The sun was shinning brightly in the sky with a cool refreshing breeze living up the village. A young Kimura member was walking down the training areas. It hasn't been long since Koonta had graduated the Academy. His skills were still very weak compared to his dream and he had a lot of progression to achieve. However, he felt more than capable as a genin to be trusted with more responsibility and authority. Koonta was prepared to work hard to gain everything that he possibly could, there is nothing that could stop this young shinobi from completing his goals and dreams. The young genin always dressed loosely and comfortably. His black short sleeve shirt wasn't fully fastened at the top allowing his upper torso to breathe and be seen by others. His forehead protector was always polished and his image was always crisp and sharp. His confidence was motivating for his comrades but terrifying to his opponents. He always seemed to have a cocky smile, one that could infuriating others.

Walking through the trails of the training area, he noticed the bushes moving rather aggressively. He quickly got into a defensive stance and maintained a good distance from the bush. The bush would then stop shaking, then shake again viciously. 'Something must be moving that bush. What could it be? I shall think like a tactician and maintain a good distance. Be prepared for anything, Koonta. You have strong taijutsu and maintain focus.' His mind raced into his passive warrior mindset. He understands in the real world, an enemy shinobi would not hesitate to kill him, which is why he practices so hard. He treats everything like a like or death situation so that he will be prepared for the moment. The moment when he will need to kill his first enemy, the moment so he will not die. The moment when he is called to protect his fellow shinobi, he must not fail.

A loud grunt then alerted Koonta. 'The noise came from the bushes, be prepared. The grunt sounded like an animal and it sounded aggressive. It might be prepared to attack.' Following the loud grunt, a boar leaped out of the bushes and charged at Koonta. Luckily for him, he maintained a good distance to have enough time to avoid being hit by the boar. He vaulted to the side, once again staying away from the boar at a safe distance of about ten yards. The boar was rather large with a black tough hide. He had a pointy snout and small horns atop his snout. 'Okay Koonta, it is your time to shine. No running away, now what is the road to victory? Well, he attacks in a straight charge, easy enough. Catch him on the counter.' A grin appeared on the face of the young Koonta.

Without hesitation the boar charged back at Koonta. Unfortunately for Koonta, this boar was extremely agile and quick. The genin widened his eyes as he realized he might not have enough time to completely dodge the attack. He knew he had to at least try and maneuver around a direct hit and possibly hit him back on the counter. With little time, Koonta had only one place to go and that was up. Koonta then tried to hurdle over the charging boar. The boar reacted quickly by shoving his small horns into the right shin of Koonta. The hit knocked him off balance as he pummeled into the ground and rolled a few feet further. With haste, he jumped up back into a defensive position. He could feel his shin started to bleed and it was painful, but he knew to never show pain. He wasn't going to back down!

The boar then came back with another attack but Koonta already knew what was going to happen. The boar charged at him and Koonta waited until the perfect time to dodge. Koonta certainly does possess great reflexes and with this, he is hard to hit. With a quick side step of the boars charge, he was able to turn to the boar and deliver a small flurry of quick rapid punches to the right side of the boar, these punches were particularly aimed towards the ribs.

The boar did not seem phased with the quick flurry of punches. If anything, it looked angrier. The boar responded with a much quicker reaction and with much more speed. Even the focused Koonta couldn't completely keep up with the speed. Also, along with the injured leg of Koonta, he wasn't going to be able to move as quick as he could. The boar came and Koonta got clipped by the boar on his right shoulder. Koonta was quickly knocked down to the ground laying on his back. It seemed more like a violent push because the boar lowered his head and brought it up at the last second to cut Koonta, but failed. His right shoulder will certainly bruise but that wouldn't stop Koonta. Once again, he tried to hide the pain. He gritted his teeth in pain. 'Koonta, what is wrong with you? Focus!' He jumped back to his feet, however his knees were bent and he was close to the ground. His back was also aching, this wasn't looking good for Koonta.

With his knees bent and close to the ground, Koonta looked forward where the boar should be, and he didn't see the boar there. He turned his head and didn't see the boar near him. None of the bushes moved, with a look second Koonta looked up. The image of a flying boar was horrifying but it was about to land on Koonta. The attack would be devastating and he knew he had to get out of the way. With confidence, the young genin vaulted out of the way. However, it seemed to lack technique and was more like a mad dash to get away. Maybe he was just lucky because he had some speed behind it. This has seemed like a cat and mouse game for Koonta. He was sweating and started to breathe harder. Once the boar landed, it crashed into the ground, freezing itself temporarily. Koonta knew this was his chance and he would have to capitalize on it with speed.

With the boar crashing into the ground and stunning himself, Koonta knew he had to make this chance count. With his quick speed, he charged towards the boar and delivered a flurry of kicks. He then jumped over the boar and started to do combos on the boars side. With each punch and another punch right behind...quicker and quicker. The flurry turned into a mass barrage of simple taijutsu attacks. It seemed like the boar was never going to be able to recover from such damage. Koonta did not stop at all and continued to attack the body of the boar and even managed to put a headbutt into the combo. The boar tried to lift his hind legs up to attack Koonta but he would managed to jump backwards and dodge the hind kick. As the boar came back down, Koonta wasted no time to continue his flurry.

The series of punches and kicks landing were impressive, however Koonta was certainly running out of breathe and soon had to stop to recover. Jumping back to a safe distance, Koonta started to take slow deep breathes and recover from the incredible speed he displayed. The boar seemed bruised and in pain all over but this boar wasn't going to stop. Koonta also started to feel a lot of pain on his right shin because he was also using that leg to kick. The young genin never seen himself move that fast and was pretty happy about that.

Pumped with excitement, Koonta started to fight with his emotions instead of his logic like he was trained to. The boar started to charge at him once again, and Koonta decided to have a different approach. The boar came quickly and Koonta jumped on top of it, riding it like a horse. The boar started to buck in an effort to rid the boar of the young genin on its back but Koonta had a tight grip. The boar started to run in a straight charge but Koonta continued to hold on. The young genin started to bang his heels against the ribs of the boar, he was certain that his boar was in tremendous pain, but so was he. Koonta lifted up his heels but the boar jumped as high as he could and sent Koonta flying off the boar. He landed hard on the ground and rolled until he smacked into a sudden halt. A tree trunk managed to stop him but certainly bruised his back, Koonta was not having fun with this and the boar seemed to be a much bigger threat than imagined.

He enlisted the help on the tree trunk to help him get up, he knew the only way out of this was to defeat the boar. Koonta was honestly wishing for the boar to not return because of the pain he was in. He was surprised that a boar could do so much damage. Maybe the objective of beating up a boar without jutsu wasn't possible for someone his age. 'Stop.' He realized that he was making excuses for himself and he had to prove the world wrong once again!
