Chapter 6 Hell Training

Although Izuna didn't answer my question, I knew that for some reason he was against this fight, perhaps because he lost his father, or even because he lost some of his comrades in battle.

It could even be both cases, since, having the three tomoe sharingan, it was clear that he had seen many of his comrades leave.

Perhaps he also wanted to end this fight that was taking lives left and right, but even if he and Madara spoke before the clan elders, this would surely be dismissed by them.

So the only way to end the fight was the confrontation between Madara and Hashirama, but this would not come until Izuna perished at the hands of Tobirama.

Determined, I asked him again. "When do you think this war will end?".

This time I saw that he touched the area where the heart is and said. "Until one of our two clans perishes."

"And how many allies does the Senju clan have?" I asked a question again.

"At the moment, only three, the Akimichi, Nara and Yamanaka clans." He answered a little confused by my question.

"How many allies do we have?" I asked the last relevant question at this point in the story.

"We don't have any allies." Izuna answered, with an understanding of the questions previously asked by me, and a touch of disbelief in his gaze.

"Yes, at some point we will fall behind the Senju clan, but not only that, we run the risk of disappearing." I said, while placing my hand on his shoulder.

But something surprised me, since Izuna's gaze had completely changed and this time he showed a smile.

"You know, I think you speak like an older person, you have an understanding and vision beyond what we can see." He answered, while standing up.

"That's not it, it's just that, although I spend most of the day training, I also analyze our situation." I answered, while waving my arms back and forth, with a little anguish.

After this, Izuna shook off his clothes, so we continued our way back to the clan.

When we returned and said goodbye, Madara appeared at his brother's side.

"What was your answer?" Madara asked, while crossing his arms.

Izuna sighed and said. "I think it's time for me to start training." After saying these words, Izuna disappeared from the place immediately.

But his brother's last words left him thoughtful. Before Izuna even left to see Jomei, both brothers were arguing.

This was because Izuna intended to recruit a portion of the ninjas who left for battle to stay in the village, his motive was clearly to continue researching the sharingan and any type of jutsu that would contribute to the defense and attack of enemy clans.

Although Madara was clearly against this, because, at this point, they were beginning to talk about the union of the Uzumaki clan with the Senju clan.

Sufficient reason to deny his brother's proposal, because each of the members on the battlefield was literally essential.

After a heated discussion, Madara told his brother. "What if the young man you're interested in decides this?".

A question that left Izuna baffled, since he never thought his brother would propose such a thing to him.

But, even so, he decided to accept, so the previous events were a perfectly structured plan by both brothers.

However, Madara never expected his brother to tell him that he would start training, since, after his father's death, although his attitude was represented by pacifism, he believed that in the end he was a little afraid of the battle.

Despite this, today he saw a somewhat forgotten part of his brother, so he was quite interested in the conversation he had with that little boy, which made Izuna's eyes shine, the same one he had seen in himself to become stronger.

On the other hand, I, who had finally returned to the training camp with Kai and Kotetzu, greeted them both, but my gaze was a little distant.

"Hey Jomei, are you okay?" Kai asked when he saw my distant look. But I just smiled at him, after which I said. "Better than ever." In my eyes there was a bright flame, desperate to burn more and more.

When we finally started our training, I picked up the backpack I had previously left behind before leaving with Izuna.

From which I took out some bandages, which in between these were some small metal plates, which were rectangular in shape.

So I began to roll each of these on my legs and arms, covering them almost completely.

"What are you doing?" Kai asked, puzzled by my actions. "Oh, this, these are weights, they will make training a little more fun." I answered with a smile.

"You're crazy, I won't use any of that, our training is already complicated." Kai replied, while a couple of drops of cold sweat ran down the sides of his face.

But before I could even give Kai an answer, Kotetzu stood in front of me, stretching out his extended hand.

Seeing this, it was clear what his stance was, so with a smile I handed him 4 bandages. When I turned my gaze to Kai, he was completely dejected and said, "Okay, give me a couple."

When I heard this, I burst out laughing, since I knew that when Kotetzu took my side, Kai directly obeyed whatever I said.

Maybe because of fear of his mother or maybe to not fall behind Kotetzu, so I really thanked Kotetzu internally for training with us, because otherwise, Kai would surely fall far behind in training.

I clapped my hands, to get his attention. "Alright, we'll start with 1000 squats, 1000 push-ups, 1000 sit-ups, and run 1000 laps around the field." I said this, while placing my left hand on my waist and pointing my index finger towards the sky.

Kai's face turned completely pale after hearing how hellish this training would be, while Kotetzu just let out a sigh.

After an hour, I had finally finished the 1000 repetitions of squats, but at the cost of almost not feeling my legs.

At that moment I thought I had lost my legs, but when I took a step, the pain that ran through me was one I will never forget, but at the same time it made me relax a little, since I could feel my legs.

As I turned to look at my companions, at least Kotetzu was still doing the squats, although at a very slow speed. When I saw him, I laughed a little, since the work he was doing would really benefit him.

But when I looked at Kai, he was in an uncomfortable position, with streams of sweat running down his face.

So I approached him and helped him stand up. It was to be expected from the laziest person I had ever met.

After checking the progress of both, I began the next repetition on the list. While this was happening, a pair of scarlet eyes watched us from afar.

In their gaze, enthusiasm and respect could be seen, as well as massive concentration.

The person in question was perfectly camouflaged with completely dark clothing under the darkness of the night.

Only a pair of eyes with three tomoe sharingan could be seen, analyzing what was happening in the training camp, in which only three children were observed exercising.

In the end, I only managed to do 1000 squats and 1000 push-ups. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to such extremes and started with something a little lighter, but at least now I understand Neji and Tenten.

Both Rock Lee, as well as Might Guy, were really persistent and resistant.

On the other hand, Kotetzu did 1000 squats and 200 push-ups. Finally, Kai only managed to do 800 squats.

When we finally wanted to return each one, to our houses, we found a huge impediment.

Neither of us had the necessary strength to get up, so little by little each of us, alone began to lie down.

Until each of us became so relaxed, as we fell asleep one by one.

When the last of us closed his eyes and fell completely asleep, a person appeared next to us, watching us from a distance.

"Hmm, next time you should test your limits." He commented, although it was evident that none of us could hear his words, much less give him an answer.

But it seemed that he did not care, so he removed the weights that we had on our bodies, carefully rolling them up and returning them to Jomei's backpack.

When everything was ready, he took each of us and carried us on his back, the next second he disappeared from the place in a single jump.
