-(AN: It's been awhile my wonderful whores. I Initially already wrote this shit wayyy before but it was garbage so I rewrote it. So here it is, chapter 5)
Time skip. Time skip. Time skip. Time skip.
5 Months later.
Percy and naruto were at home. It was winter break at their school and it was almost time for Christmas. It was snowing heavily in New York at the time and Percy and Naruto were on the roof of the house. Naruto was teaching Percy chakra control. I already know what you're thinking "wEll hOw cAn pErcY eVeN cOntRol cHaKrA hEs nOt eVen a niNjA" now I answer your question with one of my own. Do you really think I would write this story and not give Percy chakra. Huh? Yea that's what I thought, Now you get my point.
Anyway.
Percy was trying to learn how to control his chakra. Which naruto only found out about because Harry finally cornered him a week before and asked him to tell him everything. He figured that they would have the conversation eventually. It was just a matter of time. So ensued the longest bedtime story in mankind. By the time naruto finished it was damn near dawn. But I digress.
Flashback 2 months ago
naruto was answering Percy's question about how to awaken chakra when Percy decided to try to do the same.
Naruto just chuckled and was about to tell Percy why he didn't have a chakra system and noticed Percy was deep in concentration, so much so that his nose was all scrunched up and he looked so cute. Naruto stopped to admire Percy when he abruptly noticed a chakra signature erupted from Percy. He was In awe,
a note suddenly appeared In his hand.
It read
Dear naruto, I forgot to inform you that I gave Percy a chakra system so he could learn how to control chakra from you
Sincerely, Grandpa sage
P.s. if Percy can learn how to mix his divine energy into his chakra, it'll be sorta like you combining your chakra with Kurama's. It's EXTREMELY powerful so be careful.
Naruto chuckled to himself as he used a small fire jutsu to destroy the note. "Well kid looks like I can teach you after all" he said as he turned to Percy. Percy panted as he came to. "Wow *pant* I actually *pant* did it." Percy said as collapsed from exhaustion. "I'm surprised. But I'll get to teach you everything I know." Said naruto as he beamed at Percy.
Percy got up from his knees as fast as humanly possible and whipped his head up to look naruto in the eyes with excitement "so that means I can be as strong as you?!!" Naruto just chuckled and scratched the back of his neck nervously, he'd never seen Percy this excited over anything. "Yea I guess so, it'll just take a while as I'm pretty- Oof! Percy slammed into him for a hug, and looked into his eyes with big, blue, sad anime eyes and said "Thank u naruto, now I can protect my friends like I couldn't my mother." he said as he broke eye contact with Naruto, disengaged his hug and stared into the distance.
Naruto sighed, walked up to Percy and grabbed his shoulder as they stared off into the distance. "Kid, I had the same dream when I was your age, I didn't have many friends but I wanted to be powerful enough that I could protect the ones I did. He then looked to Percy. "You have a pretty big burden on your shoulders because of all the obstacles that will be thrown at you in your life. I have a feeling that your destiny will be an eventful one. I will train you to be as strong as possible, it'll get very dangerous along the way, You need to be prepared for anything." Naruto said to Percy in a very serious tone.
FLASHBACK END
Percy had taken to chakra theory and chakra control like a fish to water. He even slept with a leaf on his forehead for better chakra control. Naruto didn't want to rush him through everything but his urgency to train and learn made the boy one of the best students to teach. The only thing that upset him was Percy's regular human strength. It was pitiful. So from day one he made him put on weighted wrist and leg bands. Which reminded him a lot of rock lee. Anyway, these wrist, and leg bands were made to increase every time the user got used to them, Percy would become strong one way or another.
———————————————————
Percy was trying to learn how to tree walk but was having a hard time getting his chakra to stick. "Damn it!" He yelled when he fell off of the wall for what seemed like the 100th time. "Don't get so discouraged Percy, it took me awhile to get it the first time as well." Said Naruto as he stood on the wall tracking the boy's progress. He didn't get a response as Percy was determined to climb up the wall. He took off at a running start, jumped and just slightly placed his foot on the wall when, Boom!
He flew right through the wall.
Naruto saw this and sighed. "You used way too much chakra again Percy" he said as he picked him up off the ground for what seemed to be the 50th time today.
Percy didn't answer as he brushed himself off ready to go again. "No we'll continue this tomorrow, that's like the 12th wall you've broken through and quite frankly I'm tired of moving locations. Let's go home" said naruto as he started to walk away. "Hmpf" said Percy as he followed Naruto home will his head hung low.
————————————————————
Naruto shot out of bed, There was somebody in his apartment. And whoever it was had a chakra signature. Which should be impossible. Which also means it could only be one person.
Naruto sighed a breath of relief 'sheesh almost scared me half to death' he thought as he soundlessly made his way to the apartment living room. He stood just inside the door and took a look. It was Percy all right, but something wasn't right. He was hanging upside down on the ceiling, practicing hand signs. 'So he finally did it huh, I'm impressed. "Im impressed Percy, I didn't think you would get it this fast" naruto said as he stepped out of the shadows. "What-" was all Percy could get out before he fell off the ceiling, Making a spectacle of flipping mid-air, and landing soundlessly on the ground.
Naruto smirked. "I thought you were sleeping?" Said Percy giving Naruto a questioning look. "I was, you interrupted that by flaring your chakra signature all over the place". Said Naruto raising an eyebrow "you still haven't mastered it, you lost focus and severed your chakra from the roof. That could get you killed" Naruto said, walking over to the opened window "I know, but I couldn't sleep over the fact that I couldn't do it." Said Percy appearing beside him. Naruto didn't answer at first. Liking the feel of the breeze coming from the window. "When I was your age I didn't know anything about chakra. Never be discouraged if you can't do something at the time, think it over, make mistakes, and learn. There will be many things in your life you will come across that will make the frustration you feel now pale in comparison." He finally said. Percy just sat there staring out of the window as Naruto's words soaked in. 'No matter how hard something is, I'll do it. It's what my mom would want me to do' he thought as a fiery determination burned in his eyes.
————————————————————
It was the new year, Percy has grown in leaps and bounds. Naruto almost couldn't keep up, every since the night he'd caught percy training on the ceiling it seemed like Percy was pushing himself twice as hard, and Today is the day he will finally test Percy's chakra affinity. "Okay Percy, this is called chakra paper." Said Naruto pulling a piece of paper seemingly out of thin air. "It'll tell you which of the five chakra natures put have. If it's water, the paper will get wet. If it's fire, the paper will burn. If it's wind, the paper will split into two. And if it's lightning, the paper will wrinkle." As he gave the piece of paper to Percy he could see the unbridled excitement in his eyes. As Percy channeled his chakra into the paper something very interesting happened.
The paper was suddenly soaked with water, and split in half by wind. The first half immediately caught on fire and turned to ash, and the second half immediately turned into dirt and crumbled.
Naruto was baffled, Percy was more confused than anything. "W-well Percy it seems you have 4 of the five affinity's. I've never seen that before." He said as he chuckled nervously. "Yaaaaa! This means I'll be stronger than you old man!"
"I'm not old!" Said naruto as he smacked Percy on his head.
Now he knew how Tsunade felt.
———————————————————————
It was summer time, finally. Naruto and Percy had very big summer plans, Naruto was taking them to the middle of the wilderness to survive on their own for two months, without chakra. Well for Percy at least. This was very devastating news to Percy, part of the reason he hadn't spoke to naruto since stepping off the plane. They had arrived in Pennsylvania, for a two month long training trip. Kinda like his two year training trip with Jiraiya. He smiled to himself and thought about the good times with his old sensei as they arrived at the rental car place.
——————————————————————
After a long wait, and Naruto being confused about how car rentals work, they had finally made camp in the woods. Naruto had made a giant circle on the ground with a stick. "Alright Percy, for the two months we are in these woods you will be focused only on physical training. Which means we'll only train in taijutsu and kenjutsu. Which also means you'll finally get a sword." He said with a smirk. Now let's give a little backstory, Percy had been bugging naruto for a sword every since he learned about naruto being a ninja. Every time they trained in kenjutsu he would always get frustrated and break his bokken all that stopped of course when naruto told him if he had to go out and buy another damn bokken he'd make him run around the entirety of NYC... on his finger tips.
Nevertheless, he was very excited. "Yaaa! I'm a little closer to being stronger than you now naruto!"
Naruto chuckled and said "sure, but you getting a sword depends on how satisfied I am with how you do in these next two months." He said as he stepped into the ring he drew in the dirt. "Now Percy step into the ring and take off your wrist and leg bands." Said naruto with a smirk. "Really! I thought taking them off was only for emergencies?" Percy said excitedly. "Well today is an emergency" said naruto as he chuckled. "Yaaaaa!" Percy yelled as he threw off his wrist and leg bands. (Que big dirt explosion) Naruto whistled. "how much weight we're on those Percy?"
Percy scratched his head, "around half a ton? I stopped checking after 300." Naruto chuckled 'this kid is something else, lee would be proud' "Now step into the ring, time to show me what you've learned." Percy stepped into the ring and made the seal of confrontation. Slipping into the academy style. They waited, and waited, and waited. A single leaf fell to the ground slowly, As soon as it touched the ground Percy was off in a blur of speed. 'Jeez he's much faster now' naruto said as he side stepped Percy just in the nick of time. Percy went flying outside of the ring and crashed into a tree. "You won't get stronger than me like that kid" Naruto said as he watched Percy get up. 'I'm much faster than before, I have to get used to this first' Percy thought as he made his way back into the ring.
When he was a good distance away from naruto. he tensed, then kicked off into a blur of speed again, this time not as fast. He aimed a kick at naruto's head, naruto ducked under it and slid into a crouch, his right foot in a sweeping motion to throw Percy off balance. Percy saw this and kicked his foot that was on the ground up into the air and flipped sideways. As soon as he landed he kicked off again in a blur of speed this time with a punch aimed at naruto's face.
Naruto went to side step when he noticed Percy's fist going past his head and his elbow coming quickly towards his face. 'Trying to use my own move against me eh' naruto thought as he jumped away. Percy advanced on naruto again only for naruto to disappear in a blur and appear behind him, kicking him in the back. Percy had seen the kick coming but was too slow to dodge it. Percy flew out of the ring once again and skidded across the ground until stopping and groaning in agony. Naruto always kicked too hard. "You're faster than before I must admit, but for an opponent that is faster than you, you have to predict where they'll be."Naruto said as Percy groaned. "Yea yea old man, but do you always have to kick so hard?" He said as he finally stood up.
Naruto ignored the "old man" part and said. "If I don't prepare you for stronger opponents, you'll be weak. And no student of mine will be weak." He said, turning serious. "now that you've had a rest. again!"
———————————————————
For the entirety of the two months Percy trained, and he trained hard Naruto was a slave driver. He woke him up every morning at the crack of dawn and made him run to the big tree in the middle of the forest. It was 13 miles there and back. So let's just say Percy toughened up very quickly. Today was the last day they'd be in the forest. It was time for Percy to finally get his long awaited sword.
"Well Percy, I'm impressed. You've gotten a lot stronger in these past two months. it's finally time for you to pick a sword. (AN: we're just gonna pretend that Naruto can make swords from his chakra because I don't really have an explanation for it, okay? Okay.) Naruto produced 4 swords with a wave of his hand and a pulse of chakra. The first one was a very executioner style heavy blade, the second sword was a small black tanto with a wooden handle, the third sword was a long two-handed double edged sword, and the fourth sword was a black katana blade with a white handle. Percy looked like a kid in a candy store. He ran to the first sword. The executioner style blade, and picked it up, it felt balanced but the blade was too big. He needed something less flashy and more for stealth.
He picked up the second blade, the small tanto and gave it a couple practice swings. It was good for stealth but it was more of a assassination type blade and wasn't effective at long range. He went to the third sword and gave it couple practice swings. He really liked this one, but it had the same problem as the first. When he picked up the last one, he knew that this one would be the one. It was stealthy, not too flashy, and great at medium or long range. Also he thought the black blade was really cool with the white handle.
This time when he picked up the blade he felt it hum in his hand. Yep, this one was the one.
"Hmm, that ones interesting perce, try and channel wind chakra into it." Percy raised an eyebrow and did what he asked him to. Suddenly the blade gained a blueish hue and hummed in his hand once again. Percy was mesmerized. "Now go and try to cut that tree in half." Said Naruto with a smirk. Percy went to the nearest tree and gave it a swift horizontal slice. When he stepped back and stopped channeling chakra into the blade he realized that the tree looked like he'd never even touched it. He looked back at naruto with confusion in his eyes. Naruto gave him a look that said 'just wait for it'. Percy looked back to the tree as it slowly groaned, slid cleanly from the stump and fell with a big Boom!
Percy grinned, he loved this sword already.
(AN: alriiiiiiightyyy, this took like way too long to write because of procrastination. So enjoy. Until next time.
