Nova walked slowly back towards Sumaru. His steps creased into the ground as weight was pressed into them. His eyes were fixed upon Sumaru's untrusting face. He was still bound inside the confines of ghostly strings. Their long wirey length extended from his palm, and were as round as licorice. From behind him, Nova opened a small holster pouch. It contained a vial of poison remediant. He held it happily in his hand while he brought it Sumaru's face. He let the residue sliver down the young star villager's throat. With that he left down back towards the village silently, releasing his bound upon Sumaru.

Nova had grown tired of the accompanyment of enemies. His trust of people had been shot, and fatally wounded. The scars of memories came back in shreds to him. Trickling like blood, and gathering in clots. The past was written in stone, the present was written in ink, but the future was in pencil. Anyone could change their course of life this way. Nova then shook his head, wondering why he was thinking of this. As he bounded across a dirt road, his glasses constantly tipped off his nose. He fixed them immediately as he trekked his way to the village.

Soon he arrived near one of the opening building to the village. He stopped at a small, quaint resturaunt nearby for some beverages. His sipped it happily on a wooden stool, perched freely. The wind swayed his locks as he looked around the area. He saw many villagers doing the same and young lady sat next to him. She was also on a wooden stool and seemed to be reading something rather then partaking in consumption. She had black wavy hair and a beautiful face. Her presence was quite astounding.

Nova worked his vision up towards her forehead. He noticed the hidden star village headband placed upon it, displaying her true colors. Then he noticed that he was staring and refrained from drawing any further attention. She looked back at him from the corner of her eye. A gentle look, in fact; an inviting one. He stayed clear of her as he contnued to sip from his cup. The heat rose to his glasses, condensating the lenses. He could see through them, though no one could see his eyes back. His hand reached up and lowered his filter veil, and placed his glasses tipped up on his head. He planned to approach her now, in thoughts of training disguised.

Leaning upwards, he gestured his stool once in her direction before dragging it forward. She peered over towards him and rested her face against her hand of the arm of which was propped up upon the table.
"How may I help you stranger." She smiled and closed her eyes giving off a friendly aura. Nova immitated her body language. Her eyes narrowed a bit as she laughed at his mockery. Nova stared at her directly into her face and smiled as well.
"I'm Nova Yakushi. Yourself?"
"Hokuto, of the star village."
"Well, its good to meet one of the native ninja here."

"Likewise. So what brings a ninja such as yourself to our parts. Seeking training?" Hokuto seemed to know more than she was saying.
"Of course. I'm guessing you get those propostion a lot. It must grow tiresome." Nova seemed to be psychologically trying to get on her good side.
"Not at all, I'll be happy to train you. Just follow under my direction carefully." She said.
"Alright. Doesn't sound too hard." Nova had gotten what he came for. "I've already learned the Kujaku Myohou. So no need for anymore star training."

Hokuto got up from the leather patched stool and turned the corner. Then peered back around and gestured Nova to follow with a wink. He turned the corner as well and worked his was after her. She started to leap from tree to tree at a rapid rate. Nova activated his Kujaku Myohou, and then engaged it into Flight. The ghostly dragon wings, and Angelic wings sprouted from his back and began to flap. An uplift draft of air jousted him upwards. His silver aura kissed the soft blue sky. They landed near the spot at which him and Sumaru had their bout.
"This technique will be useful to you. Especially in gaining chakra."

"First you must bring your chakra into a close distance of your enemy. On second thought, let me just demonstrate it on you." She said.
Hokuto released her Kujaku Myohou and shot out a single shard of chakra. When the chakra came in contact with Nova's body, it drained some of his chakra. He could feel it sap out of him. He shook off the shard quickly, to avoid further stealing.
"Now it's my turn to do the same."
Nova gathered his chakra and activated his Chakra Scalpels. Then he approched Hokuto with the Body Flicker and tapped her arm. This returned the chakra she had stolen. Nova avoided damaging her internal organs by will. After all, she had proved to be a friend, rather than foe.
7/7 Absorbtion.

Nova repealed his external chakra back inside his body to rejuvenate his already suppled amount. Hokuto seemed to have expected as much from the sound ninja. His Yakushi mind always helped learn things quicker, and usually with one mere attempt. Hokuto reset her position at the middle of the field, and Nova returned at a 3:00 direction from her; back to his.
"Very well done Nova. Your an astounding ninja. Its almost as if your a native to the star village the way your learning these techniques so quickly."
"Well, thanks for the compliment. But I'd like to learn more before I leave here. So, if what you say is true; it should go by rather quickly. Teach away."

"Alright then. Keep your ears sharp, I'll only say this once." She said briskly.
Nova nodded in approvement and swifted his attention soley on her without having a rude gaze.
"First you'll have to gather your chakra into an attack. Any attack that'll make an external version of the chakra. Such as those chakra scalpels you were using earlier. Anything that lets it leak out ahead of you. I myself prefer to use the "Bind" Skill. Which I'd like to teac-." She was cut off by Nova's interruption.
"I already know Bind." He said boldly.
"Alright, then moving along...."

"I'll stand in the open plain over there. Then you'll activate the bind technique to wrap around me. These strings will halt my progression. Afterwards, you will use this restraint to absorb chakra form the enemy. Using Absorbtion of course. I, myself like to use this double combination along with the technique I'm about to teach you. It's called control. Obviously, it controls the target in whatever way you want. After you have these three all in order, it's almost impossible to lose. You'll cause damage to the outside while their body is helplessly captive from the techniques. The technique's effect's will continue because the contantly drained chakra from the opponent, will be used against them..."
Nova nearly dozed off as she continued her long explanation...

"Eventually, the enemies chakra will be depleted completely. The outer damage the occurs to them, done upon themselves from control will overwhelm them. Therefore, before you, you'll have an opponent destroyed. From the inside, as well as the outside. You'll have all the chakra you had before using the combination, along with a bind still placed upon the opponent. Become flexible with this; and no one can come in your path."
Nova was now asleep on the outside, but he was only fooling Hokuto.

"You better wake up!!" Her anger was obvious. Especially with a fist coming point blank. Nova's Gravity Helix automatically intercepted it. Thus, protecting him from any damage.
"Chill out!! I'm not really asleep. I heard every word. Now try and avoid the combo when its used against you."
"Alright."
Nova's chakra gathered, and he activated the Kujaku Myohou for added power to the star attacks. The barrage would surmount the establishment of the opponent's feet, and render them helpless. Just as Hokuto had explained in her... 'Moment'.

Kujaku Myohou: 2000 Points
Sato Junoichi stood before Akahoshi for his first session in training. The day he had been waiting for for quite some time. When he would be able to receive the blessing of the stars and obtain abilities only bestowed to Hoshigakure Shinobi. Cobalt locks fell lazily around his weathered visage, covering part of his steel-plated headband bearing the mark of the skilled Star Village shinobi. The headband was tilted over his left eye, something he had grown used to thanks to his lifelong companion, Kuroineko, an obsidian furred cat that never left his back, shoulders, or head. Junoichi was fortunate, for he was blessed with the studious ability to control his chakra at an amazingly exceptional level for his age. His eyes, or eye since only one was ever visible, characteristically began to glow at the ring around his iris whenever displaying this gift.
The slender, yet undeniably chiseled young man stood before his elder and presented him with a respectful half-bow, acknowledging his superiority and wisdom as kage of their prestigious village. No matter how gifted the focused young Sato Junoichi was, it would take a great deal of effort to be able to master the ability he was here to conjure today: Kujaku Myohou no Jutsu. It is the base level jutsu that is required to be able to perform all of the other Hoshigakure specific jutsu. It requires massively skilled control over ones chakra, and the ability to tap into the deepest well of power one can reach in order to utilize the chakra itself for attacks.
Most clans and villages have something similar to these techniques that they use, only they are done on a much, much smaller scale of power. The threads of chakra used by many shinobi employ a similar method of chakra useage-- however these are tiny microfilials of chakra used on the smallest scale imaginable. The Kujaku Myoshou no Jutsu will conjure gigantic plooms of chakra in the form of feathers that can strike out at an opponent, harden and defend against or deflect attacks, or even utilize ones chakra for a unique way to heal ones wounds. These techniques are exclusive to the Hidden Star Village. It maybe that the shinobi of the Bear Country's star village has the poisonous border of Hell's Ravine to thank for this. Because of the geographic obstacle around the country, regular communication with other villages is rarely possible anyway-- this prohibits much spread of hidden jutsus to other clans.
Akahoshi explained momentarily objective of their training. Junoichi would have to draw upon the power of the stars to magnify his power, and project that massive multiplication forth as an outward manifestation of his power. A power that would take form, when completed properly, in the form of a fan of feathers looming overhead from behind the shinobi utilizing the technique. Junoichi nodded eagerly, and focused his chakra. This means of focus would have to be much different from the way he usually brought out his power. This time, he would have to try not to pull forth his power to any one point, or into any one ability. Instead, one must allow his chakra to expell from all chakra points in his body without allowing it to completely release. In other words, Junoichi had to try to keep his chakra in one place. For this technique, and the way it is performed in Hoshigakure, that place is behind the Ninja, fanned out.
Junoichi performed the hand symbols shown to him by his master, and tried for the first time. Expelling his chakra from each point in his body, and trying hard to maintain control over it all at once. It became immediately obvious to him why Shinobi of Hoshigakure died from using these techniques; techniques that would probably be forbidden in any other village. The speed at which it uses up ones chakra, if proper control is not exercised, is immense. He felt his head begin to spin; his teeth gritted unusually hard as he tried to keep all of his chakra from expelling and leaving him uselessly. He could see he was doing something correctly, because Akahoshi's eyes were widening in amazement.
Junoichi had a loosely-formed fan of feathers behind him that were struggling to maintain a structured form. Most who attempt the technique pass out, and continue to do so for days before even showing the slightest of "fan shapes". The skilled Junoichi was, however, breaking the mode. His right eye began to glow slightly as it always did when he exerted this kind of concentration. A cerulean hued ring glowed brightly around his iris. Through the sound of his own grunting, and the sound of the massive chakra flowing, and lashing out against the wind in his immediate vicinity, he thought he could make out the phrase "Masaka!" escaping from his master's lips. This he simply brushed aside, for he felt the control upon his newly released chakra becoming much more controlled. He did not release the clasp on his signing hands until he saw the relaxed, and thoroughly impressed facial expression presented to him on Akahoshi's face.
Behind Sato Junoichi fanned one of the most spectacular displays of the Kujaku Myohou no Jutsu ever performed on a candidates first try. Akahoshi, it seemed, wasn't completely surprised. Sato Junoichi had been known for his almost freakish control over chakra for a long while. At age four, his mother had caused a small panic in the middle of the village when she came outside to see her toddler chasing a lizard... up the side of a wall. Junoichi had run up the wall by controlling the chakra in his feet without even showing the slightest sign of mental wear. He had even caught the lizard, and run back down to his mother with a big beaming smile to say "Look, Okaasan! I got it!" He wasn't old enough to understand why his mother was crying, and smiling at the same time at him. He just assumed she had been sad, and his amazing capture of a tiny lizard had made her feel better.
Akahoshi nodded his approval of the mastered technique and smiled. Junoichi bowed, and promptly fell unconscious on the floor before the village Kage. And unconscious he would stay until well into the next day when he would wake up in the village infirmary-- off to prepare himself to train for another Hoshigakure Jutsu.
( Please let me know if this is acceptable. )

The large ghostly flaming feathers vieled around Nova. They were so close, that it appeared to cinder him. Then, in a burst of adrenaline, the shell of feathers around him sprawled outward with an uplifting motion of his arm. The chakra wrapped around his opponent in fierce conduct.Bind. Then a surge of his own chakra pulsed into Hokuto. She was rendered helpless, and under his control.Control Finally, he had accomplished the technique. He released his bind from Hokuto immediately; allowing her to speak.
"Very well done Nova. Your rising through the ranks quickly. In fact, you may be of use to me in an upcoming venture. Though I'm unsure of the criteria of it yet." She said nimbly.
