Chakra control

Weeks passed since that day and two months have passed. During this time Naruto and I got closer, we now look at each other like brothers. I made sure that Naruto was eating right so he wasn't skinny. Which unfortunately for him meant less ramen. I have also been getting close to my other classmates. I learned how to play shogi from Shikamaru, and we're pretty even in skill. Right now we are tied at 50 wins each.

I haven't been just wasting my time and sitting around doing nothing after the academy. I was so interested in chakra that after most academy days I went to the library to read anything I could about it. There I read about some chakra control exercises such as water walking and tree walking. Also I found a book that showed how to properly mold chakra for the first time. I also read about the different affinities which led me to kekkei genkai. I read about some like the Ice release from the Yuki clan, wood release obviously, lava, etc. I noticed that there was more detailed information on kekkei genkai from Konoha but I paid it no mind. Anyways to pretty much sum it up I studied the hardest I have probably ever studied before.

I haven't tried using chakra yet because I want to get more familiar with my body. I mean it is only 8 years old and I have only been in this body for two months now so I've been holding it off. Plus I don't want to accidentally injure a body part, but today I have decided I have put it off for too long and I want to start practicing. Today is a Saturday so there is no academy. I'm currently sitting in a crisscross position in an empty training ground that academy students have access to, and let me tell you I just found my chakra. It wasn't that hard considering that there's quite a lot there, it was like looking for something right in front of you, you can't miss it. Then I realized something ' Crap, I'm gonna have trouble making a clone aren't I?'

After thinking that I heard a voice in my head ' If you don't practice chakra control you will. The leaf exercise will be useless for you considering the amount of chakra you have. You should start with tree climbing when you start.' I nodded and got up from sitting. This training ground has a lot of trees in it like most others so it wasn't hard to find one. I stood there right in front of the tree in thought ' I have to add just the right amount of chakra, too much and the tree explodes to less and I fall off. Alright I got this!'

After I did that I added some chakra into my feet, ran up the tree and… fell off. 'Should've expected that. I knew I should have started with more chakra and made my way down.' After thinking that I practiced there for a few hours until it was about noon. I was able to find just the right amount to hold me on the tree, but keeping that same amount and not falling off is a different story.

'I should probably get something to eat.' I thought to myself, not even winded slightly. I nodded to myself, and headed off to Icharku's ( I don't know if I spelled that right, but oh well.). On my way there I thought to myself, 'The Uchiha massacre should be starting soon… if I don't get a sharingan before it happens I doubt I'll be able to get one because of Danzo.' I felt Fawkes nod his head and say ' If you need someone to do the eye transplant I can do it for you.' I nodded my head and at that time I made it to Icharku's where I saw Naruto and Hiruzen.

I walked up to them, sat next to Naruto and said " What are you guys up to?" Naruto looked at me, smiled and said "Just having some ramen. What about you?" I smiled back and said " I was just practicing my chakra control and decided it was time for lunch." Hiruzen looked at me and asked " How were you practicing your control?" There wasn't a reason to lie, plus I'm pretty sure he will know anyways because of anbu so I said " I was practicing by walking on a tree." He nodded and said " If you ever need help come to me and ask." I nodded and looked at Naruto and saw he had a confused look on his face. " What's wrong Naruto?" " What's chakra?"
