Stone

After we get about a mile away Jiryah gives me a rubber ball. "So kinda how you did last time pop this."

In less than a second I'm done the ball is popped. "Done What's next," I say confidently.

"One-second kid I just gotta make sure of something," he says before he goes through a couple of hand signs, and when he finishes I glow red for a second.

"What was that I ask."

"that naruto was a jutsu of my own making all it does is cover an area of 10 miles and mark anyone inside," Jiryah said with a smirk.

How does it do that? I ask

"Well, It senses chakra. While a ninja with a good sensory ability can do the same thing I'm not one of those ninjas so I made this." Jirayh answered.

"Anyway, no one's following us so I can tell you this now. Naruto the fox isn't in you anymore. You absorbed it. And another thing before you ask any questions. I'm your godfather and your father is Minato Namikaze. And the reason I wasn't with you since the beginning was to protect you from his enemies." Jiryah said all at once really quickly.

"Wow get it all out at one time." Ok, so the fox isn't in me anymore. So is that why I'm able to leave the village with you? I ask. Yes. Jiryah responded. And your my godfather is that why you're taking me on as your apprentice? It's not because of my awesomeness?

"It's a bit of both." He says in response.

"Ok in that case I want you to teach me everything my father knew so I can make it better and completely outside him as the best ninja in history," I said as I put a smile on my face.

"Sure kid sure I'm already teaching you one of his two signature Jutsu. He says as he pulls out a rubber ball again. This time does what you did with the other two but don't blow it up."

"Ok easy," I say as I immediately blow the ball up. "Uhh ok, let's try again."

"Don't worry kid I brought a ton of extra balls Here," he said with a smirk.

After a while, the night starts to fall and the whole time if you were following along you would have heard a lot of damnits followed by laughter and sometimes a little help but not enough to figure out how to do it. They set up camp and go to sleep

I open my eyes and can see a light hitting my left eye I can't move or look around but it looks like im trapped under something. I once again struggle to get out but nothing happens this time and I wake up.

A couple of days go by roughly the same way with nothing happening. Accept a couple of hours before we set up camp on the third day something happens.

"I did it," I say proudly.

"You did what kid?" Jiryah asked as he looked over at me. As he does he sees in my hand a dark red Rasengan. And his mouth hits the floor. "You got it already. You really must be your father's son with talent like that you just might be able to be the world's strongest ninja. Or at least the loudest." he joked.

"I broke one twig just one ok and it wasn't even that loud," I say in defense.

"Anyway is there a reason this doesn't feel right in my hand?" I ask

"Hmm well it could be that your chakra wants to be a different shape but you'll have to figure that out on your own," Jiryah says after a second.

'It's probably a drill of some sort.' I think to myself

"Hey, kid I know it's a little late but didn't you say you used a spear did you leave it at home or what? cause I don't see it."

"Well, im glad you asked," I say as I take off my necklace and press down into it. This is uh I haven't named it yet, have I? "Let's go with heaven piercer!" I yell.

"See I told you loudest ninja." can't keep quiet for ten minutes."

"It was one twig, old man," I say in frustration.

"Let's set up camp here. well, reach the village hidden in stone tomorrow. Make sure to keep quiet. Ok, kid." he said

"One twig one," I say

After waking up we once again make our way. After about a couple of hours of walking, we find our way to the village. And before we enter my necklace starts to float in the direction of a mountain Inside the village. Along with the glow which I've come accustomed to. I quickly grab the necklace and put it under my shirt. hoping that he didn't notice.

"Ok be the cool kid they are just gonna check the fake identifications I made for us what's your name if they ask? Jirhya asks in his Henge which is just a red-haired violet-eyed version of himself with different clothes.

"This is like the third time we've been over this my name is Menma and we are traveling merchants."

"That's right don't worry this will be great ninja training."

We arrive at the gate after waiting in line for about five minutes.

"Halt who goes there anyone who wishes to enter our village must identify themselves so who are you." The guard asks in a tired tone like he's waiting for the end of his shift.

"I am Cho Ntai. I am a traveling merchant this is my nephew Menma Ntai and we are here to rest and sell our wares." Jiryah said as he pulls out some ID.

"Hmmm…looks good to me welcome to our village I hope you have a pleasant stay."

After entering we see broken destroyed shops and homes. And a lot of people walking around with construction equipment.

"What happened here?" I ask

"Well from what I was told there were earthquakes." jiryah responds "In fact, the usual inn I stay at was destroyed we'll have to find somewhere else," he says.

"Damn of course it was," I respond. So where to stay? "Hmm, where to go I say as I follow the direction my necklace Is pulling under from under my shirt.

After a while, I find which mountain it was pulling toward and there just so happens to be an inn not even a mile away.

"How about here," I ask.

"it seems nice why not," he says as we enter.

After purchasing a room once we purchased a room.

"Ok, kid now to tell you the reason we are here. My last informant got killed in the earthquake. And I need to set up another so I'll be gone maybe two days. You can handle yourself right?" jiryah asks.

"You know I can and while you're gone I'll get to explore a village awesome," I say.

"Your one weird kid you know that."
