The clones all dispersed and Shion fell on her back, breathing heavily from such extensive training. Sure, she hadn't really been the one doing the training, but she was just a genin... a genin who just made more clones then she could honestly handle in order to carry out what felt like hours of nonstop training. Shion lay there for several minutes, catching her breath and gathering her thoughts. That's right... she was supposed to meet someone at the Blue Dragon. Shiro? Yes, that was his name. Slowly, Shion stood to her feet and left, making her way to the armory to see what her next assignment was.
Genesis arrived at the Ninja Academy. He had only spent his last few months here and was still unfamiliar with the layout of the village, despite traveling to the Academy many times for private lessons. He knew there was a small training ground in the back and it was there he would practice his jutsu. In the grass in the midst of an outdoor running track he unrolled the Sacred Scroll of Light passed down from the elders of his temple to him. The scroll contained instructions on how to harness Kenra's Light for one's own, and blasphemous as it was, he knew that he needed to know how to be able to do it. Time to get to work!
The first three techniques on the scroll were very simple, just some introductory techniques to the abilities he would learn. The first one simple created a brighter orb of Light than he was already allowed to create. He extended his hand and let the light pour into his palm and viola! There the orb appeared. He tossed it and let it stick to a training dummy for a few seconds before letting it dissipate.
The next technique just caused him to flash and blinded anyone who looked upon it. Building up the Light within himself he let it violently expand out, breaking the confines of his mortal body for a split second before restraining it once more. This resulted in a very brief but very bright flash of light. He was certain he had this part mastered and moved on.
This last beginner technique was actually quiet useful. It let him move, instantly, in a flash of light "Damn this is gonna be cool" He muttered under his breath as he set his sights on a tree limb 100 yards away. Molding the chakra internally he cast the jutsu and in a split second he was sitting on that tree limb. This was going to be very useful in battles.

Hachiro casually walked about the training area behind the dojo. There he noticed a young boy that might have been roughly his own age. What interested the new graduate even more was the scroll he carried. A scroll that dealt with his mother's bloodline. Hachiro's eyes narrowed, wondering what the boy's connection might be. ' At least it isn't father's relative...' he thought, clenching his fist over the headband tucked away on his sash that bore the insignia of the hidden moon village. Well, there was no way of knowing if his boy was friend or foe until they met.
Hachiro stepped forward, smiling boldly as he extended his hand. " Excuse me, nice to meet you! I am Hachiro Hirohiko, eighth prin...." he caught himself before giving the full introduction. " Hachiro, I'm Hachiro! Who might you be?" he asked without hesitation, scratching at the back of his head awkwardly. His days at his father's palace had taught him to be bold, even if it was not the best approach. His honesty was transparent. While he was curious of the scroll, he was more curious about meeting a new person.
Genesis was so engrossed in reading the scroll he didn't hear the newcommer approach him, so when he suddenly heard a voice he jumped a few inches off the ground and then hopped away from Hachiro, turning to meet him as he drew his Greatsword. His blade, all five and a half feet of it, fell tip first into the ground as Genesis relaxed, a slight grin curling the edges of his mouth as he chuckled "Ohhh, Kenra damn it, you scared me!" Throwing his blade so that it rested on his shoulder, he strode over and extended the hand that wasn't holding his weapon. 'Did he say he was a prince?!' Playing dumb, he spike, "Hachiro you said? My name's Genesis. I've just sat down for a bit of training if you'd like to observe or join" The genin holstered his weapon and shrugged "Up to you"
Striding back over to where he dropped the scroll he picked it up, the temple seal clearly visible on the outside of the parchment. The first couple techniques he wished to learn were some more offensive techniques. Kenra's light would smite all those who wished to defy her commandments. After channeling the energy within himself and mixing it with the Light born within his breast, Genesis raised his hands to the sky. As he did thousands of points of sunlight accumulated into sharp senbon-like constructs. They hovered above and around him for a period of time. After swiping his arm across his body, Genesis directed the weapons. Thousands of impact sounds were heard as the Senbon completely coated a straw training dummy nearby, nearly destroying the training device.

Hachiro's hand instinctively went to his sword when Genesis's own hand met his greatsword, stepping back on his left foot in order to gain some distance he readied himself. Luckily, the aggresive action was merely due to a fright that Hachiro gave the boy. He cursed the name Kenra. Another oddity, confirming he most likely had a connection to Getsugakure. To secure his thoughts, the boy who called himself genesis released a technique that was all too familiar to the boy. Hachiro played its motions out in his head before the boy would complete his. [ Tenkyu: C Rank [1/4] Hachiro would recognize the set up of the technique before it was fully launched. "Tenkyu" he said quietly as he mimicked the action. The light that gathered in the area doubled as Hachiro allowed the light beams to concentrate. [ Tenkyu: C Rank [2/4] As Genesis's senbon launched, Hachiro's would follow almost immediately after, directed by the smooth hand motion that directed the technique to a straw dummy just off to the left of Genesis's. He knew the new friend would either be caught off guard and excited or he would be defensive. He wasn't sure which to expect. [ Tenkyu: C Rank [3/4] As the light pierced the dummies they would spit straw as exit wounds formed, sending the target to the earth below its tethered home. As the light faded, Hachiro would slowly drop his hand, signaling the end of the technique. His bright blue eyes shifted towards Genesis. [ Tenkyu: C Rank [4/4]]
Hachiro smiled honestly once more. " So..... " He began, hesitating for an instant before asking. " You hail from the moon country as well?" He asked firmly.

This kid loves to keep spooking him. The second, unexpected, sound of Tenkyu being used startled him, causing him to whip around and face Hachiro. 'Impossible' He thought himself the only one blessed by Kenra's Light. That was arrogant of him, he supposed, but still to find another such individual so soon?! What could the odds be.
Genesis recovered from his shock quickly and stood up straight, grinning "Never heard of the Moon Country, I was raised here in the Land of Lightning. Never met anyone else who could use Her Light but I guess it's a relief that I'm not the only one" At this he turned to Hachiro, facing him fully "I trust you don't...misuse your gift"

__ It took practically dragging her partner from the KPD headquarters all the way back to the dojo, but they would eventually reach the end of the trail they were following. Ada stopped outside of the building to speak to her partner, "Okay, he should be around here. I'm honestly not sure what to expect by question him, but let's keep it casual. No need for the good cop, bad cop roles right out of the gate, right?" She nodded to Selina, hoping they were in agreement about how to handle the situation. With that said, Ada turned about and went inside first.
She would navigate the building, sorting through rooms and whatnot until she spotted the one they were looking for. A simple nod of her head toward her partner was the only given signal before approaching Genesis and Hachiro. Even steps carried her toward the boys' ongoing conversation, but she would only vaguely hear the end of whatever Hohenheim said by the time she got close. "Good afternoon, gentlemen." Ada slightly bowed her head toward Genesis, "Mister Hohenheim. My partner wanted to apologize for her behavior back at headquarters." She raised her head and left it to Selina to deliver on the offered apology so they could get to work here.

~Current Theme Music~:Phweeen Biography - Mana Khemia Toso would arrive at the training grounds. A strange arrival to say the least. Three tentacles wrapped around paper bags protruded from his back beneath an excessively large coat. In his arms extending much wider than any normal persons arms were two sizable canvas bags. Chances were Unki was already around here somewhere after all his arrival was as slow as it was strange. The paleish man found a tree in which he would slowly begin placing down the groceries of which could potentially last three days and the canvas bags before wiping away a single bead of sweat with a now free tentacle.
"That should be sufficient bloop. Unk-nee should have the appropriate scrolls so that I may preserve these. bloop. Ah, perhaps I took off too soon. Looking back it may have been rude to simply assume she would go so far as to spend her own hard earned ryo on my behalf...I wonder if by chance she found anyone promising for the journey. Bloop." Toso looked at his assortment of out of place items on a training field with the same stagnant expression he always has.
"Ah, bloop well perhaps I'll start on some light reading as wait for her to notice me." The guidebook for the Uzumaki mask in his possession to be exact. He'd remove the small guide and would begin flipping through the pages to find the one topic that interested him so long ago. Manifesting one's spirit as a weapon. He would quickly find it after thumbing through quickly while stopping for a brief few moments on some pages that had interesting tidbits and tips about possession Ah, here it is." The chapter titled Reikon no Fumetsu [ Manifestation: Immortality of the Soul ]. Kitsunetsuki [ Possession ] C 1/1
The following chapter would read 'Reikon no Furmetsu is an advanced technique for mask owners. The owner will imbue his very soul into his mask and in the process use the essence of said soul to create any weapon of said souls desire. Due to the complexity of the technique and how overwhelming it can be to have ones soul leave their body it is highly recommended that one first train Kirikae: Seikitai [ Replacement: Astral Body ] to adapt to the feeling. However, if you are a mask owner and not of Uzumaki descent this may be impossible for you.' "Unfortunate." Toso was about to flip the guide back to possession before noticing something else within the guide. 'If you are not a uzumaki do not fret! Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] is a skill similar that all shinobi can use! See instruction on pg 15 if this is the case. If you are of Uzumaki descent see pg 6. Toso would then gleefully flip to the aforementioned page to soak in its knowledge. The technique seemed simple enough. He closed his eyes and loosed his chakra. He'd find himself opening them again to see himself. The book did not lie...this was strange. Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] C 1/1
Toso would then wake up as if having had a bad dream. "Bloop well that was certainly something." Quickly turning the page back to where he was before he would no thoroughly read about Reikon no Fumetsu. Reikon no Fumetsu using one's spirit to manifest weapons of unimaginable capability. To an artist having a weapon such as that got his juices flowing. Toso began to read even faster. "So then all I most do is..." Toso would form a single double hand sign. Suddenly his vision would grow dark. Then return again.
He felt lighter, smaller, yet he still felt like himself "Ah...nothing seems different." Toso's husk of a body would then stare at the emptiness in front of him following the will of the mask and relaying the information accordingly. "...hmm aaaah cannon bloop?' Suddenly what manifested in front of him was a squid shaped cannon with cartoonish angry eyes. "BLOO BLOO BLOO! SO IT DID WORK!" Suddenly Toso's overexcitedness preemptively caused the cannon to fire a blunt squid cartoony painted watermelon. Which struck him square in his bodies abdomen. This caused the now husk of a body to smack into the tree he was resting by and causing the mask to be dislodged and the book to drop. Next to it.
The mask falling next to the book Toso's soul followed suit. An ethereal individual of himself manifested from the mask which would then look upon his body with a frown. "That's not good. bloo." Toso would then begin to wave to whomever would see the ghost of a man first. The page of the book on the section where in it boldly states, should the mask ever fall off during this state one is in danger of never being able to return to their body unless the mask is promptly placed back upon the body that lost it oncemore. This would be the perfect time for a 'good samaritan' to return the squid to his body or a 'sort of huffy about being abandoned Unki' to mess with a squid. Of course this was also an opportune time to be a total jerk stealing the strange mans groceries or the mask itself. Toso hoped that didn't happen though...he really didn't need another almost dying moment. Kengen: Reikon no Fumetsu [ Manifestation: Immortality of the Soul ] A [2/2] (1 Free training post used)

__Ada was so smart! First she was right in saying that the two should take it easy with their interviewing since, if this guy was indeed part of the village, it was wise to bare no ill will toward him. Second of all, Ada used Selina's initial awkwardness as a gap to speak up. Naturally this time the magical girl was not going to waste the opportunity. "Yep. I'm SO sorry mister clearly Kumo ninja who has a headband from our village." She said as she gave a not so subtle wink to Ada. Clearly she had to work on her acting. Regardless, she smiled widely and bowed her head in respect, which was somewhat the formal way of apologizing. "Just out of curiosity though, you did go to the Raikage for a headband, right?" She said with her finger on her lip. If he did then Selina was going to have to double think on what was wrong with him.
"Tsh tsh tsh" He clicked his teeth as he shyly smiled. " Looks like you ladies caught me at least, I almost forgot to swing by. I'll be on my way now." He started sprinting towards the office, turning back and waived to the group of ninja. " I'll be seeing you, Genesis."
Man, people were showing up left and right to talk to him! Kumokagure shinobi were so friendly, it warmed his heart. Turning to face the two girls from the KPD Headquarters he returned their greeting "Good day to you, Lady Ada, and to you as well Tiny Madam" Bowing to each of them in turn. He listened to what they had to say, and chuckled as Hachiro thought they were talking to him an left. The small girl was clearly up to something but he couldn't figure out what. She kept bringing up this word headband. He had no clue what it meant but he was sure he didn't have one.
Reaching to his chest he unbuckled the clip that kept the greatsword attached to his body via it's holster. The Behemoth Sword fell to the ground with a loud clatter. "I don't believe I have one of those" He said as he unbuttoned the buttons on his overcoat, taking it off to reveal his plain white shirt. He took a piece of paper out of his coat pocket before he let it, too, fall to the ground"All I have it this" He handed the paper to Ada. On it held the order for Genesis to travel to Kumo to train in order to become the Defender of his Temple, Kenra's Warrior. It was signed at the bottom by Elder Gotsu and stamped with the seal of Kenra. "And in case you still don't believe me..." He pulled his shirt off and threw it on the pile as well, revealing his bare chest"
In large black ink the mark of Kenra was tattoo'd on his chest, perfectly mirroring the sigil on the documents "I'm supposed to be training to become a Paladin, not a Shinobi. I'm sorry if my breach in etiquette offended you, I am still unsure of how things go around here. This village is...strange"

OOC: This post will be added onto for additional solo training only.
Ahead of her was a task. Her first task as Chunin and thus felt a lot riding this mission. She had time and she needed to advantage of this time. Perfect opportunity to train. The first ninja she saw, the girl approached with a humble (with a hint of charm) inquiry for assistance in her training. A jounin who was wrapping up lessons with a genin. Unki wasn’t fully aware of the genin until the jounin noted that their students were present, however, expressed their eagerness to also take advantage of the moment and provide a demonstration to all three juniors. Unki and the jounin agreed on a spar.
With a desire to improve her dodging skills the match initiated after a mutual bow. The jounin would be granted the first move and act as so. Unki had to anticipate this opponent would be stronger and wouldn’t go all that easy on her. The first move from the jounin, a hard right hook, that Unki either had to try to grab and stop or dodge entirely. On the grounds that a swing was anticipated, Unki was able to embrace the option throw herself back. Here, her reaction time was slow and the jounin was able to follow through with an upper-cut. {1 of 6}
Unki took the hit. The observing genin gasped. She stumbled backwards, rubbed her chin, and worked her jaw. No joke, that swing hurt. But, she would have to recover quickly as it seems her opponent wasn’t too generous in giving her a moment’s rest. The jounin would strike at Unki’s opened stance. She ducked. Her opponent crouched and tried to knock her out of her footing and, at the last minute, Unki managed a jump.{2 of 6}
For some reason, Unki wasn’t making her attempts to block obvious. Her arms her were in and near shoulder level rather than hovering to protect her face. The jounin delivers two punches in succession. Unki worms out of the path of the first one but takes the second one on her left shoulder. {3 of 6}
The jounin paused the fight and offered to take the time to show the girl and demonstrate a throw. The jounin told Unki to first follow through with a high, roundhouse kick and from there the demonstration could follow through. So, she did. Unki leaned back, raised, and swung her leg toward the jounin’s shoulder. Her leg was caught and immobilized between her opponent’s open hand and forearm. “Now, you would grab,” the jounin explained as they moved both hands to latch onto her calf. “Simultaneously guiding your opponent’s leg forward, then raise some.” The jounin followed through with Unki’s limb slowly and inched her captured leg higher. “After changing your stance as so,” the jounin evened out their footing before aiming to take a kick. “Then continue with a kick at your opponent’s leg to knock them off their feet. I won’t do go that far, you try.” {4 of 6}
Thus, the jounin released Unki’s leg and both readied themselves to try the move. Unki assumed a sort of “battle” stance and waited for the ninja to strike. Then in came the high-kick.Unki saw her opening and did as instructed and attempted to grab. However her hold was incorrect and lost her nerves. The jounin withdrew as they didn’t act as the type to smack young ninja “needlessly”. “Try again. The kick will be coming in from your left, so have right arm like this,” the jounin set Unki’s arm in the correct position. “And ready your left arm. Your hand has to be here.” Her left arm and hand were adjusted into position. “Remember that. You’ll have only split seconds to reassume that position.” {5 of 6}
The advantage was given to Unki this time. For the second time, the jounin readied their self to bring in a kick, as before. Unki had her arms in an ordinary position as she replayed the move back in her head. The kick! The girl stepped back and replicated the arm positions. Although she had a shaky start this time, Unki managed to immobilize the jounin’s kick. Then, as described, she adjusted one foot to change her stance to something more stable before aiming to take her own strike. The girl let out a miniature roar as she shifted and kicked her opponent’s opposite leg out from under them. {6 of 6} Soft Formless Training 6 / 6 Rank B}
As she hoped, the jounin lost their balance as Unki let go of their body and dropped to the floor. Below, the jounin voiced their applaud as they got back on their feet. “Well done.” ”Thank you very much!” “It was my pleasure. I should thank you as well for helping me give a sound demonstration to my students. Unki beamed a great smile as she bowed again and bid adieu to the eager genin. “Teach me that too, sensei!” “I try that right now!”
Unki skipped away to move onto other forms of practice before setting out to find Toso. Maybe he’s done grocery shopping? OOC// more training below::
Something new. With wanting to polish up on her skills Unki took to the bookshelves to revisit the information of her scarcely found bloodline. With she unrolling of a scroll the girl tolls over the content already known and double checking content the content still out of her reach. An additional technique unearthed through the text, she read, allows her to create a sort of chakra “mode” to impart her elemental nature combined with a tint of her scorch chakra to maximize her elemental potential. [1 - 3]
Could she mask this ability onto a fireball and have fire plus scorch? Her concern was the same with what few wind techniques she currently knew. From the text, the girl discovered the process of obtaining and entering this mode begins through focusing one’s specific natured chakras to somehow merge. The concept of merging is, at least, how Unki could manage to comprehend what she had to do. She’d have to figure out how to command this on the fly. [2-3]
How much of her energy would have to be exerted to mesh two elements together? Would the combination be a dominance of wind, so to say, and the remainder her innate combined element of scorch? Questions continued to buzz about Unki’s thoughts. Certainly, she thought, this chakra mode has to be maintained. Perhaps the act of maintaining mode and exerting her specialized chakra is what provides the shakuton traits to her ninjutsu without the extra ounces of effort. [3 of 3] Learned Backdraft :: Rank B
There was a second version in the likeness of the wind plus shakuton technique: fire. The contents of the scroll essentially described a similar “how to”, however, with the need to embrace one’s fiery side. The same principles were described as before. It was high time that Unki should put this practice to the test. The girl would set the scroll down and angled for easy reference should she need it. [1 of 3]
Unki assumed a basic stance and brought her hands together to hold a seal. The concept was to grasp her concentration now, to get the feel of it, so that she might embrace the matter sooner .She spent the moment pouring her focus on concentrating her energy to her hands. Much of her bloodline seemed to manifest through her hands anyway. [2 of 3]
Until she’s able to feel the dual set of chakra working in tandem would she feel that she’s acquired this new ability. In her thoughts, the names and methods of each fire and wind technique were listed off one after another. Ultimately, there wasn’t much she could test this technique from aside from touch and a gut instinct. For a final good measure, Unki re-read the scroll to check if everything was feeling correct according to the text. So far so good. [3 of 3] Learned Heat Haze :: Rank B
Moving on to the last newly discovered shakuton item, Unki would begin by calming and dissipating the collection of chakra she focused in her hands. She needed pure shakuton chakra to accumulate in her hands. Similar to the “To Burn” technique, this new ability required direct contact however this tactic won’t be enough to cause burns. The heat in her hand was there, she could feel it herself despite the lack of apparent pain. A strong warmth. [1 of 1] Learned Atatameru [ To Heat ] Rank E
Her focus drifted from learning the tactics of her bloodline to the “building blocks” that make up her intense heat. Unki would deposit the Shakuton scroll back into its special place and move along the shelves to locate the fire based information. Her desired technique had ninja like Toso in mind. Ninja who are susceptible to fire, which are many, and could use the extra buffer from hot hits. [1 of 3]
The text enlightens Unki on a means to spread a certain level of resilience to a friend and herself. The process would start after, say, Unki works her chakra to lay itself as a visible coating. A coat, that seems to be the best means for her to wrap her head to help her start visualizing this process. She could practice the art on herself, which was the easy part, and didn’t need to directly expose her mistakes to anyone.[2 of 3]
Her chakra was visible, A glow manifesting in her palm and engulfing her hand. Unki follows through with an on-the-fly plan to touch her arm and wait for results to make themselves clear. A certain look and feel about the chakra had to be identified. In this state, her energy had a sort of calming vibe to it. The sensation, she th must be the counter to ordinary fiery attacks. [3 of 3] Learned:: Taika no Jutsu [ Fireproof Technique] Rank: C
Since she was still stuck in the nature, Unki continued to pursue more flaming tactics to add to her resources. She soothed and stopped the rampant race of chakra in her hands and arms before moving onto the next item. A fireball. Fireballs seemed like the go-to for fire based techniques and Unki was in need of knowing how to make one.[1 of 3]
The steps to performing this technique begins with hand seals, drawing chakra to one’s mouth, chest, and then quickly exhaling it. Essentially, a finely tuned fireball would be more than a flickering puff of hot air. Unki set the scroll aside and hopped away to find adequate space to practice. First and foremost, after acquiring the space, Unki did as the text instructed and collected her chakra in the designated spaces. Breathing was key here too, after all. She set her hand to cup around her mouth. [2 of 3]
Inhale exhale. A quick to try of the new jutsu only produced a meager puff of fire. Another, she told herself, and prepped for a second attempt: followed through with hand seals, inhaled, gathered chakra, and exhale forcefully. The result was a second flop, however, proved to be more fruitful with her practice. With her third attempt, Unki would redo all the steps and exhale. A larger puff of hot air came from her mouth. As she caught her breath Unki started to feel as if she had the hang of it, finally. [3 of 3] Learned :: Gōkakyū no Jutsu [ Great Fireball Technique ] Rank: C
With the great fireball technique learned, Unki wrapped up the scroll and moved on. She was also lacking in her knowledge of wind element and required knowledge of something considerably useful before she could leave (in other words, locate Toso). After she traded out her fire scroll for a wind scroll, Unki sat down to read over a technique which struck her fancy: Daitoppa. A large gust of wind with strong consequences on its targets, and the bonus, the air stream is flammable. [1 of 3]
Flammable properties seem to glow brightest to Unki as they typically seemed the most useful. Overall, the process of this ability sounded similar to the previous: bringing one’s hand to mouth, inhaling and exhaling a force of nature. The “consequences” of previous thought were more along the lines of setting things on fire and tossing sharp breezes to, perhaps, force an enemy to their knee. As before, Unki sets aside the scroll and tries the new technique. [2 of 3]
Inhale. Unki starts with taking a deep breath and forming the required seal. She felt better with this wind technique as the backbones of this move felt a lot like the preparation for a fireball. However, a longer stream of an exhale would be needed and luckily Unki would claim she says the lungs for it. Exhale! Unki managed to muster the desired stream which seemed to cause much distress to a straw dummy and created quite the mess.[3 of 3] Learned:: Daitoppa [ Great Breakthrough ] Rank: C

She nodded to her Raikage and didn't blush to his comment. She didn't believe his comment as she was just a plain girl. Nothing about her really stood out causing her any kind of pretty sense to others. She walked back into the academy looking around for a woman that matched the description that she had received. It didn't take her long before she spotted the woman with a blind fold covering her eyes. Licking her lips she moved over to the woman and spoke. Her angelic voice ringing out to the blind folded girl. "Are you Ms. Zyuna Hyuuga," She asked as she stood there fiddling with her hands in front of her. "If you are my name is Natsumi Himura and the Raikage assigned us to be on a two shinobi team. Apparently he has plans for us in the future." She said with a slight stutter behind her words as she looked away calming herself for a moment.
Redressing himself, the Paladin in training rolled up his scrolls and bowed to the two women "I will go and get that headband right away. Thank you for letting me know I missed that. Lady Ada" He said before he vanished in a dim flash of light
Making his way into the dojo, Hachiro finally had some time to reflect on himself. He could not simply rely on his mother’s gift of light to combat his enemies. He generated a clone in order to simulate an opponent. As his clone dashed forward for him, Hachiro feigned a strike, causing the clone to react by shifting its blade to its right. Using this opening, Hachiro thrust forward with a powerful right sided thrust, landing the attack on the clone’s open left torso. [ Axle of Rain: Learned]
Having been an illusion, the clone persisted. The clone back stepped, putting distance between Hachiro and himself. Using this opportunity, Hachiro would lower his blade’s tip low to the earth, channeling his chakra into the blade. The blade radiated with a hint of a bright glowing lightning that illuminated the area directly between them. With one motion, the blade’s edge flipped upward, uppercutting at the clone as Hachiro would move to the right in order to strike his blind spot. [ Rolling Rain: Learned]
As the clone attempted to recover from the luminous strike, it slashed at Hachiro, nearly clipping him. Hachiro raised his blade above his head, channeling his chakra once more. The exuberant lightning chakra sparked rapidly about the area, creating a mist of static charges that glowed brightly. This would serve as yet another distraction to draw the attention away from Hachiro to gain distance. [ Misting Rain: Learned]
Having his distance and the light distracting the clone, Hachiro dropped his blade just as the clone began to focus on his foe once more. Concentrated on the blade falling to the ground, the clone would not expect the next attack. Within an instant, Hachiro’s foot made a firm connection with the hilt’s tip. This swift powerful kick sent the blade flying towards the clone unexpectedly, leaving him open to the deadly chance attack. [ Last Minute Rain: Learned ]
The clone would somehow manage to evade the tip of the blade, sidestepping it just in time. As it passed the clone, the blade stuck itself into the earth. Dashing forward to retrieve his blade, Hachiro would need to pass directly by his foe. He kept his discerning eye fixed on the foe, anticipating his motion. As he passed the clone’s left, the blade of his foe fell directly down towards him.
In an act of pure reaction timing, he pointed his toes inward, allowing his body to pivot around the blade, leaving on centimeters between himself and the foe’s weapon. Having successfully performed this skill, he recovered his blade, returning to a readied stance. Somehow he knew he would not be able to indefinitely rely on the skill as it took more concentration that he would be able to muster continuously. [ May Wind, October Rain: Learned]
As his clone dashed toward him to attack once more, Hachiro would draw his blade back with his right hand far behind his body and seemingly launch the sword’s path with a powerful swing with one arm. Instinctively, the clone would block the strike. Just as the swords would clash, Hachiro released the grip from his sword. Normally, this would allow the blade to be stricken by the blade of the opponent, sending the blade away. However, Hachiro would rotate, grasping his blade’s hilt with the opposite hand that he had swung with before. The momentum of the shift in grips and the surprise would open an excellent counter attack, allowing Hachiro to swing at full strength from the opposite direction. [ Summer Rain: Learned ]
The clone attacked, swinging his blade downward in a diagonal direction. Hachiro’s hand had already switched to a reverse grip as the attack launched. Bright lightning chakra accumulated around the blade as the swords clashed. This chakra would overwhelm the basic strike, easily protecting the boy from the clone’s attack. [ Splashing Rain: Learned]
Having gained control over so much of his own sword style’s forms already, Hachiro would take a moment to reflect. He sat in a cross legged position, meditating on his skills costs. Each of his skills required him utilizing elemental chakra, costing him in both physical power and spiritual.
His elemental attacks had been essential to utilizing the style. Each attack took on elemental chakra and worked in seamlessly. Without utilizing a great deal of chakra in each attack, the boy would most likely have generated a lackluster strike, failing to use the Shirgure Souen style.
Inhaling deeply, he focused on what needed done. Each strike’s cost would require more of himself as he progressed in the style. Hachiro needed to draw from chakra constantly when fighting. For this he would need training.
His meditation continued, allowing him to tap into deeper reserves of chakra. Hachiro’s chakra pool deepening would allow him to easily slash away with each unique technique of the Shigure Souen. His skills were flawless when executed with this newfound reserve of chakra. He had deepened his understanding of his own chakra as well as his style. [Blessed Rain: Learned][ Gained 35 Chakra ]
Satisfied with the level of training he had done with his sword skills, Hachiro sheathed the katana and moved on to ninjutsu training. Hachiro dismissed the clone, raising his hand over his head, slamming it into the ground and transmitting some of his raiton chakra into the earth. A light shone at the location his clone had just been dismissed from, illuminating the foe even in the darkest corridors. [ Telegram Flash: Learned ]
Moving on, Hachiro began to practice his next raiton ability that tied in so well with his Katon bloodline. He channeled chakra through out his body, causing his skin to shine brightly. This would be used for codes or potentially blinding an enemy as the light could be intensified by chakra. [ Flickering Light Technique: Learned ]
Continuing, Hachiro strung together his dog and tiger hand sign. This chakra molding method would signify the creation of the Lightning Clone. The lightning clone was an exact copy of Hachiro. This clone however flickered with raiton chakra, signifying it would burst into a shocking offense if destroyed. [ Lightning Clone Technique: Learned]
Next, Hachiro formed a single hand sign. This caused the boy’s fingertips to glow with raiton chakra. He then whipped his hand to the side, creating a string attached to each finger tip. Each of these static strings would be able to provide subtle electrical shocks to a foe which would be barely visible to the naked eye. [ Static Strings Technique: Learned ]
With his mastery of the basic Raiton techniques that one could learn, Hachiro felt as though his natural resistance had been amplified. Hachiro took note that he no longer felt the minor shocks that accompanied his telegram flash, causing the slight numbing of skin. Now he could advance to use more complex techniques without reserve.
