Chapter 51: A Foreboding Feeling

"Something seems off!"

As everyone knows, with chakra paper in hand, testing chakra nature is quite simple.

All it requires is a certain level of chakra control. By channeling chakra into the paper and observing the subsequent changes, one can determine their chakra nature.

After the changes, if the paper burns, it's fire nature; if it splits, it's wind; if it wrinkles, it's lightning; if it gets wet, it's water; and if it crumbles, it's earth.

If someone has multiple chakra natures, the paper might show several changes.

Take Nagato from the original storyline, for example. He possessed all five chakra nature transformations. 

The paper would split in the center, burn at the top left, get wet at the bottom left, wrinkle at the top right, and crumble at the bottom right.

As for Koshino, even as a transmigrator with an app to speed up training, he never imagined having all five chakra nature transformations. 

In other words, having all five is almost inhuman. To be more normal, Koshino felt that having just one of fire, wind, or lightning would be more than enough.

However, upon opening his eyes and looking at the chakra paper's changes, Koshino was initially very excited!

Because when Koshino opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the paper splitting, which is proof of wind nature chakra, right?

Yet, just as Koshino was infinitely delighted, feeling that his chakra nature was wind and that his future training had a reference, he never expected such a strange occurrence from a simple chakra nature test!

Normally, wind nature chakra causes the paper to split in the center, turning it into two pieces, right?

But in Koshino's test, the paper neatly broke in two places, turning into three pieces!

"What is going on?"

"Other people's tests don't have such weird results, do they?"

"Or is it that their chakra nature is just wind, while mine is a gale?"

"Even jokes should have a limit, okay? Wind nature is wind nature, what's with this 'gale' nonsense!"

After a few helpless complaints, Koshino tossed aside the chakra paper, took a deep breath, and decided not to worry about those details.

After that, Koshino was undoubtedly going to use the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu to train in wind nature chakra transformation!

Having mastered the Rasengan and some advanced Rasengan techniques, Koshino felt his strength was steadily at the chunin level.

Especially after sparring with Kakashi, experiencing life-and-death crises, and gaining a peculiar sense of perception.

Upon examining his body, Koshino realized that this peculiar perception was a sign of a breakthrough in mental energy. 

With this dual progress, Koshino felt that mastering chakra nature transformation could potentially elevate his strength to that of a jonin. 

Thus, the first phase of wind nature chakra transformation training began smoothly after Koshino tested his chakra nature.

The first phase of wind nature chakra transformation training isn't too difficult, nor is it too simple.

It's about practicing to "cut" leaves!

After recovering his chakra and creating as many shadow clones as possible, Koshino gathered a pile of leaves in the yard and began the first phase of wind nature chakra transformation training.

Then, after assigning the training to his shadow clones, Koshino thought to himself that his taijutsu training couldn't break through for now. 

He needed to wait for the development of new secret techniques from the Nara Clan's secret arts. 

So, he decided to check out what kind of secret techniques were recorded on the Fourth Hokage's secret scroll.

It was quite a surprise when Koshino opened the Fourth Hokage's secret scroll. 

The array of secret techniques listed on it left Koshino utterly speechless!

Because in the Fourth Hokage's secret scroll, there wasn't any record of jutsu like the Rasengan or Chidori!

Instead, the scroll contained practical little tips and the ingenious uses of wind chakra, which made Koshino's eyes sparkle with excitement!

"Good thing my chakra nature is wind, otherwise becoming the Fourth Hokage's apprentice would have been a waste!"

"Apart from some improved basic jutsu, the scroll is all about the application of wind chakra!"

"Fourth Hokage, were you really a master of 'wind'?"

"But since my chakra nature is the same as yours, all your secrets are mine to learn!"

"Inheriting all your techniques, I suppose the title of Konoha's Yellow Flash will soon be mine too?"

"It's a pity these techniques require me to master them myself. If only I could use an app to speed up my training!"

After marveling at how useful the Fourth Hokage's scroll was, Koshino couldn't help but grumble a bit about not being able to use the app to accelerate his training.

Overall, Koshino felt that following the Fourth Hokage's scroll for training was still a great gain. 

So, despite the fatigue, he pushed through and, relying on his chakra control, mastered a few of the Fourth Hokage's minor techniques. 

With a mission starting the next day, Koshino went to bed early.

The next morning, as Koshino's shadow clones disappeared one by one, he couldn't help but feel a bit worn out.

Fortunately, the Nara Clan had plenty of secret medicines. Having spent a lot of time with the Nara Clan, Koshino knew a bit about pharmacology and prepared a hearty breakfast to recover from his training fatigue.

Then, after organizing his belongings and donning his Anbu attire, he thought about the upcoming mission with Kakashi.

To avoid being late, Koshino arrived early at the meeting point, only to find that Kakashi was over two hours late, which made Koshino quite annoyed!

"If Kakashi says he was helping an old lady or ran into a black cat... hmph!"

"I'll definitely give him a good beating! Let him know the consequences of being late!"

Cursing silently, Koshino felt helpless since Kakashi was the team captain.

Finally, after waiting as long as he could, Kakashi's presence finally entered Koshino's perception, having been late the entire morning.

Sensing Kakashi's sudden appearance, Koshino instinctively swung a punch at Kakashi's head.

Normally, not only would Kakashi easily dodge Koshino's playful "attack," but even a surprise attack from Koshino would be no problem for him. 

But on this day, when Koshino suddenly threw a punch, Kakashi didn't react in time and fell to the ground from Koshino's blow, making Koshino realize something was off.

Especially when Kakashi, after falling, stood up slowly with lifeless eyes and spoke the words Koshino had long been waiting to hear, Koshino felt an ominous premonition in his mind!

"Koshino, there's no mission today, go back and train."

"Uh..."

New week and bonus chapter today keep them stones coming :D
