Chapter 22 : Chakra Affinity 2

I honestly was expecting some kind of fight but it was very easy to take the elephant out after his mobility was hindered. 

Even his water wasn't able to do anything in that bog, besides increasing the depth of the bog that is. Killing him though was a little hard but with some explosion tag, I managed it. 

I was certain now that the elephant was not suited for face-to-face fighting. 

I wanted to start the summoning ritual for the next shikigami but I was already out of chakra. So can't do anything about it. 

It was time to visit Iruka in the academy anyway. 

But... How do I get out of this forest now? I came by flying on top of Nue. But now I am almost out of chakra...

It took too much time to get out of that damn forest but finally, I am here. In front of me was the academy which I never got to experience. I am sure it would have been fun. 

It was already evening, I couldn't help but hope that Iruka had some time for me!

Entering the academy, directly went for the place where teachers usually sit. 

"Iruka Sensei," I called out as I saw only 4 people in the staff room. Iruka was checking some paper but upon seeing me there he showed a smile on his face. 

"Shika. What are you doing here ?" Iruka asked as he put his paperwork aside. 

"Ah well, I actually wanted to ask you a question Iruka sensei if you don't mind," I asked.

"Sure, if I can help then I will. Ask away." Iruka looked actually happy that one of his old students came back to him to ask him a question. Even looking a little eager to help.

"I just recently tested that I have water and yin affinity. I want to train in water affinity but don't know how to. And have no one to ask. Do you know how I can do so?" I asked with a little helpless smile on my face. 

But after hearing what I said, Iruka was surprised. 

"Chakra Nature Transformation. That chunin level skills Shika. Are you sure you want to learn something like that right now? It's gonna be hard." Iruka asked with a little serious face. He has seen many students who want to just learn cool Jutsus. And though it's better that they get stronger but only Jutsu is not everything. 

He didn't want Shika to be like that. 

"Yes, I have just recently been in 2 C rank missions. And I quickly realized that having a powerful technique can be a deciding factor between life and death. So I want to learn nature chakra transformation. " I reply with a firm look on my face. 

But upon hearing this Iruka looked even more serious and alarmed. 

 "C rank mission, Last I remember you are not into any team. Though it's allowed but still you shouldn't take a C-rank mission this early Shika. 

And what about this dead and live situation? What did you experience in this two C rank mission anyway ?" Iruka asked slowly, remembering that we were not alone here. 

So he stood up and gestured for me to follow. 

He took me to an empty classroom and then finally asked me to explain. 

"Sigh, well I can't explain everything, it's classified info now but to summarise what happened, the first C rank mission which was supposed to be a simple search mission turned into a kidnap mission and I ended up fighting a Genin. And another one, I had to go out of the land of fire and protect a royalty there. Can't say more than that. Hokage sama asked me not to." I replied but this much was enough to completely take Iruka by surprise. 

Iruka now have no idea what to say to his student. He pauses, trying to understand the situation. If even Hokage was involved and put the info as classified, then it must be important. 

Iruka can't help but gasp. 

"What have you been doing all this time ?" He almost said in a scolding tone. Though his worry about me was clear in his tone. 

"Sigh, it's just my luck. I just took a simple C rank but both turned into far bigger than my pay grade. 

Now you understand right? That's why I need to want to learn Water Style." I asked Iruka. 

Hearing this Iruka, hmm, looking like he was contemplating things but he finally nodded. 

"Okay, though I myself am not a water-style ninja but I know how to train in it. But that is all I can tell you. Can't help you in this more than that." Iruka replied.

Hearing this my face lit up. "That's fine Iruka Sensei. That much too is enough to get me started."

I finally konw how to go around training in water-style chakra nature transformation. It's actually quite simple. For wind chakra like how it was shown in the anime, one has to grind their chakra to make a sharp blade.

For water, one just has to condense the chakra and make it flow like water. Water is the only nature beside earth which is hard to produce with just chakra. It has much more sustain than just fire, wind or lightning after all. 

So it's advisable to rather control an already existing water body than to make water with your chakra. That will need a huge amount of chakra. 

A simple way to train in water-style chakra nature transformation was to take a cup and completely fill it with water. Enough that it's almost close to spilling. 

Then one can try two different exercises in that. One is to place a leaf on that water surface and try to control it by rotating it with just controlling the water. And to make the water spill with by adding more water in there by condensing water with your chakra. 

These are the two simple basic ways to start the training. 

Seems like I need to give the clone something else to do. Lets do the sealing at night, clone at home will do the water chakra nature transformation training full-time from now.

And when it comes to Yin chakra. After talking with Iruka, the only thing Yin is useful according to him is Genjutsu. 

There are certainly other things but Iruka don't know others. I am sure that Shikaku would know so I will ask him later. But when it comes to Genjutsu. 

Maybe I should give it a try.
