xxxxKinpaku Isshinxxxx
It seemed the Raikage's statement had gone unheeded. She came to better herself, and there was one of her distant family, Takeru. She knew little of the boy, but she couldn't be bothered at this point to worry about it. "Fine, I suppose, Takeru. I came to teach Suzume what I had for her to learn, and better myself," replied the Kage flippantly, "I'd advise you stay back while I learn." It would hopefully set a good example, inspiring awe before the genin.
From her sleeve, the woman drew out a scroll. It wasn't the family scroll, she'd left that behind at the office. She had little need of it at this point. Down the scroll she slid her finger, down to among the very last techniques of utter destruction. She looked down it once more. She was to learn Gekiryuu Chikara. Nothing would stand in her way.
Kinpaku made her efforts to make space between Takeru and the rest of the genin. Building included at this point, considering the force that was carried along with the move. Considering the lack of major water bodies here in the academy, the woman was going to be forced to rely on her own chakra to get it done right.
[1/7]
To begin with, the raikage formed her seals. She did so one at a time. The pace to which the oni took was a leisurely one. After all, in the early stages of learning, it was a process which permitted the woman to take her time. Botching a jutsu of this caliber would likely demolish the dojo, and her students along with it. Thus, Kinpaku needed to be sure she had it right.
[2/7]
The second bit she had to think about was chakra. How was it to be exerted in this case? The technique didn't utilize a shinobi's body as a focal point as some did. So that meant the woman would have to practice the art of utilizing the chakra within the air about her, something long lost on her.
[3/7]
Kinpaku focused on the flow of her chakra at this point, needing to figure out a way to utilize it in a exerted fashion. It was an oddity for the oni, having the capability to push it off into small bodies of water, to create sake to use. This was something that was completely new for her, however. Mulling over her thoughts, she continued to feel out her chakra channels.
[4/7]
At long last, the Raikage thought she had discovered the means. She shut her eyes for the moment, thinking of chakra running throughout her veins, becoming a fine mist, escaping from her nostrils. Her eyes opened, the chakra pouring out with each breath. So it seemed the exercise of preparation had been a success, that meant the technique was coming up mighty soon.
[5/7]
She formed the string of seals a bit more rapidly, watching her chakra flow from her into the air. The suiton formed chakra moved into the air, pulling water from the air. Globules of water in the air began to gather, nearly crystal clear, a diluted rose coloration uniform amongst the gathering water. Oh... The form of the water itself was fascinating enough.
[6/7]
The seals flew together more quickly than even before. "Gekiryuu Chikara!" the woman proclaimed boldly, as her chakra pulled together the globules of water even more tightly before. It wasn't long though, before the water seemed to be rushing out of thin air. It carved away earth, and gladly, as it was directed out of the village, it wasn't going to be of much harm. Between the space between the earth below the village and the village itself, a wonderful pool of water would be formed in the land below. Kinpaku couldn't help but gasp a little, drawing forth so much water was an exhausting movement. Hopefully, she'd done what she set out to couple with her training.
[7/7]

 ~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Genin ~ Bukijutsu ~
It felt as if it might be a big day ahead of her but it did not matter too much. Suzume needed to get busy so that she would learn plenty of techniques to be ready for any mission. The next technique to learn was called the Pivot Block. Basically she would sort of spin on her front leg while using her katana to block the incoming attack. She needed help so she called for the assistance of some Cloud shinobi. He seemed happy to help her out and they got started.
[Post 1/2]
They practiced enough that Suzume found it easy to gain the hang of the technique. When the other shinobi came in for an attack, she turned, her bokken coming in contact with his. His sword was deflected, set off to the side where she could disarm or throw the male. It was a simple yet effective attack, easy for Suzume to get the hang of. She had the shinobi stick around so she could try out the next set of techniques.
[Post 2/2 Learned Pivot Block]
The next technique to learn was called the Forward Grind. Basically after blocking an attack, she would keep the opponent's blade in place and her blade would grind down the opponents blade. Thus she would be closer to the opponent and able to strike while they did not have time to. The other shinobi would help her, attacking while Suzume blocked and then grinded her blade forward to get closer. This technique was easy enough to practice...
[Post 1/2]
She continued to practice the technique with the other shinobi. It was fairly easy to learn and she would be left plenty of time to learn the other techniques. Out of the corner or her eye she noticed the Raikage was busy practicing a technique. It was probably something advanced that Suzume herself might not ever learn. If it was a technique she thought would be useful to her. Either way now she was moving on to the next technique to learn.
[Post 2/2 Learned Forward Grind ]
The next technique was called Deflection One. This technique merely involved raising the blade a bit so as to change the direction of the incoming attack a bit. This would allow her the chance to set up an effective counter attack. Again the other shinobi was happy to help her out and they set to work practicing. It was another simple technique that the red head would learn quickly.
[Post 1/2]
While practicing this technique, Suzume could not help but look over to the Raikage to see her progress. It seemed the other was taking her time to learn the seals and focus her chakra. What else was to be expected? The other had been busy training for a long time so she knew what she was doing. As for Suzume, she was still figuring things out but so far so good. She finished learning Deflection One and now was ready for the next technique.
[Post 2/2 Learned Deflection One]
Next it was time to learn Disarming One. It was a little hard and needed good accuracy. Hitting the area beyond the focal point of the opponent's weapon. She would guide it away from the opponent and make it sleep out of their grasp. The other shinobi was willing to help her learn this one last technique for Stage Two. It was a little hard but Suzume would get the hang of it and increase her accuracy.
[Post 1/2]
Feeling some sort of change in the air, Suzume glanced over to the Raikage. It felt as if chakra were leaving the woman and entering the air for some reason. It had to be apart of the technique the Raikage was trying to learn... a Suiton technique? Turning her attention back to the other shinboi, she finished learned Disarming one. That concluded Stage Two and now Suzume was ready to move on to Stage Three.

~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Genin ~ Bukijutsu ~
Now this next technique would really be a good attack. This time she would merely need a practice dummy to learn the technique. It was called Calligraphy and it was a series of stabs and slices that would inflict shallow and debilitating wounds on the opponent. Now things would be getting interesting when learning Shunkan no Hagane. Moving over to the practice dummy, she got ready to being practice.
[Post 1/4]
Since it resembled calligraphy strokes, Suzume supposed she should be mimicking the writing. She did so slowly, not wishing to move too fast too soon since it would be too hard learning that way. Suzume used a few things as a base for her slashes and stabs, running through them slowly as she attacked the dummy. It was a bit slow paced but it was for the best and it helped her learn.
[Post 2/4]
Growing more comfortable with the movements, the red head started moving faster now. The dummy was not suffering major damage but on a real person with a real sword, it would be more effective. She was not going terribly fast but Suzume was picking up speed the more she got used to the movements. Slowly building speed, she was finally able to move quickly as she landed blows on the training dummy.
[Post 3/4]
Now she was moving at a good speed, hitting the dummy multiple times in seconds. The techniques of Shunkan no Hagane were bound to be tougher to learn yet worth it. It was finesse and basics that would reinforce her attacks. Not to mention they did not require chakra and that would be needed in battle. Finishing up one final attack, Suzume felt she had a good handle on the attack and would move on to learn the next technique.
[Post 4/4 Learned Calligraphy]
Next to learn would be a technique called Extension. This did not require chakra, instead speed and strength would be used to sharpen the air around her blade. Suzume was already skilled when it came to using katanas so this should not be impossible to learn. Suzume merely figured that she would practice on the the dummy and be able to hit it from farther away.
[Post 1/4]
Standing away from the battered and cut training dummy, Suzume got ready to practice. She stood a couple inches away, far enough she would be in range for Extension to work but not too far to miss completely. The red head would start swinging, trying to moved her bokken in a horizontal slash that had both speed and power behind it. So far nothing but Suzume was not going to give up easily.
[Post 2/4]
Looking back over to the Raikage, she noticed that there were now globs of water in the air. Interesting to say the least and Suzume was right in guessing that it was a Suiton technique. Turning back to the training dummy, Suzume worked harder than ever now so she could learn Extension. She merely had to find the right amount of speed and energy to use. She could see it working a little, she almost had the technique down.
[Post 3/4]
Finally, she was able to use Extension and now she was able to cut into the dummy. It was not much at first but the more she kept practicing, the better the cut became. Suzume continued attacking until she was sure she had the technique down. The proof was the cuts appearing in the dummy even when the actual bokken did not hit it. Smiling, she was ready to move on to the next technique.
[Post 4/4 Learned Extension]
The next technique would be both fun and useful. Suzume would learn to walk on threads without using chakra. She was sure that there were already wires set up. Looking up, she did notice that there were wires up there to practice. Hurrying up the wall, she got to the wires and got ready to start balancing.
[Post 1/4]
So far so good, Suzume was walking along the wires and her progress was adequate. Not to say she did not wobble this way and that when crossing the wires. The red head swayed back and forth along the wires, legs buckling as her hands grabbed on. Suzume was determined to keep going though and she was not going to give up on learning this technique.
[Post 2/4]
The next time she looked down, the Raikage had just shouted out a technique. Suzume watched with interest as the water pulled together and then started to carve out the earth as it moved. An impressive technique and even more impressive was how the other controlled it. It would be fun to perhaps spar with Kinpaku one day. Although Suzume did not want to just walk up to her and challenge her. Sure she seemed friendly but Suzume couldn't just walk up to Kinpaku.
[Post 3/4]
Sighing softly, Suzume walked along the wires with ease now. It was not so hard, she just needed to work on her balance, find her center. There was a little problem now and then but Suzume quickly righted herself. It was certainly bound to be a useful technique and the red head was glad to have learned it. Moving to one end of the wires, she jumped down and landed softly on the ground, ready to learn the last technique in Stage Three.
[Post 4/4 Learned Thread Walking One]
This next technique would require a little help to get used to. She called over a shinobi to help her out. This technique just required a bit more balance so she would be on solid footing. Which was the name of the technique coincidentally. If she learned it correctly then it would be hard for anyone to knock her off her feet.
[Post 1/4]
Getting into her stance, the red head waited for the other shinobi to start attacking. Not real attacks of course, but blows that would try to knock her down. The other had been successful the first couple of times but after adjusting her stance, it became harder and harder. Now the shinobi was knocking her down less frequently and Suzume was getting the idea of the stance.
[Post 2/4]
Suzume nearly had the hang of the stance and her balance was getting better. She was being knocked down less frequently and soon she would have the technique down. The red head adjusted her stance a bit more and her balance was improving. Soon she was not getting knocked down at all and except for once and awhile so Suzume was sure she learned the technique now.
[Post 3/4]
Suzume kept up the practice until she was quite difficult to knock down. When that was finished, she thanked the other shinobi for their time and he left to continue his own training. The third stage was taken care of, she could learn some techniques from the fourth stage. Although she was wondering if she would have time. Something was bound to come up at this rate, she just wasn't sure what the thing would be.

xxxxKinpaku Isshinxxxx
It was getting to the point where the Raikage was starting to feel slightly rusty, neglecting Cooramoor. It sat in its case, slung over her shoulder, much as it always did. She didn't have the talent just yet to perform the jutsu she just had. Now though... She had no target jutsu that high on the scale. Next on the list; Suiho no jutsu.
This was going to be a bit of an awkward situation. She imagined that it would operate in a way, where her chakra would pool in one of two places, drawing the water vapor still. She didn't dare think about which it would be, so instead, she would try one way, and then the other.
[1/5]
Pooling her chakra at this point, she worked steadily. It filled and mixed with her opened lungs. An odd feeling for certain, but it was a process for the Raikage nevertheless! She worked systematically, letting it swell, and rise ever so slowly.
[2/5]
Test number one: Utilizing chakra to pull water from the air within her lungs. Normally, not the greatest idea, but what else did the woman have? It wasn't going to stay in the first place, which meant that she had to work her way. She wasted no effort on this part, however. The chakra worked its way upward.
[3/5]
Chakra formed in her throat, all the way up into her mouth, seeping free. Much like the other techniques, she kept her focus on watery chakra, forming the seals. It stung greatly, rushing from her abdomen and upward into her esophagus. Her hands flicked out her bow, case cracking open over her shoulder.
[4/5]
Settling the violin upon her shoulder, leaning into it, she hummed a slight tune. Allein touched down on the violin's strings, beginning to slide peaceably across the wires. An oddity of sorts, considering the pain which came along with the move. Still, she wasted little effort, playing speedily. It was good to know she still could. Here, her move swelled in chorus, as the refrain she used came to an end, she spewed forth the scalding jet of water. Stone carved finely. It was a fascinating move, and she felt relief, knowing that she'd succeeded in maintaining her talent.
[5/5]
[Suiton: Suiho no jutsu learned]
At this point, she was checking out the last of her water techniques to learn for the time being. Just a small factor yet, and she utilized a low ranking technique, reinforced by talent. A brief humming on her violin, using the bow as a focus for the chakra she utilized. Water formed about the bow, forming a dagger to use. This was the minimal effort she put in, but it was fine as it was.
