================================================================
After coming back to their houses, it was already time for dinner, so they ate at their usual restaurant and then went back to sleep.
Kaida, after a long time, felt happy and satisfied with the day. When he woke up the next day, he was surprised to feel that his chakra reserves had increased—not by much, but there was an improvement. If one were to estimate, it was around 2 percent bigger than before.
He got up from bed, completed his bathroom needs, and then went to call Yomi for morning training. They both completed their morning training with 2 hours of physical exercise and spent the rest of the time practicing tree climbing.
Kaida decided to add a leaf-floating exercise into the mix, as they needed to practice jutsus in the evening.
After completing their practice, they went back to their houses to get ready for the academy. After taking a bath, they went towards the academy, where their normal classes were now over, and they had to focus completely on their jutsu and weapons training.
As they didn't have any doubts related to jutsus, they went directly towards the training area to practice shuriken throwing.
Their accuracy had reached 100 percent with still targets, so they decided to move to the area with moving targets. Trying their luck, they found themselves back at level 1, unable to land a single hit.
They not only had to adjust their throwing but also calculate the expected position of the moving target, the time it would take to reach the target, and consider the airflow in the equation.
They began training diligently until Kenji arrived to tell them that they could go back since class time was over.
Of course, they could continue if they wanted, but Kaida decided to go back as they had made rapid improvements. They were now able to hit the target without any issue, though their aim was a bit off. It could be improved with practice, and he was not in a hurry. So, both of them left for their houses.
After reaching home, they decided to take a break of 1 hour before starting their jutsu training. Since they could now perform substitution jutsu without major problems, they decided to start with another jutsu: the clone jutsu.
Unlike the substitution jutsu, which required actual movement and focused more on the physical aspect of chakra, the clone jutsu mainly focused on the spiritual aspect.
They had to use their chakra to make an exact copy of themselves while thinking about what that copy should do, with hand signs helping to manipulate the chakra.
Since there was no actual harm involved in practicing this jutsu other than wasting chakra, Kaida and Yomi began their practice at the same time. Surprisingly, Yomi was able to form a clone on her first try, though it did not look much like her.
Seeing this, Kaida started his jutsu practice by imagining an exact copy of himself and thinking about it performing a basic punch. With a puff, a clone appeared in front of him and performed a basic punch in his direction, though it had no eyes and mouth.
They continued practicing as it didn't take a large amount of chakra, stopping whenever they found something important about the jutsu. After 1 hour of practice, they were able to make a clone do anything they wanted.
They also discovered that they could only make a clone of themselves; it didn't work if they tried to imagine someone else.
The difficult part began when they had to imagine two different versions of themselves doing different tasks. This was like going from level 1 to level 10 in a game suddenly.
Most of the time, their clones came out with missing body parts or connected in strange ways. They continued practicing until dinner time and were able to make two clones perform simple tasks like walking in a straight line or moving their heads up and down.
They went to eat dinner as usual, and after that, they went directly to their houses to sleep. Kaida first decided to empty his chakra reserves by doing the leaf-floating exercise, managing to do it for 1 hour. This was a big improvement as he was not in peak condition. After that, he went back to sleep.
For the next three days, they followed the same steps: morning training, shuriken throwing at the academy, and clone jutsu training in the evening.
By the end of the third day, they were able to form 6 clones each, performing different tasks. Since the academy only required them to form 3 clones, they decided this was enough and moved on to the next jutsu, which Kaida was most excited for.
Talking about the transformation jutsu, it was a mixture of both physical and spiritual aspects of chakra. They had to modify the chakra according to the image in their minds, ensuring that every part of the image was clear.
First, they decided to transform into a boy and a girl since they were taught about human anatomy in the academy. Both of them were able to copy the features of the person they were trying to mimic, with Kaida copying Ryota and Yomi copying a friend from the orphanage.
Though there were some dissimilarities, they could be countered with practice. Next, they decided to copy each other's appearance, which also worked well, as they knew about the differences between male and female anatomy.
However, when Kaida tried to transform into a wolf, he was unable to do so, and the chakra was wasted. He expected this result as he didn't know anything about wolf anatomy, so he decided to visit the library after tomorrow's academy classes.
They practiced the jutsu some more and then went back to sleep after eating dinner.
