Chereads / Naruto: the cat shinobi / Chapter 40 - Matatabi

Chapter 40 - Matatabi

After killing the octopus, we got off the ship, looked around, until we saw a blond-haired Kunoichi, who approaches us, but for some strange reason continues to observe me with a strange look.

Then I see her look away from me, to start talking "welcome friends of Konoha, I'm Yugito, which one of you is Naruto?"

Naruto steps forward and says "it's me"

After watching him for a while, he says "fine, come with me, let's start your training immediately, we don't have to waste time"

And so, we walk towards a waterfall.  Well, they walk, while I lie on Yamato's head.  I didn't go to Naruto, because he's too close to Yugito, and I don't know why, but when I'm close to her, I feel like someone is watching me.

Once we get to the waterfall, because, I already know what will happen, I don't want to stand and watch while he trains, and I don't do anything "Yugito, is there a place where I can train?"

She turns to me, but then I see her make a strange face, which returns to normal immediately after "yes of course, I'll let you accompany" she says making a clone, who smiles at me, and says "follow me, I'll show you where she is"

After a minute of hesitation, I decide to follow it, even if I think there is something that does not come back to me, it does not seem like the original.  But then, even some clones of Naruto seem to have some different personalities, from the original, it will be for this.

After a long journey, after passing some small hills and ferocious animals, we finally arrive in a huge expanse of grass, in the distance you can also see a small stream with pink lotus flowers floating on it.

"Thanks Yugito, now you can go" I say after observing the beautiful landscape a little longer

Not hearing the classic "poof" of a disappearing clone, I turn around and see her still standing there with a smile

"Can I train with you?"  She says smiling, before with a "poof" I see her change shape from Yugito to what looks like a tiger with blue flames, about twenty five centimeters high.

"THING!!!!"  I say with my mouth open, seeing a Matatabi chibi in front of me

"Nice to meet you Raijin, I'm Matatabi, I asked Yugito to lend me a clone, so that I can train with you.  So what do you say? "

Well, it doesn't happen every day to train with a biju, and a feline biju with many years of experience behind it.

"I don't see why I should refuse" I say after a little silence

"Yeah… So let's get started," she says with a smile on her face

Then I see her start running towards me as she attacks me with her claws made of blue flame.  I decide not to dodge, but also to use my claws, to defend myself, but instead of fire, I use lightning.

The two attacks collide, and with a "Boom" due to the shock wave, we are both repulsed about ten meters away.

I have a little trouble getting up, but then as I turn my gaze to her, I see her preparing a Bijudama.

I could dodge, but that would be too easy, so I start forming a Thunder Bolt, which I quickly cast, before her Bijudama reaches me.

The two moves collide and seem to be on par, but with my lightning control, I decide to hit her Bijudama, in the lower part, so I can send her upwards, where it explodes.  As the Thunder Bolt explodes downward, creating a cloud of smoke.

I don't waste time and throw a Thunder Shock at her, but I see it collide with a blue blaze, in mid-air.

"I can't fight anymore, if we continue like this, the clone will disappear.  How about we stop here for today? "  I hear it said on the other side of the crater created by our techniques.

"Okay, I was going to stop here anyway.  And to do a different workout "I say sitting up

I see her approach me, as she smiles, puts a paw on her shoulder, and she says "see you later" and disappears in a "poof"

Well, it was nice, but now I have to train.

While I'm staying here, I have to be able to completely elementary my body, so I'll have an ace up my sleeve against Obito, and God forbid, Madara.  And it is precisely for the latter that I have to carry on training that technique.  I promised not to, but I have no choice left, to be able to defeat Madara is the only thing I can bet on.

"Well, it's time to train!"  I tell myself

"YES!  Let's train! "  Matatabi says behind me

"What are you doing here? You weren't gone?"  I say with surprise

"Yes, but I missed you, so I asked Yugito for another clone, and here I am" she says with a smile

Damn, he's not going to go as smoothly as I thought
