Thousand Sleepless Nights

Chapter #03 - Training Days

Asun and his master were both standing in a big room with hard ground as the floor of the room. Asun put his puppet on the ground between him and Sasori, the boy stood up and stared at his master.

The blonde saw that his master wasn't not even looking at him, But only his puppet. Asun didn't know what to do, so he took this chance to speak to Sasori.

"Master so what is the next step of training?" The boy said with curiousity as he was really excited for the next stage of his well-deserved training.

"The next step of your training is learning how to control it...And by it, I mean your puppet The Swordsman !" The red-haired man said and then Sasori held out his arm as he said "Let me demonstrate..." to say to his student.

Sasori's chakra shot out of his finger tips forming blue-colored chakra strings. The older man slightly moved his fingers, once he moved his fingers the puppet stood up on it's feet. Sasori wanted to show Asun even more but his time was short, so he raised his arm even further in the air, and the strings pulled the puppet into the air.

The blonde was simaltaneously shocked and amazed by what his master was showing him or as Sasori said "Demonstrating" The puppet-master did not show any emotion to what he did, because the man new that what he did was nothing to celebrate over. But the red-haired man couldn't help but feel an emotion of pride deep in his heart once he stared into his student's eyes.

"This is what you must learn before we start putting anything into this puppet !" Not knowing what he meant by putting something into his puppet, Asun was eager to try what his master did himself.

"Master, may I try it myself?" the boy said to his master with excitement.

Sasori was glad to see the boy was happy to learn the art of puppetry, but he knew if he let the boy show or feel any joy that might get him killed. So only one thing Sasori could do was to crush his student's happiness.

"Wipe that smirk off your face, before I ripe it off myself..." Sasori said to his student in an angry tone.

Asun's face of excitement and his grin had turned into a cold expressionless face, The blonde said "I am sorry master Sasori, please forgive my actions." The red-haired ninja only said "Good"

Sasori lowered the boy's puppet to the ground as the chakra strings coming out of his finger tips faded away. Sasori lowered his arm as he said to his student. "Well, what are you waiting for ?..." The older ninja said as he got impatient.

As Asun stared at his puppet, he knew that the way he acted his entire life needed to change, or he might lose his life in the process. The boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After he exhaled, Asun opened his eyes and said to his master "Okay I'm ready," Sasori saw that the boy was not only eager to learn puppetry, but was ready to change himself as well.

"Good let's begin !" As soon as these words came out of Sasori's mouth. The blonde held bith of his arms out in front of him, both pointing in the direction of his puppet.

"Now listen to me, because I'm only going to tell you this once." Said the red-haired ninja.

"Focus and put less than 30% of your chakra into the tips of your fingers. Than imagine strings connecting to the main points of your puppet. Than try to move your puppet, understand ?...boy !"

Asun stared intensely with determination in both of his eyes, with a quick second of thinking if he could do this, he replied to his master "Understood."

The young student closed his eyes and started to focus all of his chakra into his hands. Trying to keep his master's words in mind, Asun took a deep breath to relax. After he exhaled, chakra like strings launched from his finger tips and attached to his puppet.

Asun could feel that he was now connected to his puppet, and knowing that he was almost there, to prove to his master no the world that he wasn't a screw up. He started to move his pinky

But the puppet didn't move, Asun stared at his puppet as he gripped his hands twice, but still the puppet didn't move even a inch. The blonde was getting quite angry, he pulled both of his arms back, raised his arms up and down, hoping he would be able to do something. But much to the blonde's disappointment. The puppet didn't move.

As Asun stared at his puppet, a strange feeling of despair and disappointment came over to him and he droped on the floor on his knees. He lowered his head and closed his eyes so his master wouldn't see his face.

"Grr...why can't I get this?! Why?" The hidden-leaf ninja disappointedly thought.

The boy struck the floor three times with his fist as hard as he could, Asun said to himself every time he hit the floor. "Damn it...Damn it...Damn it". Sasori could see that his student was blind to what was really going on here.

"Open your eyes boy, and look at your puppet, boy."

Asun was surprised to hear those words coming out of his master's mouth, Asun raised his head and stared at his puppet, and he saw that his puppet was bowing to him. Asun said to his master with a shocked look on his face. "But how, did you do this master Sasori?"

Sasori replied "No, you did it all on your. And I'm not taking any reponsiblities for what the puppet is doing now." Sasori stared at his student and he said to him. "Now stand up boy, and show me what you can do."

Asun stood on his feet and stared at his puppet with new determination filled in his eyes. The boy stared moving his fingers and his arms back and forth, and left to right.

The movements of the boy's fingers and arms was causing the chakra strings to move that were attached to the puppet, the puppet started to fly around the room thanks to Asun's new found skills.

Sasori allowed the boy to have a few minutes of joy before he stepped in. Once Sasori couldn't take anymore of the boy's so-called skills, and he hatted time wasting. A scorpion-like tail came from underneath his robe and smacked his student's creation to the ground.

"That's enough." Sasori said to Asun to get his attention. After he got his attention Sasori said to the boy. "You know how to move the puppet and quite quickly too if i may say. But that does not mean you are even a step closer to matching me in skills or strength ! understand...boy !"

Asun lifted his puppet off the ground and he moved it closer to himself, using his chakra strings. After he has his puppet in his arms, his chakra strings detached from the puppet and went back inside of his body.

Asun turned left and he stared at his master. Asun said to Sasori "Master Sasori, I hate to be rude, but what is that behind you?" Sasori replied to his student "Yes that's the next skill you must learn? How to add weapons to your puppet !"

Sasori slowly walked towards the door, while walking he said "Follow and I shall show you, how to add weapons to your puppet !"

Amazed but still in the dark Asun stared at his master's iron tail, he wondered what it was. Eagered to know he followed Sasori out of the training room to the his building room.

3 months have passed since Sasori showed Asun how to turn a puppet into a weapon. Asun had grown exponentially strong even in the short period of 3 months.

He was still under the watchful eye of Sasori, that didn't mean he didn't branched out. Asun had mastered a new art of the puppet master justu that he himself had created, but even so he still didn't hold a candle to his master.

Because of that fact, Asun created many more puppets. Each one different than other, but they were all powerful and strong. But for some reason he hadn't used any of his other puppets besides The Swordsman.

Asun was summoned by his master to meet him at the training grounds.

Knowing he hadn't left since he got there 3 months ago. Asun was really eagered to leave. But even so he didn't want to keep Sasori waiting so the boy went to the training ground.

Asun opened the door and entered the training room, as he stood there he looked forward and saw the rogue shinobi that had kidnapped him a while back standing.

The blonde walked over to the rogue shinobi and said to him "Where's lord Sasori?"

The rogue shinobi stared at the boy as he replied to him "Sasori wanted me to see how far we have come along in your training."

Asun said to him "I see, and how are you going to do that?"

The rogue shinibi replied with a smirk "By fighting of course..."

Once he said that Asun quickly pulled the Scroll that contained The swordsman puppet, from the slot on his chest.

Asun said to the rogue shinobi as he opened the scroll, "I was hoping you'd say that!...To be honest I really wanted to get my revenge on you, for what you did to my friends 3 months ago." The shinobi pulled a kunai from his pouch with his right hand.

"I thought you moved on by now?" The rogue shinobi said to Asun

Asun replied to him "I have, but this is just for me." White smoke came from the scroll once it opened, as the smoke cleared the swordsman puppet was now floating in mid air without the help of Asun's chakra strings.

The blonde still had hatred in his heart for what that shinobi did to him, he crossed his arms, and he said to the mask shinobi. "Are you ready to begin?"

The masked shinobi didn't say a word to the boy, Asun closed his eyes and he said to him "I will take that as a yes." Without another word from either of them the battle had started. And in a blink of an eye.

Asun's puppet quickly disappeared and reappeared behind the rogue shinobi with two samurai swords in the puppet's hands. The rogue shinobi dropped to the floor as his body spilt in two. The swordsman puppet's arms opened up revealing 2 slots built-in puppet arms.

The two swords in the puppet's hands floated into the slots inside the arms. The swords went inside the puppet as the slots slide back into the puppet's arms.

After the rogue shinobi blood started to poor on the floor, The blonde boy brought his puppet back into the scroll using the reversal summoning jutsu. Asun put the scroll back into it's place, as he said to the rogue shinobi, "I tried to reason with you, but you didn't listen..."

Asun heard his master voice say to him "Meet me at the entrance?". Asun did as he was told, he turned around and he walked out of the training room, and he started to walk towards the entrance to the hideout.

As Asun walked towards the location that his master told him to go, he saw Sasori standing next to Deidara in front of the entrance to the hideout. Deidara was a blonde-haired shinobi. He too was wearing a black robe with red clouds on it. Deidara was standing on his flying clay bird, as Sasori was standing next to him inside of his favorite puppet Hiruko.

Once Asun walked over to his master, Sasori spoke to him "Good ! you are here. I have something to tell you, Asun?" He turned his head slightly right and he looked back at his student and said to him. "It's time to go !"
