Raku watched as Jae took the moment to bring out a crimson fluid which subsequently began to rise and shape itself into a crystalline crimson blade. It was a unique thing to look upon but it was something that was rather similar to his own. Raki moved his feet gingerly, while it darkened into a blade. Unfortunately for her, he didn't require near as much prep as she. Nor did he require many of those burdensome signs. His own unique talents sprang forth, as blackened steel began to surface about either of his arms. She made her own move rather simple, something to be expected of many fighters with little background with weapons. Rather than worry about the weapons meeting, Rakuin simply made due with bringing his own steel coated arm in the path of the blade.
While Raki made his efforts to actually capture the bizarre blade of blood, Tetsu stepped gingerly in a loop to avoid the girl, before coming in for a charge from the right simply meant to knock her down.

The weapon he had formed shocked her. Same manner in which she had, less hassle. Jae studied the armor with a thoughtful expression. She had something similar as well. Their bloodlines were very similar...it was a little creepy. This unsettling thought surfaced on her expressions, Jae showing them for the world to see without realizing it. It was Tetsu's charge that woke her up from her pensive distress and she maneuvered back a small step, giving her a time buffer while she made hand signals. Even with a sword in her hand it was possible, although cumbersome. The winds churned around her and she focused the energies on her leg. In one quick, fluent kick she aimed it at the approaching Tetsu. The pressure released was stronger than the impact. Jae didn't want to use that much power in the kick but she was no master at controlling her futon energies yet. The winds spiraled out of control in Tetsu's general direction, uprooting the soil around her aim. "s**t!" She barked, bending her knees slightly and disappearing. Body flicker Was an insanely costly move. She wasn't 100% yet, the wounds she had succumbed to from the ambush were still sore. They pulled uncomfortably around her mid section and her legs. Still, she had the speed she needed to appear at a slight angle to throw herself at the sheep and knock it out of the path from her mistake.
Reflex and instinct made her fight as if this were life or death. Jae rolled a few times and pushed herself away and upright, getting on her feet in a very ungraceful manner. "I'm training you! Not the sheep! Seriously! That's your responsibility not mine. Don't involve the tyke in this." Jae's temper flared. She didn't like hurting companions. Hence the reason she practically refused to use her summons. Panting, from adrenalin, she held up her weapon defensively. Her gaze was sharper and the blue in her eyes was much darker.

Jae wasn't quite aware of what it was to utilize the steel release, it seemed. Her blade had met his arm, and almost seemed lost in thought at some point. The rampaging hooves seemed to have snapped her out of it, and she'd taken the last moment to step back and form ninja seals. His eyes snapped wide, while the vicious winds whipped up around her legs, before sending those breezes crashing in the direction of the ram, sending him from the soil back several feet before coming to a crash. Hundreds of pounds of muscle the thud was pretty audible. There she went again, disappearing, leaving him alone before hurrying to Tetsu. His breath was still flowing, though it was nothing better. With however haphazardly that skill was used, it could have hurt the ram all the more.
His decision was simple. His foot stamped upon the ground, while he felt about the area for movement with the jihibiki kansei no jutsu. While he focused, his face darkened, for what she'd done. Her movement and speech was something of a pointer, raising the spear up parallel, he stepped carefully to the side away from Tetsu, extending his fingers coated in steel. Making use of Kōton: Teshi Sendan, firing off a spray of ten pieces of steel (aiming toward non-vital joints), sent spiraling in Jae's direction. "You don't understand the bond between us, involving me is to involve him," the young man answered with a sneer. The two were one in the same, essentially.

Both of them worse similar expressions. Jae was no in accordance with his logic. It made no sense to her. Especially since she was the type of person who would rather fight on her own without anyone's help. Having a companion as 'part' of you seemed selfish to Jae. No one needed to share her pain. She wouldn't wish that on anyone. "Of course I don't. Duh!" She retorted while making a single handed set of hand signals. Water from the area collected in a spray of movement and shot up before her. Her make shift barrier of water giving the illusion of protecting her from his bullet like pieces of god knew what. In an instant Jae appeared on the opposite side of the wall of water coming down from above. The reflective illusion of herself on the other side disappeared the moment those bullets pierced the water wall. Using her remaining wind energies she aimed the kick down at him, pulling back slightly so as not to overkill. Jae wanted to test that armor...well. Truthfully Jae was angry and emotions riled her up more than anything else did. It was getting harder and harder not to see this spar, test, whatever it was as something anything less than serious.

Technique Name: Waters reflective illusion Rank: A Type: Ninjutsu - Genjutsu Element: Suiton Description: By activating her chakra and and manipulating her Suiton element Jae is able to create an ultimate offensive combination. She activates her Suiton element and stirs up the water around her by tossing it up and creates a tidal wave of water that protects her when she is being assaulted straightforwardly. This is just meant as a means of creating a sort of mirrored illusion of herself, a reflection, behind the water. As the person cuts through her wall of water or is distracted by it and her 'reflective self' Jae appears from above them, giving herself a chance to catch them off guard with any type of a follow up she has in her arsenal.
The flurry of steel bits met with a wall of water, and passed through. The ripples of high generate by the high velocity chunks revealed nothing but a disappearing girl. His eyes went to looking about, when there she was. She'd moved only around the wall and before him... above. She was coming down again, utilizing the voracious winds about her legs anew. How could he? The steel was resilient to even the bloody crystalline blade. It could. It would have to. The haft of his spear rose, his hand supporting it. Chakra fanned out (if he was going to take the hit, he'd try and get what practice he could), and he became intensely aware for the first time of the push behind the haft. Its flexibility wasn't something to be ignored, after all.
The winds tore at the clothing, and the haft of his spear gave way with a groan and a snap. His spear had broken, which would have been problematic for most. The winds still tore at skin even, leaving the young man bleeding. He couldn't have been able to keep up, and it was increasingly obvious that the young man wasn't going to be able to top Jae in this encounter, but then again, she'd struck Tetsu. The black steel would have been problematic, were it not for the consistent flow of renewal. The young man dropped to his knees, in part in exhaustion and in an effort to bring her in yet again. They were both upset. Both were stubborn. Would she approach? He kept his hand on the broken haft, raising his digits anew in a last attempt. A single flurry of steel bits moving along a foot about the ground in a spread.

The effect of her winds were still strong, despite Jae having pulled her kick. Still need to work on this... It was hard to control her winds. They were so hard to direct. Luckily for her Rakuin's ability was able to withstand the onslaught. Made her conscious feel slightly better. Backing off and landing lightly on her feet, she looked to Rakuin. He wasn't going to give up. That much was displayed in his expression. Fine. She thought to herself, signing away. "This is getting pointless." She commented under her breath. Jae wanted to get close enough to knock him on his a**. So she came charging in at him. It didn't occur to her to pay too much mind to what was going on around her, until she was already caught up in it. Once again he was firing low shot of steel 'pointers' in her direction. Jumping up into the air she avoided a few but was greeted with a funny sort of dodging dance as she landed on the ground. A few pieces brushed past her legs, leaving nasty grazes and cuts on her calves. Jae couldn't approach any closer so she improvised to not only give herself an opening and time but to momentarily rid herself of these sharp 'pointers'. She activated her chakra, the chakra distilling the air around her. As this occurred, a short burst of air followed suit and pushed outwards, anything that would have been in a short range around her would have been knocked backwards. She pushed the winds forward, against Rakuin and waited for her opening.

The wind can only be released in one direction and a cool-down period of three posts is required before it can be used again.
He'd finally done it! He'd drawn blood of the woman, so it seemed that he was getting to a point where he could fight back. Go figure, he had to beat the living hell out of his own reserves just so that he might actually get at her. He rose back to his feet awkwardly, blissfully it seemed he was out of the gusting range of the surge of winds. He took the moment for him to lift the two pieces of the spear together, as he focuses the chakra in. The haft was held together while the he focused bits of steel into the grains of the wood. It wasn't the customary way to use the skill, but Tsukenaosu would hold it together until he could fix up a new haft for the thing. He stepped up now, feeling the chakra flow about the haft again, before stepping in for a side swing. He ultimately needed to to slap her with the broad side. Piercing the girl would make the encounter a lot more problematic.

Looking down at her leg she let out a small shriek. It looked like she had walked through a tank of razors. More preoccupied with her superficial cuts, she didn't pay attention to what he was doing with his weapon, at first. "I cant hide these! Sae is going to kill me! Raaaakkkuuuiiiinnn!" She whined, her composure making her seem more like a nervous puppy dog. As she called him out she looked up, finally taking note that he was doing something with his weapon. What? She thought to herself before he stepped towards her, sweeping his fixed weapon to the side. She had to keep moving. She knew better. Jae took a step in the direction that he was swinging in, toward her going to the left. Defend... She thought to herself, her expression pinched as she concentrated. Jae pulled her knees up as she jumped, his weapon missing her by a few centimeters. Her hand pressed down on the flat of his weapon, pushing it further down and allowing her to push herself further to the side. Landing easily on her feet she stuck her tongue out at him. Jae rocked on the balls of her feet, putting a finger underneath her eye and pulling down. Childish but she didn't care. He wasn't the one she tried to impress. Come to think of it... Even when she was with Samuru she acted like a total tomboy.
She was supposed to be trying to learns something in all of this. Shaking her head she tried to imitate the free spirit stance. This was embarrassing, she felt like an idiot. Keeping her arms tight to her figure, she extended her arms, palm out close to her chin. Carefully, she slid one foot forward, shifting an even percentage of her weight to the front and back. She felt more like a boxer getting ready to take a punch rather than give one. But if Rakuin came at her the point of this was to be ready to take him on. "Come on kid! That the best you've got? My shaving razor has more bite." She teased, trying to rile him up again.
The girl was preoccupied over the cosmetic implications in the piercing bullets more than anything else. Rakuin's spearhead had made its way in, and the young man found himself most irritated that she'd managed to block the strike. It was plain iron, but none the less he wasn't happy to let the girl... play. She mad it a point to taunt him, of all things, which made this an issue. Now that he knew she'd roll with the swings, he'd have to anticipate, and then it simply dawned upon him. "You'll see otherwise in a moment," the Raki snapped, while making another whirl. Again, the flat of the blade was swinging her way. Using the momentum, he let the spear carry with one hand, knowing the shock would be jarring, he readied with his other hand a final salvo, which he would release upon block. He was tired, and she knew it. What reason would she have to not? Teshi Zendan was readied for the instant the spear ceased its movement, if his estimates were correct. The hollow bits of steel would soar into the girl, ultimately he was aiming for the arm.

Narrowing her eyes slightly she was true to her training and moved instantaneously to his oncoming onslaught with his weapon. She moved in close, dropping her upper body to the ground and off to the side. Supporting her whole body on her hands, she aimed a kick for the flat of his weapon. He wasn't trying to impale her with the spear, that much she understood but what was the point of training if you didn't train correctly. It was more of an insult to her. She was more than capable of staving off flat slaps of the spear. She kicked it upward and pushed herself up into an upright position, in motion and seeking to close the gap between them that was allotted by the spears range. Her breath caught slightly when she noticed he was already prepared for her to dismiss the spear again. Jae jumped for the right, getting clipped directly in the meat of her shoulder and a few grazes up along her arm. Diving to the ground and rolling, she came up standing low. Wincing Jae held her injured shoulder, blood having already soaked through her shirt. Her expression was dark, staring at Rakuin as if she intended to go for his throat.
Blinking repeatedly, as if to dispel her dark haze, she smiled, laughing a bit to changed the mood as well as her expression. Holding up her hands in an "X" for time out she continued to laugh. "I take it I hit a nerve. Ra-tsu" She taunted once again in her sing song voice. Her bashing of Rakuin and Tetsu's names was her form of light banter. Truthfully she was impressed by his perception and anticipation but she would never let him know that. Instead she would pound him into the dirt when he was stronger. "You wont be as lucky next time, I assure you." She cooed, her gaze narrowing a tad bit as she settled into a impish grin. There was her challenge and knowing her luck and the dark history around these triplets she was more than sure they would bump heads again. Jae was not one to back down nor was she a push over.
Ow, ow, ow. Her shoulder burned and throbbed, the wound stinging. Jae removed her hand to look at it more closely. Nothing she couldn't get treated. "I can't tell which of you fights more ferociously, you or Samuru." She said aloud, poking at the edge of her wound. She winced a bit and whimpered slightly before shaking her head. Saiketsu healed a little differently compared to other people so it wouldn't take long for her to clot. Wait!! Samuru and Maylee. You need to gather them together."s**t, s**t. I was supposed to get you guys together but the other two are missing!" Biting down on her thumb nail she stressed out. "The Hokage will be pissed. Your brother and sister are M.I.A." Jae warned Rakuin, hoping that he was lying about having no idea where they were.
The dead set expression of determination seemed to tremble on his face, as he wanted to shout to the heavens that he'd bloodied the girl well enough. At this point though, he'd exhausted his resources to do just that. She'd rolled out of the way, thus Raki determined that there probably wasn't any pieces of the black steel lodged in her. It was the look of shock on her face that was most pleasing though, as if one couldn't goad a soul into doing what you pleased. The politics he dealt with on a daily basis thanks to the clan were no different from battle, only that he didn't come out near as bloody. After her dazed out moment, she called a close to the encounter. The head of his spear pierced the loamy soil. "Perhaps I hit one literally? Might explain the twitch," he answered seethingly, as he made his way back over to the ram. Tetsu was starting to stir now. Definitely a good thing.
Rakuin made an effort to walk straight. He hadn't bled much, but the amount of chakra he'd dumped out was ridiculous. Were it not for the fact that he'd used almost none of his physical stamina, he'd likely have been far more beat. She elaborated on how he fought vaguely with a comparison to his brother. "It's hard to tell. We fight fundamentally differently," analyzed the young man. They were more alike than their sister, admittedly. He stroked Tetsu's fur gently while he awaited the ram to come to. "The Hokage can be pissed, for all I care. I left them to do their thing, since our contact had been minimal over the last year." It probably wasn't his wisest statement, but it was about all that really mattered. The two of them had to reconcile, and bring themselves back to the proper path.
Tetsu was coming to, it seemed, his head raising gently. He took a moment to find his own footing, before looking down the pink haired girl. It was just a moment before he was back on his feet completely, bleating anew. Rakuin had taken to checking the ram for wounds, but it seemed he'd only been bludgeoned at this point.

Waving her hand about her as if she was swatting a fly, she brushed his comment aside. "This is nothing." She commented, her wound really wasn't that bad. Just annoying. Jae didn't notice his barb at her with his words, the Kunoichi taking them at face value. Taking note that Tetsu was coming too, she perked up and watched the interaction between Rakuin and his companion. Fundamentally different? My a**... Both of them fought to hurt people, although Samuru wasn't nearly as blood thirsty as Rakuin was. A lot was conveyed through punches. Jae learned much more about Rakuin from this interesting little throw down versus the stupid stats written on the file that had been given to her to study. Rakuin had a very unique bloodline. It fascinated her but as interesting as it was it was also beatable. He was slow. Very slow. If someone was faster and able to bash his armor he would sing a different tune. Not my problem...wait is it? She thought to herself, listening to him disregard her warning with venom. She was to lead 'team triplets'. Although Samuru would probably fight that notion with his entire being.
Clasping her hands behind her back she approached him and Tetsu, standing on her tip toes to see past him and to the Ram who was standing now. Jae was pensive and quiet, not a typical Jae trait. A year... In which Samuru had been in Jae's company hiding from them. "Do you hate me for it?" She asked, a sad smile on her face now. Samuru had been in bad shape when she had met him. Despite knowing he had family Jae had been hell bent on helping him recover first before sending him back home. At the time it seemed the most sensible thing. "For looking...?" Jae followed up, recalling their last meeting. The damaged mother, broken siblings and gloomy home. Seeing that the first time with Samuru had convinced her that she couldn't leave him to that lifestyle. It would consume him but she had never extended her thinking to the other siblings. I can't help them... There was something darker in Rakuin than in Samuru, something Jae wouldn't be able to touch.
As Taka blurred away, Terra's tension immediately rose again with an awkward silence as the man next to her seemed unable to talk. Looking back over her sensei still down in a spar, her training seeming to be delayed as the immature and even prideful Uchiha continued to soak up both the Hatake's time and Terra's. Now that her cover was blown, she figured some self training would not injure anything as her tail swayed back and forth. "I'll see you around too, I have work to do!" Terra said happily with a toothy grin before jumping down to the forest floor with Gwenhyvar walked over to her and nuzzled her legs. "Keep watch for me." The large panther bowed its head and stalked over to the root of a tree where it curled up and kept an eye out as his master Terra stood in a small clearing.
Settling into a slightly-crouched battle stance with her tail swaying for balance and small movements of her hips and legs to keep her mobility up, Terra drew her daggers and began to review her basic techniques she had seen from the academy. [1/1] Starting with her basic step, she practiced one step at a time as with each step she put some of her momentum into swinging a dagger into an invisible opponent. After a few more light swings, Terra began slowing taking two, three, and even four steps before committing herself to the blows. By the end of her practice, with barely a bead of sweat on her body, swings as if they were mortal blows to the vitals of an opponent flew through the air.
[1/1] Taking a deep breath and shaking out additional tension in her body through every limb, Terra then stood as still as could be as she looked dead ahead. Wielding her daggers straight in front of her as if a sword, she swung them downwards vertically, remembering the academy trainer's saying "I don't fear a man who has practiced a master style one time, but I fear the man who has practiced the basics a thousand times." Physically nodding as if her sensei was in front of her, she continued to practice her downward swings until a small sweat broke out over her body.
[1/1] After ample time swinging her daggers as if they were swords, Terra switched back to her usual attacks with a malicious yet playful grin on her face. Imagining as if a hated rival student of hers stood in front of her, Terra thrust her daggers through his back multiple times. Not knowing now whether she was sweating on account of emotions or physical exertion, she came back to her senses. If the exercise had been real, nothing but a body full of holes would be laying on the ground in front of her.
[1/1] Tired and bored of the physical offensive practices already, she knew that she'd have to have a partner to realistically practice her defense. Terra smiled with a knowing grin and motioned her partner over with a single finger and her tail swaying as she positioned herself more on her toes than on her heels. As Gwenhyvar growled lightly, the large panther raised its paws and took light swipes at Terra's front and sides, Terra taking small steps backwards with each swipe. Those steps became faster as the panther intentionally sped up to the speed which they were used to wrestling and sparring at as both Terra and Gwenhyvar flattened their ears and got into it.
[1/1] After a short time of playful cat and mouse with the swipes, Terra placed her blades in front of her and the panther knew instinctively what to do as Terra planted her feet firmly on the ground once more. The panther's swipes came slightly slower, Terra not desiring to actually cut her partner as she placed blades in front of the paws as they aimed at her stomach, legs, arms, and chest. While she knew this practice was necessary, she was now sweating more over the possibility of slicing open her partner's paws than her own health at the ends of Gwen's claws.
[1/1] With her basic for Shunkan No Hagare practiced and ready to move onto a different and more deadly set of styles, Terra and Gwen bowed their heads to one another as the large panther went back to his spot and curled up once more. Starting off with a slow walk, Terra kept her movements silent as she crouched down slightly. Her tail swayed back and forth, providing some additional balance as she practiced her silent step. As she neared a jogging pace, she burst into a full sprint suddenly as she slashed across the air once, the dagger swinging from right to left. [2/2]Changing the momentum quickly, she slashed back left to right. Rather than change the momentum again, she allowed it to carry her into a vicious mid-air spinning kick with the backside of her right leg aimed towards the opponent's neck. The vicious combo would have silenced a lot of opponents as Terra landed gracefully back onto her feet. If the opponent had been standing two, two slashes and a kick would have sent him to a potential grave.
[1/2] Immediately spinning as if she was facing yet another opponent, she ran forward and ducked underneath an "incoming strike." Another malicious grin appeared on her face as she flipped her dagger around in her hand. With the blade now facing her, she crept forward and performed a deep horizontal slash backwards across the opponent's chest. [2/2]The next moment, she had reversed that same momentum now that the sharp end was aimed towards the opponent. With an imagined sound of crunching bone and rushing blood, Terra drove it home and held it here, envisioning it still. Performing the motion once more to ensure that it held within her memory, she reflected over it in her mind for a few minutes to ensure that it could be used effectively.
[1/2]Slowly raising back from her duck, Terra drew the dagger across her body before crouching down against slightly. Each muscle in her body began to tense up as she prepared herself for what was to come. She unleashed her tension into a uppercut with her dagger, all the momentum of her body placed into it. The momentum even carried her into the air, her leg coming upwards in a cyclone like motion to kick the air where the opponent's chin would have been. [2/2] If anyone had been there to witness, it, she would have accidentally given them more than an ample view of her chest as she flew through the air. Timing her fall to land on both feet, she quickly regained her sense of direction and looked around her as she stood back up and thought of the next bukijutsu to practice.
[1/2] Now panting and in a visible sweat, Terra recovered herself for a few moments and just breathed heavily. Knowing that she was close to done with only her warm up, she decided to practice the most advanced technique of her village's style. Sliding one of her daggers back into its sheathe, she crept forward slowly with the other one drawn and her hand in a tensed state. She envisioned her prey once more, casually standing guard or relaxing and just waiting to be killed. [2/2] Walking up to the final "shadow opponent", her tensed hand reached out and grasped the opponent's midriff tightly, steadying its body. Within the next second, the dagger sliced deeply into the opponent's lower back. Whether it would have actually severed the spinal cord of her opponent or just crippled multiple nerves within it, Terra did not know. What she could infer, however, is that either way her opponent would be severely crippled.
At last, she stood in the middle of the clearing panting a good bit as she had just trained and practiced multiple new moves. Looking over at her Hatake, she became frustrated once more at not much seemed to have changed and she was still at the loss of a trainer for now. Walking slowly forward unconsciously, she stopped momentarily as there was no sound of footsteps, alarming her for but a moment as she reflected on what she had just learned. Realizing that her trainer would not be out for quite a while, Terra turned and nodded to her Gwenhyvar as they both bounded into the forest silently, headed towards the village dojo to see if they could encounter some better luck there.
(TL;DR = She trained...a lot. And looked good while doing it ;D She then leaves the area.)
In a blur of speed at a sprinting and silent pace, Terra burst back onto the forest scene as she tried to spot anything she could along the way. Coming back a different way than she had initially left and pausing in a tree for a quick breath along with scanning the area, Terra noticed another dueling pair of shinobi that wore the band of Konoha. With the current weapons they were dueling with, there was no way either of them would be suitable for the combat that could be necessary if the situation at the gates turned dire and they landed their attempted blows. Dropping down into the opening where they were, she immediately put her hands up and called out to both of them, "Stop this at once!" Walking closer, she said, "Both of you are needed immediately back at the village. We have a potential hostile force at the gates. This is not a drill." Her eyes spoke of it being no lie as she didn't even stay put to watch them hopefully acknowledge her.
Moments later, Terra was blurring back through the forest, searching for her sensei which she hadn't even met yet. Their first meeting would be a very unfortunate one as she saw that he was still battling the Uchiha. Throwing caution to the wind as she knew that there was potentially a net around him, Terra ran through any remaining pieces of the static web that might be there. Immediately coming to a halt a safe distance away from the main battle, Terra bowed her head to Masahiro and called out, "Sensei! I am your new student Terra Senju, and your presence is urgently required back at the village. Members of the UHV have appeared at the gates and the situation is hostile. I am under orders from high command to order you to move to the hospital at once and assist there if need be. This is not a drill! I am sorry for the interruption, Sensei." Without another word, Terra immediately blurred back into the forest and rushed off to the next thread to warn the rest of village.
Tetsu seemed to have come out of it a lot better than Raki had, and for that purpose, he was feeling better. Nevertheless, it seemed that Jae was pretty oblivious on most aspects. She'd taken his comments literally, rather than for the insult that he'd intended. He didn't quite know what to think of the girl at this point. It was very likely that she hadn't quite been accessing a large number of her abilities, as he'd been treated to the crystalline sword. Surely, she knew other skills from what was clearly a kekkei genkai. His investigation had become superficial at this point, but now Jae approached, glancing down at Tetsu.
He stepped up and to the side, to gather distance between himself and Jae. If she dared approach more, it was likely that Tetsu would be exuberant enough to knock her down. After all, it would be tit for tat. 'Do you hate me for it?' There was a lot to hate her for, but the question came down to whether or not she'd specify. "For looking?" he asked simply, trying to elaborate on the concept. The remnants of a family, wronged by another regime, left behind too early by their father. "I should." He should hate her, but to do that was to hate her brother. "You stepped into my home, took my brother away, and ultimately left what was so very important to us to rot. That's why the Hokage can piss and moan for all I care. We done here?" Nothing was more important than blood. All were to be damned. He had better things to do than let her look into his private life further. It was apparently over, as one girl interrupted the two of them. "Well, it looks like we are done. I won't be heading there to die. I'll be of no use, but I imagine you can."
