Chapter 2 New Home and Training

Naruto was peacefully drooling on his pillow as he dreamt, blissfully unaware of the fact that he was about to be waken up.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! KONAN-NEE-CHAN! GET OFF OF ANIKI! HE'S BLEEDING! AND WHAT'S ALL THIS WEIRD LOOKING WHITE STUFF ALL OVER YOUR FACE!" Needless to say, everyone within range of a certain blonde hair girls voice was awakened by this. Grumbling that he wasn't dreaming anymore, Naruto got and looked for something to put on other than the large baggy shirt that looked like a dress on him that he was wearing. He sighed in resignation and was about to walk out of the room when it flung open and Karin walked in before throwing a package in Naruto's face, knocking him to the ground. Naruto looked up and glared at Karin's smirking figure. "What was that for!"

"Those are clothes for you that I stole from ni-san's equipment. And what was it for... fun." Her smirk turned out right wicked on him at the end making Naruto gulp and made a mental note not to piss her off in the future. "Now get dressed. When ni-san gets out of the hospital he and Konan-nee-chan going to start training you with us after we get settled into our new house." Naruto blinked in confusion at Karin. "Train? Train in what?" Karin looked at Naruto as if he was stupid and was about to answer along with insulting him when Konan walked up. "We're going to be training you how to be a shinobi if you want to be one. If not it's just for self defense." He looked at her before a wide grin appeared. "Really!" Konan nodded with a smile on her face. "Yes, now I got to go get you some clothes..."

"Ni-san already did that. I just had to steal it from his stuff." Interrupted Karin with her trademark smirk plastered on her face. Konan glared at her. "What else did you steal?" Karin shrugged as she headed for the door. "Nothing. He keeps all his important stuff sealed within scrolls and it's useless for anyone else other than Yugito to attempt to open them." Konan sighed and turned back to Naruto to see him naked and getting dressed. She quickly turned around and grabbed Karin before walking out of the room with a blush on both of their faces.

Once dressed, Naruto took a look at himself in the mirror. He wore a crimson t-shirt with a orange Konoha leaf on the front, navy blue kaki pants tucked into a pair of black combat boots. Naruto smiled at his reflection before he rushed out of his room to run into and knock over a girl a few years older than him with purple hair and charcoal colored eyes with no seen iris. But this wasn't what had his attention though, it was the fact her forehead, left cheek, the frame of her face, neck, her left arm with the exception of her shoulder, her right forearm and her right leg were wrapped in bandages. Besides the bandages, she wore a baggy, light blue tank top and a pair of brown shorts that were a few inches above her knees. Seeing that she was uncomfortable with his staring, he shook his head and smiled at her as he extended a hand to help her up. "Sorry about that nee-chan. I kind of ran out of the without looking."

She smiled somewhat and took his hand so he could pull her off the ground. As he did another girl wearing a pink kimono with dark brown eye and same colored hair that reached down to the middle of her back walked over to them. Naruto's jaw dropped as he saw her as she was even more beautiful than the pink hair girl that was nice to him when they ran into each other. She had a creamy pale skin along and had a elegant face but with some boyish features as well. If she wanted to, she could claim that she was a boy and probably get away with it. She looked at Naruto for a second before turning to the purple haired girl. "Isaribi, who is this?"

"From what I guessed from Yugito's ranting last night, he's Naruto. Naruto, this is Haku and I'm Isaribi." Naruto smiled brightly at the two. "Hi nee-chans!" Both smiled lightly, until cussing was heard. "Dammit! Keep it the fuck down! You know what time it is!" Came from a slightly pissed red head girl as she rubbed her eyes. "Tayuya! What have I told you about your mouth." came from an upset Konan as she gave an egg to Kin in the small kitchen as they attempted to cook breakfast. "And what have I told you. When you and ni-san stop cussing so much, so will I." Kin looked up to Konan as she cracked the egg and placed it in the frying pan. "You know, she has a point."

Growling in frustration, Konan couldn't help but agree with Kin, even if she refused to admit it. Tayuya grinned in triumph as she walked over to the couch and grabbed the TV remote and started changed the channel off from a show which featured an energy called chi, Super Sayians and seemingly invincible enemies. "Hey! I was watching that!" yelled Yugito as turned around and was about to leap at Tayuya when a kunai was held at her throat by a pissed Karin. "Change it back, that is the only show I watch, even if Yugito likes it." Tayuya gulped and changed it back in a hurry as both Karin and Yugito smiled before sitting back on the floor and happily watching Dragon Ball Z. Naruto blinked in confusion and shrugged his shoulders as he sat down to watch it with the two.

A few minutes later, the fire alarms were going off as Konan threw the burning frying pan into the sink and turned the water on while Kin was trying to salvage what food they had left. Naruto couldn't help but sweat drop as the girls sighed, except for Karin who spoke. "Okay, now that your done making fools of yourselves since you two don't have the ability to cook, let's go out to eat breakfast." Both Konan and Kin glared dangerously at Karin and yelled at her at the same time. "If your so good at it, why don't you come over here and cook it for us!" Kari shrugged in response. "I never said I was good at cooking. I'm just merely stating that you two suck at it."

Both hang their heads in shame before a knock at the door interrupts them. Konan walks over and opens the door to see the raven hair of Miko with Itachi in his Anbu armor carrying a few bags of food with him. Konan looked at him confused. "What is the food for?" Itachi shrugged in response as Miko ran into the room and sat next to Karin as they watched the end of DBZ. "When I took Rikimaru to the hospital he gave me the money to get you guys food as none of you have the ability to cook. And from the burning smell coming from this room, I believe he was right." She narrowed her eyes dangerously and muttered a few choice cuss words before letting him in.

Itachi quickly entered and placed the food on the table before turning back to Konan. "Can you watch Miko for a few minutes for me. I have to get a few of Naruto's things before I can take you to the house Hokage-sama is moving you guys into." 'I wouldn't call it a house... more like a mansion.' She shrugs in indifference. "One more can't hurt... too much." Understanding the meaning Itachi nodded and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. She sighed before turning back towards the Naruto and the girls who where now devouring the food, except Haku, Isaribi and Miko, the former two eating as a normal person should and the later not even eating as she already had. She sighed and picked up a plate herself and started eating.

As they were finished eating, Naruto turned towards Miko. "Hey Miko-chan! When did you get here?" Konan couldn't help but sweat drop at that as Miko smiled at him. "Just a few minutes ago with aniki." Yugito looked at the two before growling in the back of her throat, earning her a glare from Konan but she didn't pay any attention to it and was about to jump her when the door open and a crippled Rikimaru and Itachi walked in. "Imouto, no. Down." Rikimaru said glaring at the crouching Yugito. She crossed her arms and gave him a pouting look but complied with his command.

Shaking his woozy head from the blood loss he suffered last night. "Anyways, get your stuff packed, we're going to our new... mansion like house." They all blinked before all the girls besides Miko scurried to their rooms to grab their things as Naruto walked up to Rikimaru. "What happened to you? You look like you ran into the psycho purple hair lady that dresses like nee-chan when she's having one of her bad days." Rikimaru shuddered at the thought and patted Naruto on the head. "That pretty close to what happened. Just remember one thing... never pick a girlfriend who's a dominatrix." Not sure what that meant, Naruto nodded his head as the rest came out of their rooms.

"Alright, now that you're ready, let's go." Itachi spoke up and walked outside with them following shortly.

--------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------

Naruto clang closely to Rikimaru and Konan as they walked through the market district once more. Each girl was confused to as why he did this, but Yugito was the one very close to the truth. 'That's weird. Why is he frightened of the villagers. I remember doing the same back home with aniki... he can't be. Is he the same as me?' Rikimaru sighed as she had accidentally sent him that thought. 'I'm going to have to teach her how to control our bloodline. It seems it's finally manifesting.' Shaking that thought off his head, he looked down at Naruto and frowned slightly. 'That's something else. How am I going to tell him...'

His thought trail was cut off as a brazen villager had thrown a bottle at Naruto. It never reached as the bottle was intercepted by a kunai, curtsy of a frowning Miko and an angry Itachi glared at the villager with his Sharingan spinning wildly. He quickly turned around not wanting to piss off the heirs of the Uchiha clan. Most of the girls looked shocked at what happened except for Yugito, who was growling madly and Isaribi as she was treated the same back at her home before Konan found her. Tayuya was the first to speak for them. "What the fuck just happened here?" Itachi rose an eyebrow at both Konan and Rikimaru who shrugged. "She's been like that before we met her, just it's now more pronounced. And I'll tell you'll later what happened, when you're ready to know." 'More like when Naruto is ready to hear it.'

"But why..." Tayuya was interrupted by Konan. "In due time it will make sense, but for now drop it." She looked rebellious for a moment, but conceded in the end as they made it out of the market district and into the richer side of town. Miko was the first to recognize this. "Um, aniki. Why are we heading towards the Hyuuga complex?" Itachi smirked a little before masking it, mainly because he was one of the few that knew Naruto's true heritage who were the Sandaime, the clan heads and the most trusted members of their clans. "Because it is near there imouto." Miko's eyes widen at that. "But... there’s only one house their and it belong to..."

Itachi clamped his hand over her mouth and shook his head. Getting his drift, Miko nodded in understanding leaving everyone confused except Rikimaru as his eyes were wide as saucers. Itachi noticed this and grimaced. 'Damn! By the end of this trip I'm going to hate telepathy.' "Join the club." Came Rikimaru's voice from within his head. 'If you do not get out of my mind in the next three seconds, I'm going to make sure that only your imouto can rebuild your clan.' Rikimaru blanched in fright and closed his legs as they continued to walk. Konan noticed this and rolled her eyes at him as they walked up to a three story house with Sarutobi standing in front of it.

Naruto was the first to greet him. "Hey ojij-san!" Everyone there besides Itachi, Rikimaru and Konan were doing a perfect imitation of a fish. Sarutobi chuckled at Naruto's exuberance. "Just here to make sure everything is alright." With that said, he pulled out a key and unlocked the door and headed in with the Naruto, Itachi, Konan and Rikimaru behind him. Once they realized they were left behind they rushed in after them.

Once they were inside there was only one word that could describe it. "Damn!" Rikimaru said with his eyes wide as everyone besides Sarutobi looked around in shook. "Holy shit! However fucking owned this place before was loaded!" Konan said in the same shock as Rikimaru. Itachi eyebrows twitched at the two. 'I'm really beginning to think this is a bad idea to let them be guardians of Naruto.' Shaking that thought out of his head, he turned back to the recovering family. Sarutobi nodded at the outburst from the two ex-nukenins. "True, they were one of the richest families in Konoha and it was there will to leave this to Naruto once he was of age or had a guardian."

"Wait. Why would they give that this to me?" asked Naruto confused by this turn of events. Sarutobi caught his mistake and came up with something to get him out of this situation. "They were the only ones who knew who your parents were so they decided to give you this. They would have adopted you, but they passed away when Kyuubi attacked." Naruto looked up at Sarutobi with a piercing glaring as if he was trying to determined if he was lying or not. Sarutobi started to sweat bullets at this and started praying when Naruto gave him a bright smile. "Really!" Sarutobi nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

"Yes Naruto. Now, here on the first floor is the kitchen, living rooms and dinning room. There is also a library on this floor with all kinds of books ranging from jutsus to basics of psychology. Also in the back there is three separate onsen back their so they could have privacy... without being peaked on by a certain pervert." 'Damn you Minato. Damn you for not letting Jiraiya use you and Kushina for his inspiration.' The Sandaime had fire burning in his eyes at that thought which made everyone take a step back in fear of the old man.

Shaking his head, he got back to explaining what they would find. "Anyways, the bedrooms are on the second and third floors and since there are twelve a floor with a master bedroom in each, you can choice what rooms you want. They were shinobi as well, so they had their own personal training ground in the back, so you can use it to your luxury. There is also a basement here, but it's inaccessible to anyone that isn't related to them because it requires a sample of their blood to open the door." Naruto looked confused at this.

"What happens if you try to get in and aren't their family." Sarutobi shivered as he remembered a few of Danzo's Root Anbu that tried to get in and steal the scrolls to the Hiraishin and the Rasengan. Shaking his head of that image, he turned back down to Naruto. "It's not pretty, I'll tell you that. But I already sealed it off so none of you can get hurt." Both Rikimaru and Konan sighed in relief knowing one of the girls or perhaps they themselves would have been tempted to enter the room more than one time. Shaking his head from that thought, Rikimaru turned to Naruto and the girls. "Well, best to get up their and choose our rooms so we can put out stuff up."

Sarutobi nodded and turned to Naruto before ruffling his hair, much to the boy's displeasure. "Well, I have to get back to my office." 'To the damnation know as paper work. Kami I hate my job.' Naruto nodded at the old man. "Alright, bye ojij-san." The old man chuckles before shushining out of the room. Not a few seconds later everyone could swear they heard him screaming in agony. Itachi shook his head before turning to Miko. "Well, it's time to go. I have mission in a few minutes so I'll drop you off at the Hyuuga estate so you and Hinata can catch up." Miko looked disappointed but nodded her head before turning to Naruto. "Adiosu, Naruto-kun." Naruto smiled and waved at her before both Itachi and Miko left leaving Naruto in a room with a growling Yugito since the others had already went up to claim there rooms.

He turned around, only to be grabbed by Yugito and dragged up the stairs. After the bumpy ride up, she would have dragged Naruto further if Rikimaru hadn't intervened and separated the two. He sighed before turning to Naruto. "You have the master bed room on this floor, it's on the right at the very end of the floor." Naruto blinked in confusion at that and asked. "Um, why do I get the biggest room on this floor." Rikimaru shrugged as if he didn't know, even if he did know the reason why. "I don't know. I have a theory why, but anyway Itachi put your stuff in that room so I'm guessing he claimed it for you." Yugito's ear twitched at that and ran down the hall and kicked Tayuya out of the way to the room to it's right, earning her a large string of cusses.

Rikimaru twitched at that before sighing out loud. "Hey, Kin. Gather your sisters up. I'm going to start your training in the training grounds in the back." Kin nodded and walked down the hall to collect the girls while he turned back to Naruto. "Come on, I have a few things to teach you so you're up to speed with them." With that, he gripped Naruto's shoulder and shushined outside. Naruto looked around in aw at the place before Rikimaru's cough got his attention. "Alright, I'm going to explain to you what I'm going to be training you in for the next couple of years till you get into the academy. But first, let's see what you know. I assume you can throw kunai and shuriken." Naruto nodded his head and caught the pouch thrown at him.

"Okay then. That's your weapon pouch from now on. I want you to throw a few kunai and shuriken and kunai at that dummy over there." Naruto nodded and strapped the pouch on his left hip before pulling out a handful of shuriken and launching them at the dummy... and missing it terribly. Rikimaru could only sweat drop at the sight, but sighed before walking up to Naruto as he was about to throw the kunai. "Stop, here let me help you. You throwing style is wrong." He knelt beside Naruto. "Alright, widen your stance. Good, now pull your arm closer into you. Now when you throw a shuriken or a kunai it has to be a fluid like motion, not forced. So relax and focus on the dummy. Once all you see is that dummy, throw."

He got up and backed away as Naruto nodded and took a deep breath and started focusing solely on the target dummy in front of him. He stared at the dummy as if it was all that was in the world before moving his arms quicker than he had done before and the kunais embedded themselves into the dummy. Rikimaru looked stunned as he saw this. 'WHOA! One adjustment and the kind hit both of the dummies eyes, heart and groin just like that!' Shaking that thought off, he turned to Naruto. "Good, very good. Now this time try it with the Shuriken." Naruto nodded and pulled out the shuriken and began focusing. By this time the girls were already here and saw Naruto throw the shurikens, embedding into the same places where the kunai where.

Rikimaru could help but smile at that. "Kid, your a natural. Now keep practicing while I start the girls training, alright." Naruto nodded and started to pelt the unfortunate dummy with his throwing weapons as Rikimaru turned to the girls. "Alright, let's see... ah yes. Yugito, you need to continue tree walking to start getting control over your reserves. Karin, I want you to go to the other side of the field and try to locate where I'm at. Kin, join Naruto in throwing weapons but only use your senbon. Haku, same but practice using your bloodline as well. Tayuya, tree walking while playing your flute and try to put me in one of your genjutsus. Isaribi, as much as I know you don't like to, I want you to get used to your underwater form and swim around the pond around twenty times above water then below water."

They nodded and went to begin to do what they were told to do when Rikimaru called Naruto over before pulling out four wristbands. Naruto looked at them curiously when Rikimaru explained what they were. "These are weights. Each one weighs five pounds. I want you to wear these at all times. It will increase your speed, stamina and endurance when you train with them on and even when your not training." Naruto nodded and put them on, only to catch himself before falling on the ground. "Yes I know, it's a little heavy for you to start with, especially at your size but this will help you become stronger." Naruto gritted his teeth but nodded as he picked himself up and tried to walk normally, but had to settle for shorter steps. Rikimaru sighed before placing a hand on his chest. "Stop, sit down and let your muscles get used to the weight before trying to move."

Naruto nodded and slowly sat down so he didn't hurt himself. "Okay, while you weight, I'm going to teach you a chakra control exercise. You do know what chakra is right?" Naruto thought about for a second before answering. "I know a very little, I only know how to use it." Rikimaru sighed as he sat down in front of Naruto. "Alright, I'll explain it to you. Chakra is the energy that flows through our bodies, our life force energy if you will. It is a mixture of spiritual and physical energy that can be harness in many ways. Depending on the way you use it, you can form different types of chakra, but will get to that later as it something you don't need to know yet. There are 361 release points in your body called tenketsu. Most are inactive for the majority of shinobi, but in some rare occasions some have been know to be able to use all of them. The number that are active depends on your control over your chakra and the amount of chakra you have. In your case it is quite possible for you to activate each one due to your already massive chakra reserves."

Rikimaru couldn't help but be impressed when Naruto nodded his head in understanding. Sure, he knew that he didn't understand it all but he wasn't expecting him to. "Now that you understand, take this leaf and use chakra to balance it above your nose like I am." He placed the leaf above his nose and kept it levitating off but not to far will it would blow it away. He handed the leaf over to Naruto who tried to repeat it, but blasted the leaf off his nose. Rikimaru chuckled at him. "To much chakra, lessen the amount that you are channeling. Oh and a tip, try to get it to get it to stick while float above your nose. Now I got to start helping the others." He nodded and let Rikimaru leave as he placed the leaf back on his nose, only for it to float away.

For some reason, he felt this was going to be a long day.
