ASFUCITWON Chapter 13: Practicing Running on Water
🕑 Added 2024-11-02 11:20:28 +0000 UTCThe evening was approaching, and the sun began to set, creating a golden reflection on the surface of the lake.
Finally, after hours of practice, Reiji felt quite satisfied.
With a heart full of enthusiasm and the small successes he had achieved, Reiji decided to return home.
Where Reiji felt closer to his goal of regaining powers equivalent to those from his previous life.

On the fourth day since the holiday began, Reiji was once again waiting for the arrival of the two little girls, Karina and Kushina, in front of the house.
The three of them had spent time together yesterday, but this time Reiji had a different plan.
After they arrived, Reiji carefully asked Karina to watch the house while he would go practice something very challenging: running on water.
Karina, though not pleased and looking hesitant, eventually gave in to Reiji's determination.
Karina then nodded, albeit a bit worried, and let Reiji go.
Reiji smiled gratefully before finally setting off towards the lake.
Upon reaching the lake, Reiji took a deep breath of fresh air and gazed at the calm water's surface.
This was not Reiji's first time trying to walk on water in this world, but he knew this challenge would be more difficult.
Step by step, Reiji began to tread on the water's surface, trying to maintain his balance to avoid sinking, though he often fell and ended up failing.
Hours passed in full concentration, until finally, Reiji was able to walk smoothly on the water's surface.
However, Reiji then realized that running on water was far more difficult than he had imagined.
As Reiji started to run, each step he took created small waves that shook the water's surface, testing his balance each time.
Yet, with an ever-stronger determination, Reiji did not stop trying.
Reiji fell, got back up, and tried again—over and over, until his body and mind merged with the tranquility of the lake's water.
After hours of practice, Reiji managed to reach a point where he could run on water steadily.
With full confidence, Reiji then decided to attempt a more challenging move: walking on water using both hands.
Unexpectedly, this felt easier for Reiji, making him chuckle softly.
Feeling a significant progress, Reiji decided to increase his challenge.
He then moved to a waterfall in Uzushio Village, where the current was strong and turbulent.
Overcoming this waterfall would be the pinnacle of Reiji's training that day.
Reiji stared at the rushing current flowing from the top of the waterfall, then prepared to step forward to climb the waterfall.
The first step nearly swept Reiji away in the current, but he did not give up.
The strong current and the powerful pressure of the water pushed Reiji back down repeatedly.
Each time Reiji fell, it became a lesson; he learned to manage his balance, use energy more wisely, and refine his steps to counter the rushing water.
With unwavering determination, Reiji got up every time he fell and continued to step forward.
Finally, after numerous attempts, Reiji was able to walk up the waterfall.
The next challenge was to run up the waterfall's current.
With steady breaths and full focus, Reiji began to take faster steps, the current that once seemed insurmountable now became a foothold for him.
In one final surge, Reiji proudly reached the top of the waterfall.
That day, Reiji succeeded in surpassing his own limits, opening up opportunities for new challenges in the days to come.

On the fifth day since Reiji's holiday, he decided to change the focus of his training.
After spending the previous day on physical training, Reiji now concentrated on the art of Fuinjutsu, particularly the creation of Explosive Tags.
