Chapter 17.

Reaching home I asked him to head towards the courtyard as we placed our bags at the side.

He headed out while i withdrew my jutsu and placed the scroll i was learning aside and brought two wooden swords for todays spar.

Throwing the sword at him i got to the center of courtyard. The courtyard was not that big but it was still enough for two kids to spar without damaging anything.

He caught the sword as he also followed me into the center. He stood opposite to me and got into the stance placing the sword at the front of his waist vertically with the sword tip reaching in front of his eyes. While i went into the Sword drawing stance placing my sword on the left side of my waist, As i am right handed it will give more strength when draw with this stance.

I threw a stone into the air. As soon as it hit the ground we both moved towards each other. Founding myself within reach he hacked at me while i drew my sword fast blocking his hack and using force i made him back away. Without giving him time to balance i slashed at him which he blocked but fell down. I continued by placing my sword at his throat. Seeing him raise his hand in submission i withdrew my sword and extended my hand to get up as he laughed while i had a small smile.

We both sat down as i said to him " Your technique is good but your center of balance is not focused and i think you haven't completed your basics because your technique is not polished enough."

" Yes i haven't completed my basics yet it will take me half a month to complete it. But from this i got to know how to use those basics in a fight. This experience will make it easier and maybe i can complete the basics in a week." He said with smile.

' Well i also felt good training is training but fight gives experience and teaches us how not to make unnecessary moves in a fight. Although he is not good but still something is better than nothing and Its also boring to be alone.'

' Talking about being alone Grandpa asked me to come live with them but i still had things to do here and this was a place were i grew so i am quite attached to it. That's why i said him i would stay here and not to worry.' Thinking till here i heard him asking for another round.

We played matches until evening as i corrected some of my excessive movements and started to use my speed to my advantage.

" Lets do this again sometime i learned a lot and i feel that i will be able to learn kenjutsu at a faster speed if we train together." He said excitedly although lost he still developed his kenjutsu basics at a very fast pace.

" Yup i also felt some progress we can continue. Next time should be when your basics are cleared then we can fight in a more proper way." I said feeling todays progress.

" Byee we will meet tomorrow at academy." He said as he left. He didn't know it was my shadow clone that was doing the work of going to academy.

As he left I took out the scroll that i was reading before he came. It is the scroll of body flicker jutsu a C-rank jutsu. It is not that i mainly focuses on using misdirection in which you use the chakra to form smoke around the body while you do so you move an appropriate amount of chakra to your feet and use it to pick up your speed, Letting others think you have disappeared.

As you grow and use the experience of this jutsu grows you will develop and adjust it according to how you need. That's why everyone's body flicker has different speed and or different setup for misdirection. Most of them develop the body flicker in the direction to enhance their speed while some assasination specialist use the way of misdirection to better perform their tasks. These were all described in the scroll placed in home and some of them were the experience taught by Grandpa who only briefly but profoundly described it. Worthy of being called the Professor at that time i felt very proud of having him.

I want my body flicker to be developed in the direction of speed. As i feel that speed is omnipotent no matter what obstruction is in their nothing can stop speep you can pass by the obstacle before it even reaches you. When the enemy attacks you once you can attack him ten or many times if your speed is better than him. Speed is what you call a profound art for escape as you know life is precious as long as you live everything is possible but if you die nothing can be done. That's why i have decided my way will be centered around speed.

Placing the scroll aside i headed in 'since i had already sparred and exercised for today the remaining can be done tomorrow, if i don't relax it will be hard for my body to take and if found by Sister Kushina i will be in trouble.' 'Shudder.' I thought.

Well Jutsu can be practiced tomorrow.
