16 Chapter 15

"The next step of the rasengan is power." Jiraiya said taking a thick rubber ballon and bursting it. "This is what you want to do. Anything less won't do." Jiraiya said. Sasuke stood with them as Naruto and Bastion began the second step of the rasengan. Unlike the other step Bastion couldn't just burst it. He had the power, he couldn't bring it to bear. Jiraiya smirked. "It isn't easy is it." Jiraiya said.

Bastion thought about what he was doing. This technique was great for close range, but it wasn't his goal. In a year, he should have more chakra than Shikaku. He had an idea of how to rank up Fisting Gaia. It involved a lot of chakra and taking the skill to the next level. The skill itself came with a lot of leeway. He could open and close the hand, swing the fist, and even grab things. There was an idea of creating a rasengan with the hand. Then there was the ludicrous thought of creating a golem with the skill. "It is possible." Ouro added. That had Bastion thinking.

The sun was up and with it a vast amount of solar radiation hitting the planet. Instead of pulling from boulders, he pulled from the sun's rays. It wasn't a vast amount of energy, but he could digest it easier. During the day this technique raised his chakra by 25,000 an hour.

His chakra control would suffer, he wore heavier weights than ever and constantly used chakra enhancement. This was improving his control by using only as much energy as needed. Instead of wasting 90% of his chakra on enhancement he only wasted 75%. By next year he planned to bring that down to 50% or lower.

Days later they arrived at another city.

"Let's go eat at one of the bars." Jiraiya said.

"My respect for the Sanin has dwindled since meeting two. One is a pedophile and the other is a lecherous old man. What's wrong with the last one? Hn." Sasuke said in exasperation.

"Hey at least he's teaching an awesome Jutsu stronger than the Chidori." Naruto said. Sasuke shrugged. Bastion knew he was sour about having too little chakra to learn it.

"The Rasengan isn't your style anyway. Its too imprecise. The only way you can hit someone with it is either by surprise or Genjutsu. I mean if I saw Naruto running at me with a rasengan, I would try to throw a clone or something in his way to waste it." Bastion said. His sharingan eyes swirling picking out Sasuke's expressions.

"Hey, I'm great at surprising people." Naruto said. Bastion nodded without a second thought.

"This is a jutsu made for chakra tanks. Hey Naruto when you get some better chakra control I was thinking about a mini variant. Like take the rasengan and shrink it until it fits on the tip of your finger." Bastion said. Naruto shrugged.

"Hey why do you have your sharingan active all the time? Doesn't than eat into your reserves?" Sasuke asked. Bastion shook his head.

"No, my reserves recover faster than the sharingan can drain them. I prefer to see with the sharingan. It feels natural now."

"Hn." Sasuke said.

Bastion held out his balloon and willed vast amounts of chakra into it. The balloon exploded into multiple pieces.

They sat at the bar and there was Tsunade Senju and her assistant Shizune. "Hey big sis would you mind coming back to Konoha." Bastion said. Saying that she could be his older sister was the polite thing to do. His sharingan could see through the illusion but he knew of her temper and power. It was selfish. He wanted her strength and healing technique.

She looked up seeing their party Jiraiya smirked while Sasuke sighed. "That's who we were looking for. She doesn't look old enough at all." Jiraiya whispered that she hides her age under an illusion. "Hey grandma come back to Konoha." Just like that Naruto ruined any good will she would have given us.

"Hey, Jiraiya who's the shrimp not the Uchiha's. And kid nice eyes." Bastion grinned in the way only kids could.

"Look Tsunade hime we need you. Sensei is ready to give up the hat and I'm no good for it." Jiraiya said. Tsunade took a drink and nodded.

"I can believe that but why the whole team. Don't tell me you took on another team. That one looks like your last student and two Uchiha, the last loyal ones at that. Sensei likes to put it all on your shoulders doesn't he. Why not take the hat yourself and leave me be?" Tsunade said.

"Please come back, Hokage sama said he would train me if you came back." Bastion said.

Tsunade snorted. "Why do you want to be a ninja, little brother." Tsunade said with a wink and a small smile.

"For now, it is to repay the village it rescued me after Itachi slew my mother and stabbed me in the womb. I still have the scar if you want to see it." Bastion said. Tsunade's eyes widened, then glared releasing killing intent.

"Sensei would throw a low blow. For now, so you won't always owe the village?" Tsunade asked.

"There are limits to my loyalty. I'm not killing children or wiping out clans when ordered to. I know more about the Uchiha massacre than most. I also know who is guilty. It isn't the village, the Uchiha, or even Itachi." Jiraiya and Tsunade shared a look. Bastion shook off his serious expression.

"If Itachi isn't to blame then who is." Sasuke said.

"Who benefits with so many Sharingan ripe for the taking, who's high ranking enough to order the Massacre and benefit?" Bastion said. His emotions weren't under his control. He was spilling his secrets and he couldn't stop.

"Enough, Tsunade please come back with us." Jiraiya said.

"The village took so much from me." Tsunade said.

"Then set it right. Ensure that the village regains what it had under your grandfather. Before the rats moved in." Bastion said. She stared at him in a way that he hadn't been stared at before.

"Who needs this old Baa chan anyway. She doesn't look like much." Naruto said.

"Brat I'll beat you down." Bastion stepped back and let them argue. Their personalities clashed in a way that would naturally benefit them.

"Alright how about this, if you can beat me in a fight I'll be the Hokage." Tsunade said. And they brawled. Tsunade flicked him sending Naruto through walls. Then Naruto attempted a rasengan and it fluttered out.

"You taught him the rasengan. What a joke." Bastion listened in as she offered a crystal of condensed natural energy if he could master it within a week. This was it, Bastion realized. In a week, he would have to face Orochimaru and Kabuto.
