Chapter 010

In the training ground,

" Kakashi sensei , are you a shadow clone?" asked Ten Ten.

"No, I'm not on duty today. So we'll practice ninjutsu and nature transformation." said Kakashi.

Kakashi was still in Anbu now. But Sandaime wanted him to retire from Anbu and become Naruto's jonin sensei next year. So when Gai requested Kakashi to teach Ten Ten lightning release, Third Hokage persuaded him. If Kakashi taught Ten Ten, he would have more experience in teaching and Ten Ten would also closer to the Hokage's camp. Is it that killing two birds with a stone?

Although Hiruzen tried to made more free for Kakashi, he was still busy. So when he was so busy, Kakashi send a shadow clone and taught her kenjutsu. If he was free, he would come by himself and taught her ninjutsu and elemental release.

But most of the time, Kakashi sensei only send shadow clone. Therefore she was already mastered skilled at Hatake clan's kenjutsu, white light blade. It was a very powerful kenjutsu technique for close combat.

Ten Ten was trying to make a kenjutsu technique for long range attack based on Hatake clan's kenjutsu and eight gates. It was more difficult than she thought because eight gates made chakra violent and less controllable. Although it was not too obvious while opening gate of opening and gate of healing, it became obvious after opening the gate of life. But after trying for a few weeks, she could create a move, "shadowless crescent".

"Shadowless crescent" was similar to Hyuga clan's "Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm" and Might Guy's "Daytime Tiger". She created a massive amount of air pressure by extremely fast sword strike and then released a wave of chakra through her sword with chakra flow to increase the power of this move. But "shadowless crescent" was not as powerful as "Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm" or "Daytime Tiger" as it was still in the prototype stage. But she believed it would become more powerful if she could see "Vacuum Palm" and "Daytime Tiger" in real life and understand the principles of those techniques. After all, she had only seen those techniques in anime and manga in her previous life.

Ten Ten said to Kakashi.

" Kakashi sensei, I think we should add wind attribute chakra to increase cutting power. So you should start to teach me wind release."

Kakashi sensei had already taught her two elemental releases, lightning release and water release. She already learned some lightning release ninjutsu like lightning release: shadow clone from Kakashi. Kakashi didn't teach her Chidori and it's derived ninjutsu. Kakashi decided not to teach Chidori to a shinobi without dojutsu as he thought it was too dangerous.

After she had learned lightning release, Kakashi taught her earth release. However her talent for earth was bad. So Kakashi taught her water release. As she had A grade water release talent, she could learn water release and its ninjutsu quickly this time.

She had already developed wind release and could increase the cutting power of the weapons by chakra flow. But she could not explain who taught her, when did she learn, etc. Therefore she was asking Kakashi sensei to teach her wind release. But Kakashi didn't agree it as he thought two elemental release was enough for a genin. As for developing third elemental release, let's talk about it when you become a chunin.

'This kid is really impatient and greedy. Is two elemental releases not enough? She's not still satisfied even her strength has surpassed most chunin. No, I must teach this kid a lesson. Otherwise she might be in trouble due to her greed and impatience,' Kakashi sighed.

"Okay, I'll teach you a new ninjutsu today. If you can learn this jutsu in five days, I'll teach you wind release," said Kakashi. Then he raised his hand and a shining blue ball formed by chakra appeared on his hand. Next he hit a tree beside him with 'Rasengan'.

"Boom"

With that sound, the trunk of the tree was destroyed and the wood pieces scattered.

Then Kakashi explained her about the "Rasengan".

"This jutsu is called Rasengan and was developed by the Fourth Hokage sama. And this jutsu doesn't need hand signs. But it is an A rank ninjutsu. So it's really difficult to learn. It can be called the pinnacle of shape transformation."

Looking at Kakashi who was explained her about the "Rasengan", Ten Ten happily thought.

"Oh my god! I hit the jackpot. I'm so lucky today. Maybe because today is my birthday?"

If she had 'inner Ten Ten' like Sakura, 'inner Ten Ten ' would be shouting happily with shining eyes and a big smile. "Rasengan" was also like wind release. She could not use it because she's didn't have reasonable explanations.

But now, Kakashi was giving her a golden chance. So she must grab it. Then she took out a small book and pen and started to take notes. She learned this trick from Lee. Acting like this gave her teachers an impression "Oh, she is really interested in what I'm saying and hard working" . After all, life is a play. So you need good acting skills.

Kakashi did not knew Ten Ten had already mastered "Rasengan". He intended to give a lesson to Ten Ten and let her know she was not ready to train third chakra attribute. Then he would instruct her to focus on strengthening her foundation.

A few minutes later, Kakashi had explained about " Rasengan" and how to train.

"Okay. Let's stop today lesson here. I'll check your process after five days. See you later." said Kakashi. Then he used 'Body Flicker' and disappeared.

"Wait, Kakashi sensei," Ten Ten also used 'Body Flicker'and followed him and shouted.

" Today is my birthday. So please come to my home for my birthday party tonight, Kakashi sensei."

" Sorry, Ten Ten. I don't think I can come to your birthday party because I have duty tonight. But I'll give you a birthday present later."

After Kakashi left, Ten Ten continued to train alone. Before that, she sense her surrounding. There were many guys who like to peep others especially the third hokage who had crystal ball jutsu. So she could not be careless while training. She would be in trouble if someone accidently saw her training 'Rasengan' or 'Wind release '. After training for a few hours, Ten Ten stopped her training and went back to her home.
