Welcome to Gaia! ::

[1=AUTOFAIL] crying
Masaraku's thoughts had drifted to far away from the run or watching the beach, and instead she was completely focused on one thing. SHE WAS INCREDIBLY WEAK! What a nightmare to realize in the middle of training. She was slow, out of shape, stupid, and barely knew any Ninjutsu that had an actual combat use. She had so much to do and the only thing she had going for her was chakra and swordsmanship. It was almost enough to bring tears. Almost, but not quite.

[9+1=10 FAIL]
Masaraku crouched on the beach to do a marathon style take off, but as she did she merely launched herself face first into the sand. She then ran to the ocean with her eyes closed and sat in the water meditating on her failure as she washed off her face and cleared her gills again.

[11+1=12 PASS]
Masaraku got out of the water after realizing a simple fact, she couldn't do it all at once. She had to take the steps, go through the motions, and eventually she would become better. She had goals to become strong, but being the best was far off. She got back on the beach and sprinted another lap before stopping by Gennosuke and saying, "Your behind by a few laps now. I think I may go for another ten after this." It had been nearly thirty minutes. Halfway through her next set it would be time to turn over with somebody.

[8+1=9 FAIL]
Masaraku's next lap went relatively slow as she attempted to sort out the exact amount of time that had passed as well as plan a schedule for how she would go about her training in the future in order to become the ninja that she dreamed of being one day. At any rate she had to finish this last lap before any of that mattered.

Masaraku looked up as if she was ready to run again, but became lost in the sea as she watched the gentle waves cascading up the shore. She saw a crab scurrying to get out of the drink only to get washed back each time it got away. One time the crab didn't crawl out though. Masa watched with curiosity as the crab rode the wave in and scurried up the beach. Maybe thats what she needed to do, just go with the flow and things would work out for her.


[18+1=19 PASS]
Masaraku got it in gear and started sprinting full force to finish up her training with at least a shred of dignity. She pressed on for an extra lap though because in all of her lost thought she had already covered three quarters of the track. She ran hard to get to the goal and when she finished that she decided to wait on Gennosuke to catch up before starting
her next set.

-----------------Part 2 Starts here-----------------
Masaraku began to remove the weights from her pack and strapped them to her calves before standing up and stretching. She needed speed and she didn't want to wait forever, so it was time to make things a little harder on herself than usual. She yelled back at Gennosuke and said, "Alright nooby, I'm kicking it up a notch and adding weights. I have a spare set if you want to roll with the big dogs, if not I'm strapping them to my arms and working twice as hard. I hope to god you can catch up, because if I get done with this second set an I don't see you with weights on your legs your taking the next shift of watch." With that little bit of triumph she started off her run at a nice jogging pace.

Masaraku decided to take a break from running and looked out into the sea. this mission was becoming boring already, and it had only been twenty three minutes since she arrived. She sat in the water, letting the tide was up and down over her body. Her gave followed a sea snake that slithered atop the sea. It was alarmingly majestic.

[4+1=5 FAIL]
Masaraku continued to sit in the sand and watch the tides. Her gave drifted higher, again scanning for boats or ships in the distance. Seeing none she looked for the snake again, but it was nowhere in sight. She stood and backed out of the water, not wanting the snake to surprise her when she zoned out.

[10+1=11 FAIL]
Masaraku rolled her ankle a bit before sitting down on the beach and rubbing it. She wanted nothing more than to get back to running and hopefully take her mind off the snake. After a moment of rubbing her ankle she stood and headed back for the track. She yawned in boredom as her lack of interest grew stronger.

Batsu stopped training and opened his eyes again. He felt calm for the most part as his eyes roamed around the area. Tak-sensei seemed to be doing his own thing and on the other side of the beach was Masaraku... and surprisingly Gennosuke... running sprints. More power to the both of them. They needed the training. He was fast enough as it was. But what was he to do? He didn't wanna get all stagnant and s**t. The young shinobi looked around harder to find something. Then it hit him... he needed to train his acrobatic skills. He figured that he could do a bit of running,hit the tree, bounce off and stick some type of landing. Maybe he could through some type of backflip or handspring for added flavor. Sounded like fun.

[Fail]
Batsu had to get himself up yet again. It sucked to be in his predicament. He was flailing all over the tree in the presence of his new sensei, new team mate, and even worse... Masaraku. The worst part was that he hated failing and he did more than enough of that to last a lifetime.

Once Batsu was up he decided to go back to the basics. A simple back handspring was enough for now until he got the courage to go back to the tree. The boy stood erect and still before he bent his knees. The boy crouched down then sprung up. His arms went above his head, but when he landed on his hands, an arm gave out The weight of his body was too much for one hand and he collapsed onto the ground face-down.

[Fail]
By now Batsu had had enough of flopping all over the place. He got himself up and didn't bother dusting himself off. The boy just closed his eyes, stood still, and tried again. The boy did as he did last time, except his hands didn't give out. However,, another problem arose. As the boy went to land, his foot hit a stick on the ground. The boy's foot slid out and it caused Batsu to land with his foot on the ground and his opposing knee as well. He didn't fall like he did before, but the fact that he didn't stick the landing meant that he still failed.

[Pass]
Batsu took a knee, not by choice. He then dropped his head and groaned silently. He was sick of not hitting his marks. His head stayed down as he stood back up. The disappointment was written all over his face. He still continued to push through the training and crouched down again. He then sprung upwards and reached back behind him. He successfully landed on his hands and sprung his wait off of them and continued with his feat. The boy ended up landed on his feet perfectly. FINALLY, he did it and a slight smile crept onto his face.

[Pass]
Batsu landed his last bac handspring and felt as though he could do a subsequent one. The boy crouched down again and made the jump. Everything was feeling controlled as he proceeded. with the jump. His hands hit the ground flat and used them to go further. Things were still together as he went on. Before he knew it, his feet were back on the ground and he was standing on his feet again. A double back handspring was something he never did before and he felt good doing it.

[Fail]
Batsu stretched himself out a little more and decided to do one more handspring before making twists in the air. He never did those either, but he knew if he could combine those elements together then he'd be a mean ninja... and if that fell through, he had a future in gymnastics. Batsu crouched down and felt a small bit of pain. The knee that he fell down on earlier was starting to give him a bit of trouble. Batsu immediately sat down and clutched in pain.
