Hey y'all welcome to the 2nd chapter .
I might not be able to post for somedays due to my exams .
Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconvinience .
As Akihiko sat near a stream , crying , he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed. He quickly got up and saw a mysterious man, wearing a white haori , and wielding a sword.
"Who are you?" Akihiko asked, trying to hide his fear.
"My name is Genryusai Yamamoto , I am a practitioner of Zanjutsu, the sword form of Zanpakutou. And you, young one, are a soul that needs guidance." The man said in a calm voice.
"Sorry , you must have the wrong person , I have no chakra , so please find someone else . " Said Akihiko .
"No my boy , it is you whom I have been searching for , for the past 1000 years . " Said the old man .
"Wait 1000 years , how are you even alive ? "
"It is because of my zanpakutou . He doesn't want me to die until I find the perfect owner for him after me . " Said Yamamoto .
"Zanpakutou ? What's that ? "
"Well my boy , a zanpakutou is basically a long sword . But it is not like the normal long katanas you see ninjas use . A zanpakutou has 2 stages : The Shiai , and The Bankai " He said .
"A shikai is basically the first release of a zanpakutou , and the bankai is the final release " He continued .
"Wait wait wait old man.....too much information" Said Akihiko .
"Anyway , old man.......why do you think I am the perfect owner for your zan..zankaputou ?"
"Zanpakutou"
"Ya that"
"You see my boy .... every 1500 years , one ninja in all the 4 main villages : Hi no mura (Fire village) , Kaze no mura (Wind village) , Mizu no sato (Water village) and Tsuchi no mura (Earth village) are born without chakra . Instead of chakra , they are gifted with something even more stronger . "
"What is that old man ? "
"Reiatsu (Spritual pressure)"
"Huh !! Reiatsu ? What's that ? "
"Reiatsu is basically your own life force , the children born with the ability to use reiatsu are always given zanpakutou by the previous owners just like I am doing for you " Said the old man .
" I see , old man , so will you be training me to use my reiatsu ? "
"Unfortunately , my soul will immediately pass on after transferring my zanpakutou . I am sorry my boy but I can't help you "
"Then who will train me ?
"That you will have to do so yourself " Said the old man .
"EH !!! I see . "
"So young akihiko , do you accept my zanpakutou and promise me that you will always strive to bring justice to those who have wronged the world , and also pass the zanpakutou on to the next owner when the time comes ? "
"I do"
"I hereby name you the new owner of this zanpakutou" Finished the old man .
"Does this zanpakutou have a name ? " Asked Akihiko .
"Yes he does , but you have to find it yourself ." Said the old man .
Suddenly the old man glower with a blue light .
"Looks like my time has come young akihiko , remember your pledge and make sure you treat your zanpakutou with love and respect " Said the old man .
"I will old man , thank you very much for this opportunity " .
"I know you will young akihiko . You are destined to great things . Did you know , the amount of power you will have in the future will put on par with literal gods . "
"Huh !!!! really ? I will become that strong ? "
"Why don't you find out yourself young akihiko "
"Yes old man , I will . Thank you for the sword"
"You are welcome" Said the old man . After saying that , he disappeared .
"Huh , he disappeared ." Akihiko looked at the sword , which was very chipped and old "Now how do I use this ? Hmmmmm .....................wait I got it , I can go to Hiroki's dad's place "
Hiroki was one of Akihiko's best friends in the village . He and his family had emigrated from the village of Earth (Tsuchi no mura ) and made a living as blacksmiths . In fact , Hiroki's father was one of the most renowned blacksmiths in the village .
He and Akihiko had one thing in common . Their chakra pool was zilch .
"Hirokiiiiiiiiiii !!!!!! You there ? "
"What is is Akihiko , why are you shouting so much in the morning ? " said Hiroki as he came out of his house half-asleep . Hiroki was a short tan-skinned boy who was covered in grease and grime due to working at the forges all day .
"Hey Hiroki , mornin' . Can you do me a favor ? "
"What is it ? It better be important for you to wake me up like this "
"Can you repair this sword for me ? It's chipped and old but it's a really good sword , so please can you fix it for me ? "
"Sure , just give me a day . Come back tomorrow at the same time . "
"Thanks Hiroki , you are the best . "
"Whatever now get lost " Said Hiroki . Hiroki then got to work fixing the sword . Little did he know that fixing that very sword will change Akihiko's and his life forever .
And BAM !! Another chapter bites the dust .
Sorry if it sucks , I mean I am a newbie so please bear with me .
