Chap 26 - The Girls' Training. (2)

Konan continued to surprise Ryuuji and after thirty minutes of training, she was able to hold the leaf on her forehead for ten seconds. Which was a much better result than Ryuuji do expected.

Realizing that Konan's chakra was running low, Ryuuji patted the girl's head to stop her.

" Konan-chan, that's all for today. Tomorrow we'll continue your training. "

Konan wasn't pleased to end her time alone with her older brother, but she nodded.

Ryuuji picked Konan up again and started walking towards the training ground where the other girls were.

" No need to be upset, Konan-chan. After dinner I'll put you to bed myself, okay? It's important that you do the leaf exercise before bed to stimulate the increase of your chakra reserves… plus I have a new story to tell you. A story about a boy who wanted to become the pirate king. "

Konan's eyes lit up and she let out a little squeal of celebration.

" Well done, Ryuu-nii! I'll be very upset if you don't! "

Ryuuji smiled and started tickling Konan, who couldn't help but laugh.

" Since when do I not keep my promises? "

…

It didn't take long for the duo to return to the spot where Kushina, Mikoto and Morgiana were doing their hellish physical training routines while using the Red Devils' Seal to increase the gravity around them.

Ryuuji placed Konan next to his great-aunt and approached the girls.

" Girls, as each of you'll train differently, I'll use shadow clones to optimize training time. "

Morgiana and Mikoto quickly agreed and prepared to change locations, meanwhile, Kushina jumped on Ryuuji and hugged him like a koala.

" Ryuu-nii, I don't want to train with a shadow clone! You've been gone for a week and now you don't want to spend time alone with your cute cousin? Is there still justice in this world?! "

Morgiana and Mikoto laughed at Kushina's actions and Ryuuji let out a sigh.

" Alright, Kushina. I was wrong to disappear and not give news. I'll make it up to you by taking you somewhere nice, but you have to promise me that you'll listen to what I say during the training! "

Kushina's expression quickly changed, going from indignation to happiness in just an instant.

" Clear! I'll be a good student! You have my word, Ryuu-nii. "

Shifting his gaze to Morgiana and Mikoto, Ryuuji sent out a silent apology as he silently created two shadow clones to accompany them. The two girls smiled and continued their physical training.

Ryuuji, still with Kushina glued to his body, started walking towards his Fuuinjutsu workshop.

…

" Kushina, as you have already learned all the content about Fuuinjutsu existing in the Clan library, I'll let you study my personal library. "

Kushina's eyes lit up before she released Ryuuji's body and advanced towards Ryuuji's small personal library.

" You finally stopped being a cheapskate!! I'll now be able to recreate the smaller seals that are part of the Red Devils' Seal and make changes to them to make them offensive seals. "

Ryuuji moved quickly and grabbed Kushina by the collar of her shirt.

" Don't even think about it, Kushina. Don't you know what happens when an inexperienced person messes with advanced things? You need to start from the bottom. "

Kushina looked at Ryuuji with an annoyed expression.

" From the bottom? I'm already considered a Seal Master by clan standards! What is start from the bottom for you, Ryuu-nii? "

" At the very least, you need to learn my technique of converting jutsus into seals. When you can recreate small artificial chakra pathway systems within a seal to recreate the effect of certain jutsus, I'll let you study the Red Devils' Seal project. "

Kushina turned up her nose and went back to acting coquettish:

" Hmm! That's too easy for me, Ryuu-nii! I'll learn all this in a few minutes! "

" Oh, really? And are you willing to bet? "

Kushina's arrogant face crumbled slightly and a little hesitation appeared on her face. Hesitation she easily ignored.

" Clear! You don't know who i am? I can learn anything you teach me! "

" And I'm sure about that. But the question is: Can you learn to convert Jutsus into Seals in just 1 week? I bet that you can't. "

Kushina again hesitated, but her personality didn't let her run from challenges, especially when those challenges came from Ryuuji.

" I'll do it, Ryuuji! I bet if I don't learn, I'll do whatever you want for a week! "

" That's right? Then fine. You better get ready to wear a nice maid outfit. I bet you'll be even cuter following me everywhere for a whole week. "

Kushina blushed slightly at Ryuuji's words, but she quickly hid her cute side from Ryuuji and went back to acting like a tomboy.

Kushina made a cross seal with her hands, creating ten shadow clones to help her in this difficult task.

" I'll do it, Ryuuji! I hope you're prepared to don butler clothes and follow me while you have to obey my orders for a whole week! "

Ryuuji smiled and let Kushina's shadow clones study the contents of his personal library. Meanwhile, he pulled his cousin to train the physique.

" Come on, Ryuu-nii, why can't I do the same training as Dad? He doesn't even need to move during electrical training. "

" Your father is a highly trained shinobi with extensive combat experience, meanwhile, you only have experience fighting me, Morgiana or Mikoto.

You need to strengthen your body during combat training, so you'd better increase gravity around you and get into combat stance, because I won't show mercy during the training anymore. "

Kushina swallowed hard at her cousin's serious tone and quickly prepared herself for training.

…

While the original trained with Kushina, the clones followed Mikoto and Morgiana to assist them with their training.

Facing Morgiana, Ryuuji(c) watched as the beautiful red-haired young woman created an armor of lightning around her body.

Morgiana looked at Ryuuji(c) and moved, disappearing from the spot and in an instant, appearing behind the clone.

Ryuuji(c) turned his body around and raised his forearm to fend off a spinning kick from Morgiana.

The red-haired girl used Ryuuji's arm for support and moved her body in the air, appearing behind Ryuuji(c) again.

This time, Ryuuji(c) didn't block the blow and preferred to move to avoid it.

The clone exchanged blows with Morgiana a few times, who showed him that she had truly mastered the normal Cloak of Lightning.

Stopping the little confrontation, the clone nodded in satisfaction.

" Very well, Morgiana. I think you're already close to Kage level, which is impressive for a 12-year-old girl. "

" I still need to train a lot, Young Master. "

Morgiana remained cold-faced, but was internally happy to be praised by her young master, even though he's just a clone.

" Don't be so hard on yourself, Morgiana. Your evolution is constant and that's what matters. "

Seeing that the red-haired girl slightly nodded her head, Ryuuji(c) continued with the training.

" Since you've mastered the Cloak of Lightning, it's time for you to learn how to infuse Lightning Release chakra with your body's Yang Energy, just like the Third Raikage does when he uses his Black Lightning. "

Morgiana was slightly worried.

" Young Master, you know that chakra control is not my strong point. I don't think I'll be able to do what you're asking. "

Ryuuji(c) waved his hand dismissively before replying Morgiana:

" Don't worry about talent. I trust that you can, Morgiana! I'm sure you can do that and many other things a year from now. "

Morgiana still didn't believe she could master this technique, but she trusted her Young Master and would do anything not to let him down.

" The first thing to do is to use and abuse our clan's greatest advantage. Chakra and vitality. To do this, you need to create as many shadow clones as you can. "

Morgiana nodded and crossed her hands, creating nearly 50 shadow clones with a bang and a puff of smoke.

" I could do more, but they wouldn't be useful for training because of their lifespan. These fifty clones can last a few hours of training. "

" No problem. Fifty clones is more than enough. "

The clone also created four other clones and each of them guided a group of Morgiana clones to begin training.

" While they train, we'll continue our fight from before. Activate the gravitational shift function at the highest power you can handle and come with everything you've got on me! "

Morgiana did as Ryuuji asked and got into a fighting stance.

" Young Master, please be careful! "

In the next instant, blue lightning covered her body and she moved towards Ryuuji(c), covering the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

Ryuuji(c) was not frightened and, controlling his strength to the same level as Morgiana, exchanged blow after blow with the beautiful red-haired girl, who was gradually increasing her ability during the combat.

As the minutes passed, the Uzumaki bloodline and your high level of adaptability and regeneration were making Morgiana raise the level of her movements, being able to increasingly ignore the increased gravity that covered her body.

Morgiana continued to evolve until the moment when she finally surpassed Ryuuji(c) in terms of speed and was about to hit the clone with an aerial kick.

Seeing that Morgiana had grown stronger, Ryuuji's clone did the same, matching her speed again.

When Morgiana's shin was just inches from Ryuuji(c)'s face, he raised his forearm and blocked the blow.

Morgiana knew how strong her Young Master was so she didn't hesitate to use Chakra Enhanced Strength to amplify the power of her kick.

When the impact happened, a strong shock wave was generated and destroyed the surrounding terrain, creating craters and cracks in the dirt floor of the training ground.

Ryuuji(c) looked at the destruction caused by the two and let out a sigh.

" You really are amazing, Morgiana. I think that's why Boss likes you so much! "

Morgiana finally lost the coolness in her face and let a faint blush cover her silky skin.

" You think he likes me?! "

" Hahaha, Morgiana. Me and the Boss have the same memories and the same personality! I'm absolutely sure he loves you! "

Seeing that Morgiana was even more embarrassed, Ryuuji(c) decided to use this passion as a fuel to jumpstart the training.

" Let's do this: If you can force me to increase my combat ability again, I'll tell you more secret things about the Boss. What about? You can definitely use this information to make him like you even more. "

Morgiana slightly widened her eyes before nodding her head and going back to attacking her Young Master clone, with much more motivation than before.

The clone gave an amused laugh before starting to attack Morgiana as well. The clone didn't need to worry about his Boss's wrath, after all, he was a passing entity.

Why would he hesitate if he already knew he was going to die in a few hours?

Of course, he would never cross the line because he knew his Boss could hear everything that happened in the Land of Whirlpools, but why not use the Boss's name and secrets to make Morgiana stronger faster?

It's not like the red-haired handmaiden is going to leak this information.

This is a real win-win situation!
