Chapter Eight
It was Monday. Naruto did indeed meet up with Chōji on Sunday as they talked about. Surprisingly Shikamaru also decided to tag along. Naruto wasn't sure, but he was getting the distinct impression that the Nara heir didn't like him.
Aside from Shikamaru the Akamichi and Uzumaki got along famously. They hit up three different eateries Yakiniku Q, Ichiraku Ramen, and Amaguriama. All in all even with the sour Nara tag along it was a nice afternoon. He and Chōji had even made plans to hang out again in a few weeks if their teams weren't on missions.
Speaking of missions Team 4 was back to lame D-ranks. Of course Naruto hadn't expected to completely ditch doing D-ranks. They were simple missions and the money didn't hurt. Still he had hoped they would get another C-rank after completing the first one in only one night.
Hayama did promise they would take another C-rank at the end of the week. Until then it was back to focusing on his training and D-ranks. He had already completed the first step of water manipulation by drawing water from a leaf, but Hayama informed him that he should try to draw water from different objects before moving to the second step. Naruto was proud to say that so far he had gotten further in chakra manipulation than his two teammates, but they were making progress and would get it in time.
Hayama though knew how tough an exercise it was and only allowed them thirty minutes every two days of team practice time to work on it insisting they should focus on their more basic skills instead for the time being until they gained more experience. Naruto had mostly gotten so far, because he made sure to do an hour everyday either in the morning when there was still morning dew on the ground or in the afternoon.
It was now after team training and they had just completed their mission for the day. They pulled weeds and planted flowers. Naruto was admittedly surprised to find out that Fuki liked to garden. When he told her he also liked to garden a little, but wasn't very good at it they began talking about their own little gardens despite Naruto not actually owning a garden and more of a few potted plants he watered.
He actually told Fuki his dream was to some day own a large house with a huge backyard so that he can have his own garden and training space. They didn't get to far, because Tomaru butted in telling them about how he also wanted a big house to call his own, because he was tired of sharing his space with all his brothers and sisters.
Hayama just smiled watching his team getting along and working together. He was admittedly worried when he picked his team about their dynamics. He knew Fuki used to be a bully and Tomaru was a bit of goof not to mention loud. He didn't know what to make of Naruto initially and didn't think this team would pass his test, but he was glad they did. Hayama couldn't imagine a better team and he was looking forward to the monthly meeting with the other jōnin where he would rub in how well his team was doing.
Hours later Naruto was alone and heading back to his team's training ground to do some afternoon training. He wanted to work some more on his elemental manipulation and kenjutsu along with his afternoon exercises. So the first thing he decided to do was his laps.
Unknown to Naruto watching him from a suitable distance was the creature that had killed the Nara deer. It had stalked him since that night gathering information and finding out his capabilities. Now it was ready to make its move.
After completing 10 laps Naruto positioned his hands in the familiar boar hand seal and took off mentally intoning 'Jinton: Mueishō : Swift Release: Shadowless Flight'. That is when the creature also took off at speeds that made it look like a streak of lightning, which for those crossing it's path shocked them greatly.
It brought up memories of the Yondiame to most witnessing the impromptu race, which they didn't know was a race. For they couldn't see Naruto at all almost like he was invisible when he used the technique. The creature despite moving at speeds close to the speed of light wasn't and was giving quite the show especially to passing shinobi including a certain green spandex wearing tiajutsu duo that tried to enter the race. They were quickly lost and then lapped almost instantly making them remove their weights and release a few gates in an attempt to keep up with whatever was moving so fast.
Lee was quickly dropped in the race finding it impossible to keep up at the speed his sensei was moving at to get close to whatever it was. He tried to call out to Gai, but even his voice failed him as he lay face down on the ground. Gai himself wasn't fairing much better than Lee. He prided himself on his speed, stamina, and endurance but at the rate whatever in front of him was traveling he couldn't' keep up.
'It can't be human' the tiring jōnin thought.
He had already been lapped by the creature several times and he had released his weights a minute ago. He just couldn't keep going like this. Even his chakra was starting to fail him. He finally collapsed after being passed several more times.
"I have failed you, my precious Lee-kun! Youth wasn't enough!" the man shouted.
Strangely he had crumpled right beside his student who was also lamenting his failure … loudly.
It took several more minutes for Naruto to come to a stop, but just as he did he was tackled from behind sending him flying forwardly awkwardly as he tried to gather himself. Before he could though he was slammed into again and knocked across the ground in a different direction.
This happened several more times as he felt clawed scratches and bite marks pierce his skin. And they were getting close to vital areas like his neck and groin. Changing tactics use his hands to spring up from the ground. This forced the creature to leap at him, which also slowed it down.
Quickly forming the tiger hand seal Naruto created a Mizu Bunshin to take the attack for him and then quickly flashed the boar hand seal to appear on the other side of the clearing. When the beast killed the water clone it landed on the now wet ground facing Naruto.
Now that they were both standing still Naruto was able to get a good look at the animal. He'd never seen anything like it though. It was a little taller at the shoulder then even the biggest of the Inuzuka dogs he had seen, but it was really thin, with a golden spotted coat, short muzzle, elongated back, short but deadly looking canine teeth, deep chest, narrow waist, and a long heavy looking tail. Naruto had seen when it attacked that the tail was used like some sort of rudder at times when it needed to turn sharply. In short it was a beautiful, tall, thin cat.
"What are you?" Naruto asked out loud.
He did not know why he said that out loud. He certainly didn't expect it to answer him.
"I am what humans used to call a cheetah" the cat answered.
"A cheetah, are you a summon animal?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, but how did you know?" it replied.
"Well this village is sort of famous for bloodlines and it's many summon contracts. I've never heard of a cheetah summoning contract though" Naruto says.
"I would be surprised if you had, then again I'm surprised you are not jumping around like an idiot because I can talk" the cheetah responds.
"Why are you attacking me?" Naruto asked shrugging off the comment.
"I'm not attacking you. I am testing you to see if you are worthy enough to become the first summoner of my clan" the cat says.
That was interesting. He would be the first to have this new contract and no one knew about it. It was perfect … too perfect.
"Why are you testing me? I'm sure there are other much stronger ninja out there that would suit your clan" Naruto asks.
"Perhaps, but you are the first I have come across that fits the main requirement the chief told me to find in a summoner" it replies.
"That is …" Naruto asks.
"To be faster than the speed of light. You are the first I have found that can out run me at top speed" the cat answers.
"Well, did I pass?" Naruto asks.
"You did" the cheetah answers.
"Now what?" Naruto asks.
In response the creature relaxed its stance and started hacking like it was trying to cough up a fur ball or something. It was kind of disgusting. When it finally coughed up a large scroll Naruto really didn't want to go near it, but reluctantly walked over as the summons used its paw to unravel the large roll of parchment.
"Prick your finger to gather some blood and then use it to write your name on the first line" it directed.
Naruto did as told using a kunai to puncture three fingers on his right hand.
"Now prick your hand and gather blood so you can form a hand print and then place it next to your signature" the cheetah says.
Naruto does as the summons says. When he's done he looks at the scroll and taken in that he is indeed the first one to have the contract.
"Is that it?" Naruto asked.
"That's it. I'm glad I found you Uzumaki-san. It took a long time before I found you and I am ready to go back home" the cat remarks.
"Wait, how do I summon you guys?" Naruto asks.
"To summon us prick the hand you used to sign the contract again to create an offer of blood, then do the hand seals Boar - Dog - Bird - Monkey - Ram to mold your chakra correctly, and finally place the hand you used to sign the contract on the area you wish to summon us. The amount of chakra you use will determine the power of the summon" the cheetah informs him.
"How do I summon you? Naruto asked.
"I can't tell you that Uzumaki-san as you are our first summoner we will be learning as much as you do about the process. I suggest start off using a low amount of chakra and then gradually build up until you summon me. I warn you though that some of my kind can be … skittish and might run away or attack before you can talk to them" it tells him.
"Thank you for explaining that to me and the warning" Naruto replies.
"It's fine, do you need anything else?" the cheetah summons asks.
"No, but can you tell me your name before you leave?" Naruto asks.
The cheetah looks at Naruto questioningly for a few second and answers.
"My name is Saburo, I look forward to working with you in the future Uzumaki-san" the summons says before disappearing.
Naruto stood in the clearing for a few moments digesting what just happened to him when he broke out in broad smile.
"I have a summoning contract, I have a summoning contract" Naruto says to himself.
This was big stuff. As far as he knew only jōnin or experienced chūnin were able to summon. He had never heard of a genin summoner although it was possible there were others. He felt like trying it out right away, but remembered he still had his elemental exercise to work on first not to mention his chakra control exercises, weapon training, taijutsu training, and he wanted to practice the ninjutsu he knew as well before heading home to rest.
Looking at his shirt and pants he could also see he would need to replace or repair those as well. They were riddled with claw marks and teeth holes from where he was scratched and bit. He was just glad Saburo didn't have larger teeth.
Deciding to work on his summoning technique later he got back to work starting with his tiajutsu training. If only he knew a jutsu that could create multiply copies of himself to cut down on the work load.
Three days later
Team 4 stood at their designated training ground ready for instruction. Hayama decided today would be a heavy training day so no missions. So far they had reviewed the three basic chakra control exercises including battle simulations on trees and water for an hour. Then they worked more on their elemental manipulation. And after that they all practiced kenjutsu something that had been neglected of late during team training, but it showed that the kids had worked on it in their own time after practice as Hayama could see definite improvement.
Lastly he had them review their taijutsu and genjutsu before giving them a break. This time it was Tomaru's choice and he had a massive sweet tooth so they went to the Dango Shop. When they entered the genin noted Hayama was acting suspiciously like he didn't want to go in the shop, but upon entering he relaxed.
Naruto had the Nikudango, which was a type of meatball and a bowl of anmitsu for dessert. Tomaru ordered the Goma style dango with a side order of Chichi dango. Fuki had the Hanami style dango and a bowl of anmitsu while Hayama had the Chadango or green-tea flavored dango and a bowl of anmitsu.
Now that they were rested and full Hayama decided to teach them something new.
"What I am going to show you now is a technique called Chakra Flow. The Chakra Flow technique refers to both the flowing of chakra through an object as well as any technique that increases the potency of a weapon by flowing chakra through it. There are some techniques that use Chakra Flow to enhance the body as well, but that is very advanced stuff that you shouldn't try until you master your element.
Now, watch how I use the Chakra Flow technique to enhance the sharpness and piercing ability of this kunai" Hayama says.
The three genin watch as Hayama takes out a kunai and pushes his chakra through it converting it into wind nature. Each genin noted there was a noticeable hum coming from the technique as it enveloped the kunai. When Hayama-sensei threw the weapon the genin were practically in awe as it not only punched a huge hole through one tree but several.
"Whoa! You've got to teach me that sensei!" Tomaru shouted.
Despite the volume of their teammate Naruto and Fuki couldn't help but be equally excited.
"Now calm down. Tomaru this technique is perfect for wind users, but Fuki and Naruto each element reacts differently to the use of this technique. I know that for Earth users like Fuki the technique hardens weapons or the body. Iwa in particular uses Chakra Flow to harden their bodies until they are as hard as steel, but the same can be done for weapons making it an ultimate defensive technique.
Unfortunately Naruto I don't know what effect this may have with water nature as none has been noted before. However, you also have wind nature like me and Tomaru. You could practice the technique using your wind nature, but without completing the Leaf Cutting exercise with your wind chakra it will be very difficult for you" Hayama instructs.
Naruto nodded at the information.
"I'll begin working on the Leaf Cutting exercise first sensei, but if you could also give me the second step of water manipulation I would like that as well sensei" Naruto asks.
"Alright why don't you go over to that tree and gather some leaves to begin practicing with while I start Tomaru and Fuki on the Chakra Flow Technique" Hayama orders.
Naruto nods and heads off to begin practicing. It was half an hour later before Hayama caught up with him. When Hayama looked at Naruto's progress he noted that he had already managed to produce notable cuts on the sides of the leaf.
"Good job Naruto-kun, it looks like it won't take you long to get this down either" Hayama praises.
"Thank you sensei, for some reason this feels a lot easier than when I worked on the first stage of water manipulation" Naruto says.
Hayama nodded at the information. It would seem Naruto had a more powerful connection to the wind than he initially thought.
"Do you want me to give you the second step to water manipulation or do you want to continue working on leaf cutting?" Hayama asks.
In response Naruto stops what he is doing and sets the pile of leaves aside as he stands up.
"The second step of water manipulation as I understand it is to manipulate the flow of water in a lake by making it turn clock wise around you creating a whirlpool" Hayama informs the young teen.
"Thank you sensei. I think I'll continue to work on the Leaf Cutting exercise first before trying it" Naruto says.
Hayama nodded and says, "Alright, if you need my help I'll be with Tomaru and Fuki, but before I go I wanted to give you this. It's a scroll on a C-rank water technique called Suiton: Mizurappa. It is considered a basic technique of water manipulation and very versatile having many variations. The hand seals are Dragon - Tiger - Hare" Hayama directs.
Naruto takes the scroll and thanks his sensei again before going back to work on the Leaf Cutting Exercise. He really wanted to learn the Chakra Flow Technique as it was obviously very powerful, practical, and useful. He also wanted to try it with his water release.
Several days later Team 4 was still working on learning Chakra Flow. Naruto had gotten the hang of the Leaf Cutting exercise in record time finishing it that night after Hayama had released them from training. He showed his sensei the next day and began working with Tomaru on using his wind nature to enhance the piercing and cutting power of a kunai. Fuki was also working hard on strengthening a kunai with her earth nature chakra. This was made more difficult by Hayama not knowing how to help her although he was able to ask another jōnin friend of his for tips that would help her.
By Friday afternoon each genin could coat a kunai with their chakra, but were still working on prolonging and strengthening the effects of using Chakra Flow. Naruto and Tomaru as usual were competing fiercely against each other but Hayama made sure to keep their competition friendly and productive. He reminded all of them that this was something most shinobi didn't try until after they became chūnin if not jōnin.
Naruto had also started on the second water manipulation technique, but now that he was splitting his time between both wind manipulation and water his progress had slowed some. It also made it hard to work on his other training most notably in extending his usage of his bloodline technique. The odd thing was the better his wind manipulation became the more … explosive he felt when using it in his take off.
He had also slacked off some on his summon training not that he minded. He was having trouble summoning something other than cubs. A couple of times he got what he learned were termed sibling groups. Young cheetah's considered old enough to be on their own, but would stay with their siblings for a while until striking out on their own. He also learned that even the cheetah's that didn't talk were very vocal and expressive with a somewhat complex method of communication that gave them a great social system despite some times living far distances from one another.
Unfortunately all this training meant he had little time for anything else including friends. If it wasn't during team time he would often disappear before Tomaru or Fuki had a chance to ask him anything. His behavior was a bit alarming to his sensei, but he saw how hard the blond worked during team training so he figured he was probably doing some on his own time.
Hayama decided he would look into though if it continued too much longer. He didn't want the kid to burn out like so many talented kids before him. Burn out was an especially troublesome issue for ninja's.
That could wait, because now Team 4 was standing in front of the Hokage ready to receive their second C-rank mission.
"Shirokuma-san, I hear you are requesting another C-rank for your team" the Hokage asks.
"Yes Hokage-sama, thanks to Naruto the last one ended before it could really begin and I don't feel they got enough experience. I was hoping we could receive another one close to the village" Hayama replies.
"Hmm, Iruka do we have a C-rank mission available that is near the village?" he asked.
"No Hokage-sama, most of the C-ranks have already been distributed to the more experienced genin teams. There are three available. One is a protection mission to wave, another is a bandit elimination near Tanzaku Gai, and the last … hmmm actually this is near by just half a mile or so outside the village. A family is being terrorized by a large bear and they are requesting a team to kill it" Iruka says.
"We'll take the last one" Hayama says.
"Very well, here's the mission request scroll. Good luck on your mission Team 4" The Hokage says.
Team 4 bows to the elderly leader and then leaves passing by a drunk old man who really reeked of booze even to Fuki and Tomaru whose noses were the least sensitive. Team 4 quickly took their leave glad to get away from the drunk and pitied the team that got saddled with that old man.
Two days later
Team 4 was once again returning from a successful and quick mission. Hayama basically stood and watched as his genin made short work of the rogue bear. Funny thing was it turned out to be a summons and they chose Fuki, whom incapacitated the bear with an earth chakra infused punch to its head, to be their new summoner.
Hayama couldn't be prouder of his team with how fast they were progressing. Actually it was starting to become a little ridiculous. He now had a genin summoner, something that hadn't happened since the Sannin. He heard the Chūnin Exam was being held in Konoha this year. He was strongly considering nominating his team, but he really wanted them to wait a full year before reaching for a promotion.
Meanwhile, the genin were talking among themselves. More accurately Tomaru was pestering Fuki about how come the bears chose her. Of course Fuki didn't answer him and merely smirked at his frustration. She proudly displayed the summoning tattoo on her bicep that she received from the bear that was the holder of the contract.
Not getting what he wanted from Fuki Tomaru turned to Naruto hoping he would share in his frustration.
"Can you believe those stupid bears chose Fuki over me … or you!" He shouted.
"Let it go Tomaru, the bears told us why they chose Fuki plus after the way she knocked out that other one I think they were afraid she'd do the same to them" Naruto joked.
This didn't lesson Tomaru's jealousy or anger at all.
"Come on Naruto, you know I would be a better summoner than Fuki. I can just imagine summoning one of this big brutes to rip apart some bad guy while I rescue the princess and save the country. He would do anything I wanted him to and then I would become Hokage, because they would recognize my strength" Tomaru rants.
Naruto just let him go on his rant as they walked on. He did steal glances at Fuki who was also ignoring Tomaru who was now talking about how he would get a summon much cooler that stupid old bears. Fuki's strength had greatly surprised him. He didn't know she was that strong or able to pull off whatever move that was she pulled on the bear.
It made him realize that maybe he had started to discount his own teammates abilities. Hayama-sensei was obviously a very strong shinobi and a good teacher to have gotten them as far as he had in such a short amount of time. Fuki could punch out a bear and showed great control with her doton techniques. Even Tomaru despite being somewhat childish displayed a startling amount of cunning and battlefield tactics, plus a quick mind in the battle against the raging bear.
Naruto really felt lucky to apart of this team. It was starting to feel like family.
"Hey Fuki" Naruto said catching the girls attention.
"Maybe you shouldn't tell anyone you have a summon contract yet" Naruto says.
Fuki and Tomaru looked at his quizzically as did Hayama as he was curious about why a genin would consider hiding such a potentially powerful technique instead of bragging their asses off.
"Why?" Fuki asked.
Naruto's response wasn't verbal. Instead he stopped gathered chakra into his right hand, used the proper hand seals, and then slammed his hand on the ground in front of him.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu" Naruto called out.
In front of Naruto sat a cheetah cub a few months old. Naruto had purposely summoned him, because he liked his coloring which was white and black with amber eyes. He also like that the cub had a serious personality despite still being young.
"Naruto-sama, why have you summoned me?" questioned the cub.
"Sorry Fuyu, I was showing my team that I could summon you guys?" Naruto explains.
"Do you have any meat?" Fuyu asked.
"No, not on me but I'll summon you again when I get home okay?" Naruto asked.
"Sure Naruto-sama, bye" the cub said before poofing back to the grasslands.
"Naruto, what was that?" Hayama asked.
"I can summon the cheetah clan Hayama sensei" Naruto responds.
"Since when?" Tomaru butted in.
"About 5 days ago …" Naruto answers.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Fuki asked.
"I didn't want anyone to know" Naruto says truthfully.
"Why?" Hayama asked.
"Because, when people don't know you can do things they will underestimate you and think you are weak. If an enemy thinks you are weak then they will underestimate you and give you the advantage in a fight. I learned that keeping the full extent of your ability secret makes people underestimate you and makes things easier" Naruto explains.
Hayama nodded. It was fairly good reasoning … too good for a rookie genin. Naruto was still as much a mystery now as he was when he first received the team.
"Can you summon anything bigger than Fuyu?" Hayama asked.
"Some times, but I can't do it consistently yet" Naruto answers truthfully.
"Okay Naruto, well summoning is a very powerful and rare technique. Not just everyone gets a contract as the summon clans tend to be picky about who they let summon them. That said if you want to keep yours a secret for now I won't report it to the Hokage, but I suggest you tell him at some point" Hayama responds seriously.
"Hai sensei"
"Fuki, it's your choice on if you want people to know you are a summoner yet. I have to admit part of why I am allowing Naruto to keep his a secret is because people will target you if they find out you have contract thinking they can take it for themselves. If you want some time to think about it I can hold off on reporting it to Hokage-sama for a few days" Hayama tells her.
Fuki nodded, "Thank you sensei, I would like some time to think about it and maybe ask the bears what they think".
"Very well. Now Tomaru that means you can't blurt it out or tell anyone about this. I need you to respect your teammates wishes" Hayama orders.
"Hai sensei, but it's not fair. Why am I the only one without a summon contract!" Tomaru shouted.
"If it makes you feel any better Tomaru-kun I don't have a summon contract" Hayama says.
"Thanks sensei, but it really doesn't help" Tomaru responds.
Team 4 made good time running back to the village arriving a little after three thirty in the afternoon. When they arrived at the Hokage Tower they were sent right in only to find Team 7 plus the drunk they had passed after receiving their mission.
"Hokage-sama … should we come back later? Hayama asked.
"I told my secretary to let you in Hayama. I take it the mission was a success" The Hokage responds.
"Yes Hokage-sama, my team took care of Mrs. Sasaki's bear trouble with no problem" Hayama says handing the Hokage the signed mission request with payment inside.
"Good, good. Now I have called you in here because the mission Team 7 recently went on was a sham. The client here lied on his mission request form. It seems he's being targeted for assassination by a very rich individual with connections to the criminal underground named Gatō. Gatō has hired ninja to kill Tazuna and Team 7 was able to subdue two chūnin level missing-nin that attempted to carry out the assassination. After questioning Tazuna-san and finding out the truth they decided to abandon the mission and return to Konoha.
Tazuna decided to return with them and plead his case asking for another chance. He has agreed to pay a penalty for his deception and refiled his request with the proper ranking. Payment is to be deferred until such time as he or his village are able to with a grace period of one year.
Your team is being told this because I would like for Team 4 to go with Team 7 and finish this mission. Do you accept this mission?" the Hokage asks.
Hayama knew his team could handle this mission and if things went bad he and Kakashi were not made Jōnin for novelty. Kakashi was perhaps the strongest ninja currently in the village when he was serious and it sounded as if his team wasn't bad either.
Just to be sure though he looked at each member of his squad to see their reaction and was pleased to see they looked and eager and ready to go despite just coming back from a mission.
"Team 4 accepts the mission assignment Hokage-sama" Hayama replies.
"Very well, then due to your team's recent return from a mission I am sure Tazuna-san won' t object if you all begin bright and early tomorrow after you have better prepared yourselves" the Hokage says.
Tazuna wisely shook his head and said thank you to the Hokage.
"Then I will allow Hatake-san and Shirakumo-san to discuss the details among themselves. You are dismissed. Kakashi, Hayama stay for a moment would you" the Hokage directs.
The genin of Team 4 and 7 left the office with the client whom Team 4 could tell had sobered up some since they first saw him. When the genin and Tazuna left the Hokage turned to the two Jōnin.
The Hokage snapped his finger and three ANBU members drop down to the ground. A boar, bird, and cat masked ANBU all dropped down in front of the Hokage.
"Kakashi, Hayama I will be sending these three to shadow your teams during this mission. I am sure that by now Gatō has learned of the failure to kill Tazuna-san. He will most likely up his attempts to kill him and thus the danger of this mission is unknown.
They will not interfere or reveal themselves unless your teams encounter trouble that they or you cannot handle. They are also running independently of your mission as they have their own orders. You are not to interact with them or make your teams aware of them unless they choose to show themselves. Is that understood?" The Hokage asks.
"Yes, Hokage-sama" both men respond.
"Good you are dismissed"
Both jōnin leave the office immediately through different means.
"Your mission is to shadow and observe. When you return I want a detailed report on your analysis of the genin, especially Uzumaki Naruto. You are not to interfere unless Naruto or the Uchiha are near death. Do you understand your mission?"
The three ANBU nodded before leaving to prepare. The Hokage sat in his chair thinking over recent events. Team 4's growth was alarming considering how average their reports coming out of the academy were. Then there was the incident five days ago. He was still fielding inquiries into what exactly Gai was chasing around.
The civilians were convinced the yellow flash had returned. And Gai had put his team on leave as he conducted his own search for whatever it was that managed to escape him. The Hokage knew that whatever happened involved Naruto, it had to but that lead to some trouble some questions. The only thing he knew was he needed answers.
'Just what have you been doing Naruto-kun?
This is a challenge issued by Narutoenthusiast. I thank you all for reading the eighth chapter in story. As you can see I have decided to do the Wave Arc after all. I hope you will enjoy it.
As always Until next time dear readers :)
