Naruto pov

Walking down the street in my bright orange outfit with the bright sun in my face 7 year old me, Uzumaki Naruto roamed the streets shining a bright grin at all the passers-by, yeah a bright day. Just coming from my number one favorite place, Ichiraku, I kept glancing from side to side looking for something to keep my every changing mind occupied for more then 2 seconds. When my eyes spot an oh so lazy bum watching the clouds roam and scurry in the vast expanse.

With little else catching my attention I sprint over to Shikamaru. The 'Victim' glances over and sees orange 'how troublesome'. Approaching, the "troublesome" yells "Hey Shikamaru lets do something!" "Naruto knowing you it would be far to troublesome" came the predictable response. Seeing as the Nara had no backbone for effort he found himself contented following clouds.

"Come on man I got nothing to do and I am going out of my mind"

"Well MY mind thinks it wants you to lose your voice"

"Hey that's a real buzz kill you know we could at least do something, pleeeeeeease!

Beginning the strenuous trip of standing Shikamaru sighs in defeat "All right Naruto what do you want to do?" He wasn't so bothered the clouds were fast thinning in ranks too few and far between. Glancing at Naruto he finds me gaping with shock. "What?"

"YOU GOT UP HEHE!"

Ok scratch that he was a little miffed, Eyebrow raised and opposite eye twitching "Naruto you better not be serious." "Hehehe Just kidding so uhh... what are those board games you always play" "shogi and go?" " Yeah could you show me how to play um?" suddenly feeling out of place I scratch the back of my head. What was said caught Shikamaru as something out of the blue.

Hmm never took Naruto as the type. Finally something in my field "Yeah sure, I got the sets at home, come on"

I was overjoyed; I was about to start screaming if I didn't find something to do and learning a new game was definitely a better alternative. And to finally have someone to share some time with was the most fulfilling part of the deal. So I run after 'lazy-gone-active' like a lost puppy.

I was glad to find that the silence accompanying us was not unwelcome. It was hitting 5pm so many shops were closing and people going home after a long day of work. Needless to say the streets were packed. The silence held up for quite some time given the silence was being shared with Konoha's number 1 trickster, given I broke it all too soon. "So Shikamaru why do you watch the clouds so much?" out of honest curiosity.

"Clouds are interesting even though they don't do much." I was a little confused so I tried to clarify " you mean like how one cloud can look like 100 different things depending on how and who looks at?" "Exactly...heh, you know you are full of surprises Naruto" "What do you mean Shikamaru?" "Never mind" That was odd made me wanna just huff and keep on walking.

It took us about 2 and a half hours to walk (Konoha should be Manhattan size) to his house. His place was a larger then average house, a nice balcony and a large field in the back maybe 5 acres where they raised a lot of deer(was it deer?)

Mean while I was irate from that ridiculous distance 'Jesus fucking Christ! Took us long enough!'

"Shikamaru how can you walk all the way across town for a tiny field just to watch clouds, I mean isn't there some place just a little closer to make lazy on the grass and lose yourself to your freakin clouds!"

"No, because that field is perfect and it would be far too troublesome to mess with perfection."

Sigh, 'whatever' "What's shogi like?"

"Ever played chess?" "Yeah" "It's close to that I'll show you what's different when we get to my room" "Which window is your's?" "That one just off of the balcony." " Wow you must get some view of the sunrise." " Ugh don't remind me" slight annoyance etched on his face.

Concluding the walk, we approached the door and entered the 'troublesome' habitat of two dark haired male Nara and as Shikamaru previously mentioned last time we met, 'crazy' woman. We walked through the foyer and came into the kitchen to 'crazy lady' mixing stir-fry above a hot stove. She was facing away from us saying "Shika-kun is that you?" I had to stuff my fist in my mouth to hold back my laughter as Shikamaru cringes and starts burning holes through his moms back with a death glare. Surprisingly calm he says "Yes and I hope you don't mind but I brought a friend over, names Naruto."

I gave a bow thinking she was going to turn, when I jump at the sound of a pan meeting stove. She gives me a look that would melt stone as a tight smile made its way slowly on her features and said in a sickly sweet voice " I am sorry Naruto but Shika-kun has chores to do and we are about to eat and I didn't make enough for a guest" The voice though soft gave me an urge to rip my ears off.

Naruto chalked it up to all the usual shit he has to deal with'Crazy was a fucking understatement with this one'

Meanwhile Shikamaru watched the exchange with Naruto's visible unnerved rigid posture. "But mom there is plenty of food and if I do have chores cant Naruto help?"

'What's up with this woman she sure is acting up, that voice makes me realize why gophers stay underground'

"Well Shika-kun not today."

'Jesus again with that smile.'

"I don't get it wha-"

"I SAID NO SHIKAMARU" Nara Shinobu had the large wooden cooking spoon wielded like a medieval mace at ready to make the blow. I noticed the impending doom about to occur if I didn't high tail it out of here, so I squeak out "hey Shikamaru I'll see you later ok" as I made a mad dash for the door.

I was making my way to the side of the house with a window for the kitchen when I hear Shinobu say with venom dripping from her voice like a broken faucet "don't let me ever catch you with that 'thing' again do you hear me" "but.." "IS THAT CLEAR" "yes m'am"

'What the fuck is up with that I didn't do nothing, what does that bitch and all the other people in this village have against me! FUCK.. heh if jiji could hear me now'

I stayed next to the window making sure when dinner was official over. I was going to get to the bottom of this and play some shogi if it is the last thing I do. I pull out a half empty pack of Lucky Strikes.

This might take awhile might as well have a smoke, hmmmm bad habit, never saw it coming when some bum gave me one a year ago.

1 hour later...

I drop my 5th cigarette and dig it in the ground blowing the smoke out unsteadily while trying to maintain calm.

'Christ lady how long does it take to clean up after a meal! 'click'

Finally lights out. Ok.. Now to wait for Shikamaru's room's light to go on. God I hate waiting, maybe this is why some folks always carry books with them.

45 minutes later...

I drop the empty pack to the side and sigh in satisfaction that can only be achieved with getting what you want when waiting a too time.

Ok he's in his room, at least someone is in his room ok now to get up there...hmmm

General pov

The good thing about living were you needed deer to feed is the good, healthy, tall trees that sprout from the ground. One of the ever so fabulous trees made its appearance on the opposite side of the house with the kitchen window. Climbing the tree didn't prove to difficult for an Uzumaki. Naruto creeps closer and closer to the designated window and gets to the edge and lowers himself upside down.

Naruto pov

hmmm table, desk, bed, door but no Nara,. Did I have the right window? Yeah... just off the balcony so where is he. All right he's here.

I see Shikamaru clad only in pajama pants enter the room with his head down. He is thinking so hard his eyebrows are knitting socks. Well I might as well take him out of his little world before his room collapses under the mental strain. 'Tap tap' I see him look up and blink a few times and rubs his eyes. He must be thinking he is losing it or something. 'Tap tap' He gets up and slides the window open and whispers, "how are you doing that?" questioningly. I shrug "like to climb, so uhh you going to leave me hanging or let me in?"

Shikamaru stands out of the way as I right myself and swing inside the room. Landing like a practiced frog I raise a hand "yo" he seems still in thought but says "Did you piss my mom off at one point without me knowing it or something?" I give a sly wink and say, "my tricks are for the crowd not specific individuals." Shika just shrugs smirking while muttering something along the lines of 'troublesome' and says " you still up for a game of shogi" "you bet your ass I am, but go easy" Little did I know that 'easy' is not quite easy at all.

After getting to know the pieces and how they move and the subtle differences with chess and itself we got into a fast swing. Well I was in a fast swing and he was taking his damned time like he's an immortal. It went on as I kept making moves and that piece being taken or trapped and that describes my 12 straight loses. During the 13th match I asked "I saw your mom but where's your dad at?" "Oh he's on a mission, he's a jounin." WOW Shikamaru's dad is a jounin I wander what kinda stuff he does as a top nin probably an assassin or something else really cool . "Is it normal for me to lose so much, I mean I am new but this is ridiculous...?"

Shikamaru just makes a passing glance my way and gives a small grin saying "well I have plain shogi much longer then you, so it is to be expected I am wiser at this game." I just give a pout and made my next move. "So uhh what time is it any way it feels like we have been playing for a while now?" Shika makes a fleeting look at his watch and blinks. Wow time flies... how troublesome "Its already 1:12 Naru-" a low but strong growl fills the room and that ladies and gents was the sound of one starved blonde "hey did you even eat yet?" He lifts his head to see me staring at the ground and mumbling about not being that hungry anyway.

"Jeez you should have said something, I'll be back with some left overs." Shikamaru stands and exits closing the door behind him leaving me and my hunger to contemplate the essence of food. A few minutes pass and I hear some of the wood floor outside the door creak and in enters Shikamaru with a plate of lukewarm stir-fry. "Here" He hands it over and I start stuffing my face. Shika made his move while I finished. He gave me a look that I didn't quite understand when I sat the plate down and brought my hand up for my move. I was setting the 'rook' down when we hear the floor outside his room creak again and Shinobu walks in rubbing her eyes, yawning.

A large yawn preludes Shikamaru's mom, "Shika-kun what are you doing up so la-"

The moment her eyes open she freezes seeing me with the rook in the air and the room filled with uncomfortable silence. Before what looked like a shocked lady became a queen of death as her scream pierced the night air. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" and Shikamaru and I are frozen to the spot as she ran into the room grabbed me by the back of my jacket and started shoving me down the hall and the stairs. Shikamaru finally came to his senses and ran after us, he met his moms back as she threw me out the front door leaving me to run like a bat out of hell.

General pov

Shikamaru was 5 feet from shinobu when she turns around and with a blink of an eye has her finger stabbing her sons chest spitting out in a snarl "What did I tell you about that boy, he is nothing but trouble you are not to associate with him. If I find you with him again I will be stretching your hide out for a new rug!" And with that she stalks off to her room leaving Shika all to himself to sort through all that happened.

'Lets start from the beginning; harmless Naruto, bored and searching for something to do, finds me asks about shogi and go, I agree to teach him, get home mom acts like he is some known thug about to shove me in a corner and make me take it holding my ankles, Naruto comes back we play shogi, mom comes, treats Naruto like she just found out Naruto and I are secret lovers and gives me a talk like I was playing with death. What's with all the shit centered toward Naruto? Come to think of it I did notice before many times he would get glares and sneers for no apparent reason. I mean sure he is a big troublemaker but that's something you shrug off. What is behind all this? Oh man this is becoming the most troublesome thing I ever had to deal with next to living under the same roof with that crazy woman. Too much thinking, I am out.'

Finally having enough of the mental monologue Shika got ready for bed. Coming up to his room turning off all the lights besides his lamplight he begins putting away the shogi board. He was about to dump the pieces in the bag but takes notice of the placement and thinks 'hahaha stalemate. Very nice Naruto' His king had nowhere to go. He dumps the pieces and puts the set on his desk turning off the lamp and jumping in bed and drifted off to sleep.

Middle of Konoha/Naruto pov

I just kept running even after the tears started to stream down my face. I just didn't understand why I was the core of everyone's ridicule and scorn. Why I am at the end of all the hateful glares. I just passed the hospital when I realized I ran myself even farther from home then when I began. I started to slow and slumped against a building when one thought crossed my mind. 'Fuck I need a smoke.' My frustration building so much I lost it and start running. I run as fast as I can dodging the night crowd, running from the glares and sneers, running from my on tears, but no matter how fast or how far I just kept running because for what I was running from there was no end.

Without even realizing it I found myself running up the Hokage monument. I started slowing down but not turning from the chosen path. Finally reaching the end of the service ramp I can see some of the Fourths Hair stick out blocking some of the rising sun.

'Holy shit I have been running for nearly 5 hours... running from.. from them'

Getting close to the edge I think of what it was in life that I must have screwed up so bad on for every one to hate me, for everyone to treat me worse then trash, for me not to have friends because parents keep me from making them. So this finalized my previous prediction that I was just not meant to be. I should never have been born, quite simple really, well time to fix my mistake. I tipped toed onto the ledge and starred down at the early morning wakers and the late nighters going home to sleep. And I let myself drop. As I fall letting the wind whip my face I close my eyes with acceptance in mind.

700m

'Didn't lock my apartment door...'

600m

'Didn't do my morning training...'

500m

'I got Shikamaru in trouble...'

350m

'I got whipped by a woman...'

205m

At that moment I see my life.. all the pain and suffering balled up into a fraction of a second I felt like I could scream

100m

'I got to enjoy 4 hours of shogi with a lazy bum who loves to watch clouds'

I gave myself a goofy smirk in the falling rush 'I guess it was a bright day'

5m

'Fuck I need a smoke, uh what the hell, what is this?'

I feel as if, as if... I don't know, it is an entirely new feeling for me. But if I could describe it, it would be like every fiber of my body inside and out was on fire but it didn't hurt. I open my eyes to see the ground some 2 meters below me and I am falling.. in slow motion! And without meaning to I get ready with all fours to catch myself on the ground. I know I must have been going at least 50 meters per second yet went I touched down I felt like I just fell from on top of a bed considering how my arms and legs held up with such ease.

I feel myself cool down and start to fall as everything goes black

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

'Hmmmmmm'

'ugh its wet, where the hell um I?'

I open my eyes again slowly becoming more alert of my surroundings and discovering I somehow got into some kind of sewer system. A very large sewer system. Well having little choice of path given that the space behind me was a concrete wall I walked on through the tunnel. What seemed like forever in the deathly quiet steel tunnels would only have been a few minutes had I not been on such a high alert. After walking an approx. quarter mile I finally see the tunnel end with a large expanse ahead of that with what seemed like a locked gate in the sewer.

On closer inspection I found that no lock kept the gate closed but an advanced sutra like seal. Beyond the gates was all darkness besides one bear sized glow showing a fox with 9 tails curled up on the ground with his head toward me. Nine tails ... I took a minute to think about why is that so familiar, when it came to me.

"Ain't you the Kyuubi?"

Kyuubi just gives me a silent nod.

"Aren't you supposed to be bigger?"

It just glares at me.

"Forget I asked, didn't the yondaime destroy you?"

It shakes its head.

"So he locked you up here not being strong enough to completely get rid of you?"

It nods again.

'Jesus it's lazier then Shikamaru, this dude won't even talk to me!'

A silky yet steady and firm female voice fills the expanse of the empty sewer end."I am not lazy brat." Mean while the fox is giving me a look that would set fires, and change just as quickly as it came back to the soft passing glance it originaly had set on me.

Woah, Kyuubi is a chick, huh who woulda thought. All well I don't have time for this I need to get out of here. Ok now I have to find out where I a-

"We are inside your subconscious."

'What? subconscious? so I am visualizing thought but why would kyuubi... The yondaime had to seal the kyuubi, not being able to destroy it sealed it in me 8 years ago..."

"This is a very sick joke, ok who ever is out there the jig is up"

"This is not a joke Naruto, you are my container as to make sure I do not kill again."

"Fuck you! The Yondaime killed you!" Tears started forming on my eyes.

"I will show you what happened on your birthday 7 years ago." Suddenly all I see is the border of Konoha, Much of the section of the city I see is in rubble and the Kyuubi stands facing a giant frog with the Yondaime on top holding a baby. After he performed a series of one handed seals what appeared to be a hideous ghost game and took the soul of the Kyuubi and was put into the babe. When the apparition disappeared the Hokage died smiling. Now back in the sewer I see the Kyuubi

The tears were now streaming. Tears of hate and pain. Tears of betrayal and mistrust. The feeling came back to me, the very same feeling from the fall. And again my form became entrenched in the feeling of a harmless heat, but this time the heat was much more intense. So intense the water at my feet started to bubble.

"So every glare, every sneer, and every jeer was aimed at me because of you, what gives you the right to fuck with my life! I have lived a life of continuous hell because of your existence!" The heat was so strong the water was now evaporating. But I was oblivious to everything now all that mattered was my unbridled rage.

But Kyuubi wasn't, noticed that my form became engulfed in static electricity, this state being that tiny bolts of lighting kept erupting from any part of me and either met air or another part of me. She was thinking of how much I looked like a giant chidori when I ripped the sutra off the gate and swung it open.

There was now no water to be seen and every spot stepped a black scorch appeared in its wake.

Feeling all this energy, all this power, all this rage, it was overwhelming. When I reached 5 feet from the nine tails I knew I had to release it all somehow or I would explode so I did it the most instinctual way. I let out an earth shattering primal roar! As I let it out the floor began to quake, the walls started to shake, gale force winds erupted from my form, and even the great Kyuubi was blown back a few feet!

My lungs were reaching their limit and the area around me began to settle while the energy in me was fast dissipating. When I stopped the room started spinning fast as I collapsed in an utterly exhausted state. Strange how it may seem right before I traveled into the world dreams I gave a full blown grin when I saw kyuubi nuzzle my side.

'Today was ok'

XXXXXXXXXXX

The rising sun just started to filter through the blinds and had the nerve to strike my beautiful face . A bright light fills my lidded eyes and I stir. Before I open my eyes I sit up yawning wiping a bit of drool on my cheek. Then I hear a man's deep voice, "lie do-" at the sound I jump out of bad and sprint like a cougar through the door as my mind begins to process the maelstrom of thoughts.

'Ok ok ok; I woke in a bed; someone moved me; there are nurses; I am in a hospital; the person in the room wore a white wolf mask, ANBU; An ANBU was guarding me; no, guarding everyone from me; good I am out; shit shit shit shit; Why was I being watched over? They must be doing this thinking something is up with the fox; FUCK more ANBU; odd why don't they catch me; are they playing with me; was this already thought out; or am I just too fast WOOT EGO POINT; I can't let them catch me; I hope I can hold on

The chase went on for about 18 minutes and the speed had not let up!

'FUCK AHHHHH my legs are burning! Holy shit they just won't let up! Damn I must be like 15 km out of Konoha by now. I must have gone the wrong way I'm still in a wood. I thought there would be a road, change of scenery, a town, or something, but noooo- FUCK

WAM!

Well as you can see we have one bruised Uzumaki tree knocker. The three ANBU approached and stopped a few feet away, the first came up to the lying Naruto and pressing their fingers to his neck making me lose consciousness. All ANBU were gasping for breath as the first picked up my sleeping form and they all started back at a speedy walk.

One thought crossing all of their minds when they at long last reached the east gate of Konoha 'Kami-sama that little shit is fast'

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Wake up kit

My eyes shot open and I stood up ready to spring once more. But right when I was about to make my move I heard a monotone voice behind me "chill". I looked behind me to find a kid, 12ish, ponytail, bored out of his mind with a jounin's flak on standing next to what I assumed to be his father "Naruto-kun". The voice was the hokage's; the said gave me a comforting smile letting me relax a bit. But I knew why I was here, this was no friendly meeting, this was business. He takes a hit from his pipe before speaking.

"What happened to you, we found you at the base of the Hokage Monument unconscious, I was worried sick?" he didn't seem too convincing to me and I let my suspicions known. "Why was there ANBU in my room jiji?" "You worried me greatly so I wished to make it top priority for your safety."

His lies were older then he was. "Jiji if you were worried about me you would have sent a doctor not a shinobi, stop lying." I made my voice stern to emphasize my irritation. He gives a wistful smile saying "Nothing gets past you Naruto-kun, ok the truth is that ANBU felt a large chakra discharge and they found you... and a 20-foot radius crater with you at the bottom and we wanted an eye on you for anything else dangerous."

I just give him an irritated look and question my attendance "So why am I here again?" The old man actually became as flustered as me "I asked you what happened." With an even face that looks more like his serious self. Giving him a tone so even it could make Ben Stein blush "I got angry." (Cue the awkward silence) ... "And?" "And I passed out."

I have had enough of the questions

'One more "were you the one who saved me?"

Yes

'Shit'

Window now

"Well old man I'm out!"

"NO Naruto-kun wa-"

And that's as far as he got as I dove through the window to the side of the office. Sandaime(Sp?) scrambled for the window and looked down seeing me grab onto a Konoha flag on the way down and swing drop the last 15 feet and make off in a light run to my apartment. Breaking the silence the jounin spoke "Would you like us to retrieve Naruto-san, Hokage-sama?" "If it is not to much trouble, see if he is ok, but right now I could use that mission report Itachi-san" "Hai" The boy handed over an envelope. "Is there anything else Hokage-sama?" "No you are dismissed." After they left the Fifth was alone with one last thought as he got to work on a small stack of papers. 'Something was different about him."

XXXXXXXXX

As I ran on I noticed just how much they glared at me now that I was aware of what to look for. And thinking back if I were to see what I see now I would have jumped twice. But that's in the past, for now my nindo is one with out regret, no looking back.

General Pov

The sun was almost straight up from the leaf village as Naruto found himself in and alley or 'short cut' as he would say doubled over with a pained look in his face. What Naruto was experiencing is known as extreme hunger pains i.e. stomach growls. Now running quite like how he ran earlier that morning he got to his apartment flew through the door and started the first of what would end up being 12 bowls of instant roman in the span of 20 MINUTES!(if that ain't fast cooking I don't know what is.)

A very contented Uzumaki goes over to his rickety couch and sits down in effort to make 'contact' with the 'other one'.

'Hey you there?"

Where else would I be?

Why did you save me?

Isn't it obvious, if you die I die.

If I were to make the choice of dieing or living in a prison I would choose the former.

Nobody asked you kit.

How exactly did you save me anyway?

I rushed my energy in your chakra system and heightened your instinct reflexes.

Ok... hey are you really a girl or you just some guy with a high voice?

...You know I found that I still have some skills even trapped in here you little shit! The growling made Naruto's head shake.

OH YEAH and what's that, wave a tail at me!

No, even better, A MIGRAINE!

After the final syllable was uttered we see one blonde hair blue eyed kid sprawled on the floor clutching his head groaning loudly. And from the laughter coming from inside his head we can assume that the kyuubi is having a good time through all his container's new found pain.'OK OK I GIVE' soon after this 'pitiful' surrender the pain ebbed away.

After this lapse of internal pain the blonde realizes he forgot to his morning exercises again. So he is out the door in seconds. Surprisingly, this 7 going on 8-year-old kid has a very extensive work out plan. Let us lay it out for you. (Changes due to kyuubi in thick)

Naruto Training Regimen (Not in any specific order)

1.1 4 lapse around Kohnoha (circumference being approx. 16 km)

2.200 400 pull-ups

3.1 1.5 hours of tree jumping

4.200 300 sit-ups

5.Taijutsu with log 2 hours

6.Break time

7.200 400 push-ups

8.1 1.5 hours of meditation

9.1 1.5 hours of dance(yes dance)

10.20-minute swim cool down

all steps take the full average time of 8 hours

I hope not much needs to be said of the list. Dance is to create flexibility, balance, and fluid movement. Mediation is to have chakra controlled. And Taijutsu being kicks and punches at the training log. But something was definitely different about meditation...

Naruto pov

20 minutes into meditation

What's with this? I can control chakra much easier now.

This was my thought for the easier time I had over stopping and starting flows of chakra through my palms, arms, and chest.(areas for ninjutsu)

That's because you ripped off the seal in your subconscious so now you willingly let me effect you, in some ways at least, one would be chakra.

You mean because of that seal using chakra while yours was trying to get out made it difficult.

Yes, and I think you should start sense training: sight, sound, and smell. Move chakra go to your ears, eyes, and noce to increase them.

The session finished 70 minutes later uneventfully. And last the cool down. It took 12 minutes to find a dissent-sized lake to swim in. Clad only I my boxers I took a dive. I took my time starting up before I did my laps. When I had a few minutes remaining I just let myself float on the surface enjoying the afternoon sky.

Kit, someone is watching you.

Where?

Somewhere to the east, they are very good at hiding themselves and their chakra.

I look in the direction so my back is to the sun and shout "What do you want?"

2 minutes pass and not a thing happens

hehehe kit behind you hehe

huh?

I do a 180 "ahhhhhhhhhh" was all that came from me as a landed on my ass. The bored Stranger from the office is now sporting an amused smirk. "Interesting, to answer your question I am here to check on your well being." After finishing he walks behind me. I turn around to see him sitting down with his back against a tree, eyes closed.

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"How is my 'well being'?"

"hm just fine"

Conversation being depleted for the time being we share a moment of peaceful silence. The moment lasted just long enough for my curiosity to detonate "Don't you need to go and report this or something." Almost immediately his face dipped in a frustrated frown if only for a fraction of a second. Even being thicker headed then most I caught on. "Well you only have to report it when your done, and your not done yet right." I just couldn't stop my grin as he let out a small sigh as he muttered something along the lines of a 'yeah'.

"Good"

Smooth kit real smooth

':D'

I walk over to a tree a few feet away from his and lean against it one leg propped behind me. I pull out a new back of Lucky, and set one on my mouth. Reaching for my lighter Kyuubi has something to say about it.

Kit, if your going to smoke do it right.

"Right?"

Using a normal flame is fed by oxygen and also burns chemicals that are bad for you.

"So what do you want me to do about it?"

Use foxfire

"Nani?"

Fox fire is a blue flame that burns only what you want it to burn and is fed by carbon dioxide and in affect the cigarette becomes a large filter and you breath in almost nothing but pure oxygen, and nicotine of course.

(cue it bill and Ted) 'woooooaaaaahhhhhh'

'How'

Concentrate on a thumb and imagine a blue heatless flame

I put my lighter away and close my eyes concentrating on my thumb much like I do when trying to fill it with chakra. I kept the thought of a warm blue flame engulfing my thumb. So I was at this for 5 minutes before I got so frustrated I snapped my fingers and let the image in my mind evaporate. But what I didn't plan on was after I snapped a navy blue warming flame covered my thumb and above it an inch.

"What the!" was all it took for me to come out of my little world to see Stranger staring wide eyed at me. I give him a deadpan look. "What?"

HAHAHAHA CLIFFY YOU GOTTA WAIT :P I'll up date ASAP. Don't forget to review
