Training

[AUTHOR: Guys this chapter will be like a filler episode. Hope you guys can read with the patient and comment on your views]

"Draw!?" Both Shikamaru and Asuma Sensei didn't accept this answer from me.

Draw in Shogi was like getting a water droplet from the desert sand. That's how rare it is in Shogi. But this isn't the same for chess.

"So you guys have to be careful even if you are winning stage, Anyway it's your first time so don't worry. It's already getting late so I will be going. See you Shikamaru, Asuma Sensei" with that I left.

"I also better be going. See you tomorrow Sensei", that Shikamaru also left. With that, the day comes to an end.

Next-Day..........

In the training ground...

"Sensei", Asuma can hear a loud voice. He turned his head only to see Ino running from a distance.

"Sorry, Sensei I got late" Ino made a sorry pose.

Asuma, "It's ok. Can we start your training?".

"Yes" with that Ino showed her affirmation.

Asuma, "Ok. Let's start. Ino you can be specialized in mind-affecting techniques because of your bloodline, such as the Mind Body Switch Technique, which allows you to possess a target and take control of their actions. You can also use this technique on animals for reconnaissance and espionage, as it was originally intended. However, your body is left vulnerable to attack while the technique is active, and therefore it is not very suited for battle".

"You are correct Sensei", Ino nodded her head. She seriously followed the Asuma Sensei's words.

Asuma, "Even though it is very rare to use in battle I want you to train this technique since it can also be used during the pursuit. How long can your mind can stay in an animal which is the easiest target compared to a powerful shinobi?".

"I don't know Sensei. I hadn't test my limits before.", Ino shooked her head left and right while answering.

Asuma Sensei paused for few seconds before went into deep thinking.

Asuma, "Ok. First let test your limits today before moving to the part of improving the technique".

Ino, "Ok sensei. Let's do as you say".

Asuma," And also bring Shikamaru and Sakura to my house so that I can simultaneously train them with you".

"Ok Sensei", that Ino left to call both Shikamaru and Sakura to the Asuma Sensei's house.

A few minutes later Shikamaru and Sakura arrived with Ino at the Asuma Sensei's house.

They went in.

Asuma Sensei,"First Ino. For testing your limits I want you to enter my mind. Don't worry I will not give any restriction towards you while you enter my mind. I want to see how much time you can endure even without my restriction. Ok, let's start".

With that Asuma, Sensei sat before the Ino without moving making it convenient for her to use the Mind Transfer Jutsu.

Ino made a triangle shape with both of her hands.

"Mind transfer Jutsu" with that she entered the Asuma Sensei's mind. Her body fell to the ground without any support.

"Sensei did the Jutsu work?", a voice came from the Asuma Sensei's body.

After looking here and there she understood that she was in Asuma sensei's body.

"Shikamaru look I am in Asuma Sensei's body. I am cool right?", that she made a cute pose in Asuma Sensei's body.

Shikamaru, "What a drag".

In both Shikamaru and Sakura's mind, there is only thing after seeing the cute pose in Asuma Sensei's body,' Hope I never see this again.

Poor Asuma Sensei.

But Ino's mind transfer technique didn't even last for 5 minutes before her own mind enters her own body. Asuma Sensei regained his senses.

Ino, "I didn't expect this to happen this fast", while patting her own head she said.

Ino was only in the starting stage of the 'Mind Transfer Jutsu' so there won't be much time for her to control an elite ninja-like Asuma Sensei.

Asuma Sensei, "It's ok Ino. I just gave a little resistance at the last second towards your mind to see if you can withstand it but I guess it's not. On the other hand, I think there won't be any problem for you to enter the animal body and to control it freely for more time".

with that Asuma Sensei brought a cat out of nowhere and said, "This time I want to test the limit of your Mind Transfer technique in this cat".

Ino, "Ok. Sensei."

With that, she entered the mind of the cat and started to stroll around the Asuma Sensei's house. it was like a test trial for her.

Asuma Sensei then turned his attention towards Sakura.

Asuma Sensei, "Next you Sakura. I know you don't have any special bloodline like Ino but there is no need to worry. I heard from Iruka Sensei that you are good at studies and written exam".

[AUTHOR: Don't forget guys that Sakura used her own memory to solve the Chunin written exam problems while Ino used her Mind Transfer Jutsu to copy the Sakura's answer".

Sakura, "Yes Sensei. I am good at studies".

Asuma Sensei, "Then everything is good. I brought some textbooks for you while mainly focused on the basic chakra and chakra controls. For now, you can read this book, It will help you to improve faster in the future".

with that Asuma, Sensei gave her the book which he was holding in his hands.

Sakura received the book with great interest as if her eyes were sparkling. She opened the book to refer to the index and started to read the introduction part.

Asuma Sensei, "If you have any doubt regarding the book you can ask me any time in the future".

Sakura slightly lifted her head above and returned back to her studying pose after a slight nod.

At last Asuma, Sensei turned towards Shikamaru.

Asuma Sensei," Shikamaru why don't we have another game in chess since the last game ended in an unexpected draw? We can make some bet in this game".

After the word bet, Shikamaru got slightly interested.

Shikamaru,"ok" with that both of them started to play another game of chess.

The day ended just like that. Ino also returned to her original body at the end of the day. As expected there is no problem for her to control the cat and the time limit seems to be good.

[AUTHOR: Sakura will be trained by Asuma not Kakashi so there will be changes in her training]
