Tracking and Stealth.

Finishing the more physical part of the training, I started the tracking training. Tracking is one of the specialties of the Ocelot clan.

As tracking is a specialty of them they treat it with utmost importance. Well, I could use my [Observation Haki] to track someone, but the objective of this training is in itself improving my tracking ability and as much as [Observation Haki] is good, I don't want to become dependent on a single skill.

The first thing I did was stealth training. what kind of tracker can be easily found by his prey? A bad one sure. Starting with the training to reduce how much I smell. No, I am not smelly, for ninja standards, I might as well smell nothing, and even for some clans like Inuzuka at the max, they will smell a little bit of forest smell or smell something like an oak tree when I am distracted.

Stealth training consists of a bunch of techniques to reduce my smell and presence. After that was an upgrade of the footwork training, this training consists of me walking like a cat.

It started simply with the elder demonstrating what I need to do and I try to copy him. after failing miserably to copy the elder he decided to introduce the blazing coals and magmatic rocks. His justification was something akin to 'It will help bring the necessary spring to you feet', I usually would very easily withstand hot coal or even magmatic rock. If they were normal that is, the elder of course decided to make them with Senjutsu so it hurt really bad.

Even with clones reaching the basics of these Senjutsu disciplines was really difficult, even with the elder saying that I was a genius I couldn't help but think of how fast naruto was able to accomplish these things. that guy was the real genius.

After reaching the basics of the stealth training now I need to use it in real-time, everywhere. Even when I am eating fighting or training other things.

And when finally when my stealth exploits where on a satisfactory level according to the elder, followed by a promise that I will not stop training what he reached me we finally started the tracking part.

It should be said that thanks to my new physical transformations I start having a very good nose. So in my head, this training would be a breeze. how wrong I was. The first thing I need to do was to be accustomed to strong smells, so piss, poop, and many other disgusting things that are better to not talk about are included on this list. After that was to detect subtle smells of beasts territories, this was one of the easiest but It has its difficulty nonetheless. Following that the elder put a bunch of different smells in the same room and I have the task to identify them, it started with four, but it has gone up to the hundreds now.

After that was actual tracking training, like finding clues and other things that normal humans don't even think of searching for, it was a really good complement to the Anbu training I did.

But finally, after all this time I completed my tracking training. but after everything, there is still the last technique the elder wants to impart to me. A secret technique of the clan.
