"Right then kid go and pack your shit me and the little missy here need to have a talk no off you go" Jiraiya declared.

Naruto didn't look happy about it but he complied nevertheless.

The moment the blonde stepped through the door to his room Jiraiya trough several seals onto the door and the walls creating a barrier.

The supposedly wizened sage turned to the other resident of the room.

"So we got a few things to talk about," Jiraiya said in an unusually serious tone.

The kazehana nodded in understanding while motioning for him to continue.

"first things first the old monkey and by that I mean the Hokage wanted me to pass on his thanks, He couldn't say it in person mainly because if word got out that some unknown unaffiliated ninja saved him it would look bad on the village. So we had to put more of a spin on it and give the kid credit, along with Asuma. On the plus side, it gave the kid a push that allowed him to become a Chūnin. Regardless the Hokage gives you his sincerest thanks." The toad sage explained giving her a half bow.

Kazehana could only smile in joy.

Jiraiya came back up to his full height before addressing the wing goddess once more. "Now onto more personal matters, you need to stop look I get it before you interrupt me, you want to take your relationship further you want to get more intimate with the kid your 'dating'. But listen at best the kid is slightly confused by all these new feelings at worst he is emotionally stunted, as slow as you might feel you taking it take it even slower if you get intimate with him he won't resist but you'll either make him feel uncomfortable or maybe even scare him off so take it slow let him set the pace. Cause I swear to kami if you hurt him you will have to deal with me and you don't want that."

Kazehana still held her smile "I'll keep that in mind but know this I will never betray him or the trust he places in me"

A smile returned to Jiraiya's face "good we have an understanding; so here take this it is an old set of armour it belonged to my apprentice's wife. The kid cares about you and I am gonna make sure to keep ya alive and the dress isn't gonna protect you so where this" the sage declared as he handed her a scroll simultaneously forming a half seal as the barrier he put up came down.

"well, that was weird my door musta jammed," Naruto said to himself confusedly. Shrugging he walked up to Kazehana. Grabbing her hand.

"so pervy sage what did ya talk about," Naruto asked grinning. He was preening in his new Chūnin flak jacket.

"Not much I just gave her some shinobi gear and this her Konoha headband she is now officially one of my apprentices along with you" the toad sage announced proudly handing Kazehana her new headband.

Five minutes later saw them all roof hopping towards the gate.

Kazehana was now wearing a tight black form fitting top with long sleeves a Uzumaki spiral on the right. A Chūnin flak jacket over the top of it fully done up a pair of shinobi trousers tapped at the ankles with a pair of heeled shinobi sandals on her thigh was her kunai holster with a katana blade on her hip. To round it all off she had a dark blue headband on her head her ponytail coming over the top of it.

They arrived at the gate in good time Jiraiya flashed the gate guards their papers and they were out the village and on the road.

It was mostly a peaceful tree hop within three hours they stopped to take a break

"So my wonderful students while we are here taking a break I think it's time I taught you both a technique, for the gaki this" the perverted sage declared holding out his hand as a dense ball of rotating chakra formed in his hand.

"this is one of the fourths prize techniques. Now the first thing I want you to do is to pop this water balloon using only your chakra like this" he said demonstrating it to his pupil.

"you got it pervy sage," He said saluting him before starting on his task.

"right brat, anyway for the lady this technique futon: Kaze senbon (wind style: wind senbon)," he said blitzing through seals as a small senbon of wind formed in his hand.

"wind isn't my nature so I can't really make more than ten at a time but here are the hand seals," he said demonstrating the required seals.

"Hmm, and you're sure" the man behind the Uchiha massacre. Itachi Uchiha responded to the woman standing in front of him.

"No need to glare at her partner trust me she is telling the truth I can tell former bond" the larger of the trio responded.

"Hn, then it seems like we have no further business here we must track down and find both of them, but remember Orochimaru is a priority" the smaller cloaked figure replied.

"I don't care as long as I get to kill him, man the boss was pissed with him" the taller cloaked figure chuckled maliciously.

With that, the three figures leapt from the clearing. That was destroyed several bodies's scattered around.

XXXXXXXXXX

Kakashi and his fellow Jounin would arrive on this scene just a few minutes later black fire still burning.

"Quickly gather a team and send a message to lord Jiraiya, Itachi is on the move and they are likely after Naruto again" Kakashi half ordered half muttered to the Anbu surrounding him.

Said Anbu disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto had spent a large majority of the day trying to pop the balloon he had come close a few times. While they were on their way to town, and even as they entered the town Naruto was focused purely on the balloon, relying on kazehana to guided him through the crowds.

Once they had dropped off their stuff the two had immediately found a clearing and continued their training.

Meanwhile, kazehana had made slightly more progress. You would think with her innate control over the wind it would be a trivial task. However, she had never been forced to condense the wind into compacted points, this was proving difficult it turned out using the wind the way she did wouldn't even phase most experienced Chūnin. As such she was not practising tree climbing. At first, she seemed to be making good progress but at about half way she started having problems her concentration drifting and her reserves being used up. Fortunate she had a Naruto clone to catch her when she fell.

Once again the dark haired beauty was attempting the tree climbing exercise.

This time, Naruto was actually watching her. She began with running start applying the chakra to her feet she ran up the tree, as she reached half way she felt herself slipping so she pushed more chakra to her feet.

She made it another few steps and tried applying, even more, chakra to her feet. With disastrous results. She shoots off the tree like a bullet, spinning through the air in a lovely parabolic arc.

Luckily Naruto chose to leap up catching her mid-flight softening the blow. He landed on his hunches. Kazehana cradled in his arms.

Letting her out of his arms Naruto thoughtfully looked at the marks on the tree left by kazehana.

"That's it rotates look the marks when you pumped too much chakra it made almost tiny spirals." The blonde boy jumped up and down excitedly.

She didn't quite get it but he seemed happy so she was happy.

Picking up the water balloon he focused for a few seconds. The water seemed to churn in that balloon followed by a loud pop.

"alright, I did it yeah" the blue-eyed boy jumped up and down in excitement.

"Not bad kid seems like you are a fast study" the Toad Sage announced appearing behind Naruto causing him to jump.

Naruto turned around facing the toad sage "well picked up on the kid the first stage of the Rasengan is rotation everyone's chakra has a natural rotation; it was the fourth who figured that out you know. By figuring out your own chakras rotation you can begin to learn the Rasengan. Now for part two"

With that said the elder ninja pulled out a rubber ball and placed it in his hand focusing for a second the ball burst.

Handing him the ball Naruto began the second step while kazehana went back to tree walking.

With that Jiraiya's shadow clone burst.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile, Jiraiya was sitting in a bar talking to one of his contacts.

"so the land of rain closed its borders, this is not good at all I mean Hanzo was suspicious but not like this, apart from that did you find out any more about these beings are known as Sekirei"

A figure covered in shadows responded to the spy master of the leaf "I am afraid not all I know is that they seem to originated from rain well those that escaped before the border closed."

Before any more discussion could occur a message was handed to the toad sage. Reading it Jiraiya leapt from his seat, he placed down the appropriate money before disappearing in a small puff of smoke.

It was even worse than he thought one of the clones he left had also just been dispelled.

XXXXXXXXXXX

It was late now and the toad sage still hadn't returned kazehana was asleep having spent a lot of her chakra.

Naruto, however, couldn't sleep. Staring out the window he looked at the full moon.

There was a knock at the door grabbing a kunai the boy approached the door opening it slowly.

Standing outside was a man with white hair and glasses, he was wearing a white cape and from what he could tell shinobi attire underneath.

"Hello Uzumaki Naruto I am a friend of kazehana I was hoping we could have a chat,training,their" the man said rather boisterously.

Naruto was going to close the door when there was a glint from the man's glasses. Suddenly he felt an overwhelming need to follow the man.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jiraiya was panicking first he finds out that Itachi was on his tail and then the chakra beacon that was Naruto disappears. This was an omen and if the Uchiha had Naruto then head were gonna roll. The Toad Sage would make sure of it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Naruto came out of his daze he was standing in the clearing where he had training earlier that day.

The white haired man coughed "I am sorry that I had to put a Genjutsu on you Naruto-Kun, but I needed to have a little talk with you, you see your friend kazehana is part of a special project of mine called the Sekirei project my boss wanted an army for a god and I provided, however, that was so boring so I let some of them free such as your little friend. That made my boss very angry you see s-"

"I won't let you hurt her I kil-"Naruto interrupted only to be interrupted himself.

"kill her my dear boy why no I want to keep her with you but my boss friends are after you so I am here to give you a warning if you reveal to anyone where she came from or any other juicy information she gives you. I will kill her then bring you to my boss myself. Oh, I am so excited to see your bond grow maybe you will challenge a god. And how will a Sekirei be affected by your tenant, oh so many mysteries's, do continue to entertain me Naruto-kun" Chuckling as the was a flash from his glasses once more he disappeared into the shadows.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jiraiya was panicking now not even the toads were able to get a pinpoint on Naruto. But you know what they say speak of the devil. Just as Jiraiya was about to enter sage mode to begin to track down the boy. When he literally stumbled into the clearing looking a bit dazed but none the less alive.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Next thing he knew Naruto was standing in front of the toad sage.

"Hey pervy sage" He muttered.

"Don't hey me kid where did you go?" the white haired male asked in a furious tone.

"I don't remember," Naruto said still partially dazed.

'it seems someone used a powerful Genjutsu on the kid, hmm this is not good I think it's time we left' the elder shinobi thought to himself.

"Look gaki I have finished up my business here, apparently, the person who was looking for has been seen in a small gambling town. So we are heading off now go and wake you little girlfriend and be ready to move in five you can catch up on sleep later" he ordered sterner than Naruto had ever heard him.

Itachi could only sigh they had missed them again it looked like the toad Sanin was shrewder than he thought.

"so partner can we finally kill them, I hate being followed," his partner asked in a jovial tone.

"very well but try to be discreet" the Uchiha could only sigh.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto was putting his all into his training, and that was fine and all but it felt like he had been pulling away from kazehana. She would notice it in the small things and they had been making so much progress to.

'maybe he will know what to do' the black-haired beauty mused to herself.

With that in mind, she dropped back a bit and approached the older shinobi.

He acknowledged her with a nod.

"so I am guessing, you hear to ask me about the kid" the white haired male nodded in a sagely way

"honestly I don't know, but I reckon if ya ask he will tell you." He sighed as if there was a weight on his shoulders.

'okay then ill talk to him when we make camp tonight' she decided.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Pervy sage had wondered off leaving him and kazehana behind to look after the stuff.

Naruto was unsure should he bring up that guy who apparently knew her. What if he didn't. what if she was being put in danger because of him? How much did he really know about her?

All of these thoughts came to a halt when he felt a hand entwine with his own.

He looked at her, she looked at him.

"look I wa-"he started

"I think we nee-"she said at the same time.

The older girl nodded at him to continue.

And like a flood, every question in Naruto mind came flowing out like a never ending barrage.

Before she spoke Naruto felt something he knew she could feel his feelings but for once he could feel hers love, admiration but also a sense of fear.

With an almost slight tremble, she began to speak.

"I guess I haven't been very fair I know lots about you but you don't know much about me." The grey-eyed woman began.

"I want to tell, you but there is so much, what if after I tell you everything you don't like me as much I want this to go well" Her hand was visibly shaking now.

Her emotions surging through the bond. He could see flashes, flashes of fighting, off fear of anger and remorse. It gave the young blonde a starting realisation. Just like him she had her own secrets, and in time she would share them. But in her own time. After all birds of a feather stick together.

She was about to begin speaking again when he beat her to the punch.

"Hehe you know strangely that makes me feel a lot better, I still want to know everything I won't drop this but you gave me time now ill do the same you know." He nodded showing some maturity. After all, if they were gonna be together forever then they had time.

As Jiraiya's clone watched from the tree he couldn't help but feel uneasy. One minute the kid looked raring to go the next. He looked like he had some sort of psychic understanding with the chick. Mabey it was just him being overly cautious but he couldn't quiet, trust her yet hence why he put an entire contingent work of tracking and dispelling seals in her clothes. But regardless the kid seemed happy and who was he to stop the kid from being happy.

Kakashi leapt back his entire team had been completely decimated apart from him and Gai who was currently engaged with the monster of the hidden mist. Meanwhile, he was facing off against Itachi the Chidori sparking to life in his hand.

"So Itachi why have you chosen to turn up here of all places," Kakashi said dashing forward at amazing speeds jabbing at the black cloaked man with his lightning Jutsu.

Said the cloaked man was simply swaying out of the way of his lightning fast jabs.

However, this was interrupted when his partner came flying at him via kick from Gai.

He disappeared in a flock of crows.

Dispersing the Chidori. While simultaneously tracking the real Itachi's movement, his hands flew through hand seals upon ending it he blew out a colossal ball of fire. However, the Uchiha responded in kind the two great gouts of fire counselling each other out.

Then from the flames came the Uchiha it was only a second but he caught Kakashi's eye.

With a mutter of "Tsukuyomi"

Kakashi was taken out of the battle

Gai wasn't in much better condition opening the gates was putting a massive strain on him.

Just as he was about to re-engage, a silver blur shot out of the trees landing in front of Itachi.

"I have found him it seems he is seeking the help of one of his former teammates, much like them" the Slilverette reported.

"time to go already man I was just having fun" the taller of the cloaked duo chuckled

"Hn, till next time Kakashi" the Uchiha muttered the tree disappearing in a flock of crows.

Gai was exhausted luckily they had called for backup before they engaged.

The next time he would be conscious he would already be back in the leaf village.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It had taken a few days of pretty intense travel but finally, they had made it to where he knew Tsunade was. In other news, Naruto had mastered the second stage of the Rasengan. That kid must have been some kind of genius or something with the progress he had made in such a short amount of time.

"Right Gaki, you and your friend can go and grab our room after that feel free to enjoy the festival, meanwhile I'll be collecting some info" the toad sage laughed rambunctiously. Disappearing along with Naruto wallet.

It had taken them about half an hour to find the hotel and get set up in their room. Changing into more casual. With that out of the way, the young couple set out to see what the gambling town had in store for them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They had spent a good deal of the afternoon walking around the stalls with little hassle. When Naruto accidently walked into someone. While both stayed on their feet Naruto was hoisted into the air.

"Hey, kid don't you watch where you are going," a tall man said he had almost blue skin and shark-like teeth.

"sorry about that" the boy Replied in as an Apologetic of a tone as he could muster.

"you're lucky I am in a good mood today kid" He Laughed good-naturedly. Putting Naruto down with that he walked off.

Kazehana had arrived just in time to see a tall person put Naruto down.

As she walked up to him she asked: "what was that about?"

Her answer came just not from Naruto.

"your friend there just ran into an s class missing criminal and survived, it seems he is one lucky kid" a woman with blonde hair green eyes and in a green overcoat replied.

As she said this she gripped a crystal hanging around her neck.

"you should be more careful" she muttered walking away from the duo.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Danzo stormed into the Hokage office and was greeted by a frail looking third Hokage.

"they have been spotted again and not only did you not inform me you let the asset out of the village, have you really become such a fool" Danzo shouted in absolute rage.

"Danzo, bite your tongue firstly we can't afford to fight him within the village by keeping Naruto here we are inviting a battle we are simply not ready for, secondly he is with Jiraiya who will keep him moving and out of harm's way until the village is back at full strength" the frail yet powerful man calmly responded.

'I just have to stay strong a little bit longer' this was the mantra the third Hokage kept chanting to himself. Even though he was suffering being nowhere near healed from his battle with Orochimaru.

Danzo could only snarl as he left the Hokage office once more.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

One the third day Jiraiya came rushing into their room.

"UP AND ATEM GAKI I HAVE FOUND HER LETS GO," the toad sage said barging into their room like a wild animal.

Five minutes later found the three standing outside their hotel.

"right kid it seems she is in a major casino so were in luck she won't be moving anytime soon, now be careful and by that I mean let me do the talking kid," he said patting his young apprentice on the head.

With that, they set off and Naruto could only wonder what Pervy Sage's teammate could look like.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile, a shadow watched from above white linen sheets swaying around her.

"It's him it finally him my love" she sighed

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

thoughts for a story to make or not to make

maelstrom and the shadow fists

For years he had been training honing his body into a precise weapon. From the age of four to the age of nine he was trained in the ninja arts. Then once he had graduated, they handed him over to them the ones he called his masters. Yami the one shadow nine fist. The strongest masters of the killing arts in the world and he was their ultimate disciple. The range and depth of styles not that he really used them, He mainly stuck to the ninja arts. As this was his specialist style.

"That's enough Naruto your training is done for the day, now if you would kindly come with me I have much to discuss with you" the boy heard from the intercom.

Naruto snapped out of his musings to look at the devastation he wrought. Surrounding him were serval dead bodies. Ignoring them he walked to the door as it opened with a metallic hiss.

From the other side, the blonde haired boy saw his master. He was a fairly tall man with almost Bishōnen good looks he had blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He had two vantbraces and two shin guards style like traditional samurai armour. In Stark contrast to this, he was donned in a jet black suit with a pinstripe undershirt black with white stripes and a bolo tie around his neck.

"you have developed well it has been a while since I have last seen you Naruto, I am sure you wouldn't mind talking a stroll with me" the older blonde gestured forwards his voice as charismatic as ever.

The younger blonde only nodded as he followed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After a few minutes of walking they came to one of the more unused areas that was available to them. This area was so old that most of the security afforded to other training grounds was not here, them weren't even cameras.

With a quick glance around the blue eyed man began to speak.

"Naruto I have to ask you are you really okay with all the people you have killed"

"No but it is the wish of the elder council that I obey all orders given to me here" The young boy no older than fourteen replied in a dead tone.

"Hmn, that is not what I wanted to hear. It seems that the disciple of Ryōzanpaku has defeated two Yomi disciples. As such we have been given free rein to challenge them. Apart from you, however I worry about my daughter as such I want you to join that high school and befriend her as her silent protector you understand that yes." The older blonde whispered just loud enough for his disciple to hear.

"I understand master" the blonde replied once again in a monotone.

Patting the boy on the shoulder he declared a little to loudly "Good you understand in which case it will soon be time to challenge Ryōzanpaku's disciple, until then watch him carefully"

Naruto didn't quite understand why his master was acting so strangely but in the end he didn't really care. After all he was just a weapon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

'This is not good at all it seems repaying my debt. to you will be harder than I tough Minato, Kushina, I managed to keep him out of harm's way by making him my own disciple however the other still had to train him. This is deeply troubling hopefully the Shirahama kid will have a good effect on the boy.' But much still troubled Saiga as he watched his disciple walk away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hello class I would like to welcome our newest student Naruto Uzumaki.

Said blonde walked into the room garbed in the standard academy uniform.

"Hello it is nice to meet you all my name is Naruto Uzumaki, please look after me" the blonde boy exclaimed in an overly cheerful tone.

"very good mister Uzumaki now if you wouldn't mind taking a set next to Shirahama he will show you around the school.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The bell finally rung signalling Naruto to turn to his guided the one dubbed Shirahama.

"hiya nice to meet ya I am Naruto, just call me Naruto I am not really one for honorifics and your Name is Shirahama right." The enthusiastic blonde said holding out his hand.

Kenichi was unsure about this guy he seemed nice enough but something felt off, it was probably just his imagination.

Kenichi grabbed Naruto hand only to feel like he was caught in a death grip. The boys gripping strength was unreal, not one to back down he returned with equal force.

After a few seconds they released each other's hand.

"man you have a strong grip," Naruto said nonchalantly.

"you too, by the way you can call me Kenichi if I call you Naruto" the brown haired boy replied rubbing his hand slightly.

There was a moment of awkward silence that was immediately interrupted by another voice.

"Hello my name is Mu Furinji nice to meet you I am a friend of Kenichi-san" the bubbly blonde known as Mu introduced herself.

"Hi Mu it's nice to meet you I can see Kenichi has an excellent choice in picking friends, speaking of which, do you guys wanna be friends" the blue eyed boy asked sincerely.

Kenichi smiled before replying "Sure so do you want to eat lunch with us"

Just like that the tension that once existed melted. They proceeded to eat lunch together.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The real trouble began as the three were walking home. It was on this day that Koga decided to have his revenge. They were walking down the street when Koga and his gang of thugs decided to surround them.

"well, well, well if it isn't Shirahama and his little gang, I remember how you beat me last time this time you won't be so lucky" the short black haired boy announced as he threw a kick not allowing Kenichi to get a word in edgeways.

Just as said recipient of the kick was preparing to receive the blow someone else was already in Koga's guard. Shouldering the blow Naruto launched several damaging punches from his waist into the boy's gut. Within a fraction of a second the black haired teen was down for the count.
