Might Guy notices his sensei in front of him and flips up to stand up straight. He then gives a thumbs up and winks with a full open smile.
"That's right! My name is Might Guy! It's great to meet you!"

Since this is your first training, I'm going to have to start with the very basics.
In your own words tell me what chakra is in the Narutoverse. Then tell me how it can be utilized by ninja.

Chakra is the fundamental life force necessary to perform even the most basic tasks. As said previously, chakra is split into two groups, physical and spiritual energy. Balancing the two are what allows for proper execution of techniques. If someone has proper chakra control, when they activate a technique, it should not take so much chakra to deplete them. However, someone with poor chakra control would use excessive chakra for techniques and run out of chakra faster. Additionally, there is a third part to chakra. For those who are capable of utilizing nature energy or senjutsu chakra, they also utilize nature energy alongside physical and spiritual energy. Doing so requires and incredible amount of chakra control and also a sizable chakra pool. Finally, chakra is what is used for techniques, including ninjutsu, genjutsu, and even taijutsu to increase power. When used in ninjutsu, the chakra can be shaped. Shape manipulation revolves around changing the structure of the raw chakra in an attack. The strongest example of shape manipulation is the Rasengan. The counterpart to shape manipulation is nature transformation which revolves around changing the chakra into elemental natures. Nature transformation generally takes more control and is more energy consuming. Also, it is incredibly difficult to balance high degrees of shape transformation with nature transformation. So techniques that utilizes both transformations would be Chidori which has less shape transformation than the Rasengan, but added with nature transformation.

That is what I know of Chakra.

Chakra is the energy that is formed through the passive combination of both the Physical and the Spiritual energies in a sentient being(every living being with a conscious mind has chakra). Physical energy corresponds to the vitality of the body and its own energy. Spiritual energy corresponds to the mind or spirit, and comes from the awareness and "soul" of each sentient being. Some ninjas have high levels of chakra because they have great physical energy and others because of their spiritual energy. However, it's much more difficult to increase the spiritual energy than the physical one, thus why all ninjas pass through intensive physical workout. Chakra flows in a circulatory system inside your body, in a way that much resembles the blood circulation. This circulatory system has 8 small reservoirs that act as both storage but also chakra regulation. These are the eight inner gates. Along your circulatory system, small "portals" exist that enable you to expell chakra from your body. These are called Tenketsu and there are 361 of them scattered along the body. When a tenketsu opens, chakra poors out of it. It's by molding the chakra that comes out of the tenketsu that you produce ninjutsu and genjutsu. On top of that chakra various from person to person and can be manipulated, such as Naruto's Rasengan. He mixed his wind natured chakra with the shape manipulation of a sphere to create it. Everyone's charkra has an element it leans towards and can have it's shape created and altered. There is also a couple other forms of chakra, such as Kurama in Naruto(Jinchuriki's). He has access to Kurama's vast amount of chakra which originally isn't Naurto's but further enhances Naruto's abilities. The other being Senjutsu which is nature energy and greatly enhances all of the users abilities ranging from ninjutsu, taijutsu, and even genjutsu. The users body is significantly stronger and much more durable. Chakra is utilized by shinobi for in various way's such as healing people, using it to enhance jutsu strength and much more. It's the energy people have in their bodies and without it they can't live. It is essentially all ninja's to manage their reserves and

The first thing I will teach you is how to mold and focus chakra. Grab one leaf from any tree and place it on your forehead. Then begin channeling your chakra into that leaf. Tell me what you think should happen.

I grab a leaf and I place it on my forehead and it falls down. I then hold the leaf on my forehead with my fingers and begin trying to channel my chakra to my forehead where the leaf is placed.

I'd imagine the leaf stays put and doesn't fall, similar to how chakra can be placed on ones feet in order walk on trees and not fall

Jiraiya picks up a leaf and places it on his forehead. As he places the leaf while holding it up with his fingers, he starts to concentrate his chakra into the leaf.

"I think the leaf is suppose to crumble right? Basically the same exercise Naruto had done with his fuuton training, trying to split the leaf. Except with doton it would be the leaf crumbling instead."

This is right.

Jiraiya picks up a leaf and places it on his forehead. As he places the leaf while holding it up with his fingers, he starts to concentrate his chakra into the leaf.

"I think the leaf is suppose to crumble right? Basically the same exercise Naruto had done with his fuuton training, trying to split the leaf. Except with doton it would be the leaf crumbling instead."
Not exactly, there is no proof of a leaf crumbling when you focus earth chakra in it in the manga (though it does make sense), but you are correct that when wind is focused into a leaf it will split. But you are not there yet. As of now, you are learning simply how to mold non-elemental chakra. Your sensei in the future when you learn specific elements will teach you the unique ways to mold those specific elements and how to practice molding them. As of now, the leaf is supposed to stick to your forehead. You use your chakra to grab onto the leaf and keep it in place.

Side note: since this is earth training, you'll see the exercise I use to help you use earth chakra later on. For now let me just go through the basics of non-elemental chakra control.

Now that you have that down we can move on to the next part of your chakra control training. You need to understand how the concept of the leaf being held to your forehead works at a higher level. Holding the leaf to your forehead only requires a small amount of chakra. This next training exercise will teach you how to control large levels of chakra. In this training, you will be channeling your chakra to the bottom of your feet. After you channel what you feel to be the proper amount of chakra, run toward a tree at full speed. Once you get close to a tree, place one foot on the tree. Use the chakra on the sole of that foot to grab onto the bark of the tree. Then life your other foot and place it above the first foot. Use this foot to grab onto the bark of the tree as well. By using your chakra to hold onto the tree, try to run vertically straight up it. This is similar to the first exercise, but it is more advanced in that you have to focus chakra to both of your feet and evenly through the soles of your feet, and you will have to hold the weight of your entire body. If the chakra is not even on the soles you will simply fall off. On top of that, even if the chakra is even, if the chakra is too weak you won't be able to grab onto the grab and if it is too strong you will be pushed off the tree as it causes the bark to break under too much pressure.

Alright!

Might Guy looks at the tree and claims his victory, stating he will climb it! He then stands still and molds his chakra and focuses on the soles of his feet, when he believes he is ready, he races towards the tree and lifts his foot up. As soon as it touches the tree, it continues to push down until the bark snaps! Guy sheepishly tries to play off the incident. He then tries again and focuses more but not using too much chakra. He goes on the tree and steps on it. He then continues to go up two steps before falling down from lack of concentration with the chakra. He continues to get up and this time manages to get all the way to a high tree branch and grab onto it. Feeling confident, Guy stands perpendicular on the tree and walks casually down it to the floor. When he gets down to the floor, he excitedly cheers

Oh alright, I understand! Thanks for explaining!

Jiraiya molds his chakra into the sole of his feet and concentrates. Opening his eyes, he runs directly towards the tree at full speed, and started to work his way upwards the tree. After a couple foot steps up the tree, the bark under him shattered and he fell down. "Alright, I got this, don't worry peeps." Once again, Jiraiya molds some more chakra and begins to concentrate. With more confidence and experience he runs to the tree again and begins running up it, this time reaching the top of the tree while having the proper amount of chakra at the sole of his feet.

"Can I stay up here sensei?"

Alright good.

The final step in your chakra control training is to walk on water. Let's go to the local hot springs so you can begin. Walking on water is much more advanced than walking on solid surfaces because unlike solid surfaces water can move underneath your feet. Water constantly changes position and thus maintaining the same amount of chakra at all times will not work. You must instead release a constant stream of chakra from your feet to act as repellent that pushes on the water and allows the surface tension created to hold you up. As you release the constant stream of chakra from your feet, you must adjust the chakra flow so that it matches the water beneath you. You must constantly adjust your chakra to stand on water. At first this may seem difficult and will require some focus, but after a while, you will be able to stand on water without even noticing.

Might Guy nods with confidence. He prepares his chakra in the same manner as before and then attempts to make it flow more naturally rather than how he did to walk on the trees. Once he did, he put his foot forward and attempted walk on the water. He then goes right through and steps in the burning hot water. After burning his feet, he lifts it out of the water and attempts to one more time. He ends up standing still after a few attempts on the water, but falls in when a ripple occurs in the water which makes him lose control. After awhile, he continues to change the chakra in his feet to adjust to the flowing nature of the water, which allows him to successfully stand and walk on the water.

After watching Guy attempt to stand on the hot water, Jiraiya stepped forward with confidence and took a steady, firm stance and began to concentrate. He gather his chakra and walked onto the water. After a brief second, he fell into the hot water. "Oh God, this water is scorching!" After getting out of the water, Jiraiya tried a couple more times, constantly falling into the hot water. "Ok, I got this guys!" After a dozen attempts of trying to stand on the water Jiraiya finally managed to stay and freely move around on the water.

"This was definitely a lot harder to do than the tree climbing...."

Now that you've got a hold of how to mold chakra let's move on to the next phase.

-throws you a shovel-

Start digging. And don't stop until the hole is big enough for you to fit into.

Might Guy gives a humorously-looking shocked face. Not wanting to be rude, Guy takes the shovel and considers it a challenge for himself to dig the deepest hole he possibly could. Furthering his own challenge to himself, rather than finding a soft spot of earth to start digging, he found the toughest rock spot he could find and began to dig. It took him awhile, but he eventually dug a hole thrice the size of him.

"Hmmm, digging holes, sounds like fun....ha...ha" Jiraiya leans over to pick up the shovel and begins to dig a few feet away from Guy. After some time has passed by, the hole started to come together but kept spilling over the dirt at the top making it even longer than it really should have. Eventually Jiraiya finished digging his body sized hole and threw the shovel down, in the hole.

"Welp, that was something sensei haha."

Before you can start manipulate earth chakra in the form of jutsu you need to be able to manipulate earth chakra at lower levels so that your control of it is strong enough. You have prepared the hole, now jump into it and I will bury you alive. You will not be able to move. Now feel the earth around you, and feel what it personifies. All those emotions I told you to tell me about earth, let those emotions race through your body. Find the perfect balance between your mind and body for the earth element. Then channel your chakra into the earth below your feet while channeling those emotions into the chakra and feel the chakra become one with the earth. Force your chakra to rise up beneath your in the shape of a pillar to lift you out from the dirt.
