The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Practice or Battle?

*** Hanshu's mind, a few days later ***

"I don't know what that power is Isobu," I said to Isobu as I sit next to his cage

"I don't know what it is but it is strong. If you can't hit your opponent, then you can't win against them. So he has something special about him, and why does he need to hide it?" Isobu said deep in thought.

"Yeah this is driving me insane, I need to know!" I said as I started lying down onto my back.

"I just, want to know." I said as I started to leave

*** Back out of Hanshu's mind ***

I sat there, on my bed just waiting. Waiting for what, I don't know. I look around my room and my eyes landed and Kurage my snake.

I got up and went over to the tank and looked in. Kurage looked back and started climbing the glass wall and came out and went in my outstretched hand. She then climbed my arm and curled up on my shoulder. I think it is time to train with her. I thought as I started walking out of my room.

I went down the hall and to the training room. Good, it is empty. I thought as I looked around the empty room.

I went to the middle of the room and sat Kurage down on the floor.

"Expand" I said and the small foot long snake turned into a big snake that was two buses long.

She bent down and allowed me to get up and sit on her head.

I took my hand and placed it on a massive scale. I took some her chakra and gave her some of my chakra.

"Scortch Style: Blazing Tornado!" I shout and fire comes out of Kurage's mouth and formed a tornado made of fire. It kept swirling and it stopped when Kurage had to take a breath.

"Good job Kurage, you are surpassing my old dragon Maguma!" I shout happily to know that.

Suddenly Sasori rushes into the training room.

"Hanshu are you okay? I heard you being happy!" He says smirking at the end

"Yeah, I'm fine. Kurage is great, she has became strong. Even stronger than Maguma." I say, calming down now

"Great, I told you that she had potential." He said

A puff of smoke appeared and I start falling, I guess Kurage shrunk back to normal. I did a flip mid air and landed perfectly on my feet.

Kurage came over and started climbing me, to get on my shoulder.

"Its really cold in here, I am going outside. Want to join me?" I ask Sasori

"No I am fine, I need to work on my puppets." Sasori said

I shrugged and went to my room. I got in my room and placed Kurage back in her tank and left the room.

I went down the hall and went outside. I went over to a rock in the sunlight and just lied there. I swear I could of fallen asleep right there, but guess who came to say hi?

Tobi came over and sat next to me.

"Why are you lying there Hanshu? Its hot outside!" He said

"It feels really good, its cold inside the base." I said without moving from my spot.

"It is nice in the base on a hot day like this." Tobi said

"That is why I like the desert, it is always warm or hot outside. It always feel nice to me, I don't like the cold." I said
