Chapter 6: a nice play time and starting calligraphy.

***************************************************************************************

================

3rd person POV.

================

Izuku and Momo have just arrived in the play ground and Izuku is seen keeping a bit of distance away from Momo not wanting to stay much close in case she might try to hurt him as he said " t-this is the p-playground where all the kids in the a-a-apartment play.". Momo looked around in awe at the well-maintained swings, slides, ladders, a few mixed-ones as she said " w-well, this is my first time in a playground, I always liked books in the l-library.".

Izuku could relate a bit as when he stopped going outside since all his friends turned on him, he also started reading more and more books. Izuku then saw Momo looking at him with a bright look of expectation as to see which they will play first. Izuku sighed as he pointed to the slide and ran towards it with Momo in tow.

Izuku even though is more cautious with people is thinking ( She doesn't seem to have the same expression as everyone around me does...).

TIMESKIP - 2 HOURS.

Inko and Izuku were towards towards the limousine leaving from the gate as Inko turned to Izuku and asked " well Izuku, was Momo a nice play mate?". Izuku thought for a bit and said " she is n-nice mama, but what about my school?". Inko then said " lets go in and then talk Izuku!". Izuku nodded and held his mom's hand as they went inside their room.

Izuku and Inko in their complex sat on the sofa as Inko said " sweety, for now I think Its best you get home-schooled till you are in your teens or 12 years old, that way you can have more time to train your quirk like your teacher wants you to..", Izuku was shocked as he thought ( ne, Mr. Kurama, how does my mom know about you.) .

Kurama sighed about having to reveal what he did when he took over Izuku as he answered, " Kid, you were too forgiving and were gonna let that explosive brat get away with what he did to you, he should have known the consequences but he still did it, so I took control for a while and told everyone about my existence as a sentient quirk and teach you how to use chakra, they know it as internal energy tho, not chakra.", Izuku still a bit peeved that Mr. Kurama told them everything just sighed as he looked at his mom who was giving him an amused look seeing all the interesting expressions that Izuku was giving out.

Izuku then pinched Inko lightly to get attention and said " I see mama, this way I can grow quickly to be hero and not have face those p-people again!.", Inko could see how deeply her kid was effected unconsciously by everything that happened, she could only hope that Yaoyorozu family can light his heart a bit at least.

Inko then informed about the sale of apartment and where they are moving to in a month. Izuku nodded for everything as he was just about to leave but from inside his mind, he heard " KID, quick! ask your mom to buy you a calligraphy set and a few extra bottles of ink, ask questions later!." Izuku who was about to ask nodded as he turned to his mom and asked " Mom, Mr. Kurama is telling me to ask you to buy me a c-cal-li-graphy set and some extra b-bottles of ink too.".

Inko understood that and didn't need to ask why since she trusts Izuku's sentient quirk and besides. what can a calligraphy set do. Inko pulled out her phone and looked online for a few options and bought a set which also provides extra ink and paper.

Meanwhile, Izuku arrived in his room and sat on his bed as he mentally asked ( Why do I need a ca-li-graphy set, Mr. Kurama.), Kurama thought a bit and answered " Well kid, my previous user was good at using chakra in various ways, I will tell them to you after you grow up a bit more but we are gonna practice your handwriting with the brush and for you to improve your strokes, so learning calligraphy is the best for now." ,

Izuku processed what Kurama said and answered back ( ok Mr. Kurama, you are my teacher from now on so I will learn whatever you teach me!), Kurama grinned as he said " well brat, after tonight, when you sleep, I will pull you here and show you the basic strokes of calligraphy, don't worry about materials, you can imagine them appear since its your mind.".

Izuku nodded as he played around with his toys but stopped after a few minutes as he was losing interest in them and turned on the computer to start watching about heroics before something was recommending to him on the home page of herotube, it was a video named { parkour and speed running basics for all ages.}.

Izuku mentally asked ( Will this be good for me to watch and try to learn Mr. Kurama.). Kurama looked and thought for a bit as he answered ( YES! it will be very good! running and acrobatic exercises don't effect your growth and its a good way to build a stable body from when I actually start training you in conditioning your body.).

Izuku nodded as he added the video to his playlist for future reference before starting to watch the video, It showed a nice way to slowly increase the leg power, speed and stamina of the body and some exercises to help train the body in flexibility and some steps on how to do a forward roll and backward roll.

Izuku took out his notes and wrote them down in a scribbly manner, after a while. Inko called Izuku for dinner. Izuku went down and sat on the table where food was ready to be eaten.

======================

TIMESKIP- AFTER DINNER .

======================

Izuku went to his room and laid down on his bed and after a few minutes has fallen asleep. Kurama seeing that Izuku has fallen asleep has pulled him to his conscious as little Izuku arrived a bit dazed with how he arrived but nothing painful. He looked in childish awe at the size of the fox with bunny like ears and normal hands with nails.

Izuku then said " wow, your tails look soo big and fluffy!". Kurama smiled a bit as he said " We will get to my tails at some other time but for now let me show you the basic strokes of calligraphy. Now let me summon a calligraphy set my size, you see it and try to summon it smaller, to fit for you." Izuku nodded as Kurama summoned himself a calligraphy set.

Izuku tried to do the same and after a few attempts was successful, Kurama nodded and then said " here is how you make the ink, this thin black stick is the ink stick called Sumi stick and the stone which you use is called Suzori, you basically pour a little water as you rub the ink stick on the ink stone to prepare ink, of course this is the traditional way, you don't necessarily need this method as you can buy ink of bottles outside, but I will show since it is more effective way as to not waste money in near future.", Izuku nodded as Kurama dipped the Sumi in water and started rubbing it forward on the Suzori, Izuku started copying the action.

After half and hour, Kurama followed by Izuku stopped as Kurama said " yosh, that should be enough for you to practice here, now take the brush and hold it in between the finges using 2 or 3 of them. Kurama showed as Izuku with some difficulty managed to hold it .

Kurama then instructed " Now I will write the 44 basic strokes of Japanese calligraphy, these are used to form the kanji for different seals that we will learn later. For now see as I write the basic strokes and practice them for a week, I will then test you with them .", Kurama slowly started displaying the strokes on the paper so that Izuku can follow the hand moment. After 15 minutes Kurama was done and looked at Izuku's paper and saw that Izuku did well for a first timer but had a few rookie mistakes which Kurama pointed out as Izuku just listened intently and nodded and went back to redo again and again .

=====================

TIMESKIP - 2 hours.

=====================

Kurama has to applaud the patience of the boy who is still diligently practicing the basic strokes, Kurama in the latest practice paper saw that Izuku was able to do it almost perfectly but a few mistakes on edges, Kurama smiled as he thought ( Nice to see the amount of dedication and patience the kid has unlike all of my previous jinchuriki's. I can tell this kid will go far surpassing Minato and Mito Uzumaki in the fuinjutsu field if he continues with the same dedication. hmm I shall slowly send my chakra in his muscles and bones while he does exercises so I wont affect his natural growth but can make him recover fatigue and heal the sore muscles faster. I will make sure he will grow to become FAST! A ninja must be fast in order to complete his mission.).

Kurama then called out to Izuku and said " that is enough for now Izuku, you can sleep now, practice in your free time and don't forget how ink is made, it is much cheaper than buying ink bottles, tell your mom to get the sumi stick and ink stone , ok?.", Izuku nodded as he asked " How do I leave this place Mr. kurama?", Kurama instead in explaining just sent a small burst of chakra sending izuku back to real life, izuku opened his eyes and saw he was in his bed room and the time is 10 PM .

Izuku then closed his eyes and after a few minutes, has fallen asleep.
