Akito Miku had to do some really intense training to prepare for the upcoming exams as he took in a deep breathe of fresh air from the rolling hills. To get things rolling figuratively he wanted to try that advice on singing while working out to see if it helps, or just to do it for fun as he got down on all fours and prepared a rather weird position for exercise.

He began to push himself up and then drop down again, this was like a new cat-like version of a push up as he began his song.

"One, hold your head up high, we only just begun"
"Two, keep going now, you know just what to do"
"Three, it does not matter if everyone laughs at me"
"Four, do not lay down I must do so much more"
"Five, be thankful that I am still alive"
"Six, i need to make my muscles harder then some bricks"
"Seven, if I do it too long I might end up in heaven"
"Eight, I will keep it up and steer my own fate"
"Nine, no matter the pain I know it will be fine"
"Ten, I wonder if the wolves have left the den"

As he started humming the tune as his new training with song had only just began, it seemed to be working but it was too soon to tell. Though the song he sang was actually in a training book written by a failed poet who paid to publish his own book just to show it off.

Akito Miku had felt so tired as he over did it realizing he ran out of lines after the hundredth push up as he just lost his grip and fell belly first into the ground sweating. Strength training was not cool, but he had not choice if he wanted to eliminate his one true weakness. As he lay there his tail not even raising itself up as it just lay to the side, his ears began to drop down low as the feelings of pain like the sweat the flow like a river on the go. How could he ever know the trial he would face would be far greater then he could ever imagine as he pushed himself up once more.

He began to think about a book he read about heroes and legends of the past. The story said that while great evil may live forever, true legends would never die as they get called out to stand against the evil that would plague this world once more.

Akito Miku knew he had to stand up when they scream out his name, he knew he had to rise to their expectations and if he won the exams the Inazuka Clan would have to accept him without question for his ability. However it meant losing was not an option he could take lightly as he moved to a nearby river as he stepped in shivering as he took off his top and prepared to challenge the river. He did one punch and then two and with that came the follow through as he beat out his frustrations against the flow as he felt the ice cold chilly water hit him so hard in the face as he refused to surrender to himself.

With a splash to the left and a splash to the right as he felt he would have to learn to master his technique and form far greater then what he did now. He proceeded to continue as his fists hurt he began to notice something, that it was easier to hit the waves if he allowed it to flow around him rather then try and stop it completely. He only had to divert its original path to improve his situation as he began imagining a new technique as he felt he should get up and do other training as he got out of the river he shook his head, let his tail shiver and spike up for a moment as it dried itself out and his cat ears did a shivering flick to remove droplets of water.

He stretched out a bit as he did not need to wear shoes anymore as his feet felt padded, but still soft like they were frail as it made him feel a bit confused. He began stretching his arms right up raising them towards the sky, then he lowered them before turning the one arm at a right angle to his chest and facing his left side, then he put pressure on it by closing his other arm over it to keep it in position as he was stretching his arm and shoulder a bit. He then took a bit of a breather before doing it with the other side as well.

Akito Miku knew that he would need to stretch really well for what he was planning to do later.

After doing his basic arm stretches he did more as he leaned to his right side while standing rather straight he reached his right hand as far to the left as possible as he kept his arm in a rainbow like bend, after a few moments he would switch and do the same with his other arm. After that he stretched his arms out wide to his sides as if waking up as he raised them up to the sky as if he had claws they would have come out right now to claw some furniture. He then leaned forward to touch his toes which seemed to be way too easy as he wondered when he had become this flexible.

After a while he pressed his hands to the ground and raised his body with his arms slowly as he carefully did a handstand by rolling forward on his palms of his hands that pressed into the ground. He then pushed up as he now completed his hand stand swaying his feet slightly for balance, which seemed rather easy as he did not yet know how useful his tail was in all of this as it moved itself to maintain his balance while he felt like blood was rushing to his head a little bit as he could hear soft sounds in the grass as he kept this up for a while.

The small Akito Miku began his push ups again in a handstand formation as he went low down his hair was touching the ground as he looked at it wondering if there was no other way, before pushing himself up again as it made him feel dizzy after he did roughly ten of them before falling with the front of his feet towards the ground as he returned to standing position again. He shook his head for a bit as he stretched once more before skipping slightly then he raised the heel of his right foot and then began rotating it slowly to warm up and loosen up his ankle so not to damage it during his bursts of speed. Round and round his foot went as he was preparing the joint for exercise, after a while he switched to the other foot and then proceeded to go to a near by stone as he stood on the edge with the front of his toes and sighed.

He then lowered his heal as his calves began stretching as his toes and the front of his foot had to hold his entire weight, his tail shifted to make it easier to balance as he held it for a minute, before raising himself up again then repeating the process a few more times. After that he pressed the palm of his right hand against the side of his neck applying a lot of pressure to help strengthen and prepare his neck, then repeated the same with the other side as well. After doing that he just rotated his head for a bit to loosen up his neck joint as he thought to himself that he would have to do his running warm up too soon

After those few stretches it was finally time for the real warm up as the little Miku began skipping once again on his little feet. After a few more skips he began to jog towards a group of trees, in a short moment he began to dash in between them like he was doing slalom practice, right to left and side to side. He was improving on his ability to side step danger while at the same time discovering what it was that made him unique. His tail allowed him to maintain greater balance and his senses seemed more acute then they were before, though he got the feeling his mom would make a cute joke from that as he blushed before dashing face first into a tree as he hurt his nose.

He fell back and hit his butt as he felt a bit stupid, but since he was alone he smiled since he enjoyed his time with his family a lot. As he sat there for a while the palms of his hands resting on the dirt beside him, he looked up to the trees and decided he would spend his time training some new techniques for the exams as he stood up slowly he got out his sword and began the first part of his major training for the day.

He raised up the sword in the center as he faced it up high unto the sky, then he swung it down vertically in a straight line right between his eyes in the place where his vision intersects. He then alters his stance with his feet lowering himself a bit before swinging the blade left, then with a shifting of his weight he spins the blade to swing horizontally to the right and then he lowers the blade. Preparing for a rise as he nearly touches the ground as he swings the blade upwards like he was doing an angled baseball swing, not that he knew about sports that much in the world of shinobi where it did not really matter.

He then began to slash rapidly with angled slices from his top left to his bottom right and vice versa as he then pulled back before thrusting an impressive stab at the air itself as he then shifted his weight once more as he began to focus his chakra, before stopping as he felt like his balance may be off from his balance being perfect. He then sheathed his blade as he then proceeded to perform a meditation pose to calm down and rest for a bit before beginning his shuriken practice.

In order to train more he had to practice one of the fundamentals of ninjutsu, while chakra control with form manipulation played a big roll he also knew he had to master nature manipulation at some point. However even before that there were the hand seals which were usually required for top tier ninjutsu. He moved his hands letting his thumbs lay flat on his pinkies, this was the hand sign for the monkey.
Then he switched his hands vertically having his left thumb on top to perform the dragon hand seal. He then proceeded to raise his right hand slightly as he positioned his hands for the rat hand seal with his left thumb on the outside.

He took a deep breathe since practicing these was important as well, he then made a triangular shape with his hands while blocking the opening to perform the bird hand seal instead of the usual triangular seal he used for some of his unique ninjutsu techniques. He began feeling like he wanted to be a bird as he stopped there for now since he wanted to just run through a few at a time as he began running in the hills, he began running on all fours and then he rolled forward in a tumble that was like a rolling hedgehog as he pounced through the air before rolling onto his side and laughing by himself all alone.

He wanted to have fun and he wanted to become strong at the same time as well.

Akito Miku began his mad dash on all fours once more as he began running at a steep angle his tail helping him balance as he circled around the area in this field of grass in the hillside as he kept going making the grass lower and lower as he made a windy trail. He began to think on how he could improve on his movement if more then before as he took note to keep going for as long as possible round and round in an endless circle as he felt like he had come up with an idea. He began thinking of items that could be of use to him as his neck felt a bit chilly as he kept on moving as the wind blew through his hair he began to think on many things.

The wind that blew him around and the water that washed him away, the fire deep down in his heart that burned like a raging flame bursting forth like a volcano as he kept going on and on, faster and faster as he began to realize what it was he would have to do. He had an idea as his feet did not hurt as they did before as he kept on running he found it strange his feet felt fine while still being soft they did not suffer any damage from him putting his full weight on his feet. He realized he had evolved for he was no longer the low level unknown whose name was Jamie, he was now a rare evolution known as Akito Miku, a wild beast who did not need to fear the harsh steps of the hard earth any longer.

Akito Miku began thinking on what he had learned and the levels of his skills, while he had talent in ninjutsu he did not allow himself to get carried away as he finally decided to improve on his weapons with the use of chakra infusions as he knew that it meant nothing if he could only use the weapons and not improve on them. He had felt disappointed that he seemed to only have the wind and fire element, while they did compliment each other rather well, it did not change the fact that fire would drain from the wind and that he had no counters for the use of top class water techniques.

He began thinking on all the weapons he had as he finally found a useful tree nearby as he dug a target disk out of his backpack and stuck it high up on the tree. He felt a bit proud of himself for thinking of this before tossing three shuriken as they hit the outer ring of the target and the next three just one ring more inside then that one.. He then tossed his one kunai which hit the center dead on as he felt he had been slacking off a bit since he should have landed all the shuriken closer as he ran up the tree he used his kunai with chain to cling to the tree while he got the projectile weapons out. He began to wonder what other ways he could train his shurikenjutsu

[2576]

Miku began to practice again as he jumped off the tree doing a spiral twist spin toss as three shuriken arc'd and hit inside the inner ring of the target, followed by a second twisted spiraling whirl as the remaining three shuriken also hit the target, followed by a rolling thunder landing as the kunai was thrown up in the air as he had his back turned as it just managed to land on the outer ring of the target. He knew it was a bit of showing off, but it was also a way to improve his skill since sometimes the flashiest moves are the most skillful ones.

He then took out his glaive as he through it with an arc as it just missed the target hitting a bit high as it wedged itself inside the tree. His tail then went swish as he whipped it to one side as he was feeling a bit excited about his improvement as he did not want to admit that his perfectly accurate shot at the academy was actually partially luck, though one day he wanted that luck to be his actual skill. He then began to take a running start before dashing up the tree then jumping up he kicked the weapons out of the target as he used the glaive as a climbing tool, though it was not wedged in deep enough as shortly after he fell with the glaive in hand as he felt like he might tumble and crash, but his tail swayed and he managed to regain balance and landed perfectly on his feet.

Miku was starting to feel a bit like a super hero

Miku began to dash left and then made a mad dash right, trying to side step himself even though that made no sense at all as he was training to do many things at the time, he also understood there was another technique he needed to learn as he kept training as hard as he could to prepare for the exams. He began tossing his shuriken into the air as he made a circular running dash in an attempt to catch them all, with one and a two and a three, four and five. The sixth shuriken ended up stabbing into the top of his hand as he fell down from the sudden surprise pain. His senses were still trying to calm down as he began to wonder if he could improve his senses by adding more noise to his surroundings.

He was about to continue but felt a surge of fatigue as he decided to take a nap.
