I DON'T OWN Naruto

The Fox and the Hound

Chapter 1 Denial and new sensei

It was right after the first round of chunin exams a blond orange wearing boy was walking to the hospital and saw the person he was looking for a silver haired man with his headband on his left eye and a mask over his mouth.

"Kakashi-sensei can you train me for the finals?" asked the blond ninja.

The man turns his head lazily reading his porn "sorry Naruto; I am training Sasuke for the finals because he is fighting a dangerous enemy who will kill him," said the copy ninja.

Naruto looked shocked and betrayed "can you give at least a scroll on a jutsu or some way to better myself?" asked the genin.

The man shakes his head nope because Sasuke needs it more and has a better chance of victory and making chunin," stated Kakashi.

Naruto started to shake and clenches his fists "fine don't train me you favoritism playing sensei" he said with venom as he walks out.

Hana was wondering around the village and came to the edge of a training ground when she heard grunting

"Wonder who that is?" she thought as she walk to the training ground. She hide herself in the trees and was surprise to see Naruto training by boxing a tree his hands already bloody from the impact.

Hana continued to watch "I can tell he has something to prove but what?" she thought. Naruto finished punching the tree and then form a ram seal "Shadow clone jutsu," he shouted a thirty clone surround him.

Hana's interest peaked at this new development "thirty clones and not even tired from performing a B rank kinjutsu," she thought as she saw the clone attack the original.

Hana kept watch in amazement as Naruto takes a beating but was still fighting. Hana looked on "this is kid could be a power horse easily.

Naruto finished the clones but passed out from the strain. Hana appear next to his body and checked him over "beside the injuries he just tired and malnourished," she thought as she start to heal some of his injuries.

She was ready to grab him until his hand caught her wrist catching her off guard "who are you?" he asked cautiously as his eyes open slowly.

Hana was shocked "my name is Inuzuka Hana," she said as Naruto grunted.

"Relation to Kiba?" he asked'

He is my brother," she answered

Can I get you name?" she asked politely

Uzumaki Naruto," said Naruto

She thinks for a moment "Naruto, Naruto wait did you beat my brother in the chunin exams?"

"Yes I beat him," said Naruto

"Can you let go of my wrist? I won't hurt you," she said.

Naruto reluctantly let go and sat up "can you tell me why I am not hurting as much Hana-san?" asked Naruto.

Hana smiled "I was able to heal some of your wounds and I must say I am impressed by your endurance to take any type of punishment and keep fighting," she said

Naruto looked at her "I have to go and get ready for more training," he said as he got up.

Hana frowned "no you don't'; I am going to heal you first so you don't die from chakra depletion," she stated.

Naruto snorts "why do you care?" he asked causing Hana mouth to open in shock "what do you mean; it's because I am a medic I can't watch someone die in front of me," she yelled.

Very well, if you don't mind," said Naruto as he lies down. Hana's hand glow green and put it over Naruto injuries and they slowly heals.

Naruto gets up "thanks I have to train," he said.

Hana stood up "don't you have a sensei who can teach you?" she asked

Naruto snorts "my sensei rather play favorites with the Sasuke-teme," he said

Hana looks at him curiously "who's your sensei?" she asked

Hatake Kakashi," said Naruto

"How about a wager," said Hana

Naruto looked at her "what do you mean?" he asked.

Hana sighed "one on one; if you manage to land one clean hit on me I will train you for the exams if you fail you must clean the whole Inuzuka kennel," she said

Naruto smiled "I accept; I need a teacher anyway so how long should we fight?" he asked

Hana smiled "two hours and I won't use my partners okay?" she asked as she and Naruto get into a stance.

Hana frowned "wait who taught you that stance?" she asked.

Naruto was confuse "I was able to mimic Kiba's stance a little," he said making Hana smiles "you might be a genius to copy a clan stance," she said as Naruto eyes widen "sorry I didn't know," he said franticly.

Hana laugh "it all right, it's interesting that you can mimic a stance this close with a few mistake," she said as she got into the same stance but with fewer openings.

Naruto shifted his stance to match Hana's to her amazement "interesting it has fewer opening, but I can help him develop his own stance based of ours with mother approval," she thought.

They both charged each other

Naruto punch but was blocked Hana swept him off his feet but Naruto flipped backwards before he hit the ground "shadow clone jutsu, " said as three clone surround Hana and charged. Hana was able to take out the three and went for the real Naruto. Naruto grabbed a kunai and charged her. Hana parried Naruto's consecutive attacks but was tiring.

"His stamina is amazing," she thought as Naruto punched her in the chest but was blocked. Hana slash Naruto with her claws but Naruto manage to dodge.

Naruto makes ten more clones and send them against Hana. Hana was starting to struggle to keep a defense as she ripped through the clones but Naruto got in her guard and punched her in the chest knocking her back.

Hana got up "well done, I didn't think you would actually be able to hit me," she said.

"As promised I will train you for the exam," she said.

Naruto smiled "hai thank you sensei; were should we meet?"

"Meet me back here a six am, I need to go get some stuff for your training," she said as Naruto nods and walks out.

At the Inuzuka clan compound Hana walked in and was greeted by a feral looking woman with fang and wild brown hair "Hana why are you late? Your sift at the hospital was over four hours ago," she asked.

"Sorry when I was there I overheard a sensei refuse his student training in favor of another," stated Hana with an edge making Tsume raise an eyebrow.

"Who was the sensei and student?" asked the older woman. Hana gulped "the sensei was Hatake Kakashi and the student was Uzumaki Naruto," she said causing Tsume eyes to widen then narrowed "explain why this caused you to be late," she demanded.

Well when I saw this I talked to Kakashi and he said some unkind thing about his student; I then went to talk to Kiba and he said that Naruto won partial by luck and skill on the rest," she said.

Tsume motioned her to continue "I walked to a training area and saw Naruto training first by punching the tree then sparring with shadow clones, I think he has untapped potential and is waiting for the right teacher," she said

Tsume smiled "let me guess you want to train him for the finals correct?" she asked

Hana bowed her head "Hai mother," she responded.

"Very well you have my permission under one condition he will only be allowed to learn clan jutsu if he can beat you one on one with me watching," said the clan matriarch

Hana raised her head "Hai," she said as she goes to bed.

Tsume walks to her study and take out a piece of paper on her desk is the picture of the fourth and a red haired woman "I hope I am making the right decision Minato; Kushina. The civilian counsel might have forbidden me from adapting him but he will be trained," she thought as she starts to write on the paper.

Next day 6 am at training ground Hana walked up with and bag on her shoulders and she saw Naruto training with shadow clones.

"Naruto come here I got something for you," said Hana as she put her bag down. Naruto walks up "what is it sensei?" asked Naruto smiling.

Hana takes out four bands "these are weight bands; put them on your legs and arms, the weight will increase ten pound for every percent of chakra you put into them try it," she said.

Naruto took the bands and put them on "how much chakra should I put?" asked Naruto.

Put about four percent of you chakra in to each bands," she said making each weight about forty pounds," said Hana as Naruto put the required amount in the bands and he crouches suddenly "heavy," he said.

Hana smiles "very good walk or run ten lap around the field just to get used to the bands," she order as Naruto started to walk around then started to speed up.

Naruto finished ten laps in twenty and walked over to his temporary sensei.

"Naruto now we're going to do some chakra control exercise; tell me what you have done," she said

"Well Kakashi-sensei taught us the tree walking and Iruka-sensei tried to teach me the leaf exercise but that was all. Hana listened and became angrier because of Kakashi inability to teach all his students.

Hana let go of the killer intent that she was unleashing "Naruto we're are going to work on water walking; it will help your control drastically," she said

Hana walked to the lake and walked on top "first focus chakra in your feet but the trick is to change the chakra constantly because unlike trees the water moves a little so you have to take that into account.

Naruto focus chakra into his foot and walked forward to the water about one step loses control. He continues to try but he gets nowhere around the tenth attempt Hana motions him to stop "Naruto you did not get very far do you know why?" she asked.

Naruto looked at her "well I have been feeling like something is blocking my chakra even when I was fighting your brother," he said. Hana eyes narrowed "you should have told me sooner," she said.

"Sorry sensei," he said looked down in shame as Hana walk next to him.

"Let's see Hokage-sama he might know what is going on," she said as she grabs on to him and shunshins outside the Hokage building and the two walk in.

Naruto is glared at by the secretary "that loser and demon spawn isn't allowed here," she said as Naruto puts his head down.

Hana growls "you better watch your tongue miss because he has more courage and heart then you do," she said.

Making the woman back up by the killer intent "let's go Naruto, we have to talk to Lord Hokage," she said as she opens the door.

Inside the office Sarutobi, the Third Hokage is reading a letter. He has a goatee and a red robe, behind his chair is his red hat with the kanji for fire.

He looks up "Hana, Naruto I thought you would stop by soon, Tsume wrote a letter telling me what occurred and I am glad that Naruto found someone to teach him," stated the leader.

Now what can I do for you?" he asked as Hana stepped up "Hokage-sama I was teaching Naruto water walking but something is blocking his chakra can you take a look?" she asked.

The Hokage nods "Naruto channel some chakra," he said.

Naruto channels chakra and the seal on his stomach appears "I see it's a chakra blocker called five pronged seal," said the old man.

Hana looks on as Sarutobi's five fingers blaze with chakra "this will hurt a little Naruto but we have release your chakra for your training," he said as he slams his fingers into Naruto chest getting rid of the seal. Naruto falls to the ground in pain as Hana rushes up to him helping him up "how are you feeling Naruto?" she asked worried.

Naruto smiles "great sensei, I think I can try water walking again," he said as Hana smiles.

Xxxxxxxxxx

The two find themselves at the pond as Naruto continues his training. Hana looked on with pride as her student finally finishes the water walking "well done Naruto," she said.

I homework for you; I want you to go the library and get a book on katas," she said.

"I can't they won't let me in; the attendant threatens to call Anbu if I go in," he said

Hana growls but calms herself "I will go with you and I will make sure you are allowed in," said the Inuzuka.

Naruto smiles "thank you for everything sensei," he said

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Next morning Naruto and Hana went to the library but was stopped by the attendant "that thing is not allowed in here," growled the clerk.

Hana turned to the woman "you will let my student go in or I will let you explain to Lord Hokage about denying a shinobi entrance to the material," she said with a glare.

"Enjoy your stay," said the woman forcefully as Hana smiles and walks away.

Naruto grabs several books on Taijutsu and control exercises and checks them out "Now Naruto I want study the Taijutsu book see if you can find a stance that suits you; then we will go from there," said Hana.

Hai sensei," he said

Naruto was reading the book as he practiced the styles to get a feel for them.

"None of them suit me," he thought as looks for another one.

"Maelstrom Fist," he thought

"Might as well," he thought as he got in the beginners stance and smile "much easier and it feels right," said Naruto as he tries the Katas

Naruto succeeds and goes to the exercises for chakra control.

I guess I can try this one," he thought as he takes out a kunai and places it on his palm and tries to make it float.

Hana walks up "so did you find a style Naruto?" she asked.

Naruto smiled "yup it is the maelstrom fist," he said.

I see you working on the advance chakra control," she said

Yeah but it is hard to do it," he said

"Well you are on the advanced so of course it will be hard," she said.

Naruto continues the exercise and finally finishes it by keeping the kunai floating for ten minutes "well done; that is enough for today," she said

Naruto smiles "thank you sensei," he said
