Chapter 25

The next morning, Gumball was at his home in his bed after being release from the hospital. His body have been recovered from his battle with the former commander Zu. His mind was focus on his story. It's been awhile since he read it and found out that his story came to life by the magical book he had in his hands. When he open the book, he was surprise of seeing more than fifty pages come to life as words were appear on each page. Amuka have said that the pages won't revealed once Gumball have first witness it, which in his defense, it was a load of crap. After his other siblings have left for the morning for their last day of The Academy, Gumball took the time of reading his book.

So far, he have read several chapters of it; chapters that he have first witness in front of his eyes. The Academy, the senseis, his family, his friends, and the graduation exam. Everything. Gumball has to admitted that even if he's trapped in the story world, he still one heck of a writer. Right now, he's at the part where the hero is facing the ex-commander Zu in the woods. He scowl at the name and the events that led him to do this drastic act. The young cat, still shaken up by it, kept reading what was on the words.

The twelve year old ninja kept running through the trees with the forbidden scroll in his hands. He couldn't have know that the commander who have first been nice to him from the beginning have trick him of stealing the scroll. The deal that he had made with Zu was if he could steal the forbidden scroll from The Sky Lord's residence, the commander would help to take over the city of Rome as part of his revenge for their plot to make him failed of being a shinobi. He was worried of his parents after saving them from the man. He was still worried about them, even after they lied for the burden they have to carry for him.

This was the biggest thing about him.

Throughout his whole life, his family has been shunned and outcast like him because he was the one who destroy the city at the time of his birth. It was no wonder why everyone, including the students, hated him. They see him as a demon with unholy powers.

His mind was so focus that he didn't see an kunai knife with a paper bomb attach to it on the handle before erupting in a blast, knocking the ninja on the ground.

His back was not entirely burn from the impact; he get up from the ground, still with the scroll in his hand. He sense the enemy from in front of him.

The commander known as Zu look at his target with the same scowls and glares that everybody have made toward the boy. The young ninja get up despite the blast have injured his back.

Zu scowled with such contempt "Give me the scroll and I'll let you live."

The ninja held tightly on the scroll before replying with a glare "Never."

"Heh." The man let out a small grin at him. "You really think you can stop me, brat? You really think that after you stop me, you'll become a shinobi? You think that's going to change the city's views on you?"

"Shut up. I'll make them change." The ninja's anger was born as it was increasing.

"You can't change people's views. They'll only know one thing and one thing they'll see. They'll see you as what they always see you."

"Shut up." The ninja's voice raise up.

"You're different from the rest of this society, a society that you'll never be a part off."

"Shut up!"

"You're only an uncontrollable demon; a spawn of your own burdens and an abomination of the devil itself! You would not be love or accept! Now die!" Finished the commander as he throws another kunai knife with a paper bomb towards the ninja, who is infused with his hatred.

Suddenly, the knife was not hit at him, but at a tree, setting up by the bomb itself.

The commander stopped and looked at his target; the ninja's whole body was surrounded with a blue cloak. His fingernails grew long in sharp, his eyes became white and his whiskers became curve in a threatening manner. The cloak had tiny lightings around it. A small hissing noise was coming from the boy's stomach as it was burning up. A blue fire was erupted on the boy's shirt, and once the fire die down, a two four elephant seals that was act as a barrier and inside the barrier is a symbol of a lighting.

Not being afraid, the commander stated "So, it looks like your truth powers have been still intact even after that old fool took almost all of it and seal it into that scroll."

The young ninja roar out a blood-chilling scream onto the heavens. Rogue waves were blown onto the commander's face, but he remain on his ground.

"Well, since he's here and the troopers are still out there looking for you for your death sentence, allow me to take the privilege of earning it!" Declared the man before going through his battle stands and doing a couple of hand seals.

The young ninja charges at the enemy before Zu cried-

A small knock have interrupted Gumball of reading the battle. He look at the door that he lock it once his siblings were gone.

"Elder. Is that you?"

Gumball recognize the voice as his other mother. He said "Uh, yeah, just a second, mom." He got up from his bed and quickly put the book inside his backpack. He then unlock the door before uttering "Come in."

The door open up, revealing Olicen, Drachir and, to Gumball's surprise, The Sky Lord himself. The three of them enter the room. Gumball greeted before bowing in respect "Hello there, mom, dad and Sky Lord."

"That won't be necessarily, young one." Replied The Sky Lord with one hand up.

"No offense, sir, but why are you here this early?"

Olicen answered "He is here to help you, Elder with your...you know." She was uneasy of saying it to her own child.

"Oh." Gumball said.

"Now Elder, what am I going to tell you is between you and me. But first, what don't we eat some breakfast?"

Gumball smiled "Yeah, I'm starving. What are we having?"

"Actually," Drachir added. "Me and your mother have already eaten, why don't you and The Sky Lord go to that ramen shop you always go?"

"You guy sure? You don't want to-"

"No." Answered Olicen. "Go on ahead, Elder."

Gumball shrugged "Alright, I got to change first." The three adults went out of the room before Elder closed the door, locking it again.

Olicen turn to The Sky Lord with concern in her voice "Are you sure this would word, Ezekiel?"

"I'm sure of it, Olicen." The Sky Lord replied. "You just leave it to me and his mentor."

At the ramen shop, Gumball and The Sky Lord were enjoying a fresh bowl of miso ramen, which he have already eaten in a few minutes. The cat loves ramen; he just couldn't stop eating it all! The Sky Lord lay out a few chuckles over his surrogate grandson and his love of ramen. Gumball was eating his seventh ramen as the six empty bowls were right beside him.

The Sky Lord remarked "Elder, don't you ever get sick or gain weight by eating too much ramen?"

"Nah." The young blue car replied. "It never have and it never would." Gumball kept slurping the noodles into his mouth before he turn to the old man "So what did you want to see me?"

"Its about that seal in yours, Elder." The Sky Lord's face turn to seriousness. Gumball stop eating the noodles before swallowing it.

Gumball have just accepted the face said "We already discuss this, sir. I'm fine with having to know what I am like you say."

"Its not that; it's something else."

"Then what is it?" Gumball asked while being confused.

"The doctors have run a diagnosis on you and found out that the seal is starting to be weak."

"Weak?" Repeated the young blue cat." What do you mean?"

"When you were in under the influence of the seal, your emotions have taken over you and started to expand your charka. Once you return to normal, the seal have already become weaken and if you start to let it control you, you will bring utter destruction upon the world." Finished The Sky Lord.

Gumball remain silence and look at his bowl, not even bothering of eating more. He knew that he was first born with the seal and was under the control of it, but he didn't know that this results that the old man have lay upon him. "So..." He speak slowly. "So, what's the plan here?"

"The plan is simple, Elder." Stated Ezekiel. "I have already place with a mentor who will help you with your problem."

Gumball beamed "Really?!" However, his happiness died when he have just thought of something. "But all the other teachers from the Academy hate me."

"Not this one, Elder." Added Ezekiel. "This men is one of the teachers that don't see you as the seal."

"Well, then who is he? Where is he?" Gumball's happiness resume back to his face.

Before the old man could answer, his eyes pick up on a stranger and smiled "Ah, there he is."

Gumball turn around to see his mentor, but was surprise of who it was. A tall, middle age fluffy cloud creature, his hair has a small ponytail on the back and his eyes are round and colored olive green with red pupils. The clothes he was wearing resembles a rainbow; his shirt is red while his sleeves are blue, his jacket is light blue, his pants is dark green and his purple bandana is wear onto his head with his headpiece attach to it.

Gumball thought Mr. Smalls' is my mentor?!

The old man kept his smile at the middle age teacher. "Ah, Nevets. Glad you could come."

The man in this universe known as Nevets bow in respect toward the man and replied "Good morning, Sky Lord. I hear that you needed me."

"Yes, you'll be training young Elder here for his problem and chakra control. I trust that you'll be in good hands with the boy."

Nevets replied with a smile "I would do whatever it takes to teach the boy."

"Uh, Sky Lord, are you sure you want to let this guy train me? No offensive, but he's kinda...ya know." Said Gumball who lay out a small whistle as he roll around his ear with his index finger.

"Now Elder, there's no need for that. Nevets here is a level five skilled shinobi; an elite as you may say."

Gumball look at the mentor in surprise and with his mouth hung open. He's...an elite. Gumball thought in disbelieve.

"Well, since you're here. I guess I should be going now. Nevets, you will take over explaining Elder's faults."

"I will, Sky Lord." Nevets bowed again as The Sky Lord disappear surrounding in mist clouds.

Gumball look at the mentor and asked "So...when do we start training, sensei?"

"Before we train, we should review of your faults."

"My...faults." Repeated the young blue cat.

"See, every ninja is born with chakra has a line between it; there's your spiritual energy and human energy. From those two inside the chakra are called 'Stamina." The 'Stamina' flows around your body when you use a regular jutsu or a very difficult jutsu. The 'Stamina' is at its peaks at one hundred percent. When you use a regular jutsu, a simple hand signs and chakra control is needed, pushing the 'Stamina' to about ten percent to your chakra like the cloning jutsu. However, this jutsu needed to be fully function."

"Function?" Repeated the cat again.

"Using about ten percent of your chakra could create about three clones, but not powerful or everlasting. In short terms, your clones won't be able to stand a chance against any enemy. If you push your chakra to about thirty percent, you could create to about five or seven clones that will fight by your side and not disappear. However, if you use less than thirteen percent of chakra, you'll create clones, but not all of them will niether dodge or cover for a surprise attack. Take you for example, you created four clones back at the Academy because you use what very little you have in your chakra."

"Okay, I understand that, but what about when you want to use a more powerful jutsu?" Asked Gumball.

"Ah," Nevets pointed out with his hand up. "now that is where I'm heading. There are four type of jutsus every ninja should known; D level, C level, B level and there's an A level. A rookie is only capable of using only a D and C level jutsus like cloning for instance. If they're are willing to use either a B or A, then they have to focus on the amount of chakra and hand signs to complete it. The downside is that some of the advance jutsus are very risky and dangerous; the amount of chakra that you are pushing to use this type of jutsu can damage your whole body or die. Right now, your chakra is about ten percent and could only use a few C or D level jutsus. If you use any of those jutsu that are way too advance for you and your chakra can't handle it, you will surely died."

Gumball gulped slowly and his eyes were shot back to its socket. He remember what The Sky Lord have said that he almost died when he was control by the seal.

"But not to worry, young Elder! I would personally help you control your chakra and build it all up!" Declared the middle age elite. Extending his hand in front of the boy, Gumball took the hint of taking his head. Grabbing the elite's hand with his paw, Nevets took two fingers and held it up close to his face. Suddenly, the two are being surrounded by mist clouds before they were gone.

The owner of the shop then came by and notice the sixth empty bowls and the customers were gone.

"Hey! They forgot to pay to the bill!"

Gumball and Nevets have arrived in another location in the city. Gumball look to see a small bridge that was surrounding by a small waterfall in a body of river. The water was steaming heat from above. There were two small picket fence separately right in front of the cat and his mentor.

Gumball asked in awed "Where are we?"

"We're in a secluded place where no one will bother us. This is a special training that is used between the master and the student since the time Eromle was founded. Those who have visit here could never tell another soul about this area."

Gumball look at it and admitted it was nice, but the only thing he was confuse is why he didn't take him to the woods instead? He wish he could have know the answer if not for the giggles.

Wait, giggles?

Gumball turn around and saw a large building right in front of him. Hearing the giggles again, he concluded that it was a female laugh. In fact, it was all female laugh. Curiosity took his whole body, he walk right through the building and saw a small peephole on the surface of the wall. He crouches down and look at the hole. As soon as he was seeing, his whole body turn bright red and his mind shut down completely.

Inside there were women. Lots and lots of women! And they were naked! Gumball wasn't dreaming nor couldn't believe his eyes; they were naked and surrounded by a hot steam like a bath!

Nevets saw what he was doing and bonk him on the head lightly. He said "Now, now, we can't have none of that, do we, Elder?"

Gumball, still blushing, whispered loudly, not interrupting the girls in the hot bath "Why are we here, sensei?!"

"We are here to start with our training, Elder." Nevets repeated, not knowing the shocked look at the blue cat.

"How?! By looking at naked women in the bathhouse?!" Gumball look at his sensei, concluding that he is a pervert.

"Oh, relax. We're not here to spy on them. I'm not into that. These women are one of God's children. I was not made to spy on them so shamelessly."

Gumball muttered "Yeah right. We're going to take a bath before we start training?"

"No, my young grasshopper. We are going to start training, right here and right now."

"Huh?!"

"Our training will consist of three stages. The first stage of the training is walking. I want you to walk on top of the hot spring water." Explained Navets.

"Walk on top of the what?!" Shouted whispered Gumball.

"It's quite simple really. All you have to do is gathering up a few amount chakra directly to your feet and walk the water. Your feet must connect the variations of the water beneath you. It's quite difficult with your low chakra, but if you gather just a few and transfer it to both of your feets, you will remain still completely."

Gumball narrowed his eyes at him, thinking that he's crazy of asking him to do this "Are you serious, sensei? I can't do that!"

"Well then, allow me to demonstrate." Spoken the middle age elite. Holding two fingers up to him and close his eyes, he explained "First, channel a few chakra directly to your feet." Gumball saw a low blue aura around his feet. Nevets then started taking his right foot and walk to the hot spring water, startling the blue cat. "Then you must keep it all together from your feet and match the variations of the water below, as well as your body."

Gumball's mouth hung open as he sees the crazy middle aged men walk the water without falling in below. He was remain still as he walked a few feet away from the blue cat, turning to him directly.

Gumball said in awed "Whoa! That's cool!"

"Now you try."

"Alright!" Gumball declared as he put two fingers close to him and channel most of his ten percent chakra to his feets. He then walk to the water, but as soon as he step inside, his entire body have sunk into the hot springs water. Gumball come out of the water with his entire body burn by the temperature of the water with a scream.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you; the temperature of the hot springs is about 60 degrees celsius. So be very careful of not falling in!" Chuckled the middle age man.

"Now you tell me." Muttered the blue cat as he got up from the water. Trying again, Gumball channel his chakra to his feet and walk towards the water before his entire body have fallen to the water, releasing another scream. Nevets did nothing but watch the show as he sees his student failed. He felt bad for the cat, but he can't stop laughing at the part where Elder goes to the water. Gumball have try it over five times, getting burn marks all over his body.

Nevets said while trying to contain himself from laughing "You sure you want to give up? You're becoming a boiled egg."

Gumball declared after falling in the sixth time "Never! I'll get it right! I'll try again even if I wound up being a boiled egg!"

Nevets look at the determination of the blue cat; such determination that he have never seen. Looking at the poor boy, he recalled of seeing him grown up with a hard life due to being a monster. After hearing what he have done against Zu, The Sky Lord knew that he needed Nevets help to control the seal and build up his charka.

To think he would never give up, even after he is rejected of being a shinobi. That determination of his in unlike I have ever seen before. Maybe this entire city is wrong about him. This boy isn't some sort of monster or a freak; he is…

Gumball walked through the water with his chakra still in his feets for the ninth time.

A hero!

The blue cat's eyes then pick up something that made him lose his concentration. He made to point his finger of what he was looking at before falling into the water again. Nevets look at what made him lose his focus and saw two kids looking at the wall of the bathhouse. Picking up their hearing, he concluded that they're both whispering and trying to contain his laughs. Nevets then walk toward the two perverts and stated "Aren't you two supposed to be at the Academy?"

Busted, the two boys, Obitas and Ejo, turn around and face the sensei. Obitas said "Look, sensei, we already graduated and got our headbands." Both of them have their headpieces on; Obitas have is around his neck and Ejo around his waist, acting it like a belt since his is mini.

Ejo smiled "Yeah, why bother of going back since we're awesome of being shinobis?"

"You two still have a lot to learn of what being a shinobi is about." Stated the middle age elite.

"And what do you know?" Smugly the rainbow lass. "You're just an old fart who got lucky of being an elite. My family is the strongest of our clan in this lame ass city and I will be the best shinobi in the world."

"That's right!" Added Ejo. "Along with me as well!"

"So you're family is consider to be the greatest clan, eh? Well, prove it to me. Fight me."

Obitas chuckled "Are you serious? I ain't going to fight you!"

"I thought you said that your whole clan is the strongest." Nevets lay out a smug at the shinobi. "Is it that what you have said? Or were you wrong?"

Obitas anger suddenly built up and went into a battle pose. He threatened "Alright, old man. Prepare to meet your fate in the hands of the world's strongest clan!"

Nevets then bite the tip of his thumb and did a couple of hand signs before slamming his hand on the ground and shouted "Summoning Jutsu!"

Gumball got up from the waters and saw what he was looking at that prevented him from getting out. A giant bullfrog is summon right in front of the two shinobis; its appearances is yellow with two blue markings around its body. It has a necklace around its large body with a symbol of ピ. The bullfrog then grab the two students with its large hands and throw them far away in the air until they were gone.

Nevets was on top of the bullfrog and smirked "Never mess with an elite, boys."

Gumball stood there in shock and remain speechless of what he have witness. He thought Whoa! How the heck did he do that?!

Alright, so there you have it. Nevets, or should I say Mr. Smalls, is Elder Watterson's mentor. Next chapter is where Gumball would probably be learning how to summon bullfrogs. Again, the summoning jutsu isn't mind; it belongs to Naruto. And the symbol of ピ is means peace, just the first letter of it. If you want, just go to Goggle Translate and use the English to Japanese; that's how I did it. Anyway, I haven't posted any new chapters of The Black Jay and The White Raccoon cause I was bumped of the new episodes last week. C.J. and Mordecai broke up and Margret still have feelings for him. Also, Rigby and Eileen are dating. About time, huh?! That doesn't mean I'm stopping story. Like hell I'm going to stop it! I'm going along with it! See ya around with an all new chapter! NiteOwl18 out! Another note, Celesius is describe when 0 C is defined as the freezing point of water and 100 C is defined as the boiling point of water. Fahrenheit is describe by two fixed points: the temperature as which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 degrees and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 degrees, a 180-degrees separation, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure. I got the info from Wikipedia; check it there if you still don't understand. I don't understand as well, but this is all I can do.
