23 Chapter 23 -Training

In the playground of Uchiha compound lay Sasuke with huffing to get more air. The training Ryuzaki made him do was simple and that is sword fighting.

As for other training Ryuzaki didn't teach because he didn't train in that. Who cares if someone threw a shuriken if it can not penetrate the body.

But for Sasuke he had to train it himself with the help of Kakashi, so Ryuzaki left that to Sasuke.

Looking at Sasuke crawling to stand in front of him with the help of a wooden sword, Ryuzaki said "No matter how much you are proud of your bloodline you have to train your body. If your body is not trained than your power is useless."

Sasuke getting up shakily said "Even if my body is not trained properly I still have my sharingan. With genjutsu I will be able to deal with them. And what does sword have to do with training body."

" Sword helps in training your body control if you can master it. And if you swing it for 100,000 times as swift as wind without chakra than you can become a sword master also. So two bird with one stone isn't it." said Ryuzaki boringly looking at Sasuke.

< I thought it would be fun to train him but it is actually boring. Training other people is actually not fun at all.> thought Ryuzaki sitting in the bench on the side.

<What swinging sword 100,000 times without chakra!! What kind of fantasy is that!! It is impossible to swing a sword that much. My hand will fall off before I even master it. > Sasuke thought as he looked at Ryuzaki like some Idiot.

Even Ryuzaki knew what Sasuke is thinking just by looking at his face but Ryuzaki didn't bother to give an explanation as Sasuke will have to do it even if he ran away to hell.

"Okay this will be all for today. You can go back now. " said Ryuzaki looking at the trembling leg of Sasuke.

"Okay, but what about the other trainings? I want to train in ninjutsu and shuriken as well." said Sasuke as he sat down on the ground as the training was to hard for him who has a kid body right now.

"Remove the weight seal first. If not then you will not be able to go home. Anyway I will not train you in anything other than sword fight and body training. So, for the others train in them yourself. As for the jutsu I will give it to you. " said Ryuzaki as he sensed someone come towards them.

" Why?... You said you will train me to be strong and now you are not teaching me ninjutsu. " Sasuke said as a little bit of rage can be seen in his eyes.

" The jutsu I have is not teachable to others so you cannot learn it. That's why I told you to train yourself. And you can train in jutsu with your sharingan also. You can just copy the technique so it will be easy to master it. " saying Ryuzaki looked to the side where a ninja stood with a scroll. Getting the answer Sasuke didn't ask back as he knew some jutsu cannot be learned.

Coming closer the ninja handed the scroll and left quickly without saying anything.

Opening the scroll Ryuzaki saw that his chunin exam will be held on next Monday. The content inside didn't mention how his exam will be, it just told the time and venue of exam.

Sasuke who was by the side also saw the scroll and asked " What is this all about? I thought you were a ninja."

"I am not a ninja of the village. But for you to get the jutsu I have to become a chunin. " said Ryuzaki while thinking of how to use this chance to put seed of doubt.

" Why didn't you become a ninja?" Sasuke asked as curiosity can be seen in his eyes. He was perplexed that there is someone who is not a ninja, when everyone in the village wanted to be one.

"Simply put I don't want to work under someone when I got another chance. I will make my own future the way I want. Now that I live in this kill or be killed world, I will obviously not work for someone else. " said Ryuzaki as he closed his eyes to reminiscence of his past.

His past life was just like any other middle class man, he worked 9 to 6 without any achievement and a boring life where he will just wait to die. But now with power, he will make a path to immortality that he wished for.

Hearing Ryuzaki, Sasuke didn't understand a thing other than Ryuzaki not wanting to work for someone else.

"And let me tell you something no matter what anyone says don't trust their words just because it is the truth. Some may say that he is telling the truth but there will be a hidden agenda on why he is telling the truth. And some without any hidden agenda but stupid and annoying who want other people to believe in their wishful thinking just like Hashirama Senju. " said Ryuzaki with cold looking eyes.

Sasuke was startled hearing that as he didn't think Ryuzaki would bring first hokage's name. But thinking over the words of Ryuzaki he tried to understand the meaning behind the words. Even if Sasuke was a genius he was still a 7 year old kid.

"Now go back to your house. We will meet tomorrow." saying that Ryuzaki started to walk towards his house.

Looking at the leaving figure of Ryuzaki, Sasuke also walked towards his house which was empty without anyone. Sasuke wanted to leave this house but Ryuzaki told him to stay here as he had to remember their unjust death.

Reaching his home Sasuke stood outside with tears in his eyes. As he couldn't forget the night of massacre. He didn't know how to go inside as he just stood outside. He felt lonely and their was no one he had to go to.

After what seemed like an hour has passed Sasuke took the step and walked inside his house. As he steeled his heart to remember all of this and make Itachi pay for his crime and the other perpetrators.

Looking at Sasuke who walked inside his house, Ryuzaki also walked towards his house. Ryuzaki wanted to know if Sasuke will be able to enter his house or not as this will be the first night of his lonely future.

< Despite people sympathising with Naruto, Kakashi and others no one sympathised with Sasuke. Sasuke wasn't shown as weak but even than seeing someone close getting murdered is still traumatising to a kid. But the thing I wonder is why Sasuke didn't get sage mode, that is a mystery to me. At least if he had sage mode than the fight with Naruto would be equal. > while thinking of how to get Sasuke achieve sage mode Ryuzaki made his way towards his house.

Inside the house Sasuke didn't know what to do. Sasuke never felt this emotion as he stood near the dining table. He started to remember his happy memories as he just looked at the empty table. Sasuke just cried silently as he sat on the dining table and remember his family's laughter and chatter. He cried until he fall asleep on the table.
