Third Person POV:

"This is a fucking mess."

Right now Y/n, Haku, and Zabuza returned home as they have one month before the final round. They now know who they are going to face off as it came more attention of who Y/n is going to face.

"Great, now brat is going to face off against that sand brat. The one who put that kid in a state where he can no longer be a ninja." Zabuza grumbled. Haku was more worried about Y/n then his match against Sasuke. He still need to train as it would be notice that Sasuke will be informed and he know that Sasuke would want to have a rematch.

"Zabuza..." Y/n mumbled, he never seen him like this. Normally he would grunt or have a serious face, now he still does have that facial expression but his tone was different. He understand why that Zabuza was acting like this. Because of Gaara's move, Lee might be unable to keep on his dream on becoming a shinobi.

"I'll be fine." Haku and Zabuza quickly turn to see Y/n was smiling at them. "While I'll be facing someone who's one of the strongest person I've face, I have some advantages. I know what he's capable of, and I know his weakness. He always relies on his sand, and his sand can't keep up with high speed moves. I get him away from the sand, then I can get him." Y/n explained.

Zabuza nodded as he smirked, causing Y/n to blush. Since he rarely see Zabuza without his mask, so it still take by surprise and now seeing his face he was blushing. 'His face is like a shark! So cool!' Y/n squealed in thought.

"Well, if anything we now know who are opponents. Now, the question to you two is this. What are you going to do now you know your opponent?" Zabuza ask his pupils and roommates. Haku and Y/n look at each other, thinking of a way to answer.

"I need to improve on my versatilities. There are times that I want to use my mirrors, but I know that Sasuke is planning on a counter move. That's why, I want you to train me Zabuza." Haku stated, Zabuza's eyes widen from the confront. However that made him smirk as he chuckled. 

"It seems that you got some balls. You have one hour." Zabuza said as Haku nodded as he was ready for training. "Brat...I can only teach you sword techniques. I don't know what your style is but we'll work on your sword." Y/n smiled as he just wave at them. "Ara ara, it's no problem. If anything I was going to ask you if you can teach me some sword moves. I need to work on my style and I think on working on swords tomorrow!" Y/n smiled.

Zabuza nodded, "If you need us, me and Haku will be at the closest training ground." Y/n nodded as he went to the door as he grabbed his sword. He decided to head out a little more as he wanted to give some alone time.

"Well, guess who's your sensei for the day~"

'...Oh no.'

They went to the training ground as Y/n pulled out his sword. He set it down as he was gonna let Chomei be his sensei for the time being. "Alright, what do I need to do?" Y/n ask, normally he would ask mentally but since there's nobody there he can ask freely.

"Give me 100 water jump rope skips!"

"100 water jump rope skip?!" Y/n said in shock. He can feel Chomei shaking his head 'yes' as he felt like he would die before he would even have a chance to challenge Gaara. He walk where the river is as he takes a deep breath. Channeling his chakra to his feet, he tries to do jump rope skip while standing on the water.

He could only do twenty jumps before he lost his balance and fell into the water. "Ack!" He quickly got himself out of the water as he was on the ground coughing hard. He decided to take off his hoodie because of it getting more wet then it is.

"Ho? So my guess is right, you're the child of my fallen friends."

Y/n look up as his eyes widen. The voice was new as it must mean that the person wasn't from this village. It sounded like a male voice as it was deep, but yet it was a mixture of dominance and clarity. But what caught him was that this person was able to catch him off guard. Even Chomei didn't alert him that someone was coming. Y/n turn but only to meet someone's stomach. He look up as his eyes slowly widen.

The man is a hulking figure compare t o the villagers, or yet compare to some of the shinobis he meet. He is probably one of the tallest shinobi, easily towering over his senseis. He has a powerfully built structure and is extremely muscular. He has spiky black hair and a prominent scar running horizontally across his forehead. What Y/n caught is that he has white eyes with no visible irises or pupils, making him know that he's blind.

His outfit is similar to what his parents wore. His outfit is a black and white uniform, with an olive green happi draped over his shoulders. The collared frame of the happi contains the kanji for the Japanese Nianfo/Shin Buddha chant from the top-down, along with the separate kanji all over cloth at the back. He also sports a large-beaded necklace around his neck and he's carrying ojuzu.

'His outfit, it's similar to Okaasan and Otousan.' Y/n analyze in thought. However there was another thing in his mind. 'He's so tall! How is that possible! So cool!' 

"Konnichiwa, I'm sorry to be front but...do you know my parents?" Y/n ask, tilting his head. He see the man nodding his head as he move his hands, causing the beads to shake. "Yes, we we're together in missions. Oh dear, I'm sorry. I didn't introduce myself.'

Y/n panic as he sees the man crying. He didn't want to be the cause of him crying as he gentle wiped off the tears. "P-Please don't cry. I didn't introduce myself either so we're both at fault." Y/n said as he made an excuse so the man wouldn't cry.

"So kind. You're just like Mitsuri, but I can see that you have the monster inside of you." Y/n's eyes as he was taken back a little. "H-How...W-What are you talking about?" Y/n try to play it off. If his lucky, he would get away his stuttering as he know that the man is blind. Meaning that he wouldn't be able to see his facial expression.

"I can see the chakra and the spirit flying all over you." He answered as Y/n was confused by his answer. 'He's blind, but yet he said that he can see my chakra? Is this his kekkei genkai?' Y/n guessed in thought.

"What is your name child?" He ask as Y/n guessed that if he was friends or close allies with his parents, then he can trust them. "My name is Y/n Kanroji Kocho. Can I know your name?" Y/n answer as he also ask. "My name is Gyomei Himejima. But you can call me Gyomei sensei." The man name Gyomei answered.

"What do mean by calling you sensei?" Y/n ask. "I hear that you are advancing to the final round of the Chunin Exam. So I'm going to be you're sensei for the time." Gyomei explained. Y/n smiled as he was excited that he would have a sensei that can help him with his style.

"Thank you, Gyomei Sensei!" Y/n smiled, he see Gyomei started to cry as he started to panic.

"So kind."

Time Skip Jutsu:

"Before I train you, I want to know you a little." Gyomei explained as Y/n nodded. "Tell me child, what are your strengths?"

Y/n was thinking as he tries to come up with an answer. "I'm mainly good at Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. I can do some Genjutsu but that's only when I use Insect style." Y/n answered as Gyomei nodded, "Please explain your weakness."

'He's so kind!' Y/n complimented in his thought. "When using Taijutsu, I mainly use my sword. Without it I don't have that much hand-to-hand combat." Y/n explained as he think further. "Also, all of my Ninjutsu and Genjutsu are long or midrange. Insect is really the only close range."

"Ho..." Gyomei said. He rubbed his beads as he look up. "I have one more question. Do you have good Chakra control?" He question as Y/n nodded, but he forgot that he's talking to a blind person. "Yes, I have good Chakra control."

"But I witness you fell into the water." Gyomei said being confuse. Y/n remember as he felt it stabbing him. "I can tell that you have good control, but I see that your sensei didn't train you properly. So sad, a promising shinobi to be train by such a sensei."

Y/n can wince by the "kind" insult that Gyomei just said. "We'll start with Chakra control. There's a lady that I know who use this method. Please watch..." Gyomei stood up as he put the beads at one of his hand. He walk where the tree is, using his other hand that doesn't have the beads. He pushed the tree as it started to fall down where the roots came out.

Gyomei turn where Y/n's eyes widen as it would look like his eyes were sticking out. "We'll build you up where you can do this. Run around the forest forty times, then we can start."

Y/n was huffing a little as he now know his other weakness, he doesn't have the best stamina. "G-Gyomei...Sensei, I'm back..." Y/n's eyes widen as he witness something that he never saw. "I'm so proud, you arrived faster then I thought." Gyomei greets him and are shocked to see him standing tiptoe on burning ground while balancing logs and boulders on his shoulders.

"Welcoming...to my training ground."
