Emotion Sensing Training

It's been two weeks since the academy started and let me tell you how boring it is. Most of what we learn is history about the creation of the five great ninja villages, of course, they changed the story to make Konoha look like paradise, and it's our duty to protect it with our lives from the other villages that are dubbed as devils who only seek its destruction.

Ever since I met the Hokage I had a bad feeling about him. The problem is I cant investigate him due to not being strong enough and I can't find his true personality through his expressions as he is an experienced ninja. After thinking about this matter for some time, I thought about evolving my sensor skill again.

I still remember the process of my sensing skill evolving through the fights I had with dai-sensei. The more focus and time I put into reading his movement. The more I was capable of predicting his moves through his muscle movement. So I took inspiration from that and decided to see if I can improve my abilities again through a similar process.

So here I am now standing in front of a stray cat I found in the streets of Konoha. I brought the kitten into the forest to avoid suspicion from other people. Activating my sensor skill to the limit. I start to feel the world around me. Throughout the years my sensor skill can already cover 1 km around me. reducing and compressing the size of my sensor skill until it is all focused on the cat that is weirdly and warily staring at me. btw the cat can't move due to me increasing the gravity around it thus the cat is alarmed. the pressure I applied is just enough for the cat to stop trying to walk or run away.

I put all my focus on the cat and try to go through its physical body and try sensing its spiritual one instead.

Nothing...Nothing I can't feel anything "Hmm it seems feeling the spiritual energy is not going to be easy but training makes perfect." I continued my training switching between trying to sense an animal's emotion to physical training and chakra control exercises. Returning to the orphanage to eat I see Minato sitting alone so I went to greet him.

"Yo Minato how are you doing"

"Good what about you Fuji-san"

"How many times have I told you to drop the 'san' Minato aren't we friends." Although I first approached Minato for benefits, I started to appreciate his company and am starting to consider him as a friend. "Yes we are friends fuji," he said while smiling.

{Minato POV}

The first time I met Fuji-san was somewhat coincidental as although most of the seats were taken by other kids, there were seats other than the one in front of him. The reason I sat with him was that I felt he was different than a normal two-year-old. Most two-year-olds didn't have the same thinking that I had, all they had on their minds was eat, play, and sleep. which made it hard for me to befriend them.

When I first sat and talked with him although I didn't get it then as I tried to continue the conversation hoping I can befriend him I realized that he is uninterested in befriending me. What was the word I learned recently...... ah yes his personality is what you call cold.

As time passed by I couldn't get a chance to talk with him due to me starting training and I would always come tired and not in the mood to talk so I would just eat my food and go to sleep. One time I was eating my food while thinking about how awesome the academy will be and how much I can learn from it.

I sensed someone approaching my table and what do you know it is Fuji-san himself, when he asked me permission for a seat I tried to tease him with the same line he told me years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all however that doesn't matter what matters to me is the dangerous feeling am getting from him.

It has been two years since I have unlocked my chakra and started my training and I have improved greatly yet all my senses are telling me to run away as far as possible. I was never afraid of challenges in fact I welcome them so I asked Fuji-san for a spar.

I can feel the amusement in his voice, 'he doesn't even consider me a threat' I thought while my hands clenched into fists. After he told me to follow him he started to increase his running speed little by little 'he is testing my speed huh'. This continued until I can barely keep up with him, thankfully he didn't go any faster.

Once we reached a clearing in the forest, I was spent and was about to pass out. Looking at Fuji-san I can see him looking at me before giving me a thirty-minute break. Taking every second to rest I sit against a tree cross-legged to recover my stamina as fast as possible.

For a microsecond I felt like someone was spying on me, no that can't be true shaking my head I concentrate back on regaining my stamina. 30 minutes later and I am good to go. Standing opposite from fuji-san, I take a neutral stance I learned from that book with the embarrassing title. however, when Fuji-san laughed at my stance asking if I got from the taijutsu for dummies book, I got embarrassed and I removed my stance to explain to him.

Before even saying anything I felt like a metal pole smashed into my stomach, looking down I can see Fuji-san's fist digging into my stomach before I flew back from the force of his punch. Once I landed harshly while still holding my belly from the pain, I can hear him talking about removing my guard and if he was a real enemy I would have died.

Standing up with some difficulty I again take a stance made for close combatant and focus all my attention on fuji-s NO I FOCUSED ON MY OPPONENT. He then starts talking badly about me being afraid and such but I held it in for the first time but when he did it again and I snapped rushing at him with my fastest speed I aim a punch at his face and exert as much force in my fist as possible. Although my fist connected with his face I felt something missing before I can think about it I again was punched in my stomach even harder than the last time.

Fuji-san then told me another piece of advice before walking towards me and giving me a hand. 'I still have a long way to go huh' I thought while walking with Fuji-san to the orphanage.
