Chereads / The Returned Kunoichi / Chapter 10 - Explanation

Chapter 10 - Explanation

Kushina carried Tsukiho to the training ground behind her and Minato's mansion. The other two also followed her there.

At first Tsukiho looked at how are they doing hand to hand combat. They made the sign of confrontation before start to fight.

Kakashi initiates to attack as he did a hand chop behind Minato's back. Then Minato reflect it using index and middle fingers to strike Kakashi's wrist. Then his with a puff sound his body disappeared as his hand grabbed Minato's legs.

But then his body also disappeared with a smoke. Then Kakashi came out from earth as he observed around with a caution.

'Uncle Minato is holding back a lot. I guess it because the legendary copy ninja is still a newbie in here. I wonder what is Itachi doing now. Seeing how old Kakashi is now, Itachi should be a baby like me. I don't know he is younger or older than me. Ha....As a fellow Uchiha, I have to educate him. Otherwise we still ended up playing that old coot Danzo's self scripted drama. He can act it all his own without us Uchiha. I have to save my great grandfather from that mama-con. Hey where did they go' She saw when she get distracted they went off from her side. Tsukiho started to sense their chakra signatures.

"Ten o'clock" she said to Kushina and saw that she smiled bitterly.

'Seems like sister and brother in law started to train her. It can't be helped. Even country of Whirlpools is also unsafe from the war though it long gone. I have a hunch they saw something is going to happen that's why they want her to familiar with hidden leaf village' Kushina made a guess.

When they walk towards the location she pinpointed at, Kakashi was on the floor while there was two shadow clones before and behind Kakashi, pointing kunai at him.

"You lose, Kakashi" Minato had a sharp look in his eyes.

"It is impressive to see you using the sword moves without using a sword. Your kenjutsu is very good big brother Kakashi but I have a hunch the timing is wrong. And you using so many complex techniques when you can obviously do better with simple slashes." Tsukiho looked at Minato.

"Am I wrong uncle Minato?"

"Indeed, There is a little bit off about timing. You noticed that Tsuki?" Minato wondered.

"Actually problems lies within the control over sword. If you want to use a sword use a real one, otherwise it will be a big problem later. It doesn't matter to have many fancy moves. It can make stronger the impact of the slash. But it could delay the time if you don't have a good control over the sword. My father said that it is a common mistake among sword users. Even I have that too." Tsukiho shrugged.

"Hahahahaha" Kushina rub her fave against hers. "Isn't my Tsuki is the cutest!" Tsukiho's face became red like a beet.

"So you can use the sword? Aren't you one year old? And a small one to use sword too?" After momentary embarrassment she look at the questioner.

"I can, my parents and my grandma... said that I'm special" she nearly told about Madara. "So they decided to teach me long time ago."

"Then let's spar" Kakashi challenged her.

"Not now, may be after one year we can have a showdown. How about that?" Tsukiho smiled brightly. She knew because of her small body she can't handle her sword well as it is taller than her, may be even taller than Kakashi who is about three feet.

"Well then, agreed" there was fire in Kakashi's eyes.

"If you want we can have taijutsu and ninjutsu spar. I'm little bit better when it comes to those"

"Cough cough...." Minato interrupted while having an eye contact with Kushina who is smiling mischievously.

"Yup let's take a little break" Kushina also sat in the grass field.

"Uncle Minato are you speed type shinobi?" She asked curiously.

"You can said that. But my speciality is shurikenjutsu." Minato scratches back of his head.

"Actually he is good at fuinjutsu too" the white haired spiky ponytail came.

"Ohh then that kunai thing should be flying thunder god technique." She unconsciously said.

"You know that?!" Jiraiya and others wondered.

"My grandmother can do that, but she need to use shaingan for that"

"Neverheard those eyes could help to use flying thunder god" Jiraiya mumbled.

"Tsuki, by the way how long have you start to practice jutsu?" Kushina softly asked.

"More than five months I guess. When I was just started to walk. Some people tried to kidnap me. That day my family really scared. Then I was started to train." She clenched remembering the whole scene. After about an week meeting with Madara she went to walk in her ruined country with Shoko, she encountered people who wear a hash tag like headbands. At that day she really felt her powerlessness in the new world she living in. Shoko was almost died by the time her father found them.

"They should be hidden cloud or stone, or might be hidden mist. They still didn't give up on Uzumaki legacy" Minato said bitterly.

"Like they find that! Greedy bustards!" Kushina scoffed.

"Are all the Uzumaki women scary like this?" Jiraiya shivered.

"Don't know. But Shoko is very nice but mom is way more scary than Aunt Kushina." Remembering certain redhead's sadistic temper Kushina and Tsukiho shivered along side with him.

Meanwhile Kakashi look at the all people around him with his dead fish eyes. But if someone saw him very closely. One can see a hint of smile behind the mask.

"Actually it is really weird to see one year old child talk like this" Kakashi suddenly said.

"It because I'm a genius" Tsukiho shamelessly raised her chest.

"Hehe more like a devil" Jiraiya laughed dryly.

"I had enough rest. I really want to see what one year old capable" Kakashi stood up. His tone became little rude.

"Ok I want to see. What big brother Kakashi capable of too" Ignoring his rudeness she smiled at him.

"After this let's go to get some ramen right Tsuki-chan?" Kushina said cheerfully.

"Hn." Her mom's remainder came to her mind. Then she looked at her aunt's happy face. She didn't want to make her sad. "Okay, let's do that"
