Akira: Train hard for you are weak

"All right todays class we will be studying an interesting ninja, for he had a medical condition which didn't allow him to use chakra. This student however grew great in the ways of taijutsu. His name was Rock Lee and is known as one of the greatest taijutsu specialists of all time." the teacher continued with many historical battles, and styles that this ninja had mastered. "Now everyone lets go outside and practice our taijutsu skills since every ninja needs this since one can not entirely count on their jutsu's."

The entire class went to the academy training grounds. Akira went over to one of the training dummies, and threw punch after punch, not letting up for a moment. Emphasizing the movements on each and every punch. If he wasn't putting everything he had in every punch he threw then he would never improve. Punch after punch, until he was not able to throw another one. Alright, I can hardly lift my arms now so maybe I should practice kicks now. He kicked the head of the dummy being as precise as he could. Kick after kick he didn't stop until he ran out of feeling in his right leg. He did the same with the left leg, and at the end he found he was in trouble. He was hardly able to walk, but he had regained his feeling in his arms, guess I will do more punches, he thought to himself. Punch after punch he continued. Finding by the time both of his arms were worn out, his legs had regained the necessary feeling to continue kicking. This processed went on for two straight hours, his stamina was completely depleted, and now he could hardly move. He collapsed, and awoke in the nurses office.

"Ohh your up, how are you feeling." A Young shinobi asked, she was the school nurse a chunin studying medical ninjutsu

"Yeah, last I remember I was just training." Akira said with confusion, he tried to move but his muscles were to soar, and would not allow him to. "I can't move right now."

"That doesn't surprise me you were training quite hard, if you push your self like that everyday you will defiantly get strong, I heard you guys had lecture on Rock Lee today, and want to know a secret about him that the text books don't teach you about. I found this out while looking at some old medical records, and surprisingly enough Rock Lee was in and out of hospitals all of the time, one doctor even joked that he just kept coming back because he liked the food better then his house. "

"But was it his training that would do that for him." Akira asked out of curiosity.

"No but he did train his stamina to a high rate so that he could train sleep and train. What I am trying to say is that you need to work on stamina along side strength and speed to become a great tai jutsu user."

"Ahh well I don't want to be a pure Taijutsu user like him, I just liked his training message, Stronger then I was yesterday. If I take that to heart everyday I train I should progress pretty well, then I will be a great ninja in no time." Akira tryed moving again and this time he was able to start moving. "Hey I can almost move now."

"Glad to see my jutsu is working, I'm working a new one that allows the muscles to relax so that they can heal quicker."

Akira got up once he could and went home, there he fell asleep, woke up early and went back to the academy for an early morning training session. Back to the Dummy in which He was improving his skills on he started punching, stronger then I was yesterday. Such a good way to get him through this training. Alright If I start kicking before I completely make them feeling less then maybe I can do more, and get even stronger. He switched to kicking the head of the dummy, Each time more powerful then the last, switching between legs to try and not tire him out as much. He alternated between punching and kicking, and eventually began to do all the movements in collaborating with each other. This would give him an edge in a fight if he was able to put emphasis into everything he did with each and every movement he did. He saw his fellow students hurry off to class so he decided his training was done for now, a break would be just great.

"All right class today we are going to talk about fighting opponents, and today if you pass the test at the end of the lecture I will allow you to spar with others in class. So Fighting is always dangerous since you never know what your opponent is thinking, a friendly spar is safer but there could be some broken bones if you aren't careful." Akira and most of the rest of the class listened intently for everyone was wanting to be able to spar, they had seen the spar's from the older academy students and it looked so fun. Once he was able to spar the sky would be the limit for it would be like real world experience. "Alright every now for the test." The teacher handed out the test and Akira went through it with ease, nailing every question and gave it to the teacher. He was one of the first done. After all the tests were in and graded he was going to announce who would be able to spar. "Allright the first person who passed was," the silence in the class was the first time it had ever been like it, everyone waiting on the answer. "Everyone." Cheers came from every where. This was a major step in being able to graduate for they would be so much stronger now. "Alright everyone out to the training grounds for everyone's first spars." The class headed out to the training ground with a great speed, but they would all have to wait for their teacher. As the students waited around, they all were wanting to see who was the strongest in the class. Some believed they wouldn't even have a chance, others thought they would be the supreme overload of the academy. Akira just hoped that he would have a good fight, and of course win. "Now that everyone's here we can start." the teacher said deviously for he had taken his time in coming here. "Now before we start, don't forget the basic rules of friendly sparing, we don't want anyone to get hurt to badly. I will be here monitoring you guys and when I say someone won then that means stop fighting immediately. First up Dageki and Soomoku." Dageki and Soomoku went into the center, they were two best friends and were about to face off. Though they both had a smile on something told Akira they both wanted to do this. "And Go!" the teacher shouted. They both ran at each other, Dageki getting in the first few blows, and then Soomoku Came up with an amazing uppercut that hit Dageki's chin this sent him flying back hitting the ground. "Winner Soomoku, Who is next, lets see." He looked around as if he was trying to pick someone out, though everyone knew he had already decided on the matches. "Akira, and Kyuu." Kyuu, he thought he was a strange boy that rarely spoke and wore a man purse, this should be easy. Akira and Kyuu went into the center of the sparring area. "And Begin!" Akira quickly charged at Kyuu with great speed, and hit Kyuu acrossed the face, but the man grabbed onto the arm that Akira had punched with this caused both of them to go flying and hitting the ground. Both got up, and reset them selves, this time Kyuu came charging at Akira and with a swift move Akira kicked Kyuu's head making him crash to the ground. "Akira wins," the teacher said. Yes he had done it, he had won his first battle.

Kyuu got up and said, "Nice hit, you are a lot stronger then I anticipated. Guess I just need some more training."

Akira responded with a smile,"You aren't bad I was actually surprised I did that well my training this morning really payed off. You are a lot faster then I anticipated, we will have to do this again sometime."

"Yeah, and I will beat you next time Akira,"

(word count 1436- Strength training)

"Akira and Genjuu your up next." Akira had patiently waited for his turn to come up again, but this boy was defiantly the strongest strength wise in the class, his last opponent got knocked out in one blow, would he be able to actually defeat him? Akira was nervous he couldn't let this guy land even one blow or he would be down for the count. Then it hit him, he would just have to dodge all the incoming blows and counter attack when he could.

"Good luck," Genjuu said polietly

"You to Genjuu," Akira said, remebering that Genjuu was really a nice person and this is a friendly duel. Genjuu charged at Akira but Akira could easily dodge the incoming boy. As the boy kept swinging at Akira, Akira kept on moving out past the range of the punches. With a swift kick He hit the side of Genjuu's head, this caused him to fall to the ground. But he quickly recovered now he was swinging more frantically, and Akira just kept dodging the blows that would cause him an instant knockout. That's when he saw it a perfect time to counter, for the second time Akira kicked the boy's head in the same way, causing him to fall to the ground but he was persistent and kept attack Akira. Each time Akira was able to counter, until Genjuu didn't get up.

"Akira wins," his teacher exclaimed. "Now the next match will be ...,"

Akira had done something he didn't think he would have been able to. He beat someone that was so much stronger then him, all by dodging the attacks. So strength is pointless unless you can make contact he thought. But not having enough strength will just cause your hits to do nothing against a strong opponent. Being a ninja is difficult with so many things that are needed to train. After watch many other matches, he noticed that he could keep up with just about everyone in the class. Except for one Fushidara she was one of three female students left. She was much faster then Akira, and if she were to fight Akira she would surely win.

"Fushidara and Akira," the teacher said. Akira was just thinking about her, did his teacher have some sort of telepathy. Akira met with Fushidara in the center of the dueling arena.

"So lets have a battle of speed." Fushidara stated as she ran at Akira. His only reaction was to try and doge her moves. She punched so quickly that he had no idea what to do. If she was as strong as Genju he would have already been knocked out. Good thing for him she was not as strong as even himself. As she was throwing punches, he was starting to catch up to her speed, he quickly started dodging more and more until she wasn't hitting him at all. Now was the time to counter attack, he punched her causing her to fly back a ways. He thought that one hit would get her down. But he was sadly mistaken she didn't seemed to be even scratched. He was going to have to put all his force into his hits. She rushed at him causing him too panic once more, but again she could not hit him, instead he hit her with a kick to the head causing her to hit the ground hard. This however was still not enough as she came back this time a little more defensive. Akira was the one that was going to need to charge her now. He did and as soon as he threw a punch she grabbed his arm and flung him to the ground. Akira stood up and decided if he was going to win he would need to get past her speed. Another counter attack like that might end him. He came at her but instead of throwing a punch he just stopped in front of her. She quickly punched at him but he grabbed her arm and kicked her head to the ground.

"Winner Akira," The teacher confronted Akira, "You did well out there you are starting to look like a real ninja now. Alright next up is ..." Akira was happy that he won, but maybe he had gone a little to far she was a girl after all, no he thought, in a spar a ninja is a ninja. I can't think that girl's wont be tough, and not want to kill me. On the battle field we are all equals, even if off the battle field I treat them right. She was defiantly the fastest academy student but maybe I could surpass her. I just need to keep training hard, and become better then I was yesterday. With that Akira was ready for the next challenge that he would face.

(807 words - Speed)

There were only four students left, he was in the top four in the class, how did he ever manage this. "Akira and Hogosha," the teacher said. Akira looked at his opponent, he was one of the stronger ones in the class that he had known of, seeing him this far he knew that was the case for sure. The two went into the center for everyone to watch. Akira and Hogosha charged at each other, both with great speed, dodging the hits, then Hogosha got in a punch. Akira was stunned for a moment, but then recovered knowing that he can't show any openings. He decided that he would be doing counter attacks, instead of running straight for the opponent. As Hogosha ran towards him, Akira stared at him watching his every movements. As Hogosha pulled back his arm for the punch Akira decided it was the right time. He quickly ducked out of the way of the punch tripped Hogosha, turned around and kicked his head to the ground. Hogosha hit the ground but swiftly kicked Akira's feed from under him. This guy has good reaction time, Akira thought as he hit the floor. Hogosha was now standing while Akira stumbled to his feet. The two started going after each other, exchanging blows one by one, until Hogosha hit the ground. He had run out of stamina and could no longer fight. "Akira wins," the teacher said. He had out lasted him, but there was still going to be one more match, he was running out of juice would he be able to win. The next battle was happening would be his opponent. "Akira and Meiun would you please take the page for the last battle." Meiun was the scariest person in the class. A very mysterious person who he knew little about. Meiun kept to himself, and people always hear him talking to himself. All Akira knew was that he was strong if he made it this far, but he to was strong since he had made it this strong. He needs to win this match to show everyone that he will become a great ninja. "Go!" the teacher announced. Akira was trying to see if Meiunn would make the first move, but he just stood there awaiting his opponent to make the first punch. Well if he's not going to make the first move I will, Akira ran at his opponent, pulled his arm back to make a powerful punch. He threw the punch hitting him in the head, A direct hit he thought but, it felt like I didn't hit anything. The body poofed, a clone but when did he make that I was watching him the whole time. A hand hit the back of his neck, he hit the ground hard. He got up barley able to stand. Akira moved at the boy again, but again hit a clone, where was he. he ducked down and did a spin kick dropping the person behind him.

"The same trick wont work twice on me." Akira remarked. The man made some hand signs and picked back up, the man charged him, Akira not knowing what would happen stood there hopeing he could counter whatever he would throw at him. Akira dodged a punch but didn't draw the reverse kick that was thrown right after the punch. Akira fell to the ground, trying to move but he couldn't.

"Winner Meiunn." the teacher exclaimed, "Good job to everyone, some of you surprised even myself at how far you have progressed." Akira with dissapointement got up, he had been defeated but he did quite a bit better then he had anticipated. I shouldn't be upset about how well I did. There were a lot of battles, and now I am so worn out.
