Ch 13: The Chakra

It had already been 6 months since the beginning of classes at the ninja school.

During this time, the group of eight had gradually grown closer to each other, the fruit of the training was incredibly effective, Minato, the most enthusiastic had demonstrated his talent in adapting to the different methods of fighting that the others had.

Currently Minato remains among the top three of the class, on the other hand Yasuke that after several attempts of successful escape, his disappearance was discovered by Tsume, who was looking for him continuously to have in his words a revenge of the day of the exam.

Yasuke still made it into the top 10 of the class.

In the training field of the ninja school a group of about 30 children were talking among them, while the one who seemed to be the chunin teacher, was looking at some papers that he had in hand

-You heard, it is said that today we will have a chakra training, I already want to throw incredible jutsus - Said an excited blond to his black-haired partner.

-Well, I think what the teacher said was that we will do chakra control, no impressive jutsu or anything like that," replied with some apathy the black-haired man in a cap.

The blond's eyes seemed to lose some brightness, until a thought seemed to pass through his mind, and smiling at Yasuke he answered him

-Well, I don't know if you remember the last training?

Yasuke I'm trying to remember, I remember the training they had the last day, that day I had spent half of the training playing with Shukaku to Shoji, and the other half teaching some knowledge to Nonoe, since she had a little harder time than the others to learn the knowledge they taught at the academy

-Yes, of course, I remember perfectly well.

-Well, then you will remember the bet I made with Tsume.

-Bet?" questioned the black-haired man.

- Yes, the bet was that if I beat her, she would teach me a little jutsu.

-Huh? A jutsu? Wow, that's something really incredible, but the jutsu of the clan that she knows can't be transmitted to external people.

-A quiet, what she will teach me will be a jutsu that is not exclusive to the clan.

-Mmm, yeah, I guess you won, after all you wouldn't be excited if you didn't.

-Well yes, although she didn't use chakra and it was only taijutsu.

-Well it's normal for ninja clan members to unlock their chakra at a very young age, and some are already trained in basic jutsu.

-Ha ha ha ha, I know, but now that our chakra is unlocked too, we can train more, and get to have better fights.

-Ags, you damn training freak...ay....

-How many times do I have to tell you Yasuke, don't curse- A female voice came from behind the two children.

The two boys turned their gazes towards the direction where the voice came from, they saw three girls, in the middle a girl with light brown hair and glasses looked at Yasuke with a frown, at his sides two girls a little taller than the last one, looked at the scene with laughter, the blue one looked with a sweet smile, while the one with brown hair and wild looked at him with mischief and mockery

-Are you girls here, ready for the first Chakra class? - Minato interjected, calling everyone's attention.

-Well, a little bit yes," said Nonoe, "Grandma Nora told me that when I unlocked my chakra she would start teaching me medical jutsu.

-Well, I was taught it in the clan already, but this is always better than giving shinobi history lessons," answered the Inuzuka clan girl.

-The same for me, I just hope to improve my chakra control," replied the black-haired girl.

-Control? -questioned the Inuzuka- that doesn't matter, the more chakra you have, and the better jutsus you have, the stronger you will be.

The others could only deny Tsume's statement.

-All right, now I have something I'm curious about," said Yasuke.

- You have something you're curious about," asked Minato curiously.

-Yes, what was it that you bet with Tsume to make her accept?

-Oh that, it's nothing," answered Minato with some sweat on his forehead.

-Mmm, are you sure? -Yasuke asked

-Yeah, sure," the blond quickly felt.

Hearing this Yasuke could only turn his gaze to Tsume, who shivered when she saw Yasuke's eyes.

-Tsume, could you tell me what Minato promised you if you beat him?

-I don't know what you mean, it was nothing.

Yasuke's doubts grew exponentially at this dubious answer.

-Tsume, are you sure you don't want to tell me?

-Yes, I'm sure.

-What if I tell you that I'll agree to fight with you if you tell me?

This made Tsume swallow saliva nervously at this temptation, everyone in the group of friends knows how much Tsume wants to fight against Yasuke.

To her this was like the devil's temptation.

-I...uh...I - Tsume was hesitating.

Minato who was watching from the side was sweating heavily, praying that Tsume wouldn't fall into Yasuke's temptation.

After a moment of deliberation Tsume breathed in sharply and answered confidently

-I'm a member of the Inuzuka clan, known for their loyalty, and as heiress, I won't sell my friends out.

At this Minato let out the breath he didn't know he was holding, the others just smiled.

-Mmm, okay, I respect your decision," replied Yasuke with a hint of appreciation for Tsume's choice.

Tsume smiled proudly at this

-Besides, I have more ways to find out," said the black-haired man normally stoic, with a mischievous smile on his face.

At this answer Minato shuddered

After a while they were also joined by the group of three Ino-Shika-Cho, and they continued talking about trivialities until the chunin began his chakra control class.

....

In front of the group of children, two chunin stood at the front, one of them was a young woman holding her blue hair with a scarf with the village symbol, the other an older middle-aged man, this one had short hair and a scar in the shape of an X on his forehead, he wore his headband tied around his neck.

-Very well children, today as you know we will do chakra training, as there are already some who already have their chakra unlocked, we will divide into two groups, one will begin to do chakra control exercises, and the other will be taught to unlock and feel the chakra.

And so the class was divided into two groups, all the children who belonged to a clan either big or small, went directly to the chakra control, most of the others went to the chakra unlocking group, some children of ninjas, had also unlocked their chakra.

Minato, Nonoe and Yasuke said goodbye to their friends and joined the chakra unlocking group.

-Very well, please sit neatly in a line in lotus position, close your eyes and concentrate.

The children followed the teacher's words

-All right, now, you must search, inside, you must try to find threads, something like a spider web or channels, once you find it go through the path it traces, and when you get to the core you will find your chakra pool, it is where it resides and where it regenerates, try to grab it and pull it, do not force it must go with you, pull it little by little, let it accompany you and flood your body with its power.

Yasuke followed the steps that the chunin said.

When he closed his eyes and concentrated, he felt that he was in absolute darkness, but when he searched and searched for the channel that the chunin said, he found something similar, it was like the anthill that once in his past life a schoolmate presented as a class work.

There were many channels, but they all went to one place, Yasuke went to this specific point, and what he found there was something that made him almost lose concentration, a strange energy, it felt incredibly powerful, but in the same way, it felt extremely malleable, as if it was some kind of cotton, it could fragment, elongate, compact, and a lot of possible uses.

Remembering the word of the chunin, he tried to grab the energy, however it did not pay attention to him and did not follow him, trying again, this time he tried to feel the chakra and transmit his intention to it, and then it was when he felt them, the chakra began to follow him, to go through each of the channels that were empty before, the feeling was at first somewhat uncomfortable, as if something was running inside your body, but after a while it felt comfortable and comforting.

As Yasuke opened his eyes he saw his surroundings, some kids were still trying, Minato who seemed to have opened his eyes a few moments before Yasuke, gave him a glance

However what surprised Yasuke is that in that look he saw nothing but calm and peace as if the previous unruly child with a desire for action had disappeared, however those eyes full of peace, quickly regained their energy and Minato quickly got up and rushed towards Yasuke

-Hahaha, finally, we did it, we are one step closer to fulfilling our dreams," he said to Yasuke while hugging him.

Yasuke felt that his friend was back to his former self, he smiled and for the first time in a long time he wasn't unmoved by Minato's action and words

-Yes one step closer

-Huh? - Minato was surprised to receive the answer and the hug back from Yasuke, and not a sarcastic answer as usual.

-Ejem - Yasuke tried to dissimulate -This... and Nonoe how is she doing?

-Ah, I think he's about to make it, look," Minato pointed in one direction.

In this one was Nonoe with a frown, but it was changed to a smile when her eyes opened.
