The Village Hidden in the Leaves, regarded as the strongest among the Five Great Nations. It was a beacon of greatness and if you asked anyone in the village they would tell you that it was perfect.

That, however, was a lie. There were many imperfections within the great walls that protected the village: abuse of a young child, the corruption that was rooted within the village's council, and the Red Light District.

Many avoided these things as much as possible for many reasons. Many council members thought they were gods walking among mortals. If you even looked at them wrong, they would have you arrested. These same people often embezzled from the funds that go to helping the Red Light District.

People avoided that district because its reputation of being run down and its occupants questionable career choices. They were often visited by the council members that were looking for some action but not from their wives at homes and if the money is good who are the girls to reject such an offer.

Many of the sick and poor lived in the Red Light. They simply lack the funding to move away from the poverty or get decent medical attention. For a village that boasts the greatest medical staff, they are certainly selective of who they treat with their great medical skills.

That is not the case hence the reason Naruto is in front of a bed with a small family behind of him and a elderly man in the bed.

It had been a few weeks since the Wave mission. He had constantly had clones reading up on medical books and various medical ailments so he could help people. He had kept reading the journals he found in the vault but had yet to put most of it in practice.

His clones did that while he had met a couple of interesting charachters.

-Flashback-

Naruto was up early in the morning around five. He needed to work on his stamina to truly use his Devil Fruits. He had set up a regime where he would run a couple laps around the village wall and doing some extreme physical workouts.

He was stretching in front of the village gate before he was almost knocked over by a green blur. He hooped back before the blur could hit him and he looked at it as it went past him, "What the hell was that?"

He was interrupted from his musings when another smaller green blur came whizzing at him. He could actually catch a glimpse of this person and was frightened by what he saw. A young man with fair skin and large eyes. What stuck out about him was his huge eyebrows and tragic hairdo, the dreadful bowlcut.

He was so distracted that he didn't move and he bou ran into him and they both were knocked over. They both groaned but the boy in green hopped up enthusiastically.

"I am sorry. My youthfulness overcame me and I wasn't watching where I was going. Please forgive me." He declared loudly, which made Naruto wonder who was that loud this early in the morning. He held out a hand to help Naruto up.

"What are you doing out here?" Naruto asked as he accepted the extended hand.

"I am doing some light training with my sensei." He said loudly again. 'Hm must be nice to actually train with your sensei.' Naruto thought as he shook his head at the disappointment that was Kakashi Hatake.

He looked up see the other green blur barreling towards them. It started to slow down until it came to a stop by both of the boys. Naruto's eyes widened at what he saw. It was a clone of the boy except he was older and had a Leaf jounin vest.

They both wore green jumpsuits with their red Leaf headbands around their waist like belts. They both wore orange leg warmers around their calves and ninja sandals. They looked like they could be father and son.

"Lee, my youthful student, why did you stop running?!" The man said louder than the boy.

"Guy-sensei! I ran into this young man here and I had to apologize for my mistake."

The now named Guy looked over and saw the blonde container. Naruto expected a glare or some harsh words but was surprised when he saw the man smile. It was so bright it almost blinded him.

"Yosh! Another young ninja flourishing with the Power of Youth! Hello, I am the Green Beast of Konoha, Maito Guy!" He introduced himself with the nice guy pose.

"Yosh, I am one of his student, Rock Lee." He finished with the exact same pose.

Naruto sweatdropped, "So Lee told me you guys are training. What are you training for exactly?"

"The upcoming Chunin Exams. We have to be in top shape if we want to be promoted!"

"Yes. I believe that you, Neji, and Tenten can do it. You are my youthful students after all."

"Guy-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Guy-senei!"

"Lee!"

Naruto watched their strange interaction and regretted it as he saw the most horrific thing in his short life: The Sunset on a Beach Man Hug Genjutsu.

He tried to break the genjutsu but he couldn't and looking away didn't help as he couldn't. This was torture to the highest degree.

Soon, they stopped hugging and turned towards Naruto. He was knocked out of his stupor when he felt someone slap his back.

"Huh, what?"

"I asked you what were you doing this out this early?" Guy said.

"Oh I wanted to train my strength and stamina so I was going to run around the village wall a couple times."

Guy went silent then suddenly started to shake. Naruto thought he had said something wrong but was caught off guard when Guy yelled, "Yosh! We have found someone who rivals your Flames of Youth, Lee!"

"Yosh! You shall be my eternal rival. I will prove my Flames of Youth are stronger than yours. If I can not do it then I will do 500 laps around the village. If I can not do that then I will do 5000 pushups with a boulder on my back. If I ca-"

"Can I train with you guys?" Naruto asked cutting off the energetic Lee. Guy quirked his bushy brow. "Why would you want to train with us? Don't you have team training?"

Naruto scoffed and crossed his arms, "If you can even call it that, Kakashi leaves Sakura and I to do team building exercises and goes trains Sasuke one on one. He's always late and sometimes doesn't even come to our training."

Guy frowned, "How un-youthful of my eternal rival."

He looked back to Naruto, "I'm sorry but I can't train you in any of my fighting styles but I could allow you to train with me and Lee for our warmups."

Naruto looked disappointed but perked up at the end of it, "So what does your warmups entail? Could you help me with ninjutsu?"

"I'm sorry but I can't even teach you ninjutsu. I was lackluster in the academy with it and focused on taijutsu. While I can perform some and have knowledge on a few, it is not my forte. It's more Kakashi's thing. As for for warmups, we do 20 laps around the village then 400 pushups and situps. After that it is-"

He stopped listening as he thought, 'These guys are insane. This is just a warmup? Well it would get my stamina to where I needed it and beyond actually.'

"I will join you." Naruto said breaking Guy from him long list of exercises.

"Yosh! We will continue with the laps ans we will get you some weights tomorrow from my other youthful student, Tenten!" Guy yelled out with flames in his eyes with Lee doing the same thing.

They both ran off as green blurs again, "What have I gotten myself into? And they were wearing weights?!"

-Flashback End-

Naruto smiled at the thought and the family before him. The father was sick but they didn't know to what extent. He had found their son walking around frantically for help crying about his father being very sick.

Naruto couldn't help see a young child in need and decided to follow. He kept his guard up because you can never know when someone is going to attack in the Red Light District. He didn't blame them though, people have to survive someway.

He looked over the father who was coughing small amounts of blood into a tissue and looked like unnaturally thin for a man his size. "What are his symptoms ma'am?" He asked the wife.

"He keeps coughing up blood and he dropped a lot of weight recently. He also breathe hard when he is laying there even when his last cough was hours ago. He also clutches at the right side of his chest as if he was in pain." She said as she wiped the sweat from the man's brow as he looked toward her thankfully.

Naruto mulled over the information in his head. "This could be a number of things but if he's clutching the right side of his chest and he's coughing up blood, I would assume that there is something wrong with his lung."

"Are you a medic nin? Can you help him, please?" The woman all but begged.

Naruto nodded and the irises of his eyes went from blue to a bright glowing white. "Scan." He muttered.

His vision changed from seeing colors and everyone's features to black and white and seeing the insides of everything. He could see beyond the walls and into the man's body now. 'I wonder why Law didn't do this? He said he always did it with his sword. Maybe because he didn't think of it, I doubt he had doujutsu to model after.'

He then felt an intense burning in his eyes that made him want to shout out but he couldn't unless he scare the family. 'Ahh! What the hell?! Maybe this is why he didn't use 'Scan' through his eyes?'

Ignoring the pain for now, Naruto looked over the man's chest cavity and immediately saw what he was looking for. Inside the man's right lung was a group of tumors. He frowned at this information, they appeared to not far along but it definitely needed to be treated right away. From what he read, cancerous tumors can have some cells break off and enter the blood and spread throughout the body.

This man has been having these pains for a week so he'd have to check again in another week.

"Okay. I've figured out what the problem is. Your husbandhas lung cancer." Naruto said and the woman gasped and she looked to her husband in worry.

"C-Can you do something to help him?"

Naruto nodded and held his hand out, "ROOM."

A circle of glowing faintly blue appeared around the bed and he unsealed a set of medical supplies he liberated from a medical storage room.

He picked up a scapel and was about to make an incision but stopped when the wife asked him, "Don't you need to put him to sleep first?"

Naruto shook his head, "There's no need." He pointed to the blue circle. "Everything within that circle, I can cut without it feeling any pain. See watch?"

Naruto then cut himself and didn't flinch but the woman didn't seem convinced. He sighed and cut her the tip of her finger off. She gasped as her finger was lobbed off but she didn't feel anything and he didn't move from his spot. "See? You didn't feel a thing. You can reattach your finger by sticking the two pieced back together."

She did just that as he started to operate on the man and she was amazed at how easy it was to fix her hand. There was no blood or need for surgical reattachment. She looked to Naruto with an exspression of awe.

Naruto was finishing up the surgery, it was harder than he expected. He had cut out the taken out the lung much to the woman's shock but he ignored it as he removed the tumors.

He placed the tumors into a small trash bag and tied it up tight. He then placed the lung back into the man and sealed him up nice and tight. The man ,while not looking immediately better, gained more color and stopped his immense coughing fit.

The wife hugged him while a few tears leaked out and she thanked him profusely. Naruto waved her off and told her it was nothing and that if they needed help again to get him as he was just a short walk away.

Naruto walked out of the house after letting their son join them in the bedroom. He smiled sadly for two reasons. One because he never had a family it nice yet sad to see one happy together. And the other reason was because the family was in such a terrible neighborhood. Not that the people around here weren't nice but it just looked so bad and wasn't a place for a small child.

He looked up to see it was a little after noon probably about 1 o'clock. He decided to go shopping for some supplies while he is out.

-Break-

Tenten was bored sitting at the shop, the Dragon Armory. It was dreadfully slow business today and she desperately wanted to close up shop and train or do anything else but she couldn't unless she wanted to be fired.

She was thinking about who her new training partner was going to be. Guy-sensei said he had a weapon user and budding fuinjutsu enthusiast for her to train with. She was excited because there was another ninja out there like her. Hopefully, they'll be cool and suave unlike her sensei and his clone and more talkative and outgoing than Neji.

She looked up boredly when she heard the bell ring through the shop. A figure came in dressed in orange trimmed black hoodie. He had sunny spiky blonde hair and three whisker marks on each cheek. What drew her attention though was the sword at his hip, it looked like a masterpiece. She drooled mentally at the sight.

"Welcome to Dragon Armory. How may I service you today?" Tenten said not taking her eyes off of his sword.

"Hello. I'm looking for something to help with sword maintenance and some ink and scrolls of varying sizes." The boy asked in a polite tone.

Tenten raised her eyebrow at his request, "Sure. How many scrolls of each sizes?" She asked as she went to the cabinet under the counter.

"I would like ten small scrolls, five medium scrolls and one large scroll."

She hummed in confirmation and looked through the cabinet while waving some dust out of the way. "So you study sealing?" She asked as she tried to get to medium sized scroll unstuck.

"Yes. I recently found I was kind of good at it so I wanted to expand my knowledge." He said.

"That's pretty cool. I wanted to be a medic nin like Tsunade the Sannin but I wasn't too good at it but I found out I was pretty good at sealing, well the basics anyway, so I created my own fighting style with it." She said as she set the last scroll on the counter with some ink.

"That's impressive. Maybe I'll be able to see it in action one day." Naruto said as he sealed the smaller scrolls and ink into the larger one and strapped that one to his back.

He took out his Gama-chan and took out the appropriate amount of money. Tenten raised her eyebrow yet again, "Didn't you say you wanted sword maintenance stuff?"

"Yes but then I realized something. You could place a seal on the sheathe to maintain the sword or even place seal on the sword itself." He explained but was surprised when she was in his face almost instantly.

"Wow, is that really possible?! I would have never thought of that. Can I see you sword?" She asked out of the blue.

Naruto looked at her bewildered but nodded slowly, "Uh, sure." He barely got the words out before his sword was in her hands. She was examining with eyes of a hawk, she checked everything on it twice.

"How much do you want for it?" She asked with a serious face.

Naruto was flabbergasted, "W-What?! It's not for sale!" He said as he snatched the sword back.

She pouted, "Mou! It's such a masterpiece. Do you even know how to use such a work of art?" She said hotly.

"Yes, I do in fact!" He yelled back. While not entirely true, he had his clones read the book by Mihawk back and forth countles times. He even had them go throw some of the motions so he could have some experience in using the sword techniques.

Tenten smirked, "Oh yeah? Prove it!" She said as she walked to the back room. Naruto followed her and when he entered he saw a small training area. Why they had this in the back of a store? He didnt know hut if he had to guess, it was probably for trying out new kunai or shuriken.

She pointed to a dummy at the end of the room, "Show me what you got." She said as she crossed her arms. Naruto sighed as he drew his blade.

What happened next had Tenten's jaw on the ground in shock. The way Naruto moved around the dummy with such precision was astounding. Sure, he was a little rough here and there but it was very good for a beginner.

He stopped and walked back over to Tenten and slowly sheathed his katana. "How was that?" He asked.

Tenten had stars in her eyes, "That was amazing!" She exclaimed out. He simply smiled and nodded.

"Well this was fun and I have to get to training so I'll see you around. Thanks for the service." He said as he began to walk out of the back room. "Oh and sorry for the dummy."

Tenten looked at the door with confusion, "What did he me-" she stopped when she heard splintering wood. She turned her head towards the dummy and saw as lines slowly appeared on the dummy's apendages. The dummy fell apart completely into multiple pieces.

"Oi, what are these?" She heard from the other room. Forgetting the scene in front if her for the moment, she went to go see what he was talking about.

He was pointing to a stack of small slips of paper on the counter by the register. "Those are chakra paper. It shows you your nature affinity."

She saw his eye gain a glint in them, "How does it work?"

"You take the paper and channel chakra into it: If it crumples that is lightning, if it cuts that is wind, if it crumbles to dust then it is earth, if it gets soggy that is water and if it turns to ash that is fire." She explained as she picked up a slip and channeled chakra into it and it crumbled to dust. "See? I have and Earth affinity."

Naruto absorbed the information, "I see. How much for one?" He asked.

"40 ryo." She said and she accepted the money as Naruto took a slip of paper.

Naruto channeled chakra into the paper and something peculiar happened. The paper cut down the middle but the two halves then did something as well. The right side crumbled into a fine dust and the left side crumpled a bit.

"Whoa, three affinities. Sensei told me that those are rare. Congrats!" Tenten said with a smile.

He looked dumbfounded but smiled back, "Thanks! Well I really need to go now. See ya!" He said as he ran out of the weapons shop.

"What a strange guy. He's gonna be strong if he keeps up that sword training." She said as she went back to thinking about what he did to the dummy.

-With Naruto-

'Hey do you know why I have three affinities?' He mentally asked the beast sealed inside of him as he walked down the street. He ignored the glares and focused on his tenant.

'It is because of those Devil Fruits you ate. The Gura Gura no mi gave you an outstanding control over the earth element and the Ope Ope no mi gave you a small affinity for the lightning, wind was your natural affinity.' The Kyuubi grumbled out, upset that its nap was interrupted.

Naruto nodded and internalized the information and wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into someone.

The person landed with an 'oomph' and glared up to Naruto, "Naruto-baka!"

Naruto looked down to see a platinum blonde young lady wearing a lot of purple. Her light blue eyes glaring up at him.

"Sorry, Yamanaka-san. I wasn't looking where I was going." He said as he reached his hand down to help her up. She huffed but accepted the hand anyway.

She looked him over once, "What's up with you? You don't call anyone by their last name and certainly use formalities." She said.

Naruto blinked, "How would you know? You never interacted with me besides by putting me down with Sakura and the others in the Sasuke Fan Club." He retorted.

She glared at him, "I notice things too! You used to wear orange all the time, you are a loud mouth, and you're the dead last." She smirked at him but was shocked when she didn't get a rise out of him.

Naruto shook his head, "Seems you don't notice enough, Yamanaka-san. Have a good rest of your day." He said as he walked away a threw a wave over his shoulder.

"What is wrong with him? He's so..calm now." Ino wondered briefly before heading off to meet with her team, Asuma-sensei said he had a big announcement.
