37 Chapter 37: Revelation
Raven had to stay one more day, to see if the blocked Tenketsu did more harm than good. When he was released, he found the drive to do better. Anko had to stay in the hospital longer. Whatever Orochimaru used on her, was still affecting her. The first thing he did after leaving the hospital, was catch up on his Fuinjutsu because in the hospital he thought of some possibilities of breaking the test seal. But he couldn't do that under the many eyes of Medic-nin, ANBU, and visitors. Even Anko warned him not to try anything, only in the safety of the barrier at home was he allowed to do anything. So when he arrived home, he activated the barrier and tried his ideas. It took him a few tries but eventually, the seal broke. When the seal broke they released a kind of mist. Raven was wondering what the mist was, but he felt drowsy. He fell down.
Raven woke up by the sight of Saph. She told him that she found Raven on the ground.
The barrier was still up. It only prevents outsiders from coming in, and sound from escaping. It doesn't keep the residents out. Anko made sure that everybody was keyed in.
Saph asked, "What happened to you, Raven? Are you still sick or wounded? Should I bring you back to the hospital?"
"Thanks for the concern, Saph. No, I'm not sick. So, no trip to the hospital."
"But what happened then, Raven?"
"That I still have to find out." Raven started looking around.
"What are you looking for?" Saph asked curiously.
Not finding anything, "Did you only see me unconscious, or did you see anything else, Saph?"
"No, I only saw you, on the ground, next to the table, you train sealing at. I even put the scrolls away you were reading away. Anko has told you not to leave those in the open."
"Yeah, thanks... Wait, scrolls? Saph, can you bring me those scrolls."
"Why?"
"Because they may contain the answer."
"But how is that possible? You should already know what's in the scrolls, you were using them. How can scrolls just appear that you don't know? Wait, are you playing a trick on me? I won't fall for it this time."
"First, that was a harmless prank, second, that wasn't me, and third, please Saph."
"I still don't believe you, I know that prank was you. Anko told me. She won't lie to me."
"Then to be safe, just tell me where you put them. Then if it's a prank, you are on the safe side."
"Ah, yes. That's ok. I put them in the left upper drawer of the desk. The other side was full. You're going to get in problems with Yukino if she finds that clutter in the desk."
Raven closed the distance and kissed Saph on the top of her head. "Thank you, Saph."
Saph wanted to answer, but she was blushing and didn't trust her voice. Raven walked to the desk and opened the drawer Saph told Raven. Inside there were five scrolls. But only three were sealed. He picked the Uzumaki seal on, he would read the one with flame after finding out answers. Saph got out of the mind and asked," So, it wasn't a prank?"
"No, it wasn't," Raven answered. He didn't open the scroll, because he saw that outside it was dark. That means he's been out for half the day. He was released this morning. He needed to get started on dinner because Yukino would be home soon. Saph helped and stayed the night. Kurenai had a date, she did pop in to check upon them. Yukino and Saph went to their room, while Raven was going to read the scroll for answers.

HAHAHAHA, I know you could do it. How long did it take a week, a month, let's hope not more than half a year,... Well, I guess you are wondering what that mist was. And to Pakura, if she is reading this with you. No, it wasn't harmful. The mist is something we use to help our children clean and heal their Chakra paths. What you thought that the Chakra paths don't get wounded after long use. Well, the damage is not much but the cleaning is important. Because not only does it help strengthen the Chakra paths but it will also increase your Chakra pool. You'll find that in the next couple of days, you will find that your control over your Chakra has become weaker. But the amount you have will have increased. The second thing is that you'll feel the surrounding a bit better. This will help in the long run when you start with nature manipulation. Don't try too soon, is the only thing I can tell you. Now the other scroll is a combination. It has the next teaching level for Fuinjutsu but it also has some training exercise. Do these training exercises, they will not only help with Chakra control, but they will also help your Chakra forming for Jutsu and making of seals. Now some information that you may get, this something unique to the Uzumaki. Most Uzumaki has a greater Chakra pool than most other shinobi. But why don't you feel the difference? Well, I'm the cause. Your mom beat me up, because of this. But after a week of beatings, she listened to me and had to agree that it was a great idea. The mist is also unlocking seals I've put on you. Yes, I have seals on you. When you break a level in the necklace, is the moment the mist will open the seal. This doesn't mean that your Chakra pool can't increase on its own. And when you break the fourth seal, you'll get a surprise. I won't tell you yet but here is a hint. Only Uzumaki have it,... so if your good in a year you'll find out. If your bad, well you'll see it later. Hope you are doing great son, I will surely be missing you...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven sat back in the chair to let the new information sink in. 'So that's why I feel that I have more Chakra left, but can't use it. Anko checked last time and couldn't feel anything. We even went to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything. Still bad that I have to retrain my control again, but the girls will get a kick out of this. But I really have to look at the training exercises that are in the scroll. If there are more control exercises and help with Jutsu, then my dad wouldn't mind me teaching the girls as well. Have to ask Anko what she thinks. But that is a second thing we could do together, they have been asking me for more things with them. I'll have to ask Anko too if she knows that last thing he said, only Uzumaki have it. I know that they have an increased Chakra pool and were called the masters of Fuinjutsu, but anything else wasn't found in the library.' Raven then looked at the desk, he wanted to read the other scrolls, but he looked at the time and decided he'll read them then.
...
After breakfast and dropping Yukino and Saph of at the academy, he was going to read the two scrolls before going to the hospital to visit Sensei. Can ask her opinion on it then. He opened the scroll of his mom ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello son, woke up yet? Yeah, I know what happened to you. I beat the hell out of that damn chicken. HOW DARE HE PUT A SEAL ON YOU. sorry, But I get mad when someone touches my family or friends. But after he explained I understood. He did have to sleep on the couch for the next couple of days, hehe. Now to the big stuff, under this letter are my experiences with the scorch release. Yes, only that. Because my scorch release techniques need a lot of Chakra control, Shape, and Nature Control to use. So I taught, why not give my son the opportunity to not only read my startup with the release and let him try to make it his own. You think it was easy, you think wrong. You have to understand son, we are the first of the clan with scorch release. 'yes, I think we're a clan' If you look around Konoha I think you would have already seen. The clan people teach the clan Jutsu to their children. These Jutsu has been passed from clan member to clan member. All the way back to the first who found that he had it. We are at that stage, so it will be a hard path. But are we going to fall, hell no! You're my son, I believe in you. You'll make me proud. Now that is out of the way, I hope you haven't forgotten my request from last time. How many daughters-in-law do I have? You better have some when I see you, or I'll show you how I beat up Chicken. I love you, Raven...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Raven didn't read the rest, because it was as she said. It was her thoughts on how to work out how to use scorch release. He would keep them for after the retraining. He put the scroll together with his own ideas of scorch release. He first had to retrain his control. He stored then everything in his personal storage seal and went to the hospital to get her opinion on the things he learned.
