3 Chakra In More Details

- 5 days later. Yamanaka Compound. -

In the bright room there was low heightened rectangular table, Shinya and Hanzo were sitting opposite each other at the table. They were drinking tea and eating some sweets with walnuts, this was their favorite grandpa and grandson time. Old Yamanaka might be tough towards Hanzo during his trainings, but outside them he still was beloved Oji who loved and cherished his grandson with all his being.

They tried to catch up with each other at least every other day; drank tea, ate some sweets and talk about anything. Mainly oldman would tell something interesting or answer Hanzo's questions, just like now.

"Grandpa now that I've opened my chakra system and activated my chakra what would be next? Will I be learning jutsus?" boy curiously asked.

"Normally that's what should be next. But instead we'll work on your control, hand seals and of course increasing your reserve. Hanzo why do you think we'll do that but not learn and master jutsus? I want to hear your thoughts"

"Because chakra is essence of all jutsus?" Hanzo furrowed his eyebrows and boated up his cheeks, Shinya thought that Hanzo's face while being concentrated was adorable, after some thought answered.

Shinya chuckled:"That's correct, let me elaborate on answer a little more so that you'll understand more clearly. As you said chakra is the essence of all jutsus, it's fuel of jutsu. So how can we empower our jutsus?

First, you can use more chakra to get more prominent effect, second improve your chakra control to use precise amount of chakra and make the most yield of jutsu without losing any chakra during the process and third through continuous practice master the jutsu.

Most shinobis use first and third ways more often and use second way merely, exceptions are medical ninjas who mostly rely on second, chakra control.

So which method is best?

In my personal opinion, all of them are important neither of ways should be neglected, what should we really do is plan which way when, in what order, combination and with how much effort should be used."

"So how should it be grandpa?"

"In order to get the best result with least efforts shinobi should start with control, spend most of his or hers time on this aspect. When shinobi reaches the level of chakra control where needed amount of chakra is channeled from pool through chakra system to the targeted tenketsu points with minimal or no loss then shinobi should work on reserve and on mastering simultaneously. It should be at around of 60/25/15 ratios should be changed according to each individual shinobi, situation and progress. This method is too hard, too time consuming. At first it might feel that you're stuck, training is ineffective. There's no tangible results, your pears had learned numerous jutsus, showed colorful effects... many would quit this point but if at that very point you keep pushing hopefully you would overcome that handicap you will soar into sky like a dragon who've broken its chains and shackles....

Also this method is a dangerous gamble, because shinobi might simply be killed before he fully uses this method. For example, this method was not possible during Warring States Period but now with some adjustments we can use it."

"By some adjustments do you mean, starting from childhood? First teach child how to read and write, after that teach some science and make to read books on daily basis aiming to increase spiritual energy. Play games between study sessions that include stretching etc. After some time when child is old enough start physical training aiming both to increase child's physical energy and prepare a solid ground for taijutsu training. Next comes taijutsu training which will both increase all aspects of chakra and improve child's combat abilities thus increasing its chances for survival. Am I right? By the way, when was your first battle and first kill Oji?" thoughtfully asked boy.

"As expected of my boy, you're totally right. Unfortunately, I first participated at the battle when I was 5 years old, my first kill was couple months later." Shinya proudly praised boy.

"I see, as you said this method was not possible to use before. But.. what about now? Does Konoha use it, if not why?"

Oldman pondered for a while organized his thoughts and answered:"No, Konoha does not use it. As for the reasons, there are 3 main reasons I know. First, after Konoha was established people were living their lives freely, without constant pressure and danger they felt before...no one thought about it. When Second Hokage Senju Tobirama was considering to change training system Konoha was on a edge of war, so any drastic changes were postponed after war. Tobirama only slightly modified existing system by increasing taijutsu and weapon ussery time by decreasing ninjutsu time, thus giving Academy students essential practical skills of survival."

"What about second and third reasons? Why system hasn't been changed after war?"

"Answer to you last question are basically last two reasons. They're ignorance and laziness. We're to ignorant to see problem or accept something new which is controversial to our traditions and too lazy to implement changes. I myself and our Trio Alliance had same problems, but after your father's... well in order to make a plan for your training I used all my available resources to analyze lots of data. I studied theory of chakra, studied lifes and known training routines of famous shinobis and also analyzed data from First Shinobi War. I had two main objectives they were to find main causes of death on the battlefield and find countermeasures, and second find difference between powerhouses like Hashirama, Madara and other mediocre shinobis. After obtaining preliminary results I was shocked, I even thought that I've made a mistake I rechecked several times after obtaining same results I asked opinions of other elders of Trio. They're as shocked as me, after several additional tests we came to a conclusion that we must make changes if we want Konoha and our families to prosper on. After long conversations year and half ago we sent summary of our results on battlefield data to Hokage and Council. Oh it was fruitless effort not only we're rejected nobody even called us... "

"Hanzo, we shinobis are obsessed with our physical and jutsu aspects that we've forgotten about spiritual aspect of chakra and life itself. Physical aspects have their limitations, which I believe can be overcame but with great efforts, while spiritual aspect seem to be limitless. Why to waste your time and efforts gaining small negligible results when you can get greater results with same or even smaller efforts concentrating on spiritual aspects. Hopefully it's not too late for us, especially Nara and Yamanaka clans who specialize on spiritual energy or Yin energy. But these all are topics we'll talk in near future. Now let's appreciate the taste of these deserts"

A. N. : Story might be somehow dull with slow pace but it will get better after couple chapters. I am just creating a scaffold of training system, explaining its basic characteristics and philosophy, afterwards I will continue with time skip and dwell on canon story.

Just have some patience, keep following and leave reviews. Peace to all of you.
