If there was one thing that Atsuma was getting wrong about Luka was that his rage blinded him. His most deadly state was when he was being fueled by his anger. One foot shifted forward and Luka's arms were brought up to his face. Instead of transcribing his punch he shot it forth at the elbow, using the Wing Chun's method of striking. His first hit would aim for Atsuma's face. Luka did not like mocking smirks. His second strike would aim for Atsuma's ribs. There would be no pause, merely a large man advancing and constantly striking. Perhaps Atsuma would now see that Luka was not a mere savage who threw around his strength. Or maybe it would take even more. Luka had plenty of moves in his arsenal to use. But the game had changed already. He was aware that Atsuma did not actually mean business. This would mean that if Luka killed him Elizabeth would probably disembowel him. Again. So instead of moving at his maximum speed and striking with all of his power he slowed himself down purposefully.

Jutsu Used
• Forward Flurry Push - Rank: D This is the real first combination of attacks that the user will begin to use. After dodging/blocking/redirecting an attack, they will step in close to their enemy and begin a furious assault of attacks. Because Wing Chun users punches are from the elbows it is generally hard for an enemy to react. This is the first time the user will use a 'Flurry' combo. Each attack will flow into the next, meaning there is no pause.
Atsuma had already learned what he needed from Luka. Initiating into Stone Body was really all that mattered, but now he had to make amends with the man whom he mocked and felt terribly sorry about. Before he could say anything however Atsuma was meant with a barrage of elbows much slower than before. It was clear to him that the Jashinist was going easy on him. His speed trumphed Atsuma completely and his bones were not tough enough yet to not rely on it. He needed more speed. "Ah, so that's it.." He mumbled to himself right before the first elbow almost made contact with his bloody face. His body vanished only to reappear kneeled next to a lonely flower a few feet away. Atsuma had used one of his clan's techniques. The "Flash Step". The boy got back on his feet with a troubled expression. "I apologize for mocking your God. I have no right to judge others for their beliefs or life style. I just needed you to roughen me up a little so I could initiate Stone Body." Getting closer Atsuma put his right palm together with his left fist and bowed. "Thank you Senpai." Whether or not the man accepted the apology or not wasn't in Atsuma's power, but if he did decide to proceed with violence Atsuma would have no other choice, but to fight. Regardless of the fact that Luka outmactched him in speed.

Before his fists could make satisfying contact Luka's target disappeared in a flash. He blinked his eyes to clear the spots and rapidly turned, his keen senses letting him keep a lock on the boy. Luka was still in his stance; fists raised and legs slightly spread. He was still in battle mode, ready for the retaliation. But instead of a surprise attack he found Atsuma bowing at him. Luka's chest rose and fell for a moment, the only sound after the boy had spoken. It took a moment but Luka managed to calm himself down. He was right in a way. Atsuma did not know the one true god that is Jashin. He was just another blasphemer, quick to slander the name of Luka's lord. But at least he had the decency to apologize. Luka ran a hand through his hair and gestured as he spoke. "I will allow your words to slide this once. Mock my god again, and you will get the chance to really see if he's real or not." Threats were like a second language to Luka, but he would always follow through. But something Atsuma had done intrigued Luka. The boy had not formed a single set of seals yet had managed to disappear before his eyes. That was something Luka would like to know. The advantage that could give on the battlefield would be very powerful. He could deliver blows from all sides of an opponent within the blink of an eye. "How did you do that? The flashing away? I have not seen something like that before." A vague memory danced in his mind. Wasn't the old kage called the Goddess of Flash? He knew she had been a warrior like none other; faster than light and had a punch that could shake the world. Or at least that's how the stories went.

Things turned out to be okay for the moment to Atsuma's delight. The Jashinist accepted his apology even if half heartedly. The fact of the matter was Atsuma knew better than to toy with the emotions of others for his own personal gain. "I can assure you that your God will never be mocked by these lips again." He said looking up at the moon watching over the two. The symbol of their village and Atsuma's clan. The Shihoin had taken the boy in ever since they found him barely breathing surrounded by the blood of the wicked. "I am from the Shihoin Clan. What you just saw was my Flash Step." Atsuma said humbly. "We have taken the concept of the Body Flicker technique and enhanced it to what you just saw. People weren't generally interested in his Clan techniques due to how boring they looked. Most of the techniques revolved around amplifying body parts with chakra for special effects. He kept his kekkei genkai hidden most of the time because it scared little children whenever they saw his bones extend. "But either way this Flash Step only gives me momentary speed. I need to become faster even if by a little." His fight was Luka was eye opening indeed. Here Atsuma thought of himself as one above arrogance, but that was clearly no the case. He was still naive and pushed his luck.

Luka nodded and grunted in approval of Atsuma's declaration. If only more people would be like that. There would have been a fifty percent decrease in Luka's killing spree over his life. Most of the cases had been due to an insult to his god. Well, Luka often fudged that number a bit. If anyone did not praise his god, they were against him. So he had a lot of room to work with. He listened with a sudden excitement to Atsuma's clan. This sounded absolutely wonderful indeed! Amplifying certain body parts, increasing the output of them with chakra. Luka barely used his energy source in a battle, but that was something he could definitely get down with. Perhaps one day he would look further into this. "Your clansmen must be very formidable." Luka said, almost wishing Atsuma would ask about his own clan. Most people had not even heard of Lord Jashin and his way before the Jaeger family came. Their clan was very small and mostly scattered. There was no organization. You could be born a Jashinist or accepted into the Lord's graces whenever you gave yourself to him. A lot of the general populace did not understand what their true power was, or even what they could do. It was only recently that Luka had learned himself what he was capable of. And it was something he had yet to use in battle. He was saving it for a truly worthy sacrifice. With that in mind, Luka got the sudden bug to go off on a mission of some sorts. It had been too long since his last sacrifice.

Atsuma was quite surprised in Luka's sudden interest in his clan. It seemed as if the man had truly calmed down after the insults of an arrogant genin. Luka was quite interesting himself. Not only his height, but his clan had a certain mystery around itself. Atsuma only knew about their alleged immortality and even that was just from word of mouth. "My Clansmen are very formidable indeed. I am in their eternal debt for taking me in as one of their own..." Atsuma reffered to the day his new life started. They could have easily ignored the boy and left him to die like all the others. He'd make sure to show the world the power of his clan. "But if I may say so myself. Your clan is very interesting indeed. I can never find texts about your people and I cannot trust the words of teachers with prejudice." He said all of this while thinking back to his time in the academy. It was as if Jashinism was hidden on purpose. "But with that in mind I have a question which i've always wanted to know. Is it true you have been blessed with immortality?" Atsuma used the word "blessed" to please Luka. The man was very defensive of his God it wouldn't be wise to test his patience twice.

Luka was not at all surprised to hear that Atsuma was not born in his clan. A lot of these groups willingly accepted people who offered to dedicate themselves fully. With more members there was a higher chance of someone becoming great and bringing fame and glory to the clan. Jashinists were no different in that regard. All were welcome to praise the one true Lord, although they had to give up their ties to the world. The rites and rituals were dark secrets and were done for life. The only way out of Jashinism was through falling out of favor with Jashin. Luka did not want to reveal their powers, but it would only be fair to Atsuma. "Yes, I am immortal. Though it is not so much a blessing as it is something you have to earn. Lord Jashin demands sacrifices. One would gain favor with my Lord through battle and death. In this way we are granted this immortality so that we may continue to sacrifice to Jashin. Fall out of favor through unworthy deeds or sacrifices then Jashin will see that you fall in battle. I bleed just as you do, but it does not hinder me. Pain, hunger, weariness; I feel these but they do not bother me. I could choose to not eat for weeks and live. Though my body would become frail. I can lose my heart and live, though soon after my body would be unable to function. The only difference is even when my body is nothing I live on." Luka finished, feeling like he had given one of his father's sermons on the dark Lord. Atsuma would notice that Luka did indeed have all his limbs and was in very good shape. There was hardly an ounce of fat on him and he was sculpted like a piece of art. Luka understood that Jashin had crafted this vessel for him, and it was wrong to defile the Lord's creations. He did not partake in any body nor mind altering substances for that very purpose. In a sense Luka was very pure.

A faint smile
Yo, I don't wanna hold your character up. I've been really tired recently and I just can't rp and if I do it's gonna be alone and slow as fuuuuuuck. Sorry to waste your time TT^TT
Atsuma wished he could talk to Luka more about Jashinism, but had just remembered about somewhere else he had to be. "I'm so sorry, but I must be on my way now." With a bow Atsuma picked up his three scrolls and walked away in a hurry.
I See Flowers Wither.
Speed: 1/2 Strength: 1 1/2 Perception: 1/2 Toughness: 1/2 Melee Master: 1 1/2 20% chakra decrease for Clan techniques.
It had been a while since Ryū had found such a peaceful place, somewhere he could chill and not be disturbed by anything or anyone, he wasn't a nature freak, all he wanted was a place free his mind from all the problems, course he could do that training but that could prove to rather stressing for him so he would rather just go tot he gardens.
Standing under a tree and feeling the breeze, peace within. Ryū had a bloody dark past that he wished to forget but he could not, only a few people knew what had occurred with him but he was not even sure if they were still alive, the only thing he was sure of right now was that he was the last of his Bloodline, the Shinzo, Ryu was sure that he was not just that, the experiments that had been done to him gave him other powers, powers that he promised himself that would be used for good.
Atsuma had never met Ryu within the facility that held the two captive. Atsuma spent his entire life there while Ryu spent only a short while, but he knew that Ryu went through more pain than Atsuma ever did through out the years. After they were rescued by the village Atsuma had been given a loving family that cared about him dearly. The same wouldn't go for Ryu with his PTSD and loss of control. Atsuma tried to help Ryu whenever he could even inviting him to join the Shihoin Clan. Ryu wasn't one to take charity though and Atsuma respected that. "Atsuma, what is that chakra I sense?" Joy asked curiously. Atsuma could sense it too with his Insight Rain ability. They were approaching Ryu. "That...Is my friend, Joy." Atsuma said out loud to the spirit within him. "Why are you friends with something like THAT?!" She asked confused. Atsuma was the most positive man in Tsuki. Now he was saying that his friend had a malevolent aura so powerful she could sense it. "Joy, me and Ryu are both the same. I know it may be hard to believe, but we are both brothers born from the malice of this world." Joy didn't quite understand, but if Atsuma was so confident in the boy she trusted him.
Ryū had been lost in his memories, the good ones. His childhood had been a normal one, a good one until everything changed when he was sent to the facility, his time there had been hard, half the time he was blacked out the other half he was being tortured, Ryū had always been separate from the other children. Ryū had his concentration broken once he heard a voice, it was an old friend from the facility but he had much more luck than Ryū had, Atsuma was able to get a family after they were rescued, Ryū didn't because of personal problems.
"Yo! Calm place, right?" Ryū responded looking at the horizon, he knew Atsuma was the most chilled guy he ever met in his life and that he also probably enjoyed the Lunar Gardens as much as he did himself, Ryū also knew that he had become an accomplished ninja and that was also one of Ryū's objectives right now.
The Gardens were very special to Atsuma. There were many through out the entire village, but the one they were in wasn't his favorite. It was a very relaxing place to go to though. "So how've you been Ryu?" Atsuma asked joining the fellow gennin in his horizon gaze while not answering his question. After their graduation, Atsuma had entered a sort of vegetable state where he mostly slept or observed flowers all day. The fear of becoming an actual ninja was very real and he couldn't handle it. Now people from the village were starting to recognize him. He assumed the same thing had happened to Ryu after graduation. "I have some missions that I can't do alone. I need some extra muscle to make things go quicker. Are you interested?" Atsuma asked pulling down his vest to reveal his left arm. A little white thing poked out from his left shoulder and it slowly seeped out from his skin until he finally grabbed hold of it and pulled it out in one clean swing. He threw it towards Ryu expecting the guy to catch it. "You still good with a sword?" The white thing was Atsuma's right arm that had been changed into a sharp, steel like sword. It was one of the Kaguya basics.
"Same old, same old... Much better than that hell hole we were in" Ryū said with a faint smile while still gazing into the horizon like there was something epic going on. "So hows life treating ya these days!?" He would ask turning towards his old friend, but not because he was asking his own question but because of the question that was thrown at him, if he wanted to join some missions, course he wanted. It seemed like Atsuma already knew what his answer would be. Watching Atsuma take out one of his own bones was nothing new to Ryū but still intriguing anyway, as the bone sword was thrown towards Ryū he would grab it at where the hilt would be and swirl the sword around like it was already part of his own body. "Good balance... And sure I'll join you!" This could help him gain his own sort of fame other than the angry kid.
