27 [Wind and Earth! Part-2]
'...'
'You can totally make her feel whatever you want...big scary ninja with a beard and son of the FREAKKING HOKAGE!!... Why is every beautiful girl in love with someone else...ugh'
I sulk around as we arrive at training ground 10, Shikamaru-san and Asuma-san were playing shoji while Chouji-san was eating chips sitting beside them. Ino-san on the other hand was lying face down on the ground some space away, and looking at the state of her hair, 'yep, the little princess threw a tantrum and is taking a timeout...'
"Asuma! I need a favor"
'...what'
*blink*
'I swear her ears just twitched...'
Ino who was pretending to sleep noticed that they had company upon hearing Kurenai-sensei's voice and perked up. She tiptoed closer and leaned forward to catch the conversation going on between the two jounin's…
"What favor Kurenai-chan!" Realizing that the battle was lost anyway he gave up on the game and stood up...Shikamaru seemed annoyed at that as he slowly began to fold his Souji set…
'Yup, definitely twitching...' The grin on Ino's face started to stretch as she realized her sensei add chan to Kurenai-sensei's name…
"Tobi-kun here has wind natured chakra since you are the only person I know who has mastered wind release I hoping you could start him out on the right path..."
'...now Shikamaru's years are twitching and he is staring at me hard...'
Asuma-san looked at me from up to down and then turning back towards Kurenai, "you sure he is ready?"
Kurenai-Sensei nodded so Asuma-san walked up to me… He lit up a cigarette as he picked up a leaf from the ground. I concentrated on the leaf as I felt his chakra forming a thin line and slicing the leaf into two halves…
"Wind, it is an element which is difficult to tame, it is more free-flowing than water, and can cut anything sharper than lightning. These are the two main elements whose properties wind can show. As it is very free-flowing it can be used for both offense and defense, but the wind element is most destructive when its fangs are sharpened to a very fine degree..."
He looked at the katana sheathed on my back and pointed towards it with his cigarette, "you any good with that..."
I nod my head so he pointed towards a tree some 10m away and said, "Try your hardest attack on that tree...try to cut it down..."
I nod my head an unsheath my Katana and stood dashed towards the mentioned tree and at the last moment turned my body to transfer all the energy into my slash...I also amplified my hand muscles with chakra and used magnet release again to accelerate my sword…
'Secret sword art: Moonlight'
Light bounced off the edge of the katana as it left after-images on its way through the tree… I walked back towards everyone as the tree fell down behind me…
'Heh! I'm awesome...yup keep up those stares of awe...'
"So you managed to learn, Secret Sword art: Moonlight, well that is impressive I was thinking you would, at most be able to go through half of the tree's girth...anyway, I can see that you still need to expend quite a lot of effort and pain to handle that jutsu..."
'Tch!' I went through the hand seals and started to heal ease the pain in my muscles…
'Mystical Palm Jutsu'
Asuma-san looked at the green glow on my left hand and then turned towards Kurenai-sensei with a raised eyebrow… Upon seeing a smug face his face went stiff and he looked back at his team… Shikamaru was sleeping, Chouji was eating another chips packet, and Ino...
'Why is she looking at me like that!'
"*sigh*, Well since you managed to do that, this may seem a little less impressive but watch..." He took out a trench knife from the hostler on his waist and loosely held it in his right hand...A fine layer of white chakra covered the knife and it started to extend from the edge to form half a foot long whip-like blade… The chakra started to hum a little as he lazily flicked his kunai into a spin, it went from one side of a tree and exited the other and still went through several more trees before falling to the ground…
*thud*
*thud*
*thud*
Sounds of falling trees can be heard from a distance as several trees in a line fell onto each other… at the point of separation of trees, the surface was smooth as if polished for days whereas in my case it looked like the tree was cut down by saw…
'What the fuck did you mean by less impressive...all adults are mean...'
"What you just saw was the cutting power of wind release, now in order to achieve that first, you need to take a leaf..." I picked up a leaf from the ground and looked back at him…
"Now press the leaf between your palms and imagine your chakra cutting the leaf in two parts...what you need to do is break your chakra into two parts and grind it against each other, sharpening it until you can cut the leaf. Once you can do that you just need a sword made of chakra metal and apply the same technique to the edge of the sword and experiment a little bit..."
I close my eyes and start concentrating on the leaf… I channel a little chakra and ground it against each other before trying to cut the leaf with it...hearing a familiar ding I open my eyes and my palm to notice there is a little cut on the edge of the leaf and a notification window in my vision…
[Wind release Proficiency increased by 0.1%]
"Hmm… you managed to do it faster than I thought… keep practicing and you will get it… Now, Kurenai-chan there is your favor done, would you like to..." He suddenly stopped and looked around at all of us especially at the cheerful grin on Ino's face…
"...Nevermind I'll ask you about it later..." as the sensei and student went through a glaring match, Kurenai-sensei said, "Okay, team, you have a day off, tomorrow at 7:00!"
"Yes, Kurenai-Sensei" we each monotonically replied as we made our way towards the exit of training ground 10…
"Hinata-chan, Shino-kun you guys wanna eat something?" Since we were getting closer I decided why the hell not and…
'Why can I feel Ino's gaze on my back… no, no don't feel curious, I am just a peasant princess, leave me alone and go back towards you emo teme...'
"Are you okay, Tobi-kun? You seem disturbed?"
I look at the concerned expression on Hinata's face and notice Shino is also walking a little closer to the group…
"Nah! I'm fine Hinata-chan, so you wanna eat?"
"Yes...Ummm can we go to this restaurant by the Hokage building…?"
"Anywhere Hinata-chan..."
We walked out of the training ground but I notice the same chakra signature in the periphery of my sensory range that I have been sensing during the past week…
'Alright, that's enough...Inspect'
