Chapter 13: New technique.
Levi's Pov.
Today was an ordinary day. Well, as usual, I wake up with pain all over my body. And I'm incredibly lazy to move. After getting dressed and eating, I started getting ready for the academy. Entering the classroom, I caught a murderous look on me. Looking in the direction of this look, I saw Nami.
Hmm, why such aggression? As soon as I sat down at the desk, she turned to me and growled.
"Don't look at me." I raised an eyebrow at this, but she just turned away. Strange.
All the lessons went at such a pace. I decided to find out the reason and after she ran out of the classroom, I followed her. Jumping out in the middle of a deserted street, I asked.
"What happened to Nami today? Why such hatred?" I saw how her face distorted in anger.
"You and the Uchiha clan are the same! I thought you were a normal guy, but you're just a greedy jerk." What a colorful description.
"And what makes you think so?" I'm really curious.
"Hah, you don't know?"
"No."
"Stop lying!" I just don't get it. Do girls in this world get their periods that early?
"Let's start from the beginning, how did I or my clan offend you?"
"I don't want to talk to you." How complicated.
Okay. I'll go home. When I got home, I decided to go to (my father's) office. Knocking on the door, I heard
"Come in." As soon as I entered, I saw a very happy (father) with a stupid smile.
"Did you want something, Levi?"
"Yes, I wanted to know what our clan did to the Kurama clan?"
"Hm, and how did you find out?"
"From my classmate Nami Kurama."
"I see. Your sister lured their main customer to the Uchiha clan. Many clans tried, but only she succeeded. Oh, how proud I am of her." Sister, are you serious? I didn't think she was capable of that. So now everything is clear, the Uchiha clan took over the Kurama clan's missions.
"Eh, and I wanted to be friends with her." I say and (father) looks at me.
"They took civilians on their missions and gave them the temporary surname Kurama. It's only a matter of time until they can't carry out missions. You could say that the Uchiha clan helped them. After all, now they can focus on their clan's affairs."
Good rhetoric for someone who won. But this world is not made for the weak. No one will pity the Kurama clan.
"Well, we just have to wait until the Kurama realizes this." I say sarcastically.
"Yes, that would be nice. By the way, a noblewoman will be coming to us for shinobi training. In about a month."
"A noblewoman? Why would she need it?"
"Her father wants to seduce the Daimyo's heir. She'll be arriving in about a week. Keitsu will be training her." Now that's news. I hope she won't cause too much trouble.
"Okay, I'm going."
"Bye son." After saying goodbye I closed the door.
Today is training with the great elder. Again... Having gathered myself I go to another funeral. Approaching the teacher's house I am met by a kunai which I stab with mine.
"Greetings teacher." I said with a bow.
"Hello. Relax. Today we will study the technique." I felt my whole body relax.
"Before this, do you know your chakra nature?"
"No, but there is definitely fire."
"Hm good. Let's go." I followed him into the forest along the way we did not talk. Taking out a glass of paper, he handed it to me. Since I know what to do, the questions disappeared. Pouring chakra into the paper completely burned.
"Hm just fire? You have talent in hiding chakra. So it's not so bad. You will use ninjutsu only as a last resort." It's true I am very good at hiding chakra. And with the Murasame sword, I can become the greatest hidden assassin. I think that I have 1 element because of the fruit. But with it, I can control fire better than any shinobi. And if you develop the fruit, then you can only reach the Kage level with the fire element. Well, I think so.
"Hmm, I'll teach you a defensive technique. Now it is almost never taught. Since it only resists wind and water. But trust my experience. In critical moments, this technique can help. It is called the wall of fire. From the name it is clear how it works. I used it against a shinobi with the water element. When the water evaporates and steam appears, it is ideal for 3 tamoe sharingan. And with your ability to hide, this can be a good combination."
Wow, to be honest, I'm impressed. I think it is clear that this person has an incredible amount of experience. As well as his understanding of techniques and combat. His advice is incredibly useful.
"Thank you." I said, bowing.
"I am your teacher." He simply said.
"The technique consists of 5 seals, I reduced them to 2. When I was young, they said that it can be reduced to 1. I can't do that."
This is an incredible achievement. Each time you reduce the seal, it becomes more difficult, you can say that he is a master of this technique. Having shown me the seals, I trained it for 4 hours. Without breaks. When I started to succeed, a wind elemental technique flew towards me. I understood that I could not dodge. The only option is the fire wall technique. But I am not sure about it, so I used a fireball, after which it defeated the wind element and flew on.
"I thought you understood what I want from you?"
Sensei told me, appearing next to me.
"Yes, but." I was harshly interrupted.
"From now on, use the fire wall." And so my torment began. I used this technique against the wind element of sensei. He constantly pointed out shortcomings and punished mistakes very painfully. I came home covered in blood and burns. I worked out the technique well. The problem is that it is not very practical. Only against the water element. Well, or use it as a curtain. But my chakra is not infinite for such curtains. The fruit helps me with the fire element, but it still consumes a lot of energy.
