"Me! Me! Me!" x3
The enthusiasm of the kids simmered in the air while raising their hands, keen and craving for these wonderful techniques.
"Great! Now, sit on the ground and relax your body. I will inject my Chakra into the body. Unhurriedly, feel the warm energy inside, and boom! That's it!" Yoichi commanded as the kids followed through the steps, sensing a warm unidentified entity called Chakra.
"Hua! Huuh! Swish! Sensei, I feel so powerful. My body felt so warm and brimming with energy!"
"Idiot, do not use too much energy! Based on the law of conservation, this energy cannot be created nor destroyed! An overly amount of usage can be harmful! Especially with our frail bodies!"
Looking at Ryoma excessively using the Chakra, Sumiko scoffed at him in a harsh voice.
She's right tho, though unduly usage of Chakra could be harmful even lethal in the long run.
That's why bloodlines reigned supreme in the world of Shinobi World. People could only kiss the ass of the Senju or Uzumaki Clan due to a large amount of Chakra reserves inside their cells.
There was no refinement when it came to Chakra, it was the accumulation of both experiences and the gradual growth of a person's body. And even if there's a refinement process, the result is limited and not sufficient.
Overall growth in mind and body as well as talents dictated the world. Just like how Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Minato Namikaze showcased their skills and cemented themselves as the best of the best even without bloodlines.
Chakra was not the overall basis of victory. It is merely a prerequisite as talents, battle prowess, techniques, and wisdom can overpower even the stronger enemies in combat.
"Dad! Can we learn now, how to incorporate this energy into those destructive fires?" Sumiko added.
"Of course, but the energy inside you must be properly controlled first. Chakra Control was a must due to the relative dispersions of Chakra inside our body. Here, I will show you the Basic Chakra Control. Feel the Chakra and control it down to your feet, and then you can walk in walls or even the water if you have satisfactory Chakra Control." Yoichi made another demonstration and walked to the top of the tree while just walking around with his Chakra.
"The trick for this was to put the Chakra into the feet in even distribution. Too much Chakra input would consume your energy and make you fall. Too little Chakra input will never create such friction with the tree. Understood?" Yoichi explained as his body went upside down like a monkey, expertly swinging on the tree.
Children were fascinated by the prospect of climbing a tree. After all, mounting onto a tree with no effort was a child's dream.
Return to Monke.
Afterward, Makima came, and he taught the basics at a slower pace. Once Makima awakened the sleeping Chakra inside her, she went to practice her Chakra control by climbing a tree but she did it effortlessly as her body could use Chakra in much prolonged periods.
It's not efficient to use too much Chakra when climbing or water walking due to the precious energy that could be consumed in much more major techniques or escaping enemies.
'The Basic Chakra Control in water walking was also in the concept just like wall-climbing. Too much Chakra was wasteful and too little will make your feet slowly submerge into water. Just feel the changes first and then ask questions." Yoichi explained and demonstrated the work in a nearby river as the kids and Makima nodded, ready for the exhausting but fulfilling practice.
After 3 hours of practice, they could wall-climb and water-walk in a greatly efficient way. It is easy to learn and execute. Yoichi didn't just do nothing, he did the Saitama Training Plan but his body was not even drained out. Instead, he went beyond and performed running around the town for 500 kilometers, sit-ups for over 10000, and pushups for
10000. Eventually draining a quarter of his energy.
Now he understood the benefits of mixed Chakra-Ki inside his body and shook his head in exasperation. The wonders of mixed energy kept him alive and well for the day, not even exhausted.
The kids and Makima were appalled by his monster-like theatrics but continued back to training for a powerful and better future.
—————————————————
Around 4 PM.
[Lazy Accumulation has been activated.]
'I need to improve the [Phantom Dispersion Technique] much further. I should let the seal continuously move but the duration will be cut down to a higher degree... Once the seal is destroyed, it must compress all the Chakra-Ki and explode equal to an explosive tag or an A-ranked ninjutsu! It's not a weird design unlike Edo Tensei but the lethality must be like an explosion!'
After practice, all of them began resting near Yoichi's house. The summer lights and verdant winds faintly blowing. The kids were practically exhausted due to Chakra consumption but slowly regaining back some of Chakra while Yoichi was in deep thought, messing and experimenting with techniques with his profound wisdom.
"Sensei, is training supposed to be this hard?"
Ryoma grumbled in searing weakness.
"It should be this hard. Fundamentals is a must-have. How did the samurai skillfully kill his opponents? How did the people construct such meticulous establishments? How did the people gradually become masters of their work? It's because of their never-ending practice!"
"All of these things were gonna be your foundation whenever all three of you would eventually be old enough to stay afloat, in this sea full of mediocrity!" Yoichi described how easy it could get.
Just as one verse from 50 Cents song: Cause death gotta be easy cus' life's too hard. It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred.
The children merely nodded, absorbing the real ideas of their teacher.
"For now, let's call it a day! When you three go back home, analyze and comprehend the lesson you've learned from this day." Yoichi smiled and patted their heads.
"Sensei! Take care!"
"Dad, are you not having dinner with us?"
Ryoma and Natsumi took their leave while Sumiko glanced at Yoichi with an innocent and pleading expression on her face.
"I have to rest for the day. I had some boar meat yesterday and I need to be at my full power for tomorrow's battle." Yoichi shook his head while Sumiko was dejected at his response.
"Okay, we will go back to home for dinner. After that, I will go home immediately. Is that a deal?" Yoichi changed his mind, bringing her mood into a pretty much happy spirit.
Yoichi went into Makima's house with Sumiko in his arms, looking pleased in her father's arms.
"Oh? I thought you would rest after the practice?" Makima was surprised at Yoichi, who had arrived at the home.
"Kid's pretty much a weather. Dejected and happy at times. Maybe she got it from someone..." Yoichi grinned with a teasing expression.
"She got it from me, so what?" Makima puffed her cheeks, proudful but childish in her display of cuteness.
"How adorable..." Yoichi pinched her cheeks and pecked her lips, revealing a blushing face from Makima.
Makima took it deeper by grabbing his clothes as the sensual chaos ensued. Both were competent in 'fighting' as desire and cravings gradually simmered through the atmosphere.
"Ahem! Ahem!" A cough rang through. Both of the gladiators were stifled in a second as Makima disengaged but Yoichi merely smiled at Sumiko.
'Kissing in front of me?! Is that how proper adult acts?!'
"... Is the dinner ready?" Unfazed, Yoichi added.
"It is... I will prepare it in the meantime, excuse me." Makima hastily left the scene with a slight blush on her ears.
Noticing someone looking at her, Sumiko hmphed as Yoichi shook his head in amusement.
"Dinner's ready!'
Hearing it, Yoichi and Sumiko sat down in unison.
The meal for the dinner was a cooked fish with miso soup and the legendary food, white grains.
The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable since there was no certain loudmouth boy as all of them ate the gracious meal in relish.
"... Are you sure you can fight 4 people simultaneously? They are fierce and formidable warriors based on their achievements!"
"Nah, I'd win."
After alleviating Makima's concern, Yoichi went home with his fully satisfied belly as he sat down on the side bed with squinted eyes and furrowed eyebrows.
'It's gonna be a neck-to-neck battle with 4 of them fighting me at the same time. Akashic, can my passive abilities work in that contract?'
[Regarding about the matter, no.]
'It's good. There are no loopholes.'
Yoichi wanted to defeat them in a fair and square battle. According to the contract, physical power is one of the keys to victory. Mastery, Absolute Body Control, and hard-earned experiences were gonna be unleashed for tomorrow's fateful battle.
After all, he wants them to see their soon-to-be husband's formidable and confident condition.
Yoichi took a deep breath and sighed, removing possible overthinking as soon as possible as he lay down on the bed, sleeping within a couple of seconds.
The day was eventful for Yoichi but his day passed through without any problems.
His day 3 in this world is now over.
