* One Day Later *
Naruto had walked outside the Hokage Tower planning to train with Shikamaru, his new friend and a random person that Shikamaru is bringing. Yesterday Naruto and Shikamaru hung out for a few hours then Shikamaru had to go do something so he got some money from Hiruzen and got some books about seals as he wants to release the Kyuubi as soon as possible without trying. Naruto Also saw Anko Yesterday and he didn't say anything but agreed to a deal of her training him and after every session of training he has to say one thing about why he tried to end it.
Naruto smiled seeing Shikamaru and with him a girl that he's seen from class that has pale skin and pale eyes with a hint of Lavender. Naruto also saw the girl have long lavender hair. Naruto smiled as he walked forward when he heard " This is Hinata." Naruto smiled giving one of his big ones when he saw the girl look at him nervously so he dropped his big smile for a small real one and said " I'm Naruto." Naruto saw the Girl nod and heard Hinata say quietly " Nice to meet you." Naruto nodded and said, " So a girl named Anko will be training us for a few hours but we can continue if we want." Naruto saw Shikamaru nod then heard " Ok." Naruto nodded and then heard " Ok." Naruto nodded then walked off with everyone heading to the training ground.
Naruto walked onto the training ground where Anko is and after stopping he looked around seeing a purple-haired woman. Naruto recognized Anko so he waved and said " Anko." Naruto saw the woman looking and heard " Finally." Naruto chuckled and then heard " Are you all ready?" Naruto nodded as did everyone. Naruto, Shikamaru and Hinata did some exercises then they all spared each other with Anko giving them pointers on their stance to make it stronger.
* Couple of Hours Later *
Naruto was standing in front of Anko with Hinata and Shikamaru. Naruto saw Anko hold out a scroll and heard " As you noticed today you guys worked on taijutsu so Naruto this is for you and it's a taijutsu scroll." Naruto nodded, taking the scroll, then he saw Anko hold out another one and heard " Shikamaru, this is a taijutsu scroll for you." Naruto saw Shikamaru take it then Naruto saw Anko hold out another scroll and heard Anko say " Hinata this is a scroll on chakra control you should take a look." Naruto saw Hinata take it and after a couple of minutes of looking over the scroll he looked away from the scroll hearing " On the other hand I have a mission later so work on them for the next two days on this stuff and we will meet up. Naruto nodded then he saw Anko walk off knowing that he needs to meet up with her in like fifteen minutes.
Naruto looked at Hinata and Shikamaru seeing Shikamaru look at the scroll and heard " I need to head home so see you later today." Naruto nodded, then he said " I have to go do something so see you later as well. Naruto looked at Hinata, seeing her nervous, then heard her say with a slight stutter, " I was planning on doing some more training." Naruto nodded and then said " It's almost lunch so why don't you go get something to eat and I will meet you here in an hour." Naruto saw Hinata nod with a smile so he smiled then walked off.
* One Hour Later *
Naruto walked back onto the training ground he was on earlier to see Hinata training on her taijutsu so he smiled and waved then walked closer. Naruto saw Hinata get out of her stance so he just smiled when he heard " So what do you want to do?" Naruto shrugged when he held up his scroll of taijutsu and said " Could you help me work on this?" Naruto saw Hinata nod so he opened the scroll and read " Flowing body." Naruto looked over the images seeing many random moves that could be used in random order that looks like how he fights now. Naruto got into the stance after setting the scroll on the ground.
Naruto tried to do the first move and failed when he heard " here why don't you get into the stance and we make it solid first." Naruto looked at Hinata and nodded, then got into the stance just to hear " Your left foot should be forward about three inches." Naruto nodded to Hinata's words and spent thirty minutes doing it. After having a stable stance Naruto and Hinata spent two hours working on Naruto's first fighting move and then they spent another three hours working on each other's taijutsu. After that Naruto and Hinata got something to eat then they headed their separate ways.
* One Week Later *
Naruto was just walking away from the ramen stand after getting something to eat with his friends. They all got better with their taijutsu with Naruto learning five fighting moves also one day out of the week Choji did join them for a couple of hours. Hinata had lost her stutter but was still quiet and nervous around had thought of the past week and the fun he had. Naruto arrived in front of the Hokage tower so he entered, remembering that today
He's getting a new home. Naruto walked up to the last level of the tower where Hiruzen's office is. Naruto knocked on the door then opened it and saw Hiruzen sitting at his desk doing paperwork. Naruto chuckled at that remembering the stories of how powerful Hiruzen was but his biggest weakness was paperwork.
Naruto closed the door and when he heard the door close he also saw Hiruzen look up at him. Naruto looked at Hiruzen with a smile and said " Jiji you wanted to see me." Naruto saw the Hokage nod so he said " Time for me to get a new home?" Naruto saw Hiruzen nod and heard " Yea and do you want to know what's funny?" Naruto nodded curiously when he heard " You're standing in your new home?" Naruto looked at the old Hokage confused for a couple of minutes and after that his eyes widened and he said " I'm going to live with you in the tower." Naruto saw the Hokage nod then heard " Yea." Naruto smiled as a couple of tears ran down his cheeks. Naruto remembered learning that kages had the option to live in the tower with Hiruzen being the only one. Naruto also remembered there are six floors to the tower, the first one is where they enter with the second floor having the council room and the mission room. The third floor was a library of many things from history to ninjutsu with the fourth floor being a kitchen and living room area. The fifth floor had seven bedrooms with a living room in the center and the sixth floor being the Hokage's office. Naruto looked at the Hokage as he whipped his tears off his cheeks and said " I-I…" Naruto couldn't say anything so he just nodded and then heard " I also have a gift for you." Naruto nodded and saw the Hokage grab a scroll then toss it at him so Naruto grabbed the scroll. Naruto set it on the floor and opened it to see a storage seal so he put his hand on the seal then put chakra into his hand. Naruto saw a poof of smoke and after the smoke disappeared he saw scrolls, square papers, sealing equipment and a weapon.
Naruto looked at the weapon and saw a re curve bow that was black with an orange Konoha symbol on the limbs and on the body a orange wrap. Naruto saw a basic back quiver so he looked up to see the Hokage chuckle and then heard " Naruto you made me realize that your pranks were a sign that you're great with stealth so I thought of the most unused weapon that a civilian would compare you to and got it." Naruto just smiled and nodded, then sealed everything away and picked up the scroll. Naruto smiled at the Hokage and was about to leave when he heard " Those scrolls are on jutsu and one that would solve your clone problem." Naruto nodded and said " I'm going to head to my apartment there with some stuff you most likely didn't find." Naruto saw the Hokage nod so he walked off. Naruto first went to the floor below him and after searching the rooms he found one with boxes in it so he assumed his room. Naruto walked in and put the scroll on a book shelf then headed to his apartment.
* Twenty Minutes Later *
Naruto entered his apartment seeing it cleaned out beside the furniture so he walked to his old bedroom. Naruto looked at the bed and after a couple of seconds he pulled it away from the corner then walked over to the area and went to his knees. Naruto knocked on the floor boards and after the fourth one stopped and then he pulled it up. Naruto looked at a small box so he grabbed and set it on the floor then he opened it. Naruto looks at a set of weird kunai ten to be exact which were normal kunai but no handle, just a metal flat handle. Naruto closed the box and stood up then went back to the tower. Naruto never knew the true identity of the person who gave them these blades but he did hate the person but once the Hokage told him he would do good in stealth he remembered about these and thought to use them.
* Twenty Minutes Later *
Naruto entered his room at the Hokage tower and set the box down. Naruto looked around and saw a small room but it was bigger than his old one. Naruto saw a twin size bed in the left top corner going long ways to the back with a desk on the top right corner going the same direction. There was a bookcase on the back wall in the right corner with a dresser in the other corner of the back wall. Naruto sighed then he walked to the first box and opened it and then grabbed some clothes. Naruto emptied about two boxes out of eight or nine of just clothes but he did throw most of them away as Hiruzen checked on him and saw the size of the clothes and the condition so he told Naruto that Naruto is getting new clothes.
Naruto sat on his bed and opened another box to pull out everything. Naruto pulled out some books and empty scrolls. Naruto set this stuff on the book shelf then he went back to the box. Naruto reached in and pulled out a stuffed animal of a fox that he got when he was five and all Naruto could do was chuckle and mumble " Ironic." " Yep." Naruto turned his head and swore to god he heard Kyuubi when he heard " Remember I'm in your mind." Naruto groaned and said " So how is this possible?" Naruto heard a chuckle then heard " First you don't need to talk out loud just think what you want to say and for second not exactly." Naruto gave a confused look and said " then how?" Naruto heard another chuckle then heard " You're channeling my chakra kid so now we can communicate." Naruto nodded and then said " Is there a way to do this without channeling your chakra?" Naruto didn't hear anything for a few seconds then heard " Maybe but it includes weakening the seal." Naruto chuckled, then he sat on his crise -crossed bed and closed his eyes.
Naruto opened his eyes, finding himself in his mindscape so he looked at Kyuubi and said " No offense Kyuubi but I don't trust you enough to have me seal weakened for us to communicate." Naruto saw the Fox nod and after a few seconds Naruto's eyes widened then he said " Shit I didn't think." Naruto then looked at the fox and said " I keep calling you Kyuubi but do you have a real name?" Naruto heard the fox chuckle then heard " Kyuubi is fine." Naruto nodded and then said " Ok." Naruto then closed his eyes again and opened it, finding himself in the real world. Naruto groaned not thinking of another question when he heard " Negative emotions usually work." Naruto chuckled and said " To channel your chakra." Naruto didn't get an answer but knew it was right so he said " Well then with your permission I would like to use your chakra to communicate with you." Naruto didn't hear anything for a few minutes then heard " Well first kid respect for keeping your word to me so I don't mind but that's all." Naruto nodded and then said " Ok." Naruto then finished unpacking as he asked the Kyuubi a few questions which he got answers for because he just wanted him to ask more questions.
* One Hour Later *
Naruto looked around, seeing his bed made and his desk having some empty scrolls, tags, ink and brushes on it. Naruto looked at his book case, seeing four shelves and on the top were scrolls and books, the second being the box of blades, the scrolls that he got from Hiruzen and the taijutsu scroll he got from Anko. He also had the stuffed animal of the fox on the second shelf. Naruto smiled at what he saw so he sat on his bed then laid on it and sighed in comfort.
Hiruzen was sitting in his office doing paperwork when he heard his window open so he looked at his student Jariya. Hiruzen looked at Jariya and said " He needs you." Hiruzen saw his student get annoyed and heard " Not this again." Hiruzen just shook his head just to hear " I will be here when I need to train him to use the Kyuubi's chakra." Hiruzen chuckled and said " Good luck." Hiruzen looked at his student seeing him confused so he said " Naruto knows about the fox and he refuses to use its power and I don't blame him it's not his power so he's truly not strong." Hiruzen saw Jariya nod then heard " I just need to show him that the demon he holds is a weapon." Hiruzen grew angry and said " No." Hiruzen saw his student confused so he said " He's talks to the fox Jariya and he doesn't think of the Kyuubi as a monster or a weapon and I might hate that creature but I trust Naruto so you are not going to train him or convince him to think of the Kyuubi as a weapon." Hiruzen saw Jariya about to speak so he said " No, that's final Jariya and I'm planning on doing what Minato asked." Hiruzen saw Jariya shaking so he said " I'm tired of hiding stuff from him and if we continue he will hate us both and just run so no more. Once he becomes Chunin I'll tell him everything." Hiruzen saw Jariya nod angrily and heard " It's a bad idea." Hiruzen chuckled and said " And you're a bad godfather but who cares." Hiruzen heard some mumbles then Jariya hopped out the window so Hiruzen sighed.
