Author's Note: Hello as you can See Goku saved me and I'm still alive for another chapter.

What I forgot to mention in the last note is the bounty I gave Orochimaru. So I searched it up but the only bounties that I got were Asuma's bounty and his master so I got it from (cause why not) because some bounties relate to the person.

Anyways this is the training chapter before the epic fights. So here's some insight as to who Jericho will be trained by. One is Naruto for obvious reasons, the Second is Orochimaru (this should be fun), and the last is Hidan (trust me about him).

So there's not much to say except let's get on with the Chapter.

Chapter 26- Jericho's Training

Jericho had one word to describe the training regimen that she got from Naruto.

Torture

Naruto decided to take some of the training he had when he was with Bushy Brow and Bushier Brow Sensei and while at first, it seemed simple when he told her to put some weights on and run around for a bit, she thought that he was underestimating her but she was truly underestimating the weights he put on her. There were seven weights on each ankle and one of those weights weighed 20 pounds and seven of them on one ankle was 140 pounds and it was the same on her other ankle which totaled to about 20,000 pounds. (They probably weigh much more but idk how much they weigh exactly)

That's not adding the training she has to do with Orochimaru and Hidan...with the weights on. The only time she can take them off is when she goes to take a shower but then she must put them back on and when she asked Naruto what was the point of this he replied with.

"My friend a long time ago always wore these and this worked for him so just trust me ok?" She remembered while dodging an attack from said person as she was dodging ice-based attacks from him. Naruto had admitted that he knew the basics of ice spells and he remembered the Ice Jutsu that Haku used against him and Sasuke but that was all so he could only train her in the basics as this day in age the Ice Jutsu was too complex and trying to teach her some hand signs would take far too long because while they may have been second nature when Naruto was a kid even if some were a little long practically every shinobi knew how to do it with training but now people wouldn't give it a second glance.

Despite this Naruto still taught some of the basics to her and she learned very quickly despite her complaining in the physical area she was happy with her training...until she met with Orochimaru. Now, most would expect his training to be weird but no he taught her how to use a Katana and imbedding her magic into it...while being poisoned. He says that this is going to build her tolerance to snake poison but because he's giving her the strongest kinds she is slowly becoming immune to all types of poison. She was always on her feet because he uses a sword that can extend itself and breakthrough almost anything, any sort of rock she hides behind to try and gain her breath would break through it as he purposely missed her head and would shatter any Ice wall she would make.

It also doesn't help that he controls it with telekinesis so when she first thought that she beat him when he "lost" his sword but was proven wrong when she felt the cold blade against the back of her neck and saw it floating behind her and turned back to see a smirking Orochimaru who told her something which said to never to forget.

"Remember this and remember this well. When facing an unknown opponent always be on your guard because had I been an enemy you would have been dead just now." Despite his chilling words, he was right as every opponent she would come across could always have other abilities than what they normally show. Other than all that his training was quite simple as he gives her an antidote when he sees that she's about to pass out from her body adapting to the poison even though it's a minor setback to becoming immune she's slowly getting there.

Then there was Hidan. Hidan was Naruto and Orochimaru combined but at the same time kinda...crazy. While he would train her in physical combat now and then he would launch one of his spells at her catching her off guard every time but they were more of his weaker spells but he would throw in a Cero once in a while just so he doesn't ease up on her and once again he told her something as well.

"Now I'll admit Fox Boy kinda forced me to do this but here's my battle advice. Always expect the unexpected in every battle and not every opponent will have some form of movement...they can be wild...LIKE ME!" After his speech, he quickly blasted off from where he was and punched her in the gut making her cough some saliva mixed with a little blood. She got up and dashed back towards him but his crazed movements made him very hard to hit and that's when she realized what he meant by being wild.

This would be her training regimen every day. Wake up and have breakfast, meditate with Naruto for 30 minutes then stretch for about 10. Then she would work on her strength, stamina, speed, and endurance with the weights on then they would have a spar before she would go and train with Orochimaru. With him, he would inject her with some poison then get straight into sparing but he has her fight him in different terrains so she can adjust to the different climates and help her in tune with her ice magic. She would learn her own spells such as one spell she accidentally made when she tried striking him as he tried her but when her sword was embedded into the ground she transformed the area around into Ice.

Naruto came over and helped her up as Orochimaru grabbed the sword when Naruto gave the Name of her spell which he called Ice Age considering her spell was quite cold and according to Merlin and Orochimaru, it was below freezing temperatures so she would need to learn to control the temperature of her ice so she doesn't freeze someone to death by accident or freeze them in Ice. The spell lasted two days but it slightly taxed her magic so she would need to train with Naruto to improve her magical container...well that's what he called it anyway.

Currently, she was training with Hidan meaning she was almost done for the day but Hidan always made sure to make it excruciating when he fought her. While Hidan does know his limits against her so he doesn't kill her on accident but it's just enough so that she almost passes out at the end of Training. Jericho had grown strong enough to keep up with him as they speeding around the field clashing their weapons with each other until...

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Jericho yelled out as her arm became with her Katana became an Ice Dragon as her arm was encased in Ice while her back had large Ice wings with a Long Ice Tail. She also gained ice claws on her other arm and had claws on her feet. Her sudden burst of speed caught Hidan off guard and slashed him down from his shoulder to his lower side with Ice spikes coming from the cut. Hidan was sent back into a couple of boulders and trees but he was fine...somewhat.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? FUCKING DAMMIT THAT FUCKING HURTS!" Hidan yelled signaling he was fine as Jericho calmed down as she felt stronger but that was short-lived when she started running from a pissed-off Hidan.

"PLEASE HIDAN I'M SORRY! I DON"T KNOW HOW I DID THAT BUT PLEASE CALM DOWN!" Jericho yelled while dodging a bunch of blasts from Hidan who made it very clear that he wasn't calming down anytime soon.

"I'LL SHOW YOU JUST HOW SORRY YOU'LL BE ONCE I'M DONE!" He yelled still shooting her with his magic all the while Orochimaru, Naruto and Ban watched from afar laughing their asses off but Orochimaru settled for a grin and a chuckle.

"So Naruto are you gonna go help out your girlfriend out before Hidan catches her?" Ban said after calming down but that was short-lived as he saw Naruto blush slightly but Naruto punched his head off as he regenerated still grinning making Naruto sigh as he answered.

"First she's not my girlfriend...-"

"Yet..."Son said stifling a chuckle slightly agitating Naruto.

"-...and Second your right I should stop him before he accidentally hurts her." He finished but at the same time Son, Kuruma, and Shukaku were chuckling to themselves as their host didn't deny Jericho being Naruto's girlfriend at some point.

Hidan was still chasing Jericho around ready to pound her into the ground with his scythe as Jericho's transformation wore off while she was running. Just as Hidan swung his scythe down on her Naruto caught the tip just before it cut her eye out.

"Calm down Hidan you almost made her lose an eye in your rage...again." Naruto started as he released his weapon while Jericho sighed realizing that she was saved. "Look training is over for the day everyone is tired so go to merlin so she can heal you just calm down." Naruto managed to reason with him as he started walking away before turning his head.

"Tomorrow's training is going to be hell, be ready." Hidan spoke with an evil glint in his eye that drained away all of the color from her face as he walked away and she swore she heard him chuckling.

"Anyways aside from your hellish training tomorrow with Hidan can you tell me how did that?!" Naruto asked with starts in his eyes as Jericho rubbed the back of her neck as she explained that she was concentrating her magic when the transformation happened.

"Well, we can go ask Merlin she probably knows more about that this kinda stuff." Naruto said as Jericho nodded as they made their upstairs and knocked on her door as it magically swung open to see Merlin removing ice from Hidan.

"Hey, Merlin we have a question." Naruto said as Merlin nodded while concentrating on Hidan who was asleep during this process. "So as you can see Jericho accidentally created Hidan's ice pack as she gained a transformation so we wondering if you know anything about it?" Naruto finished while poking fun at Hidan as Jericho laughed at his joke.

"A transformation you say...?" She said now looking at them as they both nodded. "Well, that means you've fully developed your magic." She said but only got confused looks as she sighed continued explaining as she finished healing Hidan and woke him up and he stayed as he felt an important lecture coming on.

"When a person fully masters their magic one of three things happens. One is that they get a Transformation like Jericho, giving them immense power and speed or other increase in abilities depending on the magic but the transformation is different for everyone as they would have different magic, even then if someone has the same magic as you the transformation would be different. Second is True magic, True magic gives a person a spell where they take a certain stance and it unleashes the power of their magic, for example, Hidan here has Darkness magic and if he has True Magic he would use his magic to its fullest in an all-out attack. If he trained or anyone for that matter they can use the True magic in some of their smaller spells increasing its power." She took a breather and Hidan who woke up seemed pretty excited that he could use his magic in an all-out just from one spell and just before he left Merlin continued.

"Finally this relates to both. You see in very rare cases some people can unlock both but most people don't even unlock either of them so I'll be honest I'm quite surprised when you two came in here and said that you had a transformation." Merlin finished her explanation as Jericho looked pretty proud of herself that she's one of many few people who have fully mastered their magic and Naruto himself was pretty proud that he trained her to this level.

"What should we name her transformation?" This input surprisingly came from Hidan as they turned to look at him. "What just because I was pissed off earlier doesn't mean that this doesn't interest me because I'm going to try and achieve both!" Hidan exclaimed shocking them as he never really cared about anything. "Besides it would look totally lame if the icicle over here manages to do something through training and that I can't." He taunted with a smirk as he left clearly off to try and get a Transformation like Jericho or get True Magic but he said he was going to get both so they could only wait and see if he really pulled it off. Jericho however pouted in anger when Hidan called her Icicle while naruto chuckled at it. (Should he have both or one?)

"I think we should name call it your Byoltorn, combining the words it could be called Disaterous Thorn?" Naruto said as Jericho nodded and they left Merlin to continue what she was doing before Hidan came in with Ice on him.

TimeSkip

It was the afternoon currently as everyone was doing their own thing. Ban was preparing dinner, Escanor becoming his weak self was cleaning the mugs, Diane and Elizabeth were trying to explain to Gowther that they could not eat Hawk when they would run out of food, Hawk himself was eating the scraps from leftover ingredients that Ban was using, Meliodas was chatting with King about what they're going to do when they reach the Kingdom and King was ready for his rematch with Helbram. Orochimaru was thinking of how to increase Jericho's training when he heard of her transformation because of mastering her magic while Hidan was still training to try to achieve True Magic or a Transformation. Naruto was talking to Jericho as he was telling stories before he became an immortal.

"...and that's how I beat Mitsuki when I was still in the academy." Naruto had finished explaining how he was tricked into stealing the Forbbiden scroll of Sealing because he wanted to become a Genin but he defeated him afterward and Iruka declared him a Geninn from that point on. Jericho was pretty amazed but a little sad that Naruto's childhood was horrific and Naruto saw it on her face.

"Look you don't need to feel sorry for me because I overcame it a very long time ago. I'll admit I had hatred towards my village but I just pushed it away pretending as if it wasn't there but I had to confront it had some point and when I did it was pretty hard but I manage to beat it." Naruto said with a smile showing he was truly fine with this but Naruto did admit that talking about it did bring some bad memories but he just shook them off remembering the good times he had with his friends and the ones he currently has.

"Alright, guys foods done!" Ban yelled loud enough so that everyone heard as they all sat at tables with food as Merlin came from her room and Hidan from his shower. They sat as they ate food drank some ale as everyone was laughing with each other when Ban grew a mischievous smirk.

"Sooo you two love birds done flirting with each other already so that Naruto can tell us some more stories?" Ban said messing with Naruto and Jericho as they had small blushes on their face but Ban wasn't lying when he said about Naruto's stories as they made it a thing for Naruto to share stories before he gained immortality.

"Fine, what story do you want to hear first?" Naruto asked as they all got into thought when Elizabeth spoke up.

"You said you were a ninja right, then that means you went on missions and I was wondering what was your first or favorite mission?" She asked as Naruto chuckled at that when he finally answered.

"I'll tell you about my first mission...it all started with the bridge builder named Tazuna..."Naruto started by proceeding to explain his first real mission as a Genin escorting/protecting him.

End Chapter

Authors Note: Hello it's me again and you've made it to the bottom again. Anyways so two people have asked me if I'm going to discontinue my other story The Demon's from Another Hell or if I'm going to put it up for adoption and here's to answer those questions...no and no.

So here's what I'm going to do, so after this chapter, I'm going to take a break from this story and start writing for that story so not only people will stop thinking that I abandoned it but so that I can actually make it good seeing as how you guys like this story this much I can make my first story even better.

Right, that was that so here are some things on this story before I take a break from it. Jericho's transformation, should I keep it or change it for adult Toshinro's Bankai? Should Hidan have the transformation because I had already planned for him to have the true magic so it's your choice on whether or not he gets both.

Finally...how epic should the final battle be, like Dragon Ball style (going into space would be your choice honestly) or something like Bleach or like Naruto when they battled Kaguya traveling through different dimensions, I'll set up my first poll for this tomorrow or at the end of today.

K, that's all from me see you whenever that may be because for a while I'm working on my other story, bye.
