~The Surprise Sparring Partner

Koaru left the training dojo and was now outside, or rather, inside the zen garden area of the Kageheya. Koaru looked around, admiring the scenery. Koaru noted that there was no rain, and deduced that this location was probably outside the storm riddled Rain country. The gardens in the mysterious realm stretched on for what seemed like miles, decorated with shrubbery, fountains, and great stone statues. Koaru wandered down a sandy path, nursing his aching head. He wondered just what exactly happened in the previous night. All Koaru could recollect was meeting his new sensei, the Amekage, Worr Terumi. Koaru stopped at the center of one of the particularly large gardens. There were gray stone statues lined up in a cross pattern, creating four paths leading out of the garden. At the center of the cross pattern of statues was one exceptionally large statue of a screaming man. He held both sides of his massive head with his jaw dropped, creating a gaping opening.

Koaru was uncomfortable; he could hear the statue’s piercing scream in his head, splitting his head in two. The effects of his hangover were at its peak. Koaru drew a kunai knife and clenched it between his fingers. He sharpened the edges with his wind style chakra and aimed it at the statue. In a split second, Koaru launched the kunai, and lodged it deep into the screaming statue’s forehead. The chakra enhanced kunai pierced so deep into the statue, that only the knife’s handle was visible. Koaru felt relief, having silenced the demon of a statue. Only then did it occur to Koaru that this may have been the property of Worr’s, his teacher. Koaru gasped in remorse and immediately thought of a way to remove the knife. Koaru clasped his hands together into the snake hand seal, recollecting his wind style chakra. The chakra surrounded the knife once again. Koaru concentrated hard, rustling up the sand below his feet. As he glared at the knife embedded in the statue’s forehead, it slowly began to loosen. The knife was moving on its own, wiggling itself free from confinement from the man’s forehead. In the instant that the kunai was free, the hole in the statues forehead expanded in a series of cracks. The crackling split the statue in two before the entire thing collapsed into a pile of rubble. The sound of the statue’s demolition thundered throughout the entire Kageheya. When the roaring sound finally settled, Koaru distinguished the sound of footsteps approaching. Koaru panicked and scrambled to collect his kunai and hid the evidence. He separated himself from the rubble, kicking away the few rocks that trailed from his feet to the pile of rubble. Koaru rustled his hair, in nervous anticipation of whoever was approaching him…

Worr would continue walking back to the Dojo when his Chakra senses, which were amplified inside The Kageheya, began to go off inside his head.

"Looks like the boy you brought back made a bit of a mess."

Worr heard the Bijuu speak inside his head as Worr would sigh. he would turn slightly adjusting his course that he would take to the Dojo. He looked at the statues, noting that all of them looked to be in pain. It was natural though, they were all once enemies of Worr, somewhere in the Zen garden was also the statue of the previous Amekage.

It was not long before Worr found the damaged statue, he actually was not mad,he even laughed a bit before looking out and around before he gathered up his Chakra before he would force out his Chakra, he even felt like there was a different type of Chakra waiting inside of him, perhaps a new Element of the Bijuu. IF so it would take time to harness, but perhaps the new guy could help out. It was not long before the Chakra Senses reached Koaru's hiding place.

"Come on out Koaru, I ain't mad. Lets get to training, then afterwards I will take you out and we will get a nice big breakfast. Whadda ya say?"

Worr would ask and wait to hear the answer of the hiding Koaru.

Koaru cleared his conscious as Worr approached him. Koaru sighed and stepped away from the pile of rubble and into Worr's line of sight. A big breakfast sounded nice to him, as confirmed by the intense growling of his stomach. Now in front of Worr, Koaru greeted his teacher with a respectful bow, and studied his appearance. Koaru blinked his eyes, transitioning the color of his pupils from black to jade green. The patterns scattered around his pupil danced as his eye dilated. Koaru's Moringan eyes met Worr's.

"Sounds good. What kind of training did you have in mind, Lord Amekage? Or may I call you Worr sensei?"

Koaru had recalled hearing Worr's name being chanted in the bar as half the entire population of Amegakure came to celebrate with their kage. Koaru's accepting smile paled when his eyes dropped to Worr's center. A mysterious chakra bubbled deep within Worr, like the crashig waves of an ocean. The teal colored chakra shocked the boy into saying,

"Woah...I think you need that breakfast more than I do. Your stomach looks like it has a mind of its own!"

"Today were gonna train my Bijuu, and make you stronger...by the way what is your rank anyway? I am sure you need guidance as to become a Chuunin as well. Were gonna need to make you stronger if you are a Genin so when your ready your first task will be to meditate while I come at you and try to knock you off of a rock you will be sitting on."

Worr would then snap as the statues would all disappear. The Zen gardens would be empty except for a lone rock to the right of him, this was to be where he would train. Worr would make sure to attack right outside of him when it was time. This kind of training would strengthen ones resolve and allow them to fight under pressure and unbelievable odds. Now it would just be a matter if Koaru would go for it or not.

Koaru nodded in approval, then rubbed his chin, comprehending the training task he was to fulfill. Koaru agreed with his sensei, accepting that he needed to get stronger, and that the road to get there was very long. As analytic as he was, it only took a few seconds for Koaru to fully comprehend the purpose of this training exercise. In the heat of battle, an excellent shinobi would still be able to think clearly and precisely, and even maintain his flow of chakra, despite the distractions around him. That, in Koaru's case, is what would separate him from other run of the mill ninja in the soon coming chuunin exams. In a second, the room around him changed so that the statues vanished and the room was completely empty except for the two ninja and a rock jutting upward from the earth about a meter high. Koaru walked so that he was between the Worr and the rock, which he recognized as the "rock he would be sitting on". With his back facing Worr, Koaru turned his head, and spoke with determination in his voice. The way his long, dreaded hair shaded his eyes and drooped over his broad shoulders would inspire awe as his words lingered in the Kageheya.

"Worr sensei. Yes it is true that I am a genin, and that I will need assistance to pass the chuunin exams. But, it is far deeper than that. I need your help...to become even stronger than any chuunin or jounin, for the sake of those important to me... I am counting on you."

With that said, Koaru jumped on top of the rock. It had a pointed top, making it hard to balance on. Koaru landed on it, with both feet on either side of the pointed rock tip. Koaru would try to maintain his balance, but would fall in the end. Koaru got up and dusted himself off, embarrassed of his failure just seconds after delivering a cool speech to his sensei. Koaru would laugh nervously and climb back up the rock and secure his position at its tip. Koaru would then put his hands together and meditate on his flow of chakra. He closed his eyes and focused hard, then peeped out of one eye to await the power of the "bijuu" that Worr spoke of. Koaru had never encountered one, or even heard of it, so didn't eve know what to expect.

Worr understood that the training was about to take another turn for the good of Koaru, but from Worr's knowledge they would also need to hurry so that Worr could transport his student to Kumogakure.  This would be so that the boy could participate in the Chuunin trials.  Worr watched as Koaru climbed atop the rock only to fall off and into the sand, this made Worr want to laugh, but the time for Worr's very theatric and care-free attitude to disappear.  As he heard Koaru speak Worr realized that this boy was indeed the start of something new for him.  When he was ready Worr stood back from the rock as he centered his own Chkra and began to internalize his power.  It did not take long before Worr's body was surrounded by a visible Teal aura.  Two tails of energy formed behind him as he kept his eyes shut for just a while longer.  As soon as he felt an internal control on this Chakra he felt the voice of the Sanbi inside his head once more.

"Looks like your going to show the kid a bit early what it is like to be in the presence of a crushing force...be wary of the path you take."

Worr began to pull again trying to feel out getting another tail and unlocking the power of the Sanbi inside him.  He opened his eyes to see his student on the rock keeping balance.  He unleashed the pressure of the Chakra inside him as barely visible trails of smoke billowed from the corners of his mouth and through his nostrils.  The pressure from the Two Tailed cloak was immense, and even Worr could feel it...like a heavy weight on his chest, in foreign countries he knew that without his cloak this would be known as the power of ones Ishi-Ryoku, or Willpower that would be a presence of both strength, and knowledge.  Worr then began to move at a speed of 98, throwing punches towards every side of Koaru, the punches would each have the power of 80.  One punch would be enough to knock out, if not kill his student so Worr was careful not to get within a meter of his body, making sure that there were so many punches that there was a sort of barrier around the boy.  The sound of Woor's body was silent as only his breath could be heard.  

Soon though Worr would begin to almost yell as he would pull out more Chakra from inside him, if Koaru would open his eyes he would be able to see the scene of anguish on Worr's face  as he would continue to punch.  Soon though another tail would form behind him,  though faint at first it was growing more solid with each passing minute Worr remained focused.

"This is my new power Koaru, keep your focus..."

Worr would stop as he would nearly loose focus but then regain it as he his eyes would be wide open looking at Koaru.

"Now...Tell me...faced in a situation where you are faced down by 10 ninja, all clearly stronger and faster than you...how...how do you fight against such a force?"

Worr would ask all the while his focus would begin to return as his control over the tail was solidified.  His punches started to go faster now as more pressure would be released with each punch.

"Fight against the pressure Koaru, this will make you stronger.  Now answer me!"

Worr would continue as long as Koaru would meditate to find the answer.

Koaru grunted in acknowledgement as his training commenced. His training was about to start, and it would be difficult right from the start. Koaru did not hesitate or break his focus for a second, unaffected by the challenge that towered over him. He could not afford to back down now, with the Chuunin exams just around the corner. It was his first step toward strength, power, and of course women. He looked at his sensei and saw his serious demeanor. Koaru was honored that the Amekage, who had just met the small unworthy genin, was also taking this training very seriously. Koaru awakened the Moringan with just a blink of both his eyes, so he could observe the power of the bijuu. What he saw was frightening…

An eerie chakra leaked from Worr’s body like blood, completely engulfing his figure. The chakra bubbled like a deadly poison, threatening to incinerate any who touched it. Koaru gulped hard, intimidated by Worr’s new form. Koaru did not think it was possible to underestimate a Kage, but even he was not expecting this. Koaru peered deep within Worr and saw a raging beast emanating the teal chakra. This was the legendary bijuu, a monster that was the source of a seemingly endless supply of chakra and power, and was inevitably weaponized and used to kill, and destroy by many. Koaru felt his knees being forced to bow in the presence of such power. However, he defied it. Koaru maintained his balance, an ant opposing a giant.
 
Koaru saw Worr move toward him with great speed. Koaru could only manage to tense his muscles as a flurry of punches surrounded him. Worr was fast on top of all the power he held within him. His hair whipped and flickered behind him because of the force of the gatling of punches. Koaru flinched hard, closing his eyes and embracing the impact of the wind pressure that resulted from the punches. Koaru started to panic when he felt his legs slipping from his position on the rock. If he was not careful, Koaru would slip and fall into the trajectory of the punches. A direct hit from one of those punches would surely end his life swiftly. Koaru mustered his strength to regain balance and leaned into the force of the attacks. It was a challenge, but Koaru managed to get his feet back into position, with the occasional slip here or there. With his stance somewhat stabilized, Koaru would think to himself,

‘So this is the power of a bij-‘
 
His thoughts would then be interrupted by an anguished scream. The young ninja open his eyes in a startle, and could see pain in Worr’s face. Even Koaru knew that harnessing that kind of power had to come at some price. Another lump of bijuu chakra germinated at Worr’s backside. At the same time, Koaru could feel a great difference in the power that each punch Worr threw created. Koaru pieced together that the number of tails quantified the level of power that a jinchuuriki could manipulate. Koaru felt helpless as the number of tails he counted were three…

"Now...Tell me...faced in a situation where you are faced down by 10 ninja, all clearly stronger and faster than you...how...how do you fight against such a force?"

Koaru processed his sensei’s words. A battle scenario? Perhaps Worr had gone insane! There was no way anyone could think under the pressure of all the attacks Worr was throwing. By now, Worr must have thrown at least one thousand punches. However, Koaru snapped out of his disbelief when he reflected back to the purpose of this training. Koaru was to meditate and be able to think clearly, even in the face of an almost impossible. A true master’s flow of chakra would be undisturbed, even when being threatened by a powerful force. Koaru strengthened his grip on the rock he stood on. At the same time, his hands that were already pressed together, palm to palm, slipped into the snake hand seal. Koaru drenched his kunai holster, which was fastened to his right leg, in wind style chakra. After a great deal of concentration, the only movement coming from Koaru being the bead of sweat traveling down his face and to his chin, a kunai knife burst through the holster flap, and floated to eye level, just before Koaru. Koaru could feel his chakra standing its ground even as the pressure from each of Worr’s fists pushed him back. Koaru clamped his hands together with more force. He could do better than that.
 
Four more kunai left his holster and joined the kunai that already stood suspended in front of Koaru. Together, they danced in the wind created by the force of the jinchuuriki’s attacks. All the while, Koaru wracked his brain for an answer to the combat scenario. In the ten seconds that have passed since Worr started throwing punches, he had thrown at least two thousand punches. Koaru needed to establish better control over his body and his own chakra, as Worr demonstrated with his bijuu chakra. The kunai knives moved with a speed of 90 and scattered in 5 direction from Koaru, stopping just outside of a meter from their owner. The purpose of this was not to impale his master. No…instead, Koaru intended to have the kunai dodge the punches, being guided solely by his chakra. The kunai weaved through the punches, taking advantage of the space between each punch thrown. Though not as fast as Worr, the knives were at least able to slip just out of the punches’ reach while Koaru maintained balance. Once he reached a steady flow of chakra, and maintained his balance, Koaru opened his mouth to reveal his answer. His response would be delivered 7 seconds after the question was given.


“Use their numbers to my advantage! I will cloud their senses with a smoke bomb, and while under the cover of smoke, transform into my enemy’s likeness. The confusion will give me an advantage in battle, or allow me to escape.”

Koaru hoped his answer was acceptable.

Worr smiled as he finally stopped. The transformation and pulling of Chakra really took a toll on him, and as he fell to a knee in front of Koaru he laughed a bit. The laughter was not to mock Koaru, but to simply bring to light that the boy did good with his answer...well that and to show that Worr was worn out to a fault. He then stood up as he looked at his student with a big grin on his face.

"Your answer was good, you seemed to keep a steady flow of Chakra, and your mind seemed to think of an answer in ample time. Remember, do not let distractions or your environment get your head full of mud. Make sure it is always clear like water and you will do fine. I hear the exams are gonna be soon so how about that breakfast I mentioned earlier?"

Worr would smile and place a hand on Koaru's shoulder. Depending on his answer Worr would transport them to his office where everything was nice and clean. There was even two trays on a table in the middle of the room waiting for them.

His sensei deemed his answer worthy, and Koaru  called off his technique, realeasing his hands to catch five kunai. Koaru smilled and even laughed with Worr. Koaru felt stronger already. Koaru stood next to Worr, listening to what he had to say. He thanked Worr for the compliments and took him up on his promise to breakfast. Just a second later, with a tap on his shoulder, Koaru was back at the Amekage office. Koaru heard his stomach growl violently, just as he set eyes on the trays of breakfast. Koaru would break bread with his sensei, then coax Worr by saying,

"So...is it too early for round two of that drinking contest?"
