"Oh!" Aaliyah exclaimed popping up from the ground and onto her feet still holding Kohana's hand. "That's because I picked my name myself! I really liked the way it sounded and all." Aaliyah's attention shifted towards Kohana's eyes as she drew attention to their unique gold color. Moving in so close to almost have their faces touching Aaliyah studied them their absorbing pattern. "Kinmukugan? So does that mean you have special eyes or somethin?" Moving from side to side like the girl was some kind of live painting Aaliyah tittered. "They're really rather beautiful.. Oh that reminds me!" Letting go of Kohana's hands in her moment of clarity Aaliyah remembered why she gone hunting for people in the first place. "Do you happen to have a group already? You know like a genin squad!? Cause I just happened to be looking for peeps to make one with me and you seem like a lot of fun! I know I just meet you and all, so I'm just some stranger and I mean it will be just us as of right now cause I need to find someone else and then we gotta hunt down a jounin who seem to be more rare than a basket full of soup, but that just means you'll be my number one! My right hand, my aide-de-camp, my best friend, and it will be great cause we're like both from outside the village so we already have so much in common so please say yes!?!" During this time Aaliyah had been progressively stepping towards Kohana, closing the distance between them until she was once again practically in in face. Looking to Kohana for her answer Aaliyah let out a deep breath after rambling that entire monologue without so much as a pause.
Aaliyah picked her own name? Kohana couldn't imagine ever changing hers, but that was more because it was all she had of her mom than any genuine, personal attraction to it. Hell, she'd probably pick Aaliyah herself! Kohana waggled her eyebrows at the mention of special eyes. "Yes! My eyes can follow focus points, which lets me see different points of view." She shook her head no at Aaliyah's question of being in a group.
"That sounds great! Yes! ... Are we trained enough to seek out a Jounin?" She wanted to be a group with Aaliyah more than anything! It would be so fun! She just didn't want to be underprepared. For all she knew, Aaliyah could be on the brink of chuunin-ship.
She pressed the back of her teeth with her tongue as she thought. "Um, do you want to go on a mission with me? I haven't done one before but..." She tugged on the bottom of her dress and smiled sheepishly. She really needed some ryo for a better bow. Plus, if she had a few missions under her belt, maybe she could convince a jounin to take them under their wing.
Aaliyah bounced excitedly up and down hearing Kohana's acceptance into her group. "Oh psh I don't know but it's not like I'm gonna let that stop me! Besides it's their job right? Like hell I'm gonna let MY potential sensei weasel out his duties like that the lazy b*****d!" Aaliyah punctured the end of her sentence with a jabbed finger in the air, much like she was already scolding her non existent mentor already.
Hearing Kohana's suggestion reminded Aaliyah of a few papers that she had stolen off the kage's desk when she had gone to get her headband. Nothing too important just a couple things that head caught her eye. "Oh that would be awesome actually! It will be our very first ninja missionohmygoshkohana!" Letting out a little squeal Aaliyah pulled Kohana in and hugged her tightly. "This is gonna be so much fun! I actually got couple missions I was going to do if you wanted to join in with me?" Unfurling the two papers so that Kohana could be able to read them Aaliyah continued. "Alright so this is my master plan! The hot springs have a few anbu stationed around them keeping watching over peeping toms you know? Well I figure we go in under the pretense that we are there to clean them out and if anyone asks questions, which they won't because we are both girls anyway, we can show them these mission papers . When of course in reality we'll be sneaking some risque photos for the big bucks and then BOOM two birds one stone we walk away with money in pocket."
Giving Kohana the papers to hold Aaliyah fished out a tiny little piece of scrolls that was ripped off and stuffed between two books she had found. Preforming the hand seals written on the paper as instructed Aaliyah molded her chakra around her appearance in much the same way as a normal transformation jutsu only with much more.. inciting results. Oiroke no Jutsu [ Sexy Technique ] learned. Aaliyah smiled at her natural success, choosing to keep it secret that this was her first time performing the jutsu. "You should know that I also have another motive for this. If it's possible I want to sneak into the boys side just for uhhh.. you know science." Cuddling up to Kohana Aaliyah winked at her. "So what do you think sweetstuff? Think I can bluff my way into the men's locker room with this?"

Kohana giggled at the outrage Aaliyah showed towards a future sensei and leaned in as the other genin began to speak in a blur out of excitement. Kohana caught every other word but hung on nevertheless. A hot spring mission sounded fun - and it would be great on her muscles. She accepts the mission in her head before the spiel is finished. Aaliyah hands her some papers as she fishes out a smaller one, making a few hand seals and suddenly changing form. "Woah!" She said at the new look... a mostly naked man.
"That's... definitely a magic trick," she says instead of answering the question about bluffing into the lockerroom. Kohana grabs the slip of paper from the other's hand and looks at it, notices the series of three hand seals and cocks a brow. She shuffles the papers over to the male-Aaliyah's arms and then uses her newly-freed hands to make the seals. She summoned her chakra from her core and spread it out as evenly a possible, imagining a male form. A poof covers her body until her new one takes over. She chuckles to herself as she looks down at her new look. "So, uh, I guess we're ready for those springs, huh?" She released the technique and took back her own body, cracking her neck and then winking at the male Aaliyah. "Let's go make our future sensei proud, eh?" She laughed mischievously at the mental image of taking pervy pictures.
Aaliyah stuck her tongue out with devilish delight as her eyes light up watching Kohana transform into her own male form. "Oo I gotta say I'm a fan of your work." Aaliyah gave one last appreciating glance to take in her new form before she twirled around and started to charge out the door. "To the hot springs it is then! By the way the mission didn't give any details as to gender the pictures had to be so better take as many as you can of both just to be safe!" Aaliyah shouted behind her while running out the hallway through the exit without waiting to see if Kohana was actually keeping up.
She flushed at the compliment, pleased at how attractive her male body was but also feeling suddenly very exposed. She was glad to be back in her clothed body, although she felt like she would miss her classmate's attention. Then she jogged after Aaliyah to the hot springs, excited to get into her first set of genin shenanigans. "Pictures of everyone there it is!" She was chipper as she followed behind Aaliyah like a loyal dog, struggling to match the pace of her classmate but enthusiastic nonetheless.
Kohana put her hands together and made the dog symbol. She channeled her chakra from her core to her hands, positioning them to make it appear like she was holding a globe. Her chakra became a sphere of wind in her hands, which she then placed down and sat on. She crossed her legs on the ball of wind and did her best to keep her balance as she leaned forward. She blasted across the room, riding up the walls of the academy and doing crazy circles whenever she felt brave enough to attempt it. [ Wind Riding technique learned ]
She looked around as the wind ball dispersed. Since the dojo was empty, she figured it was as good a time as any to try this. She put her hands out around her as if steadying herself on a tightrope. She closed her eyes and controlled her chakra as best as she could to manipulate the air. She lowered the air pressure slowly. A pain developed at her temple and worsened as she held the technique; eventually, she leased the technique. [ Low air pressure technique learned ]
Kohana opened the academy door and checked around. When she was sure no one was in sight, she prepared for this technique. She practiced her breathing. Once she performed her hand signs correctly, she breathed in as deep as possible.
She closed her eyes and focused on the chakra and air in her lungs. When she was ready, she blew it all out as a projectile. The air projectile went flying forward until it made contact with a tree a hundred yards away, cutting it up in a whirlwind. The trunk was split in seconds, pieces of bark flying in every which direction. In mere moments, all evidence of the tree disappeared. [ Pressure damage learned 2/2 ]
ooc: Training post with plenty of information! Thus, her return to a place of many meetings and all-around sessions of learning: The academy. Through its doors, passing through its main rooms, and retracing her steps to the find a set of specific information. A change of pace and returning to basics was a would be a refreshing change from puppetry. Her interest was little in those who may be frolicing about and sought a reserved demeanor until the act of learning would be complete.
Upon discovery of the proper, numerous, shelves of knowledge Sadayo would go to collect a scroll listing non-elemental jutsu with the first ability she wants to learn fresh in her mind: the body flicker technique. The steadfast kunoichi was quick to find her choice in the scroll and began to read. The text describes how the user will disappear and appear in an instant. Use of the jutsu is supposed to grant some sort of vibe before its use, like a warning, to those near that something will happen. [1/2]
Sadayo goes to stand beside a target dummy to give the flicker technique a test. Her goal is to eappear on the other side of the room. Sadayo rolls up the borrowed scroll, holds it in place under her arm, and performs the seal. She experiences the blur of instant travel and manages to reappear a couple steps from the her intended spot. [2/2] Shunshin no Jutsu [ Body Flicker Technique |Rank: D]
Listed was the instruction to create a form of sealing. Other than taking the time to duplicate the shapes, swirls, and squiggles which make up the seal, there wasn't a better way to learn the process. Sadayo borrowed a nearby brush, ink , and allowed her eyes to follow the curves and swirls for memory. Her hand began to gradually follow the components of the seal onto the surface of a blank scroll. With an understanding of the basics of Kaifū no Jutsu, Sadayo could able to store small ammunition and assorted sharp-pointy things in her puppets. {1/1 Rank E; Kaifū no Jutsu | Unsealing Technique }
Likewise, study of Kaifū no Jutsu's "sister" technique followed on a with the borrowed brush and ink. Fūnyū is apart of Kaifū and essential to fully grasp the know-how to produce seals for storing specific items or ninjutsu. Upon the same scroll, Sadayo would replicate a segment below the previous markings for the makeup of Fūnyū. For a successful grasp of the workings of the seal, Sadayo was careful to follow the instructions. The two seals, on the scroll's surface, would make one uniform shape with an empty space reserved for future items. Now, this useful seal was apart of her metaphorical toolbox of knowledge.

The know-how to seal projectiles would actually permit the aspiring puppeteer to carry an assortment of goodies. Anything small, easily portable, and in larger quantities in comparison to what she may be able to carry in a bag. A supply bag could only hold so many senbon, kunai, odd shuriken, or the unusual choice of a pepper-filled egg. Again, to learn was a matter of memorizing the pattern to print. [1/2]
Sadayo had the knowledge all ready to at least comprehend what she would be working with in order to learn the seal. To complete and make the actual seal truly official, not only would the markings be accurate, Sadayo would have to apply chakra beforehand. Thankfully, this run through with a brush and paper was only a practice. Later use would call for her choice of small weapons and chakra to create the forcing throw, maybe.

She had a sealing item mind. Sadayo sought the information for sealing natural elements whether they be buckets of desert sand or gallons of water. A slip of paper would suffice for another seal study. Time was invested in the observation of the images she would have to recreate before adding her chakra and the desired element. Feeling ready, with her carefully prepared ink drawing, Sadayo went outside to collect a handful of sand. [1/2]
The paper was held between her lips and her palms were cradling a handful of sand which she was determined not to spill. She would pause and stop to kneel on the floor to work there with little issue. Her practice seal was ready and the handful was deposited on the image's center. She would apply her chakra. The sand was seemingly sucked into the paper which Sadayo then wrote in the word 'sand'. Her practice seal was emptied shortly after, outside, and then torn with must gusto.

A basic technique that covers manipulation of forms of water. A notable trait of the technique addresses the usefulness of pulling moisture from the air. Moisture in the air wasn't readily present in the desert, maybe in the Hospital's greenhouse, and could be more useful in the greener pastures of the Land of Fire. Sadayo would focus her energy on accumulation until she felt a sufficient grasp on the simple ability.[1/1] Learned: Mizu Soujuu; Rank X [learn as E]
Uo Tsuba [ Fish Spit ] Rank E Having a grasp on water manipulation, Sadayo could dive into stronger water abilities. Still though, she was splashing into metaphorical puddles rather leaping into deep ponds. The scroll describes a simple technique which describes how to fire a simple jet of water from the mouth. She took a moment to gather the chakra in her person. The trick was fairly easy to grasp [1/1] Uo Tsuba [Fish Spit] Rank E
She had made a puddle of water on the floor. It best to try to work with her creation on the next technique. Sadayo further implemented her chakra in attempt to learn to use her water to create a mirror. The simple technique requires only an extra ounce of effort. The puddle surface was shining as a true mirror in no time, it seemed. [1/1] Mizu Kagami no Jutsu [ Water Mirror Technique ] Rank: E
The ability requires both water and a lightning current. Something about this technique felt right, in the sense that the whip of water seems like something would suit her needs. Using the puddle she had made prior, Sadayo would look to create a puddle to stem from the puddle and hold onto. She would kneel, perform a few hand seals, and set her palm just onto the very surface of the puddle. [1/2]
From there, she would begin to form a rather small and short cylindrical line of water in her fingers. Her chakra would collect as much as she could from the existing water puddle until only the water forming the whip was the only water touching the floor. When all was ready and the whip was formed, the girl would exert more of her chakra. This time, she would sent a faint trace of her electrical nature through before dropping and ending the whip.[2/2] Learned: Mizu no Muchi [ Whip of Water ] Rank: C
This one was different. This technique was a quick method to capture, or glue, her opponents with a fancy suiton trick. She would have to prepare herself with an appropriate ninjutsu proir, otherwise, the user would be stuck themselve to their own sticky goo. For a time, Sadayo begins to concentrate her chakra in her being to build up the will-be sticky starch. [1/2] She didn't know what to expect. After imagining the aftermath of unleashing the chakra formed starch, the girl would expell the chakra concoction from her mouth. It wasn't a pleasant experience to perform herself, she saw this technique better utilized through her puppets. As it was practice, she didn't expel too much and didn't try to touch or bother think about who ever it was to was tasked to tidy the sticky mess up.

Two puppets would eventually be at her disposal. Sadayo currently has the ability to control at least one and would take a glance over the text to learn to link to the second one. To summon and connect strings for two puppets, simultaneously, would require an extra ounce of energy. One puppet per hand. The girl mimics the same seal needed to pretent to connect to a single puppet but takes the extra step to summon as if she were to connect to a second. [1/1] Kuchiyose Kugutsu: Ni (Two) Rank C
The puppet-related last item was straight forward and useful solely for dismissal. Gyakukuchiyose Kugutsu, un-summoning, was useful for any time her puppets should no longer be needed. Sadayo read over the required hand seal before praticing. At most, Sadayo would have to read and perform a mock attempt. She would dismiss nothing! [1/1] Gyakukuchiyose Kugutsu (Unsummoning) Rank C
Sadayo would grab a different scroll to study. That's what she did: study. Another seal to add to her list to desperately try to incorporate in her craft. Something about a clock. Something else that was ultimately becoming frustrating, like the greenhouse, but annoyingly useful. A little clock face protected by chakra would likely become a familiar thing to her know.[1/1] Tebanasu Fuuin [ Time Sealing ] Rank E

Tetsuhiko, the new shinobi, entered the academy with enthusiasm in order to begin his training. "Now it begins." He thought before entering a training room and going through the scrolls. The scrolls offered excellent insights for learning material. The first scroll he picked up was for kugutsu which he unrolled and read carefully for intructions. He started by setting a wooden training puppet down in front of him.
Once the puppet was set down he held out his right hand and began concentrating his chakra. He inhaled and exhaled deeply as he felt his body's chakra move through his fingers. Suddenly he felt the strings leave his fingers and attach to the puppet before him. He smiled contently as he moved his fingers and the puppet in tandem. "This is my art!" He thought to himself with excitement. Using the strings he moved the puppet to the other side of the room and released control of it. Then, he put his training scroll on the floor in front of him to free his hands.

Tetsuhiko then began forming a string of hand signs and concentrating his chakra. The wooden training puppet was now a considerable distance away from him and he wanted to summon the puppet before him. He noticed that the amount of chakra he needed to conjure up for this technique was more than he needed for the strings.
He practiced the handsigns again to remember them in the proper sequence. With additional concentration, the puppet suddenly appeared closely in front of him. Now he would be able to summon his future creations. Tetsuhiko had now officially mastered the basics of puppetry.

Ten chakra strings then attach to the wooden puppet from Tetushiko's hands as he concentrates his chakra. With the puppet running in a circle he suddenly released control of the puppet by severing his strings. In this moment the puppet performed a fast dodging maneuver before he attached his strings once more to regain control.

For the next technique of his art, he began practicing a semi-long string of hand signs. It took him a little while to form them and got one of the hand signs mixed up. He returned to practicing the hand signs for the second time and completed them in a much faster and accurate succession.
After mastering the hand signs he breathed with intention and concentrated his chakra into the puppet target in front of him. Once he applied the chakra onto the puppet successfully he was able to refill its launchers. Doing so would allow him to fully replinish a puppet's ammunition in the future.

The puppeteer then wanted to learn to dismiss his puppet instantly so he began by performing a hand sign set. He then completed his first attempt and the hand signs were slow and clumsy. He would try again and the signs passed quicker and more deliberately.
For the third time, he performed the hand signs and concentrated in order to apply chakra to the puppet. His chakra was then placed onto the puppet successfully. After his chakra was applied to the puppet it suddenly disappeared and was dismissed.
LEARNED: Gyakukuchiyose Kugutsu (Unsummoning) C-Rank (1 class post reduction) (2 academy post reduction)
Tetsuhiko wanted to be able to summon more puppets at once and realized this would use more chakra. He applied the same hand sign set he used previously much faster than before now that he memorized them. He started applying a larger pool of chakra throughout his body than the Ichi technique.
He breathed steadily as he concentrated his chakra. Suddenly he felt a confirmation that he could summon three times as many puppets as he could before. Although he did not have the puppets on hand he knew he could summon up to three at once.
LEARNED: Kuchiyose Kugutsu: Ni (Two) C-Rank (1 class post reduction) (2 academy post reduction)
Finally, Tetsuhiko was going to learn his final kugutsu technique for the time being. This technique was going to be an even stronger version of the previous three he learned. Tetsuhiko performed a the same hand signs as before with complete mastery.
He concentrated a B-Rank amount of chakra in his body, which was far more than he ever had to use before. This attempt was unsuccessful the first time as it required greater concentration. He weaved the hand sign set together a second time.
After the hand signs were formed he concentrated on his chakra reserves to conjure up the amount of chakra necessary. Tetsuhiko began to sweat a bit because his focus was beginning to get intense. Again, he failed to bring all of that chakra up to the surface.
Tetsuhiko inhaled and exhaled deeply and performed the hand sign set once again. He felt his chakra reserves stir and awaken with the new intense amount of chakra. Finally, he was able to command the chakra and perform the technique and could now summon up to ten puppets at once.

Tetsuhiko unscrewed the gourd of iron sand tied to his waist to begin practicing techniques from his family's scroll. He unraveled the scroll and placed it on the floor and read it over intently. He would begin by forming a hand sign and concentrating his chakra to convert it into magnetic energy.
He breathed in and out carefully while mentally focusing on his internal chakra reserves. He manipulated a D-Rank amount of chakra flowing through his body in order to convert it magnetically. Remembering the instructions in the scroll he would begin to focus on the conversion.
The conversion of chakra into magnetism was the most difficult part of this technique's process. He had to use the lightning nature in his chakra and manipulate it in order to create a magnetic reaction. While he continued to focus on the element he could feel that he was making progress.
A D-Rank allotment of eletrical chakra began converting into magnetism as he could see the iron sand in the gourd begin to stir. Tetsuhiko closed his eyes and focused incredibly hard on the magnetism until it could be successfully achieved. He could sense that a magnetic field was starting to surround his body.
He felt an incredible magnetic power flowing through him that generations of people in his family had at their fingertips. The magnetism almost boiled in his blood as he felt the magnetic field finally form. Now he had control over the iron sand.
Unclasping his hands, he moved the iron sand and it left the gourd completely. He focused on the iron sand and used his hands to manipulate its flow. He waved his arms slowly and magnetically moved the iron sand back into its gourd home.
LEARNED: Jiba Soujuu [ Magnetic Manipulation ] (6 posts to learn)
Tetsuhiko then began learning the second technique listed on the scroll. This technique would allow him to convert ferromagnetic objects directly into iron sand. He started by dropping a kunai and trying the required hand signs for the technique.
Slowly, Tetsuhiko practiced the hand signs by weaving them together. He practiced by reading the hand signs indicated and replicating them. Now he was picking up speed and memorized the hand seals needed.
For a second time, he formed the hand sign set and began to focus on his chakra. He channeled the D-Rank amount of chakra in his chakra network needed. Now that the chakra was out of his chakra network he focused on his Earth style nature as that was what was needed to turn the kunai into iron sand.
His regular chakra was now being oriented with the Earth chakra nature. He focused purposefully on his chakra until it fully embraced the Earth chakra. Now that he had his Earth style chakra down he could begin to apply it to the kunai.
He began to secrete the Earth-nature chakra outward from his body. With further concentration, the Earth chakra was starting to leave his body. His chakra was now officially outside of himself and now he had to focus on applying it to the kunai.
The Earth chakra was now on its way to being applied to the small weapon. Tetsuhiko started focusing intensely on the knife with his chakra. Finally, the chakra began coating the blade until completion.
Now it was time to focus on chakra compression on the kunai. Tetsuhiko focused his eyes intensely onto the kunai as he tried to compress the chakra on the kunai. He noticed his chakra beginning to put pressure onto the kunai by creating small dents.
Tetsuhiko was almost there, he started pressurizing as hard on the kunai as he could. The pressure continued to intensify until he actually broke the kunai in two. Now that he could tell that his chakra was working he tried to continue the compression on the two halves.
With further pressure, the two halves started to break down and Tetsuhiko had to continue to heighten his focus. It was difficult to stay focused for so long, but he had to power through to keep his attention. He now broke the two halves into halves, now there were four pieces of kunai on the floor.
The iron prince let out a grunt as he began to grind up the four pieces of kunai with his chakra. The four pieces then started to disintegrate into a fine iron sand. He could see that he was now able to create iron sand from these materials.

Tetsuhiko next placed a golden locket piece of jewelry on the floor. His new goal was to learn how to manipulate the golden locket using his magnetic chakra. He formed a hand seal and began to focus his chakra.
He formed the hand sign and began to focus on his chakra. He channeled the D-Rank amount of chakra in his chakra network required. Now that the chakra was out of his chakra network he focused on his Earth style nature as that was what was needed to turn the locket into golden sand.
His regular chakra was now being oriented with the Earth chakra nature. He focused purposefully on his chakra until it fully embraced the Earth chakra. Now that he had his Earth style chakra down he could begin to apply it to the golden locket
He began to move the Earth-nature chakra outward from his body. With further concentration, the Earth chakra was starting to leave his body. His chakra was now officially outside of himself and now he had to focus on applying it to the jewelry.
The Earth chakra was now on its way to being applied to the small weapon. Tetsuhiko started focusing intensely on the locket with his chakra. Finally, the chakra began coating the necklace until completion.
Now it was time to focus on chakra compression on the kunai. Tetsuhiko focused his eyes intensely onto the golden locket as he tried to compress the chakra on the locket. He noticed his chakra beginning to put pressure onto the pendant by creating small dents.
Tetsuhiko was almost there, he started pressurizing as hard on the golden locket as he could. The pressure continued to intensify until he actually broke the kunai in two. Now that he could tell that his chakra was working he tried to continue the compression on the two halves.
The iron prince let out a grunt as he began to grind up the two pieces of the locket with his chakra. The two pieces then started to disintegrate into a fine golden sand. He could see that he was now able to create golden sand from non-magnetic materials.
Tetsuhiko did a single hand sign and charged towards the wooden practice puppet in front of him. He then swung a punch at the marionette and landed it with his right hand. Once the punch landed he used his magnetic chakra to move the puppet and mastered the technique.

He then stopped and held out his right index finger in a point. Tetsuhiko manipulated a small amount of iron sand to sit in front of his finger. He focused on the iron sand with his chakra.
Tetsuhiko's focus on the iron sand increased as he molded it into a small sphere. This ball of iron sand then needed a coating of chakra over it in order for it to serve its function as a bullet. He focused more on the iron bullet and forced his chakra over it to coat it completely.
Once the iron sphere was covered in chakra he focused further on it and looked at a bullseye target ahead of him in the training area. He pointed towards it and sent the bullet forward at a high speed. The bullet raced towards the target and hit a bullseye.

Tetsuhiko next held out his right hand in a blocking gesture. He began channeling a D-Rank amount of chakra into his hand from his central chakra system. He could feel the chakra radiating through his hand as he practiced the technique.
Next he pushed out all of the required chakra from his hand and began to focus further on it. He began focusing his magnetic field into the chakra as well. When that was successful he knew he would be able to repel electrical attacks.

Tetsuhiko waved all of the spare iron sand out of his gourd and gathered the iron sand from the earlier kunai together. He began weaving the required hand seals together to practice. After the first round of hand seals he practiced again just for memory's sake.
He formed more handseals with urgency and deliberation. Each time the handseals were formed faster and faster. Eventually he could form them at blinding speeds.
He began applying his Jiton chakra to the iron sand and it started to mold into a humanoid form. Once it took on the proper shape it started to resemble Tetsuhiko. Eventually, it looked like a perfect clone of him and began moving around.

Focusing on his iron sand clone he held a single tiger hand sign. Once the hand seal was formed he started focusing his magnetic chakra onto the clone in the hopes of changing its form and augmenting it. His concentration increased as he stirred the iron sand within the clone.
He manipulated the iron sand within the clone's arms and created kunai sized wrist blades. The clone swung its arms about to test the blades' resolve. The blades were well constructed of the iron sand and the clone seemed effective.
Tetsuhiko then magnetically moved the iron sand around in the clone and turned it into a tiger. The tiger then ran around and bared its teeth and claws. This clone manipulation seemed perfect to Tetsuhiko.

Tetsuhiko began gathering large quantities of iron sand together in order to perform a big technique. He started by practicing the hand signs, he weaved together around eight different hand signs. Then the Satetsu performed the hand signs once more, this time less clumsily and faster.
Once again, Tetsuhiko performed the handsigns and everytime he did they were better executed. Once that was done he started concentrating his chakra onto the gathered iron sand with the goal of forming a large weapon. The image he had in his mind was of an arrow.
The iron sand hovering above the floor started to thin out and take shape. The shape was long and sharp and eventually formed an arrow. Tetsuhiko continued to focus on it to give it a better, more aerodynamic shape.
Once the arrow reached its full desired shape he launched it forth. The arrow missed its desired target so the iron prince retracted it with his magnetism. When the arrow returned he lined it up once more for another shot.
Once again, he fired the arrow. The arrow flew forth with much greater precision. Once the giant arrow landed on its target Tetsuhiko smirked as it had hit its target precisely.

Tetsuhiko then broke down the iron arrow into its iron sand form for practice with a new technique. The sand then levitated from the ceiling of the large training area. Tetsuhiko then started to turn the iron sand into clumps leading to hundreds of iron bullets.
The young Satetsu then began forming the proper hand signs. The first set of hand signs were slow as he was trying to learn them. He then formed the hand seals once again right after.
The third time he formed the hand seal set was, of course, better than the previous two attempts. This time he would be combat ready for performing the hand seal incantation on the technique. On the fourth time, he got them down perfectly before trying the technique.
Next, he focused his chakra onto the drizzle in order to coat the bullets and increase their lethality. It took a great deal of focus and chakra control to coat the bullets in so much chakra. Tetsuhiko felt confident in his abilities as a Hanzo and managed to do it.
With all of the drizzle covered in chakra, he moved his hands and they began their incredibly quick descent. As the drizzle fell he was able to manipulate their movement mid-air. Before the bullets could damage the floor, Tetsuhiko halted them and knew he had mastered the Jutsu.

With the tendrils covered in chakra, he moved his hands forward and it quickly applied its incredibly clogging ability. The tendrils left the wooden puppet completely immobilized. Tetsuhiko mastered the technique and hoped his puppets would not have to deal with it themselves, his beautiful artistic creations.

Now that the first half of his training was complete he would now commence the second half. It went very smoothly and he learned a great many new techniques. Now he was only half way through with being a fully trained genin of Sunagakure. "It won't be long before I create a renaissance of high art in this village!" The artist thought with enthusiasm before continuing his training by unraveling another scroll for illusionary techniques.
Tetsuhiko quickly moved his way over to the Genjutsu training area which had a practice target contraption shaped as a person with a small chakra network embedded into it. He began by practicing the required hand seals for the first round. After the first hand sign set he practiced again and improved upon his ability to create fast hand signs.
The iron prince moved the chakra into the central chakra network of the dummy and found that it took extra focus. Eventually he could feel his chakra fully enter the dummy's brain. He now knew that he could perform the same disruption on a real target.

Tetsuhiko then unraveled a scroll of Raiton Ninjutsu techniques, the art of lightning.

Now he felt that he had achieved full basic electrical resistance training.

Tetsuhiko, with his blade in hand, began charging a new kind of electrical chakra through his body. He improved his concentration on the electrical current of his chakra. He inhaled deeply before attempting to form a lightning sphere.
With further breathing and concentration exercises a ball of lightning began to form. The lightning in the blade started to swirl until a solid sphere was formed. He then flowed more chakra into it to make the sphere more subtantial.
Next Tetsuhiko launched the sphere towards the center of the target and missed entirely. With a quick sigh he began to form the sphere again and launched it forth at the target once more. This time the sphere hit its desired target.

Tetsuhiko moved to the other side of the training area and formed a handsign for an entirely new technique. He concentrated the chakra throughout his body in order to, hopefully, extremely increase his speed. He continued to focus on his internal chakra.
With the chakra unlocked Tetsuhiko suddenly started running noticeably faster. Every three seconds his speed increased as he ran his laps. Suddenly, he moved from one end of the training area to the other end at a speed the naked eye could not see.

Finally, Tetsuhiko was going to begin his sealing training. The first thing he did was gather some scrolls and ink before sitting on the floor and unraveling them. These seals would be vital for storing his perfect marionette creations in the future so he began by reading the seal formula.
After he read through the sealing formula he began practicing some designs in ink. Using the ink he drew a few distinct designs on the parchment trying to match them to the original design. Since Tetsuhiko is such a gifted artist it did not take him long to replicate the seal.
Once the seals were drawn he began summoning his chakra to put into the ink. After breathing carefully he began to input his chakra into the ink for the purpose of turning it into an active seal that could store the item effectively. It did not take too long before the chakra seal formed in his practice session.
Next, he painted the chakra seal onto his kunai knife until it left a permanent mark on the hilt. Once the knife was ready he applied some blood to it. Finally, he was able to store the kunai into the scroll and master the enclosing technique.
LEARNED: Fūnyū no Jutsu [ Enclosing Technique ] B-Rank Training (2 academy post reduction) (1 performer class reduction)
With the scroll unraveled before him with the kunai sealed away, he wanted to next focus on unsealing it. This technique would be very useful as it would allow him to unseal his puppets, iron sand, ninja tools, and the rest. He would start by focusing his chakra and placing his hand on the seal.
With careful breathing and focus, he would start to summon his chakra through his hand and onto the seal. The chakra had to leave his central reserves in order to summon the kunai from the seal itself. With additional breathing, he could feel the chakra move through his hand.
With the chakra at his finger tips he began applying it to the seal. Once the chakra made contact with the seal he started to see it glow. The glowing seal was an indication that the item would appear soon enough.
When the seal glowed a puff of smoke appeared from it, but no kunai. Tetsuhiko then attempted the release again. After he applied his hand once more the kunai finally appeared.

With all of his training complete, Tetsuhiko began storing all of his materials in the proper areas, repositioned the targets, and completed necessary upkeep. It was a hard day's work of training, but it was definitely worth it. Tetsuhiko was now a fully trained Genin, ready to begin a mission at any moment. Once he was ready he walked towards the door and opened it. The next location was the Sunagakure Superdome where he would begin the artistic creation of his puppets. He confidently stepped out of the door and began his journey.
Certainly, the items she sought most could be found back at the Super Dome. Puppets. However, her puppets had an extra "something" to them that could probably get pricey. For now, without a pair of puppets to use the a majority of her puppet knowledge sounded useless, even with her remaining techniques which still need to be read. As for the "wait" time, this was "in between" now and the actual shopping spree she could help out somewhere with tasks. Fine. She decided to head back to the hospital to lend herself again in the greenhouse. So, she left.

Goodness. With as frequent a visitor Sadayo has been to the academy lately she should probably think about converting a lonely broom closet as her personal hide-away. Her return to the academy, once again, was fueled with by passion of puppetry. She had to find the proper tools to write a set of seals (and probably borrow them for an extended amount of time. Don’t tell anyone) before she could dream of running into battle. Time should be set aside for puppet practice, while she’s at it, too. But, maybe, the dojo would be a good spot to try puppet practice instead?
The puppet, Yuutsu, would be behind her in a languid float. One of Sadayo’s hands would casually be held up to her shoulder with chakra threads from five fingertips as she went about through the building’s entrance and a hallway. It was hard to say if there was really anyone else there buzzing about on the same floor with her. In time, the girl would pass through some doorway into a room she found to be equip with the ink and brush she needed. Her puppet plans covered utilization of a nature seal, attuned to her water-natured chakra inscribed on the inside of the torso under a relatively straightforward channeling mechanism. Sadayo took the brush, dipped it into ink, and carefully went to work printing the appropriate set of squiggles in a compact shape. At last, able to imbed her chakra to complete her plan.
She looked around dome before adding the small bottle of ink and brush to her bag; I'll just...borrow these for a while… With the seal set up, the girl would lift her puppet up through threads and hurry on to another room. A familiar wall of shelved scrolls was waiting elsewhere. The girl was quick to rediscover the location of lightning ninjutsu scrolls. The inanimate doll still behind her as Sadayo took a scroll off the shelf: the technique in mind sounded useful in a long range scenario that could be built up over a length of time.
A triangle formation is behind this technique. With forked, metal rods that would all act as obvious lightning rods and create an electricity field between each rod. Each detail was studied carefully.
She imaged that her puppets could help her accomplish this through some means.Sadayo would roam further into the academy until she would either find an outdoor training spot or a sandy plot in doors. One of the two would have to happen before she could truly advance. [1/4]
She was aware of this jutsu prior, as she had read about it during a previous training session, but at the time didn’t have the appropriate resources to attempt the technique. Thunder Binding went on the future list. Now, having the tools required, Sadayo could at last try. The academy floors, being of a solid material, wouldn’t have been able to uphold the metal projectiles in an upwards position. Now, having found herself outside somewhere, the sand should solve the lightning rod problem. [2/4]
Ideally, she imaged, that in a battle situation she would have puppets stick these rods into the ground while distracting an enemy. Probably throwing them to said puppets would be the answer. Here, in practice, the puppeteer simply stuck each rod into the sand in a triangular formation one by one. All she really had to do next was implement a source of electricity: herself. A few hand-seals to activate her static nature would flicker, reach, and leap onto the nearest rod. [3/4]
The electric spark only grew as Sadayo’s energy fed its light. The light, now very visible, leaps onto the metal fork to its right simultaneously scaling to the rod on its left. This technique was merely a fancy trapping mechanism. The fun part would be breaking the chain of lightning and recollecting her tools. Aside from retrieval, everything else about the technique seems to be understood. [4/4] Learned: Kamninari Shibari :: Thunder Binding Rank B
The puppet Yuutsu was still out busy and being lopsided from sitting on its drill piece. Sadayo would reattach to the puppet, lift it, and into the path of lightning to try to break its cycle sooner. However, the electricity was able to jump onto the puppet itself. With her threads, sadayo swung one of Yuutsu’s arms to knock down and bury one of the metal rods into the sand. After, to finally break any lingering jolts of electricity, the girl moved the puppet far enough away to disrupt the jutsu. A wind elemental user would have had no issue of knocking out the barrier without burying a metal rod.
Eventually, things seemed safe enough when the lightning died out that she could collect her tools and re-add them to her bag. Yuutsu, on the other hand, was still sitting in wait for future instruction. Inanimate.
The next jutsu was also lightning. A temporary clone ability that was formed from electricity. She would focus her energy through a hand sign formation until unleashing it. In the presence of free flowing lightning, she wondered if it were possible to take advantage of her surroundings to duplicate herself. A clone appears.

Masato walked casually through the doors of each and every room in the academy. He had somehow managed to excell through the basics with ease to graduation. This was more of a surprise to him than his instructors who knew he had never once opened a book, let alone stayed awake during a session. Finally he would stumble upon a female shinobi studying lightning ninjutsu. "Woah now. Neat tricks." He said in almost a sarcastic, hushed tone as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Lightning was fascinating to watch, but Masato had a taste for the...hotter things. Seeing the lightning clone made him wonder if he was capable of doing the same technique with a fire element.
Her clone was the first to take notice of him. A subtle head tilt, would be the clone’s signal to confirm a source to the hushed voice, and its location, to her solid double. Sadayo wasn’t anticipating making herself into a spectacle especially after registering the choice of tone used in the stranger’s comment. His tone sounded saucy, if i’m not mistaken. If he’s the sarcastic type, then this’ll be an interesting ride. Wonderful.
When Sadayo turned to see who exactly had shown up, she found she didn’t recognize the fairly tall young man standing there. Really. A fleeting thought surfaced about whether or not she was secretly a recovering amnesic patient or was simply being reassured that she’s truly been living under a metaphorical rock. No matter. The prior thought was bombarded out of focus anyway when she remembered why she came back to the academy.
A sigh was masked as a quiet, ordinary breath. The clone was dismissed by Sadayo’s firm punch to its fictitious abdomen and a burst of crackling light followed which caused an uncomfortable tingling sensation to spread through her arm. Earlier training endeavors for electricity resistance only stopped the burning factor; the stinging jolts were diminished but not enough. This measly puppeteer isn’t entirely superhuman, here. “Yeah and every finish is shocking...!” She would say, throwing out a timely pun and turn her head from Masato’s direction, sporting a half-hearted, crooked grin on her face.
To stir a much needed change to the subject, Sadayo would begin her next chore and follow with a question: ”Have you been here long? In that spot, I mean.” By now, Sadayo had at least taken one, solid look at Masato before turning her head to her work. Not bad, her thoughts began to buzz about his attire as she rummaged through the large supply bag at her waist, interesting taste in footwear though. Hot sands must not bother him.
A white, blank scroll was pulled out with a borrowed bottle of ink and brush carefully captured between the scroll and a few fingers of a single hand. The set was placed before her, on the floor, in front of where the girl chose to take a seat. Yūutsu had been sitting lopsided a ways away with arms resting against itself and head tilting. A set of blades were neatly tucked in behind the doll’s clothing. An observant shinobi could have seen the movements of one of Sadayo’s hands were correlating with the doll’s movement. Yūutsu rose a couple inches from the floor. Just moving the doll proves to be a noisy chore with quick intervals of clicking and rattling and only became more apparent with its arms being lifted from a drag.
Sadayo sat cross-legged with her blank scroll unrolled at her feet. The brush was held in one hand while the other finished up a string of subtle motions to guide the puppet to sit in front. Before meeting brush to paper she would ask another, important, question: “Has the Lady Kazekage given you her short speech about ‘joining the ranks’ and living up to ‘responsibilities’ and what not' yet?” In wait of his answer, if any, Sadayo carries on with the careful inscription of a set of strong seals to safely lock her puppet in as a sure-fire alternative to carry and summon her puppet from. An extra seal was added to the puppet too to ensure her known forms of summoning she knew could carry onto this doll. “There. She’s the one who gave your headband to you, after all” Then, she set aside the brush and finished up with a string of hand seals to dismiss the doll into a safe place. The scroll was re-rolled some after the frowning doll disappeared. A frowning face in black ink was drawn onto the scroll’s exterior before completely rolling it to a close. The puppeteer carried on talking as she closed the bottle ink and utilized a weak suiton ninjutsu to clean the brush. “Or she tossed a headband at you. Whatever works. ” Sadayo would look back up at Masato. To flash a smile for both her completed work and for his impending answer.
ooc:: be sure to talk to Ayame before starting your training. You need to receive your headband first!
OOC: Not sure what sort of "seal" work my character just did exactly. But I guess I was trying to set up a scroll to summon from and create something to make sense of the Kugujutsu's "summon puppet" jutsus.

The girl's clone that took note of him would shorly be dismissed with her rather showy dispersal of the technique. A swift, stern punch to its abdomen would end it. The sparks that were generated from it would cause enough visable pain to the genin that Masato observed the wince that followed. 'Raiton...and that thing in the corner...' he thought to himself as the flickering of fingers prompted the clattering of arms. It moved across the floor, hovering slightly above the surface. Looking at it, he analyzed its function. ' The blades curve in....trapping an opponent, acting like pincers to mince the target..' He laughed to himself. " Not a very nice toy."
Turning back to the door as the ink and brush met, he stopped briefly as the kunoichi asked about meeting the kage. " No. Really, I'm just procrastinating."He said, sighing and exiting without another word. She was right, he had to stop by....he just was avoiding the hustle and bustle of the Kazekage's office.
Fortunately, He had gotten word that Anji, the elder monk in the village had been seeking him out since his departure of the hospital. The letter Masato had received specified that he believed Masato was ready to learn the monks most prized technique that may come in handy for the young taijutsu prodigy. As he arrived, the monk Anji was visible in the center of the monastery. It looked as though his wounds from the assault were nearly healed. ** LEARNED - Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] {{MARUTON | 1/5Posts}}
Masato's instructor stepped forward and said, "Glad to see you are well, Masato. I hear that those ruffians received quite the thrashing....Now, I'm going to teach you a pretty advanced cloning technique. Master it and you'll go much further than you could with other techniques like it." First, the elder would display the unique hand seal used for the technique. His index and middle fingers on each hand were extended as though one had taken the tiger hand seal and broke it apart before crossing their index fingers. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." At that moment a duplicate of The old man appeared right beside him maintaining the same hand seal. ** LEARNED - Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] {{MARUTON | 2/5Posts}}
Masato strutted forward and poked the clone's arm, determining that it was a solid clone like it appeared to be. He looked rather unamused still. "Soooo... does it do tricks?" The clone smiled and replied in place of the original, "Shadow Clones are able to be supplied with as much chakra as you want to give them past what is needed to create them in the first place. They can use all of the techniques and abilities you know how to use." The real Elder Monk would chime in with the explanation, "A clone that is defeated in battle or dismissed by you will return any excess chakra or stamina it was given back to you. Also, you'll gain knowledge of the clone's experiences from its own point of view." Both of them raised an index finger and wagged it side to side as a warning gesture before saying in unison, "But this technique has its drawbacks like any other. Obviously, giving too much energy to it or others at the same time means you've only got a fraction of your chakra or stamina left to fight with. It's also been proven that some techniques can hijackclones. Be wary of things like that." The clone fell silent as the real Anji continued, "I recommend using it mostly for scouting and distractions. Relying on it to fight for you isn't great either since it isn't exactly the sturdiest doppelganger technique in the book." Masato simply just nodded after taking in all that information to process. Not that he would remember the half of the speech. ** LEARNED - Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] {{MARUTON | 3/5Posts}}
The young Masato stepped back again after sorting everything out in his head. "Right...seems complicated. But. I'll try. " Masato put his hands together to form the same unique hand seal that Anji showed him. He focused his chakra intently and produced a physical clone of himself. The two of them glanced at each other, taking several moments to inspect the other, and then they both turned away in an almost i satisfied manner from one another. " could have done better. But you'll do. " ** LEARNED - Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] {{MARUTON | 4/5Posts}}
The Clone gritted its teeth in anger. " Excuse you?" The Clone growled at the original. The Clone was just as aggravated as the original Masato would have been. The original spoke once more. " Don't be a child" Masato said to his Clone as he smirked. The shadow clone dispersed before Masato would even turn to face himself. ** LEARNED - Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] {{MARUTON | 5/5 Posts}}
