I want to train!

After half an hour Nezumi woke up and just as Eragon promised, he was waiting. Nezumi bleeding stopped as he used his Medical Ninjutsu to give him the minimum needed treatment to make sure he won't die from blood loss.

The moment Nezumi woke up and saw Eragon, he started crying in despair "Sob sob Please let me go, please let…"

It was too bad Eragon was nonchalant about his tears, he heard too many people beg for their life and make promises when it was already too late. He believed mercy shouldn't be given, it should be earned!

"If you want to live, then you have to do something for me..." Eragon's voice was plastic with no emotion, seemingly saying 'you don't agree, you die!'

"Yes! Yes! I will do everything just don't kill me!" Getting a chance to live, a ray of hope flashed through Nezumi eyes, promising desperately he will do anything Eragon demanded in order to live.

"Great" Sitting on a chair Eragon opened one of the drawers and pulled a Den Den Mushi, he throw it to Nezumi "Call your boss and tell him what's going on, ask him to save you"

The Den Den Mushi made an arc in the air and fell on Nezumi face "Oh right I forgot, you can't catch anymore heheh, here, let me make the call for you" Acting like it was all by mistake, Eragon picked and the Den Den Mushi dialed.

The prank made Nezumi feel so desolate he started crying again, so when his boss answered the call, all he heard was crying "Nezumi, what the hell are you doing? Are you crying for God's sake?!"

"Sob sob boss, save me, sob please save me…" Hearing his boss's voice Nezumi's crying intensified and he started begging to be saved in a desperate voice.

"Calm down and explain everything" the voice on the other side of the phone was silent for a few moments, and then spoke in a grave tone.

Between his sobbing, Nezumi did his best to explain the situation he was in, and although most of what he said was nonsensical gibberish, the gist of the situation was explained.

"He's the one who made the call? and he is there listening to us?" His boss's voice was full of questioning marks as he racked his brain trying to think what to do, this was his first time handling a hostage situation.

"Yes sob… you must save me, I don't wanna die sob sob…" Nezumi snot and tears made his rat look seem even more pathetic than it already was.

Reaching a conclusion it was best to be upfront, Nezumi boss asked directly with no delay "What do you want? I know you wouldn't have called me if there wasn't anything you wanted from me"

"You are right, there is something I want from you" Standing up, Eragon took his knife out again, and to Nezumi horror, the nightmarish cold glint flashed again, bringing with it immense pain

"Ahhhhhhhh"

"What's happening? What are you doing?? Stop!! We can talk it through!" Hearing Nezumi screaming voice full of pain, the person on the other side of the phone immediately panicked.

Eragon ignored everything and just continued flashing his knife, cutting Nezumi dick off inch by inch until eventually he blacked out again and the screaming stopped.

"What happened? Nezumi can you hear me? Are you still alive??" Nezumi boss didn't stop talking for even one second since he heard screaming, making Eragon quite annoyed.

"Will you just shut up?! I said I won't kill him so I won't kill him!!" Grabbing the Den Den Mushi, Eragon shouted, and finally "You are right, I called you because I want something from you… I want you to hear what happens to corrupt marines"

Staying silent for a few moments, a confused voice was heard "Corrupt marine? What the hell are you talking about??"

"You don't know? Or maybe you just pretend to be ignorant?" Raising his eyebrow in suspicion, Eragon wasn't exactly sure but he continued anyway "But it doesn't matter… if you didn't know Nezumi was corrupt then I did you a favor, and if you did know then all the more reasons why I should have done it!"

"You piece of shit!! We will hunt you down! There is no place you can hide from us, you will beg for…" Realizing there was no point in further negotiations, curses and threats started raining on Eragon's head, making him quite annoyed.

Not waiting for him to finish, Eragon interrupted him "I will make sure to leave you my picture for the bounty and also my name is Zeus! make sure you won't misspell it…" As anymore talking was pointless after his point was said, Eragon hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Looking at Nezumi sorry look, he still wasn't satisfied enough. Making a few more cuts, he took Nezumi eyes out, making him grunt from pain even when he was knocked out 'This should be enough, I guess… letting him live in darkness with no ability to wipe his own ass on his own is better than simply killing him! He probably doesn't even worth 100 experience points, so no wastage there...'

With his job done, the shadow clone disappeared in a puff of smoke after he made sure Nezumi won't die.

Meanwhile, Eragon's other shadow clone already took Nami and left the marine's ship, moving speedily towards the city. While they were moving swiftly on the water, Nami stayed silent in Eragon's arms, still processing everything Eragon told her.

Knowing she needed some time to herself Eragon didn't bother her, Her silence continued until they reached their hotel room.

"Caroline…" As she entered Caroline's room, she saw her lying on the bed with another Eragon beside her. Nami sat beside Caroline on the bed and held her hand as she asked in a quiet voice "How is she?"

"Her condition is stable, she will be back on her feet in a few days" Looking at the guilty expression on Nami's face, Eragon sighed "You know it's not your fault right? Caroline did what she did by her own choice, no one forced her to push you out of the way…"

"…"

Not getting any answer, Eragon shook his head and left the room, letting Nami take care of Caroline. He already took the bullet out and replenished her blood and also healed the wound as much as he could with Medical Ninjutsu, now all Caroline needed was rest.

"You are back? I thought you three will be out till nightfall.." Exiting the room, he saw Nojiko walk in his direction, apparently she also just came from wherever she was.

He quickly filled her in on the details of what just happened and let her enter Caroline's room to be Nami's mental support. Watching Nojiko enter the room his frown deepened 'This wouldn't have happened if I have been more careful… I need to be stronger so such things never happen again!!'

Nami wasn't the only one who blamed herself for what happened, Eragon too blamed himself. Entering his room, he made the max amount of shadow clones he could and threw himself into training madly. Focusing everything on raising his chakra skill.

[Chakra + 4 exp]

*knock knock*

After a few hours, he stopped training when he heard someone knocking on his door. Wiping his sweaty face with a towel he opened the door to find Nami standing there while her fingers played with her dress nervously "Nami?"

Closing the door behind him, he followed Nami with his eyes as she walked inside his room.

Letting her gaze stop only for a single moment on Eragon's sweaty, naked chest, Nami took a deep breath to calm her nerves and looked him in the eyes as she said in a firm tone "Teach me!"

"What?" A trace of confusion flashed past Eragon's eyes as he didn't quite follow what she meant.

"I want you to teach me that thing called chakra!" Still, in the same firm tone, Nami's gaze was unwavering "What happened today was because I was weak! if I wasn't weak, Caroline wouldn't get hurt because of me… so, I want to be strong just like you and Caroline!"

Looking at Nami, he could feel her determination and unwavering spirit as she asked him to train her, he was glad to see she came back to herself. Eragon stayed silent for a few moments as he considered If it was wise to teach her chakra, eventually, he decided to try "The only person I tried to teach chakra to is Caroline, but it didn't work… but if you want to give it a try, I will train you"

"Good, then let's start" Sitting down on the bed, Nami crossed her legs and looked at Eragon expectedly.

Eragon was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Nami to want to start now. He laughed dryly but his heart was beating fast, excited at the thought that maybe Nami could learn chakra. When Caroline couldn't sense chakra, even after a few years, he started suspecting maybe people in this world couldn't learn chakra… So doing an experiment to see if Nami could learn chakra successfully, will be a big significant discovery!

Sitting in front of her in a cross-legged position as well, Eragon smiled "Let's begin!"
