Chapter 4 The training begins

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto seriously I don't

Seiryu woke up took a shower and got dressed to begin the new day he knew very well today was Hinata's first day of training with Genjuro. He felt a little sorry for the Hyuga heiress the man was not going to go easy on her his training was hard and strict but it was worthy Genjuro will make her stronger within the three years. He left his room and meet Genjuro who smiled at him.

"Good morning Seiryu"

"Morning sensei"

"And Hinata has she woken up?"

Seiryu gulp knowing that she was still sleeping" no….sensei she hasn't"

Genjuro's smile turn into a scowl he march to her room and open the door seeing the Hyuga sleeping.

"HINATA WAKE UP" he shouted.

"Just five more minutes' mom" Hinata mumble in her sleep.

Genjuro growl" if you won't wake up then I have no choice" he then left the room while Seiryu was scare.

"Hinata please wake up you have to" Seiryu said while shaking her up.

"One more minute mom" she said in her sleep.

Seiryu gasp seeing Genjuro standing on the door way.

(Oh no too late)

"WATER STYLE WATER MISSILE JUTSU"

A splash of cold water hit the sleeping Hinata waking her up in the process she jump from her bed and hit the floor she was trembling from the coldness of the water Genjuro came to her with a smile.

"Good morning Hinata"

"Sen……se……sensei……what's……go……going…..on?" Hinata said while trembling.



"Well I call you so you wake up but you didn't so I use a water jutsu on you it's the best way to wake sleepy heads"

Hinata sweat dropped" why...do I…feel…..like I'm still tire?"

"Well it's a little early" Genjuro said.

Hinata got up and look at the window of her room and gasp seeing that it was still night" what sensei is still dark what time is it?"

"It's three o' clock in the morning"

"WHAT" she shouted in pure shock" it's too early to train"

"We are ninjas Hinata we always have to be on our guard because without knowing you were killed in your sleep and now I'm going to lay down a very important rule in the training what I say goes you will obey me and you will listen to me no matter what are we clear?"

"Yes sensei" she said while still trembling.

"Good now the first thing you will know about our training is that I already know your two weaknesses"

"My…..weaknesses"

"Yes Hinata your insecurity and your low self esteem but don't worry I'm going to change all that I have an exercise for you Hinata from this day forward every morning you wake up right after you take a shower you will look yourself in the mirror and you will say positive things like I am Hyuga Hinata I am a strong person I am confident of myself I am not a burden to friends and so and on are we clear?"

"Yes sensei"

"Al right now go take a shower practice the mirror exercise and meet us downstairs" Genjuro said while leaving.

Seiryu went to her" don't worry Hinata you will get used to him"

Hinata sighed" I will have to get used to the fact that I have to get up so early in the morning"

Seiryu chuckle" yeah that too I'll see you downstairs" he then left.

Hinata sighed it was going to be the beginning of a hard training she went to take a shower and right after she finish she look herself in the mirror and began practicing the exercise to raise her self esteem.

"I am Hyuga Hinata I am strong I won't be burden to my friends I can do it" she smile all of the sudden she felt strong she look at the mirror with more confident attitude" I will surpass my father I will become strong and protect those precious to me I will win"



She smile to herself she felt more confident like she could do everything she change back to her ninja uniform and went downstairs, Seiryu was already eating breakfast and she got seated next to him. Genjuro serve her a plate of scramble eggs and a slice of bacon and she gladly took it she was really going to need it for her training, meanwhile Genjuro was smiling to himself.

(When I'm done with Hinata she will be so strong that she will be an S class target in every ninja's bingo book)

"I'm done sensei" Seiryu said finishing his plate.

"Good Seiryu now wash your plate you have a lot to do the Mizukage gave me a couple of missions for you they all are D rank missions"

"What D rank missions those are baby missions" Seiryu whine.

"You will take them without arguing"

"But I thought I was going to train with Hinata?"

"You will once she reach where I left with you remember that she's beginning her training however I am expecting that she will reach where I left with you in less than a year"

Hinata was surprise by his statement the same with Seiryu.

(Sensei must really believe in me to think like that) Hinata thought.

"Al right Seiryu gather your gear you will being your missions now"

"Yes sensei" Seiryu said before going upstairs.

"If you're done with breakfast Hinata let's get going"

"Yes sensei"

Genjuro put on his white cape and left the house follow by Hinata she was a little anxious to begin but a little scare knowing that the training won't be a walk in the park. They were walking the streets of the village and Hinata saw that every people that pass by them they saluted Genjuro looks like he was pretty famous in the village.

"Sensei where are we going?"

"We are going to a training ground it's pretty huge there's enough room for training"

They finally reach the training ground and Hinata was shock the training ground was even bigger than the ones they had in Konoha.

"Al right before we begin with training I want you to know that I will be giving you more than just physical training you already know about your weaknesses well you are also going to receive some 

mental training or emotional training whatever you like to call it there is no point in training to become strong if you don't have confidence in yourself so for the next three years I will training you in the art of ninjutsu and your emotions also if you progress faster than I am anticipating I might give you something especial" he finish with a smile.

"Like what?" Hinata said in curiosity.

"That is a secret I will tell you depending how much you are progressing in your training now to begin our training I need to know what kind of element is your chakra nature"

"Chakra nature?"

"Yes Hinata you do know what chakra nature is right?"

"Um…yes Kurenai sensei has told me it supposed to be the chakra of your element depending what's the element you can perform jutsu's of that element only the most skill ninjas has more than one element"

"Very good Hinata you have been doing your homework yes you're right and that's what I want to know and to figure your element we use this" he then show her a piece of white paper.

"Sensei it's just a piece of paper"

"It looks like ordinary paper but it's really chakra paper by focusing your chakra the paper will tell you which element are you if it's earth it will crumble if its fire it will burn if its wind it will be cut in half and if its water it will get wet do you understand?"

"Yes sensei"

"Good now here focus your chakra" he gave her the piece of paper.

Hinata focus her chakra into the small piece of paper until it gets wet Genjuro smile.

"Well looks like your chakra nature element is water this makes things even better this training is for you Hinata"

"Why is that?"

"Because both Seiryu and myself are water element"

"Oh that's why you and Seiryu can use water element jutsus"

"Exactly but we can also do ice jutsus"

"So you can use two elements?"

"Well not quite water and ice is the same thing they are like sister and brother ice is basically frozen water they like the two sides of the same coin they are connected"



"I get it sensei does that mean I can use ice jutsus too?"

"Yup that's why I'm going to teach you every water and ice jutsu I will also teach you some genjutsus but first I want to know how good is your taijutsu follow me Hinata"

"But sensei aren't we going to train here?"

"Not today"

Hinata nodded and follow her teacher out of the training ground, after an hour of walking the forest path of the village they arrived at a long field. Hinata knew there was something wrong because she couldn't see a single thing the mist was too thick here she activated her byakugan and she could hardly see anything.

"I'm pretty sure that you try using your byakugan Hinata but unfortunately it won't help you here" Genjuro said.

"Sensei what is this place?"

"This is the place in the entire mist village where the mist is the thickest you can't even see your own hand this is where we will practice your tiajutsu"

"But I can't see"

"Exactly I want you to try to attack me and block my attacks"

"But sensei I can't even see you"

"That's the point of the raining not to rely on your eyes I can't see you Hinata but I know exactly where you are"

"How?"

"Focus your hearing Hinata forget about your eyes they won't help you here"

She nodded and got in her gentle fist stance Genjuro was right her eyes are useless the mist was too thick it could fool the byakugan so the only thing she could do was to rely on hearing. She focus her hearing trying to hear the movements of her teacher until she heard him behind her she strike a palm thrust hitting him but he was replace by a splash of water it was a water clone jutsu. Suddenly she was push to the ground.

"Focus Hinata again"

She nodded and went back to her stance trying to hear his movements but she kept on hearing his voices it was obvious he was using water clones to make things harder she was a sitting duck because he knew where she was. She was push again to the ground she got back up and kept hearing his voice and yet she was push again this wasn't an easy training exercise. The point of the exercise is to use hearing 

to the maximum dodge all of the attacks and counter but she could tell she was surrounded by a lot of water clones she even thought that the real Genjuro might not even be here with her. She was push again and she tried to dodge all of the attacks but she was outnumbered and kept on being push, she has been in the exercise for over four hours and she was already getting tire this exercise was a real challenge. She was about to try to charge at one of the clones when Genjuro caught her wrist surprising her.

"That's enough Hinata you're tire you must be thirsty there's a river not so far from here I'll take you there"

"I'm sorry sensei I fail" Hinata said while trying to hold her tears.

"Huh what do you mean you fail this is the first time you're doing the exercise I wasn't expecting you to do it like a professional you are going to do the exercise again and again until you are the best are we clear?"

"Yes sensei"

"Let's go to the river"

Genjuro lead her away from the misty field until reaching a large river he took his canteen and refill it.

"Here Hinata drink"

Hinata drank the water and in seconds she empty the canteen.

"You really were thirsty Hinata"

"I'm sorry sensei"

"It's okay no need to apologize I'll give you more" he went to the river to refill his canteen again.

"Sensei you were using water clones to make the exercise harder"

Genjuro smirk" well of course it will be too easy if didn't use them"

"But the exercise is already hard even if it was only you"

"Hinata the point of the exercise is to use the potential of your hearing sight isn't everything you have to think yourself if you were blind and you only have to rely on your other senses and hearing is one of the fundamentals senses along with smell you have to focus your chakra on your ears and listen to every movement made"

Hinata blink" focus my chakra on myears?"

"Yeah you focus the chakra on your feet so you can walk on the water and for climbing trees so you can do the same thing with every part of your body so why does it surprise you about focusing chakra on your ears?"



"I…I guess it never occurred to me"

"Here Hinata do you want more water?"

"its okay sensei I'm fine I…..I will like to try the exercise again"

Genjuro smile" all right let's see if you learn anything"

Once again they reach the misty field Hinata went back to her gentle fist stance.

"I'm ready sensei"

"Very well"

Hinata did as Genjuro told her she focus her chakra on her ears and she could hear the footsteps of all the water clones that were about to ambush her she decided to close her eyes since there was no point in using them in this type of exercise. One water clone attack her and she mange to dodge him and counter, more clones came after her and she dodge a couple and counter but she was caught by two of them and she was send to the ground. She got back up and continued focusing her chakra on her ears she could hear more footsteps heading her way she could tell it was a lot of clones she did the first thing that went her mind she used kaiten rotation to beat all of the clones or so she thought more of them came at her and she was beaten by the remaining water clones.

Senjuro came to her with a smile" good job Hinata you are learning rather quickly"

Hinata smile" thank you sensei"

"You used your hearing well and the way you used kaiten at the right moment to beat the clones that was impressive"

"Thank you sensei"

"Now you must be hungry I'll take you to eat my treat" he took her hand to help her leave the misty field.

They have left the field and they were heading back to the village.

"Um….sensei how can you see in that filed with all the mist it will take a lot of practice to know that area well"

"You're right Hinata I have been training in that field for years so I know it pretty well"

(For years?) Hinata thought while looking at him (but sensei doesn't look that old)

She stop her thinking seeing that they enter to a restaurant they took their seats and a couple of minutes later they were greeted by a young woman who seems to be in her late teens she had long black hair and brown eyes she was wearing a waitress dress so she was an employee of the restaurant.



"Oh hello Genjurosama what can I get you?"

"Hey Subaru I want you to meet Hinata she's my new student"

"Nice to meet you Hinata I'm Subaru I work here at the boiler grill"

"It's very nice to meet you Subarusan" Hinata said while bowing.

"Please Subaru give us two curry but not too spicy"

"Coming right up" Subaru said while leaving.

"Thank you sensei for treating me to lunch"

"No problem keep improving in your training and I will keep treating you to more food"

Hinata smile while they continued waiting for the food, after fifteen minutes Subaru arrived with their plates.

"Thank you Subarusan"

"Thanks Subaru put it in my tab" Genjuro said.

Subaru nodded and left leaving the two to eat their plates Hinata of course she was hungry so she ate faster than usual Genjuro chuckle he couldn't help it if the Hyuga was hungry after over fours of training and it was just only the beginning. Hinata finish her plate with a big smile and Genjuro was also done with his plate.

"How are you feeling Hinata?"

"Like I want to continue with my training"

"Good I like your enthusiasm well let's continue but this time we are going to do a different exercise but this time it will be a lot easier than the last one"

"Really sensei"

"Yeah it's easy now come along"

They left the restaurant until they reach the gates of the village.

"So what's the exercise sensei?"

"Well Hinata one of the key elements to get strong is to increase your speed if your speed increased you can beat the enemy faster the faster you get the deadlier you become in your skills, so this is your exercise I want you to run ten laps to the mist village"

Hinata gasp" what…..ten laps to the whole village"



"Yup and if you succeed you will do twenty laps"

Hinata sweat dropped but nodded" yes sensei"

She left to begin her second exercise and Genjuro smile seeing the Hyuga leaving.

(It has been her first day training and I can sense she is getting stronger)

Hinata started running as fast as she could after she did the first lap she was tire she focus the chakra on her legs to run faster. After three hours Hinata has successfully run ten laps toe the village but she was dead tire she collapse on the ground while Genjuro went to her with a big smile.

"Good job Hinata you must be tire why don't you go to the hot baths you will feel much better"

The only thing the Hyuga heiress did was give a big relief smile.

Hinata arrived at the hot baths and she immediately took off her clothes and merge into the hot water with a huge sigh of relief she felt like melting from the relaxation it was her first day training and she already feels like she has been training for months. Seiryu did told her the training was not easy and she knew that too but she never thought it will be this tough. She sighed as she continued to enjoy the hot bath looks like she will continue to come to hot baths while she continues to train. After a few hours of relaxing in the hot baths it was night already she met up with Genjuro and he told her to call it a day so they went to his house Hinata could not be so relief but she knew tomorrow was going to be another day.

When they went arrived at the house Hinata went upstairs ignoring the fact the Genjuro was going to cook dinner Seiryu was back from doing his missions he follow her to her room.

"Hey Hinata aren't you going to wait for dinner?"

"No thanks Seiryusan I'm not hungry"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure" she then got seated on her bed.

Seiryu smirk" so Hinata how was your first day of training?" he then look at Hinata and saw that she was sleeping.

He smile looks like she was too tire from the training that she felt asleep he took the sheet and cover Hinata with it he left the room but not before taking another glance at her.

"Goodnight Hinata"
