==11/22/2014 - Nosa's First Training Session==
JusticeAndPunishment: ~The late morning was pretty calm with a slight shower streaming upon the Amegakure village, the industrial metropolis among the other shinobi settlements within the nations upon the continent. Earlier dawn, Tetsuo decided to train with Nosa at the grounds so they did some exercises within sunrise by doing simple warmups together. They then had a steady walk through the village so that they can conserve their energy for the training, the conversation going back and forth on recent events. He brought up on how he was putting up with a depression given to some of his friends being gone and how he avoided doing missions by sticking to training and studying. He wasn’t much of himself at that time until he had the courage to volunteer at the village hospital where he helped heal a new Genin named Kagyua Fumetsu and an Uchiha by the name of Fumiko. It was a rare treat to meet a Uchiha after all. The walk remained steady as the pair reached the training grounds and Tetsuo kept close to Nosa’s side during the walk. He didn’t need his poncho or any of his weapons so he only had his training attire on which consisted of a white tunic with the Hyuga clan emblem embroidered on the back and tied with a black sash while worn over a netted shirt, black pants with two additional embroidered emblems along the sides, black shinobi shoes and his forehead protector. He was therefore naked as his kunai and shuriken pouches are empty as he knew that Nosa was not yet prepared and that she wanted training to learn. They reached the grounds and passed under the archway leading toward the courtyard which was covered with grass and a fountain in the center of the area, the old tree that managed to keep standing despite the roughness it had taken from past fights, training dummies along one side of the field and a veranda overlooking the entire expanse of the grounds. The rain continued to progress gently as he allowed Nosa to explain what she wanted help on, keeping quiet until she gave the full explanation of what she needed.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: -The morning was quite eventful as she and Tetsuo did some warmups to get them started for the day and later on they were headed towards the training grounds,on the walk Tetsuo brought up on he was putting up with some depression due to the fact of losses of close friends and also how he would skip out on mssions to either train or study, he wasn't being himself during those it seemed,that is until he had the courage to help out an Uchiha by the name of Fumiko,all this she had listened to carfully and with intrest as they continued to walk on she had also noticed that he didn't have any of his weapons on him which she was kinda happy about noting that she didn't have any of her own...yet and was in his training attire,Nosa was in her usual attire a purple hakama top with an opening that is covered with a bandage top,a purple-and-grey hakama pants held with a grey belt,and black kunoichi sandals.Finally they reached the training grounds,as they passed through the the opening memories of the spar between her and the Inuzuka, which wasn't that bad considering it was her first spar then she turned towards Tetsuo and started to speak-Well Tetsuo,I'm not sure if you can help me on this but I want to get better on endurance and speed-she said as she scratched the back of her head nervously-
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo looked upon Nosa as she started to speak to him about how she needed help on improving her endurance and speed but to Tetsuo there was no problem on helping out with it. Seeing how many of the shinobis and kunoichis were trained it was important to have good agility and stamina especially for quick evasion and moving from one location to the next.~ “Well, first we’ll need to start off with how you are in current ability. What I want you to do is try running four laps around along the walls but stay on the stone path as you run at the best of your ability.” ~Tetsuo pointed out to there the entrance of the ground was so that Nosa could have a starting point and then saw the grass near the walls of the grounds which line up along the walking paths which also circle around the area. The idea was to use the walking paths as the running track so that Nosa could have a flat surface to run upon and not have to worry of slipping since the grass may be slick and cause her to slip and slide. The stones were flat as opposed to normal rounded ones so the attempt to run will be less hazardous unless Nosa could lose her footing during the run. The length seemed to be a quarter mile in length so doing four laps could equal to more or less one full mile altogether. Tetsuo then let Nosa warm up before she took off and waited for her to start her run, keeping quiet so she could concentrate and start off this task.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: -Nosa listened to the directions that Tetsuo gave her, which was to run around the training grounds four times but to keep on the stone path at the best ability,she wondered when was the last she had run for a distance before she got tired, but turned her attention towards him once more as he directed her where to start after he had finished she nodded her head in acknowledgement as she started to run in place and strech for a while and headed for the entrance of the training grounds and started to run as fast as she could. After a while she was on her third lap and was starting to lose her breath but she pushed herself so when she got the entrance once she pushed herself even more but it seems like she missed a step and she tripped,hoping that Tetsuo hjad not seen anything she brushed herself off and started back up once more pushing herself all the more before finally reaching the entrance of the grounds for the last time and heading towards Tetsuo breathing heavily, waiting for further instructions-
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo observed as he let Nosa start off with warming up and stretching out before she took her starting point at the archway for the training grounds. He watched her begin her one mile run at a steady pace as it seemed as if she was doing well on the first stretch of the run without a hint of fatigue. This seemed like fair progress to Tetsuo as he kept watching, accessing Nosa as she kept moving along the stone path. It was around the third lap that he saw Nosa beginning to become exhausted but it was clear that she was pushing herself despite the fatigue kicking upon her as he saw how heavy she was breathing hard from where he was positioned at near the fountain in the center of the grounds. It could be seen that Nosa was indeed in need of an improvement on her endurance from this final observation and as she approached him he helped her sit down at the edge of the fountain he was standing near he sat beside her and helped her keep her head up so that the airways in Nosa’s neck are open so she could catch her breath again. It was time to get to work.~ “Nosa-chan, we’re gonna start out by gradually building up your stamina. At this point you did give your best effort but you need to exceed it. Now, as soon as you recover we’ll start doing another run but this time we’ll be doing intervals. The idea is that we’re going to run together on the same stretch of path while doing jogging on the short lengths and sprinting on the longer parts with me as your pacer so you can try keeping up with my running. Right now, take a break for a few minutes.” ~After saying so Tetsuo softly rubbed Nosa’s shoulders while she took her time to breathe naturally again. He cared for her and was in love with her so he felt he should at least have her excel and reach her highest potential as a kunoichi.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: -Happy he didn't see her trip she gratefully took the chance to catch her breath and listen to the instructions he was giving,which included more running but this using him as a pacer see if she would be able to catch up to him or not,Nosa was determined to get through this and wanted to show Tetsuo that she wanted to improve her skills,when she felt hands on her shoulders she immediately flinched and blushed before turning towards him-'It's ok,you don't need to do that,Tetsu-kun I'm fine now let's get started" -she said with a grin-
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo guided Nosa to the designated starting point he chose, an intersection just near a sakura tree yards from the fountain in the center of the grounds. The ideas was to have a starting point for Nosa as he paced her and that she could be aware.~ “Here’s the plan. The short sidewalks for be for jogging and then we’ll sprint together at full speed with everything we have on the longer lengths. The intent is to build up stamina and finish the long paths as quickly as possible while the jogs allow us time to catch our breath. This will be a good workout for both of us as I intend to improve my own stamina in the process.” ~He smiled after saying, the intent now shown as he stood ready in the middle of the intersection. Tetsuo then entered a starting position with his right leg out and his left leg positioned behind his body as if in a standing position for a basic offensive stance for kenjutsu with his knees loose enough to where he could lift them off the ground when he started to run. He swung his arms up and down and shook them out a bit to make them limber while he gestured Nosa to take the spot to his left side so that she could turn upon the corners.~ “On three, we take off at a nice light jog since this is only half of the length. We’ll go counterclockwise around this area as many times as possible. Be sure that your breathing is steady and that you start with in through your nose and out of your mouth. Okay?” ~He reached over and softly stroke one of her cheeks as he waited for her to respond. After that, he counted off.~ “One… Two… THREE!!!” ~Tetsuo started the jog and continuously watched Nosa by turning his head every few seconds to be sure that she stayed close by. He kept the gentle pace even as he turned at the first corner and continued on through the short stretch on the path. When the longer stretch on the other side came up, he pushed hard with the knees in his legs being lifted and the heels of his feet hitting the ground before his toes with his arms swinging furiously to propel himself faster and further. His breathing was to be very fast pace as he was heaving in breaths through his nose and out his mouth as if being a steam engine. He did not wait up for Nosa as he did so but once he got to the next short path on the next turn he jogged and started to catch his breath.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: -Nosa was now more then ever determined to prove herself to Tetsuo, as she knew that he was probably faster than her, but she put that thought aside for the moment right now she had to focus on her assignment which was to use Tetsuo as a pacer as they were to sprint and jog around the training grounds for as long as they can, so as she was guided to their starting point, a sakura tree that was yards away from the fountain located in the center of the training grounds as she listened carefully to the instructions given to her by Tetsuo “ Here’s the plan. The short sidewalks for be for jogging and then we’ll sprint together at full speed with everything we have on the longer lengths. The intent is to build up stamina and finish the long paths as quickly as possible while the jogs allow us time to catch our breath. This will be a good workout for both of us as I intend to improve my own stamina in the process.” so with that he smiled and got in a stance with his right leg jutting out in front of him and his left jutting out behind , bent slightly as if getting ready to pounce on something then he motioned for her to accompany him on his left side and so she did copying the same stance he was in “On three, we take off at a nice light jog since this is only half of the length. We’ll go counterclockwise around this area as many times as possible. Be sure that your breathing is steady and that you start with in through your nose and out of your mouth. Okay?” then he gently stroked her cheek as she smiled slightly and nodded her head and as he counted to three she readied herself and when he got to three she jogged just enough to catch up to him remebering to breath in through her nose and out through her mouth, then the longer path appeared she ran and pumped her legs as fast she she could to catch up with Tetsuo after a while the short path arrived once more she jogged once more catching her breath-
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo continued his course, steady breathing pushing through his airways while on the jogging parts and heavier faster breathing upon his sprints. He never stopped or slowed down, encouraging Nosa to push herself even to the point of exhaustion. He did this for four full laps, totaling up for a full mile and he was winded by the time he was finished up. With his usual training he was able to cope with cardiovascular stress but maybe he was overdoing himself so Nosa could push herself. Indeed he saw this as training for himself too to build up his own stamina and he was not going to stop until Nosa felt she could not move any further. The final lap ended with Tetsuo stopping at the starting point and he did a light walk toward the fountain at the center of the grounds. His arms were over his head and his head was kept elevated to keep his airways open to avoid fainting, and he hoped that Nosa was encouraged to follow so that she did not faint.~ “Let’s take a five minute breather and we’ll do it again. If you absolutely can’t do it then we’ll cut it for today. We got tomorrow too in case you want to keep going. I want to train with you too.” ~He looked at her while giving a warm smile as he let deep breaths escape from his nose, steady yet heavy exhales leaving him.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: Nosa was ready to exploded,she felt as as if her chest was going to bust from how hard she was breathing, but she pushed that aside and pushed herself to cach up to Tetsuo running so hard she felt as if the path would break with every step she took then the path to jog came up she hurried and reached the path turn the dashing sprint to the gentle jog and doing this four times then when it was over she walked over to where Tetsuo stood waiting near the fountain then she dramatically fainted on the ground- Well golly,that's probably the farthest or longest I've ever ran in my life -she said to herself as she turned towards him listening to Tetsuo as he began to speak- Let’s take a five minute breather and we’ll do it again. If you absolutely can’t do it then we’ll cut it for today. We got tomorrow too in case you want to keep going. I want to train with you too.”- he ended this with a smile which got her blushing,he's so nice, and then she looked up at the sky and took the time to catch her breath
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo was walking small laps around the fountain in the center of the courtyard so that his heart rate began to slow down as he felt his pulse thumping against his neck and his heart pouching in his chest, both having a fast rhythm even while his breathing started to slow down from fast huffs and puffs to steady inhales and exhales. He watched as Nosa was lying down on the grass of the grounds to recover which Tetsuo did not seem to mind but he spent the next five minutes to keep himself active and not pass out. As soon as he recovered he then jogged over to Nosa to let her know that it was time to try again but this time by doing the opposite direction. He helped her up by taking her right hand and lead her back to the starting point where he already took off at a jog. He continued to talk to her as they were going to head to the first turn-in.~ “You’re doing great so far, Nosa-chan. Keep it up and you may make it to being a Chunin someday.” ~He maintained his light jogging speed when hitting the first turn and at the end he sprinted hard, knees lifted up with legs kicking out so heels touch first before the toes and his arms being thrown forward to increase his stride. His hard breathing entered and left in intense heaves as he pushed himself along the first straightaway, the muscles burning and the veins pumping hard.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: Nosa was just in the middle of a train of thoughts just to pass the time,thoughts such as ,could she really be able to make it pass genin, and , will she make it through chunin exams or even handle being a chunin, she shook her head breaking these thoughts and sighed, she made a vow to to at least try stop putting herself down like that but sometime it happens they slowly trail into her mind and just spread but enough of this,Nosa was brought back to earth as Tetsuo jogged over to her and told her that their five minu break was over and helped her up with a lending hand and with that they headed back to their starting point as Tetsuo had already started to take off with a jog in the opposite direction,as she jogged to catch up to him he said to her- You’re doing great so far, Nosa-chan. Keep it up and you may make it to being a Chunin someday.- with that she blushed slightly before sighing then gently smiled and responded back with a thank you and as soon as the turn showed up both she and Tetsuo sprinted as fast as they could legs beating hard against the stone,breaths quickened as the ran along the long path then she stumbled and fell and may have skinned her knee a little but wasn't going to let that slow her down and ran faster to catch up with Tetsuo hoping he didn't see her fall then when the turn to jog came up she slowed down to light jog breathing heavily catching her breth before the next turn to sprint came up-
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo was feeling a bit fatigued as he kept going but he used those precious moments of jogging to regain his breath and stamina even though they were very short. He figured that Nosa was getting as tired as he was and he felt a flop behind him and saw that Nosa had hurt herself but kept going even as far as sprinting harder to catch up with him.~ “Keep it up, Nosa-chan! You got this! Say it in your head if you got to! You got this down good!” ~He meant his words of encouragement as he was jogging along on the next turn which was a mark for the end of the second mile’s first lap. The next sprint was causing him to cough up a bit, spit flying from his mouth as he continued to push along only while his legs started to feel a burn growing within the muscles of his thighs and calves. The progression was taxing Tetsuo of his strength to keep going but he was not going to stop until he completed the run even while his body was beginning to ache and his coughing was becoming more intense which had him having to spit off to the side just to have his mouth cleared of the ball of spit that could have been sprayed out and splash all over his body. The laps continued to drag on intensely until the end of the second mile came to a close with Tetsuo heaving hard with agonizing sounds erupting from his mouth as he felt his muscles pulsing with pain that may go away once he relaxed. He walked with his hands behind his head and kept his back straight as he walked around the fountain.~ “Up to you… if you want… to keep… going.” ~He said this to Nosa as he was taking another five minutes around the fountain in the center of the grounds. If she chose to stop for the day, he could accept it and call it a day and reward her with a lunch in town. If she chose to keep going, he could continue on despite his aching state to show that he could endure it for Yazuka, for Nosa, for his teammates… for his dream.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: Nosa was in a breathing mess,her mind was going a little fuzzy from all the running or so it seemed but compared to Tetsuo she believed that she was probably better off then him he was coughing up quite a storm bringing up a little spit here and there,as they continued to run their laps seems like he did see her fall and well she didn't know what to think but she figured she should keep on running no matter what,even if her chest was feeling as wanting to combust but then she was encouraged by Tetsuo “Keep it up, Nosa-chan! You got this! Say it in your head if you got to! You got this down good!” he yelled to her and with that she pushed herself even further but then Tetsuo seemed to be having bad trouble breathing,sounded like he was in quite a deal of pain so he walked over to the fountain to catch his breath,Poor Tetesu-kun,then she shook her head,I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want me feeling pity for him but then I want to keep going at least one more round, but then her stomach growled and then she remebered she didn't eat anything this morning, oi how'd I forget to eat food, and with that she skidded in her tracks and stood straight up then called out to Tetsuo Hey Tetsuo ! I hope you don't mind but I'd like to stop please ! she shouted as she walked over to him
JusticeAndPunishment: ~Tetsuo kept his head up as he was walking around the edge of the fountain pool, both hands resting on the back of his head with fingers laced together while heaving in soft breathing despite his throat being a bit rough from the coughing that erupted from his mouth. It seemed he pushed hard on his sprints, or maybe a bit too hard, but it was already called a day when Nosa shouted out toward his way to stop the training. Five minutes went by as Tetsuo returned to Nosa and gave a nod.~ “Yeah, I’m thinking the same since we both did a lot of hard work in such a short span of time. You did pretty well and I’m sure you’ll be better in no time.” ~He smiled as he praised her for her effort in the training and gently rested an arm around her shoulders while looking at her and hugging her side gently against his.~ “How about I treat you to lunch at one of my favorite spots? There’s a good ramen vendor in the center of town. Pick whatever you like and we can chat up some more if you want to.” ~With that, he offered her his hand so that he could lead her over to the exit of the grounds and take a light stroll into the village toward the restaurants in the middle of it. Of course, he in turn felt his stomach rumble and gave a bit of a chuckle at this as he realized he was running on empty now.~
Guest_NosaHyuga: Nosa let out a breath of relief as she heard that they be taking off for the day especially since they had done so much in short period of time ,hmm maybe next time I'll remember to eat something and try to get past what I did today, she thought as she was suddenly brought back to the ground with a growl from her stomach,then she was taken by surprise as Tetsuo rested an arm around her shoulders while looking at her and gently hugged her side to his at which she smiled at and playfully ruffled his hair at the gesture “How about I treat you to lunch at one of my favorite spots? There’s a good ramen vendor in the center of town. Pick whatever you like and we can chat up some more if you want to.” she looked at him,blinked and smiled even wider Arigato Tetsu-kun,I'd like that very much and with that he lend out his hand and she took it happily as he led her out of the training grounds and towards the restaurants.
