[Gima Naoya]

Naoya had been getting into the habit of changing into his gi and training kenjutsu when he came to the gardens; the last three or four times he came here he had done exactly that. So, when he showed up at his usual spot for some basic ninjutsu and control training, he had to fight the muscle memory to draw his weapon and begin practicing his forms. It made sense to come here though. It was quiet and distant from the usual spots for practicing techniques. And, as those shinobi that did frequent this more laid back area were typically of the same reserved temperament, there were rarely social conflicts or complaints.

Chakra control had always been a struggle for the young boy, his conflicting surplus of stamina always seeming to overpower any subtlety attempted in his techniques. While this was objectively a blessing, it made some things, in particular the basic academy techniques which required no great reserves, a real challenge. He placed his bag down at the base of a large willow tree as he set up close to the water.

Of all the techniques that he struggled with most, none was as difficult to execute with precision than the substitution technique for Naoya. He always seemed to put too much chakra behind the movement and send himself flying, or he'd overcompensate and push precious little energy into his legs and end up hardly making the journey to whatever object he needed to use to actually execute the technique. That in and of itself, the whole grabbing of a substitute thing-- y'know the whole namesake of the technique, was especially rough.

He checked to make sure he had plenty of space before forming some quick seals. He spotted a very reasonably sized log near him and made it his initial target. From there he just had to get wherever the hell 'away' was. In a flash he disappeared, his movement impressive for the power behind it... until he crashed over the log he meant to grab, slamming his face in the dirt.

Flooded with embarrassment, for a few moments he just laid there, praying nobody had seen that.

[attr=class,opunkibulkrule]He was getting close he could feel it. His chakra control had gotten better, but it wasn't perfect he just needed a final few more pushes. Shiori found himself learning more from the practical side of things and just using up his chakra till he was exhausted seemed to work well, but he needed to do this in more intense situations. Something that had stakes like a spar or something, but how and with whom? He could ask Uka again for some help, but he wanted to learn from other people instead of just the same person. So he decided he would find someone random to train with.

Now normally Shiori would go to the training yard or back alleys to do his training but today was a bit different. Heading towards the gardens he figured it would be a good idea to have a change of scenery and boy did it seem to be like a good idea for him. When arriving in the gardens he would find someone else there the perfect candidate to help with his training, but after watching for a second Shiori realized they were training themselves. He was about ready to announce his presence and wave them down when he noticed them stumbling over a log. "Are you ok?" Shiori would shout as he came running up to the other boy hoping he was injured.
