Hi readers! I am back with chapter 2! Wonder how is Misaki's and Kamui's training going. And how is Naruto and Aichi going to cope with Sennin Mode. And I made a mistake, it wasn't Great Sage Toad but it was Great Lord Elder, sorry for the mistake! Enjoy!
Normal POV
Aichi just came back from his training with Misaki and Kamui and was heading to the Hokage's. Aichi overheard Naruto's voice.
" Ero-sennin and Aichi did it, right? Then I can't lose to them! I'll do it!" He heard him say
He knocked on the door and entered.
" I'll go too." Aichi said
" Aichi-boy!" Fukasaku exclaimed
" It's nice to see you again, Fukasaku-sama." Aichi greeted
" You want to go too? Are you sure?" Fukasaku ask
" Yeah!"
" Nicely said!"
The gates of Konoha opened and Aichi, Naruto and Fukasaku were leaving soon.
" Then, let us go. Naruto-boy, Aichi-boy, say your goodbyes." Fukasaku said
" I'm off. I'm counting on you with the code, Shikamaru." Naruto said
" Don't worry about us." Shikamaru said
" I will contact you the moment the results of the autopsy and the interrogation are in." Tsunade said
" I will leave the messenger frog behind. If there's anything, give it to him." Fukasaku said
" Yes, sir."
" Good luck, Naruto, Aichi!" Sakura said
" Yes!" Aichi said
" Right!"
" Misaki-san, Kamui-kun. Be careful and good luck with your training." Aichi said
" We will, Brother!" Kamui said
" You be careful too." Misaki said
" Yeah, I will. I'll be sure to be back soon." Aichi said
Misaki and Kamui nodded.
" All right! Let's go!" Naruto said
Naruto started walking but paused...
" By the way, which way is Mount Myoboku?" Naruto ask
Mental face-palm...
" Can we really trust this guy?" Sakura ask
" It takes a month to get there on foot. It's also known as Maze Mountain. If you don't know the secret route, you won't be able to get there." Fukasaku said
Naruto slumped...
" It's hard just to get there, eh?" Naruto ask
" Naruto-boy... You already signed a binding contract with us toads. There's no need to worry." Fukasaku said and tapped the scroll
The scroll turned big and revealed the names written in blood.
" Hey! That's the..." Naruto said
" Well then, I'll be borrowing these two boys." Fukasaku said and turned the scroll back to normal
" Please take care of them." Tsunade bowed
" But what do you mean, there's no need to worry?" Naruto ask
He disappeared after that, followed by Aichi.
" They disappeared?" Sakura said
" It's a Reverse Summoning." Tsunade said
" Wow..."
" Good luck on your end too." Fukasaku said and disappeared after making some hand signs
" All right! Let's concentrate on figuring out the data Jiraiya left us. The two of you can continue training. I'll supervise the both of you from time to time." Tsunade said
" Roger."
~ On Naruto's and Aichi's side~
They appeared at the mountain.
" Where... are we?" Naruto said
Fukasaku and Aichi appeared beside him.
" Jii-chan Sennin... What is this place?" Naruto ask
" The Land of Toad." Fukasaku replied
" The Land of Toad?"
" Naruto! Aichi!" Gamakichi jumped
" Gamakichi!" Naruto said
" I summoned the both of you here, Naruto." Gamakichi said
" I see... Is that how?" Naruto said
" Before we train, we must eat. Come along." Fukasaku said and his carrier toad hopped along
Aichi flinched.
" Food?!" Naruto said
When they arrived...
" Now, eat up! I went all out to prepare this meal! Now, now... Don't be shy. Try these caterpillars." Shima said
" Th-Thank you." Naruto said
" Th-Thank you, Shima-sama." Aichi said
Aichi and Naruto didn't have any choice and they also didn't want to be rude so they digged in to the bug meal prepared. Naruto took a spoonful of soup and almost puke but he held it in. In the end, he forced everything down his stomach. Aichi was... since he came earlier than Naruto, he was used to it, kind of. After the meal, Naruto went to get water with directions from Gamakichi and Fukasaku.
" Ma will have a fit if she sees you like this." Fukasaku said
" I forced it all down, didn't I?!" Naruto said
" When you're hungry, your belly isn't choosy. You'll get used to it in time." Fukasaku said
" By that time... I'll no longer be a human being." Naruto thought
" By the way, where did Aichi go?" Naruto ask
" He's over there." Fukasaku said, pointing to the tree
Aichi was resting, looking as bad as Naruto. Seems like being used to it wasn't enough.
" He looks as bad as me." Naruto said
" Now let's begin your training." Fukasaku said
" Yes sir!"
" First of all, I must explain that what I'm about to teach you is not ninjutsu, but Senjutsu." Fukasaku said
" Explain?"
" Listen well. As opposed to Ninjutsu, where you utilize your own internal energy, Senjutsu involves taking in outside energy for your use." Fukasaku explained
" Outside? What do you mean?" Naruto ask
" As you're probably aware, Ninjutsu utilizes chakra that is molded from one's Mental and Physical Energy. Senjutsu involves taking that internally generated chakra and adding Nature energy from the outside, resulting in an even more powerful chakra. And that leads to all your ninjutsu, genjutsu and even your taijutsu getting a real power boost. Mental and Physical Energy within oneself, and Nature Energy from the outside. Jutsu and techniques born from the chakra created by these three combined energies is what's known as Senjutsu." Fukasaku explained
" Hmm..."
" Look at it this way... If you add mint flavour to chocolate-vanilla ice-cream, then it tastes even better." Gamakichi said
" That makes it more confusing, Gamakichi!" Fukasaku said
" Oh... I get it!" Naruto said
At the tree, Aichi, who just woke up, chuckled softly at the reaction that Naruto has given.
" You understood that analogy?" Fukasaku ask
" That's the kind of guy Naruto is." Gamakichi replied
" So what's this Nature Energy really about?" Naruto ask
" Energy that is external to you. The energy that exists in the atmosphere and the terrain." Fukasaku replied
" Atmosphere and terrain... Okay..." Naruto said
" As in, the air and in the ground." Gamakichi said
" Oh! Is that what he mean?" Naruto ask
Aichi chuckled softly again. " That is so like Naruto-kun's reaction to the explanation." Aichi thought
" Bah! Enough words. I will show you." Fukasaku said
He hopped to a nearby statue.
" This should be good enough." Fukasaku said
He made a hand sign and touch the statue.
" Wow! Fukasaku-sama is amazing! Look at him gather all that Nature Energy!" Gamakichi said
" Where? Where?!" Naruto ask
The statue was being lifted up a little.
" Oh, wow..." Gamakichi said
Fukasaku lifted the statue.
" H-He lifted it!" Naruto exclaimed
" How about that? This is the power of Nature Energy-enhanced Senjutsu." Fukasaku said
He put the statue back down.
" But I don't know what you did... I only saw you weave a sign at the beginning." Naruto said
" Well, naturally... Right now, you're not yet able to sense Nature Energy, Naruto-boy. So it's impossible for you to absorb it." Fukasaku said between some pants
" Then how do I do it?" Naruto ask
" You must become one with nature!" Fukasaku replied
" Become one...?"
" As in, you have to die." Gamakichi said
" What? Die?! How come becoming one with nature mean dying?"
" Gamakichi-kun, what are you saying?" Aichi ask
" Gamakichi, what's with the dying?! Don't make some weird analogies!" Fukasaku said
" But..." Gamakichi said
" Relax, you're not actually going to die, Naruto-boy." Fukasaku assured
" Then what?" Naruto ask
" Just wait 'til I'm finished... I'll explain it stepwise. Absorbing Nature Energy... It means the ability to sense it around you and draw it into yourself. In addition, by becoming one with nature, you also gain full control over the Nature Energy entering and leaving your body. Practically speaking, in terms of your training..." Fukasaku said
" Yeah, yeah..." Naruto said
" Sit still."
" Huh?"
" It means sit still! When you cease your flow of animal instincts and harmonize with the flow of nature, you will be able to sense Nature Energy for the first time." Fukasaku said
" So I just stay still? That seems easy enough." Naruto said
" Naruto, you really don't get it, do you?" Gamakichi ask
" For animals, not moving is the hardest thing to do." Fukasaku said
" Jumping, running, molding chakra with all my strength... I've done those sorts of training. But stay still? I don't quite get it. But that's how you take in Nature Energy, right?" Naruto ask
" It's impossible to do it right away. This training requires time, since the degree of difficulty is very high."
" It's gonna take that long?!" Naruto ask
" Don't take it so lightly, Naruto-boy! Our enemy is Pain, who possesses the Rinnegan... The power of the Sage of the Six Paths. A powerful enemy who killed Jiraiya-boy. With that kind of attitude, you can't possibly win!"
" I know all that! Pain is the leader of the Akatsuki, who are after Bijuu. They could come for me at any moment. I don't have much time to waste."
" Well, it's not as though there isn't a better way..." Fukasaku said
" There is?! Then teach me that!"
" This waterfall behind me... It's the secret toad oil of Mount Myoboku."
" Toad oil?"
" Come over here and put out your hand."
Naruto walked towards Fukasaku. Fukasaku dipped his finger in the oil.
" Here." Naruto said, rolling up his sleeve.
Fukasaku applied the toad oil on his arm.
" This toad oil has the property of attracting Nature Energy. It helps with the training." Fukasaku said
" Hey, that's useful!" Naruto said
" Whenever you rub this oil on your body, Nature Energy can enter through there. And gradually, you'll gain the ability to sense Nature Energy." Fukasaku said
" That's right... I think I feel something through my skin."
" It's a tool to help grasp the concept. In time, you won't even need to use the oil. However, there is a risk. When used by one who is inexperienced in controlling Nature Energy, you start to turn into a frog." Fukasaku said
Naruto looked at his reflection.
" Wh-Wh-What the hell is this?! Help! I don't wanna be a frog!" Naruto said, when Fukasaku whacked him on his head with his baton
Aichi and Gamakichi face palmed.
" Oww! What's the big idea? I'm back to normal." Naruto said
He look at his reflection again.
" It's all about balance. You're used to turning your Mental and Physical Energy into ninjutsu chakra, so you've got a balance there. But now, you must add Nature Energy into the mix. Getting the perfect balance is extremely difficult." Fukasaku said
" Balance, huh?"
" Take in too little, and you won't get Senjutsu chakra. And yet, if you take in too much, Nature Energy will overwhelm you and turn you into a frog. Of course, if you only take in a little too much, it's reversible. But get beyond a certain amount, and you'll stay as a frog, never reverting back to a human again."
Naruto gulped.
" What I meant about you having to die is that you might stop becoming human." Gamakichi said
" Once you turn into a frog, then you progress further toward permanently becoming one with nature. And the past students who've failed in this training... are those stone statues." Fukasaku said
" All of them? But Aichi could..." Naruto said
" He's a different case but don't fret too much. You have me. And this baton beats Nature Energy out of one's body. If you start transforming into a frog, I'll beat you thoroughly to reverse it. Speaking truthfully, even Jiraiya-boy wasn't able to completely master this. When molding Senjutsu chakra, Jiraiya-boy always acquired some frog features. But he was among the skilled ones. I doubt you'd hesitate after coming this far, but let me ask you... What will you do?" Fukasaku ask
" I'll do it! My Ninja Way... is the same as the Ero-Sennin's!" Naruto said
Naruto looked at Aichi.
" By the way, you said Aichi was a different case, what do you mean by that, Jii-chan Sennin?" Naruto ask
" What I meant by different case is something that you'll find out after you can become one with nature. It's something that you might need to know soon or maybe what you've known about him already." Fukasaku replied
" O-Okay..."
Naruto started his training. Fukasaku splashed the oil on him while he concentrates on absorbing the Nature Energy. But he keeps absorbing too much and almost turned into a frog. Fukasaku whacked him on the head again.
" Oww! Tomorrow, I'm going to be bruised and bleeding on the inside." Naruto said
" What? Giving up already?" Fukasaku ask
" Hey, I know a much better training method."
" What is it?"
" Use Shadow Clones for the training. They exponentially increase my progress!" Naruto said
" You have a point. The experience of Shadow Clones reverts back to the original. But the reverse is also true... If the Shadow Clone completely changes into a frog, it's over for the original."
" I know that already."
" Very well. But four is the limit! Anymore and neither the baton or I can keep up!"
" All right!"
Naruto made clones but it was whacking all over the place. Gamakichi and Aichi opened their eyes to see the scene. Fukasaku was whacking each of the clones and the clones disappeared. They sweat drop.
" Is that his idea?" Aichi thought
" Ow!"
" We're not playing a game of whack-a-mole! This is training! I'm not gonna last doing this!" Fukasaku said
" Damn!"
Fukasaku whacked him again.
" Oww! My face is like this from being hit! I'm not turning into a frog!" Naruto said
" What? Sorry." Fukasaku said
Sweat drop.
" I never thought that training to feel Nature Energy would be so hard." Naruto said
" Only through perseverance shall true strength be gained." Fukasaku said
" I know that! If it'll make me strong like the Ero-Sennin, anyone would endure this."
" No... That's impossible. This training is not for everyone... You could say it's only possible because it's you, Aichi-boy and Jiraiya-boy. Or else I wouldn't have even brought you here."
" What do you mean?"
" Unless you already possess enormous chakra inside you, Nature Energy would just take over you right away. That is how intense Nature Energy is. Plus, they must have the guts to never give up. That's the kind of person who can become a Sennin."
" All right! Let's do this then!" Naruto dived into the oil
" Fool! Do you want to kill yourself?!" Fukasaku exclaimed
After awhile, there were a few more whackings and slappings of the baton.
" I can see it! Yes! I can see it! I can see it! I saw it! I saw it! I saw it! I'm awesome, yeah!" Naruto yelled and danced
" Fukasaku-sama, I'm getting a little hungry." Gamakichi said
" You're right. Naruto-boy, time for a break. Let's eat."
Aichi flinched again. Fukasaku brought the meal, it was another course of bug meal.
" Eat up now. After the break, I'll have you try lifting up the stone frogs using Senjutsu." Fukasaku said
" Y-Yes sir!"
" Th-Thank you, Fukasaku-sama..."
" Good, huh? They're Ma's special dishes." Fukasaku said
" They're all favourites of mine." Gamakichi said
They finally finished eating, somehow.
" That actually tasted quite good. I'm becoming less human, after all." Naruto thought
Aichi was... He was feeling kind of sick again. He was definitely not getting used to the food.
" Now then, I want you to raise the stone frog. But first, try it using only your ninjutsu chakra." Fukasaku said
" O-Okay..."
Naruto tried lifting the stone frog up but failed to.
" I can't lift it!" Naruto said
" All right, stop!" Fukasaku said
Naruto stopped and pant.
" Now, mold some Senjutsu chakra." Fukasaku said
" Right!" Naruto said
Naruto applied some of the frog oil again and concentrated on the Nature Energy. He did it but he took on some frog features.
" Good! Now try lifting the stone frog once more!" Fukasaku said
" Okay!"
Naruto tried lifting up the stone frog again and it was being lifted up a little bit.
" Oh!"
" He's doing it!" Aichi said
" That's it! Naruto-boy!" Fukasaku said
Naruto fully lifted up the stone frog.
" Nice, Naruto!" Gamakichi said
" You did it, Naruto-kun!" Aichi said
Naruto threw the stone frog down instead of gently putting it down.
" I did it!" Naruto said
" Fool! How dare you treat your predecessor with such disrespect!" Gamakichi exclaimed
To make it even worse, the rest of the stone frogs also toppled like a domino.
" All right! Naruto-boy! Now put all the toppled stones back in place!" Fukasaku said
" Are you serious?!" Naruto said
" Well, you did topple all those stones." Aichi said
" Then, Aichi, can you help me? I mean, you can go into Sennin Mode too, right? Help me out on this!" Naruto begged
Before Aichi could answer, Fukasaku answered for him.
" He can't! I told you that Aichi-boy's Sennin Mode is a different case! Now go and put them back to place!" Fukasaku said
" O-Okay..."
~ After awhile~
" Looks like you've mastered toad oil assisted control. Now you need to master controlling Nature Energy without using the oil." Fukasaku said
Naruto got up.
" I can feel the power flowing into me!" Naruto said
" Ninjutsu chakra consumes your internal chakra. The more you use it, the more exhausted you will become. In contrast, Senjutsu chakra draws in external energy, so it will not tire you. In fact, you will recover and heal quicker too." Fukasaku said
" I get it... Now maybe I can do that too..." Naruto said
" Do what?"
" Huh?! Oh, nothing... Nothing at all!"
" Never mind then... but here. I thought I'd give you this today, Naruto-boy."
" What is it?"
" A book."
" Book?"
" This is the first novel Jiraiya-boy wrote. A lot of Jiraiya-boy's mind and heart are contained within it. You should read it." Fukasaku said
Naruto took the book from his hands.
" Tales of... a Gutsy Ninja."
Naruto read the book and kind of teared up on a giant leaf. He remembered his time with Jiraiya.
" Jiraiya-sensei's book? Do you miss him?" Aichi ask
" Yeah. But... I'm going to avenge him! His books are really... um..." Naruto couldn't find the words
" You can say that next time. You can go continue your training." Aichi said
" Yeah!"
Naruto continued his training without the toad oil this time and with his Shadow Clones this time.
" Ow! Owww..."
" Focus! Though it's just a little, your body is moving! Don't forget, "stay still"!" Fukasaku said
" Doing this without using the oil is a lot harder than I thought." Naruto said
" Of course it is! Don't expect it'll be so easy when you don't use the oil! Not even the slightest quiver!" Fukasaku said
" Say, I was just thinking..."
" What is it?" Fukasaku ask
" Why can't I just take this oil with me when I fight? Then I won't need to learn how to take in Nature Energy when I train." Naruto said
" That is impossible."
" Huh? Why?"
" Outside of Mount Myoboku's climate, this oil vaporizes immediately."
" No kidding?!"
" I thought I told you. The oil is only to help you grasp the concept."
" Yes, sir!"
" But the way you change into a frog so quickly... Naruto-boy, you lack concentration! You're not taking it seriously enough!"
" No, that's not true. After all, I did get the knack of this thing from the previous training."
" Enough! Just follow me!"
They went to a place full of spikes.
" Hey... This isn't what I'm thinking, is it?" Naruto ask
" It's exactly that. This is your next training site. Stack a stone slab atop that summit and begin Zen meditation. If your concentration wavers and you move even slightly, you will fall to the bottom of the ravine."
" F-From up there?"
Fukasaku hopped and picked up a stone slab.
" Hmm... This should do. Follow me, Naruto-boy!"
Naruto followed him up to the peak. He began his meditation but he started to waver.
" Stay still! You must learn to stop your motion as an animal. Find your own center of balance, and motionlessly synchronize with nature!" Fukasaku said
In the end, Naruto fell and Fukasaku extended his tongue and held onto Naruto. The slab broke into pieces after reaching the bottom of the ravine.
" S-Saved."
" Taking in Nature Energy will have to wait until you first perfect staying still." Fukasaku said
After a few more attempts...
" Maybe it's time for a break." Fukasaku said
They went down and sat down.
" Damn... It's this hard just to stay still... Isn't this training sorta ridiculous?" Naruto ask
" Such nonsense! Your master, Jiraiya-boy, managed this feat." Fukasaku said
" Huh? Don't tell me... Ero-Sennin trained here too?"
" Yes. He and I came here often. I must say, he had more guts than anyone else around." Fukasaku said
" Say, how long did Ero-Sennin take on this training?" Naruto ask
" Well, Jiraiya-boy came here to train between missions, so it took him some time..."
" I see." Naruto got up
" Naruto-boy?"
" Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! I don't have the luxury of time. So I have to pick up the pace! Ero-Sennin did the same training! So I've gotta do my best too! And I didn't mention about Aichi is because you keep saying he's a special case, so after this training and I can absorb Nature Energy, you can explain to me everything, okay?" Naruto ask
" Yeah."
After a few more attempts, they still fell.
" It's no good..."
" Focus, Naruto-boy!"
After a few more attempts, they ate something. Naruto was eating rice balls while Fukasaku was eating bugs again.
" That's pretty colourful and yummy looking." Naruto said
" Oh, would you like one, Naruto-boy? It's my favourite, larva rice balls." Fukasaku saud
" No thanks!"
They continued the training. Aichi and Gamakichi were watching somewhere behind the spikes.
" Oh no!" Gamakichi said
" Gamakichi-kun, look. He's not falling. He's improving." Aichi said
" Oh..."
Dark clouds covered the sky. Rain started to pour. But Naruto did not waver. The rain stopped but he still did not waver.
" He did it." Aichi said
" How does it feel?" Fukasaku ask
" Hmm... Now I kinda get what it means to become one with nature." Naruto said, that was when a bird landed on his shoulder
He immediately fell to the bottom again. Unsuccessfully landing.
" Owwww... Huh? It doesn't hurt that much..." Naruto said
" And that is Sennin Mode! Your body has been activated on many levels."
" W-Wow! Sennin Mode, huh?!"
" Now that you've mastered Sennin Mode, we've come to the final step."
" What?! Final step?! You mean there's more?!"
" It's a type of sparring that Sennin perform using Senjutsu chakra. Now I shall teach you how to do Frog Kumite!" Fukasaku said
They sparred until the evening.
" Naruto-boy, let's call it a day." Fukasaku said
" No, not yet!" Naruto said
" I'm the one that can't go on. However... You're starting to get the hang of it." Fukasaku said
" Yes, sir!"
They slept in his house. But Naruto got up. Naruto went to take a walk outside. He started to train.
~ After awhile~
" I pulled it off! Even though it's far from perfect... I need more practice while in Sennin Mode. And, I have to make sure no one sees me." Naruto said, panting
Aichi watched the whole situation unfold nearby.
" He's improving a lot. I need to do my best too." Aichi said and walked off
The next morning...
" Ah! You've made great progress!"
They continued sparring each other.
" Nice, Naruto-boy. That's some jumping power. Your Frog Kumite is also pretty good!"
" Heh... That's not all! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
" What?"
" It ain't over! I'm just getting started!"
" Come at me!"
They sparred till late again.
" You've improved a lot, Naruto-boy!" Fukasaku said
" Yeah! It took some time but it was worth it!" Naruto said
" Now then, as promised, since you've learned to absorb Nature Energy and use Frog Kumite, I'll tell you about Aichi-boy." Fukasaku said
Naruto nodded... Aichi and Gamakichi came out from behind a ravine.
" You see... His Sennin Mode is different from us. His Sennin Mode is like yours but at the same time, not like yours." Fukasaku said
" Ummm... I get it." Naruto said
" You don't, right?" Gamakichi ask
" Yes..." Naruto slumped
" Maybe it's simpler if I show it." Aichi said
" But, Aichi-boy..." Fukasaku said
" Don't worry, Fukasaku-sama. I'll be fine." Aichi said
Aichi sat down and focused. They could see the Nature Energy flowing into Aichi. After awhile, the process was completed.
" Is that all?" Naruto ask
" Look closely." Fukasaku said
Naruto narrowed his eyes. He saw... the Nature Energy chakra turning into something else, something swirling.
" It looks familiar..." Naruto said
" You've seen it somewhere, Naruto-boy?" Fukasaku ask
" I don't remember what it is... What is it?" Naruto pondered
" Well, you can watch then tell us because it's not over yet." Fukasaku said
" Huh?"
They continued watching. The marks of Sagehood appeared around Aichi's eyes, it was blue. It didn't bother Naruto at first but it bothered him when he sees an unknown aura coming from Aichi. It could be seen by anyone because the aura is surrounding Aichi.
" What... is that aura?" Naruto ask
" That's the second part of the mystery, the third one is a problem as well." Fukasaku replied
" Okay, I'm in Sennin Mode already." Aichi said, his eyes not opening
" Aichi? You're not opening your eyes." Naruto said
" That's the third mystery. He can't open them. He needs something to help open them. But try sparring with him." Fukasaku said
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
" But he can't see me, right?" Naruto ask
" Just do it."
" Yes, sir!"
They both got into fighting stance. Naruto made the first attack. He tried to land a punch on Aichi but...
" He disappeared?!"
Aichi appeared behind him. Landing a punch on Naruto.
" I thought he couldn't see." Naruto said
" I can sort of sense your chakra or I can see it." Aichi said
" Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
The clones and Naruto attacked but... an unknown sword appeared from behind Aichi, blocking each attack.
" What the...?!"
The clones were slashed by the sword and the sword and clones disappeared.
" That sword is something we've never seen before. It's like a defense for Aichi-boy." Fukasaku said
" But... That sword was familiar too... Hmmm... Where did I see them?" Naruto pondered again
" Aichi-boy!"
Naruto sees Aichi's legs wobbling and giving out. Naruto caught him in time before he fell.
" His Sennin Mode is gone." Naruto said
" That's the last mystery. Aichi-boy faints after awhile using Sennin mode." Fukasaku said
" Then..." Naruto said
" Yeah. He is a different case, like I said. But he can still use Frog Kumite and his jutsu, so it's not a problem." Fukasaku said
" So all this is still a mystery?" Naruto ask
" Yeah. But does anything ring a bell to you? Those two that you said it was familiar." Fukasaku said
" I don't know. Where did I see those two?" Naruto pondered
Suddenly, from the back of his memory, he remembered something.
" Ah! That!" Naruto said
" Naruto-boy?"
" Did you remember something, Naruto?" Gamakichi ask
" Yeah!"
Naruto searched Aichi's pocket.
" I'm sure he would bring it with him! Where is it?!" Naruto said
Naruto searched through some more. He found it... Aichi's deck case.
" What's that?" Fukasaku ask
" This is not important right now, but something inside!" Naruto said
He took out Aichi's deck. He searched through it. It should be here somewhere... He found it...
" Blaster Blade Liberator... That's it! This is the sword!" Naruto exclaimed
" This... It is that sword! How...?" Fukasaku ask
" Aichi told you everything about himself right?" Naruto ask
" Yeah. He's from another world." Fukasaku replied
" This card is from his world. His avatar... There is this planet called Cray in his world. Apparently, these guys, the cards, are actually real, existing in that planet." Naruto said
" But I still don't get why would his avatar come here."
" Both of them shares a bond, a kind of special bond. That might be why." Naruto said
" I see. But I still don't get the change in the chakra."
Naruto suddenly remembered that time when they were in search of Leon, Aichi needed to use Psy... Psy... Psy...
" Psyqualia! The thing that bonds a unit and human! That must be why! There's no doubt about it." Naruto said
" Wha...?"
" Psyqualia. It is something that is a sort of bond between a unit and human. But... To be sure..." Naruto said
" What do we need to do?" Gamakichi ask
" We need his eyes to open. Psyqualia is always at his eyes." Naruto said
" But we still don't know what is that aura he produced." Fukasaku said
" Misaki and Kamui should know about that. We can ask them after we get back." Naruto said
" Who's that?" Gamakichi ask
" Aichi's friends, they came from that world as well." Naruto replied
" Then, we need to find out the cause of his fainting." Fukasaku said
" No need. Psyqualia is also responsible for that. He faints after using Psyqualia too much." Naruto said
" Then... we need to wait. We've asked the Elder to do something about it. No doubt he'll do something about it." Fukasaku said
" Yeah."
Naruto placed Aichi's deck back and carried him on his back.
" For now, we'll let him rest at my house." Fukasaku said
" Actually... I see Aichi always sleeping on the leaves so maybe he's more comfortable on the leaves. And actually, he made one of the leaves his home. I can take you there." Gamakichi said
" Okay..."
They arrived at the giant leaf. Naruto settled Aichi on the giant leaf. Naruto noticed the same book that Fukasaku gave him beside Aichi.
" You gave him Ero-Sennin's book too?" Naruto ask
" Yeah." Fukasaku replied
" Looks like he missed Ero-Sennin too. He just doesn't show it." Naruto said
" He's one poor kid indeed. Bottling up most of his feelings." Fukasaku said
" But he's a strong kid too."
Naruto noticed Aichi's bundle on the leaf as well. Looking at the thing Aichi was resting on, it was a leaf folded like a pillow and a leaf as a blanket.
" He really made use of this leaf." Naruto said
" It's just a small space but he seems comfortable about it." Fukasaku said
" Yeah."
Meanwhile, at Konoha...
Shikamaru and the others were still trying to solve the informations given by Jiraiya...
" Jiraiya-sama sent back three sources of information..." Shikamaru said
" Namely, a ninja from the Hidden Rain... Pain's corpse... and... this secret message."
" Knowing Inochi in the Intel Division, he'll be able to get some kind of information out of the Hidden Rain ninja." Shikamaru said
" Shizune-senpai has put top priority on the autospy of Pain's corpse. She's sure to learn something too." Sakura said
" And this message we decoded with help from Naruto-kun... " The-Real-One's-Not-Among-Them."
" We'll have to take all this information and figure out the mystery behind this guy named Pain. The mystery of someone who could even take down Jiraiya-sama. " The-Real-One's-Not-Among-Them." Maybe the six Pains were genjutsu... A jutsu created by the female Akatsuki member who was also said to be present. And she's the one who physically attacked Jiraiya-sama from the shadows." Shikamaru said
" No... That's hard to imagine. According to Fukasaku-sama, Jiraiya-sama died from being stabbed by real weapons wielded by all six of them. Well, he took down three of them, but they supposedly resurrected themselves... It does sound like some unbelievable genjutsu." Sakura said
" Common sense has no meaning when it comes to Akatsuki. There have been others who were immortal." Shikamaru said
" In any case, let's keep hypothesizing all possible scenarios until we get reports from the others."
" You're right." Shikamaru said
" Let's at least be a little closer to solving Pain's mystery by the time Naruto and Aichi return from their training." Sakura said
Back to Naruto and Aichi...
They were eating their meal again.
" Well then... I'm going to procure us some fresh ingredients." Shima said and left for the door
" Not more of that gross stuff... Aw man..." Naruto thought
" I hope we can survive these meals... My body might not be able to take much more..." Aichi thought
" Ma! Make sure you get some stamina-building stuff!" Fukasaku said
After awhile...
" You are able to mold Senjutsu chakra and have pretty much mastered Frog Kumite and Senpou Techniques. Now I have one final thing to say to you." Fukasaku said
" Wh-What is it? You're suddenly so serious." Naruto said
" Well... It's about the risks of using Sennin Mode." Fukasaku said
" Risks?"
" Yes... Once you fully grasp the risks involved, then you can use Sennin Mode to its fullest extent!" Fukasaku said
" So, what are the risks?" Naruto ask
" First, as you're probably aware, you can't maintain Sennin Mode for too long. Maybe five minutes at most. Also, to amass the Nature Energy necessary to enter Sennin Mode, you must follow the principal of staying still. Thus, it cannot be used once you begin battle. For when you are still, you become an easy target for your enemy." Fukasaku explained
" I see..."
" Right? So the only time you can go into Sennin Mode is when you've got plenty of comrades around you that can free you up. If you are alone, but must go into Sennin Mode, withdraw from battle momentarily and gather Nature Energy." Fukasaku said
" What?! Then Sennin Mode is useless! So what was all this training for?" Naruto said
" Don't be so disappointed. That is why I am here, to alleviate that risk." Fukasaku said
" What do you mean?"
" If you and I merge our bodies, it'll be fine!" Fukasaku replied
Naruto imagined merging with Fukasaku and...
" No!" He panicked
" When I say merge, it simply means to be lightly attached to your shoulder or back." Fukasaku said
" Oh, that's all... But how does merging make things fine?" Naruto ask
" Simply put, it's to split the roles of stillness and action. When one is moving, the other stays still and gathers Nature Energy. In Jiraiya-boy's case, the final form of his Sennin Mode had Ma and me both riding on his shoulders." Fukasaku said
" I see... I get it now."
" Don't you worry, Naruto-boy!" Fukasaku said
" Okay!" The both of them high-five
" Aichi-boy, you should also be careful. Your Sennin Mode has more risks." Fukasaku said
" I got it, Fukasaku-sama." Aichi said
Back to Konoha...
Misaki and Kamui were still training when they heard an explosion.
" What is it?!" Kamui exclaimed
" Are we under attack?!" Misaki exclaimed
Shikamaru and the others were still trying to decode when they heard the explosion.
" What was that?" Shikamaru said
They looked outside the window to see the attack.
" What's that?" Sakura ask
" Let's go!" Shikamaru said
Everybody heard the explosions. Ino and Choji were walking when they heard the explosion.
" What was that?" Ino ask
A giant summoned centipede attacked the nearby houses.
" Choji! I'll notify the Intel Division." Ino said
" Right!" Choji said
" I have to get Pa!" Choji thought
Ino ran into the Intel Division.
" Father! The village is..." Ino said
Meanwhile, one of the summoned centipedes were attacking an old lady and a child!
" Cha!"
Sakura punched the centipede hard.
" Are you alright?!" Sakura ask
" U-Uh-huh." The girl nodded
" Th-Thank you so much!" The old lady thanked
The girl was hurt and Sakura went to heal her.
" Thank goodness! Your wound is not too deep." Sakura said
" Thank you..."
" Sakura! Are you alright?" Iruka ask
" Iruka Sensei... Just what's going on?" Sakura ask
" I don't know. But someone is attacking Konoha! The situation has been reported to Tsunade-sama. The alarm should sound soon." Iruka said
" The village is under direst attack? Who would do such a thing?" Sakura said
Another explosion.
" Let's go, Iruka!"
" Right! Sakura, hurry to the hospital and tend to the wounded. It's full of injured people." Iruka said
" Yes, sir!" Sakura said
Sakura watched the flames burn and thought of something.
" It can't be..." Sakura thought
" Miss..." The girl said
" It's going to be alright! We have Hokage-sama on our side!" Sakura said
" Uh-huh!" The girl nodded
" Sakura-san!" It was Kamui
" Are you alright?!" Misaki ask
" I'm fine! Oh, right! Does any one of you know medical ninjutsu yet?" Sakura ask
" I can." Misaki said
" Still learning..." Kamui said
" The hospital needs help, it's full of injured people. I'm about to go help too." Sakura said
" We'll follow!" Misaki said
" Right! Let's go!" Sakura said
" Yeah!"
They ran to the hospital. The explosions continue as people ran and scream.
" What was that?!" Kurenai said
" Stop! You mustn't go outside!" Shikamaru said
" Shikamaru! What's going on?!" Kurenai ask
" The Akatsuki has entered our territory." Shikamaru replied
A giant centipede attacked all of a sudden. Shikamaru stopped it with his jutsu.
" Kurenai Sensei, can you step back?" Shikamaru ask
Kurenai immediately ran somewhere for cover.
" Drop dead!"
His shadows threw some kunai with paper bombs attached. Shikamaru ran to Kurenai's side.
" Get down!"
The centipede exploded to pieces.
" Are you alright?" Kurenai ask
" I'm fine. But Sensei, please use the underground tunnel and go to the evacuation shelter. I'll escort you part way. If anything should happen to you or the baby, I wouldn't be able to face Asuma." Shikamaru said
" Shikamaru..."
Sakura and the others were on their way to the hospital when there were more explosions. A crumpled building crushed many people under it.
" Let's keep going." Misaki said
They headed towards the hospital.
Meanwhile, Naruto is still training... Gamakichi arrived.
" Huh? Where's Naruto?" Gamakichi ask
" Can't you tell?" Fukasaku ask
" Heh?"
" Look carefully!" Fukasaku pointed above him
Gamakichi shook his head. He finally spotted Naruto.
" Naruto... I didn't notice him at all." Gamakichi said
" Impressive... Look how far he's come in being one with nature." Fukasaku said
Naruto jumped down. The slate falling down as well.
" Watch out, Fukasaku-sama!"
Gamakichi blocked the slate from hitting Fukasaku.
" Oww... Are you alright, Fukasaku-sama?" Gamakichi ask
" Hey! Hurry and get off me! You're heavy!" Fukasaku said
" Naruto... You idiot!" Gamakichi yelled
Sakura and the others finally arrived at the hospital...
" Choji!" Sakura said
" I brought you pills." Choji said
" Thanks."
When they went inside, it was full of injured people...
" What is...?!" Sakura exclaimed
" There's lots of them severely wounded." Misaki said
" This is too cruel..." Kamui said
" What is all of this?" Sakura ask
" Sakura-san! You're just in time. Please take command." A medic said
" Huh? What about Shizune-senpai?" Sakura ask
" She's not here."
" Oh, that's right. She's in the middle of the autospy." Sakura said
" There are so many wounded, even the Medical Ninja are in a state of confusion. We need someone to take charge and give us orders." The medic said
" Take charge?!"
Sakura looked around. Misaki gave an reassuring tap on her shoulder.
" Don't worry. You'll be fine." Misaki said
" Yeah!" Kamui agreed
" Here. Why not eat this and just do your best?" Choji said, taking out a pill
" This is for the wounded, not me!" Sakura said
She took the bag from Choji.
" If you're able to walk, please go to the evacuation shelter. Shortly, many more seriously wounded will arrive! Those who are critical will be red! If treatment can wait, they are yellow! And those with minor injuries are green! Tag them with ribbons and separate them!" Sakura said
" Y-Yes, ma'am."
" You're... amazing." Choji said
" We knew you could do it." Misaki said
" Good job." Kamui said
" I'm going back! You're in charge here." Choji said
" Yes!" Sakura said
Choji left the hospital. Sakura picked up a victim of the blast.
" Are you alright? Can you breathe?" Sakura ask
" We'll go see if we can treat some of their injuries." Misaki said
" Thank you."
" Kamui, I'm going to drill the medical techniques to your brains right now. Even if it tires you out. We have tons of people to heal." Misaki said
" Right, Misaki-san!" Kamui said
The two ran off to help the people.
Meanwhile, Tsunade is...
" All right! I will return to call Naruto back." The messenger toad said
" I'm counting on you!" Tsunade said
The door opened.
" Stop! Leave Naruto on Mount Myoboku." The Old Counselor Lady said( I forgot their names so I will just call them Old counselor lady and man until I know their names.)
" What?!"
" We understand that it's the Akatsuki's leader who has attacked our village." The Old Counselor Man said
" How did you find out?" Tsunade ask
" We heard it from Danzo." The Old Counselor Lady replied
" Moreover, they are after Naruto's Jinchuriki power." The Old Counselor Man said
" So what of it?" Tsunade ask
" The last time, we gave you the benefit of the doubt. But not this time. Naruto is still a child! This is the assailant who brought Jiraiya down! If Naruto is taken and the Kyuubi falls into their hands... Wha-?! What are you doing?! Y-You... Unhand us, Tsunade!" The Old Counselor Lady said
" How dare you raise your hand against us counselors..." The Old Counselor Man said
" Who do you think you are?! How long do you intend to treat him like a child? The will of Konoha has been passed on and it's growing! Naruto is striving to surpass Jiraiya this very minute! He's not a hidden weapon to be used by Konoha as a deterrent to war! He is a ninja who has sworn to protect Konoha... He is Naruto Uzumaki!" Tsunade yelled straight at their faces
She let go of them and let them drop to the ground.
" Jiraiya, Sarutobi Sensei and Chiyo-sama of the Sand all had what you two lack. Do you know what that is? What Sarutobi Sensei and Chiyo-sama of the Sand had, and what you two lack. That is... The power to believe! In the same way that my grandfather, the First Hokage, believed in you and entrusted Konoha to you... It is time for you to believe, and entrust to the next generation!" Tsunade said
The two got up.
" Do as you please." And the two left
Shizune was outside the door.
" Tsunade-sama!" Shizune said
" Did you learn anything?" Tsunade ask
" Yes! This here!" Shizune said, showing the rod
" What is it?" Tsunade ask
" It seems to be a receiver for chakra signals. Pain's corpse has these inserted throughout his body." Shizune said
" A receiver?!"
" According to what Fukasaku-sama said, all six Pains had these stuck in their bodies and faces."
" Does this mean that the six Pains receive some kind of chakra signal through their bodies, then take action?" Tsunade said
" That part isn't clear yet."
" A receiver... Or they use it to transmit chakra to each other. Something wireless..." Tsunade said
" Also, this has definitely been activated. This must be connected to the secret of Pain's strength. Together with the data the Interrogation Corps gathers, we'll figure this out." Shizune said
" According to the Intel Division, the enemy is looking for Naruto. This enemy, who infiltrated the village is undoubtedly Pain." Tsunade said
" Pain..."
" We must tell Fukasaku-sama of the situation in detail. Messenger frog! When you go to summon Naruto, relay this message as well." Tsunade said
" Understood!"
" Shizune, take the data from the autospy, collaborate with Interrogation Corps and find out just who Pain is! Anbu Black Ops cell B will provide Shizune with a protective escort! Subsequently, you are to guard the Interrogation Corps! Do not allow the enemy to get near them!" Tsunade said
" Yes, ma'am!"
" I will wait for further news on the rooftop, and I will provide treatment for all the wounded through Katsuyu! I will use all my power to protect the village! Let's go!" Tsunade said
They left the room.
" Right! I must rush to Fukasaku-sama too!" The Messenger Frog said
When all of a sudden, a sword killed him. It was Danzo. Meanwhile, on the rooftop...
" Summoning Jutsu!" Tsunade said
Katsuyu appeared from the summoning.
" Starting now, attach yourself to every ninja and citizen in Konoha! Take in my chakra and use it to treat all their injuries!" Tsunade said
" It seems the village is in dire straits." Katsuyu said
" Never mind, just go." Tsunade said
" I understand."
Katsuyu dispersed and went around the village.
" I will protect this village, no matter what happens! I swear upon my title of Hokage!" Tsunade said
Meanwhile, at the hospital...
Sakura just finished healing another person.
" I'm done with first-aid treatment. Please finish with the splint." Sakura said
" Right..."
" Sakura! One more wounded! Hurry!" Iruka said
" All right. Please lay him down there. Misaki, Kamui, come and help me." Sakura said
" Yes!"
Meanwhile, Naruto is...
" So here you are. Naruto-boy, every once in awhile, you disappear. Where do you go?" Fukasaku ask
" Well... nowhere in particular. I just wander around..." Naruto replied
" Well, no matter. I want to practice merging now, so come down now." Fukasaku said
" I wonder if they're okay." Naruto said
" What do you mean?"
" The Akatsuki want me, right? I'm worried they will come looking for me in Konoha." Naruto said
" Are you a fool?! Konoha has many fine ninjas! Stop your unnecessary musings and concentrate on the work at hand! If anything happens, the messenger frog will notify us." Fukasaku said
" All right! Let's get on with this merging stuff!" Naruto said
They beginned the training. Aichi was watching somewhere in the shadows again.
" All right! This completes the steps to Sennin Mode... We'll now begin the merge training!" Fukasaku said
" Y-Yeah! So basically, you're gonna get on my shoulder, right?" Naruto ask
" Correct!"
Fukasaku hopped on Naruto's shoulder.
" While you move, I draw in Nature Energy. This is a training to hone that combination. Now then, let us synchronize our breathing." Fukasaku said
" Yeah..."
All of a sudden, Fukasaku got thrown off Naruto's shoulder. Aichi blinked.
" Did I just see... If so... he seems stubborn. Looks like he doesn't want to share his space with Fukasaku-sama..." Aichi thought
" A-Are you okay, Jii-chan?" Naruto ask
" S-Strange... Let's try it once more." Fukasaku said
He hopped on Naruto one more time. Again, he got thrown off Naruto's shoulder.
" ... No mistaking it. He's a stubborn fox." Aichi thought
" It seems this is not possible." Fukasaku said
" Not possible?!"
" I suspect that the Kyuubi inside you is rejecting me." Fukasaku said
" Yeah. I can see him. He rejected Fukasaku-sama at full force." Aichi said
Aichi kept his laughter in since he knew why the Kyuubi rejected Fukasaku.
" No way! Then what was all that training for?! What are we gonna do?!" Naruto ask (Episode 160, 10:31)
Fukasaku and Aichi could only laugh awkwardly...
Meanwhile at Konoha, one of the Pains had done a full scale of summoning jutsu... People are all running and screaming from the summoned animals.
Meanwhile, Naruto is...
" If we can't merge, I have no choice but to pull in Nature Energy while I'm moving!" Naruto said
" And I said that's impossible! I never imagined this would happen after coming this far." Fukasaku said
Naruto stopped his running.
" I'm not giving up! If that's what it takes, then I'll keep at it until it works!" Naruto said
" But I'm saying it's impossible! I-I'm sorry... I know this is hard to accept, but it's physically impossible." Fukasaku said
" That code on your back was a message to me from the Ero-Sennin." Naruto said
" Yes, I know that. And thanks to you, Naruto-boy, it's become a key to solving the mystery of Pain-" Fukasaku said but got cut off
" Not just that. It's also a message for me not to give up until the very end." Naruto said
" But still..."
" I'm Ero-Sennin's student. No... make that the both of us. And if that message is our master's Ninja Way... then we... We have no business whining!" Naruto said
Aichi was still hiding in the shadows.
" Jiraiya-sensei... We'll definitely avenge you!" Aichi thought
Meanwhile, Misaki and Kamui headed out of the hospital to see if they could still help...
" If you do not answer my question, it's over for you..." They heard a voice say
They hid in behind one of the crumbled building and saw the scene in front of them.
" What is that?!" Kamui ask
" It's one of the Pain member." Katsuyu said
" Pain?" Misaki ask
" I will ask you one more time." The Pain member said
A purple flame appeared behind him and a head appeared beside him.
" It looks disgusting." Kamui said
" Is Naruto Uzumaki in the village or not? Which is it?" The Pain member ask the two ninjas he was holding on to.
" I know nothing! So get lost!"
" We don't know a thing! Let us go!"
" I see... Then I shall pass judgement." The Pain member said
The two ninjas tongues suddenly came out. The mysterious head's mouth opened and two tongues in the shape of hands grabbed the tongues.
" What is he doing to them?!" Kamui ask
" I don't know." Misaki replied
The head's tongue released one of them and took the other one and ate the tongue.
" What the...?!" Kamui exclaimed
" It seems that whoever lies to them will end up like that." Misaki said
" It seems you truly did not know." The Pain member said and let go of the ninja who is unconscious or dead.
They heard a bang sound coming from the alley across them. The Pain member also notice and dragged the other ninja with him to the alley. Another ninja suddenly jumped in front of the alley.
" It seems you went ahead to do as you please! I have no mercy for a scum like you!" Ebisu said
" That's reckless!" Misaki said
" You can't! Right now, you only know how to use medical ninjutsu and have not even learned any ninjutsu yet! It's dangerous to go out there!" Katsuyu said
" But...!" Kamui said
They watched on...
" It'll take more than that to kill me!" Ebisu said
Ebisu looked at the alley and got distracted. The Pain member kicked him hard.
" That has got to hurt." Kamui said
" Is he alright?" Misaki ask
The Pain member is now holding him up.
" Is Naruto Uzumaki in the village, or not? If you know, speak up." The Pain member said
" He keeps asking for Naruto. What does he want with him?" Misaki ask
" I don't know." Kamui said
" N-Naruto-kun...?" Ebisu said
" It seems you know Naruto Uzumaki. Then tell me where he is." The Pain member said
" I may... not look it... But I hold the elite rank of instructor. Naruto-kun is my student. Long ago, I considered him a nuisance. Who stood in the way of Konohamaru-kun's rise to Hokage. That's what I believed... However, Naruto-kun didn't allowed his cursed fate to discourage him. With unending optimism and a never-say-die attitude he faced one challenge after another and overcame them. The important lessons which I could not teach, despite being an instructor, Naruto-kun taught them to my students." Ebisu said
" You... have rambled on too long. This is your last chance. Do you know where Naruto is, or don't you? Answer me! Or else I'll kill you." The Pain mamber said
" Naruto-kun is a member of Konoha! I have no intention of telling you Akatsuki anything!"
" I see... Then..." The same head came out again
" He's going to do it again!" Kamui exclaimed
" Katsuyu-sama! Is there anything we can do?!" Misaki ask
" I'm sorry..." Katsuyu said
" Tch!"
" Die..." The Pain member said
Kunais suddenly stabbed his arm out of nowhere.
" I'll take you on!" Konohamaru said
" That's...!" Kamui exclaimed
" Stupid! He'll kill him!" Misaki exclaimed
" I was taught that... there's no shortcut in the world of the ninja!" Konohamaru said
" Konohamaru-kun! Why didn't you run away?! You have the potential to one day become a Hokage! Do not waste your life in a place like this!" Ebisu said
" I made a promise long ago. To fight Naruto nii-chan over the title of Hokage... That's what we promised. Nii-chan is my rival! So I'll never choose to run away! Because Naruto nii-chan won't be waiting at the end of that short path!" Konohamaru said
An explosion...
" What's going to happen to him?!" Kamui ask
" I don't know. But, right now, both of your priorities are to heal all the injured. Don't get into fights until then." Katsuyu said
" But..." Misaki said
" It is Tsunade-sama's orders." Katsuyu said
" Y-Yes!"
The two ran off to help Ebisu and the other two men.
Meanwhile, Naruto was still...
" Oww! Not just yet! Let's keep on going!" Naruto said
" He's so stubborn... Let's take a break, Naruto-boy. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep up." Fukasaku said
" That's no good! We have to keep going to make up for the time we spent on the training up until now!" Naruto said
" Look, you've never had this kind of training before. To run and gather Nature Energy, for which the foundation is bring still, is like telling you to look to the left when you are looking to the right." Fukasaku said
Naruto realized something...
" Ah!"
" What is it?" Fukasaku ask
Meanwhile, Misaki and Kamui are...
" The summoned beasts are retreating." Misaki said
" Why?" Kamui ask
" This is bad! Shizune has been captured by one of the Pains!" Katsuyu said
" What?!"
" And it seems now the Pains know where is Naruto." Katsuyu continued
" Oh no!"
Naruto and Fukasaku were in the middle of sparring while Aichi still watches them from the shadows.
" Bad news! Fukasaku-sama!" A voice said
They all turned to the voice.
" What is wrong?" Fukasaku ask
" Kosuke nii-chan, our messenger, has been killed."
" What?!"
" His name... vanished from the register."
" Does that mean something has happened to Konoha?" Fukasaku said
" What?!"
" Then... What about Misaki-san and Kamui-kun?! They still don't know a single ninjutsu except for medical!" Aichi thought
" Naruto-boy, Aichi-boy, I have a bad feeling." Fukasaku said
" Jii-chan Sennin... Don't tell me the Akatsuki attacked the village!" Naruto said
" Luckily, Ma went to gather provisions and is near Konoha. She will be capable of summoning strong warriors, including us. Get ready now!" Fukasaku said
" Right!"
At the hospital, more and more patients are coming in. Even with the three helping, they won't be able to get to everyone in this situation. Meanwhile, Shizune's soul got taken away by one of the Pains. The Pains all suddenly disappeared simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Fukasaku got some preparations done.
" I'm counting on you! Make sure Ma gets the message!" Fukasaku said
" Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, Shima saw the whole chaos...
" That's coming from Konoha... Oh my goodness..." Shima said
" Shima-sama! I came through the distance teleporting pool. I have a message from Fukasaku-sama!" The messenger toad said
" To summon them, eh?"
Shima prepared the summoning jutsu. Pain unleashed a bright flash of light. Shima has also finished the preparations for the summoning jutsu.
" Summoning jutsu!"
Explosions were everywhere and the village was torn and totally destroyed. At the now destroyed hospital... Sakura, Misaki and Kamui moved the crumbled rocks away from them. They saw the whole disaster that had struck them.
" W-What is this?!" Misaki said
" The village is...!" Kamui exclaimed
" How could this hap- Naruto... Hurry... Please, Naruto!" Sakura shouted
" Sakura-san..."
They heard a summoning jutsu being activated. The ones who have arrived are... wearing a cape red or blue ( You can guess who is wearing which colour right?), crossed arms with a giant scroll behind them... and in their Sennin Mode! The ones that they summoned... They've arrived! Naruto, Aichi, Fukasaku and their summoned toad warriors along with them!
That's the end of this chapter! The battle with Pain is next! What will happen in the battle?! Find out in the next chapter! Thank you for reading and please review!
