Intense training Pt.3 (private no kill)

The clouds rumbled as thunder cracked acorss the sky which awoke him from his sleep. Zanji lay in his armchair inside his home a book on his lap  and slid onto the floor as he was startled by the sound of thunder.  He let out a sigh and took a calming breath and rubbed his eyes sleepily. He reached down in front of him as he picked up the book he had been reading. It was titled tales of a gutsy ninja written by Jiraya. He had gotten a good half way through the book before he had dozed off. He let out a great big yawn and stretched his arms and legs out. He turned his head and looked out at the window and saw that it was pouring rain down from the clouds. But he could make out in the distance the rising sun. Dawn such a peaceful time of day. It seemed like the only time of day when he felt he could feel at peace with himself. He had so many worries on his mind he was to fight against a fellow leaf shinobi. Something he did not particularly relish doing but in a way it was necessary to do it.

He had his doubts though. Doubts about this whole test to become Hokage He was sure the previous Hokage would not agree with how things were being done now. He wished he could confer with them and ask for their guidance.  There was a way to do that but it was not exactly tolerated. It was a dark jutsu one of the strongest in the world created by the second Hokage. the edo tensei jutsu was legendary in the ninja world some say if you have it you become a god. Others say you will achieve fame greater than any ninja in the history of the world.  He sighed and got up from his chair and placed his book back on his shelf. But that jutsu was to be for another time he was not yet financially stable to even try to attempt that jutsu. He heard rumblings of it being for sale on the black market but he hardly believed rumors. He was a man of intelligence and elt with facts not mere whispering of low life criminals. He cracked his neck to the right  and then left the cartilage cracking loudly inside his ear drums,

The rain began to slowly die down as the storms clouds began to drift slowly way to the west. The training field would be absolutely soaked and slippery if he was to go train there.He had time to kill more than time really hours perhaps he would just train at home for awhile then make his way out. It was probably a better decision plus he could get some food and train at the same time.  He got up and left his reading room and sleepily walked towards the kitchen. Turning on his lights as he made his way to the fridge and grabbed a carton of milk and grabbed a bowl and spoon and a box of cereal between his teeth.  He wanted to do a quick meal after all he had precious little time til he was to do his battle for Hokage.  He poured his cereal in his bowl and added his milk and quickly scarfed it down. He ate another bowl and took it over to the sink and washed it out.  He let out a loud belch  and wiped his face off with a dish towel and set off heading off towards the roof.

His foot steps echoed up the stair case of his building as he ascended upwards. He had a smile on his face as he reached the roofs door. He stepped onto the concrete roofing his foot steps splashing as he stepped in a large puddle soaking  up to his ankle.  He rolled his eyes and  tried to kick his leg free of the excess water. This was not the way he wanted to start out his morning. with all this water around him he could make use of it especially since he did not need to create his own water source. He brought his hands together and made the tiger hand seal and made four water clones of himself from the nearby rain puddles on the roof.  He smiled and cracked his knuckles out towards himself. "Well gentlemen  you know why i made you lets get going to the training field shall we." His clones smiled and nodded there heads and  turned there attention out towards the direction of the training field. The real zanji smiled and  moved towards the roofs edge and jumped off and ran across the roofs his clones right behind him. He skidded across the moist grass, and  ran up a tree and sat on a branch awaiting his clones arrival.

Wave was flying through the skies of Konoha when he saw a man up on a nearby rooftop. He continued to fly overhead for a few minutes as he pondered what the man could possibly be doing on the roof. As he watched the man he then formed a hand seal and Wave thought that he had saw him. Wave wasnt at home in Konoha so he wasnt sure if he would be attacked on sight or not. He saw the man make the seal and suddenly 4 clones appeared. Wave was slightly nervous for a minute until he saw that they were water clones. Wave then lost all nervousness he had and he decided that maybe he should go down and speak to the man and see what he was planning. Wave put on his mask and his trench coat was currently halfway down thus showing his skin tight stealth suit and his wings, along with his Anbu armor. Wave descended down to the rooftop however just as he did so the man and the clones all left. Wave watched them do this however he watched them all travel along. Wave took flight yet again and he watched as they all went across some grass and then the one that appeared to be the original hopped onto a branch. Wave would then drop back down to the ground in front of the man and the water clones and quickly raised his hands into the air as his feet touched the roof to show that he meant no harm. He looked to the man and said "Hello there sir. Hows it going up?" His voice would be smooth and deep as he stood there as he waited for the man to reply. If he felt like the man saw he meant no harm he would lower his hands and say "So what you doing with the clones? Seems like you about to go off to battle..."

Zanji sighed as he cracked his knuckles individually as he flexed his hand as he awaited the arrival of his clones. They were so slow in his opinion but he at least had some training companions even if they were just himself. HE clicked his tongue behind his teeth as the clones arrived a few moments after he did. Each clone had a look of concentration on there faces as the looked around for the creator. He  Let out a loud yawn and stretched out his arms and looked at his clones. The distant sound of thunder booming in the far of west. He looked at hsi clones and spoke "Alright boys time for round two lets get it going now." He clapped his hands in a commanding manner and suddenly froze. He heard the sound of flapping wings coming he narrowed his eyes and  tensed his muscles. Something very large was coming  perhaps it was a large bird of some type. He looked around and then heard a voice address him. He turned his head to the sound of the voice and saw that it was a man flying in the air. He tilted his head curiously as the man appeared to have wings growing out of his back.

He cracked his knuckles on his free hand and quickly turned about to study the man better. He watched as he descended further and he looked straight at him. A look of curiosity upon his face as he began the process of trying to figure out what this man was. It didn't take him long before he realized could only be  one of two things a special kekkai genkai or some sort of assimilation ninjutsu. He paused and put on a friendly face and saw the mans suna headband. " Ah a sand shinobi  well welcome to the leaf, Im just getting ready to train is all i have to prepare for a major battle tomorrow." He sighed and bent his legs and hung upside down on the tree branch and just lay hanging his hair dangling. His clones walked up to him and helped him down from the branch gently placing him on his feet and moved back to there original position. He cracked his neck to the side and counted the clones again. "Hmm lets see 4 of you hmm should be adequate enough for now. Alright boys two of you start the others wait for there turn lets begin!"

He remained still for a few moments as he kept one eye on the man with wings. That man had a air of mystery to him. He  turned his attention back to his clones  and his eyes widened in shock. Each one had created a Rasengan in there hand and chuckled teasingly at him. He knew he would regret learning how to make a Rasengan without a clone someday but he did not figure it would be so soon.He got into a guarding stance and took a few calming breaths. The clones charged towards him in a crisscross formation.he could easily follow the clones movements and bent down He charged towards them sprinting at full speed. He grabbed each clone by the arm that held the Rasengan and spun them around and launched them into two separate trees.  The rasengan's hit the trees and burrowed into the tree trunks  leaving spiral-shaped wound that cracked the trees  and made the top half turn into splinters. Little bits of wood fell leaving only the trees stumps left standing.  He  watched as the clone were hit  with some larger debri and turn into liquid puddles returning them to there original watery form.

Wave watched the man and the clones get ready for some type of training exercise. He put himself at major odds as it appeared that it was the 4 clones against him. Wave thought for a second that *This is obvious... If he evenly distributed his chakra among them then the 4 clones will win.* However this observation was terribly wrong as Wave would soon find out. The clones made groups of two and then would soon begin to form a orb in the hand of the two lead clones. The orb was a perfect sphere meaning it required a great deal of chakra control and it was blue in color showing that it had no element combined into it. This made Wave to think and figured out what it was. The jutsu was a very old and powerful jutsu, one that was created by the fourth hokage of konoha. The ultimate chakra control jutsu, also know as the Rasengan.

Wave was amazed to see someone else using the jutsu, a jutsu that was thought to be lost along with Naruto Uzumaki. Thinking of Uzumakis, Wave knew that almost all of them had red hair and strong chakra reserves. And looking at the man he also had red hair and must have had good chakra reserves and control in order to do the rasengan. Wave thought *I should add his DNA and jutsu to my collection.* Wave watched the man trash the clones and treat them like they were nothing and watched as the trees the rasengans crashed into were basically destroyed. Wave then looked to the man and said "Hey you are a Uzumaki right? If so give me some of your blood and teach me that jutsu and i'll make it worth your while pal! Scouts honor I promise!" Wave then ran over to the man's front holding his hands in a seemingly begging position as he then removed his mask slowly. He could only hope that the man would teach him the jutsu and give him some blood. However Wave didnt think it would be that easy.

Zanji cracked his neck to the side and looked at the two remaining clones. It was such a pity they were so weak but he had to make do with what he could. He turned his head as he watched the sand ninja take off his mask. He canceled out the two remaining clones and heard a splashing sound as they returned to there liquid state. He didn't want to have to keep pumping chakra into his worthless clones if he didn't have to. He turned his head over and looked at the man as he spoke. He had asked him a most bizarre request he wanted some of his blood and to teach him the rasengan. Well he did enjoy teaching new jutsu to others it was a great way to bond with someone new. However this man was not from the leaf village so he was somewhat hesitant. Though on the other hand it could mean some potencial profit according from the sand shinobi. He was in a tough moral dilemma and he needed to quickly choose otherwise he would most likely loose the sand ninjas offer. He sighed and cracked his toes inside his sandals and stared straight into the suna ninjas eyes a look of conviction on his face as he spoke clearly "Alright you have a deal."

He moved slowly towards the sand ninja and stopped about half way and took out a syringe and rolled up his sleeve carefully. He flexed his arm and tapped on his veins to make it more visible and slowly injected the needle into his arm and began to draw out the blood. The precious red liquid of life filled the syringes vial as he stood tll not even flinching in the slightest. His precious uzumaki blood filled the vial and he slowly pulled out the needle and rolled his sleeve back down. He pocketed the vial and smiled at the shinobi. "You'll get the blood after I teach you this. Now I remind you this is a most difficult jutsu to learn so i ask for your patience." He cleared his throat and held out the palm of his hand "This jutsu is the highest form of shape manipulating ones own chakra so I'll be using some visual aids to help the process go by quicker." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a balloon and walked over to a nearby stream and filled it up with water and tied it off. He reached into his pocket and filled up three more balloons and tied them off and brought them over to the unknown shinobi.

"Now watch closely the first step of the exercise is I want you to move the water inside the balloon in multiple directions at once using only your chakra till the balloon bursts." Zanji then channeled his chakra into teh water the water began to move about slowly at first as it sloshed around inside its watery confines. Suddenly the water bean to move about violently the rubber confines stretching out sporadically until at last the balloon exploded inside his hand. The water and bits of balloon clung to his hand as he shook it off. There was something actually fulfilling about this teaching thing perhaps he would request to be a sensei should he win his trial. He was going to need to get some more materials most likely in order to teach this shinobi how to make a rasengan. He was unsure of the mans capabilities but perhaps the man could surprise him with his talents he would offer advice and subtle hints should the man ask for it. He slowly sat down on the ground and watched and awaited to see the mans capabilities..

Wave seemed surprised as the man seemingly agreed to his deal but without saying a word. The man poked himself with a needle in his arm as he then drew his own blood Wave was eager to get his hands on it however the man pocketed it instead of giving it straight to him. The man said he would give Wave the blood after teaching him the rasengan. Wave assumed that the man wouldnt bother to give him the blood if he couldnt learn the technique. And so the trials would begin, as the man went and filled up some ballons with water to start teaching Wave the rasengan. Wave knew the technique was the ultimate form of shape manipulation something that was very difficult to do, far more difficult than nature manipulation something any ninja could and should be able to do. Wave would watch the man as he made the ballon bust and water and ballon bits flew everywhere. Wave would then mentally still and prepare himself to do it. He took the ballon and began to push chakra into it. The water inside began to spiral around and around for a while and then it began to protrude in certain areas all around the ballon just like it did with the man's.

Wave put seeming the bare minimum amount of chakra into the ballon seeing as he was a medical ninja he was used to starting slow and then going faster with the chakra input. After about a minute Wave increased his chakra input and the ballon began to protrude wildly all over and seeming dangerously. After another minute all that could be heard was a loud popping sound. That sond was the ballon bursting to pieces, something Wave was proud of. Even though he knew he could do it from the beginning. Such a task as this was far too easy for a master at medicine and ninjutsu. After the ballon popped Wave looked to the man and said "Now what shall you have me do next?" Wave was confident that he could master the rasengan and maybe do something new that nobody had ever before done with it. Wave planned on combining the lightning element of the chidori and the shape manipulation of the rasengan to make a all new powerful jutsu. However he must first master the rasengan. Wave would look at the man and wait to see what exactly he would do next to master this jutsu.

Zanji stood tall and watched as the shinobi caught the water balloon and held it in his hand. He stared down the shinobi but with a smile of friendship on his face. He wanted to make more friends after all it always paid off to have allies. He watched as the man began to try and move the water with only his chakra. He watched the water balloon with his left eye and the body movements of the shinobi. After all the shinobi could always attack him after he learned the technique should he learn it but he would not be taken by surprise. Perhaps it was just the paranoia in his mind setting in. But he did not truly trust this man yet. Though the offer the man had given him nagged in the back of his head. He seemed like a trust worthy sort but he needed to be absolutely sure. More importantly he needed to see if this man was even capable of being able to utilize the rasengan. He smiled as he watched the water balloon in the sand shinobi hand popped.

"Well well color me impressed you learned the first step quickly but that was the easy part." He reached into his back satchel and pulled out a rubber ball and tossed it in the air a few times and caught it in his hand. "Now for step two my friend do the same thing you just did and see if you can pop the rubber ball." He tossed the rubber ball at the sand shinobi and grabbed a balloon in his pocket and took a great big inhalation of air and began to fill up the balloon with air. After a few hard breathes he tied the balloon off and held it in his hand. "Once you have popped the ball take this balloon combine both step one and two by spinning your chakra inside this balloon without moving the balloon itself if you can do this then you will be able to form a rasengan." He cracked his neck to the side and stretched up his arms and let out a yawn. "By the way I have been terribly rude I haven't introduced myself I'm Zanji Uzumaki who might you be?"
