This is a powerful idea, and One that will have huge results.

I loved writing this. It will slow down after this chapter.


Kurama rarely liked humans, he could think of only the Sage that he liked... however, tasting Naruto's thoughts, no matter how warped with drugs, on vengeance and power... he could not help but admire that set of thoughts. They were so intense, so powerful, that aware or not Naruto had started the process of merging with his own darkness ever so slightly. It was an impressive feat, one few had ever managed.

Kurama was also no fool. If he wanted to be safe from the Uchiha that yanked him from Kushina, Naruto would need to be more skilled, more powerful. Just as Naruto had an epiphany on his own flaws, so too did Kurama have one on the idea of befriending Naruto and making his loyalty shift.

Of course, there was just a bit more too it than that. "Naruto..." Kurama started. "You cannot leave with Jiraiya, he will continue to force you to rely solely on my powers. My powers are an amplifier, and should be treated as such. If you magnify your overall powers, and then use me, you would be devastatingly more potent. To answer this call, I will lead you to the nearest Ninja Monks Monestaries. They are ninja Monks, and train in taijutsu, seals and elemental jutsu. With this, you can get your base line created and move on to greater powers. Stealing scrolls on meditation, geography and other things will only aid you in your overall path."

Naruto nodded, slow and focused. "Where is the nearest?"

"Thirty miles to the north east. It is the largest, so I would start there. Use your clones to steal anything you can, and leave no traces. Never get caught, use your pranking skills. I am sure you can do it, though rusty your pranking skills impressed even me. The raw intelligence, attention to detail and focus you required to manage them was brilliant. Especially painting the Hokage Monument in a bright orange jumpsuit. Speaking of which, you will need to change your outfit..."

Naruto sighed. " I figured... when should we leave?"

"Send your clones to grab clothes under disguise, as well as some extra weapons and maybe some food. Wait until the guard is at it's weakest... oh and buy a Katana. No one would guess you would use one."

Naruto nodded. " Anything else?"

"Don't get caught?"

"Obviously..."

Within six hours, at midnight, Naruto was gone, leaving a clone behind to throw everyone off... new supplies in his bag, dressed in an outfit identical to Kakashi's only without his vest, He wore a face mask that covered even his hair. For added protection he work a a mask of simple brown, and no one would ever know it was him.

With a tiny fraction of donated power from the Fox, Naruto blasted away so fast from the village that he reached the Monk temple after only an hour. He lept over the wall, and created a dozen clones, all of which used every ounce of stealth to tear through the building. No one caught them as they found the library and started to steal and seal away dozens of scrolls on everything from Taijutu and meditation to botany and history to wind and fire jutsu and finally a few on low level seals.

He stole over thirty four scrolls before someone came close and he was forced to flee, out a window and into the distance with more donated chakra.

He would not stop running until he made it all the way to Lightning Country.

At Kyuubi's request, he made a dozen clones and set them to reading, with two fishing, which he got some sleep. He would get to training the very next morning...

Not caring if he was discovered, not caring if anyone cared if he was missing. For the first time, he would come first and no one would ever come in the way of that again...


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,
