[Uzumaki Ataru]

He smiles in a chipper upbeat manner, feeling the strain in his legs even as they seek to celebrate in the wake of getting the jutsu down pat. Nodding his head gratefully to the Hatake as she praises the accomplishment he made and proceeds on to congratulate them on the time it took to learn such a thing. "Thank you, Shinde Sensei. I couldn't have done any of this without you!" It was true and such a thing was well understood by the young Uzumaki, if it weren't for her and everyone else within the village Ataru wouldn't be where he was today. So many people hand helped him over the lapse of these past few months, it truly helped the boy strive forward in seeking to reach the same heights and soar in his training.

It wasn't lost on the boy and he was grateful to her most of all, such came reflected within the tone of his words radiating a cool calmness combined alongside a genuine sincerity. Ever the straight less idiot of a pupil, determined and headstrong practically unto death in seeking to improve themselves and shatter their limits. Wanting to be better and serve on behalf of the village, slowly but surely the boy was making his dream come true and felt fulfilled in doing so. As for today, here and now he tides himself over in reaching this milestone. The Chuunin exams weren't too far off and this would prove quite helpful in the days ahead... "Hai, Sensei. I'll train every day and won't be letting up. No matter what!" The Uzumaki speaks with a remarkable sense of glee and elation, nodding as they bid each other farewell. With them both having other matters to attend to and see done over the day next up for him would be Lunch followed by another training session. Hopping and skipping away before slowing down and taking the time to walk things off.
