Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:

Fenrir44: Hmm, I can probably use that later on when I begin to really delve into Pītā's backstory.

DarkJoey: I like some anime shows, not all but a few.

High-Wolf-King: Pītā won't be from any sort of ninja clan, he's just a kid that was picked to be the host for the Rokubi because he was the most compatible in Kiri at the time. Ehh something like that will happen in this story. Hinata, Ayame and Temari are still too young for Pītā, they'd have to be at least their Shippuden ages before I'd consider it. As for the rest of the women picked, some of them can work, others maybe not so much.

Great Saiyaman54: No, by this point Naruto is already at that point of no return. Hate to say it, but Naruto is ironically about to give the village a whole new reason to hate him even more. There's gonna be more than just trust and respect that goes into a Jinchūriki being able to use their Biju's power. No Naruto and Hinata will not be in a relationship in this story. Yes, his spider powers are a result of being the Jinchūriki of this story's Rokubi. Yes, Pītā will meet Gaara in this story, multiple times in fact.

Demon in da sack: Who would be considered MILFS?

Jason Chandler: I did, so far it's entertaining.

Axel Uzumaki: Well this Rokubi is capable of creating a variety of web substances based of some of the variants Spider-man uses in the comics like acid webs, incendiary webs, webs with powerful electrical currents, magnetic webbing and the like along with potent spider and scorpion venom, and the proportional strength of a spider its size. No Utakata was Pītā's predecessor as the Jinchūriki of the Rokubi but he was crippled beyond help during the Third Great Shinobi war, which in turn caused Kiri to extract the Rokubi from him and place her in Pītā.

CRUDEN: I like the Eight tails in the anime as is, besides out off all of the Biju, the Six tails seemed the must underwhelming, I mean a giant Slug? Not very intimidating when compared to some of the other Biju like a lava controlling gorilla, a giant fox, or a giant demonic looking cat made of fire.

funnyman5032: Well it was either Orochimaru or Danzo and I figured that having his first teacher be the traitorous snake would open up some interesting paths to explore later on. No, all his spider-based powers are from his Biju, but Orochimaru may have taken a few genetic samples of Pītā for 'research purposes on Jinchūriki'.

Evoultion: No, Kushina in this story will have a far different reason to go ballistic on Pītā, granted it has to do with Naruto but it's not because he's sort of training him.

Mcleanbryce7: Yeah there will be more Spider-man anime crossovers in the future, one of which is a Highschool DXD crossover.

Bobwhy: I never said or hinted that Kushina abandoned Naruto at any point. From the looks of it, Kushina being the Jinchūriki to the Kyūbi wasn't public knowledge, so she never had to go through the kind of crap that Naruto did, both in canon and in this story's canon, so I'm not sure how she'd be able to relate to him other than saying yeah, she had a Biju in her at one point. Pītā was 16 when he was brought to Konoha from the Kiri training facility. Reason why no one caught on that Pītā is a Jinchūriki is because he didn't go around announcing that he was one, all he had to do is look at Naruto's predicament to remind himself to keep quiet and any powers he had from the Robuki, others chalked it up from Orochimaru's doing when he was the boy's teacher and Pītā never corrected them. Plus no one had any reason to suspect him of being a Jinchūriki and the Hokage and the Elders made sure that any info like that gets buried before it spreads too far, it wouldn't do well for Konoha if it was discovered that they took another village's Jinchūriki, especially in the state they were in after the Kyūbi attack. Kushina had been 'dead' a good year before Pītā ever came to Konoha. Anko's around, doing whatever it is she does in her downtime. Pītā was never experimented on by Orochimaru in the same way Anko and others were by him, mainly because Orochimaru wouldn't have been able to pull it off, Pītā was under careful watch in the first few years he was in Konoha and even then, Orochimaru didn't want to risk triggering some sort of defensive response from the Robuki like trying to place his Curse mark on him. Tsunade could work, plus that Uzumaki heritage had to come in hand somehow aside from possibly making her good at fūinjutsu. Might even explain how Tsunade could still fight like she was almost in her prime despite her age and how she could survive being stabbed in the chest, fighting Madara, and pushing her body to the extreme during the Pein invasion arc. Anko's reasoning seems good and reasonable, the two every once in a while, get together and reminisce before comparing ways to kill their former teacher. Mei, it can be more like showing Pītā that there's still some good in Kiri despite all the horror's he's seen and experienced during the Kiri Civil War/Bloodline purges. Kushina might be a tad bit more difficult, particularly with what I'll be having Pītā doing later in the story that involves her, Naruto and Uzushiogakure.

Guest47: Never really got into One Piece, watched it occasionally but I find it confusing sometimes. Plus the light heartedness of it sometimes got on my nerves, I don't see it as a bad thing but more of hard to take seriously, I kinda prefer my anime to have a dark, mature undertone to it.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Marvel or Naruto characters seen, mentioned or used.


Pītā was confused at the moment, well he's been confused for some time now but right now, this was the most confused he's ever been since he and his friend Yagura, were taken to a strange facility along the northern shores of Land of Water.

The reason for this confusion was because the Mizukage, the man that personally brought Pītā and Yagura to this place, had returned from Kirigakure to check in on them after being away for several weeks. Now that wasn't odd in of itself, what was odd to the two boys was how different the Mizukage had become since then. Before he was a kind and friendly man, that while a little biased against Kekkei Genkai users, never let it affect his decision making. But now… now he seemed angry, on edge for the lack of a better term.

"Keep up boys" the Mizukage growled out, dragging Pītā out of his thoughts.

"S-Sorry Mizukage-sama" Yagura said in a slightly unnerved voice, between him and Pītā, he was the most put off by the sudden change in their father figure's personality.

The Mizukage stopped and glanced back at Yagura with a scowl, causing the young boy to flinch as he spoke "Is there a problem Yagura?"

"N-No sir…" Yagura said as he shivered at the dark eyes of his village's leader.

The Mizukage grunted at that before he turned his unwavering stare to Pītā who on a instinctual level froze up under the elder man's gaze "What about you Pītā, do you think there's a problem?"

Pītā shook his head with wide eyes, too afraid to speak or risk somehow setting the man off.

The Mizukage eyed both Jinchūriki with narrowed eyes before he shook his head and gestured for them to keep following him deeper into the facility, through halls and down levels that both Yagura and Pītā never knew were there. After several minutes, the trio finally arrived at a large metal door with various seals on it that neither of the young Jinchūriki could hope to begin to understand. The door was guarded by two Kiri ANBU that were clad in a black armored variant of the standard ANBU uniform. The two nodded at the Mizukage as they wordlessly turned towards the massive door and pressed their hands on the metal. The result was the symbols glowing an ominous blue as they began to move across the metal surface while the sounds of the doors inner mechanisms began to move.

Yagura looked at the massive door as it slowly opened nervously before he glanced at his fellow Jinchūriki with fearful eyes "P-Pītā… what's happening?"

"I don't know…" Pītā said as he watched as the door swung open before them.

The Mizukage then turned towards the two boys and gestured for them to enter the massive room inside. Pītā and Yagura both exchanged nervous looks as they slowly passed their Kage and entered the room to see that it's walls, ceiling and floor were covered in a wide array of seals. Before either boy could question the Mizukage about them, the door slammed shut with enough force to shake the room and caused the two young boys to jump in surprise.

"M-Mizukage-sama?" Pītā said nervously as he approached the door and knocked on it "Mizukage-sama, did we… did we do something bad?"

He received no answer as he stood before the door before Yagura spoke in a low, timid voice.

"P-Pītā, there's… there's something coming out of the vents" the young boy said as he pointed towards an air vent that was spewing out some sort of red mist.

Pītā felt something beginning to tingle at the base of his skull, a feeling he's long since associated with a warning to something harmful to him or someone he's close to.

"Yagura, get away from it!" Pītā said before he began to frantically knock on the locked door with as much strength he could muster which while a lot, particularly for someone has small and as young as him, it did nothing to even so much as budge the massive door "Mizukage-sama!"

Yagura swallowed nervously as he eyed the approaching red mist before he steeled his resolve and formed a series of hand signs before he took a deep breath and shot out a powerful gust of wind. The Futon jutsu dissipated the red mist and caused it to linger back and even damaged the air vent it was coming out of to the point that it stopped, causing him to sigh in relief.

"I think it's stopped"

Pītā paused in his knocking, mainly because his hands were starting to hurt as he turned towards his friend and then towards the damaged air vent. Before he could congratulate Yagura, several more air vents suddenly opened out of the ceiling and began to pump more of the red mist into the room, causing the tingling that Pītā was feeling to skyrocket to the point his head began to hurt.

Pītā and Yagura both stared at one another in terror as the room began to fill with the odd red mist. The Robuki Jinchūriki's eyes narrowed in confusion as he sniffed the mist and realized that it had an odd copper smell to it and caused him to nearly stumble as he was hit with a wave of sudden nausea. Before he could figure how or why this gas was being pumped into this room, Yagura fell to his knees, clutching his stomach as his face contorted in pain.

"Yagura?" Pītā said worriedly as he took a step closer to his friend before he stopped dead in his tracks as Yagura glanced up at him with dark glowing red eyes.

Pītā's eyes widened even further when the red chakra cloak of the Sanabi began to grow around Yagura and took on the vague shape of a turtle as he stood up with a dark growl. Pītā swallowed nervously as he spoke in a scared voice.

"Y-Yagura…?"

His call was met with a dark growl from the smaller boy before the voice of the Mizukage echoed through the room over the intercom.

"Begin…"

And with that, Yagura launched himself at Pītā as the boy felt his own vision beginning to darken as the familiar feel of the Robuki's chakra rushed through his body.

Pītā's eyes suddenly shot open and he found himself staring up at the dry walled ceiling of Kurenai's apartment rather than the enraged berserking frenzy of Yagura's face…

A light moan from Pītā's left caused him to glance over to see Kurenai still asleep, a look of content on her face as she snuggled into her pillow more. He carefully and silently, got up and sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed the back of his neck as he tired to control his rapid heartbeat.

'Haven't had that dream in a while…' Pītā thought as he stood up and slowly made his way into Kurenai's bathroom and closed the door and switched on the light and let out a shaky breath as he stared at his reflection for a few moments.

After seeing nothing out of the ordinary with it, not that he was expecting to, he switched on the faucet and waited for the water to cool enough to his liking before he cupped a small amount in his hands and splashed it across his face. He repeated the process a few times before he switched it off and simply stood there and rested his hands against the marble counter and let out a relived sigh as he felt his uneasiness from the nightmare slowly fade away. It was than that he realized that the door to the bathroom was open and the doorway occupied by an awoken but still very naked Kurenai.

Pītā turned towards the raven-haired beauty and gave her a sheepish smile "Sorry for waking you"

"It's fine…" she said with a smile as she approached Pītā with a sway in her hips before she wrapped her arms around his neck "I was still somewhat awake anyway"

"Really?" Pītā said with a quirked brow.

"Yes, really" Kurenai giggled as she lifted a leg up and wrapped it around Pītā's waist and pulled herself closer to him, causing them to both moan at the feeling "Unlike some women, I find it hard to fall asleep with such a sore vagina like the one you left me with"

Pītā blinked at that "Huh… not sure if that's a compliment or not"

"It's supposed to be" the Genjutsu mistress said with a sheepish grin "Though maybe I should find a better way to word it"

"I don't think there is any way to word something like that" Pītā chuckled as he rested his hands on Kurenai's hips "Other than saying, it was amazing… or spectacular"

"Maybe" she agreed with a grin before she frowned a little "Are you okay? I noticed that your dreams seemed less than… pleasant"

"Just old memories cropping up" Pītā said with a casual shrug "It's more of the suddenness of them then the actual dreams themselves that rattle me"

"Your time in ANBU?" she asked.

"Sort of" Pītā said before he cleared his throat "It's uh, complicated"

"How complicated?" Kurenai asked with curiosity.

Pītā grinned a little as he felt his hardened member press against Kuernai's lower stomach, causing her to shudder "Like trying to understand Gai's ability to be so 'youthful' kind of complicated"

"Mmmm, that is… complicated" Kurenai said as she let out another moan as Pītā's lips found their way to her neck and began to leave a series of trails down to her collar bone. She grabbed him by the back of his head and brought him up into a deep kiss before she pulled back from the man and slinked her way around him and towards the shower. She threw a grin over her shoulder as she switched on the water "Care to join me?"

Pītā blinked at her for several seconds before he nodded "Uhhh yeah!"

Kurenai let out another giggle as she stepped into the warm watery spray before she was joined by a very eager Pītā.

The genjutsu mistress let out a moan as Pītā pulled her into him, her back pressed tightly against his chest, while his hardened cock pressed against her ass. Kurenai turned her head and captured Pītā's lips with her own as he pulled them back so the water from the shower head would spray Kurenai's entire front while he had his hands reach around and grip her sensitive tits, pinching each nipple lightly. Kurenai responded by starting to grind her rear into Pītā's front, her ass sliding up and down his member with ease thanks to the water washing down her back. After a few moments, Kurenia broke her kiss with Pītā as he bent down a little and nibbled on her ear.

"Mmm, mind passing the soap?" he whispered into her ear as he pinched her nipples again.

Kurenai cracked an eye open and scanned her shower for the bar of soap she usually kept in it and saw that it was on a small little ledge built into the wall of her shower. She reached for the little white bar and grabbed it before pulling it under the water before she rested it against the top of her breast and let the soap begin to trickle down her front. One of Pītā's hands released her breast and rested on the red eyed beauty's own hand as she dragged the soap over her upper chest and neck before it began to slide down her torso and to her navel. Kurenai bit her lip as Pītā began to attack her neck with his tongue while one hand continued to play with her erect nipple and the other dragged its way across her soapy skin and down to her pussy.

"Ooh, yeeeees…" Kurenai moaned as one of Pītā's fingers slid down to her clitoris and began to lightly stroke it.

Kurenai dropped the soap in her hand, allowing it to fall to the ground and slowly slide towards the drain and had her now free hand join Pītā's in stimulating her clit. She bit her lip as he used a bit of chakra to stick the end of his finger to the bundle of nerve endings and pulled slightly before releasing his hold, causing her to gasp.

"You like that?" Pītā whispered into her ear as he raised the finger he toyed with her clitoris and dragged it across Kureani's lips.

"Mmm, yes…" Kurenai moaned as she seized Pītā's finger with her mouth, sucking on the appendage before using her teeth to lightly bite down on the digit when he tired to pull it out of her mouth.

Pītā seemed to notice this and smirked as he released her breast with his remaining hand and reached down to the red eyed Kunoichi's pussy and slowly inserted a finger into the tight passage. The result was Kurenai letting out a gasp, allowing him to remove his finger before she could grab it and rested his hand on her hip. She pushed back into his pelvis some more before he turned her towards the wall and placed his hand on the middle of her back.

Kurenai let out a shiver as Pītā bent her forward, causing her to place her hands on the cool marble wall of her shower as one of Pītā's hands gripped her waist while his other aligned his cock with her pussy and began to slowly insert it into to her tight love canal again.

"By the grace of the Rikudō Sennin!" Kurenai moaned, her toes curling as Pītā moved deeper and deeper inside her until he finally hit her cervix.

Pītā kept one grip on Kurenai's hip as he had his other hand trail up the side of her body, briefly stopping to cup her breast before he gripped her by the shoulder. The raven-haired woman moaned as Pītā pull back until only the tip of his cock was inside her and then thrusted back into her. The result was Kurenai letting out an even louder moan as Pītā repeated the process again, and again until he began to set a steady rhythm.

"Mmm, yes…. ooh yes, right there…. Ah!" Kurenai panted as Pītā's pelvis collided with her ass as the warm water of the shower slipped in between what space was available.

Pītā for the most part expressed his pleasure of the connection with a series of grunts and low growls as he thrusted in and out of the woman before him. His grip on her should allowed Pītā to pull her back harder against himself while his other hand roamed her wet body, occasionally cupping her breasts or moving down to their union and toying with her twat before he eventually settled with resting his hand on her other shoulder and began to pull thrust himself into her even harder than before.

Kurenai's eyes widened at this as the force of his thrusts increased and he began to hit her G-spot more often "Oh yes, yes… yes right there don't stop!"

Pītā grunted at her words as he continued to pound into the woman while the bathroom continued to fill with steam from the warm water pouring from the shower head. Neither seemed to notice or care, their attention was on one another and the pleasure they can inflict upon the other.

After several moments, and at least one orgasm that caused Kurenai's legs to nearly buckle, she stood up right and pushed back at Pītā until his back was against the clouded glass of her shower. She peeked over her shoulder at the man with a smirk as she began to rotate her hips in a series of circles. Pītā let out a groan as he rested his hands on Kurenai's hips while she moved them in a circular motion, first clockwise, then counter clockwise before she settled on something akin to twerking.

Pītā's gaze remained fix on her ass, the way the water moved across the toned surface. He felt his mouth watering at the sight of her rear bouncing up and down his pole and briefly wondered if she'd let him have access to her ass.

'That's probably asking a little too much at the moment...' Pītā thought as he gave Kurenai's right ass cheek a light slap that caused her to yelp, more in surprise then pain.

Kurenai for the most part was having the time of her life, after her breakup with Asuma, she feared that her once very active sex life would slow to a near crawl if not outright end. Before she and Asuma began to date mere months before the Kyūbi attack, Kurenai's track record when it came to dates was… well Kushina once jokingly claimed it rivaled Tsunade's skill at gambling.

Which meat she sucked… big time.

'Here's hoping my luck starts to make a turn for the best' she thought as she ceased in her actions and pressed her back against Pītā's chest and reached behind her until she gripped the man by the back of his head and pulled him into a steamy kiss. Pītā responded by having his tongue penetrate through her lips and into her mouth and began to map it out before she forced his back with her own equally skilled tongue. Minutes passed as Pītā groped Kurenai while trying to orally dominate her before Kurenai began to use her vaginal muscles to massage his member.

The result caused Pītā to growl into the kiss as he began to thrust into Kurenai's snatch again which in turn caused the raven-haired beauty to break the kiss and let out a throaty moan as he began to hammer into her.

She turned around and rested her hands on her knees as Pītā pounded into her without restraint, causing her moans to quickly turn into screams as he began to assault her sensitive pussy with the ferocity of an animal. Had she been looking at his eyes, she would have noticed that they slowly turned from a warm brown color to something slightly darker, almost black.

"Oh fuck, oh fuck, I'm gonna cum, I'm gonna cum" Kurenai chanted as she tired to keep herself upright.

"NGH! I know, I can feel it" Pītā gritted out as he felt Kurenai's grip on his cock increase "Fuck, I'm gonna cum at this rate"

For a moment, Pītā wasn't sure she heard him given how lost in pleasure she seemed before she suddenly slammed her back into his chest and began to meet his thrusts with as much force as she could in her position.

"L-Let me know…" she whispered n between pants and moans "I'll… I'll l-let you finish in my mouth"

Pītā couldn't help but smirk at that as he leaned in and whispered into her ear "Not inside you?"

"N-Not… on a first d-date" she replied with a tired smirk before Pītā bent her back over and hammered into her snatch with renewed vigor.

That was all she needed to finally achieve her orgasm "Ohhh fuuuuuck!"

Watching and feeling Kurenai reach her own end causing Pītā to double his efforts as he hammered into the beautiful Kunoichi. He felt his balls tightening with each thrust into the mewing beauty before him and just as it felt like he was about to unleash his load deep into her pussy, he pulled her off him and turned her around and pushed her to her knees. She stared up at him in surprise before she saw him stroking his cock with his hand at a frantic pace. She quickly realized that he was about to cum and immediately opened her mouth just in time for him to ejaculate his sperm into her mouth. Pītā let out a groan as he shot off his load into Kurenai's mouth, her tongue extended out to help capture some of his seed while some hit her cheek and began to drip down her face and towards her neck and eventually settle on her heaving tits.

"Fuck…" Pītā breathed out as his streams of cum slowed before stopping completely, allowing Kuernai to gather up what was in her mouth and began to swish it back in forth, savoring the taste before she opened her mouth up towards the man to show before she made a very obvious and erotic display of swallowing it in a manner that would leave a prostitute blushing.

"Mmm, tasty…" she teased as she gave his mushroom shaped head a kiss before she took it into her mouth and began to bob her head back and forth.

"Glad you liked it…" Pītā said as he let out a sigh and rested against the glass as Kurenai continued to suck on his still hardned member, what cum that landed on her tits being washed away by the spray of the shower.

After she drained all that she could from the sensitive cock before her, Kurenai stood up and then wrapped her arms around Pītā's neck before she jumped on to the man, wrapping her legs around his hips.

"Ready for another round before I have to go meet my team?" Kurenai asked with a wink as his cock pressed against her slit, just one movement from either from penetrating her again.

"Wait, quick question" Pītā said as he adjusted his grip on Kurenai's hips as he pressed her against the wall, her back touching the wet but cool surface and caused her to shiver in his grip as he slowly inserted himself into her again.

"What?" she asked as she brushed some of her hair out of the way and gazed up at Pītā with half lidded eyes as he adjusted his grip on her again in preparation for his thrusting.

"When do you have to meet your Genin team?" the former ANBU operative asked as he glanced out the bathroom window to see that the sky was starting to slowly brighten outside.

At this, the Genjutsu mistress smirked as she used her vaginal walls to squeeze Pītā's cock, causing him to shudder before he buried his face into her neck, licking at the wet, warm flesh which in turn caused her to moan "N-Not for a few more… hours… ahh!"

And that was the last coherent words spoken between the two before they resumed their rutting…

Several hours later, a clean albeit exhausted Pītā slowly made his way through the bustling streets of Konoha as the sun rose to mid-day. He ran a hand through his still damp hair as he navigated his way back to his home, intent on changing out of his gear for some more relaxing clothes to spend the rest of the afternoon in. While his current attire was comfortable, it drew too much attention with it's dark coloring and unique and mysterious design.

Or as his friend Anko once put it, freaky and gives you the sudden urge to lock your doors after meeting him at night.

'Like she's one to talk about being freaky looking, hell I'm more normal looking compared to some of the people in this place' Pītā thought with an eye roll as he passed a few trading stands, selling a host of fabrics, artwork, and pottery from the Land's of Demons.

He paused briefly to study one painting that displayed an ancient battle between the Nanabi and what looked to be the Hachibi amidst a burning city. He quirked a brow at the scene, wondering what the seller was smoking to want to sell something decrypting that in this village of all places before he looked for a price tag and frowned at the number shown.

'Wow… that's pretty freakin expensive for a painting. I'd need to complete three 'A' ranked missions to be able to afford that!' Pītā thought as he backed away from the painting and continued on his way.

It was then a dark feminine voice echoed through Pītā's mind 'You humans do love placing such value on such trivial things…'

Pītā shrugged at the Robuki's statement 'What can I say, humans are greedy'

'Don't I and my fellow Biju know it' the six-tailed spider hissed before it faded back into Pītā's mind.

"Oh right… sorry" Pītā chuckled a little sheepishly as he began to approach his home.

It wasn't much, his house, only a single story with a bathroom, two bedrooms, one of which was his and a small kitchen that merged with the living room and dining room that was decorated in a manner that was similar to what's seen in the Land of Water.

The outside of his home had a small front yard that used to be covered in weeds and vines until Kurenai's team cleaned it up. The backyard was twice the size of the front and had a small pond and two small trees, one of which always seemed to be infested with spiders for some weird unknown reason.

'Hmmm, maybe it's the fruit that grow in the tree, they are pretty tasty' Pītā thought as he arrived at his front door and was about to open it before he ever so faintly sensed the briefest surge of chakra… from a Biju.

Pītā's eyes narrowed as he slowly turned towards the source of the Biju chakra 'It's coming from the training fields'

Pītā stood there for several moments before he suddenly moved in a silent blur that could rival the likes of Gai without his weights on. It didn't take him long to arrive at the source of the Biju chakra, little as it was, at Team Seven's current training ground. Which left only one culprit…

'Kinda brave for him to be testing himself with the Kyūbi's chakra… either that, or he's confident that noting will happen with what very little he is using' Pītā thought as he came to a stop at the edge of the tree line that overlooked the training field's largest clearing.

On one side was a large and deep river that offered a terrific view of the distant mountain range that boarders Konoha, a few meters away from the river laid the infamous three wooden stumps that a number of hopeful and even fully fledge Shinobi have found themselves tied to, across from that was the Memorial Stone, one of a few Kunai shaped polished stone slabs scattered throughout the village that was lined with the names of numerous Konoha shinobi that died in the Third Great Shinobi World War.

And in the middle of the field stood Naruto Uzumaki, the current Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Kitsune. Pītā remained where he was as he watched the boy hold out his hand, a look of concentration etched on his face as he gathered chakra in his outstretched palm.

'What's he trying-' Pītā began to think before he saw the apparent dead last of his current generation form a rotating sphere of blue chakra in his hand.

The Rasengan…

Pītā's eyes narrowed as he stood where he was and watched the blonde try to maintain the high ranked Jutsu for the next few minutes, silently chuckling when Naruto lost his concentration and the chakra dissipated or it blew up in his face, sending him flying a few meters before he would get back up and try again. Summoning the chakra and having it spin was the easy part from what he was seeing but maintaining it long enough to be used seemed to be the hard part for Naruto.

"Dammit, what the hell am I doing wrong?!" Naruto grumbled to himself after he failed once again.

It was then that Pītā silently approached Naruto from behind, making no noise as his feet carried him across the field.

"I got the rotation speed down, and the shape just right… so why the hell isn't this thing working?" Naruto growled in annoyance as he stared down at his partially injured hand, already the wounds were healing thanks to the Bijū within him, courtesy of his own father...

"The issue isn't you increasing the rotation speed or size of the chakra, it's doing both at the same time and balancing it out is where your failing" Pītā said as he was suddenly standing behind the grumbling Naruto, causing said boy to jump and even shriek in sheer terror at being snuck up like that.

"HOLY SHIT!" Naruto yelled as he leaped several meters away from Pītā and glanced at the man with wide eyes "How the hell did you get so close without me sensing or hearing you?!"

"Practice… years and years of hard, painful practice" Pītā said with a slight hidden grin thrown towards the bright orange wearing child 'The Mizukage expected nothing less from me and Yagura then to be just as good if not better at the Silent Killing technique than the Seven Swordsmen…'

Naruto stared at the man in before him for several moments before his eyes suddenly widened "Hey, I remember you, you saved me from a few Chūnin and that asshole Jōnin that tried to kill me a few years ago!"

Pītā nodded at that before he pointed towards Naruto's healed hand "Training for the upcoming Chūnin exams I see, with an 'A' ranked ninjutsu no less"

"Uh yeah…" Naruto said as he glanced down at his hand "Been working on it for a few weeks now, but I can't seem to complete it for some reason. Every time I try, it just blows up in my face… literally"

"Well it's like I said, you got to increase the speed of the rotation while your adding more chakra and shaping it at the same time. It wont work very well if you do more of one or the other, if at all" Pītā said as he gestured towards Naruto's hand.

"How do you know that?" Naruto asked with a curious frown that this man knew something about the late Yondaime Hokage's jutsu. From what he gathered, not many people were aware of it and even fewer knew the inner workings of such a jutsu. If there was one thing that Naruto could credit Namikaze for, it was keeping his jutsus functions close to the chest, like his legendary Hiraishin no Jutsu.

"I have a jutsu that requires something similar" Pītā said with a slight shrug.

"Really?" Naruto said with a look of doubt etched on his face "You have a jutsu similar to the Rasengan?"

"Yep" Pītā said with a nod.

Naruto was silent for a few moments as he stared at Pītā, having what looked like some sort of inner debate with either himself "Can I see it?"

At this, Pītā frowned under his mask "Why?"

"Maybe seeing how you put your jutsu together will help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with my jutsu since their so similar" Naruto said with a simple explanation.

Pītā mentally debated the pros and cons of such a thing. While he was asked, and agreed, to help the boy out, Pītā was sure showing the boy how he makes a Bijūdama wasn't what the elderly Hokage had in mind. Plus, while the Rasengan and Bijūdama were near identical, the former being inspired by the latter, there were still a few key differences in how they function.

He remained silent for several seconds before he answered "Well I'd like to kid but… I don't think that's a good idea"

Naruto's eyes narrowed at this and for a moment, Pītā saw a look of rage in them before it vanished as the blonde spoke "What, why not? Wait let me guest, don't want to possibly risk the 'demon brat' getting too powerful?"

"No, because my jutsu is more dangerous" Pītā stated plainly.

"More so then the Rasengan?" Naruto asked with a raised brow, his curiosity growing "An 'A' ranked jutsu created by the Yondaime Hokage himself?"

"By a long shot kid, by a very loooooong shot…" Pītā said with a sigh as he placed his hands on his hips and thought over an appropriate substitute to show the boy that works similar to the Rasengan 'Which is… the frickin Bijūdama… dammit!'

"Aww come on, it's not like I have the Sharingan and will be able to copy it down or something with a single glance!" Naruto complained "Plus I haven't really mastered the Rasengan yet, so it's not like I'll be looking to learn a completely new and more powerful jutsu when I'm still working on this one!"

Pītā hummed at that as he glanced back at the boy in deep thought before he finally caved "Alright, alright… I'll show you my jutsu, maybe seeing how I make it will help you complete forming yours. Sides, not like you'll be able to copy it any time soon… Sharingan or not"

Naruto seemed to beam at this as he watched Pītā hold up a hand and began to slowly gather chakra in it in a manner that was very similar to how Naruto forms the Rasengan. The orange clad Genin watched with rapt attention as Pītā began to gather a combination of negative black chakra and positive white chakra, forming a ball roughly the size of Naruto's Rasengan if not a little bigger but dark purple in color rather than blue. Naruto's eyes widened as he could feel the amount of power in the sphere along with something else he didn't expect…

'Bijū chakra… but how?' Naruto thought with wide eyes before he slowly looked up to see that Pītā's attention was entirely on the sphere of destruction in his hand.

The reason for Pītā's extreme focus was because he didn't want the forming of this jutsu to gain any unwanted attention which it likely will when he uses it, and he didn't want to put too much power into it and risk blowing up half the training ground. While the Bijūdama he was making was no where near as powerful as one he could form when in his Bijū Mōdo, it was still plenty powerful in its own right.

After a few more seconds, Pītā nodded in satisfaction before he turned towards Naruto "Get behind me"

Without question, the blonde did as ordered while Pītā aimed the Bijūdama towards the river and 'fired' it off from the palm of his hand. Both he and Naruto watched as the ball flew through the air to the point that Naruto barely saw it and watched as it collided with the edge of the river, creating a powerful explosion that sent hundreds of gallons of water into the air, along with a few tons of earth. Naruto stumbled a little from the force of the blast while Pītā remained standing perfectly still, using his adhesive powers to remain rooted to the spot. After a few moments, the dust cleared as chunks of earth and water fell back down to the earth like a small storm, drenching the ground before the two Jinchūriki. Naruto gaped at the destruction before him while Pītā let out a hiss of annoyance.

"Dammit, still more powerful then what I would have preferred…" Pītā said while he mentally prayed that any passing shinobi will think it was just a rather powerful paper bomb that was just set off.

Naruto's eyes nearly shot out of his skull as his head whipped towards the elder man before him "Wait, that wasn't at full power?!"

"Oh Kami no, at full power that would have completely annihilated everything within a several thousand foot radius at least" Pītā said as he lowered his arm and glanced down at Naruto who was looking at the man with shock etched on his face "Cool huh?"

Naruto glanced back at the devastation while Pītā turned to leave "Where there you have it kid, I showed you my jutsu that requires to balance out a chakra ratio of eight to two, the same ratio the Rasengan needs. Granted the end results between it and my jutsu are vastly different but that shouldn't stop you…"

Naruto absently nodded at the statement as he kept staring at the destruction that Pītā caused before he finally realized that the older man was leaving "Wait, don't you want to see if I can pull off the Rasengan now?"

"As much as I'd like to, I'm afraid I have to get going" Pītā said as he neared the tree line.

"Really, why?" Naruto asked with some suspicion in his voice 'Is he going to report me knowing the Rasengan to the Hokage?'

"I have to feed my cat" Pītā said with a simple shrug "If I don't, he somehow gets out of the house and starts to roam around until he finds something to eat"

"Well, then why not hire a cat sitter or whatever to feed him when your out?" Naruto asked as he watched Pītā depart.

"I do, but they keep refusing to be a regular, be they civilian or Shinobi" Pītā said with a shake of his head "I swear, how hard is it to watch over a simple cat? I mean they make it sound like he's a demon or something"

Naruto frowned at the departing man before he raised his hand and waved him off "Well, see you around I guess"

"You too kid, you too" Pītā replied before he suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye, causing Naruto's eyes to widen.

"How the… he's even faster than Kakashi…"

Not too far from the training grounds, Pītā came to a stop on top of a remote rooftop in a crouch. He glanced back at the training ground for a moment before he shrugged and leaped on to another building and slowly made his way back to his home. He wasn't lying in that his cat would somehow get out if he didn't get home and feed him in time, last time the little brat got out, he crossed paths with Kakashi and made the man late to a meeting with his students because he forced the Copy ninja to take the long way around or risk gaining any sort of bad luck, which according to Kakashi was entirely possible with Pītā's unruly pet.

"Pfft, unruly? If anything, my cat is the very definition of a perfect cat. He's quiet, likes to cuddle and he takes care of any mice or rats that may be lying around the house" Pītā grumbled as he arrived back at his home and pulled out his key and inserted it into the lock and unlocked the door before pushing it open to see his black furred cat, Bū, sitting there with his bright almost glowing yellow eyes.

"Hey Bū, did you miss me?" Pītā said as he crouched down and rubbed the cat's head, causing it to purr in delight before he scooped the little feline up and made his way towards the kitchen area of his home "Let's see what I can whip up for you for being such a cute and pleasant little kitty cat, would you like that?"

Bū responded with a simple meow as he settled into Pītā's arms while the man opened the fridge up and began to search for something for both him and the purring feline in his arms. It was during this time that something about Pītā's meeting with Naruto finally clicked inside his mind and caused him to frown as he glanced down at Bū with a frown.

"Now that I think of it, when the hell did Kakashi teach that kid the Rasengan? I thought he was waiting until he became a Chūnin to do that or something!"

His question was met with silence as Bū stared up at him with an unreadable expression before meowing in hunger, forcing his owner to, for the time being, abandon that thought as he resumed his search for something for Bū to eat, unaware that his seemingly peaceful days were approaching their end...


And done.
