Self-betterment (Training thread)

[Kureji]

Kurejī knows that if he wants to survive in this world now that he has made himself a missing ninja, he will have to train himself and get stronger. And that would also mean no more pulling his punches and going around, unfiltered. Sand was way too lax and that was why he got the slip on them. He won't be so lucky the next time he runs into any other ninja. Bringing out Teddy Bear of one of his scrolls, he practiced some of the basics to wielding a puppet before going into more advanced and vicious strikes and attacks.

He was aware of a group of people forming nearby, he could hear the hushed whispers. Was it so weird for a ninja to be practicing out here in the countryside? Then again... He DID hear that there wasn't much shinobi that would hang around Tea Country with the exception of that Tea tournament that happened some years ago. He shrugged to himself, as long as they don't bother him, he won't bother them. It would be the least he can do. It might also do him good to hit up a library if this country has one, that will give him all the information he would need on what the Void was.

Kurejī let out a sigh, oh yeah, that was another thing that he left behind in Sand. Uzuike had promised him that he would help the boy learn more about the Void. Being on his own was finally starting to hit him. Now, he really knows it is just him versus the world.

[Kureji]

It has been a week since Kurejī had shown up in Tea, without a single thing going wrong. He has been training nonstop with his two puppets, and nobody has bothered him. And a lot less people have been coming out to the fields to keep an eye on him. A relief on his part, meaning less people are being wary of him, but it could also mean others like him might be watching him. The very thought of meeting others, even if they have ill intentions towards him, just fills him with adrenaline. Kurejī is starting to like the whole thrill of it, even if he chose to be only slightly ever safe by not chilling out at one of the other major Countries.

He has visited some of the local libraries and came to a conclusion that he is what people would call, a Void Walker. It would explain how messed up his mind is. 'Kota', his former name pre- Void Walker, holds no meaning to him now, but if he ever does feel the need to go incognito, it might be nice to use the name. Everything is still a little bit fuzzy of his memories before the mental hospital, he sometimes wished that there was like a whistle to just summon an Uchiha so they can invade your mind and help you navigate through some messed up memories. But nooo, that'd be too easy.

Kurejī thought about all of this as he trained. Making mental notes to keep expanding his own knowledge, something he hates, but has to pursue if he ever wants to be both strong and smart. A few hours have passed and Kurejī finally called it quits.

This place is starting to be a bore to him. Sure, he likes the safety, but other than that, it holds nothing for him other than a safe base of operations. As for his own trainings, he has grown frustrated with his own mortality and how his puppet weapons can keep working from almost beyond repair. It is easier to repair a puppet than a human.

He pondered on the idea for a minute. It would prove beneficial for him to adopt such a body, and he has had readings from which would suggest that people can become a living wooden weapon. He smiled underneath his mask. For now, he will play nice, that is, until he has what he wants. For too long, he has chosen the safer route after he left Sand. Now, though, he will choose to make the jump. The only thing that would prove a challenge for him would be finding allies.

As Kurejī trained, he wielded the two puppets that he has with more ferocity than ever before. He is now training like his life is depending on it. After all, right now, it is him versus the world until he finds allies. He made the situation that he is in, but he has no regrets. After all, what's life without a little bit of risk? Moving his fingers in a fast but methodical way, he is expertly moving his puppets, their movements fluid and perfect. He let out a crazy laugh, one that a few on lookers left small chills down their spines. Speaking of which, those people started to feel... nothing, as if their own senses were cut off. Kurejī was aware of this. How does he know? It's simple, he is attuned to the Void after all. But he wants so much more than just the Void. He wants total control along with little to no repercussions of his own actions. The human puppet.
