Asuka stood at the edge of the forest of death, just were the tress starting popping up but without actually entering the forest. This would be the perfect place to start her tree climbing training. As far as she was told, tree climbing wasn’t as hard as water climbing but it did require a different kind of chakra control. The shinobi who gave her the theory said it could be some kind of magnetic force, pushing yourself off the tree. Too little, you would fall, too much and you would push yourself off the tree. Gods, this was going to be painful.
Asuka held her hands together and concentrated her chakra on her feet, trying to make a thin line of chakra on her feet. This would probably be enough, Asuka opened her eyes and sprinted towards the tree, she probably got three feet up the trunk as she felt her feet slip, Asuka tried grabbing the tree but the trunk was too thick and with a loud “Thump” her face met the wooden surface, slowly sliding down towards the floor. “Allright, too little chakra.”
She concentrated again, giving her feet more chakra. Hopefully this would be enough, she sprinted towards the tree trunk and this time she started going higher. Asuka smiled as she felt herself run towards the top, the thin branches coming closer and closer… but then she heard a loud “Crack” and could feel herself being pushed back. Asuka fell…. And landed on her back rather painfully, she rubbed her head to try and subdue the pain and looked up. Asuka saw that the tree trunk had actually broken, it seemed the Shinobi was right. Too much and you would be pushed back…. But she hadn’t even given her feet that much Chakra… this was going to be harder than she thought.
It took the whole day before she got the hang of it, people were wrong, walking on trees was indeed harder than tree climbing, Asuka ran back down the tree once she finally was able to get to the top and layed on the ground. She was too exhausted to do anything else, too exhausted to even think. But, at least, she had done it.
