4 Chapter 4

I kept listening as went on explaining about basic elements and rank of jutsu. The rank decides how easy it is to learn the technique, how much power it can produce and how much chakra is required.

Based upon all these, they are classified to E, D, C, B, A and S. E are the basic ones taught to children and S are the ones that are national secret or personally created jutsu.

We at root are given access to almost all the ninjutsu till A-rank if they are in the village archive and are not clan secrets.

So, we have a small information advantage over the other kids. After the class, we were given three pills and sent to the next training, the practical training.

We were first taught chakra control and release. After that, we would be taught genjutsu, ninjutsu and finally taijutsu.

I was standing in a horizontal line, with the seven other kids. I was standing at the end of the line. Then another root ninja arrived before us.

I could tell she was female, as she had long hair and her body wasn't anything like the men. Her breasts shape was visible even through the cloak she wore.

She said "I am now going to train you kids in both chakra control and genjutsu. Before we get to the drill, it seems like we have a new member, so I will go through the basics once more.

As you know that chakra can be used in various ways and hand signs help us control the amount to be used in a jutsu, but sometimes we still end up using more energy than needed.

Even high level jonin sometimes waste a little chakra. This chakra wastage can be reduced when you have good control of your chakra and it's flow.

Your drill everyday is to channel chakra to all parts of your body. I should be able to see it. When you are able to sustain it for a while, I will let you skip chakra control classes.

Now, channel all your chakra around your whole body and release it out. I should see a blue light around you."

I was excited for the drill. I closed my eyes as instructed and concentrated to feel the chakra inside me. It didn't take long for me as I felt a weird energy inside me.

I read in fan-fics as to how isekai characters find it difficult to feel the mana or energy or ki. It wasn't anything difficult for me. I knew about a human body and how my body felt. I just had to search for something new which I didn't have before and done. I felt the chakra inside moving all around some fixed paths.

I tried controlling the flow, but it wasn't possible. I concentrated and concentrated, but no use. Then I remembered that it was a mixture of both physical and mental energy. That's when I focused on my hand and also flexed the muscles in my hand.

And the chakra flowed in that direction. The instructor, who was seeing me focus chakra into my arms, was shocked. She said "When was it so easy to redirect chakra?" but I couldn't hear it.

I was completely focusing on my chakra. All of it was flowing to my hand. I had to stop it, but I couldn't.

And the chakra continued to glow out as I felt weak. I immediately opened my eyes, stopped flexing my muscles and the chakra stopped coming out of my hands.

The instructor walked to me and said "I am honestly amazed kid. You managed to actually figure out how to redirect chakra, but the method you used is wrong. I noticed as how you flexed your muscles and forced the flow.

This doesn't actually always work. Try using the same method, but this time, just try moving your muscles. It's same as flexing, but you make it similar to a snake. Contract and relax muscles to control the flow. As you keep doing it, your body gets used to it and you don't even have to use your muscles. Your chakra pathways would automatically learn to channel chakra how you want it to.

This isn't a problem to those from ninja families. They have some inheritance in their dna that canlet then control chakra subconsciously. You need to put some effort. Now try again." handing me a chakra recovery pill.

They weren't magical like the senzu beans of dragon Ball, they were just food pills with high carbs and nutrients. So, they only recover a part of the users chakra.

I got around 40% of my chakra. I got up and went back to training chakra control. This time, with a method to use, I tried it. It was basically flex one muscle and relax the nearest one.

It sure took me many trials and many pills that I got sick of them. After many trials, I could circulate chakra all around my body and release it all around my body.

I don't know how much the other kids did in their first try, but I see this as a huge progress. I still couldn't control the output and immediately fell down.

My instructor said "That's enough for today. You are going to finish all my chakra pills. Take one from your instructor and go train in taijutsu. Your chakra levels aren't enough to attend genjutsu and ninjutsu."

I was disappointed, but it made sense. I couldn't start with the difficult ones when I just started learning the basics.

That's why, even though I didn't like it I went to my taijutsu instructor, who was the one in charge of my physical training the previous month.

He looked at me and said "I can understand what happened. Take this and warm up, we are going to spar."

I wanted to know their names and every root member I met only said "You aren't worthy of knowing it yet. Call me senior till you earn Danzo-sama's trust."

I just did a few stretches and stood before my instructor, with my fist in front of my face. It was a fighting stance of some boxers I saw.

My instructor looked at me and said "Let's begin. Try attacking me kid."

I ran towards him with my fists pulled back, intending to throw a punch. I could hear my instructor smile. When I was close enough, I tried punching him, but my punch landed on air.

My instructor, who was supposed to be in front of me, was now behind me. He moved so fast that I couldn't even see.

I tried turning and kicking him, another move I saw in a boxing show. He dodged again by moving a step back.

I lost my cool and immediately started to randomly throw punches and kicks. My instructor said "Don't give in to anger. It's the greatest enemy of a ninja." and punched me in the gut, after which I fainted.
