Legs crossed, check, Dragon seal, check, dead silence, check, strange place to be doing this, check, top of a mountain to be specific. Kaekio sat in her meditive stance on the very top of sky point, channeling her chakra in her body... she had discovered the weakness of the ryuzoji clan not long ago and now she has come to the conclusion that she will over come it. most ryuzoji's are very Lightning inclined, and as such poses a varied assortment of different lighting style justus, and what not... BUT! there main weakness? lighting... if lightning was to simply graze them, they they would be unable to use there sensory abilities, AND any other lightning abilities... this left a ryuzoji struck by lightning rather defenseless if he or she were to only ever use lightning style justu totally useless. which is excatly why Kaekio has set out to better her secondary element. fire. just then Kaekio managed to achieve the chakra level she had wanted, she convereted the nature inside of her to fire, although instead of the fire she was used to inside of her body, she tried to make it hotter. she changed seals to the tiger sign and inhaled and exhaled deeply as she began to concentrate on the task at hand. she the type of fire the she was used to inside of her... step one completed. she then focused on making it stronger, she focus more chakra into the center of her body, and condensed it, then she slowly but surely used this massive amount of chakra to make the fire inside of her more and more intense, but this came at a cost, not only was she expending more chakra hen she was used to, but her body was not accustomed to such a degree of heat inside of her. kaekio bit her lip to prevent herself from focusing on the pain from the intense burning inside of her. she kept on going, building it up more and more... until gradually the fire became to much for her body to bare any longer. Kaekio released the chakra from her body and a massive fire was sent outwards from her body in all directions. causing a massive explosion around her. she put her arms in front of her face in order to protect herself from the flames. her arms and legs received minor second degree burns. kaekio bit her lip once more, but this time it was to prevent herself from yelling out in pain. maybe she shouldn't try that method of training again.... Kaekio stood up, she needed to figure out another way to control a higher level of fire. then she remembered something! it was something she had read in a book awhile back, although it sounded fairly basic to her, and she wanted to make it a tad more complicated then she read about.

A massive fire roared In kaekio's hands. firing straight upwards, and reaching the ceiling of the cave that she was standing it. the heat from the flames blasting right in front of kaekio's face was so intense she could hardly bare it, but she had to maintain a certain level of control with this fire, or else she would surely pay the price for it. she hear was that twist that kaekio had thought about adding earlier. the cave was actually filled with a high concentration of highly flammable natural gas, and the only thing that caused this entire cave from toppling over. was the small pocket of air created by the massive rush of energy  shooting upwards from the flames, it caused the gas to be expelled outwards, however kaekio still needed to maintain a high level of concentration on her fire, or else the flames might shoot outwards instead of upwards, cause the ignition of the natural gas, and a whle caves worth of explosion to bare it's force down on to kaekio... it was this type of training that really got things accomplished. because it forces one to learn quick ,or else the pain simply keeps coming and coming, back and back again, without stopping, and so one has to learn fast if they want to stop it. granted it was not the most approved method of training but a highly effective one none the less, and the best or possibly the worse part of this, was no one was here to tell Kaekio she couldn't do it. the best being she could train anyway she pleases, without rules or restricts or simply people stopping her from potentially causing herself harm. however there was a flip side to this coin... if something did go wrong and she become fatally injured, then there was no one around to  help her, or treat her... at this point she would need to survive a week and a half before her master would begin looking for her... when she left she had left a note at his home, the stated this

Dear Sensei,

I am going on a week long trip to get some private training in for the chunin exams, i should be back in a week however if i am a little late don't worry. When i do want you to worry is if a week and a half come by from the day this letter was sent on, and im not home that is when i wish for you to come search for me... well now that that is over with, i hope you enjoy your week off and ill see you very soon

Love, Your Student
- Ryuzoji, Kaekio

that letter had been deliver about three days ago, and so as of now she would still need to survive, a few more days, if she wanted to live, had she gotten injured right now. due to her thoughts trailing a flame licked outwards towards the gas. Kaekio's heart just about stopped. she regained her focus and focused back on the flames before her. a side from that little mishap she was beginning to this size of a beam of flames, and so she spread her hands a part a little bit more, slightly increasing the size of the beam... she had to be careful not to move them to quickly or the flames would ignite the gas around her, and so slowly and slowly she began to move her hands outwards gradually increasing the size of the flames that she had to control. until eventually she could enlarge it no more, without burning her face completely off.. and she already had had burns covering her arms and legs... she didn't need some on her face now too. she kept that fire roaring for about another hour before she felt like she was at her limit chakra wise, and stopped the flow of chakra through her body... it was weird how she felt very cold the very intense she stopped the flames, but she probably should have accounted for that... the sun had begun to set by this point and she figured that she should probably call it a night, and so she walked over to her tent, climbed inside and fell asleep rather quickly.
