Jigoku was about 6 years old. Today was the first day of training with papa, and excitement bubbled in his insides in the form of tingly sensations all throughout his stomach and chest. He was edited to finally start his training regimen because he knew it meant lots of alone time with papa, which, nowadays, was a rarity for the young boy. Ji's mother was also there under the pretense that she would not miss the first day of Jigoku's career. Yes... His career as a Shinobi was decided for him at age 6.
His father went over the basics with him. He showed him the basic stances and the proper way to carry oneself in combat. "Good job Jigoku! That was just like your papa's!" The young Uchiha smiled at his mother's praise and he bent his knees in the lowered stance that his father had instructed. It felt uncomfortable at first but he felt more stable on his feet.
"Look papa! Is this right?"
"No. Lower your body more. Tighten your abdomen, and center your weight directly between your feet."
Ji's mother sighed at the words of her husband as the smile on her son's face immediately disappeared. Jigoku fought back tears and lowered himself further. He thought to himself. "No, no tears in front of father. Today is when you make him proud, not when you show him how weak you are. Suck it up!" Ji bit his lip as he forced himself to sink even lower.
