She did too as not more than a day ter I met this tutor after ing home from the academy for the day.

  "I'm home!" I called as i walked into the house and took my shoes off to not track dirt in.

  "We are in the dining room!" My mom called bad I set off down the hallway towards the dining room.

  Our house wasn't very big in truth as we only had about two thousand square feet of space split between six rooms of medium to small size. Most of our property was actually empty nd or beast residence where we kept my chakra beasts sihey 't all fit in my room(believe me I tried). They didn't mind though since most of them were used to it by now and the only ones in the house were the smaller sort like my cat and snake.-

  I wasn't surprised when I walked around the er and saw that there was someone new sitting at the table drinking from a jug of sake. It was a woman in a loose set of standard issue ninja garb with short bck hair and a long bde sheathed at her waist. Just as I was her she was also me.

  "Ho! Looks like this gig might not be b after all." she said with an amused smirk breaking the silence.

  "Kenzo Mizuyama." I introduced myself but didn't take my eyes off the woman as I sat down at the table.

  "Mito Tokugama, your mom here asked me to teach you chakra flow but you don't seem the sort to use a bde. Care to expin?" Mito asked after introdug herself and expining why she was here.

  "Have you met Re?" I asked not answering her directly.

  "I 't say as I have, why?" she asked curiously.

  I poio the sandy yard outside the open door o the dining room. "Ren e!" I anded and the ground began to ripple as Ren unburied itself and marched over to the door.

  Mito had her right hand gripped around the handle of her bde with a serious look when Ren appeared. I ighat and rubbed ren up on his hard green carapace just behind his eyes where he liked it. It ot his feet couldn't reach so he often got sand stuck there that irritated him a bit.

  "Awfully dangerous pet you got there kid but sidering what your dads from 't say as it's all that strange. Whats it got to do with you learning chakra flow though?" Mito asked while rexing once she was sure that Ren wasn't a threat. That didn't mean she didn't keep a close eye on it though in case it suddenly turned hostile.

  "I am trying to copy these with my hands but obviously my hands aren't desigo tear through things the same way which was why I was using chakra to fill the gap. My mom told me that the actual teique I was trying to create already existed in the form of chakra flow which leads us to this point." I expined calmly while holding up Rens pihat were the size of a diter and razed with curved dagger like tips.

  "So let me get this straight, you are trying to learn how to use chakra flow to copy your scorpions cws?" Mito asked with an odd expression.

  I nodded seriously "I make my chakra flow along my fingers but I 't figure out how to stop it from cutting me as well as whatever I grab. It's quite frustrating." I said like that whole statement wasn't the most ihing ever.

  "Is he seriht now?" Mito asked my mom who nodded helplessly.

  "If your mom is half as petent as she seems she has likely told you that chakra flow is designed for bdes. What she hasn't told you is probably WHY that is. By it's nature the teique is entirely geared towards destru and as a result causes damage to whatever it is applied to hehe need for a hard durable material like a metal bde. What you sound like you are attempting to aplish is instead pointing that destructive for only a single dire and thus allowing you to safely use it with your bare hands." Mito said seriously.

  I hat makes sense, so how do I do that then?" I asked curiously.

  "Before that though you show me how far you have gotten on using chakra flow so I have an idea where to start. Use a kunai." She said not answering my question but since her request made sense I pulled out a kunai and eled my chakra along it's edge as tightly and sharply as I could.

  There was a nearly audible humming sound as I did so and Mito's eyes widened in astonishment before she pulled out one of her hairs and tossed it at the kunai where it lit apart on tact.

  "Where oh did you find this little monster Mitami? His chakra flow is eveer than mine!" she said in shock.

  I frowned "Really? I thought it was supposed to be brighter and louder?" I said fused sihat was how my mom described the teique.

  "Quite the opposite in truth. Wheeique is first learnt it is highly visible and loud because the level of chakra and chakra trol o use it well is extremely high and most learning the teique only have the chakra but not the trol to minimize the edge created. At it's highest level the amount of chakra needed is miniscule but the trol o hold the edge at that small a size is monstrous. This is why true masters of the teique are nearly impossible to notice when they are using it as the edge is nearly microscopid thus invisible." she expined seriously.

  "So I haven't mastered it then? Disappointing." I said unhappily.

  "Oi Oi! Don't act like mastering this is supposed to be easy you little brat! It usually takes decades to get where you are for a normal talented samurai. Freakish talent aside you clearly have extremely tight trol over your chakra for whatever reason so you should be able to leareique that would allow you to create an edge without cutting yourself, chakra yering." she said more than a little irritated.

  "Chakra yering? I am not familiar with this term, expin." I said curious.

  "It's not surprising you haven't heard of it. Chakra yering is an advanced form of chakra manipution that involves separating the chakra used in a teique in different yers. Most extremely high end jutsu's use it when molding the chakra internally which is why the number of hand signs need for them tends to get rather ridiculous if you don't know how to yer your chakra manually." she said seriously.

  She then held out her hand and the familiar glow of blue chakra maed above her palm. To my astonishment however it began to form a swirl yet if you looked closer the chakra underh the swirl was pletely still. Mito was sweating heavily while focused on her palm entirely before retrag her chakra and panting in exhaustion.
