18 - Academy days 3

After 1 month, We were some what learned how to basic movements of taijutsu. I were able to do leaf training exercise for about hour with least chakra wastage. But its still there. When Daikoku sensei saw that we were able to do leaf training exercise for about 15 min in 1 week, he told us that when we would able to do it for at least an hour at 1 tanketsu than move onto hand tanketsu and than legs. We don't need to do it for all tanketsu points as ninja mostly use, head, legs and hand tanketsu points.

And after 1 more month, only i was able to do head tanketsu for 1 hours. But others are not that much behind. And once we are able to do it at 1 point, other points become easy. But i am still behind in levels of Chakra. My chakra level is still tenth of lowest chakra level civilian students. I need to intensify my physical training and gain better control over my body. Only then will I be ready to begin learning the techniques of Ikki and Allan, start practicing Itto Shura, and Itto Rasetsu. Edelweiss's Twin Wings style is even more challenging. It demands flawless control over breathing, hand and leg movements, and core strength. Currently, I am still far from achieving that level of mastery.

Daikoku Sensei, Started lecture for today. But its different than chakra training one. This time its about hand seals.

"Okay kids, as you were getting some what proficient in chakra control training. We can start with Hand Seals."

At this sentence, sensei got everyone's full attention, He started laughing at that. He knows every kid one to do jutsus.

"Watch and hear closely. Let's see, There is 12 basic hand seals. And Every jutsu is combination of sequence of this hand seals. Like this, " He did some hand seals and one more Daikoku Sensei appeared.

I knew this is world of naruto, but still, this is absurd!

"This is Bunshin no Jutsu. Which is one of requirements of gradutating from Academy. So make sure you all learn this."

"Now 12 hand seals are, " as He named them he started showing us,

"Rat (Ne), Ox (Ushi), Tiger (Tora), Hare (U), Dragon (Tatsu), Snake (Mi), Horse (Uma), Ram (Hitsuji), Monkey (Saru), Bird (Tori), Dog (Inu) and Boar (I)."

AS he was saying this, he showed every hand sign.

"They help with properly summoning and molding chakra. As i showed before clone technique requires 4 hand signs: Tiger -> Boar -> Ox -> Dog. As you practice molding chakra, there is a way to decrease number of signs from 4 to 1."

Every one nodded at that. 

"For this month, you have to practice every hand seal so you can identify and do it easily. Lets start with 'Rat' sign. Every one do that."

And like that he made us do every sign and how it molds chakra. Even Chikako, did every sign carefully. This is first time, he is doing something without being laze around.

"Sensei, Chikako changed his surname from 'Nara' to 'Might'." 

Not much people understand it. But Sensei understood and started laughing hard at that. Even Chikano didn't understood it. 

"What do you mean?"

"You will understand in future."

Sensei: "Yes Chikano, You will understand in future and afterwards you will run behind 'Ikki' for killing him."

I got shocked. Maybe i took Joke to far. Sensei seeing my face started laughing again. And like this lesson of hand signs continued for next month.
