During his stay in the hospital, Naruto had many visitors. Kiba and his dog Akamaru came by to cheer him up. After that Shikamaru visited him to play a game. Naruto never really enjoyed the strategic Shogi game that Shikamaru was very skilled at. So that’s why his friend brought a card game instead. Sakura visited him as well, though she mostly kept quiet. It was clear that Sasuke’s betrayal had been quite a shock for the pink-haired girl. Naruto’s godfather Jiraiya had visited him as well. He couldn’t stay long though, but he gave Naruto a black T-shirt with a big orange frog on the front. The legendary toad sage had found the T-shirt in The Land Of Fire while traveling to find inspiration for his Icha-Icha novels. Naruto loved it from the second he laid eyes upon it. Pervy-sage was the best.
In the evening (after visiting hours of course), his sensei found his way back to Naruto’s room through the hospital window.
“Aah, Kakashi-sensei!” Naruto was excited to see his teacher. “You came back!”
“I said I would now didn’t I Naruto?” “Hai-Hai, so what’s in the bag sensei?” Naruto asked as his eyes spotted the white plastic bag. “Is that…” Naruto pointed his nose in the air and sniffed. “…ICHIRAKU RAMEN!?” Naruto cried out. “Thank you Kakashi-sensei, thank you thank you. You are the best!”
So much praise made said sensei blush. Luckily his mask made it less obvious. Not that Naruto would have noticed otherwise, his attention being focused solely on the bag of food in Kakashi’s hand.
“I thought you might like my little present.” Kakashi said dryly. “Leave some for me though, I haven’t eaten yet, the meeting took longer than expected.
Naruto handed his teacher a container of ramen and turned around on his hospital bed. The two ninja had an unspoken agreement to each eat in a different direction. Naruto knew this made eating a meal a lot more comfortable for his sensei, who otherwise wouldn’t pull down his mask. Kakashi never asked to do so, and Naruto never offered. Some things didn’t need to be said.
Kakashi sat down on the bed as well. Naruto lazily let himself hang back so he could find some support against Kakashi’s taller back. They made a habit out of eating like this when it was just the two of them.
“What was the meeting about Kakashi-sensei? Are they sending you on another mission?”
“Sort of, yes.” Kakashi replied.
“Let me guess, you can’t tell me about it?”
“Well, actually Naruto, I can this time.”
Naruto’s eyes grew wide. “Wheally Sensei? Whaf if it abouth? Fhell me!” Naruto said with a mouth filled with ramen noodles.
Kakashi let out a deep sigh and rolled his visible eye. “At least try to eat properly Naruto, otherwise I won’t tell you” Kakashi bargained.
“Fine, fine, so tell me already.”
“As you know by now, Sasuke and Orochimaru are not our only concern. Akatsuki is still on the loose and we have received intel that they have captured and killed several junchūrikis. We do not know yet how many members they have, but we do know that they recruit members based on incredible skill and strength. All the Akatsuki members that have been encountered showed amazing battle skills combined with powerful jutsu’s. Some members also wield rare kekkei genkai techniques. As the situation is now, Konoha’s defenses are not strong enough to fend off a full on Akatsuki attack. We know they are after you Naruto, and sooner or later, you will have to face them. Therefor two things are important now. One, the protection of Konoha and its people, and two, your safety.”
Naruto liked it when his sensei talked during their meals. He could feel the older shinobi’s deep voice without the muffled sound of the mask he otherwise always wore. And he loved feeling the vibrations his voice made while leaning against Kakashi’s back. It made it easy for him to listen more intently to what his sensei was saying. Even the package of ramen sitting in his lap was momentarily forgotten.
Kakashi continued. “It is of vital importance to Konoha, that we do not lose our junchūriki. Within you lies the ability to become one of Konoha’s most powerful shinobi. And some day, when you are ready, you might have to use all of your powers to protect Konoha. Therefor Naruto, you will receive extra training, as well as practice on how to control the Nine Tails’ chakra. You will have to become strong enough to defend yourself against the Akatsuki. As the situation is now, it is too easy for them to trace you and kidnap you. Therefore, it is important that you leave the village. If you don’t have a fixed location, then you will be a whole lot harder to find. And if they do find you, it will be a lot easier to hide or escape.”
“L-Leave the village?” Naruto couldn’t believe his ears. “Baa-chan wants me to leave the village?”
“No Naruto, Baa-chan…” Kakashi cursed. “…I mean Tsunade-sama…, wants to protect you, which is why she doesn’t want to take the risk of leaving you in one location for now.” Kakashi replied patiently.
“B-But what about the village? All my friends live here. If Akatsuki does come to Konoha, who will protect them? They won’t stop until they’ve found me. They will kill people!” Naruto shouted.
“Right, that is why, during the meeting, it was decided that Jiraiya-sama will stay in Konoha for now. He and Tsunade both are two of the three of Konoha’s legendary Sannin. They hope that the Akatsuki will not attack the village as long as they are both present, seeing how they form a great threat for any enemy. If the village is attacked, both of them should be able to fend of the Akatsuki members, or at least for a while until backup arrives.
“Baa-chan and pervy sage teaming up huh?” Naruto thought out loud. “Poor pervy sage, he sure will have to endure a lot of smacks…”
“Right”, Kakashi said. “With their power combined, and the power of the other shinobi and the ANBU, I’m sure Konoha will be safe during our absence.”
“Our absence?” Naruto asked. “You mean you’ll be the one accompanying me and training me Kakashi-sensei ?” Naruto was so surprised by this news that he involuntarily turned his face back towards Kakashi.
“Yes Naruto” Kakashi replied wearily while turning his face away from Naruto. “You and I will be seeing each other a whole lot the next couple of years.”
“Years!!” Naruto shouted.
“Well, it depends on how quickly you can become stronger of course” Kakashi replied. “But I believe we will be away for at least two years yes. However, you have a lot of the same qualities as the 4th hokage, who was trained by Jiraiya-sama. Therefore, there will be a moment during our training in which we will meet up with him. Jiraiya will at that point evaluate your progress and give you additional training and exercises before he returns to Konoha to give report about your progress.
At his absence, all other shinobi and ANBU members will refrain from taking on missions in order to protect the village.”
“They sure do go through a lot of trouble because of us, don’t you think so kit?” Kurama’s voice flooded Naruto’s already busy mind.
“I know right! It’s crazy. Thinking we cause them so much trouble, and that we put so many lives at risk just by being present in the village.” Naruto replied to the fox in his consciousness.
“It’s not your fault. It’s those Akatsuki bastards who are to blame. Do me a favor kit, and ask that silver-haired one if it is possible to defeat them sooner if I would lend you my powers.”
“What! No way! I’m not asking him that. I should be strong without having to rely on you all the time demon.”
“When will you learn to accept it boy! We can help each other. You know how much I enjoy releasing my chakra and using my powers. And you sure could use the help. It might even help you to train faster. So ask him kit.”
“No you damn fox, leave me alone!” Naruto yelled.
“Naruto? Naruto, are you all right?” Kakashi got worried when the genin got so quiet suddenly. He put his mask back on and turned around to check on Naruto. “Why is he blankly staring into space like that?” Kakashi asked himself.
“Naruto! Snap out of it!”
Suddenly Naruto flickered his eyes and looked at Kakashi. “Sorry, Kakashi-sensei. Kurama was bothering me with his stupid comments.”
“Does it happen often that the Kyuubi fox talks to you Naruto?” The concern in Kakashi’s voice was imminent.
“Well yeah, but it’s okay sensei. I got him under control.” Naruto showed Kakashi a big smile.
“Ask himmmm!!!” The loud voice of the Nine-Tails resonated through Naruto’s mind shutting out all other thoughts and sounds. He could feel his body vibrating under Kurama’s frustration.
“FINE YOU DAMN FOX!” Naruto shouted throughout his room.
Kakashi was so startled he almost dropped his empty ramen package. Naruto let out a deep sigh as he turned around to face his sensei. “Kakashi-sensei, Kurama wants me to ask you if it would help my training if he would help me by lending me some of his chakra and powers. Do you think it will make the training go quicker or something?” Naruto stated the demon-fox’s question.
“Kurama the nine-tailed demon fox, responsible for killing thousands of people wants to help out?” Kakashi couldn’t believe his ears. “Was the boy having a good influence on the demon?” He wondered.
“Yeah, he’s quite persistent on helping because he’s bored a lot” Naruto stated matter-of-factly. As if he was talking about a cute pet kitten that had to stay home alone for a long time.
“I…well…maybe…if…I…I… I don’t know Naruto.” Kakashi replied honestly. “The demon fox does hold a huge amount of power.” Kakashi thought in himself. “Using those powers could lead to great results when it comes to Naruto’s training… His chakra reserves would become even bigger. He might even be able to use kinjutsu’s that would be too dangerous for regular shinobi’s. Kakashi’s mind was racing while he weighted off the possibilities and dangers of tapping into the Nine-Tails’ powers.
“I’ll have to talk about it with the hokage and Jiraiya Naruto. They might be more aware of the dangers of allowing Kyuubi to have more influence over you.”
“Okay, thanks Kakashi-sensei.” Naruto said before returning to his half-eaten Ichiraku ramen. He could hear Kurama purring softly in his mind.
The two shinobi spend the rest of the evening in each other’s company. Talking about the details of their joined mission and playing the card game Shikamaru left behind until it was time for Kakashi to return to his apartment.
