14 Training ground and chakra nature tes (2/2)
”Good, you both accepted” Hiruzen took a deep breath and puffed his pipe. ”Although I would like if you had more time, we are still at war and you two are some of the most important jonin in the village, so I can give you a month in the village to train you apprentices at most, before you are expected to be back on the frontlines”

”Hai! That is understandable hokage-sama, since time is scarce, I would like to begin as soon as possible” Sakumo turned his head towards me, before he continued speaking. ”Yoshio-kun, you look like you aren't too exhausted, as such, we will begin training in one hour at training ground five, I have to get some stuff first, so use this time to relax a bit, ja ne”
As soon as he was done talking, Sakumo left the training field in a spiral of leaves. 'I have heard many things from the villagers about him, but he behaves an awful lot like Kakashi did… minus being lazy and late…' ”Minato! I can't let you fall behind your brother, so we too will start our training in an hour, just meet me at the hot springs”
Soon all participants left the training field. Since it was the middle of the day by now, I decided to get some food, and therefore dragged Minato with me towards the Ichiraku ramen shop… Have I mentioned how good that stuff is yet? Fucking godly, it really was no wonder Naruto liked it so much, though it sometimes reminded me of my death in my original world.
After my quick meal, I was of towards training ground five, to meet with Sakumo for my first lesson. 'This place looks… shady at best, why would Sakumo pick this place as our meeting place?' Training ground five was one of the larger training grounds, only being smaller than the infamous training ground 44, known as the forest of death, as well as some of the clan owned ones…
”Yo!” 'HOLY MOTHER OF BULLSHIT!' I quickly turned around towards the sound, while I simultaneously released all the dust in my seal. 'He managed to sneak up on me, one of the best sensors in the village after Mito… that proves his strength. I don't recognize his chakra signature, so I better get ready for an all-out fight, if this goes south, I should find a way to contact Hiruzen, informing him of the breach, someone at this level is out of my league! Huh…'
”Chill, my cute apprentice, no need to go all defensive on me, but I guess this is good, I wanted to test what you would do, in the case of a surprise ambush by a stronger opponent, and your reaction was pretty quick, even though I managed to sneak up on you…”
'So, it was just Sakumo… damn, I hope this surprise thing continues, or I might have a heart attack' I breathed out, with a long sigh of relief. ”You seriously scared me Sakumo-sensei, by the way, what happened to this place?” I began to retract my dust back into the seal, as I looked around. 'This place looks like it just experienced a forest fire, an earthquake and possibly a flood… at the same time'
The trees around me were black, burned to a crisp and turned into charcoal, the earth was cracked multiple places, with many of the black trees knocked to the ground, furthermore, the cracks in the ground were filled with water, also creating many small lakes in the surroundings.
”It certainly is a new look, huh. Well it's fine anyway, we weren't going to do any hardcore training anyway, the main purpose was this” He pulled out what was obviously a chakra nature testing paper… ”Do you know what this is?” ”Hai sensei, that is chakra nature testing paper, which is used to test the elemental affinity of one's chakra. When said person channels some chakra into it, it will react by either; crumbling if it's earth, wrinkle if it's lightning, split in half if it's wind, burn if it's fire or get soggy if it's water…”
”Good, anything else?” ”It can do multiple at once, with the size of the sections affected, showing which has the higher affinity, and will sometime react differently if an elemental kekkei genkai is involved, such as my magnet release”
”Good, very good, now take this and channel some chakra into it, I don't have any idea what your magnet release will do, but let's try, so we can find out” I took the piece of paper from Sakumo's hand, and channeled some chakra into it, which lead to a reaction shortly after. Out of surprise from the intense and spontaneous reaction, I let got of the paper, only to be even more shocked…
'???' Both of us was looking at the paper, unable to fully comprehend the papers reaction… ”Is it supposed to do that sensei?” ”Probably not, I have never seen something like this before” We both kept our eyes on the paper, our brains having short-circuited, and when I finally overcame the shock, I only had one thought on my mind…
