The Earth Catastrophe (Naruto isekai FanFic)

5. The New Training Ground

The following morning, Kantomaru went on his way to the cursed oasis, to see what it looked like and check if it was safe. When he got there, he thought 'there is no security for the amount of emphasis they put on it being a restricted and forbidden place, then again what kind of idiot would be stupid enough to go in such a place.

Oh, that's right me I'm that idiot. Anyways, it is hot much hotter than the already hot Sunagakure but at least it will increase my tolerance to the heat. I should also try meditating here half buried as it's way harder and will prove much more effective and if I'm able to concentrate here and feel the chakra of the ground, it can also help me learn how to detect enemies through just sensing the change in chakra of the ground and the vibrations being let off by footsteps. I'll try that later.'

After scouting the outside part of oasis for a few more minutes he deemed the place to be safe enough to train so took several deep measured breaths, closed his eyes and concentrated chakra on the soles of his feet then he carefully and gently placed one foot on the tree then the other one and he kept going till the seventh step which then he fell but luckily landed on his feet. 'uff next time I'll bring a pillow or something I can't risk going brain dead because of a fall from a tree'. Kantomaru sighed while saying that to absolutely nobody. He then kept trying all afternoon until it was time to go.

Maybe by a struck of fate or maybe not on his way back home he saw a blonde-haired girl with teal eyes. Kantomaru thought to himself 'this is the first character I'm seeing from the anime well, it's time to make a move, it's a bit sooner than what I expected but oh well maybe it's fate'.

Kantomaru went over to the park. 'it's made of sand so I don't know why it had a sandbox but oh well not my business' Kantomaru said to the air. "Hello, my name is Kantomaru what's yours?", "u-um hello my name is T-Temari" she answered shyly. Kantomaru thought 'no way, she used to be shy! What brought on such a character development, it was probably that beast Garaa'. "Why are you playing alone here?" Kantomaru asked. "Well, I had some problems at home, and nobody really wants to play with me I don't know why" she said on the verge of tears. Kantomaru thought 'it must be because of Garaa', "well I'll play with you if you don't mind" he said. "Really?" She asked. "Of course, now stop crying and let's play" he said with a smile.

They played till Kantomaru realised how late it was and went home promising to see her some other day. After he got home, he was scolded by Hana the caretaker, but she let him off as he's normally a good boy. From that day whenever Kantomaru went to train in the oasis almost everyday.

However, Kantomaru also looked at the bigger picture and not just wanting to become the strongest, but he wanted to be able to do everything no matter how small it was as long as it was able to help him in the future. For example, he was now learning how to unlock doors through a book that the caretaker bought him as he helped her with the dishes, cleaning the place and cooking, which made him her favourite.

Kantomaru was now able to open normal doors as he frequently practiced on his door when when no one was there and also the bathroom door however he couldn't open heavily enforced doors with locks on them, he also couldn't open a safe yet or figure out codes which is what he would work on next. As this was an essential skill for a ninja to have if he wanted to be silent and successfully do infiltration missions.

He was also thinking about learning to do make up and dress differently so he would be able to hide his identity and pass as someone else. This would be very useful, because if he worked on his facial expression's and voice he would be able to deceive experienced ninjas and normal store owners. So if in the future he wanted to buy something without people knowing it was him, just like Kakashi did in one of the Naruto special episodes when they where trying to find out what he looked like under the mask and he helped them look for himself without anyone noticing even high level ninjas didn't notice, hell even Guy his best friend and a elite jonin didn't notice, even though he had a feeling he never fully knew.

Now you're probably thinking that he could just use the transformation jutsu, however no matter how good it is, it's easy to see through for experienced and veteran ninjas so it would only work on low level Jonin and below, depending on how much you master it. He would think about buying a make up set in the near future however for now he would have to make up a viable excuse, so no one thinks he's a weirdo and train on changing his voice and copying the way others act.

So, for the next six months he observed the children of orphanage and copied what they did, he copied their walking patterns, the way they breathed, the way they spoke and most importantly how they acted, he made it into a game of copying people so no one would think nothing of it, and no one would get angry, this really helped Kantomaru  become better at imitation even though right now he was quite bad at it.
