Lilith entered the dojo hoping it was going to be empty but was surprised to see the Hatake she had run into earlier in the office. Looking at her she noticed that she was reading off a scroll of what seemed to be a bukijutsu style. Not knowing which one it was from how far she was she just knew which scrolls were where. Nodding to herself she decided to do her own style opening and closing her fans she loved the sounds it made. She also enjoyed watching the light shine off the blades of the weapons, it looked so beautiful to her. She walked over to the scrolls near the Hatake and grabbed her fan buki scroll. Looking out of the corner of her eye she saw the scroll the Hatake girl was reading. "Daggers huh? Nice choice for an assassin. So whats your specialty huh?" She had a certain pompous attitude in her speech today as she waited for the girl to answer.

Taking a glance up at the girl previously in the presidents office with her. Still having her knife gripped tightly she rushed it quickly towards the floor lodging the tip of the blade about an inch into the wooden boards. Standing back up she turned fully towards Lilith. She put on somewhat of an evil smirk at the pale girl. "My specialty is killing people for money. Are you sure that you are in the right place princess. I could escort you somewhere a bit safer for a fee." Catching a glimpse at her fans she noticed they were not just ordinary folding fans, a razor sharp blade seemed to encase the end of the entire thing. Realizing that she might have spoke a bit out of line but too proud to retract her statement. Although not dumb enough to lower her guard after insulting someone like a shinobi. As much as she disliked the lot she still respected their capability to kill.
Tiling her boot back a bit so that the heal was resting promptly beneath her hilt of her knife sticking from the ground upside down. She was prepared just in case this lil lady took action.
Lilith looked fully at the Hatake girl. "Ah so you are an assassin." As she then heard the last bit of what she said and closed one of her fans putting it just under the Hatake's chin without touching her. "Sweetheart, I wont be needing any protection, but if I were you I would hold your tounge." As she then leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Or I might have to remove it." As she then jumped back noticing a large waterfall in the corner of the room it was a beautiful piece of artwork for a dojo to have calming yet entertaining to watch. She quickly then nodded her head as she made hand seals making the water in the waterfall turn to ice. With the Ice she then caused the room to be covered in the thick frosty mist in the air watching to see if the Hatake would take the hint. As she then made her mist vision activate as she watched the Hatake.

Obsyria was startled by her technique. "It seems I had you figured a bit wrong. Cold skills, well I see your specialty now." Popping her heal up ticking the dagger into the air and catching it with her right hand. Many options being removed considering her vision was now obstructed with this blasted icy mist. Remembering a training dummy she saw but just several feet from her she made a small dash over to it. Keeping her arms extended she reached it before running smack into the thing. Tucking herself behind it completely hiding herself from the last known location of Lilith. "I've been in plenty of battles before, some in this same situation." Making the handsign she remembered from Academy training. Two of Obsyria step away from the dummy, making sure to give no definitive impression on which one was the real. Both carrying a throwing knife while the bowie knife was now holstered.
One of the versions of Obsyria started in. "You surprise me though." The other followed right after. "You proved you have a spine at least." They walked apart from each other as if circling the location Lilith was last seen. Even if she was no longer there Obsyria had her ears perked and listening intently for any given sound, considering the room was empty and silence was absolute. Not knowing if Lilith could see them or not in this mist she had to assume she could. Continuing to walk slowly on her rotating path.
Lilith saw the two versions of the Hatake girl and smiled slightly. Making no sound at all she quickly made hand seals watching as water rose up from under her feet filling the room up to both of their ankles with water. She watched as the water inched towards the Hatake's feet both versions. Thinking to herself she then decided to use her walking on water technique. while standing on the water she then took a deep breath. Holding it for a few seconds she then exhaled as she then began making hand seals with one hand causing the water to form to ice so as it inched towards the Hatake it was almost turning to ice. If the Hatake was not careful she would be trapped in the ice and unable to move. She stood silently on the ice watching for what the Hatake would do now. Knowing full well she didn't have the advantage here.

These slashes are extremely fast and blinding to those who are not the Hatake or Lightning User in question, thus making this technique special. This jutsu does not require handseals. ☒
Obsyria proceeded to make her patrol with the clone feeling a gentle rush of water around her ankles. Thinking to herself that she had just made a grave error considering they both were now standing in the same body of water. Preparing a raiton technique to channel through the water to everyone in the area but suddenly felt a severe temperature drop. 'She is freezing the whole room!' Jumping suddenly towards the source. The clone however was not so lucky. Her ankles frozen to the floor of the dojo while the ice surrounded her. Throwing the small knife in the direction she last remembered Lilith to be standing.
Obsyria landed with horrible traction. Falling instantly onto her hip while she continued to slide towards her. Extremely cold to the touch the ice sent chills up her spine but it was hardly the place to complain. Drawing out the Bowie life once again she charged it with her raiton chakra causing it to glow a bright white. Snickering a bit to herself she knew that even if she could see her in this mist it would severely blind her. Slicing outward in directions she purposely missed, aiming at things like the ice in front of her to stop her slide and another wave of lightning at the ceiling to cause the blind effect to anyone in the room from wherever they might be watching. Hitting the gash in the ice she managed to stop the slide and return to her feet taking a defensive stance with the knife still holding two more charges within it. Her ears listening intently for any noise that might follow what she did.

Okabe came up to the Dojo, hearing the sounds of fighting in the inside. Okabe looked into the window of the Dojo and spotted the two girls that the President had told him about, Lilith Tetsuga and Obsyria Hatake. They seemed to be sparring and it was going well, Okabe waited and watched from a distance, he entered the building with quiet steps and stood nearby, watching as a higher up shinobi must do doing a spar. The Hyoton user then used a thich fog technique, that rolled into the area and covered it. Okabe sighed and brought his hands up from crossing along his chest. He wore a flack jacket that a Chuunin got, and the special black and white cheetah patterned scarf worn by most Sound shinobi around his neck. Both ends of the scarf were tucked away not visible to be tugged on or pulled.
Okabe looked around, his mouth and nose completely covered by his mask. He pulled off his gloves and stuck his hands into the clay pouches at his sides. If things were getting out of hand, or the spar was taking to long -they did have a mission they had to take care of-, Okabe would have no choice but to stop it, and it would shock both of them to stop their fighting and listen up. He was their new Instructor, Okabe Jaeger, and he was a tougher mind than most. [ 1/5 ]
Okabe's clay mouths on his hands munched away at the clay inside the pouches and succumbed to their own satisfaction as they had stuffed themselves. The clay was being kneaded inside, and the chakra was slowly seeping into it. Okabe performed handsigns similar to Kage Bushin, however added more earthen handsigns, with boar and snake. [ 2/5 ]
He put his hands out infront of him and the clay came out in cones and sat on the ground, then began to shape into a form... the form was, the same as Okabe?! It hadn't fully formed yet, and the gray matter stayed stationary, as Okabe continued to form the earthen Clay, this clone was not rigged to explode, however it was the perfect interventionist. Once the clay clone was complete, if the fight was still going on, he would intervene. He could handle two Genin right out of the Academy, right? As the sounds that came from the fog sounded like the two were having a little too much fun for a UHV takeover country. [ 3/5 ] - Nendo Bunshin no Jutsu [ Clay Clone Technique ]

Okabe stared into the fog the two were fighting in and he knew it was time to end it. Okabe's clay form began to shape itself into Okabe, and it began to shift and change to the extent that he began to get color and texture to his hair and face, then his clothing. The Clone ran into the fry and swatted at one of the kunai's, catching it in his hand, the Clay Clone did not catch it however in the normal sense, it punctured its arm.

The Clay Clone's arm absorbed the kunai and Okabe smiled, the Clone went on and stopped any lethal hits. Okabe spoke "We are headed on a mission, NOW!" Okabe's clone performed a handseal and turned into a pile of clay on the floor of the dojo, It's job was done. The kunai's and other weapons fell out of it to retrieve.

Yon walked into the dojo. Having arrived just a bit later than she would have expected to. But not too much longer. She decided she wanted to practice some medium weapons use. So she picked up one of the wooden training swords and got to work.
[ Medium weapons training: D rank. [1/1]
Yon took the weapon in hand and felt its weight. Stepping out into the middle of the Dojo so she wouldn't accidentally hit anyone. Bringing it up, she swung it to the left, getting a feel for it. She then swished to the right, harder. Pausing before practicing a few basic blocking movements. She stepped back and swung the blade of the weapon from overhead as if to make a slicing motion. With that, she took a soft breath and held the sword down. Walking over to place the sword back where she got it. With that done, she left to go and do some Ninjutsu and Genjutsu training.

XXXXThe trip from the administration building was about a fifteen minute walk back to her home in the apartment complex. Her nerves, rattled and battered, would take awhile to calm from the experience she had been dreading. Ayame didn't do very well with those in a higher authority, her fears were there on the surface even more than usual constantly hounding her like a pack of dogs. She held her headband with a long look at the metallic band that was her symbolic item that made her an official recruit, yet it was also her binding to the village and the UHV.
XXXXIn the hallway, Ayame stood outside the door of her home and pocketed the headband, and the company patch the sergeant had given to her thinking again on what she would be doing later in the village. It was a nice day she thought to herself entering the apartment, the sun was out and clear blue skies with only a few clouds was refreshing for the rest of the night. She lived in a quaint little apartment on the second floor of the complex, the apartment decorated with furnishing reminiscent of traditional Otogakure design with a single spacious room as the main room. She traded her geta for the indoor slippers she kept by the door. Tatami mats made up most of the floor with intricate floral designs, a table away from the kitchenette had the woman's weapon on a small metal rack.
XXXXHer Katana, sleek in its lacquered black scabbard and small adornment near the tsuba. She set the headband and small pouch of her everyday carry underneath the weapon and she went right to the kitchenette. Ayame got a small brew of tea brewing in a iron kettle, a wood stove burning a medium heat as she prepared for the rest of the day with a small meal. Onigiri wrapped in seaweed, tuna sashimi and pickled vegetables were packed away in ellipsoid wooden container fitted with a lid and the wrapped in purple velvet. Soon the tea brew was finished as Ayame was in another room dressing, she came into the kitchenette half dressed and hair down to take the kettle off the heat as she went back to finish dressing.
XXXX"It just had to finish now..." She muttered under her breath, slipping into a new change of clothes and her put her hair up, yet loosely in a modest fashion with her jewelry being last, a few earrings and her ring. Her outfit was cut short unlike her kimono with more of her legs exposed with leggings on underneath. Ayame donned the katana now on her left hip, headband wrapped around the left arm and her shinobi pouch secured close to the katana. The patch she obtained from the sergeant earlier was now secured on the fabric of her short kimono near her thigh. She drank her tea for a few moments, enjoying the simple flavor of her brew.
She smiled to herself then as she flicked blue eyes out the window while savoring her tea. It was going to be a good day she thought to herself.
An hour later at the Dojo...
Steady breathing, even stance and the wear of practice wore already on her as she gripped the handle of the training bokken. A fellow shinobi was her sparring partner for the session as Ayame had been working through her form. A few exchanges went on, swings were thrown out and blows were landed, three attacks flew at a blurring speed as Ayame moved into the attacks. Chakra flowed through the wooden training sword as she deflected each blow with the flat of the weapon, the chakra hardening the material of the weapon to withstand the attacks easier. She grunted for a moment and fought to gain the upper hand as she met the next attack head on into a weapon deadlock, the two closing in with a contest of strength. Hagane no Shunkan - Stage 1
Ayame wasn't necessarily a weak woman by any means, but the man was able to begin overpowering the lock. It came down to a matter of positioning then as the kunoichi pressed forward and stepped inward and into the man's stance. Waiting for the right moment, the maneuver was performed with the bokken pulled away suddenly, drawing the bokken to the opposing weapon and pulled with the guard. The move pulled him off balance with his stumble yet he was quick to recover with as he made a counter with a quick thrust... only to meet air and a whiff of hair and cloth the woman pirouetted with a few steps toward his opposite flank fully exposed. The movement was quick and sudden through a pure exertion of physical prowess only just slower than the Shunshin technique. Hagane no Shunkan - Stage 1
Ayame drew back her training blade and had the right opening with the two handed grip held up at shoulder height, blade edge up and parallel to the ground. Her opponent was already turning about, now enraged with an incoming counter swing as Ayame couldn't help but feel a bit triumphant in her attempt to annoy her opponent. Bringing the weapon around in a counter clockwise motion, she caught the attack with the flat of the bokken that stilled hummed with chakra. Warding it off with the assistance of the reinforcement technique, Ayame parried the attack and moved forward with blurring speed and threw out her weapon in a two-handed thrust with the momentum of the forward step driving more power into the attack. It struck true, nailing her opponent square in the chest. Hagane no Shunkan - Stage 1
Mood: Content
Bloodline:Inactive
Training: Hagane no Shunkan Stage 1 - Reductions in effect.
XXXXThe day carried on as Ayame continued her practice well into the evening. Her opponents were starting to wear her down as she worked through the more straining and complex techniques. She won on average in short exchanges, lost a few and still had room to learn in her forms. After her training, it would be just turning dusk with the Kunoichi sitting with her katana beside her outside the dojo, looking out at the village and enjoying the bento box she packed away earlier that day. She was exhausted, hair a mess and even a bit sore from a few stray hits that had struck her bare shoulders, hands and other parts of the body. Looking out at the village, she was left alone to her thoughts where she left herself in deep thought. Wondering, thinking, making out of what she would do with her career to both the village and the UHV.
Hagane no Shunkan - All of Stage 2
Ayame had to take the defensive route with her next opponent, a bigger male than her last had stepped up to the plate. With a large training sword, he threw out a few swings to test her already with a few parries and dodges to weave in and out. It was no mistake, one misstep and she would be feeling this in the morning, so she had to take it up a notch. [1/3]
She was in the neutral stance for full awareness for what her opponent was to up to. Chakra flowed from the woman then and into her own weapon, visibly humming and flaring to life as she stepped forward as the man swung vertically. In a roof guard, her weapon was gripped with both hands and now she relied solely on the chakra and full confidence in the stance. Sure enough, the blow landed true as the chakra forcibly caught the blow and redirected much of the force in addition to the reinforcement of the sword. [2/3]
The chakra flared off and Ayame grinned at the use of the static block and was quick to turn the tables. Turning the sword from roof guard to neutral, she twisted it counter clockwise and used the momentum gain from the parry to aid in her next moment. It was risky, yet the even the hulking brute couldn't fight against simple leverage. [3/3] Deflection Learned
The moment was right there now as Ayame pushed into the new position of a weapon deadlock. She was a lighter stature than he was but she had the upper hand in both positioning and an enhanced chakra blade still alive with energy yet his blade was also alive with chakra with two opposing forces roared in a silent battle of energy and grunting match of both combatants. [1/2]
The key to winning the deadlock was to take away any possible advantage her opponent would have, and this was accomplished now. Ayame stepped into the man's guard, forced her body forward and slowly but surely she pushed her blade all the way to the base of his, gaining full control then. Where he had strength, she would win with pure dexterity as she began to wrench the sword out of his hands to try and disarm him - yet she actually had another method to try. [2/2] Forward Grind Learned
She pushed into the man then with a sudden pull away to free herself and she backed away. The move angered her opponent more and it had done wonders for Ayame's plan as she braced for the next part. Another blow was thrown by her opponent then, a two handed vertical swing which was telegraphed from last week. 1/2
She spun, turning aside with one foot and her blade whiffed through the air as well as she commenced the next part of the maneuver. The movement was followed with a simple parry, the chakra helping the blow glance off like it was nothing and now he was open for a swift counter attack. One that she took with a forward step and a nimble thrust into the ribcage to end this encounter with him. 2/2 ------------- Hagane no Shunkan Stage 3
The match was over but her training wasn't as she was now outside, setting up the next part of the exercises. Support beams were steadied at a few yards apiece, four beams making a rectangular shape with strands of wire strewn out between them. Balance, a swordsmans greatest asset in combat was the crucial bit of training she would need to do to perfect her forms. 1/4
Ayame hadn't done the thread walking much before, only in theory with slow and deliberate moves on solid flat ground. That was, flat ground and threads were a completely different comparison and the latter would require much more concentration. For as such, Ayame hoisted herself on the first support beam, breathing in and letting her chakra flow through her. 2/4
She moved on the first initial wire with a steady foot, then another and another as the wires flexed with her weight yet they were secure. Movement was slow at first, her balance wavering and concentration sharp as she tried to not use chakra to upright herself. The key was to not use the wall walking technique but to focus purely on balance and movement. 3/4
She was getting better for sure, no longer needing to hold out her arms to balance and even begin a marching pace. Then eventually, she was jogging with a bokken held to simulate the increased weight and asymmetrical distribution. Now finally she went through basic forms of guards; upper and middle and lower, compensating with her feet for balance each time. A grin came across her face, a good balance was achieved. 4/4 Thread Walking
There was a certain approach a kunoichi would need to take in battle at times, where skill and strength would fail and instead just sheer agility and mobility would prevail. It was a concept taught by the school she was regularly training in and it was the next step. The principle was simple, achieve a light stance and strike not with power but with multiple blows -- a useful tactic with poison she thought grimly. 1/3
So, she went into a low stance with the training sword, two handing the grip and holding the weapon out to her side as she let her muscles loosen up. There was no form now, only low in a near crouch like a predator stalking its prey. She moved slowly, getting the feel of the new form and knew it wouldn't deliver much in the way of power. 1/3
A few minutes passed with a practice spar, Ayame moved like a hurricane with her already decent speed now blurring in and out of the clashes. She didn't land heavy hits as she did strike twice as often, though her attacks were far too easily parried as she went on in the fight. She hadn't won the confrontation, being bested out in her partner's strength and had been disarmed as well -- yet she wasn't ready to abandon the concept. 2/3
Instead, true to the technique name, she used her weapon one handed and moved from a neutral stance. She alternated between both low and neutral, even going into middle and used more fluid motions with twirls and pirouettes to confuse her last opponent. This time, she won and with a triumphant victory as she delivered even more hits mixed in with feints. 3/3 Calligraphy.
Ayame went through more training now as she focused completely on the spiritual abilities of the school. One would prove to be useful by extending the reach of the sword. It would be achieved with pure chakra flow and at first would need some concentration to maintain shape. 1/4/
The bokken was held up as Ayame stood still to concentrate on the principle of the technique. To let the flow of chakra extend beyond the normal reach of the weapon and use form manipulation to maintain a solid shape. At first it wasn't working but she stood still to try and concentrate the form even more so. 2/4
Chakra hummed to life as it coursed through the practice weapon, the coloration of Ayame's energy showing as she breathed in and let it flow. It was a wispy essence, curling around like a reaching fog and soon to collect around the weapon like dew. It took awhile but now the form was complete and now sword and chakra were one as a blade with a blue spiritual extension from the tip. 3/4
She practiced with the swings, growing accustomed to the extended reach and the flow of chakra constantly being controlled. It would become second nature the more she'd use it, swinging the blade more and more. But now it was time to move on with her practice. 4/4 Thread Walking
The sword was swung more and more with chakra flowing out with each swing. The extension was a simple idea, but there was an additional step that could be done. So, this was the next step to try and make it work. 1/4
It wasn't working at first, the chakra only formed the extension and whiffed through the air but it remained affixed to the sword itself. Deep concentration was needed to prevail with the twin blade and it followed a seperate method. Instead of extending, it actually made a second flow of chakra follow behind to strike twice so to speak. 2/4
Like a piece of the puzzle, the first step was to correct the flow of chakra and troubleshoot from there. This time it began to falter out when she exerted too much energy, making her take another try at it. So she began to think it was less on the flow but the control of a seperate source. 3/4
This time, Ayame nailed the technique as she exerted her flow of chakra through the entire length of the blade but didn't extend it. Similar to the reinforcement, she put a release on the flow to make it as a shadow. Sure enough she swung into a bamboo post, biting into it and the ethereal blade sliced into it as well. 4/4
So what was the best defense against the inevitable trips? Sure, staying out of the way would work for sure. But what if that didn't work? There was a principle in the school that taught a very basic technique. 1/4
It was as if it was a variation of the wall walking technique but it was a slightly different principle. Instead of pure chakra flow, it managed with anchoring into the ground and reinforcing the muscles that allowed for an unmoving stance and powerful blows. 2/4
So, Ayame went to work with the practice of the technique with a large amount of chakra surging out from her legs. The pressure was intense enough for it to be visible and billowed her clothing slightly from the forceful release of it. She felt rooted down and the focus of raw energy flow through the form as she dug feet in. 3/4
The evident increase in the sword strikes wasn't a lie as with her increased footing, she was able to land deeper cuts into the bamboo posts with the katana. Yet the drawback if there were any was she had to grow accustomed to the anchoring if she wanted to be more mobile. Yet it was a small price to pay, it was another trick up her sleeve as a swordsman. 4/4 ----------------------- Hagane no Shunkan Stage 4
- Focusing the mind and body was not an easy task when in combat. Yet one can achieve outstanding results by stooping into a means of serenity. The school taught a method of clearing the mind of everything but your own goal.
- To those who didn't train in the Shunkan school, the principle would sound ridiculous, yet it was feasible. As a purely physical technique, it really did require mastery of body and mind over all else. Some students found it easy, others had not.
- Ayame was one of the few that had felt it come naturally with her austere way of life. Discipline was one of the key ways to clear the mind and focus more on the flesh to achieve what normally couldn't be. For her, she thought of the clan and her dedication to the village.
- Eyes opened and realization set in as everything seemed to fade out for a moment. There was no feeling then, no regret, fear or content; only a focused mind. Ayame had no thoughts, only a keen observation moment as she drew her sword.
- Body lighter, mind sharp and blade flying like a breeze, Ayame was a dervish on the set of Bamboo posts. She was both faster, stronger and even more attentive than she ever been and no chakra flowed through her body. This was pure flesh and raw talent of focus as she achieved a sort of self peace.
=== 5 Advance of Steel - Not every opponent needed to be cut down, and not everyone was able to be slain. There was a technique taught to those who rose to the advanced stages of the style. It was simple, it was to disarm an opponent.
- There were several methods of how to go about it, and there were many ways it was taught and had become a staple of a lot of shinobi famously known for their pacifism. Be it destruction of the weapon, use of leverage or amputating the limb, all were effective measures.
- The first technique to do was to destroy the weapon itself and remove the threat forcefully. This was the most direct approach but it was the hardest to pull off save for extremely powerful swordsmen. Usually if this was able to be done, it was by those of muscle and with a powerful weapon.
- Secondly was more of skill and less of the breakage of a weapon and that was to use leverage. Less direct and more subtle, the move was just as hard to do in most forms and weapons like daggers. Heavy weapons were much more easier to disarm for sure and this was a primary means of stripping a foe of that huge axe or send a sword careening out of someone's grasp.
- Thirdly was the bodily harm and perhaps one of the more common means in everyday soldier fights. It was the breakage or amputation of the limbs that utilized a weapon and usually varied in a wide arrange of skills. Some more pacifistic swordsmen usually dislocate the wrist and those more aggressive wll simply cut it off. === 5 Disarming - Speed. That was the premise of the swordslinger and some of the masters have perfected it without so much as a blink. But what was it? Simply it was how the true masters of the school that attacked with several blades at once.
- Ayame settled before the set of bamboo posts with her katana at her hip, hand gripping the weapon and she bent down low in a ready stance. There was to be no chakra in this display of kenjutsu. Instead, it was raw speed and strength of the mortal flesh.
- The art was simple, to move with the speed in the limbs and strike with alternating attacks. Shinobi were known for unique weapons sometimes, others could throw off less skilled opponents. Yet, it could also just be a sheer example of intimidation for the simple minded.
- Ayame moved then and drew the sword like lightning, the light flashing off her blade with the setting sun. With a single cut she felled three posts and already her offhand trailed to the tanto knife opposite of her katana. In the same speed, her left hand slashed through another set of posts with the tanto as if she always had the weapon drawn.
- It was quick, dirty and soon the set of posts were all but cut. Ayame had displayed quick switches of both weapons and with keen accuracy as she practiced the rapid drawing and cutting. For her, the skill had little benefit until she would carry a second sword perhaps. Perhaps... === 5 Swordslinger - One of the final techniques was simple and it was to augment the blade's edge itself. It wasn't to reinforce or increase the blade's potential. Neither was it for dealing more than a single blow.
- Instead, it was a technique simply referred to as the Brush Stroke. A technique that drew chakra into the blade that was able to cleave even ninjutsu. A technique based upon spirit, not physical power.
- The concept was to inflict the damage through the strike, the extra energy increasing the penetration. When the technique was gathered for the attack as well, the user's speed was upped. The end result was the quick single stroke slash filled with spiritual chakra.
- Ayame focused on the concept of this technique as she stood before a thick piece of oak set up beforehand. The steel blade of her Katana hummed to life then and she bent down low like a predator. Ayame stepped forward and let loose her most powerful swing combined with increased speed.
- The katana bit into the wood like a hot knife through butter, the blade slicing through as if it hadn't exist. A bright flash erupted off of the blade as the chakra surged through the sword. From one end to the other, the katana had cleanly bisected the entire oak post.
- It was clean, to say the least as Ayame's blade slide home in its scabbard and looked upon her handiwork. Slowly, the top half of the thick wooden post started to slide off. And off it came, slamming to the ground with a clean cut shown with little to no fraying along the edges of the wood. === 6 Brush Stroke - Hydra strike, what a better name than something that alluded to the mythical beast with multiple heads? It was a greater and much more taxing technique than the twin blade. For instead of a single duplicate, the hydra strike replicated several blows.
- The principle was exactly the same as the twin blade technique in that it used the chakra flow of the sword to duplicate. But therein lied the problem, multiplying the duplicate while still maintaining efficiency in the attack. So it was simple in theory but would require a bit more control than she normally used in her techniques.
- So in order to recreate the technique she would need to commence the original technique on the use and further refine it. Ayame drew her sword then and held it out in front of her to concentrate in the neutral stance. Chakra slowly then began to form at the end of the sword and hum into existence.
- The blade was fully alive with the chakra then and the blue energy whiffed about as the woman began to move the weapon. Like smoke, the chakra followed the path of the sword's movement and the woman began to go through different guards. With increasing speed and momentum, she tested the chakra more and then went into the final approach.
- The control was daunting at first, maintaining the chakra's shape and had to keep a hold on the form and constant release with the blade. First one chakra blade followed after the sword and then she forcibly released more chakra. Then more flowed and her sword looked like it was blurring through the air now as she kept the flow intense.
- She threw out a single cut now on a oak training post, letting her katana bite deep into the wood. The initial cut went deep through and followed with the completetion of the swing. Multiple cuts then phased through the wood, thwacking the wood and cutting it deeper and deeper along the same cutting path as the intial swing like an ethereal chainsaw. === 6 Hydra Strike - The Illusory Double was a peculiar technique taught in the school and one of the more direct and specific moves. It emphasized speed over power and it was done with a thrust a majority of the time. Although there were exceptions to be sure and that's where the beauty of it came in.
- First and foremost, the technique would have to begin with a thrust with a two handed grip preferably. Although useful one handed or two handed, Ayame found the two handed variation kept both the speed and some of the power behind a strike. Since the key was a thrust, it also helped to add a quick step and use the entire body to deliver the blow
- The deviation from the thrusts were also cuts, slashes to even blunt strikes with the sword's flat edge or hilt. The first attack was a simple attack to start, to throw out an attack to strike as the student would any other. Now the trick was in the execution of the follow up with the chakra stimulating the body to achieve body flicker speeds that almost rivaled it if not surpassed it.
- The name was not given by the school, but those who have witnessed the speed and sheer skill involved in the Illusory Double's execution. Masters have been known to deliver two strikes as if they spawned a double of themself, striking twice in a blink. Other have been able to effectively dispatch two people of lesser skill as well, thrusting the sword in one and then beheading the second on the follow up chakra surge.
- So where did this come into the training for Ayame after all? She stood before a wood post and held the katana in a neutral stance, feet apart and knees bent. She waited for a moment and had to breath in before she would attempt the technique.
- Stepping into the attack, she threw out a quick thrust for the middle of the post with chakra surging in her arms. The first attack was respectable, going several inches into the wood as she withdrew her blade and blurred momentarily. Across the wood a deep cut exploded across the hard surface and opened where the stab had been into a gaping hole and next thing Ayame was standing still, sword on the side. === 6 Illusory Double

Ayame Araki of the Raigyo Clan, Kunoichi of the Hidden Sound Village.
Ayame packed away her things as she watched over a few people leave the Dojo, she herself getting ready for he own departure. Katana tightened back onto her obi and hair straightened, Ayame rose to her feet and took a slow walk away from the Dojo.
Aizen never been in a dojo, never thought of it either. Especially with his weak boned situation. the area was deserted anyway. Aizen hasn't seen a tai specialist yet. "Well time for me to go".

Shou eventually found the Dojo thanks to the help of some local kids. He stepped though the doors only to find the place to be completely abandoned and filthy. From the layer of dust on everything, he could ascertain that this place hadn't been used in weeks. However, this was optimal for Shou, as he hated training in front of others. Shou quickly figured out where the bows had been kept and set up a training station. The bows ere may have been dusty but they were of excellent quality. "These city kids don't know how fortunate they are." he thought, as he remembers the makeshift bows he would train with as a child.
Shou would start of with a simple move that his uncle had taught him. Grabbing 2 arrows at once he had took his stance, finding his center. He had to land both arrow onto their respective targets beside one another. As he drew the bow, Shou took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Releasing both arrows he hit the targets, but barely. (1/3) Shou retrieved the 2 arrows and took his stance once more. Drawing the arrows back, shou focused on his shoulders and back muscles, keeping them aligned and relaxed. He took another deep breath and slowly exhaled. Releasing the arrows he was much more satisfied with his results. One of arrows had hit center mass, the other, not quite the bullseye he wanted. (2/3) This time shou would leave the arrows in the target, as if to challenge himself to do better. He Dee his bow back and took another deep breath and exhaled slowly. This time however, he felt as though the arrows were moving much slower. He was looking back and forth at each one as they glided to their targets. It was a bullseye son both sides. He wished his uncle was here to see it... Two Shot Spread Rank: C :: Simple (training 3/3)
For this next exercise Shou had to put in some ear plugs that he made out of spare parts around the Dojo. Staring down one of the archery targets, Shou took his stance and drew his bow back as he inhaled. Exhaling slowly, Shou focused on his chakra rotation, slowly filling the arrow with his chakra. Just here he was out of breath he released the chakra filled arrow. The arrow pierced the air with an obnoxious whistle that even the ear plugs couldn't keep out. His shot was off due to the lack of oxygen, he needed to infuse the arrow faster. (1/4) Shou took his stance and drew his bow back as he inhaled. This time he started infusing the chakra as he drew the arrow. Exhaling, he released the arrow and watched as it sailed to its target. That was a good shot but he could do it faster. (2/4) Shou took his stance, but before drawing his bow, he infused the chakra ahead of time. Drawing his bow as he in hailed, he noticed that this was much easier. He exhaled and released the bow. The target hit its mark with precision. (3/4) This time Shou would remove his ear plugs and get a sense of what he was dealing with. However he wasn't a fool, he took the target outside, as not to destroy his ears with the echo of the Dojo. Shou took his stance and drew his bow back as he inhaled. Exhaling he released the already chakra infused arrow. To his surprise this was too loud for him to tolerate. He dropped his bow and covered his ears before he could see the arrow hit its target. Shou opened his eyes to a perfect bullseye. "I'll have to do something about that sound. Maybe custom ear plugs will do?" He thought to himself as he sat there lost in imagination. Wailing Specter Rank: C :: Complex (training 4/4)
Shou stepped back inside and set up for the next technique. He crouched down on his right knee and extended his left leg forward for balance. He then drew his bow back as he inhaled. On his exhale he released the arrow and complete missed his target. This stance would take some getting used to. (1/3) Still in the stance should adjusted his footing for proper balance. He then drew his bow ack as he inhaled. On his exhale he released the arrow and ward as it sailed to the target. That shot was more accurate (2/3) Not wasting any time between shots, he then drew his bow back as he inhaled. On his exhale he released the arrow to a perfect bulls eye. Crouching Stance Rank: C :: Simple (training 3/3)
Shou was reaching his limit in terms of arm fatigue. Drawing the bow so many times was a tough workout but he would not falter. Shou stepped away from his target and focused on his chakra infusion. With his bow in hand, he took his normal standing stance and drew the bow. Shou then began infusing chakra into his legs when he felt as though he was at max capacity, he immediately did one lap around the inner Dojo. (1/4) Taking a breath, he got back to the starting line. Again taking stance and infusing chakra into his legs, he filled them up as much as possible. Once he felt the surge of energy, he did two laps around the Dojo. (2/4) Really feeling the fatigue he took a bit longer of a breather and sipped water, all in less than a minute. Taking stance at the starting line and drawing his bow, he infused the chakra nice more, feeling as though he was getting faster each time. When his legs were full of chakra, he sprinted off for 3 laps around the dojo. (3/4) Not stopping to rest this time Shou immediately went for the starting line and took his stance. Drawing the bow seemed to be a difficult task at this point he was barely able to get his arm fully extended. But he gel his form and began infusing chakra, and when it felt like his arms and legs world burst, he took off for 4 laps. This time Shou would leave a small shockwave in his wake, turning the it's about. As soon as Shou reached the end of the last lap, his legs became like wet udon noodles as he collapsed to to floor. Earning heavily with his eyes closed and a huge smile on his face. He was making progress. Distance Creation Rank: C :: Complex (Training 4/4)
