Chapter 6: The Clan Secret
So, I've read through the ninjutsu scroll and I'm so excited to start! But, at the beginning of the first scroll, there was a jutsu that says I can walk on air! Now, you're probably thinking, you can't walk on air, but scrolls never lie! Except fake ones and this isn't fake! It will take some time though. Apparently, only my clan can perform this jutsu, and it's kind of a two in one jutsu. The scroll says that at a young age, Kitsuna clan members would release about half of their chakra into the surrounding air. But, being a Kitsuna, the chakra is recognized and kind of 'absorbed' into the air, staying there for use later. That's the best way I can describe it anyway. The chakra can obviously be manipulated by the user, meaning the user can use wind ninjutsu. This is most likely the reason why all Kitsuna are wind users. If chakra is added over the years, the user can manipulate it under their feet, enabling them to walk on air, like they're flying. The chakra can also be recalled in case of an emergency and the user is low on chakra. The scroll states that there are side effects, but doesn't say what they are. I guess no one ever used it. I guess I'll start the chakra thing then.
I walked to the lake and sat down in the lush grass. I didn't have to meet up with my team for another two hours. I put my hands together and concentrated on my chakra. I've been able to manipulate my chakra easier since the chakra control test I did a few months back. I felt my chakra running throughout my body. Slowly, I forced it through my skin, into the air surrounding me. I couldn't really feel anything, except a slight tingling. "Rei-chan, what are you doing?" I stopped the chakra flow immediately and opened my eyes in surprise. "Hi Hitoshi-sensei. I was just releasing my chakra." He seemed confused as to my explanation. "I'm aware you were releasing, but why?" "It's a clan jutsu; it'll make some jutsus easier." "Okay then, are you ready for a new mission?" He still didn't seem so sure, but changed the topic. I stood up, I was done anyway. "Depends on what kind of mission sensei." I raised a brow at him, "We're not pulling anymore weeds are we?" He laughed, "Nope, I think you'll like this one, but I'll wait to explain until the other two arrive." Now I was getting excited. Maybe we'll actually fight! We talked for a few minutes; it seems he was extra early today. Then, he stood up. "Hurry up you two, we'll be late for our first mission outside of the village." Tsubaki-chan and Hige-kun then ran over, just as excited as me. "What do we have to do on the mission sensei?" Tsubaki-chan calmly asked. She can be just as calm as Kristi-nee was. "We are to travel to a small town within fire country's borders and get rid of a small group of bandits terrorizing the locals. Bandits shouldn't be too difficult for you three to handle. I'll be there, of course, just in case something goes wrong." All three of us were shaking in excitement now; finally, we get to demonstrate what we've been training for! "When do we leave sensei?" Hige-kun asked excitedly. "Right after you pack your things. Make sure you are prepared for a week." "Hai!" Then, we were running off to our houses. We met at the gate 20 minutes later.
"Are you three ready?" Bad question. "Haaaaiiiiiiiiii!" We yelled excitedly and maybe too loudly. "Alright, you know you're going to have to be quieter on the mission, right?" We all nodded. "Alright, let's go then." We began our run to the border town.
