Control
"I'm home!" I said as I went to place my shoes on the perch.
"Welcome back" said my mother, who's voice came from the kitchen as I made my way towards the dining room. "Oh? Father's not back yet mom?" I said as I noticed only 2 servings on the table and no presence of my father. Then I sat at my usual position.
"The clan head summoned an emergency meeting, with your father and the other clan elders, I heard it is about something to do with the Uchiha" said my mother as she placed a pitcher of orange juice at the table and sat on the chair across me.
'Hmm... the prelude to the Uchiha unrest and annihilation...I see.... I know the other clans are not wary of it yet... but man ... the clan head's foresight is terrifying, its's a whole new level compared to others while given just the smallest of clues'. I mentally thought as I began to dig in the food before me.
"But.... isn't it a bit too early?" I said out loud in which, received a questioned look from my mother.
"What do you mean early Shiro-kun?" asked my mother as she filled my glass with juice. "Ah, its nothing mom." I replied nonchalantly, maintaining a look of bored expression.
'Ah... that was close..' I nervously thought as I continue eating.
"And oh... we'll start with your chakra control training after lunch" said my mother as she smiled gently at my expression. "Yes!" I excitedly replied as I began to eat faster.
After lunch, me and mother went to the backyard to start with the training. It's not what I expected though.
Instead of directly training with the tree-walking and water walking, she gave me a scroll, one that shows a chart of the various Tenketsu points of a shinobi. She explained the concepts of limitation, chakra flow, and restriction as the chakra flows in it. She explained how the chakra reacts when doing jutsus and etc.
She had me sit in meditation as she told me to get a feel of my chakra as it passes to the various Tenketsu points.

I closed my eyes as I read on the pop-ups while I continue on my meditation.
After a few hours, my mother woke me from my meditation. "That's enough Shiro-kun, we still have to go through the other exercises" said my mother as she pointed to the huge tree in out backyard.
'Finally! Tree-walking!' I mentally thought as I paced hurriedly towards the huge oak tree as my mother follow from behind.

'Oh? I'm close to leveling up, nice.' I mused as I finish reading my status, just in time my mother arrived.
"Okay then, we'll proceed to the 2nd part of the training, Tree-walking" said my mother as she began to walk on the tree while explaining the concepts of how its done, the amount of chakra needed and the precision of the mind; until she stopped on the first branch high up.
"You understood? Shiro-kun?" said my mother as she finished her explanation.
"Woah.." I gaped as I watched my mother going down the tree the same pace as how she walked up.
"Now then, Shiro-kun.... your turn." said my mother with a hint of amusement as she watched me walk towards the tree.
I applied a moderate amount of chakra as I step on the tree. And then.... BOOOOM.
The part of which I stepped on the tree exploded.
"You used too much chakra Shiro-kun" advised my mother from a distance.
This is hard.....
I once again applied chakra to my feet but of the little amount this time, but then.. I slipped.... with my face planted on the trunk. My mother giggled as she once again advised me that I applied too little chakra.
Again!
...
I tried it again and again until I get the right amount of chakra exerted to my feet, and I had no more problems in slipping or exploding trunks as I walked to the branch my mother indicated before, then I sat on the branch as I checked on the pop-ups.

"Ah? my stength decreased?... Ah yeah (-_-).. the Nara clan perk" I mused out loud as I remember the Nara clan perk combined with me being unconscious for 3 days...
'Ah Troublesome.' I said while I scratching my head as I made my way down the tree all while assigning 4 to my DEX and 1 to my STR to accommodate my reaction time as to not bump on something as I use the Hiraishin in the near future.
And here's my new status.

"Good job Shiro-kun!" said my mother as she praised me. "Now, for the last part of your chakra control training." she continued as she walked above the knee-deep pond beside the oak tree.
"Water walking." I said as I watched her walk above the said pond.

Quest - Control Training FINAL (INCOMPLETE)
Your mother have deemed you ready for the last part of the chakra control exercise.
Reward - +800 EXP, Water walking (Active)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Correct, Shiro-kun" said my mother as she explains the similarity and differences of water walking to tree walking.
I learned the gist of it fast as it is quite similar to tree-walking until... my mother threw a sizable rock on the calm pond.
It was then I fell and got soaked in the pond water.
My mother then highlighted the difference between a calm body of water against a raging one as she continued to throw rocks to ruffle the calm pond. And boy it was quite hard to maintain the balance on an uneven surface.
I did a lot of repetitions until I got the popup.....
THANK GOD! KAMI!

"Good job Shiro-kun, it is end of our training." said my mother with a hint of pride in her expression.
"Ah troublesome..." I said as I look at my soaked clothes as my mother giggled at the look of my face all while we made our way back to the house.
