Evens in the mountains. [open] [no kill]

Day 10

It was Thursday and Evens woke up very early to train his chakra control.

It was a cold day where Evens was taking a walk. He walked slowly to wake up easier and he walked over to the big tree. Evens looked at the tall tree and focused chakra to his feet. He walked slowly backwards to get an easy start.

Evens had focused energy enough to bound with the ground so he ran up on the tree and ran upwards. Evens ran and ran but he couldn't reach the same spot as he used to. Evens looked up on the highest cut in the tree and tried to hold his focus on the bounding. But he only reached 1 meter under the cut and fell down.

Evens fell until he realized he was falling. He twisted his body and landed gently on his feet. Evens looked up at the highest cut again. Evens had an angry look on his face.
''I will surpass you!'' Evens said while pointing at the highest cut.

Evens over reacted and focused lots of his chakra into his feet. Evens made a quick bound with the tree bark and ran up. Evens ran until he reached the highest cut and lifted his dagger.

Just suddenly his dagger slipped out of his hand and dropped down. Evens didn't want to give up now so he scratched the bark with his finger nails. he broke one of the finger nails but not badly only a crack on the outside of the ring finger.

Evens had surpassed the cut and was laughing while falling down to the ground. Evens landed on the ground hard. The earth around him was shaking a bit and the small rocks jumped around.

Evens was laughing happily and laughed until he couldn't laugh anymore.

Evens had reached his limit and couldn't continue so he began to sleep early.

Evens was sleeping by 10 am at the morning already and was sleeping the whole entire day. Evens dreamed about he reached the top of the tree only 1½ meters left.

Day 11

Evens woke up in the morning. A big yawn fell out of Evens' mouth.

His 1 brown eye looked out on the terrain.
''What a fine and happy morning'' Evens said while smiling at the newborn sun.

''Alright. Only 1½ meters left. Today i'll reach my gaol'' Evens said with faith in his voice.

Evens walked to the tree and looked up.

''You're not that tall after all'' Evens said while looking at the top of the tree. Confidence had taken over Evens because he had gained lots of power by the 12 hours sleeping.

His chakra flow was abnormal today. He could literaly walk up the 2 first meters on the tree, straight upwards.
Evens the began to run. He ran until he reached the mark from yesterday. ''I'll just have to reach now!'' Evens said with faith.

Evens reached the mark from yesterday and the took a big step upwards on the tree.

Evens cut a stripe in the wood without looking. Evens fell until he felt something under his feet.

Evens looked down and saw he was staniding on a tree branch. Evens the looked at the tree.

A tear appeard on Evens' cheek. His mouth began to smile like never. Evens was finaly happy that he could reach the top of the tree. Finaly.

On under 1 week he reached his gaol. Evens smiled at the tree. He then jumped at it and hugged the big tall tree.
'' I knew i could do it'' Evens said whil hugging the big tree.

Evens felt some rumbling under him. The tree was shaking.
Evens was looking down and saw something that he'd never wished to happen.

A big creature was banging it's head into the tree. A big animal with 2 horns on it's head. It was gray, fat and had many wrenkels.

Evens was amazed be the creature and looked at it with his amazed eye. The other eye of him was covered under his headband and hair. So he couldn't identify the creature.

Evens stared at the big creature and then he knew what it was.

''A rhino!'' Evens shouted out loud.

Evens fekt the tree was breaking down. Evens hugged the tree tightly untill he saw something to grab onto. Evens saw a big tree branch and grabbed on it.

Evens was then saved by that fall and looked at the rhino.

'Why is there a rhino here? In the Kumo Mountains?'' Evens asked himself because Rhinos wasn't common here. They were very rare.

Evens thought of an idea to make the rhino stop smashing stuff.
He was just finished training his chakra control on a tree, so it was time to give it a test.

Evens jumped down on the rhino and focused chakra to his feet and tried to bond his feet with the rhino's back. Evens bowed down so he could get easy balance and tried to find something to stop the rhino.

The rhino was swinging from side to side and Evens fell down from it and then stood up again.
He saw the rhino Rushing against him. A big 2 tons animal with horns was trying to kill him.
Evens ran forward. He was planning to get on the rhino's back again and then stab it on the muscle to make it stop moving... forever.

Evens' idea was alright so he tried to do it.

Evens threw a stick at the rhino's head so it would run in the highest speed against him. He then used the Body flicker technique and vanished from its view and the rhino crashed into a big builder rock behind the white cloud. The rhino was then unconscious and Evens landed on its back. Evens took his dagger forth and then swing'd his dagger down to stab the rhino.

The rhino woke up right before Evens got to stab the rhino. It shook and Evens jumped off. His dagger flew away and cut itself on the tree and hanged there. Evens couldn't reach it so he thought of another idea to slay the rhino.

''I got it!'' Evens said and then looked at the rhino. Evens charged his hand with, chakra and focused a small lightning orb in his hand.
The small orb became bigger and the color change'd. The color of the orb turned light blue.
He unleashed chakra from the orb and sparks and small lightnings appeared in the air around his hand.

The rhino was charging at a fast speed against Evens and was focused to hit him.
Evens jumped up in the air and made a Ram hand seal with his hands. Even with his lightnings.

The rhino looked up at Evens and was waiting him to come down.

''Here we go!'' He said while making a white cloud around him.
He disappeared from the rhino's vision and appeared under the rhino belly.

''Lightning Palm!'' Evens shouted while slamming his hand into the rhino's belly.
His hand penetrated through it's skin, jamming all the organs, slicing all entire organs.
He grabbed the heart of the rhino and crushed it in his hands.

''Blood!'' Evens said while looking at the blood dripping down on him.
He still couldn't bare the vision of fresh blood in front of his eye.
The hot sour blood was dripping onto his mouth. Tasting the iron-ish taste of blood.

His eyes changed, the pupil became small and he smiled.
''You aren't that tough are you?'' Evens said to the dead rhino's face. His smile became bigger and his madness was spreading.

Evens jumped around on the tree sides. Focusing chakra into his heels to he could climb on the trees.
When his chakra was used up he fell down on the ground. Evens was knocked unconscious... Again...
And he slept the whole day through.

Day 12.

There where only few days left to come back to Kumogakure, but Evens was still to weak. His goal was to become stronger.

''I think i want to train strength from now on''
His body was overused due to the chakra bonding and surface walking.

He opened his eyes wide open, he was laying on rock field, doesn't remember why, but he was not looking to something to train strength with. He first looked for am area to train at. He looked high top at the mountains and low on the mountains.

He finally found a big flat area in the middle section of the mountain.
He found some good trees around the area that he could train his strength.

Evens looked everywhere around. His eyes caught the look on a tree.
I think i'll start on that one.
He thought for himself. He walked closer to the tree, crunching his fists.
He punched the tree hard with all that his muscles could handle, he just kept punching and punching until his arms had enough.

That was the day he spent.

Day 13.

''I'm soon in Kumo again, i can't wait to see all the people there''
Evens said while looking on the clouds, he missed Kumo now.
He walked over to a tree, a new one. He crunched his fist, he punched the tree, only a mark on the bark appeared.

His hand was still crunched, hurting a bit. He punched again with the other fist, then the other again, and then again. He kept doing that until his knuckles was bleeding.
When they where bleeding, he stopped and looked at them.
''I think i'll take a break of punching'' he said to himself.

He then took some bandages on his hands, wrapping around the knuckles.
He walked over to the tree. There was a deep, broad and bright hole in the tree from all the punching. Even walked to look at another direction, just so he could kick the hole in the tree instead of punching atm.

He kicked hard at the tree. He wasn't used to kick that much, so here was a chance to get used to it.

He kept kicking with his right leg until it was beginning to hurt, he then switched leg.
He did that the whole day, hardening the skin on his legs and maybe overused his limbs. He was that weak now that he couldn't even walk.

He laid at the tree he had worked at, he suddenly fell asleep there.

Day 14

There was now only 1 week back before he was returning to Kumo, his home town.
He was now training his strength for the last strength training day because he had to train some more of the other things. He walked slowly and looked at stuff in the forest. He soon saw his father.
He was confused why and HOW his father found him. Kuré had a big sword wrapped to his back. It looked old and used, but still durable. Some pieces of the blade was covered by some grey bandage, maybe used to cover and hide the sword. Kuré slowly walked up to Evens. He unwrapped the sword from his back and placed it upon a tree.
''My son, Evens'' Kuré said happily to his son. He sat down at the left side of Evens. His eyes was bright and shining in the sun's light. He slowly said to Evens. ''I got a present for you''

Evens eyes began to shine bright, maybe he got something awesome, maybe the sword, that big sword actually, it was huge in scale of a normal Katana. It looked like a dao sword, but bigger than usual. It was also covered by scales, maybe it was made from scales. It had a leather handle that was wrapped around the handle. Evens could see the scales even under the leather wrapping.
''Father, is that sword for me?'' Evens asked his father and Kuré replied.
''Yes Evens, this is your present. This sword was wielded by your mother when we was trying to survive the bad times in the mountains. Your mom was a pretty good sword wielder and she always won her battle, or... your mom died against the death of diseases. We couldn't save her, but she got her last wish, you should have her sword, it will help you on battles with your mother's soul''
Kuré soon unwrapped the sword from it's bandage and and revealed the sword. The bright blue scaled sword.
Evens walked over to the sword and picked it up. He couldn't it was too heavy.
He tried and tried, but he couldn't lift it.

He tried and tried, pushing his muscles to a max but it was just not enough. He pushed his muscles more and more until they had enough. His arms was tired and he didn't knew what to do, he just tried with the pulling.
He pulled and pulled, he pushed his muscles and pushed again and again. The heavy swords was just too heavy. Kuré laughed and walked slowly over to Evens. ''Father, this sword is too heavy'' Evens said to his father and he replied. ''I'll give you 2 days to train for the sword. After that. If i come here again and you haven't lifted it yet, i'll take the sword back''
Evens looked shocked at his father. His eye was wide open, he knew he could do it in 2 days, but he wasn't sure he could hold the last 2 days. He felt his hands and then looked at the sword's leather straps and pulled them off. Kuré was confused and asked. ''What are you doing, my son?'' and Evens answered. ''I have a theory. If i used my Eki Me, i'll maybe be able to control the sword easier'' and then Kuré answered ''I like how you're thinking my son''

Evens laid his hands in a tiger hand seal after he had pulled all the leather off. He pulled his Genin head band off and focused chakra into it. Eki Me! he thought and the eye was activated. The eye was staring at the light from the skies, it wasn't used to see light because it always was covered under the Head Band. He used some chakra to grow some scales out of his hands to make him some gloves out of scales, to protection and easier bonding with the scale sword. His 'gloves' should work as a magnet hlper for the chakra to bond with the sword.

Evens slowly led down his hands to the handle of the sword. he touched the handle, gripped around it and then merged some scales to each other to get a nice grip, or, they didn't 'merge' but pinned through some scales of the handle on the sword. He focused chakra to his arms and hands, it was slowly beginning to glow. He pulled as hard he could and enhanced his strength with his chakra. His arms was now beginning to glow, a blue aura was changeling from his shoulder and slowly down to his elbows. When the aura of chakra reached the elbows, the chakra began to spread even more. The chakra began to flow down to the hand, both of the hands was glowing in blue aura. His strength was raising slowly and he began to move the sword, it was heavy, even with his chakra in use to raise his strength. He just pulled and pushed his chakra flow and muscles to the limit, all the way until he couldn't take it anymore.

He just slowly lifted his hands while bonding with the sword. Oh god, this sword is heavy Evens just thought for himself while he tried to lift the sword more than ½inch. He just couldn't do it causes of his lack in strength. His muscles ability to lift the item was now granted, he could lift the whole weapon, he could lift it but not wield it. His lack in strength angered him and he began let go of t e handle, he'd gave up and he wasn't in the mood of trying to overdue his strength.

The Eki Me is still activated and his hands was covered with scales, he wasn't amused of it, but it was alright.
Those razor sharp scales on the sword was even sharper than a katana. The razor blades could slash a tree easy and they could also destroy rocks. His head was full of ideas how to wield the sword how he could use it usefully. He then walked over to a tree, not far away. He wasn't used to use his Eki Me, he had just gained it, but he knew how to control it. He punched the tree and saw how the scales destroyed the bark of the tree.
He then walked back to his father and asked.

''Father. Why do we have these powers?'' and Kuré didn't reply, he just looked over Kumogakure. The village hidden in the clouds. Evens then began to do push ups so he always was training to raise his strength without chakra help. He just kept doing push ups, sit ups and everything he could imagine.
He became dizzy because he just moved faster and faster. He then stopped and and sat up on a rock. He looked at his father that still watched over the village. Evens just sat on the rock, trying to get to himself again.

Day 15

It was really first in 1 week before he should return to Kumogakure, but he just missed it too much, so he thought, i could train in the way back.

He walked slowly down from a slim road on the mountain while jumping a bit and punching in the air, he also kicked and punched trees on the way downward. After 1 hour of hard training on trees and air, his muscles was worked out. He just wanted to take a break now, but he was still on the mountain, he wasn't finished with the slim road yet.

His Eki Me was still active and he stopped up. He looked at a tree to test the powers of the Eki Me. He slowly walked over to the tree, feeling scales flowing our of his bottom of his feet. It made him stand easier on the ground and every step was quicker than a normal step. he slowly paced over to the tree, crunching his hands and then began to punch the tree's bark.

His muscles was worked off so he didn't have that much control over his hands. His punch flew onto the bark, but it slithered with the sides and flew around the tree instead of giving it an impact. His punch power flew through the tree and he made a face plant to the tree. His nose began to bleed, but he wasn't afraid of it, no serious injuring was made. He just stood up and looked at the bark on the tree.

He looked fascinated on the tree. The line that he had punched was teared by the scales on his hand. His punches of his scale hands wasn't good at impact hitting, but they where god at slithering around the opponent, tearing their skin and flesh.
Evens thought to himself What can i use these powers to? and kept thinking about his powers, his new powers.

He began to run around on the top of the trees with his scale heels. His jumps was enhanced by the scales good grip to the tree branches. He leaped like a frog on a lily pad he just jumped, also giving more speed with his leg muscles. Every leap was using lots of his leg muscles because he had used much of his muscles in the mountains and he had done damage to his legs, but they would vanish quickly.

After some hours of jumping in trees to the foot of the mountain he saw a road back to Kumogakure, he smiled just thinking of it. When he touched the ground on the road, memories flew through his mind.
When he leaved the village for training, it was weeks ago. But he remembered that he was going to train 1 week more up in the mountains, but he missed Kumo too much. He stepped another step on the ground, memories about the fall of Kumo and the Kage flew through his mind, the fight with death, the fight with many people.

After thinking on the memories, he paced against Kumogakure's gates.
He slowly walked against the gate, he saw all the trees on the site of the road, he walked slower and slower. He looked at the trees while pacing slower and slower. After stopping up, not even half way to the gates he began to hit the trees with his scale gloves, tearing the bark off and rip the inner tree. With only 10 punches to the sides of the tree, he could push and bend the tree. It fell to the ground with a little earth shake. He then walked away against the gates.
