"Down to business."

Mugen cracked his neck, molding a serious look about his face. This was something that wasn't regular. Mugen was up and energetically moving. The lazy shinobi wasn't being so lazy today and for good reason. Every ninja, nowadays, knew the Body Flicker technique. Mugen would be getting outran in every fight that he found himself in.

Getting beat up wasn't something Mugen would enjoy so he resolved to go on and get serious for once and just learn the technique. Mugen sat, thinking to himself, Okay, most ninja these days use the Shunshin through ninjutsu, wasting up chakra. Mugen smirked lightly, scratching his chin a he thought. I plan to just use this technique through physical prowess and save my energy. The lazy shinobi, finally stood yawning in uncomfortable discontentment. He really didnt feel like training but he had too.

Mugen had already prepared 4 rocks and a large boulder to weigh himself down as he ran and trained. He tied 2 of the rocks to each wrist, the other two on his ankles finally placing the boulder on his back and tying it around his torso. This was crazy, Mugen could hardly stand, his back swooped over and his legs shakingly bent, trying to stay on foot. Mugen began to walk. He had two days to train himself to run 10 miles with these rocks attached.

Mugen shifted his body slowing, attempting to move forward. His walk turned into a slow, terribly shaky, wide footed waddle. His feet rising slowly, not a whole inch off the ground, treading about 3 feet forward before plummeting back to the ground, the next leg doing the same thing in the same struggling manner. Somehow Mugen would have to be running with these stones attached to his body.

This method wasn't a nice one but it's the only way Mugen could think of to get faster. Weighing down his body in such a manner would put his body in an never ending work out. Sweat rolled and muscles cringed, Mugen continued to try to walk. Thud, Thud, Thud, ever step was falling faster. Mugen wasn't going to last much longer at this rate. His muscles already hurt and it's only been 20 minutes. He wasn't going down that easily. He continued his fatally slow, failing effort.

Falling to his knees, his back buckled, slouching over his head planting right into the ground. He was down for the count. He couldn't move his arms or legs. He might as well been sleep. Mugen's usually careless attitude was foiled through his frustration. A vein revealed itself on the right corner of his forehead as Mugen's hiding anger appeared. He wasn't about to be defeated by some damn rocks. Screaming in frustration, Mugen pushed himself up quickly with his arms, rolling onto his feet, standing once again.

"It's not over til I say it's over."

After two days of waddling, struggling and falling, Mugen had got the hang of his weighted apparel. At sunrise of the third day, Mugen was already out doing push ups and squats with the stones attached. "495, 496". . . Mugen was reaching the end of his squats, slowing at the end. "497". . . "498." Mugen had ran his 10 miles and this was the last thing he thought he needed to do to prove that he could move normally with these weights on.

"499". . . His arms felt like it was about the buckle, as the sweat rolled. Mugen had at least one more in him. He could be lazy any other time but he was going to make his slacking body do this one. One for Kumogakure. One for mom & dad. And mostly definitely, one for himself. Mugen could pull it off Afer this he could nap all he wanted to. arms bending, building up momentum for his final blast of motion, thrusting back with all the throwing power capable. "5 0 0 !!", Mugen shouted as he finally plummeted to the ground, finally able to lay down but not exactly the way he wanted to.

He untied the stones and boulder one by one, finally able to move freely. He swarmed and wiggled, around on the ground for a seonc before returning to his feet. For the last three days, Mugen had not taken off the stone and thus his body was still compensating for the weight that he no longer bared. He began to jump around. color=blue]I'm light as a feather.[/color][/b] Mugen jumped up exceedingly high, coming back down to the ground with a light thud.

He quickly dashed forward. Nothing but a blur could be seen as he moved 10 meters ahead in seconds, reappearing. He had it. He could finally roll with the big dog when it came to speed.[/size]
