Now isn't the time to grow soft (Solo/Training)

The sun had long sense risen from the east and had now perched itself in the center of the sky, A young man sitting at his desk watching the clock with a bored almost depressed look on his face. It finally clicked to the 12 and was only 2.5 seconds later than it should have been, Taiga stood from his desk and walked out of the building as it had come to his attention he only had to be at that desk for 3 hours a day. His time was up and he was now free, it seemed sad to say but being a leader was almost like being a prisoner with great benefits. He was now standing in the plaza in front of the administration building which meant nothing to him he needed to travel to a place where he could train to his hearts contempt, but the only place was the field on the other side of town. Damn... That is going to be a decent run... he began to think to himself, but it didn't deter his plan of growing stronger as he sprinted off towards the fields he had decided to train in. After a 20 minute run to get to these fields Taiga was satisfied at the option in which he had, a wide and open plain area meaning no hiding just direct combat which was perfect. He began to prepare to start the fight with himself as he signed a ram seal, he had left his Zanatou at home to make it a simple battle with a strong resource gone from the equation. The dirt in front of him lifted in a swirling motion being drawn together slowly forming the figure of a man, which then slowly converted to a replica of Taiga which had a devious smirk on his face as he drew his katana and pointed it at Taiga's throat. The distance was perfect as the blades tip was barely touching his throat, Taiga smiled as he was replaced with a log he had seen on the walk into the field. "So are you ready to kick this fight off now?" The original Taiga said as he was standing 8 meters from his clone who nodded his head smirking still.

Taiga was standing there his black cloak flowing towards the west as an eastern wind blew through, his short hair was being pushed by the light winds as well. Taiga was actually excited to be fighting again so a little smirk was now on not only the clones face but his too, but that could also lead to mistakes. Being overly excited could cause one to make a mistake and where one is made many follow, he reached to his side grasping his katana drawing it slowly. He admired the field once again noting it was 100 meters in length and width meaning none of his attacks would render the whole field useless but it would ruin half, his hand know holding the fully drawn katana was pointing the blade at his opponent who intern was pointing his katana at hims sense the start. With a sudden moment it was dead silent and the two had disappeared in their speedy movements, only thing that could be heard as they bounced around the field colliding was the katana blades scrapping against one another. They were blocking each other at every turn, with a little luck someone would break through and come into contact. Taiga was at a dis advantage though as it seemed his clone was nearly invincible as it could reform if broken, but that made the training even harder. The clashing continued till the strongest one of all, they collided and sent out a shock wave of air pressure due to the immense speed they were using plus Taiga's strength into this congregation. They stood both in a position like they had just swung the blade down but collided blades, the sparks from the blades dignified the intensity of the combat situation. The pure facial expressions would reveal how much pressure was between the two blades, then it seemed Taiga's pressure had weakened so the clone glanced to his hands noticing the transition from on seal to the next. He began to worry about what seals may have already been signed, and it would have seemed Taiga was currently on the final seal which was the Tiger seal. It appeared the other must have been a illusion to trick the clones mind, as he spit a flaming dragons head from his mouth. The massive dragon impaled the torso of the clone, the shock from the hit caused the clone to be carried back in an airborne fashion by the dragon head. Upon impact the clones eyes had gone solid white often a sign of deathly pain, and they had widened to their max showing it was to powerful to bare. The head then slammed him body and all to the ground exploding, it destroyed the clones body leaving him a pathetic pile of dirty. Then he swirled up forming the replica of Taiga once more, though his face was different as he had suffered a traumatizing attack which would keep him more cautious in the future of this fight.

The clone shifted to a fighting stance with no weapons, he nodded at Taiga which to them both meant 'Do you accept?' which lead to Taiga in turn nodding back to him. He too entered the fighting stance the other was already in, they were to now fight completely with hand to hand honor. This meant they could not use weapons or jutsu, but solely their physical strength alone. Taiga and his clone charged each other, Taiga had swung his right fist aiming for a direct face hit on the clone who had blocked it with his left forearm in a swiping motion. He in return sent a palming like thrust to Taiga's abdomen which landed causing Taiga's mouth to open and a minor amount of spit to be knocked out, Taiga then returned to normal in an instant by grabbing onto the clones right forearm and swing him completely over Taiga and crashing down on to his back. The fight continued on and on the fight going back and forth one winning one moment then losing to the other the next, now that they had switched to hand to hand they had unleashed their own hell as the fight would last for a very long time against one another. Taiga and the clone were trading blow after blow as the fight intensified, it seemed like it would last a lifetime till the clone made a mistake and over lead a strike causing him to lose balance. In this occurrence Taiga drove up with a knee and then with a spin kick he knocked the clone flying across the field, he sprinted catching up to the clone and then struck quick and precise decapitating the clone with pure strength. The fight would end there it would seem because Taiga left the field, he knew growing was far from happening anytime soon but this warm up was better than nothing. Taiga could be seen slowly vanishing into the village leaving nothing but a burnt and dirt covered field in his wake.
