Training
---
Sora and Itachi sat in one of the Uchiha training grounds in lotus position with their eyes closed and in deep concentration.
Fugaku stood behind them one of his hands on each of them. From his hand a short pulse of Chakra shot into the still locked chakra systems of Sora and Itachi.
Feeling a warm sensation inside his body, Sora focused on that feeling and slowly started trying to guide it towards his stomach area. The warm feeling left left his upper chest and lightly resided within his stomach. Moving on to the next step of unlocking his chakra he started extending it throughout his Chakra circuits to his numerous chakra points. After 5 or so minutes two small bursts of chakra was shot out in the Uchiha training ground as Sora and Itachi opened their eyes.
[+50 Chakra for unlocking it]
Itachi nodded at his brother then turned to Fugaku and asked, "Father what next?". Fugaku replied whilst taking out 2 papers from his pockets, "I'll test your affinities and then you can practice some chakra control exercises." . Sora recognised these from the anime, they were papers that were meant to test your 5 basic elemental affinities.
Fugaku gave a paper to each of them as he instructed them on what to do, "Send out a pulse of chakra by finding that warm feeling again and guiding it into the paper". Sora went first as the paper in his hand split into three, one of the papers dampened, the second one burned into ashes and the last one wrinkled. "Good, you have four affinities to fire, lightning, water, and wind. Earth can also be trained up eventually as long as you train hard enough." Fugaku praised Sora. Following his brothers footsteps Itachi also sent a pulse to chakra into the paper. The paper in his hand split into two as one side burned and the other dampened. A dissapointed look flashed on his face seeing Sora had more affinities than him, seeing this Fugaku cheered him up, "You may have one less affinity than Sora but that's nothing to worry about, most chunin and jonin don't even have two, even I've only got one, having more affinities doesn't really mean anything as long as you train hard". Itachi nodded in response as Fugaku moved on to the next topic.
"Aside from the basic elemental affinities, if one is skilled enough or has a kekkei genkai, you can combine those elements to make a new one. The best example of this is the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju known for his wood style which combines Earth and Water release." Fugaku explained before something a bunch of leaves appeared in his hand. "This is the most basic Chakra control exercise, you have to get the leaf to stick to you using Chakra, use too little and it doesn't stick, use too much and it crumbles."
[Quest!: Chakra Control!
Description: Learn how to control your chakra by completing the Leaf sticking Exercise!
Reward: Shop Points (x400), +100 Chakra
Failure Penalty: None]
Sora wasted no time and got some leaves and started trying to stick them to his head.
Instantly the first few leaves crumbled from not being able to handle his Chakra.
[-0.5 Chakra]
[-0.5 Chakra]
[-0.5 Chakra]
Sora tried again, this time putting in less Chakra. Like the last time, this attempt ended in failure as the leaves couldn't stick and simply fell off.
[-0.1 Chakra]
He kept on reattempting as he slowly added more chakra each time, seeing Itachi finish within the first 30 minutes edged Sora on even more. Looking at his chakra he had barely spent a tenth of his recently increased Chakra. Itachi had gone off to a different training exercise whilst Sora had still been trying to get the leaf to stick. A few more minutes had passed before Sora actually managed it.

+100 Chakra
+Shop Points(x400)]
Now that he thought about it, a thing Sora had never done was check out the shop. Opening up the Shop menu a screen had appeared in front of him, on the top right it showed how much points he currently had, in his case 500.
Slightly below that were different filters he could put on such as cheapest to most expensive or defensive skills or attacking skills, whilst no filters were on it just showed random S rank and above skills which were all way too expensive, the cheapest one he saw. being 100,000. It wasn't just skills though, there was a section for armors and weapons, even potions and the sorts. Sora would check out the shop again some time, but for now he would train.
Fugaku went over to him, giving his usual grunt and nod of approval. "Next, start trying to climb trees using only your feet. The concept is the same as the leaf exercise but you direct Chakra to your feet instead. Use this Kunai to mark your progress.", he explained as handed Sora a Kunai.
Sora already knew all this so he didn't really pay attention and just nodded to what Fugaku was saying before going to a tree in some part of the Uchiha training ground.
It definitely took a lot more Chakra trying to climb trees than trying to get leaves to stick to you. At first when Sora saw how slow his Chakra was depleting, he thought maybe his reserves were actually quite big but only an hour in of tree walking and Sora was practically on the verge of Chakra Exhaustion.
He didn't exactly know how to get his Chakra to regenerate faster so he sat down in a meditative position as he started to focus on his surroundings. Within the air he felt lots of particles of Chakra, and some other energies which he couldn't currently recognise. As if his body was a magnet, the chakra in the air slowly started moving towards him and inside him.
The process took about half an hour but when he checked his chakra, it once again increased. Sora checked on Itachi's progress, it was only slightly better than his.

Sora started training at 1 PM and currently it was 6 PM. The sun was starting to set and Sora and Itachi were laying on the ground exhausted. After they managed tree climbing, Fugaku hadn't gave them any more Chakra related exercises and instead, physical ones. First they had to run around the Training ground for 30 minutes straight -give or take a few-, then they had to do a lot of push-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc. To finish it all off, at the end of the day, Fugaku made them spar for about 10 minutes whilst correcting stances and forms. It was really draining and exhausting but Sora was definitely satisfied with the fruits of his training.

As Sora was being carried by Fugaku, he spaced out a little during his thoughts, 'I'm almost gonna be 5 years old and there's still a war going on outside of the village. Hold up... almost 5... Sauske should be coming around soon then!
(Later that night)
The family was having dinner in silence which was quite unusual for them. The silence broke when Mikoto suddenly spoke, "I'm pregnant". 'I knew it!', Sora thought to himself. Fugaku looked at Mikoto in shock and Itachi wondered what Pregnant meant.
