Training VS Ayame Part 2

[Ayame]

Part 1
First training as a Genin

~"You are now a Genin... and as a Genin, you must improve those qualities that could become your faults if not trained. Turn your weaknesses into strenghts.."~

Ayame sure wouldn't forget those words that came from the man who tested her, so she could become a Genin if she had proven him her strenght and skills... however it was strange to think that this man would speak of faults.. as she had not showed any in the battle.. Perhaps he was quick to judge...

None-the-less, the kunoichi had decided to train herself, and if there was one thing that she wasn't so good at, it was taking hits. She had been more of a dodging type then a blocking type, and she had a strong hatred toward physical pain, and she couldn't understand how some poeple tryed to achieve something by receiving physical punishement.

Of course the girl hadn't fetched books for this training... since it wasn't a book that would strenghten your body, unless they were thrown at you multiple times, no. She sought help from Tanaka sensei, in order to prepare herself a training area proper to working her body to become stronguer and more resistant. And her first task was to prepare things for training, wich was enought training by itself..

Once the area was prepared... Ayame would begin to train.. and while she trained her body, she would also work on her taijutsu a little, in order to better her technique while training the endurance of her limbs and frame, as it seemed to be her first priority in all that training.. She knew that the next thing that needed training, would be her perception of her surrounding. Yet this could wait a little, after the benefical effects of having a healthy body that can take a punch or two.

The kunoichi wasn't much of a hard worker, she was more of a genius at work, since most of everything came to her naturally, she could easilly guess.. devise plans and find strategies. And it would prove somewhat harder to train to that point, but she wasn't going to let go.. and Wouldn't come back home but when it was time for bed, and left the coming morning. Until her training would be done.

Part 2
Perception, the ultimate tool

~"You must train... your perception, because if you can't see your opponents, you will fail at defending yourself against them.."~

Tanaka was right, if one couldn't see their opponents, they could certainly not defend against their attacks... and without a hint of perception... it would be difficult to find traps and defeat genjutsu. And since it was one of the lacking talents of Ayame, she would make sure to work on it, wich she would do by following a strict training..

The first part, in the mornings, would be to sit in the wilderness, in order to listen quietly to what was going arround her... the fall of the rain over the fauna and flora, the sound of cracking bolts of lightning arround. She would try to focus on things that happenned arround her.. trying to figure out the movement of the rain, as the wind pushed it arround, calculating things precisely to focus on the things that went on about her. As she had done when she had faced the Jounin examiner, calculating things was very helpful on a battlefield, and if you could do it with other senses then sight, then it would make things easier if a target couldn't be seen.

And of course for mornings where there wasn't any rain, she would find better ways to train her senses... And then came the middle of the day, wich Ayame would train with other Genins or academy students, asking them to work on their stealth while she would try to pinpoint their locations, not quite such a hard exercise, but with each passing moment her reaction time would get better, she would begin to calculate the movements of those that hid and would send things flying her way, wich helped her to gradually dodge more and more..

And of course, during the evening, She would move arround the hidden village, spying on poeple and listening in on their conversations, in a way to give herself as uch trouble doing it as she could, in order to force herself to get better at it. The training would seem easier then the first three days where she had trained her body in order to be able to take more hits and stay healthy, but in a way it was equally as challenging, considering it worked on an entire other rule then receiving blows and working to harden the muscles and bones of her limbs, and as the previous, it would also be an important value on the fail/succeed rate of a mission, she had to get better in order to face stronguer opponents... ones that wouldn't leave her as empty as the exam did..
