THIRD POV
AFTER TSUKI BURNT down the deadlands, she spent the last seven days of that specific training lesson perfecting every Dark Arts jutsu. With one month already gone due to the training regiments, she's so far gained the Half Moon which indicates that she completed the Second Seal. Time may have gone too fast for the Haruno, but at least she's learned how to properly handle the Healing Arts which is made up of life energy, and the Dark Arts which is full of dark energy. Two concepts that is essential to gaining her Goddess Mode.

Already, Tsuki can feel the increase of power that's running through her body. She feels stronger, lighter. Though, there are times that she feels darker which are the effects of dark energy. However, Cerridwen explained that, that was pretty normal to feel.

Now, at the beginning of the 'second month', the Haruno stands in front of Cerridwen to initiate the rest of her training. Itachi stands next to the Goddess with his arms crossed, he's just there for curiosity before he starts his own training. Glancing between them, Tsuki smiles up at the pale woman.

"So, what's next on my agenda," she asks, placing her hands on her hips.

"Well, how do feel about forgoing through some more pain," Cerridwen informs with a wicked smirk.

Tsuki deadpans. "You know, with all this pain talk, you're starting to sound like the old Akatsuki leader, Pein," she professes to the goddess, finding the similarities. "It's uncanny."

Cerridwen narrows her pitch black eyes at her. "Oh, ha ha! Very funny. Though, at least I'm the real deal. But there's one more thing," she informs.

At the cut off sentence, Tsuki raises her brows. "One more thing, what is it?"

The goddess smirks, maliciously. "Don't compare me to that man, it's insulting," she exclaims, hitting Tsuki in the stomach.

Gasping in pain, her knees buckle from underneath her, and she falls to the ground. Although, she's in pain, she senses the familiar power of the black vines crawling over her skin. It takes her a moment to realize, but she does.

Ugh! Did she really have to punch me to release the third seal, Tsuki asks, grunting in pain.

"Woman, that was a low blow," the Haruno gasps.

"Yes it was, quite literally. But my methods worked because the third seal, the Full Moon, is now open. Which means it's time to start your training. For these next two weeks you will work on the properties, of what I like to call, Moon Magic and Hellfire," Cerridwen explains while spreading her arms in a praising manner.

"Moon Magic? Hellfire? How does one train with these," the pink haired kunoichi questions.

"Well, with the Moon Magic, you can draw energy from the moon and preform a certain amount of techniques. I already have a list of jutsu for you to learn, practice, and perfect. Though, depending on the state of the moon, it will affect the strength of the power. Example, if it was either a waxing or waning crescent, the technique will be weak. Though, if it's a full or a new moon, the jutsu will be powerful," the pale woman explains.

Tsuki nods with understanding. "And the Hellfire," she reminds.

"Ah, well, that's where the fun comes in! Since you have the essence of the Underworld flowing through you, you should be able to manipulate and preform the techniques of the Hellfire. But to help you, I'll make Uchù, also known as Cosmos, train you," Cerridwen professes with a grin.
