Chapter 11
Kisaru's P.O.V
I don't know why but I suddenly fall to my knees just after I defeated Neji. I cough a few times then try to relax my breathing. It felt like my air passages are swelling. I took three small breaths in, hold it for a few seconds then let it out. I kept repeating this process then regain my posture. Tenten and Lee quickly rush over to Neji's side then helped him up. Neji coughed out a bit of blood. Lee and Tenten were able to help him up but he was still a bit shaky from the impact. "That went well..." I mumbled to myself. I walk over and said, "Alright, 10 minute break then I'll teach you guys something cool,". I smiled at them then they answered, "Hai, Kisaru-sensei,".
I was surprised that even during their break, they were still sparring with each other. "Alright, break time's over," I said. Tenten and Lee were really excited on what I'll be teaching them. "Alright, since I am not familliar with your elements, I shall be teaching an ANBU-ranked taijutsu move called the Flip-Break lock," I said as I took my fighting stance. I faced the dummy, jumped and wrapped my feet around it's neck and broke it's head off in one swift movement. I landed perfectly on my feet. They were starring at the dummy with opened mouths. "Be careful, this technique can break a person's neck". "Ok, the technique is that once you jump, you try your best to get a good grip on your opponent's neck and as you land on the floor, you drag you neck with them," I said. "If you're left handed, make sure that the top portion of your foot is placed firmly on your opponent's nape. And the other foot below his chin,". They kept doing it for the rest of the day as I supervised their training.
By the end of the day, all three of them fall to the floor saying that they were tired, their feet hurt and all that. "You'll get used to it if you keep on practicing it ," I said, trying to encourage them. I dismissed them then I headed home. One my way home, I bumped into Gai-san with a few other kids. "Oh, Kisaru! How was the training session today? Were my students dashingly diligent?! What did you teach them?!" he asked me in an eager tone. "Oh, our training session was perfectly fine! I taught them a basic ANBU-ranked taijutsu technique and they all picked up the movement at once but they still need practice on it." I told him with a smile on my face. "Sensei, who is this girl?" a guy asked with an eased expression and with his hands behind his head. "Oh, this is the person that is temporarily looking after my cute team, Kisaru Susho. And she is also Konoha's ANBU captain," he boasts. The girl suddenly flashes in front of me and exclaims, "ANBU CAPTAIN KISARU SUSHO?! Hi, I'm Ayami Kuroteki! I am your biggest fan! I idolize you! And I just really wanna thank you so much for saving my parents during that ambush!". "Aya, yah know her?" another guy asked. "Yeah! She saved my parents from an ambush when I was still in the academy! I watched her kick those rain village ninja's butts and she was SO FRICKING AWESOME!" she exclaimed again. "Thank you," I told her with a smile on my face. "Alright, Ayami, let's get going. Kisaru must be tired from her training session with my adorable team," said Gai-san with a smirk. "Eh?! Kisaru-sempai is training your team?! AAAWWWW! Unfair! I wanted Kisaru-sempai to train this team," that Ayami girl said with a pout. I waved good-bye to them as I walked home.
Once I got home, I could already smell the tonkatsu that Nanami-nee was making. I opened the door and saw Onii-sama reading a book, as usual, and Nanami-nee cooking dinner. "So who'd yah go out with today, Kisaru?" Onii-sama asked me, looking up from his book. "No one, Onii-sama. I had a training session with my temporary team as their captain" I said with a smile. "Nice, Kisaru! So what team and who are your team mates?" Nanami-nee asked as she finished cooking. "Team Gai. And its team members are Tenten, Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga," I said as I sat down at the dinner table. "That hyuga kid again, huh?" Onii-sama said as he also sat at the dinner table. Nanami-nee placed a bowl in front of me, Onii-sama and herself as she said, "So how was the training session today? What did you teach them?". "I taught them the Flip-break lock," I said as i started eating. ""Don't you think that's a little too advanced for them? I mean, they're only chuunin and one jounin," Onii-sama said with a mouthful of noodles. "Eh, they'll get used to it sooner or later," I said also with a mouthful of noodles. "Guys, watch your manners," Nanami-nee scolded us. Onii-sama and I swallow the noodles and said 'sorry'. We ate out dinner then headed to bed.
*~THE NEXT MORNING~*
I woke up early because I felt my tattoo burning. I got up, put on my ANBU gear and headed to the Hokage building. "Good morning, Mother. What is my mission today?" I asked her as I entered the room. "Kisaru, I need you to go on an S-rank mission. I've been sent a letter from the Sand Village that there is a rouge ninja abducting, raping and killing women from that village. And I want you to find out who he is and bring him to justice." she said. "Yes, mother," I said as I was about to head for the gate. "Wait," she stopped me. "I want you to take Neji Hyuga with you," she said.
