Chapter 5 - New technique (1/2)

”No, it won't work.” Says Nori sitting in his courtyard with a pencil in beetween his fingers while scribbling on a parchment with a slightly frustrated expression.

He had been practicing ”Shave” for seven days in a row, but for two days he had been stuck on the fifth step..

During this week his speed had already improved considerably but every time he tried to take six steps, his reflexes couldn't keep up with his speed, making him unable to progress.

Finally he sighed before rolling up his scroll and putting it in a drawer.

”Now while we wait to find a solution for *Shave* let's start developing ”Storm Leg” techniques.”

*Tok* *Tok* *Tok*

But then a noise at the door disturbed him.

”Who could it be?” Said he before approached the door and after opening it, he look in front of him stood a ninja wearing a mask with a large envelope that he handed to Nori.

Nori, although slightly surprised, recovered the envelope from the masked's ninja's hand, who left silently immediately after.

After reading the contents of the envelope, Nori was overjoyed, the content was quite simple

”Genin Nori Hisamatsu, number: B-649-K, your request was accepted after your recent contributions on the battlefield, you can have access to a tier A, B or C ninjutsus of your choice.

Konoha Administration.” ”Great!” Said he with joy.

Then, after dressing in official dress, he left his home and went to the Konoha administration.

He easily entered the building and after presenting the validation letter of his application, an old man in his fifties at the reception accompanied him in an underground room, guarded by a dozen ninjas.

Then the old man gave him a scroll and asked him.

”What technique do you want?”

Nori's eyes quickly scanned the list, reading the different techniques information.
