Mujin took a break from missions for two weeks so that he could train Dandin. As each day passed Mujin's levels of disbelief continued to rise. On the second day Mujin realized it was pointless to teach Dandin how to meditate because he could do it easily. If he needed to meditate more, he was able to do it by himself. Therefore, to teach him how to control his chakra, he taught him how to hold a leaf to his forehead by using chakra. But Dandin was able to do it on his 'first try.' He easily held it on his head for two hours. That almost gave Mujin a heart attack. So, on the third day he showed Dandin how to hold the leaf on his head while moving his body. Dandin also did that without trouble. On the fourth day he taught him how to walk on trees. That took Dandin one day to master. That was a shocking speed, but Mujin was too numb to appreciate what his son had accomplished and moved on with the next step of training. On day five Mujin took Dandin to a nearby pond. He showed Dandin how to walk on water. By the seventh day he had also mastered that.

"I don't even care anymore," Mujin thought. "I can't grasp Dandin with my rational mind. I don't think anyone can."

"Daddy! What are you going to teach me today?" Dandin asked innocently, "This is all so fun!"

"Today we're going to learn Taijutsu. It's important for a ninja to be able to fight with their fists and you're no exception to that. But the Taijutsu I will teach you is not simple Taijutsu. It's our Hatamo Clan's Taijutsu. It infuses chakra into your attacks and body movements. Most of the time we teach the fighting moves first and the chakra infusion second, but I think it is more beneficial for you to learn them at the same time."

"That sounds amazing! I want to learn!" Dandin jumped around to show his dad how excited he was.

"Good, start with the exercise routine I taught you before, but you must do it while you continuously activate your chakra. Try to feel your chakra flow through your entire body. Feel it in every limb, every finger, toe, and cell. Breathe in chakra and let it flow to every part of you. Feel it. Then, maintain that state and do the exercises. If you lose control of your chakra you will have to regain control and start the exercises routine from the beginning."

Mujin waved his hand to the side and said, "Start!"

Dandin closed his eyes and focused on his chakra. He let it flow into every chakra point and spread through his whole body, but that was very difficult to do. He'd never tried to use his chakra like this before.

He tried to make his chakra flow into his entire body, but it quickly collapsed. He tried again, and it collapsed again. It collapsed six times, then twelve times, twenty-four times, and when Dandin tried to spread his chakra out for the fiftieth time he was only able to push his chakra a little further than the first time before it collapsed again.

Dandin's whole body was covered in sweat. His breathed raggedly. Nevertheless, he didn't give up. He was about to start his fifty first attempt when he heard Mujin laugh. He opened his eyes and looked at his dad who sat on the ground with a wide smile on his face.

"It looks like our genius son can also have difficulties." He said with triumph.

"Dad... that's not nice."

"It's okay, it's good for you to struggle a little. If you keep practicing until the end of the day, I'll give you a hint. How does that sound?" Mujin asked with amusement.

"..."

Dandin ignored his dad, closed his eyes, and kept training.

When four hours passed Dandin was far from covering his body in chakra. His chakra reserves were even starting to run out.
