Сhapter 41

Three months of training under Natsubashi-sensei were... fruitful for me. Very much, I would say. Nevertheless, training under the guidance of a skilled, competent and serious mentor who treats your training can give simply amazing results. And I myself, of course, worked hard to bloody trickles from my nose, exploiting my own stamina and chakra volumes to the fullest.

Yes, such a combination yielded amazing results, my skills grew by leaps and bounds, and my arsenal was replenished with more and more new skills and techniques. So, I have made quite a lot of progress in mastering taijutsu, becoming stronger not only physically, but also greatly diversifying my fighting technique, while gaining much-needed experience… Natsubashi-sensei, sensing my enthusiasm, allowed me to exploit my own clones to the fullest, which helped me with my practice in tai.

A very diverse practice, I must say, still clones, often there was much more than one. And with some types of weapons, as practice has shown, Natsubashi-sensei handled very well… As a result, it resulted in a fairly extensive experience of fighting against "different" opponents for me, and I was now much more confident against the crowd, better controlling the surrounding space. Progress on the face, especially since my success in taijutsu was by no means the main reason for pride and joy…

Our teacher also did not forget about the other "two pillars" of the power of any Shinobi, helping our whole trinity to realize their own potential, but at the same time not allowing them to completely score on the non-priority sides of development. So, Yamanaka was forced to suffer almost daily in additional physical training classes and practicing tai in general, well, Inuzuka and I almost gritted our teeth trying to figure out such an unusual art for us as genjutsu…

Yes, the teacher quite clearly insisted that the Shinobi should be versatile. And even if we somehow don't have much success in the field of mastering genjutsu, but we simply have to know the basics ... at least in order to resist other people's techniques of this direction. Which had its own considerable share of logic, but it didn't make learning from our sensei any easier. So also Yamanaka, with his, as it turned out, frankly sick fantasy, got into the habit of training and practicing his genjutsu techniques on us ... which we just learned to resist.

It's hell, to be honest, but in a few months I was still able to cope with the task, having mastered several dozen of the simplest genjutsu. It seems to be a trifle, especially since all the genjutsu learned really belonged to the simplest, but the rada of this result had to work pretty hard. Well, but I became much better at resisting genjutsu, and I tightened my control over the chakra quite well. Still, genjutsu is a delicate matter, demanding control and a rich imagination…

In general, yes, a completely new facet of shinobi techniques for me was somehow mastered, even at the initial level, and even woven into the already existing fighting style ... I even promised myself to return to training in genjutsu sometimes. Well, for general development, and so as not to lose existing skills. I'm not going to become a genjutsu master anyway. The chakra for such manipulations is not very suitable for me… There is too much of the Yang component in it, and the fox chakra makes itself felt.

Well, it's not the point, the main thing is that I really learned to resist genjutsu… On which our teacher calmed down, loading us with more useful, as in my humble opinion, trainings. Training in ninjutsu, to be more specific… And if my teammates still had everything going in this direction, still training in the clan implies a fairly versatile training. And what's there to hide, the special techniques of Inuzuka and Yamanaka are also, first of all, ninjutsu.

Because of this, my partners were much more experienced in this direction than me, and they had already decided on the spontaneous color of their chakra for a long time. Yamanaka, won, even knew a couple of the simplest techniques of Cato – the elements of fire, even if he used them with frank effort. The boy's chakras are small, and he does not strive to develop particularly in this regard. That one is somehow more interested in illusions. In the same way as Akita is interested, first of all, in her clan techniques and skills in tai, which takes most of the girl's time and effort to work out ... She simply cannot be sprayed on ninjutsu, stamina and chakra reserves are not enough.

So it turned out somehow that my partners already had a certain basis of skills in ninjutsu, but they did not seek to develop their potential in this field. At the same time, I myself knew only three academic techniques and had a fairly general idea of the same spontaneous transformations of the chakra ... Although Aikawa-sensei tried to enlighten me in this regard as much as possible.

Well, it's not the point, the main thing is that Natsubashi-sensei focused most of his efforts on me. Which was very convenient, especially since fate gave me a rather pleasant surprise… I remember that the original Naruto had a predisposition only to the element of wind. Which, of course, affected me, because I also had a predisposition to this kind of "magic". But still, my dominant element turned out to be Ryton – the element of lightning…

Which was unexpected, to be honest. I have already prepared myself mentally for the fact that I may have some problems with learning natural ninjutsu… But no. For reasons unknown to me, my main predisposition to the elements was precisely Righton. And I do not know why it happened ... Perhaps heredity still manifested itself, not just because the folder of this body was called the Yellow Lightning of Konoha. Maybe I myself, by my moving in, changed something in the boy's body. Or maybe it's Natsubashi-sensei overdid it, too often "stimulating" me with light lightning discharges.

It's hard to say, but the fact is, in terms of spontaneous predisposition, I was somewhat different from the original Naruto… And I was also very lucky, because Natsubashi-sensei just specialized in Rayton's techniques, which is why he could do my training freely. Without involving third-party specialists. He mocked me himself, such a bastard... Eh, but I didn't forget about practicing fuinjutsu, practicing creating seals almost at any free second. I even started eating, almost on a regular basis, in all kinds of eateries and cafes.

I'll tell you another schedule, and the element of lightning is not too affectionate to its adherents, at the first stages threatening, if not to injure, then how should the inexperienced genins be tortured… Even my stamina has given up when it comes to kickbacks when using the technique unsuccessfully. Powerful discharges of electricity hit the nervous system great. And I also had more obvious wounds, several times I even had to go to the hospital with my hands burned by lightning. And in general, I have suffered a lot because of working with such a rebellious element.

And I would not say that by now I have achieved any serious success in the field of elemental techniques, while still learning to transform my chakra into a spontaneous one. Well, nothing, I still have success, and the clones will be in my hands very soon. All I need is to master a few of the simplest techniques of Rayton, after which Natsubashi-sensei promised to show me the much-desired technique.…

I think after that my learning speed will increase by at least an order of magnitude. And there will be more personal time. Still, all the theoretical fuss and training in working with the same elemental chakra can be safely blamed on shadow clones. I will only have to do with my own body, and try not to go crazy from the abundance of information I receive. Well, at least that's how I imagine it… Beauty!

What confuses me in this whole situation is only the more and more clearly felt seal on my own belly... through which more and more aggressive fox chakra seeps into me every day. This is already beginning to be felt even during training. My chakra is becoming less homogeneous, and the powerful demon chakra in some sense even tries to "burn" my chakra channels ... It's difficult to describe this feeling in words, but something tells me that the fox is beginning to recover after its sealing and separation into two parts. And it seems to me that his mood right now is not very good at all... It's not just that his chakra feels so angry and overflowing with hatred…

And that's how, I ask, to negotiate with the owner of such a chakra? Here, and without any meeting, it is clear how the demon sealed in me treats me. His chakra fully conveys his emotions to me, which is even frightening, to be honest…
