Damballa and Azaiyo Training (Private No Kill)

Damballa having heard what Azaiyo said about increasing speed and strength. "I need to get faster and stronger!" Damballa told himself. Damballa started sprinting, and felt the wind blowing through his hair. He kept pushing his speed, and pushing until he was sprinting as fast as he could go. His strides were long and graceful, Damballa started to feel some pain in his legs, but he ignored it and pushed forward. There in the distance, Damballa saw a thin tree. "I'm not very physically strong, but I'll give it my all!" Damballa said to himself. Damballa still keeping his break neck pace leaped into the air around 3 meters from the tree and stuck out his foot for a kick. Damballa felt the tree give a little, but it didn't break. Damballa sprinted back towards Azaiyo to see what his sensei had to tell him.

Damballa didn't seem to follow every word that Azaiyo stated. Azaiyo watched from a distance as Damballa had basically made a quick lap, a couple of unique attempts, and a quick return, not much signs of rest coming from his body. "What the hell did I say?!" Azaiyo shouted, "It was stated right in the guidelines! Do not stop training until your body clearly shows that it is done for the time being! I expect you to be out there for hours! Do not worry about potential threats around you, I will easily take care of them! For now, I want to see you return with loads of sweat dripping from your body next time!" It was not like Azaiyo to go off the top on people like this. However, he just wanted to reflect how he trained upon this boy, making it obvious what he had been through and what his student should go through. "Work to your fullest extent, then return to me!"

"Yes Sensei!" Damballa said. There was a little misunderstanding! No it was clear that Damballa had to return back to his sensei with sweat dripping from his body. Damballa set out immediately at a sprint pace. Damballa started running through the streets of Sunagakure. Damballa then saw that all the rooftops in Suna are within a jumping range of each other. Damballa saw his chance and leaped onto the roof of the nursery. When he landed, Damballa saw his goal. Damballa was going to roof top jump across the whole village, until he made it all the way, and then come back to where his sensei was. Damballa started at a sprinting pace, and made his first jump. He landed with a skid, and he would have to have light feet so he could easily jump from roof top to roof top. Damballa was going at a good steady pass. "What would Sensei be telling me right now?" Damballa asked himself. "Don't come back here until you're dripping in sweat." remembering his sensei's words. Damballa increased his pace to his absolute limit. It felt like his legs were on fire, but Damballa had to push through it, this was going to make him stronger after all. People that would look to the roof tops, would see a sillouhete gliding amongst the roof tops of the village. The sensation that Damballa was feeling was like that of flying. Damballa's legs still continued to feel like they were burning from hellish flames. Damballa wouldn't take a break until he had made it to the one end of the village, and then he would sprint back to his sensei. Damballa was now only a few more rooftops away from the edge of the village. Damballa mustering all of his might for this one leap, made it all the way to the northern wall and landed. "Whew!" Damballa said. He looked down at his clothes, and saw that he was soaked in sweat. Damballa after resting for a minute, set back to meet his sensei back at the training grounds. Damballa meditated to prepare himself for the sprint back, and with thoughts of soaring on wings like eagles, Damballa set out with a sprinting pace. Damballa yet again reached his limit and had his legs burning again. "Make it to the training fields Damballa!" Damballa screamed to himself. Through the pain, Damballa tried to increase his pace even more. Damballa was now gliding amongst the roof tops, barely touching down on them. His legs felt like jelly and he still had half way to go. Suddenly, a cool breeze moved over Damballa instantly improving his mood. Damballa looked out to see the few more miles until he reached his sensei. "I won't stop or quit until I reach my goal!" Damballa said. Damballa started gliding again, the pain he felt had now been dwarfed by his will to finish. Damballa now felt no pain and was sprinting at an incredibly fast rate. After about 20 minutes of travel, Damballa could feel his legs starting to fail him, and he wasn't gliding as smoothly. "My body is starting to give out on my!" Damballa said. Damballa only had a few more minutes before he would reach his goal. "Push you little twerp!" Damballa screamed. With a determination of steel, Damballa came back to his sprinting pace and was again gliding amongst the roof tops. He was almost there, and the pain was feeling unbearable now. "One more stride and I'll be there!" Damballa said. With one last leap, Damballa bounded back into the training field. He walked up to Azaiyo covered in sweat, and smelled like he had just took a bath in crap. Damballa looked up at his sensei for his response.

Azaiyo would watch as the boy seemed to have hustled to the best of his ability. However, he was indeed in somewhat bad shape and was running at low levels in some portions of the heavy sprint. "Not bad." Azaiyo commented on the official return of Damballa, "I saw that you ran to the best of your ability but felt pain while doing so. Shinobi can notice pain at any time and use that to their advantage. Therefore, I let you have a moment of rest, but then run the same distance, trying to extinguish the pain that rushes into your inner core. Overcome the pain as you run and make it unnoticable for me." Azaiyo had to be judgmental as he wanted this man to be highly experienced in the criteria he was giving. So far, he had proved that he was an honorable shinobi as he would run farther than expected. However, what Azaiyo really wanted to see was how fast this boy could run.

"I saw that you ran to the best of your ability but felt pain while doing so. Shinobi can notice pain at any time and use that to their advantage. Therefore, I let you have a moment of rest, but then run the same distance, trying to extinguish the pain that rushes into your inner core. Overcome the pain as you run and make it unnoticable for me." Azaiyo said. Damballa hearing that he had to run with a long distance, but with incredible speed. Damballa took a minute breather, and then he got ready to set out again, but this time with incredible speed. Like a crack of lightning, Damballa was sprinting, and then increased his pace until he found the roof top of the nursery. With an incredible leap with equal speed, Damballa hurled himself upwards towards the sky until he landed on the rooftop. "I'm going to make it back as fast as I possibly can, I won't even let death stop me!" Damballa said. Damballa leapt from the first roof top onto the second rooftop and started accelerating as fast as he could. Before Damballa knew it, he was yet again gliding across the roof tops, barely touching down on them. "I have to go even faster!" Damballa said. With a cry like a lion, Damballa desperately increased his pace even more, until he was skipping roof tops. Damballa felt some sharp pain in his leg, when he thought back to what his sensei had told him. "Shinobi can notice pain at any time and use it to their advantage." Damballa told himself. Damballa not giving into the pain tryed to increase his pace to the maximum that his body would allow. Damballa made it to the northern wall in record time. Damballa taking no time for a break jumped toward the wall and did a back flip to start the journey back. Damballa was experiencing pain right now yes, but he had a smile on his face and immediatly starting hopping roof tops back to the training grounds where his sensei awaited him. Damballa tried starting up to his roof skipping pace, and he did it with ease. Damballa was jumping over a whole roof top and landing on the other one with ease. Damballa with an intense fury to win formed a sense of determination on his face, and before he knew it, he had returned to the training grounds in nearly half the time that he had the first time. Damballa was sweating terribly, and his legs hurt, but no one would be able to know, because Damballa was smiling. He walked up to his sensei and awaited his response.

Azaiyo would watch as the results were now becoming better. The boy may have not noticed it, but on top of Azaiyo's instructions, Damballa was also teaching himself how to become better. Azaiyo believed he would only have to teach this man one more lesson before shortly departing. His student was teaching himself to become unnoticable to his enemies as he pushed himself harder and harder, not giving any mercy to the obstacles before him. "Yes indeed..." Azaiyo thought to himself, "...it is time to see how strong Damballa can be on his own." Standing there, Azaiyo felt embarrassed as his student was within a couple feet of him, starring at him for his response while he was thinking to himself. "We will go through one more lesson..." Azaiyo muttered, "...then you will go through your ultimate training assessment. This time, I want you to run down the forest and try and knock over some rusty trees. Bare with me now, you may not be strong enough at this moment to succeed, but never give up. One day, you will be on your own, a man of justice you will be as you will dominate all obstacles, a selfless shinobi with a heart of gold. Now go out there, and show it!" Azaiyo would smile as he would now watch the boy perform his final lesson before departing.

"We will go through one more lesson..." Azaiyo muttered, "...then you will go through your ultimate training assessment. This time, I want you to run down the forest and try and knock over some rusty trees. Bare with me now, you may not be strong enough at this moment to succeed, but never give up. One day, you will be on your own, a man of justice you will be as you will dominate all obstacles, a selfless shinobi with a heart of gold. Now go out there, and show it!" Damballa felt elated and ready to set out. "So this is going to be my last training exercise." Damballa said. Damballa immediatly set out at his favorite pace, which was incredibly leg wrenchingly painful, but he loved it. Damballa made it to the forest quickly, and started looking for some trees. There was one tree that caught Damballa's eye. The tree was withered and dead, and Damballa thought that this would be a perfect tree to practice on. Damballa ran up to the tree and kicked it. Waves of pain were sent down Damballa's leg when it bounced off the tree. Damballa felt pain, but ignored it, and it fueled him to try even harder. Eventually, blood started to form on his knuckles and foot and Damballa looked intently on the blood. A thought had just entered Damballa's mind, "This blood shows that I am determined and devout to my goal!" Damballa with invigoration started beating the tree with newfound determination. In a flurry of kicks, elbows, and knees, Damballa felled the tree with one last strike to the center. With a great crack, the tree fell down and lay one with the soil. Damballa eager to look around for another tree, came upon a larger more thicker tree. Damballa ran up to the tree and started a flurry of kicks and strikes on it. Damballa's blood was staining the tree, and this further pushed Damballa to fell it. With utter determination for his goal, Damballa kicked the tree with a front snap kick and with that, the roots lost their connection with the soil and down went the tree. Damballa repeated this process on 5 to 6 other trees. Satisfied with his work and his bruised and bloddied body, Damballa set back at his incredibly fast pace to meet with his sensei for the last time.

"That was great!" Azaiyo smiled, clapping his hands, "However, like I said about the speed, enemies can also take advantage of blood or injury, so try not to undergo it." Azaiyo looked at the man as he was completely worn out. He could see Damballa's veins rushing through his body, blood dripping from the chest downward, and massive loads of sweat drenching his student. "Take a break now..." Azaiyo offered, "...loads of shinobi are coming to these grounds now, long distances away but good enough to still have you protected. This is your final test, individual exercises. Now that you have greatly advanced speed and strength, you will now be tested on doing your own routines to improve as I write down your results from afar. However now, I give you my temporary farewell." With this, Azaiyo would dash towards his next meeting, far away from the area for a while. [EXIT]
