Bending Lightning 2

With Loke

"Bro, how can you take Kagura away from me?" Loke whined.

"Shut up, you moron. She will kick your ass if you approach her like this. Trust me, she is not some other woman you can sweet talk to. She wants to become strong to save her brother.

If you go now doing your theatrics, she will kick your ass and throw you to the side. Did you already forget the vow you made?" Naruto asked seriously. Loke stared at the ground in defeat.

"I didn't, Naruto. You helped me a lot by taking me when I'm alone and purposeless. You saved my life when Theon took control and you saved me again yesterday when I'm about to give up.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, again and again, Naruto. I'm really sorry. But, I want to be with Kagura so please tell me how I can do that." Loke pleaded. Naruto hit his head on the ground animatedly.

It was as if a switch turned off. 'Wait, switch? That's it. Oh, Loke how gracious of you to present yourself to me.' Naruto thought in joy and turned to the pleading orangette.

"Don't worry, Loke. I'm going to make you the man of your dreams. But you need to endure a 3-week training with me without any distractions." Naruto said in a higher than thou tone.

Leo was confused by this sudden attitude change, but he liked what the blonde promised and nodded enthusiastically, not knowing that he had stepped into a death trap.

With Sirius

"What's up with this training session all of a sudden?" Sirius asked as they were walking to another area of the forest.

"You saw how strong she is with her sword. I can't risk it. I want to make sure she is going to be safe if she decides to not join our guild."

"Ok. Then why are you training us? Shouldn't you concentrate on her?"

"Are you kidding me? Should I need a reason to train my son?" Naruto asked with a smirk ruffling Sirius's fur.

"Of course. I should have known it's an excuse to spar with me." Sirius said, taking his ready stance.

"You got me. But let's get started. Light Arrows." Naruto said, unleashing dozens upon dozens of light arrows at Sirius. Sirius dodged most of them and made a set of hand seals.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough," he said, unleashing a large gust of wind toward Naruto.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu," Naruto said in reply, sending a large fireball against Sirius's wind and as an elemental effect, Sirius's wind amplified Naruto's fire a enlarged approached the feline at high speeds.

"Water Style: Water Slash," Sirius said, pulling his sword and slashing his body-sized hole in the fireball, escaping its effects. Though the temperature was higher than what he was used to, training with Natsu in that water pool for control got him accustomed to both hot and cold weather easily.

"Water Style: Surging Wave," Sirius said, spewing a large water wave which charged towards a smiling Naruto.

"Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder," Naruto said, dispersing lightning bolts into the incoming water, making it electrified. This resulted in anything that came into contact with the water being electrocuted.

"Chidori," Sirius simply excused himself and cut the waver wave in half, not being charged by lightning as everything was attracted to the lightning blade in his hand.

"Light Style: Laser Circus," Naruto called. He knew this was a bit overkill. But he needed to test Sirius's capabilities to the full and using dangerous attacks was one way to bring them out.

Sirius can't keep up with the number of light beams Naruto shot and in the moment of desperation, his eyes changed, giving him a slow-motion view of every lighting beam in red and allowing him to dodge everything.

'This is bad. I need to push!' He thought in anger. How can all his training result in only this much improvement? Then it hit him. A conversation he overheard.

Flashback

"Father, how come you only have very few techniques for Earth and Water Dragon Slayer magic? Shouldn't your Wood help you in having many attacks?" Naruto asked Aldoron.

"Grahahahahahaha. What do you take me for? A garden snake? Foolish boy. They are like that so that you can bend them to your will. As I told you, magic in this world is a matter of will. If you have an affinity to an element, you can be as powerless as learning the textbook spells or can be as powerful as bending the element to your will and becoming the most powerful with that element.

That's the reason why I want you to create Earth and Water Dragon Slayer spells on your own, Naruto. Consider this as advanced training." Aldoron said with a laugh. Sirius didn't understand what they were talking about then, but now it's clear to him.

Flashback End

'Bend the element to your will, huh. What a clever way of putting it, gramps.' Sirius thought in joy as he concentrated on the wind behind Naruto and ordered it to form a spear with all his will.

Then in slow motion, he say the wind behind his father form into a spear shape and go through him as if he didn't exist. Naruto turned to Sirius in shock.

He felt something behind him, but he didn't think Sirius did it. When he turned to his son, he saw surprise and victory mix in those purple orbs. With joy, the clone dispelled.

"Yatta. Yatta. I did it!" Sirius said in joy as he dispelled Naruto's clone. While the original was training Kagura, he lost concentration and had to dodge a compressed silver slash.

"Focus here." He heard the purple-haired woman shout and nodded.

'Purple eyes? I didn't see them. What are they?' Naruto thought in wonder and pondered every possibility of their awakening and couldn't come up with anything. In the end, he decided to let Sirius explain about them.
