A cup of Tea

[kurushimi]

Kurushimi walks through the forest slowly, undisturbed by the fact that he seems to be the only one around. He has been traveling for weeks on his own exploring the little known Land of Tea.

"it's almost noon, perhaps i should have some lunch."

Kurushimi procedes to build a small fire on which he sets a small tea kettle filled with water. He eats a rice ball while he waits for the water to boil.

The cup of tea is good, the plants in this area are exceptional. Kurushimi takes in his surrounding as he relaxes near his slowly dying fire.

[OOC: No body's posted yet, so i guess i'm on my own for a while]

After the tea has been drank Kurushimi puts out the fire and scatters the remains. Though i do not sense anyone around, I should try to keep a low profile. Kurushimi procedes to travel the area and comes to the sea. He pulls out a cigarette from his coat and decides to walk along the shores for a while.

[OOC:eh, no big deal I just wanted to do some training or something untill I find some missions to do. I'm working on becoming ANBU, I don't know why i dont have a headband yet.]

[kurushimi]

After returning form his treasure hunting mission in the Land of Water Kurushimi coms back to the island. He has obtained a weapon of legendary powers, the Mist Godscythe. The enormous weapon is useful, but also very heavy. It takes much of Kurushimi's strength to lift it and is too heavy to just be carried around. He has fashoned a thick leather strap for it, and it now hangs in his back. The blade arcing over his right shoulder because of it's length.

The jutsus i can learn now are great and useful, but this damn thing is so heavy. I'll have to be able to weikd it before i can do anything of real use first.

Kurushimi decieds that it is time to so some severe strength training. He keeps the scythe on his back and runs of towards the forest. He is much slower now because of the immense weight of the scythe, but he manages to keep a decent speed.


[OOC: I'm preparing to learn:

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Type: D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Hatake Kakashi, Gaara, etc.
A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' It's a very basic jutsu and it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it.
Using chakra to activate the body, the user is able to move from one point to another with extreme speeds. This super-fast movement is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. To a normal person, it would seem as if the user has teleported. The amount of Chakra used depends on the distance and elevation between the user and the destination.
Among the many users and villages, various variations of Shunshin no Jutsu exist. Other varieties include "Kiri-Shunshin" (, "Mist Body Flicker")
Level: 6]


He runs for a half an hour doging through trees and jumping over bushes. He circles a small clearing and runs into the trees again. He continues to run, though he is now only at a pace of a fast jog. The weight has taken a lot out of him and his training hes used much of his endurance.

It is midday now, and he is completely worn out. The scyth's weight had proved to be more of a hindrance than he had expected. He takes off the Godscythe and decides to rest for a while. He leans it up against a tree and takes a seat beside of it. He Smokes a cigarette while he waits for his energy to return. After about a half an hour Kurushimi feels revitalized and is ready to train again.

This time he takes to the trees. He jumps up into the tree he was just sitting beside and lands on one of the lower branches. Though his strength has returned to him, he is not yet at full power. He jum,ps up several more times into the middle area of the ree and decides to get going. He jumps across to the next closest tree and falls greatly on the way over, the weight of the scythe dragging him down.

This is crazy, I wont be able to stay up here for long.

He jumps to two more trees and has dropped enough distance to make it to the ground from the limb he currently stands on. When he hits the ground his knees give way and he falls.

i can't last for too much longer

He pulls the scythe off of his back, for now it was time to learn about the weapons capabilities. Though the weapon is his now, he still is taken in by the ornate structure and almost decorative look of the scythe. He takes the scythe in his hands and lifts it up. Yet again he can feel the strength drain out of him as he lifts it off the ground. As he swings it through the air a surge of energy comes to him and he decides to try a few things.
He runs to the closest tree and jumps into the air. As he comes down he slashes the limbs off in front of him. The weight of the scythe makes the cutting of the trees easy. The end of the scythe's blade digs deep into the ground when he lands and branches litter the ground around him.

It is dark now and Kurushimi decides to call it quits for the day. He makes a fire and cooks some food before going into a restfull sleep.

[kurushimi]

It is morning. Around eight o' clock by Kurushimi's guess. He probably should have woken up a little earlier, he had a lot to do. He decides to go ahead and get into his day's training.

Kurushimi picks up the scythe, he is a bit sore from the last day's training, but he manages to push through that. even with one day's trainig it feels a bit lighter. Once he is fully recovered and at full strength it will probably be much easier to use the weapon now. Kurushimi decides to take a quick warm up and straps the leather strap over his shoulders. He takes a quick run through the woods, a fifiteen minute jog into a run back to this spot should do it.

Once he is finished he feels a bit winded, his endurance isn't quite strong enough yet, but that will come with time. He takes off the scythe and picks it up in his hnds now. He feels strong enough to use the weapon, now he must trian and become efficient with it. He goes into the woods slashing the limbs and branches off of trees as he goes. He practices his aiming and precision like this. Then he dicides to gt a little harder and begins to jump up into the trees and slash at the limbs as he travels through the air. He cuts off two or three branches as he climbs and several more while jumping through the trees.
again he decides to get more inricate, he hooks the scythe around a branch on his next jump and swings himself up into the air. The branch is cut through and breaks halfway through his rotation and he goes sailing deeper into the woods. He would have been hurt if he wasn't expecing it, and he lands safely on a nearby branch.

That was way too close

He decides to try again, and succeeds this time. He sails high into the air and breaks out fo the forest, when he comes down, he cuts off the top of a tree before landing in the branches below it.

He continues to cut off the tops of trees for a while, untill he is tired. Then he jumps down to the ground and takes a quick rest.

Now lets try something else.

Kurushimi concentrates on his chakura and pushes it into his arms. His strength now augmented by his chakura, he dices to wreak some havoc.
He stands before the giant oak tree he rested on the day before and takes hold of the scythe, much lighter now even with his fatigue. With one clean stroke he cuts the oak down.

For the rest of the day, he practices his slashing with his augmented strength. It is only another couple of hours till nightfall and his is nearly completely gone by the time he is finished.

Kurushimi awakes the next morning to the sound of silence. No animals are near and no birds are singing.
It is going to be a good day...
He sits up and builds a small fire. He boils a pot of water and prepares for his morning's tea. As he waits for the water to heat up he decides to warm himself up as well.
He begins with some simple push ups, while wearing the scythe on his back of course. His strength has been augmented conciderably by the past days training. Doing the pushups is almost easy, even with the scythe on his back. After several minutes of his workout the water comes to a boil and he stops to have his tea.
He sits against a tree and looks out upon the forest as he enjoys his cup of tea. For some reason tea has always calmed him, which will help with this days training. He plans to master the technique that he has been working on today. He's been working on it for a while now too, the Flicker technique.

After the tea is done Kurushimi gets ready to train and hone his skills of speed.
At first he runs fast through the woods dogding in between trees and limbs, but the flicker technique still isn't activating. It seems as though he is missing someting. For several hours he trains this way, running and running, but all he manages to do is make himself tired again. Though the scythe's weight is no longer a problem for him Kurushimi decides to take it off and try the technique again.
The scythe makes a great crash as it falls to the ground and a small cloud of dust rises in the spot where it lands.
This time i'll get it
Kurushimi takes off through the woods again running as fast and agile as his body will allow. Even though he is much faster now without the added weight of the scythe, the technique still fails, and again he only succeeds in tiring himself.

"What am I doing WRONG!!!" he yells at the empty forest. And he feels his chakura flare up with his rage. Then something in his mind clicks together.
CHAKURA!
It was the missing ingredient to the technique. There was a reason that it was a jutsu and not just a physical skill, and that was the use of chakura.
He remembers his earlier training with the scythe and how he had used chakura to augment the strength in his arms to makes him stronger, and he would use the same concept here only with his speed.

Kurushimi walks back to the place where he had left the scythe and picks it up again. He cuts a big X in the tree it was laying beside and turns around. He throws the scythe in fornt of him and watches it hurl through the air. It stops suddenly as the blade digs deep into a tree about 50 feet away from the tree where he stood. He walks over to the tree where the scythe is and takes out a shuriken. He then proceeds to concentrate his chakura to his legs and lower body. He feels the chakura flowing through him as it begins to enhance his power.
He throws the shuriken at the X in the tree and takes off running. his speed is greatly enhanced, but not quite there yet. He reaches the tree just behind the shuriken.
Again he takes aim and throws his shuriken at the tree that he just left behind and again he runs after it. This time he reaches his destination at the same time.

I get it now. I need to utilize more chakura to move at faster speeds.

He takes out one more shuriken and throws it at the X. He runs and concentrates all of his chakura to his speed. The flicker technique is successfull as he reaches the tree in time to turn around and catch the shuriken that he threw just seconds before.

At last, i've discovered the technique.
