Chapter 12 – New Training
"Talk"
'Think'
To Oblivion168 and Naruto fan, thank you for your comments
Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Kishimoto sensei. So…yeah.
Naruto and Noriko were sparring when Shisui appeared "Shisui-ojisan!" they yelled and ran to him.
"Training hard? Where's oneesan?"
"Okaasan is at the hospital" replied Noriko
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to help Hokage-ojisan? Are you going to train me? Asked Naruto excitedly
"I'm on a break from helping Hokage-sama, so I thought I'd like to check on you guys. Why don't both of you spar again so I can see"
"Hait" they said and went into stance before sparring.
After the spar, Shisui commented "I can see you've improved your agility, Noriko and Naruto, good job on making full use of your surrounding". Both Naruto and Noriko beamed proudly.
"Noriko, can you show me your dōjutsus?" asked Shisui.
"Yeah" said Noriko. She closed her eyes and performed hand seals "byaku-sharingan!". A pair of red and white eyes appeared.
"Creepy" said Naruto at which Noriko gave him a glare "Ack! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" shouted Naruto as he ran behind Shisui.
"I'm curious, what are you seeing?" asked Shisui.
"Well, instead of normal colour, it's a bit reddish and grayish. And I can see blue lines inside you and Naruto…" Noriko frowned a little "Naruto also has blue lines inside him and a bit of orange at his stomach" she looked at herself "hey! I can see blue lines inside me, and I have the orange colour too!"
'Uh uh' thought Shisui.
Noriko deactivated her dōjutsus "I can only activate it for a few minutes. What's the blue lines Shisui-ojisan? Why yours all blue and Naruto and I have the orange colour one?"
"The blue lines that you see is called chakra pathway inside all of us" answered Shisui "I am not sure how to tell you about the orange chakra. Why don't I ask the Hokage and get back to you?" Shisui said while thinking 'those are the effect from byakugan'.
Shisui then performed hand seals and said "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu". Another Shisui appeared.
"That is soo cool!" yelled Naruto "Can you teach me? Can you? Can you? Please please please. I can kick Noriko's butt then" to which Noriko responded by a whack, followed by "Owwww".
Shisui smiled at their antics and said "Noriko, I want you to activate your dōjutsus again and describe to me my fight".
"Okay" replied Noriko with some curiosity. She activated her dōjutsus and watched as Shisui sparred with his clone "One of you is punching while the other avoided and do a snake-ram-monkey-boar-horse-tiger seals and WOW! That is awesome Shisui-ojisan! Can you teach me that? I can so burn Naruto's butt now" Noriko said gleefully followed with a "Hey!" from Naruto.
Shisui sweat-dropped and released his clone. 'I should just fight normally' he thought 'Her description on the hand seals was sharingan's ability. So she can utilize both abilities. Pity she was not an official Hyūga. Pity? Or good? If she's a Hyūga would they seal her? Heiji was from a branch family. Would the seal affect her sharingan? Wonder what is the limitation of having one dōjutsu in one eye instead of two'
Shisui was deep in his thought that he faintly heard "Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi!" 'Say what?' he was broken out of his thought before he felt a weird sensation in his nether region.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" yelled Shishui as he punched Naruto's head.
"OWWW! That's hurt! Kakashi-ojisan taught me that" pouted Naruto as he rubbed his head.
"Kakashi taught you what?" Shisui growled.
"He said it's a secret technique passed down in Konoha for generations" said Noriko "I thought it's disgusting. Naruto, go wash your hand"
Naruto grinned evilly. He hold out his hand to Noriko"You wanna shake my hand?" "Euw, NO!" "Shake?" "NO! Get away from me!" Just a bit" "Grrr…" followed by a punch and another "Owwww".
Shisui sighed. His sister was a saint for putting up with them. He almost felt pity for the Kyūbi for being stuck in them.
"Who wants ramen for lunch?" Shisui asked "Me!" Naruto and Noriko said simultaneously.
"Shisui-ojisan" called Naruto over ramen "Why are you asking Noriko about her dōjutsus?"
"I'm curious. Noriko is the first to have both byakugan and sharingan. Before this, the Hyūga never married the Uchiha and vice versa because they feared that one dōjutsu would triumph the other, or the union would cause the dōjutsu to be defected. But they never thought of a progeny with both byakugan and sharingan.
"What so special about them?" asked Naruto curiously
"Well, byakugan allows you to see the chakra pathway as well as through the building, For example, if there is an enemy shinobi hiding in the next shop, byakugan-user can see them, so having byakugan is good if you are chasing after bad guy or in the enemy territory" explained Shisui.
"Meanwhile" he continued "sharingan allows you to see enemy's movement so you can evade or use appropriate counter-moves. Additionally, sharingan-user can cast genjutsu on other people through eye contact as well as can detect if a genjutsu is being casted"
"Wahh Noriko, your eyes is so awesome" exclaimed Naruto.
"I thought you said they are creepy?"
"They look creepy but they are still awesome" Naruto said before he thought of something "aww, this means Noriko going to be more awesome. I guess I have to work more and more to beat you"
Shisui chuckled "Maybe, maybe not".
"What do you mean Shisui-ojisan?" asked Noriko
"I'm saying that while Naruto is moving forward with his training, you may have to re-work on your basics"
"Huh?"
"This is just my thinking. Byakugan can see chakra network as well as tenketsu or chakra point" seeing the blank look, Shisui added "tenketsu is the place where chakra is release from chakra pathway. They are too small that even sharingan cannot see them"
"The Hyūga created Jūken which compliments their byakugan" Shisui continued "Unfortunately, since you are not an official Hyūga, you are not allowed to learn Jūken from them. Nevertheless, Hiashi-sama has been kind enough to tell you the basic principal of Jūken. First, a Hyūga learns how to release chakra from any or all of their tenketsu. Second, by learning how to release chakra from your tenketsu, you can use it to attack your opponents tenketsu so they cannot use their chakra"
"So, if you decided to attack your opponent's tenketsu, you only need your byakugan, not your sharingan. Similarly, if you want to see if an area was casted with genjutsu, you only need your sharingan, not your byakugan" explained Shisui.
"For that reason, I think first you need to learn how to activate one dōjutsu at a time, as well as both. Then see if you can switch from one dōjutsu to another to both dōjutsus. Start slowly, don't rush. Once you can activate and deactivate easily, then practice duration, how long you can activate one at a time, or both" said Shisui.
"At the same time, learn how to fight using one eye only, and then switch to another, and then both" he continued and added a smile "Naruto can help you with this one"
Noriko gawked "I need to do all that?"
"It's up to you. I have explained to you my reasoning. Like I said, you are the first to have both byakugan and sharingan. So your training is a bit trial and error thingy. If you want, why don't you talk with Kakashi-san? He is the only non-Uchiha with a sharingan in his left eye" suggested Shisui.
"Okay" said Noriko with uncertainty.
"I know it's hard" said Shisui gently "but look on the bright side, you've got at least 6 years before you'll become genin, unless u graduate early" he added "so 6 years to train. That is plenty of time for you to be strong. In fact, since you have to practice until proficient for 3 times, maybe by the time you've finished, you can kick Naruto's butt to Suna " Shisui grinned and winked.
"Hey!" Naruto protested indignantly "What about me Shisui-ojisan. What do I need to practice?"
"More endurance exercises, taijutsu and this time, I want you to last more than 1 minute when fighting me or Kosuke-san or Keiko-san. But mainly your chakra control-"
"Again?!"
Shisui looked at Naruto's blue eyes and said "Yes, and probably for a long, long time. You see Naruto, for a 5 years-old, your chakra is way to high, it's as almost as much as a jōnin-"
"Whaaaat!" the big round blue eyes sparkled "Yeay! I'm awesome! I'm awesome"
"Yes, yes, you are, but unfortunately, it also makes your chakra control much much more difficult. How about this, once you've got your control to a decent level, I'll teach that cool jutsu you saw" offered Shisui.
"Deal"
