9 Chapter 9: Chakra control

After getting back, I stretched my body and laid down.

Entering back in my dimension, I started refining chakra while sleeping.

The seals help me all throughout the process. I don't  have to keep an eye on it. 

With my control and seals helping me I can multitask it while sleeping.

After 5 years of sleep, once I felt Matatabi was back with Kokuo I woke up and went outside. Due to time seal only two and a half years went by.

They came to my location to greet me with a hug, 

"welcome back" 

I hugged them back with my tails to surprise them and it was a success. " Brother, you have grown 5 tails. I am so happy for you "

She hugged my fluffy tails with stars in her eyes. " they are even more fluffy than kurama's" I laughed at the comparison.

"Ho! you have felt his tails?" I asked with a smile but my eyes were hollow as if devoid of any light.

Sensing something wrong with my behavior Matatabi panicked inside and hurriedly said "when we were just born we used to tug his tails, as he had more. we used to say 'you have so many you won't lose any if you give one to us.' "

It helped in brightening my mood a little ' I wonder why I behaved like that'. looking at Kokuo, who was looking at me with the same hollow eyes that held obsession.

I just smiled at her and gave her my tail.

Kokuo just hugged my tails interlocking with hers to my surprise with eyes closed. 'They say be careful of the silent ones, so true~~~.'

( A/N : interlocking tails is the highest form of intimacy for foxes. It's true I didn't  make any of that up. Definitely)

Matatabi also noticed and jumped on her yelling "Kokuo, you stealing cat!!".

" You are the cat here" Kokuo came with a fast reply. ' she really said it.' I thought.

It will be annoying now. " grrr, I am a tiger not a cat you slop.." she growled only to be cut off by me.

" That's enough, don't you guys think?" I said with a smile but my eyes were telling a different story, they audibly gulped and backed away.

Two most calm and collected girls acting like that, they sometimes give me headaches.

Now ignoring their adorable puppy eyes I said " I will give you seals to increase the density of your chakra once your growth is complete."

They nodded and asked " why not now? You are also training". Kokuo also nodded at her questions.

" Well you are in your growth phase which when completed will determine your chakra quantity which will be the permanent upper limit.

But that doesn't  mean you can't  get stronger.

If I start your density training now it will cause complications in the future for example irregular chakra, imbalanced chakra, poor chakra control.

So for now focus on chakra control. It will be easier and more productive in the future" they nodded indicating that they understood.

" For your chakra control you need to make chakra leave your body and for a thin layer on your body. Once done, come back to me for the next step".

They just closed their eyes and started training.

And after a day like an abandoned cat with puppy eyes came to me and said " Tsukimi nii-chan we did it."

She was literally looking like a puppy asking for attention which I gave " yep, you did well my little cat."

While patting her head with my tail, it feels weird to use a paw to pat. Anyway it worked as she was in her own world 'mine, he said I was his hehehe'.

' Oye ! Oye! What's up with those yandere-like eyes? Ah they look so attractive. Don't use such deadly weapons Matatabi.' I thought, shaking my head to get rid of such thoughts.

[ KOKUO'S POV ]

Standing Beside Matatabi I was thinking ' did she just accept being called a cat, hmm she didn't even hear him fully before going in her own dreams.'

I froze, feeling a tail caressing my head. It felt so good. Soon I snapped out of it hearing " you did good too Kokuo." Ah! He has been like that since we know him.

Always taking care of us. I melted in the embrace of the tail. Closing  my eyes. Grandpa was always there too but we couldn't always connect well like Kurama with him. Then big brother always helped us with everything we needed.

He hated when someone acted like a brat, since we were more mature than the rest in our behavior, he never scolded us. 

Even then he cared for us equally. He was more of a family to us than anyone was to him.

He sometimes tells us of his past but never everything. He tells us enough so that we can learn of the World's dark side and we can only imagine how he was treated as literally being a weapon for power; he called it the divine tree.

I nodded at him and asked " what next brother"

[ TSUKIMI'S POV ]

"Lets see make chakra threads between your fingers as thin as possible once you are able to create it as thin as a hair I will tell you next step." I replied after thinking for a while.

Snapping out of her day dream, Matatabi turned to Kokuo " let's go, we will do it as soon as possible and spend time with brother before the rest of the idiots come back."

I just stared at her dragging the poor girl out of the room.

' should I train as well? They may need a month doing that exercise. I should try some cool technique to pass the time.'

I just closed my eyes and made a rasengan after thinking what were the steps for it. " it's too easy for my chakra control"

I can easily control its size to the level of a meteor. ' let's add elements to it.' That was also easy to manipulate. I can manipulate every element to near perfect due to my chakra control.

I formed all styles of rasengan, then I keep on mixing more elements in a single rasengan but I need elements that accept each other like lightning with water, Wind with fire, earth with fire to form magma.

They were on another level. I can literally feel the power of the technique although it's  nothing to me but it will still do some damage to me. I need to improve my elemental resistance.

I even added yin and yang to a rasengan it formed a black hole-like  ball. These elements don't  mix but co-exist to stabilize one another along with the concept.

Once detonated this could be as lethal if not more than a tailed beast bomb. Once done playing with them I just dispersed the chakra which is only possible with my level of control.

If not the technique would lose control that's  why every jutsu formed has to be fired, especially high level ones.

I went to my dimension, formed a Huge hot spring enough to reach my chest and went into it to soak myself. This is one of my favorite things about Japan: a private open bath, so relaxing.

I remember there is a seal that I recently came to know of here due to my increase in mastery of seals and chakra, it's very hidden, that Hagoromo never trusted me not that I am surprised.

He thinks that I will revive her, well kind of true the girl had suffered enough. I'll knock some sense in her too.

The seals will trap me especially, using my chakra as base and alarms that will alert the old coot if I temper with the moon's seal. I destroyed the seal except the sensing part. I will let him know that I will be freeing her. Do what you can hehe~~.

I drifted sleeping there in my dreams. I was being pestered by some kids, ugh these demon spawns. I came out of the dream in horror. " ugh I hate kids. I can't  see myself having one. "
