6. 2 Years

2 year has passed since i began my training, it was hard at first, but i began to get accustomed to it as the days pass. I kept on getting training on my muscles, my strength and precision all for one reason “ To kill”  i don't really refused the idea but i promised that i will never killed someone innocent  unless i really have to or i have a reason for it.

As i began to think about what i have done this pass two years suddenly i heard a “ creak”  sound and the doors open, it was my dad and uncle lee who came to check my progress like always while smiling at me in a gentle way, i smile at them too and greet them “ good morning dad and uncle lee” i said while smiling in a similar way at them.

“Two years have passed already and now you are eight years old so that means you are at the age to begin your real training but first we should tell you the story of konoha village the story of our ancestors and more importantly our current situation in the wulin(martial) world” Uncle lee seriously said.

The story goes as follow their  ancestors… mine as well arrived at this forest in seek of adventures, they were childhood friends , the four of them left their village to develop their martial arts and become the strongest under the heaven. Until the time they get  in here, ”The forest of death” that’s how it was called before, they told me it was called like that because it had a lot of strong beast and many merchant and adventures died everyday in here until the ancestors came and begin to chase away the beast and developed their foundation and strong martial arts while also saving a lot of refuges people in need,  that's how konoha village was formed, from a group of refugees and the effort of our ancestor.

The only problem was who will be the true ruler of the village. Many years pass and competition rise to see who will be the ruler of konoha village, death after death, descendants after descendants died and hatred grew in the 4 heavenly  family hearts and they began to be more hostile at each other even more.

After a certain event happen and the village was discovered by a group of merchants that spread the news of a village of strong man's living in the forest of death and that arise  many people curiosity wanting to meet the people who dare to live in the forest of death many people came and challenge them and every challenge konoha village would win like this  establishing is might as the strongest village in the wulin world but certain stuffs began to change,.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Wars, death people conspire against each other it was a disaster back then  but still we were able to maintained the title of the strongest even though some people can rival us in power and maybe strength but still they do not dare to fight against us because they do not know our real strength and their afraid to fight us without gaining the upper hand that's why we are still in peace.

After finishing the story of our ancestor and our current situation uncle lee said ” We already are in peace with the outside and we have our own form of negotiation with them, many of our people have already a lot of connection outside the forest and us the oganosuke family of course held a lot  of influence outside the the forest also the other 3 family held a lot of influence outside the forest too, that's why they can send any assassin to assassinate anyone they want, that's why you should become  strong not only to protect yourself but also your family”

When uncle lee finish speaking, the last words he said still resound in my head, become strong no only for me but also for my family ,the people i want to protect.Ii nodded  at him with eyes filled with determination, and when they saw that they nodded pleasingly.

“Now son, that you know our story you should start practicing our family ninjutsu”  Hayato said

while looking at me and seeing that i was paying attention to him he said ”  First i  would teach you a technique call  Shadow steps  it has two form soft and hard when you learn the soft is when you able to walk without making any sound even if you're stepping in glass you wouldn't be able to make a sound and when you master hard is when you be able to hide your presence without anyone noticing, this technique is  highly regarded by  assassin and ninjas like us,also you would be able to run even faster than a white tiger without even using you ki while performing this technique , now let me demonstrate for you, my son” Hayato said.

I then see him taking off his shoes and walking towards a corner of the room where there is a door then he open the door and i see a lot of glasses scattered everywhere in a dark blue carpet, then he place the dark blue carpet in the floor after that he began to step in the glass but what surprised me is that he is not even bleeding when walking in the glass he is not even making any sound when he step and i look down towards his feet and see something even more amazing, he is really not stepping in glass is more like he is sliding through it, like when one skie  in the winter but every step he took were strong and firm, soundless like a gentle breeze in the summer.

While thinking all of that i also noticed that he disappeared, not it feels more like he never wasn’t in here i don't  even feel a trace of his presence in this room, i look at uncle lee and see he is still beside me but i can’t find no even a trace of father, i look everywhere and still saw no one and when i finally gave up, i feel a hand touching me in my left side, i feel a chill run down my spine and i look to see who it was, it was my dad looking at me while grinning.

I let out a sigh and said ” you almost scared to death dad, but at least i was able to see the technique  and i think i will be able to learn it in one month or less believe me” I said while smiling proudly, uncle lee and dad look at each other then shake their heads silently.
