Chapter 10
Raitei
''ey...hey...hey,wake up''
''What is it?'' I asked groggily, as I woke up irritated from the tree.
''Don't blame me, you were the one who told me to wake you up when I woke up'' he said
''Hai,hai'' I say dismissively.
''Troublesome'' He says annoyed.
''Since you've woken me up, let's talk a little'' I suggest as I stand up and dust off the dirt on my black yukata.
''That sounds troublesome'' He said in dislike. I just stood there, my hand in a thinking posture as I wondered what I could do to convince him, then it came to me, I have the perfect technique I have developed over my four years I have been alive here. I can proudly say it is my greatest technique.
''Shikaku-san, If you become friends with me, I can teach you my greatest jutsu'' I say cunningly.
''Heh, as if you can convince me to do something so energy wasting'' He scoffed.
''Oh, you will become my friend once you hear my jutsu'' I say as I lean into his ear as whisper the contents of my jutsu.
''NANI!, To think!...to think such a godly technique existed within this realm!Shisou!, teach me please!'' he said while smashing his head against the floor, groveling to me.
''Kukuku, of course my student, Shikaku-shounen fall to the dark side with me'' I say with an evil smile on my face.
''kukuku/kukuku'' we both chuckled evilly.
''Mother will never notice me sleeping in anymore, hehehe. Shisou, quick teach me your ways before my father finishes'' he says in a hurry, his lazy demeanour long gone.
''To see you so eager to learn, it brings tears to my eyes. Let us begin your training, when I leave you shall become a master at the arts of deception.'' I say as I begin the lesson.

''Arata!, hic, let's go, hic'' my grandfather stumbled out of the Nara residence and walked in a drunken stupor.
''Looks like I need to leave, my friend Shikaku'' I say dramatically
''Shishou!Thank you for everything!'' He shouts with vigour, bowing at a ninety degree angle.
''Show those fools the power of our godly jutsu, and it's shisou no longer, we are friends now, just call me Arata'' I say while patting his shoulders.
''Hai!Arata-shisou, those fools shall despair at the power of our jutsu'' he said in complete confidence.
''Goodbye my friend'' I say in a dramatic wave.
''Arata~, hic, lets gooo~'' He says jovially.
''Tch, old man don't ruin our moment!'' I say while dragging his semi-conscious body along the floor as I took him back home.

Omake-
{Nara meeting room}
''Takaki-sama, we have reviewed the statistics on the sales of our shops'' an elder beside Takaki says.
''What have you found out?'' he asks as he glances at his son that he decided to take to the clan meeting. He could see him diligently listening to conversation, his eyes wide open, most likely trying to fight off his sleep. Seeing his son so diligent brought pride to Takaki. If it was any other Nara child, they would be long asleep. Wanting to give his son the chance to shine, he changed the topic of conversation into something that Shikaku could handle.
''Our stores sales have risen by 25% this year, most likely due to our partnership with the Choza clan with their Yakiniku project'' The elder answers.
''I see...I see… Shikaku, do you think we can do anything else to further increase our profit?'' he asked, but he got no response.
''Shikaku, you there?'' he asked once again, seeing something might be wrong, he leaned closely to his son and heard something. He heard a light snoring. The child was sleeping with his eyes open.
''Masaka!How is this possible!, He...he perfected our long lost technique!'' Takaki shouted in astonishment.
''Bakana!'' One elder shouted.
''Nani!'' An elder shouted baffled.
''Such genius!'' another elder praised.
''We must make him successor!, we have not had such potential since the warring states period'' shouted another elder.
''Yes, we must!''
''Quick, make him go through successor ritual!''
And so that day, Shikaku was declared successor and had undergone the ritual all while sleeping through it. His legend was spread for many years to come as the legendary sleeping god who was able to sleep through his successor ritual and was able to gain the position of successor by only sleeping.

{2 months later}
''Wake up!''
''Aaaah!'' I screamed in fright.
''Hahaha''Masa-jii started laughing his head off seeing my reaction.
''You damn old man! Can't you let me have a nice nap once in your life?'' I shouted in anger.
''If I'm not having a nap, then you can't have one as well, bahaha'' he said while heartily laughing after sticking out his tongue at me.
''Sakaki, why the hell did your family choose to serve him''
''Arata-sama, rest assured your grandfather conducts himself like a fool only with you'' Sakaki says as he walks into the room and makes my bed.
''Guh, even you're against me, Sakaki. How cruel of you to say your master was acting like a fool'' Masa-jii says as he grasps his heart in mock-hurt.
''I was only merely stating the truth, Masahiro-sama'' Sakaki cooly responds as somehow takes out a cup of tea out of thin air and passes it to me.
''Tch, that's not what I was here for anyways, let's go you brat, we have our new lesson to do'' he said, ushering me to the dojo. Following him after grabbing my bokuto, I prepared myself for a lot of pain.
''Today, we're moving onto the last set of katas and how to see through a shinobi's disguise and how to see through a shinobi's emotions in battle'' He said as he instructed.
''My genjutsu isn't the best so when you begin the academy, try to find a genjutsu specialist and as for fire style jutsus, just wait for Ryuuji to teach you'' He begins.
''Let's talk about your katas, the katas you will learn today are last set of katas for our iaijutsu, of course my iaijutsu techniques dont end here, however, after these, you will have to begin your own iaijutsu style. Haven't you noticed our iaijutsu doesn't have a name, that's because you will eventually branch out your own iaijutsu. The iaijutsu you have been learning only serves to be used as a base for your own style. You already have your own kekkai genkai so you're already starting your own style''
''The last set of katas you will be learning today will be adding your chakra nature to your own body flicker'' He says as he enters an iai-goshi stance.
''We still undergo the same initial process to begin the body flicker, however, once you do form the chakra balls, you will need to add your natural chakra at this point. Each nature requires different ways to merge your unstable chakra and the nature chakra. For lightning, you will need to reach a resonance with your chakra and you will need to move the chakra at the same frequencies, you understand how difficult this is, correct?. The amount of concentration required on top of keeping up with battle while executing drawing techniques. It's a heavy burden on your body, but, once your body adjusts you will be able to move at continuous high speeds. Each chakra nature provides different advantages, lightning gives continuous high speeds, fire provides the highest explosive acceleration, wind provides silent movement, water provides the most stability while earth is the easiest and simplest to use so you can afford to concentrate on other things. You will only be able to combine your body flicker with nature transformations you have an affinity with.''
''I will explain fire affinity for you, but I don't have much experience with it so you will be on your own. When you form your balls of chakra, you must vibrate the particles in both types of chakra at the same speeds successfully to combine them, when you do the acceleration you will gain will be near impossible to keep up without a three tomoe sharingan, so until you do unlock it only use it as a way to begin a battle.'' He says.
''Now onto the next technique for the katas. While the original version of the iaijutsu only has the nature combined body flicker, recently I have added my own main technique as I saw it would be helpful for the next users to keep up with their speeds. My technique is called Raitei, it is a derivative jutsu I have formed from seeing the Raikage's own jutsu during the war. This jutsu is as demanding as his but rather than focusing on offensive and defensive power, mine focuses on speed alone, it took me 20 years to form it but knowing you, you'll probably master the first level in half a year due to the affinity my technique has with iaijutsu.''
''Raitei forms a wheel of electricity around your back and it stays there to provide a constant source of energy for your body meaning that you won't need to spare any mind to form this after the initial transformation. Once you do form it, the wheel will inject high amounts of lightning chakra into your body. You will need to inject your lightning chakra into your body equally at all areas whether it be your heart or your nervous system. This is extremely taxing and difficult, you cannot have any differences in the amount you spread or else your body will combust and you will explode. However, once you do this correctly, the lightning wheel will adjust and spread out your chakra automatically throughout the body evenly without your help''
'' Once you achieve this state correctly, believe me you will truly reach the speed of lightning, however, this is only possible once you gain extreme amount of chakra control, you don't need an excessively strong body like the Raikage, only an extreme amount of chakra control that not even the hokage can reach. I am only showing this to you so you can form the weakened version of it for a speed boost. There are four levels to this, each level involves injecting and concentrating more chakra into your wheel, meaning more chakra to control and when you reach level 4 you will truly achieve lightning speed. The fire derivative of this will be much harder to do as fire nature will mean explosive acceleration in your movements, its derivative name is Entei'' He says.
''Watch how I do it with your sharingan'' He instructs as the air begins to crackle with electricity. Slowly but steadily, he forms a chakra ring around his back and once he fully forms the ring, he suddenly injects a huge amount of lightning chakra into it causing the air to begin to dry up. Once he finished forming the lightning wheel, the lightning suddenly turned crimson red.
''Like you see, there are different forms to this depending on your constitution, I have an excessive amount of yang chakra, not to your extent though. Your colour will most likely be black and you will gain the silent and corrosive properties that your kekkai genkai has, while my red lightning will allow me to output much more power than the normal form, now look carefully how I inject my chakra, it must be spread all at once'' He says as he tenses his body to prepare it for the chakra. Once he was ready, a large explosion that sent me flying happened, his hair all rose and spiked up with red lightning. His eyes lit up in red energy as his body sent out steam to the surrounding. When I saw what happened to his beard, I couldn't stop my laughter. His beard spiked up and rose to cover his face, blocking his view.
''Buhahaha, is that the other technique, making your enemies laugh to death, hahah'' I laughed my ass off as I was clutching my body trying to catch some air.
''You should call yourself beard emperor rather lightning emperor since you'll be stabbing them with you beard, You won't even be able to do that because you can't see with that beard covering your face, buahahah!'' I laughed and laughed, while Masa-jii's face turned beet red.
''You damn brat! I give you my prized technique and you laugh at me for it, hmph let's see where you can get your pocket money from now. Good luck buying your sweets'' He turned away in anger.
''Wait, wait. Masahiro-sama, anything but the sweets, they're what keep me alive'' I said my tone taking a complete turn as I respectfully bowed to him in apology.
''Hmph, dream on, it's too late for apologies, you can't insult my majestic beard without paying'' He scoffed as he stroked his still spiked beard. I didn't notice but he was walking nonchalantly in his Raitei form, it showed how powerful Masahiro actually was, but when I saw his beard, I couldn't keep my laughter from exploding again.
''In battle, you'll be like 'I the mighty beard emperor shall kill you, prepare for your end' and then you attack him with your beard, buahaha!The mighty beard emperor shows the world his wrath, buahaha!'' My laughter rang through the hall as my grandfather shook in a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
''YOU DAMN BRAT!''
