A training trip -private rp Kazuki and Shimo-

Kazuki only smiled at her and waved for her to follow as he started walking down the path to what appeared to be some mountains.

Shimo began to fallow Kazuki, grabbing Samehada and her kusengai on the way placing them on there respected sword belts. Wondering where her teacher was taking her but decided it was probably best not to ask, so she just fallowed silently.

Kazuki and Shimo arrived at the base of the mountain before Kazuki executed handsigns. He would then touch Shimo's weights causing them to become heavier then before.

"I have added 100 lbs to each weight. Now lets see if you can pass this test. This will test your evasive abilities under extreme stress." Kazuki stated tying a blindfold over her eyes.

As Kazuki touched the weights she droped down to a knee do to the added weight. As he tied the blindfold around her eyes she freaked out. "WAIT! what? Your not only going to double the weight i'm carrying to 800 pounds but your going to blindfold me to!?" she yelled out, how was she supposed to know what was around her if she couldn't see? and even if she could see, she couldn't even stand at the moment how was she supposed to dodge or attack anything.

"Try not to die okay?" He runs up the mountain a bit before coming across the large boulders he had strategically placed last night. Then he started pushing them to roll down the mountain side directly at Shimo.

Shimo sighed as she heard her teacher run up the mountain. She carefully stood up, barley being able to do so she began pouring chakra into her legs in order to keep her up. As she heard the boulders rolling down the mountain she poured charka into her right arm, using all the momentum she could muster up and she hit the boulder with the arm weight.

The boulder in front of her would break apart as the two other boulders would roll down besides her. Upon closer inspection one would notice that the boulder that she broke already was slightly broken and just needed enough force to break.

Shimo stood exactly where she had before breating heavily as she continued to force her body to keep herself up. "That...was...harsh Kazuki-sama..." she said as she began to walk up the mountain towards kazuki.

Shimo who had originally planed to go up the mountain was now being pushed down. "Um..Kazuki-sama...why are we going back down the mountain??" she asked in confusion.

(bump)

Shimo stood there in shock as she felt her teacher head up the mountain. "How should i do this....well you know what...first things first...lets work on gaining more access to my chakra..." she said as she sat down under the tree she was training under before and began to meditate slowly pulling more and more chakra out of her body. She continued on like this, and after several hours as the sun began to set, Shimo stood up now being able to use up to 75% of her original chakra and about 55% of the chakra she was now holding. "I'm getting better at this....I'm now able to reach for my chakra even faster then i originally was...even with all this weight and seals..." She said with a smirk as she began her trek up the mountain, using her newly acquired chakra to do three different things help her move, sense the things around her, and enhance her sense of smell and hearing.

As she climbed up the mountain path she would notice a large decorated gate with the kanji for (one) on it. As she became closer and closer she saw her sensei or a clone of him standing there smiling at her.

"I am your proctor beat me I let you through the gate" The clone stated moving into his taijutsu stance.

Shimo could not see do to the blindfold over her eyes, but she did sense his chakra and knew it was him. His chakra wasn't as strong as the original one and by her guess was a clone. With a sigh she remembered the original rule and removed Samehada from her back and sealed it in a scroll which she placed within a pocket inside her ninja outfit. "I guess its time then....teacher.." She said with a sigh as she drew her kusengai blade. "Lets go!" She shouted as she rushed kazuki in a speed even greater then she had when only having the 100 pound weights on.

Seeing her response he waited till she was within striking distance before dissapearing. If she wasn't quick with her wits he would have used his speed to appear behind her to deliver a quick chop to her neck that would most likely incapacitate her.

Shimo using her own chakra to find where Kazuki's was knew where he was going to appear, and is able to quickly jump forward and fallow it by swinging her sword behind her in an arc that would cut kazuki across the chest unless he moved. "Is it just me...or have you grown slower Kazuki-sama?"

Taking advantage of her inability to see he would quickly drop down but remaining in the same general location as he would execute a quick back sweep that would hopefully trip his student over.

"It's a combination of you getting stronger and me being a weak clone" He chuckled

Shimo smirked, with each passing second she was getting better and better at controlling her chakra as well as getting better at the technique she was working on. She knew Kazuki would drop a half a second before he actually did, all it took was seeing how the chakra reacted to the muscles around it. However she did not react in time to dodge the sweep and fell over, but she was quickly able to regain her balance and jumped back up. Then in the same action she rushed her teacher doing a quick double slash with her sword one slash in a diagonal going from upper right to lower left and then one slash in the opposite direction from lower right to upper left. While at the same time stepping forward encase he tried to step back.

The clone was sliced across his body as he smirked a bit at her.

"Congradulations you pass the first test" He stated before dissapearing allowing the gates to open with a loud crack.

Shimo smirked as she placed her sword back at her side. She was beginning to grow hungry, and decided to get some food, after much searching she found a bush of edible berries and a bird flying above. Quickly releasing a kunai into the air a few inches ahead of the bird she was able to hit the bird square in the center sending it straight to the ground. "Looks like its bird and berry for dinner." she said as she made a quick fire out of some nearby tree branches to cook the bird. After allowing the bird to cook she ate both the bird and the berries and continued her journey up the mountain in the dead of the night.

The next gate would be arrived at by morning. It has a similar design to the first only instead of saying "one" it says "two". A similar clone that of the first stood there this time he looked a bit more serious.

"I am the proctor of the second exam"

Shimo had been walking all night when she came across the second gate. "Are you serious...I'm tired..." she said with a sigh as her right hand instantly grabbed for the sword at her side.

The second proctor didn't hesitate as he quickly came in for a direct attack for the stomach. If she would dodge he would plant his hand on the ground executing a spinning like motion in which would end with him tripping her. This kazuki was not here to play games and if he was only the second proctor then the 3rd and possible 4th were going to be hell.
