Naruto All Knowing

Chapter 10: The Light, the Darkness and the Void



"Focus. Your chakra pool is unrefined and lacks control. You won't be able to learn any of Jiraiya's techniques if you can't control your chakra." The green toad called Pa said.

"Grrr." Naruto was making a Rasengan in his hand as he was being scolded by Pa.

"Try to slowly increase the amount of Chakra in your jutsu. Don't rush to get the results immediately." A purple toad named Ma said.

The amount of chakra that was inside the Rasengan increased as the Rasengan grew bigger.

"Haaaa. Great ball Rasengan." Naruto said as he ran towards a nearby rock pillar to slam his Rasengan which was around 1/4 of his total height.

It put a huge dent in the rock but it didn't blow it up into numerous small pieces even though it used a large amount of chakra.

"I did it. I used the great ball Rasengan." Naruto said.

However, he was hit in the head with a stick by Pa.

"What was that for?" Naruto yelled at Pa.

"You didn't finish setting up your jutsu. You have to spin it more to maximize its destructive power." Pa shouted at Naruto.

"Do it again," Pa said to Naruto.

Naruto continued his training.

He is progressing very fast. If I Compare him to Jiraiya Boy he can be considered very talented. Pa thought in his mind.

He was able to visualise a path that Naruto was starting to forge.

"I will show you what I can do. All I have to do is spin it a little more right. Take this. Great ball Rasengan," Naruto said as he slammed a perfected great ball Rasengan this time completely blowing up the rock into numerous pieces.

"How about now," Naruto said while smiling.

"Excellent. Now let's get to the next lesson." Pa said to Naruto.

"Already? But I just perfected the great ball Rasengan. Can't I rest for a while?" Naruto asked Ma and Pa.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you say you want to become stronger so that you can save your friend? Do you think you will become strong enough to rival Orochimaru's protege if you slack off after putting in a little bit of effort? Do you?" Pa asked Naruto.

"Naruto boy. I heard that the person who attacked the village was a sage mode user. Meaning that a person is as strong if not stronger than Jiraiya Boy, your master." Ma said to Naruto.

"The village was attacked?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto boy do you think you can help Jiraiya boy if someone as strong if not stronger than him is threatening his life," Ma asked Naruto.

"Get it now. Not only you are a person with a huge target on your back because of the Nine Tail fox inside you but now another party whose intentions are still unclear has popped up."

"So If you want to become the Hokage who can protect everyone you have to train hard. Harder than you have ever trained before so that no one can threaten you or your friends," Pa said to Naruto.

It seems that Naruto got Pa's message. He got up and started to stretch his body to continue his training.

"Now let's continue. I want to surprise Pervy Sage by becoming really strong when he returns." Naruto said.

-----------------------------

In a dark cave.

"Excellent Sasuke. You have already exceeded my expectations." A man with white skin and yellow eyes said as he clapped his hands.

His name was Orochimaru. The man who killed the Third Hokage and a traitor from the leaf village.

"Lord Orochimaru. Do you think letting him become strong in such a short amount of time is a great idea? What if he decided to go back on his words." A white hair man who looked like he was in his twenties was standing next to Orochimaru asked.

His name was Kabuto and he was Orochimaru's right-hand man.

"Do you know what the curse mark can do?" Orochimaru asked Kabuto.

"It's supposed to replace his chakra with lord Orochimaru's chakra. But do my lord think it's going to be enough." Kabuto asked.

"Sasuke was gifted. But he still has a long way to go compared to Itachi. Even if he managed to surpass me I doubt he would be able to defeat Itachi on his own without the power that I gifted him." Orochimaru said.

"And he knows about it." He said while smiling.

"If I were him I would only start to rebel after Itachi has been taken care of. The most ideal situation is for me to take over his body after he kills Itachi and loses his sole purpose for existence." Orochimaru said.

"I just hope this body would be able to last that long," Orochimaru said as he looked at a boy with three tomoe Sharingan who was standing near the corpus of a ninja wearing a headband that showed his association to the sound village.

A village that is associated with Orochimaru.

That boy was Sasuke Uchiha. A member of a Uchiha clan whose sole reason for survival was to kill Itachi.

The brother that he was related to by blood and the man who he thought ruined his life.

"More. I still need more power." He said.

"Sasuke. How was your training going? Are you satisfied with your progress?" Orochimaru said to Sasuke as he walked towards him.

"Bring out my next opponent," Sasuke said to Orochimaru.

"Impressive work ethic, Sasuke Kun. But I would recommend to rest your body. After all a good rest is important if you want to become stronger." Orochimaru said to Sasuke.

Sasuke doesn't seem convinced.

"Putting your body under a lot of stress can damage it permanently and can hinder your development," Orochimaru said to Sasuke.

"Then I will do as you say," Sasuke replied with a cold tone.

Compared to Naruto who is filled with enthusiasm Sasuke's voice feels like he is devoid of hope.

The only thing that he thought he had in his mind was revenge.

However, there was a difference between Sasuke and Kakoto.

It's that Kakoto has only revenge in his mind while Sasuke still unconsciously longs for his friends.

Sasuke still has a place to return to if he just gives up on revenge despite him and Orochimaru thinking otherwise while Kakoto has nothing to lose.

"Kabuto. Escort Sasuke to his room." Orochimaru said.

"Yes, lord Orochimaru," Kabuto replied.

-----------------------------

In a faraway place, the middle of the forest.

Kakoto was meditating.

As he meditated he sent most of his chakra towards his forehead area. Creating a black rhombus marking on his forehead.

The marking was supposed to be blue as the seal that Kakoto was trying to create is supposed to be based on the one Tsunade has.

But the mark on Tsunade's forehead was not just storage for reserved chakra but also connected to her summoning, Lady Katsuya.

The summon which Kakoto does not have access to, causes his mark to come out differently compared to Tsunade's seal.

"Ha," He then got up and tried to reinforce his body using the black mark.

Dark lines started to sprout from the mark covering his whole body.

He looked at the dorsal side of his right hand and noticed that there was a tringle cube-sized skin not covered by the black line. It looked like it was purposely left out.

It was the same on his left hand which had a circle shape mark.

He then tried to make an air fist but there was no notable result.

It seems like something was lacking with this transformation. Kakoto thought.

"Hmm. I wonder what it is." He thought for a while.

Buy nothing came into his mind.

He certainly got stronger physically when he used the markings but the problem is that the difference before transformation and after transformation is too minimal.

"Something is missing here," Kakoto said.

"Hmmm." He tried to think of a way to perfect his new ability but nothing came up in his mind.

Since he was using a transformation that he didn't know on his own body and the fact that the problem with the transformation was not something that could be visualized he was not able to identify the problem.

Then suddenly the phrase that he heard while he was training at the Ryuchi Cave popped back up in his mind.

"Orochimaru," Kakoto said.

He heard that Orochimaru was some sort of a prodigy and was one of the three legendary sannins.

The current Hokage was also one of the Sannins.

Which means he worked alongside her.

If there is someone who could find out what is wrong with the jutsu he tried to copy from the Hokage other than the Hokage herself it was him.

But he does not know where to find Orochimaru.

And he does not want to go back to the leaf to gather intel again.

So he decided on the next best thing.

He can figure out where Orochimaru is by gathering intel from a village called the village hidden in the grass.

A small Shinobi village that is allied to Konoha.

It was also allied with the village that Orochimaru led a few years ago called the Village Hidden in the Sound.

He would have directly gone to the village hidden in the sound but trying to gather intel about Orochimaru from the village he has full control over is going to be a chore so he decided on the village hidden in the grass.

-------------------------

In Konoha.

"You have been assigned to track down the rouge Ninja that attacked the village," Tsunade said to a group of ninjas.

The group was made up of two different genin teams from Konoha.

Team 11 which was led by Kurenai, a jonin.

The team consist of three genin. They are Kiba, Hinata and Shino.

Team 3 which was led by Guy.

The team also consists of three genins. Lee, Tenten and Neji.

"And you will be accompanied by Jiraiya and Kakashi," Tsunade said as Jiraiya and Kakashi showed up in front of the two groups.

"Kakashi? You are coming too. Don't you need to rest more?" Guy asked.

"I am fine now. And since you and lord Jiraiya are going to be with me I don't think I need to fight in this mission at all." Kakashi said.

"The only reason why I decided to put Kakashi into this mission is for his tracking abilities," Tsunade said.

When Kurunei heard those words then she realized why team 3 and team 11 were chosen respectively.

It's because Tsuande wanted to use Kiba, Shino, Neji and Hinata to track down the unknown ninja.

"And I will lead the team," Jiraiya said.

"Are there any complaints?" Tsunade asked.

No one objected. Since even if the 5th Hokage was in the same team Jiraiya would still be a better choice for the team leader.

"Remember your mission was to locate the rouge ninja. Not to engage in battle with him. Try to get as much information about him." Tsunade said.

Even though the combined might of Jiraiya, Kakashi, Guy and even Kurunei were more than capable of bringing down even one of the most powerful shinobi, Tsuande asked them not to engage in battle.

This is to make sure that no one is harmed or dies in the mission.

She knew that there was a possibility that the version of the unknown ninja that she fought might not be his strongest state.

"Don't worry lady Tsunade. I swear I will protect everyone even if it cost my life." Guy said.

"Hey stop saying stuff like that. That's how you trigger a death flag." Kurunei said to Guy jokingly.

"What are you saying sensei? With Guy sensei and a Sanin helping us, there is no way we can fail our mission." Kiba said.

"That's the spirit," Guy said as he put his arm on the shoulder of Kiba and Shino.

"Let's do this," Lee shouted with fire in his eyes.

"Calm down," Tenten said to Lee.

"Jiraiya. Remember what I warned you." Tsunade said to Jiraiya.

"The unknown Ninja was in the scroll room. Meaning there is a chance he saw at least one forbidden jutsu." Tsunade warned Jiraiya for one last time before the team set off.

She watched as the team led by Jiraiya departed.

"Lady Tsunade. Is something wrong?" Shizune asked.

"I don't know why. But I have a bad feeling about this mission." Tsunade replied.
