"Bwahahaha!" Naruto laughed as he ran down the streets, his laughter attracted a lot of attention, but when everyone saw who it was, they shot glares at him.
However, it didn't bother him, not that it would ever. But even if it did bother him, he was in too good of a mood to care right now.
"Brat, wait for me" A white figure caught up to him very quickly
"Sup old perv"
"I told you to drop that" Jiraiya sighed, why did the bathhouse have to be near this kid's house? He actually saw him peeking!
"Sure, horn dog" Naruto replied
Jiraiya sighed, knowing that he shouldn't argue with a thirteen-year-old boy.
"Kid, let's head out, I want to see your chakra control myself" Jiraiya said with a wide grin on his face.
"Smile less, you're scaring the people in town"
"...damned brat" Jiraiya groaned
He took Naruto outside the village, and stopped by a river
"Let's start with something simple" He took out a small water balloon and threw it to Naruto
"Pop the balloon by rotating the water with chakra" He grinned
*Splash*
The moment Naruto caught the balloon, it popped just a few seconds after. And in that instant, he indeed saw the water rotate before popping, so it wasn't anything random.
"Done" He replied
"Urgh...h-how about an air balloon" Jiraiya said as he passed him another
*Pop*
"Done" Naruto replied
"Not bad, last one, a rubber ball" Jiraiya said as he tossed it over to him, trying his best to remain calm in the situation.
Naruto sighed as he threw the ball aside, which made Jiraiya frown. But the next second, he saw Naruto lift one hand, and focus his chakra on his hand.
"First try, not a bad attempt" Naruto muttered as his chakra rotated on his palm rapidly, forming a ball.
Jiraiya's eyes boggled
"Th-The rasengan! How can you use it already" He gasped
"The practices you gave me formed a foundation, and after that, I just applied the logic and did it, it wasn't too hard" He replied with a blank look
"..."
How long did it take for him to master the rasengan!? He spent three years studying it to learn it, yet Naruto learned it instantly!? What practice is there!? He just went and did it!
"Th-That's quite impressive, you-you...WHAT THE F**K!" Right now, Naruto was fiddling around with the rasengan, and now had five on his hand, one on each finger!
His mind blanked out....
"A dream, this must be a dream"
"I can hit you with all five at once if you want to test if this is a dream or not" Naruto said as he prepared to slam it into the old man
!!!!!!
"I'd rather not!" Jiraiya jumped back, five at once? That will tear him to shreds!
Naruto chuckled
"Chakra control is a delicate thing, and very fascinating, so it was one of the first things I mastered" He grinned as he flicked his hand, and the five orbs were thrown out.
*Bang*
All five smashed into a boulder, causing it to explode on impact due to the numerous directions they were each spinning in.
!!!!
"You can throw it!?" Jiraiya has never heard of the rasengan being thrown before! Yet a thirteen year old kid is doing it so casually!?
Naruto smiled as he summoned another five on his fingers and threw a kunai at a tree.
"Perhaps..." Using his other hand, he formed a seal before slamming the five rasengans into the seal.
*Puff*
All five rasengans suddenly vanished, and the next second...
*Bang*
Out of nowhere, the tree suddenly exploded, with five spiral shaped marks on the log.
!!!
Jiraiya's mouth couldn't be opened any wider than it is now, just how many surprises is this kid going to show!? How did he teleport the rasengans!?
"H-How"
"Minato's signature ability, the flying raijin, I wanted to see if the marks can teleport only the user, or can it teleport jutsus as well, seeing this, I'm quite glad...though I did make a few alterations to it so it is more stable" Naruto smiled
He rubbed his chin
"Ah, I shall name this the [Penta rotational instantaneous teleportation rasengan], rolls right off the tongue" Naruto grinned
Jiraiya became silent...the kid standing before him can no longer be described as a genius, he was an absolute monster! And also...his naming senses are terrible! Just as bad as Minato's!
"Well, now that we have this out of the way, teach me summoning" Naruto smiled casually
"...sure" His face was aching from all the jaw dropping motions he made, and prepared himself for something illogical in case Naruto did something insane again.
He took out a scroll
"My summoning are all toads, what you do is you inject chakra into this after dripping your blood onto it, control the chakra flow properly, otherwise, what you summon won't be a toad, but a tadpole" He said as he passed the scroll over to Naruto
"Try using a small amount first" He added after giving him the scroll
Naruto stared at him suspiciously
"It needs my blood? This won't be some slave contract, could it?" He asked as he pointed at it
"..."
"I'm just kidding, I've studied enough about seals to know" Naruto rolled his eyes when he realised Jiriaya was about to blow, so he bit his thumb and pressed his hand onto the scroll.
*Poof*
The moment he looked down, he saw a small orange toad.
"Sup, I'm Gamakichi, nice ta meetcha" The toad hopped onto Naruto's head and grinned
Naruto looked up, then glanced at Jiraiya
"So, is this correct?" He asked
"Indeed, to have succeeded on your first try, not bad" Jiraiya nodded with a satisfied smile on his face
"Kay, I'm done, so can I go now?" Naruto asked
"Huh? Not so fast, how about you try injecting a bit more chakra? Maybe you can summon the boss toad hahahaha" Jiraiya joked
Naruto rolled his eyes, but he decided to do it nonetheless since it would be good to have access to Gamabunta if he ever needs to face a tough opponent, he can be a big target for distraction while he runs...
[Kid...you're evil, you know that?] Kurama heard his inner voice, and was left at a loss
'Wha~t? No~'
-In Orochimaru's temp hideout-
Thankfully, the transformation jutsu cast on him the other day wore off...Orochimaru opened up the scroll that Naruto gave him.
*Puff*
Two bodies appeared on the ground, being Haku and Zabuza. The two of them had pale expressions, and even their heartbeat was so faint that anyone would think they were dead.
It made him wonder what poison was fed to them to put them in such a convincing death state.
Nonetheless, he extracted the poison from within them, which was actually easier than he expected, and placed it in a small tube.
"Since he left it with me, I guess examining it will also be allowed" He smiled faintly as he stored it away.
Shortly after, the two began trembling and their eyes shot open. Zabuza immediately jumped up and tried to reach for his blade, only to realise it was no longer with him, whilst Haku stood in front of him with a fierce expression.
"..."
However, they looked around, and the environment was not one bit familiar, with a pale man staring at them...
"Who are you, and where are we" Haku said in a low voice, he noticed that Zabuza was still very weak, so he was incredibly tense.
Orochimaru stared at them
"You're in my hideout at the moment, as for who I am..." Orochimaru chuckled
"You may call me Orochimaru"
"One of the three sannins!" Zabuza uttered in shock
Orochimaru nodded with a gleeful expression, relishing their feelings of fear and nervousness. In front of Naruto, that brat didn't fear him one bit, and even turned him into a woman for a few minutes!
"Did you...save us?" Haku asked hesitantly
Orochimaru shook his head as he pointed at Zabuza's arm
"I was asked by someone to take care of you for the moment, so while you're here, I may as well fix that up for you"
Despite what he said, the two didn't let their guards down one bit, and was prepared to attack at any moment despite knowing who they're against.
This gave Orochimaru a headache
"Dammit, that brat owes me one for taking care of such annoying patients" He grumbled as he released a purple mist that caused the two to weaken significantly.
They dropped to the ground, paralysed and had their chakra sealed.
'Not again...' The two wanted to cry, first, it was Naruto with his strange poison, now, it was Orochimaru!
Why do they keep getting poisoned!?
But a while later, they realised that he truly had no ill intentions...or, rather, he held back his ill intentions. He patched up Zabuza's shoulder, where the arm was completely gone, and wondered if he should help regrow the arm...
'Nah, that's the kid's problem, not mine' He decided to just make sure the two can recover, and have a place to sleep, other than that, he already began preparing for the upcoming attack.
"Who asked you to help us?" Haku asked
"A damned brat" He replied
???
If he was helping him, why was he cursing at him?
"What is his name?" Haku asked
Orochimaru clicked his tongue
"Naruto Uzumaki" He replied
!!!!!!
-Back to Naruto-
"A little to the left" Naruto said
*Bang*
"Stop! Why are you aiming at me!" Jiraiya ran frantically as a massive sword swung down on him
He quickly concealed himself and vanished from his previous spot
"Where is he!" Underneath Naruto, was a giant toad, also known as Gamabunta, Gamakichi's father, as well as the boss of the toads.
"Slightly to the right of that tree, he's running north" Naruto replied
Without hesitation, Gamabunta lifted the blade and sliced down
*Bang*
"DAMMIT! I really didn't summon you! And why are you letting that brat sit on your head so easily!" Jiraiya screamed as he kept running
"Humph! Who else but you can summon me! As for the brat, he can locate you, so why not!" Gamabunto yelled back as he slammed the blade down towards Jiraiya once more
Gamakichi stared at Naruto in silence, he was here the whole time, and he knew...Naruto was the one who summoned Gamabunta! And without hesitation, he acted like a victim as he screamed "Jiraiya, why'd you summon a giant toad under me! Get me down!"...
Immediately, Gamabunta was angered and began attacking Jiraiya. To make it all the worse, Naruto seems to be able to see through Jiraiya's concealment jutsu, and helped Gamabunta find him, which allowed for him to ride on his head without issues...
"Oh, he's underground right now" Naruto said
"Jiraiya, get out right now!" Gamabunta yelled
Underground, Jiraiya sneered at that, why should he get out just because they asked?
However, he didn't realise a small mark on his back that started to glow...
Naruto summoned one rasengan and...
*Whoosh*
He threw it to the side and snapped his finger, teleporting it away...
As for where...
*Bang*
The ground exploded as Jiraiya was knocked sky high with a rasengan on his back!
"F***********K!" He screamed as he entered Gamabunta's vision
"Die you b*stard!" Gamabunta screamed
"Naruto you two faced son of a b*tch!" Jiraiya cursed aloud in that instant
*Bang*
[You humans and your manipulation...you can't be trusted] Kurama growled in a low voice
'I didn't manipulate him...much'
[It's a miracle that you haven't been beaten to death with that attitude of yours]
'It's cause I'm awesome' Naruto responded
After a while of messing around with Jiraiya, Naruto finally got bored and teleported back home in an instant.
"Man, seals are awesome, I should have learned it much earlier" He stretched his arms and grinned
Prior to this, he only had the kunais with the marks that allowed him to teleport, so he couldn't keep one in his house as a checkpoint. Now, however, he was able to create his own, and just leave them wherever he wants.
As for Jiraiya...he was still being chased by Gamabunta without even noticing Naruto was gone.
"Let's get back to experi-"
*Knock*
"Urgh, why do I keep getting interrupted!" He sighed and walked to the door
"Who is it, and it better be a good reaso-...*cough*, sup Ino" Naruto greeted awkwardly when he saw the blonde girl at the door.
Her arms on her waist as she stepped in with a huff
"Humph, so I can't come without a good reason?" She asked
"No, you can come in whenever you want" Naruto smiled and led her in
*Shing*
"Ah...sh*t" Naruto realised...he forgot to deactivate the seals in his house!
The moment Ino took a step into the room, she was instantly tied up and had her chakra sealed!
"...um, s-sorry" Naruto quickly deactivated the seals and got her down
Ino was in disbelief! What just happened! Why is she tied up!? And why is her chakra sealed!?
-Two minutes later-
Naruto was kneeling in front of Ino with his arms up in the air
"I said I was sorry, jeez" Naruto grumbled
*Sigh*
Ino shook her head
"I can't believe you, to actually forget to deactivate the seals because you were so engrossed in it" She sighed as she stared at him.
She leaned down and pinched his cheeks
"Will you do it again?"
"Not until you grow up" Naruto blurted out and quickly covered his mouth
"..."
"OW OW OW OW! It's a joke! Breaking! My arms are breaking!" Naruto screamed as Ino had her feet planted on his back whilst she grabbed both his arms.
After a while, Ino let go and sat down
'Not until I gr-grow up? So he is actually into that type of play' Ino hid her flushed expression and her beating heart, what he said made her extremely shy.
Naruto was on the ground, groaning in pain
"Anyway, why weren't you at the training grounds recently? Guy sensei has been bothering me lately, asking where you were" Ino asked
"Ah, as you can see, I'm researching seals, it worked pretty well, no?" Naruto chuckled
"A little too well" Ino squinted her eyes at him as he laughed awkwardly
"Well, I'm an Uzumaki after all, if I don't learn about seals, who will?" He snapped his fingers, and all the seals in the room lit up, showing Ino where each of them were hidden.
"That many!?" Ino looked around in shock, unable to understand he was able to do this much in just a few days.
Naruto nodded, he was quite proud of his current progress, and wanted to experiment on just a few more seals before laying his hand on Minato's jutsus. Though he felt he would learn them much faster as the concepts are much simpler than that of the seals.
"Do you want a few? I can make some for you if you wish" He smiled
"What do they do?"
"They're all quite simple, sealing chakra, tying people up, and sealing people inside a coin" He replied
"Aren't those quite impressive? I couldn't even move when I stepped on it" Ino gasped
Naruto fell silent for a bit, and he decided to change his mind on continuing his research.
"Ino, let's train together from today onwards" Naruto said
"Hm? Why?" Ino asked
Naruto looked a little solemn as he placed his hand on her hand
"Ino...I'm scared" He said
Ino giggled
"What could possibly scare you? A nut case like you hardly knows fear" She laughed
"Ino!" Naruto called out, surprising her
"It's you...I'm scared you will get hurt, and...I...I don't want to lose anyone else, okay?" Naruto held her hands tightly as his shoulders trembled, after parting ways with both his parents in his mindscape, the worry of losing those around him became much more apparent.
"I don't want anything to happen to you, not when I'm finally finding proper happiness in my daily life" Naruto said
"Na-kun..."
*Knock*
"Ow!" Ino suddenly knocked his head and grinned
"Then as you said, let's train together, make me stronger then" She said with a bright smile
Naruto looked up at her, and let out a faint laughter
"Hahahaha, dammit Ino, and here I was, being so serious, but thanks, I'll be sure to train you well" Naruto said
[Sounds as improper as it did last time]
And indeed, Ino quickly turned red upon hearing that. Tr-Train her well? Her mind flashed with all sorts of strange thoughts as steam started to rise from her head...
"What's wrong?" Refusing to admit that what he said sounded wrong, Naruto pretended to be innocent as he asked.
"N-Nothing" Ino fanned herself with her hand and replied
'It just means training, nothing weird, what am I thinking' She groaned in her head, regretting about thinking of strange things.
[You beast]
'Oi, you're the beast here'
[I'm a literal beast, and you're a metaphoric one] Kurama sneered
'...'
With that in mind, Naruto decided that the first thing that he wants Ino to learn is chakra control.
He walked into another room, and came back with a small bucket of water that he placed down in front of her.
"Ino, do you know what is the foundation for everything when it comes to jutsus?" Naruto asked
"Chakra control, right?" Ino replied
Naruto nodded
He placed his hand into the water, and soon scooped up a bit. However, instead of leaving his hand, the water was formed into a ball that would not leak even a drop of water. He even tossed the water ball up and down in his hand without it breaking.
"Wow" She satred at the ball in amazement
"This is what I want to have as a standard, if you are able to handle your chakra to this degree, I believe that you will be able to improve by leaps and bounds" He said as he dropped the water back into the bucket without even making a ripple.
Ino stared at the bucket of water and reahced her hand in. However, when she scooped her hand up, the water would be contained for a second before pouring back into the bucket.
"Concentrate on the flow around your palm, imagine it to be a scoop"
"Mn" Ino concentrated, and did her best to form the water into a ball.
After a while, she was able to hold some water in her hand without it leaving her palm, however, she was unable to change it's shape in any way.
"How about a break" Naruto suggested
"No" Ino puffed up her cheeks, refusing to give up as she continued with the training
-5 days later-
Naruto led her on this training for days, and perhaps it's because she has been trained on chakra control due to her clan jutsu, she was able to get the hang of it quite quickly and finally formed it into a ball.
But no matter how much she tries, she isn't able to replicate what Naruto did, and toss it up without it dispersing. The moment it leaves her hand, the connection breaks and the water just splashes down without maintaining form.
"This is fine, practice in your spare time, and you will get the hang of it, now, we can move into more practical training" Naruto said
"Don't tell me...is it body training? I don't wanna" Ino groaned
"Not quite" Naruto replied
"Use the mind body disturbance jutsu on me" Naruto said
Ino sat over and struck his chest with her palm, whilst her chakra invaded his body in an attempt to gain control over his body. However, the moment it entered, she felt as if she hit a steel plate as her chakra was directly blocked from his body.
"How? It was a direct hit" She gasped
"Chakra control is essential, but I also just have a denser chakra pool, so it's not easy to invade my body, what I want to teach you is how to break through these types of situations" He said calmly
"Oh? Tell me" Ino's ears perked up with interest
Naruto condensed some chakra in his hand so she could see it visually
"This is how your chakra tried to invade my body" He said as the chakra became like waves that was washing around in his hand.
"Uh huh" She nodded, as pushing chakra into someone was similar tp pumping water, letting it spread through their body like rivers.
"But this method would be stopped if the opponent is on guard, and use their chakra to force yours out, so what you need to do is weave your way through it" The chakra on his hand suddenly became like strings as it wriggled around, weaving through the air as if it were alive.
The end of each strand was thin, like a needle.
Ino stared at this scene in awe, thinking that this might actually work. She decided to give it a try, and quickly slapped Naruto's chest once more with her palm.
Her chakra quickly poured out, and tried to invade his body once more. However, like before, it was blocked out...
"It didn't work" She puffed her cheeks up and said
"It did" He replied
"But I couldn't even get through at all" She huffed
"You did, just a tiny bit, but my chakra pool is just much bigger, so your chakra couldn't invade my body"
"Cheater, I'm ignoring you" Ino pouted as she crossed her arms
Naruto leaned closer
"Then how do I get your forgiveness" He asked, whispering into her ears, making her body soften.
"Y-You...d-don't do that again and I'll forgive you" She covered her ears and said as her face slowly became pinkish.
"Do what?" Naruto asked innocently
"Wh-Whisper into my ears" She mumbled
"Oh, sorry, no" He replied
"Why not" Ino pouted again
"Cause it's you" He replied
"..."
[What a flirt, boo hoo, my jinchuriki is a playboy]
'Kurama, I swear, I will end you'
[I'd like to see you try] He sneered back
'Don't think I don't have a way to make you beg me for forgiveness' Naruto scowled
[Humph, then try] Kurama didn't back down
"Ino, one moment, I need to do something real quick" Naruto smiled as he sat down cross legged and closed his eyes.
"Oh" Ino nodded, still processing what he said as her face became more and more red.
-Inside the mind scape-
"Kurama, are you prepared to face the consequences!" Naruto crossed his arms and said
[Heh, come on, you brat]
Naruto crossed his hands together
"Forbidden ship no jutsu: Uchiha founder's steaming hot mess with the first Hokage, Madara X Hashirama!" Naruto yelled
[F**k! Stop! Don't you f**king do it!]
Kurama covered his eyes with his paws and screamed in fear...that's right, fear...
*Puff*
Two clones were made, and they both transformed, one into Madara Uchiha, whilst the other became Hashirama Senju.
[You won't! You will need to make out with yourself if you do that! Not to mention, they're transformed as Hashi-b*tch and Mada-c*nt] Kurama screamed
Madara placed one hand on Hashirama's chest
"What a strong figure, as expected of my rival" He said as his hand slid down to Hashirama's armour to slowly remove it.
"What efficiency, I expect no less from you, Ma-kun"
[ENOUGH! I'm sorry! Please, just stop this cursed duo! I'm begging you!] Kurama truly began to plead at this moment, almost getting the urge to leave Naruto's body just to escape...
In fact, if it wouldn't kill him, he'd have actually done it...
*Puff*
The two clones vanished, and Naruto stood in front of Kurama with a proud look of victory.
"Heh, that'll show you" He said
[Do you not feel disgusted in any way you damn perv!]
"Not at all, since I know it's myself, then it only means that the most perfect and handsome thing to exist is making out with itself, it's a beautiful art" He replied as his eyes shone brightly
[...one of these days, you WILL get what is coming for you]
"Maybe, but it surely won't be now" Naruto laughed as he exited the mind scape.
-Outside-
"I'm done, did I miss anything" Naruto opened his eyes and asked
Ino shook her head, her face was still a little hot, but she had calmed down significantly.
*knock*
At this moment, another knock came from the door.
"Who is it now?" Naruto sighed as he walked over and opened the door.
What he was met with was a tall man, who had the same eye and hair colour as Ino.
"Is Ino here?" He asked, and from his eyes, Naruto could feel...a strong killing intent...
Why?
"She's just inside" He nodded
"I see..." The man nodded
He suddenly grabbed Naruto by the shoulders...
*Creek*
"S-Sir, I don't think my shoulders should be making that sound...you're holding a bit tight" If it was just anyone, he'd have fought back, but this isn't just anyone!
"Why is my baby girl in your house for so long, and why has she been coming home so late as of the past few days" He asked with eyes filled with rage, and Naruto swears that he sees the aura of a tailed beast rise from him.
[Do I sense my siblings?]
'F**k, how much hatred is needed for him to be like this!'Naruto gasped
[I think I feel one tail worth of rage from him...]
!!!!
