FATHER AND SON

Akira who had just left, doesn't go to his house directly, But he had gone to his usual training ground which was near the river. Akira was a very hard-working person and there won't be a single day in which he had not trained. Akira then took out a sword from one of the scrolls and started practicing his sword techniques. This was the sword given to Akira by his father. Akira continued his practice till evening. After that, he left the training ground and go back to his house.

AYAKA: "Where were you all this while? you didn't come to eat lunch. Did you even eat anything yet?"

Ayaka was the nanny and also the servant of Akira's house. When Ayaka sensed Akira entering the house she came to him and asked with a worried expression.

Akira: "I had been with my sensei and teammates. Also, I didn't eat anything yet, so prepare the food."

After hearing Akira didn't eat anything Ayaka rushed to the kitchen to prepare something for Akira to eat. Akira was about to sit at the dining table when he heard the voice of his father coming from the main hall.

Hirose: "After you finish eating come and meet me."

Akira: "Yes Father"

The main hall was right beside the dining room so Akira just replied casually. After that Ayaka brought some delicious food and Akira ate to his fill. Then Akira got up and went to see his father. When Akira opened the sliding door he saw Hirose who had a cold expression on his face. This was completely different from the normal smiling face of his father. Akira also understood that his father was not in a good mood, So he just calmly sit right opposite his father, waiting for him to speak.

Hirose: (looking directly in the eyes of Akira with an emotionless face) " You may not know this Akira, but Anzai … I mean your sensei is one of my very close friends. I used some of my influence to make him your team leader. I was worried about you and want someone to closely monitor and protect you, I don't want you to suffer the same fate as your brother."

After saying this Hirose paused for a while and looked at the face of Akira to see any emotional fluctuations, but Akira was just sitting there without showing any emotions on his face. But Akira was cursing in his mind. He already figured out that Anzai must have told Hirose about what had happened today.

Hirose: "I heard from Anzai about what happened today, You have disappointed me, my son. Letting your teammates get hurt because of your ego, and just watch them beaten up without doing anything! I didn't expect this behavior from you Akira."

Akira noticed Hirose getting angrier and angrier. So Akira just spoke

Akira: (with an apological tone) "Father what I did today was a grieve mistake, And I deeply regret doing that. Anzai sensei also lectured me about how I should treat others. So I will never repeat this mistake ever again."

Akira said with a respectful tone. There was a regretted look on Akira's face. Akira doesn't want to have another stupid lecture by his father. Akira also understood why Anzai was so determined to teach him, It was because of his father. Hirose had become a very overprotective father after the death of Kudo (Akira's brother). If Akira didn't kill Kudo then this Father of his wouldn't be so overprotective.

This was the consequence of Akira killing Kudo. But Akira didn't regret killing Kudo. Akira knew that there would be consequences for every action a person makes, A man who can't even face the consequence of his actions will never be able to achieve anything in this world. But Hirose's voice suddenly woke Akira from his thoughts.

Hirose : (with a satisfied face) " It is good that you understood your mistakes and are also regretting your actions. ( Hirose paused for a while and continued) But Anzai said the meeting was over before noon, so where have you been all this while?"

Akira: "I have been training father, I want to become as strong as I can, so that what happened with big brother won't happen to me."

Hirose: "It is a good thing that you are working hard, but training in an empty stomach will only cause you more problems than any actual benefit."

Akira: "Thanks for your advice."

After saying this Akira was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered something and asked his father.

Akira: "Father could you teach me shadow clone jutsu."

Shadow clone jutsu was one of the many popular Jutsu and most of the Jonin in the leaf village know how to perform shadow clone. But the higher version of this shadow clone jutsu, known as multiple shadow clone jutsu is a forbidden jutsu, and not many people know about it. Akira doesn't learn this Jutsu until now only because his chakra reserves were somewhat low to maintain the shadow clone for a long period of time. But now Akira has much higher chakra due to his continuous hard work, so Akira decided to finally learn this Jutsu.

Hirose: "Of course, now watch me carefully and try to comprehend this Jutsu"

After that Hirose started teaching Akira about shadow clone jutsu. After one hour Akira gets out of the main hall and goes to his room. Akira had already learned how to perform shadow clone jutsu.
