[attr="class","lightbluetext"]The sun was already high in the sky, casting long shadows across the Academy's training grounds. The air buzzed with the excitement and energy of young ninjas honing their skills, their shouts and the sounds of sparring echoing around the area.

Amidst this lively atmosphere stood Kiseki, her bright red eyes scanning the surroundings eagerly. She was smaller than some of her peers, but what she lacked in size, she made up for with her boundless enthusiasm and a wide, infectious smile.

Today was not just another ordinary day for her; it was the day she would be learning about the inner workings of taijutsu from none other than Raika Hyuga. Kiseki's heart raced with excitement and a bit of nervousness as she fiddled with the ribbons keeping her pigtails in place, trying to look her best for the older girl.

She had arrived early, as was her habit, and took the time to stretch, warming up her muscles while going over everything she knew about taijutsu in her mind. It was only the basics that they had taught them at the Academy, but she figured she should refresh up on the knowledge.

Kiseki was determined to make a good impression and absorb everything she could from the upcoming lessons. The young kunoichi imagined herself with a mastery of taijutsu skills, dodging and weaving with gracs, using her anatomy skills to deal maximum damage, dancing away before her opponent could react.

Her thoughts were filled with animated scenarios of future battles where she held her own with skill and confidence. She was excited to bring her imagination into fruition and couldn’t wait to get started with her training.

Despite her young age, Kiseki has sharpened her control of chakra to an art. She is able to shape the flow and manipulate the threads in complex ways and with extreme potency that allows her to perform difficult jutsu without wasting a single drop.

She knows that sometimes, less is more when it comes to jutsu. The talent with which she manipulates her energy allows her to stay on even grounds with those who have larger chakra pools, making it so she can continue to fight longer.


『Understanding Designs』
Wanting to be as effective and deadly as possible, Kiseki has trained herself to learn as much as she can about human anatomy. Her knowledge allows her to know the best places to strike, giving her an edge by being able to inflict the most damage with the least effort. She tries to utilize this knowledge with her skills so she can end fights quickly and efficiently.

Alternatively, while not on par with those who specialize in medicine, the kunoichi knows how a human body works and can heal as well as harm. Kiseki is capable of roughly setting bones with splints, stitching wounds, and has enough knowledge of the human body to know how to keep someone from dying from several types of wounds, varying from minor to moderate.

Raika was wearing her new orange coveralls today, since they were less bulky than her usual black one, but her outfit was more or less the same. Underneath, she still wore her usual cropped black tank top, though her coveralls were fully zipped up today. She had also left her new knuckledusters and her old Hung Gar rings at home, since she didn't think she would need them at all for teaching a young Academy Student about how to perform at Taijutsu. It might have been somewhat odd, since Hitomi was an Academy teacher and pretty successful with Taijutsu, but Raika had been no stranger to teaching the younger generation of shinobi. She liked to claim that she had a hand in improving Ataru in preparation for the Chuunin Exams, whom although performing well enough to receive high marks and praise from the Raikage, was not allowed to advance in rank due to his age and inexperience.

For now, she had a new student, at least for a day, and she needed to see just how much the Academy was training these days, or perhaps how much this young girl had retained. It was a little of interest to her that she was training an Uchiha in the skills needed for close quarters weaponless combat, and she wonders if this is also because of her previous training with her own teammate, Kai.

Her minds are whiplashed to the present when she realizes she's reached the Academy now, and she takes a deep breath, momentarily checking her own hair, still up in a close ponytail, with a bit hanging over the left side of her face today. Even her black combat boots are nice and clean, for now. As a member of the ANBU, she was now quite focused on her appearance, as she's representing not just the Hyuga clan or Konoha, but ANBU as well. With everything in place, she walks into the Academy training grounds to see the young girl in twintails, which matches the description she'd been told of her newest student.

"Ah! Hey there, Kiseki. I'll be showing you what I know of Taijutsu, but first..."

As she introduced herself, she'd pointed a thumb at herself, but now she pauses and turns her hand to point her finger at the Uchiha instead.

"You gotta show me what you know of Taijutsu! Give your biggest punch, right here."

Raika slaps her own stomach at this final sentence, and immediately flexes her abdominal muscles, making her body as hard as rock by sheer strength. She'd still be able to judge the force of the strike through whatever pain Kiseki might be able to inflict.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Kiseki's carmine eyes widened in excitement, a glint of determination shining within them as she processed Raika's challenge. Her smile broadened, and she took a moment to bounce on the balls of her feet, revving up her energy. Around them, the background noise of the Academy seemed to fade into a distant hum, focusing all her senses on the task at hand.

"Alright, Raika-sensei!" Kiseki chirped, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.

She adjusted her stance, lowering her center of gravity as she had been taught in the basic lessons, her hands curling into tight fists at her sides. She remembered the proper form, how to twist her body to channel more power into her punch.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, her right foot planted firmly on the ground as she twisted her hips. Driving her right fist forward with all the strength her small frame could muster, she whooshed the air around her fist, cutting a clear path toward Raika's waiting stomach.

As her fist connected, there was a thud of impact. Her eyes locked onto Raika's face for any sign of approval or critique. It probably wasn’t enough to do any actual damage to the chunin, she was still so small and slight, but Kiseki was hoping that it managed to do something at least.

The young Uchiha stood back after the punch. Her eyes were still sparkling with unspent energy and anticipation for what would come next in her lesson.

Despite their differences in strength, Raika herself tenses up as Kiseki prepares to punch, but she focuses the most on keeping her abdominal muscles firm and hard for the punch. The result might seem like it was actually nothing, since Raika's body doesn't even react to the strike at her midsection, but she still whistles with approval. She can feel a very small, very shallow soreness of a bruise from the contact, though it would likely clear up by tomorrow. Still, for an Academy Student, she thought it was clear that Kiseki had been training well and had a natural inclination for Taijutsu. Her face showed her own pleasure at this knowledge, as well as a bit of pride in this young Academy Student.

"Good hit! I won't waste time with the fundamentals, then, since you've clearly been able to keep up with it. The only thing I'll say is to always start any workout with just the fundamentals; the last thing you want to do as you grow stronger is to forget the basics."

With that bit of advice out of the way, Raika can begin with the somewhat more advanced training. She couldn't exactly teach the younger girl anything about the Gentle Fist techniques, like she might have done with Honno or with her cousin Tamiko, but she'd already learned many other styles of combat already, so she had quite a repertoire to draw from. She also wonders if Kiseki had some other knowledge that might make it easier to learn something similar to the Jyuuken; she'd seen the Kyusho fighting style once, from the same teacher that had taught her about the Chakra Scalpel technique, but that had been considered too inferior to the Gentle Fist by the other clan members when she'd shown interest in learning it.

For now, she should focus on what she knows she can teach the younger student, and that was the proper way to grow one's strength.

"Have you ever practiced using weights in order to increase the force your punches have? I think it might really help you out with your training in the use of Taijutsu. That's mostly how I managed to get through the Chuunin Exams."

Of course, she wasn't going to include that much of her success had to do with her taking on leadership roles during the exam; it had nothing to do at the moment with training this young Uchiha girl.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Kiseki's heart raced in excitement when Raika commended her punch. The encouragement from such an able person had spiked her confidence levels and also gave her extra determination to learn the art of taijutsu well. She nodded to the chunin’s words about basic things being important, even feeling proud that she had appreciated her effort.

"Yes, Raika-sensei! I make sure that I practice the basics all the time," she replied, determination-tinged in her voice. The mention of using weights was interesting to her; she had seen older ninjas training with them but never tried them herself because of her size and age.

She also had been apprehensive about using weights because she didn’t want to get too bulky, preferring the lean and agile build over a muscular one. But if Raika was suggesting that using weights would improve her abilities, Kiseki was all for it.

"No, I haven't tried using weights, but I would love to learn if you're offering!" the younger girl replied, her eyes gleaming at the idea of learning something new and possibly furthering her skills. She imagined her strikes strengthening each time she practiced with the weights.

She knew they probably kept extra training weights in the nearby storage shed. So, if they were going down this path of training, the two of them could easily grab a pair or two.

"Would you mind showing me how to start? I would like to make sure that I am doing it right and safe," she added, demonstrating her keenness to learn and understand the liability attached to such training.

Raika nods in understanding when she says that she'd never thought about using weights. Most of the Academy Students didn't really do much more than the appropriate amount of calisthenics and cardio, keeping themselves limber and quick rather than building up their strength. Not that Raika was going to start the girl on anything particularly heavy. Just a couple dozen pounds, spread out across her entire body to slow her down, should be enough that once she takes the extra weight off, she'll actually be moving a bit faster. Of course, the poor girl wouldn't be able to wear the weights all day, not until after she's finished growing. But she could get her used to the idea of weight training.

"If they're practice weights, they'll be perfect for you! Let's see them, then, and I can get you used to the idea of weight training for a couple hours a day."

When she asks to be taught how to use them, she somewhat wishes she still had her Hung Gar rings, but the ones she has at the moment would be far too much weight for the poor girl and likely dislocate one of her poor arms. Regardless of how strong such a small girl was, that was far too much weight for her. So she'd have to figure out a different method, and she grabs up a jump rope kept nearby for some aerobics training. She had a different use in mind for it, however, and she instead ties both ends around a pair of the smaller weights, before she wraps the jump rope around the girl's waist, and then her shoulders, and back to her waist to make it firm enough to stay attached to her, but easy enough to remove once she wants to. Raika moves the weights around like they're nothing more than a few ounces, but they were indeed dozens of pounds of weight, pulling down on Kiseki's small body.

"Now when you practice the basics, you'll feel this extra weight. It shouldn't be too much, so you'll still grow tall, and we'll start you off with only a couple hours. By the time you finish your growth spurts, you'll be quick and strong!"

It wasn't quite the same as her own training had been, but her own training had also involved fighting for her life, and that wasn't exactly something she expected anyone to go through.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Kiseki nodded excitedly as Raika explained the idea of using weights in training. It made sense to her that adding extra resistance could improve her speed and strength once the weights were removed. Eager to try it, she followed Raika to where the equipment was stored, listening intently to her instructions.

As the older shinobi skillfully fitted the weights around her body using the jump rope, Kiseki felt the additional heaviness settle into her frame. It was a strange sensation, making her body feel sluggish. She could see how this, if she managed to become used to it, could help her become faster and stronger in the long run.

She moved experimentally, feeling the weights shift and pull against her movements, adding a new difficulty level to simple actions. She smiled at Raika, appreciating the new challenge.

"This feels weird but good," Kiseki said, her voice filled with determination. "I'll practice with them every day, just like you said."

Energized by the thought of improving, she glanced at the training grounds, where others continued their routines. Now, they seemed like a backdrop to her own training session with Raika. She turned back to the chunin, ready to start.

"What should we work on first? Basic movements, or should I try something more complex to see how the weights affect my technique?" she asked, ready to dive into whatever challenge Raika thought best for her first lesson in weighted training. Her eyes sparkled with eagerness, and her stance shifted subtly, preparing her body to move at Raika's command.

Something about this young Uchiha definitely reminded Raika of herself at that age, although she herself had nearly had this same excitable nature driven from her by the intensely emotionally reserved nature of her parents and some of the more traditional members of the Hyuga clan. Raika herself is ready to give the younger generation of kunoichi a drive to succeed while keeping this enthusiastic outlook alive. For now, she has to focus on just training this Academy Student in front of her, and she's being asked if they should work on doing the work on basic movements or if they should get to the more advanced techniques right away. She smirks a little at the Uchiha and shakes her head, then gives her the schedule.

"We'll run through movement drills first. That's gonna give you the best results quickly. Just so long as you keep in mind that we're only going to do a couple hours of this weight training max. You can do them for longer as you get older, until you're a Genin and wearing the weights all day long, instead of just training in them."

With this explanation and a bit of warning about how long she should actually be doing the weight training, she gestures to the rest of the training field to bring Kiseki's attention to the others, who seem to be doing various different kinds of training.

"Five laps around the outside of the training ground should be enough to get you warmed up, and then we can do some agility training. That'll give you the most benefit from the extra weight!"

Raika throws down a rubber kunai with enough force to make the rubber tip stick into the ground, showing the starting and ending point for Kiseki before she gets down into a ready stance to prepare for the run.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Kiseki absorbed Raika's instructions with keen focus, nodding along as she listened. She understood the importance of starting with the basics, especially when incorporating something new like weighted training. Her determination only seemed to grow as Raika outlined the plan for their session.

"Got it, Raika-sensei! Five laps around the training ground, then agility training," Kiseki confirmed eagerly, eyes shining with eagerness.

She inhaled deeply, drawing in the crisp air. And then, with a sudden surge of determination, she propelled herself forward, her strides purposeful and resolute. The added weight pressed against her muscles. She welcomed the strain, embracing it as a necessary part of her journey towards growth.

As her feet pounded against the ground, she concentrated on maintaining her form, each movement calculated and precise. With every step, she could feel the resistance of the weights, a reminder of the effort required to move forward. But she refused to be deterred, pushing through the discomfort with unwavering resolve.

In the rhythm of her run, she found a sense of harmony, a connection between mind and body that propelled her onward. Each breath synchronized with her movements, fueling her with the energy she needed to persevere.

And as she continued to run, she knew that every stride brought her closer to her goal. The shouts and sounds of training faded into the background as she focused solely on her own movements, determined to make the most of this opportunity to improve.

With each lap completed, Kiseki felt a sense of accomplishment. When she reached the finish line, her breath came in steady gasps. She felt that she was ready to tackle whatever challenge awaited her.

"Ready for the next step, Raika-sensei!" she called out, her voice filled with excitement and determination.

Despite her young age, Kiseki has sharpened her control of chakra to an art. She is able to shape the flow and manipulate the threads in complex ways and with extreme potency that allows her to perform difficult jutsu without wasting a single drop.

She knows that sometimes, less is more when it comes to jutsu. The talent with which she manipulates her energy allows her to stay on even grounds with those who have larger chakra pools, making it so she can continue to fight longer.


『Understanding Designs』
Wanting to be as effective and deadly as possible, Kiseki has trained herself to learn as much as she can about human anatomy. Her knowledge allows her to know the best places to strike, giving her an edge by being able to inflict the most damage with the least effort. She tries to utilize this knowledge with her skills so she can end fights quickly and efficiently.

Alternatively, while not on par with those who specialize in medicine, the kunoichi knows how a human body works and can heal as well as harm. Kiseki is capable of roughly setting bones with splints, stitching wounds, and has enough knowledge of the human body to know how to keep someone from dying from several types of wounds, varying from minor to moderate.

Raika watches the younger girl with a keen interest. It had been the first student she'd trained since she'd helped Tamiko with learning how to use the Byakugan without overly taxing her chakra reserves, and she wanted to see just how this was going. She remembers Ataru, who'd actually needed more help with the basics, rather than how Kiseki seemed to have a decent understanding of the remedial Taijutsu training. It seems like she needed that warmup, as her body becomes somewhat accustomed to the additional weight that the training weights put on her body. After that fifth lap, she seems even more excited, and she has to wonder for a moment if this child will someday outpace her. But she puts the thought out of her head for now, so she can focus on the agility training.

"All right, then it's time for the next one! Back-and-forths!"

She points to four sets of kunai on the ground in a straight line, moving herself over to stand next to the nearest one.

"Forward, then back to the beginning, then forward two, back one, forward two, back one... I'll demonstrate."

She rushes forwards to the second kunai, stops, and shuffles her feet to rush backwards until she's next to the first kunai, then rushes forwards again. She does the same stop and shuffle backwards each time she moves backwards, then drops forwards into a sprinting run forwards again each time. Once she's done, she returns to the first, smiling a bit at the workout, but ready to give one last instruction.

"You'll run through this three times. But keep your eyes and your face forwards; watch for the kunai in your peripheral instead of looking down to see where you are. You don't want to learn to look down at the ground while you're trying to be agile!~"

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Kiseki watched Raika demonstrate the agility drill, her eyes intently following the older kunoichi's movements. She absorbed each detail, from the precision of her stops to the quick shuffling of her feet, understanding the importance of maintaining awareness while in motion. The added challenge of not looking down also stoked the girl's competitive nature, and she was eager to prove herself.

She gave a determined nod and positioned herself at the starting line.

As she prepared to begin, Kiseki felt the weight of the training gear pulling against her, a constant reminder of the challenge she had accepted. Yet, her spirit was undeterred. She focused on the path ahead, visualizing her movements before she made them.

With a deep breath, she launched into action. Her steps were deliberate and quick, driving her forward to the first kunai. Upon reaching it, she executed a sharp stop, kicking up a cloud of dust, turning quickly on her toes before sprinting back to the start.

Like she was told, Kiseki kept her focus razor-sharp and forward, her peripheral vision catching glimpses of the kunai markers as she navigated the drill. Her breathing was controlled, each exhale timed with her steps to maximize her stamina. Despite the challenge, she moved with a grace that belied her age, her body adapting to the weights with surprising ease.

After completing the drill three times, Kiseki slowed to a stop at the starting point, her chest heaving with exertion but her face alight with the exhilaration of success. She felt a rush of pride swell within her, even as she bent in half, hands bracing on her knees.

"Did I do okay, Raika-sensei?" she asked, breathless voice eager for feedback. Even as the gear weighed down on her, making it feel like each movement took double the effort, she still tried to put up an enthusiastic front.

Raika smiles with pride when she sees Kiseki performing the agility drill just as she'd ordered, then continues with the agility drill another two times before she ends again at the starting point, breathing heavily and clearly exhausted from the exertion, but still ready to continue with the training. For now, though, she just wants Kiseki to see that the benefits of weight training can come rather quickly after becoming accustomed to the additional weight.

"You did better than okay! You did great, kiddo. Now hold still..."

With that, Raika unstraps the weights from around the younger girl's body, allowing them to drop to the ground with little puffs of dirt as Raika unwraps the jumping rope from around her so that she's fully freed from the weights. Then she points out the kunai again.

"Now do the drill one last time with the weights off! I want you to see the results, before your body recovers from the weights."

She remembers her first time using weights for training, and how they had made her feel almost light as a feather when she'd been done. She'd still started her weight training much older than Kiseki, which was why she wasn't looking to try and get Kiseki to use them all day long, and only use them during training for now. Raika didn't want to hurt the Uchiha's growth by providing her little body with more weight than it can handle, but she's certain if she does this weight training only when she's doing physical exertion, it should lessen the effects while still giving her plenty of extra strength or mobility. It all depends on what she's training when she's doing the weight training, of course.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Feeling lighter without the weights, Kiseki bounced on the balls of her feet in anticipation. Although she was still tired from the earlier strain, her entire body felt strangely buoyant. She grinned at Raika, nodding to signal her readiness.

Positioned at the starting point once more, Kiseki took a deep breath, her body teeming with newfound energy. As Raika signaled the start, she burst forward with a speed that surprised even herself. She expected herself to be moving slower than ever because of how her limbs ached, but she was moving just as fast as she was before the weights had been put on. And each step felt smoother, each movement more fluid than before.

She zipped from marker to marker, feeling as though her feet were barely touching the ground. The absence of the weights made her feel as though she was speedier than ever, her body responding with ease and grace to her commands. Her focus remained sharp, her eyes fixed ahead, using her peripheral vision to guide her movements.

After completing the drill with exhilarating speed, Kiseki skidded to a halt at the starting point kicking up a cloud of dust, a wide smile spreading across her face. She looked at Raika, her eyes glittering with excitement.

"Raika-sensei, that felt amazing!" she exclaimed.

The feeling of lightness was empowering, giving Kiseki a glimpse of what she could be like if she continued to train. She felt a rush of gratitude towards Raika for introducing her to this training method, realizing how pivotal this lesson could be in her development as a shinobi. Her body still buzzed with energy but her limbs ached at an almost unbearable level, and she was keen to learn and absorb as much as she could from her skilled mentor, but she wasn’t sure how much more weight training she could take.

Raika sighs with delight when she sees just how much Kiseki is enjoying herself after some basic training with the weights, but she can also see that she's tired out, which is an extremely rare situation for a young teen like this. She decides already that this is more than enough training for the entire day, and so when she tells her that it felt amazing, she nods enthusiastically, but she also tempers herself from trying to start any other additional training, as much as she does enjoy doing that.

She picks the weights back up, but she leaves behind the jumping rope; obviously, she couldn't get the girl to wear a jump rope like that in addition to the weights, so she'd have to figure out a harness for her to wear. She'd still be too young to wear the Hung Gar rings, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be wearing them later, when she's older and more prepared for their use. Right now, she could stick to using them only during training.

"Good! That means you'll train more with it in the future."

She could practically feel Kiseki's desire to train more with her, but she also remembers how her own training started with weights, and she could empathize with how worn out she probably feels now.

"But today, we're done with training. Make sure to keep up with your education, too!"

Raika smiles brightly down at the young Uchiha, bringing her hand low for a low-five, and whether or not she gives her the five, she lets Kiseki make her choice, and then waves goodbye behind herself as she turns and walks away, knowing that she herself is going to be busy for a while with her continued training among the ANBU Black Ops, though she obviously can't be open about her work.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Kiseki eagerly returned the low-five, her enthusiasm undimmed by the fatigue that was settling in her muscles. The smile on her face was bright and grateful as she watched Raika walk away, feeling inspired by the day's training.

She stood there for a moment longer, taking in the lessons and the sensations of her newly discovered strengths and capabilities. Kiseki knew that this was just the beginning of her journey in mastering taijutsu, and the thought filled her with a thrilling anticipation for what was to come.

With her heart still racing from the excitement and her body aching pleasantly from the exertion, Kiseki finally turned towards the Academy building. Her steps were light, almost skipping, as she made her way back to continue her studies, already planning how she would incorporate weight training into her daily routine. She would have to have her father get her some top quality weights.

As the training ground faded behind her, Kiseki was already imagining her next training session, her mind buzzing with ideas. She knew that with hard work and dedication, she could achieve great things, and Raika's training had opened a new door for her to explore her potential.

Today had been a defining moment in her young career, and Kiseki was eager to see where this new path would take her.
