Violet Trains for that Headband (private)

Violet stepped onto the training field of her academy while toting with her a bag that she had packed for the occasion. She wasn't exactly sure what all she was expecting to do and learn while out here but she was certainly going to try her best in getting just a little stronger if not a bit more accurate in using her chakra. She had been devoting a lot of her time into her classes lately and that allowed her to meet multiple ninja that were her peers that wanted to learn the secrets of jutsu as much as she wanted. She had a bit more of an understanding of what she was doing in comparison to her peers, she felt, but she had no doubt that if she was to hold herself back that would change very quickly and she was a very competitive person at heart. Thus here she now was ready to make herself better at any cost so that she remained top of her class. She had brought books, snacks, and drinks to make certain that she would be able to go through such training for as long as possible without getting too tired for tomorrow's training or making certain she didn't wake up sore either.

Thus it was time to get down to business as Violet rubbed her shoulders and twisted them around to stretch out her muscles as she looked around the field. No one else was around and the field comprised of common training items such as dummies for shuriken target practice, wooden logs for taijutsu training, and even a rope over that reaches out about 30 meters over a stream. Her attire for today consisted of a pair of plain shorts and a white shirt as she thought of what she was going to do first as she settled to the fact that it was always common practice to warm up the body first before going forth with exercise and conditioning. She had learned as much during her days in the orphanage when she was often put to work with chores like bringing fresh water from a nearby stream, due to plumbing being blocked for half a year, by way of toting it on her shoulders by way of a pole. Or when she had to help move furniture to different rooms with each new child coming in to get used to their new home. She didn't mind any of this, though, as it helped her to get a jump start in her adventuring to becoming a ninja.

As for the way to get a proper warm up it was time for the tried and true way to get muscles set for a work out: push ups. Thus she got down onto her hands, picking a place on the field with a patch of grass to make it a bit more comfortable, as she began to push her body up and down with her arms as support. She actually had small muscles running along her body from all her previous exercises in the orphanage so doing push ups actually allowed her to do more push ups than what many considered an average number. After performing about 30 push ups she would feel a need to truly test her limits as she removed an arm and began to perform one armed push ups while moving her other arm behind her back. This was tough as she could certainly feel a burn fighting against her efforts as she was able to crank out 10 more before feeling she needed to switch to her other arm or risk falling on her face. With that arm she would also perform 10 push ups before feeling finally she had given her arms a good warm up and she flipped over onto her back and placed her arms behind her head.

Next up her training warm up regiment was crunches as she began sitting herself up and laying down in rhythmic fashion while making certain her shoulders touched her knees each sit up. During her training her mind moved to thoughts of whether or not she was going to next train her agility with the rope over the nearby stream or read up and meditate her chakra control. Seeing as she was already quite good at chakra control she couldn't help but feel it was okay if she went a little lax on it and focus on things she wasn't so well versed in such as her speed, agility, and physical prowess. Sure she was quite strong but she knew she was lacking in being able to utilize her speed in order to actually put any of that strength to use. Taking that into account her eyes went over to the rope that hung over the stream as she nodded to her resolve and kipped up to her feet from her position on the ground.

Quickly hopping over to the rope she would not look to waste any time as she hopped up onto the rope daintily while keeping her balance centered and her feet in proper places as to make certain she wouldn't be falling into the water anytime soon. Taking up a stance she began to punch over and over again in the air while alternating her feet to make her be moving forward along the rope as she kept her balance up the whole time. She would add a few kicks here and there to make her legs get as much time in the exercise as her arms so that she kept everything well balanced and satisfied. She would also do a few acrobatics along the rope as she placed her hands along the rope and did some flips and tricks with her legs and feet to make her look like a spinning helicopter of kicks. Upon finishing with such acrobats she would expertly place her feet back safely onto the rope as she stood in the center of the rope bridge as she got back into her stance and took a few pants of breath from the exertion she had been putting forth.

She took in deep and slow breaths, listening to the running water that was beneath her as a way to calm herself and keep herself well balanced, as she looked up into the sky and noticed that the sun had seemed a bit lower in the sky. She had been at her exercise for a good hour as she hopped off of the rope and landed safely in the middle of the training grounds nearby. She rubbed her neck and stretched it out while looking around to notice that no one else had come onto the training field just yet which was good for her to continue and not get distracted. Thus she looked over to the training dummies while getting out a few kunai and shuriken as she believed it was time to test and see how her aim and ability to curve her weapons would go. Examining her training shuriken and kunai she noticed that they were dulled to be as least dangerous as possible which made her wonder if she was actually going to see good results from throwing them if there's a possibility for them not sticking into the targets. She shrugged at that thought as this would be a good exercise in her reaction time as she would have to watch her kunai and shuriken upon being thrown to see where they'd land.

She thus took a set of four shuriken in one hand and two kunai in the other as she got into a low and grounded stance before bringing her arms around in front of her and then tossing her arms to the side as she released her weapons targeting one of the training dummies about 10 meters away. To her dismay, while her shurikens had no trouble curving right into each other and flying towards dummies she hadn't targeted, her kunai wound up completely missing their marks and wound up clattering against the wall and falling down uselessly onto the ground. She sighed as she walked over and collected her weapons in order to continue with her training. She took her kunai and shuriken as she looked to see they didn't seem worse for wear as she cracked her knuckles and got back into her 10 meter position before proceeding to practice her tosses and throws with the weapons once more.

After a good long while of tossing and aiming with her weapons and senses she felt that she had made just enough progress to allow her to stop with physical activity for the day and continue her studies in her books that she had brought. She had read inside her books that it was a requirement for ninja to graduate to Genin by using techniques known as the clone technique and the transformation technique. They were both generally pretty easy techniques to learn, difficult to master and pull off in battle, and she was sure she'd be able to pull off such techniques right away once she began trying to practice and put her chakra into it. Thus she planted her feet firmly into the ground as she began to form the seals necessary to create a clone as she focused the moderate amount of chakra within her to flow along her body in the form of smoke. She had her eyes closed as she could feel the smoke wafting around her as she opened her eyes slowly and noticed that there were now two more versions of her standing beside her and looking at her in the same stance that she was in. Seeing this she nodded in satisfaction and cancelled the jutsu as the clones disappeared slowly like mirages.

Feeling like she had made some progress she went straight into trying out the transformation jutsu as she started to once again begin forming seals with her hands as she focused on the chakra flowing through her and allowed it to puff out of her in the form of smoke again. This time she could feel physical changes running along her body as she grew taller and new clothes she never wore before started to form along her body. When the smoke cleared she took the form of one of her fellow orphans that she looked up to at the orphanage. She looked herself over to see if there were any defects with her new form as she was happy to see that nothing was wrong. Satisfied there as well she allowed her chakra to relax as her form was once again shrouded in smoke and she could feel herself physically change back to what she was before. Stepping out of the leftover smoke she walked over to her pack and took out a book that she had meant to finish reading on about a technique that she was also looking to learn that really helped out with one's Genjutsu technicalities.

So for the next hour she would read said book as it taught her the multiple ways one could master their chakra control in order to get themselves out of a jam involving Genjutsu. The releasing technique was something that no ninja could go through without and it was something that would certainly be of use to her in the coming days of her life as a ninja. Once done she was certainly smarter, and stronger, which was all she was looking forward to gaining throughout the day of training she had put herself through. Taking that as a satisfying stopping point she thus packed her bag with all the essentials she had entered the field with and put it over her back as she exited the field while using a towel to wipe off some sweat from her brow. She would have a really nice shower upon returning home and a really good little meal as well. All in preparation for the big day she was set to have for tomorrow.
