A year has passed. This whole year I have been training according to the program given by Shisui. Fought Itachi at the training grounds. At first, Itachi didn't even use the sharingan because of my slow speed. But the harder I train, the strength of my body grows every day. As a result, now our fights turn into Sharingan battles. He has to predict what I will predict what he will predict what I will predict. God damn, this is harder than it seemed at first. Itachi could overwhelm me with brute force during sparings, but fought at my level of strength always for which I was grateful.
Every week we saw Shisui less and less. And when Shisui appeared, he simply said that just a lot of missions came upon him from the Hokage.
In half a year, I learned how to control chakra. Could walk on the surface intuitively after long training sessions. the strangest thing is walking on water. When I walked on the water for the first time, it was so natural to support the chakra in my legs for support on the water that I wondered if I was not the Jesus of this world.
Today Itachi wanted to talk about something so I walk through the garden towards the lake.
On the lake, I saw Itachi sitting on a log and waved my hand.
Itachi jumped off the log when he saw me and waved back.
Coming closer, I said hello: "Good morning Nii-san, what kind of surprise did you promise?"
To which he replied: "At first, my father and I wanted to teach you a fireball. But one day one of the guards saw a fireball on the lake and after checking saw you," Itachi frowned. - "Why didn't you tell us before that you knew this technique? Do you know that it is actually dangerous and if you do not properly direct the chakra you can burn your lungs?"
After thinking, I decided to answer: "I learned it from my father's scrolls. He wrote it down and described how to use it correctly and his ideas from experience. I read and used it was not so difficult since I have a lot of chakra."
The truth is about the chakra. I don't know how much chakra Naruto has to create thousands of clones(haxOn), but when I first blew fire I was able to do it 12 times before collapsing face down into the lake from exhaustion. That's [retty impressive for me. And every time I use chakra, I notice that its reserves are increasing. Now I could blow out a much larger fireball and with more control I could use less chakra.
"Renjiro, show me how you use the technique," Itachi said and walked away so as not to be hurt.
Approaching the lake, I did not hide the volume of the chakra and, having made one, took air into my lungs.
From afar anyone could see a giant fireball that appeared over the lake, which slowly faded away.
Itachi looked at me with suspicious eyes.
"Heh heh something like that," I said, feigning embarrassment, "Was that a little ball, Nii-san?"
"Not at all, it was a well-used jutsu. On the contrary, very good. It looks like you have good chakra control since you can even without seals."
Deciding something to himself, he continued: "Shisui and I were assigned to Anbu so we won't be able to train you anymore. You also have a school in a week. I put weights in your home library for you. How to use them instruction is also there. But take them off before sleep. Current training is of little use to you, so my parents and I discussed it and decided to teach you a very powerful jutsu today for your birthday that will save your life if you are ever in danger or will be your faithful partner. Your father's scrolls may have many techniques but definitely not this one. "
Having said this, he went to the bush and took out from there a long and thin scroll.
"This is a scroll of summoning. Through it you conclude a contract with an animal of the chakra that will help you if necessary. I have a contract with a raven like a father with a mother. Our clan has a good relationship with the clan of crows. However, this contract is usually not touched and my father wanted to keep it for Sasuke when he grows up. But we decided to give it to you too. Contract with the eagles we have only three of them when we made an agreement with them that they will accept three worthy ninjas. How someone will be worthy they themselves determine but you are talented and strong at that age, so we decided on it. But if it doesn't work, don't get upset then we will conclude with the crows. "
I nodded and walked over to the open scroll, concentrating.
"Aim at that little seal in the corner of the chakra it will summon whoever you talk to. Careful not to touch the other seals. They're traps that teleport to the unknowing place person. All the thieves who tried never came back."
Nervous, I nodded and carefully directed the chakra into the desired seal. Pufff rang out and appeared .... a sparrow.
Itachi and I looked embarrassed. Eagle clan? Could Itachi have confused the scrolls? Itachi activated the sharingan and looked at the sparrow.
"Who are you?" - he asked the little bird that was looking at me.
Sparrow ignored Itachi and immediately opened its beak.
"YOU PASSED! YOU ARE WORTHY!" he said in a sudden loud voice. Before I had time to say anything, the sparrow disappeared and I felt a weight on my head. Suddenly everything in my eyes darkened and I flew into the void. The last thing I saw was Itachi, panicking, trying to grab me.
