Yajuu, Taijutsu... Period

[Bartimaeus]

This isn't the story of a little genius, this isn't the story of an orphan either. This is only the place where a young teen perfects himself. Getting stronger day after day. A kid without story, with a simple past, and an unknown future.

There won't be a record for learned jutsus or styles, or tree walking, the only thing Yajuu can do is fight hand to hand, nothing else. To climb up a tree, he simply climbs up or jump. To get past water, he swims, it's as simple as that.

Now may begin, the present of a pretty normal kid

[Bartimaeus]

*A drop of sweat fell off of his cheek. His triceps well contracted and under a lot of strain. One hundred ninety-nine, and two hundred. His third set of push-ups was done. Yajuu stood up in front of the tree he was always training with. He stretched his legs for a couple seconds and started kicking on it. The first 90 swings from each leg were always a piece of cake, but starting 91 and up, the pain was starting to show a little bit more. His bones started to ache from the powerful strikes he would lend on the log.*

*Originally, that was the base of Gouken Taijutsu; train your strength and endurance to the maximum, the goal of Gouken is to break the enemy’s bones, this is why it requires a tremendous amount of painful and exhausting training. Yajuu couldn’t do anything but that, no ninjutsu, no genjutsu. So his only hope was taijutsu. This is when a man named Lee told him to look for Gouken taijutsu at the library. The boy bought all the books he could find and now trains every hours of his life.*

*Of course all this training gave result, he’s been fighting bums and thugs a couple times, he couldn’t find any challenge in any of his latest brawls. Two hundred kicks from each leg. The pain was there, as Lee says in his book (Yeah, Lee wrote a book) pain means the training gives results. Yajuu went in the glossary and looked at “rendans”. He went to the corresponding pages and the first rendan there was “Konoha Senpu”*

Konoha Senpu:
The technique consists in a combination of mid-air kick, enhanced by a spinning movement. From 1 to 3 kicks can be dealt, depending if the first or second kicks hit the target. Multiple spins can be performed before kicking, adding power to the kick (P.S: Be careful not to spin too much, you could get dizzy and miss it.).

*Yajuu closed the book and placed it under the tree near him. He stopped for a second and looked up. The trees in suna were very tall and there were coconuts at their top. The kid grabbed a couple shurikens and stared at the coconuts up that tree in front of him.*

-Yajuu: YOSH!! 7 coconuts, if I can’t kick them all, I’ll do a thousand squats!

*He threw 7 shurikens in the air, aiming for the coconuts. Once the first nut was starting to fall, Yajuu jumped on another tree not far from there. He sprung from that tree and reached the top of the coconut tree, from there he dived head down and was racing against the coconuts.*

-Yajuu: Ok! Here we go!!!

*He kicked the first coconut with a left-side lateral spin, his right shin hit directly in the middle of the nut and it went blasting on a rock, down to the ground. That was 1 coconut knocked down.*

*The other nut was a bit lower that Yajuu. He placed himself in a little human bullet and started flipping frontward. After a couple flips he extended his left leg and dealt a powerful heel slam. A loud “CRACK” could be heard and the coconut split in two parts that kept falling. The next nut was to the left, Yajuu spun and extended both legs, the first kick, with the right leg, missed, on the impulsion of the spin, he could lend another kick with his left heel. He kept spinning and hit the nut. That was 3 done.*

*The other 4 were too near from the ground, luckily, he was near the ground and cold manage to kick it to dart to the ground. He reached the solid soil before the nuts and could jump up. He grabbed one coconut in each hand and did a surprising move with his right leg. He just touched a nut with the tip of his toe and performed a mid air backflip. This resulted into propelling the nut upward and stopping Yajuu from going up anymore. Right now he was in the air, before the downfall, meaning he wasn’t going up, but not going down yet.*

*He threw the coconuts in both hand up. The last nut was just passing by him as he started falling down. Of course the law of physics played a role. The coconut already had more falling speed than Yajuu. Just before it could go down too far, Yajuu grabbed it with the upper flat part of his foot and gave it a little kick up so it was it front of him. With a right spin, Yajuu kicked the nut and it went smashing into a nearby tree.*

*Finally, Yajuu landed on solid ground as the three last nuts were still falling down.*

-Yajuu: Yosh! Let’s try this!

*The boy moved a couple steps away and faced where the nuts were falling. He jumped with a frontward movement and reached the nuts. He started spinning and “CRACK” hit the first nut with his right shin. He kept spinning in the same pattern and managed to lend a heel slam on one of the two remaining nuts. He could see the last one but was starting to get a bit dizzy, he had to end it soon. He sent his right leg so it would hit the nut.*

-Yajuu: KONOHA SENPU!!!

*But he missed, he wouldn’t hit the last coconut before it hit the ground. He took a 5 seconds to notice his mistake and opened his eyes.*

-Yajuu: One thousand squats! Here we go!

*Yajuu placed himself in horse stance. With both legs shoulder wide, knees flexed, both arms in front of him. He proceeded in performing the squats. He lowered his body until his shins and thighs would form a 90 degree angle. Then he raised up to a 30 degree and repeated the movement. After a couple hundreds, his thighs would begin burning, his breathe getting heavy and all the blood in his body would begin getting hotter and hotter, looking for oxygen more and more.*
