Obito's Training - Chapter Two
Obito said, "Sensei! I'm ready!" Midori responded saying, "Good to know Obito."
Obito asked his sensie, "So, what kind of special training is this sensei?", Midori answered, "Well, since you have lost your arms, the only way you can fight battles is with your legs. So this training is going to make your legs stronger, faster, and more flexible. Since you won't only need it in battle but only in real life. As you will be using it to do what a hand is supposed to do. Carrying things, catching things, and all these minor things that are important in life and in battle." Obito answered enthusiastically, "Okay Sensei! Do not worry! My legs are already really strong so I'm confident this will work!" Minato then continued, "Obito, I need you to not use anything but your legs in doing anything. For the next four weeks, I want you to do every single thing with your legs, just to get it used and ready to act like an arm." Obito said, "Sure thing, sensei!"
Before starting the training, Midori wanted to check the statistics of some challenges that would test Obito's leg strength, speed and flexibility . Before the training he could lift 89 KG with one leg, run from the river to the bridge in 1 minute and 51 seconds and could raise his leg to about 1.7 meters. Midori was surprised, his statistics were high even before the training.
The training began. Obito starting lifting things and carrying them around with his improved his kicks and many other things with his legs such as holds, throws and also learned to dodge with his legs. Also Midori had Obito strech his legs in order to make it more flexible because that was an essential part in order for it to be like an arm to Obito. The training was more than tiring. They trained 16 hours a day, slept 6, and rested for only 2. They did this for four weeks, and Obito now was completely ready. His legs became very strong, actually the strongest in the village by now, and they were now ready to do anything. Midori never thought it would turn out to be this successful, but Obito in the end made it. In the end of the training Obito stated, "Sensei! I'm ready to kick some ass!"
Soon after that Midori tested his statistics again to see how much Obito improved. The results were astonishing. Obito can now lift 133 KG with one leg, he ran from the river to the bride in 55 seconds and could riase his leg to about 2.2 meters.
Both Midori and Obito were more than happy with the results, and so, they headed back to the village. Midori told Obito, "Obito, your legs are probably now the strongest, fastest legs here in the village. They should make up for your lost arms. To keep improving, our regular training will be in the same place every single day for 12 hours." Obito said, "What? That is too much sensei! A genin's regular training is only 6 hours 5 days a week!" Midori answered quickly saying, "Obito! Listen to me! You are the one who asked for this. It is going to be very hard to live and fight as a shinobi without arms. But I actually see some hope in your idea of living with only two legs. That is why you need to keep improving your legs really fast. Trsut me, if you imporved this much in only four weeks... You would be more than incredible in only a couple of months if you just stick to this training." Obito answered and said, "Very well. But what about jutsu?", Midori said, "You can't do any hand signs, jutsu will not work. However, there are some things that might work for you. For instance, your sharingan. Even though your sharingan still did not activate... Once it does, you can use it without any handsigns. Your specialty will be taijutsu." Obito said, "I understand."
News about Obito's special training spread the village, and the day Obito came home, everyone welcomed him happily. However, one person that greeted him with, "Lets fight!" was Naruto. He insisted on fighting with Obito to see Obito's new strength. Obito accepted.
Later than day, after Obito rested, he went and met with Naruto in the training area in Konoha as they agreed.
The fight started. Both genins charged at each other, Naruto screamed, "Show me what you got!" as Naruto threw a punch at Obito's face. However, Obito quickly raised his legs and easily blocked Naruto's attack. "Ow! These legs are rock hard!" Naruto said and quickly drew back to recover from the pain. "Heh, you still didn't see anything!", said Obito as he quickly ran towards the hurt Naruto and kicked him in the side with one leg, sending him flying to the far wall with a loud blow. Naruto was injured, he got up and said, "Wow, that training really made you strong. Well, you can't do anything against Ninjutsu!" Naruto created some clones and started a Rasengan. He charged at Obito, "What should I do! I never thought of how to block Ninjutsu! I don't have any Ninjutsu to block his jutsu!" Obito thought to himself. Naruto's Rasengan was getting closer to Obito, then Obito realized he has no other choice than to dodge it by moving out of the way. As the Rasengan came clone, Obito dashed away to the right, and waited for Naruto to deactivate his jutsu so that they can go back to hand-to-hand combat. As Naruto deactivated his Rasengan, he looked at Obito. With extreme speed, Obito dashed at Naruto and kicked him in his chest, and heared a Puff as the clone Naruto he attacked vanished. He looked behind him, and found nothing. Obito was confused, he kept looking... And in an instant, a Naruto emerged from below the ground, punching Obito in his jaw. Obito flew upwards, and landed with a loud thud.
Obito got up with some blood coming from his mouth, "Not bad at all," he said, "but you're still going to lose!" Obito charged with an attempt to kick Naruto in his chest, Naruto surprisingly dodged it by moving away to the right and threw his right hand to punch Obito. However, Obito looked behind him, and with amazing speed, raised his legs and wrapped them around naruto's right hand, a grab called an armbar. And in less than a second, the pain on Naruto's hand was indescribable, he felt like his hands were tearing apart. "Heh, now's the time to give up!" Naruto was screaming and after that by a matter seconds Obito shouted, "I'll break your arm if you don't! You have three seconds!" Naruto quickly surrendered.
Obito released Naruto and shook his hand and said, "Good match." Naruto replied and said, "Yes, you improved a lot! I'll challenge you again in a week! I'll prove to you I'm stronger!" Obito then smiled and said, "That's never going to happen Naruto, but I accept your challenge!"
The boys left the training field. Obito went quickly to Midori to ask him a question that was in his mind for a long time.
"How do I dodge Ninjutsu!" Obito asked. Midori looked and said, "Hmm, your only choice is to move away. But I don't think this will help all the time." Obito agreed and asked again, "Well, what do I do?" Midori responded, "I'm not sure, Obito. You only have two legs and soon you will get a sharingan. That sharingan will only make the enemy's attack seem slower so it might be easier to move away from that jutsu. I told you Obito, it won't be - " Midori suddenly stopped. Obito asked, "Won't be what?", Midori then looked at Obito and asked, "Obito! I have a good idea."
They went to the training grounds and Midori told Obito, "Okay, so, I want you to put some chakra in your legs." Obito stared at Midori, and then asked, "How can I do that?" Midori looked in astonishment and shouted, "What? You never use chakra in your legs!" Obito said, "No..."
"And you expect your legs to be useful? The first thing you need to know is to control chakra in your legs, after doing that, you will be able to block other incoming chakra from enemies using the chakra in your legs." Obito then understood and said, "Aah, I got it!" Then Midori said, "You can also use chakra in your legs to add more power to your kicks, but that's a different thing. For now, let me train you on controlling chakra in your legs."
Obito said, " Ok,Sensei!" With a smile on his face.
After about a week of 12 hours of training every day, 6 in controlling chakra in his legs to block Ninjutsu and 6 to improve his legs, Obito finally got the hang of it. Midori then wanted to test Obito by using his lightning strike and see if Obito could dodge it.
"Ok, Obito, now put some chakra in your legs and when I attack with my jutsu, kick my chakra. The stronger the kick, and the more the chakra you out into your legs, the more chakra you will take out of my jutsu, so try and take out all of the chakra to completely cancel the jutsu. I'll use a lot of chakra so make sure you don't take it easy." "Got it!" Obito said.
Midori created a tremendous amount of chakra in his hands and charged at Obito. Obito put some chakra in his legs and then kicked the chakra created by Midori when Midori came close. Midori's chakra instantly disappeared. "Heh, that was too easy, sensei. I wasn't even close to half of my chakra and power!" Midori smiled and said, "Impressive. Keep it up. Now we are back to 12 hours a day of improving legs, forget about chakra control now, you already got the hang of it. So I expect you to be here every day at 8 in the morning." Obito nodded and said, "Will do!"
Obito then headed back home. It was night, and he desperately needed to rest. Obito then started to talk to himself, "Wow, I never expected the losing my arms would lead to this! I'd have these legs alone rather than my old pair of hands and legs, heh. But now, I need to focus on my goal. I have to find Sasuke! I need to talk to him about Itachi, I think I know exactly where to find him. Tomorrow, after my training, I'll head out to the Sound Village, and tell Sasuke all the information I got about Itachi. Sasuke... together, we will, avenge the Uchiha!"
The next day, Obito went through his special training. By this time, his legs actually became so strong that just by walking a bit heavily, he would break the part of the ground his feet are walking on. Because not only did the twelve hour training of only legs made his legs super strong, but also since he uses his legs to do almost everything. He even started to notice an amazing amount of power in his legs and actually felt the muscles getting stronger day my day!
Later than day, after training, he wanted to head out to the Hidden Sound before midnight. However, his plans were interrupted when Kakashi came to him and told him that they will be going to a 6 day mission. It wasn't a mission of fighting, they actually had to go to the Hidden Sand and start reconstructing the village after Akatsuki's invasion on that village (Deidara and Sasori). Obito sighed and went back home to get some sleep before the mission.
The next day, the team was ready, they met outside the village at 9 in the morning. They headed out to the Hidden Sand. On the way, Midori explained, "Okay, team! The distance of going to and from the Hidden Sand should take about one day. So we will be there helping them reconstruct the village about five days. Expect daily training as well. We will train for 12 hours, help them for 6, and sleep for 6." Everyone looked at Midori, and then he continued, "I know this is too much, but I guarantee you all a very satisfying result in the end. Especially you, Obito! Because the 6 hours you will spend in reconstructing the village will be basically training, since you'll be lifting extremely heavy weights with your legs throughout the whole village!"
"Great..." Obito said sarcastically.
The team then headed to the Sand Village, and reached it in almost half a day. Everyone was exhausted from all the walking. Except for Obito, who was actually not tired at all, thanks to his legs. He also kept teasing them throughout the whole journey, "Sensei! You tired already? Interesting. My legs are stronger than yours, haha!"
The team then relaxes for about an hour, and then, the Sand Village's reconstruction started.
