No Shortcuts

 

 

 

 

How do you spell Naruto's last name? Sky has no real importance in this story! Her home is located at the northern edge of Fire Country. Understand that Sky was only there for the disguise jutsu thingy. We wont be seeing her for a long time, if ever again. As for Kyubi, I have no clue when I'm bringing him/her in. Kind of forgot about him to tell the truth. LOL I have an idea now!!! Wonder where it goes? Ok I hope that clears things up. I'm writing as fast as possible so please keep telling me to do it faster. Yes, that's right keep telling me. Who knows, it might actually work. Might take a small break after this, to up-date The Hybrid Angel I've been neglecting it, It's my first story and I've been doing amazingly well with it, considering I haven't up dated in a month…Inuyasha, haven't seen the new movies. Or the third Naruto move for that matter. Well enjoy. Time skip in like 5 or 8 chapter for Naruto.

“Kakashi, what have you found?” Asked the Hokage from behind his desk.

 

“Hokage-sama it seems that Uzimaki Naruto has vacated his apartment. We have also concluded that he's not within the villager walls.

 

“I see. It seems that we have quite the dilemma.”

 

“We believe he left through the northern gate during last weeks unexplained series of explosions and fireworks.”

 

“Naruto was always a genius when it came to pranks, guess he found their true potential.” He laughed lightly.

 

“Hokage-sama what will you have us do?”

 

Sigh “Naruto is a danger to this village and himself, while he's out there. I want him found. Take a team and bring him back to the village, unharmed. I have no intentions of provoking the boy into trying to leave the village again. Is that understood Kakashi?”

 

“Of course Hokage-sama.”

 

“Good, this is partly my fault for being so careless, but that's beyond the point.”

 

“Excuse me Hokage-sama for interrupting, but we have another reason to find Uzamaki.”

 

“And that would be?”

 

“The same day Uzamaki left the village, a boy his age, also broke into the room holding the forbidden scrolls.”

 

“Why wasn't…”

 

“The jonin on guard said the intruder throw the scroll out the window before disappearing. The report was placed, but I assume that with all this paper work has yet to reach your eyes.”

 

“Is that all?”

 

No, we believe the boy was Uzamaki. Because the boy had his hair covered, and this was found with the scrolls this afternoon.” He said producing a scroll from his kunai pouch. “It's addressed to you.” He placing it on the desk.

 

“Good work Kakashi. Now go find Uzamaki Naruto.”

 

“Yes Hokage-sama!”

 

Sarutobi smiled as Kakashi disappeared. He was one of the best, intelligent, reliable, even if he was a little on the lazy side. Picking up the scroll Sarutobi leaned back in his chair. He smiled as he observed the scroll, it was most defiantly from Naruto, the large blue spiral seal was his. Breaking the seal Sarutobi unrolled the scroll.

It was near midnight, Naruto collapsed on the ground breathing heavily with a satisfied smile on his lips. “I did it!” He said happily before falling into a deep slumber.

 

(Flash back)

 

Naruto had woken up in Sky's home earlier than usual. It was time he continue his journey to Snow Country. After a light breakfast courtesy of Sky he'd made his way to the front door with us back pack and new scroll. Sky had written him a few handy Jutsu as a goodbye present and given to him after breakfast. He'd been surprised to say the least.

 

Before he'd left from the small porch she pulled him into a hug, and kissed him on the head, telling him to come back and visit. Being thoroughly embarrassed all he could do was nod dumbly before he headed for the road. The effect wore off less than thirty seconds latter when she called him a shrimp, and warned him about being stepped on. He'd yelled at her then said goodbye and took off running before she could say anything else.

 

Naruto had stopped traveling just as the sun dropped behind the horizon. He then pulled out the scroll with the forbidden jutsu on them, and hadn't stopped training since.

Sarutobi sat in bed reading Naruto's letter for possibly the fiftieth time. It was interesting to say the least. He started the letter:

 

 

Dear Old Man,

 

I wonder how long it took you to figure out I was gone? A month, two months, a year? Well as long as you get this I don't care. I've decided I need some time to think about my position in the Hidden Leaf Village. I hope to make it back in two or three year depending on how everything goes. I'm going to get really strong and when I return the whole village will have to respect me. I'm going to make everyone see me for me and not that stupid fox. So you better be ready to hand over that hat over Old Man! I planed on taking some jutsu from that forbidden scroll. I'm almost positive I did it. The guard was a pervert and really easy to distract, but don't worry I'll keep those jutsu safe. You know the village security really is kind of sad, I set up all those explosives and nobody even noticed. Did you like the show? Those fireworks will be my last prank for a long time so I hope you did. I dare you to try and find me!

 

See You Later Old Man!

 

Sarutobi sighed. Something in his gut told him the ANBU team wasn't coming back with any useful information. Laying down for a well deserved rest he spoke into the darkness. “Naruto, be safe.”

Naruto woke up mid afternoon to the loud grumbles of his stomach. Yarning he stood and rummaged through his scrolls, Smiling he pulled out a summoning scroll labeled Ramen.

 

`The most important meal of the day, breakfast!' He thought happily.

 

Quickly opening the scroll and releasing the seal he watched as a two weeks supply of ramen piled up in front of him. Looking down sadly he remembered that he had a long way to go before reaching Snow.

 

“Now is not the time to be greedy.” He quickly grabbed a random cup and resealed the scroll.

 

Moving quickly he gathered wood and started a small fire under a small pot he'd brought. He sat quietly as he watched his water boil and thought back to last nights training.

 

He'd finally gotten the hang of the Kage Bushin, and even perfected the technique just before passing out. It had been ridiculously difficult too. Every time he made a bunch of bushin, none would have equal strength. I was frustrating at first but now… he smiled evilly at the thought of anyone ever trying to hurt him again. `They won't stand a chance.' His water came to a boil and he ate a quick meal and headed off toward the Land of Water. According to Sky, he could take a boat to The Land of Water, and after crossing Water he'd take another boat Right to Snow Country. So that was the plan.

 

Naruto had been walking for sometime before he pulled out a book on advanced chakra control. Read through the first three pages he was completely confused.

 

“How the heck am I'm supposed to become Hokage while climbing trees and walking on water.” He mumbled angrily.

 

“Stupid book, I mean how hard can it be to climb a tree with chakra?” Taking a running start he pumped chakra into his feet and started to run up the tree. Or that's what he wanted to happen. After his first step he was launched backwards into another tree. Growling angrily he repeated this process several times before he sat down pouting.

 

Naruto sat on the ground Indian style hunched over with his elbow on his knee, and chin in palm. It was obviously from his posture he was thinking. With a defeated sigh he reached into his pack and brought out the advance chakra book. “Guess I have to read it. All of it.” Strapping on his back pack he walked off reading his Chakra book. `Bring it on book! Your boring pages won't stop me from becoming Hokage!'….. “You better believe it.” he whispered darkly.

Yes this is the end of the chapter. Next chapter, there will most likely be a small time skip. I want to get to the interesting stuff. Oh and I can't wait! This is going to throw the rest of the manga and anime off. I mean I'm pretty much not using most of the manga or anime. I'm not sure what I'm going to keep from it though…. Holy crap, have any of you seen the anime death note??? It's freaking amazing!! Who would have thought, an anime, about a notebook that you can kill people with, could be so freaking amazing!!!!!! I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!!!!!! And Mediaminer….

 

 

Till next time…
