Hoshi smiled softly and continued to walk forward. She was almost to the door and she slowly got to it. Hoshi jumped a little when she got to the door. She was feeling so excited to have finally gotten to the door of the library. Hoshi laughed softly and opened the door to the library. Now the only thing she had to do was to walk towards Miyako. Well, first Hoshi had to find them. Hoshi looked around a bit and wasn't sure where they were. Hoshi listened and heard mostly nothing but, silence. She then however heard Makoto's voice, then Miyako's. She knew that she was close. She just had to walk towards it. Hoshi actually felt a lot better. This library seemed to be really cold. Well, not extremely cold but, it felt nice on her skin. However it wasn't time to take a break. She just had to find them and she could take a break.

Hoshi stood back up and started to walk towards where she thought she heard the voices coming from. Hoshi smiled softly as she made it to the seal section. Well, that's what she called it. She then saw Miyako and she quickly ran over to her with a huge grin on her face. She was extremely proud of herself. She smiled at Miyako and placed the puppet down next to her. "Miyako you forgot your puppet back at the training grounds so, I brought it to you." Hoshi smiled even wider and looked around. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do anymore. She knew that a break was on that list of things but, she wasn't sure what to do exactly next. "Also it was really heavy." Hoshi laughed softly and smiled even wider. She was happy with herself.

Well, I don't think Urza said anything. At least I didn't hear her if she did. I tried to get you your puppet as fast I could. Hoshi said to Miyako when she asked. Hoshi smiled softly at Miyako and looked around. Hoshi really had no interest in learning this stuff. It wasn't that she couldn't but, she was just really into the genjutsu. She didn't have a lot of time to train anything else. Hoshi shook her head softly to Miyako. I've never really had an interest in it. I haven't seen the point in it. I don't need to carry around weapons or anything so, I don't need it for that. I also don't really know any jutsus in this type of thing. Honestly I haven't really thought about it though. Maybe someday if I think I may need it. Though if there is a seal to keep chakra somewhere I may want to learn that but, that's the only purpose I can see for it.

Miyako looked back down at the scroll. The words were jumping right at her and she was storing as much knowledge as she could about seals into her brain. She had read something about a elemental seal, but she didn't quite get what that meant. It had something to do with disturbing chakra, but in a rather weird way... Parts of the scroll also looked rather worn in that area as well, so the information was only general if anything. Hmm... perhaps in my travels I should keep an eye out for this type of thing...

She continued scrolling (pun intended) through the parchment, gathering anything and everything she could. There was a section about forbidden seals, but it only gave a small description of what they did and why they were forbidden. Hmm... I would like to get more info on these, if only for the sake of studying them. Maybe they could be reformed to something not so... forbidden? You know what they say of forbidden fruit... It was only a thought, but wouldn't it be beneficial to know what to look out for when making seals?

Hoshi shrugged a bit as she looked over Miyako's shoulder at the scroll. I think I'm going to go take a break, then after that I'm going to try and finish my chakra training. I'll be glad to help you with genjutsu training however. It would be good for our team to be built against it. I mean Genjutsu will probably hardly affect me. Hoshi smiled softly and continued to read over Miyako's shoulder. She wasn't really paying attention to the reading. She was just reading what she found interesting. Which was actually a lot but, still she didn't really have any plans of going into it.

Hoshi nodded. Yeah we could go there. I haven't been to there since I've gotten in this village. After that though I'm going to go right back to training. Hoshi smiled a bit and looked around the place. Hoshi needed to get some Ryo. She spent most of it on her bow. She still had a little left. However Ryo just doesn't fall out of the sky. Hoshi sighed a little and kept her smile on. Hoshi laughed softly and looked down at Miyako. We can go as long as I don't have to carry your puppet. Hoshi laughed softly and continued to look around.

Walking into the library and preparing for a long day, makoto smiled as he was getting his supplies ready to make a book that he was going to enjoy making for himself. It was a 13 year olds point of view into the mastery of the nodachi. His point of views and his feelings in the matter were going to be placed in the book. But he was already somewhat in tuned to what he was going to be writing down in the book, so it was time for him to get started in the writing.

Makoto started taking the pieces of paper that were around him and his supplies, making notes of the books contents and the process of the hardships he had to go through. It was to be a very insightful book that he was hoping to make, this would be a good read on his behalf… but what about everyone elses? The book would be good to him but bad to everyone else, so he was going to make it into an informational book about the topic at hand. He was thinking about the intro that he wanted to do into the book, he wanted it to be strong and good… he got his wish as the idea came up.

The beginning was perfect and beautifully thought out, he would start with a small introduction about himself and the intro into the main topic itself. The words were going to be simple and straight forward, like welcoming them into the book like a proper guide, but at the same time making it feel informative about the topic at hand. The nodachi was a cleaver weapon that takes a long time to master, it was also bigger than any of the weapons out there and used only for Calvary attacks. But this guide was different, he was going to put it in an open field usage in combat… both horseback and on foot.

Placing the pencil down, makoto started to think about the swordsmanship that he had to place into words. This was going to be hard for him regardless, but he was in a library and the words were already all around him to be used in his book. Jumping up out of the chair that he was sitting in and placing the notes and the intro to the book down on the deck, makoto went off and returned with a Dictionary and a thesaurus. He wanted to use a lot of words to describe the sword play and the training that it took for him to get to the point where he was at now.

Opening both the dictionary and the thesaurus, makoto started to search through the pages of the book and took another piece of paper to write the interesting words that he was collecting from the pages. It was not going to be easy, like he had thought earlier, but it was a good place to start with his book… by finding the perfect mixture of words and sentences to make a perfect guide and book into the introduction into the art of the nodachi. Not literally an art mind you but a interesting guide to wielding it in battle.

Finding the perfect way to start off the first few pages, makoto started to write down the story and the beginning lessons into the nodachi mastery. He started with the usual measurements and the weight of both the nodachi. There were differences between the wooden one and the steel one that he had, but he also listed that detail into the pages as he write. He dedicated one page to the wooden nodachi while the other side of the page was dedicated to the metal version of the weapon itself. He labelled the wooden one as a perfect to craft and to practice with, if you could craft it, but a wooden one was highly recommended for training.

Now that he was stating them as both training and pure combat use only, makoto decided that it would be best to go through and explain his reasons for his recommendation. The wooden ones were great for beginner Calvary units that wanted to train with it on the fields or during practice on horse back, also it was recommended that the people who would be wielding this book in the future must have a passion to wield the great and long katana on the field or horse back, because like all other blades, they had their own limitations as well. But it was well thought out and well worded too, but this was mostly threw his point of view.

He would then turn the page around and started to write down the advantages of the wooden nodachis over the metal versions that were being made, even if the list was small to begin with. But after a moment of writing the list on the paper and numbering it form 1 to 4, makoto always had placed the most important piece of information first on the list that made the wooden nodachis better than their metal counterparts. The wooden nodachi’s only knocked the people out instead of gutting them like a fish, the wooden ones were somewhat balanced to the weight and the length of the metals counterparts.

Placing the pencil down on the desk, makoto closed his eyes and took a deep breath in for a moment before releasing a great, big, sigh of relief. He was going to take a break from writing for a moment, instead he was going to continue to read the dictionary and the thesaurus that he had with him. Covering the papers up with the books for a moment, he turned to a few pages in the dictionary and looked for the word in the thesaurus. He wanted to use new and different words in his book to make it more entertaining for the reader, but he was also helping himself without knowing it… he was continuing his education after the academy.

After a while of relaxing in the chair at the library, makoto started to think about the metal counterparts of the nodachi before the ideas came to him. Moving the books to the side of the desk, closed and neatly stacked up, makoto took the pencil in his hand and started writing down the benefits that would come with having a metallic nodachi on the battle field on both horse back. In the field of battle without said horse, the nodachi was even more effective to him then on horse back, but others may only use it on horseback than in the field of battle… it was official to him to state a warning at the end of the paper that it was a personal preference thing.
