One More Chance Given(naruto)

Ch-37 Challenge from another Dojo

I sensed increased in concentration of energy.

But after a few seconds my mental energy got drained.

I opened my eyes half exhausted and half excited. I was slightly panting this time. I sat for meditation again to normalize my breathing.

After some time, I concluded that my mental power is not sufficient. To maintain that vibrating posture as well as sense the surrounding is too difficult.

-------

Next morning, in the Dojo. I was sitting in front of the class. Students were doing their home work.

I decided to focus for few days doing only vibrating exercise.

In the evening, I again started sensing particle only around tip of my finger.

After 5 min. , I quickly transferred part of my attention in vibrating the finger. I watched the Ether particle but there was no movement.

After almost 30 seconds, I found some rhythm. Particle started to move but they were moving very slowly. I again tried to increase the frequency but it started to take toll on my mental power.

Particle also started to concentrate around my finger with a little more speed. But it is not enough. Before I could do anything, I felt exhausted.

-------

Time passed...

It has become daily routine for me to sense this special energy and achieve that perfect level of vibration.

It's almost two months since I started second stage of ancient technique. When I first sensed the Ether, I thought I was just a step away from becoming powerful but now I realized that anything is not easy.

But I haven't slacked a single day.

Although, I didn't succeed in ancient technique but my mental power has changed. It has already crossed the 6.5meters.

Also, now I can sense energy in just 3 minutes. It is a major improvement because now I have more time to concentrate on vibration. Now, with sensing + vibration, I can maintain this posture for about 2 minutes.

...........

Today, I have almost succeeded but I didn't want to.

Lately, I have fear that if I started absorbing this energy then I will not be able to cut of the connection.

This the main reason for delaying the absorption.

I want to have enough mental strength after second stage so that I will be able to cut off connection with Ether energy.

So, I have decided to wait for 1 more month.

---------

After teaching children, I went strolling around dojo but I heard commotion at the door.

When I went there, I saw two people standing outside of dojo. One was around 25 year old and other was around 19 year old.

From the looks of it, I knew what they want to do. In every few months, there are some people who comes to challenge disciple at dojo.

And you can identify these people at a glance. I went to gate with a smile.

Few small students were also present.

I greeted them "Hello, how may I help you?"

Younger samurai spoke "We have come here for practice duel. We just recently opened a new dojo. We teach the 'new samurai' way."

I asked with a smile "Have you visited any other dojo?"

He said proudly "No, our master told us to visit this dojo first."

The way he said it, It somehow irked me. His tone felt like he was demeaning the dojo.

But at the same time, I felt amused. Because no sane person would disrespect this dojo whose master is such a strong person. Atleast, I always felt equal pressure from Sensei as I felt from third hokage.

He continued "My brother here got 16th rank in last competition."

This time, I was amazed. Because any rank in competition means that you have outclassed everyone in whole Iron Country.

I expanded my sensing range. I found that he does have huge chakra. Atleast elite or super elite ninja level.

I again threw my perception on younger samurai's body. I got surprised that he also have significant amount of chakra.

I asked "will you both be challenging?"

He said "yes".

But I still didn't like the guy. Although, I wasn't able to become disciple of Sensei but being here in dojo taught me too much. I somehow got attached to it. And this is the first time I realized that I felt little angry just because of his tone.

I moved forward and asked with a polite smile "would you mind teaching me a few strokes. I want see the 'New Samurai way'? "

He was hesitating but I quickly added "I would be very greatful. Please if you could."

He nodded. I had a huge grin on my face.

We both moved to inner area. It's been almost 4 months since I last fought. My perception has changed. Now i can be like white eye clan and almost already predict the next move of my opponent.

Chakra movement tells you a lot.

Meanwhile, 2nd,3rd and fourth brother also came. A few small students of 8-9 years old were whispering.

One boy said "why Kouske sensei is fighting?"

Other said"yeah, Kouske sensei is so weak. Will he loose."

First boy lamenting again "Probably, I always watched Kouske sensei lose against other disciples at dojo."

other said "yeah, he is weak that's why he couldn't become official disciple at the dojo."

All other students nodded also.

On the stage, I felt embarrassed. These little bastards don't know that high ranking people could hear their whispering. Also, I couldn't explain to them that disciple in this dojo are all hidden monsters. Of course, I would always loose to them.

But opponent on the opposite side of me, his attitude changed when he knew that I wasn't even a disciple at this dojo.

I didn't delayed further. I moved and clashed with him.
