Its already been more than 3 week since, i started practicing Trackless steps and Rekkou. And this month is coming to end. But i didn't get any mastery in them. I was able make small dent in stump which is located in middle of training ground but that's it. I don't have any alternative on practicing Rekkou. And for trackless steps, its requirements are more absurd. I need more powerful ninjas to practice on them. But i don't think they are gonna agree to help me so I gave up on this Idea, I can ask Shishui san but this information will directly go to hokage sama. I am not trusting hokage's friend so i don't want this information to go there.
For i gave up on performing Trackless steps in crowd or any other person's view. For now i want to keep practicing them against trees and once i think i am good enough i will start practicing in crowd or other places.
Other than that, about Shishui san and Chikako, their training with Observation Haki is going quite bad. Its already been over month and week, but they couldn't able to get any signals about intent with which i am throwing balls. But they are practicing with patience so its good for them. I know Hokage already know about me succeeding in Observation Haki. But he must be thinking its not that powerful technique. But in future, he will know its true power.
In academy, Daikoku sensei, already shown each of us transformation technique 3 to 4 times. And my control on chakra is higher than other classmates i was able to do it in 4th time. Of course i was practicing transformation technique in my free time. This is only E rank technique in world which can beat higher power level guys. Hihihi. But for me, Chakra requirements are quite high. Chakra level increasing is taking quite a lot of patience from me. But i know, there are other methods to increase my chakra but i don't want to do them as they are integrating some people in me and quite taboo methods. I don't think i have access of them. In academy, i have only 1 advantage on others and that is Kenjutsu, and higher body strength and control. Kenjutsu is not allowed right now as its course for 4th year and onward as no clear minded adults gonna give bunch of children swords. Hell, they don't even started shuriken and Kunai throwing practices. Shuriken practice and Kunai throwing is class for second year students and even in second year its, 2nd semester class. For first years its basically, learn to write, read and chakra training and 3 basic jutsu. But only our class has advantage on Kawarimi, but its not gonna be much there, as other class civilian class also adapted game for Kawarimi practice.
About my total body control, it increased to near 20%, But still quite behind. My legs and hands control increased to 80%. My core control has increased upto 30%. Quite hard to increase my core but still i was able to increase it up to 30%. But i don't how to increase it further than this. I need to find someone for advise and i can think of only 1 person. JIJI. But i don't think he has returned yet. May be i should visit Orphanage.
There is some other things happening in village. Biggest news is Uchiha unrest is somewhat subsiding. I can't think of reason. As per timeline they should become more unrest and start to think of coup. As i was thinking this i already arrived to Training ground 10.
Its already 5 pm. Chikako should come in some time. Chikako needed to visit his grandparents, so today's shogi battle was cancelled. But he still promised to come for Observation Haki training. If his parents knew, what i am doing to their kid, they will surely come to beat me up. I also heard, his father has Moniker, "Shdaow Demon". He is active Jonin, who has contributed greatly in third Ninja was and promoted to Jonin and got Moniker. He is also quite respected in Nara clan.
As i was waiting, in 10 min, both Chikako and Shishui san arrived.
"You two are late."
Chikako: "My grandma was causing ruckus so i got late."
"What happened?"
Chikako: "I don't want to talk about it."
"She must be wiping, as soon as you said, 'I am going to training ground to Practice Shadow possession Jutsu'. Right?"
Chikako looked shocked.
"Did i hit bulls eye."
Shishui: "hahahaha".
Chikako: "Don't laugh, you are also late."
Shishui: "I was being briefed on my new mission. And that's also i need to inform you two. I am going on 3 years long mission on Friday of next week. Its S rank mission. I was informed by our clan leader. Further information is gonna given by Hokage sama."
What, but how should this happen. Isn't Danzo is after his eyes. On base of timeline, Shishui san should be dead in 1 year. But its good. What's coming in future, I want help from Shishui san. And him being alive is greatest help i can ask for.
"Best of luck for your mission. You won't be learn this jutsu than."
Shishui: "Don't take tension its just information gathering mission. And about perception technique, I will practice in my spare time. I will ask my companion for practicing."
"Wow, you are so diligent." I said in teasing tone. But Shishui san didn't care about it.
Shishui: "Lets start practice."
"Okay lets start."
And Practice started, and i got same result as last time, i was able to dodge 4 times out of 10 as average. But still in 1 month, 1 time out of 10 times, increment is good. If its gonna go like this i will be able t enter basic usage of Observation Haki. And on base of Observation Haki, I will be able to achieve Blade Steal Quite easily. Its good, i asked for Observation Haki.
Afterwards, Chikako sat in middle. And same result, he has some ball prints on his face.
Now Shishui san, sat in middle. Than practice started. But today, something different happen. After, first three session, on forth session, he was able to dodge 1 ball. I thought it was coincidence and i continued. But after i threw all ball, Shishui san stood up. Than, i got it what happened. Shishui san also looked pleased. After seeing Shishui san smiling, even Chikako knew he succeeded. Not great result, but he was able achieve it.
Chikako: "Congratulations, Shishui san, You are second person to grasp this technique."
Shishui: "Thanks Chikako, Thanks also Ikki, Because of you i was able to learn this training."
"Its all your efforts. How was the feeling? And your thoughts at that time." He know, i want to encourage and give his experience about that dodge to Chikako. And via Shishui san succeeding, Chikako knows its possible also for him to learn. So he is gonna practice this technique with more interest.
Shishui: "Quite difficult to explain it. But at that, I was calm, but i was confident also. As if i can do anything. And than i got signal."
"Yep that's the feeling. Congratulations. If you continue to practice, you will get advantages of this technique."
Shishui san nod on this.
"I thought of naming this technique, What do you say i name it?"
Chikako: "How about Intention reading technique (Ito no yomitori no Jutsu)?"
Shishui: "How about Mind arts: Read intent (Yomu Ito no Jutsu)?"
"This technique doesn't rely on Chakra. So calling it as Jutsu is bad. This technique spread color in darkness so 'Color', so should i say 'Haki'. And it grants power of observing intent so 'Observation' so should i say 'Kenbunshoku'. Umm That's good, Lets name it 'Kenbunshoku no Haki'."
