"This village is important to me, it's my life and my families life....."

This was one of the few times Arashi had gone without his usual attire out in the open, that being all his torso clothing was neatly folded on a boulder to the side. He stood shirtless before the training ground just at the crack of dawn when the skylight was still dark with lines of orange flirting with the horizon. The air was cool at this time and it was quiet, not an eye was within radius to watch what he was doing. Before him about ten feet or so stood a lone log almost the height of a grown man. The log however was far from normal as it was specifically created by Arashi to hone his particular set of skills, being that the log had small nodes positioned across it's surface. Each node was tiny, the size of a needle point and there were a total of three-hundred and sixty-one. Inscribed upon the top of the log was a chakra tag which fed chakra into the log itself meaning that each pore had a tiny amount of chakra filling the hole..

"I cannot afford to be a dull blade for Kumogakure..."

Exhaling slightly, he bandaged his palms fully from the forearm all the way to his fingertips. Placing his blade's sheath upon his back, his stance changed as he stared at the log...

It was time to train.[/legend]

Zero Seconds...

His speed took him from his previous location to the base of the wooden dummy in the timing of a fleeting blink, the grass shifting it's flow with the wind in response to this increased rate of movement. His bodies forward progression did not come to a complete standstill but the energy was channeled into a sudden change in stance. This stance was not something that could be learned from a scroll or performed by any ordinary shinobi, but something that was ingrained within his body and his muscles innately knew how to position his limbs. His feet stood strong and firm while his palm quickly pulled his blade Hari from it's holster, all within the same swift motion. His eyes were void of color at this stage, veins surfacing along the edges of his face sprouting from the whites of his eyeballs. No signs had been weaved as the detail his eyesight was truly capable of finally set in. No longer did he view what was before him visually but he could see at a radius a normal man could only dream of.

One second ticks away, then two....then three...

His blade's pin-needle point was drawn forwards however thanks to the unique design of the overgrown senbon needle weapon, he did not have to shy out of arms length from the dummy in order to strike it. Time slowed tremendously for him suddenly, his gaze falling upon the cluster of chakra points along the log with one focused glare. Mentally he counted them, recording their position in his brain while physically the grip on his blade instinctively tightened. There were no wasted movements from him, his footing did not remain stationary either as Arashi danced around the circumference of the training tool. The number of points his eyes could see were diminishing as the point of his blade struck each at it's very center, funneling chakra into each node and clogging it. So advanced was his skills handling his weapon which was undoubtedly impart to his byakugan that for a brief cluster of time spanning no more than a second did his grasp on his blade actually loosen fully. The blade which was coined Hari rotated suddenly in the air....

Four seconds....five seconds...

The blade had not undergone a full rotation before both Arashi's palm rested within twin belt pouches behind his back. There was no smirk or sense of enjoyment on his face, only the grimace of pushing his body further than the previous training session. Upping his speed his palms withdrew themselves from the storage pouches and having thin wiring wrapped around each pinky and thumb made him seem like a puppeteer if only for a moment. A full rotation of his blade had pass and by now the edge was angled towards the ground and would soon be going into a state where it would be pulled towards the ground by gravity. Clenching his teeth as his body suddenly slammed into the immovable device, Arashi's arms rested hugging the training dummy tightly. A single ray of light passed between some trees deep on the horizon, betraying the metal which made up the ninja wire's surface. In that instant of striking the log, it had been wrapped multiple times by the ninja wire like a lint ball almost. This was a secondary layer tactic added onto a grappling hold to ensure his opponent could not move....

Five...six....

Without need for the wiring to be attached to his right palm anymore he shifted his arms position to being behind his back. Palms outstretched, the handle of his blade had landed precisely within his grasp and his eyes narrowed suddenly with it in his possession. His arms arced at this moment in time, yet it was not the image of him swinging just one blade that appeared into this reality. With his agility and natural speed, coupled with downward slash were nine other mirages of his palm in some way or another swinging a blade towards the log. Planting his palm into the log his body pushed off flipping only to slide backwards just a few feet. Gaining a handle on his composure, Arashi's fingertips forced the blade to rotate till it's pointed area was facing backwards and away from his body. The byakugan's focus shifted as no longer did he manage to shut down the chakra nodes implanted into the log but as he readied both body and spirit there he took notice. There were ten well placed and deep slashing marks cleaved into the log....

Next round...
