Chapter 18 5 Years Later

It's been 5 years since I've reincarnated in this world, I've struggled and passed out too many times to count, but the fruits of my training have bloomed, I mastered the basics of the tessen recently and now I'm ready to attend shinobi academy.

Its not like I'm super excited about it, but it is what is.

Tomorrow is the day the academy starts so I'm gonna get ready today, the first thing on my list for today is to go to Takedas house and learn chakra control, this allows me to use the chakra paper that I bought years ago, this helps with technique ideas and learning the advanced tessen techniques from Takeda.

I get up, take a shower, and get ready to leave, but before I leave I have to get permission, I decided to ask my mom.

" can I go to Takeda's house"

"Ok just don't take too long"

Ever since I spend the night at Takedas house a few years ago I've been forced to ask permission whenever I go out, And I have to come back before 8 pm.

you'd think since this is the world of shinobi parents would be less protective

I get out of the house and use the watered-down body flicker, in the past years I've become pretty proficient with it, the speed doesn't increase but at least it's consistent.

I get to Takeda's House and open the door.

Around two years ago Takeda got tired of opening the door for me so he just gave me a key, I don't think it is a good idea to give your house key to a child, but in not one to complain.

Takedas sitting on the couch so I start a basic conversation before I ask him about something I care about, once I feel like he's buttered up enough I ask him

"Can you teach me chakra control please"

"Hmm, I see you buttered me up so you would get a better result"

He's seen through my plan, I need to disprove him.

"No, I'm genuinely curious about your life and experiences, it's just that when I was speaking I remembered that you previously promised to teach me how to control my chakra"

"That makes sense, lets go to the backyard"

We move to the backyard and Takeda tells me to sit down with my legs crossed before we did anything sensei said we had to discuss something before he teaches me.

"Before we start I need to teach you what chakra is"

"OK"

"Chakra is life force, every living thing has chakra and if you run out of chakra you die, also not everybody can use chakra only shinobi have the training to do so, we have learned to generate and release chakra through chakra points called tenketsu"

"Makes sense continue"

"Chakra is created when physical energy and mental energy is combined, physical energy comes from your body cells and can be increased by exercise Mental energy is harder to explain but you increase it by doing mental tasks like reading"

"So that's another reason I've been doing the physical training"

"Yes"

"Ok then how do I feel the chakra points"

"I'm going to release small amounts of chakra into you, this will help you feel the points"

Takeda gets up comes over to me and releases the chakra.

I feel 2 energy swirling in my stomach, and a network of points, this must be my chakra points and the physical and mental energy.

"Do you feel your chakra points?"

"Yeah"

"Well that's it"

Takeda stops flowing chakra into me and sits back down.

"That's it?"

"Yes once you feel the chakra, you should be able to use it"

A little disappointed I go home, I and my family eat dinner and I go to my room

At this point, it was pretty late, so before I went to sleep I wanted to check my chakra nature

I dig up the chakra paper from where I put it years ago and try to induct a little chakra into it

I guess Takeda was right since it seemed pretty easy to feel my chakra, then let a bit flow out through my points.

One side of the paper splits the other side becomes damp

"Water and wind, that's pretty cool"

I go to sleep too tired to think too hard about it, a little anxious too since tomorrow is the first day of school.
