The Great Echo's Training session!

Training for:Health,Speed and Chakra


It is a sunny midday in Konoha, the sun is obstructed by light cloud wisps, there is seemingly nothing that could ruin this day, but suddenly as if by schedule, the familiar screams fill the village "ECHO UCHIHA!!!" The Anbu are once again giving chase to the crafty Outcast down a civilian filled street Echo ducking and weaving through the crowd the Anbu struggling to give chase through the streets as they do not wish to knock over any civilians,Echo suddenly dashes along the walls now going roof bound the Anbu in pursuit smirking just gaining the advantage now that there free to go full speed they take action immediately leaping and giving chase.

Meanwhile in a dark alleyway a bluish yellow cloth drops revealing the grinning young Shinobi the Angered hot and slightly paint covered Anbu too clouded by there rage to see that the Echo there chasing is but a mere Kage Bunshin. "Heh suckers" He chuckles turning to walk out of the other side of the alley, only to bump into a chest,Stepping back once and looking up Echo is greeted by the Familiar mask of 'Wolf' "Ah..HI! I'm so happy to run into you! I just saw a strange man running by with a paint can I think he's up to no good you should give cha-" Echo pauses watching the Anbu Member cross his arms "Your not buying this are you..?" Echo's grin grows strained as he sweat drops stepping back away from the Anbu who's clearly not amused and advancing,Echo thinking quickly points outwards with his left hand towards the other end of the alleyway "Ah! That lady just lost her top!!!" He exclaims and Wolf succumbing to his baser instincts turns before realizing his mistake and whipping forward to try and catch Echo,Only to run into a Log with a note reading' And the log said:Fear not to use me for I am thy protector,Amen' Wolf bows his head in prayer momentarily before leaping off again to find the Prankster.Echo waits in his hiding place under the cross base of a shop for around ten minutes before he slides out and makes his way towards the Training grounds;Training ground Three,Once he arrives he slides his Bandana over his face obscuring his nose and mouth from view his Konoha plate positioned over his mouth he also slides his goggles down over his eyes,He walks towards the three training logs his left hand sliding against his Kunai satchel before it suddenly blurs forward sending one sinking into the center of the log and before the blade even makes contact with the wood two shuriken are deposited from Echo's right sleeve his hand lashing across his body to the right sending the blades to be embedded to the lower parts of the other two logs to signify the debilitating damage there meant for as to take out the legs of a live target,Echo knows his place on his team long range support if he's getting the glory he's doing something wrong he leaves the flashy stuff to his brothers..Sure he gets a bit jealous sometimes but such is the allure of the lime light he ignores it a Ninja is not meant to be seen.

The young Uchiha looks up towards the morning sky taking in the sight of the clouds shining as they move in front of the sun slightly,He smiles behind his bandanna before walking towards the forest leisurely only picking up the pace...when a boulder is hurled towards him Echo leaping into the tree's a laugh familiar to Echo's ears sounding which causes Echo to sigh "KOROSHI WHAT THE HELL!!?? YOU COULD HAVE CRUSHED ME!!" To which the blonde Uchiha blinks at "Ah Quit bein' a Whoosey! You dodged!!" Echo's left eye twitches at his brothers antics Koroshi soon to fall victim to the prank masters wrath.
Echo had his legs braced he knew Koroshi was a great sensor and would have Echo picked out in an instant him hiding meant nothing,Echo kicked off of the branch landing a few feet from his blonde brother fighting the urge to strike a pose "So Koroshi I need some help with my wind training wanna help?" Echo grinned up at Koroshi the mischievous glint in his eyes missed by the blonde Uchiha,Koroshi Answered quickly "Sure! Sure!" Echo resisted the urge to let out maniacal laughter and pointed south with his right hand "Good I need you to stand over there and brace yourself and feel free to start pelting me with shit" Echo explained smiling as Koroshi nodded excited at the prospect of throwing more things at his brother quickly moving into position picking up a rock "Okay Koroshi whenever your ready!" Echo claps his hands together a wide grin on his face as Koroshi lets loose with the first rock...Which is blown back by a massive blast of wind Echo's palms having shot forward performing the Futton: Daitoppa or Wind Release great breakthrough the rock hits Koroshi's forehead shattering bracing his stance as he's blown back slightly,But Koroshi is not an ordinary person he strong arms through gritting his teeth as he stands strong against Echo's wind technique Echo's laugh ringing through his ears "THAT WAS FOR THE GAME OF TAG!!" Echo's grin widens as he channels more chakra into the technique "And this!" He extends his arms even further letting the power through as Koroshi is blown off of his feet tree's being knocked over Koroshi flipping in mid-air when the Pressure stops Echo bracing his stance now summoning a pair of Tonfa's as just as he predicted Koroshi charges forward a wide grin on the blondes face "Is for my Weapon training..." He flips the Tonfa the left long end braced against his forearm the right extended to attack as he charges forward as well to spar with the best Taijutsu master of the three brothers.

Echo's Tonfa are surrounded in a blue aura of chakra as the two brothers close the distance Koroshi pushing off of his right foot spins in a counter clockwise motion the same leg snapping out towards Echo's lower jaw to which the young weapons master responds with a duck and sweep of his arms,Koroshi's left leg kicks out as Echo's arm is brought upwards impacting against Echo's second raised Tonfa a blast of wind shoots Koroshi's leg back the force of Koroshi's kick sending Echo skidding back and tumbling before he stops himself De-summoning his Tonfa for a segmented staff Koroshi unfortunately recovered before Echo and was already leading his famous charges which many people say are unstoppable,Echo's eyes widen at the display and he rolls away from a punch pushing the staff against the ground and with a show of agility he flips his body upwards slinging the end of the staff towards a charging Koroshi impacting against his left pectoral...unfortunately the wood of the Bo staff shatters against Koroshi Echo falling victim to a devastating Hay-maker sending the young Uchiha flying knocked into unconsciousness before he even hit the ground,The impact snaps him out of his unconsciousness coupled with a sound that sends his danger senses into high gear and jumping out of the way before he can fully comprehend his surroundings the sound being his brothers battle cry of "WYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" In his jump away from the small indentation that is Koroshi's attack zone Echo's back right leg stumbles on a tree branch and he trips falling from the tree and righting himself on the ground as he begins to run from the clearing into the dense forest tossing Kunai after Kunai into several tree's as well as into the ground....Unfortunately Koroshi knows not to follow Echo Uchiha...anywhere utilizing his sensor abilities and superior leg strength Koroshi cut's echo off from the right side not catching the smirk on Echo's face as he goes through some discreet hand signs Koroshi tackling a log in his brothers place,A massive yell of exertion a moment later shows Echo yanking upwards on the Kunai from the ground wires surrounding Koroshi attached to the log slamming his back into a tree the log impacting his chest,Echo utilizing a pulley like system of wires and Kunai to allow him to lift his massive brother and the log after predicting Koroshi's next move based on what Echo knows Koroshi knows about him and then in the few moments he was free to run he set up the trap based on his knowledge.
Unfortunately for Echo,Koroshi is not out of this fight,With a show of absolute herculean strength Koroshi pushes his feet against the base of the tree he's tied to and making use of the log protecting him from the wires slicing his skin snaps the wires clean pushing off of the tree and lobbing the Log at Echo,The Uchiha's eyes go wide and he attempts to jump away the log missing is head in his jump but slamming into his stomach knocking the wind out of him and finally bringing the willful trap master down with one last utterance before he passes into unconsciousness "The..Log has abandoned me..all is lost.." It's Koroshi's turn to at this shaking his head 'His brother really is a clown...' he shrugs off the thought gathering his brothers unconscious form to return to the compound the sun setting on the training field as the two bruised brothers leave the clearing one thought going through the unconscious Uchiha's head at the moment "Echo:1 Koroshi:17"

Waking up in a hot day in the Uchiha provided shack outside the remains the of Hidden Leaf Echo Uchiha grimaces at the sunlight his thoughts still plagued over the wherabouts of his brothers,He hops out of bed his Black T-shirt and red boxers revealed as his sleeping clothes,He stands and stretches for a moment working out the kinks in his joints after sleeping in such a state,After his morning stretches he walks towards his case of clothing,He slides on his black Undershirt then his chain mail covering his torso followed by his slightly ruffled dark green flak jacket slightly worn and scuffed by his training sessions with his brothers '...Especially Koroshi' Echo adds mentally,He slides on his loose black Shinobi pants clipping his utility belt around his waist before attaching his satchel to the left side of his hip a Kunai holster wrapped around his right forearm to be drawn with his left,Echo finishes by sliding on Light weight greaves that cover his feet and shins stopping slightly at his knees and then his Vambraces of the same material. The last touch are his pilots goggles and Bandanna style Headband with this he heads out at a slow leisurely place. What used to be a calming walk through the village is now a depressing trudge 'How could this have happened..?' Echo questions to himself observing the destruction as he makes his way to the Training grounds. 'Couldn't we fight back..? Where was Koroshi or Viper in all of this...? Are they alright...They better be alright.' He cuts off his thoughts with a double palmed slapped to his cheeks arriving in the early AM to Training ground 11 He breathes out before sliding on his goggles with a grin "LET'S GO!" He shouts as his training begins.
Echo Dashes towards the forest sliding up his bandanna hiding the lower half of his face from view hopping from tree to tree until he comes to a long lines far from the main training field, He breathes out slowly clasping his hand together to compose himself gathering Chakra as he does so,He begins blurring through the handsigns;Tiger,Ox,Dog,Rabbit and Finally Snake. With that finished his palms shoot forward sending out a great blast of wind "Wind Release:GREAT BREAKTHROUGH!!!" The young Uchiha yells to help his focus as The tree's beginning to crack and blow in half knocking down the Other line of tree's behind them sending them crashing through each other one by one the tree's spiraling from the force of the Great Breakthrough Echo's proficiency with this Technique due to his Wind affinity Which of course is strange for an Uchiha, Echo strangely enough is unable to perform any Fire Techniques which has marked him as a failure in the clan,He pretends it doesn't irk him but it does the ideals beaten into his head by his elders and his own conflicting beliefs causing his disdain for Clans in general and the arrogance that comes with being from a Clan as if your greatness is simply assured,Echo shakes his head of these thoughts letting his Jutsu stop collapsing to his knee's breathing heavily from extended use of the Technique. 'Chakra's getting low..' He comments to himself as he crawls over to a tree that's still standing and leans against it in a sitting position crossing his legs Indian style tilting his head back watching the wind blow north rustling the leaves of the tree,One leaf falls from the tree down towards Echo who raises his left hand to catch it in his open palm. He lowers his hand staring down at the leaf before deciding to continue for today with a simple Chakra control exercise,Leaf cutting was one of the first exercises Echo has performed what use to be a straining tear inducing rage heightening torture method Now soothes the young Uchiha as he begins splitting the leaf starting slowly right down the middle the Wind Chakra slowly grinding against itself in the center of the Leaf as it splits in two at a nice relaxed pace. 'Control...Be as calm as the breeze and as Strong as a Hurricane. Swift as a gust and felt but not seen...I am the Wind' Echo tells himself mentally,This mantra was used in Echo's youth to help him relax and master Leaf cutting. Viper always ribbed him for not being able to make a fire ball...That is until He tore down a forest with his Great Breakthrough Echo remembers that fondly a grin spreading across his face hidden to any observers by the bandanna.

Echo stands after another few leaves and begins walking towards his home ending his Session in the mid-afternoon preparing to search for his brothers.

It is early morning in Konoha the sounds of wood cracking followed by something sliding against something rough radiate from a secluded cabin,inside the young Uchiha Echo is sitting cross legged his left leg over his right,his right foot slid under his left thigh as his right hand slides a Kunai against a smooth piece of wood carving it into a Bokken for training purposes,Echo smiles this act calming him slightly maybe he could take up blacksmithing..? it must be a lot harder then carving a piece of wood. CRACK! Echo's left eye twitches 'Which even now is proving to be a pain' he growls lightly as he tosses yet another failure at carving away,picking up another piece of hardened lumber testing the weight before tossing it aside and grabbing another which seems right to him,He then experiments channeling chakra into it...the piece of lumber promptly cracking in two showing a weak spot in the wood he repeats this process five more times before finding a nice square piece of wood that can support his chakra flowing into it,The wood is triangular in shape 90 Centimeters long and 40 centimeters in diameter,Echo places the blade of his Kunai against the top right edge of the lumber and with slow clean motions of his hand he begins slowly sliding away pieces of wood shaping it carefully slowly his eyes narrowed in concentration as he masterfully carves the piece of lumber. Up smoothly stop a few feet up leaving a chunk of wood to be carved into the handle place hand back at the tip before slowly flicking his wrist up to smooth out the 'blade' which is slowly but surely taking shape. After almost two hours of carving his wooden blade he sets it down sliding the Tsuka in his left hand the 'blade' pressed against his right palm as he straightens out his shoulder to observe how straight the blade is making sure there are absolutely no faults,Satisfied he begins step two.

To Echo's left are three Bronze bands weighted and shaped to slide on the Bokken carved into the shape of a Uchigatana meant for speed that in mind Echo slides one band at the base of the 'blade' one in the center the band tight enough to fasten in place and one just below the tip mimicking the feel of a blade with it's weight for better training,satisfied with that task done he unrolls the training bandages to his right and begins to slowly loop them around the Handle of the Bokken save for the pommel which is left bare.

Echo's fingers curl around the Tsuka of the Bokken his right foot sliding out from under him followed by his left foot sliding against the floor,He grins as he left foot pushes up at the knee straightening himself out as the acts causes him to hop slightly in the air as he raises his finished product into the air with his left hand grinning wide before he gives it a downward test swing which only causes his grin to widen further 'Finally time to get back to my Blade work!' he remarks happily in his head.Rushing over to the far left wall of the shack he places the Bokken against the wall in a slanted position to prevent it from falling due to it's counter weight,After securing his Bokken against the wall Echo makes a dash pushing off with his right foot to leap into the air slightly landing on his back on the bed and with a quick shift of his weight he is placed in a sitting position,He slides his boots out from under his bed and slides them on left foot first followed by his right a strange habit of his that he never quite understood nor does he thinks it matters much just something he's noticed of course he's always cautious never letting something like this slip in case of an assassination of some type involving a scorpion in his boot or something weird like that...Shinobi are a strange lot of people which by association meant he was strange,Keeping that train of thought he slides on his green flak jacket foregoing his goggles today in place of the Konoha headband he keeps just in case his bandanna tears his bangs hand over the headband framing his face going slightly past his cheeks his spiky ebony hair jutting upwards as it's bound by the headband his small pony tail still in place jutting out slightly even his pony tail is spiky another fact he finds strange,He sighs at this shaking his head as he slides on a pair of white fingerless gloves with a steel plate over the back of the hand similar to the ones Kakashi Hatake wore in his famous battle against Zabuza Momochi,Echo can only imagine the clash that must have been Two extremely powerful ninja one wielding the famed Executioners blade which the very thought of makes Echo grin once more 'One day I'll have a sword that's made a legend as well even if I have to make it Myself' He thinks proudly springing off of the bed by bouncing slightly he walks over to where his Bokken was placed and quickly gathers it in a reverse grip in his left hand the blade parallel to his waist as he rushes out the door slamming it behind him.

As he makes his way towards the training field ignoring the destruction of the village around him his mind once again wanders to the whereabouts of his brothers,He can't help but feel helpless in all of this someone just coming in and destroying his home still instills the thought of revenge in his mind and if his brothers have fallen he will have it,A village is a bunch of houses what matters is the people..His family is what matters.

He sighs once more shaking those thoughts away furiously as he stares at the familiar training posts of ground 11 a grin spreading across his face as he flips the handle of His bokken in a clockwise motion positioning parallel to his right foot which he slides back turning his body sideways his right hand gripping the bottom half of the Tsuka,He rolls his neck in a counter clockwise motion rolling his shoulders to loosen his muscles before he raises the Bokken and then swings downwards his eyes narrowing in concentration as he begins the slow process of channeling his wind chakra from his center slowly moving it through his arms and out his palms as he breathes steadily letting the wind Chakra slowly swirl around the blunt 'Blade' of the wooden sword instead of grinding against it like it would a blade for sharpness...it swirls for added force,The Upward followed by a downward follow up swing don't stop as he does uses this strange new method which isn't really new just a different method of Wind manipulation his Chakra and muscles straining as he continues this exercise for hours the sun beginning to hover overhead as he continues the rhythm this imaginary battle with an invisible opponent playing out in the empty field slowly but surely growing in complexity as swerving motions of the balls of his heels are added through to follow up his swings and add more force his feet shuffling as he masterfully swings the blade his muscles slowly memorizing the actions to be performed faster then he can think where the act of the swing simply occurs on instinct 'Muscle Memory is an important part of Kenjutsu Echo never hold back in your training' a strange old voice sounds in Echo's head his eyes never losing the trance like look as he continues slashing through the clearing the wind becoming more visible as his training continues late in the afternoon his muscles beginning to tire and his Chakra beginning to deplete as the dance of the sword continues.

The sun has set now and Echo still hasn't missed a step in his choreographed fight with no one the wind becoming less defined as Echo sweats profusely his breathing becoming more struggled as he continues on before finally he missteps with his right foot over turning as he swings to his left causing him to spin in place twice before falling onto his back his arms stretched out to his sides the bokken still loosely gripped in his right hand as he closes his eyes trying to steady his breathing and calm his slightly aching muscles 'Maybe...That's enough for today' Echo decides as he gazes up at the stars of the night sky 'How long have I been out here...?' He asks himself in his mind before inhaling the scent of the night and the forest slowly the twinkling of the lights in the sky calming Echo's worn mind a streak across the sky catching his attention 'A shooting star!' the young Ninja realizes grinning to himself as he eyes close from the wideness of it A good sign he decides a promise of things getting better he will see his brothers again no doubt about it....But for now....A good nights rest is needed. With that Echo Uchiha closes his eyes and lets sleep take him in the field of the training ground.
