Awakening Soul [Xzelaxer's Second Training]

[Another New Day]
[Speed Training]

"Alright i gotta do this. Since hopping from tree to tree might take me about 2 hours, and now that i'm running, i think i will took 3 hours. Alright, in 3 hours, i will reach the Valley of the End." said Xzelaxer as he stood firm, in the middle of the Village Gate. He glance atthe Konoha Gate, and he really like it. It's another fresh day, the day to grow stronger. He raise hsi eyesbrow slightly as he smile to himself, opening his eye with the fresh cheerful face. He finally start to grin as he finish his speach, his feet preapring to sprint and dash. His mind say goodbye as his feet start to raise from the ground as he begin to sprint off from Konoha, running against the wind that blow pass his body trying to stop him from going any further. It can't be help, life is funny soemtime. There will be something to stop us from going any further, it's like a test that ask us whether we can go any further or not. You need to develop hope in your eyes, and move your leg, prepare your fist. In that day, you'll get rid of that obstacle.

It's early in the morning, but the young man with hope and joy on his face, get up early to train himself, to be soemthing one day. Xzelaxer run, trying to sprint his legs as far as he can get. His face still grinning, and his eyes nearly blink. He glance to the branch of the tree as he step into the forest. The forest is quiet but the footstep of him running on the cluttered dead leaves he's stepping on. His face show determine, and he's dodging one root after another. He jump up, barely dodging the roof so that he wouldn't trip down, and as he jump he forget to look at the tree branch in front of him. "Oh crap!" he said he quickly trying to weight himself using gravity to his advatage. As he weight himself down, he narrowly dodge the upcoming branch, his hair flying up, showing how long it is as it hit the branch. Though, the unfortune doesn't go away as he drop down on his ass to the ground. "Damn i need to be faster to dodge that branch. It feel like a Jutsu flying at me."

Xzelaxer get up, as he started to wipe the dirt of his pant. A couple of leaves stuck on his pant, and dirt just from a fall like that. He slide his hand against on another as the dirt keep falling down and in the head he look straight. This time he didn't prepare his sprint but quickly dash off. He jump to the left to dodge one fot eh upcoming tree, as he hop up and kick his left foot to on the tree. As he kicked, he get highter than before, yet he kicked his right foot to another tree and in the end he does a backflip, landed on the ground safely. "That's some warm up alright" he chuckle to himself as he continue his sprint. As he pace, the tree undernath his feet were theown back due to the sudden friction between hsi feet and the leaves. Clearly, he's getting faster in his step as he's getting farther. Hisnheart race faster and faster, as sweat start to drop, his stamina start to lose. He smiled again, to encourage himself. He reprove himself that he need to get way faster, and finally, he pace faster than his normal speed, evading most of the root.

Xzelaxer hop up a little higher as he land one of the tree second branch. He stop for a moment to catach his breath, as he look far to see whether there's obstacle. After a few second of hesitate, he prepare both his feet and try to jump as far as he could and extend his legs to get far. He landed on the ground safely and continue his running. Time move really fast as his stamina start to get lose, and he can't seem to catch his breath anymore. He stop for a minute just to get his lung rested and breath heavily. Sweat are rolling down his cheek reaching for him chin and drop down to his shirt. He try to wipe it using his hand. It still keep coming. In hindsight he shold bring some sort of towel, and some water with him after all.it funny how he manage to survive many time even though he's that reckless. Maybe it's because of that...the will not to breka his promise. He has a goal to fulfill.

Xzelaxer prepare to set off again as he heard a sound of growling. He grin when found out what the voice come from and his heart was heated by excitement. "It's a good thing you're here...Mr. Lion" he said ignorning the idea that he may look dumb for talking to an animal. But clearly...what he's planning is to test his speed, by escaping from the lion, or cut it into two somehow. He tap his feet two time as he look up. He swiftly jump up to the branch as the lion follow him from the ground. Xzelaxer glance down at the lion as he hop from tree to tree. The Lion grow his despair but then Xzelaxer jump down just in font of him. The Lion growl as the sharp claw were shown and saliva between his claw. The Lion start to pace swiftly toward Xzelaxer. Xzelaxer try to sprint as far as he could, gripping his katan with his left hand. If it's emergency, he will just draw forth the katana and cut the lion into two.

The sprint seem to becoem larger since the excitement took place Xzelaxer roll down his body, to evade, the middle height root. It'll be hard for him to jump over it and it's risky either. Xzelaxer give aslight laugh. "Come after me, little boy he shouted glancing at the lion. He dodge the tree ahead of him, as he edtend his hand to reach out for one of the branch and swing himself forward like a monkey. His left hand still grip his katana. Xzelaxer landed down safely as the lion seem to get closer and closer to him. He felt his stamina dopping low again, and he can't seem to catch his breath. His sprint weren't asfar as before and he can't seem to felt anymore energy in his leg. He can't barely move any longer, and his body just want to drop down in any second, but his soul insist. The will inside his body wanthim to move forward. Xzelaxer jump up dodging another root but as he land down, he can't feel energy in his legs and he trip himself falling down.

He felt the sudden clash between his legs and the ground, and his ankle seem to twist. He felt the pain inside his legs, but what more important is he's falling down. The Lion nearly reach him, as the lion see Xzelaxer fall down, it took the opporunity to hop into Xzelaxer wanting to savage him and end the whole thing. Xzelaxer's despair grow as he see the lion jumped at him. He can't feel anymore engery in his body, and his body lay on the ground. However, his left hand is still there. He grip the handle tight and swiftly drew forth barely scratch the lion's body. The Lion scream in pain within the sudden slash as it drew back to ease e pain. At the moment Xzelaxer thought he's dead but it turn out this way, all thansk to his speed. Speed is really important after all. But it didn't end yet, the lion prepare for another blow it prepare to jump another time. Xzelaxer get his grip as he roll to the right, narowly dodging it. He swiftly stand up but the Lion jump at his again which lead him to move the right side of him again narrowly dodging the dangerous claw and fang, Using the opporunity, he swiftly slice down the lion into two. "Again it's thanks to my speed" he murmured, standing firm easing the pain on his body.

One of his eyes close trying ot ease the pain. He breath heavily, as sweat roll all over his cheeek wetting his face. His coat was dirty due to the rollover previously. His ankle hurt and he can barely walk. Blood is flowing through the tip of his katana and he finally sheath it. He walk a little farther, and to see a very joyful result. He look at the bright shiny light, the beautiful waterfall, the gushing water, the land full of space, enjoyable nature, especially the admiral, honorable and amazing statue. A smile of happiness lit on his face as it start to turn into a giggle. "I did it" he said at last.

[Strength Training]

"Alright...1..2..3, Go!" said Xzelaxer with a cheerful tone as he push his leg to stan dup. He limber his body up by extending his arms, leg and his waist. His face seem cheerful and there's a smile on it. He seem to dismiss what happen earlier, the lion that nearly kill him. Maybe it's because of the environment in this great relaxing face. It's cold, beautiful, windy, everything are epic. He wish he could live here, he love the landscape of this place. But what more important right now is his training, the strength training that he has prepare for. He heard that climbing the mountain would improve his strength much and he want to try it. Furthermore, the place seem to be relaxing, the kind of his place, it will help improve him much.

Xzelaxer stand firm, heading his face up looking how high he's going to climb. On his face, a smile show up showing that he's interesting on what's going to happen. Xzelaxer take a few step forward getting nearer and nearer to it. Finally, he reach and start to extend his hand to reach the rock. He grip on it tight, feeling some rough on his hand. He extend another hand as he raise his hand up to make his sleeve fall down. Gradually, both of his hands are now grabbing the rockas he start to get up a little higher. He feet quickly start to try and stand on the rock. He miss the first time as piece of rock start to fall down to the ground. "I better becareful" he claim as he sight. He look up, tipping his eyesbrow down, covering his eyes as he start to climb up little by little.

Xzelaxer try to use the strenh in his hand to pledge along with the rock as well as getting higher. He glance down to see how high he get as he quickly snap himself back. He can't go back anymore, he need to go forward like the wind that blow, water that move and bird that fly. He won't back down anymore. What done is done. If he can get rid of his cowardness only him would remain, courage is everything he need. Death won't take him so easily and he know his life would continue on like a wolf that escape from it hunter.

An idea popped in his mind and he realize that i'll be cool and funny to try it out. No matter how he think, the move seem to dangerous and risky. Even though he might end up falling to the ground, possibly die, he still insist. He smile faintly looking up, stopping all his action but held the rock tight and prepare for something. He's interest in how frog leap from one place to one place, and he want to try it out sometime. It might also make him go faster but it's too risky. In the end he prepare himself to jump up like a frog to the rock above him. His face show determine a she bite his lip, tucking his eyesbrow. Finally, he jumped up and he hastily extend his arm to catach the rock. He failed his first attempt as he slip his hand making some scratch on his hand. Swiftly, he reach for it the second time, and fortunately grip onto the rock. He could felt the pain on both hand especially right hand. His legs slip and it seem that there's no rock for his foot to step on. All he could rely on is his hand strength and only it alone. The face seem to show struggle, but no worry.

His legs swing backward and forward like a swaying dancer. His hands become red from using strength and the contact between the rough rock and his soft hand. He tip his eyesbrow down as he could feel the pain in his hands. "I..i shouldn't try it after..all" he struggle to mumble as he extend his left hand reaching for the above rock. He barely manage to click onto it and held the rock tight. He try to draw all ofmhis strength to his left hand trying to push himself upward. He gradually make it a little higher nearly reaching the spot that he able to rest his legs on. He nearly come to it, as he try to step on some of the rock but his pathetic attempt become worst. Few pieces of rock fall down, his legs slipped. Worst of all, he his grip between the rock and his eight hand were broken, and now he can onyl rely on his left hand. "Oh Shit" he mumbled struggling.

Blood pump loudly and quickly. It's running through every part of his body including his left hand. It become red becuase of the powerful contact within the rock. Xzelaxer is a right-hander and he can't actually control his power on hsi left hand. He gbte his lips like grinning his teeth, tryng to push himself up. Xzelaxer extend his right hand to reach for the rock sothat he could balance himself, yet making it stronger. His hand seem to slip mostly,couldn't reach for it. Furthermore, the end of the rock i pretty short, that he can't hold himself there. "Ahh!" he struggled as his left hand seem to be in his limit. "I'll work a little harder, i'll push a little more. Nothing can stop me! I have a dream to follow, a promise to complete! I can't...just die!" he shouted which encourage him so much as his left hand forcefully pull all his body up. When he get high enough, he extend his right hand to reach for the rock as he find a proper rock for his legs to set foot on. He can now stand on something, as his right hand is now in his control. He lean back his left hand, he give a quick glance to it. It's red, boiling hot with many fracture against the rock.

He finally able to reach the middle part of the rock. Just a little bit farther and he'll reach the top. He gave a quick glance to the waterfall that flow beside him. He gave off a faint smile and look back up tryng to climb up a little more. He had used up most of his strength, thanks for the rest earlier his energy was stocked full. But now it seem to loosen back from all thengripping, climbing holding and stuff. It's funny how he has to climb all his way to the top while the other pro ninja can just skip through it. Well that would just make things interesting anyway since he's eager to know whether he can do it or not. A swordsman need to have a plently of strength so that they can beat their foe in clashing. He know he need to be faster too, but for now he's aiming for the Strength. This would be a long day and he doesn't want to watse his precious time climbing this thing sliwly. He need to be stronger, meaning that he can climb faster.

"Argh! Almost there! Just a little bit further! I can do it! The top! I nearly reach it!" Xzelazer shouted trying to climb more faster. Several time, he try to step his feet on the rock undernaeath him, some time his feet just slip, good thing that he hold the rockmabove in time. He wouldn't let the incident earlier happen once again. His life is at risk, that time, and he doesn't want it to be like thay anymore. His face show struggle with the eyesborw that tip downward and with the eyes that slightly blink. His hand seem to have so many scratch, and something left on it but no sign of blood. It must be painful but he need to endure it.

"Yes!!! I did it! I'm at the very top" shouted Xzelaxer moving to the First Hokage's head. He stand firmly, stretching his arms ot the sky, face full of bright and cheerful smile. Ot start to turn into a giggle. The breeze fo cold air fly pass him and the weather is beautiful. "Ahh..this place is wonderful. Finally i can rest my hand" he said, laying his back on top of the Hokage's head. He sleep tight looking at the beautiful blue sky, white soft cloud that move, and the bird that fly forward. He can feel the freedom and joy. "Shishi...it felt really good" he chuckle with his grin-like smile and closed eyes. He felt like he's at the very top that nearly reach the sky.

The sun start to rose higher, the light start to get brighter, the temperature start to get hotter, as a matter of fact, noon is ariaing in the very next hour. "Guess it's no time for rest then" said Xzelaxer splitting out th egrass in his mouth. He start to get up from the ground and hang his katana by his waist. He usually rest after each training for energy recovering and mind refreshing.no matter how many time he compliment the atmosphere around here, he alway love it. But since noon is arising it will get hotter as well as harder to train. He need to train something for now taking the advantage of the current whether.

"Ok. This boulder seem like a burden for a while, i need to move it and make it near the cliff" said Xzelaxer limbering himself as well as strretching his arm making the sleeves fall down. He's looking at a round boulder height around his waist but kinda heavy at some point. He just done some kind of Strength Training earlier, but he needs more. A real Swordsman need to be strong in Strength so that they could win the clash. Healready swear to himself, to his soul, that he'll be stronger.

Xzelaxer move closer to the rock extending his arms to reach the boulder. He start to gather all his strength into his palm, standing his pose firm on the ground making it easier to push it as well as driving out his strength. He started to push the boulder littler by little as the boulder start to move forward as expected. There's a rough thing on his skin, just the same feeling as when he's climbing the cliff. It's obvious that his plam would turn red once again but he doesn't care.

Hid face show struggle with of his eyes closed, and another blinking. He's starting to lose his stand, and pose, as his leg starting to threw backward extending his body. At the same time, the boulder is moving forward grafually and it's halfway to the near of the cliff for just some short time. It's obvious that he grow stronger with strength from all the training, but he need more. Xzelaxer sop hsi pushing and stand firm, tall and straight again. "Time for another round. Boulder, here i come!" said Xzelaxer preparing for another push.

Xzelaxer limber up a little more. He extended his right arm straight to the left bending it. He give a little smirk, as he try to get back to his previous pose starting to tey pushing the boulder. The whether is starting to get hot, but due to the waterfall, it's not that hot anymore. Even though it's kind of cold, Xzelaxer's sweat is falling. He's using his tons of energy to push the boulder that stand at his weight high. He give a push that make it go a little further, and quickly before it come back to whether it was before, he give another strong push which help much.

The boulder is starting to get nearer and nearer to the cliff. He just need a little more push to make it touch each other, as well as completing this warm-up exercise. He wanted to try kicking the boulder, pushing the boulder with his katana but the idea see, stupid like what he did to the frog style climbing. While this long pushing, many memories popped up on his mind, and it's encouraging him to move forward. Many memories of him cannot do anything cause of his weakness. It's encouraging him to finish his duty. And at the end, the roxk touched the cliff, and his excerise completed successfully. Xzelaxer give out a faint smile, breathing heavily and rest beside the boulder.
