Training to become more then human (PT.2) (W.I.P)

As Hoshi awoke this morning he ,unlike most mornings when he wakes up, barely recognises the area around him as when he woke up he was looking at a cloudy sky with a soft breeze... Hoshi wondered for just a split moment if his house managed to get blown down by a strong breeze or something to that effect but if that's the case why does he even feel perfectly fine?

After much internal arguments about where he is he decided to just sit up whilst still in his sleeping bag and still in a daze he looked around his surroundings only to become more confused but at least find out where he is... He's within a wider side of a mountain with sticks in place around the clif face so he didn't roll of in his sleep. He sort of wondered why he has in this place to begin with so he just shock his head trying to wake himself up and a vague memory appears within his head.

Yes Hoshi remembered the previous days. It began 2 days ago when Hoshi was training Natsume for the first time. During this session he managed to spot Zyxis to which he decided to test how powerful he's gotten by opening up a greeting via a kick instead of a firm hello. Yet this resulted in speeds Hoshi could barely even comprehend and he could barely even keep up with Zyxis's fierce assault as he was knocked into the water. It was a stark contrast the the speed difference before to which now Zyxis was out of his league.

During the next part of that day Hoshi was excited as he arrived home. Those immense skills Zyxis used in conjunction with each other was a majestic sight to behold and yet he lost to him which also meant he still needed to get a whole lot stronger if he was to surpass Zyxis any time soon he would need to not only be able to keep UP with his speed but also manage to not surpass it but overwhelm it with his own strength.

So during the next day -1 day prior to this current day- Hoshi decided that to train to become strong enough he would have to learn a technique which far surpasses anything he has currently ever known within just a small time period. And so he began trying to think of what kind of technique he might be pleased with. Something big something strong enough to defeat any opponent easily...

Hoshi tried to think of powerful creatures. That could tears through and stomp through anything in his way. Then he remembered a technique he heard was once used by a taijutsu legend. The Evening Elephant. This particular move has the strength and speed to perhaps surpass even Zyxis as he tried his best to try imitating movements he thinks would suite it but to no avail. 

Hoshi throughout most of that morning until 5 P.M -still 1 day ago- he tried to create wind vacuums but not only was his power but the way he moved his fist was incorrect ,although the move he ends up using is powerful nonetheless, it's not good enough for him to manage to beat Zyxis with. Even at this very moment Zyxis could be training to become even stronger and faster with even better chakra control. Becoming even harder to defeat in every way possible and since Hoshi's chakra isn't a strong point at all he must make do with what he has and manage to defeat him using his own physical strength.

But whilst he wanted to train his body to be able to use this technique a decision within his own mind was made to not wreck havoc within the peaceful ravine next to his house. But in order to become stronger he must go into the mountains, Which is a place not only void of distractions from other people. But is also filled with area's that Hoshi could even use as testing area's for his technique's without feeling the least bit guilty of destroying some of the area at all. 

With this now in Hoshi's mind he was determined to climb the mountains and create a home base within there. Bringing not only a weeks supply of food and water. But wood for campfires. A first aid kit. and of course his good old sleeping bag/inflatable mattress, and a cover which he can use stick to prop up to create stable shelter for the rain if it ever arrived during this training and off Hoshi went into the mountains.

Now Hoshi remembers everything which lead up to him being close to the edge of a cliff with only sticks hammered into the stone using his own bare fists and the holes created originally by Hoshi finally being able to use a weak version of Nukite to stab a hole at least deep enough to where long long and stable sticks could be jabbed in... And ,throughout this entire week he has out here ,this place should be his home base to which he can safely return to after training for a long period of time.

Day 1
With this Hoshi was ready to begin his week long training period to perhaps learn a new technique that Zyxis or Ryuka would never be able to counter at least one which he would be able to make stronger then anything anyone can handle. And so he began by simply doing exercise's for the first day since if he wanted to defeat someone with a major elephant technique he would first need strength beyond what he currently has so that his body would be able to handle the intensive move. A move not even the powerful Ryuka would have an easy time with.

He first started by removing some of the sticks which kept him from falling off and slowly climbed up the mountain via piercing his fingers into the stone to slowly climb his way up. This was indeed a dangerous way to try and climb up a mountain yet it would increase the strength and durability of his fingers definitely. But as he climbed up the stone he put his fingers into a dodgy crack in the mountain the part he went into collapsed a large portion of the wall and Hoshi started falling and within 40 metre's he would land and break his legs.

Hoshi instead of freaking out tried to calmly think of a way he could survive the fall. And so after thinking of and idea he thrust both of his arms into the mountain whilst also digging his feet into the mountain -after rapidly taking of his shoes- to try and slow himself down and this managed to actually work as Hoshi was once again stable on the mountain side and from this deadly experience what did Hoshi do? He once again started to climb the mountain using Nukite like nothing happened, in fact he barely even recognised it as a threat but more as a little hiccup whilst climbing.

With Hoshi making each and every step of the way up the mountain his fingers got more and more exhausted as the pressure of constant climbing started getting to them, but even so Hoshi continued since the images of Zyxis and Ryuka easily climbing this with their bare hands comes into mind Hoshi instead of being unable to continue rapidly sped up climbing int mountain face at rapid speeds and even managed to reach a sort of "checkpoint" within the mountain should you call it that. Within this area was a small little spring of water and even nice grass with natural animals too boot, a perfect place to stop climbing and train other aspects of himself.

With these animals up here he could practice fighting against some of these fierce creatures living up here including cheetahs. Tigers. Even giant elephants. So he decided he would start by attacking a lone Alpha cheetah. Hoshi yelled at the cheetah "HEY YOU OVER THERE! COME AT ME RIGHT HERE AND NOW!" Hoshi never knew he would be yelling at a cheetah ever in his life but so be it today was the day he would. The cheetah looked at Hoshi thinking of him as a food source and pounced at rapid speeds towards Hoshi, Yet Hoshi had no fear. It was faster then he normally is yes but Hoshi was not the type to out speed hi opponents as it went for an obvious chomp at his neck hoshi managed to move faster then the cheetah delivering several punches to the foe's side, each could be breaking it's rib cage's bones with each and every punch able to break concrete. But Hoshi did not want to kill his opponent since it was a simple fight as he had food to spare. But holding back may of been a mistake as several other cheetah arrived by it's side 1-2-3-4. 4 opponents managed to surround Hoshi.

Hoshi with all 4 of these opponents managed to analyse each and every one of them whilst they were encircling him as Hoshi turned his head to prepare for an attack. 1st one the injured alpha cheetah who tried to stay in his line of sight. 2nd was most likely the actual psychically strongest as it was bigger than the alpha but Hoshi knew it wasn't the alpha as it seemed to listen to the one he fought as it's much faster then him in all likelihood this was to his right. The 3rd one looked like an ordinary cheetah and was to his left. And finally what seems to be the smallest Cheetah was behind him. 

Hoshi after documenting all his opponents in his mind decided to breath in and use the seven heavens breathing technique to outspeed and overpower the cheetah. Just as he put his hands together the cheetah all charged in. Yet it was too late as Hoshi's eye's turned white and a powerful yellow aura. The cheetah's hesitated enough for Hoshi to be able to make the first move where he pounced rightwards at speeds surpassing the Alpha towards the strongest Cheetah and performed the Gangeki Fist jutsu to not kill but instantly knock out the cheetah with just one powerful attack -holding back not to instantly kill-.

This action makes all the cheetahs back away. Good they've appeared to quit.That was a good excercise for Hoshi and so he decided to quickly do some practice attempts at the evening elephant on a nearby cliff wall -area is a non perfect 400X300 metre's in size and has walls surrounding it from the mountain and extra area's. So Hoshi could punch the wall in peace.

9 hours later. Hoshi's pretty much exhausted as throughout all this time he barely got the jutsu correct. He did many successful power punches yet all of those punches barely counted as an evening elephant with no vacuum's created and not as much potency as he would like. For now it was more powerful then the Arhat Gangeki fist yet not my much.

Hoshi crawled his way slowly back down the mountain with twigs in his mouth into his little base he created. This place is definitely good enough. To create a decent fire. Hoshi using all his speed rapidly managed to create an easy fire to which he felt the heat surge through him. With this fire he managed to cook some of the day 1 food he brought *meat right now* and have a decent meal before the next day would come.

[WC-1072]

Day 2
Within the training week he set himself. This should be quite a fun day now that he's discovered that training area. Rapidly Hoshi got prepare to climb back up to the wild sanctuary he found whilst climbing the mountain. With a bag this time containing foods which could perish soon such as breads which he could eat as for lunch and perhaps drink is not needed as for animals to thrive there must be a steady source of water... But just in case Hoshi still packed some water into his bag.

The climb up this time was more steady for Hoshi as each and every time he actually check the mountain cliff face for cracks and weak areas just to avoid getting a falsely done hold and fall down to his death. Thanking his past self for managing to survive and teach him that valuable lesson for climbing a mountain successfully. With a final heave and ho Hoshi made it to the training sanctuary to which he could fight to his hearts contents. 

Once he reached the top it looked just like before. Nice grass lands and a good water supply with many different and strong looking creatures the further in he looked. With this new founded knowledge of where the stronger creatures hung around he walked deeper and deeper into the land to which unknowing to him was trespassing on a specific creatures land. This creature is to be known as a Liger. Not a lion Tiger but much rather a Tiger who can sort of control lightning.

Of course since this was a lightning village the animal inhabitants may also see it suitable for lightning purposes and so the creatures here have also learned lightning. Of course it's crazy when Hoshi thinks this ,nearly dismissing the lightning surrounding the tiger as a simple eye trick, but the creature noticed him and approached much closer, where it was unmistakably a lion which could use lightning jutsu. Hoshi would be very curious and looking at the creature even closer if it didn't decided to pounce right at him with it's fangs out and lightning sparking off it's teeth

Hoshi was amazed at the speed but yet he was not fully prepared and so he used the ram hand sign and just barely avoided the lunged and after dodging the attack he decided to once again use the seven heavens breathing technique. Now he was slightly faster then the Liger. Though the strength of it was still unknown. 

With such a threat infront of Hoshi ,instead of defeating it like a normal person, he wanted to see it's full power and so waited for the "Liger" to make it's strike. But this was a mistake as the Liger opened it's mouth preparing an Attack? The power of this seems even greater then even Zyxis's most powerful jutsu and so Hoshi prepared a jutsu blocking technique before a lightning bolt got fired at him at speeds to which ,if it didn't have an obvious direction of where it would be beforehand, Hoshi wouldn't be able to react to at all.

Hoshi took on this attack straight on which hurt him a great deal even pushing him grandly backwards... If he didn't block that might've been enough to knock him out completely. Hoshi decided to use dynamic entry towards the Liger now as it was shooting it's lightning at the floor making a standard approach near impossible. With this Hoshi managed to get in close to the Liger and even managing to hurt it. Yet not enough. 

The Liger decided enough was enough and swiped powerfully at Hoshi with strength not more then Hoshi but enough to hurt. To which Hoshi responded swiftly with a slide onto his back and a leaf rising wind to kick the Liger into the air which succeeded. Now all Hoshi had to do was follow with the leaf shadow part. But as he jumped up to continue the Liger's own instincts activated an electric field around itself. While although it would hurt it wouldn't be enough to bring Hoshi down. 

Whilst behind the Liger Hoshi needed to use a technique the Liger would have troubles with. And so his next move was simple He would use the evening elephant that he's been practising in the place of the Lion's Barrage. This was semi successful as now very weak vacuums of air were being created and it managed to hit the Liger 5 times before it reached the ground completely unconscious. Now the Evening Elephant technique was even stronger then his Lion's Barrage. And yet even so Zyxis would be able to avoid an attack like that with little to no problems. Hoshi would have to become even stronger to stand a snowballs worth of a chance. 

With that foe defeaten Hoshi deactivated his Seven heavens breathing jutsu to realise he's gone and heavily exhausted himself in that brief fight. And so he sat down besides the Liger to have a quick rest. Yet the Liger managed to wake up 1 hour later with Hoshi by his side. Hoshi once again put his guard up but the Liger seemed passive. It was as if this creature was more or less a test for people passing by. Relieved Hoshi waved goodbye to the Liger for some odd reason and continued to train the Evening Elephant.

With a good deals amount of training done and a distance of 3 metre's shaved off the mountain side Hoshi decided his day was done and returned back to his home base. Yet as he returned he noted down the clouds looked darker then the previous days up here. Perhaps he shouldn't go out the next day. It seems like a bad omen.

[WC-961]

Day 3
This day was one filled completely with the heavy downpour rain. It was a depressing sight as he wouldn't be able to climb the mountain at all within this weather as a risk of falling towards his death would skyrocket to a degree Hoshi would never be comfortable with making the journey to his training area. So instead he decided to wait... And wait... Had an hour passed already? The sky was dark so he couldn't even tell where the sun was as he waited. 

During this time Hoshi decided to do some simple work out in the deeper parts of this mountain cave. Using push ups and even jogging around in miniature circles within a place where he has truly nothing to do. Within those exercises gave time for Hoshi to think about his life so far and how it's been. Normally a life like his would be able to make most feel down in the dumps from what he's heard of others and yet he himself doesn't feel too bad about it. 

Hoshi whilst thinking within this area remembers a day far back. Insanely far back to the point it could be his furthest memory he's somehow managed to remember. He was 5 years old back then. It was dark and rainy just like this day. Tengo Kyouken left him outside of the house out of fury of being unable to use any chakra what so ever yet Hoshi didn't care about being sent outside during the rain. It was fun in a sense, searching for a nice place to settle down and sleep instead of begging to be let back in -previous attempts of doing that never worked-.

During this Hoshi began to panic as he found 0 spaces. Would he freeze? Would someone come and attack him? He didn't know. And just before he ran back to his house to beg to be let back in he heard a quite whimper off in the distance. As Hoshi approached the sounds he had to go past a street and within an empty alleyway to find an older big black dog huddled in a corner. It was amazing he could even hear this creature but he seems to be depressed. No collar too. So Hoshi decided to take of his shirt he had on and face the freezing cold as he put it on the dog and hugged the poor fella.

Before Hoshi could fully recount these old memories he decided to perhaps take a rest. Written on the wall with Nukite to remember the dog. Perhaps the long night of rest will do Hoshi some good as he prepare's for the next day to be full of training once this cloudy weather clears up. Perhaps then he may remember the rest of the tale with the dog he found.

[WC-472]

DAY 4.
Hoshi during this night had a dream about the dog he was trying desperately to remember. And within this dream he saw the figure of the dog. and everything became realistic as Hoshi was looking in on his younger self. Ah that's right the day after whilst Hoshi was freezing cold the dog was looking after him and keeping an eye out for him. Even jumping up at him as he woke up to give him licks in joy. Yes he was happy here to get this positive reinforcement.

With that out the way Hoshi tried to begin walking home with the dog yet he stopped to think that perhaps his dad might not allow a dog so Hoshi instead stayed outside to try and guide the dog to new owners. Looking at anyone and asking them to adopt him. Unsuccessfully after a full blown 3 hours. Sad and hungry alike the dog next to him Hoshi discovered a choice. He would break into a house and get food for the dog since his father wouldn't allow such waste.

And so Hoshi found a relatively nice looking house with an unlocked slightly open window and went inside the house. He was within the living room and had to search into 2 different area's. One with sound behind the door whilst the other with no sound at all. Since it was mid day Hoshi expected the kitchen to be busy and so hid behind where the door would be if it opened up. Yet 5 year old Hoshi soon realised that whilst he broke in here in the corner of the room near where he entered was a child just staring at him. And said child screamed which surprised the 5 year old Hoshi at the time but currently he would be able to spot someone that close to him from breath and smell alone

After the parents came down they got ready to fight the child for breaking into the house but the simple child Hoshi just asked them to get food for the dog he found. Confused the family went outside to see the big black friendly old dog. Once they saw him including Hoshi he ran towards Hoshi happily and yet his stomach grumbled. 

Hoshi was now waking up. Yet this was the final memory as it started to fade to white. Hoshi begged the family to help the dog out. Even offering some ryo he stole from his father. But they rejected the money and helped the dog anyway. Hoshi almost cried in joy when he realised the dog would be happy. But he had to move away from the dog. To which he kept coming back to Hoshi when he tried to leave. Ending up in the dog being closed in the house. And never Has he seen the dog ever again as it all fades to white.

After waking up Hoshi could feel a wet on his face. Tears of joy or of sorrow he could not really tell. But even so it's still raining outside and Hoshi still needed to train. So he got up once again and started to do the normal training routine within his "home" waiting for the rain to clear up... Eventually.

[WC-544]

Day 5.
Hoshi dreaded waking up as more than likely the rain would continue to patter down alike the previous days. Yet it cleared up during the night and as he awoke not only was the rain gone completely. The cliff was also dry -enough- to scale completely and once again enter the sanctuary filled with all these wonderful creatures. Unlike the previous days Hoshi now had to stretch since he's been cramped in this 2 meter high and 5 meter wide and 8 meter long cave, it was even a miracle he was able to jog ANY distance within a place such as this.

Whilst yet again Hoshi climbed up the mountain cliff face he seemed to be getting in the natural swing of things managing to climb faster and more rapidly up the cliff face. He's doing so well infact he didn't mind midway through to dig his arm into the cliff face and hold whilst he looked at the village. Today it seemed more busy then any of the other days ,Which is natural since the rain just lifted, as faint movements within the village were visible even up where he was, But yet this was only a quick view of the village as Hoshi once again continued the climb up to the sanctuary.

When Hoshi arrived at the sanctuary it seemed more natural then it ever did before. He could comfortably live here if it wasn't from it's distance to civilisation being much greater then even his normal house. Yet even so it could be a marvellous place to set up a holiday home. As Hoshi walked further into the springs within the mountain he saw the "Liger" from a couple days ago and decided to wave hello. It was catious at his movements staring at him but Hoshi couldn't sense any hostility. It must mean he's aloud deeper in the mountain.

Hoshi could see that the Liger was a true guard as the paths started to branch within the mountains to the point if one was behind the Liger's post it wouldn't be visible. But where he is now he can spot several fruits and berries all over the place... With even more severe creatures to boot deeper within. Hoshi felt excitement at the fact all these creatures are possible to grow up in such an enviroment all together in harmony. Fascination took over completely once Hoshi discovered a massive Elephant at the height of a full 15 meter's tall with width to match -a full 3 times greater the size of a regular Elephant- and yet it seemed all the more wiser as he could communicate through the Elephant easily as it spoke to him.

"Ahh. What is a human doing within these sanctuary's. Are you perhaps here for our fruits? The land? Because if so the guardian of the woods would have been killed for certain and yet in the distance i can still see a hint of lightning. So you must be here for an alternative motive, must you not human? Speak." The giant Elephant seemed pretty arrogant with simply just calling him human so Hoshi might as well speak back to it with this in mind to aggravate it. "Heh. So long nose you want to know about the guardian, that liger thingy? He put up a decent fight but i beat him. He's still alive mind you but he let me past since all i want is to learn a technique called the evening Elephant and i though you would be one to teach me Long nose." 


The Elephant chuckled at his response. Mocking him ever more so not even hinting at disdain for the nickname it's been given but very well accepting it naturally ,must be an idiot or something, "You though one such as I would be able to teach you a human technique without knowing what it even since simply because of it's name?! Hohoho you've got it all wrong. Even the tiger based attacks humans make have no resemblance to the Tiger itself so why must an Elephant named Human technique have any so bearings on actual Elephants scrawny human." The Elephant had a point ,though definitely not the scrawny part of the conversation anyway, why would he have to learn

"My bad then. Thought you would know a thing or two about creating elephant foot sized vacuums but then again i don't think a long nose could move that fast and hey. I aint that scrawny" Though it terms of combat Hoshi knew this Elephant could overpower him easily "So why don't you just give me advice on my form as i practice it nearby. Hey do you know any area's i can practice a technique whilst not ruining the natural beauty of this place?" Hoshi was curious to the answer as he really didn't want to trash any of these creatures homes. They seemed to live a peaceful enough life in equilibrium with each other, so Hoshi would do his best not to disturb said equilibrium.

The Long nose brought Hoshi to a desolate place where the animals broke the equilibrium and destroyed the delicate life which managed to live here and said "Here an area like this could be suitable for a fool such as yourself." and throughout the rest of the day-night Hoshi practised once again the Evening Elephant to which was responded by the Long Nose apparently name Elise. "A shoddy imitation of an Elephants raw power such as I."Such is the fate of training with someone like this long nose ,But oh well, She even managed to at least give Hoshi good advice on making the technique stronger and more proficient and by the end of the day. Hoshi was able to perform the Evening Elephant Perfectly after the day was done but he trained too much and ended up fainting out of pure exhaustion.

"Phew. Such a dangerous young lad. At least he seems to not view us as sources to hunt but rather just training and sparring partners. Seriously he is a weird one trying to fight with Animals, But perhaps it's in his nature to search for combat no matter what the species. At least anyway I managed to bring him here, who knows what kind of damage this could've done elsewhere." Elise was not exaggerating as the boy who came up here managed to leave in his wake a giant hole within the mountain side of around 7 meters high and 10 meters deep with just simply using his technique. Who knows how powerful he'll be if he grows up even with his kind of lifestyle being as dangerous as it is.

[WC-1116]

Day 6.
Hoshi alike his first day here awoke in an unfamiliar place. Yet unlike last time the recollection of events were easier to make ,since a giant Elephant's snoring could be heard in the distance, he assumed the long nose took him in and kept him nice and warm with... Are these leaves and twigs buried onto him? No wonder he felt a tad bit itchy everywhere he's been sleeping in a bed, Cover and even pillow of leaves. 

It was a warm yet unconformable bed that served a beds purpose well? he couldn't tell if beds were either made to be comfy or just keep you from freezing but at least he isn't catching a cold. Even though Hoshi woke up earlier then the Elephant he decided it would be good manners to perhaps pretend to be asleep before it awoke as it would be nice to be able to wake up and say goodbye before he left this place.

Once Hoshi "woke" up at the same time Elise woke up with Hoshi managing to say his goodbye's to the Elephant he had help him train the day before "For a Long nose your pretty alright. Thanks for letting me crash in your house. But now that my training's done i'm pretty much heading back to my village now. And you don't need to worry I wont tell the village about the existence of this place, otherwise poachers could lay waster to it." Hoshi had grown a liking to this place and wanted nothing more then the simple and peaceful place to remain so.

Elise smiled or sort of? Hoshi couldn't tell too much as it was such a tiny one "Well then it is around that time isn't it. You've been within these mountains for as long most likely around a week from what we've heard about your" -Cough- "Initial 'warm' greetings to us with the cheetahs. They pretty much saw you as a food source though so it's their fault for not consulting with the Guardian about if they can have the new outside source of food or not."


"Such a simple place such as this one requires resources to be managed carefully. In fact i help assort the food amounts to the creatures here and hunting permits." This society to Hoshi was immensely odd as he's never seen anything like this. It's pretty much a society which works on the quoted death of others since prey and predator need to eat somehow. It was weird, But at least they seemed nice.

"Well then. See ya later long nose and make sure not to destroy this village too much" Hoshi waved off to the giant Elephant as his time within this serene haven was over. But hey at least he can find this place whenever he wants again once he returns to the cliff side base he can at least write this place down inside his map. But perhaps rename it to "boring cliff side" instead of "animal heaven" since if another took this map they may be uninterested to arrive at all. Keeping the animals safe from potential hunters.

With a rapid scale down the mountain compared to when Hoshi arrived he managed to go into the small base side cave and knock down all the twigs/sticks he had in place and gather all his supplies before making a mark in the stone right above his hut. It was 5 finger holes caused by 5 consecutive Nukite spear fingers. And with all his things prepared Hoshi set off back home. To where he would have a good first night in his sleeping bag back at his hut. With the success of this training "camp" of sorts working out well.
