Chapter 17

The following weeks we did D-Ranks again, to not get overwhelmed by the stress of being out of the village, or so Kagami-sensei says. Weeks turned into months and those into years. Occasional C-Ranks were thrown in between the D-Ranks and some of those turned out to become B-Ranks whenever we crossed paths with a Ninja.

I didn't know at first why we weren't signed up for the Chunin exams or why we did not get a field promotion. Neither my team nor Tsunade's got one, not a single team of my graduation got one at first.

I haven't known it at the academy, but after asking Tobirama-Ojii why we don't get a promotion he explained to me that my class was the last one on a military track course. The first years after the First War were used to pump out as many Genin as possible, to regrow our smaller ranks.

Now that we had the time to train they were using that chance to give the Genin the training and time to really grow. The year before us had the same chance, they too were being held back.

But that also meant that occasionally our Sensei wouldn't have time for us and we had to train on our own. He was doing missions then, missions that were too dangerous for us. Whenever that happened we got a few pointers by a different Jonin who then would go back to his team or have us train alongside his.

If two Jonin-sensei were away we would be put together with another team, we would then train on our teamwork. That we had another Genin team to train with wasn't rare and happened once or twice a month. Some Jonin like to have their Genin spar against another team. Having two Genin teams without a Jonin is rare and only happens twice a year or so.

I didn't question it too much, being Genin allowed me a lot of free time to train on my own. Not being forced to do high ranked missions, missions that might take weeks or months, was good.

Both Sakumo and Ariha agreed with me once I explained to them why I wasn't upset with being seemingly held back. Tsunade also needed to have it explained to her but agreed, in the end, to not press Tobirama-Ojii for a promotion.

Six years went by like this and we were now twelve. Puberty was showing its first signs and will fully hit us soon. Last time I had mine it was fairly easy, a week or two for my voice to drop and no real annoyance beyond that. It's wishful thinking that this time it will be the same.

The madness of puberty already infected Tsunade and Ariha. Ariha-chan started to become more feminine and more aware of the differences between men and women. It was funny to watch how she or Sakumo would get flustered if one of us gets our hands on some specific body parts of the other without meaning to. I'm sure I would have been too, could I think normally.

Tsunade was really happy when her breasts began to grow. Over the years we didn't grow apart, rather I think even closer. That's why I wasn't really surprised when she told me that tidbit.

What I didn't like as much were the many girls she was introducing me to. A few of them were quite friendly or had a good head on their head. And most of them looked good and were from one prominent clan or another and strangely all of them had quite large breasts for their age. So, normally cool. However, they all came with the sole goal of getting closer to the Senju Kenshiro, in many cases they added -sama.

None of them was a real friend of my sister and naturally got to know me through her. She has the same problem and friends are rare for us. They also were not close to the family or high ranking enough in the social hierarchy to just speak to me. Ultimately their goal was to get into a relationship with me. Most don't really mean it in a harmful way. And yet, they all were out for the name of my family, not me.

The one I am going to love should first get to know me and then me with the name Senju. Which is, admittedly, quite hard within Konoha. I'm the direct heir to the Senju name, my mother is acting head until I will take the position. Which will happen once I have gained the rank of Chunin.

It is part of the clan laws, only a Shinobi of the rank Chunin or higher can take over the headship. Chunin is a rank usually only given to those that have matured and can keep a clear head on their shoulders. Which are needed character traits for a clan head.

And part of the job is taking care of one's own reputation. That's why I won't just play around with them. It wouldn't look good for my image. I also think I'm worth more than a quick fling with some girl I won't get to know.

"Ken-kun, have you seen my bra? The skin coloured one!" Shouted Tsu-chan from within her closet. I was sitting on her bed and passing time by thinking. Both Kagami-sensei and Tsunade's Sensei were on a mission. So we were ordered to hold team training together. This in itself was somewhat rare, but having Tsunade and my team together only happened once.

Naturally, Tsunade was excited and wanted to look good, while also being effective. She has been speaking nonstop about today since it was announced three days ago. My teammates weren't completely unknown to Tsunade, I also have sporadic contact with hers. We met each others team occasionally when one of us got picked up by them for missions or training. However, both teams meeting each other is rare.

"The one with metal implants against piercing attacks?" I shouted back. We were pretty open about such stuff. Tsunade doesn't want me to see her naked or the other way around. She made that clear when she asked me to no longer join her during baths. I'm fine with that, especially when I learned that getting one up was not an effect of emotions.

"Yeah, it holds them just right and is good against Kunai." I heard the rustling of clothes before she grumbled angrily.

"I am pretty sure it was in between the clothes I hung up to dry. Just bind them, it's quicker," I shouted back. It will also give Jiraiya less to ogle.

"But I won't look as good as with a proper bra," argued Tsunade back, the pout clearly audible.

"They also give Jiraiya more reason to stare," I pointed out. It was a fake argument, Jiraiya would stare anyway. The unrolling of bandages could be heard a moment later. It's also an argument that works all the time.

"Come faster Ken-kun, it never happened that we get to train with our teams together," shouted Tsunade excitedly only five minutes later. She wore now a mesh shirt with a white t-shirt over it. The t-shirt was cut off under her chest and showed her stomach, hidden behind the mesh shirt. For pants, she wore a red skirt with bloomers beneath and a pair of mesh shorts beneath that. It showed a lot of skin and I told her so, but she wasn't caring. The view was pretty, so I wasn't too persistent.

I myself was now wearing black baggy pants, black combat boots, a black tank top and a black badass coat. It was the same coat Ibiki wore during the Chunin exam in canon Naruto. In a few years, I will also look intimidating and not just funny.

I also had arm guards with seals that were containing all my weapons. My whole set of clothing was inscribed with seals. Seals against fire, against ripping, cold, wetness, heat, against foreign Chakra and some container seals for stuff. I myself have stopped venturing into seals. They were freaking hard to get better at and raising the level wasn't making understanding them easier, only drawing and activating them.

The coat was made by me, but under the supervision of Grandma Mito and with lots of her help.

At level 45 I could say I was better than a lot of other Ninja. With time I could understand and copy, reverse or destroy a lot of other seals. One thing I did learn above my skill was the sealing of a Bijuu. Grandma Mito made sure that I could do it perfectly. I am even able to seal the Kyuubi if he holds still long enough. I'm still enough Uzumaki to seal Bijuu up to the sixth tail into myself. At least that is what she said. She suggested to not seal any more than the six tails into me.

Without the Uzumaki blood, I would already be too old for the sealing of a Bijuu beyond the six tails. Later, when I'm fully grown, she said it depends on my overall Chakra capacity. More Chakra means less strain on the pathways and as such less risk of dying a horrible, gruesome and painful death.

"Yes yes, we have a few minutes left, it's not as if one of our Sensei would punish us for being late," I replied with a yawn. She grabbed my hand and pulled me along, I followed her without complaint.

Where was I? Right, progress. My first view of the status of a Chunin showed that yes, the weakest had stats around 70, but there was a huge gap between low Chunin and high Chunin.

I myself am now Tokubetsu Jonin in every normal attribute and low Jonin or Jonin in endurance and intelligence. My resistance seals were giving me great training's boost, one that my peers couldn't catch up with.

I haven't gotten a perk upon reaching the 250 marks. It happened with 500 and then again at 1000. There was also a perk for reaching LV 100 in a skill or Jutsu.

These are the Perks I got;

Spoiler: Spoiler

And yes, I know that I have a shit ton of Game Points. I just don't know where I should invest them, it's not as if I need to become stronger quickly. I only used them to increase the 90% mark of a skill or Jutsu to a full hundred. And for the skill Poison Resistance. I got poisoned once during a mission and gained that skill. The first thing I did was raising it to Max Level. I don't want to die because I got a tiny wound. In hindsight I should have gained a few levels before putting a whole 99 points into it, but meh. What's done is done.

Anyway, I tried to keep my physical skills hidden. I often compare my status with that of Orochimaru and only activate enough seals to be better than him. His highest attribute is intelligence with 350, the rest is between 250 and 320. With that he is stronger than every other Genin in overall points, but not the best in every attribute. Sakumo, for example, has a reflex count of 370.

My whole Genin team is more or less already High Chunin. Normal Chunin have attributes between 70 and 300, some higher some lower, it depends on their position. Our teachers at school were closer to the lower gap, while Chunin who have regular missions are often higher.

I also have seen a few Chunin and even Genin that have attributes close to Jonin. Those people mostly have done something wrong which prevents a promotion or are mentally not ready to rise in Rank. Even if they can fight like they were. The best example would be canon Naruto, mentally not even able to even be Chunin, yet as strong as all Kage together.

Sometime into my summary Tsunade and I reached the training ground our teams have chosen to use. We were a little late and everyone, except Jiraiya, was already present. Orochimaru stood at the side, away from Ariha and Sakumo. He was reading a book about medicine.

I think it was half a year ago when Tsunade told me that his parents died. According to Tsunade, he became more distant since then, always reading about Jutsu and medical knowledge. He has asked her a lot of questions and she liked to explain her chosen field to others.

I could see the beginning of his madness. He has obvious psychopathic tendencies, however, they aren't reason enough to kick him out of the Ninja Corps. You can't expect child soldiers to be mentally stable.

They spotted us rather quickly and came over. Ariha was grinning widely and waved at me, Sakumo nodded in greeting, as did Orochimaru.

"Morning guys, I know we are late. Ken-kun took all day to get ready," apologized Tsunade with a cheeky grin aimed at me. I poked her nose in retaliation. She pouted cutely and jumped over to Orochimaru. She then looked around and frowned "Where is the pervert?"

"Jiraiya is also late," answered Orochimaru her, he hasn't looked up from his book since greeting us.

"Idiot, can't he do a single thing right?" She complained. I did not point out her hypocrisy, we too were late after all.

Instead, I turned to my team and studied them. Sakumo hasn't changed his clothes much. He wears Ninja sandals, black ANBU pants, a jacket with the Hatake clan symbol on the back and the Uzumaki-Konoha swirls on each shoulder. He has outgrown his hair a bit and was binding it. They were now spiky and stood up in every direction. Only his headband was holding them back.

He now also has the Hatake tantou on his back, a sign of his status of the heir and skill in swordsmanship. He's leagues above me if it comes to fighting with a sword.

From him I turned to Ariha, she was starting to grow into a beautiful woman. Her clothes were practical, yet made her not any less cute. She wore Ninja sandals as well. Long knee socks were protecting her legs and a black battle kimono with red markings and an Uchiha crest on the back gave her the mobility and grace of a skilled Kunoichi. Her black shoulder-length hair was done back in a ponytail.

The prettiest thing about her were her large doe-like eyes. I'm a sucker for beautiful eyes and her brown, almost black eyes are good looking. I often have to stop myself from staring whenever she has her Sharingan activated, they were looking that good on her face.

"Something Kenshiro-kun?" She asked suddenly and I caught myself staring again.

In hope to deflect a bit from my starring, I answered with the first thing that came to my mind. "Have I ever told you that you have really pretty eyes?" She blushed and stuttered something incomprehensible, before taking a swing at me with a shout of an idiot. I laughed, evaded and jumped backwards. Right next to the arriving Jiraiya, scarring the crap out of him.

"Jiraiya, why are you always late?" Shouted Tsunade angrily. She was shaking her fist at him in anger, but my closeness was holding her off. He was also using me as a shield and Tsunade didn't want to hit me.

"Sorry Tsunade-hime, I overslept. Ma and Pa were keeping me awake with their training," apologized Jiraiya quickly. I raised an eyebrow in surprise. Seems like he already has his summons. His Chakra shouldn't be high enough to summon any of the bigger toads, but there were others who could fight.

A quick observe showed that his attributes were between a hundred and two hundred. With endurance as his strongest attribute at 205. The rest was between 100 and 150. Way below my team or his, but not bad itself. He has grown to be one of the stronger Genin. It's just that Tsunade, Orochimaru, Sakumo, Ariha and I were just way above the norm. It might very well be that Jiraiya is the sixth strongest of our generation. Kinda unfair for him, but that is life.

Still, Tsunade hasn't told me about her summons, which means that she hasn't done the reverse summoning yet. Might speak with her about that later today.

Tsunade let out a deep suffering sigh and tried to calm down. Something with Jiraiya was making her quick to anger. I think she still hasn't forgiven him for calling her flat chested. Even if her chest was now already a B-cup. Ariha's was A, I think.

"Forget it, let's start. Our Sensei aren't with us today. It's the first time that we have to train together. And while Ken-kun and I already know each of you, the others of our respective team do not. Let's do introductions first and then some spars? Anyone against that?" No one had something against my plan and we sat down in a circle. Well, Jiraya grumbled a bit but was silenced by Tsunade's threatening fist.

She then sat down right next to me, Ariha took the seat to my other side. Both were rather close and I noticed that Jiraiya was scowling at me for that.

"I'll start. My name is Senju Tsunade, the younger sister of Senju Kenshiro. I like to learn medical Jutsu, discussions about medical advancement, my brother Ken-kun, my family and training together with Ken-kun. I dislike perverts, "cue nasty glare at Jiraiya," and failing to save someone with my medical Jutsu. My wish for the future is to become the best medic in the world." She then nudged me to follow up.

"Yeah, hi, I'm Senju Kenshiro, older brother of Senju Tsunade. I like to learn new Chakra training methods, training with my team, training with Tsunade and having tea with my Grandmother Uzumaki-Senju Mito. I dislike stagnation in my training. And as for a wish, well, I'd like to keep my team and Tsunade save from danger." Orochimaru kept his game face and showed no emotions. Jiraiya was still scowling. He seems to not like my closeness to Tsunade.

"My turn, I'm Uchiha Ariha. I like training Genjutsu, my team and learning new fire Jutsu. I don't like idiots who think that the Uchiha are always stealing Jutsu and seeing my friends in pain. As for a wish, well I'd really like to catch Kenshiro-kun in one of my Genjutsu and I also want to invent a new S-Ranked fire Jutsu." Ariha gave me a playful punch when she mentioned her wish. She has never been able to affect me with a Genjutsu. She doesn't know that it's impossible, thanks to Gamer's Mind.

Tsunade gave her a glare. The affection she showed me by using the -kun suffix was easily audible in her tone. Meanwhile, at until now completely ignored, muttered Jiraiya something about stupid Senju getting all the hot chicks. He received a very heated glare from both Ariha and Tsunade for that comment.

Thankfully Sakumo was next and he spoke before either girl could start their beating of Jiraiya. "My name is Sakumo Hatake, I like to train with my sword and training with my team. I wish to become the best swordsman in the world and dislike people who don't take swordsmanship seriously."

Jiraiya has seen the heated glare and followed up quickly in the hope to distract the female fury. He jumped up and did some kind of dance that looked really ridiculous. "Alright, listen closely. I'm the gallant Jiraiya of Mount Myoboku. I like my research."

Tsunade scoffed a not so silent, "I.e. peeping on bathing girls."

But Jiraiya ignored her. "My summons and training. I dislike arrogant people who think they are the worlds best because they are a little bit more skilled," he gave both me and Orochimaru a glare, don't know what I have done to him, "and my wish for the future is to be renown for my skill throughout the world." He sat back down and looked proud of himself.

He then looked at Orochimaru, "Your turn Bastard."

Orochimaru didn't react to his insult. He gave my team a respectful nod before starting. "I'm Orochimaru, I like to learn new Jutsu, I dislike stupid people and my wish is to learn every Jutsu in the world." You have one guess as to whom he was looking at when he said he dislikes stupid people.

I spoke up right after him, I too don't want to waste any more time with Jiraiya's antics. He can play around after training, not during. "Good, now that we all have introduced each other, let's begin with our training. I think a small team match would be best to get warmed up. My team against Tsunade's. As for rules, no heavy injuries, only stuff that can be easily healed by Tsunade. Meaning shallow cuts, broken bones and ripped muscles. Internal injuries, heavy burns from Jutsu or any maiming is forbidden."

Jiraiya looked a little worried at the things that are still allowed but did not ask to forbid them as well. He might not want to look like a pussy to the rest of us. Sakumo and Ariha were okay with those terms. Tsunade has healed them a few times over the years, they know her skill.

"Let's do some planning before we start. Five minutes?" Suggested Tsunade, we agreed and each team went to one side of the clearing.

"So, what's the plan? They seem rather dysfunctional to me. Jiraiya is the weak link, he comes over as a hot head and with a loose temper. He is also the punching bag of their team," asked Sakumo the moment we were alone. The last part was said with some disgust.

He could not see any reason for bullying your own teammate. If he or she was weak, then help her grow strong. What he did not take into account was that Jiraiya has not exactly left a good first impression and never successfully tried to better his image. At least Tsunade has never told me of him trying.

"You are close to Tsunade-san, she must have told you things about their team. And you, her, about us. Anything we should know?" Followed Ariha, her tone wasn't accusing me of anything, merely stating facts.

"I told Tsunade about Sakumo's good skill with his sword, how he was way better than I. She will remember that and be wary of him in close combat. She also knows that you, Ariha-chan, are a little pyromaniac and that you really like to use fire Jutsu. She has often questioned me about whom of you two is the stronger one, you or her. I tried to deflect the answer, she will be equally wary of you for that. She knows that I would only deflect the answer if she does not like to hear it.

In truth, you are weaker than her in strength, but in return faster.

As for our plan, I would pitch Sakumo-kun against Tsunade-chan. His sword will keep her at a distance, don't let her get close to you, she is using Chakra Scalpels and she has a heavy hit. Her Chakra control is the best of us, right after me and even that only closely.

Ariha-chan, your Genjutsu won't really work on her, her control is too good for that, I made sure of it. She also has Earth as her main element. That's why I want you to fight Jiraiya-san. Not because he is the weakest, but because he seems to be weak against Genjutsu. You should be able to take him out quickly and then help Sakumo-kun with Tsunade-chan.

Catch her in a Genjutsu and overwhelm her while she gets rid of it. You might have a second to do so. Not more, her control is just too good.

I will fight Orochimaru-san, he is the strongest after me and we both are Jutsu specialists. You can help me with him after taking Tsunade-chan out of the fight." Both agreed to the plan. Ariha only reluctantly, she doesn't like to fight the weakest but can see and understands my reasoning.

We turned over to the other team and saw that they too were ready. We nodded to each other and jumped into action without any delay.

Tsunade and Orochimaru were attacking me, while Jiraiya jumped at Sakumo and Ariha. They want to quickly take me out and then team up on the rest of my team. I think they have sacrificed Jiraiya for this, knowing that he alone can't stop both of my teammates for long.

It didn't work. Sakumo ignored Jiraiya and followed directly after me, while Ariha used a barrage of Kunai to keep Jiraiya busy.

Tsunade was the first to reach me, her hands were glowing a pale green, the sign of a Chakra Scalpel. She tried to cut the tendons in my shoulder, but I ducked under her swing and rushed past her.

She tried to turn around and follow up with an attack at my back but had to stop to defend herself. Sakumo has now reached her and brought his sword down. I couldn't see more, as my own opponent was ready for me.

"Earth Release: Rock Shot!" Three rocks the size of tennis balls shot out of Orochimaru's mouth and flew at me with moderate-high speed.

I jumped over the attack to evade. Orochimaru has anticipated that and finished his second set of hand signs. "Earth Release: Rock Spear!" He stomped his foot down onto the ground and a sharp looking earthen spear shot out of it, right into my flight path.

I generated a bit of wind Chakra and pushed it out of my palm, the small gust of wind was strong enough to push me out of my flight path and the earthen spear narrowly missed me. I grabbed the spear and used it to slide down, right at Orochimaru. Chakra was making my feet more slippery and gave me speed.

His snake-like eyes widened a fraction before he went through another set of hand signs. He took a deep breath and finished his Jutsu. "Fire Release: Great Fireball!" Fire flew out of his mouth, it formed into a ball the size of a small truck and razed up to me.

Yet he made a mistake, he made the fireball fly over the spear and slightly into the air. Probably to prevent me from jumping over it again, it was also large enough on each side to burn me if I evade in that direction. What he missed was the underside of the spear.

I waited for the last moment and then tipped the Chakra manipulation on my feet slightly to the side and rotated around the earthen spear. Within one rotation I had passed the fireball and was now right in the face or a surprised Orochimaru.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Palm" My Jutsu was spoken normally, for appearance sake. I don't need to use seals or words for all of my B- and C-Ranked Jutsu, but that isn't something that many know, only Tsunade does and she knows better than to tell anyone.

Anyway, I shot my opened palm forward and released the Jutsu. A condensed vacuum ball of wind flew outwards and hit Orochimaru square in the chest. He grunted in pain and was thrown backwards, only to explode into mud and rock.

Two hands suddenly shot out of the ground, right under me, and tried to grab my ankles. I reacted quickly and jumped backwards. Orochimaru came out of the ground a moment later. "You knew you would fail in keeping me away?" I asked with a grin.

"Kukuku, of course. Tsunade can't stop bragging about her stronger older brother, it was only natural for me to take her praising seriously. And you didn't disappoint, even if I am slightly annoyed that my plan didn't work as well."

"Well, if Tsu-chan praises me than I have to hold up her claims and beat you. Can't disappoint my cute little sister now, can I?" I replied and made a cross hand sign. A shadow clone popped up next to me and both of us went through a separate set of hand signs.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!", "Fire Release: Mythical Fire Flower!" Dozens of smaller fireballs flew out of my mouth, none directly aimed at Orochimaru. They all were aimed at the field and air around him. Then the Jutsu of my clone hit the fireballs and they grew massively in size. Their previously cat size grew into that of a large horse.

Now there would be no escape for Orochimaru but the ground. He knew that as well. He also knew that I did want him to escape there, as for why I did want that, he didn't know. I could see him frown briefly before clicking his tongue and vanishing into the ground.

My fireballs reached their destination and exploded, burning the whole field we were fighting in. I kept track of his position with my Chakra Sensing and prepared my next attack.

I too had Earth as an element, I unlocked a second element after gaining a 100% in my Wind Element Control, I decided to take earth. I'm still not perfect with it, but good enough to fight smaller fights.

I finished my hand signs and stomped the earth almost in the same way as Orochimaru did a few moments before. "Earth Release: Stone Pillar!" The earth under Orochimaru got risen above ground and formed a pillar. Orochimaru was still moving and shot out of the pillar. He flew right into the waiting fist of my shadow clone.

The fist hit him right into the face and threw him back into the risen earth. He fell down and shook his head to get the dizzy feeling away. After that, he looked back up and saw my clone standing over him and me ready to launch another Jutsu.

"Do you yield? I have another Jutsu ready to launch. You might be able to destroy my clone but then you will not have enough time to evade the Jutsu," I warned.

"I know when I am beaten Senju-san, I give up," answered Orochimaru with raised hands. I nodded and turned around to look at my team and how they were faring. Orochimaru won't attack from now on.

Jiraiya was fighting the air, he was deeply trapped in one of Ariha's Genjutsu. And on the other side of the clearing, I could see both Sakumo and Ariha fighting against Tsunade. My sister was completely in the defence, but not defeated.

I jumped over to them. She saw me instantly, made a disappointed face and jumped out of the next attack that came at her from Sakumo. "I surrender. There is no way for me to win against all three of you. I can't even beat Ken-kun on my own," She then said.

Sakumo and Ariha lowered their weapons, in Ariha's case double wielded Kunai. "A good fight Senju-san," said Sakumo with a quick bow.

"Yes, you kept up very well," agreed Ariha, she didn't bow.

"You two as well, I had no chance to attack once you two teamed up on me," replied Tsunade, she did a quick bow to Sakumo as well, but nothing towards Ariha.

Orochimaru has come over to us and gave each of us a nod in respect, before pointing at the still clueless Jiraiya. He was still busy fighting an invisible foe. "Can someone release the Idiot? Tsunade-hime I also need you to take a look at my head, I see you all double."

Tsunade picked a rock up and threw it at Jiraiya, it hit his head and broke the Genjutsu through the pain. "Ouch, hey? Where is she?" He was looking around for Ariha and saw us five standing together.

Orochimaru rolled his eyes and Tsunade looked angry. "Jiraiya you idiot, she caught you in a Genjutsu and we got beaten," shouted Tsunade at him. She looked as if she wanted to hit him, but instead, she grabbed Orochimaru and started a diagnostic Jutsu, before continuing with the Mystical Palm. "Ken-kun gave you a concussion, this will only take a minute." Orochimaru was too used to her rough treatment to protest and silently endured the healing.

Jiraiya in the meantime came over to us and looked at our clothes. He noticed that Orochimaru was dirty and that none of my team's clothes looked to be damaged. Then he saw that Tsunade's were slightly cut up and he got a lecherous grin.

"Wipe that grin off of your face or I will test my latest wind Jutsu on you," I warned. He looked at me, contemplated my treat for a moment, but wisely decided to stop ogling my sister.

I had nothing against Jiraiya or even his perverted behaviour, as long as his target wasn't Tsunade or Ariha. Both are off limits. He should also learn how to differentiate between work and private time.

"A new wind Jutsu? Do we know of it?" Asked Ariha-chan interested. She has a great interest in combining her fire Jutsu with my wind Jutsu. Her goal of creating an S-Rank fire Jutsu was often a driving factor.

"Nope, it's a new one and I only recently learned how to use it without damaging myself. Not even Tsu-chan knows. Before, I had to use clones and even now I'm only able to use that Jutsu once before being utterly exhausted," I answered. Jiraiya didn't look impressed, as did Orochimaru. However, the other three, they knew how much Chakra I have.

"No way, you can use it only once? How much Chakra does that thing take?" Shouted Ariha loudly.

"You haven't told me about a Jutsu that is harmful to you?" Asked Tsunade with a mild glare. She often persists on doing a health check on me. Claiming that she does not want for me to have any unnoticed illness of wrongly healed injury. I'm pretty sure that these are left over fears about Hashirama's death. She must also know that I am perfectly capable of doing them myself. But if it calms her worries, who am I to decline.

"What's the big deal? It's a Jutsu, probably high B-Rank or so," questioned Jiraiya dismissively. He got twin glares from both Ariha and Tsunade. He shrunk back a little but stood to his words.

"Can you show us? Your new Jutsu are often very inspirational and the explanation behind some of your techniques have helped me greatly with my own control and fighting," requested Sakumo.

"Now I too am intrigued. I'd like to see this new Jutsu of yours as well," spoke Orochimaru too. He has just finished his healing.

"Yes and I will need to see if you truly have gotten rid of the self-harm," ordered Tsunade. Her foot was tapping on the ground and her arms crossed in front of her chest, a stern glare was plastered on her face. Seems like she is really annoyed about the minor self-harm.

Well, I should have stayed silent. Alas, what's done is done. The Jutsu I am speaking about isn't truly my own. And while I did create one, it is too destructive to use within Konoha. I have two S-Ranked wind element Jutsu. One is called Tornado.

Tornado; LV 6 ( 54%); Active S-Rank

The user lets his wind Chakra out and spins it at a fast speed. Fast winds will be generated and form a twister or tornado that destroys everything in its path.

I have plans to upgrade that into an SS-Rank Jutsu, I just have to add more tornadoes. The other one, the one I will have to show now is the widely known and loved Rasenshuriken.

Rasenshuriken; Max LV 10 Active; S-Rank

The user combines a Rasengan with his wind element. It will form a Shuriken looking ball of uncountable tiny wind blades. These blades are able to cut anything down to the molecular stage. Upon release, it will harm anything in its radius, even the user.

Both are highly Chakra consumptive and I can do each only once before having to wait for a recharge. Which thankfully only takes me four minutes if I meditate. I trained them outside of the village when I was alone.

"Very well, but we have to clean up afterwards. I don't think we are allowed to destroy the training grounds," I said in defeat.

We walked over to the edge of the clearing and my audience stepped behind me. "May I watch it with my Sharingan?" Asked Ariha politely.

Jiraiya looked at her with jealousy, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, and lastlyTsunade was angry at her. They might have heard Ariha's dislikes but these words of her can be misunderstood. Asking to watch the Jutsu allows her to copy my Jutsu, even if it is technically not stealing when she has my permission.

Ariha noticed the looks and realized how she asked. She looked embarrassed for acting right into her clan stigma. "Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I wanted to check the Chakra movements to give more insight into its workings," apologized Ariha.

"I know, just remember that not everyone knows you as well as Sakumo and I do. And yes you can, it wouldn't have been possible for you to copy it anyway. The Jutsu is sealless," I said before Tsunade could explode. Tobirama's stories have had an effect on her. She can work with the Uchiha, but does not like them, at all. Especially Ariha-chan, I think she is a little envious at her for being in my team, while she can't.

Ariha smiled in thanks and activated her fully matured Sharingan, before giving me a nod to signal that she was ready.

I formed two shadow clones and they began the work, while I did my own. One formed a Rasengan over my hand, the other put the wind element inside and I connected a Chakra string to the whole thing. The string was necessary, without I wouldn't be able to get out of the blast zone.

An unholy screech and bell-like sound started to come from the ball of destruction. My audience took a step back from me and the screeching wind. I would have told them that it was saved, but I had to concentrate on the Jutsu.

The Rasengan was now formed and self-sustaining and the wind element finished just now. The complete Rasenshuriken was now in my hand and I only needed minimal concentration to keep it from exploding, the replicating self-sustaining kept it contained.

However, the moment I cut my Chakra supply the whole thing will tip off balance and explode. Here comes my Chakra thread into play. It supplies the Jutsu with Chakra and control, while I can safely use it from a distance.

With a flick of my finger, the Jutsu shot out of my hands and made a wide arc into the air, before taking a fast dive into the middle of the clearing.

The Rasenshuriken impacted with the ground and I cut my thread. The effect was instantaneous. It exploded in a massive shock wave of wind, debris and dust. To not get blown away I had to use the last bits of Chakra to anchor myself to the ground.

The others did their best but were pushed back by the force of the wind. Jiraiya even lost his concentration when a stray rock hit him in the nuts. He got lifted off and crashed into a tree.

The white sphere of destruction on a molecular level grew in size until it reached the height of a middle-sized house and then stayed like that for half of a minute before losing its energy and shrinking back into nothing.

What was left was a massive crater with an extremely clean and smooth wall. We all were silent, only the frightened twittering birds and the pained groans of Jiraiya rung through the clearing.

I was sweating heavily and had to sit down from the massive Chakra use. One shot of this bad boy is sucking me dry. And during the war, Naruto threw them around like candy at Halloween. I call either plot or a Jinchuriki truly has monstrous Chakra reserves.

"Does anyone have the number of that carriage?" Groaned Jiraiya from his prone position on the floor.

"If that is a high B-Rank then I don't want to see an actual A or S Rank Jutsu," declared Sakumo.

Ariha was rubbing her eyes and had the Sharingan deactivated. "I second that. My Sharingan lost count of the number of tiny wind blades that were swirling inside that ball of doom. What the heck did you create Kenshiro-kun?"

Orochimaru was looking between me and the massive crater with a creepy look in his eyes. "Impressive, to believe that you could compress Chakra into such a tiny ball and then add wind to the equation as well."

And Tsunade has grabbed my arm and was checking it for any injuries. "There are slight Chakra burns on your palm, but they are already healing. Seems as if you spoke the truth about no longer getting harmed. From what I could see it might have done the same to your arm as what it does to its target." She then hit the back of my head and gave me an angry stare. "Invent such a Jutsu without my medical supervision again and I will tell Mom." I nodded hastily, Mom was scary if angered.

"Hehe, well. You know, I made the Rasengan and then had the thought that it was only pure Chakra control, so why not add an element. You have seen the result, but it was hard. I really had to train for that one," I explained with an awkward expression while rubbing the back of my head. Tsunade's hits sting.

And it's the truth, I needed a wind manipulation of LV 80 to keep the Jutsu under control and only at LV 100 with the Chakra Threads at level 50 was I able to use the Jutsu without self-inflicted harm.

"That's why it does not use signs. This isn't even a Jutsu, well technically." I looked a little surprised at what Ariha said but went over everything a Jutsu was doing and then nodded in agreement.

A Jutsu moulds Chakra within the user under the help of hand signs or memory of the user and then expels the moulded Chakra through the pathways. Neither the Rasengan nor the Rasenshuriken does that. I mould it outside of my body, from start to end.

"Huh, you are right Ariha-chan. The Rasengan and Rasenshuriken can both be categorized as Chakra control training."

Sakumo facepalmed before laughing loudly. "Only you are able to invent a training's method dangerous enough to rival A or S-Ranked Jutsu in their destructiveness."

"Great and what are we going to do now?" Asked Tsunade with a gesture at the massive hole. "I mean it isn't uncommon for us Ninja to damage a training field, but if that happens we have to clean it either up or pay for the damage."

"We could fill the hole with earth. With the three of us we can make it happen relatively quickly," I suggested and pointed at Tsunade, myself and Orochimaru. All three of us had the Earth element.

"Or we fill it with water, a small lake is exactly what this field needs," said Jiraiya instead.

"Do you have the Water element?" Asked Sakumo. Ariha had Fire with minor Lightning and Sakumo had Lightning with a minor Fire.

Jiraiya looked a little embarrassed for having forgotten the need of one with the element for using the Jutsu. "Ignore what I have said."

"We do, all the time," muttered Tsunade. Jiraiya slumped down into depression but was ignored by the rest of us. Instead, Tsunade, Orochimaru and I positioned ourselves around the hole and began to use simple earth Chakra manipulation to move the earth and fill the hole.

Five minutes later we have finished cleaning up and decided to first start with physical training before helping each other with their individual training.

Like this we spent the rest of the day, each of us working on their own thing and asking for help if something was not clear or we need a second opinion. Jiraiya looked as if he wanted to ask more than a couple of times, but didn't. Maybe he didn't want to look weak to me and my team.

In the end, we have wasted the whole day with training and ate at an Akamichi restaurant for dinner before splitting up. Tomorrow we will meet up at the same training ground and at the same time. Our Sensei will be away for a few more days.
