Chapter 13: Weapon Master; On the moved.

<Timeskip 1 week>

It was already a week after our group date. During the week, I went to attend the class in the academy. It was already known by Iruka-Sensei and other teachers that I was overqualified from attending their lessons. I was first on every aspect of examination that the Academy has, first on the Practical Exam, first on Physical Examination (Taijutsu), first on Ninjutsu Examination and Genjutsu Examination, and lastly first on Chakra Control.

Iruka-Sensei and other teachers who are in charge of our class already complain to the dean that I should apply for early graduation, but they were denied by the dean. The only thing that the dean said was, that it was the order of the Hokage to let me stay and graduate along with the others. And because of that, the teachers decided to let me be.

Iruka-sensei even told me to hold back a little during his Taijutsu Lessons and Examinations which I comply with because I don't want other civilian kids to call me a monster or anything in case they were grouped into me. But luckily for them, I was only partnered with the Clan Kids who were my friends so with that I gave them some pointers on how can they improve themselves and also beat the shit out of them without worrying about any consequences.

During my free time, I also trained with Guy-Sensei along with Lee. We trained their usual training routine and he was shocked to see that I can follow their intense training and even Guy's intense workout. I also asked Guy-Sensei to train me on his specialty which is the forbidden Jutsu, Gates of Opening (Hachimon Tonkou), At first, he was reluctant to teach me the Gates of Opening but I insisted and told him that I want to excel on Taijutsu and attained the title of The Strongest Taijutsu Practitioner. He accepted because he saw my passion to become the strongest and saw my burning Youth and with that he told me how to open the gates and also told me not to open the final gate because it will result in my death. And Lee being Lee claimed me as his rival in becoming the strongest Taijutsu practitioner.

<Nero POV>

It was Friday today, I was walking towards the training grounds and decided to skip class and let my Shadow Clone attend the class today instead. To be honest, I was already bored attending the Academy. I can't find a proper opponent inside the Academy and I already know what they are teaching. If it wasn't for the Ino, Hinata, and my friends I already accepted my granduncle's proposal to graduate early.

Heck, I can even idle around and wait until the others graduate, Then while I'm at it I can even start my own business. While I'm already a qualified medic, I can't just stay inside the hospital and treat ill and injured persons and help others giving birth. Even though medical professional is a good profession I can't just let myself cooped up inside the offices and assist patients. While I was complaining about how bored I was and my life situation. I heard the sound of kunai, and shuriken hitting the wooden doll. When I arrived at the training ground, I saw a lone girl practicing throwing different kinds of Ninja Tools. I was shocked at how many kunai and shurikens were being showered on the poor wooden doll. As a weapon master itself, I can see that she has the potential to also become one in the future.

When the girl felt my presence she stopped throwing her ninja tools and greeted me.

"Ohh. Who might you be? And what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the academy right now attending classes? It's quite early for you to be here right now. perhaps you also skip class today? "the girl said.

I was taken aback by her questions. So I simply answered her why I was here and not in the Academy right now.

"Ahhh. You see I skipped the class today because it was boring and I summoned my clone to attend the class instead. I'm Nero by the way. The reason why I was here is that I thought I can practice here alone but since it was already occupied by you can I ask to join you to train instead? And also did you say that you also skip class today? I asked her while scratching the side of my face.

"Huh? Did I say that?? Maybe you misheard it hahaha. I'm Ten-Ten by the way. Well, it's okay for you to join me it's more fun to train with others. While I was training, I saw that you were quite shocked to see me using many different kinds of ninja tools do you have anything to say about it? "Ten-Ten introduced herself and questioned me on her way of using ninja tools.

"Ah well, you see I believe in using different kinds of ninja tools you need to be discreet and you need to know how to counter your enemies. Although it is great to use different ninja tools in different situations you also need to know on what type of enemy you are facing.

For example, if your enemy is proficient in Wind Release, throwing Shurikens and Kunai is a lost cause. Shuriken and Kunai can't bypass the Wind Release you need to use a different method or different ninja tool to counter the Wind Release.

So I think even if you are proficient in using ninja tools you also need to be proficient in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and even Genjustsu to counter your enemies." I said.

"Hmmm, you are right. But you see I'm not good at other Jutsus. I was even third to the last in Taijutsu in my class. My Ninjutsu is also a fluke, I can't use nature release. but I'm good at space-time ninjutsu and sealing. I can store a lot of ninja tools inside the scroll. Then for Genjutsu hahaha I can't even perform it. And my Chakra Control is not that great. That's why I used Ninja tools instead." Ten-Ten said feeling down.

"Ohh. Well, I have a proposal for you. How about I introduced you to someone proficient in Taijutsu? Although he can't also perform Nature Release, his Taijutsu is probably on the top list. Then for Chakra Control, I can probably help you with that I think? Hahaha," I said.

Then she moved at me at a fast paced.

"Is it true???! Are you saying the truth???!" she said while choking me with my collar shirt.

"Ahh yes yes, it's true. Please stop choking me I c-can't breathe." I said while trying to catch my breath.

"Yay! But wait a minute, why are you doing this? I only meet you right now, why are you trying to help me? Hmmmmm are you perhaps trying to make me feel in-depth to you? " she said feeling suspicious of my action.

"Huh?! Why do you think that I want to make you feel in dept to me? I was only trying to help you! And also I saw your passion for becoming a strong kunoichi someday, see your hands are full of calluses from your throwing and using of different ninja tools. If not for that I will not try to help you." I said.

"Is it true? No hidden meanings? No other reasons? You don't want my body??. If it's true then thank you very much for helping me." she said feeling happy about it.

"What the?! Who wants your body!!!"

"Hehehe I was joking you know. So how about you help me train? Help me train Taijutsu and Chakra Control." She said

"Fine. While I'm at it I can also teach you how to use different weapons. If you would know I mastered different weapons. I can teach you that along with Taijutsu and Chakra Control. And also I will introduce you to Guy-Sensei. Guy-Sensei is also currently teaching me Taijutsu along with others." I said.

And with that, I started to train with Ten-Ten.

<Unknown Location>

On the outskirts of a destroyed small village, two ninjas can be seen walking out of the village.

"Let's go, we have a new mission. It's an Assassination request on the Land of Fire." Unknown man said to his partner.

"Jie-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha I can't wait to offer them to XXXX XXXX XXXX." Unknown man said.
