Why?

"Gah!"

"Don't retreat you wimp!"

"How can I not when you're coming at

like that?!"

CLATTER!

"Your sword swings are too weak! Co on!"

"K-Kuh!"

Just why? What did I do in the past for

to suffer like this?!

"Footwork is completely wrong! Do you even understand the word, spacing?! Doesn't the academy teach Akido?!"

"It does! And my stance looks fine to !!"

"Then your eyesight is just as shitty!!"

When uncle Kiyoi brought

ho two days ago, I held expectations of being welcod with a normal training regi along side my mother. Ya know, the cliché kind where the student forms a new bond with their teacher, furthering the relationship between them

Sothing my mom and I could really bond over, considering I've never been too keen on learning Kenjutsu1Sword Techniquesin the first place

That was very na??ve of ...

WHACK!

"Agh!"

"And down again...should've put you through my training hell before sending you to the academy"

"What's with that awful na?! Are you trying to kill your son?!"

Why ?!

Seriously! You'd think the achievent I racked up during the siege would earn

a little praise! But as soon as I got ho, mom dragged my ass to the dojo, gave

a Bokken2Wooden practice sword used for Kendo, and proceeded to beat

up with it!

"We're not done Tai, get up!"

"Ugh...can you tell

again why we're doing this?"

Co on mom, you're supposed to be the fun parent! Or at least the one I prefer!

"Haaaa...idiot. What's your profession?"

"A-Agh! Huff...huff...! dical-nin"

"Exactly. The dic of a squad must always be the last to get injured. While it's a rule created by a Sannin3Three Legendary Ninjaof Konoha, Tsunade, it's a tactic only the foolish would ignore"

'Don't need you to tell

that mom. Pretty much everyone who's ever studied dical Ninjutsu has heard her na, what's the point of telling

now? Get to the damn point!'

If I had the courage to talk back to her like that, she'd probably kill ...

"You've picked up the sword much later than your cousins, yet your skill isn't half bad, that's proof you have talent. But without proper training, it's worthless"

"You call this...proper?"

"...Wanna get hit again?"

"Shutting up now"

Scary...!!

"dics are never supposed to get hit. Your teammates only job is to engage the enemy, the dic stays back and protects themselves. If you get hurt, it's not Rei or Suzu's fault, it's yours"

"...I know"

"Here, put these on"

"?"

Mom picked up a box she'd previously laid on the floor prior to our..."sparring". Inside was so kind of mask and...my training bracelets from sensei?

"Tango told

you purposely avoided Level 6 because their weight was too heavy. That lousy excuse won't work for "

"What do you want

to do?"

"From now on, until your departure to the Land of Earth, you'll wear these during our sessions...all of them set to max"

"Isn't this a little extre?"

"Extre is what you're gonna need if I'm to get you ready for the exams in this short span of ti!"

Crap. My arms are gonna fall off at this rate!

"I'm not teaching you fighting techniques, I'm teaching how to stay alive. Your physical condition is lagging too far behind your teammates. I'm only focusing on improving your physical capabilities and chakra reserves"

"My chakra isn't much compared to them, but overall, it's not that bad right? Besides, Rei and Suzu are completely out of the norm"

"The exam will inevitably be packed with participants who are, out of the norm! Geniuses, gifted, freaks, and all manner of abnormal shinobi are set to compete against you. I refuse to allow my own son to drag his feet!"

"Hmph...I don't drag my feet" I muttered under my breath

"There's no ti to teach you our family's techniques. All I can do, is help you establish better fundantals and improve your weak-ass stamina"

"Weak-ass"...wow
