Chapter 6: Attribute Training

I got a really nasty burn from my stupidity. But guess what, I learned a lot from that too. [Quick Learner] definitely is the best.

First thing I found, my body is not adapted to the nature change I'm trying to create. That's why I got burned so bad.

Second thing I found, my body is too weak to even attempt adapting to it. That's just some masochistic selfmutilation for me.

Third thing I found, I need to train my body and make it tough enough to be able to handle nature changes. That got me thinking, what's better than Earth Attributed Chakra to help me toughen up my body.

I really got it easier than other ninjas from Naruto-verse. They spend so much time on just learning how to use more than one nature change, yet here I am. Getting things done by chakra itself.

This got me to my fourth discovery, I need to learn nature changes in series.

First earth to lay a solid base, that is toughening up my body.

Second is water to balance it out and create a layout to soften the blow I'll get from the third nature. Fire.

Man that seems to have left some trauma, but I'm going to try nonetheless.

As I said third will be fire.

Fourth will be wind because that balances out lightning which is the only one left.

Lightning one is more dangerous than wind, that's why I had to make it last one I make an attempt on.

So, with that plan laid out, I decided to start increasing my endurance, stamina, durability training along with Chakra control training. The latter needs to be done consistently everyday, because my chakra just keeps increasing in volume.

I may have learnt perfect chakra control, but that still depends on how much chakra I have.

It's like this. No matter how good of a driver you may be, driving a car and driving a truck will always be different. The bigger the vehicle, the more control you'll need.

After a few days of training I decided to go for the first step. Earth Attribute. Same time, same place.

I crouched down. Started the chakra flow as I did with fire. Then stopped it while keeping that feeling in my mind.

I put both my palms on the ground and started the flow again. This time, in a very controlled manner with small amount of chakra.

As I kept recieving this chakra, I let it flow in my body freely. I realised there's some nature's energy mixing with it but it isn't hurting me, thanks to the third blessing.

The chakra inside my body started to make my body tougher and durable as my body started to be filled with that chakra.

I also noticed that this chakra seems to be more fluid when it's going through Chakra paths or Chakra veins that are closer to or passing through my bones. Makes sense though. That's the closest thing in my body that relates to earth attribute.

After an hour and a half, I decided to try that myself without relying on the ground. It worked. In my palm there's a small pebble that I created by converting my own chakra.

Next step is constantly letting chakra stream through ground from my feet to get better with Earth Attribute. I'm training to learn Senjutsu. Or rather, now that I found that Nature's Energy isn't as violent to me as it's shown in Naruto, I decided to go bonkers with nurturing my body with nature's energy. I'll finally get my growth spurt that I've been waiting for so long!

Anyways next is water attribute.

There's a river nearby. That's where I am planning to train Water Attribute. Partly because I haven't trained Chakra control today and partly because that's the best place where I can absorb nature's energy with water attribute training.

After I reached the river. I removed my clothes because I don't want them to get wet. Then I went to the river bank. Squatted down and put my hands inside water and repeated what I did with Earth Attribute practice. This time as I expected, chakra veins closer or passing through my blood circulatory veins, were easier to flow from for this chakra.

After what it felt like I'm getting the hang of it. I started walking on the river. I tried that on a stream before so I already know how to walk on water. But this time, I have to focus on multiple things.

I have to make sure I don't fall, which already happened almost 4 times by now, and also try to rotate my chakra stream through water from my feet.

It took me two hours to get the hang of it. [Quick Learner] is the best! I'm getting more and more proficient in this so fast as if I've been training in this for years.

Whenever [Quick Learner] is triggered, I can hear myself brainstorming in my head while noting down points that are needed to focus in order to get the hang of the task I've taken to learn. I don't even feel like it's me doing it. Although I do realize it's still me who's doing it when I get exhausted after it's done.

It's getting dark. Scratch that. It is dark. I checked the time, it's half past seven. I'm gonna get scolded. I don't like it at all.

"So, is that what your quirk can do?"

I heard a familiar voice. My aunt's. Does she have tracking quirk or something? How long was she watching me?

"It does a lot more. How did you find me?" I asked after giving a short reply.

"For someone who learnt so much so fast, you really are dense as a diamond. You aren't that deep in the forest. It just took me a wild guess to find where you could be. I watched you fall in the water the moment I reached here, so I decided to rather enjoy the show than calling you. Your expressions were hilarious, hahahaha. Look at this!" She replied with a teasing tone in her voice. She was showing me her phone screen, more specifically the video she made of me.

'I think I should focus on studying about brain a little more now. This won't do. I can't have me being as dense as I am right now.' I thought while looking with a blush from embarassment apparent on my face. It's good that it's dark right now.

"What does your quirk do?"

I asked her with curiosity in my voice.

I didn't ask her to delete it. It doesn't really matter. I know she would never share it with anyone other than family that is limited to Mom.

She is aware of the fact that I want to become a Pro Hero. My quirk getting exposed will be detrimental in that. In fact, she even made sure I was aware of wherever and whenever I use my quirk I make sure to check the surrounding.

I failed here to do so. Guess that's because I was overconfident that nobody would be here other than me? That just reminds me that I'll need to put more efforts in training my sensory abilities.

"I can see spiritual energy around me. I call it spiritual energy because I can see it emitting from only living beings. But that's where it is limited to. I can see that energy, but can't do anything more than that. Yours is way too huge than any other being of your age I've seen in my life. Your quirk seem to be using that energy too. Not in its pure form, but it's still being used." She replied with a serious expression on her face.

This got me stumped. Is she suspecting something about me? I quickly changed my expression with a confused one.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked

"When you were born, I was there. I came here because Yuhi-ne needed someone to take care of her during her pregnancy. From what I could see, among all the newborn kids I've seen, the spiritual energy you were emitting was more than all of them combined. Does that make sense? And since you're using it, I wonder if you understand what it means." She replied.

'Thank god! I thought she suspected something like me being possessed or something.' I thought before replying.

"Ofcourse I'd be doing that! I'm special after all! However, I don't understand what you're talking about with spiritual energy, I just treat it as the energy coming out of my body and use it."

I know she has some questions she wants to ask, but isn't asking for some reason.

"That you are. But how are you going to deal with your mom now?"

That caught me off-guard. I was prepared to get scolded, but I am not gonna get scolded just that easily when I have option in front of me!

"Please help me?" (Genjutsu: Koinu No Me)

"Puppy eyes of that level won't work on me."

'Tch.. Well, atleast I tried.'

"Mom's not that mad at me, is she?"

"Who knows? I certainly, for sure, absolutely don't."

"In that case, I better get home instead of wasting time on you here."

I didn't wait for her reply and used Shunshin no Jutsu to increase my speed and ran towards home. I deliberately kept my speed limited to where Aunty can see me from behind. I know she can see me. I'm a huge lighthouse for her quirk after all. This time I was also using my Kagura Heart Eye to 'watch' her and also to train it. I love my mom and same goes for my aunt. Can't ignore one for the other.

I did get scolded after I reached home, but Mom let me go after I showed her how I learnt using my quirk in some ways and told her how I can save her from drowning now. I know she knows how to swim. But mom is weak to my (Genjutsu: Kawai furi o suru). I am betting on it.

It worked. She started laughing and grabbed me in her arms and started cuddling me. All that sternness went poof! I haven't told her of my goal of being a pro hero yet. That will just bring up memories.

"Tsk... Manipulative brat!" I heard my aunt whispering. So I looked at her and showed her the tip of my tongue.

She pouted and looked away. Damn! I just love teasing her!

Anyways, Now that Earth and Water is done, next is fire because now I have water to restrain it.

I am one step closer to my goal now.

Hey! So I feel like quality of chapter is going down. I just can't seem to get enough ideas to decide the flow of story. So there's a possibility that chapter uploads may be unstable for a few days.

Anyways,
