 Hikaru walked onto the team's area. It appeared to be empty, so, bored, he summoned Explosion in the usual flurry of light, then proceeded to tap the surface of a small pond over in the corner of the area with the tip of the sword, causing small-scale explosions and sending plumes of water high into the air. Getting bored of this after a while, Hikaru started practicing with his Eisenmeteor, his base sword. It was weightless to him, so he swung it around with an ease that most people wouldn't be expecting a twelve-year-old to be swinging around an 100+ pound sword with. Eisenmeteor didn't have any useful ability, so Hikaru mainly used it for basic combat. He also enjoyed blocking attacks by placing of the sword's edges on his left palm. Because it was soulbound to him, it couldn't cut him, so it made for a offensive defense, as any attacker would cut themselves on the keen edge. He made a few handsigns and a fully-formed Water Clone burst from the water, already carrying Eisenmeteor. His clones couldn't summon different weapons like he could, so they were stuck with whatever he was using when he created them, although for some bizarre reason, their swords were color-inverted versions of his. Tactically, he thought, I could use that to have many different sword forms at once. That way, I could perform Silver Drive without using a Resonance.
He shook himself out of his thoughts, and rushed ferociously at his clone. The two large blades met in a clash of sparks and a clang of metal, neither gaining any ground, as both had equal strength. They weren't exactly talented, having only acquired the Soul Weapon a few months ago, but the way their feet move and they way the blades moved through the air belied a hidden potential, and it was obvious that, although they were not trained with a sword, they had a innate knowledge of one's use.
As the clash of metal on metal rang through the area, the boy and his clone passed time in the most productive way they could think of.

 Oliver flew in to the meeting place, tucking his wings in some as he landed, standing straight up from his kneeling position upon landing on the ground. Spotting the boy facing himself with a blade, he commended him in his head for his use of the time. "If I didn't know better, I'd think I were seeing in double. I'm assuming you're all warmed up for today?" He always wore heavy armor, mostly for training and endurance, but made a good defense against surprise attacks.

╚════════════════╝ Hikaru jumped back from his sparring match at once. Swinging Eisenmeteor around, both said blade and the clone disappeared, one in a flurry of light, the other in a splash of water. He bowed deeply to Oliver and said, "Yes sensei. My name is Hikaru Nakatsukasa, of the Nakatsukasa Clan of Soul Weapons. May I inquire your name, sir?"
As usual, his manners were flawless upon meeting a new person. Already, he assessed Oliver's armor, his eyes looking up and down the other's figure. His keen eyes found gaps in the armor, along with noting dents and scratches on it. He has seen the man's wings and did not stop the surprise from entering his eyes, but he kept his face clear of any emotion, save small polite small. The man smelled like a burnt lizard and a faint scent of blood, and he also smelled of considerable power. He was obviously not your average Jonin. どのように殺人者のためふさわしい

 "Believe those who are seeking the truth. ╔══════════════╗
☯ Kinko Takashi ☠
╚══════════════╝
Doubt those who find it." ► Kinko slowed his jog down as he neared the Squad's training grounds, farther up the dirt trail he could see a sizable clearing and two male figures. One of them wearing an interesting set of heavy armor. As he made his way into the clearing he got there just in time for the introductions. He also bowed to Oliver, and straightening up said, "And my name is Kinko Takashi, of the Takashi Clan of Weapon Creation."
► His manners mirrored that of Hikaru's, as they would of no matter the status of the person he was meeting. He let Hikaru's question hang as he too awaited his sensei's answer. ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆

"Of course. My name is Oliver Nimbus, of the Nimbus clan. You may or may not have heard of them, but regardless, I will be your sensei. I've already noticed that both of us are young for our position, but I won't let that get in the way of how we do things. I will treat you as one of my pupils, and I expect you to treat my as your sensei. However, it seems that you have your manners down to a science. We'll wait for our other squad member before getting started. Any questions in the meantime?"
He sensed something within the boy, something powerful. There was a reason for him being so young, yet already a genin, and expected to see some interesting things from him. Yet with the traffic going on at the academy, he didn't expect to see the rest of the team for some time, and decided to pass the time fielding some basic questions.

╚════════════════╝ Hikaru greeted Kinko politely, with a bow that was less deep then the one he gave to Oliver, and said, "It's very nice to meet you, Takashi-san, I look forward to working with you, and your Kekkai Genkai, if the name is of any indication, is very close to my own,"
"On that note," said Hikaru thoughtfully, "Since it's apparent that we all have Kekkai Genkai, why don't we introduce ourselves, along with our desires, and skills, and then detail a little about both our Bloodlines and fighting styles, so we can be better accustomed to working with each other tactically as well as personally. I'll start, if you like,"
Hikaru took a deep breath, and started, "Well, as you may have heard, my name is Hikaru Nakatsukasa. You may refer to me however you wish, as long as it is not derogatory. My desire is something quite personal, so I would appreciate it if you paid them no mind. I am adept at both ninjutsu and taijutsu, though my genjutsu leaves something to be desired. My Bloodline and my fighting style are one and the same,"
He paused and summoned Eisenmeteor in a flurry of light, then explained, "My Kekkai Genkai is Shinka Surubuki, the Evolving Weapon. It creates a set of weapons from the deepest parts of our souls, each with its own unique abilities. My Soul Weapon is a set of swords, known as the 10 Commandments,"
"The first form," he said, "Is Eisenmeteor, the Decalogue Sword. Its only ability is that it, and only it, is immune to any form of ninja technique. It makes for a good defense, but the effect does not extend to me. Mostly, it's my main melee sword, as it is weightless to me and its size allows for both a strong offense and defense,"
Eisenmeteor was engulfed in the colorful light, and was replaced with Explosion. It was a lot thinnner then Eisemeteor, taking the form of an orange longsword. It had a curving pattern starting from the hilt, and the same sword gem was embedded at the hilt. Curiously enough, both edges were completely dull.
"This is Explosion," he said, "The Explosive Sword. It has no cutting edge, because its ability is, curiously enough, to cause an explosion on contact with anything. I'll demonstrate,"
Hikaru chucked the sword at a tree, where it exploded catastrophically, toppling the tree and another one next to it. The sword reappeared in its usual manner in Hikaru's hand, but it was a different form this time. It was a single-edged sword with a handguard, both unusual for any of the swords Hikaru used, and it had a swirly hilt made to look a bit like a gust of wind.The blade was long and perfectly straight, and finished with a razor edge. "SILFARION" was emblazoned on the top left corner of the blade. The sword-gem was embedded in a dip in the hilt.
"This is Silfarion, the Sonic Sword. It makes me incredibly light, so I can move at sonic speeds, but because I'm so light, it has little cutting power and I'm easily knocked around," Hikaru explained. He vanished in a little huff of air, and his footsteps could be seen before he reappeared at the same spot, little then two seconds later. He had made a full ring around the training ground. The sword shimmered and a stranger looking one appeared.
"This is the newest, and technically most powerful form of the Ten Commandments I have so far. Runesave, the Sealing Sword. It cuts through anything without tangible form, like smoke, fire, and lightning, but cannot cut through physical things. He waved it through his arm as demonstration.
"And that's it. I hope your ears aren't bleeding," he said with a smile. どのように殺人者のためふさわしい

"Believe those who are seeking the truth. ╔══════════════╗
☯ Ӄinko Ҭakashi ☠
╚══════════════╝
Doubt those who find it." ► "Well I guess I'll go next then. As I said before my name is Kinko Takashi. You may call me by Kinko or Ken if you prefer, it doesn't really matter too much to me. My desire is also a bit...personal you could say and I'll refrain from sharing for now. Moving on to my fighting style I'm adept at both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu but my bloodline specializes in the use of Taijutsu. I've never really been one for genjutsu though and my techniques in that category are somewhat lacking."
► He procured a handful of shuriken from his bag and laid them out in front of him on a nearby rock. "My bloodline, if you'll bear with me as I demonstrate, deals with the manipulation of weapons in both their base element and in states of pure chakra creation. At the moment I'm only able to construct weapons from base elements such as metal, stone, wood, even dirt," He paused again and continued with the demonstration. He first broke down the shuriken to their base element as he had in the genin exams then pumped the raw metal with chakra and began to form it into a long, but thin dagger.
► "As you can see I'm able to manipulate certain base elements or materials into virtually any weapon I can imagine, the only prerequisite being that I have to be advanced in at least one weapon type in order to create any weapon that I please," Again he paused to collect his thoughts and break down the dagger to raw metal yet again "You may be wondering what weapon type that is, well to answer that question I've chosen swords. Which would include any type of sword out there."
► As he gave the two a minute to absorb the information he reformed the metal again until it had thinned to a flat razor sharp blade with a leather bound hilt. "The katana is one of main choices of swords, I prefer it's speed and balance in combat." He took a few practice swings on the dummies, his blade moving at a lightning fast pace, its edge dancing patterns on the rough armor of the combat dummies.
► "And well that about covers it, as I unlock the future stages of my bloodline I'll be able to craft weapons in a state of chakra, and as I progress the cost will lessen and the weapons become much easier to craft," With the final note he sheathed his katana where it rested between his shoulder blades and waited for his sensei to take his turn in the spotlight. ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆

"Interesting combination, you two. As for me, my name is Olver Nimbus, a clan that ironically possesses skill with wind. On a similar note, my desire is personal, but I do care deeply for my home, and will protect it any way I can. I don't have much speed, but my taijutsu strength can brutally crush bones when a foe is unprepared. My ninjutsu has become strong with much practice, although genjutsu, I only have skill in seeing through, not actual execution."
He took a deep breath, and released it, unfolding his wings so they spread out as much as they could. They were black and appeared to be those of a dragon. "My bloodline is the Dragon Soul, and allows me to tap into various techniques like that of a dragon's." He pulls out a sword, slashing a dummy from a distance, leaving a large gash without the blade even coming close to touching it. "As you can see, wind is a powerful element when used properly." Sheathing his sword, he continues with the lecture.
"By forging a summoning contract with a dragon, I can fully bond with the source of our techniques. As a result, the user gains the wings of a dragon, learning flight on their own. The rest of the bloodline possesses no physical traits, but allows the user to have naturally more durable skin, and learn a technique for seeing through genjutsu better."

╚════════════════╝ "Yes," Hikaru agreed, "Wind is a powerful element, although I hope you'll forgive me for preferring water, I hope,"
He smiled, a little blandly at this point, and the silence grew awkward. Apparently, Oliver Nimbus was a of man a few words.
"Um, Sensei, I think that the next logical thing to do would be for you to test our strength and teamwork with a sparring match. That's what I've heard most sensei do, but, um, of course, the choice is entirely up to you,"
Eisenmeteor appeared in a flurry of light and Hikaru hid behind it, mortified that he had just attempted to tell his own sensei what to do. どのように殺人者のためふさわしい

Oliver looked at him. Though he could be a bit strict at times, he was humble enough to acknowledge when he heard a good idea. "Actually, that'll help me guage the two of you just fine. I'll stick to the basics, you two come at me withatever you want. Begin." He cracks his knuckles a bit, awaiting the first move from his students, curious to see what they'll come up with, and how they'll work together.

╚══════════════════╝ Hikaru nodded and made a set of handseals, after summoning Silfarion, his Sonic Sword. Water Clones popped out of the pond, holding black and orange versions of Silfarion. "Top Formation, 5," he said to them. They nodded in acknowledgement, before seeming to vanish. Two blurs could be seen flying around Hikaru and Ken, and the gleam of metal warned away any attacks that might come at them. Coupled with the speed, only an attack of great, sudden force would get through them.
"Okay, Ken, you can make any weapon, correct?" he asked, his fingers twitching anxiously on the sword.

As the question escaped his lips he unsheathed his katana, and slipped into a ready stance. Although they may seem pretty well protected it didn't hurt to be on his guard. ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆ ☆═━┈┈━═☆

╚══════════════════╝ "Okay," Hikaru said, "This is what I need you to do,"
He stood on his toes and braced himself on Ken's shoulder before whispering in his ear. He quirked his head, asking if Ken understood, then stepped back and made a "Release" hand seal. His clones dissipated into water, leaving the blur behind, and as it slowly ran down, Hikaru flipped Silfarion expertly in his hand, wielding it in a reverse grip, and sinking low to the ground.
"Let's go, partner," he murmured. どのように殺人者のためふさわしい

╚══════════════╝
Doubt those who find it." ► Ken nodded to communicate that he'd understood Hikaru's plan. He rummaged in his pack and pulled out two handfuls of scrap metal. He broke them down as he did earlier then began to separate the metal into six equal pieces. From there he began to form each piece into a long sharp blade, when he was finished he held 6 long swords in front of him and at the ready. With telekinesis he shot the blades up into the air above Oliver and then once they'd reached a considerable height he sent them spiraling down at terminal velocity towards his sensei.
"Try that one on for size sensei," He called out, letting a grin play across his face.
