Speed Training

Higuto walked onto the field as he felt that he was being too lax with his training. He'd met some powerful ninja in passing, all of them with so much more experience than him, and he knew that if he was to have a chance in becoming as strong as them he'd need to train to be able to keep up with them. Speaking of catching up he felt today he would need to work on his speed in particular. He thought there was a good technique he could learn that would help him get out of a jam in the future as well as help out in improving his overall speed.

He had heard that Chuunin knew a technique known as the body flicker technique which used the users chakra to temporarily improve their overall speed and make them faster based on their chakra amounts. He wasn't a very fast one so he felt today would be perfect in trying to correct that. He took off his jacket, laying it down by a tree, and began to get in a running position. He wasn't going to do some mere jogging today. He was going to try to go as fast as he could for as long as he could.
He began to run at his top speed, running laps around the whole field as he also ran across the river of the field while utilizing his surface walking technique, as he brought up his hands to form a seal. With the Ram seal in place he began to focus his chakra into his feet as he could feel himself start to go faster and faster. His control over the chakra to initiate the jutsu was perfect but maintaining the chakra control for a long period of time was getting the better of him unfortunately. After about a good two minutes of running he felt his chakra leave his feet as he had tired himself out and he stops beside the river as he catches his breath. He stretches his legs as he hops in place and shakes them loose to get them ready for another run.

He needed to become stronger if he had any hope of helping defend his village. He had become a genin in order to be able to fight alongside other shinobi whenever called upon or appropriate but he knew that in his current state he'd be more a liability than an asset. He needed to become stronger before he could undertake in the big league missions or to stand with his fellow ninja to defend the people of the leaf and of other villages. He stood up, renewed in determination, as he began to run around the field once more while bringing his hands together. Forming the Ram sign he focused his chakra once more as he began to run faster as his feet were infused in the chakra. He continued to run as he controlled more chakra throughout his body while maintaining an even pace. "Come on, legs, don't let me down." He ran as fast and as long as he could as his chakra was being exhausted while going into his feet. Before long he couldn't keep control anymore as he stopped just short of the river and fell onto his hands and knees from the efforts.

He panted as he held himself up with his hands while thinking about how weak he was. He had seen so many other ninja being able to run so fast he had trouble keeping track and he was envious of how strong they all were. He got on one knee as he thought about his own progress. All in all he was keeping himself at a good pace with his training as he felt that most of his skills had improved since he first started to really focus on becoming a ninja. His insect control had drastically improved and his body was beginning to adjust to the lifestyle of natural strength training and exercise. He couldn't let envy at people with more experience than him bring him down as he got back up and determined that he would continue to persevere. It was his dream to become a great ninja, one that could defend his fellow ninja and friends in any situation as well as one that could one day better the state of the world, and he was going to do all he could to make certain he'd achieve that dream one day.

He took off into a run once more as he allowed himself to jog at first before he picked up his pace and ran around the field once more. Bringing his hands up again he forms the ram seal as he feel the chakra reserves within him burst and spread down his legs once again to reach his feet and boost his speed. He began to run faster and faster as he brought his hands down and focused on controlling his chakra to allow him to continue running at his speed. He kept his focus on making certain he could keep his chakra control going to allow him to continue to run faster for longer. He breathed in rhythm, trying to keep his body from giving out too quickly, as he ran all around the field. After 3 minutes of his running he felt he had exhausted his chakra enough as he came to a stop near the tree that had his jacket and sat beside it to give his legs a rest.

He stretched his body and allowed his legs to stretch out as well before he took up his jacket and put it back on. He had felt he had improved his speed a little bit as well as learned a new technique as he gave his legs a little bit more rest before he got up to his feet. He headed toward the exit, wondering if he'd take on a mission today, as he left the training field and held his head high at the prospects of the future.
