Much apologies but here is the new chapter!
Childhood: More Training
A wet and irritated Kakashi stood on the banks of the large Hatake koi pond. Standing 20 feet away, on top of the water, was a bored and dry Kagome, reading a book.
"Oh Jiraiya...You write...terrible." she muttered under her breath, totally ignoring the steaming Kakashi. "I like Naruto, but the writing style sucks...I should edit it..."
"Kagome, help me out!" Kakashi yelled, frustrated with the lack of help he was receiving from his tutor.
Kagome looked up from her book, her ears twitching as she stared at Kakashi's slouched posture. "Show me."
Focusing his chakra, Kakashi took a couple steps out on the water before he fell knee deep in water.
He growled in frustration as Kagome continued to observe him. He was moving less and no where closer to Kagome, who was standing in the middle of the pond.
"Kakashi, what are you trying to do?" Kagome asked.
"I'm trying to walk on water."
"What is water?" She continued, probbing him to find his own answer.
"'What is water'? Is that all you-" Kakashi stopped, glancing at the water surrounding him. He knelt down, scooping up some water in his hands. The water slipped from his fingers, trailing down his arm and dropping into the water, causing ripples.
"Water is a easily moved living source. You can't expect it to follow you if you don't adjust to it. Instead of asking the water to form to you, you have to form to water," Kagome lectured as Kakashi absently nodded his head and moved out of the water.
So I have to send a constant stream of chakra to the bottom of my feet and move with the water instead of just placing a layer of chakra on it.
Kakashi let out a deep breath before he took his first step onto the water.
Despite feeling like he was stepping on jello, he focused on letting his chakra move with the flow of the water he was disrupting. He hesitantly took another step, feeling unbalanced until his foot came down.
As he came closer to Kagome, he slowly got used to the jello effect and was able to walk confidently to the reading ninken.
"I did it!"
Kagome looked up and smiled at Kakashi.
"Now try to get this bell from me," She said, dangling a silver bell infront of his face.
Running backwards from him she was on the other side of pond, reading her book as she shook the bell with her tail.
"Come and get it!"
Confident in his abilities, he rushed after Kagome, his body automatically adjusting the chakra ontop of the water surface.
