The hot sun beamed down on Satoru's pale skin. Sweat coated his entire body as his shaky arms pushed his body up and down.
"Come on, Satoru. You only have a few more push ups to go!" Koari shouted.
"197... 198... 199... 200!" Satoru wheezed out as his arms finally gave out and his body flopped down onto the warm grass below him.
"Man, I can't believe you're that tired after only 200 push ups... Ya' know, when I was your age..."
"When I was your age, I could do a 1000 push ups without getting tired... blah blah blah..." Satoru mocked.
Koari chuckled and rubbed his beard in thought. "Well, I think you've done enough strength and endurance training for today..."
"Can I finally train with my Miraigan? I'm tired of push ups, sit ups, squats, and doing a million laps around the village."
"Well, you've been at this for two weeks now, so I suppose we can do some different training." Koari said.
"It's about time!" Satoru shouted, suddenly jumping to his feet with newfound energy.
"The thing you need to focus on most is Chakra Control. You have gotten controlling it in order to perform Jutsu down pretty well, but activating your Miraigan is taking a considerable amount of Chakra. Due to how much Chakra it takes to maintain your Miraigan, it's best for you to focus on cutting down on how much Chakra it takes for you to activate it." Koari explained.
"So, you want me to be able to activate and deactivate my Miraigan a lot of times?" Satoru asked.
"Precisely. If you can activate your Miraigan, let's say, 20 times in one battle, you can use it statistically to only rely on it when your opponent is about to strike. This way you can dodge whatever is coming at you, by activating your Miraigan, then deactivating it right after to preserve as much Chakra as possible. Your battle stamina is your greatest weakness right now. Fix that weakness, and you'll be on an entirely different level."
"How am I supposed to master something like that in a week?"
"Ha! Don't make me laugh!" Koari giggled out. "I'm not telling you to master such a technique, I'm asking you to improve on it. Now, get started."
