Chapter 27 - The monk

The following day Ishizu avoided Sasuke as the latter probably wanted to be in his team.

'This guy is always pissed when girls are around him and now he is looking for me just like his crazy fangirls. I remember when I had to deal with that one particular girl.'

Flashback no Jutsu:

A young Ishizu was sitting on a stone reading a book as he closed it and dodged a kunai aiming at his neck. Looking at the person revealed a young girl with purple hair. It was Anko who looked at Ishizu like a hungry person looking at a good meal. "I have finally found you my prey. Don't think you can escape me now." Anko licked her other Kunai in her hand.

Ishizu has a deadpanned face as he observed the crazy girl. He did not understand what this girl's problem was. Most girls were looking at Kakashi or some Hijūga but Anko was only interested in Ishizu.

"I never hid from you. I do not understand what your problem is but when you started to train under Orochimaru-sama you changed. I will probably never understand why you attack me as some kind of prey but I warn you that I won't hesitate to harm you if you are serious" answered Ishizu. Anko's look said that she didn't care and attacked Ishizu.

Flashback no Jutsu end:

'I am happy that she lost interest in me.'

Ishizu looked at as two Genin came to him to talk with him. 'I better hope that I receive some good news.'

Sometimes later:

One could see a young man sitting under a tree and sulking. It was Ishizu Sasaki, who was depressed having heard what his two female Genin told him.

"Sensei, we both want to talk with you," spoke Ino, smiling at her Sensei. "Yes, what do you two want?" asked Ishizu. "We want to leave for a month Team 11 and go to other Jonin. Is it ok with you?" asked Hinata. Ishizu was falling on his bottom as he looked at his Genin. He didn't expect them to leave by their own will, so he asked the reason: "Why I am pretty sure I am good enough for you two or do you have something against me?"

Both girls laughed: "No Sensei we don't mean it like that. I want to go to Kurenai-san to learn some Genjutsu and how to flirt," said Hinata flushing at the last part. "Yeah, I have permission to train with Anko Mitarashi to help me with poison," explained Ino. Ishizu grew pale thinking what Anko will do to his cute Genin. Ishizu coughed a bit: "I can't say no as it was my rule. I am a little sad but I hope you have fun." "Thanks". Both girls went home, leaving a depressed Ishizu sitting alone.

"Yeah, but I need at least two people to train and one is not enough or the council will see me favoring you," answered Ishizu.

"Then you can train me." Looking to the voice, one could see Sasuke Uchiha coming to them. Ishizu didn't look at him: "Oh, so you want to be trained by me or do you want to use me to gain power?" Sasuke smirked: "You have avoided me good but you need another Genin to train Naruto so why not agree." Ishizu leaked a bit of his killing intent to look more dominant because the attitude of Sasuke annoyed him.

"There are many reasons I don't want to train you:

1. You want to use me and no one uses me for anything.

2. You lost yesterday against Lee even with your new Sharingan and

3. Do you want to have me as a teacher who was a friend of your brother or would you let your pride fall and beg to be trained?"

Sasuke was silent for a moment before doing something legendary. The Sasuke Uchiha, prideful and last loyal Uchiha, knelt and begged: "Please, I need to become stronger! Kakashi is too lazy to train me and I need the power to defeat my brother for what he has down so please."

Ishizu didn't expect Sasuke to let go of his pride. Feeling a burning sensation Ishizu saw that on his left palm the moon was shining. Ishizu turned to Naruto: "Naruto, I will let you decide if you want me to let him train with us." Naruto without thinking told Ishizu. "I agree that Sasuke wants power but without it we are nothing. I have no problem with it." Sasuke was smiling thinking he could get stronger. Ishizu smirked: "Good but not today. I have something else to do. I will let you know when we will train, but right now I must go somewhere else. If you want some tips, just ask your other teammate Naruto. Start with chakra control. Now I am off."

An hour later. Place: Training ground 43

I concentrated as I opened my eyes projecting the Rinnegan as I murmured:

"Chikushōdō" 'Boar'>'Dog'>'Bird'>'Monkey'>'Ram', "Summoning Jutsu". I felt my chakra being drained and as the smoke cleared I saw something black and white coming through. What I didn't expect was for the summon to talk to me: "Hmm, why hello there brother human. How and why did you summon me? Such a curious ability you have. I see through brothers' eyes too" said the summon with a cheery voice.

I would be confused by how this animal talked, but it was something else that caught my attention. It shocked me: "What the hell. This is so horrible to see through someone else's eyes." Turning to the summon: " And what the hell are you? How did I summon a panda?"

Before Ishizu stood a 6-foot tall male panda.

'I thought I get to summon some prehistoric bird or a three-headed dog. Instead, I get a panda who speaks like some kind of monk? Nevermind. For now, I should see what he wants.'

I put on a smile on my face and greeted the panda: "Hi, my name is Ishizu Sasaki and I am sorry to have summoned you as I wanted someone else." The panda just smiled at me: "Oh, don't be sad young human. My name is Tau. You can call be brother Tau. I am as confused as you because we pandas never had a summoner so I am a bit perplexed about how you could summon me."

I tried not to cringe at how the panda talked: "It's OK. I don't know, but is it possible for you to de-summon yourself? I want to try it again." Tau walked around me: "Naturally, but I want to do something much better, so stay calm and try to not scream." I didn't expect him to say that. "What?" I had no time to react as Tau appeared next to me, put his paw on my shoulder and I was gone.
