The Crystal Serpent [Naruto X Oc] |Book 1

Chapter 71: Learning Mina Senju Signature Justu

"So until now, before Itachi Genjustu, how much did you know about your mom's past?" Jairiya asked, looking at me once we were far away from Naruto.

"I knew she wasn't from the Hidden Sand, but not where she came from, and I didn't know she was part Senju," I replied.

"So your mom didn't talk much about her past before the Hidden Sand?" Jairya asked.

"Not really; the only thing she really told me is that she started living there when she made it to marry some man and then had my brother," I replied."I knew Father escorted her. She told me that was how they met, but I guess it was a lie," I said with a sigh now that I knew my mother also lied to me.

"Hey, I'm sure she had a reason, kid," Jairya said, patting my head.

"The name Kei Old Sage," I replied, smacking his hand off of my head.

"How rude your father, the same age as me, you know, " Jairiya said.

"That might be, but he seems more interesting out the Sannin, " I commented."Now come already, tell me what the justu is."

"Alright, your grandmother justu is known as Flower Style, which was closely related to Earth Style, and it was her signature, but your mother knew it as well, but her specialty, Crystal style, " He explained.

"A Flower Style?" I questioned.

"That's right, and I want you to start off with this one called Flower Shuriken, " He said, heading me a scroll. "Simply follow the hand signs."

"Okay," I said, opening the scroll.

"Remember to take a break. Your body still has some more healing, but you're well enough to do some training again, " Jairya said, starting to walk off."Now I have to get going. I will return by sundown to check in with you and Naruto."

I nodded and read over to hand signs on the scroll, preparing to start my training.

It has been hours since I started training while the old sage with off to do his own thing. In a short amount of time, I had made progress with my new justu.

Now I am currently taking a break and was going to see how Naruto was doing with training on the justu he was doing.

"Have you gotten close to popping it?" I asked Naruto.

"No, I haven't, but I will soon!" Naruto shouted with determination."Have you made progress with your justu yet?"He asked as he gritted his teeth and tried his hardest to get it to pop.

I made hand signs and made a few flower-shaped shurikens until they fell apart due to me not using enough charka."I got close, but I need to focus my charka better, " I replied."Oh, and Naruto, im sure you get it eventually," I said, smiling at him.

"Hey Kei, can I ask you something?" Naruto asked, looking at me.

"Sure thing. What is it?" I asked.

"Well, since you are a girl, I was wondering if you knew what a girl would like," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Why exactly do you ask that?" I questioned with an eyebrow raised.

"Well, say I like a girl. What do you think I should get her or do to let her know I feel?" He asked curiously.

"Oh well, actually, not every girl is the same, but a lot of girls love flowers. Are you giving them a stuffed animal of their favorite animal," I replied."Though they would be happy just taking them on a nice date."

"I see. Thanks, Kei. I know that was probably a strange question." Naruto said, smiling, embarrassed.

"It was, but not going to question it, " I said, heading back to my training spot to continue my training.

I was now on my knees, panting as I smiled widely, seeing multiple shurikens of Flowers hitting shuriken perfectly as I pulled off the justu.

"Alright, I did," I said, standing up and going to find Jiraiya to let him know so he could tell me what was next.

Naruto looked at me as I walked past him and saw him frown slightly as I told him I would find the old sage so he could tell me what was next. The thing was, the ancient sage that we might be learning different jutsus both are hard to master not everyone could do flower even though my mom was Mina's granddaughter Crystal was more accessible to learn than flower style.

Soon as I found Jairiya, he told me that the next justu was an even more complex and Mina's number two specialty called Flower Style Petal Dance. He was impressed by the fact despite it being a C-rank justu; I was able to get the hang of Flower style quicker than my mom did.

I went back to my training spot after telling Naruto good luck as he continued to train as the sun was starting to down more.

As I continued to train, the sun was fully down, and the moon was up. I had been here for a few more hours since I returned after seeing Jairiya.

My body was starting to hurt a little; this next justu was definitely more challenging than the shuriken one. It was still day one of training in Flower Style. My eyes were narrowed as I focused my chakra and willpower with my plan held out near the ground and made the grass move slightly like it was dancing.

I sighed, exhausted, and decided to call it a night and headed back to the village to the hotel we were staying at after saying good night to Naruto, who chose to keep training for a while longer to try and pop the water balloon.
