After coming into Konoha and validating their passports, Team Boomerang had split up. Splitting up in a new village where you were vastly outnumbered by ninja that weren’t necessarily friendly wasn’t all that wise, but this fact was oblivious to Yuu, as he walked…or better stealthily crouched, through the city, observing the people and smelling the exotic scents. This place…it felt like home. The smell of wood, grass, leaves and the temperature all made Yuu feel welcome.
Yuu entered various shops, some clothing stores, other food stores, but didn’t see anything particularly of interest until he went into a book store…and not just any book store, an erotic book store.
If anyone knew what Yuu got up to on his time off, they would know that he was fascinated with human behaviour, especially their strange mating rituals, and so this place had a lot of information that interested him.
Looking through the books, Yuu found one written by a ‘Jiraiya’ called ‘Make Out Paradise.’ Yuu’s reading skill were much better than his speaking, so he could read and understand most of the words, though not many of the important ones that he would not have learnt from the old crone, like ‘sex’ and ‘erotic jutsu.’ Seeing another book called ‘The Encyclopaedia of Erotic Ninjutsu’ caught Yuu’s eye as well, mainly because it had two words he didn’t know, one being that in the other book he had taken from the shelf, and ninjutsu…which happened to be one of his favourite words.
Holding the two books, Yuu went to walk out of the door, reading them, before a voice stopped him.
“Oi! You gotta pay for those!...Stupid foreigner…” the shop clerk’s voice yowled.
Yuu just looked at him like a stunned mullet. Pay? Foreigner? He tried to piece it together in his head.
Hello, you need to …something… for those…books? Stupid…something…- Hello, you need to…be able to read…for those books. Stupid animal?
The context was off, but people had called him a stupid animal before, and didn’t expect him to be able to read, so in his mind it made sense, so he walked over to the shop clerk at the desk, who now seemed a little less flustered as Yuu approached.
Yuu put down the book, opening it to a page.
“Yuu can read. I Show you.” Tracing the line with his finger, Yuu began to read.
“Her tongue caressed my ear eagerly, causing my-” Yuu was cut off by the shop clerk’s hand over his mouth, holding a finger to his own.
“You’re not supposed to read these out loud!” the man shrieked in a whisper, blushing furiously.
Yuu looked confused, “Why Yuu not supposed to read book loudly?” he said, which seemed to trigger something in the shop clerk’s mind.
“Ah, never mind that. What I meant is you need to pay…with…” The clerk paused a moment as he took out a bill, “money. For those 500 ryo.”
Yuu had not learnt the concept of large numbers yet, but seeing the man wave the very thin wooden, paper like substance in front of him, he guessed that is what he wanted for the book. Like a trade. He could understand this, it happened in nature, just not so explicitly.
Yuu nodded to the store clerk and plunged his hand into a pocket in his coat, pulling out a wad of crinkled notes that Joey had told him to hold on to. In total it was 5000 ryo, 10 times more than what he was supposed to pay, handing it to the shop clerk, who took it.
As soon as the clerk saw how much he tried to push some back into Yuu’s hand, “No, no, no, 500.” He said, flustered again.
“No, no, no, keep. Yuu have books.” Yuu said smiling obliviously, taking the books and leaving the shop…and leaving the clerk feeling somewhat guilty guilty.
Yuu found a nice spot to read the Erotic Ninjutsu book, flicking through it, seeing an interesting jutsu.
“Sexy…jutsu.” Yuu mumbled to himself, not being able to read it in his head. He followed the instructions in the book, forming hand signs and transforming into a naked woman, succeeding in the first try. It was similar to the transformation jutsu, but had more to it than that, rather than imitating something it took aspects of people, transforming into an image in your mind, something completely new, and had to be controlled by the users own understanding of anatomy…which by now Yuu actually had a lot of from his late night observations.
Forgetting that he was completely naked, and a woman, Yuu kept reading through the books. He still didn’t have much of a concept of modesty, even Billabong didn’t seem too daunted by nudity, or anyone Yuu had observed at night, yet Billabong still gave him clothes and told him to wear them.
As if thinking about him, Billabong was conjured up from the abyss, looking at Yuu.
“Yuu…why…why do you betray me?!” Billabong said, manly tears welling in his eyes, as he punched Yuu in the face.
“YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GROW PENISES! NOT BREASTS!” Joey cried as his fist made contact, sending Yuu to the ground, dispelling his sexy jutsu, leaving an astonished Yuu staring at him in shock.
Looking around, as if to make sure no one was watching, Billabong turned to Yuu.
“Time to continue our training, and I think it’s time to get you in touch with your inner beast, as well as combining your taijutsu with some useful ninjutsu. Firstly, I am going to teach you the ‘Wild Lion’s Mane Technique.’ It’s B rank, but I think you can do it. Just follow along.”
Billabong formed a hand sign, and his beard and chest hair began to grow, forming into the faces of lions.
“All you have to do is guide your chakra through your hair, growing it, making it harder, and shaping it through chakra manipulation. This uses Chakra shape manipulation and a pre-existing source. It’s very simple.” Joey instructed, and surprisingly Yuu understood nearly all of it.
As has been mentioned, Yuu’s favourite word was ninjutsu, and so the crone told him a lot about it, so when Yuu followed through the steps Joey had shown, he succeeded instantly. It was even easier since in previous training sessions with Joey he had focused chakra to his hair to harden it, using it as a weapon for taijutsu. Another thing Yuu found interesting though, was that the technique was very similar to the ‘hair bondage’ technique in his new book.
“Good good. Now, seeing as you can do that, I will assume that you can focus chakra to enhance your senses much better than what you do second nature now. What I want you to do is utilise your chakra to change how your perceive things. You’ve transformed into animals before so you should be able to tell when you’ve succeeded. Just focus chakra into your eyes and optic nerves for starters, until you gain animalistic vision. I think you would be one of the few people who can achieve this, and it will be your own jutsu, despite my thinking of the concept for it.” Joey said.
This time Yuu didn’t understand many of the words, but he understood that he just needed to put more, conscious effort, into enhancing his senses. He thought of enhancing his senses with chakra by himself, so half way through Joey’s explanation Yuu had already enhanced his senses further, his eyes turning into that of a hawk, focusing in and out.
Joey, although astounded, didn’t let it show on his face, looking at Yuu blankly.
”Is this kid actually a genius? Does he just need a little nurturing? Some guidance? I guess that’s why I’m supposed to train him, forge him into a weapon…”
Then Yuu spoke, looking at Joey questioningly, “Yuu has thought for long time. Would it hurt neck if I roar using chakra?”
Yuu couldn’t explain his concept properly, but Joey answered anyway, “No, I don’t think so. It’s your own energy. Show me what you thought of.”
Yuu nodded, and took a deep breath, focussing chakra into a type of ‘seal’ in his neck, feeling pressure squeeze from inside his throat. He then focused chakra from his body into his throat, building up pressure even more, the veins in his face rising, looking angry.
Suddenly, the seal broke, a ‘boom’ coming from his throat, being distorted as the chakra rushed out, causing a loud, animalistic, roaring, sound. Not only that, but the chakra felt like a physical force as it travelled with the shock wave of technique, forcing Joey to take a step back due to his proximity and being caught off guard, leaves being blown off of nearby trees.
This much power could throw projectiles off course if used correctly, Joey thought, and Yuu knew it too, as he rubbed his neck.
It was sore, well, not saw, but hoarse, like how a person feels after yelling at the top of their lungs.
“Well…that was something else. I think you just created a brilliant technique…a primal one. You are getting in touch with you bestial side again Yuu. Now…time to proceed with our taijutsu training.” Joey congratulated.
The rest of the afternoon, Yuu and Joey fought in hand to hand combat, leading to the development of a new taijutsu style.
