28 Chapter 27

Our fight went on, as we both exchanged numerous blows. G had his face swollen and I had bruises in many places.

We were already tired from our punishment and that was during a time when our body was still digesting the food we ate.

So, we hardly had any strength left after 15 minutes of the fight. We both collapsed as our teacher said "Good job there kids, especially you Hakuto. We're you trained by any ninja before? I can easily tell that this wasn't your first fight."

I replied "Yes sir, I was trained by our guards." and looked at the other kids. They clearly weren't happy with the outcome. Me and G tied in every competition we had today. They were also waiting for a winner.

"Oh, guards huh. Then, you must be the kid from Arashi. Good job." he said and asked four boys to drag our bodies to the side so that they could continue their sparring session.

We were dragged and placed below a tree. I looked up as I said to G "I had fun today." and he laughed.

He also said "Yes, I also had fun. I never knew that not crushing your opponent could be this fun."

Then I asked something out of curiosity "Hey G, since I am new to the academy, I don't know much. I want to know, how are we going to be trained in ninjutsu?"

I needed to know this, because this was my main aim for coming here. He nodded and said "You do know that ninjutsu are classified into different ranks right?" and I nodded.

He continued "So, it isn't that difficult. They will first give us E-rank jutsu to learn. When we show them that we are strong enough to learn jutsu of the next rank and have mastered all the possible jutsu of the previous rank, they will grant us access to the jutsu of the next rank."

I asked the next important question "Where do we get these jutsu?"

He replied "You can get them in the library. Since it has all the jutsu from E to A-rank, it has the highest level of security in the village."

He added "Since our village focuses mainly on lightning release, you would be lucky if your chakra nature is lightning, If it's something else, there would be difficulty trying to get jutsu.

The library mostly has lightning release and hardly a few stolen jutsu of other chakra natures. So, usually ninja with other chakra nature than lightning don't go for battle class and usually focus on support class."

Now it made sense as to why I hadn't seen anyone from kumogakure use other chakra natures. I then asked "What about jutsu of S-rank?"

G raised his eyebrows and said "You know, this starting to make me suspicious of you."

I said "I don't care what you think or feel. I want to be a great ninja like the third Raikage. He was a brave ninja who fought 10,000 ninja all by himself.

For that, S-rank jutsu are the only way to become strong as my role model." and it wasn't a lie.

I seriously liked his character in the show. A character who was so strong that only he could hurt himself.

Sadly he couldn't maintain his shield for a very long duration and was defeated by 10,000 ninja.

G looked at me with a smile and said "He actually is a ninja worth looking up to, but S-rank jutsu are something that you get only with the special permission of the Raikage.

And, you must be a jonin to even ask for S-rank jutsu. So, as of now, it isn't possible. If you are that hellbent on becoming strong with strong jutsu, the only way is to make one yourself."

His idea wasn't bad. I could create many ninjutsu from the ideas of other animes I had seen. If I could imitate or improve their techniques, I might become stronger and also use this jutsu to trade it for an S-rank jutsu.

I thanked him for the idea and we talked about other things like our moves in our spar and all. It was a fun time.

When the sparring session ended, it was almost evening and we were allowed to go home for the day.

It was the usual schedule here. Before noon, we have our usual classes inclined towards our class we picked and afternoon, we have physical training and sparring.

There wasn't any trend like making hand signs after the fight or anything. I dragged myself home and it took longer than expected with my weak body.

Although we were healed by the medical ninjas, they wouldn't go for complete recovery, which made sense. They were saving their chakra for an emergency case if any ninja needed urgent treatment.

They can't waste all their chakra on a kid's fights. So, when I arrived at my house, I opened the door and immediately was face to face with a woman's chest.

I was pulled closer to her and she asked "Hakuto, why are you so late? I was worried about you."

I smiled. It was a new experience to have someone worry about you, but I liked it. So, I lied "Sorry mom, I made a new friend in school and was playing around with him. That's why I am late."

She was surprised, but still happy. She moved me away from her and looked at me with a smile. She said "So, you are finally doing something that suits your age. That's it Hakuto, revenge and all those things would only make your life miserable.

Only by having someone support you and be with you, can you enjoy life and live happily. Now come. inside and wash up. I cooked your favorite chicken katsu and curry."

It wasn't just a single dish of hers that I liked. Anything she cooked would become tasty. So, I immediately took bath and went to the table to eat.

Even though it was a table big enough to accommodate the whole family, no one wanted to eat with us.

It was just me, Aki and Hiroshi. I ate like a starving beast and Hiroshi asked while eating "Hakuto, how was your day at school today?"

That was weird. This Idiot agreed to support me only because he was in a bad spot and needed help.

In the span of three months, we hardly spoke to each other. So, him asking about it made me question whether it was real or not.

I read his mind and then it all made sense. Apparently, when I am not around, the mind numbing effect decreases slightly.

When I was around, no one in the family said anything to either Aki or Hiroshi. Now that I was away, they said all kinds of things.

They questioned Hiroshi's legitimacy and all. So, that's when he understood my importance and why I was receiving his gentle words.

He really takes after his father. Very calculating and immediately changes colors according to the surrounding and situation.
