Chapter 15 New Mission!

Disclaimer: First Chapter

Story Start!

"Something wrong?" Erza asked Naruto, who was laying on his own bed and looking up at the ceiling with a disturbed expression. In the week that the mission had been over with, Naruto hd gotten paid his share of the reward for the mission, but he didn't feel like he had really done anything worthy of being paid. Those ninja were still out there waiting, and who knows what else they were going to try and do to get to him.

"Nothing is WRONG really, but I feel bad about leaving the town like that." Naruto said silently as he sat up on his bed and started to get up. Moping around wasn't going to get him any stronger, so he might as well use this time to get some training done? Naruto's body glowed brightly, before he stripped down to nothing, before he changed into some new clothing so that he could get at least some light training done at the very least. He wasn't changing into armor per say, but then again, Erza didn't ONLY wear armor back when she was alive.

She had tons of not armor clothes that had special abilities to them.

These were just running clothes that he now had on. He wore a red tank top that cut off at the gut, above the belly button that was made of a very light material that breathed well so that he wouldn't sweat as much running. Along with that he wore yellow short-shorts to go with it, and white running shoes. He had blue sunglasses and an orange and white hat on his head, both to keep the sun out of his eyes. Of course, Naruto had added something to these running clothes, nothing major, but he also wore his leaf headband around his left thigh with the leaf facing to the left.

"Going running?" Erza asked as she floated around him.

"What tipped you off? The running clothes?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. Erza twitched and smacked him in the back of the head for the sarcasm, but he just grinned. It was hard not to be sarcastic when somebody asked obvious questions. Naruto held his finger in front of his body, and a small blue energy screen appeared in front of him. Erza smiled in approval, the in the last week she had taught him how to open up a screen that would allow him to view the things inside of his Pocket Dimension. Now Naruto could organize his pocket dimension and make things easier for him to summon.

Right now he had every stored into multiple categories; Armor, Swords, Hammers, Axes, Spears, Bows and Arrows, Clothes, Kunai, Shuriken, Ninja Wire, Magical Clothes, and among other things.

He had spent all of yesterday looking around through the Pocket Dimension, and separating everything into multiple 'files' that would allow him to lower the time that it would take him to summon anything. Naruto also decided that instead of using a bank, he wore store all of his money inside of a part of the pocket dimension that he labeled this 'Bank'... he wasn't very original with names, but it was still better than just labelling something like 'Money' and being done with it.

"Just get to running, and don't forget to bring a water to stay hydrated with. Training means nothing if you get sick because of it." Erza ordered him, so he grabbed a water from the fridge and started to head out of the door to his apartment. Naruto shut the door behind him, before he jumped over the railing at the edge of his apartment and landed on the dirt road below him. Naruto stood up, before he started to run in place to get ready. Getting himself pumped up, he was about to get running, before he rushed off in a sprint and started to run down the middle of the road without a care.

Naruto started to let his mind wonder right away, when his legs started to bother him he would take a break, but until then he had no real destination.

Naruto had told the Third Hokage about what had happened, and the old Hokage had simply waved him off and told him that people would be after him after showing a new bloodline. He should expect more people to make a grab for him in the future, and to be wary of such attacks. It did well for his nerves that much was for sure... not. Naruto hated the fact that he would have to stay on constant watch for attacks to his person now because of his new abilities that actually WEREN'T a bloodline. His children would not be able to inherit his armors, it wasn't something that was done. His armors were his alone, unless he manually took them ALL out of his pocket dimension and gave them to his kids.

Naruto raised his arms up, before he started to summon different weapons into his hands, only to send them away right away. While he worked his legs out, it would be good to start to work his magic out as well.

"So Erza-sensei, what is the order of armors I will be learning to summon this week?" Naruto asked with a glance towards Erza.

"Monday and Tuesday we will continue to work of the Flame Empress Armor and its abilities, as well as training your body to quickly adjust to switching and moving from armor to armor. Wednesday we are going to teach you how to summon the Lightning Empress Armor, and Thursday you are going to work on switching between Flame and Lightning Empress Armor. Friday we are going to work with the Japanese Cloth, and Saturday we are going to do a clone free for all... Sunday you ARE going to relax though, no training at all." Erza listed off the many things that she was going to have him do. She had made this schedule so that she could get him used to the armors slowly.

Right now he could summon and use the Flame Empress Armor, the Purgatory Armor, and her Japanese Cloth... she didn't count her clothing as armors, so she didn't count the other clothes he could summon, nor did she count the base armor she wore. It was so easy to transform into that he could do it in his sleep now... she had been training his body when he was sleeping, with his permission of course. She was only able to possess his body when he personally gave her permission, otherwise she could only control certain parts of his body like arms or legs... a HUGE source of power would throw her out of his body whenever she tried to possess it without getting his strict permission first.

It was strange, because the thing throwing her out of his body was not the Kyuubi inside of him... she regularly went into his body. She had seen the nine tailed fox spirit thing inside of him... that creature was SO many times more powerful than any REAL demon she had fought in her life, just being near that thing sent a chill down her spine, and brought up a sense of fear in even her. That giant fox was powerful, and filled with so much hatred that she was surprised Naruto wasn't even slightly corrupted by it, or tempted to rely solely on its power.

"I was thinking Sea Empress Armor instead of Lightning. Water Jutsu are much more common than Lightning, I mean, I have seen Kakashi-sensei use a few Water Jutsu, but only one Lightning jutsu... I have only ever seen one Lightning Jutsu period, but I HAVE seen a few water ones." Naruto explained, and to the people watching him as he ran by them it looked like he was talking to himself, and not the ghost floating next to him... that they could not see. Erza took on a thinking expression, before she nodded to herself.

"Very well, it will not be hard to change. Water seems like it would be a much more common element to encounter than lightning anyway. Today is Sunday, so this is all the training you are allowed to do. Maybe go see a friend and hang out with them. If you don't take resting days, you will burn out your body." Erza lectured him, a dead serious look on her face. She had seen many people that burned out from training, and got injured from it because of that. Then they never really recovered from it without the risk of it happening again.

Erza blinked when she noticed that Naruto had stopped outside of a cake shop with a glass window.

She looked at him in confusion, and she knocked on the side of his head a few times. Looking where he was looking, she noticed that he was staring at something that made her ghost heart skip a beat.

"Let the Power of YOUTH inspire you!" Might Guy's voice rang out loudly, shocking Naruto out of his stupor and reminding him that he was supposed to be running. Naruto got back to running just as Guy started to run on his hands nearby him. Naruto saw Tenten and Neji running the normal way behind Guy, and Naruto raised an eyebrow at the team training. Tenten and Neji both had ropes around their bodies, and they were most likely being forced into dragging large punching bags behind them like training weights. Naruto raised his eyebrows further and he ran next to the team.

"Morning Guy-sensei, Tenten... and you to Neji." Naruto greeted, making a point of greeting Neji at the end with a slightly 'forgetful' tone that he knew would annoy the boy. Neji showed no outward expression on his face, but he did nod to Naruto to show that he heard him. Tenten looked to her side, showing Naruto her sweaty face. She didn't seem to be in the best of moods at the moment as she was looking like she had been running for a long time now.

"Morning Naruto-kun! It is good for the youth of this great village to stroke their flames of youth, and increase their bodies physical abilities with a good morning jog!" Guy shouted as he slowed his hand running speed and started to hang back near Naruto's level, since Naruto seemed to joining them for the run... or at least was willing to run next to them while they ran.

"Hey Guy-sensei, is Bushy Brows still in the hospital? I thought he would be trying to train with you guys, despite being injured." Naruto commented, and Guy looked like he wanted to frown for a moment.

"Lee is going to be undergoing a treatment now. The doctors say that nobody minus Tsunade of the Sannin can heal his injuries... but it would take a miracle for her to return to the leaf... Naruto-kun?" Guy asked when he noticed that Naruto was jumping up onto the roof. Naruto landed on the roof of the nearest building, before his body glowed and he changed into his Heart Kreuz armor without a moments waste. He watched as Team Guy continued their run, while he himself looked towards the Hokage Tower not very far away.

He knew what he wanted to do now.

Tsunade... as in Tsunade of the Sannin that was the teammate of not only Jiraiya, but Orochimaru... though, he only knew this because Erza had been making him study and learn up on history. Tsunade had been in both the Second and Third Great Wars that had played a part in the history of the nations. She had been a famous medic, and had cured countless poisons and diseased that had been used as weapons from other nations, even healing ninja with her medical ninjutsu in the middle of battle.

Guy had given Naruto a great idea.

If Naruto could find Tsunade, then he could bring her back to not only heal Lee, help him with something that he had thought about doing for a while. Of course, Naruto had no interest in learning medical ninjutsu, he personally didn't really need it, or have the chakra control for it. He just needed a little Kyuubi chakra and he would be set when it came to medical ninjutsu, and he didn't want to risk hurting people when he healed them with his chakra, so he just didn't think it was an art that was fit for him right now. Possibly later, but not right now or anytime in the near future.

No, what Naruto had heard that she had a large amount of Fuinjutsu knowledge... not as much as the legendary people in the history books like Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Jiraiya, Mito Uzumaki, Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi. The people that had made legends of themselves from their skill in the art stood head and shoulders above Tsunade, but most of them were dead, and right now Naruto wasn't very eager to ask Jiraiya to help him out with anything. Naruto needed somebody skilled in Fuinjutsu to teach him the art, so that he could start working on his own self-repairing armor.

Erza could teach him Magic Blacksmithing to a certain degree... she had never done it herself, but she did have a book about the many different styles of magic blacksmithing. She had them inside of her pocket dimension... along with her many... MANY erotic books and other such porn material. Naruto did NOT know what was up with him, but it would seem he was cursed to always have perverted teachers. He had thought having a woman as a master would stop this cycle, but she was an even bigger pervert than Kakashi... not as much as Jiraiya though, but far surpassing Iruka. She was a close second to Jiraiya thought, which was impressive. Back to the point, he could learn about making magic armor from the books, and with Erza helping him learn the magic required for it.

The Fuinjutsu was for his own chakra related armors though, an armor that he wanted to mix chakra and magic together to make.

Sadly, he would also have to learn regular black smithing to do this... and to learn regular black smithing he would need to go out and find somebody to teach him how to do it.

Tsunade was the Grandchild of Mito Uzumaki, so she MUST know something about sealing that would allow him to safely mix two energies together that didn't naturally fit together. Naruto's own body was the exception, since his body wasn't just HIS body anymore. Erza's own DNA had fused with Naruto, making his body a strange combo between Naruto and Erza, while being mostly Naruto... if that made any sense. Naruto's body had a large infusion of Erza in it, but it was still mostly his own original body.

He needed to find her, and no matter what it takes MAKE her come back to Konoha.

"Where are you going?" Erza asked Naruto as he jumped from roof to roof as he started heading towards the Hokage Tower.

"I have an awesome idea, and I was reminded of something by Super Bushy Brows-sensei. Fire, Lightning, Water... you have those elements covered, BUT, what about Wind and Earth? Wouldn't it be awesome to have a complete set of elemental armors?" Naruto asked with a bright grin on his face as he landed on a bakery roof, before stopping and looking down at the ground below him.

"It would be great, but not your main concern. You must first learn to use all of my armors to some degree before you should make new ones. You still have to study magic blacksmithing before trying to create anything... my own knowledge of that is very lacking. I just design my armor, I never really made it myself." Erza commented to him in response. It was true, she only drew the basics of what she wanted, and the blacksmith she went to would take care of it for her. She only had a book about it, the basics, because she had been curious. She never actually intended to make her own armor on her own, not when others made a living out of creating armors.

"At this rate, I will be able to at least summon all of your armors in a few months. Anyways it isn't like I am going to make them right now... I want to SO much, but until I learn a lot more I can't." Naruto said sheepishly. He now admitted that as he was, he couldn't make anything. His drawing skills sucked, so he doubted he could make anyone a picture of what he wanted and let them take care of the rest of it. He didn't know any strange blacksmiths that would take on the requests for the armor he was thinking of.

"It has something to do with this Tsunade of the Sannin, then I fully approve... I would like to see this woman. Those books I made you read made her sound like a formidable opponent... you will improve fast if you challenge her to a contest... from what I have seen, you improve MUST faster if you are fighting, or have something to prove... so I approve of this." Erza said with her ghost arms crossed under her bust... armored bust. Naruto wasn't sure what part of his plan she was approving of, mostly because he was too busy thinking on how he was going to convince the third to let him take this mission.

Kakashi and Sasuke weren't allowed to take missions right now because of what they did during the chunin exams.

Team Kurenai was filled with clan heirs, so he couldn't count on them. He was sure that the third wouldn't be very happy to send Naruto after an S-Rank Ninja on his own... when another S-Rank ninja wanted him.

It had to be somebody that owed him... and was strong enough to actually be helpful instead of a problem.

Naruto shrugged, before he jumped towards the Hokage Tower, clearing the distance quickly he knew what he was going to do now.

Well, Tsunade was a great medic, so maybe the Third Hokage would be willing to let Naruto go on this mission.

Naruto grinned to himself.

He had a goal, and he was going to fulfill it.

Chapter End!
