19 Portable Training Room Set!

"What? Like, hold you up?" Itachi responded, "Yes like hold me up, so I don't fall through the clouds."

With all the jokes out of the way the two got to work, every once in a while Kibo would have to return to the ground to recover, during his first rest he saw that Naruto and Sasuke had beaten each other to a pulp, "Why won't you stay down!?" Sasuke yelled, Naruto hit Sasuke and they both fell to the ground. "I win this one!" Naruto said panting heavily "Not a chance dweeb!" Sasuke said trying to sit back up, but it was no use, "It's a draw, you can't move either!" Sasuke said panting.

"I got 41 hits, you got 40! I win!" Naruto said throwing his fist in the air, while Sasuke grumbled, "That just a technicality!" Naruto gave a triumphant 'humph!' as he said "Then I won by a technicality!"

Naruto didn't care it anymore he closed his eyes and raised his fist into the air as he shouted in his head, "I won in front of Hinata!" Naruto felt proud and a little confused, he didn't understand why it was so important for him to win in front of her, because he didn't know what he was feeling.

Sasuke on the other hand cried out in his mind, "I lost in front of Sakura!" Similar to Naruto, Sasuke didn't know why he wanted to save face in front of her, but the fact remained he didn't like letting her see him in a pathetic situation.

Kibo on the other hand knew why they were being so competitive with each other, he watched as Hinata and Sakura running up to their future lovers and laughed thinking that maybe this is what it meant to have soulmates. Hinata pulled out a jar of expensive medicine and Sakura had some herbs that she saved from medical class lessons. Karin walked up surprising Kibo and Itachi as she had used the Mystical Palm technique to start healing their wounds.

"Karin you can use the Mystical Palm!?" Kibo said a bit loudly, "Yes, my mom's been teaching me in her spare time. She said I had a talent for this technique." Kibo smiled as Sakura and Hinata asked if Karin could teach them as well. "Aww! Sure! I understand what it means to want to heal the guy you like." Karin's words made Sakura and Hinata blush, Kibo and Itachi laughed as they managed to overhear Karin's whispering.

Kibo looked around the training cave and then stared at the top most entrance. "I guess this place is just as good as any!" Kibo thought looking for the perfect spot to place down his training room. After heading up to the tallest cave entrance; Kibo placed his Portable Training Room down beside it. Two large double doors appeared and fused into the wall creating a huge flash of light. Everyone walked over to him because their attentions were drawn towards the commotion.

Now that they saw a door that wasn't there before they were puzzled. Kibo smiled while trying to come up with a lie, but in the end he just spoke the truth, while omitting some things. "It just suddenly appeared as I walked by!" Everyone looked at him suspiciously, "What I'm telling you the truth it just suddenly appeared." Seeing that he was sticking with his story they decided to just brush off the whole incident.

"Anyways I'm going in to check it out." Kibo opened the door and felt a cool breeze hit him in the face, compared to the heat outside the inside surprisingly at the perfect temperature for human habitation. There was a single hall leading into a large chamber with a massive dome shaped room;at the center of the space was a comfortable looking circular table and couch.Looking at the walls there were 4 doors that led to different training grounds. The first had the Kanji for Strength hanging over it, inside was a single caged arena, when one stepped inside it, the cage would generate a clone of the challenger and it would always be just a bit stronger than the host. However it was limited to Tai-Jutsu and weapon combat.

The Second door had the Kanji for Power written on it, inside was a lush garden bio-dome it was filled with the power of Chakra; one could perform endless experiments with their Nin-Jutsu here. The land also emitted a powerful Chakra restorative mist, so that they could practice longer. It didn't recover as fast as one could purposely expend their Chakra, but if they used a Jutsu here and waited a while they could recover enough to use it again.

The Third door had the Kanji for Mind on it, when they went inside they realized they had entered into a large and black empty void, when without warning they vanished from each other's sides. Each of them had entered a world of illusion, like a powerful Gen-Jutsu had been cast over them. However it was a training device, so it wouldn't give them a challenge they couldn't overcome. It scanned their levels of talent concerning Gen-Jutsu, and then put them in a world where they would have to escape it by noticing and dispelling the illusion.

Luckily Kibo and Naruto had their partners, with their help the Gen-Jutsu was dispelled only minutes after it formed. Kibo was surprised to see that Itachi had resisted the illusion but was more surprised by the change in his eye. Itachi had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, he wore an expression that showed he'd been in there allot longer than a few minutes. He was placed in a world that very much resembled the original time line, right up until he was forced by a stranger in a mask to kill the woman he loved. Only when he activated the Mangekyō did the illusion cease.

Itachi looked over to see the other's struggling, especially Sasuke, it looked like he was having a terrible nightmare when he opened his eyes showing a Sharingan with a single tomoe in it. He turned to see Itachi had broken out of it and smiled while thinking "That's my Nii-Chan!" When he saw Naruto and Kibo he was a little shocked, "I can understand Kibo because he's Nii Chan's friend, but even that Naruto got out before me!" For some reason Hinata passed out with a bright red face, the only ones left were Karin and Sakura, both who had quite the expressions on right now. Sakura's was a lot more innocent, but Karin's seemed to be a little perverse, "That's IT! I'm waking her up!" Sasuke, and Kibo said at the same time, both had red faces too.

They sent some Chakra into them to disrupt the illusion when Sakura said, "Here Sasuke I practiced cooking allot I know you'll like it. Now say Ahh!" Sasuke had steam coming out of his ears when he said "Sakura wake up!" After Sakura learned what had happened she placed her hands on her face and hid behind Itachi again.

Seeing this happened Kibo grew worried over what Karin might say as he placed his hands on Karin's shoulder and shook her while putting Chakra in to disrupt the Gen-Jutsu, she only got to "No you shouldn't kiss me th. . ." Before Kibo said, "One of these days, you and I are gonna have a talk about how you know about all this adult stuff." To which Karin replied by sheepishly hiding her face in her shirt.

Naruto carried Hinata out of the room, and closed the door, "Let's put Dangerous on this room, and only one should enter at a time." Kibo added looking at Karin and Sakura's embarrassed faces. When Hinata woke up she took one look at Naruto and passed out again. "It's even worse now!" Naruto added while catching her.

The last door had the Kanji for Health on it. They entered the room to discover a bath house that resembled an open air spring. There were artificial skies, and a dial on the entrance wall that could adjust the time of day. A wall separated the two sides into women's and men's sections. Kibo didn't waste any time as he headed into the males dressing room to take a bath, seeing him do so Itachi followed, then Sasuke, and Naruto.

Seeing that there seemed to they didn't sense any danger, and saw the boy's fearless attitudes, the girls too decided to indulged in a nice hot bath. While bathing, they all noticed the spring's restorative properties, the wounds they had slowly healed, and there stamina quickly returned. They even felt that any of the strain from the overuse of Jutsus, which often resulted in micro damage to their chakra channels, was slowly being repaired by the springs effects and making them even more robust.

"This is a great place!" Kibo said relaxing in the hot spring, when he noticed Naruto seemed to be scheming something. That's when Naruto turned around and whispered "Since where at a spring, we gotta do that thing." Sasuke seemed to have turned pale, and said "T. . That thing!?" Naruto shushed Sasuke and said, "Yea the grandpa Kage said if you visit a hot spring and don't do that! Then you're not a real man!"

Sasuke actually looked tempted when Kibo thought of the Tsukuyomi world version of Sasuke, "Don't tell me Sasuke's a closet pervert!" Kibo thought before saying, "You know if Naruto looks, he's gonna see Sakura." Sasuke flinched, when Itachi smiled and continued "And if Sasuke look's he's gonna see Hinata." Naruto and Sasuke sat in the water and relaxed with a defeated expression on their faces.

On the other side, Karin tried to get them to peak, but Hinata fainting at the thought ruined her plans. After their bath they all felt refreshed and ready to train again.

Meanwhile at an inconspicuous mountainous region, Orochimaru stood waiting for someone, he was carrying a locked case and small incubator that was around the size of a duffel bag, inside was the fetus from the earlier experiment. He was beginning to grow impatient when who he was waiting for finally arrived. The man was tall, and had long white hair that stopped below his hips. His eyes were blood red and his skin pale, he dressed in an over-sized high collared coat, with three leather straps wrapped around it. The mysterious man walked towards Orochimaru with a blank expression and said. "Sorry for the wait Orochimaru, I had to make sure you came alone!" The man spoke in a deep and raspy voice.

"Not a problem Hiruko! Though as fellow scientist of similar natures, I wish you would trust me a bit more!" Orochimaru said with a chilling voice, "Can you blame me, the last time I saw you the Hokage gave the order to all of the Sannin to kill me!" Orochimaru waved his finger while making a "tsk, tsk, tsk!" sound. "Hiruko things are different between the village and me now. We don't see things the same way, but you understand. I was kicked out of Konoha for a similar reason. You couldn't imagine how happy I was to get a letter from you old friend."

"Yes, I heard about that, and I only wrote to you because I heard you'd obtained something that interests me. Have you brought what I asked? I want both the bloodlines and your Mortal, Earth and Heaven Curse Mark." Hiruko said looking to the covered incubator. "Depends if you brought what I asked for." Orochimaru responded.

Hiruko threw him a thick scroll with the words Chimera Kin-Jutsu, after receiving it Hiruko asked, "Was this bloodline really able to blend the Uchiha's Sharingan rather than be born with one Do-Jutsu in each eye?"

"Yes something about the neutral energy of that particular kid's Hoshi bloodline is allowing the Sharingan and the Tengan to coexist. Although his deceased clansmen have incredible physiques they weren't able to produce a Tengan. The White Snakes Bloodline has been added to it, and the three scrolls on how to create the curse marks are in there as well." Orochimaru explained as he handed over the incubator.

"It's to be expected, he's the first of his mutation. You should try his mother! Perhaps she's carrying the gene to allow the birth of the new bloodline ability." Hiruko said checking the goods. After confirming the products were legitimate he placed the cover back on and began to walk away.

Before he left Orochimaru asked him a question about their recent exchanges "I take it you followed my advice by switching out your ritual for the markings, tell me how well did the technique work on the sacrifices I sent you?"

"My subordinate's thank you for their new found powers." Hiruko said as he continued to leave.

"When can I hear from you again?" Orochimaru asked, "13 or 14 years should be enough time." He commented as he dissipated in a flash of smoke.

Kibo was flying while holding on to Itachi, as he once again after numerous failures attempted to walk on a cloud, when suddenly Itachi stopped sinking, "I think I've got it." Slowly bit by bit Itachi began walking out of the cloud and onto the surface. "You have to constantly switch from going slow to fast with your Chakra manipulation, although it seems to variate at random times there's actually a pattern in all that chaos." Kibo listening to Itachi's explanation began to understand, and then he began to emulate Itachi's actions. Kibo finally stood on a cloud, although he was wobbling about, Kibo could feel that his Chakra Control had finally started to improve again.

Slowly bit by bit the (Mastered) Sign next to his Chakra Control Perk in his status began to grow blurry. After an hour the outline for (Perfection) could be seen replacing it. The training group continued on this cycle of repeated work until 8 years had passed.
