Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 36 Special training.

"Shit!" Kiba suddenly

sat up from his bed, eyes widening as he glanced at the clock. It was almost

seven o'clock.

He's running late.

Thinking of Uzumaki Kushina's

notorious fists, Kiba winced. He dressed and washed as quickly as possible,

biting into a Konoha extra-large steamed bun as he bolted out the door.

For Kiba, who had recently

developed a taste for meat, the Konoha extra-large steamed bun was still

essential. Firstly, it was cheap; secondly, it was filling; and thirdly, it was

probably Kiba's favorite food aside from meat. This extra-large steamed bun was

a staple for him.

I heard they sometimes mix

meat-filled extra-large steamed buns with the regular ones, selling only one a

day. Just thinking about it made Kiba a little excited.

After all, the amount of meat in

an extra-large steamed bun is almost like a large bowl of meat.

Ultimately, it's all about the

meat.

Kiba fondly recalled the barbecue

from the previous day. To celebrate their victory, Kushina had ordered a lot of

high-quality beef and beef offal, especially the back meat. The taste was

simply irresistible.

Thinking of the sizzling sound and

the glistening barbecue, Kiba found himself drooling.

Now is not the time to think about

meat! Kiba ran even faster.

He was already late!

At the early morning meeting place

of Kushina's class, tension filled the air.

"Boom!"

A red, bulging bump appeared on

Kiba's head, a wisp of blue smoke fluttering above it.

Kiba knelt, clutching his head.

It hurts! Why does Kushina's fist

always hurt so much?

After reprimanding Kiba, Uzumaki

Kushina's fiery red hair slowly settled. "As a ninja, timing is very

important. You must be on time, no matter what you do."

What does timing have to do with

being punctual? Kiba grumbled internally.

Hirohiko and Yukina watched Kiba's

"painful" expression, silently swallowing their nervousness and

nodding repeatedly.

"Alright, starting today, I

will train each of you individually. After dinner, you will train

independently. From now on, you will train for fourteen hours a day. When you

go back, ensure you get enough sleep and rest. Understood?" Uzumaki Kushina

announced.

"Yes, Sensei Kushina!"

Kiba and the others responded in unison.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Uzumaki Kushina created three shadow clones. "Now... let the training

begin!"

The three teammates exchanged

glances and prepared to practice sparring as usual.

Just then, Uzumaki Kushina stopped

them. "Three people, three places. Follow my shadow clones. From now on,

you are no longer teammates but competitors!"

With that, the three shadow clones

dashed into the dense forest.

Competitors?

Kiba smiled, the challenge

igniting his spirit. He followed one of the shadow clones into the forest.

Just what I want!

Moments later, Hirohiko and Yukina

also followed their respective shadow clones, their determination mirroring

Kiba's.

We must catch up and surpass Kiba!

In the Chunin Exam, we won't lose to him again!

After they left, Uzumaki Kushina

watched the rising sun, a slight smile on her lips.

"So, which of the three will

be the first to come back to me for sparring?"

"Plop, plop!"

Kiba followed Uzumaki Kushina's

shadow clone to an open area where a small river flowed through. After landing,

Kiba quickly surveyed the surroundings.

Aside from the small river, it was

an open space with a wide view and some greenery.

"Kiba, your chakra attributes

should be water and earth," Uzumaki Kushina's shadow clone said.

Kiba nodded. The shadow clone

essentially represented Uzumaki Kushina herself. Talking to the shadow clone

was like talking to Kushina. Everything the clone said and did was an extension

of the original.

"At your age, having two

attributes is very rare. You're also a genius in ninjutsu," Uzumaki

Kushina praised without hesitation.

From the battle with Kakashi,

Uzumaki Kushina recognized Kiba as a calm and analytical ninja. He was careful

and smart in combat, knowing what to do and what he could do. This was an

advantage even many Chunin and some Jonin lacked.

It was this carefulness,

intelligence, and calmness that allowed Kiba to defeat Kakashi, turning

potential defeat into victory by exploiting Kakashi's momentary negligence.

Therefore, she wasn't worried

about Kiba being carried away by her praise.

Kiba listened, absorbing her

appreciation without speaking.

"I also have water

attributes. From today onwards, I will train you in ninjutsu. During

independent training, you'll focus on taijutsu. Occasionally, you can ask

Hirohiko for shuriken techniques. While you're very good, your shuriken skills

aren't even a tenth of Hirohiko's!" Uzumaki Kushina said seriously.

Kiba nodded. Uzumaki Kushina was

right. Hirohiko's shuriken skills were dazzling, almost miraculous to Kiba, who

felt inferior in comparison.

He also understood Uzumaki

Kushina's intentions.

She wanted him to understand that

there was no shame in asking for help and learning from others' strengths. His

talent in ninjutsu had been discovered, but his shuriken skills hadn't received

much attention.

Kiba could hit a single shuriken

or kunai aimed at him, but Hirohiko could accurately hit multiple targets at

once and even counterattack with Sharingan.

"I understand, Sensei

Kushina," Kiba said seriously.

Uzumaki Kushina nodded. "In

the mornings, we'll train your water jutsu. In the afternoons, you'll use earth

jutsu to block my water jutsu. I don't know earth jutsu well, but this way, I

can help you train your earth attribute."

She sighed slightly, wishing she

could teach him earth jutsu better but lacking the chakra nature transformation

herself.

"No, thank you, Sensei

Kushina. Using earth jutsu to counter water jutsu is the best training

method!" Kiba said quickly.

Kushina's water jutsu was

powerful. A single water dragon bullet could overwhelm him. Using her water

jutsu to train his earth jutsu was excellent.

Kiba understood that Kushina had

put much thought into this training plan.

He felt genuine gratitude from the

bottom of his heart.

"Then, I'll teach you the

Water Release: Water Colliding Wave technique first. Remember it well."

"Yes, Sensei Kushina."

Without further ado, Uzumaki

Kushina began teaching Kiba the water jutsu.

Kiba quickly entered the Life Gate

mode, eager to learn.

The seven-day special training had

officially begun!
