Pre-Academy [Part 2]

It had been over a week since I came to this world.

In this time I gained access to training resources, improved my chakra reserves and control enough to begin Gai like training.

I woke up at 6 and was really excited. Despite being a physically fit person in my previous life I could never complete this type of training. I would either pass out from exhaustion or worse.

But, thanks to Chakra I now had superhuman physical prowess.

I started with Gai's idea. Setting myself challenges, or set of self-rules if you will. "I will run around the compound 500 times, if I can't I will do 1000 push-ups and if I can't do the push-ups I will do 500 kicks and if I can't do that I would do 500 punches." I exclaimed.

I dropped down after 190th turn around the compound and picked myself up.

I started the push-ups and since I was tired I only got to 700, normally I should have been able to do the 1000.

I tried kicking a training post 500 times, but my legs got beyond tired after 200 kicks, so I moved to punches and again I could only do around 200 punches.

After that I took a long rest, promising myself to do better tomorrow. By the time I got home sun was already setting. I took a quick shower and ate my lunch. And started reading about various training methods Gai uses daily.

There were interesting ideas like climbing the Hokage mountain with one hand tied behind your back, or doing hand runs around the village to improve your upper body strength.

Leaving those ideas aside for now, I continued with leaf sticking and spinning exercises at night. I will not start learning tree climbing until I stop feeling challenged by these chakra control exercises.

Next day I repeated my exercises from yesterday. I pushed my body further than yesterday and did 209 turns around the compound, 712 push-ups, 207 kicks and punches.

The day after I repeated the same exercises and this time i did 220 turns around the compund, 732 push-ups, 230 kicks and punches.

On the forth day I continued with those exercises as well as practiced Interception Fist's katas and learned the basics of Shurikenjutsu. At this point I was going home well past sun set.

...

I continued with this schedule every day for 3 months. I can now complete the entire exercise, and the leaf sticking exercise was no longer challenging for me.

Thanks to my training schedule and the natural talent of an Uchiha, despite being 6 years old I now had the chakra reserve, control, taijutsu skills and physical capabilities of a mid tier Genin.

I decided to take a relaxing day and train in the Academy 3. I went back to the clan library and checked out the scrolls with those 3 Jutsus.

First Jutsu I decided to learn was Clone Jutsu, It took me a single try to create 5 clones. No wonder Naruto couldn't perform this Jutsu it required such a minimal amount of chakra.

Moving on... I tried a much more useful Jutsu, Transformation. After few tries I was able to get the hang of it and decided to try out the most useful Jutsu they taught in the academy.

Learning Substitution Jutsu took me a single try, much less than I expected, but I knew this was no where near enough. I would need to be able to perform this Jutsu without hand seals, or at least with one seal.

I still had majority of the day left. I started on an exercise I wanted to take on since coming here, The Tree Climbing Exercise.

Unlike how Kakashi taught Naruto and Sasuke I decided to try it like how Sakura had done. I focused a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of my feet and slowly walked up and down the tree. It wasn't that challenging at first but after a while I nearly slipped.

Mastering tree climbing might take longer than I expected.

"Yoh" a random man said while coming out of a tree's shadow. I threw a shuriken in reflex but he easily caught it. "Those are quite dangerous for a kid your age" the boy had short spiky hair and a ninja headband. Fuck this was Uchiha Shisui.

Regaining my cool "You aint that old yourself" I retorded.

He smirks and points at his shinobi headband "This means I'm an adult, kiddo"

I showed him the clan symbol in the back of my shirt "And this means I'm an adult"

He laughs at my response "Hahahaha~ I guess you are right. Nice to meet you kid. My name is Shisui" he introduced himself.

I nod my head and tried to leave quickly but he stops me. "You are pretty good, who trained you?"

I laugh at that "Hahahaha~ Who would teach an orphan, especially one that is seen as a bad omen."

He looks kinda saddened and says "I knew your father, you know. He was the one who trained me."

If I wasn't shocked at meeting Shisui, I was now "Really? What did he teach you?"

Shisui nods and replies "He taught me how to use this" pointing at his tanto "and how to throw these" taking out a shuriken and hitting a target that was quite far away. "as well as how to trick others"

Despite knowing the answer I asked "Do you also blame me for his death?"

Any amusement left on his face was lost as he said "Nah. He died while on a mission. It just happened to be on your birthday. Also I think I can at least teach you a thing or two. What do you say?"

I looked at him and said "Can I think about it?"

He nods and tell me "Come here tomorrow at 6 o'clock with your answer, if you want to we'll start your kenjutsu training and I'll help you improve your taijutsu and shurikenjutsu.

I was really happy and scared at the same time, but I think I managed to hide my emotions as I nod.

Just like that, Shisui disappeared right in front of my eyes.

He was Shunshin no Shisui after all.

*Sigh* Mendokusē
