York & Shire

Senjiro stood expressionless for a short while contemplating his options as far as training was concerned. The method tends to vary according to what someone was wanting to accomplish. In the case of Senjiro, he knew what needed to be done. The only sticking point for him was deciding on the quickest but most effective route. Being satisfied with the results was just as important as the method. Senjiro was annoyed with the repetitive nature of his training. So much so that he wanted to challenge himself even more. His desire to be stronger than his current state was a driving force. He had no idea that he’d be this obsessed with the idea of power. Though never the type to abuse it, he took it on with great responsibility. Senjiro’s training for the day is based on increasing his Chakra capacity even more. Previous training sessions was a lot easier because he did it on a full tank. Senjiro decided he wanted to change it up a little today and challenge himself. The plan was to exhaust his chakra reserve and then push his body and chakra to new heights. In theory it was far easier said than done. Fact is, he was determined to do it despite some uncertainty.

The morning mist was minimal, remaining low while mingling with the earth beneath his feet. Senjiro could smell what he can only describe as moisture in the atmosphere. It gave off a pleasant aroma that only residents of Kirigakure could truly appreciate. The sunlight peered through the clouds above while proving to be a welcomed sight. He had enough light to be able to use certain specialized jutsus to maximum effect. There are times when Senjiro could be accused of neglecting his heritage as a Nara. He was such a scatter brain at the worst of times but knows exactly when to get his shit together. That’s exactly what he was attempting to do now. He wasn’t banking on it being fun, but hardly any real training session was. Checking on his surroundings, Senjiro was precisely fifty meters from the edge of a cliff. It had a one hundred meter plus drop for any unfortunate soul falling off. Down below waves crashed against the cliff side and rocks alike. The area was both secluded and peaceful. As such he was able to train without interruption. Such are his hopes for the time spent in this area. Senjiro had all his usual weaponry with him, along with his Shokkou cloak. Samehada was strapped diagonally across his back. This time round his weaponry may prove integral to his work.

Senjiro drew Samehada and stabbed it into the ground before him. The scales at the base of the hilt was left exposed as the bandages came undone. This was intentional for sure and was also part of his training. Thinking back on what happened previously. Senjiro often created a struggle between his body and chakra. Each side pushing back against the other, battling for dominance. In each case though, Senjiro found a perfect balance, but the outcome often yielded little reward. Senjiro placed his hand on the exposed scales feeding Samehada with Chakra. Samehada the glutton happily accepted the gift bestowed upon it. Feeding his weapon with Chakra was also part of the agreement between the two. Senjiro continued to feed his weapon until he was down to a measly twenty percent of his own Chakra. Samehada was thankful for its breakfast. Senjiro on the other hand felt as if he himself haven’t eaten for days. The blue haired boy began panting meanwhile trying to get his breathing under control. “I hope you enjoyed that because I didn’t”. He stated aloud while lifting Samehada. The weapon growled as a show of appreciation before Senjiro slung his across his back once more. It was now time to move onto the next phase which was the physical aspect. The body needed to be conditioned properly, otherwise it was pointless trying to increase your chakra capacity.

Senjiro started off by doing some push ups while counting each one. He wanted to see how far he’d be able to push himself before needed to take a break. It may prove to be difficult for him but hardly impossible. If he needed to, he could always borrow the Chakra given to Samehada to help a little. The blue haired Shinobi continued with his push ups, going past twenty. His legs were straight and remained close together. His hands were also straight meanwhile his head remained raised. He lowered his body and bent his elbow to allow this. Up, down, up, down and so it continued as he kept count in the back of his mind. He wondered how many of these was necessary before he grew tired. Push ups was also quite good for building upper body strength. Then again, he could do with some weights training too. Senjiro kept Samehada across his back while doing his push ups. The extra bit of strain was necessary for him. It was hardly detrimental to the integrity of his back. And was instead used to push his body beyond its limits. Push ups and more push ups it was then. Earlier, Senjiro couldn’t see any fun in training but his mind was beginning to change with each push up. The challenge was a turn on for the Shinobi bringing forth positive vibes.

Senjiro kept going with his push ups completing over two hundred before he had even realized it. His hands felt the burn which excited him even more. There was pleasure in doing such tasks, especially when you possess a twisted mind. The young man carried on with a sadistic grin encapsulating his current mood. Despite the challenges ahead there was cause for optimism. He was growing into it after each push up completed. His confidence and determination filtered into Samehada who was acting as a cheerleader. The blade growing bigger while on the man’s back to see if he would fold under the pressure. “Fuck you, bring it on bitch”. If only Senjiro could see Samehada’s response to him. Three scales erected with two folding while the middle one stood straight. Samehada’s version of the middle finger would go down well with other spectators on the scene. Senjiro on the other hand was left oblivious as to what happened. None of it mattered as it was in good humour between them both. Push ups and more push ups followed for Senjiro. He was lost in the moment not realizing he completed another two hundred. The young man decided it was time to take a break. Senjiro rolled over on his side before standing up and dusting himself off. A sigh followed on while his eyes observed his surroundings. Time for a mini break.

Senjiro halted his push ups ready to move on to the next set of exercise. He decided it was time for some suicide run. Senjiro picked up two rocks, dropped one next to his leg, the other was flung twenty meters away. This exercise requires him to sprint from one point to the next. After reaching his destination he needed to lower his body and touch rock. Senjiro will have to run back and forth constantly. While repetitive like doing push ups it was beneficial to him. This exercise will help with increasing his stamina, agility and strengthen his muscles among others. Senjiro sped off heading towards the first rock. Dip, touch, rise and run. Senjiro repeated the same process running from one end to the other. He dashed as quickly as he could dipping, touching, rising and running off again. Thinking back now, his other training sessions required less work than this. It will all be worth the hassle in due time. Senjiro maintained his current course of action running back and forth. The grin on his face suggests that he was still enjoying it. Normally he’d be sat down and walking around while training. But like he noted before the rewards wasn’t as great. Senjiro was thankful for every drop of extra chakra that he could get. But he was faced with the prospects of an exponential increase.

Run Senjiro run, you son of a gun. This was proving fun for Senjiro who kept on sprinting along from one end to the end. In his mind this was pure entertainment, even if childish. Sweat streamed down his face while breathing heavily. He was enjoying it but was hardly invincible. Even he needed to slow it down some and take a breath. The push ups and suicides proved to be a good work out. The task was more difficult compared to the norm. But that was purely by choice to test his capacity. Senjiro needed to now put the second part of his plan into practice. This part was more relaxing but will test him all the same. Senjiro drew Samehada again and placed it on the ground next to him. Senjiro brought his body to a state of calmness now prepared for stage two. He was almost running on empty as far as chakra was concerned. It also meant that he was able to test himself and surpass his current limits. Senjiro took a moment to reflect and enjoy his peaceful state of mind. He was thankful not to have any disruptions so far. He was given the opportunity to fully focus on his task. Everything around him was perfect. The morning breeze, the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff side. The gulls soaring through the skies was a welcomed sight as was the morning mist.

Senjiro channelled his chakra beginning stage two of his training. The physical side was done and now it was time for the spiritual training. Previously, Senjiro’s chakra training revolved around the spiritual side to it. He did very little physically which could be why he yielded little reward. He now feels that he’s figured out a better way to get it done. The physical side was as important as the spiritual aspect too. He could feel his chakra welling up inside. Filling up the tank that was depleted except needing to add a bit more. Samehada sensed the change in Senjiro even if he didn’t recognize it. No time to appreciate his accomplishments just yet. Senjiro kept on channelling his chakra which swelled up inside. He was on the right track now with the feeling that he was almost there. So close but still needed to do a little bit more to reach his destination. He could feel his chakra pushing the boundaries reaching new heights. Senjiro could tell that he had room for more but wanted to remain patient. It was pointless to rush into things and destroy all his hard work. Be smart and play your role well. That is what Senjiro had in the back of his mind. The man closed his eyes with a smirk on his face. His work will continue for the time being.

Now on the final stretch Senjiro felt even more confident. His chakra was now visible as it moved from being internal to also external. He stood up with confidence while radiating with chakra. Senjiro felt the difference in his chakra compared to before. He did manage to increase it by striking a perfect balance. He concurred that the physical work is just as important as the spiritual side. Senjiro viewed it as a matter of yin and yang knowing both was necessary. The chakra radiating from Senjiro subsided while he picked up Samehada. There wasn’t any need to feed his weapon more. But it was also important not to leave his weapon behind either. Should it happen then it could be a huge mistake by Senjiro. He was far too attached to Samehada to simply leave it behind. Their bond was stronger than ever something which is important. That was evident by the number of jutsus developed with Samehada. Not only that but Senjiro was working on more. Its been a little while since Samehada saw any real combat. Senjiro may yet need to go out and seek a friendly spar to tide him over. His mind set was different to Gekkido’s who loves the thrill of battle. He proves that he’s a true Kaguya daily. Always the first to put himself forward, less diplomatic compared to Senjiro.

Senjiro gathered all his things and walked towards the edge of the cliff. He stopped and gazed off into the distance, watching the waters flow. The time had now come for him to wrap up his training and move on to other things. Should he go and find what little friends he had? Maybe it was also a good time to form new bonds. Senjiro’s cloak expanded as the man channelled chakra into it. It reformed itself into wyvern wings and a tail to match. Senjiro leaped from the cliff’s edge and with a flap of his wings he took flight. Souring over the waters while enjoying the feel of the wind on his face. Senjiro flew inland and landed on the shores before setting off again. He was now off to go and meet up with family and friends alike. It felt like an age since he saw his mother and father for that matter. Maybe visiting home and travelling to other lands will do him a world of good. It will happen in time, for now he just needed to fill his stomach with food to sustain life. Samehada was fed so no need to even share a meal with the gluttonous bastard.
