Finally some training

Yesterday Kara saw something amazing while spectating his dad take care of an enemy ninja. The enemy charged at Kara's dad, Seigi Aburame, but was welcomed by a swarm of kikaichu bug, no to be precise, a tornado of bugs. The enemy ninja seemed startled but didn't flinch because of it as he continued his march while drawing his katana sword. He probably thought that such petty bugs wouldn't stand a chance against a skilled armed man like him, boy was he any more wrong. When the swarm of kikaichu bug and enemy ninja about to collide, the latter quickly slice the bugs in front of him trying to make way and probably blast through it to the defenseless opponent ahead of him. What he failed to calculate however, the bug formation reformed almost instantly as the other kikaichu bugs nearby came in and fill the position left by the sliced bugs. The enemy knew his plan failed but he concluded that the bugs wouldn't be able to do him any harm, he knew that the bug could absorb chakra from him so all he has to do is shake himself and it should be alright. But upon contact with the swarm of bugs, the ninja knew he wrong. He felt a powerful force once he enters it. The bug attacked his body at great speed and almost immediately, the man was disintegrated. Hero flinched at this horrific sight but was also left in awe by how powerful this move is. Seigi cocked his head to look at Hero, his eyes hidden by his glasses and his face almost expressionless. "See that, son, ignorant was this guy's best friend. See where it lead you, don't be ignorant next time," said the man. Hero thought about it and decided that he would learn this move that he considered as "badass".

Today, Kara heads toward his dad with the intent of asking his dad to teach that jutsu to him in mind. Seigi chuckles at this and pat his son on the shoulder, "My room, third bookshelf, fourth layer, seventeenth book, green cover," said Hero's dad. Hero grins, "you never fail to impress me of your memory," said Kara as he head toward his dad's room.

Seigi is a bookworm and collect a lot of books varying from jutsu to novel. Whenever Kara, his son, asked him to teach a jutsu, he never did it directly. He always have Kara grab the book about it and train it himself. Kara was irritated by it at first but later got used to it. It's a rather odd way but also effective because it teaches Kara to be independent and sort out the difficult stuff by himself. After his jutsu completion, he's always welcomed home by his favorite meal.

Hero goes through the book, moving his fingers along it, mumbling numbers to himself to count toward the seventeenth book. He finally found a small book in green cover; Kara pulled the book out and the cover read "How To: Insect Tornado". The 16 years old Genin turn to the first page for graphic display and saw the exact same thing his dad made so he figured that it was that jutsu.

Kara walked out of his dad's room and smile to his dad showing him the book. He grabbed three apples that were on the dinning table's basket in which he put two in his pockets. Kara walked outside toward the training ground, one hand holding the book and another biting off the red apple.

Kara knows that it's going to be a long day, it's always a long day when trying to learn jutsu. Therefore, he begins to read the manual book in order to spare himself some time while traveling. Kara holds the apple with his thumb, index finger and middle finger do he can use the other two fingers to open the book's page. The first page was of course, the graphic display as he knew from opening it earlier. He turned to another page which appear to be the author's opinion. "Nobody cares," muttered Kara to himself as he bite off the apple again.

It is a hot day. Everybody could feel the scorching sun as if it's flame was beside them the whole time. Kara needs to walk through the market in order to reach the training ground and surprisingly for a hot day, there was quite a number of people. Most people are clothed lightly so they can endure the heat except for Kara himself who cover most of his body and some sort of scarf around his neck which he considers as "stylish". You can't blame him for covering his body though, children and women would scream at the sight of insects and said insects aren't fond of heat either. He never really understand why people are afraid of insect. Apparently, they see them as a horrifying and disgusting creature. Kara thinks differently but then again, he's an independent thinker.

Kara tilts his head up to watch his surrounding just in case something strange happen then turn back toward his book. He have turned another page and now he's on the handseal page. The picture shows two hand being vertically together with left thumb on top of the right, fist closed except for index and middle which are stretched. It appears to be the "ram" sign, confirmed by the caption underneath it as well. Hero nods to himself then turn to the next page. There he saw the description of the move. "Jutsu user sends a swarm of kikaichu toward enemy in a tornado shape which move at rapid speed. Upon making contact with the target, the target will be sucked toward the tornado and almost instantly will said target be disintegrated"."Awesome!" he muttered to himself. He wanted to take another bite of his apple but it appears that it's no more so he toss the remnant apple toward the bin which is situated about 5 meters from where he's at. Watching the apple going straight through the bin making a good sound, Hero is impressed by his arming skill and gave himself a pat on the back. He glanced forward and saw the training ground right in front of him, "alright, let's do this!" said Kara enthusiastically as he pumps his face smiling.

"I can't do this anymore," said Kara tiredly. He's making a ram hand seal (although tiredly so) and bugs are flying beside him. In front of him is a training dummy but he can't seem to make it works. Hero sat down and gesture to the bugs to return inside his body. He reached out to his pocket pulling out the manual book from earlier and the second apple as the bugs flew back toward him entering through his sleeves. He took a bite then started re-reading the book. The book said to focus his chakra toward his hand then order the bug to move in a spiral shape and high speed. However, he has to order tons of bugs to do this. That's one of the thing that he fail to accomplish. He couldn't communicate with all those bugs at once. Secondly, he can't get the the bugs to move rapidly in a sphere shape and at high speed. Sometime the bugs would move at high speed but forward or different shape. Sometime they would move in a sphere shape but rather slowly. And all of them are within a small group of bug, it couldn't do any much damage to the training dummy. Also, one other thing he noticed is that the motion didn't last long. Even in those failure, it would last for only a few seconds, at most half a minute which isn't good at all. He sighs. Or not. He grins and toss the book away. He takes a big bite off the apple and chew it staring into the afar. "Flutter into your dream, glitter into tomorrow!" said Kara. He started muttering to himself, "this is my first step to becoming the one to bring peace to the shinobi world! Slowly but gradually, I'm getting there. To my dream," said Kara as he stood up. He put down his apple, the bitten shape surrounding one part of the sun when looked from the side.  "Then again, I can't find my dad's book anymore, I accidentally tossed it into the wood! Fuck!"

Because of his attempt to look cool in which he tossed his dad's book away, he spent the next 10 minutes trying to find his dad's book - in vain. Guess he's going to get yelled at later.

Kara gave up and return to his training. He decided to take it step by step, controlling 10 bugs at a time. The Aburame teen begins to channel his chakra throughout his body and focus it on his hands which are clasped together in a Ram handseal. Then he spread that chakra on his hands toward the part of his body which the 10 kikaichu he planned to send out is at, thus feeding them more chakra. He communicated to the bugs through the telepathy and ordered them to fly out in a spiral motion with fast speed. It didn't turn out as planned but he saw some improvement now that he's not trying to do it all at once. The bugs flow at about half the speed that his dad's jutsu is. But for the first time, it moved at a fast speed and spiral motion at the same time. Also, the bugs last longer than it did. Hero called back the ten kikaichu and do the same thing again.

By the third attempt, Kara manage to maintain the tornado for a minute and have the bug move at a quick speed. He smiled to himself in satisfaction. Instead of adding 5 or 10 insects at a time, he decided to control 30 straight away. Hero did the same thing he did before, gather chakra then feed them to the selected insects. When he felt his chakra being absorbed from 30 different places on his body, he sends his order to those location knowing the the bugs are there. This time it's much harder as he felt the chakra being absorbed more, making him exhausted. Being tired make him lose control of the bug. As expected, the bug didn't move as he wanted but it was rather good thanks to the experience he got earlier from controlling 10 bugs. He called back those 10 bugs and sat down to rest his body a bit. Hero picked up the half eaten apple and take another bite at it. Sweat started to rush across his face as he breaths heavily. The hot weather is starting to take effect. This is the time when he wished he had brought some water. Luckily, he has his apple. He took a last bite on it and leave it on the ground because there isn't any trash bin nearby. Hero stood up and wipe his sweat, "Time for round two," said the genin.

Repeatedly, Kara do the same things, sometime tweaking it a little bit just in case he's doing something wrong. By the seventh attempt, he managed to do it but he felt completely exhausted. The sky is showing no mercy as the blazing sun started to burn on. Hero glances at the shade but waived the temptation. Even though he sucks at math, he knows that he only has one apple left which is reserved after the completion of the training. He tried to gather his strength, energy and chakra but nothing came through. No, one thing came through and that is an unwavering determination. Sure it might be a good idea to just put it off for another day, after all his stamina and chakra will recover by then. However, Hero refuses to do so. He wants to live every day like it was his last day, you never know what's gonna happen next, maybe someone will try to kill him tomorrow. Procrastination is an ignorant action and it will lead him nowhere not to mention changing the world.

He tries his best to recover his chakra and send it to 50 different bugs. He's ready for the last stage. First attempted ended in a failure. Same for the second. So does the third. Also fourth. Fifth. Sixth. Seventh. And the failure continues. Finally, at the eleventh attempt, he succeed. He watched as the training dummy flew off in different direction as it's split into pieces. Kara grins, his earring flashes due to the sunlight and then let his body fall backward toward the ground. The coulda our started to cover the the sun, it's already evening and he left home in the morning. All he have eaten was two apples. Surely, the next meal would be a big appetite for him. In a way, he felt frustrated that the cloud only cover the sun now. But also, he felt joyful that the cloud did actually cover the sun at all. He stares to the vast sky, his heart beating in joy. Hero reached to his pocket and take a bite at his last apple. He chewed and finally smile. "World, here I come," muttered Kara smiling.
