The snake and the fox

Chapter 3

Naruto staring at the ground as he walked away from the gate, hands in his pockets, wondering what to do now. Should he look for a hotel first? He stopped in front of a shop, he had to replace everything in his apartment, a sigh escaped his lips, looking up at the sky. He created hundreds of shadow clones, giving them money and precise instructions on what to do, bring everything to the apartment. While his little army scattered around to gather the necessary items he made his way to the store, buying rubber gloves, trash bags, buckets, brooms and enough bleach to clean the whole village. After creating more shadow clones to help him carry everything the dozens of Naruto got to work, picking up the trash, filling bag after bag of trash, anything from rotten fruits to grassy rocks. Luckily the tiles floor was still stable, no heavy renovations were needed, just deep cleaning and replacing whatever was broken. Soon the smell of piss and rot would be replaced with bleach as the young ninja and his clones worked on scrubbing the floor, the walls and ceiling just in case. By the time the sun was setting Naruto's apartment looked much more presentable, only needing some paint on the walls and appliances. In the kitchen/living room there were some clones working on setting up the fridge, sink and the cupboards. On the other side the clones set up the sofa, put together the living room table and a small table to put the newly bought television on. In the bathroom they replaced the sink, the bathtub and the toilet who had been either shattered or covered in grafitis. The room received a new desk, a king sized bed and a large closet. Once everything was finished he split the clones in two groups, one would replace the lightbulbs and windows while the other covered everything with plastic tarps before they painted over the walls and ceilings. Well into the night Naruto looked at his apartment, pleased with himself, everything was brand new, perfect aside from the strong smells of bleach and paint, he opened the windows, turned the lights off and closed his newly installed door, putting a hand on the wood, leaving a seal that quickly vanished, he'll have to put a lot more seals around, oh well, problems for tomorrow he thoughts as he jumped away. 

Most of his night was spent going to various hotels, he was either turned down due to being full or outright because of who he was. Frustrated he cut his losses, going to a cheap motel, he took a room he new he got screwed on but decided to let it go, he was tired. He opened the door, looking over the small room, hearing the noises of whatever was happening around him. He sat at the desk, opening the scroll Jiraiya gave him, he bit his thumb, spreading the blood over the paper before injecting a bit of chakra into it, there was a puff of smoke before he was greeted with a scroll, bearing the signature of his father. As he reached for it he heard a puff coming from behind him, turning around to see a large toad standing in front of the bed, holding two scrolls.

"Jiraiya said to give you these." it handed off the scrolls before it disappeared in a puff of smoke. 

He was curious about those scrolls finding a paper attached to each one, he took the first one, undoing the string and taking the paper. 

'In here you will find scrolls and books that I want you to study with Anko or during your own time. I expect you to know them by heart when I get back.

Good luck Brat.

Jiraiya.' 

He put the the paper aside and opened the scroll, it released a large puff of smoke causing Naruto to cough as he swatted the air to get the smoke away, opening his eyes, his jaw hitting the floor as he saw the scrolls and books stacked on top of each other in a tall pile. 

"Damn you pervy sage." He mumbled, putting everything back in the scroll. Taking the second scroll he took the note. 

'In this scroll you'll find all the information a young growing man will need. 

I'll quiz you so you better read them carefully.'

"The information for a young growing man?" he thought.
