DISCLAIMER!: I DON'T OWN NARUTO! Thought you'd know by now...
(A/N): Sup' guys! Time for the beginning of the five day training ark!
But before we do anything...IT'S TIME FOR THE Q&A!
Thank you guys so much for all your questions and I can't wait to give you the answers!
*clears throat*
Lets start with the PM's
CalicoKitty402 asks: What other stuff do you like to read/write?
Well Calico, in terms of Fanfiction, I mostly read Naruto fics. But I do enjoy some good Naruto/Fairy Tail crossovers. And let me quote from my profile on what I enjoy about the Fanfiction I read. 'I LIKE TEAR JERKERS!
I don't know why but I just love Fics that just make me wanna cry from either happiness of from unadulterated sadness.
I do also enjoy a damn good action fic that can have really enticing action.
I enjoy Naruto/Fairy Tail crossovers, I just think the two worlds work. Like...the meta just clicks.
And I am a NaruHina fan. I AM NOT A SAKURA HATER! I just think Naruto and Hinata is a better match...though I do think Sakura is a better background character than a main cast character...she's just boring...
I LOVE fics that are a little darker than the norm. Like, the ones that make Naruto's childhood a living hell. But those have to have a reasonably realistic Naruto that isn't all dumb and loves the village, make him spiteful and not so loving to the villagers!
And finally I HATE STORIES WITH A DUMB NARUTO! I can hardly stand the Cannon Naruto and the only reason he is even number 7 on my list is because of everything that happens after the Pein Ark. If he didn't grow up at all I would have probably dropped the series. I like a smarter (Doesn't need to be a genius) Naruto that can hold his own. (Doesn't mean OP but...\0_0/ whateves)'
Other things I like to read...well...I read a LOT actually...so...I'll just name off a few series. Percy Jackson, The Shadowdance Series, Chronicles of Nick, Rangers Apprentice, and The Alchemist, and many other book series.
And in Terms of writing, well. You guys already know Anonymous Jonin and I are writing "The Caged Bird" (Premiers on Sunday!), so I mostly enjoy writing Naruto fics. I might write a Naruto/Fairy Tail fic in the future but I dunno.
Incinerates asks: How did you pick you name?
Well my friend, one day a buddy of mine showed me a picture and I was all like, 'That's so adorable it needs to be my everything!'
Now that picture is my profile pic and name...once you go Bulba, you never go back am I right!?
Now on to the Review Questions!
Both Hinan Nightbreez and Menma99 ask: How powerful will Naruto and Cole become!?
Well to answer your questions, I'll start with Cole.
My idea for Cole is to be Madara level. But, just imagine this...how much of the Rikudou Sennin's chakra has he used so far? (hint: none ;D)
As for Naruto.
Once he masters the Kurama chakra cloak he'll be basically a slightly stronger Canon Naruto when he went into Kurama Mastered Cloak mode. The one with the robes and stuff.
I do plan on Naruto learning Sage mode, but that'll wait for the three year time skip...yes I'm gonna have that be apart of the story!
And as for their Jutsu, you'll have to wait for the Fourth Shinobi War to see any more from Cole, he won't be in any more major battles till then.
And for Naruto, well...Rasengans and other clone combos are a given. But, he'll start to do more and more with Fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu after this ark.
Thank you all so much for your questions! I hope I answered them well enough to still your ever brimming curiosity!
Now without further delay
TO THE STORY!
. . . .
Chapter 76: Next Stop, Turtle Island!
. . . .
Naruto's jaw dropped and Anko jumped up in excitement. "You're ON!" she shouted and ran out of the house. Cole looked over to Naruto and snickered at his look of defeat. "Let's just call this payback for drinking all of my Sake." he said as he left. Naruto just grumbled and walked out of the house and lock the door behind him.
. . . .
"Geez Hime, I'm only going to be gone for a week." Naruto shakily said as was being squeezed to death from Hinata's hug. Naruto and Cole made their way to leave when they were stopped by Hinata and the young heiress had grabbed Naruto in a vice like hug and wouldn't let go. She sniffed a little and sighed. "I know...but it seems like every time I take my eyes off of you, you're off doing something dangerous. I hate watching you go." she said meekly as she buried her face in the crook of his neck. Naruto smiled softly and hugged her back. "Well, you know me Hime. Wherever I go, danger just seems to follow." he soothed her as he ran his hand through her long dark blue hair.
Even though Cole was happy for his son, they had things to do and deadlines to meet. "Okay, Hinata. We really need to get going if we are going to meet our five day deadline." the Rinnegan bearer said as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. She squeezed her boyfriend one more time before reluctantly letting him go. "Please come back soon, Naruto-kun..." she said with a soft smile. Naruto turned to walk away and looked over his shoulder at her. He gave her his biggest grin possible and gave her a thumbs up. "Don't worry Hime, I'll be back before you know it. Oh, and one more thing..." he stopped and threw something over his shoulder. A tri-pronged kunai landed in front of the girl and she raised an eyebrow at him. "Just channel some chakra into that and give it a throw. And I'll be there." he said as he walked away with his father. "I'll see you when I get back Hime," he said as he waved to her from over his shoulder.
Cole made the necessary hand signs and put his palm to the ground. A large plume of smoke covered the two. A second later a massive bird erupted from the smoke, carrying the father and son to their destination.
Hinata watched as the bird left her field of vision and lightly whispered to herself. "You better come home...my Kitsune Kishi..."
. . . .
"Woah! We're going so fast!" Naruto yelled over the wind as the two flew over the lands of Hi no Kuni. Cole chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, speed is Roc's specialty. We'll be in Kaminari no Kuni by late afternoon." he responded. Naruto suddenly felt a shiver down his spine. "Good lord it's cold!" he complained as he began to shiver. Cole just laughed at his son. "Just use some Katon chakra and get over it ya pansie!" he laughed. Naruto quickly nodded and instantly warmed up and he channeled Katon chakra through his system. "I'm not a pansie ya old geezer! I bet once me and Kurama finally sync up we could beat you easily." he huffed at his father.
Cole smirked dangerously. "Oh really now? Would you like to test that while I drop a meteor on top of you?" he said sisterly. Naruto paled and looked at Cole. "Y-You can't actually do that...can you?" he said nervously. Cole chuckled evilly and smiled broadly. "Of course I can. The Rikudou Sennin created the moon. And I being his Oracle, must be able to at least make something half as big. It would do him a great dishonor if I couldn't." he explained while chuckling at Naruto's rapidly paling face. They sat in silence for about another hour before Cole patted Roc on the back. "Alright big guy, take us to the coast line." Cole said to his summons and it complied by turning and heading towards the coast line.
Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked to his adoptive father. "So, where exactly are we going?" he asked the man as the Rinnegan bearer looked out towards the coastline. Cole scratched his cheek with one hand and smiled shakily. "You know...that is a very good question." he said with an airy laugh. Naruto looked at him with a deadpan stare. "You don't know where this island is...do you?" he deadpanned. Cole just continued to laugh a bit and looked back out to the coastline.
"Well," he started. "It is a MOVING island, so no. I don't know exactly where it is. But what I do know is that it is off the coast of Kaminari no Kuni and looks like a paradise island for all kinds of exotic animals and nature." he explained to his son. Naruto sighed and shook his head. "So we just fly around until we find it?" he said slightly irritated. Cole smiled broadly at him and nodded. "Yup!" he said happily.
Naruto sighed again and laid down. "Fine, then I'm gonna take a nap."

"BEE!" the Raikage roared in anger from behind his desk. "DAMMIT WHERE DID THAT IDIOT GO NOW!" he shouted. The Raikage was a very large man with rippling muscles. He had light blonde cornrows and dark brown skin. He also had a small mustache on his upper lip and a spiky bead on his chin. "MABUI!" he called. After he yelled a slender silver haired woman with chocolate brown skin walked in. "Yes Raikage-sama?" she said with a slight bow. "Where's my idiot brother? I have a mission for him." he said in a angry huff to his assistance. Mabui looked through the folder she was holding and gave a hum in thought. "Ah! Bee and Yugito went to the Turtle Island for a training trip. They should be back in about a week." she said to the Raikage.
He just gave an exasperated sigh and rubbed his temples. "Alright fine then. Tell Darui to get here for a mission then..."
. . . .
. . . .Turtle Island. . . .
. . . .
"YO! Yugito! Why you gotta act so cold!? It's gettin' so old! Can't cha just be nice to little old me? Cuz you know who I be, I'm the mighty Kirai Bee! Wheee!" A tall man with blonde cornrows and goatee said while waving his hands in front of himself in an odd fashion before finishing with a hand in the air making a pair of horns with his pinkie and index finger.
The woman he was walking next to gave an exasperated sigh and facepalmed. "That's why you idiot. Why can't you ever act normal for once in your life!?" she yelled angrily. She was shorter than Bee was and had long braided blonde hair. Bee just grinned at her. "If I stop with my elegant flow, then my raps will reach an all time low, ya fool." he said to Yugito as he pulled out a little green book and pencil. "Mhmm, that was good, gotta put than unda the hood..." he mumbled to himself as he wrote in his book. Yugito just shook her head and continued to walk to their destination.
A few minutes passed before they came across a small waterfall that had a little bump like island in its pool. But, they weren't alone. As soon as she and Kirai Bee walked into the clearing another pair of people walked out of the trees.
"You see Naruto, I do know where I'm going. Here it is, the Waterfall of Truth in all its glory..." the taller of the two said and began to trail off when he saw Yugito and Bee. The taller man had long white hair and a strange white mask covering his face, while the smaller had long and spiky blonde hair and piercing blue eyes with strange whisker like marks on his cheeks.
There was an awkward silence as the two pairs looked at each other.
It lasted until the taller man scratched the back of his head. "So...uh...do you guys want to go first?"
. . . .

Yeah I know my raps with Bee suck, sue me! :P
