Chapter 7

On with the story

Two small hooded figures ran through a park, small giggles could be heard as they chased each other around. They were wearing black hooded robes that were too big for them but barely limited their movement. They ran through the park on all fours. There were many different structures for the figures to play on, and they took advantage of them all. These figures were none other than Naruto and Gaara, and ever since they met, they were in separable, to the side Kyuubi and Shukaku sat with their tails entwined, watching over the kits.

 

It had been two weeks since the two boy's transformation, and they were with each other every waking moment. Kyuubi and Shukaku decided it would be best for the boys if they got to know each other a bit before starting their training, and they had gotten to know each other well in just two weeks. They constantly watched each other, learning the others habits, tendencies, moods. Though they didn't know everything about each other, it was enough for their training to start.

 

Kyuubi and Shukaku got up from their sitting positions and slowly made their way to the two boys on all fours. (They are in their full demon forms in you didn't know, giant fox and giant raccoon.)

 

“Ok boys, play time is over, lets get down to business” Shukaku said sternly. The boys stopped their playing and quickly made their way to Shukaku on all fours. During the weeks they were together they had learned to walk on both feet but they preferred to move on all fours. It was much more efficient. Once they made it over they both stopped in front of Shukaku and Kyuubi and sat in a hunch.

 

“Ok kits, your training starts today,” As he said this Naruto raised his hand. Kyuubi looked over to him with a warm smile.

 

“Naru-kun you don't have to raise your hand if you want to speak. Just wait for who ever is talking to finish then say what ever you want.” Naruto put his hand down with a smile and a nod. He them motioned to the black robes they were wearing.

 

“I have two questions, first, do we have to wear these black robes every where we go?” He said while pulling down his hood, revealing his fluffy dark red fox ears.

 

“That would be a yes, even though no one can see your tails and ears inside your mind, you must get used to wearing these cloths. Soon these cloths will serve an even bigger purpose.” Naruto nodded obediently before remembering his second question.

 

“Oh um, what will you be teaching us.” Kyuubi and Shukaku looked at each other than back at the two.

 

“Well you will find out right now.” Suddenly Naruto and Gaara's vision began to spin and when it cleared they were both on their knees with their fingers entwined. They were in a clearing a few miles from Konoha. They had come here a few days ago and didn't go back. This would be their training area. It was bright and sunny outside, around twelve o'clock.

 

“Ok kits, for your first lesson I will be lecturing you. Shuka-kun will take care of the physical part of your training.” They both nodded in understanding.

 

“Ok well let's get down to business.” Shukaku said from inside them. “While Kyuubi is lecturing you too, you will be doing exercised to strengthen you body. The first thing you need to do first is stretch. I will send images of what I want you to do and all you need to do is copy them.” They both nodded before starting the stretches that came to there minds. There were incoherent figures doing random stretches and maneuvers in their minds.

 

“Ok, well your first lesson will be about your chakra. Chakra is a form of energy that every living organism has. Human beings, demons, and even some animals have gained the ability to harness this energy for their benefit. Some use this energy…” She continued to lecture them as they did their stretches. After they were done with their stretches, Shukaku send images of different exercises for them to do while simultaneously listening to Kyuubi's lecture.

 

They trained all day. There bodies were still underdeveloped so they couldn't last long and had to take numerous brakes but then they went back to training. Shukaku made sure to push them to their limits each time before he would let them rest. They would only eat the various fruits that grew in the forest. Naruto's obsession with ramen would stop here.

 

At the end of the day Naruto and Gaara lay flat out on the ground. They were both sweating profusely. Naruto lay flat out on the ground huffing and puffing. Gaara was also laid flat out tired as well, only has head was now resting on Naruto's chest. They both had smiles on their face, even though their bodies ached. They knew the training would pay off in the end.

 

From their cage, Kyuubi and Shukaku looked onto the boys proudly. They had really tested the boy's limits, and they had to admit that they were impressed. They boys had great potential and they were going to see that the boys reached their potential. But for now it was time for them to rest. Kyuubi brought them into their cage and let them cuddle into their fur. Shukaku then joined them. Today was just beginning. Their training would only get harder.

 

For the next few weeks the boys followed a strict schedule. From noon to midnight, they would be trained by Kyuubi and Shukaku. Any thing between that was their free time, so they spent the mornings together. They traveled the village in their hooded robes, not noticed by anyone. They would play various games and just be kids. But once noon came, they would make their way to that secluded clearing in the forest and begin their training. Through many grueling exercises Shukaku strengthened their body and chakra capacity. And through Kyuubi's lengthy lectures their intelligence and chakra control increased.

 

They had not begun to learn any jutsu or fighting styles in those weeks but that training started today. It was ten minutes to eleven and as usual they made their way to the clearing, this time from the Konoha Park. They jumped from tree to tree, their bodies more than fit enough now to do the task. They traveled through the tree side by side, perfectly balanced, not wasting a step. They stayed low and thrust forward from each branch simultaneously. Their arms stayed in the same position as to not pick up wind resistance. Their hands were in both their sleeves in front of them. They had found this position to be very efficient, and comfortable.

 

Once they neared the clearing they both jumped high into the air and began to fall into the clearing. They fell upside down, before flipping over just before they hit the ground and landing in a low squat. As soon as they hit the ground they pulled their hands from their sleeves. But of-course the sleeves were too long and still hung over their hands. They then put all fours on the ground and sat in a hunch. Their tails crept from under their robes and slowly entwined. They then awaited orders.

 

Again Shukaku and Kyuubi found themselves looking upon them with pride. They had become so much stronger and coordinated during those weeks of training. Their balance was superb, both their strength and speed had increase exponentially, and they moved totally in sink with each other. It was time.

 

“Naru-kun, Gaara-kun, we are so proud of you to. You two have grown so much in such little time. We think you are ready to start you're individual training.” Both of the boys eyes widened in surprise.

 

“Kyuubi-chan, what do you mean by “individual” training.” Gaara asked with a hint of panic in his voice. Kyuubi smiled softly.

 

“Like always it will be best to show you.” The boys again felt that all too familiar feeling of their world spinning before they found themselves in Kyuubi and Shukaku's cage. Naruto and Gaara looked up at the two to see that both Kyuubi and Shukaku were in their humanoid forms.

 

“When I say individual I mean that Shukaku and I will train one of you permanently. Don't worry; we will train you so you will be able to fight in balance with one another. We will teach you complementary fighting styles, and you will be training together, but you each will have a different teacher.” Naruto and Gaara looked at each other with reluctance before tightening their grasp on each others tails. Kyuubi watched the two with a smile before looking at Gaara, “Gaara you will train with me, I will teach you jutsu, and many deadly fighting styles. With my training you will soon become one of the most skilled and graceful fighters in the world.”

 

Gaara looked at her in shock. “I'm sorry, Kyuubi-chan but wouldn't I be better suited to be trained by Shukaku-kun. He does control the sand that protects me.” Kyuubi's smile grew wider.

 

“That is true but there is a simple reason why Shuka-kun must train Naru-kun. Shuka-kun's primary element isn't sand but wind. And seeing as how Naru-kun has an affinity for wind, he would be best suited to be trained by Shuka-kun.” Gaara nodded in understanding before looking at Naruto sadly. He then began to move over to Kyuubi while slowly releasing the grip his tails had on Naruto's. Naruto watched Gaara before moving over to Shukaku. Shukaku looked down at Naruto with a smile before ruffling his spiky hair which had grown since his transformation. His wild spiky blonde hair now went down to his shoulders while some branched out in front of his face. It was close to blocking his vision but never got there. Shukaku then moved into the darkness of the cage with Naruto fallowing close behind. Naruto stole one last glance towards Gaara before disappearing into the darkness.

 

Gaara stared sadly in the darkness. It wasn't exactly the current separation that saddened him but the thought that now that they were training separately, they would be spending a lot less time with each other. Kyuubi kneeled down in front of Gaara and raised his chin up so he could look at his face. She then moved his long silky bangs away from his eyes. Gaara's hair had also grown as well but his wasn't as untamed as Naruto's so his spiky red hair fell over his face. It obscured his vision but he didn't want to cut it, he didn't see the need to, he was hoping that if he grew his hair out long enough than he could use some of those hair jutsu that Kyuubi talked about.

 

Kyuubi now looked into Gaara's green eyes and gave him a warm smile. Gaara looked into her dark red eyes and returned the smile. “You will still get to be around Naruto a lot Gaara, there are just some things you two will need to learn separately to compliment each other. And look on the bright side. You are going to be learning from the most feared demon in the world and the sexiest if I do say so myself.” She said walking a little ways away and swinging her hips. She then turned around, winked at him, and motioned for him to follow.

 

Gaara gave a soft giggle before following her into a different part of the cage. Kyuubi smiled, now that Gaara was calmed down, she could train him to his full capacity. She could be playful when she wanted to.

 

Shukaku traveled into the darkness with Naruto following close behind. He looked around, nodded, and stopped. Naruto stopped behind him and stood up, figuring Shukaku wouldn't be in his humans form unless he was going to teach him on two feet. As Shukaku turned around, he caught Naruto staring behind him into the darkness. He knew Naruto was thinking of Gaara.

 

“Naruto” he called out. Naruto snapped his head back and looked down. Shukaku stared at him with his arms crossed. “This is for the best son. Alone I will be able to train you at full capacity. You will become stronger then you ever dreamed.” But his words didn't seem to comfort Naruto.

 

“Did I mention that with your strength you will be able to protect the ones you care for, that includes Gaara.” Naruto then shot his head up with a strong determination.

 

“I will become strong, so I can protect him.” He said while drifting off and gazing into the darkness. Shukaku nodded before getting into a low fighting stance. Naruto backed up as he saw Shukaku take the fighting stance.

 

“What I will teach you is one of the deadliest styles in the world. This is the demon style of hand to hand combat. There are many branches of this style but the ones I will teach are the most deadly. They are the offensive branches. Demon fist, demon claw, and the demon rage styles. Only the most skilled individuals master these styles. I being of the royal raccoon family have mastered these styles and I will pass them on to you. Your training will be brutal and torturous, but when you have mastered it, there will be few who can rival you. Now copy my stances.” Naruto nodded before getting into Shukaku's stance.

 

Shukaku then lunged at Naruto, delivering a bone crushing punch to his chest. Naruto was lifted off of the ground and was sent flying ten feet away. He landed on the ground with a thud. But Shukaku didn't stop; he charged at Naruto, jumped in the air and came down with his fist ready to pound Naruto into the ground. Naruto eyes widened before he rolled away right as Shukaku made a crater in the ground where Naruto used to be. Naruto then began to get pounded to a pulp as he tried to dodge Shukaku's deadly assault.

 

Kyuubi led Gaara into the darkness until she stopped at a certain spot. Gaara followed close behind her looked up at Kyuubi expectantly. Kyuubi turned around with a smile. “First off I will be teaching you my fighting styles. These are some of the most deadly fighting styles in the world, the demon fighting style. There are many branches but I will be teaching fighting styles known for there grace, balance, flexibility. A master of these styles will be almost impossible to hit. They will use their opponent's energy against them to deliver a quick defeat. They will be able to deliver quick and deadly attacks while keeping out of harms way. I intend to teach you the demon palm, dancing demon, and floating demon styles.”

 

She then stood on the tips of her toes. She lifted one leg high in the air in a vertical split. She then brought one arm in front of her and held out her palm. Her other arm was held out on the opposite side. Gaara looked at Kyuubi in aw. He and Naruto both had increased both their balance and flexibility but not at that level. Kyuubi then returned to her normal standing position.

 

“First I will teach you the beginning stances of these styles. Each stance will increase you balance and flexibility. Let us begin, copy my stances.” She said while lowering her self into a split and holding both her palms out in front of her. Gaara nodded and began to copy her stances.

 

At the end of the day Naruto and Gaara woke up in their clearing, their tails entwined. As Naruto woke up he instantly fell over and curled into himself as his entire body ached. Even though the pain was only in his mind it was still real to him. (Think of the matrix) Gaara looked at Naruto with worry before curling up to Naruto. He wrapped his tail around Naruto's tails and pulled Naruto into him. He then began to rub circles into Naruto back while whispering soothing words into his ears. He had learned to do this when Naruto used to have nightmares.

 

Shukaku and Kyuubi watched the two before they turned to each other. Shukaku grabbed her around the waist and picked her up. Kyuubi wrapped her legs around Shukaku's waist. “Did you really have to go so hard on him daddy, it was his first time.”

 

Shukaku smiled before slamming her into the cage with a growl. “This is what we've been training them for. It's not my fault you go so easy on Gaara. He said while nibbling into her neck. “Gaara isn't as tough as Naruto and you know it. Plus we both know Gaara has much better balance and coordination than Naruto. And he has a lot of patience and doesn't have problems focusing like Naruto does. All you're teaching him to do is rip people to shred without a second thought.” Shukaku was to busy with Kyuubi's body to give an answer, he just growled before tearing her cloths off. Kyuubi just rolled her eyes and decided the talking was over. Both boys were being taught the best style suited for them and that was that. As she thought this, her thoughts were interrupted by something big and hard being plunged into her. She decided to save the thinking for later.
