Basic Training Topic

Shunsuu had already trained a lot of jutsu to prepare for the Chuunin Exams but he realised that he still needed work on the more physical aspects of training as well as basic ninja skills such as chakra control. The sun was bearing down its stringent light on the trees and on the ground, the warm temperature being perfect for training. Now it was the time to make use of it. He stretched his body, his neck, his arms and his legs, working those muscles and flexing them. There were several trees around the training area as well as a pond, he would make use of these obstacles for his training routine.

The set-up was simple, he would run towards the nearest tree, and then run up it using his chakra control before leaping to the next tree and running down. He had also placed several targets before-hand on the trees, which would allow him to practise his senbon and kunai throwing while he leapt to the other tree. Once down from the second tree, he would proceed to run over the pond, utilising his ability to walk over water and then mimic ducking a strike from a kunai before performing a sidekick.

After Shunsuu finished stretching, he prepared for the mini assault course. He made his mind clear with deep breaths, taking in the visual and audio information and processing it in his mind and as the wind stopped blowing, he took it as a cue from nature itself to begin his run. The bird's chirped as with each step he took, dust was kicked into the air, his biological beating forcing his body on. Bam. Stepping on the tree, he focused his chakra to his feet, allowing him to walk on it, as if glued to the surface. He ran quickly and as he got to the tall branches, he compressed the muscles of his left leg and took off in a leap towards the next tree.

He did not land altogether gracefully, but he landed as any ninja could with his chakra control stopping him from slipping or falling off on descent before throwing a volley of senbon into the targets. All of them hit the target area, while several hit bullseye. It was good enough accuracy for any potential Chuunin but without much thinking, he proceeded to his next task and ran down the trunk of the tree.

Next was the pool of water and he ran over it without losing pace as he quickly used his chakra control so as to stop his feet from forcing past the water tension. With resolute balance he then proceeded to stoop down in a duck as if someone had attempted to swipe him with a kunai and he quickly responded with a sidekick against his imaginary foe. Shunsuu was out of breath slightly but he jogged back to the starting point of the course to continue his training.
