章節 25: As The Years Pass

The week after Chojusen brought Haku and Kimimaro to the Village, he took some time away from his training to ask his dad about "the birds and the bees," as Minato put it. Choza put on a similarly priceless face — like Minato when he was caught — and he said "Where did you hear that phase?!"

Chojusen knew that what Minato and Kushina were doing was not something they would like others to know about, so he said "I can't say."

Choza wasn't prepared to have this talk with Chojusen and Choji until they were much older. He only made due with a long and convoluted monologue, explaining what sex is to Chojusen through the HEAVY use of metaphors and figurative language.

After listening to Choza for hours, Chojusen said "So basically, if I love someone we can join in some sort of ritual to create babies."

"Something like that. But you need to go through puberty first. Actually, we weren't supposed to have this talk until you went through puberty… It would have been much easier to explain then, as your body would intuitively understand what I'm talking about."

…

Another year passed with Chojusen training with his friends. Kimimaro and Haku would also train with their group. Chojusen couldn't help Kimimaro too much aside from basic training, but because he had access to all energy types, he casually made up some ice techniques and taught them to Haku.

Since Haku already knew of his powers from him teleporting him from the Hidden Mist to the Hidden Leaf, he wasn't too surprised to see Chojusen pull out some random tricks. But Ice Release was a bloodline limit, Haku wondered how Chojusen managed to pull it off, but he never asked him about it.

When Chojusen was six, only two notable events happened. When Chojusen and his friends became six, their parents started to let them train in their friends houses, so it wasn't odd for all the kids to meet up in one of the various Clan compounds.

One day, when Chojusen was training in Hinata's house, everyone had to stop as they heard the sounds of Hinata's mother screaming. Everyone already knew that Hinata's mom was pregnant and would go into labor at any moment, so the panic that was created from her yelling didn't go too out of control.

After Chojusen had trained a couple times in the Hyuga compound, he met with Hinata's mother a couple of times. She had always been nice to him and Hinata's friends, so Chojusen was worried about her giving birth. He knew that giving birth could kill the mother, like what happened with his mother, so he locked onto her chakra signature and monitored the yang energy within.

Since he noticed that her yang vitality was rapidly being drained and that she would die soon, he told Hiashi, Hinata's father, that he could save his wife with his Sage powers. It was a lie that he could save her with his Sage powers, but Yang Awakening and Water Healing could do the trick.

Hiashi didn't dare to take any chances with the safety of his wife, so Chojusen was allowed entry into the room where Hinata's mother was located. He entered his regular Sage Mode to pretended to use his Sage powers, but used Yang Awakening to stabilize Hinata's mother. With his Yang Awakening, Hinata's mother no longer struggled during the delivery process and she gave birth to Hanabi with no problems.

When Hanabi was finally born, Chojusen switched his Yang Awakening to Water Healing and Hinata's mother was restored to peak condition as if she didn't just give birth. Hiashi thanked Chojusen profoundly and told him that he would always be welcomed in the Hyuga Clan as a benefactor.

The other notable event that year, was that Kushina also gave birth to a little brother for Naruto. It seems like Minato finally got the job done…

When Chojusen turned seven, he and all his friends entered the academy. Because they trained so adamantly before entering the academy they got to skip a year and would also finish a year early.

In the academy, Chojusen met some more interesting friends. There was Neji who was very talented like Sasuke. Tenten who was a weapons fanatic. And Lee who… wasn't that good at anything, but worked extra hard to catch up with his peers.

This year Chojusen's Energy Manipulation Skill ranked up and he learned a new term; Law principle. He didn't know what this was, so he turned to the system. The system explained to Chojusen that energy was the most general and basic level for the power people used to power their techniques. Above energy, were particles which were much harder to detect and influence. Even higher than particles though, were law principles. These "principles" were like the glue that held reality from falling apart.

The system put it this way [Energy is governed by particles which are governed by law principles. When someone reaches a higher level of control, the levels below theirs are meaningless.]

In the same vein that Chojusen was invincible and invulnerable to others with his space techniques because he was using particles while his enemies were using energy. Now, he would be invincible and invulnerable to people that used particles because he used law principles.

After reaching this level of control, when Chojusen's teleportation skill ranked up, he suddenly found the task of covering the entire universe to be plausible. Especially with hundreds of his clones teleporting around everywhere.

...

Nothing important happened until Chojusen turned ten. That year, his father finally managed to learn how to use Butterfly Sage Mode and he also developed two techniques with Chojusen's help. The first technique was just an improved version of the Calorie Control method that allowed Choza to convert his calories in physical energy; a vital component that Chojusen suggested to allow him the chance to enter Butterfly Sage Mode.

The second technique was a derivative application of the Multisize technique, that Choza called the Density Duplication technique. Instead of enlarging a body part or the entire body, what this technique did was make the density of the body increase while retaining its normal size. Needless to say, this technique made the Akimichi's who were known for their impressive physical strenght, even more powerful.

Choza had taken so long to reach Butterfly Sage Mode because he needed to master normal Sage Mode first. His progress would have been even slower, if Chojusen wasn't around to help him. And even with his achievements, he could only enter Butterfly Sage Mode with the help of a butterfly clansman. Back when Chojusen first revealed his power to Choza, he told him about the Butterfly Clan's connection to their clan and Choza did not hesitate to make a contract with the Butterfly Clan.

Chojusen had been training all this time not only with his friends, but also with clones in his personal dimension. Minato's suggestion to exploit the effects of his clones really helped him speed up the rate of getting power, but his true body was stuck with the chore of constantly practicing body refining.

Since he would only get back the experiences of his clones upon activation, he couldn't change his body so he was stuck body refining. Because of his skills rapid increase in proficiency, his skills at full power were too much for his little personal dimension to handle. A casual flame bullet from him would raze the land for a multiple kilometers, so he had to start aiming his techniques out into the void outside his personal dimension…

Now Chojusen was finally eleven. Tomorrow would be the day he graduated from the academy and became a "real" ninja. But first, Chojusen took a look at his stats to see his improvement.
