![Oboro's Sage Mode Training [Solo] Empty](https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif)
Oboro was scouring the data books for methods of which he could become more powerful, however all of the techniques listed seemed to be a bit abstract as well as something of legend rather than reality. However, there were a few techniques that included proof within the past hundred years or so. On technique that the Kage had an extreme interest in was the Art of Earth Grudge Fear. There was a man named Kakuzu who apparently had the technique at one time but was ultimately killed by the Likes of Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki. It seemed as if the technique allowed for one to use small black threads to absorb body parts of other humans. Kakuzu used it to absorb the hearts of others and could only be killed once all of his hearts were destroyed. This was indeed a powerful skill, though Oboro decided to keep looking and eventually found something more his style. This technique was called Sage Mode and gave the user the ability to access natural chakra and perform advanced techs known as Senjutsu. That sounded amazing to the Daimyo. Only three people prior had owned it and they were all S Rank ninja. The only thing in his was was the fact that he needed a summon to teach it to him. So now he was forced to flip through a book of summons that were available to him. The general route to achieving Sage Mode seemed to be using either Snakes or Toads, however he wanted something a bit more exciting than those two. Upon the "T" section of the summons book, he found a very vaguely written page on summons known as "Titans". There was little information, only a location and a warning on the page. Oboro giggled to himself as he realized that this summon was indeed the one he wanted to get. They seemed to specialize in strength. Just as Oboro did.
The article stated that the Titans resided in an unnamed Cave located in the land of Rice. Luckily for Oboro, he was currently in the land of rice, as that was where Otogakure was located. However, he wasn't really sure of anything that had to do with these titans. Were they actual titans or did they just have the form of one? Either way, it seemed he would have to venture to the cave of theirs that was rumored to be off of the coast of the ocean. He informed Shinsui that he would be leaving for a few days at most and gave the man the power that the Otokage normally would have. With his bags packed, he made his way out of the village and ventured to the cave off the coast. It wasn't a long trip, though it was a quite memorable trek through the the bamboo thickets that acted as the obstacle between him and the power that he craved with every drop of saliva he had been attempting to contain within his mouth. His brow furrowed as he made his way closer and closer to the cave until he had finally met with the orifice that existed as if a blemish on the surface of the world. The cave protruded from the earth, allowing a massive entrance into the massive structure. The sheer size alarmed Oboro primarily due to the fact that that the cave would be housing creatures of a size alike, massive and fearful. He worried about what might rest within the dark, however his legs drove him further throughout the night-like entrance that acted as a portal to an entirely different world to a world coated in rocks and avalanches with the must of stale water and fear from the smaller animals. Thin rocks crunched under his feet as he pushed it feet forward, slowly losing his ability to see with time. He activated his sharingan to allow him to see throughout the darkness, his red eyes illuminated the area as he made his way forward. With one hand reached out, placed on the wet, mossy walls of the cavernous abyss, he made his way forward as the light behind him faded form existence entirely, allowing the dark to engulf him completely, allowing no return to the outer world without having to find his way through the maze of rocky walls. He was sure no not make a sound too loud as to prevent the collapse of the ceiling. He had heard of many people who have been destroyed by large masses of earth falling from the roof of caves, crushing them completely or damaging them beyond repair. Oboro refused to be yet another Uchiha to be squished by a rock, however a Hatake would not be here to save him should he be utterly destroyed. No one would be here to preserve his sharingan. No one would be here to save him from his mortal doom.
After taking one rock step, he slipped on the slick rocks, forcing himself to clasp the rock the nearby, but the massive force needed to grab the rock made a sound that echoed throughout the cave, causing it to tremble. Stalagmites from the ceiling began falling down, their sharp tips aimed directly at the skull of the Otokage. He looked up just in time to punch the stalagmite that was soon to pierce his eye. It shattered, though the barrage was not finished, each falling less that a second apart from each other as the cave itself rumbled with the force of the impacts on the ground. He ran forward with all of his speed, swatting at the rocks as they fell to end his life. After running about a tenth of a mile, he saw a light in the distance. "The opening!" He yelled as he ran at top speed. However upon entering the orifice in the cave itself, it was abundantly clear that the light that lit up the way was not that of the sun, In reality, it was a massive campfire that two giant beings were standing about. They sat and rested in what seemed to be a sleeping fashion. However Oboro could not take his eyes off of the massive creatures standing before him. They were just as the book had said, colossal. Something told him to run for his life, however he realized that these were the monsters that the book was talking about. Oh could feel his heart pounding every half second. The both giants snapped their eyes open at the same time and looked directly at Oboro. His heart stopped and skipped at least eight beats before the smaller of the two arose from his slumber. He walked over towards Oboro, though his sounds were as if he was light as a feather. It was amazing that something that size could move so silently. As he got closer, it was clear that his skin wasn't red because of the fire, it was that his skin was actually red. He had a scary looking smile across his face as his lips each ended in a curl. "Should we kill him dad? I haven't tasted a human in quite some time now. What's it been? Three hundred years since we ate?" The larger of the titans stood as well, black in skin with a lack of bodily features. It was as if he was just a silhouette, but he managed to speak. "No... this one has a red aura around him. Commonly told as the will of evil, though I see it more as the will of power; the thirst for strength. This one is strong." Before he finished speaking, he picked up a rock the size of Oboro's body and hurled it at him at full speed. It was all he could to break the rock with his forearm as it rushed towards him at speeds he could not dodge without his sharingan active, and it was weak from trekking through the cave in the dark after all this time. He rushed up to Oboro at speeds that he was once again unable to follow and grabbed the head of the Otokage as if it was a pea that he had found on the ground. While the man was held between his index and thumb. "So, you're pretty strong huh? Starting today, we will be training. Enjoy your time here, because before we're done with you, you will be the most powerful shinobi in your world. Do you accept us as your summoning contract? I suggest you choose yes..." His voice trailed away on the last sentence. He knew to form his contract he had to give a blood sacrifice of his his own so he removed a kunai from his pocket and sliced a horizontal line along his hand. Allowing the blood to trickle on the floor as a sign of his confirmation. "Very well then." The black creature spoke. The monster began to glow with a black energy surrounding his body as it looked like the energy was slowly pouring into the body of Oboro himself. The blood within his flesh pump against the back of his skin as it wanted to explode. His skin felt as if it was about to tear at the seams and the pain just did not stop. It pulse within his body and would not cease. He could vaguely hear due to the throbbing of his eardrums, however he was able to make out. "It will only take three more days." Was this what it felt like to have energy pour through you? As if your entire being was going to fully combust? Was this their form of conditioning of the body? It wasn't long before he lost consciousness due to pure shock, though the pain did not cease in his sleep.
In his dreams he once again saw the original Uchiha Sage, his grandfather, Xamengyuko. "Oborodzuki, we begin our training here." He said as the Uchiha's face was that of a bewildered child. "We're in a dream state, but my mentality still rests within you. With this overflow of chakra, I am going to teach you the art of focusing that chakra into your body. Right now your body is being pumped full of the chakra of Cronus. I too went under the same training, though not from him but a titan alike. He will continue to flow his massive amounts of chakra into you until you are strong enough to meet his flow. At that time, your chakra will be so refined, you will have access to senjutsu. So for now, you must endure." There was so much that Oboro wanted to ask his grandfather, though he was unable due to the fact that he was snapped back into reality. His eyes shot open as Cronus was still squeezing his skull. "H-how long has it been...?" He asked as his voice trembled a bit as he attempted to speak. Cronus smiled and released the man. The titan spoke with his deep bellowing voice. "It seems it only took you a day. You're a special one aren't you? It seems we can begin creating further use of the energy to allow you to make your own Senjutsu techniques." He let go of the skull of Oboro as a last bit of energy filled every cell within his body. His eyes began to glow as his Mangekyou activated from the sheer amount of power within his body. It felt as if he could have been able to fly should he wanted to. The entire existence within him was quivering with energy as he stood on his own. He was able to sense every last thing around him, concentrating on every single feature in the area. Every single crack and protrusion in the cave, through the deepest recesses of the cave was illuminated for him even though his eyes were currently closed. Cronus spoke once more before allowing the man his own free will once more. "Just so you know, you can summon the lot of us at any time you need now, though myself and my son Prometheus will be the best suited for combat. I personally use Doton and Prometheus is the only one of our family to use Katon." Oboro was a bit distracted by his own power to notice what the titan was saying, though he got the gist of what the being was telling him. Should he need to summon the man, he could do so whenever he needed. "Though," the titan continued,"You better not waste my time you small mortal." Oboro laughed to himself as he waved at the giant man who stood more than ten times the size of himself with his back turned and headed for the exit of the cave. "By the way!" Cronus bellowed, "To fully master your Senjutsu you will need to actually train with us to fully awaken your art of Senjutsu. What you have now is just a basic form!" Oboro grinned with this natural chakra flowing through his every being. He couldn't contain himself as he sprinted every second of the way back to his home. He could not wait to let the entire world know of the adventure that had befallen him in the last forty eight hours of his life.
