[MC POV]
After leaving, the classroom as me and Chikako is going to his home, someone stopped us. It was Hinari.
Hinari: "I will beat you next time."
"Okay"
She started fuming as how lightly i am taking this.
Hinari: "Don't make fun of me. We are not doing Kumite otherwise I have beat you up."
"Yes, I know."
Hinari got confused on this and Chikako start sneering via keeping hand against his mouth. After seeing Chikako sneering She got angry again, and fuming she left.
Chikako: "Troublesome. Why did you making fun of her?"
"I was not. She is Hyuga. Their taijutsu level is high. Only on base of hand to hand combat, i can't beat her. They start training in taijutsu from 4 years old. I can't compensate that kind of handwork with talent. I know I am gonna loose with hyugas against Shinboi Kumite. Its just fact."
Chikako got shocked. This is first time he listened telling me i can loose. I started laughing seeing this.
"I can't use Bokuto or Katana in Shinobi Kumite. Until our graduation."
Then it clicked to Chikako. After seeing he realized what's issue,
"I can't beat Hyugas, Inuzuka or Uchihas at taijutsu, as they start learning taijutsu since young age. Actually, they practice in their own clan's taijutsu techniques. I don't have that kind of advantages. You also has you clan's jutsus, which help you to manipulate your shadow. One kind of kekekai genkai. I don't have advantage in that parts."
Chikako: "But its not fair to you or normal civilians, right?"
"Yes its not. But it doesn't mean we can't be strong enough. I know about one genin, with civilians background, and only Taijutsu, converted Kirigakure's Seven Ninja swordsman into Three Ninja swordsman."
Chikako got shocked learning it.
Chikako: "I don't fear talented person, I fear hard worker. Without handwork, even talent gets wasted."
Chikako got silent until we reached his house.
We were greeted by his parents.
His mother got so excited about listening about our results she almost started skipping.
Chikako: "Troublesome." I started laughing seeing this.
Okako san: "Ikki, you will have dinner here tonight and take break from your training today."
"Okay Aunty." Chikako got shocked after his mother told her not to train.
"Its just for today Chikako. I am also relaxing today so lets enjoy. What do you want to do now?"
Chikako: "sleep"
"Not gonna happen."
Chikako: "Lets play Shogi then."
"You like that game huh. Lets do that then."
We started playing shogi. After sometime Chinatsu san came and sat besides us.
Chinatsu san: "So what have you decided for your vacation?"
Chikako: "I am just gonna sleep."
"We are gonna train in morning, in noon we will play shogi, and evening again training."
Chikako: "I never agreed to this."
"Aunty, Chikako will come every day in morning and evening for training with me its okay with you, right?"
I don't how but Okako san kinda teleported there. She is scary when she is excited. I can see shock on face of Chinatsu san also. He must have never seen his wife this much fast before.
Okako: "Yes, i will send him in morning and evening. Your training ground is 10, right?" I nodded. And she left.
Chikako: "Bastard, you did this knowingly."
"Yup, there was no other way for me to drag you in this. And you need to increase your level in Kenbunshoku no Haki. But I have to say my plan has gone quite smoothly. I was planning it since yesterday."
Chikako looked at me like I have betrayed him. Seeing him like this Chinatsu san started laughing this.
Chikako: "I will make you pay for this."
"Not gonna happen in this life. Hehehehe"
Bam, one shogi piece hit me on my head.
"Oy, this is shogi, not shuriken throwing exercise." I also threw shogi piece at him. Chinatsu sand seeing situation going at war, stopped us.
Chinatsu san: "Okay stop. Chikako, you have this coming. So don't be angry. Even if Ikki didn't dragged you into training, you mom would have, so give up."
Listening this Chikako's mood somewhat lighten up.
Chikako: "Troublesome"
Chinatsu san: "Hahahaha. Okay, so tell me about your plan for your training during vacation period."
