------------------------------------------------------Training! Start---------------------------------------------------

When Naruto awoke the next morning it the sun was just coming up. Looking out the window beside the bed he could see some of the Anbu watch coming in from their duty.

'Great I forgot to tell them I’m a new recruit,' he thought. as he got out of bed and stretched. 'Oh well, I'll see those two sooner or later.' And without another thought on the matter Naruto headed off to take a shower.

After his shower Naruto returned to his room to find Ibiki standing by the door. Startled Naruto spoke.

"Oh Ibiki! What can I do for.....SHIT! I was suppose to meet you the second I got up so we could go and pick up my Anbu equipment!" Bowing Naruto continued. "I am so sorry!!!

"No problem young Uzumaki It was an interesting night I hear. The first thing that happened to me today, was Sauske Uchiha swarming into my office with the accusation that I told you his surprise news. Did you tell them everything else?"

"Yes" And seeing the stern look on Ibiki's face Naruto continued hastily. "Well Sakura already knew. She learned when I told her and Kakashi before I was banned from telling anyone the news. And I told Sauske cause he's like a brother to me. I thought that he had a right to know. But I did manage to forget to tell Sakura and Sauske that I joined the Corpse.

"Well no matter. We have to get you suited as an Anbu. Please follow me." Ibiki said as he turned to leave.

Naruto quickly got dressed as Ibiki turned and headed out the door then turning Naruto followed hot on his heels.

As Naruto followed Ibiki through the house he though to himself. 'Wow this place really is amazing.' as he passed room after room. Soon he found himself in a small room full of weapons and other assorted things. The ninja sitting behind the counter stepped forward and spoke.

"Ah you must be the new trainee. What is your name?" He questioned.

Naruto who had been admiring the finely crafted weapons turned and replied. "Naruto Uzumaki."

The man behind the counter took a step back at the name, then composed himself once again.

"Jeese you hit hard, you know that." He said clutching his stomach as if remembering the feeling of getting hit.

Bowing Naruto replied. "I know...I'm really sorry about hitting you and everyone else yesterday night."

"Everyone else???" The other ninja asked looking puzzled.

"Yeah I sort of lost control of myself and knocked out a lot of other guys last night as well." Naruto replied giving the ninja his full attention now.

"WHAT?? you knocked more of us last night??? Jeese and I though you just got the upper hand on me with that quick dive punch that put me out." Shaking his head the ninja continued. "Well in any case I'm glad that your not an enemy of ours that’s for sure." Then becoming sterner the ninja got to the point. “Alright. So Naruto from now on your name in the Anbu Corpse shall be Golden Flash. I think it is suitable considering your heritage." He said winking to Naruto as if they shared a private joke. Then continuing on as if nothing happened the ninja asked. "Now what would you like the animal on your mask to be?”

Naruto thought about it for a second or so before replying. “Hmm well I was thinking maybe the Kyubi, if it's not too much trouble. I want my enemies to fear it as much as I did.”

Nodding the ninja spoke. “That is most wise Golden Flash, now what training did we plan for you today? Lets see here….wait a minute you don’t have to go through the regular training?? This is most strange. Why is that Golden Flash?” The ninja asked as he began to work on creating Naruto's mask.

“Well you see sir, I have already learned the ways of the Anbu well enough. The leaders of the Corpse though as much and told me I had a special training regimen that they were designing. They said it was going to be a day or two before it was ready so in the mean time I don’t know what else to do.”

“I see, well we could always have you spar with The Konoha Serpent. That is if you think your up to it?” The ninja sniggered as he said this last bit.

Nodding Naruto replied. “Sure I’ll spar with This Konoha Serpent person. What sort of sparing exercises are we doing?”

The ninja paused for a moment in thought then continued. “It will be one on one taijutsu training if I‘m not mistaken..”

“Sounds interesting......is my mask finished yet?” Naruto asked while looking over towards where the equipment ninja was just finishing up with the final touches as the chakra flowed freely from his hands, and shaped the mask.

“Yes we just finished actually. I’ll send the Silver Star to locate The Serpent. She and the Serpent are very good friends and I’m sure he could give even a guy like you a run for his money. Hell he might even be able to teach you a thing or two.” the ninja replied. Then handing the mask over to Naruto, he ushered him outside. Naruto placing the mask over his face was only too quick to oblige. He could sense the sceptism in the ninja's voice when he told him that he had knocked out more of the Anbu corpse members.

“Sounds interesting, I guess I'll have to wait for this Silver Star to locate the Serpent then. In the meantime I’m gonna go practice kunai throwing.” Naruto called from the door as he left the room. Then stepping outside Naruto got a clear look around the compound for the first time.

'Jeese its dark in the house,' he thought as he shielded his eyes from the bright light that filled the courtyard There were tons of training rings and small fenced in fields. There were targets all over the place. It seemed that most of the Anbu out there already, were doing exercises with their kunai. Laughing Naruto watched as the members try to perform the practice. Naruto had done the very same exercises with Jiraiya for two years. He was sure he could do it in his sleep if someone asked him to. Throw the kunai up, let it spin twice, catch it, and whip it into the target. If you can hit the center each time your right as rain.. 'Oh well better go start to practice before someone else comes to bother me.'

But just as Naruto was about to turn to leave Two people appeared blocking his way. One was a man wearing a mask depicting a snake with its fangs bared. The other a female with a mask with a silver star over one eye.

“So you must be the new recruit I’m to spar with. Well I wont go easy just cause your new. In fact I’m gonna make you eat the ground so many times that by the end of the day you’ll think you’re a cow.” spoke the man under the serpent mask. Then turning he snickered to his partner. She only nodded and continued to eye him through her mask.

'That voice it couldn’t be….Sauske?' thought Naruto. 'Oh well. If he thinks I’m gonna go easy on him for the sake of his pride he’s sorely mistaken. So then Silver Star would be Sakura...' Almost letting out a whoop of joy Naruto thought. 'Alright I found the two of them this quickly.' Then beaming happily under his own mask. Naruto looked Sakura over. ‘Damn she looks hot as an Anbu.’ He thought as he noticed how the outfit accentuate her curves.

“Well if it isn’t Sauske Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. What a pleasant surprise to see you today.”

Startled Naruto turned to see another Anbu standing right behind him. 'Wow there have only ever been two people that could sneak up behind me like that.' thought Naruto as he examined the new arrival. This one wore a mask depicting a smiling man with red tears and green squiggles all over his face.

“Smiling Painter we told you never to say our real names. Now the trainee won’t want to spar with me.” Sauske shouted as he looked at the new arrival.

“My apologies Serpent I lost my train of thought. It is only fair that I reveal who I am as well then. My name is Sai.”

'Sai. Yes! This is wonderful I can fight all three of them at once,' thought Naruto as he smiled even wider under his mask.. 'But how to make the challenge without giving myself away??...I know! I'll just lower my voice so its deeper and then issue the challenge.' 'Only Sai and Sauske could ever sneak up on me like that.' And chuckling to himself Naruto forced his voice to lower a few octaves before speaking.

“Well I think I’ll be able to take all three of you personally but whatever works.” Naruto replied calmly.

“What?? Did this trainee just say he would take all three of us on at once?” asked Sauske from behind his mask, sceptism clearly showing in his voice.

“I did...so do you except?” Naruto replied.

“Kid your really in for it now. You just challenged the three top Anbu members.” Replied Sakura hotly from under her mask. Then turning she lead Naruto and the others to one of the fenced in field areas. Hopping the fence the three took positions across from Naruto.

'Oh well it should at least be a challenge now,' thought Naruto as he faced the three others in the training field that had been created for the purpose of this particular type of sparing.

"Common you three don't look so great to me. I think I might go even as far as to say that I could probably beat you guys with an arm tied behind my back." Naruto shouted as he readied himself for the training match.

Naruto knew that he was riling them up, but he didn't care. It would be better if they were out for blood from the very start, rather than having to work themselves up by being embarrassed by him.

"What was that! Oh we’re so gonna make you wish you never said that.” Spoke Sauske in a cold deadly voice.

By now people had gathered outside the training field and were watching and whispering, and nudging one another. Then another masked figure stepped forward and addressed Sakura. "Silver Star what are you doing in that ring with Smiling Painter, and The Serpent?"

"Ummm well you see Wavering Tiger, The new trainee has challenged all three of us, not just the Serpent, so I thought I would indulge him." She replied calmly."

Nodding as though the answer sufficed the other ninja spoke. "Fine. If the trainee wants to fight all three of you, then he must really be in need of some high class ass kicking, You may proceed."

Then turning the ninja started to walk away. Naruto decided to speak up. He knew that a rookie would ask a question about the match, and so that is exactly what he intended to do.

“So this training is suppose to be a battle of taijutsu right?” Naruto asked the masked figure just as they were about to turn away.

"Yes but speed enhancing jutsu are allowed. Your too green to know them yet but that doesn’t mean they wont use them. The training begins when the whistle sounds. The participants seem to be The Serpent, Silver Star, and the Smiling Painter versus you. The first one to successfully knock out their opponents using taijutsu is the winner.”

“We have three seconds until the whistle sounds, I suggest you start to run the moment it does, but it won't really matter in the end..” shouted Sakura as she tightened her gloves.

“Even better, I'll count them down for us, and the second the whistle blows I will have two of you unconscious. Naruto replied using his husky voice.” “Three.” “Two.” “One.”

The whistle sounded and Naruto disappeared appearing between Sakura and Sai. With one swift motion he punched both in the gut, then disappeared back to his original position. In reality it looked like he hadn’t moved at all.

“What the.....?!!!!!”spoke Sauske as he noticed both Sakura and Sai fall down unconscious beside him.

Out in the crowd Naruto could hear a voice scream "WHAAATTT!!!!" but he was already moving again as he dodged two of the kunai that Sauske threw at him. Then after rolling backwards, he got to his feet and began to run in the opposite direction of Sauske. When Naruto felt there was a safe distance between the two of them he stopped and shouted.

“See I told you I would have two of you down and unconscious as soon as the whistle blew.” “Now Serpent its just you and me, I'll try not to embarrass you too much, by not taking you down like I did to those two. Instead I won't use my SPEED, only my SKILLS in taijutsu. Oh, and one more thing. Serpent I’m sorry but I'm anything but green.”

Then diving off to the left to avoid another barrage of kunai Naruto quickly began to run towards Sauske.

“What?!! Who are you that you can say that?? And how did you do what you just did.” he shouted back totally stopping his offensive as he watched Naruto rush towards himself. He stared around himself at the two friends who had been knocked completely unconscious before he could even do anything. He could hear excited whispers coming from the crowd as they watched in amazement as their top member struggled to understand what had happened.

“Oh that’s right, we were never properly introduced. I'm the Golden Flash of Konoha, its nice to meet you” And Naruto stopped a few feet away from Sauske. Then lowering his head he bowed. Sauske was so shocked at the sudden change in the fight that he didn't capitalize on the moment.

Naruto could see Sauske was going to draw a wrong conclusion to what had happened. But he never dreamed he would hear the next words that came out of Sauske's mouth. “I see. So you’re one of the leaders in disguise. Well now I won’t hold back no matter what. I will defeat you and prove myself.”

'Ok that does it time to drop the deep voice and let him know who he’s really fighting, even though I know he'll be pretty pissed when he hears it.' Naruto thought as Sauske rushed towards him, Turning Naruto sidestepped a ferocious leg sweep and then jumping managed to evade a roundhouse kick that followed right after.

Then allowing his voice to return to normal Naruto once again said: “Sauske as I said before I’m sorry but I am anything but green.”

Startled Sauske stopped dead. “That voice…it couldn’t be….Naruto??? But I thought…….Of course! That slip while we were talking yesterday night. You said something about Ibiki might not like that. Damnit!!! I should have know it was something like this!” "What did you do to Sakura and Sai? What was that jutsu??" He questioned his shoulder slumping and his body relaxing.

The crowd startled to hear this stumbled a few feet away from the ring and began to shout encouragement to Sauske. "Get him Sauske. Prove to him your the best of us!!"

"Yeah Sauske get him. He got lucky yesterday night!"

"Jeese they must really hate me after what I did yesterday" Naruto said, then sighing he looked at Sauske.

"Naruto what was that jutsu you hit Sakura and Sai with. And don't tell me it wasn't. Even Rock-Lee's not that fast. Sauske asked as he re-sheathed the kunai he had been about to throw.

“I didn't hit them with a jutsu, I only used a speed enhancing one and then dove forward and drove my fists into there stomachs.”
Laughing at the look of startled recollection on Sauske‘s face Naruto continued. “I was given the name Golden Flash for a reason. You should have recognised that too. Konoha Yellow Flash was the name of Yodamine, remember.” Sighing Naruto continued. "I didn't want to hurt them, so I held back with the hits."

“Jeese and I though you were just some dumb rookie. Not even my sharingan could keep up with your movements. Damnit! Naruto, that’s not fair. What will Sakura think if she finds out that you are Golden Flash? She will be thrilled and so will Sai but at the same time they will be angry because you didn’t tell Sakura and I yesterday and Sai...Sai doesn’t even know your back yet.” Sauske said as he slowly walked towards Sakura and Sai. Then bending down he tried to shake the two of them awake. It didn't work. He tried again with the same affect. Sighing he turned and looked at Naruto.

“I know. I know." Naruto said as he walked towards them. "I’m gonna wake them up now anyways, and if its all right, then will just say you won.”

“Hey Naruto. After this is over, maybe we could spar some more and you could teach me some new jutsus.” Sauske asked while he watched Naruto walk towards him.

“Sure Sauske but first we have to wake these two up. You might want to copy this one as a forget me not though. It may come in handy.” “Stand back will you, I'm gonna hit them with a water jutsu...and it will be cold.”

Then while Sauske activated his sharingan to learn the technique Naruto formed all of the hand signs, then as he finished the last of the hand signs he shouted.

"Water Style: Raging Waterfall Jutsu!!" and as the shocked crowd stared on a gushing current of water fell on top of Sakura and Sai.

The second the cold water of the waterfall washed over them, there was and immediate reaction.

“AYA COLD!!!!” Sakura screams and jumped to her feet as the waterfall struck her. Then as he released the jutsu, Naruto watched Sakura rush over towards Sauske. Sakura who was now freezing cold, and soaked down to her core stood shivering and rubbing her arms trying to get the heat moving in them again.

And Sai ,Sai just sat bolt upright.

“Sa..Sauske wh..what..s go..ing on???” asks a cold, shivering, and startled Sakura.

"Yes and explanation would be good right now Sauske.” Asked a just as shaken Sai.

“Well I’m afraid that’s up to him to give.” Sauske said and pointed over to where Naruto was standing, hands in his pockets.

And as both eyes turn on him, Naruto took his hands out of his pockets and reached up towards his face. Then removing his mask Naruto said one simple word.

“Hi.”
