If walking around Tanzaku wasn't boring Tobi did not know what was. His parents gave him a hour to go enjoy him self since he had been training since the morning. It was the afternoon now. Tobi had begun to start thinking of what his father said before he left." What does the earth feel like ". Tobi did not know if that was a rhetorical question or not. He did not know whether hi father actually wanted to know what the earth felt like or what it really felt like. Tobi stopped walking and crouched down to the ground touching it. The earth was hard and cold like its feelings were hurt and it had a heart of steel. Feelings hurt heart of steel that was the answer Tobi instantly thought. His father was asking him the emotions of the earth not what it actually felt like. Tobi realizing he was waking for more than an hour turned and headed towards the training grounds. As he walked threw the gates he saw both his father and mother conversing. He heard part of their conversation which said " do you think he is ready for the wood element ". Tobi knew what the wood element was just not how to obtain it. He saw that his mother sensed him." Tobi you are an hour late for that you have extra training to do " said his mother. Tobi nodded not bothering to talk he then turned towards his father. "Tobi what is the answer to the question I gave you" asked his father. Not wanting to take but he did. In a deep voice Tobi said " the earth feels sad wanting more to love but it has a heart of steel so it can not love " said Tobi.
He saw his father smile which no one rarely saw." The answer is correct. Now take these scrolls and read up on the earth element as you know the water element was your first nature affinity and earth is your second as we have seen with the chakra paper. Today you will learn the earth element " explained his father. Tobi nodded and grabbed the scrolls heading for his spot in the training grounds. A small pond with a large rock in the middle. When he sat upon the rock he felt connected to nature. Tobi while sitting upon the rock opened the scroll the scroll said " Earth Release is a element mostly used for defense. It sometimes require you to thrust your hand to the ground to form a earth jutsu. The best way to learn earth release is to try ad make your hands go threw the ground. Easy enough thought Tobi as he jumped from his rock and down to the ground. Tobi began to rub the ground with the palms of his hands feeling the earth. He felt the rush cold rocks beneath his hand. He felt the immense chakra beneath his hands. Beneath his hands was a living body that gpt tortured each day from the filth that it hid. Tobi began to maneuver the chakra from within him into his hands. He felt his hands go threw the earth as quick as it went threw water. Toni took ihis hands out of the earth and jumped back upon his rock grabing the papers again. The last way to master earth release is to climb a mountain with nothing but your hands. Tobi knew thus was going to be hard as he had no way to gra ahold to something with nothing but his hands. He sighed people would be pressuring him to do it anyway so he had no choice but to.
Tobi went to a large mount in the training grounds and stared at it. He put his right hand on the mountain and gripped the rock. As soon as he raised his left hand he chunk of the mountain rock in his right hand exploded. To much chakra he thought. Maybe he wasn't supposed to use the chakra to climb but the chakra to put his hands in the earth like monkey bars so he will have a way to hold on as he raised his other arm. He thrusted his right arm into the mountain. Then raised his left arm and thrusted it higher than his right arm. He continued to do both steps. In a hour he wasn't the topic of the mountain with his parents also at the top. " You did good but you could have done better. You gppta be quicker than that Tobi. What if the enemy was chasing you and the only choice was to climb a mountain. You can't take a hour to climb a mountain when you only have a mere minutes " said his father. Tobi saw his mother nod while saying she agrees. He wanted to say something but chose not to. His mother and father told him to o home and practice chakra training but Tobi decided to do something other than that. He went the way home but turned and headed to the forest. As he was hopping in the tree he heard his father say " So you snuck off. For that move you are gonna train 24 hours straight no stopping now go home ". Tobi began to not care anymore and his mind snapped from all the pint up anger." I TRAIN EVERY SINGEL DAY NONE STOP AND NEVER ASK FOR A BREAK. I HAVE NO FRIENDS BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS IM A FREAK. DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO TRAIN EVERYDAY AND NOT GETTING A BREAK? NO YOU DO NOT SO LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET OUT OF MY LIFE " screamed Tobi as he left his father dumbfounded. Tobi ran home and gathered all the scrolls he had been studying which was a lot and packed them in his bag and headed towards the middle of tanzaku where the apartments were. He walked into the head apartment and thrower owner some ryo and grabbed the key closest to him. He found the took and went inside nothing special just a oom kitchen and bathroom. It looked like he would be staying here for a long time.
