The Kitsune Demon

The next morning Xua and Yua addressed Naruto and Hinata next to Yggdrasill which had grown another inch in height. For the first hours of the day, the foxes had Naruto and Hinata exercise their bodies by doing various exercises such as running, push-ups, situps and even swimming in the glowing river. No used to such intense training Hinata had trouble completing the tasks, but when she saw Naruto bȧrėly straining she hardened her resolved and pushed forward.

After four hours of the labor-intense training, Yua finally told them to stop while Xua sat on the side with Yue. Xua and Yua had taken to the name after Hinata had called for the small white fox. Hinata dropped to the ground panting on her hands and knees, looking up she saw that Naruto was still standing and was only slightly out of breath. Gritting her teeth Hinata shakily got to her feet standing next to Naruto, walking over to the small children Yua nodded in approval and praised the both of them for their hard work. While the two recovered, Xua began to lecture the two three-year-olds from his place a few yards away.

" As you know chakra is made up of spiritual and physical energy, to increase your chakra reserves both factors must increase as well. This will take up most of your training, every day you will train your body and then your chakra. Rest for another ten minutes then we'll get started on the second part of your training for today. "

After ten minutes had past Xua instructed Naruto and Hinata into a horse stance with their hands as fists on their waists. " One of the most essential skills as a shinobi is the ability to move unseen, while careful footing can work on regular people shinobi has the ability to sense the chakra presence of others to various degrees. This is a technique that will allow you to send out a pulse of chakra to sense any living thing in the area. " Naruto and Hinata both straightened when they felt an invisible wave pass over them, after demonstrating the technique Xua resumed his explanation " The key to this technique is to condense your chakra in one central point then release it all at once. For now, keep it small and consistent eventually you'll be able to see up to a couple of miles. "

Naruto and Hinata quickly focused on their task ignoring everything else even each other. For the rest of the day, Naruto and Hinata stood silently trying to gather and push their chakra to replicate what Xua had shown them. The first one to have any success was Hinata, with her amount of control it was no surprise that she excelled in the exercise. The corners of her mouth slightly lifted as she saw a grey image of everything in a one-meter radius. Even though Hinata could easily replicate the effect with her Byakugan, she saw a way to implement the technique in her fighting style and wanted to grasp the basics of the technique. Not even five minutes later Naruto also emitted a pulse, but it was near twice the size of Hinata's. Along with the picture of everything a two-meter radius Naruto felt a slew of information flood his mind, everything from the rock of the cave to the stale air Naruto gained information about.

' It might be a part of my bloodline evolution, I have to check over my status once I have the time ' Naruto thought wandered for a second before he refocused on his task. As the day passed, both Hinata and Naruto were able to emit a small pulse with a short delay with the time it took to gather the chakra. Naruto and Hinata were exhausted when Xua and Yua led them to the forest for what they said was a surprise and slowly trudged behind the foxes.

They walked for half an hour and Naruto started to get suspicious until they crested a hill and saw a village in a clearing. Xua and Yua turned around to address Hinata and Naruto, " This is the last thing for today, using all that you have learned both of you must steal something from the village down their undetected.
