Chapter 2: Training day
With great power and determination, Naruto and Sensei Jeraiya began their Journey…
"huhhh…" Naruto sighed beginning to drop his head into his palm. "Jeraiya-sensei, when are we going to begin training?" He wondered. Jeraiya turned his head toward Naruto with a look of confusion, as he had not heard his bored student. "hmm?" He questioned. "Sorry kid, I was thinking. What were you saying?" Naruto began to become irritated. "What I was saying," he huffed and puffed. "Is that we've been siting in the wilderness doing nothing for the past 3 hours, but listening to birds chirp and water stream. I swear it's as if you've brought me out here for nothing!" Jeraiya raised an eyebrow at Naruto, a smile layered beneath his nose. "How do you know that's not apart of the training?" He stated with a hardy giggle. Naruto dropped his head helplessly and stared at the gravel for a few seconds. "Jeraiya-sensei, I know this is not training because for one, no ninja sits for 3 hours before tutoring, second, No sensei is prepared to battle when his head is buried in this months new issue of Bikini Babes Monthly-
("Hey! How did you know I had this month's new issue?" Jeraiya interrupted.) "JERAIYA-SENSEI!" Naruto snapped! "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO TRAIN!?"
"huhhh." Jeraiya sighed as he closed his book. "Alright, training officially begins now! You little runt." "YES!" Naruto exited. "Finally I get to show you some of my sweet new moves!" Jeraiya slapped his forehead. "Kid, how are you going to possibly show me any of your-"sweet moves"- when you haven't even learned any?" Naruto gripped his fist and smiled a grin so large and shiny, not even the sun could outshine it. "Hmph." He determined. " You're about to find out sensei!" Jeraiya gave a doubtful face and motioned Naruto to bring it on. "hmph." Naruto understood.
"Whaaaaaa!"
Naruto swung his best kick yet!, (and officially began the battle.) yet Jeraiya was content and gripped his foot in mid swing, and without much work, easily managed to release a devastating (in Naruto's favor) rasengan to his students gut, sending him flying into an exposed opening in a rocky waterfall entrance. Rocks went flying everywhere. "Ahhhh!" Naruto cried as he slowly slid down the watery landslide, his body barely able to wistand the gravel collapsing on him as he got closer to the river stream. Jeraiya sighed and shamefully continued his romantic magazine. "Idiot." He muttered flipping the page. "Maybe I should have rethought this."
"Eh…" Naruto limped getting closer to his mentor. Water drenched his clothing. "Jer- Jeraiya- sensei." How… how was that!" Jeraiya looked at his weak and limp student shamefully yet sympathetically also. "How was what… you pleading you were stronger, or me knocking the heck out of you, I'm lost." Naruto fell over, hitting his head straight on the gravel and rocks. "I meant…" Naruto said using his elbow and fist to regain his stance. "What'd you think of my resilance?"
Jeraiya closed his eyes. "What I thought of your Resilience," Jeraiaya corrected. "Was that you should have thought twice before going after that twerp, you call a "friend". Naruto tried to deny Jeraiya's statement, yet a bleeding tongue he had obtained from his waterslide mishap caused him to only mutter words you could barely make out, and ones that Jeraiya felt as pleasing (seeing he could barely understand them). "Look." Jeraiya calmed. " I know you're bent on helping this Sasuke kid, though I'm not gonna send you out into that world unprepared." Naruto dipped his head. "It's clear you need more training than I thought." Jeraiya finished. Naruto understood. Jeraiya saw his sad student and added "But look, trust me, it'll be over before you know it…
Goku gave a giant stretch as he began to begin combat…
"ahhhh." He relaxed as he tugged his arms behind his head. "Piccolo! You ready?" Goku questioned. Piccolo stood not far from Goku. "Bring it." He beckoned. Goku understood and training officially began…
Whhaaa.!
Goku sped toward his temporary opponent, his once smiling face, now determined. "hmph.!" He strengthened closer and closer toward Piccolo. Though Piccolo remained stationary, content on winning the battle.
"Take this!"
Goku made his hit, and indeed it was a strong one! Yet Piccolo didn't stand for it and gripped his palm around Goku's pumped fist, astonishing the once mighty z- fighter. "Ararhhh." Piccolo raged as he threw Goku as if a ragdoll into a exposed mountain. Grass and rocks polluted the namekians eyes and pummeled his strong, but weakening body. "erhh." Piccolo struggled as he could no longer see his once owned battlefield. Goku was no where to be seen…
When…
"Zooooom!" A surprise blast from Goku went soaring through the mist and grass debris of the mountain and flying toward a groggy and confused Piccolo. "Wha- What!?" Piccolo wondered as he finally regained his sight, though he sadly regretted it seconds later when the blast sent him straight into another mountain. Retaliation… It was, as Goku finally emerged from the leftover smoke and mist of the mountain. "Hmph." He said with a smile. "Looks like all that cockiness didn't last long." Piccolo stood up angrily as the sight of his opponent so uninjured easily got to him. "erh….Pissin me off… Knocking me into mountains!" Piccolo angrily muttered while thinking of a new battle tactic. Goku nodded his head in delight. "Piccolo…Piccolo." Goku wondered. "Why is every thing so serious to you? We're just training. Piccolo began to become ferociously hotheaded and just like Vegeta, but angrier, he blasted Goku in an act of frustration. "Training.!" He frustrated. "Why don't you train THIS!"
"BLAAHHHHHH!"
Goku welled "What!" in confusion and began to hold his palms out in hopes of surviving the awesome power of the blow. "eh…" He struggled. "But in the end, he was overpowered by the blow and blown over five miles off the training field. "ahhhhh." He cried as he hit the ground so hard, half of his body ended up buried six feet below. Piccolo watched, not happily but sympathetically, for he felt as if this time he went too far. "Huh….huhhh." He huffed, as he could not breathe any more. "Maybe that's enough training for today?" Goku wondered stumbling out of the whole Piccolo made in the Earth. Piccolo lowered his eyebrows to his normal yet determined arch. " Sure." He agreed. "We should continue on the trail, looks like it's getting dark. Goku began to walk with his friend, yet, not without a stumble or limp in-between each step.
"Hey Goku." Piccolo said firmly, as if not friendly. "Yeah Piccolo?" Goku wondered. "What the Hell were we training for in the first place?" Goku looked at his green friend. "You know, just in case Vegeta put up a fight once we tried to bring him back." Piccolo dipped his head in frustration. "If I knew that I would have never swung you into that mountain. And to think, I thought we were just fighting.
