Everything seems like a dream. Had my Senpai really just left me all alone on the edge of a volcano ?
As I watch BigD's Big behind disappear in the distance, it dawns on me that this is reality.
I passed out then. I didn't know whether it was because of the heat or the shock of being left behind .. for what was it.. 3 days .. or maybe it was a combination of both of them. When I came to I found myself sweating all over, sticky and very hot. Just thinking about the heat almost made me nearly faint again.. but I had to be strong .. how was I ever to use Fire Release , if a little heat made me pass out ?
I sigh and think to myself despite the dizziness. I ponder over my Senpai's lasts words to me,
"You will learn how to draw out your fire chakra. next is Continue to meditate with eyes closed, and I want you to infuse with the heat surround, try to become one with it, try to overcome the heat like you are the heat itself, take control of the heat. The hardest part is, draw out your chakra and mimic it with the heat.
Gather it around your right palm till it burst out fire."
It all sounded simple enough. But it obviously wouldn't be if Senpai was going to leave me here for 3 days.
-Sigh-
I better get started.
I get into a meditating position and close my eyes.

You will learn how to draw out your fire chakra.
I recalled my Senpai's words.
Draw out my fire chakra ? How ?
I continued to meditate. I focused on the surrounding heat and my chakra. I imagined my chakra becoming as warm as the heat around me, oozing through my veins like the lava below me and finally transforming into fiery shapes and dancing like flames. I kept concentrating on this image for a while... until I could actually feel my chakra flowing warm through my body.. wanting to turn into these shapes.. aka.. fire release techniques.
I knew I had drawn out my fire release chakra.. but it had taken a while it seemed to do so. The sun was now setting.
Regardless, I meditated on, sustaining my fire chakra so it would not disappear.
Continue to meditate with eyes closed, and I want you to infuse with the heat surround, try to become one with it, try to overcome the heat like you are the heat itself, take control of the heat.
Infuse with the heat.. become one with it .. overcome it.. control it ..
I repeated those words in my head over and over until I was deep in meditation. I had to infuse with the heat. I could feel that my body was not as warm as the surrounding heat. I guess the first step to take was to make me as warm as it. Using my newly drawn out fire chakra, I willed it to warm me up. It was an uncomfortable experience, the heat was almost unbearable, dizziness returning that almost broke my meditation. Eventually my body was as warm as the surrounding heat. It took every ounce of focus to force my mind to relax and convince myself that the heat was actually pleasant. It seemed to work. The more I focused the less bothersome the heat was... it almost felt normal.
I felt normal. Despite the heat I knew was there, I felt normal. I was neither hot nor cold. I was temperate. It seemed I had become one with the heat.. as well as overcome it. Now I had to control it.
I squeezed my eyes tighter. It was becoming difficult to sustain my fire chakra flow and stay one with the heat at the same time. It would require more concentration than I had ever put into any training.
Control the heat ? How could I control it ? Hmm ...
I focused on the heat. I imagined moving the heat away from me with my chakra. I did this until I felt my self suddenly feel very cool... it seemed I had succeeded. I let the heat succumb me again before I imagined it becoming hotter.. I willed it to become hotter. I then willed it to become cooler. I continued this up and down process until I was interrupted by a loud
-CRACK-
My eyes for a second snapped open. In front of me a large boulder had cracked open due to the Fluctuating temperatures it seemed. Again I had controlled the heat.
I sat back. I was exhausted. I looked up at the sky. It was the Second day. About mid day. I needed a rest. I lay back against the newly cracked boulder and took a nap.

I woke up not long after I had fallen to sleep. The heat had kept me from falling into a deep slumber and probably my hungry stomach to.. which was just begging for cake.
"Argh, I'm hungry too.. but don't worry.. tomorrow, we shall have a huge buffet of cakes, sweets, fruit and all the other sugary stuff I can lay hands on !"
-Growl- Was all my stomach replied.
After my conversation with my stomach, I resumed my meditation and re-did the steps I took in order to become one with the heat.. which was done noticeably faster. Now all I needed to do was the hardest thing apparently.. which was mimic my chakra with the heat and gather it around my right palm which will apparently burst out fire.
Standing up, I concentrated again. My chakra was already one with the heat.. but this time instead of me controlling it, I'd let it have some control over me. I let my chakra follow the heat around.. move as the heat did.. feel as the heat did. Slowly I begin to take control over my chakra and let it guide the heat cautiously towards my right hand. I then let my chakra circulate around my hand and tailing it closely was the heat. I continue to let it circulate, as it does so .. building up chakra and heat around my hand. I can feel my hand becoming hotter as the chakra and the heat do.. Suddenly my palm feels hotter than it had ever had.. and a lot hotter than the rest of my body..
My palm bursts out in flames.
Shocked, I fall back causing my fire chakra to stop flowing. But it didn't matter, I had done it. I looked up at the Sky, again time had flown by. It seems I had been meditating for many hours all through the night. It was mid day of the third day. My Senpai would be back shortly. I let exhaustion take over me and lay back, taking a nap as I waited.. dreaming of the buffet I was going to have when I returned to the Village.
