tree walking and water walking ..
the village was consisted of different clans and civilians. where many people live in a settlement, there exists politics too .
no clan would want other clans to outshine them . if a genius appeared from a clan then their reputation increased just like prominence of sarutobi clan as hokage is a sarutobi . uncle hatake was no different.
he had friendly relationships with the clan heads of akimichi , nara and yamanaka clans whose heirs study in the same class as me . so there was no friction but a sense of friendly rivalry among the 4 of them .
well all of this were guesses from my experience on earth but it looks like I was right . minato was already famous in the village hailing as absolute genius so me mentioning then had to work .
( sakumo pov )
ren's talent has been mediocre so far but I like his determination . our clan has always prided in KENJUTSU but others dont know about the dangers of stimulating cells with lightning release chakra which is the secret of our KENJUTSU. ren showing determination is a joyous thing . hmm.. let's see what to teach him after checking his progress.
" ren, forward you right hand! "
( mc POV)
" hey sam , why does uncle want to touch my hand ? does it have something to do with checking my progress ? "
I knew that uncle wasn't a gay much less a lolicon but it didnt feel right to my adult soul to have much physical contact with males . besides uncle was touching me for a while now and I was freaking out ...
" dont panic ren , it's just a simple way to estimate strenght of ninja . ninja with higher chakra control can easily fool the one checking by controlling their chakra but you just have low genin level chakra control so you cannot hope to fool sakumo without my help . dont you feel foreign chakra entering your chakra system ? "
I checked and really found a small stream of foreign chakra gently coursing through my chakra network . I immediately connected the dots and understood that uncle must be checking some details through quantity and density of my chakra.
so I did not have to worry as sam had disguised my chakra reserves and uncle wont be able to see through it anyway. but I was really surprised because the density of the small stream of uncle's chakra was more than 100 times that of mine .
" sam , will my chakra be denser like uncle's after training? " uncle was taking his time so I decided to chat with sam to kill time .
" partner , use observe function on sakumo and you will the answer to your question! "
" what is the onserve function ? "
" ahem ! sorry partner , I forgot to tell you about it . you can see the status of other person with this function . they cannot hide their stats from this function even if they are best at disgusing their chakra signature . just look at your uncle for a second and call * OBSERVE * in your mind . "
I immediately did what sam told me and same holographic screen appeared again but the name was of uncle's .

holy shit ! I was not that surprised with mid kage stuff but seriously uncle had mastered more than 1000 jutsu and more than 100 were 100 % proficiency too .
uncle was just 24 years old right now !!!! just how much talent and training is needed to master so much stuff ? with this he had speciality KENJUTSU too . I seriously couldn't gauge the talent of the young man in front of me . if uncle was this crazy then how much crazy hokage will be ? my head was starting to hurt so I decided to ignore this for now .
" sam , I got my answer . thank you "
I did not forget to thank my partner who helped me realise the fact that this world was real and much much dangerous for the current weak me . uncle also retracted his hand , looks like he was done with checking after a minute .
" hmm.. ren chan , you have already have chakra control that is approaching low genin level . I can see that you are very seriously training so I will teach you some advanced stuff now . you are more than qualified to start learning now . " uncle said with a proud smile which honestly made me happy but I was confused as sam must have disguised my chakra control too . I didnt tell him to disguise chakra control because I wanted to impress uncle more but it's no use thinking about spoiled milk now sigh ..
I looked at my uncle and showed him a determined gaze to tell him that I'm more than ready . uncle approved it and started his explanation.
" ren chan, chakra control can be trained automatically by constantly practicing NINJUTSU, genjutsu etc but the improvement is slow by this method. with low chakra control, a NINJUTSU exhausts more chakra so all ninja basically practice chakra control .
you have already practiced the basic leaf sticking exercise and your results are showing . the next level is chakra strings . this is very difficult and requires more talent to progress quickly . so I will teach you tree walking and water walking exercise . when you master these two then your chakra control will reach near chunin level . after that it becomes harder and harder to further increase chakra control . we will get to that again sometime in future . "
I was really surprised with uncle saying that I would reach near chunin level control after mastering the two exercises . well because I already had low genin level control and uncle didnt know about it . I decided to confirm it with sam because disappointment will be greater if I already start fantasizing and the result doesn't turn out that good .
" sam , tell me honestly . what level of chakra control will approximately reach after measuring the 2 exercises uncle is talking about ? I dont understand my own potential so it will be a waste of time if I start thinking this stuff myself . "
" partner , you did well choosing your uncle for guidance. your bloodline purity and potential greatly surpass that of your uncle so you can approximately reach mid chunin level control after mastering these 2 basic exercises and control with further improve with you using these 2 techniques more little by little . partner , your talent is much greater than you think so get used to it quickly . "
I was happy with Sam's reassurance now but was more elated because my talent and potential were actually greater than uncle now . well it was obvious after seeing the difference in bloodline purity but I was busy fantasizing me mastering more than 1000 jutsu like uncle and maybe more quickly than him .
" ren ren!!! pay attention .. " just when my mind was automatically fantasizing future stuff , uncle's voice reached my ears and snapped me out of it . this time he looked angry so quick sat attentively to appease him .
" okay now watch me .. " uncle said casually and walked outside towards the garden .
he then casually stepped on the small sakura tree planted there and to my widened eyes, just walked on it no different from ground .
I had only one thought inside my mind watching my uncle 'I WANT TO DO THAT TOO "..
