Chapter 6: Training

  'Hmm, there is some movement in my chakra reserve, but it is more like a vibration than actual movement. Well, siried everything I could think of, tomorrow I'll just ask the old man about this,' he thought a for his mueeded sleep.

  ( m...)

  At 4:30 A.M., Kaida woke up and thought:

  'Oh! Sleeping without stant pain is nice. I feel fresh and eic. Let's get up now since I have to go for training in half an hour.'

  Just as he came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, there was a knock at the door.

  "Kaida, wake up! We have to go for training!"

  'Yomi is already here. Well, that's great, I don't have to go fetch her,' Kaida thought.

  Kaida opehe door and said, "What do you mean wake up? I am already ready. Let's go; we only have 5 minutes left."

  "Yeah, good m to you too, jerk," Yomi said.

  "Who the hell is teag you these words? I thought you were the nid good kid among the two of us," Kaida said with a cheeky smile on his face.

  "We don't have time for your useless questions, let's go otherwise we will be te," she said and ran toward the backyard of the orphanage.

  ...

  When they both reached their destination, they found that Hiroshi was already present there and looked like he was waiting for them. He turo them and said, "You guys are te by 10 minutes."

  "We are on time, Uncle. You asked us to e here at 5:00 A.M.," Kaida said with a puzzled look on his face.

  "This is your first lesson Kaida, so listen carefully. If you are on time, then you are already 10 mie. A ninja should always arrive at their destination early so they study their surroundings and make pns for future or possible frontations. Am I clear?" Hiroshi said, now in a serious demeanor different from his usual joyful and easygoing nature.

  "Yes, sir," they both replied, now pletely alert.

  "Okay, now to make a training pn for you, first I want both of you to run around this area until you 't run anymore," Hiroshi said with a military sergeant tone.

  The circumference of that area was nearly 150 meters. They both heir heads without a single question and started running. After only 8 rounds, Yomi stopped running, panting heavily. Kaida went for 8 more rounds and theopped running.

  Seeing the dejected expression on Yomi's face, Hiroshi said, "Don't worry, Yomi. Acc to the standard of a 5-year-old child, your performance was great too. It's just that Kaida has already unlocked his chakra, whidirectly makes his body more powerful."

  "Uncle, I also want to unlock my chakra. you please teach me how to do that?" Yomi asked. Though she may not look like it, she was a really petitive person.

  "Of course, I will teach you. But first, let's tih our physical testing," Hiroshi said.

  After running, they both had to do push-ups, pull-ups, and squats, with Kaida's score being more or less around 25-30 and Yomi's score being 10-15 at max, and that was after pushing herself to limits.

  "Hmm, okay. Both of you are i physical dition. Now, first, Yomi, e forward. I will check if you unlock your chakra now or if you have to wait for some time."

  Hearing that, Yomi became excited and hurried toward the old man. He pced his hand on her back, and a blue aura could be seen on his hand. After nearly 5 mihe old man removed his hand, stood back, and said,

  "gratutions, Yomi. You are close to unlog your chakra too. You just have to do meditation until you unlock your chakra. The meditation teique is..."

  *(a/n: Hey guys, I could just write any simple or plex meditation teique that will be copied from the i, but I decided to leave it bnk sihat meditation teique will not be a real one. I have e up with a meditation teique of my own for this, and it will be discussed iure, not now :-p)*

  "Yomi, you go back. Kaida, now it's your turn. e forward."

  When Kaida approached the old man, he performed the same task, c his hand with chakra and pg it on Kaida's back. After 5 minutes, he removed his hand, stood up again, and said, "Kaida, you already have quite a good amount of chakra, so you skip the meditation part and directly jump into an exercise reted to chakra trol. Though I'm not saying that you don't have to meditate, but that you have to do two exercises at the same time."

  "Uncle, I have a questioed to chakra," Kaida asked, sihe topic of chakra was already going this was the perfect time to ask his doubts anyway.

  "What is it?" Hiroshi asked.

  "Yesterday, I tried to move my chakra like it was my hand or foot, but it never worked even though I tried really hard. So, I decided to ge my approad treat chakra as air, which did move it a little but not like how I wa to move. It was more like a vibration than a movement," Kaida expined his doubt and experience.

  "Well, you are half right about treating chakra as air. Chakra is the energy in our body, which circutes in rhythm with the ninja's heartbeat, pulsing through their veins and energy pathways, syng with their physical and spiritual essence.

  To move your chakra, all you need is to think about the area you want to move your chakra to, and it will be spiritually guided to that area. This is one of the exercises you have to do to increase your chakra trol, where you have to pce a leaf on your head and try to stick it there. The longer you maintain it, the greater your chakra trol will be. Anything else?"

  "No, thank you, Uncle," Kaida bowed a back to his position.

  "Now, both of you go bad take some rest, e baorrow. By then, I will have a personal training pn for both of you," Hiroshi said.

  Hearing that, both of them sighed in relief. Even though the idea of training was exg in the beginning, after pushing themselves to their limit for so long they were exhausted and couldn't tinue anymore, so the end of training was a very big relief to them.

  They went back to the orphanage dining area sihey were super hungry due to all the physical exercise they had dohey took a hearty amount of food on their ptes ao the er table to sit. This time, Suri maintained his distance from them while eating. Yomi asked, "Kaida, what will you do for the whole day?"

  "I am thinking the exercise the old man just taught me."

  "Well, I was also thinking of doing the same. But since I will not get any priva my room to meditate, I will also e to your room to do my meditation practice."

  "Okay," Kaida replied, uanding the need for it, as this was one of the reasons he asked for a separate room for himself.
