Kenji's Secret Training (Jutsu, mental & Physical)

With the Chuunin exams so close, Kenji would move to the training fields. He hated physical training, but he knew that he needed to be more flexible to protect himself. He would wait for the cover of night. His Inton jutsu's would help greatly, and if he was creative with his shadow possession he might be able to cheat if there's any paperwork. However, he was weak in taijutsu and kenjutsu. And he knew this.

The obstacle courses was an obvious start. Helping Kenjutsuists learn how to wield their weapons with grace and ease. But that wasn't his purpose for now. He was going to train in dodging the swinging obstacles. Each pass of the counterweights would come close to Kenji. Trying to knock him off. And as the night grew, they would knock him off the beam countless times. However, he would have to get back on the beam. He needed to get better at defending himself.

Unknown to him, his mother watched. She didn't say anything but held a manual for Kenjutsu. Perhaps waiting for her son to show interest in it or as now, forced to take action to prepare himself. She would smirk as Kenji was knocked off the beam. His silent cursing hasn't gone unnoticed by her. Partly because she could read lips. Never the less, she would keep an eye on her son's training.

It wasn't till the early morning sunlight that Kenji that he stopped his training. Panting from the strain of his training and the countless bruises under his clothing, didn't help him relax. When his mother would show herself, Kenji would quickly arm himself, but after a moment, he would put his kunai away. "Hey, mother," he would call out to her as he relaxed as best he could. She wouldn't answer him, but instead tossed the training manual into his lap. "Get started," was all she would say before she left once more.

This confused him, but she was his mother, and like any mother, she was to be respected. Taking the book in hand, he would shrug for now and hop up on the beam once more. The book being placed inside his coat before trying one last time to get across and work on his dexterity. Though this time would be his last for the morning. A pillar smacking him square in the face, knocking him out for his morning nap.

Try and give me some more rp, detail and even kenji's thoughts and motivations can easily add a couple of paragraphs to it.

At this time this was simply too quick of a read, felt like it was training for trainings sake. Give the rp another shot, feel free to poke me if you need further pointers.

The moon was on the rise, much to Kenji's disappointment. A rising moon meant people might see him if they're doing survival training, but he couldn't let that stop him. He needed an ace in the hole. A surprise. Though at the moment, he wasn't given clearance to use one B rank. The rumors about the Chuunin exams has him on edge. Though he put that to the back of his mind. He has work to do.

He reviewed his research once more. Realizing that he could clone his weapons early on when he figured the Hedge jutsu could transform him into a weapon through the clan's combat reports. A crude idea, but seemed to work all the same. He started simple, his hand signs a mixture of Inton and clone jutsu's. A flicker started, but in the end didn't produce results. Save for a minor cut on his target where the potential weapons would've been.

"This is interesting," He thought as he examined it. Jotting down notes in his report scroll, he tried again. This time producing a single additional kunai. It vanished as soon as it hit the target, but it showed that it was possible to shadow clone weapons. Though something was still wrong. Could it be the hand signs. The chakra control was about perfect given Kenji's attunement to his chakra network. Various theories popped in his head and he decided to alter the hand signs a bit.

This produced more positive results. Two, three, and eventually four additional kunai's would hit the target with every attempt. It was impressive just how strong this jutsu had the potential in being but it still drains a lot of chakra to use with every throw. Too much for an Academy student to handle, that's for sure. Genin of the Nara clan might be able to do it with a bit of ease, but this wasn't something to ponder now. That was for the clan elders and the Hokage to decide. His duty was to create, use, and report.

He would practice the jutsu for several more hours till he thought he heard someone enter the training fields. Recovering his weapons, he would leap into the trees. The only evidence he was there was targets with countless holes in them. He remained still for now. Once sure of his safety he would open the scroll in his hiding place and review his notes. It was an interesting jutsu in deed. Though it felt more like he was taking from his pouch rather than producing actual clones. Could it be that his jutsu took them from his pouch and replaced them? Or was that just a trick of his mind? One couldn't be sure for now. What can be sure is that he needed to finish his research into his set of jutsu's before his clan allowed him to work on his own signature jutsu's. The ones that will earn him his ninja title.
