Dirt Mouth

It's been a week since I started training with Hatsuma. Through this week I have been put through more torture than I think a person my age should experience. For the first five days, we did balance and strength training where I would have to balance on a beam with weights on.

The beam got increasingly higher and thinner as the days progressed, while the weights got heavier. It was excruciating to do and if not for chakra I'm sure I would've been dead, yet I can't lie and say that I haven't improved.

It's weird how fast the body improves with the use of chakra. It's not anything insane like being able to grow an arm back, still, muscle regeneration overnight is a peace of cake. Sleep regeneration is already an op when you think about it, probably in the top three of all things. Now add chakra, which is constantly passively rejuvenating and strengthening the body, to the mix and now you have the perfect concoction for superhumans.

While I won't lie and say that I'm now a balance god or have the strength of Heracles, chakra isn't that op (at least not yet), but I will say that the improvement is noticeable. Noticeable enough for Hatsuma to take me as her disciple. I guess I should start calling her Sensei now.

Regardless, I was conflicted when I was told that I would now be her disciple. On one hand, she is very strong and a very good trainer, while on the other she is a sadistic demon who doesn't care if you're crying and begging for her to stop your torture! Basically, she gets results, but at a steep cost! Fortunately, I quickly reminded myself about the times I live in before I reneged on the deal.

Anyways, on the sixth and seventh days, we started working on the basics of taijutsu- punches and kicks. So as you could guess, poor old me had to kick and punch a tree a thousand times. With each limb. This might not sound so bad at first, a thousand is a lot but at I am not wearing weights or having to balance on a beam again, right? Wrong! I have to do all those things, simultaneously!

That's right! I have to balance on a beam with weighted gear while punching and kicking a wooden stump. Better yet, if my strikes weren't up to par I had to redo them. So realistically I was doing one thousand and two hundred strikes with each limb.

Now one would think it can't get worse than that right? Wrong! I fucking still had to switch between my arms and legs while doing it. It is child cruelty! I tried to tell my mother (and anyone who would listen) but these people don't seem to care, in fact, they encourage it. Savages, I tell you!

Hehe, but don't worry though. I already have plans of revenge formed. First I just have to found the cps, then make the phone, and then call the cps on sensei, and finally, I will be free from her grasp! And she will rot in prison where the demon belongs.

"Kid, you ok?" My sensei asks as she opens her door pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Ah!" I jump back in shock, I had been so lost in my thoughts of revenge I forgot that I was walking to her house for training. I immediately look at her with a scared expression. I was terrified that she might have read my thoughts and was planning on punishing me. It might have been a little overreaction, but I don't know what this demon is capable of.

"Kid?" My sensei tilts her head innocently as she looks at me with some worry. The demon is trying to lure me in again as she did on the first day! I must quell her anger fast!

"Ah, sensei did you bathe in the waters of life, your skin looks beautiful today. You can't even tell your as old as my-" I'm not able to finish my sentence as my mouth is full of dirt and my head is on fire.

"What were you saying brat?" I hear sensei say as I pull my head from out of the ground.

"I was saying that you don't even look as ol- ah!" before I could finish my sentence my face was stuck in the ground again.

"Huh? I didn't hear you?" She asks leaning down with her left ear cupped.

I pull my head out of the ground again and look up at her. Although she had a smile on her face her eyes were full of malice. I had only seen such anger once before in my life. When Tobi told my mother that she was getting old. Now, I personally wasn't there for that but it was a core memory of the body. It is one of the reasons I know my mother is still very strong. I didn't even know it was possible to throw a human that hard.

"Nothing" I wisely say this time.

"Oh, I thought I heard you say something." she stands up and pats the debris off of herself "Anyways, come in we officially start your training today." she smiles and turns around.

"Damn demon, doesn't even like being complimented. Just pure-"

"You say something?" she looks back at me, interrupting my mumbling.

"No, Sensei!" I put on my sweetest and most innocent smile to appease the demon

"What are we learning today, Sensei," I ask with bright eyes as I run up to her.

"Today, my dear student, we will be doing a few 'warm up' exercises. And then I will move on to teaching you my taijutsu technique," she patted my head as she led me to the training ground.

My face fell when I heard warm-ups but it quickly improved when she mentioned that I would finally be learning her taijutsu technique. I would finally start learning something interesting, instead of being tortured the whole day! But before my mood could improve too much my teacher spoke again.

"Now, go put your weights on, you'll need them today." She patted my head one more time before walking off to the training ground.

My shoulders slumped as I made my way to the weights and put them on. I immediately felt like I was walking through quicksand.

"Haaah, another day another dollar" I sighed and trudged my way outside. This wasn't even the full weight, sensei will still activate the gravity seals when I get outside. I can already feel the tears forming in my eyes.
