One week had now passed since Ichigo had begun to attend the shinobi academy and he along with the rest of the class were finally going to learn to mold their chakra so they could begin training ninjutsu and genjutsu. Each student had been given a cup with water and told to focus their chakra into their hands holding the cup to make the water spin.
As the students kept trying over and over again if they failed slowly they were all managing to do the simple exercise with the exception of Ichigo, who were beginning to feel frustrated at his continuous failure in the exercise. But he kept trying recalling what the teacher had told them, "Meditate and reach into your stomach and find the warm feeling and pull it out." Ichigo sat down in a lotus position and closed his eyes. And began to breathe in and out. After a while in this position he finally found what he assumed was the feeling his teacher were talking about, so he began to imagine his arms grabbing a hold of it and pulled.
Suddenly the classroom exploded into a panic, it was as if they were begin crushed alive by some invisible force. Breathing became impossible, the children were quickly getting knocked unconscious by the immense pressure that were being released onto them.
Ichigo for the first time since his mother had died he smiled, until he opened his eyes. As he saw his classmates lying unconscious on the ground around him his face quickly donned the same scowl that he had started to wear since his mother had died. As he let go of what he had thought to be his chakra he looked over to where his teacher had been standing.
His teacher were kneeling onto the ground, his eyes wide with shock and fear.
"…Monster" he breathed out while staring at Ichigo.
Ichigos eyes went wide, he could feel the tears gathering in his eyes. He stood up and ran out of the academy.
It had been two weeks since the accident at the academy, he had been called before the Mizukage, Yagura to answer the question about what had happened in class that day. After being asked different questions it was decided that what had happened was most likely due to some sort of bloodline. Ichigo had spent the weeks in the forest outside of Kirigakure to try to learn to control his chakra so that the event which had happened two weeks ago would not repeat itself. It had been a excruciating two weeks but Ichigo had finally managed to get his chakra under control to the the point where he could use it to strengthen his limbs and not crush anyone around him.
Three weeks had passed since Ichigo gained control over his chakra and had started to attend the academy classes once more. During the first of the three weeks they had been given an bokken each in order to learn the basics of kenjutsu, which were a custom in Kirigakure. And now they were about to be given an actual sword. Ichigo had to admit that he was rather excited about finally getting to use the real deal rather then the blunt wooden swords they had been swinging around for the last three weeks.
The teacher walked into the classroom carrying a large storage scroll. As he reached his desk he put the scroll down and unsealed the content to reveal a numerous amount of standard Kirigakure katanas.
"Alright students, once I call your name come forth and take a katana." the teacher said as he began to call the students names.
"Kurosaki Ichigo" the teacher said after what felt like an eternity for Ichigo, he quickly made his way over to the desk and grabbed a katana and made his way back to his seat as quickly as he had gotten to the desk. As he sat down he looked at the sword in his hands, it was a standard Kirigakure katana that was used by both the regular shinobi forces as well as the ANBU, the katana lacked a guard and the handle was wrapped in white bandages and its' sheath was a dark blue color. As Ichigo stared at the sword he felt that his chakra started to slowly flow into the sword on its own, confused he attempted to cut his chakra flow only to find that it did noting. After seeing that his chakra did not seem to be causing any visible effect onto his katana other then the fact that his chakra was being stored within it he decided to let it be for now and tied his sheath onto the left side of his sash, before he began to listen to their teacher talking about how they were not allowed to use their swords in any spars without proper supervision by one of the teachers.
After the class had been dismissed for the day Ichigo made his way home to Yuuko and the old man's home.
"Hey look it's that freaky bloodline kid." a man whispered to his friend behind Ichigo's back.
"I heard he almost killed the entire class with his bloodline or something some weeks ago." his friend replied in the same low whisper as the man.
Having quite the keen hearing Ichigo began to scowl at the whispers he heard from people around him. Ever since the Kaguya clan had attacked Kiri some time ago the people had begun to be vary about other people with bloodlines, because of this the event which had happened five weeks ago had quickly spread and Ichigo had been getting even more glares and people whispering around him then he had gotten before about his pale appearance and eyes.
As he finally arrived at his 'home' he was greeted by Yuuko who offered his something to eat. Ichigo kindly refused by saying that he had already eaten and proceeded to go out to the backyard to practice swinging his new katana in order to get used to its weight and feel.
