"FUCK!"
The curse along with several more loud sounds of vulgarity rang throughout a small clearing along the borders of Hi No Kuni and Kaze No Kuni.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
"It's not funny Ero-sennin!" Naruto scowled at his sensei who was rolling on the ground and holding his stomach. The blond Uzumaki made an attempt to stand, before falling back on his ass and hissing in pain as he felt his calf muscles stitching themselves back together. "I've been working on this thing for four months now and I still can't seem to get it right."
Jiraiya gasped and wheezed several times as he finally regained his composure. "You're right brat, it's not funny," The white haired man's facial features twitched several times before he burst out laughing again. "It's hilarious! Watching you smash yourself against rocks, trees and other objects while trying to get this technique down is some of the finest entertainment I've ever had. The only thing that can beat watching you kill your brain cells via bashing your head into solid objects is having a harem of beautiful women dance for me."
"Laugh it up Ero-sennin," Naruto said with a scowl, he sat on the ground for several long moments before testing out his re-healed limbs, standing on them and moving them around. He sighed before grumbling a bit, "We'll see who gets the last laugh."
He was already plotting his revenge against his sensei for laughing at him and not helping him complete this technique. All he needed was some rope, a marker, some honey, and a banana.
Yes, soon Jiraiya would regret laughing at Uzumaki Naruto.
"You know, you still haven't told me what this technique of yours is." Jiraiya commented as he watched his student exercise his re-healed calves. "I might be able to help if you actually tell me what it is you're trying to do."
Naruto looked at his sensei before sitting down. "I'm working on a speed technique similar to the Shunshin except this one is supposed to be entirely combat-oriented. What I do is channel chakra, or youki in my case, to the bottom of my feet. After that I expel the youki in short bursts that would theoretically propel me from short distances instantaneously."
Jiraiya seemed to hum in thought as he looked at his student. "So what's the problem?"
"That's just it!" The blond gave a cry of frustration. "There isn't a problem, the theory is completely sound. Yet for whatever reason whenever I go past three steps my calf gets torn to shreds and even getting the technique ready takes at least three seconds, which is three seconds too long in combat." It was the most frustrating situation he had ever been in. No matter how hard he tried, how much chakra he used nothing seemed to change. He could as much or as little as chakra as he could, but the technique always ended the same way, the muscles in his calves getting torn apart.
'Naruto-kun.' Naruto blinked several times as he heard Kyuubi's voice come across through the seal.
'Yes?' asked the whisker faced blond.
'It may have something to do with the fact that you're not using chakra, but youki.' Kyuubi gave what amounted to a mental tail flick as she began her explanation. 'Because youki is a lot more unstable than chakra it's most likely causing an influx when you try and send it out in bursts.'
Naruto frowned. 'So then what should I do? I can't just give up on this technique.'
'I'm not saying you should.'Kyuubi replied mildly. 'But you may need to get better youki control, or even think about adding the elements to the technique as a counterbalance for the instability of your youki.'
Naruto sighed. 'You may be on to something… thanks Kyuu-chan.'
Within the seal Kyuubi gave a grin. 'You're welcome.'
"Oi! Gaki!"
Naruto blinked as he found Jiraiya waving a hand in front of his face. "Sorry Ero-sennin." The blond rubbed the back of his head and gave a sheepish grin.
Jiraiya rolled his eyes. "Having a dialogue with your inner vixen?" He gave his student a lecherous grin.
"Can it you old perv!" Naruto glared at the man. Jiraiya tended to tease Naruto a lot about the various women who seemed to come into the blonde's life, but he always seemed to have a particular fondness of making fun of his relationship with Kyuubi. Naruto thought it was because the white haired man liked the thought of having a hot woman in his head.
'Such a flatterer Naruto-kun.' Kyuubi spoke in a seductive purr as she heard the passing thoughts.
'Ugh... not you too,' Naruto grumbled a bit, the red-haired demoness had been getting worse with her blatant...flirting? He wasn't sure that was the right word since while they got along much better ever since his near death experience at the hands of Orochimaru, they still didn't seem to quite click. Of course, that could be because he wasn't all that comfortable with her when she got too close. While he would admit that she was starting to grow on him, there were some times when he just didn't want to deal with her.
