Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 162: Foxy - 1



Chapter 162: Foxy - 1

Once Pa left back home to enjoy his…maggot stew, it was time for Daiki to leave the Hokage training ground behind for the first time in a week.

It was the first time he saw sunlight in that week, and would have strained his eyes a bit…if not for the fact his eyes were special and saw bright lights every second of every day regardless of if it was day or not.

Sadly, while Daiki would have loved to head home for a little bit, he had a deal to pay out on.

And so out into the forests with Jiraiya he went, to meet a familiar spiky haired blonde.

"Ero-sennin, where the hell have you bee-!?" Naruto, right in the middle of a set of push ups with multiple bags of what appeared to be sand tied all over his body began to demand as they appeared, only to pause and blink when he saw Daiki with him, "The hell are you doin' here?" he asked, pushing himself up and crossing his arms.

He'd discarded his orange jacket and so was only wearing a mesh shirt and orange pants, which meant he could see much of his bare torso. The boy while short, was packed with rigid powerful muscle.

Not as powerful and glorious as his own of course, but the hard training the boy put himself through showed.

Though, the sand bags were much less efficient than his own method of weight training.

"I went looking for this brat here, shrimpy brat," Jiraiya shrugged, "I figured he'd be able to teach you something much better than me."

"Huh!? The hell you on about?" Naruto scowled, crossing his arms, it was easy to see the boy was still upset with him about his attitude regarding Lee, "I thought you were some super Sannin like that snake face bastard? Some great shinobi you are if you need some kid my own age to teach me something."

"Ah shut up kid, I'm the Gallant Jiraiya, you won't ever find another shinobi as badass and cool as me," Jiraiya waved the boy off, "The little muscle head beside me just has something in common with you that I don't."

Naruto snorted at him, "Yeah, and what's that pervert?"

"I'm a Jinchuuriki like you," Daiki cut in, time was wasting after all, "I'm here to teach you how to use the Kyuubi's chakra properly."

Naruto's bright blue eyes instantly widened in horror, "You…know?" he swallowed heavily, his shoulders trembling for a moment, "...Wait…like me? You have a monster in you too?"

In response, Daiki scoffed, "The bijuu aren't monsters moron, they're huge masses of chakra that people stuffed in guys like you to make super shinobi that can use their power," he replied, "In that respect we're nothing alike. You're a pansy that that got the strongest of them all handed to you at birth, where as I went out and found the Sanbi myself and sealed it in myself."

He'd already long since played a situation like this out in his head before. And he'd come to the simple realisation, that angering Naruto instead of letting him wallow in his self pity over it, would be the best course of action.

Jiraiya face palmed.

"…W-what…?" Naruto gaped at him, "…Why…why would you do that? How…did you do that?"

For once, he'd rendered Naruto quiet through sheer shock.

"Why wouldn't I?" Daiki crossed his arms and smirked cockily, "Being a Jinchuuriki makes me superior to any normal ninja. Not only do I get the Sanbi's special abilities and he has a ton, but I also heal faster, my chakra grows massively and recovers faster and I can draw on its strength. Did you think I was talking bullshit when I said I could easily crush all of you back at the prelims?"

Naruto outright grimaced, "Just for power? Everyone has always hated me, I've been alone all this time with no parents or anything because of the Kyuubi inside me…and you want the same thing, just for power?"

"Oh grow up Naruto, seriously, it's for your own good," Daiki shot back, "Why the hell would you care what your lessers think of you? The only ones that cared at all were weaklings and civilians, an easy trade off in my opinion. You've got more chakra than ten thousand of those weaklings put together, you've got more chakra than me! Do you understand how absurd that is?"

"Kids…kids, calm down a bit won't you?" Jiraiya sighed and felt the need to step in, "This really wasn't what I had in mind…"

But no, Daiki wasn't having it. He wanted him to help Naruto? He would. And the blonde would be all the better off for it, both physically and mentally. Hell, he'd be happier in the end.

"Buzz off old man, go set up a barrier to stop anyone from sensing chakra within this area and leave us to it," Daiki jutted his chin at him, "I'll be making Naruto see sense, but if anyone senses the Kyuubi's chakra they'll freak out."

Jiraiya hesitated, but Daiki narrowed his eyes at him and then with a mental tug, he called upon his closet allies power.

Almost casually, a bubbling cloak of sizzling red chakra formed around his body, splitting into three huge, thick tails at his back and waving languidly in the air.

He was making a point.

Jiraiya grimaced, understanding, "Fine, but I won't be far." he conceded and disappeared in a blur using a shunshin.

Only then did Naruto speak up, "…That chakra…"

"Like it?" Daiki spread his arms wide and invitingly, massive grin on his face, "This is what is called the Version 1 Bijuu Cloak. It's the step up from that little aura you can call on right now. You can draw right up to as many tails as your bijuu has. In your case, that would be nine." As he finished speaking, he saw the air ripple above them as a clear translucent barrier formed.

"…I don't even know what's going on, but I can tell it's super strong," Naruto grudgingly admitted, "I still don't get it Daiki. Sure it's strong, but why would you want it? Don't you remember, the Kyuubi attacked the village, it killed so many people! It's why I grew up hated and without parents! I don't want to use its power unless I need to!"

"…And?" Daiki replied, "The Kyuubi killed my parents too. My dad died in its initial attack and my mom two years later because of its chakra that infected her. But you don't see me whining about it."
