Hikarou
D-rank
Today was another day of hard work for Hikarou Chi of the Leaf. The grass squeaked under his pivoting feet and the wind whistled with each movement of his body. Though fighting a lifeless opponent, the Genin refused to take it easy. Each punch and kick acted a small step toward the future, and the sounds of his determination reverberated throughout the training grounds. Crack after crack blasted through the air as Hikarou relentlessly assaulted the defenseless stump. But after hours of this, the sunset had finally drew nigh. Hunched over and gasping for air, the exhausted Genin decided to take a break. Quickly, Hikarou spun around, pressed his back on the stump, and slid down. His body went limp with satisfaction and a smile crossed his face.
His mind began to wander forward, into the impending Chunnin Exams. However, the young Genin knew he was not prepared. He needed more jutsu, more training, more techniques, more intelligence, and more will to succeed. But this would only come through working away the sunlight, and Hikarou knew time was a small price to pay for dreams.
However, the question of methods persisted. Would he simply toil away on a tree until the exams, with no company but the sounds of his labor? He thought to himself, 'Surely there is a better way to train.' But he knew very few ninja in the Leaf Village, and absolutely none who could assist him with his predicament. Luckily, the head of his clan would be teaching him a few new jutsu in the immediate future. But, until then, the lone ninja needed to figure out a more efficient way of training.
After much thought, Hikarou was feeling revitalized and ready to continue training. So, the Chi ninja jumped up on his feet and spun to face his lifeless enemy. He was almost out of time, only having about an hour and half of training left. 'It is time to stop messing around. Whether I have a training partner or not, I need to continue to grow. Moving slowly is better than not moving at all, and the Chunnin Exams could be starting any day now.'
And so the cracks began to fill the air once more.
