Ch. 3 Training with Shikamaru
"Naruto?" Shikamaru asks as he walks into training ground 20, yesterday he couldn't find the blonde, he cursed Ino and her mouth for the rest of the day and it carried onto todays training, everytime Ino opened her mouth Shikamaru cursed her into silence, they had to cancel the days training mid morning because of it.
"Shikamaru, give me a a bit, i'll be their in a few." Shikamaru jumped at Narutos voice, he'd forgotten about the seal! Damnit he could have just contacted Naruto directly instead of having to look everywhere for him! Troublesome!
"Where are you at, Naruto?" Shikamau says laying down and looking at the clouds, relaxing, from his tense day.
"Im sparing with my Sword-sensei, you know the one whos teaching me to use my giant sword?"
"Yeah I know the one, how's it going?" Shikamaru asked yawning, and stretching his arms.
"Not well, Sword-sensei is handing me my ass on a silver and gold plater" Naruto left out that Itachi was pissed at Kisame, for the kiss the shark-man gave him, when he showed up.
Kinda FlashBack
Kisame walked up to him when he poofed next to Itachi, leaned down to him and kissed him full on the lips, then ran as fast as he could, as far way as he could manage.
He didn't get far...
Itachi calt him after a few seconds and beat him black, purple and he threw in some red.
It was safe to say Naruto didn't get his training until he healed the Shark-man, Naruto did it painfully until he got his answers...
Then he and Itachi visited Kurama...
It wasn't a nice visit...
End Kinda Flashback
Shikamaru waited a few moment then a poof came from his side and looked over only to be shocked at a tired Naruto falling back with his sword, when the blonde hit the ground he sighed and relaxed.
"Hey Shikamaru, can I take a nap before we begin, I need to recharge" at the shadow users dumnfounded nod, the blonde shut his eyes and was off to dreamland to rest.
Shikamaru looked the tired blonde over, he was dressed the same as the day before, his mask was up, Shikamaru chuckled at the light snoring the blonde made, he laid down next to Naruto and decided to take a nap with his crush.
Two hours later, Shikamaru woke up to Narutos masked face, 'Not a bad way to wake up' he thought and sat up, grumbling out a sleepy troublesome, and rubbed his eyes.
"Come on, let's get going to my island, for todays training" Naruto grabbed the other boys waist and pulled him to himself so they were flush.
"N-Naruto wha?" the now fully awake Shikamaru stuttered.
Naruto takes the shadow users hand and place it on his shoulder, "Hold on tight or you'll get lost" Naruto then activated his 'Kitsune Transport' seal, poofing him and Shikamaru away.
Shikamaru stumbled and fell when they landed.
"Shikamaru take some deep breathes, it's usually is a bit disorianting the first time" Shikamaru takes the blondes advice and takes a few deep breathes, then opens his eyes, they weren't in training ground 20 anymore.
"Shikamaru welcome to Uzushio, the most secure island in all the Elemental nations" Naruto said while he secured his sword to his back, via chakra.
"How did we get here? and why are we here?" Shikamaru asked looking around the room, their was a large desk and a few full bookshelves, he even looked out the windows some, and he could tell they were in a tall building.
"Were here for your training Shikamaru, as a for how, look behind us" Shikamaru turns around and sees a wooden fox statcue, "I created a seal, that allows me to transport myself to the place of the seal, no matter were it is." Naruto explained, turning around he walks to the door, over his shoulder he says, "You might want to keep up, Shikamaru" then walks out the door with the shadow user right behind him.
They walked out of the room and down a few stairs past many doors and archways until they were on the first floor, there was a large wooden double door, Naruto walked to it and threw them open.
Shikamarus POV
When the door opened Shikamaru, expected ruins, not a thriving small comunity, everyone turned to them and smiled at Naruto, waving and saying welcome back.
"Naruto-sama, Welcome back" Shikamaru heard and turned, their stood Hiashi Hyuuga, or so he thought until he introduced himself.
"Hello young Nara, my name is Hizashi Hyuuga, pleased to meet you" The Hyuuga smiled with gental eyes.
"Hizashi? But if that's true..."
"Yeah the villege thinks he's dead, he was suppose to be, but Kumo saved him and kept him in stasis, until I found him, and brought him here away from Kumo and Konoha" Naruto says before turning to Hizashi.
"Where is Kimimaru and Juugo? I want to cheak and see if Kimimaru is all better and see if I can get Juujo to train with us today" Naruto asks.
"You don't have to explain yourself to me Naruto-sama," Hizashi activates his Byakugan and points in a random direction "They are in the training grounds already, I will escourt you to the training ground" Hizashi says and walks next but alittle behind Naruto, Shikamaru walks next to Naruto while looking at the people around him.
They held a gental look on their face when they spot his crush, it was the opposite to the hidden leaf villege, who look at him like he's a criminal, then he remembers their chat from yesterday, and scowls.
Narutos POV
They walk to the training ground with Hizashi as their guide and escourt, Hizashi was probably hoping to spar again, Naruto would love too if the man asked, Naruto knows he will, just abit after the introduction to Shikamaru, he just knew it!
They heard crashing sounds, and he knew Juugo and Kimimaru were going at it.
Naruto ran the rest of the way, and was right, they were fighting bloodline to bloodline, Juugo was in his half tiger, half human form his claws were out facing Kimimaru who was welding two bone swords.
Shikamaru gasped at the sight, Naruto chuckled at his friends shock.
"Kimimaru!, Juugo!, Look whos here for training!" Hizashi spoke getting the two to stop their spar and look over, their eye hown in on Narutos smiling form.
Then they were just there, nealing infront of Naruto.
"Naruto-sama, Welcome back!" Naruto sighed.
"Cut the Sama crap you three, the jokes long over" Naruto says as they rise and Juugo changes back into his human form, orange hair and all, bird fly out of the surrounding trees and land on the blonde and orange haired boys, they were chirping a greeting, before settling themselves on to their shoulders and Narutos blade, the blue bird on Naruto shoulder waves a wing at Shikamaru, much to the shadow users amusment.
"But Naruto-sama, we insist, you are our leader after all" Hizashi said his eyes dancing with amusment.
Naruto huffed at him then turned to Shikamaru and pointed to the entirly white man "Shikamaru this is Kimimaru and this" he pointed to the other boy, "Is Juugo, their my friends and self appointed bodyguards, they acompany me when I leave the villege for my training... well the did before I became a ninja, then I started to take missions and they couldn't anymore."
"Yeah but if you just let us join the leaf we could take missions with you" Kimimaru tried.
Naruto shook his head, "If you come the others will want to, and I already told you what would happen if that happend."
Kimimaru and Juugo sighed "Yeah, their will be blood and attemps to make us into breeding stock" Kimimaru said.
Juugo shivered "I don't want that to happen, It sounds bad" Juugo said listening to his bird friends sing.
Narutos eyes softened "Don't worry, It might not take long for it to be safe to enter the hidden leaf soon" Naruto watched the three stand up straiter, Hizashi deflated after a minute.
Naruto frowneds, "Hizashi how about a spar after I set Shikamaru up with some exercises?"
"That would be apreshiated Naru-kit thank you" Hizashi walks into the training ground and starts to stretch.
Naruto turns to the shadow user, "Sorry Shikamaru, it looks like i'll have to join you later, what have you already been taught by Asuma-sensei?"
Shikamaru tells him everything his sensei taught him and his team, Naruto frowned then sighed, "It looks like both of our senseis are lazyasses, Okay first remove your shirt Im going to put a Resistance seal on you."
Shikamaru does what is asked of him and watches his crush pull out a brush and ink, "What does this seal do exactly?" Shikamaru asked trying not to laugh.
"It helps with your speed and strengh, the first level makes you feel like your walking through water, the second through dirt, and so on every level is harder," Naruto finishes with his stomic then moves to his inner wrist, and painting a small stylised triangle with a 0 in the middle of it.
Naruto finished drawing the seal and made a few hand seals the seals wavered a bit before settling, Shikamaru thought they looked like tattoos.
"There all I have to do now is activate them" Naruto touches the triangle and pumped a bit of chakra into it, the 0 wavered a bit then morphed into a 1, he felt weird and tried to walk, Naruto was right, it was like walking through water, "You can put your shirt on now Shikamaru."
The shadow user nodded and put his shirt on slowly, he liked taking it slow but this was too slow. Naruto told him the cheat, all he had to do was channel chakra into his body then decrese the amount as he gets use to it, easy.
"Okay Shikamaru, for your assinment I want you to tree walk until I finish my spar with Hizashi, if you get tired rest for five minutes, then start again, I want your chakra levels to rise so you wont get so tired after just a few jutsu, Im going to leave a clone to get you started" Naruto creates a Shadow clone, then leaves to begin his spar, from the sounds of it they're not holding back.
Shikamaru decided to focus on his own excersises and ignore everthing else.
7 hours later, Shikamaru was tired, he didn't think Naruto was such a slave driver, apparently he was wrong, he was laying on the ground breathing deeply.
"Maybe I pushed you to hard Shikamaru, don't worry it gets better" Naruto sat on his legs next to the tired ninja, and used his 'Medic Technique: Healers Hand' and helps slow the shadow users breathing and heart, then forcfully cooling his heated body.
"I don't know what you did, but thanks" Shikamaru said before he passed out.
Naruto blinks then chuckled, he heals Shikamarus muscles and achs, then picks him up "Hizashi, Juugo, Kimimaru, im heading back to the hidden leaf villege."
"Can't you stay the night Naruto-sama?" Juugo asked saddened
"Juugo im coming back here tomarrow, hopefully with Shikamaru again," Juugo perks up, "I have to take Shikamaru back to his home, im glad we gave him a large lunch." Naruto waves at the three then poofs back to training ground 20.
Naruto seals his sword away then starts to carry the shadow user home, when he got there he was nearly attacked by, who he thought to be his friends mother, Naruto blinks as the womens face goes from worried anger to confusion to pure worry.
"Don't worry Nara-san, he's just tired, I suggest letting him sleep it off and having a large breakfest ready for him, he's going to be hungry in the morning." Naruto follows Shikamarus mother to the other teens room and places him in his bed, he let the other teens mother deal with cleaning his up and changing him into his bed cloths.
Naruto walks to the door "Nara-san let Shikamaru rest in the morning, i'll send his team a message about his tartiness, okay?" the Nara women nodded and got to getting her child undressed and into something clean.
"Good Night Nara-san" Naruto poofs away to go eat some ramen and study a scroll before going to sleep.
Shikamaru didn't know why but he was awake and felt good like he could run forever, he then remembered yesterday, he and Naruto trained together in chakra control, it was tedious but he was already feeling the results, his chakra control was better, and he didn't have to use as much chakra to be able to move the same.
Shikamaru got up when his stomic gave a harsh growl, and noticed he was home and in his pjs, the sun was up high so he was sleeping for awhile, why hadn't his mother come up and bother him into getting up earlier?
Shikamaru shrugged and got dressed, he slowly walked down the stairs, but quickend when he smelt the food, he was hungry.
His mother was happy he was eating so much, his father was surprised yet happy as well.
When asked how he got home, his mother was happy to say he was carried in by a masked blonde, 'Naruto' Shikamaru smiled, then frowned when his mother started to ask questions.
Shikamaru dodge the questions, as best he could but ended up giving his mother the name Naruto used when confronted with his team, Arashi Mamoru, he didn't think it would cause any trouble.
He slowly makes his way to his teams training ground, and saw his team doing their regular drills, he wanted to glare at Ino but he felt to good to do it.
"So you finally join us huh?" Asuma asked when he noticed his third student.
"Yeah Shikamaru you usually are not this late" Chouji says eating a chip.
"YEAH SHIKAMARU YOUR LATE!" Ino yelled but then quieted when the shadow user glared at her.
"Im late because I had the hardest training ever yesterday, and slep in, not even my mom woke me up" Shikamru explained, which earned him a few looks of disbelief.
"You went to train after yesterdays session with us?" Asuma asked, after a moment he remembered the long hair blonde, and choked "You went to train with that Arashi kid?"
Shikamaru raises an eyebrow then nods "Yeah, he's a slave driver too, I didn't think it would be so hard" Shikamaru groans at the memory.
"How hard could it have been?" Chouji asks.
Shikamaru lifts his sleeve to show part of the resistance, it was set on 1, The first thing he did was put a resistance seal on me he was suppost to show me how to deactive it last night but I past out from the training" Shikamaru said then lowered his sleeve.
"Resistance seal?" Asuma asks, Shikamaru nodded.
"It's to help train my speed and strengh, while I work on other things, like my chakra control and enlarging my chakra stores," Shikamaru said taking a seat under a nearby tree, and laying down.
Soon he was getting yelled at by Ino for laying down until he sent another glare at the girl which reminded her she wasn't really liked at the momment and she huffed turning around and ignoring the shadow user.
His Sensei and friend continue to ask questions until it was time to stop training, Ino left quickly while Asuma and Chouji asked if they could meet Naruto again.
Shikamaru didn't know he vagly remember Naruto saying Chouji could but what about Asuma?
Luckly this time he remembered the seal on his forehead..
