Ch 17

Hi, Yagura Thank you for coming back to the village. Yes, Mizukage-sama. Did you find any information about the man pretending to be Madara Uchiha? No, I went through all of the 5 great nations, but I did not get any information about him. Whatever his plans are, he is keeping it quiet at this time. But I do have some valuable information. There is a lot of underlying tension between Konoha and the Sand village. The reason for it is the daimyo that usually gives all of their missions to the Sand village. Right now Konoha is getting most of those missions. With losing 4 major clans, Danzo's root, they are much easier to be a target to be attacked than ever in history. That is valuable information; thank you, Yagura. I have called you back because I want you to train the 9-tails jinchuriki. The 9-tails jinchuriki is here, Itachi? Yes, it came with the 3 major clans from Konoha. His name is Naruto Namikaze. Namikazae? You mean this is Minato's son? Yes, he is researching the Hirashan. We made him one of the 7 swordsmen of the Mist. He will be the wielder of the Hiramekeri. We want you to help him with mastering the 9-tails chakra so he can imbue that chakra into the Hiramekeri. That makes sense. Is there anything else? Yes, Yagura. He uses shadow clones, and once they dispel, he gets their memories. He will use his shadow clone for his swordsman training, his wind chakra nature, and the ones that are studying the Hirashian. His physical body will be with you. You will have to mix in training. His wrists, forearms, core, and shoulder and back muscles are the ones that he will have to focus on. That makes sense, Itachi.

Yagura went to Naruto's household to pick him up. He knocked on the door and was greeted by a gray-haired man. Hi Yagura, I am Naruto's adoptive father, Kakashi. I will let Naruto know to come outside. Thank you, Kakashi. Naruto, grab your ninja equipment; Yagura is here. Sounds good. Naruto came outside to see Yagura the Mizukage before Itachi outside his door. Thank you for training me, Yagura-sama. Naruto said it very respectfully. Naruto I was a disgraceful Mizukage; there is no reason to address me respectfully. Alright, Naruto, there is a place we are going to walk to for your training; follow me. Yagura took Naruto to a secluded cave where the beach was visible. There was barely any sound or anything coming out of the cave. So Naruto, do you know that I have full control of my Biju? Yes, Yagura, I know. Well, how you do that is by talking with the Biju in your mind. You have to try to make friends with them or learn how to work with them. Each Biju has a different personality, so I cannot guarantee that what worked with my Biju will work with yours. But places like this cave are key. You want to find places that you find calming to enter your mindscape. Your mindscape is the area within your mind that you communicate with your Biju. The Biju's chakra is coercive and very harsh. So usually the biju slowly increases the chakra it gives you with time to not kill you. That process naturally takes a long time, so do not get discouraged with you not getting it quickly. So what I want you to do is close your eyes, clear your mind, and imagine being in a place where you speak to your Biju. It may take a few hours for you to make first contact. After 2 hours, Yagura saw Naruto have orange chakra surrounding him, and then he knew that Naruto must have entered the Mindscape.

Naruto opened his eyes into a watery room system. Walking through the watery room system, he came to a massive cage. Inside that massive cage are two massive eyes. The eyes themselves were as big as a small child. He could see the outline of a very large being. This being oozed hatred, and it felt like his hatred was attacking him. Naruto froze for a few moments, taking in the truly magnificent being. Why do you dare enter my domain? The beast hurled at Nauro with tons of malice. I am Naruto Namikaze, and I am trying to reach out to the 9-tailed fox in my mindscape. Let me guess: you hate me, and you want my power. I do not hate you. But yes, I do want your power. Well, I am not giving it to you. I have lived caged with 3 people for a hundred years. And just like them, I will never give you my power! Naruto felt a hateful energy force him awake from his mindsape and saw Yagura. Alright, Naruto What was the nine-tailed beast like? Mean and hateful. Okay, well, that is helpful information. My 3-tailed beast was a little like that in the beginning. Naruto-tailed beasts live very lonely lives. As its container, you are the only person that it can talk to. They can be very guarded and hard to talk to. It is your job to take care of them like they are a guest in your house. The sad reality is, unlike a guest, they cannot ever leave. They cannot do things they enjoy or anything. What I did was every day I would wake up and talk to the 3 tails. These beings have been around for centuries, so they can feel your intentions and emotions much better than a regular person. It will take time, but you may even reach a time where you do not have to be in the midscape to speak with the beast. There is no guarantee that you will be friends with the beast. At the very least, they will respect the effort you put into the relationship over time. Being respected by the beast is much better than being hated. Just be honest about the fact that you will want to use its power, but just be consistent with showing that you are trying to care for them. It is important for you to understand these things since there will be special abilities that the beast gives you. For example, as the 3 tails jinchuriki, I have access to the coral palm technique. It grows when I touch something, which can cause me to immobilize enemies. If I did not have a good relationship with my biju, then I would have never been able to use it to the degree I can. Nobody has ever been able to master the 9 tails as a jinchuriki, so we genuinely do not know what abilities you will have. Does all of that make sense, Naruto? Yes, thank you for the advice, Yagura.

Okay, next I will talk about handling the tailed beast's power. Do you know what the worst possible character trait is for a Jinchuriki? No Yagura. The worst trait is someone who cannot handle his own emotions. When you are not in control of your emotions, you will tap into the jinchuriki's power to a degree beyond your possible control of it. So just be very aware if you are feeling sad for a certain reason and using these powers, okay? Yes, Yagura, thank you for the advice. Alright, I was told that you have to work certain muscle groups. Let's go ahead and do that right now. After about a 3-hour workout, Naruto was very tired. Alright, Naruto, where do you like to eat? Ramen! Ramen is the food of gods. Do you like Ramen Yagura? Ramen is okay, but there is a good ramen spot that has a seafood-filled one, so we can go there. Woo! Free ramen!!! Yagura took Naruto to the ramen spot that he told him about; he always ate a lot, but Naruto ate more ramen than him, which definitely surprised him. He looked over to see Naruto's very content and happy face and grinned a little bit. So Naruto, what is your goal? I will become the next Mizukage; believe it! You were Mizukage; what is it like? Well, you have to treat the village as your family. You have to be a good example to others and make sure that everything is thought through. Obviously, you have to be at least one of the top 5 strongest fighters in the village as well. I am sure you know I was put under genjutsu by an Uchiha, so I am not the best example. Naruto, you should consider yourself very lucky that I am not dead. Every other Kage in the world from the 5 great nations would have killed me in that situation. Itachi, who believes in his beliefs so strongly about changing the Ninja world system, is the only one that would have spared me. But it is not like you did anything wrong on purpose, Yagura. No, of course I would never do the blood limit killings on purpose. Naruto, you have to understand that it would have been so easy for Itachi to kill me and paint me as a bad person. It would have been easier for him to lie to the people of the mist to gain their trust for his rule to be stable. He chose to tell the truth. Because of that, the people that bought into my bloodline purge thought processes liked him less. Alright, let's head back for more training, Naruto. Yes, Yagura-sama! I said you do not have to be respectful in your speech to me, Naruto. Well, I disagree with you. You were a Mizukage who honorably served his role. To me, you are not a disgrace, Yagura! Believe it! As someone who will be Mizukage one day, I will speak to you respectfully as the 4th Mizukage! Yagura was surprised by the firmness of Naruto's beliefs. He could see that Naruto had the mental strength to follow through with his words. He knew now that Naruto becoming Mizukage was not that impossible. Alright, Naruto, I will allow you to call me that. Let's head back to the cave. Yes, Yagura-sama!

Alright, Shino, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and Chojuro I will explain your class schedule for the next two years. In case you forgot, my name is Zabuza Momochi. First, I will explain the setting arrangement. As you can see, we are in a smaller room than the normal classroom with only 5 seats. Over the next two years, I want you guys to get closer, become friendly, and have good rivalries, so this seating supports that. So basically the first part of the day will be the exact same as the other kids with your normal daily academy lessons. There will be an additional 4-hour block of work that normal kids in the academy do not have. The first 2 hours of this block are sword training. We will be going over different sword swings and the purposes behind them. You will all leave this academy mastering the basics of sword training.In those other 2 hours, we will do work on the Justu you need to master. For Hinata, that will be imbuing your sword with lightning chakra. For Sasuke, that will be mastering lightning chakra. For Chojuro, that will be making your Water Ninjutsu stronger. For Shino, that will be for making your bigs take off the exploding tags from your sword. For Naruto, you will expel the shadow clone that is here to get your memories to your main body training with the 9 tails chakra. These are the first steps for all of you, okay? Yes, Zabuza, all 5 of them said at once.

Alright, everyone come here. Since class is over, we will start with our sword training. The first sword strike is the downward slash. It is when you bring the sword above your head and slash down. You will all do this movement for the rest of the day. We will have you guys master one slash movement at a time until you have mastered all of the basic slashes. For the people who have never held a sword, it will probably take about 6 months to do this. For Chojuro, who has been working with a sword since he was young, it will probably take 2 months. Zabuza saw that Shino, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata were having real trouble after an hour of doing the same sword swing. Chojuro was looking like this was really easy for him, and it made him happy that the others could see his positive example. After the next hour, Shino, Naruto, and Sasuke and Hinata looked like they could barely hold up their arms; they were so sore. Chojuro looked like he was tired but not nearly as bad as the others. Alright, Hinata and Sasuke go to Kakashi and work on mastering your lightning chakra. Shino, go work on making your bugs take the explosive tags off the sword. Naruto, expel your shadow clone. Chojuro, come with me. Yes, Zabuza, all of them said back as they all left.

Hi Chojuro, We will work on your water ninjutsu, okay? Yes, Zabuza! Zabuza brought Chojuro to the ocean and made Chojuro start building up water chakra and focus on trying to focus on gathering it in one spot. After 2 hours, Chojuro was still unable to do the drill, which was expected for someone doing it for the first time. Chojuro, it is time to go home. I want to tell you something before you leave. What is it, Zabuza? You will have to master the sword strikes as soon as possible. Do not match your pace to the others. The reason why is that after you master it, you will have more time to work on your water ninjutsu. Your potential is being a water ninjutsu specialist. Okay, Zabuza I will do it. Zabuza felt good that at least one of the young 5 swordsmen would be a water ninjutsu specialist. It was important because their 7 swordsmen of the Mist history were filled with great water ninjutsu users, and with Chojuro, the tradition could continue.

( The next chapter will be when they are graduating from the academy and being a part of their gennin teams. I will have to create some original characters, so this upcoming chapter may not be done until 2 weeks after this chapter is published today. )
