Welcome to Gaia! ::

Urza nodded making the hand seal once more and focusing on her energy. Paying close attention to the feeling of her body as she filled herself up with chakra. Urza made a note of every little detail. Her breathing pattern, that seal she was using, the number of beads of sweat rolling down her back. Everything. Urza could tell her chakra reserves had increased a bit because as she was filling herself up with energy she noticed it took longer to reach her max point. Urza would have to remember to thank Miyako for showing her this training exercise. It was a lot more efficient than the one she had been using, and it didn't maker her tired. When Urza finally felt like she was going to pop she began to let out chakra build-up until she restored herself to her normal amount.

Urza figured after one more round of chakra build up she could move herself on to another exercise. But what? Maybe she would sit and keep Miyako company and than figure out something from there. Urza was in no rush to go off on her own again, as she found it to be particularly boring, even if she did get a bit more done on her own. Urza took a few deep breaths and than began filling herself up with chakra once more. Slowly she reached her peek and had to purge herself of her excess. She had done it! For a girl who didn't know much about chakra she was starting to really get the hang of it. Urza looked over to Miyako. "I remember you saying earlier they separate people into teams of 3. How do they choose which three stay together?" Urza was hopping they did it by specialization, it would mean she would have better chance of being put on Miyako's team.

Urza sighed, that was good. She didn't feel like she fell to much in the same category as any of her friends, but she supposed it didn't help worrying about it. After all what Miayko said was true. Their teacher was rather unpredictable, and if Urza suspected anything to be true she knew she would simply end up being wrong. Still it was nice to hear that she had a pretty good shot at being paired up with Miyako and either Alucard or Kina. "Guess there in no sense in worrying about it." Urza lay back on the grass and looked up at the sky. It was so peaceful. She wondered if it would still look like that when she graduated. "I wonder if there are any jobs for students like us to do around town." Urza thought about all the things she was going to need to craft her shields and Miayko's puppets, "Materials arn't cheap."

Urza listened as Miyako explained how the mission system of a village worked. it all seemed rather complicated to Urza. But if money meant money she would have to seek out a few missions to do. Urza needed to amass the components needed to forge her shields. If she were to become a guardian like she one day hoped to she would need to learn to forge her own equipment. It was a vital step in any knights path. To become a specialist was to give your heart and soul to your people in one for or another, and for Urza to be ready to do that she would need to make sure she was physically ready for the task. Urza headed over to a tree near where the two girls were training and heaved herself up up into the tree and planted herself on a branch. Carefully she stood up on that branch trying to maintain her balance. When all was stable, she bent her legs, and launched herself to another branch, landing cleanly.

Urza felt the branch bend a bit under the weight of her and her armor. Urza was curious about how many branches she would be able to jump to before one decided to snap, or until she fell. The very thought of it made Urza smile. Something about a challenge like this always got the fires in Urza's belly to start cooking. Motivation, it allowed people to do all sorts of things that they could only dream of. Carefully Urza bent her legs, sighting another branch that looked like it would be able to hold her weight. Pushing off the branch Urza jumped, reaching out for the branch she was aiming to land on. Her jump however fell short and Urza fell a bit before catching on to a lower hanging branch. Carefully Urza pulled herself up letting out the breath she hadn't noticed she had been holding. I'll have to be more careful. Urza thought to herself standing up on the branch once more.

Urza looked at the branch above her. The one she had been aiming for before. Even from only a few feet below it looked far away. Urza decided she had but once choice. She would jump using as much force as she could to get as high as she could. Urza bent her knees and than took off, feeling the branch she had been standing on bend a bit from her force as she jumped. She managed to just reach the higher branch and used her momentum and strength to swing herself on top of it. And her feet touched down she put her hand against the trunk. These trees were much more delicate than the great big oaks the grew in her homeland.

Urza saw a branch a bit lower down that would be good. Urza didn't think twice about it as she lept from her current branch to the next. However as she landed on the branch she heard the familiar snap of wood, followed by a swift plummet to the ground. Urza covered her head as she fell through the branches with a crash on the ground. If she hadn't been wearing armor, it most likely would have hurt a lot more than it did. But even with the shell of steel it still knocked the wind out of the poor girl. She lay there for a bit gasping for air and tugging at her collar until she was finally able to get her breathing back under her control. Urza looked up to the tree she fell from with a smile. It had bested her this time, but next time would be different.

Urza lay were she was waiting for her breathing to stabilize. She had taken quite the nasty spill and she didn't want to push herself to hard. After all this was just friendly training. Urza rolled herself over and pushed herself up against the tree. Besides she was in no rush. She had been training so hard lately that even if she took this tree exercise a bit slow it wouldn't put to much of a dent on her regime. Though as Urza though about it she still had a lot to do. She wasn't nearly nimble enough to master fighting with shields, nor was she informed enough to know how to smith them properly. Urza sighed getting to her feet. The more she thought about how much she had to do, the more she realized that she didn't have time to wait.

Urza smiled as she looked around the tree for the next branch. For whatever reason this training had put her in a particularly good mood. Urza spotted a god branch limb a few feet out that would be perfect for her next jump. Urza pictured the jump in her head before attempting it, doing this always seemed to lead to a more successful jump. Urza bent her knees and took off. The branch bending a bit under the force exerted from her body as it pushed off the limb. Urza flew through the air like a great metal bird, reaching out her hand to catch hold of the branch. Using her momentum Urza sung herself up and landed gracefully on tree limb. With another successful jump under her belt Urza was feeling quite confident. Urza was glad these trees were here, they provided both a beautiful scenery and doubled as great training equipment.

Urza looked around for another branch. She had made it pretty high up in the tree, and most of these higher branches looked thin and weak. If she so much as put half her weight on them she was sure they would break under the pressure. It looked like the only way was to go back down the tree, but she had to be careful. The force of impact going down was much higher than the force going up. If she wasn't careful about how she distributed that force she would find herself getting the wind knocked out of her on the ground again. She couldn't let that happen, she was so close to being done. As Urza placed her hand on the truck she scoured the lower branches until finding one that looked thick enough to hold her weight even as it was falling. Urza jumped off the limb catching a few smaller ones on the way down to slow her fall. As she hit the limb it bent and shook under the force, but didn't snap.

Urza was now about half way up the tree, she would have to be careful as this was the point she fell last time to. Some of the branches looked deceptively strong, but would easily snap under just the right force. Urza looked around her. There didn't seem to be much but small branches that didn't look like they could hold her weight. Maybe if she was careful however she could spread it out in a way that the limb would just bend a lot. Urza took off, looking to reach for the biggest of the branches around her. As Urza stretched out her hand to catch the branch, she instantly realized it was not going to hold her weight. The best she could do was slow herself down to try and fall and catch the thicker lower branches before she hit the ground. Urza grabbed on to the branch and almost instantly it snapped and she began to fall. Trying not to panic Urza reached out for a thicker branch, catching one just before she hit the ground. The downward force pulled on her arm as she flipped herself under than on top on the branch. It was a pain, but it didn't hurt nearly as much as hitting the ground from the height would have.

Urza made her way down a couple more branches carefully. One more good jump and she could call her monkeying around quits. Urza found a good branch to end on. It was a bit out of her reach but if she swung off a higher branch onto it it would be doable. It was a good test of her dexterity, as she would have to be quick and light in order to make it work. Urza though over in her head how the steps would work, than closing her eyes she asked for The Makers grace. Without pause Urza jumped, using a higher branch to pick up momentum and land safely at her destination. Urza than dropped strait down from that branch to the ground rolling to avoid injury. Urza popped up and took a few steps back looking at the tree, all in all she had done a pretty fantastic job of scaling it. And now she knew some useful tips for tree climbing, always a plus.

Walking around the tree for a moment to see if he could find out how it was growing so big, Makoto finally realized something as he looked down to the ground in search of his answers. Of course... that had to be the answer. Sun light and the food in the ground was the source of the tree's natural food sources, but was that everything that he needed to know about the trees? Nope, it sure wasn't. Shaking his hands for a moment more to numb the pain, Makoto reached out to the trees bark before grabbing a piece of it. Finally grabbing a good piece for him to study and understand more, the young shinobi started to examine the bark of the tree and studied it for hardness and to get a basic understanding of how tough the wood was. It was all interesting... wood was a natural material and a resource to be used. it would take time to grow an entire forest of trees like this one, but it was perfectly safe to say that a tree like this could produce a lot of perfect stuff for the village. But at that very moment, he finally understood the beginning of the villages... Each had it's own beginning with the same element. It started with this material, Wood... the first material.

Urza Let out a deep breath and she jumped back into the tree. Skillfully she caught on to a limb and hung there like a rag doll. To others it may look like what she was doing was pointless, but for her it was a vital part of training. Having the endurance to tote around heavy weapons and armor was what her clan was known for. She had to make sure when the time came that she was strong enough, fast enough, and had enough stamina to use those weapons effectively in combat. Urza knew at some point there would come a limit to her speed and at that point she would have to learn as much as she could about battle tactics in order to remain as much of a threat as people of the same level. As another minute passed Urza felt she was going strong, she wasn't slipping, and she had no desire to let go.

Urza felt the familiar burn in her arms that she got whenever her arms were put under a lot of stress to test their strength. Urza closed her eyes focusing on her breathing. In.... Out... Using her core muscles to hold herself up instead on just her arms she felt the stress ease a bit. There was no doubt in her mind that she would have to let go soon so she would just have to make sure she held on until her body quit for her. Urza had always been suborn like this in training. Even when she knew sooner or later she would have to drop anyway, she would hold out. Urza always thought that it was because she pushed herself that extra bit that she was doing more work, and getting better than those that gave up slightly sooner. It was a dumb idea, as 10 seconds of holding onto a tree was not going to make that much a difference between her or anyone doing the same exercise. But something in Urza was a fighter like that. Always going until the last punch. Urza counted down minute four of ten.

The burn quickly became to much for Urza to bare and she dropped down from the tree landing with a heavy clunk. Urza stretch out her arms to try and work away the stiffness that took over her muscles and joints when she kept them locked in a position like that. Urza was proud with the progress she was making. She looked back to earlier that day when just a few laps around the track put her over the edge, and here she was jumping through trees and hanging for extended periods of time, and yet her body was holding up fantastically. Though she knew she needed to start working her mind and soul as well as her body, or she would wind up heavily unbalanced in the three areas, if she wasn't already. Urza was just better at physical tasks so they had always seemed more fun for her. She knew that was an unbalanced and bad way to train, but it had always been the truth.

Urza's arms were feeling up to snuff again as she got ready to jump back into the tree. Overall she would say her training was going quite well. She hadn't be seriously injured or passed out in quite a while. Indeed everything was going much smoother than Urza had though it would at the beginning of her training regime. If she could keep up the pace she was going she was sure she would soon be strong enough to be a valuable asset to her team. She had to make sure she was strong enough to shield everyone in danger, and strong enough to push back against the tides of darkness so that they did not overwhelm her. It was going to be a tricky task and a long road, but Urza was feeling a fire in her belly. Her motivation burning as it never had before.

Urza had to drop from the tree once more and her core muscles began to feel the wear and tear of hanging in a tree for to long. She would have to give them a good moments rest before she could spring back into training. Urza didn't mind the wait, but the fact it consumed time always bugged her a bit. If she could live through the wait, but without it taking any time, than life for Urza would be perfect when it came to training. Alas that was not how the world worked, so Urza just had to sit there and wait for her body to do its thing. She would be back in the action in no time. And with more determination than she had before. Failure is funny like that. It either drives you away in fear, or challenges you to rise to the occasion.

After all that time of thinking about trees and natural resources, finally he felt as if his body was ready for another run around. This time however he was going to stretch his legs out as fast as he possibly could in the next hour or less of running, this was the beginning of his dex training that he needed to pick up on. Jumping up and down, Makoto made a dash for the first tree that was at the other side of the clearing. breathing heavily by the moment, he continued to push himself as hard as he could in order to make the fastest time that he possibly could for himself to beat. pushing himself and his limits that he thought he could surpass easily, finally makoto had finally made it to the first part of his ten tree runs. This training was suppose to teach him how to use dexerity to go faster and to protect himself, it was safer to say that he may have set himself a good goal to beat... even now.

Urza held one for her life as she counted down the last seconds to success. When at last she hit 60 seconds she let go of the branch, falling to the ground. Urza lay on her back with a big smile on her face. She had done it! Once more she had tried her hardest, and for it had been rewarded with personal achievements. While other ninjas sat around and did nothing Urza the knight was attempting to make a name for herself. She was becoming stronger so that she could be the guardian of Otogakure. The shield of her people. Urza sat on her knees and folded her hands across her chest. Quietly she gave thanks to The Maker for giving her the strength to get through what she had, and asking for His blessing to help her through what was yet to come.
