Kaito Chapter 84
"hey, it's not my fault that its super boring "Naruto pouted and rubbed the spot on his head where Kushina had bonked him.
Ignoring Naruto, Kushina turned to Kaito and eagerly asked, "So how did you do in the Chunin exams?" Excitedly, Kaito pulled out the pack of dango he had bought and replied, "come on, Mom. Let's go to the kitchen so I can tell you all about it."
Together, they made their way to the kitchen where Kaito proceeded to recount his experiences during the exams while enjoying their snacks.
…..
The afternoon sun shone brightly in the village hidden in the leafs. In the training ground where Kaito often frequented, explosions could be heard echoing through the trees as the ground shook from their force.
skidding back on the dirt as he faced the direction he had just come from. His face was drenched in sweat and his breaths came out in heavy pants.
In his hand, Kaito held a tanto, its blade crackling with red lightning that danced around it. Suddenly, a bolt of red lightning shot towards him from the same direction he was facing. Reacting quickly, Kaito formed a half-ram hand sign, calling out "Water Style Water Wall Jutsu!" As he spewed a stream of water, forming a wall of water in front of him just in time to block the incoming attack.
The fierce clash of their jutsu created a deafening explosion that reverberated through the earth. Kaito struggled to regain his balance as he was thrown off by the impact, only to be met with a sword narrowly missing his head. Reacting quickly, he bent his body and lashed out with his left leg, delivering a powerful kick to his opponent. The force behind it was enough to send them stumbling back several feet, giving Kaito a brief moment to catch his breath in the intense battle.
As Kaito was about to pursue his attacker another attack came at him from the right. The cry of "wind style vacuum spheres" as a massive sphere of wind hurtled towards him. But just as it reached him, Kaito seemed to phase through it and the attack collided with a nearby tree.
Above the attacker, Kaito reappeared and with is tanto drawn in one swift motion, ready to strike. But before he could, another tanto met his blade, blocking his attack. kaito locked eyes with the person wielding the other tanto, his shadow clone. Kaito was going all out facing off against four of his own shadow clones.
just as they clashed the clone that kaito attacked slashed back at kaito and the blade passed thought Kaito as he appeared behind both clone and kicked them towards another approaching clone.
the clone dodged the incoming clones and aimed a punch at Kaito's head. seeing the incoming punch, Kaito sealed the tanto away his tanto and caught the clone's punch. Using the clones momentum against it, he flipped the clone over and sent it flying into a nearby tree.
In that moment, another clone materialized from behind Kaito and aimed for a surprise attack. But Kaito leaned back and let the tanto pass harmlessly by. As his hand sparked with red lighting and a glowing red blade extended from his hand and pierced through the clone from behind, causing it to dissipate into white smoke.
just then the three other clones used body flicker technique to appear around Kaito, One materialized above him, another behind him, and the third to his right. Without hesitation, Kaito extended both hands and a wave of red lightning surged out from his body, pushing the clones backwards. The one nearest to him disappeared in a puff of white smoke while the other two were left struggling to regain their footing. Before they could mount any sort of counterattack, they were pierced by multiple red glowing senbons, and puffed into white smoke.
Kaito fell to one knee, panting heavily as exhaustion washed over him. "Damn, that was harder than I thought it would be," he muttered through gasps for air. With a heavy thud, he flopped onto the ground and took deep breaths to recover.
"It seems you have mastered those three jutsu," said Kakashi, walking into the torn up training field. He was dressed in his ANBU attire without his mask.
Turning his head towards Kakashi, Kaito replied tiredly, "You're late, Kakashi. By six hours."
Kakashi approached Kaito and handed him a bottle. "Well, I was needed by the Hokage," he explained.
Sitting up and accepting the bottle gratefully, Kaito asked between sips, "Thank you. Are you heading out on a mission?"
Kakashi nodded and replied solemnly, "Yes. My squad will leave tomorrow and I won't be back for two weeks"
Kaito hummed in understanding and said, "Well, good luck on your mission."
It had been around a week and a half since the second part of the Chunin exams had ended, marking the start of the month-long wait for the finals to begin. During this time, Kaito had spent every moment training with Kakashi, pushing himself beyond his limits. His shadow clones had also been busy recreating some of Sasuke's jutsu, including the Chidori Nagashi (Stream), Chidori Senbon, and Chidori Spear. With Kakashi's help, he managed to recreate them using his Red lightning as a base.
"So how's the progress coming along with the Rasengan?" asked Kakashi, standing over Kaito and offering him a hand up.
"No luck," Kaito sighed in frustration as he stood up, taking Kakashi's offered hand. "It's too unstable. I can't seem to infuse my nature transformation into the Rasengan without the help of a clone."
He ran a hand through his hair, exasperated. "I still don't understand how Dad was able to create and master the Elemental Rasengan one-handed in just a day."
Kaito had been trying tirelessly to master the Rasengan infused with his chakra nature transformation without relying on his shadow clones to stabilizing it. He had already succeeded in creating wind, water, and lightning release Rasengan's with their help, but when it came to doing it on his own, The technique was unstable and often resulted in explosive outcomes. It frustrated Kaito, especially knowing that it had only taken Minato a day to fully master the wind release Rasengan with one hand.
But he refused to let this setback defeat him. He was determined to master the technique on his own without any shortcuts or assistance from his shadow clones to accelerate the learning.
As Kakashi shook his head, he remarked "Well, sensei was said to be a genius among geniuses."
Kaito hummed in agreement and asked, "So did you just come to inform me that you won't be available for training?"
Kakashi nodded as they walked out of the training ground. "That, and since I won't be here to help you during the Chunin finals, I asked a friend to assist with your training while I'm away."
Curiosity sparked within Kaito as he asked, "Who is this friend?"
Kakashi's eye crinkled in an amused smile as he answered, "His name is Guy. He will meet you here tomorrow morning at our usual time. And fair warning, his training methods are intense."
Kaito's eyes widened at the mention of Guy's name, and he couldn't help but wonder how his taijutsu skills would compare to his.
They continued chatting as they made their way to Kaito's home. When they reached the Uzumaki residence, Kakashi stopped outside.
Seeing kakashi stopping, Kaito asked, "You're not staying for dinner?"
Kakashi shook his head and replied, "No, I have something to attend to, maybe some other time."
With a nod, Kaito said, "Then I'll see you at the finals."
Kakashi gave a small nod before body flickering away.
Once inside his home, Kaito spent time with his family before retiring for the night. He couldn't help but feel both nervous and excited about his upcoming training with Might Guy.
