The Cranky Crustacean [Training] [Private]

Arriving at the chunin examinations registration was the first thing Miyuki had done once she arrived in the city. The next thing that the girl had wanted to do before the exams had started was to train with her mother's friend another master of the Santoryu style. She didn't have much information other than the fact that he owned a small bar in the city and it was named the Cranky Crustacean because it also specialised in making a special dish with the owner being the chef, a santoryu chef was an extremely odd thought within Miyuki's mind.

Upon arriving she was greeted by two young women and taken to the master in which they exchanged greetings. Taken out the back after hours they were about to begin their training. The man flexed his muscles on either side of him allowing his arms to instantaneously bulk up, the muscles buldging on each bicep, it was a truly magnificent feat to have pulled off. That was when he suddenly grasped both of his training swords made of wood then hit the training dummy to his left. The shear power behind the attack tremendous and sent the dummy not only flying across the room but through the wooden wall with a large cracking sound. With a thumbs up the man went back into the bar and allowed Miyuki to do her own thing.

The woman then followed the same steps as her temporary master had shown, raising her left arm above her she focused all her might and strength into this one moment. Applying as much pressure and stress onto the bicep as possible she started to grunt with an expression that showed true detemination and pain with it resulting in looking ridiculous. This determination to make her arm explode into a entirely new strength had left the girl out of breath, lowering her arm she gasped for air. This wasn't going to be the way to do things so she decided on working on how to utilise the strength in her arms first before being able to completely control it.

To the left was a punching bag from a rather rough material it was obvious there was something inside of it, as she grasped it she thought it was sand however she couldn't truly tell. Her arm pulled back before she shot it forward with as much might as possible the fist connected into the bag with very little success on Miyuki's part that was unless by success her job was to end up hurting herself. She held her hand, the knuckles were bleeding, definately not sand like she had previously though but something of a much stronger composition. She then proceeded to a do a few quick jabs and continued to do this until her hands could no longer take any more punishment.

Heading over to the other side of the room was a dummy made of a type of soft wood, many fist marks were embedded into it and even dents from which a wooden sword had struck it. Following the same method the man had used to strike the dummy through the wall she picked up a nearby wooden sword and began to strike at the dummy, in comparison her strength was completely useless and didn't even dent the wood. Striking it harder and harder each time her breath became more and more scarce. The strikes became weaker and weaker as she continued and in a fit of rage she threw the sword across the room into another dummy, the sheer rage behind her attack was enough to leave a tiny dent in the wooden frame.

It was a breakthrough, at least it would have been if the girl had actually noticed what had happened instead she thought about it for a moment then took in a deep breath. This technique was much different like anything she had ever done previously because instead of using skill and technique alone it was purely brute strength. Thinking about it for a moment before actually performing she dropped to the ground and began to do push ups, numerous amounts that showed that she did indeed own decent strength but was not able to control it very well. With each push up bringing more and more sweat to her face she kept thinking of a new way to approach this, perhaps with gates?

She continued with each push up with sheer determination hoping that with each moment that past by her ability to control her strength would be enhanced. The gates would be a great concept to start with controlling her strength however thinknig about it for a moment she realised she was doing this all wrong, something clicked in her mind as she remembered the vague words comnig from her temporary master, "you will need to learn how to control each arm individually before harnessing their power so focus on strengthening them one at a time. Getting up off the ground and dusting herself was the next part.

Hitting herself in the face with her palm was the second step as she then walked on over to a bunch of makeshift dumbbells, looking at the smallest one she believed it would be a good way to warm up and she would continue to go up higher and higher in the weight in order to harness and control her strength effectively. With this small dumbbell in hand she then proceeded to raise her left arm up by bending her elbow upwards with a small pause between each movement it allowed her to strengthen her biceps. As time went by she felt little happening to her arm so she upped the weight by quite a lot and sure enough she felt herself getting a proper work out in her left arm in mainly the bicep area.

As she felt her muscles grow weak from such an overuse of the same arm in vigorous activities she believed she was most likely ready for properly performing the technique. Smiling as she stood up and put the dumbbell down on the ground where she had first got it she cracked her neck then raised her arm up. Concentrating a large amount of pressure and by sheer determination she felt herself able to concentrate a small amount of power and strength into her arm she saw it rise up a slight amount then rapidly changed back only a second after, something wasn't right she wasn't channeling it correctly.

Screaming in a fit of rage the girl then used the very same arm to punch down onto the ground below, not feeling the pain in which she had suffered on the punching bag she easily dented the wood although she had absolutely no idea how. Looking over to the dummy in which she had thrown the wooden sword at before she noticed the dent she had caused, taking a moment to realise she understood how she was going to channel in the strength from her body. Thinknig about all the things that made her angry the woman adjusted herself once more with her arm raised up.

The strength she had mustered up from only a second ago was just but a taste of the true power she could harness. The rage filled through her body and she channeled it as though it was chakra into her bicep, the muscle expanding instantly with a powerful look on it. Picking up the wooden sword she had trashed before was the one she was going to use to decide if she had mastered this technique. Pulling her arm back she would sweep the blade as hard as she could into a dummy's side, if the technique was successful it would have been launched much like the other man had made it happen.

As Miyuki controlled her strength with anger in her left hand she felt as the dummy flew off into the distance and crash into the wall she did however hold back a little bit so she didn't cause damage to the property. She held her arm, this strength felt good and as she waited for it to go down and be ready for another she wanted to copy her temporary master's variation. Holding both of her arms up she focused her anger and unrelentless power into her biceps only to cause them to inflate with power then instantly turn back to their original size.

Miyuki growled at the fact that she couldn't control her anger into two different locations so she tried again, then again and even once more but every time the same result, by now she had realised that there were no more thoughts that could get her pumped up and angry, so how was she going to use this technique in combat? It was obvious that there was no way to control the variation with anger alone she would have to figgure out a wAy to control her strength in another way. Back to the dumbbells she went.

Grasping the large sized one she hadn't currently used yet she began to bend her arm raising the dumbbell in line with her head, it strained quite hard down onto her arm and she felt a pain rise up in her arm. Instead of using something like chakra or anger to harness this strength she thought about it while letting down the dumbbell and raising it again, she had decided that by harnessing the power of the gates she would be able to understand her strength slightly better, if she could do it while in the gates there would be no reason why she couldn't control them out of it.

She extrended her arm out in front of her as she then entered the first gate, holding the dumbbell was now an extremely easy thing for the girl as she bended her arm back while holding it in place for three seconds. Extrending out her arm again she dropped the dumbbell to the floor and went towards the punching bag like she had done before. Bringing her arm back to be in line with her chest she then brought it forwards into the punching bag with as much strength as she could, the bag instantly flung back with no real damage just like Miyuki's hand had received oddly enough. While she did this she focused in on how it feels for all her strength and power to be centered into the bicep for a split second and with this knowledge she could harness it for the technique.

She tried punching the bag once more, the same strength and force applied as before she sustained no damage on her handy unlike she had previously done and had once again felt the prime time of the bicep's power. She was going to harness and try to duplicate this same feeling for use of the technique in both arms. She stood in the middle of the room with her arms in the same way the man had done only an hour before hand, raised up pushing the bicep's muscle out a small bit and then she began to apply pressure and as much force into the area with her sheer willpower she felt as they began to expand with the force behind them they had reached maximum size but when she lowered down her arms in order to pick up a sword they once again had deflated.

The woman adjusted herself this time, changing the focus on her arms once again she poured her entire will power and strength into the same focus she had done just moments before. Focusing in on her biceps like she had done while punching the bag of sand and maybe rocks considering how hard it was to punch. The power soon led itself into her biceps, their expansion was fenominal as they rose up, the gates were an unstable force that no person could actually control however this was something else, she was able to concentrate a tiny amount of their power into her arms as they beefed up into a rather powerful set of muscles.

Like before however they managed to deflate and the girl believed that if she were going to do this right she would first have to learn how to do it in her right arm before she could harness it in both arms. Punching into her palm she came up with an idea on how to do this, instead of just using the anger or distributing half the power in each arm she would build it up in just one then combine both of these elements in order to have two gorilla sized arms rather than just a single for maximum power. She began to focus the power from the gates once more, lifting up her right arm like before.

With her arm in position the woman found herself focusing as best she could the extra strength from the gates and her own body's strength would soon come into play as she focused down using all of her will power. In a way this was sort of like a form of chakra manipulation much like a ninjutsu master might use however this was used entirely by strength, surely enough the bicep expanded like it had done previously. However the difference being that the arm was able to stay like this, it was a rather small success towards her goal.

The woman then moved onto the next important step, being able to do this with both arms. Like she had done before she raised up each arm however she focused this time on inflating them one at a time rather than at a single time. The power from the gates and pure focus from her mind allowed her to quickly inflate them with such power and force that it definately meant she had performed it successfully. With her arms the way she was he struck a pose out of victory however she then changed back to trying to do them at the same time, this continued on for quite a while until she finally got tired and had successfully performed the technique using the gates.

She adjusted herself once more, the gorilla technique wearing off first along with the gates she was now ready to perform this technique once more. Raising up her arms she focused as hard as she could and with enough pressure applied to her arms began to build up the muscle with extreme power. The muscles would then become what they needed to be for the technique however they turned back to their original stage almost immediately, with sheer determination Miyuki would try again and this time it would hopefully work.

It was the second day of her training with the Cranky Crustacean owner and Miyuki had proven herself to the man by learning the gorilla techniques in such a quick amount of time. This was a test in which she had passed as she was now going to be sparring with her new master while she was taught a new technique. Her entered the room in his usual sparring outfit, his bare chest was like a candy to Miyuki's hungry eyes and she was distracted momentarily as he showed and explained the technique, by blocking an incoming attack and attacking with the free blade in the mouth one is able to crush their opponent while they think they are at an advantage.

The idea of the technique was of high interest to the woman however due to perving on her temporary master she was incapable of understanding how certain aspects were performed on the technique, mainly because she didn't listen. They bowed, ready for combat they both entered their usual combat stance with three blades, the man ran towards her direction by swinging his sword down at her with decent force. This caused the girl to put up her wooden katana on reaction however with bad footing and a horrible and rather frantic grip led to her being smacked down into the wooden floor, her head was definately going to swell up from where she was struck.

With the aid of her temporary master she was able to get up off the ground again, she was told off by the master, poking her in the forehead was just one thing that set her off. Not particularly following what this man had taught her the second time she instead of blocking was on the offensive. Adjusting her stance so that she could run at her oponent she then swung down as hard as she could even though she was technically known as a master of the style she was no match for impressive strength perfect technique as he instantly blocked the attack and followed up with a swing from the wooden katana on his mouth knocking her over to the side with a rather ridiculous amount of force that made her travel half the way across the room.

Picking up her wooden swords once more she got up, rubbing her stomach in pain from where she was struck she entered a stance and immediately tried again, every time he was to block her attack she was going to analyze its' weakpoints and how to actually do this technique that her master could perform so easily. As she attacked this time she attacked from the front and the side however he brought up his swords to easily defend both attacked. Releasing the defence for a split second he twisted his head and body around and landed another direct hit into the girl sending her backwards into the wall again with powerful effect. Crashing into the wall made her lose her breath, as she frantically tried to regain it her breath her master was headed her way once again.

This time she was unable to recover quick enough to pick up the last of the swords and as such she quickly dodged out of the way of the attack, the temporary master gave no time to recover and kept attacking. Miyuki tried to dodge again however was knocked away giving a decent blow to her shoulders making her drop her wooden sword, holding up a hand she admitted defeat and was ready for another round of this as she got up and picked up her other training weapon, they then returned back to the original spot that they had started in, round two would commence.

Miyuki's stance was perfect and as her temporary master and at the current moment opponent had come running at her she strengthened her grip on each wooden sword. Their eyes met for a split second as the shirtless man swung down hard onto her wooden katana, her defence was practically perfect however not applying the right force and correct way to position her arms was her downfall, literally. She was knocked to the ground with a sickening crack caused by her breaking the floors underneith her, she was not going to give up till she nailed this technique perfectly.

The master gave her a split second to recover and she did so by kicking forwards at the man as she jumped back up onto her feet, he stepped back to avoid the kick then attack with not a single bit of restraint once again. His wooden swords slammed into the hers causing an unbalance as she desperately tried to hold her ground, defending successfully against the first attack he then followed up pivoting on the spot and hitting her in the head with the wooden blade in his mouth knocking her away. This made her feel dizzy and as she was knocked away she struggled to regain her composure, at least this was was until she saw him running towards her again with each arm extended outwards in order to attack again.

The girl shook off the dizzy feeling and ran towards him as well, raising up her blades she blocked his first attack. Swinging his other wooden sword into her side broke the defence and she was hit back down harder than ever before making her cough up a little blood from the damage caused to her body. Standing up once again she was ready for yet another one of his attacks however this time she took in a deep breath and red her oponent's movements like she had done on many other occasions for many other types of techniques.

The man attacked from the side this time and like before Miyuki had raised her wooden katana in order to block the attack however this time as he swung with his second blade she quickly adjusted her hands allowing to block the two attacks that was when she attempted the spin. Releasing her defence at the wrong moment was her downfall and immediately as the defence was lost more pressure was put into the attacks and hit her on both of her sides as she began to pivot knocking her down onto the ground one last time, not again would he knock this girl down again.

She picked herself up, regaining her composure in a matter of seconds she extrended her arms in the correct stance and followed through gracefully, her arms extending perfectly to cancel out each of the man's attacks. This made the man a little off balance as he was shocked by the sudden spike in performance. Advancing with a pivot she swung her body around in order to strike him in the stomach, if they were using real swords and this technique was to be performed correctly the results could be fatal.

Miyuki had arrived at the bar once more, directed to the back after hours like she had done for the past two days, the owner of the bar and temporary master followed her in. Once they arrived in the back room he smiled to her and then began today's session by explaining the sort of technique she was going to learn. After a quick explaination the man decided it would be best for the both of them if they were to warm up. The man warmed up by doing a series of stretches in order to loosen his body up and get pumped for today's training session.

The girl performed some stretches like her temporary master, by extending out each arm and applying a little bit of pressure she was able to loosen up the muscles, ofcourse then came the legs as she bent them back as far as possible with a little bit of pressure applied in order to loosen up these muscles as well. The next part was making sure every other part of her body was ready and so she did a number of other stretches in order to loosen up every inch of her body for training in which was about to get very intense very quickly as she saw the man toss a couple swords in her direction. She was unable to catch them as they hit her in the chest area, the stomach and one hit her in the face, the wooden swords came out of nowhere as she wasn't prepared.

The man then proceeded with entering a stance that seemed rather specific to the technique itself, by extending his arms out in an odd fashion both behind him and to the front of his sideways torso. Adjusting his legs so that they were bent ready to spring up into the air and a cold stare forwards was the stance, something Miyuki believed would be rather easy to grasp a conept on. Picking up the wooden katana's that her temporary master had thrown at her she bent both of her legs downwards, the front a little more then the back leg as her torso was sideways. Raising up her arms in the opposite way the man had shown she believed she was ready for the next step.

Wanting the blonde to learn from her own mistakes was one thing the man definately wanted so he didn't comment on the stance. Adjusting himself back into the stance he then jumped into the air and performed the technique perfectly, his body gliding across the room with such velocity and power it was just graceful. The girl went to jump but as she did so she felt her body crack and she quickly dropped her swords and grasped her back, the muscles were incapable of bending in such a way. The girl thought about what she had done wrong and then she finally udnerstood, she had to recdeem herself and the only way to do that was to be able to pull off the stance properly. She leant over and picked up the wooden katanas once again, one in her mouth and the other two in were firmly gripped in her hands.

This time she spread apart her legs a little less than before, the front legs raised a little bit higher and her back leg a little lower than before. Torso in line with her arms as she oustretched them at the front and back respectively. Allowing her back to be more relaxed she adjusted herself in order to make sure the wooden katana in her mouth would be able to strike an oponent. She then launched up this time it hadn't hurt her and as a result this meant she was ready to try performing the technique. As she jumped she had misplaced her footing and launched herself not even half a meter into the air and her face was used primarily as a way to stop herself from going through the floor, ouch.

After that her master then went on about how mastering the jump was a very important part of the technique and how she would have to learn the technique slowly, one sword at a time. First of all was performing the technique with one blade but even before that was being able to pull off the jump correctly out of all things. Miyuki entered the stance once more, legs spread apart, one in front that was raised slightly while the other was at the back and lowered slighty so that launching up into the air required minimal effort. Her arms were outstretched like her legs, one at the back one at the front whereas her head was adjusted perfectly. No wooden weapons were on her at this point as she first needed to master the launch.

She sprung herself into the air, this time she had successfully launched upwards however she did not move forward or backwards and thus the jump still needed more work. As the blonde had landed she spread her legs and arms out like she had done so many times before and then once again attempted the same jump only this time focusing most of her strength into the front leg as she pushed off. This allowed her to travel forwards in the air, following up with the spin was the tricky part. Swinging her arms to the left and hunching her body together somewhat like her temporary master she began to spin however with not enough force or correct technique she ended up just spinning stationary for a moment then falling back to the ground face first.

She raised herself off the floor and rubbed her face with a groan, it hurt but if she was going to learn this technique she would first have to learn it without using a single weapon then move onto the next. She entered the stance like she had done so many times now, with each arm stretched out from the back and front, torso sideways and legs spread apart. Taking in a deep breath she then launched herself up with a large jump into the air, stretching her arms every more she then used the entire momentum of her limbs by swinging them in one direction causing her to spin forwards with such power and velocity, the only problem being she could not stop herself and she launched straight into one of the walls of the room with a sickening thud.

Picking herself up she needed to perfect this technique through and through allowing herself to change it's trajectory and even use it as a feint attack but more importantly at this point she needed to learn how to stop herself when she needed. Miyuki had entered the stance once more without a weapon, the temporary teacher watching from the side. Her arms stretched out once more along with her legs and she pushed herself off the ground straight up into the air. With the same technique as before with just a little bit more restraint she traveled across the room with decent speed even curving just a little bit to the left. Before the girl came even slightly close to hitting the wall she forced herself into an upright position and was able to land softly on her feet with no sickening thud or damage done to her own body, she was now one step further into learning the technique, the next step however was using this same method with a single wooden katana.

[ ?? | 60 ]

Now that she had gotten a feel for exactly how the technique might work she looked over to her temporary master and asked for a weapon he ofcourse complied and she was given a wooden katana. She placed this katana in her left hand which was the arm outstretched at the top, entering the stance as best she could with the completely different balance from before her front arm was lowered slightly. Her back arm was slightly higher without realising it and even the way the legs were spread apart was wrong and this was because she was so focused on making sure that her blade was correctly aligned. Her head was in perfect position however and her torso was a little bit twisted however she believed she was ready to attempt this technique and so she did.

She attempted the jump, her leg muscles stretched and her back twitched as she tried to read more than thirty centimeters off the ground only granting her the abillity to fall flat on her face in pain. Her technique was obviously wrong and as a result like all other times she had failed she got up and persevered, the stance begun with her raising the first arm which was behind her in the perfect position and then followed the front which was both her left and the arm in which she was holding the weapon in. With her stance like this she adjusted her legs in order for the technique to hopefully work, the leg at the front was bent more than the other at the back and the torso was perfectly aligned along with the head, attempt number two.

She jumped up once more however this time was a success this was at least what it seemed to be. Miyuki tried adding in the momentum like she had done before with no sword and found herself spinning in a vertical manner not allowing her to travel across the room she found herself falling back down to the ground onto her feet unlike so many times before in which she had smacked her head on the floor or wall. With landing perfectly she had made quite a progress in the way that she could at least keep her balance when failing somewhat. The blonde adjusted herself once more as she entered the stance once more quite perfectly, the girl raising both of her arms perfectly in place, the body's entire positioning was perfect following through the head all the way down to the legs and feet she was going to attempt the spin once more.

Due to a perfect stance she found herself perfectly balanced as she launched herself into the air with surprisingly swift movements she was then able to put momentum into this attack as she found herself spinning violently. So violently that it was impossible to control as she flew across the room and went straight into the walls once more, this was no good she had to nail the landing perfectly. The girl dusted herself off once more and adjusted herself, unlike before she wanted to try something a little different with the stance as she lowered her body slightly to adjust herself to the weight of the weapon, this time as she jumped she was on an angle which then allowed her as she applied momentum by swinging herself to spin with such velocity and power almost like a human shuriken thrown with deadly precision.

This human shuriken known as Miyuki shot herself across the room with incredible speed however just like before she was unable to control where she was going and landed herself into the floor as her spinning took a sharp descend. The blonde woman picked herself up for the last time, at leats that's what she had hoped, walking back over to the middle of the room she was going to try once more to perfect this one sword variant of the technique. She spread her legs apart and same with her arms, down low in order to maintain a balance because was using just one sword. The girl adjusted her torso and neck in order to prepare perfectly for the technique, the next part was jumping into the air.

The jump was execute perfectly however that was just a taste of things to come. The girl while in the air was in a crooken diagonal position in which she was able to then swing her arms for momentum. This resulted in a tornado like spin in which the girl launched across the room with extreme speed, her body adjusted itself mid-spin and she looked more like a ball with a saw like blade lining around it as she brutally cut into the wood around the area only to find her own wooden sword break almost instantly. The teacher was surprised that the woman could learn the technique so quickly especially considering he believed in the blonde woman stereo type of them being quite stupid not only it being incorrect in Miyuki's case she was the complete opposite a swordswoman prodigy.

The man handed her two more wooden katanas in which she held with both hands with these it was time to go up to the next level in order to use two weapons at once. She entered the stance like she had before except she had adjusted it to fit her amount of weapons. The front arm was the first that needed to be adjusted, unlike before how it was lowered slightly the woman was now going to have to keep it parallel with the other arm. The legs were spread apart however this time they were adjusted in order for someone to quickly perform the technique, she was copying the second stance that she was shown by her temporary master this was the one that allowed for much more movement in the air and overall more power and speed.

She followed her temporary master's steps as she then began to follow up with the run up in the technique or at least that was what was meant to happen. The girl had pulled her muscles in a physically impossible way by doing this and had grounded herself once more as she hit the floor. Shaking off her pain once more for the the hundredith time or so it felt to her she entered the stance once more only this time she adjusted the feet a little bit and the body to be more like her master had actually shown, she had only just realised that she had messed up the technique so badly. The woman spread her legs apart in a way more suited for running rather than jumping and adjusted her torso and neck accordingly to this new stance, now or never it was the time to test this technique out.

She sprinted in front of her for a few moments, the blades and stance adjusted with each moment and then she was about to do the next part, a jump and flip into the spin that was technique. This flip was however actually a lot harder than she had anticipated and as a result she found herself doing the forward flip perfectly fine but instead of continuing and following through with the technique she landed on her feet with a sudden stop that made her body jerk forward and land on her knees and hands. The wooden katanas were still in her hands as she dusted herself off and got up like she had done so many times before, this being only a minor set back.

She entered the stance once more, legs braced and ready to run forwards with a slight jumping part at the end. Her arms were stretched out correctly and she looked directly in front of her as if she were about to strike at an opponent. She had made a target to take out and this was a dummy that on the other side of the room, she began to run. Upon the fourth step she suddenly jumped into the air then performed a forward flip however this time she adjusted her body and turned into more of a ball shape rather than human as she spun at blinding speeds towards the dummy. Although not actually hitting the dummy like she had hoped to do she had made a break through, regardless of her landing being straight into a wall once again.

Shaking away the pain that now plagued her face she backed off the wall momentarily before entering the stance once again exactly the same as the time she had just done before she was going to propel herself with a little less power than before because it was uncontrollable the way she had just performed the technique. Miyuki made a new target, the punching bag that was close to where she had just been only moments before. She began her run up like moments ago, the same jump had been performed only this time using little bit less power in the performance of the flip and resulting spins after had allowed her to direct this two sword ball of destruction into the punching bag that was knocked back slightly with no cuts or holes in it further increasing Miyuki's interest in what exactly it was made from.

After the attack was pulled off the girl landed safely and her temporary master smiled before giving her another blade, this was the final part of the training using it with three swords. She had entered a stance much like she had done before by spreading her legs evenly to each side with the left slightly in front of the right leg to take a quick step forward and push off into a sprint. The arms were in the same sort of position as the left arm was in front and the right arm was to the back with the torso slightly twisted, with this she began to run nothing wrong with her stance she might have been able to perfectly perform the technique on her very first try, only this wasn't the case at all.

The technique, namely the flip had failed miserably because the woman had actually forgotten to take into account the new weight and wooden katana in her mouth and as she did it she hit herself in the leg with the blade in her mouth and also knocked it with the others causing her to leg go of two of them. After this failed attempt of a flip had occured the woman landed on the ground like a crumpled mess with the wooden katanas soon landing after, the one that had been in her mouth had flung up into the air when it was hit and as a result he fell down onto Miyuki's head further adding to the humiliating event that had just occured.

She got up and dusted herself off, she realised at this point that she hadn't taken into account the extra weight of the wooden katana in her mouth. By now she was growing very tired of constantly failing and this was it, it was now or never she was going to knuckle down and try her hardest to master this technique. She spread her legs and extended her arms like she had always performed. She then ran towards the dummy across the other side of the room half way there she jumped up extending out her arms and making her body as compact as possible she turned this flip into a spin which led to her spinning around in a rather violent fashion like she had before she had put too much power into the rotations and had launched herself into the dummy rather than controlling it to just slash into it she had landed face first into it's wooden torso.

Her temporary master stepped in and he suggested that she try using the technique on him as he tried to dodge and attack her with quite a lot of restraint, the young woman obviously agreed and they began this training exercise. She entered the stance like before and ran at her master, leaping forward while adding in the roation she span forwards with uncontrollable results. She went by the side of him just as he raised his wooden katana and struck her away into the opposite direction. She picked herself up off the ground while picking up her training weapons, looking him dead in the eyes she entered the stance once more, this was it the final attack.

She stretched out her arms and legs with a deep breath she adjusted her neck and torso accordingly as well to make sure the stance was perfect. Her master ran towards her just like she had just begun. Miyuki then leapt forwards, her rotation and spinning motion was almost perfect, he swung and if she were to correctly perform the technique and had learnt it would mean that she would seemingly change where she was coming from. Dodging the attack was just a small part of the attack, the follow up coming from nowhere she would strike her temporary master across the room and then land perfectly on her own two feet.

Unlike previously done the woman was not in the mood to go back to her temporary master's bar in order to train. She however went to a virtually desserted area of the city, her first step in training or at least altering her way of using shunshin was to stretch out her muscles. She accomplished this by spreading her legs out and leaning side to side, then she proceeded to lift her legs up behind herself and applying a small amount of pressure by pulling up and down onto the feet taking turns with stretching each. For the next part of her stretching although not really needed she did a few bending motions and by tensing her muscles she was able to slowly release tension and allow them to be loosened.

The next step in her training was to strengthen her legs and she would accomplish that by performing a few leg exercises. The first was doing shuttle runs using two crates that were in the docking area. She began this exercise by crouching down low with her legs spread apart, the sound of someone dropping a crate in the distance is what set her off. She sprinted forward making it to the distant crate in just a matter of seconds turning around and running back, this process only to be repeated over and over. She kept doing this numerous amounts of times till her lungs felt like they were to burst and she would not be able to do anything what so ever for the next hour or so. Resting her body a bit she was now ready for the next drill she had planned.

Miyuki stood at the bottom of a large flight of stairs, she looked upwards straight to the very top, with a sigh she stretched her body out once more and even had a sip of water. She then crouched down and then using the sound of a nearby boat sounding it's horn she started sprinting up and down the stairs. It was around the twentieth time that she began to feel the effects of fatigue. By around the fourtieth time she began to feel somewhat out of breath, her chest hurt a little bit and she sweated ridiculously. Her body was heating up at a ridiculous rate by the time she hit the sixtieth time, her body was struggling to keep up by this time and on the seventy eight her body could stand no more and as a result she just had a rather casual walk around the area to catch her breath and to make sure lactic acid build up did not occure.

It was now time after she had done such strenuous activity to work on her technique now that she was prepared. She braced herself like she had always done and performed a shunshin forwards, unlike her usual shunshin though she tried to curve it around a nearby box only to go straight into it. She hit her knees on the wood and flung forwards across the stone ground, painful yet easily gotten over the blonde then proceeded to try this again, and again. Each time becoming slightly more successful than the last her body just able to keep up with such movements she would have hopefully succeeded in her third attempt to do such a technique, if not she would have to go past her physical limits as a human and cause damage to her legs.

Unlike yesterday's training session with the shunshin she was going to learning a completely different type to before and as such required a slightly different training session to learn such a technique. Miyuki began to stretch by doing just like she had before by leaning on both of her legs, pulling them up from behind and pulling and bending her body in order to loosen the tension in her limbs. The girl after stretching had decided what she was going to do for her training routine, she was going to run up the stairs then run down towards the crates in which were a further fifty meters each time giving her body a rather quick warm up to prepare for her training.

The blonde did just as she decided to, the sound a man shouting to other crew men was what signaled her to begin with her training exercise. The girl ran from inline with the craft all the way up to the top of the stairs, tapping the ground at the top she turned around then started running back down the opposite way. Almost tripping as she ran down the stairs as quick as possible she landed on her two feet perfectly and then started running towards the crate. Tapping the crate she then ran back up to perform this process once again and then once again, the process repeated till her body could take no more and needed to rest.

Now onto the technique at hand the woman gotten a variety of items in which she was going to throw then follow using shunshin. The first was a small wooden box that looked like it once held jewlery, the girl tossed it out into the open then using the power of shunshin ran towards it, with no curve or redirection around objects she found herself launching into a stack of crates that knicked her legs as she ran past. This resulted in her tumbling over at extreme speed into another larger stacke of crates most of them breaking instantly on impact however some crumbled ontop of her and around her. Miyuki was angry however this was not going to hinder her training as she pulled herself out of the wreckage and dusted herself off, no a box was not going to beat her this time.

With only two more chances to do this technique correctly she headed back over to the stack of items to throw, this time she had chosen a medium sized rock. Throwing that into the air was easy enough however using shunshin to follow it was the trick. Using one of the remaining two times she could do it today she followed it as best she could however she was unable to appear next to it when it landed and as a result she had now only one more chance to do this. She went back to the last of the items which was a small metal disk, throwing that into the air a high speed and following it with shunshin was the idea and if Miyuki was to correctly perform this she would have learnt yet another technique in coming to the Land of the Sea.
