edited chapter 10
"Me, I'm the legendary sannin Jiraiya the toad mountain sage!" He shouts
"Never heard of you" Jiraiya floored himself at this.
"You never heard of the three legendary sannin?"
"Kukiko, mind if I explain?"
"Go for it."
Naruto gave the perv a crash course history lesson on the girl before him.
"Hey, maybe you know something about her Kekkei Genkai?" This gets Kukiko attention, hoping to learn more about her past.
"I'll need a demonstration first, if don't you mind."
Natsu handed her some food pills that she gratefully accepted.
"Give me a few minutes, please."
"Take as much as you need. I'm just as curious as you two."
"I should use that new jutsu I learned the other day."
She stands next to the river, gathering all her chakra before doing a sequence of hand signs.
"Water style water fist jutsu!" Getting a proud smirk from Natsu and a shocked expression from Jiraiya.
Just as she called out the jutsu, water from the river raced only to spiral around her before moldering to her as she formed two giant arms and a fist of water.
She used these arms like a gorilla with its own and held her up in the air before going back down.
"There's more" she jumps in the river to submerge down to her waist.
She stands on the water with the water arms and fist, shadowing her arm movements.
Unfortunately, this display didn't last long as the last of her chakra was used up.
All the water above her head came down on top of her drenching her in water.
"That wasn't supposed to happen!" All she got in response was straight-up laughter from her patrons.
"Sorry, Kukiko, but that was too funny," he said before collapsing on the ground in a laughing fit.
"I went a little overboard with my chakra, but my point still stands!" She shouted triumphantly, banging her fist to her chest with her head held high.
"Kukiko, have you always been this gifted in water jutsu?"
"Yes, that's why I never went to the academy, fearful my power could get out of hand."
"Tell me, Kukiko, has your jutsu ever felt easier or stronger when the moon is out."
"YES, actually, when I would sneak out, I would use the light of the moon to find the training ground. I always noticed my water manipulation was enhanced somehow. I just thought it was because I could focus better with no one around."
"I think you might be a member of the Gessui clan of village hidden in the mist."
"Gessui?" They said in unison
"Gessui, it means moon water. This clan specializes in water manipulation. But the jutsu they were famous for was the water golem jutsu."
"Water golem?"
Jiraiya sat down, pulling out a scroll and ink, signaling them to sit down.
He illustrated the water golem as a humanoid in shapes encasing the user with his brush in hand.
"This was their specialty jutsu. Very powerful and very deadly."
"What made it so deadly, Pervy sage."
"Will you stop calling me that"
"No, continue."
"Whatever, anyway, what made this so deadly? if done correctly, The user is practically impervious to all water style jutsu."
"How is something like that possible?"
"Here's an example of its potential. Let's say a powerful ninja is using the water prison jutsu on a comrade." He eyes them down, making sure they are paying attention. "Those who can master this jutsu can Take control of the water. They can free Comrade or turn it against the caster. But I must warn you, Kukiko, this is no easy task, and it could take you years to learn"
"I understand, pervy sage."
"Not you two," Naruto broke out into hysterical laughter.
"That's what you get for being a pervert, so what are you doing here anyway?"
Ignoring the pervert comment, "the old man said you might be here and….figure I make up the times I wasn't there in the form of training!. Come on. You have to like that?"
Naruto just stared at him with a bored expression thinking over the pervy sage off "fine."
"Yes! Who knows, I might be able to show him the ways to women when he gets older."
Elsewhere
Yugao was enjoying her day off when suddenly her perverted instinct is set off.
"someone trying to corrupt my little brother, could it be kakashi? No, he not that stupid but who?"
With naruto
"So what first pervy sage?"
"First and foremost, I want to see what I'm working with," he pulls out a kunai knife.
Knowing what he meant, he pulls out his own kunai knife.
"Time to show me what you got to squirt."
Two hours later
A mildly exhausted Jiraiya stood, and one end and very worn-out Naruto stood on the other.
"Color me impressed."
"Thanks, I guess."
"Your skills with your sword are nothing to be shy about to along with your jutsu."
"Ok, now that you've seen what I can do, what is my first lesson then?"
"Considering the shape you are in, I will be waiting till you're all rested up. Then will begin."
"Assuming I don't get a mission after this"
"Hmm, I may be able to pull a few strings so you can have time to train under my guidance!"
"Sure, whatever you say, pervy sage," his voice dripped with sarcasm.
The toad sage didn't show it, but he cringed from Naruto's words, "great, he's just like his mother with that tone of voice." He then shunshined away in a poof of smoke.
"I'm gonna head home Kukio. I'll see you around."
"Ok, then I'll be practicing my jutsu for the next few days if you need me."
"Hai," he usually would have shunshined away, but he was nearly out of chakra to pull that off.
So he was forced to walk home.
Thankfully the pervy sage didn't destroy his uniform; it was just a little tattered here and there but enough to keep his identity a secret.
Speaking of that, because very few know of his status as an anbu, he was forced to use his secret trap door.
A false door hides the secret entrance to the building.
The door in question is at the bottom of the building in the alley.
Making sure no peeping eyes are on him, he released the seal of the wall allowing him to pull it aside before closing it behind him.
He reseals the door, so the people of the village are none the wiser.
He was now in the underbelly of his apartment complex.
He silently crawls to the building's center support beam, revealing a small shaft used primarily by ninja.
He ascends upward from post to post until he reaches the top.
He swiftly found his apartment's secret entrance opening it up to close it behind him only to collapse on his bed, falling asleep immediately.
The next day
After getting some much-needed breakfast, he was met with the pervy sage sitting on his window frame.
"What do you want, pervy sage?"
"Will you stop calling me that"
"No"
"Since you're not busy today, let's do some training toad style!"
"Ah, how often is this training going to be?"
"Once to twice a week when you're not on missions, why?"
"Just wondering. Did you hear that kurma, we might have some time for our special training after all?"
"Good, make sure he teaches you the summoning jutsu and quick!"
"I'm not letting you out of your cage."
"Do you have to crush my hopes?"
"Yes, as I'm pretty sure Jiji has filled him in on our relationship, and I don't want to jeopardize my chance at signing the toad contract, ok!"
"Fine, just don't dilly dally!"
"Whatever you say…."
Naruto looks to toad sannin before nodding.
"Good now, get dressed, make it snappy."
Naruto quickly got into his training gear, simple grey pants, and shirt, not including his chain mail and plate to protect from stabs.
He also made sure to wear his face mask and bandana. He can't take chances when all the villagers hate your guts.
"Ready?"
"Yes, pervy sage."
The sage grabbed hold of him, shunshined away.
They found themselves back in the training field.
"So, what's first on the agenda?"
"First, I gotta ask, what is your chakra nature?"
"Wind, why?"
"Just making sure, and I assume you know a few wind-style jutsu?"
"Yeah, I know great breakthrough, air bullets and lace my kunai, sword, and shuriken with wind chakra...oh and these" he pulls out his two trench knives.
Being only a kid, the was Taylor to his small hands.
"Impressive for squirt," Naruto Just grunted at his comments.
"So, why do you want to know?"
With a smirk, "have you thought about creating your own?"
"Yes, I have, but I don't know where to start."
"Based on what you said, you're master chakra nature, at least for wind, but what do you know about chakra form."
"Not much, I'm afraid, as the concept is alien to me even though I'm in the anbu."
"That's where will begin any questions."
"Yeah, can you teach me seals?"
"Ok, but why?"
"I want to increase my skill set."
"Ok, then."
Jiraiya trained him in the art of seals for the remainder of the day and was surprisingly adept at it without prior experience.
"Just like her mother, ok then, since you want to learn seals will spend half our time teaching you seals. the rest will be various chakra exercises in teaching you the basics of chakra form."
The next day Naruto had the whole day to himself, and that meant training with Kurama.
He used several barrier seals he learned from the pervy sage yesterday, so no one would get the wrong idea about him using Kurama chakra.
With the seals in place, Naruto went into the lotus position, going to the seal.
He stood before the giant cage, "so what first?"
Staring him down with his giant red-eye, "first, let's see how well you do with a small amount of my power" Naruto was suddenly flooded with the vile red chakra.
When he finally returns to reality, he runs to a nearby river and sees his body covered in a cloak of chakra.
His body had all the telltale signs of his power, red eyes, wild hair, and thick whisker marks.
Off the bat, he can feel the anger of the fox coursing through his veins.
Knowing how crazy he can be from the few times he used his power before, he focused his mind on retaining some semblance of sanity.
After about half a minute, his whole world felt more apparent to him.
He could see things more clearly, hear something he couldn't hear before, and so on.
With his newfound strength, he punched the ground with great force shattering the earth beneath him.
"Calm yourself, Naruto," he said to himself.
He could hear a faint chuckle from Kurama.
Clearly enjoying him, try and fail to keep some semblance of sanity with using his power.
Unable to control his rage and influence, he let out a howl creating a small shockwave splintering a small tree across his path.
"That could be useful."
"Gaki likes what he sees. So maybe there is hope for you yet!"
Naruto just rolls his eye at that comment before testing the rest of his capability in this form.
Unfortunately, this form didn't last long, only about 20 minutes max before all the chakra was used up.
"I think I'm gonna call it for the day, Kurama. That took a lot more out of me than I thought."
"Fine, will continue this tomorrow."
After about an hour of resting, Naruto managed to get the strength to get back on his feet to head home for the day.
Unknown to him, the whole ordeal was witnessed by the Hokage through his crystal ball.
"I hope Naruto doesn't bite more than he can chew with this training."
The next day
In full anbu gear, Naruto went to a ninja library looking for any books on wind-style jutsu.
"I see someone interesting with that shockwave attack!"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be that could prove useful in the future, and I don't want to risk my identity being exposed."
"Hmm"
After about an hour of searching, he only found one book. It was about the chakra network, which was the closeted thing he could find thus far.
"Damn, this is proving harder than I thought."
It was then another anbu that caught his attention, codename lion.
"What are you doing here, Kitsune. You don't look like the kind of person to be in a library?"
"Normally, I don't, but I'm looking for anything that can help with my wind, Nature."
"Oh, mind explaining further?"
"As I'm sure you know, the higher up are interested in me working with my tenant. So I did some training yesterday. One ability that caught my eye, I was able to release powerful shockwaves. I think I can replicate that with my chakra, so I don't have to rely on him every time."
"Shock wave! I can see how the wind may be able to help with that, considering the fox has incredible levels of chakra."
"You have any idea? All I found was this book on the chakra network."
"Well, from what you describe releasing a shock wave means you'd have to release chakra in a highly compressed wave. But the only clan I know who can release chakra how you described is the Hyuga, but I know for a fact they won't give you the secret to that jutsu since I'm a member of them."
"That what I was afraid of. It looks like I'll have to figure it out on my own. Do you know where I can find some book released to wind basic chakra?"
"Yes, actually, there should be some on the far side of the library."
"Thank senpaI" like that he was off.
He found the books he was looking for. The book mentioned earlier the chakra network, and the second one was about wind-type chakra.
He headed home for the day to do some much-needed reading.
Fortunately for him, the book in question wasn't terribly long.
The first one he read was about the chakra network and points.
He was glad he got it as it gave him some insight into this new technique he was planning.
But there is one hitch.
If he really wants to develop this jutsu, he'll have to deal with the side effects of Kurama chakra.
"This is going to be fun, hehe."
A shiver ran down Naruto's spine from Kurama's choice of words.
After reading through, he went onto the second book.
By the time he was done, it was the early hours of the morning," damn never thought I'd lose track of time just from reading."
He laid down in his bed to get some much-needed sleep.
When he woke up, it was two in the afternoon.
He headed off to the training ground as he had the next few days to train.
He was given a few days a week to train in the hope of controlling Kurama.
Using what he learned from the books, naruto gathered some chakra in his fist and punched the air near some leaves.
To his surprise, he created a small burst of air, pushing it out of the area.
This even shocked Kurama that he was able to do it on the first punch.
He walked to a low-hanging branch to punch the air, this time with his wind chakra.
To his surprise again, he tore off some of the bark.
"Well, I'll be damned you manage to do it on the first try!"
"Good thing, I read that book on the chakra network."
"Good on you. I assume you'll need my power to get a better grasp of this new jutsu you're developing?"
"Yes, please."
"Fine"
Naruto suddenly filled to the brim with Kurama chakra, spending a few minutes keeping his influence at bay before practicing the shockwave ability.
He unleashed shockwaves aftershock waved for about half an hour before using up the chakra Kurama gave him.
"Do you need any more?"
"No, that should be good for now, and thanks. I now have a better grasp of shockwaves, so hopefully, I can use my own chakra to create them."
He spent the rest of the day practicing his new technique.
But at the end of the day, he progressed steadily. Finally, using his chakra control exercise, he could determine a limit depending on the magnitude of the attack.
Before the anbu, he would just keep practicing the technique without thinking and wasting all his chakra.
But now, he's learned to, as some would say, pace himself.
His allowed him to focus more on doing the jutsu rather than how much chakra is needed.
Unfortunately, since he created this jutsu from scratch, so to speak, he has no choice. Still, he tries different ways to see the most effective way to create shockwaves as he hoped.
He was so focused on this new jutsu he didn't notice Lion, and few Hyuga clan members watching him.
"Impressive, he can create a jutsu just from using a fraction of the foxes chakra," Lion mused.
"He's not a Hyuga, but he has a base understanding of clan taijutsu," another one said.
"It shouldn't be a surprise he had the fox sealed in him, so being able grapes how to release chakra from a specific body part isn't that hard to understand."
This time, it was Hiashi, scaring them all at his sudden appearance.
"Don't forget he took a book on the chakra network and points when he was at the library yesterday coupled with his anbu training.
"True, but keep an eye on him while I send word to the Hokage on this little development," with his piece said Hiashi shunshined away.
"What do you suppose the old man wants with Naruto? Lion"
"No idea, maybe he's afraid he might discover the secret to our jutsu, or maybe he wants to see what is so special about this kid to be in anbu at ten years old."
"I doubt it's about our jutsu. Even if Naruto did, he doesn't have the training, and he doesn't look the type either."
"I'll stay here to see how's he doing. Then, you guy can head back to the compound," Lion stated.
"Hai"
"From what lord Hokage said, Naruto might end up creating a jutsu only he can do with those shockwaves" he remained there in the trees making notes if something caught his eye.
One week later
Naruto, just waking up for the day, planned on taking a mission and wanted to get out of the village.
He's been wanting to do this for a few days since he noticed an extra pair of eyes a few days ago.
He stood before the Hokage
"What is it, Naruto?"
"I would like to take a mission. I need the money, and between you and me, I need a break from the village for a few days," Naruto whispered that last part.
Hiruzen simply nodded and gave another job delivering the documents around the land of fire.
He took Kukiko with him this time as they haven't seen each other in just a week.
They agreed to meet at the secret north gate for anbu agents.
"You got everything? it is going to take us a few days to deliver these documents."
"Yep, let's head out," she bolted off with him not far behind.
For the most part, the trip was uneventful.
They chatted back and forth for the first two days, and Naruto even mentioned the jutsu he was working on.
Kukiko was ecstatic as she was perfecting her water jutsu as well.
She can now hold their jutsu for longer and can even crush certain rocks with the water's hands now.
That was till they were nearing the land of lightning.
Despite the fact, there was a country in between them.
"Kurama, any idea how close that chakra signature is?"
"Not very far. Keep your guard. I don't mind seeing him, but he's a foreign ninja. The last thing we need is another war breaking out."
"Duly noted."
They pushed onward till they reach their destination.
It is a small trading post between the lands to regulate what goes in and out of the nations.
Naruto called for them to stop just shy of the tree line.
"What is it, Naruto?"
"I got a bad feeling about this place. So, as a precaution, I need you to stay in the shadows. I assume you know how to do that?"
"Of course."
"Good because I'm gonna have delivered the document as a civilian."
"Hai"
With this word spoke, Naruto quickly changes to look like a traveler before leaving the tree line.
With killer bee
"Yo Gyuki, you better not be pulling my leg, fool," the large man with brown skin and blonde hair said in cramping rap.
"I know Kurama nearby and his container. Remember, he's not our enemy, so try not to start anything."
"You think I'm a fool, ya fool!" Gyuki Just sweat drops from his containers, lousy rap.
With Naruto
He was walking toward the trading post with an envelope in hand.
Making sure not to arouse suspicion in himself.
At no time, he found the building he was looking for and met up with the boss, handing over the third Hokage letter.
"Thank you, young man, and tell Hiruzen to stop by for some tea so we can catch up."
"Will do, sir" with those words, he left to man to his own devices.
When he was on his way back, he notices a small dining establishment.
With his hand, he let out a small bird sound. A few moments later, kukiko came out from an alley dressed as a traveler as well.
"You needed something!"
"Yeah, was wounder if your hungry," he pointed to the restaurant.
"Yeah, actually I am," she said, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Good, it's on me today, but that isn't an excuse to pig out."
"I'm not Choji," she said in a huff, getting a small chuckle from her brother.
They quickly found their seat and gave the waitress their orders.
Kukiko gats a salad with some rice with some tea.
Naruto got the same thing except instead of a salad. He got some fish Instead.
After a few minutes, the food arrived.
They ate their food in comfortable silence before paying for their meals.
They made it back to the tree line before changing into their anbu gear.
They were about to head back to the village when an older man suddenly appeared with a cloud ninja headband.
"Yo, what are the small ninja like you doing around here, fool ya fool."
The duo just stared at the man with blank expressions.
"Sorry, but we're on a mission, and last time I check, we're in the land of fire, so why are you here?" Naruto said in an authoritative tone.
"Do not confuse my actions, little one just had the feeling one of my kind was in these parts" he continued to rap, poorly at that.
"Been a while Kurama"
"Same for you to Gyuki."
This shocked the two containers in question before pointing an accusatory finger at the other.
"You hold a tailed beast!" They said in unison.
