Clan head test

It was finally the morning of the day when the clan head (Murakumo) would test Takagishi again.

"You should rest until the clan head comes so that you do not waste any stamina or chakra" - Said Nasho (Mom)

"Okay, I will try to not waste that much energy" - Replied Katagishi

*After one hour of waiting*

"I have come again this year to test you again, hopefully, you have grown compared to last year" - Clan head (Murakumo)

"Don't worry I am a lot stronger this year" - Katagishi

Then Katagishi and Clan head (Murakumo) walked over to the same area where Kategishi and Masuno(Father) six months ago. Afterward both Katagishi and Clan head (Murakumo) warmed up.

"Okay, I am ready" - Said Katagishi

"This year the test will not be as easy, firstly I will see how long you can stand on water compared to last year" - Said Clan head (Murakumo)

Hearing the Clan head (Murakumo) Katagishi walked over to the pond and used his chakra to stand on the water. After ten minutes.

"Try to run around to create ripples and so I can see how well you can adapt" - Clan head (Murakumo)

Succeeding the Clan head (Murakumo)'s words Katagishi started to run around for fifty minutes and then finally his feet fell into the water.

"It seems that during the year you have been working on increasing your chakra capacity. Here take some Military Rations Pill that only recovers chakra and will not exhaust you after three days." - Clan head (Murakumo)

Then Katagishi took the pill and put it into his mouth and almost instantly he felt his chakra recovering. After five minutes all of Katagishi's chakra had recovered and he told the Clan head (Murakumo) that he was ready to spar.

"I will only use taijutsu and some genjutsu and this fight, but I will go easy on you so don't worry. Also, I don't expect you to beat a Jounin. Well, let's begin." - Clan head (Murakumo)

Katagishi castes the Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone jutsu E-rank) and makes two clones then with the smokescreen Katagishi cast Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu E-rank) to transform into a leaf on the ground. The Clan head (Murakumo) notices how the two Katagishis are not casting any shadow and knows they are just a clone and then he looks around to try to find Katagishi anywhere, so he uses genjutsu kai in case he was put in a genjutsu.

'Thankfully I didn't use Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: False surroundings technique C-rank) instead of Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu E-rank)' - Thought Katagishi

Clan head (Murakumo) does notice any reaction to his surroundings and knows this isn't a genjutsu. So he looks for anything out of place and notices the leaf by the clone of katagishi's feet and sees how it is so far away from the trees and there aren't any other nearby leaves. So he throws a kunai to the leaf.

Then Katagishi untransformed and dodged the kunai. Katagishi responds by throwing two senbon and jumps backward and throws two more. The Clan head (Murakumo) easily blocked these senbon with a kunai and cast Magen: Jubaku Satsu (Demonic Illusion: Tree bind death B-rank).

Katagishi sees Clan head (Murakumo) disappear and uses genjutsu kai incase and sees the Clan head (Murakumo) appear for a split second, but then the Clan head (Murakumo) disappears again. So Katagishi throws senbon in a circle all around him and hears a senbon being deflected and throws five more in the area he heard. After this he sees a tree appear beside him and dodges to the left to avoid it.

Katagishi only barely got out of the way of the tree and then he sees a kunai appear at his throat and hears

"Gotcha, you did good, but you still have to learn more about genjutsu." - Clan head (Murakumo)

"How did you get behind me? You should have still been a few meters away from what I heard in the metal clash." - Katagishi

"I used a genjutsu to make you believe that the metal clash happened farther away when it was really closer." - Clan head (Murakumo)

"Clan head (Murakumo) when Itachi was being cocky in front of me I had heard a demonic voice in my head which I believe is a split personality do you know how to get rid of this" - Katagishi

"There is a waterfall of truth in the land of lightning that can let you face the evil inside of you, but Konoha is not in an alliance with Kumogakure, so we may face some enemies if we try to go there" - Clan head (Murakumo)

"Clan head (Murakumo) I understand these risks, but can we still go there because I feel this split personality will be a big problem in the future." - Katagishi

"I will go to ask the fourth Hokage if he will be fine with this" - Clan head (Murakumo)

Then Clan head (Murakumo) walked over to the Hokage office and said that he would like to talk to the Hokage for important businesses.

"Clan head (Murakumo), what would you like to talk about? I am quite surprised because you never visit me" - Minato

"Lord Hokage, I would like to go to the waterfall of truth in the land of lightning. This is for the help of the young genius of my clan in the future he may even become the Hokage." - Clan head (Murakumo)

"If he has potential to become the Hokage then he shouldn't go out and be at risk" - Minato

"He only has the potential to become Hokage if he goes to the waterfall of truth without this visit he will be more of a danger to the village." - Clan head (Murakumo)

"Then I guess you can go, but you and the child must be in Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu E-rank) the whole time and everything talked about in this room is now an S-rank secret" - Minato

Then the Clan head (Murakumo) goes back to Katagishi and tells him to tell his parents that he will go training with the Clan head (Murakumo) for the year. And so began the start of Katagishi's journey to the land of lightning.
