9 Ch 9 : Guiding Sakura

In the training ground of the team 6

" Damn it!!!" Hibachi screamed as he noticed there was a crack on the tree that he stepped.

*Krak* The part of the tree bark on which Hibachi stepped broke, and Hibachi fell toward the ground again.

It was already two hours, but Hibachi still didn't find a suitable amount of Chakra to put on his feet during the tree-climbing exercise.

He looked at the two girls beside him, and a clear trace of frustration appeared on his face.

Ami, even though she hasn't been able to clear the tree-climbing practice yet, still has climbed a lot higher than him, and the progress was imminent.

And Sakura... this monster..

Hibachi still remembered the time when he and Ami were shocked by Sakura's talent.

The first time she tried doing tree-climbing, she successfully reached the peak.

And after that, Sakura repeated the tree-climbing exercise several more times, increasing her speed every time she went.

Eventually, she was called out by Sanada to have a personal tutoring session because Sanada thought that it was useless for her to continue this training anymore.

Hibachi continued to watch the two girls training, and not wanting to be outdone, he came to Sanada for a piece of advice.

" Sanada-sensei, can you give me a tip?" Hibachi asked politely.

But this time, Sanada only shook his head.

" There is no tips, Hibachi. Everything needs hard work, and it isn't bad to realize it sooner that you need to do a lot more hard work than other people." Sanada said while patting Hibachi on the shoulder.

Sanada could easily give Hibachi some tips on tree-climbing exercise if he wanted.

But for this first session, Sanada wanted to slap Hibachi's ego and told him that sometimes realizing that you are weak is a gift.

If you realize that you are weak, you will be able to put more effort and know when to give up. He had watched Naruto anime countless times, and one thing that Sanada learned from the anime was if you are not Naruto, you need to know when to give up.

Sanada then left Hibachi to calm himself down and walked toward Sakura's direction.

Among the three, it was a lie if Sanada said that he was not impartial. Sakura was the most talented among them, and of course, she was the one that needed a lot more guidance.

He watched Sakura, who was holding the leaf in frustration and a slight smile appeared on Sanada's face.

Previously, he had conducted a chakra test paper to Sakura, and fortunately for him, Sakura's chakra affinity was water.

Sanada had two chakra attributes, water, and lightning, but currently, he only knew several water types ninjutsu and the Murloc Karate. If Sakura's chakra attribute was not water, then maybe Sanada would have some trouble guiding her.

Now Sanada was only waiting for Sakura to be able to master the first stage of Chakra nature before using the "Chakra nature proficiency training card-disciple only" on her.

But at this moment, a new system prompt appeared on his mind.

.

[ DING!!! Congratulations to the host to start walking the road of a great teacher.]

[ New function has been unlocked to the host.]

[ Affinity system: The host would be notified when you get a favorable impression from the disciple. The higher grade of the disciple, the better the reward will be.]

[ The impression level is separated into five, neutral, good, like, love and worship.]

[ If impression level is below neutral, the target could be judged as hostile toward the host.]

[ Haruno Sakura, Impression level: good (1/1000)]

.

" Sakura, are you okay?" Sanada suddenly appeared before her, which somehow startled Sakura.

" Ah!!! Sensei! What are you doing, sensei? You are startling me!"

" Hehe, no need to be so tense, Sakura. You can tell sensei what problem you currently are facing."

Sakura was a bit hesitant to say at first, but when she saw Sanada's caring look, she decided to tell it to his sensei.

" Sanada-sensei, actually, I don't know why, but no matter what I do, I just cannot make the leaf wet." Said Sakura with a bit embarrassed look.

After the first time she shocked everyone during the tree-climbing exercise, expectancy had grown in Sakura's heart. She was starting to become afraid that her failure would disappoint everyone.

Sanada looked and Sakura and sighed. Girl at this age.. Why are they really think too much?

Sakura looked at Sanada, who sighed and felt her heart pained. Is it coming? Will she get scolded, she thought?

But on the contrary, even after some time, the scolding didn't come. And in fact, Sakura could feel Sanada's big and warm hand on his head.

" It's okay, Sakura. Everyone failed before, and it is that failure that makes us human." Sanada said to her. " In fact, you are just thinking too much. Come here and follow me. I will show you the way."

Sakura was a bit confused with Sanada's words, but she still followed him.

The two walked to the corner of the training ground where it was free from all hindrance, and Sanada took Sakura's hand into his.

" Relax, Sakura, follow my movement and don't resist," Sanada whispered.

Out of her respect for her sensei, Sakura didn't refuse and follow his guidance. And at this moment, a miracle happened.

Sanada's Chakra flowed into Sakura's body, and Sakura could feel the leaf was starting to get wet. Then, Sanada used his manipulation of water attribute chakra that had been enhanced by the Murloc karate to manipulate the water droplets around them.

" Sensei.. this is?" Sakura couldn't believe her eyes.

What she had seen right now was something that was straight from a fairytale.

The small water droplets converged one with another, making some small animals play chase or even dance around them.

" You know Sakura, what you need is just to calm down, relax and believe in yourself. Feel through the flow of water and soon, you would realize that you were able to control them.

Remember, the mind is like the water. When it's turbulent, it is difficult to see, but when it's calm, everything becomes clearer."
