"So, now the training begins!" Kakashi propped himself up with his crutches and looked over his students.
"Yes, sir!" Naruto grinned enthusiastically.
"But, before that..." Kakashi held up a finger. "Let me explain again Chakra power for a Ninja, from the beginning."
"At this point...?" Sasuke closed his eyes for a moment and put a hand in his pocket.
"Of course we know about that!" Naruto nodded. "Chattora, right?"
"It's Chakra..." Kakashi corrected, letting out a heavy sigh as he shook his head slowly.
Naruto chuckled nervously. "H-Heh..."
Kakashi glanced to Sakura. "Yes, Sakura?"
Sakura cleared her throat quietly and put her hands on her hips. "Are you listening, Naruto?! It's tiresome, so I'll explain it simply!" She held up a scroll for him to see, then rolled it so he could see the writing and illustrations. "Chakra is energy that a Ninja requires when he uses a Jutsu!"
"It's made up of two energies." Sakura pointed to the images. "One— Physical energy gathered together from each and every cell in the body and, two— spiritual energy accumulated based on training and experience!" Sakura looked at Naruto to be sure he listened, then looked down to the scroll. "In other words, Jutsu wrings out and combines those two energies from within the body and this is called 'combining the Chakra.' Then, Chakra is activated by forming hand signs."
"That's exactly right!" Kakashi smiled at Sakura, then looked at Sasuke and Naruto. "Iruka really does have good students."
"Hee." Sakura giggled to herself and smiled at the praise.
"Whatever!" Naruto complained. "I may not understand difficult explanations, but I'll just learn it with my body!"
"Naruto's right." Sasuke spoke up and looked at him from the corner of his eye. "We're already able to use Jutsu..."
"No! All of you still haven't used Chakra efficiently."
"What?!" Naruto glared at him.
"Hold on and just listen..." Kakashi continued. "As Sakura explained earlier, combining Chakra means picking up both the physical and spiritual energies and mixing them together within the body. And of course, the amount of each energy and the preparation of the energy changes based on the Jutsu you want to activate. Thus, all of you at present aren't using Chakra efficiently!"
Kakashi paused and his eyes rested on Naruto. "Even if you're able to combine a lot of Chakra, if you're not able to control it in a balanced way, the effectiveness of the Jutsu not only will be cut in half, but it may not even activate at all. Wasting energy like that will prevent you from battling for long periods. These are some of the weaknesses that can occur."
