Chapter 2.5: Pre-Chunin Exams
Nanami wakes up and stretches out fully. "Nanami, better get up. Or you might miss that valuable training time you always talk about." Her father yells from the kitchen. She rolls out of bed, her eyes dance over her freshly pressed outfit "I hope its to your specifications. You were very picky about it." Shikamaru says from the doorway. "Its perfect, it should allow for faster movement when using my bow."
A few minutes later she was dressed, and ready for another fun day of training. Nanami loved it, she enjoyed the degree of difficulty of the training she was put through. She picks up her bow, and waves at Shikamaru as she leaves. He smiles, and holds up a bag "The usual snacks, and vitamins for the day." Nanami stops and grabs the bag quickly. With that the door slams behind her. Shikamaru chuckles "Very much like your mother."
Nanami makes her way to the training ground. She finds the pond, walks out on it and sits down. Nanami takes out her bow. The bow is made of strong oak, and through tireless effort, and chakra. The bow is now black in color, it gleams like marble would. Yet it was wood. Everyday of the weeks of training, she would sit down with the bow, and bond with it. Nanami would infuse her wind, and fire chakra within the wood and string of the bow. Many times Sensei asked to see her bow, and he barely could lift it. On the other-hand it was light as a feather in Nanami's hands. She had been also slowly carving her families names on one side of the bow, and the names of her Sensei, and teammates on the other-side. After about an hour of this she walked over to the archery targets.
Nanami walked about two hundred yards out to start. She started letting arrows fly at a very rapid pace. Each one on target for the body part of the target dummies she was aiming for. She then backed up to three hundred yards. She was slightly less accurate, but still on target for the most part. With normal arrows this was her extreme limits. She usually stayed in the hundred to hundred and fifty yard markers, mostly for accuracy. This did however give her a great advantage against melee ninja. Something Akuma had worked quite hard with her on was using her genjutsu to camouflage herself, making her invisible. Through Akuma's help he helped show her what else could be done. At this point the False surroundings jutsu made her vastly more effective for a sniper style ninja. She had adapted it to where she could turn herself invisible even when standing right in front of people. Nanami was very proud of how far she had come.
Nanami knew her weakness would be melee combatants, and her tricks would not always work. So she came up with tactics to create distance. She adapted her wind jutsu to make one giant tornado instead of several small ones, as well as creating a massive gust of wind. Combine this with her fire jutsu, and you get an explosion based on how much chakra she used. The body flicker technique was also another way out, as well as the replacement technique. Nanami was looking at every angle she could. Preparing herself the best she could. Regardless if training was scheduled or not, Nanami would train relentlessly. She had settled on a goal. Her goal was to become the strongest ninja, and protect those she holds precious.
Nanami trains for the rest of day, or until interrupted.
