The blooming of a cherry blossom tree

Chapter 4: 1 month training Part 2

After reading the book inner had given her, Sakura had come to the conclusion that she should never ever lose this book because it was a fucking gold mine.

Not only did the book explain all there was to know about double soul and her particular mental  landscape. It also had a list of all the different skill a second soul could let you use.

Obviously, as good as that seemed, it couldn’t have been without conditions. To learn a new skill, Sakura had to have a certain chakra capacity or she wouldn’t be even able to use those skill. And damn if those skill weren’t chakra consuming.

But she decided to make a list of all the skill she would like to learn in the future. There were some she could already learn with her actual chakra capacity.

The first one was a skill called ‘Intention reading’. It basically gave the user the capacity to predict their opponent moves . Thought it only worked for the next 5 second after it’s utilisation.

Sakura wanted to learn this skill because it would give her a necessary advantage even if it was very short. But thanks to her intelligence and fast thinking, she would be able to exploit those 5 little second to their full potential.

In the book, there was written that in order to perform that technique, very few chakra was needed. Which make it perfect for Sakura actual chakra reserve. It would give her a great advantage without taking all of her chakra.

The only negative think about this skill was that in order to achieve it, she had to train her dodge and prediction of attack. The principal exercise they advised to try was to have things throw at you at different speed and distance and to try to dodge them.

This would make your reflexes a lot better and it would eventually make you achieve the skill. And once you unlock the skill, image of what is about to happens will instinctively come into the user mind when she need them.

So Sakura decided that for the sake of this fantastic skill she could unlock, she would add this exercise into her morning physical training.

And she also decided that she would start learning medical ninjutsu because she knew that she will never be able to dodge all the projectile from the first training session. So she will need to heal herself.

The second skill she wanted to learn before going back to Konoha was a skill called ‘Genjutsu reversal’.

She was interested in it in the first place because Kakashi sensei had told her she was a genjutsu type. But after reading on the book what it could do, she decided that she had to absolutely learn it because it was simply too good not to.

Though this skill would be a lot more of a problem on her small chakra reserve since it used a great amount of chakra. But she would still learn it and only use it when necessary for the moment.

The skill basically consisted in the possibility for the user to take possession of their enemy genjutsu once it was casted on the user.

It meant that once the genjutsu was casted on her, she would just need to ask inner to take control of the flux of chakra and revers it on the enemy which would then make it so that it was like if it was her who had casted the genjutsu in the first place.

And the best part about this skill was that it worked on any type of genjutsu. Any type, which means it should also work for any kind of genjutsu casted by the sharingan. Or at least that’s what Sakura want to believe.

This little details wasn’t written anywhere in the book, she had just assumed it would probably work. Guess she would had to test it with either Sasuke or Kakashi to be sure. But it would be really great if it was the case.
