ChigiriSonozaki Genin > Tamer/Bukijutsu > "The Black Rabbit"
Chigiri was caught off guard as she was thrown backward by the sudden upheaval of the earth beneath her feet and she slid backward, taking a knee to brace and prepare herself for her next maneuver. Though as Belamos jumped into the air and threw down the ball of fire at them, she could not help but spit with rage, "Coward..Come back here so I can hit you!" She was certainly full of confidence, but alas, that might not matter in the end result, but all she could do was try. As for stopping the attack, she couldn't, but she had one more ace up her sleeve before all her cards were on the table.
She kicked off the ground instantly, moving at surprising speed by the aid of the Shunshin no Jutsu, otherwise known as the Body Flicker Technique. Chigiri had learned this to augment her bukijutsu, but in this instance, it would allow her to dodge the incoming fireball and place her slightly above Belamos unless countered, using the brightness of the flames to attempt to conceal her movement until it was too late. "I won't be denied, Sensei! GIVE ME THAT FLAG!!", the Black Rabbit yelled. Then with the momentum of gravity calling her to the ground, she sliced outward with her blade at the flag once more on Belamos's waist hoping to achieve this mission on time, or at least give him all the hell he deserved for putting their squad through such a daunting an impossible mission.
Meanwhile, Kuro, who had been thwarted in her own effort by the spinning circle of flames had suffered a small injury as she had caught the pole end of the spear and had been knocked away. Upon seeing the flames, the rabbit instantly retreated and went into hiding until it's mortal enemy was no longer in the area. Chigiri knew well that her companion could not handle fire, let alone men, and that Belamos was the animal companion's mortal enemy incarnate. She could not blame the large, black, lapin from hiding from what it perceived as imminent danger. The rabbit was likely going to feel some bruising in the morning regardless.

"Power resides where men believe it resides....
ABelamos’ strike against the tendrils stung more than Akura could have imaged; it didn’t hurt, describing the sensation as pain wouldn’t have been accurate, but he couldn’t have guessed that having the tendrils severed would result in any sensation, much less an unpleasant one that almost caused pain. Akura grunted and took a step forward. His plan was to go head to head along with Chigiri while Totoko did whatever it was she was doing, perhaps the two of them could overwhelm him and steal the flag away. It was wishful thinking though. Before his train of thought was fully realized, he felt a sharp pain hit his abdomen and subsequently knock him off his feet. He was lifted, with eyes open wide, looking around for the source of the pain: a stone spear. He had been so lost in thought that he did not feel the vibrations of the earth transmuting into a spear of stone and then flying toward him. Stupid, stupid stupid. He thought, if he would have been in another situation, he would have hit himself in the head with a closed fist; but now, he needed to act. He moved his hands to make hand signs and a horrible shot of pain hit him. The spear had done more harm than he thought, but he pressed forward, and weaved a couple of signs, focusing his chakra onto the tendrils once again. They shot from his left hand toward the spears that Belamos had created. The tendrils wrapped around it and in one strong jerk, Akura flung himself toward Chigiri as Belamos jumped and began to focus his chakra. This action by Belamos resulted in him harnessing… the sun? The damned sun. What the hell, he thought, turning to Chigiri. “I don’t think we have much longer…” He said, referring to this test they were on; Belamos’ jutsu seemed to be the technique he was going to use to end it. Akura, did not want to fail, and he assumed Chigiri didn’t either.
Seeing her jump, he knew there wasn’t much else he could do. His tendrils would not reach Belamos before his sun hit the ground, so there was no point in doing that. Instead of running to seek cover, Akura moved his tendrils to wrap around his body to protect his skin. Once fully wrapped by the metallic tentacles, his body fell limp on the ground, getting hit by the wave of fire and heat. He could feel the tendrils heating up, burning against his skin as their temperature got higher and higher. Once he judged the technique had past, he unwrapped himself and let his tendrils rest on the ground to cool off. His chest was in pain from the strike of the spear and his entire body was searing hot. He could barely move and wished that the situation would have been slightly more favorable to him. Alas, this was the hand that he had been dealt; while there was more he could have done, the blame for the groups' failure partially fell on him for not doing it.
__ Shigeo shrugged and dipped his head slightly, "Ya got me, ya got me." It was a pretty darn good burn on Kazama's part. Compared to his usual content, anyway. Shigeo watched how Belamos was literally dropping the bomb on the rest of these sad sacks trying to fight him and decided to wrap this up with a sort of heedless suggestion to his peers, "Surrender now, or prepare to fight! Well, I mean... more than y'already are..." Honestly, this was a bit of a drag. For the time being, Shigeo just about faced and looked for another corner of the room to do his own thing until they could get the Sun God's attention for a moment.
Shigeo stood further off and away from the ongoing fight between Belamos and the others. Honestly, he wouldn't have minded one way or another what Kazama decided to do right now. He just needed to get a moment to just think for a bit. Shigeo's thoughts carried him back to his younger years amongst the Ukore in the Land of Iron. "Good times..." He mumbled to himself as he gathered his chakra much like he'd learned to back then. His unique bloodline trait could effortlessly combine two elemental natures into a thin but exceedingly durable layer of protection over his entire body. Without one of those fancy dojutsu that some people in the world seemed to have, or some of those sensory techniques, nobody would be able to tell the Crystal Armor was present without coming into contact with it. Subtle, and undeniably effective- considering his past experiences of it saving his skin in the most literal ways. **LEARNED - Kesshō no Yoroi [ Crystal Armor ] [ X-Rank | Shoton | 1/1 Posts ]
If using the exterior armor wasn't assuring enough, Shigeo knew of other means. He had enough talent to reinforce his body within the armor too. With just the right touch of application, he could safely crystallize his own body. Of course, he had to be somewhat cautious doing so. **LEARNING - Crystal Raigeki [ B-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/3 Posts ]
Crystallize too much and he risked not only hindering himself but all harming his internal homeostasis. However, if he did too little then the crystals wouldn't be bonded together enough to be worth a damn. It was a thin line to walk, indeed. Thankfully, Shigeo knew he could pull it off without even having to second guess the little effort needed. **LEARNING - Crystal Raigeki [ B-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 2/3 Posts ]
For the best results, he just had to make sure it was done at the same time he prepared his Crystal Armor. The Crystal Raigeki was the finishing touch which made the fallen Ukore prince beyond the concept of personal harm. Considering how things were around him right now, Shigeo decided to go ahead and put his all into utilizing both the Crystal Armor and Crystal Raigeki skills. **LEARNED - Crystal Raigeki [ B-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 3/3 Posts ]
Shigeo had learned from a young age that his techniques were strong alone. They were plenty useful as well, in fact. However, he was capable of much more with them. All it took was some careful execution to use multiple skills simultaneously. **LEARNED - Korabo Ninjutsu [ Collaborative Ninjutsu ] [ X-Rank | Up to E-Rank Trained | Maruton | 1/1 Posts ]
Thanks to his ability to perform each of his blood-born abilities with one hand each, he could pull this off easily. One hand made seals for one technique. The other hand simultaneously finished the seals for the other technique. Time it right and two techniques could be managed at the same time. **LEARNED - Korabo Ninjutsu [ Collaborative Ninjutsu ] [ X-Rank | Up to D-Rank Trained | Maruton | 2/2 Posts ]
Of course, he had been known to get even craftier than that at times. It wasn't uncommon for him to prepare several easier techs at once with one hand. Then by the time all of those were done he'd finish the more complex one with the other hand. So far, he'd only been able to mold this chakra mumbo-jumbo for three techniques at once. **LEARNED - Korabo Ninjutsu [ Collaborative Ninjutsu ] [ X-Rank | Up to C-Rank Trained | Maruton | 3/3 Posts ]
He'd later learned that this feat was called something like Collaborative Ninjutsu by other ninja. ******** if he would've known that in the first place. All that mattered was that he could get whatever he wanted by simply reaching out and taking it despite all opposition. These skills were key to accomplishing such things. **LEARNING - Korabo Ninjutsu [ Collaborative Ninjutsu ] [ X-Rank | Up to B-Rank Trained | Maruton | 4/5 Posts ]
Just being able to do these crazy a** combinations really put him ahead of the curve apparently. Thankfully, that natural genius yet again paid off by helping to get him and Nezumi into this village. The whole village system was convoluted and oppressive, but he'd bear with it for now. All that mattered was using their freely offered resources to increase his own abilities. Once the terms of their allegiance were no longer necessary Kozo would gladly drop them like the dead-weight they were. This Collaborative Ninjutsu would ensure that none could oppose whatever decision he made now or later. **LEARNED - Korabo Ninjutsu [ Collaborative Ninjutsu ] [ X-Rank | Up to B-Rank Trained | Maruton | 5/5 Posts ]
While preparing his outer and inner layers of crystallized defenses he made sure to also keep in mind the very intricate patterns involved. This defense of his was intended to be as close to permanent as he could manage, after all. Now that he was out and about with these ninja, nothing could be left to chance. Next thing he could know, there might be one of those kunai knives in his back. Applying his knowledge of the Crystal Bonds skill would suffice to significantly reinforce the armor even more than he already could normally. **LEARNED - Crystal Bonds [ Null Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/1 Posts ]
Dawning his nearly-unbreakable visage once again reminded him of another memory. There was that guy who was always talking about how he ended up in the Ukore in the first place. He left his ninja village because they shunned his preference to use armor that wouldn't be practically useless in an actual fight. 'Ah... what was his name again? Altros? He was a great bouncer at parties. Heh...' Altros had shown and taught Shigeo how to use his armor to the fullest potential. Even wearing armor didn't slow him down or make it harder to do whatever might be necessary in a fight. Thankfully, Shigeo's particular type of armor wasn't bulky or anything anyway, but the weight still was there. It just didn't bother him like it used to when he first started using it way back then. **LEARNED - Junka [ Acclimation ] [ E-Rank | Kishitou Yoroi (Stage 1) | 1/1 Posts ]
All things considered, the ability to freely move in such a way had been more beneficial than he could thank Altros for. It didn't hinder his progress to becoming arguably the greatest thief of undergarments in the whole world. With a simply sleight of hand, Shigeo could take a girl's top, bottom or both through their clothes like it were magic. In its own way, it was in fact a feat of magic. **LEARNED - Panty Raid [ Pantīreido ] [ E-Rank | Taijutsu (Custom) | 1/0 Posts ]
Speaking of maneuverability, Shigeo's favorite skill had to be the Rainbow Path technique he developed years ago. Nothing screamed "untouchable" like entering one crystal formation he'd created and just popping out of completely different one somewhere else entirely. Since leaving the Ukore, this skill was probably one of his greatest aces when all else failed. Granted, that was almost never ever the case. How could one as awesome as him ever get backed into a corner like that? **LEARNED - Rainbow Path [ D-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/1 Posts ]
Thinking about it more, the Crystal Beacon was the less fancy, but just as flashy version of Rainbow Path. Hard to deal with a thief coming or going when you're blinded by the light. Refraction was one hell of a b***h when it came to these crystals if used just right. However, no light, no blinding flash. So it wasn't always as useful during nighttime robberies and the like. **LEARNED - Crystal Beacon [ E-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/0 Posts ]
Shigeo had to admit, most of his tricks were on the defensive and evasive side of things. However, that didn't mean he didn't know how to take charge of a situation when necessary. His Crystal Counter technique was great for asserting dominance over those that foolishly underestimated him with their attacks. It just took one pulse of crystallizing chakra and even these ninja couldn't do much of anything to stop him from really ruining their day. **LEARNED - Crystal Counter [ X-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/1 Posts ]
To add insult to injury, Shigeo had a hell of a finishing blow for anything his abilities ended up crystallizing. With a sassy snap of his fingers he'd shatter all of his enemy's best laid plans before their very eyes. Crystal Counter was a convenient option here, but hardly the only one for that matter. It took a little setup to pull off on his part, but really only a little. **LEARNING - Crystal Abundance [ Null Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/2 Posts ]
That snap of his fingers made Shigeo's crystal constructs violently explode and scattered deadly shrapnel all over the place. The stronger the crystal structure he destroyed, the more damage he could inflict. In fact, the blast was even stronger if he did crystallize some other jutsu in the process. It was hard to argue with someone who could turn you into a statue then blow you up to kill all your nearby buddies. Several people had learned that the hard way over these years. **LEARNED - Crystal Abundance [ Null Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 2/2 Posts ]
Similarly to the process needed to manipulate the crystalline structure of his creations for Crystal Bonds, Shigeo knew there were even more intricate and necessary means to alter his Crystal Armor. While it was undeniably great for shielding him from attacks delivered by taijutsu and bukijutsu, as well as plenty sturdy enough to also ward off most ninjutsu, there was still another field that he had to be wary of. ******** ninja could also use techniques that messed with people's minds. Heck, one of the ninja fighting with Belamos over there was probably using it from how things seemed. **LEARNED - Crystal Promise [ B-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 1/3 Posts ]
The last thing he wanted was to fall prey to such bullshit. Chakra was pretty similar to a lot of things throughout the world, so it had a variety of uses, functions, and purposes. His armor could at least take advantage of how these so-called genjutsu were employed against victims. What he had in mind would effectively dull any illusion-casting chakra sent at him, or that he sent out. ******** it, what did he care for those cheap tricks anyway? **LEARNED - Crystal Promise [ B-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 2/3 Posts ]
With that Crystal Promise skill, Shigeo could make any of the five senses that would be affected by Genjutsu do so differently than intended. The refractive properties of his crystal could be specially designed to ward off the overly particular designs of a genjutsu to just do super generic s**t that he'd notice with little problem. Then all he had to do was use that simple little trick they taught him at the Otogakure academy or just suffer through the nuisance knowing his armor would still take care of the rest. **LEARNED - Crystal Promise [ B-Rank | Shoton (Custom) | 3/3 Posts ]
This of course was to refer to his most exceptional of imprisoning abilities afforded by his bloodline's power. The Crystal Pentagonal Prison was probably his absolutely favorite way of shutting up a nuisance. Why the ******** wouldn't it be though? Hard to talk trash to someone when you not only become surrounded by crystal but also crystallized all the way down to a molecular level. **LEARNING - Kesshō Gokakurō [ Crystal Pentagonal Prison ] [ B-Rank | Shoton | 1/3 Posts ]
If he didn't feel like making them blow up with his Crystal Abundance skill, he could just let the imprisoned literally fade away into shimmering dust. For as many magnificent things as he could create with these powers, it was just as easy to destroy anything else. Shigeo wasn't really drunk on this power of his, but he never really doubted it as long as a situation was more or less manageable. Looking back at the fight, he sorta felt like he could help these others steal a measly flag from one guy, Sun God or not. **LEARNING - Kesshō Gokakurō [ Crystal Pentagonal Prison ] [ B-Rank | Shoton | 2/3 Posts ]
Thinking about it, he really could just... do it. Maybe it wouldn't be as simple as he expected, but there was no reason to doubt it could be unless proven wrong. Right? Even if he was proven wrong, it wasn't like he had to worry about being harmed by any of these people as long as his armor was active. 'What could someone who just seems to enjoy burning things do against anything I'm was capable of?' Okay, maybe that was a bit of a haughty thought. He may not know much about ninjas yet, so underestimating and lumping them in with the common lowlifes and lawmen he'd dealt with all his life might be a bad course of action. Still, he was certain that he'd just have to crystallize Belamos, reach in, and snag that flag from his arm to win. It could be that simple. **LEARNED - Kesshō Gokakurō [ Crystal Pentagonal Prison ] [ B-Rank | Shoton | 3/3 Posts ]
With all this reminiscing, Shigeo wouldn't be able to jump in and help the rest of these Otogakure shinobi right away. However, the single-handed seal he held behind his back as he turned to face the scene again would soon be put to use. For now, he'd just watch to see how the flames burned while weighing on whether all of that was too bothersome to be involved in or not.

Watching the situation unfold it seemed as if her genjutsu was working to a degree. The summons seemed to be outclassed by it or at least confused. She hadn't been detected yet and things were going well. Her allies were having a hard time engaging him in direct combat though. With her genjutsu uninterrupted or dealt with her illusory copy of herself that had appeared behind belamos would dodge all of the attacks before rushing in and ramming home its kunai into his heart from the backside. Belamos would experience all the pain associated with such a strike before the illusory weapon and clone would vanish. While no real harm would come to Belamos the flood of adrenaline, emotions, and the memory of the pain would no doubt leave him feeling something. Her cloak meanwhile was retained and would persist for the time being, however while her genjutsu was doing its thing Belamos had decided to unleash a great ball of fire upon them. Least she had tagged him back for it.
Still though she had little recourse for dealing with his ninjutsu save for attempting to run away. However she felt as if that wouldn't be enough since she didn't have any high speed movement techniques. No if she didn't want to get cooked she'd need to think of something else. [1/3] Thinking back to her days at the academy she recalled a special session for those with an affinity for the element of water. It was a basic technique but something that might help her survive. Using her chakra to create a barrier of water she would hopefully be able to defend herself from the worst of the attack. [2/3] Quickly forming the required seals she built up her chakra for the technique. Upon finishing water rose up around her and created a cylindrical shield. This was it, her barrier was now created though she doubted it would hold. [3/3] Mizu Tate no Jutsu [ Water Shield Technique ]
The flames soon washed over her and quickly burned away all the water as she was knocked back from the force of the impact. She landed roughly five feet from the two lewd ninja and the pain from the attack caused her to drop her mist servant technique. She lay on the ground for a moment panting and feeling out her burns. She'd reduced the damage but everything pretty much hurt. Thankfully her chameleon tech held up so was still stealthed. That being said she wasn't really sure what else to do now. Her neck craned to try and look at Belamos and to see how the other two were doing, but she didn't rise to her own feet.
As he leapt up, he felt the icy pain of a dagger find it's mark. His shock, his pain; both eclipsed by his anger. Anger at himself for letting the attack land, anger that this was his end...just, angry at everything. Yet, when he continued to breath, he recognized the Genjutsu for what it was. Yes, the pain was intense, but it was balanced by the joy of his continued existence and the relief that followed. Belamos's attack left his hand, and as he stared down at the group, he saw Chigiri vanished before his eyes 'This is over' He thought to himself as he whirled around, acting on instinct. He had, himself tried the same trick when he defeated Katherine. It had worked on her but would not work on him. He had heard her call him a coward, insulted his honor. This only seemed to compound the anger in him as his hand shot out, quick as lightning, and caught her wrist in mid-air. Throwing his body forward, he whipped his arm and send Chigiri spiraling down to earth with not insignificant force. As the girl bounced back into the air from the force of the blow, the flag would be pinned to the girls own upper arm by a kunai. Before the girl would have a chance to retrieve the knife, Belamos would appear standing above her, one foot on her free arm and the other on her chest. The point of his spear, pressing against the side of the genin's temple "Congratulations, you got the flag" He muttered to the girl "But perhaps had you acted more like a shinobi and less like a spoiled brat, you would have found more success..." Pushing her face over with his spear, he would make her gaze upon her teammates. Totoko, dazed and weary from the explosion. Akura, wrapped in a smoking layer of his own tendrils "...they needed you. Instead of working together with them as a team, coordinating your strikes, you blindly rushed out like a rabbit with a carrot" The irony of his joke was not lost on him, but still the metaphor sufficed "I expected more from you. Much more"
As Belamos reprimanded Chigiri, Fong and Nawaki were helping the other two Genin to their feet. Once they got them up, and made sure they were not critically injured, the two Belamos cloned Summons vanished back to their home land.
Belamos himself backed off of Chigiri and positioned himself so that he could speak to all three at once "Totoko, Akura, you two did very well. Exactly, if not more than, what I thought you two would be capable of. Chigiri, you know your faults. Improve. You were not meant to defeat me, but to show aptitude for small unit tactics" His spear vanished in a column of fire as he stuck his hands in his pockets and continued "When facing a superior opponent you have to use every advantage you have. You had numbers, different skill pools, and a rather simple objective once you located me. Had you used a diversion, or perhaps bait, and then ambushed me together, it is quite possible you all would be victorious today. Take what you have learned, train, and we will repeat this exercise soon. Until then, you are dismissed"
The Jounin sighed. These kids were gonna be difficult, it was obvious to see. But, still, they had potential, it was just up to him to somehow foster it. Looking past them, he spotted the two newcomers. Those two idiots he had gotten into the village from way back when. Disappearing into flames, he reappeared behind the two and dropped a heavy fist onto bother of their noggins "Learn some respect, dammit. Next time I take a finger" Jerking his thumb over his shoulder, he vaguely indicated the direction of the Kage's office. "I can clear you to train and take missions, but Skelly in the office makes it all official. See him before too long, and come find me when you're ready for a challenge" With that, he would walk away from the pair, headed off to run his own errands.

__ Shigeo barely even budged when he felt Belamos' fist tap against his head. Well, at least it was a good sign that at least that much damage could be shrugged off with ease. Although, he wondered if the Jounin noticed the armor that had been struck. Shigeo restrained a snicker when ordered to "learn respect" because such a thing was extremely relative. 'Like you could even touch me, oh great and wise Sun God~!' Behind that mischievous, falsely repenting smirk he held onto such challenging thoughts. This village still had too much use for him right now to start burning bridges already. "I hope its a bettah challenge than what'cha let these whelps deal wit'!" Shigeo yelled after Belamos while he departed for his errands. God, he hated this fake a** accent, but oh well. Couldn't be blowing cover now either. He didn't even care if the others that just finished fighting heard him. Shigeo had seen enough of their fighting to have confidence that he could take them all on at once without even needed Kazama for backup. The Ukore prince knew not what fear or hesitation was, or what their value could be.
Looking to his only friend, Shigeo said, "Alrighty, Kazama, wanna work up a sweat?" He grinned slightly, not really sure if he meant for an innuendo or not this time. Probably not, that'd be pretty gay in this case. He'd definitely save that joke for another time. Shigeo figured that Kazama could also use a chance to resharpen his skills too. A little sparring and learning under the gun was enough for them. Then they could go start doing these missions and maaaaaaybe visit this Skelly person at the office to be officially recognized as ninja. The option to seek Belamos for a challenge weighed on Shigeo's thoughts too. That fight was pretty intense, but so goddamn one-sided despite the advantages of the "losing" side.

It all happened so fast, as she felt her wrist being grabbed during the swing of her sword. The next sensation the raven haired girl felt was falling. 'Kuso...' and then the impact with the ground as the wind was knocked out of her lungs suddenly before she had more time to think up curses and swears. Then pain..in her upper arm, and her chest as before Chigiri knew it, she was pinned to the ground and being griped at by Belamos. There was a slight ringing in her ears, but she could tell what he meant as she caught the end half of his words. Though, she did not say anything to acknowledge her own failures, she just laid there a moment and collected herself.
Chigiri then let out an audible sigh as Belamos left the area and slowly sat up only to feel a heavy weight in her lap as Kuro came bounding over to sit with her and comfort her in the moment of disappointment she felt then and there. "Whatever...", she spat to the ground, finally after those moments of silence, just petting her companion in the mean time. It was a bit of denial, as if she refused to openly acknowledge any sort of shame for trying to do her best, even if her team-mates couldn't keep up. "...I'm just glad that it's over.", the tamer finished as her rabbit reached up and yanked the knife out of her arm suddenly and began to wave the flag about on the point. "Ouch! Kuro..give me a warning next time...but yeah, you're right. We got the flag, just not how I wanted it.", she said to her companion who seemed to still consider it a victory despite the fact it was more out of charity that they even had the flag to begin with.
[Resting]
"I'm going to the hospital, you two.", Chigiri called to her team-mates as she stood up and began to limp for the door. "...I'm going to get patched up before I do anything else. I suggest that it's a course of action you follow as well... But, whatever. You two do what you want.", she added dismissively. Chigiri wasn't the type to give a damn what people did off-duty, per say, and they weren't her underlings...so telling them what to do wasn't on her list of responsibilities, and nor did she want it to be anyway. There were more important things to consider... like how to actually work with Totoko and Akura. These would be mulled over once she had her arm patched up.

__ Kazama felt a fist come down on his head and fell over comedically while Shigeo stood still with his crystal armor. A devious smirk still remained on his face at the idea of learning respect. Who needs to respect anybody when you are this good looking? He hopped up and watched Belamos run off before he looked over at Shigeo to respond. He started sizing him up with his crystal armor on before speaking. "Let's do dis." He said simply before dismounting his longbow from his back and readying his quiver. Kazama seriously needed to work on his archery. "Can I use ya for target practice? Surely ya family jewels armor can protect ya from some arrows. But if you catch any arrows I'll need them back, for some reason I can only start with fifteen projectiles." He sighed at the absurdity of it all.
__ Shigeo turned a scowl toward his friend and raised a finger to make a hushing gesture. "C'mon man! Keep it on the dee ell." His expression would shift to a wink and he'd turn his hushing hand into a thumbs up. "Fire away, Hawkeye! I'll train some of my own nonsense at the same time. When we're done we'll go see what kinds of missions these ninja do 'round'ere." Shigeo would fully turn to face Kazama and took a moment to stretch a bit. From what he remembered about the tours, training here was better for everything but bukijutsu and taijutsu. Damn shame. He'd have to hang out around the dojo later to work on the other stuff he still had to master.

From her awkward face down position, Totoko managed to crane her neck around to look in the general direction of Belamos and Chigiri. From there her crimson eyes were able to see as the other woman got the flag she had been so ardently after but only at the cost of some embarrassment and showboating from their leader's part. He really did like to be intimidating it seemed. Such a trait was rather frightening to the poor sheltered girl. She was in fact actually afraid of the man. Though the fear soon dissipated, not because of his praise but simply from him leaving. Which that did leave her feeling a little down.
Totoko had imagined that her leader would be someone who instruct and teach her. Somebody that would give attention to her squad and help them learn. The disappointment of their commander being someone who set unclear goals and then vanished when it was over left a sad taste in her mouth. It almost felt like he wanted them to bond over disliking him. Such a thing felt far too unkind to be worthwhile though. Body aching and heart hurt she almost felt like crying. However her commitment to honoring her clan prevented her from indulging in such feelings. Her chameleon technique ended suddenly she would become visible again. Slowly she rose to her feet and nodded at Chigiri's words. "That sounds like an excellent idea to me. Things hurt pretty bad from that attack." [Exit]

"Power resides where men believe it resides....
His tendrils slowly slithered off him and plopped on the ground. Akura’s eyes slid open. His entire body was in pain any attempt to move set out a shot of pain that went through his entire body. He saw what had happened between Belamos and Chigiri after the pair had gotten to the ground, how he had thrown the flag onto her. He felt bad for Chigiri. The way she was fighting made him feel like she had something to prove, like she felt she had something to prove. At the bottom of his heart, he wanted to blame the two of them for their failure, one for trying too hard, and one for, in his eyes, not trying, but at the end of the day, he suffered the same blame as both of them did. When Belamos said his name, Akura slowly rose his right arm, groaned because of the pain, and gave the teacher a weak thumbs up. “Try not to cook me next time, please.” He said weakly and in a low tone due to the pain. Then, Chigiri spoke, and she had a point, they should go to the hospital, and so he would. After some time, a minute or two at most, Akura got up, his tendrils laying limp on the ground. How embarrassing, he thought, still dragging them all the way to the hospital.

__ Kazama began backflipping and gained a little distance from Kozo. He prepared an arrow and knocked it on his longbow. He drew it and began aiming it just to get a feel for it. "You wanna start? Do you maybe wanna see if the Otokage is around?" He asked knowing that he certainly needed to begin training soon.
__ Shigeo was literally leaving himself wide open to suffer through whatever explosive techniques his friend might've finally come up with. However, instead of heading off their training session with the bang it deserved, Kazama seemed to have doubts or something. "I mean... I guess we can go meet that Skelly guy that Mister Sun God mentioned. I don't really care one way or another though." Shigeo shrugged and started walking off toward where he remembered the Otokage's office being situated. Apparently they were gonna go play by the rules this time around. What a bummer.

__ Kazama shrugged and trudged off along with Shigeo.
_______________ ≎Out Of Context≎ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Exit.
__ Shigeo stretched his arms high overhead and yawned. As he figured, the President wasn't really all that remarkable. At the very least, the guy didn't scream inspiring charismatic authority. This was a very very good thing as far as he was concerned. That meant that it would be incredibly easy to get away with all kinds of old bad habits as long as anything too... extreme was omitted from his activities. Well, that minor non life-changing event aside, Shigeo would take some time to reflect and maybe practice a little until Kazama caught up.
Kozo recalled the time when he had first discovered the rare power of his chakra. It was at that time that he was told that it was inherited through his family bloodline. Still, it was a little weird, even for a young pup like him, that nobody mentioned it until that very moment. At least his father had tried explaining that the power of Shoton was as incredible as it was. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 1/9 Posts ] **TRAINING MISSION - Basic Training: Performance (1/2) [ D-Rank | 1/3 Posts ]
He had started learning more about his abilities under his father's guidance. It's most core ability was that it could crystallize virtually everything. That in itself was something he would take for granted for many many more years. Of course, he had to start by understanding the structure of crystals. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 2/9 Posts ] **TRAINING MISSION - Basic Training: Performance (1/2) [ D-Rank | 2/3 Posts ]
For the most part, it began with visual examples paired with lessons. His father was rather thorough about it all from day one. It was a good thing that Kozo learned quickly even at such a young age. In less than a month he had memorized several basic crystallization patterns. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 3/9 Posts ] **TRAINING MISSION - Basic Training: Performance (1/2) [ D-Rank | 3/3 Posts ]
Matching his son's learning pace, practical lessons were also implemented. He was learning how to harness chakra, despite having no actual ninja training. Also, Kozo's father had been instructing him how to mold chakra with and without hand seals. It would only be a matter of time before he could effectively learn to use Shoton abilities in full force. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 4/9 Posts ]
At first he was just making pebbles no larger than his little five-year-old fingertips. They were grains of crystal, at best. But he quickly came to understand that crystals were patterns. Patterns only existed through precise repetition. In days he would exponentially increase the size of these crystal formations. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 5/9 Posts ]
His "last" lesson in learning the fundamentals of the Crystal Release would soon come from his father. Days before the Yomorai Raid, Kozo was asked to revisit the basics regarding the crystal patterns he'd already learned. He was shown patterns of many other kinds of minerals. From this he was taught how to replicate several other kinds of materials' hardness as well. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 6/9 Posts ]
Eventually this would result in him learning how to make crystals as hard as diamonds. However, that ability would come far too late to save his family. Even still, he was adopted into the Ukore for his abilities. His potential as a scoundrel were rather apparent too at such a young age. Kozo was allowed to continue honing his abilities unabated. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 7/9 Posts ]
His progression to mastering this basic yet integral part of his Shoton power continued at an exponential rate for some time. Days with the Ukore turned to weeks, and weeks changed to months. Of course, he was mastering other abilities along the way. However, the most important thing was always the fundamentals. **LEARNING - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 8/9 Posts ]
Mastering these basics opened doors unlike anything else. Within a year and some change, he would fully master the crystal formations of the Crystal Release. In fact, it might be argued that he was even more able with it than the rare few others who also had it. Of course, he'd have to one day meet and test his abilities to prove his superiority. **LEARNED - Shining Judgment of a Thousand Stones [ Unnamed ] [ Passive | Shoton | 9/9 Posts ]
The basics of crystal manipulation were things that Kozo also learned rather early on. Early enough that his father had actually been there to start those practices. At first, he learned how to alter the shapes of crystals after he made them. He started with those fingertip-sized crystal pebbles he was making. **LEARNING - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ E-Rank | Shoton | 1/1 Posts ]
The pebbles weren't too hard to alter. He'd turn the rough spheres smooth. Heck, he could even add little spikes to them so they could function like caltrops. Nobody likes stepping on things like that, and they were great for pranks. Although, using them in such a way always got him in some trouble. **LEARNED - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ E-Rank | Shoton | 2/2 Posts ] **TRAINING MISSION - Basic Training: Performance (2/2) [ D-Rank | 1/3 Posts ]
Within days, just like his structural training, he was learning how to manipulate even larger crystals with ease. Crystal rocks the size of his hands were next on the list. Their shapes and density were altered noticeably. Rocks that big could even be molded to resemble shinobi weapons, like kunai knives and shuriken. **LEARNING - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ D-Rank | Shoton | 1/1 Posts ]
Kozo rather enjoyed making things with his powers. Just as much so, he enjoyed turning one thing into another. However, he soon learned that his crystal reacted to his will in even more intimate ways. He found that he could even do this without expending any energy, although it was nearly impossible to integrate a sturdy structure if he did that. **LEARNED - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ D-Rank | Shoton | 2/2 Posts ] **TRAINING MISSION - Basic Training: Performance (2/2) [ D-Rank | 2/3 Posts ]
Still, even that kind of manipulation had its uses. Soon he was manipulating crystals as large as his limbs. He could easily shift their shapes from one three-dimensional form to another in mere moments. Efficiency came naturally the more he practiced. However, this was also around the time of the Yomorai raid. He'd have to pick up his practices again later on after this. **LEARNING - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ C-Rank | Shoton | 1/2 Posts ]
Soon after being accepted by the Ukore bandit militia, Kozo had started learning how to lift and move crystals with his power. He could also do this with or without using chakra. However, it was rather clear that the manipulated crystals moved faster and had more impact if he used chakra to do this. This fearsome addition to his arsenal was one of the main reasons he had become recognized by the Ukore leader within months of joining the brigands. **LEARNED - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ C-Rank | Shoton | 2/2 Posts ] **TRAINING MISSION - Basic Training: Performance (2/2) [ D-Rank | 3/3 Posts ]
Heck, within another couple weeks he was manipulating crystals as big as boulders. Likewise, he could use his powers to reshape and move the crystal like he had some kind of strange telekinetic power. That wasn't the case, since he could only affect the crystals he created. However, it didn't make his abilities any less valuable. **LEARNING - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ B-Rank | Shoton | 1/2 Posts ]
In a show of skill and strength, Kozo had used his powers to overwhelm some of the highest ranking members of the Ukore in a little tournament. Needless to say, a child utterly stomping on the reputation of experienced warriors and thieves earned him some of his own recognition amongst the Ukore as a whole. His Shoton powers found him a new family, with the bandit leader now as his adopted father figure. **LEARNED - Shou Soujuu [ Crystal Manipulation ] [ B-Rank | Shoton | 2/2 Posts ]
Ah, that was a refreshing episode of effort. Now he just had to relax for as long as he could bear to do so. Once his explosively-witted friend arrived they could also work on the previously offered arrangement. Shigeo would be use as target practice and whatnot until Kazama felt at ease with his own skills. From there they could probably go pick up on some missions or just go to find that Sun God fella for something interesting to pass the time. Another stretch ensued and Shigeo quickly changed his mind, a common habit of the fickle Prince of Thieves. "I'm gonna go see if I can find that fire-breathing freak and get something fun to do. I'll just train some more as I go, and I'm sure Kazama can keep himself busy in the meantime too..." Shigeo let his arms fall back to his sides and he just followed his gut to start searching for Belamos.

Chigiri was caught off guard as she was thrown backward by the sudden upheaval of the earth beneath her feet and she slid backward, taking a knee to brace and prepare herself for her next maneuver. Though as Belamos jumped into the air and threw down the ball of fire at them, she could not help but spit with rage, "Coward..Come back here so I can hit you!" She was certainly full of confidence, but alas, that might not matter in the end result, but all she could do was try. As for stopping the attack, she couldn't, but she had one more ace up her sleeve before all her cards were on the table.
