6 Rasengan (2/2)

”I think I can master Rasengan in about a week or so now. I'll focus on forming more shadow clones for now.” Naruto said he did hand seals for shadow clone jutsu and with puffs deflated Naruto no.3 appeared beside him.

”Take a rest for now. I'll go and create some wooden shuriken in the meantime.” Naruto no.2 said as he jumped towards the tree branches.

”I know, I know,” Naruto said as he laid on the ground and closed his eyes.

”So how's my best friend doing?” Naruto said as he opened his eyes in the vast grassland.

”I'd do better with this cage but I'm good. So brat you got more stories of yours. My ears have been itching for a while now.” Kurama said as he perked up his ears.

It had been a year since Naruto started talking with Kurama. While there was nothing to talk about he had started to talk about the fictional stories from his other words. Marvel stories, DC stories, some Chinese cultivation stories as well as some Japanese ones.

While talking about stories Naruto never brought up talks about using his power and Kurama slowly got used to the stories as well. While he was surprised by the number of stories Naruto had he never questioned him how he knew so many of them. For him listening the youngster was enough.

”Hm, how about the story about Monkey King Wukong then,” Naruto said as he went near the gate and leaned his back against the steel and sat down.

”The four tails ape. No, skip it. I want another story. It would be great you have some story of the great demon Lord Nine-tails.” Kurama instantly denied.

”It's not about the four tails. Its an ancient story belonging to a different land. Just listen. I don't have any other story at the moment.” Naruto said as he started to think how the story went.

Telling stories to Kurama was one of the ways to remember his old home. It helped him create a bond of sorts for Naruto with Kurama. At least they could be considered friends now. it was impossible to do a transformation but he could see himself going Nine-tailed mode in the future.

After the daily dose of storytelling, Naruto came back to the woods with Naruto no.2 sitting near him who was sharpening wooden shuriken with the sword given to him by Yugao. A pile of shuriken in the ground beside him along with wood chips lying around.

”Let's start throwing,” Naruto said standing up as he went pick the shuriken. The wooden shurikens were harmless but Naruto's goal was to increase his throwing power and accuracy. As for shadow shuriken jutsu, it was a story for another day.
