DISCLAIMER!: I DON'T OWN NARUTO! Thought you'd know by now...
(A/N): Ahhhhhhhhh! Three weeks of writing! Woot!
But, yeah. You guys are awesome. We are over 40000 words and over 3000 views! The reviews I have gotten from you guys are great as well! But, remember, if you guys ever have any questions, give me a shout!
But I'm gonna answer some questions that you guys might end up having soon.
Q: What happened to Hinata's mother?
A: She is ALIVE in this one. My reasoning is that Cole healed her of whatever she was dying of with the Naraka path.
Q: Will Naruto get the Rinnegan?
A: So far no, I don't plan on giving him the Rinnegan.
Q: When will we get to the story?
A: Right now! TO THE STORY!

Chapter 22: Fuinjutsu
. . . .
"Hey Teme, shoot a fireball at him!" Naruto said. As Sasuke was getting up he snarled at Naruto, "Don't tell me what to do!" But he just did it anyway. "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire release: Giant Fireball Technique)" As soon as Sasuke sent the fireball at the Uzumaki elder Naruto was finishing his own jutsu. "Fuuton: Renkudan! (Wind release: Drilling Air Bullet)" Once the wind caught up with the fire it made the fireball five times larger and completely engulfed Cole.
. . . .
Sasuke looked at the inferno that he and Naruto made in amazement. He had never been able to form a fire that intense before. He looked at Naruto and asked, "Did we get him?"
Naruto just shook his head. "He used kawarimi at the last second..." He looked around trying to sense his father. After a moment he caught his signature. "Sasuke jump!" He yelled as he jumped to the trees. Sasuke followed quickly after, narrowly dodging Cole as he came out of the ground. Cole chuckled and said, "good use of your sensory abilities Naru-" he had to stop talking when he blocked a few kunai from Sakura. "I almost forgot about you Haruno-san."
Sakura 'eep'd' as she ran back for cover. Dodging the kunai he sent back at her. She hid behind some trees and her face was pale. "What is this guy...nothing we try has any effect." Her train of thought was broken when she heard, "Psst, Sakura." She turned to see Naruto crouched behind her. He handed her a strange looking kunai and said, "The boss wants you to throw this at him when he gives the word, OK?" She thought for a second. She was a little unsure what Naruto was thinking, but she took it anyway. 'Naruto' saluted her and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Naruto was watching his father fight Sasuke from a tree when his clone popped. He smirked and thought, "Alight, lets see if this'll actually work."
"It better, it's the only thing I think will actually get him. 'IF' he doesn't use the Rinnegan." Kurama commented. Naruto crossed his fingers and made a quick prayer. He then took a kunai that was similar to the one he gave Sakura and threw it into the inferno that was still raging. He made a few hand signs and yelled, "Fuinjutsu: Kai!"
With that the inferno began to disappear. It looked like it was being sucked into the kunai that he threw. "Sakura NOW!" he yelled in her direction.
Cole looked away from Sasuke for a second. He heared Naruto yell to Sakura and instantly saw the kunai. But right as he caught it, he regretted it.
"FUINJUTSU: KARAI NO HIRAISHIN! (Sealing style: Fire of the Flying Thunder God)" Naruto exclaimed as his father caught the kunai. After he said that flames burst from the kunai completely engulfing his father. The flames only grew with intensity as more flames from the inferno were being transferred between kunai. "Did it hit?" He thought. Kurama chuckled and answered, "Yup, it hit Kit. His chakra signature is still in the fire." Naruto yelled out excitedly.
Sakura and Sasuke were wide eyed, and Kakashi was completely surprised with the jutsu that Naruto just used. "How on earth did Naruto learn the Hiraishi..." he mumbled to him self.
All of their attentions were caught when someone cleared their throat. They all turned to see Cole standing behind Kakashi. "I believe I've seen enough, you guys pass my little test. Good job on beating my clone by the way." He said in a jovial tone. "By the way, Naruto. We are going to have a nice and long talk about the kind of fuinjutsu you just used and where you learned it from, understand?"
Naruto gulped. He knew his father hated not knowing if he was working on fuinjutsu. His father was very adamant about being there to supervise so nothing went wrong. Naruto laughed sheepishly while Sakura smiled and let out a relieved sigh. Sasuke smirked and thought that of course he would pass. He was a Uchiha after all.
"Alright guys," Kakashi started, "We'll be meeting here every day at about six to do some physical training and warm ups before we do missions. I'll see you tomorrow." He turned to leave, but stopped, "By the way, good job." He said with a eye smile before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
. . . .
Naruto amd Cole were back at their house and Naruto was getting hit by a hundred questions. "When did you develop this? Where were you working? Why didn't you tell me? Is that a Hiraishin Kunai? Where did you find it?" The list went on and on before Naruto began to list off answers. "First of all, I found the Kunai in the house underneath a loose floor board. Second, I wanted this to be a new signature move to surprise you with. Third, it isn't finished. It works by taking any elemental chakra in about a ten meter radius and storing it in a pocket dimension. Then when I activate the second kunai it forces the chakra out of the dimension. I can use it to counter attacks of move environmental damage. It isn't finished yet because I can't store that much chakra in the dimension before I have to use it basically as a passage way. Once it's done I would be able to store any type of chakra in the dimension for a unlimited amount of time." Naruto finished by taking a big breath and letting it out slowly. It was a lot to say and he wasn't the best with words.
Cole scratched his chin thinking. "Alright, I want you to keep working on this. It seems to have a lot of other uses than just fighting. You could possibly even use it to give yourself a boost if you run low on chakra so that's cleaver. Plus...if you continue working on this, you could possibly figure out how to the Hiraishin as well. They are pretty close to being the same thing." Cole smiled at his son. "I'm proud of you kid. Got anything else I don't know about?"
Naruto looked away from his dad and said, "Weeelll~." Cole stared at him intently while Naruto let the suspense sink in. The blonde smiled and held out his hand, "Check it." In his hand a small blue orb of chakra formed and began to grow in size. It got to be about the size of his palm before it dispelled. "I've almost got the Rasengan down, and, Kurama says I'm almost ready to be able to use one tail of chakra in a level on cloak."
Cole smile widened as he ruffled Naruto's hair. "That's great! Why don't we go celebrate at Ichiraku's?" Naruto jumped up and yelled "Yeah!"
The father and son duo were laughing as they went out to celebrate.
. . . .
