Chapter 9 - Trainning Time LvL 2: Mokuton?!

After arriving home, Naruto told his mother everything that happened on his first day of school, his new friends, his instructor, and the Pink Banshee. Kushina could only smile while Naruto told him about Sasuke, Hinata, and the others, but when he heard about Ino-chan and the pink fight, he threw himself on the floor while laughing.

"Hahaha! I'm sorry ~ I'm sorry ~!" - Kushina said while wiping away tears from laughing so much - "I knew something like this would happen but I never thought it would be so fast ~"

"Hmph ~! I'd better train so don't wait for me, Kaasan!" - Naruto replied with a clear annoyance.

"Ara ~ Naru-chan got angry ~" -the redhead thought as she watched her son leave - "I guess he'll be upset for at least 2 days"

The next day at the Academy, Naruto entered the classroom while greeting his new friends and to his surprise, Hinata was the first to speak to him.

"G-Go-Good m-m-morning N-Naruto-kun ~!" - Hyuga blushed as she tried not to pass out.

"Good morning Hinata-chan!" - replied the redhead with a patented Uzumaki smile that gave a critical hit to poor Hinata.

"Are ~? Hinata-chan? HINATA-CHAN ?! - Naruto approached the girl and could tell that the pearl eyes had fainted standing.

"Hey Fox, you have to be more aware" - Shikamaru said sideways - "Look how you left Hinata, her HP is at 0 .."

"Ugh! When I saw that she greeted me, I thought she would be a little more comfortable talking ..." - Naruto sighed as he watched Hinata.

"Stupid problematic muscle head ..." - Nara was heard muttering.

"Okay! I'm sorry! "- shouted the Uzumaki knowing he had screwed up - "Where is the Teme, the Banshee and Ino-chan? "

"Sasuke has issues with his clan. After the massacre, there are many things to do, so he was given a permit to arrive a little later" - Kiba said - "Sakura is probably chasing Sasuke ... * Sigh * I feel that she would be a good Anbu if she trained more, and Ino, I'm not sure"

"Naaaaruuu-kuuuuuuun~" - shouted a blond flash that had entered through the door at full speed and was now hugging Naruto.

"Ino-chan ?! Why do you get so…? Wait! Don't my ears! Don't play with my ears!" - The redhead was scared because Ino had put his hands on the ears of the young fox.

His expression began to distort because you could tell he was trying to prevent something, but ... he didn't succeed ...

"Awwwwwwwwwww ~!" - Uzumaki howled while trembling with a red face.

Seeing how everyone watched him, Naruto could only run out of the room. Ino tried to stop him, but Kiba stopped her - "You know? For some animals, their ears are their most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e point, to the point of giving them a strong stimulus ..."

Being an Inuzuka, Kiba had a strong animal instinct and knowledge about wild creatures. Not knowing about the dangers of nature can cause the death not only of a member of the pack but a total annihilation, and as his dream of being the strongest Alpha in the entire history of his clan, he would not allow the unnecessary loss of His pack

Ino realized what she did when she heard Kiba's words, she knew that she had made a mistake and that she had to remedy it. Seeing that he no longer stopped her, she quickly left the room and headed for Naruto but to her surprise, she was not alone. She was none other than Hinata, who had woken up when she heard Naruto's howl and when she saw him running out of the classroom, she decided to go after him.

Ino looked at the blue-haired and asked - "Alliance?"

Hinata answered without stuttering - "Alliance"

The Hyuga was taking its first steps to reduce its shyness. She knew that she could not change her personality so quickly but at least she would have the ability to talk with other people and look forward, maybe even be able to express that little feeling that slowly began to be born from her c.h.e.s.t.

* * * * * *

Naruto was running through training camps with a red face in shame.

"* Sigh ~ * Now how am I going to face my friends..." - Naruto didn't know what to do right now. He was running aimlessly until he collided with someone. He was a man with brown hair, his other features could not be identified because he was wearing an Anbu mask.

"Be more careful child ..." - Said the man in a monotonous voice as he moved him with the help of a tree.

Naruto opened his eyes in surprise, he couldn't believe his luck.

When he saw that the man was leaving, he yelled at him to stop him - "Wait! I have to ask you for a favor!"

The man kept walking as if he hadn't heard the redhead. When Naruto saw this, he ran after him, he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't have it again in a good time.

"I CAN USE MOKUTON TOO!" - shouted Naruto, thinking that with that the man would hear him, and apparently it worked. The man stopped in his tracks and looked at him with emotionless eyes - "How do you know I can use Mokuton, kid..."

"Because I could feel how you communicated with the tree with your chakra!" - replied the boy.

"What do you want, child?" - asked the Anbu.

"I want you to train me!" - said the redhead with a serious look.

"Sorry kid but I can't help you" - Anbu denied him without even thinking about it - "If you want help, then ..."

"I know you will tell me to ask the Hokage to help me when I finish my training at the academy, but by that time I will likely be concentrating on the missions or something else" - Naruto said while leaning - "I know that I'm asking too much when we're strangers, but please ... I just ask that if I ask the Hokage and he approves it, you'll be able to train me even if it's just a little! "

The two were silent for 10 minutes until finally, Anbu opened his mouth.

"Ok kid, my name is Yamato and I will train you if the Hokage approves it ..." - Said the man before disappearing.

Naruto was happy, now he just had to convince the Sandaime to let Yamato train him and ask if there was any scroll left by Hashirama Senju that might help him with the training.

The redhead ran as fast as he could to the Hokage's office and when he arrived he asked the secretary if she could tell the Sandaime that he was looking for him.

"You Can Enter" - The voice was heard from the office.

Without wasting time Naruto entered and met Hiruzen who was using Kage Bunshin to help him with paperwork. Noticing Naruto's entrance, the Sandaime looked at him and bluntly asked with a somewhat tired smile - "Naruto, son, what do you need?"

"Hokage Jiji I have to tell you something but I need it to be just the two of us ..." - the redhead replied as he gave a smile to his grandfather in all but blood.

Hiruzen thought for a few seconds and gave the signal for all his Anbus to retire - "Tell me what you need"

"Jiji, what I want is for one of your Anbus named Yamato to train me in Mokuton" - replied the redhead.

Hiruzen stayed smiling for a few seconds while processing what Naruto said and after about a minute, jumped out of his chair - "M-M-MOKUTON ?!"

Naruto had prepared himself and already had his ears covered because he knew how Hiruzen would react.

Flashback

We can see a 6-year-old Naruto returning from training his chakra control. He was currently walking to his mother because he wanted to talk about something important.

"What do you want my little boy?" - Kushina said smiling.

"Look Kaasan! - Naruto replied as he made a young tree appear out of nowhere.

"M-M-MOKUTON ?! - Kushina shouted so loudly that Naruto fell to the ground covering his ears because of the loud sound - "I-I'm sorry Naru-chan, it's just that you surprised me"

"D-Don't w-worry, Kaasan ..." - answered the young fox as he rose with pain in his ears.

Fin del Flashback

Hiruzen felt sorry for how he took the news - "Naruto ... how can you use Mokuton?"

Naruto just shrugged.

Hiruzen just muttered a few things while thinking for a few minutes - "Very well Naruto, I will tell Yamato to train you. Come tomorrow to give you the scroll of the Shodaime Hashirama Senju, but remember, you can't tell anyone that you can use Mokuton, at least until you finish the Academy "

Naruto nodded smiling before saying goodbye to the Hokage. His goal had been met and he no longer cared about what happened at the Academy.

When he returned home, he saw that two girls were waiting for him, one blonde with emerald eyes and another blue-haired one with pearl-white eyes.

"Naru-kun... I'm sorry" - Ino said sadly. They have been looking for Naruto since leaving the Academy and not finding him, he thought Naruto was avoiding her for what he did.

The redhead when he saw how the blonde was, did not have the conscience of being angry with her so he hugged her and said - "Calm down Ino-chan, I'm not angry, it's just that I was talking to someone and time went by quickly"

Ino started crying when she heard Naruto - "Bua ~ * Snif * Naru-kun ~ * Snif * I'm sorry ~ * Snif * I'm sorry ~"

Hinata could only see Ino with envy, but then she realized that Naruto was watching her as she hugged Ino.

"I'm sorry Hinata-chan, I'm sorry I worried you too ..." - Uzumaki said as he looked at the Hyuga.

Hinata blushed when she heard how he was treating her but this time she did not faint, but approached and took his hand - "D-Do not worry Naruto-kun, but I am sure that Iruka sensei will be furious to see that none of us is in class..."

"Don't worry Hinata-chan" - the redhead smiled - "When we get to class tomorrow, I'll talk to Iruka Sensei, after all, it's my fault that you weren't in class"

"Ara ~ Naru-chan ~? Now there are two ~?" - Kushina upon arriving home was surprised how her son was hugging a blonde girl while another had him holding her hand.

Naruto upon hearing the voice, his face turned red. He only separated from the girls with grief as they had a somewhat annoyed look at how everything had ended so suddenly, or at least it was until they heard the redhead speak - "K-Kaasan ?!"

"Kaasan ?!" - The two girls thought at the same time while they saw the beautiful woman with red hair.

Kushina looked closely at the two girls and immediately knew who her parents were - "The daughters of Inoichi and Hiashi, you work fast Naru-chan ~"

Naruto was as red as his mother's hair. He just wanted to run away but he couldn't leave the 3 women alone because he knew his mother would tell them all kinds of embarrassing stories.

"Nice to meet you, Kaasan!" - The two girls said at the same time while Naruto had his jaw on the floor and Kushina laughed when she saw his expression.

"Nice to meet you, Ino-chan, Hinata-chan, Naru-chan has talked a lot about you two" - Kushina said in a joking voice while watching the expression of the 3 youngsters, who synchronized and blushed at the same time.

"K-Kaasan, I think it's time for them to leave ..." - Naruto said as he tried to end his shame - "The three of us leave school without permission so their parents have to be worried"

"Ara ~? And why did you leave class without permission, Naru-chan?" - Kushina asked while she had a slight smile.

Naruto seeing her knew that he was in serious trouble because that was the same expression she gave when he caused the Mini-Tsunami.

"W-Well ... K-Kaasan ... you know ..." - Young Uzumaki didn't know what excuse to give.

"Naru-chan, take Ino-chan and Hinata-chan to their homes but come back quickly because a little punishment awaits you ~ WAS IT CLEAR~?" - She said in a cheerful voice.

"HAI !!!" - Naruto shouted as he took the two girls by the hand and ran.

First, he went to the Yamanaka Florist and here Inoichi almost attacked him but luckily, he was stopped by his wife. Ino said goodbye quickly to Naruto and went to talk to his mother about what had happened during the day.

Losing sight of the store, Naruto could hear Inoichi's distressed cry and thought - "Inoichi life counter ... 9 minus 3 ..."

Then he went to the Hyuga residential area where the guards only nodded while he left Hinata and because of their eyes, Naruto could feel that they had no respect for the blue-haired.

Hinata explained how it is that because of her shyness and kindness, she is constantly told that she is not fit to be a ninja and how she had tried everything to gain her family's recognition.

"If you need help with anything, you can come to me" - Naruto said seriously - "I know it's hard, but you have to keep fighting, I know you can do it, I'm sure of that"

"..." - Hinata was silent when she heard the boy's encouraging words. It was the first time anyone had confidence in her.

Hinata could only cry from happiness while giving the boy a little hug - "Thank you .... thanks for believing in me ..."

Naruto just hugged her back as he tried to calm her down.

The guards did not even pay attention to them because according to them, the poor girl was not worth it.

"I promise I won't fail" - Hinata said with conviction - "And when I'm strong enough ... I ..."

The girl could not continue her words. She just looked at the boy firmly - "See you tomorrow, Naruto-kun"

The redhead was a bit confused so he decided to leave the details aside. The only thing that mattered now was that the girl had found her motivation.

Upon returning home, Naruto explained everything to Kushina from the incident with his ears to his conversation with Hiruzen, but despite everything, nothing could reduce his hellish punishment.

* * * * * * * * * *

The next morning, Naruto headed to Hiruzen to pick up the scroll and after greeting the Hokage, asked if he could send a Kage Bunshin to the Academy while he trained Mokuton with Yamato.

Hiruzen accepted the proposal but told him that he had to be present in the tests to which he accepted immediately.

After a few minutes, Yamato appeared but this time without a mask. Naruto was surprised to see his eyes, his pupils were so large and black that they seemed to be completely dilated.

"Yamato, Naruto told me that if I gave him permission, you would train him" - said Hiruzen.

Yamato nodded but without changing his expression.

"Very well Yamato, as Hokage ordered you to train Naruto" - said the Sandaime - "I already handed him the scroll of our Shodaime but it is better to learn from someone with experience while reading it"

"Follow me ..." - Anbu nodded when he saw the boy's firm expression.

When they arrived at training camp number 12, Naruto made a Kage Bunshin send him to the Academy and concentrate completely on Mokuton.

"Let's start with something theoretical ... Mokuton is ..." - Yamato began to explain the Mokuton while Naruto absorbed the information like a sponge.

* * * * * * *

From that day Naruto got up at 5 a.m. to do physical training while absorbing the Mokuton chakra to temper your body, making it stronger and increasing its regenerative factor. After lunch, he went to the training camp to meet Yamato and learn some Jutsus, and then read Hashirama's parchment. In the afternoon he met with Hinata and Ino, to help them train. And after dinner, he started training Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, and Fuinjutsu so as not to lose the practice and get rusty.

So 2 years passed and Naruto now a 10-year-old. He had the physique of a 13-year-old adolescent boy and his face began to look more mature but still retained his childhood features.

Today there was a test, so as he promised Hiruzen Jiji, he was going to the Academy.

As he walked he heard a couple of steps approaching him and through the aura, he knew who they were. Turning, he saw Ino and Hinata running in his direction.

With all the time they spent training together, the two girls had become good friends.

Naruto was happy to see them since lately because of his training, he had been in the forest of death all the time.

In these two years, Anko had been only a few days at home and to her bad luck, Naruto was always out in training. She could only cry to Kushina for as long as she didn't see her Foxy-kun.

Naruto came to the classroom and greeted his friends while walking to Sasuke. The two had developed a good rivalry with each other, but before they could say anything, they were interrupted by Sakura with her normal "You're not as cool as my Sasuke-kun" attitude.

Sasuke could only laugh falsely while shaking his head.

After finishing his school day, Naruto headed Hinata and Ino to their homes and on the way he explained that he would tell Hiruzen Jiji that he would leave for two years to a special and that he would return to finish in the Academy with them.

The two girls were silent when they heard that their crush would leave for a while and leave them alone, but far from crying or trying to stop him, they supported him, after all, they were training to be shinobis.

Leaving the two girls, Naruto headed to the Sandaime and explained what he wanted to do.

Hiruzen, seeing the serious look of his grandson, nodded and gave permission but on condition that he did not approach the dangerous areas surrounding the village.

The forest surrounding Konoha could be three times as dangerous as the Forest of Death and that was why I had it mapped.

Hiruzen quickly handed him the map with the necessary information because he knew that it was better to become independent from a young age.

"I promise you Jiji" - Naruto said with a smile - "I can't leave Kaasan, Anko-chan, Hinata-chan, and Ino-chan sad"

He finished talking to the old man and went home to explain to Kushina.

She didn't want to let him go, but after talking for hours, she reluctantly agreed.

Her baby was growing and she had to support him, after all, he would become a Ninja in just two years and she couldn't take care of him on missions.

The next day Naruto left the village with an unknown destination but not before saying goodbye to his mother and friends. And to the surprise of those present, Hinata armed herself with courage and as they said goodbye she kissed Naruto on the lips, leaving him confused, which was taken advantage of by Ino, who continued the attack.

The two girls had decided not to fight each other because seeing how the redhead was, things would become much worse, not to mention that they had a common enemy called Anko.

* * * * * * * * *

That's how Naruto started his training.

In the morning he continued with his physical training only this time he used x50 gravity seals while absorbing Mokuton chakra. After hunting and eating, he continued with Ninjutsu, although this was a little simpler than his physical training because he used Kage Bunshin while dividing them by element. When the sun began to hide, he hunted once more for dinner and then continued with his Taijutsu and Fuinjutsu.

Thanks to his dedication and willpower, time passed quickly. The hours became days and days months, thus spending 2 years.

Now we can see a young redhead making hand seals in an almost desolate area, the only source of life is a small forest at his side - "Mokuton: Mokuryu no Jutsu (Wood Release: Wood-Dragon Technique)!"

And out of nowhere appeared a majestic dragon made of wood. His appearance was similar to a Chinese dragon from his past life.

"Now the next ..." - murmured the young man while making stamps again - "Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kotan (Wood Release Secret Technique: Birth of a world of trees)!"

The ground began to shake as tree shoots began to emerge, which quickly began to grow. The area that was once desolate, was now a lush forest that looked like it wanted to cover the skies.

"Despite having a lot of Chakra, I still have a hard time using this technique without transforming ..." - said the young man - "It is time to return ..."

"How will they be?" - the red-haired boy wondered as he walked to Konoha - "It's been 2 years since I left the village ..."

The young man could not stop thinking about all the people he missed, so he began to accelerate his steps.

When he could no longer endure the d.e.s.i.r.e to meet them again,4 beautiful and illusive foxtails sprouted from the end of his back.

"Kaasan, girls, boys, Jiji, I'm almost there ..." - Said the young man and then disappeared at high speed.
