Training from my supporters

As the three of us step into the training field the two of them talked something over with each other. With one nodding to the other, the one who nodded walked off to a near by tree where he sat down and waited. "Alright, I will be your first teacher for today. I know we haven't introduced ourselves yet so I shall get on with that. My name is Kazuma Terumi. I am a Ninjutsu specialist. That one over there is my twin brother, Asuma Terumi. He is a Taijutsu specialist." I bow to the both of them out of respect for finally knowing their names it felt great to have such supporters on my side. With these two here I could possibly become even stronger than before. I can only hope so anyway, they are both Chunin and seem to be rather respected. "I am experienced with Earth and Fire Style elements. Since you are a Water Element I can't say I can help you much there but maybe one of your other elements is Earth or Fire. We shall find out now." Right at that moment Kazuma pulled out a white piece of paper and handed it to me. With a smile on his face he then prepared to give me the instructions. "Now then, we know about your water element, now is the time to find out which element is your secondary. Go on pour some chakra into that piece of paper." Putting some of my chakra into the paper it began to turn into a dirt like color. After completely turning into a dirt color it began to crumble away until there was nothing left. "Ha, I knew you would be an Earth Style user just like me! This is so awesome! Now then let's get started on teaching you how to use the element."

"Hey Kazuma, make sure you teach him fast but not wear him out. He has an intense Taijutsu lesson after he learns some Earth stuff." Kazuma looked over at his brother and waved at him. "Hey no worries, this won't take long. Out of all the styles Earth is actually the easiest to learn."

When he said that I only shook my head as I thought Water was the easiest to master. To each their own of course. "Now then Koga, with this chakra element there is really not much to it. Just try to turn your chakra into solid rock basically. Go on, give it a try." Nodding I quickly cup my hands openly in front of me as I then poured chakra into my hands. Then a dark substance began to form in the cups of my hands. It only stuck around for a short while before crumbling into dust rather quickly, almost as fast as it formed. "That almost looked like dirt. So with this element I can create the stuff for the jutsu as well?" Kazuma only smiled as he was happy I was catching onto things rather easily. "That's right Koga, that is why I said this element was rather easy to learn and use. As it does not require any prior earth to be around to perform the jutsu. The user can create the earth within their body. Now you see why I said it was so easy?" Looking down at my hands I knew what he was saying had to be true. If this was a fact I could use the earth style to make traps to set up for my water style. This way even with low amount of water around I won't have to waste a single drop. "Alright, I think I understand how to use this Earth element already. Let me try it again."

Forming the cup in my hands once more I begin to slowly pour the chakra into the center between my hands. It took a few moments but once the chakra was built up the dirt began to form once more. This time I made a chakra barrier around the dirt to keep it from crumbling away. After the dirt had become fully formed within my hands, I used the barrier around the dirt to compress it at high velocity levels. Doing so made the dirt become hard and more solid. After a while of doing this stone began to form and the more chakra that was added the bigger it became. Until finally a boulder was formed and I jumped back to let it fall to the ground. Looking at the boulder I managed to create I could only feel impressed with this element. It not only allowed me to form new earth but reshape it as well. It was during this moment I began to think, 'What if I mixed the Earth and Water style?', the earth being the base of life and water being the nutrients of life. For the time being I placed this thought in the back of my mind. I have only just mastered Earth style. For now I can just learn the basics then move on up to higher more stronger jutsu.

Looking over at Kazuma with a grin on my face, I speak very warmly to him. "So, I guess I have figured out your Earth Element. Now got any cool jutsu to teach me to go along with this new element or is it just for show?" I waited for his answer and could see that Asuma was starting to grow impaitent about starting the Taijutsu lessons. With both of them eager to teach me all this stuff out of the kindness of their hearts, I began to feel like I might have some friends here. "Yes, I shall teach you the jutsu. However, I want us to form a personal team within the Village. This way when one of us gets assigned a mission all of us go. It also works for war as well, our combination techniques will be even higher after we train some more. So what do you say Koga? Will you lead this team?" This little outburst from Kazuma shocked me to the core, I was not expecting such a thing to come out randomly. Smiling I then give him an answer that only I could give at this time. "I accept this position. We shall be called Gama. Our goal is simple, to protect the Hidden Leaf with our lives." Both of them smiled as well out of joy with Kazuma running up to me putting his arm around me in a brotherly way and slugging me in the arm. "Good now that is the spirit! Now let's teach you some jutsu so Asuma over there doesn't kill me in my sleep for taking too long."

Kazuma finally let me go after keeping me in a head lock for several minutes. I regain my composure then stand ready to watch him perform a new jutsu for me. He stood ready to perform a jutsu. "Now watch closely Koga, this jutsu is the most basic of Earth Style. So you should be able to perform this jutsu easily." After the short explaination Kazuma formed the hand signs to use the jutsu. " Earth Style; Earth wall!" Slamming his hand into the ground, the jutsu was performed without a hitch and a large wall was formed in front of Kazuma. He then stood up and looked over at Koga before giving more information. "As you can see this one is fairly basic. My father learned it during the Fourth war and passed it to me. Now you shall learn it. Give it a try." Stepping forward I knew that this jutsu had to be easy since it was passed onto Kazuma's father during the Fourth war. Forming the hand signs I wasted no time building up the chakra I needed. "Earth Style; Earth wall!"

Slamming my hand into the ground it formed a fairly large wall but it was very thin at this time. As it turned out my chakra was still adjusting to the earth element. So a perfect success was not to be expected yet. Kazuma did look impressed at what I was able to do on my first try. "Just keep practicing you will be fine with this jutsu in no time. But let's teach you one more jutsu then after that Asuma can have you for a bit." The two of them prepared to have one last jutsu lesson before Asuma took over as Koga's teacher.

"Ok Koga time for some more ninjutsu training..." Just then Asuma jumped into between the two of us. Both myself and Kazuma looked at him confused as to what he was up to. He then turned to me and spoke to his brother on the subject. "My turn for a short while. I got a few Taijutsu to teach him before we call it a day. Bad enough that Earth stuff took too long." Kazuma only smiled as he walked over to the side lines and sat down to observe. "Very well, He's all yours Asuma. Do go easy on him brother." Asuma only nodded as he then began to walk over to a tree. With his muscles flexing Asuma punched the tree and broke it, causing the tree to fall. "So as you can observe I was able to break this tree with a single punch. This is a fighting style called Strong Fist. It was developed by Might Guy to teach his student Rock Lee. Now I'm going to teach it to you. Line up with a tree and show me a punch."

Stepping up to a tree I quickly throw a punch and barely make the tree vibrate in place. Looking at my fist I knew my strength was not yet up to par with Taijutsu. With that in mind I wasted no time in throwing another punch at the tree only to put a small dent in the bark. "I can see that you are persistant. Try putting your focus of chakra into your punches. Since they couldn't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, it was the only hope of using their chakra." With this new information in mind I began to focus my chakra into my hands as I prepare for another strike. Pulling my arm back I prepare to throw the punch as the chakra finished building up into my hand. Throwing the punch with all of my strength, I managed to hit the tree and nearly break it in half but it only went half way through.

"It seems you have the technique right but lack the overall output of the attack. But just remember this fighting style is needed to be used in a moments notice to defeat the enemies. Now then, since you understand the basics of this technique I will now teach you some basic Taijutsu." I looked over at Asuma who seemed to move at a much faster pace than his brother. This Taijutsu stuff was very useful however since close combat cannot always be avoided. This training was just what I needed to become stronger and stick out amoung the other candidates. The next technique was only basic however but everyone has to start somewhere. Hopefully this next technique would become useful in the near future and possibly on future missions. Only now all I can do is wait to see what happens next.

Standing there catching my breath, I could only hope that the worst of the training was over at this point. Just about to sit down when Asuma appeared next to me and grabbed my arm and held me off the ground. "We are far from done. The strong fist is only the first step of many. Now you must learn some more techniques." Just then Kazuma appeared and placed his hand on Asuma's shoulder and pointed at the sky. Asuma only sighed as he then let go of me and then pulled some scrolls out of his back pouch and put them on the ground in front of me. "Learn a few of those techniques before you call it a night. Me and Kazuma have to take off to a Chunin meeting and shall resume this training tomorrow." I barely had a moment long enough to give them a nod before they both took off.

Having this time to myself I honesty pondered on the fact of I should work on my elemental chakra some more or work on the Taijutsu. There was so much to consider but this elemental training had to be done in secret. The ability that was to come from this training would be a feat only two other known shinobi have accomplished. However with this new element jutsu protecting the village would be much easier than before. Possibly even gain back an ally for the village whom disappeared along with Lord Seventh but had reappeared somewhere else. To reunite the village along with the rest of the world would be the end goal. Unified peace once more would be something great to have again. Now was the time to take the strength given to him and learn to use it.

Forming a single hand sign, I begin to form earth and water chakra within myself to mix it. After half of my body was filled with each on one side I pulled them both into the center of my body and began to form a few hand signs ending with snake. With the final hand sign formed the elements within him began to meld together to form something new. With this complete I poured the chakra out of myself and a set of ten pillars appeared around the area in front of me. It was made of wood, could this be the legendary wood style that my ancestor Hashirama Senju could use? Looking at the ability sitting right in front of me it was confirmed, I had my ancestor's power. With this power I could turn the tide of any battle in my favor and end the conflict. Perhaps this was the whole reason I was chosen to be a candidate for Hokage.

Standing there thinking about what all was possible with this jutsu style, I could not help but wonder if it was endless. Along with the wood style I could use the Water and Earth Style as well. This was going to be fun learning more combinations with the jutsu I already had and push it even harder. The game style was about to change as I build up my chakra to try out another jutsu from the wood style.

Keeping my chakra built up, I continued to create even more wood style chakra within myself. At this point in time there was only one jutsu in mind that I could think of to do. The jutsu is what made Hashirama Senju so famous. This jutsu was the famous, Wood Style; Deep Forest Creation, a jutsu that could create an entire forest if the user desired it to happen. I planned to use this jutsu to reshape the world and make it into a more peaceful existence. Unfortunately with the loss of the Kage all of the lands have begun to start hiding themselves away from everyone. It was like they all feared showing themselves. Forming the hand signs for the jutsu as I knew them by heart, I prepared my chakra for this technique. Now was the time to surpass my ancestor and take the top seat for myself. "Wood style; Deep forest creation!" After forming the snake hand sign the ground began to shutter under my feet as many trees began to emerge from the ground at a rapid rate. After the trees stopped growing I looked down at the ground with a smile on my face as it was a fairly large tree.

"Guess this jutsu is mine now. I should use it in very small amounts to avoid using up my chakra too quickly." I said this knowing that I was alone in this area for the time being. This however was not to be true for long so wrapping this up was important.

Deciding to keep the wood style a secret for now until a specific level of mastery of the chakra was achieved, I decided to not tell anyone. Not even my own team members of Gama. The wood style has been a sacred style of the Hidden Leaf since its founding, if an enemy was to find out it would mean trouble for the village. Jumping down from the tree branch by branch, I slowly reach the ground and stand up on my two feet. Looking around to make sure no one saw me use it, I walk away to the other side of the area to just pretend I was not over there. Now it was onto learning some of Asuma's stuff.

Opening the scroll that I had recieved from Asuma before he left, I read around to see what I could learn. All he could see was a bunch of Taijutsu techniques that did not seem as good as Night Phoenix. Only one that seemed to stick out was Leaf Hurricane. This was a kicking technique that had a lot of power behind it. Perhaps would serve as a good counter attack or surprise attack.

Putting the scroll down I then begin to stretch out my legs and arms to prepare to practice this Taijutsu. After I finished stretching I then jump at a tree and spin while im in the air using my legs to propel myself around. Once I got close to the tree I then throw three kicks at it with my full force of the Strong Fist style. The technique launched without a hitch and I landed on the ground standing straight up as if I never launched an attack. "That was almost too easy for me. I hope the next ability is much more challenging than this." Finishing up I then walk to a tree and sit under it to try and take a quick nap to rest up for the next section of my training.

While I was getting some rest I then hear a rustle in the trees around me and I quickly stand to my feet to prepare for the worst. "So you are Koga Senju, the last of the clan. I guess the gang missed you in our initial attack." This disembodied voice then let out a sadistic laughter as if it was possessed by a demon. Standing with a Kunai knife at the ready I then bring up the courage to speak. "Just who are you guys? What do you want from me?!" The voice seemed to get closer and closer to me as the minutes went by. "We are the Kagarashi Gang. We aim to take over the world and end this little peaceful farce in the world. However the Hagoromo Clan is the main force of this group and we are aiming for revenge against the Uchiha and Senju Clan for the Warring states era! You people left us for dead when your clans formed the Hidden Leaf Village those many years ago! Now is the time for our revenge and with the Kagarashi Gang backing us up there will be nothing left to stop us. Just be ready boy, we are coming for you real soon." The voice faded after that and I could no longer feel the presence of someone near. However from what the voice was saying it was declaring war on the world and was after the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan for a rivalry from years ago. This was only the beginning to what will become an all out war.

Standing there in a daze, I quickly begin to process the information that was just given to me. "Hagoromo Clan, The Kagarashi Gang, who are those people? Why are they attacking the village and its people?" I stood there puzzled then Kazuma appeared and ran over to me. "Koga we heard there was a commotion over here and I rushed here as quick as I could. What happened?" I only stood there with a blank look on my face then I told Kazuma about the Hagoromo Clan and their feud with the Uchiha and Senju clans as well as the Kagarashi Gang being involved. Both stood there in silence trying to process everything thus far. Asuma soon appeared behind Kazuma, he was patrolling the area around the training area. No sighting of the person whom showed up and confronted me.

"This is getting dangerous for the village. Perhaps we should confront the higher ups and get permission to launch an attack?" Kazuma only shook his head and looked over at Koga. "This is not just our fight ya'know. Koga's entire clan was killed by these people. So I say we use Team Gama for the first time and attack them together. Individually we are weak but perhaps together we can be strong." I only walk away to face the river as I begin to weigh in on all the details going on and formulate a plan of attack. "Koga? What do you say? Want to go take these bastards on full force?" I only shake my head in disagreement with Asuma and Kazuma. We had too little information on the group opposing us. This was a suicide mission if we went in now with how we were. "Our team is incomplete. We cannot launch an attack as we are. First we need a medical ninja and someone good at tracking. After that we have to go through strategies and combat practice so we can gauge each other and learn how to do combination attacks as a team. If we accomplish all that then we will be able to take them on head on." Asuma and Kazuma both stood there with a smile on their face and nodded to me giving me their approval. Just then we heard the bushes rustling once more. This time all three of us stood on the ready to counter attack who it might be. "Show yourself! Who are you?!"

Just then a woman appeared out of the bushes. Looking at her I could not help notice how attractive she was. She had a slender body build and had long black hair that reached down to her shoulders. With a medium size bust and muscle tone I would say she was not a full on combat shinobi but could be something else. She began to try and speak with a very soft tone to her voice. "Hello, I am Risa Nohara. I was in the area practicing my chakra control for my medical training. I'm sorry if I'm intruding but I would like to make a request. Let me be your medical ninja, please! I don't want to be a medical ninja trapped in the hospital all the time. I just want to be in the field just like everyone else. So please accept my request!" She quickly got down on her hands and knees and bowed to the three of us standing there. I began to blush feeling like I might have met the girl for me. Holding my hand up I block Kazuma and Asuma from making a decision as I decided on my own. "Very well, I accept your request to join Team Gama. I do have a request for you as well. Teach me some medical ninjutsu as well. So I can lead you guys without worry." Risa looks up with a smile on her face and nodding accepting my request as well. I knew that this girl was something special and I vowed to protect her with my very life.

"Okay, so we now have our medical ninja and that just leaves the tracking person. I am just concerned on where we will find one that is not of one of the various clans running for Hokage. You know they won't give up their chance of Hokage to join us." All of us stood there wondering on what we could do at this point since there were not many named shinobi left in the village. Since the flash everyone was just a bunch of nameless people who were now making a name for themselves to fill the gap left by those who vanished. Most shinobi were not even that strong which explained why Risa was not the greatest medical ninja at this moment since she was just stepping up herself to fill the gap left by Sakura Uchiha and Tsunade. The search for this tracking ninja was going to be tough unless they reached into the Anbu ranks of the village.

Asuma and Kazuma decided to survey the area and see if they could find any clues. Leaving myself and Risa here alone to hammer out details on her joining the group. After a short while she pulled out a scroll and placed it on the ground. Looking down at it I saw instructions for learning medical ninjutsu and many other things. Risa then pointed to one part of the scroll and began to offer an explanation. "So the basics of medical ninjutsu is fairy simple. Its basically all chakra control. If you can learn to manage control of your chakra and flow it into the wounds you wish to heal you can cause the cells of the body to rapidly rebuild and recover." Getting a basic understanding of what medical ninjutsu was I began to focus my chakra into my hands. Within the matter of moments Risa summoned a dead fish onto another scroll and began to give an instruction on what to do. "Now apply that onto this fish. If you do it right the fish should come back to life."

Holding both of my hands over the fish I quickly begin to push my chakra into the fish. Before I noticed the fish began to spring to life and I stopped putting my chakra into it.

"Good job Koga, you seem to have a pretty good grasp on the knowledge with very little help. Now we can get you to learn some basics so you can be even stronger in combat and outside of combat."

I just stood up and smiled as I learned a new skill in the world. With the medical ability at my back I intended to use it to better the village when I became Hokage. Possibly even organize the Med-corp and make the village functional again. Awaiting Risa's instruction, I knew my medical training was not over yet.

After a short little while of rest everyone stood up and prepared for the next part of my training. Nothing was going to be easy since I was set up to become the next Hokage in their eyes, perhaps even most of the village. Asuma came forward and looked directly at me. "Koga, your skill as a shinobi to learn jutsu and other things are excellent but your hand sign skills are very low. Speed and accuracy of the sign is very important." Kazuma only nodded, agreeing with Asuma with Risa not too far behind in agreeing with him. I only stood there and looked at my hands making a few signs. It was true my skill was very low and I would be useless in combat at this rate. Due to being in a new strange world war was going to be unavoidable with the outsiders. "Very well, I shall start my practice now. We need me up to par if not higher to keep this village safe." Forming a few hand signs I quickly observed a few short cuts to making the signs a little quicker. Even if it was slightly my skill with it increased. I continued to make hand signs while the others observed.

Hand signs level 1 216/200wc

Continuing my practice with the hand signs I quickly find myself either going too slow or being inaccurate. Getting a little frustrated I stand there with my hands held up so I can look at my hands. Closing my eyes for a second I realize that i was getting too impatient and needed to calm down before trying once more. Taking in a deep breath I start to clear my mind of any heavy thoughts. Exhaling the air I blow out all worries within my thoughts. With my head now cleared I could continue onward with my training. Forming a few more and signs and quickly I began to gain some ground with this.

"It seems like he has gotten a better grip on this training. Just a little bit longer and we should have him up to par with hand signs." The other two nodded in agreement about my progress. It was surprising I could survive this long with what little training I did have. It could all be counted down to pure luck or I just had a powerful guardian angel out there. Which ever it was I was very lucky to survive this long. "After a little more we should train him in Shuriken use. It appears for the most part he has been relying on his Ninjutsu and Taijutsu to get by. We should train him with those ranged weapons." Everyone nodded as I continued to work with my hand sign skills.
