Methias' training

(Strength, Speed and Dex)

A gentle gust of wind brushed against the brown hair of a young Hyuuga, tossing it to one side as he appeared to gain a great ammount of focus. His grey eye's gazed across the horizon, the forest of tree's that stood before him becoming intrusive and cluttered. Such a useless site was meaningless to the young man, the Sound headband worn with pride across his neck. This man was Methias Hyuuga, the so-said main house prodigy, his potential ability said to be far superior to those before him. However, such a pressure placed on his shoulders caused him to be slightly arrogant and egotystical, every day causing him to try and prove his strength. Of course, the best way to prove this would be to train and make his potential true. This, he was to do today.

Standing in but a pair of shorts and a shirt, he attached ten pound weights to his hands and ancles, as well as a twenty pound weight held within his shirt. Weighted training, the point of it being to become so use to it, when they were removed he would become instantly faster and stronger. Nothing new nor fancy, but it worked wonders, or so he was told. Upon attaching, he felt heavy. Amazingly heavy. This weight was nothing much to most people, but after around twenty minutes, every step he took made him feel as if all the air in his body was being absorbed from the muscle's he used to move them. Continuous movement caused him to exhaust himself, but that was the way the training would work. Even after total exhaustion, he continued.

Waiting for what felt like the best part of an hour, Methias stood back up, his eye's being released, activating the legendary Byakugan (-5 Chakra, 45/50). This was quickly visible based on the way his eye's seemed to focus, veins appearing all around the outside. Standing face to face with the tallest tree his three-hundred and fifty-nine degree eye's could see, he sped towards it, focusing Chakra to his feet. He leapt, hitting the tree full on, continuing his run. Charging up the tree, he made his way to the top, speeding across a branch and launching himself towards another, the wind pushing against his body and weights.

In a cruel twist of fate, the very weights he used for training turned against him. He wasn't use to this weight. Falling to the ground, he smacked the floor with a thud, barely landing on his feet before falling back on his butt. Sighing lightly, he pushed himself back up, before leaping into the air once more. This time, he used the unmatchable sight of his Byakugan to aim at a tree behind him, tossing several Kunai, aiming to create a perfect straight line up the tree. His feet making contact with the ground, he landed on his back, inhailing a deep breath, closing his eye's and deactivating the Byakugan to rest. Every breath caused his chest to raise and shrink rapidly. He was tired, but felt he had to check on his progress.

Pushing himself upwards, he looked at the tree he had shortly before aimed at. The Kunai were a mess, no organization, seven kunai barely hitting the tree, two where he had aimed, and another five completely missing the tree, lost, never to be seen again. Sighing, he pulled himself to his feet, his legs wobbling beneath him. Such weakness within him, he wasn't strong enough yet. Pushing himself more and more, he collected the Kunai from the tree, even the strain of doing so causing him some mild form of pain due to total exhaustion. Placing them within his Kunai case, he turned around, keeping the weights on as he used one final push to run up a tree, before laying on a branch, closing his eye's for a few hours sleep.

He awoke. The once morning sky was but a shadow of its previous self. An abundance of small lights decorated the night sky in what could only be described as a bunch of beautiful jewels, lighting the ground beneath them. Pushing himself upwards, his head smacked against the branch above him, his head suddenly oozing with a dark red liquid. Branches, a new enemy. Yawning slightly, he ignored the newest injury, his training to begin once again. Every moment awake not spent training was a moment wasted. Punching the branch, it snapped into two, falling down to the ground with a thud, as he stood above it.

Focusing Chakra at his feet, he leapt through the tree's, a task that was amazingly easier than earlier. He was already getting use to these weights, the impossible earlier being made possible. But he was hungry. Not eating all day meant he was weaker than he should have been, and to obtain food was the next part of his training. Speeding through the canopy, he released his Byakugan eye's(40/50), veins growing on the outside, an odd black circle decorating the pupil. Flying from branch to branch, he spotted fruit attached to what appeared to be a nearby leaf, around two-hundred meters away, and as such, he headed in that direction.

The wind was still, but due to the speed he was travelling, he could feel the resistance of the air pushing against him. Every leap took a small amount out of him, but every leap caused his muscle's to become stronger, more use to the weight. Several green leaves sliced open his skin as he flew past them, his body still sore from the earlier training. Cuts, several cuts. Nothing deep, no blood was drawn, but he could still feel the pain, more-so than the wound on his head. It stung, like a group of wasps had shown a great dislike for him. But this wasn't an issue now. He had to get to the food before anything else got to it.

Lading on the final tree, he plunged his hand into the fruit within the tree, pulling out a sticky, sweet smelling necture of red fruid. Pushing it into his mouth, his tongue wrapped around it, tasting the sweet goodness it possessed. Filled with flavour, it danced in his mouth as it eased down his throat. His stomach now filled, he jumped from the tree, landing gracefully, an elogance unforseen during his earlier expeditions. Yawning, he fell to his hands, pushing himself up from the ground, before lowering himself again. Doing this motion repetitively, he was performing what was refered to by the masses as "Push-ups", although Methias simply saw them as an upper body work out.

As he began to feel the strain in his arms, he leapt to his feet yet again, instead starting to do another repetitive motion on his legs, something known as "Squats". This exersize was used to strengthen the legs muscles, something Methias would need to keep his speed up. Repeating this motion, he kept his Byakugan active for any signs of attack. Flying from his right was a rock, speeding towards him at a high speed. Pushing on his front leg, he leapt backwards, evading the attack with utmost ease. Another from behind, which he instead twisted his body, kicking it with his left leg. Looking around the area, he saw nobody, but it was apparent someone was trying to help train him.

Looking around the blackened forest, Methias couldn't help but notice that all the once beautiful and bright stars had hiden themselves behind a mass of clouds, a chaotic feeling stood about the midnight air. Simply moments ago, rocks were thrown at him, but from a source unknown. Using his Byakugan, he could only assume the assaulter was simply covering himself by hiding in the Byakugan's blindspot at all times, a task that would mean that he knew exactly where the Byakugan's blindspot was, as well as the Byakugan's secret weakness. Pushing Chakra into the back of his blindspot enabled him to forsee any attacks that would be used against him. Such an idea was simply childs play, but it was a basic that a Hyuuga must never forget in such a situation.

Clearing his mind, Methias simply waited, waited for a time to counter. Another rock flew at him, again from his blind spot. Turning around, his body jolted forwards, speeding towards the area that it had come from, simply moving his head from the rock as he did. His body beginning to blur as he moved at such a high speed, his eye's focused on what would have appeared to be a young man, wearing a mask. ANBU? Not strong enough, Methias would have died by this time. Perhaps a fan, who had heard of Methias' leaving of the Leaf Village, although it was doubtful, he would not be recognisable from the kid so many years ago. More likely an assassin, simply seeking to take his head, but alas, Methias would have been his first ever target. A big mistake.

Weaving through the tree's, Methias crouched beneath the so called Assassin, his eye's glancing over the Chakra points all over his body. "Hakke Rokujuuyonshou" He spoke, before thrusting his hands into the male's chest. "Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two!" he said, starting with two attacks, each work inducing another attack, with twice as many hits at the same speed. Upon the Thirty-Second hit, thirty two Chakra points on his opponents body closed, but it still wasn't enough to call this an easy victory.

Feeling a kick to his face, Methias flew backwards. This Assassin was indeed tougher than he looked. Dragging his hands in the ground, Methias looked upwards, his new adversary flying through the air at him. His mind running at a huge speed, he let out a blast of Chakra, spinning around at a high speed in order to create an almost inpenitrable defense. "Hakkeshou Kaiten!" (36/50). Upon contact, his opponent flew into the air, as Methias slowed down, leaping into the air to attack. Punching him swiftly in the back, Methias landed once again, his opponent paralyzed from the waist down. Moving over him, he let out a slight laughter, before stamping on his face, crushing it instantly, blood, as well as many unmentionables oozing from every orithis. His death was swift, his misery now ended.

Second Day of Training

The night before was now nothing but a memory, his torn clothing now but a remnant of times passed. Pulling down a sheet from atop his torso, he peered around the room. His own room, given to him upon his arrival at Otogakure. There was no decoration, it was simply a room with everything he could require, and nothing more. Food and a bed were pretty much all that cluttered the room, along with various pieces of clothing that were neatly folded in a corner. Wearing nothing but a shirt and underwear, Methias moved towards the pile, picking up a pair of white trousers, another shirt and his shoes before changing, and heading back out, this time towards a lake.

The water stood still, not a single disturbance other than ripples that were caused by the various wildlife that lived beneath the waters surface. The water was almost clear, fish being spotted with utmost ease. Jumping onto the liquid, Methias focused his Chakra to his feet, causing him to balance on the water, standing on it like he would on dry land. This took some training to achieve, but by this time he had mastered the art, and stood in the center, focusing as much as he could on the task at hand. He was still wearing the weights he had worn on the previous day, which made his training that extra bit more difficult.

Starting to run, Methias made sure he had to keep focusing Chakra to his feet as well as keeping enough force to not sink due to the added weight. This made something easy amazingly more difficult, but it had to be done. Easy training was like no training, and Methias wasn't the sort of person to take anything easily. Throwing himself up into the air, he landed once more, messing up and falling through waters surface.

Swimming to the grass beside the lake, he pulled himself up, his hair sticking to his face. With a face like thunder, he got out, and jumped back in for another try. Successfully landing this time, he began to run laps around the lake, his muscle's beginning to strain as well as his Chakra beginning to fade. However, no matter the cost he had to become stronger, otherwise he would never become a great Ninja.

After completing a lap of the Lake, Methias moved towards the center, water splashing behind him as he almost glided across the transparent liquid. Upon reaching the center, he stopped for a moment, letting the sunlight shine on him, drying his body as he did so. He had to continue his training, although by now it was getting dull and repetitive. Something different would be welcomed with open arms. His mind began to wonder, before he continued to focus on the important matters at hand, how he could make more out of his training.

(Intellect)

The solution was simple, he had to learn how to make more use of his Chakra. Mastering Chakra control would enable him to use less on such mundane tasks as water walking, and use it to empower his Jutsu's and physical attacks. To do this, he would have to learn and master how much Chakra was required for him to water walk to the exact percentage, although to even do this was a challenge in its own right. Focusing less Chakra to his feet was one of the main challenges, he had grown so use to using the amount he does now, that to focus less was almost unheard of. However, moments passed, his feet began to sink into the water. A little more Chakra focused to the feet was perfect. He had now learned the exact amount of Chakra needed to stand still on water, but this amount would change if he were to move. More on one foot, none of the other would give the biggest benifit, but Methias wasn't at this level quite yet, and decided to move onto the next part of his training.

(Dexterity)

Exiting the lake, he looked towards the forest once again. Such a place was a perfect area for training, even more so than a lake. Entering, he rummaged through a bag of his, placing targets at every which way in the wood cluttered area. After doing so, he activated the Byakugan (-5 Chakra, 45/50), his eyes noticing the circular targets all around him. Leaping into the air, he grasped hold of a bunch of Kunai that were residing in a pouch, throwing them in quick succession as his body gracefully flipped through the air. Seven Kunai, Seven targets. The first two missed their targets, penetrating the tree bark just beneath. The next three barely hit, entering the outside ring of the targets. The final two both pierced the Bullseye, which even managed to cause a slight shock within Methias, although it was rather pleasant. Landing as gracefully as he flew through the air, Methias proceeded to pick up the Kunai as to not waste them, before moving onto another task.

(Speed)

After doing the previous task, Methias put it upon himself to see how quickly he could cover a one hundred meter dash. His idea this time, however, was to enhance his speed by manipulating the Chakra in his legs to push out more rapidly. Such a task was perfect for a medical Ninja, although Methias wasn't trained in these arts just yet, and it was unlikely he would ever be. Focusing all that he could, he darted forwards, evading everything that blocked his path. Dodging tree after tree caused the sprint to become over twice as long, but it was good to test him to say the least. A short time later, he finished, passing the tree he designated as his finishing spot. Breathing deeply, he inhaled as much as he could to fill his lungs up with air, before sighing lightly. It looked to be around twelve o'clock now, and the sun was beating down with an incredible heat.

(Strength)

Sweat pouring off of his body, part due to exhaustion, part due to the immense heat, he found himself thinking about finishing his training early and taking the rest of the day off as rest. As he wiped his arm across his brow, he nodded to himself slightly. Just a few more minutes training would finish off a good days work. Still wearing the weights from earlier, Methas stretched lightly, before jumping up and down on the spot. By now, he couldn't even feel the weights on his body, and the jumping height returning to what it was before he had put the weights on. Pleased with that, he moved onto squats, repeating the same motions over one hundred times, before finishing off with fifty push ups. Finally complete, a rare smile brushed across his face. His training was complete for the day, as he made his way into the city of Otogakure for a well earned rest.

Rain. Little droplets of water gushing down from the blackened sky above the lands of Otogakure. Standing in a ruin, Methias had been training for around two weeks straight, and it was time to finally test the final outcome of his training thus far. Letting out a yawn, he removed the weights around his ankle's and wrists, as well as the one located within his shirt. Now barechested, he felt light, amazingly light. He could have literally flew, or atleast he felt he could. Closing his eye's, he pushed his arms forward, his hands making a diamond shape as they collided together.

His Byakugan activating as he opened his eye's, he peered around the ruined town (-5 Chakra, 45/50). The remnants of buildings sorrounded him, dummy's and targets placed within the ground and hiding in windows to offer the ultimate challenge. At this time, Methias' Byakugan could see up to around two-hundred meters around him, which allowed him to create a pre-emptive route around the area. Jumping on the spot, he leapt to new heights as he began his warmup. After a few jumps, he lunged forwards, striking the air with such force it could be heard colliding with the air. It wasn't loud, but it was there. A definate improvement.

In a pouch on his right, a bunch of Kunai were facing downwards for safe and quick accessability. He would need these on this obsticle course. Darting fowards, he began, his speed even taking him back to begin with. As he continued charging, he grabbed hold of several Kunai, throwing them through several windows, targets located within them. As they flew through, he continued running, his Byakugan noticing as they all struck their targets with upmost precision. He was improving, to say the least.

Next obsticle, a huge wall. Focusing Chakra to his feet, he leapt into the air, running up the wall like it was the floor itself. Rain was hitting his face at such a pace it almost felt painful, his body sharing the discomfort. Upon reaching the pinnacle, he pushed himself off of the wall, flipping through the air and throwing another Kunai into the final target, a dummy around fifty meters away, on the highest building. It pierced the head, target neutralized. A smirk growing on his face, Methias continued his run, his final goal in site.

This was another target, but unlike the other one, this was painted onto a thick wall, and not intended for Kunai. This target was simply to see how much his strength had increased during this time. Pushing as much energy as he could to his legs, he sped towards his current goal, a bunch of rocks and arrows shooting at him from all sides. These were set up by himself, in order to offer even more of a challenge on the final run. Ducking and weaving to dodge the incoming assault, he skillfully evaded every one of them, before thrusting his hand into the wall, three fingers penetrating it due to his use of Jyuuken.

Stepping backwards, the rain had suddenly come to a stop. His hand being removed from the wall, a smile grew on his face. He was stronger, stronger than he thought he would be after the amount of time he had been training. Although it was only on a physical level, he felt this would allow him to become even stronger as a ninja, which was the first thing he could be happy about after all these years. Water dripping from his hair, he walked over and collected the weights and clothing he left at the start, and headed home for another nights rest.
