บท 48: Perfection - Imperfection
Katio was evading a fist from Naruto and redirecting to kick him away from himself. Sasuke and Sakura were fast on their feet to engage him and keep him busy.
The four of them were honing their Taijutsu while also standing on water.
Kaito had to smirk while evading and parrying the hits. At a mistake in Sasuke's attack, an opportunity showed itself that Kaito used and that got Sasuke thrown into the water.
While he took a swim his focus went to the last opponent.
seeing Sakura's serious expression made Kaito wonder. He made a wink at her to fool around. That actually surprised Sakura and she even blushed.
"And you lost focus..." Kaito swiped her feet off the water and let her swim as well. The large splash that Sakura produces even got him somewhat wet.
Slicking his wet hair back with both hands he stood atop the water and looked at the three swimmers only looking at him fiercely with their heads sticking out of the water.
"I win." Kaito grinned and made a victory sign.
"Tsk." Sasuke slowly struggled up the water as if using stairs.
"Looks like all of you got the hang of water walking now." Kaito was pleased by the immense progress these fellas made. That was especially so for his brother. Naruto was still wobbly on his feet but actually made it as well.
It was a skill he would only learn much later from Jiraiya after all.
But at the same time this was effectively the most they could make out of the little time they had to train.
"Now you have to teach us!" Naruto was now complaining for Kaito not to forget his promise.
"Alright, alright. Let's go on land first.", answered Kaito and walked over to where Kakashi was sitting under a tree and reading.
When they arrived Kaito started thinking. "Okay, Naruto first." Kaito raised his hand a red orb of chakra gathered. It was first small but slowly grew until it was the size of a tennis ball.
"This right here is called the Rasengan. It is a technique made by Yondaime." Kaito looked at his Jutsu and contemplated if it really was such a good idea teaching him this so soon.
Kakashi who saw that immediately closed his book. He was shocked to see the technique of his own teacher being used by Kaito.
"Whoa! I want to learn it!" But Naruto had suddenly stars in his eyes. "A Jutsu made by the fourth!"
Kaito had to chuckle lightly. If their father knew how his son reacted he would probably feel embarrassed.
"Don't be too enthusiastic. It's pretty hard to learn. You will probably be already back in Konoha by the time you manage to get the hang of this.", stated Kaito.
"So is this a wind-based Jutsu? There were no hand signs just now.", asked Sakura.
"Actually this technique is a pure chakra construct. It has no real element to it." Kaito still remembered how he tried to keep adding wind to it when he first learned it. It was such a stupid idea really and it was basically what he came to realize after reading the scroll given by Hiruzen.
It was like trying to run on the water while not being able to do so on a tree.
"I thought you would give us Jutsu based on our elements?" Sasuke was now the one asking this.
"Yep, it's just that I don't really have any good wind Jutsu that compliment my brother's knack for Taijutsu. Since he is always at the forefront of battles he needs a technique that compliments that aspect." releasing his Rasengan he started printing hand signs.
They were monkey, dragon, rat, rooster, ox, snake, dog, tiger, monkey. After that, he held his hand in front of himself.
Kakashi who saw this was now completely shocked. "When did you!?" He even spoke and went over.
"Hmm, is something the matter, Kakashi-sensei?", asked Sakura when he saw their Sensei approach after seeing Kaito using a Jutsu that let electricity appear on his hand.
Kaito only smirked. "Well, I guess it is best to let the creator of this Jutsu explain it."
"Huh!?" All three were surprised by that fact. "It's sensei his Jutsu?"
Kakashi only sighed. "What Kaito performed just now is called the Chidori. But who taught you that?"
"It was you. I am quite perceptive. Copying the seals and then trying it out is easy." That was of course a damn lie but at the same time not entirely.
"Is that so...Then what do you think about my Jutsu? And who is the one learning it?", asked Kakashi with intrigue now.
"Sasuke, it is a lightning-based Jutsu that compliments his quickness. And generally speaking, it is inferior to the Rasengan in terms of power. But since Sasuke is a Ninjutsu specialist it should be easy to adjust this depending on the situation. For example..." Kaito aimed his arm away from himself and let the Chidori grow out, making a pure electric blade. "Like this."
"Wow, your Jutsu can change shapes, Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto grinned and was also amazed by this.
Even Sasuke was intrigued. It would give him more versatility.
Kakashi on the other hand only scratched the backside of his head when hearing Naruto. 'But I can't use it like that...', he thought but didn't tell him. This gave Kakashi an even greater picture at how smart this kid really was.
To perform a Jutsu based on hand signs alone, judge it's power, and then make variants of it...
"Say...Can you ad more lightning nature to it?" It was only a small remark from Kakashi that he accidentally added when thinking but the next second Kaito lowered his arm and then the Chidori started humming like thousand birds. The intensity of the lightning increased and sparked around more.
"I can, but the Jutsu becomes rather unstable...And with all the lightning dancing around I can barely see anything to aim properly. I guess one would need the Sharingan?" Kaito knew that Kakashi was asking him if he could change it into Raikiri.
The problem with usability was also the factor that made him stagger in training this Jutsu further. I guess some Jutsu just needed visual prowess.
"Wait...How about...." Just that moment Kaito realized something. He was only blinded by it, right? Does that mean if he lowers the spectrum of light it emits then it should be fine? Just at that thought, the electricity started to change and dim down to purple color.
*Lightning Release: Purple Lightning Cutter created*
"Huh..." Holding it back up he inspected it. It was much better to handle now. Interesting "Well, why did I not think about that sooner..." He then swiped his arm and let the Shiden dance in the air until it crashed on the ground making an explosion and charring the ground.
By the look, all Jutsu become somewhat melee and ranged based after adding nature manipulation to them. Makes sense if one considers the Jutsu may start absorbing natural energy from the surroundings to keep themselves up.
Of course not on the same level as Senjutsu but still powerful.
"Whoa..." Naruto looked at the outcome. "That is powerful."
"It is..." Kakashi's eye seemed to tremble in disbelief at the moment. 'You actually improved the Raikiri just now...And even made it look so easy. Just what are you?'
If Kaito could answer, he would say cheats are just how they are. And he had some knowledge at how to make it since Kakashi would be the one improving it anyway.
Kakashi sighed. "How do you want to name this? You just created a new Jutsu."
Kaito realized this now as well. "oh, I don't think it is mine. It was sensei's question that got me to change it. So it should be your honor to do so."
Kakashi looked at Kaito and they both stared at each other. 'This brat is trying to keep a low profile...' "Fine, Shiden it is then."
Kaito only smirked at him naming it the same. When Kaito looked back at Naruto and Sasuke he clapped his hands. "Time to train, huh. Let's see who is going to get it faster?"
"I will be the one!", exclaimed Naruto.
"Dream on.", snorted Sasuke.
"Hey! And what about me!?", shouted Sakura in complaint.
"Oh, I nearly forgot. Sorry" Kaito actually forgot that he had to give Sakura one as well. Now this will be hard.
What would suit her? Sakura never really showed any signs of using anything else but her strength and medic Jutsu. Her overall abilizy is average besides her good control of her chakra.
Genjutsu is an option but Kaito is not that well versed in it to actually make her become good. That fluke with Zabuza was only because he didnt expect him to use such a technique.
But that is a good way to change that and make her useful, right? He could only smirk at that thought.
You know what? Maybe he could even make her a second Mei Terumii. And that woman was definitely a good water style user. Not to forget about the second Hokage....
What is he even thinking? Those were Kage level people one with two blood limits and the other a genius. Let's just try making her useful until she is taught by Tsunade.
"Hmm, I think since you are the support type ninja it should be fine to give you two Jutsu based on water. I will teach you Water Prison and Water Whip. They may not be totally offensive and only B rank Jutsu but they have great compatibility with Sasuke and Naruto."
Sakura only squinted her eyes. Somehow she felt slightly offended. Poor girl.
