9 new Kenjutsu style

"hey, sensei?"

"what is it Haruto?"

"my understanding of the basic kenjutsu is considerable, so I wish to learn a style"

"...okay but why are you so formal about it?"

"...ill be honest with you, I have no idea"

"Okay...so basically you need help with picking out a style?"

"yeah" I answer as I sit down and order a box of Dango.

"so what do you need me for?"

"well, you are Hatake, and if anyone you should know."

"hmmm very well, you focus on speed and precision, right?"

"yes," I say, as I take a bite of Dango that just arrived.

he just flips another page, I assume he's thinking.

"well, Hatake style would suit you"

wait...what?

"...are there any other styles?"

he looked mock hurt at that question.

"oh, you don't want that style of kenjutsu?"

"wha-That's not what I mean, It's a clan style isn't it?"

"well yes, but I'm the only Hatake left, and I'm quite fond of you Haruto, If you had not come to me with this question, I would have offered you say, maybe before the chunin exams"

...well, I wasn't expecting this, wait gotta make sure?

"so, you will train me in Hatake style kenjutsu?"

he just shrugs.

Oh no, what now, uh oh I know.

"sensei, If I ever find Jiraiya-sama, I will get the original copy of his new book"

he responds with a chuckle.

"oh, and how will you manage that?"

"I have my ways, some valuable information should be enough"

with a raised eyebrow he tosses me a scroll.

I bow my head and exit the Dango place.

( Im going to have fun with this, time to go back in my simulation)

and with that thought, I head straight to my apartment.

___

okay, it's been a few hours and this is getting annoying.

going through another set of katas that this damn scroll had I finally achieved the result

[kenjutsu has evolved to Hatake style kenjutsu]

okay, that only took about 3 hours.

sighing to myself I start doing katas more fluently now with the help of the system, the only reason I wanted a new style is that I was using a basic style this whole time, now before you say anything.

I thought that if I had a solid grasp on basics I would learn other styles easier.

and I was right, now the only thing I need to do is get this to an acceptable level, which is about 30-40 to use in an actual fight.

I imagine since this is an advanced style it will have a higher level cap than the last one.

well, it's a good thing I had the next 6 days free.

___

[Hatake style Kenjutsu has leveled up to 28]

okay, it's getting there, but it would be better if I had someone better than me to train with...

I am an idiot, aren't I?

getting out of the simulation I get up from bed and head for the door, putting on my sandals I get out of my room.

okay now if I were kakashi where would I be?.

...on the road of life?.

I just decide to walk around and ask any ninja that crossed my path if they knew where he was.

after an hour I sit down on a bench when I hear a voice behind me.

"hey Haruto, how's your training coming along?"

looking back I see sensei there... on a tree.

"I have been looking for you," I say with a deadpan voice.

"and I have been following you"

"..."

"..."

"Anyway, can you spar with me I need someone better than me in kenjutsu, and you are the only one I know"

he gets in a thinking posture and then speaks up.

"go to training ground 7, ill be there shortly, I know someone that can help you out"

nodding to his words, he disappeared in a shunshin, I need to learn that.

heading to my destination.

after waiting for about 15 minutes he appeared in a swirl of leaves.

"...so who's the one coming? your girlfriend?"

"...that's not funny"

"yeah okay"

another swirl of leaves and a woman with purple hair wearing an Anbu uniform with a cat mask appeared.

I look at her, then at my sensei, then at the Anbu again.

isn't this Yugao?

"meet Neko, Neko meet Haruto"

I just stare at her blankly and give a nod, and she returns it.

"okay Neko here will train you if she finds you satisfactory after a few sessions she will come by when she has time"

kakashi said and with a wave, he disappeared again with a swirl of leaves.

I look over at Neko and we stare for a bit.

then she draws her blade...oh shit.

___

[Hatake style kenjutsu has leveled up to 47]

it's been a month since I started training with Neko, and it's been hard. my levels are not going up anymore, the [battle field] dungeon doesn't give me exp anymore when I farm there, the only thing I can do there is getting money.

okay, two months left, and I think it took a month to complete the wave mission.

on civilian speed, we should get there in about a week and a half, and a week for Zabuza to recover and three days to come back on ninja speed.

yeah, a month so we should get that mission any day now.

"good job Haruto-san your talent and hard work are both impressive, unfortunately, I have to take my leave as I have a mission to take care of"

with a nod and a shunshin, she's gone.

dragging myself out of the training ground, I head to my apartment to take a shower, and maybe a nap.

___

"wolf, in position"

"crow, in position"

"This is blossom, in position"

"This is, kid on drugs, in position"

"do you see the target?"

"wolf, target in sight ready for orders"

"move-in"

and with that, all four of us dashed towards the intended target, but it was naruto who caught it.

"target secure," I say into my earpiece.

"confirm the target, ribbon on the left ear"

"target confirmed, it's tora"

"good job, return"

"....sensei? is this necessary? you are sitting right there" I say pointing at a nearby tree.

"it's for the effect" he just shrugs and jumps down "let's report back"

___

in the mission hall, there sat the hokage handing out the missions.

"team seven reporting a successful mission of capturing tora"

"ah kakashi, I see your team is coming along well?"

"yes, hokage sama"

"so another D-rank mission?"

"no, Hokage sama, I think C-rank mission would be fine"

he ponders for a moment and then takes out a scroll from the "C-rank" section.

"Please, bring in Tazuna," he said to the chunin that was assisting him.
