With a loud bang, Gyūki—the Eight-Tails—hugged the attic tightly and crash-landed directly onto the lake in Amegakure.
Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in relief. "Relocating the marker and landing—success!"
Originally, the plan was to drop straight into the tower using the Flying Thunder God mark, but considering the potential stress on the structure and the village, it was safer to land on the lake instead.
Killer Bee growled, clearly annoyed. "Come on, you call that a success? I'd rather we ended up inside the tower!"
As it turned out, to keep the attic from getting soaked or collapsing into the water, Killer Bee had tightly wrapped it in his octopus legs. Using precise chakra control during the descent, he kept it buoyant and stable.
The loud crash had caught attention. From the tower, Nagato and Konan quickly emerged to investigate the commotion.
Nagato looked at the building in Killer Bee's grasp, then turned to Naruto with a quizzical expression. "Naruto , what is this?"
Naruto offered a small smile. "Just a little something special we picked up from our travels."
With that, he motioned to Killer Bee. Together, they lifted the attic and placed it atop a flat-roofed building within the Hidden Rain Village.
Killer Bee then reverted to his human form with a sigh. "Damn, that was exhausting."
Naruto tugged at Bee's arm. "No rest just yet. Come on, let's go in and study it together."
So, Killer Bee led Naruto, Nagato, and Konan into the attic. Even Orochimaru—Uncle Snake, as Naruto casually called him—joined in after hearing the news.
As Killer Bee began the introductions, he pulled out several scrolls, preparing to share them with his disciples. These scrolls were particularly valuable for Lightning Release training.
Konan gasped in surprise when she saw one. "I can't believe it… This is the same paper-based ninjutsu technique that Jiraiya-sensei taught me. It's documented so thoroughly!"
Nagato's eyes widened. "These are Uzumaki clan sealing techniques...! They're so rare!"
Orochimaru licked his finger, flipping pages rapidly, eyes gleaming with excitement. "So Kumogakure was also dabbling in human experimentation. Look at this—data logs on Jinchūriki experiments. Hmm, quite detailed."
He glanced at Killer Bee, grinning wickedly. "Your birth must've been quite the ordeal."
Nagato, flipping through more tomes, marveled aloud. "All these scrolls are filled with various jutsu. I've already seen over a dozen techniques from not only the Five Great Nations but also some minor shinobi villages. These are renowned techniques!"
Konan nodded in agreement. "Even techniques from the vanished villages… they're here too."
Orochimaru paused, a thoughtful look on his face as he examined the structure of the attic. "This isn't just a storage building. It's clearly a vault for forbidden and secret techniques. And in today's world, only one village has the resources and military strength to collect and preserve something like this…"
He looked directly at Killer Bee and concluded, "That would be Kumogakure—the Hidden Cloud Village."
Nagato turned to Naruto, stunned. "So this… this was taken from the Land of Lightning?"
Naruto chuckled. "No need for guessing. Raikage-sama gave it to me."
Killer Bee began to rap:
"Yeah, Naruto fought my bro,
And after the clash, he let it go!
The attic's his prize, that's the show!"
Konan smiled proudly. "Naruto, you've come a long way. I was always worried about how to train kids with different chakra affinities beyond my own."
Naruto nodded. "These secret techniques can serve as our foundation. We'll start with the thirty-six children currently in training, and later we can recruit more. At the same time, we'll expand our upper-tier strength and bring in more like-minded shinobi."
Orochimaru smirked. "You sound like the old Akatsuki."
Naruto laughed and threw an arm around Orochimaru's shoulders. "Well, the current Tengen Organization is descended from Akatsuki, right? But the name 'Akatsuki' means dawn—the first light of day. A beautiful vision…"
He looked ahead, eyes serious. "But in our world, we don't chase dreams. We build the future—real, tangible futures."
Turning to Orochimaru, he said, "Uncle Snake, you should also take on some apprentices."
Orochimaru offered a wistful smile, his eyes clouding for a moment. "I'll pass. Teaching's too exhausting."
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Is it because of Sasuke? Or Nawaki?"
Orochimaru remained silent for a moment, then said, "I'm going inside. There are still books I want to study."
Naruto sighed. Uncle Snake still carried emotional scars, ones most wouldn't notice unless they looked closely.
And it made sense. In his past life, after Jiraiya-sensei died, Orochimaru had taken on a strange persona—half-sage, half-madman, wandering around Konoha, sometimes lucid, sometimes not.
Meanwhile, Nagato and Konan were deep into their own studies. Killer Bee nudged Naruto.
"Come with me," he said.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"I'll show you the Lightning Release Breathing Technique. It'll activate your cells like nothing else."
Naruto blinked. "I already have Kurama's chakra and the Flying Thunder God Technique. Why would I need that?"
Killer Bee shrugged. "Yeah, with all that power, no one can even get close to you. But the Lightning Breathing Technique is excellent for enhancing physical stamina. Think of it as groundwork. Besides, you can demonstrate it to the students."
Naruto nodded. "Fair enough."
The two of them made their way to the student training ground. Killer Bee summoned his own class—four young shinobi.
When the other kids heard that Naruto was there, many came running to watch.
Killer Bee stood before his four students and declared, "Alright, today I'll be teaching you the Lightning Release Breathing Technique. It's a B-rank jutsu, and while it may seem basic, it will greatly enhance your body and help you master other Lightning Release techniques later."
As he spoke, lightning surged around his body. Sparks crackled violently in the air, and the kids stared in awe.
The four disciples, especially, were ecstatic. They had long idolized Bee and longed for strength, but due to their Lightning affinity and lack of proper instruction, they'd never been able to reach their full potential.
Among them was none other than Yahiko of Amegakure.
(A/N : Not him just name)
Killer Bee barked, "Follow my lead!"
The four students immediately tried to replicate the technique, but only managed to mold their chakra—they couldn't manifest any lightning.
"Sensei! I can't feel the lightning!"
"Yeah, I can't channel it out!"
Killer Bee scowled. "Use your heart! Do you hear me? Your heart—it has to be full of emotion!"
The kids frowned, scrunching up their faces like they were constipated.
"Sensei, I'm trying, but I still can't feel it!"
"Same here!"
Killer Bee growled, clearly losing patience. "Damn it! I said use your heart, not your intestines!" He whipped his hand forward. Lightning shot out like a snake, wrapping around the four students.
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
Sparks flew. The kids were electrocuted on the spot, twitching and yelping.
The other students watching from the sidelines burst into cries of amazement.
Several female students covered their eyes. One of them—Chunyu—gasped, "That's way too brutal!"
Killer Bee smirked. "You feel it now?!"
The four boys nodded rapidly, faces twitching from the lingering electricity.
Yahiko, breathing heavily, shouted, "I feel it! I feel it!"
