"You go back for now. e to Training Area 13 at 6 AM tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to make a shadow e there," the Hokage said.

  Both Kaida and Yomi bowed their heads slightly a. Upon reag their home, they decided to rest for the day, as it had beeally exhausting. They ged their clothes, took a walk around the vilge, aurned home after having dinner.

  …

  Kaida y in bed, deep in thought.

  'Hmm, what Hiruzen told us about the Shadow e Jutsu mostly matches what I know from my previous life. Though some teicalities were new and a little disappointing. I thought maybe, not the same amount as Naruto, but I'd be able to make at least 20-30 shadow es and learn every jutsu. Reality sucks... But the most surprising discovery today was the method for chakra growth.

  The e between chakra and intellectual growth was ued. It looks like the first use of the Shadow e Jutsu won't be for learning jutsu but to learhings. Since Hiruzen said that shogi help with this, I'll find a parto py with—someone from the Nara would be perfect. Hahaha.'

  With that, Kaida drifted off into slumber.

  …

  The m, both of them woke up at 4:30 AM out of habit. However, instead of training, they decided to meditate to clear their minds and prepare for the uping training session.

  At 5:30 AM, they headed toward Training Area 13, arriving at 5:50 AM. They recalled the old man from the orphaeag that for a ninja, arriving at the appoiime means being 10 mie.

  At exactly 6:00 AM, the Hokage ehe training area. Both of them bowed toward him.

  Hiruzen smiled, seeing that they had a solid foundation and the habits of a true ninja. He began his lesson.

  "We'll skip the pleasantries araight to business as I have very little free time today. First, let's see how chakra is molded in this jutsu."

  With a flick of his hand, a dummy made of earth emerged from the ground. He marked various points on the dummy, representing the chakra points all over the body that assist in chakra flow. He then began teag them how chakra behaves during the jutsu, what to think, and how to give orders to the jutsu.

  This was retively simple: you just have to think about what you want the e to do. Sihe e possesses all your memories up to that point, it will also carry out the order you were thinking.

  After that, he moved on to the hand signs.

  "Now, the hand sign for the Shadow e Jutsu is… This is simple yet plex at the same time. O piece of advice: if you pn to use this jutsu to learhings, be prepared for the headaches that e with the sudden surge of a rge amount of information."

  With that, Hiruzen pleted his lecture. Kaida now uood why he was known as the 'Professor.' It was truly a waste that someone so knowledgeable wasn't teag the new geion but instead wasting time on paperwork.

  Pushing those thoughts aside, both of them began trying to perform the jutsu they had just learned. Hiruzen stood by, watg in case any problems arose during their initial practice.

  Kaida first tried to move his chakra as Hiruzen had instructed, which caught the Hokage's attention sihis was something very difficult for an academy student to do. After failing to achieve the desired result through just chakra manipution

  (A.N.: obviously), Kaida began f the hand signs. Whe seal was formed, a e appeared on his left.

  Sihis jutsu is difficult mainly due to its chakra requirements rather than its cept, which is somewhat simir to the basic e Jutsu, Kaida's e immediately begaing its physical capabilities.

  It ran, jumped, crawled, and even started eling chakra into its legs to perform tree-walking exercises. Then, just as quickly, it dispersed itself. As Hiruzen had mentioned, Kaida received the e's memories. Sihe memories wereensive, Kaida didn't experieny headaches or disorientation.

  From the memories, he cluded, 'The e doesn't have a very strong body—it's around 70% of my fitness—but its chakra manipution is as good as mine, if not a little better. Well, si's made of chakra itself…'

  Oher hand, Yomi was on her knees, not because she couldn't perform the jutsu, but because perf it had drained more than two-thirds of her energy. The sudden chakra depletio her physically aally exhausted.

  After taking a few deep breaths, she sat on the ground, watg her e. Unlike Kaida's, her e didn't perform tree-walking exercises. It did some basic physical exercises, but then it did something different: it walked over to Yomi and said, "Yes, I think I talk."

  Hearing this, Yomi became happy, and her e dispersed itself.

  Seeing their progress, Hiruzen smiled and said, "Very good. You both were able to perform the jutsu on your first try. Excellent work. Now, tio practice for a week and e to my offiext Monday. We'll discuss what to do ."

  "Thank you, Lord Hokage," they both said, bowing.

  Hiruzen theuro his office using the Body Flicker Jutsu.

  **A.N.:** Some of you might wonder how they were able to learsu in one day. Well, Naruto mao learn the Multi-Shadow e Jutsu in couple of hours all by himself, which is a more difficult jutsu than the regur Shadow e Jutsu. Also, they were taught by the man known as the 'God of Shinobi' and the 'Professor.' If they couldn't learn it on their first try, they'd likely be extremely dumb, which I assure you they are not. That's all from my side :p
