Ice Release: Domain of Ice Rings.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A/N: I have decided to edit the first chapter.
I was thinking to make some changes
--- mostly those that don't affect the story till now.
I want to ask if I should do it as I'm feeling a bit unsure on:
Should I change 2nd wish to Dragon Sage Mode (this has the most votes)
--- The original wish is dojutsu switching.
Another main change will be how Aki gets to the Naruto world and his abilities.
I am going to change it to Spin a wheel.
--- 1st wheel to choose anime world (Naruto world in our case)
--- 2nd to choose character template (Kaguya in our case)
-===-===-===-===-===-
VOTE FOR THIS:
--- 3rd to choose a special technique related to eyes (Dojutsu switching)
OR 3rd wheel to choose the sage mode(Dragon in our case).
-===-===-===-===-===-
--- 4th and final wheel for defense mechanism (Anti-theft[passive] in our case)
as you can see nothing much really changes.

Question: Which character's stats should I put next?

LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Everyone listen up" Aki once again clapped as it was time to introduce the new training. "I will be creating a circular Ice platform with incomplete rings around with one of my jutsu"
"The goal of this training is to reach the final ring without stopping at any of the rings on the way"
"I was planning to ask you to show us a jutsu," Kaito said at those words, excitement re-painted his eyes, "you have Ice Release Kekkei Genkai too?"
Sayuri and Ryuu were also looking at Aki with anticipation.
"I have every release possible in the world" Aki shrugged as if it was a very normal thing.
"But before we begin let's move a bit further so mountains don't hinder us, don't worry and follow me, I'll keep the water reinforced till we reach far enough."
Aki's safe zone was around 15m in radius and he asked his students to move 12m away from him before he started in case, he accidently froze them in ice.
"Time to begin."
Aki put his hand on the water and started to use his Ice Release to freeze a 10m radius around him. He did it very slowly for more precision with the technique.
A circular platform of Ice soon appeared with Aki at the epicenter. His technique was still rough with C-rank mastery over ice-release which made it take a minute to complete the platform.
With a central circle of ice formed Aki called out to his student, "Come on the platform" It took every ounce of control for Aki to keep the water reinforced and turn a part of it into ice.
Of course, If Aki injected his massive chakra in blindly, this would have gone much faster, but for the sake of precision, he chose to go slower.
At Aki's words, the three moved onto the circular platform now made of Ice, making them mentally more relaxed than standing on reinforced water.
"Finally, no more worries" Sayuri commented with her feet finally touching solid ice.
Aki then moved 100 meters away from the platform without needing to use chakra to reinforce a water zone around him anymore.
Water started to freeze under his feet till it was wide enough for 5 carriages to simultaneously move on it, side by side. Aki moved in a circle around the central platform and formed a ring around it.
Aki left 3 gaps in the ring. Aki then connected each of the resulting arc shaped ice platforms, if they were without gaps they would form a complete circular ring, to the central circle using two and a half-meter-wide ice road.
Repeating this process four more times with each ring doubling in distance in between each. Aki completed the training area.
Ice roads connecting the rings to previous rings increased in number as he moved further. The process resulted in creating a training area completely made of Ice.
The first ring was set a good distance from the central circular platform, about the length of a football field.
The second ring stretched twice as far, forming a wider boundary around the first. As the rings expanded, the gaps grew even larger—the third ring lay far beyond the second, nearly half a kilometer away.
Finally, the fourth and outermost ring circled the area at an impressive distance, far enough that it seemed like a small dot on the horizon compared to the center.
The entire structure was inspired by the map of Atlantis that had left quite an impression on Aki in his previous life.
The end result looked like a dart or an archery target if viewed from the sky. Like a dot surrounded by circular rings. You could even think of it as similar to patterns on a Rinnegan.
Aki returned to the center, where his students were already sizing up the area.
"Each ring is a milestone," Aki explained. "You'll walk across the water to reach each ring, and for those of you feeling confident, the gaps between the sections allow you to skip ahead."
Ryuu raised an eyebrow. "And if we fall into the water?"
Aki smirked. "If your chakra control falters and you fall, you'll have to swim back to the central platform and start again. Consider it a reset."
Kaito grinned. "So, it's like a game, with each ring as a new stage?"
"Exactly," Aki said with a grin of his own. "But it's not an easy game. The farther you go, the harder it gets. That's why I built the connecting ice roads. If you fall in, you can swim to the nearest road and walk back to the start."
Sayuri studied the rings, already calculating her strategy. "So, no jumping—just walking from one ring to the next?"
"Right," Aki confirmed. "You need to maintain your chakra control. Hesitation will only slow you down and make you lose momentum. Keep moving, or you'll fall."
Ryuu crossed his arms, eyeing the growing gaps between the rings. "Skipping rings saves time, but if you miscalculate, you'll slip."
"Exactly," Aki said. "This training isn't just about reaching the final ring—it's about controlling your chakra and trusting yourself. Skip rings only when you're truly ready."
Kaito cracked his knuckles, grinning with his usual confidence. "Skipping sounds good to me. I'm aiming for the first ring right now."
Sayuri rolled her eyes. "You always act first and think later."
Kaito shot her a playful grin. "That's why I'm still the fastest."
Ryuu gave a small smirk. "Just don't fall in before you even reach 100 meters."
Aki chuckled, amused by their banter but kept his focus. "Alright, Kaito, since you're so eager, you'll go first."
Confidence was one thing but Aki knew their talk was just wishful thinking, forget 100 meters they wouldn't even be able to walk on water for 5 meters.
Kaito stepped forward with confidence already applying chakra to his feet and left the icy platform.
SPLASH.
The kid plunged into the water as soon as his second feet touched the water utterly failing on the first challenge.
Even Ryuu and Sayuri did not expect the challenge to be so hard for Kaito. 'It's harder than it looks' they both thought at the same time.
A hand came out of the water at the edge of the platform and grabbing Ice Kaito climbed up, "Why is this so much harder as second stage training for chakra control?"
"Because it's the change of state from solid to liquid" Aki answered, "walking on air is the next stage and even now I have not yet mastered it."
Aki felt like his intention could be misunderstood so he added, "We'll go for a mission and do ninjutsu training after you're done with water walking."
"Yay," Kaito shouted at those words and was determined to try again.
All three of them walked to the edge and started simultaneously and unsurprisingly fell into the water on the first step.
"This is gonna take a few months" Aki sighed watching his students make zero progress in hours.
Aki clapped to bring their attention to him after they had been on it for 2 hours and looked completely exhausted, "Let's take a lunch break, and rest on the central platform I'll be back in a jiffy"
With those words Aki disappeared and returned back in 20 minutes with lunch, clearly, he wasn't going to cook on the ice he made.
After they rested and regained some energy by eating, Aki started talking again. "if it kept this way, it would take too long for you guys to make progress"
"You bet" Kaito looked down and continued, "but you don't have to be a bitch about it"
"Don't interrupt" Aki said with a few veins popping over his forehead, "I'm going to show you how it's done. I'll use lightning release chakra so you can see how I mold my chakra to walk on water."
"Oh?" Sayuri asked this time, "So, you now want us to imitate that way and learn to do it?"
"Yes, that is my intention, after seeing how it's done, you guys should be able to grasp it faster" Aki answered.
"That's it," Kaito grinned mischievously, "We were missing on a game tutorial"
"Using the terms I introduced against me, eh?" Aki teased Kaito and continued, "Sure, if that's how you see it"
"I'll walk full circle around the platform so you guys have ample time to take notes" Saying this Aki got up and started walking towards the water.
Once he left the edge and his feet touched the water's surface, Aki started applying chakra's nature transformation to lightning.
It was an elemental transformation of chakra that would make it harder to maintain as water conducts electricity, this disperses lightning so you need to control it more to maintain it.
Aki chose the lightning chakra nature for this endeavor because it was the main release of the village and the brightest element.
Ryuu, Sayuri, and Kaito paid full attention and Sayuri even took out a scroll to take notes. They did not want to repeat the disaster an hour prior.
"I can change it into wind or earth release as well to make it easier for you even further" Aki offered.
"If you can do that it would be great for both as a future reference if we master those elements in the future and for our current training" Sayuri requested with her own logic added.
Aki did not hesitate and changed the lightning chakra on his feet to wind at first and then to earth so they could observe it further.
The chakra without transformation applied is normally invisible unless you manage to do a Rasengan-level shape transformation. Rasengan is colored blue.
(A/N: while manga used 3 colors for Rasengan: Yellow, Orange, and Blue. Anime was more consistent with blue so I'm choosing consistency.)
Aki left the water after the demonstration was done. "Your turn," he told his teammates to continue training and started reinforcing Ice yet again as he would do from time to time.
'This can totally work as Ice Release training,' Aki mused to himself.
"Alright, I'll go first," Sayuri walked forward after saying those words and as she reached the edge, she looked at her notes again before storing the scroll.
Kaito looked contemplative as if he were gathering his thoughts and creating a virtual image of himself walking on water.
Ryuu put his feet into the water and started walking a bit clumsily while Sayuri was hesitating.
~~ Time skip no Jutsu: Minor technique skipping 2 months ~~
Two months had passed in the blink of an eye, and Aki's team of friends would train walking on water every day. It was finally the day when they mastered the technique.
"I'll go first," Ryuu said as he went to the edge of a now very well-made and smoother ice platform applying chakra to his feet, he started walking over the ocean water.
Ryuu walked slowly and gracefully, he did not turn it into a jog or a run, but slowly walked through the gap between the two arcs of the first ring and kept walking till the gap of the 2nd.
Like so, Ryuu traversed all the way, a few kilometers of distance and successfully completed the challenge.
The next one to take up the challenge was Kaito, he also followed Ryuu's example and walked with ease to almost the entirety of the way, only faltering once but saving himself before he could plunge into the water.
Sayuri was the only one left and she made it look even easier. All 3 had seen Aki walking on water this way and determined not to stop before they could do it too.
"Finally! Well done" Aki commented standing a few meters ahead on a small platform made of ice just under his feet.
His rough application of Ice-release had now turned into a technique he named "Ice Release: Domain of Ice Rings"
