Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Meditation and Training

After reassuring himself to reach to the top no matter what it may be long and hard but at least he will be ready for how society will be shocked about his talents and hardwork. If society looks down at him they will know how wrong they are to look down to him.

In the afternoon Izuku began to meditate following his grandfather's instructions with a friend of his being a high ranking monk of Red Cedar Temple sent by the abbot teaching Izuku how to meditate properly with no distractions from his mind and his surroundings. after a few sessions of meditation a few days later his grandfather gave him journals belonging to Jin Sakai about the other techniques of swordsmanship his grandfather will personally train him in swordsmanship and a combat teacher in Tsushima who owns an old dojo that teaches hand to hand combat teaching Izuku how to fight with hand to hand combat as well as trowing kunai and bow training as well. A few weeks came by and Izuku is now a bit tired from meditating, training with swords, kunai, hand to hand combat and bows. While he was walking around the estates he then sees his mother walking with his grandmother carrying freshly washed laundry and they saw Izuku a bit tired and trying to catch his breath. After that moment they went to the room and had a small conversation

"So my grandson how is training dear" the grandmother asked him about his training then

"Grandma its was hard like my body wants to give up after these hellish few weeks" he answer to her then

"You know your grandfather wants you to have a good life no matter what Even how hard they are they have to make sure you are ok and strong and made sure you can protect yourself" Inko said with reason with a motherly voice to make sure Izuku understands

"Yeah...I understand why grandfather and the others are trying there best to make sure I'm strong like Jin and his many allies before me...so If I want to make sure everyone is safe and become a hero no matter what" He stood up infront of his mother and grandmother and said

"If the world wants to see me fall then I will always come back up again and make hero society think twice about looking down to not just me but to all quirkless people around the world to see me as an inspiration to work hard and smart to reach for their goals of what they want to do." he said with a stoic voice and and look at both his mother and grand mother then

"Well then grandson at least you have an unbreakable spirit and willpower similar to your other other ancestor kazumasa" his grandmother said

"When Kazumasa was still in battle making sure Tsushima is at peace he has great honor as a warrior a samurai but failed to be a father." she then looks at Izuku

"Make sure you may not end up like Kazumasa Sakai who failed to be a father to Jin if you are planning to have a family in the future." She explained in a serious tone after looking at his grandson

"Now that you mention it" then he began thinking.

"What about Jin's mother?" he asked he then look at him then look at Inko then she smiled

"Jin's mother her name was Lady Chiyoko Sakai she was a good mother an a wife to Kazumasa when she gave birth to Jin the maids who helped her giving birth to him including herself witness a fox chasing around the fireflies in the courtyard she believed that inari is watching over him" she explains while smiling

"Well mother now that you mentioned it

coincidentally a nurse who took care of me and Izuku actually has a fox related quirk" Inko said.

While mentioning that coincidence of how Jin was born and how a fox just appeared in the courtyard and Izuku with a nurse with a fox quirk after that Izuku and his grandmother were suprised about the coincidence of the moment.

After a few minutes of rest Izuku left both Inko and his grandmother to continue his training. while in training Izuku is reading Jin's journal learning the various stances and writing also in his journal and hero analysis book. Utilizing its uses and benefits on each stances such as how the stone stance worked with Mongols with Swords and dual wielders, water stances to counter Mongols with shields, Wind to counter Mongols with spears, and finally Moon stance to counter those who are bigger and stonger than him. So Izuku began to analyze the stances and change them to counter different types of quirks depending on the stance. Also he trained himself to climb cliffs and trees also made a handmade grapple hook from hooks and ropes he found in his grandparents estates.

after a few months of grueling training izuku instead of being scrawny has bulked up a small amount of muscle and has learned how to use swords, kunai, bows, and hand to hand combat. Then before Inko and Izuku leave after packing up everything they have His grandfather called to him

"Grandson come here for a moment its important" Izuku heard it

and went to one of the room of the estates then he see a katana with the Tsuka or the handle has a white silk cord with a single menuki and the tsuba or the sword guard has a design of thunder clouds and the fuchi has a cloud engraving also then when his grandfather unsheathed the katana from its tsuba with a black mix with blue and white and grey that represents the colors of thunder clouds and the sageo has a slightly light darkish blue silk cord in the otherside of the saya at the bottom has bronze engravings of clouds with a simple kojiri in the end as Izuku look at the blade he sees how beautiful it is

"This my grandson is the Sakai katana made by the secret steel that our ancestors made called the Sakai steel a special steel that is specially made to make these perfect katanas for our ancestors and other samurai from the clan". He said as he explains about the katana and its origins.

"But grandfather I thought the sakai katana was locked away? or the making of the steel was lost" Izuku asked of how this katana still exist till this day.

"Well as you can see a blacksmith from the local countryside said that his ancestors used to know how to make the steel and still knows how to make the katana since I still have your ancestor's clan saya and colors for the katana" As he also explains how he found out about the blacksmith's descendants.

"Now Izuku remember how we trained you and remember Izuku about the code as well and remember never draw your katana to any innocents" As his grandfather warns him

about how the code had some flaws and how he revised most of it.

"Yes grandfather I will follow your ways and your treachings to heart including my training" Izuku responded to his grandfather until

"Izuku Where are you?" as his mother called out her son outside of the house infront of the gate.

After that Inko and Izuku waved to their grandparents including the grandparents who also waves goodbye to their daughter and grandson.

As soon as they arrive to the port with everything ready including the katana inside the bag and also inside of a box to secure as the board to a ship and sets sails back to Japan. Then in Izuku's thought to himself

'I wonder whats going on while I was away...nah who cares nobody care about me becsuse I'm quirkless and useless nobody to their eyes well I don't know how will they react to my changes after a few months with my grandparents. But in the end I'll just see it for myself' then Izuku looks at the horizon outside of the ship.
