Chapter 33: New Sensei
This was their schedule for one month, with just one break in between where they simply rested as they were too tired to go on an outing.
After a month, Hiruzen called them, and to say he was shocked to see them would be an understatement.
He called them to his office to tell them about their sensei, as both of them were back in the village. But when they entered his office, he immediately felt that they had improved significantly.
He quickly spread his chakra and was stunned. Yomi now had 72 units of chakra, which was very good as it was the normal amount for some elite Chunin. However, the person who shocked Hiruzen the most was Kaida, who had a staggering amount of 154 units. He already had Jonin-level chakra. Hiruzen looked toward them and asked,
"Is your chakra still increasing from reading?"
"No, Grandpa. The increase stopped three weeks ago and remained stagnant for the last week. Do you know why?" Kaida asked.
"Hmm, it's pretty simple. Your physical and spiritual energy were unbalanced, and due to the increase in spiritual energy, your chakra grew at a very fast rate. But now that you have found the balance between both of your energies, your chakra has stopped increasing at the same speed. However, it hasn't stagnated; it will just increase at a normal pace like every other ninja. The more you practice, the more it will grow."
"Oh! Thanks, Grandpa," Yomi said.
"Now, leave that aside. The main thing is that your new sensei are back in the village. They should be here any minute."
As if on cue, the door to his office banged open, and a girl, looking around 20 years old, entered the office, followed by a middle-aged but strong-looking man.
"Old man, we just returned. At least let us take a day off before giving us the 'responsibility' of some twerps," the girl said.
"Just as I was saying. Kaida, Yomi, meet your new sensei. She is Daichi Tanabe, and he is Yukihiro Senju. Both of them are elite Jonin, so try to learn from them the best you can," Hiruzen said while ignoring what Daichi had just said.
Daichi is a 5.6-foot-tall girl, still in her 20s, with an ample blossom and a cute face, but her fiery personality is something that keeps her from becoming popular among boys. The number of boys she has admitted to the Konoha Hospital crosses 30.
Yukihiro is a 6.3-foot-tall giant man from the Senju clan. He is married and has children. Due to his large build and facial features, he looks older than he actually is. He is in his early 30s, and since he has two newborn children and wanted to take a break from missions, this teaching duty provided him the chance, so he was more than happy to teach them.
"Good morning, sensei," both of them bowed toward them and greeted them.
Daichi turned toward them, and after looking for some time, she said,
"Tsk, don't go calling people 'sensei' before they agree to teach you, brats."
Yukihiro just laughed and spoke,
"Hahaha, good morning to you as well. I don't know about her, but I'm happy to teach you guys."
"Well, at first, you guys will be teaching each of your students elemental jutsu. As I said, they share your elemental affinity. After that, you can start with the extra things you want to teach them," Hiruzen said to Yukihiro and Daichi, then turned to Kaida and Yomi and said,
"Daichi is very proficient in genjutsu and ninjutsu. As for Yukihiro, he is very good in kenjutsu and ninjutsu, so make sure to learn all you can from them."
Seeing that there was no saving it, Daichi turned toward Kaida and Yomi and asked,
"Which one of you has lightning affinity?"
Yomi came forward, with a smile on her face, and said,
"I do, sensei. I have lightning and water affinity."
"OK, since we have been allocated training ground 20, come there at 10 AM," Daichi said and left.
"So, I will be teaching you, boy. As she said, we have been allocated training ground 20. You, too, come there at 10 AM," Yukihiro said and left.
Now only three of them remained in the office.
"Both of you may go back now."
"OK, Grandpa."
Both Kaida and Yomi left for the training ground directly.
They reached training ground 20 in 30 minutes. Since there was no hurry, both of them just walked there. If they had run all the way, they might have reached it in 5-10 minutes.
On reaching the training ground, both of them made a Shadow Clone and then began meditating.
Their clones started to scan the surroundings and make a rough map of the training area. After they had scanned the whole training area, they dispersed themselves, and Kaida and Yomi got the memories of their clones.
While they were doing this, Daichi and Yukihiro were secretly following them. If Kaida and Yomi had gone back to their house to rest and then come to the training area at 10 AM, neither Daichi nor Yukihiro would have accepted to teach them, as no one wanted to teach lazy students. On the other hand, both of them were now impressed. Not only did their new students come to the training area early, but they also performed one of the basic and most important tasks that every ninja should do: gain complete knowledge of their surroundings.
They waited until 10 AM and then used the Body Flicker Jutsu to appear in the training ground. By this time, both Kaida and Yomi had stopped meditating and had started doing light warm-ups.
When they saw their new sensei appear in front of them, they bowed.
"No need for such formalities from now on. Yomi, right? Come with me," Daichi said and took Yomi to a corner of the training ground.
Kaida was standing alone, watching Yomi leave with Daichi. Then Yukihiro said,
"Well, brat, let's start with the introduction. I'll go first. My name is Yukihiro Senju, and as you can tell, I'm from the Senju clan, the same clan as your father. He was a friend of mine," Yukihiro said with a sad smile on his face.
"But don't expect any leniency because of this. We will be doing very hard training for some time."
"Yes, sensei. As you know, my name is Kaida Senju. I have just graduated from the academy, so I only know three basic jutsu and the Shadow Clone Jutsu, which Grandpa taught us."
