Power Training

When Riku woke up he put on some loose, baggy clothes and immediately began to train. He first wanted to train his physique as he didn't know any jutsu's or even had much chakra, to begin with. If it wasn't for the original Riku's parents to leave behind a chakra-gathering scroll, he wouldn't even know where to start on that anyway. As for chakra control he wanted to wait till he had a reasonable amount of chakra and access to the shadow clone jutsu before he worked on that.

As the shadow clone will pass on their learnings back to the body that would just make things a lot easier anyways. So Riku started his sprints around the village. He wanted to go around 50 times as a first-time warm-up. Around his 14th lap, he saw another kid running not that far behind him. It was Might Guy the only kid that failed the entrance into the ninja school. Of course, as an avid fan of the Naruto anime in his past life, Riku knew that Might Guy would eventually become the person who almost killed 6-paths Madara in the future with nothing more than pure hard work and dedication. So Riku wanted to go talk to him, but as he was turning around he heard Might Guy scream,

"I WILL SURPASS ALL WITH JUST TAIJUTSU!".

Riku was taken aback for a second because of this kid's tenacity and will to be great and to be acknowledged. By the time that he got to Guy, he had already chanted that another 3 times.

"Hey, are you also practicing to become a ninja?" Riku asked him.

"Yes, I'm Might Guy and I dream to be an excellent ninja with just taijutsu!"

Riku smiled at this point thinking of the future and his achievements as an Elite Jonin ninja.

"That's great! I'm Riku Tanaka and dream to be the strongest ninja ever"

"Wow! Another civilian ninja like me! I haven't seen another civilian ninja training this early before." Guy stated.

"Yeah, I'm trying to improve my body before the Ninja School in 2 weeks."

"Really! I'm also training for the Ninja School, but to get accepted in the school first is my current goal."

Riku thought for a moment then said "Do you want to practice together from now on?"

"Sure! That would be great, having a rival is something that every ninja needs!".

And with that, they stopped talking and began trying to outdo the other and finish 50 laps the quickest. After they did that then they began doing 500 sit-ups, 250 push-ups, and 1000 kicks on a tree stump. By the time they were done with all that it was time to eat some lunch. Riku's aunt is a civilian and makes a decent wage at a flower shop owned by the Yamanaka. So Riku had some spending money for food while Might Guy's father who is known as the Eternal Genin Might Duy doesn't make all that much money.

Knowing this Riku decided to help Guy out and buy him some noodles at everyone's favorite Ichiraku ramen. After they finished eating they sparred for the remainder of the day. Riku having the mindset of a 25-year-old is the only thing that helped him win 5/6 of the sparring matches. Being as Guy's strength was substantially higher than Riku's. After wrapping up for the day and saying goodbye Riku went home and trained his chakra amount in his room before bed. Riku was ready to start the brand new life and the new adventures that awaited him!
