Nothing Special

Chapter 57

Aceso felt herself falling off the rope once more, she headed straight for the water, then before she was even halfway there, she felt someone catch her bridal style and they landed on the ground. She looked up to see Rock Lee. His eyes were closed from smiling really big. In the short amount of time, he's gotten out of the hospital, he's gotten stronger at a rapid rate.

" Thanks, Lee," Aceso thanked him.

" I'm here to protect," Lee laughed as he tilted his head.

" What are you doing here?" Aceso asked.

" Gai-sensei said Kakashi-sensei and you were training here today," Lee answered as he opened his eyes. " We just finished up training and thought to stop by."

" Where's Tenten?" Aceso asked.

" She's done with training for today," Lee answered as he finally put her down. " We are going to continue."

" But first chow time," Kakashi instructed before getting out of the tree. They all gathered around, sat on a fallen tree trunk ate food that Gai-sensei and Lee brought. 

" What kind of training are you doing today Kakashi?" Gai asked.

" Balance," Kakashi answered as Aceso looked up at the rope.

" How youthful," Gai laughed

" I would like to train on my balance as well!" Lee proposed as he raised his hand. " It will help me become a splendid ninja."

" Excellent idea Lee!" Gai said with a smile, his teeth shined. After they finished eating Aceso and Lee start on two separate ropes side by side as Gai and Kakashi stood on the two separate tree branches observing. Lee started off the way she did, kept trembling and falling over. Aceso had got back on her hands and was able to balance.

" Now walk," Kakashi ordered. Aceso breathed took a breath, and picked up a hand letting the air out, she immediately fell over. After she resurfaced from the water, she on the edge of the river and stared up at the ropes catching her breath.

" It's become more difficult hasn't it?" Kakashi asked.

" Yeah," Aceso breathed as Lee splashed into the water. She looked back at their teachers.

" With the power of youth, you shall balance on one hand in no time!" Gai shouted, he gave a thumbs up and a smile. Aceso looked back up at the rope, one hand...seemed impossible.

" Not giving up are you?" Lee asked. Aceso looked to see that he was next to her, staring up.

" Strategizing," Aceso answered. The two went back up, Lee finally managed to get totally balance, now he trying to balance on one hand, Aceso was still struggling major with it.

" I say that's enough for today," Kakashi said.

" We are not done," Lee insisted as he was dangling from the rope with one hand.

" A good night of rest will embrace more youth to use tomorrow during training," Guy informed.

" YOUTH!" Lee yelled as he let go of the rope and went into the water. They went in for the rest of the night, Aceso lay in her bed staring out the window. All she had to do tomorrow was make medicine, but what she really wanted to do was train more. She got up and walked over to her cabinets and pulled out the things she needed. 

" Balance," Aceso said. " Balance is keeping both sides even, both sides at peace, if it's uneven then everything falls." Aceso's hands accidentally knocked a jar off the shelf, it fell onto her and she fell onto the floor. " Ow." She looked back at her bookshelf and saw that they were being held up by each other. She took the jar off her and crawled over to the bookcase. She carefully removed the books so only two stood up.
