Upon returning to the Uchiha compound, Sasuke was aware that he had the entire day ahead of him. There was no time to waste. He couldn't afford a moment of weakness. The goal was clear in his mind: to train in privacy, away from the curious eyes of others. He headed to the clan's training ground, a space where he could focus without interruption.
The field was surrounded by tall trees, creating a natural barrier that isolated the area. It was a place where clan members used to gather to train, but now it was deserted, which was perfect for Sasuke. He took a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze on his face, and began to prepare.
Reaching the center of the field, Sasuke sat in a meditation position. Calmly, he took out the sensitive paper he had bought from the weapon shop. It was time to learn more about his chakra. He knew that, in his previous life, Sasuke Uchiha's chakra was predominantly fire and lightning, and although he believed the same applied to him, he wanted to confirm it personally. Uncertainty drove him, and each new piece of information was a vital part of his strategy for strengthening himself.
With the paper in hand, he closed his eyes and began to breathe in a controlled manner, calming his mind and body. The discipline he had acquired in his previous life as a soldier allowed him to find focus quickly. He visualized his chakra flowing through his body, feeling the vibrant energy in every cell.
"Let's go," Sasuke thought, guiding his energy towards the paper. The movement was subtle but firm. He knew he needed to concentrate his chakra, and he did so with the precision of a trained soldier. With every heartbeat, he sent energy to the paper, watching the reaction intently.
As soon as his chakra touched the paper, one side caught fire, burning rapidly and turning to ashes. However, the other side began to wrinkle, a reaction that confirmed his suspicions. The elements of fire and lightning were present, just like in the original Sasuke. "So, it hasn't changed," he reflected, a thought that mixed slight frustration and relief. At least the consistency of his chakra meant he still had a solid foundation on which to build.
"But this isn't the end," he thought, determined. There was more to discover, more forms of chakra he could acquire through training. This only reinforced his determination to become stronger. The ability to adapt and the pursuit of new skills were essential to survive and thrive in this new world.
Standing up, Sasuke looked at the field around him, imagining what he could do with this knowledge. He had vast potential ahead of him, and every day was an opportunity to shape his own destiny. Thus, he began his training, using the newly acquired weapons and his chakra in fluid and precise movements.
First, he decided to focus on his swordsmanship. Sasuke drew the blade and examined it carefully. The sword was light and well-balanced, perfect for a boy his age. He positioned himself in a combat stance, his feet firmly planted on the ground. Then, he began to practice cuts and thrusts, each movement thought out and executed with precision. He imagined enemies in front of him, each strike becoming more intense and faster. The sound of the blade cutting through the air echoed around him, creating a symphony of determination.
After a while, his body began to feel the strain. Sweat dripped down his forehead, but he didn't let it deter him. In his mind, each drop represented the effort needed to become stronger. He repeated the movements, seeking perfection in every strike. Constant practice, repetition, was an essential part of the training he knew very well from his previous life. Discipline was fundamental, and he remembered how armies were shaped by the rigidity of training.
After dedicating time to kenjutsu, Sasuke felt it was time to focus on chakra control. He knew he needed to raise his skill to a new level. So, he decided to use the Chakra Concentration Method, but not in the basic way that most young ninjas practiced. Instead of simply placing a leaf on his forehead, Sasuke challenged himself to hold more than one leaf in different parts of his body.
He took a few leaves from a nearby tree and positioned them on his forehead, arms, and hands. Concentration was crucial. He closed his eyes again, breathing deeply and feeling his chakra pulsating within him. He visualized the leaves as focal points, places where his energy could manifest.
"Let's see how capable I am," he thought, determination burning within him. With a concentrated effort, Sasuke directed his chakra towards the leaves. A warmth began to spread through his skin, and he strained to maintain control.
Soon, one of the leaves on his hand began to move, floating slightly due to the chakra he was emitting. He opened his eyes, observing the leaf. The fact that he was able to keep the leaf there was a good sign that his control was improving, but he needed more. He wanted all the leaves to remain in their places, a challenge that required even more focus and precision.
The leaves on his forehead and arms began to tremble, and Sasuke intensified his concentration. He realized he needed to find a balance, a harmony between the amount of chakra he was using and his ability to keep the leaves in place. After a few tense moments, one of the leaves fell, followed by another. Frustrated, but not discouraged, he repeated the process.
He concentrated again, feeling the chakra build up. "I won't give up," he decided. With a renewed burst of determination, he focused even harder. The leaves remained in place this time, and a sense of accomplishment began to wash over him. Discipline was essential, and each small victory brought him closer to his goals.
Thus, the day progressed. Sasuke continued to alternate between sword training and chakra control exercises. The training ground became his sanctuary, a place where he could lose himself in his focus and his pursuit of strength. The sun began to set, casting a golden light over the field. Exhaustion was starting to set in his muscles, but he wouldn't stop. Every movement, every drop of sweat, every leaf held in place was a step closer to becoming the ninja he aspired to be. With night approaching, Sasuke was immersed in his training. The field, now silent, reflected the effort and determination he put into every movement. He knew the path ahead was full of challenges, but he was ready to face them, one day at a time. And as the daylight faded, he felt the energy of his journey only beginning to take shape.
