8 Chapter 7
Months pass by, using the time I came to this world as my birthday, I finally officially turn 4.
As I spend my days peacefully reading through the Jutsu scrolls, learning more and more about the wonders of Chakra. The Hyuga caretaker still comes in weekly to check up on me but she doesn't inquire too much as I spend most of my time reading.
A few crucial facts about Jutsu that I've learnt these past few months is
Firstly hand signs, Originally I thought hand signs weren't commonplace but in fact, most Jutsu scrolls contained instructions for hand signs, meaning my no hand sign chakra blade was more or less uncommon.
Unfortunately most Jutsu I found myself being unable to use. The cruel fact was my chakra supply wasn't even one-tenth of what I needed for mid-tier jutsu, and still falling short of simple beginner jutsu's like substitution and basic clone jutsu.
Luckily chakra control seems to be my strong point but this is likely due to the fact that those with small chakra pools find it easier to control chakra than those with larger pools.
Removing most ninjutsu I found myself being only able to create chakra strings, they were a surprisingly low-cost ninjutsu technique that allowed me to extend my chakra in threads by a distance while still being able to retrieve it for prolonged use.
The Chakra strings is a technique that is usually used by puppeteers that allow them to control their puppets for combat. Advanced users can transfer their chakra through their strings to create all sorts of effects, a master of this technique can even make their strings invisible therefore unless you feel them with your body, you wouldn't even know that they are there.
Over the past few months, I've been familiarising myself with this technique, It's a handy little trick that can help me grab the keys from a faraway table when I'm sitting down or close a door that I forgot to close without walking back and doing it by hand.
But all these little things are for the sake of training.
One must seek continuous improvement without being satisfied by their current self, hate it, hate your current self and only then can you find improvement.
Sitting in the courtyard I ponder upon the technique of chakra strings, Since I can't learn many techniques I must improve the ones I can use. I can have around five usable strings out at once before I start reaching my limit. But reducing the chakra needed is nearly impossible as multiple conditions have to be met, like its distance and strength before it can be even used.
Sighing deeply I contemplate what to do

Money
If a problem can't be solved using internal methods I must rely on external methods and conveniently I have a backer which can extend their wallet out for my needs.

The chimes near the door ring indicating that the caretaker has arrived for this week
What perfect timing.

Haha, the Hyuga are really a rich bunch. I think as I stare at a mountain of steel wire reaching up to my waistline. Even expenditures that I would consider slightly wasteful I can make to advance my strength.
This steel wiring is a common tool used by shinobi who specialise in making traps, but most shinobi keep at least some on themselves in the case of an emergency.
But I'll use it for a different reason
In order to create chakra threads, one must uphold a certain amount of string durability so it doesn't break during its use but with this steel wiring, I can find chakra cost savings where it doesn't exist.
I grab a roll of wiring and slowly start to infuse my chakra into it, Like a snake being charmed it moves in a slithering pattern. Using my chakra control I make the wire attach itself to the tree from my arm and like a snake, it shoots out grabbing a high up branch.
While the other end of the wiring stays rested in my palm.
Success, all that remains is that I have to train, so it is no different than an extension of my own limb.

Many more months go by, I've been training and learning more about Jutsu. Some might think it's boring but in my eyes, it is no different than a supernatural toy that can entertain me and benefit my future a win-win situation
*ding*
"AAAHH!!!" The young caretaker shrieks with a horrid sound
Eh?
What's going on?
I facepalm at my own stupidity, Being lost in my training I utilised the steel wiring and my own chakra to create a web throughout the entire inside of the household, the reason I didn't do it outside is that I didn't want any passing shinobi to look into it.
Testing my limits in this past week, I myself am quite satisfied with the results. But I better take it down so that the caretaker can do her job.
