We proceeded to a house. As we were approaching the house, we saw a red-furred monkey. The difference from a normal monkey was that it had two tails. As it saw new people approaching, it climbed down from the roof and headed toward a boy. The boy was around our age. He was playing with the monkey's tails and feeding it.
Orca approached them. As the monkey saw that, its tails stood up. Looking at it, they realized that the monkey had become alert against them. They stopped at that.
Village Chief: "Asahi, they have come to meet you and your little friend."
Hayate: "Asahi, can you communicate with that monkey?"
Asahi: "Minor, it's like a puppy. It understands my signs."
Ikki: "So it's intelligent. Hayate Sensei, we should ask for a summon from Sandaime-sama. As this beast is a monkey, they might understand each other. Also, we might get more information about the different world."
Chikako: "We should also consider that not all monsters are deadly. Some can even be tamed."
Ikki: "This changes mission requirements and also mission rank."
Hayate: "Agreed."
Hayate summoned a delivery eagle, wrote the message, and sent it via the eagle to Konoha.
Ikki: "How much time will it take?"
Hayate: "Around 2 days for the eagle to reach Konoha. For the summon to come here, it might take 1 day."
Ikki: "Great, 3 days' wait. I will sleep. You should teach these two how to use a tanto."
Chikako: "Why aren't you practicing and teaching us?"
Ikki: "I am going to think about a new technique."
Hinari: "Yes, that's a lie."
Ikki: "I am not lying." But it was clearly written on his face that he was lying.
Hayate: "Yes, that's a lie."
Ikki: "I should find a way to stop showing my mind on my face. Anyway, I am starting my own training in 1 or 2 hours, but I need to think about what path to take. Currently, my swordsmanship heavily relies on Saigeki and Yatagarasu. Rekkou can barely be used, but passively it gives a heavy impact on each strike. I have also integrated genjutsu into my attacks, but it's a low-level one, so high-level shinobi will easily see through it. There are 2 ways I can proceed ahead: nature transformation or other physical-based techniques."
Hayate: "I have seen your chakra control. It's high-level. It would be a waste not to start with nature transformation. You would be able to create other jutsus on the basis of that."
Ikki: "Nature transformation is okay, but creating jutsu is a different matter. On the ground level, I am a kenjutsu specialist, not a jutsu specialist. Jutsus are going to be for passive support only."
Hayate: "You are right. As your basics are solid and I am going to teach your teammates the basic use of tantos primarily, I will start you with basic chakra nature training. In the morning, you can learn chakra nature training, and as your chakra gets exhausted, you can start training in physics-based techniques."
Ikki: "Nice idea. You two don't be lazy and start training."
Chikako: "Shut up, definition of laziness."
Hayate: "Alright, stop bickering. Before starting, let's find out all of your chakra natures."
Hayate brought out 3 chakra papers. Each Orca took one.
Hayate: "Inject your chakra into it, and let it do its thing."
Chikako, Hinari, and Ikki injected chakra into the paper, and it reacted. For Chikako, it crumbled. For Hinari, it got damp. For Ikki, it had 3 reactions. First, it split into two; one part wrinkled, and the other part got burned.
Hayate: [When God takes something, it gives others. This kid has the lowest chakra, but when it comes to natural talent, he takes the largest cakes.]
Hayate: "Chikako has Earth chakra nature. It's rare as most Nara don't have natural chakra nature. Because of the shadow bloodline limit, they don't have any other chakra nature, but Chikako has Earth. For Hinari, she has Water chakra nature. For Ikki, I have to say, this is the first time I have seen three chakra natures in one guy. You have Wind, Lightning, and Fire."
Ikki made a victory sign.
Chikako: "Don't be smug. You have the lowest chakra in all Konoha Shinobi."
Hearing this, Ikki got downcast.
Hayate: "Okay, let's get to the topic. I will be teaching Hinari and Chikako the basic usage of tantos. For Ikki, what nature do you want to start with?"
Ikki: "Of course, Lightning."
Hayate: "The hardest one, huh. Okay. I will show you the basics, then you can proceed ahead as you see fit."
