22 Chapter 21

The scenery in front of me was amazing. The city was built on small steeped hills, which almost touch the clouds.

Every house was built on top of a steeped spike with circular stairs leading up. There were houses below too.

And in the center of the city, there were huge spiky range, upon which you could see many magnificent houses. I could tell just by looking those houses that they housed the rich class of the city.

All in all, the city was huge, with small hills that looked like big sized spikes scattered around and houses occupying any place that was empty.

As the carriage drove through the city, me and Hiroshi both were in the city for the first time and were awed by its beauty. We peeped out and looked at bustling streets and beautiful scenery.

There was also a river flowing through the city, where fishermen caught fish. The clear water and the existence of fishes indicated the care taken to keep the river clean. The river originated from a waterfall, making it a perfect tourist spot.

I was already loving it, and just to make life even more good, they even had hot springs at some locations, and the red light area. The city was the perfect one to stay in.

We drove to our house and the typical rich people drama begun. I helped Aki give the detailed report, mentioning the numerous cuts on the forehead protector.

I wanted to make sure that they figure out that he was a defected ninja. I didn't want to start a war. As for the problems in the house, Aki's sister in law wasn't happy about Aki's survival.

She was planning on getting all the money Aki's husband had. As for me, when everyone asked about me, she said I was her second son. Everyone believed due to my blonde hair.

I was touched again. Hiroshi didn't like it, but he knew I wasn't that easy to mess with, and he already had problems in hand.

I said to Hiroshi telepathically "You can tell just by looking at your aunt that she considers us a hindrance. So, I will support you and keep you safe. You also watch out for me and keep my identity a secret."

Hiroshi could tell that he wasn't safe in the house and he currently didn't have any influence in the house. He can't even get 100 ryo to spend. So, he had to agree.

As for Aki's place in the house, since her husband was the main head of the family, she was the one in charge of everything in the family.

Though no one in the family liked that idea, they didn't have a choice. Since Aki's husband was extra keen on his and Aki's safety, he hired a team of top jonin class ninjas to be their personal body guards.

They only listen to him and Aki. With this power with her, she had a good stand in the house. But, this wouldn't guarantee total protection as if you spend a little fortune, you can get ninjas to do the job.

So, their status in the house was unstable. That's when I decided to help. I used my mind numb to make them delay their plans till I was strong enough to defend myself and the mother and son duo.

Aki used her influence to get me into the academy. Usually, the rich class don't send their kids to train as ninjas. Anyone who has money, wouldn't decide to become a ninja where they have to risk their lives for money, or sometimes their country.

Since the village was itching to increase their military strength, they accepted my application.

I had three months until the classes started. Till then, I decided to roam the city. I roamed the city and found many food stalls, blacksmiths, small merchants and clothing shops.

I did try to enter the red light area, but was kicked out immediately. But I wasn't going to give up. So, I used transformation jutsu and entered. I immediately regretted the idea.

Although I would have a boner, I remembered late that sperm production doesn't start till puberty. So, I ran from there and went back to sightseeing, making a mental note to not go there till 13.

I roamed around till night and returned after I ate the town special curry rice. As for the money I spent, I decided to borrow money from Aki's sister in law and return it in the future.

As I laid down on my bed, I kept thinking about how I was going to increase chakra. For now, the only info I had on chakra is that it is made from spiritual and physical energies.

I can already feel the steady increase in my chakra due to the increase in spiritual energy. I only need to now improve my physical strength.

And in here, I can do that without worrying about anyone spying on me. I also noticed in this world that not most ninjas have muscular body. I am not talking about bulky and muscular like the Rock, but even my taijutsu instructor only had slightly visible muscles.

I thought that they didn't show those in the show because I thought it was the author's art style, but no. I asked him about it and he answered "Ninjas focus mostly on single kill strikes. We don't want a prolonged fight, as that would contradict the whole concept of assassination.

So, ninja focus mainly on speed. When you are focusing on speed, more muscles in your legs would only hinder your movements and reduce your flexibility. And also, having a lean body helps get into small places easily.

Another thing to remember is that when the muscle mass increases, weight increases and that also slows you down."

Although I agree with some points he said, I still felt the need to have more physical strength. All I had to do is reach a point in physical strength that speed isn't a problem.

Gaining my inspiration from Might Guy, fat Raikage(third Raikage) and Killer bee, who were all fast and were not lean, I decided to start physical training.

Then another thought hit me. "I didn't know any training plans."

I didn't exercise in my old life and in the new one, I was given moderate exercises according to the instructor. At first, I thought of following the training of Root, but after remembering that it didn't do any good even for the elders, I dropped the plan.

Then a training plan came to mind. The training of a hero who went from a normal man to an invincible bald God.

With a detailed plan, I went to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be my first day of personal training.
