They're working perfectly. The future has simply been changed so drastically that her few Strings cannot save her. Nor can Second arrive in time. So the question is what you will do.

@Legend Begins

Easy.

*you are ejected form the base by an unseen force, and I appear beside you, tendrils of pure energy wrapping around your wrists and joints, preventing any movement*

Prevent you from making my job more difficult.

*walks back toward the base*

*After a few days of this, the leaf falling and starting over repeatedly with little sleep allowed in between days, you begin to develop the feeling of slight control of the sensation and your focus improves slightly*

@The World

I think this training is beginning to click.

*Pulls a String of Fate from my sleeve and attaches it to the energy tendrils, allowing me to shatter them and return to the base*
Now now, that's not so nice.

@Legend Begins

*a barrier prevents you from doing so*

@Nimda

Good! Then we're about ready to begin the second step. There's a bit of learning to do so we'll repeat it as we go through your next step. By moving your hands in certain ways, you can better control your chakra and manipulate it into doing certain things. For example...
*My hands flash together quickly, too fast to see more than a blur and I take a breath before breathing out fire away from you*
That's a pretty simply technique, generally referred to as "jutsu" when talking about chakra based techniques, specifically the "fireball jutsu." I'm going to be teaching you the various hand signs as we do your control training. If you're confident, we can move on to the next level of control training, or we can continue with the leaf if you'd rather keep things low-key as you're learning the signs.

@souleaterfan320

*Attaches four Strings between the barrier and myself, allowing me to pass through it*
You wish to doom yourself.

No. I wish to save exitence, Conqueror.

Have some faith in me. I'd love to work on higher level techniques.

@souleaterfan320

Then give the child a chance to live.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

He's The Conqueror! He's trying to take over the System!

@Legend

*Attaches twenty five Strings of Fate to your forehead and places another twenty six in your left hand, curling your fingers around them*
As I promised.

Jack: It's a bit cliche, but it's effective to meditate under a waterfall. The steady but slightly unpredictable force helps aid in clearing the mind. Your goal is to achieve a state of complete emptiness in your mind, where you're essentially running purely on instinct with no actual thoughts, per se, and then to become able to enter that state quickly and repetitively. That state can be useful in progressing your training. That goes for all three of you.

@The World

Suzy: *Just after you finish talking I take off sprinting to the waterfall, throwing my jacket off to reveal a swimsuit of the same co underneath.*
Samantha: I hope you have some changing rooms available, because as far as I know she's the only one who's ready to do that in an instant. *Gives a look to Salvador.*
Salvador: *Grumbles and rolls my eyes before going to pick up the jacket.*

@Nimda

Alrighty! In that case, let's give you some self-study. *Hands you a leaflet* While some jutsus normally require a multitude of hand seals, proficiency with the jutsu can lessen the number you need, potentially all the way to not needing any. For example, one jutsu requires forty-four hand seals, but a master can use it with only the final hand seal in the chain, and I personally could use it without any, though this is slightly more draining than using even a single seal.
*Hands you a knife that's very sharp on both sides* You'll be using this for your next step. Your goal is to climb that tree without using your hands. *Points to a tree that's several kilometers high with no branches below the top* Every time you get to the apex of your climb, before you fall down, make a cut on the tree. That way you can measure your progress. Obviously, the secret to this training is to gain control of your chakra to the point you can fill your feet with it and use it to stick to the surface of the tree.

I see. How would you prefer I begin?

@Stabby

Jack: Sure thing, but there's no need to change out of your clothes, we could simply dry them quickly when you finish, but the door to your left... *Points towards the door where the exercise machines are* will lead you to some changing rooms which will have all manner of sizes of all manner of clothing, including swimsuits.

Just start running up the tree until you get it, basically.

Alright. Let me...
*Sprints at the tree, running a few steps upward before wrapping my legs around the trunk to hold me in place, and cuts a notch into it*

Salvador: *Grumbles again and walks off, jacket in hand.
Samantha: Thank you for the offer, but we prefer to keep our clothes from getting wet in the first place. *Walks off and after a few moments later both of them come back and join suzy under the waterfall in their own swimwear.*

@Nimda

*Over the course of several days, with rest as needed and to study the hand signs, you begin to improve your natural ability slightly and eventually your control of the sensation becomes enough to climb halfway up the tree*
