Ch 7 : Chase in the forest

After that day, Tenma's daily life of going to the academy in the morning and training with Sanji in the afternoon continued.

Time passed, and days quickly turned into months, and months turned into years. Without him noticing, about two years had passed, and now Tenma had turned into an eight years old boy.

His status now looked like this.

[ Welcome to the strongest disciple system.]

[ Name: Tenma Shimura]

[ Current status: Konoha Ninja academy student.]

[ Current strength: 2-star]

[ Teacher: 1. Sanji Vinsmoke.]

[ Skill: Sanji's cooking (Lv.6), Sanji's black leg style (Lv.5), Chakra control (Lv.3)]

[ Jutsus: Ninja academy Three basic jutsu]

A lot of change had happened to Tenma, especially regarding his ability to master chakra.

After the news about him learning from a civilian got into the ear of the Shimura Clan Elder, Tenma was quickly brought back and got into intensive training in learning Ninjutsu over the past two years.

It is just his talent in Ninjutsu was not that good, and this was already his limit.

Fortunately, his training with Sanji was going really well. And based on Sanji's estimate, the current Tenma should at least equal to him at Water seven.

Today, the graduation exam was around the corner.

In a forest around Konoha, the sun shined brightly, and from time to time, the wind blows, bringing pieces of leaves to the ground.

BAMM!!!!

Wave of noises could be heard everywhere.

Tenma was training alone in the forest. His upper body was naked, showing his abs, and his legs continuously kicked at the big trunk of a tree.

There were marks all over the trees, signifying the power of Tenma's kick.

But this was not the most important thing here.

Because next to Tenma stood a guy with blonde yellow hair and a cigarette in his hand.

" It has been a few times. But really, I'm still shocked whenever I think there is really another world."

It was a bit of a surprise, but after Tenma's strength reached 2-star, he realized that the system space was no longer there. Rather, he would invite the teacher directly to his world. And that is why he needed to train secretly.

According to Sanji, Tenma currently had already reached his limit.

The next step was to learn the higher movesets like Skywalking or Haki. But the experience and Age barrier was no joke.

Though Tenma was sparring with Sanji every day, he had never done a life and death battle, and that is what separated Tenma from a veteran in battle.

Today a few of his kick was able to compress air pressure, but that's the most Tenma could do.

But suddenly, when Tenma was still immersed in his training, he could hear the sounds of battle.

Clangg!! Clang!!!

" Hmm.. what is that?"

Both he and Sanji looked in the direction of the battle.

But since the current Sanji had already mastered his observation Haki, he was quick to see what's happened and lose interest.

" Nah, just some guys battling each other. Nothing interesting to see."

Obviously, Sanji was not interested.

It might be different if the one battling was a beautiful girl.

However, two smelly guys fighting for their life? Usually, he would just let that algae hair handle them.

Still, trouble always comes no matter what.

On the other side of the forest.

A cold light flashed as two persons jumped behind the tree.

A full-fledged adult and a kid that looked no older than Tenma were clashing with their sword, and even though the adult was doing well, he looked a bit disadvantaged with wounds that had already filled his body.

A spy from Iwa was clashing with Kakashi, the best Genius of Konoha.

' I know he is hailed as a Genius but isn't this too strong?'

Bringing the sword in front of him with difficulty, the man managed to block Kakashi's strike. But Kakashi didn't even give the man time to take a breath.

He turned in the air and kicked the man in his abdomen.

" Damn!!" Cursed the man loudly. He was totally caught by Kakashi's continuous wave of attack.

The man flew five or six meters and landed in a tree.

And this all happened in just a split second.

Kakashi, still with his cold expression, landed right in front of the man.

He sheathed his sword and placed it near the man's neck.

" I don't want to waste my time. Speak, and I will give you a quiet death."

Under the evening sun, Kakashi's immature figure could be seen.

But the cold temperament and lifeless eyes really made him didn't look like a kid who was no older than seven years.

Blood began dripping from the man's neck.

The man had readied himself to receive his fate. He was about to eat the poison in his mouth to suicide.

It was at this time when…

*Zoom*

They felt someone was spying on them from afar.

It was so subtle, but this one moment was enough for the man to escape.

He utilized the moment where Kakashi was caught off-guard and quickly used a smoke bomb to cover his track.

" Shit…" Kakashi cursed.

Under the evening sun, the chase that had already stopped began once again.

The spy kept running away from Kakashi, but at this time, he found his chance to escape.

Because a few hundred meters in front of him, he saw a Konoha kid, training alone in the middle of the forest.
