Chapter 162: Foxy - 1

Once Pa left back home to enjoy his...maggot stew, it was time for Daiki to leave the Hokage training ground behind for the first time in a week.

It was the first time he saw sunlight in that week, and would have strained his eyes a bit...if not for the fact his eyes were special and saw bright lights every second of every day regardless of if it was day or not.

Sadly, while Daiki would have loved to head home for a little bit, he had a deal to pay out on.

And so out into the forests with Jiraiya he went, to meet a familiar spiky haired blonde.

"Ero-sennin, where the hell have you bee-!?" Naruto, right in the middle of a set of push ups with multiple bags of what appeared to be sand tied all over his body began to demand as they appeared, only to pause and blink when he saw Daiki with him, "The hell are you doin' here?" he asked, pushing himself up and crossing his arms.

He'd discarded his orange jacket and so was only wearing a mesh shirt and orange pants, which meant he could see much of his bare torso. The boy while short, was packed with rigid powerful muscle.

Not as powerful and glorious as his own of course, but the hard training the boy put himself through showed.

Though, the sand bags were much less efficient than his own method of weight training.

"I went looking for this brat here, shrimpy brat," Jiraiya shrugged, "I figured he'd be able to teach you something much better than me."

"Huh!? The hell you on about?" Naruto scowled, crossing his arms, it was easy to see the boy was still upset with him about his attitude regarding Lee, "I thought you were some super Sannin like that snake face bastard? Some great shinobi you are if you need some kid my own age to teach me something."Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

"Ah shut up kid, I'm the Gallant Jiraiya, you won't ever find another shinobi as badass and cool as me," Jiraiya waved the boy off, "The little muscle head beside me just has something in common with you that I don't."

"Kids...kids, calm down a bit won't you?" Jiraiya sighed and felt the need to step in, "This really wasn't what I had in mind..."

But no, Daiki wasn't having it. He wanted him to help Naruto? He would. And the blonde would be all the better off for it, both physically and mentally. Hell, he'd be happier in the end.

"Buzz off old man, go set up a barrier to stop anyone from sensing chakra within this area and leave us to it," Daiki jutted his chin at him, "I'll be making Naruto see sense, but if anyone senses the Kyuubi's chakra they'll freak out."

Jiraiya hesitated, but Daiki narrowed his eyes at him and then with a mental tug, he called upon his closet allies power.

Almost casually, a bubbling cloak of sizzling red chakra formed around his body, splitting into three huge, thick tails at his back and waving languidly in the air.

He was making a point.

Jiraiya grimaced, understanding, "Fine, but I won't be far." he conceded and disappeared in a blur using a shunshin.

Only then did Naruto speak up, "...That chakra..."

"Like it?" Daiki spread his arms wide and invitingly, massive grin on his face, "This is what is called the Version 1 Bijuu Cloak. It's the step up from that little aura you can call on right now. You can draw right up to as many tails as your bijuu has. In your case, that would be nine." As he finished speaking, he saw the air ripple above them as a clear translucent barrier formed.

"...I don't even know what's going on, but I can tell it's super strong," Naruto grudgingly admitted, "I still don't get it Daiki. Sure it's strong, but why would you want it? Don't you remember, the Kyuubi attacked the village, it killed so many people! It's why I grew up hated and without parents! I don't want to use its power unless I need to!"

"...And?" Daiki replied, "The Kyuubi killed my parents too. My dad died in its initial attack and my mom two years later because of its chakra that infected her. But you don't see me whining about it."
