Naruto the Battousai

A/N: I have a quick question; I have received a couple complaints
about my spelling and grammar and just wanted to know if it was so bad that it
actually ruins the fic making it unbearable to read. I do go back and make
edits every so often if I can find any. More people seem to be interested in
faster updates than the occasional spelling or grammar mistake. I do try my
best not to make these mistakes when typing but I am not an English major and
I’m only human. Please tell me what you think. Should I slow the updates down
to check for a few mistakes or should I keep the updates coming at a steady
pace? I would prefer not to have to find a beta because I would like to be able
to do my first fic all on my own. If I write another one after this maybe I
will consider it.

A/N-2: To let everyone know, Naruto will not be some pervert
constantly going after girls later on. The only reason he acted the way he did
at the party was because he had the body of a fifteen year old and when a boy
is that age his hormones are going crazy and Naruto was still getting used to
them since he kind of acquired them rather rapidly and had not had time to
adjust naturally. I am not saying he will not have his occasional perverted
moments for comical purposes though because lets face it all men are perverts
to some degree and it just depends on how well they control and hide it.

A/N-3: I am not sure if I made this clear but when Naruto appears in
his mindscape his mental representation takes on that of his physical body and
vice versa. This means that inside his mind he looks like he is 15 years old
and when he does any physical training in there the effects show on his body in
the real world along with any strength and speed he has gained. The way it
pretty much works is that the mind is telling the body that what is happening
in the mindscape is real and the body believes it and adjusts accordingly. Also
to let everyone know whenever Naruto refers to how old he is after he returns
to the village and becoming a genin he will say how old he is compared to the
number of years he has trained plus the 4 years before he met Kenshin. This
means when he returns to the village he would say that he is 18 even if his
body had technically grown to that of a 23 year old. Once again not a big difference
because a lot of people stop maturing physically after 18 so an 18 year old
having the body of a 23 year old is not that big of a difference.

Chapter 6: What!

The next day at dawn Naruto awoke and began his normal morning routine. As
Naruto left to begin his new training with Kenshin, he grabbed his new sword
with a smile on his face and headed out the door.

Upon arriving at the normal training ground Naruto found his sensei holding
his head and moaning about the evils of alcohol causing Naruto to laugh
remembering his sensei’s actions the night before.

This alerted Kenshin to Naruto presence and greeted him.

“Morning Naruto-kun I hope you had a good time last night” asked Kenshin.

“It was fun sensei but it could have ended better” replied Naruto a little
disappointed with how the night ended causing Kenshin to chuckle.

“Ah yes, I remember your attempts with Megumi-chan last night. You’re lucky
she did not notice your attempts or you would probably have gotten hit on the
back of the head like me.” Kenshin said still chuckling.

“Oh well, you’re probably right sensei. Anyways what do you say we get
started” said Naruto trying to redirect the conversation away from his failure
last night.

“As you wish Naruto-kun. Now that you have shown you have mastered the
basics, I will begin to tech you more advanced forms to fight with including my
personal style of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu and its sub-art Battojutsu. Your training
from here on out will be much different from what you are used to. You will
begin you’re physical training to increase your speed to go along with the new techniques
you shall learn. You will also no longer have lectures to listen to, but
instead spend more time refining your ability with the sword. You have probably
already noticed that it ways more than your old tachi and it will take you
awhile to get used to the weight. Because you will no longer be having academic
lessons with me you will also have more free time to spend however you like
later on in the day. We will usually only spend the mornings together training
then you will be free to do as you like, be it training more by yourself or
socializing with your fellow comrades around the base which I greatly recommend
since you are now a member of the rebellion. You will be spending much time
together with these people on missions and on the battlefield and I suggest you
get to know them getter in order to work more smoothly with them” said Kenshin.

“As you wish sensie. What shall we begin with first?” Asked Naruto.

“First I shall demonstrate the first technique of the Hiten Mitsurugi you
shall learn while you refine your skills” said Kenshin stepping away from
Naruto and heading towards a practice dummy.

“This technique is called Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu Ryutsuisen which is also one
of my personal favorites. The Ryutsuisen is a sword-drop technique delivered
from above, targeting the crown of the head or the shoulder of the adversary”
Kenshin said.

Upon finishing his speech Kenshin launched himself into the air unsheathing
his katana and bringing it down upon the crown of the dummies head cleanly
slicing it in two.

“The key to this technique lays in the height gained from the user’s jump
and the free-fall, which is applied to the sword to multiply the force of the
sword-stroke.” Kenshin said walking back to the wide eyed Naruto.

Naruto quickly got himself back under control and tried the new technique on
another training dummy only to fail miserably.

“Do not feel bad Naruto, in order to master all aspects of the Hiten
Mitsurugi-Ryu takes many years, much longer than you shall spend with me. This
is why while you are here I will try to teach you as much as I can and show you
everything I can. When it is time for you to leave me I will give you certain
scrolls detailing my techniques so that you may continue to learn on your own.”
Kenshin said trying to make Naruto feel better.

Naruto spent the rest of that morning with Kenshin between learning how his
physical training would proceed, trying to learn the new technique, and sparing
to refine his skills.

After the morning was over and Kenshin had left Naruto stayed behind
deciding to spend the rest of the day on additional training since he was still
getting used to the new weight of his blade and wanting to learn the new
technique sooner.

As the evening was getting late Naruto headed home and to bed so that he
could resume his training with Kyuubi which he had noticed had been eerily
silent all day.

As Naruto arrived in front of Kyuubi’s cage he found the
huge fox waiting for him like normal. For some reason though Naruto could not
help but think the fox looked slightly nervous and distracted, it didn’t even
seem to notice him. Deciding he must be mistaken Naruto spoke up.

 

“So fox what are our plans for today” said Naruto shocking Kyuubi out of its
thoughts and alerting it to his presence.

Kyuubi quickly regained its composure and replied.

“Today kit we shall begin your physical training to go along with your
physical training with Kenshin. This is where those seals I taught you will
come into play like I said they would.”

“I want you to draw that gravity seal you learned onto your chest”
said Kyuubi, which Naruto complied.

“Good, now I want you to channel some of your chakra into the seal and
see what happens” said Kyuubi with a hint of a smile.

Not quite sure where the fox was going with this Naruto once again complied
none the less. Upon channeling his chakra though Naruto quickly crashed into
the floor creating a crater three meters wide and causing him to feel like he
had broken every bone in his body. This immediately earned a loud laugh from
Kyuubi.

Wiping tears of amusement from its eyes with its paw Kyuubi spoke up.

“Ok kit now that I got my good laugh for today out of the way why don’t
you try reducing the amount of chakra you put into the seal until you can
stand” Kyuubi said still chuckling a little and using a bit of its chakra
to heal some of Naruto’s injuries.

Once Naruto reduced the amount of chakra into the seal he shakily got up
straining a little under the new weight exerted upon him.

“You know fox you could of warned me ahead of time” said Naruto with fake
irritation. You see over the years he and Kyuubi had grown to enjoy messing
with each other and Naruto new what the fox did was only in good fun and even
though he would not admit it to the fox, Naruto too thought it was a little
funny.

“Yes I could have kit but then it would not have been as funny seeing you
once again going overboard with your chakra. Anyways though, I want you from
here on out to constantly keep that seal active and when you return to the real
world I want you to redo the seal there also. I will leave it up to you to
decide how much additional weight you can stand since it is your responsibility
to become stronger.” Said Kybubi but becoming once again a little nervous,
which Naruto thought he saw but shrugged off.

“Now I will tell you about the second part of your training that I now
feel you are ready for. Starting today you will finally begin to learn
different jutsus” said Kyuubi growing more nervous, but this time Naruto
didn’t even notice due to his excitement at the prospect of finally learning
jutsus.

“This however will require me to transform into my human form so that I
may demonstrate the different jutsus and show you the proper hand signs”
Kyuubi said nervous at the idea of Naruto seeing its human form.

This reason for this was simple. In over a thousand years Kyuubi had not
once shown a mortal its human form and had no idea what the young man’s
reaction would be whom it had come to consider the only friend it had ever had.
Kyuubi did not know when its feelings for Naruto had become to change from
contempt to friendship, but it now new that in the thousand years it had come
to be alive it had never valued the opinion of someone so much as the young man
that now stood before it. The very prospect of him reacting negatively to its
appearance would be devastating. Kyuubi knew how magnificent and it looked in
its fox form due to peoples reactions to seeing it over the years but since it
had never shown any human what its human form looked like it had no idea what
to think of it.

As far as Naruto, well, he had not even known that the fox had a human form.
He tried to imagine what it looked like and the best he could think of was some
huge man covered in orange fur wearing thick armor, bulging muscles, having
nine massive tails with razor sharp fur, and razor sharp claws.

This image however did not help him at all when the Kyuubi began to change.

After finishing its transformation Naruto was completely thrown for a loop
gape at the form before him. In all of his wildest dreams he would have never
thought the fox would look like this.

The only thing that remotely matched the previous image he had of what the
fox would look like was its nine tails and even they were not what he expected.

Standing there before him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She
had long flowing red hair, a beautiful slender face with red eyes, soft full
lips, and high cheekbones. She had a rather voluptuous and endowed athletic figure
standing about 5’8”, wearing a beautiful red kimono gown, her body was not
covered in fur at all from what he could see, her nails were perfectly manicured
and non razor like, and looked completely human with the exception of and her
nine, long, red, feminine looking, fur covered tails that looked incredibly
soft and had little white tips on the end.

Naruto was so shocked that he only was able to process the most obvious
thing he could tell and uttered the first thing that came to his mind.

“You’re, you’re a female” Naruto said in disbelief.

This was a HUGE mistake on Naruto’s part and seemed to only earn him the
newly revealed female’s anger.

“OF COURSE I’M FEMALE WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!” Shouted Kyuubi voice full
of anger then turning away from the young man to hid the hurt look on her face
but not before Naruto caught it.

Realizing that he had hurt the the women’s feelings with his rather blatant
statement Naruto quickly got his shock under control and apologized.

“I’m sorry Kyuubi-chan I was just so shocked since you always talked with
such a deep voice when in your fox form that I was a little taken aback and
reacted foolishly, please forgive me” said Naruto with voice full of remorse
not even realizing he had called her Kyuubi-chan.

This slip up however did not go unnoticed by Kyuubi and caused her to smile
upon actually hearing that Naruto thought of her as a friend whether it was
intentional or not.

After regaining her composure Kyuubi turned back around.

“Its ok Naruto-kun, you don’t have to apologize. I guess it is a little
my fault since I do try to hide my being a female to others.” Said Kyuubi
forgiving the blond and purposefully calling him Naruto-kun in order to let him
know that she thought of him as a friend too.

This statement however confused the blond.

“Why would you want others not to know your female though?” asked Naruto.

“The answer’s simple. Do you really think people would really be as
afraid of me if they knew I was a woman? Do you know how much harder it would
be to earn others respect if they knew I was female?” Asked Kyuubi with
anger thinking of how sexist society is.

“I guess your right but I would still like to apologize once again for my
reaction. I just want you to know I still respect you just as much I did before
I knew you were a woman.”

Kyuubi couldn’t help but smile at this. She couldn’t help but being happy
that her fears were unjustified and that he didn’t think any less of her. She
should have known that Naruto would be her friend no matter what.

“Thank you Naruto-kun but like I said there is no need to apologize. Why
don’t we just begin our training for today?” Said Kyuubi still feeling very
happy.

“OK Kyuubi-chan what do you want to teach me first?” asked Naruto relieved
that she did not still feel angry at him.

“Well in the beginning I will instruct you in the basic jutsus you should
know that you would learn in the academy. After you have mastered these I will
begin to teach different jutsus I have picked up in my travels while fighting
shinobi from different villages. I start out by teaching you lower leveled ones
but as you grow accustomed to using these I will gradually raise the level of
the jutsus I teach you. This will give you a wider elemental range of jutsus
than most shinobi with the exception for nukekinins since most shinobi
belonging to a village only have experience with their villages element specialization.”

“Now why don’t you get some rest and when you wake up we’ll begin your
new training” Kyuubi said in a friendly tone.

Although Kyuubi had forgiven him Naruto still felt kind of bad for the way
he reacted especially after all the help Kyuubi had given him and wanted some
way to repay her. After a bit of thinking as he got in the bed he had just
mentally created, it hit him and he turned around to face Kyuubi once more.

“Kyuubi-chan I have one quick question before I go to bed” Naruto said not
giving away what he was thinking.

“What is it Naruto-kun?” ask Kyuubi

“Well when I first came here you said that I could create anything I wanted
in here but you also said I could make it look however I wanted, was that
true?” Naruto asked with a bit of hope in his voice.

“Yes, why do you ask?” replied Kyuubi not quite sure where Naruto was going
with this.

Naruto just smiled and said

“I know you already forgave me for the way I acted but I also wanted to do
something for you as a way of saying thank you for everything you have done for
me”

Naruto then closed his eyes and concentrated when he opened them once more
the inside of Kyuubi’s cage had changed. Instead of just being some huge dark
and dirty cell, it now looked like the inside of a luxurious penthouse suite.
Inside in behind the bars that still remained due to the half seal that
remained on them was a large training room Kyuubi could use to demonstrate the
different jutsus she would be teaching. In the room directly back was a massive
master bedroom complete with a fluffy four poster king sized bed and master
bathroom that had a huge bathtub with scented oils and lotions. To the right of
the training room was a room that came with a sauna and a huge hot tub. Finally
to the training rooms left was a complete kitchen stocked with everything you
could think of, just because you did not need to eat while in the mindscape did
not make food any less enjoying.

After he finished his work Naruto told Kyuubi to go check it out and let him
know what she thought.

When Kyuubi was done seeing everything Naruto had created for her she wanted
nothing more than to envelope him in a huge hug but because of the bars keeping
her from him she just had to settle on a deep heart felt thanks which Naruto
waved off saying it was the least he could do.

After Naruto went to bed Kyuubi was left alone with her thoughts.

She could not get over what Naruto had done for her. Sure it may not have
taken too much effort on his part but it was the first nice thing anyone had
ever done for her.

Kyuubi knew Naruto thought he was only repaying her for everything she had
taught him but the truth was he had already repaid her by allowing her to
experience everything he did when he ripped the seal in half. She just couldn’t
help she needed to do something for Naruto for what he had given her but
because of her being stuck inside his head she could only think of one thing.
The only problem with it was she did not know if he would be willing to accept
the side effects of her gift. She would just have to wait till he woke up to
see what he thinks. With that Kyuubi headed back to her new bed and lay down to
fall into the most peaceful sleep she had had in ten years.

The next day Naruto awoke only to find that for once Kyuubi
was not waiting for him. Naruto walked up to the bars to get a better look only
to see the door to her new bedroom open and her still lying asleep and to his amusement
slightly snoring.

 

Naruto decided to let her sleep in till she woke up since it was the first
night she had had a bed to sleep in ten years.

Since she had not shown him any jutsus to practice yet he just began some
physical workouts with the added weight of the gravity seal.

When Kyuubi finally woke up and exited her bedroom she found that Naruto was
already up and working out.

Naruto saw that Kyuubi had just come out and quickly finished what he was
doing before greeting her.

“Morning Kyuubi-chan, I see your finally up” greeted Naruto to the sleepy
eyed woman and chuckling slightly at her bed head but not saying anything about
it.

“Morning Naruto-kun how long have you already been up for?” Kyuubi
asked.

“Oh, only about three hours. I’ve mainly just been trying to get my physical
exercises out of the way before you woke up.” Naruto replied.

“Why did you let me sleep in so long though? I could have been helping
you train.” Kyuubi asked.

“Well I was going to but when I saw you sleeping so peacefully I couldn’t
bring myself to do it. Plus it was funny hearing you snoring” chuckled Naruto.

“I DO NOT SNORE!” Shouted Kyuubi in indignation.

“Whatever you say Kyuubi-chan” chuckled Naruto.

“I don’t snore” pouted Kyuubi quietly while crossing her arms over
her chest.

“Come on Kyuubi-chan don’t pout. I think your snoring is kinda cute” said
Naruto like it was nothing but still causing the woman to blush due to him
calling her snoring cute.

After regaining her composure Kyuubi replied.

“Well if you are going to tease me all day Naruto-kun maybe I won’t give
you the gift I was planning to give you.” Kyuubi teased back.

“What gift?” Naruto asked now intrigued.

“I know you said you were saying thank you for me teaching you by giving
my cell a new look but to be honest everything I did was part of the deal we
made, so I wanted to return the favor. The only problem is I’m not sure you’ll
want what I’m willing to give you.” Kyuubi said a little more reserved.

“What do you mean Kyuubi-chan? Why wouldn’t I want your gift?” Naruto asked
even more curious.

“Naruto-kun, do you remember how some of the people in your village had
certain bloodlines allowing them special abilities?”

“Ya, why do you ask?”

“Well, like you humans some of us demons have certain bloodlines too.
What I would like to do is grant you my bloodline called the Genkaku Boushi (Illusionary
Eye). Reason for me having this is because with the amount of chakra I have,
I have trouble performing Illusion attacks. I usually am unable to not use too
much chakra thus making my illusion unstable. To remedy this fact I draw upon
my bloodline to focus my chakra into using just the right amount to make the
illusion work. I believe you may have the same problem with genjutsus due to
your incredibly large reserve of chakra as well. The bonus to this bloodline is
that like the sharingan of your village it too has a special ability in its
mature form. It is called the Genjitsu Yousai, this move allows you to make any
genjutsu real whether it was by your creation or not. The only problem with it
though is that it would take a good chunk of your chakra to perform. It is not
so bad for me but since, and no offence, your chakra reserves are nowhere near
mine you would find your chakra depleted quite quickly from constant use
without allowing your body to produce more.” Kyuubi explained.

“I am not really seeing a downside her Kyuubi-chan” stated Naruto still
waiting for the catch.

“I was just getting to that Naruto-kun. Like I said this is a demonic BLOODline
and because of this it would require that you have some of my demonic blood
running through your veins. We demons can grant mortals the power to be half
demons should we choose but most would never want to. If you do accept this
gift it will literally turn you into a half demon, not enough to cause any
noticeable changes right away, but it will affect how you age. Unlike normal
humans, once you reach your peak physical age you will cease to grow old. It
will not grant you eternal life but it will give you in all essence eternal
youth. The problem with this besides being classified as a half demon is that
as the people around you continue to grow old and you do not they will know
that you are not completely human, not to mention you will not grow old with
whoever you find as your mate unless they too ask you to make them a half
demon. The only way I can think of so that people do not know what you are is
to use a genjutsu to make it appear you are gradually growing older. This
however will not change the fact of you having to live knowing you are half
demon” Kyuubi said understanding if Naruto was unable to accept this.

After thinking it over a bit Naruto decided.

“I understand what you are telling me Kyuubi-chan but the truth is everyone
in my village already thinks of me as a demon and no decent woman would ever
want to be with me. I personally have nothing against being a demon because all
I have to do is look at you to know that it is not a bad thing and that it is
only a state of being. What I am trying to say is that I would be honored
Kyuubi-chan to accept your gift” replied Naruto without even the slightest bit
of doubt in his decision.

Kyuubi could not believe what she was hearing and not feel happy and sad at
the same time.

She was happy that her one and only friend had nothing against her being a
demon but could not help but be sad that he thought no woman would ever want to
be with him.

“Ok Naruto, if that is your decision then we shall begin the
transformation. We will have to put off training for today since the
transformation will take about the rest of the time we have together before you
will have to return to the real world. I must warn you that this will
definitely be the most painful thing you have ever experienced”said Kyuubi
with a twinge of guilt for what she was about to do to him even if he said he
did want it.

At Naruto’s nod to begin she started the transformation.

When Kyuubi said it would be painful she was not kidding. Naruto felt as if
thousands of knives were being shoved into him all over. He screamed in pain
until his voice was course then finally falling into the mercy of unconsciousness.

Once Naruto finally awoke he found Kyuubi standing behind the bars of her
cage gripping them tightly staring down at him with tears in her eyes.

Naruto slowly got up and walked over to her. He then reached through the
bars and wiped the tears away from her eyes while softly telling her he was ok.

“I’m so sorry Naruto-kun I never should have asked you to accept my
bloodline, I have caused you so much pain that you must hate me.” Kyuubi
said between small sobs with tears threatening to flow from her eyes once more.

“There is no need to be sorry Kyuubi-chan. I already told you it was what I
wanted and I thank you. You are a good friend for what you have given me.”
Naruto said softly.

Kyuubi was glad that Naruto did not hate her for what she did but for some
reason she could not tell she felt a slight pain in her heart when he had only
called her a good friend.

Only noticing that she new Naruto did not hate her he told Kyuubi that he
should probably go since he would need to get some rest before his training
with Kenshin tomorrow.

With that they said goodbye to each other and Naruto headed back to the real
world leaving Kyuubi to think over the cause once more of the pain in her heart
when Naruto had called her a good friend.

A/N: AHAHAHA I bet you guys thought I would get
Kyuubi and Naruto together in this chapter with the way things were going
towards the end. Well no such luck. Don’t worry though it is coming up soon and
I plan on adding a fight seen in the next chapter, but nothing ninja related. I
don't want to here if you think Kyuubi is OOC. I have made her female in this
story which in my opinion gives me the option to change her personality a
little. I can’t believe it this is my longest chapter yet, braking 5,000 words.
I know I had made no mention of a bloodline but I wanted it to be a surprise.
This will not be some all powerful bloodline like most bloodline stories have.
It will mainly be used just so he can do genjutsus since he kind of sucks at
them in most stories due to him having so much chakra. Next chapter will be the
last one with Kenshin for a good while. I did plan on putting in a few
occasional lemons in this story since the reason for the possible NC-17 parts
rating at the top of each chapter. I would make sure to put a warning before
any of them and I do feel I could write them fairly well. These however will
usually not be for smut purposes. I see them as a way of showing the deep
emotional love between people. I plan on characters making love and not just
sex. I may put in one or two smut scenes if people really want them once I get
a few girls in the harem, I will let you guys tell me if you really want that.
I will not be offended in anyway if you do want them because even I have been
in the mood for a good smut read every once in awhile. Please remember to
review and tell me what you think.
