Chapter 14: A Girl’s heart and a Dance

My sword broke.

Seems like the sparring training was too much for this cheap tourist sword.

So now I have to ask my mum for a new one.

Problem is, she is currently on a mission and will only return in a week or so.

"Hey Dad, my sword broke. Can you buy me a new one?"

"That's... when it comes to the finances, your mother doesn't let me handle it...sorry."

...

He really is useless.

Anyway, what should I do know?

Oh right, maybe Tenten has a sword I could borrow?

Since the park is between my and her house maybe I should look there first?

 

Normally in Konoha, the training fields are occupied by Genin-teams, so for non-shinobi families, if they want to practice before the academy, they need to go into the woods or something.

However, there is a park which can be used for training too, since the park is pretty big so you don't disturb anyone if you train there.

But recently the normal children stopped hanging out there because there were rumors that a demon in the form of a little girl rampaged there.

So when Eiji got near to the park some children warned him: "Hey, you shouldn't go to the park, there is a demon who will eat the soul of anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with it..."

"A demon? What the hell are you guys talking about. Anyway, I have some business there so don't bother me..."

"What the...we just wanted to help you but you are so rude...we don't care if you get eaten!"

Eiji shrugged his shoulders and went on.

When Eiji got near their former training spot, he could see a girl from afar.

"Hey, Tenten. Long time no see. How are you doing? By the way, if you have a sword can you lent it to me?"

When the girl heard the voice and how he shamelessly jumped straight into asking to borrow something while not even finishing greeting, she slowly turned around.

For Eiji, at this moment, it looked like the girl breathed fiery steam out of her mouth and her eyes glowed red.

Holy shit there is really a demon HERE... let's try to slowly turn...

"AFTER NOT SAYING ANYTHING FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST COME HERE AND ASK ME TO LEND SOMETHING??? SHOULDN'T YOU BE HERE TO APOLOGIZE???"

"Oh yeah right I kinda forgot to tell you that I would be training somewhere else...anyway I'm currently busy so I have to go now-"

Suddenly a kunai flew which missed his face only for a few millimeters.

"Uhmm I think it's pretty dangerous to throw those things near people..."

When he saw the amount of throwing weapons she pulled out, Eiji knew for the first time in his both lives what fear truly was...

"Girls are really scary when they are angry" - that's the last thought he had before he fainted from fear.

 

When he woke up and saw the number of weapons near him, he thought he died and woke up in hell where he will get tortured with those weapons for all eternity...

"Stop you evil demons, I'm the most virtuous person who has ever lived, you have the wrong guy!"

An icy voice answered: "You are calling me a demon? You know there is a limit to how shameless you can be..."

"Huh, wait I am alive and didn't end up in hell?"

"I can send you there if you want..."

"Uhhmm, long time no see Tenten?"

"..."

"Come on, don't be mad. I have a sensei now and just didn't have the time to tell you that I won't be coming here for a while..."

"..."

"I'm sorry."

"..."

"Will you forgive me if I let you eat as much Dango as you want?"

"...Yeah"

It looks like the saying is true, that the pathway to a girl's heart is sweets...

But all the money I saved will be gone because of this glutton...well considering it saves my life it's probably worth it.

 

"*cough*You said that you are currently low on cash so I bought a sword for you so we don't lose any time."

"I'm really thankful for that, but why is it pink?"

"*cough* I thought it was your favorite color, no?" - Hayate smiled mischievously

"..."

"Anyway, you said that your Tree Climbing Practice goes well, right? If that's the case then I will show you a high-level technique. To be honest, learning it might take a long time, so if we add it to the training now, then you will save a lot of time later on - especially since one of your hands is practically unusable. But I will only teach it to you if you promise me something, okay?"

"Well it should be fine, but what promise?"

"That while you learn it, you will only practice it while I'm with you because it involves a dangerous ninjutsu."

"*Gulp* Alright I promise."

"*cough*Then observe it while I show it to you...Leaf-Style Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

When he said that, two shadow clones appeared, and with them, Hayate leaped through the air in a formation reminiscent of the crescent move, and then they slashed simultaneously at the practice dummy.

"*cough*Since it involves the shadow-clone jutsu I will teach it first to you before we start to train your movement and coordination with your clones for the technique. The shadow-clone jutsu is also the reason why it's so dangerous because it can deplete your chakra instantly if you don't handle it correctly, which can result in death."

"Yes sensei!"

Hayate smiled while he thought: "I told him in the past to not call me that, but since he called me it now at this moment, it means he respects me."

- Holy shit, it's the shadow-clone jutsu! Who cares about the Dance of the Crescent Moon, I can learn the shadow-clone jutsu! -

If Hayate could hear Eiji's thoughts at this moment he would certainly cry...
