It's been a month since the selection
You wanna know what we did in that month?
Run
That's all we did
'Ten more laps' here 'Run up and down this ravine' there
Fun Fact : Running up a 90 degree cliff face is 1) Very scary and 2) Very hard. Another fun fact - Gravity is still a thing in the elemental Nations
My calves are pretty much dead and I'm quite sure I have a couple back problems
"Sara! Amisa! Over here!"
Oh thank God. It's almost noon and the two of us have been running for the past six hours
The clearing we were in was not equipped for this crazed woman's insane ideas
"Twenty two seconds to reach me? Slow. It seems I'll have to increase your running.."
Amisa and I shared a pity glance before face faulting into the soft grass
"Seriously? My training isn't that hard! You two are just lazy"
Quiet woman. Let me enjoy the sweet release of death..
"Fine, I guess you don't want to actually learn something other than how to r-"
We were up faster than a starving hippy in front of an all you can eat
"T E A C H U S"
Blam
"Don't tell me what to do you midgets. Now get back up"
If we could, lasers would have burnt a hole through Yurina's skull
"Don't give me that. I'm going to teach you the Shunshin today"
The.. Shunshin?
Like Sasori?
Fun
"Watch me closely. I'm only showing you this once"
Ah?
Yurina put her hands into a half tiger seal, disappearing off into tears forest and appearing a moment later in a tornado of wind, pebbles and leaves
"You got that? Good, practice for a few hours. I'll be back"
She disappeared again
"Did you get any of that?" Amisa asked me, confusion on her face
"No"
Well fuck
Let's practice!
_
It's been half an hour and we have nothing
We know the hand seals, but the Chakra distribution keeps going off
If we can't get that correct, when we actually try the jutsu, we have a large chance to have a limb chopped off from excess chakra or slamming our face into a tree from too little
If Yurina wanted to teach like Jiraiya, she should have gotten a little more research…
"I GOT IT!!"
Huh?
Would you look at that…
Amisa was across the clearing I was in and after where five or so seconds she would 'teleport' to another location a few feet away
I made my way over
"You got it?"
Amisa nodded with a huge smile. Seems she was getting frustrated
"Look"
She put her hands into a tiger seal. It seems like she was focusing chakra straight to her legs. A moment later, she was gone in a swirl of wind, appearing a few feet beside me on a large boulder
"Hmm? What did you do?"
A thoughtful look
"I just threw a bunch of chakra into my legs and hoped for the best. It worked once so once I got the hang of it, it was super easy"
A brute force learner. That's only going to get you so far…
"Might as well try it"
It probably wasn't going to work. Amisa has almost double the amount of Chakra I have, with her sitting at a comfortable mid-chunin level at 10 years old
My reserves were stuck at around Mid-Genin for right now. Body limitations. Akiko-San 'predicted' I would only grow to Low-Jonin reserves at best even with my wood release, but after having Hoshi as a brother for a year, you learn to expect the unexpected
Also meaning, I'm comfortable with mid-chunin reserves
We're getting off topic - I threw my hands together and focused all of my chakra into my legs. Focusing on the important walking muscles and let loose
The world turned into a blur as I flew through the clearing. Trees and rocks blurred past like I went to something like Ludicrous speed
Hell, I almost went plaid if not for the tree that stopped me in my tracks
"Owwwwww"
"Are you ok?! Sara?!?!"
"My face hurts.."
"I'll get you to the infirmary!!"
She picked me up and ran towards the temple
Yurina was up on a nearby cliff, laughing her ass off
'I'm getting the urge to punch someone in the face…'
