My Savior

chapter seven

"I think you enjoy my suffering." I say laying on the ground out of breath.
"Come on I know kids half your age that can do more push ups than you." Tobi says
"Yeah well that's not fair they are younger than me and have been training like this for a while." I go for another set of push ups.
"Excuses, excuses come on this is just a warm up. I still want to give a a brief lesson in taijitsu, show you some katas, and finally demonstrate how a weapon should be held thrown and cared for." Tobi yells from sitting on the boulder.
Giving a low whine I try for another push up only for my arms to shake and fall flat on my face how can someone one do this thinking to myself. Come on rina I am still young I can do this.
" I can't give up I can do this, with the power of youth!! "I yell to myself
(Somewhere in the hidden leaf village a man in green spandex sneezes only to lose a staring contest to a silver hair man.
" You win this round my hip internal rival, how about another challenge and if i don't win i will go around the village 80 times on my hands!!!"
"Hmmmm did you say something?" )
Thinking about what I just yelled I blush in embarrassment. Finishing my last push up I get up from the ground and head over to tobi only to collapse on a small boulder.
"Please don't ever say youth again." Tobi sweat drops at me. Turning red I look the other way
"You heard that?" I say shyly.
"We shinobi tend to have better hearing" he explains. That can be really useful I wonder what else can shinobi do, it was like magic to me.
"Ok so what's next sensei." I ask
"Weren't you hearing I said taijitsu, now I only be teaching you the defense position first, then move on to attack positions. I want you to do these every day until your body remembers them. I will know if you been slacking off and trust me if you think this is hard now. Imagine when I find out you have been lazy." He crosses his arms. I gulp nervously and give a salute at him,
"Alright then I won't slack off." Smiling at him
"Hnn, let's get started."
****
"Ow ,ow ,ow."
"You ok Rina?" dad asks raising a questioning brow at me as I walk into that kitchen.
" I'm just exercising to get in shape."
"But you already look fine to me." He looked at me as if I was crazy.
"It's not that I just want to take if my health serious you know. You see lady chouko gave me some ninja weapons to protect myself, but when I was practicing throwing the kunai and running I kind of over did it." I Rub my elbow giving him a a weak laugh. His eyes widened even more,
"She gave you those things is she crazy!" He glared at me then he finally sighed
" But I guess it makes sense, since I heard a lot of rumors yesterday of those men appearances." Shaking at me he looks at me,
"It did not sound pretty. I guess she has a good reason giving you those things, but I don't want you to get hurt alright shinobi weapons are dangerous."
"Yes I know, don't worry I am just practicing on my throwing, punching and running that's all. I'm also putting myself on a diet to help me gain muscle."
"Awww, but I got you some mochi your favorite." He tells me. I know I saw that earlier today only for it be an empty box and a note saying( no sweets until you have earned - sensei)still mad at him I had a  tick mark on my head for him doing that. Damm shinobi I think to myself. Shaking my head I turn back to my father,
"I know I already ate all of it, don't worry I'm not eating less it's actually the opposite. Anyways I already made food so don't wait up I'll be out there for some time. After exercising I'll be practicing on my music." Giving him a fake smile. I wish what I was doing was that easy and simple. He looked like he was about to argue but he just shakes his head and replies,
"Alright but be  careful I want you back before nightfall." Giving a tone that ment there was no room for negations.
"I already know." Giving him a kiss on the check and hug I go outside to the back. Once I was out of eyesight I ran to the field
"Dammit, dammit, dammit tobi is going to kill me." I say under my running as fast as my sore legs can take me. Once I got there out of breath I noticed he still wasn't here. Letting go a sigh of relief I put my case down and begin my stretching, after some time had pass the hair's on the back of my neck stood up. Making me feel I was being watched. Putting my guard up I continue to stretch only to have tobi come out of no where he was to fast for me to do a defense position. He kicks me under my feet making me fall on my back and points a stick inches away from my face.
" We need to work on your reflex abilities, but since you are only a beginner you did good." He steps back and held his hand out to help me stand.
"Thanks." He pulls me up
" You gave the wrong defense position for the attack I was giving. We will work on that and you sensing abilities are incredibly impressive for a civilian. I'm sure if we train them they will improve and be helpful." He explains. Dusting my shirt and pants I look up at him with a glare
"You ate my mochi !!!"
"That was for complaining yesterday I told you I didn't want to hear it. Plus they were delicious." He pats his belly gloating. Giving him an angry glare I walked away from him to finish my stretching.
"I brought you some reading material to have you get a better understanding of taijitsu and bukijutsu. I want you master one weapon besides standard shinobi weapons, but first I want you to read to understand what each weapon does."
"Bukijutsu?"
"It is weapon techniques. I want you to study that too."
Nodding at him again I finish stretching and head over to the edge of the field to begin my "warm ups" as tobi calls it.
***
"Now you have to remember to move your wrist" Tobi explains as he threw the rock hitting the x mark on the bamboo.
"Why don't you give me real kunai." I say looking at the pebbles in my hands.
"You have to learn with these until I can get some wooden kunai and shuriken for you since you can hurt yourself with the real thing."
"I guess that makes sense, but I can handle myself it's just throwing practice." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Yes, but I don't want to waste my good kunai on you." Glaring at him he has been insulting me all day and I angrily threw the stupid pebble to the tree to actually hit the bamboo. My eyes widen and threw another one only to miss but was closer to the bamboo then the ones I threw before. Smiling I turned to tobi
"About time you get angry you are a hard person to angry. That's a good thing in battle to never let your emotions get the best of you."
"So this whole time you where messing with me." I asked in disbelief
"Yes, Think of it as training, also it keeps myself entertained. This is first year academy training. You learn to control your emotions more I get entertainment it's a win win situation." He shrugs his shoulders. My eye starts to twitch I inhaled and exhaled picking up a pebble I aim and throw only to miss again.
"After you are finished with that pile of pebbles I want you to stretch again and study the scrolls I gave you."
Nodding him letting him know I heard him and kept throwing at the target.
"How long have you been training?" I ask him
"For a long time." I stopped and turned my head toward him.
"You didn't answer my question." He then points to the target noticing I stopped. Picking up another pebble I take aim at the target.
"Yes I did you asked how long and answered a long time." The pebble hit the tree only to miss the target by a couple of inches. Grunting I picked up another pebble,
"But you are not specific." Taking aim and actually hitting the target. Smiling to myself i pick up the rest of the pebbles in my hands.
"That's the point, a shinobi never gives info of himself. Mystery is a trump card to us, the less the enemies know about our abilities the better."
"Ah I get it. But why with me." I almost hit the target again.
"You are a civilian that's why, it is best you don't tell anyone about our arrangement. Since people can target you, hold you captive and torture you for information about me." I stop at mid throw. I look at him with wide eyes, so that's why Manami's date was so boring and never said anything about him. He was trying to protect her. I guess he wasn't such a jerk after all. I got back to throwing,
"So that's why you don't reveal that much about your self to me."
"Yes, the less you know the better."  Finishing the last throw I hit the target. Smiling I roll my arm back and begin my stretching again. 
"Hmm, you hit one more pebble to the target then yesterday. I guess that will have to to for now.  Also I would be leaving the town for some time." I look up at him quickly, but before I can say anything he put his hand up,
"I will be back I just dont know when. Just because I am not here that it allows you to slack off. I still want you to keep doing the exercises every 6 days of the week. Once your body gets use to it I want you to add 5 laps around the field and 20 push ups, crunches, squats. Also study and have 3 weapons in mind that you want to master, I will choose the one that best fits you."
Nodding at him I get up and bow to him
"Thank you sensei."
"Alright you are done for today. Do what I say and I will be testing you when I come back." With that he disappears into the forest. I look to the sky and see that it was probably late afternoon I head towards the boulders and pick up the scrolls he left for me to study one fell down and rolled in between two boulders.
"Shit" putting down the rest of the scrolls I put my arm in between the two boulders and pull out a scroll. It wasn't the right scroll it was blue scroll. Curious I roll it open and it said "medical ninjutsu."
