3 hours passed then several Chunnins appeared with Minato in the middle. Looks like they have decided who was going to fight who in the finals one month from now.
Minato: "Okay contestants!!! This are going to be the match ups for the finals one month from now! You will be able to return to you respective villages to train and prepared before returning in a month. We will give you a letter telling you the meeting point in a month and the location of the Finals.
First fight will be, Ibiki vs Flora
Second fight will be, Karen (sand ninja) vs Alvin Uchiha
Third fight will be, Po Hyuga vs Lluvia(Rain Ninja)
Fourth fight wil be, Baki (Sand Ninja) vs Gekko Hayate
Fifth fight will be, Kusei vs Might Gal
Sixth fight will be, Mei Terumi(Mist Ninja) vs Asuma Sarutobi
The winners of those fight will then been drawn in the spot by lottery to see who fight next till there is one final winner. The winner will be granted 1 million ryo and a A rank jutsu. So try your best."
Then some Chunnins where passing some letters to those not belonging to Konoha. Most likely it was a pass or letter giving permission for entering back in a months time. They had the option of staying in Konoha and prepare here before the finals but for those who wanted to return, were given the letters.
Looks like Lluvia, Mei Terumi decided to stay in Konoha. Baki, Karen and his team member that did not pass were returning to train at their hidden sand village. Since most of the participants were from Konoha we didn't need to worry much. We kind of had an idea of what the other were capable off.(well maybe not if they learn new stuff in this month. I had hide my Ice Release blood line and it was about time I show it to the world in a month).
Everyone was leaving after that, but Raido, Kusei and me got stopped by Minato.
Minato: "Team 13 can I have a word with you. The Hokage wants to meet you know. I'll guide you to his office." he said.
We all grab hands while Minato touch my shoulder and we disappeared and got a little seasick since we teleported and reappeared with flash in the office of my dad. Experiencing [Hirashin no jutstu, Thunder God] was weird, I saw it with my [SS] so now all I needed was indeed info on how it worked. The difficult part was getting used to the disorientation once we got and reappeared in the desired location.
My dad looked like he was facing opposite to us. I manage to caught a glimpse and saw the purple crystal ball. Looks like he was keeping a eye on us since the chunnin exam.
Hiruzen: " We need to talk to what happened in the Forest of Death. My Anbu found several tortured, decapitated and mangled Konoha gennins. The Kumo ninjas bodies were not found either and I have to report this to the Raikage. I know you guys had a confrontation with them in the forest. I ask for you to deliver the their heads to me. I will have to take responsibility for what happened. I don't want promising gennins to be targeted, I will report we found out their actual plot, even if they denied it I will take full responsibility that my Anbu's take them down while saving you guys. They obviously were above regular Jounnin level. So please could I have the heads of the Kumo ninjas." he said as he stared at us.
I step forward took a scroll out from one of my seals on my wrists, and open the scroll on the floor activating it. After a spoof of smoke the three Kumo's head appeared with their eyes open in shock as that was the last expression they had when they died.
The hokage had a grim expression seeing it. He got his hand and massage his eyebrows.
Hiruzen: "I see that you did had their heads. I just got recent information that these were some of the Raikage's special unit he personally train in the [Lighting Release Armor] the signature S-rank jutsu from the Raikage himself. As previously stated you did not killed them, it was my Anbu who did. We don't want bounties on your heads. Do you guys have anything to say to me about what happened?"
Raido: "Yes, we had previously actually made plans to confront the Kumo ninjas, since it look like they had a grudge against us for no apparent reason."
Kusei: "When we encountered them on the 5th day they admitted they were sent to kill Konoha Gennins to deminish our future war potential. They admitted they killed about 5 Konoha teams in the Forest of Deaths."
Asuma:" I had previously actually ordered Kusei and Raido that my target was Kumo ninjas since I noticed they had some kind of skill similar to the Raikages legendary Lighting Armor. I wanted to extract/ to collect such information for my future Tai Jutsu training. They were stronger than we expected so we kind of had to go all out. I had to pull some of my trump cards to manage to kill them." I said with a straigth face.
Hiruzen: "Son, did you extracted any kind of information. Or useful evidence of their mission here. That could help allot especially to threaten the Raikage."
Asuma: "Actually dad I have taken allot from them. I want to contribute to Konoha by giving you all the secret jutsus I extracted from them in exchange for me to learn some from the scroll of secrets." I said looking him dead in the eyes.
Minato: " So what do you got?" he said curiously.
Asuma: "This is what I manage to get." I said has I again took a scroll out from one of the seals in my wrists.
The scroll was pretty big since I added allot of detail about the jutsus and how to use them complimenting them with other combinations.
Asuma: " What I got here are the Lighting Release: Electric Circus, Water Release: Water Stream blast, Lighting Release: Electric Panther, Lighting Release: Electric Web, Kumo's military sword style techniques, Kumo's tactical movement sets for their assassination squad* (Anbu), Lighting Release: Plasma Fists/Kicks, and finally Lighting Release: Lighting Armor Raikage edition." I said has I brag my collection.
My dad Hiruzen and Minato had their eyes round and with their mouths open...well my dad had it open and Minato had a weird smile like he didn't expected such big haul.
Minato: "God thats not what I expected. To actually have the secret jutsu of the Raikage. Hokage he is planning on adding this secrets to the Forbidden scroll. He totally is a giant contribution."
Hiruzen: "Indeed this is beyond belief, but how did you manage to interrogate to get this much info." he said with a questioning look.
Asuma: "I thought you were watching with your crystal ball dad. You think I don't know when somebody is watching me?" this got a small surprise look from my dad.
Hiruzen: "You knew you were being watched?" he said
Asuma: "Dad, I am very sensitive to my surroundings. I am kind of a sensor ninja, been training on capable of detecting anything near my radius or at least detect if I am being watched." I said back with a smile.
Hiruzen: "I see looks like you grown quiet fast son, but you haven't told me how you did it. I did saw you seal the chakra from the captain of the Kumo after that I just saw you touch his head with your right hand. It kind of reminded me of the Yamanaka mind invasion technique. Did you learn from them? That's a secret clan technique they will never pass to no one."
Asuma:" No, I develop my own mind invasion technique. It involves allot of Yin chakra control and focus. Been developing this technique for the past 4 years. I know getting information is one of the jobs of ninjas but is not like enemies would be willing to give it out so I develop this technique. I called it Mind Search jutsu." I said.
Hiruzen: "Are you planning to share/add that technique to the scroll of secrets?" he said to me in a inquiring look.
Asuma: " I don't know maybe in the future, but this technique requires to be good in genjutsu and Yin chakra control and incredible focus to use. So they requirements are big to even to pull it off."
Hiruzen: "Okay, so son, what do you want in exchange for the jutsus?" he said.
Asuma: " I want to learn the [Hirashin,ThunderGod] from Minato. Capable to travel long distances in seconds is incredibly a big cheat. I also want to learn the Kage Bushin no Jutsu. Finally I want to get my own summon, I want to have the contract for the Monkey's.
Hiruzen:" Done, I will have Minato to teach you the [Hirashin] you will have a week with Minato to learn the most you can. Doesn't matter if you can do the jutsu or not. I can give you the Kage Bushin, here have it once memorized burn this copy. For the summoning there is a problem. You can't summon Enma since he has a life contract with me till I die. So if you get it you will have to bond with a different monkey." he said to me.
Asuma: " Can't you just summon monkeys?"
Hiruzen: "No, the Monkey summon is only with 1 that will bond with you in your life time. Usually is the head like Enma but since he is already contracted to me you will have to summon somebody related to him."
Asuma:" I see, either way I want to sign the contract now."
My dad summon Enma and we signed the contract. He said that most likely his twin brother Uloong would be my contract partner since I was a sword user, and Uloong love to use bladed weapons, his talent was to transform into a Adamantium Saber.
I manage to get and memorize the Kage Bushin no jutsu and I was schedule to learn with Minato starting tomorrow at training ground 7. I also wanted to see if I could convince Minato to teach me his Rasengan since that jutsu was not in the scroll of secrets. I memorize th info from the scroll for the Thunder God,[Hirashin] but needed the actual training from somebody who knew how to do it.
I did about 15 clones to train in my other elemental jutsus, I wanted to be like my dad Hiruzen capable of doing all elemental jutsus with good proficiency. So I had 5 clones to train fire, 5 to train earth, and 5 to train lighting chakra manipulation/transformation. While the original me was training with Minato on the [Hirashin] while we train Minato bragged about his self made jutsu Rasengan which took him about 2 years to develop and 2 more to master it. He said he still had a long way since this was not his final product. He was willing to teach it to me since I showed interest in his technique.
By the end of the week I had train using allot of clones about 25 to try to train and learn the [Hirashin] I managed to pull it out about the end of the week.(this was only the original Hirashin) This took allot of chakra to pull but Minato said the more proficient I became with the technique the less chakra it would consume. He didn't teach me his signature improve version which he used the special sealing 3 pronged kunai's he used and told me I had to develop my own version since that was his own signature seal and depending on the person it would be different. I managed to pull the Rasengan in that 1 week and Minato told me I was even a bigger genius than him to learn it that fast. I told him it actually took me 3 days but I cheated showing him the (naruto rasengan version using Kage Bushin), he was mind blown since I gave him an idea on how to progress his technique to the next level which he said would be considered a SS -rank justsu in the future.(looks like he will actually finally develop the Wind Style: Rasen Shurinken before the war.)
