Chapter 12: Fox Healing Jutsu
Naruto and Kurama came into a clearing safe enough away from Kakashi and the others.
"Alright Kurama-sensei, what will we be doing today?" Naruto asked as he looked over to where Kurama was standing.
"I will be teaching you the third Fox Jutsu, Fox Healing." Kurama answered and Naruto furrowed his brows with confusion.
"Fox Healing? Isn't that a healing Jutsu?" Naruto asked as he turned to fully face Kurama.
"Yes it is."
"Then why are you teaching it to me?" Naruto asked with a confused frown. "Aren't you only teaching me Jutsu's for fighting?"
"That is true, but sometimes it's good to know how to heal something or someone." Kurama answered. "So do you want to learn or not?"
"Yes…" Naruto mumbled.
"Alright. This Jutsu might be a little hard for you but you'll learn it eventually." Kurama started and Naruto nodded to show he was listening. "Okay, to start off, you concentrate your chakra into your hands, enough to where it will be visible. Then, you add some of my chakra in it which turns it into a more powerful healing Jutsu and it's more effective."
"Okay, I get all of that, but what do you mean it might be a little lard to learn?" Naruto asked as he stared at Kurama with confusion.
"Well, it isn't like other Jutsu's. So far I've taught you fighting Jutsu's and some Taijutsu so you aren't use to gentle things like this. You need to be calm and even out your chakra and my little bit you borrowed for this Jutsu. It'll be hard for you." Kurama explained and Naruto let out an annoyed groan.
"Okay…but how do I practice?" Naruto asked and Kurama smirked. He stood up and padded deeper in the forest leaving Naruto alone in the clearing. Naruto just rolled his eyes and stood there impatiently waiting for Kurama to return.
After a few minutes Kurama came back holding a robin carefully in his jaws so he didn't crush it. Blood was dripping down one of its wings and its eyes were wide with fear. Kurama dropped it on the ground in front of Naruto and stepped back.
"You will use this bird to practice." Kurama said as he sat down. Naruto knelt down in front of the bird who was too petrified to move. It just followed Naruto's every movement with its eyes.
"What happens if I fail?" Naruto asked as he looked up from the bird at Kurama.
"The bird dies." Kurama replied simply. "But don't worry, if you fail, there are plenty of other birds in this forest I could catch. Maybe a few rabbits."
"That isn't the point," Naruto argued as he narrowed his eyes at Kurama. "I can't just kill this poor bird if I mess up. Isn't there anything else I could use? Besides an animal."
"Nope." Kurama replied with the shake of his head. "If you don't want it to die then don't mess up."
"It isn't that simple…" Naruto muttered under his breath as he placed his hands a few inches above the bird. He closed his eyes and concentrated the best he could. He focused chakra into his hands and felt the chakra build up and grow stronger and stronger until it was clearly visible for anyone else who had normal eyes. Then, he took some of Kurama's chakra and added it into the mix. He opened his eyes and concentrated on trying to heal the gash on the birds' wing created by Kurama. A few seconds later the bird went limp.
"Well, looks like you failed." Kurama said with a shrug. "I'll go get another bird."
Naruto watched with a frown as Kurama stood up and padded back into the forest. He then looked down at the dead bird laying on the ground in front of him. He carefully picked it up and took it over to the edge of the clearing. He then walked back over to where he was before and waited for Kurama to return with the next injured bird.
