Naruto: Kaguya struggles

What is the most important part of the body to exercise, boy? Zangetsu asked.

"The hands." Kimimaro answered.

" Wrong it's the legs. Remember immobile ninja is a dead ninja. If you can't move, you can't reposition in time, if you are wounded you cannot escape, and most importantly, you can't reach your opponent. That is the biggest issue when you are trained to be taijutsu specialist. "Zangetsu answered

"What is the second thing you need to exercise? "Zangetsu continued.

"Arms?" Kimimaro said again.

"Wrong again. The second thing you need to have is unbelievable stamina. Most of our fights against our enemies is by chasing them down, then engaging. But if you are tired before the actual fight, what can you do? And what is the third thing you must exercise so you can be better?" Zangetsu said.

" arms?" Kimimaro answered with slight smirk on his face.

"No! Not arms you simpleton." Zangetsu said trough his greeted teeth.

"A-G-I-L-I-T-Y! When you reach your opponent you must be unpredictable.And how can you be unpredictable, if you can't attack from every angle. After that is the mind which we clearly have to work on.

You were smart as a child but today your intellectual ability is horrendous.

After that finally we reach the the strength of the upper body where you exercise your favorite body part which clearly is arms. After all that we can say you reached the fundamentals. for a taijutsu specialist." Zangetsu said.

"You can successfully run to the peak without much issue so that's why you will run with weights I specially made for you." Zangetsu said as he gave him some small weights."You will climb the mountain with them,while they are strapped to your legs. After that, we will go to lunch, afterwards we will continue with stretching. I will show you how, you stretch properly, after that you will start your official jutsu practice. When you finish, you will have one hour nap and then we will continue with extensive weight lifting. Then your scedule will be over. After you reach adequate level in all spheres of your training we will split them up. But that will be a little bit in the future. Now put the weights and start running. I expect you before noon. " Zangetsu said as he went towards his home.

Kimimaro nodded, he put his weight and started his journey to the top.

As the time passed the sun reached the zenith of his eternal cycle of rising and started the second part of the cycle by starting the eventual descent.

Kimimaro completely gassed successfully finally reached his clan. He entered his home and found his grandfather on the table already eating. The table was full of half eaten meals.

"You are fifteen minutes late." Zangetsu said as he continued eating. Kimimaro reached for the water but his hand was swatted away by Zangetsu. Control your breathing first then take a bath and after that you can eat, after all I don't raise pigs ." Zangetsu said as he looked at his grandson.

Kimimaro sighed and started to control his breathing, soon he finally calmed his breathing. After that he went to the bath and quickly wiped his body with a hot towel and some water. When he finished his cleaning he went back to the living area and looked at the table. There was half bowl of rice, a half eaten lettuce and quarter cup of water.

Kimimaro eyes went wide and looked at the table.

"Where is the rest of the food?" Kimimaro asked.

"Ofcorse i've eaten it you foolish grandson." Zangetsu replied.

"Be fater and there will be more food waiting for you." Zangetsu continued with a slight smile on his face.

Kimimaro grumbled but soon he ate all of his food. He wasn't even half full but time waits no one.

His grandfather got him to the backyard and told him to do a kiba-datchi stance

(A/n that is horse stance.)

"Now stand like that for half an hour." Zangetsu said as he got a stick.

Kimimaro looked at his grandfather with narrowed eyes and got to the stance. After fifteen minutes he slowly stood up because of the fatigue. But his grandfather hit him on the back with the stick. Kimimaro cried out pain and stood up to rub his back.

"Did I told you to rise?" Zangetsu said as he circled his grandson. "You have fifteen minutes left." (A/n if you want to know time is mesured by incense sticks)

Kimimaro quickly got back to the stance and stayed as still as possible. After two more hits on the back and one on legs because he started to narrow his stance, finally the time ran out.

"Now do a split. It doesn't matter who you start with because you will do both of them." Zangetsu said. Kimimaro with teary eyes from the pain started to do a male split he almost reached the ground when his grandfather stepped on top of him. Kimimaro cried out of the pain. But he must endure.

"I will hold you like that for ten minutes after that you will do a female split. "Zangetsu said aa he looked coldly towards his grandson.

Kimimaro endured the whole session of pain and finally finished with the splits.

"Now sit down with your legs straightened and try to reach your head to your legs." Zangetsu ordered.

Kimimaro reached towards his legs but he couldn't do it, but his grandfather will make him do it, even if he couldn't. He forced his back downwards bringing his head to the legs that bringed inmersurable pain from his grandson. But he didn't scream out because he learned that when he screams his back was met with a stick. And the beating will not stop until he finaly stopped screaming.

"Endure five minutes like that and I will let you go." Zangetsu said as he forced Kimimaro even lower. After five excruciatingly long minutes. Kimimaro was up again, trying to stand on his legs, but they were a little wobbly.

"Now you will go to your uncle Majima and he will take your first half of the teaching process after that I will finish them. But right now I have some clan business. When he sends you off, go directly home so I can finish your lessons... Oo and bring him the basket full with vegetables." Zangetsu said as he flickered away
