Kapitel 3: Plan of Action
"So which one would it be?" Daichi asked.
"I will stick to Renjiro Uzumaki. It is the only thing I have left reminding me of my parents."
Renjiro replied without hesitation. Renjiro had already thought of this beforehand and he was prepared to stick to his decision. He had weighed out the pros and cons of both options.
The Uchiha clan could provide a lot of things for the current him that could help him grow quickly in both power and influence. To Renjiro, the most important thing the clan could offer was their backing.
It would provide a blanket against someone who Renjiro thought was a menace to Society. The person in question was none other than Shimura Danzo.
The Uchiha clan could be a bulwark for Renjiro as Danzo would undoubtedly want to recruit him to the root especially now that he had awakened his Sharigan.
Just Imagine an Uzumaki who could use the Sharingan, even Renjiro was scared of his potential!
But in as much as it could bring boons to Renjiro, it was not enough to move him. With his potential, it was inevitable to cross paths with Danzo and only his personal strength would be enough to act as a deterrent.
Besides, Renjiro did not like to be tied down and taking up the Uchiha name would be exactly doing that. With all the drama and clan politics in the village regarding the Uchiha, it sickened him and he wanted no part in it.
There was no point in taking up the name and then discarding it later when he was strong enough. Although it was a huge gamble, Renjiro decided to take the risk as he hoped he would get the Sasuke treatment after the Uchiha Massacre.
"You have strong resolve Renjiro," Daichi remarked.
'Still, I must find a way to tie him to the clan, his Uzumaki abilities could be useful for the clan later.' Daichi thought.
In truth, Daichi was testing Renjiro. He wanted to know what kind of person Renjiro was, and his answer just proved it to him.
Although this was not quite the preferred outcome, Daichi decided to give Renjiro some time and Monitor him. After all, his top priority was to ensure all sharingans were still within the clan.
"I will have to ask someone to join Miwa in helping you settle,"
As they were heading out, Daichi held back Miwa for a minute while Renjiro was out of the hall waiting for the help they were to receive.
Miwa and Daichi finished just in time as their help arrived. To his surprise, it was none other than a young Fugaku who seemed to be in his late teens.
After a few final arrangements, Renjiro Uchiha was provided with accommodation where he would live alone. This was a total surprise to Renjiro as he assumed that he would stay with Miwa since they related.
This wasn't feasible due to the nature of her work as a Jounin, which made her occupied with missions.
His living quarters consisted of a traditional, one-room apartment on the upper floors of one of the well-maintained Uchiha clan buildings. The space was compact but comfortable, furnished with the essentials.
The walls were constructed of sturdy wood, polished to a warm, inviting sheen. The wooden floorboards were smooth and meticulously maintained, adding to the overall sense of tidiness.
A simple, low table sat in the centre of the room, flanked by a pair of cushions for seating. Shoji screens separated his sleeping area from the rest of the room.
A door led to a small, open balcony that offered a view of the Uchiha clan's training grounds and the distant rooftops of the Hidden Leaf Village. The sleeping area featured a futon and a low, elegant wooden cabinet. The cabinet provided storage space for clothing and personal belongings.
The compact kitchen area included a stove, a washbasin, and a low counter with a few basic utensils and cookware. A door could be pulled to separate the kitchen from the main living space.
Although the accommodations were simple, they bore the hallmarks of the Uchiha clan's disciplined lifestyle and attention to detail.
From his chats with Miwa, as she escorted him to his new residence, Renjiro concluded that he was born immediately after the second shinobi war. The Hokage rock he saw with only three heads simply cemented this.
'Well, that's good. This should make me a couple of years older than Kakashi. At least I have a decade or two to become strong and survive Itachi and Obito's Slaughterfest.'
He hoped to be stronger to, at the very least, alter the timeline events to a more favourable future. But he also had to be realistic as Itachi and Obito killed older, skilled Jounins.
'First things first, I need to make a plan of action before I join the academy,'
He had around a year before he could get enrolled to the academy.
He wanted to catch up to his peers as the original Renjiro's chakra was only unlocked and he had not undergone any sort of training.
'I should probably focus on training my body and chakra. I should also try to train my Sharingan to improve it to the second and third tomoes.'
Renjiro had already thought of Fuinjutsu but he decided to put that on hold until he was in the academy. He had figured out that since he got the Sharingan from his maternal side, he would at least get something from his paternal side.
'There is no need having large chakra reserves and not be in full control of them. Once I get a solid foundation of those two, I can focus on the Sharingan and maybe start on my ninjutsu training.'
'I also need to visit the clan's library, and also the village's, and see if there is some useful technique for me. I also need to get a taijutsu technique.'
'Too many things to do, too little time.'
Renjiro sighed as he retired to his bed for the night. He knew he had a long day ahead of him the following day.
=====
In the Hokage's office, a room adorned with shelves of scrolls, ceremonial weapons, and the Hokage's iconic hat, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind his imposing wooden desk.
The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of lantern light casting long shadows across the aged Hokage's face. The Third Hokage, a middle-aged man with a deeply lined visage, bore the weight of his responsibilities with a mix of wisdom and determination.
It had been a long and tiring day, plagued by concerns over Iwagakure's activities in Kusagakure, the village hidden in the grass. The village's actions had given him many sleepless nights, and he knew that the task of maintaining peace and balance in and out of Konoha was a relentless one.
In this moment of solitude, a masked Anbu Shinobi materialized out of the shadows. The mask concealed the Anbu's identity, leaving only their calculating eyes visible. With a precise and silent grace, the Anbu handed Hiruzen Sarutobi a sealed scroll.
Hiruzen's fingers, calloused from years of leadership and jutsu, delicately unfurled the scroll, revealing its contents. As his eyes scanned the written words, a hint of recognition and perhaps a touch of amusement crossed his face.
He muttered under his breath, "So Daichi wants to integrate him into the clan."
Kapitel 4: Chakra Training
'No pain, No gain!'
Renjiro clung onto that phrase to enable him to complete his workout.
He already had decided on a workout plan. He would be doing a hundred pushups, pullups and squats. He would also run laps around his yard.
He did not have any way of measuring the distance but by his approximation, one lap around his yard was around a hundred meters so a hundred of such laps would result in ten kilometres (6.21 miles).
Renjiro knew that starting this from the get-go was a tall order. He opted to start with a fraction of the numbers and then gradually increase the reps and sets.
Renjiro took a break since he was spent after the workout. It was now time for his chakra control training.
Early on in the series, the concept of chakra control is introduced through the training exercises. Leaf balancing, Tree Climbing and Water Walking become the foundation for building precise chakra control.
These exercises require shinobi to employ a precise amount of chakra to hold the leaf in place and use their chakra to scale trees without their hands and to tread on the water's surface.
Renjiro concluded that the criteria for a solid foundation in chakra control was having mastery in all three exercises. He was about to begin with the leaf-balancing exercise.
Renjiro had already visited both libraries and already gotten basic information on the exercises.
The deceptively simple yet challenging task focuses on enhancing a ninja's precise control over their chakra. Its objective is to stick a single leaf, usually a dry, fragile leaf, on a specific part of the body, often the forehead or the tip of the nose, using nothing but chakra. The leaf should remain in place without falling.
Easy right?
Wrong.
The troubling part is the mental focus required. Successfully balancing the leaf requires intense concentration and focus. The ninja must channel their chakra with unwavering intent and maintain that concentration to prevent the leaf from falling.
Under the shade of a towering tree, Renjiro sought a moment of stillness.
Seated in the traditional cross-legged position, Renjiro closed his eyes and began to calm the turbulence of his thoughts. All his worries vanished, replaced by a singular focus on the present moment.
With each measured breath, his mind settled into a state of serene clarity. He visualized the turmoil dissipating like ripples on a pond, leaving only the core of his being.
In the palm of his hand, he held a fragile leaf. With a few slow breaths in and out, he channelled his focus onto the leaf, his fingers brushing against its surface with a gentle touch.
Then, with deliberate care, Renjiro raised the leaf to the centre of his forehead. It quivered against his skin. He felt the connection between his chakra and the leaf a subtle dialogue between energy and life.
Renjiro concentrated his chakra on that precise spot, the very centre of his forehead, and he felt the subtle movement of his energy. The chakra flowed, guided by his intent and purpose. Within moments, the leaf, which had once teetered on the precipice of his skin, adhered firmly to his forehead.
The achievement filled him with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. He had harnessed his chakra, channelled it and achieved the desired result.
However, Renjiro's elation was short-lived. As he repeated the process again and again, the leaf's adherence became inconsistent.
'It's like I'm getting worse with every try.'
Frustration set in, overshadowing his earlier success. What frustrated Renjiro even more was that he was losing significant amounts of chakra in the process.
'Calm down Etha- No Calm down Renjiro. It's called the leaf concentration exercise. You can't be calm and concentrate if you are frustrated.' Renjiro tried to calm himself down.
The first thing he had read from the books was that chakra control, like life itself, required balance and mastery.
Unfortunately, things did not get better as the only improvement Renjiro saw after an hour was his frustration levels. He was wrestling with the delicate art of chakra control, and it was proving to be a formidable opponent.
'Dammit! What am I doing wrong?' Renjiro racked his brain but he could not find a solution to his problem.
Exhausted and disheartened, Renjiro rose from his spot under the tree and dusted himself off. With a deep sigh, he made his way to Miwa's place. It hurt his ego but he was not dumb enough to realize when he needed help.
Renjiro approached the entrance. As he knocked then pushed open the doors and stepped inside, he was met with Miwa was seated on a tatami mat.
"Renjiro," she acknowledged with a nod,
"How can I help you?"
Renjiro settled opposite Miwa.
"Miwa-sama, I... I've been trying to master chakra control, but it's more challenging than I imagined. I succeeded at first, or I think I did. After repeating the process, I've been losing chakra. I can't seem to achieve it."
Miwa regarded him with a measured, understanding gaze.
"Show me exactly what you were doing." Miwa urged Renjiro
Renjiro obliged and did as he was told. Just like his previous attempts, Renjiro failed. Miwa noticed his frustration.
"It is good that you have taken the first step by seeking help. Chakra control is as much about self-discovery as it is about technique." Miwa paused to let the words sink in.
"Do you know why the exercise is performed on the forehead and not any other part of the body?"
"Is it because it is near to our brains? If we can attain control of the chakra near our brains it will be easier."
"Close Enough. It is because of something called Tenketsu. It can be simplified to a hole where our body releases chakra. There is one on your forehead. If you can control the chakra released from there then your overall chakra control increases."
'Oh! Those are the points that the byakugan reveals to Hyugas. But if people know this why aren't there techniques that help people fully increase the output of these points?'
"So how do it do it?" Renjiro asked.
"First try meditation then just release chakra not from your whole forehead but from that Tenketsu alone."
Renjiro followed her instructions, closing his eyes and breathing in, then out, slowly and deliberately.
"Let go of your frustration," Miwa continued in a soothing tone. "In meditation, you'll find the clarity and mental discipline you seek. Your chakra is a part of you, and you must learn to flow with it, not against it."
It did not take long for Renjiro to form a connection with his chakra. He then focused on his head and tried to release it. It was hard at first, but after a few more attempts Renjiro got a hang of it.
It was akin to consciously choosing to breathe with your mouth instead of your nose. Once you get a hang of it, you could even switch between the two in a heartbeat.
With enough chakra being released a weak grip was established and the leaf finally stuck on Renjiro's forehead.
'That's what I am talking about!'
Renjiro was happy to finally do it. Now he just had to keep this up for as long as he could.
'Was it this easy?'
Renjiro thought the exercise was easy and wondered why many characters struggled with it. That's when he realized the main objective of the exercise.
You had to hold the leaf in position for as long as possible to better your control. It was just like breathing exercises in vocal practice.
The more you exhale and inhale at controlled rates, the more you can hold the sound. In this case, if you regulate the chakra output, your control increases.
But prolonging the time the leaf sticks on your forehead was like continuously exhaling, and that was the ultimate test.
Miwa noticed Renjiro's action and timed him. She was surprised at how long he could concentrate on the exercise.
"More than half a minute. Good work Renjiro. This is a great result for your first try."
"Thanks, Miwa-sama, this was all because you guided me."
"Don't worry, whenever you are stuck I will always try my best to help."
Overall Renjiro was elated since he was an overachiever in his past life, so he was always used to things coming quickly to him with less effort applied.
But things were different here, evidently, as with the leaf balancing exercise. Renjiro did not let this get into his head though. He was painfully aware of how this was just the first step in a long journey ahead.
