Training [Solo]

It was a clear day in Takigakure and Taiga was in the best of moods, he staring out the window his indigo eyes surveying the village. The chair he was in felt so comfortable but he hated being stuck in the office on days like this, a devious smile appeared as a thought ran through his mind. He leaped up from his chair and walked over to the door that exits the room, he opened it and leaned out looking around then returned the door to it's closed position. He turned and ran over to the door hidden in the back of his office, the door lead to a hidden stairwell which lead to a private training ground for the leader only. Upon reaching the training grounds the setting would all change, lights in the ceiling would illuminate the short grassed ground which was patched with sand and dirt in random spots. A pond with a waterfall pouring into it, the waterfall was pouring out of the wall. It was like a perfect paradise waiting to be discovered, though he had been brought here by Chrollo a little while back. Taiga began observing the arena as you could have called it and then decided it was perfect to train himself, He reached to his back and drew his new sword Zanatou a large blade but strong indeed. He lifted it off his back with his right hand and with his left he signed a seal to summon the mud near the pond the waterfall was dropping into, to form a clone of himself but it wasn't holding the sword he simply staring back at Taiga. He began to ponder how he ever achieved the rank of Leader a mere accident? No maybe Chrollo was testing him, or maybe it was just the spur of the moment. No matter Taiga was now in charge and he had to maintain the villages peace and fulfill all duties of the village that are required of a leader. The twos eyes were locked as their minds snapped back to complete attention to the reason for being in this underground paradise of a training zone, it was time and they knew it as they nodded towards one another signifying they were ready to begin in the training that was to begin.

The clone reacted first and very quickly as he signed out the seals Monkey, Bird, Dog, and Ram. Chakra began to accumulate inside his his mouth as he quickly inhaled and then exhaled a great swirling ball of Katon chakra, the ball was large and moving at quite the speed as it was intended to crash into the original. Taiga watched as the signs were made and prepared to counter quickly, the swirling blast came hurling itself forward with momentum and he knew it wouldn't be long till a perfect dodge could be executed. He jumped doing a twirling upside down flip out of the way and during the flip he drew one of his three pronged kunai from his pouch, which he threw at the clone before touching down on the ground. The kunai was traveling at an outrageous speed till nothing but the clink of metal was heard, the clone had drawn the katana on his side and deflected the kunai attack knocking it back out into the air. A good defense for a weak technique he charged out after the clone and was met with the same response, the two collided in the middle of the field the sounds of two blades scrapping against one another as they each tried to overpower each other. It was a power struggle now and neither of the two own a will that would allow them to give in, but what could be done in this time obviously Taiga knew as he pulled one hand from the Zanatou and began to form seals while the two were interlocked. He was sure to hide what he was doing as he wanted to surprise the clone, it had seemed he was successful as he signed frantically Tiger, Ox, Dragon, Hare, Dog, Bird, Rat, Clone Seal, Dragon and finally Ram. Taiga slammed his palm forward into the belly of the clone the shark formed and exploded nearly simultaneously as the two were thrown back by the sheer power, the mud body was laying on the ground though is wasn't much of a body just two muddy figures that used to be legs.

A smile grew on his face as Taiga watched the mud begin to reform creating the clone once again, it meant the training would continue at full speed hopefully and this time they had more knowledge on how it was going to happen. Taiga extended his arm the Zanatou pointed at the clone who was reforming back into the mirror image of Taiga, it was time to begin their battle and this time it was no holding back a completely new motive. They were to destroy one another and that was going to be the training they endured as they prepared, though Taiga wasted no time as he signed off yet again. The tiger seal was shown then Taiga then inhaled and exhaled quickly releasing a massive dragons head which raced towards the clone the chakra was immense and the power behind the dragon was enough to disperse the mud clone once and for all. Taiga watched closely as the Clone seemed to spin to his left narrowly dodging the fire blast, which irritated him as he charged the clone slashing back and forth with the Zanatou. Each slash was met steel with steel as the clone used his own version of the Zanatou this time to defend himself, with every none connected blow Taiga grew furious and began unleashing more and more of his strength. Each blow still not connecting his fury grew to its limit and he slammed the sword into the other placing one foot on the blade he pushed off doing a back flip which he signed the seal for the Horse and inhaled Chakra, he then converted it quickly into katon chakra and fired it at the clone it was simply unable to be dodged at least not efficiently. the massive flames engulfed the plains of the training grounds which were now the crematory for the muddy clone who Taiga watched as he seemed to melt away into the mud he started as, with that he signed his last seal the Ram seal. He then spewed a massive amount of suton chakra from his mouth over the training grounds to extinguish the flames which he had produced in the first place, the mud clump in the center of the field was quite satisfactory as he turned away headed for the stairs which would lead back to his office.

He arrived at the door with a simple smile on his face as he entered the stairwell and began ascending back to his office, he would open the door and walk over to his desk where he would then sit down and begin to work on drab papers and boring work of the leader. This was the only part of his job he couldn't careless about but it was what needed to be done and taiga wasn't going to neglect his duties as that was shameful.
