( Yuto Pov )
Kuro:" I'm surprised that you managed to learn Sage mode, kid."
" Is it that hard?"
Kuro:" The last person that tried turned into a fish in that's river."
" I see."
At the moment, I'm talking to Kuro, a black panther. He's probably the eldest of the elders. He's had an affinity for Yin and space.
I've had the space affinity unlocked, but I don't know how to train it or have any techniques for it.
So when Suki introduced the elders, Kuro was the first one to catch my eye. The second was iona, who was a lion. She was like the opposite of Kuro. With an affinity of Fire and yang.
Kuro was an experienced old panther who was calm and collected. But most of all, he mostly just sleeps.
Iona was a hot tempered lion that was considered a young adult in the Holy Land. Apparently, she's in charge of training young cubs. She became an elder when her father retired, mostly just sleeping in a cave.
Kuro:" For now, you should try to feel fishes inside of the river, with relying on your chakra or senjutsu Chakra."
" Alright."
And I just stared at the river for an hour before Kuro spoke once again.
Kuro:" This requires patience. You won't be able to learn It in just a day. So don't worry."
"Alright,
Kuro:" Try to feel the air, the water, and the fishes."
" Okay." Nodding as I closed my eyes. I tried to sense the surrounding area. Within 13 minutes, I was able to see the trees and the air with my eyes closed.
Kuro:" You're able to sense the space in the air, that good, now try it on the water."
Doing as he said, I managed to sense the water.
Kuro:" Look, see how that river is rippling?"
opening my eyes to see where Kuro was pointing with his paw, I saw the water Ripple.
" Yes."
Kuro:" That means you're able to have some degree of control of space. Now I want you to push it to the water, do not splash the water, just enough to penetrate it with space and sense the fishes."
" Understood."
* Splash *
Kuro:" Again."
* Splash *
Kuro:" Feel the tunnel and make it smaller, then control your space to the other side. Once there, you could spread the space as much as you want."
I made a tunnel in the space, but as I did so, the river splashed, but to a smaller degree.
* Splash *
Kuro:" Make it smaller."
I tried to make the tunnel in the space for an hour before I managed to do it and was to sense the fishes in the river.
Kuro:" There you go. great job."

Kuro:" Well, this should be the last day you'll be here, right? " He spoke as he stretched and started to walk. Following him, I answered.
" Yes, though I didn't get to train with Iona today."
Kuro:" Don't worry about her kid. She's just being shy."
" I doubt that."
Kuro:" Well, you should get going, and remember, don't hesitate to summon me if you want."
" Understood, and thank you for teaching me, Kuro."
Kuro:" Yawn, yeah, sure goodbye."
Kai:" See you around, kid."
Suki:" Make sure to visit us in the future, or summon us if you have any problems."
Kai and Suki said their farewells as I took out the large summoning scroll and summoned myself back.
' Maybe I should be able to create a teleporting skill.'
I thought as I found myself in my room.
Taking the fuinjustu that would be able to summon me back off the floor and throw it away.
" Huh? I totally forgot you were here, Shiro."
Shiro:" Meow!"
I forgot about Shiro, who was sleeping on the pillow.
' Right! now I should be able to meet up with Shisui and Ryu to give them some of my sejustu chkara to make a communication line in the Kirigakure.'
Opening the widow, I let out a whistle and came to a cat that perched on the widow with a small backpack.
* Whistle *
Cat:" Meow."
" Here, I need you to deliver this to Ryu and Shisui."
Cat:" Meow"
After receiving the order, the cat left with the pouch.
' Now I should try out my new skills and wait till Shisui responds.'
Sitting down in the middle of the room, I spread my space sense and was only able to detect Shiro, who went back to sleep.
I didn't do this for the rest of the day until I was able to detect Hiroshi and Yuriko downstairs.
Finally, I was able to increase the skill I went downstairs, surprising Yuriko and Hiroshi.
Hiroshi:" Oh! kid, when did you come back?"
" Not too long ago, what for dinner."
Yuriko:" Ramen, the noodles had a great deal. Come sit down, Yuto, tell me about your training."
Hiroshi:" Yeah, kid, tell us what you've learned."
" Chuckling, alright."
And just like that, I told my parents about the training, the elders, Suki, Kai, Kuro, and Iona. And my time I spent training with them.
