Chapter 3 training

|Dray pov|

I have been living with Oro for 6 years now, which makes me 7.

It seems my subconscious has in some way imprinted Oro as a sort of father.

We live on top of a mountain that has a thin fog that makes it constantly hard to breathe. This fog gets stronger once you get used to its previous level of thinness.

a year ago It felt like my lungs were constrained, but I've gotten used to the air here.

The second I could speak, I asked him to train me. All I was told was that I was too young for actual training. All he taught me were the basics of Senjutsu circulation, which I've been practicing till now because today's the day.

"I can't wait because I'll get to be a Sennin once I start learning."

Grabbing the side of my bed, I flip out of it and turn to the mirror to see a dark-skinned kid with radiant golden irises and vibrant emerald pupils. I also see my oddly flowing brown hair that falls into black locks.

I grab a wooden headpiece that I carved myself that pushes my hair back.

Imagine Kakuzu's hair style.

I then put on my training outfit, which consists of the upper part of a green Shaolin Monk Kung Fu Suit Tai Chi Uniform that I paired with a green belt and black momohiki pants.

Under my top, I have a skin-tight, breathable black long sleeve. I wanted to throw on some gloves and foot wear, but I was told that my hands and feet need to be exposed to natural energy for now.

Once I finished checking myself out in the mirror, I saw that I had reached 4 feet, 8 inches, which is really tall for my age. Finally, before I go out to talk to Oro about training, I decide to look at my status.

Wow, such rapid effects, and all I've done is senjutsu circulation and grow up; I've gained some new skills."

Alright, I wonder if I can hit C+ once I train. Heh, all that's left to do is find out.

I leave my room calmly, trying to hide my nearly exploding excitement to train, and step outside to find my master, or sort of father figure, meditating. As I walk towards him, I feel myself begin to float.

While I'm in the air being held up by Sen, I try and use my own senjutsu to push myself down near him, close to the ground, but I barely even make a small movement.

Oro opens his eyes and stares at me.

"I'm rather impressed to be able to put a little bit of will in your sen, which is quite a feat. I guess I can consider you worthy to teach. I just need to know two things, then we can train."

I squinted at him, then at myself, trying to hint at him to drop me.

Once he notices that I'm still floating, I instantly feel a little energy run through me, and I drop to the floor.

Once I hit the ground, I got up, looked him in the eyes, and casually scratched the back of my head.

Well, what do you need to know?"

Hmm, I need to know if the path of the fighter is the one you truly want to go down, because if you start, I won't allow you to stop."

He looks me dead in the eyes with a completely serious face that freezes me for a bit. After feeling his intense aura, I steeled myself.

Yes, master, I wish not just to walk down the path of fighting but to give it a full sprint. I will become a great fighter."

We lock eyes for a good while, then a smirk crawls up his face.

Good, I would have been heartbroken if your monstrous talent went to waste."

I smirked back at him.

Well, what is the next question?"

"The next question is Simple yet complicated. What does fighting mean to you?"

Once he says that, I begin to look up at the sky and think about what I wish to do. I see a bird freely flying through the sky and smile.

I reach my hand out to the sky.

"For me, fighting means freedom. It means to be free to be who and what you are to the world. It means to live. Fighting is taking the strength you've gained through life and the ideals you follow in their given form and clashing them with another person's experience. I know this can be a beautiful dance or a violent beating; either way, both have their charm."

I look over at Oro.

"Don't you agree?"
