Kyo gave the senju a bit of a smirk before commenting to his previous statement."I'm not worried really. I'm sure that all of you genin know enough to keep yourself out of too much harm. I think you both will do fine." Kyo turned towards to Judau and walked in his direction. Upon reaching him he grabbed the tip of the blade with two of his fingers, preventing him from swinging it further. Just doing so to get his attention he spoke up. "Hey, don't just flail it around. There are specific muscles you want to strengthen that will benefit you most while using such a weapon." Leaning down he helped him with his hand placement. Placing his left dominant hand up just under the hand protector and his other hand all the way at the bottom of the hilt leaving a bit of space between the two."Now the type of swing you want to do is a frontal downward strike from over your head down to your hips. Swing as hard and fast as you can but only as fast as you can to stop it without letting the blade pass below your waist. Doing this will strengthen your forearms allowing you to naturally swing the blade faster while stopping the weapon at that exact spot will help strengthen your shoulders giving you more control with the blade."
Then turning his attention to the new Genin he walked about to say with his usual enthusiasm, but noticed his eyes. Something about him sent a small chill up his back. Kyo rarely got a feeling of the sort from a genin let alone another ninja. "Ahh the other promising Uchiha. Trouble with Walter? That's not a hard one to believe. Don't worry we should have you back on track" Smiling some at the chance to have a go at the champ once again. They would have to hold back some given the other genin about training as well as the last time they pulled out most of the stops they practically wrecked the building they were in. Walking over to the sword rack he noticed that they had no length to his liking.... "Hey Higure! I'm Just gona make a water sword. A normal katana just isn't to my liking. Don't worry ill dull the blade and alter its constancy." Waving his hand swiftly across the air he collected the vapor in the air before forming a five foot long blade that resembled much of his previous weapon that Judau was now using. The edge of the sword was slightly rounded to prevent any sort of advantage over the wooden sword.
Being a bit before he has faced such a skilled shinobi, he was a bit concerned for the well being of the students in the room. If they both were careful then things should have been okay."We might want to refrain from using any ninjutsu above rank C for the fact this room might give out with too much abuse." Kyo took a moment to undo his jacket letting it fall to the floor, exposing his upper body and the dozens of scars nearly everywhere his jacket was covering. But the most obvious one was the two foot gash across his back. Turning back facing his Kage he raised the odachi towards him."Whenever your ready."

As the user's control improves, he can manipulate the shape and size he/she wants the sword to have, from a tiny dagger to a massive decapitator sword. At the minimum requirements, the sword has minimal offensive power, able to make slight cuts and tears in the flesh of an opponent, and susceptible to high pressure (an opponent breaking the blade with a weapon of his own) and fire attacks. Academy Level: The sword can be up to the size of a wakizashi, and is fragile, breaking under the pressure of weapon strikes against it and low level fire ninjutsu. Genin Level: The sword can be up to the size of a katana, and is now as strong as a normal, metal blade. Strong Fire Ninjutsu can still destroy the blade, however. Chuunin Level: The sword can be up to the size of a nodachi, and now cuts with the edge of a finely crafted blade. It can no longer be destroyed by any genin level fire ninjutsu and using it as a defensive sweep can negate academy level Fire ninjutsu.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this?
[fuu no odachi - heavy slash 1/1] It seems the Senju decided to join the dojo. Even if he was not as bad as Jyo's worries probably placed him to be, the guy was still an asswipe. Still, even if being an asswipe, he WAS strong... Probably stronger that a lot of people above them, really. What was it that they called these kinds of ninja again? Geniuses?... Meh, not worth pondering about it too much. While Judau was holding the blade, it seemed that he was not doing it all that correctly... His right hand was near the middle of the pommel, but otherwise, no major difference as far as where he could tell. A bit less confortable to hold, but Judau knew this would allow better manouvering of the blade. Taking Kyo's advice and instructions, Judau nodded to it. "So just a vertical slash...*hic* The hiccups were almost gone as Judau whispered to himself. Placing the blade overhead, Judau prepared to make the strongest strike he tought himself capable of stoping. Strengthening the grip on the blade, Judau brought down the sword as instructed, causing a perculiar sound to be emited as the large sword cut through the air. Just as it reached wait height, Judau started to stop it, but the momentum of the blade was bigger that expected, causing the gennin to have to immediatly adjust his footing... But in the end, he was cable of doing it, stopping the thing somewhat bellow the limit. A single pant came out, more of surprize that of tiredness... This was going to be diferent that usual.
[Fuu no Odachi - Two-Handed Finesse: Accustomization 1/2] Time to try again... This time, atempting to stop the blade a bit earlier. The amount of momentum the odachi gave out when swung downward was just ridiculous! Re-taking he original position, Judau took a deep breath. Nt only was the blade the heaviest one he ever used, it also was just as long as the genin was tall. While it wouldn't be impossible to carry it on his back if tilted, it sure as well wasn't incospicious. Maybe when Judau had the money, he'd search for a somewhat shorter nodachi... Just 10 or 15 cm would do. Again taking the sword down, he was capable of keeping his footing, but not to stop the blade in time... Not to mention, he felt as if the swing was lacking if he attempted to stop it too soon. Maybe the Shunkan no Hagane stance wasn't optimal for this kind of weapon... Separating his feet a bit further and taking a step back with his left leg, he got into a stance that could probably balance him better if heavy movements were needed... And they were.
[Fuu no Odachi - Two-Handed Finesse: Accustomization 2/2] A deep breath to concentrate as a ANBU reported to the mizukage... Visitors? That was rather strange, but nothing seemed to be too out of place everything concidered. The snowy season was still on it's way after all. Judau was ready to try once again, raising the Odachi and bringing it down as soon as it was ready, once again passing waist-height. Like last time, Judau didn't loose as much balance, but diiferently from that time, a lot more power as placed at the blade, the swing didn't FEEL lacking. He was getting close, all that was left was probably some strengthening of the shoulders to be able to keep the blade from comming down too much and still get the slash to be powerfull. The process of swinging, adjusting footing and pressure placed on the hilt as it was brought down was repeated five or six times before Judau was concistently capable of peforming powerfull slashes without wavering. This was actually turning out quite well!
[Fuu no Odachi - Pommel Bash 1/1] Now that he tought about it, this training that was getting him used to the Odachi was similar to something he saw before... What was it again? Searching through his memories, Judau remembered. It was the Fuu no Odachi! A style his brother in law once tried to use, but didn't quite get used to. Concidering Kyo was about to enter a spar with the mizukage... Wait, were two of the village's strongest ninja about to spar in the same building Judau was in? Not a pleasant tought, but he guessed no death would come of it... As long as he kept himself away from the immediate area around the two. Stepping away to near the place most scrolls where, Judau would atempt to read som basic technques of the style while he was at it. The first one he already learned without knowing, the heavy slash... What else was there? A pommel bash? Seemed simple enough. Spining the Odachi on his hands to face the oposite end, Judau dashed towards one of the dommies. His speed was somewhat lower that normal thanks to the blade, but still nice. Pushing both his hands towards the 'victim', a small crack was heard as the sword's pommel sunk itself a bit into the training object. It seems there was a lot of power into this style, regardless of technique.
Looking back, Judau took notice of another ninja that entered the dojo. Black hair, somewhat pale skin... Almost as tall as Takahara. He seemed like an uchiha. Specially thanks to the whole uchiha simbol on the back of his jacket thing. Judau belived there was something going on between them and another clan... He just couldn't quite remember what or against who. Still, i seemed he was not pleased with his teacher for some reason. Walter, was it? Rang a bell somewhere. No matter, it probably wasn't wise to train too much while a giant spectacle was about to go down. One that could harm him if cught off guard. Judau would wait to see how destructive the duel would be in it's start before atempting any other technique, it was safer that way.

Higure looked over to Bui as he asked for a Sensei change. "Hmm... Very well. You are now a student of Selene. Go now." The Mizukage then looked around the room at Kyo's mention of the building not being sturdy enough. "You're right. I don't want to hold back so let's go to the ocean! I'll meet you there... Judau. Takahara." The Mizukage said acknowledging everyone as he left the Dojo. [Exit to the Ocean]

Kyosata stood for a moment feeling a bit conflicted. Looking at Judau and then again at the Kage. Not many chances to fight the leader of the village, but then again the genin might need further use of his knowlage and ability. That and he felt slightly uneasy about leaving him alone with Takahara. Crossing his arms for a moment thinking of how to go about this. Looking up quickly he smiled again snapping his fingers. "I got it!" Making a quick hand sign making a quick clone of himself beside him."There! Covered all the bases. Now Judau feel free to ask my clone if you have any questions. It will be as though I'm right here. Oh and by the way. Your welcome for the new present your holding. I have another sword at my place that I just haven't taken the time to learn to use. It's best that I start to."
Smiling some to him before throwing his jacket over his shoulder walking from the dojo bare backed. Before looking at the Uchiha once more. "I expect good things from you. Selene's a good teacher. Just be sure to get off on the right foot. And whatever you do.... Don't! Touch her chest." He said taking a few moments to rub his jaw once more. Even though he had used an S rank prevention to her attack it still rattled his mouth. Had that been a genin, their looks might not have been the most enticing to the ladies afterwards. He continued out the door to his greatly desired battle. Walking with his five foot water sword hanging low to his side.

Abilities Used
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique] Rank: B - 40 chakra Description: Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. When Naruto stole the scroll of seals, he learned this technique as well. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added. This is especially true when used with Tajuu Kage Bunshin.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this?
[Mist Sword Style - Shifting Side 1/1] Judau took a sigh of relief when he noticed the fight wasn't going to be where he was. Sure, there would be no jonin around wich was a bother... But better that wreking the place, he guessed. Until Kyo made a kage bushin, leaving it in his place to oversee the three genin's training. And gift? What... The odachi gleamed a bit as it moved with the genin's shift in position, reflecting some light and reminding the trainee what was in his hand. Judau was a bit surprized at the development, just being able to speak a single word scratching the back of his head for a moment. "T-Thanks." Well, it seemed Judau just found a way to deepen his training of the Mist sword style. The next technique was a simple strike with the blunt side of the blade to strike the oponent and since it needed a lot of momentum, smaller blades didn't cut it*. Taking up position with spread legs and the nodachi almost horizontaly to his left, Judau would start. A training dummy wouldn't do since it wasn't affected too much by the strike's force, being nailed to the ground, so a ghost oponent would have to do. The technique in itself was like the 'heavy slash' of the Fuu no odachi, but on a difrent axis. Taking a violent step foward, Judau let out a prolonged grunt as the pulled the blade to the exact ais of his center. The sword moved slowly in comparison to his normal blades, but the power behind it was just something else, lefting a wave of dust in it's wake before stopping almost perfectly in line with Judau's midsection... Not to say it didn't go past it a bit, but the adjustment needed was minor.
[Mist Sword Style - Vertical Decent 1/1] Next was a technique Sana, his old teacher at the academy, performed to the class when exeplifying the kenjutsu's strengths and weaknesses. All students were given wooden blades that say and Sana made several water clones, only a tenth as strong as she was. The objective was to block a single strike that would come from the clones... All of them charged at once, seemingly disapearing before a sharp strike came from above, hitting pretty much all students. Judau was capable of atempting to block, but all he did was hurt his hands as the strike broke through his hastly-risen defenses effortesly. Maybe it was time to mimic that movement... Getting ready, Judau charged foward before jumping up with an enourmous amount of strength. The Odachi once again kept him from doing it pefercly, but even if he wasn't as fast as most users of the technique, he was still well up in the air. With the sword overhead, Judau came almost crashing down with a heavy vertical slash that he atempted to stop before cutting the floor, but he lacked the upper body power to do so, leaving a gash on the wooden ground. Oh, well... It's not like the dojo went through reforms every now and then.
[Enhaced Divide 1/2] The next technique Judau was planning to learn required a smaller blade... But concidering it would be rather harmfull to the flow of the training right now, Judau would instead skip it to learn the next one. This technique gave a slight increase of speed and strength of the user's arms, allowing more dominance over the battle... But it had a somewhat short duration, even with it's rather small chakra drain. Still, it was a good thing to have in a pinch and the fact Judau could pretty much activate it at will made it a nice little trump card if he needed to surprize his oponent. The method itself was simple, fill your arms with a small amount of chackra and let them become more powerfull. Doing both at the same time might proove problematic, however, so Judau would start by doing so just to his left arm.
[Enchanced Divide 2/2] Easy enough, Judau felt as the energy filled his being before being directed to his left arm, that surprizingly started to emit a very faint green glow... But to see it one would have to actually pay attention to it, so for all intents and pouposes, it was invisible while in a battle, having his arms swinging around. Good enough, Judau supposed. Now to the other arm... It seemed somewhat simple, really but the trick was in wich pathways to utilize in order to minimize chakra usage and prolong it's effect for as long as possible. With both his arms filled with energy, Judau took two quick swings, feeling his heightened power help in moving the blade. It wasn't much, but it was easy to notice that it DID make the sword lighter in his hands. After training the next move, Judau would take a small break to catch his breath and observe the other genin.
[Fuu no Odachi - Stepping Horizon 1/1] This time, Judau once agin looked through the Fuu no Odachi's scroll to find a move that could proove itself usefull. The stepping horizon was simple enough, but easy to see how vital it was to get used to. Once Judau ha enough upper body strength to swing the odachi freely, this was going to be easely the most used technique when chaining attacks. First, he would asume a stance similar to the one he used when training his grip on the Odachi, but this time reversing footing. This was so he could give a step foward with his right leg as he slashed the air with the sword. oing so wasn't the problem, as Judau soon learned, but keeping himself from giving an opening to his oponent since the blade forced him to overstep with it's momentum... Well, all the more reason to train. Stopping for a bit, he turned towards the other genin.
((OOC: *Horrible accidental pun is horrible. Will edit the other two techniques after i'm done with something here. Also, now i re-read the training reductions and post length, it seems while in the Fuu no Odachi, i'l be blowing through everything up to B rank with a single post... Holy ********>

Bui Uchiha
Theme :: Genin :: Genjutsu/Bloodline :: Kirigakure :: Chakra 355 :: AC 0 :: Ryo 500 ::
Bui inspected the man to spoke to him as he entered calling him a promising Uchiha. "What Uchiha isn't promising?" The young genin raised an eyebrow at the man. Turning to the Mizukage as he spoke about a new sensei Bui was relieved. "Thank you Lord Mizukage, i'm sure that Walter is a great jounin. I just didn't really have faith in the man just the way he carried himself." Turning back to the man with the earring. "Won't have to worry about me touching her, I have no intentions of touching or harming another Kiri shinobi." Bui pivoted on his heels as the two men spoke of leaving to spar elsewhere, he may drop by to watch some of the stronger shinobi in the village duke it out but for now he had jutsu to learn, and he would hunt down his new sensei and learn some things. Bui's hands flashed as he formed rapid hand seals and as he snapped in the last one a cloud of smoke appeared to his right and slightly behind him. (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - 40 chakra) Bui tilted his head slightly to the side and spoke to the clone. "Go find Sensei and start learning jutsu, I am going to the Uchiha compound I am going to learn more about our bloodline." The clone nodded and darted out of the dojo and took off down the street in search of their new sensei. Bui looked back at the Jounin and Mizukage. "See you guys around." he exited with his left hand in his pocket and right hand raised up in the air in a half wave. turning the opposite direction of his clone he began walking down the street.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this? [Fuu no Odachi - Falling Divide 1/1] Well, it seemed the Uchiha left the precint after being assigned to Judau's squad. Takahara, on the other hand, seemed to be training a throwing style and the back leg. If what Judau heard about that style is true, the Senju's chackra control would be going through the roof soon. Well, enough of that, time to continue his training. The trusty scroll at his side, Judau looked over more techniques for the Fuu no Odachi. Next up was the Falling Divide, a simple overhead slash made from above the oponent, similar to the Mist style technique he just practiced but with the diference that chackra was used as a sourge in order to increase jump height and slash speed. Well, it's not like Judau had anything to spend his on anyway. This time Judau was SURE he couldn't keep the sword from hitting the floor, so instead, he would strike a dummy so that something could stop the sword for him. Now that he tought about it, the aftermatch of one of these techniques would be rather... Gruesome. No helping it thought, this was a solid style and would help Judau as a shinobi. Jumping up, the genin was able to reach 2 meters in length of his jump, much to his surprize... But all the better, it made the slash hit with the body of the blade as it almost bisected the wooden figurine.
[Fuu no Odachi - Coiling Steel 1/1] Another techhnique that required chackra usage was presenting itself to be learned. This style was becoming increasingly chackra heavy as it went... But thats how it was with most anyway. The way this one utilized said boost in power was diferent thought. Instead of making one outright stronger or faster, it was used to surprize the oponent by suddently accelerating a semingly slow blow... Probably a good way to start fights or end them. It required a single short burst into the arms, so it used a completely diferent pathway that the enhanced divide. The genin now would prepare a stance perfectly still, holding the Odachi as he would in the shunkan no Hagane style, perfectly parallel in front of him before calmly pulling it backwards to a horizontal position and advancing as he would with the stepping horizon. As the somewhat slower that before swing took place, Judau surged his chackra through his arms, turning the blade into a gray blur as it made a sharp, loud noise cutting the air. judau almost went along with the blade, the giantic surge in momentum being a bit much to him. But he felt he was almost over with these episodes of the blade throwing him around.
[Fuu no Odachi - Two-Handed Finesse: Adjustability 1/2] As he trained all these techniques, Judau noticed that he was pretty much a sitting duck as he made powerfull attacks with little chance to dodge in a normal manner. Atempting to jump sideways was a dream as of now, much less over the opoenent and even rolling could proove problematic. The Odachi required a diferent way to handle things... Longer, more roundabout movements. Sidesteping was a good way to go, but just moving aside with both feet didn't feel fast enough... Not to mention, he would most likely be in the stance he has been adopting thus far to utilize the blade, with his left foot a long step behind the right one. So it would start by entering that position. The adjutment was ecoming simpler and simpler to that position, almost like a second nature. It was a stance that called the oponent to try and attack his 'open' right arm and back, but to do so, one would have to pass through the giantic reach of a blade.
[Fuu no Odachi - Two-Handed Finesse: Adjustability 2/2] The position left little in the ways of sudden movement, much less with position to retaliate. Perhaps the secret was within the footing... Judau's legs were being vital in most techniques thus far, at least as balance went, so maybe the ideal was not sudden movement, but controled one. Imagining a thug coming his way, Judau raised his right foot and spun on his left foot's axis, allowing the Odachi to lift itself as he did so, finally fimly planting his foot on the ground behind the left one and letting off a powerfull strike at the passing target. The movement seemed roundabout, but Judau could tell that ir was surprizingly fast for a dodge in melee, specially one with a blade as large as that one limiting his movement. Still, one was not enough, Judau would have to continue atempting variations of that movement over and over if he wanted to trully master this type of evasion. Ten minutes would pass before he felt confortable with this training... And tired enough to stop training for now. After he was done, he would sit and relax, probably watch the lights outside as his muscles ached.
The clone sat down against the wall of the dojo resting a bit, putting his elbows rested against his knees that were propped up. Then putting his hands on the sides of his face relaxing some. "It seems your learning fairly quick." The clone couldn't help but sense the shared chakra pool being quickly drained. "That fight... it must be getting pretty intense. Already feel at about half chakra." Sitting back with a sigh and leaning his head against the wall for a moment, Continuing to watch the student train.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this?
[Shunkan no Hagane - Basic Chop 1/1] Well, it seems nothing too interesting was going on exept for Kyo's comment on the spar going on with the mizukage. Half chackra? Sounded rather vicious, even for an all-out spar. Still, what good was knowing about this kind of thing? The battle was not over yet with those two. Even if Judau liked Kyosata, his bets were on the kage, but no need to comment on that, was there? Time to practice the basics now, wasn't it? With the Nodachi sealthed, continuing to use it would be rather tiresome, so instead, Judau pulled out his wakizashi. A rather short blade, all things concidered, but longer that the tanto and fitted right in with the Shunkan no Hagane style, not quite as well as a katana would but those things were not all that needed anyway. The stance now had Judau's feet almost perfectly aligned, if very little in diference towards the right leg, that was halfway a step in front of the left. This style, diferently from the Fuu no Odachi, was made pratically of quick, solid moves instead of pure power, requiring a bit more accuracy to deal significant damage. An overhead strilke... Easy enough, Judau already went over 3 or four variations of this from the moment he entered the dojo. [Shunkan no Hagane - Backward Step 1/1] Another thing that was in focus in the Shunkan no Hagane style was subtle movement and positioning. Two 'techniques' were little more that training over how to quickly move foward or backwards without leaving too many openings. The backward version was mostly used to lure enemies in or dodge a strike by going out of it's reach. Such simple motion was fundamental as it not only allowed counterattacks to be more easely set, but also dictate the flow of battle even when playing defensively. A lot of battles were defined by a single mistake and this training would help making sure it didn't come from something as simple as the feet.
[Shunkan no Hagane - Foward Step 1/1] But even if important, both these 'step' techniques were hella boring to go over. Not that Judau had much of a choice when he asked help from Sana at this. Hours upon hours of just going back and forth were ingraved in his mind in a rather regretable decision... But it also meant that he didn't need to spend all those hours of going back and forth NOW that he was actually learning combat techniques. Hell, it was almost too simple now that he tought about it. Never give a step longer that half your reach unless your oponent can't retaliate, aways favor your non-dominant leg so you have your swing ready on the next step and all that... Those were simple days. A single step, and a slash, the speed and impact from the sword being surprinzingly augmented by that motion alone marked the reminecence to an end. Time to close the book of basics with one last technique.
[Shunkan no Hagane - Basic Stab 1/1] This one was a b***h. Stabbing was a simple movement, nothing too special about it. 'Blade goes in, blade refuses to get out without a violent tug for some goddam reason'. The real training was making as much damage as possible without having your sword getting stuck in your oponent too long unless doing so was your objective. For the upper body around the thorax, one would needto keep their blade at an angle to advoid the bone from both blocking the attack and holding the blade back for quick retrival. The midsection was more prone to be hit with a perfectly vertical blade. When pulling out, try to push the blade down at the same time to increase the cut and make the way back easier at the same time. Hitting any other place was rather rare, but had their methods all by themselves. Feet, arms, head... So many ways to do such a basic motion and all of them should be learned. Judau only remembered a handfull, but that handfull was the most important anyway.
The next four techniques could technically be learned alone, but all were purelly defensive techniques and one actively would need a partner... The Uchiha was gone, Takahata was busy with his throwing and Selene was nowhere around. Well, Kyo was the best option from the start sure, but maybe a bit TOO good. Still, not much of a choice. As long as Judau didn't do too badly, it shouldn't matter. Turning towards the resting jonin, Judau picked up two bokkens. Giving back Kyo his odachi to utilize during this training was an option, but that blade might be too much to go against, even if he had a way to dull it... And usig up chackra to make water swords seemed a bit of a waste. "Hey, Kyo... I need to go over a few defensive techniques and i think i'l need a partner. Up for it?"
((OOC: Eh, forgot to add the link to basic bblock back at the academy. Will search for it soon. Edit: Ugh... Screw autoformating without my concent. a** to fix, it is. On the bright side, still one-posting everything until C rank rolls around. Woo!))
Kyo stood up after a moment and dusted off his pants. "More than ready, Just tell me what you want me to do. I'll try to hold back to more suit what your learning." Kyo smirked some while adjusting his glasses tighter onto his face."Defensive techniques can be quiet useful, I'll see how you do and see if there might be anything I can teach you to support it." Cracking his neck a bit before they began. "

Although it seems idiotically fundamental, this is an extremely important step towards becoming a seasoned great-swordsman. Finding proper handling allows the practitioner to swing their weapon with more accuracy and power, while creating as little opening as possible in their own defenses.
Two-Handed Finesse: Adjustability Description: The practitioner should now have an understanding of some of the basic footwork of Fuu no Odachi, and is beginning to comprehend the necessity of strong steps in addition to strong attacks. However, these steps must be used in more ways than simple offenses. One cannot survive if all they can do is hope to keep their opponent at bay. This training is meant as a means for the practitioner to develop their own method of side-stepping and other such evasive maneuvers, while still swinging around their weapons.
Two-Handed Finesse: Dominance Description: The practitioner has, at this point, become so involved with his/her training that they have not even realized how big a difference has developed since the first time they picked up their weapon. With a little bit of adaption, they will now be able to wield their weapon with one hand, and be capable of performing almost every technique within this style thusly. ( Unless the technique specifies the need for both hands. )
Two-Handed Finesse: Expertise Description: The practitioner will continue their efforts in one-handing weapons that are traditionally usable only with both hands. By again performing the techniques of Fuu no Odachi while using one hand, he/she should now realize that the power driven out as such is comparable to that of their previous two-handed state. From this point onward, the act of using both hands with their weapon is no longer a necessity, but a way to greatly increase the strength of their abilities.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this?
[Shunkan no Hagane - Pivot Block 0.5/1] Judau was thankfull that Kyo's clone was willing to help with this. If he didn't, Judau would probably still be able to go through with it, but nothing better that live testing. "Well, there are five techniques to go over, but i'm confident i already learned one of them. You can find them on the scroll over there, but i'm sure there won't be too much need for you to read about them. First off is a pivot, i'l be trying to block your attack while spining around you to set myself up in a position to counterattack. Come however you want, it'l be pointles if i know how the attack will go. Judau then threw the wooden sword to Kyo before setting himself in position. As long as the Jonin didn't use his boulder crushing strength, Judau could probably handle it... He hoped.
Chakra 310/320 Current weapon/hand: (Wooden Bokken - Dual grip [Left dominant]) Technique:
(Shadow clone) Kyo took a stance with a bit of a smirk on his face. "No worries, i'll try to keep it spontaneous." He had to make sure that he held back a great portion of his strength. With about thirty percent of his strength he took a slight jog and jumped towards Judau making a kick towards him. Figuring that a strait forward attack would be a good means to help him in his training. Especially with the type of move he was attempting to learn.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this? I'm a Genin From Kirigakure of the Kenjutsu Class that Enchants.
[Shunkan no Hagane - Pivot Block - Completed] [Shunkan no Hagane - Foward Grind 0.5/1] This was going well enough now to prepare for whatever the Jonin would throw Judau's way. Simple enough, block and spin... Wait, why a flying kick!? Kyo was much faster that Judau was, even with a move as paragraphed as that one, it was a close call. The kick connected with a well placed block and pushed Judau back a bit before the Genin tranfered the momentum and sidesteped a what WOULD be a overbalanced oponent ready to be struck... But even holding back to a third of his power, Kyosata was still twice as strong as Judau and the Genin ended up off balance, but still well enough to atempt a strike should this be a real battle. "Got my hand a bit, but i'm good to continue. Next up, it's a way to try and pin your oponent's sword. Once that's done, just come as you please and i'l practice two other techniques to deflect you."
Chakra: 320/320 AC/Ryo: 0/500 Current weapon/hand:( Wooden Sword - Both - Left Dominant) Technique: None or Training

As the original Bui entered the dojo he felt a small bit of knowledge enter his mind. Selene was fast, and very angry, and heading toward him. He paid this no mind. He walked toward a cabinet filled with weights to begin training his speed and reflexes. He tied weights around his ankles and wrists and simply began to jog around the dojo in circle doing laps around the massive room.
[1/5 speed training]
After several laps Bui began to pant but picked up the speed of his jog. The sweat poured down his face stinging his eyes as he attempted to wipe it away from his face with his forearm rubbing the sweat even more in his eyes. The sting was good it kept him alert as he continued his run.
[2/5 speed training]
After several laps he removed the weights from his ankle noticing a slight improvement in his speed as he jogged around the dojo, it wans't much but not what he wanted. He did a few laps with just the weight on his wrists, then returned to the discarded weights and placed them back on his ankles.
[3/5 Speed training]
Once more Bui picked up the pace of his jog sprinting with the weights on his ankles. Feeling the burn in his calves and thighs he began to pant with effort as he legs felt heavier and heavier with each step. He knew the sensei that was enraged was going to come here since he had made her mad but it was of little consequence the worst she could do would be scold him.
[4/5 speed training]
Finally Bui removed all of the weights from him and began to punch at the air, slightly faster than he had been able to before and began to sprint once more whilst puching at the air. He had become slightly faster but he knew that this was nothing compared to the speed that his Sensei had. Bui stopped jogging and continued at a slow jog around the room before slowing to a walk then finally stopping. He picked a towel off a nearby rack and wiped his face and arms with it removing the sweat from his body. After doing so he simply stood there and waited for his Sensei to appear.
Selene followed right after Bui, sitting in the shadows of the room she watched Bui do his little training. Pulling out a scroll from her holster on her hip she made the summoning seal onto the paper using a drop of her blood she wiped it across the paper and slapped her hands down onto the paper bringing forth a great friend of hers. Smiling she looked over at where Bui was and motioned with her eyes that he was the one and only reason that her friend had been summoned. Konpeki was a beautiful black fox sized dog who loved shadows. She walked into the room now looking over Bui. "See you are trying to get speed, good at least you are learning something. Since like you said you didn't learn anything from me." She then cracked her knuckles then looked to Konpeki who had now just stepped from the shadows. "Now a fair warning if you have not been told, I do not take well to rude people and a little genin like you being rude to someone like me could end with you eating dirt. Or in other words buried over ten feet deep." She then shook her head. "I'm not one to beat up students but mind your manners." She then sighed turning away from the genin.
Konpeki stood next to Selene watching Bui waiting for him to say one word to upset Selene again and he was going to tackle the guy to the ground. He looked to Selene who was trying to keep from spazzing out on this genin. He knew that she wasn't much for murder but she had her anger that always seemed to over rule her thoughts.
