[This will never be the last.] [But it will only be the once.]
Samuru passed into the dojo just after Kaileer had left, his mind set on what he had to now. He had traded in the hospital clothes for clean clothes that fit, something with better mobility. He didn't care to take notice of Wanryoku, despite the man's great size, and so he didn't. Walking to the dojo head, he paused "I need....a stave. Over 5ft would be preferred." he requested, waiting as the head left then returned with the awkward weapon. It was a bit longer than 5ft and was rounded at the tips, curved like an egg, made of a thick, woven bamboo. Testing it, Samuru thanked the head and walked out of the dojo, taking to the outside training area. Spinning the weapon, he took a deep breath to push his mind into the right frame Nothing but the weapon. Nothing but the goal.

[This will never be the last.] [But it will only be the once.]
Samuru rested the point of the stave in the ground, leaning on it to rub his thigh. Beneath his thick body suit, the bandages still wrapped his thighs, keeping the almost healed wounds tight and secure. Didn't stop them from hurting though ...focus... he straightened and took a deep breath, deciding to take a break for a moment. It was the first activity he'd done since coming to Kumo, not counting the demon and the attackers, and it appeared he'd need to work his stamina up again. Taking a seat in the grass, he extended the stave so that it rested on his shoulder and Samuru leaned his head into it, breathing.

_S t a g e ○ O n e [1] Fighting Stance Rank: E :: Simple [1post] Learned Description: The user slides one foot forward and holds the staff firmly so that the front edge is even with his or her shoulders and the back is at roughly waist height. This is the basic stance of the style and offers a very slight power boost to techniques executed from this position. Samuru gripped the stave in his hands, spaced evenly down the sides of the wood. He could feel the bend and give of the wood as he gripped it tightly, his hands twisting around it as he slid his left foot forward. He led with his right in attacks so it made sense to attack with it that way. He felt a bit of strength in the way he held it, could tell this was likely the easiest way to fight with it.
Basic Block Rank: E :: Simple [1post] Learned Description: The user performs a firm, two-handed block that can stop most physical attacks of those untrained in Taijutsu or Bukijutsu. This block requires that the staff is held horizontally or vertically, and as such is not very effective against diagonal strikes. Stepping forward again, moving instantly from the stance to this simple attack, Samuru brought the stave up in a block, the force bending the ends slightly. He moved back then struck forward again, adjusting his grip as he went so that he held it with his hands close together. He spun it as he stepped back again, spinning it between his two hands and then pushed forward again, his face tight. It took a lot more strength then it appeared to.
Slapstick Rank: E :: Simple [1post] Learned Description: The user hits an opponent with the side of the staff. This causes minor bruising and may cause the opponent to flinch, but has little purpose in battle until the user has significantly more experience in the style. Whipping the stave forward, Samuru cracked the training dummy in the side, sending it wobbling on its stick as he stepped back, holding the stave up vertically. Standing still, he waited for the dummy to still then he struck again, lashing out with the stave, cracking it upside the head. Then he stopped and examined the way it had struck, wondering if he could work it with enough strength to break something or cause serious damage.

[This will never be the last.] [But it will only be the once.]
Standing, Samuru felt weight in his legs and sighed, shifting the stave to his other hand. Perhaps it had been too early to attempt this? Well, the second stage could wait a few more days I'll return this. Then go find something else to do. he reentered the dojo and handed in the practice stave, leaving.

Haituro entered the area and walked straight toward the dojo. He had no intention of messing around or spending any wasted time, he would be here for quite a while mastering the final two stages of Kaiser fist. Once he was done with that he'd head back to Myurai and see about getting a custom weapon crafted to support the Bukijutsu style he intended to learn as well. As Haituro walked into the dojo he unfurled the Kaiser fist monstrosity of a scroll and inspected it. Four techniques in this stage all A rank, he'd start with the training Haituro walked toward the center of the dojo and threw a vicious punch leaving his free hand up in a curve protecting his mid-section and a portion of his face. [ Bulky Punch 1/8 ] Haituro smiled and started to dance on his toes and shot a quick jab raising his hand to block his face then shot another quick jab and blocked his mid-section with his forarm attempting to leave no openings when he punched. It was actually quite a bit more difficult than he had predicted. He spun a backhand out and something clicked in his mind. Haituro smiled and walked over to a training dummy. [ Bulky Punch 2/8] Haituro activated the dummy spinning the arms of the dummy so that they would attack as well as defend Haituro stood taking a deep breath. He stepped forward into the rapidly spinning arms. He shot his right arm up parallel to his torso to block the first arm that came spinning at him then moved his left arm down to block the second aimed for his hip holding them where they were he moved his head forward headbutting the post. [ Bulky Punch 3/8 ] Haituro reeled back from the post and prepared to attempt again. Headbutts were nice but he wanted to be able to land a punch while blocking. Haituro stepped forward into the attacking posts and raised his left arm to block the first attack then brought his knee up in the air blocking his midsection with his knee. Haituro smiled and ripped off a vicious punch with his right hand that rocked the dummy. [ Bulky Punch 4/8 ] Feeling that it had been somewhat mastered Haituro took a step back rubbing his hand as he examined the movements of the training dummy, they were sporadic and jerky throwing random hooks toward the person that would stand in front of it. Coming up with a plan Haituro stepped back up to it blocking the first few posts that swung around with ease with a sense of offensive power to his defense. This was good he was getting it. [ Bulky Punch 5/8 ] Haituro stepped back once more rubbing at his sore arms, he was over doing it but he needed to master this style he was tired of being useless in up close and hand to hand combat. Haituro stepped forward one last time blocking the posts with enough force to not just block the attack but actually make the wooden posts that served as arms/feet for the dummy splinter. [ Bulky Punch 6/8 ] The rapidity of the blocks increased as he turned the speed of the dummy up making loud cracks as his arms flew around with force not only blocking but turning the block into an attack of its own pushing chakra through his arms creating a trail that would continue moving after his arm stopped hitting the target. [ Bulky Punch 7/8 ] Finally Haituro stepped back from the dummy deactivating the thing. He let out a soft sigh as he rubbed absently at his sore arms. "Getting there." He said as he walked slowly back toward the monstrosity of a scroll that was rolled out and nearing its end and Haituro was glad for that. [ Bulky Punch 8/8 ] Five more techniques, Haituro let out a sigh of relief this nightmare of a training session would come to an end, five more techniques that was all. Haituro smiled and looked out the window to the sun light that cascaded through the window. Haituro turned his attention back to the scroll. "Seems like I spend all of my time here..." He shook his head and read about the bolstering armor a master of the style had perfected. [ Bolstering Armor 1/8] The armor was said to create moderate gains to the users physical attributes, speed, power, defense. "Hn?" Haituro continued reading the technique and its uses in combat. It was apparently used to turn the tides of a battle although it couldn't be maintained very long compared to the two previous armors this one was a tide turning technique and second only to the final armor which he would learn about later. [ Bolstering Armor 2/8 ] The armor also gave the user which would be Haituro of course yet another layer to his aura, soft crackling sparks. Sparks? He didn't have Raiton jutsu at his disposal? Oh well, its what the ability said and he would attempt the technique in just a few moments to test it out he had learned almost everything he could about the technique from the text. [ Bolstering Armor 3/8 ] Haituro read the final few paragraphs of the scroll looking around as he finished. "I guess I need to practice this in here. I hope it wont damage the dojo." He shrugged and walked to the center of the room putting his hands at his hips Imagining the self serving pricks who had left him alone at the temple to die increasing the rage he felt toward this village and the way he had been treated since the attack had happened. He would've done anything for this village now, now, he would do anything to get out of this hell hole. [ Bolstering Armor 4/8 ] Although Haituro had no desire to do so at this exact moment he would take advantage of every scroll this place had, learn as much as he could before he left, he was young but no fool to say the least. Most people here probably believed him to be quite the fool but it was an act he had no desire to appease these people. His rage building the white glow appearing around his body. [ Bolstering Armor 5/8 ] Haituro focused centering myself. Bringing calmness a silent rage over his body. No screaming just silent intensity. Eyes closed hands at his hips chakra coming off him in violent pulses of pure energy. His body began to crackle he felt a slight tingle over over his body he felt atleast 40 pounds lighter than he had been although his size didn't change. He dashed forward to the dummy he had been sparring with and pulled his right hand around in a backhand knocking the dummy in two. [ Bolstering armor 6/8 ] The power he felt wasn't an extreme in change but the speed was noticibly different. Normally Haituro wasn't the fastest of Shinobi but with this armor on he could match even the fastest of them. Haituro smiled and wished Kazurai were here to see this he was getting stronger and stronger by the moment. Of course he didn't feel any fatigue from the practicing or movements of the style spinning his foot high in the air he brought it down on the ground splintering a few of the floor boards he wouldn't use all his might on this because he needed to keep the dojo in one piece if he wished to learn more.[ Bolstering Armor 7/8 ] Finally the young Hari clan member walked back toward the scroll. "Strength, all that matters is strength." Haituro smiled to himself as he walked allowing the armor to swirl away as if a vanishing entity that had surrounded his body. The young man had nearly mastered the Kaiser Fist style and doubted that anyone would be able to match its pure power even that block head Wanryoku. [ Bolstering Armor 8/8 ] Liger bomb, Liger? Were those a real thing? Haituro shrugged and guessed that even though dragons weren't real there were jutsu named after them. He read the scroll and smiled. Even the scroll believed that the user at this point would be able to easily overpower any opponent that they faced. [ Liger Bomb 1/7 ] Reading about the technique it was suggested that the user who was now as physically capable in strength and speed could surprise an opponent by coming up to them capturing them and leaping with them before the opponent could even realize what was happening. Haituro shrugged and believed it was possible but he would need a distraction for such a thing unless he learned another style that would increase his speed further. [ Liger Bomb 2/7 ] Haituro chuckled as he read more about the technique he would then reposition himself so that the person ensnared would impact the ground before he would. They also believed this technique was considered to be a death sentence because anyone trapped in it would simply break their neck, and a shinobi with a broken neck if surviving through it would no longer be able to fight and thus be killed by the user. [ Liger Bomb 3/7 ] Haituro walked to the center of a room picking up a punching bag as he walked hoisting it over his sore shoulder. It appeared he wasn't 100% healed after all. Haituro gritted his teeth and bore this fresh pain with determination. " Got to finish this now, or I may never." The young man palced the punching bag down in the center of the room and turned away and walked to the side of the room. [ Liger Bomb 4/7 ] Haituro dashed to the center of the room after getting to the side. He wrapped his arms around the bag and crouched before quickly leaping into the air quite a way into the air he repositioned the bag into a pile driver type of position having his arms and legs wrapped around the bag after flipping it over so the "Head" side was down. [ Liger Bomb 5/7 ] As the bag and Haituro himself plummeted toward the earth Haituro closed his eyes grabbing the bag tighter so it didn't slip through his arms after impact leaving him to crash spine first into the ground, that would not feel good, no not at all. The bag slammed into the ground jerking in Haituro's arms. Haituro's arms and legs screamed i protest but the bag didn't budge. Haituro was left hovering inches above the floor of the dojo as the sand shot out of the bottom, which was now the top, of the bag. [ Liger Bomb 6/7 ] "Well that was easier than it looked." Haituro stood shakily making his way back toward the scroll. Liger bomb had been practiced, perfected and learned in a rather quick order. Haituro was happy for that he was getting tired of this training and wished to go back to learning Elemental jutsu and getting those done, he had so much training to do in so little time it was frustrating. [ Liger Bomb 7/7] The last technique of this stage. Haituro let out a sigh of relief he was almost done, just this and the last style which was only two techniques and he was done. DONE. Finally. Haituro read the scroll about this technique apparently the old man or woman who had discovered or mastered this techqniue decided that this final technique would require the use of an armor technique as well to perform. Which was fine with Haituro he had three at his disposal. [ Kaiser Fist 1/8 ] Haituro re-read the first section of the jutsu and realized it was a technique that required an armor that give a boost to the users strenght and Haituro let out a groan. he had only two of those at the moment which was ok, he supposed learning it wouldn't exhaust his Armor technique too much and wouldn't take too long to learn he gave himself a short window to learn it and master it but assumed he should go outside for this one. [ Kaiser Fist 2/8 ] Haituro shook his head. Although this technique was powerful it seemed from reading ahead there was a more powerful technique from this style. Haituro couldn't wait to learn that one but it seemed he had to learn this one before he could attempt that technique. It also seemed that this technique would drain the duration of his armor no matter how much time was left. Haituro sighed. [ Kaiser Fist 3/8 ] This was the point where Haituro figured he should walk outside he jotted down the remainder of the technique on a sheet of paper leaving nothing out he would have to perfect it in one attempt he didn't wish to cause any more destruction than he would absolutely need to. He walked around the side of the building to a point in the yard where he and Kazurai had sparreed previously. This seemed to be a safe enough place to practice the technique. [ Kaiser Fist 4/8 ] Spending a few moments refreshing one the exact form he would need to use to master this technique he decided to practice his prior styles. He shot out a rapid punch a sudden straight. This seemed to be most ideal for this particular technique and thus would use it when the time was right for the actual technique to go off. [ Kaiser Fist 5/8 ] Haituro focused himself. Centered himself. Allowed the invigorating armor, though less powerful than his new armor style was perfect for what he intended to do. He wanted to master the technique with as little damage as possible. The familiar soft white glow appeared around him making him feel more dense stronger offensive and defensively as though he could take a punch from a taijutsu user and just shrug it off powerful. [ Kaiser Fist 6/8 ] Now was the part, the new part. He channeled chakra into his arm that he intended to punch with. The arm filled with chakra felt dense, stronger, faster. Haituro smiled and kept channeling the chakra into his arm, realizing this punch although taking a while to channel would be a powerful attack in his arsenal. He would need the perfect opportunity to unleash it though and getting the opportunity in actual battle would be difficult he'd have to create his opening by conversing with his opponent so he could buy time to channel the chakra. [ Kaiser Fist 7/8 ] Haituro dashed toward a large boulder laying in the yard. Snapping out a quick but powerful punch. At first the boulder just sat there as if nothing had happened then suddenly a small crack in the boulder formed. From the small crack came a loud creak and scrape as if it were exploding slowly from the inside out. When the entire thing burst into a explosion of rubble sending pebbles flying in every direction. Not large enough to inflict damage to any one standing near by but an impressive display of brute strength to anyone who had watched him punch the boulder. [ Kaiser Fist 8/8 ] Haituro walked back into the Dojo and Academy mash-up walking back to the table he had his scrolls laid out upon. Finally he could get to the final stage of this technique, learn it, and be done with this training. He would first take a few more minutes to phsyically train. He had brute strength but he wanted to bolster that a bit. He did his routine, curls, sit-ups, push-ups, pyramid style, and some weight training before returning to the training. he looked at the scroll and read the last armor technique for the style "Kaiser Armor" which was the ultimate armor technique. [ Kaiser Armor 1/9 ] Taking the time to read over the technique carefully it was no different than most of the other armor techniques taking both stamina and chakra to perform, it seemed Haituro would need to bolster his chakra and stamina some how. For now he would have to focus on the training, or perhaps spar someone to gain boosts but for now his pools would have to do. He walked toward the center of the room and dispelled the Armor technique he had active. Before forming a simle single hand seal. He felt his muscles ripple it wasn't anything visible but he could feel it. [ Kaiser Armor 2/9 ] As he stood there his muscles feeling as though they were pulsating he closed his eyes and focused, entering a sort of calm rage. His silent rage would be key for this his hatred, the hole in his heart needing to be filled by something, anything. He though of his squad mates and how they could fill that hole. Not the village but his squad? Yes. That would do. Haituro let a smile spread across his lips as the air around him seemed to swirl and he could hear loud crackles of disturbed chakra in the air. [ Kaiser Armor 3/9 ] The technique according to the scroll would create great boosts in all of his physical traits, Strength, speed, power, defense, all of it. It was said that the originator of the technique was only dodged once in the entirety of shinobi career and that was by a Hiraishin no Jutsu user. Haituro smiled, speed of that caliber and power to go along with it? This should be fun. Slowly Haituro opened his eyes. [ Kaiser Armor 4/9 ] As Haituro opened his eyes a violent shock wave of chakra whipped out around him and his once faint silver/white aura of chakra became a violent flame like aura with visible electric like bolts sparking out around his body. It was interesting seeing as he did not possess the ability to manipulate Raiton chakra. Was this some sort of raiton technique or was it due to the pure power this technique possesed. [ Kaiser Armor 5/9 ] There was one major thing that Haituro noticed as he held this armor active, it would not last very long. Being in this state was taxing, he could feel it. This would have to be the ultimate this ends now technique because of the drain. He had no way to feel it but knew his chakra and stamina had been depleted quite a bit whilst activating this technique. Although the technique did not allow him to feel fatigued. [Kaiser Armor 6/9] Haituro allowed the armor to Dissipate. He wanted to save the duration for later when he went to learn the very last technique in this form. He was nearly finished and extremely happy about that. Although this had consumed most of his time lately it was not what he cared most about, he wanted to return to his bloodline techniques and genjutsu. This was just for when s**t hit the fan and he had no other options. Much like against the UHV, where his genjutsu wouldn't work and all he had to rely on was his piss poor Ninjutsu and Bloodline abilities.[Kaiser Armor 7/9] Bored and tired Haituro sulked back to the table which contained the final technique for this Taijutsu style it required the use of an armor technique and Haituro figured he could use the technique he had almost mastered to finish this. This final technique was quite dangerous not for Haituro no but for the dojo as he read the beginnings of the technique one thing stuck out to him the strike would be able to destroy an entire mountain side. That would not only be dangerous for the dojo but for the villagers inside of Kumo he would have to find a suitable place to train this and figured that anywhere inside of kumo would not be suitable. Haituro let out a soft sigh and figured he'd have to leave the dojo to do this and somewhere in the outskirts of the village he would have to train it. He packed his things and walked out of the dojo. [ Kaiser Armor 8/9][Kaiser Cannon 1/9]
After returning from the mastery of Kaiser Fist Haituro wasn't sure what to learn next, he knew he needed to master some Buki styles but had no real weapon to train with besides his kunai. He heard there was a style that required kunai but that was going to be later, the one he really wished to learn was Shigure Souen. Haituro shook his head realizing he needed a sword for that and didn't have enough ryo. He'd need to go on a mission or two to get the ryo required. For now he'd learn some genjutsu and possibly some ninjutsu since he had many of those to learn he'd begin with a custom bloodline jutsu, that he had decided to try to perfect named Haihai shisou no Jutsu. [ Haihai Suisho no Jutsu [Creeping Crystals Technique] 1/6 ]
To begin the technique required that Haituro use his Garasu Chikei no jutsu which he did with ease snapping off the required hand seals coating the area in glass. That was the simple part to test the jutsu he'd need a test subject to try to trap. Snapping off more hand seals a clone of himself appeared standing next to Haituro. Without a word the clone took off to attempt to hide from Haituro which would be difficult now that the entire area was glass and there was nothing really to hide behind. [ Haihai Suisho no Jutsu [Creeping Crystals Technique] 2/6 ]
With the clone in position Haituro began to focus his chakra this was as wide spread a technique as his original Garasu Cheikei although it didn't produce any visible affect. Spending as much time as he possibly could Haituro focused his chakra allowing it to flow through his body into his arms to prepare the technique. To spread the chakra Haituro would simply have to make contact once his chakra flow was prepared. [ Haihai Suisho no Jutsu [Creeping Crystals Technique] 3/6 ]
Haituro snapped of the hand seal then slammed his hand onto the glass. The clone that was hiding didn't move and thus was not effected by the jutsu immediately. If the clone were to move though he'd have a tough time. Haituro shouted to the clone "Ok! Move!" The clone leapt out of the hiding spot and landed feet away from haituro then attempted to dash forward but found it impossible to move. [ Haihai Suisho no Jutsu [Creeping Crystals Technique] 4/6 ]
The clone looked down and smiled knowing exactly what had happened as soon as he saw his feet. They seemed to be encased in glass. The clone struggled to break free from the glass but was unsuccessful as the glass slowly crept up the clones legs to its knees. With the clone rooted Haituro stepped back away from it and watched the creeping crystals go to work on the clone, wondering how far exactly the glass would go. [ Haihai Suisho no Jutsu [Creeping Crystals Technique] 5/6 ]
As the glass finally made its way to the clones neck the crystals stopped. "It seems that's as far as it goes." Haituro said as he approached the clone. Haituro reached down with his hand and a glass sword appeared in his hand and with a swift motion in swung the sword through the neck of the clone dispersing it. "Well that's a pretty nice jutsu." Haituro smiled and allowed the glass terrain to return to its normal state as well. [ Haihai Suisho no Jutsu [Creeping Crystals Technique] 6/6 ]

-----Wanryoku was ready to train the instant he entered the Dojo. No one else mattered, and so his mind skipped over everyone in attendance. Moving for a cabinet with scrolls within, he grabbed the ones for the two styles he wished to learn. Kaileer would only sleep so long, after all. At the same time, he went looking for the largest spear he could find. Taking that, he opened the scroll for his oversized weapon style, and read. Seemed simple.
-----The first one was the easiest, and required that he throw his weapon. Zangai he had thrown all his life, but the spear was what he decided to learn this time. So, he lined up with a target, and let fly. [Learning → Kazetetsu [ Iron Wind ] [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----The weapon struck home, and do to it being a rather large weapon it counted. With a crash the spear went clean through the target, destroying it. With a smile he retrieved the weapon and moved on to the next technique. [Learning → Kazetetsu [ Iron Wind ] [2/2] :: Learned]
-----This one was quite odd. Considering his major weapon was Zangai, a blunt weapon, how was he to utilize this technique to cut anything? Sighing, he readied his spear, trying to concentrate on his chakra. [Learning → Danzetsu no Konki [ Break Off Of Energy ] [1/3] :: Incomplete]
----- Despite the steps given in the scroll for collecting chakra being so different than how his chakra worked, Wanroyku was doing it. Slowly a chakra-like material began to build up around the spear. He considered his next target carefully. [Learning → Danzetsu no Konki [ Break Off Of Energy ] [2/3] :: Incomplete]
-----Unfortunately there was no Ninjutsu to cleave through, so he had to allow for that. This meant that he had to take the success of this technique based on strength. So, he swung against a wall, and felt the stone crack instead of the spear. Smiling, he looked at the scroll, and realized the second technique was done, too. [Learning → Danzetsu no Konki [ Break Off Of Energy ] [3/3] :: Learned, Danzetsu Hei [ Break Off Wall ] Learned]
-----This one was different, a spear style, or rather a polearm. Sighing, he realized the first step was a stance. So, mimicing the post as best he could, he brought the blade point even with his shoulder and the butt near his right foot. Or rather, as close as they would come, considering this was not his size. [Learning → Fighting Stance [1/1] :: Learned]
-----A simple thrust, eh? Well, he would do his best! Taking one step forward, the giant thrust straight out with his blade, striking the air in a vital spot. [Learning → Thrust [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Yet he was not done! He spun, slashing at the air, reveling in the power. His weapon snapped to a halt over the location he had originally stood, his body returning to the original stance. [Learning → Slash [1/1] :: Learned]
-----A simple step didn't sound hard. However, stepping forward without breaking stance was a bit more difficult. And so he stepped forward, without breaking stance. [Learning → Forward Step [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The next one he spun around in an almost full rotation. Why? So that when he came around he would stab downwards at an angle, to surprise attack the ankles of his imaginary foe. [Learning → Downward Thrust [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The enemy's attack was coming for him, imaginary though it was. Snapping the butt upwards and to the right, he knocked the attack away. Doing that, he lunged forward with the point to rip into the enemy's armpit, killing him. [Learning → Parry [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Another fool got close, trying to get close to hit him. Not cool! He brought his weapon around and struck the side of the fool and knocked him to the ground. At this point, there was quite a bit of odd looks coming Wanryoku's way. [Learning → Not So Cool [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Another enemy was coming his way, but in slow-mo. So, he concentrated Chakra into the weapon, because the guy had a shield. Whipping out, he made the weapon bend, allowing it to thwack the guy on the back of the head. High-fives all around! [Learning → Chakra: Shape [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Here he almost giggled, as it allowed his staff to become limp. He did so, and watched the weapon's tip droop sadly. Man, its girlfriend must be disappointed... [Learning → Mimicry [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Turning around, Wanryoku swung with the spear. The wood wrapped around one of the dummies in the dojo! With a heave he tore the doll free and sent it spinning through the air. [Learning → Wrap [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Spinning once more, he turned to look at an offending dummy that was being used by a fellow trainee. However, the trainee fled as Wanryoku spun the spear and stabbed it right in the chest, and laughed as it caused the fabric to erupt outwards in a spray of stuffing and steel. Nothing too bad, though. [Learning → Splinter [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Pulling the staff out and making it limp, he stared at it in concentration. Trying not to laugh, he activated the technique with his chakra. The weapon snapped to attention. [Learning → Snap [1/1] :: Learned]
-----For the moment there was nobody around. Sighing dramatically, Wanryoku began to slowly weave the polearm around himself, forming what others call a "kata". In a matter of moments, he was calm again, and his mind focused. [Learning → Chakra: Form [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The next one was another stepping one. So, he took a step forward, putting more emphasis on the forward motion. And with that he stabbed forward, showing how aggressive he was. [Learning → Step of Attack [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Pulling his arm back added more damage? Interesting! Putting back his arm, Wanryoku lunged forward towards another dummy, spearing it. [Learning → Ram [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Dipping downwards, Wanroyku remembered the next technique. He brought up the weapon into the air, where he felt the face of his imaginary opponent would be. He imagined the opponent dying bloody. [Learning → Sky Lunge [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The next one took some lining up. However, the instant he could he lunged forward and swung up from below. It severed one of the stick arms right off of the dummy. [Learning → Dismember [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The next one would be amusing. Running forward, he lunged towards a steel slab designed for stronger attacks. It stood as something that absorbed all punishment of normal levels. But then, Wanryoku didn't do normal. So when he slammed his spear into it and surged his chakra along the weapon, it stood no chance. The entire structure erupted and exploded, sending shrapnel and nearby trainees raining down about the Dojo. Smiling, he turned to the next. [Learning → Avalanche [1/1] :: Learned]
-----This one was simple. Taking his chakra, he began molding it into the weapon. A moment later, it went entirely limp in his hands. [Learning → Dance [1/1] :: Learned]
-----Raising his spear above his head he began spinning the weapon as much as possible. It built up, and finally he slammed his weapon's butt to the ground. A wave of dust and debris blew outwards, scattering many dummies and trainees as he did so. Man, he'd need to change rooms soon! [Learning → Turbulence [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The next technique required him to stand still, and concentrate. He flowed his chakra into his spear and felt it flow evenly. He felt that now his complex techniques would be less taxing. [Learning → Chakra: Solidification [1/1] :: Learned]
-----The next attack was difficult. Focusing on the spear, he tried pouring chakra into it. It...didn't work, to say the least. [Learning → Jousting [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----The second time he flowed it in slowly, smoothly. This time the chakra flowed in well, and caught. A burst of fan-like chakra erupted and formed before him into a wall, to protect him. [Learning → Jousting [2/2] :: Learned]
-----The next one sounded awesome! Reaching into his reserves, he pulled on his chakra and steadied himself, readying for the pull. This one was going to hurt. [Learning → Twins [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----This time he held out his hands, releasing his spear he created two spears in his hands. These glowed blue, and were solid. Slowly they floated outwards, and hovered there. [Learning → Twins [2/2] :: Learned]
-----Picking up his spear, he began to concentrate again. This one was far more unique a technique than the others so far. Releasing his chakra into the weapon, he controlled its shape.[Learning → Blade Form [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----The head of the spear suddenly grew outwards. The head changed shape, becoming a massive axehead. Howling with laughter, he spun it around to try it out. [Learning → Blade Form [2/2] :: Learned]
-----Swinging the blade, he poured chakra into it. This would be difficult but would add another ranged attack into his arsenal. Taking a deep breath, he considered where to launch his attack. [Learning → Halt [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----Raising his spear he swung it in a circle. After a moment he snapped it forward and around, sending out a massive blast of chakra that cleaved two dummies in half. Cheering to himself, he turned to his favorite technique to learn. [Learning → Halt [2/2] :: Learned]
-----This one was fun, but took more time. Chakra poured into the blade, into the weapon itself. A moment later, he readied himself for the attack. [Learning → Vladimir [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----He held back this time, knowing that he could obliterate the entire Dojo with this one. So when he stabbed the wall, there was a moment of silence. And then one entire wall exploded outwards, sending dust and debris outwards in a massive display of strength. [Learning → Vladimir [2/2] :: Learned]
-----This technique...it took time. He reached into his reserves and focused everything he could. This...this would be interesting.[Learning → Chakra: Body [1/2] :: Incomplete]
-----HIs senses heightened, his body becoming quicker, reacting faster. What was it? His eyes sharpened, and when he looked around everyone moved a fraction of a second slower. [Learning → Chakra: Body [2/2] :: Learned]
-----This technique was...awesome. It was aptly called "holy nail", and it made him giddy with happiness. Reaching for one of the spears he had created, he readied himself. [Learning → Longinus [1/3] :: Incomplete]
-----The next step, he drew back his feet and his arm, taking a hurling stance. This wouldn't be easy at all, but he knew it would obliterate whatever he hit. So, he readied his chakra, and aimed for a large stone outcropping in the distance. [Learning → Longinus [2/3] :: Incomplete]
-----And then he threw it. The weapon flew with such speed it literally became unseeable. But the next moment the damage would be apparent. The outcropping exploded outwards and shook the entire area, rattling the boards and stones of the entire Dojo. He smiled. [Learning → Longinus [3/3] :: Learned]
-----Wanryoku was almost done. One more, and he'd be in possession of another style. Taking a deep breath, he remembered the last technique to learn: Strike of the Lance. [Learning → Strike of the Lance [1/3] :: Incomplete]
-----Taking a deep breath, he placed all of his chakra into his body, into his armor. The armor that was now made upon his body. Raising his spear, he concentrated all his chakra into the last chakra spear he possessed. [Learning → Strike of the Lance [2/3] :: Incomplete]
-----A moment later, he brought it down, releasing all of it at once. The explosion would have killed anyone near him, but at the last minute he stopped the chakra. No, knowing was enough, and one day he would try it out on his friends. Smiling, he wiped his brow, and sat upon the edge of the hole he had created in the building. [Learning → Strike of the Lance [3/3] :: Learned]

-----ι hadn't found Wanryoku at the gates, where he said he'd be, so I searched at the Dojo instead. After all, it's where I would have gone if I hadn't been sleeping. And I would have considered training myself waiting for Wan to finish if my head weren't still throbbing. But it was, and I honestly didn't feel up to it anyway. -----At some point, Wan disappeared from my sight while I let my thoughts wander, sitting on a boulder outside of the dojo, followed by a crash that sounded like more than a little bit of wood and stone alike shattering. Sighing, I stood up to go find the giant of a man. -----During my search, I heard several more explosions that helped me locate where exactly they came from in the many rooms of the dojo. They led me to Wan perched on the remains of a wall, sitting in a hole he had blown in it. Looking around at the various other things he had destroyed, I frowned slightly. "Impressive, but I don't think you're supposed to destroy the place. They did just finish rebuilding it." I shifted my bag on my shoulder and looked back at the man. "What happened to meeting me at the gates? I'm ready to leave."

-----Unfortunately, Wanryoku was slightly tired from his exertions, and wasn't really paying attention. Not to mention the fact that Kaileer was supposed to be sleeping. So when the giant heard Kaileer's voice he nearly climbed three feet in the air in surprise. Landing with a thud that shook the ground, he turned to look at Kaileer with an expression of incredulity. "You...you were supposed to be sleeping! When you sleep?" As far as he knew, they had only been apart at most of twenty minutes, so to see his friend now...Taking a deep breath, Wanryoku turned and placed a hand on his chest, trying to still his racing heart. "I hold back to not destroy more. Had I not we would have no dojo left. I merely break rocks to make more room for building!" OF course it was a lie, but did Kaileer know that? Not likely, he hoped. Sighing theatrically, he didn't really pay attention to what his jutsu was doing, so the spear that remained of the two he had created cartwheeled through the air, simply slowly turning end over end as it orbited his body.
-----Looking into the distance at the wreck he had made, the giant yawned. "I go when you ready, if now be the time. Any training left to do before we go?"

-----raising an eyebrow, I stepped closer to inspect the hole the giant had made, carefully watching the spear floating around him to ensure it didn't hit me. Had I seen something like that a year or two earlier, I probably would have questioned it, but I had seen stranger since receiving my headband. Such as a giant flaming cat. Or armor that could apparently magically deflect any attack. So a floating spear was nothing strange. "I slept all night." Ducking slightly as the spear whizzed over my head, I moved away again. "Actually, I'd thought I overslept, but then couldn't find you at the gates." So this was Wanryoku holding back, huh? I'd hate to have him as my enemy if he could blow through walls like they were nothing. After seeing that, I truly considered spending some time training before we left, but I didn't want to travel at night. If we left too late, it might have been night time by the time we got there. I wasn't sure; I'd never actually been to Takumi, so judging the distance was impossible. -----Besides, I didn't want to waste the little energy I had. Honestly, I think I felt worse than the night before, if not a little better rested. Joints ached from sleeping outside in the cold of night and from still-healing injuries from the attack. Not to mention the headache. It was dull enough that I could mostly ignore it, but combined with everything else made me feel miserable. So I shook my head in response to Wan. "I'm ready to leave." Gesturing for him to follow, I headed out of the dojo again.

XXXXX Haituro walked into the Academy, obviously he wanted to learn some jutsu but it appeared one of the teachers was ill and he'd have to stand in for the guy. Haituro shrugged his caring for the village was faultering and quickly but for now he'd attempt to help the village but he didn't know for how much longer. He stepped into the classroom and there were no students yet. Haituro saw this as fine as he prepared the lesson plan. [1/5]
XXXXX As he completed the lesson plan sitting at the desk in the front of the class room the first youngling walked into the room with bright eyes. "Where is sensei?!" he demanded. Haituro looked up from the paper he had been writing on. "He's ill, I'll be your substitue for the day." The young girl nodded and walked to her seat in the front of the classroom. [2/5]
XXXXX Shortly after the first student had entered the room the flood gates opened. Student after student piled into the classroom. Once they all arrived Haituro took attendance, and as per usual all the students were accounted for. So Haituro decided to start the lesson. "Today we'll be mastering a clone technique" Haituro performed the hand seals slowly to demonstrate them to the class, then discused the chakra control required to use the basic techinque. [3/5]
XXXXX Haituro watched the students attempt the hand seals on their own with mutters of confusion. Haituro would speak up after a few moments. "Who would like to try it first?" Haituro smiled he enjoyed watching the younglings even though it was Kumogakure children were all the same, innocent and naive. One student jumped up and walked forward to the front of the class and preformed the technique perfectly. "Seems like this class is more advanced than I suspected." [4/5]
XXXXX Haituro was about to say something as the bell rang and all hell broke loose as the students stampeded from the classroom. "Over already?? Hn." Haituro smirked and followed the last student as he left the room turning to lock the door behind him. "Well that was farily easy." Haituro followed the students down the hall and turned into the advanced shinobi training area wanting to learn some genjutsu and other useful justu before he left to turn in the mission completion request.
XXXXX Figuring he'd need to learn something to be able to communicate with others over long distances he'd attempt to learn a jutsu. It was supposedly a useful ability that eventually would allow him to lend chakra and even engage in combat down the road as he mastered it which was perfect. Haituro took the scroll and sprawled it out on the table, it didn't look very complicated so he knew he'd have it mastered in no time and move on to some genjutsu. Haituro knew he was a genjutsu-nin which was why it was embarassing that his only genjutsu were his bloodline genjutsu. [ Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] 1/3 ]
XXXXX Initially Haituro practiced the simple hand seals. He read about he usage of the ability and what exactly he could and could not do. It was very limited in combat ability but in a support role, if he were to get a larger chakra pool he'd be able to lend chakra to others. Now, that could come in handy if he were to teach it to others. Haituro stood and flashed the hand seals and closed his eyes waiting to see if the ability would work. [ Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] 2/3 ]
XXXXX Haituro would seem to be in a deep slumber. Sleeping on his feet as it were. When in all actuality he was off somewhere in the village speaking with various people. When Haituro opened his eyes he had gathered a little bit of useless information about the reconstruction projects around the village from one of the citizens of Kumogakure who had actually been startled by his Astral projection which apparently did no share the same voice as Haituro himself. [ Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] 3/3 ]
XXXXXHaituro decided to utilize the apparition to turn in the quest he had just finished flashing hand seals and holding the last one he closed his eyes, his mind warped and reality bent as he flew through the village at almost the speed of light or what seemed like it when the Raikage's office came into vision clear as day in his mind, and all the occupants as well, many had left, but there was still a few and from what he remembered Kazurai was waiting outside the office.
O.O.C:
Jutsu used: Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] :: Rank: C -20 chakra
. Because the mistake you made taking me as your opponent... Will leave you with no future.

Arriving at the academy grounds, Viole took a quick break, eating a snack or two. Afterwards he got to work.
Hiba Soujuu [Magnetic Manipulation] : The young Satetsu was at it again. Working hard, very much so, in the academy trying to refine and perfect his old techniques while at the same time maybe learn some new ones. Whether it was a trait shared by all who had his last name or if it was just him in general, exerting this much effort was quite notably one of the things the young man did best. This time, he was working on his bloodline abilities, the Jiton or Magnetic Release. While it did provide some level of difficulty, it was not at all impossible to learn. The black-haired youth stood before a large 50ft tall pile of iron sand. For a fresh graduate like him taking control of something of this size was an impossibility, but pushing limits was how he learns best. He put his arms out, hands open wide toward the pile and focused. He would draw from his reserves of chakra and let the energy flow into his arms, then his hands, then it would escape from his fingertips. As it did the energies would change, from a force of life to a magnetic one, that quickly made its way into the pile. Bit by bit, the iron sand would rise from the pile and levitate in the air, of course what the young man was controlling was only a very small piece fit for a genin. He practiced this control at the most basic level for a bit, making different shapes and forms in quick succession. Next he would control it to form offensive and defensive formations, black metal tendrils would impale through those training dummies unlucky enough to be close to him. Finally once the technique felt perfectly normal and easy for him to do, he'd finish off with trying to control the entire pile, maybe he'd get lucky? Though luck was far from the determining factor of such things like that. Even when the young Satetsu used nearly all his chakra to seize control over the great mass of iron sand it was just too far out of his reach. "Someday soon..." He vowed to himself, as he then moved on to simpler tasks still well within his rank.
Satetsu Soushi [ Iron Sand Creation ] : What was the point of being able to control iron sand if he himself couldn't have any at the ready? That was the idea behind the formation of the next technique. A way to have his kekkei genkai abilities always on the ready in any situation.
First off, he needed to get out of here. The technique converted earth and metal into iron sand, and the wooden floor of the academy wouldn't be effected by it in the least. So he hopped right out of there and onto the grounds outside the dojo in a few quick moments.
Next, he'd start building up chakra to actively use again. It wasn't much chakra, since he wasn't really going to be able to control any vast amount of iron sand even if he did convert such amounts. Viole did so as he was walking around the place, looking for a fat mound of earth to better spend his chakra on.
"This looks good! Right, let's see..." Viole formed a single handsign and let his built-up chakra flow out, through the ground to the hill in front of him. He closed his eyes and focused, he imagined the chakra crushing the earth into bits and pieces of dust, then turning those bits and pieces into something else entirely. As he did, the hill soon began to crumble.
Slowly but surely Viole was getting the hang of things. He was already through with the first part of the technique, deconstruction. Next was the transformation. He focused his chakra into the broken earth, trying to strengthen and reinforce it, to make it better.
He opened his eyes for a few short moments, then let them open wide in awe. "Hell yeah!" he shouted in joy at his small success. Bits and pieces of the ground were now turning into the black metal he so desperately needed.
Closing his eyes again, maintaining the handsign and the control over the chakra he poured into the ground, he focused even harder this time. Now the ground was turning into iron sand at a faster, much more reliable pace and a much greater portion of it was being effected. This was it, the point of mastery for a jutsu which he so greatly enjoyed every single time it came around.
Toroi's Magnetic Shuriken [Unnamed] : It would do him well to accomplish tasks as simple as learning techniques like this unnamed one here. It involved making a single handsign, then landing up a physical attack on a target, which would magnetize the target in it's entirety if it hit. After making the handsign and smacking a dummy on it's head, a large part of the pile of iron sand went flying toward the dummy.
Hagane Dama [Iron Bullet] : And after that, another simple task of a technique was next on the list. Viole put his hand out in front of him and made a gun with his fingers, as he did so a small amount of the magnetized iron sand focused together on the point right in front of his fingers. "Bang!" He said as the iron sand, now compacted into a ball shot off very quickly aimed toward a dummy's head.
A frown on his face when the ball slowed down mid flight and then fell to the ground long before it even hit. "Not enough juice huh?" Viole reached out with his right and levitated the ball closer to him. Then he put his left hand in front and formed the 'gun' once again.
Focusing his chakra into his arms, into his fingers, into the small iron ball, then..."Pew!" Viole said as he fired the ball once again. This time faster and stronger. He gave a little smile and a pat on the back, literally, with his iron sand once he saw the bullet go into and even through a training dummy.
Teikou no Michi [ Electrical Resistance Method ] : Now things we're becoming more complicated. Now he was taking on techniques which were possible tide-turners in a fight even if they seemed pathetic just cause of their low-rank. But rank didn't matter as much as strategy did, and with this next technique which had incredible use in a fight he could take his battle plans to the next level.
All that Viole needed to do, after building up chakra of course, was to put his hand forward and release the chakra. Then in an instant change it into magnetic force. Then use that magnetic force to clash against a metal or lightning-based attack as a means of defense. It was simple in theory and execution, but it provided him defense against a wide amount of different possible attacks.
He levitated a small mass of iron sand right above him, then let it free fall. Just before it hit him, he reached out his hand towards the object and did the technique with perfect execution. The mass of iron sand was repelled back then quickly put under Viole's control.
Hagane Bunshin no Jutsu [ Iron Clone Technique ] : Viole then levitated the mass down to the ground and started gathering extra iron sand to it, creating a small pile of iron sand around his size. He would try something else this time, a cloning jutsu perhaps? He took out a note from his pocket, scribbled onto it were a small string of handsigns with the words Ïron Clone on it.
He then started performing the handsigns as fast as he could while transferring chakra to the iron sand pile. Quickly the pile began moving around in the air to take shape. No longer just small knoll of sand, instead it began to look more human, more like Viole.
In a few short moments the clone was complete, an exact copy of Viole aesthetically. With mastery of this, he knew he was starting to get somewhere with his kekkei genkai. It was only a matter of time before he could start hoping to move up the ranks of the shinobi world.
Hagane Bunshin Soujuu [ Iron Clone Manipulation ] : Standing in front of the clone, he had it stay put as he continued to read the small note he pulled out earlier. The note also showed another technique apparently, only involving a single handsign this time. Viole being the ever-curious and studious one, would be sure to try it out.
He stood in front of the clone and after releasing the required amount of chakra, made the handsign to mold it then have it flow into the clone. It was a quite anti-climactic when he stood there for thirty seconds straight expecting something amazing to happen, only to instead stand there looking stupid. "That didn't do anything! Why did I even bother..." Viole put his head down in defeat, but not before doing a quick inspection of the clone.
"Not even a giant sword or somethi-!" suddenly the iron clone's left forearm turned into a blade, exactly like the one Viole had in mind. It then dawned on him for what exactly the jutsu was for. He then experimented for a bit to test the limits of the technique as much as possible before moving on to the next set of jutsu.
Satetsu Kesshuu [ Iron Sand Gathering Assault ] : Then after reading more scribbles and little symbols on the note, he went on to another jutsu. To do it, he needed a lot more iron sand than what he had now. He made a handsign and turned even more earth around him into the bits of black metal.
He then collected most of the sand he had made so far, as much as he could control, and quickly levitated it all in front of him. The strain of 'lifting' the gigantic amount was apparent, heavy breathing and some drops of sweat already forming on his forehead. It was such a pain and a bother to be so pathetically weak, but Viole could do nothing about that but practice.
Then he started letting his chakra flow, from a calm river then bit by bit, ever so slowly picking up the pace into a raging stream. It burst through his system in a powerful, controlled manner from his hands into the large pile of iron sand. As it did he began to form some handsigns, quickly the entire pile rose into the air and began forming the shape of a gigantic sword of iron sand.
As it formed, it also began to compress, turning the giant levitating weapon even tougher and deadlier. "Success!" Viole shouted, he finished forming handsigns and then started trying to levitate the weapon around trying to get the hang of controlling it. At first slightly difficult, but over a few minutes it felt easier and more natural.
Mid-flight Viole also tried changing the sword's appearance, first a gigantic disk then a hammer then a spear. The very ceiling of his magnetic abilities were put into trying to master this technique, and the results Viole was getting was such sweet victory. After an hour or so of messing around with his new technique, he turned it back into a pile of iron sand.
Satetsu Shigure [ Iron Sand Drizzle ] : Then moving around the pile, so that directly in front of him and it were a huge bunch of training dummies, Viole then prepared for the next jutsu. A little simple breathing exercises, a bit of stretching, some handsign practice and then he was prepared. First, he built up his chakra.
A lot like the last technique, he needed as much chakra as he could get to even use this jutsu. Maybe to a chuunin or other higher ranked ninja it was a simple task, but to a genin the amount required was quite large already. So he collected as much as he could inside, and focused it out of himself and into the pile of iron sand.
Then he levitated it off the ground, forming several handsigns as he did. The pile began seperating and compacting into several average small clumps. Moments later as he finished the handsigns, the clumps flew forward in a burst of speed towards the dummies.
Right through the dummies they flew, leaving them full of holes and even completely destroying a few unlucky enough to be caught by the full burst. The small clumps of iron sand were like bullets fired from a shotgun. Viole found it an excellent battle technique, for quick, effortless kills.
After a few more executions of the technique, from various angles and on different targets, Viole moved on. He was three techniques short of having mastered as much as he could from his bloodline jutsu at the moment and this excited him, he made such great progress in a short span of time! But of course the learning didn't stop there, it never did.
Satetsu Kyuu [ Iron Sand Coffin ] : Viole gathered the iron sand in the area that belonged to his control together into the large pile again. He took his sweet time as he did, giving himself a short break. As the sand slowly built up he tried to recall the last few techniques.
For a few short moments he came up blank. Was there something left after what he had just learned? Maybe he was imagining things...
Till it hit him, there was one move that had escaped him. One he was forgetting on purpose cause of how bloody a move it was. Not just that, there was no pride to gain from ever winning from using it.
Still, it was part of mastery, learning the move. To finish things as fast as possible he took a human sized amount of iron sand from the pile and encased a dummy in it. Within seconds the dummy was levitating in the air slowly being grinded by the increasingly-compact coffin of iron sand.
Having finished that, he had to go to the second part of the move. The one which made the move rather bothersome to use. The Iron Sand Funeral. Satetsu Soushiki [ Iron Sand Funeral ] : As the iron sand held the dummy in the air, Viole sure took his sweet time finishing him off. He even went inside the academy and got a cup of coffee and cookies and tried to force himself to forget he had ever had to do this. But it kept nagging at him over and over till he had to face it.
Or did he? Viole would delay doing this as much as he could, performing this technique would bring back that feeling. As if he could actually feel the gross, bloody mess of what was left of a living victim of the technique. It made his skin crawl and for years has been the source of some of his nightmares.
He wasn't scared to death of the feeling, but was always a bother to him. But after a quick breath, he dismissed the feeling, or at least kept it buried for now. Becoming a master shinobi was more important than entertaining his fears.
He built up his chakra and started forming handsigns. He would be done and through with this as fast as possible. Then he could go on to less disturbing stuff.
Aiming his hand at the encased dummy, he clenched it into a fist. The sand would follow his hand and start compacting even further, and further, till it completely crushed the dummy inside. The disgusting feeling came and passed as soon as he finished the technique then Viole went to the next technique. Satetsu Omori no Jutsu [ Iron Sand Clog Technique ] : To finish it all off, the plain old Iron Sand Clog jutsu. For this he got a wooden training dummy and placed it beside the iron sand pile. Next began building up chakra.
From himself, then into the iron sand. It was pretty routine now, using his bloodline jutsu. He didn't even break a sweat.
Viole then started forming a quick string of handsign. This technique really probably didn't need any but he was alright taking his time to make sure things were done right. After finishing, he waved his hand upward and the bottom part of the iron sand came up and tackled the wooden dummy beside it.
As it hit, the iron sand went deep within the dummy. All joints and gears and whatnot were filled with the scraps of metal. It impaired the dummy's movement completely.
Then Viole, having performed the technique flawlessly considered it learned. He then levitated the pile of iron sand away from him to a corner in a neat, compressed box. Then he'd try other jutsu.
Having mastered his bloodline the best he could for now, he moved on to other ventures in ninjutsu.
First the old, simple, elementless D-ranks. Making a quick handseal, then spinning as he becomes encased in a human sized cocoon. Then quickly breaking out of it to perform other jutsu. Jinteki no Mayu [ Human Cocoon Technique ] [1/1]
Then another D-rank, almost no difference in difficulty performing than the last. Viole did a handsign then touched his elbow. In an instant he became paralyzed, moments later when the jutsu was undone he went on to the others. Kanashibari no Jutsu [ Temporary Body Paralysis Technique ] [1/1]
Next was the C-ranks. Holding his arms forward, two snakes shot forward big enough to wrap around a dummy in front of him, they bound a dummy's movement completely. Jagei Jubaku [ Snake Authority Spell ] [1/1]
Next he got out three kunai from his pouch. He then made some short handsigns then in an insane burst of speed threw the three kunai forward. The three kunai flew deep into the wall as a result of the great force. Nadeshiko-Ryū Shinku Enbu [ Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance ] [1/1]
Then after picking up the three kunai and pocketing them he moved on to another jutsu. This time he had to make even more handsigns (duh) and then suddenly a whole murder of crows flew in an area around him. The black flock masked Viole's iron sand very well. Sanzengarasu no Jutsu [ Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique ] [1/1]
Now he was done with the basics, he was in for a doozy of a technique. The big guns in Maruton jutsu, for now at least. B-ranks and above were the kind that won wars.
Or at the very least won long, drawn-out fights. Viole made handsigns and built up chakra to his stomach. He then faced away from the academy so that it wouldn't be hit by the incoming attack.
Breathing in heavily as he finished the last handsign, then suddenly he let it all burst. He began puking a countless number of snakes and didn't seem to stop for a while. They all extended blades from their mouths and impaled all the trees and the ground in the direction they were spewed in. Mandara no Jin [ Myriad Snake Net Formation ] [3/3]
Next, after brushing his teeth and gargling some seriously powerful mouthwash was another B-ranked technique. One more clean and more on the side of utility than offense...and definitely a lot more clean. Viole started building his chakra flow and making handsigns.
Making a quick string of handsigns to mold his chakra first. Next he released it all as he jumped and clapped his feet together. A sensory barrier covering 20 meters around him came into existence.
He could feel all the movements of any being inside. No matter where they changed location he could still tell. It was quite an experience for his brain, but nothing out of the ordinary. Kekkai: Tengai Houjin [ Barrier: Dome Method Formation ] 3/3

Igarashi entered the dojo/academy with Renji in persuit following in after her, a bit angry but all the training would do her some good, her thoughts set on learning the rest of her tai styles and some new ones that may come in handy for a later use. Renji had followed her in but didn't want to get in the way of her training and headed over to a area away from everyone so as to not get in their way either. Igarashi first decided she might as well finish off her first tai style she had learned so turning to the scroll again she began studying it.
Igarashi quickly balled up her fist focusing her chakra into her hand striking outwards at a dummy nearby. First just striking it without releasing her chakra just to test the dummy out with a strike. Doing the strike again she released the chakra causing her strength in that one strike to increase exponentially upon impact with the dummy. Smiling to herself she couldn't help herself thinking of how hard something like this would hit a real person. Quickly shaking her head she went back to studying her next technique in the list of moves she could learn.
[ Oukashou - 1/1 (learned) ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Going straight onto the next task she read the taijutsu over and over in her head. Focusing her chakra into her foot she raised it like it said in a high arc she brought it down releasing the chakra built into her leg causing the ground floor to crack. Noticing the crack she snickered a bit thinking she had to of done a bit more than expected with the power behind these jutsu's shaking her head she decided to move from the main room to a secluded room away from everyone else training as to not cause tons of damage.
After entering a secluded and safe area for herself she went back to training. After much reading she tried the move. At first she started small by just doing the regular jumping kick trying to get that down and perfect. After many tries she finally got it right and decided to go ahead and add in the rest that was written down on the scroll. She did the kick at a nearby dummy trying to do as it said by hooking their legs with their opponent and if successful the user, meaning her, will attempt to cradle themselves and wrap around the opponent's limb where she would apply pressure to the limb causing it to snap and break or even remove the limb itself. Her first try at it she missed the hook and just knocked the dummy over and fell to the ground with a really loud thud. Retrying the jutsu this time she locked both her legs around the dummy's left arm. Applying pressure with her legs like the scroll said to do she felt the dummy's arm break into a ton of pieces and she fell to the floor. It worked it happened the way she wanted it to. She thought to herself on how all these moves would soon be put to use on the battle field. She attacked another dummy wrapping her legs around where the dummy's head would be knowing that this part on a real person would be a bit more difficult. Watching as the head flew off with how much pressure she had put into it.
Moving right along to the next move Igarashi had to be certain to get this one right. Reading the taijutsu over and over she started to think to herself how the jutsu would actually look before trying it. She continued to think for a while trying to piece it all together in her mind before trying the move herself. In her mind this jutsu was strong and fast just the way she liked it but if the first strike missed her entire strike would possibly be null-n-void. She then tried the first strike on the dummy then the heel sweep in the same go that was the first bit of the training down now to connect it with the rest. Connecting it to the rest she performed the jutsu causing the dummy to be kicked all over the place in just a split moment's notice. She was proud of herself for pulling off this jutsu.
Now that she had finished up training her first taijutsu style she might as well work on her second. Thinking to herself of what should be her next tai style she started scanning the scroll reading each and every taijutsu style listed on this scroll. It took her a while to read the scroll but it was well worth it. Her eyes finally settled on one that she had only heard stories of past people of importance using. It made her smile so much that the scroll slipped from her hands and it fell to the ground making a semi thud sound. Looking around she quickly picked it back up and began reading the scroll again. The Eight Celestial Gates, in her mind the thought of how much speed each gate would give her, she could hardly wait to start.
[ Gate #1 (Gate of opening)- 1/5 ]
At first she started by focusing inwards on her mind releasing any and all restraints in her thoughts. She began to think of her brain having many doors and she was rushing back and forth in her mind unlocking each door. Her mind felt lighter in a sense making it easier to move around and her muscles could be used to their full capabilities. In her mind she felt with each door unlocking her body became more and more fluent making it almost seem as if she was weightless and could go speeds that not anyone could ever dream but she knew she had much more training to go before mastering this jutsu.
[ Gate #1 (Gate of opening)- 2/5 ]
She turned to the dummy in the corner of the room, the feeling of this open mind made her feel less emotional like nothing could stand in her way. She first dragged the dummy away from the corner of the room. Looking at it she let her mind become almost as clear as a clear lake nothing on her mind she just let the power inside her go and the doors continued to unlock as she sat there in a almost meditative state. She took a breath in and exhaled it in the same turn. She had to keep a clear mind in this training. She was not going to give up once she started.
[ Gate #1 (Gate of opening)- 3/5 ]
Letting her mind open to the feelings around her she breathed in deeply letting every tiny little thing go from her mind from the thoughts of Kazurai to the thoughts of Renji. Her soul almost felt like it was floating in her mind it was so free but all it is, was the fact that her muscles all over her body just had nothing holding them back this time. She felt in any other sense free as a bird letting her muscles in a sense relax and just feel no restraints. Taking a few deep breaths she felt an almost cool feeling inside her mind. Like a cool summers breeze her mind was so clear that if anyone was to see inside her head they would think she had nothing in there just a empty hold of darkness.
[ Gate #1 (Gate of opening)- 4/5 ]
Letting her mind float within herself she felt the muscles in her body lose that last bit of stress that she must of been holding onto and she finally achieved it. She had finally opened the first gate by letting her mind go and letting the world just flow, no stress no pain just like a calm river flowing it just went. She felt great about herself after this and could not wait to get on with the next gate. She smiled to herself as she stood smoothing down her outfit looking around the room.
After opening the first gate she started to think of the taijutsu inside the gate that she could use. Looking the scroll over again she read about a certain move that if used correctly could do a bit of damage. She read it over and over again first picturing it in her mind then decided to do it herself. Quickly sending a kick at the dummy she was using to focus on when learning the first gate she felt the thing lift into the air, she then followed after it wrapping herself around the dummy feeling her chest touch the back of the dummy. She had to do this right the first try so she held on for dear life as if it were a real person and she was trying to keep them from moving or escaping. Feeling the momentum of going skyward now turn itself around and plummet downwards she threw herself into a spiral twist as her and the dummy plummeted down to the ground. Before she reached the ground she let go of the dummy watching as it struck the ground hard in that same instance she leaped out of harm's way landing a few feet away looking at her work.
After learning that move she decided to move on to the second gate. She sat down focusing on opening the second gate this gate was going to be a bit more on her mentality but she was ready for it. Thinking to herself she breathed in and out letting her body relax again like the first gate she had to let her mind become clear. She began by first opening all the doors in her mind to let her body relax, this gate was the gate of healing which would help her body heal itself mostly to repair the body in small ways not large or grander scales but she was ok with that.
[ Gate #2 (Gate of healing)- 1/5 ]
She sat there in a almost meditative state letting the feeling of healing rush over her. In her mind this should be simple but it was harder than the first gate in any sense. While letting her body relax she tried to block out all sounds around her just to focus deep within herself on nothing but the sheer thought of emptiness and calmness. Any and all sounds gone from her thoughts she felt the healing feeling sweep over her body like as if someone was slowly inching themselves into a icy cold tub backwards.
[ Gate #2 (Gate of healing)- 2/5 ]
Igarashi let her mind wander and it felt like she was backing up from her goal so she had to get herself back on track the cold feeling as slowly rising through her body but it was not like anything she felt before. The feeling had reached her hips but she still had much more to go she had to keep stalling herself letting her body get used to this feeling before going further into the sensations. Her mind staying open to everything and staying focused on her goal without being redirected with every other thing around her.
[ Gate #2 (Gate of healing)- 3/5 ]
Feeling the rush over her body the cold chilling feeling had reached her thighs and was slowly inching its way downwards . She tried to let the cold feeling get too much for her she had much more training to go and she was not going to give it up once she started. She wanted to prove herself to the village that she could do the even most strenuous tests needed to achieve the love of the village and trust that maybe one day she may become what she always dreamed of, becoming the Raikage. But it wasn't just strength that she needed she needed to prove she could be trusted and work for the village as a whole and have many friends. To be shown that Igarashi was fit for this position if the need arrived. She hoped she could one day become the Raikage even if it was still many years away in her future that she would try her hardest to get the approval of everyone of the village.
[ Gate #2 (Gate of healing)- 4/5 ]
She realized she let her mind wander again getting back on track again she felt the cold feeling sweep over her entire body now. She could feel the second gate opening, she had achieved it, she had done it again and she was proud of herself. She stood feeling the cold feeling dwindle like she was used to it so maybe now she wouldn't feel the cold feeling anymore. Her thoughts of now knowing two of the eight gates really made her feel she was getting somewhere in the world. She felt great knowing that possibly the village would finally believe in her.
Igarashi turned to the scroll again reading it over noticing another tai move inside the second gate. She turned around to another dummy not having a chain handy was a bit of an annoyance but she quickly found a substitute of a bit of rope that was hanging on the wall of the room this will do for now. Launching it at the dummy it wrapped itself really well as she then pulled it launching the dummy into the air watching it as it flew fast and high. She then pushed herself off the ground causing herself to get ahead of the dummy using her momentum she started striking the dummy with a nice array of strikes, knocking the dummy back down to the ground. upon reaching the ground the last strike was strong enough to send the dummy straight into the ground.
Igarashi thought to herself now to start the training on the third gate, the gate of life. She read the scroll for the first part reading what the side effects were she seemed to of mostly skimmed through it thinking she had it down how easy would it be right? Not like anything was going to go wrong right? She began trying to open the gate without thinking, letting her mind clear, she felt her body warm up all of a sudden and she started to grow a small shade of pink which made her jump at the sheer curiosity as to why her body would get warm let alone turn a shade of reddish pink. She shook her head and kept going thinking to herself that it was normal that this was something she would have to deal with if she wanted to learn these things.
[ Gate #3 (Gate of Life)- 1/5 ]
Igarashi continued to feel her body warming up bit by bit, and her skin turning a bit deeper of the color of red now more like a light red and not a pink color she was doing it she was training the gates she was going to learn this for the village, for herself, for everyone she held dear to her. In her mind she saw the entire village proud of her, her family was there, wait her family was dead how could that be. She then shook her head clearing her thoughts she had trailed off again she had thought of her brother and how she missed him so much. She had to get back to her studies and her training all this was depending on her entire future in this village.
[ Gate #3 (Gate of Life)- 2/5 ]
Igarashi went back to her training she started to focus again on opening that gate. Going back to reading the scroll again she noticed a few things she skipped over and went back to training instantly. In her state of mind she felt calm as she could ever be letting her mind go clear and not being distracted by anything else, she had to focus on the task at hand. Feeling her body heat up again gaining a more and more deeper shade of red to her skin. As she watched her skin change she could feel her muscles tensing a bit to their limit. Her body felt warmer like she had a small fever and the red could surely be seen very well over the color of her own natural skin she was almost the color of a red tomato when it was fully ripe.
[ Gate #3 (Gate of Life)- 3/5 ]
Letting her body heat up and change shades she felt her strength to her muscles grow. She knew this was part of the gates but it felt so new to her that she hand to flex a bit just to stretch out her muscles. Flexing her fingers and arms she began stretching out trying to see if she could loosen the muscles so they were not so tense. Stretching her legs now she felt the heat of her body dwindle down but the shade of her skin still stayed the same it was almost over with this training.
[ Gate #3 (Gate of Life)- 4/5 ]
Letting her body flex itself she felt each and every muscle on its own , like each and every muscle was i single piece that she could feel tensing and flexing with every move she made her skin now a nice crimson color and the heat that she once felt was finally gone. She couldn't help but look at her skin wondering as to why she would have to go red of all colors it made her stick out like a sore thumb. under her white hair on her hear and ears and cat tail alike. She began flexing her hands again causing her new retractable claws to go in and out from her fingers. She was seeming more and more feline like the only thing she didn't have was a full body of fur now. She wasn't going to ever reach that type of bestiality, ever.
Igarashi continued on with her training's of the gates. Looking around the room for a second she noticed things about the room like a stool and table and chairs that held towels and a water basin so she could wash her face. She had seemed to work up a little bit of a sweat with all this training so she decided to wash her face dunking her hands in the water she splashed herself a few times in the face then reaching for a clean towel she patted her face dry. Pulling the stool that had a cushioned pillow strapped to it to the center of the room she sat down and began by concentrating inwards letting her mind go clear and letting her entire body relax feeling slight twitches in her muscles as she breathed in and out as calmly as she could as she kept her eyes closed letting everything else in the room disperse in her mind that it was just herself she could see her chakra network inside her. She continued to breathe normally while she felt slight pain from her muscles. it had been some time in the training that she had been standing but she had to let the pain slide as she continued her gates training.
[ Gate #4 (Gate of Pain)- 1/5 ]
She started to feel her body warm up as if she were running a fever but knew it was just her getting past the third gate and moving towards the next gate. Letting herself relax to its fullest she felt a weird as her spine tingled a bit as she tried to open the gate herself. She couldn't help it, it felt like something was crawling on her spine and so she reached behind her and smacked it hard causing herself to lose balance and almost fall off the stool. Realizing that it was just her training she grumbled to herself knowing that she just lost her concentration that she was doing so good at doing. She quickly positioned herself again on the stool she sat upon and tried again by relaxing her muscles first and then by clearing her mind as she reached again into herself to unlock that fourth gate.
[ Gate #4 (Gate of Pain)- 2/5 ]
Feeling herself now fully relaxed she let her mind clear again as she felt the tingling in her spine again she started to focus on that spot as the tingling subsided but what was next she was not ready for. She then felt like as if somebody had jabbed her in the back making her yelp like a kicked dog would make. She knew she had to get through this if she was going to be able to protect her village. To her this village meant everything to her, and to lose it without having been able to do anything would be like causing dishonor to her clan and her own village who had fought so bravely to protect one another before during the fight with the Nibi. Igarashi tried to refocus inward on her chakra and her inner self, she had to master this style to her this would help the village in a time of need.
[ Gate #4 (Gate of Pain)- 3/5 ]
Igarashi let all her emotions and thoughts go finally and continued to focus on the sound of her breathing. So calm yet so quiet but she could tell she was breathing either way. Letting her chakra expel outwards she felt the warmth of her body heat up again and her skin began to turn a shade of red. Without loosing focus she continued on with her training. Letting the moment flow over her like it was nothing she felt the tingling and then the sharp pain but this time she sat through it knowing it was coming. Yes it still hurt but she would let it roll right off her without disturbing her training. Still breathing in deeply yet slowly she continued to get through the training without a last thought.
[ Gate #4 (Gate of Pain)- 4/5 ]
Letting her body become used to the feelings inside her she continued to breathe as if she were sleeping but still in an awakened state. She saw the chakra in her mind spark where the spot in her spine hurt and she realized she had done it. Feeling good about herself she continued to focus on the spot for a few moments feeling as if she were so light that she could move four times her normal speed. She then stepped down from the stool and felt the surges almost run through her. It felt so good to be now able to open the fourth gate. Smiling to herself she started moving around the room with a bit more speed to her step. It felt so good to be where she was at. Just one more gate for now to learn then she would move onto other things. She needed to train more on her chakra and stamina control and this would be the perfect time to try that.
Going straight onto the next gate she focused inwardly again as she sat herself back onto the stool and closed her eyes to be able to focus better within herself. First was to clear her mind letting all her emotions, thoughts and just about everything for that matter escape her mind she took a deep breath inwards. As she breathed in she felt the sudden urge to cough and began to cough. Shaking her head and bracing herself on the stool she continued to cough. She must of taken too deep of a breath to cause herself to cough as bad as she was. Opening her eyes she looked around the room again and noted that she was still alone and finally after the coughing fit was over she started to clear her mind again.
[ Gate #5 (Gate of Limit)- 1/5 ]
Igarashi continued breathing normally feeling the heat from her body rising knowing she had passed the first two gates and was slowly opening the third while focusing deeply within herself. She felt the heat become more intense as she knew her skin was changing color again. Still breathing as calmly as ever she moved on to the next gate feeling light tingles again but no sharp pain. Letting her body relax she focused on the fifth gate trying to picture herself opening it inside her own mind. Feeling her body slightly twitch in the seat she sat upon she lost her focus she had to start all over again from the start. Shaking her head she moved on to continuing her training.
[ Gate #5 (Gate of Limit)- 2/5 ]
Taking a deep breath in she focused again clearing her mind at first which was opening her first gate then moving onto the second. Feeling her mind clear of any and all thoughts and feelings again she moved onto the third gate feeling that warmth again. She then sneezed , which caused her to tip herself over on the stool she sat upon cursing to herself she grabbed her side from where she had fell on the stool. Grumbling to herself she stood up and tried again this time not moving a muscle as she sat there trying to conquer this damn gate. She cleared her mind again and continued to unlock each learned gate as she made her way towards the fifth gate she had to learn. This one would allow her to move at five times her normal speed and jounin and lower rank would not be able to see her or be able to react to her motions.
[ Gate #5 (Gate of Limit)- 3/5 ]
Feeling her body tingle like she felt before with the fourth gate she took a deep breath in and held it for a few seconds. Releasing it out she sat as still as she could trying to focus hard on the supposed locked gate that lay in front of her in her mind. As she reached out to touch it with her mind she felt another tingle along her spine that was in a different spot then the gate before it. She withdrew her mind slightly getting used to the feeling first and then pushing forward again feeling the sensations again but continuing onward.
[ Gate #5 (Gate of Limit)- 4/5 ]
Reaching the gate with her mind she felt more tingling in her spine as she felt a a popping sensation along her spine. Instead of her chakra sparking it popped causing it to seem as if the door was now opening. She felt a sigh of relief as she pushed with her mind feeling her body now lighten even more she opened her eyes standing again, Her body felt like she could now run five times her normal speed so she raced around the room a few times just testing it out. Wow it felt good to have learned the first five gates. She would learn the rest later. She then remembered reading there was a skill that she had to learn inside the fifth gate.
Igarashi grabbed a nearby dummy pulling it out into the middle of the room. She stood in front of it readying herself to start this move. Remembering back to her reading and picturing it in her mind she nodded to herself and began the training. With quick movements she was under the dummy and sending a kick upward at the dummy causing it to go skyward. Moving ahead of the dummy in the air she started to pummel the dummy with regular taijutsu strikes causing the dummy to groan and creek with every blow. As she then struck the dummy hard enough to send it back down to the ground. Moving her body downwards with the dummy she pulled her body close to the dummy attaching herself almost to the dummy as they both fell downward. Letting the dummy get some distance she yanked the dummy back up to drive her palm into the chest of the dummy causing it to crash into the ground causing a good bit of damage. Causing it to shatter from both the impact of her palm and the ground itself.
Igarashi then decided it was time to learn a new thing. This time she would start with her meditations. Like Myurai once taught her to do years ago when she was just a child. Shaking her head of the thought she sat down and focused on her chakra letting it expel outward. She felt her chakra swirling around in side of her. She continued to breathe in and out calmly as she felt her Katon and Doton chakra circle around her almost as if it were second nature. She felt her body heat up from her Katon chakra but not to burn her at all but still warm. She began to let her mind drift as she watched her chakra's dance about each other in her mind like playful kittens.
[ Advanced Training: Concentrate - 1/3 ] [x2]
Letting her chakra's dance about her body she focused down to the depths of her soul. She noticed her Doton chakra now causing her body to harden like as if it were now being covered with caked on dirt. Her hair was standing out on its ends now being encased with the doton element making her look funny to anyone that had passed by her while she meditated. Breathing in and out calmly she continued to focus on her chakra letting it become her as if they were one.
[ Advanced Training: Concentrate - 2/3 ] [x2]
Continuing with her chakra training she felt a cool breeze hit her from the outside as if she was no longer meditating. She felt herself feeling the encased arms and every other part of her with the doton. but the warmth was no more. As she opened her eyes she saw she was still covered with the katon chakra cause it shown so brightly around her she dare not move from her sitting state though for fear of disturbing it. As she watched the flames it danced about her skin like the flames were licking the doton that now lay on her arms. She wondered if her face was covered. She could still breathe though so she knew that there was no fear with this training. She then released it as soon as it started as the doton chakra dispersed leaving no signs of dirt anywhere on her body. The Katon slowly went out as well as she stood from her training looking about the room.
~Kumogakure | Jounin | Panther/ Human | Chakra 460/460 | Stamina: 445/445~
After all this training had been done Igarashi looked to Renji who was laying next to her. 'Your turn boy.' She said to him through her connection with him. She then decided to move on to training him up before they left for the gates.
She pointed to the scroll letting Renji look at it as well. She then made the marker on the ground like it said and pointed at it. Renji obliged stepping into it . She then started to form the hand seals needed for this jutsu to work trying to get Renji to copy them. Renji started to make the hand seals Igarashi was doing but with hit tail since well his paws were kinda useless at the moment. Igarashi then pulled out a photo of her favorite singer since she was a kid and Renji watched her as she placed it down in front of him knowing that he would know this guy inside and out because that was all Igarashi would go on about for days and days. She even won a contest where she had dinner with him once and of course he had to go with her, for protection reasons. So he felt he knew the guy pretty well enough to make himself look like him.

Renji thought back more to where Igarashi and this guy took a stroll around the town after the dinner. The guy wasn't all that interested with a thirteen year old Igarashi and he could see it in his eyes. He started to feel angry at that time because Igarashi was swooning over him and he cared not a ounce about her. In his mind he probably thought that he couldn't wait for this to be over. Renji continued on with the hand seals with his tail trying to focus real hard on how his entire body looked.He started to think about every ounce of the guy from the shade of color in his cheeks to the height and weight. He had to get this done. Even though he despised the fact Igarashi wanted to change him into him of all people.

Renji focused on the photo harder still getting the hand seals down with his tail. After finally getting them down he continued them over and over till it was a perfect sync of seals. He looked to Igarashi who was looking at him smiling. Renji continued to focus on the photo ahead of him noticing the way he smiled, and the way his body was made like a piece of art. That if he could he would just smash in a instant but knowing the reasoning behind Igarashi's madness for wanting to make him look like this was one thing. Igarashi watched as Renji continued to train hard she was very proud of her cat.

Renji formed the seals again with his tail and felt a cold chill up his spine. The jutsu was supposed to throw ribbons around the user covering their body. But this cold chill was causing his hair to stand up on end. He continued to focus ahead of him though as he looked at the photo. He started thinking back to the date again how Igarashi was pretty much hanging off the guy like a lost puppy following him where ever he would go. Renji couldn't help think of how this guy goes about his day caring only for his looks and himself. Igarashi being the young child she was didn't care it was her life long dream to be on a date with this guy even though he utterly despised her. Renji remembered that the guy grabbed Igarashi a flower off of a rose bush just to see her reaction and accidentally dropped it in the mud trying to hand it to her. Renji knew it was no accident poor Igarashi was so foolish he thought to himself.

Renji tried again focusing on the photo and doing the hand seals again this time feeling more then just a cold shill. he could feel something tickling his back paw. He tried to ignore it as much as he could but after a while it really started to agitate him and so he went and attacked his paw biting down on it to stop the feeling. He then realized he broke his concentration and grumbled as he knew he would have to start again. He started off again with the seals needed and felt the same things over again. He then started to think back to that same night almost as if her were having flashbacks. He saw how Igarashi was when he dropped the rose explaining that it was ok it was going to die anyways. Renji scoffed at the attitude the guy was putting towards her but knew that she never would see it that she was too infatuated with just being with the guy.
[ Shadow Mirror Body Change Method - 5/7 ]
Renji focused hard on the photo noticing every shadow and indent this guy had. He then went back to the date again remembering Igarashi and the guy stopping at a ice cream stand the guy bought himself a ice cream but not Igarashi. Which made him upset. Igarashi made up another excuse saying that if she ate ice cream that it would go straight to her hips. Renji really wondered if that girl was as dense as ever because he could tell the guy hated being here and the night was almost over. Renji then came back to the real world out of his what some would call dream world looking at Igarashi who was still watching him waiting to see what would take place. Renji closed his eyes for a few seconds and took a deep breath in as another cold chill hit his spine.
[ Shadow Mirror Body Change Method - 6/7 ]
Renji tried one last time at doing this, doing the hand seals with his tail he felt the chills up his spine at first then felt the ribbons finally forming around him what happened then though only Igarashi and Renji would ever know. He started to change shape under the ribbons transforming his body into an exact replica of the guy. As the ribbons fell away he stood exactly as the guy actually looked. He remembered back to the date and when it finally had ended where Igarashi gave him her number and took off running home shy to see his reactions. Renji stood around for a while and watched as the guy tossed the paper in the trash and headed back to his bus so he could leave and start on his tour he was about to do. He then remembered a month later Igarashi crying because she had read in the paper that he had died due to a heart attack, that apparently the guy had a stroke of some kind. Renji believed it was drugs but Igarashi believed someone had tried to kill him.
Renji looked over his new body smirking. He then realized he could smile. All this was new to him and it was going to take some time getting used to. Igarashi held out a pair of leather pants that she had stored away for this occasion and a pair of shinobi boots. Renji looked at then awkwardly then realized he was butt naked and grabbed them immediately. Placing them on almost like as if second nature. He then turned to Igarashi who nodded in a compliment way."Looking good Renji" Renji sighed as he ran his now human hand through his hair. Ruffling his hair around he couldn't help but laugh. He quickly realized he was laughing and shut up looking at Igarashi for guidance. He had never been a human before so it was all new. He then opened his mouth and spoke. "Well that was eventful." He had a deep sounding voice, it was as if he knew how to speak all along. Igarashi smiled again as she then pointed to the next scroll.
Renji looked to the scroll and nodded. He started by pointing his palms outward focusing his chakra into his palms. Knowing full well that this was gonna be a strange feeling but he had to learn all this stuff for Igarashi. Watching Igarashi as she herself did the same motions walking him through them even though she herself could not do wind techniques. Renji continued to focus his chakra to his hands.
[ Decapitating Air Waves - 1/3 ]
Renji focused harder then he had been before on his chakra deep within himself trying to position it in the palms of his hands. He felt tingling in his hands where the chakra was starting to form at. Igarashi watched Renji focusing hard trying to get this jutsu down. Renji after moving a good amount of chakra to his hands now had to focus it to a pin point in the center of his palm and turn it into a stream of wind that could decapitate someone if really hit straight on with it. Renji continued to focus with all his might trying to master this jutsu without any issues.
[ Decapitating Air Waves - 2/3 ]
Renji finally did it. Focusing his wind chakra to a certain point he had finally done it. As he then pushed almost outward with the wind chakra causing it to form itself into a jet stream of wind that could break through stone like as if it were butter. Letting the technique go he turned to look at Igarashi again looking for approval from her. Renji still liked knowing that he was making Igarashi happy it was his job after all to make her smile. He turned again to the scroll without letting Igarashi showing him the moves and started scanning it for other moves that could benefit the two of them.
Renji read the next jutsu reading it over and over in his mind. He then turned and started to form the hand seals together like it said to do. He started breathing inward in a very deep breath and then exhaling it in that same moment. This was a great technique for Igarashi to use with her Hail technique and with it causing her jutsu to become more powerful. Renji continued to string each hand seal together faster and faster till he could memorize it without having to keep reading the scroll. To him this Technique could really mess up someones day if struck by it.
[ Tornado Barrage - 1/5 ]
Watching his hands string the jutsu together he started to wave his hands around like as if he was creating tornado's out of thin air. Renji's mind started to spin as he watched his hands. Shaking his head of the thought he tried to keep from becoming dizzy while he performed this jutsu. While moving his hands around he started focusing on his wind chakra again trying to get it to cooperate and do as the jutsu described. Renji's arms were getting tired but he would not stop now. Not while he was this close to doing things right for a change.
[ Tornado Barrage - 2/5 ]
Focusing on his wind chakra he started forming a tornado, it was so small in size he quickly got rid of it before Igarashi could see. But from the sound of her snickering she had seen which made him feel even weirder. He continued to try over and over, the tornado's not really amounting to the size they were meant to be. Renji sighed after numerous tries and went back to the scroll to make sure he was doing it right. Seeing where he might of missed he went back to training this jutsu and tried again.
[ Tornado Barrage - 3/5 ]
Renji felt his wind chakra around him as he pushed it into tornado's. not just one but numerous. He had to master this some how and this was the only way he knew how to do it without issues or hurting Igarashi. Renji continued to focus on his wind chakra pushing it around and around trying to create bigger and larger tornado's so he could fully achieve the main goal of this jutsu. Renji felt the cold chill of his wind chakra but continued to train either way. Making bigger tornado's without out much effort he was getting somewhere with this jutsu but it was not the original size of what this jutsu asked for.
[ Tornado Barrage - 4/5 ]
Renji finally did it after much concentration he did it. He had created numerous larger scaled tornado's to fit into this room, but before they could do any kind of destruction to the room he quickly abolished the creations. Looking to Igarashi again he spoke. "I believe we are done here for now. Let's go meet the others at the gates."
Igarashi looked to Renji and nodded."Yes lets. Don't want to keep them waiting too long."As she then turned with Renji following after her leaving the area and heading straight for the gates. She felt accomplished today and that she was ready for anything that might swing her way.
