The next morning while most of the village was asleep Kakoto walked out of the Village without any difficulty.
Most of the Anbus and elite shinobi were occupied with taking care of the mess that was created in Kakoto's fight against the Hokage so they were unable to patrol the village properly.
The only security that was in his way was the guards that were at the gate which he used Genjutsu on.
He takes a look at Konoha one last time before walking away.
He knew that the next time he came back to the village he was going to wage war on it.
He knew that if he wanted to kill Danzo he would need to either wait until he got out of the village or have enough strength to destroy the whole village which he still is not capable of yet.
--------------------------------
A week has passed.
"Lady Shizune. Where is Sakura? I can't seem to find her these days." A girl with platinum blonde hair girl asked.
"Oh. Ino it's been a while. Sakura is training with the Hokage sama. After the Hokage's mansion was attacked, Lady Tsunade is paying extra attention to Sakura's training." Shizune replied.
"I see." The platinum blonde-haired girl replied.
---------------------------
At the Konoha's hospital.
"Kakashi. Tell me. Is that person really that strong?" Guy asked Kakashi as he peeled an apple for him.
One of Kakashi's hands was injured to the point of being unusable in his fight with Kakoto.
So it was completely cut off. Even Tsunade was not able to heal Kakashi's arm.
"He gave no weakness that I could exploit. He is not only able to use jutsu without any hand signs but also possesses chakra control far beyond anyone I have seen." Kakashi said.
"When you say Anyone you mean....." Guy wanted to ask Kakashi something but it seemed like Kakashi also knew what he was about to ask.
"That also includes Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsuande." Kakashi continued.
"I see," Guy replied.
"But there is one strange thing. As weird as it may sound It doesn't seem like he is using his power to the fullest." Kakashi said to Guy.
Guy's face stiffened when he heard those words.
"Hey Kakashi. Would you have been able to defeat him if you were in your best condition?" Guy asked.
"I don't know," Kakashi replied as he looked outside the window.
He is not sure if he can defeat the boy even if he is using his Mangekyou ability.
But he knew that he had to start training again if he ever wanted to help the village in the upcoming years.
-----------------------------
At that time in a far away location.
"Hmm." A man with long spiky hair was reading a note while a bird rested on his shoulder.
He wore a forehead protector that said toad instead of a traditional headband that shows allegiance to one of the five shinobi villages.
His name was Jiraiya. He was accompanied by his young eager disciple, a blonde ninja from Konoha called Naruto.
"Pervy sage. What are you reading?" Naruto asked.
His face went from an expression that said this is interesting to an expression that said this is very problematic within seconds as he read the note.
"Sage mode user? This is bad." Jiraiya said.
"Pervy sage. What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto. I am going back to the village. Something important has come up." Jiraiya said to Naruto.
"Huh? Then what about my training?" Naruto asked.
"Hmmm. Ah. I know what to do." Jiraiya said as he put down a scroll on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu." He said as he summoned two small toads.
A purple one and a green one.
"What's wrong lad?" A female purple toad with curly hair asked.
"Boss. Can you take him to Mount Myobuku and train him? There is a huge problem that I currently need to take care of." Jiraiya asked.
"Hmm. His appearance seems to resemble that of Minato boy." The purple toad asked.
"Minato. Who is that?" Naruto asked.
"More importantly who are you two?" Naruto asked the two toads. But no one answered his question.
"But why are you leaving him with us? There is no reason for us to take care of your pupil, is there?" The male green toad asked.
"Boss. I would train him myself if I could. But there is a huge problem in Konoha. Tsunade said that the leaf was attacked by someone who could use sage mode." Jiraiya said.
"The leaf was attacked," Naruto yelled but Jiraiya and the two toads ignored him and continued their conversation.
"I want to go back to Konoha and investigate it," Jiraiya said.
"Sage mode. I thought you and Minato were the only two who could use it in recent years."The green toad replied.
"If what she said is right then it must mean that it has to do with those snakes." The purple toad said to the green toad.
"I want to discuss that with you two but I don't have much time. So boss, If you excuse me I will be going," Jiraiya said as he ran away from Naruto and the two toads.
"Don't worry Naruto. I will come back immediately after I finish my business." Jiraiya said to Naruto.
"Hey, pervy sage. You said the leaf was attacked right? Take me with you." Naruto tried to go after him but he was stopped by the two toads.
"Minato's son you are staying here." The purple toad said.
"Hey, why are you two getting in my way? And why is Pervy Sage so polite to you two ugly toads." Naruto asked.
"Ugly toads?" The purple frog and green frog said in shock.
---------------------------
In a faraway place from Konoha.
Kakoto stopped as he sat down and leaned on a tree.
"It seems that my actions at least bore fruits." He said.
He learned many jutsu while scanning through scrolls in the Hokage's mansion.
Those include the original Flying Raijin, the Reaper death seal, transformation jutsu: Adamantine staff, Adamantine sealing chains, Chidori, Earth release swamp of the underworld, Five-element seal, Five-elements unseal, Four red yang formation, camouflage jutsu, multiplying explosive tags, Mystic palm, Rasengan, summoning Rashomon, dual Rashomon, triple Rashomon, quintuple Rashomon, Telescope technique, the temple of nirvana technique, wound destruction technique, Flying swallow, poison mist, the long sword of the sky, crow clone technique, heal bite, Yin seal release, shadow clone technique, multi shadow clone technique, eight gates and other clan-related hidden jutsus such as shadow possession techniques from Nara clan, gentle fist from Hyuga clan and wood release from Senju clan.
But there were a few jutsus that Kakoto wasn't able to obtain because of Tsuande's interruption, some of them include the Yamanaka clan techniques, Akimichi clan techniques and Aburame clan techniques.
But he was still content. After all, just knowing how a jutsu or a technique is performed is not sufficient to put it in your fighting style.
The jutsu or technique should still be compatible with your fighting style or immensely powerful enough to bypass the fighting style requirement.
"Let's see if I write like this the flying Raijin formula should work." He said as he curved two Kanji that said Fast transition(Kōsoku toranzakushon) on a wooden tree.
The letters started to light up before becoming black.
He walked a few steps backward and then tried to activate his newly curved marking.
"Flying Raijin." He said as he teleported a few steps forward by entering a void before appearing near the marked location.
Kakoto was surprised by the result.
He knew it would be a great technique because he got it from a scroll that was made of high-quality materials.
But he did not expect it to be that good. It was a technique that could be incorporated into any type of fighting style.
However, he then realized that he still needed to practice the technique more as he found out that he teleported without his clothes.
This happens because while he was trying out that technique he was trying to minimize the chakra used in the technique.
Flying Raijin is a technique that allows the user to teleport anything as long as the user is willing to use chakra which is directly proportional to the thing that the user wants to teleport.
"Hmm. I wonder..." An idea popped into his head so he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Then he controlled his chakra to create the flying Raijin mark near a rock that was a little far away from him.
He then tried to teleport himself by using the flying Raijin mark that he created using the Mangekyou Sharingan.
It was a success. Not only that he was able to teleport but the mark on the rock also stayed after teleporting.
Then he tries to create a flying Raijin mark in the air and then teleport to it.
It was successful. However, this time the mark in the air disappears after a few seconds.
He tried to make another teleportation using flying Raijin. This time the mark was made of small chakra particles that were only visible to those who have powerful dojutsu or transformation that enhances their eyesight.
It was also a success. However, it was not a complete success as immediately after using flying Raijin the mark disappeared.
"Flying Raijin. If I fully master this technique it might be even better than the sage mode techniques that I learned from the great snake sage." Kakoto said.
"I can't use the Reaper death seal since it will take away parts of my soul if I try to use it. I should skip it and try the next one. Let's see the next jutsu is..." He said as he started to do hand signs.
"Summoning jutsu. Rashomon gate." He said as he summoned a huge gate that had the face of an oni directly in front of him.
"This looks like a big wall," Kakoto said.
Then he used a lighting blade that he learned from Kakashi to try and pierce the wall to check the durability.
There were only a few scratches on the gate that stood tall.
Kakoto wanted to know how durable the gate really was. Kakoto wanted to use his most powerful jutsu to see if the gate broke but he stopped himself.
Knowing that he should reserve his chakra to try out the other jutsu first.
He can always check the durability of the Rashmongate later.
"Hmm. This would be a good defensive technique. But it would also be a pain to use in normal situations since the size is too big." He said.
Then he continued to test one technique after another, only skipping the ones that might be a huge risk to his body.
----------------------------
In an isolated location.
"Have you found the location of the nine-tail kid?" A man with white eyes that have numerous concentric circles in it asked.
His appearance was covered in darkness so apart from his having a normal slim body and spiky hair no distinguishable features could be determined.
He was accompanied by a woman with light purple hair who had piercings under her mouth.
"My informant told me He was taken out of the village by one of the legendary Sannin" A man with dark hair replied.
"Is it the infamous traitor?." A man with a blond ponytail who was covering one of his eyes asked.
"It's unlikely. I heard that he got his hands on a new toy not long ago. However, if it was him I would personally go after him." A handsome red-haired man said.
"It's Lord Jiraiya." the black hair man said.
The woman with the light purple hair gives a strange reaction when she hears those words.
"If he was with that kid it would be troublesome to go after that kid." a man with strange skin who was carrying a big sword wrapped in bandages said.
"I wonder how much money the head of a Sanin will fetch." A man with grey hair who holding a scythe and a tall man was wearing a mask over his lower face and a grey hood said.
They are the Akatsuki. With each member being strong enough to rival even the Kages of the five great shinobi villages.
--------------------------------
After living for fourteen years Kakoto finally figured out the feeling of not being able to perform a jutsu.
The jutsu that he was not able to use was not a kekkei genkai or kekkei mora. It also was not a jutsu that the user needed more than one person to perform.
It was a shadow clone technique.
The shadow clone that Kakoto created immediately disappeared.
It was because when he created a clone using the shadow clone jutsu the Sharingan of the clone started to become unstable and destroy the clone's fragile body immediately.
It does not only end with a Shadow clone as he also was not able to create Crow clones, water clones and even mist clones.
The way that most clone techniques work is that the user has to divide some of their chakra into a catalyst that he is going to use for the clones.
The divided chakra is then put into the catalyst which becomes the clone.
The clone uses the chakra to think, talk, move around and fight.
And when the clone is destroyed some of the chakra that was put into the clone comes back to the user.
The reason why Kakoto cannot make any clones is because the power Kakoto possessed was too great to be able to be divided into clones.
After all, infinity cannot be divided by two.
"I guess I have to continue to use Yormungandr to act as a distraction," Kakoto said as he sighed.
He was able to create a body for a clone using the wooden clone jutsu but it was unable to move and acts like a wooden statue instead of a clone that can move around and fight.
No matter what he did he was unable to use the clone jutsu so he finally gave up.
