Chapter 11 - ninjutsu training

- then choza san, thank you for the delicious meal ! * bow *

- its nothing. besides ken chan , I promise you that you can have a free meal all you can eat everytime you bring beast corpses * smile * .

- I will definitely remember to bring only those which you told me today . * embarrassed * I didnt think that so many the beasts would be inedible ( taste bad even if cooked ) .

- ma ma.. I'm amazed with your memory because you memorized every beast mentioned in our family receipe book in one try . so you will definitely be fine from now on !

- * smile * next time then * shunshin *

holy shit ! I will be really careful from now on . I really didnt think that those shit boars were actually poison beasts! sigh .. I was really embarrassed when I was reminded or rather educated by choza san personally for an hour about hundreds of beasts mentioned in their clan recipes. i liked this man because he is honest and most of all loves to eat delicious food , well in their clan they eat too much though . I can understand because they turn calories into chakra but still I was too surprised when I saw them eating 10s of large servings of meat like snacks inside .

a few days have passed since ken came back and reported his mission . he only trained his body while using weight seals and spent the rest of the day eating in restaurants inside the village. well seriously there were too many restaurants so ken actually still hasn't visited more than 15 famous restaurants yet which includes ichiraku ramen too . so he decided to kill time by hunting some bests in the outskirts of village while earning some points. but his luck was both good or bad with hinting . it was good because Ken found a horde of boars and killed all of them earning 650 points . it was bad because the delicious looking fat boars actually turned out to be inedible or rather poisonous beasts .

ken couldn't be blamed though as who would think that boars were poisonous? with boars only their rapid charge, huge tusks and fat meat comes into mind after all . anyway so choza educated ken and ken managed to memorize everything easily because his memory improved much more than before with his psyche becoming stronger .

seriously though ken actually has photographic memory but it's an extra skill of sharingan which he cannot use in public.

when ken came back to his apartment near the farthest corner of the village, unexpectedly inu had come to visit him . even though he was the captain but it was rare for anbu to visit the house of fellow anbu especially in their masks .

- ken , I brought you these scrolls * toss them into air * ..

- * catch them easily * are all these missions?

- you mad child stop talking mission mission all the time . even anbu deserve breaks and in your case i practically have to force you take a break sigh .

old captain , i want to earn points quickly so i have no choice but to appeal like this to you because you wont let me take missions. hmph.. well even i find my behavior weird but i have no choice..

- then what are these scrolls? i have already learnt basic infiltration skills * confused *

- ahem ! these are all D rank ninjutsu so make sure to master them . I will come here again 5 days later so master at least one jutsu till then * shunshin * .

hmm.. I can purchase practically mastered jutsu from system so I never really thought about learning some myself . well , at least I can pass time with these ...

- system , can you tell me my chakra affinities?

- affirmative! host currently possesses fire affinity which is 100 percent !

- is my perfect affinity the result of uchiha bloodline ?

- bloodlines purchased from system are purest and without side effects !

hmm.. I never really thought about it but yea I dont feel burst in negative emotions like hatred . well this is excellent because I don't want extreme emotions to control me anyway.

if I remember correctly then the more affinity I have with an element then it will be easy to transform my chakra into element chakra. hmm.. I dont really that much about these things .

- system , can you tell the process of nature transformation ?

- ninjutsu is created with two steps - nature transformation and shape transformation !

hmm.. so system can only tell me this much but I already remembered some things .

so simply nature transformation must be an advance form of chakra control as one has to change properties of chakra and shape transformation must mean changing form of chakra in the form of jutsu . hmm.. so basically I have perfect fire affinity and perfect chakra control so it must be easy for me .

then ken started mediating and thought about the properties of fire . Ken's mind was filled with chemistry about combustion instantly but he chose to discard it because it would be too difficult to change properties of chakra this way . so ken just imagined burning flames inside his mind and started molding his chakra to be fierce like that . maybe because he has perfect affinity and chakra control , he succeeded in first try and a small flame was hovering above his finger .

ken was of course overjoyed but chose to not interrupt his thought process and started thinking about shape transformation. shape means form and movement so ken started imagining his flame become fierce and still back and forth . all of a sudden like a moment of enlightenment, Ken's mind was suddenly filled with various images for fire like fire pillar , volcano etc . this time ken focused on raising the temperature of his flame. more chakra started consuming but ken was smiling because his flame became hotter and hotter and finally the colour changed to dark red .

Ken understood that jutsu were all about element affinity, chakra control and imagination . without even one of these factors , a ninjutsu wont be successful . so ninja invented simplified process of molding chakra in time so that every ninja can skip this part and use ninjutsu with more and more chakra as the price . while they can gradually perfect their affinity with imagination and practice and increase their chakra control to reduce the chakra cost and use more high level ninjutsu. so in the end jutsu were ranked according to required chakra and affinity . higher ranked jutsu will consume more chakra and the power or effect of the jutsu will be greater .

ken was actually right with his thought process . rikudo sennin didnt need hand seals to use a jutsu because he had perfect chakra control from birth and absurd amount of chakra. while his son indra invented hand seals so that molding chakra the right way can lead to a specific ninjutsu. so one doesn't need a hand seal to perform specific jutsu when they had practiced it to the limit as their body remembers the correct chakra moulding process which means perfect control for the specific jutsu.

so ken chose to change locations because his mind was filled with ideas about various fire techniques right now . ken chose the sme forest of training ground 3 and started practicing his own new jutsus straight from imagination .

first he imagined a huge flame pillar and moulded his chakra . right then just like he imagined , a 5 meters and five feet wide flame pillar appeared 10 meters away from him from the ground . then ken raised the temperature gradually and everytime he casted the jutsu , the colour of flames would become darker and in the end it became dark red ( close to crimson ) .

after that ken imagined the same pillar but this time he drastically decreased the temperature of flames and wala.. light yellow coloured flames appeared this time .

then ken did the same but this time he reduced the temperature everytime. in the ended just before Ken's chakra was exhausted, he managed to create light blue flame pillar which were actually cold but the destructive properties of fire remained.

like this ken mediated for an hour everytime his chakra exhausted and tried many jutsu again when it returned till it was exhausted again . the fun kept getting more and more fun so ken couldn't stop and he finally passed out in the end because sleep assaulted him with mental fatigue . it was around 7 pm when ken entered the forest and 4 am when he ended up sleeping . his jutsu arsenal increased yes but with constant depletion of chakra and recovery , his chakra reserves finally broke to chunin level as it was already very close when he started his creative and fun magic session ..
