Art of Substitution: 400 Skill Points
"now i am going to teach you the art of substitution. as you have seen it is a skill that requires a lot of speed and percision. at the last moment you must switch your body with some near by object, so that the object the hit and not you. due it to early and you oponent might be able to detect it, to late and you might take some damage. so are you ready for it?"Seya's voice seemed to be coming from many difrent places. a scrool drooped to where Kekkaishi was. he picked it up and looked at it. it contained instructions on how to do the jutsu.
((art of substitution:1/4))

Kekkaishi sighed as he read it this is trouble some. so he is going to attack me. but from where?his voice can be the result of some kage bushin, or it could be the effect of his speed. or even better yet that mist ninja technique. hmm where is sensie from he seems skilled to know so many jutsu's. or am i overestimating him?or could it be? yes i got it that is to distract me becouse he can be atackign me from the one place i would never suspect.he calmed down a began to feel his heart beat. he keeped his eyes opnly slightly opened he saw the ifgure of his sensie running so fast he seemed to leave behind a clone
((art of substitution:2/4))

Kekkaihsi knew his timing had to be perfect. he had to get his teacher of guard and he would only have one chance, one place to be able to catch him like that. he began to run always looking to his right,left and back.always seeing the shade of his sensie as he continued rungin aroudn him in a circle. he suddenly stopped. breathing hard he closed his eyes concetration his chackra on the what he was about to do he began to make the handsings for it.Seya could not belive his eyes he knew those handsign.he cant posibly know that tchnique? damn it i must attack now.
((art of substitution:3/4

The clones all rushed towards Kekkaishi.Kekkaishi just smiled as he stopped the handsing he was doing to get into fighting position.yes i stoped him kekkaishi looked serius as he threw kunai at the clones. the cliones all vanished as soon as the kunai reach them. he stood waiting.he quickly brought out his usari-gama and used it to clang wiht his sensie who attacked him from behind."sensie you have fallen for my trap. what i really had to watch otu was for the"a hand came out of the ground and grabed his footthe foot turned into a log. Kekkaishi laghed as he helled kicked the hand."if you would let me finsish. the real threat came from the ground"
(( art of substitution:4/4))

She glared down at Ebisu who was strapping something to her ankles. The urge to kick him in the face grew more and more with each ticking second that passed. 'Show control! Show control!' "Hey Perv, mind telling me why you won't stop touching me? It's really unnerving." "I'm putting weights on so we can start the next training session. And need you phrase things like that!?! You do understand what kind of trouble I could get into if some one heard that, right?!?" "Fully, which is why I said that so loud. Now, what about these weights on my legs?" "You're going to do weight running!"
((Weight Running: 1/3))

"....... Weight... running?.......... Interesting name. What the heck do I do?" "Simple. You're going to wear these weights and run." "Oh geeze, as thought the name doesn't explain itself. So all I have to do is run with these weights on?" "That's the basic. But stay in this area." "Yeah sure, ok." She turned and started running in the area se was told to stay in, feeling the weights slow her down and cause her some imbalance.
((Weight Running: 2/3))

After about running for half an hour, Kikyo felt a little tired. Ebisu smirked as he pulled out a kunia and threw it at her. She barely missed and glared up at him. "You didn't think I'd just having you running, did you?" Suddenly, a series of bombs went off near her and she started running a little faster to avoid them. Ebisu continued to release bombs and other trapps for the next4 hours. By the time he said she could take a break, Kikyo was so pissed off that she took her weights and flung them at his head, knocking him out once again.

Ebisu grinned widely. "You should be very happy right now." She looked at him with a bored expression. "... Why? Are you dieing of some incurable disease?" "Huh? No. What would make you think that?" "One can only hope for a miracle. What do you want you creepy perv?" "We're doing our second to last training before you graduate: chakara molding!" She flinched. "I don't like the sounnd of this. This requires me to practice chakara, doesn't it?" "Why, yes it does. And don't complain. It's required to be good at controlling your chakara if you want to be a good ninja."
((Chakara Molding: 1/5))

She groaned like she was in extreme pain. "I don wonnaaa! Can't we just go back to trying to break my ribs by dropping 600 lbs on me?" "Now now Kikyo, this is the second to last thing before you graduate. Deal with it. Now, activate your chakara." She groaned as she did the hand sign to activate her chakara, only using a small amount. 'This is so stupid. I hate having to mess with my chakaa. It's so hard! Why do I have to have a freakishly high amount? Why couldn't I just have a little bit of chakara so it'd be easier to control?'
((Chakara Molding: 2/5))

He lifted an eyebrow. "What's this? Are you trying to slack off Kikyo? Get serious. When I say activate your chakara, then that means you need to summon all that you've got." She sighed and consentrated on surrounding herself in a layer of about 1/2 a cm worth of chakara. "Come on! Get serious Kikyo!" "I am! Do you know how hard it is for me to do this?" "Don't try pittying me Kikyo. You should be glad to have what ever talents you have, but how should we know what abilities you have when you don't try." "I am Perv! Can't you see how much I'm struggling though?!?" "Use that struggle to your advantage. Push yourself past your limits. How will you know you can do better when you're half assing it the way you always do."
((Chakara Molding: 3/5))

She growled as she gritted her teeth and activated even more, the chakara around her starting to form a small sphere. "Well? Is this good enough for you Perv?" "Don't just go with what's expected. Push past your limits. Show me what you can do. Do you really want to be a ninja?" "Yes, I do!" "Then summon all your strength and show me!" "But what if I can't?" "Cut it out. Try. Really give it some effort. If you don't, then you would only last a few seconds in the real world with howbad your chakara control is."
((Chakara Molding: 4/5))

She finnally chose to use all the chakara she had at the moment. But even then it was still quite a bit. So much chakara flowed from her in such a suden rush that it started to break the ground a little. She started to pant before falling to the ground and passing out. Ebisu smirked. "Congrats. You did pretty good. I'm impressed. Now get some rest. You deserve it." She smiled weakily at him from under the mask that covered the lower half of her face. "Thanks Perv. I guess I should have listened to you and gave it all I had the first time. I guess you aren't such a lousy sensei after all." She fell to the ground and instantly passed out. Ebisu chuckled quietly to himself. "It's hard to remember you're only 16 when you're 6 foot and look so grown up and talk tough. Maybe I did push you too hard, but.... It was definately worth it to see those kind of results." He sat down and waited for her to wake up.

Temaru walked up to the ninja academy with a sigh as he looked around for anyone else who will be training with him and hopefully even a teacher. He was a little excited to learn a jutsu to add to his own created jutsu. He leaned up against a tree and started up at the clouds as they wondered by with his hands in his pockets. Though he prefered the moon to the clouds, he had to do something or else he would fall asleep. Before he knew it, everything was pitch dark and he heard a little girls voice. It took him awhile to figure that he was sleep. He slowly opened one eye and saw a little girl with purple hair. He eyes showed that she had no pupils but it was clear that she wasn't blind.

Namine glanced at the sleeping boy before she woke him up, "Excuse me. Are you the teacher? I am ready to learn a jutsu."

Temaru sighs and closed his eyes again before opening them both, "Do I really look like a teacher to you?"

Namine face turned red as she looked to the ground, "Oh....ah...sorry."

Temaru sighs once more before speaking, "I am Nara, Temaru. So I guess you haven't seen the sensei either."

Namine shook her head and then revealed her name, "I am Namine of the Hyuuga clan."

With a grin, Temaru got to his feet, "Well that explains your eyes."

Out of nowhere, a woman who looked like she was in her early twenties or maybe a little older, appeared in front of them. She looked at the two with a crazy grin, "Sorry I kept you guys waiting but you should be honored to have me as your sensei. You can call me Anko. Today, you will learn the art of substitution. Then maybe you have a better chance of not dieing."

((Art of Substitution 1/4))

[Half way down,I estimate, one more post, with this one's rate.. xD]
Bikou, Tosatsu walks slowly up to the academy, frowning slightly as he looks around slowly. Who possibly could expect anyone, to be able to train in such a place? He wonders as he slowly spreads his gaze to the area around him. Tosatsu's arms were crossed across his chest, his long sword sheathed and held in his right hand as he walked towards the fields they use for training. Maybe he will get a few matches in, against a dummy, or some kunai practice. It did not really matter to him, he could simply sit around, sleeping all day. Having nothing really better to do then that, why not? With a slight shrug, Tosatsu steps onto the training fields, his left hand falling to the side, and continuing to hold the black sheath of his long sword, whilst he looks around. Sure, there were a few people training, but it wasn't as if he had to hop on in and help them out, he could just sit around, watching and laughing, as far as they cared, he bet. A soft landing was heard behind him, as a shinobi landed on the ground, Tosatsu raises an eyebrow, turning around and raising his long sword, which was already out of it's sheath, at the shinobi's throat. The trainer raises a hand, pushing the blade away with little worry, lining what could be seen of his half hidden scarfed face. Tosatsu raises an eyebrow, looking this shinobi trainer over, before slowly sliding his long sword back into it's black sheath, the blade seeming to gleam off of any near by light, before it was fully hidden. "I don't feel like dealing with your useless training..." Tosatsu says to the shinobi before him. Just before he turns and begins waking away. When his back was turned, the trainer shinobi reveals the pair of serious training weights and throws them at Tosatsu's back, effectively catching the Hidden Void Village Academy student off guard. Tosatsu topples forward, though soon catching his balance and turning to glare at this teacher shinobi. "How dare you attack me, with weights none the less... If you wish to fight me, draw your weapon and proceed!" Tosatsu demands, placing his hand on his own sword's hilt, as he waits for this shinobi to draw a weapon and attack. The training shinobi before him simply shakes his head, in a slow deliberate manor, before they speak. "You need to put the weights on first... Wouldn't want you running about, without getting any exercise" he says, before gesturing with a black gloved hand, to the serious training weights. Tosatsu slowly shrugs, kneeling and then placing the weights on his legs in order to slow himself down, Tosatsu figured, it as for this slow teacher shinobi could keep up with him. When the weights were fully secured, The teacher shinobi says, "I am known as Ares, in some places.. That is what you may call me... Now let us begin.." Bringing his hand behind his back, Ares drew forth, seemingly from no where, a glistening katana. With a simply spin, mearly a trick of the wrist, Ares positioned the blade of the weapon before him and stood in a battle stance, showing that he was indeed ready. Tosatsu nods, slowly drawing his long sword from it's sheath. He planned to play fair, so that he did not defeat this shinobi too easily. Before Tosatsu's sword was even half way from it's sheath, Ares was moving forward, slashing horizontally at Tosatsu, even though the slash was simply a strong hit into Tosatsu's half sheathed sword's blade. Tosatsu blinks in surprise, leaping backwards to evade any further attacks as he looks over his opponent, with a little more respect. His arms stung a little, from that first unexpected attack, he had just barely managed to keep a grip on both the sheath, and the sword itself. Instantly Tosatsu's mind was forming counter measures, even as he was running forward, sweeping his now unsheathed sword at Ares' legs. Though, naturally, Ares managed to leap over the attack, and kick down at at the back of Tosatsu's head, before landing on the ground behind him. As the attack implied, Tosatsu rocketed forward, slamming into the ground, and skidding a little, face first. He then slowly rises to his feet, running his hand under his nose, and wiping away a little blood, that was already trickling from the harsh impact.Interesting moves... Tosatsu thinks, before raising his sword and running forward, as fast as the weights on his legs would allow. Raising his black hilted long sword with both hands, Tosatsu slashes down in a vertical arc at Ares, who literally leaps to the side, countering with a punch to Tosatsu's side. Tosatsu attempts a dodge of his own, though he slips on his on footing and almost falls, the impact only throwing off his balance further. Slowly regaining his balance, just in time to knock away a slash from Ares, Tosatsu raises an eyebrow slightly. He hoped this was not a win or lose kind of thing... A, kill or be killed type of fight, is not exactly the best type of training. Tosatsu ducks to the side, avoiding a slash from Ares' katana, as he pushes his long sword's tip forward, through Ares' defenses and into his body. With a grin, he watches, waiting to see Ares fall to the ground in pain, instead, he witnesses the familiar poof, of a clone vanishing. "I was fighting a clone!?" He practically yells, partially in anger, and partially in annoyance. A chuckling sound came from near by, as what Tosatsu assumed was the real Ares walked into view. "Why yes, you were..." Ares says, before his chuckle turns into an all out laugh. Tosatsu raises an eyebrow, lunging forward, though instead of attacking with his long sword, he flicks three senbon from within his haori and throws them at Ares. Ares, looking slightly shocked at this sudden, and accurate throw, barely manages to leap out of the way in time to save himself, though suffering from a few minor scratches from when he leaped to the side. "Die.." Tosatsu says continuing to run forward, as he slashes down at Ares, his arm shaking from the force, as his slash is deflected by Ares' own blade. Their blades lock as a small struggle for power insues, then, in an instant, the tide of the battle turns. Ares's facial expression changes as he pushes upwards with more force, effectively knocking Tosatsu into the air. At the same moment, Ares was then standing and leaping upwards seeming to glid through the air before he as above Tosatsu and then stomps down on Tosatsu's unprotected stomach, forcing Tosatsu back don to the ground, with a good deal of force, causing the ground to crack a little. Ares finishes the attack, with a back flip through the air, to land on the ground on one knee. "Heh... Shouldn't have thought you would win..." Hours later, Tosatsu awoke in the same spot, blood in a small pool around him, though it appeared as if his wounds had been healed. Tosatsu slowly sits up and looks around, raising an eyebrow at the lack of any trace of someone having been here to help him. "So you're awake.. Eh?" Ares asked, as he walks up to the small crator here Tosatsu was now sitting. A slight unseen smirk on his lips, beneath the scarf he was always wearing. Tosatsu slowly stands, lifting his long sword from where it had landed in the crator and leaping upwards, slashing at Ares with a swift and string horizontal sing. Though Ares appeared to manage to have leaned backwards, dodging the slash. Without hesitation, Tosatsu slashed again, this time Ares was not so lucky, the slash made a straight cut across his chest. Tosatsu grins as he sees the wound, resisting the odd temptation to stick his tongue out at this teacher shinobi known as Ares. Though all this was thought in seconds, Tosatsu was already forced to leap back, as he blocked a slash from Ares' drawn katana. Frowning, Ares continued attacking, moving ever forward and continuing to slash, making Tosatsu waste energy with the constant defensive strikes. Glancing back and forth, Tosatsu tried to find an opening, until suddenly one was spotted. He smirks, one of the two retractable blades he had on either arm, sliding out, as he plunges the blade through Ares' defenses and towards Ares' stomach. Oddly enough, Tosatsu struck, though missing anything that could have killed Ares. There was now a large gash, on Ares' side. Tosatsu's retractable blade slides back, as he begins his own barrage of attacks on Ares striking every which way, in order to get a direct hit, once again. Tosatsu smirks, continuing his relentless attack, as he forces Ares to back away towards the lip of the crator behind him. Each slash, strong enough to make Ares take one more step back, until without warning, Tosatsu was kicked backwards, Ares had noticed a break in his slashing, and used the opportunity, to not only knock Tosatsu off his feet, but also a good few feet away from him, Tosatsu skid across the ground for another foot, then shifted and slowly rose to his feet. He blinks a couple times, seeing his long sword closer to Ares, then to himself. Damnit... He thinks to himself, as he stands and then runs forward towards Ares. Sliding across the ground, he grabs his long sword from the ground, and kicks upwards, thankfully hitting, and sending Ares up into the air. Though Ares quickly recovered and landed a small distance away without an injury. Tosatsu frowns, adjusting his grip on his sword, before rushing forward, once again flicking three senbon in Ares' direction. Once again, Ares barely dodged, but for Tosatsu, that was the plan all along. He was on that other side in a heart beat, raising his foot and landing a hard kick into Ares' fleeting side. Knocking him to the ground, back the other way. Tosatsu smirks, as he regains a fighting stance. Ares, for once, skid across the ground, before stopping and rising to his feet. He turns, to face a glare in Tosatsu's direction, then lifts a discarded senbon from the ground and throws it in Tosatsu's direction. Not expecting this, the senbon pierces Tosatsu's arm, though not hitting anything vital. Tosatsu frowns, looking at the wound, before pulling the needle out. "So far so good... But I hate to say, that you wont last much longer then this, against me..." Ares says, as he glares at Tosatsu.

Tosatsu glares at Ares, as he then replaces the senbon where it belongs, no point in wasting a perfectly good weapon. He then shifts his long sword in his hand, and dashes forward, raising the blade in either hand and slashing down vertically, before twisting the blade in his hand and pulling it back up in a diagonal pattern. His gaze never leaving Ares' form as he then pushes the tip of the blade forward, hoping for a direct impalement. Mean while, Ares raises his katana, to push both the first and the second attack away, taking steps back in the process to avoid the clashing of blades again. As the lunging attack, towards Ares' stomach comes into the combo. Ares smirks, dropping his katana so the tip of the blade pointed towards the ground, then pushing out, causing the lunge to miss his side completely. "You're not a match for me, I am clearly stronger..." Ares says to Tosatsu, as Tosatsu blinks a couple times, then slams his foot down, towards Ares' knee. This unexpected attack, forcing Ares to drop to his knees in pain, as Tosatsu raises his long sword for the finishing blow."Alright! Alright! You win! You pass! Go on out of here and graduate or whatever!!" Ares yells, cowering backwards, in the hopes that he is not attacked and killed. His sword left forgotten at his side. Tosatsu raises an eyebrow, and for a second he believes Ares, but then again, he also managed to not believe him, leaping backwards just in time to avoid a thrown kunai, from the exact same figure, that was just begging for mercy. Ares stood again, though keeping weight off his wounded knee, he ran at Tosatsu, ducking and sweeping his katana off the ground, before slashing horizontally at Tosatsu's neck. Tosatsu ducks to the side, actually moving towards the swing blade, and then under it, as he plants one hand on the ground, and thrusts a kick at Ares' stomach. Ares, for once expecting the sudden kick, grabs Tosatsu's leg and pulls, causing Tosatsu to fall off balance and to the ground. Then, using a good deal of strength, Ares spin once and threw Tosatsu away from the area, making him be swung deeper into the training field before crashing into one of the fighting dummies. Tosatsu slowly rises to his feet, feeling blood dripping from the wounds across his body, due to all these power packed attacks. He shakes his head slowly, pushing his long black hair form his eyes, before he slides the long sword into the sheath at his waist. "Time... To play..." He says, as both retractable blades on his arms flick out, he dashes forward, forcing his legs to move against the weights that slowed him down, as he slashes in an arcing movement of one arm, as he pushes the blade on the second arm towards Ares' stomach. Ares leaps backwards, taking wounds, but not as bad as they would possibly have been. He then slashes with his katana, figuring that this would finish off the defenseless opponent he was facing. Never mind the fact that Tosatsu was badly wounded, and weighed down to be slower. None the less, Tosatsu manages to move cleanly around this attack, ducking down and sweeping his retractable blades at Ares' legs, hoping to drop Ares to his knees once again. If he could manage that, he would turn and run in the next instant. Ares leaped upwards, jumping over Tosatsu and landing behind him, as he turns and plunges his blade towards Tosatsu's exposed back. Though this time, Tosatsu was expecting an attack from behind. He twists around, raising one foot and using it to kick the weapon away, before shifting to have both feet in the air, using the other to kick Ares away. Ares crashes across the ground, though soon standing, and having not gone far, he smirks. "This ends... Here..."
