Tekkou smiled as he finished his training and his fellow clansmen Kaito left. He slowly stood up and grabbed his things. Then he made his way away from the dojo in search of the Kage's office. It was time he met the Kage like he was asked.
Posted: Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:37 pm
Tekkou made his way back to one of the only place he actually knew in the village. The dojo. As he approached the dojo he let his eyes do the searching. The range he could see was quite large after all the time he spent using them but he had an idea about how he could speed up this mission. Although it would take him a little while. Either way after finding nothing and no clues about any threat he let out a small sigh and we out on his way.
xxx♪After getting the scrolls that he needed to train, Cyrus made his way to the dojo. Once he got there, he found a good place to train by himself. Finally finding a good place, Cyrus set his stuff down. Once he was ready, he pulled out the first scroll that he wanted to train on. Opening up the scroll, he started to look over the moves. Getting the first couple of moves figured out, Cyrus was ready to get things going!
The first move that Cyrus wanted to work on would allow him to run up walls. While he already knew the Art of Tree Climbing Technique, this one would give him a little more to play with. Shifting his weight, Cyrus looked over at a near by wall. Giving himself a small nod, he started to gather chakra. Feeling like he had enough, Cyrus pushed off the ground and rushed for the wall. Getting closer, he pushed off and planted his first step on the wall. Following up with his next step, he started up the wall. Getting about four feet up, Cyrus felt himself slipping on the wall. Pushing off, he flipped backwards. As he did, he pulled more chakra into his feet. Landing on them, he used the chakra to soften the blow. He shifted his weight a little bit feeling a little pain from the jump. He was working on the second technique which allowed him to land from high falls without taking too much damage. He still felt the fall which meant that he didn't put enough chakra into his feet. [1/2]
Taking in a deep breath, Cyrus was ready to try again. Shifting his weight a little bit, Cyrus moved backwards some to get a good running start. Gathering up charka to try the moves again, Cyrus started to force it into his feet. Taking off, Cyrus started for the wall. As he got closer to the wall, he pushed off and jumped a few feet into the air. Landing on the wall, he started to run up. Once he got about ten feet up the wall, he felt the chakra start to leave his feet. Pushing off the wall, Cyrus flipped backwards into the air. Heading for the ground, Cyrus placed chakra into his feet and his hands. Landing on the ground, Cyrus used the chakra to soften the blow. Standing up, Cyrus felt good about the moves and was ready to move onto the next style. [2/2 Wall Scaling Technique and Fall Breaker Learned!]
Pulling out the other scroll for his second taijutsu style, Cyrus opened it up and began to look over it. Reading over the moves in the first stage, he was ready to go. Giving a small nod, Cyrus found a slightly elevated platform. Taking a deep breath, Pushing off the ground, Cyrus flew into the air. Flying at a wooden dummy, Cyrus preformed a flying jump kick. Slamming into the chest of the dummy, Cyrus pushed off and flipped into the air. Landing on his feet he smiled. "Dynamic Entry!" He struck a pose and smiled some. [1/1 Dainamikku-Entori [ Dynamic Entry ] Learned!]
Ready for the next move, Cyrus got himself ready and looked at the dummy. Giving a small nod, Cyrus pushed off and headed for the dummy. Getting ready as he got closer, he nodded. Once he reached the dummy he sent out a fury of punches and kicks. With the last hit being placed on the dummy, he cracked the wooden torso. Sliding back a bit, he was ready for the next one. [1/1 Dainamikku-Akushon [ Dynamic Action ] Learned!]
Ready for the last move, Cyrus walked over to his stuff and pulled out a pack of toothpicks. Sliding one out, he stuck it in his mouth. Swirling it around a little bit, he got a good feel for it. Taking a few more moments, Cyrus finally spit it out towards a dummy. Watching it fly through the air, it fell rather short. Trying it a few more times, he finally got the hang of it. Spitting a toothpick out one last time, it smacked into a wooden dummy with pretty good force. [1/1 Youjitsuba [ Spitting Toothpick ] Learned!]
xxxxxxxxxxxＨideo walked calmly onto the field. Noting the presence of several other Shinobi, he continued to a vacant section. A sudden breeze shot over the grassy opening, as hit struck Hideo's form, his white hair lightly blew across his face, and his white coat blowing behind him. He continued slowly across the field, his right hand resting on the hilt of his katana. His eyes flickering between the other occupants until he had reached a spot that fit his needs. Ｈideo stopped for a moment, inhaling deeply before exhaling again, at which point he drew his blade from his hip, holding it out in front of him as he closed his eyes, taking in another deep breath and then exhaling. As soon as the wind had vacated his lungs, he dashed forward, pressing his right foot firmly to the ground as he kicked off, dashing to the left. Again, he lunged to the right before kicking to the left, and then lunged to the left, before swiftly dashing to the right. [ Technique Learned :: Axle of Rain ] Ｈideo continued forward, lunging forward. Dashing to the right, he swung his sword upward before dashing to the left. Swinging downward, Hideo lept backward, allowing his legs to buckle beneath him in order to maintain balance just before striking upward into the air once more. This time sending his own chakra into the blade. As energy spread through the blades, Hideo swung upwards once more, releasing the futon energy all at once, forcing a quick current of air to swirl outward from his blade. Hideo left his crouching position, launching himself forward with the energy pent up in his current position. Hideo built a flurry of katon energy into his blade this time, striking upwards as he allowed the chakra to escape outwards, heating the air around in a distracting flurry. [ Technique Learned :: Rolling Rain ] Ｃontinuing in his training, Hideo quickly launched himself forward, swinging upwards, downwards, and diagonally. He allowed his knees to buckle, crouching down before leaping into the air backwards, flipping before landing in a similar position ten feet back. In a single, fluid, motion, Hideo shot upward, swinging in a upward diagonal motion from his left hip to right shoulder. As Hideo landed on the ground, he immediately began building up a flurry of katon chakra within his blade, beginning in the hilt as it spread throughout the blade in an even stream. As Hideo lunged forward, he struck downward, the chakra escaping from every which way before forming a thick mist around himself. The mist was warm, hot in fact, and provided Hideo with the perfect chance to escape from any impending dangers. [ Technique Learned :: Misting Rain ] Ｈideo moved quickly, launching himself forward. Firmly pressing his left foot to the ground, he spun, kicking into the air before bringing his right leg down in a swift motion that brought Hideo into a spin to the side. He landed in a crouching position, leaping forward as he slashed outward, his blade cutting through the air with a sharp whisp. Hideo stepped back, dropping his blade just in front of him as though ripping through the shoulder of his opponent. Hideo forced himself backward, landing in a bladed stance before cutting upward with his katana, as he reached the top of his stance, his hand opened, dropping the blade from his grip, he immediately switched stance once more, rotating on the ball of his left foot as he kicked outwards from his side with his right. The ball of his foot quickly making contact with the hilt of his blade in a single fluid motion. The blade was launched forward, acting as a spear as it moved through the air as though it were the most natural motion in the world, the speed incredible. With a sharp thump, the blade struck a tree on the far end of the field, several loose pieces of bark flew outward as the blade slipped through the thick form of the wooden obstruction. Hideo dashed forward, arriving at the tree in no time as he drew forth his blade, swinging it out before re sheathing it. The hole in the tree was through and through, thin and yet clearly existing. [ Technique Learned :: Last Minute Rain ] Ｍoving back to where he had been sitting, Hideo allowed his legs to fold beneath him. His legs folded beneath his form, Hideo set his hands gently into his lap as he calmed his breathing. Picturing anyone, everyone, examining the movement of the chests of those he had seen in the past, he slowed his own breathing to match that of the people from before. He then increased the speed of his breathing to do the same. Matching the breathing of a man faced with great fatigue. Laying back slightly, Hideo continued to adjust his breathing, focusing in on matching the breath forms of any other. His eyes quickly flickered open as Hideo stood-up, stretching out as he drew forth his blade once more. Hideo lunged forward, swinging up, and down again. He moved backwards with several quick stepping motions. Rotating to face that behind him, he kicked up with his right leg, his heart rate increasing, he looked to the man standing calmly in the side of the field opposite to his own. He examined the mans chest and quickly began to calm his own breathing to match that of the mysterious man. Releasing himself from his flurry of motions, Hideo re-sheathed his sword... [ Technique Learned :: May Wind, October Rain ]
xxxxxxxxxxxＲight hand resting on the onyx hilt of his katana, Hideo lunged forward, moving swiftly in a zigzag pattern. Dashing to the right only moments before kicking off to the left in a familiar array of movements. Following the final dash, Hideo instantly drew his blade, a sharp noise sounding outward as the blade escaped it's home within the sheath. Hideo quickly lunged forward, kicking outward as he flipped through the air backwards, his right arm holding the katana extended to his side. The moment he touched back down, his legs buckled, moving him into a crouching position. Immediately, Hideo lashed outwards once more, slicing in an upward diagonal position before stepping forward once more, slashing downward this time. He stepped forward again, this time with a right slash which instinctively turned into a slash to the left as he switched his grip. Following a slight step backwards, Hideo slashed downward, flicking his wrist in such a manner as to immediately slash upwards once more. This time Hideo lunged forward, accessing a full sprint before forcing his right out forward in a downward diagonal form, slashing horizontally just in front of him. Then switching the position in his wrist as to round his attack into a vertical downward slash. Recoiling the blade, Hideo struck forward in a simple stabbing motion. Crossing his left leg over his right, Hideo made his way forward, slashing upward in a nearly flawless diagonal form, dropping the blade from his right grip, his left was already cross body, ready to grab the hilt with his left once more. Immediately, Hideo captured the blade at his right hip with his left hand, and slashed upwards in a diagonal form identical to the previous. In a similar motion, Hideo captured the hilt with his right hand cross body and slashed upward in a diagonal formation. Again, and again, Hideo repeated the same motion with near flawless precision. [ Technique Learned :: Summer Rain ] Ｉn the same manner as before, Hideo continued with a series of strikes. The first an upward strike, the second a downward strike from his right shoulder to his left hip. The image of a man, the form of an "X" across his chest as the blood sprayed outward. Small drops of crimson liquid writhing in the air in the form of a highly concentrated mist. Hideo continued in his assault, his movements swift as he switched the position of his feet again, and again. With each change in position of his footing, he struck in a new manner, an upward strike, followed by a downward vertical strike with nearly perfect precision. This time a new attack came, a new series of attacks, two horizontal strikes in opposite directions followed by a mid-level stab, ripping through the air with a great deal of power and precision. Rotating on his right foot, Hideo switched his grip, stabbing outward into the air before spinning around, cutting through outward with the blade running parallel to his right forearm. Allowing his chakra to run down the steel of his katana, Hideo began circulating the blade, the chakra slowly escaping in a similar circular manner. The futon acting with enough energy to block incoming attacks. Hideo continued rampage, as the blade passed just above the grass, the elemental shield whipped up a flurry of fallen leaves, and wet grass. The individual drops of rain bouncing not off of the katana itself, but the surrounding circulating futon energy. [ Technique Learned :: Splashing Rain ] Ａcting on the brink of exhaustion, Hideo dropped the blade, it spun just above the ground for several seconds. The tip of the katana reaching closer and closer to the ground as the futon chakra dissipated outwards into the surrounding atmosphere. As soon as the chakra had fully dissipated into the surrounding field, the katana fell, impaling the soft soil below. Hideo dropped down into the wet grass, the penetrating liquid climbing onto the soft cotton of Hideo's garb. Looking to the sky, several drops of rain assaulted his face before he closed his eyes, allowing the soft water to continue against his face. The chakra within his core began to knead itself at Hideo's command. He continued by allowing it to flow throughout his body, the delicate chakra source tightening itself throughout his body. He quickly shot it to his shoulders, the chakra tightening within his muscles, and then shooting out in most every direction as though it were nothing, Again, the chakra tightened itself within both of his wrists and then he allowed it to escape outwards in a quick burst. Once more, Hideo moved his contracting chakra to his legs, and the allowed it to escape in a series of quick and short bursts. This time Hideo began kneading his chakra within his center, tightening like a knot before allowing the chakra to all escape in a quick stream around himself. As Hideo's prowess continued to increased, he began to thread his chakra throughout the entirety of his body, all of which began to tighten throughout his body evenly before being launched outwards in several bursts like quick bursts of rain. [ Training Complete :: Blessed Rain ]
xxxxxxxxxxxＭoving swiftly through the field, Hideo through several swift jabs, and continued with a series of thorough positions. Switching his stance, Hideo continued to throw a myriad of attacks. Hideo stepped back, into a front stance, his right leg forward from his left as he threw a single punch. Hideo quickly bent down slightly before popping upwards, and in a single, fluid motion, he lunged forward into a punch, continuing forward, he firmly set his palm against the ground, bring his feet over his head into a single-handed-hand stand before forcing himself into the air once more, as his right foot touched down, he brought his left down into a kick. He quickly rotated upon the ball of his left foot. Immediately, he drew his sword and slashed downward in a diagonal slash. Stepping forward, he slashed from his left shoulder to his right hip in a diagonal chop, stepping forward once more, he stabbed forward, and with another step, he quickly brought his swords upward above his head once more, and swung his sword down in a powerful overhead chop. With little friction, he continued in this pattern. Stepping forward with a new slash each time. Hideo suddenly stopped, holding his sword outward, both hands holding onto his hilt. As he continued swinging outward into the air. Stopping once more with his sword held out in front of him, Hideo began threading chakra downward his legs and into his feet. As he continued, his eyes flickered closed, and he inhaled deeply before exhaling once more. The moment a fair amount of chakra had been stored within the souls of his feet, he began threading it outward, and then he was gone. A white blur forming as he moved with outstanding speed, his coat fluttering behind him as he slashed downward, upward, and then in a diagonal upward slash once more. Each step he took increased his speed, as the movements began more and more innate. With each step he took, a slight crater was created in the wet grass below himself. As the chakra had completely dissipated into the field around, Hideo found himself taking deep breaths where he began, holding his sword out in front of him with both hands once more. [ Technique Learned :: Innocent Rain ] Ｅxhaling deeply, Hideo rose his blade into the air, switching his grip. As he lightened his grip, the blade fell from it's position in the air until it was parallel to his right arm. He immediately retracted his arm, bringing the katana back down into it's sheath. Almost immediately, Hideo lunged forward, kicking outwards as he switched positions once more. Jumping forward again, before stopping himself and moving back with a firm kick from his right leg down towards the ground. Hideo continued in his flurry of movements as he launched himself backwards and immediately allowed himself to fall to the side, flipping over as he slammed his right palm firmly to the ground before continuing his cart-wheel. As though by nature, Hideo launched forward, setting his palms firmly against the ground in a familiar manner before launching himself forward into a flip. He landed with his left knee on the ground, and his right leg pushing outward as he drew his katana from his left side, aiming it forward, his eyes piercing as though looking into the soul of his worst enemy, a life for the taking. Hideo rolled forward, pulling himself to his feet before lashing out in a sudden hook kick with his right leg and then slamming his foot into the ground, pushing himself back wards over and over again as though avoiding a series of kunai. He swung his blade outwards, switching the blade over in a parrying manner. Setting his right foot firmly against the ground, he rotated around on the ball of his foot, turning into an outer-crescent kick. Immediately stepping back as he began threading chakra into his foot. The chakra forming around the balls of his foot as he launched himself backwards. Switching his weight forward, Hideo allowed his chakra to burst outward, launching himself forward in a blinding speed, almost as though having disappeared completely. The white chakra appearing in the form of a flame just beneath his feet with every lunge he managed. As he drew his blade once more, he held it out in front of him, and closed the distance between himself and a tree on the far end in only several massive bursts. As he reached the tree, he burst forward once more, driving his blade through the tree in a quick, concise stabbing manner. [ Technique Learned :: Fiendish Speed Rain ] Ｔurning around, Hideo leaned to his left, grabbing hold of the hilt of his katana. Immediately, he allowed the chakra to burst forward, still grabbing hold of his sword as he dragged it from the tree in that single, precise motion. In the same motion, Hideo lunged forward, allowing the chakra force him into the centre of the field. Quickly switching grips on his blade, he held onto the hilt, both palms facing the end as he allowed his legs to buckle beneath himself, stabbing the blade downward into the earth beneath as his chakra burst outwards into the atmosphere around. Hideo sat back into the wet grass, his katana still in the earth just in front of him as the drops of rain deflected off of the two. Hideo gently set both of his palms onto the hilt of his blade as his eyes flickered closed. Inhaling deeply, he began kneading his chakra within his core. He exhaled, releasing his own chakra within the surrounding atmosphere. As he inhaled deeply once more, Hideo quickly dragged in, not only his own chakra but others around him, sensing any and all sources around that generate their own chakra. The hostile intent becoming something of which he was immediately sensitive to as though it were the most natural ability in the world. Falling backward, Hideo released his concentration, still holding onto his blade as he drew from the ground in a diagonal manner, forcing the earth to become disrupted in an upward manner. [ Training Completed :: Insight Rain ] Ｈideo quickly moved to his feet as he grabbed his katana, pulling it to his side as he lashed his right arm outward, any remnants of mood splattering to the earth below. Hideo quickly pulled his blade to the air, switching grips once more so that it were parallel to his right forearm once more as he dragged his katana back into it's sheath at his left hip once more. Pressing his right foot firmly against the soggy earth, he rotated to face in the opposite direction before heading off further into the village towards the academy, and eventually to the Kage's office...
"Fight and be remembered as a hero, or run and be remembered as a coward." ╔══════════════════════════════╗ Theme Song of Tenchi Hyuuga
『XXXXXWalking slowly onto the field, Tenchi gave a soft sigh, running his fingers through his hair slowly. He wanted to get some training done before making his way to the Otokage’s office. It was easier for him to get the training done beforehand, considering he wanted to get a decent amount of missions done to build up money to buy a surplus of Arrows for his bow. Thankfully he managed to borrow a decent amount of arrows before making his way to the Dojo to do some training. Walking over near one of the training dummies, Tenchi reached behind him to retrieve his compact longbow from his back. Unfurling the bow, he snapped his wrist outwards, causing the bow to extend to its full length. Grasping one of the arrows held within his Quiver, Tenchi pulled it slowly from the leather holster, bringing it up to nock the arrow. Drawing it back firmly, the white-haired Hyuuga took aim, lining the bow up with the training dummy. Releasing the shaft of the arrow, he watched as it shot forward swiftly. Ripping through the air the silver-tipped arrow pierced into the dummy, breaking through wood to stick firmly in the post.
XXXXXNodding his head in satisfaction Tenchi decided to work on his speed as opposed to accuracy. Though archery was largely based upon accuracy, speed was also important should he be forced to rapid-fire. Nocking another arrow to his bow, the Hyuuga brought it up near his face, drawing back the string tensely. Requiring a large amount of upper body-strength archery was one of the best exercises a Shinobi could perform to have useful muscles rather than overly-large and useless muscles. With the arrow nocked and bow drawn back Tenchi let the arrow fly, quickly reaching into his quiver to grab another arrow, nocking it onto his bow before letting it loose yet again. The first arrow pierced through the air, splitting the previous arrow down the middle. The second arrow however shot off rather far to the side, missing the target by a wide mile.
XXXXXWith that done it was time to work on making the arrow arc in a specific direction, useful for reaching enemies behind cover or even just behind another human. Cracking his neck he reached behind him, retrieving an arrow before nocking it upon the string of his bow. It seemed like a simple enough technique, but he knew from experience the difficulty of bow-based Bukijutsu. His father had used such a style, which is what resulted in Tenchi wanted to train in it himself. Narrowing his eyes upon the training dummy, the white-haired Hyuuga made an imaginary mark upon the wood, deciding that was where he would aim the arrow when he released it. Channeling chakra throughout the arrow shaft, Tenchi let the string go, sending the arrow flying through the air before curving almost immediately. Watching it curve mid-air caused a smile to spread over his lips, the arrow piercing through the wood roughly. The wood was splintered and almost looked as if it was hit by a bo-staff or great sword
XXXXXPerhaps it was time to work on Rapid firing, not the easiest of skills but also one of the nicer ones needed in a pinch. Useful when a person comes in close range upon the archer, they can fire off multiple arrows into the enemy, piercing them through with the arrow shafts. Smiling to himself Tenchi retrieved an arrow from his quiver, nocking it on his string before drawing it back. Tensing his shoulders firmly, the Hyuuga let the arrow fly, immediately reaching behind him to retrieve a second arrow, nocking that he let it fly instantly, repeating that action nearly ten times. Though it lacked almost all the accuracy of a normal arrow shot, it still managed to clip the training dummy four out of ten times; the first arrow of course hit, followed by two misses and three more hits. It was quite a useful ability if one can master hitting more than just a few of the arrows used. Though for now it didn’t have much use in his mind, considering he could instead pierce an enemies head with one shot over using ten or fifteen.
XXXXXDeciding to work on the spear style he wanted to learn Tenchi flicked his wrist, turning the bow into its previously compact form before placing it upon his back alongside the quiver. With that done he reached his hand near his chest, unsealing a large spear from it. The spear was rather jagged, with a spike on the very back end of it, alongside near the tip of the spear. The tip itself was a rather vicious looking thing, with two points, one larger than the other, yet the small one still remained deadly. The longer blade curved halfway up, resulting in what seemed to be an execution device, capable of slicing a man’s head off at the neck. It was an intimidating yet beautiful thing, something Tenchi took pride in having.
XXXXXSettling into a basic yet incredibly useful stance, Tenchi made sure to position his feet correctly, one foot forward, bringing the spear up so the blade was level with his shoulder, with the back of the spear reaching near his knee. Though it was a basic thing it was incredibly useful when attempting to pierce somebody at a close range, capable of quick bursts of strength and agility when performing the attack. The biggest benefit being that the leg holding the most of the user’s weight is able to push off the ground to thrust the spear forward into a person if needed. Nodding to himself in satisfaction Tenchi opted to remain in the stance, prepared to perform the next technique that was supposed to be learned whilst practicing his chosen style.
XXXXXIt was a simple yet effective thrust of the spear, capable of causing deep wounds that can hinder a person in a fight if needed. It was incredibly easy to perform should they have the proper arm-strength required to actually thrust the metal forward with enough strength to pierce skin. Though many people perceived such a thing as easy considering all you do is push your arms forward with the spear in hand, it was actually rather difficult to do without the proper training and mind-set. Something Tenchi wasn’t really lacking in the end, after years of archery practice he had developed more than enough muscle on his arms to thrust the spear forward to harm a person. With that thought in mind Tenchi lowered his body slightly, pushing off the ground to thrust the spear forward quickly, ripping through the wood of the training post.
XXXXXNodding to himself in approval he decided it was probably best to get the slashing motion down before even attempting to use the spear in battle. What point was there if all he could was thrust? A person merely had to weave their body left and right to avoid a thrust, whereas a slash requires more ducking and movement to dodge, leaving the opponent open for thrusts or kicks, whichever was needed in the heat of the moment. Cracking his neck Tenchi shot forward in a burst of speed, raising the spear before bringing it down swiftly, slicing through the wood with ease. Though the wound wouldn’t be very deep on an actual human, the length of the cut would be more than enough to result in immense pain and a huge hindrance on their combat ability, unless they were a complete berserker that is.
XXXXXDone with the basics attacks of the style it was time to move onto the movement portion of the spear, mainly the forward step and parry. Though there were various other useful techniques that could be learned at this point, like the downward thrust or the use of the spear-shaft to push a person down should they try to approach the user. Settling into the previous stance; right foot forward, spear held perpendicular with his shoulder, the farthest end of the shaft resting just near the back of his leg. The front step was incredibly useful when trying to add even more power to a basic thrust or slash, allowing the user to get that brief “oomph” behind an attack, something it might have lacked previously. While this move was incredibly simple, it was also incredibly useful; the biggest reason why Tenchi wanted to learn such a thing before moving on to the more advanced attacks that could be performed with a spear. Whilst remaining in the fighting stance, Tenchi took a single step forward, his body slowly inching forward as he did so. This could also be used as a scare tactic, when approached by a larger person with a larger weapon it often makes them seem even larger than previously, resulting in the mental fear of being hit sooner than thought to happen.
XXXXXSatisfied with the speed at which he could move forward the next technique Tenchi wished to learn was the basic downward thrust, something used when an enemy has fallen onto the ground, or when they are pushed down or perhaps even should he be in the air coming down on them, though he knew there were techniques down the “tree” that could be used much more efficiently than a basic thrust. Settling into the fighting stance from before, Tenchi aimed near the bottom of the training dummy with his spear. Considering the lack of an actual downed training dummy or opponent he had to make do with what he currently had, that being an upright training post made entirely of wood. Pulling the spear back ever so slightly Tenchi followed it up immediately with a thrust, shoving the spear downwards into the very bottom of the training post, splintering wood and kicking up dirt with the power held behind the thrust.
XXXXXDeciding to learn one more move before taking a break from learning the way of the spear, Tenchi figured the next best thing would be the parry. Naturally knowing how to correctly parry an attack was far more useful than another attack that one could perform. What good was another attack when you can’t even block an attack to follow up on? Cracking his neck he figured it was easier to just mentally picture an attack heading his way rather than asking another training Shinobi to attack him only to be shoved back onto their back or butt. Picturing a basic samurai with a normal-looking Katana, Tenchi took up his stance; this time focusing his weight on his left foot, pushing that forward as opposed to his right foot. The instant the “shadow” attacked him he gently pushed the slash to the side, thrusting his spear forward to push the shadow into a more vulnerable position, opening it up for any counter-attack he wished. Be it thrust or slash it was more likely to hit now than before when they weren't open.
XXXXXResealing his spear away, Tenchi revealed another seal, this one on the underside of his right arm. Sealed within was a basic Katana, one he was going to use to begin learning the Shunkan no Hagane, a supposedly incredibly useful style for a Katana wielder. The first technique to learn was just a basic chop of the blade, useful when attempting to slice a person vertically. Though not as useful as other techniques one could learn with the Katana, it was still good to master the basics before moving on to more difficult techniques like deflections or disarming techniques. Taking up a basic stance, both hands held firmly on the hilt of the blade, with the blade itself being held overhead. This was a basic slashing stance to be used with a Katana wielder. With the proper stance taken Tenchi swung his arms downwards, slicing cleanly through the training dummy, causing the two sections to fall to the sides with a dull thud. Happy with the damage dealt Tenchi moved on to the next training dummy, knowing it would be impossible use the broken pieces to learn other techniques.
XXXXXThe use of the next technique was much like the step in the spear style; however this one is used more for adding greater downward slashing power. It was a useful tool when faced off against another swordsman who is attempting to overpower you during a fight, simply step forward to add greater power to your attack and you’ll succeed in throwing them off. It was a simple technique, but one that was hard to fully master, it required impeccable timing and great lower-body strength to perform correctly without screwing up. It relied heavily on the toes and calves, using the muscles to push off the solid ground slowly but steadily. Then with a burst of power stepping forward a great length to deliver a powerful slash or stab. Settling into his previous stance of sword held high above his head in a two-handed grip Tenchi tensed his legs, pushing off the ground with his toes to step forward a single step. With the first step made he stepped forward once more, slicing downwards through the air with a powerful stroke.
XXXXXImmediately following up the forward step was a backwards step, used mostly to evade downwards slashes or sideways slices. It was also a useful positioning tool to back-step or sometimes even slightly side-step to position yourself for a better slash or stab. He could see the use in such a ability, considering how many times he was hit with a bokkun during his training with his sister when she was younger. It was a pain to not have a proper form for back-stepping. It also helped it looked rather badass when you narrowly dodge something yet still are able to counter-attack easily. It involved essentially the same thing as the forward step, except you push off with the tendons below the foot whereas the forward step involves the toes and calves. Bracing his legs for the movement Tenchi pushed off with his foot, pushing his body backwards a decent distance, almost one stride backwards.
XXXXXSatisfied with the results of the step the Hyuuga gave a deep inhale and exhale, rather tired from the intense training he’d done. Despite being basic techniques after repeatedly performing them over and over again it was quite tiring on both the muscles and mind, having to take in all of the information that came with practicing the techniques. Deciding to finish off his training session with two last techniques Tenchi stretched his arms, ridding them of the stiffness that accompanied such intense physical use. Cracking his neck he settled into a basic stance, feet spread apart with his left foot slightly further ahead of his right. His Katana was held perpendicularly with his shoulders, aiming directly in front of him. Stepping forward slowly Tenchi thrust his arm forward, shoving the blade into the wooden training dummy, piercing through the front of it. Placing his left hand against the post he jerked the blade from it, slicing it downwards to rid it of the wooden dust covering it.
XXXXXKnowing he needed to learn how to do a basic block with the Katana Tenchi settled into his previous stance, once more imagining a shadow training partner standing across from him. It was a useful training technique when you lacked a partner to attack you, though it wasn’t as good as one. It lacked the power and actual mental fear of being hit by an attack which caused the body to naturally defend itself from harm. Sure it was useful to master basics through its use, but aside from that it wasn’t used very often. Considering it was much easier to just request a friend help you train a certain technique as opposed to attempting to learn it through mental use only. Closing his eyes firmly the white-haired Hyuuga brought his blade up, placing his left hand behind the metal to brace it against the downwards slash the shadow made against him. It was an easy enough block, one that would only really be used for basic vertical slashes and possibly thrusts if a person was quick enough to bring it up.
XXXXXThe next block was the lower block, used to block horizontal slices and upwards slashes, though very few people actually attempted to use an upwards slash. Finding it much easier to simply use a downwards slash and cut them as opposed to losing strength trying to bring your arm upwards from a low position. Placing his sword in the correct position Tenchi braced his arm against the blade, imagining both a sideways cut, and an upwards cut, adjusting the positioning to fit each cut. This was yet another easy move, but a very useful one when in a pinch. He’d prefer to parry something rather than block it, but it was still useful. Silently contemplating to himself if he should do more training he stabbed his Katana into the ground, leaning on it to relax for a moment.
XXXXXOpting to continue his training Tenchi pulled his Katana from the earth, cleaning it off before holding it lazily at his side. This was yet another type of block, this one being more of a parry as opposed to a simple block. Cracking his neck again Tenchi brought his blade up, picturing the shadow opponent in his mind once again. With that done he waited for the shadow to approach him, patiently standing there with his Katana raised. This was another simple technique; involving the use of pivoting on your leg whilst blocking to knock the blade away from the user. It was a useful thing when in a fight, capable of deflecting some of the more advanced techniques of other sword styles. Focusing once more on the shadow opponent Tenchi brought his blade up, feeling metal connect with metal as he stood there, legs spread slightly apart. Pivoting on his right leg he shoved the blade away, causing it to connect with the earth below them. With that done he stepped forward, thrusting the blade forward to pierce its “stomach” cleanly.
XXXXXThis next technique could be used against a training dummy, something that would make it a lot easier to get down as opposed to the ones involving blocking an actual attack to master. This one involved grinding the blades together to close the distance between the user and the opponent, which can then be followed up with a counterattack or kick to knock the enemy away from you. Shooting forwards towards the training dummy Tenchi slashed forward with his blade, causing it to collide with a loud thud against the wood. Though it sliced partially through the wood, it was still useful practice about the proper form for colliding the blades. Despite being a rather simple technique it was also hard to master, one slipup and there’s the possibility of slicing your hand or worse. Pulling the blade from the wood Tenchi swiped the blade downwards, ridding it of the imaginary blood on it.
XXXXXSheathing the Katana finally, Tenchi sealed it away within his arm, reaching up to unseal the spear from his chest. Settling into the basic fighting stance of the Mori no Ichigeki the Hyuuga took a deep inhale before slowly exhaling out, narrowing his eyes on to the training dummy. This was one of the only techniques he decided to not learn from the stage previously. It was a basic knockdown that was used when an enemy attempts to dodge and immediately close the gap between the user and the opponent. It was quite a useful thing to learn when trying to master the spear fighting style. It allowed for a follow up of a downward thrust or stomp if you wish to incapacitate the enemy to bring in as a prisoner. Imagining the usual shadow opponent in his head Tenchi kept his basic stance up, thrusting his spear forward, watching as the shadow dodged to the side before dashing forward only to be met with shaft of Tenchi’s spear, shoving forward to send the shadow onto its back. With that done he followed it up by raising his spear up slightly, thrusting it downwards into the face of the shadow. Stepping backwards he spun the spear around, sealing it away within his chest. That was enough training for his actual melee based Bukijutsu training, he wanted to finish the rest of the archery training he was originally planning on doing.
XXXXXRetrieving his longbow from his back he snapped his wrist outwards, resulting in the bow reaching its full length of six foot four inches. With that done he retrieved an arrow from his quiver, nocking it onto the string of his bow before taking a deep breathe. He’d heard from his father previously that this technique was relatively hard to master since it involved a lot of physics and dynamics. Leaving the string loose Tenchi reached up with his hand, closing his eyes before slowly waiting for the wind to blow against it in an attempt to gather all the information he needed to properly fire the sidewinder. Channeling chakra throughout the shaft of the arrow Tenchi drew back the string tensely. Waiting patiently for the sweet spot of the pullback the Hyuuga slowed his breathing to a near halt, a soft exhale happening every few seconds. This resulted in a calming of his heart-rate, which makes it easier to focus on one thing to properly aim a technique. Moments later he let the arrow fly, the string making a loud twang sound when the arrow shot from the bow. Watching as it curved through the air gracefully he gave a smile, seeing the arrow rip through the wooden post before sticking firmly into the earth below it.
XXXXXSatisfied with the amount of damage the arrow caused Tenchi inhaled deeply, closing his eyes before stretching the muscles in his back gently. All the use of his back and arm muscles were really starting to wear down on him. He could probably only perform one or two more techniques before his arms gave out and he had to take an extremely long break. Thankfully that would allow him to go retrieve his headband, as opposed to simply grabbing his headband and not training for a few days. Despite training for a few hours this morning at the Hyuuga compound Tenchi knew he needed to train harder now that he was a Genin. If he was going to protect his sisters from harm at all he was going to have train a lot harder than usual. Gladly accepting the ability to train before doing missions Tenchi retrieved another arrow from his quiver before closing his eyes to relax himself for a moment before continuing to train his bow techniques. He supposed he should practice firing a bow with his Byakugan, but that would come at a later time. Now was the time to just master the basics of the bow and various other tricks of the bow.
XXXXXNocking the arrow upon the string once more Tenchi opened his eyes slowly, focusing his piercing gaze on the training dummy before him. This was a more utility based technique, done by firing a chakra infused arrow up into the air to gather the electrical charge of the atmosphere. It was a useful technique should it actually work properly like he hoped it would. By charging a large amount of flexible chakra into the arrow the user proceeds to fire it into the air, causing the arrow to gain electrical charge by way of rising and falling at such a rapid speed. Despite seeming rather arrogant; by the fact that the user just shot an arrow into the air therefor wasting a perfectly useful arrow in the opponent’s eyes, it had its uses. When it made contact with the earth the electricity discharges outwards, resulting in an extremely sluggish moving enemy. This would allow the user to follow up with a basic arrow to the head, or possibly to the legs to immobilize the opponent. With the mental breakdown of the technique done Tenchi aimed his bow into the air, angling it so the arrow would instead fall onto the training dummy as opposed to simply discharging its electricity into the earth. Letting the arrow rip from the bow and into the air Tenchi took a deep breathe watching as the arrow shot up into the air before arching downwards to come falling down at a rapid speed. Coming in contact with the training dummy the white haired Genin winced, looking at the large crater the arrow caused.
XXXXXDeciding to take a break from his training of the bow Tenchi placed his bow upon his back, making sure to compact it before doing so. With that done the male unsealed a bottle of water from his wrist, tilting his head back to take a large gulp of water. Finishing that up the male poured the remainder of the water onto his head, resulting in a drenched head of hair and shirt. Grasping the hem of his shirt Tenchi pulled it over his head, revealing his toned body below it. Sweat glistened off his muscles which rippled and tensed with each move he made, a rather normal thing for any archery practitioner. Deciding it was finally time to head to the Otokage’s office Tenchi sealed his wet shirt away, walking off the training field. 』™
♦▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|"An eye for an eye..."|├▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬♦ Izuma would arrive at the Dojo to see that there were already quite a number of Genin training here. It was a bit unsettling to him as he was not the strongest of his fellow Genin and by far while they were already ahead in their training Izuma himself was just about to get started. As he walked in he began to look around the dojo noticing that many of the other people training were not average Genin. Others had bloodlines as well and seemed to be quite proficient with their skills. Others seemed to be more skilled in Bukijutsu and Taijutsu than that of Ninjutsu. While for many others when he looked to his right seemed to show the opposite. "I guess I'm not alone when it comes to having to work on skills.", he said to himself as he scratched the back of his head and seemed to lose some of the tension he had when he walked into this place. "I just hope that I don't bother anyone else too much.", he said under his breath as he seemed to be concerned that his training and possible slip ups may cause someone else to suffer.

______
Ruby walked into the dojo starting to finally wake up. She looked around the area and hoped there was a water source somewhere in here. She had an entire style to learn, something very few genin learned to do. She saw a source in a small pool out back of the dojo, so she went outside and entered the water, up to her calves. She took a deep stance in the water and went into a slow kata, tossing out punches which sent balls of water the size of ones fist from her hands, wielding the raw element itself. She went through the basic attacks of the style. They were fairly straightforward but low ranked and powerful, making them perfect for her chakra consumption. She went through them quickly over and over again until she had them embeded in her muscle memory.
She stood up and cracked her fingers loudly prepareing for the next stage in her training. She took a breath and plunhed into the water for the training. She couldnt hold her breath for too long, by shinobi standards but she could hold it long enough to run through a kata under water. She brought her hands around in the water, concentrating on the currents and suddenly would speed along in the kick. She would shoot across the pool and impact the side of the area. The water would tremor on the surface from the impact. She smiled at the successful attack and spun into her axe kick in the water, the heel slicing through the water as if it wasnt there, followed by a spike of invisible force from the water itself. She lifted her hands and brought a torrent of water on all sides of her meant to shield her from attacks in the area. She then sliced her hand through the water in the form of a grip, a sword forming in her grasp as she did so. She would then kick off the bottom and resurface here.
She moved back to the shallow end of the water to do the last set of techniques for her style that involved water. She rotated her hands above the water, water rising into her palms as she did so. She flipped her palms upward and worked her chakra to keep it spinning for her, tightening the chakra around the tip and narrowing the rotation until the whine of a fast spinning drill could be heard. She would suddenly unfocus the chakra and have the tip of the drill expand into a whirlpool in her hand. She would have it collect more and more water, expanding as she made wide flourishes and caused it to tilt and crash back down into the pool. She had one final technique for this portion of her training. She suddenly took off around the pool, and the water began rotating along her path. She had to move quicker. She pushed her body through its paces and started to get a rotating body of water around her. She pushed herself just a bit further, her joints complaining as she increased her speed further, the water starting to swirl violently in a whirlpool. She jumped out of it and watched the current run round and round for a bit to relax. All she succeded in doing was making herself dizzy. She waited momentarily and focused her chi shutting her eyes, feeling the flow of her chakra.
She pushed the chakra against the limiter of her first gateway. She knew it was there and focused. To force it through or to unlock it was the question. The hachimon was meant to be dirrect force but this was her own body she was talking about. She tried to ease the flow of chakra through to widen her chakra pathways until it opened. It felt like she was getting somewhere but she knew that was her optimism getting to her. She wanted to learn this very badly. She started pushing instead and felt a strain on her network, her vision having little sparks popping in her eyes as she did so. She relaxed and had the stars fade away and her equlibream settle before she would try again. She gathered her courage and will and suddenly pushed her chakra violently in her system, forcing the first gate open. She felt a rush of energy and saw her chakra visibly around her body. The rose petals were swirling upward as she stood there, in a rather violent manner. She smiled as she felt the world seem to slow down around her. She knew the gates detrimental effects on the body, and could feel her nerves twitching all over her body from the stimulas. She let out a soft sigh and was smileing widely as various parts of her twitched. She looked over to a dummy and was running through calculations in her head. She was measuring the distance to the target and trying to figure her current acceleration rate, or at least her normal rate and she doubled it based on the knowledge she had over the gates. She suddenly moved across the field in a blinding burst, delivering a kick to the dummies chest, sending it into the air with a crack. She would push off with all fours and reappear behind the dummy wrapping it in her arms and starting a spin. She would increase her spin to a rapid descent crashing into the ground and landing several yards away, the dummy in pieces as she breathed heavy, laughing at the pain the technique sent through her body. Her eyes showed the pain was being trained into pleasure as she sat there resting lightly, but she knew she had to learn the gate of rest before her body tore itself apart. She started to focus her chakra to push through the barrier once more but soon noticed that the pain and pleasure corsing through her body from the lotus was making it hard to control her chakra. She had to clear her deliciously swimming head before she could focus her chakra through the gate of rest. She shut her eyes and calmed herself, remaining perfectly still and gave her chakra a huge shove. She would glow bright green as she activated the gate of rest and her entire body sighed in relief in one relaxing wave. Her legs started to buckle under her and she couldnt help let out a soft sound (that isnt appropriate for terms of service) at the intense relaxation of her entire body. She shut down her gates slowly and lifted her chin up and to the side cracking her neck. She had a few minutes of relaxation before she would attempt to learn the next few gates. She would also make sure she remained perfectly still due to the effects of moving under these gates at her stages of training. She didnt really want broken bones honestly. She liked pain but not that much pain. She decided a meditative stance was the best way to learn this. Therefore she sat and crossed her legs, in a relaxed manner and let her hands sit on her thighs so she wouldnt be moving except the natural rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. She took a rather deep breath and exhaled for the next gate. She would be moving into the gate of life next and this one was the first that promised to hurt her a bit in doing so. She let out her breath slowly and pushed her chakra in that same violent motion that would burst forth the gate of life. She instantly felt her muscles stiffen and the blood vessals expanded for better bloodflow, her veins bulging out and skin turning a shade of red as her chakra rose from around her body lifting small chunks of debris from the ground and breaking it apart. She felt she could push this a bit more before she would give in to exhaustion, though these gates were honestly just rejuvenating her. She pushed herself straight into the gate of pain, her eyes fluttering at her muscles tearing a bit even though she was maintaining herself to sit perfectly still. She had to push forward. Just one more gate and she would have gone as far as her body could physically take at her level. She steadied herself for the lovely pain that was about to hit her and gave a large push through her system. She instantly felt her body break out in a heat she wasnt used to. This immediately worried her but a quick tour of her memories confirmed that this was an effect of the gate of limit. Her body was overheating from the limiters being removed from her body. She went through a cooldown, shutting each gate down slowly, in reverse order to keep from passing out, then pushed back to the second gate to get some of her energy back and sat there, hoping her body wasnt damaged from just sitting here. The ground around her certinly was. There was a perfect ring around her from her chakra aura as it flared through the gates. She let out a sig of relief once more as she shut everything down. She then flushed slightly and looked around to make sure nobody had been watching her. She didnt want anything to know her secret involving pain.
Before she began on her next stages she had already determined what two styles she would be learning. She had them set out in stone on her to do list and she stood to do so almost immediately. She set herself into the stance that would be used with the weapon. She didnt unfold the rose because she didnt really feel like showing anyone the weapon, but she knew each and every curve of that weapon that it wasnt difficult to put herself into the beginning stances of this style. She ran through a quick kata of strikes and blocking motions, moving her hands as if their was a weapon within them. Within a few moments she felt confident in the begining stage of her style. She moved straight to the next step of both styles, trying to form them into a customized style to call her own.She practiced taking small steps forward and backward and moving with fluidity to improve her power. Her moves were starting to flow together nicely. She worked with her pivot swings and strikes, jabbing this way and that, all the while holding nothing in her hands. She really should find a mop or something. She decided not to, but instead pressed onward, amping up the speed of her strikes. She suddenly pulled crescent rose from her belt and with a spun flourish the entire weapon grew to its full length, the large scythe singing in the air. She focused her chakra and begain releasing it on the apexes of strikes, sending waves of power from her weapon as she did so. She parried invisible attacks from the air and pushed away invisible opponents with the haft of her weapon. She wouldnt fire it in the area, which would give away its abilities. To any onlookers it would simply be a large red scythe. She went through all of her techniques for several hours, and in the end would be a bit winded but had most of them engrained in her muscle memory. She had a few more things to do but they mostly involved the academy...so thats where she set off to. The academy.

&&&&&Ｙａｎｍｅｉ〖 艷梅 〗║Ｇｅｎｉｎ║ｔａｍｅｒ║ｓｅｎｓｏｒ
"Ｙｏｕｒ ｆａｔｅ ｉｓ Ｓａｆｅ ｉｎ ｍｙ ｈａｎｄｓ."
Yanmei left the area Apollo and Yanyu was in heading to a more isolated location in the area. If she was going to train she wanted to be able to completly focus. Seeing as she could sense things quite well, she didn't what the presence of others to completely bother her. The further she was away from them, the easier it was to block their presence. Having always fought with hand to hand combat taijutsu wasn't really anything new to her, it was just not something she had known had such a term before. She figured a good way to start her training was to recall some of the physical fighting moves she had learned. Yanmei had come to understand the name of such a style was Sazanami. Standing in the begiinning position, Yanmei quickly stepped forward and made a swiping motion with her hand as if she was to deflect and attack. Footing One(E) and Parry(E) learned
Those steps were the main ones, what ever user had to learn before going onto the next so Yanmei really didn't have to focus much time on them. One thing people would notice about her training, if they bothered to look in her direction was the fact she moved with her eyes closed. She was blind anyways so really no point in keeping them open. Recalling a past fight she had with someone once, she moved the same way she had then. Reinacting the scene in her head. Moving to the side as if there was an opponent when in reality there really wasn't. Sinking down onto the ground, in other words lowering her body, it would look like she was ducking from an attack at the upper body. Suddenly she would get up and strike her invisible opponent with her fingers in the middle of the chest in such a manner it would have caused much pain. She didn'nt stop there, she jabbed a few more times feeling the way her arms moved, the motion they made. Every detail to how you moved was important. One flaw in the muscle could be the difference between life and death.She repeated these moves a few times over and over again mixing them with some of the first two she had tried out. The Horse stance she used mainly as training to gain strength and balance in her legs. It was not easy to remain in such a position. The better she could move her body and in various ways, the better chance she'd have in battle. The effort caused a couple drops of sweat to form and roll down her back. It was a good sign. At least she took it as one. Sweating meant one was making effort. She didn't want to improve her agility but her strength as well. She may be adorable but she was deadly. Footing Two: Horse stance[D] and Bell ring learned[D]
For the next part of her training she decided to use training dummies to help. Locating one within the academy she placed her hand on it to get a good feel of what kind of dummy it was. Wooden, soft etc. Counting the steps she took away from it she took in a breath planning what she was going to do next. Picturing the dummy as a mobile enemy she moved forward. She was rushing into an enemies attack. With her left hand outstretched she redirectioned one of the dummies arms. Her right hand jammed into what would have been the equivilent of a chin as hard as she could. The wooden head flew off rolling onto the ground. "Well that wasn't very sturdy now was it...." She wasn't going to put that back on. Sweeping strike (C) learned
As if she was expecting the dummy to attack back, Yanmei quickly side stepped. The movement would have been quite small if you thought about it. However, sometimes in a fight you didn't need big movements to dodge an attack. If you barely swerved out of the way, you could easily rush back in and give them one hell of a counter attack. Step after step she trained the distance of how far she wished to avoid the attack. In most situations, a person didn't really hit a big area. There was just a matter of watching the person and making sure they didn't swing in the direction you dodged in. Sometimes it was necessary to side step various times befor efinally getting in an attack. Half-step (C) learned
Taking another half step Yanmei added something different to the last one. She spun on her feet, swinging a leg as if she was kicking something. It wasn't a very fast spin, but if landed right power would be added to attacks. If you looked at it in a certain way, it probably could confuse the target as to where you were going to attack. Landing on her foot she quickly pushed off her heel entering another spin step ending it with a palm thrust at an imaginary chest. Again and again she repeated the movement. Slowly she tried to add speed into it, but in a way it would not throw off the move. Doing it various times helped her train the dizzy effect it could give when performed too often in a row. Spin step (C) learned
Taking a moment for a break Yanmei wasn't sure how she was going to work on the next moves. It really was best if she had a partner to spare with but Yanyu seemed busy. Busy and ticked off. Best not to spar with her now. It was possible that after brushing up on a few things that she could test it on Apollo? Especially this ninjutsu stuff. She was going to need to get a feel for them in a fight before attacking anything or anyone too seriously. Deciding to return to an imaginary fight in her mind she moved as if she was fighting an invisible man. Side stepping, ducking, dodging until finally she moved in for a move. Heading into the attack of a straight punch she would grab the non existent arm and using the momentum of the punch, redirection her opponents body so they were flung into the floor. A useful and good move if you asked me. Pity she wasn't really using it on anyone. Attack Redirection: Upper Body (C)
♦▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|"An eye for an eye..."|├▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬♦ Izuma would open the scroll that contained the fire style jutsu. As he read it it appeared that he understood most of it. However there were hand signs and parts that he wasn't entirely sure of because of the general look of the smug art work. "I guess I should have grabbed a new scroll...", he said as he let out a rather annoyed sigh and than began stood to his feet. "Well, no point in crying about it now...", he said as he seemed to look around again and see that others were having their own issues. In thus using that to reassure himself that he wasn't alone, that even some people older than he was had to continue to train and learn new things in order to survive.
[ Learning Ichi - Post 1/1 ] Izuma would right away begin to focus chakra in his hand and focus his mind. As he did so he began to feel a slight warning and tingling sensation. Upon open his eyes and look he would see that he had indeed had a small source of heat and fire the index finger of his right hand. As he moved it about he would notice that it was a rather simple jutsu, but he would have it's uses in and out of combat when he need to cut into or burn something away. Izuma couldn't help but give a smile as he learned his first Jutsu outside of his bloodline techniques.

Theme Suoh walked into the Dojo, looking around at all of his loyal shinobi, all of them were ready... Suoh's crimson eyes cascaded his surroundings until he spotted a shinobi new to this way of life, Izuma. Or so Suoh thought... Suoh thought testing the boy would be a bit fun... "Izuma!" Suoh waved to him a smirk on his face and a devilish glimmer in his fiery eyes. He began to walk to Izuma with a fast pace "Izuma, how is your training going?"

♦▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|"An eye for an eye..."|├▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬♦ Izuma would flinch causing himself to drop the scroll that he was reading on Fire Release Jutsu when he heard his name. He than looked over his shoulder and realize that the individual that was addressing him was none other than the Otokage himself. Izuma would right away bow tot he kage as he blushed as he seemed to be rather embarrassed someone just shouting his name would cause him to jump and causing him to overreact in such a manner. "Lord Kuroh, my training ins going, I guess at a slow pace if you wish to know.", he said before standing up straight and scratching the back of his head as he seemed to be a bit ashamed that he was making such slow progress. But learning wasn't really his strong area to begin with, however he wanted to prove that even though he was a slow learner that he was able to pull his own weight around here. "I apologize for being so jumpy, I didn't expect you to address me so sudden Lord Kuroh-sama.", Izuma added as he seemed to be concerned that he was being too impolite or maybe even too formal with the kage at this time.
"You must be strong mentally and physically endure what I willingly do!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aoi Uchiha entered the Dojo looking for someone. Her caretaker had told her that he would be here training. Aoi scanned the dojo as she ventured further into it. At the very back of the dojo was the man she was looking for. Aoi quickly picked up her pace and approached Apollo. "Good morning Apollo." She said to the older shinobi. Aoi watched him carefully, hands in her pockets. Aoi thought about when she first met the Hyuuga before her. She was wandering a forest and was attacked by bandits. Apollo showed her mercy and prevented their attack. She looked back to Apollo, waiting for a response. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Doing this and that and the other, the lone blonde of Otogakure sat in a circle of smaller children, whom were listening to him tell a story. "And then, your Lord Apollo-sama slayed the fierce Dragon and the world was saved. From there, he went on to get the princess and together, they lived happily ever after. . ." Clapping and shouting, the children nodded to his words before getting up and running off, scattering from a nice little tale. The elder ninja merely sighed, looking at the book he held between his finger tips. ". . If only the world was this simple. . " If. . . only, aside from that he threw it aside; the literature hitting the ground with a plop as he then stood, turning none other than little Aoi herself. He hadn't seen her since bringing her into the village, but of course he was happy to see one of his many protege~ "Little Aoi-chan~ Where have my red eyed beauty been?"His voice mused, petting he hair and muffling it before hearing her call, a distinct frown assuming his features after. She knew better than to be so interpersonal with him. ". . I'll let it slide this time Aoi, but remember who your Lord is after today. Another mishap and I might have to put you through a rather. . difficult regimen of training~ Hhaha~"
Beginning to walk forth, Apollo started picking up and moving things around, for better use later on. The children were always so wild. "So, Aoi-chan; how has one of my favorites been doing? Did you come to me for a check-up. . . or did you just miss my face~" Smiling, the blonde shifted on his heel to face her; picking the last of the kids things up and placing it away. He seemed jovial as possible.
