After leaving with Gaï, we resumed walking on our hands, the mood was slightly different as the training was more calm and collected instead of the usual passionated and exciting mood.
Gaï: "Do you know your first mistake?"
Kayle: "Mhhh, starting a fight while I was not ready to have one maybe?"
Gaï: "Haha, no it's fine to have a spare from time to time is, as long as it remains a friendly match"
Kayle: "Well.. they weren't that friendly... they started mocking us just for training..."
Gaï: "Let me tell you then, your first mistake is that you only considered your strengths and not assessing your opponent at all"
Kayle: "Well how am I supposed to do that? he is only a five-year-old kid... I never even considered that he knew any ninjutsu and even less such a genjustu that would render me totally powerless"
Gaï: "Most of the Nara kids can start controlling their shadows by the age of three, The Uchiha too learns the fireball jutsu between four and five years old and my eternal rival became a jōnin at age 12 while graduating from the Academy at 5 and arn't you only four ?"
I see that talking about Kakashi is getting Gaï a little more excited as he starts only walking on his fingers.
Gaï: "And the genjutsu he used is one of the first jutsu everyone learns.. it's mainly used to help newborns sleep"
kayle: "then how come it was so effective on me? I could barely move.. I felt like all my body was devoid of energy"
Gaï: "Well..most genjutsus work by either sounds or vision.. your biggest mistake is to focus on his hand sign and locking eye contact.. while Randy was digging a hole for you to fall in, you jumped in it head first"
Kayle: "Do you mean that if I didn't look straight into his eyes.. the genjutsu wouldn't affect me that much? "
Gaï: "Definitely... at most you would feel slightly tired for a few seconds.. and this genjutsu is also one of the easiest to break... but I guess you guys didn't learn how to disturb your chakra yet in the academy"
I look frustrated... Due to lowering my guard and my lack of knowledge, I lost my fight before even showcasing what I'm capable of... well I'll have to learn how to deal with genjutsus and recognize them.
Gaï: "By the way do you know the hand seal?"
Kayle: "Of course I know, but I haven't trained making them why are you asking"
Gaï: "He used the dragon hand seal in his jutsu, most genjutsu have that hand seal in them so whenever you see someone doing it you should think that they could be preparing a genjutsu"
As I listen to Gaï's advice I start questioning, why I didn't start training my hand seals yet... I still have a lot to learn.. too much... and even if I kept my past life memories, it seems that my young brain still affects my emotions and my behavior more than I expect.
I knew too well Gaï wouldn't care about the insults and he even tried to stop me from fighting but I ignored him and ended humiliated
I sight loudly... I have too many things to think about and to do... that's very frustrating...
Kayle: "I want to learn shadow clone Jutsu... Can you help me learn it ?"
Gaï looks at me curiously, "It uses a lot of chakras and could lead to injuries if not used correctly.. and with your chakra reserve you will at most be able to use two clones, why not just learn the cloning from the Academy ?"
Kayle: "My dad said there was a forbidden Jutsu named Multiple Shadow Clone Technique that could make to hunters clones if I had a Jonin chakra reserve, that's why I want to learn the normal version now, so once my chakra reserve are big enough I'll learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique "
Gaï: "Well I don't know any Ninjutsu but, I'll ask Kakashi if he could teach you, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind"
I smile widely as I know the use of that justsu, with it I'll be able to train way more efficiently, I can't wait to learn it, just thinking about it is getting me excited.
