Legacy [ Naruto Reader-Insert ]

Force flows through your body as you concentrate, a jagged, prickly feeling seeps into your veins and bones. It just seemed like yesterday when you first felt chakra within your body. And you were disappointed. Because you had a very small amount of chakra. Granted that you were 5 at that time, and children's chakra paths are extremely small and limited. There are many ways to expand your chakra pool.

It's rather unfortunate you never dug deeper into that. Your chakra pools are really meagre and you only have yourself to blame.

You curse inwardly, for not pestering Shisui about it and instead asking him to teach you the most basic jutsu that any shinobi will learn before they graduate. The four basic jutsu that every Konoha ninja learns; Kawarimi, Henge, Shunshin and Bunshin. You mentally berate yourself for the lack of oversight you have, you could have done some research or asked any of your senpais about the summarized version of the Academy syllabus.

You don't, and look what that caused you.

Thwack!

Something hits your head and you open your eyes. Keirai has a very dangerous smile on his face. And a paper fan in his hand, slapping against his palm in a very intimidating way.

"Girl, I asked you to focus your chakra not daydream." He says. A small wave of killing intent rolls off his body like it was something casual.

You force your lips to curl into a smile. Your fingers are still woven into the appropriate hand seal for channeling chakra through your body, but your muscles are tense. You feel like a mouse about to get eaten by a predator, and according to the gleam in the older man's eyes. It might actually be true.

"I'm focusi-"

Thwack!

He hits you with the fan again and another wave rolls off his body.

A vein near your chin almost popped and your smile is stiff against your face. Stop throwing out killing intent like its nothing, goddamnit! You sorely want to reveal your inner thoughts to him in the loudest way possible. But you can't. Couldn't more accurately, you were deep in Yamanaka territory and almost every one near the training grounds have ninja training, one way or another.

A good shinobi endures.

So you do.

It's been like about three weeks since your visit to your special spot, you had to physically stop yourself from visiting that spot a couple times because your eyes end up really sore the next day and it kinda disrupts your daily schedule you know? So you had to limit the visits to holidays and festivals.

You didn't want to neglect your training, you needed to get stronger. The last time you visited Brother seems like it was so long ago (not because of Hound, definitely not).

The extra weight of the sword on your left is hardly noticeable anymore and you didn't know if it was because you were used to it, or if you've gotten stronger. You'd like to think that its because of the latter.

This would be your third personal training session with Yamanaka Keirai, but so far you've only covered the very basics of chakra manipulation. You did bring it up to Keirai but he just slaps you right in the middle of your forehead with the paper fan and tells you that it was way too early for you to think about learning other jutsu.

How much more longer before clan jutsus? You just wanted to accumulate more tools at your disposal. So that you'd at least have a fighting chance out there. No harm being overly prepared.
