Capítulo 16: Second Year(2)
[This is Friday's chapter. Apologies for the delayed update.]
The first rays of dawn painted the village in hues of gold, signalling the beginning of a new day. Inside the academy classroom, the air buzzed with excitement and animated conversations as students settled into their desks, sharing tales of their school break adventures. Laughter and whispers echoed off the walls, creating a lively atmosphere that filled the room.
As the clock ticked towards the official start of the school day, a hush fell over the class. The door creaked open, and in walked Ryuji Mataka, their homeroom instructor, with a warm yet authoritative presence. The students instinctively straightened in their seats, their attention shifting towards the front.
"Good morning, class," Ryuji greeted with a broad smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I hope each of you had a restful and rejuvenating break. It's good to see the familiar faces."
"Now, let's get down to business," Ryuji continued, walking to the front of the class with a confident stride. "Welcome to your second year at the academy. I'm sure you're all eager to dive into the practical aspects of being a shinobi. We've got some exciting challenges ahead, and I'm confident that each one of you will rise to the occasion."
He paused, allowing his words to sink in, and then added with a twinkle in his eye, "This year, we'll be delving deeper into the intricacies of ninja arts, strategy, and teamwork. It's a crucial time in your training, so pay attention, work hard, and most importantly, let the will of fire burn brightly in you."
'Tchh,' Renjiro sneered inwardly. He was never a big fan of this will of fire 'philosophy'.
The students nodded in agreement, their faces a blend of anticipation and determination. Ryuji concluded, "Let's make this year one to remember. Now, without further ado, let's embark on our journey together. Open your textbooks to the first page, and let's get started."
The rustle of turning pages and the focused hum of engaged students filled the room as Ryuji, with a final encouraging nod, set the tone for the challenges and growth that awaited the second-year students at the Konoha Ninja Academy.
Following the engaging history and strategy lessons, the students eagerly anticipated the commencement of their specialization classes, each one a gateway to a particular aspect of ninja training. Ryuji Mataka, their homeroom instructor, guided them through the transition, ensuring a smooth shift from theory to practical application.
It was seamless as the Academy had sent a missive regarding their specializations during the break and everyone needed to choose one before the beginning of the school year.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the general classes, Ryuji addressed the class, "Alright, it's time to delve into your chosen specializations. Let's make the most of it."
The students dispersed into different classrooms, each labelled with the specific specialization it offered. The air buzzed with anticipation as they embarked on this new phase of their training. Renjiro made his way toward the classroom dedicated to sensory training.
Entering the room, Renjiro found himself amidst a group of like-minded individuals, each eager to refine their abilities. Mitsuko Suzuki, a decent chunin renowned for his expertise in sensory techniques, stood at the front.
In one corner, was Hyuga Haori. The second-best overall student the previous year. The air around him hinted at the aura of disciplined precision. Nearby, students from the Inuzuka clan, accompanied by their loyal ninken companions, animatedly exchanged experiences from their recent break.
'That's surprising, I thought the trio would definitely choose the tracking class. Maybe they decided to widen their horizons. Seeing Makoto and Siba here, Mitsuko must be at either of the two classes.' Renjiro thought.
Eri Yamanaka, whom Renjiro recently found out was Sato's daughter, engaged in hushed conversations with Aiko Nakamura, perhaps discussing what they did during their break.
"Welcome, future sensory ninjas," Mitsuko greeted with a nod. "In this class, you'll learn to perceive the chakra around you, detect hidden dangers, and enhance your situational awareness. Let's begin."
As the specialized training unfolded, each student immersed themselves in the unique challenges and insights of their chosen path.
For Renjiro, he was merely observing as he wanted to know if Sato was only teaching him the bare minimum or not.
As Mitsuko Suzuki began the class, his demeanour exuded a blend of authority and encouragement. He gestured towards a large diagram on the board, illustrating the intricacies of the chakra network within the human body. His words carried the weight of knowledge gained through years of experience.
This was a very informative session for Renjiro as he noticed that Sato had skipped some of the basics. It was nothing major, so it was understandable since Sato was a very busy shinobi. The basics were that the academy first focused on sensing one's self before sensing external things and beings
Mitsuko deeply explained the chakra network between various organisms and also between animate and inanimate objects.
'Maybe if I get a hang of the chakra network of different objects, I could takeover puppets from Suna shinobi or at the very least, sever their connections to their puppets. This would be a useful counter If I ever face them in the future.' Renjiro remarked as a smirk enveloped his face.
As the class progressed, Renjiro became increasingly adept at discerning the nuances of chakra signatures, paving the way for his growth as a skilled sensory ninja within Konoha.
It was not long before the class ended and the students had their lunch break.
==========
The midday sun casts a warm glow over the village hidden in the leaves as the students enjoyed a well-deserved lunch break. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as they shared stories, exchanged food, and reenergized for the challenges that awaited them in the afternoon.
After the break, the academy grounds transformed into a bustling arena of activity. The students gathered for their fitness classes, eager to engage in the physical aspects of their ninja training. The afternoon curriculum now included taijutsu spars and shuriken throwing, promising an afternoon of skill refinement and friendly competition.
On the training grounds, the sound of footsteps and the rustling of leaves accompanied the students as they prepared for the upcoming taijutsu spars. Instructors guided them through warm-up exercises, ensuring their bodies were primed for the dynamic movements that awaited.
For the Taijutsu spars, they were paired up randomly. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation, and each student was eager to showcase their taijutsu skills and learn from the exchanges.
The sparring sessions unfolded with a symphony of controlled strikes, evasive manoeuvres, and tactical positioning. The academy instructors moved among the students, offering guidance and corrections to enhance their techniques.
Simultaneously, another section of the training grounds was dedicated to shuriken throwing. After the Spars, they would move to weapon throwing. The students would line up, each armed with a set of Shurikens and Kunais. The Instructors would demonstrate proper form and technique, emphasizing accuracy and speed in launching the deadly projectiles.
Renjiro, having honed his skills in both taijutsu and shurikenjutsu, embraced the challenges of the afternoon. His taijutsu spar against Hatake Hiro showcased a blend of Uchiha agility and strategic thinking, while his shuriken throwing demonstrated a keen eye for precision.
Renjiro, drawing upon the training he received from Miwa, moved with a fluidity that seemed almost effortless. His movements were calculated, a testament to the fusion of agility and strategic thinking. As the spar unfolded, Renjiro showcased a keen understanding of his opponent's rhythm and openings.
Hiro, while skilled, found himself outmanoeuvred by Renjiro's seamless combination of strikes and evasive manoeuvres. Each move from Renjiro seemed to anticipate Hiro's responses, creating a dance of precision and control on the training grounds.
Renjiro's taijutsu proficiency became evident as he executed a series of swift kicks and punches, exploiting openings in Hiro's defence. The spar, though friendly, became a showcase of Renjiro's prowess, leaving little room for Hiro to counter effectively. The spar, while one-sided, served as an opportunity for both students to learn and grow.
As the spar concluded, Renjiro received a similar notification about exp gain. This time around it was much less than what he got from his first spar with Kaito. Nevertheless, he was still happy about it.
