Oda revealed to have tamed the beast that was his chakra almost as if his chakra were that of an uncaged beast. He had conquered it like it was that of a foreign land. In reality Oda had taken hold of the practice known as chakra flow in order to further progress his swordsmanship. As a result of such he knew there would be more to come in all aspects of combat as this was merely a stepping stone for all of those things. A few moments had gone by before the wind began to pick up and with that the leaves that rested upon the trees he sat in front of began to fall. This eventually led to his eyes flickering open like someone had opened a set of blinds. The flow of chakra that resonated from within his body had begun to subside and eventually dissipated from view altogether. In passing Oda had come to a stand only to gather a few leaves in the palm of his hand. A grand total of ten and with that he’d begun about his way. Letting out a brief exhale to calm his heartbeat much further than what it’d already been slowed to. In doing his this his focus shifted from that of his heart to that of the palm of his hand. This was done so that in the instance he picked up a single leaf it’d hopefully hold a similar physique to that of steel. It started with a single leaf that Oda now held in his right hand between his index and middle finger. The remaining seven leaves resided in the grasp of his left. Soon any bystanders that had come to find Oda standing amidst the training ground could find him with his eyes closed and with that followed a rhythmic breathing pattern. The rising and falling of his chest seemingly moving at a snail's pace in those moments. In doing that the leaf that rested betwixt his two fingers revealed to be coated with that of his own black chakra. This soon revealed to have the leaf standing erect rather than its typical flimsy physique. In the wake of this Oda turned his attention to that of the tree he’d called a bed for the morning. Upon doing so he’d taken a total of ten steps away in order to put a greater distance between himself and such a thing. However not long after this he’d come to turn his physique the leaf still erect between his fingers and before one knew it they could find him flicking his wrist albeit rather abruptly. The result of such a rushed action was that the leaf fell short of its mark traveling only a short distance before losing the flow of chakra Oda supplied it with. Oda let out a soft sigh of disappointment before taking up another leaf between his fingers. His chakra raring to flow through its physique and within a few seconds it had done so. This revealed to have the leaves physique standing on end like that of a terrified cat. This being the case Oda had taken up the same form as before. His breath slow and his flow of chakra steady before he let loose of the leaf once more. This leaf however didn’t lose its luster in being thrown with a small flow of chakra through it physique. This leaf had in fact gone the distance and made contact with the tree that resided a solid twenty feet away. Although once it reached its mark it had exactly stuck like that of a kunai striking its intended target. This leaf had met its mark but in doing so had only put a nick in the tree’s physique. This was a result of the leaf losing its chakra just as it made contact with such a force. Now stood a total of six leaves within the grasp of Oda’s left hand and with that a few seconds had gone by. A bit of mental frustration plagued Oda as he knew what he was doing and at this point to him it was merely a point of losing patience with each failure. However he knew that wasn’t the key to gaining a new talent. As his father used to tell him in his younger days ‘use it or lose it’ and this was a prime example of using what you know so you don’t fall out of practice. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">After a few minutes of calming himself and pondering on the very things he had done wrong. Oda held the leaf he took from his left hand betwixt those same two fingers and took that same stance from before. This time his eyes were trained on the target that stood before him and with that he began about his way. His wrist flicking with such precision and as a product of such a thing the leaf flew true. Aimed to embed itself within the bark of the tree just an inch or two enough to keep itself wedged within its physique. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A look of jubilation befell Oda’s face before he heard the rumble of his stomach escape from beneath his hoodie. This was soon followed by a brief rubbing with his now empty right hand. In doing this he’d turned his attention to a brief rustling in the bushes before a flock of rabbits made themselves known. Darting between a few trees here and there in order to seek out their own food.
