Solo Training 2[P]

Keita had been in a slight slump as of late, and decided that he needed to step his training reghimen up and maybe learn some new things. He had recently gotten much more into using ninjutsu than into using fuuinjutsu, and his new found skill reflected that, but he still needed to go out and train some new jutsu. He had recently learned a single earth jutsu, and the hidden mist jutsu, but he still had to learn more, or at least learn how to properly mold his chakra and control it a bit better. He wanted to make sure that he was as powerful as he possibly could be, considering that the village was going through a bit of turmoil lately, and he wanted to be ready to assist the village and the kage should anything arise. He wanted to make sure that he would not simply die on the battlefield or be completely useless when war or fighting came to the village, or if the kage needed him to leave the village for some other mission that Keita could not really even begin to fathom at the moment. Still, it was all fun and game to guess and estimate what was going to happen in the near future, but he needed to start doing something about his current situation right now. So, Keita set to work on figuring out a training regimen for himself that would get him the best and most balanced gains to his chakra and chakra control as he could, and something that he could do to train his nature chakra infusion as well, as he was rapidly learning water, and wanted to make sure that he could use the water element as familiarly as he could use his other element, which was earth. He wanted to know that whenever he used a jutsu of the water element, it would be easy and natural to him, as if he was eating or drinking. Thus, the training regimen would take place in the military training area, as this was the best place to train in near life and death situations, which was the best way to train things that he needed to train. All of these tactics were useless on paper if you did not have the nerve and the experience to use it when push came to shove.

Currently, it was in the morning, closer to noon than not, as it was eleven thirty, and this would normally not be a great time to do anything, as people were about to get off on their lunch breaks, and this would cause an influx of traffic in the village as everyone wanted to get something to eat during their lunch breaks so that they could go back to work feeling revitalized with the energy from delicious food. This was, however, no problem for Keita, as he was going to the military training area, which was something that not a lot of people went to anyways, let alone during their lunch hour. He had yet to see anyone decide that on their lunch break, they would stop what they were going to do, which was to eat somewhere with a co worker or something, and decide that they were going to over exert themselves in the training area. while the fact remains that they could use the training area for leisure purposes, the actual problem lay in the fact that the workers there would not let you use the training area meant for military personnel for something like sitting at the beach and drinking some fruity drink for an hour or so. Although, now that Keita thought about this, that would be a fantastic tourist attraction and be a great boon to the economy of Kirigakure. He knew plenty of people that would use a facility such as this for pleasure instead of work, in all sorts of ways. Then again, the bloody mist was not known to be some sort of pleasure palace, so this would probably be rejected by the higher ups in the village, and their main export would still be fish and other aquatic goods, and they would not suddenly switch to exporting tourism at the moment. Keita was leisurely thinking of this as he was calmly and slowly walking to the military training facility,, and he would reflexively nod to the people that were passing him by, as it was a reflex and ingrained into his very nature to be polite and courteous to the people around him, especially those people in his village. He loved the people of the village, and most of them loved him as well, as there were several rumors going on about him being the nicest person in the village, which was a good thing for some and a bad thing for others. 

Quite a few people thought that him being nice was a great weakness, and they did not know that behind closed doors with an enemy, Keita would be down right sadistic in nature and extremely hostile towards them. He showed no mercy for them, as because he loved people, he would not treat his or the villages enemies as actual people. They were more like insects or things just to be slaughtered by him, as they were a threat. They were more of an obstacle to be moved out of the way than actual people to him at that point, and he would use his best chainsaw to do his work on the obstacles, and make sure that they were removed in the most efficient and fast way possible. This was also shown when he tortured the prisoners for information on one of his earlier missions, and he completely forgot about it when he left the room, as he had done what was needed to be done for the village to an enemy of the village, so he had put the torture, pain, and suffering to the back of his mind when he left, as he simply could not see them as people once they were on his bad side. Keita absent mindedly found his way to the front of the military training building, and he was in a slight daze thinking about what he was actually going to do when he got in there to customize his training for himself, and soon he thought about how to get the most benefits to himself in the least amount of time, even if it would be dangerous to him to do so. He thought about it for a while, and decided that he was going to do something ijn the beginning that would help him become closer to the spirit  of water, and so he would recognize water and be more in tune with it. He already had a vision of what he had in mind, which was a small island in the middle of torrential rain and high waves battering it. After a bit of time, the island would go through different changes, all while being under the assault of heavy rainfall and huge waves. The water would go through phases of being calm, to torrential, and every kind of way in between, so that Keita could see how water reacted in all of its forms. 

Keita even thought to freeze it and have it as steam, but those were their own things, and seemd to be more in tune for advanced elements than what he wanted to use it for. He also wanted to concentrate on the healing and life giving properties that water had, so he was eventually going to make a large tropical forest, and it was going to be massively humid, and he would travel through the forest to see how far he could get, and see the majesty that water could give to barren lands, and what an excess of water and life would do to the environment he was in. With the beginnings of a plan laid out, Keita confidently walked into the military training building with a heart full of confidence and resolve, and walked to the lady at the desk. He explained what he was going to want to be doing today, and the woman was sort of shocked. Keita bought the room for a week or so, and in the room there was no food and water, the artificial environment was not suited to stay in there for very long like that, and Keita explained that he had food and drink on his person, situated neatly and snugly inside of the scrolls that he carried in the pouch on his side of his belt. This was a simple matter for a fuuinjutsu specialist, as they could have a large amount of perfectly fresh items and ingredients ready for whenever they went out camping, or if they were put in an emergency situation where they needed to have food and water. A fuuinjutsu specialist could even pack up and take the whole kitchen if they really wanted to, so grabbing a bunch of food such as fruit and salted meats was not much of a problem in the first place. The woman at the front desk seemed to understand, and was not even phased anymore, so Keita managed to convince her to book a room for two weeks straight, and Keita walked into his particular room, and started fiddling with the fuuinjutsu seal that allowed him to mess with the rooms configurations. This was relatively easy for someone of Keitas prowess, and soon there seemed to be a small, simple island that seemed to be in the midst of a raging storm at see.

The waves were reaching as high as fifteen meters tall, and then crashing against the island with massive force, but the island remained standing there, completely unfazed by the massive waves that seemed to smash it to bits. The island remained strong. Keita seemed to slowly fade out of existence, and then phased back in on the small island that was in the distance previously, and stood there, watching the massive waves. He had set the condition of the island so that the waves would smash into him, and he could feel the full power of the water, but there would be no actual damage done to his body, simply the shock and the pressure of the water would remain. It would feel like he was getting hurt, but no actual damage would be done to his body, so Keita would have to rely on his incredible mental fortitude to get through this horrible trial that he made for himself, but he had confidence. He said this, but he was beginning to slightly doubt himself as he saw the first wave that was going to crash into the island, and of course him as well, forming near him and raising to the size of a large building. Keita clenched his teeth as he thought about everything that he had been through before, and that he needed to do these drastic measures to become stronger and help out the people that were important to him. The first wave crashed with a force that would rip a building down and sweep it away, and Keita was easily smashed into the island before getting swept out into the open ocean. He seemed to groan in pain as the wave crushed his body, but after it had passed, his body went back to normal. He laid face up, the rain hitting his face, and it seemed he had become fairly listless, as he simply sat there, groaning in pain within his mind. He wondered if he should turn down the intensity a bit before doing that again, as it was pretty damn harsh to start with, and it seemed that he had greatly underestimated the sheer power and weight of the water that was swept towards him at that moment. Keita was bobbing up and down in the open ocean, and let out a long sigh, before standing up and heading back to his small island.
================

Keita went through this proverbial torture to his mind and body, but through this, he was definitely getting closer and closer to fully understanding the water element. The battering of the waves that struck him made him think that he was getting beaten with a large amount of wooden clubs, the impact of the water dispersing throughout his entire body, almost evenly. There were quite a bit of water in his ears, and frankly throughout his entire body, he was actually getting used to the taste of the sea water in his mouth, which was very salty, just like he knew it was from all of his years swimming in the bays and alcoves of the hidden mist village when he was a child. He sort of remembered these fun times as he was getting washed back and forth between the island and getting swept out into the open ocean, and this helped him concentrate a bit more on thr actual chakra control instead of the pain and suffering he was currently in. He could feel himself getting closer and closer to the water element in his mind, and the chakra that was forming was also preventing the water from getting into his lung. Although this was all technically fake, the trauma that could form on and in the body and mind because of this event were all real, and this could get out of hand very easily. Keita was in the rushing water in his ears, and he had no way of knowing which way was up and which way was down as he was tumbling over and over through the waves that were roiling all around him. Eventually, this particular wave finished, and there was nothing but tranquility for a bit, and Keita's head popped up from within the water. He gasped for breath multiple times, but before he could fully catch his breath, he coughed violently, and then immediately got swept away by another large wave that mashed him against some sort of reef that was about twenty feet from the surface of the water. This was fairly random, as he had not specified this in particular when designing this area that he was training in, although because of this, the system that was in place had a bit of creative license to scatter things around the area that seemed to fit in with what the local environment was. This made Keita curse audibly, which he almost never did, but he wish he actually could at this moment, as he was suspended under a lot of water. The wind was knocked out of him, so to speak, and Keita had to struggle a bit to get his head above the water. Once he did so, he found that he was close to the small island, and struggled, crawling to shore in a fairly desperate attempt. He could simply use jutsu to solve all of this if he really needed a breather, but he wanted to train in an area that was actually life or death dangerous, and not simply fall back to using his chakra to defend himself like he usually did. He would be hindering his own growth if he did so.

This was a strange variation of training that was done, and it seemed to fit the village hidden in the mist quite well, as this was the sort of iron man training that one would see in the earlier years when the village hidden in the mist was still called the bloody mist, and the training was usually deadly. Still, this was still a bit safer, as if the simulation that was happening inside of the room right now was actually deadly, while it would severely injure Keita, it would not kill him, and it would simply end, and the attendant would rush in there, grab him and then rush him to the hospital for treatment. It was mostly psychological, but there were times when the chakra that was sustaining the illusion in the room would lash out and attack you, leaving very real scars and lacerations on your body, so that the illusion would be like real, life or death training, and Keita appreciated that. If he was in the medical field, he would most like wonder about doing training like that, as attacking his own body using the chakra provided by the room seemed like a good idea if one wanted to train how to treat different injuries on a person. The fastest and most efficient way was to experience it for your self and then heal it yourself, so that you could know how dangerous it was. This was not for every injury, obviously, as there was only so much one could do and learn from if they had cut off their own arm, for example. You can not learn how to treat someone going into shock if you yourself are the one going in it. Keita had to have these thoughts as he had gotten a small reprieve from the massive waves battering down on his proverbial hatches. He was able to catch his breath, and he slapped his chest really hard, causing him to cough up a bit of sea water with some mucous as well, as he was almost certain he had inhaled some of the water. Even though this was all 'fake' it still hurt to have the feeling of inhaling water, and so Keita attempted to relieve that as much as possible, as he knew he was basically within the eye of the storm. He was certain now that there was no need to continue this training for the full week or so that he rented the building out for, as he could easily adapt to this situation within a day or so, or get so battered up that he was forced to leave, so he also started thinking about what other sorts of training he could do when this got either boring or too intense. Keita thought about training his old ninja skills, or the classics, as it were, and try to make a situation where he would sneak into an enemy installation or camp, one that was crawling with soldiers and other people that had combat capabilities, and steal something. He wanted to try and do this with just the academy jutsu, as the hiding like a mole technique would make this a bit too easy if he was using the normal rules of there always being some sort of stone flooring available to use. Maybe he should make it so that there was no stone flooring, just as an extra challenge to himself and to make sure that he did not use the hiding like a mole technique, as it had become a bit of a crutch since he had learned it. After contemplating on his subject for a while, Keita took a deep breath, which also caused him to wheeze slightly, before looking at the swelling waters before him, and it was getting larger and larger in his field of view. The only thing he could now was brace himself for the impact and get read to adjust to the constant churning waves that would befall him shortly.
=====
WC: 670

As Keita watched the large wave start to swell once again, Keita made sure to brace himself for the impact. He had more or less gotten the hang of taking the impact without sustaining injuries, and he made sure that he was on the opposite side of the island that the wave was on, so he would be thrown away from the island, as the island had some stuff on it that he did not want to crash into, such as the foliage on the island, especially the trees that were on the island, as that was going to be something that could break bones if he was washed away and thrown into it with the force that was behind the waves. Keita was hesitant to try and go through that to strengthen himself, because although he was hardy, something like that would undoubtedly put an end to his current training session, and he did not want to do that because he had only been going at this for a little more than a day, and he still had about a week or so left for time that he had booked for the training room, so he wanted to get his moneys worth out of it, and immediately hospitalizing himself at the end of the first day would definitely put a hamper on his current plan. Keita was fully ready, braced himself, sat at the correct position to not get swept too far, but to get swept away from the island, when the huge wave smashed into him, battering him to the ground. Luckily the ground was fairly soft sand, although it sort of sand blasted him as well when he got hit, it was better than smashing into anything else, or attempting to jump. He ended up flipping and turning, and soon his body was more accustomed to the water, after going through this hellish training a couple of times already. He believed that he could put an end to this training and take a small break before studying and thinking about what he wanted to do next for training. This training could only get him so far, as he was definitely going to get used to the waves as he got better and better at controlling his water chakra, and so he decided that he was going to end it after one more wave. And thinking of that, another wave roiled in and hit right where Keita had just surface above the water so that he could breathe, plunging him back down into the depths below. Keita was lucky that he made sure that there was no wild life here, as a passing shark or some sort of large squid would have an easy time hunting the almost defenseless Keita that was getting battered around. Keita once again righted himself in the water, swimming up to the surface for some air, before making his way to the island. He then forgot that he could end this simulation whenever he wanted, and it was more of a subconscious thing to head to the island before getting out of the simulation. He turned it off, and then went to the control panel to decide his next course of action.
===========
WC: 539

Keita was still technically in a simulation, and so he was feeling soaked in water all over, and throughout his body, in fact. He was simply sitting there, wet as a dog, looking through the options for what he was going to do to train. Since he had gone an entire day in a wave simulator, he was planning on changing the simulation to something more relaxing, but something he could still use to train himself, and so he went a couple of rounds through his own head, wondering what water based thing he would do that was also relaxing, and eventually he settled on something like a sauna or hot springs. He decided that he would sit in some hot springs with the simulation, and started inputting what he wanted to happen during the hot springs as well as the specifications of what the environment would look like, and the etcetera that he would have to input so that he would have a bit of control over what was going to happen. This was meant to be training, but still relaxing on the body, so essentially it was going to be a bathing area in the hot springs, and he would be alone, the near faceless other people around him being only the other potential beings in this simulation. He wanted to simply relax, and think about the water around him, and how it could heat up at a moments notice, and the different states that it could be in. He already saw and experienced the fearsome power that a large amount of water had on things using his own body, as he was near powerless to sway the momentum in his favor. Although he was not the strongest person, in fact he would be considered quite physically weak to most people, the awesome power of the large waves gave him a considerable amount of respect for water in general, and gave him multiple ideas based on the waters power for various jutsu that he wanted to have. Now, he was finished inputting the information about what the simulation would turn into, which was simply an outdoor hot springs, and the surroundings rapidly changed to match the description of what Keita input into the panel. Soon, he was surrounded by the humid and muggy environment that would appear when in a hot springs, and likewise, he was nude, with nothing but a towel around his waist, as he was right at the edge of a hot springs, the edge being formed from tiles based around the natural rock formation around him. Overall, it looked very beautiful and professional, and he wondered if he should have a pond that mimicked this sort of beautiful and profound atmosphere when he had more money to spend on his own home. He was saving money just in cas ehe found something interesting to spend it on, as ninja tools were fairly expensive, especially if he used some sort of rare materials in it to make it. He especially wanted some sort of staff that could amplify his abilities.

Keita decided to use his time relaxing and bathing in this sauna like atmosphere to come up with some interesting questions and philisophical debates that he was worried about. Keita wondered about the nature of chakra itself, and why humans and intelligent animals, or any animals that had the proper inclination for that matter, could mould chakra at all, let alone could mould it and make it into something akin to a large fireball or something as intricate as manipulating ones own shadow. This was always strange to Keita, as a species, they should not have been able to do the things that they were doing, but this much was something that most teenagers knew how to do in the shinobi villages, and there were places where it was common to apply the same logic behind chakra molding and such to do the same, but wioth weapons, such as the samurai of other countries that defended the daimyou. Keita could not come up with a satisfactory answer for this for quite some time, and the only thing that he could reasonably speculate on is that chakra was a naturally occurring energy that every living being had in them, and even some earthen materials and non living beings had in them. Humans had to have learned it from seeing some of the amazing creatures that existed on this polanet that evolved to a state where they naturally could use chakra. Thinking like this Keita decided that after he was done in here, he would head somewhere to find a contract of his own with some sort of animal, as that was quite an interesting prospect when he thought about it carefully. He wondered what kind of animal he would align himself with, and if he should seek out a certain animal, or simply explore around and see if he could come across anything useful and fit him and go from there, trying to be a bit more natural about it.

Keita had relaxed for a little while, about twenty or so minutes, it was not as if he was keeping track of the time or anything, before finally getting down to the business that he was actually going to do in this particular simulation. It seemed that he was done contemplating a lot of his life choices and the things that he did not fully understand, and so now he wanted to get down to actually using his chakra to study the element in which he was surrounded with. there were various forms of the element all around him currently, the water that he was bathing in, the steam that he was breathing in and was coating his upper body, and then finally the ice cubes that were inside of the cup of water he had at the side of the pool he was currently lounging in, they were all the various states that water could be in. This was why he was perfectly content with studying the nature of water in this environment, although he was cheating a little bit on the solid form of water perhaps, it was still something he could reflect on, even though it was something that he could not really make with jutsu. He also did not think he could make steam either, considering it was most likely a combination of water and the fire element, and a particular genetic reshuffle that allowed certain people to make steam. Still, it was something that he could take into account when he was particularly focused on the water element, and something he could study, maybe he could make his own jutsu based off of the principles of the state of the water around him. He already had a couple of ideas for what he wanted to learn to make his water do, and this was something that also required him to know about the earth element, which he was already intimiately acquainted with, so it was something that he simply needed to put in a bit of effort to learn, and this would be a fairly successful endeavor, or at least he thought. Something that fit his personality was hard to come by, as he was conscious of everything around him, and he felt that slow and steady won the proverbial race, as it were, and this would make it very difficult, and very annoying, to fight someone like Keita, especially because he favored long, drawn out battles that allowed one to fully realize his unique characteristics.

Keita started to open his chakra points, much like he would do when he would use the chakra chain jutsu that the uzumaki clan were so famous for, and started to feel the water around him, as well as the steam vapor that was touching his skin above his chest. When he breathed deeply, he could feel the essence of the water element all around him, and this was also what he had done when he was practicing his earth techniques. When one did something like this to get closer and closer to their element of choice, it would bind the element further and further to their own body, which would allow greater mastery in the future. He already had fantastic chakra control, so this was simply icing on the cake. Additionally, Keita wanted to slowly change his chakra nature to be more water focused, and not be so heavily influenced by the earth jutsu that he had, as water chakra would match his ambitions more. This was a slow and arduous process, but something that could be sped up using the intense training that he was doing just a little while before this. The smashing and battering of his body under the intense waves was something that was essentially drilled into his bones by now, and this allowed him to figure out what the water element was good at, as well as to allow him to better picture and imagine the effects that jutsu of the water element could have. It was one thing to have a certain chakra nature inside of ones body, it was another matter entirely being able to achieve the visualization of the jutsu so that one could figure out how to move the chakra through the various path ways to manifest the effect of it. Visualization was one of the key things one needed when forming or making jutsu, as it did not matter if you knew the jutsu formulae perfectly if you had no idea what it was going to do when you actually used it. Keita took this time of careful meditation and opening of his tenketsu points to make sure that he was taking in as much of the waters' essence as he possibly could without anything bad happening to him. Just like when ones pores opened up, the tenketsu were very sensitive to different changes, and this made one have to take caution when one did things of this nature, but since he was in a sealed room and was not actually taking in anything to his tenketsu points, it did not matter much.

Opening a large assortment of the chakra point groups was some what of a challenge, but also a bit of a good thing as well, as it felt fairly good to be in a place such as this and start massaging the chakra points. This was something that one would not be able to do normally, it was simply something that certain mendical ninjas did for when they studied how the body operatoed using the chakra points, and there were the puppeteers. Other than those two groups, Keita could only think of the hyuuga, as they could see and monitor the chakra points. Once the chakra point group was open, it would allow the body to more carefully and precisely feel the world around it, and this feeling was comfortable for a large number of the population that had tried it, as long as one was not somewhere where contaminants were in the air or chakra around them, as that would spell disaster. Keita opened and closed his chakra points in small groups all over his body, starting from the top of his head, and traveling towards his feet in an orderly manner. This allowed him to essentially breathe with his entire body, and this was actually a type of workout for him. It allowed him to become closer towards the center of the water element, and he was essentially attempting to flip his chakra network to make the water element its priority, so that this was something that his body was more attuned to than the earth element. He had ideas for the water element, especially when it came to ink, and he was already planning to learn the art of the super beast painting abilities, that allowed one to give temporary life to their creations and art. This was not quite the end all be all objective of Keita when he was thinking of the jutsu, as he wanted to do something with ink and calligraphy, which was his favorite passion. If he could make a series of jutsu based around expelling evil and protecting people with his calligraphy, then that would be something that would greatly please him. Her would be forming his own ninja path through the world as they knew it, and this was going to be something that existed solely for him, and the people that he eventually wanted to teach it to, depending on their abilities with ninjutsu and fuuinjutsu. Not many people could be so predisposed towards the fuuinjutsu arts as the Uzumaki, so there was no shame in finding some students that did not have an insane innate talent, but could overcome this with effort.

The water in the bath house or sauna that Keita was in had just about served its purpose after about another few hours of this interval training with his chakra points, so Keita decided it was time for another change of pace. This time, as he made his way to the point in the room that had the command console that would allow him to change the contents and the illusion that he was in, he had various thoughts about where to go from here. He had a good understanding of the water element at this point, at least enough to start learning a few basic jutsu and start really practicing o make water a comfortable part of his arsenal in the future. The problem lay in the fact that Keita did not really know any water jutsu, nor did he bring any scrolls iunb here with him to practice, so he was sort of stuck on where to bring his training next. He thought of a couple directions that he could take his training to where it would be the most beneficial to him at the moment, and he kept coming back to the training he had done before, the last time he came here, which was a sort of exploration type of adventure in another fantasy type world, and there was plenty of combat and danger there. Keita thought that he might as well do something that would allow him to get stronger quickly, and so he thought of fighting water based enemies in this fassion. The people he would be going up against were ninja, so he thought that making a couple of water ninja users to fight would be a good choice, to see how the system, that had quite a bit more technical info than he had at the moment, would carry out making someone who specialized in the water element. He wanted to know the most common strategies with water, as well as whoever programmed this' version of water users that were somewhat more unique. Keita was hoping he could use this to get inspired by what he was going to fight against, and this would help him become a b etter water user in the future.
