Ch. 29 Training in a Flash
Location Unknown
In a faraway town two women, one with a pet pig on a leash walk up to a large building. One of the woman recognized the building and was none the less afraid for her partner someone who was known as a...interesting gambler!
Elsewhere
After the little skirmish with Itachi the mood between the 4 travelers was somber at best. Both Takeru and Hinata were worried about Naruto and what this so call Akatsuki wanted to do to him, while our blond hero on the other hand was worried about Sasuke and what his so called brother did to him.
'Naruto is the prize the Akatsuki are after and we will have him' these words kept running through his mind
Jiraiya notices the quiet tone of all three and decided it's time to liven up the joint and what better way to get loosened up then some training, noticing a clearing up ahead on their path he put his plan into motion.
"Alright gaki's I think we've traveled enough for today lets set up camp here for the night and get started on some training" he said as he lead him to the clearing
Takeru and Hinata both agreed to this but... "Why are we stopping we should keep going to find this healer lady so she can treat Sasuke and Kakashi sensei"
"Well gaki you were promised that this was also a training trip and besides the next town is only a day and a half away so we can afford a little time to begin your training so you can train on your own on the way is that ok with you Naruto?"
Naruto simply stared at his sensei "Alright" he relented and set his stuff down with his comrades. Once everyone had set up a tent Takeru having to share one with Naruto since he was ill prepared for this trip, Jiraiya had them line up so he could give them their training assignments.
"Alright before we get started Hinata-san did you figure out what you're chakra nature is?" he said looking over at her
She smiled at the memory "Hai my nature is Suiton Jiraiya-sama, Naruto-kun helped me figure it out"
Naruto smiled at that memory, it really was the simple things that make his relationship with her so special.
Jiraiya smirked before reaching in his bag while on this trip he would be watching these two and getting some prime writing material "Alright then let me look in my bag o tricks. I'm not that proficient in Suiton jutsu but I may have some jutsu scrolls to help, while I'm looking what about you...Takeru was it what's your nature"
"I have two natures sir Katon and Raiton"
"Wow color me impressed kid having two natures at your age is very rare I can see why Hayate-san had so much faith in you" the old sage said as he searched through his bag
That complement made Takeru smile at the thought of his godfather. Soon Jiraiya found what he was looking for and pulled out three scrolls and he toss them one by one to each of the genin. They caught and opened them looking at the titles; Takeru's read Katon: Karyudan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet), Hinata's read Suiton: Suiben (Water Release: Water Whip) and Naruto's read...nothing.
"Hey what's the deal Ero-sennin mine is blank" Naruto burst out
"Calm down gaki first off I already gave you your scroll back before Itachi appeared remember and as for this one I'll explain in a moment, but for now..." he paused creating 2 shadow clones "...each of you will have a me to work with during your training now spread out and let's get to work"
"Hai" they all responded and as Hinata and Takeru walked away from Naruto and the real Jiraiya had the blonde pulled his scroll out of his backpack
"So did you read it?" the sage asked
"Yea but I didn't really understand it" Naruto replied
Jiraiya sighed in understanding "Well that's alright kid I would have extremely shocked if you did but that's why I'm here. Now unlike the Rasengan I am not as proficient with this jutsu as they Yondaime was. He could lay waste to entire battlefields with it..." he paused seeing the glint of excitement in Naruto's eyes.
"...fundamentally, this technique the Hirashin no jutsu or Flying Thunder God Technique is more similar to the Summoning Technique than the shunshin, as it revolves around the manipulation of the space–time continuum rather than simply accelerated movement." he continued to explain noticing a dumbfounded look on his godsons face
'You didn't understand a single word of that did you' Kurama growled to his student
'Only bits and pieces of it' Naruto replied
The bijuu sighed 'I have seen this technique in action the 4th used it to in terms you can understand teleport at blinding speeds and great distances' he explained dumbing it down for his student
Naruto looked spaced out for the moment until "So basically he could teleport at blinding speeds and great distances right Ero-sennin"
"Umm actually yea that's a simple way to put it Naruto, but to activate this technique, the user places a special seal or "technique formula" to mark an intended destination..." he said walking up to a tree and quickly writing the seal on it before walking several feet away "...after this is done, they can at will enter a dimensional void that instantaneously transports them to the location of the seal like so."
Jiraiya channeled some chakra and in a flash he vanished from the spot he stood and reappeared in front of the tree. Naruto was before lack of a better word speechless this allows the old sage to finish his explanation.
"The mark can be applied to almost any area through brief physical contact, including an opponent or other surrounding feature. Also this should be noted, but the marking formula never disappears from a marked target ever, now there are other features that you can learn but for now we will focus on the basics which is why I gave you a blank scroll. Tell me Akoshi-san has been teaching you some sealing techniques right?"
"Yes but just the basic sealing tools and other objects" Naruto replied
"Thats promising good then you'll have no problem writing out the sealing matrix to this jutsu 500 times would you"
Jiraiya smiled as Naruto face faulted
"Hey that's not fair Takeru nii-san and Hinata-chan get to practice kick ass jutsus while I have to write all day" Naruto growled
"Gaki you focus too much on brute strength and power as it is, to master this technique you need to make your seal perfect even the slightest mishap and your head could wind up missing for your body." he paused seeing the brat have some understanding "Once you finish that by yourself no clones, then you can practice your Rasengan more you still need to learn how to do it without the help of a shadow clone."
Naruto growled then sighed "Fine Ero-sennin"
"Good look I'm here to help but you've gotta want to do it on your own..." he said careful writing the seal on the empty scroll first so Naruto could see it "...besides you're learning from the best I'm a seals master and so was the Yondaime"
And so for the rest of the day Jiraiya watched and mentored these three genin as best he could feel a sense of nostalgia coming over him. This would continue for the next couple days giving the group time to rest and train before getting back on the road. As they got close to the next town Jiraiya stopped them to check their progress; Hinata was able to make a short lasting whip and had to carry a water canteen to produce it in areas where there was no water, Takeru's dragon bullet was smaller than his normal fireball jutsu and he was only able to make one when the norm was 3. Still Jiraiya was impressed with them both but it was Naruto that blew him through the roof, in just that short time Naruto managed to get the sealing formula down perfectly surprising the sage. He lamented that it's natural for an Uzumaki to get a hold of Fuinjutsu easier as its almost second nature; he couldn't wait to get the kid to study more seals it made him excited for the future. Once finished they all entered the town that was lit up with lights and stands they made their way to a small hotel and purchased rooms.
"Alright you guys give me your bags" Jiraiya asked
"Why?" Naruto questioned
The sage smiled "Well you guys have been training so hard I think you deserve a break this towns festival goes on all week so take some time and enjoy it while I search for Tsunade or at least some signs that she'd been here"
Naruto beamed with excitement "Alright come on Hina-hime lets go" before she could even reply he'd taken her hand and lead her into the fun filled streets
Both Takeru and Jiraiya chuckled "Well he seems excited as always what about you Takeru, what will you do?"
"I'm gonna go buy some extra clothes seeing as how I was ill prepared for this trip and then maybe find a training spot something like this wouldn't be fun without Ino-chan"
Back in Konoha
A certain heiress sneezed as she stared at picture of her boyfriend who was missing and only after Gai returned with Sasuke did she learn why he was gone even then she was gonna get him when he got back.
With our Heroes
"Ahh so you're dating the Yamanaka princess very nice" Jiraiya said with a slight perverted tone to his voice
"Umm thanks...I think" Takeru not wanted to get wrapped up in the old perverts ways quickly left him
With Naruto and Hinata
Once he calmed down Naruto and Hinata began to enjoy the festival. They played games, ate the food and had a great time. Hinata was happy to be spending time with Naruto and even though she was still worried about the Akatsuki's interest in Naruto she enjoyed the simple moment loving every minute of it. After playing several games Naruto won his girlfriend a giant orange fox which she loved but said it wasn't as cute as Iroya who at this time was napping by over by Takeru. As the couple went about their day they had an ever watchful eye trained on them looking for material for his next book.
'Oh boy this is gold I wonder what I should call my next book' the perverted Sage thought to himself he begun to tail them after doing some small research on Tsunade's whereabouts and all he could gather is that they were on the right path, for now he'd give his godson some time to be a regular kid so to speak before they move out tomorrow
With Takeru
Takeru true to his word bought some extra clothes and some sealing scrolls to put them in and after grabbed something eat with Naruto and Hinata in the middle their fun day. Afterward they went back to the festival while he found a secluded area to train in. He could have joined them in more festivities but he didn't want to be a third wheel and was happy to see his little brother so happy. It wasn't all bad though as Iroya kept him company training with him for a while until the little fox decided it wanted to take a nap.
With the Couple
Soon sunset was upon them and after a fun filled day Naruto and Hinata found themselves in a small clearing in the woods by the town. Upon arriving at the spot Hinata was a bit surprised to find a blanket laid out nice and neat for them and a small container wrapped with a lavender bow. She smiled as this was no doubt set up by Naruto using his shadow clones.
Naruto lead her to the blanket and the two sat down enjoying the cool breeze and the beautiful color the sky gave off as the sun went down. Naruto presented the container to Hinata who eagerly unwrapped it to find a dozen cinnamon rolls.
"I know it's your favorite treat and...I figured it would be a great way to end the day" Naruto smiled his foxy grin
Hinata smiled "Thank y...you very much Naruto-kun..." she said as she took one of the sticky buns and held it up to his mouth "...have one?"
Naruto smiled as Hinata fed him. The chunin hopeful opened his mouth and took a slow bite of the sweet treat and he had to say that his girlfriend had great taste.
Hinata smiled and took a bite of the same piece both smiling as the blush on their faces became more and more visible. The Hyuga heiress noticed her boyfriend had a bit of the sweet cream on his bottom right whisker mark.
"Hold still N...naruto-kun" she said as she took her thumb and gently swiped the sweet liquid of his face brushing his whisker mark in the progress cause the powerful shinobi to indirectly purr
Naruto's eyes widened as he watched Hinata boldly lick the cream off her finger while looking at him, the blush on her face he thought was bright enough to burn her face. She saw him staring at her and slightly turned away "I...I didn't w..want to w...waste it"
He smiled at how much she's changed and leaned in "Hey Hinata" he whispered and as she turned around he stole a kiss and it didn't take long for Hinata to fall into it enjoying the sensation of his lips upon hers
While the two made out a certain sage was sitting in just what he hoped was out of the boy's range of smell watching them through his telescope.
'Gotta give Kakashi props he did say I'd get get some prime writing material' he thought as he scribbled in his notebook 'This is a perfect type of scene to write ill just add a bit more...flare to it hehe'
Back with NaruHina
"I really had great day having fun with you Hina-chan" Naruto said as they laid back on the blanket looking into the now night sky Hinata laying next to him
"I did too..." she paused not wanting to ruin the moment but she need to know something "...Naruto-kun?"
"Hmm" he answered
"Are...are you worried about this Akatsuki group coming after you?" she asked wanting to be there for him
He sat up a bit looking at her and sighed "I'd be foolish to say that I wasnt worried but...everyday we get stronger and I know we can handle everything that will come our way and..." he smiled taking her hand "...it makes me feel even stronger knowing I have you and my family and friends by my side"
Hinata smiled as he leaned in to place a quick peck on her forehead "Come on lets go back"
Hey guys thank you again for your continued support in this story and my others. It fills my heart with joy to see so many people wanting me to finish these stories and I will I promise I will when the time comes. To help with that end I am using two techniques one of which that I have been using for a while now. I write all concepts for all books of all my stories at first I didn't do that but as of last couple years I found it helps move the writing process along a bit, working on concept includes doing research on characters, weapons, attack, etc. The other thing I will be doing starting now is attempting to post only one chapter per month I know I suck at deadline but even with my busy media schedule (and the fact that I'm a supervisor who sits at a desk for 8hrs a day) I should be able to put out a chapter for each of my stories towards the end of every month this is the goal I am setting for myself and you guys can help too I appreciate the every so often PM checking to see when the next chapter will be out it gets me pumped to complete a chapter faster. As of me writing this post I have 6 total stories being written with a 7th on the way not to mention sequel books to stories that are almost complete so please continue to bare with me and I will continue (at a steady pace) to provide you with what I hope you see as awesome storytelling thank you all and have a great day - Shadoking
