One More Chance Given(naruto)

Ch-32 Secret Technique-01

Danzo spoke again "Hokage of earth and water village had a secret meeting. And we believe that sand and lightning also getting too close."

Another consultant from Senju Clan sighed "will it really be another war?"

Silence descended..

Third Hokage asked "is there anything else important left to discuss?"

Dark captain who standing beside hokage spoke "Sir, there is news from Hidden Country of Rain. A new powerful assassin named Hanzo has emerged."

Everybody raised their head as if it was important enough to discuss at this meeting.

Dark captain quickly explained "we have reason to believe that he has surpassed power of elite ninja and nearly equal to hokage level. But the major reason for concern is that he has overcome all his political adversaries and become supreme leader."

"Small country which always remain chaotic because of war refugees but now gaining stability. Under his leadership, this country has already gaining momentum and potential to become powerful enough to rival five ninja villages."

After listening everybody got a little alert but still have some skeptic about this news.

After few seconds,Danzo spoke "this world cannot accommodate sixth ninja village."

Everyone including Hokage nodded slightly as if this was the truth.

---------------

It is already third day. I first tried to scan inner working of fourth brother because he was considered genius. He has already surpassed second and third disciple. His power is only second to big brother.

But I was disappointed. I didn't find any secret breathing technique in his body. I found only his chakra route but it is useless to me.

I didn't give up but started scanning second and third brother but it was the same result.

Then, I thought may be Sensei didn't teach them or because they already have chakra in their body so breathing method doesn't make sense.

So, I started to approach big brother. Although it was difficult because he always practiced alone but I still managed to find excuses to approach him. Strange thing is, I still didn't find any secret breathing technique in his body.

It's been three days. I am starting to feel very confused. Did all my speculation about secret technique wrong. Is there really no secret technique? Then how could big brother's physical prowess be so big.

I walked back and forth then I found the courage to go to fourth brother.

I managed to maintain my facial expression as casual. I asked "fourth brother, you have chakra in your body but big brother don't. So, why didn't teacher let you remain on ancient path."

Fourth brother recalled "Sensei said, path is irrelevant but intentions makes us real samurai."

I guided the topic "So, in future you will become more powerful than big brother because you have practiced chakra as well as ancient technique."

Fourth brother gave answer immediately "Probably not, I heard until you have achieved some kendo sentiments only than you can train your body. But teacher said that it is very dangerous to practice the ancient way. So probably, I will never practice it."

I explored further "does it mean that big brother has already achieved some kendo sentiments? And he started ancient kendo technique. That's why his physical prowess is so high."

Suddenly, fourth brother got stunned. He turned and looked at me. He laughed lightly "if you are asking how to improve physical prowess than you might be disappointed. Teacher's technique only work for those who have kendo sentiments and also it is very dangerous that's why teacher never taught us."

When I heard this sentence, I got embarrassed by being caught.

I faked the cough "cough.. cough" but I still asked further "but I have never seen big brother practiced the secret technique."

He looked amused. He started shaking his head "give it up, Kouske. Although, you have good swordsmanship but it's a pity that you are not a real samurai. For you as a warrior, it will be very difficult to feel kendo."

He got up. He said "come, I will show you something."

He led me to the area where big brother is practicing. We both stopped a little far from big brother and started looking at him. He asked to me "What do you see?"

I saw big brother was holding a sword in a cutting position. He was standing motionless but sweat was dripping from his cloths. It was as if he was concentrating on something.

I have seen this scene countless times in past two years but I never got a clue. I also tried to do this pose but I didn't feel any benefit.

I looked puzzled at fourth brother.

He said "See, you didn't feel anything. He is sharpening kendo. I asked big brother when I was little."

"He said that he was trying to feel epiphany. At that time, he could do it once in one month. But now he can do it once in a day."

I asked "what is epiphany?"

He said "I don't know. But I know that during epiphany it feels that you could crush the whole world."

Then we both moved back.

Next Day.....

I was waiting near big brother's practice place.

Then, I heard footstep. Big brother asked "what are you doing?"

I said "I want to train with big brother."

Big brother looked at me for few seconds then nodded "okay".

Then he started to pose like everyday. I moved 4 meters away from him so that I could perceive all the things inside his body.

1 hour passed..two three..four hours passed.

Somewhere in dinning hall in dojo. Second brother asked "fourth, what happened to Kouske?"

Fourth smiled then shook his head slowly "yesterday, he was asking indirectly about Sensei's secret technique."

"I think he is trying to steal it." then fourth started laughing.

Second and third also got stunned then started laughing.

Third said amusingly, "I always felt pity for big brother for practicing alone. It's been years. Ancient way is really very hard. Now, atleast someone could accompany him for some time."

Time passed...

It is already evening. You could see two people sweating all over the body. But none of them moved a little.

Suddenly, in kouske's perception something invisible started to move towards the big brother. He could feel that an extremely powerful force is coming to his body.

Kouske felt so dangerous that his whole body got stunned. His thinking stopped for few seconds.
