Unknown Premonition

"Wait!"

"Something seems off!"

As everyone knows, with a chakra test paper in hand, testing chakra attributes is very simple. It only requires a certain level of chakra control. By directly inputting chakra into the paper and observing the subsequent changes, one can determine a person's chakra nature.

After the changes, if the paper burns, it indicates a fire attribute; if it splits, it indicates a wind attribute; if it wrinkles, it indicates a lightning attribute; if it becomes wet, it indicates a water attribute; and if it crumbles, it indicates an earth attribute.

If a person has multiple chakra attributes, the paper might exhibit several changes. For example, in the original story, Nagato had all five chakra natures. The paper would split in the center, burn at the top left, become wet at the bottom left, wrinkle at the top right, and crumble at the bottom right.

As for Yasuke, even as a time traveler with an app that accelerates training, he never imagined having all five chakra natures. In other words, possessing all five chakra natures is simply inhuman. To appear more normal, Yasuke felt that having just one nature—fire, wind, or lightning—would be sufficient.

However, when Yasuke first opened his eyes and saw the changes in the chakra test paper, he was extremely excited! The first thing he saw was the paper splitting, indicating a wind nature.

Yet, just as Yasuke was elated, believing his chakra nature to be wind and that his future training had a clear direction, he was completely unprepared for the strange occurrence during the simple chakra test.

Normally, wind nature chakra would cause the test paper to split in the center into two pieces. But in Yasuke's test, the paper broke neatly into three pieces!

"What is going on?"

"Do other people have such strange occurrences during their tests?"

"Or is it that others have a normal wind attribute, and mine is some kind of crazy wind?"

"Come on! Wind attribute is wind attribute. What's with the crazy wind?"

After a few helpless complaints, Yasuke dropped the chakra test paper and took a deep breath, deciding not to worry about the details.

Following this, Yasuke was set to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu to train in wind chakra nature transformation! Having mastered the Rasengan and some advanced Rasengan techniques, Yasuke felt his power was steadily at the chunin level.

Especially after sparring with Kakashi and experiencing life-and-death situations, Yasuke discovered a peculiar sense of perception. Upon examining his body, Yasuke found this perception to be a sign of his mental energy breakthrough. Feeling he had advanced significantly, Yasuke believed mastering chakra nature transformation could elevate his strength to jonin level.

Thus, after confirming his wind chakra nature, Yasuke began his first phase of training in wind chakra nature transformation.

The first phase of training wind chakra nature is to "cut" leaves. After recovering his chakra, Yasuke created as many shadow clones as possible, gathered a pile of leaves in the courtyard, and started his training.

After assigning tasks to his shadow clones, Yasuke thought about his taijutsu training, which had temporarily plateaued. He then decided to check out the secret techniques left by the Fourth Hokage in the scrolls.

Opening the scrolls, Yasuke was stunned by the array of techniques! Surprisingly, the scrolls didn't contain techniques like Rasengan or Chidori, but rather practical tips and tricks, particularly for wind chakra.

"Thank goodness my chakra nature is wind. Otherwise, training under the Fourth Hokage would have been a waste!"

"Apart from some improved basic techniques, the scrolls mainly discuss wind chakra applications!"

"Fourth Hokage, were you a wind specialist?"

"Anyway, since my chakra nature matches yours, your techniques are all mine now!"

"Inheriting all your secrets, the title of Konoha's Yellow Flash will be mine in the future, right?"

"Too bad these techniques require my own mastery. If only the app could accelerate this training!"

Grateful for the Fourth Hokage's useful scrolls, Yasuke lamented his inability to use the app for accelerated training. Nevertheless, he felt he still gained a lot by following the Hokage's training methods. Enduring the fatigue, he mastered several small techniques from the Fourth Hokage before retiring early to rest for the next day's mission.

The next morning, Yasuke's shadow clones dispelled one by one, leaving him exhausted. Fortunately, the Nara clan's secret medicines were plentiful. Using his knowledge of pharmacology from his time with the Nara clan, Yasuke prepared a hearty breakfast to recover from his training fatigue.

After gathering his gear and donning his ANBU uniform, Yasuke anticipated his mission with Kakashi. To avoid being late, Yasuke arrived at the meeting point early. To his frustration, Kakashi was over two hours late.

"If Kakashi says he was helping an old lady or met a black cat, I swear…"

"I'll beat him up! He needs to understand the consequences of being late!"

Angrily muttering, Yasuke had no choice but to wait, as Kakashi was the team leader.

Finally, after waiting the whole morning, Yasuke sensed Kakashi's presence. Almost instinctively, Yasuke threw a punch at Kakashi's head.

Under normal circumstances, Kakashi would have easily dodged such an attack, even if it was a surprise. But on this day, Kakashi didn't react in time and fell to the ground, surprising Yasuke.

When Kakashi stood up slowly, with lifeless eyes, and spoke words Yasuke had longed to hear, Yasuke felt a growing sense of foreboding.

"Yasuke, there's no mission today. Go back and train."

"Hmm."

"I have other matters to attend to. That's all for now."
