★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★
It has been two weeks since ken commenced his intense training sessions under Might Gai. Gai may seem to appear as a happy-go-lucky man, But when it comes to matters regarding training he shows no compromise.
Chakra control was another important facet to ken's path to achieving strength if he has to ensure his survival in the coming future.He procured various books regarding chakra theory to improve his control from the library and achieved basic control over his chakra as a result.
The academy is reopening today. It's early morning in konohagakure, Morning dew can be seen falling from leaves with a chilly breeze blowing through the trees causing branches to lightly sway according to it's whims.
People are already up and about to start the day, while the occasional shadow can be seen as blurring from rooftop to rooftop while civilians ignore them like it's a regular monday.
Ken was walking towards the academy wearing black cargo pants, a dark blue vest, while wearing a mesh suit underneath it. His hair was styled and combed backwards showing off his face.(A/N: Imagine MC having a fringe hairstyle).
"The place here sure is different than what was shown in the anime"Ken inwardly ponders upon the differences from that of the anime and finds that the streets are much bigger with more alleys popping out at random. There are much more buildings than those shown in the anime.
"Figures, you can't fully expect the animators to give a detailed background for places that you will only see a few times throughout the show, and what with new buildings being built, I shouldnt trust the anime to be an accurate map for reaching places".
Ken's musings were cut short as he had finally reached his destination. He finds a notice board with the class roster pinned upon it and finds his name in one of the classes. Knowing where he has to go ken moves on and enters his classroom.He couldn't recognize any children and found that not many paid attention to his entry.
"Phew,I'm relieved that the old cliche of the previous ken being a victim of bullying and being confronted didn't happen"
Ken thinking so goes towards the famous protagonist seat to sit.He looks around and finds that most of his classmates are cilivian kids through inferring from their appearances.
"This class must have those that have average or no value as shinobi and will probably end up in the genin corps or somewhere else"
Ken hears the door of the class opening and finds a shinobi wearing the leaf forehead protector on his left bicep entering.The man wears a standard green flak jacket announcing his status as a chunin. Ken doesn't recognize the man and concludes him to be some random cannon fodder.
The class goes silent after the man enters and he starts to speak"Good morning children, I will be your instructor for this year and I will try my best to make sure most of you graduate from here as capable shinobi"
The class responds with "Yes,Sensei".
The instructor starts taking attendance and carries on with classes, As ken's class is already a year or two away from graduation the classes mostly were about other countries geography,Practical classes like identifying poison, setting up traps and other shinobi related things.
The rest of the class was thus spent like this with sparring between students starting next week.Finally the last class ended with Ken being bored out of his mind he practically rushed out of the academy to continue training.
He went home and freshened up, had a light meal and approached training ground three. He had requipped his training weights while at home and started warming up. He started practicing basic stances and moved on intensive workouts and finally took a rest due to exhaustion after two hours.
Ken started meditating while sticking a leaf to his forhead while he concentrated on applying chakra on the leaf to prevent it from falling from his forehead. He kept on the task for 15 minutes and finally lost concentration, leading the exercise to end.
"Huff,Two weeks of training and I can only stick a leaf on my forehead for a quarter of an hour. I need to improve more,the clan kids my age must be capable of holding it for 2 hours atleast".
'I would like to learn jutsus as well but without knowing my affinity it is a waste of time. I better earn money to buy myself a chakra affinity paper, It costs about 20,000 ryo, an expense I cannot afford right now.'
'I better just focus on mastering chakra control and move onto chakra augmentation so I can finally start the strong fist styles practice,the more slow my progress is the faster I'll end up in a ditch dead.'
'Wait a minute,Muscles fibres grow stronger after they heal from getting torn what if I use iryo jutsu to heal faster wouldn't I have an infinite glitch to build a strong body'
'Well not infinite due to running out of chakra after a long time of usage. Medical ninjutsu mostly relies upon chakra control so i must increase my chakra control to at least water walking level, Yosh it's time to grind the hell out.'
Snapping out of his thoughts Ken immediately gets back to training with renewed vigor.
A FEW HOURS LATER...
Ken can be seen walking out of training ground three while limping.
"Uhhh, I was too deluded by my own fantasies I trained till I collapsed,I better reach home fast its already night"Saying so ken slowly limps towards his home.
To be continued....
