Chapter 4

I was walking in the forest of death looking for different plants to use for poisons. I managed to find the ones I need. The plants were both different. Some were used in cures while others were used in deadly poisons.

As I was heading out after storing them I saw some kunai coming at me from 45 degrees to my right. I dodged the kunais with ease.

I kept still as I used by sense to look around. I found my attacker but didn't retaliate.The attack then sent more kunai at me which multiplied.

' Shadow shuriken jutsu. '

I conjured up a earth wall before hiding underground. I hid my chakra signature and used by sense to see where she was.

I noticed that she was in two places.

' Shadow clone. Hmm I don't want people to know I beat a chunin so let's go after the shadow clone.'

I come out the ground and tried grabbing the clone by the ankles. But the attacker evaded.As the attacker backed away I got out the hole and threw kunai at her.

He she attacked is female and turned out to be Anko. As the kunai flew toward her she nimbly dodged it.

I quickly rushed at her clone. She looks at me and comes at me. I decreased my gravity seals as attacked with my kunai.

She blocked my attacks before attacking back. I block and deflect hers as well.

She then jumps back and uses a fireball. I quickly use substitution with a log. After that I attacked her with shurikens and used the shadow shuriken jutsu.

The shuriken came at her but she just dodged. I then used kunai as she dodged but as she did I quickly used substitution again appearing before her and punching her in the gut.

However it was a shadow clone and it dispelled. Soon I heard clapping from my left.

" Well that was impressive. Now how does a boy like you have such good fighting skills? " asked Anko.

" Hmm who are you? " I ask.

" Oh me. Names Anko. I'm a chunin and this my forest. Answer my question and also why are you here? "

" Hmm my name is Bokuto. I'm a academy student. I came here for plants. "I say.

Anko had a shocked look on her face.

" Wait a kid not even out of the academy beat my clone!! How old are you anyway?! "

" I'm 8. " I say. I understand her surprise.. I look more like a ten year old than a eight year old.

" I see. So are you interested in poisons. " Anko asked.

" Yep. That and I'm practicing on how to use them to make medicine. "

" Really how? " Anko asked.

" With this book. " I say. Anko well probably tell the Hokage so I'm going to make sure for to teach me. Anko looked shocked as she rushed at me.

" Where did you find that? " Her voice was filled murderious intent but I didn't back down.

" I found in an old adbanded lab. " I say. Anko relaxs as she looked at me.

" That book was the journal of Orichimaru. Brat why go through something like this?"

" The Rogue sannin Huh. The reason why is that I want to learn poisons. Besides this world is where the strong survive while the weak die.

Besides he left his notebook there. It would be a waste to not use it. Plus he was one the best ninja so using it would be the best option. "

" I see." Anko said.

" Hmm do know him personally? " I ask.

" Yeah. I'm his student. " Anko said with fear. I don't blame her. She's in the same situation as Naruto. Only she doesn't get that much hate.

" Really. Then can you teach me how to make poisons? " I ask. Anko becomes shocked before laughing out loud.Guess she really didn't think I would say that.

" And why would you want me to teach you? I'm the student of someone who betrayed this village. " She laughed before it died down.

" Simple. I want to learn. Everything your mentor did was his decision. You didn't do what he did. You arnt him. Besides you were trained by him so you must an expert at poisons and I want to learn. So can you teach me sensei? " I ask. Anko looked shocked but the smiled.

" Alright then brat I'll teach you. "

" When do we begin? " I ask excited.

" Now. Also tell me why arnt you like the others? "

" Unlike them I know what the world is like. " I say. Anko nods before we started.

After that Anko ended up telling me to her friends and I ended up getting another sensei in Hayate. The guy who coughs a lot. He ended being my teacher for my sword skills.

He passed me his sword style and it's quite effective. It relies on quick slashes to end the oppentents fast and mainly targets the oppentents vital organs.

For training I alternated between them learning from them and having fun. They were both fun and out going people.

I practiced a lot and learned most of the things a had with me. I had three more years left but first I had the test at the academy.
