Chapter 41: Nature training
Toriko awoke to find Anko coiled around him passed out with a snake like grin on her face. She breathed softly slightly tickling his skin and he couldn't bare to move and wake her up, ruining this perfect image in his mind forever so he chose to go back to sleep. Little did he know that she was awake the entire time and felt her heart throb at his actions so she coiled a little tighter.
After they awoke properly this time they had a quick bath to wash of their musk. The entire house smelled of sex and alcohol with a faint lingering of the dishes that were consumed last night. Anko herself had some issues walking but nothing chakra couldn't fix.
She left to leave in some "reports" to the hokage'S office that are due from the T&I department. These reports would then be thoroughly studied by shizune and tsunade once the majority of the paperwork is completed.
Toriko himself left to continue his training, now that he had mastered senjutsu and has developed a sufficient amount of jutsu in other areas it is time to master his nature chakras. Toriko possesses fire, water and earth which he needs the first two for scorch release so training them only brings more benefits. His earth nature will not be neglected as it is highly useful for defence and dealing.
His sister is still training and he doesn't know anyone with earth nature besides kakashi who is also busy so he went to the one person he could. The third hokage who has mostly retired to his compound these days with his second wife. Hiruzen spends the majority of his days as high as a kite or as he calls it "training his drug resistances".
The only reason people don't think he's dead is because of the vast amount of snacks his family order from toriko's company and the akimichi families. He orders crisps, cheeses, pasta, garlic bread, pizza, tacos, kebabs, chocolate and every other product they offer. Stoners love to snack.
The shinobi who was so powerful and knowledgeable to be deemed "the scholar" was enjoying his retirement with his family so he didn't receive any visitors which left toriko with the option of asking Pakura. His actual sensei as she received konoha citizenship.
A quick trip to the senju compound and some manoeuvring around led him to a hot spring that she had built herself as a form of relaxation and training. The green haired beauty can be seen meditating ontop of the water.
"Hello toriko what can I do for you?" "Hey pakura-sensei, i was wondering if you had any idea how to train my chakra natures. I think mastering them can lead me to the next level". The woman took a deep breath and exhaled flames demonstrating excellent flame control.
"No problem, it appears we had the same idea. We'll start with fire. First step is to run your chakra through a lead and make it burn, next step is to enter a cold environment and run flame chakra through your body to keep you warm. Third step is to enter a pool or lake and release high temperature flame chakra from your skin and boil the place into an onsen. The results of that are in front of you." Toriko nodded and asked her to continue.
"The next step is named dragon breathing, this step includes inhaling drawing flames towards you and exhaling dragon breath without harming yourself which I am currently doing. It is similar to the fireball jutsu but in a continuous state so as to reduce the costs of fire jutsu immensely. Finally the last step is called the beacon stage. This is when one can essentially become a flaming pillar with chakra along without being injured."
"Sounds difficult, how long have you been training on it" "only 8 years or so but my progress was ruined because of my injuries so it took 2 years to build back up. Next is water nature training, leaf training is beginner stuff so assume to do this with all natures. Next is to enter a hot environment and use water nature chakra to cool yourself down. Next sit under a waterfall and use water nature chakra to manoeuvre the water around you so you dint get wet though some struggle with this so start by doing it during a rain shower then move to a waterfall. The last step of water training is to sit at the bottom of the lake while forming a water dome. All without getting wet of course. The next step I haven't reached yet but it's essentially the same as the lake but in the ocean."
Sounds like a pain in the ass toriko thought, currently he could produce 20 shadow clones with his chakra capacity and still have a bit leftover so he can train like naruto did for a year instead of a few weeks. "Any way for earth nature?" "Hmm I'm not an earth user but I know some from guys who did. First the leaf, second pouring earth chakra into a rock to make it tougher and heavier to the point you can't lift it. Third is too coat your skin in that type of chakra and get beat for awhile but to my understanding you are a sage so beatings don't work on you. Jiraiya is living proof of that so I'll give you a water training exercise that can be repurposed. Sit in a mud bath and drain the moisture from it rather than remove the water. The last step is something only the IWA kage are known for. Manipulate metal with your earth chakra or manipulate gravity with it. I have no clue how so just wing it".
"K" was all he replied. Then he asked "are you planning to learn nature chakra pakura?" To which she nodded "sure, its incredibly useful for a woman what with increasing life span and improving the body. Also amps up jutsu which is good for our scorch release. Lastly the training seems nice compared to training in stuff like poison release or sound release which tayuya and Karin trained in. Tsunade gave me katsuyu'S scroll so I'll make the contract soon. If I need help I'll ask you" then finally she went back to her training.
Since toriko left she began retraining herself after hearing him mention danger approaching. She didn't feel a downside to training and wanted to go beyond her previous peak. Konoha has more resources than Suna so she's much better off now and is making better progress. She also listened to torikos ideas about new scorch release jutsu so is developing her own jet style as he called it.
Back to toriko he began two months worth of training in his natures. Five clones on each nature with the final five working on his cooking jutsu and senjutsu. He himself just began studying new medical breakthroughs and conditioned his body with new poisons. Scorch release could use wind and fire or fire and water at different ratios to make different jutsu. He didn't need to learn how to practice wind nature chakra as he'd seen naruto do it so he practised back in the wolves cave where a waterfall was present.
Senjutsu boosted shadow clones for the win!!!!!
He received some visits from his women and some glances from shizune, tsunade and tsume who was forbidden by hana to approach him without her presence. Whilst he was trying yugao appeared and asked him to meet with tsunade. So he flashed over there quickly and asked about the mission.
As soon as he appeared she quickly hid some documents and began speaking. "Ah good your here, team pakura is being sent on a mission. As you know the other genin of your year group just attended the chunin exams and passed. During that mission they met with the seven tails jinchuriki fuu, she's a member of takigakure and their kage is ignoring the akatsuki threat. After what happened with the two tails talks have begun about protecting them but takigakure refuses and claims about it being a bully strategy.
Your mission is to infiltrate takigakure and retrieve fuu before the akatsuki make their move. Karin has experience in takigakure hence she is accompanying you and tayuya needs the exercise. You leave tomorrow morning". He didn't argue so he simply left to prepare for the next mission while pondering what dish can be made from the seven tails.
