53 - Vacation 8

[MC POV]

From last prank or should i say Sunday, 2 weeks already passed. We continued our training. 

There is good news through. Konoha's prank master has already born, but its on low level. I know Hokage knows, those 2 pranks was done by us. He own army of Anbus. It would have been easy if he wants to find out about us and I am sure he found out about us doing those 2 pranks. I just wanted to show Naruto first paint job prank. I don't want Innocent kid to go to dark path. Second prank was for hurting shop owners. They should understand, kid is kid, if their own or Jinchuriki.

Thinking about it, 7 years and 3 months already passed since I came into this world. Still life is comfortable. But I know this is calm before storm which is gonna appear. Shinboi war 4 is already around corner and afterwards what awaits is unknown. I know there is not much to talk, as I am fully concentrating on my training as my handwork is what which help me in the end. 

What significantly showed result in my training is my body control. My hand and legs control has reached 95%. Before vacation started it was 90%. This 5% was problematic to achieve than total 90% I have achieved before first year exams. Core has increased up to 60%. Now total body control has increased up to 40%. You must be thinking why just 40%, its because i couldn't get any control on my internal organs. I have decided to first concentrate on my stomach. As controlling it gives advantage in metabolism. So recovery and stamina can be increased significantly. But how its going, I think it might take around year to achieve that. 

For hand and legs, to achieve perfect control might take 2 more years, and to increase core to 70% it might take 3 more years. But I can wait. It would be best if i can achieve Itto Shura before graduate, but it might pipe dream to do that. Chinatsu san said to consider advance graduation, but if in protection i can train with out any worry why would i do that. And even if i want to do graduate early, I will consider it in my fifth year.

About my training, Now I can keep doing Tree climbing exercise up to 45 min. My chakra barely increased, Around 3% of what totally I had, so i know i am improving in my chakra control exercise. Partially this result is because of chakra flow exercise which i do in night. About my chakra level, This disadvantage is causing me serious headache. Even second lowest chakra level student has 7 times more chakra than me. I can still feel large amount of chakra is still being wasted when i do tree climbing exercise. So I think with my current chakra level, optimum result should be 2 hr to 2.50 hr. But achieving that gonna cause quite a big of headache.

Lest result is in Kenbunshoku no Haki, my result is still 40%. About Chikako's result, he was able to increase it up to 6%. He has biggest increase in Kenbunshoku no haki up til now. I have reached bottleneck in Kenbunshoku no haki. Until know we have fear of balls hitting us but now we have somehow adapted to pain of ball hitting us. So fear has gone. I need bigger stimulation than before. But i ain't gonna give Chikako Kunai or shuriken. Even in academy, our shuriken throwing hasn't started yet. Until end of this month, I think i will be able to achieved Rekkou, I think. 

Now for the further training, i have decided to get something special. I have been saving money for one thing to be made to be exact. After completing my early morning exercise, I am headed for weapons shop. After entering,

Shop Owner: "Ohh kid, what do you want? Are you in academy?" 

"I want to ask you to made me equipment. And yes I am in academy."

Shop Owner: "Which year are you in?"

"First, entering second as currently its vacation time."

Shop Owner: "I won't sell you Kunai or Shuriken as its gonna introduced to you in second year."

"I didn't come here for that. I want you to make me vertical screw like equipment."

Shop Owner: "This is new. Speak."

"Can I have pen and paper?"

He nodded and gave me one. I drew design what i wanted.

"I want it to be screw like structure on actually make it like a bolt. Any material will do, but i want it like that so i can control it with less amount of chakra. Size of it, should be around 2 inch to 3 inch and radius should be around 0.5 to 0.75 inch. I am saying it like screw, but it doesn't matter if it head or not."

Shop Owner: "Chakra sensitive material huh. Why do you want it?"

"I want to increase my chakra control. So thought of making this piece of equipment."

Shop Owner: "How would you do that?"

"Via chakra, I will try to rotate it one direction. Initially in direction of spirals, afterwards in reverse direction."

Shop Owner: "You have nice idea. Okay, let me suggest you something."

"Yes please."

Shop Owner: "Initially, keep this screws weight to minimal. Once you get used to doing this exercise with weight, get one with increased weight."

I nod double time. Why didn't i think of that.

"Nice idea you have old man."

Shop Owner: "No it was your idea. I just added one thing. Nice thing you have thought of. If its okay with you can i sell product you have just told me."

"Ya of course."

Shop Owner: "This product is not gonna sell much as there is quite low amount of people who has higher chakra control but still you gave me product idea. So for you product will be free. On base of sell of product, I will give you more rewards. Its okay, right?"

"Thank you."

Shop Owner: "Ohhh, Its still to late to ask but what is your name?"

"Ikki"

Shop Owner: "My name is Yamada Hiroshi. Come here next week. I will give you your product than."

"Thanks Yamada san"

After week went by, I again visited his shop,

Yamada san: "Hey Ikki, Its ready, take this."

He gave me 15 screw like mechanism. They are as i described him to be. He made it like level up game, first 5 screw material is soft wood with deep threads to small threads. Than other 5 screw material is hard and heavy wood with same deep threads to small threads. Than last 5 screws are made of metal but via touching them i can tell they are empty in middle, with same threads as five above.

Yamada san: "Get used to this 15. Than i will give you 15 more. With heavy metal to heavy but less chakra conductive materials. This last 15 will be more of challenge, but as i see it, you won't require them until you graduate from academy."

"Thank you for this."

Yamada san: "No need for thank you. I have sold 50 of first 5 levels of screw device already. Of course they are bought by Chunin level ninjas. That much already cover your screws materials. But i don't think, they are ever gonna reach level 6 in this life. First 2 levels are for genins and chunins."

I nod. "Thank you for giving me 15 levels."

Yamada san: "Practice hard. I have high expectations from you."

I nod and after saying i went to my training ground to practice with them. I already put, 14 screws in my ring and went to training ground. After reaching there I started practicing with screw.

Screw is kinda cylindrical, but still of small size. So my first task it so make it straight in my hand with chakra. As material is chakra conductive, i was easily able to pass chakra in it. But making it stand up was hard. After trying for 15 min, to make screw stand up from lying position, i gave up doing it. Instead with support of my other hand, I make it stand, after releasing above hand, i changed my task from, making it stand up from lying position, to make sure it don't drop my hand. I think this week alone is gonna take me to keep it in standing position. Rotating it will come after that.
