Welcome to Gaia! ::

From oguchi's rice stand. Night went back to the Canyon to follow his team mate.
Its funny, he said hell be here. Oh well since im here already why don’t I break a sweat or two.
Come to think of it, I own a katana but I suck at swordsmanship. Night told himself
Night drew out his katana and didn’t let his chakra flow through it Night then started to swing his katana on the wind making a swift slash as possible. He couldnt even throw a perfect swing, he’s not used on using his katana yet, my arm can’t handle full swings yet.. it kinda feel that my arms are going to break.
Night hold his grip on his sword a little bit tighter then started slashing vertical repeatedly Night started to count how many slices he’ll could make till his totally exhausted. He started off. Ok first slash. One… two… three… four…
an hour later Night kept tracking of how many slashes he made…
three thousand, three thousand and one *pant* *pant* three thousand and two, three thousand and three.
His arm muscles are starting to really give up he felt extreme soreness on his arm muscles. But he continued and kept going on the exercise.
if I want to protect this treasured sword. Id need to learn how to use it, I got to push myself to the limit.
Night totally removed the other technique he was practicing on his mind and kept continuing to exercise his arms.
he made the last slash three thousand and thirty five. he yelled.
Night fell down to the ground covered with sweat, but he had a grin on his face. He was proud of himself that he took himself to the limits.
Night then laid down a little bit then headed down to the village to rest.

311 out of 250.

[Kenjtsu Mastery Rank E]


After the long good rest Night took after his intensive training Night woke up and felt his arms felt different. He stood up and quickly reached for his sword. He smiled while looking at his treasured katana. He slowly drew out his sword he felt his chakra being one with the sword.
“Soon enough, ill be able to use you with full strength, ill do whatever I can to harness your strength and make it my own.”
Night silently spoke to his katana.
Night swung his sword gracefully at the wind
He noticed an improvement on how he swung his sword the last time.
Night started to swing his sword at the wind gracefully.
this feels so much better than the last time.
Night said to himself happily.
Night was still thinking of learning the flying swallow technique but he decided to learn Kenjutsu mastery first as the Flying swallow will be useless without learning any good taijutsu or sword mastery at first.
Night decided that he will focus his studies on the art of kenjutsu.
even if I manage to learn the flying swallow, I don’t think itll be enough to take down an opponent. It will be a useless strength if I had flying swallow but wont be able to hit my opponent.
Night quietly thought to himself.
“so now what should I do. Should I keep doing the exercise?
Night asked himself
And head towards the canyon to train more.
While he was on his way he saw the wooden log that he tried to slash back then.
Night thought of trying out the out come of his past training.
So he stroke the wooden log with katana.
“I made a deeper cut than the last time. I cant wait till ill be able to the whole thing out to pieces.”

[Kenjutsu mastery completion Rank biggrin ]

Continuation.

Night made it towards his training spot on the canyon. As the usual routine he took out his sword stopped his chakra flow and began doing the exercise.
first slash. One, two, three, four, ……
And so on after 1 hour has passed, Night felt that his stamina boosted up too.
Also his speed increased.
three thousand and ninety nine….. four thousand! Four thousand and one four thousand and two!
Night tried hard to beat his old record of three thousand and fifty five and he did succeeded, Night sat down and was proud of himself.
Little by little ill go to my goal! The stronger I get the more ill be able to protect my village and its people Night thought to himself.
Unlike the last time. Night wasn’t fully exhausted but the muscles on his arms were really sore. I guess ill head to the village for something to eat first before going back to train.

Night heads for the Rice stand.

-Goes to Rice stand thread.-

Kenjutsu:Rank C 778/1000 words

After a few hours night woke up from his long sleep.
His stamina was replenished, and he was thinking of going on practicing again.
even though I told myself that I would stop practicing for a few days, I cant really stop my body on doing so.
Night thought to himself
So after standing up from the bed night quickly did some warm up exercises inside his room, one hundred push ups, one hundred curl ups, and a hundred squats would do it.
So Night started his day off by warming up so he could do some sword mastery training again later on.
whew! that warm up kind of made me tired already.
Night told to himself with a happy tone.
After he was warmed up he headed towards the bathroom to brush his teeth, then prepared his supplies to head out to town to get some snacks to eat.
He packed up some fruits to eat and some water and readied his treasured sword.
when ever I look at this sword I remember the good old days in this village.
Night reminisce the old days when he was still young when the villagers were all so kind to him, giving him free good and used clothes.
I would have died a long time ago if it wasn’t for them. I swore to them that ill become stronger so I could protect them, this sword is the proof of that promise.
Night smiled to himself.
Ok its time for me to head out so I could start my practice.
When Night stepped out from the door of the room that he rented, he thought of walking around the village using his hands as a part of his training plan.
it would be a good idea, ill be able to save time while training, it will also strengthen up my upper body.
Then night pictured the image to himself and started to look depressed.
I thought I had came up with a good idea, but I would look stupid if I do that, they’ll probably think im from a circus or something… sigh id be a laughing stock... i dont want that to happen
after that night started to walk outside of the building and head towards the village.
As he was walking out the building a cool wind breeze heads his way.
Fresh desert air, Must be a sign of a good day. Night smiled and kept walking.
Night had some plans on his mind, Night wanted to use a wooden log as a training dummy for his sword mastery training.
Night immediately thought of some materials he was going to need.
He headed for some villagers house since he cant find a decent supply shop around.
Night began asking villagers if they have some rope that he could borrow.
Night walked from house to house of the villagers that he knew.
Luckily at he managed to get one, but on the other hand, he doesn’t have any source of wooden logs since they lived on a desert, trees were scarce.
He remembered that he saw a wooden log back then on his way to the canyon.
Night thought of picking that up and drag it near his training area.
So from the village he walked towards where the canyon is and prepared to continue his swordsman training.
While he was walking, he thought that he could use that time for training.
So Night carrying the big roll of rope on his back he grabbed on to some big stones on each hand to add weight on his body while walking.
Halfway on his way to the canyon, he saw the wooden log that he used before.
Night dropped the two stones aside then started to tie up the log with the rope he had, then after that Night tied the other end of the rope on his waists.
Night picked up the two big stones and started walking again.
“This wooden log is really heavy its really dragging me down.”
Night kept walking till he reached the up hill part of the canyon.
Night looked at the route then looked at his back to check if the log was still intact.
He made a deep long breath then started to walk uphill pulling the huge chunk of wooden log on his back and to big heavy stones.
A few minutes later Night reached his training spot and he was soaked on his own sweat.
This training better pay off Night told himself while trying to catch his breath
*pant* pant* taking deep hard breaths, Night sat down on the wooden log that he
Carried all the way and rested for a few minutes.
After his rest a stood up and removed his coat and put it on the side, he untied and removed the rope from the wooden log then placed it standing up.
Night took out his sword then rose it up In the air, facing the log night closed his eyes, breathed deeply then began focusing for a strike.
Night swing his katana horizontally towards the wooden log and slashes it half way.
so I improved a little from my past training. That’s feels good that my hard work is paying of
Night pulled back his sword from the wooden log then drew it back on the sheath of his sword.
Night took a break from wielding his sword and rather focusing more on his body strength.
I did plenty exercise for my arm strength but I need some on my legs too
Night picked up the rocks that he got from earlier and carried it one on each hand then started to do some squats
one, two, three, four. and so on his training kept on going
If I master atleast a rank B Kenjutsu I would be able to learn a high level “Keninjutsu” (A technique that is a combination of Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu) ill work hard day by day hour after hour till I reach my goals! Ill become stronger and bring honor to this village. Night proudly told himself.

Half an hour of training has passed night did exactly five hundred squats. Night let down of the rocks and sat down.
His legs were a little bit sore but it wont stop him from training, after he sat down to the ground for a minute to rest, he laid his body down and started to do some sit ups
five hundred curl ups this time then ill do five hundred push ups after then ill take a break. On Nights every push, he thought to himself that he was getting stronger little by little. I wonder when can I be a chuunin?
Night stopped doing sit ups and thought to himself.
speaking of being chuunin, when will be the chuunin exams gonna be held and what village? Night thought that he would ask someone as soon as he gets back to the village, and night continued to do the sit ups.
After almost quarter of an hour of sit ups Night finished feeling really exhausted.
I think I should take a break Night reached on his bag and got some snacks while seating on the ground and his back against the wooden log.
too bad I forgot to stop by the rice stand to get some food for later, now im stuck with this fruits. Sigh… better than nothing I guess.
Night to continued to eat up the fruits that he packed up and drank some water from his water bottle. good thing ive brought some water with me, this desert heat makes it exhausting to just stand here. I guess I better conserve this because I don’t want to walk back the towns just to get some water. Itll be waste of time on my side.
Night stood up after his snack and took his sword and went for a quick walk around the canyons.
I don’t want to train with a full stomach I might end up throwing up all the food I ate I better take a time off first and walk around to check out the place if there are still other ninja around training. Come to think of it, since im only a new ninja here. I haven’t really met any other ninja besides the other members of the upcoming team 3, Id be glad to see someone here training hard like me to protect this village *smiles*, come to think of it, I have been hanging out with tayun but I don’t know his ninja abilities yet, also the other guy.. uhh… whats his name again. I forgot, ill just ask tayun if I see him around.
Night was excited to see someone training or to meet someone new, he walked and walked for a few minutes and looked around but he didn’t saw anyone near his training area. Night felt he wasn’t full anymore and decided to walk back to his training spot to continue his training.
I forgot what im going to do, oh I think im on the push ups part now.
Night laid down the ground with his chest towards the floor and started doing some pusch ups.
wow this is getting pretty easy since I started to exercise my upper body,
Night started to lift up his left hand and did a one hand push up on his right.
two hundred fifty on the right and two hundred fifty on the left should do it
After almost an hour night finished his exercise,
Sweat was bursting from his body and was dripping all over the ground.
If I don’t drink some more water at this rate ill be dehydrated
Night said to himself so Night went to fetch his water container and unconsciously drank his water and he sprayed some on his body to get rid of the heat.
Im so refreshed! Night energetically yelled!
But he saw his water container dried to the bone! He got mad at himself.
I forgot I should have conserved on consuming my water
He told himself with a depressed tone.
I guess ill need to head back to the village now. I might die if I train so hard under the desert heat without water. Ill probably get some of my curry rice too~ ill die if I eat some more fruits I don’t really liked them. And maybe I could get a hold of Tayun or the other guy. *Obviously forgotten his name* and ask them for a spar. So I could try out what ive been training for in real battle.
Night packed up his stuff, picked up and wore his coat again then went walking towards the village.

Rank B Kenjutsu

-Walking towards the rice stand.-

Sigh I wonder what should I do now, im dying to try my kenjutsu on a spar battle but none of my team mates arrived, they might haven’t been on the rice stand yet, or the store owner simple forgot to tell them my message, oh well I cant keep doing nothing forever, I am going to test my own progress.
Night put his belongings on a reasonably further place then Night stood up for about 10 feet from the wooden log he set up earlier on his training.
If I slash this one down then ill be out of training dummy, sigh I really wished we had a tool shop around the village somewhere, so I could get my own supplies.
Even so Night continued to focus on his training.
Ok im going to slice this wood up from the top going all the way to the bottom.
Night rushed in even he was surprised that his kenjutsu became much more faster, Night lost focus since he didn’t anticipated that he will be that fast after the training.
Night didn’t saw that he was coming closer and closer to the log and eventually smashed through it.
Ouch I hit my head. *scratched head* woooahh all that heavy lifting, weight pulling really helped me boost my speed up. Night was really amazed that his training really payed off.
I haven’t been able to move like this before.
*makes couple of flash steps around*
Night thought that he needed to get used to his newly gained speed, night ran around his training spot jumping, twirling and flipping in the air. Then Night rushed towards the wooden log and went past it.
A piece of wooden log then fell from it. Night slashed through the wooden log woth great speed and power, also his strike became more precise that he hit the piece that he was aiming for even in the great speed.
this new skill ive learned is really amazing I couldn’t believe my eyes. I barely slash that piece of lig before
Night drew back his sword then went near the log to look at his past attempts to slash the log. He saw a small cut on the wood and remembered his first try,
I was still weak just moments ago. Ive gained a lot of strength in such small amount of time. That’s the power of hard work for you!
Night said to himself proudly while laughing. Night looked at the second slash that barely made it half way then his third attempt that surprisingly for him that time that sliced half way through the log, then Night looked back at the piece of slashed wood and said to himself ” I Did it.” I defiantly became stronger.
Night continued to test out his strength,
Again he distanced from the wooden log and stood calmly.
Night holds his sword and gripped it tight. Night then disappeared from where he was standing from then chunks of evenly slashed wood just fell down one by one. After that night was already sitting on a big piece of rock nearby.
“If I train like this everyday who knows what would I be able to do. I still have a lot of free time theres still no jounin assigned for team three, that means I wont be busy for quite sometime. Id be able to train hard everyday. I cant wait till I get my hands on the “Flying Swallow and create an Kenninjutsu for myself.” Night kept fantasizing about being stronger for a few minutes.
Night stood up and used his chakra this time. He made his chakra flow towards his sword, his sword was quickly covered with his chakra. Night attempted to slice the chunk of rock beside him and with his rank B kenjutsu he managed to cut almost halfway.
Did my chakra helped my sword to slash this rock? Night asked himself
Night tried to do the same thing to the rock but this time without chakra flow on his sword. Night stroked his sword towards the rock and the result was much more weaker than the last time.
Its confirmed. that my chakra helps strengthen my sword but it has got to be more than that. Ive got to master that flying swallow they’ve been talking about

Night went back near the wooden log then drew his sword the made his chakra flow through it, Night sliced the wooden log almost effortlessly down to the ground.

with the my chakra around my sword im like using a hot knife to slice a butter
Night told to himself with a grin on his face.

Night the sat down on one of the chunks of wooden log that he sliced up then looked at his sword and thinked to himself about how would he learn the flying swallow.
He only knew a few things about it so he doesn’t really know what would he be able to do. Also he haven’t seen such technique been used around yet so Night didn’t really had the idea on how would that word or what does it look like.

Night took a break and ate the other curry rice from his bag then sipped a little bit of water. Night finished both of the rice currys then stepped to the side to take a nap.


Night woke up afterwards then packed up and heads for the Village

-probably going to Housing Units to rest or the play ground-

Ito finally arrived at the training Canyon and saw Night. Before he could talk Ito wanted to train on one of his fire moves. "Now which one should I do first. I know I will practice Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire." Ito gets into a stance. He put his hands together and started to concentrate on focusing his chakra in his mouth. After a few minutes he tried to add fire nature to the chakra. Once Ito thought he had it, Ito tried to use the jutsu but nothing happened. "Hmmm. I wonder what happened," Ito sat on the ground to concentrate his Chakra in his mouth, and then tries to combine his fire nature into the chakra. He tries to do the jutsu, this time, and gets sparks to come out. "Well it is a start now is it not?" Ito tries the Jutsu again and this time gets mini fire balls to come out. "Well that is good but I can do better than that, I need to get the flames bigger and control them." Ito sets up to try the jutsu again. He gathers chakra in his mouth then adds fire to the charka. "Fire Style Immortal Phoenix Jutsu!" Ito exhaled and about ten fire balls came out of his mouth. "Alright, I have that part down. Now i just need to work on controlling it, seeing as this is mostly a decoy Jutsu I also need to add something to it." So as Ito got ready to do the jutsu he used the clone jutsu to get three clones to assist him. "I want you guys to throw kunai and shuriken as I use the fire. We need the kunai and shuriken to blend with the fire, like have them be hidden behind the fire." Ito sets up the jutsu, gathers chakra, adds fire, and blows the fire. As Ito blows the Jutsu the clones throw the kunai and shuriken behind the fire, but the timing was off, so the kunai and shuriken were to far behind the fire to be effective weapons. "Alright we need to work on the timing of the fire and throwing the kunai and shuriken." Ito dismissed the clones, "I need to take a break. I wonder where my squad is? Anyway I will work on this later." Ito sits down and rests. " I need to figure out a way to work out the timing of the kunai and shuriken with the fire to make an awsome attack." Ito said to himself.

((421/750))

Night kept watching Ito while training but Ito doesn’t seem to notice night.
Night started to walk away from Ito going on his training spot saying
I cant just sit here and watch. I don’t want them to be stronger than me, I better train too Night told himself with a happy expression.
that guy is working hard, I wonder what his goals are. If he keeps it up he’ll be a great asset of this village. But I wont be beaten by him Night laughs and walked away.
Arriving on his spot, being inspired by Ito’s hard work Night drew out his sword then focused on learning the flying swallow technique.
This time ill make it for sure. he told himself.
Then Night drew out his katana and looked at it.
Ill definitely make a jutsu that would make you stronger Night talked to his katana.
Night then held his sword on his right hand, he then infused the sword with his chakra.
The sword was quickly surrounded by Nights chakra giving the sword a bluish glow.
So far this is the only thing that I could do with my sword, fuse my chakra to it, it only enhances my swords capabilities by just a little though.
Night stopped his chakra flow towards the sword then sat down.
While sitting down Night looked at his sword then said
This sword is amazing but I cant harness it to its full potential without learning a good technique for this. The blade of this sword is really sharp that it would easily cut up a good piece of wooden log, only if I could make it sharper to cut through rocks.
Then something came up to Night’s head.
That’s it! I need to learn how to manipulate the shape of my chakra and make a sharper blade for my sword using my own chakra. I have seen other ninja’s manipulating their chakra’s shape.
Night then stood up and began to practice his chakra control at the level that he would be able to manipulate his chakra’s shape.

Rank B Flying Swallow
1600+358= 1958/2500

After few hours of chakra control practice, Nights ability to control his chakra increased by a little. He could make his chakra flow from a certain point to another more faster and his control on the amount of chakra to use for a technique became more precise.
I might be able to start the real training Night told himself.

Night was deeply focused on making the technique work and was working hard to acquire it.
Night fused his chakra to his sword and his chakra immediately covered his sword
the chakra is so thick that it would even help the sword cut anything.
Night tried to make his chakra to be much denser and act like a blade for his sword.
How would I be able to do it? Night asked himself.
I haven’t practiced my chakra control enough to be able to make my chakra flow and be able to manipulate the shape at the same time. Night told himself.
Night suddenly thought about something what if…
Night held his sword on his right hand then he placed his left hand on the back of his sword.
Night started to make his chakra flow on the sword through his right hand then tried to manipulate its shape with the left hand.
Night was having a hard time since he wasn’t used on manipulating chakra shape.
Night kept trying balancing his chakra flow and chakra control.
This is exhausting but I won’t give up! Night told himself with a serious and focused face.
Night continued to do his practice then saw a small reaction, the chakra on his sword seems like it was getting thinner and getting his swords form.
Night became relieved and had a new hope for learning the technique.
After several hours of trying Night had successfully managed to do the technique
The chakra on his sword then became smaller yet denser almost like imitating the swords shape and gave the sword a dark blue glow.
This is it! Night happily told himself while looking at the sword that is emitting a beautiful dark bluish glow.
Night was able to learn to manipulate chakra shape but not in the level of doing it with only with one hand.
Night did the technique several more times that he was able to almost get used to it.
Next step putting my wind affinity to it!!
but before going to the next step Night thought that he should try out the unfinished technique first on the big piece of rock so he could compare the strength to his past testing
Night walked near to the big piece of rock near his training spot that he attempted to strike before to evaluate the power of his new technique compared to the normal strike he did before.
Night held his hand on two hands, right hand on the handle and left hand on the back edge of the sword. Then Night made his chakra flow to his sword through his right arm and manipulated the chakra on the left. He easily made the technique.
After activating the unfinished sword technique, Night lifted up his sword then stroke the rock with full force.
With Nights chakra acting as a the swords blade being relatively thin and sharp. It managed to double the damage that his normal sword did before.
It wasn’t near with Night expectation, he though that it would’ve strengthened the sword but he didn’t expected that it would double the swords power. And to think about that it wasn’t even a completed jutsu just yet.
Night was excited to put wind nature to it.

Night immediately tried to combine his chakra and his wind affinity to the sword and manipulate his chakras form into a thin blade that would help his sword cut much better.
After a series of trials and errors Night managed to put his wind affinity with his chakra to sword making it a wind natured technique.
With this technique I wound not even need to make hand seals. I just need to practice my chakra control every time I have.

After making the technique work Night went to the big piece of rock again and trying out the final outcome of the technique.
With the wind affinity of the technique it made an even thinner and sharper edge for the sword, making it able to make a clean cut on even a human’s bone.
Night then activated the jutsu and then sliced the rock with ease. Night was even more surprised and proud for his new technique.

Rank B technique acquired 1958+773=2731/2500 (Genius Type)

Im happy with my training results now I may take a rest and watch ito train again, I hope hes still there. but Night noticed that ito was already at his training spot watching him.

Night smiled at Ito, then answered with a cheerful tone
yes I am wind natured. its pretty common at the land of wind and im not that great with using my sword yet.
anyway while i was walking earlier i saw you training. your a fire natured eh?
no wonder you like spicy food *laughs*
and dont worry i dont harm allies, maybe unless when they harm me first.
anyway i havent seen Tayuns nature yet, i wonder what that guy is doing right now,
