The Emperor KageChapter 5: One month's training
Katsu's POV.
Oh boy! My month to train starts now… but what should I improve myself on? Maybe I could train with Akemi! Yeah! I think that's a great idea!
Grabbing my gear, I ran over to her hotel and starting knocking on her door. She opened the door and asked me, "Oni-chan? What do you want?"
"Akemi! Let's train together!" I said.
"Sure! But who'll be our sparring partners?" She asked me.
"Well…we could Sakura and Ino to help with our training program after all Chouji is helping Asuma, Sasuke is being trained by Kakashi, Kiba and Hinata is helping Shino and Tenten is currently throwing trash at Neji…" I said.
"Great! But if I train, will you bring me on another shopping spree?" She asked me with an irresistible smile.
"Akemi… we need to train not shop till you drop!" I said in a firm voice thought I am still trying hard to resist that smile of hers.
"But I promise to train really hard!" She said this time giving me those soulful eyes A.K.A. puppy eyes.
"Okay okay! You win! Just train hard and I promise to bring you on a shopping spree…" I said giving up to the awesome might of the puppy eyes. Damn, that smile and eyes really run along in the family… kaa-sama has it, my 5 onee-sama also has it! I wonder whether tou-sama has ever resisted it before but if you ask me… I don't think so.
Scene change. Some part of Konoha.
"Eh? You want us to train with you!" Ino said in surprise.
"Yeah! oni-chan wants you two to be our sparring partners!" Akemi said.
"I don't mind but what do we get in return?" Sakura asked.
"Hee hee, oni-Chan agreed to bring me on another shopping spree so I guess you two could tag along…"
"OI! I only said I would bring you but not the other two!" I said.
"Please oni-chan…" Akemi said, yet again giving me that powerful puppy eyes, God's gift to women.
"Okay okay… you win yet again…" I sighed.
"Yaaaaaattaaaa!" the girls cheered.
And so during the first week, I trained my chakra control by water walking and tree climbing. I also helped to train Akemi's taijutsu by asking Sakura and Ino to spar with her. I also help to improve Sakura and Ino's taijutsu by getting both of them to spar with me and helping them to correct their style.
At the end of the week I had to keep my fair share of the bargain and bring them on a shopping spree. While shopping Sakura decided to start a conversion by saying "Katsu-kun, if you're the crown prince why don't you let others call you Katsu-sama or goshojin-sama?"
I looked at Sakura and then I replied "Because I hate formalities, didn't I say that before?"
"So do you have any girlfriends?" Ino asked with a sly grin on her face.
"Yeah now I that remember, oni-chan, who is your this?" when saying 'this' Akemi raised out her 'pinky'.
I swore my face turned red at that question but I replied "Nahhhh, I don't have any girlfriends!"
Akemi then stared at me and asked with a sly grin "Really?"
Even Sakura was looking at me for an answer.
"Yep! I haven't had a girlfriend yet! Not one so far!" I said.
"That's weird, I thought people like you tend to attract a lot of girls around him." Sakura said.
"Tell that to Akemi! You should have seen how many guys were staring at her every time she walked by the classes back in the academy!" I said.
"That because Akemi is a princess and not to mention, she is just so cute!" Ino said.
"That's sound like Sasuke, only thing is that he is an Uchiha and he has feminine looks making him look 'hot' thus making him a girl magnet." I said with a grin thinking back to the time when I masqueraded as an exchange student.
At this point both Sakura and Ino blushed while Akemi giggled.
Shortly after the shopping spree, I went to the hospital to visit Rock Lee, the unfortunate taijutsu dude you got his limbs crushed by Gaara. I swear, that Gaara sure is different… just like Naruto, both of them have weird chakra signatures. Demonic in nature they are. So unlike mine. Oops I think I just said something I should not.
I entered his room and the doctor there said, "I am sorry but you aren't allowed to visit Rock Lee." I looked at the doctor and took out my medic-nin license. The doctor stared at me and said, "You were trained by Tsunade-sama!"
"Yeah I am here to inspect on Lee," I said and then I proceeded with the examination. "Hmm, I can only heal his crushed limbs…but there are multiple bone fragments embedded deep within an important nerve system. Now that, I alone cannot do it but I would require the help of Tsunade-sensei." With that I then healed Rock Lee's arm and leg and left the room feeling guilty for I could not heal him completely.
Wow now there's less than 2 weeks to the finals. I decided to let Akemi train on her own with Sakura and Ino. I decided to head to waterfalls to think up of a way to heal Rock Lee. Waterfalls always calms me down and gives me great inspirations. I was walking along the path when I heard a loud "Kuchiyose no jutsu!" followed by a loud explosion.
I ran in that direction and I saw Naruto looking disappointedly a tadpole on the ground. Behind him was a man with loud white hair looking at the bushes.
"OI! Naruto!" I shouted out to him. Naruto looked at my direction and yelled back, "Katsu! What are you doing here?"
"Me? I am on my way to the waterfalls and who is that guy?" I said pointing at the man sniggering away.
"OI! STOP YOUR PEEPING ERO-SENNIN!" Naruto shouted in the man's ear.
The man turned around and yelled back "Stop calling me that!"
I instantly recognised the man as Jiraiya one of the legendary 3 ninjas.
"Jiraiya-sensei?" I asked.
"Your highness!" Jiraiya replied me in a shocked tone.
"Jiraiya-sensei? Katsu-kun, you know this pervert?" Naruto asked me.
"Know him? He taught me! And now he is teaching you? This is interesting!" I replied.
"Yeah and this untalented dobe here cannot even summon a decent size frog for me to see!" Jiraiya said in an annoyed voice.
"Chill out sensei! He has too much chakra thus making it tougher to mould chakra." I said.
"Eh? Katsu-kun, you can summon too?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah! Only difference is that I summon dragons!" I said proudly.
"Dragons? Cool… so is there a scroll or anything, because I am really starting to hate frogs." Naruto said thus earning him a glare from Jiraiya.
"Nah there is not contract scroll, it's more of an affinity," I replied "But frogs are cool too. The fourth hokage used frogs."
"Naruto! Back to practise! Katsu-sama, I have to talk with you."
So while Naruto went back to practise summoning, Jiraiya started talking with me.
"Katsu-sama, have you been able to control 'him'?"
"Hey! Stop with the formalities and don't you worry! 'He' is not a youkai."
"But still 'He' is a powerful entity and…"
"Jiraiya-sensei, don't worry! He is after all a sacred creature."
With that our conversation ended, and I then headed to the waterfalls to figure a way to cure Lee. But then again, why do I feel that something bad is going to happen to Konoha?
And that's all for this chapter! Sorry if I updated late but I just had to think a little more on what to write. Thank you to all who took the time to read this!
