Chapter 3: My mother is a what?

"So how was the training with your dad?"

my mother and I were tending to the deer that was owned by my family, we needed to herd them together and make sure none of them strayed too far from each other.

"Well, it was pretty fun, he explained to me a bunch of ways I can train in although I didn't really like the Taijutsu part as much as the Shurikenjutsu part, Shurikenjutsu was much more fun in my opinion and it also felt natural to hold a weapon in my hands, " I replied to her while slowly petting a deer that was lying down in front of me

My mother had the brightest smile I had seen to this date, "Hmm. I guess you are more like me in personality and more like your father in looks, thank god, I don't think I could deal with two of you, but I guess I do have something I can now train you in. My family had always been weapon masters, I personally use a Wakizashi, my father used a Jian, and soon we will have to find a weapon that fits you, although it will be hard to find one until you stop growing." I was amazed at what she told me, in the anime, it was said that she was only chunin level that clearly wasn't the case here.

"Wait, you are a Kenjutsu master?" I asked with a shocked look on my face

She chuckled at my reaction and smiled at me "Yes I am, most of my family had been ninjas and they were all Kenjutsu users although we did have some use Bojutsu it was only some that used it but we were all well versed in Bukijutsu, we all specialized in something."

"Wow, I never thought we had a bunch of Bukijutsu masters in the family." and when I said this I noticed she immediately looked down somberly.

"Sadly that is not the case anymore, my father and mother had died in the third ninja world war and my only brother died on an A-rank mission, he had encountered some missing-nin from Iwa and now I am the only practitioner of my family techniques." When I heard that my impression of Iwa immediately went down, we were already enemies as villages, but I wouldn't hate them just because ninjas who had defected from Iwa killed someone I never truly knew, although if it had happened now, I would get revenge without batting an eye.

"Mom, I want you to teach me Bukijutsu." I declared with determination, the least I could do was honor my ancestors by mastering their art and use it to cut down my enemies.

My mother just smiled at me likely knowing what I was thinking, " I will teach you normal Bukijutsu until we find a weapon that suits you, once we do I will see if I can find a scroll in the storage for that weapon, and trust me there are very little amount of weapons we don't have techniques for."

I smiled knowing that I was coming closer and closer to my goal, while it wasn't much it would definitely help me, any strength I could get my hands on was welcome if it meant I could protect my family.
