Chapter 33: Chapter 32 Naruto's Life, Training, A Line That Shouldn't Have Been Crossed

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

There were several things going around in Asura's mind when he heard the child's name. He knew that he heard that name somewhere. The gears in his mind clicked which made him realized who this boy was and what world is this. Naruto Uzumaki. He knows things about this boy. May be he can help. Of course he would help this child. Naruto does not deserve to go through this abuse.

Asura decided that he would help Naruto but will keep the info about him a secret. He began to make plans to help Naruto in ways this world would accept. Plenty of steps must be taken to help him.

*Grumble*

Asura came out of his thought when he heard a stomach grumble that came from Naruto. The child blush a bit and said, "Sorry. I haven't eaten anything for a week."

Asura was very hurt by this. For a 6 years old child to be starving like this was unacceptable.

Asura said, "So what do you want to eat Naruto?"

Naruto was a bit hesitant and said, "But .. but I have no money?"

This also hurt Asura. To be poor and no one to help this child. What a corrupted village this is. Maybe he should just kill everyone in this damn village and be done with it.

Asura sigh to calm his anger and said, "I have no need to money Naruto. You can ask me anything to eat and eat as mush as you want. From now on, you won't be going hungry. Ever!"

Naruto was shocked by this. For someone to give him free food .... only the ramen stand owners gave him free food.

Naruto gulped and said, "Um can I .. get some Miso Ramen?"

Asura smiled and said, "Sure thing Naruto."

With a snap of his finger, a bowl of Miso Ramen was created out of nothingness. This made Naruto eyes go wide in shock and jaws agape. Asura gave Naruto his ramen and watch him ate it quickly. He was very hungry. Asura gave him a few more ramen until Naruto's stomach was full. After Naruto was stuff, he lay on the bed to rest.

Naruto said, "Thank you for the food Asura."

Asura said, "Your welcome Naruto."

After being silent for a while, Naruto asked, "Um Mr Asura?"

Asura said with a smile, "Please Naruto. Don't add Mr to my name. It makes me sound so old. Just call be by my name."

Naruto nodded and said, "Okay. Can you tell me who you are?"

Asura smiled and said, "Sure I can."

Asura walk around and look at him. He said, "I .. Am ... An Alien!"

Silence.

Naruto was silence for a while and said, "An Alien? Your an alien?"

Asura nodded and said, "Sure I am."

Naruto said, "I don't believe you."

Asura said, "Its the truth. I came from another dimension because I felt that someone from this world was suffering and needed my help."

Naruto said, "Give me some proof."

Asura asked, "What?"

Naruto said, "Give me some solid proof that you are who you say you are."

Asura nodded and said, "Sure. Want to see something impossible? Like for say, flying pigs!"

Naruto said, "What?"

Asura snap his finger and some pigs came out of no where with wings. The pigs began to fly around which made Naruto eyes wide in disbelief.

Asura said, "Want to see a walking fish?"

Asura snap his finger and a bunch of small fishes with legs came out of no where and began to run around. Naruto's eyes widen more at this.

Asura said, "Want to see living furniture? Singing seals? Dancing flowers?

Asura snap his fingers several times and created things out of nothingness. Several furniture were first created and then they came to life as they began to talk with each other. A group of seals were created who began to sing a song. A patch of flowers were created that began to sway around like they were dancing.

Naruto's eyes just keep on getting bigger and bigger as he saw the impossible things. But his eyes widen to the max at what Asura did next.

Asura said, "And last but not least, The Singing Frog!"

With a snap of his finger, a small green frog was created that just sat on the floor as it look at the child with its slump eyes. The frog croaked at the child which made him look at Asura with a confused expression. Asura just smiled and pointed towards the frog. Naruto look a the frog again and saw that the frog pulled out a small hat and a cane out of no where.

The frog put the small hat on its head and stand on its back legs. Then it proceed to do that shattered the mind of the child. The frog sang and dance at the same time.

Hello, ma baby, hello, ma honey
Hello, ma ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse me
Honey, you lose me
Then you'll be left alone, oh baby
Telephone and tell me I'se your own

After singing for a while, the frog sat back on the floor and croaked. Asura snap his finger and everything he created for the child's amusement disappeared. Naruto just look at Asura with comically huge eyes and his jaw was on the floor.

Asura smiled and said, "Well?"

Naruto came out of his shock and pointed at him with a shaky finger. He stammered, "You ... you ... you .. you ..."

Asura said, "Yyyeeeesssss?"

Naruto gulped and said, "How did you do all of that!?"

Asura simply said, "Magic."

Naruto blinked and said, "Magic?"

Asura nodded and said, "Magic."

Naruto said again, "Magic?"

Asura nodded and said, "Magic."

Naruto said, "Mmmmaaaaggggiiiiiiccccc?"

Asura said, "Yes. Magic."

Naruto blinked and said, "Magic? Like that fairy tale thing where with a wave of a wand makes something completely that goes everything against the law of the universe? That magic?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yup. That thing."

Naruto said, "But how can you do that and those weird things? It doesn't make any sense."

Asura said, "Its magic. Nuff said. Don't need to explain shit. Its self explanatory."

Naruto mind began to shatter as he witness things that shouldn't be possible. He started to sway around as he got dizzy and fell back on the bed.

Naruto held his head and said, "Ow. My head hurts."

This made Asura laugh and said, "No need to thing about it Naruto. Different world, different laws and such. I can do things that go against the universal laws and theories."

Naruto has stars in his eyes when he look at Asura. He said, "So coo!"

Asura smiled and said, "Now Naruto. I have told you who I am. Now its your turn to tell me a bit about yourself."

Naruto happy face became a sad one as he look down. He said, "I don't think you need to know about me. I'm no one special."

Asura said, "Nonsense. Everyone is special in their own way. Come on. You can tell me. I won't hate you or anything."

Naruto gulped and said, "Well, like I said my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm 6 year old. I like Ramen Ichiraku that serve ramen. I like Teuchi and his daughter Ayame who run that shop. They are the ones who give me free food and are nice to me. There is also Mikoto who is kind to me and her two sons Itachi and Sasuke. There are some other people from clans that have been kind to me. Other than them, everyone else hate for some reason."

Asura saw how sad Naruto was. 'Well, there are at least some people who don't hate him' thought Asura as he continued listening to the boy.

Naruto said, "I don't like the villagers much as they call me ... call me d-demon boy or demon brat or murderer and such."

Asura eyes widen at that. How could the people of his village blame a child for things he did not do. He thought that he should just kill everyone in this village and destroy it from the face of this world! Yeah. That would be great for everyone. Only the ones who were kind to Naruto would be spared but before doing that, that is still one more thing he needs to know.

Asura asked, "Naruto. What about your parents? Don't they stop others from calling you names and beating you?"

When he asked that, Naruto began tiff as a board. Soon his face became sad, lower his head and tears began to fall from his eyes. He was shaking up from this but why? Asura's mind stopped at what he heard next.

Naruto said, "M-my m-mom and d-dad don't care a-about m-me. They don't e-even think I am their s-son."

Asura was scowling with rage. How can parents do this to their own flesh and blood! He asked, "Why don't they care about you?"

Naruto sniff a bit and said, "Because they care more about my siblings than me."

Asura mind stop and asked, "Siblings?"

Naruto nodded and said, "I have two siblings. I am the eldest son. Menma is my younger brother and Narumi is my little sister. We were born at the same time with my mother giving birth to me first and then my brother and then my sister."

Asura though 'How can Naruto has siblings? Shouldn't he be the only child and shouldn't his parents be dead? This is not what happened in Naruto's life. So the Naruto of this world has a different life, where his parents some how survive and has siblings as well.'

Asura asked, "Then why don't you brother and sister help you? You are their big brother."

Naruto sadly shook his head and said, "No. They don't care about me. They are just like my mom and dad. In fact they are worse than them. Menma is really arrogant. He mocks and hurt me. Narumi blames things on me for which I get punished for."

Asura asked, "Just like that? Don't they need proof of the blames that you are being blamed for?"

Naruto said, "No. Mom and dad think that Menma and Narumi are so perfect that they can't do anything bad. They think I am the bad one who does things that shame the family's name. They don't believe me for anything and will always listen to my siblings." He began to cry softly.

Asura was getting pissed off really bad. At the moment, he want's nothing more than to charge at Naruto's family house and destroy them completely but not without the boy's permission.

Asura asked, "Who are your parents?"

Naruto sniff and said, "My dad is Minato Namikaze and my mother is Kushina Uzumaki. My dad is the Fourth Hokage (village leader) of Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)."

Now Asura was getting incredibly angry at this village and the boy's family. The boy was the son of this village's leader and yet, they hurt him. And what's up with his fucking family! How dare they ignore Naruto and only focus their attention on their other two son and daughter! How dare Minato let the villagers hurt his son and do nothing!

Asura look at Naruto and saw that he was still crying. He sigh and rubbed the boy's head. He said, Sleep for now Naruto. After a good rest, well see what to do."

Asura cast a sleeping spell on the boy who fell back on the bed. Asura then put his hand on the sleeping boy's forehead and went into his mind. He needs to see what has happened in his life and from it, he will see what he needs to do in this world.

Inside Naruto's Mind

When Asura entered the mind of Naruto, he found himself in a sewer like area. There were huge pipes on the walls and ceiling. The floor was on under water that reached up ti his ankle. He ignored this as he already knew about the fox. He continued to walk forwards until he reach a small door which lead to Naruto's memory. He opened and saw Naruto's life.

Asura saw from the eyes of a very young Naruto. In the first five year of the boy's life, Asura was disgusted at what he saw. He saw how the boy's parents gave almost all of their attention to Menma and Narumi. When they went shopping they would buy everything Menma and Narumi wanted but when it came to Naruto, they, sometime if they remember about their eldest son, they would buy the bare minimum for him.

The same can be said about the food. When they went out, the parents would ask them what they wanted but when Naruto offered what he wanted, they just ignore him and for some reason they were annoyed with him. The parents just listen to Menma and Naruni request. All of he time.

Asura then saw Naruto at the age of 4. He saw that the parents were starting to train Menma and Narumi in being a ninja.

Naruto's Training Memory

Naruto asked, "Dad. Can I start my training with them?"

Minato said, "Well you see Naruto, your brother and sister are special as they both have something inside of them. They need to train themselves in order to control it. That's why we need to focus our attention to them."

Naruto said, "Um okay but shouldn't I-"

Kushina said, "Naruto. Don't bother your father. He are I going to train Menma and Narumi."

Minato said, "Once they have got the hang of it in controlling the thing inside of them, well let you join their training. OK?"

Naruto lower his head and nodded. He said, "Yes dad, mom."

With this Naruto went back into his room. From his window, he saw how his dad and mom were training Menma and Narumi with loving faces.

Memory End

Asura was not happy about how they began to favor Naruto's siblings while they made excuses to train them and not him. And it seems that they also hid the truth of the nine tail fox from Naruto. Asura found that since Naruto and his family were a clan, his parents were suppose to train their children before the ninja academy. His parents neglected him and didn't train him while they continue to focus their attention on his siblings.

Another Training Memory

Asura saw that Naruto was looking through the window of him room. He was yet again denied training saying that their siblings needed more than he did. He was seeing his parents continue to train his siblings. Menma and Narumi were being trained to walk on trees with only their feet.

Minato happily said, "Good job Menma. You did very good."

Kushina said, "Good chakra control Narumi! You will be kicking other Genin (low level ninja) butts in now time!"

Minato said, "Keep going like this and I will teach you both one of my signature techniques. The Rasengan!"

Menma and Narumi eyes widen and said, "Will you? Will you?"

Kashunia laugh and said, "Yes he will. Now why don't we go out to eat as a special way of you both doing great in today's training?"

Both Menma and Narumi said, "Yes!"

Menma puffed out his chest and said, "I'll learn the Rasengan in a flash since we are the child of prophecy."

Narumi nodded and said, "Yeah! We are the ones who will save this world!"

Naruto saw his parents took his siblings outside while leaving him behind. Asura saw his vision getting blurry because Naruto was crying as he saw his family going away from him as they forget about him.

Memory End

Asura was angry at the boy's parents! How dare they left behind their eldest son just like that! How dare they forgot about him! Naruto tried to join with his family several times only to be brushed aside like a fly. Like he wasn't part of the family anymore. The worst part is Menma and Narumi have let all the attention and praise go to their heads and gained huge egos rivaling that of an Uchiha and Hyuga combined.

They were once sweet kind-hearted children who adored their older brother but after he was excluded from training, they began to view him as below them and often taunted and bullied him.

Asura calm himself and continued seeing Naruto's life. Over the year, Naruto found himself being left out little by little from family activity. He was slowly being overshadowed by others around him as his brother and sister drew more and more attention to themselves. Also, Asura saw that the children's Godmother Tsunade and Godfather Jiraiya visited them. Or more specifically, Menma and Narumi. Both Tsunade and Jiraiya were focused on his siblings and spoiled them rotten while they ignored Naruto. Naruto was slowly fading away from his family's light.

Whenever Tsunade came, she was always chatting with his family. She helped heal his sibling's wounds which they get from training. This made a strong connection between Tsunade and his siblings. However, when it came to Naruto, he noticed that her eyes gets teary before she turns and leave him.

Jiraiya also visited his family and ignored Naruto. He would teach Menma and Narumi something about being a ninja and a few Jutsu. After that, he just leave and not even take a glance at Naruto. Even in the eyes his own godparents, Jiraiya and Tsunade, he wasn't worth their time.

Asura saw how Naruto slowly and slowly became excluded from his family. They even forget about calling Naruto down to eat with them. Naruto survived so far by eating scraps and eating ramen from the ramen shop. The only time they seem to remember him is when they call him to spar with his siblings. And every time he does, he loses badly since he does not get any training from his parents. He doesn't even know anything about a ninja.

After every spar, he gets wounded while the parents congratulate his siblings in being a good ninja. They also left Naruto behind as they went back into the house. Asura saw how Naruto has to get up himself and limp back into his room. Even when he pass by his family, they don't take any notice of him. Naruto just went in his room and heal his wounds bu himself with bandages and medicine.

Asura also saw about his sibling's birthday. Since all three of them were born on the same day, the birthday is suppose to be about all three of them. But no! Naruto was forgoten by his family. The birthday was only for Menma and Narumi! Not Naruto! Then Asura continued to see the boy's life and saw another memory.

Naruto's Memory

Asura saw how Naruto was beaten by the villages and came home with wounds and scratches. When he entered his home, his parents saw how Naruto was limping towards the stair towards his room.

Kushina said, "Naruto. What happened to you. Where did you get all of those wounds?"

Naruto was a bit happy that they finally notice him. He said, "I got beat up by the villagers."

Minato shouted, "Stop lying Naruto! I trust the villagers! They would never do that sort of thing!"

Naruto flinched and said, "B-but they r-really did it .. t-they b-beat me up e-everyday-"

Minato shouted, "Silence! How dare you lie to your own father! Go up to your room! No dinner for you!"

Kushina said, "Why can't you be more like your siblings. Get out of my site!"

Naruto heart broke and went up stairs and into his room. On his small bed he curled up into a fetal position and cried himself to sleep.

Memory End

Asura was getting angrier and angrier the more memories he sees of the boy's life. All his parents saw him was a nuisance and focused all of their time on his siblings. There is something seriously wrong with this family and he will see that they are punished severely for their sins. Asura watched all of Naruto's memory and now there was only one more left.

Naruto's Final Memory

Asura saw that Naruto was running but from what. When Naruto look back, he saw that a mob of villagers were chasing him with sticks, pitch forks etc. Why were they chasing a child. He could clearly see hate in their eyes. Then he heard that pissed him off.

"Get the demon brat!"

"Kill it!"

"Don't let it run away!"

"Purge the demon!"

Naruto ran as fast as his legs could carry him. When he was about to out run the mob, a few people jumped in front of him, blocking his path. These people were ninjas but wore white animal masks. They grabbed Naruto and took him towards an alley. The mob caught up with them and began to martch towards him.

Naruto asked, "Why are you doing this? What did I do to you?"

"Shut it demon!"

"You know what you did demon!"

"You killed our loved ones!"

Naruto said, "I didn't do anything!"

The ninja punched him in his stomach making Naruto lunge back into the alley.

The ninja turn towards the mob and said, "He's all yours."

With that, the ninjas jumped away. The mob then descend upon the child and began to beat him within an inch of his life. After beating him for some time, they went away with satisfying faces. Like they did something great that they should be proud of.

Asura saw that Naruto was severely beaten. Several wounds, cut, slash, bruise etc were on his body. A blade was besides him and saw it as a means to end his pain. Naruto took the blade, aim it at his heart and plunged it into his chest. When he did, darkness overcame his sight as he fall in unconsciousness.

Memory End

This was the time when Asura found Naruto and saved him. Asura was disgusted by these .... Humans! How dare they did this kind of thing with a smile. Asura got a lot of work to do with this village. After seeing the last memory, he left Naruto's mind.

Outside Of Naruto's Mind

Asura look down at the sleeping boy with sad eyes. Here was a child who has a family but they throw him aside. Before he begins to help Naruto, he needs to find something else first. Asura used "Kamui" to leave this dimension for the Ninja world.

Hidden Leaf Village

Asura landed in the same alley where he found Naruto. He used magic to make himself invisible and used "Kamui" to make himself intangible. He also cast magic that make him odorless and soundless. After that, Asura jumped towards the Hokage tower. He want's some answers from Naruto's father. Minato.

Hokage Mansion

In the building's office, a man sat on a chair in front of a desk. He have bright, blue eyes and spiky, blond hair. He looked like an adult version of Naruto. This man was none other than Minato Namikaze who was busy signing several papers.

Minato didn't even detected the presence of an outsider. That outsider was Asura who phase threowgh the wall and walk towards Minato. He then lightly touched his forehead with his hand. With the touch, Asura went inside Minato's mind.

Minato's Mind

Asura was now inside Minato's mind. He walked straight towards the door that held Minato's memory. He immediately opened it and looked at the Hokage's memories.

Minato's Memory

Asura saw Minato standing beside his wife within a hidden cave. The walls have several torch lights that gave a source of light. Ah this must be the time Kushina gave birth to Naruto and his siblings. The cave they were in was covered in tons of seals that were meant to hold the nine tail fox that was inside Kushina. Asura saw Kushina on a bed and she was struggling to give birth to her children while he hold a death grip on her husband's hand.

Kushina screamed, "Minato! I'm going to kill you for doing this to me!"

Kushina face grimace as flashes of pain came across her sweating brow.

Minato whimpered as his hands were being crushed by her wife, "Come on honey. Your almost there. You'll be fine. You are crushing my hand here-*Crack* Ahhhh!"

Kushina shouted, "Don't you honey me Mr Hokage! AHHHHHHHH!"

There was a old women who was helping Kushina with her giving birth. She was Biwako Sarutobi, wife of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Biwako said, "Push Kushina. You are almost there."

Kushina screamed out again as the contractions picked up cutting her worlds off which were soon replaced by her labored breaths. As Kushina pushed out her first child, Biwako moved forward to receive the baby.

Minato was in pain as his hands were being crushed by his wide. He prayed that the birthing would be over soon so he would be free from his suffering but that didn't happened. His suffering only prolonged as the birthing was longer than he would have thought possible as each child came out one by one but after what seemed like an eternity, his suffering came to an end.

Minato look down at his three small children. All of them had beautiful faces that were scrunched up and were crying. Minato was crying tears of joy as he look down at his newborn children. He took two of his children to his wife while Biwako held the eldest in her arms. Kushina smiled as she gazed upon her children's small forms.

Biwako asked, "What do you want to name them Kushina?"

Kushina look at her children and name them from youngest to eldest, "I want to name her Narumi. Her brother's name will be Menma and my eldest son will be named Naruto. They will all grow up to be strong like us. A happy family."

Kushina slowly reached forwards towards her children as Minato moved forward to give her the babies. However, before she could held her children, everything went down the wrong way.

Biwako said, "Come Kushina. Lets get you out of her-"

*Slash*

A man wearing a brown spiral mask appeared out of nowhere and quickly killed Sarutobi's wife with a single slash. Biwako's corpse fell on the ground and lay there in her own blood. The mask man then took a child, that was Naruto, in his hand and held a kunai to the baby's throat. The man was tall, wearing a robe of ebony black, with a hood covering his barely visible short spiky hair. His mask held a single eye hole.

The man said, "Now now. We can't have our precious Jinchuuriki leave just yet, can we?"

Minato was about to charge him when the mask man brought the kunai closer to the baby's throat. He threaten, "One wrong step Yondaime and your child here will die right now. Comply with my demands and no one gets hurt."

Minato eyes harden and asked, "Who are you?"

The mask man said, "Step away from the Jinchuuriki."

However Minato didn't moved from his position as he stood in front of his wife with his other two children.

The mask man said, "Do you not care what happens to you little brat?"

Minato with the babies in his arms said, "Stay calm! No one needs to get hurt!"

The mask man said, "Speak for yourself. I am extremely calm."

The mask man knew that Minato would not move from his position. So he made a move that will force him to move. The mask man threw Naruto up in the air and threw a kunai at the baby. Minato's eyes widen and within a flash of yellow light, he disappeared.

*Clunk*

The kunai that was thrown at the baby, hit the ceiling. Not the baby. Where was the baby? The mask man look behind him and saw Minato with all three of his children. Minato grabbed Naruto with one of his special moves. The Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

The mask man said, "You are fast Yondaime. Very fast but ... are you fast enough?"

Minato didn't know what the man meant by that but his attention was brought by the sound of something sizzling. He look down and saw that there were some explosive tags on Naruto's blanket in which he was wrapped in.

*Booom*

A huge explosion took place which cracked the walls of the cavern. Rocks fell from the ceiling. Heavy smoke spiraled out of the cavern's entrance. A yellow flash of light sparked into existence near a kunai that was pinned to a tree several meters away from the cavern. When the light subsided, Minato was standing there with all three of his children in hos arms, unharmed.

Minato grumbled, "Ugh! I need to get them somewhere safe!"

With another burst of yellow light, he was gone. After giving his children into safer hands, Minato warped back into a clearing that was away from the village. His eyes widen when he saw that the nine tail fox was free and was rampaging through his village. He shed a single tear as he saw smoke and fire coming from his beloved village.

Minato growled, "You'll pay for this."

"Will I? Prove it? Come at me, Yondaime." The mask man said as he swirled into existence behind Minato.

Minato quickly spun around, with a Rasengan in his hand and thrust it into the mask man's face. However, to his surprise, the attack just phased through the mask man, along with his arm. Before pulling back, Minato quickly formed a seal on the mask man's back. After that, Minato quickly jumped back while pulling out two kunai that had 3 blades in the end. He skid on the ground and crouched down a he got ready to fight this mysterious enemy.

The mask man shot out twin chains, tipped with spikes, from his robes at Minato with intent of skewing him. However, Minato quickly threw one of his kunai into the air and warped towards it. After that, Minato landed on the chain and began to ran towards the mask man. He jumped from chain to chain and appeared right in front of the mask man.

To confuse the enemy, Minato quickly wrapped behind the mask man, to the seal that he placed on him. He quickly formed a Rasengan an thrust it at the mask man's back but it phased through the man again. The chains that the mask man shot, came back and wrapped around the Yondaime. The mask man thought that he got him but Minato puffed our of existence in smoke.

"A shadow clone? When did he-"

The mask man didn't get to finish his sentence before the ground split apart, revealing Minato who jumped out with a Rasengan coming towards the man's mask. When the Rasengan touched the mask, a small crack formed on it before the attack phase through the mask and the man. Minato took note of this and quickly wrapped back into a tree.

The mask man said, "Impressive, Yondaime. You are fast indeed. To actually manage to crack my mask is an amazing feat. You are truly deserving you title but alas, all good things must come to an end."

The two shinobi charge at each other. The mask man ran towards Minato with his twin chains flailing behind him while Minato threw his kunai at him. The kunai phased through the mask man's had and flew out the other end. The mask man ignored the kunai as he was about to reach Minato. But that didn't happen.

As the mask man was about to touch the Yondaime, Minato disappeared and reappeared above the enemy with a Rasengan spiraling in his hand.

The mask man shouted in shock, "What?"

This one second of shock was all Minato needed as he slammed into the enemy's back.

*Boom*

The mask man slammed on the ground which was destroyed by the attack. The Rasengan blast dirt and rocks away with a wave of chakra that was released from the attack.

"Flying Thunder God Second Step you bastard!"

Minato shouted with a smirk as he pushed the Rasengan further into the man's back before feeling him disappear. He stopped his attack and saw the mask man swirling into existence away from him.

The mask man said, "I see. You are indeed formidable Yondaime. But I fear that its time for me to-"

The mask man stopped when he felt something burning through his body. He look at his back and saw a seal that was shining a bright yellow.

The mask man asked, "What is this?"

"RRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!"

The mask man look back at the nine tail fox who was preparing a Bijudama. However, the attack collapsed when the fox stopped it and shook his head. The eyes of the fox were spinning fast as the tomoe in them faded out of existence, before finally settling on slit pupils.

The mask man was shocked to see the nine tail fox was no longer under his control.

The mask man said, "Y-you disconnected me from the nine tails! How dare you! When did you did this!"

Minato said, "When I hit you with my Rasengan. Face it. You lost your control over the nine tail fox. Your reign of terror is over."

The mask man snarled, "This is not the last time you hear of me Minato. This is not the last time you will hear the name Madara!"

With that, Madara single red eye spun and his body disappear in a swirl before fading away out of existence. With Madara out of the way for now, Minato turn towards the village and saw the nine tail fox. He quickly disappeared in a flash of yellow light.

Minato warped back into the cave where his wife was chained into the wall. He felt fear that she was dead but when he came closer he saw that Kushina was still breathing.

Minato sigh in relief and said, "Thank the god you okay."

Kushina was awake and said, "Minato .... the Kyuubi ... where are my babies?"

Minato cut off the chains and grabbed his wife. He said, "They are fine. The Kyuubi is free and is rampaging throughout the village."

Kushina said, "I want to be with my babies. Take me to them please."

Minato nodded and said, "Hold on tight."

With a flash of yellow, they both disappeared and reappeared into a building where the babies were sleeping. Kushina walk towards them and embraced her children in a loving hug. She spend a few minuted with her babies before they heard the fox's roar. Minato look from the window and saw Hiruzen fighting the gigantic fox with a squad of shinobi. Minato look at the fight and knew he needs to do something.

Minato walk towards his wife and said, "Kushina. I need to stop the Kyuubi. And to do that, I will need the children."

Kushina eyes widen and said, "Minato! What do you think you are saying!? How could you do that to your own children!?"

Minato lowered his head and said, "I know Kushina. I love my children very much. But as a Hokage, the village comes first and then family. I need to save this village Kushina. Please."

Kushina shed tears and said nothing. Minato took all three of his children and disappeared in a flash of yellow light. When he was gone, Kushina fell on the bed where her babies were sleeping and started crying.

Minato appeared on top of the building. From there, he saw Hiruzen and a group of shinobis fighting the fox. When Hiruzen got a good hit on the fox which made it daze a bit, he shouted, "Now! Push this thing out of the village!"

"Sir!" Shouted the hundreds of ninjas. All of the ninjas made some hand sign and shouted together.

"Fire Style Fireball"

All of the ninjas shot their attack simultaneously at the giant fox. The sky was blazing as thousands of fireballs soar through the air and slammed into the Kyuubi.

*Boom*

It was a huge explosion that was enough to make the giant fox backpedal a bit. This was a chance where the fox became defenseless for a few seconds and Hiruzen took it.

Hiruzen launched himself at the fox as his staff elongated into a weapon fit for beating the giant enemy in front of him. He slammed his huge staff into the fox's snout and shouted, "And stay out! You over grown fox!"

The fox was launched right pass the walls of the village. It fall on the outskirts of the village. When the Kyuubi was down, the rest of the ninjas followed it but stopped when it raised its head, opened its mouth and began to charge a Bijudama.

Minato saw this and quickly throw one of his kauni into the sky. He appeared right above the fox and formed some hand signs

Minato shouted, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu" (Summoning Technique)

The ninjas below were preparing to engage the fox but with a loud *Puff* coming from the sky, a huge shadow covered the fox.

"Not so fast! You bastard!"

Came the loud voice of a gigantic being that crashed landed on the fox's head, crushing its muzzle which stopped its attack. That Gigantic being was a giant frog called Gamabunta. On top of the frog's head was Minato who held his three children.

Gamabunta said, "Minato! Now. Do it now while I still got it! I can't keep him down forever!"

Minato shouted, "I know!"

Minato jumped down from the frog's head and landed on the fox's head. He made some seals and shouted, "Hiraishin no Jutsu"! (Flying Thunder God)

Minato, his three children along with the fox were enveloped in a golden glow. Then they flashed off into the distance, towards the site where he fought Madara. The fox crashed on the ground. Thus dazing it a bit. This was all Minato needed.

Minato thought 'The only way Kushina was able to hold the full might of the Kyuubi was because she was old enough to keep it chained, yet young enough that her chakra network could develop to control it. There is no way, Naruto would be able to hold all of its chakra alone. I'm going to have to split it into all three of my children.'

Minato put his children down and formed some hand signs. He shouted, "Shiki Fujin" (Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal)

As soon as he said this, a cold crushing aura descended upon the land which halted the Kyuubi in its tracks. The sky grew dark and storm clouds brew. A sound of bells ringing echoed throughout the land. A terrifying being began to phased into existence that made every living being tremble in its presence. Minato summoned the God of the Dead, The Shinigami.

The air begin to warped as the Shinigami raised his arm into the air, his sleeve falling down that revealed the seal marking twisting down his arm. The Shinigami plunged his hand into Minato's back which made the Yondaime puke some blood out from his mouth. From Minato's stomach, a ghostly arm came out and flew towards the Kyuubi. The ghostly arm grabbed the fox and pulled out all of the Kyuubi's chakra.

The Shinigami did what Minato held fox's chakra in his hand. Minato then proceed to seal the fox's chakra into Menma and Narumi by using Hakke no Fuin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing Style). The Kyubi's chakra that the Shinigami held began to flow into the two babies and were sealed into them. Now the Kyuubi was without any chakra. Only its soul remained. The Shinigami ghostly arm grabbed the Kyuubi's soul and Minato sealed it into Naruto.

After that was done, Minato fell on the ground in exhaustion. He look at his children and smiled.

Minato said, "I hope you all grow up to be great heroes of our village, my children."

Minato said this because he knew that he was about to die. Using this Jutsu cost the user's life.

The Shinigami floated towards him and said, "Are you ready mortal?"

Minato sigh and nodded. He said, "Yes I am."

Shinigami reach down and proceed to take his soul. Minato closed his eyes as he was about to die.

"Stop!"

Shinigami stopped and look at the one who dare to stop him. Minato look back and saw Hiruzen.

Minato said, "Sensei? What are you doing here?"

Hiruzen said, "Saving your life Minato."

Minato said, "But Sensei. I used-"

Hiruzen said, "I know Minato. I know."

Hiruzen came towards the Shinigami and bowed before him. He said, "Shinigami-sama. Please spare Minato's life. He is needed for the future of this village."

Shinigami said, "If I spare his life, then what do I get in compensation? He has summoned me and every time one does, I require a sacrifice."

Hiruzen said, "Then I give you my life. Take my soul in place of Minato."

Minato's eyes widen and said, "Sensei! What are you doing? You can't give your life for me!"

Hiruzen said, "Minato. I have become so old and needs rest. You on the other hand are young. This village needs you Minato. For the good of the village, you need to live."

Minato said, "But but what about-"

Hiruzen said, "I already know what happened Minato. My wife died not because the Kyuubi was released but because of the one responsible for ripping out the fox from Kushina. Please Minato, let me rest."

Minato lower his head as he accepted his Sensei's wish. Hiruzen look at Shinigami and said, "Will you take my soul in Minato's place?"

Shinigami said, "I see. Very well. I accept you soul in place of Minato."

Hiruzen smiled and said, "Thank you Shinigami-sama. Goodbye Minato. Take good care of your children. Train them to be the ones who carry the Will of the Fire."

Minato smiled sadly and said, "I will Sensei. I promise. Goodbye."

The Shinigami reached down and ripped out Hiruzen soul and ate it. Then he slowly faded out of existence. Hiruzen body fell down dead after his soul was taken. Minato look down at his Sensei's body in sorrow. With a sigh, he grabbed his children and his Hiruzen's body. All of them disappeared in a yellow light.

Memory End

Asura was really touch by Hiruzen's sacrifice. He gave away his own life in order to keep Minato alive. But what happened afterwards. He looked at another memory.

Minato's Memory

Minato stood on a stage along with his wife who held her babies. All of the village's civilians and ninjas were there.

Minato look at the crowd and announced, "People of Konoha! 3 days ago, the Kyuubi escaped from its seal and attacked Konoha! I stopped the Kyuubi by sealing it into my children. All of the Kyuubi's chakra have been sealed into my son Menma and my daughter Narumi while its soul is sealed in my son Naruto!"

Angry muttering broke out around the crowd. Most of them were talks about killing and stopping the demon once and for all.

Minato heard this and said, "Do not fear! For my children are not the Kyuubi! They are the prison and the warden of the Kyuubi! They are the hero of Konoha! For they are the ones who are keeping the Kyuubi at bay as long as they live!"

Minato took Menma and Narumi from his wife and raised them in front of the crowd.

Minato said, "I present to you, my children and your heroes! The Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi! The heroes of Konoha!"

Minato only raised two of his children in front of the crowd and forgot about Naruto.

Memory End

Asura saw that memory and got angry. How could he forget about his eldest son for his other two children. Unknown to Asura, this was only the beginning of Naruto's neglection. He looked into another memory.

Minato's Memory

Minato was working in his office where he signs several papers when someone came through the window.

Minato said, "Sensei. I didn't expect you to be back so soon. Also, would it hurt you to enter through the door like everyone else?"

Jiraiya laugh and said, "Normally, I would have but the information I have is too important."

Minato asked, "What is this important info Sensei?"

Jiraiya's face became serious and he said, "The toads summoned me to Mt. Myoboku a few days ago. They told be a prophecy that relates to the future of the ninja world."

Minato had full attention to him and asked, "What did they say Sensei?"

Jiraiya closed his eyes and said, "They told me that 'A child that has been born from two strong beings will be given immense powers the likes of this world have never seen. The chosen one will, according to its own past, will judge this world. Will the chosen one walk the path of light or the path of darkness. The two strong beings from whom the chosen one was born from, have already burned its path. From this path, the chosen one will either save the world or destroy the ninja world.'"

After telling the prophecy, Jiraiya said, "Minato, I believe that the child of prophecy speaks about is either Menma or Narumi. I want you and Kushina to focus all of your free time in training them."

Minato said, "Are you sure about this? Is the chosen one really Menma or Narumi?"

Jiraiya said, "Of course. One of them is the chosen one. Both of them carry the fox's chakra which is the strongest among the rest. This will be what the 'immense power' the prophecy talked about."

Minato nodded and said, "I see your reason but Sensei?"

Jiraiya said, "Yes Minato?"

Minato asked, "What about my eldest son, Naruto?"

Jiraiya said, "What about Naruto?"

Minato said, "I want to train him along with his brother and sister. I seem to have been neglecting him for some time and I don't like it."

Jiraiya wave his hand and said, "Forget about him Minato. He's nothing. Menma or Narumi are the child of prophesy. They need all the training they can get in controlling the fox's chakra."

Minato didn't like this and said, "But Sensei! This is my son we are talking about."

Jiraiya said, "Look Minato. If you train Naruto with Menma and Narumi, he will get in the way of their training. After Menma and Narumi are trained enough to the point where they can control the fox's chakra, then Naruto can join them."

Minato think about it for a while and sigh. He said, "Okay Sensei. I will see to it that Menma and Narumi are trained enough."

Jiraiya said, "Renumber Minato, the fate of the ninja world are in the hands of Menma or Narumi. They need the training. You can connect with your son Naruto after they are ready."

Memory End

Asura was pissing mad at what he heard. All this neglection because of a fucking prophecy!? How dare this Jiraiya say that Naruto was nothing! Asura look down at the paper Minato was holding. He read what was on it and became even more pissed off. The paper said to release the civilians that were in jail for hurting Naruto. What pissed him off was that the paper was signed so that the civilians that attacked Naruto were released from their prison.

Asura could not believe that Minato was letting the villagers get away from hurting his eldest son Naruto. He wanted answer and found them in Minato's mind and what he found only increased his anger.

According to Minato, since the Kyuubi attacked the village, so many lives and loved ones were killed. Since Naruto holds the Kyuubi soul, he knew that the village would target Naruto. He knew of the mob attacks but he let them hurt Naruto since the village needed a scapegoat and Naruto was the only person to fit the job.

Asura girted his teeth hard as he glared murderously at the bastard of a father. His hand was just inches away from grabbing Minato's face and rip his soul out but he stopped. He quickly left the office as he was barely able to contain his rage. He flew above the clouds and opened a dimensional gate to a world without any lifeforms and entered it.

World With No Life Form

As soon as Asura landed on this dead world, Asura gathered all of his immense rage and turn it into pure raw energy. Then he took a massive breath and shouted, "Sound Bazooka"!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

*Booom* *Crumble* *Crack* *Crumble* *Crackle* *Crash*

Asura roared with such force and power that the land upon he was standing on began to break apart from the powerful shockwave. He released a devastating shockwave that spread around him, destroying anything that was in its path. Dirt, hills, rocks, boulders, mountains, canyons etc. Everything that was around Asura began to disintegrate from the shock.

Asura powerful shockwave just kept on spreading and spreading around as he kept on screaming his lungs out. All of his pent up rage that he accumulated from Naruto's and Minato's memories pissed him off. HARD!!

After screaming for more than 10 minutes, Asura finally stops as all of his rage was used up. He sigh and rested for a while. He look around to see what amount of destruction he caused from his attack and was amazed at what he found. The result of his powerful shockwave scream destroyed everything around him as far as his eyes could see.

From the point of space view, one could see that about 15% of the planet was destroyed by Asura's attack.

Asura smiled at the destruction he caused. After his anger was used, he opened a dimensional gateway and returned back to Naruto's world.

Naruto's Ninja World

When Asura entered this world, he used "Kamui" to enter the Kamui dimension. He saw Naruto sleeping on the bed. Asura looked closely and saw dried tears on his face. He must be crying in his sleep. Asura cast a spell on Naruto that let him have a good dream. With that, Naruto may have the chance of sleeping peacefully.

Asura then left the Kamui dimension and went towards the library. In there, he made copies of every book that have information on ninja training, ninja tools and chakra control. He did all of this while being invisible. After that, he went towards Naruto's home. There, he went towards the house' training ground and saw Kushina training Menma and Narumi.

Asura was getting angry at how happy they looked while they neglect Naruto. He saw how happily Kushina was training her two children in controlling chakra. What's more pissed him off was how arrogant they were for being the child of prophecy. Asura left them and went into the house. Inside, he began to look for the scrolls of their Jutsu.

After searching inside the house, he found a scroll about Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) and Rasengan. Good. He can learn them and then make his own version of the Jutsu that would be better than them. Also, he found another scroll about Fuinjutsu or Sealing Techniques. This is a type of Jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. Fuinjutsu can also be used to restrict movement or unseal objects either from within something or someone.

Okay. This is a very cool Jutsu. He didn't know about Fuinjutsu but now he does and he will use it for his world. Also, teaching Naruto about Fuinjutsu would be a good choice too. After copying the scrolls, he left the house and went towards the Uchiha compound and entered the Uchiha clan library. There, he found a treasure trove of tons of Jutsu. It looks like the Uchiha have copied and recorded hundreds of Jutsu during war time. At the moment, he didn't had time to copy them and there were some guards here as well. So he simply for now and went towards training ground No. 44 which was the Forest of death.

There Asura saw several dangerous beasts that were very large for their size. Huge snakes, lions, tigers, boards, bears, insects, spiders, etc. This will be a good place for training Naruto. Also, since this a dangerous place, no one would come here unless they are forced to. So here, in this place, there will be privacy for them.

After that, Asura returned back to the Kamui dimension. There, while Naruto was sleeping peacefully, Asura began to read all of the scrolls and books about training, chakra control etc. It took him 6 hours to read every single scroll and book about Jutsu, training and chakra control. He even learn new things about his skills. He learned some new Jutsu and also, he needs to start his training on chakra control. Also, having some ninja tools would be very useful for his world.

After that, Naruto woke up as he rubbed his eyes. He look around and realize that it wasn't a dream.

Naruto said, "So, everything that happened is real?"

Asura said, "Sure it is. How do you feel?"

Naruto stretched his limbs and said, "Well, I feel really good and refreshed. I haven't felt this good since ..."

Naruto went quite after that. Must be something with his family. Asura thought about how to cheer up th boy.

Asura said, "Hey Naruto."

Naruto look at him and asked, "Yes?"

Asura said, "How do you think about me training you in the art of Ninja?"

Naruto's eyes widen and said, "Really? You would train me in being a ninja?"

Asura smile and nodded. He said, "Sure I would. You have a lot of potential Naruto and these people are too stupid to see that. I will train you and bring out your full potential. Would you accept me as your Sensei?"

Naruto smiled widely and began to jump around while saying 'Yes' over and over. Asura chuckled at this. Naruto appeared in front of him like he just teleported and asked, "So what are you going to teach me? Some cool Jutsu? An awesome move or something? Or or or .."

Asura said, "Calm down Naruto. We will get to that step later but first when you need to do is train your body."

Naruto said, "What's wrong with my body. Its okay."

Asura shook his head and said, "No. Your body is not fit Naruto. As I see it, your body is skinny. Your muscles are undeveloped. You need to eat."

Naruto said, "But I already ate ramen. Which reminds me. I'm hungry."

Asura said, "Your body is also suffering from malnourished. Have you been eating only ramen and nothing else?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yeah. I don't get much at home. I get most of my food from Ramen Ichiraku. Teuchi and his daughter Ayame are nice to me and always give me free ramen."

Asura girted his teeth. They don't even give him food at his own home. What disgusting parents they are. Asura sigh and said, "Naruto. Its good to hear that there are some people in this village that are nice to you and give you free food but you can't always eat ramen the rest of your life."

Naruto said, "But ramen is the food of the gods!"

Asura sweat drop at that. He said, "Even if it is Naruto. You need vitamins and nutrition from other things. Just eating ramen won't give you the nutrition your body needs."

Naruto said, "But I like ramen."

Asura said, "If you don't get the required vitamins and nutrition, you will remain short for the rest of your life."

Naruto said, "Hey! I'm not short!"

Asura said, "You are very short for someone your age. I'm not saying that you need to stop eating ramen permanently. Just eat other things along with it. I bet you will like what other things taste like."

Naruto thought about it and nodded. He said, "Okay. I will try other foods."

Asura nodded and said, "Good. Lets get you to your training ground."

Naruto asked, "Training ground?"

With a smirk, Asura used "Kamui" to teleport him and Naruto to his training ground.

Forest of Death

When they appeared, Naruto asked, "Where is my training ground? What is this place?"

Naruto looked around for a while and then his face became white as snow. His body began to tremble in fear because he knows where he was.

Asura said, "So, how do you like your training ground?"

Naruto eyes widen and said, "This is my training ground? Are you an idiot! No one comes here because this is the Forest of Death!"

Asura smiled and said, "Yes. No one comes here. That is the reason why I chose this as your training ground."

Naruto asked, "But why?"

Asura said, "Here, yo will not be disturbed by outsides. Here you can train as much as you want without anyone finding you out. Also, whatever you train in, you keep it as a secret."

Naruto asked, "Why should I do that?"

Asura said, "You are a ninja right? So, you should keep your skills hidden in order to make your enemy underestimate you. And when they do, you can get an advantage on them."

Naruto thought about it and said, "Cool. That is a good idea. So now there I am here, what do I do?"

Asura look around and said, "First thing first. You need to eat healthy food. Let me get you some."

Naruto asked, "Where are you going to get food in the Forest of Death?"

Asura said, "Maybe your right. I will let food come to us."

Naruto deadpan and said, "What?"

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

Naruto heard something big coming towards them and asked, "What is that?"

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Crash*

Naruto eyes widen in fear at what just came out. It was a huge monstrous bear. It stood at 25foot tall with razor sharp claws and mouth full of teeth. It has red eyes that send a cold shiver down Naruto's spine.

Naruto gulped and asked, "W-what is t-that?"

Asura gave a simple answer, "Food."

Naruto said with wide eyes, "Food!? Are you crazy!? Its more like I'm its food! And a bite size at that!"

Asura chuckled and said, "No need to be afraid of it."

Naruto shouted, "Of course I'm afraid of this thing! I can't hope to even scratch it, rather than bringing it down!"

Asura said, "Oh. You got something wrong with that."

Naruto asked, "What?"

Asura said, "You won't be fighting it. You will be simply eating its delicious meat for its nutrition."

Naruto said, "But how am I going to do that!? I can't kill that thing! I'm just a kid! A weak one at that!"

Asura said, "Don't worry about that. I will be the one who will bring it down."

Naruto look at him in confusion and asked, "How would you do that? If you haven't notice, that thing is huge! Even if you are 9 foot tall, that thing is freaking huge!"

Asura said with a smile, "Just watch and watch it closely."

Naruto look at Asura and saw him bending his knees a bit. Then in the next second, Asura disappeared from Naruto's sight. He look around for him but couldn't find him.

*Shikerip*

Naruto hear that noise and look in its direction. When he did, his eyes popped out of his eye socket and his jaw hit the ground. He saw Asura standing in front of the bear, with his arm buried into the bear's chest. Naruto look up and saw that the bear wasn't moving at all. Like it was in some kind of shock. He then saw Asura pulling his arm out of the bear's chest with blood dripping from his arm.

Then the bear fell on the ground with a loud *Thud*.

Naruto stare with wide eyes and jaws agape at the dead bear. How could Asura killed this mysterious bear with just one attack! Other ninjas would need to attack it in groups in order to bring it down but Asura killed it himself with a simple arm thrust.

Asura rubbed his hands and said, "There you go."

Naruto came out of his shock and look at him. He saw that the blood on Asura's arm was gone. How?

Naruto asked, "What happened to the blood on your arm? And you want me to eat it raw?"

Asura shook his head and said, "No silly."

With a snap of his finger, a table with various kitchen tools appeared out of no where, along with a Barbecue grill. Another snap of his finger, Naruto found himself sitting on a chair with a table in front of him.

Asura said, "I am going to cook it for you."

Asura took a knife and slash at the bare multiple times. The fur was cleanly cut off and the meat underneath it was cut in perfect cubes. He took the meat and put in on the table. He drained all of its blood and then cleaned it. Then he punch the meat several times that tenderized it. After that, he mixed a bowl of flour, spices and BBC sauce. Then he took the meat and coat it with the mixture. Then he put the meat in the grill and barbecued it to perfection. When it was done, he took it and put in on a plate along with some fried vegetables.

*Thud*

Asura put the plate of barbecue bear meat on the table in front of him. Naruto look at the piece of cooked meat in wonder. Why? Because the piece of meat was bigger than his head!

Asura continue to cook the rest of the meat and said, "Here you go Naruto. Eat up."

Naruto said, "I don't think I can eat it all. Its bigger than my head!"

Asura chuckled and said, "You don't have to finish it. Just eat as much as you can and save the rest for later."

Naruto nodded and began cut a piece of the meat. He put the piece of meat into his mouth and began to chew. When he did, his eyes widen and a bit of drool leaked from his mouth. Naruto quickly ate chewed it and swallowed it. He then began to teat into the meat like a hungry wolf. And eat did he. So much so that he ate the huge piece of cooked meat.

Naruto fell back on the ground with his face facing the sky. His belly was bulge out from overeating and he moaned in both bliss of tasty meat and in pain with a fat stomach.

Asura said, "I know I said to eat as much as you can but I didn't meant for you to ate the whole thing. Its not like there is a shortage of meat here. There is still a ton of bear meat left that I stored them for you."

Naruto moaned and said, "But but ... it was so delicious."

Asura said, "I know my cooking is good. Haaaaaa. Well, it looks like you are full for the moment. So now for the next step. Get up."

Naruto slowly stood up and said, "Now what do I need to do?"

Asura said, "Now, you are going to start running in this forest in order to digest all of that meat. Also, this will be good for your leg muscles to develop."

Naruto shouted, "What!? You want me to run here!? In the Forest of Death!?"

Asura said, "Don't be such a cry baby. The monster won't attack you since I will be looking over you."

Naruto said, "Okay. Just give me a few second to get ready."

After a few seconds, Naruto was ready. Asura said, "Good. I want you to run for half an hour and return back here. Okay?"

Naruto nodded and he began to ran. Asura was running with him as he look out for the boy's safety. During the running, Asura used his new skill, "Pesquisa" to sense other life forms near him. So far, he only sensed wild animals and giant beasts. There was no sight of any human near this area. After running for half and hour, they returned back to the area where Naruto ate the bear's meat.

Naruto's legs were trembling and was about to fall on the ground when Asura snap his finger and a soft bed appeared out of no where. Naruto fell on the soft bed and immediately fell asleep. It was almost night time as well.

Asura said, "Sleep for now Naruto. You earned it. After you have your rest, we will begin on you training."

Asura look around and saw that it was a very open area. Enough for a house. Yes. That's it. Asura made some hand signs, slammed his hands on the ground and said, "Wood Style House Formation"

Several huge tree roots came out from the ground and began to intertwine with each other. Soon a house was formed in the middle of the Forest of Death. This is the perfect area for hiding Naruto from others. here he can train fully without anyone finding out.

After making the house, he levitated Naruto and went inside the house. Obviously the house was empty. So he corrected this by snapping his finger and created several furniture and house hold things. He then took Naruto to his room and put him on his bed. Then he left and went towards the guest room. There, he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Next Morning

When Morning came, Asura woke up and prepared himself for he day. He heard Naruto snoring as he was still sleeping. Asura went into the kitchen and prepare breakfast fro himself and Naruto. When breakfast was make, he put them on a table and started eating his own. Soon Naruto woke up from the smell of delicious food and came down. He saw Asura and greeted him.

Naruto said, "Good morning Asura."

Asura nodded and said, "Good morning Naruto. How was you rest?"

Naruto said, "It was very peaceful. Maybe one of the best I have ever had."

Asura nodded and said, "That's good to hear. That's your breakfast over there. Eat up."

Naruto sat on a chair and said, "Thanks for the food."

Naruto then ate his breakfast which to him was very delicious. After finishing his food, he said, "That was very delicious. Thank you."

Asura said, "You welcome. Now, are you ready for your training?"

Naruto nodded but stopped and looked at the dirty dishes. He asked, "But what about them? Let me clean them since you have given me food."

Asura shook his head and said, "No need Naruto."

With a snap of his finger, all of the dirty dishes flashed brightly and when the light subsided, Naruto's eyes widen when he saw that all of the dirty dishes were sparkly clean.

Naruto asked, "But-that's-you -how????"

Asura said with a smile, "Magic. Now come and lets get you ready for training."

Naruto just dumbly nodded and walk with him. When they were outside, Naruto look at the house and asked, "Where did this house came from? I didn't see this here when I came here?"

Asura said, "I made it with Wood Style."

Naruto said with wide eyes, "What!? Wood Style!? You mean that you can use Wood Style just like the first hokage Hashirama Senju!?"

Asura smiled and nodded. He said, "Sure can. Want to see a demonstration?"

Naruto nodded happily and waited to see what he would do. When Asura was about to demonstrate his Ninjutsu, another beast came out. It was a huge ass spider. Normally it would have scared Asura in the past but since then he has eaten a lot of them without any problem. So now, he simply saw the huge spider as a prey.

Asura said, "You'll do just fine."

Asura made some hand signs, slammed them on the ground and said, "Wood Style Four-Pillar Prison"

From the ground, several huge tree roots came out and intertwine with each other. They formed a huge wooden cage around the big spider. Thus trapping it and capturing it alive.

Naruto watched the whole thing with wider eyes. He have heard about Wood Style in only stories and that only the first hokage Hashirama was able to use this Ninjutsu. It was even said that the root of this village was created by Hashirama himself, including the Forest of Death. The spider screeched and rammed the wooden bars of the cage but they didn't budge or cracked as they were very thick and strong.

Asura said, "There we go. One huge ass spider ready to be served."

Naruto had stars in his eyes as he jumps up and down with enthusiasm and joy. He said, "I can't believe I just saw someone use the awesome Wood Style and I got to see what it does first hand!"

After jumping for a while, he stops and asked, "Wait. What do you mean by ready to be served? Are you saying that-"

Asura said, "Hmmmm. This spider looks delicious. I wonder what type of cooking would it take to cook its meat?"

Naruto became green at that and shouted, "Are you crazy!? Who would want to eat that huge disgusting spider!?"

Asura look at him and said, "Did you know that insects carry the most proteins and vitamins when compared to animals, fruits and vegetables?"

Naruto said, "What? That can't be true? What about the bear meat that I ate? You said that it was good for me."

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. I did say that. The bear meat did contained some good amount of nutrition. But when compared to this huge spider, the level of proteins fails in comparison to it."

Naruto said, "Please done tell me that you are going to-"

Asura said, "Make you eat it? Of course you are going to eat it and digest its nutrition. But don't worry about the taste. I never serve food that taste bad or bad for the body. I'll cook this spider into a delicious meal that you would beg me to make it more."

Naruto sigh in defeat and said, "Okay. Since I ate the bear meat that you cooked, I'll trust you on that. So what training will I do now?"

Asura said, "Let me think for a second. Hmmmm. Aha! I got just the training for you but first, tell me. Did you had any ninja training?"

Naruto shook his head sadly and said, "No. I didn't get any. Mon and dad focus training my brother and sister. Whenever I ask for training, they would say that my siblings needed it more than me since they are special."

Asura nodded and said, "Good. That's mean you are fresh for training. Now for your first ninja training, you will be doing Tree Climbing."

Naruto said, "But I can climb trees already."

Asura said, "Really? Show me."

Naruto did and start climbing a nearby tree. With both his hands and feet. When he climbed the tree, Naruto said, "See. I told you that I can climb a tree."

Asura said, "Impressive. But you are wrong."

Naruto climbed down and asked, "Wrong? What do you mean wrong? I climb a tree easily. What did I do wrong?"

Asura said, "You didn't do it the ninja way."

Naruto asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Asura said, "A ninja can climb a tree with only his feet."

Naruto said, "No way. That's impossible!"

Asura said, "Then watch how I do it. With only my feet."

Naruto watched Asura who walk to a nearby tree. He saw him putting one foot on the tree and then he put his other foot on the tree without falling down. Naruto's eyes widen and his jaw fell down when he saw Asura standing on the tree's surface horizontally. He was then shocked when he saw Asura walking upwards without the any difficulty. He saw how easily Asura climbed the tree with only his feet. Asura then walk down and onto the ground. He look at Naruto's shocked face and chuckled.

Asura said, "This is how a ninja climbs a tree with only his feet."

Naruto said, "That's so cool! I want to do it! How can I do it!? Please tell me! Please please please!"

Asura nodded and said, "Calm down Naruto. I'll tell you how and what's use this training has."

Naruto calm down and waited for his explanation. Asura began to explain, "OK. In this Tree Climbing exercise, the first thing you need to do is gather your chakra at the bottom of your feet. The second thing you do is that you must walk up a tree as if it you were walking on the ground. To put it simply, you must imagine that the chakra at the bottom of your feet are like sticky glue. The concept of this exercise is similar to magnetism. This may help you a lot when climbing a tree because you can control what you want to do with your own chakra."

Naruto nodded and said, "That's a good explanation. Okay! I'm going to do it!"

Asura stopped him and said, "Wait Naruto. You must know that when climbing a tree, you need to gather a controlled amount of chakra below your feet. If you gather too much chakra, the tree will break and send you flying in the opposite direction. If you gather too little chakra, then you will not stick to the tree and will fall down. You must experiment and see what is the correct amount of chakra needed in order to stick to a tree and walk upwards."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thanks for the help Asura. I will now try it out."

Naruto walked over to the tree and began to gather chakra at the bottom of is feet. When he thought that he had enough he place his right foot on the tree and then the left. He then tried to walk upwards but he failed and fell down on his head. It hurts his head but he didn't give up and tried again. Only to fail again and hurt himself.

Naruto rubbed his head and said, "Ouch. I thought I had it, I guess that this isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Well, no pain no gain."

When Naruto was about to try again, Asura stopped him and said, "Naruto. You don't need to hurt yourself in this kind of training."

Naruto said, "Then how would I be able to climb a tree if I don't run up?"

Asura said, "There is another way of doing the first and second step."

Naruto asked, "What are they?"

Asura said, "The first thing you need to do is lye on the ground with your feet touching the tree trunk."

Asura lay down on the ground and had his feet touching a tree trunk. He continued, "From here, you simply need to gather chakra on the bottom of your feet and see if your feet stick to the tree. If you are successful, then you have passed the first and second step. Go ahead and try it out."

Asura stand back and let Naruto try this method which was much safer. Naruto lay down on the ground with his feet touching the tree. Before he tried it, Asura said, "Before you begin, take off you shoes."

Naruto asked, "Why?"

Asura said, "Since you are a novice in this exercise, you should take off your shoes. You first try it without any shoes because with them on, you will need to concentrate to expand your chakra at the bottom of your shoes instead of your feet. Also, make several clones to help you with your training."

Naruto nodded and took of his shoes and created several Shadow Clones. He and his clones then gather chakra at the bottom of their feets and try to think it to the tree trunk. They imagine their chakra being like a sticky substance that would help them stick to the tree. And it did.

Asura in the mean time, was killing the huge spider. Naruto did saw Asura walking into the cage. Then he head the spider's screeching.

"Don't get cocky! You lower life form!"

*Bash*

The ground shook, the trees trembled which made some of the clones fall from the trees. The wooden cage exploded into thousands of pieces. Then out from the destroyed cage, came out Asura who was dragging a dead spider. Naruto and his clones look in wide eyes at the display of Asura's strength and wish that they were as strong as him.

Asura then began to harvest the spider's meat. As he was harvesting the spider's meat, *Squelch* sound of the slippery meat and ripping it off echoed around him which really unnerved Naruto as he shivered from the thought of eating spiders. Naruto ignored it and concentrate on his exercise.

After a few hours, Naruto was able to stick his feet onto the tree trunk. So far he was able to stick meaning he gather the right amount which made him very happy about his success and said, "Asura! Look! I did it! My feet stick to the tree!"

Asura came and look at his progress and was impressed that he managed to do this in such a short amount of time.

Asura said, "Very good Naruto but this is just the beginning and the easiest part."

Naruto said, "What!? That was the easiest part!?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes it is. Now for the next part which is a bit difficult. You must now manage your chakra and sustain this ability to remain on the tree for minutes up to hours. Also, try to climb up the tree as far as you can go."

Naruto nodded and being to walk up the tree. He only took three steps before he felt his chakra slip and he fell back to the ground. Naruto grunt in pain and stand back up. He again stick to the tree and began to walk up. Only to fall back down after taking a few steps. Naruto hurt himself again. He saw that Asura was about to help him and stopped him.

Naruto said, "Asura. You don't need to heal me. I must take on this pain during my training."

Asura said, "But you are just a child Naruto. Getting hurt at your age is very bad for your body."

Naruto said, "I know but I also know that I will become a ninja. And ninja's can take on a lot of pain. I need to get use to pain Asura, if I want to be a great ninja."

Asura stops and think about it. Naruto does have a point. If he does not get use to pain, then in the future, if he sustain a wound, the pain from it will become a great disadvantage to him.

Asura said, "Okay Naruto. You are right about this. Like you said, No pain. No gain. But don't hurt yourself too much okay?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Sure."

With that, Naruto continued his training, while Asura went back to harvesting the spider's meat. During harvesting, he put aside the spider's venom sack and web organ which he devoured since it was inedible for normal humans. Asura was busy with cleaning out the spider meat and organs. He cut the meat into smaller pieces and marinated them in several different kinds of spices and such. Then he took the edible organs and mixed them with different spices. He cooked the spider meat first and tasted it. He didn't like it as his first try was a failure. Then then cooked it with a different spice which tasted better than before. He again try to cook the meat with several types of spices and vegetables and this time, it came out a delicious dish.

Now for the spider's organs. He took the spider's intestines and soaked them in sweet wine. Then he took out the intestine and chopped them into smaller pieces. Then he throw them into a frying pan, along with rice, vegetables and mix them with spices. After it was done, he took a spoonful of the food and tasted it. He gave a nod for success. He was able to use the spider's intestines as an ingredient and cooked it with fried rice.

Then comes the spider's stomach, kidney, liver, pancreas, heart, lungs and eye balls. He took the stomach, liver, kidney, heart and lungs and blended them into paste. Then he took flour, spices and lemon juice and mix them with the organ paste. After making a good dough of organs paste, he made small balls out of them and throw them into a pot of boiling oil. When it was done, he ate one ball and found it very favorable.

Now the leftover were pancreas and eye balls. He took the eye balls and made a delicious soup out of them. He tasted the pancreas and found it to be very disgusting. So he first snap his finger and created one pig out of nothingness. Then he killed the pig and harvest its meat. Then he throw the pig's meat into a boiling water. The water was so hot that the pig's meat was melted. Nothing but its gravy was left behind. He then took the spider's pancreas and throw it in the gravy, where it began to absorb its flavor. He also throw some of the bear's meat into the gravy and made a delicious dish out of them.

As Naruto was training, he began to drool when his nose smelled something very appetizing. He look and saw that the aroma was coming from the stuff Asura was cooking. He thought what kind of food he was cooking.

Naruto asked, "Hey Asura. What's that aroma I'm smelling?"

Asura said, "Its your lunch."

Naruto gulped and said, "Can I have some?"

Asura thought about it and said, "Why don't you think of it as a reward."

Naruto asked, "Reward?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. You want to eat this but you can't until you keep on doing your Tree Climbing exercise for 3 hours."

Naruto said, "But but I really want-"

Asura said, "Think of it as a motivation. You train hard for three hours and the end result would be positive."

Naruto nodded and said, "Okay. I'll do it. But I am going to eat till I'm full after this!"

Asura said with a smile, "Sure you can."

Naruto return to training while Asura return to cooking. During the hour, Asura was done with cooking. He put them aside and started reading about Fūinjutsu. After reading about Sealing Art, he wanted to test it out. Asura snap his finger and a scroll materialized out of thin air. He took the scroll and opened it. The scroll was blank. Just the way he wanted.

Asura then snap his finger and materialized a brush and black ink. The ink was not normal as it had chakra in it. He took the brush and dip it into the chakra ink. After that, he started writing on the blank scroll in a weird design.

After he was done making a seal, he wanted to test it out. But on what? He look at the huge amount of cooked food and he got an idea. He took a single dish and put it on the scroll. Then he put some of his chakra into the scroll and *Poof* the food disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Asura got something to seal in the scroll and now he wants to see if he could bring the food out. He again poured chakra into the scroll and *Poof* the food appeared in a puff of smoke. Good. He was successful in making a storage seal. Now he wants to test just how much he could store in the seal. Asura took all of the spider's meat dish along with the Bear meat and place them near the scroll. He put some chakra into the seal and *Poof* all of the food disappeared in a huge puff of smoke.

Very good. He was able to store a lot of food into the seal. However, he still feels that he would be able to store more things in the seal. After testing for an hour, he found out that the amount of things one can store in a seal depends on the user's chakra amount. Meaning, the higher the amount of chakra, the more things the user can store. And since Asura has huge amount of chakra, he can store as much as an entire village into the seal.

After three hours of training and testing, Naruto landed on the ground exhausted. He continuously trained hard for three hours and now he was exhausted and hungry.

Naruto moaned, "Foooooood."

Asura chuckled and said, "You really did it Naruto. Did you do it only for my food?"

Naruto said, "How wouldn't I? You cooking is delicious!"

Asura smiled and said, "Come. Its time to eat. You earned it."

With a snap of his finger, Naruto found himself sitting on a chair, in front of a table. He look at the table and saw no food.

Naruto asked, "Um Asura. Where's the food?"

Asura brought out a scroll and put it on the table. Naruto saw this and asked, "What is this?"

Asura said, "I was trying out a Sealing Art and it worked. I want you to pour some of your chakra into this seal."

Asura opened the scroll and showed the boy the seal. Naruto asked, "What's it do?"

Asura said, "You'll see in a moment. Now pour some chakra into it."

Naruto nodded and put his hand on the sea;. He poured some chakra into it and *Poof*, the table was covered in smoke. When the smoke settled, Naruto saw that the table was full of cooked food. Naruto's mouth drool as he saw different types of dishes in front of him.

Asura said, "Its time to eat."

Before Naruto start eating, he stopped and asked, "Um Asura. What kind of meat dish are these?"

Asura said, "Its the spider meat I trapped before training you."

Asura told him the name of the dishes and with each name, Naruto's face became greener and greener.

Spider's Meat With Fried Vegetables
Spider's Intestines Fried Vegetable Rice
Spider's Organs Fried Paste Balls
Spider's Eye Balls Soup
Spider's Pancreas With Bear Meat

Naruto was now pure green and shouted, "What!?"

Asura said, "Oh come one Naruto. You can't let this get to you since you are training to become a ninja."

Naruto asked, "What's that got to do with me being a ninja?"

Asura said, "Tell me this. If you are on a mission far away from home and you get hungry, what would you eat?"

Naruto said, "I would at least bring some food with me to eat and survive on that."

Asura said, "What if you forgot to bring any food with you? What then?"

Naruto said, "Then I search for food in trees and bushes. There are bound to be some fruits and vegetables in those places."

Asura said, "What if there were none? What then?"

Naruto said, "I ah I ... don't know?"

Asura said, "Exactly. A ninja is suppose to survive on any edible he finds. Even if they are insects."

Naruto said, "But-"

Asura cut him off and said, "Naruto. Insects may seem like creepy crawly to you but when you are hungry, you can eat them to survive. Also, the insects are packed with proteins. Besides, the spider meat I cooked is bound to be delicious. You said it yourself that the aroma of the food is very good. At least try it out and you'll see what I'm talking about."

Naruto thought about it and took a piece of spider meat. he hesitantly took a bite out of it and chewed it slowly with his face scrunched up. After chewing it for a few seconds, his eyes widen as several flavors spread inside his mouth. He quickly swallowed it and took another bite. Soon, he was devouring the food in front of him. Asura smiled and ate his food with the boy.

After eating his fill, Naruto said, "That was very delicious. Despite being spider meat."

Asura said, "Everything can taste good Naruto. All you have to know is how to cook it and voila! A mouth watering dish."

Naruto said in wonder, "Wow. So that means ..."

Asura said, "Yup. You can even eat the grass and trees if you know how to cook them."

Naruto had stars in his eyes as he soaked in this info. He said, "That's so cool! This means that I would never go hungry again! Can you teach me how to cook?"

Asura smiled and said, "Yes. I would later teach you how to cook ingredients. But for now, why don't you keep on doing your Tree Climbing exercise for the rest of the day."

Naruto nodded and said, "Sure! But um can you tell me what do I get out of this training?"

Asura said, "Tree Climbing exercise is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This means that if you have a fix control on your chakra, you would be able to do Jutsu with minimal amount of chakra with ease. If you don't have a fix control on your chakra then not only it would take you a lot of chakra to do just one Jutsu but you would be wasting a good amount of your chakra as well."

Naruto eyes widen at that and said, "Really?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. The Tree Climbing exercise is the very first step in becoming a ninja. If you skip this exercise, then you won't be a good ninja."

Naruto nodded and said, "I see. That's why mom and dad train my brother and sister in walking on trees first."

Naruto became sad at the thought of his parents denying him training while they focus on his siblings. Asura saw this and tried to cheer him up.

Asura said, "Naruto. Don't be sad about your parents. If they can't train you then I am here. I'll be training you in everything a ninja is suppose to know."

Naruto mood lit up a bit and said, "Thanks Asura."

Asura saw that it didn't help the boy's mood much. So he thought about it and said, "Also, I think I will also train you in a special Ninjutsu."

This got Naruto's attention and he asked, "Special Ninjutsu? What's that?"

Asura said, "Ah ah ah. That is a secret for tomorrow. For now, you will continue your Tree Climbing exercise and get a better control on your chakra."

Naruto pouted and said, "Aww. I want to know what the special Ninjutsu is now."

Asura said, "Then think of it like a reward for your today's training. Continue working hard and I'll reward you with special training, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu and even Kenjutsu. So what do you say Naruto?"

Naruto's eyes bulge out of their eye sockets and his jaw hit the ground when he heard that. He could not believe it that Asura was going to teach him with special training. Maybe, just maybe with this, his parents would notice him, acknowledge his existence and spend some time with him. All he wants is to be loved by his parents and siblings.

Naruto nodded and gave a big smile as he said, "You got yourself a deal Asura. I'll work hard for the rewards you will give tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that."

With that, Naruto continued his Tree Climbing training for the rest of the day. Asura did help in by giving some tips that will help him in this exercise. When it was night time, Asura and Naruto ate dinner. After that, Asura took Naruto into the house that he made in the middle of Forest of Death. They went into Naruto's room where the boy lay on the soft bed.

Before Naruto fell asleep, Asura said, "Naruto. I have seen that your chakra pool is a little bit more than what it should be but its not enough. For tomorrow's special training, you would need to have larger chakra reserve."

Naruto asked, "Then what should I do to increase my chakra reserve?"

Asura said, "You don't need to do anything. In fact, I can increase them but I need to have your permission to do it."

Naruto asked, "What do you need to do exactly?"

Asura said, "I will need to perform a surgery on your body's chakra coils."

Naruto eyes widen and shouted, "What!?"

Asura said, "It will not be painful. You won't feel anything as you would be sleeping."

Naruto calm down and said, "Oh okay but what would the surgery would do to me?"

Asura said, "As I said, I will be increasing the size of your chakra coils. Also, your organs heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver that produce the chakra will be improved as well. Your organs will begin to produce more chakra than before."

Naruto liked having more chakra as it will help him in the future. He nodded and said, "Okay Asura. I'll trust you and leave it to you."

Asura nodded and said, "Good. Now sleep and I'll perform the surgery."

Asura cast a sleep spell on Naruto who feel asleep. He then put his hand on Naruto's chest and let the virus seep into the boy's body. He then commanded the virus to modify Naruto's chakra producing organs and chakra coils. Naruto's heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver were modified to perform much better than before and produce twice as much chakra as before. Then the chakra coils in Naruto's body were modified and improved. Now the chakra coils were twice as big as before which means that more chakra can flow through them.

Asura read about the chakra producing organs in a book. He learned that the body does not produce chakra but rather the five organs, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver. When he learned about this, he first modified his own organs and chakra coils. He made them much better than before and succeeded in doing so. Asura would never perform a surgery on another being if he didn't knew that it would work.

So, Asura first tried it on himself and was successful. Now he performed the surgery on Naruto which was a success as well which made him happy. With the successful surgery, Naruto will now be able to produce more chakra than before and the flow of chakra throughout his body has been increase as well. After teh surgery was done, Asura left the house and went towards the Namikaze compound or more precisely, Naruto's home.

When Asura arrived there, he became invisible with magic and phased through the walls with the help of "Kamui". Inside the house, he saw how Naruto's family were faring. He thought that with the absence of their eldest son from their home would make them notice him but they didn't. No. They just resume with their life without a care about their son's safety and such. He saw that they were eating dinner and were talking with each other.

Narumi said, "Mom. Dad. I just got the hand of mom's sword style."

Kushina said, "Atta girl. I'm sure that in a few more weeks, you will be mastering my sword style."

Minato said, "Menma. How are you doing with my Jutsu?"

Menma said, "I doing great dad. Controlling the Rasengan is really hard but its nothing to me. After all, we are the child of prophecy who are destined to save the ninja world."

Minato said, "That's right son. You and Narumi will make a great ninja in the future."

They just talk eat and talk with each other. Neither of them notice the absence of one of their family member. This infuriated Asura at how they just ignore their eldest son Naruto like that. He left the house quickly or he would have done something bad to them. He returned back to the Forest of Death and went inside the house. He lay down on the couch bed and fell asleep.

Next Day

Asura woke up in the morning and got ready for the day. He made breakfast for him and Naruto. After eating their food, they both walk outside the house and prepare for the boy's training.

Asura asked, "How are you feeling Naruto?"

Naruto said, "I feel great! In fact, I feel like I can run for 5 hours straight and still have enough energy to train. Is this because of the surgery you did to me last night?"

Asura nodded and said, "I think so Naruto. The surgery was a success. With it, you would now be able to produce more chakra and have a huge chakra reserve. This will be very helpful to you in today's special Ninjutsu."

Naruto asked, "That's sounds great! So what's the special Ninjutsu that you promised to reward me for today?"

Asura said, "Yes. I did promise to teach you a special Ninjutsu for working hard yesterday. The Jutsu I am going to teach you is a B-rank Jutsu."

Naruto ears perk up at that and said, "Really!? A B-rank Jutsu!? That's awesome! What is it?"

Asura said, "I am going to teach you how to perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Naruto asked, "Shadow Clone Jutsu? What does it do?"

Asura said, "This."

Asura made some hand sign and said, "Shadow Clone Jutsu"

*Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof*

Five smoke bombs went off and from that smoke, five individuals appeared. Naruto look at them with wide eyes. He saw that there were 5 more people here but they all look the same as Asura.

Naruto asked, "Wait. What is this and which one of you is the real Asura?"

The original Asura said, "I am Naruto. You see, this Shadow Clone Jutsu allows the user to make several clones of themselves."

Naruto said, "But they are just clones."

A clone said, "The normal clones are simple illusions. It is a very low level Ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance. Since the clone itself doesn't have the ability to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy, it is mainly used in combination with other Ninjutsu. It's a basic technique called Bunshin."

A clone said, "However, these clones, which is us, are solid instead of illusions. We can also think for ourselves and move around."

Another clone said, "The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power."

Another clone said, "The clones are capable of performing techniques, including the Shadow Clone Jutsu itself."

Another clone said, However, if a clone is hit hard enough, they will disperse. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique."

Naruto said, "Wow! That amazing! Clone that can do stuff rather than just being illusion!"

Asura said, "This Jutsu is special since you can use your clones as soldiers if you are out numbered. However, there is a secret that others don't even know about this Jutsu."

Naruto asked, "Really? What secret about this Jutsu?"

The clones then went in different directions into the forest. Asura said, "The secret that the Shadow Clone Jutsu possess is that any experience or info the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning, to pass the information back to the user. Similarly, because they are clones of the original, any chakra that the clone possesses will return to the original after being dispelled."

Naruto eyes widen at that and said, "Um what?"

The clones dispersed and all the info was transferred back to the original. Asura took the info and said, "You see that my clones went into the forest and after seeing various things, they dispersed. All of their memory was transferred back to me since I'm the original. Are you with me so far?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes. What's that mean?"

Asura said, "Since I got the clone's memory, I know what beasts are and in which direction. To the north, there is a lion beast. To the south, the is a snake beast. To the east there is rhino beast. To the west, there is a giant centipede. Up in the sky, several bird type beast are flying around."

Naruto asked, "How do you know all of this?"

Asura said, "Like I said, the Shadow Clone Jutsu is very helpful in gaining info about your surrounding without you even moving around. This way, you can keep hidden while your clones gather info about your enemies and such."

Naruto said, "Wow! That is cool. But what does this have to do with my training?"

Asura said, "You need to know one more thing about Shadow Clone Naruto. When a Shadow Clone performs any activity such as exercise and training, then all of the experience they felt will be transferred back to you after they dispersed."

Naruto asked, "What?"

Asura simplified, "To simply say, if you make one Shadow Clone and train together with him, then you can cover twice the amount of training that you would do alone. If you make two Shadow Clones then you can cover three times the amount of training within the same time. Your training amount will simply multiply the more Shadow Clones you can make."

Naruto eyes widen at that and said, "Are you saying that I can do a week's amount of training within a single day if I make several Shadow Clone?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. That is correct."

Naruto asked, "Then why didn't you teach me the Shadow Clone Jutsu in the first place?"

Asura said, "Because you didn't had any chakra control training in the first place but now you have enough to make some Shadow Clones. Without any chakra control, you couldn't have created any clone."

Naruto said, "Oh right. Sorry about that."

Asura said, "It fine Naruto. Now watch me as I show you how to perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Naruto look closely at Asura who began to slowly form a few hand signs so that he could see what he needs to do in order to perform this Jutsu.

After he made the hand signs, he said, "Did you see what hand signs I made and in which order?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yep. I got the hand signs remembered and the order to."

Asura said, "Good. Now its time for you to perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu. But since this is your first time, try to make just one or two of them. I don't want you to spend all of your chakra and go into Chakra Exhaustion."

Naruto nodded and said, "Sure thing Asura."

Naruto got ready and made the required hand signs in the right order and said, "Shadow Clone Jutsu"

*Poof* *Poof*

With two smoke bombs, two clones appeared that looked like Naruto but were a bit off. One was fat while the other was so much skinny.

Naruto saw this and said, "What's wrong with them? I'm not that fat or that skinny! Why don't they look like me?"

Asura said, "Remember. Since this is your first time, your clones details may be off."

Naruto asked, "So, what do I do to fix this?"

Asura said, "My advice is that you simply keep on making clones until you get better at it. Try to visualize what you look like and then make a clone of yourself."

Naruto nodded and began to make clones that at least look like him. After an hour of creating clones and dispelling the defected clones, Naruto finally did it. He was able to make two perfect clones.

Naruto said, "Look Asura! I did it! I made two perfect clones!"

Asura smiled and said, "Very good Naruto. You are getting the hang of this Jutsu. Now you can continue your Tree Climbing training along with your clones and this time, do it while wearing your boots. I believe that you are good enough to train with them on your feet."

Naruto said, "Okay Asura."

Naruto, along with his clones went towards a tree and began to climb it with only their feet sticking to its trunk. They kept on going for it at least for 3 hours.

After that Asura stopped them and said, "That's enough for now Naruto. Come down here with your clones."

Naruto and his clones jumped down in front of Asura. Naruto said, "Okay. What now?"

Asura said, "Now I want you to disperse your clones and gain their experience. But I have to warn you that you will not only gain their memories and experience but also their stamina drain."

Naruto nodded and dispersed his clones. Immediately, he gained not only their memory and experience but also their exhaustion. He body felt like its has been training for 9 hours. He then fell on the ground in exhaustion.

Naruto said, "Ohhh. So this is what you mean by stamina drain. I feel like I have been training for 9 hours instead of 3 hours."

Asura said, "Exactly Naruto. This way, you can train more and gain more experience but you will get tired quickly."

Naruto said, "But doesn't that mean I am wasting time while I rest?"

Asura said, "If there were anyone then yes but not with me around. While you were training, I was busy in making something that will help you with your training."

Asura pulled out a small 1 CM ball and Naruto asked, "What is it?"

Asura said, "These are called Soldier Pills. They are special pills that replenish one's stamina and chakra and nourish the body. It's made up of powerful stimulants and nutrients. According to the books I read, the Akimichi Clan were the ones who created these pills."

Naruto said, "So these pills will replenish my exhaust state?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. They will. However, the books says that after eating the pills, the user will be able to keep on fighting for three days and three nights without rest. At the end of the three days effect, the shinobi is brought to the point of complete and utter exhaustion."

Naruto said, "What!? That does not sound good at all!"

Asura said, "You have no need to worry about it Naruto. I added some of my own ingredients into the pills that will counter the after effects. With one pill, you will be able to work for the entire day without getting exhausted. After the day is done, you will feel really tired, so at that time, you will need to sleep at night."

Naruto asked, "Really? I won't get exhausted for the whole day and simply need to sleep at night?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. However, since this is one of the things I made, I want you to promise me not to tell others about it."

Naruto said, "But why not? Won't it be better to tell others about this amazing pill you made?"

Asura said, "Naruto. I can't expose myself to anyone of these peoples. As you know, I am a very powerful being and if they know about me, then they will do everything to either make me part of their village or kill me for refusing them. Then they would dissect my body in order to know my secret. Heck, I even bet that some of them would do some sort of experiment with my blood in order to make stronger ninjas. I also know that some people will even try to mind control me into becoming their slave. And let me tell you that if they did that, I will utterly annihilate them along with their entire village. And besides, what I am giving you will be yours to keep."

Naruto asked, "Why's that?"

Asura said, "I have plans for your future Naruto. Now eat one pill and try to make more Shadow Clones before continuing your Tree Climbing training."

Naruto nodded and ate one pill. Immediately, he felt re-energize and stand back up. All of his exhaustion disappeared.

Naruto said in wonder, "Wow. This is amazing!"

Naruto then made several more clones, about 25, and continued his tree climbing training while Asura study Fūinjutsu. He learned various things about Sealing Arts. Also, he found something that can help him in copying the scrolls from the Uchiha library at once.

Asura said, "Naruto. I am going to get something. I want you to continue training until I return."

Naruto nodded and said, "Sure .... Sensei."

Asura was surprised that Naruto called him Sensei. He smiled at the boy and left the forest. He went straight towards the Uchiha library and entered it through the wall since the guards were guarding the building's entry. Aura phased through the walls with Kamui and kept himself invisible. Inside, he saw more guards paroling the area.

Asura used "Greater Mind Control" to stop them in their tracks and make their mind blank for the moment. Asura quickly went towards the center of the room and pulled out a seal. He put the seal down and put chakra into it. He said, "Fuinjutsu Scroll Copying Seal"

A wave of chakra came from the seal and spread throughout the room. From the scrolls, several black writings came out and flew towards the seal. After a few minutes, everything that was written in the hundreds of scroll, were now copied into the seal. Asura took the seal and put it into his pocket. Then he phase through the wall while releasing the guards from his mind control. They guards didn't even notice what happened and simply continued their paroling.

Asura then went exploring the village and spy on important people like the clans head.

Aburame Clan
The Aburame Clan is one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure. At birth, members of this clan are offered to several special breed of insects as a nest, residing just under their host's skin. These insects will then live in symbiosis with their host from that point on. Because of this, its members are characterized by their use of insects as weapons.

The insects can leave and enter their host's body through various pores. They feed on chakra as a food source, making them quite deadly. The relationship between the shinobi and the insects is mutually beneficial. The host grants the insects shelter and allows them to feed off their chakra, their body becoming a living hive of tens of thousands of these insects, and in return the insects do the user's bidding, allowing the shinobi to perform ninjutsu-like techniques without the use of hand seals or chakra conversion. A major defining trait of the Aburame clan is that all of its known members' eyes are obscured usually by glasses, as well as they wear clothing that usually cover up most of their body.

Shibi Aburame is a jōnin, and the head of Konohagakure's Aburame clan. His son is Shino Aburame.

Uchiha clan
The Uchiha clan is one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure. They are reputed to be the village's strongest because of their Sharingan and natural battle prowess. The Uchiha are descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki, the elder son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Through Indra, the Uchiha inherited Hagoromo's "eyes", granting them powerful spiritual energy and chakra.

Uchiha are subject to powerful emotions: these emotions typically start as love for a friend or family member that then become overpowering hatred when the object of their love is lost. This loss, whether actually experienced or merely threatened, awakens an Uchiha's Sharingan. It is due to the Sharingan that the Uchiha have received much of their fame and notoriety.

Fugaku Uchiha is a jonin and head of both Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and the Konoha Military Police Force. Mikoto Uchiha is his wife and a jonin. He has two sons. The eldest Itachi Uchiha and the youngest Sasuke Uchiha. All of them act high and mighty except for Mikoto, Itachi and Shisui Uchiha.

Shisui Uchiha is renowned as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" and is best friend of Itachi.

Hyuga Clan
The Hyuga Clan is one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure. All members born into this clan possess the Byakugan, a kekkei genkai that gives them extended fields of vision and the ability to see through solid objects and even the chakra circulatory system, amongst other things. Members of this clan also possess the unique ability to expel chakra from any of the tenketsu in their body.

The Hyuga clan are considered to be one of, if not currently, the most powerful clan in Konohagakure. Their fame and prowess stretches far and wide, leading others to both praise and covet their abilities. Members of the clan are instructed in the use of the Gentle Fist style, which uses the Byakugan to view the opponent's Chakra Pathway System and deal precise blows to disable and impede the flow of chakra. Due to training in this style, Hyūga clan members tend to have excellent chakra control. This is emphasized in techniques that utilize this chakra control, as well as the nuances of the Gentle Fist Art. Because of this, the Gentle Fist is regarded as Konoha's strongest taijutsu style.

The clan is separated into two parts: the main house and the branch house. This is a system that protects the secrets of the Byakugan from outsiders. The main house runs the family while the branch house protects it. The members of the branch house are branded with a cursed seal upon the third birthday of the heir to the main house. This seal gives the main house members absolute control over the branch members, because they can destroy the branch members' brain cells with a simple hand seal, or cause them great pain to punish them.

This seal also makes sure the secret of the Hyūga's Byakugan is safe, because it seals the Byakugan after the wearer of the seal dies.

Yeah right! What a load of bullshit!

Asura clearly see that the main house see the branch house as nothing but slaves that they can control. Maybe he could involve the Hyuga in his plan for Naruto.

Hiashi Hyuga is a shinobi and the current head of the Hyuga clan. he has two daughters. The eldest one is Hinata Hyuga and the youngest one Hanabi Hyuga.

Hizashi Hyuga was a jōnin and the head of the branch house. His son is Neji Hyuga who is a a prodigy. Negi has great hatred for the main house for the curse seal placed on the branch house.

Akimichi Clan
The Akimichi Clan is one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure. Members of this clan possess great physical strength and are able to quickly convert calories into chakra, which they then use in their various secret techniques. Most of these techniques rapidly consume the user's chakra during use, and maintaining them during a prolonged battle can be tiring. For this reason the Akimichi have high chakra levels and eat a lot in order to build up or replenish their chakra reserves.

As a tribute, members of the clan wear the kanji for "food" on the their clothing. Many Akimichi use bo staff as their weapon of choice. These have the ability to lengthen in proportion to their wielder's size. These weapons also have small appendages at the top of them. These clan members have all also been depicted with markings of sorts on their cheeks and most of them have been seen wearing plate armor, both with and without flak jackets.

If standard calories aren't enough for a battle, then Akimichi can use the clan's Three Colored Pills to convert excess fat into chakra, at the cost of one's health.

Chōza Akimichi is the head of the Akimichi Clan. His son is Chōji Akimichi.

Nara Clan
The Nara Clan is known for their high level of intelligence, their tending to deer and their ability to manipulate shadows through the use of Yin Release.

Shikaku Nara is the Jōnin Commander of Konohagakure and head of the Nara clan. Yoshino Nara is his wife and is a chunin. Shikamaru Nara is his son.

Shikaku Nara and was a member of an Ino–Shika–Chō trio alongside Inoichi Yamanaka and Chōza Akimichi.

Yamanaka Clan
The Yamanaka Clan is a family of ninja found in Konohagakure. They specialize in mind related techniques, and they own and run a flower shop in the village.

The members of this clan specialize in mind-centered techniques which makes them experts at intelligence gathering, espionage and ultimately interrogation. They have also displayed sensory abilities and their techniques include transferring consciousness, reading minds and communicating telepathically. Most members of the Yamanaka clan wear their hair in a long ponytail, which appears to be traditional.

Inoichi Yamanaka is the head of Yamanaka clan. He is also a high-ranking member of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division. He has a daughter name Ino Yamanaka.

The Yamanaka clan has a special relationship with the Akimichi and Nara clan. For generations, members of these three families have formed an "Ino–Shika–Chō Trio", named after the first part of the names of the members. The Yamanaka members are the "Ino", Nara are the "Shika" and Akimichi are the "Chō" in the trio.

To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a member of the Sarutobi clan will give them special earrings to present to each generation head when they are promoted to chūnin after which they will swear their oaths. The earrings also symbolize that they are considered adults by their respective clans.

Sarutobi Clan
The Sarutobi Clan is an influential clan from Konohagakure. It has produced several renowned members who have held positions of high authority, including the Third Hokage; whose son, Asuma, held membership in the Twelve Guardian Ninja. All known members have also been observed devotees of the Will of Fire.

The Sarutobi are famous for their high willpower, and exceptional strength. The clan also uses hidden Ninjutsu involving the Fire Release nature transformation.

Inuzuka Clan
The Inuzuka Clan is a family of shinobi in Konohagakure known for their use of ninken as fighting companions and are easily identified by the distinctive red fang markings on their cheeks.

Ninken are essentially dogs that have heightened senses and abilities and as such are able to work with ninja. They are called Ninja Dogs.

The members are given their own canine partner when they reach a certain age. Thereafter, the shinobi and their dog are practically inseparable. The shinobi and canine allies fight using Cooperation Ninjutsu, such as the Fang Passing Fang or Fang Rotating Fang techniques amongst others, that take advantage of their teamwork and their sharp claws and teeth. The clan members are also able to communicate with canines even if the dogs cannot talk.

The members of this clan, much like their canine partners, have greatly enhanced senses especially the sense of smell. By concentrating chakra to their noses, this sense is amplified to an even greater extent allowing the user to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from fairly long distance away. The clan's fighting style primarily revolves around their enhanced speed, strength and agility granted by the Four Legs Technique and other canine-based attacks, in conjunction with the tactical advantages granted by their heightened senses.

Tsume Inuzuka is the head of Inuzuka Clan. She has a son and a daughter. Hana Inuzuka is her eldest daughter who is a chūnin as well as an excellent and respected veterinary medical-nin. Kiba Inuzuka is her youngest son. Despite his headstrong and at times egotistic attitude, Kiba is loyal to his comrades and will do anything to protect them with his trusted canine companion, Akamaru, by his side.

Hatake Clan
The Hatake Clan is one of the many clans that reside in Konohagakure. Its only known members are renowned ninja: Konoha's White Fang Sakumo, and his son Copy Ninja Kakashi. Sakumo died years ago, leaving only his son as the clan's head. Kakashi Hatake is a shinobi who is famed as Kakashi of the Sharingan. He is one of Konoha's most talented ninja.

Also, he has a deep hatred of the Kyuubi.

Kurama Clan
The Kurama Clan is a clan of extremely skilled Genjutsu users, exclusive to the anime. This talent in Genjutsu is due to the kekkei genkai that the clan possesses. However, once every few generations, a member of the clan will be born with such enormous skill in Genjutsu that their illusions causes the brain to make anything that happens to the victim within the Genjutsu physically real, allowing the clan member to potentially kill their opponents with Genjutsu.

Such frightening power is not without its drawbacks, however. The user can rarely control the full extent of their abilities, and as such their subconscious will often regulate that power, leading to the creation of a second personality in control of that power. This personality then overwhelms the original, turning the individual into a monster that is a danger to everyone that surrounds them. They were originally one of the more prominent clans in Konohagakure, but the number of ninja in the clan has severely dwindled.

At the moment, only Yakumo Kurama is the last surviving member of the main branch of the Kurama clan, and, as such, the heiress to the clan. Her father Murakumo Kurama and mother Uroko Kurama were accidentally killed when a fire engulfed the Kurama clan's household and killed both of her parents. The cause of the fire was Yakumo's own powers as she was not strong enough to control them.

Unkai Kurama, member of the Kurama clan's branch family is trying to kill Yakumo as her powers are not in her control. However, Yakumo is under the Hokage's protection, so he can't do anything to her ... yet.

Asura will involve Yakumo in his plan for Naruto as well.

After spying on the clan's heads, Asura went back towards the Forest of Death. When he arrived, he saw that Naruto was still training along with his clones. However, he noticed that the number of clones have increased by two fold. Good. The boy is getting good at the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Naruto saw Asura have returned and said, "Hey Sensei. Where you have been?"

Asura said with a smile, "Just exploring this village and getting something for you."

Naruto said, "Really? What did you get me? Wait. Exploring? Didn't you said that you don't want to reveal yourself to other?"

Asura said, "The answer is simple. I didn't revealed myself."

Naruto said in confusion, "Huh?"

Asura said, "Watch closely. Now you see me."

Asura snap his finger and became invisible. He said, "Now you don't."

Naruto and his clone's jaws dropped on the ground and their eyes bulged out of their eye sockets. They saw Asura vanished right in front of their eyes.

Naruto spluttered in shock, "What? Where? How? Who?"

Asura laughed at the boy's reaction while still being invisible. He said, "I'm still here Naruto. You just can't see me. In fact, I am standing right in front of you. Try to touch me."

Naruto came out of his shock and pushed his hands forward. He felt something solid and asked, "Sensei. Is that you?"

Asura ruffled the boy's hair and said, "Yes I am."

Asura then became visible which shocked Naruto who asked, "How did you do that?"

Asura answered, "Magic."

Naruto asked, "Seriously?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yep. Magic defies the laws of physic and go against the universe's law."

Naruto said, "Wow. I wonder If I can use magic. It would be very useful in pranking others."

Asura thought about it and said, "Maybe. But that is a thing for another day. For now, how is your chakra control coming along?"

Naruto said, "I'm getting good at it but still need more training if I want to master this chakra control."

Asura nodded and said, "That's good to hear. For the rest of the day, I want you to continue your Tree Climbing training. Also, make as much Shadow Clones as possible. It will immensely help you with chakra control."

Naruto nodded and went back to his training as he makes several more Shadow Clones. Asura in the mean time created several blank scrolls. He then pulled out the seal in which all of the Jutsu scrolls have been copied, and put it down. Then he put some chakra into the seal and all of the info came out of it in the form of black ink and flew towards the blank scroll. After that, Asura picked up a blank scroll and opened it. He saw that it was no longer blank but had various info about different kinds of Jutsu in them. The rest of the scrolls now had info in them too.

Good. He got loads of info about new Jutsu. He picked one scroll and began to learn the Jutsu. After learning the Jutsu, he went on to the next and then the next and so on. After 6 hours, he learned all of the Jutsu that he got from the Uchiha library. That library was really a treasure trove of Jutsu as it contains all types of Jutsu. Also, he found some Jutsu that he want Naruto to have when he is ready. For now, he burned the scroll away as he already memorized them all and he didn't want them to fall into the wrong hand.

Asura looked up and saw that night time was coming. So he went into the forest to get food. He caught a huge lion beast and killed it. After bringing the dead lion back to the house, he skinned it and harvested its meat. The bones, skin, fur, and non-edible organs of the lion was devoured by him. After that, Asura cleaned the meat and cut them into smaller pieces. Then, he began to cook with with different spices, sauce and stuff.

After making several delicious dishes, he put them on the dining table. Then Asura exited the house and saw Naruto still running up and down the tree, along with his clones as well. He saw that the number of Naruto's clones were at least about 76.

Asura said, "Yo! Naruto! That's enough for today! Come down and eat your dinner!"

Naruto stopped and said, "Okay Sensei!"

Naruto jumped down and dispelled his clones. The sudden transfer of experience and stamina drain, made him fell in exhaustion.

Asura caught him and took him inside the house, towards the dining room. He put Naruto on a chair and put food in front of him.

Asura said, "You have been training very hard today. From this, you got good result. Now eat to your fill."

Asura began to eat his food. Naruto look at the food in front of him as the aroma of the food hit his nose.

Before he touched his food, Naruto asked, "Um Sensei. What kind of meat was used in this food?"

Asura said, "Its lions meat."

Naruto sigh in relief and said, "Oh that's great."

With that he began to eat his food. Asura asked with a grin, "What? You missed the spider dishes I made?"

Naruto spluttered, "Um .. no .. that .. it .. was .. good .. but .. it was delicious. I liked it."

Asura said, "Hmmm. If that's so. Maybe I should find more insects beast and cook them for you. How about that?"

Naruto began to cry anime tears and said,"Awwwww! Sensei!"

Asura continued, "Hmmmm. How about some worms? Worm noodles and spaghetti with meat balls. Maggots Ala Puff Cream. Roasted cockroach in barbecue sauce. Fried grasshoppers covered in heavy chocolate. Fly and mosquito fruit salad with a hint of cinnamon. Caterpillar smoothie with peach and vanilla flavor. Scorpion sandwich with bacon strips."

Naruto covered his ears and screamed as he cried anime tears, "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! No more Sensei! Stop! Please! Or I am going to puke what I have eaten!"

Asura chuckled and said, "Did you already forget Naruto? A ninja can eat anything in order to survive."

Naruto said, "But it not like I don't like eating insects. Its just that the way they look is all creepy crawly and such."

Asura said, "Then simply think of them as food. Sheep, lamb, pig, goat, lion, bear, fish, boar, chicken etc. All of them are food. You just need to see insects in the same way you see the animals as. Did you already forget that you ate spider meat that I made yesterday?"

Naruto thought about it and realized that he indeed ate spider dish yesterday and it was delicious. Maybe he should follow Asura's words as he is right about ninja's eating anything to survive.

Naruto said, "Okay Sensei. You are right. I should do what you say but it would take some time for me to get use to eating insects."

Asura said, "That's good Naruto. But remember, as long as it taste good, its edible. Later, I will also teach you how to cook ingredients and how to make them delicious."

Naruto said, "That's sounds great Sensei."

They then ate their dinner and went to sleep. Naruto's family didn't notice the absence of their eldest son from their home as they just focus their attention on his siblings.

Next Day

The next day, Naruto and Asura got ready, ate breakfast and prepare for the day. However, Naruto was feeling a bit under the weather.

Asura asked, "Are you feeling okay Naruto?"

Naruto moaned a bit and said, "I don't think so Sensei. My body feels like its stiff as a board. It's hard to move my arms and legs without hurting myself."

Asura said, "Ah. It seems that your muscles have become stiff from all the training you have been doing."

Naruto asked, "What do I do to heal them?"

Asura said, "Oh I know how to heal your stiff muscles."

Naruto asked, "Really? What is it?"

Asura said, "Well, today we are going to start with stretching."

Naruto asked, "Stretching?"

Asura nodded and said, "Stretching is an important part of working out Naruto. By stretching your muscles, it allows your blood to flow before you start any strenuous activity while simultaneously allowing you to bend yourself during battle in ways other won't expect. Stretching will also allow your muscles to remain taut and not become too cumbersome, which would weigh you down while hindering your movements. Stretching will also heal your stiff muscles."

Naruto asked, "So doing some stretching exercise will heal my stiff muscles? Okay. What do I need to do?"

Asura said, "I want you to bend down from your waist and touch your toes while keeping your knees locked. When you feel a slight burning in your lower leg muscles, stop and hold that position for as long as you can before stand up."

Naruto nodded and did that. He bend down from his waist and tried touch his toes with his fingertips but he could only reach his ankles.

Naruto said, "Sorry Sensei. I can't reach my toes."

Asura said, "No problem Naruto. This is your first time so your muscles cannot stretch. However, it seems that you are a bit more flexible than others."

Naruto asked, "Really?"

Asura said, "Yeah. If we continue this, it shouldn't take long for you to become limber."

Naruto smiled brightly and held the pose for a few minutes. Asura said, "Okay Naruto. Stand back up. I don't want you to spend too long on any certain stretch. We don't want you to strain one set of muscles too much."

Naruto nodded and said, "Okay. What's next?"

Asura said, "For your next stretching, I want you to set your feet about shoulder-width apart. Then I want you to lean down to your right. This will stretch your right leg. Just like before, stretch until you start to feel a slight burn then stop and hold for a few minutes before releasing it. Then you switch to your left leg."

Naruto nodded and did that. He spread his feet apart about shoulder-width and then him lean down to his right and stretched his right leg. After a few minutes, he leans down to his left and stretched his left leg. He continued this several times before Asura stopped him.

Asura said, "Good. Your doing great."

Naruto said, "Thanks Sensei. What's next?"

Asura said, "Next, I will show you a few arm stretches. These will mainly just allow you a wider ranger of movement with your arms. Now, grab both your hands and raise them above your head like you are making a platform with your palms, facing away from your head."

Naruto did that for a few minutes until Asura gives him the next stretching exercise. He said, "Next, I want you to rotate your upper body left and right, from your waist without moving your lower body. Try to turn as much as possible. This will be a good stretching exercise for your spine and back muscles."

Naruto nodded and did that. he turn his upper body left and right without moving his lower body. After turning left and right for a while, Asura stopped him.

Asura said, "Good. How do you feel after all of that stretching?"

Naruto felt his body as he move around hi limbs and said, "I feel great actually. Like my body is much lighter than before. Is that good?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. That is very good. With this, you would be able to make your body bend in ways that your enemies would not be able to do. With this, you can dodge incoming attacks while also attacking at the same time."

Naruto said, "Cool. Now what?"

Asura said, "That's all the stretching exercise for now Naruto. Next, I will be training you in speed. I want you to run from one side of the clearing to the other side as fast as possible as you can. Then we will see where to go from there."

Naruto nodded and ran from one side to the other side as fast as possible. Asura saw that Naruto was really fast for a 6 year old child. He began to think about increasing his agility and speed. And maybe, teach him some quick movements skills.

When Naruto returned after running, Asura said, "Very good Naruto. You are really fast for someone so young."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thanks. I learned to run fast when I was being chased by several peoples."

Asura frowned at that but smiled and said, "Naruto. Now, I am going to give you something that will help increase your overall speed. When you will be done with this training, you will run around your enemies like a blur. You would be able to cover several miles within one leap. You will become a speedster.

Naruto with stars in his eyes said, "Really? A speedster? That sounds so cool!"

Asura smiled and said, "Yes they are. If you have speed, your enemies won't be able to hit you or see you. But I have to warn you Naruto. The thing that I will be giving to you for this speed training, is something special I made which you won't reveal to others and hide it from everyone else. Got it?"

Naruto nodded and said, "You got it Sensei. What it is?"

Asura pulled out one slip of paper that had some weird writing one it. Asura said, "This is a Gravity Seal I made for you."

Naruto asked, "What's it do?"

Asura said, "The purpose of this seal is that it will increase the gravity of your body by two folds."

Naruto asked, "How that would help me?"

Asura said, "When I will apply this seal on you, your body will feel twice as heavy than before. With the increase in weight, you will run as much as you can. This will help you develop your leg muscles and increase your speed at the same time."

Naruto said, "Ohh. That's very clever. OK! Lay it on me!"

Asura nodded and said, "OK. Take off you shirt."

Naruto asked, "Why?"

Asura said, "This kind of seal must be applied near the heart. From there, you can easily apply chakra into the seal and increase the gravity of your body."

Naruto nodded and took off his shirt. Asura look at the boy's body and saw that he was healthy. No longer was the skinny and malnutrition body but was a body that had small muscles developed around his abs and chest area. Asura smiled that his body has returned back to normal and will be a muscular hunk in the future.

Asura put the gravity seal in the middle of Naruto's chest. The seal stick to his chest and then became one with his flesh.

After the seal was applied, Naruto wore his shirt and Asura said, "There. Now all you have to do is pour a small amount of chakra into the seal and the gravity of your body will increase."

Naruto nodded and poured a small amount of chakra into the seal. When he did, he fell on the ground on his knees and hands. He felt that his body was heavy than before. Almost twice as heavy.

Naruto grunted, "Oh. That's heavy!"

Asura said, "Of course it is. Your body is now twice as heavy than before. Now, you must run around this area as much as you can. Also, make some clones that will help you cover more running. In time, you will get use to it."

Naruto said, "Okay Sensei."

Naruto stand back up and made several Shadow Clones. They all started to run around the area for the rest of the day. In the mean time, Asura began to study Fuinjutsu more. He was really interested in this kind of Jutsu. For the rest of the day, Naruto ran while Asura study and uncover more and more secrets of the Sealing Art.

When night came, Naruto was exhausted and his body was aching but the result was very much positive. Naruto, in one day, became used to twice his body weight. Asura may need to make a gravity seal that will increase the body's weight more than twice. He took Naruto inside the house and they both are dinner and went to bed.

Next Day

The next day, Naruto was very excited for training. Every day, his Sensei would train and teach him new things about ninja.

Naruto asked, "So Sensei. What training would you be giving me today?"

Asura said, "Today, I am going to be teaching you about Stealth."

Naruto asked, "Stealth?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. As you know, ninja's are silent warriors of the night. They use the dark, blend in shadow and move without making any sound. Ninjas are silent warriors but the ninja's of today seem to be showing off their skills rather than being the dark and secretive one."

Naruto said, "So is that bad or good?"

Asura said, "I don't know. It depends on the ninja themselves or the situation. You can be showing off your skill or you would keep your skills hidden and use them only when the situation calls for."

Naruto asked, "So which one should I be?"

Asura think about it and said, "I don't have the answer to your question for at the moment. For now, I am simply training and teaching you in being a ninja."

Naruto said, "Okay. What do I need for this stealth training?"

Asura look at Naruto's clothes and shoes and said, "For now, I will give you an outfit that can be used for stealth."

Asura snap his finger and Naruto clothes glowed bright white. When the light subsided, Naruto was shocked to see that all of his clothes that he wore became black as the dark night. He even has a black face cover.

Naruto said in awe, "Wow! These look really cool."

Asura said, "These are just prototype I have given you. In the future, I will improve your stealth clothes."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thank you for the clothes Sensei."

Asura nodded and said, "Now, I want you to go into the forest and use the terrain to your advantage to hide from me."

Naruto asked, "But how do I do that Sensei?"

Asura said, "Easy. Use the trees, bushes and environment to hide yourself. Use the shadow to blend your body into it. Also, try to suppress your chakra as much as you can."

Naruto asked, "Why do I need to suppress my chakra Sensei?"

Asura said, "When you are hiding yourself, sometimes your enemy may have good sense. If you don't suppress your chakra, then the enemy would be able to sense your chakra and find you. The lower your chakra is suppressed, the lower the chances of you being found are."

Naruto nodded and said, "Thanks for telling me that Sensei."

Asura said, "Your welcome Naruto. Now go into the forest and take detail note of your surrounding. Then find the best place you think it is for you to hide. In 5 minutes, I will come and try to find you. Your training is to hide from me as best as you can. Okay?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes Sensei."

Asura nodded and said, "Good. Now go and hide."

With that Naruto went into the forest and began to find a good place to hide. Asura waited and when 5 minutes were up, he walked into the forest. He began to look around carefully for any sign of Naruto. He would have found Naruto easily with his Pesquisa, Superhuman Smell, Superhuman Hearing, Hair Sensor etc. He didn't want to use his special powers to find Naruto. Asura want's to see how good he can be without his powers. He want's to find Naruto without his skills.

Asura walk around for quite sometime. He used his advance brain to see his surrounding and find clues about Naruto. He found plenty. A crushed flower, foot print on a tree, hand print on the ground, a busted bark, a dept sign in the grass etc. There were several clues that he found about Naruto. As he processes all of these clues with his advance brain, he found where Naruto was hiding. It was a bit difficult for him to do so but with his advance brain, he finally found him. Also, he could sense very little amount of chakra coming from a place far from him.

Up a large tree, was a huge hole in its trunk. Inside the hole was none other than Naruto himself. Asura smiled that he was able to find Naruto, not with his powers but with his brain alone. He was satisfied that he was not useless without his super powers.

Asura shouted, 'Naruto! Nice pl;ace to hide in! You can come out now!"

Naruto peaked out from the hole and saw his Sensei. He then jumped out from the hole and landed in front of his Sensei.

Naruto asked with a smile, "So Sensei. ow did I do?"

Asura smiled and said, "You did great Naruto. It was a bit hard for me to find you."

Naruto said, "Really? I was that good?"

Asura said, "Yes you were. If only you had not left several clues around."

Naruto asked, "What? What clues?"

Asura said, "When you were trying to find a good place to hide, you left behind several clues. Like fore example, a crushed flower, foot print on a tree, hand print on the ground, a busted bark, a dept sign in the grass etc. These are the clues you have left behind. I simply used these clues to find your location."

Naruto became sad about his blunder and said, "I suppose to be hiding but instead I left clues behind. Sorry Sensei."

Asura shook his head and said, "there is no need to apologize Naruto. For being your first time, you did very good. Also, learn from your mistakes. Next time, when you try to hide, try not to disturb the environment. Also, you did good in suppressing your chakra. I felt very little chakra from you when I was trying to find you."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thank you Sensei. What now?"

Asura nodded and said, "We will continue this stealth training for the whole day. So get going and hide again. After 5 minutes, I will come and find you. Also, make several clones and I will find them too."

Naruto nodded and said, "Okay Sensei."

With that Naruto made several Shadow Clones and went to hide again and Asura waited to find him and his clones. The whole day was spend in Naruto's stealth training. Naruto was learning quickly in being stealthy as he moved around with making very small noises. When night came,they ate their dinner and went to sleep.

Next Day

Asura and Naruto woke up, ate breakfast and got ready for the day.

Naruto asked, "What's today's training Sensei?"

Asura said, "Today, I will be teaching you what tools ninja use and how to use them but first."

Asura pulled out two seals and put them on the ground. He made some hand signs and slammed them on the seals as he shouted, "Sealing Art Perfect Sound Barrier" "Fuinjutsu Perfect Sight Barrier"

From the seals, two different kinds of transparent walls were released which spread out around a large area. Mostly around their training ground.

Naruto asked, "What did you do? What are these things?"

Asura said, "I cast an invisible wall that will act as a sound barrier. Any sound that are made will not pass the walls. With this, no matter how loud we may be, no one will be able to hear us. Also, this wall makes us invisible to the outside. This way, we can lay low and hide from others. Your training will go without any disturbance."

Naruto asked, "How did you do that?"

Asura said, "It is a type of Sealing Art that I learn from the scroll."

Naruto said in awe, "Wow. That's really cool! Will you teach me this Sealing Art Sensei?"

Asura nodded and said, "Of course I will Naruto. I am learning the Sealing Art and When I master it, I will teach you everything related to this Jutsu."

Naruto smiled brightly and said, "Thanks Sensei!"

Asura smiled and walk away from Naruto. He then pulled out several scrolls and put them down on the ground. He opened them, made some hand signs and and said, "Release!"

*Poof*

When the smoke subsided, Naruto saw several kinds of sharp tools that ninja use.

Asura bend down and picked up a knife like thing. He said, "This is one of the tools ninja use. Its called a Kunai."

Asura explained, "The kunai is one of the most common ninja tools. It is a black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing but most of the time, ninja use it as a throwing weapon. They can be used for close combat, like a normal knife.The kunai is about the length of one's hand. You remember this one don't you Naruto?"

Naruto realized what his Sensei was talking about. How couldn't he know it when he used a kunai to take his own life by piercing his own heart. Naruto lower his head in sorrow and shame.

Naruto said in a low sad tone, "Yes Sensei."

Asura sensed his sorrow and sigh. He said, "Naruto. You need to let that go and look forward to the future. Remember, I am here for you and I will make a bright future for you where you will be happy. Okay?"

Naruto smile sadly and said, "Thank you Sensei."

Asura smiled and said, "Good. Now where was I? Oh yeah. I will show you how to use a kunai."

Asura when towards a tree and attack it as he said, "You can either use a kunai to *Slash* cut at your enemies or *Shik* stab them. If you do stab them, then try to hit their vital areas. The Kunai can also be used to block incoming attack."

Asura then jumped back and throw the Kunai at the tree, stabbing it. He said, "You can also use the Kunai as a throwing weapon."

Asura walk back towards the weapon pile and said, "Now, for the next ninja tool."

Asura bend down and pinked up a circular object that had several pointed spike edges. He said, "This is another one of the tools ninja use. Its called a Shuriken."

Asura explained, "The Shuriken are one of the more basic weapons a ninja use. They are sharpened, four-pronged metal stars. They also come in various size and shape. Shuriken are basically used for throwing at your enemies. They can also be used for close combat, but they are not very efficiently in that. Although Shuriken are small, they can be used in a number of ways. Like distract the enemy, pin down enemy shinobi. If you have a very good accuracy, then Shuriken can be used to kill or even incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the center, useful for grabbing with a finger in order to avoid cutting oneself. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories."

Asura throw several of them at a tree where all of them *Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk* were embedded in the tree trunk.

Asura then picked up a small blade like thing but it was not a blade at all. Asura said, "This little thing thatI hold is a special Shuriken. It is called a Fuma Shuriken."

*Click* *Shukin*

The blade then spread around with a total of four blades like a much bigger Shuriken than the small ones.

Asura explained, "Just like the Shuriken, the Fuma Shuriken is a large, four-bladed shuriken possessing pre-eminent sharpness and lethality. The Fuma Shuriken is basivally used for throwing at a bunch of enemy because of its size. However, an experience ninja can also used these in melee combat, by spinning the blade in one's hand to slash and stab the opponent directly. It can be easily carried around as its four blades can be collapsed for easy storage."

Asura ran towards a tree while spinning the Fuma Shuriken with a finger and *Shing* slashed at the tree trunk. The Fuma Shuriken cut deep into the tree trunk as it worked like a chain saw. Asura jumped back and throw the Fuma Shuriken at the tree and cut half of it.

Asura walk back to the weapon pile and picked up some very thin needles that were 10 Inch long. He said, "These are also ninja tools that are called Senbon."

Asura explained, "Senbon are metal needles with a point at both ends. They often serve a medical purpose, being used to strike acupuncture points. The Senbon are used by a few ninja because they have little killing power, but can be thrown with great accuracy. However, in the hands of ninja with proper medical knowledge, then he can effectively use senbon in battle to incapacitate or even kill their target by aiming for the body's vital spots."

Asura first went towards a tree and made some X marks on its trunk. He then walk away from the tree and said, "Watch at marks on the tree trunk."

Asura picked up 10 Senbon and aimed for the marks. He then threw the Senbon at the tree and *Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk* accurately hit all of the marks.

Naruto watched in shock at the 100% accuracy his Sensei just demonstrated. Asura said, "Like I said, the Senbon may lack killing power but it can overcome its lack of power with good accuracy. An added benefit of throwing these at the enemy is that these are smaller than a kunai or a shuriken, making it harder to see and dodge."

After that, Asura picked up some threads and spread them apart between his fingers. He said, "This is another tool the ninja use. They are called Wire Strings."

Asura explained, "Wire strings are thin pieces of wires that are highly durable and can be used for a variety of purposes. Such as rappelling, manipulating weapons, binding and restricting the movements of an opponent or setting traps. An experienced ninja can use them to his advantage or even shredding the enemies."

Asura throw the wires and wrapped it around a tree. He then pulled with such strength, that the wires around the tree trunk began to sink into it as it cuts it way through the tree bark. With more strength, the wires were able to *Shing* shred the tree trunk into several pieces.

After that, Asura picked up a paper with weird writing on it. Naruto said, "What is that paper your holding Sensei?"

Asura said, "This is no ordinary paper Naruto. It is another ninja tool called Explosive Tags."

Asura explained, "Explosive Tags are scraps of paper inscribed with a special writing. These pieces of papers are infused with chakra and can be exploded in different ways. They can either explode after a set amount of time or after they are ignited by flame. You can also remotely detonate them by yourself from a distance. Ninja can also confuse their enemies by obtaining fake explosive tags to either scare them or make them focus on it. They are very versatile and one of the basic ninja tools."

Asura took a kunai and said, "There are a number of ways to use them. You can use the Explosive Tags by attaching it to a surface or wrapped around a weapon to be thrown at an enemy. Like for example, wrapping an Explosive Tag around the handle of a Kunai and then throw it at the enemy but aim it at the ground under them. This use of the weapon is known as an explosive kunai."

Asura wrapped an Explosive Tag around the handle of the kunai and threw it at a tree. When the kunai *Thunk* hit the tree trunk, Asura made a "Snake" hand sign which detonated the Explosive tag.

*Boom*

Naruto watch with wide eyes as the tree trunk was blown to smithereens. Asura said, "The Explosive Tag work even under heavy rain. Also, if you want to detonate an explosive tag, you will need to use the Snake hand sign. Similarly, when used remotely, explosive tags can be detonated in sequence, allowing them to be used to trap opponents."

Asura took a Fuma Shuriken and attacked a wire to it. He said, "You can use the ninja tooks together like for example this Fuma Shuriken is attached to a wire. Now watch what happens as I throw it and pull the wire."

Asura threw the Fuma Shuriken and after covering a few distance, he pulled the wire.

*Click*

The four blades on the Fuma Shuriken disconnect and were fired in four different direction. One blade hit a tree, one hit a boulder, one hit the ground and he last one cut a bush.

Asura said, "With using wires as a control switch, you can trick your enemies and confuse them with these kinds of tactic. They are mainly used as a surprise attack. Also, you can use wires to control Shuriken to where they go. You can maneuver their flight path in order to reach their targets. Wires can be used to keep Kunai up the user's sleeve on spring-loaded wires. Shinobi appear to favor them so much due to both their sturdy and dependable nature as well as their evident versatility."

Asura took out a Senbon and said, "There is another way to make Senbon lethal. You can make these needles more effective by poisoning the tips of the Senbon. "

Naruto just watch with eyes wide as dinner plates and his jaw on the ground. He knew that ninja use tools in their fight but he didn't know that it can be used in ways he never thought about.

Asura asked, "So, are you ready to learn all of this?"

Naruto came out of his shock and said, "Yes Sensei! I am ready to learn all of this!"

Asura nodded and said, "Good. I want to make a group of clones for each of the tools. A group of clones will learn how to use one weapon while the other group learn how to use the other. There are Kunai, Shuriken, Fuma Shuriken, Senbon, Wire Strings and Explosive Tags. I want you to create one group for each of them and train yourself in using them. For the rest of the day, you will get to learn how to use ninja tools."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes Sensei!"

Naruto then made several clones and divided them into 6 groups who then took one type of weapon and began to train with them. Naruto himself was included in one of the group. Naruto and his clones kept on training with the ninja tools for the whole day. Asura saw that Naruto's progress in ninja tools were going smoothly. With the help of shadow clones, Naruto would be able to learn very fast when compared to others. When night came, they ate dinner and went to sleep.

Next Day

They both got ready for the day after eating their breakfast.

Naruto asked, "What's today's training Sensei?"

Asura said, "I see that your chakra control is coming great Naruto. So today, I am going to give you an advance training."

Naruto asked, "Advance training? What's that?"

Asura said, "Wait here."

Asura moved away from Naruto and walk towards a clearing. He look around and saw that it was a good area for Naruto's training. So he gathered energy into his right arm and its muscle bulged in size which shocked Naruto. Asura then *Crash* hit the ground and said, "Explosion Punch Time 10"

After punching the ground, Asura walk away from that area. *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* Shockwaves were released in that area, the ground began to break apart. After the last shockwave was released, dust flew out everywhere. After the dust subsided, Naruto saw that a huge 60 foot wide, 20 foot deep crater was formed where Asura punched the ground.

Naruto asked, "What was that!? What's this crater for!?"

Asura said, "For your first question, its a special offensive skill of mine in which I store energy into my fist. When I punch my enemy, the energy is transferred into them in the form of shockwave that damages them from the inside out."

Naruto with star in his eyes said, "That's so cool!"

Asura look at the huge crater and made some hand signs as he said, "As for your second question, "Water Style Bullet Orca"

Asura shot a small compressed ball of water from his mouth. The water ball hit in the center of the crater and *Splash* exploded in tons of water. Soon the crater was full of water. Naruto look in awe when his Sensei did that.

Asura said, "This water pool will be used for your next advance training."

Naruto asked, "What is this advance training Sensei?"

Asura didn't say anything and put one foot on the water and then the other one. Naruto was shocked to see his Sensei walking on the surface of the water without sinking down.

Asura said, "This will be your next training. It is an advance version of tree climbing training. This is called Water Walking which is an advance form of chakra control training. This training method is used to gain better chakra control."

Naruto didn't talk or move. He simply look at his Sensei with wide eyes and jaw agape. His Sensei was literally standing on the surface of water!

Asura said, "In order to do this, you will need to emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of your feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. This technique is more difficult to master than the tree climbing training you have been doing."

Naruto came out of his shock and asked, "Why is that Sensei? All I see is taht your standing and walking on water which by the way looks very cool!"

Asura smiled and said, "Because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly. If one master this, then instead of just walking or running, they can use their chakra to skate across the water surface, like an ice skater."

Asura demonstrated this by skating across the surface of the water. He said, "The more one trains this technique, the more they reach a state where they stand on water without even noticing it or basically even trying."

Asura then jump up and landed on his hands without sinking into the water. He said, "Also, it doesn't have to just be at the feet. A user under water can focus chakra on their hands or any other body part that makes contact with the surface of the water and climb atop the water as if they were climbing out of a pool."

Asura flip himself and landed back on his feet. He said, "Naruto. I want you to do this training and try to use your whole body to get use to walking on water."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes Sensei."

Before Naruto could get close to the pond, Asura stopped him and said, "Naruto. Before you begin this training, I want you to take off your clothes, except for your pants."

Naruto asked, "Why Sensei?"

Asura said, "Because this is your first time, which means that you would fail in your first try and get your clothes wet. You don't want to get your clothes wet now do you?"

Naruto nodded as he understood what his Sensei was say was right. He took off all of his clothes except for his pants. He then slowly put one foot on the water and try to stick it on the surface of the water. After doing it a couple of time, his foot sticks to the water surface. Then he try to put his other foot on the water but as he did, he lost his focus and fell into the water.

Naruto came out of the water and tried again but he failed and fell into the water again. Naruto groan and came out of the water and try to do it again.

Asura said, "Naruto. In this training, you don't need to rush it. Water walking requires a lot of patience in order to get a hold of it."

Naruto said, "Yes Sensei."

Naruto continued to stand on the water but failed every time. After doing it for a few hours, he finally did it.

Naruto exclaimed, "Sensei! Look! I did it! I'm standing on the water!"

Asura saw that Naruto was now able to stand on water. He was able to do that within a few hours.

Asura said, "That is very good progress Naruto. Now I want you to create several shadow clones and get them to train with you on water walking. This should speed up your advance chakra control training. Continue to train for the rest of the day in water walking."

Naruto smiled and said, "Yes Sensei!"

Naruto made several shadow clones who joined Naruto in walking on water. After 6 hours of training, Naruto and his clones were able to walk on the surface of water.

Asura said, "Good progress Naruto. Now let me up your training a bit."

Asura bend down and put his hand into the water. From his hand, several several fishes began to came out and started to swing around the pond. Naruto was shocked and amazed to see several fishes coming out from his Sensei's hand. From the fishes rapid swimming, ripples formed on the water surface which made Naruto and his clones to disturb their concentration and fall into the water.

Naruto came out of the water and asked, "How did I fell into the water? I was able to walk on it fine a few moments ago. So why?"

Asura said, "You and your clones were able to walk on still water but when a small ripple on the surface of the water, it will disturb your chakra control a bit. With the fishes swing in the pond, they will continue to make ripples in the water. Now, you will need to constantly change and manage your chakra control as you try to stand and walk on water."

Naruto asked, "Why did you make this difficult for me Sensei? This is only about chakra control."

Asura said, "Naruto. Sometime you would face an enemy while running on water. The water in those areas would not be still like here. The water will move around like waves which will make you sink into the water. At that moment, you will die as the enemy will take this chance to kill you. Do you want your enemy to have an advantage on you when you can't stay on moving water?"

Naruto thought about it and understood that his Sensei was right about this. If he can't even do this, then he would die on his mission.

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes Sensei. I understand."

Asura said, "Naruto. Understand this. Whatever I am teaching you is necessary for you to become a good ninja. When you learn all of these basic training, then you are ready for some intense training. I plan to make you a very strong shinobi."

Naruto smiled widely at that. A strong shinobi. He likes it. He said, "Thank you Sensei. I won't let you down."

Asura smiled and said, "I know you won't Naruto. You are a pure soul. Now, lets continue your training. This water walking will be for today's training."

Naruto nodded and made several clones, who all began to train. For a while, Naruto and his clones were sinking in the water from the ripples but after continuing, he was able to at least stand on the rippling water. That is a good progress in Asura's eyes. For the rest of the day, Naruto and his clones continued their training. When night came, Asura and Naruto ate their dinner and went to their beds.

Next Day

The next morning, Asura and Naruto ate their breakfast and got ready for the day.

Asura said, "Naruto. For today's training, I will be ... training you in pain tolerance."

Naruto asked, "Pain tolerance?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. Pain tolerance is the level of pain that a shinobi is able to tolerate. Like for example, if an enemy stab you through your leg, it causes you great pain. From that pain, you won't be able to move your body for a few seconds and that is all the enemy needs to kill you off. However, if you learn to push away or ignore the pain, then you will live and win against your enemy."

Naruto said, "Oh. Sounds reasonable. So what do I do?"

Asura sigh and said, "Naruto. In order to increase your pain tolerance, you will need to get hurt to a limit."

Naruto said, "Oh. I get it. So lets get this over with Sensei."

Asura look at him with wider eyes and asked, "You won't ask me to refuse this training or even ask for another way?"

Naruto said, "Sensei. I know that ninjas are somewhat resistance to pain and what you said about my body not responding due to pain is right. I need to increase my pain tolerance so I won't be stopped from pain. Don't worry Sensei. I'll get use to it in time."

Asura was shocked and amazed to hear such thing from a 6 year old child. He thought about another way for increasing Naruto's pain tolerance and got an idea but it still requires the boy to be hurt.

Asura said, "Okay Naruto. I will begin by beating you but I won't use my full strength considering that with just one of my punches can kill anyone. I will go easy on you and in the end, I will heal all of your bruises."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes Sensei. Come at me!"

Asura nodded and begin to beat Naruto. He didn't like hurting the boy but it needs to be done. Also, he plans to make another surgery on Naruto when he loses his conscious. He punch and kicked Naruto with low enough strength where the boy would survive. The beating of Naruto continue for a while which amazed Asura. For a child to take on this kind of pain and still won't lose his conscious is amazing. Maybe Naruto is use to pain from the beatings he receive from the stupid villagers.

After Naruto lost his conscious from the beating, Asura immediately performed the surgery. He first cocooned Naruto in red membrane. Inside the cocooned, the virus healed all of the boy's bruises and broken bone. After the healing was done, Asura commanded the virus to seep inside Naruto's body. The virus obeyed and seeped into the boy's body. Inside Naruto, Asura used to virus to perform a microscopic surgery.

What surgery was this? This surgery was about Naruto's Pain receptors. The virus began to change them. After a while, the surgery was finished. With the new and improved Pain receptors, Naruto will feel not only less pain than before but he will get use to the pain a lot faster than before. Naruto will become a shinobi with one huge pain tolerance. After the surgery was done, all of the virus, along with the red membrane, returned back into Asura's hand.

Asura saw Naruto in perfect condition without any bruises. He lay him down on the ground gently and waited for him to wake up. After a while, Naruto moved and opened his eyes.

Naruto groaned and said, "Uhhhhhhh .... What hit me?"

Asura said, "I'm sorry Naruto. You lost conscious from the beating."

Naruto said, "Its okay Sensei. I don't blame you for beating me. Its a part of my training that I have accepted."

Asura smiled at the boy's determination. Naruto stand back up and when he did, he felt okay.

Naruto said, "Wow. My body don't feel any pain."

Asura said, "While you were unconscious, I healed your bruises."

Naruto said, "Wow. That's amazing. Now lets continue Sensei."

Asura nodded and began to beat him again. When Naruto was being beaten, he noted that he didn't felt that much pain than before.

Naruto said, "What's this? I don't feel that much pain than before. Am I becoming use to it already?"

Asura said, "It seems so Naruto. Also, since you have received many beatings from the villagers, your body is getting use to pain. With the progress you are making, it won't be long when you can ignore lethal pain with ease."

Asura didn't told Naruto about the surgery. He didn't want Naruto to have a big ego like the Uchiha and Hyuga.

Naruto said, "That's amazing! Lets continue Sensei."

For the rest of the day, Naruto was beaten and healed and then beaten again and healed again. When night came, they both ate their dinner and went to sleep.

Next Day

When Naruto got ready for the next day, he was excited to learn new things. He asked, "Sensei. What will I learn to do today?"

Asura said, "Naruto. In the past few days, I have taught you all of the basic things you need to learn when becoming a shinobi. Now all you have to do is make several clones and make them train in all of the things I taught you. While your clones are busy with training, you will be training to increase your pain tolerance. For the next month, I want you to get use to everything I taught you and become very good at it."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes Sensei."

Asura said, "Also, to make your pain tolerance training interesting, you will be fighting me with everything you got. You will use all of the thing's you have learn and fight me. This will give you an idea about Taijutsu."

Naruto nodded and made several clones. They began to train in every things their Sensei trained him. From chakra control, stealth to ninja tools etc. For the next entire month, Naruto fought his Sensei and his clones trained repeatedly on the basic of being a ninja.

A Month Later

For an entire month, Naruto trained hard every day. Naruto has been working day in and day out until he could no longer move everyday. It comes as no surprise at how strong he is considering how hard he trained.

Also, during training, something unexpected happened that made Naruto happy. When Naruto was given a break from his training, he roamed the village while hiding his presence from the everyone else. Naruto has become very good at hiding his presence. As he was walk around, he heard some commotion near a park.

Naruto dashed towards the commotion and when he landed on a tree branch without making any noise, he became angry at what he saw.

Behind a tree were four individuals. One was a girl about his age while the other three were boys who were a bit older than him. He look closely at the girl and saw that it was a Hyuga girl. He saw that the boys were threatening her.

Boy No. 1 said, "Hey look. Its a Hyuga."

The girl said, "Um p-please let m-me go. I d-don't want to-"

Boy No. 2 said, "Oh. So she thinks that she is better than us?"

The girls said, "N-no I d-don't t-think I am b-better than-"

Boy No. 3 said, "We'll show you how better we are you Hyuga!"

Naruto was surprised to see the Hyuga girl not beating the boys for insulting and threatening her. He saw that the girl was very shy. A complete opposite of what a Hyuga is. Naruto saw the three boys cornered the girl and were about to attack her. He would not let the girl get hurt just because she is a part of the Hyuga clan.

Naruto pulled out wire strings and throw them at the boys. As the boys moved in to hit the girl, they stopped as their bodies were not responding to them. The wires were wrapped around them which restricted their movements. Naruto them pulled them into a bush where he beat them and tied them up without even revealing himself.

The Hyuga girl was very scared at what happened. First she was being threatened by some boys then they were about to hit her but that didn't came as the boys were pulled into a bush and heard someone beating them. After a while, it was silent. Then out of the bush, a boy jumped out and landed in front of her.

The Hyuga girl looked closely at the one who may have saved her from the other boys. She saw that the boy look to be about her age and had bright blond hairs. There were also three marks on each of the boy's cheek which made him look cute. The boy wore a white shirt and black pants. She could clearly see that the boy had some muscles underneath his clothes. This made her face blush red.

Naruto look at the girl and asked, "Hey you. Are you okay? Why is your face red? Are you coming down with a fever?" As usual, Naruto is a block head.

The girl stutter, "N-no I'm f-fine. I-its nothing."

Naruto said, "Oh. Okay."

The girl asked, "Um e-excuse me b-but w-who are y-you?"

Naruto smiled widely and said, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Good to meet you. What's your name?"

The girl said, "I um M-my n-name is H-hinata."

Naruto said, "Hinata? That's a cute name for a cute girl."

Hinata entire face blushed furiously. Someone called her name cute and her cute as well. She lower her head and began to twiddle with her finger.

Hinata asked, "Um a-are you the o-one who s-saved me f-from them?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yup. That's me alright."

Hinata asked, "Um w-why? Is it b-because I'm a H-hyuga?"

Naruto shook his head and said, "No. I don't care who you are or which clan your from. I just don't like unjustified beating. Besides, I don't want a cute girl like you to get hurt."

Hinata blushed hard again. There were many people who envied the Hyuga and scorned them but here she meets a boy who didn't care about that and saved her. She also began to feel something in her stomach. It was like something was fluttering inside her stomach.

Hinata said, "T-thank you N-naruto."

Naruto smiled widely and said, "Your welcome Hinata. So wanna be my friend and hang out with me?"

Hinata blushed and smiled softly. She nodded and said, "I w-would like t-to be y-your f-friend Naruto."

Naruto smiled and said, "Great! Lets go. I know some place where we won't be disturbed."

Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand, which made her blush, and pulled her to a nearby park. When they left, a huge figure came out from the shadow. This figure was none other than Asura who was smiling at Naruto's first friend.

This was all in Asura's plan. He gave Naruto a break from training because he knew that the girl Hinata would be in trouble as he send out some clones to keep him inform about interesting things. During the month, Asura gave Naruto several breaks and allowed Naruto to roam the village. Asura's plan was to make Naruto meet the heir of the clan's heads. In that time, he not only meet them but became friends with as well.

Chōji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara are best friends with each other. Naruto meet them when they were sitting under a tree as Shikamaru was watching clouds while Chōji ate a bag of chips. After spending some time with them, Naruto became their friend as they enjoyed his company.

Ino Yamanaka was being bullied a some girls just for being part of a clan. So Naruto pranked the bullies by throwing a rubber ball filled with paint, at the bullies. When the ball his, they exploded and dyed their hairs with random colors which scared them off. Ino thanked Naruto for saving her from the bullies as she blushed a bit when she checked him out and saw his muscles. Soon they became friends with each other.

Sakura Haruno was being bullied by a bunch of boys who teased her about her wide forehead. Naruto saved her by tying the bullies with wire and tossed them away. She thanked him for saving her. Naruto still saw that she was sad, so he asked her why she was sad. She said that the bullies made fun of her wide forehead. Naruto said that having a wide forehead means that she must be smart which made the girl happy. Later on, Sakura became his friend.

Shino Aburame was busy in finding and study new bugs when Naruto meet him. Naruto too was interested in bugs. So he join in finding bugs with Shino which soon became friendship between them.

Kiba Inuzuka was training with his dog Akamaru. Naruto was eating some bear meat when he found them exhausted after their training. He saw the little dog looking at his food will his mouth drooling. Naruto smiled and gave a big piece of bear meat to the little dog who began to eat it. Naruto also shared his meat with Kiba who accepted it and ate it. With that, they became friends.

Rock Lee was devastated when he found out that he could not use Ninjutsu. To ease his sorrow, Lee trained in Taijutsu in an empty training ground. Naruto found him and asked him if he could train with him. To which Lee gave his permission to. Naruto then began to train along with Lee in Taijutsu. During training, Naruto gave Lee some points in Taijutsu which Lee listen carefully. Lee saw how hard Naruto trained and was inspired by him. He to began to work hard in becoming a shinobi who specialize in Taijutsu. Lee was very thankful to Naruto for giving him a reason to keep on going and became friend with him.

Tenten is a young girl who strives to emulate her and become a powerful kunoichi. She idolizes the Sannin Tsunade for her strength. Naruto found her training in ninja weapons. He saw that she was trying to use several swords, blades, kunai, shuriken etc but was having some difficulty. Naruto then helped her in using them. Tenten was very thankful for Naruto's help and became friend with him.

Naruto also went to eat his sole food ramen from Ramen Ichiraku. The owner of the shop, Teuchi and Ayame were very kind and friendly to him. They both knew what Naruto held but didn't see him as that demon but as a child. They are happy whenever Naruto visits their shop and they welcome him with open arms. Teuchi and Ayame both cared about the boy's health.

Asura smiled that Naruto has made many friends in this village. Even the clan's head liked the boy except a few of them. Those being the head of Uchiha and Hyuga. The head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga didn't like the boy because he see him as a weak boy. In his eyes, Naruto was worthless. Hiashi instead liked the boy's siblings, Menma and Narumi for holding the Kyubi's chakra.

The head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha despised the boy for he didn't like the Hokage Minato. His hatred was for the Kyubi who were sealed into the three children. His wife Mikoto Uchiha didn't hate the children. She liked them and once, she even took care of Naruto when she saw his bruised body after he was beaten by an angry mob.

Menma hang out with Neji and Saskue which was a bad idea. He picked up their arrogance about fate and being better than the rest. Naruto avoided them like a plague whenever it was possible. Narumi acted like a spoiled brat. She would use her clan's name to get whatever she wants.

Over the month, Naruto trained hard, his progress was good with the help of shadow clones. His friendship with Hinata grew more but he was too dumb and knucklehead to realize the she have a crush on him. Also, sometime later, he met Hinata's little sister, Hanabi. He became friends with her as well. His friendship also grew with Ino as well. He also hang out with his other friends.

Asura has send an invisible clone to keep an eye on the little girl, Yakumo Kurama, heir of the Kurama clan. He ordered his clone to keep her safe as Yakumo's uncle plans to get rid of her. The clone obeyed his order and look out for the girl. Asura has plans for her in the future.

Everything was going great for Naruto. He got a Sensei who trained him in the art of ninja. He got peoples who became his friends. Life for Naruto was going great. That is until one day that broke Naruto heart in two pieces. It happened on Naruto's birthday.

Naruto's Birthday

This was the day in which all three children were born on the same day. However, the parents neglected Naruto for Menma and Narumi and made a birthday party for them and not Naruto. Heck, they even made a banner which said "Happy Birthday Menma and Narumi!"

Fucking piece of trash! They are clearly ignoring their eldest son!

All of the clan's heads and their children were there to attend the children's party. Even some civilians and their children were there as well. Naruto was of course there too. Since it was his birthday too but it sadden him to see how they forget about his birthday, which was on the same day as his siblings!

Asura was there while being invisible to every one. He was there only for Naruto's sake. He told Naruto that he didn't want to come but the boy used his secret weapon on him. The infamous puppy dog eyes! Asura couldn't stand that cute attack and agreed to come to his birthday but on the condition that he would not be seen by anyone else.

Asura saw that the clan's heads were busy talking with Minato and Kushina while the civilian's children were around Menma and Narumi as they boast about being the child of prophecy and being strong. Neji and Saskue were with them as well as they consider themselves to be better than the others. Even Sakura was with them or more specifically with Saskue.

However, the other heirs of the clans were spending their time with Naruto. His friends Hinata, Hanabi, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba with his dog Akamaru, Lee and Tenten were with him. They didn't like Menma and Narumi for their behaviors of superiority complex and arrogance.

After a while Minato announced, "Okay everyone! Its time for Menma and Narumi to open their presents!"

Menma and Narumi cheer at that along with their supporters. Many presents were given to the two children but not one of them was for Naruto. Jiraiya gave them the Toad Summoning contract and Tsunade gave them the Slug Summon contract. Menma took the Toad Summoning and Narumi took the Slug Summoning contract.

Naruto look at them and became sad. All of the things and attention were being given to his siblings. He didn't want any present. Just some attention from his family. Mikoto saw Naruto's sadness and wanted to comfort him. She brought him a present hidden from everyone else. She plans to give it to Naruto when he is alone.

Naruto's friends saw the sorrow in his eyes and stayed with him to comfort him. Hinata and Hanabi hugged him as they felt his sorrow but Naruto's sorrow only increased ten fold at what happened next.

Minato and Kushina gained everyone's attention. Kushina said, "Now its time for our gifts. I give you two these two swords made from a very rare metal. They are very tough and its sharpness can cut through anything."

Menma and Narumi took the swords and look at it in awe. Minato came forward and said, "My gift for you two is that I and Kushina have agreed to make you two the heirs of the Namikaze-Uzumaki Clan."

Menma and Narumi were excited to have that. Neji and Saskue smirked that it was the right thing for them to have that. Hiashi Hyuga nodded in acknowledgment. The other supporters Menma and Narumi cheered for them. Fugaku Uchiha didn't care who became the clan heir.

However, not everyone were happy with that news. The other clan's heads were furious with that decision. That right was for their eldest son Naruto. Even the clan's heir were angry at that decision.

Naruto looked like his world was snatched away from him. It was his birth right and his parents took it away from him and gave it to his younger siblings. Was he nothing to them anymore?

Asura was seething with rage as he glared at the boy's parents. He could not believe what he was hearing and wanted nothing more than to rip out their souls and devour them. He look back at Naruto and saw him leaving quietly and going up to his room. He saw how his friends look sadly at Naruto. Hinata, Hanabi and Ino went with him so they could comfort him.

Asura turn back towards Minato and Kushina and was about to hurt, maim, mutilate, tear, crush, torture and kill them for what they did to Naruto but he stopped when someone else beat him to it.

Mikoto Uchiha came forward and said, "Kushina. How dare you do that."

Kushina said, "Do what Mikoto?"

Mikoto said, "How dare you take away Naruto's birth right."

Minato said, "What's Naruto's birth right?"

Inoichi Yamanaka said, "Naruto is you eldest son. How can you take away his right for clan heir?"

Minato said, "You don't have to worry about Naruto. He is weak and would be a bad choice for being a clan heir."

Chōza Akimichi said, "How can you say that Naruto is weak. Did you and Kushina even train him?"

Minato said, "No. We didn't. We have been focusing our attention in training Menma and Narumi so that they can wield the fox's chakra."

Shikaku Nara said, "Troublesome. Of course Naruto would be weak if you didn't even bother to train him. No one is born strong. Everyone starts as weak ones."

Hiashi Hyuga said, "Why are you talking about that ... failure. He is weak and is not worthy to be a clan heir. Just like my eldest daughter."

Mikoto said, "You would always say that to the weak. Hinata is a precious child who had took the kindness of her mother."

Hiashi Hyuga said, "Don't meddle in the Hyuga affairs Mikoto."

Mikoto said, "That's Mikoto Uchiha to you Hyuga."

Minato shouted, "Enough! No one is going to argue her on my children's birthday party. Naruto is weak and he is nothing. Menma and Narumi will be the clan's heir and that's final."

The clan's heads only glared at their Hokage and left with their children. Asura turn around and was about to go to see how Naruto was doing but stopped when he Mikoto going up the stair. He followed her towards Naruto's room and enter it. In the room, he saw Naruto sitting on his bed with Hinata, Hanabi and Ino hugging him and comforting him.

Asura smiled softly at Naruto as he is not alone here. Mikoto came forward and hugged Naruto too. She said, "Naruto. Are you okay?"

Naruto said nothing and just nodded. Mikoto smiled softly and pulled out a small box. She said, "Naruto. I have a present for you."

Naruto's eyes opened wide when he look at the gift box. Mikoto gave the box to Naruto who opened it. Inside the box, was a scroll.

Naruto asked, 'What is this Mikoto-san?"

Mikoto said, "Naruto. This is a secret scroll that contains a rare fire style Jutsu. It was one of my Jutsu that I made it myself."

Naruto look at her with wide eyes and asked, "Are you really giving me something precious as this?"

Mikoto smiled and said, "Of course Naruto. Its my gift to you. Just don't tell my husband or anyone else because I have kept it hidden from everyone else."

Naruto smiled and shed tears of joy. He hugged her and said, "Thank you for this Mikoto-san."

Mikoto smiled and hugged him. She said, "Happy birthday Naruto."

Asura smiled as he look at Naruto's happy face. The girls were also happy that Naruto got something for his birthday and hugged him. With that, Asura left them and went back to the house in the Forest of Death and slept for the night.

A Week Later

Naruto was very happy and energetic after his birthday. Why? Because of the present he received from Mikoto Uchiha. The scroll contained one unique but powerful Jutsu if mastered correctly. It was called "Fire Style Flame Beam". This fire Jutsu allows the user to gather chakra into one's hand and then launch a fire beam out from their palms, that will incinerate the enemies. A very unique Jutsu which was created by Mikoto Uchiha.

Asura helped Naruto in learning this Jutsu but it was taking time for him to learn as it was a very difficult and hard Jutsu to learn. At present, Naruto was only able to shoot flames from his palms at 4 foot long. Any more than that and the flames disappear. However, in time, Naruto will be able to master this Jutsu.

Even though Naruto looked happy on the outside, he was very sad on the inside. It was all because of the thing that happened at his birthday. His parents took away his right to be the clan heir and gave it to his younger siblings. Naruto by no means hated or envy his siblings. He loves them like a big brother but after seeing how arrogant and spoiled they became, he tried to keep his distance away from them and avoid them.

All Naruto wish for is to gain a little bit of attention from his parents and receive a bit of their love for him. Maybe he could get some today? Naruto thought about gaining his parents attention by showing how good he is now.

Naruto asked, "Sensei. Can I take a bit of a break today?"

Asura smiled and said, "Sure thing Naruto. You trained hard for today. Go ahead and take the rest of the day off."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thank you Sensei!"

With that, Naruto ran from the Forest of Death as he avoided the beast of the forest. Asura was happy that Naruto was cheerful but a bit confused as to why the boy asked for a break from his training. It was rare for him to ask to stop his training for some break. Asura just shrug and went back on learning more Sealing Art.

After 10 minutes of learning, his instinct flared which alarmed him. He immediately used "Pesquisa" and scanned his surroundings for any enemy. However, he didn't find any human. Only the forest's beast. So what was his instinct warning him about? His eyes widen when he realized what his instinct was telling him.

Naruto.

Asura smelled Naruto's scent and immediately dashed towards him. From the scent's direction, he assumed that Naruto was at his home. The Namikaze-Uzumaki compound.

With Naruto A Few Moment's Ago

Naruto ran towards his house. He wanted to meet with his parents and show them how good he has become from his secret training with his Sensei. He hoped that his parents would give some attention to him with they see his skills. Naruto continues to run towards his house and hope that this will get his parents attention.

Naruto entered his father's compound and went straight to the back yard hoping that his father was still teaching his younger siblings. To his luck, he was still there along with his mother Kushina and his siblings. They were all eating food in the dining room.

Naruto approached his parents and said, "Dad! Mom!"

The two of them turned to see their son walking toward them; inwardly they rolled their eyes knowing what he would want.

Minato asked, "What is it?"

Naruto said, "I was wondering if I could show you guys something?"

Minato said, "Show us something? Fine go ahead and show us."

Naruto said, "Come outside."

Minato, Kushina and Naruto went outside. Naruto then ran over to the closest tree and without using hand signs anymore he ran up the tree using only his chakra, hanging for a few seconds he jumped back down. He had a smile on his face as he looked up at his parents face to see them shock and awe.


















But to his dismay, that didn't happen. Minato and Kushina both had faces of pure anger. Kushina gritted her teeth at the display her son had done. Minato was about to move to berate him, but Kushina however mover faster.

Naruto asked, "So what do you think?"

*Slap* *Crash*

The answer came in the form of a thunderous slap across his face that sent him flying into the tree he had run up.

Kushina yelled, "You stupid little bastard! What the hell are you thinking pulling such a stunt? Who taught the tree climbing technique!"

Naruto didn't know why were they angry with him. His cheek hurt when his mother slapped him hard. Tears began to came out of his eyes as he look up to the angry face of his mother.

Naruto stutterer, "I w-w-went t-to the l-l-library and and l-l-learned it f-f-from a b-book."

Minato came forward and shouted, "You worthless piece of scum! How dare you take something without permission! We give you everything that you need, a roof to sleep under, the clothes on your back, and we feed you, and this is how you repay us! We fucking told you that you would start your training when the academy begins, but no you go and learn something from the library just to try and get us to train you! We're training your brother and sister so they can harness the power of the Kyuubi so it won't be a threat to them when they are older but you on the other hand don't need the training! NOW GO TO YOUR FUCKING ROOM AND STAY THERE!"

Tears had begun to fall from his eyes, he had never been screamed at like that, his parent's hated him there was nothing more to it, and his eyes then fell on his siblings who came out from the house when they heard screaming and yelling. Menma and Narumi look down on their brother like he was lower than them.

Minato said harshly, "You heard your mother. Get up and go to your room and you're not getting any dinner! GO!"

Naruto scrambled to get up and run but not before screaming at his family, "Why do you all hate me so much!?"

With that Naruto ran into the house and headed straight for his room, where he slammed opened and close the door. He then curl up on his bed and began to cry as his heart shattered into million of pieces. The heart of a pure soul broken by scums of parents.

A small purple portal then opened besides Naruto. From it, two huge hands came out, grabbed the boy and quickly pulled him into the portal which closed after the boy left.

Forest Of Death

A purple portal opened and out came Asura who held a crying Naruto. He quickly took the boy into the house and into his room. There, he sat on the bed with Naruto who latched onto him for something like a life support. Naruto's world was devastated at what happened to him today. He only wanted to be loved by his parents but instead of that, he was slapped, scolded and yelled by his mother and father while his siblings enjoyed his suffering.

Asura hugged the poor boy in order to comfort him as Naruto wailed like never before. All that pent up feeling that he bottled inside of him began to burst open as he cried.

How did Asura knew about Naruto's situation? He appeared near the Namikaz house and hid in the shadow of a tree. There he witness hos Minato and Kushina slapped and yelled at Naruto for doing something they didn't taught him. He also saw how his siblings were smirking at their brother's suffering.

Asura was disgusted by these human filth and transformed his right arm to "Arm Blade". He was about to lunge at them and kill them but stop when Naruto ran into the house as tears fell from his eyes.

Right there and then, Asura decided Naruto's future and used Kamui to enter the Kamui dimension. From there, he opened a portal to Naruto's room, grabbed him and took him back to the Forest of Death.

Asura look down at the crying boy which hurt his heart severely. However, his sadness turned to pure unadulterated rage when he think about his parent's behavior. That was nothing a parent should do with one of their children. That was a mistake which Asura will use to make them regret for the actions they took against their eldest son Naruto.

When Asura as about to talk, Naruto suddenly fell limp in his arms. Asura became alarmed and began to check his body for any wounds and such but found none. He then found out that Naruto was pulled into his mind. So Asura put his hand on Naruto's head and went inside his mind.

Inside Naruto's Mind

Asura entered Naruto's mind and immeadiately began to search for him. Soon, he heard sound of crying and dash towards it. When he arrived, he found Naruto crying in the middle of an empty route. He walk towards the boy and softly hugged him. He patted the boy's back to calm him.

After a while of crying, Naruto asked with teary eyes, "Why? Why? *Sob* What did I ever do to *Sob* mom and dad? What did I ever do to my brother and sister? *Sob* Why do they neglect me? Why do they ignore me? Why do they *Sob* hate me? Why do they hit me? *Sob* Why? Did I do something *Sob* wrong? Did I do *Sob* anything to make them angry at *Sob* me enough to hate me? What did I do *Sob* Sensei? What did I do to make them *Sob* hate me? Please. Tell me. Tell me what I did? *Sob* *Sob* *Sob* "

Asura soften his eyes and rub Naruto's hair. He said, "Nothing Naruto. You did nothing to warrant that hate. You are a very pure soul born into a family of scums. They ignored you. They screamed at you. They hurt you. They chose to do this to you rather than accepting you. They saw you as nothing but an unwanted child. They wanted you out of their life."

This made Naruto cried more but what his Sensei said next made his look at him. Asura continued, "But this mistake will be their ultimate downfall."

Naruto sobbed and asked, "What do you mean Sensei? *Sniff*"

Asura said, "They don't deserve you Naruto. They have made that clear. They have lost their right to be your parents. They have abused you and spat on your very existence. They have also taken away your right to be the clan's heir since you are the eldest son. What I have saw them do just moments ago was the last straw. I will make them regret for everything they have done against you."

Naruto asked, "How?"

Asura said, "By making you the very thing they are trying to make your siblings. I have decided to make you and only you the strongest shinobi of this world. You will be the greatest and the fiercest ninja that everyone would dream and hope to become."

Naruto asked, "I will become the strongest ninja? But but what about all of the villagers who ... who .."

Asura said, "The villagers that see you nothing more than a demon doesn't deserve your protection! No! You will not protect them or serve them! From now on, you will only fight for yourself. You will fight for your friends safety and all! But! The one's who have hurt you! You will not look like they are your equal! You will look down upon those scums like they are the dirt beneath your feet!"

Naruto asked, "And what about my .. my f-family?"

Asura shouted, "Forget about them! They don't care about you! They look down upon you! So you will do the same! But in a much better way that will hurt them in the right place."

Naruto asked, "And that is?"

Asura smiled and said, "Minato and Kushina thinks that Menma and Narumi are the child of prophesy. So we will take that tile for yourself!"

Naruto asked, "But how?"

Asura said, "By becoming the very one who will decide whether to save or destroy this world! You will become the child of prophesy and I will train you to be the strongest and deadliest shinobi. That way, your former family will see the grave mistake they did when they play favorites. They will envy you, apologize to you for their mistake and most of all, they will try to make you come back to them. But you won't return to them!"

Naruto asked, "Why?"

Asura asked, "Would you? Would you return to them after all the shit they did to you just for the sake of a shitty prophesy!?"

Naruto think about it and then shook his head. He said, "No. No, I won't. They have lost that right."

Asura nodded and said, "Good. Listen Naruto. For years, you have been the punching bag of this village but no more. This ends now. In two more years, you will be illegible for admittance in the Ninja Academy. You will enter it and try to be moderate there. You will hide your skills from everyone, other than your friends."

Naruto asked, "But why Sensei? Wouldn't it be great to show off my skills to them?"

Asura shook his head and said, "No Naruto. You are a ninja and ninjas use deception for their advantage over others. Beside, you just need to endure being in the academy for just four years. When all of the scums see that you are not special, they will think that you are easy picking. However, after you graduate from the academy, there will be a chunin (mid level ninja) exam. There, in front of everyone, you will show the world your skills and powers. Especially when there are important figures there to see the fight."

Naruto said, "And what then?"

Asura said, "That will have to wait as I have to make several plans for your future Naruto. And when I am done with you, you will be the most strongest being in this world."

Naruto smiled and said, "Cool. That sound awesome!"

Asura smiled at Naruto who became happy. Just moments ago, the boy was devastated but with some helping words, Asura was able to bring Naruto back to his happy state. However, his heart is still broken into thousands of pieces. It will take a long time and friends to heal his heart.

*Clang* *Clang*

They both heard something hitting a metal object. They look around to hear the noise again to see if they were imagining it.

*Clang* *Clang*

They heard it again. They were not imagining it. Asura was a bit confused as to who would be here in Naruto's mindscape but then he realized who or what was here. Asura grabbed Naruto's hand and began to walk towards the noise.

Naruto asked, "Where are we going Sensei?"

Asura said, "To see the one held here against its will."

*Clang* *Clang*

They both walk towards the noise and after a while, they finally reached it. They now stand before a huge cage with a seal in the middle acting like a lock.

*Clang* *Clang*

Something from the inside of the cage hit the door but they couldn't see who it was as it was dark in there. However, they did hear someone talking.

"I must help him."

*Clang* *Clang*

"He needs me."

*Clang* *Clang*

"Wait for me. I'm coming Naruto."

*Clang* *Clang*

"You won't have to be lonely again. I will be here for you."

*Clang* *Clang*

"As soon as I can get through these damn door!"

*Clang* *Clang*

Asura was a bit confused as they way it talked. From the sound, it seem like a girl and why was it concern about Naruto's safety? Asura raised his free hand and shot out several white balls that shine brightly and illuminated its surroundings. Soon, light filled the cage and when he saw who it was, it greatly confused him.

Inside the cage, it was not the great nine tail fox but a beautiful women of 7 foot tall. She had nine tails, red fur and red hair. She also had two fox like ears on the top of her head. She wore a red dress that covered most of her body but still showed a bit of her breast.

Asura was having a bit of trouble of seeing her as the nine tail fox as it was very much different from the story he hear. But here is it. Right in front of him, there was a human fox girl version of the Kyuubi.

Naruto said, "Um who are you miss?"

The girl noticed that Naruto was there and became happy but soon, she became sad, like she did something bad to him.

The girl said, "I'm so sorry Naruto."

Naruto asked in confusion, "What are you sorry about miss?"

The girl said, "It was because of me that you are treated like dirt by this village."

Naruto asked, "But how can that be? I have never met you in my life."

The girl could say anything and continued to sob. Asura took this chance to confirm something. He asked, "Are you the nine tail Kyuubi?"

The girl became stiff for a second before continue sobbing. She said, "Y-yes. I am t-the nine t-tail fox."

Naruto eyes widen and said, "You!? You are the nine tail fox!?"

Kyuubi said nothing but nodding her head as she cried and said, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." again and again.

Naruto calm himself down and try to think of all the info he just got. After processing the info, he walk in front of the cage and stand there as Asura watch him to see what action he would make.

Naruto was silent for a while and then he asked, "I have some question Kyuubi."

Kyuubi nodded and said, "Yes Naruto. Ask anything you want."

Naruto asked, "Can you answer my question truthfully?"

Kyuubi nodded and said, "Yes, I can. I can't lie to you Naruto."

Naruto nodded and asked, "Why did you attack this village?"

Kyuubi said, "I didn't attack this village. I was forced to do it."

Naruto asked, "What do you mean forced to? Didn't you came here to destroy the village?"

Kyuubi said, "I didn't came here. I was always here."

Naruto asked, "Please explain."

Kyuubi said, "Before I was sealed in you Naruto, I was previously sealed inside Kushina. Your mother."

Naruto eyes widen at that and he shouted, "What!? What do you mean you were sealed inside my mo- ... Kushina?"

Kyuubi noted how the boy called her mother by her name instead of mom. Kyuubi said, "I was first sealed inside Mito Uzumaki, wife of the first Hokage Hashirama Senju. After her, I was sealed inside Kushina."

Naruto was shocked to hear that the Kyuubi was always inside the village. He asked, "If that is true, then how did you got free and attacked the village?"

Kyuubi said, "After Kushina gave birth to her children, the seal was severely weakened by it. At the moment of weakness, a mask man came and ripped me out of Kushina. That .. vile man then used that disgusting Sharingan on me and made me his slave. He then ordered me to attack this village. Then in order to stop me, your fath- Minato used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to summon the Shinigami to seal me. However, since my chakra was too great, Minato sealed my chakra inside your siblings while my soul was sealed inside you."

Naruto stood still with wide eyes as he processes the new info he just got. He finally understand why he was hated by the villagers. He finally understood why his family hated him. Naruto lower his head and his hair fell in front of his face which hid his eyes.

Naruto said, "I finally understand."

Asura and Kyuubi look at the boy and waited for his answer. Naruto said, "I finally understand why this village hate. This .. this god damn village hurt me for something I had no control over! These peoples don't see me as a boy but a demon. The reincarnation of Kyuubi! How can they do this to me!? Can't they tell the difference between a scroll and a kunai!?"

Asura said, "Naruto. You are not a demon. You are simply the container and the villagers are so stupid to see that."

Naruto look at his Sensei and said, "Really? I'm not a demon? But the villagers say that I am-"

Asura cut him off and said, "Those who say that you are a demon are morons. Their brains are so small that they could not see the truth. They are simply incompetent morons."

Kyuubi sobbed and said, "I'm so sorry Naruto. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

Naruto remain silent for a while and then began to slowly walk towards the cage. When he reached the cage, he walk in between the bars and stand in front of the crying fox girl.

Naruto asked, "Did you ever mean to harm this village?"

Kyuubi said, "No! Never! This is my home too. I would never dream to harm it."

Naruto then slowly wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. He said, "Then I forgive you."

This shocked the Kyuubi who asked, "Why?"

Naruto asked, "Why what?"

Kyuubi asked, "Why did you forgive so easily! I'm the reason you are glared at by the villagers! I am the reason they hate you! I am the reason they hurt you! You should hate me! Despise me!"

Naruto shook his head and said, "No. It was not your fault. You were simply the victim. The real one who is responsible for all of this is the one who controlled you. That is who I must hate."

Kyuubi was shocked by the boy's answer. Never would she thought that a child so young would understand her.

Kyuubi hugged Naruto and said, "I'm sorry and thank you for forgiving me Naruto."

Naruto smiled and said, "No problem. Um would you be my friend?"

Kyuubi was again shocked to hear that. Her previous containers didn't talk or communicate with her but this boy not only did it but wants to be friends with her.

Kyuubi smiled and said, "I would be honored to Naruto."

Naruto smiled and said, "So what's your name?"

Kyuubi look at him and said, "My name? I am the nine tail fox, Kyuubi."

Naruto shook his head and said, "That is not your name. Its simply a title. What is your real name?"

Kyuubi was again shocked to see how the boy saw through her. She said with a smile, "Yoko. My name is Yoko Karumi."

Naruto smiled and said, "That's a cute name for a cute girl."

Yoko blushed when the boy said her name was cute and that she was cute. She said, "Thank you Naruto."

Naruto smiled and asked, "So what now?"

Yoko said, "I don't know Naruto. I am sealed in here and I can't get out."

Naruto thought about it and said, "Maybe I have an idea."

Yoko asked, "You do? What is it?"

Naruto look back at his Sensei and said, "Sensei! Can you do something about this cage?"

Asura smiled and nodded. He was greatly pleased by what he has done for the fox girl. He said, "Sure I can. Step away from the cage. Both of you."

Naruto and Yoko step away from the cage and see what he would do. Asura jumped at the cage's door with his right arm bulging with immense strength combined with huge chakra that swirled around his arm. He then *CLANG* gave a powerful chakra enhanced punch at the seal on the cage that *Crackle* *Throoom*, the cage was shattered into several pieces. Thus freeing the fox girl.

Yoko look at the human in shock who was able to destroy the cage and the seal with a single punch. She had been trying to break the cage for a long time but the human did that with just one punch. How strong is this human?

Yoko asked, "What is he?"

Naruto said, "That is Asura. My Sensei."

Yoko asked, "How was he able to destroy the cage that I have been trying to break free from for a long time?"

Naruto said, "Simple. My Sensei is an alien from another world and he is super strong! In fact, I think that no one would be able to take him down since he can use magic and such."

Yoko asked, "Magic?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yup. Magic."

Yoko said, "You can't be serious."

Naruto said, "Just trust me. I asked the same thing about magic not being real but he proved me wrong when he did the impossible things in front of me."

Yoko just nodded and took Naruto's word for it. Asura walk towards them and said, "So what do you plan to do for now Yoko?"

Yoko said, "I don't know. But I want to stay with Naruto and be with him since all the bad thing happened to him because of me."

Naruto said, "I told you Yoko. Its wasn't your fault and I forgive you."

Yoko shook her head and said, "Even so. I can't just say leave you like this. Let me stay with you Naruto. Please."

Naruto sigh and said, "Okay Yoko. You can stay with me."

Yoko squealed happily and hugged Naruto, burying his face into her breast. Naruto blushed at the contact and said, "Um Sensei. Is there any way to get Yoko out of me?"

Asura said, "Sure there is a way."

Yoko asked, "really? What is it?"

Asura smiled and said, "Magic."

With a snap of his finger, they all left the mindscape.

Outside Of Naruto's Mind

Naruto woke up and was a bit daze. He said, "Ohhh. My head hurts. What happened."

When Naruto opened his eyes, he froze at what he saw. In front of him was the Kyuubi, Yoko in her human hybrid form. Naruto saw her body's beautiful curves and huge boobs which made him blush. Yoko was outside and she was happy.

Yoko hugged Naruto and said, "Thank you for freeing me Naruto. I don't know how to repay you for this."

Naruto said, "Actually, it was my Sensei who freed you. And as for payment, just be my friend Yoko."

Yoko smiled and said, "Is that all? Then I accept it."

Naruto smiled and look at his Sensei. He asked, "So Sensei. What now?"

Asura said with a grin, "Now? Now we simply train and take the world by a storm! We'll rock this world upside down! Are you ready for your training Naruto?"

Naruto smile and his face became serious. He said, "Yes Sensei! I'm ready for anything!"

Asura said with a grin, "Good. Let you advance training ... Begin!"
