Higuto Speeds up Even Further

Higuto was once again stepping onto the training field, ready for another day of putting his body through the ringer to get it ready for some future battles, as he had brought with him the Katana he had bought some time ago but never got any training in with it. This time he was not only going to grow familiar with his blade but he was going to learn three different things in order to further his knowledge of his powers and to also be able to become that much closer to becoming a powerful shinobi. He had decided that today would be the day he finally got to learn how to channel his chakra into weapons like his katana. This way he would become that much more dangerous on the field of battle.

He prepared his body once more as he took off his jacket due to the day being hot and sunny as he stepped to the center of the field and breathed in and out as he sat on the ground and began to meditate his chakra. He had acquired the power to control lightning but was never able to put forth the efforts into learning a jutsu within such a domain. He knew it'd take a lot of work to learn skill from scratch but he knew that if anyone was going to do it only he could through hard work and major effort. This was going to require a lot of chakra to do, as well, so he needed to extend his control even further and create within him an extensive amount of power. To that end he knew he needed to prepare his chakra network, as well as the muscles of his body, in order to not only be efficient in the art of using the Chidori but also in utilizing it through his blade as he fought someone. He concentrated on the storm of chakra he contained within him as he breathed slowly in and out and became ready for some exercise.

He could feel his chakra becoming calm with itself as it was guided through his body in ways that allowed him to feel tingly all over. He chuckled to himself as this training had come naturally to him with all the chakra training he had put his body through in the past. This was excellent in providing him with ways of utilizing it in many different ways, especially when it came to him infusing it into the insects he held within himself, as this time he'd be using it to infuse it into a foreign object which is something that was going to prove very different and difficult for him to achieve. He smiled, though, as the challenge was ultimately going to prove that much more rewarding for him in the long run. He continued to meditate until he felt his chakra was primed and ready for him as he slowly stood to his feet and walked to the tree which held his jacket and his katana.

Upon reaching the tree he knelt down to pick up the katana as he could feel the chakra he had trained was trying already to course through him and wanting release from his body. He stood up as he drew the sword from his sheathe and looked at the blade to see it was quite sharp already and this caused him to smile as he knew that by the end of this he was going to be able to make it so much more sharper than it was accustomed to being. He sighed softly and began to take in deep breaths as he prepared his inner power before allowing it to guide it's way through his network through his arm and into his right hand which held his Katana. He could feel the chakra stick to the hilt of the blade but he couldn't feel it coursing any deeper than that as he tried to direct his chakra a bit further down into the hilt and was dismayed by how it couldn't seem to travel any lower than the hilt. He knew more concentration would be needed as he formed the half tiger seal with his other hand and focused more on his chakra. He felt his chakra extend itself a little bit more into the blade but not at all by much as he sighed softly and felt that it might not have been the best time to focus his efforts into the putting his chakra through just yet. To that thought he laid the sword back down onto the tree as he decided that now he'd train for the power to channel his chakra a little easier as he then began to run in place to prepare for physical exercise.

He then began to take off as he ran laps around the field at top speed in order to train himself for the jutsu as he knew it'd require a high amount of speed for him to be able to even hit anyone with the jutsu as it was mainly for those within close range. He trained and kept running at this speed for as long as possible as he panted and looked at things to serve as distractions from the pain and torment he was putting his legs through. He would sometimes run along the trees and the rocks as he ran in order to train his chakra as well in order to grow more accustomed to the Chidori itself. He had learned the jutsu required an abnormal amount of chakra as well in order for one to use it multiple times otherwise they'd potentially kill themselves after trying to call it forth one too many times. He wanted to avoid that as much as possible but knew that he was smart enough to, if on the field of battle, he would know what his limitations were and therefore wouldn't use it too many times. He knew he'd be able to be in situations where he could use it without worry of missing given and granted the opportune moment. He thus had to increase his efficiency as a ninja in both speed and strength if he wanted to be able to utilize the Chidori to the best of his ability. To that end he continued to run around the field, his breathing growing shallow and quick as he was growing tired from the physical effort as he tried to keep it as calm as he could.

He was amazed at how fast he was seemingly able to go now as he seemed to zoom faster around the field then he ever could before. This caused him to smile as he knew that he was fast enough to keep up with some of the village's, and foreign villages, faster ninja. This made him happy as he utilized the water by running across the river and then trained his chakra by running along the nearby rock cliff as he continued with his laps around the field and slowly gaining his speed. He kept his legs moving, his lungs trying hard to supply oxygen throughout his body, as he kept running around to the point until he couldn't help but stop and collapse right next to the river as he panted and took in all the sweet oxygen he could take in before he decided to get back into the business. He rested on his back by the river, looking up to the bright and blue and cloudless sky as he panted more and kept himself from burning out too fast.

As he rested he chuckled to the fact that, little by little, even though it was proving to be a bitter challenge he was growing stronger slowly but surely. This made his determination towards training that much stronger as he got back up to his feet and thought that continuing his physical training was the best way to go in order to be able to do the skill properly. He walked over to the stumps that were nearby and began to hit them over and over as he wanted to try and get his strength up to it's max as much as he possibly could. He thus began to strike at the stumps with his arms and legs again as he wanted nothing more than to have some sort of proof that his power was indeed increasing to the levels he was wishing to achieve. He wanted so much more.

Once he had finished hitting the stumps to the point of hurting himself he stopped and looked back at his katana as he then decided it was now time to go about trying the skill once more. He picked the katana and put his fingers up into a half tiger seal as he concentrated his chakra into his blade and was delighted to see the chakra form along it properly. If he didn't know any better it looked as though the chakra was helping in making the weapon stronger and sharper which put a big smile on his face as he smirked and kept it going. He went over to a tree and slashed at it as his chakra blade seemed to pass through easier than ever before. He watched as the tree toppled forth and he decided he wouldn't let the whole thing go to waste as he got under it, readying his chakra blade beside his hip, as he waited for the tree to almost complete it's fall before he would strike multiple times at the base in quick succession. He watched his blade as it cut the tree into many little different sized logs as he smiled at the prospect that they could serve as firewood and he watched it all roll to a halt a little ways away from him.

He sighed softly as he got back up to his feet before sheathing his sword back into it's scabbard as he allowed his chakra to relax and die down out of it. He smiled as he had made excellent progress with the skill and he felt that it was time to learn yet another as he still felt fresh and ready for a good set of training. He wondered what he would train for, though, as he felt it may not have been a bad thing if he was to learn a little bit of healing. However he didn't feel he had the fortitude to do any training yet for healing jutsu as he felt he didn't have the necessary amount of chakra for it. So he'd put his focus into something else this time for a change and teach himself something in the lines of Space and Time.

He had heard of a handy jutsu that those who trained in S/T could use which could allow the user to place items in a separate space for them to collect later known as storage displacement. He thus went back to the training field, his chakra feeling ready for what was about to come, as he decided he'd finish up his physical training before he went any further with his jutsu training. He thus got down onto his hands and started to do his push ups as he grunted with each rep all while trying to keep his attention to the cadence that he kept within his head. He was doing rep after rep, finding them an incredible amount easier than ever before, as he could feel the fruits of his constant training labors by how easily he was able to push out every push up. He could feel the muscles of his body acclimating to it all as he could swear they were beginning to show thanks to his constant exercises. Sweat poured from his forehead, falling in little droplets onto the ground under him, as he kept up his pace to make certain that he got the most out of his exercise. After what felt like a good few minutes and a good number of push ups, he had given up counting after 50, he felt his arms and chest protest against him trying to keep up his pace as he started to pant from his efforts. After a good set of 20 more push ups he decided that his body had had enough and he got to his feet and started to bounce up on his toes so that he could psyche himself in learning the Storage Displacement Technique.

He took out one of his Kunai as he looked at it and thought he'd try to put his chakra through it as well to see if he could get the same results he got with his sword. He was able to channel his chakra into the Kunai as it grew a new sheen of chakra over it as he smiled over his new ability and relaxed his chakra. He then, while still holding the Kunai, brought his hands up to form the Tiger seal as he gathered his chakra and began forming hand seals. He formed the seals of Rat and Dog before he felt his chakra concentrate into his hands and his Kunai suddenly burst into a large number of particles that disappeared away. He blinked as he formed the seals of Rat and Dog again as he willed the kunai to come back to him and he found the particles once more coming together to form the Kunai he had placed in the displacement and he grabbed it as it felt like it was before he first commenced the jutsu. He smiled and formed Rat and Dog again as he felt his chakra go into the Kunai as it went into the Storage Displacement once more for him. He did this with all his Kunai before summoning them all back before him, ready for use, as he grabbed each of them and placed them back into his weapons pouch. It was here that he felt it was time to try it out with his katana as he grabbed it while it was still in it's scabbard and formed the Tiger seal once more while still holding it in one of his hands. He closed his eyes as he summoned more chakra than he had before as his chakra began to swirl around him into a funnel and he formed the seals of Rat and Dog once more.

He held his katana out as he felt his chakra take hold of it and it then burst outwards into a large number of particles, as well, as he watched with excitement and anticipation. This was going to really help him out if he ever was in a jam as the act of carrying around a sword proved to be a bit more of a warning then he would've liked to his enemies. He decided he'd do a little bit of training involving the technique to make sure he could be able to get himself out of a jam as he got to his feet and walked over into the forest. This was going to be among the last things he did for his training as he grabbed his jacket he had left beside the tree and put it back around him as he continued his journey into the middle of the forest. He walked over the logs of the tree he had cut down previously before as he walked over to them and gathered his chakra up again as he formed the Rat and Dog seals once more as he displaced all of the logs into his S/T storage in order to get them out of the way for his fireplace. He walked to the center of the forest that he was in and found a dead tree that wasn't serving anything but dying in the middle of the woods. It wouldn't have even served as good firewood as he walked up to it and stretched out his neck and began to bring his hands up once again in order to commence with the Jutsu.

He gathered his chakra as he formed the seals of Rat and Dog once again as he plunged his hand down to a space beside him as he focused his chakra into his hand. He then brought it quickly back up as the sword infused with his chakra cut the dead tree in half as he watched it slowly crack and collapse to the ground. This would serve as an excellent way for him to get a sneak attack in with an enemy should the need ever arise as he couldn't help but smile to this and, with the seals of Rat and Dog once more, he displaced his sword into the S/T space once again. He nodded to his improved skills and his stronger body as he felt satisfied at the day of training he had as he walked through the woods and out over into the Hidden Leaf village once more. He walked it's streets, looking around and hoping that one day he'd be able to bring about change, as he made his way to his home and walked inside while taking off his jacket and hanging it on a rack beside the door. He then walked over to a little stand he kept by the fire place that he used as a perfect area for his fire wood as he formed the Rat and Dog seals once more in order to call forth the fire wood that he had collected in the forest in order to place it all in the space he used for it. After that was done he nodded, pleased that everything was now in order, as he got up and stretched his body while cracking his knuckles and neck in order to get any kinks out. He then changed his clothes as he got into his night wear and opened the covers of his bed to get in. With his day done and his progress now completed he fell into a slumber ready for the next day.
