Bleached

Chapter 10

2 in one day? How is this possible!?

Aoji went through her regular morning routine, brush hair, brush teeth, annoy her Anbu guard, try and make a more successful Yamato statue, the usual. 

Her closet was very populated this fine morning. 

Aoji summoned up a square of wood and tried imagining Yamato's face. She was going to go for his scary face this time. She coerced Mokuton chakra into the statue, trying to will it to change into Yamato's face.

Cue potato head. 

Aoji groaned, she could never get it to be precise enough to make the face look like a normal person's. The body looked fine, but the face was all squished together and one eyes was bigger than the other and everything just looked terrifying. 

She could feel the horror in Yamato's chakra as she stuffed it among the others in her closet. He left the Anbu guard for a while after she used Mokuton for the first time, he saw the first statue, but not the 34 others. 

The rest of her Anbu guard were very amused, according to their chakra. 

Hearth had taught her a bit more on her sensing last night, allowing Aoji to sense emotions to a degree. It was actually pretty helpful, since now she could tell if one of the Anbu were annoyed enough with her bullshit to slit her throat. 

It actually turned out that most of the Anbu guard had grown fond of her. 

Maybe it was because she gifted each of them a little bonsai tree. Everyone liked bonsai trees.

She still had to give Yamato his tree.

Yamato told her yesterday that she would be starting 'missions' today. He trained her in Mokuton and started her on learning Water Style: Raging waves, a C-rank jutsu.

It was pretty great, she could blow away her enemies with her spit. Hagoromo approved. 

Aoji was slightly dreading the mountain of D-ranks Yamato was sure to throw at her. He didn't tell her about the D-ranks being basically chores, probably because he wanted to watch her suffer. 

Aoji didn't blame him, she would have done the same if they switched places. 

She kicked her boots on and opened the door. She decided to try roof jumping for the first time, they had practiced for it in the academy since it was the trademark way for ninja's to travel. 

Aoji recited the instructions in her head. 

'put a small amount of chakra in your legs to strengthen them for the jump, then release it right when you reach the next destination so you can cling to it. Repeat the process and don't forget to release your chakra! You'll go flying if you don't!' 

Iruka set up a training area and watched the kids try to jump. Half the class had managed, mostly the clan kids, but a few civilians made it.

Aoji almost blew up the tree she was training on, but thanks to Hagoromo's chakra exercises, she successfully didn't blow a hole through the tree. 

Naruto wasn't so lucky, though. He managed to chop right through the tree with his chakra. It could almost be a Ninjutsu. 

Aoji readied herself to jump onto the building, gathering chakra quickly to her legs. She sprung off the ground, and reached the roof of another building. 

She mentally cheered as Hagoromo high fived her, somehow.

She repeated the process until she reached training ground 11, the one Aoji and Yamato had pretty much claimed.
