Chapter 312: Training

With two jutsu under his belt, Kaida made his way toward the last location. Similar to the previous one, this sensei was also a Chunin, though he was not a youngster but a seasoned ninja in his forties.

Not every Uchiha could become a Jonin. Even with the Sharingan, becoming one was difficult. However, if they had activated their Sharingan, even at just one tomoe, it was almost certain they would reach Chunin level in the future.

And the last person Kaida was meeting fell into that category.

'It's great that I'm learning these jutsu now. If I started this after becoming a Jonin, things would have gotten awkward with many people,' Kaida thought as he knocked on the door of the last person on his list.

Knock, knock

"Coming," came a rough voice from inside the house.

"Good morning, sir. I am Kaida Uchiha. I'm here for this," Kaida said, pushing the paper in his hand forward. The man standing in front of him took the paper and gave it a cursory glance.

"So, you're Kaida Uchiha. I've heard a lot about you, both now and from Sora as well."

"You know Sora-sensei?"

"Know him? I'm his guardian. After his parents passed away, I was the one who took care of him. Oh! I didn't mention my name, did I? My name is Yoshio Uchiha," Yoshio said, ruffling Kaida's hair like he'd known him for a long time.

"So, you want to learn Great Breakthrough Jutsu, huh? Nice choice. Just give me 10 minutes. Take a seat till then," Yoshio said as he went inside. Kaida could smell the delicious aroma of food wafting through the air.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal. I can come back in an hour," Kaida called from the hall where he was seated.

"Nonsense! There's no need for that. I'd have to wait for my children to come back anyway. We can have a quick lesson during this time. Since you've already wasted half a day, I don't want your contribution points to go to waste," Yoshio replied from the kitchen.

"As you wish, sir," Kaida said. Though there was no need to think about contribution points, he still wanted to learn the jutsu in one day—not because of the money, but to test just how far his Sharingan could go.

There was a time when he'd learned five jutsu in one day. At that time, he had heavily relied on shadow clones, creating tens of them. With the help of soldier pills, shadow clones, and meditation to sort the memories, he had somehow managed to accomplish it.

But now, he was close to achieving the same feat in just one day, learning three high-level jutsu without using a single shadow clone.

That was the power of the Sharingan's copying ability. If one had seen a jutsu used enough times, it wasn't impossible to recreate it with little effort—let alone when someone was teaching you directly. Even now, only half the day had passed, and he was close to completing his daily goal.

'Maybe I should try five jutsu next time,' Kaida thought.

After 10 minutes, Yoshio came out wearing his forehead protector.

"Let's go to a training area. We can't practice that jutsu here," Yoshio said with a smile.

"Yes, sir," Kaida replied and followed Yoshio to the training area near his house.

"So, do you know any Wind jutsu?" Yoshio asked.

"Yes, sir. I know Wind Blade, Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu, and Rotating Shuriken, though I don't have much control over the last one," Kaida answered.

"Hmm. Show me all three of them," Yoshio said. Kaida complied without question, as every teacher he met wanted to gauge his level before teaching him. It was easy for Kaida to understand why.

After Kaida performed each jutsu once, Yoshio nodded.

"Good. Your Wind chakra manipulation is not bad. Do you know Fire Stream Jutsu as well?" Yoshio asked.

"Yes, sir. Should I demonstrate that as well?" Kaida asked. Yoshio nodded in reply.

Swoosh!

The area in front of them was engulfed in fire as Kaida used Fire Stream Jutsu.

"Good. With all these combined, it should be easy for you to grasp the concept of this jutsu. Even though this jutsu is just a C-rank technique and is normally used to complement Fire Release, it has quite destructive power on its own.

If used by a skilled ninja with ample chakra, this jutsu can uproot a small forest, let alone deal with any ninja standing in front of you. It's optimal for creating openings," Yoshio explained.

"I understand, sir," Kaida replied.

"Good. Now, let's start with the basics," Yoshio said as he began teaching the process step by step—from hand signs to how to mold chakra, and when to convert normal chakra into Wind chakra.

Yoshio then performed the jutsu himself, creating a gust of wind powerful enough to lift children into the air while easily knocking down adults.

He then demonstrated a supercharged version of the jutsu, which, as he explained, easily uprooted the tree in front of them.

Seeing the power of the jutsu, Kaida began learning it earnestly, succeeding on his first try. With only practice left to fix minor mistakes, the process was completed seamlessly thanks to his prior knowledge of other jutsu.

(After one hour)

"Initially, I thought you might have wasted your contribution points by coming to me so late, but it seems I severely underestimated the talent of the younger generation.

Good job learning this in just one hour. Now the only thing left is practice, and you'll master it in no time," Yoshio said with a smile.

"You're praising me too much, sir. It was all thanks to your wonderful teaching that I was able to learn it so quickly," Kaida replied.

"Hahaha! Do you think this is the first time I've taught someone? Still, I'm happy you appreciate my teaching," Yoshio said, patting Kaida on the shoulder.

"Even though I don't know many jutsu of other chakra natures, Wind jutsu are all under my belt. If there's another Wind Release jutsu you want to learn, just ask me. I'll be happy to help."

"I'll take you up on that offer, then," Kaida replied as he bid farewell to his last teacher of the day.

After leaving the training area, Kaida checked the time.

"It's still just 2 PM. I have so much time left. Maybe even five jutsu a day isn't my limit. Sigh Let's not get ahead of ourselves. For now, let's focus on what I've already learned," Kaida thought.

He created a shadow clone with almost 90% of his chakra. After the upgrades from his Sharingan and Senju lineage, Kaida's chakra reserves were massive—almost twice that of some Jonin in Konoha.

At this stage, 90% of his chakra was truly astounding. Since the clone already had Kaida's memories, it didn't need instructions. It went directly to the training area and created 29 more shadow clones. Normally, he could create 100 clones easily, but they wouldn't have much chakra.

Because the goal of these clones was training, he created only 30—one for each jutsu. With 30 clones practicing the techniques, Kaida made his way back to his house.
