When The Sun Shines (A Reika Namikaze Story) Book 1

13

A week after I introduced the Raptor squad to my teammates, I was still avoiding Kakashi. Just, not in the way of always going on missions as one would think. Instead, I had my dad teach me the flying raijin technique which I use to flash away anytime I sense him near.

Speaking of which, I can sense him around the corner. I made the hand signs and I flash to my next destination, the Senju compound.

"You're still avoiding him?" A familiar voice called out. I had flashed into Tobirama-sensei's kitchen area where he happens to be doing his paperwork in with a cup of coffee next to him.

I turned to him nodding my head since he had looked up when I flashed in. "Yes and I hope you don't mind me using that as an excuse to train?"

He raised a brow but said nothing. He then put the paperwork he was reading down and stood up. He turned to head for the door but stopped to give a look that said to follow.

I took a step to him and followed as he led me to the ground's training area. He walked to the center of it and turned to me. Standing a bit away from him I glanced around and noticed it was the traditional training ground similar to the Hyuga clans.

I looked to sensei as he motioned for me to sit. I comply and the training begins. I follow every command he says to do.

"Close your eyes. I want you to focus on your senses and I want you to hone in on my chakra." I use the moisture in the air and I use it to reach like a string to Tobirama-sensei. The string is blue, and I follow it to him to hear him say, "You need to tell me what it is you're doing or else there is no point to this training."

"It's blue. I honed in on my sense of touch to feel the moisture and it seems to be a blue string." I explained.

"Okay. Stand up and follow the string then." I can tell he was not expecting me to say that.

The string seems to curve to the left so I follow it, but then I feel my ears being plugged before the string jumps. Keeping my eyes closed and no longer able to hear. I do the same.

The air is less moist. Sensei's chakra had seemingly vanish telling me he had flashed somewhere. I shunshine to the rooftop and I take a breath in. I get into a stance that allows me to feel the air. One hand in front I slowly move it in one direction feeling the moisture cost the hairs on my arm.

Then the string appears, but it's a different shade of blue and it cackles like lightning. Then a firy red string shows up that seems to be on fire. So Kakashi and Obito are in the area. I move so they cannot see me as I continue to try and locate sensei's chakra.

A white string appears that seems to have steam radiating off of it. Haku is still watching and where he is Zabuza is nearby. And sure enough, a string that seems to have blood stains on it with a bit of rust appears next to the icy one.

I tilt my head to the direction it lead and notice a disturbance in the air. It's stiff like they are in shock. Well, I'd be in shock too.

A certain shade of blue flickers in my vision that I know belongs to sensei's and my head snaps in that direction.

I take a step towards the direction of it and it seemed to be extremely thin. Like he is suppressing his chakra. It's nearly invisible but I can see it. I take a step forward and cautiously follow the string. I follow it and jump down into the ground but soon I trip on a root. Grumbling under my breath, I remove my shoes going barefoot.

I stretch my toes and it was like I could suddenly sense hundreds of chakra because there were just so many strings that appeared, I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Staggering a bit, I take a breath in, calming my nerves and I focus on the one I need. It took a bit, but I was able to separate his from the rest and I follow the string. He is moving, testing my ability to its limit and I can feel myself staggering from overuse and just when I just about lost my footing, I grabbed onto the the person at the end of the string. The ear plugs are removed and I hear Tobirama-sensei say, "phenomenal job. Unlike any other sensory ability. You did great considering your age, too." He praised me.
