Naruto felt nostalgic standing outside the floating palace and waiting for his teacher to receive him. It's not like he wasn't allowed inside, It's just the security barriers Naruto took notice of and waited for him to come outside.
Soon enough, Daishinkan appears outside, his hands crossed behind his back and looking elegant as ever. No, nothing seems to change about the man before him. Naruto smiles. "Sup, sensei"
Daishinkan smiles. "Naruto, Finally decided to meet me now huh?"
Naruto sweats, he stretches his cheek, a nervous habit.."uhm, sorry?"
"Sorry? Is that all you can say after so long? Do you know how displeased Grand Zeno is?"
"I made it up to him...But you tell me sensei how can I make it up to you?"
Daishinkan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You think you can make it up to me?"
Naruto nods furiously. "I do anything!"
With a sadistic smile, Daishinkan says "Go on a date with my daughter, Marcarita"
Naruto looks like someone knocked the air out of him, He stares at the angel in disbelief and horror. "You...You could have just said to do push ups or exercise! Don't throw me at her!"
"Oh? Is the mighty Uzumaki scared of a girl?"
"With all due respect she's sane evil... Please don't throw me at the devil!"
"Mmmh"
"I make you brownies"
Damn it, Daishinkan closed his eyes. He has weaknesses for brownies and Naruto makes the best of them. "Fine" He opens his eyes and looks at the blonde. "It better be tasty"
Naruto gives him a thumbs up. "I go and make them right away!"
Daishinkan shook his head. "Not now. As much as I want to eat your dishes. We have bigger problems"
Naruto frowns. "Ah yeah, About the rogue Angel...or was it a Fallen angel?"
Daishinkan waved his hand. "Brass. His name is Brass. The timing of his arrival isn't written there. I have alerted all my angels and gods are on standby. We don't know which place or time he will attack. I want to train you, Naruto"
"Sensei..." Naruto knew what the angel was trying to do. "I can't..."
"Why can't you? You are our hope, child"
"You can handle him yourself can't you?"
"If it were easy I wouldn't have asked for your cooperation...If Grand Zeno finds out, Who knows what will happen. Brass isn't a patience one...And we have Two Zeno's at the moment"
Naruto shrugs. "Curse Goku...I can't believe we have two of them here. I don't mind them at all but you are right... anything can go south and Grand Zeno won't listen to reasoning"
"Indeed. That is why I am requesting you...Would you accept my offer?"
"I...I don't know sensei...I am very stuck right now. I am sorry if I am being a childish brat"
Daishinkan smiles. "No, I wouldn't mind you refusing...I believe Son Goku might be able to help along with other fighters from universes...But Brass isn't someone that can easily be dealt with"
"I understand...Please allow me to think about this carefully...After all...it is my life"
"Of course, I wouldn't force you into this...Anyway would you like to come inside and make me brownies?"
Naruto snorted. "I thought we didn't have time for that?"
Daishinkan smirks. "For brownies I can make up time for that"
Naruto laughs.
///////////////////////
Perhaps it was calm before the storm.
It's been a month, Ninja's got used to their living land on the island and built their houses with the help of Hashirama and Yamato, Both used Wood release and houses were made.
Naruto spoke with Kurama about the offer Daishinkan had made to him years ago, Kurama listens to Naruto's frustration and problems he's having right now. Frankly, It is about time Naruto thinks about himself other than about others.
Kurama was proud of Naruto's decision, Although he's still against it but maybe just maybe it could be a great opportunity for him. Not only that, With Grand Priest and others backing him up, Naruto believes he can do this.
He went to Zeno Palace and spoke to Daishinkan who was delightful and took him inside where they began their training.
"Kurama, Have you seen Naruto?"
Kurama who's talking to Jiraiya turns around to find Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi. "Oh it's you guys...what do you want?"
Kakashi closed his book. "Where is Naruto? We have been trying to contact him for a while now"
Sakura looks concerned. "Is he okay? Is it his health again?"
Sasuke frowns.
Kurama gotta admit, these guys look the same around the time when Fourth war shinobi and Sasuke have an arm this time unlike Naruto who still has Senju cells made of arm for himself. With Rinnegan, He should have regenerated, Of course he likes to keep it like this.
"Yeah, I haven't seen my godson for a while now. Even Uzumaki are being shush shush" Jiraiya rubs his chin. "Is something going on?"
Kurama shrugs. "I don't know about the Uzumaki clan...I do, however , know about Naruto. He's training with his teacher, Grand Priest and won't be back until he makes some progress"
"What kind of training?"
"You see, Pinkie. Anyway, will you finish with your training?"
All three smiled or smirked. "Yup, it's going very well," Kakashi cheerfully stated. "I loved learning about Ki and how we can bend it to our will like Chakra"
Kurama rolls his eyes. "Oh wow, like I didn't know" He looks at Sakura. "What about you?"
"Like Hashirama, All of us trained with Ki users a long time ago. At the time, I didn't bother to master this Ki..." Sakura crosses her arms against her chest. "It did, however , help me with my strength and store my energy for emergencies...Ki is more comfortable than the chakra now that I think about it. The only difference is that Chakra is a manipulation of Fire, Water, Wind, Lighting and Earth...Ki is more different since it can't do any of those things like our chakra does"
"Yes, I didn't need the whole lecture. Yes or no should've been better, Pinkie," Kurama looks at Sasuke. "What about you?"
Sasuke rests his hand on the hilt of his sword. "I learned some tricks using my sword...And increase my speed...I also am good at Ki too"
"Not surprised there. You three should take part in missions for time patrollers to get used to your ability" Kurama yawns. "I am gonna take a nap, see you guys later"
Sakura blinks. "Hold on, Aren't you gonna do something?"
"Besides napping? Mmm, Good question, I go and harass that cutie doll first before heading to my bed. Great idea, Pinkie!"
"Ehh?! What?!"
"Bye bye!"
"Wait! Hold on!!"
Kakashi chuckles. "Come on, Sasuke, Sakura let's go and train once more"
"I join you guys" Jiraiya says. "Got nothing to do now"
"Didn't you open the store?"
"Tsunade didn't appreciate that store and broke it down"
Sakura laughs. "That's my lady!"
Sasuke shakes his head and walks off, Kakashi pouts seeing he won't be able to read Jiraiya's new novels until the store is placed and follows after Sasuke. Sakura and Jiraiya follow after them.
