31 Heavenly tribulation (1/2)

Ryushi and Miyako were now sitting in the courtyard in their home, they were just setting leisurely sipping some tea when they received a shocking report.

they were currently staring shocked at the report sent by one of the ninjas they sent to keep a close eye on Rei, of course, there was no way that they would have let him go alone, those said Ninja would participate in the war like any other but if anything came up they would even break the unspoken rule and interfere to save Rei .

What they were reading shocked them to their core they even though that it was fake, but they knew that that was impossible, first was that the people who they have sent were absolutely loyal and there was no way they would betray them or else they wouldn't have assigned them to such an important task, second they received the exact same report from different sources with some difference here and there.

” You think it has something to do with our bloodline?? ” Miyako asked.

” Most likely, that's the only explanation, I can't think of anything else,” said Ryushi.

” At least we can make sure that he can take care of himself, according to the report he won't be in any kind of danger as long as he is not moved up to adults unit, but we should keep the guards for now just in case,” said Miyako.

” Un, your right, seeing his potential I would be surprised if other Force's didn't try to assassinate him, I say we send more guard's,” said Ryushi.

” I agree, let's send our personal guards also it is not like we need them anymore,” said Miyako.

” Great idea let's do it, ” said Ryushi agreeing with his wife.

And like that, a couple of hundred other ninjas Departed from the clan main headquarters and headed in the direction of the battlefield.

In the temporary camp set up by the shioya clan, people were moving all around the place doing various tasks, from arranging supplies, making food..etc, those people were an actually normal civilian who was tasked with miscellanies tasks.

The Ninja were either resting, training, or huddled up in small group chatting, the main target of most discussions was obviously Rei, just through that one Battle, he had awed a lot of people and earned the Respect of more.

Rei was currently in his private tent one of the many benefits of being the son of the clan head, after having a full healthy meal he as usual set down Cross-legged on his bed meditating.

He was kind of annoyed at the people that were watching him day and night he even planned to replace them with shadow Puppets to get rid of the nuisance but stopped himself as he knew that they were people sent by his parents.

' isn't this a little overkill ' thought Rei.

After confirming that there was no threat he just ignored them and went back to meditating, right now he wasn't just practising he was also going over yesterday battle and reviewing his fighting style, the mistakes he made, although very small they were none the less there, and pretty much getting the full benefits of yesterday experience.

Time flew by in light speed and it was already the morning of the next day, it was time for the next battle and he needed to get himself ready.

Not long after that he was already at the frontline this time the terrain was a little different but nothing major, once again the staring contest began, but this time Rei was ready before he made his move he decided to ask something that was really bothering him for a while now.

He turned to a kid on his left who was at least eight years old so he must have gone through a lot of battles, ” hey you ” he said.

The people around looked at him, the young kid noticing that he was speaking to him panicked he bowed and said, ” yes young master ”, if this happened yesterday he would have said and did the same thing but he wouldn't panic like this and he wouldn't actually mean it he would say it like a formality, but yesterday incident have cemented Rei position in his heart and so many others and changed the way they treated him entirely.

” How long does this usually last, the looking at each other part I mean,” said Rei.

The kid was now really scared he thought that Rei was going to order him to start the Battle, Which in turn would make him a target for so many others of the enemy's side and he knew he wouldn't survive if that happened, but he answered nonetheless, ” it usually lasts for about one hour at least young Master, in this one hour we try to observe our enemies and try to identify their strengths and weakness ”.

Rei stared at him dumbstruck but he didn't say anything which further scared the kid, in his mind he was thinking ' what the f*ck is wrong with you people '.
