impressed with his skills. He couldn't be any luckier first he has trained under one of the legendary sanins and now he was going to be having sword training under Lloyd, it's true that his training with Jiraiya help him get strong but he knew it wasn't enough to take on Akatsuki and Orochimaru he was going to need all the strength he could get in order to protect the village himself and rescue Sasuke from the snake's sanins clutches so he can finally fulfill his promise to Sakura. Lloyd saw a weapons shop named Dragon's den he smile the name was cool for a weapons shop, he told Naruto about the shop and they went inside opening the door to hear a small bell chinning. They were very impressed by the scenery of the shop they were surrounded by weapons everywhere they look there were all kinds of weapons, from lances swords axes bows arrows crossbows kunais shurikens and much more.
That's when he notice Tenten in the counter of the cash register looks like she works in the shop, but his eyes lock on her clothes she wasn't wearing her usual combat chunin outfit she was wearing a yellow Chinese sleeveless shirt with white shorts and brown sandals. Lloyd felt himself blush at her look the shorts made her look nice and sexy; her long legs were very nice she really had nice curves for her age, he got lost thinking of how cute she look not knowing why he was thinking like this before he was snap out of his daze by Naruto. Tenten then notice the visitors and smile as soon as she saw Lloyd in the shop, the two teens went to the cash register while the teen was staring at Lloyd still smiling.
"Lloyd Naruto welcome to the dragons den"
"What Tenten you work here" Naruto said dumbfounded.
"Yeah my father owns the shop I help him with the shop when I'm not on missions"
"Oh so you work on a weapons shop you know Tenten when I saw you in our match with all that weaponry I thought you actually work in a restaurant" Lloyd said with a smirk.
Tenten giggle noticing the sarcastic tone in his voice" I guess it's pretty obvious that my father owns a weapon shop it answers the question how did I got all my weapons it will took me forever to collect all the weapons I have I would be broke, this is exactly why I like working in a weapons shop so anyway what can I do for you?"
"Well Naruto ask me to teach him how to fight with two swords and I accepted to have him as my student but I can't teach him if he doesn't have a pair of swords, so do you think you have two powerful swords on sale?"
Tenten was really surprise to hear this looking at the two teens she knew that Naruto wanted to become stronger so he could save his teammate Sasuke, and now he ask Lloyd to teach him to with double swords. At first she thought that Naruto couldn't master twin swords the training was harder than ninja training, maybe she was underestimating the blond he has proven to be a strong ninja before she was still unsure if she could help him in his quest to get stronger. Then she saw the look Lloyd was giving her he was smiling at her with a smile that it was irresistible, he look so cute and for some reason her cheeks started heating up his smile made her heart skip beats till no end she couldn't understand why she felt like this thought.
She sighed looking at the two teens Naruto was giving her the look that said I want two swords like a little boy begging for a Christmas gift" this is the best weapons shop in all of the five countries you will only find the best weapons we also forge the best weapons"
"We know that Tenten do you have a pair of swords for me?" Naruto said eager.
"Naruto…..you see we don't have twin swords but we do have a pair of double swords on sale that might help you in your training it's just that well they are quite expensive I don't think you have the money to buy them"
Naruto hang his head down looks like his training will have to wait after all" oh….can you give me a discount?"
She frown at his comment" we don't give weapons discount it's against our policy"
"Come on Tenten please do it for me your friend I really need the training can you at least borrow them to me until I finish the training?"
"Naruto this swords are not just your average swords they are very expensive they are one of the strongest dual swords in the five countries I just can't borrow them to you not to mention that they are quite old"
He sighed" great there goes my training I'm sorry Lloyd" he looked at the twin swordsman who was quiet but he gave Tenten a determined look it seems he had something up his sleeves.
Without think he hold one of her hands catching her off guard earning a small blush on her cheeks" please Tenten Naruto needs this training I can tell that he wants to protect everyone in the village let him have the swords I promised you I will find a way to pay you for the swords"
Tenten ignore the fact that he was holding her hand ignoring thoughts that were coming to her head" Lloyd you don't have the money to pay for it remember we pay with ryou not gald"
"I know but I promised I will earn the money and pay you little by little it might take me a while but I won't rest until I pay you all of the money so what do you say?"
Tenten stood quiet as she kept gazing into those chocolate eyes making her get lost in them, her eyes move to her hand he was still holding her hand, somehow she didn't minded his hand was nice and soft making the small shade of red in her cheeks to increase in size. She needed to calm down looking back at the twin swordsman who was waiting for her answer along with Naruto, if she didn't say something she was going to go crazy feeling the warm of his hand holding her own.
(Does he even know what he's doing?) she thought embarrassed she finally clear her throat facing the two anxious teens" I guess…..I can lend them to Naruto at least until the training is over"
ALL RIGHT" cheer the blond" thanks Tenten you're the best"
She then grab Naruto by his collar giving him a very scary glare" but you better take good care of them because if you don't….I'll have your head on a silver platter are we clear?"
Naruto immediately nodded in fear not wanting to look at the scary glare of the weapons mistress" crystal clear I will take care of them I promise I will guard them with my life you have my word Tenten"
"Thanks Tenten I really appreciate it" Lloyd said with a smile he then removed his hand from her hold on her hand.
For some reason Tenten felt hurt at the loss of contact she nodded" no problem I'm glad I was able to help I'll be back with the swords" she then left the counter, a couple of minutes later she return with a pair of long katanas with the hilt colored silver with black dots designs" like I told you guys these swords are very special they are called the dragon's claw and tiger's fang(AN the swords from NinjaGaiden) they are legendary only the best swordsman could only master them so don't disappoint me Naruto"
"Don't worry I will master them with help from Lloyd"
"That's right I will teach you everything I know"
"Here you go remember Naruto I'm only borrowing them to you don't get any ideas that they are yours truly and Lloyd I'm expecting that you will keep your promise in paying me with ryou not gald" her gaze hardened at the twin swordsman.
"Don't worry I will pay you every ryou until I have paid off for the swords well let's go Naruto"
The blond nodded happy while holding the two katanas" thanks again Tenten" soon they left the shop.
Tenten sighed regret filling her (I can't believe I did that what was I thinking giving away those swords they are priceless I can't tell my father if he finds out that I gave away the dragon's claw and tiger's fang FREE he will kill me, I have to make sure that he doesn't notice that they are missing I got it I'll tell him I'll lock them in the storage room yeah he will believe me, after all those swords are so expensive that no one will buy them I just hope Naruto finish his training and fast)
Seeing that there was no customer in the shop she pick a broom and started sweeping the floor trying not think about the whole situation, but she failed miserably she got the image of Naruto holding the two powerful katanas and accidentally they fell to a cliff she gulp trying not to freak out. She then got another image of Naruto breaking the swords she turn pale, without realizing it she got an image of her father glaring at her because he found out that she gave away the priceless swords. She erased that horrible thought while trying to calm down she suddenly started thinking about Lloyd, she smile remembering when he was holding her hand it felt nice and she actually like it she still didn't know why she didn't minded. She knew how strong Lloyd is and if there was once person who could help Naruto in the training it was him, not wanting to think about the consequences if the blond didn't return her the swords.
(I just hope Naruto finish the training soon but then again this is Naruto were talking about here it could take him weeks or even months I don't want to die, maybe I should keep an eye on their training just to make sure Naruto takes care of the swords, I also got a bonus I get to see Lloyd hey wait a minute why am I thinking like that I need a break)
Naruto and Lloyd were walking while the blond was gazing lovingly at his new weapons they were now heading to the training field to begin his training, he had a strong feeling that the training will make him strong after all he had Lloyd helping him and he was no amateur remembering his match with Tenten. Of course he knew that the swords weren't his yet and he wanted to have the swords to be his permanent weapon, he gaze at the twin swordsman.
"So Lloyd what are you going to do about the swords?"
"I promise Tenten I was going to pay for them no matter what so that's what I'm going to do" he reply coolly.
"But how you don't have any money and the money from your world won't help you"
"I guess I will have to find a job until I can pay Tenten back"
"Lloyd I'm sorry about that don't worry I will help you with the money the money I earn in the missions I will give it to you so you can pay Tenten"
"Really you mean that thanks Naruto that will help me a lot"
"Hey you already help me giving me these cool swords I just hope I can master them well"
"Don't worry when I'm done with you, you will be the best twin swordsman ever….next to me of course"
Naruto smirk" maybe I will become stronger than you"
"Don't count on it you still have ways to go before you can beat me in battle" Lloyd smirk back.
"Maybe I will beat you I am going to be trained by the best"
He smile at his comment" thanks Naruto but I don't consider myself the best there's someone else strong who help me to fight and he protected me in secrecy I know he has suffered a lot that's why I'm proud to have him as my comrade teacher and……" he pause thinking about his real father Kratos.
"There's someone stronger than you then he must be the real deal who is he?"
"He's someone special let's keep it like that come on I want to start with the training already"
Naruto wanted to know who was the person he was talking about but it look like the topic was delicate to Lloyd so he didn't said another word, he followed him heading to the training ground holding the pair of swords looking forward for the training.
Konoha hospital
Colete decided to tag along with Sakura while she's on her shift in the hospital, she didn't mind the blond was being helpful taking the roll of her assistant she watched as she started healing the people's injuries seeing the same green glow that she used to heal Naruto's burn back at the bbq restaurant. Just seeing her healing all their injuries reminded her of Raine's healing arts but at the same time it was different, she remember what they talk about with the group at the restaurant is Mana and chakra really related. After what she heard what it was chakra it was the same characteristics as Mana, maybe the world of Symphonia and this world had something in common. As she followed her out of one of the rooms she thought what she talk back at her house about a perfect world, seeing the injure people made her believe that this world was no different than Symphonia people will get hurt and eventually they die. There was no such thing as a perfect world even if she failed as the chosen of regeneration she still believe that there was world where everyone can live in peace, she gaze at Sakura while walking the halls of the hospital.
(I wonder if Sakura can learn healing arts like the professor) she thought while gazing at the medic ninja" Sakura you're very good at healing people"
Sakura look at her with a smile" I know I was taught by the best Tsunade-sama is the best medic ninja in the village"
"Oh so the Hokage was the one who taught you she's your teacher"
"Yup she taught me everything she knows I trained with her for three years of course the training was not easy" she shivers remembering the painful training she had to endure" but I manage to pull through"
"Your skills with healing arts are very impressive" she then gasp at what she said earning a puzzle look from the pink hair kunoichi.
"Healing arts is that what you call medical ninjutsu in your land?"
She giggle nervously" um….yeah that's what we call them but the healing arts in our land are more advance the professor is an expert in healing arts"
"Professor who's that?"
Colete thought that as long as she didn't told her anything from Symphonia it was all right to tell her a few things like her friends" that's what Lloyd and I call her because she was the one who taught us about the world about Mana and healing arts she was our teacher in school"
"So that's why you call her professor she must be good in healing arts"
"Yeah she's the best her healing arts are advance like healing circle and revitalize and there's also resurrection she can bring one back to life"
Hearing this Sakura's became interested" really a jutsu to bring back to life well I have read about forbidden jutsus that can bring people from the dead but it requires to sacrifice a living human for the jutsu to work that's why it's considered to be forbidden"
"What sacrifice a living human no…..the healing art of resurrection doesn't require any living sacrifice the professor performs the spell and the person is brought back to life"
Now she was more interested" are you sure Colete I haven't read a jutsu with the kind of capacity if there is one I will like to learn it do you think you can teach me that?"
Colete's eyes widened" what you want me to teach you resurrection but I can't do that spell only the professor can cast it"
"Can you find her so she can teach me?"
"I don't think it's possible she's very back in our home land I'm sorry Sakura"
"Oh its okay maybe someday I might get to learn it"
Colete smile (I don't know about that half elves and elves are the ones who can master magic better than humans)
Suddenly a nurse came to them" Sakura-san we need you there's this woman who's hurt in room 110"
"Right I'll be right there Colete can you bring some bandages"
"Leave it to me" she then started walking but she trip on her face making the Sakura and the nurse sweat dropped.
(It's a clumsy world for Colete I already have enough with Naruto)
At the training field
Naruto and Lloyd started their training they were currently having a friendly spar with their swords, of course poor Naruto could barely keep up with Lloyd for starters he didn't know how to hold the swords or what kind of stance he needed to be. Pretty much Lloyd first day as teacher has fail Lloyd charge with a strike while Naruto try to block it he counter but his aim was off, Lloyd dodge it and use another swing but the blond jump back evading it. Lloyd quickly charge again with his swords, Naruto was ready to evade them but he trip along with Lloyd and his material blade almost pierce through his chest Naruto freak out glaring at him.
"WHAT THE HELL LLOYD ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME"
The twin swordsman scratch the back of his head" sorry sorry I'm really sorry but this is the first time I'm actually teaching someone to fight I didn't know it was this complicated"
"I should it know"
The two saw Tenten wearing her chunin outfit jumping from a tree she went to the two with a smirk on her face" Lloyd I had a feeling that you were going to say that"
"Tenten why are you here?" Lloyd said.
"You need someone to help you with the training I don't want to see you two killing each other in the process"
"Yeah I agree with you" Lloyd said knowing she was right.
"You're going to help us Tenten" Naruto said.
"Yup you guys need help when I fought Lloyd I notice that all of your attack patterns are randomlyso it will be easier for me to coordinate those patterns to you Naruto in doing so you will learn Lloyd's fighting style in no time"
"All right Tenten you're awesome then let's get started"
She nodded while looking back at Lloyd" you might as well join us too you're his teacher" she gave a slight smirk.
Lloyd nodded and they began their lesson Tenten took her scroll in a cloud of smoke her double swords appear she guide them with the stance and the moves needed to fight with two swords, the two teens had no difficulty adapting to the moves. Lloyd was very impressed at Tenten she has manage to memorize all of his moves just by watching him when they had their sparring match, they were going at it nonstop for hours once she notice that they have learn the moves she stood watching them like a mother watching her two sons play together. Lloyd and Naruto started clashing their swords at fast speed while the blond was still getting used to the custom of fighting with two swords, after a couple of minutes of seeing his performance Lloyd decided to teach him his techniques. He started by teaching him his basics techniques demon fang sonic thrust sword rain and tiger blade, Naruto had trouble learning them he look like he was reaching his limit. Lloyd stood watching him trying to learn the techniques but he still couldn't learn them, he smile looks like he wasn't the only stubborn mule on the block.
"Damn it I can't do it it's too hard" he pant as his face was cover in sweat.
"Naruto it's all right I'm not expecting you to learn them in one day"
Naruto grin" maybe I can"
Lloyd didn't know what he was talking about until he saw him making a hand seal forming a cross.
"MASS SHADOW CLONE JUTSU"
Lloyd's eyes widened in shock seeing that there were now over a hundred Naruto's they all had the twin swords he has never seen anything like it, the Naruto clone army raise their swords ready to fight.
(Whoa that's a lot of Naruto's) Lloyd thought.
"It's time to fight" a Naruto clone said.
"Don't hold back"
"Heh I won't"
Lloyd started watching as the clone army started fighting each other practicing what Lloyd taught him, pretty soon he saw that one of the clones learn demon fang, another learn sonic thrust while another learn sword rain follow by another learning tiger blade. He couldn't believe it it's like Naruto was learning more experience because of the clones looks like it wasn't going to be long before he learns it after all it's not so hard to learn it but it takes time to master it. Tenten watch as Naruto was learning to fight like Lloyd in no time looks like her job was done, taking one last glance at Lloyd she left the training field.
(I wonder what he likes in a girl…..hey wait a minute why did I say that)
Two hours later all of the Naruto clones were defeated and the real Naruto was panting, Lloyd went to him feeling proud of him not bad for his first time as a teacher of course he did it with help from Tenten he needed to thank her for it but he notice she long gone he made a mental note to thank her when he sees her again.
"Not bad Naruto you're learning fast faster than I thought keep it up and you will become a master"
"Thanks it's all thanks to my shadow clones you see everything they learn and see goes right back to me so my training get easier I gain more experience than the regular ninja"
(So that's it if that's true then he will learn in days) he thought with a smile he notice that it was dark already" come on Naruto I think we should head back"
Naruto's stomach growl" yeah I'm hungry let's go to Ichiraku's"
"Yeah I'm hungry myself too let's go"
The two left the training field while Lloyd taught of the one person who help him become strong and perfect his skills a formal angel of Cruxis and the man who brought him to this world.
(Dad I hope you're all right I missed you)
Somewhere in Teathealla territory
In a dark chamber a mysterious figure appear it was too dark to see his face but his eyes were glowing blood red, his left hand started glowing dark releasing a ray making a figure appear. The figure the appeared was not human he was wearing a dark armor and he was a skeleton riding with blue horns on his head on a velocidragon, the skeleton knight got off from his creature and knelt before the dark figure.
"What is it my master?"
"Hell knight I require your services it's time to make our move" the figure said in a dark tone.
"So the time has come what is it that you desire?"
"Find the human that possess that eternal sword and bring him to me"
"As you wish master" with that the hell knight vanished from the chamber.
"Nothing or no one will stand in my way from my goal"
