Chapter 16.

As I was continuing my practice after grandpa left. I saw anbu appearing in front of me.

"This is what Hokage sama has said to give you." He placed the scroll in my hands.

"Thanks to you and please give my gratitude to Hokage-sama." I replied while placing the scroll in my clothes.

He nodded and left.

Looking at the scroll for a while i placed it aside as i am not currently eligible to practice it.

Half a month passed by as nothing significant happened. during my kenjutsu basics were completed with the help of grandpa who came by 2 times(shadow clone) and I started playing Shogi with Shikaku brother which helps me train strategy when you lead a team, Kushina sister also came by that day i couldn't even practice a little as she said " Don't just always practice and be cooped up in your house you should relax sometimes. You are still a child." I knew what she said was right for the part of training should be done one at a time and relaxing will help.

Ding!Ding!

"Well class is dismissed tomorrow we will continue from here" Sensei said as he left.

"Let's go. You are coming to my house today right? you have got permission from your home" I asked Genma since we've decided to practice today at my house and exchange some pointers.

'The current me is a shadow clone; Yeah you heard it right that's the signature move of Naruto although a lesser version but still it is the same jutsu. I was quite bored as the academy didn't feel challenging enough i had already battled with Asuma and Guy during this time and they are not even a challenge to me. Although they are good especially Guy he is very good and is progressing very rapidly in taijutsu.'

'I had a conversation with him and i felt we can be friends in the future not now he is not that good. Well let's get back to shadow clone as i was bored i asked grandpa to teach me this technique along with a special technique one of my favourite, he already knew about my academic level by the reports of shikaku brother. I don't know why i'm thinking about it but whatever.'

" Yeah i have got permission till night. you wait a minute i'll be there." He continued to pack his bag and do some irrelevant stuff while headed out.

"I'll be by the academy gates. You come quickly." i said with a impatient tone.

"ok" He was already accustomed to my bored attitude.

While I was heading out Asuma passed by me as he said " I'll definitely get back at you."

"Whenever Kid." I replied tauntingly.

"you! You just wait for me i'll definitely defeat you." He left while saying this.

The reason for the fight was.

-- Back to the day after grandpa declared our relations. --

After the end the class i was heading when he came and stood in front of me blocking the way.

"Hey you what's so special about you to let Father adopt you. Let's compare I want to see what you got to earn that much praise from him." he said with jealousy in his tone.

While he was talking everyone heard about it and started to gossip as no one knew about my relationship.

"Why should I compare with you. Leave don't block the road." I said with a lazy attitude.

"Hey why are you backing away by no means are you scared to lose. Its ok no one cares if you lose to your uncle." He said tauntingly as he demonstrated superiority.

I am irritated now as he said that. ' A kid who isn't even close to my strength is taunting. he needs to be taught a lesson.'

"Lets go to the training grounds." I said as i brushed past him to the training ground. While everyone followed me to look at the battle.

That battle nothing surprising since it was a simple one hit K.O. I used my superior strength to knock him out before he even came to his senses.

" You can show your superiority when you can defeat me." i said with my fist over his head.

After that he came to challenge me again and again; and was beaten again and again. Now it has become like this. Grandpa doesn't care about us he just shruggs off saying it's your situation and you're the one to handle it. He is even pleased since Asuma is training very seriously to surpass me now.

-- coming back --

As i continued on my way Guy was staring at me with a passionate look.

Feeling creeped out i asked "what do you want" As i went into a defensive form.

"Nothing i just want to take a look at my rival." he said

"Whatever" I ran past as i replied.

He just stood there waited until i couldn't be seen when he returned his own way.

Reaching the gate i waited for Gekko. I 5 min he came. It seemed he rushed over, as he was breathing slightly faster. A ninja has great stamina but we're still kids so its appropriate for us to have low stamina.

"Lets go I want to know how good your kenjutsu is." He said with an excited face.

"You will wait to see" I said with the sae indifferent look.

We walked towards my home.
