Authors Notes: Hey everyone, back again with the second chapter. I hope you're all enjoying it so far. Wow, I can't believe that I already have so many reviews! Thanks everyone. I'll reply to your reviews at the bottom of the chapter. Okay everyone, I want to let you all know that this story is going to be a SasuNaru fanfic. I know it's been done so many times before, but I'm trying to make it different. Naruto isn't going to immediately be with Sasuke. And he won't be a blushing UberUke either. I'm going to make these two boys work for their relationship. Naruto will be briefly paired up with other people through out the story, most likely in flashbacks mainly.

 

Disclaimer: I do not own the series Naruto (both manga and anime), and I do not endeavor to make it seem like I do. The only thing I own the plot of this story. Don't bother suing me, you won't get much and it will cost you heaps in lawyer bills.

Chapter Two. ANBU hell.

 

Naruto followed the captain across rooftops to the Uzumaki estate, which was now known as ANBU headquarters.

“We will get you settled in your new residence - all your possessions from your former apartment have been moved there - the we'll get your equipment and uniform before setting up your training schedule. You've got a long road of training ahead of you, Uzumaki-san.” The captain stated.

“I am ready and willing, captain. This is another step in my road to becoming Hokage.” Naruto said seriously.

“Well here we are. The Uzumaki head family mansion. I will come back for you this afternoon.” The captain walked off, leaving Naruto to his own devices.

“So this is my home.” Naruto murmured as he began exploring the mansion. And he meant what he said. Unlike his old apartment, which had only ever been a house, this mansion was a home. He could almost feel the comforting spirits of his ancestors, his family, welcoming him.

The mansion was much larger then anything Naruto was used to. It had it's own library, a large kitchen, several bedrooms each with attached bathrooms, a indoor onsen, and a meditation room that was an indoor garden.

The last room that Naruto came upon was the only one that had the door closed. Opening it, he stepped inside and gasped in shock. It was a nursery. Looking around, tears came to his eyes as he saw the small baby outfits and toys that filled the lovingly decorated room. From the name painted on the head of the crib, he realized that this was the room that his parents had prepared for him. His mother and father had loved him and had everything ready for them to be a family together. This filled him with shock. While he knew that Yondaime was his father, he'd never registered the fact that some one might have loved him enough to want him as family. It had always been wishful thinking for him growing up. Once he had calmed down, he wiped away the remaining tears and began looking around the room properly, wanting to see what his parents had prepared for him.

A couple of hours later, Naruto had finished settling in. He'd claimed the main bedroom for himself, then cooked and ate lunch. He was just about to start reading the scrolls he'd received when the doorbell rang. Standing up again, he answered it and found the ANBU captain there.

“I see you've adjusted well.” The captain observed, taking in the lounging kimono Naruto was now wearing. Naruto had found it in the closet and guessed it belonged to his father.

“Yes, thank you. Could you give me a few moments to change? I go comfortable and forgot you'd be returning today.” Naruto admitted with a slight blush.

“Understandable. I will wait here while you put on something more appropriate. I'll be giving you a tour of the estate and we'll be purchasing your equipment, before arranging your training schedule.” The captain revealed.

“Hai.” Naruto dashed off down the halls.

He returned ten minutes later in his Jounin uniform.

“Let us depart then.” The captain nodded in approval.

“Ano, sir, what do you want me to call you?” Naruto asked uncertainly.

“That's a good question,” the captain chuckled, before removing his mask, “and seeing as you are one of us now, you get to know who I really am. My name is Hyuuga Tsubasa. I believe you know my nephew Neji. I am his mother's brother.”

The man looked a lot like Neji, though he had a different facial structure.

“Nice to meet you, Hyuuga-san.” Naruto bowed politely.

“Come now, you can call me Tsubasa. You'll be cursing me before the week is out, anyhow.” Tsubasa chuckled.

“Very well, Tsubasa-san.” Naruto shrugged, not sure what to make of Tsubasa's last comment.

“Good, now come on, Naruto-kun, we've got ground to cover.” Tsubasa smirked, leading Naruto through the streets.

Naruto was shown the dojo, the target-practice area, the training fields, the various shops, the medical centre, the restaurants, the onsen, and the main office. Once the tour was done, he was taken to a clothing store and measured up for his uniform. Then he was taken across the street to the mask maker and sat patiently as his head was molded in plaster.

“What animal would you like your mask to represent, Uzumaki-san?” the mask maker asked.

“Could it be a representation of the Kyubi, please. I've merged with said kitsune now, and I want to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies.” Naruto requested once all the plaster had been removed from his face.

“A fitting choice, sir. Your mask will be ready for your initiation.” The mask maker nodded.

The final shopping stop was the blacksmith.

“Okay kid, a lot of your weapons are gonna be your basic nin-weapons such as kunai, shuriken, and senbon. The major difference with ANBU is that not only will you be using a katana as well, but you will also specialize in a weapon and make it yourself. You're here now to look at the various weapons and choose which one you want to specialize in.” the blacksmith stated.

“Okay. Cool.” Naruto nodded and began browsing the various weapons hanging on the walls of the shop. They ranged from glaives, to chain-sickles, to knuckle-dusters. Then his eyes fell upon a pair of sai (A.N. And I'm talking about the weapon here, not the manga character). Naruto preferred close-combat, and those sai looked like they could cause a good bit of damage while still looking damn cool.

“I wish to learn how to wield those sai.” He stated.

“Nice choice. You've got the build for them. According to what data we have on you, they match your fighting style also.” Tsubasa nodded.

The blacksmith added a pair of practice sai to the top of the pile of weapons he was making on the counter. Paying for everything, they added the new bags to their others and headed into the main office.

“Impressive office.” Naruto commented, looking around.

“We like striking awe into anyone who comes here. Of course, it's only this daunting in the public area. Out back where only ANBU go, it's not so bad.” Tsubasa chuckled, “Come, I've got to set up your training timetable. Then you're to go home and sleep. You'll need it. Tomorrow your ANBU training starts.”

Naruto did not like the sadistic smirk on Tsubasa's face.

Once he was given his timetable, he gathered his bags and left. Getting home, he put away his things, had dinner, and went to bed.

The next morning his alarm went off at five am. He knew that if he wanted to be ready for his six thirty am start, he needed to get up now. He glared out his window as he noticed that the sun wasn't even up yet. This was an evil time of the morning. Showering and dressing in the clothes he'd bought yesterday, he ate breakfast and headed out to the dojo, where he would start his training. He had no idea the hell he would be in for.

Every day, from six thirty am till six thirty pm, he went through relentless training with the only breaks being for a drink of water or lunch. Every muscle was worked, every move drilled. He went though target practice, kata drills, sparring, flexibility training, sword drills, worked with his sais, learnt the ANBU code and sign language, and went through combat simulations. By the time he got home in the evening, he only had enough energy to eat dinner, shower, and collapse in bed.

Currently it was assessment day. Naruto had been fighting for his life for the past three hours. He stood in the middle of the arena, panting heavily as he dripped with sweat. His hair was matted to his face. His clothes were in shreds hanging off his body. He'd been pushed to his limit and beyond. This was evident by the fact that he'd shifted to his kitsune form. Nine tails whipped behind him, fox-ears twitched on the top of head, his fangs showed due to his panting, claws flexed, and slitted blue eyes darted around, waiting for the next opponent.

As someone approached, he twitched and shifted into a defensive stance, ready to fight once more.

“Calm down, Naruto-kun. It's over.” It was Tsubasa that had approached.

“Over?” Naruto questioned, still not relaxing.

“Hai. You're assessment is finished. You've passed. You're a full ANBU member now.” Tsubasa smiled.

“Sugoi.” Naruto whispered, before collapsing unconscious.

“Good job, child.” Tsubasa chuckled, before turning to the ANBU medic-nin that ran over, “Have him taken to Tsunade. She can look after him for us.”

“Hai, captain.” The medic-nin gathered Naruto and sped away with him.
