Ringos first jutsu and speed training

Ringo woke up early in the morning and was listening to the sound of the birds it was a beautiful day. Breakfast was just a great simple bowl of hot ramen. Ringo felt the urge to train again finally and today was a great looking day to start. Ringo gathered his swords, a bag of supplies, and a few jutsu scrolls. Ringo began strapping on his leg weights he had almost doubled the wight since he had started, and the cement bricks were beginning to feel like plastic. The new weights were one of his brothers and were very heavy like adding another brick to his leg. It was just way too easy though lately with his usual set. Ringo stretched and then strapped his bag tight and made sure he had everything for a week up there in case he got crazy, he only planned on staying a day or two though. He of course brought his two swords in case something were to happen again on his trip although he doubted he would do anything but sharpen them. Ringo bent over and prepared to start his run he began like always and bent over like it was a real race. Ringo counted down slowly and was taking a few last deep breaths. 321 and he bolted off he was moving fast and leaping over small gaps in the trail so to keep a good pace. Ringo needed more of a challenge after a while so he jumped up to the nearby trees. Ringo landed on a branch and had to gain balance as it wobbled it was very hard to run across tree tops and the weights were heavy enough to make even the sturdiest branches sway a little, but Ringo accepted the challenge and began slowly making his way tree to tree up the path As he became better he gained more and more speed. The trees were really dense in the middle along the path making it easy and giving him lots of practice in tree running. When Ringo reached the mountain finally he did not use the windy path he always had, instead he jumped hard all the way from a tree branch onto the mountain. Ringo focused and steadied his chakra to his feet and then he began his run straight to the top were the clearing was. It took Ringo only minutes to climb to the top and was much quicker then taking the long windy path he had no difficulty even with the new weights climbing to the top. Once Ringo reach the path on the mountain top to his camp sight he continued running to the camp sight were he always stayed and quickly he sat down all his gear under his tree and began running to the river that wasn't far from the camp to the north in the forest. Ringo sprinted quickly across the clearing and into the woods. When Ringo found the river he bent down and took a long drink from the river. It was refreshing and cool as always. Since Ringo had a lot more weights on and he wanted to make sure and wear them in, he began taking a few paces back away from the river then he turned and ran as hard as he could and lunged jumping straight over the 11 foot wide river. Ringo landed barely on the other side and then he continued his run. Once the trees got thick he jumped back on top of the tree branches and began running straight through the forest branch to branch. After a moment the trees got thin and he had to jump harder and harder to clear each one barely making each by less and less. Ringo stopped running and landed for a moment the trees were thinning and he couldn't continue on top. Ringo jumped down and continued. His legs were still good as new though so he began picking up speed he ran faster and harder until he felt his legs burn off. Ringo finally reached the edge of the mountain were he had dropped off a cliff and climbed back up. Ringo felt up for the challenge again and without thinking ran off the side he felt his body fall threw the air super fast and enjoyed the cool wind as he soared to the bottom. Ringo landed hard on the ground. Ringo heard something in the distance. He quickly made his way to examine the noise. It was some loud voices in the distance. Ringo jumped up into the tree near him and moved quietly as he came closer he saw two ninja in the distance it looked like they were beginning to fight. One began making hand signs and then Ringo saw as The ninja performed the hand signs for a great fireball. The ninja cast and the other answered summoning a tidal wave of water in front of him to protect him. Ringo was close enough to feel as the massive fire was put out. These ninja were fighting on a huge scale way beyond his level and he needed to get away quickly Ringo turned and was just about to leave when he saw a bright glow begin in the distance near the ninja. A large fire was expanding every were and towards Ringo. Ringo Began running as fast as he could tree to tree. He wasn't far from the cliff were he had dropped from and the fire was coming fast engulfing everything behind him. As Ringo approached the last tree to the cliff he tripped and fell off tumbling right to the base. His eyes stung from sweat and his legs hurt from all the running and the fall. Ringo had no time tho and shot to the wall running up as fast as he could. As Ringo left the surface the fire hit the last trees. Ringo only escaped the fire by feet as it slammed against the mountain. When Ringo reached the top he looked back down the cliff at the raging fire in the valley and took a deep relieved breath that he had escaped. He had never seen jutsu that big before and he hoped he wouldn't have to fight that anytime soon. Ringo slowly made his way back to camp his joyful run had turned into a run for dear life. As Ringo returned he just sat and ate the first time he had really acted like a kid since his parents died and it had almost gotten him killed. Ringo knew he had to become much more serious or he would have no hope of surviving to even avenge his family's deaths.

DAY 2
---------
Ringo woke up as always early. He ate quickly so he could begin his training. His chakra skills were weak and all his speed meant nothing if he couldn't do even one move. Ringo pulled out all the scrolls he brought and he began reading. His chakra was too low to do anything effective really and he had to start with the basics. An easy jutsu many lightning users use is Full Body Current which is able to produce a small static field or a deadly violent surge of lightning. Ringo walked to the middle of the field and began making the Ram, Snake, and then Ox sign. He began gathering chakra and he could feel it build over his whole body. As he performed the signs static began appearing all around him. Ringo built up more and more and then finally he pushed it out and electricity flowed from all around him. Ringo smiled and began building chakra again. This time Ringo did not make the signs he just built chakra and then when he quickly made the three hand signs he pushed his hands out away from him and the lightning surged around him a moment. It was much stronger that time because he waited then used his hands to help guide and exert his chakra into lightning. It did not go very far and there wasn't much but if someone was close enough it would come in handy. And now at least he knew one jutsu. Ringo's chakra was already out. It was much harder for him to train his chakra then his agility when he had no chakra to start with. Ringo walked back towards his bag and picked up another scroll. He needed to recharge and rest a moment. The next jutsu was called Surge Blast it was a small jolt of electricity that disables opponents. For someone fast like Ringo he would use it to take advantage and rush his opponent. Ringo sat and kept on reading for a few more minutes then got up and went back to the middle of the field but this time he stood near one of the rocks to have something to aim his new jutsu at. Ringo gathered chakra and focused on the nearby rock he made the Ram and Snake sign and then he aimed his hands at the rock. A blue stream shot out and singed the rock quickly then disappeared. Ringo quickly made the sign again and aimed at the rock, It singed it just a little above the original spot he had just hit. Ringo could use this little zap a million times it was so small it couldn't really hurt anything. Ringo gathered his remaining chakra and performed the Ram snake ox sign and focused his chakra forward with his hands lightning erupted from behind him and slammed the rock a little. Ringo smiled then he lowered his hands and realized how heavy they were. Chakra really took a lot out of him, he could run up a mountain but he could not use two attacks. Ringo walked back and sat down to recuperate. There was only one jutsu he could perform left in his scrolls. The Great Blinding Blast, this was just a bright blast that could stun an opponent for a few seconds but it would be enough time for Ringo to get to whoever it was and strike before they knew what hit them. Ringo looked and the signs were just Ram and Ox. Ringo didn't need to walk to the middle to use this jutsu it wasn't harmful. Ringo made the hand signs and he watched as light illuminated from his hands then a bright flash erupted. Ringo saw the flash but it was like he had glasses on he was not blinded at all. Ringo put his hands down. In one day Ringo had learned three very easy jutsu he would need to practice a lot with the Full body current that was obviously his best jutsu. Ringo spent the rest of the day practicing it and then taking a break building chakra then releasing over and over again. After about 15 times he couldn't muster a single drop of chakra. Ringo went to his camp and made dinner then went to bed.

DAY 3
---------
Ringo awoke and got ready for a hard day of training. He ate his ramen quickly and grabbed the Full Body Current scroll so he could study a little more and maybe learn any helpful tricks to using the jutsu better. His chakra still needed work so he planned on practicing his Full body current all day. Even though Ringo could use it he needed to learn to aim it and increase its yield and power from a harmless shock to instant electrical death. Ringo finished eating and went to the center of the field to practice the jutsu. Ringo put his hands together and began gathering chakra. Ringo was trying to control the lightning better and instead of just having it around him he wanted to be able to manipulate it and move it around him to hit targets. Ringo performed the Ram, Snake, and then Ox sign and then flung his hands in front of him. The lightning surged around him for a second then dissipated. Ringo needed a target to use it on. Ringo went back to his bag, he had brought targets for his jutsu and shuriken training. Ringo posted five targets around him on trees a few feet from camp. One target was on every side of him exactly 5 feet in every direction. Ringo began gathering chakra in the middle of the five targets. He aimed at the 2 targets in front of him first as practice. Ringo performed the hand signs and threw his hands out to the targets. A large wave came from behind and on the side of Ringo. The two small arcs of lightning struck hit the two targets a little on the sides. He wasn't very accurate yet but it was close enough. The targets on the sides of Ringo were visible to him but he had to make the chakra flow without pointing right at it this time. Ringo put his hands together and built up chakra. His aim was to get as many arcs to hit the targeted trees around him. Upon release of the chakra he instead just put his hands down to his sides. Lightning came out in 5 arcs around Ringo shooting straight from him to the trees around him. Ringo didn't hit even one target but the lightning flailed wildly for a second and hit all the trees the dissipated. Ringo had no chakra left and stopped to get his strength back for a moment. Ringo stood after about 10 minutes of resting. This time Ringo would build as much as he could then release and focus only on three targets. Ringo would use his hands but when he exerted it he would push it from the left of his arm and straight from his fingertips and he hoped it would send a forwards and sideways arc that would strike the trees. Ringo performed his three hand signs and then he focused mostly on his left arm and aimed it out in the middle of the two trees. The lighting flowed three perfect arks from around him and the three arcs shot to the targets on the left and the one he aimed for on the right. Ringo broke a smile from success. As long as he pushed the chakra off as hard as he could in the direction he wanted he could hit it perfectly. Ringo began focusing his chakra again this time attempting to do four targets though. Two on his left which he had successfully struck a little while ago and then the two to his right. Ringo performed his hand signs then flung his hands out aiming in the middle of the two trees. He split his chakra left and right from the ends of his hands. Ringo watched as four arcs exploded from around him and hit all four targets. Ringo's hands dropped immediately and became heavy again. Aiming the current was easy with his hands now, but how could he hope to get the one behind him when he couldn't aim at it. Ringo sat and thought about this for a long time and gathered back his chakra. Ringo finally stood up. This time he planned on not using his hands to guide his chakra and instead he would slam them to the ground and focus on just shooting it five ways from him. Ringo put his hands together and gathered his energy. Ringo performed his signs then this time slammed his hands to the ground his first attempt like this he wanted to only use four arcs because he knew with his hands to guide he could hit them easily. As Ringo's hands touched the ground he saw the lightning start on the ground in a ring around him about 4 feet away from him on all sides. Four arcs shot from the Ring and struck the trees three hitting perfect and the final one to the left just striking the edge of the paper target. Ringo rose impressed. When he touched the ground and used the jutsu it applied it to the ground and arced like it would from him if he conducted it instead. Ringo gathered and performed his hand signs but this time he just stood in place and exerted for his targets he had a better grasp on exertion now that he used the ground and felt each individual arc leave the ring around him. Ringo did not push out in every direction at once though this time he quickly pushed hard left and an arc followed then he pushed straight to both sides and then to the right. In order from left to right the lightning struck the targets on the trees. Ringo had figured it out. He could shoot lightning arcs from all sides but if he did it one side at a time he could aim it accurately. Ringo gathered his chakra one last time this time he would push behind him and aim for his target he couldn't see. Ringo performed his hand signs then exerted as hard as he could from his back. Ringo felt a current whip out to the tree and as he turned he saw the burnt target from were his lightning had struck. Ringo now had the ability to aim for any 5 targets around him as long as it was within about 10 feet of him. Ringo went back to his bag and got five more targets and hung them up on trees around him making it so there were now ten visible targets within 15 feet of him. Ringo began gathering energy and aimed for the first set of targets he had been practicing on and was familiar with. Ringo performed his hand signs and then kept his hands together and exerted it quickly starting from the left target to the one directly behind him. The lightning arced quickly one by one striking each target in a chain of lightning around him in less then a second. Ringo looked at the targets and then aimed around him at his new targets. Ringo would try to strike all five on his first try. He knew he could do it and began gathering his chakra one last great time. Ringo performed the Ram, Snake, then Ox hand signs and exerted it one by one quickly to the targets. Ringo saw lightning arc from him in sync and strike all the targets almost at the same exact time one by one left to right. Ringo dropped to one knee after the lightning struck all the targets perfectly. He could barely stay standing his body was like stone. Ringo slowly made his way back to the tree and camp and laid down. He could barely stay awake and it was mid afternoon. The training was very hard and he forgot he'd been practicing all day. Ringo fell asleep a moment later he couldn't have kept his eyes open if he had tried.

DAY 4
-------------------

Ringo awoke mid day due to the heat, he slept till mid day by accident. The training from the day before really had taken a tole on him and his body was soar. Ringo decided to go home he had only packed enough supplies for around five days and he didn't think he would have even stayed this long. Ringo packed up after he ate and then he began the long walk home he did not run or take a shortcut like he had before he was way to exhausted to even think about running down a cliff and through the trees home.
