Chapter V

Lessons

The next morning Naruto awoke at a round five a.m. peeking out from behind his bed curtains Naruto saw that the others were still sound asleep. Silently Naruto slipped out of bed and quickly got dressed in a white T-shirt and sweatpants slipped on his slippers before he quietly began digging through his chest for something to read. In his chest Naruto found a scroll on basic Chakra control and quietly went down stairs to read it.

Once he was downstairs Naruto situated himself on one of the deep red comfy sofas that were before the warm fireplace. While Midnight, who had followed Naruto downstairs placed herself on his lap before curling back up and going back to sleep. Once Naruto himself was comfortable he began to read through the scroll. Hmm let's see if there's an exercise I can do between classes. Naruto thought to himself as he continued to read though the scroll before one caught his eye. What's this? Leaf balancing on a finger using only Chakra to keep it in place… Now that exercise I could use between lessons if I used a coin. Thought Naruto who then began to read the exercise's instructions carefully so that he fully understood what was needed to be done.

When Hermione came down from the girls dorm an hour after Naruto had woke up she was met with the sight of Naruto sat on one of the sofas seemingly balancing a Knut on his index finger. Thinking that Naruto was just simply relaxing Hermione approached him and tapped Naruto on his shoulder, much to her surprise though the Knut on Naruto's finger shot off his finger with enough force that it became embedded in the common room celling. Both preteens looked up at the now half embedded coin with slightly shocked and amazed expressions.

"Ok so maybe I won't use that particular exercise between lessons." Mused Naruto out loud who then looked to see who had tapped him on his shoulder and saw that it was Hermione who had tapped him on his shoulder. "Oh, good morning Hermione-Chan." Naruto said happily.

Hermione simply blinked a few seconds before she caught on to what Naruto had said. "Good morning to you too Naruto, but if I may ask how did you manage to launch that Knut up into the ceiling?"

Naruto mealy scratched the back of his head and chuckled and from the time spent with him at Diagon Ally and on the Hogwarts Express Hermione knew he did it when he was embarrassed. "He, he. It's a Chakra Control exercise from my home village." Naruto answered.

"So it's a Ninja thing then?" Hermione asked who had a cute expression of curiosity on her face. "Naruto, could you tell me about your home village please?" Hermione then asked. Naruto simply blinked before a grin appeared on his face and he began to tell Hermione about Konoha and the Elemental Nations.

It was around half Seven when Harry and Ron finally dragged themselves down stairs from the first years boys dormitory. Only to see both Naruto and Hermione sat happily chatting away to each other dressed in their school uniforms on one of the sofas. But what was shocking to Ron most was that while he and Harry were still bleary eyed the pair on the sofa were both bright eyed and wide awake meaning that they had been up for some time. "Bloody hell you two. How long have you been up?" Ron asked rubbing the remaining sleep from his eyes.

Naruto and Hermione simply paused in their conversation and turned their heads to look to the still half asleep boys, the one who answered Ron's question was Naruto. "I've been up since five Ron. Hermione-Chan here has been up since six. By the way you two should get dressed; Breakfast is in half an hour and then we have Transfigurations with Professor McGonagall first. See you two in the hall." Both Naruto and Hermione then stood and left the common room picking up their conversation where they left off thus missing Ron and Harry scramble back into the Dorm room to get dressed and soon repaired dressed and fled the Common room and headed for the great hall. But if Harry and Ron had paid more attention when they were talking to Naruto and Hermione they would have seen that as both Naruto and Hermione left the common room that they also had their school bags with them as well.

A good while later found Naruto and Hermione sat with a group of first years in the classroom of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration lesson. All of the students present were quietly scribbling away copying the information written down on the blackboard. It was at that moment that Harry and Ron arrived late for the lesson and clearly out of breath showing that they had been running. As they found a pair of empty seats Naruto heard Ron's comment about the look on McGonagall's face had they been caught arriving late to the lesson.

It was in that instance that the seemingly innocent looking cat that was on the front desk observing the class pounced in Harry and Ron's direction morphing as it did to reveal Professor McGonagall. From where he was sat next to Hermione, Naruto herd Ron's comment on what McGonagall did was 'bloody brilliant', that and McGonagall's thanks for the young man's praise. McGonagall then she proceeded to threaten the boys by remarking that she should transfigure one of the two boys in to a map or even a pocket watch so that they wouldn't be late again.

Her comment nearly caused Naruto to laugh out loud if not for Hermione pinching his arm to save him from his own spot of trouble with McGonagall.

Later that day the first years found themselves sat in the dungeon classroom of one Severus Snape. This was a lesson that those of Gryffindor House weren't particularly looking forwards too. This was because according to Fred and George, Ron's twin older brothers. Snape was biased towards members of his own house Slytherin and was harsh towards those who were not of his house, especially those from Gryffindor.

It didn't take long for the doors of Snape's office to be suddenly opened sharply and in walked a man in black flowing robes that made Naruto think of a bat. Naruto also saw that Snape had sallow skin and a large hooked nose with greasy black hair that seemed to frame his face in curtains. With the dim light of the class room Naruto could just see that Snape had cold black eyes that seemed to resemble tunnels as well as a thin lipped and sneering mouth.

As Snape strode up to the front desk he spoke in a clear and commanding voice. "There will be no silly wand waving or silly incantations in this class." When he reached the front desk he turned and continued his class brief whilst leaning slightly on the desk. "As such I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is Potion making. However, for those select few…" Snape said pausing momentarily to look at those from his own house then seemingly glancing at Naruto, before he continued "…who possess the predisposition… I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death." Snape explained his voice calm.

Naruto who was sat in between Naruto and Hermione near the back of the class was very impressed with Snape's ability to completely catch his class's attention. Snape then seemed to look towards Harry, who while not looking at Snape had been paying attention as he listed the potion skills Snape had mentioned in his note book.

"Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts with abilities so formidable, that you feel confident enough to not pay attention!" Said Snape as Naruto nudged Harry to get his attention to where it should be and moved his head just enough to let him know Snape had caught him. After a set of questions to Harry that he was unable to answer, Snape turned his attention to Naruto to try and embarrass him as well as Naruto had been able to save Harry from further trouble when he was taking notes.

"Mr Uzumaki, tell me of a plant of the Elemental Nations that will cause temporary paralysis in an individual." Snape all but demanded.

Naruto thought for a moment then answered. "Shinobi's Bane, it's a mushroom that causes paralysis in an individual for up to six hours." Was Naruto's answer much to the displeasure of Snape who stalked back to the front of the class to begin the day's lesson, only after reluctantly giving Naruto two points for his show of knowledge.

Towards the end of that day found the various years sat in the Great Hall studying or completing various homework assignments. One of those students was Semus who was trying to turn a goblet of water in to rum. Suddenly as usually happens with Semus there was a flash and a bang, one that still managed to surprise both Hermione and Naruto, even though they had witnessed this happen several times, and Semus was left with a soot covered face and a cup of burnt water.

Suddenly though the sound of hooting could be heard throughout the Great Hall as various owls of all shapes and sizes arrived all carrying various packages in there talons. One of those owls Naruto recognised as his mother's Grey Barn Owl Highwind, Highwind was carrying a medium sized box in his talons that he dropped in front of Naruto then circled round and flew in the direction of the owls roosting area. Naruto idly noticed that another owl had delivered to Ron a few letters along with a Daily Prophet. Opening the package from his mother Naruto found several sealing scrolls within that immediately caught Hermione's attention.

"Naruto. Why has your mother sent you a box of scrolls?" Hermione asked obviously confused. Naruto simply smiled at Hermione and pulled out one of the scrolls and opened it to reveal a strange set of symbols.

"These Hermione-Chan are Sealing Scrolls. Back home a Ninja will use them for various thing from storing spare clothes, extra weapons and even food. Very handy when a ninja might be away from civilisation for maybe months on end." Explained Naruto, who then bit his thumb enough to draw some blood which he smeared over one of the symbols and in a small poof of smoke there was a fresh Dragon Fruit in Naruto's hands. "See?"

Hermione nodded as it was obviously a very useful way to transport things around seeing as you would only need a few scrolls instead of a heavy backpack. Looking round to see what some of the others had got Naruto and Hermione saw that Neville had gotten a rememball. Which Hermione quickly explained that if the smoke inside turns red then you have forgotten something. Neville seeing the smoke turn red said that the only problem was that he couldn't remember what he had forgotten. That statement had caused Naruto to chuckle and told Neville to relax and that whatever he had forgotten would come to him given time.

Naruto and Hermione turned back to face Harry after he got Ron's attention and read an article in the Daily Prophet about how someone had broken into Gringotts Bank and stolen something from a vault that he had visited with Hagrid when he had gotten his school supplies. Meaning that whatever it was could now be within Hogwarts somewhere. That in turn got Naruto and Hermione thinking on what it could be, that was until a plume of smoke appeared in front of Naruto reviling Anko when it cleared.

"Come on Naruto it's time for us to start on your Ninja training get changed and meet me near Hagrid's Hut." Explained Anko and Naruto nodded then began to pack up his school equipment before disappearing back to the Common Room to get changed into his training clothes before heading out to Hagrid's hut. Once there he found Anko standing near a tall tree just outside the forbidden forest's boundary. "So what's my first lesson Anko-Sensei?" Naruto asked coming to a stop behind Anko.

Turning when she heard Naruto Anko was proud to see that Naruto was focused entirely on her and was awaiting instruction. "Good. Now Naruto your first lesson is in chakra control by using the tree climbing technique using only Chakra that you push to the soles of your feet. But be careful too much chakra and you will blow off too little and you won't stick at all." Explained Anko who mentally smirked when she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione had arrived to watch the training. The boys were keeping their distance out of some mild amount of fear. Maybe pinning that bleached blonde gaki to the wall after he called me a filthy Muggle had more of an affect then I thought. That Filch character liked it though. Mused Anko with a grin at least that Hermione is a brave one. Anko thought seeing that Hermione was much closer and within better hearing range then the boys.

Ignoring them for now Anko focused back on Naruto. "Now that's the tree I want you to practice on use this Kunai to mark your progress. Now begin!" ordered Anko who watched as Naruto began the exercise.

=N/H=

Two hours later found an exhausted Naruto being helped back to the Gryffindor Common Room by both Hermione and Anko. When the trio entered the Common Room it was almost empty save for a few confused looking fourth years. Helping Naruto over to one of the comfy sofa's where Naruto practically collapsed on to it. "You did good Naruto not many your age would have made up the whole length of the tree, practice when you can and we will see how many times you can run up and down that tree at your next training session. For now though get some rest." Explained Anko with a smile directed at Naruto

Naruto returned the smile and nodded "I'll keep practicing when I can, don't worry Anko-Sensei." Naruto answered with a small yawn. Naruto then turned to face Hermione. "Thanks for helping me get back to the Common Room Hermione-Chan."

"You're very welcome Naruto." Hermione said her cheeks taking on a small pinkish hue as Naruto drifted off intent on taking a small nap.

Seeing Naruto drift off Anko turned and faced Hermione. "Make sure he gets a good meal tonight it will help him recover his energy." Anko explained and Hermione nodded as she sat down next to Naruto and began to read one of her books just as Harry and Ron came down from the boys dormitory to see if Naruto was all right as they had ran away from watching Naruto's training early after Anko had 'Pretended' to spot them and joked about making them run laps around the castle.

"Why hello boys." Said Anko with a grin and laughed when the two boys paled seeing that Anko was in the Common Room. "Remember what I said Hermione make sure Naruto gets some food" Anko reminded Hermione before leaving the Common Room to where it was when she wasn't hanging around the castle grounds.

Well there we go the fifth chapter is done sorry for the delay in getting this out here but well that's life.
