Shatter the Sky! [ Training | Private ]

[Kii!]

"Nnggh," I groaned, sitting myself up in bed and scratching at the back of my head. With one closed eye, I stared at the window, still covered by a white curtain. A sliver of golden sunlight slipped through, straight passed my head and down onto my pillow in a little pool of sunshine. Looking back at the bright spot it lit up on my pillow, I threw the covers off of myself and leaped up, pushing the curtains aside and basking in glorious light. With a yawn I spread my arms up and out, stretching as I bent back.

Scratching at my nose with a single finger, I looked dreary-eyed around the room. Damn, was it a mess. A sigh escaped my lips, and I ruffled my hair a bit before rubbing at my eyes. It was time to wake up! Today was a day to better myself, my abilities, and bring me a step closer to my goals! With a grin and a wave of excitement flowing through me, I smashed my fists together twice, roughly. In my excitement, I'd unconsciously powered my fists with chakra, causing them to glow a pale blue, and when I smashed them together I released a light shock wave. Papers, blankets, and many other trinkets were blown around the room as I did.

"Shit . . ."

---

"I hadn't planned on having to clean up all those broken glasses and plates . . ." I pouted, thinking aloud as I slumped my body forward. As I was walking (and pouting), I began to wrap my hands in white bandages, as I always did. It was only natural to me to have them on--without them, I almost felt naked. Though a bit later than usual, due to having a small . . . distraction, I was finally surrounded by nature! Green trees, grass, and no one but me. With a grin, I tightened my fists and allowed chakra to flow into them like I had done so many times before. It was a natural process, now, to empower my body with chakra, and to release it in a single instant upon impact. So much so, that I'd begun doing it unintentionally, just like before. I frowned at the recent memory, and abruptly opened my fists, allowing the chakra to flow back into me and releasing the pale blue glow in a small burst.

Suddenly I crouched down, allowing one leg to lay out straight as I bobbed up and down. Switching sides and straightening my opposite leg, I bobbed again, stretching. Rising to my feet, I began to lean this way and that, move my arms behind my head and across my body, stretching here and there. After a few moments of random stretches, I pumped a fist in the air.

"Alright! Let's go!" I shouted enthusiastically, throwing a few chakra-less punches and kicks into the air before me. Today, I wasn't looking to learn anything particularly new. Only to improve what I already knew, to better my foundations and my current knowledge. My Kongouriki--Golden Thunder Power--was a versatile, though simple, technique, which allowed me to produce a great amount of strength out of virtually any attack with my own body. Now was the time to make it even better.

Again, through my hand wraps, my fist began to glow a pale blue and I threw a punch into the air, releasing the energy as the punch extended. I repeated this a few times, switching hands and throwing a high, arcing kick in every once in a while. Simply throwing my hands and feet at the air in front of me wasn't going to do much for me, though. It was just a quick warm up. Looking around, I decided that--being the Village Hidden Among Tree Leaves--we wouldn't miss one or two trees. The trees nearby were neither tall nor extremely thick (though they were thicker than two average humans), so they wouldn't be too dangerous to knock down. Quickly, I made my way over to a large batch of trees nearby, and decided to look for a tree farther inside the batch. It would be less noticeable that way.

Having decided on a nice, sturdy-looking tree, I let out a deep breath and closed my fists once again. Chakra infused, I threw a punch with my right hand, stepping forward with it and twisting my hips, in order to gain the most power out of my body that I could. As my wrapped knuckles found their mark against the tree's trunk, power flowed out of my fist and into the tree, released in a torrent. The telltale cracking of bark allowed a small grin to creep onto my face, and I watched as the body of the tree split horizontally just below where my punch had landed. The top of the tree was sent flying perhaps two meters ahead before being stopped in its flight by another tree, and falling to the grassy ground.

Rushing over to the falling tree, I noticed a deep hole where my fist had made its mark. With a nod, I looked back to the rest of the tree, still implanted in the ground. All of this was simply the expected result--I'd have to work hard in order to improve myself. Still, with a little determination and a lot of hard work, I'd make that tree fly like a bird!

[Kii!]

The leaves around me rustled in all their serenity, and I could hear the flapping of wings as birds fled from their hiding spots within the trees. I could only grin, shielding my eyes from the sun as I gazed up into the deep, blue sky. The shadowy form of the tree I'd just launched into the air with a simple punch plagued the vibrance of the troposphere. About six meters, I guess, I thought, judging the distance I'd punched the remainder of the tree as it reached the peak of its flight. Realizing I was still standing beneath the tree as it began to plummet back to the earth, I stumbled backwards, tripping over what was left of the tree in the ground.

"Ow, ow, ow . . ." I groaned, my legs in the air and my head on the hard ground. Slumped up against the trunk of the tree, I lazily rolled off of it and onto the grass nearby before pushing myself up. "Gotta be more careful," I thought aloud, standing and rubbing at the back of my head as I looked for the previously airborne tree. I approached it curiously. There were many cracks and fractures along its surface from my punch, with one rather large fissure down its center where my punch had actually landed. Not bad, I suppose, I thought--my previous record, distance-wise, was about five feet. With a firm nod, I wrapped my hands around the fallen tree and lifted it, chakra flowing through my arms as I did so. With a light groan, I straightened my body and flung the tree into the air. It rose a few feet before falling, and as it did I prepared for yet another strike. Stepping back and pushing chakra into my right fist, I waited until the tree was at my eye level before rising my fist up into it. I felt the sharp pain I knew was coming flow through my hand as the bark shattered and crumbled under my power, cutting and slicing into my hand as it drove a hole into the body of the tree. Then, in an instant, I extended my arm upwards and the tree was sent once again into the air. Only, this time, it crumbled as it did, falling into many pieces under the pressure of my chakra.

Ah, damn it, guess I beat on that one tree for too long . . . I thought, removing my eyes from the now scattering pieces of bark, leaves, and twigs. I hadn't yet moved onto another tree, only used the same one, and now it had taken too much of a beating. It was difficult to judge my progress on my previous blow, since the tree had fallen apart, so I instead elected to start over. Unfortunately, in my search for a new tree, I'd forgotten all about the falling, broken tree. At least, until a large piece of bark fell right atop my skull. My stance was wide as I rubbed furiously at the large bump growing out of the back of my head. "Owwwww," I whined. Gotta be more careful . . .

Laying eyes on a thick, sturdy tree, I balled my fists once again and approached it. Taking a deep breath, I exhaled and relaxed my body before raising my hands before me. Pale blue light instead filled my legs, however, as I reeled back for a moment before unleashing myself at the tree. My right leg soared through the air, arcing up and over--it was at eye level when it struck the tree and the pale blue light fled from it, bursting into the tree. Again the sound of cracking bark filled my ears, and I watched as it split horizontally below the point of my impact, until it was ripped completely from its foundation and sent into a tree nearby. Leaves rattled upon the impact and as it fell to the ground. Slowly, I allowed my leg to lower to the ground before I approached the broken tree. It was a repetitive process, but it was my only process thus far, and I could feel myself improving. Again I lifted the tree, chakra-infused, and threw it into the air. With closed fists, I stepped back and threw my punch upwards, into the bark and allowed my chakra to explode outward.

I stood amidst four tree trunks, each severed from the majority of their trunks and their branches, their leaves. Twigs, leaves, and pieces of shattered bark lay about me. They littered the ground, a remnant of the destruction I had wrought upon the greenery here. So, too, did my body boast a sign of my training--my knuckles were bloody and beaten, the hard shell of the trees had eaten into them. Still, I wasn't done yet--bloody fists were nothing in this world. What I assumed would be the final tree I would destroy stood before me, and I held my fists up. Like before, I'd need to dislodge it from its earthy base, and I'd do just that with a swift, chakra-laden punch. Again, it fell to the floor, cracked and broken, and I lifted it up and into the air. It fell, and my fist met with it, sending it spiraling upwards again with a burst of energy.

I'd say about nine feet . . . As it fell, I noticed my blood, smeared and stained into its surface. Grinning a little, I bent down and once again wrapped my arms about the trunk. I felt the hard, sharp, and twisted bark dig into my arms. I felt its weight as my pale blue-glowing arms lifted it, and how the bark scraped at my skin through my wraps and clothes. Then there was a sort of momentary relief as I set it free, high into the air, as the sharp and constant pain in my fists had all but become a part of me now, and I no longer felt the tinge of my pouring blood. That relief was only ephemeral, though, as the numbing pain in my fist suddenly intensified. My chakra had filled my fist, and released in an explosive burst as I once again threw a strong uppercut toward the falling tree. The bark first enveloped my hand, jabbing and digging into the skin as I forced it upwards. Then, as the bark cracked, shattered, and gave way to my punch, I felt my hand sink into the tree and small pieces of bark rained down from the tree and onto my head. It lifted upwards as I did, using the force of my body--my arms, shoulders, my legs--before suddenly my punch extended to its full length and the tree was left with nothing but the wind. Its shadow over me grew smaller as it rose higher and higher into the sky, and I covered my eyes, shielding them from the sunlight, as I watched its flight.

Momentarily, I wondered how it looked from afar, for trees to fly into the air out of the batch of greenery. With a shrug, I supposed it didn't matter--and if it did, it was too late anyways. Yeah, ten feet! I thought as the tree reached its peak, farther than ever.

I released a deep sigh as I emerged from the batch of trees, my hands raised, stretching above my head. "Alright! Time to work on something new for a while," I decided, smashing my fists together twice in excitement. Perhaps I'd hone one of my less direct skills, at least combat-wise; sensing was a useful skill, though I wasn't quite as proficient as I'd like to be. Twenty meters out was the farthest I could sense, and I still had to perform hand seals and close my eyes to do so. With a firm nod, I stomped off to a more populated area of the village, where I'd be able to sense many different chakra all around me.

Gradually, the area around me became more and more populated, and so, as I walked, I formed the few hand seals required to activate my senses and closed my eyes. There hadn't been any solid obstacles in my way for quite a while, so I would simply walk straight and avoid bumping into anyone by sensing their chakra moving toward me. My stroll was uneventful--I noticed a few different chakra around me; children and adults alike, though none of them seemed to hold the capacity to be a shinobi. Only once did a person cross my path, and I was able to successfully stop to allow the child pass before me without colliding. Slowly, more and more chakra came into my "view," I could feel their presence and their movements. Then, my concentration was broke.

"Ow, ow, ow . . ." I rubbed at my nose as I sat on the ground in front of the building I'd smashed into. Stumbling to my feet, I groaned and looked around myself . . . yeah, people were staring. With an awkward, forced laugh, I quickly walked passed the building and slipped down a new street. I guess now that I'm nearing the center of the village, I should be more careful, I thought. For now, I'd concentrate on widening the range I could sense, and made my way back to my apartment.

Another sigh left my throat as I fell back lazily onto my bed, allowing the shady room to envelope me in a coolness that was more than welcome. A moment passed by as I stared at the ceiling before I figured I should start. Unmoving from my laying position on my bed, I formed the required hand seals and closed my eyes, holding the last seal as I searched for the presence of the villagers. Many chakra sources were suddenly lit up in the darkness of my eyes; I was able to feel their movements. A few shinobi littered the area all around me, though the majority seemed to be simply civilians. Then, focusing as I furrowed my brow, I attempted to peer into the obsidian that marked the edge of my senses, the emptiness into which I knew was life. For a moment I could feel it expand as a number of chakra sources suddenly became apparent to me, and then again disappeared. They had all been some twenty three meters out--though I hadn't been able to maintain my 'sight.'

[Kii!]

For a while I lied there, my senses pulsing outward almost in a rhythm. A terrible, off-beat, struggling rhythm. It wasn't easy for me to push out against the edge, against the limits of my ability to sense the faintest trails of chakra. It was much like lifting a heavy weight--I'd push my senses out, but I could only hold it for a moment before I'd fall back to my standard zone. I'd sat there long enough to feel people come and go about their daily lives, this way and that. There was a certain person I focused on--a shop owner, I figured--as he was always in the same spot, just outside my sensory range. Every time I would force myself to expand outward, I'd know I was successful when I found him there, and then he would disappear once again shortly after. Many more moments passed as I attempted to force myself to grow, and suddenly I'd sit up and my eyes would open.

My hands released the seal and I stood from my bed, pulling the curtain aside from the window. This time, I'd try something a little different--I decided to find one, single person by their chakra signature, and track them. I'd use the rooftops to do so, forcing me to open my eyes in order to move around. Hopefully, I'd choose a target that would give me a little challenge--being caught and looked upon as a stalker hadn't even crossed my mind.

Again I formed the seals needed and closed my eyes, looking for an active chakra signature. One that seemed to be moving, and I'd hope their destination wasn't too close. I found one that seemed to be running, out on a jog, I figured, and so I chose that as my target. It was plain, normal; not that of a shinobi's. With their general location in mind, I released the seal, opened my eyes, and pushed my window open to jump quickly onto my balcony, and soon after, the roof. Atop my building I ran, quickly, leaping from one roof to another, and another again, before I stopped, kneeling on one knee. The familiar hand seals flashed across my hands and I peered into my mind's eye, searching for one specific chakra.

There! I thought, having located the jogger now moving steadily away from me. Falling behind, I released my technique and began moving, across two more building tops before coming to a gap. Between them was a single wire, with lanterns strung across, and I took off across it. It wobbled a bit, but I kept my balance as I darted across. This building was a tall one--and the roof I was upon was only its second floor. The rest of the building extended upward before me, and so I layered my soles with chakra and sprinted vertically up the wall. In a moment I was on top of the fourth floor and stopped, ready to sense my target once again.

[Kii!]

My eyes were closed, searching for the trails of chakra I'd become familiar with. Mind racing, I sensed all around me, attempting to locate the jogger's chakra. I began to search faster and faster, unable to locate it as soon as I had hoped--had they gotten away? I failed my task if so. Then, suddenly I felt the tiniest hint of their chakra slip just out of my sensing range. Gathering my willpower, I pushed outwards about five meters and located them, and the direction they were headed in.

Shit! I'm losing them! I thought, exhaling the deep breath I'd taken and opening my eyes. Sprinting off, I made to move across the rooftops in the direction of my target. Many buildings passed beneath me, flashing by as I hurriedly dashed across the village. Though I could tell by their chakra that this person was not a shinobi, they ran fast as hell! I came to the end of a roof, in which the roof sloped down rather steep with many shingles, and a large gap separated the next building from the edge of this roof. Without hesitation, and without slowing my momentum, I leaped forward a bit, landing on the shingles and grinding down them much like on a snowboard. Hoping none of the roof would break off, I neared the edge of the slope, in which I gathered chakra in my legs and pushed off of the roof.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I thought as I soared over twenty meters forward, having utilized my Chakra no Iko in order to empower my jump. Looking back, I realized my powerful jump had caused the edge of the roof to cave in, dented nearly beyond repair. Ahhh, I'll pay you back later! I thought. I'd jumped to the best of my ability, and therefore was sent much farther than I really needed to. My intended landing spot--the next building--passed completely under me, and all that was left was solid ground two stories below.

Gritting my teeth, I prepared for a hard landing. I felt the wind beating against my skin and through my hair from my momentum. My stomach dropped a bit as I began to fall, and I relaxed my body to absorb the impact. With a grunt I slammed into the grassy ground, falling down into the roll in order to further expend the force. Still, my momentum did not falter, as the moment I broke my roll I was already sprinting off into the distance. Assured that there was nothing blocking my path very close by, I formed a string of hand seals and closed my eyes.

There you are, I thought, sensing the chakra I was after, much closer than before. That leap I'd made allowed me to gain quite a bit of distance, but damn did my legs hurt.

[Kii!]

Instead of rooftops and wires, I now had solid ground and many trees before me. Lanterns were strung across lines between the trees, each lit and glowing. Only a few people moved about here. There was but a singular path through this area of the village, and as I closed my eyes and formed the necessary seals, I realized the one I'd been following was now moving along this path. Unfortunately, that took the point of sensing them away, so I decided to leave them be and move on. Despite this, however, I was far from done with my training; not a terrible amount of progress had been made, frankly. I was neither more proficient at sensing other's chakra, nor was I able to sense farther than before--at least, without strain and far too much effort. With this in mind, I simply had to go back to the way I'd been training before. At least, until something caught my attention.

There was a man, a little farther back into town, and he was quite obviously distressed. It seemed he was asking others something, but I was too far to tell what. Choosing to approach and ask what was going on, I learned that he'd lost his child. Apparently, one of my fellow shinobi had made a mistake practicing some sort of ninjutsu, and it nearly harmed the kid. Frightened, he took off running and now his father couldn't find him.

"Alright, just give me a sec," I said, flashing through a series of hand seals before closing my eyes. It would have been easier if I'd known what the kid's chakra was like, if I'd met him before. So, since I wasn't familiar with his chakra, I could only try and sense him through his feelings. If he was distressed, I'd be able to tell--that, and perhaps his location would give me clues.

Unfortunately, I felt no such chakra around. Shit. Where could a kid go? I thought, concentrating. My brow furrowed a bit as I pushed my chakra outward, a forceful attempt to expand the range of my senses. For a second it expanded a few meters, then fell back, and again I pushed. This time, it wasn't just training--I was doing this for someone else. So, again, I pushed out, and suddenly I could feel the chakra of everyone 30 meters outward. It was only for an instant, but I'd felt it. A distressed chakra, curled up and hiding in the corner.

"Ah--there! I think I found him, follow me!" I said, taking off in a sprint through the town.

I glanced back to realize that the man was struggling to keep up with me. Shit, I totally forgot, I thought, slowing my pace significantly. I was a shinobi, this man wasn't, and I'd taken off sprinting like a mad man in my excitement.

"Ahh; sorry . . ." I said, scratching the back of my head and chuckling to fill the awkwardness. He simply patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to continue as he slouched his posture, breathing heavily. So I elected to walk, rather than run, allowing him to catch his breath and keep up with my pace. As we walked, I formed the necessary hand seals and closed my eyes, activating my sensing abilities in order to make sure the child hadn't moved. Sure enough, he was still where he had been--curled up in a corner, obviously frightened. So, too, was his chakra showing obvious signs of disharmony; disrupted by his powerful emotions.

"We're almost there," I said, turning a corner into a ruined building. It was mostly intact, though part of the upper levels was ripped to pieces and scattered about the ground nearby. Still, it had some semblance of a roof, and it was empty. At least, save for the kid inside. "He's in here."

A few twists and turns within and we'd located him. I grinned and balled my fist in excitement. Then, without saying a word, I turned exited the building, leaping up to the second story before running along the rooftops back home. If I'd remained, I felt the boy's father would have been inclined to thank me in some form--something that wasn't needed. In these times, after what had happened to our world, people needed everything they could to live. I couldn't take anything from them.

My destination was my home. It was time to return to my training, and though the search for that child had ended up aiding me in that endeavor, there was quite a bit of work to be done. I'd made progress--that much was certain--but not nearly enough. Before I could utilize the ability to sense other's chakras as I wanted to, I had quite a bit of work ahead of me. Still, that was a long term goal, one not suited for my thoughts at the moment. Now, I'd set smaller goals for myself, work upwards steadily.

"Ahh," I sighed, sliding in through my still open window and into the coolness of my room. Again, I fell lazily back onto my bed after closing the window and its curtain, basking in the obsidian around me. It weighed down on me, lulling me into a sort of weariness I'd preferred to avoid. So, I occupied myself with what I'd intended to do regardless; closing my eyes and holding the required seal, I directed and molded my chakra as I'd done many times before. My mind's eye reached out, intent on grasping every strand of humanity it could grasp. Wisps of chakra moved lightly through my newfound vision, like zephyrs. My reach was still too short, so I concentrated my efforts on the horizon. Like true sight, I looked passed the individuals that clouded my vision and focused on the barriers of my abilities, pushing and stretching them.

Suddenly, it felt natural. As if this was the way it had always been; as if this was how it had all began. My chakra-sense, a vision, in some ways more truthful to me than even my eyes, enveloped a wide domain around me. Larger than I had ever pushed it before, and it gave me no strain. No struggle, no resistance. I prodded at my boundaries, tested the waters; as if it could be some fluke or feat of sudden, but ephemeral power. Shaking my head and opening my eyes, I released my chakra and returned to the obsidian that was the very room around me. It engulfed me like a flood, though it bore no power over me.

At least, aside from the weariness that came over me. With a yawn and a shake of my head, I formed the familiar hand seals and allowed my eyes to close. And still, even then, my sense had not dulled. I'd pushed my senses outward, and it was as if it was a part of me now, this absolute advancement. Of course, it was far from a significant distance in which I was able to improve my abilities, but any progress was just that. So, too, was it proof, to myself, that I could do more. That this wasn't my limit, and this wasn't my end.

Of course, that didn't mean the process to improvement wasn't tiring. In fact, it was dull as all hell. Opening my eyes, I pushed myself from my bed and onto my feet. Despite the complete darkness that filled my room, I knew my way around well. A few steps forward and a turn, and I flung my curtains to the side. A wave of warmth and pure, golden light flushed into the place, as if I'd opened a dam. Everything was illuminated underneath its presence, and I felt for a moment as if that even included my mood. I placed my hand on the windowsill, and with a small hop, was atop the roof just outside of my tiny (though quite comfortable) apartment.

As expected, the town was still as busy as ever. It was a fine day to be out; little clouds cluttered the cerulean skies, and only the tiniest of zephyrs wisped past my ears. Though noisy (and ruined, as of late), the village was comforting to me somehow. And it proved to be a wonderful place to further test my abilities. Mustering up the willpower to continue on with my drudgingly slow training, I closed my eyes, forming a set of hand seals with which to mold my chakra. Each and every person before me--even beneath me, behind me, all around me--had a signature, telltale chakra trail. Some were faint; the children of civilians, usually, and some were overbearingly powerful; though none of those types seemed to be within my vicinity today. Those were exclusive to very powerful people: true Kages, Jounin, the like. Unlike myself, or even our current Hokage. Though, I supposed I harbored no ill feelings toward the man currently in charge of us; it was but a fleeting position of authority, one taken up in a time of need, and one meant to command wasn't always one meant to fight. Still, I couldn't help but admit I'd be more comfortable when a more . . . qualified shinobi stepped up.

Either way, my thoughts on the topic were brief. For now, I concentrated on pushing my limits once more.

I decided I would focus on a target I could see, one preferably out of my range. Perhaps with something like that, to divert my full concentration upon, I could drive myself to push past my current limits. With an eager grin, I rose my fist in front of my in determination as I scanned the village I looked over. It was filled with many people, so I wouldn't lack a target; all I had to do was decide upon one. What would denote a target of high interest, though? Perhaps there wasn't enough to distinguish good targets from bad ones, and so I'd pick one at random? No, it would most likely be easier if I could find a person with high chakra reserves, that way they stood out among the masses. People like that didn't tend to sit still, though . . .

Ah, I know! I thought, jerking my head this way and that as I searched for the familiar building. In the distance to my left was the Hokage's Tower; while our current Kage was far from a very powerful shinobi, he was still a shinobi. Not only that, but there was likely to be many shinobi hovering about such an important place; so that would be my goal. At a glance, I'd have guessed it was probably about 28 meters away, though I wasn't the best judge of distances. Still, it would provide a challenge, for sure, and that's what I needed!

Forming the 'ram' hand seal, I closed my eyes and began my search. Of course, I couldn't quite reach the tower, so I focused as I had before. I pushed my chakra out in strong pulses, and was able to, for just a moment, feel the chakra of those within the tower. Unfortunately, there were quite a few chakra signatures, and I hadn't been able to sense them long enough to choose just one. Either way, just the tower was a good enough goal for now--once I could sense them all, I'd work to push my senses farther. One thing I did notice was that they were all at least genin-level, and many higher than that. Most likely, they were shinobi returning from completed missions, and perhaps even ANBU. Either way, I'd have to find one that wasn't moving in and out, but was stationary so I could use them as a sort of constant.

Again I pushed my Mind's Eye further, and this time it was a bit easier to sense farther. I was able to feel perhaps twenty-five or twenty-six meters out without strain. Looking past the many smaller chakra outside of the tower, I again poured my chakra and concentration into sensing farther out. With a sudden pulse, I was able to see all of the movements within the tower at the same time. There was a strong presence that didn't seem to be moving anywhere on the second floor, and many others moving in and out. I felt what I knew to be our Kage--a Genin-level ninja--at the top, but chose instead to focus on someone with a high chakra reserve. After a few moments of studying the people within, I was unable to force myself to sense so far out and again fell back to approximately twenty-six meters.

"Man, this is hard work . . ." I said, scratching the back of my head as I opened my eye to look at the tower in the distance.
