Training under Onoki

_________

When Onoki and Kojiro arrived at the training ground, Onoki started introducing himself to Kojiro, "Before we start sparring, let me introduce myself. I am the Jounin commander of our village. My name is Onoki; you can call me Onoki-sensei."

Kojiro smiled and nodded, "Alright, Onoki-sensei."

Onoki continued while smiling to Kojiro."Alright, now come at me with everything you've got with the intent to kill me. Don't hold back; if you impress me, I might teach you a jutsu." 

Kojiro nodded, unsheathed his sword, and charged at Onoki at his top speed.

Onoki smirked when he saw Kojiro's speed; he took out two kunais and started blocking Kojiro's sword strikes.

"CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK."

Onoki raised his eyebrows in surprise. "This kid seems talented in Kenjutsu. His stance and sword strikes are quite good and solid. He can give a Chunin a hard time with just his Kenjutsu skills."

"CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK."

Kojiro attacked with his sword again from the right, left, high, and low, but Onoki easily blocked every sword strike with his kunais.

"BAAM."

Onoki suddenly kicked Kojiro in the stomach, and Kojiro grimaced in pain from the power behind his kick while skidding backwards.

Kojiro stabbed his katana on the ground to stabilize himself, but Onoki rushed at him and started throwing punches and kicks at Kojiro with incredible precision.

Kojiro was forced to abandon his sword, and he tried his best to dodge and block Onoki Taijutsu strikes with difficulties.

Onoki smirked seeing Kojiro blocking, dodging and even countering his Taijutsu strikes; he then thought, "not bad This kid is really talented. He is able to keep up with Chunin speed and power in Taijutsu. I think it is time for me to test him when he is under unfavourable circumstances."

"BAAM."

Onoki kicked Kojiro in the face, and Kojiro started rolling on the ground. He then flipped backward to put some distance between himself and Onoki.

"Well, now let's see what you are going to do when you are outnumbered, kid." Onoki thought to himself.

Onoki quickly made a hand seal and spit out rocks from his mouth.

"EARTH STYLE: ROCK CLONE JUTSU."

The rock that Onoki spit out from his mouth transformed into four clones, and they charged at Kojiro.

Kojiro cursed in his mind when he saw this, then he said to himself, "Damn it, this old man is a pain in my ass. Give me a break, will ya?"

Kojiro picked up the shurikens from his ninja pouch and started throwing them at Onoki's rock clones.

However, Onoki's rock clones were easily dodging the shurikens that Kojiro threw with ease, and they kept advancing towards him.

"His shuriken jutsu skills are better than some Chunin. This kid is a diamond that needed to be honed carefully." Onoki thought to himself with a smile on his face.

"PUFF."

One of Oniki's rock clones punched Kojiro's face, and after Kojiro got punched in the face, his body exploded in a white smoke, and Oniki noticed broken rocks were replaced with Kojiro.

Onoki smirked when he saw this and said to himself, "His substitution jutsu is much better than some chunin. not bad, kid." He then turned his head and looked in the direction where Kojiro was hiding.

"However, he needs more work in his stealth skills, "Onoki noted in his mind.

With Kojiro

"Damn it, he knows where I am hiding," Kojiro cursed when he saw the rock clones were rushing towards his location.

Kojiro started moving as stealthily as he could while pumping chakra into his feet to increase his speed.

Kojiro was contemplating deeply while he was moving around the training ground, "I prefer fighting head-on, but I am too weak to fight that old man head-on. The only option for me to take care of those stupid clones is to use a sneak attack."

Kojiro continue thinking, "right now I only have 20 kunais and ninja wires in my ninja pouch With those available items, I can only set one trap."

Kujiro scowled in frustration; he then took a deep breath to calm down and continue strategizing, "The only ninjutsu that I know right now are the transformation jutsu, substitution jutsu, and the clone jutsu."

"I also only know one Genjutsu, the disoriental jutsu."

After Kojiro finished strategizing, he said to himself, "The chances this strategy could work are only 10% because the old man is way more skilled and more experienced than I am. I need to give it a try; that's all I could do right now."

Kojiro quickly found a wide area covered with various sizes of rocks He smiled when he saw the area; he quickly started setting a trap using all his available kunais and his ninja wires.

After Kojiro finished setting up his trap, he hid behind some rocks and thought to himself, "Well, I don't know how to execute genjutsu in a whole area yet; all I know is how to execute a basic genjutsu on one person, but what if I use the principle of casting a genjutsu on one person to catch all the old man clones in genjutsu to buy me enough time to activate my trap?"

Kojiro furrowed his eyebrows at this and kept thinking, "I never tried it before. I need to control my chakra precisely in order for me to succeed in catching those clones in genjutsu; also, I need to time it perfectly so they can't avoid my trap."

After a few moments, Onoki's clones arrived at the area where Kojiro set his trap.

One of Onoki's clones chuckled and said to the other clones, "Well, let's go and see what the brat is up to this time."

After the clone said this, all the clones moved and charged to where Kojiro was hiding.

Kojiro watched closely as Oniki's clones were getting closer to his location.

"Now," 

Quickly Kojiro did a series of hand seals and tried his best to control his chakra with precision.

"DISORIENTAL JUTSU."

All of Oniki's clones felt the genjutsu, and they quickly released the genjutsu in less than a second.

"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."

However, after they released the genjutsu, the four clones noticed 20 kunais were flying at them from every direction.

"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."

The four clones quickly used shunshin jutsu, dodging all the kunais, and when they appeared, they were surrounding Kojiro.

Kojiro sighed helplessly when he saw that he was surrounded by the four clones; he raised his two arms in surrender and said to Onoki's clones, "I surrender."

Onoki's clones narrowed their eyes when they heard what Kojiro just said, and one of the clones asked, "You surrender?"

Kojiro nodded and said to the clones, "yes, there is no point for me to continue this fight. You are more skilled, stronger, and more experienced than me I tried everything I could against you, but it was useless, so I surrender."

Oniki's clones kept narrowing their eyes more as they heard what Kojiiro was saying; suddenly, a chain made of rock flew from the palm of one of Onoki's clones, and the chain wrapped around Kojiro tightly.

Kojiro yelled in surprise at Oniki's clones after he was bound by the chains, "What the hell, you old man? Are you out of your mind?"

The clones didn't reply to Kojiro; one of them grabbed Kojiro, and then they Shunshin away.
