Before exhausting her chakra once again, Yomi was able to successfully crumble leaves. As for Kaida, he was able to trol the fire to some extent, but still not to a satisfactory level, as he wao trol the fire to the point where he could make a leaf burn for more than one minute. However, it was getting burned in 10 seds at most, even when Kaida was trying to slow the burning process.

  After exhausting their chakra once again, they went to sleep.

  Waking up at 4 AM, they pleted their m routine and swiftly headed toward the training area. Sihe training area was 10 km away from their house, they ran there as a warm-up. After reag it in 10 mihey pleted some physical workouts until 5 AM. At 5 AM, their new sensei arrived at the training ground. Seeing them, they both bowed and greeted him.

  Both Daichi and Yukihiro heir heads and took their respective students to different parts of the training ground.

  Yukihiro took Kaida to the same pce where they had been practig before and asked him to show how much he had progressed. Kaida took a leaf in his hand, and it suddenly started burning, but after one mihe speed of burning slowed down, and it burned for 10 seds before suddenly starting to burn faster.

  Yukihiro's eyes widened. He khat Kaida had a very high affinity for the fire chakra attribute, but such growth was shog, to say the least. Normally, a ninja has to try for a month to trol fire to such a degree. Burning a leaf is easy, but the problem arises when you try to trol the fire, as you have to tinuously mold your chakra and and it to do your bidding.

  But remembering that Kaida had the help of 15 shadow es, Yukihiro nodded in uanding as Kaida had dohe work of 15 days in one day. Though 15 days is still a little time, it table, given Kaida's growth rate. Yukihiro thought:

  *"Hmm, now I have to rethink the schedule I had pnned for the 3 months. If he maintains this dedication, he will plete the previous schedule in 2 weeks max. Well, no problem. It's always good to have a promising student rather than a dull one."*

  He looked toward Kaida and spoke:

  "Very good, Kaida. You have pleted the first part of the exercise. Now, let's move on to the step. This is what you have to do now."

  He tossed a leaf in the air, and before the leaf reached halfway to the ground, it started burning and burned pletely before it touched the ground.

  "Since you ow burn and trol the fire of the leaf you are in tact with, in the sed step, you have to burn the leaf without physical tact. At the start, you don't have to toss the leaf in the air, but this step will be pleted only after you do what I just did."

  "Yes, Sensei," Kaida said and got back to work.

  He once again made 10 shadow es. As soon as they were formed, they each took a leaf, put it in front of them, and started their training. Kaida, oher hand, started meditating. After 30 minutes, he made 5 more es, but this time he did not stop meditating.

  There isn't a big differeween 15 and 16 minds, so he decided to tinue meditating so that he would not exhaust his chakra like the previous time. All of his es tinued practig for 2 hours without much success, and one of his es thought:

  *"In the first step, due to direct tact, my chakra was in direct tact with the leaf, but this time, si was not in direct tact, the chakra was uo reach the leaf. Even when I tried to release the chakra, it was normal chakra without any attribute. If we want to burn this leaf, we have to release fire chakra somehow."*

  But due to its earlier attempt to release chakra in the surroundings, the e was low on chakra, so it dispersed itself, and all other es got its memory. They all began trying to release fire chakra. As soon as any of Kaida's es made a discovery, they dispersed themselves.

  After 30 minutes, only 7 es remained. Kaida stopped meditating and made 7 more es with his full chakra reserve, so they would be able to train lohan the previous es.

  After 1 hour, a e was able to release fire chakra successfully, but it was not directed at the leaf and released into the whole surrounding. So a fire broke out in its surroundings. Though it was just green grass, the fire did not spread.

  The e dispersed itself. Wheher es got its memory, they began trying to direct their chakra toward the leaf only, which was not that difficult since Kaida was already practig the leaf floating exercise.

  **A.N.: Leaf floating exercise: trying to float a leaf above your hand with the help of chakra, and rotating it.**

  So after training for around 5 hours, Kaida was successful in burning the leaf without toug it. He woke up from his meditation since he had a full reserve except for the amount used to maintain the es. Once his es dispersed themselves, Kaida's reserves would be full.

  He picked up a leaf and pced it in front of him. When he looked in its dire, the leaf started burning, and a smirk found its way to Kaida's mouth as it was cool to just start a fire by looking at something.

  ---

  After telling Kaida his raining, Yukihiro made two shadow es to look after Kaida aoward his home to py with his little princess.

  When Yukihiro's e saw that one of Kaida's es had started a fire somehow, they were shocked as they expected it would take at least one day before Kaida would be able to release fire chakra. Their shock kept increasing as they observed Kaida's rapid progress.

  After every e was able to burn the leaf in front of them, one of Yukihiro's es dispersed itself. When Yukihiro got the memory of his e, he was as surprised as the e had been. But sihere was no emergency, he just made 3 more shadow es ahem to the training ground to be safe, as now the dangerous part of the training would start.

  ---

  Seeing that 7 of his es were low on chakra, Kaida dispersed them and made 7 more es. They began throwing a leaf in the air and burning it midway, though the results were a little... ued.

  One of his es tried to release fire chakra toward the leaf, but he missed the leaf and hit another e.

  "Hey, why are you attag me?"

  "I'm sorry."

  Watg himself apologizing to himself was awkward. The e who missed the target dispersed itself. Once every e got its memory, they increased their distand tiheir training.
