Contradictions of the Heart(Training)

[Skye]

World Shaking
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Gathering a good amount of Chakra into either index finger, the Medical-Nin is able to slam their finger into the earth below them and create a five foot wide, twelve foot long and ten feet deep fissure. This is used to disrupt attacks that come at the Medic from head on. It could also be used as cover when there is no other way to evade.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Standing with the legs shoulder length apart, the Medic briefly gathers chakra into their index finger before leaning forward and slamming their finger into the ground causing a fissure to occur.
Limit: Must be at least Brawler level.

Alone he was…finally. His mother was nowhere in sight. That was a relief. Skye sighed as he entered his own backyard. His private haven where he could train, cause destruction, and wreak havoc all he liked without anyone interrupting him, save his mother. But she was off doing who knows what. And his team was off doing their own thing. Skye honestly wondered if they were about to do the same thing he was. Were they going to train also? Or are they just screwing around?

Skye began to prepare for his next challenge. The Will of Kratos style of fighting was what waited ahead. It only seemed a natural calling for him. A destructive “medical” style? Skye was probably not to choose only one life path. A life of pure healing or pure killing was definitely not meant for him. After all he was born to an assassin AND a medic. Contradictions of the heart were indeed present.

Warming up and meditation was most likely a good idea before any real training was to begin. Skye took a seat on a large rock. He sat down on the hard surface and crossed his legs. Relaxing his body, he began to clear his mind of all unnecessary thoughts that didn't pertain to his current situation. That objective didn’t take long to reach. Skye was usually focused before he even stepped into his haven. Next, Skye practiced his control and release.

He faced the open air as he curled his hands into fists. At first he just let the chakra flow into his fists, letting it build up with time, then releasing it. He ignored the how much chakra for the moment, and just got used to the feeling of the control and release. As he became more and more accustomed to the feel, he started to regulate how much chakra he put in. He felt himself tire a little at the beginning for not being precise. However, now he was fairly sure that he was conserving the right amount.

After his warm up, it was time to move on to the heavy stuff. World shaking. No fancy name..just “world shaking.” Skye was to gather chakra into his index finger and slam it into the ground causing it to break into a small fissure. World shaking? A small fissure is nowhere close to the world, either way it sounded easy enough.

Skye looked at the ground. His legs were spread not too far apart. He held his hand out and started to gather and hold a fair amount of chakra into his right hand’s index finger. He figured at this point it’d be best to go with the dominant hand. As soon as he thought he was ready, he dropped his knee and braced his finger for impact. Moment of truth…His finger hit the ground, Skye’s body tensed. His finger stood only slightly piercing it. Skye bit his tongue out of pain. You can’t really blame him. Even a small injury like that can hurt twice as bad. It had the same ill effect as stubbing your toe.

Didn’t build up enough chakra. Need a little bit more. Skye massaged his finger, trying to make it more relaxed and less stiff from the previous encounter with the ground. He stood feet spread again, his right hand out, and began to mold chakra into his finger again. Bracing himself, he dropped his knee and slammed his finger into the ground. Once again, moment of truth…his finger hit the ground. A large pot hole appeared and his finger still slightly hurt. Close…but no cigar…

They say third time is the charm right? Skye was ready to test that theory out. He was close. He was pretty sure that he only needed a bit more power built up and he would be fine. Like his last two attempts he stood feet apart, right hand out, chakra in his finger. And once again he dropped his knee, finger headed straight to the ground. And for what Skye hoped would be the last time, waited for the moment of truth.

Finger Flick
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: By gathering chakra into either middle finger, the user then "flicks" their opponent in the forehead which causes them to soar backwards.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: This technique is mainly used to get some distance between the user and their opponent. The user simply flicks their opponents forehead and sends them flying backwards for about fifteen feet at high speeds. Attack causes moderate damage and would most likely just give the opponent a slight disoriented feeling.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

A fissure appeared in the ground. Skye smirked a bit. He was satisfied that he got the right amount down, and was maybe a bit full of himself for a second, but he quickly shook those thoughts from his mind. Now was not the time to get cocky. Especially alone where no one is there to see it, you just look stupid if you do that.

Thoughts passed through Skye’s head about what order he was going to try and learn the techniques in. He had decided that first he was going to work the fingers. That shouldn’t take too much time seeing as how he only had one finger technique left. Then he would work his way to the hands. After that he would just flip a coin to see what came next. Great plan huh?

After taking a break to regain some energy, he was back at full strength and ready to try the next technique. Finger flick. Sounds fun doesn’t it? It consists of a flick to the forehead with the middle finger. Skye grinned at that. Yes, the middle finger. Skye could see himself using this one quite often. It would be one of his favorite ways to flip someone off.

Skye stared at the tree that stood before him. This should be easy, keyword is should. This technique is almost no different than the last one. The only thing he’s really doing is switching fingers and instead of slamming his finger into the ground, he’s flicking something. Skye stood, feet about shoulder width apart, and his hand out stretched.

Concentrating he gathered chakra into his right hand’s middle finger. He felt it build up, an odd feeling pressure, and and started to guesstimate what was enough. He judged “enough” by how much he used in his last technique. After he felt fairly confident, he brought his finger forward and “flicked” the tree.

Snap. Crack. Plop. Not what Skye was looking for but it worked for now. He,again, didn’t build enough chakra up. The tree was supposed to break cleanly and fly back. Instead what Skye got was the tree snapped in the middle and the top heaviness of the tree weighed it down causing it to fall. Skye cursed himself a bit, muttering something along the lines of “Don’t be weak.”

Skye made his way to another tree and began to prepare again. He built up the chakra, stuck his finger out and flicked. The tree went flying back, very splintered. Not along after hearing the crack, there was a thud. Skye cursed himself once again. This time he used too much. He not only splintered the wood causing it to fly back, he had also sent that part into the side of the house creating a gaping hole.

His mom would probably kill him for that. But right now Skye didn’t have time to think about that. He wanted to finish this damned technique. He found another tree….He has a lot of disposable trees….He built up the chakra again. More than the first time, but less than the last. He flicked, and tree broke a little bit cleaner but not too much. He would have to train that a bit more, but not now, for a voice interrupted him. A voice that was like the sound of death. “Why the hell is there a hole in my wall?” Skye’s face drained. Mother was home…

Jab
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A simple chakra filled punch. Fairly quick but lacks some of the raw, destructive power of higher techniques. This is mainly used when the Medical-Nin does not have the space to wind up a fully powered strike. Can disorient some foes and usually sends them hurdling backwards.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Looks exactly like a normal punch, only filled with a quick burst of chakra. Still much more powerful than a normal punch, but realitively weak when compared to the rest of the techniques within the fighting style.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

The will to train was lost as soon as Skye’s mom stepped into the back, via the hole that Skye left in the wall. She was more amused than pissed, really. She had a weird grin on her face as she walked toward her son. Skye was nervous as hell. His mother was very unpredictable and somewhat of a sadist. Those two things probably don’t combine well.

Even though Skye’s mother lost her husband, that didn’t stop her from giving Skye discipline and abuse. Or in her words “tough love”. She walked over to him, Skye felt himself drain a bit more. “Don’t worry about the wall. I’ll find a way to fix it.” She said sweetly. Skye was definitely scared now. He knew what was coming next.

Pain filled Skye’s abdomen as the wind was knocked out of him. He had just been punched in the stomach by his mother. This was her equivalent of a spanking. She was no weakling and the punch hurt like a bitch, especially since Skye wasn’t allowed to tense up for the pain or anything. He was just supposed to take it. After doubling over in pain, then rising back to his feet again, Skye regained composure showing no feeling.

She looked at Skye. “You want to train? I’ll train you.” She said calmly. “Punch me.” Skye looked at her with a bewildered look. “You heard me. Punch.” There was no way in hell Skye was going to punch his mother. “Punch me!” She said more menacingly. Skye, afraid of what his mother might do if he didn’t punch her, brought his fist up and aimed it at her chest. The quick assassin dodged and appeared behind Skye. “What the hell is wrong with you? You were actually going to do it?”

His mother was pissed now. Really? You’ve got to be kidding me.Skye thought. “You were really going to hit me?” She questioned. Skye had enough. “You told me to!” He yelled. Usually Skye was intact with his anger, but she brought out the worst in him sometimes. Skye doubled over in pain once again. “Don’t you raise your voice at me!” This time he had been kneed in the stomach, the equivalent of being slapped in the face. “I’ve had enough of you. I’m going back out.” With those words she left.

Skye was furious. That was all the motivation he needed. He was ready to learn jab, just so he could imagine using it on her. Out of his furious state, Skye wasn’t thinking how he was going to calmly learn the move. He wanted to get it done. A boulder sat in the far back of the yard. Skye started to punch at it, fire in his veins. Little by little, with every punch he let more chakra through, not releasing it. Just storing it with every punch. Finally, with the built up chakra, he released it upon the rock, waiting for it to explode and shatter.

Skye looked at his knuckles. Bleeding, the skin eroded off from the friction of the rock. Skye’s mother had an interesting way of helping train. Get them so pissed that they want to just learn the technique out of fury, no matter the damage to thyself. He sat down exhausted. She really did bring out the worst in him.

Punch
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: An upgraded version of Jab. Although this technique is slower than Jab, the difference in power between the two is immense. The user gathers a great amount of chakra into their fists and then releases it upon their opponent.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Similar to Jab only with a slower wind up and much more destructive power. This is an attack that can cause some serious damage to an opponent.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

As the cloud of dust began to fade away, Skye looked around. Shrapnel of what used to be a large rock were spread everywhere. Skye really did a number on the boulder. Even though he didn’t do it on purpose, well he did, just not intentionally, Skye was still satisfied. What probably would have taken him about an hour or so to learn, he learned in like half the time.

The anger inside himself began to subside. Whatever built up hatred that his mother instilled within him was slowly flowing out. Skye looked at his knuckles. They didn’t look too broken up. Just small patches where skin used to be. It wasn’t the worst thing he’s done to himself.

Skye took a small break to regain his energy and clear his mind. After bandaging his hands, so not to let them get infected, he sat down in a meditative position and let his thoughts and mind drift away. As he let the rest of his emotions slip away, he felt more anxious to complete the last of today’s training. After he finished “punch” he was going to turn in and get some actual rest.

Punch…Yet another boring name…It’s the more destructive but not as fast version of the jab. Should be easy enough. That phrase sounds oddly familiar..Anyway, if it’s just like the jab then Skye should have no trouble learning it.

Another, rather large, rock stood at the far corner of the backyard. Skye just has unlimited amounts of nature in his backyard doesn’t he? He stood before the rock, as he did last time, and the time before that with a tree. He drew his arm back, let the chakra flow into his hand once again, and punched the rock.

Skye winced in pain. The rock only chipped, and his knuckles hurt from last time. However, Skye wasn’t going to let that stop him from completing this last damned technique. Skye drew his arm back again and sent if full speed toward the rock. His body involuntarily made his hand slow down before he hit the rock. His body knew what was going to come if it made contact with that hard surface. Skye’s mind was telling his body to get the hell over it but the body wouldn’t.

Skye sighed at himself. He was becoming too weak in his mind. What’s a little pain? Well a lot of pain…Whatever, there’s no way he was going to break the rock right now. And he didn’t want to waste chakra healing himself. Another alternative route was also available, The punching bag.

Sure it probably meant breaking it, but hey whatever, it’s not like he hasn’t broken other things around the house. Plus his mother would probably just replace along with the wall. Skye did a couple of test punches on the bag to get used the feel of it on his aching knuckles. It felt better, seeing as how the bag was more plushy than hard.

Winding his arm back, Skye gathered the chakra into his hand again. He took a step forward and leaned his weight into the punch. As the fist made contact with the bag Skye released the chakra. Things seemed to move in slow motion. He waited for the bag to just break off it’s chain and fly back. He was just waiting for the sand to come pouring out of it like he had just mutilated someone’s body. He just wanted today to end. He was tired.
