Chapter 22: Chapter 22 : Chakra Affinity 2
I honestly was expecting some kind of fight but it was very easy to take the elephant out after his mobility was hindered.
Even his water wasn't able to do anything in that bog, besides increasing the depth of the bog that is. Killing him though was a little hard but with some explosion tag, I managed it.
I was certain now that the elephant was not suited for face-to-face fighting.
I wanted to start the summoning ritual for the next shikigami but I was already out of chakra. So can't do anything about it.
It was time to visit Iruka in the academy anyway.
But... How do I get out of this forest now? I came by flying on top of Nue. But now I am almost out of chakra...
—-
It took too much time to get out of that damn forest but finally, I am here. In front of me was the academy which I never got to experience. I am sure it would have been fun.
It was already evening, I couldn't help but hope that Iruka had some time for me!
Entering the academy, directly went for the place where teachers usually sit.
"Iruka Sensei," I called out as I saw only 4 people in the staff room. Iruka was checking some paper but upon seeing me there he showed a smile on his face.
"Shika. What are you doing here ?" Iruka asked as he put his paperwork aside.
"Ah well, I actually wanted to ask you a question Iruka sensei if you don't mind," I asked.
"Sure, if I can help then I will. Ask away." Iruka looked actually happy that one of his old students came back to him to ask him a question. Even looking a little eager to help.
"I just recently tested that I have water and yin affinity. I want to train in water affinity but don't know how to. And have no one to ask. Do you know how I can do so?" I asked with a little helpless smile on my face.
But after hearing what I said, Iruka was surprised.
"Chakra Nature Transformation. That chunin level skills Shika. Are you sure you want to learn something like that right now? It's gonna be hard." Iruka asked with a little serious face. He has seen many students who want to just learn cool Jutsus. And though it's better that they get stronger but only Jutsu is not everything.
He didn't want Shika to be like that.
"Yes, I have just recently been in 2 C rank missions. And I quickly realized that having a powerful technique can be a deciding factor between life and death. So I want to learn nature chakra transformation. " I reply with a firm look on my face.
But upon hearing this Iruka looked even more serious and alarmed.
"C rank mission, Last I remember you are not into any team. Though it's allowed but still you shouldn't take a C-rank mission this early Shika.
And what about this dead and live situation? What did you experience in this two C rank mission anyway ?" Iruka asked slowly, remembering that we were not alone here.
So he stood up and gestured for me to follow.
He took me to an empty classroom and then finally asked me to explain.
"Sigh, well I can't explain everything, it's classified info now but to summarise what happened, the first C rank mission which was supposed to be a simple search mission turned into a kidnap mission and I ended up fighting a Genin. And another one, I had to go out of the land of fire and protect a royalty there. Can't say more than that. Hokage sama asked me not to." I replied but this much was enough to completely take Iruka by surprise.
Iruka now have no idea what to say to his student. He pauses, trying to understand the situation. If even Hokage was involved and put the info as classified, then it must be important.
Iruka can't help but gasp.
"What have you been doing all this time ?" He almost said in a scolding tone. Though his worry about me was clear in his tone.
"Sigh, it's just my luck. I just took a simple C rank but both turned into far bigger than my pay grade.
Now you understand right? That's why I need to want to learn Water Style." I asked Iruka.
Hearing this Iruka, hmm, looking like he was contemplating things but he finally nodded.
"Okay, though I myself am not a water-style ninja but I know how to train in it. But that is all I can tell you. Can't help you in this more than that." Iruka replied.
Hearing this my face lit up. "That's fine Iruka Sensei. That much too is enough to get me started."

I finally konw how to go about training in water-style chakra nature transformation. It's actually quite simple. For wind chakra like how it was shown in the anime, one has to grind their chakra to make a sharp blade.
For water, one just has to condense the chakra and make it flow like water. Water is the only nature beside earth which is hard to produce with just chakra. It has much more sustain than just fire, wind or lightning after all.
So it's advisable to rather control an already existing water body than to make water with your chakra. That will need a huge amount of chakra.
A simple way to train in water-style chakra nature transformation was to take a cup and completely fill it with water. Enough that it's almost close to spilling.
Then one can try two different exercises in that. One is to place a leaf on that water surface and try to control it by rotating it with just controlling the water. And to make the water spill with by adding more water in there by condensing water with your chakra.
These are the two simple basic ways to start the training.
Seems like I need to give the clone something else to do. Lets do the sealing at night, clone at home will do the water chakra nature transformation training full-time from now.
And when it comes to Yin chakra. After talking with Iruka, the only thing Yin is useful according to him is Genjutsu.
There are certainly other things but Iruka don't know others. I am sure that Shikaku would know so I will ask him later. But when it comes to Genjutsu.
Maybe I should give it a try.

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 : Great Serpent
After a day of rest, I was ready to face another Shikigami. This time, my target was the great serpent. Now this one wasn't in the plan but now that I have time then I better just do it.
After all, I don't plan to take a mission for a long time. So it's best that get prepared. Not to mention, the great serpent might be the biggest Shikigami out of all, it can actually fight with those giant summons which later appear in the series.
It wouldn't be easy, but I had a plan. The Forest of Death was the perfect place for this battle as usual, the dark, dense, and full of narrow paths where the serpent couldn't do direct attack easily. It it were a little smaller then it would have been another thing altogether but with this size, it surely would be a hassle for him to move around in the forest.
I prepared myself, going over the plan in my head one more time. I needed to summon the serpent in a tight spot, that he is most important, and then lure it into a trap I had set up earlier, filled with explosive tags, fun fact I made them, I am getting better at fuinjutsu. If everything went well, I could capture it without too much trouble.
As I entered the forest, the familiar eerie silence greeted me. The trees loomed overhead, their branches intertwining like a cage. I honestly am not a fan of this forest, it always gave me an eerie feeling, even last time when exorcising the elephant, I felt like this.
I quickly found a good narrow path with the help of Rabbits, the perfect spot to summon the serpent. My heart pounded in my chest as my chakra started to rile up, but I steadied my breath. Slowly I pour my chakra into my shadow while making a particular hand sign which looks like a serpent while, A fun fact is that this is the only shinigami which needs one hand to summon.
I performed the hand seals, feeling the chakra flow through me. "Great Serpent!" I called out, and the air around me got heavy, this feeling was much different than any other spirit I had summoned so far. The ground trembled, making me tense a little, this really never happened before and then a massive form of the white serpent materialized before me, its eyes glowing with malice.
My eyes shot up with alarm...
That... that size is not just big, it's massive. It's definitely equal to those boss-level summons. What the hell?
The serpent hissed, lunging at me with incredible speed. I barely dodged its first strike, feeling the wind from its movement brush against my face.
Shit, what the point of doing all that planning when this guy can just break all those trees in his path.
"NO, just move, there are other ways. Just keep your distance and hide, wait for your time." I muttered to myself, dashing down the narrow path, making sure the serpent followed me even deeper into the forest. I don't want those ambu to come rushing here any time soon.
Why the hell its so big? In the anime it was big but not this big.
The trees blurred past as I ran, the serpent hot on my heels. I could hear its massive body crashing through the underbrush, relentless in its pursuit. My lungs burned, but I couldn't afford to slow down. The trap was just ahead.
'NUE, Gama.' I immediately made multiple hand signs and brought out all my other shikigamis.
"Go and distract the guy Nue," I said to the bird, and it immediately flew high with lightning flickering around its winds.
"Toads, go use the tongue to slow that damn snake," I commanded both the spirit as I rushed forward.
And though they did work but with that massive size, it was almost impossible.
I reached the clearing where I had set up the explosive tags, taking out a few more Dorzen tags just in case and throwing them around and then replacing myself with a clone. This was it. I skidded to a stop, turning to face the serpent. It reared back, ready to strike, but I was faster. I threw a kunai, laced with chakra, right at the nearest tag.
"BOOM"
My ears were booming by this point.
That blast was so powerful that it almost knocked me back.
The explosion was deafening. The ground shook, and flames erupted around the serpent, engulfing it in a fiery inferno. I shielded my eyes from the blast, hoping the tags would be enough to subdue it.
As the smoke cleared, I saw the serpent thrashing, struggling to escape the burning debris. It was weakened but not defeated.
"What the hell? It's not done? How the hell did Sukuna kill this guy that easily then?
...
Well that Sukuna but still he was only at 15% of his power."
I can't help but ponder what kind of horror would Sukuna would have been with full power and Gogo fought him and Mahoraga alone.
Damn.
'Shadow Possession Jutsu!' I didn't give him more time to heal, my shadow stretching across the ground, reaching for the serpent. It connected, and I felt the familiar tug of control. The serpent's movements slowed.
But damn that snake is strong, it was just so easy to capture the elephant. Just explain how capturing some shikigami's is much easier than others.
"Got you," I whispered, tightening my grip. The serpent hissed, but it couldn't break free. or more like it wasn't trying, it was tail veiling in pain. I poured more chakra into the jutsu, forcing it into submission.
"Now NUE," I shouted and that was when the bird carrying a bag of explosive tags flew by, dropping the bag right at the serpent's mouth.
Boom....
Another big explosion happened but this wasn't that big. I was running out of explosion tags there.
But it finally did the deed.
I released the jutsu, watching as the serpent's form shimmered and dissolved into my shadow. Exhaustion washed over me, but I felt a sense of accomplishment.
I have to say that that was stronger than I anticipated it to be. Shikigami's are really getting stronger the higher up I go.
But maybe mainly becuase this was an attack-type shikigami. Elephant wasn't and that's why contracting him was so damn easy.
Phew... with all the ruckus I cause, there is no way I can use this place any time soon.
I knew that Ambu might have already come to this place so I immediately removed all my other shadows and used Nue to fly high. So up that others can't notice me.
With the coverage of the forest, it's almost impossible to stop a bird anyway...
I can't use this place for some time now.
I better start to find another place... to summon the other Shikigami's.
But with that said, this serpent was big enough that it can even fight with those big boss level summons.
I really got someting good this time.
