Ch.28 Two Is Greater Than One
A day later, after finding out that Team 7 won't start until next week for Kakashi to recover from Tsunade who took her to a very heated hot spring, Tsunade told her to go in the hot water.
"I'm not doing that," Sakura(Lv104) said in her usual boring tone looking at the hot water in front of them. She was in her normal state not synchronizing with Power at the moment.
"Why not brat, are you afraid of a little water," Tsunade laughed while smoking her cigarette.
"I would like to see you take a bath in there Miss Tsunade and not get burnt," she replied, Tsunade looked at her and grinned.
"Alright, then I guess I can relax for an hour or two," Tsunade then ripped off her clothes to reveal a black swimsuit underneath shocking Sakura in her mind.
'Whoa she actually doing it but why is she wearing that swimsuit damn it!!!'
'HAHAHAHAHA seeing a pervert getting cockblock is truly a funny thing to see,' Power replied.
'If only I can summon you in the real world I would beat you into oblivion,'.
'I'm a part of you how are you going to punch me just focus on Tsunade teaching you,' Power said going back to whatever he is doing. 'tch,' she responded.
Tsunade goes into the water smoking and relaxing. "See it's just water nothing scary about it,". Sakura looked at her with suspicion as much suspicion as her emotionless face can muster up. she slowly put her hand down in the water hoping it doesn't burn.
"AHHHHHH!!" She screamed. she rolls to the ground holding her red hand in pain.
"If you can't take this heat now how are you be able to control your Gear?" Tsunade asked Sakura who was still holding her hands.
"How is still supposed to help me control my Gear?" she was confused about how staying in hot water help her.
'Pretty sure the hot water is supposed to represent the gear Sakura,'.
'NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION POWER!!!'
'Bitch, please I'm the brain you're the brawn this is how our roles work,' Sakura was annoyed by Power's words. She is not stupid at all she has the best grades in their class.
'I didn't say you are stupid I'm just saying I'm the one that can see more than what the text says,'.
'Stop reading my thoughts and what the hell are you saying?'.
'Exactly now go learn what that woman saying,' Sakura glared at Power for a second then go back to reality listening to Tsunade.
"When people touch something hot they usually move away from it but you must stay in the heat mastering it becoming one with it" Tsunade explained. Sakura now understood what Tsunade is saying thanks to Power...
"Okay Sakura you can do this if I don't the other me will just laugh at me," Power smirked listening to her words. She slowly got into the water trying to get used to the heat. Submerged in the hot water, Sakura felt her body heating up at a fast rate. It was only for a minute until she got out fast as she could. She panted hard trying to cool down but her body was red as a tomato, steam clouds coming off of her.
"That was a good first try but it going to take more willpower than that to control your gear Missy," Tsunade said, Sakura looked at Tsunade like she was crazy.
'I going to be boiled alive,'.
'10 minutes break then let's try this again okay Sakura,'.
'10 MINUTES I NEED AT A HOUR AT LEAST TO COOL OFF ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!!,'.
'After being humiliated by the other keyblade wielder, the sliver hair woman, and almost losing to Kakashi-sensei slacking off in training will not sit well with me. I'm also trying to consider our limits but if we don't get stronger fast, the easier we are to die Sakura,'.
'We, what do you mean we? I'm the one doing the training while you're just standing here doing nothing. That its I am going to beat the shit out of you here and now!'.
'You can't hurt-,' Power was punched in the face by Sakura's fist(1,500/1,540Hp)

Back outside, a body similar to Sakura flew out of her own body, flipping mid-air the stranger landed without any issues. The stranger was shocked for a second by immediately calmed down "It seems I'm back to the outside world but I have no desire to fight you Sakura," Power (Lv72) said as he jumps into the hot water far from her and meditate in it. She(Lv72) was shocked that Power manifest out of her body, seeing Power go into the hot water angered her knowing now she hates being in the heated lake.
"You bastard you went in the water to avoid me wait until I cool off and you will be sorry Power... damn the heat make it so I can't move my body,". Tsunade almost drops her cigarette in anger hearing that name but cools down seeing the red-hair kid that looks like a color swap of Sakura trying to meditate in the hot water.
"Hey Missy who is this girl that came out of your back, her energy reading is almost very similar to your own?" Sakura turns her head toward Tsunade.
"You can say he is my other self, the proclaimed brain to my brawn, or how I see it, my smartass roommate," she replied.
"Oh wow didn't know he was a boy, I going to assume he was a lost heart (looks like she can split themselves into two halves, pretty unique ability there),".
"What a lost heart Miss Tsunade?" Sakura asked.
"Those with strong hearts resist going back to Kingdom Hearts or being sucked into the realm of darkness losing their bodies and spirits, they try to find a new vessel to regain life but in doing so there is a good chance of losing their memories when merging with the new vessel. The chances of them getting a body and soul are low even if they do a vessel with a strong heart can suppress them and shoot the invading heart out of their body. Your situation is different instead of two fighting over a body, you both join your heart together making two personalities sharing a soul and body," Tsunade explained as Sakura try her best to absorb the information she was given. looking at Power he focuses on training controlling First Gear than listening to the conversation at the moment.
"You sure know a lot about the heart, Miss Tsunade,".
"I only know the bare minimum due to what I experienced over 20 years as a keyblade wielder. Pretty sure many try to study the heart but failed as the heart is very mysterious that it can't be explained by normal means," hearing this Sakura wonders did something bad happened in Tsunade's life.
"Um... hearing how you have over 20 years under your belt any advice you can me?" Tsunade takes out her cigarette and looks seriously at Sakura.
"How about I give you a life story as just giving advice is boring," Sakura who cools off now listens carefully.
"This is a story about how staying weak is a sin and losing my master because of my own weakness," Tsunade stated.
