Chapter 44 Learning the Rasengan part 3
Seth's P.O.V.
"How the hell did you complete the Rasengan training without going through the third stage?!" Jiraiya interrogated me.
"I don't know it just there after the ball burst." I answered back I was kind of terrified.
"But what was worse was that you almost made a tree fall on me for testing it out!" Jiraiya was pissed at my actions and I can see why I recklessly put him in danger without thinking of the consequences.
"You are still going to go through the third stage like Naruto whether you like it or not!"
*POP!* We all heard it come from Naruto's position.
"I finally… did it!" Naruto declared before he.
"Naruto!" I yelled pushing aside Jiraiya as I rushed towards Naruto.
When I got to him he was snoring.
"Don't worry he's alright!" I called over. "He'll wake up in an hour feeling hungry and sorry about knocking you over." I finished.
Jiraiya had walked over to where I was and looked at Naruto's hand. It looked burned but it should heal quickly. He then looked at the sky the sun was setting.
"We should head back to our room and make some food." Jiraiya said while putting Naruto on his shoulder.
"I'm cooking this time. There is this dish I've been wanting to cook." I declared.
He just shrugged at what I said when we got into town we went our separate ways me to go fetch ingredients and them back to the room we were staying at.
The Next day…
We were on the edge of the city leaving.
"All right let's go!" Jiraiya declared.
"Quit acting like a little kid. Let's go, puleeze." Naruto said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"You're in a foul mood."
"Why wouldn't I be I'm in the middle of training. You said there were three stages to this drill right?! I've only gotten through two of them so far!"
"Relax the two of you can start training while we're walking." he said while pulling out three balloons from his jacket thing. He then inflated them and tossed two of them to me and Naruto.
"It may look like I'm holding a normal balloon but let's see what is happening is truly happening with my other hand." He said before chakra started to swirl in his hand get Naruto's attention.
"In this stage your goal is to combine the first two stages while keeping control. You don't want to pop… Oh come on, at least you could wait until I'm done talking before starting." he yelled at me. I had already started to create the rasengan. My smoke was starting to interfere and make the outer layer of a rasengan just outside the balloon.
Jiraiya's P.O.V.
Hmm interesting, the boys bloodline is fusing with the rasengan that must be what made it explode. "What the hell?!" the balloon collapsed. I saw the chakra cut it with ease but, leaving it in one piece, before it was thrown out of rasengan. I saw something at the heart of it once the balloon was removed. It looked like a black marble the chakra is pressing into and rotating around it. It kinda looks like a very miniscule bijuu dama. First time I've seen something like this.
Seth's P.O.V.
"Jiraiya, yoo hoo, hello, anybody home in that little perverted skull of yours?" I said trying to get his attention he looked like he was in a trance I had slowly released the rasengan pulling the chakra and smoke back into my body. He didn't seem to come out of trance. Then I got an idea I signaled for Naruto to come over and I whispered my idea to him.
Once he was set I set things in motion. "Jiraiya! Naked lady behind you!" I yelled.
"Where!" He said as he turned around to get slapped by Naruto in his sexy jutsu.
"Pervert!" He yelled before changing back. I was ballen from laughter.
A few hours later…
"Here we are. This will be the place to collect information." Jiraiya declared as we walked in a pub.
"Jiraiya?" we all heard a drunken woman say.
I was looking for what Jiraiya was looking at.
"Tsunade. You two follow me."
So we followed him to a table with two ladies one looked sorta drunk. A conversation was started up and when the hokage spot was brought up and apparently Tsunade said no which pissed Naruto I'm surprised how quickly this escalated into a fight outside on the street with me backing him up.
Naruto rushed blindly in at Tsunade with a kunai in hand. I stayed back which was a smart thing she had thrown him with a flick to the forehead I had caught him.
"Naruto stay back and get that jutsu we're learning ready I'm going in." I said to him.
I then charged towards Tsunade hand nearing the grip of the blade on my hip. When she swung at me I used a short ranged smoke dash making her punch pass clean through me sending her off balance. I then ran up behind her and restrained her arms and damn she has some crazy ass strength.
"Now!" I yelled. Naruto came charging in with an incomplete rasengan in his hand. She struggled like crazy and somehow got ahold of me and threw me at Naruto. Making him lose his concentration as he was forced to dodge me making his rasengan faid. Tsunade capitalized and used this time to flick Naruto again sending him crashing into me as I was getting up knocking me over once more. Luckily I had landed ontop of him from the roll.
I soon had a foot on my chest stopping me. I felt anger and I really do mean a lot of anger stir within me before my head started to hurt. Images flash in my head. Once they were over I wasn't in control my anger took over and I had a similar level of strength Tsunade had at the moment. I some how lifted her leg off me and started to form a rasengan it wasn't my normal version of it no instead electricity was sparking up my arm into it. It wasn't a complete, it was possibly a stage one rasengan I don't know I remember driving it into her leg. When it landed it sent a serious shock through her body electrocuting her not enough to be lethal but enough to knock someone out and boy it did before I passed out.
In the mindscape…
I fell out of the sky over a canopy of the forest and hit a bunch of branches on the way down. I hit the dirt hard and in pain but tolerable. When I got up and looked around I realized I had no clue which was the center. So I had to choose a direction and start walking and so I did. Though the forest didn't lighten up no instead it got thicker until it turned dark and almost cave like. The air grew damp as I proceeded deeper. I felt a sense of dread building and what sounded like whispers telling me to "turn back" and "that I'm not ready for what lies beneath."
I kept pushing forward until I felt a something touch me.
"Stop don't go any deeper." I heard a voice behind me I turned around to see a hooded figure holding an unlit lantern.
"Who the hell are you? Where am I?" I said.
The figure shook his head and said "Kid I'm going to be blunt with you, you're nearing your damaged memory cortex. A new one was created to keep you mind stable while this one is being repair. Once done the two cortexes will combine into one."
"Okay but still who are you?"
"Kid I am a being that was created when this cortex was damaged. I'm here to make sure you don't any farther while it's repairing itself."
"That I get but what would happen if I went deeper?"
"You would get serious trauma from the shattered memories and run the risk of the damage becoming permanent and you might not wake up."
"Oh. Well can you help me find my way out?"
"Here take my lantern its light always shines in the direction of the heart of the forest. Don't worry the lantern will return itself to me once its task has been completed."
"Thank you!"
"It's no problem it's what I was made to do."
