‘Good, Good’ Theo thought as he watched, readying his staff as he saw Nari struggle a bit with the stubborn nature chakra.

Normally nari was not one for brute force yet at an idea came to his mind as he continued to struggle. Natural chakra was strong but so was his own. So he allowed his chakra to circulate just a bit so that it would balance out with what he was taking in. The process was something that he would likely have struggled insanely with if it was not for the near decade of training he had. [5/10]
● Iron resiliency: The user has gone through tough enough training, being roughed up and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user's fortitude is mildly increased. ● Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The user's striking strength is mildly increased. ● Swift Foot: A well trained individual is usually faster than an untrained individual, and the practitioners of the Iron Fist understand this fact more than anyone. However, those of the Iron fist not only accomplish this boost of speed….they also do it in armor! The user is now unaffected by the additional weight of armor (to a logical limit), and when the user is out of armor, their body and technique speed is greatly increased at the loss of the protection. They are much more adept at bursting into action, going from standing to 100% in single moments. Conversely, the user can now perform these techniques without needing armor. Must relearn every technique at half the learning cost to perform techniques without armor to learn the different distances and timing of the techniques. Overrides restriction. ● True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. Increases Stamina by +25 for every style mastered. ● Satori [ Enlightenment ]: Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. The user's strength and fortitude is increased heavily. ● Offensive Style: Knife Stances: The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Speed of all Bukijutsu employing small arms is mildly increased. ● Offensive Style: Simple Play: With this training, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch. The user's reflexes are mildly increased. ● Trick Style: Knife Toss: The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. Confers a slight reflex bonus to the practitioner. ● Offensive Style: Artless Draw: The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash. Slightly increases the speed of strikes made when drawing a small weapon. ● Trick Style: Retreating Feet: The practitioner, already acquainted with many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. The practitioner's footsteps are rendered silent to all who do not have enhanced hearing, and the footsteps they leave in soft ground are shallow. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. ● Trick Style: Blade’s Edge: The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip. Confers a slight increase to the user's reflexes. ● Offensive Style: Stepless: The practitioner has become so used to performing quick and silent steps that they scarcely realize that they themselves are moving. The user's speed and reflexes are mildly boosted. ● Offensive Style: Mistborn Stepping: Silent, swift, and sharp. The practitioner is able to creep about at a decent pace while making close to zero noise. While moving through an area where cover or some obscuring factor is present (buildings, people, fog, etc.), the practitioner gains a moderate bonus to speed and reflex. ● Skill: Multitasking: While the first two stages of the style revolve around the very basics of how to use a bow, the third stage incorporates the use multiple arrows into a more stylish way of battling. Mastery allows the user to simultaneously fire multiple arrows with any technique that does not specifically state otherwise, and allows the Arrow Creation technique to create up to three arrows at once with no increase in cost. ● Skill: Manipulation: Manipulating the bow itself is simple, but controlling the arrows is very difficult. Many enhancements can be made to arrows to give them different flight paths, but buying those kinds of arrows is expensive and making them is difficult, so a method was developed wherein the user can freely alter how an arrow flies without need for such trifles. During this training, the user practices firing arrows with abnormal hand positions. Reduces the Stamina cost of bow-related Bukijutsu techniques (including Formless Styles) by 10 Stamina, to a minimum of 5 Stamina. ● Skill: Adaptability: For the most part, the style thus far has focused on techniques to be used while stationary. However, this leads to many problems when fighting alone in situations that demand frequent movement. During this training exercise, the practitioner is to practice all known techniques while running, jumping, and maneuvering across a battlefield. After mastery, the user can align shots even while running and jumping. ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Whack! Seeing Nari struggling with the natural chakra, Theodin swung his staff downward to strike the jounin on the shoulder, forcibly knocking the nature chakra out of him. “Not bad, but force isn’t the answer, gotta finesse it. Take it in, surround it, merge with it.”

Aaaand there it was, the sudden sharp wack to the shoulder. He was wondering how long it would take for his friend to start using him as a whack bag. Course it was his own fault anyway for screwing up and trying to force something that was finessed. Nodding lightly he let his chakra return to its still state before opening himself back up to the natural chakra around him. [6/10]

After a moment his thoughts faded away as he focused only on his breathing and allowed his tenketsu to pull in and release chakra in sync with his breathing. After a few moments of drawing nature chakra into his body he suddenly began to chuckle. He could feel it, the chakra of the people and creatures around him, every single living thing in the area. It was an experience he had never had before and he loved every second of it. Ninshuu taught people that chakra was meant to connect but this feeling was something entirely different. [7/10]

Taking a deep breath nari began to turn his now extensive sensory ability inwards. If he coudl master this new chakra, then he would have to figure out a way to balance not only his normal chakra, but Choumei's chakra and natural chakra. Doing so on its own would be a challenge but even the idea of doing all three at the same time and accessing all three at the same time was something that he did not even give time to consider.

For now at least he did not have to deal with the three chakra thing, for now he only had to deal with the two. His own and nature chakra. With his attention focused inwards nari could literally feel and see the chakra flowing though his body, the way it flowed through his chakra network and where the tenketsu points met with with key arteries and veins within his body. To which the relationship of the two was not lost on him nor the gravity of what that implied. With a smile he spoke softly,"Thank you for teaching me this by the way." [9/10]

There were three times in Nari's life, three, where he felt truly at peace with the world. First, was the day all of his training paid off and he completed his first assassination mission flawlessly. Second, was the night he had spent with Sonyo after they became a couple. Third, was this moment, here and now. From where he sat the world was in order, despite the hell above him, the death of the civilians, the pain they felt, the demon slumbering within him and the war with the UHV. In this moment, all was right. Not that he would know but upon his face spread marks made of pure chakra. The first two were two thick curving lines spreading from points at the middle of his nose which grew to be one inch thick at his jawline. Both above and below his eyes were a total twenty emerald dots, ten per eye. Rising to his feet he smiled,"Yet again my friend." He bowed at the waist deeply,"Thank you for this gift. I will use it with honor and pride." Taking a deep breath he allowed the nature chakra he had absorbed to seep from his body and meld back into the surroundings. Adjusting his robes so that he would be presentable he headed back up the stairs towards the office and his meeting with Ayame. [10/10]
● Iron resiliency: The user has gone through tough enough training, being roughed up and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user's fortitude is mildly increased. ● Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The user's striking strength is mildly increased. ● Swift Foot: A well trained individual is usually faster than an untrained individual, and the practitioners of the Iron Fist understand this fact more than anyone. However, those of the Iron fist not only accomplish this boost of speed….they also do it in armor! The user is now unaffected by the additional weight of armor (to a logical limit), and when the user is out of armor, their body and technique speed is greatly increased at the loss of the protection. They are much more adept at bursting into action, going from standing to 100% in single moments. Conversely, the user can now perform these techniques without needing armor. Must relearn every technique at half the learning cost to perform techniques without armor to learn the different distances and timing of the techniques. Overrides restriction. ● True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. Increases Stamina by +25 for every style mastered. ● Satori [ Enlightenment ]: Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. The user's strength and fortitude is increased heavily. ● Offensive Style: Knife Stances: The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Speed of all Bukijutsu employing small arms is mildly increased. ● Offensive Style: Simple Play: With this training, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch. The user's reflexes are mildly increased. ● Trick Style: Knife Toss: The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. Confers a slight reflex bonus to the practitioner. ● Offensive Style: Artless Draw: The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash. Slightly increases the speed of strikes made when drawing a small weapon. ● Trick Style: Retreating Feet: The practitioner, already acquainted with many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. The practitioner's footsteps are rendered silent to all who do not have enhanced hearing, and the footsteps they leave in soft ground are shallow. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. ● Trick Style: Blade’s Edge: The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision and is now able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip. Confers a slight increase to the user's reflexes. ● Offensive Style: Stepless: The practitioner has become so used to performing quick and silent steps that they scarcely realize that they themselves are moving. The user's speed and reflexes are mildly boosted. ● Offensive Style: Mistborn Stepping: Silent, swift, and sharp. The practitioner is able to creep about at a decent pace while making close to zero noise. While moving through an area where cover or some obscuring factor is present (buildings, people, fog, etc.), the practitioner gains a moderate bonus to speed and reflex. ● Skill: Multitasking: While the first two stages of the style revolve around the very basics of how to use a bow, the third stage incorporates the use multiple arrows into a more stylish way of battling. Mastery allows the user to simultaneously fire multiple arrows with any technique that does not specifically state otherwise, and allows the Arrow Creation technique to create up to three arrows at once with no increase in cost. ● Skill: Manipulation: Manipulating the bow itself is simple, but controlling the arrows is very difficult. Many enhancements can be made to arrows to give them different flight paths, but buying those kinds of arrows is expensive and making them is difficult, so a method was developed wherein the user can freely alter how an arrow flies without need for such trifles. During this training, the user practices firing arrows with abnormal hand positions. Reduces the Stamina cost of bow-related Bukijutsu techniques (including Formless Styles) by 10 Stamina, to a minimum of 5 Stamina. ● Skill: Adaptability: For the most part, the style thus far has focused on techniques to be used while stationary. However, this leads to many problems when fighting alone in situations that demand frequent movement. During this training exercise, the practitioner is to practice all known techniques while running, jumping, and maneuvering across a battlefield. After mastery, the user can align shots even while running and jumping. ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Soft and shoe-less footsteps made their way across the dojo floor. Sonyo had opted for bare feet this time around, more for personal preference than anything else. She made her way to the technique scrolls, only to stare at one in particular: Akira, the bane of her existence. Usually shinobi wouldn't both with a style they disliked so much, but Sonyo had her reasons. The training was hard, and rigorous, and it reminded her too much of the time wasted learning fan-dancing. But she was good at it, she held a fan like it was an extension of her arm, and so she continued the training through all the difficulties and the pain. She snatched up the scroll and moved over to a training area.
Sonyo laid the scroll out on the floor and looked through the moves she had already learned. That's right, she was on the second stage of Akira now, the Akira of Balance. She had already learned Dancer's Reprieve so next was... "Ah! Artist's Parallel! I'll need two fans for this one..." Sonyo moved over the where the dojo kept their weapons supply and promptly picked up another fan before returning to her spot next to a dummy. The female crouched in a ducking position, as if she had just ducked under someone's weapon before thrusting her fans forward in to the dummy. The hit connected the first try, and sonyo found herself almost dumbfounded. Had she grown this much since the last time she had trained this style? The female stood back up and looked at the fans that she was holding; this was a lot easier than she remembered. It dawned on her that she had grown so much she was almost an entirely new person now, and that brought a smile to her face.

Sonyo then moved on to her next jutsu; it seemed to be a defensive one. sonyo moved in to the position mentioned in the scroll, putting one fan on top of each other about torso height. She would then, in this position, channel chakra in to her fans and clap them together, creating a shock wave of some kind. It seemed the more power she put in to it, the farther she could blow things back, and the larger those things could be. She dropped her fans, took a deep breath, then preformed the technique. Air came bursting forth from her fans, creating a shock wave strong enough to knock over the dummy in front of her. Surprised, Sonyo moved over to the dummy and set it back up. "This move could prove very useful in the future, that's for sure."

Sonyo moved back in to the Akira balance stance and began practicing her next move. With a breath to center herself, Sonyo took a step forward and brought up her fan whilst channeling chakra in to the weapon. In doing such, a blade of chakra made it's way from the fan and sliced the dummy clear in half. The half of the dummy that made it's way free made a large "THUMP" against the ground.
❖￤ 1 // 1;; Shinobi's Slash Learned! ]
Sonyo Returned once again to her stance and brought her singular fan up and over to her opposing shoulder. She first practiced the backhand motion she would have to use in order to use the move correctly, except when she actually did the move she'd have to channel chakra through it first. She once again repeated the motion, wind exploding from her fan. The wind was frigid, making frost collect on the dummy.

The next move was different, and a nice change from the repetitive moves she had been doing prior. Sonyo closed her eyes and focused, gathering chakra in her legs. Once she was sure she had enough chakra she leapt upwards, flipping so that her feet were facing upwards. When her feet connected and she was sure that she wouldn't fall, the young female extended one arm with a fan in it. The fact that the people who were just perviously watching her strange actions were now looking around let her know that she was successful. No one could see her in till she finally decided to drop downwards.

The next jutsu was also a different one than she had been learning before, but to learn this one she would need to call over one of the other people in the dojo. This time is was a somewhat stout girl with a slightly squashed face and small eyes, but somehow she was still beautiful despite the conventional "ugly" features of her face. Sonyo told the girl to try to knock her down as she got back in to the Akira Balance stance, holding up her fans. She would tighten the muscles in her legs and wait for the girl to charge her or try to throw her. The female charged forward, trying to knock her over with her shoulder but Sonyo stood strong, only sliding back sligthly. She thanked the woman and let her walk off as she, herself, shook off to get rid of the shock of the impact.
❖￤ 1 // 1 ;; Grace Learned! ]
Flickering beauty was next, a distractive jutsu meant to catch the enemy of the opponent and set them off guard. The young female rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck before raising her fans once more towards the dummy in front of her. She channeled chakra through her fans, her eyes narrowing in focus. With one step forward, she brought her fan across her body, preforming the beginning of Brute's swing. Chakra burst forwards, creating a dazzling effect almost like snow reflecting the sun, and Sonyo followed through with the roundhouse kick that was to come after. She let out a soft breath, returning to the original stance.
Now it was time to learn yet another stance, this one was called the Akira of Elegance, and it seemed to be a mixture of the past two stances. Sonyo moved her feet decently apart, taking in a deep breath. She needed to be comfortable in this stance, so that her reaction time would be greater. Sonyo closed her eyes, meditating in the stance. She thought of becoming elegant, like Nari or like Ayame. She wanted to be elegant and beautiful and powerful, that was her ultimate image of herself. She felt like that would be when she was a full-blown shinobi, when she reached that goal.
❖￤ 1 // 2 ;; The Third Akira: The Akira of Elegance ]
After meditating for several minutes, Sonyo began to slowly dance in the stance, humming softly as she did so. She felt her aggravation at the Bukijutsu style slowlyy fade away as she closed her eyes, her steps practiced. The fans in her hands elegantly found their through the air, her hums reverberating through her small space. A scene played out in her head; it ws beach with calmly lapping waves and a sun radiating warmth down on her. Nari was there, so was Theo and Elizabeth and all of her other friends. With some sort of bittersweet sadness, Sonyo opened her eyes, breaking the illusion behind her eyelids. The stance had become natural to her now, and she had no reason to continue.
