Naruto- Secret Sage

Taijutsu progress and massacre

"Is the technique chakra heavy or really just that hard?" i asked curiously since she seemed quite wore out from that demonstration.

"A bit of both, usually the technique is only learned at the Jonin level and I am only a special Jonin and only then because I am a Kenjutsu specialist." Mito said honestly.

"I see and you said it was just separating my chakra into different layers?" I asked and she nodded while taking many gulps from her jug.

Holding up my palm i began to concentrate my chakra there and a head sized gout of blue flame looking energy shot out and I began to try and separate it into two parts with one moving clockwise and the other moving counter clockwise. even though the energy was still connected.

"Like this?" I asked holding out my hand.

"It's extremely rough but that's pretty much the first step to the technique. Also just how much damned chakra do you have?" Mito asked in astonishment.

"No idea, so if this is all I need then i should figure it out on my next attempt." I said and started flowing my chakra into my hands in small amount and using this layer technique created five edged from the tip of my finger all the way to the base of them.

Reaching out for an apple it got torn apart under my grip and I smiled triumphantly. "Ha! Pincers copied!" I said smiling, pleased with the result.

Mito looked at my mom "No seriously where on earth did you find this monster at and do they have any more?" she asked eagerly.

My mom just shook her head helplessly "Just him I'm afraid, he was a lucky find to be honest as we would have entirely missed him had he not had this staggering affinity to animals that caused them to gather at his grandmothers house. The poor woman kept putting up missions find the solution but no one could figure it out until he got that scorpion. Running theory is he was born with some sort of bloodline mutation that makes him like this. We adopted him since Aoi and I can't have children ourselves and his abilities are right up our alley." she said honestly with a proud smile.-

Mito left after that but kept showing up every now and then to compare her chakra flow to my own which seemed to help her a lot as she got much better each time I saw her. As for me I spent a couple of days getting my new pincer form down before I started to try and copy Rens stinger and poison chakra. The movements were easy to get a handle on but the transformation from chakra to poison was a problem. As I found out it wasn't as simple as I hoped and could only give up for now and settle for just having the first form of my new taijutsu style done.-

Iruka sensei was not happy at all when I showcased the new form in a spar with Sasuke. Apparently chakra flow was WAY too dangerous to be used in a friendly spar as he stopped the fight the moment he saw me use it. The rest of the form was a great success though as with pincer form I could grip my opponent like an inescapable vise before using stinger form with my other hand to deal serious damage to my opponent, I was banned from using stinger form. That lead me to my next form in my Taijutsu style, Cat form.-

For this form I mimicked the way my cat would walk, lay, run and attack things before adding chakra flow to my fingers to complete the form. Just like with Rens ability to turn chakra to poison I couldn't figure out how to copy my cats ability to blend into shadows as well. It was frustrating to be honest as I sensed the way its chakra moved when it used it's ability and copied it down to the tiniest detail yet failed to replicate the ability. This Taijutsu form was not banned so long as I didn't use chakra flow thankfully.-

Naruto was jealous of my new moves but when I tried to teach him he ended up injured in most cases as his body wasn't made for the forms. I also had no clue how to train him so he could use the forms either. Sasuke was not a big fan of my new cat form though as he couldn't land a hit since I would dodge in strange contortions. Iruka sensei begged me to move up a grade again but I said no again. Before I could start working on copying my hawk something happened that shook the village to it's core, the uchiha clan was massacred.-

The worse part was I FELT it happen through the natural energy of the village. One moment everything was normal and the next lives were being snuffed out one after the other far in the distance from our house. You know that one quote from star wars where Obi wan is all like "I feel a great disturbance in the force like many lives crying out in terror before suddenly being silenced" that is the best way to describe what I was feeling.-

It was too much death all at once and all I could do was curl up in my bed and cry as I weathered the sensation of an hundreds of lives being put out in a short amount of time. If I had been as attuned to nature as I was now I imagine that I would have felt the death brought about by the nine tails attack so long ago as well. Three hours, that was all it took for the entire Uchiha clan to be killed. When it was done and over with there was no peace to be found for me, I almost wanted to beg for something, anything to fill the void I felt in that direction.-

The whole village was in a buzz about the massacre the next day but I refused to leave my home as even hours later I was shivering and had red puffy eyes from shedding tears uncontrollably. I wasn't alright for at least a week after the event and even then my nerves were raw and I snapped at people for even the smallest thing for the rest of the month. It took that long for the void in the uchiha compound to start getting filled with normal nature energy again and thus ease up on my senses.-

Sasuke was not much better off than me when he finally returned to class as he mourned his clan and family and held an unfathomable hatred for his brother Itachi. Our spars got violent as we both sought the sweet focus of pain to soothe our minds if for but a moment. It wasn't even a matter of skill but pure brutality as we just stood in place and punched the other while eating punches. We were stopped before it went too far and no one knew why I was so affected by the massacre as well since there was no one I was willing to share my secret of being a sage with.
