Kagami Jin, Tier 1 Weight Training, 35 Rps

1.Kagami, Jin watching as Nakami would mess with his own Weights, young Jin would summon his from a storage scroll. Looking at the set with a bewildered expression, "I suppose it is time I get even more serious with my training," said the young soldier as he straps them on one by one. They were heavy but light for their class, and once they were on, young Jin would try to stand up... "Whoa, these things can throw ya off balance if you're not careful," he speaks, trying to focus on his walking.

2.Kagami, Jin trying to move around, the young troop would feel a great decrease in speed. One in which would be discovered as he tries to throw a jab... "W-what, so slow, my punches are heavy, but they are nothing near fast, it's like I have an arm full of sledge-hammers," Jin speaks in a tone of stress.. But this was what he desired, this was what he asked for... He knew that if he was going to train with beast like aligators, then he would have to be physically fit, no if's and butt's about it.. He had to be good or decent in a wide range of things.

3.Kagami, Jin looking over at Nakami, the weights took their toll, and Jin was no master to anything like this... "I suppose, I can try my hand to hand combat style now..." Jin's theory was to try and master his shadow ability while also training with his hand to hand combat... Now this was for a purpose, to try and use his shadow freely while already close to an opponent, but without his mastery over the jutsu, this would be fruitless... In which case, he would have to train two things at once almost... So for now, all he would do was stretch, trying to get a feel for the weights.

4. "Feels like... Water, like pounds of water weighing me down," said Jin as he would enter the arena... He then tried to left his leg, but just sliding it off the bench was a toll. His foot would slam upon the ground, the kinetic energy of the weights traveled up his body, like a vibration slightly shaking him. At that moment, he would have attemp to kick, since the legs were the strongest muscle on the human body. But he wouldn't succeed, "I need to work on this," said Jin...

5. Soon enough, he would try to take a single step, and then another step.. he was taking his time, breathing heavily, trying to build up strength in his legs for the purpose of attempting to jog with the weights... Though he was not someone to workout all the time, he was fit from his mission and even then, his prowess seemed fruitless... The gravity around him felt strong, but this was all mentle, and he knew that the gravity had never changed, but his mindset was one that mentioned, "Don't give in..."

6. Kagami, Jin having being weighed down by the fine materials, he struggled to walk, talking to his buddy Nakami, "Yeah I got it, but---Gah these things weigh so much... I can see how you are so fast, walking around so casually wearing these.." Jin spoke in a calm but stressed fashion.. He continued to walk, turning around, making his round with the weights... Now he would attempt to jump into the air, but due to his legs not being that strong, even with the suimen ability to help him leap. Jin would ascend very high, maybe a few inches at best...

7. He turns around to notice the Uchiha girl and so he would greet her as Nakami did, "Oh hello there," he waved.. Stepping forward, "Looking around for someth----OOF" The young shinobi fell onto his face... The weights were too much for him at the moment but he made due with it... He tried to push himself back onto his feet, staring up with a little blood coming from his nose, even introducing himself, "I guess you can call me clumsy," he laughed, hoping Nakami would get the joke as well as Megumi.

8..Kagami, Jin pushing himself up, the young soldier realized that this would be a good position to try and truly test himself with the weights. He was going to do a few push ups, struggling to even get his lower half up... But then he realized something else, he wouldn't gain much from push ups alone, so he would slowly but surely rise up back onto his feet. Jin wanted to try and move as he would in combat, with speed and evasive action... He tries to step forward as if he were quick or side stepping an opponent..

9...Looking back to the new face entering Zexen, he couldn't help but ask, "Yet another civilian with chakra levels that stand out above the rest, tell us a bit about yourself... You plan on bringing out that potential one day?" He asked, actually bluffing about the potential part. His sensory skills were not that great, but when a new shinobi arrived, same as them and not bound by simple words, commands or a chain of events... It meant something to him, something special like those he met at the camp fire, and he has been around to see himself, Nakami, and Mu all grow into the soldiers they are now...Now he was here, training with his weights, pushing forward even more. He wondered what would come of Megumi.

10. Kagami, Jin would again continue to try and step with his foot, trying to push himself to walk, but he was dropping sweat like the High Lord drops Suiton bullets on a saturday night. He would continue this insanity, why? Because Jin simply wanted to keep up, in case he would have to halt his training for a long period of time... For now, all he could do was keep on walking, trying to build up his speed and reflex by side stepping with the weights...

11. Jin would imagine himself as a shadow boxer, and his target to fight, that very same man from the Crimson Dawn who gave him the mental scar he has today... Every now and then, he would open up his right eye, resuming the conversation he was having with the Uchiha maiden... He had her name registered within his head as he would reply. "Megumi? My name is Jin Kagami, I guess you can say, I'm from a smaller less known clan myself," he spoke with a calm and friendly tone, despite sweating like a dog in the summer heat.

12 .Time and time again, Jin would side step, as if he were trying to avoid the punches of Komaru, the man who appeared and vanished in a flash of lightning... Jin had some issues from that day, feeling as if he was being watched, even now, and having to struggle with this same sense of danger, day in and day out... He would finally be able to throw a punch, but not because he wanted to, but due to his dormant anger residing within... He pants, he huffs and he puffs, but nothing can rid him of that memory, which was why he had turned to Megumi at this point, catching a full on look of the Uchiha.

13. She seemed so innocent to him, but he would respect her as he would any soldier or civilian he saw with this potential he spoke of. "You stand out, good fortune goes well for those who exclude themselves from the common crowd, doing the same stuff day in and day out----Uchiha? One of the noble families???" Jin asked with a bewildered expression. But for the meantime, he would try and throw yet another punch. He forced himself to and it felt twice as draining than it did when he threw one out of pure hatred and anger.

14...Kagami, Jin struggling to reach up and scratch the back of his head, the young Kagami replied, "Well, not all clans, from what I know from our books, yours, and only one other, are the most famed in our village." Not too long after, Jin would take a moments rest, once that was done, he would begin to squat down, his arms folded in an X like formation upon his own chest.. His eyes looking forward, and even drifting tup to gaze at the clouds above.. He would be counting to himself, taking a mentle note of each squat performed, 'One, Two, Three---' He thought to himself, sweating, but feeling a big purpose behind such training.

15...He was not going to be able to master his own arts any time soon, not with the attacks being so rapid. So to answer that with a small solution, this training was needed, he had to surpass some of his physical limits, at least a few so that he could measure up with the rest. His attention then turned back to the Uchiha known as Megumi, "Well, if you look at it this way... Yes, you are going to do great things, but only you can truly decide how or when that happens.. You take the time to blossom, never rush towards it..." He speaks in regards to the family matters he dreads, pleasing the clan and the elders, being told what route to take rather than taking a route of his own.

16..Kagami, Jin forced to deal with his own fatigue, focusing his breathing so that it would seem like a rotation, or an imaginary circle... He breathes in through his nose and out through his mouth, and back into his nose again. This was Jin's method of training his body, breathing and perfoming the correct attacks, and since he was no taijutsu specialist, all he could do was throw a basic punch.. He would continue to repeat this, step by step.

17..Again, his initial step, placing or well positioning his toes, just shoulder length apart... His eyes focused on just that, his ability to utilize his speed with this number of weight. Jin would breathe once more, throwing his punch upwards, where he had the higher advantage of controlling this weight, as it would simply launch the attack into the air... It was a bit ironic, suffering this pain when he at first would have to fight against it... What he learned from his previous battles and spars was that he would have to be able to hold and fight with and without a kunai rather than just throw them...

18..."He's right you know, so, what do you plan to do from here on out?----" He paused himself, as he was asked the same question which he and Nakami had asked others, sometimes each other... Jin smiled, facing the girl as he continued to throw a punch, trying to hold it up with the heavy weights.. "To lead my people, my family, to create an art that would better support my people... It won't be much probably, but it will be honest work... In the end though? I wish to just settle down, start a family, If what I plan to create doesn't kill me," the Kagami laughed so lightly, he was confident in this future... He looked forward to training with Kurogi and its species, but for now, all he could do was prepare for the future of wrestling with animals.

19... Kagami, Jin laughing, pausing his training for a bit, he didn't want to make them wait... He would simply reply with, "If you have a dream, will it through dedication and it will be forged into a reality," said the young soldier as he would carry on with his weight training. He threw a quick jab, one that he would examine and for his eyes, it felt somewhat slow... So he threw another one, this time a right hook, this one felt faster as it was close without having to extend his arms and using the weight of his gear to an advantage...

20... "You can make anything a reality friend, but if you believe yourself to be lost, just remember that you are only lost because you do not know where you are... Hey, how about a little round? You think you're up for a small fight?" Jin asked, not knowing the ambitions of the Uchiha, but curious to see her current level of power and mind. But for now, while he waits for her answer, he would continue on with throwing his punches, calculating the time they were thrown to the time they met his desired point of speed.

21... Kagami, Jin a smile brimming across his face, it was not often that a new face would take him up on the offer... He usually got countered with the usual busy person or not a close combat fighter type of excuse.. Well, now he had the chance to introduce this new face in particular into the world that they lived in, one of hamony, agony, and tragedy... One that would tear apart your hopes, but Jin was held back by the weights, and if anything this would also be a great help towards himself as well... "Come, into the center, and there's no need to worry, I'm still trying to perfect the art of close combat with these heavy loads on my limbs," the soldier nods, now waiting for the Uchiha.

22...Kagami, Jin looking at the Uchiha, he sensed no formation of chakra coming from her, all he could see before him was her rush of an attack coming towards him... So he would try to take the defensive despite his heavy weights, side stepping through his reflex, attempting to perform a set of hand signs as his own reaction... This was him observing the Uchiha, to see what talents she possessed, to see what was dorment within her spirits.

23..."Never forget the basics," was all he said, and from his words, a set of clones would appear, and he would have tried to gain some distance... This was his way of trying to teach her how some fights can go, and how one can utilize the basics to gain an advantage... Though many undermine the arts of what abilities lead them to gratuate the soldiers trining academy, Jin would be the one to remind most, that they were taught for reasons such as this...
Reflex Halved but is 6.5, rounded to 7..

24... Kagami, Jin having his focus on the one before him known as Uchiha Megumi... Jin was curious as to why she was retreating at first, maintaining his defense as he thought to himself, carrying these weights within a spar.. 'She must be plotting to launch some sort of ninjutsu, an elemental maybe? Water? Fire? Or is she capable of such----' The soldier was taken by surprise by her speed, watching as she would hurl herself towards him. She had the speed but could she control it, or would Jin be able to react faster with his weights?

25... At this point, his bunshin would be destroyed, considering that it was a genjutsu based clone, and nothing physical, not even a shadow of its own... But of course her attack would connect, and Jin would make his attempt to react to this attack by kicking forward, trying to use her own speed and momentum against her, added with the strength of his kick... Jin's strength might of not been much considering the weights, but he wondered if she had the reflex to back up her speed, or anything to support it at all... "1,...2---Hardly even a few seconds and she is already here? She has a gift of speed, this is deadly, very,' He thought to himself at the moment.

26... Kagami, Jin despite his weights holding him down, nothing stopped Jin from creating strategies in order to fight with Megumi... He would have then opened a scroll and from this scroll, he would have summoned three logs, just rolling down the arena... They seemed pointless at first with one right before Jin as a measure of concealment... With the weights, his movements were slowed, yes, but so much could still be done, as long as he put his tactical mind to it.

27..."I have fought here and there, my missions usually involve violence... No matter how many times I try to avoid it," He would speak while performing a set of hand signs behind this log equal to his own mass... It seemed like he was plotting something for the speedy Uchiha, but he wouldn't say anything else, just these few worlds, "You are fast, but what do you have to compliment that speed at the moment?" He asked, waiting for her to make a move... He felt a bit more drained by his movements due to the weights, but never the less, he was focused after summoning the three logs.

28... Kagami, Jin patiently waited for the Uchiha to make her decision to strike, and so, Jin thought to himself, 'Step once.' He waits for her to make contact, and if she had crashed into him through her sheer speed... He would have triggered his kawarimi, known as the substituion technique, vanishing and replacing his figure with that of a log... From there things would get serious, even if he was weighed down by the gear on himself... As the log took the young mans place, he would have appeared elsewhere.

29....Just south of the Uchiha, behind her at an angel, there he was... And from his form, not using his physical speed, but willing to surprise her with his spiritual advantages. At this point, Jin forged and molded his chakra to that of his Yin nature, levitating a set of shuriken from his special stash... These shuriken in particular would be lighter but hit twice as hard, they rotate around his body, and soon... Would be launched, so Jin would have thrusted his right arm forward, sending the shuriken towards Megumi, all in the attempt to strike her from afar, wondering if her speed would save her from his barrage of three quick shuriken from behind. He wouldn't say a word, he was silent, keeping that right arm up with the weights on, as he believed it was better guidance for his levitated shuriken.

30.... Kagami, Jin looking at Megumi, he would have released his jutsu, no longer causing the shuriken around him to hover and rotate around him... Jin slowly, but surely walked and made his way towards Megumi, he smiled for what he was going to say... "When in doubt, fake it out, even when you are out of options, you are never without a window of chance, to turn the tables around through luck or sheer skill..." If allowed he would pat her shoulder once he had gotten in range to do so. "These weights are heavy, but I use them to strain myself to come up with other solutions rather than rely on my main abilities, and all you need, is to polish your abilities, to turn your speed into a sharpened blade," it was a lot but Jin meant well with the words he spoke.

31...Kagami, Jin would continue on with his training session shortly after he recovered from the spar he's had with Megumi. Something he would morst definately remember, training those bright eyed new comers, filled with hopes and dreams to accomplish just as he was... Determined, just a she is now, and this, like soil for plants, they helped each other grow through postive attitudes towards the world. Jin may have been up there in regards to how the higher ups saw him as well as his friends, but he wouldn't of gotten there if not for people like Mu and Nakami...

32....For now, he would have continued to throw those punches in the air, and with each punch. He would have thought about that man, the one who left him that very letter, the one who would be watching him from this point on... Jin was cautious, but he was not fully parnoid... "How dare, you treat me as bait," Jin grunts while throwing a punch... He was angry for the fact that the world could not do nothing about the Crimson Dawn, what else could happen from this point on...

33...Jin was frustrated but determined to help bring an end to this, and so far, it's been almost a month since the last attack... A few days or a week since he encountered the man who appeared and escaped in a flash of lightning. "Uryaa!" The young soldier throws a kick, using the weights, finally getting use to them, fighting effeciantly with them ever since the spar with Megumi had ended... For the young Zexenian, much had changed in such a short time, but even then, for him it was not enough, for he had yet to master his ability to summon the gators..."Ahyaa!" A knee was thrown into the air, as if someone was there before him...

34....Jin had imagined a man by the name of Poe standing, even though this did not exist, he had to find something to motivate him to train... Jin saw this man as the embodiment of the terror he spotted that day, the bodies piled up, and each hit he would land on this imaginary target... Each and every last strike, was for those that died, and his frustration growing from deep within, seeing the smiling face of their leaders, of the new threat that will soon appear... Jin was frustrated but this was what pushed him, "I'm so freaking tired of being weak! I train, day in, day out and all I can accomplish is this!" The young troop shouts in agony...

35...Fueled by rage, his tears, blood and sweat all boiling inside and out; he huffs, he pants and puffs. Jin had an expression that read, 'I want more,' in a sense of gaining the strength he believed to have been in need of, in order to defeat those he's come across thus far... The Uzumaki with the chains, the leader of the Crimson Dawn, the Shaolin Monk who attacked the gate and now.... A literal being who just may be a God, Komaru and for this one... Jin threw a punch so hard, that he felt his arm pop from the tightened joints... He grunts the name, "Komaru," the man who placed a fear into the young soldiers mind.... His weight training seemed complete but was it enough? Would he even find the time, to be trained by the Gator summoning beast of his? How much time did they actually have? Zexen, a nation destined to face war with the Gods who roam the Earth.
