Chapter 44: Camp Training!

[Kaede POV]

I woke up feeling refreshed! The bed was more comfortable than you would expect from a camp. It was still pretty early as everyone was still in bed. I quietly got up, brush my teeth, changed my clothes, and went outside. I took a deep breath of the fresh air, seeing that there was still some time before breakfast, I decided to practice with my weapons.

I walked to a random cliffside and took out all the weapon scrolls I have and summoned them all. I looked at all the weapons on the floor before finally picking up a katana. It just looks like a normal sword with a black handle and circular guard. I'm starting to like the katana more and more, I planned to wield both a katana and a tanto to give me more flexibility.

I held it with my two hands and got into a stance, I raised my katana and swung my blade. After getting comfortable with swinging the blade, I then changed my stance and sliced the air with a different motion from before.

I continued this routine for a while before switching to a different weapon and repeating the same thing. Some time has gone by and I felt a presence watching me. I turned my head and noticed a small boy with black spiking hair, wearing a red cap with two spike horns coming out of it. He was staring at me with a cold look.

'That must be Kota.....' I thought to myself, I didn't see him on the first day so I don't get a chance to greet him.

I wiped the sweat off my head and walked toward him with a smile.

"Hi, my name's Kaede Uchiha! What's yours?" I happily introduced myself as I held out my hand.

He looked at my hand before slapping it away. I already know his personality so I wasn't surprised by his action.

"This is my hideout, leave." He said with an angered tone.

"Ah sorry about that little guy!" I said.

"My name is Kota, get it right. Also, breakfast is ready."

"What!" I yelped in surprise, I must have been training longer than I thought, I thanked Kota and patted his head before gathering all my weapons and running back to camp.

Aizawa-sensei was standing at the entrance of the dormitory, he saw me and said: "Uchiha, what are you doing out in the forest?"

"Sorry Sensei, I've been doing some morning training and I wasn't aware of the time!" I answered.

He nodded: "Very well, go change to your sports uniform and have breakfast with the rest of the class."

I speedily went to have a shower and come back in my sports uniform. I went to sit with my friends and ate breakfast in a hurry. My meal disappeared in a blink of an eye, I must have been hungrier than I thought.

During our breakfast, I spotted Todoroki and went toward him.

"Good morning Todoroki-kun! May I ask, what did my onii-chan gave you?" I asked with curiosity.

For some reason, his face paled, "It's nothing interesting...." He replied.

Not wanting to pressure him further, I shrugged my shoulders and returned to my seat. Soon Aizawa-sensei came in and told us to meet him outside. When we got outside, he explained that we will be improving our quirks.

Aizawa-sensei gestured for us to follow him and we went deep into the woods. We reached an open area surrounded by trees. There was a giant piece of rock at the center like a small mountain. He then told each and one of us to train our quirks as Aizawa-sensei and the Pussy Cats set up an area specifically for them.

All my friends went to their designated location and I was the last one.

"Uchiha, unfortunately, I can't help you with your training, but I believe you already got something in mind?"

"Yes, I already planned out what I should achieve in this camp!" I answered.

He nodded: "Follow me." Aizawa-sensei then led me to a secluded area.

It was an open flat land surrounded by trees, just perfect for what I was doing.

I will be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that he doesn't have a method of training for me. However, I have planned out at home what I should try and achieve in this camp. The villains will attack again, I need to get as strong as possible with the time I was given.

I sat in the center of the field and entered a meditative position.

For now, I wanted to recreate a lightning release that will help me greatly: the Lightning Chakra Mode!

[A/N: gonna apologize in advance if I somehow offend any hardcore naruto fans out there.]

My speed, agility, and power were okay for now, but what I'm lacking in defense! If I get hit directly even once...

I shuddered and remembered my battle with the USJ Nomu. Since I don't want to get hurt, I shall max out my defense!

I calmed my breathing and started manipulating my chakra to wrap around my outer body. Even if I mastered chakra control, it still took some time for me to surround the chakra with my entire body. I have never done it before, the most I have ever done was wrapping chakra around my limbs or weapons. Therefore, I need to distribute my chakra evenly to get the best results.

I then apply my lightning element and I felt static electricity on my skin, I opened my eyes and saw that my entire body was covered by a blue aura with faint sounds of electricity crackling.

"Wow!" I exclaimed in excitement but the Lightning Chakra Mode immediately disappeared.

I wasn't saddened by it and attempted to redo the process. When I tried again, the time for me to cover my body with chakra was much shorter and I slowly stood up while concentrating on covering my body with my chakra.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Another Kaede appeared in front of me.

Both of us nodded and I handed Kaede#2 a kunai. She then attacks me while I kept my Lightning Chakra Mode activated.

*Clang!*

The kunai strikes my body but it bounced off my skin.

My eyes widened, and now my defense was maxed out!

For the rest of the day, Kaede #2 continued to attack me with all sorts of methods. Turns out, that if I sustain too much damage, my Lightning Chakra Mode will be destroyed.

I realized I can't be in Lightning Chakra Mode for long, so I have to be smart about when to use it. I also figured out that by being in that phase, I got naturally faster and stronger, this can probably give me a sudden boost of speed to catch my opponents off-guard! But it still took me a bit of time and concentration to use this new ability so training my activation time will be my main priority!
