Last time
"Jokes aside. Yes I will train you. So get ready to be put through the wringer by the great Jiraiya-sama!" Jiraiya said with seriously with a smirk on his face.
"Jiraiya? You mean…" Naruko said before her eyes went very wide.
"Yes Densetsu no Sannin, Jiraiya!" Jiraiya said holding his thump up.
Chapter 19
"So the first Sannin I meet is a paedophilia snake with an identity problem and now the second one I meet is a paedophilia perverted toad. What's the third one? A drunken slug?" Naruko said deadpanning at Jiraiya making a certain someone sneeze.
"I'm not into that!" Jiraiya shouted back with a tick mark in his forehead.
"Yea yea whatever you say," Naruko said making Jiraiya's eye twitch.
"Follow me we are going to start your training," Jiraiya said before turning around and walking off.
-Training ground 15-
"Before we start you should know that Kakashi told me everything about you including Kyūbi and your father," Jiraiya said surprising Naruko a bit.
"So he really did tell you everything," Naruko said while making a bunshin.
The bunshin shifted into Minato before smiling at Jiraiya.
"Sensei it's good to see you again," Minato said with a smile.
"Minato it really is you," Jiraiya replied with disbelief.
"Yes it's me sensei," Minato said with a nod before turning to face Naruko.
"Sensei?" Naruko asked hearing her father say sensei.
"Yip he was my jōnin instructor," Minato answered.
"Now back to your training before we get side tracked here. We don't have a lot of time," Jiraiya said getting Naruko's attention.
"This first one shouldn't take long," Jiraiya said while taking the large scroll of his back on putting in on the ground before unrolling it.
Naruko saw a list of people with their hand print beneath their names. Naruko saw that the last two were her farther and Jiraiya.
"This is the contract for the toads of Mount Myobokugama. With this you can summon toads to aid you in battle," Jiraiya explained.
"Write your name here in blood like the rest," Jiraiya told Naruko as she bite her thumb and started writing her name.
"With your chakra reserves both Minato and I will be teaching you jutsus that can make uses of this, rather than focus on your chakra control," Jiraiya explained while Naruko signed the contract.
Jiraiya rolled up the contract and placed on his back when Naruko finished signing the contract.
"To summon bite you thumb and spread the blood across your palm before going through the hand seals; I, Inu, Tori, Saru and Hitsuji. Like this," Jiraiya explained.
Jiraiya bite his thumb before going through the hand seals then slamming his hand on the ground.
"Ninpō: Kuchiyose no jutsu!" Jiraiya called out while black markings appeared beneath his hand.
Jiraiya disappeared in a puff of smoke once the smoke cleared and Naruko saw him standing on a large toad about the size of Minato and Jiraiya.
"Wow that's cool," Naruko beamed before the toad disappeared in a puff of smoke and Jiraiya landed on the ground.
"Now you try. Remember you need the blood as a sacrifice and pour as much chakra as you can into the jutsu," Jiraiya explained.
Naruko nodded while biting her thumb and spreading the blood across her palm before going through the hand seals, pouring in as much chakra as she could and slammed her hand down on to the ground.
"Ninpō: Kuchiyose no jutsu!" Naruko called out before a large puff of smoke appeared to which Minato and Jiraiya disappeared knowing who Naruko summoned.
"I didn't think she could get him on the first try. You only managed on your third try," Jiraiya said to Minato.
"Well she is talented and has a lot of chakra," Minato replied while rubbing the back of his head and chuckling awkwardly.
Once the smoke cleared Naruko landed on something hard before looking forward and seeing two big eyes staring at her. Naruko had landed on the nose of the giant orange toad that was around the same size as Shukaku and Kurama. The toad is wearing an open shirt and a huge sword on his hip.
"Who are you, and where is Jiraiya? He has some nerve summoning me after the last time," the toad spoke loudly while looking around for Jiraiya.
"I don't know where Ero-Sennin is and I'm the one who summoned you," Naruko said while standing up.
"Ero-Sennin? Bahahaha good name for the old man kid," the toad said with a laugh.
"So why did he summon me?" the toad asked Naruko.
"Are you deaf? I'm the one who summoned you," Naruko said a little annoyed.
"You?"
*Sniff* *Sniff*
"What is Jiraiya thinking allowing your kind to sign the contract?" the toad said with a bit of anger in his voice.
"My kind? Why do you have a problem with my kind?" Naruko asked sternly while looking hard into the toad's eye.
"You have some nerve speaking to me in such a tone, filth. And yes I have a problem. Your kind is nothing but a bunch of degraded demons that live for the thrill of death and destruction," the toad said in a harsh tone while narrowing his eyes on Naruko.
"Filth? Oi you piece of shit! I'm not some stain or plague. You have no right to judge someone before you have even attempted to get to know the person. I may be a hanyou but that doesn't mean I'm some evil thing that wants to destroy things," Naruko shot back in a tone of anger.
"Why you! You dare speak to Gamabunta like that? Why should I care? You and your kind bring and care for nothing but death and destruction even more so than demons," Gamabunta said in a low threating tone.
"Don't care who you are. I'm not some destruction hungry creature. Ero-Sennin allowed me to sign the contract and I summoned you," Naruko replied back ignoring Gamabunta's tone.
"I don't care I will never accept you as my summoner or master. Now get off me before I make you," Gamabunta said threating Naruko.
"Gamabunta that's enough," Jiraiya said landing on top of Gamabunta's head.
"Jiraiya what is the meaning of this, allowing that to summon me," Gamabunta asked in a less threating tone towards Jiraiya.
"That girl is Minato's daughter. And do you really think I would just let anyone sign the contract?" Jiraiya said not happy with Gamabunta.
"How is she a hanyou? Last I checked both Minato and Kushina were human," Gamabunta asked while Naruko wondered who Kushina was.
"Yes they were human. Naruko used to be human but due to her having Kyūbi sealed in her she had to be turned into a hanyou else she would of died," Jiraiya explained.
"Wait this is the kid Minato sealed Kyūbi in?" Gamabunta asked.
"Yes she is. Minato would be very disappointed in you. Now will you still allow her to summon you or not," Jiraiya.
"Don't bother. I don't care for his answer," Naruko said plainly before turning around and heading towards the end of Gamabunta's nose.
"Naruko wait," Jiraiya shouted making Naruko stop and turn to face Jiraiya.
"Why? I don't need someone like him as my summon. Even if he will allow me it's only because he now knows who my father is. I hate people like him who are quick to judge and label others just because of what they are," Naruko shouted back while point at Gamabunta.
"I didn't ask to be turned into a hanyou and I certainly didn't ask to have Kyūbi sealed in me. Even after all the stories I have heard about Kyūbi I still didn't judge him and saw him for who he is, not what he isn't or is perceived to be," Naruko shouted out in anger.
She was really tired and annoyed at people always judging and labelling. Jiraiya at this point was quiet along with Gamabunta who was feeling guilty.
"Say he allowed me to someone him or other toads, what's to stop them from doing what he did when I first summoned him?" Naruko shouted out.
"I am the chief summon of Mount Myōbokuzan and all the toads trust my judgement in who I allow to summon them," Gamabunta answered.
"I Gamabunta of Mount Myōbokuzan will allow you to summon the toads of Mount Myōbokuzan," he continued saying making Jiraiya smile.
"But why? I thought I was filth and that you didn't care and would never accept me as your summoner so why now?" Naruko asked with an emotionless face.
"Because Jiraiya finds you worthy and I trust his judgment in who he allows to sign the contract," Gamabunta replied.
"If you really trusted Jiraiya's word and judgment then we wouldn't be having this problem. Besides why should I summon you and your toads? For power? Don't need or want it. I'm looking for strength." Naruko responded not impressed at all.
"For aid when I need it? I already have friends and Kyū-chan for that," Naruko continued.
"Because it's a privilege? Screw you I'll look somewhere else. So tell me why should I summon you?" Naruko asked starting to shout again.
"Naruko that's enough," Jiraiya said sternly.
"No Jiraiya she's right. I let my hatred and past cloud my judgment. I know that you would only allow someone you trust and see as worthy to sign the contract. As to why you should summon us? I don't have an answer for you," Gamabunta said shaking his head slowly before lowering his head allowing Jiraiya and Naruko to get off.
"As I said you are more than welcome to summon us if you so choose. Please accept my apology for how I acted Naruko. And Jiraiya sorry for ever doubting you word," Gamabunta said before disappearing in a poof of smoke.
"Naruko just give Bunta a chance. The toads are the strongest summon you can get. Bunta does have a reason to hate hanyous. His family and brother were killed by a group of them just for the pleasure of it," Jiraiya explained to Naruko.
"So? The death of my parents was because of some greedy human was looking for power and I don't go insulting and judging humans. I'll give him another chance but not now, I need to calm down first," Naruko replied while Minato walked to their location.
Jiraiya nodded and hoped that all will go well.
"So what else do you have for training?" Naruko asked wanting to get her training underway.
"You are now going to be doing your normal fitness training but you are going to double it," Jiraiya told Naruko while taking out a small piece of cloth.
"What's that for?" Naruko asked a bit confused.
"Because Kakashi forgot to give you your weights back you will be using this. It has a gravity seal on it. It acts the roughly same as a resistance seal which is also on here," Jiraiya said seeing Naruko's confusion before giving her the piece of cloth.
"Tie it around your arm so I can activate the seals," Jiraiya said to which Naruko did what she was told and tied the seal around her right arm.
Jiraiya made a half Tora seal and activated the two seals on the piece of cloth. Naruko instantly felt the effects and was forced to her knees while using her hands to stop her from planting her face into the ground. Naruko tried moving but felt it very difficult due to the resistance and added weight.
"Ahh! What the hell is this thing?" Naruko asked while slowly trying to stand up.
"The seals on there aren't your normal gravity and resistance seals. I have tuned them so that the will automatically increase weight and resistance as you start to get used to the current weight and resistance," Jiraiya explained while he watched Naruko stand up slowly and surely.
"I estimate that it's like having your weights at around 350kg a piece so you weight around 1750kg. For your resistance I'd say it makes it ten times hard for you to move," Jiraiya said with a smirk making Naruko's eyes go wide.
"So hop to it. You need to do two sessions of your fitness training. This will give both Minato and I time to set out a training schedule for you," Jiraiya said to which Naruko mumbled and grumbled while slowly walking off.
"Oh what's that? Did you say increase the weight and resistance? Oh sure here you go. Now you can enjoy 1875kg and it's now twenty times harder for you to move," Jiraiya said while holding half Tora seal and increasing the resistance and gravity seals on Naruko.
Naruko fumbled back down to the ground while mental cursing at Jiraiya before getting back up slowly and starting her normal fitness training.
-Four hours later-
It took Naruko an agonising four hours to complete two sessions of her fitness training. Naruko slowly made her way back to Jiraiya and Minato who were talking to each other and laughing a few times.
Naruko stopped in front of Jiraiya and her father with an 'I hate you' expression on her face.
"That took a bit longer than you expected didn't it?" Jiraiya asked with a grin seeing Naruko look a bit tired making her eye twitch.
Naruko refrained from saying anything knowing what Jiraiya might do.
"Seeing as we a have only around three hours left to train you are going to complete your lightning seishitsu henka training. So make as many bunshins as you can," Jiraiya said to which Naruko sighed before nodding.
Naruko made a half Tora seal before around two thousand bunshin appeared in a poof of smoke covering the area with Naruko's.
"Right the original come with me, we will be doing additional training," Jiraiya said while walk off.
Naruko followed Jiraiya and Minato where they stopped a few metres away from the ocean of Naruko's.
"Now his next jutsu has three steps to it. The first step is rotation. To pass the first step you need to pop this water balloon. Here watch," Jiraiya said while unsealing a few water balloons.
Jiraiya took one of water balloon and held it in one hand. Two seconds later the water balloon shook while it stretched and retracted all over before bursting leaving almost no trace of the balloon or the water inside it.
"Using your chakra you must make the water inside spin and make it pop," Jiraiya told Naruko while giving her a water balloon.
Taking the balloon Naruko held it in her right hand before concentrating and making the water spin anti-clockwise. Meanwhile increasing the speed of the rotations making the balloon bulge out so it was more oval in shape. While increasing the speed further, and seeing that it hasn't popped yet.
Naruko stopped her follow of chakra to think a bit of why the balloon isn't popping.
'Why isn't it popping? Mine looks a bit different then why Ero-Sennin did it. His had multiply bulges mine only had one. I'll ask him to demonstrate again and see what I can learn from it,' Naruko thought.
Naruko looked up and saw Jiraiya sitting underneath a tree writing something on a notepad. Naruko walked up to Jiraiya partly wondering what he was writing but left it for now as there were more important things to worry about.
"Ero-Sennin, can you please demonstrate it again? I want to see something," Naruko asked looking down on Jiraiya.
"Don't call me that dammit. Kids have no respect these days," he grumbled while standing up.
"Yea yea, so can you demonstrate again please?" Naruko asked again ignoring Jiraiya's complaining.
"Yes, just bring it here," Jiraiya said before taking the balloon from Naruko.
Jiraiya concentrated for a bit before the balloon bulged all over than popped with a small bang. Naruko watched carefully trying to see what was different and how Jiraiya made the balloon bulge all over like it did.
'He makes it bulge in random areas and the bulges only stay for a short time before appearing somewhere else. I was making the water spin in one direction and I got one continuous bulge.' Naruko thought.
"So you happy now?" Jiraiya asked.
"Yes I think so," Naruko said before Jiraiya threw another water balloon at Naruko.
Naruko caught the balloon before using her chakra and making the water inside spin anti-clockwise for a few seconds.
'Yea it's one continuous bulge. But how do I make my chakra flow in more than one direction?' Naruko thought while looking deeply at the balloon.
"Hey Ero-Sennin. How do I get my chakra to rotate in random direction at the same time?" Naruko asked.
"Hō? So you figured that bit did you? Well you will have to figure that out for yourself," Jiraiya replied with a grin.
'She figured that out within a few minutes. She might just surpass you, Minato,' Jiraiya thought while Naruko went back to her training.
For the next three hours Naruko continued trying to master the first step of her new jutsu while her bunshins had managed to master her lightning seishitsu henka training but continued to practise for the next hour.
"Right you can stop now Naruko. We'll continue this tomorrow and you better be here by 0500 hours. You don't want to know what will happen if you don't," Jiraiya said to Naruko with an evil grin.
"Hai," Naruko said refraining from complaining knowing what might happen if she did.
Naruko ran off heading home to relax from today's hectic and busy day.
-Kakashi & Naruko's home-
*Sigh* 'It's quite without Kakashi-nii,' Naruko thought with a sigh.
"Oi kit. I need to speak to you now hurry up and enter the seal," Kurama said to Naruko.
"Hai hai," Naruko mumbled wondering what was so important.
-Inside the seal-
Naruko entered the seal and made her way to Kurama before sitting down and leaning up against him. Naruko started patting one of Kurama's tails and enjoy the company.
"So what did you want to speak about?" Naruko asked while still patting one of Kurama's tails.
"While you were talking to the old man he said that Orochimaru was researching into immortally. I must tell you that to a degree you are immortal. Your demon half stops you from aging and becoming sick. Basically you cannot die from old age or diseases," Kurama explained.
Naruko's eyes went wide at this before turning to face Kurama.
"When you reach around seventeen or eighteen your body will stop aging so you won't get old or die from old age. That being said you can still be killed but it will be very difficult. With your regeneration added with mine you would have to be killed instantly or obliterated," Kurama explained further.
"Well that's good to know. So you are saying I should watch myself around that snake bastard," Naruko replied after a few seconds of taking it all in.
"No I am saying you are better off killing him but that might be harder than you expect it to be," Kurama responded.
"That's all I wanted to say about that. Now for the other reason. I will be teaching you a few new things. The first is how to access and control your demon chakra. You are currently using your human side chakra," Kurama said making Naruko excited.
"Now that you have defeated your evil self you can now learn to control your demon chakra without losing yourself. Unlike your normal chakra, demon chakra is more destructive and more powerful in nature but it's a lot harder to control or even use,"
"Later when you can control your demon chakra I will teach you how to combine it with your human chakra," Kurama explained.
"So I have two sets of chakra I can use? Wow that's useful," Naruko said surprised yet again.
"No you have three sets. The third being mine," Kurama correct Naruko making her smile softly.
"Minato can you make a seal that will stop chakra from escaping this room. The last thing we need is this village panicking when Naruko summons her demon chakra," Kurama asked confusing Naruko a bit.
Before Naruko could ask Kurama kicked her out the seal sending her back into the real world.
-Real world Naruko's room-
"Hey Kurama I was about ask you something," Naruko complained out loud.
"I know what you were going ask. Just like I can communicate with you I can communicate with your father," Kurama replied to Naruko's unspoken question.
Right on que a yellow flash appeared in front of Naruko and Minato appeared from the flash making Naruko's eyes go wide at seeing the jutsu that made her father famous and feared.
"Tou-san please teach me how to do that. That was really cool," Naruko asked with stars in her eyes.
"Why do you think I had you studying all those Fūinjutsu books you got," Minato replied with a smile.
"Yatta!" Naruko said while jumping up and down.
Minato quickly made multiply seals and placed them around the house and within a few minutes he was finished placing all the seals.
"There that will stop any and all chakra from escaping this room when activated. It will also stop people from seeing into the room so remember to deactivated when you are finished," Minato explained before holding a half Tora seal and activating the seals.
"You should know how to activate and deactivate them. I will be with Jiraiya, see you tomorrow Naru-chan," Minato happily said.
"Thank you see you tomorrow Tou-san," Naruko said while waving before Minato disappeared in a yellow flash.
"Now that that's sorted we can start your night time training. To access your demon chakra you must concentrate and find it. Just like you did when you first accessed your normal chakra. Once you have found it, pull on it," Kurama explained and not giving room for Naruko to complain or moan about wanting to sleep.
Naruko sat down and crossed her legs before closing her eyes and concentrating on finding her demon chakra. It took Naruko awhile before she finally found her demon chakra and felt a bit stupid for not looking where her normal chakra was as her demon chakra was right next to it.
Naruko started pulling on it and instantly felt the difference. Her demon chakra was more violent and she could feel the surge of power starting to flow through her body. Naruko could feel herself become stronger to the point that she could barely feel the effects of the gravity seal on her.
Her senses also heightened while her claws and canines grow longer. Her hair and fur became wilder while her whisker birthmarks darkened and become more prominent. Naruko opened her eyes revealing gold eyes instead of blue ones.
Naruko looked into the mirror that was in front of her and saw that her hair and fur is a deeper gold colour than what it used to be.
"What has happened here is that you have now switch from using your normal chakra to using your demon chakra. You could say that this is your demon mode. To go back to normal stop pulling on your demon chakra and pull on your human one instead," Kurama explained.
Naruko concentrated and pulled on her human chakra. Naruko's eyes returned to their normal blue colour while her hair returned to normal along with her claws, canines and whisker birthmarks. Naruko felt a lot of strength leave her body and her senses dulled.
"Wow that was quite the rush," Naruko commented really feeling the difference now that she is using her human chakra again.
"Yes it is that's why if you don't defeat your evil self you will lose yourself in that rush and go on a rampage. If you ever run out of human chakra you can switch to your demon chakra or switch to your human chakra should you run out of demon chakra," Kurama explained.
"But I have yet to actually run out of chakra. The only time I came close was when Kakashi really pushed me while I got used to using my Kaze no Yoroi," Naruko said and only remembering one time she came close to running out of chakra.
"We will have to change that won't we," Kurama replied making Naruko a bit nervous of what's to come.
"For the next hour continue to change between your human and demon chakra. You need to be able to change instantly and on the go," Kurama told Naruko giving her task for the next hour.
For the next hour Naruko practised changing between her two chakras. Now that she knew where her demon chakra was it was easier but she still had to focus to change between the two. By the end of the hour Naruko had improved but not as much as she was expecting and hoping.
"That's enough for now kit. You need rest for tomorrow. Trust me you are going to need all the rest you can get," Kurama said to Naruko ending the training session.
Naruko gulped no doubt expecting a hard long day.
-Next day, Training ground 15-
Naruko made sure to be at the training ground just before the allocated time. She was a bit sore and stiff not because of yesterday's fight and training. No she had partly forgot that she weights 1875kg thanks to the gravity that was on her.
She only remembered that fact when she climbed on to her bed. She discovered that her bed wasn't made for such heavy weights. Her bed gave away and caved in on her so she was forced to sleep on the floor as she no longer has a bed.
Naruko saw both Jiraiya and her father walking towards her while taking to each other. Naruko waited patiently for them to arrive before she saw the moon behind them remembering what will happen in about a week from now.
'It will be full moon soon. *Sigh* this going to interesting,' Naruko thought with a sigh.
"Good to see you are here early. At least you haven't picked up Kakashi's habit of being late," Jiraiya said knowing about Kakashi's habit.
"Yea I still can't believe it. He was the one who was always early and scolding Obito on being late," Minato said with a chuckle.
"Kakashi early? Though he is only on time when he trains us," Naruko replied quite surprised to hear that Kakashi used to be early and scold someone else for being late, she almost thought they were talking about someone completely different.
"Oh I should tell you at its full moon next week sometime. Kakashi did tell you about that?" Naruko said before wondering if Jiraiya knew about it.
"Yes like I said he told me everything and I mean everything, including a certain Uchiha," Jiraiya said with a mischievous grin while planning to do some research as he calls it.
Naruko blushed a bit though it disappeared seeing Jiraiya's expression.
"I hope you not thinking of using us for your search, Ji-rai-ya-sen-sei?" Naruko asked sweetly with a smile just as sweet.
Both Jiraiya and Minato shivered at Naruko's tone while they both had a few terrifying memories of a certain red head. Jiraiya nodded quickly while sweating slightly knowing that Naruko will follow through with any threats she gives out.
"No no no. There is no way I would think of that," Jiraiya said with a nervous smile.
"Right now on to your training schedule. First you will start off with doing two fitness session followed by chakra control exercises. Then you will come to me while a bunshin will go with your father. You will then end the day with another two fitness sessions," Jiraiya said giving Naruko her schedule for her training regime.
"So hop to, start running and so on," Jiraiya said making Naruko start right away.
So Naruko started running to the village wall so she could start her regular fitness training of running around the village as fast as she can for as long as she can. After running Naruko did 200 push ups, sit ups, handstand push ups, pull ups, punches and kicks with each arm and leg.
She then did 200 one handed push ups and pull ups on each hand. Naruko had to admit that the pull ups a fair bit harder having to pull up 1875kg on one arm. Though the hardest part was finding a tree branch that could take the weight.
Naruko gave up and ended up making a bunshin which shape-shifted into a monkey bar. Naruko didn't want to waste time trying to find a strong enough branch and she didn't want to go round breaking every single branch around her. When she was done she started it all again.
-4 hours later-
Naruko made her way back after her dual fitness session which took her four hours to complete mostly due to her running until she drops. Naruko walked up to Jiraiya wondering something.
"Ne Ero-Sennin can I still make a bunch of kage bunshins and have them do other things as well?" Naruko asked wanted to make a fire and lightning version of her chakra armour.
"I was just about to suggest that. So while you do chakra control exercises you bunshins can do something else," Jiraiya said with a nod.
Naruko smiled before making two thousand bunshins to which Jiraiya's jaw dropped in surprise. Jiraiya knew that Naruko could make an army of herself from what Kakashi has told him but hearing and seeing her do it are two very different things.
"LINE UP!" Naruko shouted out to which all of her bunshins made four groups of ten rows with fifty bunshins in each row.
"Is she preparing for war now?" Jiraiya asked no one in particular while deadpanning at Naruko.
"Everyone on my left is group fire and everyone on my right is group lightning. Remember to create a bunshin before dispelling yourself every half hour. Spread out you all know what to do," Naruko shouted giving her bunshins orders.
All of the Naruko bunshins spread out in different directions to do what they were told to do. Jiraiya just shook his head while sighing. Minato chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head.
"Naruko really takes after her mother, doesn't she?" Minato said softly with a smile.
"Yea she does and she's just as scary as her mother," Jiraiya said before shivering still not be able to forget a few rather painful and terrifying memories.
"Though this is cheating using her kage bunshins like this. It took us ages to get where we are," Jiraiya grumbled finding it very unfair that Naruko will be able to thing that took him a few months or years to complete.
"I mean have you ever heard of anyone mastering an element in a few months let alone a genin mastering three. Hell not many jōnins can use three or more elements. This just isn't fair" Jiraiya continued while tears poured out of his eyes near the end.
Naruko walked up to the crying Jiraiya and her father waiting for her next part of her training.
"What's wrong with Ero-Sennin?" Naruko asked with a sweat drop.
"Don't call me that! Anyway you see the waterfall behind me?" Jiraiya asked while using his thumb to point at the waterfall behind him.
"Yes what about it?" Naruko asked seeing the rather tall waterfall. Naruko estimated it to be around five stories tall.
"You will use a combination of the tree climbing and water walking exercise to walk up the waterfall while pulling this," Jiraiya said before unsealing a large black rectangle box and a piece of rope.
Jiraiya tied one end of the rope around the box before tying the other end around Naruko's waist.
"There you go now get climbing," Jiraiya told Naruko with a smirk.
Naruko started walking before coming to a halt unable to move. Naruko looked behind her before using her hands to pull the rope. Naruko grunted trying to pull the box which didn't budge at all. She tried again this time using her full body weight and strength to try and pull the box.
Naruko caught the box to slowly shift closer to her before she stopped pulling and turning to face a grinning Jiraiya.
"What the hell is that thing better yet what kind of rope is this?" Naruko asked with a confused look on her face.
"That's just a box that weights around 4000kg and that is a special rope that was made with chakra and a few other things," Jiraiya answered his grin never leaving his face.
"Gee thanks," Naruko said plainly while her eye twitched a few times.
Naruko sent chakra to her arms and legs to make it easier to pull the box. She slowly made her way to the waterfall while dragging the box behind her. When the box reached the water it became a bit harder to pull the damn box. Naruko was happy that is was a shallow river else she might be at the bottom of it.
Naruko's next problem was that she now had to climb up the waterfall. She took a few slow steps up the waterfall managing to stay attached to the waterfall. While noting that it was much harder walking up a waterfall compare to walking up a wall.
Naruko took a few more steps to where she as at the point where she would have to start pulling the box. She grunted while slowly pulling up the heavy box as she took very slow steps up the waterfall.
Naruko was walking up the waterfall backwards as she had to use her hands to help her hold and lift up the box. Naruko's steps were slow but steady while she slowly made her way up the waterfall. She saw that she was about two stories high off the ground before she looked behind her and saw that she still had another three stories to go.
Jiraiya and Minato watched Naruko as she slowly made her way up and saw that she was nearly at the top.
"When you reach the top you must walk back down the waterfall," Jiraiya shouted to which Naruko grumbled at her mad sensei.
The process was very slow but Naruko made her way to the top. She stopped before taking a careful step down noting that this is going to be much harder going down. Naruko made sure to make careful steady steps as she didn't want to find out what would happen if she didn't.
Eventually Naruko made it to the bottom where she sat down in the water and took several deep breaths. Naruko was fairly out of breath when she reached the bottom.
"That took quite a bit out of me, not to mention the slight backlash from my bunshins dispelling didn't help," Naruko mumbled softly to herself while taking a small break to get her breath back.
"Well done Naruko, that took you about an hour to do. You can rest for half an hour than I want to go up and down the waterfall again," Jiraiya praised Naruko when he reached her before telling her what to do next.
Naruko sighed before lying down on her back in the river letting the water run past her helping to cool her down. Naruko happily rested and relax while lying in the river and watching the clouds sail above her.
Naruko quickly discovered why Shikamaru loved doing this all the time. Before she knew it her half an hour was up signalled by Jiraiya shouting at Naruko telling her to get up and start climbing. Naruko sighed before getting back up and turning to face the waterfall.
It took Naruko another hour and bit to walk up and down the waterfall. It took Naruko a bit longer this time because it was a bit harder than the first time. When Naruko got to the bottom she walked to where Jiraiya and her father were while dragging the box behind her.
Naruko untied the rope that was around her waist before looking up at Jiraiya waiting her next instruction.
"Ero-Sennin what's ne…" Naruko started saying before falling forwards feeling all of her strength and power leave her.
Naruko barely felt Jiraiya catching her or heard him call her name before everything went dark and quiet.
-Sometime later-
Naruko groaned while slowly opening her eyes and stretching her body making her back arch a bit. Naruko opened her eyes full and took note of her surroundings and saw that she was in her room. Naruko wondered how she got her than she remembered she was about to ask Jiraiya's what's next before she passed out.
Naruko tried to sit up but felt something heavy on her stomach. Naruko looked down and saw Sakura sitting on a chair slouched over resting her head on Naruko's stomach. Naruko smiled gently while gently running her hand through Sakura's hair.
Naruko noticed that her bed is in one piece and wondered if it was fixed or if it was a completely new bed. Sakura stirred feeling something gently caressing her hair before she raised her head and turned it to face Naruko.
"Naruko! You alright I was worried a bit there," Sakura said suddenly and completely awake.
"Hey Sakura-chan, yea I'm fine thanks. Though what happened?" Naruko asked with a smile.
"I'm not sure, Jiraiya-sama said you suddenly passed out during training. I arrived shortly after you passed out hoping to have a lunch break with you," Sakura replied after she let out a sigh of relief.
"Sorry about that Sakura-chan. How long was I out for?" Naruko asked while sitting up.
"You have been out just under two days. We were getting worried but then I remember the last time this happened which calmed us down somewhat," Sakura answered.
"I see. Damn I hoped I didn't disturb you training like I did mine," Naruko replied a little sad.
"Hey don't worry about it. It's only two days, besides there is still a month till the main event," Sakura said shaking her head.
"Yea I know. I just want to make good use of this time," Naruko said while turning and placing her feet on the floor.
"I know you do, and so do I," Sakura responded with a smile while Naruko stood up.
Naruko noticed she was only wearing a light orange partly see through gown that just passed to the middle of her thighs. Naruko now wondered how on earth she got into these clothes before remembering who is currently training her.
"Sakura-chan, how did I get into these clothes?" Naruko asked hoping for the best.
"Oh I changed you into them seeing that the clothes you were in were completely soaked. And you were quite dirty and sweaty so I gave you a bath," Sakura answered.
"Oh thank you. I was a little worried that Ero-Sennin was behind this," Naruko replied with a sigh of relief.
"Ero-Sennin?" Sakura asked a bit confused.
"Yea it's what I call Jiraiya-sensei. Don't be fooled by his acts he is a pervert and he openly admits it," Naruko said while looking at Sakura.
"You know you should give him more respect. He is a famous, well know ninja and without a doubt the strongest in Konoha," Sakura half scolded Naruko.
"She's right you know. You should respect your elders," Jiraiya said standing just outside Naruko's door to which Naruko responded by sticking her tongue out at Jiraiya.
"Get changed and meet me in the living room," Jiraiya said before walking off.
Sakura got up and walked out the room heading towards the living room. Naruko changed into a red baggy shirt and long black slightly baggy pants before heading to the living room. Naruko walked into the living room and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"Anyone want anything?" Naruko asked while taking out a few ingredients from the fridge.
"No but thanks for the offer," Jiraiya replied while shaking his head.
"Thanks Naru but I already had something," Sakura responded with a smile.
"Fine suit yourself. More for me then," Naruko said before turning around and making herself something.
Sakura started counting Naruko's tails wanting to confirm her suspicions.
"Hey Naruko you have a sixth tail now," Sakura said after counting Naruko's tails.
Naruko stopped what she was doing and looked behind her.
"Oh look, seems I do," Naruko replied happily while holding her new tail.
Jiraiya and Sakura sweat dropped wondering how Naruko didn't notice that she had a new tail.
Naruko walked with her bowl of food and sat down next to Sakura before taking a bite and looking at Jiraiya wondering what he has to say.
"So according to what you have told Kakashi when you get a new tail your strength, chakra and senses increase and that you get an additional 'perk' with that tail. Do you know what perk you get with this tail and by how much your strength, chakra and senses have increased by?" Jiraiya asked wanting to learn more about this hanyou tail business.
"No I don't know what I got with this tail other than I can talk in my fox form now. As for the increase in my abilities I'd say it doubled them, well that's what happened the last few times I got a new tail," Naruko answered after thinking for a few seconds.
"I see. We can step your training up a few notches," Jiraiya replied with a grin making Naruko gulp.
"I shall see you tomorrow same time same place," Jiraiya said while getting up and walking to the door.
"Wait why can't we train now?" Naruko asked wanting to start training right away and running after Jiraiya.
"Because it's getting late. The sun set about an hour ago just so you know," Jiraiya responded before walking out the door and closing it.
"And there he goes," Naruko sighed while walking back to sit next to Sakura.
Naruko sat back down and brought her feet up and turned her body to face Sakura while hugging her knees. Sakura turned her body to face Naruko while crossing her legs.
"Thanks Sakura for looking after me like that," Naruko thanked sincerely.
"No need, it's the least I can do. You've always been there for me so I wanted to return the favour," Sakura replied while leaning forward a bit and placing her hands on Naruko's knees. Naruko smiled gently in return before placing her hands on top of Sakura's hands.
"So who did Kakashi get to train you?" Naruko asked with a slightly playful tone.
"He first got someone by the name of Ebisu to train me," Sakura answered not sure what to think of the guy.
"I'm not exactly sure what happened but Anko the second exam protractor is now training me. That lady is crazy," Sakura continued while shivering at the end at the thought of Anko.
"Yea Anko is real crazy. How did you get her to train you?" Naruko asked really wondering how Sakura pulled this off.
Sakura blushed rather hard at that the memory making Naruko's eyebrow raise wondering why Sakura is blushing so hard.
"Sakura?" Naruko asked in curiosity.
"I didn't do anything she just offered to train me, of course I accepted but when I asked why s-she she…" Sakura answered but couldn't finish her sentence as she started blushing really hard and started shaking her head furiously.
"Sakura? Why are you blushing so hard?" Naruko wondered but had a rough idea knowing it's Anko they are talking about.
"She's worse than Kakashi and that book he reads," Sakura replied still blushing rather hard.
"I guess she is considering she's being trying to get into my pants since she laid her eyes on me," Naruko said with a huff and a small blush.
"That's mine included," Sakura added softly.
Naruko laughed at Sakura making her blush deepen.
"Hey Naru, after the exams could you help me with something please?" Sakura asked softly.
"Yea sure. What is it you want me to help you with?" Naruko asked a bit confused at Sakura's change in body language.
"Could you help me repair what little friendship I have with Ino?" Sakura asked sadly remembering what Ino had once done for her.
"You bet I will," Naruko replied with a big smile.
Sakura gently smiled while leaning in and giving Naruko a hug.
"Thank you Naru. I couldn't ask for a better friend," Sakura replied.
Naruko returned the hug and held the hug for a few minutes before Sakura pulled back ending the hug. Sakura stood up before stretching and releasing a long yawn tired from her rather exhausting day.
"Thanks Naru but I better get going don't want my mother getting worried," Sakura said while walking to the door and putting her shinobi sandals back on.
Naruko got up and walked up to Sakura before putting her hand on her shoulder.
"Here, let me. I don't want to out alone at this time of the night," Naruko said stopping Sakura from opening the door.
"I can handle myself you know," Sakura said shaking her head.
"No I insist," Naruko said while wrapping her tail around Sakura's waist stopping her from walking out the door.
Before Sakura could say something they both disappeared in a poof of smoke and reappeared right in front of Sakura's home. Sakura covered her mouth feeling queasy still not used to traveling like that.
"See we're already here," Naruko said with a big grin making Sakura giggle.
"Thanks Naru. I'll see you tomorrow," Sakura said before giving Naruko a quick hug.
"Sure Sakura-chan. See you tomorrow," Naruko waved at Sakura who walked up the stairs to her home.
Sakura gave one last wave before walking into her home. While Naruko disappeared in a swirl of leaves and dust before reappearing on the roof of her and Kakashi's apartment. Naruko jumped down and climbed through her bedroom window landing on her bed.
Naruko fell asleep as soon as her head hit her pillow excited for her training tomorrow.
Chapter 19.
Here is chapter 19. Next chapter will continue with Naruko's training. So from this point on Naruko is going to be getting quite strong as Jiraiya and Minato will be training her along with Kurama who will be.
frankieu: Happy you enjoyed the flying scene. I hope you are happy with Sakura's sensei.
Arianna Le Fay: Yip Jiraiya is finally here. Naruko will be learning a quite a few things as to, what you will have to wait and find out. Though you might be quite happy with what she learns.
TheBeauty: Lol Jiraiya was half tempted to make her run around naked but in the end she was fully clothed when training.
Now I will admit trying to represent everyone's skills isn't easy so it's going take me a bit longer but I will put them up eventually.
