{{A teacher does not approach your character Mondude. You can see Tenza and the Daidoumyaku Master somewhere on the side of the room and a larger class being taught by a monk on the side... but no one is just going to approach you, you have to show the initiative.}}

Tsubasa Deido
|Academy Student| Otogakure| Ninjutsu specialist|  Tsubasa soon realized that nobody was going to teach him, so he deciding to screw being polite and go find a teacher. He chose the monk with only one person, as he would be easier to approach. As he strolled over, he thought about what to say. "Hello, can you teach me Daidoumyaku please? If you are too busy with your other student, I will leave." Tsubasa said to the monk teaching the other Shinobi. He knew from rumors that these monks liked to deny people from learning Taijutsu, as they were on orders from the Otokage to only teach those worthy.

 Daidoumyaku Master
| Earth Element| Daidoumyaku Instructor | Otogakure | NPC | As he was about to go on with the lesson, the master was suddenly interrupted, turning with a bit of a confused look on his face as Tsubasa spoke. Standing up from his stance, he turned to speak to the boy, but made a quick instruction to Tenza first... "Alright... start Palm striking that rice bag over and over again... but keep that stance and don;t move from it, I don't care how much it hurts." Turning back to Tsubasa now, the Daidoumyaku master wore a wide smile, which in no way indicated that he was about to tell this young man that he could not be trained, but then remembered his face suddenly.
Again, this seemed to be another one of the newer academy students which was made aware to him by the higher ups. Not bothering to give him the whole 'What are you doing this for speech' as that could come later... he simply smiled and invited the boy over... "Yes, yes... of course, I was told you were coming please join us. Here, you can take this straw dummy over here. Assume the exact form that Tenza here is in and then strike striking the torso of the dummy. do it over and over again and hold your stance... this is all about form. I'll give you some more of the details you missed when we continue." of course, aside from having been shown a picture of the boy, the Master had received no such warning, but he figured he'd kill two brids with one stone here and save himself some time. Training two or three students at once would be just as effective as training just one in his mind, especially at the lower levels of the style.

Tenza Zangetsu
|| Crystal release || Otogakure || Academy Student || Elemental Control Crystal and Sound ||  Tensa nodded to the master's instructions, not caring much for Tsubasa at this point. ' Not gonna bother right now... After I'm done here I'll go eat.' He thought as he released a sigh. The student closed his eyes and took in a deep breath opening them once more, he looked at the dummy, suddenly his hand erupted toward the dummy, striking it with his palm in the center of the stomach with his left hand, he retracted his left hand and thrusted his hand on to the dummies torso once more, retracting his right hand he sighed and hit the dummy with his left palm in the center area of the chest, around where the ribs begin. ' This is just to easy.' He thought as he retracted his arm once more and moved his hand toward the original stance possition, he then moved his right hand toward the dummy suddenly feeling a piercing pain on his left leg. ' Damn it...' he thought as flinched a bit and almost lost the composure of the stance by pulling his leg upward, but before this happened he moved his weight toward that leg, staying in the stance.

Daidoumyaku Master - Daichi
| Earth Element| Daidoumyaku Instructor | Otogakure | NPC | "No, no, no!..." Daichi walked over to Tenza and slapped him on the back of the head, which was his way of correcting students. He looked rather disappointed with something, though it would be hard for Tenza to know what from considering he was jsut starting in the taijutsu style. "When did I say for you to perform the palm strike with both hands? PRIMARY hand first, then you work on the other hand after you've learned it with your main hand. Now do it again and keep your left hand in the position I showed you the entire time through. And keep your legs steady!"
At his correction, Daichi then kicked Tenza's weak leg in the underside of his thigh. "Keep it steady and distribute the weight evenly over both legs... leaning more on one then the other will put you off balance and ruin everything. Aside from that it also favors one side, weakening the other, so make sure you're properly distributing the weight every time you're in this stance." It may have seemed cruel for Daichi to teach in this manner, but ti was his way... and he was probably the roughest of the teachers and rather unforgiving to even newcomers in the style. That is why he placed so much emphasis on a student's motivations when first training them... because they would need it to complete a training regime under his command.

Tenza Zangetsu
|| Crystal release || Otogakure || Academy Student || Elemental Control Crystal and Sound || " I'm sorry sensei, I'll try to do better, I just assumed I had to strike with both hands." He told the teacher as he moved back into his position, the left hand overlapping his heart, and his right hand pulled back with the fingers slightly distanced one from the other, Daichi then corrected his footing, which he was grateful for. ' Steady... distribute the weight evenly.' He thought repeating what the teacher told him to do, and so he did it, me shifted his weight on to the legs, making them balance out the entire body. ' Okay, now strike!' he thought as his right hand bolted toward the dummy hitting it in the center of the chest with the open palm, the student took in a deep breath and repeated the movement several times before looking at the teacher. " Like that?" he asked the teacher wanting to make sure he was doing things correctly.

Tsubasa Deido
|Academy Student| Otogakure| Ninjutsu specialist| Tsubasa nodded at the master's orders. He copied Tenza's stance, which seemed to be a modified horse stance. He heard what the master had said to Tenza, and began to strike with one hand, distributing the weight over both legs. He had a little trouble with this part, as he was not used to keeping a stable stance, when he fought he liked to move around. No matter. Tsubasa just kept striking the dummy.

Daidoumyaku Master - Daichi
| Earth Element| Daidoumyaku Instructor | Otogakure | NPC | Nodding slowly and letting out a few approving grunts as he watched both of the students complete the palm strikes well enough for their level, Daichi was about ready to accelerate them both to the next part of their training. It seemed that Tsubasa was fortunate enough to show up at a time when he could easily learn from Tenza's mistakes and skip some of Daichi's more harsh corrections. Either way, next up were the kicks...
"Alright, that's good enough for that, you both seem to have the stance down. Keep in mind however, in the later stages, the exact stance will not be required. The stance is used to strengthen the appropriate muscles and force you to focus on the method of your palm strikes. You will see why it is so important later. For now however, we move on to the kicks. For these, simply keep your arms to your side, but hold your right arm up when kicking with your right leg, and left arm up when kicking with the left. The arm movement is meant to act as a potential guard, but focus on the kick's accuracy in striking the target. the force will come later." Directing them to kick the side of the dummy where another rice bag was placed for them to aim at, Daichi stepped aside to watch his students attempt this next phase.

Tenza Zangetsu
|| Crystal release || Otogakure || Academy Student || Elemental Control Crystal and Sound || Tensa nodded to his teacher's directions letting out a sigh, he lowered his arms letting go of some of the strain that was put on his body due to the stance. He looked at the side of the dummy. He kicked the side of the dummy with his left leg, quickly moving his right hand across his body, as if it had a shield, when his foot got off the ground he shifted his center of balance to his other foot, so he wouldn't lose it. ' This seems pretty easy.' He thought as he retracted his foot and lowered his hand only to strike the dummy a few centemiters off where he had hit it the first time, and again, he moved his right hand upward in a blocking and shielding motion, covering his torso and neck.
(( Sorry for the wait Cobra, I didn't notice you had posted. ))

Tsubasa Deido
|Academy Student| Otogakure| Ninjutsu specialist| Tsubasa nodded in confirmation. This did not seem to hard. But then again, this was just the first stage of training. Hopefully the style eased them into learning the harder stuff, but Tsubasa had the nagging feeling that it would just get really hard, really fast. Tsubasa kicked teh dummy with his Right leg, Holding his right arm up, like he was going to block something. It was after about the third kick that he felt happy he no longer held the horse stance. But eventually, even this move repeated over over was tiring and kind of painful. Tsubasa did not grimace, however, and he kept up the pace.

Daidoumyaku Master - Daichi
| Earth Element| Daidoumyaku Instructor | Otogakure | NPC | Circling both of his students for a while, Daichi couldn't really say much of their style... as it was rather weak. Of course, that is how the beginning stages of all Taijutsu were... the first few stages being relatively useless in combat, but still necessary. It often seemed that even the early stages of a style would be crushed by the average street brawler, but in the end, brawling was just that... and these young ninja would be forged into great warriors in the end. Watching the kicks come in consistently against the rice bags, Daichi had figured he had seen enough of this level of the training which was not as important.
"Alright you two... that's enough of that. Your kicks seem to be good enough for the time being. we will of course work on them more in the future, but for now, they seem good enough. The next level is defense." Walking over to a shelf behind the dummies, Daichi grabbed a set of foam shuriken, heavily weighted to feel and somewhat throw like the real thing, but made to be non-deadly. Holding one up, he pushed it against his skin to assure his students that this exercise would not cut them. "Fro this exercise, you'll each stand where you were in the Horse Stance and I will throw these shuriken at you. your job is to attempt to deflect them with kunai in your hands. Don't feel bad if you can't do it at first though... these things take time. You will not be able to deflect the majority of them."
Once they were ready, had removed their kunai, and gotten into the horse stance, Daichi began firing off the foam shuriken, tossing them two at a time, one at Tsubasa and the other at Tenza. Each toss came about 3 seconds after the last, and they came from differing heights, speeds and angle... at time, the shuriken would even cross paths and change targets id-swing, a testament to Daichi's skill in wielding them. After this, all that would be needed was the final lesson and these two would have graduated the first stage of the taijutsu.

Tenza Zangetsu
|| Crystal release || Otogakure || Academy Student || Elemental Control Crystal and Sound || Tensa wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead. ' What now.' He thought as Daichi still had not said the whole defense training bit. ' Defense huh, it's equally important I guess.' He thought as he let go of a sigh and his eyes followed Daichi as he reached for the shuriken, when he got them out he was a little nervous. " W-what you aren't gonna throw those at us....right?" He asked himself muttering as he gulped but then he saw Daichi stabbing himself with it, which brought him some relief, he took a kunai and smirked at Daichi. " Oh really? I'm pretty sure not one will hit me." He told Daichi closing his eyes as soon as he threw the first one, which hit him in the middle of his forehead, he moved his arm to rub his head and then he was hit by another one in the arm. ' Ow...' He thought as he held his kunai in an underhanded way, looking at Daichi, whom shot another shuriken at him, he twisted the kunai in his finger and swung at the shuriken, but his swing was to fast and barely missed the kunai, getting hit in his forearm.
Tensa sighed at this and spun the kunai in his index finger just as the master threw two shuriken, the two fake weapons clashed making them spin toward him, he held the knife with the sharped edge pointing down and slashed downward knocking it toward the floor. ' Yes.' He thought as the other one still rushed toward him, he then slashed upward with the kunai, it hit the shuriken just barely in the final edge of the weapon, making it stop spinning and go to the ground.

Daidoumyaku Master - Daichi
| Earth Element| Daidoumyaku Instructor | Otogakure | NPC | "Hmmmph, as expected, your form is terrible. Those last two strikes were merely lucky, but all of the previous ones would have seriously injured you. However, it is to be expected of a student just starting out, so for now, that's fine. At the end of your training however, no manner of projectile attack should ever be able to hit you. Now, pick up all the shuriken I just threw and I'll be back to show you the final technique for this level, the Hakike no Tsuki." Expecting Tenza to follow his instructions, Daichi left him to follow his orders, moving to a side room before taking out a special wooden dummy, which looked to be identical to the one they were already using, except that it's base was much sturdier.
Carrying it out to the area in front of Tenza, he set it down and began prodding it at several points along the rice bags, seemingly looking for something. "Ah, there it is.' Poking the bag one more time, the eyes of the dummy, which were seemingly just colored red, lit up with a flash and emitted a *DING* noise. "Alright, this is the training dummy for the first technique of the Daidoumyaku. As you should already know, the Daidoumyaku uses the air itself, or more accurately, sound waves carried through the air to achieve it's greatest effect. By channeling chakra into the palm and vibrating it to create violent sound waves, a Daidoumyaku practitioner is capable of illiciting an effect in a human target."
"At the higher levels, this can be extremely harmful, even fatal in some cases, but for you, it means little more then unsettling someone's stomach." Standing in front of the dummy, Daichi assumed the horse stance, holding himself firmly, distributing his weight properly, and moved his arms into the formations he had taught during the palm strikes. "It may take a few tries to get used to, but watch what I do... pull your hand back." As he spoke, he showed the maneuver with his hands, describing every detail as he moved... "Begin to channel chakra into the arm and tense your muscles until you feel them shake, then channel that into your palm and the chakra gathered there and then... Strike!"
As he said the word, Daichi's hand thrust forward directly into the stomach of the dummy. Not much seemed to happen on the surface, as the strike wasn't particularly hard, or fast, but the lights which were the eyes quickly lit up and let out a resounding *Ding*. "You'll know you performed the technique properly when you see the eyes flash and hear the ding. If only the eyes flash, you struck the right area, but didn't manipulate the sound vibrations properly, which means the technique failed. remember, this isn't about force... it's about sending vibrations through an opponent's digestive track to make them nauseated and sick. Okay... go ahead and try" Moving out of the stance, he moved to the side to observe Tenza's training.
{{Go ahead and make all three of your training posts in one post Akura. Also, sorry for the late reply... things have been insanely busy lately.}}

The dojo was a sight Taki and Jin would be used to seeing. As he stepped to the monk who guarded the entrance, Taki would bow to him. As the two rose, the monk opened the way to the dojo. Stepping down the steps, the room much cooler than the outside, Taki's eyes scanned the entire room. Many students who knew of him bowed, and he nodded his head to each of them. But one particular pair caught his eye. He had never seen them before, and clearly they were learning from Master Daichi. "Too bad for them eh?" Jin whispered. Taki nodded. The two of them watched as sensei Daichi attempted a technique on a dummy.
Before the young academy student began the technique the twins would have walked, over to their old master. "Master Daichi," Taki said simply as he bowed before him. When he rose he looked down at the genin, not a huge height difference but a noticeable one. The two then walked away to find what they were looking for.
When they emerged from a back room, he had a blue scroll in his hand, and a couple of training dummies. Jin smiled widely under his hat, and then it began as they headed for the open courtyard.

Tenza Zangetsu
|| Crystal release || Otogakure || Academy Student || Elemental Control Crystal and Sound || Tensa sighed after hearing Daichi's comment. " I will improve... this I assure you." He muttered as the other man entered the room, but Tensa simply ignored him and began to pick up all of the shuriken that where on the floor. Just when he got the last one Daichi brought the dummy, after hearing his explanation the student nodded and assumed his stance again, his knees bent and feet apart, similar to the horse stance, his left hand overlapping his heart and his right hand pulled back with the fingers spread evenly. " Okay, First some pressition practice." He muttered as he moved his hand slightly back with his eyes locked on the dummy, he then moved his hand rapidly toward the dummy, upon contact the eyes did not light up, he sighed and kept his hand there for a few more moments examining where his hand was. " I was only off by a bit." He muttered as he removed his hand from the dummy. He then smashed his hand on to the dummy once more, this time the eyes lite up.
Tensa smiled at this and pulled his arm back focusing his chakra on to it. " Okay, now for the vibration." He said as he began to try to tense up his muscles making them vibrate slightly. ' Okay, I think this is enough.' He thought, although he was very wrong on his decision. He then slammed his hand on to the dummy just where he had done the first time, but only the eyes lite up, he pulled his arm back a bit frustrated. " Okay, more vibration then." He muttered as he tensed up his muscles once more and drove his hand into the dummy, but once more only the eyes lite up.
" Damn it.." Tensa said with a sigh. ' Remember... it's not the strength nor the power... it's the accuracy... as well as the control of the sound waves in the air... It's not about how strong I am... It's how accurate and how well I channel my power.' He thought as he closed his eyes and began to tense his muscles even more, until his hand began to vibrate more then before. " I think I got it know.." He sighed as he pulled his hand further back. " Okay... I'll go ahead and do it now." he said as his hand kept shaking. He then slammed his hand on to the dummy making it's eyes shine as well as the * DING* sound appear.
