San was caught a little off guard as Kumiko burried herself in his sage coat, and his body instinctively went to a warm nurturing hug. Realizing what had just happened, the ninja had a small grin went solemn one as he went to one knew, holding Kumiko at jsut a little inside arms distance with a warm and gentle grip on both her shoulders. While this was usualy a method so the child could see eye to eye with the parent figure, San was blindfolded. However, his emotions could still be portrayed through his facial expressions, and that is what kumiko would need right now. He spoke in a soft voice despite the other commotion going around.
"Hey now, its ok, you did great. Feeling uneasy is a natural part of growth. I know it is hard for you at your age, but remember that you are having to study these horrible, scary, and often gross things to help keep your friends alive. In the field, when they get hurt or injured, most of their lives will fall souley onto your hands, and the more your get under your belt now...the less people you will see burried and the less funerals you will go to. My father had a saying..."the more we sweat in training the less we bleed in battle." So use that as your motivation...dont let these things scare you...cause when your friends are injured they will need to see a calm, collected, and confident kumiko face to believe when you tell them "they are going to be ok." your doing great though....wanna watch San have some fun?"
San gave a quick grin to Aika before he stood up tall, and then spoke in a more stern and colder tone then he did with kumiko.
"remember, the purpose of each action is to finish the enemy. When you block, you attack, when you dodge, you attack, when your faking you attack. You smother your enemy into submission from first action....to last!"
Eh, it was time to give aika some real practice. how good would she be when the pressure was thrown on top of her? and san wanted to try some of his new taijutsu skills too, should be fun enough. San would pendulum his hips with a front kick aimed for the genins gut, while leaping with a second front kick aimed for the gennins chin. To complete the brutally quick combination, San then torqured his hips to allow a front punch to rocket forward for the solar plexus of the young genin. At the end of the combination, the sannin would quickly off angle his attack, allowing him to have a more mobile center as well as have a more effective means of continuing his onslaught.
Why would san start a spar like this? the Same reason san would make getting his ramen a mission.....awarness and preparedness....

i dont normally do this, but this is a friendly spar, so here you go
Coiled Snake Physical :: D The user makes a small step forward, compressing the body like a coiled snake. Rocketing his body forward while twisting his hips, the user rockets a quick punch, front hand or back hand, towards the opponent like a snake. The user usually aims for the face or torso.
Extending Rooster Physical :: D The user sinks their body by bending their knees, while at the same time lifting a single knee about chest level. Shifting their hips forward like in a pendulum motion, the user quickly extends their leg in a powerful front kick aiming for the opponent, quickly followed by another kick by jumping forward with the back leg. This is a versatile technique that can be used to off balance an enemy aiming for the legs or an attacking limb, or go straight through and aim for the enemies face or torso. This technique is very easily followed up by “Coiled snake”.
Tenken Physical :: D The user, after entering and closing the distance with the target, will off angle their entire body on a 90 degree angle. Not only does this allow for more attacks to come from different and weird angles for the opponent to have to deal with, it also limits the angles and directions the opponent can mount a successful counter attack from.
Causing Fissures Training :: A The user has trained so extensively in the art of kicking, that they actually are now vastly better at it. Their impacting sites are toughened, and they are able to maximizing the amount of force their body can physically put out. Lower body striking power is increased.

Aika's eyes went wide when San's voice changed. She knew she was going to be attacked now and worked quickly to soak in his words as best she could. Her defenses needed to be attacks to satisfy this person for this spar. She let out a little squeak of surprise at the first attack. She got her arms up in time but his boots would end up scraping bloody welts into her arms from the impacts. Nothing serious but definitely a noticeable pain. When the next kick came she popped her hip and extended one of her arms up, the serpents coming forward from her wrists and working to wrap up the leg. The same would be done with the punch as she attempted to wrap up the various attacking body parts with hissing, bitey, and not to forget suggestive coils of muscle and fang. She was then already taking a moment to make her bells ring out in various melodies to perform some sort of combination with these snakes and her jutsu.
Jagei Jubaku [ Snake Authority Spell ] X2 Rank: C Official Description: Jagei Jubaku is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Orochimaru and Sasuke. Using Orochimaru's snake abilities, the two men can extend large snakes from their sleeves, which will coil around the target and bind them. The further addition of the user's murderous intent can weaken their target's resolve. With the removal of Orochimaru from Sasuke, this ability may be gone. Guild Description: Releases large snakes from the user’s sleeves which can be used to bind opponents. Can be used in conjunction with Kanashibari no Jutsu to paralyze opponents while the snakes bind them.

The moment Aika's snakes would seek to wrap and constrict themselves around him, the first point of contact, she would notice something was amazingly wrong with the situation. San had a horrible cheeky grin on his face, and the snakes seemed to be unable to move agaisnt him. Infact, the seemed to be turning around to make their way back for aika!
Aika in fact, would find movement extremely difficult if not impossible, like there were several different forces pulling on her at once to keep her still. Her bells would stay still, mostly an an attempt to stop her counter attack, no matter how hard she tried to move. It was like she was constricted by a prison she couldnt taste nor small nor touch.
The snakes themselves would almost seem to return to constrict around aika, as san was now free. Buzzsaws would seemingly appear out of nowhere, spinning silently except for the disturbance the air made. they would be on either side of aika's head, about 3 feet away. From here, San spoke.
"When close, appear far, when far, appear close. I told you that every action should be used to usurp and defeat your opponent. now im going to tell you combinations. Now single technique will ever defeat anybody, you have to have a plan. You plan has to be really ******** good if you want to lay a hand on me."
San would seemingly end his control over her, ti let her practice the things that he had just explained, but the snakes were still utterly useless, and should probably be sent expelled and sent away. The buzzsaws still remained active, alluding to a form of threat that the young gennin would now need to respond to. San jsut simply stood there, a cheeky grin on his face.

[Passive] Character: Sanshi Satetsu Technique Name: Eye Weaving Seals Rank: X (A for training) Type: Ninjutsu Element: Maruton Description: After a vast amount of research in the art of hand seals, speed up by his trip to the void and great skill in the art of ninjutsu, Sanshi has developed a style of of ninjutsu. Utilizing his eye movement patterns to activate ninjutsu instead of hand seals San is now capable of making his ninjutsu activate much more stealthy, and often confusing the enemy as too its origin. These techniques maintain the same description and criteria to use, as well as require the same amount of time to mold the chakra as would be needed to perform hand seals, meaning the techniques are not instantaneously cast.
Character: Sanshi Satetsu Technique Name: Iron Mind of the Master. Rank: E-S+ Type: Bloodline - Passive Element: Iron. Description: Iron Master is, simply put, training San has done to better master the base manipulation of his bloodline abilities. Namely, the iron sand itself. With each rank trained, San has better control thus allowing more complex shape formation, manipulation, and usage of the magnetic properties. Thus, he lessens the strain on his body, mind, and chakra. [E would be a minuscule amount, where S would be massive amounts. Each level must be trained before attained. chakra cost goes down by 5 for every rank obtained]
[active] Toroi's Magnetic Shuriken [ Unnamed ] Rank: E Official Description: This unnamed shuriken jutsu used by Cloud ninja Toroi utilizes the Magnetic Element. Using his ability to generate Jiton, Toroi will magnetize his string of shuriken. Should these shuriken come into contact with an enemy, they will in turn become magnetized. This power is such that it will even pass from a held weapon on to their body. To avoid becoming magnetized, the victim must totally dodge the shuriken launch. With the enemy body now magnetized, Toroi will summon his gigantic shuriken which will be attracted to the magnetized foe. Guild Description: Using a single handsign, the user will follow up with any sort of physical attack. If it connects within 2 of the user's posts, the target will become forcefully magnetized in their entirety, including non-metallic objects, for 2 of their posts.
Satetsu Kesshuu [ Iron Sand Gathering Assault ] Rank B This technique gathers a great volume of iron sand and compresses it into a high-density shape. This greatly increases the hardness, creating a gigantic steel-like weapon in an instant. The weight and size of these shapes are so great, they can easily shatter bedrock and break through most defences with one hit. Because the weapon is made out of iron sand, the shape can be whatever the user wants, and can even be changed during the fight. This allows the user to create the best weapon for the fight, by taking into account the opponent's abilities and the surrounding environment.

Aika released the snakes the moment she had control over her body once more. She didn't feel like being bitten honestly. She observed san for a moment, ignoring his grin and forcing herself to calm and slow her heart beat a few beats per minute. The air from those saw like things was just annoying but they didn't seem to move at the moment. She looked at each of the whirring blades briefly while thinking for just a moment. She brought her chin back up to look at san and nodded. She tapped her foot against the ground and placed her hands in a formless taijutsu stance looking at him. She looked to be ready for something. She had a small plan formed in her mind but not much of one. She felt it would have to do though. She waited for a heartbeats time before moving towards San with some caution. She looked to be making a simple rushed punch attack at him, her bells now jingling freely as she went. There was no form behind her attack, no deceit in her eyes at the moment, just a simple run and punch aimed for nothing on san in particular.

Adaptation, improvisation, she was good....but something was still lacking. He had some many extra buttons he had to press, so many little cracks to test to insure her growth. hopefully others would be taking notes......
As she would rush san, a clone of him would materialize directly behind him, and as the punch neared, the real version would perform a substitution tech with the clone using his superb reflexes. now with the clone directly in the way o the attack, the clone would simply fad away for a moment, making the fist seem almost like it would touch but to no avail. bursting himself back in, the clone would aim a powerful open palm swipe attack for the head of Aika.
San himself would just move to be a few more paces away, about to watch the action from the side lines. would she have noticed this wasnt the real san she was fighting?

At Aika's level of experience she wouldn't notice the seamless swap San made. But her plan involved getting somewhat close anyway and the clone was now apparently the target. At least he would have a better viewpoint from wherever he went. She had no plans on her attack actually making contact and thus was careful not to overextend herself in the attack, basic as it was. When her fist didn't make contact, her foot however would. As it touched the ground in front of the San clone, the ground would rapidly rise and toss her into the air. The rising ground would be severed off underneath almost like sheetrock in preparation for the next stage of her plan. She inverted herself while drawing her shuriken from their location on her body and put her chakra into them, throwing a spread at the back of San as his attack went through. The throw was in a spread of 4, forming a U shape with one on each side and two in the center to maximize her chances of a hit, now with a backstop in sans front. With her inverted in the air it left little for her to dodge with, however she would land several feet behind the san clone if given the chance.
Sekkai Saka [ Rock Hill Creation ] Rank: D-S (matches technique with D rank for narrow escape) Official Description: A large hill made of rock is created. The slope is very steep and made of non-grip-able shale rock. It is useful as a defensible platform to perform other techniques from. For every rank, the hill goes up 15 feet. Guild Description: The user stomps a foot, causing the earth to rise them up to the designated effect.
Nadeshiko-Ryū Shinku Enbu [ Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance ] Rank: C Official Description: The user launches a large barrage of kunai with deadly accuracy. This is seemingly almost impossible to dodge. Guild Description: The chakra is used to both increase the accuracy to 100% & the speed of the launched kunai is tripled.

Ah yes, so the young lady did have some tricks in her figurative snakey sleeves after all. This was a much better tactic, and one San was impressed with her doton control to be able to produce. But even though it was effective, it still lacked the true essence of a momentum changing counter attack the sannin had been looking for her to produce. but this was a definite step in the right direction.
As she was valuted into the air san too would reach to grab several kunai. While to many people this would take several moments, using the jiton capabilities to san this took a mere thought as the kunai were jerked into his hands. Pulsing his own chakra into them, the ninja was going to aim them for the girl, only to see her plan was similar. in a moments edit, san unleashed his own burst of kunai for her own, and a sound of metal on metal would ring through the university walls as the kunai fell to the ground below.
following her descending vector, the san clone would jump into the air on an intercept vector unleashing a fast backfist style attack for the young ladies cheek, not only as an attack but also as a distraction for his main purpose. continuing the spinning momentum the clone aimed a spinning side kick for her solar plexus, attempting to get the timing just right so that when it hit it would be right before they both landed. This was not just a striking aim, but also an aim to take the feet right out front under her too, and with his ressuuken trained legs, the sheer force could be quit unsettling.

As the attack came towards her Aika puckered her lips and let out a shrill echoing whistle. This whistle as in the chord of G therefore making it a music piece and causing the rock that was raised as her previous backstop to be swapped with her current position. As she was still slightly off the ground she spun herself and sank into the earth to be out of the blast of the large chunk of explosive fragmentation boulder. She wouldn't surface immediately, just waiting under ground with her hands held in a seal.
Bakuyaku Iwa Kawarimi [ Explosive Stone Body Replacement ] Rank: C Official Description: This jutsu replaces the body with a large stone or even a boulder. There is a rather dangerous difference though, the boulder that replaces the stone-nin’s body is explosive and if struck explodes with the force of several explosive notes.

Guild Description: Making a single handsign, the user will focus on a single point, & the eyeball will form there from sand around them. Holding one eye closed, one will be able to use the Third Eye as they would normally. A better version of the Maruton version.

Ah! well that was a little more like it! The explosion would rock the university slightly, and if san wasnt blindfolded woulda caused him to halve to advert his eyes even from his safe distance. it did cause san to have to materialize some barriers to keep some insignificant scraps and bits away from him, though the shrapnel was insignificant in respect to the capabilities of his satetsu. When aika sank into the ground, San could only frown. She like so many other students would learn, that the ground would betray them...because the belonged to HIM!
Blazing through some hand seals, the earth would suddenly start to vortex beneath aika in the ground, using her own doton chakra to actually make it stronger (please read counterbalancing for more details). the vortex would hold her in place sufficiently underground, while san almost simultaneously pulled and formed iron sand in the ground, almost as if the vortex was made of the iron sand, begin to wrap itself like a body suit or latex. While he himself would never actually finish off a student like this, it seemed it would be an ultimate test of aika's will to escape and get back to a combative standing. underground, possibly stuck, and having a swarm of iron sand aiming nearly instantly glomp you and molest you like the blob monster...s**t was looking pretty bad...

Iron sand created this way can then be used on the spot, or stored for a later time. It should be noted that iron sand can be melted by fire techniques at least two [2] rank higher than them. Atop that, iron sand that is almost, if not completely melted cannot be controlled by Satetsu bloodline means. ___ Rank D: Small to medium amounts of earth/metal to iron sand.

Satetsu Kyuu [ Iron Sand Coffin ] Rank B The user will force iron sand to crawl up on their target. The sand will then wrap up and around, until it fully encases the target. As the sand encloses, it will apply a crushing amount of pressure, more than capable of grinding bones. Although it is almost an assured hit after it makes contact, it is a rather slow technique.

Aika wiggled her foot down against the dirt, sending her chakra deep into the ground. As she did she would take a kunai and make hold it above her with both hands braced on the point. A pillar of shale would erupt from the ground using the kunai as a force multiplier to push through any sand in her way from the force of her jutsu. She would have cuts down any exposed flesh on her but would erupt from the ground and raise roughly 40 feet in the air (minus the 5 she was in the ground for from 45 feet due to rank. ).

The young man was back again, this time lugging around what appeared to be a wooden dummy with a crown carved into it's back. Zelkova laid it on the ground for a moment and used it as a makeshift headrest. He thought it best to take a nap before starting some exercise.
In his dreams, his academy days ran through his head once again. Hundreds of different memories flashing by as moving pictures, till one in particular caught his eye that started to overtake the other images. It grew and grew till Zel was again the young academy student so many years ago. He smiled as he saw his deceased teachers in their prime, strapping on ridiculously heavy(for a kid) weights on his legs, arms and torso.
Then they made the young Zel run, and run and run and run. For several weeks he did nothing but bear these heavy burdens on his person and exercised like crazy. Tears almost streaming down his face when they were taking off the weights for the last time. As soon as they came off they told him to run, one last time. So he did, and before he knew it had circled the track several times with amazing speed then collapsed from exhaustion. (Custom: Here's Tray Racer! He's here with your lunch~ learned and trained to D-Rank)
Several minutes later, Zel awoke. Feeling much better, and somehow even motivated, he stood up and charged a hefty sum of chakra into his wooden dummy. He then took out two average-sized sticks from his holsters on his sides and pushed them against the sticks strapped on the back of his waist combining them. Then he pulled them out and combined them once more, the result was a six foot long bo which he would use for training.
Zel assumed first the 'proper' stance for staff fighting. Front foot slightly forward and his staff held firmly in such a way that the front edge is even with his or her shoulders and the back is at roughly waist height. Simple enough. Next he'd have the dummy strike at him. Something Zel would respond to by positioning his staff horizontally or vertically depending on whatever was needed. Still very much within the basics. Moving on to offense now, Zel assumed proper form then hit his training dummy with the sides of his staff. Practicing striking all parts and heights with his many simple blows. Maybe it was just him, but he felt it wasn't really a move at full power yet. (3/3 Stage 1 Kaze no Zougenotou)
Following that, he practiced matching forward movement with his strikes. It was practically identical to Shunkan's version except the smallest bit stronger. He did this many times in quick succession along with his strikes. His attacks were different than what he previously showed. The first new move was him was drawing in his rear hand as he brought his back foot forward. From that point he'd smack his dummy right on the head then quickly resumed fighting stance. The second attack was a powerful jab utilizing the end of his stick. Focusing all the force he could muster on such a small area such as the flat end of his staff pushed the dummy back slightly. It was satisfying to see, but Zel knew it was still lacking. Perhaps by widening his stance by separating the distance between his feet would help? He tried to jab at his dummy once again with a quick forward step to augment it's power. He quickly realized as he saw his dummy being knock-backed even further that his added power hampered his foot speed. (4/4 Stage 2)
Even with it's light weight, swinging around this weapon was so foreign to Zel. He looked at it for a moment, thinling of ways to 'break in' to his new weapon. Brilliance struck as he thought of rapidly swung the staff overhead and in front of him. "Maybe now I can..." Zel assumed a firm stance, and jabbed straight once again, matching his foots forward step with it. But instead of using the flat end he focused his power to an even smaller area, the very edge. The blow was fast, and strong enough to knock the dummy into one of his fellow training shinobi. "Uh-oh it's him...time to run!" Zel thought as he put his feet shoulder width apart with his hands almost level. It was a stance that came out of nowhere, but it sure helped him flee. After escaping for an hour or so Zel's pursuer gave up the chase so Zel resumd training. This time he'd try to 'spice up' the forward step. He'd pivot on the forward foot as he did so, making for a quick versatile movement. Next he'd let the dummy of his strike him. He responded with a more effective sweeping block. It flung the dummy's striking limb away with considerable force, to a human it would sure have left some big bruises. Following that he'd assume fighting stance then put his hold of the staff further along the back. After which he ducked then started swinging the staff in a circle around him. Though it didn't initially hit the dummy it was okay, Zel then brought his swing down in an attempt to strike the dummy's knee. He flowed chakra into his weapon as he had done so, leaving an almost leg-breaking blow against it. Finally he'd practice quickly sending chakra through his staff. It helped further 'break in' the weapon. He did this until he was capable of sending chakra to anywhere along it' length as fast as possible, even right before it hits. (7/7 Stage 3)
It always amazed his teachers, and himself how proficient a weapon master he was. He was just starting this intense staff style yet he was already at such a skillful level. The fact that it had been a long time since he had first picked up a weapon said a lot too about his potential. Which he squandered by doing menial task and neglecting any training for the past ten years. But that was before, Zel found something to spark his interest once more (even if it was silly). He would become like the badass monk in the movie advertisement or he would become lazy again trying! Zel focused on this idea as he performed each and every technique he had learned thus far. His entire arsenal unloaded as fast as he could, jabs and swings mixed wit al the different footworks and stances. He stopped once they felt smooth flowing to perform. Next was to add even more to the spin step. There was so much potential in this style, Zel could see that. Techniques built on one another for amazing effect or could standd alone as incredible in it's own way. Simple movements made simple attacks deadly. Plus the workout it was giving hs arms was just insane! Zel performed the spin step, it was different this time, it had longer range and even kicked up the dust around him. Surely this was a sign Zel was getting better with the style. Following the new spin step was more defensive maneuvers. This style offered defense that doubled as offense, it was such a useful combat tool. Well, to Zel at least. Despite being a complete lazy a** he preferred some balance when it came to combat. Which is why the next move where-in the user spins the staff rapidly all around his or her body, easily deflecting weapons and knocking back any aggressors in range several feet was perfect for him. It was simple enough to perform too. Next Zel tried more fancy footwork. This time it was an offensive move all on it's own. Zel angled the back end of the staff toward the ground and then started spinning in a manner similar to the spin step. As he did the lowered end of the staff would sweep his dummy's off his footing. He then followed it up by swinging the raised portion at the dummy's head. Being off balance was the key to the second strike here, Zel could see that. The dummy was too busy trying to recover balance to properly guard against the smack to the head. It was a brilliant strategic move, Zel thought. Then he looked at his staff. "Unbreakable? Really now?" Zel trusted the quality of Suna weaponry, but the world was a big place. There were bound to be hundreds capable of doing the impossible. These thoughts lead him to further appreciate the next technique, Strength of Ivory. It strengthened his staff to a point where most blades would fail miserably when clashed against it. Extremely useful and quite easily achieved, all Zel had to do was send it a fairly good amount of chakra. From this point the staff would glow faintly with his chakra's ever changing color. It would also become four times as durable and hard! Considering his weapon was already pretty tough on it's own, he knew he had no need to worry anymore about his staff breaking. "Finally!" Zel said. He at the last move he could take learning before things were getting too tiring. It was a brilliant offensive move. Also it was the last attack of this style he'd learn for a while. All he had to do was focus his chakra into the either end of his stick then releasing it in powerful burst just as his strike would connect. Simple in both theory and practice. Zel performed it easily enough, but on the ground near his dummy rather than on the dummy itself. Zel knew such a move was powerful enough to destroy his dummy, and sure enough the moment his chakra burst through his jab he and his dummy was sent flying backwards outside the large plume of sand the jutsu kicked up. As soon as he recovered he turned off his dummy and used it as a headrest again. Zel needed to rest. (12/12 Stage 4)
As soon as Zel woke up, he'd resolved to continue training. He started up his training dummy Mokujin and disassembled his staff and sheathed two pieces in one, quick movement. He then took a fighting stance for a particular twin sticks style, Tanisoko. First of all, he had Mokujin punch and kick at him several times. Zel would block each blow with whatever stick was closer than strike with the free hand. Simple and useful, powerful too. But when Mokujin hit hard enough one stick wasn't enough. For those strikes, Zel raised both sticks in a cross block move. Purely defensive, but was very effective at it's job. (3/3 Stage 1 Tanisoko)
Zel had Mokujin keep striking him. But instead of blocking Zel swung at the incoming limbs, flinging them away. It was way easier on his body avoiding them then meting them head on. Time for offense now. In a manner similar to the previous style, with similar power too, Zel would strike the sides Moku's upper and lower body. The blows were strong enough too upset his footing somewhat. "Perfect! Now eat this!" Zel broke out of stance and took a quick forward step. As he did, he swung upward, aiming for Moku's 'jaw'. The forward movement augmented the blow's power, it sent Moku knocked back a bit. (3/3 Stage 2)
Feeling out of practice, Zel though to try some drills on further utilizing the style. He performed a series of attacks that used both sticks at the same time. After a while he felt his movements grow more fluid and even faster. Next, he gave Moku his other two sticks then let him try attacking again. Zel would match it with his own two weapons, blocking two separate blows. Then he'd push the sticks away, closing distance at the same time. He then backed out then charged back in. As he did so he raised his arms in preparation. When he was close enough he brought them down on Moku's forehead in a cross strike. Though it seemed to knock Moku down and out, he quickly got back up and tried swinging for the right of Zel's waist. Zel reacted quickly, reinforcing his right stick with chakra then blocking Moku's attack. Thanks to chakra-reinforcement the attack stopped dead in it's tracks. Zel followed up with a fast strike to Moku's right hand, breaking it's grip on the stick. Next after letting Moku recover, Zel let Moku try hitting him again. Zel moved accordingly, he used his right stick to direct the attack downwards as he spun his body from facing left to right. As he did so Zel attacked with his left hand to Moku's parried arm. (5/5 Stage 3)
After a short break Zel was ready to go at it again. But before trying new flashy moves Zel would try to get a better feel for the weapon. He'd practice all he had learned so far, but add use of quick footwork as he did so. Zel felt the movements had come naturally to him. He practiced it as he traded blows with his dummy. Though at first slow he was able to get the hang of fast proper footing to evade Moku's attacks. He was able to move in and out of Moku's blows at one point. He stopped once he felt comfortable enough. He then would try an actual advanced technique. What he had to do was simple, a fast forward step. Honestly he's done this so many times for three styles already it was incredibly easy to do again. This version had it's own twist though, in exchange for great speeds with one step he'd end up losing some of his balance. But thanks to his solid footing training from another style it didn't bother him at all. He repeated it over and over till he considered it perfect. Then on to the next technique he went. It was more offensive maneuvers. "Perfect" Zel thought. It added more to his versatile arsenal of techniques. The move was simple but situational. He had to sweep out the opponent from the back of his legs, then thrust his free hand to the opponents jaw. The strength incorporated into the move was sure to send any foe tumbling, but to get in such a position was difficult. Nonetheless Zel could do it easily when facing a foe like Mokujin. Moving on to the next tech Zel found his body failing him yet again. He could probably do two or three more moves before needing rest. "Tch, what a bother, this body." Zel sighed, there was no choice but to keep training due to the fact that even though his body telling him to stop his will kept egging him on. So he did, he resumed fighting stance and started sparring with Moku. As soon as Zel found himself an opening he rushed forward and started his attack. First a quick upward swing with his right hand, which hit and shoved away Moku's blocking arm cleanly. Next he struck wit another upward swing using his left, which would hit Moku's jaw with impressive force. The reason being that as Zel started the technique he pumped his muscles up with a hefty some of chakra. After that Zel sat down ad took a break. He looked at his training dummy, the slightest bit amazed. How Mokujin could withstand the constant barrage of bone-breaking attacks. Zel took it easy too so maybe that helped, but still his hardiness was something to be desired even if Moku was just a wooden toy. It got Zel thinking, then he looked at his sticks. He had a great idea. He focused chakra into his sticks as he did when it was a staff earlier, reinforcing them with energy. Then he focused all the chakra that didn't fit his sticks small frame into his muscles. The rush of power made him feel like he could break steel! But it was short-lived for he fainted of exhaustion soon after. (13/13 Stage 4)
Waking up fully rested Zel would resume training with no delay. Yet, he did actually pause for a brief moment. What else was there to learn from staffs or twin sticks that his body could do? Nothing. So he quickly put away his twin sticks and readied his katar. He also took some wooden training swords from the dojo armory, he would need them if he was going to train for his sword style, Shunkan no Hagane. The technique was simple, drawing a sword, attacking then sheathing it. A simple action repeated as fast and furiously as possible with several blades. Zel did so easily enough. Next was a technique called Illusory Stab. Where-in one thrusts at a foe then pulls the blade back after connecting, then let's loose another fast, powerful stab. The second blow required intense speeds from it's user, so that most weaker than him wouldn't see it coming till it actually hit. A feat simple enough for one who was almost specifically trained for speed during his youth. Zel did the technique on the dummy flawlessly. Then he'd move on. The next technique was less of a technique and more of sensory training. One would practice his focus, to let even the slightest sounds give away the location of everything around him. A twig snapping, the slight whoosh of an incoming kunai, everything. Zel closed his eyes, he had Mokujin sneak around him and prepare an attack. Moku would have been good at it, if he weren't a wooden man. Even from far away Zel could already tell the attack was coming, but he couldn't see how it was moving. "A weakness in the 'technique'...doesn't matter!" Zel thought as he ended the sensory training and moved on to the next jutsu. An incredibly power, incredibly useful one, it was. It let Zel slice the wind with such finesse that the air cut would even follow along his swords path. The result was an invisible blade of air following his every attack. Zel knew he'd have some real good uses for this one day. He performed it with ease thanks to his newly gained arm strength and fast speeds aiding him. He did so till he felt it mastered than moved on. Following the previous move was an improvement of an old move, Calligraphy. It was essentially the same but incorporated much more speed and power. So much so that the cuts could reach even the bone and did so at a speed that eclipsed it's old version. To learn it Zel performed Calligraphy on his wooden dummy as many times as possible. He was relentless as he carved various kanji on the wooden dummy's torso. After several minutes he would stop and prepare for the next move. It was also another 'upgraded' version, of the technique he learned right before the previous. This time he could 'cut' the air with such power that he could launch several more with each strike. It goes without saying that Zel was happy at how powerful a move it was. He was more happy though at the ease he performed it. In just the first few swings he already got the hang of the technique, and was punishing Moku with several invisible blades. He held back significantly though, he didn't want to break him and waste his hard earned money. Next was more techniques that were offensive, but strategic and not just plain force. One of which was a stronger version of Shunkan's earlier disarming skill. All the old movements were there, but this higher ranked version incorporated much more powerful strength. Enough that when his blade would meet his training dummy's it broke from the opposing force. Zel then got another training sword for Moku and did the technique again. This time yielded results no different, from that point on Zel considered himself to have mastered the move and went on to the next one. If the previous one was disarming, then this technique was deflecting. It left little to the imagination, it was just putting more strength and skill into an old technique. Zel did it easily as Moku brought an overhead chop down on him. He simply position his blade by Moku's right arm, then pushed upward. It changed the course of Moku's attack far out of Zel's way. After repeating it one more time Zel went on finally, to the last technique he'd learn for a while. It was a sort of core move to the style, Zel guessed. It was called Advance of Steel after all, meaning it was named after the style. "It's worth it's name at least." All Zel had to do was a powerful forward movement, and any offensive or defensive technique augmented by it was almost doubled in power. Zel got into a stance, then did Illusory Stab as he applied the movement to both blows. The result was Zel being stuck to the dojo wall for an hour as his blades dug into it as he and Moku tried to pull him free. (18/18 Stage 4)
Waking up from another great nap, Zel went on. He'd put his blades away back into his bracers. He was going to practice taijutsu now.
He'd start with basics again, of course. If one thought Zel hasn't practiced Bukijutsu in forever and was incredibly rusty with it, Taijutsu was just another level of untrained all together. But of course, basics were basics and took just a little more effort to learn, something like a diagonal palm strike was rather childish for him. That was about it, that was the only thing he'd be able to near instantly get the hang of again. The next move, a simple volley of fast fists aimed at no particular part of the enemy, was already a bother for him. As base at it was it proved to pose a challenge, albeit very small, to Zel. The next technique was just as bad. It was a simple parry into a fast punch, or an attempt to trip the enemy. Though Zel performed it alright, he was really not used to just using his body anymore. After that, he had to take a crouched position to perform the next stance. Alright, it was simple enough, next he had to leap and strike with a precise uppercut to Moku's jaw. Simple, clean, easy...maybe training taijutsu wasn't so bad after all? Finally at the last technique of the stage, Zel assumed a low, powerful stance as he did earlier. This time though with arms tucked to the side in fists because of the lack of weaponry. Then in a fast burst of speed he started to thrust his left hand's two fingers like a knife to Mokujin's stomach, which he evaded, luckily enough for Zel's empty wallet. Zel would then assume the stance again, but instead of closed fists he would have open palms this time. Then with another burst of speed Zel would lean inward towards Moku and do a palm strike to Moku's torso with both hands. The technique didn't do much in the way of damage, but it was excellent at pushing targets quite a ways away. And that was it, really after that technique things became much more complicated for Zel. He found he had to repeat moves more often to master them. Such moves, like a quick rotational side step into a very sneaky, whip-like kick to Moku's sides were the worst. Zel found himself tripping often or not using his strength at full power. But no matter, he had a proficiency for taijutsu too since birth, although not as great. These complications only existed for Zel didn't want to be bothered to put more effort into learning these techniques. In truth Zel was actually quite quick at picking up taijutsu. And it showed after all, especially now since he was already about to pass into the third stage of the taijutsu style. He only need pick up one more technique, Roaring Iron Finger. It was more of an add-on technique really, but it was sure worth learning nonetheless. All Zel had to do was focus chakra through his fingers that pierced his foe into a powerful burst, and ta-da, his enemies would likely suffer a heavy case of internal bleeding. (Xinyi Liuhe Quan Stage 1&2 10/10)
After that...well Zel had nothing left to do. His teachers forbade him to learn any further than that till he had beat someone using only taijutsu. A feat he wouldn't ever be able to accomplish in his younger years, having been so clingy towards using his weapons. Well, with a lack of training to do maybe just taking it slow and just feeling the world would be nice. Zel was into Zen-like stuff, weird as it may seem.
So Zel would lie down, arms out, eyes closed. He'd then try to escape into his inner thoughts, a world of silence and peace. A world where only he could exist and where he was free to do what he pleased. Here was no different, except it wasn't burning hot or increasingly noisy. It was the perfect lazy day for a lazy man like him.
Here he was doing no different. He was laid out on the ground, trying to feel everything around him without actually doing it. Ironically enough he wasn't feeling the outer world, but the flow of chakra inside him. This 'inner world' of his was just a representation of the calm flow of energy pulsing through his body. Eventually Zel came to this realization, and the perfect quiet, sunny day on a grassy hill turned into him on a raft on the deep, vast ocean with a grand view of a starry sky along with a lively moon being the only lights to turn too.
Then Zel stood up on the raft, and reached one hand out to the sky. The view was so enchanting, so breathtaking, he had to see it up close, even if it meant trying to drag the lights down to him, they were of such beauty that it would be to go against his entire being to not try and reach for them. Back in the real world, his chakra felt but heavier, crushing even. The force continued to grow this way as if his entire being was forcing itself to fit more energy into itself, more so than it could normally handle.
It continued on this way till at one point, for just one small moment, his chakra settled. The entire vast sea of the soul lay still, as the young man reaching for the lights had somehow started dragging them down to his world. In that instant the whole scenery changed. What was once a great calm turned into a raging storm. What were once lights that fueled his existence were meteors about to end it.
Zel's chakra flow began to reflect this change too. It moved radically throughout his body, never in the straight flow that it was supposed to be. It went about in a zig-zag, in loops, in various patterns too numerous to count. Then it settled on spiraling, from the stomach to his limbs and back. His chakra flow was one big spiral made up of many smaller ones moving through him, breathing life into him even.
Then in the inner world, Zel would begin to feel this raging flow too. It tore at him inside, such focused energy with no exit point, continuously building up in force. If the lights did not end him, the power he felt inside was definitely going to. It brought him to his knees, and continued charging and charging, till Zel couldn't take the pain anymore, he screamed as if trying to rip his soul from his body. Then in an instant, a blinding flash of light, the world reverted to him staring at the dojo's ceiling while resting on Moku's torso.
He was in the real world now, and his chakra flow had settled. It was not what it was before though, it had grown. "What a dream...I should stop playing so much video games." (Basic Training: Meditate X2)
After all that mess, Zel lied down on the ground and made use of Mokujin as a headrest.

"Congratulations Aika, you are alive. Most people don't have the will to do what is necessary to stay alive. But not you, not anymore. Go to the hospital and get yourself cleaned up. My report will be finished by time you are done."
San looked at theodin and his training, noting an interesting concoction in his own mind.
"Theodin, ask me for assistance if you want. I want you with aika in field asap."

Theodin Poe
There is Fenris grim His jaws are open wide The serpent rises from the waves Jormungandr twists and turns, mighty in his wrath The eyes are full of primal hate
Theodin was resting by what was left of his training dummy and looked up at Sanshi, "Sure thing, Professor. I think I'm alright on Raiton jutsu, I just want to work on some Suiton and Fuuton techniques before I start in the field, so I can cover some weak points." With that, the young genin went back to his training. First, Theodin focused a bit of water chakra into his gut and flooded a seven foot square of the room with water about eight feet deep, standing on the surface it it rose.
Standing on the water, Theodin remembered a jutsu he'd seen in the Suiton scroll earlier. Theodin focused his chakra and formed a quick series of hand seals. He then saw a whirlpool form in the water in front of him, which looked like it could easily pulls someone down to the bottom.
Daibakuryuu no Jutsu [ Great Exploding Current ] Learned!
Theodin then released the vortex jutsu and focused more of his chakra. Making another quick series of hand seals, he saw a rig of water start to rise up a few feet in front of him, encircling one point. Then the ring of water crashed inward and continued to cycle around, pummeling that point until the genin released the jutsu.
Theodin then formed another hand seal and spread his chakra through the water, lifting drops of it into the air. As he focused, the drops quickly formed into five hundred long senbon. With a wave of his hand, he released the jutsu and all the senbon converged onto a single point of the water, about three feet in front of him.
Sensatsu Suishou [ Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death ] Learned!
The young genin rested a minute, then focused more water chakra into his hand. He formed another series of hand seals, then reached down and placed his right hand flat on the water. Water shot from the end of each finger, each stream concentrating into a shark.
Goshokuzame [ Five Sharks Eating ] Learned!
Theodin then formed another string of hand seals. Releasing his chakra, he watched a serpent made of water rise from his pool and start coiling around. He then formed the hand seals again and formed another serpent, making them coil together.
Ja no Kuchi [ Serpent Mouth ] Learned!
Theodin rested for a few minutes. Then stood back up and focused his chakra again. He formed another series of hand seals and watched as about six words formed under the water's surface, all in a circle. He then released the jutsu and the swords converged onto a single point.
Mizu no Yaiba Rendan [ Water Blade Barrage ] Learned!
The young genin then focused more of his chakra into his stomach and back of his throat. Making some quick hand seals, he felt the water heat up as he spit it towards the wall. He watched as a boiling jet of water shotfrom his mouth and hit the wall, denting it slightly.
Suihou no Jutsu [ Water Cannon Technique ] Learned!
Tired, Theodin turned toward where Sanshi was standing and asked "Excuse me, Professor, what fuuton jutsu do you think would be the most useful so that I can get into the field asap?"

Waking up from a wonderful nap, Zel slowly got up and searched his surroundings. He knew he was at the dojo/academy but while his sleepy body was just 'waking up' and unfit for training people watching was the best thing to do. Slightly far away he saw a young man practicing Suiton. "Probably a fresh graduate from the looks of it" Zel thought. After a while the young man approached two others.
A woman, probably another newbie and next to him....
"s**t it's him!" Zel's eyes widened, there was no mistaking the figure next to the two newbies. It was a very old teacher of the twenty year old genin, one who was sure to make him train endlessly, maybe even make him do actual ninja work if he saw Zel's lazy a**. "No wonder Kazekage-sama was so eager to get me to train today...Dammit! Gotta get out of here."
Zel tried to sneak slowly past the academy gate, making as little noise as possible. (Lol well since you're done with that spar, I need some help because there is just WAY TOO FREAKING MUCH to type D;.)
