CHAPTER 20 CHAKRA NATURE

CHAPTER 20 CHAKRA NATURE

“These are chakra induction nature sheets,” my father said. There were thousands of the small 3 inch by 3 inch sheets of paper on the table in front of us. “Clans in the area raise trees with chakra as nutrients then make this paper out of them. They are specifically attuned for this sort of testing. What you will do is channel your chakra through them. Reina has been training you on how to bring it out of your hands, so this should be easy.”

I nodded. The lust chakra had been easy to learn when the prize was being able to make women quiver with pleasure. I had never worked so hard in my life to figure out a technique.

“When you channel chakra into the sheets of paper they would react depending on your primary chakra type. Crumble up if you use lightning, tear in half if you can use wind, become soggy for water, burn for fire, crumble away for Earth. Most people have 2 types of chakra. You have Lust Element as your main chakra like I do.”

“What happens if I channel lust into them?”

“Test it out,” my father said with a confident smile. I grabbed one of the thin pieces of paper. It felt like newspaper to me. Flimsy and easily burned. I channeled lust chakra into it. Nothing happened. I channeled more. My father noticed my confusion. “Lick it.”

I frowned but did. “It tastes sweet.”

“Exactly. Shadow element would have made the paper darken, crystal would have made it harden, etcetera,” father said. “Normally you find your second chakra nature after a lot of training, but lust isn’t the best at protecting yourself. We find it easier to simply do this a lot. You will be using all of these pieces of paper until we find out what you have. Like winning the lottery, it will be found at some point.”

I gulped. There were thousands of tiny sheets. “Begin,” father said. “Find me if you get it.” I nodded and began. It was monotonous work. At first I had to test how much chakra it took to get a reaction from the paper. I would have to channel chakra for about 3 whole seconds before the paper became naturally sweet. After that I monotonously went through the papers.

I didn’t test if all were sweet, but if there was no change after 3 seconds I dropped it. It took 4 hours to get a change. At first I thought I was seeing things, but after continuing to channel chakra the paper became noticeably soggy. Running to my father’s study I showed him the results of my labors.

“Water Element? Good,” he said with a smile. “You finished earlier than I expected. It’s still early. I think your trainer will still be available.”

“Trainer?” I asked. “Already?”

“I knew you would either be water or earth. I am earth element and your mother is water. But she is busy with the household. I was able to get a trainer that is an expert of both elements just in case.”

“Both?” I asked. He nodded but was soon running us off to the administrative section of the ninja academy. After some running around between people I was taken to meet someone I actually knew. More specifically knew of.

“Yamato,” my father said with a nod. The stoic man turned around to look at us. He was the substitute for Kakashi for Team 7 after Kakashi was hurt. He eventually became one of Naruto’s trainers. A master of the earth and water elements, he was able to mix it to make wood. I knew there was some drama with him and Orochimaru as well but I couldn’t remember. He was a clone of the founders of the village or something.

Yamato was a big man. About 6 feet tall he had a tuft of brown hair. I knew he was part of ANBU, the Konoha special forces or assassins, but I wasn’t sure what he was doing currently. He had rings around his eyes and an emotionless stare.

“This him?” Yamato asked, looking down at me.

“Yes, sir,” I said reaching out my hand. We shook and he nodded.

“Have figured out what you wish to train?”

“I seem to have the water element,” I said. “But I don’t know how to call just that.”

“That’s fine. We can work on that. Thank you Watanabe,” he said with a nod to my father.

“Thank you, Yamato,” my father said with a slight bow and was off.

“I hear you wish to train this for the upcoming Chunin exam,” Yamato said. Turning to walk away I followed.

“Yes sir,” I said. “I want to be as ready as possible. I can really only use Genjutsu in a fight. Which if my foes are expecting it, Genjutsu is easy to defend against.”

“Very true,” Yamato said as we walked out of the administrative building. “I know of your main element.” I nodded. I had hoped he did. “We will first be working on distinguishing between the 2 when you use them. How many chakra sheets did you go through to figure water out?”

“4 hours...at least 1,200 sheets,” I admitted.

“Not bad. I’ve seen it take 5,000 before.” We continued to walk in a direction he led us. “I don’t know if you know this, but I am a master of the Earth and Water element. I too had to learn to distinguish between them. It is all about mindset. And to consistently work on awakening your Water Element we will be going through 6 stages of training.”

“6?” I asked. I remembered 3 or 4 for Naruto when he awakened wind. He had to cut a leaf, cut a waterfall, then...maybe that was it. Sure felt like a long time for him to awaken it.

“Of course,” Yamato said. “There are less steps if it is your primary element, but since this is a secondary we will have to add steps. You have a month. I believe we can get through the first 5 steps in that time. If you do nothing but that.”

“5 stages? But-but I was hoping to learn a new technique,” I said.

“That would be impossible,” he said. “Unless you’re an ultra genius. You won’t be able to learn the full use of water element in that time.”

I frowned, remembering that Sasuke learned lightning and Chidori within that time. I wasn’t a genius, but I did know Naruto’s method for learning. I stayed silent. I began to prep myself to focus on learning water element. There could be no distractions...maybe Reina and Hina, but that was it.

I hadn’t failed my other world quests. That meant that time had to have stopped in them. If I left this world, maybe I could train somewhere else. A smile slowly split my face.

“Would you mind showing me an attack with water chakra?” I asked.

“Of course,” Yamato said. “You won’t have time to learn it, but you can work toward it. These are the hand forms you use to release the chakra.” He began to cast chakra in the water and a great dragon serpent made of water rose up in the air. Flowing over the water it crashed into a line of trees knocking many down in a huge tsunami wave. I was impressed and excited. I had a goal to reach.

Without too much hesitation I said, “World Escape.”
