Kein stopped laughing suddenly as his body was racked with pain. He looked to bast and said ," Anything you want me to do." Every cell in his body was wracked with pain but he owed Bast. She had given him the knowledge needed to complete this jutsu. He could take the pain if it meant solving that debt. Even if he did not owe her he would still continue to hold it. Simply so that she would know the extent of what the Cloud village was capable of militaristic wise. His arms and legs began to shake from the pain.

Bast was still writing fervently, also noting the detrimental effects of the technique. She was rather entertained by the thought of having Susano'o do jumping jacks, but figured that the architecture in the area might want to live to see another day.

"Can you make it spread its arms as far as it can for me?" she asked, her pen still moving. "Determining your range of movement with that technique is key. If it operates like a human, then you won't have any problems using it as you want, in theory."

Kein nodded with a grunt and spread his arms as wide as he could and the creature responded moving in perfect time with Kein. No matter where he moved the creature kept up perfectly as if the creature shared a conscious with him. Another wave of pain washed over him and his concentration shattered. The creatures armor went first followed by its muscle and tissue then finally bone disintegrated. The storm of chakra died down as well leaving Kein's body wracked with pain and starved of chakra. He could not remember the last time he felt like this. But his torment came to an end as he suddenly blacked out and fell to his knees then his chest.
 

[Ergo War]

Bast scribbled down notes rapidly, and observed Kein's Chakra with Kagura Shingan. After taking notes on that, she moved on to the disintegration process. She figured it wouldn't be as useful as the other information that she had gathered, but it was still interesting anyhow. She destroyed her barriers with a couple of Tebanasu Fuuin and rushed over to the Uchiha's unconscious body. She stowed her notebook in her coat and picked Kein up under one arm. She then rushed across the rooftops toward the hospital.

Doki entered the dojo, set down her gym bag and set up her planned routines for the day. Her head twisted around to look at various equipment and noted how it seemed less active than usual. Her fledgling hands readied the targets before swiping out her combat knife from it's cap. Two whorls of ambient moss stared back from her slim mirror before it was flipped into a semi-circle, safely landing back into the palm of her hand. Despite her anxiousness, the girl smiled for her reflection. Not looking so shabby after suffering a week of the flu.. "Heetchoo!! Shuck...ugh... " Doki now found reason to frown on her reflection as it was slightly opaque.

Trick Style: Knife Toss

[1/2] Minus Dojo Reduction + Character traits
Some time after cleaning her blade, she began to practice throwing the knife in careful arcs. The first few swings were deadly and if not really reckless. The fray split inbetween her bangs was proof of her cutthroat encounter. But not as much as the lesser margin of the sharpness scratching her palms. "Hm.." Her dizzy eyes bounced in shadowing her weapon's acrobatic ability. Not before long Doki's wrists had already gotten used to the flipping movements.
[2/2]
Just to make sure, she made an effort to alternate the blade inbetween her hands. Her lesser dominant hand was surprisingly more adept than that of her other hand. This pace isn't quick enough in battle. I'll get used to it. The way her wrists would flick and her fingers snap brought out the help of her impulsive quality in succession of catching them. Now she tested to see if they would react to the quality of being thrown. First, she struck a target with her pending left. Doki walked up and leaned over the fallen target, observing the hit. "Not where I hoped it would hit.."
[3/3]
At the rate she was going, this was going to bite her style. She tried again, and again, until finally she noticed her habitual quirk of leering her shoulder to her inner center. The girl blinked in surprise and thought; 'Oh! Eureka! I've got it!' Her blade stopped twiddling in her hands and was brought up to her face. She flipped it, casting spiralling motions following the blade until the handle was caught. It would seem safer to catch the handle than to gamble on what part it'll land on when it comes. Doki thought about this for a while, then angled her shoulders and wrist accordignly to her mind's design. Doki scrambled on forward to the dummy and examined the mark. She beared her white blocks into a satisfied smile. "Oho-hoho joy, mum'll be so proud..~" It was funny to say since she wasn't exactly on the best terms with her dear mumsy. After about a crap's worth of practicing, she decided to head for the Kage's office. Perhaps she could find out more about some available missions.

"I can take you!"

Fuyu entered the dojo as she smiled to Kyo,"You are getting pretty big ya know. I have been looking for an Anbu apprentice and an Inuzuka is the perfect partner in combat. Your abilities could make you a really strong anbu if you dont fool around, it wont be easy, you know me Kyo-san. But, it will be worth it." Fuyu unwrapped her bandages, she had been wearing them for a while, that kid had wrecked her good back then. "That said I have a right to test my opponent first, I remember our first spar I won. I dont expect that to have changed yet, but I dont expect you to go down easily this time Kyo, youve gotten so strong. If you do go down easy I guess I am wrong making you my apprentice." Fuyu sent a clone away before she turned back to Kyo,"Let me know when you are ready?"

Nora stook her time heading to a nice spot where she not to close to other but not to far. She lifted her hand up touching a tree and turned sit with her hands placed together. She was building chakra up for the use of her bloodlines jutsu which was the basic out all of them. After a few minutes of molding the chakra around by the secont. Finishing each step the chakra around her became ten pink petals scattering with the wind. [1/2]

The girl was abit happy but she could tell their was very little of them in the air. Trying once more she made a handseal and molding chakra around until it flashed. In a secont alittle over fifty petals floated around the girl dancing as they floated towards the ground.

" My eye sight rest upon my flowers."
 

[Haruhi000777]

~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Jounin ~ Bukijutsu ~

Chakra Pool: 265 ~ AC: 7650 ~ Ryo: 800

Now that she had finally made it to jounin, Suzume felt a bit of inspiration to say the least. It was why she had returned to the dojo to train more. Where she was before was acceptable as a chuunin but as a jounin she needed to be really impressive. The first step to accomplishing that would be to master Shigure Soen. Only four more techniques and she would do it. Although she had stopped off along the way, got a new haircut, changed her clothing... it just felt right for a change.

Walking into the dojo, he picked up a practice sword and the scrolls she would need for training. There was also a ninjutsu she wished to learn and she had more taijutsu to learn to. She also needed to make a decision on the next bukijutsu she would begin to learn. For now though she would just focus on Shigure Soen.

First thing was first, learning the technique in one try, the attack technique of stage five required that she would need help. So she called upon a random shinobi to help her out. The whole idea of this technique was not to directly attack the opponent. She would have to slash around them while making them thing she was directly attacking them, this would cause them to move, thinking they were avoiding the slash when really they were heading right for it.

She explained how this was supposed to work and the other shinobi understood so they got into position to begin. Rushing forward, Suzume closed the distance between them and appeared to be slashing right toward the shinobi. Yet it did not hit the opponent, instead her practice sword slashed around the shinobi. The shinobi fell for the ploy and moved, only to run straight into her blade and got lightly struck by the bokken. Since she had successfully done it once, Suzume requested the shinobi stick around to help her practice it some more.

[Post 1/3]

This seemed to be easier for her to learn. Then again she was a jounin so some things were bound to be easier now. She continued her training, slashing around the shinobi, fooling the shinobi into running right into her attacks. It really did seem like child's play in fooling this shinobi, perhaps this person was of a lower rank? Either way the person was helpful and Suzume was glad to be learning this technique so quickly.

[Post 2/3]

Now she had it down, the slashes were accurate and she was effectively faking out her opponent pretty much every time. The other shinobi was not having as much fun being faked out but at least he was being a good sport. When she landed another successful attack on the male, she stopped and concluded that her training with this technique was done. As far as she knew, no other Shigure Soen attacks required that she needed help from another person. Although she would ask if the desired effect had been brought about so that they had been done right.

[post 3/3 Shinotsuku Ame Training Complete]

This next technique was the defensive half of stage five and from the sound of it's description, it would be quite useful. Instead of just using clones, she would make a wave of chakra element, suiton preferably. It would act as a mirror and capture her image, with more than one it would seem as if there were multiple copies of herself. It was a way to distract a person using just her bukijutsu and without making hand signs. She did not doubt that it would confuse an opponent.

She asked someone to watch her technique to see if she could do it right. Well, she had to do it right on the first try anyway since that was the requirement of the style. In her head, Suzume ran over how it would go
a couple of more times. She had to get this absolutely right and she was sure that she would. It just did not hurt to go over it a couple times more so that nothing would go wrong. When she was finally ready to begin, Suzume coated her bokken with suiton chakra and was ready to attempt the technique.

Her bokken was currently pointing down in a diagonal angle but then she quickly raised it up. As it swung up, a wave of chakra created a screen and her form was copied on the screen of chakra. Walking away from it, the shinobi watching her confirmed that there was still an image there. Good, now she would just have to try this multiple times and get better at this. Not to mention doing it multiple times would mean that she could create more and more images.

[Post 1/3]

With the first screen still up, Suzume began practicing the technique and making more mirrors. It was a slow process at first, the red head still needed to get a little more used to the technique and practice moving just right. So far so good though since Suzume was making another screen and then another after that. Now there were three of her, the mirrors reflecting her image and they were good enough that people would not guess they were just reflections at first glance. So far her training was going well and she was confident that soon she would master Shigure Soen.

[Post 2/3]

After the first three chakra screens had faded away, Suzume began practicing some more. She created three chakra screens once again and each one reflected her image. Since she had created three in succession and without problem, Suzume had to conclude that she correctly learned this technique. Which meant that was another stage down and there was one last stage to go. After the chakra screens faded once more, Suzume went back to the scroll to see what she would need to do to learn the last stage of Shigure Soen.

"There are no limits. Only plateaus, and one must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”

 

[Haruhi000777]

~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Jounin ~ Bukijutsu ~

Chakra Pool: 265 ~ AC: 7650 ~ Ryo: 800

Honestly she did feel a little excited. Suzume was only two techniques away from mastering a sword style. She had gone over the instructions in the scroll and she knew what she had to do. Now it was just a matter of performing the technique correctly the first time. The red head stretched her arms and yawned softly. Although she continued to go through the movements in her head. At this point she was a master and using elemental chakra with her sword was so easy. Still, she had to stay on her toes and not mess up on the first try. If she was going to be a true practitioner then she had to stay true to tradition.

Getting her bokken ready, she asked another Cloud shinobi to watch her to see if she did this right. Basically in this technique, she would use her sword and elemental chakra to create a wave that would head directly towards the opponent. It would act as a mirror, projecting her image so that it appeared she was still where she stood while the wave came at the person. Yet while they dodged or blocked, she would not be in the place she used to be. Instead she would come from above and strike with a powerful, downward slash. This would be a powerful attack added to her arsenal certainly.

Focusing her suiton chakra, Suzume covered her bokken with it and prepared for the technique. Taking her stance, she faced the dummy from a comfortable distance. Then she brought her practice sword up, performing a slash and sending the wave that would rise up in front of the dummy. Then afterwards she would jump up into the air as high as she could, heading right for the dummy and bringing her bokken down on it's head. The hit had been good, but what about the wave? Looking to the shinobi watching her, she confirmed that she had seen an image of Suzume projected by the wave. Happy to hear the results, she thanked the shinobi for her help and let her get back to training.

[Post 1/4]

Now she would have to repeat her actions to really get a feel for the technique. Considering her rank it would not take too long for her and then she'd be ready to move on to some more training. Once again she set up the dummy and infused more of her elemental chakra into her bokken. Again she set up the wave in front of the dummy to project her image and struck it once more with a downward slash. The second try went good but that did not mean she had it down. She would try again a couple times more to really get it right.

[Post 2/4]

The fourth time she had been a bit off with her jump. As far as the wave went, it had been fine and still showed her image. At least the jump was not too off but practice would still be needed. For that bit of a mess up, Suzume would keep training, repeating the actions a couple more times. Which was not a big deal to her of course, she needed this. As a jounin there was more expectations to go with the title. So extra training would be what was needed to make sure she did her techniques just right.

[post 3/4]

After a couple of more tries, Suzume figured that she had the technique down perfectly. The last time she had tried, the red head had made a very good wave that reflected her image. The image itself looked quite real and were bound to fool some people initially. Then she jumped up at just the right height she was able to jump in the dojo before bringing her bokken down on the dummy's head. With that last practice of the technique, Suzume felt she had properly learned the technique and was ready to move on.

[Post 4/4 Utsushi Ame Training Complete]

Now it was time for the defensive half of the sixth stage of Shigure Soen. The only way this moment might of been better and more memorable was if she had an actual teacher. A sort of wise old man that was congratulating her and seemed so proud. Actually... she did wish that her father would have been her teacher. Of course this was not possible and that thought made her feel a little sad. No time to think about that, her father would probably say something about her getting on with it or something.

This next technique she would not need anyone watching her to tell her if she did it right. It would be a good defensive maneuver that would protect her on all sides. This would have to be done outside so that she did not leave marks in the wood floor. In the outside training area, Suzume found a spot to herself to practice this technique. Instead of the bokken, she brought out her father's sword since it would pierce the ground better than a blunt bokken.

Taking her sword and coating it in wind elemental chakra, she stabbed the ground, five times in a semi circle in front of her. Just as the scroll said, four lines of chakra came out from the ground, taller than herself. Then more lined were formed around her and finally the chakra lines formed into a dome. They covered her on all sides and she let them disperse after a couple of seconds.

[Post 1/4]

Now not only would she practice the maneuver, she would also make it last as long as it said it could in the scroll. This would probably not be too hard for her though. Granted that it would only be easier if she was a sannin but that was not going to happen just yet. It would probably be a long while before she became a sannin. Once more she stabbed the earth and once more the dome formed around her. This time it lasted up to a full minute before it dispersed.

[Post 2/4]

The third try had gone about the same as the second try. The same since she was unable to extend how long it lasted. This technique required as much concentration as the attack to be learned with it. Figuring that all she needed was more concentration, Suzume concentrated the chakra she was blending to her blade. Then she stabbed the ground once more to form the dome around her. This time though it lasted longer, not to the full two minutes but to one minute and thirty seconds. It was a good step forward to say the least.

[Post 3/4]

Now she was sure it would just take one last try before she really had the technique down. She knew just the right amount of concentration and chakra to use to make this technique work. Blending her chakra with her blade, Suzume once more formed a dome of chakra around her body. Only this time is lasted up to two minutes. When it finally dispersed, Suzume was satisfied that her training with Shigure Soen was complete. Now it was time for some different training.

~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Jounin ~ Bukijutsu ~

Chakra Pool: 295 ~ AC: 7650 ~ Ryo: 800

The next step in her training would be to master the fifth stage of Shunkan no Hagane. If possible she might also be able to master the sixth stage. Even as a jounin these stages would be time consuming but well worth it. From what she had read in the scrolls, the sixth stage would boost her abilities. To have those abilities, she would be faster, her senses sharper, and then she would be hard to beat by a number of people. Now it was time to learn Thread Walking Two from stage five of Shunkan no Hagane.

[Post 1/5]

Although it was a nice day outside, Suzume knew she had to go inside for this technique. The threads would be set up inside and they would be necessary for her practice. Right now she knew how to walk on the threads but if she really needed to get moving then she needed to run. This would be fairly easy to master, or it might possibly take awhile before she got it. This apparently was not as easy as Shigure Soen but the red head was determined to learn.

[Post 2/5]

Seeing where the threads were set up, Suzume moved up to the threads and stood on top of them easily. Walking and standing on them was no problem. Now the trick was keeping her balance while running along the threads. Which really was not easy since the first time she tried running, Suzume made it a couple of steps before losing balance and nearly falling off. At least it was not like Shigure Soen where she had to get it right on the first try. Here she had room for a little bit of error.

[post 3/5]

The next couple of tries were not much more successful than the first time. She needed to get the hang of the balance when running along the threads. The threads became really iffy if jolted about too much and Suzume was finding it challenging to keep balance. The red head's arms flailed now and then, trying to keep her balance and not fall as she ran along the threads. At least the more she tried, the better she was getting, it would not be long now before she could run along the threads.

[Post 4/5]

Now she had her balance down. Suzume could run along the threads with relative ease at this point. The red head knew that this technique would be valuable in a way. If she could run along wires then imagine what else she could use this excellent balance for? Ledges and such, Suzume could go places where others may not be able to follow. Having run back and forth a few times without losing her balance or falling off, Suzume was satisfied she had learned the technique and jumped down from the threads.

[Post 5/5 Thread Walking Two Training Complete]

The next technique would require that she need help from another person. This next move was called the Crescent Block and it would be an excellent way to disarm an opponent. The way it would work was that Suzume would turn, catching whatever was coming at her and carrying it in a circle. It would not only redirect the attack but it would disarm the person. Since the force and motion of the block would undoubtedly make the attacker loosen their grip on the weapon. It would also cut against anything softer than a metal blade.

[Post 1/5]

Finding a shinobi inside the dojo that would help her, Suzume switched back to using a bokken for training. The other person would also grab a bokken so that they could commence training. It would not be an easy block but the red head was relaxed since she did not have to get it right on the first try. Her first time attempt at the technique was not bad. Although the real trick was trying to carry the other's weapon on a circular path. It wasn't really a simple block to pull off one at a time, it would need more practice.

[Post 2/5]

They would clash again and again, the first couple of tries were much like before. Suzume would be able to block the attacks but she could not quite carry it in a circular path. She was starting to get the idea though and was beginning to change how to strike with her sword. It was just a matter of angling it just right and the right way to carry it. Other than minor changes in how the bokken came in contact with the other's bokken though, Suzume pretty much had the idea down on how to do the technique.

[Post 3/5]

Now she was getting it, the next time she tried the Crescent Block, Suzume was actually able to carry the bokken in a circular path. It was not as good as it could have been but it was certainly a good start. Happy at her progress, Suzume continued to train with the other shinobi. The other shinobi was being a good sport too and seemed to be learning a bit as well. Although Suzume would try not to keep the other long since she was sure the other had plenty of training to do himself.

[Post 4/5]

Finally she had the technique down and was able to block the bokken in the way the move was intended. Of course the technique would be much more impressive if they were using real swords of course. Yet it would be a little too dangerous to use real swords so bokken were the next best thing. She wanted to say that she could dismiss the shinobi helping her but Suzume would still need someone to attack her. That way she could practice the next technique or two and finish the fifth stage of Shunkan no Hagane.

[Post 5/5 Crescent Block Training Complete]

The next technique was called Defense of Steel and it would be a little dangerous to practice. It would require that she use a real blade since the point of the technique was to cut through another opponent's blade. It would be a hard maneuver to use but Suzume was sure she would get it down as soon as she could. As a jounin that would happen fairly quickly so there was no need to worry about time.

[Post 1/5]

Despite the need for real swords to make this work, the other shinobi was willing to go along with this. Glad that the other would still help her out, Suzume went over to the storage where they kept the practice supplies. Suzume had to dig around a little bit to try and find some practice swords made of real metal. She had to shift some things around here and there but she finally found some good practice swords. She handed one over to the shinobi before she took her place in their own spot of the dojo.

[Post 2/5]

The first attempt at defense of steel was not quite so successful. She hit the blade but it was not quite cut in half by shearing. Although she did leave a pretty good nick in the blade. If she could do this right then she could cut through the blade without her own even touching it. It would probably be a good psyche out to anyone who tried harming her. They would also be disarmed and not able to properly defend themselves with a damaged weapon.

[Post 3/5]

While Suzume was practicing defense of steel, she was also giving thought as to what would be the next bukijutsu style she would learn. This would be the last style she would ever learn since three would certainly be more than enough. There were sword styles for stealth and there were those that used multiple swords. While they were appealing in their own way, Suzume felt she was too head on for stealth. As for multiple blades it seemed a bit much. No, a single sword was the way to go and she would beat any opponent that came at her.

[Post 4/5]

Now she had the technique down and she was going to show the person training with her. As the other shinobi came in for a strike, Suzume moved her blade as well. With shearing activated, her own blade did not touch her opponent's blade. Yet with shearing being used, she did cut the blade all the way through this time. The blade was cut and the top half that had been cut off clattered uselessly to the ground. Seeing that Suzume had learned the technique, the other shinobi could guess that she was no longer needed now. Thanking her for her help, Suzume let the other get back to her training while she cleaned up the mess left behind.

[Post 5/5 Defense of Steel Training Complete]

The next technique she would learn she would not need help on. All she would have to do was practice on a dummy until she could draw her sword. Not only was this sword draw going to be fast but it was also going to be strong enough to cut through armor. Now that she had picked up the metal practice swords, she put them away in the storage room before going back onto the main floor. She easily picked out a training dummy and got ready to begin her training.

[Post 1/5]

This would not quite be so easy since Suzume was not really used to just drawing her sword to attack. Granted she did draw quickly so she could go into an attack. Maybe this might not be so different but Suzume could not be too confident. The first try had not quite gone so well. She tried to draw but it was only a very shallow cut. The idea was that she needed to make her movements a bit more smoother. To draw her sword from the blade as she usually would. Only instead of getting ready for an attack she would immediately go for a horizontal slash.

[Post 2/5]

The red head continued her movements, able to draw and cut at a medium sort of speed. Yet it still was not fast enough and there was not near enough power for a real cut. That would certainly not do and Suzume had to try harder than ever to get this technique down right. So far there was progress, little by little she was getting better with each try. Suzume was totally focused on the task of learning this technique. She still had it in mind to be the finest swordsman in Kumo after all.

[Post 3/5]

Now she was getting it down better. Suzume could tell she was starting to move faster, little by little. She could also see that her cuts were getting deeper. It was only going to be a matter of time now before she had this technique down and closed out the fifth stage of Shunkan no Hagane. Her mind was also starting to think back on her last bukijutsu style. Tetsu certainly would be a good style. Yet what if she needed something else? Something that was not so straight forward so she could have a more varied arsenal?

[Post 4/5]

Now she had the technique down. Suzume could see just how powerful this technique really was. Her blade moved so quickly yet fluidly, one quick motion as a deep cut appeared in the training dummy she was using. With one final tray, she cut very deeply into the dummy, enough so that it would have been a kill on any living opponent. Suzume smiled, quite satisfied with her work and sheathed her father's sword once more. That was it for stage five. Yet why move on? There was still stage six and then that would be a second bukijutsu style she would master in pretty much the same day.

Now it was time for the sixth and final stage of Shunkan no Hagane. After this she would move on to taijutsu training so that she had more defense against those who came in close. Taijutsu would take longer to learn but that was probably why she was getting bukijutsu out of the way first. As for the third bukijutsu style she would learn, Suzume was thinking she would decide on the matter later.

[Post 1/6]

The first technique that she would learn was called Final Words. She would hone her senses all the more, making them sharper. So sharp that she would be able to accurately tell how far away an opponent was, where they were and the speed of incoming objects. Having such sharp senses would undoubtedly be useful. She would not need someone to help her, instead she would use the people around her to help hone her skills.

[Post 2/6]

Finding an area away from where the other shinobi were training, Suzume took a seat and closed her eyes. This would take plenty of concentration, so Cloud stayed quiet while she focused on the people around her. Really Cloud was a good dog but sometimes he could be a little too talkative. Not that there was anything wrong with that of course but it was just nice to have a bit of silence. She needed to take in all of her surroundings to see where the people were.

So far there was not much luck. Suzume was hearing what they were doing and what general direction they were in. That was just from Sensory Information though. While it had sharpened her senses it was not good enough. She would be going on dangerous missions and she needed to know where things would be exactly. Slightly frustrated but not at all deterred, Suzume continued to try and pick up on the disturbances in the environment to see where people were exactly.

[Post 4/6]

Things were starting to get a little better now. Suzume was starting to have a better idea as to where things were now. The people that were closer to her she was able to figure out where exactly they were better than those that were farther away. It was not good but it was not bad, it was a good start and soon she would be able to tell where the rest of them where. Suzume stayed where she was, still staying seated with her eyes closed as she tried to pick up where they all were.

[Post 5/6]

Now she could hear them clearly and judge their distances. She could hear all of the people all around in the dojo, she could even hear if there was any people outside right now. At this point her senses were quite sharp and Suzume did not think they could get any sharper. Smiling, Suzume opened her eyes and stood up. That was one technique down, now she would move on to the next one. These were all skills that would augment her own abilities, which would make her an even stronger jounin than she was right now.

[Post 6/6 Final Words Training Complete]

The next technique would become a passive technique. It would also become a powerful technique that would reinforce all of her sword based attacks. Her blade would act twice as sharp as it really was and it would cut through armor without the need of any other special techniques. It was just proof that the last stage of Shunkan no Hagane had some very powerful techniques. Now the trick to getting her blade to act twice as sharp as it really was might be a little tricky.

[Post 1/6]

Taking a seat on the bench, Suzume took out her father's sword and looked at it. Perhaps it was a sort of thing that required focus, some sort of thing she just had to will her sword to do. The scroll was not quite so clear on how to learn this technique. Sure she just had to practice attacking but getting her blade to seem twice as sharp would be a bit hard. No, it just had to be some sort of mind thing. Some way to will her blade to act twice as sharp as it really was. Deciding she just had to practice for now and figure it out as she went.

[Post 2/6]

She went back to the training dummy she had been using earlier and began practicing. The cuts were simple and she could land some deep cuts. Yet if her blade became twice as sharp as it really was, then Suzume would cut even deeper and it would be like cutting through butter. So far nothing like that was happening but Suzume was not going to just give up. She had to learn Vorpal Blade and then three other techniques before she was a master of the Shunkan no Hagane style. So she kept at it, slicing the training dummy up further.

[Post 3/6]

Still nothing so far, it did not seem as if there was any change in the feel of her blade. It was nothing to get discouraged about though and Suzume kept right at it. She had to think though that if this was taking awhile then how long would it take for her to learn taijutsu? She was not so much worried about ninjutsu since she still could only learn so much right now. Although it was not as if she was going to try and learn all of the black legs style in one go. She would probably only learn one stage, maybe two if it was possible.

[Post 4/6]

Now she was starting to feel a bit of a change in her sword. It might not of been noticeable to others but she could feel it. It was as if there were less resistance when cutting through the dummy. Like she was not cutting through wood but something a bit softer, like bamboo or something. She had been focusing on her blade and as if she was willing it to get sharper. Maybe that was the trick after all, not just putting plenty of force behind the attack. Glad with the results, Suzume continued attacking the dummy, feeling that it was easier to cut though as she kept going.

[Post 5/6]

Finally her blade was ready, it would be twice as sharp as it used to be. This passive technique was going to make her blade all the more powerful now. Setting up for one final attack, Suzume chose a spot on the dummy that had not been cut. With one swing of her weapon she cut deeply into the dummy, so deeply and easily that she cut it in half. Although one would not know it at first until the top half just slid off and clattered to the ground. Smiling at the results, Suzume sheathed her sword and prepared for the next technique.

[Post 6/6 Vorpal Blade Training Complete]

Before she would start practicing the next technique, Suzume had to clear the area first. After all, this practice dummy was pretty much useless now that she had cut it in half. First she took away the top half that had fallen to the ground and dragged it off to stay near the storage room. Then she dragged off the lower half and placed it right next to the top half. She would need the area clear so that she did not trip over anything since the next technique was called Movement of Steel.

[Post 1/6]

Movement of steel was a technique that was supposed to be even faster than the body flicker technique. Yet it was not as easy to control. She would not stop at the exact spot she wanted but if she could only be a little off then that would be fine. As for how she would get this to work, Suzume could only assume she would have to rely on her own speed. It would not be too hard since she was already fairly fast. Now it shouldn't be too hard to get a little faster right?

[Post 2/6]

Actually it seemed that getting to that point of being fast enough would be a little hard. Suzume had to move fast enough that no one would catch it and only see her after image at first. She would ask someone to watch her and see how fast she was really moving. They agreed since all they would have to do was watch her. So far he was not seeing any sort of after image just yet. Trying to move faster was a little bit frustrating but Suzume still kept at it.

[Post 3/6]

After some practice, the person watching her said that she seemed to be getting a little bit faster. Suzume was glad for some progress so she kept at it. Sure she was moving faster but what she really needed was to move fast enough to produce an after image. There was still no sign of that so far from what the male could see. Suzume would continue moving, trying to get faster and faster. She would need this speed to not only escape danger but also to fool enemies.

[Post 4/6]

There was improvement from what she was feeling and from what the male was telling her. She was certainly moving faster, it was hard for the person to keep up with her movements. Yet still no sign of an after image at first and Suzume kept at it. After a couple more tries, the male said he saw something after she moved. It was brief and faint but it was the start of an after image. She was almost there, she could tell, soon she would master the movement of steel technique.

[Post 5/6]

Finally she had it down. Her last movement, she had moved so quickly to the side it seemed as if she just appeared in that spot. Granted the spot was not where exactly she wanted to stop but that was to be expected. Then the male confirmed that an after image had been left in the spot where she had been standing. That meant her training had been a success and that was good news to hear. Suzume thanked the male for his help and he went back to his training. Just two more techniques and she would be a master of Shunkan no Hagane.

[Post 6/6 Movement of Steel Training Complete]

The next technique to learn was called offense of steel. It would create a wave hat would go on for a distance. It would cut anything in it's path in the same way that her actual blade would. That meant she would cut through most anything. She might even be able to cut through chakra attacks if there was enough force behind her attack. It was a nice thought although it was bound to be a little hard to cut through ninjutsu coming her way. In the meantime, she had training to do.

[Post 1/7]

Deciding to move back outside to train, Suzume walked out of the dojo and found a training dummy. She would stand the proper distance away from the dummy so she could try to strike it from afar. If she did this right then there would be a wave of energy that was sent towards the target. It should slice right through the dummy and even cut it in half. The first strike was not so much successful though. Suzume could see that the cut maybe extended a foot from her own blade without shearing but that would not cut it, no pun intended.

[Post 2/7]

Suzume would continued her practice, performing a vertical slice towards the dummy some distance away from her. The distance at which the wave went did not increase much but the red head was determined to learn this technique. She would continue trying, continue using her speed and strength to send a wave of energy at the dummy. Any improvement seemed to be minimal but improvement of any kind was certainly worth the effort.

[Post 3/7]

Now the wave of energy seemed to be traveling further, past two feet and growing. Repeated tries in her training seemed to be yielding good results so she kept at it. The end was within sight, she was closing in on finishing these techniques. Her progress was already going so well and Suzume was not going to give up now. Although she still worried a bit about learning taijutsu since it seemed that would take awhile. Yet the taijutsu she learned now was not sufficient enough, she needed to learn more so she could be ready for anything.

[Post 4/7]

Almost there, she could see that the wave of energy was gaining distance and almost reaching the dummy. Suzume was excited that she was almost done and almost had this powerful technique down. She was going to be quite the swordsman and no one in Kumo was going to be able to dispute that. She was even feeling confident enough right now that she could take on any other swordsman from any other village. That might of been a little over confident for her but she was feeling quite good right about now.

[Post 5/7]

She had to say that this was a harder technique to get down. It required actual chakra to perform and it could easily wear a person out. Strange to think that while all of the other technique had been simple that this one and the next one would be complex. It seemed to make sense though and Suzume was not going to let this stop her. If she let every technique that was a little tough stop her then she would not be good enough to advance up the ranks since she would be weak.

[Post 6/7]

Now she was there, now she had the technique down. Suzume could feel it, this next trick and she would have the technique down. Getting ready, the red head swing her sword and a wave of energy was sent out. It moved along the ground and hit the dummy. The dummy was split in half when the wave hit it and it fell to the ground. Glad at the results, Suzume walked over to drag the dummy off to the side. One more technique to go and she would have all of the Shunkan no Hagane techniques down, this was getting more and more exciting.

[Post 7/7 Offense of Steel Training Complete]

Now she was finally at the last technique. It was a complex technique that would take a little longer to master but it would be well worth it. This technique would double her speed with a blade and her reaction time would be much quicker. Call her confident, but she was sure that with this new speed she had, she might even be able to keep up with a konin at this rate. Maybe that was saying a bit too much but Suzume's mood was up and she was ready to take on this new technique.

[Post 1/7]

Since it was so complex, Suzume was going to have to go into a new sort of state. It was said to be a physical state where she would become faster than ever. The only way to attain this was certainly through focus and she would practice other techniques to see just how fast they were. So far the speed was much the same and nothing much changed. The only thing that Suzume cold think to do was increase her focus to reach this new physical state. If she could not attain this state then she would be at the same speed that she was right now.

[Post 2/7]

Still no sign of change it seemed but Suzume was not going to be discouraged. The red head was starting to feel a bit tired but she did not want to give up. Training could be taxing on a person but Suzume felt she still had plenty of energy to keep going. If she just kept going then she would master this style. It was not as if Suzume was obsessed, she was just driven to say the least. She was so close to mastering this style and she was not going to let it slip away when she was trying to get this new technique down.

[Post 3/7]

There seemed to be a little bit of improvement, Suzume felt she was getting more faster. Maybe she was getting closer to attaining the state she wanted to reach. If she could not get to taijutsu today then that would probably not be something she would worry about. As far as she knew, she had all of the time in the world. She was a powerful swordsman and so far there was nothing that could strike her down right now. Again maybe she was being over confident but it was just how she felt at the moment.

[Post 4/7]

There seemed to be more progress to Suzume, reflexes were becoming faster as were her attacks. More progress drove her to keep trying, to keep focusing on attaining that state. She felt tired but she was almost at the end, at the end she would master Shunkan no Hagane and take a break. It really was taxing but a little bit of a break and she would be just fine. Suzume continued to attack the training dummy she had chosen, one that was not beaten or cut up too badly. Still trying to attain that state that would increase her speed.

[Post 5/7]

Almost there, she could feel it, Suzume could tell that she was getting faster and faster. Her blade was moving faster, reflexes were improving. She had a feeling that she was reaching a state that was different from how she had normally felt. It must of been the state that she was trying to attain, what else could it be? Well it could be that she was a bit hungry but Suzume would have to deal with that later. For now she was almost to the finish line. She only had a little bit to go before she finally learned this technique.

[Post 6/7]

She finally had it. This was the last technique and she finally had it down. There was a new state that she had reached and now her movements were so much faster. Suzume was cutting up the dummy and within mere seconds there were cuts all over it. Tired, yet satisfied, Suzume stopped her attack and sheathed her weapon. She was a bit breathless but happy to have gotten this final technique down. As a reward, she went to the nearest bench that was propped next to the outer wall of the dojo and took a seat, having a much needed break.

Occ:

Nora stood up brushing herself off of any dirt she felt on her. She was ready for the next jutus of her clan. Her excite ment was blazing for this one since it was the first hana jutsu other than making the flowers or petal's now she could control them to protect herself. She knew this all due to her loving mother and listend very carefullyabout the technique. Fouceing her chakra around her she tryed moving the petals in front to make a shield. Placing one hand forward she felt the petals were not in front but below her still.[1/3]

Rolling up her sleeves this time she was going to try and get it for sure she hoped. Gathering chakra into her petal she lifted ten to fifteen up making a small shield. She didnt need to check this time her sense's told her so. It was good but not finshed to protecting her." I need to try one more time its almost a full shield." She said very proudly.[2/3]





Nora held the tiny shield togther and pushed off more chakra than before making all her petals float around her. If anyone was watching her it would seem like they a tornado swirling around in front of her. She held out her plam straight. When she did that her shield became larger covering her side it was like a wall now. " Yes two down two left to learn before my work is done for the day." With her second jutsu done she was going to keeping until she had four and would challenge a certon someone again soon.

It had been nice to take a break from training. Cloud had come over to join her and of course say what a great swordsman she was. Sure his opinion was a little biased since he was her most loyal companion. Yet it was still nice to hear and his praise earned him the reward of having the place behind his ears scratched. She was starting to feel less tired now that she actually took a break. The idea of attempting some taijutsu next was crossing her mind when she heard someone call her name.

The voice was familiar but she could not quite place it right off the bat. She looked in the direction the voice came from and saw that it was Apollo Hyuuga. He still looked the same from the last time she had seen him. Cloud had been purchased after her last meetings with Apollo and did not know him. Yet he did not seem like a bad guy so he kept watching the male curiously. Waving back, Suzume stood up and walked over to Apollo as he spoke. The offer of a battle was certainly intriguing and she was curious to see just how skilled a swordsman Apollo was.

"It's nice to see you too Apollo. And I'd be happy to have a sparring match with you. Just bukijutsu or do we just use everything we know?" A straight up bukijutsu match with swords would be interesting but they would both have more options if the used other jutsu as well.
