Some Core Building

Shinoskay lay forward on the forest ground, his body semi rigid with his arms arched out to his side as he conducted a number of push ups. Slowly he would lower himself down towards the earth, since the act was mundane and tedious he couldn't help but look left to right to check his arms, slowly he drew his body back upwards from the earth. He had relied on his chakra threads quite a lot to perform most of his manual labor and this left his body in a more weakened state while it allowed him to refine his chakra control but it had come time to work more on his body so that if he needed to then he would at least have some strength to rely on. Slowly he would lower himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. He had recently read that there was something called skeletal muscles, contraction of the skeletal muscles helps limbs and other body parts move and most sources that he found would state that there are somewhere around 650 skeletal muscles in the human body. Slowly he would lower himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. He remembered reading that there was some six major muscles used in a push up, slowly he would lower himself down towards the earth, it was funny to think about how this action was called a push up but since at least a part of the act was about pushing yourself up into the default position it kind of made sense, speaking of... once more he slowly drew his body back upwards from the earth.

He repeated this motion several times, slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth.. Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. It was tedius, almost numbing to conduct let alone to write out, Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. just the idea of doing this over and over again just for the sake of doing it seemed almost insane.... Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. While he was already committed to it now, he knew it was incredibly unlikely he would ever do this again because of just how annoying tedius and almost pointless it was... sure stronger shoulder muscles would be useful in casting out chakra threads, throwing tools, or drawing puppets back towards himself with greater power but there just had to be better ways to do this... Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. While conducting this action, he began to think about the little hideout he had been constructing, slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth, he thought about how he was learning about construction and experimenting with jutsu to both expediate the process and to improve its structural integrity. Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth.

His thoughts were also drawn to the chuunin exams, slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. They had announced who he would fight but he wasnt thrilled at all about the idea of fighting, let alone fighting the shinobi that had been assigned to such an important duty such as gate watching, but to also have to fight an Aburame who was one of the few clans with abilities most readily able to defeat a puppeteer. Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth, the only saving grace here was that his first fight wasnt with someone capable in genjutsu like an Uchiha. While he had only heard stories about there prowess, he felt a certain sense of excitement, longing, and fear deep in himself over the Uchiha... something almost instinctual... Slowly lowering himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. He was finally starting to feel a burn as he once more lowered himself down towards the earth before again slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth.

He knew his foe would be using Lightning jutsu, as well as they would likely use insects, he slowly lowered himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. In the academy, they taught all students about the elemental and so the young boy knew the counter to Lightning was wind, he slowly lowered himself down towards the earth before once more slowly drawing his body back upwards from the earth. His thoughts began to be more difficult now as the burn in his shoulders became more intense and he decided to switch exercises now. While he lowered himself once more, he didnt slowly rise like before... instead, this time he would thrust himself hard from the ground to draw his body up onto his knees before easily sliding his feet to underneath himself. With his feet and fingertips holding him up, but now most of his wait on his feet rather than his hands, he decided to try and go running.

Later that Night, Shinoskay found himself stretching... The odd part here was that he wasn't stretching as would be expected from a work out but he was stretching as if in preparation for something. Then, out of no where, he felt a strange and alarming heat behind him that let him know there was something extremely close to him and he didnt like it... A wierd duality began to form, the conceptual idea of two instances of possibility occurring simultaneously. In one instance he went to move but found himself bound like some kind of chain had near instantly coiled itself about him to prevent him from doing anything.... and then mere seconds later an even greater heat would bellow out and engulf him to reduce his body to cinders. In another instance, in reaction to this strange and sudden heat, the puppeteer would move as quickly as he could away from where this heat was. in tandem, both bolt forward and to form the Ram seal in order to supplement his 85 speed, with an additional 55 for an acceptable speed of 140 to move away from the heat source that spawned not even a foot behind him.

He wasn't willing to risk whatever the heat was and so rather the circle around to try and get behind it like his instinct calls for... he moved 50 meters of his body flicker movement in a single direction directly away. Then another strange duality of instances occurred... Where with one instance there was no door, only wall, before him and he simply dashed into this wall at a speed of 140. Crashing into this wooden wall and hearing the bones and soft organs rupture within him to cause him to come out the other side of the wood before landing as a pile of fleshy mess. In the other instance, there was a door before him and he cooly and smoothly passed through it before rotating around to finally see this threat... before actually looking, he took forth his sharp ninja implements and sent them flying forwards towards where the heat source was in order to end the threat swiftly.

It was such a fast thing, one second he was there... standing... preparing... the next there was just an instant flurry of actions that would either end in one of three ways... and only one of those three was in his favor but in any of them it would be over just as fast as it started. Off somewhere, in the dark, he could hear the ridicule and criticism that he had done something wrong, it was all a strange sensation....

And then he woke up, and almost immediately he forgot all about the dream.
