Hikari Namikaze

Spoiler:

(But no ribbon in the hair, and short shorts underneath the skirt)

Hikari Namikaze took a step out of the woman’s locker room and took a look at the gym she was at.
The inspiration behind the gym she was at. (Looks a little more like something that would be in the ninja academy In Hoshigakure)

Spoiler:

            She had been learning how to use ninjutsu and weapons, but at this point she hasn’t taken any real chances to learn Taijutsu. In Hikari’s ninja academy class she took today, she learned of some basic punching and kicking, and Hikari felt like it was time to use them. She looked down at her out-fit though, she was told that her current white combat gear was probably not the best to train in and needed to find another outfit to do her grind in. She wanted to go to the store and buy one, but unfortunately, she was out of cash at the moment, and there were no missions available to academy students. Yet another reason the ninja academy student had to become a Genin soon, she needed money. The chestnut haired girl wanted another outfit though, so she opened up a box with what remained un-stolen from her parents after they had their …. Early demise…

After searching through the boxes of stuff, Hikari had come across an old clothes box that was left from her. Looking through it, there wasn’t much in the way of training outfits (As tavern keeps, they both were very modest and didn’t do a lot of working out, so there clothes were mostly long and hard to move around in.) After about ten minutes of looking Hikari found it, a set of clothes she heard her mother wore but never thought it was real. It was a cheerleading outfit which Hikari’s mom was forced to wear due to a dare when she was Hikari’s age. Usualy, Hikari’s mother would never wear keep something so reveling, but she had met her future husband wearing that, so it was a little bit special to them. Hikari took a deep breath, trying to fight back tears seeing this, it was one of the only stories Hikari was told by her parents about themselves. That being said, it looked like Hikari found her outfit.

            Namikaze looked around the room it was pretty late in the day, about ten at night when she came to the gym to train, the young girl did this on purpose because she always liked the quiet and having less people around would be better, and also she was hoping no one would see her in her training outfit. With that, the sixteen-year-old girl would walk up and start getting to work on one of the punching bags. Hikari would start with throwing a right hook to the bag. Her fist connected bag and it got pushed back a little bit, not a lot, although after her fist connected with the bag, she pulled it back and shook it. “Ow!” The future Kunochi would yell out as she held her hand, the bag was heavy, and her light small fist felt like it was hurt more by the punch rather than the bag. It was soft, but Hikari tried to hit it with such force that she felt like her fist was hurt more than the bag. She would back away a little bit from the bag and looked at her hand, perhaps she was doing it wrong? Hikari would decide to wait until she figured out about that before continuing, and would move on to kicks. Hikari would throw a kick which if someone was taking it, would connect to their body area. Hikari would make the connection to the bag with the middle of her shin and the bag would go back a bit more than it did before. While this did hurt, it didn’t hurt the same way as her hand did when she was throwing it then. Hikari would back away and readjust, it felt a lot better than when she tried to punch it earlier, and it appeared to do more this time. She figured she would go ahead and try it. The young tavern girl would try again, this time the same result happened except she went a little bit lower than before. The kick connected about where the upper thy would be, and it would be kicked back further.

            Happy at what she was doing, Namikaze would try to do a complete combination this time. She would try one low kick, one mid kick, and one high kick. Hikari would try to aim low at first, trying to start out her combo right and it would connect perfectly on Hikari’s shin. After that, Namikaze would try another hit to the center of the target, another perfect connection to the shin. Finally, as Hikari would aim up to the top of the bag, where the head would be and higher than she kicked before, the area that connected her foot with her leg was what made the contact and as Hikari pulled it back and put wait on it, she fell to the ground, collapsing as she couldn’t put any wait on her leg. She held it and bit her lower lip as to try to not cry out in pain. Namikaze held her ankle and rolled around with it for a bit before the pain calmed down and she was able to put some weight on her leg again. What was that?! The pain shot into her more than before with her hand, what was going on with that? Hikari would sit up and rub her ankle and lower leg as she looked around, it still appeared like no one had entered the room. She was glad that she didn’t make a fool of herself in front of normal people again. She slowly started to stand up and try to put weight on her leg, her ankle appeared to hold up this time, and while still hurt, wasn’t nearly as bad as it was before. She would jump around on it, going back and forth on each of her legs, and it was still holding up. Hikari would take a deep breath and was ready to try again. She tried to do another kick, this time a lot slower in an attempt to make sure that her leg wouldn’t give out on her. As her shin connected with the heavy bag, it didn’t appear to have the same problem. Hikari took a deep breath and tried to do another kick at full speed and it connected with her shin again, it didn’t hurt her like it did before so she was happy with that.

            That being said, she didn’t feel comfortable with continuing after that, so she decided to take a break from the bags and looked around to see what else she could do. She saw some weights but didn’t want to touch that because she was scared that she would get supper buff from it. (Note: To all children, do not use weights without knowing what you are doing with them, you WILL mess up your body.) After looking around, and found something. It was a long red jump rope that she found in a box with other items. She grabbed it and would move to where she start to try to do it.

            This was the first time Hikari had ever done jump rope. She had always been quick on her feet, jumping from stone to stone in her secret pond when she was a kid, and she was always quick on her feet, as such she was able to get the hang of it pretty quickly, started of slow, then going faster, and faster and faster, to the point that the rope was more of a blur than a single rope. She was able to keep this up for about a hundred and twenty seconds before she had to slow down and stop due to exhausted, Hikari took a note that stamina was something she needed to work on. After taking a few minute break and getting some water, she picked up the rope and started jumping it again. She was able to go for about one hundred seconds before she had to stop because of exhaustion.

            She took a minute to recover again before getting back to her training, she didn’t want to continue with the jump rope, so would look around to find another thing to do. Looking around the gym, she found another a pair of ankle weights. She looked at them and they were only about 3 pounds, but felt that they were going to be good for training, so she put them on. Hikari could feel them on her legs as she walked around, but they weren’t at the point that she felt like she couldn’t do anything she could normally do. After that, she didn’t see anything she wanted to do specifically, so the kunochi would figure she would do some cardio. She went back to her little area that was free of weights and of punching bags, so, Hikari would start to do some jumping jacks, as her body jumped up and down, her hands going up to above her head and back down to her side, she would start to feel the weights on her legs taking affect. Just those six extra pounds felt like they were doing a lot! How do heavier people handle having to do any sort of physical activity with some much weight on them? She stopped after a minute and counted that she did sixty-four jumping jacks. Sitting down and taking the small ankle weights off of her body, she laid down on her back and took a deep breath, her stamina was quite drained, doing jumping jacks with those small leg weights was incredibly exausting!

            The girl in the cheerleader outfit sat up as she panted, her body was drenched in sweat. She felt icky and was tempted to call it a night, but she knew she hadn’t done all that much work, and she needed to outwork everyone else if she was going to make it to gennin and Chunin before she was 18. Hikari would stand up and do her jumping jacks again taking a deep breath. “Come on Namikaze,” The ninja told herself, “Just one more set.” She would start to do her jumping jacks, this time without the weights. Her goal was to see if she could beat her last time. Her sweaty long fair arms went up and down as she jumped up and down, as quick as she could, trying to beat 64 jumping jacks inside a single minute. Hikari would start out a little bit slow, looking like she wasn’t going to make it, but she would start pushing herself “Come on ……. Faster…….” Hikari would pick up speed. “More…” She would pick up a little bit of speed, at the 55 second point, she was at 58, “Make it!” And a minute passed and Hikari had done…. 63 jumping jacks in a minute. Hikari would collapse to the floor, laying on her back, her breast coming in an out as she was gasping for air. She was short of her goal! The soon to be Kunochi bawled her hand up into a fist and slammed it into the ground, hurting her hand but she didn’t care that much. Her body felt absolutely exhausted at this point, but she knew she had more to do. After a few minutes of rest, letting oxygen back into her lungs, she sat up and tried to slow her breath to a more stable rate. When she was able to slow her breathing, she got up and went to get some water from the water fountain. When she got there and relived herself with some ice cold water passing through her lips and going down her neck, she looked up and saw a poster. It was a poster explaining about protecting your hands with hand wraps! It explained that that was how some one’s hands were able to stop from being hurt when the hands are protected by hand wraps. Hikari would go into the box under the poster and find a pair of blue hand wraps that would go with her outfit currently and started to slowly wrap the cloth around her hands. She looked up at the instructions every once and a while to make sure she was doing it correctly, and took care to wrap her long slender fingers to make sure that they were well protected also. After taking about five minutes to wrap her hands, she felt fairly confident in what she had done and went back to the punching back.

            Hikari would step up to the punching bag and take a deep breath as she prepared for her combination. She moved up did a quick one – two punch on the bag, not using all her power at of fear of her hands getting hurt again. However, as her hands collided with the bag, she would feel almost now pain thanks to the cloth around her slender hand made contact with the training bag. She would move back and try to do another one punch, this time putting some more effort in it (Still scared to swing with full power however). As she did, she felt the wraps this time not only absorb the impact of the punch on her knuckles, but also the impact of the punch around her wrists support the punch and where her wrist might usually buckle, they instead held up against the pressure and she felt more power come from her hands. She pulled her hands back and looked down at her pale hands, this felt more powerful and safer than what she was doing before, but she still needed to try doing it with full power. Hikari would take a deep breath before holding up her hands and trying to punch again at full power. She performed a left straight followed up by a right hook, the left straight pushing back the bag more than she had ever before, and then the right hook pushed it back even further still! Hikari would take a deep breath and look down at her hands again, no pain, this was an awesome exercise!
            The chestnut haired girl would take a deep breath and get back to work, this time, she figured that she should probably try to move in place rather than standing still, after all, if she were ever to try to punch in combat, she would probably have to be dodging other shots while she was punching. Hikari would take a deep breath and start to skip a little bit from the left and right as she continued her strikes.
            Left straight, step to the left, right straight, step to the right, right hook, take a step into the dummy, left upper cut, take a step back, left hook, move to the right, right hook, left hook, step in, right uppercut. Hikari’s mind just went on auto pilot as she continued to punch the training bag. Her hands did start to feel a little bit sore after all these punches, but for the most part it felt like her hands were ok. As she went into auto pilot, her mind started to wander, first to the young genin that had been so nice to teach her how to control her chakra, what was his name? After a minute, Hikari remembered it was Shouhei Sato, a young teenager who had come across her while she was throwing kunai. Left straight, step to the left, right straight, step in to the dummy, left upper cut, step back, step to the left, left straight, As her mind continued to wander, she would think back to her time when she would train under the open night sky, the nice breeze, those quite nights alone, out for hours. Left straight, dodge to the left, right straight, move in, right upper cut, left upper cut, move out. But those days were gone forever now. Right hook, left straight, move in, right upper cut, left hook, back up, left straight, right straight, move to the right, Right hook. Hikari started to recall the events of that fateful day when her parents were slaughtered, a big deal noble was coming to Hikari’s parrent’s tavern and was bringing a lot of big name noble’s with him. Left hook, right straight, left straight Hikari hadn’t even trained the night before even though it was a clear sky and the perfect weather for it. She had gone to bed early and got up early so she could spend extra time doing chores and preparing for that day. The Noble’s were coming in at noon and Hikari’s family had closed down the little tavern to the public for such a big night. Right hook, left hook, right straight, left hook. The noble’s party had been going on for a few hours when suddenly, the door got knocked in. Right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook. A group of about a dozen bandit’s charged in, with swords and large knifes, cutting down anyone they could. There were about 20 people in the tavern when they were attacked, about 5 nobles each of them with two guards (Hikari guessed there might have been more outside, but never saw them), Hikari, her mother (Alice Namikaze), her father (Sendo Namikaze), her older brother (Kage Namikaze) and her younger sister (Anna Namikaze). The garuds were caught by surprise and most of them were cut down before they knew they were under attack. Anna was in the back, towards more where the family slept so she was out of the way, Hikari, Alice and Sendo were waiting tables and Kage was in the back cooking. Right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook. Hikari cried out and the nobles tried to flee but were killed fairly quickly. Sendo tried to tackle one of the assailants down, but as he tackled him down another two bandits would cut him into pieces. As Hikari and Alice tried to flee to the back, Kage came out and tried to run some one down with a cooking knife. A bandit, a bigger one who looked like he might be in charge, easily deflected the pathetic stab Kage tried and in his next strike, took his long curved katana and stabbed him in half. Right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook. The bigger bandit then proceeded to move up to crying Alice and a scared stiff Hikari, Alice would stand in between Hikari and the man, begging for their life’s but the man stab her in the gut and let her fall on Hikari. Right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook. Hikari’s memories got fuzzy from there she doesn’t quite know how she survived, she remembers the bandit’s frisking the bodies and looting the house of anything valuable. She remembered her own soft and pure body being patted down as she laid motionless on the floor, covered in her mother’s blood and under her body, until they found Hikari’s small little money sack that she kept around her waist. Right hook! Left hook! Right hook! Left hook! She felt it taken from her and saw the other’s taken, as she laid there, scared to the petrification, unable move, or react. Eventually the bandits left, and more people (Ninja’s, more noble guards, random people who saw the events from afar, Hikari doesn’t know who) came in and found her alive.

            At this point, Hikari’s felt like it collapsed on her next hook and she was forced to stop. She held her right hand and examined it, the white slender hand had gotten bruised and was quite damaged by the constant combo’s and non-stop punches she had been doing. Her hands were quite bruised and hurt, towards the end there she was probably throwing her punches to hard. She shook her hand in the air before starting to take the wraps off. She probably had done enough for today, as she looked down at her bruised hands, to think just a few months ago, these hands only real purpose was to make tea in a small tavern. Hikari would fall to her back and look up to the ceiling of the arena. Her mind started to wander towards how her parents had been killed by those bandits, and Hikari would clench her teeth and her hands, which she would then stop because her hands would scream out in pain as she would, Hikari was definitely done for the night. She would slowly get up from her back and started to wrap up the hand wraps she had borrowed and put them back into the bin that she had found them in. Hikari would also take a minute to return the jump rope she had found to where it belonged, and took a bit of time to clean off the punching bag she had been using with a towel so that the next person that used it wouldn’t have to touch her sweat that had been flying around. She would then collect all her bag that she brought in and proceeded to the locker room so that she could take a shower before heading home.
