I miss my childhood.
So I went out and sought it by getting beat up by Sasuke Uchiha.
Now listen, before anyone complains, the Uchiha Massacre hasn't happened yet. So what I did was I conned him into a chakra control exercise(showing him tree climbing) in order to trade for Uchiha level tricks(Itachi's version too) with shuriken.
Of course, this also involved getting bullied and beaten up for basically extorting him which he was surprisingly smart enough to realize what I was doing for a 6 year old brat, and then eventually receiving the tips for Sasuke is a "fair" guy.
Let me tell you, that these tips and tricks really do make you feel cool. Like a breath of fresh air from not trying to go Anywhere(Nowhere to go) has given me room to Play. And I did. Double front flip shurikens that are released by kicking and having strings attached to them so that when they land on the tree, I will myself up while swinging like Tarzan.
Another thing was balancing on a pole that's 25 feet above the ground in a crow like position above the lake but without chakra control, and the only thing that saves me from falling is using the wire and chakra strings(that have barely been developed based on control over water walking already) and shuriken, but mainly to train Balance. I
t really is a breath of fresh air, knowing iryo-nim can fix most of your injuries and that it's expected you get injured as it's covered by the academy for training "Hard".
AND COMPARED TO THE INITIAL PESSIMISIM I STARTED OUT WITH, THIS FREEDOM IS SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.
