Lord Third, we found him. an ANBU said. Where is he!?!? Hiruzen asked shocked. He is currently living in the forest of death in one of the giant trees. She said. Bring me to him. He said. As they entered the forest, they saw Naruto stopped by some ANBU and was startled by what he saw. Naruto's body was covered in scars and he was missing his right eye and he was only wearing tattered black cargo pants. He has metal tanto like claws extended from his knuckles, iron hunting knife w/ a hickory wood hilt wrapped in a worn deep blue leather on his right hip, iron serrated blade tachi w/ a bronze uzumaki swirl tsuba, a large tiger fang acting as a knuckle, hickory wood hilt wrapped in black leather, and bronze pommel across his back. N-Naruto is that you? Where have you been? Hiruzen asked. I've been living here Jiji. Naruto answered. Why have you been staying here m'boy? Hiruzen asked. It was the only place the villagers would not follow me and try to kill me. Naruto said.
I see well Naruto m'boy would like to continue this conversation on the way to my office? Hiruzen asked. Actually do you and your ANBU want to come in my house for lunch since you're already here? Naruto asked. Sure m'boy. Hiruzen answered, entered Naruto's home for lunch. As they entered the tree they were greeted by the delicious aroma of food coming from the kitchen. I will be right back, I just need to put my coat on. Naruto said. Go right ahead we will be at the table. Cat said. Alright I will be out in a second. Naruto said, then went to his room to grab his coat. As Naruto came out of his room with coat on they noticed something about it. It was a hooded short sleeved trench coat made of gray wolf fur, and what really stuck the most was that it was slightly tattered with holes at the bottom of the coat and had some remanence of blood. What are we having? Dog asked. We are having a smoked barbecued bear with garlic roasted mashed potatoes with butter and duck stew, and we have a homemade alcohol I call whiskey to drink. Naruto said. This sounds delicious m'boy but before we start to eat I want Cat, Dog, and Dolphin to take off their masks. Hiruzen said.
The ANBU complied with the order and took off their masks. My name is Yugao Uzuki, Naruto-kun. The purple haired woman said. My name is Kakashi Hatake, Naruto. The scarecrow looking man said. My name is Iruka Umino, Naruto. The man with the scar on his nose said. It is a pleasure to meet you all. Naruto said. So tell me Naruto, how do have metal claws? I don't think I have seen a ability like that before. Hiruzen said before take a bite of food for his plate and immediately passed out for a moment then regained consciousness. I have had them for as long as I have remembered. Naruto answered. Well I will have to label them a kekkei genkai since it is only unique to you Hiruzen said. I understand since I have not found anybody with my ability, since it also puts my healing factor into overdrive to where I almost heal instantly. Naruto said. Hiruzen, Yugao, Kakashi, and Iruka froze thinking of all the things Naruto could survive from.
Anyway does anyone want to spar after lunch is over? Naruto asked. I think that is a great idea Naruto, we needed to see your abilities anyway. The old man said. After they finished lunch they went outside to spar. Yugao will test you in kenjutsu, Kakashi will test you in ninjutsu, and Iruka will test you in taijutsu. Hiruzen said. alright. Naruto said as he pulled out his katana. Very well begin. Hiruzen announced. Yugao swiped right with sword, while Naruto blocked then parried with a stab. She blocked and went for a slice at the neck. Naruto used his blade and broke her sword. That was a good spar Naruto-kun. Yugao said. Too you as well. Naruto said. Well lets talk about your sword style, it is a very basic style but we did not see all of it so I look forward to seeing that and your tachi is rough forged and has a serrated blade while it is many times thicker and heavier than normal, and I think that makes the blade unique to you and more deadly in the right hands. Yugao praised.
Alright I guess i'm next? Kakashi asked. Begin. Hiruzen said. Earth style: Iron blade pit. Naruto said as a pit of Iron blades opened up in the ground under Kakashi. The cyclopian dodged the jutsu just in time to counter with his own. Water style: water river. Kakashi said as a river a water rushed at Naruto. Wind style: wind shield. Naruto said and blocked the attack. Alright lets stop right there and go over what you need to learn. Kakashi said and Naruto nodded. You have a good grasp on your earth and wind element techniques to be able to use them in battle but you need to learn the basics before you can be a efficient shinobi. Kakashi said. Naruto nodded and agreed with his statement. And this just leaves me. Iruka said. Naruto got into his stance which is a mix of muay tai, taekwondo, kung fu, kick boxing, drunken boxing, and boxing. Iruka got into a jounin level taijutsu stance. Haijime. Hiruzen said as the match started. Naruto started a faint straight to which Iruka instictively blocked only to have been uppercutted and dropkicked. Iruka proceeded to get back up and try a chakra enhanced punch only for Naruto to bend completely backwords and knockout Iruka with a kick to the balls by a metal enhanced foot.
All of the men in the five great shinobi countries covered their balls in phantom pain as they felt some poor guy's balls get decimated preying for the poor soul, while Yugao had just sat back neutrally. I-I think that is enough for t-t-today Naruto. Hiruzen said. Okay I guess I will see you tomorrow for paperwork I guess. Naruto said then the Hokage left with the two Anbu carrying an unconscious Iruka. 'I wonder where Naruto got his weapons and where he learned the skills he showed???' The old man thought as he went back to his office.
*FLASHBACK 6 YEARS*
Naruto was running around the forest of death a week later after he was chased there by some drunk Chuunin shinobi. As he was running he found the corpse of shinobi from Iwagakure that had been there from the Chuunin exams 20 years ago. He started looking at the body and noticed a sword in the Iwa nin's hands, a tachi with a uzumaki swirl tsuba and tiger fang as a knuckle guard. As he continued looking at the belongings of the dead nin he found a iron hunting knife and scrolls. The scrolls contents contained taijutsu styles, jutsus, cooking, survival, and some kenjutsu styles that were either incomplete or complete. As Naruto got up and was about to leave he spotted something 15 feet away from the dead body. The items were books on sealing and chakra paper.
'Well this guy wont mind if I use his gear or whats left of it for myself since he is dead.' Naruto thought to himself.
