Chapter 37: FireBall
Watching himself apologizing to himself was awkward. The clone who missed the target dispersed itself. Once every clone got its memory, they increased their distance and continued their training.
After training for 3 more hours, Kaida was able to successfully start a fire before the leaf reached the ground, but it was not completely burned. Since his chakra was low and all of his clones had already dispersed, Kaida decided to take some much-needed rest as he was both physically and mentally tired.
He went toward Yukihiro to ask if he could take a rest.
Seeing Kaida coming toward them, Yukihiro's clone thought that Kaida wanted their help with something since he had not asked a single question from the start. They were more than happy to help him.
"Sensei, my chakra and stamina are very low due to constant practice. Can I take some rest?"
After looking in his direction for some time, Yukihiro's clone said awkwardly, "Right, you can take some rest. Do you want to go and eat outside?"
"No, thank you, Sensei. I have already eaten nutrient bars," Kaida bowed and left.
Kaida went back to his previous location and started meditating. After 30 minutes, he fell asleep there, as mental exhaustion requires sleep, and only meditation can help with it to a certain extent.
After sleeping for 2 hours, he woke up on his own. It was already 3 PM. Kaida again started practicing. Since he was already able to burn the leaf mid-air, he began practicing to perfect the timing. This time he only made 5 shadow clones, as his chakra reserves were not full.
After practicing for 2 more hours, Kaida was able to completely imitate Yukihiro. He went to Yukihiro's clone and spoke.
"Sensei, I was able to perform the second step."
"Very good, Kaida. You can take a rest for today. We will start the third and last part of the chakra control exercise tomorrow."
"Yes, Sensei."
Saying farewell to Yukihiro's clone, Kaida went toward the exit gate and waited there for Yomi. However, he did not have to wait long, as Yomi soon came to the gate. Her face said it all, as she had not even completed her first step completely, where she had to control the rate of shrinking of the leaf.
So, she just meditated for the whole day while 5 clones practiced the entire time. Though she somehow managed to do it, her mental exhaustion was significant.
Seeing this, Kaida suggested that they just walk toward their house. On the way, he asked, "How was your progress, Yomi?"
"Don't remind me of that. I have not even completed my first step of chakra control training, though Sensei said that my speed was great, and lightning chakra is the hardest to control. You were able to do this in one day," Yomi said with a pout.
"Hahaha, do you think lightning and fire chakra are the same? No, Yomi. Once you master lightning chakra, you will become overpowered. It is known as the strongest chakra nature for a reason, so mastering it will take time, but I am sure it will be worth it."
After a little pep talk, they headed to their house, stopping at a restaurant to eat an early dinner. Afterward, they went to their house and both of them went straight to bed, falling asleep in record time.
The next day, they once again woke up at 4 AM, completely refreshed. Sleeping for 10 hours did wonders for them. They completed their morning routine and once again ran to the training area, doing physical exercise until 5 AM.
Once again, their Sensei arrived at the same time and took their respective students to the previous training locations. Yukihiro looked toward Kaida and sighed.
*'This boy is a monster, completing this exercise at such a speed. A normal ninja would have taken 3-4 months to reach this stage. For God's sake, you don't have to go to war in 10 days! Why are you in such a hurry?'*
"Sensei, what is the third part of the training?"
"Hah! It's simple. You just have to do this."
Yukihiro moved his hand in front of him, and a fireball the size of a cricket ball emerged in his hand.
"The longer and larger you can maintain it, the more your control will increase."
Kaida's eyes were shining at this point, but suddenly he realized something.
"But Sensei, what should I burn? There's nothing in your hand, so how are you able to maintain this fire?"
"Well, Kaida, you have the best fuel inside you. This time, instead of burning a leaf, you have to burn your attribute-less normal chakra."
Remembering that Kaida wouldn't ask any questions after he was told what to do, Yukihiro decided to give a more detailed explanation this time.
"You have to release both normal chakra and fire chakra at the same time, and by using fire chakra, ignite your normal chakra like you have done with leaves. You have to constantly maintain a steady stream of both chakra. I would advise that at first, you use each hand for a different type of chakra, and once you become familiar with the process, then try to release it with one hand. Directly going with one hand is risky."
Kaida nodded and went toward his training area. As Yukihiro said, he tried to release normal chakra from his left hand and fire chakra from his right hand. Suddenly, a fire erupted between his hands, but it suddenly died as his fire chakra stopped for a second. He nodded and, just as he was about to create shadow clones to practice like usual, he came up with an interesting idea. He made 3 shadow clones, one with double the amount of chakra the other two possessed.
The 3 shadow clones took most of his chakra, but this time he didn't quickly go to meditate but watched them do the exercise.
The clone with double the amount of chakra sat in the middle, and the other two clones stood at his left and right. The middle clone started emitting normal chakra from its hand, while the other two clones emitted fire chakra.
Their chakra met in the middle, and a fireball was formed. Since both of their chakra signatures were the same, meaning it was the chakra of the same person, it easily mixed, and a fireball was formed. Though its size was larger than what Yukihiro formed, Kaida reduced the amount of chakra it was providing, and the size reduced. This time, it didn't go out, and the fireball kept on burning.
Kaida nodded his head, sat on the ground, and started meditating. After 1 hour, the chakra of his clone became low, so they dispersed themselves, and Kaida got their memory. He continued his meditation, though, as his chakra reserve was still not full.
After two more hours of meditation, his chakra reserves were full. This time, he only created one shadow clone with 80% of his chakra. The clone did the same thing Kaida did in the beginning, releasing different types of chakra from each hand and forming a fireball in the middle. This time, it did not disperse immediately and stayed like that for some time. After 5 minutes, the clone made a small mistake, and the fireball extinguished.
