AN: Wow. This fan-fic is almost at 1000 collections. It's amazing seeing how large it got. Also, expect the plot to start in the next couple of chapters. It's going to be fun.

Sounds of metal hitting each other reverberated throughout the meadow. Homura was seen with a small tanto in his hand, something he only uses when he gets serious, and the number 4 had 2 kunais in his hand.

Wounds could be seen pilling up on both of their bodies. But Homura was in worse shape. His chakra was depleting fast. If he kept his pace, he would pass out due to chakra exhaustion in 3 minutes. He needed to do something.

'But what?' Homura thought, frustrated at his own weakness. 'How can a ninja be 20x faster than me? That's impossible.' He thought, while parrying number 4's barrage of attacks.

Ding: It's called experience. He has way more experience fighting than you do.

Homura thought that through and calmed down, all while fighting. 'If I lack experience, then I can brute force it. I'm going to have to risk it.'

"FUCK IT TIMES 30!" Homura screamed. He had at most 20 second to fight in this form.

"Fuck." Number 4 said. "I'm screwed."

Homura flashed to number 4's location in a 100th of a second. Pumped with adrenaline and raw energy, Homura sliced down with his tanto. Number 4 was too slow to react.

Number 4's body was cut cleanly in half. The two halves were only stuck together by his blood. They slowly fell a part, blood gushing everywhere.

"What the hell? I'm that powerful?" Homura said, while going back to his regular form. His hands were shaking. Blood was all over them.

"Yes. Yea you are that powerful. Very good job. You realized your faults and risked it all. I'm very proud of you." Akira said, with a smile on her face.

Suddenly she shifted her mood. "But, you need to build you foundation. You in your base form could barely compete with an inexperienced chunin. For now on out, I forbid you from using that form unless you have to. Also, you will be training in 4 Times gravity for now untill you start the academy. You will become a great ninja, you just have to work for it."

'Damn. When she talks like that, she is very scary.' Homura thought, with a shiver going down his spine.

"I'm ready when you are." He said.

"Ok. Get a good nights sleep. I'll keep watch." Akira said.

Homura woke up the next morning. It was calm. There was a slight breeze, and it was refreshing. It would be the perfect day for physical activity.

Akira, noticing Homura waking up, said, "We are about to leave the country. We're going back to the leaf."

Homura had a look of relief on his face. "Thank god. I hate this country. It's so bland."

"That's rude. This country makes the rice that you eat." Akira responded.

Homura just shrugged.

"Here, put this on. It's a times 4 gravity seal. Your going to really feel it."

Homura had an akward look on his face. Yes, he wanted to get better, but the next couple of days are going to be living hell.

He then promptly put the seal on. He immediately felt the effects. Everything felt heavy. To lift his arm up was a hard thing to do.

After adjusting for a couple of minutes, they made there way outside. Akira took a deep breath. "Alright, let's go. And don't go to slow."

AN: Fight scenes are really hard to write and they are probally boring to read. I'll try my best to convey them properly.
