The boy was actually beginning to become mildly bored with walking up and down the tree, since it took minimal mental thought and he just got bored easily anyways. Rhaim yawned a bit as he was coming down the tree, which sort of caught him off guard since he had only been up for a couple of hours. Though he had to admit that the training he had been doing today was by far more grueling and rewarding than anything he had been doing prior. When he got to the bottom he simply did some quick stretches and sighs before he placed a foot against the tree. The thought of his sisters seeing him walking up and down vertical surfaces in such a short amount of time almost brought a grin to his face. The only thing that kept it all in check was the fact that he knew they could do much better than him and had probably learned it faster than him.

Minoru really wished he didn't get so nervous when he knew other people were around. These signs were hard enough to do when he was calm. Having other people around just made Minoru uncomfortable. When he used to travel he had maybe his family and one or two other people around. Villages had been strange, and foriegn places that held more dangers than excitement. With all this going through his mind, Minoru tried to relax and focus on the task in front of him. After all he couldn't be a lone ninja. He knew he'd have to interact with the people around him eventually. His nerves still on edge, he attempted the "Boar."

By this point the Nara boys training was becoming repititious at best, making him wish that he had had some other person to at very least do the same event with him. However as it was there was not such a person currently except for Conan and he was busy pleading to Moku for some instructional time. Rhaim wondered why Conan kept asking for his opinion on everything, as if somehow Rhaim's desires and thoughts made any difference what-so-ever. As far as the Nara could tell, Conan was much bigger and therefore had every right to simply tell him what to do. A quick flashback of the small girl completing the first part of her Bunshin training played across his mind as Rhaim came back down to earth. Considering how easy the training was going, the young lad forced his hands into his pockets.

Frustrated by the fact that he couldn't get this blasted seal, Minoru stood up and walked behind a tree to try and find a new, secluded place to clear his head. He was tempted to climb a tree, but he wasn't sure if that was a good idea, as he was failing at everything else today. "You can't stop trying just because it isn't working the way you want," he told himself in an attempt to strengthen his will. Frustrated and willing to try just about anything that would help him learn these faster, Minoru tried again to get the "Boar" seal to work.

Minoru banged the back of his head against the tree as he prayed to any deity that would help him out. He personally didn't know what to think of that topic, when he was still traveling with his parents he had encountered all kinds of strange beliefs. Maybe one day he'd be able to determine which one was right for him, but for now he just wanted these seals to work the way they were supposed to. Minoru cracked his neck and tried again to get the "Boar" seal to work.

Minoru really wondered why this symbol wasn't working for him. Nonetheless he resolved to get all of this done, and he wouldn't eat, sleep, or focus on anything else until he finished this assignment. This assignment must require and iron will and steel resolve to complete, and Minoru would succeed. Anything else wasn't acceptable in his eyes, or the eyes of anyone he knew. He had to do well so he could get back to where he wanted to be. Trying as hard as he could to blank his mind, Minoru attempted once again to complete the "Boar" seal.

Minoru let out a deep sigh of relief as he finally completed the "Boar" seal. He almost didn't want to continue with how annoying this was. That was not an option for Minoru in this case. He had made a vow that he would complete this, and he never broke his vows. That was something that was drilled into him as he traveled. Out there, companions were important. It was a pack mentality, and acting alone generally got you killed. If the lack of reasources didn't kill you, bandits probablly would. Refocused on his idea and invigorated about what he hoped to achieve, he attempted the "Hare" seal.

After a quick cracking of the neck and stretching of the arms Rhaim was ready to finish up the walk with his chakra up and down trees. None of the instructors seemed to be available for coaching at the moment and the new kid seemed to be having quite a few issues with learning too much too soon. Which was strange considering it was basic knowledge that every child had to be proficient at to graduate from the academy and be assigned to a team. By the looks of things, this new kids would have as much difficulty with the training as the small girl who was no working on her Bunshin no Jutsu. Rhaim brushed aside his analysis of the other boy and brought his focus back onto himself. It was plenty true that his tree walking was going well, but that was no reason to let his guard down and allow himself to fail.

"Well, so much for a flawless victory by a dazzling hero with golden, flowing hair standing over a pile of defeated warriors." he thought as he failed yet again. He was wondering why on earth this blasted assignment was so difficult. What was he missing? "Am I just stupid or is this just really, really hard?" Minoru thought angrily. This was becoming more complicated by the second. He tried again to get these hand seals to work, praying that he would have some luck with the "Hare."

Although Minoru was successful this time with his hand seal, he didn't let that be a reason for him to celebrate. Every time he did that it made him lose his concentration. That seemed to be the key to everything after all. It made sense, since you had to focus your chakra to use various Jutsu. It wasn't something you could just pick up randomly. This time, Minoru was going to plow through the next few signs while trying to keep his concentration. He tried forming the "Ox" seal while focusing all his attention on what he was doing.

Just as Minoru thought he had succeeded, he failed utterly. He continually banished thoughts that he should give up, since that was not the mentality of someone who could succeed. He was half-way done and now he just had to go the rest of the way. "I will do this or I will die of hunger. I cannot, and will not, give up until all of my strength has left me," he thought angrily as he tried again to get the "Ox" seal to work. These seals were much harder than what Minoru expected. He had expected them to be difficult, challenging even. But this was beyond even his wildest imagination.

This was beginning to become insane, as nothing so basic should cause so many problems. Minoru was beginning to feel like this task was never going to end. He had come so far as it was, and he couldn't just give up without feeling guilty. He had to get this done; after all no self respecting ninja could do without this fundamental lesson. One day perhaps, he would look back and say, "I'm very glad i learned those skills. They saved my life back there." All Minoru wanted was to graduate, gain the skills he needed, then patrol the various roads to keep travelers safe from harm. He had seen far too many attacks on people on those roads. Clearing out the memories in his head Minoru focused on the task at hand.

With a large sigh, Minoru was able to succeed on the seventh hand seal. "Only five left..." he told himself to keep his confidence up. It was hard enough to keep going when he was failing, but he found it harder to keep going after a success. Sometimes you had to cut your losses. "This is not one of those times." Minoru told himself forcefully as he attempted to complete the "Serpent" seal. He wondered if there was a reason they picked these specific animals. He also wondered if you could make a new one somehow. Those were thoughts for another time however, he had a job to finish.

Feeling like he was on a roll, he pushed forward, hoping his luck would hold out a little longer. The faster he accomplished this task, the faster he would be able to move on and train some other skill. "First things first..." he thought as he tried to keep himself on track with the hand seals. He seemed to be getting off track with his thoughts as of late. He had no idea why he was remembering all these things all of a sudden. Maybe the fact he was working towards his ultimate goal stimulated his memories. Regardless of this, the next seal on the list was the "Dog" and it didn't seem to him that it was all that challenging...

Apparently Minoru judged the difficulty of this seal too quickly. Although it appeared to require putting your open hand over your fist, the "Dog" seal was obviously much more complicated than he first thought. There was more to this strange seal, and Minoru would figure out what it was. He wondered if the inventor of the seal made it secretly complicated to betray how simple it looked. It was so devious, Minoru wondered if he could do it one day, just to confuse those who would try and replicate him. Of course that was assuming he lived that long...
