"Iruka-sensei, why are there three types of jutsu?" Neji asked. The man smiled at his inquisitive student that bore the shame of the branch family. The man simply smiled at him and nodded, acknowledging the boy.

"Well, Neji, there are three types of jutsu, because not everyone can do ninjutsu, as I can, or genjutsu, like Kurenai-chan, and though most all ninja can do Taijutsu, not everyone is going to be as well at it as Gai-sensei. So, this just helps each person separate the good from the bad and specialize in a specific area.

Does that answer your question, Neji-san?"

Neji nodded.

"Alright, does anyone else have a question? Yes, Naruto?"

Naruto smiled. "I read in some scroll in the Hokage's office, Iruka-sensei, that there are different classes to jutsu's. Can you tell us what they are, Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka nodded. "Yes Naruto, there are 6 ranks, ranging from E, the weakest, to S-rank which is the strongest. It's up to your individual teachers to teach the more powerful moves, however if a person cannot perform E-rank ninjutsus' it's more than likely they cannot perform S-rank ninjutsus'.

The Bunshin no Jutsu for example was created as a way to trick people, but the forbidden move Kage Bunshin no Jutsu was created to trick, and attack, giving it a higher rank than the E-rank for Bunshin no Jutsu. Even better than that, it's said, is the Tajuu Kage Bunshin, which creates many more than the regular Bunshin, and Kage Bunshin, but it's at least an A-Rank, if not an S-Rank.

Also, there is the Henge no Jutsu, which is another easy E-rank, and the Kawarimi no Jutsu.

These are all essential to a genin. However, as with you Naruto, there are times when Chakra is so powerful in a person, they cannot use smaller level jutsu, but can use higher level. Neji, use a Bunshin no Jutsu and create three clones for me."

Bunshin no Jutsu! Neji did as he said. Three Bunshins appeared. "Now, Naruto try."

Naruto did the seals, and called Bunshin no Jutsu, but the only thing that appeared was a dead dummy. The class laughed. "Now, Neji, you're easily the best in the class, so perform a Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, but add the seal for Kage before the rest of the seals." Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! Neji again exclaimed. His appeared as a pale version of Neji, with a little amount of Chakra.

KAGE Bunshin NO JUTSU! Naruto yelled. Around him appeared five Kage Bunshin. The class stared. "Naruto has a level of Chakra that makes it impossible to control, when he uses techniques, he automatically uses more than needed for E-rank jutsu. He however, has enough to power Kage Bunshin. On that reverse side, Rock Lee here, cannot use Chakra at all. He will, more than likely, be placed with Maito Gai for the man's prowess at Taijutsu. That doesn't mean that you're less powerful at all, Lee, just will have to train harder. Become a Genius of Hard Work as it is."

Before anyone could say anything, Lee jumped up and said, "YOSH! I WILL BECOME A GENIUS OF HARD WORK AND BEAT YOU NEJI, AND YOU MY FRIEND NARUTO!"

The people in the class paled.

Naruto jumped on the table, "YEAH! Don't give up fuzzy brows!"

"Yosh!"

Iruka smiled. He wanted to put Naruto and Lee together, but it wasn't possible. They were last, and dead last, respectively. He had his team, Neji, Lee, and Tenten, together, already, but wasn't sure who to put the crazy ninja with.

"Alright, settle down!"

The class turned to Iruka. "As you know, in two months, the Genin Entrance Exam will be coming up. Beginning tomorrow, we will be teaching you techniques that I expect to see. If you cannot perform them, and have a valid excuse, then I will permit that part of the exam to slide. This is the one time I am doing this, and it's more for Lee's benefit than anything. Lee, are you prepared to work hard to become a Genin?"

Naruto covered his ears, and just in time too. "YOSH! I WILL BECOME A FINE GENIN SO I MAY BE CALLED A GENIUS OF HARD WORK!"

And, he did. Lee worked harder than anyone, pushing himself to limits the body can't help. In that time, Maito Gai had seen the boy working, and had decided that he would take the student as his apprentice. He was seen by Gai, or Gai-sensei as Lee had taken to calling him, as a hard worker who believed in 'the power of youth' which Lee came shouting about one day.

Naruto smiled as he saw his hard-working youthful friend working so hard one day after class. When he passed out from exhaustion, Naruto heard him saying something like, "if I can't do that, I'll run around Konoha seven times on my hands!"

He never dared as about that

Of course, that didn't mean that Naruto himself slacked any. When he told Kyuubi about the Genin Exams that were coming up, the Kitsune smiled, and said, good, look at your fighting style scroll and learn the final technique. You've got the rest of it down.

Naruto looked at the paper, and it was a move called the "Sekagefu". It was a move that made pure chakra into acave that was controlled by the intent of the user. It was the final move in the Za Gamen Style, other than the Rasengan, that he could master. Naruto studied the move, it was, like the others, one that did not need hand seals, but physical conditioning.

Which, he was proud to say, was the best he could achieve. What he had to do was release his chakra from the tenketsu in his body, and then release it out from him. It would form a solid ball, if done correctly, that wouldn't let anything pass, unless it was a pure chakra base like the Rasengan. It was said, though never proven, that the Shadow Tomb could block the Chidori and its counterpart the Raikiri, but no one in the style wanted to try.

It was considered an S-rank move, and the ultimate defense of the style. Much like the Kaiten of the Jyuuken, it was impossible to pass, and when used correctly, could be used as chakra control practice. When he wasn't in school, Naruto practiced the Sekagefu, and was making slow progress.

As only a pure chakra could pass through it, Naruto figured if used in conjunction with a chakra based move, then it would be so powerful that anything hit by it would naturally be disposed of.

So, he sat on the roof of the academy a week before the genin exam, awaiting the arrival of the only person that could help him, Neji.

"Naruto, what are you doing up there?" Neji asked, as Naruto waited. Naruto looked at his caged brethren and smiled. "Neji-san! Can I ask you something?"

Neji nodded. "Ano, when you learned the Jyuuken, you learned of a move called the Kaiten, right?"

Neji again nodded. Naruto smiled. "Well, I was wondering if you knew it."

"Naruto-baka, of course I know it, I have to know it to protect main house members!"

"Sorry, Neji. Okay, how hard is it to learn to release Chakra from each tenketsu at once? I'm learning a move called the Sekagefu, and it's basically a shield of chakra."

"Well, if you're really interested, come by and ask Hiashi-sama for help."

"Alright, thanks Neji."

Neji smiled, his friends attitude had cleared up the day for him.

"NARUTO, ARE YOU READY FOR OUR WALK THROUGH LIFE WITH THE POWER OF YOUTH! YOSH!"

Naruto sighed, Lee was running on his hands with a really green guy behind him. "YES, LEE! LET US SPREAD OUR WORD, THE POWER OF YOUTH, THROUGH KONOHAGAKURE! TOGETHER WE SHALL REJOICE WHEN IT IS ACCEPTED AS WELL AS THE ZA GAMEN WILL BE! I SHALL ENDEAVOR TO LEARN THIS NEW STYLE! IF I CANNOT, I WILL RUN SEVENTY TIMES AROUND KONOHA ON MY HANDS! YOSH! POWER OF YOUTH!"

So that's Gai, and he's your guest speaker today. Well, I feel for you brat. On second thought.... haha! Baka!

Naruto sighed, a sweatdrop on the back of his head. He was last in the room today. Neji was glaring at Gai already, he had apparently brought enough of the green suits for everyone and was currently forcing the spandex over Neji's head.

Naruto, for some reason, swore he was going to break out in song, "I'm not wearing underwear today" or something idiotic like that.

"Ah, another traveler on the path of youth! Lee, another suit, please!"

Lee nodded, and ran to Naruto. Naruto sighed. "Lee, please get that horrendous green out of my face."

Lee sighed. He had forgotten that green was Naruto's least favorite color. "I've already gotten weighted clothing, of a better color."

Gai smirked. "AH! COMPETITION ON THE TRAIL OF THE POWER OF YOUTH! TELL ME, WHAT COLOR YOU ARE WEARING!"

A respectable color... red!

Naruto went with the safe way, "red, Gai-sensei."

The others in the class nodded. "And how much do you have in weights?"

Naruto sighed, he had just increased the weight last night. He looked at Iruka, who was curious. Naruto swore, it was unraveling, the year of doing his least, because of some idiot.

"Sarutobi-sensei asked me not to tell anyone. I have a special condition that makes me use constant chakra, and wearing weights and enforcing it with chakra is one way to increase my stamina.

Gai-sensei."

Gai looked at Naruto and nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama would ask you not to reveal too much. Your power of youth is astounding!"

Neji, who wore weighted clothing, saved Naruto by saying, "so, I bet lots of people wear weighted clothing. It's essential in teh Jyuuken style."

The bell rang. Gai turned and punched Lee. Lee stood and said, "Gai-sensei, I shall endeavor to be in my seat on time!"

Gai nodded. Naruto sighed. Neji groaned.

"Class, Gai-sama is here to introduce you to taijutsu today. Gai-sama is a master at ten different taijutsu styles and, has readily agreed to take on a class this year. So, just think, he may just be your teacher in a few weeks."

Except for Lee, and a sarcastic remark from Kyuubi, the class groaned. Gai looked a bit upset, mumbling something about "hip, new age insults really works my nerves!"

"YOSH! THE YOUTH IN THIS ROOM IS POWERFUL! I AM MAITO GAI! YOSH!"

A sweatdrop appeared on Naruto's and, incidentally Kyuubi's heads.

"Alright glorious travelers in the ways of Youth! Taijutsu is the most basic component a shinobi can have. From the time that you're born, it's ingrained to become a shinobi. And, the best way to do that, is through hard work. 'YOSH, I AM A GENIUS OF HARD WORK, GAI-SENSEI!'

"There are currently seventeen used taijutsu styles, some family styles that can't be learned without a certain bloodline, and its limit. Then, there are others that are used by other shinobi. Two examples would be the Jyuuken, and the Green Beast style, that I created.

There are long lost styles, too, that are only used by certain people, and can't be taught. But, we'll get back to those. Stand to your feet!"

Neji, who had the Jyuuken style, already had a taijutsu style that he was working on. "Neji! I wish to fight you!"

Neji walked up to the front of the class, nervous because this was a jounin level ninja. "Neji has the Jyuuken style, arguably the best style in the village. It's most famous moves, the Kaiten, and the 64 point strike technique, are among the most highly sought after in the entire village and Fire Country.

"Neji, use a forward strike on me!"

Neji did that, and barely tapped Gai on the shoulder. Lee, seeing this, thought that Neji was mocking the 'great Gai-sensei' and exclaimed as much.

"Shut up Lee!" the man yelled as Lee did just that. "The same technique I used here," and he showed a fast punch, "holds exactly the same power that the palm strike did that Neji showed you.

The other styles, such as Kage-Konoha style, are all simply games to the true shinobi. But, as Genin, is what you have to learn, unless you defeat me in a fight with your own style.

Now, come with me, and I'll begin you on your road to Youth!"

'Aw, thank Yami-sama, the bell rang.' Naruto thought to Kyuubi. The demon fox snarled at the "green beast" and said, You should have let me eat him brat.

For the next three weeks, the students, including Neji, and Naruto, though they didn't actually practice them, were tutored in the use of Kage-Konoha style taijutsu, as well as learning the jutsu's for passing the examination.

Finally, the day arrived. Across all of Konoha, parents came too see the graduation of the genin. From each different family, representatives poured in waiting to see which would graduate today, and who wouldn't. Hyuuga Hiashi, and Sarutobi-sensei were in attendance, for both Neji and, in the Hokage's choice, Naruto.

Other representatives from different clans, including the Inuzuka, and Aburame, were also there. Tenten's father, a weapons store owner, sat in silent support for the girl, and Gai-sensei stood in attendance for Lee.

Iruka smiled at the students in the classroom. As was tradition, they started all the tests, dealing in precision hits and taijutsu, outdoors, the Ninjutsu were held indoors, as to not give anyone other than the Chuunin examiners the chance to see where the weaknesses lay for any given student.

So far, Neji and Tenten, the Inuzuka, and Shino had passed each level. Naruto had also passed, his taijutsu still a secret, he had to rely on the Kage-Konoha style.

Lee, surprisingly, got the highest score in precision, and in taijutsu. He smiled at Naruto, and gave him a 'good guy' pose.

Then, it happened. They were lead into a classroom, and one at a time, lead towards the ninjutsu test.

Lee, obviously, failed that test, and came out, still a smile and a hitai-ate on his head.

Neji did great, and too passed doing everything correctly, assuring his place at the top of his class.'

Tenten, with a smirk on her face, left the room with a smile so bright that it lit many a faces up in the afterglow.

Shino failed, he had just gotten his kikai bugs yesterday and they were busy acquainting themselves with his chakra. He just shrugged like he understood, and walked out, minus a hitai-ate.

Kimourii too came out with the hitai-ate and smirked at the rest of the room, as if superior. Having come in second in the class, it was almost assured that she'd have become a genin.

Inuzuka Nushi won over the crowd easily, as she came out and displayed her hitai-ate, and then looked at Neji. The boy sighed, she had a crush on him, and was considered a fan-girl. Naruto shuddered, feeling sorry for Neji was becoming a full time job.

"Uzumaki Naruto!" Iruka called, leading Naruto away. Naruto looked at Lee, stuck in his 'good guy' pose and yelling, "allow the power of youth to run in you, Naruto-kun!"

He sighed. Walking into the room, Iruka, and Mizuki both looked at him. "Naruto, due to special circumstances, we understand you're inability to mold small chakra. However, in order to pass our examination, you must perform a high level jutsu, and score above a 72%"

Naurto nodded. He swiftly rolled though his arsenal, and came up with only one solution that was almost guaranteed to pass him.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he yelled. The two looked gob smacked as literally a thousand Naruto's filled the room.

Naruto smirked. "Orioke no Jutsu, Harem version!"

Suddenly, the Kage Bunshin all turned to a stunningly beautiful woman. She was naked, but covered with a well placed mist. Naurto then, before they could fail him for a stupid move said, "Za Gamen: Shadoashige Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Using the harem, Naruto used a thousand well placed kicks, and knocked the two out for just a second. Iruka got up, as the rest of the harem disappeared. He looked at Naruto, and remembered the last jutsu, a taijutsu move from the Za Gamen, and smiled. "Mizuki, unless you have a problem, then he passes."

Mizuki laughed. He walked towards Naruto, punched him across the face, and handed him a hitai-ate.

"Great job Naruto, using the male's biggest weakness against them, that was ingenious. How did you learn the Za Gamen style though?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head. Mizuki smiled. "Good job Naruto."

He walked out the room, and the Neji, along with Lee, ran over congratulating him. Iruka came out, soon after Naruto, announcing that the exam was over.

Cheers erupted as the six students were announced, many parents leaving the class, and others staying behind. Hyuuga Hiashi, and Inuzuka-sama, was walking towards the children with a grin, and the Hokage went for Naruto, hugging him.

"Thank you for coming today, and allow me to introduce you to the newest recruits of the Genin. Neji, Tenten and Lee, you've been chosen as the new Team 6, and will report to Gai tomorrow. Nushi, Kimourii, and Naruto, you're the new team 5, and will report to Shiranui Genma tomorrow.

You have the rest of the day to get ready, and practice your taijutsu. Each of you will be started a genin account, and pay equivalent to five D-rank and two C-rank missions will be placed in them. This is your expense account governed by the Hokage, and will be repayed as soon as the equivalent funds are acquired.

It can be used to buy anything you think a shinobi will need, but can only be used on equipment.

Hokage-sama?"

"First, allow me to step out of character and congratulate everyone here. Passing the Genin Examination is the first step in becoming a true shinobi. The accounts that were opened for you are experimental, but is there for your use whenever you need it.

The life of a shinobi is cruel, you're expected many things, and they are hard to acquire, You will do missions that test your resolve, and do things in the name of the Shinobi that will require you to make life or death decisions. That is what the Jounin you've been assigned too will teach you.

Respect yourselves, and respect Konoha. I will expect to see you all in the future, and look forward to how everything turns out."

"YOSH! HOKAGE-SAMA, IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO HEAR YOUR YOUTHFUL SPIRIT, EVEN IN THE OLD AGE YOU HAVE ACQUIRED! I WILL VENTURE TO BE LIKE YOU, HOKAGE-SAMA! LET THE POWER OF YOUTH PREVAIL!"

"Lee!"

"YES NEJI!"

"SHUT UP!" Neji and Kyuubi both yelled, Kyuubi in Naruto's head, and Neji out loud.

As the crowd disbursed, Naruto walked over to Kimourii and Nushi, and smiled. Kimourii smiled at the ninja, and Nushi just merely nodded. "So, do you want to get something to eat, Naruto-san?"

Naruto nodded and the three left, to better acquaint themselves with each other.

Sarutobi smiled as he watched Naruto. He did as he said, and opened the account for each student, save Naruto and Neji. Naruto's clan was a rich one, and the funds still resided in the accounts that the banks covered. Neji's clan also contributed to his personal account, a larger amount than he had specified, but Hiashi was like that. He cared for Neji, his nephew, and had asked that the seal be removed, but it wasn't.

Brat, I think it's time to talk. You did good, only messing up once this entire year. That was a great job, and now I will prove it to you. I hereby grant you access to three-fourths of a tail. You will need to integrate this chakra with yours. Once that is finished, you will be able to use small and large amounts of chakra. Remember to also suppress your chakra with Za Gamen.

However, it is also time to learn something about your bloodline limit. The Za Gamen was created by your great grandfather, over three hundred years ago. He had a bloodline limit that allowed him to see during the Shunshin no Jutsu. It is a doujutsu, as is most bloodline limits, but has no other special purpose that we know, it won't copy jutsu, or let you see tenketsu.

To activate it, you need to use chakra on your eyes. Your bloodline was called "Speed Sight" mokushioku. When you activate this, the speed around you will drastically fall. However, doujutsu have always been bothersome, in the fact that they drain chakra. So, you will use this as a chakra exercise, and learn your jutsu correctly. Also, used it in conjunction with the Shunshin no jutsu, it makes you faster than anyone in Konoha, and possibly other areas..

For now, though, sleep."

He woke the next day, and made his way towards the academy classroom where he was to meet Genma-sensei. The others in the class were already there, discussing something. Neji turned to Naruto, and smiled. "Hey Naruto! We've decided to skip this years Chuunin Exam, and take it next year with the new rookies. What say you?"

Naruto shrugged. 'Don't matter, Neji. We can wait a year, and do the exam next year if that's what you want."

Kimourii nodded. "Yeah, that's a good idea, Naruto. It will give us experience, and a chance to enhance our skills, you especially dobe."

"Ok guys, I hear Gai coming down the hall already. Neji, you train. Next time we fight, I want to fight you, my friend. You too Lee. Tenten, you take care of them, and yourself. I'll enjoy facing your weapons any day."

"You too Naruto/Naruto-kun!"

"AH MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS IN THE WAYS OF POWER! IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY! THE OTHER TEAM IS HERE AS WELL! VERY WELL THEN, YOU SHALL ENDEAVOR TO FOLLOW MY TEAMS EXAMPLES IN THE POWER OF YOUTH! HAHAHAH!"

"Gai, leave my kids alone. Ah, Nushi, Kimourii, Naruto, I'm Genma. It's good to finally meet you. Well, come to Training Ground 7. I'll meet you there."

Naruto looked at Neji, Lee and Tenten, smiled, and ran off, the others following behind.

They arrived ten minutes later at training ground seven, having to stop and ask from directions. The weird copy-cat ninja, who was reading Icha Icha Paradise as he walked down the road, looked up and pointed towards a field. They ran that way, and found a grassy plain with trees surrounding them. Three posts were in the middle of the training ground and, the students noticed, Genma had a grin.

"Alright, you badasses, it's time to get to work. We'll have time for introductions if you pass my test. Your test is to place a hit on me. The first two that do so will be full-time genin, the one that doesn't gets sent back to the Academy for a refresher course."

Naruto looked at his team and noticed their feral looks. With them looking at like he was a hindrance, Naruto got a bad feeling.

"Alright, you have until sun-up tomorrow. If you can't do it, tell me now."

Nushi glared at him, and placed her dog, named Sutermaru, on the ground. Kimourii was looking at him with something akin to regret, as if she knew he was going to be sent back. Naruto sighed.

As the two kunoichi took off, Naruto couldn't help but shake the feeling that something was off.

As he took off for Genma-sensei, Kyuubi's tracking skill coming in handy as he used Chakra to keep silent, Naruto got the strangest feeling.

It was, however, Nushi, that figured it out.

As they went on, Sutermaru kept yipping about something in the air not right. She didn't realize until later that it could possibly be Genma. But when she did, Naruto found out, she put it all together.

"The objective isn't to compete against each other, it's to work as a team. What say you, Kimourii, Naruto? Together?"

Naruto "yeahha"'d and Kimourii nodded. Using an intricate plan of "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" and the "Henge no Jutsu" Naruto, Kimourii and Nushi, made it seem that they were working in three different directions. Then, they had Sutermaru sneak up and steal the bells. After the two bells were safely in the hands of the two kunoichi, they walked out. Naruto, with a smug look, and the other two with dread.

"Alright, so you've got the bells, but you didn't use teamwork." Genma said, "You all fail!"

Naruto grinned foxily, then pointed behind him. The three shadow clones disappeared, and, they smirked as Genma turned around.

"Very good, so you all added a bit to the team. I'm guessing the plan itself was yours Kimourii, and you did the Shadow Clones and Henge, Naruto? So, then, Sutermaru must have been the true bell-taker, giving them to you. But, what about the fact that the person without a bell going back?"

"Well, Genma-sensei" surprisingly Naruto answered, "teams are made up of three men, or in this case two kunoichi and a male, followed by the jounin sensei. We figured, if it were the case, that we would all be sent back to the academy, if no one got the bells, and pass if they were taken. It was a risk I was willing to take for my team."

The man nodded, they got the point.

"Fine, you pass. Tell me about yourselves, likes and dislikes, goals, dreams? You first, Kimourii."

"Alright, I'm Riyousha Kimourii. I am trained in taijutsu, and above average in ninjutsu. I can't do Genjutsu because of a bloodline limit that causes any genjutsu I'm in to fail instantly. I like fighting, and a certain person. My dislikes are snot-nosed brats that think they're better than everyone because they have a bloodline limit. My goal is to make a certain person notice me, and I aspire to become the strongest kunoichi since Tsunade-Sannin.

Genma nodded. "Those are very good goals, and this person that you like, you know in the world of ninja, it's almost impossible to be sure of someone until you've talked with them."

She nodded.

"Alright, you Nushi."

Nushi smirked as she stood up, Sutermaru looking at his owner, and friend with a loving gaze.

'I'm Inuzuka Nushi, and am the only daughter of the clan. I'm trained in the aspects of a housewife, but don't just aspire to be one. I like fighting, and my pal Sutermaru here. I dislike cats, they make me and Sutermaru mad, and like hairballs to much. My biggest goal is to become the best dog trainer in my clan, and I aspire to be as strong as Tsunade-Sannin also."

"All great goals as well, Nushi. You aspire to be treated as your own person, but see that as having to act like a male. It's a tangled web you follow, but I hope for the best for you.

Naruto?"

"Yata! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I like Ramen! I hate the three minutes it takes for Ramen to cook too. I also like Sarutobi-sensei, and my personal taijutsu style. I dislike the people of Konoha, who hate me for having the birth date of the Yondaime.

My goal is to become the strongest shinobi in the world, and I aspire to become the Hokage, so that I can help people.

What about you, Genma-sensei?"

Genma sighed. "I'm Shiranui Genma, a Jounin level Shinobi of Konoha. I like many things, the first of which is chewing of things, and when I'm not doing that, I'm bored. I dislike being bored, and I dislike training as much as being bored. My best friend is Hatake Kakashi, the Copy-cat ninja, and I know about seven hundred jutsu's.

In all honesty, the others didn't think there were enough graduates these years to warrant two teams, Until Naruto passed, a feat that surprised the sensei of the academy, you two would have been on a team alone or have to wait till the next class graduated. Also, it's good to meet each of you. We will beginning training tomorrow at 7:00, bright and early. Missions will come exactly three weeks after your first day of training, and you'll start out with easy D-rank missions. Naruto, as I've heard of your advanced training from the Hokage, you will need to continue constant chakra release from your tenketsu.

Kimourii and Nushi, you will be learning the chakra building exercises, Naruto's condition caused him to learn chakra control at an early age. I'll be teaching you all a taijutsu style that suit's your individual needs.

Now, are you all ready, if so you'll need a weighted suit and about seven hundred pounds of weights a piece. Come with the first sixty in your suit, and work your way up adding five at the beginning of every week.

"Also, Tenten's father has a shop of weaponry located in Konoha. You'll need three sets of shuriken with a set of exploding tags. You'll need three jutsu scrolls a piece of different jutsu's. Also, if you have a bloodline limit, tell me, so I can adapt your training to such. And, yes, Nushi, I consider having a dog-familiar a bloodline limit trait as it gives you part of the dog's aspects.

You'll need two set of kunai, and a tent for survival training. Then, anything you think you'll need, and don't worry, you'll have plenty of missions that will more than make up your part of the bill.

Have you decided on the Chuunin Exams?"

"Direct, eh Sensei?" Nushi asked. He nodded. "Yes, Team 'Gai' and we decided to wait until the next exam after our first year as Genin. We want to gain experience in fighting, and not just do it because we're cocky."

"Good, alright, then I'll see you tomorrow. Remember, get anything that you'll think you need, but at least three different jutsu scrolls. And, see me before training tomorrow about bloodline limits. You have the rest of the day off."

Naruto smiled at his friends and said, "alright, ladies, I'll be off now. I hope we can have a close relationship in the future. It is nice to be on your team."

Kimourii watched Naruto go, and smiled at his retreating back. "He's odd, isn't he?"

Nushi could only nod.

Naruto appeared at the shop as Tenten stepped out. She smiled at Naruto, and walked off, leaving the boy a little confused. He'd never seen Tenten do that before, it was really irregular.

He walked in, and the man behind the counter smiled. "Welcome to 'A Ninja's Stash', what can I do for you, youngster?"

"Hello sir, I've been instructed to buy three sets of shuriken, two sets of exploding tags, a set of kunai, a body suit and seven hundred pound weights, sixty initial weights in the suit itself, along with three jutsu scrolls. My team should be coming any minute, so can I wait on the scrolls until they come?"

The man nodded and, just as Naruto guessed, the two kunoichi came in. "Your team?"

Naruto nodded. "Welcome to 'The Ninja Stash'. Are you here for the same as this young man?"

The kunoichi nodded and smiled at the man. "Alright, you have it. These are my scroll selection, containing various ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu scrolls.

Have a look."

"Well, Genma-sensei said different scrolls, so let's assume that he wants us learning at the same rate and same jutsu. So, my bloodline limit is called "Speed Sight", mokushioku. It's activated by directing chakra to my eyes."

They looked at Naruto and giggled. He sighed. "Mine" Kimourii said, "is called Gententou" or the Genjutsu Counter eye.

"Well, unlike what Genma-sensei says, I don't have an actual bloodline limit. I just have an affinity for Sutermaru, and can use dog senses."

Naruto nodded and, as the others were talking about a kid named "Uchiha Sasuke" being a genius, Naruto found the first of his scrolls.

It was a Ninjutsu type, named, "Fresh Fire Cannon" Katon: Dekitate houkakyanon no jutsu. It created a large, circular fireball from the breath in the mouth, and propelled towards the target at a speed faster than normal humans can see.

In order to do the jutsu, you had to have good control and a lot of excess Chakra. Kyuubi chuckled at that saying excess, like nine tails worth of three times as much chakra as the Hokage has each?

He showed them to Kimourii and Nushi, they agreed that it was a good one.

Kimourii found one that protected the users from a genjutsu, called the Genjutsu Barrier. It could only be used by someone that was a genjutsu master, or in Kimourii's case had an advanced bloodline. It was the Bariagen no Jutsu.

After Nushi found hers, it was called the Water-Familiar Clone. It created a water clone of your familiar, no matter what it was, or where it was. Naruto nodded, thinking it was a great one. Suiton: Mizu-tedzika no Jutsu.

Soon after, the girls went off, saying that they were getting scrolls more suited to Kunoichi, and that he'd better wait to see them later. They paid for their things, and left. Nauto looked through the rest of the scrolls picking five more. The first two were the ones he was going to share, the others required a lot of chakra, and he'd use them for building purposes.

The first was the a Chakra element move, called the Chakra Shield and it used the same idea as the Kaiten, and Water Rolling exercises, except taking them to another level.

The next was a Water Jutsu, the Water Dragon Blast used by a A-class nuke-nin Zabuza Momochi.

The others were called "Concentration Jutsu" that Kyuubi had first used when he learned about jutsu, and hand seals.

The first was a move called Air Walking. It consisted of using Chakra to force a person into the air, while keeping a connection with the ground, giving the effect of walking on air.

The next was another move called, "Chakra Bubble" that consisted of using Chakra as an air pocket underwater. It was an assassination move that raised chakra and stamina.

The last was called the Summoning Technique, Kuchiyose no Jutsu, and required a blood contract with a summon animal.

Naruto could only grin.

YES!
