Welcome to Gaia! ::

((The name, he doesn't know. Just saying who I was refering to. As for 'seeing', Chakra Manipulation, seeing your chakra))

Yamatano wandered into the familiar waterfalls, a million questions running through his mind. What was the third exam going to be? Who had passed? Who had not passed? How had Kaizen been able to force chakra through his katana like that, and where was Kanzuki? They flowed through his mind like the water down the waterfall, a constant flow of wondering.

Yamatano shook the thoughts out of his head, however, for his purpose was not to wonder, but to train. Opening up his pouch on his left hip full of small bombs, Yamatano pulled out a mid sized scroll given to him by the Mizukage. Written upon the scroll were the secrets of his chosen style of taijutsu, the Way of the Silent Blade.

Amazed, Yamatano began reading over the scroll, seeing the primary focus of this style: Accuracy for the silent kill. It dawned on Yamatano that if he went down this path, and if he became a Kirigakure Oinin, then his life would mean but one thing: The end of other lives. Though he still shook at the concept of being the walking personification of death itself, Yamatano was not easily strayed. He would take the calling of an Oinin and embrace it. Snapping out of his inner monologue, Yamatano built the necessary chakra to form a Mizu Bunshin from the pond of water which served as the basin for the waterfall to practice on.

Leaving the Bunshin alone for the moment, Yamatano paused to reread the entire scroll once more, and pay close attention to the diagram of the human body. The scroll was fascinating, containing pressure points along the entire human body that could paralyze muscles, crippling, and even places on the body where one could strike for an instant kill, the forte of the Oinin. More than anything, Yamatano set down to memorizing the vital points of the human body. Oinin were revered for their knowledge of anatomy that rivaled even medics, the reason for their ability to kill instantly. This reading and studying took place for about 3 hours until Yamatano decided to do field training.

Yamatano stood up, cracking his knuckles as he turned to face his clone, prepared to show what he had learned from the scroll. He and the clone stood facing each other, eye to eye, neither one of them moving to see how the other would react. Finally, Yamatano burst forward first, stopping short and sidestepping to the left, aiming a two fingered jab at his clones right arm, temporarily disabling it. The clone tried to swing around, but couldn’t understand why its arm was out of commission. It didn’t have time to condider though, as Yamatano landed an open handed chop on the side of its neck and hopped backward, pulling out several Kunai.

The clone barely managed to dodge the first knife, thrown straight for it’s left eye as it bounced of a rock and into the waterfall basin. Kunai after Kunai, senbon after senbon, shuriken after shuriken whizzed through the air toward the clone, all aiming at vital spots, and all possible hits on a non moving clone. Despite all this, however, the objects were coming closer and closer, becoming harder to avoid each time. Finally, after dodging a pair of Kunai aimed for its abdomen, the clone felt a sharp sting, then another, and another, and another as it finally dissapaited into water. The four senbon, which had hit the kidney, heart, lung, and jugular, all fell to the ground as well with small clinks.

“Hmph.” Yamatano remarked as he formed a new water clone from the remains of the old one, though he almost didn’t want to waste the chakra. This clone would be gone in less than a minute. With the speed that gives the Hatakes so much fame, Yamatano dashed toward the clone before it even knew what was happening. Yamatano aimed his strikes carefully at the many pressure points riddled across the human body, his mind going over the scroll and matching them to his clone’s form. Starting from the lower body, Yamatano struck hard with open palm strikes at his clones kidney, between the ribcage, pectoral muscle, neck, and between its eyes, causing internal damage and making the clone disappear. The whole process took twenty-five seconds.

Yamatano yawned to himself and leaned against a rock, inwardly pleased at how far he had come. The next exams could come whenever they wanted. Yamatano Hatake, White Fang of Kirigakure, would be ready.
