Chapter 31
In no way am I weaker than the Has.h.i.+rama or Madara. There is also no way that Kaguya or any other Otsutsuki clan member is physically stronger than me. The only reason I can think of that Gamamaru said that I was on par with the Rikudosennin was because of the multiple Kekkei Genkai, bloodline limit, that he and the rest of the Otsutsuki clan possess. Faster and stronger but to what end? If I am caught in an inescapable illusion, an eternal seal, or basically erased without doing anything because of the plethora of Genjutsu, eye techniques, then my strength is wasted. My Ki and chakra alone dwarfs the Jyuubi. I can destroy the planet if I feel inclined. As far as I know my greatest strength is the use of Ki. If Genjutsu is used and chakra is needed for me to get caught in it, then I won't use chakra or primarily use Ki and use chakra to disrupt the abnormality of the technique. Since I can train here and ask Gamamaru questions, I will see if there are better ways to counter or simply not be affected by Genjutsu. I am striving for strength so overwhelming that any other mode of power would be made obsolete.
I start my training at 150 X gravity. Typical warm up with simple exercises. After my warm up I push towards 200. I turn it up to 250. Once at 250 X gravity I turn into my True Saiyan form. I am trying to keep all the power within without letting too much energy escape. This way I can internalize my power instead of wasting a huge amount of stamina while it is activated. Once gravity training is done, while in this form, I keep myself afloat in the air and meditate. I try to stimulate my S-cells, microscopic cells found in most saiyans. The amount of S-cells depends on the spirit of the Saiyan, the more gentle the spirit, the greater the amount of S-cells. Alternatively, when a Saiyan increases their battle power, it can also increase the amount of S-cells in the body. S-cells are essential to becoming a Super Saiyan, or so I've read before. By stimulating my S-cells in my True Saiyan form I am hoping to reach Super Saiyan in this form and basically becoming a small Golden Oozaru. If the True Saiyan form is treated by the color of the fur then brown would be the starting point and, I am only speculating, silver would be the last color. Why silver? Because if the color scheme is used as a measure for the level of power a Saiyan is at then, in my opinion, the
s.h.i.+ma: Min'na!, everybody, lunch is done.
Jiraiya, seeing how Naruto was progressing quickly, also trained with us to perfect his sage mode. So much so that he only needed either f.u.kasaku or s.h.i.+ma to transform. I know that because they are frogs and their staple is insects I didn't feel that digusted with s.h.i.+ma's food. Because of my Saiyan blood or if I'm just that hungry. In the Saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z there was a scene where Vegeta and Nappa were eating an insect alien, even in the Dragon Ball series Goku offered a bug to eat to Bulma when they were young, meaning that a Saiyan stomach can handle it, not to mention bugs are a source of protein. Naruto and Jiraiya didn't mind as well considering the sage mode comes from the frogs.
Sage: So how much progress have you guys made in sage mode?
Jiraiya: All in all not bad. I made more progress in these 3 weeks with you guys than I did by myself so far. I can activate sage mode on my own and have frog features but with either f.u.kasaku-sama or s.h.i.+msama I can use the perfect sage mode.
f.u.kasaku: I guess Naruto-chan's influence lit a fire in him.
Naruto: With a little more time I think I may reach perfect sage mode too. After I saw Sage-nii transform, it felt like a ma.s.s of natural energy was surrounding me. I felt dizzy the first time you transformed into the hairy form. Then when I saw the gold fire form I just couldn't breathe. What did you do to get that strong Sage-nii?
Sage: It's only a difference in physique. Since you are an Uzumaki you have way more chakra than other ninjas your age and that's without the Kyuubi.
Naruto: Oh I see. So how is your training progressing Sage-nii?
Sage: I just need a more time, I feel that what I am trying to do is far more difficult than what my initial plan was.
I felt that in order to breakthrough into a golden True Saiyan form I need to be at least Super Saiyan 2 or above, which I am nowhere near. Given enough time I will get through.
Jiraiya: From what I could sense with sage mode is that you made great progress as well. Before, your energy was strong but it was more chaotic, now, not only did you increase it further, it is also in control and much more menacing.
Naruto: So we are leaving today then right? I still need to get my tools and stuff ready for tomorrows finals.
Sage: That's not problem. Jiraiysan what will you be doing? Will you come to the finals tomorrow when Naruto wipes the floor with everybody?
Jiraiya: I'm making a lot of progress now and I don't want to stop but when you become a Chunin Naruto, I will be the first to treat you.
Sage: Ok then, I will bring us back.
I grab Naruto's shoulder and teleport to his house first. We were first greeted by Kus.h.i.+na. Naruto was yelled at for not saying where he was going but when she found out he was with me and Jiraiya training she let it go. I bid them goodbye, told Naruto that I will see him and Kus.h.i.+na tomorrow. Three weeks training and no proper shower, ugh. In the time that we were gone the storyline progressed on the original track, where Dosu Kinuta died at the hands of Gaara and Hayate Gekko at the hands of the Sunagakure. Since Hayate was supposed to referee the finals as well, he was replaced by Genma s.h.i.+ranui after his death.
