Welcome to Gaia! ::

His final kick, Zentos decided to add a little kick to it. He used his chakra to enhance his attack, and with this final improvement upon his attacks, he kicked the rock formation. Due to the ridiculous amount of attempts at this, it broke easily under the force of his kick and the energy of his lightning chakra. He was ready to move on from this ridiculous move once and for all.

Akati found out from a jounin (during that large time gap) he needed to train a lot more before he could learn techniques of the elemental variety. So he decided that he needed to learn how to control his chakra even more, so he decided he needed to start dicing up objects with his chakra until he could learn proper techniques.

Chakra Control DC 25 vs 1d20 + 15.

16 + 15 = 31 Pass

First he picked up a pebble, and put it between his hands. He then concentrated his chakra into it as hard as he could, also thinking about cutting the pebble in two like the paper. His chakra was made for slicing, and that he all he was thinking about. He this heard a noise in his hand, like a rock scraping on another rock. He opened his hands to reveal that the pebble was cut about one third into it. He didn't find that at all to be a success, but it was progress.

-2 Cp: 23/25

19 + 15 = 34 Pass

Picking up another pebble, he decided to try again. This time he though it would work, this time he could cut the pebble in half. He placed the pebble between his palms and then squeezed them together. Akati then concentrated chakra at the rock this time, not into it. Slice, slice, slice. It was all he needed to think about, he wanted to cut it in half, he needed too. He then heard a louder version of the sound from the previous pebble. He felt it before he saw it. The pebble was cut in half, but not perfectly, one was bigger than the other. His next task was cutting one a little bigger.

-2 Cp: 21/25

9 + 15 = 24 Fail

Akati picked up a rock that fit into his hand, and looked it for a while. He then placed his other hand over the rock and squeezed a little with both hands. Akati then concentrated chakra into his hands, and once he started to release it, he thought about sharp, cutting, swords slicing through the rock. He poured chakra into it as hard as he could until he felt a piece drop, then heard the flop as it hit the water. It was almost perfectly cut in half. But where it was cut was very smooth. He skimmed the rock over the water.

-4 Cp: 17/25

12 + 15 = 27 Pass

He found what he wanted. Akati had found a rock twice the size as the one before. He proceeded to cut it in half, concentrating the chakra, the visions of cutting it, everything just as before. The chakra bursts from his hands, causing the rock to slice in half roughly. He wasn't so pleased with that one, but it still worked. Akati needed to try to slice something else.

Chakra Control DC 25 vs 1d20 + 15.

6 +15 = 21. Fail.

Akati picked up a rock, and looked at it for a while. He dropped it, and realized he needed to see if he could cut something else. He looked around, saw the stalactite and stalagmites. They looked fun, but could wait for another time really. He needed something else. He saw a little waterfall, which was odd to see underground. He wondered if he could cut it with chakra.
He ran over to the waterfall and concentrated chakra into his palms and then slapped the water really hard. But nothing happened.

-4 Cp 11/25

2 +15 = 17. Fail

Akati decided to try again, and then time he really made sure he had chakra molded into his hands perfectly. He then placed his hands over the waterfall and he had so much chakra in his hands, the water wasn't even touching them. He then made the chakra burst from his hands. But he was so used to doing it so his chakra collided between his hands, that it just did a kind of just became a useless shockwave.

-4 Cp 7/25

11 +15 = 26. Success.

Akati decided to try again, but this time to remember to cut with the chakra and not just shoot chakra. He used one hand this time, and concentrated his chakra into a blade. He thought only about cutting and slapped the waterfall as he released the chakra. He briefly cut across the waterfall, it was a somewhat success. But he needed to do better, far better.

-2 Cp 5/25

19 +15 = 34. Success.

Akati this time used both hands, and he must cut far large gap this time. He id the same thing before, concentrating his chakra into a blade, into a cutting substance. He released the chakra as he slapped the water, causing it to briefly stop in mid air before dropping again. Akati breathed deeply. He was a little tired now, and he also noticed there was another genin here.

Zentos decided to start up his training again and broke out into another run around the cave. After a few laps, he was starting to get tired and then eventually he just stopped halfway through a lap and walked back to the beginning where he had started. It looked as if the one day that he had spent studying in the library and conversely affected his ability to exercise the physical aspect of his body. Sighing, it looked like he was back to square one.. again. He put his hands over his head to get his lungs expanding and took slow, deliberate breaths to try and get back into shape. He was definitely ready to start some serious training now.

Feeling pretty good about himself, Zentos allowed the smallest of breaks to be taken as he mulled over his progress so far. He hadn't exactly interacted with any other genin in the village, but he thought that if there were others his age and rank near him, he would be above the average shinobi. Considering the amount of time and effort that he had already put into all of the training that he has done thus far, Zentos knew that he would definitely be considered part of the "elite" genin. Even compared to genin from other villages in past events, Zentos had kept up with the best of them. The only thing he regretted was the vacancy inside Kumogakure. He was always lonely and always training on his own, where were all the other students? Brushing this mere feeling aside, he went down for more push ups and focused on building his musculature more than on his emotional needs.

Zentos decided to go a little less hard than what he had originally been training, all in the name of finishing his training. He did one more set of push-ups and sit-ups and then took a mild break, sitting down to enjoy the breeze flowing through the cave. It was interesting how he could be here and do this while he had no idea what else was happening in the very village above him. Were there little children students running around learning their very first jutsu? Were there other genin who were training, just as Zentos was, but in a different area? He resolved to one day take a stroll, committed to finding another genin and get to know them. He made many of these resolutions.
