46 Chunin Exams Part 8

Naruto was shocked as a scroll came out of Kurama's mouth, it looked just like the one Jiraiya carried, but when Naruto pulled it out of his mindscape he once again shocked Jiraiya, "Where did that come from, and wait a second you already have a summon contract?" Naruto unrolled the large scroll as it came down to only a single name, 'Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki'

Kibo was shocked as was Jiraiya, during his travels he came across multiple legends of the origin of Chakra, but thanks to the Elder Toad he knew first hand of legend of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. "I've only trusted one person with the location of my Kin, and that was my father." Kurama smiled at Naruto and said, "Now I'm entrusting it to you. I wonder if my descendants are still alive."

After Naruto finished explaining that this was the lost fox summon scroll, Kibo shouted, "Well what are you waiting for? Sign it with your blood." Naruto bit his finger and signed his name while he placed his hand print on it. After being taught the hand signs by Kurama which serves as the key to activate the contract, Naruto placed his hand on the ground and yelled "Summoning Jutsu."

A puff of smoke appeared as a small white fox emerged from the space Jutsu, he was only a kit and looked very adorable, the Kit turned its head and said, "You smell like boss." It looked at Naruto and jumped on his head. Kurama was laughing at Naruto for summoning such a weak fox, when he said, "Naruto every fox on this contract has my blood coursing through their veins, you don't need to hold back so much."

Naruto laughed as he tried again, this time he used ten times as much Chakra than before, when the smoke cleared it revealed a pitch black fox at least 25 feet tall, it had a scar over its left eye and looked very strong. It looked down at Naruto when it spotted the white cub on Naruto's head it spoke, "Denden what are you doing here, who was lucky enough to obtain the Fox scroll?"

The kit pointed to Naruto and said, "He smells like Kurama's scent. He's the new host Shade." the black fox gave Naruto a once over and laughed, "It has been over a thousand years since the Fox Summon Beast have been seen on this earth. I have to say it feels good to stretch my legs, and leave Mount Kitsunegusa (Fox Wood Mountain) for a while. So what are we doing?" Naruto scratched his head and laughed, "Well I just got the scroll and was testing it out, I don't have any work right now, but you could inform the other foxes that they have their second contractor." Shade bowed to Naruto and said, "As you wish master."

Before Naruto released the summoning technique Kibo asked, "Do you guys have a way to train Sage mode?" The fox looked to Kibo and gasped, "You how are you like that?" Shade had a unique sensory ability that allowed him to sense danger in a similar manner that Kibo could. When he gazed at Kibo and focused his ability on him, he saw the power of two beasts that rivaled the Nine Tailed Fox residing inside him.

The fox coughed a bit before saying, "Yes, we have the Yin-Yang pond that's full of neutral natural energy. Unlike contaminated elemental based natural energy, this is perfect for humans to train in, as they don't have to worry about losing their physique to the changes that introducing the elemental natural energy brings to the body."

Kibo was surprised that Yin-Yang, and Star natural energy were both suitable for humans to train in, they didn't have to worry about turning into a frog of stone, or a snake. Kibo smiled as he said "Naruto should go with them and train for this next month, and work on the Rasengan."

Kibo wrote down all that Naruto would need to know to start off in the right direction, after handing it to him he turned to Jiraiya and said, "You and me need to go to Mount. Myōboku I have a few things to ask that old frog." Jiraiya sighed, "Alright then." After teaching Naruto the reverse summoning Jutsu, Shade gave Jiraiya a talisman so that he could use the reverse summoning Jutsu on himself, and it would send him to Mount Kitsunegusa just once.

Jiraiya would have to return with Naruto if he wished to get back to Konoha. Afterwards Jiraiya handed over a list of other Jutsus and how to perform them so that Naruto could practice while he escorted Kibo. Naruto thanked him before using the reverse summoning technique and disappeared with the other two foxes.

Jiraiya then placed his hand on Kibo he used the reverse summoning Jutsu; taking them to Mount Myōboku. Kibo appeared out of the smoke and looked around to see the beauty of the land, there were large mushrooms, Giant Elephant Ear leaves that were taller than three Kibo's stacked on top of each other. Ponds were full of lily pads, and strange cone shaped plants that had geysers of water streaming out from inside its pointed tips. Kibo viewed the vast mountain in the distance and said, "Well this has to be one of them most beautiful places I've ever seen." Jiraiya nodded his head and said, "I had a similar reaction when I was your age. Well come on follow me."

Jiraiya led him through the land and to the top of Mount Myōboku; they climbed a long series of steps until they arrived at a large Shinto shrine made from wood. Standing in front of the entrance were the two elder toads Fukasaku, and Shima.

Fukasaku was green toad with white hair styled in somewhat of a mohawk, he had very thick eyebrows and a small goatee, and wore two light black and blue capes, on the outside was a blue high-collared cloak, and the black neck rapped hooded cloak on the inside.

Shima has a green underside with purple markings around her mouth and the back of her body. The top of her head looks as though she is wearing a hair net with hair-rollers underneath, giving her an 'old woman' look. She was wearing the same kind of clothing as he her husband Fukasaku.

"Jiraiya boy, it's been awhile, how are you doing?" Fukasaku said with a grin on his face.

"Yes, it has been awhile. What are you doing here, and who is the child?"

"Granny Shima, Gramps Fukasaku! I'm here because this boy wants to speak with, Gamamaru." The two elder frogs looked at Kibo with an expression of surprise on their faces, "My word so young and already a Sage." Fukasaku said while stoking his beard.

"True I've never seen a human with his talent before!" Shima commented, Jiraiya's eye's nearly popped out of his skull, Kibo smiled and said, "The reason my form hasn't shown any physical changes is because I draw in natural energy from the stars. They don't have any elemental energy attached to them, making them more suitable for humans to cultivate."

Kibo then lifted his eye and said, "But my Sage form is a little special. You can consider me always in this mode." Kibo made Jiraiya feel a little weak, he had been trying to master the form for years, yet this kid who was barely a teen had apparently mastered it to a level he's never heard of before.

Kibo then turned to the elder frogs and bowed, "Elder's please allow me to speak to Gamamaru, I have something I wish to ask him."

"What a nice boy." Shima said smiling at Kibo, when Fukasaku smiled as well before saying, "I will ask if he will see you, please wait here. Fukasaku hopped into the building. After waiting a few hours he came back out and announced "Gamamaru will see you now, 'o' child of destiny."

Kibo lifted his brow at the comment, and walked into the shrine. In front of him was a large bowl stone throne filled with water that had the back of the seat look like a lush green leaf, and on the front of his throne was the Kanji for the word Sennin.

The interior had the appearance of a traditional Japanese temple and was colored with a deep blue shade. Sitting in the chair was one of the largest inhabitants of Mount Myōboku, easily equaling Gamabunta in size. He skin was brown in color, with a white belly, and was very much wrinkled, his age has taken its toll on him because his eyes were squinting as he tried to see the visitors in front of him. He wore a professor's hat with tassels and an orb on top of it, and a necklace with the toad's village symbol which was the Kanji for "oil" written on it.

Kibo bowed to the Great Sage Toad and said, "Kibo greets elder." Gamamaru smiled and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you child who's changed destiny." Jiraiya looked puzzled when Gamamaru continued "It was 14 years ago that the stars shifted, and you were born. You have a long and distant journey ahead of you."

Gamma paused as he looked like he was watching something unfold before his eyes. "You will know the joys and sorrows of life before you will form your hidden village, along your travels you will venture to the land of dragons, and encounter the white serpent. What you seek is there; then you will head to the land of lighting to seek out a great turtle. Lastly you will make way to the island of the Beasts; there you will encounter a great tiger who will lead you to your desire."

The giant toad looked down at him through the slits of his eyes and said, "This prophecy is a gift to you, and when you return you will repay all of Mount Myōboku with your blessing." Kibo scratched his head and said, "Thank you for your guidance, but what I came for was asked about the snake that's planning against Konoha."

Jiraiya looked to Kibo and said "Orochimaru, I knew he was sniffing around Konoha, but I didn't think he'd plan an attack!" Gamamaru looked as if he was contemplating something when he spoke out once again "The event is shrouded by destiny, an important moment of fate will occur during the peak of the tribulation. If successful Konoha's fire will burn brighter than ever before, but it comes with a wrenching sense loss." Kibo frowned and thanked Gamamaru and left with Jiraiya.

After he returned Kibo thanked Jiraiya before leaving to inform the rest of the team that Naruto would be gone for awhile, he told them was being trained by Jiraiya at a mystical place. Kakashi assumed he was referring to Mount Myōboku, but Kibo didn't bother correcting him. Kakashi took Sasuke to train and teach him the Chidori. Yamato took care of everyone else's training; Kibo chose to train alone as he headed for the Training cave to use the facility.

Time passed as a week went by; some things have majorly changed, for one Kabuto wasn't caught trying to kill Sasuke so Hayate didn't investigate him. Which eventually led to his death; meaning that they didn't prepare for the worst to case scenario to occur like they did in the original time line.

Dosu was still killed by Gaara, and because of it the line up for the finals had changed, Shikamaru was now fighting Temari and Kibo had to fight 2 opponents; the first fight was against Sai, his second match was against Karin. Naruto instead of fighting against Hinata will be up against Shino.

Kibo thought it would be a good idea to inform the Hokage that something was up. After arriving at the Hokage's office Sarutobi seemed happy to see him, "Sorry to spoil your mood, but I just got back from Mount Myōboku after having a chat with the Great Sage Frog." Sarutobi turned serious, "Did he have anything interesting to say?" He asked pulling out his pipe and began loading a pinch of tobacco into it.

"During a time of promotion, a snake born in the leaf will visit the village and bring to it a tribulation." Kibo said making Sarutobi a cold light dance across his eyes. "Anything else?" The Hokage asked letting out a puff of smoke.

"Nothing that pertains to the village." Kibo responded, "I have to thank you again Kibo, I'm afraid that the worst may have occurred without your warning."
