Training 3...

Hidden Stone Village. Shiba Clan.

The morning sun shone brightly on the sky, Most of the clan children were running toward the instructing hall while laughing gleefully.

Today kids aged 6-8 will be starting learning their ninjutsu, they could not help but feel excited.

The training hall was filled with noise and cacophony of children talking to each other. It has been quite some time since they were asked to come here, but there was no sign of the instructor.

" Does anyone knows where is Akira? Why is he not coming" asked Yuki to the group?

" How will we know where is he? He lives in the clan center. If anyone can know that would be Hana" retorted a boy from the group.

Before anyone could question Hana about Akira's whereabouts she without any emotion uttered " I don't know" stopping any question they had in their minds.

Yamato not liking Akira one bit complained " Does he thinks he is the instructor? If he arrives on time, then there will be no problem but if he comes later than the instructor; he is dead meat," He then started praying.

"Woah! Since when did Mr. Yamato become best friends with Mr. Akira? That you are praying for his safety." scorned Yuki.

" Ish! " as if hearing something repulsive Yamato said" Don't say such bad words! I am praying so that he arrives late than our instructor, and receive punishment, " imagining Akira being punished brought a smile to his face.

The person who was mentioned here was running at his breakneck toward the ground ' Shit I overslept, I will surely be punished but if the instructor is someone known to me and he complains to mom then I am dead, please don't be someone I know...'

While I was near the training ground gate I saw someone unexpected, I stopped near and greeted" Good morning Uncle Ren. Are you here to see Hana? " I paused seeing no reply I requested "Well come with me, Let me call her" then started walking towards the gate.

Uncle without saying anything followed my pace.

" Don't you have training today, what are you doing here?" asked Uncle.

" I overslept, Haha.."

Entering the ground I shouted" Hana your father has come to see you, come near the gate"

" No need, Everyone present here rearrange into 10 lines" he ordered before jumping on the stage. Though he said it in a low voice it boomed in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing the order first everyone became a little confused but when they came to understand the meaning of what he meant our mouths remained wide, and our breathing rates and heart rates accelerated. Everyone started sweating.

He landed on the stage and seeing us disoriented shouted " What are you standing still for? Fall in line Quick. I don't have time all-day "

We quickly fall in line without saying a word. He then watched us for a few seconds and then said the line we feared the most" I will be your Instructor for the next 2 years, My name is Ren Shiba. Yesterday you had your last class regarding Bikujutsu and Taijutsu but that doesn't mean you lot won't be studying those." He paused looked toward our pitiful face and said "No, nothing changed, the routine remains the same but Ninjutsu and a few other courses will be added. If anyone wants to drop out now is the chance because there is no next time"

After the ground remained quiet for some time 6 students voluntarily backed out from the training.

" So only six, quite a confidence from the remaining ones," taunted Uncle Ren

A boy named Kuchi, a branched clan member and a good friend of Yamato asked under his breath " Hey, Hey, Hey Yamato why are you all sweating that much,? I know Uncle Ren is the next clan Patriarch but that doesn't make him frightening. So why are students dropping out?."

Hearing him Yamato smirked and said without turning back" To us, he may be Uncle Ren but to our enemies, he is Light Asura, In the First Ninja war, the number of enemies he killed might be more than the total no enemies killed by the clan. So Grandpa fearing he might go on a dark path brought him out of the war to train children our age. Thinking that remaining with bubbly kids might cast aside the dark cloud in his heart and make his heart full of sunshine."

" But he made those children train like maniacs, he brought the potential hidden in them and made what we know as 15 guardians of the Clan. He is cruel to his enemies but is crueler to his students. It was known at the start of the training that 50 students were present, but the training ended with only 25 students, 15 dropped out in the middle."

"So what do you think, do you want to train here?" Yamato questioned Kuchi turning back.

"Wh- What happened to the other 10 students," asked Kuchi sweating and his voice quivering.

I replied" Well rumors are they died, But rumors are rumors don't believe those"

Uncle Ren looked toward us and shouted " No talking when I am on the ground, Let me start with the theory first. Let's start with what is ninjutsu. It is one of the three main jutsu categories. Ninjutsu is the most nebulous of the three, and may most simply be described as anything that is not genjutsu or taijutsu. Most ninjutsu requires chakra and hand seals, but this is not always the case since the mere usage of weaponry qualifies as ninjutsu, which means you all have learned ninjutsu. There is a huge range of ninjutsu's uses is illustrated by its several sub-classifications: medical ninjutsu, reincarnation ninjutsu, space-time ninjutsu, barrier ninjutsu, sealing jutsu, cursed seal jutsu, and sensory ninjutsu."

"Most ninjutsu use shape transformation, which deals with controlling the form and movement of the ninjutsu, while nature transformation deals with changing the ninjutsu's physical properties. Ninjutsu that uses nature transformation tends to follow a naming convention of their nature type followed by a more specific name. With practice and experience, certain ninjutsu can become second nature to a ninja, allowing them to perform it at will."

" Today we will be learning one of the easiest jutsu <Transformation jutsu>, But before that everyone here runs 10 laps around the field except Akira, Kuchi, and Yamato who will be running 20 laps "

Ren Looked toward the students and thought 'let's see if this batch has good seedlings.'
