Children Road 4

Next time we went to train again, my father and I did the same physical training as the day before, after completing it, we went back to training in Chakra control, my father took some leaves to start his training, when he saw me heading towards the lake that was sight he watched me approach the lake.

"Where are you going?"

he asked me

"I'm going to test a theory I developed some time ago but I haven't had a chance to practice it"

I said when I was at the edge of the lake when I'm about to practice the walk on the water my father suddenly appears and pulls me to his side

"What do you think you're doing? You can't swim! "

says my father with a frown on his expression

"You're right I don't know how to swim yet, could you teach me so I can test my new theory"

placing my right hand behind my head with an innocent gesture

'I forgot that in this life I haven't learned to swim yet I'll just go with the flow'

I thought

"Well I can but you have to tell me what you were about to do!"

says my father

"I was going to test my theory about the next level of training on Chakra control, it follows the same principle, but it's just in water I think it's harder to do this one because as you can see the water is always moving so I think To complete the technique I would have to keep feeding a constant flow of Chakra to the soles of the feet while using the repellent force to walk on water"

I said

"Fine, but you'll have to learn to swim first"

said my father who kicks me in the river

I quickly come up to the surface to get some air and look at my dad who just stood in the same place as he looked at me.

"Weren't you going to teach me to swim?"

I ask

"Well I already taught you to swim"

he says pointing to me who was unconsciously swimming.

'Crazy old man, why did you make all that show about teaching me to swim pretending to be worried about my safety'

I thought.

"I thought you would go into the water to teach me!"

I replied annoyed

"Anyway you learned so you can test your theory now, in fact if something had really happened I would have saved you"

says my father

So I swam to the edge of the river again and started to test how my Chakra would react when trying to walk on the water, when I sent the Chakra flow through the soles of my feet and I tried to walk on the water I felt the repulsion on the surface which then disappeared.

Then my feet sank again.

As my dad was watching my little experiment, I just look at him pretending to be thinking.

"Now I understand not only do I have to keep feeding a steady stream of Chakra but I have to change the amount as needed, because the amount of Chakra I will have to use will constantly change"

I said.

My father remained silent, when I went back to practice he started to change the flow of the Chakra to adapt to the water which works because I stayed on my feet longer.

You have a monstrous talent boy and with your intelligence you will have the chance to rule this country in the future I am proud to have a son like you" says my father which makes me perplexed why he has never been one to give so many compliments that I was surprised for a moment.

'He's so serious most of the time that when he's kind he looks like someone else'

I think

So I go back to the practice of walking in the waters that I start taking steps to slowly so I don't lose concentration, after a few hours it was time to go home again so we headed towards the village. When we are about to get close to the house we notice that some people are in front of our house screaming.

As we get closer we can notice the conversation.

"I want to talk to your husband ma'am tell me where he went I beg you"

says a short chubby man who looks like a farmer

"He's not home right now, he'll come back later"

says my mom

"Calm down mom we're home"

I said screaming

My mom stares at me then gives me a very worried look.

"What happened to you why are you so wet?"

says my mother, who was coming towards me, frowning, she takes me by the ear and drags me into the house.

When we're inside he takes me into the living room and starts taking my clothes off and examining me up and down which I resist as my tail has grown back.

"Take those clothes off, you might catch a cold if you keep walking around like that in the water, where did you go and what did you do?"

says my mother

I panicked if I told her what my dad had taught me to swim she wouldn't believe it because no one swims with clothes on, I was under a lot of pressure so I ended up saying everything in detail as the more details I spoke the more frowning her expression got. When she just approached I thought she was going to get spanked but by mistake of mine she got down on her knees and put her hand on my forehead and then started taking my clothes off again.

I couldn't resist this time, when she saw my monkey tail she freaked out and started running to the kitchen when she came back with a knife in her hand I just ran naked to my room and put on a dry suit hiding my tail in my clothes.

She showed up in my room in a moment for me to put on the last piece of clothing, she still kept looking at me with a knife in her hand she says slyly

"Sweetheart let mommy take a look at your tail?"

she said

"No you want to cut him off, he's a part of me and I feel a power in my tail, you can't take it away from me a power that I will use to protect our family"

I said

(I don't know if I spelled this sentence correctly)

My mom gives me one last look as she nods in understanding, which makes me relieved.

"It's ok I won't cut it but you have to promise you'll keep it a secret from everyone even your father"

she says as she puts down her knife and hugs me

"I love you"

she tells me

"I love you too"

I said

When we give again my father is in the living room awaiting our return.

My mother approaches my father and slaps him in the face, it left me speechless.

"WHEN I AGREED THAT YOU TWO TRAIN TOGETHER I SAID TO PROTECT HIM HOW YOU CAN ACT LIKE THIS WITHOUT ANY CARE WITH OUR SON!"

she says in tears

"He's more stronger than you think Masaki, I do this so he doesn't go through what we went through so if one day we die he can protect himself"

says my father

"He's just a kid he should be playing with other kids, you're taking this phase out of him"

she says

"No Masaki you are obstructing his potential we have watched him since he was a child he has always been training as much as possible why wouldn't I support him when his mother doesn't support him knowing the circumstances in our lives"

said my father

'Damn this is going to be bad'

I thought

"Mom stop it's not Daddy's fault I have the desire to be the strongest it's not he who wants me to be"

I said

"But you're just a kid!"

says my mother

"This is the path I chose, you don't have the right to take the choice for me"

I said as my mother cried

"I don't just do this for me I do this for you too"

I said trying to calm her down.

"I told you, get ready tomorrow you will accompany me on a mission"

said my father who leaves with a slight smile on his face without saying anything else

"Promise me that you are careful and that you get married before 20 and you will give me many grandchildren and I forgive you"

She said holding my hands and looking into my eyes

"I PROMISE, I PROMISE NOW STOP CRYING PLEASE"

I said

Then she leaves muttering under her breath with a happy face that she tries to hide

'That wasn't set up was it?'

I thought.

So we had dinner and went to sleep.
