บท 12: Sparring

Two shinobi, their dark clothing blending seamlessly with the dappled shadows of the forest, moved silently through the underbrush as they trained.

As they honed their skills in the art of combat. The sun beat down on them, casting long, shadows across the forest floor, but the shinobi seemed impervious to its warmth

Two red-eyed shinobis one with three black dots and one with a black pinwheel are sparring deep in the forest

"I can't believe the little twerp I help Mistress Hiyori raise become this strong in such a short time"

*clang*

Two Kunais clash with each other

"Ha I'm more surprised than you, I can slow time by 20x using Mingekyo Sharingan but it looks like it still wasn't enough to deal with you Aunt Kimi" Mizuna then looked at Hiyori and Miss Jonin who seem to also be able to keep up with his movements as their eyes are moving while using their Byakugan to follow their movements

'looks like decreasing the speed of my surroundings by 20x isn't enough to deal with Jonins at their level. But this is all my chakra can do right now'

"Have you forgotten who trained me? And I'm older than you. Let's get serious shall we?" Kimi said with a wicked smile

Kimi put her index and middle finger sideways on her mouth and said

"Fire style: dragon flame loud singing"

5 fireballs shoot out of Kimi's mouth and go toward where Mizuna is

"What the hell!" he exclaimed

"Fire style: Fireball "

Mizuna created a huge fireball that slowed down Kimi's dragon flame's loud singing but it wasn't enough to fully stop it so he stepped to the side before it hit him

The dragon flame orbs hit the surrounding trees and went right through them like a knife slicing butter until the dragon flame orbs hit the ground

Kimi jumped into the air and put two of her fingers in front of her

"Fire style: Fire wheel"

A spinning fire tornado with Kimi's mouth as its epicentre started to go towards heading straight at Mizuna

"Give me chakra Chomei"

Mizuna suddenly became enveloped by an Ominous blood chakra

"Fire style: fireball"

A massive fireball suddenly got created towering over the trees surrounding them

"Hey ouch! Stop!" Kimi cried out

Mizuna stopped his skill and returned to normal the ominous blood-red chakra disappearing. There he saw Kimi's angry expression looking at her clothes that had burned on them

"Hahahaha sorry about that Aunt Kimi"

"You twerp, I told you using the seven tails chakra isn't allowed during training".

"Huh you didn't say anything like that earlier," Mizuna said with a teasing smile while Kimi looked to the side, he then said since you lost the bet, Aunt Kimi. Teach me some of the Uchiha skills that you know

Hiyori, Miss Jonin, Asami and Hirabi approached the two who stopped their training

" That was a good match you two" Hiyori said with a smile. While Miss Jonin healed the slightly injured Kimi

Kimi then looked at Mizuna and said "I didn't teach you the advanced Uchiha techniques before because you need to hide that you're a Uchiha. But that's not the case anymore because of that unique ability of your Sharingan".

"What skills do you want to learn?" she said with a warm smile

Kimi then, a seasoned Shinobi, taught Mizuna the Uchiha clan's advanced techniques. With each passing minute, Mizuna's mastery became more precise, his eyes locked intently on Kimi's movements. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the forest

The group headed back to their residence and saw the branch members of the Hyuga waiting for them outside

"We greet the Mistress and eldest young lord" About 30 members of the branch family came to greet them upon their return

' I was too focused on my newfound source of chakra I forgot about these guys'

"Thank you for waiting for us" Hirabi replied to the bowing Hyugas she then looked at Mizuna

"I'll talk with seven of you first, as for the others please come back here tomorrow if you don't have a mission assigned to you"

The group entered their residence, and seven Hyugas followed. Mizuna, Hiyori, Kimi and Miss Jonin guided the seven Hyugas to a room

"Don't do anything and just stand do you understand?" Miss Jonin ordered the seven Hyugas. They nodded without hesitation

'Chomei give me Chakra'

Mizuna became enveloped by ominous blood-red chakra. The Seven Hyuga's eyes widened while thinking if they should run or not but before they could react, the seven tails at Mizuna's back went towards them and went around their body bounding them

"Do not resist" Miss Jonin said while putting two fingers on her lips seemingly preparing to activate their cursed seal if they resisted

The Seven Hyugas all looked at each other with hopelessness and smiled bitterly at the fate of a branch member of the Hyuga can

"Mangekyou Sharingan"

The clock ticked away as minutes passed by. Mizuna enslaved them one by one, his chakra not depleting at all because of the chakra the seven tails provided him

'Thank you Chomei, you can rest now' Mizuna then returned to his normal state

"Does anyone one of you have a mission in progress?"

6 out of the 7 Hyugas raised their hands. Mizuna who wasn't expecting it was surprised. He then asked "What are your missions? "

The only Jonin among the seven spoke, "Young lord the patriarch tasked us to protect this residence you are residing at"

Mizuna looked at his mother and Hiyori who also looked as surprised as him and said "Looks like your family loves you dearly Mother" while smiling warmly.

"Then continue what you are doing but I have one more task for you, gather information about the Shinobis who aren't affiliated with any faction residing in this town, focus on the Jonins and Chunins"

"You can also get an extra Ryo from Miss Jonin as a reward every time you find one" He then looked at Miss Jonin and she nodded

"Thank you, young lord"
