Fitness extra class, Preserve Saturday Noonish

Yondaime sat at the entrance to the thick forest waiting for Cameron and Sakurazaki. They were the only two students to sign up for the extra training exercise but he was really okay with that. Yondaime was still a little unsure about teaching classes that large and having two students fit him just fine. He was honestly glad that they had signed up for the extra help as well, he'd been so distracted the past few weeks he wasn't even sure where people stood anymore, he'd have to speak with his TA's to see what their thoughts were later.

The blond yawned slightly as he waited for them formulating in his head what they were going to do.

Cameron showed up for the class. "Good day, professor," he greeted, hoping desperatedly that this class wasn't going to involve walking on your bare feet around the preserve. He'd done that before, thank you very much.

Yondaime waved with a bright smile and stood up from where he'd been sitting. "Good Day to you guys too." He said as he brushed off his coat. "How are you guys doing today?"

"Glad it's weekend," Cameron said with a grin.

"The weekends are something to look forward to," he nodded and stuck his hands in his pockets. "So as far as the chakra goes, where do you think that you're running into trouble?"

Cameron scratched the back of his neck. "The whole thing? Isn't that... New Age stuff?"

"New Age?" Yondaime had to think about that for a second. "I suppose it's new to you, hence why I'm teaching it. My village has been using this sort of thing for generations though." He paused another moment.

"But it does work, watch." He grinned and walked over to one of the trees, taking a deep breath and focusing he began to walk up the side of it to a low hanging branch and sat down. "See!" Yondaime beamed happily as the branch creaked under his weight only a moment before it broke sending the Hokage crashing to the ground. "Ow."

Cameron winced in sympathy and quickly moved to give Yondaime a hand. "You alright, sir?"

"Yes, I'm okay. I'm tougher than I look." He chuckled blushing from embarassment as he slowly got up on his own. "I probably should have checked the branch first to make sure it was stable."

Sparring with John last night had jarred Setsuna out of her strange little funk of not wanting to be involved in any of this anymore pretty successfully, so she'd been looking forward to the extra class all morning, and took care of her energies by ~~handwavily~~ spending it on her sword forms in the gym, and still had a lot of energy to spare. So she was warmed up and ready to go.

He waved to Sakurazaki as she came up, giving his a warm bright smile. "Glad to see you both here."

Setsuna nodded, smiling softly back. "Glad I could make it. What did you have planned for this class today, sensei?"

Yondaime cringed and groaned as he rubbed his neck, slowly getting up from where he fell (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1094284.html?thread=61663884#t61663884). "Ahh not a whole lot honestly, I just wanted to work with you guys one on one to help you guys understand the chakra."

"Are you sure walking up the side of trees works for everyone, sir?" Cameron asked.

Setsuna winced at the fall, biting her lip a little. She'd seen a lot worse and Yondaime-sensei seemed to be shaking it off pretty well, but she'd still felt bad for being a little amused by it. "I think it's just the different terminology that's been throwing me through a loop. It all seems the same as what I'm used to doing, but I can't be sure because we were a little...broader in naming it all, I suppose? It's all chi to me..." She smiled, as if she found it a light joke.

Yondaime laughed a little and rubbed his neck. "I've been finding that the different terminology has been throwing people off, even me." He admitted and turned to Cameron. "Well no, there are some that just can't use it. But that's what I'm here for to really test you," he explained and pulled a stop watch out of his pocket as well as a kunai figuring since they weren't actually in the school he could have one on him. He marked a line on the ground where they stood and then walked about 100 yards away and marked another line. "I want you to sprint this just as you normally would."

"Just sprint?" Cameron repeated and shrugged, getting into position.

Setsuna glanced between the two lines. Sprint? Easy enough. And 100 yards was nothing. She set herself ready at the line, waiting for Cameron to probably do the same, and then watching Yodaime-sensei for the signal to go so he could time them.

Yondaime nodded and set the watches nodding for them to start and testing their time. "Okay, now do it again and focus your chakra into your feet as you do."

Focus your...there wasn't enough time for too much focus in such a short sprint like this, which Setsuna had cleared very quickly and effortlessly in just a bit over eleven seconds.

Cameron had no clue how he was supposed to 'focus his chakra into his feet' so he just set for sprinting towards the next line. He did fairly well.

Yondaime chuckled and shook his head. "Now for focusing your chakra into your feet. Let me see if I can show you. Do you guys remember the hand formations from the handout?" He asked

"A bit," Cameron said sheepishly. He just hadn't had the feeling that it had worked much.

Setsuna nodded, although she was mostly unsure of how hand formations would be translated to be used by the feet.
