Reborn In The Shinobi World As A Sarutobi 8 8 Progress Before The Entrance Exams And Meeting Kakashi Again

Since I know of the techniques of future Gekko all I did was give him ideas on how to use the regular shadow clone techniques on his sword style to trick and do illusionary tactics while fighting.

Thanks to that we manage to speed up his progress on his Moonlight sword style, creating the future famous "Dance of the Crescent Moon", a technique involving him and two shadow clones simultaneously attacking an opponent with their swords at such high speeds, that they create afterimages, making it difficult to avoid. In the anime, he could even perform the Dance of the Crescent Moon with just a kunai, and still be just as lethal.

During his fight against Baki, Hayate proved to have possessed keen reflexes, as he was able to draw a kunai just in time to block an attack despite being inches away from his opponent and, on several occasions, was fast enough to use his sword to deflect kunai thrown at him, while he was in mid-air.

Hayate also displayed great physical strength and precision in his sword attacks, slicing through and shattering several boulders with only a single strike. The other technique he developed was "Secret Sword: Moonlight" in which he dashes to his opponent with great speed before attacking them with a quick lateral sword strike.

The tremendous speed leaves a trace of afterimage in the process and "Hazy Moon Night" a technique where you swing the sword in a circular motion, leaving a trace of afterimages behind, which befitting to name, mirrors that of a moon. Gekko will then rush at them to deliver a blow, taking advantage of the difficulty in following his movement. Most of his develop techniques depends on physical optical illusion based on speed and weird pattern movements, integrating the basic shadow clone technique makes it one of the trickiest sword styles I have ever seen.

Thanks to the harsh Tai jutsu training he is almost half way accomplishing his goals, meaning this Gekko Hayate will be stronger than the future version I remember of him, maybe in this life time he will become an Elite Jounnin. Also most of his training focus on overall body strength but have specialized speed training for those fast movements on his sword style.

For Kusei, well he is been a little on the slow side, he does manages to keep up on the tai jutsu training but from the looks of it even though Gekko is the one that looks the sickest or out of shape.

Kusei ends up death last and even more tired than Gekko by the end of training. Kusei told me he has been training on his Tai jutsu also at home that's why he gets tired since he did a type of pre workout. As for his sword style we decided to just for him to keep working on the 13 moves from the Shimura style and to also study his genjutsu since he looks like he has allot of talent on that area.

We would later incorporate his genjutsu to his fighting sword style; I decided to pa.s.s on my 8 movements of SwordG.o.d to Kusei for fast improvement which resembles the 13 moves of the Shimura techniques. With that and his genjutsu we will create what Kusei calls it "The Crimson Star Sword Style or for short Kosei sword Style", compared to Moonlight sword style which depends on clones and/or speed to create illusion combine with weird pattern moves. 

Crimson Star Sword style will use sword techniques combine with actual genjutsu while performing attacks, For that we been working with Kusei to help him do genjutsu with only one hand or just one hand sign, just like Haku, who was with Zabuza and could do ninjutsu with one hand.

This actually got the attention of Gekko, so we all three been working on seeing how to do one hand jutsus. Has our other hand would be handling a sword. This will be one of our signature projects to be able to do one hand ninjutsu/genjutsu. In the process both Gekko and me where being taught some genjutsu from Kusei which he excels at.

My dad once pa.s.s by to watch us train and was shock at how harsh our training was. He was impressed at our determination on becoming exceptional shin.o.bi and because of that we had a session with him and he taught us the 1000 shadow shuriken jutsu. He told us this jutsu waste a good amount of chakra but it was minimal to the Bushin Kage no Jutsu, since depending on chakra we could decide about how many shurikens we could output in the attack.

Later on with our combine efforts we manage to pull it off with only one hand tiger hand sign, and added the idea of developing a different version of it where instead you multiply shurikens some would be illusions and some would be real. This project took us about a month and we succeeded thanks to Kusei's adeptness with genjutsu. We created a combination of ninjutsu/genjutsu hybrid and we name it Reality Concept Shuriken jutsu.

Took us about 1 month more to make it possible to pull it off with one hand sign.  As a team we decided we should try to convince my dad to exchange this self-created jutsu in exchange to learn one from the forbidden scroll. The thing was we couldn't figure out what cla.s.sification was our jutsu.

We knew the shadow shurinken jutsu my dad pa.s.s to us was his and was considered a rank jutsu, but ours was derived from it and it could be done with only 1 hand sign compared to his 8 hand sign jutsu, also the requirement was that you could do genjutsu to do this technique and compared to the shadow shurinken our technique wasted less chakra since not all the shuriken where real but illusions mixed between them.

The day finally came as I requested for my dad to watch us train again has an excuse so he could see our progress. Surely we blew his mind when we show him our combine effort and presented the technique to him. Dad cla.s.sified our technique genius, and rank it has a Rank jutsu base on difficulty because you had to have decent genjutsu but efficiency wise he praise it on par with C-rank jutsus since they don't require allot of chakra.

We discuss with him about a 3 hours long about how we came with the idea and what was our thought process. At the end we discuss to him that we wanted to add our techniques to the village has contribution to the Forbidden Scroll and wanted to learn a technique rank equal or compared to it from the Scroll of Secrets. Dad didn't refuse us but warn us that depending on the technique to be consider equal or below for us to learn. For the whole process it took us one whole week to get what we wanted.

Gekko decided to learn the B-Rank technique Bushin Kage no Jutsu even thought at the moment he could only do 4 clones. Kusei decided to learn the rank genjutsu, Kokuangyo no jutsu (Bringer-of-darkness technique). This jutsu creates an area of complete darkness around the victim, enabling the user to attack without being seen. Technique requires a good amount of chakra since is rank but Kusei wanted it to be able in the future use it.

For me I choose "Clone Great Explosion" a technique where the user creates a shadow clone, intending for their opponents to attack the clone at close range. After a certain amount of time has pa.s.sed, the clone detonates, creating a large explosion. If opponents happen to notice that it's a shadow clone they may be able to escape in time, for which reason the user should try to conceal the clone's ident.i.ty and purpose as much as possible. Even though this technique required allot of chakra being rank rank I knew I could totally pull it off.

I choose this technique because you never know when you need to ma.s.sacre a big group specially in a warzone. This would be a nifty trick. My dad did got surprised at my choice and try to dissuade me from it, but I refuse and stuck with my choice. Dad also forbid us to teach this techniques to anyone else and we could not learn the techniques from each other since those where meant as rewards for the contribution and we had 1 choice already and sharing between each other was not allowed.

I really didn't mind since in the first place I did not needed Bushin Kage to learn faster. I was pretty good alredy. But this would totally benefit Gekko, I would show him the potential of this jutsu for developing techniques and to progress in ninjutsu faster, he will still suffer from the back draw of the influx of info once he finishes thought.

( 1 month before the entrance exams)

I got a visit from Kakashi and his father Sak.u.mo. It look like Sak.u.mo brought kakashi for another  friendly spar with swords/blades. He got shock when he came since he arrived to the training ground compound which he was led by my mom Biwako. He saw that we were doing some harsh tai jutsu training, and was shocked/impress just has Kakashi also watched.

Sak.u.mo: "Hi there young Asuma!!" he said has he wave to my direction which where we were doing some push-up training with weights on our backs.

Gekko, Kusei and me all stopped to welcome our guest.

Asuma: "Hi there Mr.Hatake, how are you doing and what brought you today." I said in a friendly tone has some sweat was dripping from my face.

Sak.u.mo:  "Well, I brought Kakashi he been training really hard lately and wanted to test himself again in a kind of rematch if that is ok with you little Asuma."

Asuma: " Sure! I don't mind just give me some 10 minutes to rest I have been doing some training has you can see."

Sak.u.mo:" Sure, since we are imposing after the match why don't I invite you all to eat, I know of a good place where they sell good BBQ its run by one the Akimichi clan they sure know their food. It's on me."

Asuma:" Okay, sure!....Are we going to use the same rules has last time?"

Sak.u.mo: "Yeah, it's a swordsmanship/blade contest after all, right Kakashi?" he said has he turn to his son.

Kakashi:" Yeah I just came to taste my blade technique's,  looks like you been training too has I see."

Gekko:" Guys over there is perfect for you to your match on the open gra.s.s plain or in the woods area but it would be harder for us to see if you decide there." Gekko said has he pointed at the location.

Asuma: "Well you heard it where do you want us to have our match?"

Kakashi: " I will prefer on the woods, since actual combat mostly happens near the woods in most occasions." Kakashi said has he was a.n.a.lyzing the woods area.

Sak.u.mo: "Okay, lets head over there then!" he said enthusiastically.

Kusei: "I am so excited! Last time the fight was awesome and was hard to follow what they were doing but now that I been training I can follow the fight and don't miss anything." Kusei said with a smile.
