Mob without system in Naruto world

Chapter 12: It heals fast, don’t worry

"But I really need a sword..."

"You are probably thinking about starting to train again, but I won't let you train alone anymore. Tomorrow I don't have guard-duty so I can oversee you so you don't injure yourself. And if you want to use a sword, I will let you have one only when I see that you are ready to handle one."

"You really don't trust me huh? That was an accident which only happened because I tried to do something ridiculous, which I won't do again so don't be so creepily overprotective. I mean, when I used Tenten's kunais nothing happened either, right?"

"I don't trust you precisely because you always try something ridiculous...Tenten's mother told me not long ago that Tenten showed her a dangerous kunai-technique. When her mother furiously asked her where she learned that, she answered that it was your idea."

"She lied. It was her idea alone. I even told her that it's too dangerous but she didn't listen to me..."

"You know, when you lie you should at least act as you believe yourself what you are saying...anyway I won't let you train without supervision anymore and I will definitively not buy you a sword."

"So the problem is, that there is no one to supervise my training? Well funnily enough when I took a stroll right now I somehow got a Jonin, who specializes in kenjutsu, to agree to train me...so which colors can I choose for my sword?"

"..."

After convincing her, my mum finally bought me a sword.

But somehow I think she is pissed off about something because she bought a really cheap one but even worse is the color.

IT'S PINK!!!

Why are there even pink swords?

Seriously, who would even buy them?

At least the form is normal, it's pretty much a standard katana.

But it's still pretty awkward...

Right now I'm with that Hayate guy at a training field, and when he saw my sword the only thing I got was silence and a cough.

ARRGGHHH THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING I WANNA DIE!

Well, when it comes to things like that it's best to keep a poker-face.

"..."

"..."

"Koff, I think I didn't really introduce myself last time. I'm Hayate Gekko, a special Jonin. So anyway since you want to learn the basics of kenjutsu let's start from the beginning. First of all, contrary to Kumogakure or Kirigakure, Konohagakure doesn't put a heavy emphasis on kenjutsu. But it doesn't mean that our kenjutsu is worse, it's just not on a large scale. Most kenjutsu users of Konoha are in fact Anbu members. Many of them start learning kenjutsu only after joining the Anbu though, so why do you think they do this?"

"I guess it's because it's a silent and efficient way to kill?"

"Koff, most kids your age would have answered something like its cool or something...is your head really alright?"

"Come one, I'm just a bit smart for my age, no need to think I'm a psycho. Anyway is my answer right?"

"Well partly yes, but the more important reason is that even members who specialize in mid or long range-fights have the means to get an advantage in close-combat. Even though they could use kunais or taijutsu, the advantage of a sword in close-combat is too big. Koff...anyway I think we should just start. I will show you now the basic posture and movements..."

"Yes, sensei!"

"No need to call me sensei, I'm just showing you the basics...by the way what's with your injury? How long will it take to heal?"

"Just one or two weeks."

"Koff, till then I will just show you the basic movements which only need one arm."

In the Hokage office.

"Good afternoon, Hayate. What brings you here today? Aren't you off duty right now?"

"Koff. Lord Hokage, I came here to ask for information regarding a child with the name Eiji Nakamura..."

"Hmm, that's unusual of you. May I ask you why?"

"Well because I'm currently teaching him, but I don't know anything about him, so I want some basic background information."

"Hmm, I can't say that I ever heard of this child. But I don't think you just decided randomly to teach someone without a reason, right?"

"Koff, to be honest, he is pretty smart for his age and he didn't ask for a lot, he just wanted that I only teach him the basics, but..."

"But?"

"He is a bit odd. I don't know how to describe it, but behind his bratty attitude, there is some mature wisdom the way he approaches things, which wouldn't be possible with smartness alone..."

"Odd? Ahahahaha, well we certainly have many odd youngsters in our village...Ahahaha"

When the Third Hokage stopped laughing heartily he looked towards one of his attendants, the latter then nodded and disappeared.

Not long after the attendant appeared with a report.

Then the attendant summarized: "Eiji Nakamura, 5 years old, a normal background, the only noteworthy things are two incidents. The first where he ended up in the hospital almost dead because he consumed a brainpower-pill which his young body couldn't handle; the second is, where he also ended up in the hospital, the cause this time was that an accident occurred while he was training. Apparently, he injured his right hand, and the medical reports say that it was damaged heavily, so a future as a shinobi is unlikely. That's all."

"KOFF!KOFF!..."

"Are you alright Hayate?"

Just one or two weeks my ass!
