Chapter 3 – The First Lesson

Anger wasn't enough.

If I wanted to stop being an insignificant piece of shit, I needed more. I needed strength, power, something that would make me impossible to ignore.

But no one was going to give me that.

So fuck them. I was going to learn on my own.

My body was weak. My legs were thin.

My arms were useless. Just thinking that the Hyuuga could crush me with a well-placed slap made me sick.

So fuck that. I was going to get strong.

Training the Body and Chakra

I started with the basics.

Push-ups until my arms felt like jelly.

Squats until I almost fell on my ass.

Running until my lungs begged for air.

It hurt like hell.

But every time my body cried out for mercy, I forced myself to keep going. I refused to be weak.

And over time… I started to enjoy the pain.

Climbing trees without hands was easy. Running on walls? Easy.

Now, hanging from the ceiling with just your feet while doing inverted push-ups?

That was how I liked to train.

The Rasengan and the Hyuuga

The Rasengan...

I remembered it.

I saw it in the anime, right? Minato used it, and it was considered one of the most powerful jutsus.

At the time I thought: "Okay, easy."

If the Hyuuga really wanted to, they could master it in minutes. With the Byakugan, they could already control their chakra perfectly. They could create a Rasengan in each of their tenketsus and throw the damn things like chakra blasts.

But they don't do that. They prefer to punch with the "gentle touch." Stupid bastards.

No, I wasn't going to waste my time with that.

I started training the Rasengan my way.

I went straight to the water balloon. In my head, it was simple: just spin the chakra in both directions at the same time. I had two whirlwinds in my hair, so this shouldn't be difficult.

On the first try, it exploded in my face.

On the second, the same thing.

But on the twentieth... it grew. It made a noise as the water moved. The pressure made the balloon explode, and I smiled. It was my first victory.

Training Super Strength

Tsunade... I remember her from the anime.

She could crush anything with one finger, which was ridiculous. And I was determined to do the same thing.

I wanted that strength.

So I started training. It wasn't just about punching a wall until my hands bled. I had to control the chakra at the exact moment of impact.

First, simple punches, but without much control. I felt like I was punching rocks. Nothing interesting.

But then, I started concentrating chakra in my hand at the last second. Like Tsunade did. In the anime, she hit her enemies with this technique that caused insane pressure.

So, I tried. Accumulating chakra, releasing it at the right moment. On impact, the tree I was punching cracked like glass.

I laughed, because, yes, I was on the right track.

Now, it wasn't just strength. It was knowing where and when to release chakra perfectly.

Nature Transformation and the Threads

My head started working again. The Rasengan... It was just chakra spinning, right? If I could control chakra, I could manipulate it with other elements too.

First, I tried with the wind. I picked up a leaf and concentrated chakra. The wind cut it, and it fell to the ground.

Fire? Nothing new.

Lightning? That was interesting. The chakra made the leaf glow, as if it had been struck by lightning.

And then, the idea came to me. What if I took the chakra threads and made something new with them?

I remembered the Suna puppets. Those guys were awesome. They manipulated those chakra threads with precision, controlling the puppets as if they were alive.

I could use this idea to improve the Rasengan and make everything more explosive.

But before that, I first needed to perfect the threads. And when I finally managed to control a chakra thread, it was like opening a door.

Now I just had to keep going.

Creating Something New

I was already going too far with this, but what if…

What if I took the idea of the Rasengan and made it with elemental threads?

I created a thread of wind.

I made it cut down a tree in seconds. I knew that this was just the beginning.

And with that, something else emerged.

If I could combine the Rasengan with my threads and my nature transformation…

I could create a new technique, something never seen before.

The Rasengan, at its core, was basically a bunch of chakra threads spinning at high speed. And if it could have several variations, I could do the same with the chakra threads.

A few weeks of incessant training passed.

When I finally managed to tame enough chakra to use the threads, I decided to start exploring further. The Rasengan was almost perfect, but now I wanted something more, something unique.

First, I created threads of wind, like the one I had done before with the nature transformation. The cut leaf was just the beginning.

Then, I set one of them on fire. The flaming threads danced, burning the leaves with a precision that left me impressed.I was starting to understand how the elements could intertwine with the threads.

Then I used lightning. The threads of electricity passed through the branches quickly. The chakra threads weren't just for manipulating puppets. They could be used for absolutely everything.

And lastly, I tried the water threads. Controlling them was difficult at first, but the idea of being able to generate jutsus like the ones I saw in Suna was exciting. Threads of water, shaking with the force of chakra, were able to control the surrounding environment.

It was perfect training. The flexibility of each element in the threads, the control of nature transformation with physical manipulation and precision. I finally understood how it all connected.

The Rasengan, at its core, was basically a bunch of chakra threads spinning at high speed. And if it could have several variations, I could do the same with the chakra threads. Now, my chakra threads could have any shape and function.

And I was just getting started
