The First Jutsu: Wave Shell Shield

The next night, they actually stop & rest! Amazing, I know, but in reality there were 2 people who didn't get to relax: Naruto & Tsachi. "You know what this is, don't you Naruto?", Tsachi asks. Naruto grins & exclaims, "This is when you teach me some awesome badass jutsu!". Tsachi smiles & nods, prompting Naruto to burst out into excited cheers. The Jonin quickly silences the over eager Genin & pulls out a scroll marked with a small picture of a turtle. "This, Naruto, is the key to your jutsu.", Tsachi states before unrolling it & letting it coast over the ground. Naruto's jaw drops when he sees how many signs it is. "YOU EXPECT ME TO FUCKIN' KNOW ALL THIS?!", Naruto shouts in astonishment. Tsachi walks over & glares at him before putting his hands together & staring down at the scroll.

Sacred Water Art: Wave Shell Shield!

Water begins to form in Tsachi's hand & makes the shape of a tortoise shell. "Naruto, this is your jutsu, known as the Wave Shell Shield.", Tsachi states calmly. Naruto looks at it closely, seeing the small shell spin in his hand before scratching his head & inquiring, "Why's it called that? It doesn't really look like it could shield anyone.". Tsachi smiles as more water rushes toward him, eventually enveloping them both. As it takes form, Naruto notices that small drops of water are pointing toward Tsachi's hands. "This is why Naruto. When concentrated, it works a lot like your jutsu, Rasengan I think it's called, & it reeks devastating havoc on its target. However, unlike your jutsu, this can be used defensively as well, creating a shield as big or little as you can make with your water nature chakra.". As the shell disappears, Naruto looks at Tsachi in amazement before he drops to his knees.

Naruto rushes over & Tsachi states, "I'm fine. It's like I said, it uses a lot of chakra. The bigger & denser the shield, the more chakra it takes to hold it.". Naruto nods & replies, "Ok, but Tsachi....I don't know how to use Water chakra.". Tsachi slaps his head & stands up before popping a soldier pill, "Of course. I need to teach you then.". Hours later, after Naruto finally understands how to make a wave of chakra & does so successfully, they rest for a bit. "Tsachi, how can you do all this? Understand so much when you're only a few years older than us?", Naruto asks curiously. Tsachi sighs heavily & responds, "Naruto, the other ninja villages aren't like all like yours. Some are vicious, even deadly, & that's living in them. Growing up there I was shunned, from my appearence to my abilities, it seemed like everyone hated me. I was forced to train everyday, in every style I showed the slightest ability with. Eventually I grew adept at nearly all the main styles, & even showed promise with Shadow & a couple others, the Raikage promoted me to Head Ninja & everyone hated me more.". Naruto stares at him in silence & thinks to himself, "Holy....he...he understands. He's like me.".

"It got to the point where no ninja would work with me. I was forced to do missions by myself, & when I was successful the others grew to hate me more....", Tsachi looks up at Naruto & smiles softly, "I'm sorry, you asked about how I could do this & here I am blabbing about my life story. The point is that I was trained & pushed so far that I'm able to use the main styles fairly well. I do have my weaknesses, but that doesn't matter. Break's over, now get back to work! You can rest when you form that shell!". Naruto smiles & hops up to continue his training, telling himself, "I'll do this jutsu. I'll become strong like the old man, like Grandma Tsunade, like you Tsachi. I'll become the next Hokage, & I'll make you all believe it!".

As the sun rises, Naruto smiles faintly before collapsing because for a second, a shell was in his hand.
