Training, Open, No Killing

[Feeling under the weather for reasons I shan't tell, going to make this a short exit.]

Ari nodded happily at Zakary's progress, she was proud of her efforts at teaching. Suddenly however, she felt a cramp in her stomach. Realizing she hadn't eaten yet for yet unrecalled reasons, Ari had to make her exit. "It's been fun you two, give me a shout if you see me in future." Turning face as she spoke, Ari waved with the back of her hand facing the two. She wouldn't see them for a little while as she had a mission to attend, getting Chuunin was of utmost importance after she ate. However, the mission was tomorrow, she had yet to think about what time to arrive. Earlier was better, optimally before anyone else would arrive.
 

Ari had trained herself thoroughly for the mission, she would be prepared in her current state for anything it could throw at her; at least, she assumed this to be true. If the two she met today were to make significant progress, perhaps Ari would consider training with them again.

Zakary waved at her. "Thanks, and see you later, Ari." He hoped he'd get to train with her again. She was nice.  Once more, he tried out his clones. Once more, he released them. Again and again, he made clone after clone. Still he persisted, even though they were effective. There was a limit to his chakra, but he'd get close to it. He only needed enough to properly climb up a tree. After a few more tries and having reached a number of clones he'd lost track of, he believed, quite firmly, that he needed to rest for a few minutes.  "On to... Surface climbing." Zakary's breathing was quick, almost panting. Stop or go, stop or go. He concluded that, with Jack's help, he could learn it relatively quickly. First, he'd lay down for another break. From his floored position, he called to Jack. "Before I leave, can you help me in climbing?" His words were spaced larger than usual to allow him steady breathing time. If he finished climbing today, he'd come back to work on something else tomorrow. "You'll just have to give me a minute." Zakary, upon reflection of his current regimen, decided he'd have to keep it about this strict, because this was the quickest way to get better. "Oh God, I'm maturing and developing a goal. But what goal?" he thought. That's have to be thought of too.

Zakary, seeing his Hyuuga friend with a blank stare and the animation of a table, decided he would make his leave and work on his surface walking at a later date. As it was, he had learned clone and substitution. His stomach ached and he wanted food. As he started to walk away, he waved. "Bye, I guess." And such was his exit.

As Zakary walked away, Jack snapped out of his thought induced trance.  He had been wondering how he would become a Chuunin, with no signs of an exam soon, and him not wanting to wait much longer to rank up.  "Bye!" He shouted to Zakary as he walked away.  Realizing that he had been standing on the tree for at least an hour, he decided he was done training and that he was hungry and should eat.  His training was good, but he failed to include jutsu training into today's training, which he would need to make up for tomorrow.  He intended on training body flicker, so he could travel faster around the village and on missions in the future.  With that thought, he went down from the tree and headed out to the ramen shop to grab some ramen and head home.
