Naruto: Winds and Changes

'Kyuubi…'Naruto warned as he really did not want to deal with her when she was like this.

'Alright fine…' Kyuubi sighed, a part of her was angry that he wasn't letting her play. Before the chain of events that led her to being sealed inside of a human vessel, she had always played with words when using her charms and looks to 'woo' men as it were, though she had figured that Naruto may not appreciate her natural tendencies for the moment, so she decided to let it go.

'The first thing I am going to teach you is the first technique I ever made. It's called a Youki whip. Essentially it's a whip made of youki that you use to slash or tie up objects. Depending on how good you get the power behind the attack can be low powered enough to leave only light bruises, or be so strong that it can cut through even the toughest metals.'

'And this is your first technique?' Naruto asked incredulously, 'Remind me to never get on your bad side.'

Kyuubi smirked, 'I don't think it would work. You seem to get on my bad side no matter what I say.'

'Ouch,' Naruto winced, 'that was harsh, though the same can be said for you.'

'Touché.'

'Alright so this technique, how does it work?' asked Naruto wanting to get started.

'Right well the key to using this technique is rather simple. All you need to do is channel youki to one of your fingers and then will your energy to 'extend' outward. The length of the whip can vary depending on how long you want it and how much youki you put in it. The only difficulty that you may have is maintaining the shape. The shape of the whip needs to be perfectly smooth and of the same thickness everywhere, which will also be the same radius as your finger, yet it must also be completely flexible so that it's pliant enough to use like one would a normal whip. Now I want you to begin, use the trees to practice on.'

'Got it Kyuubi,' Naruto channeled some of his youki into his left pointer finger, watching in fascination as the energy surrounded his finger. He had not noticed it before but it due to his energy now being a perfect blend of chakra and youki, the color of it had gone from a deep blue to a royal purple. He shook his head and refocused his thoughts on the forming a whip.

Several tendrils appeared and coalesced together around his finger before extending out to form a whip, which began to pool at Naruto's feet. The spiky haired blond lashed out at one of the trees, but was disappointed when it fizzled out before it hit.

Frowning he tried again, several tries later and he was no closer to getting the technique to work, 'What the hell? Why didn't it work?'

Within the seal Kyuubi gave a thoughtful frown as she resisted the urge to laugh at Naruto and instead watched him work on the technique, 'It seems you don't have enough control over your youki to form the whip like this. Try using your index and pointer finger.'

Naruto nodded and followed Kyuubi's advice, the purple energy formed again and the tendrils reformed before taking the shape of a whip. It was noticeably thicker this time, and when Naruto lashed out at the tree it left a small gash across the surface.

'Hmmm, not bad for a first timer, especially since you've only just recently switched from using chakra to youki,' Kyuubi complimented as she observed the damage done through Naruto's eyes. She paused for a moment as she thought of what to say next. Should she tell him what he did wrong? Or should she maybe she should just have him move on to another exercise since he could at least form the whip?

Damn it! This is harder than I thought, Kyuubi complained as she tried to think of how she should talk to the blond. Truth was she was still weary of his power; it was not as strong as hers of course. But it had still been very strong, and with this new mutation on the seal that held her she was limited in what she could actually do; were it to come down to a fight now Kyuubi was not sure if she would win.

'Kyuubi?' Naruto called as he waited for the red-head to elaborate.

'Huh?' Kyuubi snapped out of her thoughts before realizing that Naruto was calling her. 'Oh, erm… sorry, I was distracted by something.'

Naruto frowned but decided not to question Kyuubi for the moment, 'It's alright, so do you have any advice for me?'

'Not at the moment no, it will just take practice to master,' Kyuubi paused as she attempted to gather her thoughts, 'I think that's fine for the moment Naruto, I just wanted you to get an idea of the technique for now. I want you to continue your physical training instead, and come back to this later.'

Naruto nodded and looked down at his weights. Since he no longer had to constantly have them on to keep in shape he had turned them off. Deciding on a weight Naruto began channeling youki through them.

He gave a surprised yelp as his entire body crashed into the ground, creating a crater where he impacted. What the hell!

For several seconds he tried to get back up only to find it impossible. Fuck! I forgot I don't need as much youki as I do chakra!

He heard a giggle in his mind and growled a bit while blushing from embarrassment. He looked at his left arm and groaned.

Six hundred pounds.

Damn it! No wonder these are so heavy! Naruto struggled to move one of his hands so he could drop the weights and restart. It took several minutes but he was eventually able to get the weights to a good setting of 180 lbs. for his arms, 200 lbs. for his legs.

Nodding his satisfaction he looked at his resistance training seals. Those had not been removed since he wanted to keep his true speed hidden unless needed. Right now they were still at level four. Since his body had already adapted thanks to his transformation he decided to change the seal to level five. When he was less experienced he probably would have changed it several settings higher so that he could faster, well, faster.
