The Kitsune meets The Thunderbolt

The first year and six months saw Ash and Naruto going back and forth from Uzushiogakure to Myobokuzen. This time also saw Naruto become a level 5 sealer, Ash not too far behind him on level 3. Naruto was preparing for the exit exam for level 5. Kotosuke Sensei satayed with us the longest as Yugao and Anko Sensei would come and go as Tsunade Sensei needed them. I'm not fond of Bandit Extermination missions. I will do them if it must be done but, I definitely don't like them. Aside from being able to get a grasp on Shadow Possession Jutsu. Ash was making further progress on Iron Defense. Choza Sensei would use his Multi-Size technique to put force on my Harden.

-Choza's POV-

These boys are something else! If Ash-Kun continues to strengthen that Harden technique, it's gonna be like hitting steel. Hmm perhaps that's what he's aiming for? I'm very proud of both of them even without the Harden technique. They can actually stop one of my oversized punches. Together and individually, it's very impressive. I think Shikaku is going to enjoy the progress Ash-Kun has made in the Shadow Jutsu department. I am not a fan of that Thunder Punch. That's nasty business no matter how you slice it. They might end up having strength like Hokage-Sama. Naruto-Kun is getting really good at sealing. Pretty soon he'll catch up to Jiraiya-Sama. If he continues to grow like he has been he may even become a good as Yondaime-Sama and Lady Kushina. I shuddered, she really was a scary woman. Kami bless Yondaime-Sama for taming her. Naruto-Kun is so much like her even though he looks like him. Ash-Kun is catching up to Naruto. They might be able to help Ash-Kun make a way home, if they can figure out the energies required. Naruto was able to make that Fuuinball for his Froakie. That's a monumental achievement, considering he's the first of his kind in this world. Choza Sensei watch this, Ash said as he created a clone of himself. Because of the difference with Aura. Ash's clones can take a few hits before they dispurse. Several mornings I have woken up to find Ash and Naruto using clones to practice chakra control. Sparring, Thunder Punch training, Naruto is starting to learn the Aura Sphere. Since the Rasengan is so closely related. Watching Naruto pick up the technique was inspiring. He really is a smart boy! What a shame the people can't see that.

-End Choza's POV-

Yuzuki Yugao was a Kenjutsu specialist. Training two teen boys the intricacies of swordsmanship. She thought it was going to be more difficult than it has proven to be. Ash Ketchum is a refreshing student. The way he can channel his moves into the blade he wields. Several times he's made the ANBU Shinobi use substitution. Air Slash, Air Cutter, Razor Wind, Night Slash. What amazing techniques he brings with him. The scariest part is how he can use them with the staff or the blade. The first time he used Thunder to power up his staff he nearly broke Yugao's sword. Naruto learning Thunder Punch was horrible. He would channel it into his Kunai and Shuriken. Ash would infuse it into his Senbon Needles. Ash's exclusive Senbon Triple Shadow Clone Jutsu. It was a combination of Senbon Shadow Clone, Shadow Senbon, and hiding a secondary weapon in the shadow of the first. Not only was there explosive Shadow Senbon, but there is the actual hail of Senbon Needles. Ash being a level 4 sealer He had small seals on his Senbon and Throwing Knives. Thunder seals, Flame Burst seals, Shadow Senbon seals, Air Slash seals, Thunderbolt seals, explosive tag seals. Aside from the Paralytic Toxins, Ash had become rather good at stopping his opponents. Barriers were Kushina Sensei's specialty. Naruto and Ash were quickly becoming adept. At first it was a bit of an experiment. Now, watching the way these boys work so hard. They might actually find a way to help Ash get home.

In the time Ash has been gone from his home world. The rift left behind allowed Pokemon to follow Ash into the Elemental Nations. A few species have made their home on this side of the rift. Fletchling, Tailow, Dedene, Ratatta, Corphish, Clawncher, Tentacool, Poochiena, Houndour, people in the Elemental Nations have seen these new creatures but have not interacted with them yet. It only took one cycle and the creatures that made their way into the Elemental Nations to fundamentally change. Variants have appeared in the Elemental Nations.
