After figuring out I had yang release , I went to the village library to see if there was any records on how to use. fortunately, since the Senju clan was mainly dead, a lot of the basic yang release techniques were in the village library.
According to the few books I read Yang Release was about breathing life into something that had none and controlling and generating vitality. The first step on yang release was either doing the medical ninjutsu of bringing fish back to life or trying to make a dried lead colorfully again. The leaf exercise wasn't wood release since you weren't making tress or leaves you were just reviving them.
With that information, it was time for the leaf bandit to strike all unsuspecting neighbors of their plants. I spent that night gathering fresh and dried leaves from across the village my backpack was full of leaves. I made sure i hide my back pack before going home and saying i forgot it at school for my mom to not find out.
I decided to train the yang release first since it fit more with the physical path I was taking and I don't think I could get high-level fire ninjutsu without becoming a ninja anyways.
The next day at school I realized school takes about 6 hours of my day, and I needed a way to work out more since it was cutting in my workout time. I decided I would spend half of the school time practicing the leaves exercise and the other half just sleeping so I could wake up earlier to do my workouts. And during times for shurikan and exams, I would just ignore them. Who cares about a stupid exam or shurikan anyway.
During my first few days of trying to turn the leaf green, I had little to no success. I didn't know how to separate the chakra to form yang or just generate yang chakra. I went and read the books in the academy and village a few more time , it seems to be able to separate ying and yang , you needed to understand how the source of your chakra works. Else it would already come out as regular chakra.
Seemed like I had to read a few more books on how chakra was made and circulated for me to have a grasp to where and how ying and yang mixed and generated. After a month or so of reading and asking questions from the police near my house , I somehow understood how the concept and generation of chakra works.
After that turning the leaf green again was somewhat doable once every 5-6 leaves the resting being destroyed puring too much chakra in. After practice for another 2 weeks, I could finally do it every time.
The first thing I wanted to test out was how coating my body with yang energy differs from regular chakra. After testing it out on some trees, I realized that yang release served three purposes amplify your strength, regeneration, or resilience(more than regular chakra). For example, I could make skin or muscles harder, or make any damage regenerate. I could also make my strikes have more impact by using the chakra on the point of impact. It didn't have the effect of making the muscles stronger like regular chakra. But it did help with handling the recoil if you used monstrous strength.
The next step of the yang release wasn't available in the books in the library since I wasn't even a genin , so I didn't have access to much. I thought about how could I level up this exercise, and I thought maybe if I could restore a full branch with dead leaves that be the next level. My neighbors would definitely not like this one. hahaha.
Shiki our teacher began realizing I was training my chakra nature. After class one time he came and told me I was better off learning the academics and the shuriken since those are the fundamentals of any shinobi. I told him to fuck himself and went home. He was visibly confused since he didn't think a kid would say that to him. Give him some points since he didn't fume like certain other people from me messing with them.
