\This story is sort of also inspired by Obito and Madara, how he shifted into an immense ninja with a different mindset from exposure to one person. I hope this is amazing. Love you all.

Thank you for your patience, depression hit me really hard.

I loved writing this, it was a lot of fun.

'Patience, Kushina. We cannot scare our son away, not until he gets his revenge on this cruel world.' The truth is that Kushina wanted to burn the village to the ground, she never liked it much. Hated as a kid for being born in another village, then for her red hair... she hated then but seeing what they did to Naruto, who's only crime was harmless pranks... no, she was in no position to love it. She had to work hard, for that reason, to not unleash so much killer intent that it could actually hurt Naruto.

Snapping her fingers, the world around her shifted, and she and Naruto both looked different. Her clothes were now that of her ANBU days, and Naruto's were a miniature of that. They both had a copy of her old blade, and that made her smile.

"Naruto, my style revolves around the blade. Yours might as well, if it is meant to be. Still, that and Taijutsu and chakra control are utterly a need to master for you. Well, that and academic pursuits. I know you cannot even tell me what chakra is." Naruto looked at her sheepishly. "That is partially your fault, but mostly that of that adults in your life. We will start by sparring every night in your mind while going over academics. I will show you memories of my past battles, and my life so we can get to know each other better. I will place a seal on you, I can posses your body, to mask your physical development and alert you to the crystal ball of the Third Hokage. I felt it on you in the last three days every so often. That worthless Old Fart has done nothing to help you, he has no right to stalk you."

Naruto chuckled, then sighed. "I know you are right, but if I cannot love him it feels like I have no one."

"You have me and you have Kyuubi."

Naruto looked up, confused. " Kyuubi?"

The Fox sighed, drawing both of their eyes. "I do not hate you, your mother forced me when she first woke up, to not only see your life, but to feel it. Your pain. I wanted to hate you, your pain should have been irrelevant, but I cannot deny the sameness of our plights. Hell, even if I did hate you, I would need your help to overcome the masked man. We must act as one to survive, can you do this?"

To her pride, her son nodded. "I can do that."

Kushina kissed his brow. "You are a wonderful child, you know that? Now... let us get started. Do not worry about damaging us, this is a mental exercise. It won't make your body better, but you can use the knowledge to better your training when it is time for you to train. Good thing tomorrow is a weekend, you can use the time to establish your work out routine, maybe get started on chakra control. That is going to be vital, with your vast reserves, it is a need. I know, your vast chakra was inherited from my bloodline."

Naruto nodded, eyes deadly serious. "Yes, Ma'am!"

And so they got started, Naruto throwing his every move at his mom, who was not very nice as she kicked out his knees or punched him across the field, backhanding him. She pulled out every dirty move, but after he got up, she would explain why.

"No one fights honorably, you need to be hard, focused, and willing to play dirty. We are not Samurai, we are Ninja!" When Naruto got in no hits, He felt sort of like a failure, until she sat next to him. "Naruto, you were barely taught the right way to fight, with no corrections. I cannot blame you. We are correcting a lifetime of mistreatment. It will take time. Now get up and let me show you my katas for taijutsu."

By the time Naruto woke up, he learned the basics of his mother's Rising Tides Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, as well as Surface clinging and Water walking. She also had him promise to use the leaf sticking exercise during his training, saying. "Your father has an extremely potent jutsu, the Rasengan. I will be teaching it to you, that technique will be perfect to fine tuning your chakra control until you are feasibly able to master your father's jutsu. It will also help us discover if you inherited sensory powers, both of your parents and Kyuubi are sensors, it would be odd if you weren't to be honest."

When Naruto woke up, he did so with a brilliant smile and a hope he never could have imagined... and with that smile he sat up.

His mother stopped him. "Naruto, I have a great idea. It just hit me. I want you to leave a note... and then you are going to go somewhere to train... somewhere no Ninja in the living world but you can even enter... My old compound."

Naruto froze. "Why?"

"Three months of solid training, complete with access to food we have sealed away, and time with your awesome mother? It will be more than enough to get you powerful. I saw how fast you learned in your head. You could rival chunin when we are done!"

And so Naruto did as he was told, and was soon in the hills just beyond the Hokage Monument. He found a small compound, with blue paint and overgrown gardens. As he walked through the high wall's gate, he felt a shiver of chakra wash over him. "What was that?"

"The seals recognizing my and your chakra, this was created by Mito Uzumaki, the First's Wife and Kyuubi's first host. I grew up here before I moved into your father's apartment. Now go and find your room. I will be showing you the water clone exercise you will need it to get this place into shape. It will be your home from now on!"

And Naruto sniffed, proud and happy, that he for the first time had a real home...

"If only we could see the Old Fart's face when he gets the note..."

Mother and child both broke into chuckles.

His mother managed to stop. "Go to the door to the compound, I will strengthen the seal so that no one can track you in anyway.

"""

Hiruzen was cold, stiff as a corpse as he read the writing on Naruto's Note.

"I will be back in three months, a member of the Uzumaki clan told me the truth. I know of the Fox, I know of your betrayal of my family, the oaths you made to my mother to keep me safe. I claim your debt as due. I will be back in three months, stronger than ever. Do not try to find me, you never could. Oh and that Ninja that found me, My mother! She left her soul in my seal, she is not pleased.

I could have escaped years ago, what do you think I could do with a mastery of her powers and the Fox's? Both of whom are training me. Try me and you won't have a village! I am done being a punching bag, you owe me. However, if no one pisses me off, all will be well.

Fulfill your debt and we will be good... fail to do so, and well... I am sure Rock would love to have me and my mother and Kyuubi as a part of their army?

P.S. Clan training can be up to six months, three months is excusable. Same with apprenticeship. Mom also says, if ROOT so must as farts near us, she will burn your village to the ground, starting with your clan.

Hiruzen shivered. "Kushina was a genius sealer, even by her clan's standards... and she is ruthless enough to do this. We failed Naruto, all of us... and we did fail to fulfill our oath to protect Naruto." He bowed his head. "I must make the right choice..." Looking up, he sighed. "I will honor this, for your both..."

"Good choice." Hiruzen froze, hearing Kushina's lovely voice. Turning slowly, he saw her, glaring at him. "I made a clone using my and Kyuubi's chakra, and Naruto's body as a medium. I should kill you here. I won't, but I could you know. You are so much weaker, I can feel it." She got really close. " I mean what he wrote, I will make your clan extinct if my boy is threatened the right way. Do not try me."

Knowing that, in his current condition, she could make her threat a reality, he nodded. "I understand... and for what little it's worth, I am sorry."

"You should be, I saw all his memories. Now, I will make you a deal. I will come once a month, to tell you that he is alive. Tell people he was chosen for apprenticeship, say it was private for his safety. I will reveal myself when the right time comes."

"Okay..."

"Good, Now... if that is all, I will go. So much time to train, so little time to do it." And she poofed away, leaving Hiruzen dreading the results but also deeply hopeful for them at the same time...

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

This was a fun chapter.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
