"Very good. Your fire chakra control has improved to a satisfactory level. Now we can start with wind chakra control.
It will be a little more difficult than the fire exercise because your primary affinity is fire, not wind. Still, it's more than enough to make it your major element. It is very rare for someone to have three elemental affinities of such a high degree. It can even rival some Kekkei Genkai power. Though first, you have to master all three elements, I'm sure you can do it easily. You were able to learn fire chakra control in one week. Even I had to train for two months for that," Yukihiro said.
"OK, Sensei, what should I do for the next exercise?"
"It's simple, you just have to do this."
Yukihiro picked a leaf, and suddenly it was bisected down the middle.
"This exercise is different from the previous one where you burned the leaf. At that time, you just had to release fire chakra, and the leaf would start burning due to the nature of the fire chakra.
On the other hand, wind chakra is not sharp in itself, but it can be easily molded into sharp blades. However, you'll have to learn that on your own."
"Sensei, what does wind chakra feel like?" Kaida asked, as it was important to know how to mold the chakra.
Yukihiro nodded and formed a ball of chakra in his hand.
"Pass your hand through this ball."
Kaida did as instructed. What he felt was something similar to a morning breeze with a soothing effect. He passed his hand through the ball multiple times to get a proper feel for the wind chakra.
After that, he went to his practice area, made 10 shadow clones, and started meditating. After 30 minutes, he made 5 more shadow clones.
While his clones were trying to mold normal chakra into wind chakra, Kaida spent 3 hours meditating. One by one, he dispersed his clones at intervals of 10 minutes and made new ones. This helped in two ways: the other clones got memories and ideas about how to proceed further, and the new clones, with more chakra, continued the practice.
The new clones were nearly able to mold the chakra into wind chakra. It was just a matter of time before they would succeed. Just as Kaida was about to go back to meditate, one of his clones dispersed itself, having successfully molded its chakra into wind chakra.
Kaida quickly dispersed all of his clones, and his chakra was back to 80%. He then made three shadow clones, and they began trying to mold their wind chakra into wind blades.
He went back to meditate again, but just after one hour, one of his clones dispersed itself, having successfully made a wind blade. Kaida dispersed his other two clones, picked a leaf, and bisected it in two. But then a thought occurred to him: why should he make a blade of wind chakra? Couldn't it be made of normal chakra?
He tried to make a blade from normal chakra, but the problem was that the blade was very dull and passed through the leaf without cutting it. Seeing this, he thought:
'Wind chakra is easy to mold into a sharp object, but normal chakra is not suitable for attacking due to its ethereal nature.'
He then picked up a leaf and threw it into the air. Before it could reach the ground, it was bisected into two pieces. With a smile on his face, he went toward Yukihiro to show him that he had successfully bisected the leaf.
"Sensei, I have completed the task you gave me."
Saying this, Kaida picked up a leaf and bisected it down the middle. Expecting the second step to be the same as the previous one, he was happy that he had already completed it.
But Yukihiro's words completely crushed his expectations.
"Very good, Kaida. Now, you have to bisect a piece of wood."
"But Sensei, where will I find enough wood so that I can practice with my shadow clones?"
"Don't worry, I've got you covered," Yukihiro laughed and placed a bag full of wooden pieces, each 2 cm thick and 15 x 15 cm in length and breadth. Kaida picked up a wooden board, half-expecting that he would be able to bisect it.
But when he tried to bisect it using a normal wind blade, all he managed was a small scratch.
"Hahaha, did you think you would be able to bisect it right away? Kaida, to bisect it, you have to make your wind blade sharper and tougher.
But I'm sure you'll be able to do it with enough practice, as it's not something different from what you did with the leaf—just a 'little' more powerful."
Kaida nodded his head and went back to training. Using his shadow clones, he continued training until 5 PM.
After that, their training time normally ended. Returning home, Kaida and Yomi discussed their progress. After repeating the same thing for three more days, Kaida was able to bisect the wooden plates too. But when he went to Yukihiro to tell him about his success, his target was changed to stone plates of the same size. Bisecting them took nearly 10 days.
But when he was able to bisect the stone plates, Kaida was sure that he could easily kill a normal person without them having a chance to react, as he could project a wind blade powerful enough to bisect stone. Though his range was not much, only 5 meters, it was still enough for any civilian—though ninja were a different story altogether.
After 10 days of continuous practice, he went to Yukihiro to show the completion of the third and last step of the wind chakra control exercise.
After bisecting the stone plate in front of Yukihiro, his wind chakra control exercise was also over. Now, only earth chakra control remained.
"Very good, Kaida. Now we are at the last part of your elemental chakra control training. Earth chakra control is not divided into three parts, but only one. In this, you just have to mold earth into various shapes. Your training will be over once you can make a replica of yourself."
Yukihiro then picked up some mud from the ground, and it transformed into a sculpture of Kaida.
Kaida once again requested to feel the earth chakra.
This time, it felt like a hard object, almost solid, though it was also soft and malleable at the same time.
After that, he went back to training, and after a full day of practice, Kaida was able to mold normal chakra into earth chakra. After that, he took one step at a time. At first, he made simple shapes from mud, like spheres, cubes, and cuboids.
But by the third day, he started making more complex objects, like star shapes or wheels. After two weeks, Kaida was finally able to make a sculpture of himself.
With this, his chakra control training was finally over.
