[Tai] I need some weights!

As expected, he arrived really fast, almost leaving Feitan in awe. The Dark user then listens to his questions and kneads up an answer inside his head before he speaks.
"As the name suggests, Weights are distinct objects which are usually worn on your legs in order to undergo intense training, for a better result of what you are striving for. In this case, Leg Weights help you develop your running speed and overall Taijutsu power, These weights are strapped around the user's ankles and they wear this for a long time in order to grow accostumed to the weight, so over time it almost becomes your "body's natural weight". After this session, and after the removal of these weights, the user gains a drastic change in his speed as well as overall strength. That's all I suppose, for now." Feitan replied.

"Hmm, I suppose that answer shall suffice."
Yosamu then creates a Shadow Clone of himself who steps directly before Feitan, already in combat stance.
"Now I want you to swing your best kicks at this guy, both free form and technique wise. Lemme see what you're made of."

Now it was time to put his tiny, but tough frame into actual use. Being shorter than usual had its own benefits. As Yosamu steps away in order to give him and the clone some space, Feitan pins his feet on the dirt in order to have a complete support of his weight on his full throttle towards Yosamu's clone, in such a speed that would require a great deal of attention to track. Slightly before entering the close combat range, Feitan had already taken his assaulting stance, spinning furiously while simultaneously extending his right leg forwards in order to deliver a devastating spinning back kick located at the clone's stomach. The sheer impact of Feitan's limb and the body part would send the clone several meters away, struggling to keep up their feet. By this time, Feitan landed softly on his knees for a final round, which would translate as the finishing blow. With a great speed he'd dashed forward and perform a series of low and high kick in the most crucial parts of the clone's body, such as the face, chest, stomach, neck etc. This would finally make him poof away.

Seeing the tiny fellow advance on him so furiously the clone was almost taken back. With the spinning back kick coming in hot the clone simply used the outside of his left palm to divert the kick down and away from its stomach. Feitan would find himself suddenly spinning in the opposite direction he had intended while his foot dug into the dirt by the clone's feet.

"That was a stong kick you had there. Tell me what drove that force, and how you came into possession of such strength."
OOC: Explain to me the dynamics of a simple back kick, such as momentum and weight, and how they all come together in leg based Taijutsu.
The defensive move performed by the clone had blocked Feitan's assault; now he was spinning the other way around however he managed to completely stop by with the aid of his hands put on the ground. He'd then turn back around as Feitan listened to what Yosamu said.
"Before that, I liked your composture and overall how you dealt with that kick. It's true that Being relaxed and thinking properly in a battle makes everything better. Now, onto your request, I put a great importance on my "departure" towards my target. I gathered all the necessary body strengths to have a comfortably fast and quick travel, and slightly before I entered the short range, I planted my pivot feet firmly on the ground. This allowed me to have a really strong momentum for my back kick, whose power only increased with the additional spinning. All this process got stopped by a relatively simple move of yours, though."

"Hm, it seems your Taijutsu sensei did prep you on the bodily motions required for effective combat. But yes, momentum does help garner force behind blows, as you just did by spinning first before kicking. Of course, to every force there is an equal and opposite one which is why I was able to defend so seamlessly."
The clone then walks over to Yosamu's satchel and came back with two strips of what looked like bulky scrolls. Tiny straps dangled from both ends of each strip as well as tiny seal markings. It was the infamous Leg Weights.
"These bad boys here, are called Leg Weights as you know already and behave pretty much like how you described earlier. Now, you given me the theoretical POV, its time for practical!"
The clone then tosses Feitan the weights. He should know by now what to do with them. After throwing the weights the clone would adopt the very same battle stance it did a few moments ago.

Feitan's answer had apparently been on point, and he waited for further instructions. As the clone went in order to pick up the "scrolls", Yosamu elaborated professionally on Feitan's explanation. Before he realized, the clone had arrived with the notorious Leg Weights. Moreover, he tossed them as they weren't any big deal. The moment Feitan caught a hold of the weights, he was immediately directed downwards due to the weights but managed not to fall. He made the weights slightly bounce on his palms as he took normal stance again, before crouching down and strapping them around his ankles.
"I guess my physical isn't really suited for such weights, but that will change over time definitely." Feitan mumbled, not sure whether Yosamu heard. He then took notice of the clone adapting to the same stance earlier. Feitan with the motionless face of him got ready to dash forward, but suddenly his body was not reacting to his orders. Everything was moving except his legs, it almost felt like he was stuck. With a great deal of effort, Feitan managed to move an inch, and then he did the same with the other leg, and his performance would only be more fruitful as he progressed forwards, to only let Feitan to deliver a very lackluster kick towards Yosamu's clone.
"..."
Feitan dropped on the ground to catch his breath as sweat began rolling over his tiny face. He then got up again; maybe he was being shameless. He had to do anything to get better at this... No matter what.

Yosamu stifled a chuckle and resorted to a broad smile while the clone flat out burst into a sonorous laughter upon seeing Feitan struggle with his new toys.
"Haha, oh man! That is...that is comedy gold, I say." The clone wiped a tear from its eye. "Okay, I'll tell you what, midget. Run around for a while, sleep, eat, bathe, live with these weights on for exactly one month while your body gets used to this new weight. Then, I want you to come back to me after that one month is up and I'll continue the second half of your training."
The clone then disperses in a cloud of smoke to reveal Yosamu taking up his satchel and throwing it over his back. He was getting ready to leave.
"Sounds good?"
Well, it was no big deal. Everyone had their bad moments. Feitan did not speak to Yosamu but rather disappeared into the woods, even though slowly. Now, it was time to grow accostumed to a whole new life for one single month. Then, it was his turn to make fun of the clone, if he still would be around.
Arriving at the old Dojo, Yosamu formed a clone again, it appeared to be just like the last one.
"Sup, Feitan, how the weights treating you? Good? Bad? Show me. Take them off and put some manners on my clone here who so rudely mocked you last time."
The clone smirked, giving Feitan a middle finger, "I wanna see you try, pretty boy."

The clone smirked, giving Feitan a middle finger, "I wanna see you try, pretty boy."
Feitan had turned into a new image; his scruffy beard all over his chin and cheeks, and dark eyebags formed beneath his tiny eye sockets. However, the arrival of Yosamu had seemed to light up his mood drastically. He was honestly getting sick and tired of this miserable life in the forest. He had long since "tamed" the weights, but the life conditions this forest provided were terrible. It seems like that good life in Iwa had made Feitan lazy a little bit.
Upon entering the Dojo, Feitan swiftly jumps softly on the floor and confronts the clone of Yosamu. He wouldn't fall for that middle finger of his, he could put that up his ass though! Feitan didn't show any sign of irritation as he was mostly collected during battles. But now, it was finally the time to take these weights off. Unstrapping them, the Dark user lifts them up with each of his hands and lightly drops them on the ground in order to do no harm to it. One leg swing was all it took for Feitan to realize that his overall kicking power and speed had increased like x10 times. Oh boy, the clone was in a pickle. Using his left leg as a spring, Feitan appeared right in front of the clone in an blink of an eye. With that same leg he'd used as a spring, he thrusted it right into the clone's gut, knocking him out literally in seconds.
"I waited one whole month for this moment."

"Guhuhu!!" The clone spat a globule of blood on Feitan's knee as the kick connected.
Yosamu winced, "Oh damn, that was a good one. Don't you dare disperse, else I'll be taking all that--"
"You still....ain't...shit." The clone told Feitan in its last words.
As if one last attempt to douche out someone, the clone dispersed after flashing a blood soaked devious smile. All the pain and knowledge of its experience suddenly flooded back into Yosamu's body and he gripped his stomach with a hand.
"Good...good work, Feitan, I'm proud. Well, it appears you've understood just what the Weights are and what they can offer you in terms of fighting and movement ability. Take care now, and be sure to drop by some time with coffee. I love coffee." With that Yosamu sat down in a cross legged pose and began meditating.
Training was finally done.
