Naruto: Return From Darkness
"Kyuubi Speaking"
Thoughts
"Speaking"
/
Hiro exited the hospital, and jumped up to the rooftops to gain a better vantage point.
Seeing no adequate locations, Hiro just opted to just use the woods outside the village. Deciding to tell the Raikage or Takeshi first, Hiro began to make his way over to the hotel via the rooftops.
Landing in front of the building, Hiro dusted himself off and entered through the door.
Moving quickly up the stairs, Hiro entered his hotel room and looked about for his comrades.
Hiro checked every room, and accepted that no one was there. Leaving a quick note, explaining why he wouldn't be in contact with anyone for a month, Hiro disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
/
Reappearing at the main gates, Hiro exited the large village and made his way to the forest not far away. Walking for about a mile into the forest, Hiro came upon a small clearing, where the sunlight shown in a perfect ray.
Deciding this was the ideal location; Hiro sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. His consciousness reappearing in the sewers of his mind, Hiro faced his roommate.
"It's been a while boy, finally ready to move unto the next phase?"
Yup, I have two days free before I have to go back, so lets make this worth while! Hiro spoke mentally to the Kyuubi.
Removing the seal that held the Kyuubi's cage shut, Hiro let the fox free and it sat before him and extended his fist.
Hiro met the fist with his own and they "Fist bumped", allowing Hiro to take the Kyuubi's chakra. This allowed Hiro complete control over the Kyuubi's chakra and put him into a new state, which could be described as "Nine Tails Chakra Mode".
Receding from the sewers, Hiro stood up in the clearing and looked at his new getup.
Satisfied with how it looked, Hiro decided to check out the new abilities that the mode granted him.
Going on a little run, Hiro could see that his speed was greatly increased.
Extending his right arm, Hiro could create extra arms out of pure chakra that could manipulate chakra, as well as strike opponents.
Feeling weaker, Hiro had to take a break and ask the Kyuubi what was wrong.
Returning to his mind, Hiro faced the Kyuubi once more.
Yo, why am I feeling out of energy already? Hiro asked his comrade.
"Our powers are greatly reduced, because we have yet to synchronize 100%." The Kyuubi explained, "When we sync up completely our powers will be increased massively and you will be able to enter the final state known as, 'Tailed Beast Mode', Where you will get stronger, faster, and will be able to create a chakra form of me that I can manipulate and control in battle to assist you."
We have two days to work on our synchronizing, so let's go! Hiro raised his fist before returning to his cross-legged position both in his mind and in real life.

2 days later
/
Hiro opened his eyes to the outside world and scanned the clearing he was currently in. Seeing that it was just about the way he left it, Hiro stood up and stretched his muscles.
Kyuubi, how far do you think we've come in the two days we had? Hiro asked his roommate.
"About 25%, It's much easier if we work on the syncing during battle." The Kyuubi explained.
All right, well I have to go check on Jin, but we can work on it when I have time. Hiro said, before returning to the real world and making his way back to Konoha.
/
Once he reached the large village, Hiro leapt onto the rooftops, to make it to the training fields faster.
Landing in front of the pond he had been at two days earlier, Hiro looked around for Jin.
Seeing the boys body lying near the water's edge, Hiro hurried to his side to see if he was injured.
Seeing that the boy was merely sleeping, Hiro let out a sigh of relief and sat down next to Jin.
It was about half an hour before the boy woke up and noticed Hiro was next to him.
"I-I did it…" Jin said, standing up.
Hiro nodded approvingly, before saying, "All right, show me." And gesturing at the pond.
Jin took his first step, and managed to not fall. He kept on walking until he reached the center of the pond and then turned to face Hiro.
"Good job, I'll keep my promise and teach you something of my own creation." Hiro said.
Jin jumped up excitedly and fell into the water that he forgot was below him.
Hiro sighed and waited for the boy to reemerge before continuing.
"What I am going to teach you, will power you up immensely, but will require the upmost concentration to master and implement." Hiro told Jin seriously.
"Whatever it takes." Jin replied.
Hiro pulled out a small square sheet of paper and handed it to Jin.
"Do you know what this is?" Hiro asked, pulling out a sheet for himself.
"Uhhh… no…" Jin said honestly.
"Okay, this is a sheet of paper that if you focus chakra into it will determine what affinity your chakra has." Hiro explained, holding the paper in his hand.
Hiro focused some chakra into the small sheet and it split in half.
Jin repeated Hiro's actions and had the same outcome; his paper split cleanly in half.
"Good, I thought you were similar to me, if you hadn't had the Wind affinity I wouldn't have been able to teach the technique I showed you before." Hiro said, breathing a sigh of relief.
Jin seemed excited and looked at Hiro expectedly.
"I can teach it to you, but there is one thing that you need to do first." Hiro walked over, picked a leaf off of a tree and held it the same way as he held the chakra paper.
Hiro focused some chakra and the leaf split perfectly in two, just as the sheet had.
"That's it?" Jin asked, arrogantly.
"I'll be back in five days, if you figure it out we will continue." Hiro said, walking away.
/
Hiro returned to his clearing outside of Konoha. He spent two more days working on synchronizing his chakra with the Kyuubi and the next three days working on combining his techniques with the Nine Tails Chakra Mode.
/
Hiro arrived at the pond where he had trained Jin just five days previous, to this sight; Jin surrounded by hundreds of crumpled up leaves, sweating and staring at the leaf currently in his hands.
"Harder than you thought, huh?" Hiro asked, leaning up against a nearby tree.
Jin threw the leaf on the ground and sat down tiredly, "I haven't been able to do it once…"
"Everyone has their own way of doing it, for me I just imagine my chakra becoming sharp and…" Hiro placed his open palm on the trunk of the tree he was leaning on, closed his eyes and then removed his hand from the trunk.
Beneath where his hand once was, was a large slash on the bark of the tree.
"I'll be back in one day, figure out how you visualize it best and go with it." Hiro said, turning around and waving his hand in goodbye.
/
Hiro decided to take a day off training and just sleep, so he headed towards his hotel room.
Opening the door, Hiro made a beeline for his room. Hiro fell face first onto the bed, and was asleep before he hit the pillow.
/
Waking up and rubbing the sleep, Hiro checked the time on the clock. Realizing that he had slept a full twenty-four hours, he decided to go check on Jin's progress.
Returning to the training field, Hiro spotted Jin sitting beneath a tree. Hiro walked up and noticed the boy had perfectly cut leaf sitting on his lap.
Smiling at the boy's progress, Hiro sat down next to him. Jin looked over at his teacher and smiled.
"I did it, finally…" Jin said, flicking the two pieces of the leaf between his fingers.
"Good, now we can move on to the fun stuff." Hiro said, standing up and extended his hand to help Jin up.
Jin grabbed Hiro's hand and Hiro helped Jin stand up. Jin looked expectantly at Hiro and Hiro jumped right into the lesson.
"What I am going to teach you is a fighting style that will steadily drain your chakra, but will greatly improve your power and fighting ability." Hiro explained, "This is perfect for the Chunin Exams because you will have time to regain chakra in between. This style is designed to completely overwhelm opponents, but can change to be defensive or adapt to an opponents attack style. It can also augment your attacks for an added surprise or even increase your speed and mobility." Hiro rattled on.
"All right I got it, but how do I do it?" Jin asked, frustrated.
"To implement this style you have to apply your nature chakra to different parts of your body to create different attacks, such as applying a blunt force to the end of your fist and increasing your power and range that way." Hiro continued.
"Okay, so I have to create the wind chakra, outside my body parts and use them to boost my offense right?" Jin asked.
"Exactly." Hiro confirmed.
Hiro demonstrated by extending a fist and creating some wind chakra out side and then proceeding to punch a nearby tree. The after affect was a perfect hole in the trunk of the tree.
Jin looked excited and eager to begin.
"Your first task is to create some wind chakra outside of your fist, once you complete that, the rest will come much quicker." Hiro said, "This should only take you about one day, and then longer to improve the power and size."
Jin nodded and asked, "What are you going to do in the meantime?"
"I'm going to go check on some things and show you one of the final lessons that I will teach you before the Chunin Exams" Hiro said.
Beginning to walk away, he stopped and focused wind chakra on the bottoms of his feet. Kicking off the ground he began to float and he turned around to face Jin.
"This improves your mobility, speed and can be used to quickly change directions and give you an edge." Hiro said, before kicking in midair and quickly flying away.
Running high above the village, Hiro began to move away to the highest point of the village and landed slightly behind where the heads of the Hokages were.
He began to move quickly, getting farther and farther from the village and having to ascend higher and higher mountains, until he finally found the one he was looking for.
He stopped, and quickly flipped through hand seals.
Secret Technique: Camouflage Jutsu! Hiro thought, his body becoming the same colors as what was behind him.
Creeping closure to his targets, he could hear the sounds of conflict.
Looking over the rocks, Hiro finally saw what he was searching for.
On the other side of where he was perched, were Kakashi and Sasuke standing in front of a large boulder.
Kakashi seemed to be explaining something to the Genin and then quickly went through hand seals and let the Genin see.
Kakashi then held his arm and it started to crackle with lightning chakra and sounded like a horde of bird chirping.
Dammit Kakashi! Chidori? Hiro thought to himself, upset with the Jounin.
Seeing enough, Hiro slinked away, back down the mountain.
Reaching the bottom, Hiro focused wind chakra in his feet and took to the air once again.
/
Stopping his flight right above the training field, Hiro thundered down through the clouds.
Landing just behind Jin, Hiro's massive amount of speed created a large hole.
Brushing the dust and rubble off of his scarf, Hiro noted Jin's shocked expression and gave him a look that told him to chill out.
"How far have you come?" Hiro asked.
"I can focus the chakra outside of my fists, but I can't increase the size and power at the same time." Jin replied, frustrated.
Hiro nodded and said, "You can take a break, I have something important to teach you."
Jin looked excited, until he saw Hiro's expression, that of extreme seriousness.
"I'm going to teach you a counter to a technique that will help you in the near future." Hiro explained, vaguely.
"What is it?" Jin pleaded.
Hiro sighed and said, "Kakashi is teaching Sasuke an attack right now, known as Chidori. It's a lightning based, thrusting attack, where you coat your hand in chakra and can pierce an opponents body, most effective when aimed at the heart."
Jin thought for a moment before he asked, "Why do I need to learn it?"
"This is going to be Sasuke's ace in the hole, if you face him in the Chunin Exams this could be your chance to throw him off balance and win." Hiro explained.
Jin smiled and said, "All right I'm in!"
