Chapter 20 - Expanding Horizons

From noon to 4 pm, Ayame took over Aryan's education, teaching him a range of subjects including mathematics, sciences, chemistry, physics, history, politics, and geography.

To Ayame's surprise, Aryan quickly grasped complex subjects like math, science, chemistry, and physics. His ability to understand and retain information was remarkable, prompting her to expand his curriculum.

"Aryan, you're progressing so quickly," Ayame remarked, impressed by his aptitude. "We'll add more subjects to your studies. These will be valuable when you enroll in the ninja academy."

She introduced topics like the secrets of hand signs, secret ninja signals, and how to read body language. Aryan was fascinated by these subjects, recognizing their importance for a ninja's skill set.

One particular day, while studying geography, Aryan was surprised to learn about the vastness of the world beyond the Land of Fire. The book described a massive continent that included the Five Great Shinobi Countries—Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, and Earth—as well as many smaller countries like the Land of Rain, River, Iron, Snow, Rock, Frost, Sound, Tea, and Sea.

"Does this cover the whole world?" Aryan asked, curiosity piqued.

Ayame's response surprised him. "No, Aryan. There are three more massive continents far across the sea. However, because of sea monsters, it is very difficult to cross the sea and reach those lands. Due to the lack of communication and knowledge about their geography, they are not included in our study materials."

This revelation intrigued Aryan. He realized that the continent he lived on might be akin to a combination of North America and Europe, representing a superpower in the ninja world. He estimated that the ninja world might be three to five times the size of Earth, considering the existence of other continents.

He filed this information away for future reference, focusing on his immediate goal of growing and learning.

At 4 pm, Aryan had free time to relax and play. He met up with other Uchiha children, participating in games and friendly competitions. Despite his unique appearance, Aryan was accepted by his peers, who admired his determination and skill.

They played ninja games, practicing their finger and hand movements to form different signs faster. Aryan found joy in these interactions, balancing the intensity of his training with moments of laughter and camaraderie.

From 6 to 8 pm, Aryan trained with his father, Kenji. Initially, their sessions focused on traditional Uchiha stretching exercises, but Aryan soon introduced different yoga postures from his past life.

At first, Kenji was surprised but curious. As months passed, he noticed the benefits of these new postures—improved flexibility, balance, and overall well-being. After discussing this with Aryan, Kenji presented the full set of yoga postures and descriptions to the clan head and elders.

The elders were initially skeptical but decided to investigate further. They consulted the clan doctors, who recommended a trial period with some clan ninjas. The results were impressive—yoga helped regulate blood circulation, improve breathing, correct body posture, and maintain balance, which was crucial for ninjas.

Recognizing the value of these practices, the Uchiha clan integrated yoga into their training regimen, making it mandatory for all members. Kenji shared this news with Aryan, who was thrilled that the ancient yogic teachings from his past life were benefiting his clan.

For sword training, Kenji only allowed Aryan to practice three basic moves: thrust, cut, and block. "Your body isn't ready for the full Uchiha style sword technique yet," he explained.

Aryan understood and focused on mastering these basics, knowing that a strong foundation was essential.

After training, the family gathered for dinner, sharing their experiences from the day. Aryan cherished these moments of togetherness, finding comfort and motivation in his family's support.

Before bed, Aryan participated in a meditation session to calm his mind and spirit. The tranquility of the practice helped him center himself, preparing for the challenges of the next day.

As Aryan lay in bed, he reflected on his day. The routine was demanding, but it filled him with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. He was excited about the future, confident in his ability to meet the challenges ahead.

With a smile, Aryan closed his eyes, ready to embrace the opportunities of tomorrow. His journey was just beginning, and he was determined to make the most of every moment.

Aryan was particularly excited about his upcoming enrollment in the ninja academy. He looked forward to meeting new classmates, making friends, and exploring the village once he was allowed more freedom.

The future was bright, and Aryan was ready to step into it with confidence and determination, supported by his family and guided by his own unwavering resolve.
