Chapter 18: First outing preparation

(Hey guys, if you like what you're reading, then please Support this fanfic, recommend it to your friend may be ^~^)

In the morning, Kaida woke up fully refreshed. He completed his morning routine and went to Yomi's house to take her to training.

They both went to their training area and started their morning workout. After two hours, they began the tree climbing exercise. Yomi tried first, and she was able to climb some distance, but after reaching five meters, her concentration wavered, and she fell. Kaida, already on alert, jumped and caught her mid-air, bringing her down in a princess carry.

Yomi blushed and silently wished time would stop so she could stay like that, but Kaida gently put her down and said, "It's all right, Yomi. I'll wait until you can do this without any major problems, so don't worry."

Yomi nodded and started climbing the tree again. This time, she maintained her full concentration on the chakra flow in her legs. She reached the highest point possible, but when she turned to come back down, she became nervous, and her concentration wavered again. She fell and landed in Kaida's arms once more.

After practicing for an hour and falling four times, Yomi was finally able to climb and return four times in a row. Kaida then began his tree climbing exercise, and Yomi stood guard for him, knowing firsthand the consequences of a momentary distraction.

Kaida didn't say anything and started climbing. He reached the top on his first try, but when he turned to come back down, his chakra flow wavered, and he nearly fell. However, he managed to stabilize himself and came back down. He repeated the process a few more times to reassure Yomi that he didn't need help with this exercise. Once Yomi was assured, she resumed her own exercise.

After completing the exercise, they both went back to their houses, took a bath, and left for the academy.

The first thing they did was get their weapons, as Kenji had mentioned. Upon reaching the weapon room on the fourth floor, they were taken aback by the variety of weapons available: kunai, shurikens, different types of swords, and more. They made their way to the receptionist and showed their ID cards.

The receptionist made their entry and gave them a packet containing two kunai and six shurikens. Though not as sharp as those carried by other ninja, the weapons were not dull either. Their sharpness was reduced slightly to prevent severe injuries during practice.

After collecting their packages, they went to their class where everyone was already present. Kaida and Yomi joined Ryota and Kiba, but before they could talk, Kenji entered the class and began teaching.

"I hope everyone has started practicing the jutsu I taught yesterday. Today, we will discuss various uses of the jutsu."

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

He began teaching various standard uses of the jutsu, and everyone listened attentively, some even taking notes.

After the class, they were asked to come to the training ground where another teacher was present. Seeing the doubt on their faces, Kenji explained, "Some things are easier to learn by seeing them in practice, and weapon training is one of them. So, Kaito-sensei and I will demonstrate the usage of kunai and shurikens in a fight. Watch carefully."

After everyone was seated, the demonstration began. Kaito started running around Kenji at high speed, throwing shurikens at him, which Kenji deflected with his kunai. After throwing 12 shurikens, they engaged in close combat with kunai as their main weapons. The demonstration lasted for 10 minutes, with occasional separations where they threw shurikens at each other, deflected by kunai. Since both were elite chunin, they toned down their speed and limited chakra use so students could see and learn.

After completing the demonstration, Kenji addressed the students, "As you have seen, shurikens and kunai can be used in multiple ways during a fight. You should practice them efficiently as proficiency will be graded in your next assignment. Now, stand in batches of 15 and start throwing shurikens at the target as I taught in class."

Kaida, Yomi, and Ryota stood together and began their practice. Their accuracy was poor initially, with none of their shurikens hitting the target. Other students didn't fare much better, except for the Uchiha twins who managed to hit the target board.

After several rounds and corrections from Kenji, Kaida and his group were able to hit the target, though not the center. Seeing their improvement, Kenji said, "Everyone has done well. You don't have to learn everything in a day. Your accuracy will increase with time and practice, so continue training hard. Once you are confident in your accuracy, you can move to an area with a moving target. Now, the class is dismissed for today."

After thanking Kenji for the lecture, everyone went home. Kaida and Yomi continued their practice like the previous day. With their daily schedule already packed with training, they decided not to include shuriken practice since they had time for it at the academy.

Three days passed similarly, and the day of the holiday arrived.

**Yomi's Point of View:**

Finally, the day is here. Even though I like training with Kaida, constant training was getting boring. He mostly focused on training until we did something dangerous. But when we did, he put most of his focus on me so that I wouldn't get hurt. That's what I like about him—he always cares for others and tries to protect them, even getting hurt sometimes in the process.

I'm glad I asked him to take a break, even though I was anxious about him getting angry over it. At first, I thought he had changed after that day when he was hurt badly by Suri, but I'm glad to know he hasn't changed much—just became a little more handsome.

Why does he have to be so handsome? Even during class, other girls try to steal glances at him. I'm just glad he doesn't pay them any attention; otherwise, he would be the most popular boy in the class.

After ranting in her mind for some time, Yomi decided to choose what she was going to wear for the outing today.

**Kaida's Point of View:**

'Hmm, since I said we wouldn't do any practice today, I can't do any chakra control exercises either. Even though Yomi wouldn't find out if I did, I don't like the idea of breaking a promise to a friend. But since I don't have a hobby, how am I going to pass the time? Let's just clean the house and arrange the furniture to pass some time.'

Since most shops opened after 7 AM, they decided to go out at 7:30 AM.
