16 The Wolf Receives a Contrac (1/2)

Months have passed and before i knew it a year has already been consumed by time.

Many things happened during the year that i've been training to become stronger.

The most notable thing that happened is my Secret Training has been exposed.

Not exposed, exposed. But to be precise 3 persons knew that I'm training alone and one of them new that i was practicing at the back of the Uchiha compound secret training ground.

The first was non other than Itachi nii. It's been a miracle that we haven't encountered each other for the first 3 months that Shisui Aniki thought me.

The reason was Itachi trains there every other day, during my rest days.

We encountered each other when i decided to train an extra day during my day off.

Itachi questioned me how i was able to find the training ground, but after I just answered that Shusui Aniki allowed me to train here in secret.

When he heard that it was Shisui Aniki he just pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. After that i asked him if i could spar with him.

He agreed after pestering him for a few hours, he agreed while saying that he won't hold back.

Itachi nii is not as fast as Shisui Aniki but he is clearly as strong as him. After being defeated by him i can see that his expression is a slightly different one than his usual stoic face.

There's a slight shock expression in his face but after that he smiled at me that i rarely see. After that i asked him if i could spar with him every now and then and he accepted if it's just every end of the week when he doesn't have missions.

After that i spar with him every now and then and he even taught me how to use a storage scroll when he gave me one since i always hide my Tanto and any ninja stuff i have under my bed. Also he doesn't know it but i've been secretly watching him practice with his Tanto while comparing it with my own.

Also for the past few months i've dabbled on the basics of Fuinjutsu.

Then the next person was none other than Hinata. Well i don't know if its real or if its just my imagination but 'Is she stalking me?'

I always think that I'm being stalked when i walk around the village. One time she saw me carrying my bag of shinobi gears while i was on my way home from the training grounds.

I saw her at a farside corner on my way back home seemingly hiding from me and when i asked her what she was doing she said that it was nothing and asked me what was inside my bag since there's a protruding kunai on one corner that I picked from the various training grounds.

I facepalmed myself and just told her that i'm practicing ninja stuffs.

She just answered with a nod since her father has been teaching her their Hyuga techniques so she thought that its fine.

She's been doing better than her anime counterpart but Neji is still better than her. Also Neji is still a destiny maniac even though his father was not killed at the Hyuga Incident. But she doesn't verbally abuse Hinata. As a matter of fact their actually civil with each other.

The last one that saw me practicing my ninja stuffs is another possible ”stalker” well both of them are more like admirers than stalkers because their both cute. But what their doing is still stalking. Well she's no stalking me per se but what she's doing with the other girls are still stalking.

The one that saw me was none other than Ino.

The first time i was able to talk to her was when i was playing with the Naru-Shika-Cho trio.

They were having a contest named ”Build the Highest Sand Tower Contest” at the sand pit in the Children's Playground when she talked to me.

She've been talking with me everytime i go to the playground after that first encounter. But after talking with me for a while she'll just go with her friends to play ”Sasuke Stalking”.

And as for how she knew i was secretly practicing, well i wanted to do some meditating exercise and i wanted to do it on a waterfall. Well it just so happens that the waterfall where i meditated was actually near the Yamanaka Clan and the Nara Clan.

She said that when she finished her chores at their flower shop she saw me entered the woods behind around their compound and followed me up until I reach the waterfall.

When i entered the waterfall she screamed when i was engulfed by the waters of the falling rapid water. She thought that i was crushed by the water pressure.

When i heard her i picked my head out of the water and saw her having a scared and pale expression. After i exit the waterfall to come near her she rushed and hugged me as hard as she can while crying.

She said that she thought that i died. Yes kids and their young minds. There's no such thing as being crushed by the falling water of a waterfall. I'm correct right?
