The feeling of being tired had become so natural to Orion that being awake and bright wasn't something that he was even used to anymore. He wasn't sure he even understood what the feeling itself meant anymore. Orion meditated on his own in training field in Konohagakure, a place that he had taken to teaching many Genin to and training himself there. He had decided to use this place as his training grounds because it was quiet here. He was not disturbed by outside forces and since Hensou had taken over the village as their own, his skills increased a great deal here. Orion had periods of time where the only way he was able to keep alive was by eating and energizing himself. He slept maybe... twice during those periods mainly because he believed that getting stronger was more important than his overall health.
Whatever you sliced it, Orion was sleep deprived. His training had given force of will to overcome any hallucinations and such that were displayed because of his over-exhaustion but really nothing he could handle. There were times that he didn't sleep because he was troubled with things. Of course, at this point, these things should not have disturbed him but because they did, sometimes his own fright got the better of him. People wondered how a man could survive this long without any sleep but, in the past, that's almost how the Yuanjia worked. He remembered his mother and father having severe bags under their eyes before he started being trained mercilessly. He never thought for himself to go through the same thing but look at him now... He knew this was pointless to think of. He had done this to himself, and if he wasn't born into such a family... No, wait, this was of consequence either! His family had given him strength and strength that the Hensou prided him on. He couldn't let anybody down, including himself!
Orion stood to his feet, and made a hand seal, that being of the tiger, quietly saying to himself, "Katon: Kage Bushin!" Before him appeared just a single other clone, as Orion felt the heat from the clone. These clones were hot even for him but he could normally clash with it without feeling too much pain from it. Still, as an extra precation, Orion made a series of hand seals, ending with the tiger once more, "Fenghuang Kangle Jutsu..." A burst of flames suddenly surrounded Orion in the shape of a phoenix, this being enough to combat the one clone he had summoned. The flames flowed around him, as the clone dashed at him as quickly as it could have, jumping into the air, turning itself down towards Orion, pointing its foot down at him. Orion caught his foot and threw him away, as the clone quickly slid across the ground, rushing back at Orion. Orion took a stance, not taking his eyes off the clone. He struck at the clone, not taking any chances to miss, the clone dodging his palm attack, and sliding underneath Orion.
The clone started to send a blow to Orion's back, but Orion quickly turned around and ducked, quickly sweeping the clone off its feet. Before it could fall back down, Orion spun his leg around, slamming it in the stomach, following up with another kick that made it fly backwards against a fence that was put up around the training grounds, as it disappeared into a burst of fire sparks. Orion calmed down, and sighed, realizing that it took much longer to defeat that Fire Clone than usual. He sat back down and crossed his legs, figuring that something about his attack was off. Was he holding back? No, no... There must have been something else. Oh well, only time would tell. Even though he only used three techniques to defeat it, it should have been much quicker than that. He even thought he didn't use enough strength with his last attack, Huǒyàn Xuànfēng. Regardless, he'd just need to work harder on this and then he'd reach a brand new limit! His strikes were quick but his speed itself was not... Could he become faster and stronger at the same time? No, this was impossible. If you wanted to land a decent hit, you had to be aggressive and hit them as hard as you could. His power was enough to make two strikes from his legs, throw a clone off their feet and smash them into a fence... but he needed to take all the variables. Anything and everything could be one's own detriment when it came to things like this.
