Tai training (Kirino)

Love headed to the training grounds about ten minutes before twelve o'clock noon. The weather was rather nice, not too warm nor too cold. The sky was a wonderful blue with a few clouds here and there. Love's objective for today was to learn some new taijutsu. Love spent about five more minutes walking before she reached the training grounds. Once there she began looking around for the lady with long white hair she'd seen training here once before.

(First time starting a topic, I hope this is ok.)

Sure enough the white haired girl was around and had her nose to the grind once more as she extended a fist towards the midsection of a training dummy. There was a brief pause and in that pause the mannequin went flying in the other direction and smashed into a tree. Foxxy pulled the thing back into the girl’s vicinity so that she could take a look. It seems like I need to learn control, now that I’ve gained this amount of strength. A quick blow to the mid-section like that should not force objects to fly away from me, training would take longer if they started to. Picking up the thing she went back to work on her own training.

She felt the muscles in her arm and wrist as her hand was launched forward and attempted to reduce the impact. It was a success in that the item wasn’t punched as far, but it was launched none the less. The fox sat and stared until it landed and it was again time to fetch. ”The living are so much better to practice on.” She sighed at the dummy while looking for a replacement. Maybe the girl looking around would do or maybe another inanimate object, the second was probably better according to the villages philosophies.

Walking in the direction of Love the girl smiled briefly and waved and gripped the straw mannequin in her arms and was about to make her way back to where she was a moment ago. ”Are you looking for someone?  I saw some people go over there a little bit ago.” Kirino said while pointing her finger in another direction. She would continue to point for ten seconds before putting her hand down, don’t need people walking into her finger and then get sent flying.

(Don't worry its fine, just remember that the longer the post the more things you can train within.)

Woah! Love thought as she watched the training dummy fly through the air. She didn't know what jutsu that was but she'd love to learn it. Love excitedly waved back to the white haired girl as she approached her. "Are you looking for someone?  I saw some people go over there a little bit ago.” Love looked in the direction the girl was pointing but turned back shaking her head. "I was looking for you!" She told her. "I've seen you here training every now and then. I noticed that you're good at taijutsu and wanted to ask if you would teach me?" Love looked into the girl's green eyes with her pupiless white ones. "I'm Love by the way." She said smiling.

Love nodded when the girl repeated her statement as a question. Yes! Love smiled brightly when she agreed to train her. "Pleasure's mine." Love observed as closely as she could without having the byakugan activated. It was then her turn to demonstrate her power. Instinctively Love stood in the gentle fist stance then did exactly as Kirino had; slowly extending her left arm. As she did this her open palm turned into a fist and she simultaneously pulled back her right arm. Tapping her knuckle against the dummy she returned to her original position slightly faster than she had extended her arm. Love took a deep breath, using about 90% of her strength, she then struck the inanimate being. Sending it only about a two yards away she looked at Kirino with a blank face.

”I’ve seen that stance before.” Kirino mentioned as the girl executed her attack and didn’t send the dummy very far. Well I can’t train her to fight like Maloren as I don’t quite know why he battles like that himself. ”I can’t show you anything that involves fighting in that way, it looks like you need to work on speed and power though.” It sounded like an evaluation of the movements, but Kirino was looking to see if the girl would up her game. If she were a spy of the leaf she would have to be angry inside over the comment.


”I can show you a kick, that is useful to learn other attacks with.” Taking up a stance the Kaguya began to demonstrate the leaf gale. She would do it once more to allow Love a second chance to get the technique down in case she had missed a movement or two the first time. When she was finished she moved to the side for the girl to perform the gale.

"The gentle fist. It's the Hyuga trademark, well other than the byakugan." She replied. "Yea, strength and speed are my weak points." She said rubbing the back of her head. It was kind of embarrassing since Hyuga were supposed to be fast, Love didn't dwell on it much though. It was her decision to focus on ninjutsu instead of tai, but in order to be a great ninja she would need to know more than the gentle fist so here she is.


"Ok." Love watched as Kirino performed the move. Seems simple enough. Love thought to herself. "Here goes nothin'" Love began to spin then crouched down and kicked out her leg. She managed to keep her balance and was unaffected by the spin but still felt that she had done something wrong. "I wasn't fast enough, was I?" She asked as she stood up.

Well no, not really. Kirino thought as she watched the full motion. "It will get faster as you practice it, that is a sure fire way to get better." Standing next to the girl Kirino performed the kick once more slowing it down, for the girl to see the full movement. After that she used the technique once more but at a speed that would be used in an actual battle or fight. "It is a fast kick, but the momentum behind it is supposed to raise its power and speed. Once, you learn this kick I can show you another. You almost have this one down, just do what you did before. Be more steady though and throw some of your body into the kick, for some extra force."

(It will take only 625 words for you to learn leaf whirlwind due to being taught, I think you have about four to five hundred or so at the moment. So you are almost there, then we can move onto leaf gale.)

That makes sense. She thought in response to Kirino's reply to her previous question. Love watched as she did the kick slow and then fast, she listened to the words being spoken to her. Then nodded a nonverbal "OK". The part about throwing her body into the spin confused Love so she closed her eyes and took a moment to think about it. As she thought she remembered seeing her clansmen training to learn the rotation. Assuming the gentle fist stance once more she began to spin, but instead of remaining standing she crouched down and kicked out her leg. This time when she did it she could feel her body moving faster than it had in her previous attempt, Love opened her eyes mid spin, doing so made it feel more natural. When she'd stopped moving Love stayed in the position a little longer to make sure that she wouldn't forget the feeling. "Better?" She asked when she was standing once more.

"The movements were accurate along with everything else, but you need to keep your eyes open. Otherwise, you leave yourself open to an attack." The leaf gale seemed to be correct, so Kirino then made the movements for the next kick. "This move is the leaf whirlwind, it is an additional attack to the one you just learned. Try the kick by itself first, then as it becomes familiar add it to the leaf gale." With that the Kaguya demonstrated the full technique, before moving out of the way to let Love have room to practice.
