The days ahead were hard as Miku began jogging in the forest with his loose t-shirt and his new swim shorts. He continued on his route as he ducked under tree branches and jumped over tree roots. The wind blowing through Miku's hair as his tail swayed from side to side, as if trying to fly through the air he kept on going. Keeping a slow and steady pace as he kept on thinking to himself that he must work hard as he kept on going. He thought to himself that he had to train more and more as he kept on going, he grabbed an orange from an orange tree and using his small little kunai he peeled the orange a bit then used his fingers to remove the rest in order to improve his strength. Devouring oranges and running through trees as he side step them and went from side to side in a slalom fashion as he practiced his evasion skills more, in order to master the art of dodge to one day become the dodgekage or was it dogkage as he became a bit confused thinking while exercising.

He threw the peels into the bushes to act as nourishment for the forest, whether it became minerals for plants or animals ate it. He was helping nature and helping himself as he kept on going his hair bouncing up and down with each step that he took as he swayed so did his hair. His clothes flowing and his muscles glowing with the glistening sweat that fell from his forehead as he was working hard to become even stronger.

Miku kept jogging and then began forming hand seals as he practiced them over and over again, one after the other, as much as he could as he thought he was being watched. Meanwhile he was still jogging dodging trees, dodging roots, dodging leaves and even dodging wild animals as he was making his way towards the river he thought to himself that he needs to train even harder then this, that this was not enough as he took in a deep breathe and smiled by himself.

With a sprint and a dash and an over the top jump he kicked a tree and realizing it was not enough to break the tree he used it as a foot hold to press back. He did a flip and landed on his feet and then began to run around the tree side stepping it like crazy as he made a wild slash from side to side followed by a double slash as the tree still stood taking his abuse, while it was bad for the tree it was also bad for him for this tree to challenge him. He knew nature needed to be preserved, but at the same time he knew they were a part of nature and neglecting themselves when thinking of nature was wrong. All things are alive and all things die, so why should we worry about what we kill when everything in this world kills in order to survive.

Enough!!

He focused chakra into his blade and slashed with full force at the tree with his wind cutter technique as the tree received several cuts to its bark as it scratched all over and still stood. With that he marked this tree as it was strong, he began to attack it again and again over and over before planting a mark to say this was his tree as he made his way out to the forest for more training.
