Now that I have skills set up in this chapter, I can safely do the next few chapters.
Three Months Later
"Wow..." Mika muttered, seeing the line of chakra resonating off of his blade. "This is great, the Flying Swallow is something else. Six extra inches of blade, I bet I could go further. Pity I am a water type, a wind type could make this shaper, not just longer. Still, it gives me a serious edge agaisnt anyone not expecting it. I need to figure out how to modulate the length...hmmm."
Kazuma gaped, eyes wide. "You... that technique took me months to master as a Jonin, you got it in like six minutes at Twelve." He smirked, his entire position shifting into something Mika noted was darker, colder, almost malicious. "Tell me, kid, do you play Shogi?"
Mika nodded, hesitant. "Sure, I love Shogi."
"Let's play, consider it part of your strategy training." And boom, they were playing with a board Kazuma just happened to have on his body in a seal. "Kid, in three months you mastered the first stage of sealing, really focused your kenjutsu, healed over a hundred injuries far and wide and so much more." Mika blushed. He had been the only healer among the Guardians, so he was often asked to patch up royals, samurai and so on. It really helped focus his skills, allowing him to develop so much. "I heard from Chiriku you started to develop your own genjutsu. Seriously kid, how do you keep up?"
Mika sighed. "I loathe boredom, for one thing... but also It is my goal to be a Sanin type figure. Powerful, aligned to those that deserve it, and free."
Kazuma nodded, pride in his eyes. "And who do you think deserves your loyalty?"
"That would be anyone that helps others, is not a threat and is the best for our land."
This must have been the magic words, for Kazuma all but beamed. "Keep that in mind, kid, it will really carry you far, one day."
'He's... something is wrong, I just wish I knew what. I will have to keep an eye on him."
""
'The boy could be a serious asset, he is skill, strong and smart. In just three months he went from just scratching at Special Jonin to low Jonin. I give him a year or two, when it is time to launch our plans into action, for him to be Strong as I am, maybe even stronger. It's been so long, maybe I never have seen someone with this level of potential. I might have to get him to leave, just to set my plans into motion, to eliminate the Hokage, or better get him to join...
He may be our weakest member, but it is not by much and soon...he will be our strongest. I know that without a doubt.'
Deciding to wait, he continued to play with the boy in Shogi, desperate to figure him out, if only to ensure he did not cross him when the time came...

Next Day
Mika slashed at Chiriku, after evading a harsh kick, who dodged his blade only for a line of blood to appear on his forearm. Chiriku stopped moving. "The Flying Swallow, already? I thought Kazuma was only just teaching you this?"
"I figured it out, it wasn't hard. Chakra control is something I excel in, especially after the meditation exercises you showed me for control, sensory skills and power increases."
"That is a B rank jutsu?"
Mika blinked at him. "So?"
"Ugh, it's not fair kid, you're just too smart... patch me up, please. I don't want to ruin my robes."
Mika rolled his eyes, before doing as he was told. "You're a whiny man, Senpai."
Then, after dodging a bop to the head, a paper was placed in his face. "This is your access to the library... I think you've earned it. You're easily strong enough to protect people now... with three months of constant training with myself, Kazuma and on your own... and you've got a good head on your shoulders. I will set you to have your own shifts, starting tomorrow from six to four."
After patching the man up, Mika bowed. "You honor me... thank you, Senpai."
"Just wait until you are watching over the Daimyo during a meeting,... you'll not be thanking me for long."
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a joy to write.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
