Naruto: Scrolls of the Dragonborn

As Mangetsu walks away, his brows begin to furrow. Even though he is a Genin, he doesn't have enough chakra to make six water dragons. So how does a four-year-old kid have enough? Glancing over his shoulder at Zitsukani, he shakes his head. Gripping his sword, he begins practicing more seriously than before.

It takes an hour and a half for Zitsu to regain his chakra. As he opens his eyes, he sees the other four kids still trying to practice water walking. Without even the basics of wall walking, it will take them some time. Drawing his sword, he rises to his feet.

Thinking about how Mangetsu's sword was able to plunge him into the water, he begins to swing his sword. After a few swings, he realizes that his sword has no power. Unless he's aiming for death by a thousand cuts, his sword is useless. But trying to add strength to his sword wrecks his chakra flow and form.

As he swings his sword, he glances at Mangetsu and copies his movements. After a few swings, he feels something move in his body. Performing the same movements again, he focuses on his body. Suddenly, as he swings his sword, he can feel chakra begin to travel from his core, up his chest, into his shoulder, down his arm, and finally into his sword as he completes the swing.

His eyes open wide at his new discovery. As the chakra travels along that pathway, every bit of his body's power is transferred into the sword. What he was doing before was just swinging the sword, but this is putting all your body into the sword. Using just your arms to transmit power is a joke!

A broad smile forms on his face. Of all the moves he copied from Mangetsu, only this diagonal slash gave him this feeling. On earth, the only thing he was good at was being a fan of Naruto, but that took him to incredible places. If the only thing you can do is be a Naruto fan, then be the best Naruto fan there is. And if the only thing he can do is a diagonal slash, then he will become the best at it.

Taking a breath, he begins repeating the move over and over. As he does, he realizes the more chakra he puts in, the stronger it will become. But if he puts in too much right now, he loses control and breaks his form. As his strength increases in the future, so will this swing.

Mangetsu finds it hard to hide his shock. He noticed the kid copying his moves but never thought he would learn it. This kid is a freak! Glancing at the other four kids, he calms down. Looking at the kid, he decides that he needs to talk to his trainer. This kid is too talented.

After five hours of resting and practicing, Zitsu sits in the water with a smile on his face. Closing his eyes, he looks at his stats.

Level 4

[Health 110]

[Chakra 252/265]

[Stamina 106/125]

[30 Points]

[Taijutsu 4, Ninjutsu 6, Genjutsu 0]

[Ninjutsu cost reduced by 6%]

Satisfied, he rises to his feet to continue practicing, but suddenly, three people walk in. Looking over, he sees Unkei, Dayu, and Mei.

"Everyone, time for Ninjutsu training. Step outside," Mei's voice rings throughout the building.

The three then turn around and leave.

Sheathing his katana, he begins to walk towards the door. Being the furthest, he is the last to exit. Arriving outside, he stands next to the kids.

Seeing Zitsu arrive, Mei opens her mouth. 'The Mizukage can't come here and teach you personally, so Dayu will fill in.'

'Hey,' Dayu waves his hand, his face a little downcast.

Mei claps her hands. 'Ok, break into your groups and do your own thing.' Looking at Cho and Zitsu, she walks off.

Following after her, they walk a good distance away from everyone else. The only thing on this big plateau is the training ground and apartment, so there is a lot of space.

'How's training been for you guys?' Mei looks at the two.

'Zitsu is awesome! His sword goes zoom zoom! He makes monsters out of the water and makes them go swoosh!' Cho's arms start swinging everywhere as he tries his best to explain.

Mei's brows rise in confusion. She saw him standing in the water, but she expected that since she saw him spinning the card. But she has no idea what else he is talking about. With a pleading look, she turns towards Zitsu.

Feeling her gaze, Zitsu shrugs. 'I know Water Dragon Jutsu.'

Hearing this, Mei freezes for a second. 'You just happen to know a B-ranked jutsu?' She squints her eyes at him. 'What else do you know?'

Zitsu thinks for a second before making a tiger hand seal. 'Water Clone Jutsu.' As he finishes his words, he spits water from his mouth, and it turns into a clone of himself, sword and all.

[Chakra 244/265]

Seeing this, Mei smacks her lips. 'That's it?'

'Yes, that's it,' Zitsu nods his head. As he does, the water clone collapses into a puddle.

She stares at him for a second before shaking her head. 'In two days, it will be time for graduation at the academy. All who pass will become Genin and receive their Jonin instructors.'

Zitsu instantly frowns. 'If you're trying to get rid of me, I'd rather stay here.'

'Stupid, why would I get rid of someone I'm training? But if you become a Genin, I can take you on my missions.' A smile forms on her face as she finishes her words.

Zitsu's eyes light up as he hears her words. 'Ok, I'll go!'

'Good, but for now, sit down. I have things to teach you both.'

'Ok' x2

Before she can speak, Mangetsu walks over. Standing right next to Zitsu, he points at his head. 'This kid is talented. Being trapped here is a waste of his future.'

Mei looks at him and raises her brows. For a genius of the sword to say someone is talented, how good must he be? Nodding her head for a second, she opens her mouth. 'You did an excellent job, Mangetsu. I'll see if I can get your punishment lifted and find a replacement for this project.'

'Thanks a lot, Mei-sensei!' He bows slightly and turns to leave the plateau. Even though he's smiling, his shark teeth make him look sinister.

Mei followed him with her eyes before turning back to Cho and Zitsu.

"Okay, where was I? Right. Chakra is the energy inside you. It's broken down into two parts: physical and spiritual. The spiritual part can be trained through the use of jutsu or chakra control. Physical, as the name suggests, is increased by strengthening your body. Do you both understand?" She glanced between them.

Both nodded their heads, with Cho's eyes sparkling.

"Good. To perform jutsu, you have to perform hand seals. Hand seals help you mold chakra to perform the corresponding jutsu." She paused and looked at Zitsu. "But hand seals aren't essential. All they do is assist you. If you're good at nature transformation and shape control, a jutsu that requires forty-four hand seals can be reduced down to one." A smile formed on her face as she looked back towards Cho. "But that's too advanced for now."

"What I'm going to show you now are the seals for the Transformation Jutsu." Her hands began to form seals. "Dog Boar Ram, Transformation Jutsu."

As she finished, she was surrounded by a puff of smoke and turned into Mangetsu. Holding up two fingers, she reverted back.

"As you can see, it's simple. You guys give it a try."

Cho jumped to his feet and formed the seals. "Transformation Jutsu!" He was surrounded by a puff of smoke and turned into a strange version of Zitsu, with all of his body parts rectangular.

"A good first attempt," Mei nodded her head as she turned to Zitsu.

Smacking his lips, he made the hand seals. "Transformation Jutsu." After the smoke cleared, the figure of Kisame stood there.

Mei's eyes narrowed. "Only know two jutsu?"

Kisame shrugged his shoulders. "It's my first time using the Transformation Jutsu, I swear." Zitsu's voice came from Kisame's body.

Mei waved her hand. "Whatever. To release the jutsu, you just have to stop supplying chakra."

Both of them held up two fingers and were surrounded by a puff of smoke as they turned back.

"Now, practice the Transformation Jutsu to increase your chakra control."

Nodding their heads, they began to practice. After a few hours, the sun began to set.

Mei nodded her head. Zitsu's transformations were almost perfect, so the last hour he spent his time training by rotating his chakra. Looking at the setting sun, she opened her mouth.

"I see you guys are already learning water walking. Keep it up as it's good practice. I mostly came here to check your progress today and explain the basics." She stopped and looked at Zitsu. "I'll be back in two days to take you for the test." She looked at Chojuro. "Keep it up. You are making steady progress." Nodding her head, she held up two fingers and disappeared.

Cho and Zitsu looked at each other for a moment.

"Let's go home," Zitsu began walking back to the apartments, his left arm resting on the sheath. Because he's short, the sheath stuck out pretty far to the left.

Seeing him walk away, Cho followed with his spirits high from doing his first jutsu.

As they started walking, everyone else finished too, and they formed a small gang of five with Zitsu in the middle as they approached the apartments.
