章 11: Chapter 11 : Back To Grind

After coming back, meeting Hokage wasn't enough, I had to listen to quite a few things from both my uncle and aunt as well. Just like I thought, they were worried about me. But still, they gave me some slack as I was exhausted by the mission. Thought that didn't mean that I escaped the tongue-lashing which surely would come.

I just decided to not do anything for the time being, just rest.

After one day of doing nothing besides sleeping, eating and complaining about the lack of entertainment in this world, I sighed and was ready to go back to the grind. Of course, I won't be visiting Shikamaru's home any time soon, that would be another headache.

So no, I won't be going back there anytime soon. It's time to go back to Grind.

.

.

.

The next morning I was in front of the Konoha ninja Library. This wasn't the first place I came in the early morning, I originally wanted to talk with an Inuzuka. The problem was that I didn't know any other Inuzuka besides one.

Kiba Inuzuka.

So I went to the training ground 8 to meet him but he wasn't there. Ironically Konoha mark the training ground with numbers and to make things simpler assigns the team a training ground with the same number as their team.

That's why I went there in training ground 8 as Kiba was in team 8 with Hinata, Shino and Kurenai.

But he wasn't there, most likely on some mission. So coming here was my next best option. Here in the library, I can get something useful.

I learned from the last mission that I am highly inexperienced when it comes to real fights. Training alone and practising Kata's is not the same as fighting someone for real. Even sparing is better than training alone.

So I needed someone to spar with, no idea where I could find someone like that, maybe Guy and Lee, maybe.

But before I do that, I need to fix the obvious flaws in my taijutsu. I am here especially to get a suitable Taijustu style for me. The academy style is good but it's not suitable for me while the Nara don't have a particular style, they are not close combat fighters. They do have developed training styles based on many others' styles, but that's nothing specific.

I enter the place, and looking around it looks pretty empty, not many people seem to come here.

I read that only the ground floor was available for Genin's. To get better techniques, one has to be of higher rank. And even in that case, the Jutsu here are not that great.

Fortunately for me, I am not looking for Jutsu. When it comes to Taijutsu, there are a few styles which could be useful to me.

Took me half an hour to search around the place and finally find the right one.

Strong Fist Style, Swift Style and a few more.

While the others didn't attract my attention, the 2 Taijutsu clearly did. Because maybe others can't recognize style by names but I who have seen Naruto, can.

Strong Fist is Guy's Taijutsu Style.

And the swift style. What If I am not wrong this is the style that Minato Namikaze himself developed.

Now this is just me contemplating things but I believe in my Naruto knowledge.

But which is the best one for me?

I am not super strong and certainly can't focus all my attention on physical training. It's possible but I don't thing so that I can do that.

The swift release is better for someone like me in this regard. Though I am not that strong but I am slightly faster than others. Not to mention being fast in taking down enemies is more important for me than beating the enemy with brute force.

'Yeah, this could work, mostly working from the shadows, Capture them and quickly take people down. That could work.' I smile and memorize the style. This is a very common style in the village. Though nothing compares to the academy style. If I can make some changes in this technique with the help of a Taijutsu genius like Lee or Guy, I might be able to make a proper style for myself.

When it comes to Jutsu, well I needed none for the time being. I have many Shikigami's to exorcise before going after learning a powerful jutsu.

And it's not like I can get a good jutsu from here anyway. This library doesn't hold that kind of thing. Even in Chunin and Jonin levels, finding good jutsu gonna be hard.

I might be able to get something like Fire Ball or other C rank jutsu, yes fireball is C rank jutsu and in the hand of a master maybe B rank but that's it, but why waste time learning a Jutsu which never hits?

Honestly, if anyone has seen Naruto then they would know. That ball of fire is nothing but waste chakra. And I am even not sure what my chakra affinity is.

Anyway's no jutsu for the time being, and if I am learning then I rather put time into learning something good.

.

.

.

After getting out of the Library I went home, now knowing the current extent of my chakra. I knew that it its one shadow clone then I could afford to make it. But can let that clone work around the village. So I'm gonna make one clone at home and make him do Shadow Manipulation practice.

Even now my Shadow Manipulation was on the basic level, so I needed it to improve to the level that I could capture many people at the same time and increase the speed of my shadow moving around.

In the chunin exam, if only Shikamaru's shadow was faster then he could have captured Temari much faster without any outstanding planning on Shikamaru's path. Which I am a fan of but still I rather just have my shadow faster and stronger over coming up with an excellent plan out of my ass in all my fights.

Not like I can do something like that anyway, I am by no means Shikamaru Nara.

Leaving the Shadow Clone alone at home to do the training, I leave the place to do my own training. Mostly working on my Taijutsu.

.

.

.

After that I just went to train in the newly found Taijutsu style, I honestly just wanted to put a Shadow Clone on this but that won't do. Firstly the physical aspect can't be trained with Shadow Clones, not to mention I already have a clone working on Shadow Manipulation training, I can't make more than one clone anyway.

Okay for the time being let's not worry about that, my chakra also has limitations. But there are surely other ways that I can grow right. Like Genjutsu, Healing, Fuinjutsu, and Ken jutsu for close combat fighting. There is much to improve on.

But involving myself in something new, I first should master something I already have. While my clone works hard on shadow manipulation and I work on the taijutsu and shuriken jutsu, the only thing which is left right now is Ten Shadows.

That is my real power, my divine dogs did great but only having them is not enough. I need to form contract with other Shikigami's as well.

The simple once are of course Rabbit and Toads. But the rest are troublesome. Have to find a way to trap all of them. The rule is that I can't have anyone else in the excorcism ritual beside my already contracted shikigami's.

But I can decide where and when to start the ritual, that with already enough information about all the shikigami's from the anime, I can come up with some good traps to CATCH THEM ALL.

Hehehehe…

章 12: Chapter 12 : Tenten

After my first C rank mission, I kept up with some simple D rank missions as well. Though I absolutely detest them but technically they are more efficient if my training is considered. Doing a C rank mission takes somewhere around an entire day to a few days. Meaning I can't train while I am outside the village, if it was with a team then it makes sense to train but due to me being alone, I have to keep my strength all the time.

Compared to that, while I get paid less here doing normal D rank missions but I can continue my training all the time. But still, that doesn't mean that I won't be doing D rank missions anymore. It's just that I won't be taking them too many. Right now I have money and time. I should put all my priority on getting stronger.

Now when it comes to grind, well I have been keeping up good with training. Swift Fist Style, Shadow Manipulation, Shuriken Jutsu, Ken Jutsu and working on my Ten Shadow Technique.

I already contracted with both Rabbit and Toads. In fact, it was very simple to trap them too.

I just summon all those Rabbits on top of a lake. To my surprise, instead of drowning they swim out of there. So I have to stop all of them, there was an entire swarm of them, from coming out of the water with my shadow possession and then letting my dogs take care of them.

Took too much time for my liking but it worked.

To capture the toad, I just ended up using the Rabbits. The more chakra I put the more Rabbits I can summon, I just summon enough to block all sides. The toad's mobility was the biggest problem for me but once that was gone, I was able to capture him with Shadow Possession.

To my surprise, I only ended up summoning one big toad, not Jiraiya or Naruto level big but still big. I ponder how Megumi could summon multiple toads. After practicing a little I learn how exactly. It's about imagination.

I have come to realise that Ten Shadows is very much dependent on how I imagine things to happen. It's very different from Injutsu.

Now with 3 Shikigami's I am much better equipped to take any C rank missions. But I'm not planning on taking any mission for the time being.

I am again returning back to the grind. To be more specific, I am going back to chakra training. I already mastered tree walking but never tried water walking. I need to complete that quickly.

This was not just because I like running on top of the water, or I had to use a robe to hang on top of the lake to summon those rabbits to drown them in the lake, which ultimately didn't work anyway if anything that is only few parts of what I am here for today.

To be more exact, I need more chakra control. Its turns out that one needs really good chakra control to masterfully control the shadow around him. While I have been working hard on my body and close combat fighting, the only clone I can make has been working hard to master shadow manipulation at home.

There is improvement but just not enough, and I know why. My chakra control is shit. To really be able to stop powerful shinobi and strangle them with a shadow or even increase the speed of my shadow, I need to increase my chakra control.

With my knowledge of Naruto, there is only 5 chakra control training methods shown in the anime. Sticking the leave to any part of the body, Tree Walking, Water Walking, Learning healing jutsu as that too needs good chakra control or Genjutsu, and lastly a particular A rank jutsu which requires excellent chakra control to master with just one hand.

I really don't want to thin myself out with trying to learn multiple things right now, in the early days I should stick as much as possible to the basics.

And that is why I planned to first master the Water Walking and then see where it takes me. And while I do this, the clone back at home will be kept on working on the shadow Manipulation.

To start my training I needed a place with water, so I went to the same lake where I tried to drown those rabbits.

Taking out my ninja sandals, as it might be a little easier to start like that, I slowly put my feet on top of the water…

And it immediately sank…

"hmm okay, let's try to focus chakra there," I mutter as I again try, slowly trying to rotate my chakra at the bottom of my feet.

And then for a second, I noticed that I felt the water felt a little more solid under my feet, So I tried putting more pressure on the water.

"Okay.. Seems like it's working…

.

.

.

After 2 hours I was completely drained with water, sitting there with a tired look on my face.

"Two Steps, in two hours. Quite an impressive performance I must say." Suddenly a voice came making me alert, though it was still inside the village but an attack can come from any place at any time. This world is just that much dangerous.

I snap my head, only to look at a girl of my age, with two buns on her head, wearing a pink sleeveless shirt and Anbu-style pants and shoes.

I recognised her the moment I saw her, she was Tenten. But I can't act like I know her.

"Oh please, that was clearly two and a half steps," I reply with a roll of my eyes, looking at the girl, I can see that she was not that girly but had her own charm, and she was pretty, in her own way.

"Oh sorry sorry, two and a half steps." I see the girl rolling her eyes as she came closer with a smile on her face.

"Tenten, I am a genin like you. One year your senior." She said as she sat down on a rock with a little smile on her face.

'Hmm, I don't remember her personality this chatty in the anime…

But again this is not the anime.'

"Shika Nara, just became a Genin." I reply introducing myself.

"Hmm, don't you think it's a little early to learn water walking for you?" She asked, with a little curiosity in her eyes.

"I need better chakra control, it's not the water walking I am after." I after thinking about a little said honestly.

She look at little confuse after hearing this but then didn't continue the questioning.

"So you master tree walking already ?" She asked like she was talking with an absolute rookie who don't even know that one has to do tree walking before water walking.

"Yeah, all done." I reply as I felt my chakra recovering. That was the reason why I was waiting here, this was the only way that I can continue and the only way for me to increase my chakra pool. To continue to drain all my chakra in training, rest and repeat.

"Are you training here alone ? Where is your team ?" Tenten seems to have a free day today, otherwise why would the girl waste time like this.

"I don't got one. Am a solo Genin." I reply, honestly though I like not being alone here but still I rather not talk when I am so tired that I just wants to feel asleep right now.

"So you learn tree walking all alone ?" She aske with a little surprise on her face.

"Pretty much…,

What you are doing here. You look like someone who got a team unlike me." I asked, now getting interested why she would come here.

"Actually, same as you." She at this look a little sheepish and she ruffle her hairs.

I just blink my eyes at this.

"You are learning water walking ?" I asked, confuse. There is no way that even after being Genin for one year that she don't know water walking ?

"Ah, yes. My team focus too much on Taijutsu and close combat fighting. So our Jonin sensei didn't focus too much on this things." Tenten reply with a little embarrass look on her face, it was clear that he girl was trying to not blush.

"Seems like we both got it rough, team or not." I reply with an amuse face.

"Say, why don't we train together. Its pretty lonely training alone here anyway. Won't mine a pretty company like you." I said as I slowly stood up, ready to go back to grind.

Tenten on the other hand after hearing this took some time to digest the compliment. Acting like she never got a compliment like that. It completely caught her off guard.

"What you say, wanna train together ?" I raise my eye brows in questioning gaze ?
