Shion entered the dojo, casually making her way up to a training dummy. It had been a few weeks since she had the opportunity to get in some actual training, and she couldn't afford to be rusty with the events that lay in the near future. Up until this point, she had gotten by with only her taijutsu, but that wouldn't be enough. Shion knew all too well what kind of people she was going to be facing; she knew that simple fists and a little fancy footwork wasn't going to be enough to take them on. Taking her position in front of the dummy, Shion drew her katana, which she had acquired shortly before ariving, and examined the blade for a few seconds. It was nothing special; a simple steel blade attached to a cloth-bound wooden hilt. But it was sharp, and that is all that mattered to her. With her free hand, Shion unraveled a scroll she had been given when she received the blade. Inside was a list of many various blade techniques, each suited for speed above all else... Just how Shion liked it.
Hagane no Shunkan Training Reductions: -1 dojo, -1 relevant, -1 buki Total: -3 Free Training Posts: 8 respec, 7 event Total: 15
Stage One - E - [Simple: 1 -- Complex/Spiritual: 1]
Readying her blade, Shion took a single step forward and slashed downwards at the dummy. Her blade cleaved through the wooden body with little to no effort. [1/1] Basic Stab learned
Shion took several steps backwards to create a gap between her and the dummy; she'd be needing space for this next technique. After she had put a good five feet or so between the two, Shion ran forwards, focusing chakra into her feet as she did. The result would be her dashing, almost blinking out of sight, towards the dummy at astounding speeds. [1/1] Linear Step learned
Her next technique wasn't directly offensive, but certainly had its perks. Shion held out her blade in front of her and began to focus her chakra through her arm and into the blade itself. Within moments, an dirty, orange glow had surrounded the blade. [1/1] Reinforcement learned
Stage Two - D - [Simple: 1 -- Complex/Spiritual: 2]
Her next technique seemed to actually be a branch off of the one she had already attempted, much to her relief. Shion repeated the process of the Reinforcement technique and coated the blade in a thin layer of chakra. [1/2]
Once the foundation was in place, Shion focused more control into the chakra. Slowly, but surely, the chakra changed from an amorphous blob to a finely honed layer of protective chakra with only the blade's edge exposed. [2/2] Deflection learned
Now that she had the basics of the style down, it was time to work on the advanced techniques. For this, she'd need a sparring partner. And seeing as Shion seemed to have an aversion to making friends, that meant she'd have to rely on her old tried and true method of fighting a clone. A quick hand seal, a puff of smoke, and a Clone appeared before her, blade drawn and ready for battle.
Shion charged the clone, blade descending in a fluid arc towards the clone's body. As intended, the clone raised their own blade to block the incoming attack. Using her own momentum to continue the advance, Shion took another step forward, grinding her blade downward along the clone's in order to get all that much closer for her attack. [1/1] Forward Grind learned
Using the momentum from the grind, Shion quickly slid her blade outward and made a horizontal slash at the clone's abdomen. Ever quick on their feet, the clone pivoted on the foot adjacent to the slash, spinning outwards and catching the sword blow against their own. [1/1] Pivot Block learned
Stage Three - C - [Simple: 3 -- Complex/Spiritual: 4]
Her next technique wasn't so much a technique as it was the result of muscle memory. According to the scroll, she'd have to make her attacks lighter and faster, a thought that had somehow never occurred to Shion. [1/3]
Shion and the clone got back into position and began to spar once more. Their blows were sluggish, heavy, and deliberate, but they were slowly making progress. It wasn't quite noticeable yet, but they were steadily getting faster. [2/3]
The loud clangs of clashing steel rang throughout the dojo as the two went at it. Anyone in the general area would be able to notice the pauses between each clash were getting shorter and shorter until the heavy thuds were drowned out by sharp clanks. [3/3] Calligraphy learned
Taking a break form the physically demanding sparring, Shion would move on to a technique that simply required focus. Once again, it was a supplement of the original chakra coating technique. Only, this time, she had to actually extend the blade outward. No big deal... [1/4]
Both Shion and her clone began to funnel their chakra into their respective blades, giving it that familiar orange blob coat. The chakra then began to flatted and run along the edges of the blade, perfectly mirroring it. [2/4]
Shion began to focus on the chakra intently, imagining the blade extending. Minutes went by and still she focused, harder and harder until sweat beaded on her brow. With a loud exhale, Shion dropped her blade, frustrated, and turned to see how her clone was doing. [3/4]
Much to her chagrin, the clone's blade had a fully extended length of chakra coating it. It had seemed her clone had uncovered some trick she hadn't. Rather than admit defeat and ask how she did it, Shion instead dismissed the shadow clone, transferring all of it's collected experiences to her. No one had to know... no one... [4/4] Extension learned
The next jutsu on the scroll was another toolkit style technique. It involved anchoring one's own feet to the ground to avoid being thrown off balance. Simple enough in concept, but how would she fair in practice? [1/4]
Shion began by focusing and channeling chakra into the soles of her feet. After a brief second or two, she pushed her focus to extend the chakra onto the floorboards. Everything seemed alright, but she'd have to check to make sure. Giving her legs a few good upward tugs, she would find her legs were secured to the floor. [2/4]
Being an immovable object was a great trick to have, but the problem was just that... you were immovable. An enemy could easily take advantage of your stationary position and get in a free hit. She'd have to learn to move while anchored. Shion began to fluctuate the chakra in her feet, breaking the flow and quickly restarting it as she stepped. [3/4]
Her steps were gradual, and it would look like she was merely stomping around to any outsider. But, the more she moved, the more Shion would get used to the rapid changes in chakra. It wasn't long before she had mastered matching her chakra rhythm to that of her foot steps, allowing her to move freely, but remain fastened when standing still. [4/4] Solid Footing learned
Shion checked her scroll once more, letting out a beleaguered sigh as she saw what her next technique was. I mean, yeah its a sword based combat style, but how many different ways to put chakra on a blade were there? Gathering her things, she made her way back to the dummy where she would begin to practice the technique. [1/4]
Blade extended like before, Shion focused her chakra into the blade. That all too familiar orange blob of energy began to snake its way onto the blade and take shape. First a swirling mass of chakra, then the edged lining, and then extended beyond the blade. With her weapon ready, it was time to actually get onto the jutsu. [2/4]
The technique seemed simple enough. Just loosen the chakra around the blade and swing, allowing time for the blade of chakra to follow through. It was extremely similar in concept to the mirror images she was able to produce. Utilizing the techniques she learned within that style, Shion swung her blade upwards at the dummy. [3/4]
Her blade cut through the air life... well... a blade through air. It was over in the blink of an eye, but if you were quick enough, you'd have caught the steel of the blade striking the wooden dummy only to be followed by the chakra blade by a mere moment. Who knew techniques could transcend styles? [4/4] Twin Blade learned
The next technique in the scroll was actually something extremely simple, and pretty well suited for Shion. All she needed was some wire and few posts. The training dummies would do, and surely the dojo had some wire on hand she could borrow. [1/3]
After about 15 minutes and some trial and error, Shion had rigged up a makeshift tight rope by spacing two training dummies roughly 10 feet apart and connecting the two with a long line of tripwire. Taking her position to begin her "training," Shion jumped up onto one of the dummy's heads and took her first steps onto the wire. [2/3]
Balance was always something easy for Shion. For once, her diminutive size was actually useful; balancing was a lot easier without all that excess body weight others have. In a matter of seconds, Shion had cleared the gap between the dummies. Not satisfied with one pass, Shion made two more trips up and down the wire, if not to cement her skills, then definitely to show off to any onlookers. [3/3] Thread Walking learned
Stage Four - B - [Simple: 5 -- Complex/Spiritual: 6]
Nearing the end of her scroll, all Shion really had left was combat techniques, and that meant one thing... One final, prolonged clone fight! This time, before the puff of smoke had even cleared, the two were at each other's throats, steel and teeth barred. Blow after blow, Shion and her clone bounced off each other and reengaged, no moment was spared. What were originally thought out moves were now becoming second nature to the two. Each movement, from grand arm swing to minute weight shift, was coming to them as naturally as one draws breath. An upward strike, a downward block, each move following its predecessor in a fluid stream of thoughtless motion. The world around them was melting away, and all that remained was Shion, the clone, and two blades. [1/1] [-4 free posts] Advance of Steel learned
Shion's mind was blank; occupied with nothing but her next strike. Where once was only savage, thoughtless blows was now a fluid chain of coordinated strikes, each one coming quicker than the last. In becoming one with her weapon, Shion had become a living blur of steel. [1/1] [-5 free posts] Brush Stroke learned
While their spar lasted only a few short minutes, it was clearly evident it was beginning to take its toll on the girl. It was time to end this and head out on her way. Suddenly, an opening appeared in the clone's defenses. Taking advantage of this, Shion clashed her blade and ran down to the hilt of her clones. With a quick flick of her blade, she would nick the clone's hand, loosening their grip, and send their weapon sailing away. [1/1] [-4 free posts] Disarming learned
That was all the training she'd have time for now. The call had been put out, and it was time to assemble. Gathering her things, Shion left the dojo. [exit]

Ninjutsu study was all fine and what not, but Unki yearned for more hand to hand combat, rather, more knife play. She went to recollect the learning material for the blade style she had been learning and narrowed in on the start of the next stage. The concept of this move was when assaulting a defending opponent, she would have to attempt to reach out and grab their arm. Unki started by summoning another Unki scorch clone. An imparted a few vocal directions to do this and do that! [1/ 4]
The clone took up a blocking stance as told and left the real Unki to hurry in and try for her arm. The clone pulled away at first and managed to slap the real Unki’s face. The clone giggled as both Unki’s set back up to try again. In the blocking stance, the clone was ready for whatever the real Unki had to do. A hurried glance at the instructions informed that after landing a solid grab, she must pull the enemy’s arm while kicking outward with all her might. [2/ 4]
Sadly, this maneuver meant Unki could possibly be going forward to stand through a weird moment of guilt from breaking her own clones arm. It’s weird watching and listening to yourself suffer. Unki had little choice, in the end, if she wanted to really learn this move. She rushed for the clone and managed to grab onto one of her arms.[3 /4] In a real pinch, Unki wouldn’t have much time to wait and act. She treated this as a real race against being punched by her opponent and began to pull just moments after taking her arm. As the text described, Unki replicated the strong kick that resulted in a fretting Unki clone with a very sore arm. [4/4]

To further her training, Unki took a step back from hand to hand again and addressed a half of what made her steam whole. Fire. She collected a fire scroll from the wall and began to read over a select few techniques. The first to catch her sights was spoke of a “great dragon” with the ability to break through concrete. None of Unki’s scorch abilities had the punch to break through walls, thus, this fire technique appealed to her. [1-5] The directions described the required hand seals and in short a roaring fire would burst from their mouth. Unki knew this wasn’t the case, she knew that these abilities weren’t supposed to come without a dash of dedication. The practice began with much focus and attempt at formation of her energy in her being. [2-5] Unki counted the number of seals and which that were required. A good couple were expected given the complexity of the seal. She stood practicing the pattern to implement to memory. It wouldn't be practical to forget on the battlefield. [3-5] The seals were, oddly enough, remembered and the silent pooling of her energy had been unfolding by the passing of each moment. She wanted those dragon heads to be in full form and practice was the means of doing so. She took a breath. [4-5] How many fireballs could be used before having to follow along with the seals again? That count was uncertain, regrettably. She exhaled without a hitch or quake and inhaled again. This time, with the breath she took, Unki began to fortify her focus with energy. The jam packed metaphorical punch of energy released a heaving fireball with her drifting breath. [5-5] Learned Gōryūka no Jutsu [ Great Dragon Fire Technique ] Rank: B
Such a sight was very convicing of her own abilites. Unki moved onto the next item she saw fit: Burning ash accumulation. The ash clouds would be a fine tool for distracting and disorienting her close quarter opponents. [1-5] The idea was strange to spout the half-hearted rements of a flame from her mouth. But, the ability to spit fire and all else that wasn't normal was strange too. This powdery ash would cloud into the air, so the text describes, and when the time was right...[2-5] The user could commit a great explosion to envelop anyone who was lost in the cloud. The trigger was a timely tapping of teeth that sounded like a terrible sensation to imagine. Yet, this method was how the tactic was perfected. [3-5] With an ample amount of room to work with, Unki began to replicate the hand seals of this fire based technique. This wasn't something she could imagine would mesh well her scorch, none the less, this was still a viable move. She built energy up and about her mouth. She imagined what she wanted from this effort, instead of the gray puff she accidentally exhaled when she felt an untimely cough in her person. [4-5] When Unki caught her breath, she repeated the process to try again on perfecting this technique. A sturdy inhale, handseals, and the accumulation of her energy all meshed together into a hopeful mass of ash. After a good few seconds Unki exhaled a dense cloud. It was lifting to see. She didn't watch to catch it on fire. Not here. [5-5] Learned Haisekishou [ Burning Ash Accumulation ] Rank: B
The next technique was fairly destructive and hardly any other word would deflate the truth of the technique. It wasn't a false claim to say it wouldn't create some considerable damage to the academy. Unki had to head outside, after reviewing the material of this and the remaining techniques on her list. [1-7] She returned the reference material and ventured outdoors. The goal would be to create a deceptively small ball of fire that could be launched. Upon impact, the fire ball would errupt into an immense fire storm. Thus, outside was the best location. Perhaps against a stone surface? [2-7] Kasairyuu [ Blaze Eruption ] A rank [5 Free Training posts used]
The other technique wasn't as descrutive as a deceptive fireball however just very longwinded due to the oily fuel driving the heat. The design, as Unki recalled, was to create a surface of fire that would interrupt opponents who may be coming toward her. She wondered the floor of fire would be enhanced by wind? If anything a wave of sand could smother this blaze. [1 ; 2 Free Training Posts used] Hidoko no Jutsu [ Bed of Fire Technique ]Rank: C
What Unki could recall was that flame spread technique was purely an extension of any item she happened to be holding at the time. A technique that taught her how to slap an extra three feet of fire on her sword for optimum use. The idea of a firey sword tickled her fancy and she couldn't help but giggle when the thought of scorch traits fueling her fire. [1-3] There was a catch, however, on this technique. She would have to renergize her fire power after a good bit of time. She wondered how that would look. Maybe the fire would start to die down? She could, ideally, keep the fire sword going for as long as her energy pools permitted her. [2-3] ; 1 free training post used] Hi Shinten no Jutsu [ Flame Spread Technique ]Rank: D
In terms of her innate ability, Unki knew it was time to brush up on her skills. Heat haze needed a touch of work to meet her new power. She assumed a stance to focus and placed her hands together. This ability would influence jutsu like her new set of katon and she needed the pairing to be one with the other. She exhaled and released the hold on her handseal. [1/1] Update to A-rank Youen [ Heat Haze ] Backdraft would alter her wind jutsu. She assumed a different hand seal and practiced her breathing. Doing so, Unki began to freely manipulate the air about her hands. Yellow scorch chakra came, bubbled, and went as she again released the handseal. [1/1] Update to A-rank Bakku dorafuto [ Backdraft ]
With that, she would have to get ready to leave. A bitter taste in her mouth surfaced for some reason. She concluded it was the lack of a weapon shop that she knew of. Supplies would be nice to have.

Thanatos nodded as he prepared a demonstration, he looked over at the far end of the dojo."Do you see that training post over there?"He asked both of them as he pointed, this would cause them both to look in that direction. When they did that he would use the technique and already be near the training post by the time they fully looked over. He waved at them and appeared before them again."Shushin is a highspeed movement technique, not a teleportation. You can't go through walls you pick a direction and move. Kai, being a close combat fighter you could use this to close the gap between yourself and your opponent. Allowing you to use more devastating techniques. But be careful this technique does put a physical strain on your body and can only be used about three times in a battle so keep that in mind." He then looked over at Lily."Lily, being that you will be a more long range Nin/gen user this will be good for escaping sudden ambushes or increasing the distance between yourself and the target. But remember like I said theres a limit your body can take. Don't allow your opponent to force you into a position where you burn through all your escapes."

Bella gave herself a grunt of approval at her work so far. This human stuff wasn't even hard! Why did Chloe always complain when she went to go study? With a hop skip and a jump Bella swung right into the next jutsu. Another water jutsu expect one that built on her already having water on the battlefield, and as it just so happened there seemed to be some water left over from her last experiment. Focusing on a knocked over dummy that floated by on the water's surface, Bella preformed the handselas. [1/5] Expelling her chakra through her feet and into the water and collected under the dummy. The process was a a little difficult mostly because said dummy kept moving. Even with all her training it still felt so complex to use her chakra in order to manipulate any kind of water, it was just fluid and constantly changing. [2/5] Given enough time however, Bella could of course grasp the concept of everything. Put enough bear's in a kitchen and eventually they'll learn to make a five star dinner yeah? Or something like that. Anyway this was no exception either. [3/5] With her chakra pooling under the dummy the water around it began to form a mini vortex. It certainly took some time but eventually the dummy was swirling in place just as it should be. [4/5] Here was her time to shine! increasing the speed of the vortex Bella watched as the dummy started to drown in a makeshift water twister, and with a 'swhunck' the dummy was dragged underwater until it reached the bottom of the makeshift pond. A perfect segway for any followup water jutsu. [5/5] Daibakuryuu no Jutsu [ Great Exploding Current ] Learned
Deciding that she needed to take a break of all the water jutsu Bella moved onto the earth style. Now here was something that she could get behind. The nice raw power and stability of the earth itself. Or maybe not.. The first jutsu that Bella would begin with was a simple mudslide. Moving earth should be no problem compared to water right? [1/3] Well it seemed to be partial true as Bella mixed her chakra into the earth and run through it like water would. Loosing it enough it force it to become slick as mud. As the top of earth gave way more and more eventually a full blown mudslide would start flowing forward. [2/3] The current wasn't anything to seriously fear though which got Bella herself wondering if she could somehow increase it beyond it's normal limits. Testing her hypothesis by adding more chakra into the flowing mudslide this fact proved to be true. Though while the mudslide didn't have limits Bella herself certainly did. Cutting off the chakra flow before she put so much into that it killed her. [3/3] Doro Houshi [ Mud Silhouette ] Learned
The next earth jutsu had caught her attention because of it's simplicity mostly. Also if she could surprise someone with it then of course it would be more than worth it. With just a few simple handseals Bella found herself diving under that earth itself and continued to swim through it. [1/1] Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu [ Earth Military Movement Technique ] Learned
While the next two jutsu weren't belonging to any element Bella still found them useful since she already all over her body. She would just need to find a way to harden it against attacks. [1/5] Following the ninjutsu's instructions Bella focused her chakra all throughout her body, or more importantly into each individual hair that stood on her body. The process was tedious and long but over time Bella got faster and faster at it. [2/5] This was before she actually cast the jutsu of course. Since this would be cast during the battle there was no way that she could do something this on the fly. Thus the practice came in. Once she was in a comfortable place with it, Bella started preforming the actually jutsu. [3/5] the idea behind the technique seemed to be accomplished but of course Bella couldn't be satisfied here. This was her fur after all and she would need to make sure that it could hold up to things like fire and lightning that would naturally destroy it. [4/5] the problem here became that she really had no one to test it out against for her. So instead Bella dumped as much chakra as she possible could into the technique. It might not solve her problem but at least if she used it now then it would be her chakra meeting with the jutsu she was hit with and her fur would simply the median. [5/5] Hari Jizou [ Underworld Guardian Spikes ] Learned
Having learned how to harden her fur Bella would have no better opportunity to learned her next jutsu. By using the same idea behind the last one, she should be able to launch her fur at the enemy as super sharp spikes. [1/5] So preforming the last technique once more Bella's fur hardened to supernatural levels. Testing it with her paw Bella flung with all her might in the direction of the wall but to her appointment nothing happened. It seemed this chakra thing was getting the best of her. [2/5] Funneling her chakra into the desired paw Bella tried to use it to loosen the bristles along her forearm. Flinging her arm once more preformed the results she was looking for but not the effect that had hoped. [3/5] At least she was getting somewhere this time. The jutsu looked as though she would need to spend chakra both losing up her fur and then use it to actually launch the bristles outward with a small explosion. [4/5] The idea sounded simple sure but how was she supposed to cause and explosion on her skin so small that it would only launch her fur and not blow her up? In the end she found she would just have to make a go at it. Funneling her chakra into her fur Bella flung her arm out at the wall in front of her again. This time the results were much more to her liking. Countless needle like bristles sat buried half deep into the stonework. [5/5] Hari Jigoku [ Hell Needles ] Learned
As found as she was of Bella Cloe decided that she should get started on her own training and quit procrastinating. Alwasy best to start with the basics when working with lightning as they say. Without even casting any handseals Chloe focused her chakra to create a charge of electricity in her body that could counter the electrical charge that she would be using for her other lightning abilities. This way she wouldn't hurt herself while casting them. [1/1] Teikou no Kuntou [ Electrical Resistance Training ] Learned
The next technique was just as easy as the first. Not really a combat one but something that she could use in the future to alert her if someone was near. Using her chakra to create a thin line of electricity in between her fingers, Chloe set it up around the area like a spider weaving a web. The idea being that she would feel when someone passed through them and it would warn her of their proximity. [1/1] Seidenki Ito no Jutsu [ Static Strings Technique ] Learned
The next jutsu was interesting in that it could create sort of a living lightning. Chloe groaned internally already being able to sense the amount of pain this one was going to be. [1/3] Using her chakra she made her first attempt at forming a sort of humming bird in the air. Of course it didn't really go as she planned but what ever did? The electricity stagnated in the air for a moment before dispersing. [2/3] But Chloe was determined to make sure that she got it right. Summoning her chakra once more the lightning began to hum in the air as it slowly took the shape of a humming bird. Just like it's name sake. Willing it to move the bird began to flutter through the air. Smiling to herself, Chloe started to pump out more and more of the tiny creatures. [3/3] Hachidori no Mure no Jutsu [ Swarm of Hummingbirds Technique ] Learned
The next jutsu wold require much more than simply making a little humming bird so Chloe made sure that she came prepared. The first test that she would have to pass was the gathering of chakra around her entire body. [1/5] Summoning as much chakra as she could Chloe coated her entire body with it started buzz around her erratically. It seemed that it had been a good idea for her to learn the beginner electricity control jutsu for she might be frying right about now. [2/5] With this stage complete Chloe took this massive amount of chakra and pooled it into her mouth. The sensation was incredible. It felt as if her lips were holding back a tide of energy just waiting to be released. [3/5] Finding a dummy as fast as she could Chloe released the tide of energry out. The lightning wanted so badly to arc outwards in every direction but was held in placed by her chakra. The result was beam or rather like a lightning bolt was launched from her mouth. [4/5] It took a large part of her concentration to be able to direct the lightning but for the most part it seemed that Chloe has mastered the art. There was something to say about lighting itself. It's like the brilliant and flashy element spoke to Chloe. [5/5] Gian [ False Darkness ] Learned
Choosing to dip back into her bloodline element Chloe coasting her arm in her black steel. The familiar shiny metal stares back into her eyes like the void itself. In much the same way as she does when creating her weapons, Chloe pulled metal from her body in a more basic form. Useful for creating blacksmith items. [1/1] Kōton: Tsukenaosu [ Steel Release: To Repair Once More ] Learned
The next jutsu that Chloe was interested in learning was certainly a bit of a dozy. Like the humming bird technique she would need to create a form a living lightning. Only this time create much much more for it. A dragon sized amount to be specific. [1/5] Even more than that it would take momentum if this scroll was to be believed. Well at least I won't be bored. Forming the needed hand seals Chloe began spinning as fast as she could in place. Wind and lightning rippled over her body and she did so. [2/5] In no time at all a min typhoon of sorts was swirling at her feet but Chloe couldn't stop here no, she was nowhere near close enough to the force she would need. So she kept spinning. Even going so far as to add chakra into the momentum of her heel in order to amplify her movement. [3/5] Once she was fast that her form disappeared entirely, a shape formed out of the typhoon in the shape of a dragon head. Like a scene out of a storybook the dragon crawled out of the typhoon like a portal that summoned it from a far off land. [4/5] Snaking through the air with an expert speed that only a creature of it's namesake could pull off, the lightning typhoon dragon blasted forward with a force Chloe had never before experienced and collided into the wall in front of her. Or rather that was in front of her. [5/5] Rairyuu no Tatsumaki [ Lightning Dragon Tornado ] Learned
The next jutsu was actually one that Chloe was kind of excited about. The basic idea was that she would call forth a thunder storm that would strike targets randomly. Except it wasn't random for her because she had the ability to control how much electricity ran through her body, plus if she turned a part of her body metal than it's actually a plus because she can just turn the current into her enemies or burn the alive! [1/5] Forming the jutsu in her hands Chloe made her first attempt at forming a thunder cloud. The process was actually much more difficult that she thought it would be. Because she didn't have the wind or water element Chloe barked at Bella to help her by creating a mist that she could use as the basis of a cloud. [2/5] With her new handicap Chloe condensed her lightning to form up around the cloud. Arc's of the while light flickered through the water filled air. Soon the cloud began to rise in the air where it hung ominously it's lightning bolts flashed and struck the earth in random places. [3/5] Noe came the really fun part. Turning part of her body into metal Chloe waited to be struck by one of the lightning arcs, and it certainly took no time at all for her wish to be granted. [4/5] Admittedly it may have been too much for her to just jump right into but Chloe was never the type to take it easy on herself. Waiting one more time, this time when she was struck she was ready for it. Turning most of her body in metal right before the impact. Or most importantly her chest. That way the lightning couldn't affect her heart or lungs. Meanwhile her arms were burning a bright red and Chloe smiled at her little experiment.

-To be continued in the next episode of dragonbll z-
Artemis created a clone. The identical clone put its hands together as Artemis did. Artemis channeled her chakra in order to form a rasengan in her hand.
She held it out between herself and the clone. The clone focused its chakra to its hands. Then, it put its hands on top of the rasengan Artemis held.
"C'mon," she muttered as the clone began to transfer chakra. The rasengan began to grow with the concerted effort of them both. The clone's hands began to glow with the excess chakra.
Artemis brought a second hand up to help support the rasengan as it grew. It kept the same generic blue color but the clone's ministrations made it seem more intense. It would glow more intense, then dull out as it grew a little, then glow more intense.
The rasengan didn't manipulate the wind as much as it could since Arty was channeling the nonton version. She began to feed it more of her own chakra to make it even larger. The clone removed its hands once the rasengan grew to a considerable size. She dispersed the clone, and tried not to be majorly shocked at the super rasengan. [ Oodama Rasengan [ Big Ball Spiral Sphere ] S ]
Artemis dispersed the rasengan, not wanting to destroy anything in the academy.
Artemis whipped out a scroll intended for practice. While she could summon and activate her sage mode, she was still ignorant to much of fuuinjutsu's idiosyncrasies and the only way to familiarize herself with them was to practice. She placed a kunai on the scroll and put her hands on each side of it. Focusing her chakra, she enclosed the kunai inside the scroll. [ Fūnyū no Jutsu [ Enclosing Technique ] E-B ]
She rolled up the scroll, then picked it up. She knew it was silly but she wanted to test the weight of it anyways. However, there was no difference because the kunai had been sealed with her chakra and wasn't simply invisible-yet-attached. Fuuinjutsu really felt like magic, she realized, putting the scroll back down and unrolling it. She put her hands on each side and unsealed the kunai, summoning it back like she would an animal partner. [ Kaifū no Jutsu [ Unsealing Technique ] E-B ]
She pocketed the kunai and grabbed a different training scroll. She held it over a candle and sealed away the candle's fire into the scroll. Then she placed the scroll on the floor and made the proper hand seals. A flame appeared and was then usable for other katon jutsu if she so wished. [ Shizen no Kuchiyose [ Nature Summoning ] C ]
Artemis sucked in a deep breath as she prepared a brand new training scroll. This would require much focus as it was similar to the summoning technique but also twisted around the foundation her kuchiyose knowledge had been founded on. She focused her chakra onto the scroll by mouthing a mantra, then used it to reverse summon herself to her summoning scroll, left on Fish Island for safe-keeping. [ Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu [ Reverse Summoning Technique ] C ]
