20 - Kenbunshoku Haki 1

We were able to continue Kawarimi practice for 1 month, and quite happily at that. And my body training is also going quite well. Also my basic kenjutsu practice is also going quite well. In next month, i will be able to reach entry level for Failed knight's swordsmanship. So i can start learning basic techniques. 

I am not able to get any control over my body. Not even hands. And its going quite bad. And i am not getting much time because of Academy. But its still quite enjoyable. I was able to tease Chikako quite thoroughly.

Today after academy,

Ikki: "Chi-chan"

"Don't call me that."

"Why are you getting angry Chi chan?"

"I will hit you." I teased him some more.

"I want to train one technique. Can you help me?"

"What i get in return?"

"Come on Chi-chan, we are friends right. I am good and you are bad one but still we are friends."

"Don't call me that. And i am good one."

"Okay okay."

"What do you need help with?"

"I want you to hit me."

Bonk.

"Let me complete my explanation. I want you to hit me with this rubber balls." I gave him rubber balls which i have bought from general stores.

Bonk. He hit me with rubber balls. Revenge is good but this is too much.

"Bastard, you are doing this on purpose right."

"I am doing what you are telling me. I am good one right."

"Bastard." And i threw ball back at him. And this banter continued for more than minute.

"haah, haah, Now will you listen."

He is also having hard time breathing.

"Okay. Lets go to training ground 10."

"You practice at training ground."

"Yes. They are anyway empty so i practice in them."

"What you mostly practice in there?"

"Mostly body training and Kenjutsu."

We reached training ground 10 in 15 minutes. I gave him 10 balls.

"Okay listen carefully, What i am trying to train is kind of sixth sense or should i say prediction kind of ability. What i am gonna do is sit in middle with blind fold on my eyes and earplugs in my ear. What you need to do is throw ball at me from any direction even from up. You got right."

"So you want me to practice target on you right."

"Yes. There is other way, in which you need to hit me with wooden clubs but i don't want to give you that control. As you are bad guy."

"Is there ability like this?"

"Actually, sharingan, grants this kind of ability. They say it slow downs all view for user. But i think they are given prediction with help of eye in their mind. And as this predictions given in 100th part of second it feels like whole world has been slowed down."

"Are you trying do develop similar dojutsu?"

"I am not developing dojutsu. It requires chakra. and as you know i don't have that much chakra. What i am trying to do is give my whole being ability to enhance my perception so i can have similar effect. And i don't need chakra for this ability, i can activate for infinite time."

"Can i develop this ability?"

"That i can't say. Hell i don't know if this is possible."

I know but i can't say it will happen. It will work for me as i have ability for it. But Chikako can develop or not is another matter altogether. Lets try this as experiment. If it succeed, i can say its technique i developed.

"Let's try this on me first. This might even take years. So i want you to give me one hour of your time every day."

"Okay i will help you."

"Thanks. Let's start."

I sat down in middle. First added earplugs in my ears. Then, I put on blindfolds.. I showed thumbs up to Chikako and torture started. First ball came and hit me in face. Than other to my chest. Its good i didn't give him bat or club. Otherwise i might be dead.

I stopped thinking extra thing and started feeling my surrounding. Than it hit me at my temple. Fuck it hurts. I kinda feels Chikako laughing. Ikki bear with it. It continued for Hour. I couldn't dodge even single ball.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I were. Were you able to grasp anything."

"No, As i said before, it might take years."

"Yes, but i think you will die before that."

"Ya I might. Lets meet here again tomorrow at same time."

"Okay. You need to give me party because of this hard work."

"When i grasp this ability, i will give you party."

"Stingy. bye."

"Bye."

Chikako left. I started learning Observation Haki. Reason, Blade steal, Ability to grasp fighting style of enemy. Observation haki can help me with that.

After Chikako left, I started training my body.
