Akaroku's New Home, Old Homeland [Perm Training]

[akaroku]

Waiting for the Yukikage

Akaroku was wandering around the village when he spotted a man walking through the village. Akaroku went up to the man and asked him where he might find the Yukikage.

Man: "You can find the Yukikage at the capital, yet right now the Yukikage is currently on a mission and has not returned yet."

Akaroku thanked the man for the information and went on his way. He would have to wait for the Yukikage to return before he could establish himself fully as a Snow Shinobi, but also in order to do that he would have to get himself used to this cold....

Akaroku walked through the village to find a place where he could be alone to train himself; after all, what would be a better way to warm himself in this cold than training?

Akaroku walked on to a clearing that had snow covered logs everywhere around it, with one big tree in the middle. He placed himself in a calm position and closed his eyes. He was focusing only on the logs around him....

Akaroku: "Since I have no sparring partner or opponent.... I must come up with a way to train the Hyakurestu Ken...." After Akaroku thought this, he opened his eyes and ran towards the nearest log. When he reached it, Akaroku kicked the log up high in the air and jumped up off the ground a second after the log was in the air. He pulled back his fist and began to punch the log as hard as he can, using Suigzou to create afterimages on his arms.

Hyakurestu Ken
Rank: B
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user uses great speed and force to unleash a string of powerful rapid-fire punches upon the opponent.
Drawback: Causes mild strain on the upper body of the user
Description: The user draws back and lets loose a flurry of high-speed punches, distributed usually between the torso and head area. Because these punches are so fast, they build up a lot of force and can cause moderate internal injuries as well as severe bruising. Using the afterimage technique, the user's fists appear as blurs, confusing an opponent and making it nearly impossible to block this attack.
Limit: Universal Technique, must know Afterimage

His fist connected with the log and sent it flying to the tree where he had been aiming the log to hit. The log only made it half way before it landed in to the snowy ground. He had been holding his strength back so he would not break the log in half, but he held too much back and it didn't push the log far. Akaroku landed on the ground feeling the mild strain in his upper body but pushed on.

Akaroku: "Without pain, no one can get stronger.... If I were stronger, I could protect the ones important around me.... This is my goal.... and I will push on!"

Akaroku moved forward another log once again and repeated the process, this time he flipped backwards after kicking the log in the air and pushed upwards. He sent his fists with a little held back strength, not enough to break it, but enough to send it forward to his target. Akaroku used Suigzou once again and punched rapidly at the middle of the log. The log went flying in to the tree and broke in to tiny pieces. Akaroku once again landed on the ground, feeling the strain in his upper body getting just a little bit worse.

Akaroku: "I've used two Suigzou techniques.... Three more in a different way shall be good."

Akaroku thought before a moment before thinking on what to do. He ran towards another log and kicked it up, and instead of jumping up with it he punched a flurry of punches at the log and sent it in to the tree. After this he ran to another log and kicked it up as well, and instead of just randomly punching the log, he aimed at the bottom of it and punched. The log spinned around one time before he sent another punch in the middle sending it to the tree along with the other one. He looked at the last log he was going to use and ran up to it as well. After he kicked this one up, he spinned around in a half circle and back handed the middle of the log with his right fist, sending that one to the tree as well.

All three of the logs shattered on the impact of the tree, and Akaroku kneeled down and felt the now medium strong strain on his chest. He was sweating but at least to him this kept him warm in the cold. He decided to take a break before going at it again.

While Akaroku was resting, a man walked in to the clearing slightly clapping.

Man: "I saw everything boy, very impressive. I'm familiar with this technique, and if you would like.... I can help you train faster than just hitting logs."

Akaroku looked up at the man. He saw a snow headband and he got up, looking at the stranger questionably. "Why do you want to help a complete stranger get stronger in a technique?"

The man looked at Akaroku and shrugged. "There's nothing better to do.... So I thought I might help a fellow shinobi."

Akaroku nodded and signaled to the man that he was ready. The man in turn got in a defensive position and waved for Akaroku to come at him.

Akaroku ran at the man and when he got in close range, he threw an uppercut using:

Hyakurestu Ken

The man grabbed Akaroku's fist and pushed it away. He then threw his right fist at Akaroku's gut using the Hyakurestu Ken but before he connected, Akaroku jumped away the moment his fist was thrown back.

Akaroku moved in once again and punched at the man with his left fist without using Hyakurestu Ken, and when the man caught his fist he threw his right one using sugizou at the man's gut. The man was caught off guard and was pushed back from Akaroku's attack. Akaroku moved towards the man once again for another blow.

The man was about to use Hyakurestu Ken when Akaroku spinned around again past his left side and used sugizou on his right hand and backhanded the man and sent him forward. The man rolled forward on the snow covered ground and got up, turning around to attack Akaroku while he was turned around.

Akaroku looked back and saw the man coming at him. Akaroku could see that he was moving slow and he jumped backwards when the man was closer and landed behind him. The man quickly spun around but it was too late, Akaroku had thrown a punch using sugizou right at the man's chest and knocked him forward once again.

Akaroku sprinted forward and when the man got steady on his feet, he threw a series of punches using another sugizou. The first punch he sent was at the man's head, but he stopped it just as the man shielded his face, and sent the second attack at his gut, making the man get thrown upwards while coughing up spit.

The pain was growing stronger in his upper body, but Akaroku continued on. When the man's chest showed exposure in the air, Akaroku punched him again with sugizou aimed at the exposed chest area and knocked the man far away backwards in the air and then on the ground.

Akaroku took a moment to wait for the man to recover and the man's body exploded in a puff of smoke, showing a log. Akaroku turned around and was hit in the chin by the man. He quickly recovered from the weak punch and sent jabs of punches with his right hand once again with Sugizou, and this time his attack hit the real person.

The man got up,and with a speed faster than before, ran up towards Akaroku and threw a regular punch at him. Akaroku used one of his hands to grab the hand and used his other free arm to attack the man's side using sugizou. The man unexpectedly caught the punch and head butted Akaroku, knocking him back.

Man: "Stop using the same old tricks, I can still see your slowness!" Clearly the man had been holding back a lot when Akaroku hit him with his attacks, but he had to continue on. Akaroku used his regular speed to send another flurry of punches when the man was moving in, and hit the man's face several times before the man himself kicked Akaroku before he moved back to hold his face.

Akaroku knew he was on his last Sugizou before he rested again and tried to make it count. Both he and the man ran at each other, and when they got nearer,Akaroku sent a flurry of sugizou punches at the man. The man at the same time did this as well and they both hit each other's fists.

Akaroku jumped back, and so did the man.

Man: "I've been counting, your sugizou has run out of it's uses if I'm correct.... So let's take a break shall we? Also, your pretty good.... I bet that you will learn the Hyakurestu Ken at the rate your going."

Akaroku smiled and thanked the man for the compliment. He sat down to rest, along with the man, and chatted with him for awhile.

After a long while, Akaroku and the man got up again and was ready to return to training. While resting, Akaroku learned that the man's name was Hiroshiro, a snow shinobi.

This time, Akaroku was on the defensive, yet at the same time offensive. Hiro (For Short) ran forward and threw a flurry of Hyakurestu Kens at Akaroku. Before Hiro came close enough, Akaroku had ducked down and when Hiro was busy attacking, Akaroku came up with a flurry of uppercuts at his arms using sugizou.

While Hiro was distracted with the pain in his arms, Akaroku threw a flurry of sugizou jabs at Hiro's gut knocking him back some with every punch. With Akaroku's last punch, he used all his strength to punch Hiro and the punc sent Hiro into the tree, knocking more spit out of Hiro's mouth.

Akaroku wasted no time and he ran towards Hiro, who was still in pain from the tree's impact. When Akaroku got in front of him, he threw another strong flurry in to Hiro's chest and gut, making even the tree make sounds of pain and creaking. Akaroku remembered that this was training and he jumped back to wait for Hiro to come on the attack.

Hiro took a few moments to recover from the pain and wiped blood off of his chin. He smirked at Akaroku as he moved in quicker than before and backhanded Akaroku again. Akaroku and spun around once more in the opposite direction and faced Hiro's back. He sent a Hyakurestu Ken at Hiro's back before he had a chance to react and pushed him back.

Hiro pulled out a kunai and his eyes told Akaroku that he would have to learn how to fight unarmed against weapons. Hiro came at Akaroku and thrust the kunai at his chest but before it could connect Akaroku used his left fist to use Hyakurestu Ken on Hiro's arm, sending his arm out of the way from Akaroku.

Akaroku took this chance to use Hyakurestu Ken on Hiro's right shoulder. He sent a punch to the top shoulder, a punch to the middle of the arm, and with the last punch he raised his fist up and brought it down on the area where the elbow was located. Instead of breaking Hiro's arm, he pushed it down in to the ground and Akaroku put a foot on his arm.

Akaroku used Hyakurestu Ken again this time at Hiro's face. This attack of his sent Hiro's arm out of the ground when Akaroku took his foot off Hiro's arm. Hiro was knocked on the ground from Akaroku's attack and Akaroku jumped backward to let Hiro recover and get up once again.

Hiro got up and moved his arm around to regain feeling in it and he stood up. Hiro threw the kunai in his hand at Akaroku and ran at him, pulling out two more kunai. Akaroku moved out of the way to dodge the incoming one and moved in front of Hiro. Akaroku used Hyakurestu Ken again on Hiro's hands to send them in to the ground once more.

This time, instead of doing the same thing over again, Akaroku moved to Hiro's back side and used Hyakurestu Ken to punch Hiro down in to the ground. After he was done, he pulled Hiro of the ground and let go of him quickly to dodge Hiro's kunai slices. Hiro sent a flurry of attacks with both kunais in hand using Hyakurestu Ken and cut several marks on Akaroku's sides.

Akaroku grimaced from his upper body pain and faltered for a moment but he had to use Hyakurestu Ken to punch Hiro's hand away from himself. Hiro jumped back and spinned the kunais in his hands before putting them away. "The sugizou use is up again.... Let us rest."

They both sat down once more to rest, and Hiro looked at Akaroku.

Hiro: "Your getting faster.... I hope you know that I held back even more in this round, and I believe that was mistake. Next time.... Don't expect it to be so easy to hit me."

It got dark soon after they stopped to rest so they decided to retire for the night. When Akaroku woke up, he found a note on his chest that told him that Hiro was called to a mission and wouldn't be back for awhile.

Akaroku got up, shivering, and walked out of the area.
