Akati was walking on the water, and looking up at the glow worms and then looking down at the rippling reflection of light. He always loved the caves, they were a nice place to train. He needed to improve his craft, chakra control and ninjutsu skills.

He needed to try to make a plan on how he would do this. He really wished to make his own weapon, for his own purposes. He knew if he had a weapon no one knew how to counter, he could possibly win a lot of battles because of it. Heck, he could pass it down to his kids as a hiden jutsu. But first he must train to get the skills needed to develop this weapon, and also he needed to find out his affinity. He wasn't exactly sure how to do that. He needed to go find out at the library.

Between the time that he had begun and now, Zentos could barely feel a change in his chakra. He knew that he had expended a lot in the past few hours, simply by attempting these precision strikes. He had burned out a lot of his chakra, and he knew that it would be a few hours until he felt in tip top shape again. Oh well, at least he had made some progress. He felt that he was almost done with his training, but maybe a few more attempts wouldn't hurt. Stretching his arms a few more times, he completely ignored the dead weighty feeling of his legs. Although they were like lead, he didn't pay much attention to it and just focused on his arms. In reality, it would be his upper body that would be doing more of the fighting, and kicks would only supplement his fighting style that way. Zentos brought back his hand in an overdramatized fashion and unleashed a force of chakra stronger than he had during the past hours of training. It seemed as if the more that he was training his endurance, the stronger and longer he could use his chakra for. Satisfied with his progress thus far, Zentos confidently threw his second arm in a similar fashion to try and replicate the effects. Unfortunately, it seemed that his success was a one time thing, and he utterly failed to release a significant amount of chakra from his fingers.

Sighing, it seemed that his training wasn't complete just yet. All he wanted was one more success before he could leave the cave and go back to his home. Funny, just a few months into his arrival here in Kumogakure and he was already calling the area that they had given him for residence a home. No, his home was still back in the village of Current, far away from here, on a peaceful farm with all of his family still alive and well, toiling on the Earth to make their living. Sighing deeply again, Zentos knew that that was just a far away dream now. Any idea of family was stricken from him when that attack had wiped out his whole village. His father had left him, and it seemed that he was destined to be alone for the rest of his life. His only solace was that he was probably one of the only pupils of chakra taijutsu left, which didn't exactly make him a master, but it gave him a lot of freedom to do what he wanted with it. He could let it die with him as a dying art, or he could teach many others when he himself mastered it. The possibilities were endless..

Feeling energy welling up inside him, Zentos used this to his advantage and directed this new found chakra through his fingertips. Almost immediately, lightning flashed across the air and hit a stalagmite, one coincidentally quite close to where he had been working out earlier. Smiling and feeling extremely accomplished, Zentos wiped the sweat from his brow and started on his way out of the cave. He knew that today had been a good day for training, as he had done so many things and felt very accomplished. He had taxed himself physically, mentally, and spiritually, in the sense that chakra was part of his spirit. Exhausted, he was on his way through the great stairway and towards the crystals in the center of the village.

It had been a few days since Zentos had been in Kumogakure. The call had come out to assist some ranch owner in the middle of nowhere, and he diligently answered. As a lowly genin, he had been assigned to catch escaped turkeys. Surprisingly, it had been fun and tiresome. It had been useful to his athletic skills as well as his attitude. He had met another genin there years younger than him, but who was already extremely talented. Knowing that there were hundreds of people out there in the world that were just like that, Zentos was motivated to become better at what he did. He entered the great cavern where he had spent multiple hours just a few days before in training endlessly, and he was about to do it again. Feeling the chakra building up inside him, he breathed in and out, letting his body become accustomed to the dank air inside the cave, and preparing himself mentally for the challenge that he was about to put forth before himself. Clapping his hands together, Zentos unleashed a wave of energy before him, enveloping the area around him for ten meters, until the chakra dissipated into the surroundings with a sizzling noise that reminded him of cooking meat. Satisfied, he knew that he was doing well, and on the right track to getting stronger.

Zentos felt the energy pulsing through his body and he let it free. Using his entire body as a conductor, his whole torso lit up with electricity, making him a beacon of light in the poorly lit cave. He jumped up into the air and in the split second that he was hovering in the air, he curled up into a ball. Releasing the energy from this position was complicated, but he straightened out his entire body into a curve and lightning surrounded him in a blazing aura. He let go of the energy and chakra crackled in the air around him. He dropped back to the ground and noticed that his chakra had barely dropped in level at all. This was the perfect sign. All of his training was progressing smoothly, and he was on a streak of successful trials. Feeling good about himself, he decided it would be healthy for him to take a break. He sat down pondering what to do next. Training and specializing in chakra and taijutsu was what he had been doing for so long now, but after this most recent mission at the ranch, he realized that he would have to increase his general skills along with his fighting skills. That kid had crazy acrobatic skills, and all Zentos could do was run after all the turkeys.. Trying to decide what would be the best transition from taijutsu and chakra to mundane skills, Zentos laid down and put his brain to the test.

Zentos was still lying on the ground when he started dozing off, his eyes feeling heavier by the second, and fluttering closed every few seconds. Eventually he was fast asleep, dreaming about being the strongest taijutsu ninja in the village, among other extremely ambitious and unlikely events. Out of nowhere, he suddenly sat up and, realizing what happened, chuckled to himself as he found himself in the embraces of sluggishness. The constant training and the recent mission had taken a heavier toll on him than he had previously expected. Oh well, training and getting stronger stopped for no reason, even if he was to pass out right there right now. He sat up and committed himself to finishing this training. He clenched and unclenched his fingers and, upon an unknown signal, punched the air in front of him and released as much chakra as his exhausted body let him. This was such a simple exercise, something that he had been frequently doing since he was a child, and yet he still found it tiring. After every couple of bursts, he found himself sitting down. Now, as he was panting after this most recent development, he continued without stopping, and punched the air with his other hand. Immediately after, chakra was released in a very visible wave a few feet in front of him. Making decent progress now, Zentos allowed himself a few seconds of preparation before his next attempts.

Zentos let the energy flow through him freely, but he was careful to keep it in check. He knew that if he let any electricity out when he wasn't watching would be extremely hazardous. Good thing that he was in a cave filled to the brim with rock, otherwise someone might get hurt. Knowing that he was in full control for now, he let loose a bit of excess chakra that was just zipping around in his system. He had to constantly do this because his ancestry caused him to excrete chakra from his limbs whenever he got excited. Certain memories came to memory when he remembered his overactive childhood, when he was basically a lightning rod for emotions. As he let the lightning leave his fingers, he felt the familiar warm and tingly sensation that one would after letting a muscle fall asleep. His whole arm felt like there were tiny sharp needles going through it, and being shocked. This feeling was all too familiar to Zentos as it occurred to him constantly, sometimes for hours at a time. He really needed to remember to keep his emotions and his chakra in check..

Nearing the climax of his training, he could practically feel the chakra surging out of him, wanting to be released. Complying with his body, he released another stream of chakra from his left hand. This time not aimed in a particular direction, it was slightly weak and he just let it disappear into the air after a few seconds, not making a steady flow of chakra. It seemed as if he was getting too repetitive. He was doing the exact same exercises over and over again, and it was getting almost boring.

Trying to get through this training at the fastest rate possible, Zentos went through dozens of motions in a single form in seconds. Much faster than he would have normally done, he was getting a little impatient. He wanted to be done with this for a while, so that he didn't exactly have to do this again. Sighing, he felt a little bad for taking this strategy because the very first movement that he enacted was a failure. The chakra wasn't very controlled at all and sporatically left his arm and disappeared almost instantly. The next instant that he tried, it was a success that left him breathless. Rushing through his practice motions was probably not something to be recommended, because he went through crazy motions and it left him panting for air and slightly disoriented. But at the very least, he was making some kind of progress. He decided that one more successful act of burning out his chakra would be enough to make him as "strong" as he wanted to be for now. He knew that progress was progress, and he shouldn't be picky about how much he was improving by. Even getting better a little every day should be leaving him satisfied.

Extremely anxious to get this over with, Zentos just tried a very simple technique, kicking the air with his feet, and on the arc down, letting chakra be released from the soles of his feet. The result ended up in him practically tripping while standing still because of the tingling sensation that he felt in both of his legs, causing him to, in effect, tickle himself silly and make him fall down. Besides the loss of balance and extreme embarassment, he laughed to himself, very thankful that he was the only person in here. So, with his balance restored, he got ready for a few more attempts.

This final time, using his hands instead of his feet, Zentos used the technique that he had started todays training with. He clapped his hands and let the energy flow from his chakra system to his fingertips, and out in a wave of visible static and electricity. He felt a few of the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, but other than that it wasn't a very special feeling. It was quite normal, and he was just happy that he had successfully pulled it off. Although he had done the technique correctly, the wisps of energy dissipated rather quickly, and after a moment, the heat and light from the lightning were both already gone. Satisfied, Zentos wondered if he should either stay in the cavern and try to train something else, or leave and come back later. It was a slightly difficult decision, and it left Zentos taking a small break on the rocks, dozing off again while pondering what to do.

Progress: 2/10

Zentos woke up from his daze to find himself staring at the ceiling. The stalactites were seemingly quite low to the ground and an idea popped into his mind out of nowhere. Bringing his chakra to near full potential, he raised his hand while still laying down and pointed it at the base of the smallest stalactite above him. Unleashing his energy, he broke the stalactite off and let it come flying at him as fast as gravity took it. Training himself to keep calm and stay where he was, he waited until the absolute last second before complete and utter impaling and rolled out of the way. The stress had made him break into a sweat, but he relished in it. His muscles had gotten stiff since he had sat down, and he took this moment after such exhilaration to take a short break and stretch his limbs. His arms were sore, and his legs were heavy, but he ignored it. He dropped down into the splits and reached for his right foot. Easily touching his toes, he tried to challenge himself further by putting the palm of his hand completely on the sole of his foot. This was truly difficult, as he felt his legs almost giving out while he sat. Changing direction and now reaching for his left foot, Zentos did the same. It felt good to stretch and breathe, while still having the same challenge as a physical workout. He decided that he would devote the next few hours to some yoga-esque work to increase his flexibility and keep him agile. After all, a ninja should be quick on his feet as well as strong with his fist.

After stretching a sufficient amount, Zentos got up and started to work on a yoga form. It had him bend in multiple different forms, and he had to do a standing bridge in one part of it. Suddenly having a difficult time, he was trying to arch his back as far as he could, but he ended up hitting his head on the floor and laying flat on his back. Groaning with the pain that was now shooting through his skull, he softly rubbed the bump that was about to grow on his head. He tried again with slightly more success as he got one hand on the ground before he ended up falling down. At least making some kind of progress, Zentos was satisfied. Trying again and again, on around the fourth try he got it perfect. Landing on both his hands, he brought his legs up and went into a decent handstand. Landing back on his feet, he went on to the next few moves of the yoga form. Moving slowly and deliberately, he was purposefully slowing the whole thing down so his muscles felt the full burn of the stretches. He wanted his flexibility perfect, and so he took almost twice the time that it normally would have taken him to finish the form. All this in the name to get better, Zentos knew that this would be worth it in the long run.

Trying to keep his cool and composure as he repeatedly failed in his attempts to be....well, flexible, he punched a small hole in a nearby rock. Shaking the pain out of his fingers, he let the anger flow out of him. He had to be patient as well as keep trying. Moving on from yoga forms to taichi techniques, he used a plethora of techniques, rolling his feet, moving his arms to a beat that nobody could hear. He did everything he could in an extremely fluid manner, so as to train his dexterity and agility. Everything he was doing was so that he could get better. He remembered training for hours on end without stopping when he had been younger. Now that he looked back on it, he found it strange that he could not do the same now, but he thought that it was probably harder for him to train in general anyway, more body mass, less strength to carry all the weight, it was no wonder that his flexibility had deteriorarated so much. His muscles just weren't as strong or as nimble as they used to be. Sighing, he just kept up his training and hoped that he could regain his excellence in acrobatics. He went into a handstand and tried walking around a few steps. After a few successful feet of movement, he had to drop back down into standing position because he couldn't hold it any longer.
