Working for those Gains
Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:07 am
Well I’ll be damned! Taishi would think to himself, unsure about what it was he was looking at. The mountains looked… odd. Almost like mouths of some sort, and three of them. This was definitely something he would remember, as one doesn’t see such strange formations every day. Such a wondrous sight truly made this frozen landscape worth checking out. He was glad that he didn’t simply ignore such a beautiful place on his way to another.
The cold was bitter, and the snow halfway up his calves. Taishi had no intentions of dying out here because of the cold, and to be fair this had been the warmest day he could recall in the past week, though that really wasn’t saying much.
If there was one thing that he knew could keep him warm, it was getting his blood pumping. Perhaps some training to warm the muscles? He honestly could really use it, since he hadn’t anywhere near enough skill to go and take on whatever forces had been located in Sunagakure. There was treasure to be found there… he could simply feel it. Did he have any real evidence to go on? Nope, but what seeker of fame and fortune ignores their gut instincts?
Taishi would begin his training with some simple target practice. He would use Doton: Moving Earth Core Technique to lift up the earth behind a lone tree. This would of course be so that if he were to miss the target (the tree) he wouldn’t throw the weapons so far away that they would be near impossible to find in the deep snow. This way they would all either lodge into the tree, the earth behind it, or fall to the ground right in front of the man-made earthen structure.
Taishi would begin by practicing launching shuriken at the tree in attempts to be as accurate as possible. Most of the weapons managed to strike true, digging into the side of the tree with ease. Some did not though, instead shifting in the air and going past the tree. Luckily he had accounted for this to happen and they simply dug into the earth behind it. The warrior wasn’t particularly fond of shuriken, but they did tend to do what he needed and that was to take down a target at a range that melee simply wouldn’t be feasible. Until he had gained more mastery over Ninjutsu, he would simply have to use more mundane (and pointy) ways to dispatch foes from a distance.
He would go and retrieve the weapons, making sure that they all still held their edge. They were old, and so he had to keep an eye out to make sure they remained sharp. The last thing you would want to do is strike someone with a dull blade. If too dull, it would simply prove ineffective at cutting anything at all. If not completely dull, it would cut unevenly, ripping and tearing at the intended target and possibly throwing off ones desired motion. And throwing weapons? What will you do with a blunt shuriken, bludgeon someone to death? Actually, that may work now that he thinks about it.
The warrior would throw them again, this time with a bit more force behind the throw. He wanted in increase their velocity, but needed to not sacrifice accuracy to do so. It didn’t matter how much force was behind the attack if it never hit the intended target. Only about half of them managed to strike the tree, most of the volley missing entirely. It was honestly a bit disappointing really. He expected a bit more from himself, and would continue to practice until he could throw the shuriken as swiftly and forcefully as he could while retaining perfect accuracy. This practice session took a whopping three hours to complete. One thing was for sure though, he wasn’t cold, as his blood was surely pumping now.
Now was time to work on some more of those nifty Ninjutsu abilities. Every single time Taishi would channel his Earth Chakra he would feel a rush, a surge of power welling up within him. The exact feeling was simply something he couldn’t find the proper words to describe. For lack of more poetic terms, it was exhilarating.
He would focus his chakra, allowing it to flow through him freely at times and damming it off at some places to force it to pool into certain areas more than others. Controlling when and where the chakra was flowing, it began to feel like Taishi was gaining a pretty significant grasp on it.
Taishi would wonder what else he could do with this power, other than simply manipulating the earth around him (which is probably the coolest shit Taishi had ever truly seen). He would focus this chakra into his hand, and then into the weapons in his hands. Honestly, he wasn’t sure if this would work but if you asked him a few months ago if he could move large bodies of earth with just his will and some hand seals he would have looked at you like you were stupid.
Sure enough, he would try to focus the chakras of his body. He could almost feel himself getting lighter, though just barely. He would try and use this newfound “lightness” to increase the velocity of his thrown weapons, but it simply did not work. No newfound heights of speed, no “super throws” that would split the tree in half. No, there seemed to be no difference. Maybe his hunch was wrong? Nah that could not be possible. No, he simply must not have been doing something correctly. Yeah, it wasn’t that it was impossible, just that he currently sucked too much to do it right… wait, that doesn’t sound right. He didn’t suck. It was INEXPERIENCE that was holding him back. Yeah, that sounds like a much better way to express his lack of training and overall “suckiness”.
Taishi would pack up his things, making sure he had all of his shuriken. It was going to be a long, cold day ahead of him.
