Question: Is there any Kage left? Who's stats should I put in next?

LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Who is it?" Ryuu asked suddenly, curiosity finally getting the better of him. After that intense session, he was much more open to accepting Aki as a teacher.

After all, Aki had kept himself spotless for three hours, using only two jutsu to evade them—even when Kaito, thinking himself clever, dumped an entire bucket of water in an attempt to catch him off guard.

Aki paused, contemplating before answering. "Shisui of the Body Flicker."

Ryuu mentally noted the name. Someday, after surpassing Aki, he'd challenge this Shisui person. That would be his next goal.

Kaito leaned back, stretching lazily with his hands behind his head and eyes half-closed. "Man, if training was always like this, I wouldn't mind doing it all day," he said with a contented sigh, breaking the silence.

Sayuri, seated cross-legged beside him, glanced at Kaito with a smirk. "That's because you're too simple. You're forgetting that tomorrow, we're probably back to the usual grind."

Aki chuckled at the exchange. He already had a rigorous routine planned for them, but today's lighter training session had served its purpose.

"Alright, you're dismissed. Meet me at the Third Peak tomorrow at dawn," Aki said, waving them off. It was time for some personal training.

Once the others left, Aki made his way to his usual spot, retrieving two scrolls from his pack—one containing Tenso no Jutsu, a high-level teleportation technique, and the other detailing various genjutsu methods.

He considered focusing on genjutsu for a moment. It would help strengthen his resistance, much like Sakura's natural immunity, but the God-Tree within him already granted significant protection against such techniques.

No matter how useless people think Sakura is, she's got some of the best genjutsu resistance around, Aki mused. But what truly intrigued him was mastering something greater.

If he could get his hands on the Second Mizukage's technique—the one that could put an entire army under genjutsu—that would elevate his skills to another level entirely.

Next day.

'Sun bro, you're not winning just give up already' Aki smiled as he got up from the bed.

After he freshened up, Aki put on his shinobi outfit, and put his shurikens and kunai in their intended places. He also put the scroll he made last night in his storage scroll.

'Time to move'

Aki left his house and went to 3rd peak and was ready to start his training. He unrolled the Tenso no Jutsu scroll, eyes scanning the content as he began his work.

"Let's do this," he muttered, activating the technique on an empty scroll. For a brief moment, the scroll was engulfed with bright energy, but it soon fizzled out as the transfer failed.

"This is going to take some time," Aki sighed. Mastering one of the village's top techniques was never going to be easy.

Still, he couldn't afford to rely solely on his future Rinne-Sharingan for space-time ninjutsu. He wanted to be someone who could decipher and master jutsu without the need for a powerful dojutsu.

'I don't know how much of an Otsutsuki I am right now, nor do I fully understand my fusion with the God-Tree', Aki thought. But that didn't matter. 'I have all the tools he needed to master these techniques'—he just had to put in the work.

Time flew by as Aki immersed himself in study and training. Before long, it was time to meet his students again.

"Yo," Ryuu greeted him, appearing at the peak using the Body Flicker technique. Aki raised an eyebrow, impressed. Ryuu was already improving.

At that moment, a cloud of dust kicked up in the distance. Kaito was sprinting at full speed, determined to beat Ryuu in being the earliest to arrive. Nearing the peak, he leaped into the air, landing with both feet, and skidding across the ground before regaining his balance.

Sayuri arrived just after Ryuu, shaking her head at Kaito's antics. "Idiot," she muttered under her breath.

Unbothered, Kaito grinned. "Yo! Kaito's here!" he declared, his eyes sparkling with triumph. But his spirits went down as soon as he noticed Ryuu standing near Aki.

Aki chuckled, closing the scroll he had been reading. "Looks like everyone's here," he said with a mischievous grin. "I've got another game for you guys, but before we can play, you'll need to finish today's training."

"Can you stop with the sensei act? I know you're a jonin now but we're still your friends" Kaito loudly said.

"Let's do that after training is done," Aki replied with a smirk, "Now follow me."

Without waiting for a response, Aki casually approached the edge of the peak, placed his hands on the railings, and rolled over them, dropping down the mountainside.

Kaito and Sayuri exchanged nervous glances. "This... seems a bit extreme," Sayuri muttered to herself.

"Show off," Kaito snorted.

But Ryuu didn't hesitate. Without a word, he jumped after Aki, showing complete trust. His movement shocked both Kaito and Sayuri.

"Is that really Ryuu?" Sayuri blinked, still processing how easily he had followed Aki. 'If it was yesterday, he would just leave as soon as he got the chance.'

They rushed to the railing and peered over, their jaws dropping as they saw Aki and Ryuu calmly standing on the water surface at the base of the mountain, they moved as if on solid ground, thanks to Aki creating the safe zone.

Kaito's eyes narrowed with determination. If they could do it, then so could he. Without a second thought, he leaped over the edge, determined to keep up with them.

SPLASH.

Kaito hit the water with a resounding crash, flailing as he tried to maintain his balance.

Aki moved quickly, extending a hand to pull him out of the water and help him stabilize with healing jutsu. Within moments, Kaito, too, was walking on the water's surface.

Sayuri watched from above, gripping the railing tightly. Even though she had seen Aki help Kaito, fear still gnawed at her. The height made it hard to muster the courage to jump.

GULP.

She carefully put her feet over the railing and hung herself with her hands firmly stuck to the railings.

Aki noticed her hesitation and was about to move when she finally let go, though not in the most graceful way. Instead of jumping, she clung awkwardly to the cliffside, bumping into the rocks a few times as she descended.

SPLASH.

Aki sighed but moved quickly to fish her out of the water as well.

Once all three were standing on the surface of the water, Aki grinned at his team. "Today's focus is chakra control," he said, his tone firm but playful. "We're going to work on walking up the mountain using only chakra."

He pointed to the steep cliff. "Apply chakra to your feet and stick to the surface. Keep walking until you reach the top. Once you've mastered this, we'll move on to the next challenge."

Aki's grin widened. "Let's see what you've got."

"Damn," Kaito said in shock and then confidently continued, "You got it"

This was exact same training Haibara had Aki go through upon his request to learn chakra control. Aki wanted to get the kids at the "walking on water" level before teaching them anything else or even taking them on a mission.

Ryuu, the silent but undoubtedly the most skilled of the three, wasted no time. Without hesitation, he pressed his feet to the rocky wall and started walking. It wasn't long before his walk turned into a jog, and then a full-out sprint as he scaled the cliff with ease.

'This kid' Aki's brows twitched as he saw Ryuu succeed in a single try.

Next up was Sayuri. She put her foot on the cliff and started walking. She managed to go halfway before she lost her grip on the chakra.

Aki was ready, reacting instantly as she tumbled toward the water again. He grabbed her arm and helped her back onto the surface, offering her an encouraging nod. "You're getting the hang of it," he said. "Just keep your focus steady. You're controlling too much chakra at once. Balance it."

Even though he had reinforced the water beneath them with chakra to prevent them from sinking, he couldn't stop them from plunging in if they fell from the cliff. But as long as they stood on the water after that, it would feel like solid ground, easy to walk on.

This was done on purpose. Aki could easily reinforce the water's surface further and make it solid enough to refuse to let kids drown, but sinking in water was a better cushion than doing that.

The kids were still young; no one expected them to run on water from the start, which is the next training plan by Aki.

'How much should I train them before…' Aki grinned at imagining a scene of Raikage flipping the table out of earth's atmosphere when THAT happens.

After Sayuri, it was Kaito's turn. He, too managed to walk one-third of the way up the cliff before slipping. Kaito let out a loud "Whoa!" as he flailed his arms before plunging into the water. Aki resisted the urge to laugh, though a small grin tugged at the corners of his mouth.

'All three of them are better than me when I started' Aki chuckled at the thought, 'But I wasn't even an academy student when that happened, so I shouldn't compare.'

Kaito, shaking off the fall, shot Aki a grin as he steadied himself again on the water's surface. "I'll get it next time, br… sensei! Just you watch!"

"So, you think you can do it?" Aki asked grinning, "Of course! I've got it" Kaito replied in affirmation.

"Do it then" Aki encouraged him back to try again.
