The Earth Catastrophe (Naruto isekai FanFic)

2. Starting From The Basics

Before starting any training, Kantomaru went to go have a shower and look at the body that he now inhabited. Kantomaru stood before the mirror, his breath catching as he took in his reflection for the first time. The face staring back at him was unfamiliar yet somehow his own. He was of average height for a four-year-old, his small frame wiry and lean. His skin, tanned from hours spent under the sun, contrasted sharply with the mop of unruly blonde hair that framed his face. He leaned closer, his amber eyes wide with a mixture of curiosity and disbelief. The eyes were the same, deep and expressive, yet the rest of his features felt strange, like trying on clothes that didn't quite fit. He raised a hand to touch his reflection, as if confirming that the boy in the mirror was indeed himself. His skinny arms and legs seemed too thin, too fragile, and the overall image felt alien. Yet, as he stared longer, he began to see hints of familiarity in the way his eyes crinkled when he squinted and the slight tilt of his head. This new body was his now, and the realisation settled uneasily within him.

After the shower Kantomaru got into a meditative position, closed his eyes, and looked deep within himself. It took him five minutes, maybe because he wasn't from this world and could quickly grasp what didn't belong in his body. It was warm and sticky, almost like— (yeah, I know what you're thinking, clean your dirty minds). Either way, after he unlocked his chakra, he made a training plan. A strong body was key and vital if he wanted to live long enough to tell his grandchildren that he built this family BRICK BY BRICK and that he would be damned if they tore it down just because they had a gender identity crisis.

He woke up at 6 a.m. and started the training that would become his new daily routine, minus Saturday and Sunday when he would rest and study or train his chakra control. For the next year, each morning at 6 a.m., he would stretch for 15 minutes, then do 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, a 30-second plank, 10 squats, and 10 dips (which he would do with a chair at the orphanage). He then did two more sets of each exercise, making it three sets in total, he then finished his training with a 4-kilometre run to build stamina (this was all possible because, due to chakra, the children in the Naruto world were much stronger than normal children). This would all take approximately an hour and some minutes, so he would later take a shower and rest for a while before meditating for as long as he could, which for now was five minutes as he had little to no concentration. However, during his meditation sessions, he would make the most of them by playing around with his chakra, moving it all around his body from corner to corner to increase his chakra control.

After that, he would rest and read some books about Sunagakure's history, past Kazekages, and traditions to get more familiar with this nation and help in the academy, which he was sure to join in two years. In the evening, he would repeat his morning training as he had time to spare. During the next six months, he increased the difficulty of each exercise as he got used to them and found them easier. He also made sure to socialise with the children of the orphanage when he had time, as even though he used the "I want to be a ninja" excuse to train and be alone, he couldn't do it forever as it would seem suspicious.
