The Kitsune meets The Thunderbolt

Alright gaki! Don't hold back, my Shinobi can handle it. We need to know what kind of firepower you have on you. Alright then, we'll start with the pokemon you have already met. Noivern/Hawlucha/Pikachu let's show them what were made of ! 2 flashes revealed a bat-looking creature with a nearly dozen foot wind span. A birdlike humanoid with three-fingered clawed hands. The mouse is who Kotosuke and Jiraiya were concerned with. That thing casually pulls on Shukaku's amount of chakra and releases it in attacks! You haven't even seen their best yet, Ash said offhandedly. If you require more than them you can use your whole team if it is required. Hokage-Sama if I require my entire team this fight has gotten out of control. Don't speak so soon gaki, you have no idea what you're in for. Anko said as she flipped through different hand positions nicked her tumb, and spoke Summoning Jutsu! An Arbok sized snake appeared and she set it on the attack. Pikachu: let's introduce ourselves to the Shinobi of the Leaf. Thunderbolt!

Anko's first summons disappeared in a puff of smoke. Woah! That mouse is no joke, how the hell did IT produce an A-Rank lightning jutsu!? Hana was already flipping through her own hand signs slamming her palm on the ground Summoning Jutsu: Hanmaru Triplets Now! The three of you: Fang over Fang! Pikachu: Quick Attack, Hawlucha: Flying Press, Noivern: Acrobatics! Guy appeared behind Ash and only a quick application of Aura kept him from a pair of broken arms. Maaan! That's like a high level Mega Kick this Guy doesn't mess around! A quick application of Detect kept him out of Guy's reach. Fireball Jutsu! Yugao called out as she entered the fray. Naruto appeared under her and pulled her into the ground using Hiding Like A Mole Jutsu. Simulating a slit throat he removed her from combat. I'll allow it Tsunade said, Naruto then engaged with Kotosuke the eternal genin. I haven't had a chance to spar with you in some time Sensei. I hope you're ready for me! With that Naruto disappeared from Kotosuke's eyesight. Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu! Kotosuke revealed a high level move on the boys. Naruto was searching his repertoire for a solution. Ash just reacted, grabbing a pokeball he launched it, Goodra: Ice Beam!

When the flash cleared an 11 foot tall multi-purple toned creature, materialized and spat out a blue beam that froze the Water Dragon solid in seconds. Gooooodraaa! She bellowed out as she regarded her trainer. What is this place Ash? She asked him, This place is called The Hidden Leaf Village. Goodra, we fell through a rip in time and space. We are in another world! It's just the 7 of us, and the friends we have made since arriving in this world. She regarded her trainer seriously narrowing her eyes at Ash. We have no way home? None that we know of yet Goodra. She sighed at the situation. Ok we still have each other, that's all I need! My family. Summoning Jutsu! Gama-Tora... The oversized toad appeared from the cloud of smoke. Water Bullet Jutsu! Gama-Tora took a deep breath and unleashed a series of water shots at Goodra. Bide! You can do it! SHADOW CLONE JUTSU! 30 copies of Naruto appeared from the cloud of smoke. All wielding kunai knives, a few just random sticks and other miscellaneous things. Hawlucha use Mean Look on the whole battlefield! Tsunade Senju was surprised for a change. This was some next level genjutsu this creature was using. It compelled the ensnared to do only what it commands. Stay and fight! Kotosuke interjected again at that moment, Great Fireball Jutsu. Goodra: Water Pulse! The Fireball and Water Pulse collided saving Naruto from a nasty burn on his back.

Obscuring them in a steam cloud, Naruto, Naruto! He appeared at Ash's back putting them back to back against their adversaries. Shadow Clone Jutsu in a puff there was another Naruto helping him form the Rasengan. Goodra took 4 hits from the Water Bullets, gritting her teeth she began to glow red. While being struck she returned fire on the incoming flame ball. Now Goodra, Bide! The energy beam hit Gama-Tora who was airborne. Gama-Tora didn't expect to have all of his attacks power returned to him. He managed to hit Goodra on the crown knocking her out. But was over whelmed by the energy beam and dispelled. Jiraiya let out a long whistle, that's some power to break even with Gama-Tora! I've had her since she was a Goomy, I'm very proud of her. He took a deep breath, Goodra, Noivern: Return for now. Greninja, Talon Flame: I choose you! Now the atmosphere of the battle changed. These new Pokemon were not to be trifled with. Great Fireball Jutsu! Anko called out as she tried to gain ground in this fight. Talon Flame: Flame Charge! absorb that fireball. The firebird didn't disappoint, he never does. Taaalllooooon! He burst into flames before the fireball hit him. When it did, the flames became one with his coating. Now! Show them some firepower Talon Flame: Flame Thrower! Naruto was busy trying to keep Guy off of him while dodging kunai from Anko.

That pretty show knife better be good for more than just sitting on your hip gaki. A few hand signs later and her flying kunai turned from 4 to 40. Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu, she breathed out. Hana engaged Ash again along with the Toad Sage. Pikachu show them who's strong! Iron Tail back to back. Jiraiya prepared to summon another battle toad. Get ready you guys! Naruto smashed a Rasengan on the ground in front of Guy to send dust and debris into his eyes. Using the dust cloud as distraction, for Pikachu to land back on Ash's shoulder. Naruto Pikachu's attacks are Thunderbolt, Thunder, Quick Attack, and Iron Tail. Ranged, Area, Speed, Melee, in that order. They can be combined and he has tons of power. Got it! They bumped fists and went back into the fray. Pikachu jumping off of Ash's shoulder and onto Naruto's. You're hair and my fur are almost identical. Pikachu said to Naruto, we're awesome don't you agree Pikachu? Yup! Dodge to your left, now! Naruto scarcely rolled out of the way of a kunai with an explosive tag on it. ANKO! We're not trying to kill the gaki's, don't maim them woman! Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune all broke the Mean Look spell simultaneously. It was rather taxing on their chakra reserves.

I've a got a couple more moves I can use but I won't show you unless you earn those.

Naruto pouted at Pikachu, Fine! see if I care, as long as we win! Greninja: Double Team! The deep grumble came from Naruto's mind scape, where did these creatures come from? This mouse and that frog, how are they as or more powerful than Isobu? Hmmm, did you say something fox? Nothing gaki, now shut up and let me sleep! Hey Naruto? Pikachu asked, What or who was that? It felt like being near a Rayquaza or something similar. What power! What the heck is a Ray-whatever!? Naruto asked the little mouse, a Legendary Pokemon, the protector of space around our world. Woah, Cool! You guys are awesome Pikachu, I'm glad we met. Tch! Fine... Hokage-Sama, I retract my previous statement since we're not in our own world anymore. Hawlucha, Noivern: Let's go! Talonflame: Fire Blast Noivern: Hurricane. Woah! Naruto said as he watched Talonflame and Noivern combine the techniques. Let's help them out Pikachu: THUNDER! Ash grinned savagely, Combination Technique: Thundering Hurricane Blast. Jiraiya, Kotosuke, and Anko had to throw up a combination Mud Wall to keep the attack at bay. Threat assessment is now Low Jounin, Mid to High Jounin with his full team present. As is! Untrained and everything, she made her choice... THATS ENOUGH! Tsunade Senju bellowed out, this brought even Hawlucha and Guy to a stand still. Guy then bows to Hawlucha, your youth burns so brightly and your Taijutsu is exquisite. Luuchaaa lucha cha

Yes my feathered friend, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Guy gave his gleaming smile, then bowed to Hawlucha again. I hope we get to exchange blows again friend Pokemon. Extending a fist out for Hawlucha to bump. Ok gaki, don't get too excited! The Hokage cut Ash off before he spoke. From what I can see, you hesitate when its violence towards humans. As a Shinobi that's a terrible view to have! However as a combat medic? One trained by TWO of the Sanin she said. You might make quite the force to be reckoned with even for a Kage Level Shinobi. Ash wasn't quite sure what she meant by that. So he nodded and listened to her anyway. There's not much for jutsu training, until we figure out if Ash's powers can do what chakra does. That's why him learning the Shinobi Arts while he's stranded on this world, is our experiment. I'm game Jiraiya said, I'm in and I'll make you good with those blades gaki Anko said. This is as interesting as I have run across in decades, Kotosuke added, I'm in! Ash if you'd let me, we can create a Taijutsu style specifically for you. One you can use with your partners capable of melee fighting. Hana interjected, the medic with the most experience after Shizune Taicho is me. Since you have your pokemon and I am the best Veterinarian in the village. Both Shizune and Tsunade agreed to this. Anko, Hanna, Kotosuke, and Guy would spend the next week hammering the snot out of Ash day in and day out.

During this week Ash would discover he was capable of Harden. If he could use Harden, then eventually he can learn Iron Defense. He also began to develop the beginnings of Thunder Punch, and Water Pulse. But the biggest surprise was in his development of a Shadow Ball. Both Shikaku Nara and Ash Ketchum were surprised by the others ability with shadows. The way the shadows bent and shaped themselves into the ball construct were enticing to the Nara clan head. It's a shame we only have a week to teach you the basics. A bit more time and we could at the very least get you use to them. No worries Nara-San, I will get what I can out of this. *POOF* Jiraiya disappeared in a reverse summoning. What the hell just happened!? Both Naruto and Ash hollered out, it would appear that Master Jiraiya was reverse summoned. Does that mean the toads called him back to their lands? Heeeeeyyyyy! I'm a toad summoner too! Why didn't I get called back too? Only Master Jiraiya can answer that now Naruto-Kun. Little did they know Jiraiya would be gone for a while.

-Mount Myoboku-

Pa' the egg, it's shakin' again! Now who would've thought that this egg was real!? Pa' said as he brought some blankets to wrap around the bottom of the egg while Ma' tried to incubate it. They elders scrambling while the Great Elder was bombarded with memories of his youth. Before even the time of the sage, I was but a tadpole when father was gifted this egg by... Arceus-Sama. One day a boy like a Thunderbolt would appear to claim this young one. Now over a millennium later, the egg shows the first signs of life. Something of great significance has taken place in the elemental nations. Our senior summoner and his apprentices are directly tied to this. He must take the Thunderbolt child as a student. He will be the bridge between his world and ours. Bunta-Boy! Reverse summon Jiraiya-Boy so we can tell him of this. A few moments later Jiraiya would appear in a cloud of chakra smoke. Pa', Bunta, what's going on? Jiraiya-Kun! The Great Elder called out, come and take a seat with me. He bellowed out having felt the chakra of the pervert appear in the vicinity.

As he made his way towards the Elder Toad, he passed Ma' sitting on a peculiar looking egg. He shook his head putting that off for later. He continued until he was facing the Great Elder Toad Sage. I would like to nap but what I must say is of utmost importance. The elder carried on, Ages ago before the time of Hagaromo Ohtsusuki. My own Tou-San was visited by a Diety from another plane. In an attempt to foster relations between our kind and their own. Because it might be born in this world, Arceus-Sama meditated for a full week. While channelling vast amounts of Nature Energy. When I say vast amounts, I mean even now, all the Toads on the Mountain. Yourself included, do not have enough chakra to avoid being turned into statues. Within this week Arceus-Sama would produce a single Pokemon egg. Created by Aura and Chakra this egg is prophesied to be hatched by a boy like a Thunderbolt. In my vision he is seen as a secondary apprentice to you Jiraiya-Kun.

I would be willing to show him the ropes, but his powers are rather foreign to me. These Pokemon he carries are powerful creatures. They could be invaluable in turning the tides of battles. They appear to be trustworthy and loyal creatures. They have a keen intellect and comprehend human speech well.

-Shikaku Nara-

There's no telling how long it's going to take for Master Jiraiya to return. Ash would you like to work on your Shadow techniques? Maybe we can both learn more about shadows together. I am very curious about your Shadow Ball, may I see it? Naruto, I am going to use Shadow Stitching on you, YOU are going to dodge them any way you see fit.Yes Shikaku Sensei, I'm always up to bettering my skills. Very well then Naruto-Kun, let's get to work. Shikaku went through a few hand seals and called out Shadow Stitching Jutsu. Naruto was nearly pierced through, a quick use of Replacement Jutsu saved his skin. Even with the use of the log he was still on the back foot. The Jounin Commander showing off a bit. While watching Ash concentrate, and slowly begin to form the ball of darkness in his palms. I barely figured out how to coalesce the dark type energy. I have tons of practice to do until we're ready to use it in battle, if ever. I was very intently watching what Ash was doing. At the same time he had the large Gecko/Toad meditating gathering dark type energy. He was attempting to create something called Night Slash. A dark move to power up his partner. They had this bond ability that made the Toad more powerful. Something akin to entering Sage Mode. I dare say that Pikachu is in a permanent unmastered Sage Mode. If it ever crosses into mastered Sage Mode, I fear for the enemies that stand in Ash's way.

Pikachu; use the trees to work on agility. See if we can't combine Agility and Quick Attack buddy. The mouse answered Piiikaa while flexing which had the clear flavor of "You got it bro!" all over it. Next thing you know the little shit is moving at speeds just below Minato's. It was remarkable, Now Greninja/ Goodra: Water Pulse! This bipedal Water Dragon is a genuine sweetheart. But that sweetness is exactly how powerful she is. Her chakra alone is enough to make me sweat. That's not mentioning the Toad and the Mouse. The Firebird is absolutely amazing! Talonflame he calls it. It has mastery over the fire element and the air. It's speed is terrifying, That Steel Wing is enough to decapitate a man. That bipedal birdlike humanoid, Hawlucha is its name. Taijutsu oriented and very good at it, enough to garner Guy's attention. The airborne Dragon is rather frightening as well. He doesn't breathe fire yet, says Ash. He is good for support and has long range firepower. That Dragon Pulse is a beautiful attack but man, does it do some damage. This 14 year old is running around with 2 Dragons, 2 birds, a Toad, and a Mouse. That team makes him undoubtedly an A-Rank threat already. Once he has training he can climb to high A-Rank. Or cross into S-Rank territory, which is what I foresee if Jiraiya-Sama takes him as a second student. Come on Gaki you've got this! I said as I made Uzumaki sweat a bit trying to avoid my Shadow Stitching Jutsu.

Ok! That's enough Naruto, come here. Good work, there are very few Chunin who can avoid that attack for as long as you just did. Be proud of yourself son, listen Ash stop for a few minutes. Come with me I walked them over to my pack and I pulled out two chakra testing papers. I wanted to see how much chakra each of them has. Naruto, hold this paper and channel your chakra into it. Like a litmus paper, but this measure your chakra volume. I handed one to Ash as well, we've already established that Chakra and Aura are almost identical. That being the case, this should be able to measure how much Aura you have to harness at the moment. His eyes lit up after that brief explanation. Grabbing the sheet and channelling his Aura through it. Naruto filled the whole sheet which was to be expected, but surprising nonetheless. I looked over at Ash, would you look at that!? Nice young man, nice! You have Low Jounin reserves already. That's pretty damned strong for a gaki of your age. Once we get you trained up a bit, your reserves are gonna expand, giving you more options in battle. Nice! He said in response to that information. Ok Naruto let's do the Chakra Paper test again but this time you're gonna hold back your Wind Chakra.This time the paper still split but this time into 4 one side burnt. One side soaked, one side wrinkled into nothing. The line that split the sheet was a flare of fire. Congratulations Naruto, you have affinities to Wind, Fire, Lightning, and Water. Woohoo! I'm gonna be the strongest ninja ever! That's quite possible Naruto-Kun, but you're gonna have to work for it. You bet Shikaku Sensei! You'll see I'll become the strongest Hokage ever, Belive It!

Shikaku Sensei what's the purpose of this? Well Ash, this is something that we Shinobi use to measure chakra reserves. These sheets aren't cheap and, you got lucky that this experiment requires them.

-Mount Myoboku-

So you have encountered these Pokemon already Jiraiya-Kun? Yes GamaMaru-Sama, he saved us from an ambush on our way back towards Konoha. Is that so? So tell me Jiraiya, is the boy really like a Thunderbolt? I'd say so! All the way down to the Thunderbolt shaped birthmarks he has on his cheeks. Kinda like... Naruto, Jiraiya breathed his name out softly. So if I'm supposed to be teaching them, then what am I doing here? You must see what we toads have been guarding for 25 thousand years now. One of the larger toads was carrying Ma' sitting on an egg. The egg glowed for a moment, There it goes again Pa', it's getting closer together. Jiraiya-Kun, I have a feeling that you will require both your students to help this young one into the world. I see, this is heavy. Sighing deeply, he said, I agree GamaMaru-Sama. The only person we know that has any knowledge of pokemon is Ash Ketchum. Fine! Reverse summon me back to the village. I've got to prepare these gaki and have Ash sign the Toad Contract. Beware Jiraiya-Kun, He is not from our world, what happens from this action will be a brand new experience, be ready for anything! With a final warning from GamaMaru-Sama, Pa' slammed his hand in the ground. Reverse Summoning Jutsu, in a puff of chakra smoke, he returned Jiraiya to the human world.

-Naruto and Ash-

Thanks for letting me crash at your place, while I figure things out. Sure thing Ash, I'll always help my friends out ya' know? Yeah I get it, I'd do the same if I could. Suddenly there was a banging on Naruto's front door. Bakka Na! Open the door right now, NARUTO!!! Hmmm what's eating her? Were you expecting guests? Not really, Naruto shrugged, don't really have many friends here. I'm gonna be honest, I don't like the way this feels. Their auras are very dark and it's aimed towards you. Oh? You can feel negative emotions too!? Yeah, between Larvitar and Lucario, I've had plenty of experience with them. Woah, are those pokemon too? Yeah, they are *Bang, Vang, Bang* Come on Naruto, open up Bakka! We know you're back now. Hey, you ok? Do you even want to deal with them? I'm tired and this situation with you and your team actually worries me. How can we get you home safely? I see, Ash said, smiling at his newest friend. The door got banged on again and the. Next thing they knew Ash snatched the door open. Can I help you!? You keep banging on the damned door, as if you own the fucking place. We'll that was rude! Sakura was about to screech when Pikachu jumped up on his shoulder and sparked his cheeks angrily. Naruto is tired from his mission and the training we just did. So if this sint important or related to his S-Rank, kindly fuck off. Who the hell are you!?

More importantly, who the fuck do you think you're talking to!? Ash waved his hand infront of his nose. I see why he calls you Dog Breath, ugh! Brush your teeth once in a while, Mutt. In a bright flash Hawlucha was next to Ash and Pikachu. Problem? No buddy, these guys were just leaving so Naruto can get some rest. Lu Luchaa What the fuck are those things? Are these some weak ass summoning animals or something? He turned his head back inside, Hey I'm gonna go teach a mutt some manners. Be back in a few! Get you some rest man. Here he tossed her ball at him, Goodra is the nicest girl ever. She's very powerful so she's got your back while I train this mutt for you. You talk an awful lot of muck for a weakling. WHAT!? Listen Buddy I don't know who the fuck you think you are but you're not even a Shinobi. You shouldn't be picking fights where you can be killed for it. Ash disappeared in a quick attack, reappearing behind Kiba's back. A Thunderwave already active in his palm. You shouldn't make assumptions about people you don't know. Akamaru tried to lunge at Ash only to be Tailwhipped by Pikachu. Akamaru whined, What!? What do you mean the yellow thing is A-Rank or better!? NO WAY I'm gonna believe that shit!! Training Ground 7, catch us if you can! Come on guys! I'LL RACE YA' THERE! Ash yelled out as he disappeared in a Quick Attack. Moving at Special Jounin speeds Ash, Hawlucha and Pikachu whooshed into the clearing. It was a solid 2 minutes before Kiba and Sakura came rushing in. Why do you have such a problem with Naruto?

He called you his friends but you both feel nasty and dark. Like you'd do anything to him if you had the chance to. What!? Wait a moment, I don't even know how you can say that. Sakura said, Naruto Bakka is my teammate and he's the dead last loser of the class. Ash, Hawlucha, and Pikachu all scoffed simultaneously. Right, Ash rolled his eyes at the pair. Cute words but your intentions say the opposite and you can't fake those. So, why are you bothering Naruto after retrieving the Godaime Hokage? What? That loser didn't do anything of the sort. Why would the Council allow that? I don't know? Ash said, I know who your Godaime Hokage is. Naruto, Jiraiya Sensei, and I escorted her to the Village. HER!?!? Kiba screamed out indignantly, while Sakura got stars in her eyes. Are you gonna do something or not? Because you're boring me already! Just then Naruto appeared in the clearing within a swirl of leaves. AWESOME! Hey Ash, thanks for the pointers, I finally figured out Shunshin! Good, I'm glad you're here dead last! You cam tell your friend to watch his fucking mouth when talking to his betters, when he wakes up. What!? Ash what's going on here? Why are you fighting Kiba? They came in bad faith and I called them on it. Akamaru tried to attack him and I Tailwhipped him. Pikachu added for Naruto's ears, I see he said. He put his hand on Ash's shoulder, don't maim him. He still has to perform as a Shinobi, I understand. Ash said as Naruto stepped to the side of the field. WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW BAKKA!? Why would you ever let civilian fight a ninja Naruto? Sakura-Chan, you should probably shut up and watch. Ash Ketchum is currently a Special Jounin threat.

Once we've shown him the Shinobi Arts I promise you he won't be anything less than an Elite Jounin threat. Shit! Just him and Pikachu alone are an A-Rank threat. Pikachu, I don't want to cripple Akamaru, stay here. Hawlucha, I choose you! Hey Naruto! Watch Pikachu for me will ya'? Sure thing buddy! Come catch a seat Pikachu Naruto said patting his shoulder. Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder hit the ground, then jumped and landed on Naruto. What the hell is that thing!? Sakura asked, surprised by how nimble the creature was. Oh! This is Pikachu he's an electric type mouse pokemon. Pikachu introduced himself, waving at Sakura. He can talk!? Like a summoning animal? No, not like that. They have a language, but to humans it sounds like they're saying their name. Over and over again in slightly different ways. Chu, Pikachu said in an affirmative manner. So, they're his summons? No, his partners came here with him, from his world. Alright mutt let's get started, All Fours Jutsu! Kiba rushed at Ash moving just below Quick Attack speeds. Ash smirked, both he and Hawlucha moved as he spoke, Quick Attack. Use that speed buddy! Akamaru can take it, X-Scissor! At the last moment Ash ducked under the spinning Kiba. Using that movement as a spring Ash unleashed a Highjump Kick right into Kiba's ribs. Akamaru too was overpowered by Hawlucha's X-Scissor attack. At least he landed safely into Kiba's gut. Knocking the wind out of his sails, Kiba gasped out trying to catch his breath. Hey Hawlucha, I think we got our point across, good job not hurting Akamaru, Return. In a crimson flash Hawlucha returned to his pokeball. Still in between gasps Kiba ground out Oh no, you're not getting off that easy punk. Kiba released his chakra his nails elongating and his features going feral. Take this, Tunneling Fang! Ash had absolutely no need to worry, why should he when Pikachu works in fragments of seconds.

Before the first revolution of his attack was done. Pikachu was 15 feet in the air already crackling his cheeks. The onlookers only heard Pii Kaa Chuuuu! Kiba Inuzuka didn't even know what hit him. He hit the ground and tumbled, then slid to a twitching stop. Pikachu's electricity still arcing over his smoking body. Pikachu landed back on Ash's shoulder with a self satisfied look on his face. That's what you get mutt, bit off more than you can chew this time. Sakura was slack jawed, as not only did the creature fight but. Ash Ketchum just took out Kiba with a single knee strike. All while making sure to not harm Akamaru. That's rather impressive actually, she mused, Ash really cares for life in general. Maybe he's not so bad after all? *PUFF* Jiraiya reappearing in the village after a few days of being gone. He frowned and shunshined to Tsunade's office. Hime I'm back, Jiraiya where have you been? Tsunade nearly screeched at him. Tsuna-Hime the toads have a pokemon egg..

WHAT!? From what GamaMaru-Sama says they've been holding on to it for an Aeon.

Psssssffffttttt Tsunade spit her tea out. 25,000 years!? That's very hard to believe Jiraiya, according to the Great Sage. Arceus the pokemon God came here and made an egg with Aura and Chakra. Entrusting his child to the toads for safety, this egg was thought to be a dud because it never hatched.

Recently the egg has taken life and seems to be preparing to hatch. GamaMaru-Sama says, a boy like a thunderbolt would help bring this child into the world. One of my apprentices would be it's trainer, bringing in a new age connected to the pokemon world. So tell me Hime, where is Ash? He should be staying with Naruto, the gaki already put the hurt on the Inuzuka heir. He's very defensive of his friends, that can be bad but, overall good. I'm gonna have him sign the contract, the toads want help with the egg. Alright, I'll go find them! I have to get him on the contract so Ma' and Pa' can reverse summon us to Myobokuzen. Not sure how long we'll be gone when we do go. *PUFF* Jiraiya was back in the village, in a shunshin he disappeared to Tsunade's office. What the hell happened Jiraiya? The toads Hime, they have a pokemon egg. They have a WHAT!? You heard me the first time Tsunade, you're just having a hard time believing me. Where are the boys? Probably on the training fields with Shikaku and Choza

-Nara Training Field-

Shadow Stitching Jutsu, the tendrils of solid shadow trying impale Ash as he dodged. Greninja, Hawlucha, Quick Attack the first signs of a Shadow Ball beginning to form in Shikaku and Shikamaru's hands. They would teach the new skill you their clan members. At least the ones capable of channelling senjutsu. That was the missing component for a chakra based Shadow Ball. Once they get it down the Clan should have a powerful ranged attack. It was Ash talking about how an Aura Sphere was formed that got Shukaku's mind whirling. The one with the gift for shape manipulation was actually Shikamaru. He had already been working on a Shadow Kunai Jutsu as well as the sword counterpart. Shadow Senbon is something he was already saving for the Jounin exam.
