The heavy rains that beat down on her didn't deter Kotone from the current task at hand. The young kunoichi's face remained as stone, unmoving in the face of the pain that was rippling through her body. The strong current that would lead over the waterfalls threatened to knock her back if she didn't maintain her concentration. Out of her siblings she was physically the weakest. Frail and with very limited amounts of stamina, it would be only a matter of time before these problems reared it's ugly head in and would most likely cost her and her team dearly. Taking a deep breath she slowly picked her right foot up and moved it forward. The weights that were placed on her ankles were far too much for her to be able to physically handle, but she knew that she had to get over that hurdle and keep moving forward.
Kotone's training for today would help her build muscle and a resistance of sorts to force and weight, or at least that's what she told herself. The rushing river that led down the waterfall was a constant reminder that if she let it get the best of her she would be swept away and sent down the river and to the bottom of the waterfall. The thought alone strengthened her resolve because that's where she had started this training. With weights that were twice her own weight strapped to her ankles and weights that were halve that on her wrists, it was a wonder that she could move at all. She had started from the bottom of the waterfall, climbing up the wet, slick, rocky wall and falling back down multiple times to the base of it. With each failure she would buckle down and throw herself back at her task, until little by little she made it further and further towards the top. Her goal was to reach the top and make her way safely back towards the village before nightfall.
For someone on the outside looking in they would have thought the training that she undertook would seem too arduous for someone her age, not to mention being a genin straight out of the academy. It would seem that she was pushing her body far too hard but for her she wasn't pushing herself hard enough. She had been soaked for hours from the downpour of rain and the rush of the river's water. It was the late afternoon when she finally planted both feet at the top of the waterfall, and that was saying something since she had been training before the sun even rose. Her feet and hands were pruned, violet locks slicked back from her face, and a fire in her belly that burned like coal in a furnace. She was sore but she didn't feel bad and maybe that had something to do with the water being enriched with nutrients and minerals from the rocks in it. Whatever it was she felt more than accomplished from her training, and the weights that once felt too heavy to move were now slightly less heavy. Now that she had made it to the top of the waterfall, it was time to make it onto dry land and into the village. Kotone had some daylight left but if she didn't hurry she wouldn't enjoy her personal reward for getting this far, and that was the sweet rich taste of teriyaki beef.
