After calming down from the incident where if he had been any faster he might of injured Anko, at moment he was sitting out in the lounge of living quarters of the tower dressed in a pair of pants without a shirt. The mysterious katana that had appeared in his hands when he reacted to Anko's presence was laying across his lap, looking down at the simple but still impressive sword Naruto was amazed by the craftsmanship of the blade.

It was only a little over two feet long with a slight curve of the blade, the blade itself was of a metal that looked to be steel but wasn't. It had an oval guard that was colored yellow, the hilt was wrapped in a blue cloth that he also couldn't identify. All in all it looked to be sword that should be in the hands of legendary Samurai rather then his own.

Anko was also sitting in the room deep in thought in a chair opposite of the blond, she was dressed in a loose shirt and pants. She realized that trying to sneak up on the brat in his sleep wasn't one of her greatest ideas yet, she should have thought about how the kid would react if woken up but she had gotten overconfident. The blond had reacted like she would have if someone had gotten near while she was asleep, attack first ask question if they lived, but the real puzzler was the sword that appeared in his hands all she had seen was a small flash of light in hands next thing she knew was that he was swinging a sword at her.

She then looked down at the kunai in her hands that the sword had cut half way through, things like that were possible with the swordsman having either enough power or skill to do so but the kid didn't have either of them. Tho she did have to admit that the brat did have a lot of raw unrefined potential, she had seen it when had swung at her it was like he had a instinctual grasp of how to use the weapon. Who knows maybe she would introduce to one of the few hardcore swordsman left in Konoha since the guy had been looking for apprentice.

Anko looked back to the blond and the tiger who was sitting next to him as he examined his sword, she wasn't sure what happened to cause this but her suspicions were that it was connected to the armors he found in the forest. She would have to talk with the Hokage about that but it would have to wait until a decent hour since it was about three in the morning.

"Alright brat why don't we hit the sack and we can figure this out with the Hokage later." declared Anko as she headed for her own room.

"Right that sounds pretty down good right about now, come on buddy lets go get some shut eye." said Naruto as he let out a yawn with Byauken following right behind him.

Going into the room Naruto put the katana on the dresser next to his other equipment before going to bed, it wasn't long before both Naruto and Byakuen fell asleep so it went unnoticed when the katana vanished in a barely noticeable flash of light.

Scene break

It was mid morning as the trio walked down the main street of Konoha on their way to the Hokage's tower, they still got the cold or hateful looks that were directed towards Naruto or Anko and the nervous one at Byakuen.

It had nearly sent Naruto into a curse fest when he found the sword gone, he had torn up the room looking for it. He finally decided that since the thing appeared mysteriously that it went away the same way.

When they had arrived at office of the Hokage the three were told to wait outside by a rather rude receptionist, it wasn't until around 20 or so minutes later that Anko having lost what little patience she had forced her way past the woman.

"Outta my bitch!"growled Anko as she pushed the secretary back into her chair after the woman had attempted to stop her then preceded to kick the door to the Hokage's door open.

When the doors opened Naruto had expected to see the old man in the middle of a important meeting or doing paper work the suckers way, but instead he was sitting there behind his desk reading an orange book with large blush and a perverted grin on his face.

Naruto face palms at catching the 'God of Shinobi' being a pervert "Seriously is every other guy in this village but me a pervert?" Naruto asks to the heavens hoping for an answer.

Scene break

After calming the two angered women down down and reprimanding the secretary for not allowing us in, we were sitting on the other side of the desk in a pair of chairs looking at the Hokage who had hidden his perverted book, mostly likely, in his robes sat with his hands steepled in front of him.

"So Anko what do I owe to this pleasure?" asked the Hokage in a grand fatherly way.

"Well Old man something really weird happened last night." Anko's eyes gained a sharp look that seemed to fit the normally playful woman.

This put the aged warrior on guard immediately "What do you mean by weird Anko?" his voice had gone from the man whom had treated me like his own blood to the Shinobi that survived the great Shinobi wars an put fear into his enemies hearts by the mention of his name.

"Last night I was er … having a little fun by sneaking into the brat's room to surprise him." the purple haired woman was attempting to mitigate her role in the situation " So just as I was about surprise him he wakes up and attacks me because he's still half asleep, the thing is that something happened when he was attacking a small flash of light went off in his hand and the next thing he was holding a katana that did this to the kunai I block with." said Anko as she took out said kunai.

The Sarutobi patriarch's eyebrows shot up as he gazed at the kunai Anko produced, from what he could be it was of high quality materials and of good make but had almost been sliced in half by what ever blade had struck it. Sarutobi had met a few warriors over his lifetime that could cut steel with a weapon with out the aid of chakra enhancement and he knew that Naruto didn't posses the skill to do so, so that left whatever blade did this must have been of far greater make then the mundane kunai which tied into his theory of what Naruto had encountered.

"Where is this katana that you spoke of Anko?" the weapon was needed to prove his theory about the armors that Naruto spoke of.

"Er that's the thing Jiji it kinda disappeared during the night I mean I looked all over for it but just vanished." said a confused Naruto as he scratched the back of his head with small smile.

Leaning back into his chair Hiruzen pondered on this problem until an idea hit him "Naruto I want to try something first stand up." giving his adopted grandfather a confused look but did as asked anyway " No I want you to close your eyes and bring up a mental image of the sword you had last night can you do that for me?"

"Okay." closing his eyes like he was instructed Naruto began to bring up a picture of the sword he had used the night before, which he did but instead of just one of the weapon his mental picture had a second blade that looked the exactly the same as the first right next to it.

Unnoticed by Naruto on his right forearm the black colored kanji for Rekka(wildfire) seemed to pulse for a second before it stopped, what happened next surprised the room's occupants, a weak red light appeared over the teen's shoulder as if a light bulb just puttered out. Over the young teen's right shoulder now hung a pair of katana in black leather sheaths that were attached to a black strap that went over his chest, the katana were parallel to each other with being slanted so that the hilts stuck over his right shoulder.

Opening his eyes Naruto blinked several times as if to make sure of what he was seeing is real, he then gripped the pair of sword hilts drawing them in smooth motion that made the elderly man raise an eyebrow that it. Normally one would have to practice even the simple act of drawing the sword many times before the person could do it that effortlessly which spoke of the young Uzumaki's potential with the weapon if he could handle them like that the first time he wielded them.

Naruto stepped back from the other people in the room and started to examine the weapons in his hands as if testing their balance "Uhh Jiji did you know this would happen?" said Naruto as he gave the older man a questioning look.

"I wasn't entirely certain it would happen Naruto but it was a well educated guess that this would occur." explained the Hokage looking satisfied getting an answer to his question.

"Really how so?" asked Anko who was looking quite confused.

After a moment of thought the Hokage assumed what his students called his lecturing pose with right hand extended with only his index finger out "After hearing about the armors that you said that you encountered yesterday in the forest it reminded me of a story I had once heard, so last night decided to look it up." the third Hokage then took out a old looking book with a odd looking picture on the front.

He turned to marked page which had a picture of an armor but without color "Naruto are these the armors that you saw yesterday in that cave?" as he turned the page to show more familiar armors along with a weapon next each picture.

"Yeah it's them alright but they were a different color when I saw yesterday." looking at the armors on the pages until he flipped the page to an armor he had never seen before "Well just the first five anyway I don't think I saw the other four." he looked closely at the last four armors that seemed to be far more menacing then the others.

Hiruzen nodded since that was what he suspected Naruto found "These armors in the book and the ones that you found are connected to a legend that is very important to the history of the nations, tell me Naruto what do you know of the Rikudo Sennin?".

Rubbing his chin thoughtfully Naruto was unsure of the answer "I think he was the one to first to discover chakra and pretty much started the Shinobi way.".

"That's correct Naruto but that wasn't all he did either through out his life he created many legends some of which sadly have been lost to time, one of these legends is called The Legend of the Nine Armors. It was said the Sage fought and defeated a Warlord called Talpa whom possessed an evil power which he used to try and conquer the world at the time, upon his victory the Sage banished Talpa's soul to another dimension. Doing so left Talpa's armor behind along with part of his dark power in it, being unable to destroy the armor the Sage instead created nine from it, to keep the armors pure he infused five of them with the power of the prime elements of fire, wind, water, earth and lightning. With the last four he used the power of seasons of summer, spring, fall and winter to empower them, to keep the armors uncorrupted by user he instilled a guiding virtue into the armor. It is said that while the Sage held great power like a god he was still mortal and being so he was unable to purge the evil energy entirely from the last four armors."

"It is believed that the Sage sealed the armors away so that their great power could not be used for evil only to be found by the one meant to wield them. The four armors that still held a part of Talps's energy were called the Warlord armors while the ones that embodied the elements are the Ronin armors, I believe you have found and been chosen by the Ronin armors." with the story and explanation out of the way Sarutobi leaned back to see how Naruto reacted to his theory.

Naruto stood there unmoving expect for the slow opening and closing of his mouth without sound coming out, he was in shock because it wasn't everyday that you found out that you were possibly chosen by part of the Sage of the Six paths legend to wield the powers of legend.

Anko wasn't much better off then Naruto excepting this but she was far better at hiding the shock.

Naruto finally found his voice once again "You think I've got those armors, why the hell would they chose me?" Naruto didn't think himself so great, the armors were so powerful why not chose a great Samurai from Iron instead of a no name Gennin.

Giving Naruto a reassuring smile knowing the boy's thoughts from the look on his face "Because Naruto you were meant to find them and held their guiding virtue." the boy had bit of confidence issue that he hid with his loud personality.

Still not totally certain of that fact Naruto just brushed it off for later "So Jiji do you know how to use the armors?" asked Naruto just knowing that the man would have an answer since he was the wisest person Naruto knew.

"Not a clue." shaking his head with a shrug of his shoulders.

Naruto face faulted at the answer "Huh?"

Smiling at the teen's reaction Sarutobi continued talking "Now Naruto you can't just expect that I would have an answer to all your questions, you just have to work for this one yourself huh.".

"Fine." said Naruto as he crossed his arms over his chest dejectedly "But there had better be some good news to come of this."

Injecting herself into the conversation Anko spoke up "Well Old man I that's all you gotta say we've got pressing matters to take care of!" said the purple haired woman as she grabbed Naruto arm starting to drag him towards the door.

"Um what kinda of pressing matters?" inquired Naruto feeling decidedly nervous about the smirk on the woman's face.

"Oh you'll see as soon as we pick up my other minion."

Scene break

"Cowardly son of a bitch!"

"Yellow bellied feline!"

These were a few of the comments from the two teenage Shinobi about their animal partners, both boys were weighted down with many bags from various stores as they followed four women. The two animals having split as soon as they saw the looks in the four Kunochi's eyes leaving Naruto and kiba to play mule for their shopping trip, Anko had even told Naruto that wasn't allowed to use the Kage bubshin jutsu to foist the bags on the clones.

The four women on the shopping trip were of course Anko along with her friends Kurenai Yuuhi, Yugao Uzuki, and Kiba's older sister Hana, all four of the ladies were wearing causal clothes that made Naruto have to kick Kiba's shin to make him stop staring, well at least he didn't ogle his sister.

Standing away from the four women as they shopped Naruto and kiba were having a conversation.

"Damn it Naruto did you have to kick me so hard, I'm gonna have bruises tomorrow!" grouses as he shakes his abused shin trying to lessen the pain.

"Well maybe I wouldn't have to." said the blond sharply "If you could stop blatantly staring at their asses, I consider you something of a friend Kiba so the gruesome murder that would happen before my eyes would scar me for life." he was healthy teenage male and interested in the opposite sex, but that didn't mean he was horn dog like Kiba that thought with his little head more often then not.

"Yeah well I as long as I don't get caught it doesn't matter." said a grinning Kiba "And don't act like you weren't looking at Hana's ass I saw it.".

"Oh and I'm supposed to act like she's not hot, cause it looks like she got all the good looks and you just came out fugly." the talk was quickly becoming a pissing match which was normal for teenage males no matter who they are.

"Oh yeah!" growled Kiba.

"Yeah bacon bits!" Naruto fire.

Luckily all they all the two could do while weighted down by the bags they were holding was hurl insults at each other and glare.

With the girls during the boy's conversation.

"Wonder what those two are talking about?" asked Hana as she looked to where the two teens were talking in hushed whispers lo enough so that even her enhanced hearing couldn't pick it up.

"Isn't obvious Hana their talking about us." her answer came from a grinning Anko.

"Really Anko and how did you come to that conclusion?" asked a skeptical Kurenai.

"That's easy Nai-chan their boys and right the age where their hormones do all the thinking for them." Anko's tone was teasing.

Rolling her eyes Kurenai snorted at her friends thoughts "Oh come on Anko you really don't think that.".

"No Kurenai I think Anko's got something." spoke up Yugao " Well at least partly, I thought I saw Kiba staring at Anko's rear until he was kicked in the shin by Naruto." she trailed off as she watched the two teens trade insults with each other.

Scene break.

"Whew I thought it never end." groaned Naruto as he wiped the sweat off his forehead, it had taken two hour and half hours for the four kunochi to call it quits on the shopping.

So here he was standing outside the tower in the forest of death, Anko had told him that the animal would come near the tower, where he was finally going to get some training done.

Standing by his side was Byakuen who had finally shown back up after he had finished carrying the bags.

Before he left the Hokage's office Jiji had told him that if he could summon the twin katana there was a possibility that he could do so with the rest of the weapons that went with the armors.

The old man had shown him pictures of what the weapons looked like, so he began to picture one of the weapons in his minds eye.

Just like before one of the kanji tattoo's pulsed heralding a small flash of light from his hands, when Naruto opened his eyes he saw like last time was holding a weapon but it wasn't the twin katana from before. The weapon in his hands was a one sided sword that was close to his height, the blade was gleaming sliver that was master work in smithing. Closer to the base of the blade was an odd looking hook on the front with a handle on the back, the guard was four pointed shuriken made of a metal that looked like bronze. The hilt of the sword was wrapped in blue with the pommel seemed to be a kunai point.

Swinging the Nodaichi around in testing he found it to be the same kind of quality as the twin Katana, dismissing the blade with a thought he noticed that when he did so it broke down into small bits of light that flowed into one of the kanji on his arm, specifically the kanji for Korin(Halo).

Raising an eyebrow at something he would have to find out about later, since he knew how to summon the weapons now it was easy to do so. As he summoned each one he could tell that each of them were made by a legendary smith, the weapons he summoned were -

The first weapon he summoned after the sword was an Tetsubo(Iron bo staff) made of dark gray metal that was at least five feet tall, on the top end of the bo staff was naginata blade while at the other end was pair of small blades that stuck out near the end of the staff.

The next weapon he summoned was metal bow that he heard was called a hankyu colored a dull gold, the weapon seemed to be collapsible allowing him to attach the long range weapon to the quiver when he wasn't using it. He had discovered something strange about the quiver when had tried to fire an arrow at a nearby tree, the arrow had exploded on contact with the tree but what had surprise was when he looked back to the quiver he saw that the thing was full, another thing that he would have to investigate later.

The last weapon he called for was spear of black steel had a very interesting head, the head seemed to be a trident but with the center blade having the ability to retract allowing the two outer blades to act as a man catcher. The other odd thing about the weapon was another was summoned with it, the weapon in question was tanto blade strapped over his right shoulder which was probably for when getting in close and the spear would be more of hindrance.

All the weapons were of masterful make and having any weapon nut jumping in joy being able to own them, which brought Naruto to one of the biggest problems at the moment was he knew next shit about using the weapons. The only weapons he knew how to use were shuriken and kunai that all academy students were taught, but beyond that they either had to learn from their team Sensei or learn on their own.

Standing in the middle of the clearing deep in thought about what to do next, since Konoha wasn't famous for it's weapon users he had no idea what to do. One of his options was to go find a person to teach him how to wield the weapons but considering his status he was likely to be refused, the other option was to go to a weapon store and buy scroll on how to use the weapon, that was also a bust since most of the civilian run stores would throw him out and the one Anko had taken him didn't sell the things he was looking for.

He was so deep in thought that the blond didn't notice a person sneaking up on him until a pair of slender arms looped around his neck and pair of large soft objects pressed against his back, he resisted the urge to scream like a little girl.

Jumping away from the person Naruto spun around summoning the twin Katana, with one in hand and the other on his back, brandishing it towards who ever sneaked up on him. Standing where had stood not moment ago was Anko who was looking quite pleased with herself going by her grin.

"Anko what the hell! You nearly gave me a heart attack." said Naruto as he lowered his sword waiting for his heart to stop beating like a jack hammer.

"Hehe your lucky it was me brat and not someone dangerous." how she kept a start face saying that while twirling a kunai was beyond him.

"Right." said the teen with sarcasm "So what do you want, I mean you had reason for sneaking up on me.".

She cocked her head to side as a sign of curiosity " I was just wondering what your doing out here.".

"Training." was Naruto's curt reply.

"Right." Anko rolled her eye as she said that " So sitting out here scowling at nothing is considered training now, wow must be the new Uchiha method.".

Naruto's right eye twitched at being compared the brooder "No I was just thinking about training in my new weapons but I don't know where to start with them." giving a shrug before sighing.

"Well then why don't I teach you." said Anko as she strutted closer giving Naruto a grin that had a tint of mischievousness in it.

Raising an eyebrow at that Naruto asked "You know how to use the weapons?" Naruto was honestly surprised about that since most Shinobi didn't bother learning about weapons past shuriken and kunai.

"Er sort of my former Sensei." wow now that was some venom on that last word "Made sure I could at least use the basics of most weapons which I am willing to teach you and you only have to do is one thing for me.".

"And that is?" instantly suspicious of the purple haired woman in front of me.

"You have to call me Anko-sama for a month."

"You could just order me to do that you know."

"True." said Anko who had a sly grin on her face "But then after two weeks you can disregard all my orders but this will be your word to me.".

Okay Uzumaki it's decision time, you can either keep your pride what little you have and say no or you can swallow that pride and learn how to use the awesome weapons you have.

'It's kinda pathetic how easy it is to bribe me.' "Fine Anko-sama." wow that word actually causes me physical pain.

"Great brat lets get going." said Anko as she grinned evilly.

Scene break.

Okay it was official Anko was insane and her training was just as nuts as the creator, the first thing she had Naruto do was run around the tower 20 times. Okay not so hard for someone of Naruto's stamina right well that was until she added 50 pounds to each limb and 75 to his body, for incentive he was chased by a couple of her snake summons.

The next exercises were doing sets of push ups, sit up, and various other exercises to build his strength so he could use the weapon, he was also wearing the weights for these too.

Her next training exercise was for him to go through basic sword kata's with a bokken with the weights, she did forget to mention that she put a seal on the bokken that made the wooden sword weigh 40 pounds and going through the katas 200 times. He was only using the single sword so he could familiarize himself with the weapon before he tried to wield two of them.

He only had to go through the workout three times so by the time he dragged himself up to bed the moon had risen high in the sky.

Laying on the bed groaning slightly at the pain in his muscles that he knew would disappear by morning thanks to his healing factor, as he drifted off to sleep Naruto thought 'At least it can't get any worse.', the blond should have known not to tempt a man named Murphy.

Chapter 3 end.
