Kakashi decided it was time to teachCap and Natasha about chakra.
"So where would we be training?" Natasha asked.
"Somewhere isolated where no one would disturb us." Kakashi said as he put his hands on their backs.
Before they could ask anything else, a swirl of space appeared around them. The world twisted. Colours blurred. Then everything settled again.
The teleportation had been smooth and fast. Neither Cap nor Natasha felt sick. They were too surprised at the sudden change in scenery to feel anything.
They looked amazed at the floating blocks and the nothingness. Cap turned in a slow circle. He stared at the endless grey and the floating grey blocks that went on forever in every direction.
Natasha crossed her arms. She tried to look unbothered since she had already been in Kamui dimension once when Kakashi teleported from the Asgard Ship to Earth when Creel was in danger. But her eyebrows were still lifted high in wonder.
"Where are we…" Cap asked in confusion and wonder. His voice echoed a little in the empty space.
Kakashi answered in his usual calm tone. "This is an alternate dimension. Anyway, you cannot learn a lot during the time we have. So I will teach you the tricks that will immediately be helpful for you. For advanced versions of using chakra like jutsus, we will have to wait for now."
The two nodded. Kakashi was the experienced one. They trusted him to know what they needed most right now. They did not argue with him.
"First we make you feel chakra," Kakashi explained. "Chakra is a mixture of physical and spiritual essences. Since you have trained your bodies to their peak and the super soldier serum that was given to both of you should have enhanced your physical essence, you should have a good amount of chakra to play with."
Natasha who was given Russian based super soldier serum asked "Why would that increase our chakra?"
"The serum made your bodies stronger than normal humans. It increased your muscles, your bones, your speed, and your stamina. That boost also increased the physical part of your chakra. The spiritual part comes from your mind, your will, and your emotions. Both parts together create chakra. You have more than most normal people."
"So how do we feel chakra? Do we meditate?" Natasha asked
"Well just sit in a meditative position and feel for a new that feeling that I would help you with by flowing by own chakra into your body." Kakashi said
Cap and Natasha sat down on the stone block. They crossed their legs in a meditative position. They closed their eyes.
Kakashi stepped closer. He placed one hand on Cap's back and one on Natasha's. He flowed his own chakra into them.
After a few minutes of this, they finally were able to feel their chakra.
Kakashi stepped back. He watched their faces. He could feel the amount of chakra they had after spreading his own chakra through their chakra network.
Cap had a large amount. Almost equal to a jōnin. Natasha had less. But still strong for this world. Around chūnin level. More than enough for what he planned to teach.
Kakashi thought, 'Did him being in ice for seventy years also increase his spiritual chakra?' He considered it. The serum had changed Steve's body. The long sleep might have changed his mind and spirit too. It made sense.
Both had more chakra than Clint. Clint only had genin-level reserves. Good for this world. But not enough for high-level techniques.
Kakashi continued thinking. 'They might be able to learn more jutsus than Clint. Clint only had genin-level reserves which is good for this world but not much to learn high-level techniques. But sadly we do not have the time to teach them many jutsus. Chakra control and chakra augmentation could be learned within the time if they are a little talented. It would be helpful for them for future jutsus.'
He wished he had a chakra paper to test their affinities. Sadly he did not. They would have to try jutsus for each nature to find their natural chakra affinity. Fire. Water. Wind. Lightning. Earth. It would take time. And they had a little time before the next mission.
"I will teach you two things now that you can feel chakra," Kakashi said. "First is chakra control. With good enough control, you will be able to walk on walls and trees. I will leave the advanced versions of this exercise for later when we have more time. Then I will teach you chakra augmentation. You will use chakra to enhance your punches, kicks, or even weapons."
Cap and Natasha nodded. They looked a little excited. Cap thought about how useful this would be. Stronger punches. Faster movement. It would make him even more effective in battle.
Natasha spoke up and asked a question out of nowhere. "Do you think we will be able to stop whoever is trying to destroy the universe? He or she should be very powerful."
She was not scared. She was worried. She did not want to fail. She had failed before. She had lost people before. She did not want to lose more.
Kakashi looked at her. Then at Cap. Then at the floating blocks around them.
"Well, look at it this way," he said. "We stop it then it is all good. But if we fail that would mean that we are dead. As I believe that we all would give our all to stop it. And if we die then the universe dies with us and then there would be no one that would be able to complain that the Avengers failed them."
Natasha gave a dry chuckle. "Is that supposed to reassure me?"
Kakashi shrugged. "I am never good with speeches. So you will have to make do with it. Now enough chatting. Back to training."
Natasha went back to her training. She focused on feeling her chakra again. Cap gave Kakashi a knowing smile. Kakashi looked confused. Cap laughed softly.
"You remind me of a younger me," Cap said while chuckling.
Kakashi looked even more confused. Cap just smiled wider. He did not explain. He turned back to his own training.
