Chapter 5: Сhapter 5
The library at the Shinobi Academy was a small annex, which any active Shinobi or a student of the academy could get into. The entrance to this abode of knowledge was closed to ordinary people… Although there was nothing for them to do there. Actually, like the absolute majority of Shinobi that have already taken place. Only genins occasionally appeared in the walls of a small library, still hoping to find something useful there for themselves…
In many ways, the hopes of such genins were in vain. The library at the Shinobi Academy, although it was not a public place, but there was nothing really valuable on the shelves of this institution. Some basic things were described in local scrolls and books, of course. Yes, and a couple of dozen of the simplest techniques are definitely lying around here… But no serious, or even more valuable, information could be found in this library.
Which, to be honest, didn't upset me a bit. I will study techniques sometime in the future. Now I wanted to deal with my own chakra and those seals with which other Shinobi use their chakra to create all kinds of techniques.… In general, yes, I wanted to thoroughly understand the most basic things related to the chakra. And, fortunately for me, it was this information that was mostly stored in the library at the Shinobi Academy.
Even on the first day I found for myself almost three dozen books and scrolls on the theory of the chakra, there were also plenty of books on the use, combinations and varieties of seals. Yes, there were even some medical manuals, which just explained the relationship between chakra and simple flesh… And I was going to study all this properly before climbing with my crooked little hands to my own chakra. I really didn't want to hurt myself, despite the fact that I had already managed to appreciate the amazing regeneration and endurance of this taurus…
In general, yes, I did not rush to master the chakra. Instead, I had enough patience, and I will need it because it was almost physically hard for me to sit in one place. I wanted to move, run, jump, yell at the top of my voice. And I couldn't do anything about it, which is why my education in libraries was not moving at the fastest pace. Even after spinning around in the whole book, focusing all my attention on the information I was interested in, at some point I still realized that everything… My time is up, and if I don't run around the village right now, I'll definitely go crazy.
There is little pleasant in such attacks of hyperactivity. And in general, it was very difficult for me to maintain the proper level of concentration while reading, even though the information itself interested me terribly. And how my blood boiled when I was just starting to think about the prospects of using the chakra… I wanted to give up everything right now and start trying to feel my chakra.
To my grief, I decided to start with the ways to feel my own chakra. Because there were enough manuals on this subject, and my interest in this topic did not cause the same librarian unnecessary questions… And even the fact that the most effective and fastest way to feel my chakra was not available to me worried me a little. Well, I don't have any Shinobi friends who would drive their chakra to my body so that I could catch and feel the desired energy in my own body.
As an elderly librarian explained to me, who frankly didn't care about my reputation as a fox demon and just a horror in the flesh, several healers will have to visit us in the third year of the academy to help us feel our own chakra. By that age, most of the borderless guys will be just strong enough to be able to somehow use the chakra ... Well, at least that's what the librarian explained to me, whom I literally inundated with questions on this topic, realizing that the old man was not against talking to me.
And yes, I called this man an old man rather in jest. Tom is not even fifty yet, but due to the absence of his left arm and, most likely, other not very pleasant wounds, he looked much older than his age. Although forty years among Shinobi is also already a very, very respectable age. Such shots, as a rule, managed to survive two or three Shinobi world wars and even more minor conflicts. So yes, a forty-year-old Shinobi is already a real fucking pensioner... With a ruined health due to stimulants and drugs. I am already silent about the numerous wounds in general…
The fate of local elite killers looks too sad. Too rarely do they live to old age, and if they do, then they certainly do not shine by that time. If I had a choice, I might have given up all this chakra and super powers altogether, preferring a calm and measured life… But I have no choice. I am jinchuriki, and my parents are not the simplest. So if something happens, I may simply not be left with a choice – either I become a shinobi, or death and the fox is reprinted in another medium.
Yeah, if you think about it, I don't have that many options. But it doesn't scare me too much, look, the canonical Naruto somehow coped with all this, so why can't I do the same or even better… The question is, of course, purely rhetorical. I will not answer it, especially since the answer is already obvious. It's not just that I'm raping unprepared brains here, like a sponge, absorbing more and more information on the chakra, seals and physiology of local mutants that call themselves Shinobi.
And I myself, of course, wanted to touch something mystical, magical and so ordinary in this world.… I wanted to become a shinobi. Even if not in the full sense of the word, because working as an assassin does not really appeal to me, but I was not even against curbing my own strength and developing it to the maximum possible. Although it still remained something amazing and distant for me. I have not yet fully got used to this world, my new body and the fact that this body in the near future will most likely be able to do crazy and impossible things for me in the past…
Well, that's unless, of course, I finally go crazy on the basis of the energy raging in my body and I can continue to force myself to gnaw the granite of science. With this, by the way, everything was not so bad, because despite the new language and writing for myself, I read not so bad. And the books and scrolls that came into my hands were, for the most part, simple manuals with a minimum of unnecessary information. So I studied all this at a really rapid pace, even though I really lacked perseverance…
This was especially acutely felt while reading medical pamphlets and abstruse treatises on the theory of the chakra. At the same time, if the first ones were of very good use, even if I sometimes had to contact a librarian to help me deal with some particularly abstruse words, then here are treatises on the theory of the chakra ... Initially, I really wanted to get acquainted with this section in the library, but in practice this section was the least interesting.
For any scrolls and books on this topic, as a rule, were reduced to the banal - the Chakra consists of physical and mental energy, it is formed from these energies in the center of the chakra and flows through the channels of the chakra. The chakra can leave the body only through the tanketsu, of which there are more than three hundred, and in some individuals it exceeds five hundred, but there are only sixty-four main points. It is with the help of these sixty-four tanketsu Shinobi that most of their techniques are used…
Well, that's if you sum up a brief squeeze of a few days of reading. So, all these treatises on the theory of the chakra, unlike the methods and pamphlets that I already loved, were too vague. The authors were often drawn to frank philosophy, and I was not always able to grasp the main idea of the text I read. Well, or at least not right away... which is why at some point I decided to focus my attention on much simpler and clearer things.
So, two weeks after my first visit to the library, I already had some plan for how I could feel my own chakra. Because I don't want to wait for the third year of study in any way, and the desire to "touch the miracle" does not even allow me to sleep normally. More and more often at night, instead of sleeping, I think about my future possibilities and the future itself ... And I, by the way, am a young organism, I can't break my sleep regime. So something really had to be done about it.
Well, or at least try to do something. For example, try to feel your own chakra…
