Naruto: Winds and Changes

Anko looked at him oddly before shaking her head. "You know, you're a weird kid. I eat away the last of your money and you tell me not to worry about it. Great… now you actually made me feel bad." She groaned for a moment and looked at Naruto. "So tell you what, I'll help train you when I'm not on missions or torturing some poor sap, for free instead. In return all you have to do is start giving me a good fight."

Naruto looked at Anko for a moment, thinking about the offer. It wasn't bad all things considered. Yeah, she kind of scared the shit out of him… actually she really scared the shit out of him. But she was also super strong from what he had been able to determine today. Strong enough to wipe the floor with him at least. He gave her a large grin, "you've got yourself a deal!"

Sen'eijashu (Hidden Shadow Snake) - C rank offensive jutsu. Allows the user to project several snakes from their wrist as they make punching motion towards their intended target. The snakes bite and wrap around the given target, potentially inflicting multiple wounds. They are also capable of poisoning a victim.

Henge (Transform) - E rank supplementary. A basic technique taught in all academies. This creates an illusionary transformation which can be used to transform into objects, such as items, animals or other people. This technique is merely an illusion and upon being displaced by an object passing through will dispel.

Kariwimi (Body Replacement) - E rank supplementary. This lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, usually a log but can be done with others like a plant, animal or even a person, leaving the opponent to counter attack. Many forms of debate have gone about as to what kind of jutsu this is. Some are under the belief that this jutsu is in fact a space/time ninjutsu at its most basic (Space Time Jutsu includes jutsu's such as the Hiraishin used by the Yondaime Hokage).

Oroikie No Jutsu (Sexy Jutsu) - E rank, or A rank, depending on who you ask. The technique utilizes the true transformation technique, or shadow transformation in order to transform into a beautiful nude woman. Unlike standard transformations this is a real transformation which creates a chakra construct that envelops the user.

(Two Days Later…)

It was early in the morning as Naruto went about his daily exercise routine. Anko had gone on a mission today so she was not here with him like she had been the past couple of days. Not that he was going to complain, the woman's training method may be effective, though if you asked Naruto it was more torture then training, but he really had no desire to come home looking like a walking bruise today.

Not to say hid training had not been progressing well; even Anko had been impressed by how quickly he was learning, though her way of saying that was 'Wow! Keep this up and maybe you won't continue to suck!' yeah, not exactly the nicest thing for someone to say when giving out compliments. Still he would not complain about her or her training methods. Each day they sparred or he would be forced to run from her in the Forest of Death, he would last just a little bit longer, meaning he was just a little bit stronger than he had been when first starting. And really, wasn't that the whole point in training?

Nauto's chakra control was getting better; he could now float five leaves on one hand (each of his fingers) and rotate them. His clones were beginning to work on the other hand now. It was his hope that he would master this soon and then get started on tree climbing, since the idea of being able to walk on a solid vertical surface was the coolest thing he could think of, even if he had promised not to do pranks, he could just imagine all of the potential that ability would have had for his pranking career.

His taijutsu was better, still nowhere near enough to beat a Jonin like Anko, or even one of the better chunin, but it was still good enough that Anko had been impressed with the short amount of time it took for him to learn it. Normally during their training, Anko would literally tear his taijutsu apart, picking the entire style a part piece meal. Often when she found a weak point in his guard, or an attack that would overstretch him; she would take full of advantage of it, beating him into the ground before telling him what he did wrong. After all, there was nothing like getting your ass kicked to make sure you really did not want to get your ass kicked again.

His physical strength also had increased a bit. His arms weights were now at thirty pounds while his leg weights were at forty pounds. The ability he had to increase his weights faster than normal was thanks to his healing factor. Naruto had found out that when his muscles ripped or his bones broke, the Kyuubi's chakra would come out of the seal and heal his body making it twice as strong at the break. It was probably the one good thing that had come with the Kyuubi so far.

Boujutsu was a bit slower than the other things he was trying to learn, especially since learning to use a weapon was a completely new experience unlike taijutsu. He was still getting better every day, but learning to use a staff was harder then everything else he was working on.

Surprisingly enough it was his studies in fuiinjutsu that made the biggest leap. He had been told that the art was one of the hardest to learn, however Naruto seemed to take to it like a fish to water. He had already read the basic book and was reading the first level intermediate book. His ability to actually make seals was a little slow, having been forced to make his hand writing perfect so that he would not accidentally make some mistakes on the seals and have it blow up in his face. Still he understood the subject well, and had hope that he would eventually be able to create some seals without it killing himself.

He had also learned a few new jutsu that Anko had decided to teach him. The first one was the Kunai Kage Bushin No Jutsu (Kunai Shadow Cone Jutsu)and it's shuriken variant, it was a simple C rank jutsu that multiplied the amount of kunai thrown and was used for mass bombardment of an enemy's position. The jutsu required little control and for someone like Naruto who had learned the Kage Bushinin one hour, this jutsu was simple.

Aside from that he had also learned the Bushin Daibakuha (Great Exploding Clone), this had in all honesty become his favorite jutsu. Basically it was a shadow clone that you simply overloaded with chakra to make it explode. The key to doing this was to send a large dose of chakra to the clone in one go, rather then gradually building chakra in it like when he created reinforced clones.

Other than that his aim with kunai and shuriken had gotten better, he could now hit a moving target with some degree of accuracy. He had also found the limit to his seemingly limitless energy, though that had come from spending several hours playing death tag with Anko in the Forest of Death.

The last of Naruto's accomplishments was with his issue of money. Originally he had been tempted to go and see if Kaito would be willing to let him work there for money, however he had decided against it since the man had already been so kind to him and he did not want him to lose customers for having the demon brat working for him.
