Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yoruichi entered the library/dojo/academy, towing along Yachioshi and Raja. She was ready to take up her Haraise training once more. She reached into her pack, and removed the scroll for her style. Yoruichi laid it out, and began to study up. The next technique she was to learn was the next Devil Stance, which would make her even faster and agile. This would be a since for her. Yoruichi assumed the regular Devil Stance, hands and feet planted firmly on the ground, body spread, and each node, the elbows and knees, locked. From there she would stretch in a slightly cat like manner. {1/9}

She would look very feline in fact, putting both limbs together and then stretching out her back so that her body would look like a U. She would then roll her neck a little bit and get low to the ground again. From the ground, she would dig her nails into the ground and push off, warming up by sprinting a few meters on all fours and then rolling to a graceful stop. She would repeat this and return to where she was originally, stretching out each limb fully. The dogs would watch her, sitting on their bellies lazily. {2/9}

From there, Yoruichi began to allow her chakra to flow throughout her arms and legs in waves, not visible or enough for the technique, but good as a warm up. She had to get used to having her chakra flowing into her arms and legs to increase her usefulness in combat. The second stance demanded it. She would move around nimbly with the addition of her chakra which made her noticeably faster and more nimble. She leaped to a tree branch and then seemingly bounced up into the air from it, sliding to a stop back on the ground a few meters away from where she had stood before. {3/9}

Now that she had the general use for the technique down, she was ready to test herself. "Raja!" she called to her companion. He nodded and made his way over to the ground across from her. "Man Beast Clone! the dog called as in a poof of smoke she became a perfect clone of Yoruichi. With that complete they both entered the Stance, Raja in stance one, Yoruichi in stance two, or what of it she could handle. Before going into battle she popped all of her limbs, limbering up, and the like. Raja moved first, her all fours movement perfect for the first stance. Yoru side stepped quickly to her left, and sent her foot in an arc. The Kick was narrowly avoided, the speed noticeably higher than usual. Yoru spun back into the stance and rushed her prey. Raja ran in, slashing out. With a moment to React, yoruichi ducked under the blow and countered with an upward claw slash that brought the clone into the air. {4/9}

Breathing evenly, Yoruichi ran in a zigzag on all fours, her chakra channeling a little heavier. Raja leaped over her and spun, turning as soo as she landed and then lounging at her master. Yoruichi however was a bit more lithe than before, and as such jumped and spun out of the way in a very flexible motion. Raja was getting annoyed at the reality that Yoruichi might be a bit too fast for her. {5/9}

Yoruichi again popped all of her limbs and her back quickly, retaking the stance. Raja sped towards him, and surprised that she didn't move, clawed out. Yoruichi dodged low to the ground and swung her own arm in a short arc that would take out her partner's leg. He leaped over the attack, and came down with his claws aimed for her head. Her speed increasing steadily with her chakra, Yoruichi slid backwards out of the way, and then pushed off of the ground. She aimed to tackle her with her increased speed. {6/9}

Raja was barely able to avoid the tackle, and tried to sweep her legs from under her. Yoru stumbled over Raja's leg, but caught herself without falling. She shook out her hair and growled a little. Raja accepted the challenge and growled as well. They sped towards each other, Yoru slamming her off of her legs with her pure speed, and then allowed Raja, her pride wounded, to rise. She hadn't noticed, but her chakra level had increased to OVER NINE THOUSAND while fighting Raja while increasing her chakra subconsciously. {7/9}

Raja submitted, her master's speed more than she could handle at that point. Now she allowed her chakra to flow heavily into her arms and legs, feeling it as her speed and agility increased. With this new found speed and agility, Yoru ran the same paths as before, noticing how much faster and more nimbly she did it. As she stopped, her chakra leaked, sor of like the four legged technique. {8/9}

To wrap it up, she stood up straight, and then stretched. She flipped backwards, her body rolling twice before she landed on her hands and her body limply feel to the ground. Her elbows and knees popped as as she allowed chakra to flow freely into her arms and legs. This made her look menacing and showed how fast she could enter the stance on a moments notice. Now that she had this down packed, she sat down to take a breather, well deserved she might add.




○ Akuma Sutansu Ni - Devil Stance Two
Complex :: Rank B
The user will begin to pop their limbs, making them more flexible, and even more deadly, they will force chakra onto four nodes, making movement more nimble, and more rapid.

Kenshi wasn't moved an inch by the wolves bared teeth, nor was he surprised she avoided his attack. Climbing out of his crater in the ground, he stared at her angrily. His wolves, walking to his side had separate reactions. Akatsuchi bowed her head to Raja, showing she wasn't hostile. Shaman however looked down at the ground, afraid of what his Master was thinking. What he was going to say. Kenshi paid no mind to any of the others. He just stared coldly at his sister. "Yes, I am alive, no thanks to you," he growled out lowly. "Everyone else... they're all dead!" A moment of intense anger and rage began to flow from his mouth as he pointed at her. "If you were there, maybe things would be different. They could have gotten away with me. They would still be here! Where were you Yoru!" Tears began to roll down his face as he turned away from her to hide the emotions rolling down and dripping from his chin. "Everyone always loved and cherished you the most and you weren't there when we needed you. I fought with all my heart, I took down my fair share," he stated lowly. He turned his head in a fever pitch and almost cried when he said the next words. With you there... we could have saved everyone together..." he trailed off. "That's enough! Shaman called looking up and staring at His master. His words were ignored.

The pain and anger radiating off of the two would come to Shaman and Akatsuchi in waves. Akatsuchi allowed the notion from Yachioshi and also rubbed her head against his neck. But the weight of the situation caused her to lay down on her belly and close her eyes. Shaman however got serious when Raja growled and gave a low growl in response. "Let them be, he requested regaining his composure and walking close without fear of a reaction from Raja. He wasn't stupid but he feared nothing, including saber toothed Tigers. "You know not the feelings going through his mind." Kenshi, unaware of anything else listened to her words carefully. That demon. It had caused him so much anger before. Finding out that it was why Yoru couldn't save his family almost made him hate the demon even more. But her last sentences hit home. In 17 years he had been so angry at the demon, at her for harboring it. So much attention all for her, leaving him with table scraps. It had taken him 17 years to figure out that she had inadvertently protected him from something he didn't want. He was silent and unmoving for what seemed like ages He hugged her, tears rolling down his face. "I'm sorry. My words were, harsh, ignorant. I am sorry," he said releasing her and looking down. "I don't blame you, I just... needed a way to vent... his words weakly flowed out. He stared across the training grounds and before he knew it all of his anger flowed out, now with proper direction. "But those Konoha shinobi won't know what hit them. Yoruichi... I'm going there. I want blood. Revenge. An outlet for all this anger. Can you forgive what I said, and fight back with me?" he asked her. Akatsuchi got up then and howled as if to second his request. Shaman sighed and nodded, looking up at the sister of his Master.

When forgiveness was granted he smiled briefly and then caressed Shaman. He backed off and then when Yoru spoke on the pecking order the younger Inuzuka bowed in slight, resentful submission. With not another word, he agreed with the time restraining and moved off to practice on his own.

To begin, he needed to learn the water cannon technique. He would need to allow his chakra to swell up inside of him, swirling and mixing with his suiton nature. Once it filled him and he was about to burst, he would let his it exit from his mouth in the form of the water jet. It sounded easy enough and once he was done studying it from his water scroll, he would start it up. {1/4}

He along with his dog partners would inhale and begin to save chakra in their bellies as it flowed through them. The flow of his chakra would be directed inward as he did the handseals, all forming into bubbles of energy inside of the three of them. He would allow himself to be completely filled to the brim with chakra and then exhale, letting it all free. {2/4}

This time as he filled his stomach with chakra, adn the dogs did as well, he would allow his suiton to mix inside of him. It would create a lot of water inside of them, enough to make them ready to burst open. He would hold it in as long as he can, and then let the technique dissipate. {3/4}

Performing the seals, he and his dogs would all expel a powerful jet of water at a wall. Within a few seconds there would be a clean hole in it and the three would stop the attack.
