I do not own Naruto

Moiya Hatake…-Thank you very much…

Chapter 21

Arashi, strode out of the hospital the next day with a smile on his face. Sakura and Ino had cleared him to be able to do basic missions should he need to. His chakra wasn't quite up to par, to teach his son what he really wanted to at this moment, and both medics had told him to stick to basic jutsus right now.

But still this was a time for celebration!

Approaching the training grounds, he finds his son in the same position as before, when Sakura had pulled him away. A gentle smile on his lips, he watched as Naruto steadily cut the water in half with his chakra.

Grinning now, Arashi was clapping his hands as he approached the boy, who was smiling in happiness. “I finally did it Sensei…!”

His good mood dropping a small notch, as he had hoped Naruto would call him what he desperately wants to hear, he smiles anyway. For he is proud of what the youth has accomplished in just a day…

“Well, shall we move to the next stage then?”

Leaping down from the waterfall, to not only dry off but to get dressed, Arashi spots a head of dark hair and flustered skin. Saying nothing, as he knows from others that his son is not the type to take advantage, he chuckles as his son looks over there puzzled.

“See something funny?”

“Just a hidden admirer of yours…” Arashi grins. The confused look on Naruto's face evident, he wraps his arm around a now dressed youth, to guide him to an empty field. Peaceful and happy over the next three hours as he explains and demonstrates what he wishes Naruto to accomplish. He watches as the youth struggles…

Another hour or so later, Naruto is collapsing onto the ground in frustration, dispersing his clones in the process. Growling in irritation, he ponders something…Arashi watches him quietly. He can see the wheels turning inside his son.

Watching as the blue of his eyes light up, Naruto summons the clones again, this time as they gather around him he places them in groups of three.

Curious at to what his son is attempting, he watches as two work on a Rasengan and the third starts playing with the shape.

“Inventive…” He murmurs as he remembers Naruto's unique training style. Watching as the youth worked, a shadow arose over him. Looking up to find the ANBU known as Wolf, he tells Arashi Tsunade's message.

“You have twenty-four hours to get him to learn it.”

Startled by this, Arashi nods his head as he leaps up, whispering a request of the ANBU to supervise Naruto. He is stunned as his request is denied. “I am your guard, and Tsunade had already thought of one upon him.”

Startled by this revelation, Wolf points up, and with a calm precision and ANBU emerges from the trees. Having used a camouflage jutsu to disguise not only his chakra but his mere presence, Arashi was impressed by the Hawk.

Nodding in understanding, Arashi leaps towards Hokage tower with Wolf following. His need to know overwhelming him, he is conscious of those in the village watching him. A cloaked figure in the middle of their town, followed by an ANBU, was something you don't see everyday unless it was a squad of them.

Shrugging in response, he runs through the guards, who recognize the cloak and speed at which eh runs. Racing to the tower office of the Fifth, he pushes open the door with questions in his eyes.

But it seems Tsunade was prepared for him…

“Naruto's team is the only one available at the moment to go and help Kakashi and the others. We just received reports that the Akatsuki in the area has doubled. One I believe Kakashi and the others could handle. But two…might prove troublesome for them.”

“Why not have faith in their abilities…” Arashi asked plainly.

“One of them is a curse specialist that recently took out one of our elite ninjas Arashi. One I believe you know well…Asuma…”

Collapsing into a chair at that name, Arashi mourns for the death of a ninja. Asuma was indeed a promising one. Although not as strong as Kakashi, Asuma more then made up for it with a brilliant mind and timing that had made him an asset to Konoha from day one of becoming a genin all the way to when he became jounin.

“Allow me to go Tsunade…” Arashi whispered. “I don't want my son out there as of yet, considering if what you and Kakashi and the others told me is true. The reason they are coming this direction is because they are after NARUTO!”

Slamming her fist hard into the desk as Tsunade glared at her predecessor. “No Arashi and you damn well know why!”

“They don't know I am alive Tsunade!”

“DAMNIT ARASHI! THE ANSWER IS STILL NO!” The blonde woman replies. “You don't get it. It's not that they don't know you're alive. It's to keep them from finding out you are. Konoha in general does not need the Cloud village coming after us again, at the same time Akatsuki or Orichamaru is doing so!”

Growling in rage, Arashi can't think of anything to say to counter her words. Because deep down, he knows she is right…

“Look Arashi…I understand where you are coming from. But you must realize that in your lifetime, you made a lot of enemies, who would dearly love to attack Konoha at this time. Right now we are weak…if I was to allow you to go aide Kakashi.” The blond stated quietly. “So please…train your son and do the best that you can”

“Tsunade…” Arashi starts to say warningly. But he is surprised as her hand reaches out to his lips to silence him. “Arashi…believe me of something does happen to him…I will do it myself…”

Looking into one another's eyes, an unspoken agreement occurs between the two adults, over a young man cursed to be a demon vessel.

“So when?”

“He is working on the one right now. When I feel he is ready I will train him on the other. After all it is part of who he is…”

“I see…until then help him do it faster or make sure to get him to a point where in battle it can emerge.”

“With that's aid, the two part…their common worry is over whether or not, they can train a boy in time to fight things that are beyond any normal human's control.

Questions you may ask.

Where has Yamato and Sai been?

They are actually more or less more semi minor characters and won't be in as much. The story will revolve mostly around Arashi and Naruto of course, with several points going towards Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata and the rest of them.
