He would train his body intensely from tomorrow morning to prepare for the said disaster. Or he could just let Asuma join in their fun.
…
"Damn! I finally got some time to train."
Reko began to stretch his stiff body, preparing for his physical training.
"Didn't know she could be this demanding…"
He recalled the time he had spent with Kurenai.
Kurenai did not take long to recover from the bathhouse session and came stronger this time.
In the night, she had come to his house unannounced. Her intentions were obvious. Tsume was not there with them and this allowed her to hog Reko all for herself.
It took him another two days to satiate Kurenai completely. His schedule for the last two days was eating with Kurenai, eating her pussy, and then letting her eat his cum together with lots of thrusting and penetration.
Finally, he had time for his training after the exciting homestay for so long.
Just right after he left his house, he met a suspicious individual. The individual carried a message from Danzo, a message about the meeting of the clan heads.
It was about the trouble some of the Akatsuki members were causing.
Honestly, it was hard for the village members in the meeting to understand why there were so many S rank shinobi together in a group.
What could make a bunch of unruly S ranks come and work together?
Was there really something they needed to group up for?
Were they forced to obey the orders of the mysterious group leader?
There were many such questions in their minds but there were no answers.
The meeting concluded, the outcome of this meeting was to safeguard their Jinchuriki and prepare for another attack.
"Well, it is good that they are preparing for the defense. This is really going to be a pretty strong attack on the village."
Reko believed that it was better if the clans were already preparing for the worst.
"Though, it is almost impossible to defend against. But being prepared would help nonetheless."
However, he was also aware that it would not work in their favour. An ability from the most powerful dojutsu was a literal meteorite. There was no way to defend against it.
At least not for now.
…
"Disappointing! Not only disrespectful but also lazy."
"Hmm?"
Reko heard murmurs from behind. But the man was a stranger, his chakra as well as his voice were new to him.
'Why is he talking to me like that? I don't even know him. Neither personally nor professionally.'
As he glanced back, he saw Kakashi, walking in his direction, eyeing him.
"You were with Tsume before Kurenai. Do they know?"
Unexpectedly, Kakashi asked him something very personal.
His voice was laced with a hostile tone.
Reko was surprised. Did he ever antagonise Kakashi? He was just thinking about the future as he lazed around.
He didn't recall doing so. He had never ever communicated with that guy.
"Kurenai? She willingly joined Tsume."
He gave a curt reply to Kakashi.
"And why do you know about this? Were you spying on them?"
"Is the famous dojutsu being used like that? To spy on ladies?"
Curious about the reason for this unexpected hostility, he asked some questions bordering on accusations of perverted crimes.
Also, it was a genuine question. How would Kakashi know about it? Was he spying on him? There was no way it was a coincidence for him.
"You have quite a strong opinion against me."
Kakashi did not seem to be bothered with Reko's tone and his accusations.
"Just like your bias against me."
Reko shrugged, it was Kakashi who started it.
"You do realise that I am your senior by a decade, right? Or did beating Asuma made you very confident?"
Kakashi stepped closer, his eyes turned cold, distant. His half covered face seemed angry.
"Oh, I see. You've come to avenge your weak friend. Truly commendable!"
Reko smiled in amusement. He finally understood the reason behind Kakashi's actions.
It was because his friend Asuma was beaten pretty badly by a youngster. But Reko had thought that things would be over with Tsunade's stern warning.
He did not expect Kakashi to come forward for his friend when someone like Kurenai didn't seem to be bothered.
'A level 80? I am pretty sure defeating him would be pretty easy for me.'
Reko was excited to have a good fight against Kakashi. His posture changed, prepared for a fight.
Also, a fight against Kakashi would be pretty effective in testing his combat strength.
"I was not very sure about your personality but it seems that Asuma was correct."
Kakashi raised his eyebrows after hearing Reko's reply.
"You are being summoned by the Hokage. I have come to notify you of that."
He relaxed his body, putting his hands back into his trouser's pockets as he turned to head back to the Hokage.
"As for the revenge part, I am not motivated to do it. He will take care of it by himself."
Kakashi answered without facing Reko. He was aware of the spar between Asuma and Reko. In fact, he did not even believe that Reko was wrong.
If he was asked to be tested by another shinobi who was far weaker than him, then he would have also done the same.
Though, it was a little sad that it happened to one of his close friends but what could he do? Kurenai herself didn't seem to be bothered.
There's no way he could help Asuma in this matter.
'It is good that he has gotten motivated from this defeat and began to train intensely.'
Asuma had begun to train after the defeat. The pathetic loss became his motivation for revenge and training.
'Although, it doesn't matter anymore. Would he be capable of surpassing Reko who has inherited all of Lady Tsunade's skills?'
Kakashi was here to call Reko for the training that was supposed to begin after the week. The schedule was moved forward because of the outcome of the meeting.
Tsunade was in a hurry to finish training Reko and Sakura.
…
"You are here. Let's begin."
Tsunade was seated in her chair, waiting for Kakashi and Reko to arrive. Shizune and Sakura were already present.
"Wasn't it supposed to begin after a week?"
Reko questioned in confusion. He was planning to learn Flying Raijin and he needed time for that. He was getting better at sensing the special marks. So, his clones were all working on it.
Also, he had plans for tonight.
"About that, things happened. Jiraya found some clues about a potential enemy. So, we decided to move things forward."
Tsunade sighed, her forehead scrunched in worry. She had just inherited the position of the Hokage because there was no other shinobi capable of it.
But now, there was yet another problem to deal with. A group of rogue S-rank shinobis against the village just after the Chunin exam incident .
"Your training time might also decrease as we don't have much time to waste."
Though Tsunade said that the training time would decrease, Reko was not bothered. Tsunade would not leave before teaching Sakura and that would give him enough time to learn and address all his problems.
"You can leave, Kakashi."
Kakashi left after leaving a scroll at Tsunade's desk which she quickly opened and finished reading.
"Let's go."
Tsunade ordered, moving out of the room after Kakashi left.
'That eye. He had it covered all the time but I could still feel the strange chakra emitting out from it.'
Reko followed Kakashi's movements, he could not help but imagine the help those eyes could provide in learning space time ninjutsu like Flying Raijin, especially an eye with latent Kamui.
'Now that I have such high chakra control, would I even need my Steal? It's better if I could stack them all together and steal a Kekkei genkai instead.'
He was more than capable of learning all techniques with his current chakra control. His progress in Flying Raijin could also be attributed to the increased sensitivity to chakra.
'A pair of Sharingan or Rinnegan would be a good trade for a permanent Steal slot.'
Not that he didn't need it but most of his skills were already at the level where only A or S rank skills would matter.
'Anyways, I still have to learn Senjutsu, Space time technique, and Tsunade's signature skills. Kekkei genkai can wait.'
Still, he had this chance to use Steal on Jiraya and learn the toad Senjutsu. If not from Jiraya, he could also use it on his summon to learn Hamster sage mode.
'A Jonin level charge would be enough for that.'
He believed that a Jonin level charge would be enough for him to learn or at least initiate with Sage mode.
'They are looking suspiciously at me. Why is that so?'
As he waited in the middle of the training ground, he could see suspicious glances aimed at him.
'Kakashi was also.. wait!!'
'If Kakashi is aware then they must also know about it. About the time I have spent with Kurenai and Tsume.'
No wonder he was getting looks, with how rude he was acting, there was no way Kakashi would not have mentioned it already.
"Summoning Jutsu"
Tsunade used the summoning Jutsu after nicking her finger.
As expected, a huge summon appeared in front of them. The size of the summon was as big as a house, surprising everyone.
"These are the ones I am training. He is Reko, and she is Sakura."
"Hello."
Tsunade's summon, Katsuyu, greeted after Tsunade introduced her students to her.
"Hey."
"Hello."
"She is Lady Katsuyu and she would be taking you to the sacred land of her tribe for training."
Explaining the need to call her summon, Tsunade explained how they would need the exact environment of the sacred land to practice the skills they were going to be taught next.
"Alright, let's leave."
Tsunade nodded at her summon, signalling to begin.
Katsuyu nodded with her giant head and soon, small identical clones of her began to separate from her body. The smaller sized clones moved to everyone, coming in contact with them to transport.
Instantly, they were reverse summoned to one of the sacred lands, Lady Katsuyu's tribe's home.
"Ohh, this place is so full of life."
It was unbelievable for Reko. He could feel the vibrant energy of the world in this place. His already heightened senses improved further.
'If it is this place, then I would not have any problem learning Flying Raijin.'
The heightened senses made him believe that practicing the space time technique would be more than twice effective in this place.
"Indeed. It is."
The small sized clone on Reko's shoulder answered with a smile.
The place was like a big garden, a perfect picnic spot. It had few lakes, giant but beautiful trees and some beautiful flowers.
"You would change your opinion very soon."
Tsunade plucked a red cherry like fruit from the nearby plant and threw it to both Sakura and Reko.
Shizune on the other hand began to pluck a few plants from different plants and some other materials, already familiar with the place.
Accepting the fruit, Reko decided to consume them. Believing that the fruit would give him some sort of aid in what was going to come next.
Unexpectedly, his body began to feel hot. He was feeling as if he was under a giant fireball, about to be incinerated.
Sakura was in no better position than him. She was also sweating like crazy, already fumbling.
"Quick! Jump in the lake."
Tsunade instructed them to jump in the water. She had fed them a fruit special to this sacred land. The unique fruit burned the chakra in the body, purifying it as it recovered.
This constant burning increased the quality of the chakra, allowing better control and proficiency.
But that was not it, when consuming the fruit, the user could experience permanent chakra loss. So, jumping into the slimy pond allowed them to regenerate their chakra faster, tackling the problem of permanent chakra loss.
'With this, their chakra loss would be limited to 10%.'
Tsunade thought as she glanced at them. She did not want them to experience this but they didn't have much time.
The clean looking pond was infact made from the secretion of the slimes. The water or fluid inside the pond was not gentle. Instead, it was acidic, burning the surface level, skin, with ease.
