Personal Tutoring (II)

Sakumo's POV

I along with elder Danzo and four other Jonins arrived at Daimyo's residence after getting Intel from one of our spies from Hidden village of Sand. The spy reported that a group of elite shinobi's are gathered in order to assassinate members of the daimyo family.

When the family members of the Daimyo entered I could sense three people in the shadows. I thought that they were protecting the Siblings. But stealth of this calibre cant be achieved this much proficiently. I saw Elder Danzo and other Jonins in the room only I could notice them.

I was assigned to guard the eldest daughter of the Daimyo by Danzo. But Daimyo insisted on me protecting Hideki Mononobe the future daimyo. Surprisingly Hideki rejected that proposal. I was quite surprised that Hideki openly reject his father's proposal. I could clearly sense the angry and worried look of a father. Daimyo suddenly regained his composure and ordered me to protect his other son EIgo Hatano.

I just noticed that the three shadows in the conference room following us stealthy. At first, I thought they might be spies so in order to confirm my thoughts I released Killing intent. As soon as I released it, one of shadows moved towards me. It was clear that there are protecting Eigo .

Eigo turned back at me and just smiled at me. Shadow which was moving towards me stopped and disappeared in the dark. Once I entered Eigo's residence, I could clearly sense around 20 shadows in his entire mansion. "What is the identity of these shadows which were protecting Eigo rather than Hideki the future heir of daimyo? What are their relationship? "I was lost in a thought.

As I was thinking about this Eigo, Shadows in the mansion started decreasing at a moment notice. I could sense the smell of blood in the mansion. I used body flicker jutsu and moved towards Eigo's room fastly.

But the thing that I saw clearly gave a shock.

.....

Eigo just smiled at Sakumo who entered the room with blood dripping down from his palm. Eigo saw confused,shocked and curious face of Sakumo.

"I was just testing about your skills Sakumo san "said Eigo smilingly.

Eigo asked Sakumo to sit in the chair near him. Sakumo was quite confused what Eigo was going to ask. Eigo didn't beat around the bush. He just asked Sakmo that "he wanted to learn ninjutsu and kenjutsu from Sakumo".

Sakumo looked surprised he said no and was about to move away from the room. Eigo knew Sakumo would refuse his proposal.

[Daimyo family are allowed to learn Samurai Swordmanship which have complex chakra manipulation technique .So that they could little chakra left to do ninjutsu. Their chakra network would be remodelled when they were 3 years old so that they could adapt to chakra manipulation to that level]

"Sakumo san stop before going out check my chakra network" Eigo said. Sakumo placed his hand over Eigo's head and noticed that all the chakra coils in EIgo's body that were twisted. It was because of the poison he had in his 5th birthday.

Sakumo stood there for a moment. He didn't ask how EIgo got injured. EIgo sama " I can't teach you any advanced jutsu even if I want to teach you your chakra would rebound and you might die. You can't learn anything because of limited chakra you have"

EIgo just smiled. "I know my condition that is exactly why I am asking you to teach me some jutsu's which can protect me from dire situations". Sakumo saw the resolve in Eigo's eyes. He finally approved on teaching EIgo.
