[Tai] Leg Weights with Kladdy

What stood in front of Velvet was a relatively short and ominous looking young man. The way he appeared in the training field was rather unimaginable, as he just popped up into existence and not leaving you a chance to think how he'd arrive. Talk about fast, after all. The spiky haired ninja Feitan confronted his village mate Velvet in the usual tone he speaks when around with her.
What are we doing here again? His face expression twisted a little bit, as to show a comical annoyance in regards to the training they were about to do. Not expecting an answer to the rhetorical question of his, Feitan continued without an interruption. Tell me, what do you know about these special equipments called Leg Weights, and how are these useful in a battle?

Velvet wastes no time and quickly answers back. "Leg Weights are a special kind of weights that are made through special seals or Fuuinjutsu if you will that are strapped to the wearer's ankles. These weights are designed to help improve the speed and the Taijutsu capabilities of the wear. However, because they are not normal weights and are designed to help with ones speed and Taijutsu, one must first over come or well get use to the weight of them before one can begin to see progress. In battle with the new found speed one will be able to close distances much faster than regular shinobi who don't have them, and makes one much more harder to track as well. And of course for people like us it makes our unique ability all the more dangerous since it is the most effective in close quarters."
It seemed she knew what she was talking about. Feitan nodded as he motioned that he didn't have anything major to add, because Velvet had covered most. Now it was time to put her through the stressful training. He makes a shadow clone and the clone enters short range of Velvet.Now, perform a freeform kick or any manoeuvre you are capable of against my clone, and explain to me what really drove that kick to be effective and successfully damage your opponent.
It would seem the training has begun. Upon the creation of the clone and it entering her short range Velvet lowers her body in a crouching position while shifting her left leg in front of her while her right behind her. With most of her weight on her right leg she uses this to push off allowing her to dash forwards towards the clone. Nearing the copy of her partner she doesn't go for any fancy attack, but rather a simple kick. With her left leg planted down in front of her while using the momentum she had built up from running she uses her left foot as a pivot to turn her body to the left, while simultaneously extending out her right leg. As she pivots and extends her right leg, all of her weight and the power of her momentum travels up through her left leg and up through her right giving it the power and speed it needs to land a hit against the clone and do the necessary damage that is needed. The kick would be just enough to knock the clone back, but not enough to send it dispersing, as there is no need for that. This was just enough to give what Feitan wanted and to allow an explanation of what is going on during the process of the attack. "For a kick like this to be effective one must make sure that they have enough momentum and force behind it to allow it to do any real damage. In my kick when I went to perform it I used my left foot as a pivot while extending my right leg, and used the momentum I built up from moving in close to your clone, and the weight I have on my pivot foot to do the necessary damage. When the kick was about to take place all that force built up would travel up from my left leg and into the limb I was attacking with which was my right leg."
Feitan commended both her kick and the explanation of her move. But now the most important part comes. Feitan tells the clone to enter short range again, as damaged as he was, he probably did not need to worry about the next kick Velvet will be performing. Feitan crouches down and slams his hands on the ground, generating a puff of smoke as he does so. Soon as the smoke goes away, Feitan is seen holding a pair of Leg Weights in his hands. He walked over to Velvet and instructed her to apply them on her ankles. "Now then, perform the very same kick with these on..." Feitan cracked a smile involuntarely, remembering his own training, "... if you can, that is."
Velvet was given a pair of weights to strap to her ankles and then asked to perform the same move again. Grabbing hold of the weights she puts them on and almost instantly she could feel the extreme weight pressing her legs down. "So this is what they feel like." It was already difficult for her to move with these on, but that didn't stop her from pressing on. Getting back in her crouching stance Velvet gets ready to give it her all and dashes forwards towards the clone the same as before, but this time the weight strapped to her caused her to move much slower. Still not backing down she enters close range(reaching distance) from the copy and goes in for the same kick, but as she does so the extreme weight attached to her right ankle made it quite difficult to lift up her right leg to perform the kick. The kick she performs was slow and barely and force behind it where the second it hits the clone all it would do was nudge him a bit. It would seem that it would take a quite a bit of time for her to get use wearing something as heavy as these. "Tch...I knew they would be heavy but nothing like this."
As expected, the pressure the weights had put on her overall performance were just too much. The kick barely scratched the clone as he just stood there. He then gives out a mocking laugh and disappears into a puff of smoke. Feitan then approaches Velvet before explaining to her what she was supposed to do in order to have full mastery over these. "Alright, see that little forest over there?" He pointed. "There's a medium sized clearing with a grassy plain and full of training dummies, specifically 200 of them. In the matter of 30 days, I want their heads to be cut off their bodies in the most clean cut you can manage. Of course, I won't provide you any food either, you'll have to live by yourself for a month straight, in total isolation." Feitan grinned. He then disappeared without any other word.
The mocking laugh and the clone dispersing before she could do anything really set her off. With this anger Velvet slowly makes her way to the forest to find this area filled with training dummies and plans to take her anger out on every single one of them. By the time she found the spot he spoke of the sun was already beginning to set, but that didn't matter to her one bit. Walking up to the first dummy she takes her stance and begins to kick it over and over hoping to achieve what she was told to do. She would continue this until the one month has ended.
It had been a long month but it was finally over and it was time to have the weights removed. Coming out of the forest where she was last told to go, she could be seen coming out walking normally unlike how she was seen walking incredibly slowly just a month ago. Making her way out she could see already see Feitan waiting for her to finish up the training. Stopping about five meters or so from him she puts on a grin and speaks out. "Lets do this"
Feitan made a clone whilst giving him a command to enter short range of Velvet. He then told Velvet to take her weights off and see the result of her training by attacking the clone. Should the clone be alive afterward, it means she hasn't been working that hard. So it was only natural Feitan expected Velvet to go all out in Tai
Velvet bends down and begins unstrapping the weights and holds them in her hands. The moment they are removed something felt different for her, something good. With a smirk on her face she dashed towards the clone now with a new found speed with still both weights in her hands. As the distance closed Velvet appears to the right of the clone and uses one of the weights being in her right hand, and hits the clone with it at full force while letting it go. The speed combined with the weight of the weight she just used and the force behind it would send the clone flying away. The moment the clone is hit and sent flying, Velvet chases after him to where she runs past him just a bit to perform an upwards spinning kick to knock him up into the air. Thanks to her training with the weights for a great deal of time the kick she performs would now do even more damage than it would have before she had the weights. With the clone now flying upwards brutally hurt, Velvet then jumps up into the air rising above the clone and throws the second weight down at him crashing into his chest, which would immediately send the clone plummeting back down towards the ground where upon impact would cause the ground to cave in from the immense weight ontop of the clone.
