Chương 25: Strange Parents

The moment Nikko left the Senju compound after completing his final training with Tsunade, he decided that now is the time for him to graduate from the academy as he is now as capable as a chunin in terms of strength. So he now needs the experiences from the real missions and scenarios so that he can prepare himself for the upcoming 2nd Ninja War which will be more intense than the 1st one.

In his mind, he could already plan all the things about how he would continue and didn't want any restriction on that. So he needs to get permission from his parents as soon as possible so that he can pursue his plan and at the dining table, he starts talking about that finally.

"Mom and Dad, I need to talk to you", strange signs appeared on the head of Nikko's parents though that was invisible as they heard Nikko talking this seriously to them. Though their child is reserved from birth and likes to only talk when necessary, at least at that time he will act cutely and have some childness, but this time it was totally different. Like one adult person is talking to another one. So they became curious what could make their son like this and decided to listen to him early and his mom replied, "Go on son, we are fully concentrating on you."

'I want to graduate from the academy as I am now confident that I'm better than every genin in the village and even comparable to many highly skilled chunin. So I want your permission and application to the academy for an early graduation exam.' Nikko was quite confident that he would get much opposition from his parents. But their facial expression told the other. They seem like they were expecting these things to happen for a very long time.

"Yeah you can. But you have to fight with me and your mom separately and have to hold for 30 seconds. If you pass the test you can apply for graduation" Nikko's father told him as Nikko became more stunned at his words. '"Tomorrow morning in the clan's 8th training ground. Be there at sharp 6 AM or don't ask for forgiveness about the beatings which you will get. Always remember that punctuality is the key to be most successful in any career, especially in ninja life." her mother added while evilly smiling at him which made Nikko tremble in fear as he now knows what types of monster his parents are as ninja. Even if they use 10% of their power, he would be dead in a second. But what else he can do and thus went to sleep after completing his dinner. Only one thing was inside his mind, 'I am an idiot and stupid. Even worse than an ass.'

.....

Due to the heavy mental pressure he felt after talking to his parents, Nikko couldn't sleep at first and after midnight he fell asleep thus making the very first mistake of the day. He was 5 minutes late to reach the training ground. As soon as he reached, his mom kicked him and then made him run around the ground a hundred times as punishment while his father was seeing him emotionlessly. At first he thought his dad was picking up on him and enjoying his misery. But after some moment he realizes that his dad was also delayed by a few seconds and thus gets stunned by his mom's thunder spirit as punishment. This make Nikko almost faint from terror as he knew he was lucky today that he didn't get shocked today by his mom like his dad.

After completing his punishment, Nikko was almost out of breath as he not only had to complete the 100 round (45 km equivalent) under 20 minutes which was almost impossible for kids his age. But in fear of extra punishment he completes that. But her mother was not a mad woman and loved him the most. So she then took care of him while he had breakfast which was prepared by his mom beforehand and after that, the time for his duel with his parents came which will decide his future. Even his dad was out of his stunned phase laughing and eating with them. It was like nothing happened to him although his cloth was like a man could have after beating when caught at a bathhouse while peeping.

Though Nikko was happy that his mom didn't go further with her punishment, he has some doubts about her mental stability. Actually he couldn't describe his feelings now whether he should laugh or cry to have parents like them.

But he knew one thing and that was he needed to get all the rest to become refreshed before their duel. Otherwise forget about 30 seconds, he wouldn't even survive 3 seconds.
