Working The Wire ☤ Training ☤ Private

It would take effort beyond the minimal to truly become a skilled medical ninja especially since her natural talent started out in sealing jutsu. Obstacles proudly stood in her way but nobly she kept on her feet ready to face each and every one of them until she'd reached her goal. Achieving goals was never an easy thing to do alone though right now she was already working in that way even if it wasn't her favorite. "No one's out here again." Yuno wasn't alone due to choice but rather no one ever responded to the looking for a training partner ad she always stapled to one of the villages many bulletin board's in places like shops.

Out in the middle of the field the young Uzumaki stood all alone in the early dawn. "Maybe just a little longer before I start this time around." Perhaps it was just too early in the morning for other Genin to care about training to the bone until they improved enough to become amazing ninja. Yuno sighed a small frown on her face accompanied the internal prayers that finally she would have a chance to make a friend today since chances to make one hadn't come around much since her move.

Body Flicker Jutsu [D]:

Peperit was at the training grounds now, something it seemed that the other girl here had not noticed yet. She had not arrived from the proper path, but had come through a different direction so as to immediately start using the Jutsus she wanted to practice for the day. The female Genin had been looking at posted missions and other papers that had been posts when she had seen a request for a practice partner for a day of Jutsu practice. It was a girl that had the name Yuno, and as Pepper had never heard of her it seemed like a safe bet that meeting at the training grounds was safe to do.

"My name is Peperit, I saw your flyer you posted looking for a sparring partner. Seems I arrived before anyone else could step in for it." The woman would speak from the shadows, preparing herself and focusing her chakra before she began to make a hand sign. The plan was to get her startled, or at least battle ready if not, the woman was going to Body Flicker near her before attempting to use another technique right after. Nothing that would hurt her too badly, of course, but nothing that would maim or kill.

Jutsu being trained in post:

An angelic voice weaved out upon her from the shadows answering the prayer she'd been holding onto for the past year. "Yuno, I'm Yuno Uzumaki." grin wide as the sky behind them allowed her fangs to glimmer through as a single relieved tear slip from the corner of her blood hued eye. "You're indeed the first person." After a year of both studying and training to her lonesome the girl was beyond happy to get a training partner. Peperit had the advantage emotion taking logic away from the red haired girl for a few brief moments.

This field was stage for her training for the last year now she finally got to share it. "Oh!" Instinct took over ducking as she quickly backed up on her heels utilizing the clone jutsu in order to buy herself a few moments. Crimson optics looked around for anything she could use to practice this technique in order to see if all her reading on it had paid off. "Bright and early, huh." It was one of the clones instead of Yuno herself because the girl had something much more important to do if her clone could keep the other girl for a moment. Weaving tiger, boar, ox, dog and snake while hidden among her clones she fished to swap for a nearby log further away.

As Yuno gave her full name, letting Peperit know that she was from the Uzumaki clan, there was nothing but happiness in her voice. How long had she gone without a sparring partner that she was this happy to finally have one? Not waiting to find out anything else, Pepper would simply finish the hand signs she needed to do for what she was practicing. It only took a single Tiger sign for her to move impossibly fast and come up to the side of the other girl. A simple lash out with a kick would be made in an attempt to knock her down. Not too hard to do any real damage, just enough to force someone of her size down and onto the defensive.

It felt so odd, moving so quickly that others could not track you and yet not feeling like it was out of place for your body. She may be older, but she had yet to be promoted to Chuunin and the lack of experience as such was felt in her mind. It was the whole reason she had come out here today, to put a few more Jutsu under her belt as soon as possible!

Lacking in any true combat experience Yuno had no idea how the older girl had flickered or what could be coming next. Fighting against practice dummies was nothing like sparring Peperit, the mistaken expectation born from months of solo exercises. Long strands of crimson lay across the grass when she went down barely catching with her elbows against the ground. World blanking for a blink her mind lacked even a single plan to use in this situation. It was clear by the time she began moving again that in an actual battle an enemy would have already taken the kill.

Fist tightened around blades of grass tearing them into her grip as she stood on her feet, once more having a plan. Strategy was useless without the speed to back it up which painfully she appeared to lack. Preparing to make her next move Yuno reeled her hand back in order to swing forward tossing the grass at the gaze of her opponent, a feint to burn into the others attention. Ultimately it was now that she acted without hesitation following her feint by heartbeats feet leaving the ground attempting to take advantage of hopefully obscured vision to land a jump kick to Peperits face.

Leaf Gale [D]:

It seemed the kick had landed, which was a bit of a surprise when she was used to sparring partners that could dodge a basic kick most of the time. It seemed like, given the situation, it was probably a better bet to practice more Taijutsu than use something else. She had thought of practicing the one volcanic ash Jutsu that the clan had shown her, but that would need to be done on a dummy or tree as she did not want to blind Yuno with it.

While planning in her head, and taking a small step forward, Peperit would suddenly find grass being thrown into her face. That was low, especially when she was just thinking about not doing the same with blindingly hot ash! Grass in her face, some getting in her eye as she had not been prepared, the female would begin to move her body in a way that would hopefully allow her to do the sweeping low kick that was called 'Leaf Gale.' So far it seemed like she was not going to fall on her ass while attempting to do it, but would she manage to hit her sparring partner and keep her down or knock her down again?

Observing while she acted Yuno took note of the way her opponent reacted to her actions until the last possible second when her body passed above the other shinobi. Having no experience practicing against something apart from training dummies her move being dodged was an unexpected twist for the redhead. The different situation was not easily adjusted for as instead of extending legs to catch herself the girls mind went entirely blank trying to figure out a response plan that she had no time to come up with. Instinct of self preservation obviously tried to catch her but the best it did was her elbows scratched up in the grass barely preventing her face from hitting the ground.

Stunned into silence and brain death Yuno simply lay there for several long moments. Far too late the idea that having her back towards an enemy was never the best plan finally struck her. "Oh crap." Rolling the fresh Genin struggled to get back onto her feet the rigid laced knee high boots worn by her causing significant trouble with the task. "Don't help I can do it." Finally after a struggle longer than their fight she was finally wobbly standing again moving her arms to signal that she was ready to go again.

The next little bit that happened in the fight had to be the most awkward thing that had ever happened in her entire time of sparring with others. Her sweeping kick would clear the grass from her eye, allowing her to see just in time to see the other girl go flying over her with a high jump kick at the same time. Neither girl would manage to hit the other, though it seemed Yuno would manage to panic and skid on her elbows in the grass rather than correct herself for a proper landing. Coming up from her kick, and correcting herself, the female would run over to the other that was still on the ground on her hands and knees.

She was about to offer a hand out to help her up when she outright refused it verbally. The girl would awkwardly get back up and Pepper would wait to say anything. "Do you need to practice anything that doesn't involve combat? I don't want you to get hurt too badly and have to end this too soon." The female would prepare herself to fight, clearly in a combat stance, and would begin planning out what she would be doing next in this spar if the girl agreed to continue before attempting other things that could be practiced without combat.

Technique Being Trained:

Fighting another living person after so long going without any mobile opponent for her training was becoming beyond awkward. Trying to practice something beside combat would be the most logical idea. "Well, there are a few fuinjutsu techniques I want to cover." Eventually taking a break would be necessary but it would be far too embarrassing after that display. "Lets finish this first, afterwards we can go for lunch and I can practice those at the same time." Sure her legs still wobbled but that wouldn't stop her from at least trying to redeem some pinch of good image.

Moving to Johogakure had not been simple and adjusting to the more combat trained Genin here was even more difficult. "I know things like first aid so a few scrapes shouldn't hurt." She couldn't look incapable in front of Peperit even if she couldn't preform Medical Ninjutsu most of her education had still taken place in a medical village. "Come on!" She was truly happy to have someone to train with even if everything which she had done against her so far was nearly shameful. Although Yuno shouldn't have been so quick to prod her opponent because she hadn't actually come up with a plan.

Dynamic Entry D-rank:

So Yuno wanted to keep going, it seemed, at least until this spar was over, and then the two could move on to doing training on things that were easier to do without fighting each other. That was fine with Peperit. After all, she was simply here to practice and help another member of the village do the same. If they couldn't help each other then their enemies would help themselves to everything they had. The other female was still a bit wobbly on her feet, but this was going to continue on.  "So be it, shall we begin again?"

With that said, Pepper would get back into a combat stance and prepare herself for whatever would come next. The other Genin would mention knowing first aid, a good thing to know with what was currently ongoing, so there was no fear for any slight damage that might happen during their little fight. Focusing herself more on the fight and training of her own body, Peperit would eventually begin to run at the Uzumaki clan female with the intent and purpose of doing the exact same maneuver that the oher girl had tried before. It was just a simple high jump kick with a fancy name, in the end, and when done properly was a great way to start a physical fight.

Focus entirely set on when the fight would restart none remained to focus on making any sort of plan. Some fighters could act without plans due to intense training or natural talent, sadly Yuno possessed neither. Taken entirely by surprise as Peperit advanced forward the girls thought process drew blank. Watching the blurry motion, her mind filled swiftly with the move preformed last by the other Genin, her body reacting instantly to mimic it. When mimicry was the best form of self defense someone had most likely they were thoroughly screwed.

Bright red hair trailed behind floating like the leaves dangling loosely on the tree behind her as she dropped her body towards the ground striking out one leg. Each breathe audibly catching in her throat Yuno stumbled forward loosing her footing upon the kick's completion. Green stained white and dulled orange as grass smudged her clothing several tiny tears ripping along the fabric before her body ceased rolling. How embarrassing to be unable to stay on one's feet after a simple low kick.

"That could have went better." Yuno spoke at the same speed which she stood and dusted herself off with, slowly. Adjusting the choker wound her neck she shifted her gaze to check on Peperit.
