«T»he final technique in the Pai Qua Quan style that he'd be learning at this level was the actual "Pi" in the styles name. He read over the scroll in front of him and took in the overall structure of the technique he'd be practicing here shortly. It was a simple move that could be used for a multitude of purposes. From defense to offense, it had a place. Satisfied he'd be able to reproduce the correct results, he moved back up to the tree to try things out.
{ Begin Training Pi 1/1 }
Although he didn't have an opponent to throw a punch, he did pretty well moving his wrist down in a striking pattern. Wanting to define the actual strike before using it, he practiced on the empty air in front of the tree a few times. When he was happy with how his wrist and fingers proceeded in the downward ark, he moved closer to the tree to get within striking range.
Swinging his palm encased in the leather gauntlet low, he raked with his spiked claws and barely made any scratch in the bark. This didn't worry him, but instead, encouraged him. He managed to nail the actual move, even if it didn't have the power required of a full strike. He practiced again, again, then once more. The gloves moved against the tree smoothly each time, not leaving a mark.
Saqr popped his knuckled and decided to switch hands. He practiced for a while on his left, non-dominant hand. When he had done about the same number as his right, he decided it was time for finding where the power behind this technique was hidden. He approached the tree with a set look on his face, his hands limp and relaxed at his side.
Suddenly, his hands shot out and then down. He was using both hands and they crossed in front of him in an downward X pattern. He forced his hands hard and firm, keeping his fingers locked as they made contact with the tree. The gloves pulled against his skin and he adjusted, forcing the clawed end deeper into the tree. He ripped his hands out and jumped back, surveying his work. The tree was definitely marked more deeply than before. The X stood out sharp and dark, a clear sign of his foray into the Pi technique.
"A few more to go," he said to himself, out of breath. He walked away from the tree and back towards the scrolls, now in two piles. The unread scrolls on the right and the one's he had worked out of on the left.

«A»lthough he still had a few moves in the Pi Qua Quan style to go, Saqr felt a little burnt out. Instead of heading towards the scrolls which he'd already been reading, he chose from the two remaining scrolls in the stack. The one he removed included basic Techniques of Doton ninjutsu style. He pulled open the scroll and looked it over. He knew there'd be a few that would call out to him, he just wasn't sure what. Then his eyes fell upon exactly what he was looking for.
"Ishi Yoroi no Ude, he said to himself. A hidden smile broke across his covered lips and he continued reading. Although it likely wouldn't come up too often with his weapon of choice, this was a great way to keep himself protected. He set the scroll aside with the two others he'd read and moved back to the tree he'd been working on. One could see the wear on the bark from the previous training.
{ Begin Training Ishi Yoroi no Ude 1/2 }
He decided to start with just his bare skin to begin. Saqr removed both of his gauntlets and replaced them in the hip pouch beneath his robes. Then he squatted down to get closer to the ground. The skill required the binding and use of soil or mud, so he sunk his hands into the deep soil around the trees. It was loose and he easily slid both arms up to the elbow. He focused to imbue the soil with his chakra. Then, he removed his hands quickly and inspected.
They were empty of everything except a few clods of dirt. He must not have used enough chakra and sunk his hands back into the depths. He concentrated deeper and long this time, really wanting to take control of the dirt and mold it to his will. This time, as he puled his hands from the roots around the tree, they were covered in a solid layer of mud. They formed a perfect rendering of his normal pair of gloves he wore, minus the claws. It must have been subconscious, because he didn't mean to give them a shape at all.
He was happy with the work, so the next step would be the actual strike. He moved up to the tree, readying himself.

«T»he tree loomed overhead, pocked and leaking sap from the previous strikes Saqr had made. Keeping his eyes locked on a specific point, he rose his hands that were still covered in the bracers made of soil and chakra. It didn't take long for them to disappear and he sent a cross and a right hook at the tree. They shattered easily enough, but that was exactly what Saqr was looking for. He wanted to gauge the exact amount of force would be needed to break them. A full force punch seemed to do the trick, so he'd keep that in mind.
Next, he replaced the two clawed gloves onto his hands. He sunk his hands deep into the soil at the roots of the tree again, bending onto one knee and dirtying his blue robe. He removed his hands and found the gauntlets were covered in the same mud his hands were hidden behind. They still had the same shape as before, but this time Saqr thought it was more from the actual gauntlets than his chakra control. He flexed his hands and listened to the creaking leather muffled beneath the layer of crunching dirt.
Then he struck out again. A double handed hammer fist that exploded into the side of the tree with soil shattering in every direction. It sprinkled onto his robes and around the tree, not with four holes where his hands had stolen the earth from the roots. After removing the gloves and shaking them clean, he replaced them and walked back over to the scroll with one last technique in mind. He spotted it earlier on the scroll and thought it would also be helpful

«T»he next move that Saqr was wanting to learn was a basic earth clone. Although some would think it unnecessary since he already knew the normal Bushin, the physical and defensive properties of the earth clone definitely had more benefits. So, after going back to the scroll and briefly looking over the hand seals, he moved out into the open sand, away from the line of trees, to practice the clone.
{ Begin Training Doton Bunshin no Jutsu 1/2 }
Saqr put his hands together in the Tora sign and concentrated his chakra. Although he knew the basics of creating a clone out of nothing, using the earth around him and imbuing it with his chakra was harder. He could feel the pool of fog that was his chakra begin rising around his feet. Almost completely see through at first, then becoming increasingly more opaque and sky blue as Saqr continued concentrating. A full minute went by before he rose his eyes and released the hand seal.
He verbally barked out the commands and shouted, "Doton Bunshin no Jutsu!" A clone reared itself seamlessly from the sand next to him and stood. It looked good, but the real test would come from the strength. Without warning, Saqr shot his leg out towards the clone and swept it's legs out from under him, just as the clone was turning to look and take orders.It's knees collided and it fell to the floor before seeming to melt back into earth, sand, and mud.

«S»aqr didn't even wait before making the next clone. As soon as his leg was back firmly on the ground, he shouted the hand signs for the earth clone. He didn't need his hands and kept them at the ready, gloved in leather and clawed. When he finished, the clone appeared in front of him. It was perfect and, this time, it was staring Saqr in the eye. It rose it's own hands when he saw the look on the original Saqr's face.
"Let's go" Ewen Rosa Atrayati whispered beneath his hood. His hand shot out with a right jab, but the clone blocked. The clone was slightly slower and Saqr calculated the difference in response time in seconds. Deflecting a roundhouse from the clone, Saqr advanced.
The left jab, right hook combo shot out again and the clone took it solidly. It rose both it's hands and pushed Saqr hard in the chest. He was moved backwards and away from the clone a few feet, but kept his legs beneath him. When the clone charged, Saqr sidestepped and stuck his foot out, cartoonishly. The clone tripped and fell on it's hands before disappearing back into the much and the sand.
Saqr righted himself and brushed any loose sand and rock off himself, keeping his robes as clean as he could under the circumstances. He felt good about the clone jutsu and knew it would come in handy in the near future.

«S»aqr made his way back over to the single scroll laying unread. He picked it up, knowing exactly what it was. In his hands, he held some basic techniques for the Fuuton style of ninjutsu. He opened the scroll, this time knowing was he was looking for. He set aside two techniques and decided to work them at the same time. They'd work well and it would give him time to test their strength.
{Begin Training Fūton: Shinkūjin 1/4} { Begin Training Kaze no Bouseki Tate 1/4 }
Beginning by taking the Tora sign again, Saqr focused his chakra towards the two gloves on his hand. He envisioned the chakra reaching his fingers and then deep into the claws, creating stronger and more defined beams. When he brought his hands up to his eyes, he could see five, small, beams of wind extending a little further out from the claws. He smiled and released the technique. It was okay, but not the best.
Concentrating harder, he tried again. This time when he looked down, he saw the claws were significantly longer, maybe 10cm long. The next step would be to draw the wind around him. He whispered the hand signs needed under his breath and tried to draw his chakra up and out in a whirlwind. He felt it starting to move, then he lost his focus and both his gloves and the wind stopped.

«I»t felt like fire shot through his veins and Saqr pushed the chakra out of his body as hard as he could. He shouted out the hand signs for the two techniques at the top of his longs. First, long claws made from wind extended from the end of both of his gloves. They extended down at least 12cm and looked menacing. Saqr clicked them together and they made an almost inaudible sound which was hidden beneath the rising wind.
Around him, his chakra had begun to stir up the sand and whip it around his body. A five foot circle soon appeared with him at the middle, and Saqr was completely hidden beneath fine grain and the wind being swirled violently. At the time the whirl was going the hardest, Saqr tossed out his five kunai and shuriken in opposite directions. They hit the wall of wind and recoiled back towards him. With a theatrical twirl, Saqr tossed both his hands up and caught the entire collection of kunai and shuriken in the extended claws of his gauntlets. With dexterous hands, he replaced the projectiles in the folds of his robe and looked out from the dissipating swirl of sand.

«W»hen the sand finally did fade, Saqr was left standing. Both of the claws had dispersed and he thought it was time to move onto trying something different. Removing a shuriken from his side, he mouthed the signs needed and turned it into a makeshift demon wind shuriken. Calculating the twirl and the angle, Saqr threw the weapon away. It flew far and over the tops of the trees before beginning to ark back. Just like he planned.
Before it drew too close, Saqr's hands flashed together and he made the signs needed for the next skill. A wall of wind appeared in front and around him, blocking the incoming projectile. The shuriken hit the wall of wind and was caught up in the swirl. Soon, it was sent into the air in a random direction and Saqr tracked it with his eyes. When the wall of wind disappeared again, he walked over and picked up the shuriken. He just had one more thing he needed to try.

«R»eaching into his pocket, Saqr removed a senbon needle. He mouthed the signs and the senbon needle was surrounded in his sky-blue chakra. It formed into the shape of a saber. Walking a few steps closer to make sure his aim was true, Saqr tossed the chakra and senbon at a tree, where it stuck firmly. He drew a little closer and made the hand seals for the second jutsu.
The wind started it's whirl and it pulled at the clothes on his body. When it reached full force, it ripped the senbon in the shape of a saber from the tree. Practicing his control of his own techniques, Saqr watched the twirling object in the air. Just when it was over his head, he released the wall of wind and watched as the senbon fell from the sky, wreathed in chakra. He released the first jutsu and caught just the needle in his right hand, slipping it back into his robe.

With a happy gait, Saqr walked back over to the pile of scrolls and pocketed them. He felt pretty happy about how his training turned out and was stocked for putting these skills to use. He walked back over to the entrance and readied himself for the sand outside of the dome. He needed to return the scrolls, but after that, he wasn't sure.

«W»ith the two scrolls out and in his hands as soon as he entered the building, Saqr sauntered over to his old, beat-up, tree friend and sat down. He perused the two volumes in his hands before deciding that he'd continue with the cestus-based style first. Setting the Pai Qua Quan scroll to his right on the ground, far enough away that it wouldn't be trampled, Saqr studied the one remaining scroll in his grasp.
{ Begin Training Shouten 1/2 }
Before he went any deeper into the style, he realized that he'd need to condition his body further. He read through the first technique he'd be learning and realized it wasn't really a technique at all. Instead, it was a means of keeping yourself safe. Through the concentration of chakra detection around the body, one was able to tell if they were the target of a glance or stare. It was useful, especially if an enemy happened to slip out of sight.
Saqr knew chakra control wasn't one of the strongest abilities he had, but he felt confident in his abilities. He had the base understanding of the style, as well as the previous techniques. With a positive mindset, he set to work.
First, he created the Tora seal and focused on the chakra around his body. He wasn't really looking to do anything except get a feel for what it was like to sense the constant flow of energy. He tried shifting his chakra lower in his feet, and could almost see the robin egg blue torrent falling down his body and to his toes. He stopped before it go to strong and smiled to himself, not wanting to actually preform a technique. Then, he amplified the feeling.
{ Begin Training Shouton 2/2 }
Without drawing from the physical nerves in his skin, Saqr let the chakra in his system do the observing. He could feel the absence of the wind on his eyes and upper cheeks, the rash on his back, and the pain in his legs and arms from the constant training. He concentrated harder and achieved what he was hoping for.
A prickle, like a warm flame far underneath his arm, began to make itself known when he cast his eyes on the spot. When he changed to his toes, he felt the same prickle. It was the early detection system, or Shouton, he'd been looking for. With a laugh, muffled by the robes, he sat back down and grabbed the scroll, ready for the next technique.

«C»oming up next on the list of techniques that Saqr aimed to master was the Hyouji, or marking technique. It was all about chakra control and Saqr'r hopes dropped when he saw this. Then he remembered how well the previous training had gone and found himself strangely calm. Setting the scroll down, standing, and drawing closer to the tree, Saqr readied himself.
{ Begin Training Hyouji 1/2 }
The base of this technique was to focus the chakra in his hands and to leave a mark. He reached into his waist pocket and removed the pair of leather cestuses he kept there. Pulling them firmly into place, he let his mind examine the many puncture wounds he'd left in the tree up to this point. It'd be different this time, however.
He made the tora sign and began to focus. He could feel the swirling of his chakra twisting and forming something new. It felt strange, like a mixture of boiling and freezing concoctions smashing together. It was exhilarating, but also kind of scary. This threw off his focus and when he struck out with his right hand and gingerly touched the tree, nothing was left in it's place. He didn't curse, just stayed calm and readied himself for another go.

«T»his time, the feeling was like a gale force wind blowing across his mind. He could tell right away that the amount of chakra he had was too much and when he tried to focus it down into his hands and fingers for the marking, he felt it pushing back hotly against his demands. In the end, he managed to get a good sum of his chakra into his hands. He struck the tree quickly, before his chakra had time to decide it wanted to be elsewhere. When he drew his hand back and examined it, though, he was disappointed.
Although he had marked the tree, what he'd left wasn't really something useful. He could already tell it screamed it's presence by the amount of pure chakra it was seeming to emit. He put way too much of himself into the move and would need to make sure that didn't happen in the future. If he messed up like this in the field, it would mean less moves and a lower chance of coming out of things alive. With this in mind, he readied himself for one last attempt.
The chakra seemed to come to him this time, like a fish to a particularly colorful and animated lure. He grabbed it kindly with his thoughts and directed it, not forced it, to his hands. It went of it's own accord and when he reached out and lightly tapped the tree, it left a mark in the tree that could be felt, but not exactly seen. It sustained and didn't collapse into itself, so Saqr felt that was likely the trick.
He took a step back and joined the scrolls on the ground, unrolling and taking a look at the next technique he needed.

«E»xcitement rushed through Saqr's mind as he read the next move he'd be learning. Although it wasn't a direct combat technique, like the last, it was mighty impressive. Using a combination of chakra management and control via a marked target, one could keep a steady pace with a fleeing opponent Saqr dropped the scroll and walked over to the sand, removing a shuriken.
{ Begin Training Hyouryuu 1/2 }
He concentrated on his hands and left a mark upon the shuriken. It was a little harder with the metal object than it was with the tree, but he appreciated the challenge and the experience it provided. Once done, he stood up and began concentrating on the mark he'd left. He made sure he was able to draw on it's position and then turned and made his way to the middle of the circle of sand at the center of the dome.
Then, he tossed the projectile out over the sand in a slow arc. The goal was to follow it's progress and keep pace, but Saqr realized this was much hrder than he expected. Instead of keeping a constant distance, he gained on the shuriken quickly and then fell too far back when he tried to adjust. At the end of the ark, he sprinted at the falling projectile and caught it easily enough.
{ Continue Training 2/3 }
He wanted to try again from a greater height, so he easily made his way up one of the trees. Testing his skills and his utmost speed, he tossed the shuriken towards the ground. He gave it a spin, knowing that most opponents wouldn't make things easier during a fight. When it reached a safe distance, he jumped from the tree.
It was much harder than he thought in midair. Instead of trailing the object, he fell onto the ground and ended up sprinting after it. In the end, he had to wait until the shuriken to embed itself into the dirt. He walked up to it and retrieved the projectile weakly. He wasn't happy with his this go and knew he could do better.

«T»urning on his heels, Saqr used the same marked shuriken to practice the move again. This time, he decided a higher and fast ark might make things easier and closer to a real opponent. After making quick adjustments to the aiming formula in his head, he tossed the shuriken high across the sand.
Using his full concentration and his link with the marked shuriken, Saqr began trailing the object in the air. As it made it's way over the sand and towards the trees, he kept a perfect distance. He knew that if he was closer, within striking range, when this occurred, he'd easily be able to follow an opponent. Wanting to make sure he could ride it out until the end, he continued trailing the shuriken until it slammed into a tree. Saqr quickly climbed the tree, recovered the projectile, and then dropped.

«A»fter Saqr caught his breath, he made his way back to the pile of scrolls and collapsed next to them. He was definitely getting tired with this all day training, but that was the life of a shinobi for you. He unrolled the scroll for cestus-based style and read the last technique that he was wanting to learn for now. When he'd finished, he put the scroll down and approached the tree that he'd been working into pulp.
{ Begin Training Hibiware 1/2 }
This technique was similar to the very first combat technique he learned in this style. By concentrating and focusing chakra, he'd be able to literally shatter an opponent defense. Or, in the case of inanimate objects, completely destroy them. It would likely mean the death of his tree friend by the end of the training sessions, but that was a small price to pay for eternal knowledge. So, making sure his two clawed gloves were on tight, he readied himself and began focusing the chakra down into his hands.
When he felt he was ready, he hardened the chakra around his hands and pivoted backwards on the balls of his feet. Then, he twirled and pushed his fist deep into the tree. It passed into the bark and the inner wood with little resistance, but nothing exploded. The tree still stood and as Saqr stepped back and shook his punching hand, he felt a little disappointed.
-
Knowing he could do better, he turned to the other side of the tree to start again. Although he could have continued on the same side, he wanted to test his strength against the full force of the tree, not against a section already gaping with holes. So, as he reached the far side, he dropped into a basic fighting stance and focused on the flow of chakra to his hands. He could feel it, like a wave dropping down and then solidifying into something more. After a few more moments, he was ready.
He lunged out at the tree at high speed and faked with his left hand before driving a right lunge deep into the bark. At first, he was stricken that he had failed again, not noticing the cracks that were even now starting to radiate out from his impact. When he did notice, and it didn't take long for him to see the cracks which were now over a meter long, he was overjoyed. He didn't show it, except through an almost imperceptible nod. Happy, he walked back over to the small pile and picked up the reaming scroll. He had more work he could do, but he was exhausted. It was time for a nap, or at least to hold off on training for a while.
So, heading for the exit, he decided it was time to turn the scrolls back in. Maybe after that he'd find out if he was going to be the only Genin in village history without a squad. He moved into the blowing sand of the streets, pulling his robes tight aroud him, and made his way towards the library,
