After waking up at 4:30, Kaida completed his daily routine and then went to pick up Yomi for morning practice.
After doing morning training and tree climbing exercises, in which they were proficient enough, they could sometimes afford to divert their concentration elsewhere and still maintain the correct amount of chakra to avoid falling from the tree.
They went to their houses, took a bath, and then headed to the academy.
Since they didn’t have to attend theory classes, they went straight to the training ground and began their weapon training. Their accuracy in hitting moving targets had reached an acceptable level.
They started practicing hitting moving targets while running, which was not easy by any means. You need full motor control of your body to execute this, as the number of things you have to focus on increases.
Now, not only do you have to find the location of the target after some time and account for air resistance, but you also have to focus on where you are going and how your momentum will affect the direction of the shuriken. However, this time they didn’t have to start from level 1.
Due to constant morning training, their motor control was already really good. The only thing they needed to focus on more was their aim and the shift in direction that comes with the momentum of their motion.
At lunch, while they were eating, Ryota came over and sat beside Kaida, with Kiba going towards Kaida to get his daily dose of treats.
After Kaida gave treats to Kiba with lots of head pats, Ryota asked, "Guys, how is your jutsu training going? Actually, if you’re having any problems with the practice, you can come with me after class. I can convince my old man to teach you guys too."
"Thanks for the offer, Ryota, but we’re doing pretty well on our own. We’ve already learned two jutsus, more than the academy requires of us, and the Transformation Jutsu is going to take some time as I have some ideas I want to try," Kaida replied.
Ryota’s mouth hung open for a moment. After processing what he had heard, he asked, "You’re saying that you’ve already learned two jutsus and are training on your third one within two weeks? Do you guys even do anything other than training? Forget that, do you guys even sleep?"
"Hahahaha, we do, Ryota. We’re planning to explore the village tomorrow. Do you want to join us?" Kaida took his question as a joke, but the growth and learning speed they had achieved was enough to put some geniuses to shame.
The reason was simple: they had been training for chakra control for more than a year now. Their bodies were completely adapted to chakra, and they could even control the amount of chakra they wanted to use.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Because of this, they were able to learn these jutsus so easily. However, jutsus starting from D-rank can’t be learned like this; they are more difficult to master.
With each increase in rank of the jutsu, the difficulty also increases many times.
Ryota just stopped thinking about it and accepted that they were geniuses. With a sigh, he said, "No, my old man is going to teach me how to do the remaining jutsus, as I’ve only been able to learn the Substitution Jutsu so far. But don’t worry, I’ll catch up in no time."
"I’m sure you will. Best of luck," Yomi said while playing with Kiba.
After eating, they went back to their training and continued until Kenji arrived and told them that class time was over.
As decided earlier, Kaida went towards the library and Yomi went towards her house.
At the library, Kaida went straight to the D section where he found the book he wanted to read.
The book’s title was "True Power of transformation Jutsu." In this book, the author gave detailed descriptions of what you can and can’t do with this jutsu, such as:
…
It is possible to change into a non-living thing, but your chakra can be detected by someone if they are trying to find you.
Second, it is possible to change into an animal, but you can’t merge two animals, and animals like birds should be avoided as their memory has some issues. Let’s just say those who tried don’t recommend transforming into birds.
If you want to change into any animal, you have to learn the details about their anatomy completely so that you can imitate it with the help of chakra. Imagine if you don’t know how breathing works in an animal and you transform into that animal—you will die a very funny death. That’s why it is made in such a way that you can only transform if you know full details about it. It is also advised to familiarize yourself with the feeling of transforming into a said animal, as the sudden change in perspective can be dangerous in battles.
Now, one may ask, how can we transform into a non-living thing if we have to breathe during the transformation period? Well, that’s the second part of this jutsu; it helps you survive during that period with the help of chakra. Because of this, the chakra expenditure is also very high if you transform into any non-living thing, and it is advised not to try this unless necessary.
…
After all the details, several images and descriptions of different animals were given in the book. This was the main reason Kaida was reading it. He took some scrolls and started writing details about some animals he wanted to transform into.
After writing down the details of four animals—dog, cat, monkey (to blend into the environment in the future), and lastly, lion (just for fun)—he placed the book back where he had taken it from and went toward his home. He then headed straight to Yomi's house to start their practice for the day.
They made their way to the training ground where Yomi started to try and transform into Kenji while Kaida watched and gave feedback where he could see differences. At one point, it became awkward when Yomi transformed into Kenji with boobs. Kaida just turned his head away because he didn’t want to see his sensei in that form.
When Yomi realized her mistake, she canceled the jutsu, and both of them laughed their heads off.
When Yomi was able to copy Kenji to an acceptable level, Kaida started his training. The first animal he decided to transform into was a monkey. As the book had mentioned the sudden shift in perspective, he decided to transform into an animal that somewhat resembled a human.
