a self-taught shinobi (Under Editing)

chapter 9

2 weeks later

*naruto would be lying if he said he was surprise that his "friends" as they called themselves all started to distance themselves from him when he told them of the kyuubi inside him not that he cared that just ment more time to train and spend time with shizune,surprisingly thought the one person who didn't distance himself was neji hyuga we see does two having tea at the hyuga compound after having finished having a friendly spar against eachoter neji had to admit naruto trained well he was impressed he was so good being self taught*

Naruto:something on you're mind

*naruto said a statement either then a question neji gave a small almost unnoticeable smile*

Neji:just..reflecting upon my actions I screamed at you at the chunnin exams for not being able to understand what it ment to be cursed by fate and yet now that I see the truth you carry a burden more bigger then I will ever have to carry you have suffered more then I have ever suffered

Naruto:hm..if you're feeling guilty about that know you are forgiving and don't dissmiss you're pain all pain is valid but remember being stuck in the past helps no one

Neji:I know but it helps to hear does word so thank you

Naruto:of course

*they kept drinking enjoying the breeze and comfortable silence*

Neji:how has you're training been coming along?

Naruto:I haven't slowed down since I started quite the opposite really I now hold and even greater understanding in ninjutsu taijutsu and shurikenjutsu..granted before I barley knew anything to begin with but still it's never too late to gain knowledge however..

Neji:yes?

Naruto:there doesn't seem to be any information on kinjutsu and fuinjutsu at least publicly

Neji:that does sound like a problem normally does 2 are locked away with the shinobi clans so it's not surprising that there's nothing out there even then most of that knowledge was lost when the uzumaki clan went instinct

Naruto:so I've been told I wished there was at least something left of my former clan anything that could lead me in the right direction

Neji:only fate can decide..then again who knows maybe fate can be pushed on the right direction

*naruto chuckled that was neji's way of saying "I'll help you in secret"*

Naruto:apart from that I've still can't properly use the sword I got sure I know the practice move but I don't have any stances that I can apply to my training if that doesn't change my sword will soon become useless to me

Neji:that does seems to be a problem maybe I could talk to tenten her family have traveled the elemental nation to practice there blacksmithing surely they must have found some form of sword stance in there travels

Naruto:whatever you can give me I'll take I'm not above of reciving help when It's needed,

Neji:hm..

*neji takes a sip of his tea as Naruto continued to talk*

Naruto:as for fuinjutsu I have only been able to learn the kanjis as well as learn the basic seals such as storage seals and exploding seals anything more advanced then that..

Neji:is locked away with each clan having there own version

Naruto:yup my genjustu has been improving thanks to shizu I'm still no where near as good as her but I've become fairly decent at them

Neji:show me

*naruto used genjutsu and transformed into a copy neji, neji looked at him for a bit then closed his eyes*

Neji:the curse Mark is tilded 90° off and is 6 inches bigger them mine the skin is slightly darker then mine and my shirt button is on the right not the left

*naruto transformed back*

Naruto:like i said decent but still need to do more training

Naruto:as for senjutsu since my training with the toads I have learned the basics of senjutsu

Neji:such as?

Naruto:I can activated it to extract energy from nature however I want to expand my knowledge

Neji:it would seem a visit to the toads is near in you're future

Naruto:even if I'm not looking forward to it I still don't want to deal with jiraya

Neji:but it seems you will have to

Naruto:yup sigh well this has been an enjoyable time neji but I should be going I can sense hinata coming to look for u rather not deal with the look of fear in her eyes

Neji:until next we meet Naruto

*naruto left waving to him and disappeared as soon as the door opened*

Hinata:neji there you are I wish to spar with you..i..if it n..not to much trouble

Neji:very well

The next day with naruto

*we see him walking towards tenten family's shop he received a letter from neji that tentens father had the thing naruto was looking for a sword stance to call his own as he was walking naruto started thinking of his training yesterday

Naruto"let's see I started practicing controlling chakra around nature and what did i learn? That I have limited control over an object in a 2 mile radius as long as I stay concentrated not good enough I need to train harder till It comes as naturally to me as breathing*

Naruto:heh remind me of the tree climbing exercise

*naruto chuckled softly to himself almost nostalgic of the past so much more simpler*

*naruto opened the door to the shop hearing the ring of the bell*

Amakuni:ah naruto I'm so glad you came

Naruto: thank you Mr Yasutsuna my friend neji said you have what I've been looking for?

Amakuni:not me per say but my friend her yes naruto Uzumaki meet the famous sword maker Masamune

Masamune:hello Mr Uzumaki I see you're already a fan of my work

Naruto:I'm sorry?

Masamune:that sword you have on you're hilt it is one of mine
