Hakuna Matata Ninja (Complete)

Ch 9-I will become Stronger!

I breathed heavily as I slammed into the ground again. Gritting my teeth I stood up. Shishou ran over to me and aimed another punch at my stomach. I moved out of the way, but I wasn't quick enough and was nicked in the side, making me slide backwards a few feet.

She stopped, "I think that's enough for the day."

What?! I can still fight! "No! I want to train and become stronger!" She walked over to me and flicked me on the forehead, and I glared at her.

"It's enough for today, gaki. You need to learn discipline too. And one thing you definitely need to know is when to stop. Training any more today will stress out your muscles and hurt you more in the long run rather than help." I huffed and was about to walk away before she grabbed my collar and pulled it down.

"I thought as much." She murmured sadly. I gritted my teeth as she hugged me, trying to stop the tears that wanted to come out.

"Why didn't you tell me? Do you not trust me? I was marked too you know." My eyes widened as I broke free of her hold and spun around to see her showing me the mark that resided on her own neck.

"How do you deal with it? It hurts so much when I try to use chakra now..." I say angrily. I'm not angry at her, I'm angry at myself, at Orochimaru, at that creature that I realized was supposed to be me.

"... The only thing you can do is survive through it. Reject the power, and eventually the grip it has will lessen on you. Eventually every time you use chakra, you will only feel a little bit of pain by not using the curse mark with your chakra." I nodded in reluctant acceptance. A sudden thought occurred to me though.

"Shishou... What kind of jutsu is the cursed mark exactly...?"

"Hm? It's kind of an ancient art. Not many people use it anymore. It's called Fuinjutsu."
She said to me, sounding a bit angry. I wonder why, but I also have some assumptions.

"Sealing Arts, huh? Fine. I'll just have to become a master and remove our seals!" Her eyes widened and she looked at me like I was crazy. I smirked at her, determination clear in my eyes. I would free my Shishou... I will get rid of that curse mark!

"Don't believe me? Just wait and see!" I jerked my thumb to my chest. "I'll become the greatest Fuinjutsu master the world has ever seen!"

She let out a chuckle. "I'll hold you to that. Shiro Uchiha. You are different from the others... Just like Itachi was." She may have said it under her breath... But I heard her. I believe my brother to be a hero. I don't like that he murdered our clan. But... I could never call them family, except for my brothers and my mother.

Now my family is my brother and Shishou. And I have to do everything I can to protect them!

I started my katas with renewed vigor and set my sights to becoming stronger. My tai jutsu style is the Raven. I call it that anyways in honor of my brothers, Itachi and Sasuke. It relies heavily based on the legs to do the offense, counter attacks, and defense. If it can't be avoided then, the arms are always open to defend.

"Hey, it's almost time for the preliminaries to start, Raven boy, comeon!"
