65 Leave and Return

I realised that I really became a monster. I became way too strong. Now I believe that even without my Susanoo I am as strong as a Kage. I don't know if I would win in a face to face fight. But in a battle of attrition they would fall of exhaustion before I do, whichever Kage it is. The only ones that threaten me are Onoki wit his dust release that has a destruction power so great that only my perfect Susanoo would be able to defend against it.

The other threats could be the tailed beast but the strongest, Kyubi is in Kushina and I can control him, so the most dangerous would be eight tail or three tail if there is water around. The others I am sure I would be able to defeat them.

After this, with Mikoto we took another leave and departed. Of course we informed people close to us before. We were disapointed that we would not be able to see Sakumo but we would still be able to see him when we will return.

With this we moved away from the village and once far enough from the village I activvated my Susanoo and we flied to Suna. We went as high as we could, stopping before the clouds and looked at the desert.

We were searching for sandstorms and saw that at one place there was one not moving. We went toward it and entered with the Susanoo. Seeing that we would be able to stay inside it with our bodies only, I deactivated the Susanoo.

We were strong enough to not be sent flying by the winds so we sat in meditation holding hands. Mikoto had to first identify the wind essence around but as we were inside a sanstorm there were a lot of wind essence around us. She only took a few seconds so we began to accomodate our bodies to the wind essence.

After three hours we felt that the sandstorm was weakening in power. We were still not absorbing, so it did not really bothered us. We began to fly again and found another one. We accomodated for an entire day before eginning to absorb the essence.

If we only took one day it was because even though it would take a month in Konoha, that is because there is not enough wind essence in the air. But now inside a tornado there are enough to accomodate quickly.

But because this was a normal kind of wind, not a special like the purple fire, we could not do it in only half an hour. After this began our training and it took us more time to master it. Mikoto mastered it a bit after me, as she mastered it on the day of my 20th birthday. We did not immediately began our training to see what were our new capabilities.

Instead we first celebrated my birthday. It was fun and we had a great time, we did it in a cave. After an eventful night, the next day we sparred. We finally discovered what it brought to us. And it was amazing. This sage mode allowed us to enhance our control over our body. That means that we also had a better chakra control.

While this might look like it is not an important and powerful enhancement, in fact it changes a lot of things, especially for me. First this make easier any genjutsu, so we now could be said to be masters in genjutsu.

We also use our jutsu better than before. Second this enhance our control over our bodies so we now are better in our taijutsu. There were a lot of other uses but the most important one is for me. That is I can now almost coat my Susanoo. This is because I can now make a layer way thinner than the ones I could make before, and with the purity of my chakra even a thin layer like this is able to make a coat.

But there is one thing that is even more important, that is the second power the wind sage mode grant us. It enhances our chakra reserve. So now I solved the last problem to coat my Susanoo, that is a big enough chakra reserve.

It might look strange on the paper to coat a thing made from Chakra in a layer of chakra. Indeed it would not be possible with the first stage of elemental coating, but now with the second stage there is some elementary essence along the chakra so it works.

So this makes another powerup for us. But there is one strange thing, that is I had more effect than Mikoto. The two I listed before were the ones we had in comon, but I also now have like a permanent wind coating.

Indeed the effect became permanent. Now I cannot make a wind coating anymore. That also means that every attack of mine will have more cutting power than an attack with the same weapon and strenght. Also my mouvements are naturaly impredictable.

Even my way of walking became strange, from an outsider POV it seems like with every step I could go in all directions. This also enhance my evading capabilities. It took around two years for us to complete this training, so it was time to come back to the village.

This time we did not returned using the Susanoo, we decided instead to walk back to the village. We did not stop by any village, and only stopped one time to sleep. So this time, even though we walked at the same pace than the last time, we only took eight days.

We were relieved to see that the village was not yet on a high security, that means the war has not yet started. We came in the village, and when we passed the ninjas that were guardin the entrance were surprised to see us.

I did not bother with them and went toward the Hokage's office. Mikoto for herself decided to go toward our house. As I was walking I saw that quite a few things changed in the streets. First there were more ninjas than before, and the people were not as negative as before.
