Capítulo 16: The Path of Training
The Uchiha training fiel
The training was intense and exhausting, but Sasuke didn't let it get to him. He knew that strength wasn't a luxury but a necessity in a world like theirs. Rather than succumbing to frustration, he channeled his energy into every cut, every movement. Kenjutsu practice wasn't just a form of defense but an art that required both technique and disci
Sasuke then prepared for the next challenge: the tree-climbing technique. It was a skill he had learned by observing Naruto in the anime he had watched in his previous life. He clearly remembered how Naruto, with his joy and determination, managed to climb the tree without using his hands, simply by using chakra in his feet. That image had been etched into his mind; now it was time to turn it into reality.
Sasuke took a deep breath and began channeling chakra to his feet. The sensation was strange but familiar at the same time. He could feel the energy flowing through his body, moving toward his feet. He believed that the key to this technique lay in controlling the intensity and concentration of his chakra. With each breath, he tried to increase that connection, preparing for the upcoming move.
Placing one foot on the tree trunk, he struggled to keep the chakra focused. The first step was a disaster; his foot slipped, and he fell back to the ground, a small tumble that didn't hurt but left him frustrated. He couldn't afford to fail. Sasuke quickly got back up, feeling the adrenaline rise as he looked at the tree.
"Come on," he muttered to himself, reminding himself how it was done. "It's just about concentrating the chakra."
He positioned himself again, placing his right foot on the trunk. This time, he was more determined.
He focused again. "Stay calm. Chakra is an extension of yourself." He remembered the technique that had helped him master chakra control, using leaves. Now, he needed to apply it differently. He took another step, and this time his foot didn't slip. He felt the energy pulsing, the chakra sticking to the tree's surface.
"That's it, that's it!" he told himself, a small smile beginning to form on his face. A small step, but progress nonetheless. He was starting to understand.
Sasuke decided to try again. And so, he climbed a little higher, maintaining the chakra in his feet. He was beginning to feel the sensation of floating, but with each inch he climbed, the challenge grew greater. The control required a precision he hadn't yet fully mastered.
As the sun set on the horizon, Sasuke finally decided to stop. He was exhausted, but a feeling of accomplishment began to replace his earlier frustration. Each attempt brought him closer to his goals. He looked at the tree, and a wave of determination washed over him. He knew he'd return the next day, ready to continue his training.
Returning home, he felt the weight of his effort. He threw his sword into a corner and allowed himself a brief moment of rest. His body was tired, but his mind kept working, replaying the movements and techniques he had just practiced. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to relax, but the pressure of his goals never completely disappeared. With each breath, he felt the weight of the future he wanted to build.
Sasuke woke up earlier than usual that morning. The sun hadn't risen on the horizon, but he was already up, determined to start the day earlier. Something was on his mind that wouldn't let him fully rest. Today, he would make a visit to the public library, a resource available to students of the ninja academy. Sasuke knew that the sooner he arrived, the more time he would have to explore in peace before classes began.
The walk to the academy was quick, the silence of the still-sleepy streets accompanying him. His goal was clear: to search for more information and jutsus that could strengthen him. He was increasingly focused on his training and knew that the pursuit of knowledge was essential to surpass his limits. Upon arriving at the academy, he headed straight for the library.
The public library was a simple but vast place, with shelves full of scrolls and books meticulously organized. Some of these documents contained information on basic jutsus, while others, more advanced, were restricted to higher-ranked ninjas. Sasuke, however, had an advantage. Even though many of these jutsus were simple, he knew he could extract the maximum potential from each technique and adapt them to his style. His analytical skills, combined with his natural talent and the Sharingan he had awakened, allowed him to absorb every detail efficiently.
After a few minutes of meticulous searching, his eyes caught a green-colored scroll with the title "Basic Jutsus – Rank E." He picked up the scroll and opened it, analyzing the content carefully.
The first jutsu listed was [Bunshin no Jutsu] – the Clone Technique. Sasuke read the description:
"A ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of your own body, without any substance. Since the clone cannot attack and is only used to confuse the enemy, it is primarily used in combination with other ninjutsu."
Sasuke reflected for a moment. Even though it was a basic technique, Bunshin no Jutsu had its value, especially when combined with other skills. Creating distractions in battle was something he could use in future missions or combat. He continued reading.
Below it was the [Henge no Jutsu] – Transformation Technique:
"This is an invaluable ninjutsu, usually used to transform into other people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons."
Sasuke recognized the value of this technique. The ability to disguise or deceive the enemy was something he needed to master.
The third jutsu listed was [Kawarimi no Jutsu] – Substitution Technique:
"When in danger, the ninja replaces themselves with something, like wood, to avoid being injured."
Sasuke smiled as he read the description. With training, he could make this technique even more efficient, turning it into a valuable tool for evading enemy attacks.
As he read about these basic techniques, something unexpected caught his attention. A small book hidden among others, with a cover worn by time, bore the title: Genjutsu: Introduction to the Fundamentals of Illusion. Intrigued, Sasuke picked up the book and began leafing through it. His heart beat a little faster when he found a simple yet promising technique: Dream Illusion [Maboroshi no Jutsu].
"RANK E: Creates a simple illusion, making the target see something that isn't really there."
Sasuke felt excited. He had finally found something related to Genjutsu. Even though it was a low-level technique, he knew that with the Sharingan, he could enhance the effect of this illusion. Even a simple technique like this could become deadly in his hands, as long as it was applied with precision and strategy. It was a small step, but a significant one. The world of genjutsu was opening up to him, and he knew this technique would be just the beginning.
With the scroll in hand, Sasuke looked around, still hungry for more knowledge. His eyes scanned the shelves, searching for something that could give him more of an advantage in battle. His fingers slid over the books until he found a detailed manual on the basic stances of Kenjutsu. The eye-catching title, The Art of the Sword: Fundamentals and Techniques, piqued his curiosity.
He pulled the manual from the shelf and began flipping through it. The detailed illustrations showed different stances, basic attacks, and defenses with a katana. Sasuke studied each figure carefully, imagining how he could adapt these stances to his style. Even though it was an introductory manual, he knew that mastering the basics was essential for evolving in any discipline.
As time passed, Sasuke realized that he would soon have to go to class. He gathered the scrolls and books he had chosen, aware that this material would help him take another step toward his evolution as a ninja. It wasn't about mastering all the techniques at once but understanding each one deeply, adapting, and refining them according to his needs.
He left the library with a sense of satisfaction. He knew he was on the right path. With mastery over the basic techniques of ninjutsu, genjutsu, and kenjutsu, Sasuke was building a solid foundation for his future as a formidable ninja. His determination, coupled with his relentless pursuit of knowledge and power, was what set him apart from the other students.
As he headed to the classroom, he couldn't help but smile slightly. Each day, each discovery brought him closer to his goals. And, no matter how simple the techniques he had found were, he knew that, in the right hands, even the smallest trick could become lethal.
