Chapter 23: Chapter 22
I started the training to become strong. I moved to an area in the city where it was away from homes and gave me private time.
As for the private ninjas of Aki, she asked one of them to follow me and I couldn't refuse for some reason when she glared at me.
As to why I was training, no one doubted it now. They were suspicious when I applied for the academy, but Aki said to them "His father was killed right in front of his eyes. He is hungry for revenge." and they believed her completely.
I first started running. I was supposed to run 10km, but my body gave up on me only after 3km. And since I was in a higher altitude, the air was thin. Another problem I had was that, I didn't have the pills from Root.
That means, once I am tired, I have to drag myself to my new home or sleep there till I can move. I tried forcing myself to do more, but my body didn't move.
I fell and laid on the ground. Then a ninja appeared before me and said "That's why there is a procedure for everything. You first have to do light exercises and then go for heavy exercises like this."
I could tell that he was my bodyguard, but his face was covered. He then bent and placed his plams on my chest.
A green light came out and I regained my chakra, enough to move around. He said "Don't directly jump to exercises of adults." and disappeared.
I then decided to go for the bald God training in the future and first train according to the Root training, while slowly including the bald God training.
I did the root training and just as always, I became a sloth and my bodyguard had to carry me home. Aki kept scolding me as to how I was reckless, but somehow I was more happy than guilty when hearing her scold me.
I ate a lot, not bothered by the glares of others in the family. I continued my training for three months and I could finally fell my body adjust to the Root training. At the end of three months, I could complete a whole set of Root training, with only my breathe becoming heavier.
I was sure that I could do one more set before I become a sloth. I felt this as a progress, as my chakra had also increased a lot.
Before, my sharingan was just for show, just to use occasionally. But, now I could finally use it during a battle. I still have to use it as a last resort as it still drains a lot of chakra.
Now, after three months, it was finally the day the academy starts. I was excited to go there, as even though I knew the basics of ninjas from konoha, it differs in every village.
Since the village is close to the capital city, I decided to go to academy everyday on foot. They decided on the village close to the capital city, so that the ninjas can arrive on time when something happens in the village.
I didn't have any books with me, as they didn't provide any. I was standing before Aki, I said "Well then Big sis Aki, I am leaving for the academy."
Aki was tensed and said "Be careful Hakuto, the life of ninjas is not how you imagine to be. Whenever I feel that you are going to be in danger, you are immediately going to quit being a ninja."
I nodded with a smile and left to the academy. It was a fifteen minutes travel if I ran, but since I didn't want to arrive all sweaty to school, I went on my own pace and took half an hour.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, which had huge doors between two steep hills, which looked more like pillars, I was stopped by two ninja guarding it.
They asked "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
I showed them my application from the academy and said "I joined the academy. I live in Arashi."
They looked at the application and sent one ninja to confirm it. After they got to know that what I said is true, the ninja returned my application and said "Sorry kid, there hasn't been any application from outside the village till date. You might want to stay in the dorms. It's better than going back and forth everyday."
"My mom wouldn't allow that. Thanks" I said and left towards the second biggest building in the village.
It was close to the Raikage office, but not that much. There were many other kids besides me who were going to the academy.
At the entrance, we had to hand over our application and receive a badge, which is like an ID card for students.
I got mine, which was same as others. It was a steel one in the shape of a spark, indicating the Land of Lightning.
We were asked to gather in a ground where a stage was set. We were told that Raikage would come to give us a speech.
As we were all standing in line, a man with dark skin, blonde hair, muscular body and oval shaped sunglasses walked onto the stage.
Everyone looked at him and could recognize him, even me. He walked to the mic and shouted into it "Hey hoo.... Killer bee in the house....."
(Salute to all the authors who used killer bee in their fan-fics. I understood how hard it is to write his dialogues, or rap.)
Before he could even start his rap, Raikage came flying from his right and sent him flying with a kick.
All the kids cheered for Raikage, as many were seeing his strength for the first time. Even I was amazed when I saw Raikage kick Killer bee.
I couldn't even see him. All I saw were blue sparks, killer bee disappeared and Raikage was standing before the mic.
Raikage, who was in Lightning release Chakra Mode, returned back to normal and walked closer to the mic.
He said in the mic "Welcome kids, I won't take much of your time, which you can use to become stronger. Just train and become a military might Kumogakure can be proud of."
He then left after his small speech. I don't know if I could call that a speech. Well, even those two sentences managed to make all the kids go crazy.
Then, we were asked to line up for an entrance evaluation to assign us our classes. After making sure no one was seeing me, I used my Byakugan to sense the chakra of other kids.
After seeing their chakra, I was disappointed. Almost everyone had a very small amount of chakra. The reason I said almost was because I could see two kids with chakra half of mine, which was amazing for their age.
