Training : The Hunt is On (p)

*Huff, HuFf* Panting yogimiru runs through the brawny thicket that is the konoha forest, racing in hot pursuit the young man was determined to capture his target. The dense forestry offered a harsh obstacles, thick and broad trees that spread sporadic as far as the eyes can see.  the bramble of shrubs offered plenty of areas for his prey to escape. Darting through the shrubs following the rustle and billowing moans of his prey yogi chased restlessly
Being lead by his prey deeper into the woods, the density of the terrain became more treacherous to navigate. This would give the young mans prey the edge, suddenly the rustles and noise of his prey dissipated into the depths and darkness of the woods. Refusing to give up yogimiru was determined to succeed, "Byakugan" using his ace in the hole the young boy activates his doujutsu granting him unparalleled vision of the area.

Casting the area into a black and white overtone yogimiru was able to see everything in a 360-degree radius, the towering trees and the bulking undergrowth becoming transparent at will. The boys eye's darted around the area as he came to a stand still, observing the area intently yogi knew his target couldn't have ran that far. Reaching into his equipment pouch and pulling out 2 shuriken and 1 kunai he prepared himself. Yogimirus vision was unquestionably extraordinary quickly identifying several forms of life around him, before zeroing in on his prey.

Located to yogimiru's three o'clock covered by a bramble of thick shrubs stood yogimiru's prey "There," he thought to himself launching a single shuriken flying towards the location hoping to pierce the thicket and the beast or at the very least startle it. Reaching its target the latter happened, Startled and pushed into a corner the beast emerged standing a towering four feet, with a colossal bulking frame bearing a weight of 140 kilograms was yogimirus prey.

Its strong legs began to cock and stamp at the ground readying a charge at the boy. The boar that stood across from yogimiru was a intimating enemy it's thick skin armoured by a layer of dried mud combined with its hardened bones and skull made it a difficult target. With a might groan the hog charged towards yogi with all its might, Responding by launching his remaining drawn kunai and shuriken while simultaneously darting out of the swines path, yogi intended to see if the projectiles could even pierce the beast.
Swiftly reaching their target the light shuriken simply bounces off from the muddy armour of the beast, however the extra weight of the kunai allowed it to penetrate the swine barely piercing the animals flesh, Missing yogimiru as it charged and being hit with a projectile the boar became enraged storming towards yogi with a furious charge once more, Noting that his projectiles where to little effect yogimiru would now try a taijutsu technique.

(Occ : the palm bottom technique failed but the Ap cost will remain)

Applying chakra to his hands and allowing the boat to close distance when the beast was in striking distance yogimiru would attempt the gentle fist style technique, palm bottom. The rampaging boar rapidly closed the distance. Yogimiru responding by stepping the beast and with all his force driving his palm into the chest of the boar.  Letting out soul curting scream the boar hit by the blow bounced of yogis palm quickly scampering into a retreat. "That technique should have easily shut the boar down. I still need practice" Yogi thought to himself leaping into pursuit.

Trailing the boar once more yogimiru's byakugan made navigating the bramble of forestry immensely easier leaping from the ground to trees, utilizing his limbs like that of a monkey and swinging and leaping from place to place. Never losing track of the boar the young man had been on enough hunts to realise that this would directly lead into a war of attrition.

It had been hours, the boar had lead yogimiru in so many directions trying to lose him the young man was not even quite sure where he was anymore, the landscape had uttered with the density of trees thinned out, the shrubbery slightly succeed and the presence of a natural water source was becoming present. Knowing that the beast would possess enough energy to fight one last time yogi pushed forward racing ahead of the boar to cut it off, forcing the lumbering beast to attack once more.

The ultimate confrontation would cause the death of the beast, pushed to exhaustion yogimiru was desperate for food and the bountiful harvest that was the thick meaty boar standing before him was his prize. The boar and young man stood staring at one another as if their souls were exchanging before the pair launch towards one another, racing at the beast yogimiru easily out speed the creature, stoping short of the beast and spreading his legs granting him the power to generate a fatal blow. His legs drive into his hips spinning his body and rotating his torso around the boar sending a driving palm into the soft underbelly of the tanky creature.

Gentle fist: Palm bottom, the power of his speed and chakra combined to successfully pull of the technique. Upon connection the impact of the blow would result in sending the boar flying and striking a nearby tree. Seeing the lifeforce drain from the creature yogimiru new that the deed had been dealt, Bowing at the boar as if to show respect for its life the young man secured the corpse hauling it behind him with considerable difficulty towards the sound of water.

The hunt had taken hours and the light from the sun begun to dwimmer through the forest as the afternoon had begun to pass to evening, the dwindling light was projecting shadows and presenting a unknown danger. The preditors where begin to emerge using the low levels of light to seek and capture their prey, "This is bad" yogi thought to himself, not having found a camp site the difficulty of dragging his kill was greatly slowing him down. Reaching a clearing from the forest, the dense maze of trees sub seeded.

The scene was picturesque the clearing spanned in a circular motion with a diameter roughly one hundred meters in length, Standing tall in the middle of the clearing was a tree proud and tall, practically giving a mythical presence the magnitude of the size was mind boggling, standing hundreds of metres tall and easily forty meters wide the garantuan spectical was something to behold, laying beside it darted a fresh water stream curving around large standing boulders populating the area. "This is excellent" the young man thought to himself being inspired by the stunning vision.

Pulling the corpse of the boar close to the stream yogimiru readied the butchery of the beast, washing his hands and cleaning the beast the yogi pulled a kunai from his pouch driving into it soft underbelly of the corpse. Employing all his force, he dragged his arm down slitting a vertical line down the length of the belly releasing its bowels and inurns. The smell was horrific it was the smell of death, the warmth of the fresh kill could instantly be felt. Not being affected yogimiru continued to break down the meat directly moving to skinning the creature.

The game had been cleaned and skinned and was ready to be broken down, "Alrighty next, I need a fire" Gathering the skin and inurns of the beast and placing them 200 meters away from his camp. The forest bore plenty of resources easily finding dry wood and stones to create a fire pit. Utilizing the dried grass plants of the area to catch fire yogimiru takes two fibrous rocks and striking them together to produce a spark.

A few minutes pass yogimirus previous experience helped directly obtaining a fire, the fire would offer a significant source of warmth and to ward off the preditors of the night. Using some of the remaining lumber yogi creates a makeshift a frame food hanger to prepare his meat. Moving onto the massive amount of meat he had to butcher, the young man washes his kunai and returns to carving out various cuts of meat.

Hours had passed as yogimiru set up his camp site and started cooking off his kill, the sun had long left the horizon casting a shadowed blanket over the sky. Finally, having time to explore his surrounding the young man wondered the clearing gravitating towards the towering tree, reaching its base yogimiru reached out placing his hand on the trunk. The solid and hardened element of the aged and broad tree was resistant like steel, drawing his palm from the trunk yogimiru launches a firm attack directly into it.

The impact that was able to kill a boar left little to no effect on the tree, a credit to the strength of the archaic structure, walking back towards the stream hearing the splashes of water cause by fish striking at insects it was obvious the area was teaming with life. Finding a new home yogimiru knew that this would be where he would practice and gain his future, exhausted from the hunt yogimiru curled up along side the fire taking a nap untill his food was cooked.

*RaOr* "What was that" the young boy thought to himself in a blurry haze, awakening from his slumber. *GoARRR, ROr* the dominating and fierce growl became more foreboding as the sound approached. Opening his eyes and scanning the area yogi was instantly alert but still bewildered "Whats going on" he thought to look around to identify the source of the noise. Freezing for a moment as yogi notices the large prowling bear, obviously hungry and willing to pick a fight for a meal.
Raising to his feet slowly and trying to use neutral actions to avoid attack from the gigantic beast yogimiru prepared himself. Looking over the bear that now stood trying to intimidate rose at a massive eight feet in height with an estimated five hundred kilograms, *GRaH!* the bear billows once more at the young man.

Yogi was exceedingly careful with his actions, although confident in his ability to defeat the threat, not wanting to resort to violence if he could. His love of animals and books lead yogi to assume he was dealing with a type of brown bear, Standing his ground and not showing fear he was hoping the predator would back down and leave. Time slowly trickled by like sands in the hour glass as yogimiru and the bear exchanged glances fixated on one another.

"Its okay big boy i don't want any trouble" yogimiru states out loud towards the bear as if the beast could comprehend him, "Theres some nice offal i left in the woods about a hundred meters that way" he says with a nod of his head. The bear never lifting its gaze the towering beasts nostrils flare, Hungry and unwilling to give up the bear moves forward.

Without warning the giant bear attacks charging in with its large and powerful appendages, leaping towards the danger yogimiru enters a gentle fist stance, dancing and circling the bear launching a powerful stinging blow hitting the cushy and plushy blubber and fur of the bear. The attack resulted in a instant counter a swipe from its powerful arm, brandishing a razor sharp fist of claws, dropping his body reacting yogimiru is able to swiftly dart underneath the blow launching into his own counter-attack sending a right palm enforced with chakra racing towards the chest of the beast.
The impact was tremendous yogimiru forced to defend his life didn't hold back, directing all his power into the Palm bottom technique. The bear feeling the blow hesitated in its movements, maybe a result of decided on wether to attack or retreat, using this delay to capitalize yogimiru launched another two strikes his hands holding his index and rude fingers cocked to form a spear like attack, smacking into the bears chest twice before darting backwards utilizing a back step.

The exchange of blows was intense yogimirus counter so fast that the primitive brain of the animal would find it hard to register what just happened. Now standing on all fours and bearing its teeth the bear stood a few meters away from the young man. Deciding the fight isn't worth the food the bear decides to turn its back and return too the forest, relaxing his stance and taking a breather yogimiru was glad that the preditor retreated before he had to hurt the poor creature.

*UlRg* the sound of yogimiru's churning stomach cried as the young man clenched his stomach, now able to soak in the tempestuous flavour of the glistening boar that wafted through the air carried by the rich smoke. Grabbing a large leaf from a near by tree and reaching for his kunai yogimiru cuts a large chunk from the flame cooked meat. Sitting on a nearby log and taking his first bite off the boar the flavour exploded in his mouth like dynamite.

The smokey flavour of the wood and the char from the flames offered a delight for the pallet balancing the meaty and rich pork flavour of the boar, enjoying his meal and offering thanks to the animal that had to die for sustenance the young man devoured several large hocks of meat. Wrapping up the rest of the meat in large tree frons and binding them with tree fiber the meat was essentially packed into a storage that would hold a few days.

Housing under the large tree central to the terrain once more the young man lazed back feeling content and full he gazed into the night sky. The heavens shone down upon the country and the village of the leaf, the lights sparkling and offering a sense of hope in the darkness. Smiling with the beauty that was offered, he exerted a large yawn before drifting into a slumber.
