Ray does another pushup. He collapses onto the ground. He's sweaty and tired. His breathing is sporadic and heavy.
Clone: Is that all you can do soldier?! Get up! You only did 900! Where's the last 100?!
Ray: I can't do it. My body wasn't made for this.
The clone takes off its dark sunglasses and kneels down near Ray.
Clone: I don't want to hear you say you can't, soldier! You said you could only do 500! Now you're at 900! You can do this! Believe in yourself, soldier! Do you want to become strong?! You want to become Hokage?! Then work yourself to death for it!
Ray puts his hands on the ground. He barely manages to do another pushup.
Ray: I can do this!
Clone: That's the spirit soldier! Now go, go, go!

Kenzo throws a right hook. Son Goku punches Kenzo in the stomach. Kenzo falls back. Kenzo rolls once he hits the ground. He lands on his feet. Son Goku looks down on him to see a ball of lightning in his hand.
Kenzo: Lightning Style: Chidori!
Kenzo presses the lightning ball against Son Goku. Son Goku takes the hit and kicks Kenzo back.
Son Goku: You're getting more use to your speed-
Kenzo drops to one knee and winces in pain.
Son Goku: But you can't take hits. Are you really willing to trade hits if you will inevitably lose?
Kenzo: Lightning style: Kosen!
A beam of lightning fires at Son Goku.
Son Goku: Last ditch effort? Earth Style: Mud Wall.
A wall of mud appears in front of Son Goku. The lightning hits the mud wall and does nothing.
Kenzo: I thought lightning was strong against earth!
Son Goku: Your abilities are far below mine. Would I have made an earth wall if you would break through it?
Kenzo: I guess not.
Son Goku: You're getting stronger. Maybe not skillswise, but your power is strengthening.
Kenzo: I need both to be better. I'm already behind.
Son Goku: You are trying to catch up faster than you can. Don't try to exceed your capabilities.
Kenzo: What if I can't catch up in time?
Son Goku: You die, or you will need to use me.
Kenzo: Only seems like I have one option if I don't want to die.
Son Goku: Train.
Kenzo: I was going to say use you.
Son Goku: Use me to train.
Kenzo: Then let's get back to it.
Kenzo runs at Son Goku.

Nanami is still slapping the water in the river. Ayame walks off to go do something else. Ayame returns with food.
Nanami: Are we eating?
Ayame: No, I'm eating.
Nanami gets frustrated and turns away from the water.
Nanami: This is stupid. I can't even take a break to eat?
Ayame: Have you mastered it yet.
Nanami: No.
Ayame: Then you don't eat.
Nanami: I've been slapping water for hours. I'm hungry and annoyed. I hate this.
Ayame: Whining waste time that you could be using to master hitting that water.
Nanami: How do I master it? You just told me to hit water!
Ayame: Do you want to see if you have mastered it?
Nanami: Yes!
Ayame stands up. Nanami does the same.
Ayame: Attack me again.
Nanami runs at Ayame in a zig zag. She ends up at the right side and punches at Ayame. Ayame pushes Nanami's fist to the side and puts her foot out. Nanami trips over Ayame's foot and face plants into the ground.
Nanami: I didn't master it…
Ayame: No.
Nanami pulls herself up.
Nanami: Do I have to go back to slapping water?
Ayame: Did you master it?
Nanami puts her head down.

Kichi walks up to the new wall that is almost finished. Kichi sees the Hyuga clan leader looking at the workers finishing the wall.
Kichi: How is the wall almost done? This should have taken months.
Hyuga Leader: This is the most important thing the village is doing. Every single ninja in the village is working on it.
Kichi: How can we pay for that? Those ninja are usually out making money for Konoha.
Hyuga leader: They will only be off of ninja duties for a few weeks. Then the tournament will start.
Kichi: We'll have less ninja to do those jobs!
Hyuga Leader: Everything will be fine. Are you really questioning me Kichi. I am Koshiro Hyuga! The Hyuga clan leader!
Kichi: Yeah, sorry for opposing your great words.
Kichi walks away.

Renjiro and The Monkey are traveling through a grassy land.
The Monkey: Damn, you're a good fighter. Mixed with my unparalleled intellect makes us unstoppable.
Renjiro: What intellect?
The Monkey laughs.
The Monkey: Good one! You know I'm the smart one. Anyway, next we are going to an important place.
Renjiro: Where?
The Monkey: I'm not telling.
They continue to walk in silence for a minute.
Renjiro: You kind of remind me of an old friend.
The Monkey: There's no one like me.
Renjiro: You'd be surprised.

The day has turned to night. Nanami is still slapping water. Ayame is eating in front of Nanami again.
Nanami: Not very ladylike of you.
Ayame: Don't turn around and you won't have to see me eating.
Nanami looks at her reflection in the water. Her reflection changes into Ayame. Nanami continues to hit the water. Her hand hits the image of Ayame. Nanami gets a big smile on her face. She turns around.
Ayame: Want to test it again?
In less than a minute they are both standing. Nanami runs at Ayame the same way she did before.
Ayame: Again?
Nanami throws a punch. Ayame moves Nanami's fist. Nanami uppercut's Ayame in the stomach. Ayame jumps back.
Ayame: You almost ruined my kimono.
Nanami: Did I do it?
Ayame: Yes you passed. It took you a while though. I thought it was going to take you a lot longer to get control of your strength.
They both sit down at the food.
Nanami: I didn't realise you had a picnic here.
Ayame nudges Nanami.
Ayame: Of course I do. I wanted you to eat with me, but you need incentive. Eat up because we're training just as hard tomorrow.
