Sennin Reborn

Fuu was absolutely astonished when she was summoned back to the Beetle Temple, Apparently Junichi had told them about her actual fight strategy. Maybe they were mad at her? She wasn't sure but what she did know was that it was about time to visit again and maybe get an apology out to Junichi for Reo bonking him on the head, that probably hurt a lot if the ground was any sort of indication as to how hard he had been hit. Still what she had to do now was go talk to the ancient beetles and see what they wanted.

The beetles were actually sitting in a circle like they were waiting for her, well, I mean they probably were they did call her after all back to the secret beetle place. Maybe Fuu was being paranoid but well she had to get over that, she was a Chunin after all. The mood though was so somber she just had to say something.

"Soo, whats with the candles and the spooky lighting, are we having an intervention or something? what's going on with this?" The frankness of her statement just evaporated the tension in the room that they had been trying to build

(103)

One of the beetles spoke up, he was an interesting one, around the size of Fuu's torso but he looked like an old man somehow, she couldn't really place it. "Well now don't be in such a rush little miss, we're all hear to congratulate you on passing the Chunin exam. And what better way to do that than teaching you the sage arts." Fuu blinked for a second before jumping up in excitement and bouncing in place.

"Yes, Sage arts that's awesome and amazing and also What are Sage arts." The collected beetles could almost be heard falling down from the sudden shift in attitude.

(106)

The old man beetle got a chulckle out of it though, maybe Fuu's youthful exuberance was what made him so happy to teach her. "The Sage arts young one are about using the chakra of nature to perform amazing feats. We Hurculeas Beetles are the arbiters of one of the seven true paths of sagedom. When you complete your training you will be a Beetle sage, and your mastery over nature chakra will be second to none." Fuu nodded at his explination, although that didn't exactly explain what it did she was more than willing to learn.

"Alright Grand dad beetle, let's get started"

(104)

The beetle nodded and brought her around the mountain to a place with a still pool of water that had a stone tablet floating in the middle of it. "First what you will need to do is learn to stay perfectly still and I don't mean superficially either lass. You will need to stay as still as the water to sense the chakra of nature. This is a very special place, if you move even minutely out of tune with nature the water will ripple and if you move to much it will tilt and knock you off. After you complete this task we will talk about Collecting Nature chakra so that you can be better at it. He went over and landed on the floating slab to demonstrate about the movement thing, sure enough it didn't move at all while the beetle was on it.

Fuu guessed that there was no reason that she shouldn't be able to do the task at hand, heck if anything the task was rather simple if boring. Sitting still was possibly the most boring thing that one could do and if she was going to be made to do it it would probably be just that much harder. Fuu hopped onto the block and sat down, almost immediately getting thrown off into the water. Okay, maybe this was going to be the hardest thing Fuu had ever tried to do, and hyperactivity wasn't going to help in this particular scenario.

(101)

Fuu managed to get herself onto the stupid rock about an hour later without falling off as soon as she sat down by plopping herself into the sitting position first and tossing herself at the dumb thing. It took a good fifteen seconds for her to fall this time, progress, even if it was very very little. She felt the movement that sent her tumbling over the edge, it was a twitch in her muscles and that is when the real challenge of this was made clear to her. Her body was so used to moving around twitching at the slightest sound so that she wouldn't be attacked.

it was the antithesis of what she had always learned as a ninja. She couldn't understand exactly how she was supposed to 'stop moving' to that degree but maybe it had something to do with the type of Chakra that she was trying to sense. Nature Chakra sounded like something someone just made up but maybe she could just try to well, imitate the water. let the coiling of her muscles out and just sort of exist rather than trying to actually do something. She took this philosophy to mind when she got on the slab the next time, and for a while it was working.

She sneezed and crashed into the water again thoroughly annoyed that her body betrayed her in that manner, but fortunately for her the old man beetle was there to stop her. "Looks like the finer points of it aren't lost on you lass. I think that you've got it down pat enough that we can do the next part of the training now dousn't that sound nice. The beetle put some water down next to her. "Now drink up youngun, that'll get us started and then the real training will begin."

Fuu just shrugged and downed the glass of water with no fuss.

(103)

Oh.. apparently she had been drinking hot lava because as soon as she was done she felt her whole body light up with increasing heat. What the hell was it, why was she on fire now this was not normal she had to get it to stop! She flung herself into the water but that didn't stop the feeling but it did make her realize that she wasn't actually on fire it was just an odd sensation on her skin. She got back out of the water much calmer than when she had gone in and sat down to actually listen to what the sage beetle was telling her.
