The people in the village I live in gave me the name Ningen no buki, when I was born my mom passed away so they didn’t get to choose my name. The meaning of my name is human weapon since that’s what I am. Right now I am six years old, and unlike the other kids my training started as soon as I could walk and hold a sword. While other kids started training when they turn seven I started training at the age of three . There are multiple weapons to learn in the village the most common one is called ‘kunai’ it’s a throwing small sword.
My dad is a king of a small kingdom somewhat close, and the only reason I’m supposed to train so much is to save the village we don’t have much food nor money, and if someone is at the verge of death we don’t have good doctors so they just die. My father sent a letter letting the village know that if my mother gave birth he will claim responsibility and send the village food seeds and good doctor, the letter also said that only if at the age of ten I was a good enough ‘weapon for war’ as he said, and so that’s why they choose to name me Ningen no buki but they just call me Buki.
I’ve mastered more of the weapons but I still have a way to go. The only person that is kind Tom me said that I had my mother’s crystal blue eyes and that hair was prove that I has part of the royal family, Pure white hair that is extremely bright. He talks and talks about how my mother was and how kind she was.
Ever since I was born people treated me like garbage they on gave me food, a bed, and a lot of training time. I mean all I ever do is train in the morning, afternoon, night, and any spare time I have. In the village there are a lot of other kids my age but I can’t play with them because the commander in charge of my training says that ‘it’s not good too slack off when there’s people life in my shoulders,” so I do as he say and keep on training until it’s twelve in the morning so I can have time to sleep I wake up at six, and my training begins all over again that’s been my life for three years.
My schedule is wake up ate six in the morning, eat whatever food the villagers bring me at 6:10 , stretch at 6:30, go for a run four two hours without stop so until 8:30, star my work out until 9:30 in the morning, start on hand combat until it’s 12:00 o’clock, lunch break until it’s 12:30 o’clock, practice my swordsmanship until it 7:00 in the night, and it is practice my other weapon until it’s 12:00 in the morning, the last thing I do is go to sleep until it’s six in the morning, and the it just repeats until I turn ten.
Well that’s enough about me let’s get to the real fun.
“Buki you dumb child you’ve been learning how to wield a sword for almost four years, yet you can’t block one single blow,” said the commander in charge of me. “I’m sorry sir,” I said with a shaking voice, “you useless brat do it again.” Wosh woshh the wood hit each other again and again. I can lose this time if I do I’ll get shouted at I can’t lose not again, woshh wosh, “Come on you child show me what you got don’t make me waste my time on you.” The commander said to me, This is the final two blows just block and hit.
Finally I have Finally won my commander at the sword I was so happy. “Now do it again until you can do it with your eyes close,” he said. I was already really good at using the sword I had won everyone in that village except for the commander in charge of me, but that had finally changed. Now I had to even better to increase my reaction speed and my reflexes with the sword. I kept on practicing and practicing over and over again until I was better than the last time.
I had finally been able to beat all the swordsman in the village at the same time, and only at age of six if I keep on getting better it’s said that my father will come earlier to get me. I was thinking. “Buki stop zooming out only cause you have one everyone here doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement.” Said my commander as cold as ever, “yes sir,” “tomorrow is your seventh birthday right Buki.” “ yes sir,” “tomorrow you will take a test so that the village can see how much you’ve improved.” He said and left I was scared the whole village was going to be there.
It was 11:00pm and my commander said to get some extra sleep for tomorrow, so I went to sleep science I was so tired. In the morning I woke up at six in the morning and I rush to the field where I was going to do my test. “Buki ready let’s get the test started,” said my commander. “Finally your actually useful,” I heard the villagers say, “ I mean if we’re going to have to take care of him, he has to at least be able to do his job properly.” Said some other villagers. I didn’t let their words get to me I only have to wait one more so that I can help them. Even if the village doesn’t like me I want to help so that no one else here has to suffer. I should go back and keep on practicing so that I can get better like the village wants.
I was practicing my martial are arts with an a clone of shadow that helps on practicing. Then this kids from the village came and started to push me.
