Having recently awoken, Tenjin was preparing for a day of training. He dressed himself with his typical shinobi headband, firstly proceeding to place his Shinobi headband on. The front of the headband was the Iwagakure village symbol, which was resting upon it's plating. His attire including the usual attire but this time in black. Everything was normal with Tenjin in terms of wear, and he didn't carry any weapons today, not even the Kunai knife he had. The reasoning was because he didn't need them, he wasn't heading out on any missions, he was just training, which didn't require any weapons. He wasn't going into a spar, he wasn't going to practice his Kunai aiming, his Kunai throwing, or anything, he wasn't going to train a Jutsu either. He is doing something which he should have done a long time ago, training his second elemental release. This allowed him to enhance his Ninjutsu usage, by adding more to his arsenal. Originally, he could only use this elemental release in a really basic way. Tenjin was also an amateur with his earth release, but he needed to train his second element today. He had an element in mind, one of the five basics of course, Fire release. It was a destructive element, which he viewed as primarily for offensive means in combat, unlike a few others. It was the opposite of his earth release, while it used for defense, fire is used for combat, at least if only in his opinion. It was why he was looking forward to training it. He looked forward to fighting and such, and fought with a more balanced style of fighting. He didn't enjoy defense, but it is obviously needed to protect yourself and others. Although, he preferred quicker fights, thus he focused on having more offensive style techniques in his arsenal of moves. It was something his grandfather had done, and it worked out for him, thus leading for Tenjin to think this way.

Tenjin proceeded to move out, having eaten a simple breakfast, which was just some toasted bread and then some. The day was good enough for training, wasn't too warm or too cold, so he could keep up his training for the amount of time he planned for. The sky was clear of clouds too, at least for now, so he wasn't expecting any rain, or bad weather of any sorts, which led to this being a rather decent day to train, he just had to make the proper use of his time. Walking through the outskirts of the village borders, heading towards the highest mountain in the earth country, Itami Mountain, where he would practice on the pieces of paper he had in his pocket, a rather large stack having been cut into four small squares each, which made worth a decent amount of training for today. This was a method he was told his father had picked up when testing his natural elemental affinity, which had resulted to be Lightning Release, which was shown by the paper beginning to crumble up as a result of him pouring his chakra into the paper, or focusing it, depending on whether the proper term was being used. Now, however, rather than the paper crumbling; with a little bit of effort Tenjin should be able to make the paper burn as a result of him focusing his chakra into the paper. It wouldn't immediately burn, most likely. He figured it would take a little bit to burn, burning from the top to the bottom. Least, this is what he figured. For what he knew, the paper could very well end up becoming engulfed in flames once he uses his chakra on it, however, he would have to work hard to make it do this, due to his natural affinity it could very well get in the way for a long time to get the paper to burn completely.

Despite him knowing that it would be hard work training for Fire Release, he was grinning on his way to the Itami Mountain. On occasions, while traveling towards the mountains, he would stop, looking around the area as animals began to make their way towards wherever they were going. However, after quickly glancing, he would rush back to traveling the mountain. He was moving to the quarter point of the mountain for one reason; because Tenjin could die climbing the largest mountain of Iwagakure, and he preferred not to.

Upon arriving to the Itami Mountain, he would notice nobody there. While it appears as if nobody has been there for a long time, this was not what he would have originally expected. Others had just not come this far, he would have preferred for it to have more people, to train with of course, his preference. He would walk to sit under a tree, where he would take out a bunch of pieces of paper at once. Leaving some in his pocket in case the ones he took out blew with the wind, though he tried to find a decent spot with a lack of wind blowing in face, so the papers he was using for training wouldnt be blown away, he didnt find an ideal location. He was sitting down, his legs were crossed, one over the other. He held a hand sign with hi right hand - his preferred hand, holding a piece of paper between the index and middle finger. His ring and pinky fingers were bent over properly, and his thumb was resting upon his ring finger. The piece of paper in between the index and middle finger he would be the piece he was using for training, at least for now. He began to focus his chakra, from his finger tips into the piece of paper. Nothing happened at first, however the paper slowly began to crumble up. He'd messed up, but figured he could continue to use it. He remained there, staring at the piece of paper, focusing his chakra into it. Nothing happened any further, besides the crumbling the paper proved useless. If he were looking for his natural element affinity this would have been over by now, however he wasn't. He was working on gaining skills on fire release, which would take a lot longer than he would like, which he knew.

More time had passed, he'd been through three full sheets of paper already, which, in total, was twelve of the squares which had been cut out of the papers. He had quite the amount of paper left, in terms of the amount of sheets he had left, he had perhaps five more sheets, which made it about twenty more squares to go through. Mostly all the previous ones he had already used resulted in the crumbling of the papers, which was typical. He didn't really expect to get done today, but he had some paper left so he would continue on with his training. He pulled out another square piece of paper, and focused his chakra into it. By this point he had two full sheets worth of paper left, besides the piece of paper he was using now. He watched it crumble up once more, and then proceeded to sigh. This had grown somewhat tiring, repeating the same stuff.

Nevertheless, he picked up another square, having had his rest, this was the first to the last sheet of paper he had. Hours had past, he spent maybe a few minutes on each square, which led to time passing. It had been a very boring few hours. Picking up the piece of paper once more; he would place it once again in between the index and middle finger. He began to focus his chakra once more, sighing, as he assumed the paper would begin to crumble. He closed his eyes, literally becoming tired now, perhaps through the amount of chakra he had already used, which wasn't much, but at the moment he didn't have a large pool of it. He opened his eyes after a minute or so, noticing the paper hasn't crumbled. Not enough chakra?.. he thought, examining the piece of paper, noticing a dark mark in the top right corner. He was somewhat happy, however his feelings ran short as he realized a drop of rain had just hit his leg. He looked up, and almost immediately his grin disappeared as it began with a light sprinkle, ruining the paper he was using and his remaining paper off to the side. He hadn't been paying attention to the weather.

Having packed up, he began to dash to a cave. His plans having been ruined; his grin had disappeared. While he had only a few pieces of paper remaining left in his inventory, he still was making progress. Then the weather had gone and rained all over his parade, literally. After arriving into the cave, he would merely consume a meal he packed for the training, where he would begin to merely gaze out towards the rain, in disappointment. He sighed, having searched his bag for extra paper, of which he didn't have anymore, he believes, he might have to call it a day and continue training tomorrow.

Having had a great night of sleep, Tenjin proceeded to rather train than end his day because of the rain. Though he couldn't get to training right away, he merely stayed in the cave, tearing a sheet of paper from a book he brought to the training, and cutting them into four squares like the others. He took each one of them, growing slightly more angered with each one as they all crumbled due to him not being able to control his fire release all too well, despite him being as proficient in his earth element, however it was nothing but crumbling papers - one after another, every single time. He would sigh, having been doing this for hours already, he had become exhausted in terms of his chakra usage. He picked up one final piece of paper, this going to be the last one for some time. Focusing his chakra into the piece of paper, he began to breath somewhat heavily, and faster than normal. As he looked, the paper would crumble. Tossing it aside, he would lay down, seeing as he was in a cave, Tenjin wasnt all too comfortable. He would be resting on the paper that he had been training with, just wanting to sleep, which he eventually did.

Adding insult to injury, it appears as if the weather is still not looking all that great, which is why Tenjin is staying inside of the cave to train this release in the first place, it would have resulted in nothing more than a waste of time to practice fire release in the rain, as he wouldn't have even gotten to this point, considering it had started raining once more half way into the training session of his. Looking outside, there would be nothing but a small shower, nothing to worry about if one had an umbrella. But since his training involved these pieces of paper, he didn't wanna risk going outside and having all of them ruined, fortunately for him he had the ability to train indoors today. Having exhausted his chakra; he decided to take a nap, as there would be nothing better for him to do anyways.

Hours of napping later; he would wake up. The weather had grown somewhat worse, and from the sounds of things it might even thunder. He went into his bag, grabbing more food, adding water and warming it up under a fire to where it was edible. In his other hand he held a book he had recently bought - and just started reading. Inside there were multiple jutsu, he browsed through them, looking for a decent fire technique to train with. One that he would be able to learn after this training. He found a few, he was browsing the maximum rank that the book had offered information over, for the most part, which just so happened to be C ranked. These were all considered to be lower ranking techniques, at least in his opinion, however they were perfect for starting his fire release proficiency training. While it wasn't as powerful as he would like for them to be, considering it was unlikely that he could perfect a high ranking jutsu only after just training the release, flipping through the pages of the book, he had found one jutsu he had found interest in, however wanted at least one more, for the sake of having stuff in his arsenal. He had a hard time finding low ranking Earth Release jutsu, too, the ones he did find, if any, weren't as appealing to him as they should have been. He came up with the idea of training these low ranking fire techniques; if only to get better at training in general, and then he would train some high ranking Ninjutsu techniques. Of course he didn't have to train just Ninjutsu, which had just occurred to him, however he figured it would be better to train for the things he found somewhat interesting first. Every other page he turned, he would pause his readings and begin to pick up some knowledge on the fire release. Steam would rise from, the food he ate with one hand while staring into the book he held with the other. He sighed, looking over at the remaining training paper, figuring he should try to get back to work, however he still had ramen, and wanted to find another jutsu anyways. The only problem with waiting was that his family could be back at any moment, though he still felt tired. Tired which resulted in him acting in ways which he perceived as lazy, this was unacceptable. Exhaling a bit, due to the somewhat stressful situation of training an elemental release, he would pick up a piece of paper. One from the many squares he hadn't used yet - thankfully he'd bought plenty of paper. Having already flipped the page for the book, he would stop eating and hold up the same hand seal he had been using for this training. His index and middle finger pointing straight up as usual, his pinkie and ring fingers were bent over, and his thumb were resting upon them. He would focus his chakra into it, once again. He was skimming over his book while doing this, too, so his focus wasn't entirely put towards the piece of paper, making it take longer. Eventually, he would look back at the piece of paper he was holding in between his middle and index finger just to make sure that he could do his training. It was starting to crumble up; he didn't expect anything else to happen at this point. He discarded the piece of paper, proceeding to turn the page once more, still looking for a good jutsu. He sighed, hoping to find one soon. He picked up another piece of paper, and, as was required for this training, held it between his middle and index finger. The repetition had been growing dull, but he continued doing it anyways. An hour had passed, he had seen a few good jutsu techniques for Fire Release that tickled his fancy, however was going to pick two. He had a few in mind, though what he figured was best was namely the two that seemed the easiest to train. He looked over at the most recent piece of paper - also the last square. He sighed, having went through so many papers within the time span of a few hours was both depressing to himself and to his wallet. He would watch it crumble up after focusing his chakra. Typical, he thought to himself.

He closed his book, and decided to pick his two jutsus, having written down a list of them. It was a small list however out of those few he would only be picking a few of them. Having no more paper, and being tired as a result of his continuous training, he would lay down once again, brushing all the papers he had left on his side into a corner next to him, he would throw them in the trash tomorrow. Right now he merely wanted to rest, to ensure that he could get some good training in. Even those with Godly stamina must have to rest every now and then, but unlike them he could only do this for a few hours before growing tired. It wasn't like he was giving up on it, he just wanted to complete his training in the most efficient way possible, despite him loving training. He grinned as he almost fell asleep again, imagining himself at the end of all this.
Time had passed, he had been training with these pieces of square paper. Having constantly been cutting them up and then going through a new pack each time. He'd been taking his time seriously with this training, however the breaks were out of pure exhaustion, when he was planning to do anything fun he usually slept through them. The day he had planned on training had also been hampered due to the presence of the weather's intervention too, so he couldn't keep training outside of the cave like he wanted under the sun, which hindered the progression rate. Over the course of these hours of training; he had shown progression despite the hindering day. He had begun to burn more and more papers ript from books he has brought to read during his breaks, the burn on them gradually growing more and more. Eventually it would come to the point to where he could burn half the paper effortlessly. However, he wanted to burn the paper out of sheer determination.

After a lot of time again had passed, he would start his rigorous training once more. He was clothing himself in determination. He would pack things up suggesting that his training is nearing his end, while stuffing a few pieces of square paper into his pocket. He wouldn't put too many in there however, rather confident that he could end his training in less than 3 more hours.

He would begin to walk outside which again showed the sun shining down on the mountain side, seeing much of the same things he did the first time around, yet all muddied now. The weather was fairly nice, so he didn't really have to worry about the rain again. He merely went to the tree under which he sat, one where the wind wouldn't be bothering him all too much. He didn't mind a little wind, as long as he would be able to complete the training with as little extraneous variables as possible. He would pull one out with his index and middle finger, and begin to form the hand seal he'd gotten way too much practice with over the past few weeks. His pinkie and ring finger were bent over, like usual when performing the sign, and then his thumb was resting upon the two. he began to focus his chakra into the sheet of paper; each time thus far he'd manage to nearly burn it all the way - however now it was different. The paper engulfed itself with flames and began to burn instantly, but he still had more paper, so he decided to go ahead and burn the rest. Focusing his chakra into another one that he picked up, holding the seal once more, he would begin to focus his chakra. From top towards bottom, the paper would slowly begin to ignite with flames, burning itself, he would drop it and watch it turn to ash, it still looking as if it were in full paper form, just colored differently. That would change when the wind blew, and blew the ash away. He would grin, taking out another one. This had become surprisingly more easy now that he had practiced it, thankfully. He'd already selected his two jutsu over time as well, so he knew what to train, after resting of course, right now however he would merely finish off burning the papers, one after another. At one point he tried to do two at once, however it didn't work as quickly, he still got it though. Tenjin was amazed by the progression he made throughout the day and before he knew it, the sun came down and it was night fall. Tenjin realized that he was a genin in the outskirt of the village and didn’t want to be part of any troublesome interactions. Tenjin gathered his things and made the body flicker hand sign as in an instant, Tenjin traveled at top speed down the mountain. While running to his house in the village of Iwagakure, Tenjin began to think about the fire release element and his proficiency, or lack thereof in his earth elemental release. Tenjin needed to train his earth element after sleeping.
