Training Part VII
"Oooohhh," Lan groaned, sitting up in bed, hand to his head. "Why does my head hurt?"
"I know how you feel," Netto said from across the room, his hand to his head as well.
"Do your heads hurt as much as mine," Megaman asked the two.
"Probably, if not more," Lan said. "Does anyone remember what happened?"
"I think I do," Netto said. "The last thing I remember doing was using a supreme fireball as Chaos Netto and you were in a new form. Blade Beast, you called yourself. Kinda weird, though. You used Blademan's signature jutsu, or at least, a part of it. Next thing I remember after that is waking up here, with my head feeling like it has a pick axe in it or something."
"Oh yeah," Megaman said. "It's kinda coming back to me. Hey, what time is it?"
Lan took a look at the clock. "It's only 7:50 am." He turned back to the others and then whipped his head back around, eyes wide. "7:50?! SHIT, WE'RE GONNA BE LATE TO TRAINING!!!"
***
"There you three are," Blademan said. "Where were you?"
"Sorry," Lan said, in Blade Soul Cross Fusion. "We kinda slept in."
"Hmmm…well I suppose I can make an exception," Blademan said. "Considering what Naruto and Sasuke told me about what was supposed to be a training match yesterday."
"Heh, heh. Yeah, sorry about that," Lan said. "Hey, where's Max at?"
"RRAHHHH," Max yelled from behind him, swinging down at him with a long sword.
Lan drew his katana with unbelievable speed, blocking the slash. "What the hell was that for," Lan said, heart pounding from adrenaline at the sudden attack.
"To ready you for weapons training," Blademan said. He pulled his naginata from its place on his back. "The first weapon you will be trained in will be one that I prefer to most weapons. The naginata. Strangely enough, when I woke up yesterday, my naginata was missing. But it was back this morning. Does anyone know where it disappeared to?"
"I might have an idea," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head. He signed and said, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu." A cloud of smoke appeared in front of him and Minato was on the ground, asleep. "Hey, Minato, wake up. Yo, I said WAKE UP!!!"
"Who, what," Minato said, looking around wildly. "Oh, it's you. Why did you summon me?"
"It would seem that Blademan's naginata went missing yesterday. Do you have any idea where it went?"
Minato looked at the ground, kicking at a small clod of dirt. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't."
"Minato," Naruto said, assuming a tone that a parent would take with a small child who was just caught doing something wrong.
"Ok, ok, I took it and hocked it for a new laser naginata. But I bought it back and returned it."
"Wait, you hocked my naginata? The naginata that my last partner gave to me to remember her by," Blademan said. "Come here Minato. You're going to help me show Lan just how close of a shave this naginata can give," he said, walking over to Minato slowly.
Minato backed up with each step, saying, "No, no, you look like you can do it without my help."
"Oh, no, I insist."
"I'm sorry, but I must decline." And with that, Minato ran into the woods.
"GET BACK HERE," Blademan yelled, running after him.
***
An hour later, Blademan came back out of the words, whistling to himself. "Blademan, where's Minato," Kyuubi asked.
"He's currently tied up at the moment," Blademan answered.
In the woods, Minato was hanging upside down from a tree branch, his tails tied in various knots around the branch. "Uh, can someone get me down," Minato called out. "Anyone?"
"Now then, first thing's first," Blademan said, turning to Lan. "You need to learn to summon the naginata. Which brings us to your katana."
"The katana," Lan asked, confused.
"Yes, the katana. The biggest advantage your katana has is that it can take on the shape of different weapons, as long as they have blades involved. Try to make your katana into a naginata."
"Ok," Lan said. "Here goes." He held the katana in front of him and closed his eyes. Within a few minutes time, the hilt of the katana became smooth and extended, while the blade itself widened and shortened so that it was a foot long. The blade curved on one side as the opposite grew three spikes that curved slightly upwards.
"Good job. Now we start training with the naginata," Blademan said.
***
Forty five minutes later, Lan was sitting on the ground, the naginata now back in its original katana form, panting heavily from the workout he just had with naginata training. "Take another twenty minutes to cool down and we'll train with the chainblade next," Blademan said, taking a seat under a tree nearby.
"Ok," Lan answered.
When the break was up, Blademan stood up and drew his chainblade. "Now then, do what you did with the naginata and make your katana into a chainblade."
"Yes sir." He closed his eyes once more and soon the katana extended and widened, the blade itself splitting into segments. He opened his eyes, asking, "How's this?"
"Just fine. First, I want to teach you my lightning snake, which I believe is what my doppelganger used on your friend, Kassie Haro, correct?"
"Yes, it is."
"Well then, that makes this explanation easier. I want you to hold that image in your mind and channel electricity through the chainblade itself. Then I'll teach you how to control the chainblade itself."
"Alright then." Lan closed his eyes, concentrating on the image of the chainblade with electrical currents traveling along it. "Lightning Snake." Electricity began to arc off of the chainblade and currents of it moved along the surface.
"Once again, well done. And now I teach you to control the chainblade."
***
"Alright, I suppose that's enough for today," Blademan said, two hours after he began to teach Lan to use the chainblade. "We'll learn something new tomorrow. Naruto and Sasuke will be teaching you more jutsu."
"Ok," a very tired Lan said. He released the Double Soul and the cross fusion. "Hey, is Minato coming out of the woods or not?"
"Oh, almost forgot," Naruto said. They all heard a BOOMF from the woods. "Now we can go in."
Weapons training is done and now Lan will learn some more jutsu. Gammatron's characters only belong to Gammatron. Please Review.
