Now!
Nai's ki energy bursts out of his body. His pace accelerates by a huge amount. The farmers are rather surprised at this sudden turn of events. Within the next few minutes, the next half of the field is completely plowed. Tired, and quite proud of his work, Nai advances back to the farmers. "Good job," they tell him. "Help us again soon if you can!" "Perhaps," Nai says, as he leaves the island, dives back into the sea, and proceeds to the last area of training.

1.
Shiro arrived at the island and looked around. A man was hoing a small plot of land not far from the beach where he had landed. I might as well start with him.

Shiro walked over to the farmer, who looked up and asked, "You're here for Master Roshi's training, right?" Shiro nodded and the farmer stepped aside. "You're to plow from here," He pointed at his feet, To there. He pointed to the other side of the island. And remember, no tools Shiro's back started aching already.

Despite his annoyance at Roshi's training methods, Shiro got to work. He started by clearing the grass from a small square, about twenty feet by twenty feet. After that he formed the rows in the dirt and went to work on another patch of soil.

In his third square of dirt he encountered a bit of a problem. There was a large pile of dirt already in the middle of the square, and he hadn't even done anything yet. A voice called out behind him. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention! Watchout for the prairie wolves! They get pretty big on this island!" So I noticed.

Courious as to what exactly a prairie wolf was, Shiro climbed to the top of the mound and looked in. Since he couldn't see anything he decided to call out, "Hello? Anything in there?" Half a second later and a large, hairless ratlike creature leapt out of the hole, almost tearing Shiro's face off.

For the next five minutes Shiro was chased by the prairie wolf, which was remarkably fast for something that seemed to spend its entire life in the ground. The thing only stopped chasing him after Shiro used the Wolf Fang Fist on it. Even then it was still conscious, just too dizzy to move.

As Shiro returned to the square of dirt, he couldn't help thinking, If there are so many monsters on these islands, then why do people live here? I mean, Wouldn't it be much easier to simply go somewhere else?

Shiro got back to work, still thinking of why people insisted on living in such a dangerous place. Maybe they hire Master Roshi to take care of these things every now and then. And they apparently luck out whenever someone wants to train under him.

9. After two and a half hours, Shiro was done. All the fields were tilled and airated. All he had to do now was check in with the farmer and he'd be done. With that thought in mind, Shiro started walking back across the island.

Shiro saw the farmer before too long and hurried his pace. He was a bit winded, but not too badly tired. When he reached the farmer he told him, "All done. And not a single tool was used."
The farmer nodded. "Good. Now, you wouldn't have happened to see a large, hairless, ratlike thing would you? He's my daughter's pet and we've been looking for him for the past week."
Shiro paled, but pointed where he had left the prairie wolf. "That way. I think he's still there, too." After the farmer thanked him and headed off to fetch his pet, Shiro practically ran back to the water. How was I supposed to know it was a pet and not a monster?

The turtle swam him to an island, the island huge and very wide. Looking around, he could see a farm house, and a gigantic field that stretched out far and wide. Tereya walked on, leaving the turtle at the shore, and went towards the farm house.

Tereya knocked on the door, and looked inside even, but saw no one. He opened the door, and went inside, due to a tasty auroma he could smell.
"Is that..scrambled eggs?"
Yes! An entire plate of scrambled eggs was placed on the table, with no one to eat it, except him!

Tereya began to eat the scrambled eggs, hunger setting in for the first time in ages, he plowed right through the whole plate and eating every single spec on it.
"Wow..that was good" he said aloud in thought, till someone yelled out to him.
"Hey kid, that was my breakfast!" an old farmer said, standing in the door way looking fumed.

Tereya looked shocked, but he gave an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, you see I was sent here by Master Roshi..."
The farmer held up his hand to stop Tereya and thought for a second. "You're here for the training right?"
The man looked hopefully at Tereya, who nodded rapidly, glad that the man caught on so soon.

"Okay..well your training is out there, you must plow the entire field for me!" the farmer said, with sudden command to his voice.
"No sweat" Tereya laughed. Plow the field by himself? Easy.
"Without gloves or tools..." the man added, causing Tereya to groan, as he let out a yawn.

"Fine..I'll plow the stupid field..." Tereya said angrily, and he was quite angry and bitter.
"All of Master Roshi's training seems boring, and useless...why is it so important?" he thought to himself, as he walked outside, and towards the fields.
Staring at the fields, he couldn't help but feel the pain already in his hands.

Tereya got on the ground, and began working at a fast pace. He quickly plowed the left side of the field in no time, although his hands were covered in dirt and aching. He then proceeded to turn over the dirt, and did the middle section, although this section, much larger, taking quite longer than expected.

After finishing the middle section, Tereya took a break. The Farmer brought him out a few hard-boiled-eggs and a tall glass of milk, which were both hungrily eaten, and disposed of within minutes.
"Thanks..." he muttered to the Farmer, who went back inside the farm, and left Tereya to his plowing.
"Gah.."

By mid-day, Tereya had finished plowing the entire middle section, and last section of the fields. He was proud of his work, and fell asleep in front of the fields, too tired and weak to enjoy fully that he was done with his training, his hands hurting real bad.

The farmer woke Tereya up hours later, and sent him on his way. He was told that his training was complete, and he got on the turtle's back. The turtle congratulated him, and said that his final training was next, and that it would be tougher.
Tereya smirked.
"I can handle it..I know I can.."

1.)
Roshi, Turtle, and Ava arrive here from his isle. Roshi hops off Turtle, walking toward a few unplowed fields. He signals for Ava, who was still crawling up the shore....
"C'mon baby! You're halfway done! Only one more training method after this one!"

Getting to her feet, Ava begins jogging to catch up with Roshi. Now stood beside him, she looks to the fields, her right eyebrow cocked....
"What's this....? What could I possibly have to do here...?"

3.)
Roshi laughs at that, holding his right hand out to her....
"First things first, baby.... Give me those gloves you got on.... You can't use them..."
Ava looks even more confused by that, but just shrugs it off, giving Roshi her gloves as instructed...
"Alright.... Now what...?"

Roshi points out to the fields now, responding....
"Now you go plow those fields to help the famres plant their crops on this island."
Ava nods.....
"Fine, give me one of those plow-thingies or whatever...."
Roshi laughs....
"You gotta do it with your hands only. You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you....?"

5.)
Ava's eyes begin glowing with rage at that... Clearly, she was getting highly frustrated with Roshi and his insane methods of training....
"FINE!! I"LL DO IT WITH MY BARE HANDS!!"
Roshi hops back at that, a sweatdrop rolling down his right cheek....
"A-Ah....! H-Hey...! You said you wanted me to train you..... This is it, baby...."
Ava just throws her hands up in frustration, running out to the field, she drives her hands into the ground, and begins.....

6.)
It hurt like hell, but Ava was so mad, she didn't even care about the pain, powering through it as she plows and plows. Roshi looks on with a smile on his face....
"Yeah! That's it baby! Keep it up!"
She shoots a glare his way at that, and Roshi steps back, holding his hand up to her....
"Alright, alright.... Sorry...."

Moving at a steady pace, she still had much more field left to plow, but she was making good time. She felt her hands bleeding now, and saw some blood being smeered in the plow lines.... The earth was coarse, and there were rocks in it as well. Which she had to dig out and throw aside. Still, she kept it up, only stopping for short breaks.

More and more, Ava had managed to finish have the field. The pain and bleeding only made her rage grow... Making her that much more determined to finish. Her aura begins to flare around her as testament to this.... Continuing on with her training.

Continuing on, Ava only had a fourth left of the field to go. At which Roshi just smiles and nods his head...
"Wow! She's much better than I first gave her credit for.... And that rack..... Oooh-hee-hee.... I could watch her do this all day!"
