Chapter 7 - Training With The Third Raikage

Yoko spent 10 hours sparing with her avatar in the 3x gravity dimension, so only 1 hour had passed in the real world while she was there. After she finished sparing, she left the dimension, and she appeared in her apartment.

Yoko appeared in her apartment, half-naked from all the training she did in the dimension. After taking a bath, she decided to go to sleep for the night after a good meal because she was starving.

Yoko checked her fridge. She smiled when she saw there was a lot of food in the fridge. "I must thank sensei for filling up my fridge when I see him tomorrow." She thought to herself while smiling.

Yoko started cooking just like her mother taught her when she was alive. After preparing her meal, she sat down at her dining table and began to enjoy it. While she was eating her meal, she decided to open her system and see how much she had improved while training in the gravity dimensions.

In The Morning

Yoko woke up early, had her breakfast after washing up, then put on her ninja gear and went to the training ground to meet her sensei.

Yoko was surprised when she saw the Third Raikage standing in the middle of the training ground. She raised her eyebrows when she saw him and asked, "Lord Raikage, what are you doing here?"

The Third Raikage chuckled when he heard her question: "I am waiting for you, little Yoko."

Yoko was surprised at his answer, and when he saw her shocked look, he started explaining to her, "Ay had been sent to the frontlines; our village and the hidden mist village are currently at war with each other. Little Yoko, our Jounin commander, died, and Ay is the most suitable person to take command of our forces in the mist battlefield camp." 

Yoko widens her eyes when she hears that war has broken out between the mist and the hidden cloud village, but she nods her head in understanding of what the Third Raikage has just said to her. He then continues, "For the time being, I will train you in Ay stead."

Yoko nodded to the Third Raikage, and then he asked Yoko, "Ay told me he showed you the tree walking exercise; did you master it?"

Yoko didn't reply to the Raikage; instead, she started walking to the nearest tree, and then she started walking up the tree trunk calmly, like she was taking a stroll in her personal garden.

The Raikage smirked when he saw Yoko had totally mastered the tree-walking exercise.

After Yoko reached the top of the tree, she looked down at the Raikage, who was smiling at her. He then said to her, "Well done, little Yoko. Get down now. I will teach you how to walk on water."

Yoko was surprised, then she started giggling and said to the Raikage, "Come on, did you hit your head or something? No one can walk on water."

Raikage chuckled and waited for Yoko to come down from the tree. When she came down, they both stood in front of a lake.

The Raikage then started explaining to Yoko about the water walking exercise: "The water walking exercise is a chakra control exercise like the tree walking exercise, but it is more difficult than the tree walking exercise."

"The user of this exercise will be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface."

After the Raikage explained this to Yoko, he started walking to the lake. Yoko widened her eyes in shock when she saw the Raikage walking calmly on top of the lake without care, like he was taking a stroll around the village. "Yoko widened her eyes when she realized that the Raikage was actually walking on top of the lake.

The Raikage then looked at Yoko and said, "Now give it a try, Yoko."

Yoko nodded to the Raikage. She closed her eyes, trying to remember every word he said in his explanation of the water walking exercise.

She then made the ram hand seal and started attempting to walk on top of the lake. Yoko started wobbling at first, but quickly she adjusted herself.

The Raikage marvelled at her talent, and then he smiled at her as she started walking on top of the lake.

The Raikage then said to Yoko, "Good. Now you will need to attack me in Taijutsu while on top of the lake."

When she heard this, Yoko smiled in excitement and nodded to the Third Raikage. She charged at him with great speed. Her speed surprised the Raikage and herself, but Yoko quickly adjusted to her new speed and started throwing punches and kicks at the Raikage.

The Third Raikage widened his eyes when he saw the speed and power behind Yoko's punches and kicks. The Raikage gave an unnoticeable smile and said to himself, "Her punches are strong and fast for an 8-year-old girl; she is way stronger than Ay was when he was her age. Very interesting."

After 5 minutes, the Third Raikage noticed that Yoko had totally mastered the water walking exercise, so he decided to spar with her. He focused only on defense and countering Yoko's strikes.

Every time the Third Raikage counters Yoko's strikes, the power behind these counter-strikes sends her flying. However, despite the numerous times that the Raikage sent her flying, Yoko kept smiling widely; she was having fun while sparing with the Raikage.

When he saw Yoko's smile, Raikage smiled widely. No matter how many times he sent her flying, she continued to get up and charge at him, throwing punches and kicks at him.

The Raikage and Yoko kept sparing for an hour, then the Raikage stopped their sparring and said to Yoko, "Well done, little Yoko; you not only mastered the water walking exercise, but you also impressed me with your Taijutsu skills. Starting tomorrow, we are going to spar in Taijutsu every day."

Yoko smiled and nodded at the Raikage, and then the Raikage told her, "Now, Yoko, I'm going to teach you about elemental Ninjutsu."

Yoko's eyes widened in surprise, and when Raikage noticed her surprise look, he said to her, "You don't need to worry, Yoko. First of all, you have an incredible amount of chakra. For an 8-year-old girl, your chakra reserve is equal to a Jounin. Secondly, your chakra control is exceptional. I only taught you the water walking exercise in order to make sure you are ready to learn the elemental Ninjutsu."

After hearing the Raikage's words, Yoko nodded her head, prompting the Raikage to ask, "Do you recall the 12 hand seals you learned in the academy?" Yoko nodded her head. "Yeah, I remember them, Lord Raikage."

When he heard her response, the Raikage nodded his head in approval. He then started walking away from the lake, with Yoko following him. Once they arrived at the center of the training ground, the Raikage said to Yoko, "When you are training your elemental Ninjutsu with me, we will concentrate on honing your lightning affinity. I have a lightning affinity, and it is one of my specialties."

Yoko nodded her head in understanding, then the Raikage said to her, "What you need to do first is focus your chakra and combine it with your hand seals to manipulate the lightning element; for starters, I want you to create lightning sparks." 

After hearing the Raikage instruction, Yoko nodded to him. She started focusing her chakra and combining it with hand seals.

She tried to create sparks of lightning, but to no avail. After half an hour, Yoko succeeded in creating lightning sparks in her right hand. The lightning sparks were dancing in her right hand, "BZBZBZBZBZ."

When he saw this, the Third Raikage widened his eyes and smiled widely. "Usually people take more than a week to succeed in creating the lightning sparks, but she succeeded in a mere half an hour. This confirms my suspicion that this girl is a genius."

The Raikage then took three scrolls out of his kunai bag and said to Yoko, "Well done, little Yoko. Take these three scrolls."

Yoko was confused. She grabbed the three scrolls that the Raikage gave her, and he started explaining to her, "These three scrolls are the theories behind the lightning release jutsu, the theories behind the water release jutsu, and the basic theories behind the storm release jutsu."

Yoko was surprised when she heard this, but the Raikage continued, "I was only able to get you the basic theory for the storm release because the Hishasuki clan is very protective towards the secrets of their bloodline; it is only thanks for the favour that they owe me that they gave me this scroll, Yoko."

Yoko felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She bowed to the Third Raikage and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Raikage sama. I promise you I will not disappoint you, and I will train hard."

The Third Raikage nodded his head in satisfaction and said to her, "Good. I look forward to seeing how much you improve in the future, Yoko. Ay also told me you are talented in kenjutsu. Tomorrow, two of my Anbu will train you in Kenjutsu and water release. You are free for the rest of the day."

Yoko nodded, left the training ground, and walked back to her apartment.
