Ryu POV

When we walked in, Kakashi was awake.

Naruto: Look the sense's coming around.

Ryu: Looks like you did it again huh? If never thought I'd have to tell you this but you have to learn how to maintain your Sharingan.

Sakura: And if it puts that much strain on your body maybe it's not worth it.

Ryu: Being honest its not even that the Sharingan is that draining, it's just that Zabuza was tough.

Tazuna: Well we shouldn't have many other ninja like him around anymore.

Ryu: 'Zabuza has to be dead, he couldn't be alive after that. So why do I still feel like he's alive? Unless...' Ohhhh crap.

Sakura: What is it?

Ryu: Zabuza is still alive.

Everyone had a grim look on their faces, even Kakashi.

Naruto: But how?!! We all saw him not nailed with needles!!

Ryu: Yeah, that's the point. Throwing needles are only deadly with they hit in the right spot, or if you get skewered by a bunch of them. And there aren't any vital points in the neck.

Sakura: But how?! You both checked for his heart beat!

Ryu: He was in a false death state. That so tracker was actually an accomplice of Zabuza's. If she was really a tracker she would have felt with him on the spot.

Kakashi: Trackers are trained to know every vital spot inside of the body. A temporary death state would be simple. We must prepare quickly.

I then started to smirk.

Ryu: If I'm being honest I'm kinda happy he's not dead. Now I have the chance to fight him again. I can tell you feel the same, Naruto.

Naruto had a smile with a tint of fear and a lot of happiness when he heard that Zabuza was alive.

Sakura: Sensei, you said prepare quickly, but you can barely move.

Ryu: I'm guessing you forgot who taught the three of you most of the Jutsu in your arsenal's.

Then Kakashi started chuckling.

Kakashi: I can still train you.

Sakura: Hold on! A little last minute training won't make us strong enough to fight Zabuza! You could barely defeat him with your Sharingan.

A confident smirk appeared on my face as I started to chuckle a tiny bit as well.

Ryu: Maybe normal training, but we're not gonna be doing just the ordinary training anymore.

Sakura: And Ryu, aren't you supposed to be a strong as sensei? You were struggling against one of the clones.

Ryu: If you honestly thought I was being serious against the clone, your out of your mind.

The three of them just sweat dropped realizing that I could have gotten them all killed by holding back.

Kakashi: The three of you have grown, Naruto-

He then turned to Kakashi.

Kakashi: -You've grown the most.

He smiled sad the thought of being ahead of the other two in growth had pleasures him.

Kakashi: And even you Ryu have grown a bit more from when we all started.

I looked at him confused and remembered.

Kakashi: Think about it, before you only stand so much of these three before you went off by yourself. Now you trust them with your very life.

He was right, 2 months could change a guy like that.

Naruto: I'm glad you noticed Sensei, now things are gonna get better, Believe It!

???: I don't believe it, and nothing's gonna be good.

I turned to see a little kid wearing a fisher hat.

Ryu: 'Ugh, great. This kid probably-

Tazuna: Inari! We're have you been?

Inari: Welcome back grandpa!

He then ran to give Tazuna a hug.

Ryu: 'His Grandson, Yeah that's about right.'

Shojo: 'I sense he is troubled.'

Ryu: 'Does it sound like I care?'

Tsunami: Inari that was very rude! These ninja helped bring your grandfather home safely.

Tazuna: It's ok it's ok I'm rude to them too.

I then gave him a silent stare reminding him that I was the reason we stayed and he quickly got back in line.

Inari: Mom, don't you see? These people are gonna die! Gato and his men are gonna come back to find them and wipe them all out!

Naruto: What did you say brat?!

He then went on about something about super ninjas him becoming Hokage and hero's while I just ignored that part.

Inari: There's no such thing as hero. Your just full of stupid ideas!

Naruto: What did you say-

I then punched him on the top of his head sending him to the floor.

Ryu: Can it Naruto.

Inari: If you wanna stay alive you better go back were you came from.

I then sent the kid a cold glare scarring him off.

Time skip to being in the forest

Kakashi: Alright training begins now. First of, we'll begin with a review of Chakra: a ninjas basic source of power.

Sasuke: We know that already.

Naruto: Yeah, a long time ago we learned about something called uh-

Ryu: If you say catra I will twist you like a pretzel.

Kakashi: *Sighs* Go ahead Sakura.

She then went on about what chakra is and how to utilize it.

Kakashi: Very good. It seems like Iruka really did have some smart students.

Naruto: Ah! What's the point in all the complicated explications?! The whole point is to learn the Jutsu!

Sasuke: Naruto is right for once. We're already using Chakra energy in our Jutsu.

Ryu: Oh please, you've barely touched the surface of it.

Naruto: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!

Ryu: Oh for Pete's sake. Let's just start with the lesson, then you'll understand. Kakashi?

Kakashi: With pleasure. The exercise we're about to do-

They all waited in anticipation.

Kakashi: Is tree climbing.

All three of them: Climb a tree?!

Ryu: Yeah but there's one catch.

Sasuke: And what's that?

Kakashi: No hands.

Sakura: What your kidding.

Kakashi: Am I? Let's see.

He then focused chakra in his feet and climbed up a tree with no hands.

They were all dumbfounded at the sight of him climbing with no hands.

Kakashi: Well you get the idea. Focus chakra into your feet. Use it to stick to the tree. This is one way of using the power of chakra.

Sakura: Wait a minute! That's a nice trick but-

Ryu: Chakra control. My goodness. You learn to use a precise amount of chakra and focus it to one place, and the feet is the hardest area. It takes physical skill and spiritual skill too. Master this and no Jutsu will be impossible for you. That way I can teach you three stronger Jutsu.

Kakashi: And to maintain it. When a ninja is in battle it's even harder to control chakra levels. A deadly mistake. To avoid this, maintaining chakra must become second nature, effortless.

Ryu: If we keep talking about this I'm gonna loose my mind so let's just start.

Kakashi threw each of them a kunai.

Kakashi: Use the kunai to mark how high up you get.

Ryu: Make sure to run to get some momentum.

They picked the kunai.

Naruto: This is gonna be a peace of cake, Believe it! Remember what you said Sensei, I'm the one who's grown the most!

Ryu: You definitely talk the most that's for sure.

Kakashi: Now get focused and do it!

They then focused chakra into their feet and ran up to the trees.

Naruto: Charge!

Naruto places a foot on the tree but got the same results as if he did it normally, falling backwards and hitting his head. Sasuke got up a lot higher then Naruto but put Tom much chakra and ended up making a footprint in the tree. He sliced it and did a backflip to the ground.

Ryu: Yeah that's about what I expected from both of you.

Sakura: Hey this is fun!

She was sitting on a branch up high in the tree she was climbing. Sticking her tongue out.

Kakashi: Looks like the female in the group has the best chakra control. Well done Sakura.

Ryu: Not bad at all.

Naruto: Way to go Sakura I always knew you were awesome, Believe It!

Ryu: 'I know for a fact he kinda ticked off. Emasculated by a girl would even make me a little mad.'

Sasuke: Tch. Whatever.

Sakura then looked crushed to see that Sasuke was a bit mad at her, but felt a bit better with Naruto praising her.

Kakashi: We spoke about someone becoming Hokage didn't we? Well it looks like it might be Sakura. And as for the great Uchiha clan, maybe they're not so great after all.

Kakashi said that to get under Naruto and Sasuke's skin while trying to get under mine by mentioning Uchiha, but I wasn't that annoyed, until.

Kakashi: And as for becoming the strongest Ninja, she just may surpass you Ryu.

At that comment, I got kinda pissed.

Sakura: That's enough you talk to much Sensei-

She was the interrupted by me flipping up the trees doing backflips and corkscrews up to the top without even using my hands or tripping.

Ryu: WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY NOW SENSEI?!

They all just looked up in amazement and sweat dropped.

Kakashi: I think I'll just shut up now...

Ryu: That's the smart thing to do yeah.

I then backflipped down to the ground with all of them realizing how high I set the bar.

Shojo: Ok you were just showing off with the flips.

Ryu: 'What can I say, when someone pushes the strongest button, I tend to do a bit extra'

I then saw Inari watching from behind the trees.

Ryu: So what do you think now Inari?

He then just walked away.

Ryu: 'Hmph. That kid thinks he has the saddest story in the world, but both my parents died and I'm not feeling sorry oldie myself. So did Sasuke's. Heck Naruto has never even known the lover of a mother or father.'

Shojo: Weren't you 3 when that happened to you?

Ryu: 'Yeah but the difference is I did something about it and got stronger.'

Shojo: He's not a fighter Ryu, he's only a little kid.

Ryu: 'Still that's no excuse to forget that he still has a mother and a grandfather that love him. It just makes me sick to see someone like that'

Shojo: You still care. And you can't say you don't because I've been here since you were born.

She was saying that mockingly.

Ryu: 'He just needs to learn that he can't morn the dead of his dad forever.

I then headed deeper into the forest.

Kakashi: And where are you going?

Ryu: To practice that Jutsu.

Kakashi: You mean that one? What do you call it anyway?

Ryu: I'll tell you when it's done.

I then flashed away.

Kakashi: *Sigh* Just like him...

I appeared in an area away from the others.

Ryu: Alright. Let's do this.

I activated my Sharingan and took a deep breath.

Shojo: Something tells me you'll get a lot further then before.

Like before I focused chakra in my palm and extended it to halfway near my elbow. Then, I added my lightning chakra to the mix.

Ryu: So far so good. Now for the surge.

I increased the intensity of the lightning, and no tres were torn down yet.

Ryu: Ok, now to give it form.

When I focused more, three claws made of lightning and chakra formed.

Ryu: YES!!

I was finally able to complete the Jutsu I had spent weeks on.

Ryu: Now let's see what this thing can do.

I saw a conveniently placed bolder near the trees I rushed at it with incredible speed and went to strike it. When it connected, the bolder was shattered all over and broke into a dozen pieces.

Shojo: Alright! You finally did it!

Ryu: 'Yeah I did!'

???: Well it looks like you've completed the Jutsu, now all you need is a name.

I turned around to see Kakashi and the others behind me. When I looked at their faces they were absolutely dumbfounded at what they saw.

Naruto: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!! YOU DEMOLISHED THAT BOLDER LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! IT WAS AWESOME!!

Ryu: So you all sneaked over to see me practice huh? Well hope your satisfied with what you saw.

Sasuke: Hmph. You've been holding out on us huh Ryu?

Sakura: Now I know why you were so confident about Zabuza, you had such an amazing Jutsu ace your ace in the whole! You could beat Zabuza with that move no problem!

Ryu: You could say that Yeah.

Naruto: So what is it called?! It has to be some super cool name!!

I then pondered my thoughts for a bit before I had the name.

Ryu: I think I'll call it: Rakurai (Thunder Strike, but let's say it's the Thunder God Strike. Who knows I might even trademark it)

Kakashi: Well it certainly fits that's for sure.

Naruto: Can you teach me how to do that?!

Ryu: In your dreams Naruto. This Jutsu is a bit to intense for you to handle. That goes for you to Sasuke, Sakura.

Sasuke: You have to teach us something like that at some point.

Ryu: Don't hold your breath. This is a one of a kind Jutsu that I created. You just witnessed it's completion, so now I have to perfect it.

Sakura: So you created a Jutsu? Amazing.

Ryu: I think the maximum amount I can do in a day is around 4, so for you three it be 2 at best. It requires extreme concentration and an incredible amount of control. Mess up once and it goes out of control.

Kakashi: Well Paired with your Sharingan and your Flying Raijin, that could be a valuable asset against Zabuza.

Ryu: Yeah the problem is it takes a full 2 minute to get it to max power.  Kinda abysmal when it comes to terms of use in a battle. So right now my goal is to get the charge up time down to 30 to 15 seconds. Then I'll focus on the power.

Kakashi: Well it should be easier for you now that you can actually do it. It will become more natural for you as time goes on.

Ryu: Let's hope.

Alright my fellow Shinobi that was it. Hope you enjoyed! Now Ryu's strongest move yet has been created! What are the limits of this incredible move? You have to see in the next few chapters.

Until next time:

Follow your Ninja Way!
