๑๑๑๑Shrugging as his hands slipped into his pockets, he followed Masato with the slightest of protest, if anything at this point because Masato assumed a decent bit about him. Not that he was wrong, however he had overlooked a large flaw. "You do know there's enough ninjutsu out there meant for close encounters right?" By this point the two had already raced towards the clearing, his protest falling on deaf ears. At first he was annoyed about the whole thing, however his attitude quickly shifted. If he could hold his own with these two giants without a single ninjutsu used outside of the ones given at the academy, it would give him a guess as to how effective he was without it. After all, he carried within him the greatest taijutsu to ever come out of Konoha. It was meant for just such an occasion. What these two seemed to miss however, was there was a reason Hideo carried a katana across his back. It certainly wasn't ninjutsu, however he intended fully to use it.
Slipping his hands out of his pockets, the boy forced a single seal as Karuto went straight for Masato. This was how Hideo envisioned the fight going, the smaller of the three being forgotten at times. It was fine this way, in fact it was part of his strategy should it remain that way. However, it wouldn't stay that way for long. Once he revealed himself there would be no turning back, even Masato despite his gruff nature was already hip to Hideo's antics.
Methodically unsheathing his katana, the Hyuga spun it once before spreading his right foot out, dust kicking up as he got his footing. Katana in one hand eyes on the pair a few yards away, he took a moment to assess his opponents, more so the Karuto. Hideo had to admit, he found himself surprised at the fluidity with which he could perform given his frame. It had to be a style on his part he was using that allowed him to move like that. He wondered how Masato would respond to such a straight forward opening gambit, however he didn't doubt the guy would do just fine and more than likely repay the gesture in kind.

As he made it to the clearing, he spun around, his eyes quickly meeting Karuto as he dashed forward. Instinctively, his eyes transformed, shifting to a crimson hue as Karuto's movement somehow seemed to slow down, becoming easily readable.
The single tomoe spun upon the activation of the sharingan, tracing the motions around it. Karuto's fist lacked the coordinated power behind, his footing all wrong to deliver a powerful strike. His gaze caught the back hand dropping to the ground for support. ' A kick? ' he thought to himself, surprised of the action the top heavy man took. As his foe dropped his stature back for the kick to balance on the single foot and arm, Masato dropped into an extremely low squat that would place his head just below Karuto's leg. This position supplemented his right hand's decent into the earth in the form of a fist. Channeling his chakra into the fist, he enhanced the destructive power of his fist excessively so. Upon impact, the ground within fifteen feet of himself broke loose, shifting beneath Karuto to take his balance away from him as chunks shifted at different heights between his limbs while balanced on the arm and leg. As Karuto would be unbalanced, Masato performed several back flips, putting distance between the two.
Masato's view as he came back to his feet, roughly twenty feet from Karuto revealed that Hideo had drawn a blade. His eyes narrowed, wondering if have to match the genin's blade with his own. No. This was a test for him. Was he capable of fighting without relying on his maximum power.

As Masato ducked under Karuto's blow their eyes met for one second and Karuto grinned. He grinned because he was having the time of his life, but also because he had done precisely what he wanted him to do. Letting go of the ground with his other hand and free leg, Karuto through his upper body forward: much like he would if he were doing a crunch ab-work out. While doing this he brought his extended leg down, the same leg Masato had just ducked under. With the momentum of his upper-body, his willful propelling of his leg down and Karuto's natural body weight, the blow would be heavy. His leg would fall directly on top of one of Masato's shoulders as he was punching the ground beneath him. Of course, this led Karuto to fall onto said ground. As his palm and foot weren't touching it he didn't have to worry about loosing his balance but, rather, as the now broken earth rose up in response to the blow he met it falling the opposite direction. The result with a hard landing, with a jagged end of a rock even forming a good size scratch behind his right shoulder. As soon as he landed, though, he rolled back onto his feet and backpelled away, using the disengage tactic he had learned.
He came to rest a dozen or two meters away and looked at the other two Shinboi. Hideo had drawn a blade and watched as Karuto and Masato fought, two things the Raiken didn't agree with. Reaching over his shoulder and wiping away some of the blood that accumulated, he pointed to the Hyuuga "Hey! You gonna fight or what?" Dropping down into the low stance he had originally initiated, he prepared himself for a forthcoming assault.

๑๑๑๑As Masato responded swiftly, the earth cracked and burst outward with the force of his punch, Karuto seeming to take it in stride rolling with the punches, or punch rather. Shouting towards him, it seemed Karuto was not pleased with Hideo's choice to stand and simply observe. The man's eyes glanced at the blade with what looked like a grimace on his face. It seemed he assumed Hideo intended to use it offensively at the moment, however he would find that to be an incorrect assessment of what he planned. Hideo was no fool, he could not take the physical damage these two could outright, and so his katana served to be an extension of himself, the only armor standing between him and quite possibly some broken bones.
Swiftly the boy twirled the katana twice this time, however as he brought it back the manner with which he held it was different. The blade came to a halt backwards, hilt out in front and the flat of the blade running back and up the length of his arm as if holding a large kunai. The boy then smirked muttering with a slight shrug, "As you wish." In that moment Hideo ran towards Karuto, hopping up onto the edge of a large slab of earth which had just been raised. Running across it the genin jumped high, descending quickly and bringing across his body his right hand and with it the hilt of his katana followed by the flat blade still taught against his arm. His aim was to come down with the metal across Karuto's face, but more importantly close the gap between them.
If there was one this he knew, it was that Karuto was more than capable of reacting to the attack quickly. This he expected. Not only that, but he expected he might pay for the maneuver soon enough. He held off on his true intentions for now, and just as well kept his ability to attack from afar hidden, for the time being at least. So far it seemed all of them would have to be up close and personal to do any damage, but soon enough they'd learn he was different in that respect. That is, if he lasted long enough in this contest of strength to show them his true potential. For that however, he'd have to sheath his weapon. Perhaps that time would come soon.

As Masato had begun his back flipping series., Karuto had attempted a downward kick. Has he naturally been closer to Masato's speed, perhaps his reaction to the quick ducking motion would have succeeded. Rising to his feet Masato realized that his chest had been grazed. It was ever so slightly but the kick karuto tried to deliver had nearly met its target. Luckily it had only left a red mark in its place. . ' I didn't even notice...' he thought, surprised by the action.
Hideo moved, his blade pressed against his forearm in reverse grip. Masato instinctively knew this hindered his range of the weapon. Still. He pressed an attack on Karuto. Masato's eyes remained glued on the two, analyzing their every movement. Karuto had quickly closed the gap between the two. Hideo seemed to be restraining himself... why? Masato furrowed his brow.
Masato leaped forward, closing the distance between himself and Hideo on the side opposite the arm holding the blade. His leap simultaneously brought his right knee into Hideo's rib cage, which would sammich him against Karuto if he remained in place. Masato had considered his kick may cause Hideo to drop his blade's position, saving Koroto's face. Still, that wasn't his primary objective. He knew the man was quick enough to react to the change reguaedless.

A straight forward attack? Ballsy, but dumb. Karuto would shift his stance when Hideo charged at him, bringing his hands up into a boxers stance and bouncing back and forth on the balls of his feet. "Bring it!" He called out.
Time to show both of these guys what he could really do.
Hideo held his blade in a reverse grip and jumped off a large slab of earth, and into the sky. Grinning, Karuto awaited his return to the earth that, soon enough, brought the Hyuuga to him. He had trained against opponents much faster than this kid, so dodging this was child's play. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Masato running at him. Apparently he wanted to attack Hideo while the Hyuuga was busy. Not very honorable. It was just then that Karuto changed his plans and sprung into action.
Bobbing his head out of the way against Hideo's strike was easy enough. He had trained to move just the most minimal amount to avoid strikes and this one was no different. Another part of his training: striking at limbs! He had mastered a technique, a form of training, that taught him to hit the limbs as an immediate counter attack whenever he had the ability to dodge something. True, he could have shot his hand out like a viper and intercepted the blow without even having to dodge, but using Hideo's momentum against him would help Karuto save him from Masato's kick.
His counter attack was launched in the blink of an eye. Using the grapple technique he learned he shot his hand out and grabbed Hideo by his free forearm. Spinning on his right heel. moving him to the side by about 2 feet; he would whip the kid around with him. This would cause Masato's attack to miss, causing his leaping knee strike to carry Masato harmlessly past Karuto as the Taijutsu Practitioner likely had no way to change direction mid air. After completing the spin while holding Hideo, Karuto would release the kid and throw him at Masato's back as he flew past. Whether or not the attack would land Karuto would flip backwards and position himself on top of one of the loosened slabs of earth, much akin to the one Hideo had launched himself off of
tl:dr
Karuto Snatached Hideo out of the air, whirled around as Masato went sailing past them and then threw Hideo towards Masato. All techniques/applicable training are in the spoiler

Every Inch of Sail Rank: B :: Training Description: This training focuses on increasing the user's reflexive ability to avoid an attack while simultaneously launching a countermove to heavily punish mistakes. As such, this skill focuses on striking an opponents oncoming attacks specifically instead of simply dodging. It's an attempt to wear down an opponent while you fish for that knock down attack. After this training, when an opponent launches an attack that you can dodge successfully, you can instead strike out at their limbs with one of your own. This transforms the attack into a complex one if simple, or spiritual if complex when interacting with their attack to give you the upperhand.
So many things were going through his mind that he was having a small amount of trouble keeping track of them all. First his friend was back in action though he appeared to have lost all his bloody marbles. Then there was the fact that Choumei had been annoying the hell out of him all night long last night and did not let him get any sleep. Choumei may legitimately be his friend but he was one annoying bug when he wanted to be. Making his way into the building proper he was greeted with the sight of one of his students, sparring two others he did not know. Giving a polite and simple bow to the group he smiled and watched as they trained. Though in the back of his mind he could not help but twitch a little bit. It was getting harder and harder to resist the urges these days. Maybe he would go on another pilgrimage to another village or something.

> Iron resiliency: The user has gone through tough enough training, being roughed up and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user's fortitude is mildly increased. > Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The user's striking strength is mildly increased. > Swift Foot: A well trained individual is usually faster than an untrained individual, and the practitioners of the Iron Fist understand this fact more than anyone. However, those of the Iron fist not only accomplish this boost of speed….they also do it in armor! The user is now unaffected by the additional weight of armor (to a logical limit), and when the user is out of armor, their body and technique speed is greatly increased at the loss of the protection. They are much more adept at bursting into action, going from standing to 100% in single moments. Conversely, the user can now perform these techniques without needing armor. Must relearn every technique at half the learning cost to perform techniques without armor to learn the different distances and timing of the techniques. Overrides restriction. > True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. Increases Stamina by +25 for every style mastered. > Satori [ Enlightenment ]: Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. The user's strength and fortitude is increased heavily. > Offensive Style: Knife Stances: The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Speed of all Bukijutsu employing small arms is mildly increased. > Offensive Style: Simple Play: With this training, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch. The user's reflexes are mildly increased. > Trick Style: Knife Toss: The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. Confers a slight reflex bonus to the practitioner. > Offensive Style: Artless Draw: The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash. Slightly increases the speed of strikes made when drawing a small weapon. > Trick Style: Retreating Feet: The practitioner, already acquainted with many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. The practitioner's footsteps are rendered silent to all who do not have enhanced hearing, and the footsteps they leave in soft ground are shallow. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. > Trick Style: Blade’s Edge: The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip. Confers a slight increase to the user's reflexes. > Offensive Style: Stepless: The practitioner has become so used to performing quick and silent steps that they scarcely realize that they themselves are moving. The user's speed and reflexes are mildly boosted. > Offensive Style: Mistborn Stepping: Silent, swift, and sharp. The practitioner is able to creep about at a decent pace while making close to zero noise. While moving through an area where cover or some obscuring factor is present (buildings, people, fog, etc.), the practitioner gains a moderate bonus to speed and reflex. > Skill: Multitasking: While the first two stages of the style revolve around the very basics of how to use a bow, the third stage incorporates the use multiple arrows into a more stylish way of battling. Mastery allows the user to simultaneously fire multiple arrows with any technique that does not specifically state otherwise, and allows the Arrow Creation technique to create up to three arrows at once with no increase in cost. > Skill: Manipulation: Manipulating the bow itself is simple, but controlling the arrows is very difficult. Many enhancements can be made to arrows to give them different flight paths, but buying those kinds of arrows is expensive and making them is difficult, so a method was developed wherein the user can freely alter how an arrow flies without need for such trifles. During this training, the user practices firing arrows with abnormal hand positions. Reduces the Stamina cost of bow-related Bukijutsu techniques (including Formless Styles) by 10 Stamina, to a minimum of 5 Stamina. > Skill: Adaptability: For the most part, the style thus far has focused on techniques to be used while stationary. However, this leads to many problems when fighting alone in situations that demand frequent movement. During this training exercise, the practitioner is to practice all known techniques while running, jumping, and maneuvering across a battlefield. After mastery, the user can align shots even while running and jumping.

๑๑๑๑Hideo had his hands full with Karuto in front of him and the oncoming swift attack, a grapple of sorts it seemed. Perfect, it was exactly what he'd expected from a man well versed in taijutsu. There was nothing he could do to stop the attack, it was simply too fast. The moment the man attempted to swing him Hideo dropped the katana and struck with his now free palm, and there was a quickness with which it was done that betrayed just how quick he was with his hands. His open palm thrust directly into two adjacent tenketsu in Karuto's muscular arm, hoping the strike would land and allow his body to drop to use the momentum of the toss tohis advantage without it throwing him off balance. And although the open palmed strike physically would be nothing to the taijutsu user as well as most who fell victim to it, the effects were near instant.
During this exchange Hideo was not oblivious to Masato moving in on the pair to seize the opportunity to strike. His eyes had granted him a near 360 degree view of the field itself, although in the last moment of his attack Masato had managed to move directly into the one blind spot he had. At this point however, Hideo knew what was coming and had indeed hoped he could hit two birds with one stone so-to-speak. As Karuto's arm and hopefully entire body at this point would fall victim to paralysis, Hideo flipped the blade up and back into its sheath as his body continued at a much slower pace to move in the arc Karuto had began to move him in. Instead of attempting to stop the momentum however as he landed, he twisted his body with it and began to release chakra from first his right side propelling him into a spin as he then released chakra from all tenketsu at once.
He kept the chakra laden barrier close to his body at first, six inches around him before it rapidly expanded outwards to reach a full radius of nine feet. With Masato airborn and close as well as Karuto being close as well, Hideo aimed to give himself some space and likewise do some damage to them both. This came at a cost however for Hideo, breaking the ruse completely he had barely kept in tact until this moment. Using his right leg as an anchor in order to stop the momentum, Hideo spoke aloud to them both as he flipped forward and out of what was now a spherical crater in the ground a yard deep and three wide. "I never gave you my full name. I am Hideo Hyūga, of the Sand." His left foot slid forward as his right bent low with his body, left arm open in front palm upwards, his right behind him mirrored open and down slightly above his body as he remained coiled in preparation of what was to come.
He appeared to be looking at no one in particular, however in fact he was looking at quite possible everyone in the area, particularly his two sparring partners and the newly arrived Nariomi, the famous jounin Hideo had been apprehensive about approaching at the tournament observation center who seemed to nod towards Masato. "Is he Nariomi's studen?" the boy pondered. If that was the case Hideo might have bitten off more than he could chew, but it only excited him that much more. He'd received no training for anyone of that stature, only his father and his own down time. If he could go toe-to-toe with someone who had been taught by Nariomi Kaguya himself, well that was a feat in and of itself.

Active: Shōtei [ Palm Bottom ] Rank: D Official Description: This attack consists of a quick, precise thrust of the users' palm to an opponent's body. Like other Gentle Fist techniques, it sends chakra into the target to cause internal damage which will temporarily paralyze an opponent. Guild Description: See official description.
Hakkeshō Kaiten [ Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin ] Rank C A secret taijutsu that is orally handed down only within the main house of the Hyūga, this technique utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from all the chakra points on the user's body. It is also a defensive maneuver to compensate for the Byakugan's blind spot as the released chakra blocks any possible attack on the user. After releasing chakra from every tenketsu in their body, the user then spins rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a rotating shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any nearby attackers. The user can also actively control the size and power of the sphere to suit the situation. This technique is only effective when rotating, since the chakra itself is not enough to stop a physical attack thus if they cannot spin, the user becomes vulnerable. It should be noted that certain attacks can pierce through this shield. ( If they are one [1] or more ranks above the chakra used to generate the spin. If you cannot learn a certain rank of technique, you cannot create shields equal to that amount. ( A D rank genin cannot learn A ranked bloodline jutsu, so he cannot create A rank shields. However a C rank gennin can learn A rank bloodline jutsu and therefore can perform A rank sheilds.) • Rank C Range: 3 Yards • Rank B Range: 7 Yards • Rank A Range: 10 Yards • Rank S Range: 15 Yards
His attack missing by a hair against Karuto, he would pass by unharmed. Still. His eyes were tracking every motion Karuto had made. His large body would hold no secrets from him. He would land just after missing the mark, pivoting sharply and just in time to witness Hideo's attack. His rotation attack was blatantly obvious to Masato as the flux of chakra began to flare in the boy. As the rotation begun, Masato drew his fist back, deciding it was better to land a powerful blow that he had been saving for some time. Katon natures Chakra flowed in his body to a single fist, as his fist traveled forward it would meet the full force of the spin. His fist created an explosion at the end of his fist that would be powerful enough to interrupt the rotations current. Several explosions exploded from the previous one that traveled forward to the center of the rotation , carrying the power of several explosive tags. The blasts main power would dissipate with the rotation carrying a fraction of its power that would at least blow Hideo back from his crater he had created.
Dust would cloud the area around the detonation. Masato's crimson eyes shot off to the side from the explosion to take note Nariomi Sensei. He must have just arrived. Masato was almost surprised that he was there. He couldn't have been present long, Masato's new ocular powers seemed to be catching everything as of late. Masato's eyes flickered back sharply to Karuto, then holding his hand up to motion a pause. He spoke to Hideo who would be in the plume of smoke from the Fire Mountain Orcid technique he had created himself and just unleashed. " Hideo, neat tricks, but I have to wrap it up for now... we'll have to pick it up some other time " He said plainly as his eyes shifted back to their natural black hue. He adjusted his clothing and tightened his belt as he approached Nariomi. " Hadn't expected to see you here, Nariomi-Sensei."

Taylor arrived on Horus' back. The two were brought here by the Thunderbird's insistence. For what purpose, Taylor did not know. He was surprised at the bird's actions until he saw Nariomi and Masato. Oh. So that's why he was here. The business he had at the Kazekage's residence got disrupted when Zhi came in asking for help. Now that the missions seemed contained to their group, however, it seemed as though Horus didn't forget about Taylor's struggle. The bird landed to the group's four o'clock. At first, Taylor didn't want to get off the bird. He was able to escape it all again, if only for a moment. Did he really have to return to it? He was ready to leave, but Horus nudged him. The action caused Taylor to smile as he dropped off the side of the Thunderbird. With a deep breath, he approached the two.
"Good afternoon Mister Nariomi, Masato." He said with a head bow to them both. Masato originally was not one of his favorite people, but his recent actions have caused him to see the tall male in a new light. The other two people he did not know, and one of them looked big enough to eat him. Taylor did not want to mess with that guy. Since he did not know either of their names, he also gave them a slight bow of the head. Hopefully the others weren't staying so that Taylor could discuss what he had to with Nariomi.

As the spar came to an end and both Masato and Taylor approached him with a greeting he gave a polite dip of his head to the two of them,"Well, training never stops not even for someone as old as me. Granted I have built up no small amount of rust these days." Taking a moment he tapped his chin. With a bit of a smile he began,"I know I already promised to teach you guys, but I would like to officially take you both as my apprentices. You'll learn ninjutsu theory, swordsmanship, martial arts, control and clarity. I would also like to teach you the ways of Ninshu and maybe when your older and more mature, the ways of the old sage, the sage of six paths. Who knows, you two may even become sages of a path yourself like me." Letting out a heavy sigh he continued,"It will not be easy, and there will be days you will want to quit. Your going to get hurt, cut, bleed and be pushed to your limits. This is not an easy path but the clarity and wisdom you will find at the end, are profound."

The user's reflexes are mildly increased. > Trick Style: Knife Toss: The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. Confers a slight reflex bonus to the practitioner. > Offensive Style: Artless Draw: The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash. Slightly increases the speed of strikes made when drawing a small weapon. > Trick Style: Retreating Feet: The practitioner, already acquainted with many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. The practitioner's footsteps are rendered silent to all who do not have enhanced hearing, and the footsteps they leave in soft ground are shallow. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. > Trick Style: Blade’s Edge: The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip. Confers a slight increase to the user's reflexes. > Offensive Style: Stepless: The practitioner has become so used to performing quick and silent steps that they scarcely realize that they themselves are moving. The user's speed and reflexes are mildly boosted. > Offensive Style: Mistborn Stepping: Silent, swift, and sharp. The practitioner is able to creep about at a decent pace while making close to zero noise. While moving through an area where cover or some obscuring factor is present (buildings, people, fog, etc.), the practitioner gains a moderate bonus to speed and reflex. > Skill: Multitasking: While the first two stages of the style revolve around the very basics of how to use a bow, the third stage incorporates the use multiple arrows into a more stylish way of battling. Mastery allows the user to simultaneously fire multiple arrows with any technique that does not specifically state otherwise, and allows the Arrow Creation technique to create up to three arrows at once with no increase in cost. > Skill: Manipulation: Manipulating the bow itself is simple, but controlling the arrows is very difficult. Many enhancements can be made to arrows to give them different flight paths, but buying those kinds of arrows is expensive and making them is difficult, so a method was developed wherein the user can freely alter how an arrow flies without need for such trifles. During this training, the user practices firing arrows with abnormal hand positions. Reduces the Stamina cost of bow-related Bukijutsu techniques (including Formless Styles) by 10 Stamina, to a minimum of 5 Stamina. > Skill: Adaptability: For the most part, the style thus far has focused on techniques to be used while stationary. However, this leads to many problems when fighting alone in situations that demand frequent movement. During this training exercise, the practitioner is to practice all known techniques while running, jumping, and maneuvering across a battlefield. After mastery, the user can align shots even while running and jumping.

His eyes glanced upward as Taylor made an appearance on the back of Horus. ' Blondie showed up too.... interesting. ' He looked over to the genin as he bowed to Nariomi as well. Masato's instincts warned him that there was something different about today. He wasn't accustomed to Nariomi simply approaching them first. It was generally the opposite. Then, he spoke.
Nariomi-Sensei's words caused Masato to light up. A confident and exuberant grin crept across his face as the excitement of a new chapter in his training approached. He surely must have acknowledged him for such an offer. Masato felt as though his strife in the last few weeks had been fruitful now. Masato's fists clenched tightly at both sides as he bowed again. A custom he had never done until Sonyo. He would most likely over use this to correct his rude behavior at times but it was with the best of intentions.
Masato's desire to become the strongest was almost an innate calling for him. The village, the people and his teachers had finally given him the recognition he wasn't aware he sought. This recognition would give birth to loyalty, which would bind the youth to this place as his home. A home he would use all the strength he had and would acquire under the tutilage of Nariomi. Perhaps when he found his way to the sand village after escaping that unknown hell it was a blessing of fate that had fallen upon him.
Rising, Masato glanced over to Taylor who he was sure was equally ecstatic as he. He wouldn't say a word to him, but he sensed the eagerness. " I will do my best." In his excitement he paused. Nariomi Sensei had specifically mentioned training and that he had become rusty. His eyes refocused, curious if they were about to be tested...
Taylor was stunned silence. This is what he wanted. To be trained under a true hero and become a proper shinobi of Suna. Was this really alright? Was he, who clearly held secrets to his soul, allowed to have this? Was he truly allowed to be happy? Instinctively he took a step back, but Horus' feather body stood behind him. The boy looked up as the bird looked down, and the eyes of the creature told him everything he needed. This wasn't a moment to run, this was a moment to celebrate. This was a moment to make amends, to challenge the path to carve a clear path of the future. This was Taylor's chance to truly be a shinobi. With a deep breath Taylor lowered his head once more. "Thank you Mister Nariomi. I will not disappoint, on my name." He said, his hand reaching for the weapon holstered on his belt. Within moments the weapon was in his hand as applied chakra to the weapon.
The chakra applied started to decrease the length of the chain. The weapon's length was naturally thirty feet. Taylor for a while felt like it was too much. Because of this, the chain decreased until there was only six inches left. Taylor then pulled on the weighted end as he gathered an extra two feet. This was enough for him. With the sickle in his right hand, and his left hand gripped around the chain attached close to the end of the weighted end, Taylor bent his knees and readied himself. There was no way this was going to be an easy training match. The ninja has always shown himself to be beyond competent at manipulating the earth around them during the demon match. Was he a ninjutsu master? If so, then Taylor felt slightly more competent. Horus flew off as the two synced their auras. This would mean more later, but for now meant that they established the promise that neither of them were running. Horus got up to thirty feet in the air, circling around the three humans below. He was not missing a chance to fight someone as powerful as Nariomi.

As the two consented he could not help but feel a little bit apprehensive. The last time he had taken personal students they ended up dead within two months. Would these two be the next set of corpses for him to bury? Letting out a little bit of a sigh he raised a brow at Taylors antics. He could not help but chuckle a little bit,"I know I said you were gonna bleed, but I did not mean right now. Last time I sparred in here was against Theo and we ended up blowing up the building, and the three floors under it. Ayame was so pissed off at us." Chuckling a bit he blinked lightly. As he did so his normal yellow eyes were replaced with a bright and brilliant emerald,"That being said if you want to go down this road I am cool with it." Taking a deep breath he spoke up loud enough that everyone in the area would be able to hear,"Either evacuate the building or prepare to protect yourself. Its party time boys and girls." Facing the other two he smiled taking more then a few steps back away from the two boys. Drawing his long, slender, and elegant katana he took a one handed low ready stance with a smile,"Masato? You joining this party?" Everyone in the village knew what the words "party time" and "nari" meant. s**t was about to explode.

> Iron resiliency: The user has gone through tough enough training, being roughed up and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user's fortitude is mildly increased. > Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The user's striking strength is mildly increased. > Swift Foot: A well trained individual is usually faster than an untrained individual, and the practitioners of the Iron Fist understand this fact more than anyone. However, those of the Iron fist not only accomplish this boost of speed….they also do it in armor! The user is now unaffected by the additional weight of armor (to a logical limit), and when the user is out of armor, their body and technique speed is greatly increased at the loss of the protection. They are much more adept at bursting into action, going from standing to 100% in single moments. Conversely, the user can now perform these techniques without needing armor. Must relearn every technique at half the learning cost to perform techniques without armor to learn the different distances and timing of the techniques. Overrides restriction. > True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. Increases Stamina by +25 for every style mastered. > Satori [ Enlightenment ]: Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. The user's strength and fortitude is increased heavily. > Offensive Style: Knife Stances: The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Speed of all Bukijutsu employing small arms is mildly increased. > Offensive Style: Simple Play: With this training, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch. The user's reflexes are mildly increased. > Trick Style: Knife Toss: The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease.

Taylor's reaction was more zealous than Masato's surprisingly. He prepared himself for combat immediately. It seemed that Nariomi's rusty comment was directed at the sooner than later. As Nari spoke, Masato saw something intriguing. His eyes shifted from their normal amber hue to green. Masato's own eyes widened, excited by the transformation. Were his eyes undergoing a similar transformation to Masato's own. Maybe it was part of this sage nonsense he spoke about. Either way, Masato was invited to a party he would've crashed anyway.
Masato's eyes seemed to change into their crimson hue almost immediately after his eyes met Nariomi's. At the same time, his right fist clapped against an open left palm. " Yeah, Lets party" he exclaimed. With that indication he would allow the first gate, the gate of opening to release itself. A burst of power surged through him as the natural strength of Masato was brought to its natural potential limits. His hair and robe seemed to whip about as though a breeze had burst from beneath him.
His demeanor had completely changed from the sparring session with Karuto and Hideo. He could not afford to play lightly once the fists began to fly. While he wasn't starting out at full throttle, Masato knew he still could not hold back one bit during this exercise. He would have to exert 210% of himself to hold his own. No. Not his own. Taylor was made a mandatory team mate by Nariomi. " Blondie...Let's win!!! Masato roared as his adrenaline coursed through him. Hopefully Taylor would be on the same page. They would have to be. This was the first team exercise he had ever willingly entered. The stage was set.
