The thread where Lach gets rank retention (solo)

[LachesisCitizen]

Morning again, and Lachesis Onomori was outside the usual training grounds. This time, however, something different was on her mind. She had recently received a transplant from the deputy Hokage, Goto Senju, and in return, had a lung removed. At the current time, her primary goal was to ensure that her body hadn’t been irreparably damaged with the stunt, as well as to see if it affected her current capabilities in any way, shape or form. She was clad in sweatpants and a wrapped top, not bothering with the normal jounin vest, and sandals that would be more appropriate in the shower than on the field. Nonetheless, that was all she was prepared to bring. She’d be here in this, or she wouldn’t have arrived in the place at all.

The normal stretches- dips, lunges, odd contortions that would make most people’s head spin- were done at a slower pace than normal, to avoid aggregating the implanted organ. She managed to pick up the speed eventually, however, approaching her normal pace as the minutes passed. At the peak of her workout- an intensive stretch that required extremely delicate balance, her chest stung, and she nearly collapsed to the floor. She breathed heavily, letting frost settle across her body. She couldn’t breathe as well as she used to. Fuck. Her lung capacity was at half- if that- from residual swelling and other stuff she likely wasn’t versed enough in medicine to know the proper name of.

This was going to come back to bite her later. If she couldn’t complete simple stretches in a contained environment- what else couldn’t she do? Lachesis swallowed heavily. She needed to know the answer if she wanted even a smidgen of a chance at survival- but part of her wasn’t sure she WANTED it in the first place.

With a grumbling sigh, she turned inwards on herself and pushed her body up to a standing position. Worse came to worse, she could just… Practice a jutsu. Something simple, not enough to aggregate too badly should things go horribly wrong like they had with the stretches, but enough to tell if something had changed. Storage Displacement was something she intended to look into for a while, but never found the time to do so, due to external commitments and injury alike. She knew the required handseals- Rat and Dog- but she’d never actually attempted it on her own.

She’d definitely calculated it out, though. The biggest reason she didn’t specialize in space time techniques was the surprising amount of math involved. Making sure you didn’t teleport into a tree, or making sure your storage dimension didn’t constantly drain on your chakra to leave you a shrivelled husk because you forgot to seal off one end, making it an accidental black hole or whatnot.

She grumbled to herself, forming the handseals and concentrating inwards with a quiet intensity unique to her and her alone.

…

……

Oh, maybe that was why the specialty was so popular. It was… Surprisingly easy. She placed her ryo in the new storage displacement and left to do something else.
