Chapter Three: Hokage Training Program,' Rage'.

All eyes fell on Naruto's frame in a method of utter seriousness. Every other activity in the bar went on a hold and even those with the backs turned to the scene shifted their view.

"One hell of a guy?" The bartender snorted before releasing a disrespectful glob of spit to the ground.

"He was the fucking King of disaster!" The bartender shouted releasing so much pent up rage. "If that bastard was standing here right now, I'll take a knife and stab him in his guts! He'd die all over again!"

Ace gritted his teeth and clenched his fist but before he could make a move he felt a hand hold his shoulder. He could see Naruto's eyes sympathizing with him and other than that, he could feel the disapproval that stopped him from moving. He shook his shoulder removing Naruto's hold then returned his stare back to the Barman.

"I had a cousin!" Another man spoke up, his eyes were hardened as he took a sip from his cup. "He joined the Marines all those years ago and then I decided to pay him a visit." He took another sip.

"The Marines told me he was on duty during a battle against the Rodger Pirates and to make matters worse, they couldn't even recognize his body when the pirates retreated!" He took another sip of his drink before dipping his left hand into his pocket and bringing out a gun. He pointed the tip to Naruto's frame as he took yet another sip.

"One more word of that bastard being one hell of a guy and I promise you…." He took a sip, "I promise you there'll be more holes in your head than the amount of grudges this world has on Roger!"

Ace didn't feel frightened at all by the open weapon but he knew when he had to retreat only thing been that the blond hadn't moved a muscle.

"So, does anyone else here share my view on the Pirate King?" Naruto asked as he brought his hands together to create sounds of knuckle cracking.

Instead of getting a reply the bartender reached behind his shelf and also pulled out a shot gun. "Kid, get out now before I unload the barrel myself!"

"So no one at all?" Naruto asked.

Sound of more guns and weapons being pulled out caught Ace's attention. He glanced to see the many customers in the bar pointing all sorts of weapon at them.

"No one then" Naruto sighed, "Kid, get out!"

Ace was about protesting when he met with the serious hardened gaze that was from Naruto's eye's. He quickly took the bar's door and walked a few steps before turning to look at the bar. He couldn't see the inside but the little he could hear still supported the tension on the inside.

"So you are all going to shoot me! And that doesn't make you worse than the Pirate king.. uhn?" Naruto asked getting pissed up reactions. The bartender being the first to react pulled his trigger backwards before shouting, "Don't compare me to that bastard!". His shot was followed by that of every harmed individual in the bar except once the noise from all the shots went down, the figure they shot was no longer in sight.

They looked up to see Naruto standing upside down with his feet sticking to the ceiling.

"This much hatred, its no wonder events keep repeating themselves." He focused his gaze to no one in particular. ".. But you haven't really answered the kid's question!" At this point, hearing the multiple gun shots had Ace race back towards the bar. He stopped at the door and took a peek in to see Naruto standing over the ceiling, unharmed. He had heard Naruto's question.

"You must have eaten a devil fruit but that doesn't make you any less difficult a target!" The bartender with accomplice of his crowd pointed their gun once again at Naruto.

"I said to answer his question!" Naruto repeated.

"Uha-ha-ha-ha! Well then, I'd just make sure I pass a sword through his navel in front of a cheering crowd!" A man in the bar answered. "But even if he did have a son, you wouldn't live to see that execution!"

"Wrong choice of words!" Naruto whispered as he closed his eyes.

"Fuck you!" The Barman said before he alongside everyone else unloaded every shell their gun had. Naruto's eyes snapped open immediately and a huge fore, with a tad wild wind settled into the room tearing into the wall and leaving cracks, the floor was getting smoldered in while the many bullets in the air snapped in midair and fell downwards before coming even an inch close to Naruto.

Ace could also feel the pressure. Even the door through which he had been doing his peeping was getting run through by demolishing cracks while the people in the bar on the other hand had fallen to their knees. Blood seeping out of their ears and tears out their eyes, they were now undoubtedly unconscious even as their mouths were wide open trying to scream.

Naruto dropped to his feet before looking around. "And I didn't even have to put my hands into a seal, just the sheer weight of the little chakra I pulled out did this?" He rhetorically asked himself.

He couldn't pull out the most of his reserve seeing as his body refused growth throughout the years even though he had tried every step know for Growth. His body still acted as the ultimate factor on how much energy he could draw out but now, he had pulled out more than enough without even trying.

Maybe it meant something was changing in his body, he was probably growing.

Was it because of the milk he recently started consuming? Speaking of milk… He pulled a bottle out of his pants as he walked towards the door. It fell apart before he could even touch it and revealed Ace. He extended the bottle towards the kid which Ace accepted.

"Like I said, I'll buy him a bottle of milk like I would any other child!" Ace nodded unsure. He didn't really know what to say after the crazy display of power. And he heard the individual say he hadn't even tried. Unknowingly, he had already removed the cork of the bottle and brought the milk to his mouth. It tasted good and then it immediately felt strange. Was it breast milk?

Naruto continued to walk forward before stopping and pulling yet another bottle from his cloth. This one an alcoholic brew for his intended purpose. He stared at the sky.. "What if the pirate king had a child uhn?..." Ace stared.

"Many would have different responses for such a question, most being along the line of scorn and disdain but what if the pirate king had a child? The question would still remain because its not for them to answer!"

Naruto uncorked the wine. "And then what happens if the pirate king had a child…." Naruto asked turning back to the kid.

Ace gritted his teeth and clenched his fist before shouting at the top of his voice.. " You keep saying the same thing over and over!"

Whooooosshhh

The sound of leaves fluttering caught his attention and in the blink he could see Naruto standing in front of him with a some what fatherly look in his eyes. It was the same look Garp gave whenever the question came out. He couldn't understand how someone looking around his age could be so powerful and then again.. So mysterious.

"You might still be young but have you ever asked yourself what would happen if The Pirate King actually had a son?"

".. But he doesn…." He was stopped by Naruto's voice.

"Does he?"

Naruto placed a hand on Ace's shoulder but his hand was immediately slapped away..

"why don't you answer yourself!"

Naruto merely chuckled before putting a hand on Ace's hair and holding a lock of his hair lightly similar to the way his father had done. "If he did have a son then I have no expectation. Other than that it's safe to assume that the Pirate King had a working set of balls!"

Ace giggled a little.

"But in all seriousness, whether or not if the Pirate King begotten is a matter for him and those he entrusted the child to. Having children in this world is a matter of family and leaving behind a legacy but what this legacy makes of its self is dependent on and only on itself."

"It's the job of his child to find his own purpose and meaning of existence.. That much he owes to the world!" Naruto took a sip before handling the bottle over to Ace. "So what do you say? A toast to whatever that existence reveals!"

Ace holds the bottle up to say something but notices yet another fluttering of leave and an absence of his new blonde friend. He looks around and hardly notices anything then the voice of the knocked out men regaining consciousness in the bar behind him caught his ear. He quietly turned away and headed to the mountains.

…..

Naruto walked through a battle path on water. It was now a death pit for two pirate crews that had transgressed on each others strength. The result being the sinking of both their ships and devil fruit eaters barely hanging on as they drowned.

As both the devil and non devil fruit users struggled to make way to shore through each others help, Naruto made himself known.

"I've heard of both your crews.. You do partake in slave trade and yet there seems to be a dispute." Obviously, Naruto knew different pirates hardly had an interest in helping one another yet he made it sound otherwise. He was ignored by the folks as they continued their quest for survival.

Naruto sighed. 'I'm walking on water… they are drowning and they still don't pay attention'.. He knelt until one of his hands touched the water surface.

"So.. Here's how we are going to do it. You can all talk and then I can leave you to your survival battle.. Or.."

"why don't you shut up and help!" Someone demanded from the many drowning victims along with a roar of approval from others.. At this point it was obvious that both crews had forgone differences and were now focused mainly on survival.

Naruto rolled his eyes as he tapped his hand against the water surface. The chakra prevented him from falling in and also from the splashes his hands were undoubtedly supposed to make. He recalled his last experience on a large water body prior to leaving his world.

At the time he had been called in for the Hokage training program which was supposedly a program that only required the supposed Kage _ to _ be and maybe a few other elemental expertise that resided in the village. It was implemented by both the first and second Hokage and its first participant was the third.

Knowledge of this program was top secrete so when Naruto was called in he had no idea what he was getting into. It was a program that trained the Kage to the finest he would ever be in towards a variety of ninja arts. They were required to learn even the unnecessary method of battle and even the hardest of elements.

And then after covering every major aspect they were required to learn the Four Crimson ray Formation and all other Hokage-level techniques. Naruto realized it was because of this program that all resurrected Kage's could perform said technique during the war.

His training turned out to be difficult but even when not becoming a true master he had gained enough rep to perform and quietly be outstanding, a remark for all Kage worthy shinobi so as he touched the surface of the water he couldn't help but reminisce a little.

Thanks to the Kage program he knew a lot of things and those things were quite hard to forget even when not practiced and it did help that even with his growth and chakra issues he still made a Jutsu that the ocean inspired in him. If he was going to travel this waters then this skill would come in handy!

He closed his eyes in concentration as he tried to tap into his reserves like he had done earlier

"Torture from the shallows!" He removed his hand from the water and immediately bubbles began escaping the water surface. Slowly screams began filling the air as bigger bubbles came up floating in the air. More bubbles came up but this time, it came with the drowning pirates.

Naruto's eye's widened as he felt an incredible tug on his reserves, he immediately noticed the jutsu was taking more chakra than it had when he first came up with. The blame obviously came to him, after all, this was his first major use of chakra in years but the next sight had him shocked to the core.

Not only the pirates had been wrapped in the bubbles but even their ship had been coated and was slowly ascending from beneath his feet. He slowly took steps backwards and watched as his Jutsu, a mockery of the planetary devastation become something more. It was strange, but still his Jutsu was a product of war times.

A war that had the world in it, and it obviously left its mark.

It was the trauma of War!

"This is war time Ninjutsu" Naruto quietly stated as the screams of the men loudened.

The pirates looked down on the water in disbelief, they couldn't believe they were being manhandled by a kid!

"Now can we talk?" Naruto asked.

He heard more screams and horrid shouting, but this time in this situation, Naruto took the voices as a yes!

"You murdered a village for a fruit, Destruction will explode from within you if you make me wait any longer!"

"What do you want?" A voice full of fear making even Naruto cringe, but he knew he wasn't doing the wrong thing, neither was it right but absolutely, these pirates deserved all they had coming and even more.

He concentrated on his chakra and slowly released the water pressure in that one bubble that contained the complying pirate, it now floated just a bit above his height, the rest still floated in the sky.

"I heard about a devil fruit with the power to reverse and forward age. Where is it?"

"It was eaten! A little kid sneaked aboard… She consumed it!" The pirate shivered as he spoke.

Naruto raised a brow. He had seen the devil fruit up close before and it didn't emit any sort of chakra, instead it felt emitted an unreal energy within and at the same time, it was so full of life. He would call it a natural variant of this world, just like Chakra in his own world.

When his little spy sources had given him info about an aged variant devil fruit, he knew it would likely be his only way of returning to Kage grace. He had two expectations from said fruit, one was that it would alter the wielders age willingly and it would enable the user to alter the ages of others, so it wouldn't matter if the fruit was consumed by another, it would still be able to help him.

"Where is she?" He looked around at the floating destroyed ships, "Did she do this?"

"We managed to restrain her with a sea prison cuff, we were ready to sell her at the nearest slave deport!" Naruto's snapped as he heard slave deport.

"Did you sell her?"

"No no…. Jozu.. A member of White's Beard crew came along, he destroyed everything.!"

"So.. He left you all to die and took the girl away. Right?"

Naruto turned his back without awaiting his response. His eyes were now shadowed. He felt grief. He himself had carried out some stupid operations on getting here. But never this large and this stupid, even over a bloody fruit.

More screamed echoed as the men pleaded and demanded for Naruto to release them.

"No!" Naruto snapped as little flame like energy swept off his skin, the majority of the energy running along his skin and crawling up into his eyes leaving the iris around his eye ball glowing a murderous yellow.

"You not only deserve to be judged by the skies, but even by humans!"

The water rustled as the pressure from Naruto's almost active chakra blew waves of madness around. He brought his hand in a ram seal.

"Death from the shallows!"

The water bubbles exploded into gore and blood. Only the strongest of men would survive this technique and even then, they would not leave without life threatening fractures.

Naruto brushed his hands along his hair, his eyes were now back to their normal blue. He too remembered lusting for that Fruit, the same one he had just destroyed two pirate crews over, but his own thirst was definitely different seeing as it wasn't for the money or for even the consumption of the fruit.

It was simply to…

Flashback

Naruto ran swiftly along the much too tall walls of a machinery – crude village. They still went by the title of villages as the people were much too ignorant of the many amenities of the new world. So instead of shots being fired, he had to duck the many arrows, lances and spears that were shot at him. And the more experienced, those that actually left this hell bound hole to gather a few security arms fired old models of the gun's pirate used.

"He's heading to the fountain.. Stop him!"

The spears and weapons became more aggressive making Naruto sigh! 'I didn't want to do this but.. oh well'

He relinquished his chakra hold on the wall and dropped to the ground giving his pursuers a clearer view at his features. Just a kid?

"Attack!"

Naruto sighed yet again, they probably had rules forbidding even the young from approaching the fountain. Perhaps, probably everyone was forbidden from the fountain until that particular time he heard about.

As the weapons flew again, Naruto ran fast enough avoiding many and even getting grazed by few, but it didn't hinder his movement. As he got close to the pursuers, he lashed out with decisive blows that took a few of them down. No deathly blows, since he probably couldn't muster the strength for that, only chops, just enough to keep their aggressive side out of reach.

He immediately resumed his run towards the fountain, this time with less pursuers but the sharp objects still continued. He kept his hand into a seal but removed it seeing as his chakra control would make it irrelevant.

As he proceeded he noticed the fountain not far off. From the distance, it looked like a sacrificial alter having stairs that reached up to it through which water connected in and out of the fountain. Naruto readied himself by extending his little chakra flow precisely in his foot and jumping straight into the fountain.

He hadn't really gotten into sage mode since his arrival since he constantly ripped into one of the merits of his Hokage Training program, it was the complete sensory sense. It wasn't as far distance as his Sage's mode sensory skill or his Kyubi Chakra mode but it made up for precise attacks and general sensing, which is why he understood that something felt different about the fountains water.

He landed on the water and immediately cut chakra connection to his foot, letting his form descend slowly into it. The water was up to his waste level and immediately, the villagers began storming into the place, surrounding and halting him.

A man stepped forward looking older than the regular villagers, wiser.

"Why has one so young gone through this hassle?"

Naruto ignored the man and instead focused on the strange vibe the water was giving. Beyond that, there was another ball of energy he could sense.

"This fountain is forbidden until once every century when the bravest warriors step forward and drink from its water. The one chosen becomes younger while the rest become older and die, yet one as young as you seeks this water,.. for what purpose?" The chief asked.

Naruto absorbed the information while focusing his senses below. Considering the water gave a strange feeling and then it became even stronger below, he summed it as the interference of the eternal fruit. When the warriors came for a drink, seeing as they don't eat the fruit itself, but drink the influenced water, they aren't given enough just to control the change.

And seeing as they were already old, they could either grow older and die if it favored aging and they could revert into a younger warrior when the fruit favors the opposite. Hence, drinking the water would definitely not work on him since the energy it gave off wasn't even a tad comparable to his lowest chakra level, but the fruit itself felt stronger, he couldn't wrap his head around it.

Naruto closed his eye's a little, trying to buy time as he drew a little sage chakra from the surroundings. "I seek to study the strangeness this fountain!"

Lie's.

A barrage of curse words erupted from all around them with more harmed men itching closer into the circle of villagers containing Naruto. Still, his eyes remained closed in concentration. The more the elder questioned, the more his questioned stayed unanswered. He finally gave into the protective thirst of his fellow villagers.

"Invading this place is forbidden, even to our young ones and here you, not even of this village. This is inexcusable" He nodded as a sign of approval and immediately, the armed villagers around Naruto brought forward their spears.

Naruto's eyes snapped open almost immediately and for that split second his eyes had the orange pigmentation accompanying his sage mode before immediately reverting back to blue. Acting fast, he rotated his body, narrowly missing one of the four spear and before it could advance right through another villager, he grabbed the wooden staff and used it in evading the second proceeding spear.

"Slow.." He whispered. Truly his movement was lacking and without the sage juice, he would have taken at least one full stab, but the sage chakra that temporarily filled his chakra coils had given him a clear sensory architecture of the fountain and the places of high energy. He knew where the fruit was located.

Two sharp pointed spears now approached leaving Naruto little options except getting graced so he positioned himself where both attacks would give minimal hurt.

As the little blood sprouted, Naruto brought his hand into both earth and water seal while calling upon the last of the sage chakra that hadn't completely left his system. He was no master of the earth but be trained enough for even the little jutsu's.

"Mud style"

He immediately tucked his fist into the water, going further until his hands connected with earth and immediately, the earth was shifted into mud and began sprouting up to a height just as high as the ceiling of the fountain making the villagers step backwards.

Deep in the rising mud, Naruto could feel the energy source he was seeking. Disconnecting his hand from the mud justu, he immediately flipped himself into the air and next the villagers saw, Naruto stood upside down on the fountains ceiling with a strangely shaped red fruit in his hands.

Many didn't understand what it implied but the elder. He started shaking until he dropped on his knees.

"Its over!"

Naruto inspected the fruit closely. He could feel it closer now, he couldn't feel the end of the energy, it was limitless but only within the strangely shaped fruit. Yet, this was his only ticket back to adulthood but he had his doubts about taking it.

The energy within the fruit felt like one that wouldn't coexist with his chakra, and his chakra meant everything. The energy wasn't vile, but even then it didn't feel like chakra which could be given from one to another during healing or even a bijuu's chakra mixing with its host to support for battle.

But if it was energy, it was nature's.

Naruto closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to draw the energy into himself without consuming the fruit. He felt something, a rush of unfamiliar energy and for a second he felt as if he was growing until he opened his eyes and couldn't comprehend the sight.

Below him, on the now muddy fountains ground were the villagers, but now, they were all children and some even babies.

Perhaps, he didn't try hard enough. He closed his eyes and resumed concentration, but yet, the energy refused to change his body, instead, he was only able to control the strength on other individuals outside his body.

It seemed as if his chakra and body itself rejected the fruit. In that case, using the fruit by himself on himself was not going to yield necessary results but perhaps, if one had consumed the fruit and tried it on him, there could at least be a chance.

He looked around and wondered maybe he should revert the villager's age's and force the fruit down any of their throats. That would work but, it would just be an irrational strategy that might not even yield necessary results yet again.

He was a Kage, he knew how to act in situations like this and nevertheless, this wasn't war time, there was still time to grow using the normal human means and, maybe someone would indeed come along and steal the fruit later on. He'd have to find that person and make the person grew him to his previous age.

He sighed… well hell!

He concentrated, successfully reverting the villagers to their ages, or at least close enough. For one, the elder was younger now, and his legs weren't shaking anymore.

He tossed the fruit into the elder's hands. "I'm sorry for any inconveniences" He quietly strolled away completely disregarding the confused and angry looks of the many villagers.

"I came alone, the location of your Island is still very well hidden"

Flashback ends…..

"Moments like this is why I regret the Hokage training program. I have so much chakra and its only now coming out in ominous varieties." He needed to revert to his age back, because he was so sure that his control on his judgement was slipping slowly but perhaps the chakra rush wasn't so bad after all, he needed it now more…

"I hope I survive this" Naruto whispered as he walked along the water, behind him, the bloody remain of the two ship crew's he had destroyed dropped into the sea along with the destroyed ship.

Naruto smiled as he inhaled and exhaled continuously.

"Next stop.. Where exactly?"

….
