Harsh Training

My new teacher, whose named I learned is Hatsuma Senju, where now standing In a small training ground in the back of her dome shaped home. We immediately came here through the house after she let me in. Speaking of her house it was only a one room place. Their was a kitchen in one side and the other side had her bedding area, while the middle was a dining table.

It might sound a little janky but it was a actually a nice and homy place. It was very clean and everything was in order. I could see how someon living by their self would enjoy living like this. Plus its near the market area so she is still withing the happenings of the compound.

The training ground, as I said, is pretty small probably not even ten meters in length. It s a descents size but not a lot of room for shinobi to train. But on the plus side the whole backyard is encased in border of trees that block people from seeing in. So, we do have privacy.

Right now me and Hatsuma are standing in the middle of the training ground and she is eyeing me up.

"Alright boy, show me what you got." She tells me while crossing her amrs under her ample breast.

"Umm, how?" I aksed. Not sure what she wanted me to do exactly.

"Hmm, just show me what you can do. You can attack if you need to, I'll be fine." She smiles at me.

Still not a hundred percent sure at what she wanted i just nod my head.

I make the hare hand seal "Speed Release!" I shout and my body uundergoes the transformation again.

"Hooh, that's unique. Come on" She chuckles and motions for me to come.

"Ok" I reply, my voice is noticeable deeper than before. Still noticeably prepubecent but deeper nevertheless.

I size up my opponent and I couldn't notice any opening so I decide to circle her until I found one. I kick off and go as fast as I could in a circle around the woman. In just a few seconds I have went at least six times around the woman but still I couldn't notice any type of opening. I did see a smile on her face that grew as I went around her but that wouldn't help me.

'Fuck it' I say to myself and just decide to attack.

I went around her a few more times before suddenly changing directions and running to her in a zig-zag. When a get to her I fake like i am going for her left side before stoping my momentum and zooming back to her right and sending a strike to her hip.

My attack was clear and I was sure it was going to hit but just before it connected, I suddenly felt some wind, then my back felt like it was on fire and I felt all the wind leave my lungs.

"Ah!" was all I was able to let out as I lookd up at the sky. It took me a few seconds to realize that i was even on my back.

"Oh~, your pretty fast. I don't know what Kekkei Genkai that is but I can see why your mother brought you to me." I heard Hatsuma say in an playful voice as she lookd down at me.

I look up with an aggrieved expression. My back was on fire and this woman was just standing her joking.

"H-how did you catch me?" I ask as i stood up rubbing my lower back.

"Your fast, but I've killed faster and fought people even faster than that. You have a long way to go before you can catch me off guard kid." She say with a smug grin.

"Haah, fair enough." was all I was able to say. My shoulders had slumped a little though. Even though I know she was right it still wasn't nice to hear.

"You have a good start though, but you have a long way to go. Honestly, it looks like you haven't trained a single day in your life. Your punches are off, your arms are weak, you have no balance…" My teacher started to complement me but it soon turned into a relenting bombarrdment of all my flaws in the brief exchange we had.

By the end of it I wanted to curl into a ball and act like I don't exist.

"Alright, enough with your flaws. I would go ove your positives but besides speed you have none. So, lets skip that we will first work on you strength and balance. My jaw hurts" She says as she stretches her jaw out to relieve the tension.

"Umm how are we going to do both strength and balance training?" I was confused on how I would do both.

"Huh,. oh thats easy." She smiled at me. It was the same sweet smile she ahd been given me this whole time but this time it felt much more malicious.

*Whack*

"Keep your foot up, Itama!" Hatsuma said as she struck his left leg with a wooden cane.

Right now Itama was standing on one leg on a balance beam, both his arms were out stretched in a T pose. The balance beam is ten feet above ground making for his potential fall very freighting.

On his upper body he is now wearing a weighted flack jacket, and his legs had weights on them. The jacket is an Uzumaki strength training specialty item. The inside is mostly a very heavy lead like metal, with the outer cloth being covered in gravity seals. The same is true for the weights on his legs.

Right now he is only on the base weight, but he feels as if he is going to die. He didn't know just how heavy the jacket and leg weight are but it felt like he was caring at least 400 lbs

"10 minutes up! Switch legs." Hatsuma barked.

And like a trained soldier Itama immediately switched legs with a little hop.

He was currently on his second set of this routine. At first he thought it would just be his legs, but after the first twenty minutes he heard her tell him to switch to his legs. His face lost all color.

Knowing that it was for the best he bent down and slowly got into one-handed hand stand. But before he could get in position he was whacked twice, with the wooden cane.

One for being too slow and the other for putting both hands on the beam. That was when Itama learned he had to switch between hands and feet like he would switch between his feet. Itama truly shed tears at that moment. He couldn't tell but he could've sworn he heard a giggle.

"Switch" Hatsuma called

'I understand now mother' he said to himself as he switched to his left hand.

'Where is cps when you need them' Itama lamented one more time to himself before continuing stead fast with his training.
