LEARNED IT FROM A MANGA

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto or the Dragonball series.

Age: Rookie nine: 7-8, Team Gai: 8-9

And as a heads up, it won't be until around chapter 12 when I make them ninjas. By then, if there are any magna buffs out there, I would like to make sure the rest of the Konoha 12 have a certain magna match, mainly ones that would match the characters with the bloodlines, Ino excluded, like for example, one involving Shikamaru and shadows, Shino and bugs, and Hinata with both the Byakugan and gentle fist. As for the rest, Sakura something involving doctors who know how to fight. Tenten, something that involves weapons, obviously, but no firearms. Lee, something that would help with his condition. Ino, not so sure, but could use any ideas that could come to someone's mind. Kiba, I plan on having him learn from Inuyasha.

Third year at the academy is at full swing and right now everybody was learning about weapons, from the kunai, which was the standard weapon of most ninjas, to katana, both ninja and samurai versions. Although according to Neji and Lee, the teachers had a heck of time keeping Tenten from taking home souvenirs, and she was caught twice when she tried to 'smuggle' some of them home with her, some that were taller than her.

This was one of the few classes that Hiruzen had brought back as one of the few to help focus on fields that certain students are either excel in or have a deep interest in, as well as proven to be gifted in, like learning different weapon styles, fuinjutsu and medical training. Right now the fuinjutsu class was the lightest, light being that Naruto was the only student and Hiruzen was looking for his student, Jiraiya, by means of either ANBU or monkey summons, to teach Naruto the art. He was also making sure to blackmail his student's perverted ass with some very 'incriminating' photos that he wouldn't want to be made public.

Right now it was Naruto, Sasuke, and Choji who are taking said class, with Sakura and Hinata signed up with the brand new medic class, with Hiruzen trying to send word to Tsunade, and her sidekick Shizune, to see if she wants to teach the future generation of medic-nins, while hoping she don't actually kill the messenger. Ino took a slight interest in Torture and Interrogation, which is a temp class taught by Ibiki, to the horrors of Inochi. Shikamaru, being the typical Nara, decided to use the hour as a free one to get some sleep.

Kiba and Shino both had to take a class on animal care due to their clans, which was also offered to students who want to try and get an animal to work with. To his horror, his sister Hana was one of the teachers and she just loved to torment the boy by using him for a demonstration on something, which would result in him doing something foolish and everybody getting a good laugh out loud from his expense.

The first month worth of class was spent getting the students accustomed to the weapons, from trying out each weapon, their strengths and weaknesses, and now, the teacher decided to ask if any students have had any weapons training prior and if any students have any personal weapons preferences, or more specifically their main weapon. "Okay, before I start handing out your practice weapons, I need to know which ones that you all would prefer." The instructor, a kunoichi said, before looking at the young fox boy, "Naruto, from what I understand, you are taking lessons on bo jutsu from the Hokage himself, right?"

"Yeah, but I had to wait until the next day to get started." Naruto said, while rubbing his back, "I went to Gramps to ask him if he knew anybody who knows how to fight with a staff and the next thing I know, I was trapped in a bear hug, about to snap like a twig."

The Chunin couldn't help but to chuckle at this. While the Third is known for being the sensei of the Sannin, what was well known to the adults and older ninjas was that the one thing that he was hoping to pass down to another generation his fighting style, which he never got to do with his team or his family. Very few knew about his other 'activity' when he has some down time in his office.

"Okay, now that we know what weapon is going to become Naruto's main, does anybody else have a weapon chosen?" She asked, while her assistant was getting everything on a list. When a hand came up, "Sasuke, I know your family tends to prefer the sword, but I'm taking it that you have something else in mind?"

"Yeah, I've been doing research on my clan's history, and even though he is considered what everybody would call infamous, I came across a little information on Madara Uchiha." Sasuke said, getting a lot of people's attention, "While I wouldn't mind using a small blade as a secondary, probably a wakizashi or butterfly swords, I would like to learn the art of tessenjutsu (war fan)."

While the name, Madara Uchiha, is used to give some people a reason to hate the Uchiha Clan, they have been proven to be more trustworthy when compared to most of the council. "Okay, Sasuke, like Naruto, both styles are very rare in the Elemental Nations, especially around here." The chunin said, "While I can help you with the blade weapons, maybe you should ask around your clan and see if anybody else still practiced tessenjutsu." After receiving an understanding nod from the boy, another hand went up, "Choji?"

"I would like to learn the yari (Japanese spear), "Choji said, "While I wouldn't mind trying to learn the staff like my father, but . . ."

"You would like to branch out to where you put your own twist on things." The instructor's assistant said, after he wrote down Choji's choice on the list, "Trust us kid, you're not the first to say that and you definitely won't be the last."

As for the rest, which with the three mentioned, totaling about 15 students, 6 of them picked a long blade weapon, like the katana due to how cool it looks, 3 choose small bladed weapons like a pair of sais, 2 chose gauntlets, one with spikes, and the last one decided to go for nunchakus.

Over at the medic class, Sakura and Hinata are getting hands on feel on making a tourniquet, along with four other girls and two boys. When they decided to talk, "So Hinata, what was that loud scream that came from your compound last weekend?" Sakura asked.

Hinata looked like she was trying hard not to burst out laughing, "Oh you know how some of the people were saying that Naruto would be a bad influence on their children?" She asked, getting a nod in return, "Well, it's true because me and Hanabi . . ."

Flashback

It was a nice quiet Saturday morning, and just about everybody was at the table having breakfast, along with Naruto. Just after the year was up, turns out that some of the civilian councilors have family or friends in the ninja corps and, even though most of them have respect for Naruto, due to those members power or calling in favors, they were forced to try and cancel out any security jutsus and anything else protecting Naruto and kill the boy. There were three ninja total, and only two people were able to stop them, Kakashi and Itachi. After being intercepted, knocked out and waking up to see Ibiki's face which clearly promised pain if they didn't cooperate. Sure he specializes in mental torture, but even he has a low tolerance when it comes to trying to kill children. All three confessed into being forced into it, and even though more physical evidence is needed to convict any council member of any wrong doing, the Hokage cleared them of any wrong doing and had them make up for their actions by watching over Naruto while he is in class, as well as protecting them from the same people who would try to use them again.

The clans got together and decided that Naruto would spend a week at each of their compounds, which would not only protect him from being attacked in his sleep, but it would keep the villagers out because nobody would be suicidal enough to try and attack him because the clans would defend everything with a vengeance. The Main and Civilian councils couldn't do anything because clan protection falls under a different set of laws, and with the Hokage's backing, which means said laws can be used against them when violated.

The weekend was the end of Naruto's stay at the Hyugas before he had to stay at the Aburame clan, when Neji came walking in, with makeup on his face, from the lipstick to the eyeliner, still waking up, band sat down at his usual spot when his breakfast was served, which was something Hinata picked up from a sleepover at Sakura's called pancakes, with a side of sausage, that when asked to make at the Hyuga compound, became a big hit. After a couple of bites and a drink of orange juice, Neji became awake enough to notice that everybody around the table had a look on their face like they are trying to keep something in, including the ever stoic Hiashi was trying hard to keep his serious face on but was failing badly.

This went on for about ten minutes, every time somebody tried to start a conversation, the person they were talking to would end up talking and chuckling/giggling at the same time, when Naruto said, "Hey Neji, you have something on your face."

While everybody was having a harder time containing it, "Where?" Neji asked, still wondering what was going on.

"It's too big for one go, you might want to use the mirror in the bathroom." Naruto said.

Giving the boy a slight nod before he got up and left, a couple of minutes later, a loud "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Could be heard around through the out the village, while everybody in the dining room finally cracked and laughed hard enough to where breathing wasn't much of an issue.

Flashback end

Sakura couldn't help but giggle at this, while Hinata continued, "And at first he was accusing Naruto of doing it, but he simply said that he doesn't do makeup." When she let herself some control, "And by the time he put two and two together, both me and Hanabi were just about out the door."

Sakura was having a little trouble keeping focused, "Man, I would have loved to see that." She said, "Please tell me somebody took a picture."

"Yes, Aunt May did, but she said she would keep it in her personal photo album in case Neji ever gets out of line." Hinata said, while finishing to put the final binding to the tourniquet, "And I'm curious though, any special reason why you would want Naruto to spend the night at your house Sakura?"

Sakura's cheeks lit up a bit, "Well, since everyone else has had Naruto stay at their place, even Tenten and Lee had him over, that I wanted to have turn having him over." She explained, "But right now we have to wait word from the Hokage on when would be the best time since he is acting as Naruto's guardian." Deciding two can play at this game, "So what is with all the looks you've been sending to Sasuke?"

Now it was Hinata's turn to blush, which caused an interesting conversation to go on during the rest of class, while the one girl in the class that was a Sasuke fan club girl, who was not pleased. While the civilian council didn't like the ninja clans for protecting Naruto, what they do want is to have the daughters of some to romance Sasuke enough to have under their thumb so that way not only would they have the sharigan to take out said blonde, they would have easy access into the Uchiha Clan, both money and power.

At Ino's class, Anko Mitarashi was giving her what would be considered the toned down version of what she learned. While she wanted to teach the young mind reader some stuff about the human body, or rather certain parts that people value when they get older, her boss Ibiki Morino threatened to cut her off of her favorite treat, dango, for a month with the help of her only friends, Kurenai Yuhi, Hana Inuzuka and Yugao Uzuki. While she would have a field day on anybody else that threatened her like that, Ibiki is the first person outside of her friends to not only see as a person deceived, and not a traitor, with Hiruzen being the second.

Over at the animal class, Kiba was trying hard not to laugh because Tsume decided to take over the class for the day, while doing to Hana what she does to Kiba, which was embarrass him in front of the class. What Tsume had her do was stand in front of the class in a dog costume and had her standing while the Inuzuka clan head pointed out about parts of the canine that needs careful consideration when it comes to their health. While Tsume didn't mind the whole sibling rivalry as long as it's at home, but using her teacher status to torture your sibling, making a private thing public, then she decided to step in to make a point.

Kiba was laughing hard, and was allowed to because Tsume said that after today, everything between them in a public setting is even and stays that way. Shino, thanks to what he was wearing, was able to hide his smile better than the rest.

Shikamaru is on top of the roof, doing the male Nara's favorite pastime, cloud watching, which happens when either they get tired or when the girl they're with finally catches them when they try to do any kind of physical activity. Right now he was trying to think on which manga matches his clan's style. As a big disappointment to him, none of them were as lazy as him, laidback some, but never lazy. He knew some of them used weapons as an extension for their shadows, but the problem for him is that his clan's abilities require something to be on in order to be useful. After a while of thinking, he decided to jump off the roof and see if it was too late to join the weapons class.

Neji, Tenten and Lee are taking a mixture of academic classes, along with intermediate classes on taijutsu, genjutsu and ninjutsu, although Tenten was disappointed that she had to wait until next year to take an advanced weapons course.

At the Hokage's office, Hiruzen was sitting on the couch reading his Icha Icha book, while he has shadow clones doing the paperwork. It was from one of Naruto's visits that he got the idea. Naruto told him that when he becomes Hokage that he would use clones to do the work for him. Hiruzen laughed at this and told him that most clones were elemental and ran the risk of destroying the paperwork, even if it is worth the risk. When picked up the most part, he asked if there are any clones that wouldn't be a risk. Hiruzen thought about the shadows clones, but was about to tell the blonde otherwise until it finally clicked in his head that he knew the solution all along. After banging his head against the wall, causing Naruto and the ANBU in the room to have a big sweat drop hanging from their head due to the action, he decided to tell Naruto to wait a couple of years.

He was turning to the next page when he felt a familiar presence hanging out by his window, "I know you're there Jiraiya," Hiruzen said, "I heard your scream from the hot springs about an hour ago."

In walked what looked like a white-hair kabuki (let me know if I got that right), "Hey old man, how are things here?" Jiraiya asked.

"Oh besides the same old garbage from most of the council, I'm having a peachy time." Hiruzen said, while marking where he left off in the book, "And judging by the screams that came before yours, I'm guessing you were peeking on girls that are still in their teens."

"Yeah, some fresh out of the academy genin and a couple of their mothers." Jiraiya explained, "Anyway, I got your message saying that the little runt is following in his father's footsteps on seals."

"Oh you are just jealous because even though he was six at the time, he got to share a hot tub with grown nude women and you ended up getting pulverized after getting caught." Hiruzen said, causing Jiraiya to mumble something along the lines of 'lucky little bastards' and 'damn wise old man.'

What Hiruzen brought up was that sometime after Naruto turned six, his land lord decided to try and cut Naruto off from his utilities, one of them being water. After spending a week bathing at a river, Yoshino came across him, and after finding out what happened, she and the other mothers got together and decided to give him a more decent bath at the local hot springs, along with their daughters. This included Hunita, Hinata, Violet Yamanaka, Ino, with three more mothers. (Remember, I said that Naruto was six, meaning nothing happens, and along with Ino and Hinata, they are too innocent to know how every part of the body works. So leave the dirty thoughts away from this story.)

Unfortunately, Jiraiya happened to be at his usual spot in a tree, watching the whole thing and after noticing Naruto was among them, he was thinking lucky bastard. Due to a big lapse of judgment on his part, he went for a closer look until the branch he was on gave out and he ended up falling right in the middle of the woman's hot springs. After recovering that was when he felt the full mother's wrath times six, while the kids just sat at water's edge, wondering what was going on with the grownups.

"Plus you're lucky that nobody labeled you as a pedophile since there were children there, or else people would have something to compare you to your ex-teammate." Hiruzen said, causing the man to shiver at the thought, "Anyway, I was hoping you take Naruto under your wing on fuinjutsu and almost anything else you can think of, which would also serve to make up for not keeping your promise to Minato and Kushina."

Just before he could respond, the ground shook from what seems like an earthquake. From the pale looks on the two men's faces, it was something they felt before, when it was caused by a certain someone that can pummel them straight to hell in one punch.

When it felt like it was close to them, the doors flew open to reveal an blonde woman with two long ponytails going down her back, a small diamond on her forehead and a look on her face that promised excruciating pain if she didn't get What she was looking for. Only one question came out of her mouth, "Where is my godson?"

Here is the latest chapter, sorry for taking so long, my tank of gas keeps getting empty. Like I said, I still need help trying to match different magna with different characters, especially the ones with bloodlines. And like I said about that explanation at the hot springs, even though it is the closest to an M rated material I can get, I tried hard not to cross any lines, especially on this website, and at their age, Naruto, Ino and Hinata are too young to know the full difference between boys and girls. Anybody who takes it too seriously is either looking for an excuse to cause trouble or takes things way beyond seriously. Anyway, Read and Review, and remember Mother's Day coming up.
