Check out Animescale on youtube for how I am scaling Mika...

Check out my poll on Ninja cats, I need help determining Ghost's future powers and jutsu.

There is going to be a fight coming up that is the first real challenge Mika has had... if you guess it, you win a cookie.

Two or three more chapters till Mika is fighting in missions again...

Hanabi was giddy, she was going to see Mika teach a full Academy class. She could not wait. She was ready for note taking, she was ready to learn. Mika helped Hinata become a badass, what could he do for an entire class?

The entire class was filled, Mika's reputation had spread among the staff. Iruka and his fellow teachers had given the announcement that a gifted, civilian-born Chunin slated as the strongest of his generation was going to give them a lecture on how to overcome their lack of clan jutsu. At first, there had been few people signing up, but Hanabi, who was already the best taijutsu user of her class and the strongest overall, called them out.

"He's my brother and he is amazing, he is an amazing ninja and even my Father thinks he will be jonin level in a year!"

Her words had swayed a great many, and now most of her class was filling the room.

"MEOW!"

Hanabi heard, and she immediately stood. "Be quiet everyone, Ghost is here."

They all looked at the door where Mika and Ghost walked in. Mika was armed and dressed in his full ninja outfit, with his new chakra blade and everything. His presence was intense, and Hanabi knew it was going to be an epic lesson.

"He's so little!" Konohomaru said, and Mika turned to him with a smirk.

"Your grandfather was a tiny man and he was one of the greatest shinobi in history. Size is not everything, little boy." Mika stepped up to the desk Iruka usually taught at, sitting on it's comfortable. " This is Ghost, my Familiar and partner. I am training him to be my full ninja partner. He can understand you and he is extremely smart, do not piss him off."

Iruka, by Mika, choked. "Language!"

"They are going to be ninja, they can hear me curse." Mika turned back to them. "So before I give my spiel, why don't you ask any questions? Oh and for demonstrations, my little sister Hanabi will be helping me. I know her skill set so do not be judgy, she is the only one of you that can last a few minutes against me. She is already low chunin in taijutsu, and will likely graduate in a year. She is that good."

A girl, Choco or something like that, raised her hand. "Why the Cat?"

"Great question! Cats are great trackers, flawless hunters, agile and stealthy. They are bondable with humans and receptive to our chakra. He was also available to adopt and young enough to merge with my chakra. Simple really. Plus his mind is advanced enough to learn jutsu. He has already mastered the basic chakra control exercises."

"Wow!" Choco said, smiling.

Konohomaru stood up. "How strong are you? Hanabi said something like you will be Jonin in a year!"

"I am bordering on High Chunin. The gap between High chunin and low Jonin is a wide one. It is why I am on sabbatical, to bolster my skills in healing and combat. We need more reliable ninja, so I intend to be one."

Iruka asked next. "Mika, you were always a skilled ninja, but what changed to make you so much more advanced?"

Mika sighed. "I had access to better things, I tried really hard, I did my research. Too many people rely on their genin sensei to teach them, but the truth is that, especially for clanless ninja, you need to teach yourself. To do research, to make an effort to be better. You are screwed for bloodlines or clan training, so you need to make your own. I taught myself kenjutsu, I learned medical jutsu through the hospital program. I made deals and helped people to get help. I learned conditioning nad better taijutsu through Might Gai and Raido. I put in effort every single day, day in and out.

Right now I am learning elemental control, more advanced medical everything and genjutsu and sealing. I am perfecting kenjutsu, chakra flow, taijutsu, conditioning, chakra control and the rasengan. I am mastering stealth and Silent Killing. I am a jack of all trades, with so much going on it hurts. However, with all of that, and for all of you, you must find a few skills that are your key powers. For me that is medical, kenjutsu, and the Silent Killing. Everything else is a supplement."

Hanabi raised her hand. "How would you help me? I mean my specialty is taijutsu..."

"We already got you started on earth release and advanced conditioning, mostly strength and speed-related. I would also give you a few earth jutsu and genjutsu basics, use your eyes for more than just taijutsu."

"YOU KNOW THE RASENGAN?" They all jumped at Konohomaru's bark.

Iruka's head swelled. " DON'T YELL!"

"Yes." They all turned to Mika, who demonstrated the Rasengan. "Jiraiya taught me. I am not great at it, I lack the power to make it it;'s full size but I am working on it. Why did Naruto teach you?"

The Monkey boy nodded. "Yeah, I need a clone to do it though..."

"Chakra control exercises are key, there are a million of them for you to use. Trust me, that alone is the key. Now, onto my lesson. Let's start with identifying latent skills. Does anyone have a random interest that they think could be turned into a combat style?"

One boy raised his hand. "My grandma was a dancer, she used fans and stuff... when I was little, she taught me a few of her dances, I still have her fans."

"Excellent!" Mika smiled. "Dancing could be translated into taijutsu, and the fans can be weapons or augmenting fire and wind jutsu! A great start!"

Another student, a girl, said. "I like to garden!"

"Plant control or poisons, not the wood release but there are foreign ninjas who use flower jutsu." This went on for a while, and Hanabi watched as dozens of students filled notebooks with all sorts of things. Mika in one swoop made them feel validated, important, and interesting. She loved him for that. "Now, why don't we go to the sparring arena and you can see how a clanless ninja fights."

The kids all clambered to get out of the classroom, eager to see what Mika could do.

As Hanabi more calmly left, she heard Iruka say. "He does have presence alright, Kurenai and Asuma were right."

"""

Swinging her new blade, Hinata felt it's powerful presence fill the air around her with strength and burning energy. It was so light, that she barely noticed it in her hands. Mika's training and the basics of the academy came in handy, allowing her to master the movements of the blade rather easily. Tsunade gave her a scroll on the basics of the jutsu usable through the blade, but Hinata was not skilled enough in any elemental jutsu to master it. What she was experienced in was pure chakra manipulation which made her able to tap into at least the basics.

Focusing her chakra into the hilt, she flexed her wrist and a wave of lightning chakra raged from the blade making the air stink of ozone. It took a bit more chakra than she would like, but it was awesome. She could not wait to use it in combat! With her new skills, she was going to be a real beast, she knew that.

"Disgraceful!" She heard someone mutter and turning she saw her grandfather. "Using a Senju weapon, using Kenjutsu, shaming our clan with changing the Gentle Fist!"

She sighed. "You do realize that our overspecialization is why we have been losing more ninja? Why we have not have advanced as ninja in a century? I choose to be more grandfather, why not you?"

The man glared at her, but Hinata did not care, she was too happy with where she was in life... and she would not let her grandfather or any other take that away from her.

'Things are going to change, old man... you are going to end,... and my way is going to rise.'

This was a lot of fun!

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
