bandits

3 people in all black robes and hoods covering they're whole body were walking over a swampy marsh land the sky was constantly raining but it didn't seem to affected theyre clothing as the water bounces off out of the 3 people 2 look noticibly bulky clearly wearing heavy armor as one looks walks sluggish as if carying a lot of weight "mizu have you caught your breath yet we will start running again" said the lead figure clearly it was izanagi they have just left the village a few hours ago izanagi already had a plan to train mizu first have her wear heavy armor and run until she's out of stamina at the same time he had her try walking on water with her chakra at all times to achieve getting mizu to feel her chakra and move it manually he had to personally guide her with his chakra by imputing his own chakra in her chakra pathways and slowly guiding her until she could "feel" and then move her chakra obviously as a total beginner chakra control it's abysmal but in just a few hours she could walk on a puddle every couple steps it's highly inconsistent but this was already astonishing afterall Naruto mastered water walking in about 3-24 days while she's on track with Naruto on completely her beginner chakra control training in a week 'I guess gold talent is a gold talent afterall there's strong points and weaknesses with every gold talent but one thing is always constant theyre talent for chakra control' said izanagi in his heart marveling at her talent now he is wondering about her ninjutsu talent but she is too raw barely able too fight and now that she can control her chakra she is like a beginner genin with no combat experience meanwhile mizu who heard izanagi couldn't help but shudder she had ran 3 times faster then a regular human multiple times until she was left panting and exhausted on top of that there was no breaks straight to walking and trying to walk on water with her chakra but seeing a distant tree line she looked like she saw her life line as she said "yes I'm ready" without giving mizu a time to brace her self izanagi and tomoe started running at a moderate pace similar to a entry level genin

Finally entering the tree line mizu put her hands on her knees and barely stopped herself from collapsing she was gasping wildly for air while izanagi looked at her approvingly she noticibly is improving already running this far without stopping without any training is already good clsn ninjas recieve training since they are children it's not fair to compare the two just as he was going to say some encouraging things he smirked and said "they finally couldn't hold themselfs back huh" izanagi said amusely as he and tomoe looked around with a hint of amusement in theyre eyes mizu seeing this didn't know what they were looking at but got on guard with the only kunai that izanagi gave her and stood there vigilantly kunai in hand looking around at the trees vigilantly not even giving her a few seconds to brace her self hearty laughter could be heard around them as about 20 buff men with chipped and rusted weapons came out from behind trees seeing all these buff menacing men surrounding them mizu was at first scared but then she looked at izanagi who was already smiling from ear to ear his eyes shinning a crimson red with a faint golden hue to them while izanagi and his group were surrounded the bandits were getting bold talking louder and louder "look at that persons chest that's obviously a girl if we bring her to the boss maybe he will let us play with her for a few rounds" said one of the men while pointing at Tomoe who didn't wear armor as his voice resounded in the forest it was follow by laughter as the bandits rushed towards them

Tomoe and izanagi already had some chemistry so without wasting time izanagi rushed into the fray while tomoe jumped on a tree branch leaving mizu alone in the center of the bandits as they quickly slashed at her leaving mizu with no choice but to fight 3 at once although she was on average 3 times faster and stronger she couldn't help but hesitate whenever her kunai would hit someone's heart not to mention she was afraid so she was passively defending even tho she was stronger then them her little 3 on one stayed a stalemate for a couple seconds until a water dragon slammed into the other 17 bandits who were looking around for izanagi and tomoe hitting 5 of them leaving a trail of broken limbs and blood on the ground
