Chakra Nature

Chakra is something fascinating, as long as you have enough of it, you can make reality bend to your wishes, are you weak? Power up using Chakra, You need to cross this lake but have no boat? Use Chakra, you have cold on a lonely night in the middle of nowhere? Fire Style, You need energy to power up your Village? Wind Style, Lighting Style, Fire Style, Water Style, every single thing that can produce energy at least to my knowledge at your disposal, the only limit to it is your Chakra Nature, note to self, talk with aunt Kurenai to create a Clean Energy company with retired and failed Ninja to profit from them, since no one seems to be smart enough to do it.

In resume, there is nothing that can't be achieved through the use of Chakra, if you find something that can't be done with Chakra then maybe you are not using enough Chakra. The second half of today's training is about discovering our Chakra Nature, after all this is Guy-Sensei's Spartan Method, make sure everyone is too tired to the point of throwing up their breakfast, and continue training until they can't move a finger, give fifteen minutes to rest and repeat.

"Grab one and wait for further instructions" Guy-Sensei said, handing over a piece of paper to each of us, "this is a special type of paper, Chakra paper, original I know, this thing has the property to react to even the slightest amount of Chakra, and not only that, it can determine what kind of Nature affinity you have" he proceeded to explain.

"Does that mean one can only learn Ninjutsu according to their Nature affinity?" Rock Lee asked.

"No, it only means you have an easier time learning Ninjutsu of your same affinity" Guy-Sensei answered, "Rock Lee, you first" He ordered, Lee tried his best to make the Chakra flow from his body to the paper, but there was no reaction, it was to be expected, but it didn't hurt to try, we all shrugged to that and carry on the lesson.

Neji was next, he poured a bit of Chakra on the paper, and it reacted, a third of the paper burned itself, another third turned to dust, and the remaining third got wet.

"Fire, Earth and Water, three different Natures, most ninjas only have two, I recommend you to focus on one or two natures, to avoid splitting yourself too thin between your Clan unique abilities and the Ninjutsus you can learn, that doesn't mean you should learn at least a couple of Jutsus from each Nature" Guy-Sensei explained to Neji the meaning of his result and how he should proceed.

It was finally my turn, I let a bit of Chakra flow into the paper, it had a similar reaction to Neji's paper, showing three effects, one third got wet, the other third turned to dust, and the remaining third wrinkled.

"You share two of three Natures with Neji, Water and Earth, the other one is Lighting, you share that with my good friend and rival Kakashi, I'm currently training you in Taijutsu, and I know that Kurenai taught you everything she could about Genjutsu during these eight years, I dare to say you are a Genjutsu Master, but just like Neji you should focus on one or two Natures at least until, you dominate the basic of your current training" Guy-Sensei said.

"The second part of the training will be this way: Rock Lee will remain with me, we'll be continuing our Taijutsu training, Kenji and Neji will go to the academy and ask for Ninjutsu scrolls, some of them are free while others can be bought, but they tend to be expensive, don't go for the top shell Jutsus, start with something basic and easy, since you share Natures, you should get a couple of Jutsus of Earth and Water, and share the scrolls, it will be easier and cheaper" He shared the wisdom of an independent adult, I wouldn't be surprised if he is a coupon maniac.

"So what are you planning to learn?" Neji asked, looking for the scroll he wanted in the Water section.

"I want to start with Earth Style, we are an offensive Team, one of us needs to have at least one way to put barriers" I said grabbing the scroll for the Earth Wall Jutsu, "regarding Water Style, there is a utility type, infamously used by Kiri ninjas, the Hidden Mist Jutsu, they use it for assassination, but it can be used as a distraction to escape, if you can look for it, I will be grateful" I told him.

We kept looking for Ninjutsu that could be used in interesting ways, instead of purely defensive or offensive types, for example Earth Wall can be used for defense, but it can also be an improvised shelter, or a way to gain the high ground, in the series Yamato combined this jutsu with water style to permanently change the terrain on the Training Grounds, making a waterfall for Naruto's training.

Hidden Mist, can block the vision of enemies, but sensor types, and someone with enough training can navigate inside it using only the sounds as reference, but my Mastery over Genjutsu and Illusions, will allow me to fool even those that know how to fool the Hidden Mist Jutsu.

At the end of my search, I collected six Ninjutsu scrolls, from the Water Style I took, Hidden Mist, and Wild Water Wave, from the Earth Style, Earth Wall, and Earth Turning Palm, finally from the Lighting Style I took, Spider Web and Discharge, borrowing a scroll is free, as long as you don't take it out of the installations, if you took out a C-rank Jutsu or lower rank, there is a quote equivalent to the materials used to make that scroll, but anything from B-rank and superior, needed a quote for the materials and some extra according to the rank, those Jutsus were difficult to explain and even more difficult to find scrolls, since most of them were donations from Clans or acquire through years of espionage to rival Villages.

After paying for my copies, not wanting to come here every day, I went home, it was late, and the training time was officially over after sunset, searching for proper Jutsus takes time, and I need the rest for tomorrow's session.
