Using a technique known as reverse summoning, Kiryu found himself in a mountainous area.

Fukusaku: Welcome to mount Myoboku.

Kiryu immediately rips off his clothes, leaving him in nothing but his underwear.

Fukusaku:....

Fukusaku: Alright... Ready?

Kiryu: I was going to put on a training suit, but alright, let's get straight to it.

Fukusaku; Hmph.

Fukusaku: What I'm going to teach you is called Senjutsu. To gain it, you must learn to blend nature energy with your chakra.

Fukusaku: Which means you need nature energy.

Kiryu: Where can I obtain this energy?

Fukusaku: Look around. It's all around you.

Kiryu: It's invisible? Like a ghost...

Fukusaku: It's energy from nature.

He hops onto Kiryu's shoulder.

Fukusaku: But to gather it you must stay completely still. That's why I'll gather the energy and mix it for you.

Fukusaku: Ready?

Kiryu:(nods)

Meditating upon Kiryu's shoulder, Fukusaku attempts to give Kiryu nature chakra. However, there was a road block preventing Fukusaku from giving Kiryu anything.

"You dare come into my domain, toad?!"

Fukusaku: Gyaaaaa!?

The Dragon's chakra flairs and blasts Fukusaku off of Kiryu.

Kiryu: Oi! I need nature chakra!

"Then gather it yourself! I will not let some toad inject chakra into you..."

Kiryu: That's not your decision to make!

"Don't forget where your ultimate power comes from."

Fukusaku: Ugh.... It seems we must do things the hard way...

Kiryu: Easy... Hard... Makes no difference to me. I'll master this technique in record time!

(Opening theme)

Flying through the forest was a bug winged girl. As free as she could be, she was unaware who was following.

(Wielder of the Legendary Insect; Fu)
(Jonin Rank Shinobi)

Majima:(wicked grin)

(Days ago in the Hidden Leaf)

Danzo: Here is the known location and habits of two other Jinchuriki.

Majima:?

Danzo: If you're wondering why I'm giving you this, it's because I want the same thing as you. The death of Itachi.

Danzo: In between those files is the location of a Uchiha hideout which you might find interesting.

Majima: Just like that?

Danzo: We never met.

(Present day)

Kiryu meditated upon a slab balancing upon a sharp spike as Fukusaku rubbed frog oil on Kiryu.

Kiryu: What exactly is this... "Frog oil"?

Fukusaku: It's a special ointment that will help you learn to feel for Nature energy.

Fukusaku: Don't worry it's completely safe, unless you take too much, in which case you'll turn to stone.

Kiryu: I meant, where does it come from, what's it made of?

Fukusaku: Don't concern yourself over such minor details.

Kiryu:(inhales) Very well.

Observing Kiryu, Fukusaku watches how he begins to absorb nature energy into him, only for him to take in too much, forcing the toad to pull out a stick and wack Kiryu.

(Wack)

Kiryu:!?

Knocked to the ground, Kiryu rubbed his head. Getting up he turned to Fukusaku who quickly gave Kiryu a lesson.

Fukusaku: You're taking in too much and not mixing it!

Fukusaku: Don't just take it in. Begin mixing right away as you pull in.

Fukusaku: That is the best way to know how much you need.

Kiryu: I'm used to doing one thing at a time then putting it all together at the end. But I don't have time for that.

Kiryu: Any suggestions on how to help me get the mixing done?

???: It's like cooking.

Feeling himself rising in elevation, Kiryu looks down to see he had landed on an old friend.

Kiryu: Gamakichi?

Gamakichi: Ehhh... what's up Kiryu?

Kiryu: What's this about cooking?

Gamakichi: Oh right. Just imagine your chakra is a pot of ramen you're boiling and nature is the seasoning you're adding while mixing.

Kiryu: Is that how ramen is made? I usually buy it.

Gamakichi: And another thing! Make sure you go at nature's pace. Taking it in isn't a race after all.

Fukusaku: Ho, ho. Would you like to teach Kiryu how to become a sage? I'll just go home and retire.

Gamakichi:(awkward chuckle)... Just giving friendly advice.... No one is taking your job gramps!

Fukusaku: Wish they would...

Fukusaku: Kiryu, give it one more try. If you still can't get it, we'll use the oil to practice sage arts as a change of pace.

Kiryu:(nods)

(The Next Day)

In front of the frog oil fountain surrounded by dozens of frog statues, Kiryu, Fukusaku and Gamakichi stood for today's lesson.

Gamakichi: There, are you happy? This is where the oil comes from.

Kiryu: I am.

Kiryu: Thanks to the Dragon within me, my senses are numb to the subtle. So if I'm to feel nature energy....

Kiryu: I MUST FEEL A HEAVY HELPING OF IT!

(SPLASH)

Fukusaku: WHAAAAAT!?!!

Gamakichi: Oh boy....

Extending his tounge, Gamakichi pulls Kiryu out who now had heavy frog features which Fukusaku beat out of him using the black stick of his.

(Wack, wack, WACK)

Fukusaku: Kiryu! That was reckless!

Kiryu: But effective.... I'm going in again!

Fukusaku: Wait just-

(SPLASH)

Gamakichi: Bleh!

Pulling Kiryu out so Fukusaku could beat Kiryu with a stick once again, this time, Gamakichi didn't let go of him.

Fukusaku: This is dangerous! You may end up a statue like those you see around you!

Kiryu: I trust that stick can save me.

Fukusaku: That's besides the point...

Kiryu: It's working. I'm getting a feel for the nature energy going in and out. Gamakichi! Dunk me!

(SPLASH)

Fukusaku:(turns to Gamakichi)

Gamakichi:(tounge out) Whaaat?

(Meanwhile....)

Two Akatsuki members wandered into the woods in search of a Jinchuriki.

(The Fool; Tobi)
(??? Level Shinobi)

Tobi: La-di-da-di-da♪

Kisame:(sniff, sniff)

Kisame:(smirks) I smell a dog... A Mad Dog...

Looking up, the two find Majima holding Fu by the hair. She hung unconscious.

Majima: How about a trade? This little bug, for Itachi's location?

Tobi:(tilts head) Oh?

Kisame: And what's stopping us from taking her?

Pulling out his dagger, Majima holds it to her neck.

Majima: Do you want a Jinchuriki or a Legendary Beast? Make your choice.

Majima: You have until I fully skit her throat.

Slowly, he began to drag his blade across her neck, as he laughed maniacally.

(Days Later....)

After dunking himself multiple times in frog oil, Kiryu meditated for two days straight atop a sharp mountain, in complete silence.

Fukusaku and Gamakichi watched over him, making sure he didn't take in too much.

Gamakichi: Is uh... He okay?

Fukusaku: His progress is astounding.

Gamakichi: Is it now?

Fukusaku: He is the definition of "learn by doing". By experiencing nature energy going and out he's gain quite the grasp on it.

Fukusaku: The mixing process itself seems to be his biggest hurdle...

Gamakichi: Ah. But with his experience with using the Rasengan, that shouldn't be a hurdle too great for him.

Gamakichi: Though one more day and we probably sure make him stop, seeing as humans can't go without water for that long.

Kiryu:(gasp)

Gamakichi/Fukusaku:?

Kiryu stands up, with complete balance up the slab balanced atop the sharp tip of the mountain.

Orange eye shadow gloced around his eyes which opened to reveal yellow frog eyes.

Feeling the nature energy all around him, Kiryu became inspired.

Seeing new techniques in his mind, made from the lessons given to him by Jiraya and Fukusaku, Kiryu created a new style.

"Frog Style"

(Frog Style; Toad Sage Mode Kiryu)

Kiryu: This.... IS RAD!

Fukusaku: You've done it Kiryu. You've become a Frog Sage!

Kiryu:....

Gamakichi: Congratulations. You probably just set a record like it was nothing.

Kiryu: Though it might have seemed as if I accomplished this easily...

Kiryu: This was perhaps the hardest training I've had yet... To be completely still in both body and mind with this burning rage...

Kiryu: To even come train whilst Pain is still out there...

Kiryu: Letting all that nature in me for to get it beaten out with a stick.

Kiryu: Yes, it seems like the more I shorten the time I have to succeed in my training, the harder it gets....

Gamakichi:.... Well no shit.

Gamakichi: If you don't like it, take your damn time.

Kiryu:....

Kiryu: What now?

Fukusaku: Now you sharpen your Sage skills as I continue to teach you Sage arts.

Gamakichi: I guess this where I can shine a bit!

Kiryu: Right, let's spar!

(Days later.....)

In a long forgotten and abandoned Uchiha hideout, Itachi sat upon a throne.

He knew what was coming.

Majima his little brother turned Mad Dog by his obsession to kill him. Entering, Majima with a crazed look in his eye stared from across the room to see his brother.

Majima: Itachi....

Itachi:...

Itachi: Are you satisfied? You managed to get me here for a fight.

Majima: Satisfied...? I won't be satisfied until I kill you and avenge the Uchiha!

Majima rips off his jacket, revealing his cursed tattoo.

Itachi:(glares) With that, you are nothing but Orochimaru's puppet.

Majima: Heh, this cursed thing he gave me gives me power... Enough of it to crush you.

Majima: So enjoy your last moments Itachi.

Majima: Because I'm going to make it a blast with all the tricks I have in store!

Itachi: Don't get ahead of yourself.

Appearing behind Majima, Itachi grabs his shoulder. The Mad Dog turns around for him to get a mouth full of crow that digs his way down Majima's throat.

Majima:!?

Majima:(grinning)

Breaking out of the Genjutsu, Itachi finds Majima sitting on his lap.

Majima: How about a kiss from your little brother? Or better yet...

(CHI-CHI-CHI)

Majima: A kiss from this!!!

With a Chidori powered dagger, Majima takes a stab at Itachi who gets stabbed before breaking out of Majima's Genjutsu.

Majima: Hahaha! You ain't the only one who can do that! So why don't we just skip the illusions!?!

Itachi:(glares)

He flared his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Majima:(grinning) Oh hell yeah!

Majima pulls off his eye patch, revealing his own Mangekyo Sharingan in his left eye.

Majima: With these eyes we should be able to find your ticket to hell.

(Elsewhere....)

Pain: Four Jinchuriki remain. With Itachi out of the way, the Hidden Leaf will know Pain.

To be continued....
