IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC55 - Ch55. Teaching Mei To Throw Away Her Fears

Mei and Rei were in Rei's dimension. In the middle was a big wooden house made from mokuton.

These days, they started feeling quite cramped in the two-bedroom flat so Rei decided that they would use it only as a 'cover' and instead live inside his dimension. It was not like anyone could get through the security seals in his apartment and if anybody came, he had prepared an alert seal.

They couldn't keep this from Mei as she lived with them so the secret was out and Mei was taken to Rei's dimension and even witnessed the Mokuton of Rei and Konan as they raised the house. For now, Mei had a secrecy seal on the upper part of her mouth.

She was all huffy about them keeping this from her and actually had her first childish fit. Rei even had to promise her to take her as his wife to make her stop being angry!

Outtalked by a kid... Rei depressedly thought.

Well, at least he managed to argue that she would first have to be fourteen! Rei was feeling quite betrayed too! Both Tsunade and Konan joined little Mei and verbally ganged up on him! He was literally pushed into a corner and couldn't run!

"Yes, like that!" He exclaimed as he watched Mei produce a small fire through fire chakra alone. The feat was very hard and very draining but it would help her immensely later on in katon Jutsu.

She finally managed it after a week of continuous practice. Rei hugged her tightly and Mei melted into his hug.

Patting her head with a slight smile, Rei spoke.

"Now... I think it is high time to teach you about your Futton."

Mei froze in his embrace. Futton. She remembered vividly how she melted her best friend. The screams, the blood, the melting flesh. She tightly closed her eyes to keep the images away.

Rei seeing it, squatted in front of her, and pressed his lips on her forehead, sending a calming pulse of suiton chakra through her brain. He pulled away and smiled at her.

"It's fine Mei." He ruffled her hair. "Futton is your strongest but most brutal offensive. It will take time for you to get used to it. Will you try, please? For me?"

Mei was conflicted. She was scared and didn't want to use that thing again. But... Rei asked it out of her. She timidly nodded, still trembling.

Rei knew she had trauma and her biggest fear was her futton bloodline but he had to get her out of it. He spent months on getting her to regard him as someone trusted. Someone, she felt safe with. It was time to push and make her accept her powers.

He took the upper part of her hand to his palm and gently turned it upwards, her palm facing the sky as he raised it closer to her mouth.

"You know what to do." He whispered to her.

Mei was scared witless. He wanted her to try it while he held her!? She shook her head in fright, her eyes tightly closed in refusal as she was afraid she would hurt him but his suiton chakra calmed her.

She opened her eyes and her heart froze. She was... bathed in flames. Bright blue flames danced all around the clearing, Rei, herself... but other than a pleasant chill, she felt nothing. The flames also harmlessly flickered, as if lazily all around the clearing.

Rei smiled at her awestruck expression as she looked around. This was the first time he showed her his katon/suiton/nature mix and he felt proud he made the kid all sparky.

"This is my mix of suiton and katon." He told her slowly and Mei's eyes widened even more as she intently listened to Rei. "It is not Kekkei Genkai like yours." He told her, making her slowly nod. "But it is similar. As you see, I can completely control it," He pointed at a tree behind her and Mei turned around only to see a tree slowly freeze, becoming completely white until it shattered into smaller parts. These smaller parts then became smaller and smaller, until only snowy dust remained of the massive tree.

"You can also gain such control. All it needs is a practice." He told the still gaping Mei as she realized just how dangerous these flames were. "So... will you practice with me?" He coaxed her and Mei nodded, somewhat excited.

Rei ruffled her hair again. "Good girl." He smiled at her, making her blush, and their practice of Futton started.

...

Three weeks passed and Mei was 'sparring' with Rei. Her advancement with her futton was almost as fast as Konan's with her paper and by now, Mei could create a somewhat thin mist of acidic mist. She was far away from real boiling mist but it was a start.

Rei didn't make her actually master her katon, suiton, and doton. He only taught her the basics and some of his own exercises that were incredibly hard but would teach her how to properly manipulate her elemental chakra. She would instinctively pick up on her natures as she used her Kekkei Genkai so it was pointless to teach her more.

But... his tutelage already showed as she spewed mist at him when he came closer. He let her hit as always, to make her stop being afraid of melting him. Rei observed that Mei had utter disregard for anything that was not Rei, Konan, and slowly but steadily Tsunade was getting on that list.

When he first brought an animal... she melted it with her acidic mist and didn't even twitch. But when she was to use it on Rei? She was all shaky and stuff. He couldn't have that.

"More output, Mei." He admonished her as his hand grabbed her by the neck and lifted her from the ground. Her legs dangled as she choked. It was quite a familiar sight these days as constricting her neck and preventing her from spitting more mist is the FIRST thing an enemy would do. Rei didn't coddle her and did it too with brutal precision. It showed her swiftly how weak and powerless she was when her neck was held. And while Mei had more often than not had to go to Tsunade to treat a palm-sized bruise on her neck... she slowly learned to not panic and more importantly, to NOT lose control and burn her neck from inside.

Rei had to save her quite a few times when he did it the first time. Fortunately, he had the foresight and pumped a lot of suiton and katon chakra through her neck, offsetting her own bloodline as he grabbed her neck and she lost control. Otherwise, she would melt straight through it from inside. Her Kekkei Genkai was a dangerous thing. While she had unconscious control and protection, once she panicked...

Rei's tactic was simple. He did it so many times, always in a different way, always startling her, making her lose control. As they practiced, he started putting in less and less of his own chakra to offset her own when she lost control and Mei was starting to consciously do what he did with her own chakra. It worked for the last three days, not even once did she burn the inside of her own neck even though he didn't safeguard her anymore.

As his hand held her neck, he had to let her go as her right hand slashed at his wrist with a kunai.

"Good." Rei praised her and his hand quickly struck the kunai, making her drop it while his second hand again violently grabbed her neck while her body was still mid-air.

Mei hated this exercise with passion but she knew exactly what Rei wanted from her. He wanted her to let out her maximum output of futton right into his face as he held her neck. She knew she could do it days ago when she mastered protecting her insides from the mist. Deep down, she was still afraid of hurting Rei though.

Closing her eyes as she choked, she decided to believe in Rei and let out her futton.

Rei suddenly found himself covered in a white translucent mist that irritated his skin slightly before he raised the output of suiton chakra in it, negating the mist.

He let Mei go, making her fall to the ground and start coughing as she gulped the air greedily.

He squatted near her and ruffled her hair.

"That's my girl. Keep it up. Don't be afraid of your own power. Master it."

Mei raised her head, her eyes exhausted from all the choking she was put through today. But she was happy. Her mind was... free. She bathed Rei in her mist and he didn't melt! Her childish mind completely lost all fear for her futton and Rei couldn't help but praise himself.

A brutal method it may be but the girl learned to guard one of her most vital weaknesses and stopped being such a wimp about her bloodline. A win-win in my books... He grinned at her.

"So... up for ramen?"

Mei instantly jumped up and embraced his waist, making him laugh.

"Sure you are. You glutton." He took her into his arms and left towards the house

Chapter 56 - Ch56. Tsunade And Hot Springs

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENT

C56 - Ch56. Tsunade And Hot Springs

Rei and Konan were in the Land of Hotsprings, heading to a mission in Iwa of all places. They were requested by a noble of the Land of Noodles to save his daughter who was kidnapped...

Well, they knew it was a trap the second they were told what was their task.

Even the Mizukage knew as the initial screening showed plainly some fishy movements from the client but... Rei accepted anyway. He was really in a need of a vacation.

They arrived at the capital of the Land of Hotsprings in hours by flying and instantly found the best hot spring, booking entire mixed baths for themselves. Tsunade swiftly arrived through Rei's personal dimension and their vacation started.

Right now, Rei, Konan, and Tsunade were chilling in the hot water together.

Tsunade was drinking sake. She enjoyed it as previously she drank to forget her crappy life but now... now she could properly savor it! Her life was fulfilling, happy, satisfying. Even she herself was surprised when it took her an entire hour to finish one bottle of sake as she savored every drop of it!

Konan was folding origami with her hands, taking her time to make every fold perfect and then she let them float on the water surface. She loved doing this as it always made her relaxed. By now, there were more than five of her flower origami. She made sure to take great care in their creation and it took her at least ten minutes for one. She had nowhere to hurry.

Rei just looked at the naked beauties sitting near him as their faces were openly showing their contentment. He enjoyed the state of emptiness his head was in. Usually, he always thought about new seals, Jutsu, or things like that. But now... he could turn off. All that mattered was savoring the curves of his two women and relaxing in the hot water.

"Sigh... this is exactly how S-rank missions should be like." He mumbled in satisfaction, making Tsunade chuckle.

The corner of Konan's lips twitched upward and she stood up, slowly walking towards Tsunade. She sat near her and fully smirked at the inquisitive look Tsunade threw her. She took Tsunade's hand as she was about to grab a second bottle of Sake and leaned closer to her ear.

"Don't. It won't feel as good." Konan put her hand on the bottle and prevented Tsunade from taking it.

"Wha-" Tsunade blushed and looked at Konan with a slightly spooked expression.

"You are trying to get drunk to get the courage to sleep with Rei, right?" Konan quietly whispered, giving her a knowing look.

Tsunade blushed crimson red but didn't deny it so Konan continued.

"Go, girl." She slightly nudged her and nudged her again until Tsunade grumbled but listened.

Rei was watching the girls whisper to each other and was wondering what that was about. Then, suddenly, Tsunade stood up and he saw her walking closer to him.

"What's up, Tsu?" He asked her with a smile.

Tsunade blushed and sat on her knees in front of him. He sat waist-deep in the water and Tsunade was also waist deep as she was sitting on her knees. Rei blinked and watched as her shaky hand reached towards his crotch. He didn't try to stop her. They had a few teasings already so this was nothing new.

Tsunade grabbed his member and started to slowly jerk him off. Her expression was priceless as she didn't know if she should feel excited, embarrassed, ashamed, or elated at the feel of his dick in her hand. Rei watched her expression, looking directly into her eyes as he enjoyed the good feeling between his legs for minutes to come.

Rei grunted as he could feel himself about to come. Tsunade was moving her hand up and down slowly, teasingly, but she held him firmly in her grasp. It didn't take long until he released his cum into the water, making Tsunade's blush intensify. She didn't act embarrassedly though. She openly smiled at him.

"Sit there." She gestured to the edge of the pond and Rei obeyed. As he sat down, his member was out of the water, still stiff and Tsunade again kneeled in front of him, bending forward as her breasts started to be dragged down by the gravity and took his penis into her warm mouth.

This was the first time she was giving him a blowjob and Rei could tell she was quite clumsy at it.

Definitely not the legendary sucker yet... Rei joked as he moaned from her slim tongue dancing around his shaft.

He arched his head slightly forward so he would see her face as his hands took hold of Tsunade's head and he started to slowly and gently move her back and forth. She immediately understood what she was doing wrong and started to bob her head by herself while releasing wet slurping sounds as her eyes looked upward at Rei's expression.

It was slowly getting better and better until he could feel that Tsunade found out just what spot exactly he liked most and started to make a conscious effort to shower it with care. Her tongue was wetting his cock, caressing it all the way up and down his entire shaft while Tsunade kept the head of his cock in her throat as she massaged it by constricting and loosening her muscles via gulping.

Rei cummed with a loud moan. His seeds spurted right into her mouth and he could see her wide but delighted eyes as the cum started leaking from it. Tsunade tried to clench her lips around his cock to not let the white liquid escape while gulping his cum greedily and still bobbing her head up and down. He could feel the wetness of his seeds and her saliva as she refused to let him out of her mouth. Rei was unable to do anything else but moan heatedly as he stroked Tsunade's hair.

Konan watched for half-hour as Tsunade, with enamored expression and eyes narrowed in glee, sucked Rei off, devotedly feeding on his cum. She could understand. Their bond made it taste heavenly and she often did the same in the morning. Rei's pleasure was a pleasant bonus too... Konan watched as Tsunade stood up from the water, insecurely looking at Rei, her eyes begging him to take the action. Rei did and pulled Tsunade into his lap, her feet straddling him as he sat on the edge of the pond as they made out. Konan heard Tsunade grunt as Rei finally slipped inside of the blonde and smirked.

Took her long enough... She mockingly thought as she watched Tsunade's ecstatic face.

Rei had his hands on Tsunade's waist as he pushed her down while she pushed herself up.

"I love your breasts." He told her bluntly and took her left nipple into his mouth, making her moan while her cheek reddened even more than they already were. Her right breast was bouncing up and down as she rocked her body on his cock, squeezing him in her warm folds.

Rei could feel Tsunade start to use her medical chakra inside her pussy and felt intense pleasure in his cock. He instantly cummed into her, making her release a few hitched, shuddering breaths as she for the first time in her life felt cum flooding her pussy.

While she was in that state, Rei didn't stop pushing her body up and down his shaft and even added his raiton chakra through his hands. It started coursing to the nerve endings in her hips, making her straighten up and arch her back backward.

Rei didn't want to slip out of her so he quickly leaned forward and his hands snaked around her torso, hugging her body close to him. Her big breasts were squished on his chest as his mouth pressed on hers and ravaged it.

Tsunade's mind finally cleared and she embraced Rei too, sending her medical chakra to his body through her skin. Both were moaning into the other's ear as Rei too sent his raiton chakra to her back, flaring every nerve ending in her spine, down her belly until it finally reached her pussy where it made her let out a high-pitched squeal as her juices violently squirted at Rei's crotch while his dick was still in her, filling her up with his seed. They both shuddered in each other's hands with their heads in the crook of each other's neck.

"It w-was i-incredible." Tsunade ground out, still shaking uncontrollably due to the multiple orgasms her body was put through.

"Heh." Rei didn't manage to let out more as he still relished the afterglow.

They held each other for five minutes straight, just cuddling up as Tsunade enjoyed the feeling of Rei inside of her while Rei also enjoyed Tsunade's warmth.

They suddenly pulled slightly apart, both at the same time, and looked into each other's eyes.

"Second round?" They chorused at the same time, blinked at each other, and then chuckled.

Needless to say, Tsunade was quickly put on her back as their lovemaking continued while Konan watched, drinking Tsunade's sake while playing with herself, getting off on Tsunade's heated panting or her ecstatic moans, as she quietly cheered Tsunade on.

She didn't intrude. This moment belonged to Tsunade and she would gladly watch and imprint every second to her memory. Her mind was giddy despite being muddled from orgasming several times due to using her water chakra on herself. She almost couldn't wait to 'remind' Tsunade of this moment! This was great material for future teasing!

--

They spent two days in the hotel in the capital of the Land of Hot Springs. Their first day was spent in their booked pond as Rei pounded Tsunade. Simply, they enjoyed each other to the fullest and Tsunade could now embarrassedly say, Rei took her EVERY first and she enjoyed all of it.

The second day, Konan joined in and it made Tsunade so much more embarrassed as she had her pussy eaten out by Konan while Rei pounded the blue-haired vixen from behind. Tsunade also had her first serving of Konan as she returned the favor as she too was being pounded from behind. But her favorite was when she and Konan cared for Rei's cock with their tongues, both at the same time from different sides.

Tsunade didn't know why but something about her tongue caressing Rei's member while also licking Konan's tongue made her almost orgasmic. She didn't even need to rub herself much to come...

At the end of their little vacation, she was so embarrassed, she wanted to cry! But she would never regret even a second of it.

Thankfully for her, their time was up and the trio was on their way to the borders of the Land of Fire.

...

Tsunade wanted to visit Konoha. It had been a long time and since she couldn't really go with Rei and Konan to their mission...

It was dangerous for her to be seen fighting alongside someone with Kiri hitai-ate. She didn't really care but Rei had forbidden it so she had to sullenly listen.

Her wish to visit Konoha... she regretted it the second she uttered it. She hasn't even parted with Rei yet and she already missed him! She was dragging her feet, trying to slow their pace down until Rei swept her up on his back and started to piggyback her.

At first, she was disgruntled but then she melted into his back and leaned her head into the crook of his neck, and dozed off. For Tsunade Senju, life was good.

...

"...na..." "Tsu...de" "Tsunade."

"Huh?" Tsunade woke up with a drool coming out of her mouth and sleepy eyes.

"We are almost at the outpost." Rei informed her, making her grumble and mentally curse the border control!

A few miles away, the diligent people of the border outpost suddenly felt a chill run through their spines and decided to not obstruct any moody women today.

"Did you adjust your reserves?" Rei asked Tsunade who shook her head, burrowing her face into his shoulder.

"Then do it." He told her firmly.

Tsunade sullenly groaned but listened and focused and her chakra levels started 'dropping' as nature energy enwrapped them. She stopped when she reached Kage-level reserves.

"I say... my chakra is rising like crazy as of late." Tsunade sighed but it was not in unhappiness. She was very happy at having more chakra. It was just annoying to keep up with the changes.

"Since the Bond Seal, right?" Rei hummed.

"Yeah." Tsunade acknowledged but the question was plainly obvious in her tone.

"Well, the Bond Seals stabilized our souls and their connection." Rei chuckled. "Your chakra is trying to catch up to mine as I have the most of us three. Konan's increased too but you had way less than us so yours is rising at a visible rate."

"Not so visible to me." Tsunade pouted.

Rei had to admit he felt slight pity for her. Her chakra control was superb even before they bonded. Now...

"That's because of the supreme chakra control talent you received after bonding with me. Your already superb chakra control was boosted even more... you just can't perceive the changes in the level of your chakra without consciously checking because you can control it all without any problems. It is natural for you."

They walked for another hour after Tsunade dismounted Rei and as they reached the outpost, they saw a long line of merchants lined up, waiting for their turn to pass through. Rei groaned but Tsunade wasn't even fazed as she grabbed both Konan's and Rei's hand, cheerfully dragging them a bit to the side along the long line while the people lining up stared at them with hostility.

As they were half-way through, one round fat merchant shrieked at them as his face twisted in rage. "Hey! You! Who do you think you are!?"

Tsunade looked at him coldly but the man didn't stop his tirade.

"Even I, the great Sonwa Kung, have to line up! What's the meaning of this!? Huh, peasants!" He tried to appear threatening but Tsunade instead opted to ignore him but then he had to open his mouth again.

"Boy! If you leave the ladies with me for a night, I am willing to be generous and overlook this matter! I advise you to be wise! I am an important person! A noble from the Land of Fire! You offended me and here I am willing to let you go for such a small favor!"

Rei released his killing intent, about to jump at the guy with his sword but Tsunade was faster. She appeared in front of the noble and the world slowed for him. All he could see was a massive fist approaching his head as his mouth started ever so slowly opening before...

The people around watched with horrified gazes as the cocky noble from the Land of Fire literally exploded into a bloody soup as Tsunade's fist impacted him. The blood splashed onto the ground and the nearby trees that creaked from the shockwave the punch generated as the ground cracked from the sheer pressure. The convoy of that guy just helplessly stared at the smudge of red on the ground that was left of their previous master with their mouths wide open.

It was then that three genins and one very young jonin landed near Tsunade and looked horrified at their 'client'. Or what was left of him.

One hot-blooded thirteen-years old genin with blond hair rolled up his sleeve and glared at Tsunade while the two others were terrified of her. The idiot was about to jump at her when her cold look landed on him.

"Try it squirt and you will be next." She stated seriously. Her good mood was utterly destroyed so she smashed the man who was responsible. These kids... Konoha-nin or not, she would kill them with extreme prejudice too if they tried to piss her off.

The jonin tensed and was about to prepare for a fight. He looked sixteen, merely a fresh graduate or even an academy student during the war. It looked like he didn't recognize Tsunade. Tsunade was about to smash when...

"Tsu, calm down." Rei's voice halted Tsunade in her tracks.

"Wait for a second, Rei." Tsunade sighed. She would have to knock some sense into these. Rei was right, no need for killing them. She raised her fist but just then, one ANBU appeared between them, one behind the team, and another behind Tsunade.

In each border outpost is stationed a hundred samurais from the Daimyo's army. Then there is one ANBU squad and ten chunin with twenty genins. That was a standard set up for outposts. Then there were ninja-only outposts but those were a different matter entirely as they didn't serve as a passage for civilians.

The poor ANBU who tried to sneak up on Tsunade didn't have a nice day. He didn't even register as he was grabbed by his neck and flung at the guy in between her and the jonin. The jonin wanted to spring up and jump at Tsunade but was promptly stopped by the ANBU behind him as he grabbed his collar, making his leap stop mid-air as the guy flopped onto the ground with his back. Hard.

The ANBU quickly raised his hand in an appeasing manner and the three genins around him gaped.

"Lady Tsunade." He slightly bowed his head, making Tsunade snort.

"Looks like at least someone from Konoha still remembers me." She huffed and crossed her hands on her chest.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience." The ANBU watched his groaning subordinates on the ground and thanked God she didn't use enough force to kill them. He was merely a chunin during the war but he clearly saw how she flung Suna-nin after Suna-nin into each other, making bloody mangled corpses out of them. He saw war but when he watched Tsunade fight, it ceased to be a war. It was carnage. A bloody spectacle. How could he forget... How could he forget the hero who saved them in that desert hell of poison.

"But," The blond hothead pointed at Tsunade, peeved with the treatment the ANBU gave her. "But she killed our client! She killed a noble!"

It was at that time the chunin arrived and stared at the busty blonde in front of them... all instantly recognizing who it was. There was no newbie among them and every one of them saw her at least once during their lifetimes. The genin though, these gasped as they heard someone killed a noble. That was a capital offense!

"So?" Tsunade mockingly looked at the blond genin. Her childishness surfaced.

"So..." The genins gaped at her attitude while even the chunins were baffled but the ANBU just wryly smiled. He knew that Tsunade was unreasonable but this... he had no idea how to proceed.

"Let me tell you one very important thing that Konoha's Hokage and his elders like to 'forget' very, very often even though they are fully aware of it." Tsunade leaned forward, her hands on her hips.

"When I am called 'Princess' Tsunade. It is not just a matter of speech, squirt. Senju just never really cared for titles." She lectured the bewildered kid with a condescending tone.

Yup, that's the sober version of canon Tsunade, alright... Rei stared at the change in Tsunade with raised eyebrows while Konan snickered into her palm.

Tsunade didn't care about his reaction though and spun on her heel, walking back to Rei and Konan who were having fun watching the spectacle. The duo was just now noticed by other ninjas.

They of course didn't have their hitai-ate on themselves, rather, it was safely stashed in the storage seal. And even their chakra appeared to be only civilian level.

"Sign I entered the country with two companions. Would you?" She momentarily turned to the 'sensible' ANBU and after he nodded she marched off, dragging Rei and Konan with her as the ninja and the people around gaped.

"That was... Senju Tsunade?" The girl from the genin team looked at her jonin-sensei.

"Seems like it." He grimaced.

The girl looked at the disappearing back of the violent blond woman and did guts pose.

"So cool!"

That day, one girl gained her eternal idol…

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC58 - Ch58. Number Nine

Tsunade left Rei and Konan in the closest town to Konoha and they decided to fly the remainder of the way. As they were getting ready to set off, Rei flashed his nature sensing in order to be sure nobody would spot them and quickly put his hand on Konan's shoulder, stopping her.

"There is a group of veeery suspicious people north of us." He told her.

"Okay?" Konan raised her eyebrow, not knowing why should that bother them but Rei had other plans.

"Come, Konan! This is once in a lifetime opportunity!" Rei exclaimed enthusiastically as he grabbed Konan's hand. He didn't think his luck would be this good! To casually stroll on a mission and even stumble on this event!

They both hopped through the trees until they were almost near the group of 'suspicious people.' Crouching down, they watched from foliage as a group of ninja dragged a small exhausted girl. The girl had her hands tied together and under her eyes were big black circles.

"I am going to get her out, you finish the ninjas." He whispered to Konan and gave her a kiss on her cheek before disappearing. Rei appeared in the middle of the ninjas and grabbed the red-haired girl by her waist as he cut the rope. He instantly jumped back, away from them.

"Who are yo-" One of them screamed but didn't manage to finish.

Konan completely surprised the group as it was dark. She enhanced her papers with doton but didn't make them stay white. The paper changed to brown and in the dark, it was almost invisible. As it flew at the group of five ninjas, three were hit whereas the other two actually could use other senses than sight to locate the papers. These three people were hit with the paper...

One's ribcage completely caved in as the paper impacted him, killing him instantly,

Another had a crushed head as the paper hit him in the forehead and unfortunately for the guy, a tree was behind him so his head exploded due to the pressure the paper put it through as it pushed it against the tree trunk before completely felling the tree with a loud 'thud'. It was a quick death.

The third was the unlucky one. He managed to jump away slightly but in mid-air, his foot was hit, snapping it due to the force. He howled in pain as it shattered the bones in his foot and half of his shin. The guy couldn't fight anymore and just rolled on the ground from pain.

The two who survived started to become afraid as they saw their comrades felled almost instantly and looked around. Neither Rei nor Konan could be seen anymore.

Rei landed on the branch Konan was sitting at and put the girl down. Konan noted, the girl looked at the screaming man with sullen anger, enjoying his misery while pouting at her still bound hands. It was almost cute, she thought.

"Well, let's end it then."

Rei shrugged and pointed his finger at one man who was looking for them.

"Raiton: Chain Lightning."

From his finger blue, sparkling lightning connected his finger with the man as the Jutsu colored the dark forest with a blue hue while lightning cracks reverberated through it.

The man was also a raiton user. He was actually very good at raiton and quickly countered the lightning with his own raiton chakra... only strengthening the Jutsu as it rebounded behind him... to his unsuspecting comrade, frying him completely before snapping in the direction of the last man in the clearing. The one with a shattered foot, also killing him.

The man snapped back as the shouts of his fellow jonin filled the clearing and saw that the Jutsu he 'deflected' hit his friend! His eyes widened. He thought the enemy appeared behind him! Shit...

Alas, his back and momentary distraction were too big of an invitation as a suiton bullet drilled through his chest.

"Well, that would be a job-well-done." He sighed and looked at the redhead who timidly watched him with caution in her exhausted eyes.

Before the girl managed to blink, Rei grabbed her by the collar and leaped down from the tree branch followed by Konan.

The girl's heart started beating like crazy but it took time for her mind to reboot and when it did, she found her feet on the ground, the man who saved her smiling at her gently.

She tried to smile back but she was too exhausted and her body collapsed, falling asleep.

Rei caught the falling body of the girl and put her onto the ground.

"So... what's the point of saving her?" Konan asked, coldly staring at the red-head. "She is not some kind of replacement for Ringo, is she?"

Rei rolled his eyes.

"Nope. This girl is special." He took the hem of the girl's shirt and raised it.

"Hmm, are you going to molest the Miss Special then?" Konan asked with an amused voice.

"Of course not!" Rei exasperatedly answered as he put his palm on the girl's bare stomach.

A seal appeared.

"Here we go, Kyuubi jinchuuriki." Rei giddily smiled and half-turned to Konan who was hit with a realization. "Watch the surroundings and wake me up when somebody approaches us. I would loathe anyone seeing what I am gonna do."

Konan understandingly nodded and Rei turned back to the girl, putting a paper with a seal on her belly directly above her seal as he put his hand on the paper and closed his eyes.

...

He appeared before a big golden cage and smirked.

"Heh, so this is Kushina's mindscape? Kinda like Naruto's." He looked around and saw Kushina's form floating on the water surface a few meters away, out cold.

His gaze turned back to the cage, making him smirk.

"Wow. Mito definitely nailed it." He exclaimed as he saw the big boulder and the fox literally nailed by massive spikes to it, chained with chakra chains with many seal tags. As a seal master he knew. This seal would not weaken. It was a masterpiece, to be honest. Created solely to keep the fox in captivity.

Rei walked behind the bars as if he owned the place, approaching the fox that was curiously looking at him.

"Hello, foxie." He smiled.

"Heh, human... I am going to kill you."

Kurama's chakra lunged at Rei, intent to kill clearly visible in it while Rei only smiled as the chakra vanished the second it came close to him. Kurama's eyes widened but then threateningly narrowed. He roared and sent blast after blast at Rei, violently struggling against its bindings in the impotent, mind-numbing rage it felt.

"Noppe." He pleasantly told the fox as he was finished with his objective. He took hold of the seal functions and tightened the 'leash'. Kurama was completely bound to the builder, unable to even exert his massive chakra.

"Well, here I thought this would be an intellectual debacle, ahem, I mean debate. Alas, I gotta go."

And with that, he disappeared from the seal.

"How long was I gone?" He asked Konan as he swiped the paper from Kushina's belly, a smug smile on his face.

"Half an hour. What did you do? Her seal flared with red chakra as your seal absorbed it." Konan asked.

"I am storing some of our nine-tailed friend's chakra for future references. I would do it with sanbi and rokubi back in Kiri but they always have at least one ANBU around. I know I will have the best opportunity later but finding this girl so far from her village... without guards... Hehehe." He let out a creepy laugh which made Konan deadpan.

"Well, a kid is getting closer while some man is being hidden but follows the kid." She stated.

"Ah... already?" Rei nodded and sat near Kushina as he dragged her shirt down. No need to give these two ideas, right? Rei was sure at least one of them would like that.

...

Another twenty minutes when a blond teenager burst from the foliage, flying directly at Rei only to... find his face pressed into the ground as Rei's hand kept it there.

"Punk, nobody ever taught you it is impolite to just jump at people? Who is your teacher? Some sexual offender?" Rei passively asked and could hear someone stumble in the foliage.

This was not yet the Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage. This was a teenager. A hasty one at that.

"I am going to loosen my grip, be a good boy, and don't perv at me too much, kay?"

He could hear a muffled muttering as the boy's head was pressed to the ground and chuckled. The second he let the boy go, he jumped back, landing in a crouch as he unsheathed his tanto.

"Who are you!" The boy asked but Rei ignored him.

"Will the pervy-sage come down alone or is such a strenuous activity too much for you, Jiraiya?"

"Sensei!" Minato was startled as his sensei appeared next to him, his eyes narrowed at Rei. He thought he was hidden well... How did this kid.

Jiraiya was about to jump at the kid when he saw something very disturbing. Thousands of futon papers came floating from all around, felling trees in their path. He stopped in his tracks, knowing this was a very dangerous situation as his eyes trailed to Konan while narrowing. He wasn't afraid for himself. But the two teenagers of Konoha? They would not survive it.

"What do you want..." He sighed.

"I just wanted to know... Minato-kun, is this a mission, or did you really run from the village for her?" Rei jabbed his finger at Kushina.

This was all fishy. If it was a proper mission for reclaiming a jinchuuriki, they would send an entire team of jonin. Not a... genin? Chunin? Whatever he with his lonesome self was.

Just the fact that the losers who kidnapped the girl were supposed to be 'jonin' from Kumo yet fell like flies... Something was fishy here. The idiots were WALKING. Not running away. Not rushing to deliver an important package. They were having a goddamn STROLL.

"That is classified." Jiraiya bit out and Rei laughed.

"Yes, that is clearly a positive answer if I ever heard one." He slapped his knee happily.

"Kid... just don't go out with your 'I didn't help you in the academy because I thought you are a strong tripe', kay? It is a pathetic excuse." Rei snorted, making Minato blush and open his mouth only to close it.

Oh, Rei had no doubt the kid loved Kushina. The fervor he put into his attack as he saw her body lying in front of Rei... He loved the girl, alright. But it was also obviously a recent thing as his hormones started working and she started to look less like a tomboy. During academy, he most likely just didn't care.

"Well, I just wanted to know if Konoha would stoop so low as to manipulate a lonely girl into marrying a ninja who wanted her... well, you being here completely ALONE is a clear answer. If you really rushed out of the village to save her, it would be grounds for defection."

It would fuck up his career somewhat fierce as the kid was an orphan. Sure, Jiraiya could mitigate it but becoming Hokage would be hard if not impossible after that. There was too much politics involved to pick someone who had 'reckless' in his records.

Before they could answer, the chakra ran out and Rei dissolved into the water while Konan into papers, leaving two gaping men and one unconscious tomato lying on the floor.

--

Sooo, you probably noticed I am not going for Kushina.

Reason 1: Plot. Yup. It's that simple.

Reason 2: I just do not like her character. Her adult character looks... dunno, never really liked it. And that's not talking about her personality...

Reason 3: Had no inspiration as to what to do with her. I wasn't about to write about MC and another woman... Too much work.

Now: It might look like MC left her in the clutches of manipulative people and he did. He owed the girl nothing. But in this story (even if it is not important) Minato loves Kushina and Kushina will fall in love with him regardless of him saving her. Period.

NovelIn Naruto: Reborn with TalentChapter 59 - Ch59. Tsunade Visiting Konoha.

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC59 - Ch59. Tsunade Visiting Konoha.

Tsunade walked through the gates of Konoha but surprisingly, she didn't feel at home at all. She felt... annoyed. The faces of her grandfather and granduncle were the only thing that somewhat soothed her reluctance as she approached the booth with the guards. When she came closer to it, she instantly saw two men sweetly sleeping and her annoyance was again there, rearing its ugly head.

With a twitching eyebrow, she banged her papers on the table, making it shake enough to wake up the two shinobi. They jumped up, prepared for a fight until their sleepy eyes spotted a frowning Tsunade.

"What the hell are you two doing..." She asked darkly, drumming her finger onto her papers. "I don't have all day." She added with a threatening scowl.

The guards looked sheepish and took her papers, their eyes bulging out the second they read her name. While the guards were busy with her papers, she noticed an ANBU departing from behind the booth, most likely heading to inform the Hokage about her arrival. Nevertheless, Tsunade didn't go to greet her Sensei. No, she first went to the Senju compound where she spent hours on end to relocate the entire library, treasury, and anything of use to Rei's dimension or her storage. She cleaned it all. She wasn't feeling generous towards Konoha. Sure, it might have been a village created by her grandfather and even could be called her clan's heritage but… with the current leadership of the village and the Senju clan's extinct status, Tsunade really didn't feel any attachment toward the village.

As she looked at the bare walls and furniture-free rooms of the houses in the Senju compound, Tsunade nodded in self-satisfaction at her handi-work. No scroll was left unturned and even if the village broke through the seals securing the compound, they wouldn't be able to find anything. Tsunade found quite a few marks that somebody indeed did try to get inside the compound in her absence… this, however, only strengthened her belief that the future of her clan no longer lies with Konoha.

"Maybe I should do the same with the Uchiha compound just secretly?" She briefly thought but dismissed the idea as she doubted these egoistical pyromaniacs would have anything useful stashed away.

But now... her reason for returning to Konoha was finished and she couldn't help but feel awkward. This place was once her home. Something she wouldn't mind dying for. But now? Now it was but a painful reminder of her clan that died for the village.

Sure, maybe her ancestors would want her to protect it to pay her respect to them… she was even playing with the idea of destroying it as it was the reason for their demise. For better or worse, Rei disabused that notion quite quickly though. In the end, Tsunade decided to go the third, neutral route and just stop caring about it. She had a new home and the dead will stay dead no matter what befalls Konoha.

At the end of the day, she was about to exit her compound and sullenly walk towards the Hokage Tower when she saw an ANBU waiting for her in front of it.

"What." She asked in irritation, her hands instantly crossing on her chest.

"The Council is calling for you, Lady Tsunade." The ANBU bowed and disappeared.

"So?" She muttered to herself as she looked at the empty spot where the ANBU stood just a second ago. "Tell me, ANBU-san, why should I care what some old inept idiots want? Do I look that free to you?" She told towards the air with untold amusement in her tone, knowing full well nobody listened. Being summoned? Why should that be her problem? She was the head of the Senju clan! She can be summoned only by Hokage and even then the old monkey must be polite about it. The council? Ha! No chance.

Tsunade shrugged and decided that it was a great day for some shopping!

...

It was an evening already, six hours later, when Tsunade leisurely walked into the Council Room as her eyes slowly trailed over the forms of very annoyed clan heads, dozing off civilians, Hiruzen smoking his tenth pipe with a twitching eyebrow, the elders looking at her with a murderous glare, and Danzo... being Danzo.

"Tsunade... where were you?" Hiruzen asked as she reached the Senju seat and flopped into it, instantly supporting her head with her arm.

"Home, Shopping, a new restaurant called Ichiraku… damn they have incredible ramen!" Tsunade, with the corner of her eye, noted that only the Akemichi clan head appreciated the comment and quickly tried to discreetly make some sort of 'note'. She continued. "in the park, on the Senju training grounds, trying to find out what changed and then I was asked for autographs. It took time to get out of that." Tsunade dismissively waved her free hand around as she drawled. "Anyway, I thought the civilian council should have been abolished after the war. What are they doing here?" Tsunade uncaringly pointed at the sleepy civilians with her thumb.

The civilians looked at her with spooked eyes while the clan heads just smirked. As they were to get involved, Danzo interrupted. "We are here for a different matter, Tsuna-" Before he could finish the killing intent of Tsunade flooded the place and he stopped himself to reword it. "Senju-san." Tsunade grunted and gestured a 'get on with it' with her hand.

"We think it is time for you to come back to the village and marry." Koharu stated.

"And is that something a woman whose husband supposedly hung 'himself' should be telling me?" Tsunade quipped in annoyance with an apparent smirk on her face, making Koharu blanch as even Hiruzen flinched slightly. That was a low blow if he saw one. "Anyone with half a brain knows he had external 'help' councilwoman Koharu." Tsunade added, making the civilians give Koharu suspicious stares.

Damn, Konan is really a bad influence... Tsunade thinned her lips to at least somehow hide the smirk. Just then she was pulled out of her thoughts by the elder Homura. "Senju-san, you are the last breedable Senju. It is your duty to Konoha to-"

"To make sure my clan is never going to be a part of it ever again." She chuckled, startling all clan heads and even Danzo widened his eyes slightly at that despite knowing why she fought it so much. Hiruzen, on the other hand, looked at Tsunade with pity. He had to praise her though. Her transformation was really impressive! Even he was unable to see through it. Just... he thought she would choose a look closer to her age. Contrary to his thoughts, this was her real look. Her prime, twenty-two years old body.

"I had a LOT of time to think you see..." Tsunade sighed as she continued talking but her tone turned cold. "There is no one with Senju blood in Konoha but me. And you want ME to marry?"

"Well, that's obvious. That's why you are integrated into CRA." Uchiha clan head sneered at her as if she was stupid, making her chuckle at the idiot.

"I pity your simplemindedness. Stupidity runs in your blood, huh?" She mocked as if talking to a child, making the man bristle. She didn't give him time to counterattack though. Turning to her Sensei, her eyes narrowed. "Senju was the most intermarried clan of Konoha. Almost every clan had a Senju married to it at one point or the other." It was then that the minds of the clan heads clicked. Their eyes snapped to Tsunade as they widened.

"I meant it when I said there is literally NOBODY with Senju blood in Konoha." Tsunade seriously told them, observing Hiruzen intently. "Ten years. That's how long it took for this to happen. The Senju, the intermarried Senju, and even any kid with Senju blood. Plus civilians. All gone. In ten years. Do I need to ask how exactly that came to be?" She then turned towards the Uchiha clan head who was now staring at her with wide eyes. "What about you Uchiha? If Senju took a decade while being spread through the entirety of Konoha and had members in every clan… how long would it take for your inbred clan that is concentrated in a single spot to be culled out? A day?" In the middle of her sentence, her eyes clashed with Hiruzen's.

The room was silent at that. Clan Heads feared extinction more than death itself but none were foolish enough to think that a complete blood purge could be 'natural'. Their looks got wary as they watched the stare-off between Tsunade and Hiruzen.

In the end, Hiruzen in the end slumped down and sighed. "We noticed the unnatural death rates and accidents of the Senju clan. But... the culprit was never found." He told Tsunade who barked out a sarcastic laugh at him.

"So you did know!... and it didn't occur to you to inform us about it? You let Senju die out." Tsunade chuckled as she said that and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. "You know what... don't answer. I am outta this shithole." She said and stood up, leaving the chambers.

An ANBU tried to intercept her path but Tsunade was way past the point of coddling anyone and directly smashed the ANBU through three walls, utterly breaking his body. After that, no other ANBU stopped her. Nor did the councilors or the Hokage who were awkwardly staring at her disappeared

NovelIn Naruto: Reborn with TalentChapter 60 - Ch60. Confrontation

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC60 - Ch60. Confrontation

Tsunade was walking out of Konoha for an hour already. She was not there even for a day and her mood was already fucked up. She was so angry, she decided to take a bit of a stroll through the forests her grandfather created to cool her head. She wasn't really angry that Sarutobi didn't stop her clan from going extinct. She was mad he allowed her brother to go out of the village even after knowing that somebody was hunting for Senju for a DECADE.

She didn't really think her Sensei would know about the Senju 'purge'. She wanted to believe in him. Believe that he would inform the clan if it was true. But Konan and Rei had a very plausible and chilling hypothesis. They both told her it is only their guess but... she wanted to make sure. It WAS very suspicious, indeed. When she told the councilors that she was sightseeing, she meant more of 'research in the hospital' kind of sightseeing. Yes... Rei was right. There was nobody with Senju blood left in the Konoha. At all. Every descendant was killed. To the last child.

She knew Senju were dead. But it didn't mean extinct. There was still that minuscule chance their blood in the village would awaken again. But now... she could only shake her head. First Konoha let her clan die and then wanted HER to be a baby factory for their loyal ninjas to enjoy themselves. She really didn't know what to be more disappointed about.

Worse yet… it was obvious the 'Senju-hunter' was somebody FROM Konoha as there was no way an outsider would get enough intel to pinpoint every Senju. The only way to do that was blood tests… and that meant the one responsible for her clan's demise IS on the Council and WAS in the room when she spoke the truth about the REAL state of her clan. Tsunade was only sure it was not the Hokage as the man was basically worshipping the ground her granduncle walked on. He would rather kill himself than do this. She would suspect the Uchiha-twerp but… she doubted he had enough brain cells left to do something as elaborate as this.

In the end, it was pointless to think about it. Tsunade wasn't even that interested in 'who' and she could imagine multiple 'why'. As for revenge? What would that accomplish? Her heart demanded her to return to Rei's side rather than plot a pointless witch-hunt in Konoha. It was just not worth the effort.

As she was walking away from Konoha on her own two feet, suddenly ten ninja in white masks surrounded her. By now, Tsunade was aware they were following her for minutes. Since Rei started teaching her how to 'control' nature energy, her sensory abilities improved tremendously. She could have just teleported away but she was too interested in what they wanted.

One of the ninja stepped forward and spoke in a monotonous voice that lacked emotions. "Tsunade-sama. Please return and join CRA or we will be forced to make you participate forcefully." Tsunade was a bit disturbed how… dead, the man sounded but in the end, she derisively snorted. She had just about enough for one day of bullshit.

Bending forward, her fist smashed into the ground.

...

In Konoha, Hiruzen was sighing in sadness at the way his student departed. He looked through the window at his village and couldn't help but wonder if he did something wrong. Just then a huge cloud of dust rose a bit away from the village up to the sky. He recognized it. How could he not when he saw it just on a smaller scale almost daily!

"Tsunade!"

His heart almost jumped out of his throat as he quickly grabbed his armor and ran out of his office, towards the place.

…

The impact of the punch smashed the ground in a radius of hundred meters, making it break. Thanks to her sensory abilities, Tsunade knew nine of the men jumped up before the impact and only one of the ten was affected by it. Ironically it was the idiot that spoke as that action proved to be distracting enough for him to not react on time. The kinetic force she spread through the ground was so fast and strong that it shattered his legs upon contact. She straightened up and crossed her arms. All around, only dust could be seen, and she was quite certain her opponents would use this to attack her.

She was obviously correct as three seconds later, four men with small tantos jumped at 'her' through the dust only to find the spot, she was previously on, empty. They momentarily looked at each other before they heard creaking and felt themselves being squeezed… darkness claimed them.

Tsunade looked at her handiwork as the four men were now trapped in woody vines that spiraled around their bodies, binding them while putting tremendous pressure on them. Tsunade was aware that while Rei might not do it intentionally, his stories about various Jutsu used by some people she was not even sure 'existed'... helped her incredibly with inspiration for Jutsu. For example the Suna Jinchuuriki he was talking about. Tsunade was sure the jinchuuriki containing the Ichibi was a monk who was locked away his entire life but Rei said he could use sand to wrap people in it and squeeze them to death. She had no idea where he got that information but it was VERY inspiring!

More woody vines sprang up from the ground due to her feeding the ground with her mokuton chakra and the remaining men were dragged towards her location by them like ragdolls, smashing to the ground, trees, or each other. She just walked towards a nearby trunk of a tree that fell when her punch impacted the ground and leisurely sat on it. Her eyes were looking at the bodies trapped inside thick vines, all ten of them, as she reached towards the head of the guy with shattered legs. She took the mask of the idiot who spoke into her hands and looked at it with a frown.

"I don't know who sent you... but I don't care." She spoke in a very uncaring and cold tone before the vines constricted… The Root ANBU exploded into a bloody pulp as blood covered the clearing, squirting out of the gaps between the vines as they squeezed the men before promptly vanishing into the ground, leaving only smears and very mangled remains of corpses behind.

...

Koichi was a sensor. He was the so-called eternal Chunin, aged 75. He still played ninja because he found it fun to flex his impeccable sensing skills from time to time! But right now… he was positively elated! His sensory abilities were praised even by the second Hokage and he had indeed incredible range. But… he had to gulp as he sensed what exactly happened in front of them.

"Oi! Koichi, sense something yet?" His teammate asked him, making him purse his lips but...

"No. Nothing, sorry." Koichi shook his head. His eyes teared up as he felt the nostalgic pulse of Mokuton Chakra. The very same he last felt from the man he respected most, Hashirama Senju.

A few minutes later, they came to a clearing and saw Tsunade sit on a thick trunk, playing with a white mask in her hand. All around were bloody puddles, making the shinobi gulp as they smelt the blood in the air. Koichi was looking around but surprisingly, no evidence of Mokuton could be found in the vicinity.

Tsunade-sama, your secret is safe with me. I am sure Hashirama-sama would be proud of you!... He thought as a slight smile appeared on his face only to change into a frown as one ANBU stepped forward with quite a condescending attitude.

"Senju, what happened?" The ANBU asked her somewhat haughtily. Uchiha, most likely and a young one at that, Koichi noted. No sane or experienced person would confront Senju Tsunade while her mood was clearly murder-happy! While shinobi were not sanest of the sort, they compensated with experience… and now was NOT the time to act like a dick!

"This happened." Tsunade boredly said, gesturing to the mangled corpses strewn around the clearing as she lifted her eyes to the ANBU and lazily threw the mask in her hand to him. Koichi saw the young Uchiha ANBU about to smugly catch the slowly flying mask when... the mask somehow 'overpowered' the man and flung him to the tree behind him due to the force of the throw. The tree creaked and broke as the body of the ninja powerlessly flopped to the ground alongside the now broken tree. Thankfully, the man had chakra reinforcement and armor on so he survived.

Tsunade didn't care and turned to the remaining ANBU and Koichi shuddered at her impassionate gaze. "Tell the Hokage that if one more ninja from Konoha attacks me, you will have a new Sanin defecting." Tsunade said and stood up while patting the dust from her thighs away. "Tell him to call me only if something really important happened... like a war. I am sure Jiraiya would be able to find me if I am needed." She turned around and was about to walk away.

"And if not?" The Sandaime's voice sounded from behind Koichi's group, making her stop but not turn around.

"Then that would mean you don't need me half as much as you think if you can't even spend resources to find me." She grunted and continued forward, heedless of Sarutobi's sad expression.

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC61 - Ch61. Vs. Hanzo

Rei and Konan were in the Land of Rain on a quick detour when Tsunade suddenly popped next to them. Rei raised his eyebrow at her and asked. "Done in Konoha? That was fast." Tsunade pouted at his sarcasm and embraced him. As she hung around his neck, she started complaining about her time in Konoha, making Rei laugh a bit. He patted the head of the sullen small blonde in his arms. "Ma~, ma~, it's fine." He bemusedly told her.

"You going to fight Hanzo?" Tsunade asked as she saw Amegakure a few miles in front of them. She also noted that neither Rei nor Konan had their hitai-ate on them. Ame was isolated so not many rumors would be able to escape it but it seemed like they were overly prepared.

"Yup." Rei nodded. "There should be a salamander that could help you with Creation Rebirth."

As Tsunade heard him saying they are going to face Hanzo for her... She couldn't help but feel her heart flutter. Her expression softened as a determined look entered her eyes. "I will fight too!" She half-expected to be rebuffed but to her surprise, Rei only nodded.

"Sure." He shrugged. For Rei, Tsunade was strong enough to get out of this fight alive even without her Creation Rebirth. She was a lot stronger than before after their training.

The trio finally arrived near the Amegakure and didn't have to wait long after they flexed their chakra. At first, ten jonin of Ame appeared to question them about their intentions but before they could speak, Rei sent ten needles formed out of Raiton chakra, killing nine of them while the last one barely evaded and shunshined away.

Rei didn't mimic the Chidori techniques of Sasuke. How could he? Sasuke was not born yet! It was obviously his original, right!? Hell, Kakashi didn't even invent Chidori yet! Obviously, the Jutsu was invented by Rei! What original of Kakashi! The kid obviously only copied it from yours truly! Muhahaha!

It didn't take long for an entire army of two hundred Ame-nin appearing in front of them and… Rei and Konan just molded their suiton chakra while Tsunade weaved hand seals. "Suiton: Tsunami Stream." Three voices chorused as the water all around them lifted and five meters high, crushing waves covered the small army rushing at them.

"Well, but seriously. When will the last boss appear." Rei mumbled.

...

Hanzo in his tower frowned. He saw what happened and could only sigh. No matter how many he would send, they would be drowned by these three assailants. He couldn't see them well but... obviously, three suiton users in a country perpetually covered in water was a dangerous combo. There was only one conclusion. He had to get involved himself so with another sigh, he was off to face these insolent twerps.

It didn't take him long. He arrived in front of the intruders quite fast but was surprised by what he saw. The blond woman and the pale-blond kid were making out! Now... now he felt insulted. But he was a patient AND polite man. He waited until they finished. He would give them time for their last kiss. Did he mention he was generous too?

Five minutes later… "Oi..." He was not THAT generous!

Rei finally stopped licking Tsunade's mouth as he heard an annoyed voice from behind him. He turned only to see an old man with a breathing mask who was looking at them with a deadpan stare as his eyebrow twitched. "Oh? Sorry old man. We are a bit preoccupied now. Could you come later?" Rei asked politely, discreetly preparing for a fight.

"No." Hanzo answered in deadpan but then his eyes trailed to the blond woman and he squinted. "You... the Senju?" He looked at her as if she was stupid. "Didn't you receive enough of a beating the last time we met, girl?" He asked her mockingly, remembering her temper from the last time.

Tsunade just uncaringly shrugged, startling Hanzo. "Don't care..." As she said that, thick tree trunks sprang from the ground around Hanzo and their branches attacked him. He was bewildered but managed to dodge as he saw the flatlands near his village being changed to a forest.

Grumbling, he took out his kusarigama and enhanced it with futon chakra as he mowed tree after tree in his vicinity. He suddenly found himself a target for a big fireball and clapped his hands, calling forth a Waterwall. A sizzling sound resounded through the newly-made forest as the fireball met waterwall and vapor started being created, covering the forest in a mist. Konan used that mist to discreetly move her papers all over the forest, making sure they were unseen by Hanzo.

They were fighting while trying to not use any of their signature Jutsu. Rei was good at this as he revealed only his Suiton, Raiton, and kenjutsu so far but her? She had at most her doton and futon Jutsu and those were quite limited.

Hanzo leaped up as he felt danger and a second later, ten water needles impacted the place he previously stood. "Heh, nice dodge." Rei's voice resounded through the mist.

Hanzo was about to reply when his feet landed on a branch and... he only barely managed to jump away while coating his feet in suiton chakra to prevent damage as the branch exploded. "Paper tags... now that's insulting." Hanzo commented dryly. Paper tags were the basics of basics. To use them against him... He couldn't help but praise them mentally. He landed on the ground and threw his kusarigama to the right, making it vanish in the mist.

Rei was about to unleash a raiton Jutsu as Hanzo stood in a puddle of water but he had to dodge to the left as kusarigama suddenly flew at him. "Fuck, he can sense me?" Rei was quite bewildered but didn't have time to ponder as the chain connected to the kusarigama jerked and the blade flew at him. He blocked it with a kunai and leaped back but the kusarigama's chain again pulsed and the weapon just followed Rei while he blocked its slashes and weaved through the trees but was unable to shake off the scythe.

"You are too green..." Hanzo chuckled as Rei had to use supreme effort to evade his technique but then his eyes went wide. "Shit." He exclaimed as he sidestepped a downward punch from Tsunade and saw as the ground in the entire surroundings broke, creating large pieces of the earth that rose at the pressure the punch exerted onto the ground. "Ah... you did have massive strength, didn't you?" Hanzo said when he landed a bit away and instantly threw a kunai behind himself. "Sneaking? That won't wo-"

'Boom'.

Away from the battlefield, Konan chuckled. "Simple always works."

Hanzo coughed as he felt his back slightly burned, anger flooding him. "Paper tags again..." He grumbled as he unsheathed his second kusarigama and blocked a flurry of shuriken enhanced by futon chakra in instant only to spin on his heel and block Rei's kunai.

The two men stood and tried to overpower each other. "You are good, kid." Hanzo praised but then noted the smile on Rei and read his lips. His eyes opened wide as...

'Boom'.

The real Rei, a bit away, chuckled. "Third time he fell for it!" He turned to Konan and high-fived while Tsunade could only chuckle.

Hanzo's eye was twitching as the dust cleared. He was not injured. He could block a freaking paper tag! That's academy level stuff! Or at least, it should be! He had enough proficiency in the suiton to do so. But it was annoying as heck... his reputation was suffering! Sighing, he put his hands together, his index fingers pointing upwards. "You asked for it, brats." He started quickly weaving hand signs and ended it with crouching and powerfully pushing his right palm into the water on the ground.

"Suiton: Shredding Wave."

Rei and Konan cursed as they felt the chakra fluctuate and a huge amount of suiton chakra was pushed into the Jutsu. Rei knew that Tsunade couldn't yet sense that well through the nature energy to distinguish what Jutsu was used as she focused more on Mokuton so he jumped to her and took her in a princess carry before jumping up, where Konan already formed a platform of papers.

They could only watch as the very small amount of water on the ground suddenly pulsed, and from Hanzo's position as its center, it spread in ripple-like motion to the surroundings, gathering more and more water, rising up to the level of a human chest. Despite being only that high, the wave of water was so pressurized, it literally shredded through the mokuton trees and the forest Tsunade built, started falling down.

"Damn... that was a blow below the belt if I see one." Rei commented while Konan nodded as Tsunade could only wryly smile. That single Jutsu covered a few hundred meters radius. It was the true testament to just how much Hanzo played with them during the fight.

Hanzo casually stood on the ground among the felled trees and cooly looked at the paper platform as he spun his kusarigama lazily, not drained or tired at all. "Well..." He started. "This is entertaining and all but I can't have you rampaging around MY village, you see. You will just have to be good kids and die." He stopped his spinning kusarigama and stuck it into the ground as his hands started weaving hand signs. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" He smashed his palm onto the ground and Rei smirked.

"Finally." Rei quietly muttered. "The rest is yours, Konan." Rei enhanced his body with raiton chakra and jumped towards the summoned Salamander. Their goal was finally reached.

As the summoned salamander was about to ask why he was summoned, Rei, coated in raiton chakra, entered its mouth.

The salamander quickly closed it due to the unexpected feeling.

Rei didn't need to do much. He only jabbed Chidori through the insides of the salamander and...

Hanzo gaped as the salamander boss summon, his personal salamander, was minced from inside by lightning jutsu and then went 'puff'.

When Konan saw Rei safely enter the Salamander Summoning Realm, she turned to Tsunade.

"Go and enter our dimension. I will be there in a second."

Tsunade wanted to protest but something in Konan's voice stopped her. Konan was completely serious and it was clear nothing short of total obedience would be tolerated. It was the same kind of voice her uncle Tobirama used on her when she pulled on his hair as a kind...

Tsunade shuddered but nodded with utmost seriousness as she used the Self-Storing seal on her body to pop herself away.

Konan smiled as she saw Tsunade disappear and turned to Hanzo who was glaring at her.

"Girl! Do you know what you just did!?" He coldly shouted. He tried to spark a conversation while he molded his chakra for a finishing move.

Konan didn't care and just cracked a slight smile as she put her hand next to her face and pointed upwards. It was a calm, and amused gesture that made Hanzo's have a bad premonition.

He slightly arched his head back so he could look up without losing sight of Konan. His eyes squinted and his confusion turned into a confused one as he saw... black clouds.

It was the exact same black clouds that covered Amegakure all year long, showering it with rain. He pursed his lips and looked at Konan, about to mock her when his senses felt 'it', making his head snap back onto the sky with his eyes widened.

"You didn't think I just stood back without doing anything, did you?" Hanzo heard the amused voice of the girl but couldn't bring himself to care. He had bigger problems than her.

His respiration mask almost dropped on the floor as he saw it.

The clouds were torn apart due to sheer wind pressure, stopping the ever-present rain for the first time in months. But it was not the sky that greeted Hanzo's sight. Far from it...

He gulped as he saw hundred house-sized brown balls of rock falling from the sky as flames licked their surface, creating a fiery spectacle aimed straight at him. The wind was visibly washing over the meteorites as they pushed their way through it.

"Well then, I will be off. Good luck." Konan uttered in a smug tone and ported herself away.

Hanzo's head snapped onto the spot Konan just disappeared from and he cursed. He didn't have time! His hands snapped into a rapid flurry of hand seals as he started raising a wall of the earth after a wall of earth to make the surface as uneven as possible in the hope to mitigate the damage this would cause his village!

These 'meteorites' were worse than normal ones. They were a ball made of Konan's doton-hardened slices of paper. Millions of them stacked on each other to create a heavy and hard ball. Konan would never be able to use this without the MultiW seal, Rei's dimension for creating Mokuton Trees, and her Mokuton to paper conversion.

It was a lot harder than normal earth, rock, almost surpassing metal or steel in hardness. Something like this impacting earth at high velocity...

For the first time in the history of the Land of Ame... the heavens rained fire and earth.

And then... the flaming meteorites impacted the ground, completely snapping any earth construct Hanzo was capable of making in the short twenty seconds he had. Loud booming explosions could be heard as one after the other, the meteorites landed, creating large craters due to the sheer speed they attained by falling. Shockwaves spread away from the landing-place, destroying everything in their path as pieces of earth flew all around in a flurry of dangerous and fast projectiles, most of them set on fire.

The clearing in front of Amegakure changed to fiery hell as more and more flaming rocks were sent all around, setting the previously created forest on fire, creating a maelstrom of an inferno that ferociously devoured the strong Mokuton trees.

Fortunately for the Amegakure, it had its own sealing protections and some capable ninja as walls of earth and water raised almost instantly, in the hope to mitigate some of the damage. The ground trembled as if in pain from the impact, creating the first-ever earthquake Amegakure experienced. Shinobi barely managed to stay on their feet while the unfortunate idiots who stayed on the streets, gawking at the spectacles instead of hiding inside, were sent rolling and sprawling on the ground.

But even then, the shockwaves came just a bit later and tore through the defensive Jutsu as a knife through butter, and as weakened as they were from it, they impacted the closest part of the village to the landing place of the meteorites. The civilians on the ground were again lifted to the air as they powerlessly sailed, stopping only when their bodies crashed into some obstacles while the shinobi tried to brace themselves as the wind pressure made them slid back across the ground. The buildings creaked from the strong pressure, making the people inside weep and shake in their boots from fear of the buildings falling on their heads.

It took an entire minute for the booming sounds of meteorites impacting the ground to finally cease. This minute was a nightmare for the inhabitants of the Amegakure as with every second, the earthquake got only stronger, with every second, another shockwave hit the village, with every second, the buildings groaned stronger and stronger from the pressure.

It was a miracle no major damage was caused to the village and none of the fiery debris created by the impact actually reached the village.

The Amegakure survived. Frightened, marked, traumatized... but survived.

The clearing in front of it though, the very same clearing that now had no trees as every single one burned down... now contained a multitude of craters and dents. A stark reminder of what could have been if the meteorite shower landed a bit closer to the village.

Hanzo's head suddenly popped out of the ground in the central crater, making his heart tighten as he saw the amount of destruction all around. He barely managed to use the Hiding as a Mole technique to burry himself deep enough to come out of this almost unscathed. But even then, the pressure of the landing of the meteorites sent vibrations through the ground and many of his bones were either cracked or broken while bruises marred his body. He was dirty, sweaty, covered in dust and earth, and angry beyond belief... but he was scared first and foremost.

"Hashirama... Madara... is another world-shaking monster crawling its way out to the world?" His shaky eyes couldn't stop staring at the many wide craters...

'I will need stronger ninja... more ninja. I will need a better deterrent.' Hanzo glumly thought. He fancied himself strong. He knew he had nothing on the real monsters in this world but these rarely paid attention to him and in this era with both Hashirama and Madara dead. With the first and Second Kages death, he thought he was finally getting back into the top three, at least.

Hanzo had no idea what the reason for this attack was as fortunately, he and his village came out of it relatively unscathed and the biggest losses were his summoned animal and a few shinobi but he couldn't deny that it happened. It was time to start strengthening the village in the earnest.

Thoughts like these fearfully swirled in his head as he limped his way through the devastated land, back to his village. It was time to take the game seriously again. Determination filled his being. Determination to survive. Determination to train. To become stronger. To make Amegakure greater. Hanzo regained his long-forgotten resolve as he survived the obvious reminder of the era long-past.

...

In Rei's personal dimension, Tsunade watched Konan as she teleported herself inside the dimension, taking off her raincoat with a nostalgic smile as she shook the water out of it on the porch.

"What happened?" Tsunade asked worriedly, her eyes trailing on Konan's frame, trying to find even the smallest of wounds with worry in her gaze.

"Ah... I am fine. Just showered Amegakure a bit." Konan dismissively waved her hand in a 'no big deal' gesture. "I definitely lived up to the reputation of Downpour..." Konan's lips stretched into an amused and knowing smirk.

'Suiton Jutsu, huh...' Tsunade accepted the explanation with a nod, not really caring all that much. But this was Hanzo they just faced. Of course, she was worried about her sister facing him alone!

"Let's cook something for Rei." Konan excitedly told Tsunade as she took her hands into hers and dragged her to the kitchen. Tsunade quickly forgot her questions as both girls expectantly awaited their beloved while preparing a meal, peacefully chatting away the long while as they enjoyed the warmth and comfort of each other's presence. In the end, both girls ended up covered in floor and cream after their escapades in the kitchen... well, nobody said they actually COULD cook.

NovelIn Naruto: Reborn with TalentChapter 63 - Ch63. Salamander Realm 1

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC63 - Ch63. Salamander Realm 1

The body of the dead and bloody salamander boss summon appeared inside the Summoning Realm of Salamanders. It had many cauterized holes all around its body caused by Rei's lightning Jutsu that blasted it from inside out. A lot of salamanders looked at it with bewilderment clear in their eyes, never expecting the strongest salamander of the younger generation to die so brutally! But before they could react, the body exploded outwardly in a massive show of blood and gore, covering the closest ones in blood and gore while obstructing their vision.

As the salamanders were still shocked by the death of the boss summon, thousands of Rei's water clones burst out of the now exploded corpse and started to attack the salamanders with abandon, explosions filled the immediate surroundings and the battlefield started spreading further and further, the further the clones reached. But they were only a distraction. Rei covered himself up in nature energy and started sneaking around, evading the battle.

The entire Salamander Realm was turned upside down. Fighting resounded through the cavern system as water splashes and explosions were the most frequent sounds. It was then that the oldest and most experienced battle-veterans of Salamander Realm showed up and with them... water. Humongous amounts of water Jutsu started drowning the clones as the caverns started to be flooded. Rei didn't care, he located his target and was on his way towards it.

Axolotl Salamander as big as a building was smashing two clones right and left with his body, heavily relying on its regeneration. It was a magnificent sight. Axolotl had a massive regenerative factor by itself but when it got enhanced by nature energy, the beast became night unkillable unless he was struck in a vital area! Cut off his limbs or tail... heck! Destroy half of its brain or snap its spine and it could just regrow it or reconnect the nerves! Even puncturing the heart wasn't fatal.

This salamander was his goal. He needed a proper gift for Tsunade, after all. The Kaguya clan is good and all and their regenerative factor is amazing but even they can't survive with their heart or brain injured. Axolotl could. Axolotl filled with nature energy? 'Oh boy, Tsunade will have a field day with this guy!' Rei giddily thought. He naturally didn't want his girls in harm's way but he wasn't naive to think it would never happen. If he could help Tsunade to make a Jutsu that would make her semi-immortal ever-regenerating battle-monster? Why not? He was all for it!

The Axolotl just smashed a clone into the ground with his tail, cracking the ground, impacting the water there, sending it all around. Rei knew he had to sneak attack it. Fighting with it would attract attention and such a durable thing like the beast in front of him would have ample time to get reinforcements. He might be supremely strong but he had no idea what Salamanders could do and didn't like charging forward blindly. But then again, there was nobody who knew what Salamanders were capable of. Rei doubted even Hanzo was fully aware of their strength. After all, the guy was never taught Senjutsu, for one.

It was then... five of his clones jumped at the Axolotl from the sky, distracting it and Rei instantly used his very own improved Suiton: Water Dome to trap both him and the salamander inside. It was his own derivation of the Water Wall and raised a very dense and chakra-soaked Water Dome all around Rei. The Dome was quite durable and nothing short of borderline S-rank Jutsu could penetrate it which showed at the chakra cost of creating it. But Rei knew that direct confrontation against an ever regenerating opponent would last ages, a time he definitely didn't have, so he decided to be sneaky and for once act like a ninja. The second the wall covered both the Axolotl and Rei, tens of clones were made from its walls and jumped the Axolotl from every direction, distracting it with their attacks. The beast was instantly startled and started thrashing itself madly around in hopes to defeat as many clones. At least, it looked like a thrashing but by the number of clones that were already smashed, Rei surmised its some form of salamander taijutsu... He didn't create the clones for offense though. No, he created them so he could hide amongst them! The Axolotl was too focused on destroying the clones and Rei could approach it unseen. As he neared the side of the summoning beast, he smiled to himself.

The Axolotl indeed didn't notice the real Rei in the middle of his clones. Killing it would be so easy! Just separating the head from the body... no matter how big of a regenerative factor the beast had, it would not survive decapitation. Alas, he needed the beast alive so Tsunade can study it and that made his task so much harder. He decided to go for it quite brutally as he stuck his chokuto up to the handle into the side of the Axolotl. Before the beast could even let out a yelp of pain, however, Rei coursed finely-controlled raiton chakra through the blade, paralyzing it. From that point on, the clones jumped towards the paralyzed beast and quickly started drawing binding seals all over it. Two minutes of a dozen clones doing the seal work and the beast was prepared to go. Rei used a specially developed stasis seal for living beings to stash it away. It was kinda anti-climatic and was a stark reminder to not be conceited even when one is almost immortal. One sneak attack. That's all that's needed to end your life.

Rei's shoulders slumped relaxedly as he tried to sense the battlefield. "Damn, I already lost two-thirds of my clones? Now that's surprisi-" Suddenly his body tensed again and he frowned as he slowly turned his head to the right and quickly stepped to the side with his eyes widening. Not a second later, a stream of highly pressurized water cut straight through the water dome Jutsu, almost hitting him as it sailed through the spot he earlier stood at, and then effortlessly cut through the other end of the water dome. Seeing that, Rei's eyes twitched as he instantly prepared for a battle. It didn't take long for his water dome to fall completely and he saw two salamanders. One was completely black with watery blue streaks on its skin and the other was dull-green.

These two were obviously special as he instantly recognized the difference that set them apart from other Salamanders he saw so far. They both had light-green eyeshadows and as Rei felt the energy around them, his frown widened. These two... knew senjutsu. His expression twisted into a minuscule scowl as he realized that his chakra hiding technique through the nature energy might have backfired since the two senjutsu users clearly could pinpoint him even amongst tens of his clones.

But it was not the time to ponder about that weakness. He instantly schooled his expression and smiled cheekily. "Isn't that a bit too dangerous welcome, geezers?" Rei quipped towards the ancient Salamanders who eyed him warily under the guise of senility. He wasn't about to underestimate them due to that though. "Huh, no answer?" Rei nodded to himself. "Guess you aren't the most eloquent of your species then!" He exclaimed and fought the urge to smirk as he saw his words had an effect on the two beasts.

(Cliff-kun :D)

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC64 - Ch64. Salamander Realm 2

The two salamanders glanced at each other and the one on the right side, the black one sighed. "Youngsters and their cheekiness." He said in an exasperated tone to which, the salamander on the left, the green one... shrugged? Rei wasn't sure what that shaking gesture was meant to be but it was apparently an agreement. The black salamander continued. "Well then, I am Elder Salam and the esteemed salamander next to me is Elder Mander. Now that we are here, your free-roaming through our caverns has come to an end intruder! We will show you the terror of offending Salam and Mander! Prepare for your Doom!" The one on the left... Elder Mander just again... shrugged, or better yet shook in agreement but stayed quiet. Rei expected the fight to begin so he crouched slightly, preparing for it as he quickened the flow of his chakra and reinforced his muscles... but the two geezers just motionlessly watched him.

After a minute of stare-off, Rei blinked in confusion, straightened up, and raised his eyebrow at them as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Uh... shouldn't you... I don't know, attack me?" He asked. He wanted them to do the first move as reacting would be better than charging in without knowing their way of fighting. It was then he noticed a slight smirk on Salam's maw.

"Oh, youngsters nowadays... so impatient! We already did our move! Kehehueheaha!" He laughed in a senile way. Rei instantly tensed up and discreetly looked around but was unable to find anything out of ordinary. And so the duo of salamanders and Rei stared at each other in awkward silence for a few more moments. As time passed, Rei watched as the 'eyebrows' of the beasts started to twitch. Salam suddenly turned to Mander and asked in an annoyed tone. "Oi, did you add Laman's wet socks into the recipe? How come the intruder is still standing!? That thing is more toxic than Hanzo's underwear!" Mander just shook in agreement but Rei wasn't feeling good when he heard the words 'recipe' and 'wet sock' and 'Hanzo's underwear'. His prospects for this battle were getting quite bleak if that's what they wanted to fight him with. He started looking around with mild disgust, his wariness increased by ten magnitudes when his eyes widened.

"Shit!" He started swaying on his feet and put his palm on his face, his vision blurring slightly. Only the timely input of nature energy into his system stopped him from feeling dizzy. "Salamanders equals poison." He quietly grumbled to himself, feeling indignant he didn't realize it sooner. "Go figure. The entire air is steeped in a special kind of undetectable poison..." Thankfully he kept his eyes on the salamanders. The second they saw Rei swaying, the two senile geezers as if evaporated and bloodlust filled the cavern and Rei barely managed to push himself to the side, evading another water jet that could cleave him into two pieces. He was about to recollect himself, only for his eyes to widen as Salamander Mander suddenly appeared in front of him and slammed his tail into his body, sending him flying. Only the wall of the cavern stopped his body, making him slid down onto his ass and groan in pain.

Rei didn't have time to take a breather as a water bullet, courtesy of Salam, impacted his abdomen, making him bend forward with a silent gasp, breaking a few of his ribs in the process. The poison still coursed through his body, numbing it so it was quite hard to move for him. Yet again, he wasn't given a breather as Mander appeared near him, his tail lashing onto Rei. He did the only thing he could in his battered state. He used Kawarimi and swapped places with his clone who was smashed into a watery pulp almost instantly. Rei wobbly stood up, holding his stomach in pain, and stared at the two senjutsu-using salamanders. He smiled slightly, even though his smile was broken and resembled more a grimace due to pain. "I must admit... you two have supreme teamwork." He wheezed out before chuckling. "But..." The second he said that both Salam and Mander tensed as they could feel a danger from his hunched up, hurt form.

Suddenly, Rei straightened up, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips while wincing slightly. "I also admit that in hindsight, Konan was right and storming the Salamander Realm by myself might have been a stupid idea." He clicked his tongue and took a deep breath. Neither Salam nor Mander felt at ease so they didn't leap at him to continue. Instead, both Salamanders could clearly feel the danger in the air and tensed as chakra started swirling around Rei. "You know what's funny?" Rei offhandedly asked as he started closing and opening his fist. "Nobody ever checks for chakra strings." He quipped and the chakra swirling around him went towards the floor and condensed into a massive amount of fine threads spreading outwards, dragging themselves on the ground. These then started connecting to an even wider system of threads that was spread through the cavern by the water clones right at the start of the battle. As the previously invisible chakra threads lit up, the entire ground of the Salamander Caverns looked like one big intricate web. This was Rei's trump card. Since day one, he didn't stop honing his chakra strings. It was his first usable skill, after all. But getting them combat-ready... now that was quite a chore.

Using the strings to defeat a chunin was nice and all but Rei was no longer playing in the casual league. Against jonins, the strings were most of the time useless and that was the actual reason why Suna was known for puppetry instead of chakra strings. Hence, Rei had to be... creative. The threads started to enwrap around Rei, forming a cocoon that completely covered his figure. For Salam and Mander it resembled something akin to evolving butterfly summon. Multiple thread endings loosely hung from the cocoon, like decorative strips.

"Salam," The ancient but quiet voice of Mander suddenly hurriedly exclaimed with a warning undertone. "Water Wall, fast!" Salam's eyes widened. He knew Mander was the better sensor amongst them and the Jutsu the human was about to unleash was quite powerful if it unnerved Mander so much! Salam slammed his front legs into the water-covered ground of the cavern, snapping a few chakra strings in the process as he pushed half of his chakra into them, getting assistance by Mander as they created quite similar Jutsu to the Water Dome of Rei. Three layers of water formed three domes around the cocoon. The Jutsu of Salam was more geared towards preventing escape so the inner walls were neigh-impenetrable while the outer ones were weaker.

While the two Elders busied themselves with protective layers, the salamanders finally finished dealing with Rei's clones and came to spectate their esteemed Elders dealing with the intruder.

All this took at most three seconds and inside the water Jutsu, the cocoon started changing. The strings started revolving around Rei's figure, creating a spectacle no different than Hyuuga's kaiten. Despite that, it didn't have the protective function of kaiten. Inside, Rei smirked. "Well, time to fire this party up." His chakra flared. The strings were now spinning at insane speeds, grinding against each other. All it took was a slight spark of katon and futon chakra, supported with nature energy.

Outside, Salam and Mender watched the water of their protections. "This should be enough." Salam said but Mander didn't answer. Suddenly, his body went rigid. Salam saw and...

Uncountable small crimson red droplets of condensed flames shattered the three layers of water domes as they went through it like a knife through butter. As the strings spun, the previously loosely hanging thread endings were now flying around in a swirling pattern. The second the cocoon lit up with the crimson fire, these flying endings created a whirlwind of a crimson whirlpool of fire, the sheer speed tearing apart droplets of it, showering the entire Salamander Realm with highly concentrated fire capable of burning even katon itself. These crimson flames were the direct opposite of Rei's blue suiton/katon flames. Their potency reached and slightly surpassed even blaze release. Their sole purpose was to 'kill it with fire', even if 'it' is the fire itself.

The salamanders were disorderly running around, trying to avoid the shower of crimson death. Many of them already died due to being stupidly brave and trying to block them with water jutsu only for the droplets to go through the Jutsu first, and the caster second. The walls of the caverns were burning and the ever-covered grounds with water were now dry. These flames could spread alongside the chakra strings and as the entire cavern was covered in Rei's strings... The ground flared up with crimson whirlpool as the web of strings became a burning death-trap.

Salam and Mander watched with horrified gazes as the fires started to engulf their Realm in its entirety, both pushing enormous amounts of senjutsu chakra to create a safe haven from flames on the ground and in the sky with their senjutsu-enhanced water Jutsu. As the minutes of the downpour of fire ticked away, the two Elders gathered around a hundred surviving salamanders in their water barrier, their hearts could only ache as they saw that those of their kin still outside were most likely already burned to death. Fortunately, they had enough strength to create a place safe from the crimson hell.

Thirty minutes. That's how long it took for the spinning to stop and Rei hummed in appreciation. He was not yet that proficient with the Jutsu and had to channel his chakra for a long time. He nevertheless stopped supplying chakra in the third minute and the spinning sustained the Jutsu for ten times as long. He made the cocoon open to witness the effects of his Jutsu with his eyes and as he did so, his jaw dropped to the floor. The cavern... was no more. Above him, a clear night sky was highlighted crimson as the hellish crimson flames still burned strong all around him.

Rei smiled. "Damn, that's way better than I thought. These flames will last at least for three days with the chakra I supplied." He shook his head but then winced, showing a bitter expression. "Shit, Konan will scold me! I have at least two broken ribs and six cracked ones with multiple torn muscles. The Mander did pack quite a punch...Tsunade could learn a lot from him." He said as his eyes turned to resigned sad gaze full of unwillingness as he used his seal to enter his dimension.

NovelIn Naruto: Reborn with TalentChapter 65 - Ch65. Gift For Tsunade

IN NARUTO: REBORN WITH TALENTC65 - Ch65. Gift For Tsunade

Rei appeared in his dimension and the first sight that greeted him was Tsunade and Konan in their underwear and apron kneeling in the front hall, both showing excitement. This excitement however quickly fell as they noticed his mangled, clearly quite injured form. He watched Tsunade's face morph from happy and teasing one into a worry-stricken horror-filled one as she noticed his expression twisted in pain. She instantly jumped towards him and started to go over his body with her diagnostic jutsu, her eyes teary. It was then that Rei remembered that in anime, she was a very 'unstable' woman due to the death of her clan, brother, and then lover. 'Maybe I should try to avoid being injured...' Rei thought as he felt Tsunade biting her lower lip while intently healing his ribs with her medical Jutsu. His eyes turned to Konan and... he rather turned back to Tsunade. He was too ashamed to face her right now after so many reassurances that it will be alright and he would face no danger...

"You underestimated them." Konan said in an exasperated tone to which Rei could only awkwardly chuckle. "Why did I expect this to go differently." Konan huffed, giving Rei a piercing look. "As of now, I forbid you to charge into danger without me by your side! At least one of us has to be the voice of reason!" Konan exclaimed. "Now, you will eat the food I and Tsunade painstakingly prepared. You will take a bath with us. You will then cuddle with us and you will go to sleep to recuperate your injuries. As much trust as I have in Tsunade's skills, I want you to get proper rest. You are a mess! I don't think I ever saw you quite so injured!" Seeing Rei's mouth open in protest, Konan strongly added, her hands on her hips. "End of discussion."

"Yes, dear." Rei lowered his head, making Konan's eyes soften. He then sighed and continued in a grumbling tone as he crossed his arms. "Never in my wildest dreams would I think that senjutsu would pack quite such a punch. It must have enhanced taijutsu at least by the factor of five! I felt as if a truck hit me." Rei said, making both Tsunade and Konan look at each other, neither knowing what 'truck' was but they both decided it had to be a fearsome monster if Rei thought it hit so hard. Rei then smiled. "But... I've got it." He took a stasis scroll out of his pocket, showing it to Tsunade. "Tsu, this is my gift for you and I am pretty sure it will help you to improve your Creation Rebirth. I really hope this will help you get rid of the need for burning your own life span." He said with a smile to her.

Tsunade didn't take it, her hands still busying themselves with Rei's wounds. For her, he was the priority right now. Whatever that scroll held could wait. Rei just chuckled as he saw the interest in her eyes despite her not taking it. She was a medic first and foremost so anything that could help her improve her craft was greatly intriguing for her. That's why Rei chose to get the Axolotl for her despite the danger. He thought his self-storage seal would be enough as insurance but he was apparently wrong. He was still quite weak when it came to more experienced 'legendary' fighters it seemed. An oversight he would definitely correct at a later date.

After he was healed, he listened to Konan's demands... she was right, he needed to recuperate and fast. They still had a mission to complete.

...

The next day, the trio was in the clearing in front of their house. Tsunade held the still sealed stasis scroll, expectantly looking at it while her expression was akin to a child during Christmas eve. She was almost glowing from curiosity and Rei enjoyed the sight very much. It was far from the bitter old hag in the anime and it brought his heart untold joy that he could transform... 'that' into the happy, excited, and carefree girl in front of him. Tsunade turned to him after she was done eyeing the scroll and while almost bouncing, she asked him. "What is it?"

Rei chuckled. "Why don't you open it and see for yourself?" He said and held back after her lips turned into a small pout. Konan just sat next to Rei on the blanket and was preparing the picnic basket she brought with her. She knew what was in the scroll and knew it would probably be important to Tsunade but since she wasn't very medical savvy, it didn't matter to her.

Tsunade decided to open the scroll and instantly, a huge salamander popped out of it. She looked at it a bit skeptically and then turned to Rei with a deadpan look. "It's a... salamander? Really?" She eyed Rei, not amused at all.

"Don't give me that look." Rei calmly coaxed. "It is a salamander with an even bigger healing factor than you when using Creation Rebirth." He told her and she snapped her head back onto the unconscious beast, her eyes instantly started sparkling while morphing into... something Rei thought he would only see on Jiraya's face when perving on women or Orochimaru's when perving on boys. 'Damn... she is indeed one of the three Sannin!' Rei was inwardly freaking out at the gaze she was giving the beast. He decided to be far, far away when she plays with it. Just to be sure.

Konan chuckled and leaned closer to Rei. "You are hoping Tsunade will be too preoccupied with her new experiments to miss us jumping into that trap, aren't you?" She whispered knowingly, earning herself an admitting gaze from Rei as he shrugged. He had no intention of letting Tsunade butt in into their mission and definitely didn't want her to worry. He leaned even closer to Konan and tenderly claimed her lips. They kissed for a moment and when they separated Rei softly smiled.

"Will you keep that a secret for me?" He asked and Konan dazedly nodded with a bit of a blush on her cheeks as she bashfully turned around, busying herself with preparing the food. After that, they both watched Tsunade testing the healing factor of the beast with sparkling eyes as the blood squirted everywhere. "Damn..." Rei winced. "I am really glad I had the foresight to keep the beast in unconsciousness." He dryly stated, making Konan deadpan at him.

"Yeah... but these seals must have been quite something since even having its head open didn't wake it up." She said.

Before Rei could answer, Tsunade shouted at him. "Thank you!" She quickly approached them and embraced Rei tightly. "With this, I will be able to not only perfect my Creation Rebirth but also my strengthening technique!" She elatedly said. "Now... more tests!" She almost squealed, released Rei, and skipped back towards the salamander without even glancing at the food Konan prepared for her.

That afternoon was one of the most traumatizing experiences both Rei and Konan ever went through. They learned a lot! They learned that with a high regeneration factor, it is hard to die due to blood loss. They learned that regrowth of the salamander's limbs lasts approximately 1.66s when stimulated with nature energy. They learned that opening someone's head is indeed as disgusting as it sounds... To be honest, they decided to never again be present when Tsunade is having her 'fun'.
