Control

Self-control, the magic words that trigger so many people that it isn't even funny, one of the things that a medic must know is the ability to control one emotion, especially nervousness, in order to minimize the number of errors that one makes during an operation, this, of course, it is still true even in the naruto world.

[Still, this is weird as hell!!!]

Chizuke is currently using the first chakra control exercise, the famous leaf sticking exercise, a pretty simple technique that consists in using chakra in order to stick a leaf in a part of your body and not let it fall for as long as possible. The problem with this exercise in Chizuke's opinion is that he actually doesn't believe that it is as simple as it sounds.

[There must be some type of cath, it can't be this easy]

Currently, he has a leaf in his forehead and was sticking for an hour, as much as Chizuke would like to gloat about being a genius his own mind didn't let him do that, he knew that declaring victory early was a very good way to 'raise death flags' as he called it in his own world so he was cautiously trying to think what exactly what even is the point of the exercise.

[I understand that this should help me master my control, but it seems like I already know how to do it which is frankly stupid, the only people that can have this good of chakra control for the first time would be people with either too little chakra or predisposed for chakra control.

After this hour I'm completely fine so my reserves are definitely not extremely little in order to have this control so I guess is the second one? no that is too early to tell, so can I make it more taxing so I at least feel I'm improving?]

Chizuke in his previous life was someone who was decently analytical and smart, he was a good medical student after all, but one of his faults that he doesn't like to admit was that he overthought a lot of stuff causing him to look like a 'smartass' by either asking or saying obvious stuff, sadly this problem following him.

By design, Chizuke had extremely potent reserves of chakra, his 24-year-old soul made his 'yin' or 'spiritual' reserves needed to make chakra that much more abundant, of course, this would not be enough and it should be making his chakra control worse since the balance would be broken significantly.

But, the Uzumaki bloodline made his body have that much more 'yang' or 'vitality' part needed to correctly balance his reincarnated soul and gave him an immense amount of chakra, as for the why he has good control? he is a medic, controlling one's mind and focusing on a single task is far easier for the medical student than the average 2-year-old.

Chizuke had no idea of this, so he rationalized that he simply needed to work harder.

The next day he was allowed to leave, he went to the nearby tree in the park and simply started grabbing more leaves in order to continue his chakra exercise, he hid them in his shirt and he had to admit, he didn't like the feeling of random leaves in his shirt.

[Gotta take a bath, this feel weird as heck]

Back at his room after a decent bath, or what he considered decent considering that he had exactly 0 of any kind of currency to his name, he decided to continue his chakra control exercise, he decided to be simple with it, just straight-up stick more leaves and see where it goes.

He had already guessed that this would be difficult since although he did stick 1 leaf for an hour, it did take him 3 tries for the leaf to stick, it was a simple process, put a bit of chakra into the part of the skin you want the leaf to stick and BAM, leaf sticking in your body.

Now though, it was way more difficult to do, trying to concentrate on 2 places at the same time was taxing even with his adult mind, if one were to compare the feeling, it would be like trying to draw with both hands at the same time, not impossible, but it requires a certain level of attention that a sudden thud could definitely disrupt.

[Godammit I knew children are quite rowdy but not to this extent!]

He had no basis for his claim at all, but at least he understood that when most children's dreams would be related to being a ninja, it would result in a lot of them trying ninja tricks and combat which would cause a lot of falling.

[*Sigh* What a dilemma, well no matter gotta make the best use of these dumb leaves]

And so he tried his hardest to try to draw his chakra and get the leaves to actually stick, after some hours of arduous work he got to stick up to 2 leaves at the same time.

[Tomorrow I guess I need to check if it worked?]

Chizuke didn't really know what to do yet in this world, well he knew what he was going to do but didn't know the why yet, why would he go on a multiple-decade hunt for more power if he didn't really have a purpose?

[I guess for now I only want the power to protect me and whatever person I deemed I like, seems reasonably enough]

As to why he wants to master chakra control, well it is obvious that it is something that he at least needs to persevere on the battlefield and because he simply wants to learn Iryojutsu[modern_footnote]Medical Ninjutsu[/modern_footnote] or the equivalent of medical care in this world since he already knows a lot of the 'normal' medical stuff he only really needs to focus on the chakra stuff, mainly the absurd level of control he needs.

It's not because is required for the super-strength technique that Tsunade used, not at all!.

Although Chizuke overthinks stuff, he will not underestimate the level of control needed for that technique, since the only 3 people that could perform it were Tsunade, Sakura, and Sarada, and technically speaking Sarada copied it with her Sharingan so that only leaves the other 2 people with the most control and knowledge about the human body.

[Yeah, I better not blow my arm accidentally]
