Bab 6: Chapter 6: Training
There is some movement in my chakra reserve, but it's more like a vibration than actual movement. Well, since I've tried everything I could think of, I'll just ask the old man about this tomorrow.
Next morning...
At 4:30 A.M., Kaida woke up and thought:
*Oh! Sleeping without constant pain is nice. I feel fresh and energetic. Let's finish my morning routine since I have to go for training in half an hour.*
Just as he came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, there was a knock at the door.
"Kaida, wake up! We have to go for training!"
*Yomi is already here. Well, that's great; I don't have to wait for her, at least,* Kaida thought.
Kaida opened the door and said, "Oh! You're already here. That's great. Let's go; we only have 5 minutes left."
"Yeah, good morning to you too, jerk," Yomi said.
"Well, no need for pleasantries between friends. Now, let's go."
...
When they both reached their destination, the old man was already present. He turned to them and said, "You guys are late by 10 minutes."
"We are on time, old man. You said to come here at 5:00 A.M.," Kaida said with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is your first lesson, so listen carefully. If you are on time, then you are already 10 minutes late. A ninja should always arrive at their destination early so they can study their surroundings and make plans for future or possible confrontations. Am I clear?"
"Yes, sir," they both replied.
"Okay, now to make a training plan for you, first I want both of you to run around this area until you can't run anymore."
The circumference of that area was nearly 150 meters. They both nodded their heads and started running. After only 8 rounds, Yomi stopped running, panting heavily. Kaida went for 8 more rounds and then he stopped running.
Seeing the dejected expression on Yomi's face, the old man said, "Don't worry, Yomi. According to the standard of a 4-year-old child, your performance was great too. It's just that Kaida has already unlocked his chakra, which indirectly makes his body more powerful."
"Old man, I also want to unlock my chakra. Can you please teach me how to do that?" Yomi, though she may not look like a really competitive person, asked eagerly.
"Of course, I will teach you. But first, let's continue with our physical testing," said the old man.
After running, they both had to do push-ups, pull-ups, and squats, with Kaida's score being more or less around 25-30 and Yomi's score being 10-15.
"Hmm, okay. Both of you are in great physical condition. Now, first, Yomi, come forward. I will check if you can unlock your chakra now or if you have to wait for some time."
Hearing that, Yomi became excited and hurried toward the old man. He placed his hand on her back, and a blue aura could be seen on his hand. After nearly 5 minutes, the old man removed his hand, stood back, and said, "Congratulations, Yomi. You are close to unlocking your chakra too. You just have to do meditation until you unlock your chakra. The meditation technique is..."
*(a/n: Hey guys, I could just write any simple or complex meditation technique that will be copied from the internet, but I decided to leave it blank since that meditation technique will not be a real one. I have come up with a meditation technique of my own for this, and it will be discussed in the future, not now :-p)*
"Yomi, you can go back. Kaida, now it's your turn. Come forward."
When Kaida approached the old man, he performed the same task, covering his hand with chakra and placing it on Kaida's back. After 5 minutes, he removed his hand, stood up again, and said, "Kaida, you already have quite a good amount of chakra, so you can skip the meditation part and directly jump into an exercise related to chakra control.
Though I'm not saying that you don't have to meditate, you have to do two exercises at the same time."
"Old man, I have a question related to chakra," Kaida said.
"What is it?" the old man, Hiroshi, asked.
"Yesterday, I tried to move my chakra like it was my hand or foot, but it never worked. So, I decided to treat chakra as air, which did move it a little but not like how I wanted it to move," Kaida explained.
"Well, you are half right about treating chakra as air. Chakra circulates in rhythm with the ninja's heartbeat, pulsing through their veins and energy pathways, syncing with their physical and spiritual essence. To move your chakra, all you need is to think about the area you want to move your chakra to, and it will be spiritually guided to that area.
This is one of the exercises you have to do to increase your chakra control, where you have to place a leaf on your head and try to stick it there. The longer you can maintain it, the greater your chakra control will be. Anything else?"
"No, thank you, old man," Kaida bowed and went back to his position.
"Now, both of you can go back and come back tomorrow. By then, I will have prepared a personal training plan for both of you," said the old man.
Hearing that, both of them went back to the orphanage dining area since they were super hungry due to all the physical exercise they had done. They took a hearty amount of food on their plates and went to the corner table to sit. This time, Suri maintained his distance from them while eating. Yomi asked, "Kaida, what will you do for the whole day?"
"I am thinking of trying the exercise the old man just taught me."
"Well, I was also thinking of doing the same. But since I will not get any privacy in my room to meditate, I will also come to your room to do my meditation practice."
"Okay."
