Ayumi - Chakra Training 1

Ayumi woke up to a good breakfast made by her uncle, Gortak. She rapidly ate her breakfast, got dressed, took her preperations and got out of the house. She was determined to take the first big step in her chakra training today which meant she had to start climbing those trees. Literally, trees. She had made her uncle prepare some food and packed them with lots of water yesterday to be able to train till late. Gortak was fine with her being late because he knew she is not the troublemaker type.

Ayumi ran to the training ground and went near a very tall tree. She wanted to make sure she did this right so she chose the tallest tree she could find, put her bag near the tree, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and started trying to concentrate her chakra into the bottom of her feet. After a few seconds she felt like she managed the chakra's location pretty easily.

"Huh, maybe people exaggerate the difficulty of this training."

She started running towards the tree as fast as she could and after just a couple of steps climbing, she suddenly got thrown back. She looked at the tree to see she broke the tree a little on the point she was thrown back. She got more excited now that she failed, she never liked easy challenges anyways. After a few more tries, she quickly understood the real difficulty in chakra management. Whenever she gathered too much chakra under her feet, the tree broke and she was thrown back. But having too little chakra under her feet would mean just free falling. She had to find the right amount and concentrate during her climb to keep the chakra on the same level.

She ran once more, and once more, each time marking how high she went. She kept trying and trying to get higher on the tree but after 4 hours of training, as she got higher on the tree, the falls and chakra concentration started to effect her fatigue and she started to make no progress. Instead she was getting lower on the tree each time. After another half an hour she got frustrated with her stamina, stopped trying for no good and decided to rest a bit near the tree and eat lunch.

Ayumi didn't know what her uncle prepared for him, she wanted it to be a surprise. As usual, her uncle didn't let her down, there were 3 egg salad sandwiches, which is one of her favorite sandwich, and some apples. She didn't have her real parents or many friends or even acquaintances, but having Gortak in her life was making her life a lot easier and happier. As she ate, she tried to clarify her mind from the frustration. She kept thinking about the time she went to the highest point and tried to remember how she made it there. After a good 20 minute rest, although she slept well last night, she was getting really sleepy with the wind blowing gently to her face. Even though she wanted to keep practicing, she couldn't resist it and fell asleep under the tree.
