Insight/Acrobatics
Minoru's efficiency with his eyesight grew the more he used them. Often he found himself on the training grounds of the academy, having placed several dummies around the area that were obscured by his normal vision and were laced with traps. With each one, he would activate his eyesight, allowing him to see the chakra he infused within each dummy. Some were hidden behind rocks or trees, and when he saw them, he would sprint toward their location, often jumping high and pushing off of the environment. Occasionally he had to flip through the air to dodge the trap he had set. Kunai would often fly as means to impale him, but due to his quick reactionary skills and near 360° vision, he could merely angle his body to flip past them or find a hole and jump through them. With his acrobatic ability and his eyesight to find and combat targets, he would prove most useful to an ANBU team.
Bull's Strength
The young Senju always had a fascination with weight training. Spending a portion of each day strengthening his body to resistance, he would train a certain body part for that day, often leading to soreness the next few days. His body morphed slowly over time, making his muscles more prominent and occupy more space on his body. Since he worked all muscles equally, his proportion was never skewed. When he was able to push one and a half times his body weight on most of the major exercises, he moved towards harnessing chakra to further his strength. The young AiT practiced concentrating the blue force into his hands, and punched rocks. Eventually it got to the point he could smash boulders and create great destruction on the environment with his punches and kicks.
Called Shot
Use of a special style that Minoru learned with his eyes allowed him to attack very precise points on a target. In combination with his strength, he could break and even sprain limbs on a dummy which could translate to potential human targets. With a touch of his fingers, the force emitted could shatter bones or render limbs or certain areas useless on an enemy. This ability was only possible due to his awakened bloodline on that fateful evening in which he was inducted as a full member of the Senju. There was often times that he would place a gentle finger on a dummy, and watch the area in which he touched crunch and snap as if he placed an infinte weight upon it.
Conservative Motion
Any Taijutsu expert has to be able to endure. Becoming winded after a few strikes was simply not an option, and Minoru treated it as such. He spent many days running to improve his cardiovascular fitness, and even resorted to sprints, high intensity calisthenics, and weight training with minimal rest. Of course, this was not enough in itself. He had to be able to dig deep and keep going, as well as find the calm within the storm. He rarely meditated, but when he did, he found that it granted him much peace and returned his breath rather quickly. He was often surprised by the results. With the training regimen, he was able to recover from exhaustion and shrug it off at needed moments.
Quick Healer
The more Minoru trained, considering it was all he did besides resort to his studies and his sciences, the more wounds would open and pour blood forth. However, the human body is adaptive. The more Minoru caused damage, the more his body would recover at a daily basis. His recovery was quick, even for a shinobi, due to his extensive training that took a toll on one's body. Although his healing did plateau, he could never get himself to recover deep cuts in less than 12 hours without assistance, he was still able to heal fast. Cuts, bruises, scrapes, and even sprains would heal within 48 hours at most. This provided one lesson to the young Senju, if you want to improve physically, you must push the body out of its comfort zone to adapt to make its comfort zone the level you took it out of.
Quickdraw
Battles lasted minutes, sometimes even seconds depending on the opponent. Time was as crucial as ever, and there was no time to spend extra seconds fumbling around in ones pockets just to draw a kunai or scroll or soldier pill. Every second could mean the difference between living and dying. Minoru took this to heart and made sure to know via instinct where each item was on his body and draw it in record time. He practiced at random moments to be sure he was on the ball at all times. He would read a book, and halfway through his reading session, draw an energy drink and chug it down, counting the seconds it took. Every week he attempted to minimize the time, and sometimes he improved. Other times, he did not. He kept trying, and still does to this day.
