Chapter 32: Training (1)
Dazen was stunned by Kenji's words he didn't expect his teacher to teach him techniques from his clan, "Is it okay to teach these techniques sensei? I thought they were clan secrets."
Kenji smiled and said: "It's not a problem to teach them to our students, the only reason why our techniques are not more widespread in Konoha is because the majority have an affinity with fire and our techniques are focused on the lightning style and require the high degree of affinity to dominate them."
Dazen understood this point, but teaching these techniques outside the clan must still be something rarely done and only when the teacher has confidence in his student, Dazen then spoke: "Thank you very much for teaching me these techniques Kenji-sensei."
Kenji laughed at Dazen's actions and said: "You don't need to thank me, you are my student and you have a lot of talent, of course I can teach you with everything I have, not just you but the other two too, very well, I've already said too much, let's start, today I will start teaching you kenjutsu."
Dazen nodded and pulled out his wooden sword, Kenji did the same as he spoke: "My clan's kenjutsu focuses on basically one thing, that is speed, if you are fast enough you can defeat any enemy before they can react to your movements and to be efficient in using this kenjutsu you not only have to move fast but also be able to react fast."
Kenji continued: "To improve your speed of movement we will redo your training focusing on two things explosion and endurance, explosiveness for you to be able to move at your maximum speed in an instant and endurance for you to be able to maintain that speed for a long period of time, as for your reflexes..."
Kenji smiled with an evil look that made Dazen shiver, "There is no better way to train your reflexes than combat of course, as today you have already done physical training we will start with combat get into position."
Dazen quickly got into a fighting stance as he thought, "He seems to be serious about this training, I think I'm going to get a hell of a beating today."
Kenji continued to smile as he spoke: "We're not going to use any jutsu, just kenjutsu, understand?"
Dazen nodded as he faced his teacher, seeing Dazen's confirmation the smile slowly disappeared from Kenji's face as he spoke, "So... let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kenji disappeared from where he was and attacked Dazen from behind, however Dazen was prepared and managed to react to Kenji's attack by defending with his sword.
Dazen used the momentum of Kenji's blow to gain distance and compose himself, but before he could do anything, almost as if he had teleported, Kenji appeared in front of Dazen, launching a kick towards his body.
Dazen was unable to defend himself and was thrown away, Kenji watched as Dazen stood up and said: "I'm not going to take it easy on this training, so don't hesitate, from now on I won't give you any time to think I'll go all out."
Dazen got up and this time decided to take the lead and attacked, Kenji smiled and counterattacked while thinking: 'I'll make sure the three of you stay strong enough to survive any situation.'
The fight continued for the rest of the afternoon when Kenji finally spoke: "Alright that's enough for today, be here at 7:00 am tomorrow and we will train until late afternoon so bring something to eat understood?"
Dazen was finished and could barely muster the strength to nod in agreement, seeing this Kenji smiled and quickly disappeared, it took about 20 minutes before Dazen could muster enough strength to get up and walk towards his home.
When he was leaving the training camp Dazen met his teammates who, despite being tired, didn't seem to be in as bad a situation as him.
Ayume saw Dazen's appearance and started laughing out loud: "HAHAHA... look at him Hideki can barely walk looks like he got the beating of his life, HAHAHAH."
Hideki looked at Dazen and said, "It seems like you didn't have an easy time Dazen, what happened?"
Dazen was irritated and said: "No really, Kenji-sensei wanted to train my battle reflexes and then proceeded to treat me like a punching bag and I was unable to react to any of his movements."
Hideki couldn't help but laugh at Dazen and said: "You weren't lucky, my training wasn't that bad, as the sensei didn't have the equipment for sensor training he just focused on teaching me the nature of chakra."
Ayume also spoke excitedly: "The same with me, he focused on teaching me how to improve my jutsus and my training in my second nature chakra, it seems that only you will have to endure daily beatings Dazen."
Looking at the girl who seemed to be having fun with her suffering Dazen opened a smile and said: "If I were you I wouldn't celebrate so soon what I'm doing is speed training and don't forget that sensei said he would train you in this aspect."
Hearing what Dazen said, Ayume's expression turned pale and she spoke slowly: "You're kidding me, right?"
This time it was Dazen who laughed at Ayume's appearance, the three continued talking as they walked until they separated to go towards their respective homes.
