Steel shinobi 4:
First C rank mission:
Guy sensai really not cut for travel on sea. Clark can see Rock Lee is tending sensai with care .
" Thank you Lee. I don't need it but you made it with your youthful spirit. " Guy drank whole tea .
Clark actually enjoying the sea . Cool breeze against face and waves .
More importantly swimming.
Almost everyday Clark jump into water , swim to near island where he train himself in ninjutsu.
Clark has to say the way Lee is training, it's too much. He is wearing weights around his ankles, still he is as fast as Neji. If he removed them, he is inhumanly fast .
Everything Lee do is training. Upside down walking, thousands of push ups, pull up etc.
Neji also trains almost as hard as Lee even though he is considered genius, absolutely perfect in his own taijutsu still he trains . Clark really admire him.
Only problem is how he can train. For now he is training his aim.
His eyes are sharp and he is stronger than anyone.

Guy knew Clark always go for swimming in morning.
Guy didn't know how Clark swim fast and easily caught up with ship.
He is still feeling sea sickness but he has duty to students.
Lee and Neji is sparring.
Guy ran in water to find Clark, saw on almost five feet radius stone.
Clark has five small shurikens in one hand, raised his hand, just aimed into water.
The shurikens flew , almost scattered for untrained eye but guy has feeling Clark aim is good.
Next moment, five dead fishes rose on water.
Clark is waving his hand. Guy can tell it's like puppet master jutsu. Instead of puppets, Clark is controlling the shurikens and fishes.
Guy wish he has sharingan to see how Clark is doing it but he can't.
Clark knew Guy sensai is watching him . He grabbed with chakra threads he released from his hand.
" That's good technique Clark. " Guy praised .
Clark looked at Guy , standing on water.
Clark also trying to walk. He almost succeeded, walked for hour. But little difficult when he ran.
Clark jumped on water. Guy can see Clark is unbalanced little but managed to walk .
" Thank you Sensai . " Clark still felt little shaky on water.
Clark knew Neji and Lee can walk on water .
" Just try to sync your chakra with waves of water Clark. " Guy raised his leg.
Guy's chakra is slightly visible now.
" See . "
Clark can see Guy's chakra is moving along with water waves.
Clark knew he can release chakra like Guy , making it visible to eyes but he didn't.
He is willing his chakra to mold according to water.
" Let's see how much I can run. " Clark smiled and ran .
Guy also ran .
Guy can tell Clark is fast , but not on water . His speed is greatly lowered because he is concerned about chakra on legs .
Still Clark is running with good speed and suddenly fell into water.
Clark sighed in frustration, but happy that he ran faster and longer than yesterday.
Guy can see Clark is swimming, fast probably by releasing chakra on his legs.
But actually Clark is swimming lot slower because Guy is watching.
Clark has fish in his bag , they started cooking.
" Wow Clark. Fish is really tasty. " Lee is eating with glowing eyes.
" I made it extra spicy just for you. " Clark said, looked at Neji. " This is very mild. "
" Thank you Clark. " Neji took small portion as he like it . Luffy is having remaining of it .
" Let's start . "
Clark, Guy and Rock Lee has large full fish in their plates while Neji has very small part but he stopped eating, knowing what happens next .
Immediately three started digging into fish very fast .
Neji is observing them with keen eye.
They all finished almost same time and looked at Neji.
" Winner is Clark as usual , next Guy then Lee. " Neji announced.
" Yes. " Clark fisted in air.
" So Lee, 500 upside down walking rounds ship." Guy said, Lee already started walking upside down. Guy joined.
After finishing 500 rounds, Guy almost threw up entire fish he ate .

" Pirates . " Lee shouted .
Clark can see Lee is able to fight those six pirates very easily. These pirates are no ninja.
Within five minutes all of them knocked unconscious by Lee .
" Very good Lee. " Guy patted . " You fought good with power of youth ."
" Thank you Lee. " Luffy thanked . " We may have to face more numbers of pirates on the way."
" Don't worry my friend. " Guy said. " We will fight all of them with power of youth. "
As expected almost every day or two days, pirates or bandits started attacking but it's never really trouble for them.
No one has serious talent, they easily dealt with them without sweat .
Good thing is almost everyday Clark trained to walk on water, finally able to run as fast as he can.

" Where are you dragging me? " A shark like faced man getting dragged by more than seven feet long sword which is covered by bandages.
Kisume is actually happy because it's not usual that his sword drag him like that unless he sensed chakra he liked.
He is running on water until it stopped in front of big rock .
Kisume can see only one boy on the rock who is training himself.
The boy is nothing more than twelve years. That boy is just throwing a small shuriken and it's coming back to him, catching it.
" You mean that boy? " Kisume asked. His sword just shook like it wanted that boy's chakra. Kisume smiled. " Have a feast then " He threw his sword with tremendous strength. " Even though it's not even appetizer . "
The sword moved with such a speed, Kisume sure the boy has no chance of escape but last moment that boy jumped back, stood on water .
Clark looked at the large man with gills and shark like face. He surprised by sudden attack and more surprised by killer look in his face.
" Who are you? " Clark asked.
" Doesn't matter boy. " Kisume said " you will be dead within moment. " Kisume jumped, grabbed his sword.
Next moment, Kisame attacked Clark, within moment Clark infused his chakra into his kunai, blocked it .
For Clark's surprise, his kunai broke, he got cut.
Next moment Clark jumped back but he felt he is weak .
He never been cut before, no weapon he knew ever able to hurt him . Moreover whenever he infused chakra to his weapon, it used to be unbreakable.
Still his kunai broke, he got hurt.
" How ? " Clark wondered.
" Don't bother kid. " Kisame said. " My sword cut your chakra. "
Clark is worried.
But Clark didn't need to be worry. His wound healed immediately, he felt strong again.
Kisame again attacked , this time Clark is ready, he dodged.
" How ?" Kisame surprised. " You should have not been able to walk . "
Kisame attacked again.
Clark is fast but so is Kisame. Moreover Clark is used to being control, not used to use his full speed.
And Kisame is experienced fighter.
It took time but Kisame is able to touch him with his sword on Clark's chest .
Next moment Clark felt pain never been before. He felt weaker than ever .
He is not able to walk on water anymore.
But immediately he felt stronger again but his chakra is still weak .
" Looks like you had feast . " Kisame said
Clark noticed Kisame's sword is no longer wrapped in bandages. It's has spiked fins and mouth with large teeth.
Clark jumped, immediately reached surface.
" Stop . " Clark shouted.
Kisame looked back and surprised seeing the boy is able to walk again.
Looks like little bit of chakra restored again. He may not be using any ninjutsu as strong before. He has his physical strength.
Clark ran, with incredible speed, kicked on Kisame stomach.
Kisame who is strong himself but never felt punch like this before.
Clark is still careful about the sword but Clark is not controlling his speed or strength.
Kick after kick rained around Kisame, he threw up blood.
Clark never felt this much free before. He is always careful, always controlling his strength.
The feeling of pain and fear made him loosen up .
So is his rage .
Clark screamed with rage, raining punch after punch on Kisame face .
Kisame never thought a mere kid is able to beat him pulp .
" Samehada " he shouted , the sword wrapped around him as protective shield.
Clark hand stopped inch before the sword.
Clark can't believe he lost control like this .
Every inch of this man's body is beaten, he is sure every bone in his body is broken.
Clark jumped back , took deep breath to get himself control.
That man is different. Normal man would been dead by now but this man endured his assault and lived.
Clark don't know how to explain all this to Guy Sensai but only option is to take him to his Sensai.
But Clark's surprise, Kisame wounds are getting healed .
His sword is healing him somehow Clark realised.
Kisame is never felt this much lucky ever before because of ownership of this sword.
It's using this boy's chakra to heal him.
Clark also feeling his chakra is getting stronger.
Clark jumped back again and again getting distance from this shark man .
Clark thought it's better to do long distance fight than close combat.
Clark summoned five shurikens, threw. Clark can see as soon as these shurikens touched the swords, his chakra around them is absorbed, making them fall.
But Clark has tricks, chakra from his hands immediately followed those shurikens, Clark again attacked, this time with full speed.
Kisame didn't think this fight will go on like this. Glad he is full again thanks to his samadara. But immediately five shurikens embedded in his fingers.
Kisame can't believe his sword is not able to stop those .
Next moment these shurikens raised from his hands again attacked with tremendous speed.
Kisame body felt like full of punctures . His sword is not able to stop those shurikens.
They are being controlled by that boy, wherever there is gap, his shurikens are finding it .
In moment, Clark threw more, five became fifty shurikens .
He is getting cut like ribbons .
Kisame is no longer able to hold his giant sword .
And that boy is not giving time to wave signs .
Almost ten minutes, Clark stopped.
" I have to give it to you boy. You are good . "
Clark eyes widened seeing that man is healed immediately.
Kisame instantly grabbed his sword, ran using full speed.
Clark has to say that is lot faster than anyone he has seen. Even Guy Sensai.
But Clark is fast too .
For Kisame's surprise, not single attack reached the the boy .
No matter how fast Kisame waved his sword, this boy moved faster. He is lot faster than before .
Clark knew he can't use ninjutsu right now , he summoned his special weapon.
A long metal staff . It's more than ten feet.
He used special metal , which heaviest and strongest. It took him more than year to find enough material and forge it perfectly.
Clark waved his staff which is longer than Samedara sword.
As he expected, the staff is holding against the sword, without breaking.
Next ten minutes, Clark beated crap out of Kisume.
The sword not able to reach the boy but boy hit him every inch of body .
If it's not for his sword, which is constantly giving chakra, he would have been pulp .
Clark never thought he found man like this. Apparently this guy has infinite chakra but so is he. And his sword can eat chakra.
Lucky thing is even Clark's chakra lost, he is having his strength.
Clark is not sure why or how, he is lucky.
" You sure have your tricks little boy . " Kisame said, tightening grip around his Samehada. He has no choice. He never thought he has to use this form against simple boy with no talent.
Kisame can sense this boy is still learning but his speed and strength are too much to handle.
Clark can see the sword and the guy merged, looking like merman or half fish.
Clark is concluded he can't touch this man now.
Clark raised his staff to attack.
Kisame moved fingers, a large amount of water surrounding around both Clark and Kisame.
But what Kisame didn't expect is Clark is showing no trouble at all in breathing under water.
Clark hold his breath but he knew he can stay under water longer without any problem. He didn't tested fully so he doesn't know how long.
Clark used chakra in his legs to move upwards, coming out of water.
Probably this guy strong in water so coming out of water is best idea .
Kisame also moved upwards, for Clark's surprise, large amount of water bubble moved along with Kisame, making Clark to be under water.
What Kisame didn't expect is Clark is faster than him even underwater.
He is not able to catch Clark but Clark is beating every inch of his body with his staff .
Kisame didn't see any fins or gills on Clark but not sure how Clark is okay under water.
Clark can sense this guy is now lot stronger than before. His hits are having effects not much.
Clark summoned huge hammer, attacked.
Kisame eyes widened seeing huge hammer in hand .
Clark rained hits, making every bone in body to break again and again.
Kisame is strong after merging with his sword still getting hit by huge hammer is too much .
Also he needs to use huge chakra to maintain this much water bubble.
" Thousand shark bombs . " Kisame said.
Clark moved his hammer which weigh more than couple of tons with ease, destroyed each water shark .
" Water vortex jutsu "
Next moment water arround water moved circle, several vortexes formed, making Clark to lost sight of Kisame.
Kisame never thought he will run from small boy but he has to .
Clark just pushed through vortexe, reached Kisame, attacked.
For his surprise, it's water clone.
Clark can see more than hundred clones arround him.
Clark simply raised , attacked each clone, leaving Kisame who stood back.
" Water dragon jutsu. "
Next moment huge dragon made of water attacked .
When the dragon roared, icy cold surrounded Clark, froze him block of ice .
" Finally I got you . " Kisame moved towards the boy .
When Kisame is five feet, Clark broke out of ice, hit him on jaw with full strength, make his jaw to broke full into several pieces.
Clark had another round of barrage of hits, beating his body pulp again and again.
Kisame can tell he is loosing his infinite chakra.
" Final water wall wave. "
Clark saw huge wall of water between him and Kisame.
Kisame knew it's his chance to escape but before he can move, a long chain wrapped around his legs , binding him through water wall .
Clark is careful not to touch this guy. He summoned two small hammers and bashed his body pulp.
Clark is really don't want to kill this guy so he can bring him to Guy Sensai.
But no matter how much beating he is getting, his sword is healing more and more.
But Clark can see this healing is taking longer now .
Clark swam towards up, his water bubble is no longer following him . Clark reached surface.
" Now tell me . " Clark asked. " Why did you attack me? "
" My sword can sense chakra. It want your huge chakra. " Kisame said.
Clark is glad that it's nothing to do with his mission, no need to take him to Guy Sensai and explain how he beat him .
" Undo your jutsu . " Clark asked.
Next moment, Kisame water bubble is fully disappeared, his sword jumped out of Kisame body . It's smaller than before. Looks like it used it's chakra on Kisame so he can heal .
Shark fin, and teeth is trying to bite out of chain but the chain is strong, breaking out is not that easy .
" Do not try to escape. " Clark bashed hammer on Kisame head .
Clark can tell this guy is nothing but ruthless killer.
So he summoned sword from his scroll, raised it.
Kisame is ready for his death. But before Clark can kill, that Samedara sword bit Kisame at midriff , grabbed screaming body , swam.
Clark is surprised by Kisame screams otherwise he would have stopped them .
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Clark realised what he is capable of , if he really loosen himself.
He needs training to use his unlimited stamina to his advantage along with his fast reflexes without revealing his powers .
Clark didn't even know that guy's name except description.
" Where are you Clark. " Rock Lee is training with training dummy with incredible speed. " You missed training. "
" Oh. " Clark rubbed his head. " I got held up. "
Guy shook his head with disapproval but barely.
" Come on Clark. " Guy said. " Where is your power of youth? " Placed his hand on his shoulder. " I know you have talent . You need training to do it. "
" I am sorry Sensai. " Clark said . " I was attacked by weird guy with weird sword without any reason. "
" Really ? " Guy said. " Must be one of legendary 7 swordsman of hidden mist. " His eyes widened. " How did you escape? "
" I don't think i am real target. " Clark said. " His sword tried to attack me but i escaped. "
" you are lucky Clark. Not many people attacked by them and survived to tell the tale. " Guy said.
" I won't call it fight Sensai . " Clark said . Thinking that it's like , him beating that guy into pulp is most part of fight.
