Naruto- Secret Sage

Hide and seek extreme edition

"Your talent was never in question brat but your character was. The old man here wanted me to teach you to the best of my ability. My problem was that I needed to see if you'd crack under pressure and this test served that purpose. It is true the first two terms I gave you are ones I have all my students swear but the third was a false one to test you. This entire time I have been using the carrot by helping point out the flaws in your taijutsu and the last two terms were the stick to see if you'd compromise who you were or stand firm in your convictions."-

"You passed the test flawlessly. Without a determination like that to do whatever it took to achieve your dream I would have to worry about you dying whenever we were away from the village which will be often. Make no mistake though no student of mine will not know medical ninjutsu, that term is non negotiable." Tsunade said seriously.

I glared at both of them "Don't do something like this again." I said angrily before flickering away to cool my head after snatching my headband back.

This whole test was pointless and served only to make me angry so I needed to punch something to relieve some of this anger lest it spread to the natural energy around me. That was the biggest downside to being a sage all the time, environmental corruption. If I felt any emotion for long enough the natural energy that exits my body automatically will carry it and if long enough passes it begins to change my surroundings to match. I learned this from the Uchiha massacre that had me raw and on a short fuse for nearly an entire month.-

The yard of the house had barely recovered from the sudden onslaught of thorns that the plants there had gained. It was even worse for any beast that happened to be near me as they picked up on this corrupted natural energy and start to show my own emotions which as you might guess could cause problems. Birds snapping randomly and attacking, insects going out of their way to cause harm and various animals turning aggressive. This doesn't seem unmanageable until you scale it up to every living thing within a several mile radius having this happen to them.-

You know that phrase "It feels like the entire world is out to get me"? Yeah in my case the corrupted nature energy makes that phrase a reality and it is not a pretty sight. As it turns out having the entire world out to get you is enough of a problem to even cause Jonin issues. After I calmed down and realized the problem I had caused I had to make an effort to fix it by draining the natural energy of the area and returning it to it's normal way of operating.-

With that in mind I didn't feel like figuring out what anger corrupted natural energy would cause the environment to transform into. My solution was probably childish but I simply went into the forest and punched about a dozen trees to splitters from top to bottom. Destroying stuff is quite good at removing anger and taking a nap afterwards only helped further. Logically I understood why I was tested but that didn't mean I liked it. I spent the next four days ghosting my new sensei as a result and not even in a way that made it seem like she just missed me. -

I straight up vanished into the forest for four whole days and thanks to my stealth training there was no finding me. Not for lack of effort mind you as I watched Tsunade and her other student Shizune and pet pig Tonton look for me all over the forest since I had told my parents I was going there for a few days. It was cathartic watching the blonde kunoichi fruitlessly try and find me when in fact I was no more than mere meters away chewing on an apple. Camouflage mixed with natural energy cloaking was flat out broken when it came to stealth.-

It was amusing to watch the woman stubbornly refuse to give up and admit she lost despite trying all manner of tricks to find me including seduction which was terrible. She was hot and all that with huge boobs but I wasn't some idiot who used their dick to determine their actions, also she was horrible at seduction. Her best attempt was claiming that she got hot and was going to take off her top like that would actually work somehow. I had a squirrel drop an acorn on her head for that particular attempt.-

You should have seen her face when on the fourth day she saw me sitting on a rock at the entrance of the forest casually reading a book called {stealth for dummies}. She tried to punch me but I was faster than she was and flickered away without even looking up from my book. 

"Do you have any idea how long I have been looking for you brat!?" she asked angrily when it became clear that she wasn't going to be able to hit me.

I might not be able to beat her in a fight but I could definitely escape from her without issue. Hell if I summoned my hawk I could get carried into the air and she would be nearly helpless to chase me without trying to maim. Air superiority is surprisingly uncommon in this world apparently as far as shinobi are concerned so being able to fly or at least be in the sky is a nigh unbeatable advantage. Regardless I didn't need the advantage to escape from her as I was so good at flickering by now that I could create three after images without much issue and five if I really pushed my perception to the limit.-

"Twenty two hours and seven minutes split between four days as of just a moment ago." I said with a grin.

"I knew you were watching! I bet you also threw those acorns at me didn't you?" She demanded and I shook my head.

"That was a squirrel actually, that one over there in fact." I said pointing at the grey squirrel sitting on a branch in position to throw another acorn.

Tsunade looked at the squirrel and it looked back before deciding that throwing that acorn might not be the best idea. Admittedly I did tell the squirrel to throw the first acorn but the eight after that were entirely on it without anything to do with me. Reason being that squirrels were assholes and that one found it amusing how Tsunade reacted to the first acorn. It really was amusing too as the woman flipped a lid when it happened and even punched the tree it came from down. Honestly her spatial awareness was extraordinary to be able to pin point where the projectile came from after it hit her.
