39 - Progress in training

Two weeks gone by since I started learning tree walking exercise. I have had great success in it. But main issue is my chakra. Because of constant training body and meditation, i was able to increase my chakra, but in compare to normal kids its still 1/10.

Compare to chakra demons like Naruto I am nothing. As I remember, Kakashi said to Naruto, "You have 100 times chakra as me.". And if i were to compare myself to Kakashi, Kakashi has 100 times chakra as me. Now i have only 1 option to reduce my chakra usage, Remove leakage of chakra as much as possible, and increase it simultaneously.

Past month, me and Chikako, we also added katas training in our schedule, so we won't perform badly. But still its quite normal practical exam. And each class member can already perform Kawarimi no Jutsu, so failing in practicals gonna be very difficult. For, me and Chikako, theoretical part is easy, as we both are quite genius in studying.

After two weeks of constant practicing finally something new happened. Chikako who is constantly training in Kenbunshoku no Haki past 2 months finally able to dodge a ball. After his training is completed,

Chikako: "Yes, I was able to get intent from the ball."

"Congratulations, You dodged one ball out of 200 balls i have thrown you. [I smiled cheekily at that]. You finally entered starting line for this technique. So don't be too happy. But its still nice result. You got technique down quite faster than I imagined. In future, you will know its applications. And trust me you will thank me at that time."

Chikako: "Got it."

"Now you can continue your personal training. And practice your katas. You are quite bad in basic taijutsu Katas."

Chikako said sarcastically: "Ya Ya, got it."

And he started doing his clan technique training and i started practicing Tree climbing exercise. I need to find a way, so that I can increase my chakra control on higher level, so there can be as little leakage as possible. Once I become confident in my chakra control, I will start training with Shunshin and Genjutsu: Increase in hand length.

After 20 mins, My chakra got exhausted, so I started my body training and basic kenjutsu exercise. It takes only, 20 min for my chakra to exhaust so i was able to squeeze it in my training, otherwise, it will be quite hard to find time for practicing tree climbing exercise. 

About results of my body training, my total body control has reached 30%. After this i need to get control of my heart, lungs and other internal organs. Why Internal organs, they are crucial part in fighting capabilities. Some organs help actively in training and fights and other help passively. And about gaining control over them, its because if possible i want to get control over them so if my vital organs are hit, and i can't dodge attack with my body, i want to shift positions of my internal out of harms way. There is other advantages also. Like increased stamina, metabolism, etc. 

My Hand and legs control has reached staggering 90%. And about my core control its increased up to 50%. It was quite hard to increase my core strength and gaining control over it, I had to do all core exercises with my bokuto attached to my body. And of course i adjusted its weight according to my body requirement. Because of my body strength and its control increasing, I am confident, I will be able to master Rekkou in duration of academy vacation, but its still in future. For now I should increase my time in practicing katas.

Talking about Rekkou, I was able to leave small crack in stump. Its still small, but i can see progress in it. There will come a day when i will be able to unleash point blank slash. And when this slash, will also have chakra transformation, its power will be quite high.

Training in trackless steps is hardest. Adding yourself in someone's unconsciousness, is hard. I am only able to achieve 30% result in practicing it. But i can't guarantee it as I am training it against trees, who can't answer me if it worked on them or not. I need to find another way to practice it. 

After training, I went home, picked my diary, and wrote down today's achievements. Of course I am writing this in english, so no one can comprehend what i have written in it.

First I thought of writing down which techniques I know or I am training, than i will write down which techniques, I want to modify or start learning.

Currently the techniques which I have are:

 1> Kawarimi no Jutsu (Intermediate level)

 2> Henge no Jutsu (In Training)

 3> Bunshin no Jutsu (In traning)

 4> Basic Swordmanship

 5> Kenbunshoku no Haki (In Initial stage, 40% success)

 6> Tree climbing exercise (In Training)

 7> Basic taijutsu Katas (In Training)

 8> Trackless Steps (In training, 30% success)

 9> Second sword - Rekkou (In training)

After checking out this list, i thought what can i do after learning all this technique. But when I checked out statuses of all of this techniques, i gave up practicing anything new until I get mastery in 70% of techniques. Now I know why I am getting slow progress in all.

I got overconfident and took more than I can chew. That's why i am stagnating in all of my practices. I have decided to gave up practicing 3 basic jutsus until I get mastery in tree climbing exercise. Than I will take them. And if my estimation is correct that time won't come until after academy exams. So I have decided to focus in study until academy exams and practicing katas, trackless steps and rekkou with basic swordsmanship. I shouldn't forgot my root as swordsman.
