Chapter 5: Chakra control
As I returned home, I was greeted by my family.
My father was on a mission, as always. He was a chunin with quite some fame in the Kirigakure Kenjutsu Corps, but he could not be considered and influential figure by all means. Still, he had passed down a couple of ninjutsu and kenjutsu scrolls to me.
[Name - Takeshi Ryu | Level 12 Academy Student [130 / 380 EXP]
Attributes:
Strength - 14 [D] | Agility - 15 [D] | Vitality - 15 [D] | Chakra - 36 [C]
Perk - Water Elemental Talent (Medium) [+], Swordsmanship Talent (Medium) [+]

All four ninjutsu I had came from my father's inheritance.
As for my mother, she used to be a genin, but quickly retired after experiencing a traumatic experience. She had silver hair, just like myself, and there was no doubt that I was her son.
"Welcome home!", she said with a welcoming tone, to which I merely nodded.
It was pretty weird. They were strangers, and worse still, they were NPCs from a fictional story. I could not bring myself to become the Takeshi they knew, and I did not want to either.
After eating dinner, I went to bed early and started to meditate.
[You have completed a cycle of water meditation technique]
[Your chakra increases slightly]
[Your chakra control increases slightly]
In Kirigakure, there were exercises to increase your chakra control, most of which were taught in the Kirigakure Genin Corps. However, after showing my talent in ninjutsu, my father decided to pass down all he knew to me. It took a lot of negotiations, but at the end of the day, I was hi son.
One of those exercises was to take a glass of water, and use chakra to stir it. The better your chakra control, the faster the rotation. The goal was not to break the glass, which was quite tough. Unlike jutsu where the hand seals allowed you to shape the water automatically, this exercise relied purely on chakra control.
Although the notifications told me that that my chakra and chakra control increased, I felt nothing.
However, compounded over years, I knew that this was a worthwhile exercise.
The next day, I left without a word after taking a few loaves of bread.
[You have consumed a loaf of bread. Your vitality increases slightly...]
[You will not feel hunger for the following 6 hours]
Ignoring the notifications, I went straight to the academy. After all, the academy was the perfect place to grow stronger...
