Training Begins
A/N: Wow four reviews, three +++++ votes and 146 hits in just three days… I must be doing something right. I’m glad that you are all enjoying the story so far and it’s only just started.
A special thank you to _Kinkey_Kitsune_, dead_poetess and ChrissyCrimson for your reviews they really do mean alot to me and are the main reason I enjoy doing this.
Now then... Back to our story. ^_^
++==++==++==++==++
The sun wasn’t even up when Raven walks silently into Naruto’s room and picks the still sleeping boy up and gently cradles him in his arms before walking down stairs and out the back door. ‘Time to start your training Runt.’
In the center of the back yard (or the training field that serves as the back yard) is a small pond roughly 10 foot in diameter and about 7 foot deep. Raven walks over towards the waters edge before focusing chakra into his feet. He then proceeds to walk to the very center of the pond, where the water id the deepest and drops Naruto.
Less then three seconds after the small boy’s body breaks the surface of the icy cold water his head pops up as he lets out an ear splitting screech the somehow manages to wake up the entire village. Raven pays the boys ungodly volume no attention as he grabs the back of Naruto’s shirt before the boy is able to fall below the surface again. “Now that you’re up we can begin.”
“Be…begin… begin what?” the soaked child stutters through chattering teeth.
Raven carries the shivering boy towards the shore as he answers. “Your training of course,” Raven answers. “And the first lesson you just learned is the a shinobi must never lets guard down, even when sleeping.”
“But… but you never… you never said anything about trying to drown me,” Naruto stammers as Raven hands him a set of dry training clothes.
“I didn’t want to ruin the surprise,” Raven grins. “Listen Naruto I told you last night that this training would be intense and that there would be plenty of times you may hate me for doing this to you,” he tells the young boy while kneeling before him. “But theses lessons are necessary if you are to become the greatest shinobi ever.”
Seeing the boy’s face go from one f sadness to a look of determination causes Raven to grin. “Now that I’ve got your full attention I can tell you the training regiment you’re going to follow until I say otherwise. First of all we will begin physical training at 5am every day. This portion of the training will focus on increasing your strength, speed and stamina and will continue until noon. You will have half an hour for lunch before we continue on to your reading and writing lessons, which will last until dinnertime when you get another half hour to eat and relax. After that we will begin your etiquette and cultural lessons until bed time.”
“Physical and reading I can understand,” Naruto says as he finishes dressing. “But what are etiquit and culteril lessons?”
“Etiquette and Cultural,” Raven corrects the boy with a smile. “Basically they teach you manners and how act in polite company. These skills are very important to a shinobi on deep cover and diplomatic assignments.” Naruto nods his understanding as Raven reaches into his coat and pulls out a scroll. “Now I’ve got a few errands to run but I’ll be back in time for lunch and to start on your lessons,” he tells Naruto as he unrolls the scroll on the ground.
Raven bites his thumb, causing it to bleed before smearing the blood across the writing on the scroll. “Some of my friends will look after you until I return,” he tells the wide-eyed boy as he performs several rapid hand seals before slapping his hand down on the scroll. There is suddenly a large poof of smoke and as the smoke begins to clears three dozen large wolves suddenly appear between a now slack jawed Naruto and a still calm Raven.
“Hoga.. Koga come forward,” Raven says as he puts the now rerolled scroll away. Two identical white wolves step forward and sit in front of Raven awaiting instructions. “Hoga,” Raven says addressing the wolf on the right, “Naruto is to run around the pond for an hour then rest for ten minutes before running for another hour,” he tells the animal. “You will keep pace and time for him,” Raven says as the wolf nods. “If I’m not back by noon take him back to the house and wait for me there.” Again the wolf nods before moving away from Raven to stand beside a slightly scared Naruto.
“Koga,” Raven says addressing the other wolf. “You’re incharge until I get back,” he tells the animal as it nods in understanding. “You and the others are to guard Naruto with your lives and if anyone tries to harm the boy you are to execute them immediately and send Shunta to notify me.” The wolf once again nods before turning around to face the others of its pack. They all nod in unison before quickly vanishing in various directions to patrol the area leaving Koga and a small wolf cub to lie down in the field watching Hoga and Naruto.
Raven looks at Naruto and offers the boy a warm smile. “Don’t worry Naruto he says in a friendly voice. They won’t let anything happen to you, I promise.” Raven looks up and notices the position of the now higher sun before looking back at the boy. “I’ve got to go know but I’ll be back as soon as I can,” With that he took of down the bath leading from the training field towards the village.
“Raven-sama said for you to run,” Hoga says shocking the poor boy. Naruto is more frightened by the fact that the animal can speak then by the snarling gruff voice it speaks with. “You run,” the beast tells Naruto before snapping at the terrified boy causing him to run as fast as he can around the pond with Hoga hot on his heels. Everytime Naruto started to slow down Hoga would snap at his butt causing the boy to pick the pace back up to avoid being bitten. This scene caused the two watching to laugh in voices that were clearly not human and yet not entirely animal either.

A/N: Sorry about the short chapter but with everything I had planed for this particular day it would have been way too long so I’m breaking it down into three separate chapters. BTW how do you all like the wolves? Don’t ask me where the idea came from it just popped in my head and wouldn’t leave. Sometimes my muse can be a brat that way but then again her ideas usually turn out being real good so I’m not complaining… too much. LOL
Please remember to R&R and to keep checking back to see what happens next.
