Chapter 6: The Transformation of Chakra PropertiesSnap! Snap! Snap!Early in the morning, before even having breakfast, Baiyun Qingye was dragged by Baiyun Yeshan to start their morning exercise session.The two were in their own backyard, each holding a bamboo sword and exchanging blows.Although it was called an exchange of blows, Baiyun Qingye was the one initiating the attacks, while Baiyun Yeshan was constantly parrying them.Even though it was just bamboo swords, the sound of their collisions was quite loud. Baiyun Qingye did not hold back at all; each strike was swift, precise, and powerful, with both the angle and the force being impressive.After just a few dozen exchanges, a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on Baiyun Qingye's forehead.After all, he was just a child. If it weren't for the fact that the chakra within him was already comparable to that of most lower-level ninjas, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure so many exchanges.Baiyun Yeshan also showed a look of satisfaction while parrying; the speed of the strikes, the strength behind each swing, and the timing of the attacks all indicated that the boy had not slackened in his sword training during that time due to those girls.At the same time, Baiyun Yeshan could sense the incredible talent hidden within Baiyun Qingye.In the world of ninjas, the most direct indicator of a ninja's potential is the amount of chakra they possess. With a few exceptions, any famous ninja's chakra level is never weak.And Baiyun Qingye, at just five years old, already had a chakra volume that far surpasses that of his peers, which made him think of the legendary genius ninja, Kakashi Hatake.Both were young geniuses, proficient in swordsmanship... well, let's not go into that.After a few more exchanges, Baiyun Yeshan took a step back to increase the distance and signaled for Baiyun Qingye to stop attacking."Very good. It seems you haven't neglected your sword training during this time. Next, you can start combining your sword skills with your chakra."Baiyun Yeshan nodded in approval.Hearing this, Baiyun Qingye also showed an excited expression and asked, "Is that the technique where you can use your sword to release sword energy?""Ouch!"Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but cover his head in pain.Baiyun Yeshan pulled back his sword and said seriously, "In training, one should not aim too high. You must take things one step at a time. You think you can fly before you even know how to walk, do you?""I didn't know that, really."Baiyun Qingye rubbed the area on his head that had been struck.Seeing Baiyun Qingye's understanding demeanor, Baiyun Yeshan didn't scold him further and a smile flashed in his eyes.After putting the bamboo sword back in its place, he said, "I'll go prepare breakfast. You go wash up first."Although he mentioned preparing breakfast, Baiyun Yeshan didn't know how to cook. When he lived alone, he was always on missions or training, and his diet mainly consisted of rations. He would only visit his elder brother's house for a couple of days during holidays.The yard they were in was purchased by Baiyun Qingye's parents after they sacrificed their lives in a mission, to make it easier for him to be taken care of.So, by "preparing breakfast," he meant two buckets of ramen, along with some eggs, milk, and some fruit.It was simple, but it was nutritionally adequate.Baiyun Qingye didn't have any complaints about it; to be honest, he preferred instant noodles to a regular Japanese breakfast."By the way, don't go look for those girls for the next few days."At the dining table, Baiyun Yeshan put down his chopsticks and said seriously to Baiyun Qingye, "Why not?"Baiyun Qingye looked up from his bowl and asked instinctively.While organizing the dishes, Baiyun Yeshan continued, "The things you need to learn next are not easy.""I won't have much time to rest this time, so the schedule will be tight.""I think just a few days away from each other won't affect your relationship with your girlfriends, right?""…"Hearing Baiyun Yeshan's words, Baiyun Qingye was speechless. Why did he have to tease him at the end, after being so serious earlier?Baiyun Yeshan then put on a very serious face and asked, "Speaking of which, which one of Tian Tian, Ino, and Sakura do you like the most?"Baiyun Yeshan rarely showed curiosity, but since this was related to the future of the Baiyun family, he felt the need to ask.Baiyun Qingye was still a child and might not understand, but he needed to think of a way out for himself."I don't have such thoughts right now," Baiyun Qingye replied, chewing on his chopsticks. He couldn't just admit that he wanted them all."Then, who do you prefer to play with usually?" Baiyun Yeshan asked."I like to play with everyone," Baiyun Qingye answered without hesitation.He treated all three of them equally.Although Tian Tian got a bit more time with him because of a certain arrangement, he didn't show favoritism towards Ino or Sakura.As a commoner, he understood the importance of having more friends.All three of them would become important figures in Konoha in the future, but what surprised him was that their progress was a bit faster than expected."Really?" Baiyun Yeshan's gaze became complex, seemingly meaningful.Baiyun Qingye was confused, just as he was about to ask further, Baiyun Yeshan had already gone to the kitchen with the dishes, leaving behind these words, "Hurry up and eat. After that, you can rest before starting training!"Baiyun Yeshan himself was not particularly skilled in a variety of ninja techniques. There were only two skills that made him famous: Vacuum Sword and Konoha Instant Movement.Vacuum Sword involved attaching chakra to the sword and then using it to create powerful chakra blades for both attack and defense.Konoha Instant Movement allowed the user to transform into a leaf and drift through the air to avoid attacks.Since Konoha Instant Movement was more difficult to master, Baiyun Qingye would have to start with Vacuum Sword first.The first step in this technique was to attach chakra to the sword. It would be much easier if the sword were made of chakra-resistant material, but with an ordinary sword, it would be much more challenging.Therefore, before learning Vacuum Sword, he needed to master a technique similar to Wind搬运: Vacuum Blade."Qingye, your chakra attribute is wind, and wind is the perfect attribute for practicing Vacuum Sword," Baiyun Yeshan explained while they were in the backyard.Noticing Baiyun Qingye's puzzled expression, Baiyun Yeshan continued, "The most prominent property of the wind attribute is its cutting ability. Just like this—"Baiyun Yeshan casually picked up a branch from the ground, and with a "whoosh," the branch was encased in a pale blue chakra.Baiyun Qingye's eyes widened as he felt a sharpness from the branch.
