Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 38: Recklessness

(A.N: you guys have to agree the image is fire right?)

****

After two more hours of meditation, his chakra reserves were full. This time, he only created one shadow clone with 80% of his chakra. The clone did the same thing Kaida did initially—releasing different types of chakra from each hand and forming a fireball in the middle.

Though it didn't disperse immediately and stayed like that for some time, after five minutes, the clone made a small mistake, and the fireball extinguished.

The clone continued the exercise again and again, eventually succeeding in making the fireball stable for more than 30 minutes. Due to the low amount of chakra, it dispersed itself. When Kaida received the memory, he had around 60% chakra, so he continued his meditation. Afterward, he created another clone once his chakra reserves were full again.

This time, the clone had to make a fireball with one hand. Kaida decided to play it safe, as Yukihiro had said it might be risky. He made a clone with only 10% of his chakra. As soon as the clone started releasing both chakras from a single hand, its whole hand caught fire. The clone swiftly stopped the chakra release, and the fire died down.

However, due to the damage it had suffered from the fire, the clone was on its last legs, and one more such accident would have forcefully dispersed it. So, it dispersed itself, and Kaida received the memory.

'Since I am releasing normal chakra from my whole hand, when fire chakra was released, my whole hand caught fire. So, I have to try to release chakra only from my palm and avoid covering my palm with it.'

He made five more clones with 50% of his chakra, and all five of them began trying to release chakra from a single point in their hand. After some more minor accidents, they were able to make a fireball from their hand, though its size and shape left a lot to be desired.

Kaida was just happy that he had learned shadow clone before this; otherwise, he would have been admitted to the hospital by now. Leaving depressing thoughts behind, he made five more clones, and they all resumed training while Kaida started meditating.

For the entire day, he kept making clones as they continued to take damage from minor accidents during the training period. At 5 PM, Yukihiro approached Kaida and said,

"Kaida, you can stop for today. It's already 5 PM. You are making very fast progress, so there's no need to rush. You should also take appropriate rest."

"Yes, sensei," Kaida said.

He dispersed all of his clones and headed toward the gate, where Yomi was already waiting for him.

"So, Kaida, how was your day? Did you make any progress in training?"

"Yeah, I'm on the third part of the training. I think I'll be able to complete it by tomorrow. What about you?"

"Well, I barely completed my first step and started the second one today. But the problem is lightning chakra is very random and hard to control. The more I try to project it toward a particular direction, the harder it becomes. I wish I had the fire attribute," Yomi said.

"Hahaha, and I wish I had lightning chakra, as it would have made me super powerful. Yomi, we've already discussed this multiple times. The results of the training will make the effort worth it, so do your best."

"YES, SIR," Yomi said with a mock salute.

After repeating the same routine as yesterday, they woke up at 4 AM again, fully refreshed after 10 hours of sleep. After completing their morning routine, they ran toward the training area, followed by morning exercise until 5 AM.
