The rest of the gym training passed by with Aki sparred with Nejire. The girl has a surprise amount of stamina to use for her Quirk, but Aki vigorous trainings with Wolf proved to Nejire that he was a formidable foe. However, Nejire's fluency in air combat was too hard for Aki as the young Shinobi had a hard time close up the gap between the two to actually deal some serious hit to her, thus resulting in his defeat.

'I really need to find a way to deal with flying type enemies.... Is there like an Anti-Air Combat style?'

Currently, Aki was standing inside an abandoned building that he occasionally used to practice. After bidding farewell to his classmates and Nejire, instead of going home, he took his bokken (wooden sword) here, trying to come up with something new.

'High Monk might prove effective against enemies who jumped, not the ones maneuver around constantly. Most of it hits on the ground targets anyway. Besides, its telegraph is too easy to read for a surprise attack.....'

'Shadowrush needs a platform for me to launch myself on the air, but I'm vulnerable on the way down.'

He shook the thoughts in mind away and positioned himself to face the dummy. The only solution he can find now is trying to defend himself after jumping with Shadowrush. Pulling his sword back, Aki launched towards it with a slide, stepping on the dummy and jumped. As soon as he felt that gravity was pulling him down, he threw Firecrackers on the air, landed with one foot on the ground before spinning a Whirlwind Slash.

"Hoh, a shinobi prosthetic.... this was once..... Curious device you have there..."

A low deep voice mumbled loud enough that Aki could heard it. Turning his attention to the direction of the voice at the entrance behind him, Aki saw a large old man with white beard and long, braided hair that reached until his ankles. He was wearing the same outfit Wolf-sensei always wear, only this one was green and has feather as shoulder pad. The man cold, hollow gaze sent a small shiver down Aki's spine. One look and Aki immediately understood.

This man is extremely dangerous.

The stare-off between the two broken as soon as the man let out a loud, amusing laugh that only made Aki felt more threatened as he was looking for an escape.

"A young Shinobi.... at this day and age. This is quite a turn of event."

He stopped laughing, drawn his sword and pointed it at Aki.

"Who is your master, boy? Not many people know my technique well enough to pass it down to someone else, after all."

As an instinct, Aki got into his defense stance.

"Who are you?"

"Someone you wouldn't want to fight. Now, answer my question."

The killing aura that the man produced was suffocating. He was right. Aki does not want this fight. Decided to take a risk, Aki threw Firecracker at the man and made a run to a nearby window.

His escape was a total failure. As soon as the smoke started to fade, the old man threw 5 shurikens at the same time at Aki's direction, but didn't aim at him. 5 shurikens stuck in the wall in front of him made Aki knew that this is a warning shot. The man could kill him any moment he wants.

He decided to get as much information as he could. "You said that you invented Shadowrush?"

"I invented a different technique, but Shadowrush is a simpler version of it. Whoever your master is, he learnt it from me. His name. Now."

"I haven't introduced. Mochizuki Aki."

"Stalling for information? Smart."

The man drew his oversized katana backwards.
