One week later
In a forest clearing, three shadows could be seen clashing against each other, if one looked closely they'll see that it was actually two shadows clashing against one.
They were yanen and yuji clashing against aizen, as he blocked and parried their hits one after another he couldn't help but comment, "You guys are too slow and weak, if you stay like this you're gonna get butchered on the battlefield." of course the was the norm for their age one could even say that both of them were above average but he can't say that or else they'll get lazy so he decided to give them a little motivation.
"It's not us that are weak, you freak, it's you that suddenly got so strong. How did you do it anyhow?" retorted yuji frustrated as he fought.
"yeah plus we're only five years old, how strong can we really become at this age." added yanen siding with him bringing up a good point
"Hmm, I suppose you are right but you can do better than this." Aizen said nodding his head, although inside he couldn't help but agree.
They were just five-year-olds, he couldn't expect them to go through the same training regime that he imposed upon himself, and to be fair they were pretty strong already compared to kids their age, if measured on the standards of future shinobi they will be in the same rank as low chunin, maybe even mid chunin, the shinobi of this time were just that much better then the future ones.
(AN: I remember Hashirama saying that the future generation will always surpass the previous ones but in my opinion, he is both right and wrong in that one.
Right because yes main characters and the like will definitely be stronger.
But if we look at the average shinobi it's not even close, just remember what Madara said when he fought the 7th gate guy, he said that Taijutsu users like him were everywhere in the warring states period, that's crazy if you think about it, 7th gate guy is Kage level and not even a weak one at that, and Madara said people like him were everywhere, anyhow I digress I'll just let you think it through, back to the story)
"AM DONE WITH THIS, HUMPH." said yuji yelling and releasing an annoyed sound before he Jumped backwards and started to weave hand signs.
"Hey, this is supposed to be a Taijutsu-only battle." yelled Aizen with a frustrated tone as he saw what he was doing.
"I don't give a f*ck anymore" yuji retorted at him using foul language.
'I think I might have pushed him too far.' thought Aizen with a wry smile on his face as he heard what yuji said.
Seeing the signs yuji was weaving aizen smiled and even faster than him he went through hand signs and finished his jutsu immediately as he placed both his hands on the ground, 'earth style:earth wall jutsu', a 3 meter(9.8ft) wall sprang up from the ground in front of him blocking him from view.
"WHAT." exclaimed both Yenen and yuji simultaneously, shocked at aizen sign weaving speed, as well as the defensive jutsu he used which meant that he might have predicted what jutsu was coming at him which was just as scary as his speed.
'This is the benefit of being able to weave signs faster than your opponent, for one your enemy can't figure out what jutsu you're going to use by reading your hand signs like I just did with yuji, and secondly, you can quickly use a counter before your enemy releases his jutsu.' thought Aizen from behind the wall as he jumped backwards leaving explosive tags at the place he was just standing.
At this time It was already too late for Yuji to stop and switch to another jutsu so he just finished it, "Wind style:air bullets."
Compressed air bullets formed in front of Yuji and flew at the wall but they only managed to leave some holes behind, the wall was perfectly fine.
"tsk, my air bullets aren't powerful enough to penetrate his wall." commented Yuji after seeing the result of his jutsu.
While yuji was casting his jutsu Yanen wasn't sitting idle either he also went through a series of hand signs and as he finished he immediately sank underground: 'earth style:hiding like a mole jutsu.'
Appearing from underground behind the wall he was surprised to see no one there, but, he heard crackling noises by his side, turning his head he almost jumped out of his skin, "AIZEN WHAT THE F***." three explosive tags were laying on the ground by his side and he knew that he didn't have enough time to go back underground to evade them.
He could only cover his face with both his hands in hope that he wards off some damage, but he knew it was useless as he had seen what just one tag can do at close range let alone three.
*PUF* *PUF* *PUF*
The sound of the explosion he was waiting for didn't come instead came a sound that he recognised as smoke bombs going out.
"YANEN WHAT'S WRONG." yelled Yuji as he came running from behind the wall.
What he saw was just yenen in there only his upper body sticking above the ground with the jutsu obviously still in effect but the look on his face was that of a dead man.
While Yuji was distracted by the sight before him, Aizen came from underground behind him and with his two fingers he poked him in the side of the neck causing him to jump back in fright.
"I win." said Aizen with a small smirk on his face.
Hearing him and realising what just happened Yuji just fell on his back, while
Aizen reached his hand to the still-dazed yanen.
Seeing the hand in front of him yanen came out of his shock, "I am alive." he muttered before taking Aizen's hand and going back from underground, the ground returned to its previous shape as he did so.
Seeing him like that, Aizen couldn't help but think,' it's true that we go through dangerous battles now and then but I think this is the first time Yanen was this close to "death".' with that he thought that this may be a good opportunity to give him some pieces of advice.
"Yanen you should take this as a learning experience, you didn't know what was waiting for you behind the wall and you shouldn't have charged recklessly, you could have just gone around the wall and you would've noticed my tags and not fallen for them and my plan would be ruined." said aizen advising him before continuing, "you need to do your best to not fall for tricks like this again, and make better decisions in the future."
"Look at the bright side though, it could have been much worse and an enemy really used it against you on the battlefield, but now you're ready for it so it's a good thing." said Aizen trying to cheer him up and it seemed to be working.
Yanen visibly relaxed and a smile came to his face as he said,"you're right, thank you for opening my eyes to this aizen" he gave a small bow right after saying that, Aizen's words ignited a fire in his heart to improve, to be better and to never fall for something like that ever again.
Because if he didn't he just saw what was waiting for him.
