Chapter 5 : Assimilation

One Year After Sharingan Training – Training Ground 4 – Konoh


There was a question anyone who knew about Naruto's training, and once even Naruto himself, would ask. Why does he not start with the basics like everyone else.

That's the thing, he's NOT everyone else. He is special, has two of the strongest bloodlines and an extremely potent Chakra, expected to be comparable with Biju in the future. As such it is only fitting for him to get control. Now it would be a simple task to teach a prodigy the basics but why not lay the foundations for understanding any complexity. This was the reply Shisui gave to Naruto along with an added "Besides, how much more basic can you get? You're doing Chakra Control Training and physical exercises, practice on elemental control and whatnot. The only thing you don't have a base on is a suitable fighting style; and that's not too complicated especially with your natural talent at learning, Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) or not." The last part was said as Naruto hadn't started Sharingan training hence had not started developing a Taijutsu style.

Currently, we can see our favorite blond facing off against his Sensei. Not much had changed about him other than gaining some height.

Both fighters had their Sharingan ready, three tomoe against two tomoe. "Let's get this dance started, ttebayo" exclaimed an expectant Naruto who dashed forward.

"Right, Hajime" said Shisui and sprinted to counter his student.

A loud echo resounded, their fists clashed. Glaring in each other's eyes they cast Genjutsu, of course Shisui held back his strongest.

Seeing that no one was getting the upper hand, Naruto attempted to kick Shisui but got his leg grabbed. Shisui was mid process of throwing Naruto on the ground when he got a roundhouse kick at the back of his head, courtesy of our hero.

Shisui was about to crash onto the earth but he regained his bearings and steadied himself, landing a kick on Naruto who was sent flying into a tree, imprinting his figure on it.

Picking himself up, Naruto cursed under his breath, he went through a series of hand seals. Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique). A large raging fireball flew at Shisui who used the Kawarami (Substitution) just in time to get out of the way.

Shisui then countered. Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni (Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson). Multiple blazing balls of fire raced towards Naruto, who used another Jutsu to defend himself. Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Release: Water Formation Wall). From the atmosphere the water vapor became the source of a giant wall of water.

"Good job Naruto, no one since the Nidaime has been able to do that; although I suppose that this is to be expected as you're already strong primary affinity for wind, lightning and water was boosted by your 'circumstances'" complimented Shisui and used the Shunshin to appear in front of Naruto.

A month or so after Naruto's affinities were confirmed his case was taken to the Sandaime for an explanation. According to the old Hokage, the Rikudō Sennin (Sage of the Six Paths) had the Rinnegan eye. As legend had it, the Rinnegan granted the user control over all five elements. The progenitor of the Ninja World was also said to be the ancestor of the Uchiha, Senju and the Uzumaki; although they were a branch of the Senju which separated a long time ago due to possessing a mutated version of the Senju's bloodline. So the conclusion Hiruzen drew was that Naruto had the blood of all three clans hence was the closest thing to a blood relative of the Sage, so due to this he got attuned to all the elements while his primary ones, inherited from his parents and one he got naturally; wind, water and lightning respectively; were given a boost. Naruto MIGHT awaken the Rinnegan, though that was a major unknown which Naruto felt that he should doubt.

Back to the battle; Shisui came directly in front of Naruto, Sharingan eyes met.

Shisui attempted to punch Naruto but with his Sharingan he saw it coming it and caught it. He then used both hands and threw his Sensei over his shoulder into the ground. Taking out a Kunai, he placed it on Shisui's neck.

"Even though you held back, I won" cheered Naruto feeling confident in his victory. However in an instant, the world shattered like glass and broke apart.

We could see Shisui standing behind Naruto with a Kunai placed at his neck, "Foolish little student, you don't have enough attention. I had expected you to notice the Genjutsu when our eyes met, but you are young so it is to be expected" said Shisui.

In an instant, Naruto started to glow and the words left his tongue, "Aren't you the foolish one, Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion)" and he exploded.

"Take that" said Naruto but felt cold steel on his neck, Shunshin no Shisui (Shisui the Teleporter) did not get the name for being a slouch.

"As I was saying, you need more than Nin, Tai, and Gen Jutsu to beat me" said Shisui, "Did you formulate a plan? No. You just went with the flow. Remember my words, no matter how powerful you are, without strategy you are nothing."

"I know, but you've gotta admit that I'm better than before" exclaimed Naruto after Shisui let him go, they had been having monthly test spars ever since Naruto gained proficiency in the use of the Sharingan.

"I'll say that you're good. You've made great progress with your Sharingan; you managed to keep up with me when I was performing at high Chunin level. Your prediction and Genjutsu skills with the Sharingan are B to A rank and Jutsu speed is on Chunin level. That Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion) surprised me, where did you learn that?"

Sitting down Naruto replied, "You remember that spar that you had with Itachi-nii"

Flashback

We could see one Uchiha Naruto sitting on a ground looking profusely at something with his Sharingan active, of course after Itachi's attention left him.

Itachi had the Sharingan active, under which were long, pronounced tear-troughs. He had jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin. He wore a black shirt with the Uchiha Crest on the back, black Anbu pants and Shinobi sandals.

Currently, the Uchiha Clan Heir was in a spar with his best friend. Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique). A large inferno kindled and to the shape of a menacing dragon. The Dragon raced towards Shisui, however in a last second Shunshin (Body Flicker), Shisui managed to escape the destructive mass of fire.

However his success was short-lived as he came face to face with a glowing Itachi. Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion). Cursing under his breath, Shisui performed a Kawarami (Substitution) towards safety but his clothes got charred around the edges.

Meanwhile, our onlooker managed to figure out the mechanism of the Jutsu and copied it, "Now I just have to practice it, I'll surprise Sensei with this" said an excited Naruto.

While Naruto was assimilating the technique, the fight had ended in a draw. Both fighters were low on Chakra.

"Let's get going Naruto" said a worn down Shisui.

"Just a minute" replied Naruto as he whispered something into Itachi's ear at which he got a nod and smile in response.


Flashback End

"Well I told him that I want to learn the Jutsu so I'll send ten clones over to him to practice. He said to surprise you when the opportunity appears. Don't worry I didn't reveal the Sharingan just yet, but I think Itachi-nii can be trusted with that bit of information" said Naruto.

"So Itachi taught you. Yes, you can tell him next year, by then you will be able to have a guaranteed win against the average Chunin without your eyes. Remember one thing, never, and I mean NEVER, get too reliant upon your Sharingan, this is the reason most Uchiha get killed in battle. Say you are rendered unable to see, what would you do?" replied Shisui. "Anyways, I think that your foundation has been laid and now let's go over the easy stuff. I will teach you Kenjutsu. Do me a favor and look for Kushi-Sensei's Katana. Bring it after we're done with the basics. I expect you to be able to master them in a month" said Shisui seriously

"Hai Sensei, and don't worry the Sharingan is my ace in the hole, not my standard Kunai which I throw at every person I fight" replied the blond.

"Good, I'll give you details tomorrow, go and rest for today" were the words leaving Shisui's tongue as he left in a Shunshin.

=====OFR=====
Uchiha Compound - Konoha


Naruto had taken to the rooftops in order to avoid the nuisances that were Konoha's citizens, although he wouldn't have had any problems while moving through the streets as people conveniently opened a path for him, hoping to avoid him. Landing in front of the Clan Head's house, Naruto sensed no other Chakra Signatures other than Mikoto's and who he guessed was a visitor. Yes, our favorite blond was a sensor, he awakened his ability one day when Shisui was a little late for training and he was getting impatient. Shisui landed a few dozen feet behind him, hoping to surprise him but got found out when Naruto's freshly awakened sensor ability tracked him down. Ever since then, he had made fifty clones, since he could handle more mental strain with ease, to hone his sensory skills.

Anyways, he entered the compound to see Mikoto and a girl around his age, who was about to leave. She had the typical Uchiha features, coal black eyes and raven hair. She had a cute face, according to Naruto, and her hair reached down to the middle of her back. She tied a blue ribbon over her head, which on Naruto's opinion made her look even more majestic. She wore a black blouse with the Uchiha Crest on the back and dark blue shorts that reached just below her knees. She had fair skin and a slender but feminine figure, which showed promise in the future. She was just a few inches shorter than Naruto.

In the year of Sharingan training Naruto had matured a lot and had gotten far ahead of the 'cooties' concept. When their eyes met, they both immediately blushed. It seemed that the girl was also aware of more than what the average seven year old should.

Saying a rushed 'goodbye' to Mikoto she quickly attempted to run outside. Key word, attempted. She tripped and crashed into Naruto, who with greater reflexes, caught the girl. The position they were in made for an amusing scene.

"Aww, young love, it never ceases to amaze me to what extent to which it runs" cooed Mikoto looking at the scene. Naruto was sitting cross-legged and had the girl in his arms. Said girl had her head leaning on Naruto's chest.

The two of them were surprisingly enjoying the position but upon hearing Mikoto, the both blushed and shouted in unison, "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!".

"Now Now, Naruto-kun, Nana-chan, I'm just kidding. However seeing you enjoy that position made me wonder if I'll be a grandmother a little too early" said Mikoto, knowing full well above the children's unnatural knowledge of the human body.

"KAA-CHAN" they both shouted again in unison.

"Great, you two can subconsciously read each other's thoughts and say everything in perfect unison, a perfect couple" said an amused Mikoto finding entertainment at the embarrassed children's' expense.

An embarrassed Naruto and Nana stopped giving attention to Mikoto and talked to each other.

"Thanks for catching me Naruto-kun" said grateful but still blushing Nana.

"Think nothing of it. What do you say, wanna be friends, Nana-chan" replied Naruto, extending his right hand towards her.

"Sure" replied an ecstatic Nana.

'C-cute' was the thought of a blushing Naruto.

"So I'll leave now. Ja Ne, Naru-kun, Kaa-chan" said Nana, this time managing to leave without any problems.

"So Kaa-chan, who was she and why did she call you 'Kaa-chan'? I also saw sadness in her eyes, no matter how well she tried to hide it" asked Naruto.

"She's the daughter of a late, old friend of mine. She's an orphan and lives with her aunt. She has the Sharingan as her parents were killed in front of her by enemy ninja and she was spared. I found her playing alone in the park when she was four. I took the place of her mother figure ever since. She's a lot like you actually, take out the Kyubi and turn you into a girl and she is the result" replied Mikoto sadly.

"She doesn't have many friends, does she?" enquired Naruto.

"Yes, you're actually each other's first friend. You because you're seen with prejudice and her because she's too mature for her age" she replied, again in a sad tone.

"Where exactly does she live?" asked Naruto curiously.

"Oh my, already making plans for children" teased Mikoto at which Naruto blushed, "Just kidding, she lives in the house right there" pointing at the house to the right of the one on the opposite side".

"I see, I'll go and spend time with her often. I know that it'll make her happy, after all, that's what I want" said Naruto, hoping to help his new friend overcome her grief.

"You do that, I'm sure it'll help the both of you. Plus, it'll hook you two up, make a match" teased Mikoto, readying herself for the onslaught by her godson.

"KAA-CHAN!" shouted Naruto tackling her and using Shunshin (Body Flicker) to take the both of them to the bedroom where a pillow fight took place.

=====OFR=====
Uzumaki Estate - Konoha


Walking in front of his house, Naruto muttered "Honestly, Kaa-chan can go overboard sometimes" but thought 'Though I wouldn't mind if me and Nana got together'.

He had spent an hour with the Uchiha Matriarch the pillow fight didn't last more than twenty minutes and left after cleaning up, which took half an hour, during which they chatted and then some. It was night time and Naruto decided that he should find the Katana and go to sleep.

Looking all around the house, he finally reached a room where he saw a variety of weapons. Whistling, Naruto said "Now that's a jackpot, let's see here it is" finding his mother's sword, the Aka Shometsu (Red Annihilation). It had a red sheath and a black grip with golden diamonds decorating it. It had a metallic silver blade and a black guard with the pattern of a dragon carved on it. On the sheath was a band which could be tied around the waist or over the shoulder to carry the sword.

A note was pinned beside the rack on which the Katana was placed.

Dear Naruto,

This is the Aka Shometsu (Red Annihilation), the Katana which helped me gain the moniker, 'Aka No Shi (Red Death)'. If you're reading this note, that means that I'm dead. In that case find Uchiha Shisui, my student, and ask him for help in learning how to use a sword. I am giving this sword to you and once you've become proficient enough in the art of sealing, you can open the seal hidden behind this rack to get the other sword, originally intended for you.

With Lots of Love,
Your Kaa-chan,
Uzumaki Kushina.


"Thanks Kaa-chan, you don't know how much you've helped me in the past two years" said a grateful Naruto.

Putting the sword back in the rack Naruto went to bed. However he suddenly felt his head hurt a little, no too severely, but the damage was there.

"Ugh, must be because of the Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) training. I'll have to stop using clones for doing everything that I have to, other than the fifty clones who will begin practicing Fuinjutsu (Sealing Art)" thought a tired Naruto, finally managing to sleep as the mini-migraine had left.

=====OFR=====
Next Day - Training Ground 4 - Konoha


Sitting at the ground, Naruto was in deep meditation. He was after all suffering the basic side effects of Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) training. Therefore he had to focus to get his mind back into shape.

Arriving in a Shunshin, Shisui greeted "Yo, Naruto".

"Ohayo Sensei" replied Naruto.

"Now then, Naruto you will make six hundred clones and sen…" Shisui was saying but noticed that Naruto was uncomfortable, so he asked concerned, "What's wrong Otouto?"

"I can't use Clones for training, at least for another year. I'm starting to face headaches. Sorry to disappoint you, Nii-chan" replied a slightly dejected Naruto.

"It's alright Naruto. It's only normal that you face the side-effects, in fact you've lasted a year longer that I had expected" said Shisui, in an attempt to cheer his student up.

"Anyways, I've left a few clones for training in Fuinjutsu (Sealing Art), fifty is all I'd like to use in this year" said Naruto.

"Good thinking, as for the things I will teach you, I'll push the deadline to two months. You will have to master the basic Kenjutsu Katas in a month. In the next month you will start learning proper Kenjutsu and will practice what you have learnt up until now. I want you to refine your Taijutsu Style and I'll teach you an occasional Jutsu every now and then. As I said yesterday, you are a little weak in strategy, therefore we will play strategy games and whilst doing so, I'll randomly ask a question on what you would do in certain situations and judge your decisions" ordered Shisui.

"Hai Sensei, Clones make things too easy" retorted Naruto.

"You're determined, I expect nothing but the best from you. We'll do something about your Mokuton in the ten months after which you will join the Academy and our little training sessions will be reduced greatly" said Shisui.

"Understood, don't worry, as long as we get to meet each other, I don't mind us parting" replied Naruto picking up the Boken (Wooden Sword) which Shisui brought. Naruto began practicing the basic slashes as guided by Shisui.

And so Uchiha Naruto began his Kenjutsu training, knowing full well that this was his last year under Shisui's tutelage.

And Cut.

So, I hope you enjoyed.

See ya next time

Aaaaand we skip another year =p I like that the built-up that you have laid down previously is slowly starting to take form, I just wonder if/when you're going to do a major skip?
I liked the fighting choreography, and your grammar seemed to improve too. Where you are the genius (vocabulary-wise), I am the hard-worker, but you are getting there. Best one so far on that account! ;)

So we finally see an original character. I still think they are way too young for Sasuke's mother to be teasing them like that, Naruto-verse or not, haha. But it gives out a promising vibe for the future. Makes me wonder why she's home alone all the time (any plan on involving more canon characters soon or are you taking this story another way?).

""KAA-CHAN!!!" shouted Naruto tackling her and using Shunshin to take the both of them to the bedroom where a pillow fight took place." We all know what really happened there, haha xD

"He had spent an hour in the pillow fight and left after cleaning up, which took half an hour."

I mean, an hour pillow-fighting? And then half an hour "cleaning up" :rolleyes: XD

Overall, I think you are getting better and better. For what started out as "a joke of a concept" has actually turned into something serious. Your writing is getting better too like I mentioned earlier. I wonder where you will take it from here, I do expect something big to happen next chapter though (due to chapter's name and expectations, haha). The way you are showing these training sessions are beyond what I originally thought you would "care" to do, so got to applaud you there. Get those few hick ups out of the way, and I might have to start looking out for my back, haha. Then we can call ourselves rivals ;)

8.5/10 this time around.

PS: I see other people commenting too, which is great. What did I tell you? ;)

A major time skip will take place soon.
Hehe thanks, I'm finally catching up.

Hmm, the beginning will revolve mainly around the Uchiha.

Hahaha, honestly speaking, when I wrote that, I didn't even realize that such an interpretation was possible, I guess it did work out well in the humor department.

Right now I'm sugar coating the story as much as possible, some toppings are left after which I'll plunge it into an ocean of darkness (sorry for the spoiler).


Yeah I feel that this chapter was well written too. The next one might feel a little forced but beneath all of its bright atmosphere, some minor things will take place which will have major consequences.

I guess I still have support. I feel quite relieved.

Cool =p Ought to be a good one.
Yeah, still some time to go though, haha ;)

I see. Well I guess we'll see more of Fugaku and Sasuke later on too, or is this a story that takes a different route entirely?

Lmao xD

Well I guess there are a lot to look forward to then. I'm sure the next one will be a blast.

I suppose there is.

It won't be too different but I suppose there will be many changes.

I actually have the next written and ready but it just doesn't seem to have that special thing, what do I call it, you'll probably understand. Anyways, I won't disappoint you and all my readers.

Well yeah, but I usually get that feeling after re-reading a chapter for 5 hours before release. At that point, everything seems wrong lol xD

Whoa! Another one year timeskip, time sure is beginning to move fast :) The Sharingan training is very intense! =D I liked that Naruto copied a jutsu of of Itachi and a formidable one at that :) This is insane, the child has even awakened sensory abilities! I liked this young pretty Uchiha girl whom Naruto seems to be charmed by as well as the name you chose for her character ^^ Mikoto’s toying remarks towards the two children was very amusing lol It’s unfortunate that this girl has a sorrowful past and she and Naruto have that in common. I’m just loving Naruto and Mikoto’s relationship more and more! =D I found Kushina also being proficient in the arts of kenjutsu to be pretty epic and her katana is a beauty :) So there is a drawback for Naruto, I was thinking he’d would never stop reaching for the stars with how exceptional his progress was but I liked that there was logic here and so he’d have to cut back profusely on the clones :) However, this drawback was just a tiny bump on his road and he didn’t let it stop him-what a powerful drive he possesses!

I really liked this chapter, wonderful work! ;)
