Sword Training
"..." Kaki stood there next to Yami as they looked at Grey's bed
"You really...Sold his kunai.....for 50,000 Ryo...." Yami was speechless
"Yo, we gotta make money, cause we aren't gonna be able to go on missions for a while, as well Sensei isn't here to pay rent, we got to do what we got to do," Grey said as he held a stack of cash while more was on his lap
"....so, what are you going to do with the money," Kaki
"Pay rent up as far as I can, that way we don't have to worry about it, then all we have to worry about is the water bill and the electric," Grey
"'Sigh' that's smart, but I hope you know he'll kill you if he was here," Yami
"I know, not gonna lie, when I handed the Kunai over to Kakashi, I felt a chill up my spine," Grey
"Well, since yesterday and the meeting with team 7, anytime I've seen Naruto he's asked about training with us, so I told him were training with swords today and he could join, I hope that's fine," Yami
"Yeah, that's cool, do you know if he's meeting us there? or is he walking over there with us?" Grey
"He sai-" Yami was cut off by a knock on the door, walking over Kaki opened it
"Hey!! I'm not late am I?" naruto
"Nope, right on time, Grey said as he put the money up and grabbed the wooden sword they'll be using
"Come on, we should go, the more we train the better," Grey said as they all exited the apartment and went off towards the training grounds
-------
"So, how did you learn to use swords, Grey?" Naruto
"hmm? well, I watched my sensei practice once, and started practicing, so seeing that my sensei started training me himself," Grey
"Oh? Why didn't you two train with him as well?" Naruto
"I was more focused on improving my Jutsu's," Kaki
"Yeah, never really thought about using swords," Yami
"Well the way I see it, the more experience I have under my belt, the better chance I have to become Hokage!!" Naruto
"Huh? You want to be Hokage?" Grey
"No! I WILL be the Hokage!! Believe it!!" Naruto
"hmm, When you end up Hokage, I have one request," Grey
"huh? Yeah, what is it?" Naruto
"Improve the conditions of the orphanages around Konoha," Grey
"...Yeah!! I give you my word!!" Naruto said as they reached the training grounds
"So, grab a sword and form a line in front of me," Grey said causing them all to line up
"Were gonna start off simple, and do 100 sword swings, I want you three to do it however you want so I can see where you are with swords and how your stances are," Grey said causing them all to start swinging their swords
Yami's stance resembles the Ko Gasumi style as he held his sword up high
Kaki's resembled Seigan-no-kamae style more as after a slash he held his sword in front of him
Naruto didn't really have a style though, his was erratic, you could tell he never used a sword before
"That's a hundred, stop, alright I have a better understanding of your styles, and I know what can be done to improve you three if even a little for now, so, I want you three to do another thousand swings, and while you do that I'll help with any flaw I see in your stances, as your stance if the most important thing, because if your stance gets broken or thrown off even a little, that's all it will take for your enemy to get the finishing blow off," Grey
"A thousand?!!" Naruto
"Yeah, don't worry, it goes by faster than you'd think, now, get to it," Grey said causing them to start, so he did as he said and went around fixing any flaw in their stances, and after he felt they were good enough, he stepped away and started doing swings of his own
----------
"OW!! My arms!!" Naruto said as he fell on his back, where Kaki was as he also wasn't prepared for this
"Man, Grey how can you do this?!" Yami
"You get used to it, also, it'll help with taijutsu, as it's causing your arms to get stronger," Grey
"UGH!!! I have training tomorrow with Kakashi Sensei! I don't think I'll be able to do anything!!" Naruto
"hmm, go home and take an ice-cold bath, it'll help your ripped muscles, now come on, it's getting dark, and we still have to stop somewhere." Grey
"Where?" Yami asked as Kaki and Naruto started to try and sit up
"Ichiraku Ramen, of course, it's on me," Grey said causing both Naruto and Kaki to bolt up
"Ichiraku ramen!!!" Kaki\Naruto
"What are we waiting for!!!!!" Kaki\Naruto Sprinted off
"That seemed to put a little pep in their step, come on," Grey said to Yami as he grabbed his sword from him
------------
"Welcome! oh Naruto, and you three! it's great to see you all, you here together?" Teuchi
"Yep!!" Naruto
"That's wonderful! Now, what can I get you all," Teuchi
"Miso Chashu pork Please!!" kaki
"Yeah!! I want that as well!!" naruto
"I'll take the same," Yami
"Same here," Grey
"Right!! Four bowls of Miso Chashu pork ramen coming right up!!" Teuchi
"So, Naruto, you excited for the Chunin Exams?" Yami
"Yeah! No doubt I'm gonna pass!! I've been training so hard!!" Naruto
"Well if you ever want to join our training don't hesitate to ask, cause remember, there will always be someone who training harder than you, so always train harder than you are!" Kaki
"Yeah!! So when the next time you're gonna be training like this?" Naruto
"well, we can set it off until the days you're free to have sword training, and while in between the days we can just do our normal training," Grey
"Yeah!! that sounds fun!!" Kaki
"Here you four go!!" Teuchi
"Thank you for the meal!!" They all said as they started to eat while talking about training and some other stuff
