35 Chapter 35: Training

We made our way through the village, and I was irked by the amount of glares and whispers that followed us. Naruto simply ignored them, though I could see even his patience was wearing thin, as he flinched slightly and growled in annoyance when he heard someone call him "Demon!"

Quickening my pace, we eventually made it to the Mitarashi Compound. Opening the door, we entered, and Naruto looked around in amazement.

"Whoa~ Aunty, you live here?"

Smiling at him, I said "Yup, I live here now. My... wife, Anko Mitarashi, owns the land."

He turned to me, his eyes wide.

"Really! That's so cool! You know, when I get older I'm going to have a home like this! Believe it!"

Chuckling at him, I ruffled his hair. "Come on, there's a small training spot towards the back."

Leading him around the main building, we eventually made it to a large sand pit, with a few wooden posts sticking out in the back. Nodding my head in appreciation, I was glad I chose the company I did; the landscaping was quite nice to have completed.

"Alright, you know how to sense your own chakra, right?"

Nodding, Naruto stared at me, serious.

"Good. Has your teacher started making you do the Leaf Concentration yet?"

Nodding again, I smiled, before moving towards a tree. Grabbing a few leaves, I handed one to him.

"Show me."

Taking a deep breath, he gently took the leaf from my hand and placed it on his brow. Moments later, he let his hand drop, but the leaf was stuck to his forehead.

I let him stand there for a minute, before plucking the leaf from his brow.

Smiling at him, I said "Can you do that with multiple leaves?"

He looked at me in confusion. "I... I don't know; I've never tried."

Smirking, I handed him two leaves. "Place one on each of your arms. We are going to get you used to concentrating your chakra on various points of the body simultaneously. Some jutsu require you to have chakra in multiple parts of your body. Activating multiple jutsu is also a reason to train this..."

Before he could start, I took two leaves, saying "Watch me first. Do it like this; makes it much easier."

Holding my arm out, wrist up, I placed a leaf on it, before holding it in place with my chakra. Flipping my arm over, the leaf that was laying on top of my wrist was now clinging to it via my chakra.

Looking towards him, I gestured for him to do the same.

Taking a deep breath, he copied me. Allowing the leaf to stick to his forearm, he moved to place the other leaf on his other arm. However, as he tried to flow chakra towards it, the first leaf fluttered to the ground.

He looked down at it, before picking it up again.

Watching him attempt to get the leaves to stick to his body, I chuckled at his growing annoyance.

Before he could slam the ground in anger, I said "Hard, isn't it?"

He turned towards me, pouting. "Why can't I get it?"

"It's hard at first, but once you figure it out, you can easily add a third, fourth, and so on. You just need to be able to split your concentration between multiple things. Sadly, there is no shortcut to getting it done; at least none that I know of. This is one of the things you need to start doing everyday. Even when you manage to get the second one to stick, keep practicing by adding more. Once you feel comfortable doing it, then you can proceed to the next thing, which is Tree Walking."

Seeing his confusion, I sighed. Walking towards a tree, I coated the sole of my feet in chakra, before gently placing them on the trunk. Feeling my foot stick to the tree, I brought my other foot up, standing on the trunk of the tree. Walking up, I eventually reached a branch, where I turned upside down. Chuckling, I said "Cool, isn't it?"

Naruto had a wide grin on his face, and he said "Teach me Aunty! I want to walk on trees too!"

Dropping to the ground, I looked at him. "Well, it's nothing special. You coat both of your feet in chakra, and walk up the tree. However, you need to find the right amount. Too little chakra and you will slide off, and too much chakra will break the tree."

He tried to rush towards the tree, but I grabbed him by the back of his clothes. Dragging him towards me, I said "Train with the leaves first. When you can do multiple is when you will be able to start Tree Walking."

He pouted again, but I just pinched his cheek. Smiling down at him, I was about to say something when I heard someone behind me.

"So what's the kid doing here?"

Seeing Anko, I sighed, before looking down at Naruto. "This is Anko Mitarashi, my wife..."

Hearing that, Naruto's eyes widened and Anko looked at me with a smirk.

"Whoa, so you're the one who owns all this land!? That's so cool!"

Hearing Naruto's childish enthusiasm, Anko scratched her cheek, not knowing how to respond.

"You have a kunai on you?"

Hearing my question, Anko reached into the pouch on her thigh, handing me a few.

Smiling at her, I turned towards Naruto.

"You know how to use these, right?"

Seeing him nod, I handed one to him, watching him intently to make sure he wasn't lying to me. Sighing in relief when I saw him holding it properly, I relaxed slightly. Thank the Sage the Academy still taught the students well...

"Alright, do you know how to throw them?"

At that he nodded, before tossing it towards the post. I raised a brow when I sailed past the post, sticking into a tree a dozen feet away.

Seeing him blush slightly and scratch his cheek, I sighed. "Go. Go grab the kunai..."

Rushing towards the tree, I felt Anko slide behind me, her hand squeezing my ass. Looking back at her, I saw the question in her eyes, and before she could ask I said "Naruto managed to make an explosive tag, in thirty seconds, that was stronger than the ones made by the village. Not only that, he casually drew a gravity tag that was really strong. I told you last week, right? With a simple guiding hand, he could become something great..."

Sighing, Anko let me go, looking towards the orange bundle of joy that was running back towards us. "Fine, whatever. Just... try not to blow up the house, yeah?"

I chuckled at that, before giving her a peck on the cheek. She sat at the edge of the sand pit, watching us.

For the next half hour, I guided Naruto on how to properly throw a kunai, and he had started hitting the post at least once per three he threw... but hey, progress is progress.

After that, I simply had him go through basic exercises, like push ups, sit ups, sprints, pull ups... all things he could do alone, with no equipment needed. Thankfully chakra enhanced a persons body naturally, so where a non chakra having child would be incapable of training, due to the strength requirement as well as how it would negatively affect their bodies, those with chakra could start early on. Only a few clans and crazy people forced their children to start training really early, though.

After that, when he was completely drenched in sweat and exhausted, I picked him up, throwing him onto my back.

"No... hah... the... ramen..."

Hearing him mutter that, I laughed.

"Yeah, we're going to get you your ramen soon, Naruto. You can't show up drenched in sweat, though..."

Saying so, I walked towards the house, Anko following behind me. Entering, I made my way towards the smaller bath, saying "Naruto, the bath is inside. Leave your clothes outside the door; I'll wash them while you bathe. Should be quick, so once you are done and they are done, we can go to Ichiraku. Sound good?"

He nodded weakly, though I could see his eyes dropping. Shrugging, I lowered him onto the floor, before I exited.

Minutes passed, and eventually he tossed his clothes outside. Seeing how he unceremoniously did so, I sighed, before taking them to the wash. Throwing in the pellet, I turned it on before making my way into the bedroom.

What greeted me was the cloying smell of sex permeating the room. Sighing, I ignored the passed out Kurenai and opened the windows, hoping to air out the room.

Looking towards the stained sheets, I pursed my lips. Hopefully I could get those stains out... Sage, even just the smell would be fine...

Alright, let me know if the training seems reasonable, mainly the whole Leaf Concentration bit. To me, that makes sense; being able to control chakra in different parts of your body simultaneously is something I think would be needed.

Next, I know he's a Jinchuriki, and so does Kokoro. I didn't specify the amount of time she had him doing those exercises, nor how many. Remember, not only is he Uzumaki, but he is a Jinchuriki. I wouldn't be surprised if he could lift a car rn...

Anyways, we have a few more chapters before the big ol' mission I got planned~
