"Man and Spirit alike tell me I cannot withstand the storm…"
Reaching the Dojo, the two Theo clones wandered in, one setting up in the main training area for Saqr’s training while the other went and grabbed their Mokujin trainer and get it going. The Clone that was to train with Saqr would pull up a chair and wait for the boy, the other would get to work training.
Taking a breath. Theo would have the trainer come at him as hard as it could, punching repeatedly. Theo would just stand parrying each punch, slowly building up speed until it seemed he was moving at the same time as the automaton, brushing away its punches before it could even fire them off. Once he had his warm up finished, the jounin would make a few more shadow clones to help the living puppet in a group attack. (1/5)The first clone would come at Theo with a high kick to his head, the big man would swoop down low, letting the kick start to go over his head, then catch the ankle of the other clone as he slid under it. Standing back up quickly and tilting to the right, Teho would flip the other clone over his shoulders to faceplant into the floor of the dojo before it’d have any chance at reacting, dissipating on impact. (2/5) The next clone came running at Theo punching like mad. Theo would start parrying like crazy like he had during his warm ups as he looked for his opening. As soon as he saw the opening, Theo would parry and catch the next punch at the wrist before stepping in and swinging his arm around the one he’d caught, pressing up with his shoulder. Dropping low, he’d push forward as he burst back up with his legs and hips an turn his spine, causing the clone to flips head first over him and slam to the ground on its back hard, making it dissipate. (3/5) The next clone ran at him and punched, Theo would slip past it, catching it at the wrist with his elbow at the clone’s. Pulling the clone along the line of its punch, Theo rolled the arm over and pressed the clone towards the ground. The clone would base out and try to fight, causing Theo to plant his arm firmly at the clone’s elbow and roll across the clone’s back quickly, bringing the wrist with him to snap its arm backwards, making the clone dissipate. (4/5) Tired of one on one, Theo had the last two clones come at him at the same time. Lucky for theo, the two clones decided to punch with their opposite hands, giving him an idea. Moving toward the punches, he’d catch both arms at the wrist and swing himself down and between the clones, bringing the arms with him. This would cause the clones to both be ripped down and flip onto their backs, Theo finishing them both with a double stomp to the throat. (5/5) Soft Physical Formless: S rank training complete
Switching gears a bi, Theo fed some more chakra to the mokujin trainer and told it to hold its hands up as targets. He’ then start punching at the automaton’s hands, starting with a simple jab, cross combo. As he went, he’d start making up more and more complicated combinations and speeding up his strikes, getting his muscles used to the fast twitch of striking again. (1/5) The jounin would continue running through boxing combos with the mokujin, gradually. Starting off just barely touching he automated puppet’s hands and slowly adding more and more power to the strikes. After a bit, he was hitting the puppet nearly full blast, it’s arms flying back on each strike and it having to reset them before he went to punch again, which was difficult as he picked up his speed to a point that the puppet almost couldn’t keep up with. Once he’d gotten himself good and warmed up, he made a couple shadow clones and got ready for some multiple attacker training. (2/5) When two clones came at him, Theo started off boxing with one as he noticed the other trying to sneak around behind him. Taking mental note of this, he waited til he got the feeling something was coming close and whipped a hard back kick toward the clone behind him, hitting it in the chest and knocking it back into the wall a few feet away. Straight off that kick, he’d pull his knee back in, bounce it off his chest and hit the other clone in front of him square in the stomach, knocking it back and folding it over. He’d then swing his leg around as he jumped, hitting the clone I the side of the head with a jumping wheel kick, sending it spinning and flipping into the wall before dispersing. (3/5) As the other clone he’d kicked was still recovering against the wall, the last Theo clone stepped up and started attacking. The clone would throw a few punches, which the older clone would block hard, sending them flying off at odd angles, before the clone would come around with a roundhouse kick to the ribs. Theo would hollow out so it could go by, then catch it with his right arm before throwing the limb into the air, making the clone flip backwards. Theo would finish this one with a high axe kick to the head, making the clone disperse. (4/5) The clone by the wall had finally shaken off the kick it’d gotten and returned to its feet, charging back at Theo. Theo would meet the clone force on force, stomping at its knee as it blocked and caught the clone’s punch, slamming his forearm through the elbow joint to break the arm as well. As the clone dropped to its knees, he grabbed it by the hair and tugged its head to the side before drilling his fist through the side of its neck, breaking the neck and dispersing the clone.

«S»aqr made his way through the streets and into the huge dome that housed the training areas. When he went inside, he saw two of Theo, which was a little disorientating at first. He shrugged it off and walked over to the one which he assumed would be working with him, the one sitting in the chair and waiting patiently. When he drew near, he pulled on his gloves, the black leather looking crisp and well cared for, and spoke.
"My want is to improve the Pi Qua Quan. Are you amenable?"
By the time he had finished speaking, Saqr stood in front of the clone. He dropped down into his haunches to stare it in the eyes. He didn't know much of clones outside his dismal cloning techniques and, honestly, was a little intrigued about how the training would unroll.
{ Enter from Academy }
Passive: Shindoutaisei [ Impact Resistance ] - Suffers no recoil damage from techniques from any non-Rigorous Taijutsu or Bukijutsu Style up to either the highest trained rank in this Style or the highest trained rank in the Hard Physical Formless Style, whichever is lower, and does not suffer damage from striking anything harder than their fists. Shouten [ Focal Point ] - The user meditates through combat, becoming innately aware of when they are being observed in combat, and can pinpoint the locations of anyone below their rank observing them within one meter. .
Sonyo made her way quickly to the section that held the scrolls for the styles of Taijutsu she could learn. It was time for her to take up something new, something she hadn't tried before. She browsed through the scrolls for some time before something finally caught her attention; a style that fit her to what she felt was a T. The chuunin took the scroll off the shelf and made her way to a private corner to begin training, the blood already pumping through her veins in anticipation.
The first technique mentioned in the scroll was training, more importantly training to prepare her body for the types of techniques she would be learning after. It was a smart thing to start off with, not preparing the body for the impacts and speeds of the style could result in injuries later down the road. Sonyo shed off her sleeves and tied up her hair, then kicked off her boots for the time being. Cracking her knock and loosening up her body, sonyo began the necessary exercises: stretching, box jumps, things of that nature-- exercises that would expose her body to the impacts and also work on the muscles in her lengths to strengthen them. The female took the necessary breaks in between exercises, and made sure she wasn't over exerting herself. Once she felt the burns in her legs sufficiently fade, she then moved on.
o [ 1 // 1 ;; Whirlwind Training complete! ]
The chuunin sat there for some time, staring in disbelief at the next technique: A somersault? It was a basic movement, but something they felt was needed. The female began practicing the movement under the specifications given in the scroll and found she was getting more and more efficient at the movement, being able to somersault from a standstill with no problem or no loss of momentum in the move. Sonyo then had an idea and climbed up on a box, before falling forward and trying to somersault once she hit the ground. The young woman hit the floor hard on her shoulder, letting out a sharp breath. She stood and checked to make sure she didn't hurt herself too bad before trying again. Each try became more and more successful, and soon she was able to somersault after a free fall.
o [ 1 // 1 ;; Somersault Learned! ]
The next technique was some sort of slide attack / evasive movement? Sonyo read over the instructions before moving over to a vaulting table. The first few passes were clumsy, and Sonyo tripped or fell more than once. But the female found that the more she did it, just like most things in life, she got better and better at it. The whirlwind training probably helped tons, seeing as she now had the leg strength to force her whole body up and over the huge block of foam and wood. Sonyo looked around for a dummy and once she found it, moved it in front of the vault. With a small running start, the female vaulted herself over the block and made a solid connection with the dummy, sending the thing toppling over on to the ground. A small noise of celebration escaped from sonyo's mouth, the chuunin smile in exhilaration.
o [ 1 // 1 ;; Power Slide Learned! ]
The next training was called Switchblade, and it would allow her to change directions on a dime if she needed. Sonyo began to train herself, somersaulting first forward, then backwards, then forward again. She did this several times, trying her best to speed up as much as she could with every turn. It took quite some time, but eventually she was able to raise her speed and her agility to satisfactory levels. The chuunin kept up with this training for a while more, just to make the movements as easy as breathing. She didn't want to have to stop and think about doing it mid battle, she wanted it to become something she did instinctively.
o [ 1 // 1 ;; Switchblade completed! ]
The next move was the kickflip, like a normal flip but where one leg stays stationary in order to hit the opponent. Sonyo tried first a few normal flips, frontwards first, in order to get the flipping motion started. She then slowly started using only one foot to flip, using first only the balls off her feet on one leg before completely phasing it out. The movement was fairly fluid and easy to deal with; removing one leg from the equation forced sonyo to swing her leg in order to gain momentum. The chuunin made a note that there was an opportunity for possibly a second kick there. Sonyo then practiced the movement backwards, bringing her foot down instead of up. She found that this was more powerful than the frontwards way.

Feeling that she trained enough for now, the chuunin made her way out of the dojo and made her way towards the Kazekage's office, adjusting her cloak as she walked.

Yuna entered the dojo and headed over reading the various scrolls looking for a style she liked. She wore a jian sword, she picked it up because no one wanted it and that attracted her to it. Hopefully she could find a style that fit it.
Finding one she wanted to try she walked over to the open area and placed her hand on her still sheathed sword. She gripped the handle as she quickly unsheathed it and striked, the move being one continuous motion. She sheathed the sword, not a bad move but more to learn.
Iaidō 1/1
The next one needed an opponent attacking her, so she would just have to imagine it as she didn't know any clone jutsu. When the person attacked she drew her blade quickly knocking what would be there arm overhead and shoving with back with an open palm press of the other before quickly sheathing the blade. She did that a few more times to get the pattern down before being satisfied.
A Decade of Peace 1/1
The next move she pulled out her sword and held it with both hands. Then holding it above her head she lept into the air and bringing the sword down with a hard swing. She pulled back right before it hit the ground not wanting to damage the dojo.
Ryūtsuisen [ Dragon Hammer Strike ] 1/1
The next jutsu was the main focus of the style. She focused on the blade as she needed to pour chakra into it, the chakra seeped out of her hand and moved up the blade before failing. With a sigh she would try it again.
Chakra Scabbard 1/4
This time she put both hands on the blade hoping to improve the focus. The chakra was able to fully cover the blade but couldn't maintain its form and dissipated. At least it made it all the way she though.
Chakra Scabbard 2/4
With both hands again she had the chakra cover the blade and it began to hum and dance around the blade. She held it for awhile as she swung the sword and it was still active. Yuna deactivated it and was ready to try one handed.
Chakra Scabbard 3/4
This time with one hand she held the sword and repeating the process as chakra covered the blade and began to form a constant beam. She swung it a few times before turning it off and putting it away. With a deep breath she sat down and relaxed a bit before trying more
Yuna started up again, she walked over to a training dummy and held her sword to work on the new jutsu. She felt the chakra fill her body and performed a fast upward strike. It wasn't as fast at the jutsu required so she had to keep trying.
Turning Swallow Cut 1/4
Yuna held her sword tight as she had the chakra fill her body once more preparing for the attack. She swung the sword faster this time, but still too slow and not as precise. Yuna relaxed feeling she needs to focus more.
Turning Swallow Cut 2/4
She filled her body with chakra once more as she swung with the speed required but was off on the swing. She was proud of the speed so she swung a few more times getting use to the speed alone before moving on to precision. After getting the speed down it was time to work on the final part.
Turning Swallow Cut 3/4
Focusing on the way she wanted to sword to swing, she focused chakra in her body and swung the sword at an upward angle. The swing was both fast and accurate giving the blade a deadly attack. Doing it a couple more times Yuna got it down and relaxed a bit, chakra and stamina at the same time was tough.
Turning Swallow Cut 4/4
Yuna took her sword and jumped into the air stabbing downwards as she fell. She hit the ground and lost her footing and fell to the ground. She stood back up and dusted herself off to try again.
Yuna jumped into the air and stabbed back down as she didn't make the blade straight and it tipped over when hitting the floor. Making sure her blade was ok she dusted off to try it again. But this time she was going to get it for sure.
Yuna jumped in the air, hands tight on the grip as she stabbed into the ground landing perfectly. Any normal person would have a hard time recovering. She cleaned off her sword and moved on.
Yuna sheathed her sword to continue her next jutsu. She drew it and attacked fast as she forgot to follow with the scabbard. She sheathed the blade to try it again.
Twin Dragon Strike 1/3
Yuna unsheathed her sword and attacked with lightning speed. She followed up with a swing from the scabbard but misgripped it and sluggishly swung it. she sheathed her sword having to retry it.
Twin Dragon Strike 2/3
Yuna unsheathed her sword and attack and one motion and gripping the scrabbard followed up with a second attack from it that would stun or confuse the opponent. She sheathed the sword and did it a few more times to get the motion down. Satisfied she sheathed it and moved on.
Twin Dragon Strike 3/3
Yuna unsheathed the sword and held both the scabbard and sword like two swords. Swinging the scabbard like a sword she followed up with a sword strike. the combo was off she she took a position and tried it again.
Twin Dragon Strike: Lightning 1/3
Yuna swung the scabbard and then stabbed with the sword, it was still a little off. She tried swinging just the scabbard getting the feel of that down before moving on. Once that was fixed she took a stance and went to finish.
Twin Dragon Strike: Lightning 2/3
Yuna swung the scabbard and then followed with a sword strike and back into a scabbard swing and continued the combo til she got the motion down. Satisfied she sheathed her sword and put it back on her belt. She took a breather having finished a stage of the style and needing to relax.
Yuna held out her sword and focused chakra into it. But with no real shape in mind nothing happened at all. She closed her eyes and though for a moment what she wanted.
Form Manipulation 1/5
Yuna forced more chakra in and the weapon was covered in it before disappearing. She was able to cover it, which was a start. But she needed to expand pass the physical form.
Form Manipulation 2/5
Yuna forced the chakra in and it began to form outside the blade expanding. It stretched further out before collapsing on the weight. Shaking the sword she held it out to try again.
Form Manipulation 3/5
The chakra covered the blade and stretched out forming a spear with the sword as the base. It tried to maintain the form but dissipated. With focus in her eyes she tried once more.
Form Manipulation 4/5
The chakra sprung forth and created a beautiful lance made of pure chakra. Yuna stabbed it into the ground to make sure it was solid, and spun it. She turned it back to a normal sword as she was happy to the results.
Form Manipulation 5/5
Yuna held the sword at shoulder level and stabbed forward. She did this a few more times to get the feeling down. After she was done she lowered the sword and prepared the next step.
Drying Pole 1/5
Holding the sword up she stabbed forward and filled the blade with chakra. Though filled it didn't do anything and soon dissipated. After a bit of relax she was about to try again.
Drying Pole 2/5
Filling the blade with chakra she stabbed forward and a tiny bit of chakra stretched out. It wasn't much but it was a start. Keeping her focus she pressed onward.
Drying Pole 3/5
Continuing the motion the blade stretched out even further but seem to collapse. She tried it again as it streched a little bit further but had the same problem. With resolve she would only need one more try.
Drying Pole 4/5
With focus he stabbed forward and the chakra shot out like a beam. It retracted back and she sheathed the blade getting tired of holding it. she let out a sigh as she pushed onward.
Drying Pole 5/5
Yuna activated her chakra scabbard as she swung her blade. It didn't do anything but cut the air like a normal sword. She kept the scabbard activated as she tried again.
Pressure Wave 1/5
She swung the sword as it just put out the chakra scabbard like a match. Yuna activated it again as it went away with each use. She needed to make it work, this time for sure.
Pressure Wave 2/5
Yuna swung the sword, causing a small wave to come out. It wasn't big and didn't travel far. It was like a snowball, it was kinda cute. But she needed it to work.
Pressure Wave 3/5
Yuna activated the chakra scabbard and she swung the blade and a wave came out but faded too quickly. She activated it again ready to give it one more go. With a deep breath she pushed forward.
Pressure Wave 4/5
With a focus gaze she swung the blade and sent a wave of chakra out. The attack traveled far and would do damage. Yuna sheathed the sword and sat down. She was getting wore out.
Yuna activated her chakra scabbard and she swung her sword a few times to get the feeling down. This continued for several times to get the feeling just right. She could deliver two strikes whereever and needed to prepare for all situations
Two As One 1/7
Yuna continued to swing her sword, doing different moves for all situations. This move was universal and needed to be able to do whatever she wanted. With a deep breath she was ready to start trying.
Two As One 2/7
With the next attack about to strike yuna swung her sword and tried to have the chakra attack too. But nothing came out, just a normal sword swing. Yuna prepared to focus as this would be hard work.
Two As One 3/7
Yuna swung her sword and a chakra blade followed after the next strike. But it did little damage and was weak. Putting more chakra into the blade she tried for the next move.
Two As One 4/7
Yuna swung her blade and another strike came with it. Made of chakra it matched the first strike, this was the simplest of the moves. Doing that a few more times she got it down but needed to do more.
Two As One 5/7
This time Yuna tried a stabbing motion and the chakra blade followed. She did that a few more times getting use to that. Almost finishing up the move she had to put it all together.
Two As One 6/7
This time Yuna sliced and the chakra scabbard did a stabbing motion. Switching it up she did a stab and the chakra sabered waved. The two front combo was very deadly.
Two As One 7/7
Yuna grabbed a replacement sword as this next move would destroy weapons. She worked on the basic move of swinging the sword overhead. She did this several times getting the motion down.
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ] 1/7
Yuna continued swinging until she got it perfect. The speed, the strength, all of them were on par. She held the sword tight as she moved on to the second phase.
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ] 2/7
Yuna focued on putting chakra into the blade. The amount of chakra was much more then normal. She continued to pour chakra into the blade for the attack.
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ] 3/7
Yuna now sung the sword with the infused chakra. But the power wasn't there, just a normal chakra swing. She poured more chakra in and she readyed her next attack.
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ] 4/7
Yuna continued to pour chakra in, getting use to how much really needed to be in there. She put enough in to where it would almost burst. Now it was ready for the move.
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ] 5/7
Yuna sung the sword a few times getting use to the weight of the chakra in the sword. She adjusted to the weight as she reabsorbed the chakra to do it in one move. After this she could go and get some rest.
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ] 6/7
Yuna held the sword high above her head as she swung the sword down with all her strength. The sword was chakra infused and swung with enough destructive power to destroy the blade. She tossed the handle to the side and cleaned up the pieces as she lef and headed back to the academy.
๑๑๑๑Letting out a whistle as he entered the building, Hideo's eyes bounced around the large domed area, pipes bulging all around it. Finding an area all to his own, he decided to get to it after finding the scroll he needed. Setting it in front of him open he pulled his katana out and got in the official stance. He'd had some formal training with the sword a bit with his dad, so he was hoping this would come naturally. He viewed the first three E-rank techniques as a basic series of movements. After reading for a bit, he nodded with confidence. Sword to his side he first brought it up swiftly and stabbed the training dummy in front of him. The thrust force was swift yet sturn, stabbing the would yet allowing him to pull back quickly. It was the second step that was here.[Basic Stab] 1/1
Quickly, he retreated backwards from striking the dummy. Then he took one rapid step forward. The movement was quick, succinct, and difficult to track. Hideo's knack for bukijutsu was starting to show slightly, and next was something that came rather easy to a Hyuuga. [Linear Step] 1/1
Stepping back Hideo brought the sword up and to his dominant side, slowly bringing it over his body to the other. As he did this, he released chakra quickly over the blade, the chakra becoming visible for a moment before fading from view. As he held the weapon he noticed it wasn't any heavier when this was done. He wouldn't have to compensate for the chakra, which was good. [Reinforcement] 1/1
Continuing with the scroll, he brought his katana to attention once more and this time coated only the flat outer side of the katana in chakra. Purposely glancing one of the practice dummy's various strike logs, he watched following through as the wood and side of the blade were close but remained untouched. Not satisfied, the genin performed the maneuver again. [Deflection] 1/2
This time the move was swift, the chakra coating process was near instant. The first time it seemed to be more gradual, however he was learning that in battle he wouldn't have that lurxury. Performaing as he had once more, he watched the wood glance air rather than his weapon. As the maneuver finished, he backed up a couple feet feeling he was getting to the meat of the style. [Deflection] 22
Rushing the practice dummy and aiming for one of the wooden prongs with a metal end meant to sustain blade attacks, Hideo forced the blade in and up into the metal, sparks flying for a quick second as he stabbed up into the chest piece of the dummy. With a nod, he backed up once more. It would be more useful in combat than in practice, but it was nice to know. [Forward Grind] 1/1
Rushing the dummy again, Hideo quickly pivoted to parry a faux strike from the dummy's left. Using the pivot as a method of generating energy to counterattack, he performed the Basic Stab move in quick succession, this time its strength increasing slightly as he pulled the katana out of the dummy once more. "I think I'm getting the hang of this," he said aloud to himself in affirmation. "Alright, lets move on to the tougher stuff." [Pivot Block] 1/1
The first technique was interesting, requiring the person to almost embellish on what they have learned. It seemed he was supposed to show some technical prowess with the katana and move with enough grace to seem to move in a flash. Readying himself, he began. As the name of the technique suggested, Hideo took a chance to 'draw' with the sword, swinging it with his right hand quickly at his side. Then in an instant, he flicked his wrist and swung it back into place. As his grip tightened, he moved to strike the dummy again. The glancing strike was thin and precise, but clearly not as strong. No matter however, the speed more than made up for it. [Calligraphy] 1/1
Next was something he hadn't realized he could accomplish. "Hmmm, another six inches on my blade unseen would be great." Holding the blade up and out on his dominant side, Hideo concentrated as chakra welled up at the tip. He had indeed formed an elongated blade, but as clear as day there were two problems. First, was the speed it was created at was painfully slow. The second, was that because of this the chakra was still visible. He had to try again. [Extension] 1/3
In the same position the young genin tried his hand at manipulating the chakra again. A blade formed quickly this time, however it wasn't fast enough. Furthermore, he could tell because there was a half second flash of the color of his chakra. He needed to think of this as a quick expoltion of chakra that is quickly molded, not an already molded construct. He'd get it this time, at least he hoped. [Extension] 2/3
Reading himself, Hideo took a deep breath in before narrowing his eyes. Instantly, he released chakra in a fluid burst then molded it to affix to the end of the katana as an extension. Being invisible to the naked eye, he wondered if he'd done it. Reaching out with the weapon, he felt an invisible end reach the practice dummy and a bit beyond. The extension was absolutely there. With a smile, he decided to continue with the momentum he had going. [Extension] 3/3
Widening his stance quickly, Hideo kicked a bit of dirt up as he attempted to plant himself with absolute assurance to the ground. Instead however, he slid his right foot out to far, causing his leg to splay out and him to fall over. As his katana clanged on top of him he groaned. Pushing himself slowly up off the ground and grabbing his katana, Hideo decided to try again. [Solid Footing] 1/3
Starting from a zero point position with his feet together, Hideo took a breath in. Sliding his right foot out quickly, he stopped short of where he did before by about eight inches. This time his stance felt secure, however he could tell there was some room for improvement. Dusting himself off as he brought himself to the opening position, he went for perfection. [Solid Footing] 2/3
In the zero position once more Hideo began to move. Quickly, his right leg stretched outwards and stopped sharp. His stance felt right, low centered and completely firm on the ground. Even the way he held his katana felt perfectly symmetrical to his body. His lines were perfect, and with a sense of pride he went to the next technique. [Solid Footing] 3/3
Reading the second technique, it seemed odd in nature but interesting. The goal was to form a chakra blade completely separate from the original, acting as its shadow, a twin to the first. That part seemed simple. It was spacing it so that the timing of the strike varied according to preference that seemed like the difficulty here. Cracking either side of his neck Hideo positioned himself in front of the practice dummy getting in the striking position. [Twin Blade] 1/3
Raising his sword and slashing, Hideo created a full length chrakra blade which followed the first quickly. Learning the technique Reinforcement helped him visualize the exact size and length needed. The only that changed in this instance was density, and that much he learned from the earlier Extension technique. He was starting to see how everything came together. The chakra blade stuck almost immediately after, flecks of wood sprouting up when it did. "Now to work on the odd part," he muttered to himself as he went back to the attack position. [Twin Blade] 2/3
Hideo attacked once more, this time forming the blade slightly farther away from the original. The delay increased as expected, and he continued the strike again and again, adjusting its distance each time. With each variation in distance and therefore time, he noticed the farthest he could get was a full second before the technique lost effectiveness. He'd have to keep that in mind in the future. [Twin Blade] 3/3
Sheathing his katana, Hideo walked over to one of the thinner practice beams. Hopping up on it, he moved back and forth quickly on it, even hopping once or twice in either direction and changing which way he faced, Unsheathing his katana on the one inch wide platform, Hideo found after most of his training that day he was able to maneuver quickly with sword drawn with confidence on the small space. Sheathing the katana, he hopped up onto the wire track above. Although he was able to traverse, it was clear fighting on it would be another thing entirely. He'd have to get better at something like that. Hopping down onto the ground, he went back to the practice dummy. [Thread Walking] 1/1
The next technique was more mental than physical. He needed to place himself in a mental state that promoted a use of speed and strength that was immediate and powerful. Getting into the ready position, Hideo began to clear his mind [Advance of Steel] 1/4
He first focused on his muscles, tensing them and coiling them. He wanted them primed to strike, to allow for his movements which followed to have speed and power behind them. Potential energy was the name of the game here, and it went without saying that he would need to be able to call upon this potential energy and turn it into kinetic energy for every technique that would follow after. [Advance of Steel] 2/4
Eyes closed, Hideo began to clear all thoughts away. He used a technique his father had taught him during their morning meditations. First he did away with surface thoughts, then slowly one-by-one he got rid of anything else until there was nothing but white noise. His mind was still, and honed for what was to come next. [Advance of Steel] 3/4
As his eyes opened, his senses in all aspects seemed to sharpen. He moved on the training dummy quickly, his pace quickened and maintained that way thanks to the coiling of his muscles beforehand. His strikes on the dummy were deep and hard, splintering began to happen quickly and it grew somewhat unstable. With a nod and backing off the dummy, he would continue with this momentum. [Advance of Steel] 4/4
The next technique was more about form than function. Once more Hideo closed his eyes and stood in the ready position. His mind seemed to flash back through all of his formal strike training with the katana. [Brush Stroke] 1/5
Striking with the katana was an art in and of itself of precision. It wasn't about the strike itself, but the follow through with it. He practiced slowly the five basic strike zones eyes still closed. It was muscle memory that began to guide his attacks, [Brush Stroke] 2/5
He began to notice as he practiced the fluidity of his movements. They no longer felt forced, but merely like second nature. The blade was becoming an extension of his body, not just a tool in his grasp. With this knowledge of the sword he'd gained through training, he was becoming more than just a boy with a sword. [Brush Stroke] 3/5
Hideo continued practicing the strike zones, this time ramping up the speed with which he practiced them. Each time he reached the end of the five poses, he began again and sped it up even more. Each time he did this he gained a better grasp on just how much faster he had become. At last, it was time to attempt the technique. [Brush Stroke] 4/5
Taking all of his knowledge of the concept of the strike itself, Hideo attacked the practice dummy at full speed. Running through the paces of the five beginning strikes, he performed them in rapid succession, one after the other blindingly fast. His speed was not only spectacular, but the strength of his attacks was as well. He was no longer sacrificing strength for speed, but gaining both in unison. He was utilizing technique to the utmost of his abilities, and feeling confident doing it. With a nod of affirmation, Hideo sheathed his katana, He needed a quick break, so he rested in the corner with his eyes closed for a bit. [Brush Stroke] 5/5
๑๑๑๑After some time spent resting and rehydrating, Hideo stood up and stretched for a bit. The dojo had no clocks, and although he didn't now what time it was he knew he'd been there for at least two days and one night. All around his concept of time was completely skewed, he speculated that perhaps he was in his third day and two nights in the dojo but decided he'd rather keep training than find out. So after some stretching and breathing, Hideo stood and unsheathed his katana, walking towards the practice dummy and readying himself for more brutal training.
Going towards the practice dummy, Hideo turned on the mechanized arms used for practicing blocks and parries. As they moved quickly, He got into the swing of this by first practicing blocks. Then it was parries which came next. Feeling confident in getting his defending speed up to normal, he moved on. [Disarm] 1/4
Next Hideo armed the dummy, giving it a katana for him to practice disarming. As the dummy moved through the five elementary strikes, he moved around the strikes before attempting to disarm on the last one. The first attempt was rather unsuccessful to say the least. Had it not been for moving at the last second, he would have ended up stabbing himself. Instead, he received a shallow cut on his sword arm as blood dripped down. [Disarm] 2/4
He tried again, this time paying close attention to the movement of the other blade. As the last strike came the genin attempted to disarm, latching his katana under the dummy's scabbard and pulling hard. Then an issue arose. As he pulled he'd successfully disarmed the dummy, however the trajectory of the katana was headed right back at him. With quick reflexes Hideo dodged what was essentially an attack on himself. Heaving a sigh, he went to retrieve the katana and place it back on the dummy to try again. [Disarm] 3/4
This time Hideo seemed confident in his abilities. He knew the strikes, he knew how to disarm, it just came down to trajectory. Dodging the first four strikes, on the fifth he reacted quickly. The disarm was neat and clean, the katana spinning out of the dummy's grip and landing stuck into the tatami mat behind him. He made note of directing the disarmed weapon where he wanted it to go, to make it difficult for the opponent to get to it. Satisfied, he moved on. [Disarm] 4/4
The next technique was an improvement on the Twin Blade technique, and being chakra based he felt it would be well within his wheelhouse to learn. First, he practiced the original technique on the training dummy. He wanted to get a feel for the technique and how he was to proceed with making more than one chakra blade. [Hydra Strike] 1/5
His first attempt at the technique was anything but perfect. The first strike after the katana was as usual fine. However once the second and subsequent third were supposed to come through, there was nothing. He needed to focus on the chakra aspect more. [Hydra Strike] 2/5
At the second attempt, there was improvement albeit with little to no success. While the second and third chakra constructs were created, they weren't as durable as the first and in that respect the katana. He could feel them break on contact with the dummy. Something wasn't right, he needed to change the way he operated. [Hydra Strike] 3/5
He was beginning to get the concept down, and this time managed to make both secondary blades as strong as the original. He watched as extra cuts were made into the dummy, as deep as the first two. What he needed to work on now was the speed with which the technique on the whole was performed. [Hydra Strike] 4/5
Taking a ready position, this time Hideo performed the technique at full speed. Not wasting any time with it, the strikes came quickly and one after the other. They served to entirely cleave one of the practice dummy's arms off with how many strikes were performed back to back. With this out of the way, Hideo pushed on. [Hydra Strike] 5/5
The next technique was something Hideo had been looking forward to learning. Speed was the name of the game here, and it made use of being so blindingly quick with the blade that an attack of opportunity was made. In essence, he could strike twice in the time it took most to strike once. It was something he'd seen his father practice, and therefore was eager to show his proficiency with. [Illusory Double] 1/5
First, Hideo practiced getting the speed of the initial strike down. The stab had to be swift, and yet the second strike was faster still. So to him, it was imperative to be able to attack quickly the first time. After all, if he could ensure a successful first attack, the second would be a bonus. [Hydra Strike] 2/5
Next he worked on attacking in rapid succession with another stab after the first. What he mainly concentrated on was precision with the second attack to come. He needed to be able to perform it quickly, but just as well with enough accuracy to adjust to any attack position he wished it to be. This alone took quite some time, but was mastered soon enough. [Hydra Strike] 3/5
It was at this point the speed of the second attack was improved upon, proving to be more difficult than anticipated. The speed that was required was near impossible to muster, let alone after already striking quickly. There was something about this technique he wasn't getting, and it began to frustrate him. In an effort to figure it out, Hideo took a mental break to think everything over. [Hydra Strike] 4/5
After a couple of minutes, Hideo had an 'A-ha' moment. It was the split second of stored potential energy being converted upon recoil and the split second before the second strike that he needed to focus on. It was with this energy that the speed would come the way he figured it. And as he focused on this method more and more, the better he got at it. Finally, he had an attempt that even surprised himself. If it weren't for him knowing where he intended to strike, he wouldn't have even seen the second attack. It was incredible, something in his arsenal that had the potential to end a conflict as quickly as it began. [Hydra Strike] 5/5
The last technique he needed to learn here was how to sheath and acquire different bladed weapons back to back mid battle. To be able to do this was crucial to someone who intended to have more than one katana, or even as an attempt to throw off the opponent with a small bladed weapon. First, he went into sheathing quickly. [Swordslinger] 1/4
It wasn't as easy it seemed to sheath a katana efficiently and quickly. In fact, most of the time the way it was done had steps to take beforehand. However, this type of movement and the speed required didn't allow for the flowery method with which it was usually done. After some practice however, Hideo was able to get his sheathing time down pat. [Swordslinger] 2/4
Next he worked on sheathing and then grabbing a kunai. For ease and to increase the speed with which it was done, Hideo sheathed with his right hand and attempted to pull a kunai with his left. His first few attempts were shaky at best, the first time in particular he actually dropped the kunai. However, slowing down the movements and practicing with his eyes closed to notice where each weapon was helped with muscle memory. He felt confident now that he could do both without issue. [Swordslinger] 3/4
Quickly, Hideo performed the technique. Sheathing his katana he simultaneously pulled his kunai from his leg holster and attacked the dummy with it. The ease with which this was done was immense, and the speed was perfect. It was a great way to change things up in close quarters and keep the enemy on their toes. [Swordslinger] 4/4
"Phew!" Hideo grinned as he tidied up where he had been practicing, sheathing his tools and returning the scroll from where he got it. He'd done a lot of training in the past few days, and now he aimed to get a bit more done before this one was done. "Well, I guess it's time for me to get down to business" he said to himself as he returned to another area of the dojo. There were a few bloodline techniques he needed to get out of the way, and he figured while he was here he might as well.
๑๑๑๑Clan techniques were difficult, but the first of them came easy to Hideo. The open palmed thrust was a quick and precise motion, meant to cause internal damage via a burst of chakra. This was something he didn't need his Byakugan active to do, but rather precision and chakra control. Taking the opening stance, Hideo thrust his palm forward and a burst of chakra was emitted at the fulcrum of the attack. Satisfied, he pressed forward. [Shōtei] 1/1 [Gentle Fist] 1/20
Next he began to get into the meat of his bloodline. He moved to an area with a chakra dummy, a practice tool able to withstand chakra laden attacks. Forcing a single seal, his dojutsu activated as he muttered, "Byakugan." His vision intensified, the information he received was immense but he was able to process it. [Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm] 1/4 [Gentle Fist] 1/20
The first attempt at the attack was ill fated. Forcing his palm forward, Hideo neglected to create a vacuum effect with his chakra. Instead, his chakra was expelled outwards and threw him back onto the ground. This simply would not do, he needed to fix this. [Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm] 2/4 [Gentle Fist] 2/20
In this attempt the vacuum effect was attained, however it was the speed at which it came that was the issue. He needed it to be quick and immediate, something an opponent had little to no time to react to. Cracking his fingers, Hideo went back to the drawing board to try again. [Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm] 3/4 [Gentle Fist] 3/20
The last attempt was a far greater success. The speed at which the vacuum palm was performed was accurate, and the chakra dummy splintered from the inside out. It was a dangerous technique when used correctly, and Hideo was glad to know it. [Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm] 4/4 [Gentle Fist] 4/20
Next was something Hideo found to be interesting, yet somewhat difficult. It was one thing to be able to create a jutsu. However, to be able to expel chakra in its raw from from so far away seemed like an incredible ability to possess. Stepping back a couple of meters from the dummy, Hideo dipped his body low into an open ready position. [Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body] 1/4 [Gentle Fist] 5/20
His first attempt resulted in utter failure. His chakra seemed to backfire, emitting a popping noise and singing Hideo's palm in the process. "Ouch!" he said aloud as he frantically shook his hand. Once the burning ceased he took a look at it. There were clear chakra burns in a radial pattern, but it didn't deter him from continuing. [Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body] 2/4 [Gentle Fist] 6/20
On the second, Hideo was able to send his chakra forward far enough to in fact hit the dummy. However, the effect on it was minimal. He'd failed to put the power behind the jutsu necessary for it to be useful to him on the field, and thus decided to go again. [Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body] 3/4 [Gentle Fist] 7/20
Low and steady, Hideo thrust his palm out quickly. In moments the dummy had a visible amount of dust around an impact point kick up, and it was bent back to the ground with splintering and cracking heard before it slowly rose back to its original position. The jutsu was effective, and he was eager to see what it could do in battle. [Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body] 4/4 [Gentle Fist] 8/20
The next technique was something he learned of orally from his visit to Konoha to the clan household. It was something that was not written anywhere, only taught and passed down from one member to the next. Readying his body Hideo bent low and placed his hands out. This was going to be fun. [Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin] 1/4 [Gentle Fist] 9/20
The first task was the most difficult, expelling chakra from all existing tenketsu. He had to do it not only from each one at once, but with equal chakra output from them as well. With an audible bursting sound, his tenketsu let out chakra all at the same time. The issue didn't arise from that aspect, but rather maintaining equal output throughout. He could feel an imbalance in chakra when he did it and feared if he had begun to spin he'd send himself flying. [Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin] 2/4 [Gentle Fist] 10/20
Resuming his beginning position Hideo let out chakra from all chakra points once more. This time everything was correct, output was level and also steady. This was ultimately the step which guided the rest of the technique. Now all he needed to do was add the final touches. [Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin] 3/4 [Gentle Fist] 11/20
Bending low Hideo allowed chakra to flow from every chakra point and instantly began spinning, sliding his right foot out and rotating. He began slow at first and quickly ramped up the speed, the chakra helping to cause him to spin like a top. A torrent of wind and debris rose around him as a deep cerulean dome of chakra surrounded him. As he came to a stop, he found he'd put a small crate in the earth around him. He grinned with pride. This was considered the true mark of coming of age to a Hyuuga. It was the first step in truly understanding the Byakugan. [Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin] 4/4 [Gentle Fist] 12/20
Next was yet another clan marker. He had practiced the stance and form well while visiting family, and he had learned the jabs as well. Now however, he needed to actually attempt it and with the speed it required. [Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms] 1/4 [Gentle Fist] 13/20
First Hideo started with his dominant leg out and palms open together in front of him. Then he stretched his dominant leg out in front of him, coiling his body back and crouching low. He rose both hands slowly, his right out in front of him and open horizontally, his other the same but behind him palm facing down. [Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms] 2/4 [Gentle Fist] 14/20
His range of motion was incredible, he felt limber and able to cover the range with which the attack allowed him to. He could see in his mind's eye the daoist pattern on the ground, the yin & yang in the middle. With a steady inhale, Hideo ran through the technique for the first time at full speed. [Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms] 3/4 [Gentle Fist] 15/20
He was a natural, striking the dummy with two simultaneous horizontal jabs. "Two strikes." Then he struck again, once on each tenketsu near the pectoral muscles. "Four." Hideo struck again rapidly in the middle of the torso with four jabs. "Eight." Recoiling his hands he struck with a ferocious quickness again, this time with eight strikes in various locations. "Sixteen." The Hyuuga unleashed the final torrent of blows, sixteen pin-point accurate jabs to the torso of the dummy on the whole. His speed was incredible, the dummy by this point was being beaten into the wall behind it, splintering it slightly as cracks formed. "Eight Trigrams, thirty-two palms!" He'd performed the opening gambit to his clan's most powerful taijutsu, and with complete accuracy as well. Now, it was time to move onto the next level of that technique. [Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms] 4/4 [Gentle Fist] 16/20
Cracking his neck Hideo moved onto the next training dummy, this time one farther away but still within the range of the attack. Inhaling and exhaling to himself, he readied himself for his next attempt. The attack was daunting, and something he wondered if he would have the same success he had with the last one. [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] 1/6
Beginning the ritual again, Hideo started from a neutral position to start the stance. First both hands rose with palms out and together, dominant leg in front. He then stretched it further and crouched, allowing his arms to go to the ready position for the attack. [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] 2/6
His keen eyes took in all the information around his body. He could see the trigram in his mind's eye, he felt able to reach any point within it with ease. In this manner he knew his full range of divination, and smirked. Coiled and ready to go, he began the attack. [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] 3/6 [Gentle Fist] 17/20
This technique was slightly different in its beginning when it came to closing large distances. It took a cue in fact from the heavenly rotation technique, using a spinning or turning motion to close the gap. It was something akin to what a figure skater did in order to leap and twirl, however this didn't involve the jump but rather forward momentum in that respect. [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] 4/6 [Gentle Fist] 18/20
His first strikes began as usual, two horizontally above one another perfectly. One strike to the middle where the collarbone met, the other to near the belly button. He moved onto the next two strikes, then four, then eight, then sixteen. However instead of stopping here, he began to initiate the next barrage. [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] 5/6 [Gentle Fist] 19/20
"Thirty two palms." He struck again with the full force of another consecutive thirty-two strikes, but with even more speed. The training dummy slammed into the wall and this time began to break through, fracturing the wall entirely behind hit more and more with each strike. "Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!" The final strike was a hooked sideways jab with his left hand, and right under it an opened palm which pushed the dummy away. Smoke began to clear in the area and Hideo brushed himself off. He'd done it, as far as his clan was concerned he was as proficient as any other Hyuuga. Walking out of the dojo towards the academy, He decided perhaps it was time he did something leisurely, however more training was on his mind. [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] 6/6 [Gentle Fist] 20/20
Yuna picked up the shield she had custom order and held it in her hand. She swung it around getting use to the weight of it. Holding onto it she liked the feel of it and wore it on her arm as she started
Formless medium Shield: 1/3
Yuna raised the shield up fast, doing that over and over to get use to having to use it fast. She also practiced blocking behind her back on the same side to get use to blocking at that 180 degrees. Letting out a breath she wiped some sweat off her head as this was tiring.
2/3
Yuna held the sheild up as she practiced pivoting to be able to block on the now shielded side. She practiced high and low blocks and just being able to react when needed. Yuna placed the shield behind her back and attached it as she moved on to more training.
3/3
Yuna started by bouncing up and down, working on her foot work to practice dodging. She jumped to the side, then jumped to the other, ducked, jumped back and practiced. With a deep breath she relaxed as she moved on.
Soft Physical 1/3
Yuna practiced parrying by swinging her hand to knock away attacks and hitting limbs to avoid the direct hit. She was going to use her shield for blocks and if she couldn't block she needed to be able to dodge or parry. Covering all bases was important.
2/3
Yuna put it all together jumping and sweeping and parrying her shadow opponent. It was physically exerting, she felt you ether use your muscles for blocking or running. After her workout she sat down and took a drink of water, tiring.
Yuna took the shield off her back and attached it to her arm as she pumped chakra in making the shield stronger then it was before. She hit it a few times to test its durability and was happy with it. Yuna released the chakra and it was a regular shield. But still strong.
Reinforcement 1/1
Yuna held the shield up like she was blocking and practiced shoving a person back after an attack. It might have been better with an actual opponent but she was alone so her mind was her enemy. After a few tries she got it down.
Damien walked through the training grounds to find a good spot that him and his new sensei would be able to train together. He couldn't believe that he was going to be training with Bast. He decided that instead of waiting that he would begin, though he was kinda weary cause he did mention combat training. He leaned against a training post and placed his palms together, he wanted to move the chakra from one arm to the other; it was going to take some concentration on his part. He pressed them together and imagined utilizing a jutsu, though he didn't see anything physical... he did see the glow from one hand. He was almost there...
[[ 1 // 5 Basic Training Meditate ]]
Damien shook out his hands and exhaled, he wanted to make sure that he was going to get this right before Bast got there. He sat down on the ground finally and closed his eyes, he thought about his own chakra system. Being a medical shinobi, it was important to know how to control his own chakra to make sure that he was gong to hit the vital points on the human frame. He pressed his palms together once again and thought about weaving the handsigns again. He felt a small spark on his finger tips but nothing physical.
