clashing sounds could be heard in a training ground.
a girl could be seen sweating and breathing heavily with a gunbai in her hands and some senbon where piercing her body
not far away from her, stood a man with
arms crossed and senbon on his mouth, observing her silently
"you have improved in the past months yumiko" said the man, genma with a smile planted in his face, as he patted her head proudly
he really admire the determined girl in front of him, she asked him to not hold back when they were training
what surprised him more was her choice of weapon.
she used gunbai as her weapon, and it helped more since she have wind affinity.
in the end he was thankful for accepting her as his student.
the past missions made him see her performance and realise that she is indeed a prodigy
he know she is nowhere near the level of kakashi and itachi when they were her age, but still, she is a prodigy in her generation.
yumiko narrowed her eyes at him and grumble "sensei, although my gunbai is bigger then your senbon, adding my wind nature, you still could hit me eight times in different pressure points... just what are you? a monster!?"
he laughed at her remark and answered "did you forget that I am a special jōnin? don't underestimate your sensei"
he smacked her head hard, and she groan in pain "plus the last times, you got hit more then twenty senbon...now let's go to the hospital. you're not willing to let the senbon there, are you?"
she huffed in annoyance but nodded her head nonetheless
this past months she became familiar with genma
...and the hospital staff since she come here after very training session and rarely after missions
since most of the missions are D rank, that made her chase after a cat, or babysitting...she didn't even have her first kill! not that that she want to... but thinking about it made her anxious. so better doing it quickly...and get used to it
the good news is
after graduating they gave her a small apartment, since she is officially a ninja, and staying in the orphanage will shorten her progress
and now she is nine years old
exactly three year for the plot to begin.
she didn't put too much thoughts since she isn't willing to interfere
and if she intend to change the plot, then saving haku and kimimaru will be her priority
they were her favorite characters after all, but savings kimimaru is nearly impossible, because he is already sick. and his royalty to the pedosnake is Unbreakable
but there's still hope for haku
putting that in mind she decided that doing the chunin exam early is a must
so that she would be able to choose her own solo mission after becoming a chunin, and be free from her sensei
let's let that talk for another day, and focus in her present life;
she became reading buddies with kakashi
with him reading his porn and her reading scrolls
they didn't talk much, and if they did he would ask her about missions and her improvement in training. and she would talk about differents topic about food and sometimes training. because she wont miss the opportunity to take every information from experienced jōnin.
her ninja life isn't as stressing as she thought
at least for now.
after treating her wounds in the hospital she got back to her apartment and ate instant ramen
that was all her routine for the past months
the next chunin exam is held in the cloud village, and genma gave her freedom of choosing whether do it now or not
he think she is ready
if she agree, they would place her in a team, since there must have a team of three in chunin exams
now it's all up to her.
