The first light of dawn didn't deter Hoheto who was drenched in sweat, weilding a razor sharp blade in his arms. Prior to the break of dawn, the uchiha had ventured to the forest of death along with his newly acquired weapon to start training. From the day before, he had given thoughts to improving his fighting skills; so he got himself a weapon for that purpose. Hoheto who sought to improve on his weaknesses had browsed through the weapon store despite his age for a blade capable of satisfying his needs in battle. As for the sword he bought, he named it the Craven Edge given the history behind it; as told by the storekeeper. He felt he could be able to bring out its true potential as he also grew as a ninja.
Pulling out gently his sword from its sheathe, Hoheto remembered from the books he read from the library about the basics of sword Taijutsu, such as downward slash or spinning slash. He knew in close combat he would have to keep his guard up the whole time, but since he fought without shields, dodging and parrying was his only options in his newly adopted style of fighting. Now that he finalized his fighting style, it was time for him to start his training. Hoheto's imagination kicked in, he pictured his opponent to be inches away from him. Swinging the whole of his arm, he registered horizontal and diagonal slashes. Also, he imagined his opponent attacking him as well, causing him to practice evading close combat attacks as well.
