I slept peacefully throughout the night and was only awakened by a little white bunny kicking my side. I slowly turned my head to face the bunny and said,” kick me one more time and I smack you with my tail.” The bunny just glared at me and then rapidly kicked my side so being a tailed beast of my word I smacked him across the room with one of my four tails. This sent the bunny flying into the wall with a thud, which may or may not have brought me a lot of joy.
As I looked at the bunny who was now on the ground I heard a angry voice ask,” Son why did you hit Angel Bunny.” I turned to the voice, which was Fluttershy, and said,” I told the fluff ball to stop kicking me or I would hit it.” Fluttershy glared at me and said,” that is not how we deal with are problems Son, you should have come and gotten me.”
When I was about to say something I heard a growl come from Kurama who it seems me and Fluttershy woke up. Kurama sat up and in a tired and angry voice said,” what is all this racket! I was having a great dream of eating a chicken!”
This made Fluttershy gasp and say,” Kurama that is not the type of talk that I want to hear in my house.” I turned my head to the side and said,” why he needs food and he is an omnivore.” Fluttershy sighed and said,” I know but I take care of a lot of animals here and not all of them are comfortable around animals that eat meat, and I want them to feel as comfortable as possible.
I gave Fluttershy a nod to show that said I understood. Kurama on the other hand just rolled his eyes and said,” well it’s not my fault. I need meat to stay healthy and i just have the arua of a predator. I can try to tone it down at least though.”
Fluttershy smiled and said,” thank you Kurama that is all I am asking for.” Fluttershy then pet the top of his head like you would a dog when it did something good. I smiled brightly and started to picture Kurama wearing a coller. However I forgot that me and Kurama had this sort of mental link so he saw what I thought.
Kurama growled angrily and in a threatening voice said,”one more thought like that and i triple your training.” Fluttershy turned her head to the side and asked,” what are you talking about, what is this training you are talking about.” Kurama looked Fluttershy in the eyes and said,” to control his tailed beast powers and learn how to defend himself. I must teach him or else he could lose control and bad things could happen.”
Fluttershy looked at me with worry and asked,” is this training going to be dangerous Kurama?” Kurama shrugged and in a matter of fact tone said,” not leathly so but it can be. I will do everything i can to reduce the risks.”
Fluttershy hugged me tight and asked,” Son are you okay with this, it sounds like it is going to be very dangerous and painful?” I sighed and said,” Fluttershy I will be fine now can you let me go cause I am really hungry.” Fluttershy let me go from the hug and said,” oh I am sorry Son why don’t you and Kurama come into the kitchen so I can make you something to eat.”
Me and Kurama gave her a quick nod and followed Fluttershy as she walked into the kitchen. I jumped onto the chair on the left side of the table while Kurama jumped onto the one right.
Fluttershy then set a bowl of fruits in front of me and a fish in front of Kurama. Kurama looked at Fluttershy and asked,” what is this?” Fluttershy smiled and said,” Well I can’t give you any chicken but I can give you fish.” Fluttershy then frowned and asked,” why do you not like it?” Kurama sighed as he lowered his head and said,” i never had fish before is all. But worth a taste.”
Fluttershy smiled brightly and said,” that is all I could ask of you Kurama.” Fluttershy then kissed him on the top of head like a mother does when there child does something good. This made me burst into a intense fit of laughter.
Kurama glared at me as I laid on the ground laughing and screamed out,” THAT JUST EARNED YOU DOUBLE TRAINING!” I just continued to laugh my heart out but between each laugh when I had enough air I said,” I regret nothing.”
Fluttershy glared at me and said,” Son it is really rude to laugh at somepony else.” Fluttershy then picked me up like a small child and set me down on the chair. Fluttershy then said,” now you sit there and eat you breakfast or you will be in big trouble.” I blushed at being treated like a small child.
Kurama smirked and in a teasing tone said,” aw I didn’t think you could get any redder than you already were.” I growled and was about to say something when Fluttershy said,” Son, Kurama eat or you are both in trouble.”
We sighed and started to eat the food that she had given us and when we finished we both said,” done.” Fluttershy then walked walked over to us and said,” see how nice it is to eat a meal and not bicker with each other.”
Kurama rolled his eyes and said,” well we are brothers in a sense. So it is normal for us to bicker. But ya it is nice.” Fluttershy smiled and said,” alright you two can go out and do your training.”
I smiled brightly and jumped out of my chair and to the door. Kurama sighed and followed close behind me and when he was behind me he said,” this shall be tough and hard. Are you ready to learn the way of a bijuu shinobi?”
I smiled and said,” HAI SENSEI!” This made Kurama smile as he opened the door with his tail and said,” then be ready. When we leave i want you to run for as long as you can.”
As soon as that door was fully opened I ran as fast as I could out the house. Kurama smirked and ran after me and due to his speed being much greater than mine he caught up to me in mere seconds. Once he caught up to me he said,” i said how long not how fast. You will burn out quicker if you always use full speed. Pace yourself.”
I sighed as slowed down and asked,” Is this better?” Kurama raised an eyebrow to me and in a threatening tone said,” not that slow. Try to keep up a fast but maintabile pace. The speed i used to catch you when you were going at your top speed was my normal battle pace.”
I growled as I started to pick up a somewhat fast speed that I knew I could stay at for a while. After a few hours of running I fell onto the ground and in gaspes said,” body.. hurt.. run.. No more.” Kurama walked over to me and said,” not bad on the speed but i know you can go faster. Take my paw.” Kurama reached out his left paw out for me to take.
I looked up and weakly grabbed his paw. I groaned and asked,” are we done yet sensei?” Kurama shock his head no and said,” you need more training. Here my chakra will help you. Then when you are back to 100% we can start with chakra training.”
I groaned and said,” Oh come on I am for all intended purposes three days old, can’t you take it a bit easier on me.” Kurama shock his head once again and in a stern voice said,” do you want to hurt your new friends!? You must train! By the way I am taking it easy on you. The person who sent me here made my training 10 times harder than what you are getting!” I turned my head to the side and asked,” Really who sent you here?’
Kurama sighed and in a low tone said,” i was once human many years ago. But about 30 years ago i died and was seen by the sage of sixth paths. He knew you would need a teacher. So he gave me this form, and powers, and sent me here. So this is training straight from the sage of our art himself.”
I crossed my arms and said,” That is not fair why did you get to meet the sage of sixth paths while I only got to meet Death.” Kurama chuckled and said,” Death needed to send you. He knew i was here to help you. When the time comes for you to gain more power you will get to meet him.” Kurama closed his eyes tightly and when he opened them again his eyes had changed to look more like a frogs with his normal eye running through it.
I gasped and said,” you can go Sage mode, that is so really cool! You have to teach me how to do that!?” Kurama then closed his eyes again and when he opened them again they were back to normal. Kurama chuckled and said,” in due time.” This just made me cross my arms and puff out my cheeks like a small child.
Kurama sighed and said,” you know the dangers right? Well as your chakra is now the nature energy would overwhelm you and you would turn to stone. Train up your normal chakra first. Patience shall be the key.”
I sighed and said,” fine Kurama sensei I will wait.” I then stretched and asked,” so what are we doing first for my chakra training?” Kurama smiled and said,” well first i need to teach you how our chakra as tailed beasts is different than a normal beings. Do you know the concept of yin and yang?”
I gave him a quick nod and said,” I think so but I am not sure?” Kurama sighed and started to draw in the dirt with his tails the Yin and Yang symbol. As he did this Kurama said,” Yin or physical chakra is what most beings have more of. It is life,breath and energy. Yang on the other hand is what we have loads of. Its is the spiritual side and the so called “dark” half of chakra. Our versions of justus have to use different ratios to anything else. So do you know hand signs?” I just shock my head no rapidly which made Kurama sigh.
Kurama then started to draw all the hand signs and once he was done he said,” these are how you draw on your chakra. Try these while channeling some chakra.” I looked at the signs which were Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. After I weaved those signs I shot out a giant fireball from my mouth.
I watched as the fireball went flying towards the everfree forest until it hit it and caught it on fire. I looked at Kurama and asked,” did I just do what I think I did?” Kurama gave me a toothy smile and said,” yup. That was the fireball jutsu.”
I smidly widely as I looked at what I had done but that joy soon turned to regret when I heard a Fluttershy’s voice behind me say,” What in Celestia’s name do you think you are doing Son.” I turned to face Fluttershy who was glaring daggers at me and Kurama.
Fluttershy just stared at us in anger and fear until finally asking,” Kurama what do you two think you are doing?” Kurama turned his head to the side and in matter of factly tone said,” training. Give me a second.” Kurama then weaved a few signs which caused a rush of water to come out of his mouth putting out the fire. After a few minutes later the forest is good as new, well it mostly was.
Fluttershy shock her head in disapproval and said,” Kurama that is a very dangerous kind of training and I don’t like the idea of Son taking part of it.” Fluttershy then grabbed me by the nap of my neck and set me on her back. Kurama growled as he used his tails to grab me and set me on his back. Kurama then said,” would you rather he lose control? He must learn this otherwise he could lose control. The normal arts are bad enough if used on accident. But if he figures out a tailed beast arts by accident kiss Equestria goodbye! Trust me he needs to learn our ways.”
Fluttershy glared at Kurama as she grabbed me again and said,” He is only a few days old, I am sure you can wait for him to grow up a bit more.” Kurama then grabbed me again and said,” to wait is to spell doom! The older he gets without training the easier it will be for him to lose control! Plus our maker told me to train him when i got here. The jutsu you saw and all the ones he shall learn for a while are beginner level moves. I won't go to fast but he NEEDS THIS!”
This whole game of pass the four tailed monkey continued until finally I yelled,” WILL YOU TWO STOP ALREADY!” Fluttershy and Kurama looked at me with surprise at my yelling.
I sighed and said,” how about both of you set me down and we talk about this because you two playing pass the monkey is getting very annoying.” Fluttershy, whos back I was on, set me down on the ground between her and Kurama.
I took a deep breath in and out and said,” okay why don’t we stop for the day and the next time we train Fluttershy can supervise and tell us when she thinks we are going a bit overboard.” Fluttershy gave a quick nod while Kurama on the other hand said nothing. After a couple of seconds of Kurama scowling he sighed and said,” one art a day. You may pick every other day shy. That fine with you?”
Fluttershy smiled and said,” alright I can agree to that.” Fluttershy then turned around to face her house and said,” now you two come on in for supper and bed.” Fluttershy then walked back towards her house.
I looked up at Kurama and asked,” so you are going to teach me more jutsu’s when she isn’t looking right?” Kurama smirked wickedly and said,” when we are alone yes. Think of it as a lesson in stealth.” Kurama then took on a more serious look and said,” however i do agree i must choose which jutsus I teach you more carefully.” Kurama then pointed his center most tail at me and said,” Feel that drain?”
I closed my eyes for a second and when I opened them I gave a quick nod to show that I felt it. Kurama smiled and said,” good. For now don't use the fireball jutsu too much. You don't have as big of chakra reserve as i do. If you start to feel woozy let me know and i can share some of mine.”
I gave him a quick nod and said,” Okay Kurama sensei, now why don’t we go get some food.” I then started to run back to Fluttershy’s home. Kurama sighed as he watched me run and asked himself,” is he even worth it? No i made a promise to the sage when we meet.” Kurama then sighed one last time before running after me.
Once we entered the house Fluttershy said,” Come into the kitchen boys I have your meals ready.” As we walked into the kitchen, and took the same seats as we did in the morning, I saw what she made us. For me she made a stack of banana pancakes and for Kurama she made him a salad with a couple small pieces of fish in it.
After we ate are food me and Kurama went back into the living rooms where are beds were and laid down. Fluttershy smiled and said,” goodnight boys see you in the morning.” Fluttershy then turned out the lights as she went upstairs to her room.
I yawned loudly and asked,” so Kurama what are you going to teach me tomorrow?” Kurama let out a small yawn as he set his head onto his paws and said,” i said she gets to pick every other day. Tomorrow she will likely have you learn healing arts or something which she feels is safe.”
I smiled weakly and said,” okay just thought I would ask.” I then set my head on top of my arms and fell into a deep sleep. As I slept I heard a voice saying,” go find him, go find Gyūki!”
