The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 1 Chapter 30 Training At Mt. Kumagadake
Two days later, with a huge backpack
Shuichi reached Showa hills, He went to the entrance cave and disappeared.
He reappeared at Mt. Kumagadake or Mt. Kuma for short. When he saw the beautiful scenery once again “yes, I came to the right place”.
This time the black bear appeared beside him “Shuichi kun”. Shuichi turned toward him and bowed “Hello, Toma sama. I’ll be here for the next 30 days. If you don’t mind”. He smiled “of course not. You are welcome here at all times. come let’s go”.
They went to his house. while he was looking at all different types of bears, He looked at a cute little panda which was munching on bamboo shoots.
When that panda looked at him, it smiled and began to run towards him at a moderate speed. It shouted Shuichi kun while running and after reaching him, it hugged him but due to its size, it was only able to reach his legs.
Shuichi upon looking at this cute creature smiled and gave a pat on his head. “It’s been a while Teika kun”. Toma asked “oh! do you know this kid?”. “yeah, he was the only one I summoned till now”.
“Teika kun, we will talk later. I need to go”. he nodded and ran off to somewhere.
upon reaching the house, Toma shouted: “Hako, we’re here”. she came out in a hurry “Shuichi kun, it’s been a while”.
Shuichi bowed “Hako sama”. before he said his purpose “Hako, Shuichi kun going to stay here with us for the next month”. she instantly smiled “really?”. Shuichi nodded “Ah! by the way, just like I told you before, I brought a variety number of seasoning, grains and cooking equipment with me. I also brought many histories and various types of books for you two read just like you asked”.
He took out a various number of things. He put all of them over to the side and said “Instead of being awkward every time, you can also grow these things I eat. I will tell you how to cook them. you can cook them for me every time. I hope I’m not being rude”.
She waved while smiling “no, we lived for a long time to care about such things Shuichi kun. You are our family now. so, don’t need to be so polite while you are talking”.
“Ah! I didn’t mention my reason for coming here. a few days ago, I told you about something called chunin exams right. Then…”. He went on telling his story. They were shocked that this polite boy in front was way different from his story.
“The first reason is that I’m looking for to solve my problem. The second thing is that I want to train at a place like this where no one would disturb my training. Not to mention, my training here may also motivate some of the lazy ones just like you said”. Toma nodded “Yeah, that’s right. you did the right thing by coming here Shuichi kun”.
Later, after having lunch, Shuichi followed Hoka and Toma while they were walking together. Hoka sniffed with little tears in her eyes “I lived my past 1300 years in vain. Why does none of the previous contractors don’t know about it?”. She suddenly became very angry while thinking about them.
Toma replied to her “well, you can’t blame them. They all lived in a world where there are too many territorial battles every day”.
Shuichi quietly followed them. They soon reached a podium which is as big as a training ground. Hoka closed her eyes and after a second, The land started to shake and Shuichi fell on his butt. “What’s happening?”. Toma replied, “just wait for a while”. The ground started to share even more vigorously and yet these two 3 ft bears standing there as if nothing is happening.
Suddenly, it became dark. He mumbled, “It’s already dark?”. Then he screamed when he saw a huge bear face just a foot away from him. it’s at least Twice big as him probably more.
Toma then said, “Stand up Shuichi kun”. Then he not only saw sunlight but also 7-8 bears standing in a circle around him. Each one was at least 20m-25m tall whey they stood on their two legs. Judging by record if they stand on two feet these eight bears before him, would be even bigger than Kyuubi. Of course, it’s only about the sheer size. The biggest one Ike spoke “Oh! it’s Shuichi kun”.
He stood in a daze while looking at them. When he saw him the first time he felt terrified, but now that they are his summons, he felt an unknown connection to them which reduced his fear completely.
hako looked at them “now, introduce yourselves to this kid”. They immediately obeyed “Hello, I’m Ike”. A back bear spoke “Soshu”. “Shiho”. “Yoko” “Eiri” “Jiro” “Matsuta” and lastly the lazy Giant Panda which is sitting on its two legs with its eyes closed didn’t speak but fallen sleep in just a minute of idleness.
hako immediately got angry. She disappeared and appeared on his head. She made a fist and punched the head of Giant panda’s with her little hands.
Shuichi almost laughed when he saw the gesture but the rest of the 7 bears seemed to be terrified of her. Immediately he heard a loud sound and closed his eyes and ears by instinct. But when he opened his eyes,
His eyes almost bulged out upon seeing that Giant Panda got knocked out with a giant bump on his head. Then he saw other bears faces of how they are terrified. He was stunned to this little bear who is half of the size of him has that much strength. He mumbled with a smile on his face “I know bears were known to have high physical strength. but I didn’t think it was this much high. No wonder they said, in the future, I may have a chance to summon them.
Next day in the morning,
While Shuichi was training with Shadow clones, Tamo interrupted his training “Hako told me to ask you whether you want to learn our Clan fighting style”.
He got excited for a second “sure”. but a few seconds later, he was disappointed when he heard “I mean not now, In the future. because It needed you to sense Natural energy around you. Then, it needed you to draw the natural energy inside your body, blending with own chakra to create Senjutsu chakra. In one word, you need to become a Sage”.
“Sage?”. then suddenly thought of Jiraya “wasn’t he called Toad Sage or something?”. “Then how do I become a Sage?”. Toma shook his head “you can’t become one yet. to become one, you need to have a large number of chakra reserves. If you don’t have enough, the natural energy would immediately overwhelm you and you will cease to exist. I think you still need to wait 2-3 years before thinking about it”. “Oh,” disappointment was clearly showing on Shuichi’s face. “I’m sorry if you get your hopes up. I should’ve brought it up later”.
“No, it’s okay. I understand. you lived for more than 1000 years, so for you, 2-3 years isn’t much. so, you might have brought it up now. Anyway. I will continue my training”. “oh! by the way, do meditation daily and feel natural energy around you but don’t try to absorb it. Meditation will also help with your problem a little”. He nodded.
One month later, The day of Chunin finals.
The Arena was packed with everyone. Hiashi, Hanabi sat together in the VIP section while Hinata stands with her teammates at the top. The third Hokage who sat with the Fourth Kazekage looked to be embarrassed as Three candidates who belonged to Konoha hasn’t appeared yet.
Even though they still had time left, if those three will not come in time, then three of the four matches will be done by default.
