Kapitel 11: Ch11. New connection
Konan opened her eyes and groggily sat down. She felt Rei's hand in hers, squeezing it gently and her cheeks reddened. She looked at Rei and saw his peacefully sleeping face. His older face. She didn't know what gripped her but her heart fluttered at the sight and she wanted to be with him. She wanted to...
Rei opened his eyes only to see an older form of Konan looking at him with an expectant, gentle, and loving gaze. He also saw a flicker of love in her eyes but wrote it off as his wishful thinking.
"Hello." Konan quietly whispered.
"Good morning, Konan." Rei yawned and rubbed his tired eyes.
It was then that both of them remembered what happened the... ah. How much did they sleep? Hour? Day? Week?
The duo looked at each other awkwardly until Rei shrugged.
"No need to worry about it anymore. It happened."
Konan nodded and quickly pecked his lips, leaving him staring at her, completely flabbergasted.
"I love you, Rei." She told him cheerfully.
Rei didn't even manage to process what he just heard but his heart moved his lips for him.
"I love you too, Konan."
They continued to smile at each other.
"Well, we should probably start training." Rei rubbed the back of his head and redirected his stare to the ground, beet-red.
"Un." Konan agreed as she also couldn't help but look towards her fumbling hands with crimson cheeks.
The duo distracted themselves with running, sparing, and training their chakra natures for the day.
The evening quickly came and both Rei's and Konan's feelings were already calm. They knew what they felt for each other. They also knew they would eventually end with each other. It was inevitable. That was what their minds and hearts were telling them. But neither of them was ready for anything more than a peck on the lips. No matter how explorative they felt. They instead channeled the energy into the training and thankfully it helped.
With a calm mind, Rei remembered why he made the linking seal in the first place.
"It's such a pity the seal didn't help you feel the nature energy."
"Oh?" Konan stopped nibbling on her jerky and gulped down what she had in her mouth. "But... I somehow sense the world differently now."
"What?"
Rei looked at her bewildered and then a theory appeared in his mind. What if...
He started to conduct many tests and told Konan to do many things and tell him how she felt and found out a very staggering result.
Konan had a more diluted version of his Godly Nature Attunement Talent. She could sense nature chakra but then...
"Konan! Quickly look at your chakra control!" Rei giddily jumped up and down.
Konan nodded and a few seconds later... squealed.
"It's almost perfect!" In the excitement, she smashed her lips to Rei's, and the kids kissed for a few moments.
As they separated, Rei gently patted bashful Konan.
"Kissing is ok." He told her in a whisper.
Konan raised her head hopefully, her eyes met his as she chewed on her lower lip.
"But nothing more than that."
Konan nodded profusely in happiness and pecked Rei again.
"Now, will you tell me what exactly changed with your chakra control?"
"!" Konan's face morphed to seriousness.
"I need a lesser amount of chakra for better effect. I can better circle it. I became better at manipulating it. And..."
"And?"
"And I have five times the chakra I had before but my control is even better than it was."
Konan finished unsurely and Rei's eyes widened as he instantly felt his own chakra.
He also had five times the amount of what he had before and his control stayed the same. It was still perfect. A lopsided grin appeared on his face.
"Well, Konan-chan. looks like we are on the level of low-chunin with chakra amount!" Rei exclaimed giddily and Konan instantly hugged his torso in happiness. Rei smiled at her and thought.
Guess that means a somewhat diluted version of his Supreme Chakra Control. Check.
After a few moments of relishing their fast growth by patting Konan's head, Rei took a deep breath.
"Now, the last one."
Rei took the storage scroll he first learned on and gave it to Konan.
Konan had slight problems with reading and Kanji but Rei did his best to teach her during the year they were together. She knew enough. As she saw the seal and read through the kanji on it, Konan blinked at Rei.
"I understand it." She whispered to herself.
Konan tried to imitate Rei and learn how to do exploding tags. Even with Rei's help, she has still been dubbed a Godly Clutz Talent when it came to seals by Rei. It had nothing with her penmanship or knowledge. She had a natural problem or predisposition to fuck-up infusing her intentions with her chakra. It was something that COULD NOT be taught by anyone to her. Konan already accepted she will never learn anything Fuinjutsu related unless she spends supreme effort, resources, and time. And even then she would need teachers, books... She just gave up and decided to focus on her futon.
But now...
Now she looked at the seal and knew... she knew what she did wrong previously. Her mind as if... clicked and she was able to...
Oh, God! She was able to, she knew how to do seals!
Konan shrieked in happiness and Rei found himself toppled to the ground as Konan rubbed her head on his chest.
"Huh, sealing talent. Check." He mumbled as he tried to regain his breath. "Well, now you will be able to produce your own explosion tags." He quipped and enjoyed the childish pout on Konan's face. Rei pinched her cheek with a heartfelt laugh, making her pout more.
With a long 'Muuuuuu', Konan nibbled her lower lip in embarrassment.
"Wait... you now feel nature energy, right?" Rei asked for a confirmation.
Konan tilted her head in confusion.
"The energy that is not chakra in the air, plants, everywhere, really. Focus on it. Don't take any of it into your body but make her senses perceive it."
Konan nodded and did as Rei told her. She smiled wide when she could feel the world around herself. It was just so... beautiful. She never thought the dull, grey, and rainy world could be so gorgeous. Her hand squeezed Rei's.
"It's beautiful." Konan hugged Rei.
"Yes. I guess it is." He chuckled. "Now. Up to learn how to hide your chakra?"
Konan nodded enthusiastically. Rei started to explain the principles about coating yourself with nature energy, wearing it as clothes around your chakra and Konan was nodding from time to time.
Then her mind started focusing on the energy around her and she tried to manipulate it.
"Muuuu, I can not move it." She complained.
"Haha, just keep trying." Rei encouraged her while making sure to move more nature energy closer to Konan to make it easier for her.
His giddy mind had only one thought and it brought him joy from the future possibilities.
Guess that really meant she had a lesser Nature Talent Attunement Talent!
Kapitel 12: Ch12. Tree? It's fake! ... Well, figures.
It took Konan three days to learn how to 'move' the nature energy around.
In that time Rei found out their bodies were strengthened quite a bit and could now crack the bark of a tree with his punch. He also managed to coat a kunai in the lightning chakra, making the chakra vibrate at high speed for better sharpness and penetrability.
He now trained with a chokuto he scaven-, ahem, found lying on the ground without an owner. Correction, without an owner who would care.
He could only slash and slash again since he knew nothing about kenjutsu but... slowly, he found out when and where to put more strength and how to handle the sword. Even if it was just waving it around. The second he added lightning chakra, it became a deadly weapon even without any skill with it.
"Rei, Rei!" Konan approached Rei, a question all over her face.
"Hmm?"
"Do you know if I could coat my paper in the nature chakra to make them also invisible to chakra sensors?"
Rei's mind stilled. Possible but...
He instantly held his chokuto in front of him and coated it in his lighting chakra.
"Konan. I am going to do something possibly stupid." Rei smiled brightly at her, making Konan want to smack him.
Rei pulled the raw nature energy and fed it into the raiton chakra without having it go through his body. The lightning instantly grew, the chirping sound was now ferociously reverberating through the woods and the ground under the blade of his chokuto was cracking every time a stray lightning bolt struck it.
The most surprising was the color though. The lightning was pure abyssal black. Not like the one used by 3rd Raikage or Darui. That could be described as light black. This was the blackest of black and Rei had to gulp as he felt the danger from it.
He instantly ceased channeling the nature energy and the lightning simmered back into a controlled blue coating around the blade. He nodded to himself.
"Yes. It is very possible, alright." He told Konan and praised her for the idea with a head pat.
Konna smiled and put a paper on the ground, taking a few steps away from it in case it had a dangerous reaction.
In hindsight, that's what I should have done.
Rei thought with a sweatdrop...
Konan started channeling the raw nature energy into the paper. It was messy and half of her chakra mixed with the nature energy and was absorbed by the ground instead of the paper. But the paper was now simmering with the wind, pulsing with sharpness. It was no longer just a coating of blue futon chakra. It was a translucent wind-like coating that looked extremely sharp.
Konan flung it into the nearby tree and...
Both Rei and Konan were gaping. The paper was so fast it was hard to follow! Moreover, it didn't pierce through the tree as expected. It completely felled it into two pieces on impact and went on, felling ten more trees behind it until the futon chakra dissipated, making the nature energy disperse!
Rei looked at Konan and patted her head with a sigh.
Demolition master, indeed.
Then his eyes fell on the spot where Konan channeled the raw nature chakra mixed with her chakra into the paper.
His jaws dropped again. He yanked Konan towards the place.
Konan was confused. She was full of ideas on how to use her new findings to decimate Rei's enemies. What could be so important he had to interrupt her? She was on the verge of pouting!
But when she saw a small budding sapling slowly growing out of the place the paper was previously on, she tilted her head.
"Mokuton." Rei watched the sapling stop growing when it reached 4 feet because of insufficient chakra. "What did you do?" His head snapped to Konan who nervously fumbled with her fingers.
"I mixed my chakra with the nature energy and wanted futon chakra..." Konan trailed off, not knowing if she did something wrong.
"Of course!" Rei slapped his forehead and started to laugh hysterically.
"You have Wind prevalent with Earth and Water secondary! You just pushed your earth and water natured bits that were still mixed with raw nature energy to the ground while leaving the futon mixed with nature energy in the paper!"
He still chuckled as he explained what just happened and started to mix an entire fifth of his chakra with nature energy and pushed it deep into the ground.
Konan and Rei had to jump away as a tall thick tree quickly rose from the ground. It was not a giant tree that could be found in Konoha but it was still a full-grown tree.
"Oh, well... looks like I gained a 'Kekkei Genkai' too. Even if it is a fake one. Well, figures the Mokuton is not really a Kekkei Genkai of Senju. Instead, it is their attunement to the nature chakra and Hashirama just mixed his elemental chakra with nature chakra. He was supposed to be an incredible sensor, after all." Rei chuckled. "The only Mokuton reproduction is through his cells… yup, it makes sense since his body would get used to channelling it…"
"Rei?" Konan asked, not understanding as he mumbled to himself..
"Listen, Konan. This..."
Rei explained. He explained about Hashirama Senju. The Senju clan. Konoha. And how dangerous it would be to show anyone this ability.
Konan furiously nodded. She had no intention of going to Konoha! Konoha-nin killed her parents! She still held a grudge. That's why when she found out it was Konoha-nin attacking the town, she may or may not have used more exploding tags than she should and made sure lots died! But... Konan was sure Rei noticed. After all, he was creating these tags. She was happy when he decided to say nothing about it. She really loved Rei!
"We will have to train Earth and Water manipulation." Rei sighed. "Thankfully my absolute control means that unless I mean it, no tree will grow no matter how much chakra and nature energy I push into the ground... Really now. I would never know I could do this without a coincidence like this." Rei started chuckling again. It was quite hilarious. He wondered how many Senju actually were able to do Mokuton only to fail at the most basic of things. Intent. They unconsciously didn't believe they could since not once during childhood they unconsciously raised a tree. So, no tree was ever created by them...
Konan never heard of Mokuton so for her creating the tree was nothing extraordinary.
It was a huge mind-opener for Rei if nothing else.
"Well, you Konan will have to train hard to not unconsciously call forth trees." Rei patted her head with a proud smile, making Konan happy. "Your control is pretty much iron-clad but mistakes do happen. We will work on it, kay?" Rei kissed her cheek, determined to train Water and Earth control alongside Konan.
...
A week later, Konan sat cross-legged with a serene smile on her lips and her hands outstretched to the sides, her elbows bent toward the ground and above her palms, a paper floated. On her right one was a paper brown as earth, a clear sight of mastered beginner exercise for Earth nature, and on her left was a paper soaked, dripping cold water onto her palm. For two hours straight, the water didn't stop dripping from the still to the brim soaked paper. A clear sign of beginner level mastery of Water manipulation.
Rei could only sigh as he sullenly watched the soaked paper in-between his palms.
Yes, Yes. I managed only one nature in seven days. Fuck you too.
He thought depressingly. He could not fault Konan though. He knew what his problem was. He might have all natures but Konan was unconsciously using Earth and Water chakra since she learned how to harden her paper or make it not become soaked underwater. From there, it took only slight tweaks to master the first exercises of elemental mastery.
Yet again, the superiority of the elemental Kekkei Genkai holders was thrown into his face. They just could, so they did. They instinctively knew how to do this after using their Kekkei Genkai long enough. No wonder they could reach FAR ahead of the normal ninja. Their minds were geared to master their own element in the quickest time possible. Rei was sure this was not the only time Konan would overtake him in Wind, Earth, or Water. But he knew she had nothing on him in Lightning and most likely Fire too once he started to train it.
Rei, on the other hand, had to do the entire process by ear from start to the end and even then it was possible only due to his exceptional control.
But... If a normal ninja saw him complaining about mastering the first exercise of his element in a week, he would choke on his blood. People train years to do so...
But Rei couldn't help but smile at his observations during these three days as his mind swirled in giddy thoughts.
We now have Mokuton~. The raw nature chakra leads our Earth and Water natured chakra to form the tree. It is the known pinnacle of Earth and Water chakra manipulation and we can do it unconsciously! All we have to do is find out how our chakra does it and BAM! Hehe~...
Oh, Rei was very excited about finally having an elemental Kekkei Genkai Holder advantage, alright!
