The next morning, Naruto woke up. When he tried standing up, he found himself puking. "Shit, what the heck happened?" Naruto asked himself as he was able to regain his composure.
The blond quickly got dressed. His outfit consisted of an orange shirt with a pair of black pants and shoes. He then proceeded to leave. Taking a moment to himself, Naruto decided to take Kurenai up on her offer.
Naruto knocked on the door and was surprised to see Anko. "Gaki? What are you doing here?" Anko asked.
"Hi, Anko Sensei. Is Kurenai around?" Naruto asked.
"What's up? She is on a mission." Anko said.
"Oh. I was hoping she could introduce me to Yugao Uzuki. You see, I read my father's scroll and he told me that she was my unofficial godmother. I was hoping to meet her." Naruto said.
Naruto's expression softened and she ruffled his hair. "She's actually one of my best friends. Come on inside. I'm going to get dressed and I'll take you to her." Anko said.
"Thank you, Anko sensei." Naruto said with a soft smile. For a moment, Anko froze at the sight before snapping out of her thoughts.
The blond entered and noticed the apartment was like his own with the exception of two doors that led to each woman's bedroom. Naruto sat down at the table and patiently waited.
Anko came out wearing her normal uniform that consisted of a specially fitted fish net shirt and shorts, underneath a brown skirt. She also had a tan colored overcoat. "Ready Gaki?" Anko asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Naruto said and the two left the apartment and proceeded down the street.
As they walked, Naruto noticed the looks and feelings the people of the village had. However, it wasn't just directed to Naruto, but Anko too. This was something that had occupied his thoughts over meeting Yugao.
"Anko." Naruto said as he came to a stop. The chunin stopped a few steps ahead of him and turned to face him.
"What's up?" Anko asked with a blank face.
"Why does the village hate you?" Naruto asked with a blank face.
Anko narrowed her eyes. "Where did that come from?" The woman asked.
"It's simple, look at the people around. They are giving you a glare that screams, die, you disgust me, and many other negative things. I want to know why." Naruto said
"It's none of your business." Anko said while glaring angrily.
"Holding on to things isn't healthy. You should open up more to your friends." Naruto said.
"You think we're friends? Look, I train you. That's it. There is no personal bond between us. Truthfully, you're annoying and I don't like you." Anko said with more venom. While she didn't personally hate the boy or dislike him, ever since her former sensei abandoned her, she refused to get close anyone with the male gender.
"That's too bad. I actually like you." Naruto said casually as he continued walking past the woman.
Anko's face showed absolute shock. After a few moments, she resumed her walk. After twenty minutes of walking, the two arrived at Yugao's apartment. Anko gave a knock and opening the door confused Naruto.
"Hayate sensei? Um, Anko sensei. I think we're at the wrong house." Naruto said.
"Hayate, is Yugao here?" Anko asked.
"Yeah. Come on in." Hayate said while coughing. The two guest arrived and found another purple haired woman wearing a black shirt with blue shorts, barefoot.
"Hi, Anko. What's going on?" The woman asked as her eyes glanced at Naruto.
"Yo. I've actually escorted young Naruto." Anko said as she flipped down on the couch.
"Hello, miss Yugao. I've come to inform you that I'm the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze. I'm unsure of why we haven't met yet, but I'm here to formerly introduce myself." Naruto said in a polite tone.
Yugao's eyes widened. "That's impossible... You died during Kyuubi's attack." Yugao said.
"Huh? Who the hell told you that?" Naruto asked.
"Nobody, but when the news of your parents death hit me, it was assumed you were killed." Yugao said.
"Oh well. I'm alive now. Of course, if you wish to not associate with me, that's understandable too." Naruto said.
Yugao remained silent. "I'm sorry, Naruto. But I need to speak with the Hokage." Yugao said as she vanished out of the apartment in a shunshin.
"Is she alright?" Naruto asked as he looked at the two adults.
"What was that about, Hayate?" Anko asked.
"I'm not sure." Hayate said.
Naruto ignored the ordeal and began his training with Anko. They were at the training field and Anko decided to teach Naruto one of her jutsu.
"Okay. I'm going to teach you the fire release - Fire Dragon jutsu. It's pretty simple. Watch me." Anko said as she created a dragon of fire.
"Nice. That looks like a strong jutsu." Naruto said.
Anko smirked. "Yeah, I'm pretty bad ass. Your turn." Anko said.
Naruto nodded as he went through the proper hand seals. "Fire Release - Fire Dragon Jutsu!" Naruto declared. To Anko's surprise, a large section of the trees were reduced to ashes.
"How were you able to do that? It's a C rank jutsu!" Anko declared.
"I have a lot of chakra. Also, my Sharingan allows me to copy a jutsu perfectly. The only difference is I decided to add more chakra to the jutsu.
"Still, your chakra level is easily chunin, if not jonin." Anko said.
Joining the two, Yugao appeared with a softened expression. Anko greeted her friend while Naruto gave a respectful bow.
"Anko, can you give me and Naruto a minute?" Asked the woman.
"Alright. Gaki, your homework is to perform the jutsu with only the need for the Tiger hand seal, got it?" Anko asked.
Naruto gave a mocking salute. Anko chuckled before she vanished. "Hello, miss Yugao. How's it going?" Naruto asked.
"I spoke with the Hokage. I didn't know what Lord Fourth did. Had I known, i would have taken you in myself." Yugao said.
"It's okay. Kakashi and the Anbu watched over me. I don't hold any I'll feelings towards you." Naruto said.
"Naruto, is that the serpent blade?" Yugao asked as she noticed the sword that was missing from Hayate's scroll was strapped to Naruto's back.
"Yes. Before I started training with Anko sensei, Hayate introduced me to his multiple blades. Speaking of which, why was Hayate at your house?" Naruto asked innocently.
Yugao blushed. "Well, Hayate and I are seeing each other. You know, Hayate and your mother were the ones that helped me perfect my kenjutsu. Is that topic you're interested in?" Yugao asked.
Naruto nodded. "Yes. I want to become a shinobi that's skilled in all areas. Anko sensei took over my training. But I think Kurenai will be training me in Genjutsu." Naruto said.
"I see. Are you interested in Fuinjutsu?" Yugao asked.
"Yes. But it seems my teacher isn't around. So, I'm forced with learning it on my own until he comes." Naruto said.
"Your mother and father were seal masters. While it isn't official, I'm considered a seal master. Would you like me to assist you in learning the art?" Yugao asked.
"Really? You'll teach me? Aren't you afraid?" Naruto asked as he looked into the eyes of the woman.
"Why would I be afraid?" Yugao asked.
"You're afraid that Kyuubi may try to break free and attack. However, Kyuubi won't be a problem, I promise." Naruto said.
"How did you know?" Yugao asked with embarrassment growing in her voice.
"My eyes see more than what's on the outside." Naruto said.
"I see. Well, I'll let you resume your training. You know where I live. Feel free to come visit me at anytime." Yugao said.
"I live next door to Anko. You can come over whenever." Naruto said.
"Alright." Yugao said with a soft smile. She was about to leave until Naruto wrapped his arms around her. "Are you okay?" Yugao asked the boy.
"Yes. But you're the closest thing I have to a family aside from Kakashi." Naruto said as he spoke into her stomach.
This sight made Yugao smile as hugged him back. "Okay, miss Yugao. I'll see you later." Naruto said.
"Just call me Aunt Yugao or just Yugao. Miss makes me sound old." Yugao said.
"Oh, okay. Bye, Aunt Yugao!" Naruto called out as he began working on mastering the fire Dragon jutsu.
Yugao left and when she was away from Naruto, Anko and Hayate appeared. "How did it go?" Hayate asked his girlfriend.
"Well, he seems to have some strange attachment issues. Not twenty minutes of us knowing each other, he gave me a massive hug." Yugao said.
"Aw, look at my little swords woman being a teddy bear." Anko joked.
"Shut up. Anyway, I agreed to help him with Fuinjutsu. Anko, please don't be too rough with him." Yugao said to her friend.
"Oh, please. The Gaki has potential and I'll be damned if I let it go waste. Besides, he's no weakling, that's for sure." Anko said.
"Do you think I could have him to train tomorrow?" Yugao asked.
"In most cases, I'd say go ahead. But Kurenai wants Naruto to learn some genjutsu. She thinks it's an advantage for him since he's got the Sharingan. But if you want, when she's done, you can teach him." Anko said.
"Okay, that sounds good. Well, Hayate and I will be going. I'll see you later." Yugao said to her friend.
"Bye, Anko." Hayate said.
"Yeah, later." Anko said laughing sheepishly until they left. A frown appeared on her face. "Well, Kurenai is busy, and I guess they are too. Maybe I should watch the Gaki's training." Anko thought before she proceeded to the training field.
When Anko arrived, she noticed Naruto wasn't working on the jutsu. In fact, he was throwing a kunai and teleporting. "What's this? What kind of jutsu is that?" Anko asked herself.
Naruto was able to reduce the jutsu to single hand seal. He was currently working on mastering the Hiraishin. Like his father said, it was like a shunshin that warps through time and space.
Though he was working hard and giving it his all, Naruto was struggling with having full control. However, the blond refused to give up and was determined to make his father proud.
