    The past few weeks had been rigorous as all hell, but Kudo could have sworn that she was starting to see the results with the weight training. She’d really been stepping it up with her morning exercises, keeping a couple of dumbbells under her bed and in other frequented spots for small sessions to keep her muscles active. Hitting the training grounds once more she did a few comfortable laps before jumping into the whole circuit she had planned, along with some light Taijutsu training with a clone as a final exercise. Round and round Kudo went, her mind abuzz with the thought of finally obtaining some real Taijutsu practice in a few days time. What had spurred this sudden increase in the intensity of her workouts was the tutorship she was going to receive from a higher ranked shinobi who she had trained with recently. Keeping her mind distracted helped to complete each station of this circuit, creating what she needed on the go with the stone around her and a trickle of chakra. Half way through and then its a day. Just take the clone down quickly and you can go home. I got this.

    The second half of the circuit proved to slow things down as they often did, her muscles screaming in protest as she labored through each set. Kudo’s face was pink with strain as she scrunched her stomach and finished the last sit up. Standing up was a pain with her sore abs but it got her closer to the end, running one more lap before continuing on. She was curious what sort of pointers Shuichi would bring to the table, last time they had seen each other Kudo had sent his clone flying with the tricky Futon integration with her Taijutsu. She was particularly excited to continue messing around with that partnership, it felt like there was something there that could work well with her style. This recent obsession with training had done wonders for Kudo’s confidence, where before she was timid and unsure of herself this newfound power helped to fuel a more certain Kudo who felt far less shy than her usual self. The last lap before the final station came to its end, hands planted to knees as she caught her breath before dropping to the ground and struggling through her push-ups. Once they were complete she lay on the ground a while longer, her panting chest slowing as she finally calmed her breathing after the intense session.

    Just one more fight with a clone, then Kudo would be able to call it a day. Forming the clone seal she created an equally ragged looking duplication looking back at her with a lazy gaze. Growling Kudo would lunge at her clone, bringing her knee up to bash her and attempt to continue it with a flurry of strikes. Clumsy as she may look, the clone was still able to deflect the knee jab and counter with their own; a desperate headbutt that cut off the original’s plan as she took the hit. Falling into one another the two scraped before separating and putting some distance between them. An idea coming to mind Kudo formed an additional clone, jumping up into the air as the clone weaved hand seals in preparation to support its creator. At the apex of her jump Kudo positioned her feet on to the clone's raised palms, expelling a gust of wind that propelled Kudo forward with her fist outstretched to deliver a single powerful punch. While the clone saw it coming they were still unprepared with the speed Kudo reached and the punch knocked the clone to the ground, smoke signaling the end to this dual and the final touch to her training session.

    Realizing she could have worked on this technique ages ago, Kudo went to the training grounds to have a marathon of hand to hand practice. It had finally come time to get a grip on this fighting style, tomorrow was when she was set to practice with her comrade she had practiced with a while back. Today’s style was a simple and slow one, or at least deliberate with its powerful strikes that she was now able to pack with far more oomph than before. Her training had finally paid off, her muscles now sizably growing in size as a reward to the many earlier morning and grueling circuits she had put herself through as of late. Slowly running forward she used the little effort it took to augment her strength to previously unimaginable heights. Launching a fist at the leftover stone wall her clenched hand pulverized the durable structure, sending chunks of it all over the yard as a small plume of smoke dissipated overhead.

    Continuing through with the motion she glided over to another low wall where she delivered a slow kick with her knee that blasted through its literal rock hard surface with even greater ease than the strike before. She was quickly seeing how ready she already was for this test, feeling almost sorry for her spar tomorrow with ol whoozit who’s name she had totally forgotten. She continued through and practiced the move several more times in the air, feeling the weight of the strike and appreciating the progress she had made. It felt good to finally see the results of her non-stop training, she decided she had earned a break for herself in the coming weeks and dedicated to slowly her roll when training on her own.

    This next one could be performed in a couple of different ways; from right in front of an opponent or adding the added momentum behind a running start to make the shoulder charge all the more devastating. She decided to start with the former, preferring to build up rather than down. Moving towards another mostly-intact wall in the training field he buckled her shoulder and struck the wall. It was still able to crush through it, but she was anticipating the power of the blow with a running start. Eagerly looking around the field for the biggest and most intact leftover structure she could use she spotted an earthen dragon that hadn’t been returned to dirt and lay curled in a slumber until the field was cleared away. Charging the sleeping beast the grounds echoed with the sound of the strike, dispelling the dragon at once with an explosion of rock and stone.

    Moving on to the remnants of what she could use for practice that remained on the training field she approached a dilapidated wall and performed a simple palm thrust towards it. The defensive structure shattered instantly, dusting the stone at the point of impact with the force Kudo was now capable of pulling out. She marveled at her newfound strength, eager to continue testing its limits with structures and opponents mightier than leftover earth walls from practices past. These series of Taijutsu strikes would prove most useful in her coming spar, she wanted to ensure she brought all the knowledge her limited position afforded her. The shinobi she would be meeting with was a Jōnin and had access to higher ranked techniques along with the added years of added experience. She hoped herself to one day achieve such a station, a dream she didn’t have much aspiration for until recently.

    This final one for this set before taking a small breather was one that required the use of a clone to most easily practice. Creating a duplicate of herself Kudo ran towards them, the two engaging in a series of deliberate strikes that the other matched. After a series of parried blows the clone moved to strike with an upwards palm hit when Kudo went low to slam the earth at their feet with her own palm strike. Losing their footing, Kudo followed up from her already low position with an upward strike with her palm that sent the clone flying into the sky. The distance her strike was able to send the clone was astonishing, it felt like each exercise allowed her to flex new muscles she wasn’t aware she had. This swelling sense of pride in her work was overtaken by a growing sense to continue this path. Maybe then she could show her parents just how safe she would be and how they didn’t need to worry.

    Annoyingly the first technique on the docket to be learned today was one that required the assistance of a clone that was swiftly formed so she could get this first one over with. Standing apart form one another the two Kudo’s charged one another, engaging in a standstill of blows and parries with neither side getting an opportunity or chance to land a strike. Finally, Kudo went for a sliding kick, knocking the clone off their feet and allowing the original Kudo to recover and initiate the technique before the clone was able to respond. Grabbing the clone she threw them into the air, forming a quick Doton wall below her feet to help propel her into the air even further as she jumped once her foothold reached the height of its rise. Colliding with her clone, Kudo began wrapping their arms around the clone’s waist and wrapping her legs around their chest. Driving them into the ground the clone was easily and immediately defeated, the lethality of this move was quite apparent. She’d have to make sure she only used this in life or death scenarios, no need to send a sparring partner to the infirmary. Picking herself up she prepared for the more advanced forms of the Arphat Fist style.

    While a more advanced application, the basis for this next move was still incredibly simple. It was nothing more than a downward palm strike with added force compared to the last few techniques used. Kudo decided to make use of the Doton strewn training fields from what was surely a busy day earlier, she had made sure to plan these Taijutsu training sessions for later in the day for the free extra targets for his punches and kicks. Finding a small stump of a wall that looked like it was blown over by some other more powerful technique she stood over it and launched her palm down at it, reducing the already meager wall into nothing more than dust and pebbles. Raising her hand from the small cloud of dust that settled on the ground of the field by her feet she turned around and tested the move on another stumpy creation left behind, demolishing that with equal ferocity. Satisfied with the power put behind the technique she thought how useful the move could be as a follow up to knocking someone else with the shoulder charge technique. Just one more advanced Taijutsu move and she could move on to some techniques of her own creation she was excited to test out.

    Just as before this more advanced technique was really just increasing the potency of the basics from the styles origination, but she dredged forward all the same with a determination to move on to the next set of exercises. Eye’s ablaze with confidence she moved swiftly towards one of the more intact walls and blasted a hole through its center with a single devastating punch. Again she blasted her way through another wall, continuing the motion over and over until there were few suitable candidates to test her strength left standing on the field. Sadly there were no larger constructs left behind today for her to test out on, but she did have an idea for a field that was already in dire need of repair. Jumping up into the air, Kudo roared before slamming her fist down to the ground, obliterating the stoney surface as cracks shot out from the point of impact, the ground denting down into a small crater around her fist. Incredibly happy with the results she decided it was time to see just how far she had come after this upcoming Taijutsu test. She herself wasn’t sure of her own limits, a fact that both excited and frightened her with the devastating power she had displayed the potential for as of late.

    Finally, it was time to test the first personal techniques Kudo had thought up. Rushing to her bag she pulled out the notebook that she had written the ideas and expanded upon them in. Unraveling the scroll she laid it down on the ground before her, sitting down to be closer to it while forming the hand seals and releasing it for the first time. In the distance a lazy hand of earth rose from the ground, though it rose with the sloppiness of a failed attempt and she sighed with disappointment at the failure. It might have been unrealistic to expect a winner on the first go, but she had been on such a solid spree lately that she had become hopeful of nailing it right out of the gate. Forming the hand seals once more the earthen hand formed with more confidence and speed, still not the fastest thing in the world but it didn’t have the pathetic sluggishness as it had before. Expending another trickle of chakra another hand formed, gripping at the first as the two stone hands engaged in a hand wrestle of sorts, a gravely scraping sound was the only noise being made in the yard as they struggled against one another. Finally she released the technique, satisfied at its success and excited for the next application.

    Now applying the same concept on a smaller scale, Kudo formed the single hand sign as a smaller stone hand rose from the ground, moving about connected to the ground at its wrist. Expending another burst of chakra she created three additional hands, having them engage in a sort of melee against one another. Then, in the middle of the brawl she got an idea, quickly forming a clone beside her and having it face off against the group of stone hands. The clone rushed forward, stomping down and crushing one of the hands in an instant. The other hands dashed back, splitting up and relenting their only advantage of working together. The clone then distracted one more before moving on to the last two that had finally grouped up. While deflecting the punch of one of the hands the clone was grabbed by the other hand, though the clone was able to strip it off of them with ease and toss it across the yard before finishing off the second to last. Now just against a single hand was left as their opponent to which the clone easily won. Glad to see the limitations of this one, Kudo was still sure there could be some applicable use against those with less physical might. Finishing her training she headed home, happy with the days work.

    It had finally come time to don her new armor she recently had commissioned and test out the technique she’d thought up with it. Putting on the flowing robes and plates of armor Kudo made her way to the training fields once more, ready to test this new piece out and perhaps find a new limit that she needed to properly test. The armor had given her already inflated sense of confidence another boost, feeling quite ready to take on the world. Figuring it might be a fun idea to wear this to the Taijutsu training she had later this week she quickly dispelled the idea, not wanting to dilute the attention on Taijutsu with any Ninjutsu chicanery. Arriving at the training grounds early in hopes of finding it empty she was rewarded with silence and a freshly smoothed over field by the attendants. She figured she really wanted to volunteer here one day for all the work she’d given them, it’d be nice to help out those that were silently assisting her all this time. Sitting down in the field Kudo closed her eyes, slowly moulding her chakra into the windy element that had become a frequent act her body performed these days in training. Standing up she released a gale of wind chakra within her armor, the flaps whipping around and allowing her to get moving at quite an enhanced rate. Dashing across the field she barely kept herself from laughing, a big smile spreading across her lips as she attained speeds she never hoped to reach.

    Having tested the Petal’s Dance and seeing just how fast she could push herself, Kudo was absolutely certain she could reach an even further height. There was something about going that fast that was thrilling to the young kunoichi she hadn’t realized was within her. With this new fascination with Futon there was so much that could be accomplished, particularly when paired with her slow Doton mastery and hard-hitting physique she'd cultivated over the past few months. It was finally all coming together and she could feel it, the limits she saw the world with were being blown away one pillar at a time. Igniting the first dance Kudo got comfortable with that speed before squeezing even more juice into the jutsu. Tears began to stream from her eyes at the speed she was going, realizing some google wouldn’t be a bad idea especially how given she was to rocks and that tended to send bits of shrapnel about when destroyed. Unable to fully control herself she skid to a stop after clipping a left over wall, cursing herself for not moving quicker. With another test she tried pushing an extra gust of wind when turning to try and help and it worked to wondrous effect.

    No more would Kudo dally, after a hasty snack she went back to the training ground to see what she could accomplish if she applied all she’d learned. By doing so she hoped to identify the spots where she was most lacking and how best to apply herself to deal with those shortcomings. Activating the gust of wind to increase her speed and the added boost to that which she used to zip across the field with. Enacting the sensing technique she envisioned herself on a mission, outside of the village and surrounded by enemies. Her reserves should keep up for a while in this state, she thought it wouldn’t be too bad to test it out for a little while and see how she could keep up.

    After a couple of laps she began to smash through a couple of the left over walls before enacting her closer-quarters style and pulverized a particularly sturdy looking wall with a single punch. Happy with her results she deactivated her active Ninjutsu and returned to her normal speed, no longer on light feet with the rushing wind beneath. Her mock battle complete she was satisfied with how far she’d come, noting how unobtainable so much had been just a few months ago. Deactivating everything she went to her favorite food stand to slowly recover before hitting the market up and then finally passing out.
