Frozen Butterfly (Male Reader X Shinobu Kocho)

Sabito And Makomo (Chapter 8)

(Y/n) POV

(Y/n): "What the hell are you doing?!"

Unknown: "I'm trying to figure out what the hell you think your doing"

(Y/n): "What does it look like im doing? I'm trying to train and cut that damn huge ass boulder"

The man then points his wooden sword towards me and retorts

Unknown: "How long do you plan to stay with your ass planted in the grass. Take up your fighting stance, and give me your best shot."

I stand up and slowly take my fighting stance, and as he says to attack him, i grow a bit confused, all this guy has to fight me is a wooden sword, and i feel quite a bit taller then he is, as well as having more muscle mass in my longer limbs, I also have a real sword, what if i end up killing him?

(Y/n): "But... your swords just made of wood? what if it breaks and I end up hurting you?"

The masked man doesn't respond, and for a moment hes silent as he looks at then ground, then lets out a laugh thats very clearly intended to mock me

Unknown: "You? Hurting me? Thats a good one... how very thoughtful of you..."

In the blink of an eye hes right in front of me, swinging his sword before I even know it, i can barely block his strike with my black, and despite being smaller then i am, this guy is damn strong, pushing me back even

Unknown: "As if you would even be capable of giving me a single scratch, im far more powerful, and have already cut my boulder in two"

My eyes widen as I hear this. It's truly possible to cut the boulder, even though my efforts have been futile up to this point, if he can do it then so can I!

But before I get to really take in all the information the masked man gives me, he unleashes an onslaught of precise strikes, jumping around me and striking from all different angles that I just barely manage to block, at one point he pushes off my blade so hard that he is able to jump to a tree, then strike at me after pushing off the tree trunk, knocking me back and almost right back on my ass

(Y/n) (Thoughts): "How is this even possible for him to move like that? and how the hell has his sword not broken? If I tried swinging Mr. Urokodaki's wooden training swords nearly as hard as this guy dows, it would snap in two instantly!"

Before it even registers to me, right after whacking my calf on a low blow i couldn't block, the masked man appears behind me, whacking me with his wooden sword in the back of the head so hard I grow dizzy and fall flat on my face, then as I try to stand back up, he talks again.

Unknown: "You obviously haven't learned a single thing from Urokodaki, none of your training has been mastered, All you have done is go through the motions, memorizing the information, but your body doesn't understand a single thing of what it's supposed to be doing" 

I sit up and turn back to look at him, realizing something, he said Urokodaki, how does this guy know Mr. Urokodaki? I never remember seeing anyone else here at my training, But as I stand up, he continues talking so I don't get to ask

Unknown: "The hell have you been doing for the last 19 months? Every bit of Urokodaki's training must be burned into your flesh, into your whole being!"

With that, he swings his sword at me once again, and i block it just before it connects with my temple, he begins another onslaught of attacks sent at me, and I feel the dizziness still in my head, so i try to focus on my total concentration breathing, clearing up the dizziness so that I can block each hit of the several attacks the masked man sends my way, each strike getting faster and faster, but each block of mine grows faster as well, but each time I start to catch up in speed, the masked man just strikes faster and more precisely, my blocks and strikes feel so inaccurate and slow compared to what he can do with just his wooden blade.
