Training at Home

Haru returned home to an empty house and quickly read a note left for him on the inside of the door. it seemed his Mother would be working late which gave him plenty of time to complete his chores and perhaps even sneak in an extra training session before she got back. His mother always worried that he was overworking himself so Haru made it a habit to try and sneak in as much training as possible when she wasn't around but he was sure that she knew what he was doing. After a few hours of rest and general laziness haru decided to continue with his training form early whilst doing his chores.

Though he was very satisfied with the results of the training in his private training ground he was determined to train harder than ever before and build up a technique that he could use as trump card. After watching Hinoki and Azure's fight the previous day he wasn't certain that he could beat Hinoki's byakugan abilities at his current level and so needed to have something that would surprise him for when they inevitably would have to fight each other.

Haru gathered the cleaning gear he would need to complete his chores and began by gently infusing each piece of equipment with his chakra whilst he began cleaning. Haru figured that if he could maintain the chakra balance whilst doing a menial task it may become more situated as an unconscious action and therefore increase his skill with balancing and maintaining the chakra input. He had less trouble with infusing the chakra than with the weapons but maintaining it whilst moving and using them proved a much greater challenge than he had anticipated. whenever Haru came close to giving up he would simply picture Hinoki and all the other ninja who probably looked down on him and the rush of anger increased his focus and allowed him to push through the frustration.

It took a lot longer than usual to complete the various chores and cleaning the bathroom took over an hour as he decided to practice surface walking as well as chakra infusion. After a few embarrassing dips in the bath Haru quickly changed into his swimwear before continuing with the cleaning. With his chores complete, haru began trying to replicate the stage of chakra infusion he had obtained earlier with the Mist Singer. He found it a little easier this time and was able to maintain the balance in both the weight and the kama for an extended period. he began to extend the chakra down the chain cautiously, infusing every link   was time consuming and difficult but haru was extremely patient and began viewing the task as simply another hunt. Sweat began to form on his brow as he had covered perhaps a third of the chain and he decided to increase the speed which he spread his chakra and trust more on instinct than over analyzing the technicalities. Though studying the doctrine of technique is important Haru reflected that he had already achieved the basic understanding and usage but simply had to practice applying it and learning to use it without having to focus on it.

"Yes!" . haru let out an uncharacteristic cheer as he managed to completely cover the Mist Singer with his chakra and maintain the flow and balance so that it felt more like and extension of his body than it usually did in training. haru gave the weight a few test swings and was instantly relieved that it appeared to remain stable. Haru realized that it was getting darker and decided to clear the living room table out of the way so he could practice more complex fighting patterns to test how much focus he required to maintain the technique.

A few times he nearly lost control whilst running on the ceiling or walls but it was definitely a good sign of improvement and he found that having the chakra infused with the weapon mad the handling feel more natural due to the connection it had with his body, the sensation was nice but still a little strange. He released the chakra and sat down with the intention to rest for a moment before continuing training. "Wake up honey. long day? dinners on the table". haru was woken up by hi Mother voice and a cool hand running through his hair and he jumped a little, startled that he had fallen asleep before relaxing and hiding a sad smile. Almost like how it was before dad left . Haru shook his head before returning Mist singer to its case in his room and he shivered a little as he realized he hadn't changed back into his normal clothes. After changing he decided to call it a day for training and returned to the living room to tell hi mother about his day.
