8 Chapter 8 The Day

*6 days later*

The day has finally come I get to learn how to use a fucking fan.

I've been trying to get used to my training but I'm only able to do half the workout still.

There's obviously no change in my appearance since it's only been a week but whatever.

It's time to take my first step into the shinobi world.

I woke up at 4:30 so I could prepare myself I took a shower and changed into casual clothes, since it was summer those were t-shirt and shorts.

Since my parents were still asleep I quietly walked down the stairs then opened the door to my house and left.

It was 4:50 so I still had plenty of time to make my way to Takeda's house.

does he have a last name?

I guess some people just don't like Jiraiya and Gaara.

"I'm getting off track let's get to his house"

I start running and after what I think is 8 minutes I make it to his house.

I knock on the door and Takeda opens.

"you're late"

"What?"

"you were supposed to get here at 5:00 and it's 5:02

This fucking old man, it's only 2 minutes.

"can you let it slide since it's only 2 minutes"

"Do you think the Hokage was 2 minutes late to his training"

Did I ever say I want to be Hokage and why would I want to be like that child abandoner?

"I'm sorry"

I guess I'll have to be the bigger person.

"Just don't let it happen again"

We go inside and move directly to the backyard and then he starts speaking.

"Do you know the fundamentals of Tessenjutsu"

Of course, I don't know I'm here to learn arent I.

"no"

"There are 2, there's one where you use a giant fan and attack with large gusts of wind and the large body of the tessen, and then there's the one I'll be teaching"

Stop with the suspense and just tell me.

"My brand of Tessenjustsu is quite different instead of being on the attack you'll be on the defense, and instead of having a large fan, you have a smaller and sharper fan.

"But didn't you use the Fan to cut the tree?"

Of course, you can be on the offensive but for people, like yourself, you can't even do a hundredth of what I can"

That's a great way to motivate me.

"Let me show you attack me"

I've been waiting to do this.

I run towards him at full speed and try to hit him, he grabs my arm then flip me, as I'm on the floor he pulls Tessen unfolds it, and puts it towards my neck I feel sharp metal pointing there

"If we were fighting for real I would have killed"

So maybe the fan isn't as useless as I thought.

"So how do I do that"

"First, you need to learn to restrain and disarm your opponent"

"There are plenty of places to restrain your opponent the arms, going for their legs, you can also get them by their hand and pulling them down, basically you'll be learning joint locking and getting your opponent off their feet"

"Ok I can do that let's try"

"I'll punch you and you'll need to try to counter"

Takeda punches me with minimal force, I grab his arm and try to flip him as he flipped me but I wasn't strong enough.

"That's good but you didn't have enough strength to finish it off the workout I prescribed was meant specifically for gaining strength and a strong body, so for the next few years I'll be taking it slow and teaching all the basics"

"ok that seems fair since my body needs to develop, But when do I start with the fan?"

"You'll be practicing the fundamentals with a wooden fan until your done with the basics"

This seems like a pretty good first step.
