Ken continued to push himself as he worked more and more on his speed. He knew that it would not be an easy journey but it was one that he needed. After a few more minutes of working he kicked upwards as hard as he could rotating his body and turning into a dive. Dousing himself in the cold and soothing water he swam down for a few feet enjoying the feeling on his skin before he turned around and swam back up to the surface. Reaching it he once began to tread water with the weights of his head continuing the hardening work as he knew it would soon pay off and he would be able to learn his clan techniques once he had finished this training with unimaginable ability. He would become the strongest Shihouin in history if it meant being a good clan heir, something he knew he not only had to do but badly wanted to do.

A small burn had begun to pulsate in Ken's legs. Looking down he could feel it as he began to breathe in deeply trying to relax away the feeling. He was used to enduring the pain and struggle of fighting but he needed to now more than ever to control himself. Pushing further and further through the pain he knew that he would be glad to be done with this once he finished the training and could truly become a Shihouin warrior. Kens kicks had begun to slow as his shoulders were now under the water leaving only his neck and head exposed. He had purposely begun to pace himself to rebuild strength in them so he could continue to train himself further and further and push his body beyond it's current limits.

For several moments Ken had continued to work on treading water but he was soon growing tired of this exercise both with stamina and patience. Swimming to the edge of the lake he walked out and began to reattach his leg weights as he continued to move from the lake onto dry land. Putting his pants back on and reattaching his long sash he ran over to a nearby wooden post that was staked into the ground. Jumping up and landing on it he held a firm squat position on top of it and began to focus thinking to himself " I have been working on my legs for quite sometime. But speed doesn't only include leg strength it, it includes my entire body..." he thought as he rotated himself around and placed his hands on the wooden post. Pushing himself upwards he performed essentially a hand stand holding himself firmly as he continued to train knowing he was getting somewhere...

Holding his hand stand his body began to tighten as it straightened out and held it's position. Breathing in as deep as possible he relaxed himself holding the stand, bending at the knees and hips his legs came in. As this happened he held them there for a brief moment before re-extending them out essentially doing an upside down squat. He repeated this motion several times strengthening his core as best he could as well as challenging his upper body even more. All around his base drops of water and sweat had begun to hit the top of the post. Watching this occur a hint of a smile began to form across his face as Ken was filled with extreme happiness knowing that he was actually becoming what he had dreamed of for so long.

Ken had been doing this for nearly 2 minutes before he knew he had to start doing something else lest he become exhausted. Straightening his legs back out and holding the position for a moment before he began to start doing vertical push ups. Focusing himself as he continued to do this for a longer period of time he was beginning to slow down again. It seemed almost as though Ken would need to just start jogging in order for him to actually be able to strengthen himself without tiring to quickly. He clearly needed some kind of easier work out to slow himself down and regain some strength...

Focusing himself he pushed off of the post panting heavily as he landed. Feeling himself grow accustomed to the weights he began to pick up a heavy jog moving towards around the large clearing that they were training in he needed to slow himself down and regain some control over his body so that he could continue training and not just pass out from exhaustion like some fool. Ken knew this jogging, while it felt rather lame and boring to him, was vital to his ability to continue training and getting stronger and stronger. His legs had soon begun to move with the weights easily, he would need to add more weight once this cool down jog was finished and begin accustoming himself to the added weight. It was something that would happen soon, something he would want to prepared for.

Ken had been continuing his jog for a little while having done several laps he moved to where he found his weights. Sitting down and breathing heavily he looked at the weights as he began to add more. He reached now 30 on each leg and nodded to himself as he began to rise and started to do walking lunches. He was going to become as fast as possible and would work his legs until they collapsed if that was what it took. He wouldn't allow himself to disappoint his clan and would continue to train until he was ready to learn what his clan had to teach him. The Hokage herself had told them to train until she placed them into squads, and when that happened he wanted to be the strongest member there. When they went on missions Ken wanted to be able to protect his squad members. When others where in danger he wanted to be the one they would look upon when they needed help, Ken would not rest until he had achieved this.

Ken continued jogging around the large training grounds with his now increased weights he wanted to ensure that he was strong enough. Ken wasn't going to give in, however he might need to take some kind of break soon. While he had a pretty good amount of endurance he did not have infinite amounts meaning that it would be necessary for him to take some kind of break. If he didn't he would burn out before he was able to complete his training and then he would have to wait longer. This was something that he would not want to allow to happen, after finishing his jogging session he slowed himself down and sat next to the nearby stream breathing heavily. He began to think " My speed will not be solely dependent on my absolute physical strength... but also my ability to channel chakra... I should take my break as a time to work on chakra control..." he thought to himself as he began to focus his chakra heavily into varying body parts.

Sitting in a relaxed position he began to move his chakra across his body. He needed to first spread it across his entire body and then start focusing it into specific limbs. Remaining where he was a faint white outline of chakra could be seen across his body as his chakra spread out. Soon Ken would be ready to resume his regime of training which was what he badly wanted. Calming himself down he allowed his chakra to continue to sweep throughout his body. As this happened he soon began to intensify it knowing that the chakra would be ready to divert into certain limbs and begin the real chakra control and work. He was finally calming himself as his heart rate and breathing began to become more and more regular and soon would be ready for more physical training.

Ken had remained in a resolute and calm position as he focused himself knowing he was close. Focusing the white outline that was surrounding his body began to slowly fade as his chakra began to move into his legs. He was going to need to focus it there as the rapid circulation of it began to slowly ebb away at the deep exhausted feeling that had overrun them. Remaining mostly still the only motion that did occur was the rhythmic movement of his chest up and down as he continued his extremely controlled breathing. His heart rate and breathing had now reached a very normal and manageable level as his break to work on chakra control had succeeded in relaxing himself. He knew he was close to reaching some kind of mid way point, he could feel himself growing faster and stronger and knew he had to keep it up.

Kens chakra levels had been fluctuating for quite sometime as he calmly stopped and moved from his position. Standing he began to look at the others, he had been training for sometime and yet no one else had showed up, Ken shrugged and simply began to stretch himself out. Having taken a small break he would need to prepare himself before he once more started his rigorous training sessions to enhance his speed. Ken was probably already as fast as a weak special jounin but after this he would be as fast a full fledged jonin, of course a regular full fledged jonin. Anyone that had trained as rigorously as Ken had would clearly be far superior to him. However he wanted to be faster meaning he wouldn't soon give in.

Ken moved forward and placed one leg out in front of himself stretching backwards allowing his hamstrings to stretch. They had grown very tight from his heavy use of them and he needed to ensure that they were properly loosened so that he could continue his intense training in a few moments. Raising his arms in front of himself as well he began to stretch them across his body attempting to make sure he was ready for his next session. He didn't want it to end as quickly as the last, after his arms were done he began twisting his upper torso stretching out his back before he grabbed several more weights and began to strap them to his upper body as well.

After strapping the several new weights onto his body Ken moved slowly back to the water. Reaching it he began to tread once more knowing that he would successfully be able to increase his muscles strength doing this. He was also clearly enjoying the nice break from the heat of the day combined with his increased body temperature from the hard physical activity. He was going to do his best to get stronger no matter what and while he struggled in the water to keep up this pace he knew that he would be able to accomplish his goal if he only maintained his drive and focus. Swimming as hard as before he slowly began to intensify his strokes knowing that he needed to keep his pace up so that he could accurately increase his muscles strength and truly make himself faster.

Ken had continued his pace of treading water for several minutes now before diving into the water abruptly and beginning to do laps. He needed to ensure that he diversified his work out and successfully worked all of his muscles. If he wanted to increase his entire bodies speed by one rank he couldn't afford to leave anything out. Moving back and forth between the ends of the small lake he was going to make sure he was done by the time the Hokage came back. Ken wanted to be ready for her lessons when she came meaning that he had to have all of his training for this done by the time she finished her office work so that he could actually learn whatever she had to offer. He had been studying three different styles, two of which were taijutsu and one kenjutsu. While all of his studying was merely research he felt that he was most definitely ready to begin learning the styles and hoped she could help him with at least one, although secretly he hoped it was his clans techniques. He really only needed help with the chakra control and usage when it came to that, he doubted that she would be of much more use when it came to Shihouin techniques, they were very secretive...

 Toshusai Manami
[Genin] [Ranmaru] [Konoha] Manami wasn't at all bothered when one of the taijutsu users addressed him, keeping his mind on the sky. Deciphering clouds was too hard during certain days, and this was one of them. He wasn't going to spend time just sitting there, thinking of nothing. That would be a very lax form a meditation, and he wasn't a very physical person, so he didn't need that. As his deep purple hues gazed upward, causing what to some would be a painful position of his neck, a familiar voice projected itself into his hazy mind. It was familiar, one that he had heard before, but it had been awhile. He couldn't quite place his finger on the person, until his mind awoke, and it all clicked in place. It was Saiyuri, the 'mentalist,' as he sometimes liked to call her. She had been there during the bijuu war, and he hadn't seen her since.
Manami stopped to look about and find her, since hearing her voice meant that she was close by. It didn't take long to spot the familiar figure. A smile curled the end of his feminine lips as he shifted his weight onto one hand, and waved to her. Saiyuri-sama, it's been awhile. He thought, keeping his mind open so that she could hear him.
