"But what is the reason for Kenichi to assist against this kid!? You know Kenichi have his internal energy so shouldn't you be teaching him about that" asked Miu
"Ancient jujitsu is one of the martial arts where internal energies control is tested the most" Akisame said
"So Kenichi is here to learn better control of his internal energy" Miu asked
"Yeah that's right" Akisame said
When Kenichi heard there words he thought "No that's not right!? it wasn't supposed to happen was it"
A kid around 12 years old came out from the house wearing the same uniform as Yamamoto Taki.
"Sorry to intrude" said Akisame
"No problem, Let me introduce you to him this is my son Naoki" said Yamamoto.
Naoki looked at Kenichi and he also did the same "How is this guy any different from what I remember" thought Kenichi
"Father is this my sparing partner though he looks in good shape can he really fight" asked Naoki.
"Ofcourse he can and let me tell you Naoki even if you went all out you won't be able to beat him" said Yamamoto
"What!!?? I don't believe it let's have a match and see it now" said Naoki.
"Fine if that's what you want" Kenichi replied.
So after this conversation all of them went into the backyard of the house to watch the fight against Naoki and Kenichi.
Kenichi saw Naoki digging a small hole at the place where he could stand and stood at the position where the sun was facing his back and used a stone to boost his speed.
He smiled when he saw all this and shook his head thinking "If that's all he had then it will end fast"
They both six at their positions then Taki said "Ready fight"
Naoki used the stone as a boost to increase his speed and reached Kenichi within seconds but saw Kenichi smile and looked down and saw Kenichi's knee coming for him and before he could react it connected straight to his stomach and he flew up in the air going 4 to 5 feet up the fell flat on the ground and started coughing.
"*Cough cough* How *cough*" asked Naoki as he massaged his stomach while coughing.
"Your first mistake was not paying attention to your opponent while you maid traps for him otherwise you would have seen that even after seen them he didn't care much about them and smiled instead, then the second one was you went easy on your opponent" Yamamoto Taki explained to his son.
"I-I am sorry father it won't happen again please let's fight once more" said Naoki to Kenichi who nodded his head and said "Sure let's do it"
This time Naoki didn't made any tactics when fighting against Kenichi.As he stood infront of him, Kenichi noticed the small amount of internal energy he was releasing from his body covering him which have him a huge surprise.
"You didn't thought that you are the only one who could control internal energy right!" Akisame asked
"I didn't, but never thought that a young kid like he could do it as well" replied Kenichi as he went into his battle stance.
"Are both sides ready... then fight" said Taki
Naoki made the move first and disappeared from his position.
"He is faster than before" Kenichi said as he saw him disappear from his position and came right infront of him.
He used both his hands to block Naoki's punch but because of the strength of the puch he got pushed back 3 to 4 steps backwards.
"His speed and strength have increased what else did" Kenichi thought.
After the punch Naoki kept moving forward and didn't have Kenichi any chance to attack him but just keep defending himself. He swiped his legs making Kenichi almost fall down but he used his hands and propelled himself backwards to stand on his feet.
"Ok, I can't beat him if I don't get out of my restraints and he obviously won't give me that much time than there is only one thing left to do" Kenichi thought.
After think till here he released his internal energy covering his body and blocked Naoki's punch that came to his face "Now it's my turn" he said while looking at Naoki who was shocked after seeing Kenichi release his internal energy.
Kenichi punched towards Naoki who jumped back to dodge but Kenichi followed and used his right leg and gave a spin kick to him at his stomach which connected and he flew 5 to 6 feet back.
"2nd match Kenichi wins again" Taki said.
"Yo-you can use internal energy!?" asked Naoki.
"Why else do you think they are here for" said Taki.
"Then he is here to train his internal energy" Naoki said
"Yes, now get up we will start our training right away" said Taki and started walking away from there.
Kenichi shrugged his shoulders and followed, Naoki who looked at him sighed and shook his head.
After sometime.
"WHAT THE HELL!? WHY AM I DOING THIS!?" shouted Kenichi who was using his hands to hold onto the two thick wooden poles to stay float in the air with his legs crossed and on it a 29kgs Buddha statue was lying while below him were a bunch of lighted incense sticks.
"Don't think about any unnecessary things just try to focus yourself and feel the internal energy" Akisame who was having a tea said from the ground.
"I am 5 feet above from the ground using my hands to stay afloat with 140 kgs of dead weight and below me were a bunch of incense sticks which will burn my ass if not pierce me when I fall on the ground and he wants me to focus!!!??? Why did I think that Akisame won't be able to give any challenging body training to me " thought Kenichi.
"Your mind is still not clear, focus" said Akisame.
After cursing for sometime Kenichi did as Akisame asked him to do and with great difficulty when he succeeded he was shocked as the speed at which his internal energy was moving it was faster then ever before.
He followed the route of Son family cultivation technique and his internal energy which had stopped increasing for some time had started increasing once again making him want to shoot in delight but he controlled himself and continued to cultivate his internal energy.
For one week Kenichi trained like never before, Akisame and Taki pushed his body to the limits making him feel exhausted time after time but he still smiled as he felt the increase of his internal energy.
"Thank you Taki for helping me to train Kenichi" said Akisame.
"It's alright I also liked training someone like him who is always ready to breakthrough his limits" said Taki while complimenting Kenichi.
"Thank You very much Taki-san" said Kenichi.
"Don't worry atleast cause of you my son had became more serious about training" said Taki
"You just wait I will beat you sometime" said Naoki.
"Sure, I will wait for you!" said Kenichi with a smile.
After conversing with eachother for sometime they departed from the mountain to go back to Ryozanpaku.
As they walked down the cliff Kenichi was thinking "Ahh... it's been a week and I haven't met my Saeko and Shigure, hell I didn't even got to spend time with Miu who was with me here cause of the training. Well I will have to think of a way to spend some more time with them, that's all"
