Chapter 55 - Training.

Reaching the village the elder, made a reunion to say what happened, and decide what will they do. I just waited for them to finish their reunion.

I am really excited to learn more things about Senjutsu. as natural energy has a deep connection with my [Mokuton], I think learning more about it can help my strength a lot. But principally, It can help me improve my [Sage Body Technique] as it requires nature energy, becoming better with it can make a difference in my efficiency practicing it.

After the reunion come the time to start the training. before everything started the elder warned me ''You should know that the training will be very painful, principally the one of the claws. Breaking, again and again, your nails are not an easy task fr any living being'', after the elder said that I look at him in the eyes and said ''Bring it!''', he just looked at me and smiled.

The first training was already extremely painful. The training consists of me creating resistant trees and boulders and trying to penetrate them with just my fingers. It is not breaking but piercing, meaning that I need a lot of control and precision. The most important thing for this training is to strengthen the fingers of your hands. the repetitive movement of hitting the rock/tree makes your hand break and repeatedly heal thus strengthening it. The detail is you should do all of this without using any kind of chakra enhancement to give better results.

If you are asking yourself what is the skill that needs this training its the [Sage Art: Clawed Pistol]. After finishing strengthening your fingers and claws using the break and healing method. You can start practicing the technique. This technique is pretty similar to the one pice marine [Rokushiki] [Finger Pistol] but way stronger as it uses Senjutsu not just your physical power.

After training my hands and fingers, I proceed to do the same work with my feet. It was considered more difficult to do it. Destroying and healing my feet was considerably more painful and difficult than my hand.

The next training was about footwork, its nothing special but it helped me adapt to the new changes in my body. After footwork training, we began with the special kata of the ocelot clan the [Ocelot Kata]. This kata consists of elongating and enforcing the claws of your feet and hands at the same time, with the elongated, you would proceed to add nature energy on them making you range and cutting power better.

And yes I have claws now. I discovered them yesterday, they function like normal claws, I can retract or bring them. Quite a useful skill. Learning the kata was difficult at the start but with time I got the hang of things. The finishing product is that now I can easily cut the trees and boulders I create.

My next step now is to add elements to my [Ocelot Kata], making it even more powerful. After finishing with my normal training I practiced turning my attacks into the animals, something I took inspiration of Pedomaru. It was easy turning some of my elemental attacks on its panter versions. Hope in the future I can create more of it.
