Chapter 7 - Crazy old man.

Pov Nami Kurama.

Returning home after the 2nd day of the academy, I still think about this strange Uchiha, he does not look like the usual Uchiha from the description of the father. And also, he does not look like my classmates Uchiha. Even they look at him with confusion in their eyes. For some reason he clung to me and I will not say that I am unpleasant about his attention.

Stop! You are the hope of the Kurama clan. Having awakened the kekei-genkai, I must marry within the family. With such thoughts, I went to the training ground. Where I met my sensei Fan Li san. He comes from a clan specializing in taijutsu. The Kurama clan has always been bad at this. But my mother is from the Uzumaki clan. It is easier for me than children my age in the clan. They all look sickly, even the older members, my mother and I are like white crows.

"Hello Fan-sensei."

"Hello student" He answered in a cheerful, upbeat tone.

"Today after jogging we will spar." Coming from his lips it sounded like it was the most fun thing in the world.

Not to say that I do not like taijutsu. It's just that looking at the little that my mother can do in fuinjutsu and her stories about the power of seals... Eh. Don't get me wrong, as a subject of the clan I am ready to carry out any order, but I have always been fascinated by fuinjutsu, it is also my heritage, as well as the genjutsu of the Kurama clan.

I vividly remember the only time when I turned to the elders with a request. They criticized me about learning fuinjutsu and forbade my mother to teach me fuinjutsu. I was very offended. I understand them, they want to return a small part of the heritage that they had. And their main asset does not want to follow the path that they built. It's just so offensive.

"Let's run!" Fan-sensei exclaimed, interrupting my thoughts.

On the territory of the Uchiha clan

Pov Levi Uchiha.

Today after the academy (father) was strange. He called me into his office and told me to go to an abandoned house on the Uchiha territory. At least everything was quiet at the academy. Tai didn't even speak today, and I managed to squeeze a few words out of Nami-san.

And so, approaching the house near which not even trees grow, I went onto the porch. Hearing a whistle, I instinctively jumped to the side. Where I stood, a kunai crashed into a tree.

An attack? On the territory of the Uchiha clan? (Father) exposed me? While these thoughts were spinning in my head. A huge fireball flew towards me. I won't be able to dodge this. I fold hand seals and release a fireball adding the power of the fruit to it. Even so, it is much smaller. But it gives me a second to dodge. When I jumped to the side, I immediately start looking around.

At that moment, I felt like I was hit from the side. I can't even compare it to anything, it was like hitting my little finger on a cruise liner. Having flown back and rolled on the ground for about 10 meters, I stood up with difficulty.

Then I heard another whistle. Trying to jump back, I fell on one knee, as pain pierced my left knee. This is what saved me from a direct hit with a kunai. The kunai hit the tangent and left a strong cut.

"Disappointing." I heard an old creaky voice.

"Such Uchihas these days?" The old man I met in the forest appeared in my field of vision.

"What the hell are you doing?" I hissed with venom in my voice.

"I'm teaching, now run away." What is this old man talking about? But I didn't have time to think about his words, because 20 kunai flew at me. With all the strength that was left in me, I ran into the forest.

Pov Nami Kurama.

After finishing the run, sensei and I began sparring.

He didn't hit me hard, but his constant jabs when I opened up too much were painful and offensive. The worst thing is when I repeat a mistake twice because he hits the same place he hit before. We sparred for 2 hours. I'm all tired and wet, lying on the grass and gasping for breath.

"Let's spar for another half hour." Sensei said and I almost gave up.

Almost! I can't let the clan down! I will make the Kurama clan great again! That's why I train! I said to myself and we continued sparring.

Pov Levi Uchiha

I've been running through this forest for 2 hours already! I am covered in blood and my eyes are clouded over, I can barely stand on my feet. This old man wants to kill me!

There he appears in front of me. "Hmm, I don't know why, but you weren't taught how to hide your chakra. The trick is that you simply hold your chakra in place and don't let it move through your body. The slower it moves, the harder it is to find you. If you can do this satisfactorily, I will let you go earlier and even heal you." Said this old man. His manner of speaking annoys me. He drawls his words and speaks with long pauses. Wait, why didn't they teach me such important things? I will have to ask (father). And now let's run as quickly as possible.

I feel myself stumbling and falling.

"Is that all?" I hear a familiar voice behind me.

I can't stop here ! I must become stronger than myself. I don't care about the clan, about (father), but if I don't become stronger, I will never be able to look people in the face. I won't be able to speak for myself. My will my word will belong to another person. "I will not allow this!" I shouted at the top of my voice and ran as if I had no injuries.

After three hours of hiding (Every Uchiha is taught how to stop bleeding in the field. The magnanimous old man gave me time for this.) and trying to stop the chakra, the old man stopped throwing kunai and came out from behind the tree.

"You can go home." He simply said, and he left in a shinshine.

"You won't even take me home?" I said in a voice turning into despair. So how do I get home? It seems to be in that direction.

While I was walking through the streets of the clan, everyone looked at me like a zombie, and parents covered their children with their bodies. As soon as I opened the door of the house, Naori appeared in front of me.

"What happened Levi?" She screamed in fear, but I didn't have time to answer because I passed out.

Pov Nami Kurama.

When I got home, I ate with my parents. We talked about training and the academy. I told them about that strange Uchiha, my father did not approve of this and told me to stay away from him.

I can't object to my father. My father is a complicated person. And as I understand it, he doesn't love my mother, but for some reason he married her. My mother tried to say something, but my father shut her up with a look. After saying goodbye to them, I went to bed.
