Chapter 4: Chapter 4: New Techniques.
On training ground 7 in Konoha, Natsumi and Shinju slowly walked towards the place in comfortable silence.
Deciding to break the silence, Shinju starts to talk to Natsumi.
"So, what are you gonna teach me first?"
Turning towards her, Shinu smiled as he noticed how happy she looked, and he started talking to her.
"Well, for starters, we are gonna learn tree walking, and then tomorrow we are gonna learn how to do the 3 starter ninjutsu"
Shinju smiled, but it could be felt and seen on his face how disappointed he was, he already learned water walking, but tree walking was not gonna help him much.
Soon, they both reach the training ground, once they reach it, Natsumi instructs Shinju to warm up, so he does not get injuries from his muscles being too stiff.
"Okay, first of all, concentrate your chakra on the soles of your feet, and then start spinning it so it makes a suction force"
Natsumi smiled, and in front of her was a tree, which she put her foot on, to Shinju's amazement, she started walking up the tree, looking like it was normal ground she was walking on.
"Now you give it a try, and remember, I am here so you won't fall"
Shinju nodded as he swallowed with slight nervousness, stepping forward, he gathered chakra at the soles of his feet and started spinning it before stepping on the tree trunk.
"I.. think I am doing it?"
Shinju said as he looked forward, and all he saw were the branches and leaves of the tree, Natsumi watched this in amazement.
"Wow! Did you manage to do it on the first try? When we tried first, you did it in a week"
Natsumi looked at Shinju in amazement, and she smiled as she saw this, even though she did not care if Shinju was not that strong, who wouldn't want a strong husband that you can rely on?
"Thanks, Natsumi, since I can do this on the first try, can I learn those 3 ninjutsu?"
Shinju said with hope as he jumped down from the tree, his legs enhanced with Chakra, Chakra enhancement still puts some strain on the muscles, so Shinju can't really use it in a fight unless it is a last resort.
But it has gotten better, since before he would break his muscles, while now he just gets strain and pain on his leg muscles, not a good thing, but better than snapping the muscles.
"Yes, but Shinju, You have to promise me that you won't push yourself, okay?"
Natsumi smiled as she leaned in closer to Shinju, her face looking up at him with a smile, but Shinju felt a slight shiver go down his spine at the look in her eyes, she was daring him to refuse.
"S-sure, I am injured after all"
Shinju smiled as he replied, rubbing his head since he had never been that close to a girl before, in his last time, all he did was get up and go to work, and then come home at 9 in the evening.
So as you might know, he did not have much time to do anything, even the weekends, or vacations he got were filled with him just doing his best to try to catch up on his missed work.
Yeah, a pretty shitty life...
"Alright! Now for the first ninjutsu, I will be teaching you, it is the easiest too, called the Clone technique"
Shinju nodded his head, and Natsumi smiled as she gathered her chakra, before doing a couple of hand signs for the ninjutsu, the next thing that happened, was that a shadow from the floor turned into Natsumi.
"This is a clone technique, usually it cannot touch since it is not real, but there are higher levels where it can act like a real body"
Natsumi explained to Shinju, who nodded.
"Now try to do the seals, while gathering your chakra, the seals will automatically make your chakra move in the correct pathways"
Shinju nodded, and then he gathered his chakra from his stomach, doing the first seal, it suddenly moved into one of his pathways, and it happened every time he did a seal.
Finally, when he finished the seals, his chakra went through the necessary paths, and he finished it.
Boom!
A shadow clone suddenly appeared next to Shinju, it was see-through, and wobbly, falling to the ground before vanishing into nothing.
"Haaa..."
Shinju sighed at the sight, but he was not unhappy as he just learned something new from his system.
[Ding! Learned ninjutsu, Clone technique (Active. Lv1) - creates a clone.]
"hahaha! Don't worry Shinju, it is better than before, you summoned a shoe on your first try in the academy"
Natsumi said with a smile, Shinju nodded, and he couldn't help but notice how she was trying to bring back his memories by telling him about his younger self.
"Now, just practice that, and you are set, but first, I am going to teach you the substitute technique as well, and this one is important!"
Natsumi explained with a serious face, Shinju also became serious and started listening, he did not know how many times even someone like Kakashi was saved by that simple E-rank Justu.
It can be seen how useful and strong that technique is, though it is not real space ninjutsu, it involves a tactical worth, confusing your opponents and then striking from behind.
Natsumi started doing hand signs, and then with speed, she swapped out her body with a tree trunk, the Swapped object had to be a similar weight to one's body to work.
'This technique is crazy... imagine if you could swap place with something like air'
Shinju smirked at the thought before he did the seals, and using all his speed, he swapped it out with a tree trunk.
The ninjutsu itself is not hard, but it has a requirement to even use it, you need an object to swap with, and it has to be at least half your body weight.
So it is not used by many since it is seen as a weak and useless jutsu, except it is not.
[Ding! Learned Ninjutsu, Substitute Technique (Active - Lv1) - Swap with things.]
Looking at the Tree trunk he swapped with, he noticed that it was just a normal tree trunk, which means he did it correctly.
"Good job, when you first tried to do this in the academy, you took my bra off!"
Natsumi smiled as she said that, cupping her cheek with a small blush, Shinju looked at her and sweat slid down his face at what he had just heard, no wonder these 2 got together.
"Okay..."
