After countless hours of work, Zentos was definitely beginning to tire. His legs were sore and even without hills or obstructions in his path, he was almost tripping himself with every step he took. Slowing down more and more, Zentos had to take a break even after only five laps around the cavern floor. He knew that he was nearing his peak, and that he would have to stop training and get some rest soon. Zentos sat down and rested, meditating to try and calm himself down, so that the last burst of energy he had would be enough to leave him satisfied. He needed to have a solid ending after all this effort was put into the training today. He knew that it would take every ounce of energy he had left in him, but he was ready. He got up, prepared to overwork his muscles almost to the point of injury, the ends justifying the means if it only meant that he would get stronger. Trying to decide what to do for his last exercise, he thought that it would be appropriate to go back to the one set of exercises that started him on this streak of self-motivation. He walked over to the arcing rock formation and stretched his sore muscles. Zentos felt the pain that was cramps and soreness, but he brushed them aside to start this one, last exercise.

Zentos looked up at the makeshift "bar" that would be his last obstacle of the training today. He hopped up and began to pull himself up. Raising his chin above the arch proved to be harder than before, but he was ready to try and overcome this difficulty and push himself. At first he set a good pace, but he was starting to slow down more and more. As he felt like he was about to do his last one, he was so determined, his heart was beating so fiercely, that he could feel his own power welling up inside him. He felt the lightning chakra buffer his muscles and he felt energized just like before. He continued to do pull-ups at an astonishing rate, and anybody watching would agree that it looked like he had just started his training, not finishing through fatigue. Yes, he looked tired, but it was also true that the number of pull-ups he was doing was extremely impressive. His arms bulging, constricting, and relaxing, one could see that Zentos was using every muscle possible to keep going. Nearing the point of exhaustion and the original adrenaline wearing off from the chakra boost, he slowed down, but he kept going. He wasn't finished just yet. Now grunting with every pull, the sweat was coming off his chin and his tunic was practically soaked in his sweat. No matter, he kept going. He kept pushing his limits until finally, he was done. He dropped down from the rocks and swung his arms to stretch them one last time. He was finished for the day, and the remainder of the day would be spent with leisurely activities. He felt good, and he was ready to go out and have some fun. It looked like it was still light out, so he prepared to walk out of the cave and go above ground, where he could interact with the other villagers.

Zentos strolled back into the under area for the second time that day. Without waiting to think if this was a good idea or not, Zentos began to build up the chakra within him. By training earlier, he had already been overtaxed by his insatiable hunger to get better, but his chakra had not yet been strained that day. Due to the inconsistent breaks between training and reading books, Zentos' body wasn't exactly ready to exert so much chakra. Almost immediately, the chakra left his body and simply dissipated. He had wanted to keep a steady stream of it coming out, but he thought that would now be a waste of time considering the state that he was in. Zentos decided to start small, and release bursts at a time. Preparing for his next emission, Zentos aimed his arm in a random general direction.

Even after taking a break, Zentos felt almost instantly that he wouldn't be able to turn out any chakra from his limbs. He could feel the pain of exhaustion seeping into his muscles, fatigue wearing him down, and the thought of quitting slowly creeping into his mind. He knew that the idea was preposterous in itself simply because of his personality, but he knew that he needed some kind of motivation to succeed. Sitting down, he began to meditate, and thought of all the happy times that he had had in Iwagakure. He was reminiscing about the snowball war they had had a few winters ago, and he remembered hiding up in a tree for hours, just waiting for the last combatant to come to his area, waiting to surprise attack him and win the whole game. Now at peace, Zentos got up for another try.

His mind completely at peace, Zentos went through the motions of a form taught to him by his father before he had left. He felt the energy building up inside him and his chakra burst out in the shape of a triangle in front of his right arm. He swung his arms in an arc over his head, and proceeded to the next motion. He bent down low with all his weight on one leg and his right hand reaching for his right foot, and he picked himself up with the speed like nothing he had done before. Although his next burst of chakra was visible, it wasn't exactly satisfactory to his needs. He needed true pure electricity to come out of his body, whenever he commanded it to. He needed control and elegance and force behind every single one of his strikes. Without stopping, he went on to finish the form. After those first two moves, he had released no more chakra. Almost glum, he took another breather. The form had left his brow sopping with sweat, the products of his physical training earlier were causing him slight discomfort, but he shrugged it off and tried to think of another form in which he could utilize his clan's special emission technique.

Picking his least favorite form out of all the ones he knew, Zentos deliberately prepared a little slower than it would normally have taken him, but only because as a child, he had avoided doing this form for most of his training days. This was because it took an exorbitant amount of chakra to pull off correctly, and no Zee child could possibly correctly perform it. Knowing this, Zentos' father had pushed him to try anyway. As an academy student, he hadn't particularly understood the mechanics of it, but now he knew that it wasn't the amount of chakra spent to perform it, it was the control that one needed to make sure they didn't spend too much, yet had strong strikes and graceful technique. Zentos pushed his body further and further until at the last strike, a bolt of lightning flew from his left leg finishing its descending kick and hit a boulder ten feet away.

The lightning hit the boulder with a blast that shook the ground at Zentos' feet, but didn't particularly seem to effect the cavern floor as a whole. Zentos was slightly impressed with the strength of one of his bolts hitting a rock, but he knew that he couldn't get overconfident in his abilities that quickly. He knew that he had a lot to train for. His current chakra pool just wasn't enough to cope with the ridiculous amount that lightning jutsu's normally required. He knew that he could currently only do the simplest jutsu, but that was the point of this exercise. He would have to work harder and train almost everyday to get where he wanted, but then again, he knew that he would have to and that it was necessary.

Sighing deeply, Zentos tried to remember another obscure form that his father had taught him all those years ago. Going through each motion slowly and deliberately, he finally remembered how every move was supposed to go, and the speed at which each was supposed to be executed at. This was an all too familiar process for Zentos as he remembered his early childhood. Instead of going out with the other children to play, he was always found in a dojo or studio or out in the woods, practicing and trying to be the perfect warrior. Being the best meant so much to his father, and eventually this obsession with being the best carried on to Zentos after his father had left him. When it was for sure that he wasn't coming back, Zentos had gone out into a torrent of rain and trained in the forest until he got so sick he had to rest for the entire week after that.

Zentos probably looked like he was daydreaming at this moment, standing alone with his arms crossed in the middle of a clearing in the cave. Deciding to take a small break, Zentos tore off his shirt and pants until he was just in his undergarments, and dived into the nearest hot spring. Relaxing for a few minutes, it seemed as if Zentos had dozed off for almost half an hour, until he suddenly sprung out of the water, ready for more training. He had been taking way too many breaks as of late and did not want to get into this habit. He needed to work hard and stop slacking if he wanted to be the best. The best... he started thinking about what that meant to him. What was being the best good for if he had nobody to be better than, or someone better than him to work for, to try and surpass? Zentos was once again feeling the pangs of loneliness, but he hoped that he would eventually make friends that were his age around the village when more genin appeared so that a chuunin could come and take over his training. Then, instead of training on his own, he would have teammates who would be there with him. Granted, they would have to put up with his insane training regimen but they would also suffer and work hard and succeed with him, and he wouldn't be so alone in the world. Putting that aside for now, Zentos knew that he still had a lot of work to do. Trying to input some kind of acrobatic attack, he ran and did a flip-like twist in mid air and tried to release lightning from his kicks. Seemingly successful, he felt the chakra leave him, but didn't feel the same quake that he had when the boulder and bolt had collided. Upon landing this twisting flip, he saw a black scorch mark steaming a few feet away from him. Well, at least his technique had worked. But he should probably try to increase its accuracy..

Taking in a deep breath for concentration, Zentos focused all his thoughts on one boulder, about to attempt an extremely precise attack on it. Pointing only with his index finger, he released as much chakra as he could and aimed only for a single point. In his mind's eye, he saw this going much better than how it resulted in. Due to the intensity of his focus, it seems that he released a bit too much electricity from his finger, and the spot that he had been trying to hit did indeed look very scorched.. but that was only because there was a very miniscule gaping hole right where he had been aiming. The sheer amount of chakra he had released had been too strong. His frustration almost getting out of hand again, he knew that he had won one battle and lost another. The strength of his chakra was too strong for this simple exercise, and this was a point that he was not exerting as much self-control as he could have been. Trying to be optimistic, he took away from this minor self-inflicted lesson that he had to be careful when he was trying to do something very simple, like make a burn mark, and release more energy in an actual fight. It seemed as if he was doomed to be unbalanced in one portion of his training at all times. Not too content at all, Zentos looked over the area and picked another boulder to "attack". Pointing again with his right index finger, he let the chakra flow through his body and out towards the rock. Scared that he might once again fail for being too anxious, he had toned down the amount of chakra he was going to release, but this turned out to be another tragic failure. The chakra was faintly visible, and travelled in a streamline direction towards the rock, but hardly made a mark on it. Running his hand over the target, he couldn't even discern that it had been hit with anything, much less than a lightning bolt.

Slightly disappointed, Zentos tried once more releasing a moderate stream of chakra from his fingertips. Failing yet again to find the perfect balance between power and precision, he dropped his hand and sat down. This latest attempt left a blacker mark than the last, but did not result in the dent or cut in the rock that symbolized his strength. He knew that he would have to work quite a bit longer and try just a bit harder to get the perfect mix of strength and accuracy. He started skimming over ideas in his head, anything that would help him succeed or perhaps even shortcut his way through this irksome training. Immediately, he shook the idea from his mind. Any shortcuts would only lead to failure in the future. He'd just have to keep toiling for now.

Almost at the point of exhaustion, he knew that he couldn't keep releasing this much chakra if he wanted to stay awake and not just plop down from exhaustion eventually. He went through the motions for the thirtieth time, or at least it felt like that. He realized that the short term gain from all this work would only be a few minutes worth of chakra exertion in a real fight, but he was willing to accept that. He knew that in the long term he would be able to release ridiculous amounts of chakra, with strength and accuracy and everyone would either respect or fear him. He would be the village's best. That is, best genin. Zentos knew that if he was overambitious that would be the end of his career as a shinobi. He would take baby steps.. baby steps..

Another attempt, and one more success. How many times had he correctly hit the boulder now, 6 out of.. countless tries. Zentos didn't even want to think about the amount of time and energy he had just spent in the past few hours. First it had been physical training, and his arms were still quite a bit sore from those pull ups, and not to mention his legs from all that running, then he had bored himself half to death with books about cooking and taijutsu and useless information. Well, it felt bad to say useless. The knowledge gained was probably going to be used in some kind of obscure question sometime in his future. If he wanted to be a prodigy, he would have to know everything.

Deciding to try something new, Zentos tried releasing energy from his feet during a kick instead of through his fingertips. Thinking that it would be much harder to aim, he was surprised when he hit his target quite accurately and with a decent amount of force. Feeling accomplished and disappointed at the same time, he knew that the energy from his feet would come in handy less than what his hands would be. His taijutsu style was mainly focused on punches, and his capacitor gauntlets let him enhance his fists, but if he was more talented at using his feet, that proved to be a problem. They simply wouldn't be as strong without the use of some kind of capacitor. Sighing, he went back to using his arms as conductors for the deadly energy that was his own chakra.

Feeling the motivation to continue his steak of success, Zentos was energized and continued his practice strikes. This time, he was going to release a lot of energy. Feeling the tiny stings and zaps of the electricity as he collected it around his arm, he released it in a surge of lightning that made the air heat up and an intense sound crackled through the cave, telling of the intensity and power behind his strike. Feeling satisfied, he took a break and rested his arms. They were already tired from before, but now he could barely feel them. He decided that it was a good numbing feeling, unable to feel pain, unable to stop his training. He would become stronger through this, and that was the only thing that mattered.
