Chapter 34: 34. Go harder Tsume!!
Also, he had not been able to visit Tsume after the bathroom incident that day. He had made her feelings quite good, and it was time to put his achievement to use and gain Chakra.
...
Just as he reached the boundary of the Inozuka clan, he spotted a loud boy running off with his pup. The boy was no doubt the son of her good friend Tsume.
"Hey there Reko!" Reko was greeted by Kiba.
"Hey Kiba. Going for training again?" Reko asked politely, internally, he was hoping that the boy would be away from home for a few hours which would in turn give Reko time with Tsume.
"Yeah man. You can spar with mom. She is about to come back from a meeting." Kiba replied positively. He was going out train again. Time was running fast and he needed to beat that blonde kid Naruto to become a stronger shinobi.
Kiba knew that Reko was a Chunin who was being trained by his mother in her spare time. He informed her about Tsume's schedule before continuing to run away in hurry. Kiba wanted to train, train harder!!
"I see.." Reko nodded but Kiba was already gone.
'His movements have gotten faster... He would very likely be promoted to the Chunin rank in a few months. Must be amazing training under that sexy Kurenai!' Reko analysed Kiba's speed, confirming that the loud boy would soon be promoted to a Chunin.
He was envious of the boy being trained by Kurenai, but it was alright. If his kekkei genkai and system screen worked like he thought then it would not be a problem for him to become powerful.
Reko went to the courtyard of Tsume. Most of the people in the Inozuka clan were already familiar with his presence. So, Reko went to Tsume's house uninterrupted and proceeded to wait there.
Ten minutes passed,
"Been waiting here for me, boy?" Just a few minutes after he had arrived at the house, Tsume happened to come back from her meeting and greeted Reko with a smile.
She seemed happy from the meeting, things must have gone in her favour.
"Exactly. I was looking for some guidance from you." Reko answered Tsume. Unable to forget the incident from the bathroom that day, he could not help but look at Tsume's body in that way.
"A taijutsu spar again?" Tsume asked, assuming that Reko was looking for a taijutsu spar. She knew about the mission he had completed, and assumed that he must be training hard because of the motivation from the mission.
"No no! Not that." Reko hesitated as he thought of the words to put his proposal about the shadow clone jutsu.
'Not that then? Does he want to continue from where we stopped last time? I had promised to him that I would reward him if he wins.' Tsume thought that Reko was not talking about the normal spar but the one where she set a reward for his win.
She assumed that Reko must have wanted to continue from where he had left off, wanting to go all the way with her.
"You mean that.. you naughty boy!!" Tsume grinned as she looked at Reko with a sparkle in her eyes. She began to stretch her body proactively to tease Reko.
"I meant yeah, a spar, but this time I want to fight against two opponents." Reko clarified, feeling wronged that he was taken for a pervert in front of Tsume.
It was not that he did not want to continue with where they had left, but he wanted to try out using his kekkei genkai first. After that, he could maybe..
'Is he underestimating me? No, he knows that I was not going for vitals in the fight.'
"Two opponents? If you want I can go harder in the spar and increase the difficulty." Tsume stopped stretching as she heard Reko wanting to spar against two opponents.
Dissatisfied, that he was not wanting to do That with her ..
She decided that it was time to go harder on the Chunin and show him why she was the head of the Inozuka clan.
"No, just the increase in number would do. Handling you in a serious fight would be too much for me. You can go harder on something else.." Reko said, insisting on the part about fighting against two opponents.
He clearly stated that he would not be able to fight against Tsume in a slightly serious fight. He praised her and flirted while at it.
"Why don't you use a shadow clone? I want to experience fighting two of you. No matter how long I can last!!" Just when Tsume was thinking of searching for a correct partner for Reko to fight, Reko suggested the solution himself.
His eyes were focused on Tsume and his body was in intense concentration, ready to react instinctively.
'I need to activate it the moment she starts to make handsigns. I need to concentrate.' There was no doubt in his eyes that Tsume would accept the proposal to use the ninjutsu. He was pretty sure that she would do it.
Instead, he was worried that he would not be able to use his kekkei genkai at the correct time, and was really tense, ready to activate and use one of his charges.
'Good. I never thought of using Shadow clone jutsu to train a youngster. It would consume my chakra but it's better than finding a Chunin to spar with him.' Tsume thought that she would never have entertained the thought of using a powerful ninjutsu like shadow clone jutsu to train a weaker ninja.
It was surprisingly a very effective method, though it was very extravagant to be used for every subordinate. She only agreed because she had her chakra reserves full and she didn't need to go on a mission.
She brought both of her hands closer to each other, about to make handsigns to mold chakra needed to perform the jutsu.
"Hehe, alright! Shadow clone jutsu!" Tsume grinned as she accepted Reko's proposal, not at all minding the expenditure of chakra needlessly.
'Steal!!' Reko instantly thought of activating his kekkei genkai. The kekkei genkai activated, he could feel a pulse of pervasive energy running inside his body.
