Naruto: The Legend Of Astora

Part 1 Chapter 10: Water Walking

Over the next few days we slowly mastered water walking. When Hayate sensei wanted to sparr with us Naruto immediatly said yes. So did i sense i knew we werent getting out of it. Yuri just said yes. When we did i was the only one to forget i can walk on verticle surfaces consistantly. Naruto did twice, but i did seven times. Hayate made me practice it even more after that while Yuri wached in morbid ammusment.

Hayate then told us to meet him at the village gate so we could practice water walking at kohaku river. When we got there i knew i was going home wet. Alright. Cough. Water walking is simular to tree walking, you just have to constantly fluctuate your chakra. Hayate sensei said. He then walked on water with a bored expression. Naruto then did what he did a few days ago and ran into the river. He got three steps then he fell. C-cold. Naruto said walking out. Is it to late say im scared of the ocean? I said. Well you better get this down first try then. Hayate sensei said with an evil smile.

I did not qant to fall in. I was fuvking scared. I put one foot on the water and it stated, and another, and another. Pretty soon i was in the middle of the water. I didnt dare look up i just focused on my chakra control. I was the first to get it down, simply because i was too scared to mess up. Yuri was trying her best kept falling in. Naruto was doing a little worse. When i got back to land Hayate sensei said go back. But i did it! I said. You. Cough. Have to be able to do it without focusing on it. It should be second nature to you. He said.

I was so scared but did it anyway. My chest was pounding. I tried to do it without thinking and immediatly fell in. When i did i whent straight to the bottom of the river. I couldnt swim, plus i was panicking. Even if i wasnt panicking, i still didnt know how to swim. I sank to the bottom loosing air. Then i saw my sister coming down for me. She picked me up and i clung on to her. Pretty soon we were on land and i was shaking. Yuri just whent back to water walking. I got up to, still shaking. I tried to walk on water again and got three steps... then fell in again. Luckily Naruto caught me and pulled me back too shore.

We repeated this process for a few hours. I was able to stay on the water for about ten minutes before i fell in, Yuri could do it for twelve minutes, and Naruto could do it for eight minutes. Hayate sensei let us have a break. I was sitting under a tree trying to calm down. Wow sora i didnt know you were that scared of water. Naruto said. Im scared of  drowning and whats in the water, not the water itself. I said. Oh, that makes sense. Naruto said scratching his head. What are your fears? I asked him. Loosing my friends. He said. Thats why were friends. I said with a smile.

What are your fears Yuri? Naruto asked my sister. I have none. She said. Shes scared of heights and rats. I said. Sora!! She yelled at me. Naruto just laughed. We sat and talked for a little bit, untill our break was over. When we were on the water Hayate sensei told us to run. I hated this man now. Naruto ran with the speed of the yondaim, Yuri was running, and i was jogging. Water walking was hard to do. You have to pump chakra into your feet, not too much or too little, and then you have to constantly fluctiuate your chakra. AND ON WATER BY THE WA-. Run faster. Cough. Hayate sense said to me. Curse you. I thought.

Hayate sensei told us we better have it down by the end of the week or els he'll make us do tgings we hate. Me swim, Yuri take care of rats, and Naruto... not eat ramen. So the steaks were high in my opinion. Suprisingly Naruto had gotten it down two days before the deadline. I was jealous because i wanted to stop. Yuri got it down before my as well, the next day. I was panicking now. If i dont get it down by tomorrow we are all screwed. The pure pressure was on full blast now.

Yuri said she'll destroy my sketchbooks if i didnt do it in time. Naruto cheered me on, but i could tell he would do sotheing worse if i failed. Traitors. I thought. Hayate sensei also had an evil smile, watching me try and fail again, and again, and again, and agin. I hate this. I thought. My precious sketchbooks. Burned to ash. I thought. Fourtanatly i was able to do it with five minutes left.
