Chapter 36 - 36 (1/2)
Fukasaku admits that he has nothing special to teach Ryo about Ninjutsu. What he can actually teach him is a Taijutsu style called Kawazu Kumite that is used by the toads of Mount Myoboku.
This style was based on the use of natural energy around the user as an extension to one's body, thus creating an ”invisible” attack.
It is not difficult for toads to learn. They only need to guide the natural energy around them.
After Fukasaku explained the details to Ryo, it didn't take him long to master it in his Sage mode.
One of the benefits of discovering such a style is that the Kawazu Tataki (Frog slap), the main attack it used, didn't actually consume Senjutsu Chakra. This meant that Ryo could use this Taijutsu style freely in Sage mode without losing time.
”Ryo Chan, now that you've also mastered Kawazu Kumite, do you plan on returning to Konoha?”
”Fukasaku sama, I don't plan to return to Konoha for the time being. I want to stay in Mount Myoboku for a while.”
Ryo wanted to practice his for some time. He has already prepared enough M.R.Ps and soldier grain pills to last him months.
Over the next few months, he plans on becoming more familiar with Sage mode. He didn't have that many Jutsu's in his arsenal.
The amounts of Chakra that he consumed before in his ice elementization were immense. So he didn't really feel the need to work on many water-based Justus. But now that he solved that problem, what he learned over the years suddenly felt like it was no longer sufficient.
Since Jiraiya was in Mount Myoboku, Ryo planned on taking this opportunity to learn some Justus from him.
”Well, it's too late for practice this evening. My third child Gamahiro is back from outside the mountain. You can get to know him.”
”Oh I see, I hope I won't bother you tonight.” Ryo was really polite to his elders.
In the evening, Ryo, Jiraiya and Fukasaku went back to the latter's place. There, Shima had already prepared a table full of insect dishes.
Jiraiya looked frightened seeing the huge meal.
”Oh Jiraya Chan, and Ryo, you're back!”
”Hey Shima sama.” The two greeted Fukasaku's wife.
”You guys came here just in time. I just finished cooking. Come on in and eat with us.” Shima welcomed them in warmly.
”No, No, we just finished eating, isn't it Ryo?” Jiraya winked at Ryo, who also didn't want to eat the insects. He nodded in affirmation.
”That's a pity, Jiraiya Chan. anyway, you two come in so you get to meet Gamahiro.” Shima sounded sad as she said that.
Ryo remembered the huge body of Gamahiro in the Manga. Fukasaku's place isn't big enough for him to get in.
A moment later, a light-blue toad jumped into the house, carrying two short swords. While he looked like he was 7 to 8 meters tall in the Manga, his size now was nothing like Ryo remembered.
At this time, he was the size a regular man, looking nothing like what he looked like in the during Pain's attack.
”Hiro Chan say hello to the guests.”
”Ok, Oyaji. Hi. My name is Gamahiro, you can summon me at anytime.”
”I'm Ryo Yamanaka, p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e to meet you.”
”Call me Jiraya!”
After the three got acquainted, Ryo and Jiraya learned from Gamahiro that he had been looking for weapons in Iron country, until he was summoned back by Ojiji Sama.
