Title: Leaving
....
He was a monster... A True predator.
That's all I could think as I stood with a sword in my hand while breathing heavily.
"I'm coming Tomoe. Prepare yourself." Sensei said as he immediately appeared beside me and swung his sword.
"Damn it all!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I swung the sword against his, only for it to be a feint as his other hand punched at my ribs.
Over two month had passed in the outside world which meant that according to Sensei's calculation, close to a month had passed in here.
Sensei was supposed to leave a week ago but he said I was a fine specimen he could leave to die out, so he continued my training, but this time on weapons.
"Your movements are getting better, even with my pressure's suppression." Sensei said.
Clang!
Our swords clashed only for me to be pushed back.
...
3rd POV
Trying to remain standing, Tomoe tightened her grip on the sword and tried walking towards Shun. Tried, being the keyword as she wobbled as she walked.
Before she could take the third step, the sword feel from her hand and she fell on her knees.
Cough. Cough.
"Not bad." Shun said and withdrew his aura.
This aura was the peak aura a normal human could ever reach in this world without any cheats to back them up, 1M.
"H-how long.. did I last.. with the King's Haki this time." Tomoe asked.
Shun had told her that this was the effect his willpower had when used in conjunction with his chakra. Willpower was power from the Spiritual energy hence it's ability to render weak willed people powerless under it.
"You're improving." Shun said impassively.
"Not long enough, right?" Tomoe asked.
"Don't dwell in the seconds." Shun closed his eyes and said. "Now, again, but this time, no weapons. I know you prefer Sword fighting, and I have to say, that the Amatsukami is a fine partner to have."
Shun praised her ability to use the sword he had made for her as she sheathed it while releasing a sigh.
"But, hand to hand combat continues to be the most versatile and adaptive form of fighting. For the sake of the world outside this village, I need to model your bones, develop your muscles and train your mind to its limits. So that you will become someone strong enough to protect your loved ones." Shun said.
"You have had impressive training in melee combat, but your fighting style is more suited for dealing with a single opponent." Turning around he put away his own sword and continued. "Since the battles outside is a free for all, expect to be out in a situation where you will be surrounded by enemies. The restrictions this domain placed on you chakra will help you learn precise chakra usage."
"When it comes down to it, physical combat, augmented with proper and precise chakra usage will be the most efficient and dependable way of disposing of your enemies." Shun said and suddenly thought of something before muttering. "Unless they have the eight gates technique."
"I understand." Tomoe said and took a fighting stance.
"The first lesson I taught you is how to stay alive... How to fight and dodge at higher speeds. Your lesson after that was fighting under conditions of substantial pressure." Shun said and began releasing his Haki again.
"Combat under the effects of my king's Haki mixed with killing intent has strengthened your tolerance a considerable amount these last few months. But now, for the third field of focus... Your field of vision is too narrow, too focused,"
Shun's figure flashed as soon as he finished saying that and appeared behind her and swung his arm to her head.
Tomoe's reaction speed was fast enough and she turned swiftly and threw a punch to intercept.
"Hmm?... I have to say, that was a nice punch, Tomoe." Shun praised in surprise because the punched seemed to have shaken his skin a little.
As he talked, she threw another punch only to hit an afterimage. "How much strength do you suppose you used releasing a strike of that power? Do you think you can do that for two days, three days straight?"
Tomoe continued to attack while Shun had his hands at his back as he dodged and talked at the same time.
"Proper conservation and distribution of chakra in prolonged battles is important, but the same goes for your body. Chakra, like a sword, is a tool for you to control and utilize, your body is the centerpiece that brings the tools together to create a true warrior,"
Shun caught her left hand, pulled it behind her and used his elbow to hit her spine. "Defend yourself with chakra, Tomoe. I will allow it."
Shun said and immediately, Tomoe spread her chakra toward her back but Shun merely put his hand on her back and pushed a little..
Boom!
...
Opening her eyes once more, she found that she was back in her body. Sitting up, she felt lethargic for a second before she could register her surroundings.
"You're awake." She heard Shun's jovial voice. "Come here for a sec."
Tomoe stood up, unsurprised by the change in personality Shun has. On one occasion he'd be a demon sent from hell, on another occasion he'd be your gentle older brother, or gentle neighbor, knowledgeable teacher, old sage, or dumb idiot.
She had gotten so used to them that she had even began to believe that he wasn't just a young man in his early twenties no matter how he looked.
Although she knew she wasn't that knowledgeable about the happenings of the world, the things that Shun always says or creates are not things that should be existing now. Either they were from the past or from the future, whichever one it was, she didn't know.
"I'm about to leave..." He said with a smile as he continued tinkering with the odd cuboid object in his hand. "I've even over stayed by a week just to make sure you are up to par with the monsters you'd see outside. No matter what you experience, know that you were trained by G#£."
"Hmm?" She didn't particularly hear his last word but weirdly enough, she felt it wasn't important.
"This here is one of my earliest creations, from years ago, The Calogram. It records events and stores them in form of pictures or videos. All our training have been recorded in here so anytime you feel like you're lost, press in this button and revisit everything we've been through together." Shun handed it over to her and smiled gently..
"I've just configured it so that only you can access it. If forcefully opened by someone not of your bloodline it'll explode and kill everyone in a ten mile radius of it. This is important technology so safety measures have to be taken." Shun said lightly.
Tomoe frowned deeply hearing it and asked. "Does it really have to come to that?"
"Come to what?" Shun titled his head.
"Killing everyone in a ten mile radius."
"Oh that? Of course it has to come to that. You don't want it to happen? Keep it safe. You're not sure your descendants will keep it safe? Hide it away before you die. Simple." Shun said.
"But even hiding it away isn't foolproof. What if someone discovers it and tries to open it without knowing it's secret?" Tomoe asked.
"Ah, Tomoe-chan. You're so cute when you're worried. Don't mind it just keep it safe. It has a fail safe trigger attached to it. Before it explodes, it will send an alarm that will alert everyone, if in 30 minutes, anyone is still close by, then their deaths is on their own hands." Shun said.
"Then isn't this a weapon?" "Yes it is. It is a magnificent weapon of mass destruction. Some specific people might survive it though so it isn't something to be trusted."
"Ok, that's it, this building will be left to you. Everything inside is yours to do as you wish. Whether you take in someone to teach and then leave or you leave as soon as I leave is up to you." Shun said and began floating upward.
"You're one of my favourite students over the years so take care of yourself out there. I wouldn't blink an eye to save you if I ever heard you're in danger. Ciao." Shun said and directly disappeared.
Tomoe stood on the spot for a good while looking at the air space Shun had stood moments ago.
If she said she felt sad, she'd be understating it. Shun was a good Sensei. He was everything she could have ever wanted in life. A father, best friend, mentor, older brother (Angelic and demonic) alike,
He would be strict when necessary and be forgiving even if she destroyed anything she thinks he holds dear. One time she had destroyed a portrait of what he said was his children in their childhood, when she thought he'd be mad at her, he merely waved his hand and everything was back to how it was.
She didn't understand what it was and till this day, she hadn't understood, but she knew he was kind when necessary and blood thirsty when necessary.
She also knew he had killed his fair share of people if his killing intent was anything to go by, but his smile was so soothing that you'd think he was an angel.
Thinking of the past year she had spent with Shun in his Domain as he called it, she firmed her resolve.
She wasn't going to waste her life and die without fulfilling her dream of traveling the world and seeing it for all it's horrors and wonders.
Giving one last look at the the last spot she saw Shun, she wiped the tear threatening to fall from her eye and promised that she'd show the fruits of her labour by defeating the strongest of the very clans Shun had mentioned during her training.
Uzumaki, Senju, Hyuga, Uchiha and Tengoku clan, she would have them give her a good and satisfying fight to prove that these year of training wasn't in vain.
...
In this very day, Someone who would go down in history as being able to stand on the same pedestal as the various Kages despite not having a village of her own was born.
...
Shun who was unaware of this was already atop the tallest mountain in the cloud country while enjoying the feeling of standing among the clouds.
"Sate. Sate. Sate. How do I go about picking someone to train to become a capable 1st Raikage." Shun said to himself as he zoomed in on all that was going on in the surrounding of the Mountain.
"Also, what kind of training should I give them? Tomoe is special as she's a civilian born with no chakra mutations. Hashirama and Madara are also special as they are Indra and Ashura reincarnations' hence their training being short. The Raikage, Mizukage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage. They all have to have specialised training planned for them. Or should I just throw them into the training dimension? Maybe have them spend a considerable amount of time in the layer of their main elements and then have them train in the little dimension I created for Haki. Umu... That's a good plan.
