Mizuki laughed rather tauntingly. "Mmmm that so~" Seemed she was content for the moment to allow Kaneo a little extra suffering. Still she approached him and held up her hands over his chest cavity. Use of the diagnosis technique revealed much of what she expected was going on. More busted ribs, seemed like it was contagious with how many cases she'd seen lately. Suddenly green light appeared under her palms as the kunoichi channeled chakra to the area. That light would slowly but surely begin to heal Kaneo's injuries. It wouldn't be as fast as he'd like as Mizuki didn't have any calcium supplements or a skill dedicated to healing. Still it would eventually restore him to health. When it was all over she'd cease the chakra flow and step away for a moment. [3/3] [Advanced Performance]
As Mizuki looked around the tower she began to wonder who all was present. While her natural sixth sense for chakra had grown stronger as of late, it still didn't reach out all that far. Perhaps she could do something to boost the range of it? [1/3] Focusing on her sixth sense, she looked to isolate it within her mind's eye. When that was accomplished she began to flood the place with chakra. It acted like supercharging a motor. [2/3] Suddenly her awareness of chakra signatures expanded out over kilometers rather than yards. Some of them were familiar to her. Most of them were not. With this in mind she focused on the one's she knew. For example she could sense Shiro and Toso were in the area. [3/3] [Kagura's Mind's Eye] [Advanced Performance]

The twins nodded in confirmation to the rogue. Hino and Oro did the same, and the former took the communicator and handed it to Jay. Jay placed the communicator into his ear, and they waited to speak until Atsuko and his lizard left the room. Masks came off, and the group looked between each other. "Jay, I want you to handle intergroup communications should they arise, Jeon, for intents and purposes of training in the field I'm going to be letting you take point on this operation. I'd like to see how well you lead the group. Objections?" the squad shook their heads and Jeon nodded with a smile. "Right, well then um, I suppose Jay and I have some things to get in order. Rendezvous at the gates in 48 hours." With that, the group exited via the secret entrances to the village's underground. When they emerged, it was from another secret entrance in a building across the street where they were back in civilian clothes. They needed to do some training before they could set out again.
[Notice of use of 10 autolearns from Tgiving: Shinto Muso Ryo: Deflect Wrap One with the Chain Throw Sew Parry Ball and Chain Minor Control Burrowing Sickle Pivot]
The twins took the scroll on the ball and chain method and got back to their studies. The first skill up involved flipping the body and using their foot to slam down the sickle with increased power. The added strength and speed would be potentially devastating on an unsuspecting opponent. [Flip]
For the next skill, the twins noted it was particularly dangerous to those using an evasive skill. A lateral chop intended to cause an opponent to dodge was part one, while spinning the weighted end. Following that, a loosed weight attack would be sent while they are potentially off balance and out of sorts. [Slice and Smash]
Taking a step more towards what was simple, the next skill was simply an attack with different effects. For the scythe end it would simply cause a wrap and lodging attempt for the blade. For the weight, ti would inted to slam the face of the target. Simplicity, often, was key. [Smash]
Grappling Hook was another easy one to wrap one's head around. The scythe could be used as one, you see, by having it be thrown and latched into a surface. From there the user is free to pull themselves up to whatever it was and avoid conflict. Conversely it can be pulled tight for someone to walk upon. The twins could think of a few uses for that. [Grappling Hook]
The last skill in the stage was one that was intensive upon the user distracting and capitalizing like one from above. After throwing the sickle or weight into the air while channeling chakram, the user will attack with the other one. At any time this chakra can slam the weapon down from above the target to attack with it. [Hey! Over there!]
The next skill was a training session that the twins got up. They practiced basic control with a ball and chain for a little while, seeing how far they could manipulate the chains. At the moment they couldn't quite force a 90 degree change but they could force the weapon to weave in the air so long as it was still in mid flight. This would prove useful, especially for attacking at a distance. [Major Control]
This training also had them trying to predict the more erratic chain movements and react where necessary to stay in control. Without thinking too much about it, the twins were increasing their speed and reflexes accordingly, and become more dangerous in general as a result. It would be a boon in combat for them to be faster and more reactive, so this was another good practice to handle. [Quick Step]
For the last skill, more chakra would be necessary. In this situation the chakra created more chakra based chains that would be able to confuse the opponent into thinking they're all real. The chains would last for a whole post after the first one where they were created to keep the rouse going. [Illusory Shackles]
Following this was two more skills in a yet higher tier. The first skill was the user spinning the chains fast enough to make a tornado of steel around them to deflect up to b level ninjutsu skills and large projectiles. Presumably a person would not want to be caught up when this skill started to go either or risk wounds. It wasn't so different from the Turbulence skill from mori no Ichigeki. [Whirlwind]
The final skill they could learn infused chakra with the handle of the weapon. In a move that felt a bit out of place, the user would fire a line of chakra out from their weapon intending to slice through whatever was hit. The twins shrugged and grabbed a different scroll with not further comment about how out of place it was. [Violent Slice]
The next style learned would be the Sobagai Deba Sentou, a style almost entirely centered around increasing the user's ability to deal with opponents fast after opening up weaknesses. The first skill was intended to simply repel an enemy attack straight up into the air with a slash, and was a fairly speed oriented motion. [Upward Repel]
The second skill was a complex one, one that allows the user to stab with a blut end of the small weapons. After hitting, the skill winds a target if correctly landed. Following that, the poor target would loose an activation on their next post. [Assisted Jab]
For the next skill, the twins practiced swinging their weapons in the lateral, basic directions. The intent was to learn to swing the weapons as fast as humanly possible while retaining strength and accuracy. As a result, the duo ended up faster with their weaponplay. [Knife Stances]
On the same coin, the duo began messing around together like the south Korean military, swinging weapons and deflecting them as fast as they could without stopping and safely. The two were already quick on their feet, and this reflexive training on built on the fundamentals. As a result they sharpened those reflexes yet again. [Simple Play]
On to the second level of techs, the first was a quick one meant to disorient. After an attack is upwardly parried theyd be tossing the weapon into the air. They'd then skirt around the target and into an opening they'd catch the knife and go in again. This skill would be dangerous in that the second skill would be just barely stronger as a result. [Back Repel]
Next up, the skill involved the twins switching their weapon from one hand to the other during their attacks, increasing the speed of the associated attacks. If they kept it up, this could be extremely hard to keep up with if they were already faster than a target. If not, it would keep their opponent honestly occupied with it. [Change of Hands]
After that the next skill was a simple combination of horizontal attacks. Or so it would seem, as the skill could be used with the above to add a layer of confusion to the target, That wasn't it though, as the skill was intended to flip and toss the knife into the opponents leg in order to slow them down and deal damage to their stability. [Kneecap Surprise.]
As could easily be assumed would come up, this skill intended to throw a dagger. However, it wasn't a simple toss, as this skill used chakra to allow the blade to pierce the air itself and lower the weapon's noise as it cut it's way to it's target. If one's ears weren't tuned higher than the normal human it'd likely go completely unheard. [Swift Dart]
Learning to throw and juggle knives by the hilts was a skill highly worth learning for the style of fighting they were absorbing. It wasn't quite as difficult to learn as they were thinking. As a matter of fact, the twins got better at juggling knives and gained the reflex needed to do so from it. [Trick Style Knife Toss]
For the intents and purposes of the next skill, it was another fairly simple grouping thing to learn. They practiced drawing their blades as quickly and accurately as they could for a little while, swinging it out, then putting it back. Swing out, put back. Swing out, put back. It was grating to a fault but at the end of the training, the two of them were faster for it. [Artless Draw]
Who kicks a knife? It was odd enough a skill that the twins were off put by it but they didn't write it off. One day they'd only survive a fight because they were kicked a knife. That day, they would both become religious. Mark this post! [Knife Punt]
[REST OF STYLE LEARNED FROM TEN MORE FREE AUTO LEARNS: Dirty Reflection, Vital Poke, Two fer One, What Defense, Tingling Elbow, Retreating Feet, Blade's Edge, Oopsie and Over, Severe Acupuncture, Stepless]
Back to polearm stuff, the first skill was another training they were going to endure. There was a heavy load associated with the mori no ichigeki style that meant it's difficult at all times to manage both stamina and chakra levels. After a bit of focus with either of those, the twins found themselves able to reduce the overall load of chakra needed for those skills. [Chakra: Solidification.]
For the next skill, chakra was actually involved. As they read, they gleaned the need for this skill was mostly defensive, and they could respect that honestly. Jay and Jeon both could find a use for making a wall of charka ahead of their spear. If they were hounding a target using ninjutsu, this skill could probably keep them and people behind them safe from harm. [Jousting]
Following this skill was one that the twins found very interesting. Their chakra was intensive for this one to go over well, as it'd be literally taking a physical form beside them. Either one of them could be reached out and grabbed. More importantly, these staves could be used to buffer attacks they are already using. [Twins]
For the blade of the polearm they were using, the shape of it's blade is capable of some limited vectors for attack. The skill that was next up was geared towards fixing that issue. Chakra taking this shape can be held for a while actually, and then remains usual. [Blade Form]
The next skill was up there in the complex tree, requiring a mixture of stamina and chakra to use. With a direct swing of the weapon, chakra can be forced out in a wave. The name of the skill was hella good, as it could indeed force someone to [Halt.]
For the next technique, the twins even had to take a step away and realize how nefarious this one was. It was a simple stab and boom style attack. They had another skill that was similar, but this one was far more than just that one. It would blow apart an opponent in a centralized way rather than in a more spread out one. [Vladimir]
Following this was one last skill from the style, this one actually was a stance. If they were in this stance, they were essentially dragoons. They could jump pretty high before coming down and crushing the opponent with increasing strength or knock something out of the sky with increased strength. The controller of the characters got brought back to dragoon's in axiom. [Stance of Flight]
Back to Doki Yari, the next skill from where they left off was one that the two of them could really get behind. With a strong grip on the weapon itself, they would have to take aim and throw it. It would go straight through same rank defenses, but they would have to get it back eventually. [Lancer]
The follow up was a skill that was far more defensive than it was meant to harm, even if it could easily snap an arm bone. With a quick downward swing over the opponent's arm, this skill could knock a weapon out of someone's arm and send it spiraling into the ground. It'd be a nice defense... if it worked out. [Disarming Strike]
There was a moment where, immediately, the twins hated how this style was written. Apparently the next skill invovled hitting someone in the chest to knock them prone then slamming the half of the weapon into the side of their head? Following that the duo would watch them reel to the ground even though they were already prone? Whatever. [Deafening Strike]
A twist on the Lancer tech, Dragon Twister began with another through, they read. As it flew, the skill would spin like a dril instead of flying like a battering ram. Armor techs were nothing against the chakra based assault. [Dragon Twister]
The final skill looked incredibly fun to use actually. For somereason the twins kept learning defensive skills that involved them spinning in a circle in some way and making a tornado around them. This one, however, was not as strong as some of the others as their chakra nature was not factored in. [Parrying Death]
The next skill was one that would help them close the distance towards an opponent while at the same time providing a boost to their next skill. As the moved they'd whirl their weapon about, crushing anything standing in their way so long as they are using the skill. At the end, their next attack would enjoy higher strength from the momentum. [Spiral Out]

Artemis made her way down from the roof at Atsuko's call to reconnect. She wasn't sure how the meeting went but it took a long time to finish. She'd already napped and trained her full. She was eager to walk to the entrance of the dojo, where Atsuko and Houou were. She raised a brow at them both, though it was hard to tell because of her mask. "Ready to get to work, boys?"

___Kaneo gave his closest friend the most angry look he could manage, which wasn't very. He also gasped for air as his breathing returned to normal. Hand brushing against the one that brought him relief. "Thank you, Zuki-chan." He said as he rolled over onto his a** and spread his arms out behind him to lean back a little. "It's rather dull around here, huh?" He thought on that for a moment, and honestly had to agree. "I agree. I mean, I'll take it over being a dirty street kid, but I thought I'd get laid more being a shinobi." He knew that wasn't what she meant, but he had to go there. Mainly because she wouldn't see him go unsatisfied. "On a serious note, yeah, we've done what? Trained and gone on that disaster of a mission? And everyone's still running around like chickens with their heads cut off."

Atsuko had very minor visual reaction to the wooden dragon that crawled on him, watching it with baited breath. If it had been a trap he was likely already dead, but his own pet Asumo seemed to hiss at the thing with distaste for the imitation. Of course it was their resident wood manipulator which Atsuko picked out within a few moments of the mask returning to a non living, non roaring entity.
"Yes. We head out now, to the moderate bar. I'll fill you both in on the way" Atsuko said shortly, waving Houou over. Once the group was assembled they'd exit the area, intent on their destination. ________________________________________________________________ ◆￤ CHAKRAx 625 / 625x◆￤ STAMINAx 430 / 430x◆￤ RYOx 2575x◆￤ ACx 10750 ◆￤ TAMER / NINJUTSU x◆￤ C-RANK ROGUEx◆￤ SHISHINx◆￤ UCHIHA x◆￤ DRAGONxxxxx

With Classes officially dismissed now Toso would let loose a sigh. Only to now see the trail of ink he left behind from the debriefing room to the classroom. Ah, what a bother. Well if anything was apparent he'd have another mess to clean. But for now Toso would sit down in the teachers chairs and produce another exhale. Teaching was certainly something that was for certain. It sharpened his outlooks on the basics and for the most part reminded him there was still much he could do to better himself. For now however, he would see a scroll that caught his eye. Yes, a confirmation of his earlier assumptions in the hospital there was indeed a style dedicated to chopsticks. Bloop.

unbeknownst to the others, houou laughed silently to himself while quickly walked over to meet with Artemis and Atsuko. Houou couldn’t get enough of pranking his friends, even though he should carry himself in a more professional manner. However houou has not a care in the world for the opinions of others. He spent too many years, locked away, it was no time for him to enjoy his remaining time on this world.
He needed not say anything to the two before him. Atsuko made it clear that they were off on important business and would fill them in at a later time. Instead, houou gave a slight bow to them both, indicating he was ready to depart.

~Current Theme Music~:Buoyant Boogie- Splatoon 2 Closing the scroll Toso would scan the room. It certainly was empty in here. Suffice to say empty enough that one could train in solitude. For example train physically without prying eyes concerning themselves with his well being. He had of course grown restless in recovery and reading up on techniques made him all the more riled up, and while it may have been against his doctors orders he couldn't help but notice the single training target in the room used for pinpointing key points on the body to target.
With almost a rickety stance in where he almost fell getting up from the chair like some form of old man Toso would approach the dummy and unzip his coat and placed it on the teaching desk, then taking a deep inhale he'd stare down the dummy. He enjoyed quiet, but he detested sitting still, as most people with a wanderlust would, something rang inside his head. The voice of the man whom had caused him such grief. Toso wasn't one to get angry, nor was he one to loose his temper but recalling the face of his tormentor caused a flame to rise inside of him not unlike that of when he faced his father in combat, only rather than rivalry it was contempt.
Toso almost like that of a gentle fist user flattened his hands and slowly in a progressive manner would begin striking the indicated weak points on the target. It started out slow, well paced, but then as he continued brief flashes of what was done to him, his pace increased, more memories flooded in, the wood was starting to break partially, then he recalled the brutal removal of not his own but the limbs of one of his clansmen. The pace and strikes grew heavier, and heavier still. However, as adrenaline fueled Toso's strikes he was becoming more and more unaware, that the bandages that covered his back were starting to turn shades of red. Creating small pools likely to get larger. His haphazard behavior causing wounds to re-open. But one thing Toso was holding firm to. He had to get stronger, so what happened then would never happen again. Not to him or anyone else, and though he seemed fueled by contempt his face remained as empty and rock faced as it has always been. Something would change inside of the Squid. He would no longer simply wear the title of squid, he would have to become the true definition of warrior...especially if what that man had said...'the final offense' held any ground that soon there would be chaos upon their borders. 3/3 [Target Practice]

__ Once Kenshin grabbed a few scrolls he decided he would start training as he waited for the Raikage to become available.
Ten free Thanksgiving training posts used on: N/A
First, he opened his Hyuuga technique scroll and figured he might be strong enough now after numerous policing missions to learn the high ranked techniques. He started by reading all of the details of the One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms. Then he put the scroll on the floor near the dummy, stretched, and practiced the formations.
Kenshin was immensely gifted when he came to the gentle fist so it was easy for him to grasp even this incredibly complex technique. He started by thrusting out a series of jabs. Eventually, he performed seven jabs that would be able to block up an incredible amount of chakra points. He did all of this meditatively.
LEARNED: Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō [ Eight Trigrams: One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms ] | Rank A (-6 post reduction from Bloodline class specialization at B-Rank and -2 post reduction from location) Intermediate Meditation Training Pt. 1 (2/4)
After mastering that technique in record time he looked through his scroll and started reading about the Mountain Crusher technique. This incredibly powerful and simple technique was well within his reach. "I can't wait to use this on a runaway perp." He thought with a sense of pleasure as he practiced the stances.
He began by focusing as much chakra as he could into his right hand. He extended his arm outwards towards the dummy as he breathed and focused his energy. He then reeled his hand back and thrust a mountain crusher palm directly into the target. Now that technique was mastered. He did all of this meditatively.

He read through his scroll he focused intently on the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists. "Lions of justice." Kenshin thought as he read through the technique in great detail. Once again, he got into formation and held his hands out.
He meditated and focused chakra into his fists. Lion faces made of chakra began forming over his hands. Immediately he began forcing his lion fists into the puppet before him.
LEARNED: Jūho Sōshiken [ Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists ] | Rank A (-6 post reduction from Bloodline class specialization at B-Rank and -2 post reduction from location) Intermediate Meditation Training Pt. 2 (2/4)
Kenshin then looked down and saw that he needed to learn his final Hyuuga technique. Mastery of his clan's power was now within his grasp. He read the technique's description in detail and focused on his stance.
He meditated and waved his hands around as he focused with incredible intensity. His chakra focused on his hands as he performed the sixty-four palms as he usually would. Suddenly, he noticed that each attack projected outward. "I did it." He thought as he let out a gasp and finished his technique.
Kenshin was now a master of the Hyuga clan techniques and the gentle fist and yet he felt poison in his accomplishment. He was not a true member of the clan because his father was banished from the main branch for going rogue. As a result, Kenshin could not carry on his name and has no true ties to the Hyuga clan in Kumogakure. His humiliation overwhelmed him when his father's parents allowed Kenshin to enter the village but forbade him to live with them and carry their name of Hyuga. As a result, he chose the family name of Kosei, righteousness.
LEARNED: Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō [ Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms ] | Rank S (-6 post reduction from Bloodline class specialization at B-Rank and -4 post reduction from location) Intermediate Meditation Training Pt. 2 (4/4)
Kenshin then received word that he was being called into headquarters for further interrogations.
_______________ ≎Out Of Context≎ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXIT
Chloe blew in through the dojo doors like a bat outta hell, or maybe more accurate, like a girl riding an almost two ton bear. She hadn't caught hide nor hair of Zahara during their race so she assumed that Bella must have smoked him with her superior speed. A smile broke out on her face as she imagined the look on his sorry face when he finally made it here. Using her armor technique to a more advanced degree, Chloe covered all but her head in her metal.
Cracking her knuckles Chloe figured it was time to get some real work done. Starting off simple Chloe made a balled up fist with her hand and practiced her straight thrown jabs. It was simple at first and with time she would work on the speed of her thrusts until she felt she reached her maximum potential at this level anyway. [1/1] Front Jab Learned.
Keeping up with her momentum Chloe throw another jab only this time with the back of her hand striking the dummy. Of course she made sure to only strike with the knuckles in a flicking motion since like most people she knew she didn't have any muscle on her hand. [1/1] Back Punch Learned.
The next technique was a little awkward since there wasn't a real enemy she could test it on, but thankfully the dummy had legs so Chloe figured she could manage. Continuing with the momentum of her jab attacks, Chloe ducked under what would be her opponents guard. Reaching down to grab their front leg, Chloe would lift them over her head and smash the dummy down into the ground on the other side of her. [1/1] Foot Sweep Learned.
The final technique in her stage training had her mostly just practicing her stabilizing. A useful trait to have for when a larger opponent who tired to knock her down with the pure strength of her attacks. Hopefully with this training her strength in her blocks would increase. [1/1] Iron Umph Learned.
Moving onto the next stage Chloe stepped around encircling the dummy who she was visualizing as her enemy. At the end of the step she would throw a hard elbow to hit her foe. Ideally this technique could also be used as a form of block or to deflect projectiles, though she figured if it really came to that then she could rely on her armor. [1/1] Horizontal Elbow Learned.
Using the same method as the last technique Chloe flowed it up with a elbow jab except this time in a vertical motion. Because of bloodline technique was acting as her armor the moment she struck the dummies chin the whole thing flew up into the air. Huh I guess it's a lot more powerful when used with armor. Thaaaat would probably make sense considering this style is meant to be used with armor.[1/1] Vertical Elbow Learned.
Pretending her opponent was a sword wielder Chloe ran at him in her mind. Using the last possible second to burst to the side and strike the sword wielding hand with her elbow. Allowing the sword to fall and catch it with her off hand. Bringing it into a combo with a back fist to knock them back and away from her, Chloe used a leg sweep and held their sword over them. [1/1] Disarming Foot Sweep Learned.
For the final technique in her stage two. Chloe Just needed to train up her fortitude. Well there was only one thing she could really think of to get the going. Walking over to the wall Chloe smashed her head against the stone slabs. Feeling blood dribble down her forehead Chloe kept on until she felt herself getting dizzy. [1/1] Iron resiliency Learned.
Deciding that that it would be good for her to trained up her fortitude even more Chloe started doing pull ups while still in her metal armor. The extra weight easily providing a challenge for her physically. [1/1] Hard physical Learned D rank.
Before getting further into her styles Chloe figured it was time to get more on the up and up on her basics. The first of her training was to bring her physical meatiness up. Continuing with her smashing of her head against the wall Chloe did everything she could to tougher herself up. After all she couldn't just rely on her metal all of the time. [1/2]
Next she simply preformed push ups until the edges of her knuckles turned white. She could feel the blood rushing to her head and her breathe getting heavy. Whatever it took she had to try and push herself as far as she could go. Plus it never hurt to be as fit as you possible can be. [2/2] Hard physical learned C Rank
Now came the real challenge as Chloe ran through all of her easy training exercises. Taking a step back from the wall Chloe ran full force as hard as she possible could. Slamming into he wall with such force that the whole thing shook. Of course any normal person probably would have knocked themselves out, but thanks to her metal Chloe only brushed it off. [1/4]
If there was anything that she knew about herself it was that it was going to take a lot more punishment before Chloe started falter. ?using the power of her own strength to her advantage Chloe began repeatedly punching herself in the chest. The sound of metal on metal clacked throughout the entire dojo as Chloe furiously pounded herself, each hit nearly taking her to her knees. [2/4]
Chloe could start to feel the results of her training beginning to take hold. It would only take a few more exercises before she was fully ready. Stacking up a large pile of cinder blocks Chloe removed the metal from just her fingers and began pounding the cold stone with her hands as she had seen others before before. The bones felt like they would crack under the pressure and indeed were already bleeding, but Chloe kept at it. She would see the results of her training before this was through. [3/4]
Nearly there as Chloe had now spent hours upon hours of practically torturing herself to get stronger. Standing up from her momentary break Chloe decided it would be best to finish with simple pull ups. A cool crisp five hundred pull ups that it is. By the end of it Chloe was starting to curse herself, but was sort of glad that she did. It may have been hard and she had no idea what she was even doing it for, but god damn if it didn't feel rewarding. [4/4] Hard Physical B Ranked Learned.
With her strength training finished Chloe moved onto her soft physical training with some nice easy stretches. She wasn't exactly the most flexible and this was an easy way for her to loosen up her body and prepare her reflexes for some of the more flowing taijutsu styles that she had in mind to learn. [1/1] Soft physical C Rank Learned.
Chloe moved onto her fluidity or rather her actual dodging ability. With this she began running around the track that they had outside. It was rigorous running around in a big old metal skin suit but Chloe needed to be able to dodge while wearing her metal suit or what was the point? [1/4]
Next on her list was a simple ninja training technique where the user would jump across pillars of wood that were set about six feet off of the ground. Of course nothing Chloe was worried about if she actually fell but of course that wasn't the point. Her agility needed to be at it's utmost peak to be able to stand on par with those from other villages. [2/4]
Finishing up her previous training Chloe figures it was best to practice her sprinting abilities over a short distance. Marking a line at her feet and a few paces away Chloe began timing how long it took her to cross the distance, eventually hoping to complete it in the shortest time possible. [3/4]
The final practice Chloe absolutely dreaded just from how girly it made her look, but she couldn't think of anything else. Backing up to make as much space as possible. Chloe took a running start and started to preform back flips. Of course the first few ended up with her landing on her butt, but that was besides the point. If she could become a master at something as simple as this while wearing metal Chloe figured that she could do anything. [4/4] Soft psychical B Rank Learned.
Feeling the rush of energy flowing through her body Chloe forced herself to keep going before her high dropped down to nothing. Rushing forward with all her newfound power Chloe leaped through the air and jabbed her knee right into the training dummies face. The smash becoming even more powerful because of her armor. [1/1] Straight Knee Learned.
Continuing further with her tai style Chloe once again preformed the straight knee that she had just learned except with a unique twist. As she reached the dummy Chloe purposely missed, stopping just short of the face from her knee. This was to recreate the opponent dodging her technique. Using this moment Chloe extended her leg leg mid air and made contact with dummy's head. [1/1] Round Knee/Round Kick Learned.
Once more preforming a knee strike Chloe made sure to hit the dummy but at the end of the technique she flung herself at the dummy and wrapped herself around it's torso. Straightening out her back, Chloe forced the dummy to feel back with her as she flipped the whole dummy over her head and onto the hard ground behind her causing a wreck. [1/1] Suplex Take-down Learned.
Moving onto a nearby brick wall Chloe intended to practice her striking power. Her fists each pounded and chipped away slowly at the stone edifice until it at least crumbled before her superior power. It wasn't a hard thing to do by any means but Chloe had to thank her metal that still covered her hands or she was sure that she would be bleeding profusely. [1/1] Iron Disciple Learned.
Here in her final stage that she could learn it seemed that her previous training in her basic style would come in handy. As she fell into her relaxed state Chloe visualized her opponent coming at her in a single rush. Raising her arm in a straight line Chloe ran back at the dummy intending to close line it. Striking the head of the dummy Chloe brought it down onto he ground where she finished the poor object with a stomp. [1/2]
The strength of the technique was without a doubt incredibly powerful but since this style specialized in both in armor and out of armor fight Chloe thought ti would be best to re-preform the technique while not in her armor. Again using the close line Chloe found her speed obviously increased thanks to not being weighted down by her own bloodline though it seemed more a trade off since it lost it's power as well. [2/2] Ridge Hand Strike Learned.
For the next technique Chloe would just have to pretend that an enemy was there since a dummy would not be able to strike at her. Pretending to dodge a sword swing at her head Chloe ducked and moved out to the side. Using her position to build up tension and power for the counter attack. [1/2] With all of that built up strength Chloe jumped up through the air like a spring being unleashed. Popping her imaginary enemy with a uppercut that was designed to not only deal damage, but to knock the focus right out of them. Preventing them from using any stances for a period of time. [2/2] Blast Uppercut Learned.
The next technique in her list was more of passive ability that would apply to all of her take down throws. Meant of disarming enemies that are wielding medium or small weapons. Since it was such an easy maneuver that was meant to be applied in general Chloe would spend time just practicing her take downs. [1/2] Taking the dummy by it's makeshift arm Chloe heaved and lifted it over her shoulder by what would have been the dominant hand for using a sword for most people. Slamming the dummy on the other side of her, Chloe could feel the wooden wrist snap making her wonder how effective ti would be if used on human bones. [2/2] Hip/shoulder throw disarm Learned.
For the final technique in the style that she could learn, Chloe took the dummy whose arm she had just broken and made sure to stand him up right. Taking a sumo like position in front of the dummy Chloe grabbed a hold of it's neck. Swinging it around viciously as she straggled the dummy, Chloe even landed continuous blows into it's gut. [1/2] The whole move wasn't meant to last very long, but Chloe only used it as practice to test her stamina levels. continually raining down punches into the dummy before she finished by swinging it into an overhead take down maneuver that seemed to be common in this tai style. [2/2] Iron Cinch Learned.
Continuing on with her training Chloe moved onto her next style seeing as she took her last one as far as she could for now. Considering that she would be using her metal armor for most of her battles it would be prudent for her to practice with other forms that specialized in it. Covering herself in her black steel Chloe started out by simply walking around and preforming normal activities. Everything from stretching to running to general combat movements. [1/1] Junka [ Acclimation ] Learned.
For the next technique Chloe didn't have someone to attack her so practicing it in her mind was going to have to do. Thankfully it wasn't overtly complicated so it shouldn't be too hard. Planting her feet in the ground at the moment that an attack would have struck her, Chloe leaned into it and braced herself in her armor. Using this style she would be able to survive anything that should come her way, or at the very least be able to reduce it's strength. [1/1] Gamankurabe [ Endurance Contest ] Learned.
The next technique in the last was just as simple as the first two. Bending her legs at the knee so that she was in a crouching position. If she preformed it correctly then Chloe would tackle her opponent and upset their balance. Of course the technique would be a lot more powerful the stronger she got. [1/1] Tokkumukoto [ Tackling ] Learned.
Next up was a simple but pretty powerful defensive technique. As an attack would be coming in to strike Chloe, she would throw up her hands in a defensive stance. She learned from a pretty young age never to block her own sight off, she figured that this would be okay enough for her to use. Especially considering it would prevent a foe from using any increased strength. [1/1] Kabe [ Wall ] Learned.
The next technique in her style was yet another simple one. Using the properties of the weight of her armor, Chloe would crush anything underneath her in a stomp. Of course this would be magnificent with her black steel already being heavier than every other metal and the likely hood of anything surviving from her would be minimal. [1/1] Touha [ Crushing Underfoot ] Learned.
For the final technique in the stage Chloe would utilize a grapple and the power of her heavy armored body to outweigh the opponent and pulled them into a grapple. Taking both of her arms in a pincer motion, Chloe would grapple the dummy and use her training to her advantage in keeping them under wraps. [1/1] Kabuto Washitsukami [ Beetle Grabbing Hold ] Learned.
For the next stage Chloe donned her armor once more and began walking around or otherwise preforming her usual actives over mud. The slippery surface made it much more challenging to hold her increased weight up and that wasn't even taking into consideration for when she might have to fight over this stuff. It didn't take her long though before Chloe was able to shift her weight in the right areas during certain movements. The result was her being able to stand on nearly every slippery surface that she tested herself with. [1/1] Tenshin [ Shifting Position ] Learned.
Next up Chloe formed her metal hand into a fist. The idea? Simple she would use it as a wrecking ball of sorts and knock her enemies flat. The method that was used in her training would be much more damaging to objects than people however. [1/1] Tonkachi [ Hammer ] Learned.
The final technique in this style was more than easy enough for her to handle. All she really had to do was jump high into the air. With her metal clad body stomping into the earth as she landed. Everything within a meter radius cracked and shattered underneath her. Sort of like a big brother version to crushing underfoot. [1/1] Rikusentai [ Landing Force ] Learned.
For the final stage that Chloe would be able to learn, she found that she was going to have to try much harder as it went beyond simple physical prowess now. Using her chakra network Chloe attempted to tap into her innermost being and charge her right foot with it. [1/4] The first result didn't go so well and even through all her efforts combined, she was still barely able to make a glow around her leg. That wouldn't do at all, if she could barely manage a glow than how was she to disperse ninjutsu with it? [2/4] Summoning the rest of her strength Chloe tried to force the chakra to flow through to her leg again. It felt like nothing she had ever attempted before. At least when she preformed her bloodline techniques they always felt so natural, like she didn't even need to try for the chakra to connect and form a network over her body. [3/4] In one massive effort Chloe pulled from the deepest reaches of her soul, where she felt the reserves of tiny chakra pool. Taking fro this pure pond of energy she run it through just the metal of her leg and reformed a kick. The chakra radiated off her foot rang in success. [4/4] Akuto [ Heel ] Learned.
With that Chloe come to the final technique in the final stage that she was able to learn. She knew it was going to be a difficult one since it too dealt with manipulating her chakra pool. [1/4] Instead of what she did in the last technique, Chloe would have to form a layer of chakra over the actual metal itself. Taking her time by slowly stitching a network of chakra over her body she set off to work. [2/4] It certainly took some effort but Chloe was able to completely place an extension of her chakra network over her body. She could feel her armor hum with the faintest of power and Chloe smiled at her efforts. [3/4] Now came the tricky part. Chloe would have to actually manipulate the chakra on the outside of her body into the form of a spike. Yes it was a basic shape and and shouldn't give her too much trouble, but hey? she was meant to be a bruiser not some magic wielding wizard. Eventually Chloe was able to push the chakra into a solid extension around herself. The result was now a walking suit of black steel and spikes. [4/4] Tsunokabuto [ Spiked Helmet ] Learned.
It might have taken awhile but even the mighty Chloe isn't infallible. Her ragged breathing starting to catch up to her, she took a seat while she read through the next style. as her eyes grazed over the sheet she could already tell she was going ot hate training in it just from all of the complex technique in it. As a matter of fact every single move in the style was of the complex variety. With an inward groan Chloe continued on with her training. Taking waht she learned from the least style Chloe drew from her chakra pool at the exact moment of her dodge. The result was a partial after image in place of where she stood not a few seconds ago. [1/1] Sidestep Learned.
With the same idea in mind Chloe once more flooded her body with chakra at the exact moment of her punch. As she struck, her chakra took on a life of it's own and peeled off of her body into another arm. One that would preform the same strike a few seconds later. [1/1] Ghost Strike Learned.
Building up her chakra for the next technique Chloe coated her entire body in it, very much in the same way as she had with her iron spikes. [1/2] Once she felt that she had enough of a coating, she began moving. Not in the normal sense at all however, as the moment she began moving the chakra that was loosely attached to her body split off. Taking the form of a clone of herself that would split in a different way from the real Chloe. [2/2] Radial Split Learned.
Finished with her second stage style Chloe felt as though she might be getting some of her wind back. As in the previous technique Chloe coated her entire body in chakra until she achieved the some loose effect that she did with her after images. [1/3] As she began to move through the area the chakra would peel off in that same exact way it had before only this time instead of straying from Chloe as a distraction, it would instead follow closely behind her. [2/3] With everything set and her chakra clone completed Chloe practiced her taijutsu as she puppet ed the one just a few inches behind her. The clone of course didn't have to be a full one her, but Chloe found the most use practice wise this way. [3/3] Multistrike Learned.
The next technique was an interesting take on how the clones were used. Instead of having one behind herself, Chloe could project them in front of her. At the very least this would be a perfect way to confuse a physical opponent. [1/3] Coating her body in her chakra again until it created the loose effect that she was looking for. Chloe attempted to push her chakra out, which was a lot more harder than she had originally anticipated. [2/3] Beforehand she was able to just let the clone slip off of her body and puppet it to follow her moves, but now she actually needed to force it out. Managing her chakra into a outward force Chloe shot out the clone off of herself and forward projecting a simple punch into the dummy, which Chloe soon followed up on in her second punch. [3/3] Delayed Strike Learned.
The next technique was a little tricky since it didn't function in the same way and the afore techniques. Shakily Chloe extended her chakra up into her shoulders and tried to reach outwards with it. [1/3] It took her some time but she was able to managed it well enough that the chakra began to manifest into a replicate of her arms. [2/3] Though they looked sketchy at best Chloe figured that the only way they would get anywhere is if she put them to the test. So instead of using her normal hands, Chloe used the chakra clones of them to pick up and lift things around. Slowly building up her mental strength and concentration with them. [3/3] Multiple Arms Learned.
Now came the really hard part. Into the finally stage the she was capable of learning Chloe set off to work immediately on concentration her chakra to become as dense as she could possible make it.[1/5] Her ultimate goal was to create after images without actually creating or rather "releasing' them out of her body yet. If she was able to do this than instead of having the clones pop out of her one at a time to preform an attack, they would be able to all come out and attack one after the other. [2/5] Once she got to the point where she thought that would be sufficient, Chloe moved over to one of the nearby dummies to practice her punch. [3/5] Getting underneath the dummy Chloe struck into a huge uppercut. The dummy went flying into the air from just her raw strength of it, though the damage wouldn't be much to those used to physical pain. [4/5] As the dummy flew upwards Chloe released all of her pent of chakra in a single burst of flurry and intense emotion. After images exploded out of her and upwards as each clone shot upwards to continue her punch and sky rocket the dummy into the air. [5/5] Rising Barrage Learned.
For the final technique into this style that she was able to learn. Chloe was a little intrigued but unfortunately could find no use for it as of yet. Only because she knew of no clone jutsu other than the one that she had been forced to learn in the academy, though the potential was certainly there. [1/5] Apparently this was a means of creating her after images into clones that would actually stick around after any techniques that she preformed with them. [2/5] Using her chakra to create a simple after image Chloe felt it rip from her body in the familiar way as before. The only difference being was that now she would attempt to make them real. [3/5] Her first attempt didn't go so well as the clones simply vanished at the same time they normally would have, which led Chloe to believe that perhaps they needed to be molded with this chakra before they split from her body. [4/5] Recreating the same technique as before Chloe mixed in her chakra into the clones just before the moment of creation when they slipped off of her body. The result? Her clones become able to stand for themselves. Sure they might not be the best as they could still be beaten with a single hit, but as Chloe grew in her training then perhaps she could find a more dangerous clone to replace them with. [5/5] Cicada Shell Learned.
Finished with learning the previous style Chloe hooped, skipped, and jumped right into the next one. The style seemed to revolve more around dodging your enemies attacks and then striking with her own, and as such the first basic technique that Chloe learned was how to stand optimally while dodging these attacks. [1/1] Flow Like Water Learned.
The next technique while simple at first glance was anything but. Using her relaxes Chloe would wait for the perfect moment before dodging the enemies attack. With her training so far so would easily be to momentarily take advantage of the styles stress on reflexes and speed. [1/1] Shift like the Sea Learned
The next technique in the list was one only usable after dodging an opponents attack. After using her superior reflexes to dodge an enemy Chloe would immediately strike them with such speed that they wouldn't have time to counter it normally. [1/1] Crash like a wave Learned.
Onto the next stage Chloe needed to practice the strength of her counters. By practice in her style Chloe would utilize her speed and accuracy to strike an opponent's weak points directly after her counter. It took her some time but eventually she managed to get it down. At least up to where her speed allowed her to, she would have to train more on that later. [1/1] Undertow Learned.
Nearly finished with the techniques in the stage Chloe set herself to work on the final one. Although this one used chakra in it's creation, luckily it didn't take much finesse in order to preform it. As such Chloe flared her entire body with chakra in one brief moment. Using ht opportunity to launch herself backwards at a greater speed than most others could accomplish with their simple body movements. [1/1] Seaworthy Learned.
Int he next set of skills Chloe had to learn was all about amplifying her dodging skills even further. With this training she should be able to dodge in the same way as before, except with less movement. Allowing her to preform her counterattacks much more efficiently. [1/1] Embrace the Brine Learned.
Using the same method of dodging described in embrace the brine, Chloe would be able to use this next technique in order strike after she has gotten close in her opponents face. Practicing in movements of dodging just enough to get into her foe's guard and, with a chakra enhanced muscles struck with all the force of thunder. [1/1]
The next technique was the pinnacle of dodging for someone at her level. Allowing to dodge almost anything the enemy could throw at her assuming her was fast enough to catch their movements. As such Chloe practiced her dodging and perception of her surroundings. [1/1] The Deep Learned.
Taking her dodging ability one step further Chloe focused on the ability to not only dodge an attack, but to practice her awareness during the enemies strike. This would allow her to not only dodge, but strike the out at the foe during their attack. [1/2] For the most part she almost had it under wraps. The only hard part was that because she had no one to practice with, there was no gauge for her to test how fast or slow they would strike. Either way at some point Chloe would get that experience the hard or easy way. For now this would have to do. [2/2] Every Inch of Sail Learned.
The next technique, a powerful punch capable of all the fury of a building storm on the horizon. Strangely the technique required no chakra at all, to which Chloe found really impressive. Gathering her strength in her coiled fist Chloe concentrated all of her newly acquired power into fist. [1/2] Striking out of at the dummy with such force that very air around her arm split apart into a mini tornado. Once mit made contact with the dummy there was no saving it. A gust of wind released as all the power of her strength and the force of the technique itself shattered the wood with ease. [2/2] Building Storm Learned.
The final technique in the style that Chloe was able to learn, held true to the name of saving the best for last. Used after dodging the taijutsu user will strike out with a chakra enhanced attack that drew it's strength by concentrating it's power into a single focal point. [1/3] Since it was the first part of the technique after all Chloe powered up her chakra into her fist. Taking it beyond the normal limits that she had with any other technique. The level of concentration required started to make her sweat already, though it was nothing she wasn't used to already from her bloodline. [2/3] Striking like a cobra in one swift motion all the chakra that was held pent up inside in her arm was released in an explosive burst. Traveling from her fingers into the metal dummy's arm joint. A screeching sound echoed throughout the halls as the metal ripped apart and the arm feel to the ground. [3/3] Wash against the Mountain Learned.
As Osiris and Atsuko left, he could not help but wonder, as always, if he had done the right thing. He was going to wage a proxy war in the shadows and justify its location based on the reputation on being a hive of criminal scum anyway. How many men were going to die because of his actions? How many families was he going to destroy to fight the uhv? How many was he willing to sacrifice? Letting out a sigh he took one final drag of his smoke and ashed it into the ashtray. Rising to his feet he headed out of the sound proofed room and down to the open dojo on the first floor.
Though his spirits were raised a bit when he gazed out and saw so many of his shinobi training so hard. Some were teaching, some were practicing, others were shadowboxing. Though in the back of his head he could hear the nagging question. How many of their lives would he have to spend to "liberate" the world from the UHV's oppression.

~Current Theme Music~:Buoyant Boogie- Splatoon 2 Toso would cease his trance like state at the sounding of a village wide announcement. KPD. Ah the police department...well that wasn't his department. Although it would be something to consider..Toso would then wince suddenly. A pain in his back. Right. Easy. Taking things easy. Toso would sit down and look at the lesson plan. He decided perhaps he would take this time to see what the more complicated lessons looked like. The first of course was fuuin shunsin which was a no brainer to he skipped ahead a few pages. 1/1 Fuuin Shunsin
Gogyou Fuuin a technique designed to seal a ninjas natures. To say it would be devastating seal to place upon a ninjutsu user would be an understatement. Toso would read carefully the intricacies of the sealing technique. If he was to teach more advanced classes in regards to the subject matter he'd have to get more acquainted with higher level techniques. Each finger producing a single seal for a desired element. Each required to strike an opponent in full to activate. Gogyou Fuuin 1/1
Of course with a seal a method to unseal it it must exist. Sure enough Gogyou Kaiin [ Five Elements Unseal ] was on the following page. Simple in all sense of the word. Well likely only simple due to Toso already understanding the intricacies of its predecessor. It was simply as if doing the same in vise versa. Least he'd be ready to unseal himself should the situation he could inflict befall himself. Gogyou Kaiin 1/1
Kekkai Houin. Creating an invisible physical or chakra barrier in front of oneself. A nye near impenetrable defense. That's what Toso needed a stronger defense. After all his unpredictability served him well...wait. A smile across Toso's face. This technique never stated that it specifically prevented the user from interacting with the barriers as well. It seemed with whatever idea he was concocting his unpredictability would serve him even more well. Kekkai Houin 1/1
Finally the last thing that caught his eye was Bunshin Houin. It seemed almost unfair to say the least bu at the same time he couldn't help but be intrigued. Having a persons clones betray them? The thought seemed almost sinister. Toso was never one to use clones in combat and thinking on that now it was likely a big handicap he was putting on himself. Taking the knowledge of considering that investing in both using and sealing clones would come in handy he'd take note of the technique and the concept of using clones himself more often. Bunshin Houin 1/1
Clones...ah that reminded him. He had never had the chance to properly thank everyone who had saved him. Well he didn't even know or see half of them. Xion apparently from word of mouth remained on Endaishima that left Unki and Shion. Honestly...he was unsure where to find either of them. Ah, well. The sharp pain in his back certainly signified something. He should find a nice place to relax. The temple would likely be a nice calm place. ~exit

•Mystic Hero: The user is much like a hybrid warrior, focusing on mixing ninjutsu into their personal arsenal. Through their great devotion to this path the user can cast ninjutsu without hand seals while wielding a weapon, D at genin, C at chunnin, B at Jounin, A at Konin, and S at Sannin. These techniques maintain the same description and criteria to use, as well as require the same amount of time to mold the chakra through the weapon as would be needed to perform hand seals, meaning the techniques are not instantaneously cast. The user’s spirit is so strong, that they can utilize their physical bukijutsu techniques to negate ninjutsu techniques of the same rank or below.
❞ ·.¸¸.-Techniques Used<-.¸¸.·´❞ Φ Many Arms of the Squid Rank: E-S As the Hojo cultivated and developed the realization that multiple crude arms could instead prove just as an effective tool for preserving their extensible limbs came to light. However these extra limbs were intentionally made imperfect as they were easier and less excruciating to produce. They bear even more of a resemblance to their pacted brethren in the sense that limbs produced this way do not have digits and are instead nubs not unlike tentacles. • This Technique can be trained up only to the user's maximum body rank. It can then be retrained at each body rank increase the number of limbs. • Each Rank of [ Many Arms of the Squid ] confers an extra appendage that may extend from one's back, sides, or neck. The appendage is retractable capable of hiding within the body and may extend up to 10 yards away from the body. This appendage however, cannot form hand signs. • If an appendage is lost, the only way to recover it is with the Hojo technique [ Arms of the Squid ] which makes them just as precious as one's current limbs. • The appendages for the most part can be considered tentacles, these appendages feel pain as any other appendage, these appendages have a unique benefit of being treated as [ Whips ] for whip oriented Bukijutsu. • These appendages are severely disadvantaged using taijutsu that requires, hands, fists, or great feats of physical strength resulting in [-2 Rank Detriment] to the technique it's used in conjunction with. • Using these appendages with Taijutsu that grapple confers a [+1 Rank Bonus] to the grapple and sustaining the grapple. • These appendages can be used in conjunction with Hojo clan [ Sticky Fingers ]

Mizuki laughed rather tauntingly. "Mmmm that so~" Seemed she was content for the moment to allow Kaneo a little extra suffering. Still she approached him and held up her hands over his chest cavity. Use of the diagnosis technique revealed much of what she expected was going on. More busted ribs, seemed like it was contagious with how many cases she'd seen lately. Suddenly green light appeared under her palms as the kunoichi channeled chakra to the area. That light would slowly but surely begin to heal Kaneo's injuries. It wouldn't be as fast as he'd like as Mizuki didn't have any calcium supplements or a skill dedicated to healing. Still it would eventually restore him to health. When it was all over she'd cease the chakra flow and step away for a moment. [3/3] [Advanced Performance]
