Chapter 4

"Taiga, Tomorrow we are going out of Konoha for special training", said Grandma as she ate

"Special training? But Grandma, tomorrow is the first day of team meeting", said Taiga looking innocent

"Don't worry, Your Team, I will handle them, you just need to be properly rested for tomorrow"

"Alright, if you say so", he never questions his grandma ever

-------

"For 2 weeks, Taiga won't be able to attend the team exercises", Grandma informed Taiga's team

"What, Why, What happened", asked the bewildered Genma

"You don't need to know, Just know that for 2 weeks Taiga is unavailable"

"Sigh... Old Lady, I am afraid this is not how it works", said Gnema

"Young Lad, I am afraid this is how it works", she said making the eye contact

"Listen, I Ref---

!!!

She releases a forceful amount of killing intent, making him take a step back in fear

"For 2 weeks, he is unavailable"

She is gone... after the threat

-------

(Next Morning)

Taiga and Grandma were standing in the forest of death

"Taiga, You ready", ask Grandma

"Yes", said the nervous Taiga

"Alright then", She raised her stick and tapped it on the ground, the world shattered around them.

Cracks formed along the ground, the trees, and even the sky before they broke apart in a dazzling display of light creating a kaleidoscope of color. As quickly as it started the pieces of the reality reformed once more to look exactly as it was before Grandma started the technique yet something was different.

There were no sounds at all. No birds chirping in the trees, no voices in the distance and not even the whisper of the wind as it flowed through the trees. It was almost eerie.

"Where are we, Grandma?"

"We're in a bubble of reality that leads to an edge of nothing", Grandma Answered

"Why?", asked Taiga

"Your senses are dull, no matter the reaction speed, with your senses, anyone can beat you"

"Uh... Okay"

"We are here to sharpen those senses of yours"

"Okay... But how?"

"With that", she pointed ahead

He looked where she was pointing

!!!

A shambling corpse walked out from behind a tree, and as soon as it saw us, it let out the most awful wail Taiga have ever heard. Taiga threw a kunai as it lodged into its chest. It rocked backward and seemed to stare dumbly at the kunai impaling where its heart would be before it resumed its wail.

Taiga has thrown kunai that hit its head and it collapsed dead once more before its body began to dissolve into motes of light.

"Grandma? what was that?", he looked to the side

!!!

No one was there...

"Grandma? GRANDMA"

He looked here and there... only to find no one

GWAAAA

More Zombies came from the shadows of the trees

*Gulp

-------

(1 week Later)

Under a blood-red sky, as a full moon hung impossibly large overhead, If anyone saw the scene here, they would be mortified as to why people call Flying Raijin the S rank Jutsu.

Zombies charged at him and they died helplessly as Taiga moved amongst them so fast that all that was visible his red hair flickering between them. Oh, they tried to stop him for sure. Elemental attacks of all types flew at him yet he was never there when they landed and some of them were even hit by friendly fire. Grandma watched from the shadows as he performed his deadly dance amongst them.

The world cracked again, and Grandma was looking at him with a smile

"GRANDMA", he ran and hugged her

She hugged him as well

He was scratched all over, his clothes were torn, and he was not in good health, Considering he was fighting for 7 days straight

1 week Left for Holidays

-------

(After 1 week)

Taiga was sitting in a backyard garden sensing Chakra of every living thing

'Hmm... Old Master did bless this child, he is an Inborn Sage, yet he can't access to it

Taiga opened his eyes

*Blink*Blink

"What happened", asked Old Lady

"Grandma, I can feel something, like some kind of energy in nature, but no matter what I do I can't merge with it"

"That's because you can't", answered old lady

"Huh? But Why?"

'If you become a sage, master's enemies are going to come after you, since you obtained his will'

"Grandma does not know", said Old lady

"Then what should I do?", asked Young Taiga

"Continue sensing Chakra of every living thing, once you good enough at it, we will start Flying Raijin Level 3"
