Chapter 4: Chapter 3. Training and more training.
Seeing a character who hours ago was only that, a fictional character, in front of you is an experience Sora would describe as strange. Not only that, but this was the most important character of the whole series.
Stopping in his tracks but not looking in the direction Naruto was going, he started to search around, looking for someone through his chakra sense.
Soon enough, he found who he was looking for, 'Sure enough, there's an anbu following him around. That's to be expected, Hiruzen wouldn't let the nine-tail Jinchuuriki move around without supervision. The Kyuubi massacre hit them hard.'
He also noted how the anbu's chakra reserve was lower than the yellow-haired kid's, 'No surprise there either, Naruto is in a league of his own.'
After confirming his assumptions, Sora decided that he had enough sightseeing for the day and ended his walk there.
Meeting the main character was a funny coincidence, but interacting with him out of the blue would put doubts all over him, so the best course of action is to ignore him for the moment.
Thinking about the best course of action right now, Sora remembered some details, 'Chakra is a mix of Physical and Spiritual energy. Therefore, I should improve both of them to increase my chakra reserves. Let's start with doing some simple training, running should do for now.'
Taking action immediately, he recalled the memories the body he possessed had. Through them, he was able to find a small forest relatively close by.
Reaching the forest took him 5 minutes of moderate walking. Arriving there, he started warming up his body in preparation for the exercise he would do.
After finishing that, he started to run around the forest, maintaining a moderate pace. 'Zone 2 Cardio will do for the first session. Let's aim for 40 minutes.' As he decided the amount of time he would run, he realized a slight problem, 'Wait, how am I supposed to tell how long has passed? Hmm, I guess there's a simple way.'
He checked that there were no ninja in a nearby range through his chakra sense. Upon confirming there was no ninja close by, he used The Visionary.
'It's the part of a watch that counts the time, without a strap. Its properties are that it sticks to human skin easily and doesn't fall off. It can be removed by the conscious order of the user. Its chakra signature can only be felt within a range of 10 meters, and it bends light in such a way that most people can't see it. Done.'
With his new watch attached to his arm, he was able to time his run. And after 40 minutes, he finished the session.
Dismissing the watch, Sora analyzed his current state while walking around to cool down, 'It seems that this body is able to run for 40 minutes properly. Although I do feel considerably fatigued, it's not a surprise considering that it's the first session. Not bad, people in this world seem to be stronger than in my past world. Is it the wonders of chakra? Or are they just built this way?'
Leaving his speculations on the air, Sora walked back home. Upon arriving, he went to take a shower.
Being done with the shower, he grabbed a banana from the kitchen and ate it, replenishing his energies after exercise.
Sitting on the floor, he had a certain idea, 'Why not try boosting my body? Let's see.' Imagining himself to be strong enough to lift 60kg of weight, he also created a rock that weighed exactly that. 'The boost cost me around 70 percent of my chakra, and the rock only 20 percent.'
Trying to lift the rock over his head with one hand, he was satisfied to see that it worked. 'Good, it worked. Although it is only a temporary boost, this could come in handy sometime. I'll also have to explore how to make permanent boosts in the future.'
Dismissing the strength boost and the rock, he tried to boost his speed and reaction time. Dropping a stick he made, he tried to catch it as fast as he could.
'I used 50 percent of my chakra in this boost, and my speed and reflexes doubled. These results are satisfactory for now.'
Dismissing both, he had the urge to try something different. He opened his left hand, and a flame appeared on top of it.
'Fire manipulation, huh? This sure feels great to use.' With a smile visible on his face, he started to manipulate the fire. He changed its shape and moved it around a little bit.
As manipulating an element could be potentially dangerous, he also made a glove that wasn't flammable for this test. It was safe to say that Sora's excitement increased the more he tested his powers. At the moment, he felt like a child with a new toy. One with world-destroying capabilities, that is.
He cancelled the flame and the glove. This time, he went with a water ball. As water was way safer, he didn't need the glove for it. Doing the same thing he did with the fire, he changed its shape and moved it around his arm. He expanded the mass of the water and surrounded his hand with it.
Observing how the water moved, there was a glint of cheerfulness in his eyes: 'Heh, playing around with this is kind of fun, especially the smoothness it flows with. The Visionary is indeed worthy of its reputation. Without having to bother with training, my manipulation skills are broken. Though, I still have to train my effectiveness at using it if I don't want to end up like Gremmy.'
Wanting to try something more complicated, he willed the water to condense into the form of a spear. Grabbing the spear, he rotated and made a few stabs in the air with it. Nodding to himself, he dismissed the water.
Getting into a meditation position, he used the chakra recovery technique. While filling his reserves, he pondered what else he could do besides train: 'Well, besides this, I would also need a new income resource. The problem of money could be solved by manipulating people with the use of The Visionary. Mmm, yeah, let's go with that, I can't be bothered to get a job or start some business. I only have 5 years till the Fourth Shinobi World War, at least if things don't deviate too much to change that.'
The challenge that the time limit poses makes him unable to waste time on useless matters; therefore, training is a priority right now. To be able to get to a satisfying level of strength, Sora decided to employ the great cheating capabilities of Great Sage to the fullest. 'Great Sage, run an analysis on ways to train for the following month and provide me with the results as soon as you are finished.'
{Understood. Starting analysis}
As soon as he was done with his recovery, the results of his request were finished.
{It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the facets that 'The Visionary' has. Utilizing every use imaginable. Through this routine, your grasp on it should be proficient enough to be used in combat}
Nodding to himself, he agreed with the results, 'Thanks Great Sage. Now, I guess it's time for a training arc. One month till the start of Canon, let's do it.'
With this declaration, Sora began his new daily training routine. That day he kept on training with summoning objects, manipulating elements, and creating different life forms.
The next day, he woke up as soon as the sun rose. After eating his breakfast, he went to a park to do his running exercise. After finishing a 60-minute run, he would start doing calisthenics.
When he comes back to his house, he begins training the same way he did the first day, for around 4 hours. With Great's Sage analytical prowess, he is able to choose the applications that are most useful for combat while discarding those that aren't practical for it. Then, he eats lunch.
After eating, he explores the village while concealing his chakra to avoid detection. The objective of this exploration is to map out the whole of Konoha in case he needs it in the future. He also casts a perception displacement on himself to not draw any attention whatsoever.
Finishing his reconnaissance venture. He goes back home and continues grinding.
After dinner, at the last hour of the day, he also trains with Telos Karma, combining it with the probabilities that Great Sage's calculations provided him with, 'Training with Telos Karma is a must. The Visionary effects aren't permanent in nature. And while I could make it so that Great Sage maintains those effects, the fact that they need a constant supply of my chakra makes it impractical.'
For the following month, he continued to do this routine. Although the repetitive nature of his training could seem like something that a person without discipline wouldn't be able to handle, the fun he experienced outshone the tediousness of repeating the same thing day after day. This could be observed with the faces he made when he was using his powers, 'Being able to follow my will as I want to and not being constrained by my own body or by society's restrictions is something amazing. In this life, I will not be limited by anyone. Completely free, that is my way.'
Finally, when 31 days passed, he stopped his training an hour before night fell. This was the day that Naruto learned the truth about his origins, and Sora wasn't going to miss such an important event.
