Chapter-34

Sakura woke up a little early to meditate for a longer duration. She went down and made some breakfast for herself and then came back in her room. She sat on the floor again a=with her back to the window and leaned against the bed. Then she started focusing. She could feel that since she time travelled, the chakra at the chakra she had right now is 10 times larger. I need to reach 20 percent. Only then will I be able to rule our using my seal for help.

She sat there for 5 hours, just meditating and focusing on gathering energy from within and fusing it with her chakra. Finally, she was tired and bored so she got up and stretched a little. She exercised in her room for 1 hour. Finally it was time for lunch. She went down and greeted her parents and sat to eat with them. She really loved these moments. Watching the smiles of the people she loved. This is what I have to protect. And I will. After lunch she bid goodbye to her parents and decided to go to the library. She thought she should find whatever she could about the curse mark. She sat there 2 hours and not even a single book had anything about this damn mark. She re racked the books and went out.

She roamed around the market and made her way to the training grounds. She found that nobody was there which was a relief. She stretched a little and then she put on her gloves. She ran towards the forest and started hitting tree by tree breaking them apart. Continued that for 1 hour. Gradually her reserves were increasing as she trained. By the looks of it, the amount which was my 100 percent before, today its 85 percent. Not bad for 3 months of practice. But I will reach 100 percent by the end of this month. She took a break and drank some water. Then she rose up and started kicking in every angle. My kicks are as good as the old ones. All I have to focus on is punches. I also need to spar with somebody but everybody is busy. What should I do?

Suddenly Kakashi appeared in front of her.

"Hey Sakura!"

"Hello Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi looked around at the destruction and got chills by thinking what would happen If he actually ever got hit by her punches.

"Well looks like you're training is going good. Need any help?"

"Um actually yes, I need to practice since it's not my strong suit but nobody is available."

"hm… taijutsu. I'll see what I can do. What are you going to do now?"

"There aren't big rocks or walls here to practice breaking them. Ah I wish I could create them on my own or something." She groaned in frustration.

Kakashi smiled and gave a small laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Sakura quizzically

"Because you forgot there are many more ninjutsu than just medical ninjutsu. Why don't you try learning Doton? i can teach you that. And you're pretty old anyway so you know how to handle and correct your mistake. It will become natural after a tries." Sakura nodded happily.

They both came out of the forest, into the clearing. Then Kakashi told Sakura the weaving signs.

"Now after weaving signs, put your hands on the ground quickly and send the chakra in the ground and keep your hands steady. And there will be a wall in front of you. Simple enough, right?"

"I don't know. But I'll definitely learn it" she exclaimed with ferocious determination.

Kakashi just smiled at her and told her to do as he did. Sakura weaved signs crouched on the ground and sent her chakra in the soil. The ground shook a little and then there stood a medium sized wall in front of Sakura. she turned back an grinned at Kakashi .

"Well done, Sakura. I'm really impressed that you could make more than half a wall in one try. If you keep practicing then you will become and expert. It shouldn't take you very long, though. You're a fast learner."

Sakura blushed a little and said a quiet thank you.

"well my break's over. Sorry Sakura I have to go. Sasuke will be there any minute."

"Sure. Thank you sensei! Bye"

"bye" and then he went poof.

Yes, a new technique. Now I can do so many things! She felt happy and went back to training.

A week passed by in jiffy.

Naruto was waiting for Jiraiya to stop looking at girls so they could start their training. Finally he got frustrated and transformed in to a cute blonde hair girl. Jiraiyia looked at him and started drooling. Naruto undid the jutsu and Jiraiya frowned.

"Come on, pervy sage! Training!"

"Yeah, yeah. Okay. Come on."

They stood by the river so they had enough space.

"Allright brat. I will teach you Kuchiyoseno Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu). It works like this, you make a contract with any ninja animals and when you call them, they will be presented right in font of you. Then you can use them in fights. "

"THAT'S SO COOOOL!"

"I am a toad sage so im going to make your contract with toads. Alright?"

"Yeah, yeah no problem" Naruto grinned

Jiraiya took out a huge scroll and opened it. He told Naruto to write his name in blood and then as a signature leave the prints of the tip of the finger. Naruto cut his thumb and did as he was told to do.

"Okay. Now learn the hand sign by watching me. Got it?"

"Hmm"

Jiraiya took some of his blood, made the signs and pressed his hand on the ground. The jutsu formula appeared on the ground and suddenly a giant frog came behind Naruto.

"WOW! Its so big! I wanna try too."

"Go ahead."

Now lets see if you are talented enough or not. Thought Jiraiya with a smirk.
Naruto took his blood from the finger, wove the sign and slammed his hand on the ground. Feeling excited he looked around but no toad came.

"Hey pervy sage, no toad appeared. Did I do It wrong?"

Jiraiya although looked completely blown away by Naruto's incapability.

"Look where you summoned the toad."

Naruto squinted and saw a larva of frog. He looked embarrassed and said he would try again. And this kept on going for two hours. "Finally" Naruto screamed. Jiraiya shot up and looked around.

"I don't see anything Naruto."

"Come here. Come here. Look at this."

It was again a tadpole.

"It's the same thing, you idiot!"

"No, NO! look closely it has fins!" Jiraiya's eyebrow twitched as he looked at Naruto's stupid grin. This brat has no talent.

Naturally after summoning so many toads (or should we say tadpoles), Naruto was exhausted and out of chakra.

"Rest, Naruto. You don't have any chakra left."

"I'm fine. I can do this all day. I have the more chakra than anybody."

That is true… he is a jinchuriki. Hmm lets approach it from a different angle.

"Naruto come here."

"what is it?" he asked as he sat beside him.

" Have you ever felt that you have two types of chakras inside you?"

"hmmm now that I think about it, yeah are sometimes when it happens. Mostly when im totally drained or on the verge of dying."

"Okay how do you differentiate it from your normal chakra?"

"well if I say that my normal chakra is blue, then this other chakra is red."

"Okay Naruto. Listen. To summon a big creature you need just as much chakra. That's why you cant summon toads. You are not applying enough chakra. First drain yourself and then use that red chakra."

"mmm okay"

He tried everything but it didn't work. So Jiraiya took him and threw him into a deep valley.

"If you wanna survive, summon a toad, o die"

"Stupid geezer. What did you do?!"

Naruto screamed and then he felt the red chakra. It's now or never. 'Kuchiyoseno Jutsu'

A large toad came and cushioned Naruto's fall. AH thank god. I'm alive. Then the toad spoke

"Who the hell are you , brat? Where's Jiraiya?"

"Hey, I summond you not him!"

This kid was able to summon me? He must be talented.

"whats your name kid? I am Gamabunta."

"Im Uzumaki Naruto! Im going to be the Hokage!"

Gamabunta chuckled at his declaration and jumped out of the valley.

Shit. Why did you summon him of all people!

And then Jiraiya left. He said, "your training is over. but you should focus on your two chakras and make them usable whenever and whichever one you want. It wont be easy but you have 3 weeks. So good luck." And then he left.

Sasuke formed another Chidori but before he could move forward it vanished from his hand.

"Tch. Damn it."

"Don't be so impatient. It will take time. It has only been a week."

"hn"

Ah… his pride will ruin him. Kakashi thought amusingly.

I wonder what's Sakura doing… I haven't seen her at all.

As much as Sasuke hate to admit it, he missed her company. He just scowled siting on the ground.

Kakashi noticed him and understood he was thinking about Sakura.

"Sakura has found a great partner. They meet daily"

At hearing this Sasuke whirled around and Kakashi saw him looking at him wide eyed and gaping at him.

"what's the matter, Sasuke?"

"Hn. Nothing" but inside he was furious and he didn't know why.

"I introduced him to her and like each other quite a lot. They are very compatible."

"shut up." Said Sasuke with his eyes hidden and head down. Kakashi decided to give him a break.

"He's great at taijutsu. Sakura wantd to train in taijutsu but since no one was available I asked him to instruct her. They get along well."

Sasuke thought that a heavy weight disappeared from him. But why do I care? He got up formed another Chidori but it failed again. Im not gonna lose to anybody! And he continued.
