Chapter 5: Training for control part 1

OMG that's right people I'm back, for all of you who have read my story and actually faved it and generously me you deserve an explanation of why I hadn't updated in some time and here's how it goes.

I was typing on my computer(Doom, doom, doom), the keys were messing up(What?), started bashing computer(Take that!), computer messed up(NOOOOO!), couldn't write anymore and couldn't use friends(Ass), got new computer could write again and put this up(Oh Yeah!).

That's pretty much it, well on with the story.

I don't own Naruto or any other anime/manga in any way if I did the fillers would be flow with the story arc like it was a part of it.

Inside of Naruto's mindscape

Naruto was standing at the door with a surprised look on his face because of the fact that a little girl who looked like Orochimaru was here in his mind getting out of his stunned state of mind he started a futon jutsu to push her back from the mansion and into the front yard.

Since she was a ninja she leaped to her feet before she hit the ground and blocked a punch that Naruto had thrown at her. "What are you doing?" she asked him completely shocked by the assault, "What does it look like I'm trying to kill you, Orochimaru!" leaping back for some distance from him she tried to explain herself, "Hey you have no reason to do this, I don't even know you! All I'm trying to is find my way out of here and then I went up to that temple and you started to attack me when I need help!"

Naruto stopped attacking because of the stuff she was saying and started to think, 'Should I trust her, what if what she said about her innocence is true, but what if she's lying though, I could be going right into a trap… well I'll see what I do if it comes to that.' "Fine then come on in and you can then we can talk, but walk in front of me though." Getting out of her fighting stance she nodded and started to do what Naruto told her to do but was ready just in case he attacked her again.

They both went inside and she was amazed by all the things she saw inside when Naruto told her to sit in a chair while he went upstairs to check on Kyuuhi.

Waiting on Naruto to come back from wherever he went to Kyuuhi was getting bored with her legs put up to her chest covered by the sheets on the bed with a bored expression on her face. 'Aiyah, when is Naruto-kun coming back? It's so boring being sick like this.' That was when she heard a knock on her door and got excited knowing who it was, "Come in Naruto-kun." Opening the door he had a smile on his face and went over to her "Sorry it took so long our visitor was an unexpected one." "Oh?" "Yes, you need to see for yourself." "It's that serious?" she asked getting out of the bed.

"Are you sure your well enough to be getting out of bed Kyuuhi?" he asked her holding her by her waste and arm she put up her hand signaling that she would be alright and left the room heading down the steps to the main floor.

When she got down she saw Orochi sitting in a chair just looking around "Naruto-kun isn't that," "Yeah I think so too but she says she doesn't know about me, I don't even think that she knows she's not in Konoha." Looking at her suspiciously Kyuuhi told him "Let's talk to her, if I feel any evil intent we take her out." Naruto agreed nodding his head.

Seeing Naruto come back from upstairs with another person she straightened up and got ready for the questions that were to come. "Hello my name is Kyuubi and yours is…?" "I'm Orochi Takagane." "Ok now explain to us why you're in here little Orochi."

"Ok, I don't know how I got in here I just woke up in the forest near this place an hour ago I think, the last thing I remember was waiting at school one day because my parents were late coming and picking me up like they would usually do and then I saw the hokage come up to me with two anbus beside him and a sad expression on his face.

I was happy to see him because he was coming up to me other than the teacher this time and he said "Hello Orochi-chan," "Hello lord hokage, I'm waiting for my parents to come and pick me up." When I said that I saw one of the anbus cringe a little bit and a teacher that was near us look away, "Orochi-chan… I'm sorry to tell you this but… your parents died while they were in on mission today by some iwa ninjas ambushing them."

I just looked at him and then the ground feeling like my heart had just been kicked getting in my head that my parents were dead and then I started to cry, first it was just that then it went into me all out screaming and my nose running with the hokage putting his arms around me. I couldn't see anything but the memories that I have of the times with my parents.

Then I remember being at the cemetery where they were buried at I was the only one there after everybody had left I was feeling so terrible I just felt like killing myself because I couldn't live without them and then everything went gray for some reason and I felt someone behind me.

I turned around and I saw a person in a black cloak with the hood over their head and even though he was way taller than me I couldn't see his face, all I saw was darkness and he asked me "Do you miss them little girl?" "Huh?" "I asked you, do you miss them? Your parents." "Yes I do, very much." I told him looking down remembering their faces, and then I heard him say "I can return them to you." "…What?" "I can return them to you if you wish." "You can? Please sir I want to have my parents back, I'll do anything!" "Really?" "Yes anything!" After I had said that he crouched down to me and said "Then I need you to close your eyes and open your heart to darkness, after you do that I can bring them back to life, that's all." I agreed with the circumstance he gave me and closed my eyes and really thought about the darkness and my parents, after that nothing. It only felt like a few seconds but when I woke up in the forest outside it felt like an hour or something and that's how I ended up here."

After she finished her story she had seen both Naruto and Kyuuhi looking at her with a sad expression and Naruto was the first to speak, "I can't say I know how it feels to lose your parents, but I do know what it feels to lose something precious and no matter what we'll help you find a way out of here and back to the real world you can count on it, dattebyo." Naruto said with a foxy smile that only he could pull off. Looking at them both she couldn't believe that they would help her someone they didn't even know, assuming this she decided to put her trust and faith in the both of them, "Ok then, Naruto-san, Kyuubi-san, I'm leaving my well-being in your hands, please do your best." She told them with confidence in her eyes.

Kyuuhi just looked at Naruto form the chair she was sitting in, 'Naruto-kun, that's one of the reasons why I love you so, because you would go out of your way to help someone no matter how much trouble it would cost you and with no hesitation or regret, huh?' before she could say something a tree burst out of the floor and a hole opened up on the side of it and who jumped out was none other than Mu, the wood ancient.

"Hey there Naruto, its time for your training!" he said grabbing him with an extended wood arm and jumped back into the hole dragging a screaming Naruto along with him and once they were both into the hole the tree went back into the ground and the floor looked like it hadn't even been touched leaving a very surprised Kyuuhi and a very confused Orochi.

In a field few ways away from the mansion

The tree popped up again and Mu popped out of it with Naruto in tow, dropping him on the ground he leaped over to the other ancients that were standing in the field. "Man that's smarts, hey Mu, what the hell was that about?" "What it was about Naruto is that it's time for your training." Said Tu standing on the cliff side with his arms crossed. Underneath him was Phyeria who was sitting on a flat surfaced rock that she probably made and in the field was Shui in sitting in a meditation position and Huo was moving around with an impatient look on his face.

Looking at them all Naruto pretty much figured out who he was going to be facing up against, "So I'm up against the both of you at the same time?" Naruto asked "That's right," said Mu "You will battle the both of them together to see how far you can go against them and also to see which of the two you will be training under first." While he was talking they were all getting ready for the battle that they were about to have "And now as mediator I will now have this battle… commence!" he said jumping out of the field in time before Naruto and Huo's punches hit each other. Once they hit it created a shockwave that sent them both back when Huo brought out his guns and started firing at Naruto.

Putting up the hand signs when he pulled out his weapons Naruto cast his jutsu, "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" and twenty clones popped up in front of him taking the shots that were fired a few were hit when they all started charging at him every time one was blasted away Naruto would make two more in its place, with the continuous firing and cloning Naruto was getting closer and closer and right when he was about hit Huo a wave of water was blasted upwards which is what Naruto ran right into sending him right into the air, falling hard to the ground.

Looking back Huo saw Shui walking onto the battle scene, "Hey Shui, what was that about? I was just about to get him until you did that stupid puddle move of yours!" walking in front of him, Shui commented right back at him, "My Taki no gijutsu no josho (Rising waterfall jutsu), isn't a puddle move, it's a high powered water cannon that I can shoot from the ground, you should be lucky that you were four inches away from it or else you would have hit it as well." "Hmph whatever, let's just kick this punks as and be done with this thing we have to do together." "Agreed." They both said as Naruto started to gather his chakra, "You guys sure can talk, but besides my Kage bunshin I have other shadow moves than just that." He said bringing out a kunai.

With it he channeled his chakra into it and called out his jutsu, "Kage-ho: Rengoku!" (Shadow jutsu: Chain of Blackness) and when the jutsu was called the chakra that enveloped the kunai turned black and changed the kunai itself into a sickle-like blade with a long black chain with three spikes around the holder and green runes on the blade, "All right you stupid idiots here's where the battle gets interesting." Naruto told them jumping at them with the blade ready to slice his opponent in two and once he was at Shui and slashed he brought out a trident that had long tri-linked blades with blue fur behind it and a swirled end and swatted it away with little effort, spun it around to the other end and lunged it at Naruto hoping to pierce him, but Naruto pulled on the chain bringing the blade back to him and blocked the trident stopping it from hitting him.

But what Naruto didn't expect was for water to come out of it and for Shui to take it and spin it around and lunged it making it look like a dance, and this continued on and on with Naruto going on the defensive very often. This went on until Naruto got hit hard by a blazing shot to his side and was sent rolling after which he got up to his feet and looked at Huo who was the one who shot it obviously, "Oi baka, don't forget that I'm here as well, even though our attacks don't mix well together at all, I'll just let this person try and aid me this once." Huo said with an arrogant looking face.

"Hmph, you're the one who will aid me in this fight you hotheaded blowhard, I hope your ready Naruto-san we won't hold back on you." Shui said as they prepared to get into the battle together in back-to-back formation. Seeing this Naruto decided to change up his tactics, "Kage-ho: Zetsui!" (Shadow Jutsu: Severed Shadow) he called out changing the weapon back into a kunai but with a more advanced look to it with having a flatness to it with the runes on it and the hole on the middle of it instead of on the end and the cloth was longer as well.

Running into action, he got midway to them and then leapt to the side to avoid a gun blast and when he did a clone started to go left which left them both to wonder how he did it without the aid of his hand signs but instead of attacking them it jumped straight over them and ran left creating another clone that was moving to the right.

This was going on and on with Huo continuously firing at him and hitting half of them, but this distracted him from the attack that was coming to him from behind but Shui, who was standing behind him, did and sent the blade part of his trident down keeping the kunai held in place and when he did that half of the clones made started to disappear, "It seems as though some of the clones you made were just afterimages brought about by the speed you were doing." Huo jumped from behind and fired at Naruto hitting him a few times before he broke out of the tridents hold and dodged the other ones bullets he shot. "Hah, even though you stopped my attack it doesn't mean that it's over just yet." Naruto told them resulting with them giving him a confused look.

While they were distracted two clones came out of the ground underneath them and got them in them chin sending them into the air, after that two more clones came out and kicked them back down, but before they hit the earth two Naruto's were under them and had their elbows out by which both of them landed on and both Naruto's started to gather chakra into their other hands and thrusted it into them, "Hissatsu: Uzumaki Biggu Webu!" (Certain kill: Uzumaki big wave) he called out sending a huge amount of chakra into both of his opponents. Throwing them to the ground, he crossed his arms over his chest and said "Is that all you guys have, I though you would've lasted longer than that."

"Naruto!"

Turning around he looked at Tu with a 'what is it' look on his face, "Just because you knocked your enemies down doesn't mean they are done for, keep your guard up!" He told him with a hardened look on his face. "Eh?" was all Naruto could say before he got blasted in the face with water and was sent rolling until he started to get bombarded with flame shots shot from the air.

Using a substitution jutsu to escape from it he looked to where his opponents were at and what he saw he couldn't believe. In front of him was a blazing red phoenix and gigantic shark that was inside of a floating water bubble, "What in the hell?" Shui was the first to speak "This is our true forms Naruto, the forms that will end this battle and you." Then Huo stated flapping his burning wings, "Let's see if you can win against us in this state." He said before flying in towards Naruto, "Quoting Shikamaru, 'what a drag'". Naruto said getting into a ready stance.

Well that's all for this chapter and hopefully it won't take a long time for it to come out like this one has (so sorry readers, oh so sorry) and until next time this has been part 1, hope you all liked it and stick around for part 2 with a good amount of things you might have/not expected this has been Zanji Suzunami and I'll catch you cats later. Also if any of you wanna talk about what's going on in Naruto right now in the anime/manga, character appreciation/bashing, or whatever else ya free to do that.

Until next time, ja ne.
