Welcome to Gaia! ::

while reading the names on the Memorial Stone Tairu misinterpreted it's purpose. Viewing it almost like the plaque at the bottom of a trophy indicating who had previously won the award. Tairu saw the names as heroes who had their names carved into history. He failed to comprehend that it was actually a testament to the loss of greatness that the village endured in order to survive. This young academy student full of potential would need to learn much more about the shinobi world if he was going to survive. I want to see my own name on this moment to cement my place among the stars in a worldly location. thought Tairu as he sat in front of Memorial Stone. The bleeding on his chin had stopped but the area was still tender.

Tairu took out his academy scroll and once more he resumed his push up position. His arms had gotten relaxed due to his resting and they were acting slow. Tairu did three push ups and then stretched out his arm muscles as he tried to get them active again. Feeling a slight cramp in his left arm Tairu stretched it out harder in order to get rid of the muscle cramp. His body was a lot like his arms were and Tairu discovered that he need to do a little warm up exercise before he got back into doing his push ups. Tairu stood up straight with his feet pushed together and his arms out in a t. He then began to swing his arms up and down as he simultaneously brought his legs out and in. Doing this for three minutes, Tairu got his heart pumping faster and got his body ready for physical activity. Ceasing his warm up exorcise of Jumping jacks, Tairu resumed his push up training.

(ignore)

The pain quickly returned to Tairu's mind as it became stronger and raced up and down the muscles in his arms. each time Tairu lowered his body he felt like he had become five pounds heavier. His muscles were becoming weaker with each push up that Tairu did. I must continue in order to become stronger, otherwise I will remain a weakling and failure. Pushing himself hard, Tairu continued onward forcing himself to move against the will of his own body. It screamed at him to stop and he screamed back no.

Tairu's persistence was justly rewarded. As he forced him self to continue with the exorcise the pain in his muscles slowly waned until it disappeared completely. Good, now I can continue unhindered Tairu thought as his body submitted to his will and went along with his mind's commands without hesitation or complaint. Tairu forced himself to breath in through his noise and out through the mouth in order to slow his heart rate. Using this breathing technique Tairu managed to drastically curtail his ever climbing heart rate and slow it down making his exorcise much more peaceful. Tairu also slowed down the speed at which he did the push ups. He did all off these things to extend the length of time that could do these push ups for.

Tairu didn't realize that his slip up had cramped his upper right arm. The pain was slightly delayed and suddenly hit Tairu as he was on the downward half of a push up. As his arm gave out Tairu tried to stabilize himself with his left arm to stop himself from falling. Wobbling left and right for a few seconds he managed to find his balance with one hand on the ground. Tairu extended out his right arm in order to stretch out the muscle. At the same time Tairu also began to do some one handed push ups. Doing the one armed push ups made Tairu's left arm tire quickly so once had finished stretching the muscles in his right arm Tairu went right back to doing the push ups with two hands. "Looks like I have to become a lot stronger before I can do one handed push ups." Tairu said out loud to himself.

Tairu was going strong now, he was really into his training. His heart raced as blood was pumped quickly throughout his body as a result of Tairu's increased physical effort. His clothes were drenched with sweat but Tairu was not prepared to stop unless he completed the training. Tairu thought about the future while he did his push ups. Someday I'm going to have a title too, it will be something like "The Gentle Fist of Konoha" or "The Lightning Fist of Konoha". Tairu pictured himself clear as day, he was a hero. It was strange, many sought to be the Hokage but Tairu wanted something much more. Tairu wanted to be a hero of war, he desired battle, he was tired of being the "Failure of the Hyuuga" and he knew that these push ups were the first step on a difficult road.

Upon arriving at the training area, which was an open field near the memorial stone Tairu drew a circle on the ground, which had a radius of four feet. He then stood directly in it's center. His students arrived shortly after Tairu had finished drawing the circle. He sized them up almost immediately, one was obviously a power type, he was quite large and wore his clothing too loose for any speed based attack due to the fact they would get in the way. The second one was a speed type. She was quite short and wore skin tight clothing with her gear firmly attached to her body. The last one was apparently and idiot because he charged straight at Tairu after entering the field. Tairu side stepped the gennin and then tripped him as he ran by. "Now then, since your all so eager to get going we'll start training right now. Your goal is to knock me out of the circle but I doubt you'll even be able to hit me so start with that." Tairu said to the three genin.

Sayori ran forward making hand seals, Ram, Snake, Tiger thought Tairu as he watched her hands. Sayori yelled "bunshin no jutsu" and created several clones of her self to try and confuse Tairu. Sayori created six clones and then rushed Tairu from six different angles. Tairu changed his stance slightly and took out each clone as they penetrated the circle until he made solid contact with Sayori. She was knocked backwards out of the circle. "That was a good try, but maybe you should work together." Tairu told them. At this point the three genin backed off and went behind some bushes to talk out a strategy. While Tairu waited for the genin to come up with a plan he took out his sketch book and started to draw a picture. After about five minutes Tairu's picture was taking form. It was a sketch of Tairu tossing the idiot genin out of the circle. When Tairu was just about done drawing his picture he saw that the genin had left the bushes.
