The first hour into his training and Jonathan made little to no progress. Because his chakra was low, he was constantly sweating profusely which made harnessing the Gift of the Sages chakra more difficult. This form of training wasn't identical to Sage Mode training, but it was equally as tedious. On top of having to mediate in a secluded area, Jonathan also had to concentrate on anyone close by.

His mind was multitasking to a degree that most people would have lost focus on. To make matters even harder on Jonathan, he was in an area where the chakra was faint. As opposed to the monks, who were meditating where they could feel the chakra most abundant. Despite this grueling setback, Jonathan continued to meditate.

After a whole day, Jonathan had progressed by only two percent.

He rose from his seat and teleported to Kyowakoku Jungle. 'All of my time is going to have to be spent acquiring that chakra,' thought Jonathan. 'Even if it's only a two percent gain, I'll turn it to one-hundred eventually.' Jonathan couldn't meditate at Kyowakoku Jungle. He couldn't meditate anywhere for that matter. The Gift of the Sage's chakra only existed in the Fire Temple.

Jonathan understood that though his time was short, he could expand on his foundations as long as he used that time wisely.

The next day, Jonathan returned to the Fire Temple as Zena. Instead of having his chakra replenished on his final night, Koku let it restore naturally. Jonathan was not someone who wasted his potential. The moment he arrived at the Fire Temple, he walked around bowing to the other monks that approached. Monks here were peaceful. They did not trouble others so long as they themselves weren't being troubled. They even had a schedule for their daily activities.

Some would trim the temple's hedges. Others would be practicing their martial arts in their open training grounds. While those who finished their tasks would use their free time to pray or meditate in and out of the temple. It was the perfect place for a subtle person like Jonathan to blend in. He was as wise as a serpent but as harmless as an innocent dove.

EIGHT MONTHS LATER

There were many things Jonathan had been managing these last eight months. His main focus, however, was harnessing the Gift of the Sage's chakra. The more he was seen as Zena in the Fire Temple, the less often he used him as a transformation. Jonathan would regularly watch each monk perform their duties before picking the right one to transform into during certain times of the day. To make matters more conscious, he would greatly alter their appearance to make sure others didn't recognize him by chance.

When Jonathan wasn't at the Fire Temple, he would travel elsewhere to ensure his plans weren't being delayed. His first location would always be the Leaf Village. That was because Izumi Uchiha was a walking paradox. Not once had she reported her two encounters with Jonathan. However, this was only directed towards her clan. Because of Fugaku's interference, she became close to Itachi Uchiha. It wasn't the same as in the novel or the animated series, but it was enough for Izumi to finally open up slightly.

The thing that Jonathan discovered was that Itachi Uchiha had now known Izumi was being stalked by him. She told Itachi all the details while making him vow to keep things a secret from the clan. It was a childish act, but Jonathan was not perturbed in the slightest. As long as Izumi Uchiha made connections and grew, it would only lean towards Jonathan's favour.

Rumours had been spreading of Izumi's talents. To the point that even talks of her advancing to the Anbu Black Ops were being mentioned. This did not settle well in Jonathan's heart. Both Shisui and Itachi had their sharingan's active when they fought Jonathan. That meant they could possibly identify his chakra signature. Unlike Kakashi Hatake, who couldn't fully identify it because he was mixing Kokuō's chakra with his own, Itachi witnessed the whole thing.

After confirming things in the Leaf Village, Jonathan would immediately head back to the Fire Temple. He was bent on gaining access to their chakra. It was a rarity in this world, and not many people had a counter against its deadly technique.

Every other week, Jonathan would transform into Kizashi Haruno before teleporting to Takayama Town. There, he was given a brief overview by Katsumi Washizawa. The progress was going well, but Jonathan had already figured that. What he was interested in knowing was which individual tried to prowl around. Because word got out Katsumi was too busy spending his time and effort on this project, it got the attention of the news. This was the downside of Jonathan's plans. It was inevitable that his building would gain a little publicity.

That is why Jonathan made sure to keep his name and face completely confidential. The only moment Jonathan would be seen in Takayama Town was inside Washizawa Kensetsu. When he wasn't there talking with Katsumi Washizawa, he would secretly go to the site and personally see how much progress was really being made.

When Jonathan was handling matters there, he would be found back at the Fire Temple. Something many didn't know about was how rigorous the training was to access the Gift of the Sage's chakra. Jonathan could not outright replenish his chakra when he was finished. The Gift of the Sage's chakra had a chakra pool of its own; meaning, Jonathan had to divide his own chakra while trying to harness the chakra at the temple. When he was done training for the day, he had to naturally let his chakra replenish on his own. Otherwise, Kokuō's chakra, or even natural energy, would corrupt the chakra.

Because of that, mixed with Jonathan's already low chakra reserves on their own, he didn't have enough stamina or chakra left to train. For eight whole months, Jonathan was in that state. For eight whole months, Jonathan meditated while being in a fatigued state. For eight whole months, Jonathan had disguised himself as a monk.

It was only after those eight months of hardship that Jonathan reached one-hundred percent.
