Naruto: The Story Of Kenta

Protective Mara

Kenta woke up in his bed. The bed he slept in was at least four times his size, that's a luxury of being wealthy he guessed. He tried to sit up in bed but his body ached in pain from the training he had been doing.

Ever since Kenta had told Jun that he wanted to be treated and trained like everyone else his mentor has truly kept to his word. The training that Kenta endured wasn't only tougher than before but he was also put through more training than before as well. All he had to do was give Jun a call and he would be there, thus meaning that they've trained together everyday for the last two weeks.

This aching pain reminded Kenta of a memory with his mentor.

...

The two are on top the Hokage Monument resting after some vigorous training.

"Captain Huyushi, my body hurts all over! More than usual." said Kenta. His mentor laughed, causing Kenta to blush. He didn't think his statement was that funny.

"That's just what happens when you push your body farther than you have before. You'll get used to the pain." said Jun so smoothly. Kenta was jealous at the knowledge that Jun possessed, and Jun knew that. "Don't worry, you'll possess even more knowledge than I do one day."

"Maybe so, but I'd still like to know why my body has to endure this pain." Kenta demanded. Jun laid back and looked up at the sky, Kenta followed the action.

"Let me tell you something about pain. Pain may be your enemy today but, if you are anything like me than you will learn that pain is your friend." said Jun. This confused Kenta, what could he possibly mean by friend. "I see that you do not understand so let me further explain. In the future when you want to grow as a ninja one way you can do that is train. And like today, when you push yourself in training you will experience pain that you haven't before, this new pain reassures you that you are growing as a ninja. So in a way pain is similar to a friend that helps you grow as an individual."

"I think I get what you mean Captain Huyushi. Thank you!" Kenta jumped straight to his feet, "You know what, let's do some more training, I want to exper..." Before Kenta could finish his statement he collapsed to the ground. Jun laughed at this as well.

"You really don't know when to quit do you?" asked Jun, picking up his student, "Let's get you home."

...

"That's right!" exclaimed Kenta, jumping out of bed, "This pain isn't any fun, but I'm already above this and ready to grow even more!" He progressed to switch into hid daily clothing and walk into the kitchen where his mother was making breakfast, he could smell the delicious food from his room.

He usually would would run up to his mother and wrap his arms around her telling her how much he loved her, but with her disapproval of the recent upping in his training Kenta figured that he should sneak into the kitchen and escape with the home phone.

Just when he was about to get out of the kitchen his mother spun around to face him causing Kenta to stop in his tracks. "I'd ask you why you're going into the other room to use the phone but I already know what your answer will be." She wasn't wrong, and Kenta knew what his mother was going to say next.

"Let me tell you, there will be no training today!" exclaimed Mara. Kenta knew it, running up to his mother.

"Mom you don't understand I..." His mother placed a hand over his mouth and motioned to the kitchen table for him to take a seat. She then asked one of their maids to look after the breakfast she was preparing so she could sit with her son.

"Kenta, I don't like seeing you upset with me," Kenta was beginning to have hope, "but I would hate to see something awful happen to my only son so I'm sorry but no training today." And there went all the hope he had.

"I don't understand how you think you have the right to tell me when I've had enough training. You're not a ninja, you haven't trained at all!" Kenta exclaimed, he didn't realize how much he had just hurt his mother. But maybe this is what would show his mother that he wanted this so badly.

"Guess what, you're not a ninja either just yet. So today I'm sorry but no training." Kenta already knew that with this statement from his mother that he had lost but he wasn't about to give up so easily.

"Why?!" He asked.

"The answer is simple, just look at you!" She was referring to the bruises that were located all over his visible body. All he was wearing were his night pants.

"So what." said Kenta, keeping his head down.

"So what?" His mother changed to a motherly voice.

"Yes! So what! The more pain I feel means the more I grow..."

"And what happens when the next level of pain brings your death my son!" exclaimed Mara. Kenta didn't have a follow up to that and how could he. "Look, your father will be down here soon so why don't you go get dressed and go with him to work today."

"That could be fun!" Kenta said, sure he would rather train but at least he knew that his father would take him out on the town.
