Naruto: Ultimate swordsman by Isom

Chapter 9: Return Home, Dates, Secrets Revealed, and a training trip for all!

Naruto winced as he woke up to the sight of a white ceiling. He always hated hospitals. One thing he always felt like he was in a prison when he was in one. Second some of the doctors had tried to kill him whenever he was there. And worst of all...they didn't serve any ramen. Though now that he thought that it seemed kind of stupid to him now.

"Are you all right Naruto?" a female voice asked.

Naruto turned to find the source of the voice was Ten-Ten.

"Yeah I'm fine," the blonde said as he rose up in his hospital bed.

"Hey Naruto," the weapons mistress asked, "What happened to your tail?"

Naruto turned back to see that he only had one tail again.

'What happened to may other tail?' Naruto thought as he looked at his now alone tail.

"Kit I told you the swords were sentient," the fox said, "The sword sensed your will to beat Doto. That's the only reason that the sword gave you access to it's full power. Since that's over it drew the power back."

Ten-Ten looked at Naruto as it had seemed he had gone into a deep thinking trance as he listened to the fox tell him why he was down to one tail again. She waited until Naruto opened his eyes to see her looking at his inquisitively.

"Naruto?" she asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine," he answered, "I was just deep in thought. The swords I have are sentient in a sense. It sensed that I wanted to have the strength to kill Doto. Once the fight was done and out of the way it took the power it gave me back."

Ten-Ten nodded as she heard him answer. Then she remembered that she had seen Naruto's leg glowing when she saw the fight from a distance. Her curiosity reared itself again.

"Naruto," she said breaking Naruto from his thoughts, "I saw that you used this move that made your leg glow. What was that?"

"That was the Devil Leg," Naruto explained as he got up and put on his pants. Ten-Ten blushed as she saw Naruto's muscled chest, "It used enormous friction to heat up the leg and an cause extensive damage to whoever is unfortunate enough to get hit by it. The sudden burst of chakra allowed me to use it."

"What do you mean?" Ten-Ten asked. Lee, Gai, Neji, and Kakashi had come into the room and heard Naruto explain. They were curious too.

"If you use the move before you're ready it can burn your leg," Naruto said, "Even if you are ready it can hurt you if you use it too much or if you use it too long. I'm not sure I can do it again with how I am right now."

Everyone nodded. The dynamic duo nodded as well since they knew that certain taijutsu moves can inflict damage on the person who used it. It was important to know ones limitations. If you didn't you wold wind up killing yourself in vain if your opponent survives.

Later Naruto and the others came out to find a large parade going through the city that they were staying in. in the middle of it was what resembled a throne and on it sat Koyuki. The people were rejoicing the return of their princess. After the whole thing everyone went to the palace and had a huge after party. Most of which was spent outside in the garden. Gai was making sure to keep Lee away from any sake since the last time he some the result was utterly disastrous. Naruto was enjoying himas he drank and goofed around with his friends. Then to the utter shock of everyone Neji actually let himself unwind. He was laughing and having a good old time. Ten-Ten was just talking with Naruto trying to get to know him better while they were she finally got to ask about the hawk that the blonde had brought out.

"Some of my swords come with summoning contracts," Naruto explained to the inquisitive weapons mistress., "I channel chakra and use the sword in a certain way I can bring out the animal that im imaged at the bottom of the blades."
