Chapter 154: CH 154
Naruto made a thoughtful noise, "You can study it after I shower, eat, and sleep. Anything interesting happen while I was gone, or did you just watch the wallpaper to entertain yourself?"
"Hokage-sama revealed your jinchuuriki status to the village." Hamako said as she picked up his vest and walked towards his hamper to drop the piece of clothing inside, "It was a mildly entertaining spectacle somewhat."
Naruto smirked, "So how many of the old fogies called for my death when she was through talking?"
Hamako shrugged, "More than a few actually. But then the shinobi that had met and knew of the things you had done in your career thus far shut them up, especially the two that are always guarding the gate. It was amazing. You probably would have gotten a kick out of it."
"Note to self." Naruto said, "Send Izumo and Kotetsu a fruit basket or something for being good people."

(Three Weeks Later)
Once again, Naruto's training took him deeply into the Forest of Death. He put his attempts to learn how to utilize the Kyuubi's chakra on the backburner for the time being as he wanted to learn the nuances of using his sword. The rate at which it drained his chakra when he transformed the Sen'nenki no Ken into Sen'nen Kougake was ridiculous. He couldn't even keep it up for too long without tapping into the Kyuubi's chakra and even then, getting more than several minutes of use out of them was seen as a success. How the hell did anyone use this thing without draining themselves dry? Or maybe that was why it was a sealed heirloom in the first place. Hey, maybe he could use it by giving it to his enemies to use themselves. Just let them kick his ass until they dropped dead of chakra exhaustion and then take it back. Nobody would ever see that coming.
From experimentation the blades cut through pretty much everything like a guillotine blade, even without him circulating wind chakra between them, which was good, because the damn blades absorbed his chakra like a sponge. The transformed blades couldn't cut him, and with them his taijutsu was extensively more dangerous than it ever could have been otherwise.
