Ch 3

I'm taking Naruto to train him for two or three years. Until then feel free live here."

Mikoto just sat there doing her best impression of a fish. "Are you sure you want this?" Itachi nodded. "Ok I love you Itachi take care of yourself and Naruto." She lovingly hugged her son, and then punched him hard in the head sending him to the floor.

"What was that for?" Itachi wined as he rubbed his head.

"That's for making me a grandmother already! Now I feel old." She dropped her head in depression

"Well you sure as hell don't look like it mother. I'm going to bed I need to get up early, you can have my room."

"Thanks son I love you. Do you know any places I could rent out?"

"Yes I'll make a list before I leave to talk to Hokage-sama tomorrow. Could you watch Naruto when am gone?"

"No problem what kind of grandmother would I be if I couldn't do that." She said smiling.

After Itachi went to bed Mikoto looked around the apartment and soon came a crossed a sleeping Naruto covered in a blue confider. She smiled at seeing the small boy and slowly went over to him setting next to him she covered the new Uchiha a little more.

"So you're my grandson uh. Well welcome to the family Naruto Uzumaki-Uchiha." Then she closed her eyes and took a deep calming breath. "Take care one young on path, may you grow strong in both body and spirit. Grow strong for you are Uchiha, the family of fire and strength." She opened her eyes and looked at Naruto.

"That's the pray of our family Naruto. May you grow strong under Itachi's training. I fear that in the coming days that you won't have a choice but to be strong, for yourself and this family."

-The next day with Itachi-

Itachi woke bright and early for his talk with the third Hokage. Itachi had been thinking of the training Naruto would need. As he neared the Hokage tower he noticed some anbu watching him more than normal for someone going to tower. After entering the tower he went straight to the Hokage's office and knocked on the closed red door.

"Come in" said an voice of the Hokage in a leader like fashion

"Hokage-sama I need to talk to you" Itachi said as he entered

Looking up from his desk Sarutobi he saw Itachi coming in. This brought a smile to the Hokage's face. The old Hokage of 55 years of age sat at his desk. His lightly tanned skin did not hide the ageing lines on his face. His white spikey fading hair line showed. His brown eyes showed compassion and love for his village and his people.

"Yes Itachi what can I do for you? How is Naruto-kun?" said the aged Hokage radiating grandfatherly love when speaking of Naruto.

"Well I came to speak to you about Naruto and his very happy and doing well." With a simple nod from the Hokage Itachi continued on. "Well I'm going to take Naruto outside of the village for training to night and would like your help on some things."

"Of course Itachi what do you need?"

"I need permission to train Naruto out of the country, a list of possible training grounds."

"Uh, I well give you give the list you asked for but I want mouthy reports on him. I will also give him some of my personal jutsu to learn. Is that acceptable Itachi?"

"Of course Hokage-sama and I thank you for your help on this matter."

"Now Itachi I need to talk to you about something of the utmost importance." Itachi face got hard at full tension. "It's has come to the worst possible conclusion Itachi they are going to rebel. They will try to attack soon and kill everyone in there quest to power. And we both know who's behind that one."

"So father will lead them to war against the village after all." Itachi balled his fist Intel his knuckle turned white. "THOSE POWER HUNGERY MORONS, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING!" Itachi said as he started to cry. "That means that it's my family or the whole village. God dame it!" he started to cry harder he knew his family was going to be killed off on the Hokage's order. But he knew if he was in charge he would order it as well.

"I'm so sorry Itachi I tried to stop this but your father wouldn't hear of it. The order was already given."

Stopping himself from crying and drying his tears looked at his Hokage. "Who's going to do it?"

"Your old friend Shinjo Uchiha will be the one to do it. But there is good news Itachi." Those made Itachi look at the old Kage. "He is to only kill the ones involved with the rebellion."

"That's good." Said a relive Itachi. "It's still over 70% of the clan but at list some will live. Is mother and my brother on that list as while?"

"Yes but neither will be able to take the position of clan head."

"Then who will lead the clan Hokage-sama?"

"When you return to the village you will be clan head Itachi then Naruto after you."

That had been the biggest shock Itachi had that day. "But why me? Hokage-sama there has to be someone other than me?"

"You are the only choice because it's well known to those in power that you and your father would often fight over the rebellion as well the whole village. That makes you ideal to rebilled face with the villagers after this. You are also known to be the most powerful sharingan user that will make those of the Uchiha clan unite under you. Also you will change the teaching of your clan as you see fit and teach them the right way."

Itachi lowered his head to think it over. Looking every possible detail over he knew the leader of his home was right. He was the best and only chose on the matter. So he just nodded his head in understanding to the Hokage.

"Come Itachi we need to get your things to gather for your and Naruto's training trip."

-Meanwhile-

After Naruto got up he found Mikoto cooking breakfast in the kitchen and freaked out. Soon Mikoto calmed him down and told him that she was his grandmother. Than they talked about the Uchiha clan and being a ninja, and her personal. Soon they went to park to play for two hours of fun filled laughter. Now their eating ice-cream enjoying the afternoon of fun and laughter.

"Thank you for such a great day I had so much fun!" Said the young blond Uchiha

"You're very welcome Naruto I had fun." Said Mikoto with a small smile

"I can't wait to learn how to be a ninja from dad I'm going to be super strong and smart." Naruto said with a big grin over his face.

Mikoto laughed at his energy and couldn't help but feel happy. "I'm sure you well Naruto but don't ever lose who you are."

"I won't because now I don't have to hide myself. I have a family that loves me and I'll protect them with my own two hands."

A proud smile formed on her face. "Keep that to heart and there's no limit to what you can do Naruto. You're going to change the clan for the better if you keep that up Naruto I just know it."

"Naruto did you have fun today" Said a monotone voice from behind Naruto and Mikoto

As they turn they see Itachi standing there with a smile on his face. In a split second Naruto tackled him to the ground hugging him.

"Dad I had so much fun today. We went to the park and had ice-cream and talked it was great!"

"I'm glad to hear that. Naruto were going go on the training trip in a few mins so go get ready."

After a few mins they got their stuff to gather and headed to the village gate. They both looked back at their home for a few seconds. Both making silent vows to come back stronger, then they headed out to find the first of the training grounds. Later that night scrams were heard from the Uchiha clan compound.

-A few days later at the first training ground-

Naruto sat in an opened grass field in his boxers. Itachi was giving Naruto the basic run down of how to use charka and jutsu. They were somewhere in fire country, their camp sat up as a basic two tents a pit for a fire and all the things they would need.

"Ok Naruto I need you to stand up now." Said Itachi from a standing position as he look at Naruto.

Naruto didn't hesitate standing up as he did Itachi quickly throw five unraveling wraps into the air. His hands moved faster than Naruto eyes could follow. When his finished the wrappings stop mid fall and quickly went to Naruto wrapping around his arms, lags, and chest. After they stop strange symbols appeared all over the wrappings and in the middle of hands and feet showed the word gravity. As soon as that was finished a crushing weight come all over young Naruto's body making him fall on to the ground.

"Ton-san why am I so heavy now? I feel like I'm being pulled down to the ground."

"That because I put a gravity seals on you for training. This is the first stage, that's double normal gravity." Naruto looked at him with bugged eyes, as he was about to say something about it Itachi interrupted him. "Naruto if you can do this in training then you well become very strong."

A gentle look came over Naruto's face then became one of determination. "If it well make me strong then I'll do it and master my training. I'll become the strongest ninja in the world!" he started to try to get up but was having a hard time. "I won't let this stop me I well become strong!" he got a foot under him. Starting pushing up he put all his strength into keep up soon standing there in front of his father Itachi.

"Well said Naruto now we well are going on a 14 mile jog then you well do 200 push-ups and set-ups. And then move on to chakra control and taijutsu." Naruto then face planted on the ground. "Are you ok Naruto-kun?"

"Fine, I'm fine" he said as got off the ground a lot easier this going unnoticed to him but not Itachi.

'He is already getting used to it. It must be the Kyuubi healing his muscle making them stronger in the presses. If this keeps put I can increase his training ten-fold.'

"Ok father lets go I'm ready" after that Itachi jogged off on an easy paste but Naruto had to try a lot harder to keep up.

'This is going to be a long three years, but I'll come back stronger thanks to fathers training.'

"Naruto you're falling behind move it or I'll have you do one hundred extra push-ups and set-ups."

'Then again it could kill me to.' Naruto thought as he spade up.

After fourteen painful miles Naruto wasted no time and got strait to push-ups and set-ups. When he finished his whole body throbbed in pain, fire filled his veins and his breaths were labored. After a sort break it was onto chakra control. Soon Naruto found himself surrounded by trees. Itachi reached up to a low branch and picked off a leaf from the tree.

"Ok Naruto this is the first step to gaining control over your huge amount of chakra you have is keep this leaf to stick to your forehead using nothing but your chakra."

"Father how does keeping a leaf on my forehead help me become a ninja, well it allow me to keep a sword to my head?" Naruto asked as he imaged himself armed to the teeth and a short sword sticking to his head fighting a horde of enemies' ninja.

"Well I suppose one could do that." Itachi sweat dropped. "But the point is to help you learn to control your chakra so you don't waste it trying to use Jutsu. For you personally it will be the hardest thing you learn how to do."

Nodding his head in understanding Naruto takes the leaf and puts it to his head and sticks for a second before it shots off like a bullet. Time and time again it kept happening just a second longer with every untempt he does. After half hour Naruto loses his temper feeling as his going nowhere and cusses like no tomorrow.

"WHY CAN'T I DO THIS?"

"Didn't I say it was going to be hard for you Naruto?"

"Yes I don't get why it's so hard to do this."

"It's because you have so much chakra and zero experience using it correctly. Those two things together are what make your control so bad." The adoptive Father said in full lecture mode then small gentle smile aperies on his face. "Believe it or not Naruto you are getting this very quickly. I know you're young yet so you have a long way to go but you'll get strong Naruto. And the first step is getting this down I believe in you."

The look of shock covered Naruto's face then a confident took over with a steeled gaze. Getting back into the grinder Naruto put the leaf to his forehead; Itachi took this moment to leave to go catch lunch. After an hour getting a few fish to cook Itachi returns to something he didn't think he would see. Setting still Naruto sat with a leaf in the middle of his head and one per temple. Staying in one place he watched Naruto continue for twenty mins before Naruto opened his eyes with a yawn but the leafs stayed in place.

'To be able to get this far in so short of time is far above what I expected at his age.' Itachi thought. "Come on Naruto it's time to eat."

A short while later Naruto was eating more than his fair share of the fish. Meaning eating like he hasn't eaten in weeks. After inhale…I mean eating launch they got into Naruto's studies teaching everything he would need to know was the goal. This went on for several hours showing this was not his strong point, and to end the day jumping into taijutsu. Their taijutsu practices consented of the very bisect of the 'Interceptor Fist' stale taijutsu going over it until it was perfect and then some more to lock it into place.

"I'm so sore." Naruto said as they walked back to camp. "The pain I feel has pain." Naruto faked cried.

"If you feel that way, then get over it." Itachi smiled playing along with Naruto's antics.

Pretending to be upset Naruto says. "Fine be that way, one day I'll get strong enough to beat you in a fight father." The last part he said completely serous and full with confidence.

Itachi is filled with pride in his adoptive son and smiles as Naruto father. "I hope you do one day Naruto. Keep training like we have been and you well."

"I'll keep training until I drop."

"Good now then tomorrow I well push your taijutsu farther with 2000 punches and kicks per hand and leg."

Naruto stops with the look of complete horror on his face. He knows his father was completely serous and slowly a smile forms on Naruto's face. 'Fine I will do this insane training and push furtherer. I will become stronger, Stronger then father.'

For the next two months Naruto trained in this fashion pushing him farther and farther. Sweat, blood and tears were shed every day. Naruto wouldn't have much of arms or legs if he didn't heal by the next morning. At the end of the week Itachi would go over what Naruto learned. Then it was time to move on and out of Fire County.

During his time there Naruto got every good at controlling his charka. Itachi was impressed so he taught Naruto Shadow clone Jutsu, confident that with Naruto's revisers he could handle it. Itachi was surprised when Naruto performed the jutsu thinking one or two at the max, when Naruto made 50 before becoming too exhausted. Itachi taught Naruto the secret of the shadow clone and allowed Naruto to increase his studies.

"Father, where are we going now?" Naruto asked.

"We're going to the Mist Village first so you can water walking and water jutsu. Then The Village hiding in the clouds for lighting, Sand for wind, and lastly village hidden in the stone as our last stop for earth jutsu, and if you think this is some kind of vacation then your mistaking. Buuut we could have some fun if you train hard. "

It was going to be a long and painful three years for our blond hero.
