Training with Itachi

We arrived at this very open grassy area the place was sunny and there was a lake to the side. The grass reached up to my ankle so it wasn't very high and then Itachi started to attack me. What the? What is he doing? I jumped out of the way and turned to face him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm seeing what you already know so I don't have to teach you the same boring stuff" was what he said before he jumped over me.

He then went directly towards me and I again jumped out of the way then I instinctively kicked Itachi upwards and held him so he wouldn't do anything then I kicked him down to the ground. Once we were on the ground I saw that there was a big space that he had left when he hit the hard ground. Suddenly Itachi burst into a puff of smoke. So it was a clone huh? I looked to my sides then up to the sky nothing that means he's probably coming at me from the bottom. I leaped up and out of the way and sure enough Itachi burst out of the ground.

"So you know the basics huh?"

"Yeah that's why I graduated isn't it?" I asked in a duh voice

"Right so then have you learned the fire ball jutsu yet?"

"Not entirely but I can sort of" I did the hand seals and then I burst out a ball of flame.

"Good so I don't need to teach you that so let's get to the real training. And maybe if you improve greatly I'll teach you Ameterasu"

"What's that?"

"In a shorter version it's a black fire that can consume anything in its path"

"Oh" Oh my god that is awesome I can't wait

So we left the open area and we stopped at a huge tall mountain that had a huge boulder blocking the entrance, so Itachi did some hand signs and the boulder started to shake and it shifted to the side he motioned for me to follow him into the mountain and I did. We entered the mountainside then he opened a part of the ground that led to a tunnel. We stepped inside the tunnel and you could instantly feel that the ground wasn't made of dirt anymore, but instead it was made of cement. We followed the lights that were hung at the side and then we shortly entered a big room with a whole bunch of equipment. There were axes that hung from the ceiling and then there was these devices that once turned on would shoot kunais and shurikens all over the place. After that there was a place with drains so I'm guessing the thing there has to with water. So the obstacle continued ending at very distant far end.

"Well I got the thing to start working again" Itachi murmured "You're going to have to go through this obstacle course, as time goes on I'm going to make it harder until the machine can't make it any harder for now we'll start with the basics"

"Ugh I hate basics!" I said sort of whining which isn't like me at all

"Anyways, here I'll put it to easy mode"

I got through the course that Itachi told me to go through pretty easily and without a scratch.

"So maybe we should skip easy and go to hard mode" he skipped easy and intermediate and went to hard mode which actually was a challenge not to mention that this was the easiest of the four hard modes. There was hard mode, then harder mode then extremely difficult then akatsuki level difficulty. "Now go!"

With that I leapt towards the beginning, and the first part I entered was a forest it was dark and I had to follow this small yellow firefly like thing it was small and if you lost track of it you'd probably stay lost forever. I followed it but then the two axes, the ones I told you about earlier swung right by I only had enough time to jump backwards, and yet I wasn't all that lucky like I was before because my right leg got cut badly so I stopped making sure I had waited for the things to swing by again. In the meantime I was bandaging my leg where it was bleeding badly, but I don't care if it hurts, as long as this makes me stronger. I have to forget the pain and continue. That's when the axes swung by again I instantly jumped right after they had swung in order to not get hit like I did last time. Now where's that yellow firefly?

I kept jumping through the forest and got knocked off the branch by a metallic robot thing. Why I now? I have to find the firefly thing. I guess I'll have to defeat this thing before I can move on. I got of the ground and I took out a kunai. I threw it at the robot thing, but it dodged it and I discovered it could fly so in that case I can't throw stuff at it or else it will keep dodging I need a better way to hit it. I jumped up to a nearby branch and waited for it to attack, but it wouldn't come any closer to me, then it suddenly opened its mouth and it threw shurikens directly at me. I managed to dodge most of them but I still got hit. Man I am terrible, I get hit by everything that has been thrown at me and I haven't been able to completely dodge anything. So I guess I have to pay more attention to my surroundings.

I activated my sharingan and went straight for the robot, but just right before it could hit me I grabbed a branch that was overhead. I swung hitting the robot right smack in the face. It went flying towards a tree that was there making an indent in the tree and causing pieces of bark to fly off. It was still alive and it grabbed both sides of the tree and pushed itself out. It started to move again, but it got roasted when I performed the fireball jutsu strangely this time I think the fireball was bigger. So since it got fried it fell to the ground and I continued. It took me ages, but I was able to find the yellow thingy after meeting up with a raven that could see through the trees, it was actually really interesting it looked like a normal raven but its eyes were more of a red color like the sharingan.

"Are you looking for the yellow light?"

"Wow you can talk?"

"Yeah I am a summoning bird, in other words I can be summoned at any time"

"So can I summon you?"

"If you like but not now you need to learn it slowly so I'll teach you later when you're not in here, by the way the yellow thing is over there" he got up from the branch and flew over and pointed with his wing to the north. Then with that he flew up and left me to continue training.

I continued to go through the forest rather quickly until I finally caught up to the yellow thingy. And amazingly I wasn't stopped again well that is until I got to the yellow thingy. Once there I had to cross a huge waterfall using my chakra and lemme tell it's a lot harder than walking on a still lake that has only a little bit of current. I fell in like 15 times literally. The good thing is I got through it alive. Then from there I had to dodge all these flames and kunais/ shurikens that were coming at me from all sorts of directions. I finally got out of there and that ended my training. Once I got out of there I was completely soaked and not really burned because I was wet when I entered the fire chamber, but I was really scratched up not to mention the nasty cut I got from the axes.

"You did pretty good I think you should get some rest I'll teach you later the phoenix flower jutsu. Meanwhile I'll get to work on what you need to work on"

"Yeah thanks"

We left the training grounds the same way we came in, but I got to admit I think I learned new things today; even if it didn't seem like it. I guess harsh training actually works. Now I have better chakra control thanks to the waterfall, better stamina thanks to the yellow firefly and soon I'll learn how to summon animals! Yay! Anyways I'll also learn Ameterasu and the phoenix flower. I think staying here was a good choice afterall.
