Now, reactivating the armor, Ika had some work to do! What good was learning the foundation if you didn't go out and buy the platforms! This skyscraper had to be built, and only he could fill it with cement and.. other stuff! Ika would suddenly reactive his hyper-armor-of-doom and begin to charge towards a previously set up dummy.

[1]

The key to this first move was.. Um.. His head! Yes, he must strategically place a headbutt to the target! How hard could this be?! With super hyperactive ability and his nimble-ness-ness, this task would prove incredibly easy and fun-filled! Hell, it wouldn't even hurt'em probably!

[2]

BANZAI! The wacky fifteen year old would suddenly roll up his sleeves and hop upwards, as he came down towards the dummy, his body arched back to form a backwards "C" shape. Coming down would result in the imminent destruction of the dummy.. He hit it directly on the forehead, his flying headbutt proving to be incredibly deadly. The result was the incredible annihilation of the dummy.. It's body, form the head down, was shattered into a few hundred chunks of wood. Ika only landed within the debris, unaffected and crouched in a cool pose.. His hair muffled vision of his body, allowing for a very heroic look. Watch out, messenger ninja with deadly skills!

[3 - Kaiser Crown]

Of course, one could never have too little an amount of deadly skills! He had to take it one (or two) steps further with this neck move. The motive behind this technique was just as simple minded as with the first. Smash'em like a damn boulder with a "Smash Me!" sign on the front!

[1]

With another simple minded charge, Ika would head for the next nearest dummy. The intent was to.. Smash it?! Yes! Smash it! As he closed in, he would swing his left arm so that it went horizontally across his chest, touching his right shoulder. He had an idea! While nearing the dummy, he would jump over it's body, spinning madly and then skidding behind it.. While still in his crouch, he would suddenly fling his arm out in a wide arc. Wouldn't ya' know his arm would expand?!

[2]

The result of such an unexpected tactic was the sudden destruction of the dummy. His whip-like outstretch, fueled by the armor and his passive trait, would allow for the unique usage of this technique. The "Elbow Bolt" would abruptly prove it's use in making contact and, once more, obliterating a dummy. Ika, soon after, would retract his limb and stand proud.. Surely things couldn't get any cooler then this! Runnin' round real fast, without getting tired, and smashin' s**t with stretchy arms?! Oh yes!

[3 - Elbow Bolt Learned]

One more from this stage right?! RIGHT! The final technique was, without a doubt.. The exact same as the other two! Simple minded, simply performed, and easily executed! That next dummy in sight would be a very unlucky one! Surely it didn't know this though? It was, after all, a dummy. And dummies were dumb AND susceptible to Taijutsu practitioners named Ika.

[1]

With agile steps, Ika went to prancing about with huge, gaping, leaps. He zig-zagged happily, wasting time (but not energy) on his way towards and around the next target. He seemed to be stalling, gathering momentum for the final movement to come.. After a certain point, he decided it was time! With a bounding leap, he would jump as high as the dojo would allow!

[2]

As Ika came down, he positioned his body and contorted himself to an axe kicking form of some sort. This was known as the "Guillotine Drop!" to the style's practitioners. It proved successful in, yet again, massacring a clone. The destructive force did in fact have the intended effect, proving his swift mastery of the simple-minded effort. Time to set off for a break now!

As the two ninja dashed through the village, hoping across buildings and barging through crowds, many villagers would yell and curse at them. At one point Kay had went through an open window, and out the back door of a restaurant and kept going at full speed. not a trickle of sweat on Kay, and Akatsuchi just as energized, the two came in the room through the open doors and skidded to a clean stop just where they usually trained. The massive crater in the wall from the garouga was still there, much to the duo's content, and they began immediately, getting to work on a few more things for the chuunin exams. He knelled down and bit his thumb, thinking about something he had been working out in his head for a while. Akatsuchi sat silently at his side, her sandy brown tail wagging and her eyes scanning his face. He rubbed her head, scratching her ears as well, absently as he thought, and she seemed to be content with just the scratching. Suddenly though he did handseals and she was again the female version of him. She stood up, her clothing a bit larger than her, and raised her eyebrow. "I have a new technique to try out, two actually. Are you ready?" She nodded. "Good girl. Okay first we have to bawawawawawawawsawawaawa...."

TP begin, the two of them ran forward. They slapped their hands against each other as they did so and jumped from the ground, rotating extremely fast and beginning a gatsuuga technique. THe rotations were in the same direction, and began to roll around each other as they dashed forward towards a target dummy. THough they weren't combined, the dual gatsuuga was strong enough to obliterate the wodden dummy. As they stopped and landed wobbly on the ground, Kay scratched his head and thought about why his technique didn't go off corrrectly. "It's all about the timing. We have to be completely on point. Two steps after we clap hands, then after fifteen spins in the rotation we rotate and fuse. Ready to try again?" he asked his partner as she nodded silently. (1/2 of custom technique Transuuga))

"Let's get moving!" he yelled as they slapped hands. When they stepped twice they jumped and began a spin that had them flying in the air with perfect coordination. After they had spun in the highspeed rotation fifteen times, the two began to rotate around each other, the focal point of the drills now fusiong into one giant drill. THe new dummy that Kay had set up, well there was only a pile of sawdust left after the Transuuga had hit it. Kay was so proud of him and his partner that he gave her a treat and did a happy dance. "Now that's what I'm talking about Akatsuchi!" she chowed on her treated and returned to dog form as Kay began to once again dance around. "Alright now for more taijutsu training." He was so determined to win big at the chuunin exams! Nothing was going to stop his momentum if he could stop them. He'd train all day and night if he needed to. ((2/2 of Transuuga))  

[MistahSixxPathsGod]

Before he trained the next technique he would have to train his body and aim so that the technique would come a bit more naturally to him. He began by dropping to the ground and doing push ups. After doing about forty he removed one hand and began again. Akatsuchi shook out her fur as she proudly watched Kay train, Barking everytime he went down to encourage him, and making sure he did them correctly. HE switch hands suddenly and began again. He totalled sixty basic push-ups before he stood up and prepared for the next excersise. ((1/6 -1 for dojo, -1 for animal tamer class.))

Now to train his legs he began doing squats. He would hold his squat position for 20 seconds before standing and resetting. After 20 of these he was definately feeling the burn in his legs, but he wasn't done. He found a twenty pound weight and repeated the same process of 20 20 second squats. After his he added another 20 pounds, but only did ten tensecond squats. No use getting an injury. Shaking out his legs he began to get ready for the next part of his training in the Haraise style. ((2/6))

He reached into his pocket and retrieved a couple of kunai. Picking up speed as he ran, he threw one of the kunai at the dummy, it hitting it's mark and Kay jumping onto the dummy. It was easy enough, but he needed to be able to do this technique perfectly if he was going to make it far in the chuunin exams, as basic as it was. THis time when he ran he threw the kunai with much greater force, but also with a slightly higher angle so as to hit the opponents head. It had hit directly in the head, buried deep inside it, and now harder to pull out than the other. Admiring his handiwork as he finally got it free, he moved back to begin the next part of the training. ((3/6))

Now he had to practice running quickly on all fours, fast enough so that he could get in close to his opponent without worrying too much about them catching him while he ran in towards them. He dashed off, starting with his hind legs and dashing in towards the dummy. Akatsuchi barked, sending a minor message to kay who shook his head. "That took much too long girl. I have an idea though," he said resetting himself at the same distance to the dummy. WHen he got down on all fours he kicked off his shoes and dug all of his nails into the ground. He did this on each connection to the ground, ending with a lounge that got him in biting range of the dummy. Akatsuchi barked a bit more cheerily, and Kay nodded. "That's much better," he said. ((4/6))

Now it was a matter of learning to throw kunai while his body was down and he was on all fours. He took out a group of kunai and spread them out in front of him on the ground. He grabbed each one and launched them forward at the dummy. Halfway through the supply he had laid out, he began to notice that he wasn't putting in as much power or getting the trajectory quite right. Doing some mental math he grabbed a kunai and launched it. Bullseye! Next he grabbed a couple of kunai and began dashing forward, tossing the kunai at the dummy and when it hit he jumped onto it and went in for a powerful bite on the wooden chest. But he jumped topo hard and flew directly over it instead. "Crap," he said to himself as Akatsuchi snickered at him. ((5/6))

Now it was that time. Launching off of his hind legs like before he threw the kunai at the dummy, it hitting long before he got there, but sure enough within a second or two he was lounging at the dumym. He did't over or undershoot, he hit the dummy and his weight sent it to the ground. Before he had even hit the ground though, his jaws had smashed into the dummy, just enough to give him some grip and prevent him from getting splinters in his tongue. Akatsuchi had watched all of his movements perfectly, and Kay did the beast man clone jutsu to turn her human, and she go the technique right on her first try! "I hate you!" he called laughing as she tackled him. ((6/6))  

[MistahSixxPathsGod]

Panting a bit as they sat on their heels and read the next technique, the pups would begin to grasp the actual fact of the Haraise style. Kay was going to be able to fight like a true beast, a demon, after this training was completed. BEginning similarly to last time, the two Inuzuka's would begin with push ups. THis time though, Kay had set ten pounds of bricks on Akatsuchi while she did hers. She began with two hands, then with one from each hand until she had totaled 80 push ups. When Kay did his, he had fifteen pound weights instead. The two were already beginning to sweat when they had just started. ((1/8 ))

Next, the two would each grab twenty pound weights and begin doing squats. The first sets of ten were basic, holding the position fo fifteen seconds before they could stand up again. But then they got a bit more extreme as they began to hold the position for excesses of thirty seconds at the maximum limit. ((2/8 ))

Now Kay was beginning to feel the burn. The two wrapped twenty pound weights aroudn their arms and legs and stretched out a little bit more than before. Getting down on all fours, the two would run twenty laps around the gym. As they stopped, the two of them would feel intense burning in their entire bodies. Akatsuchi, still in human form, would be sweating, something she'd never felt before, and seemed to be ready to continue though Kay was panting a bit. harder than she was. ((3/8 ))

With the weights still on Kay threw a kunai high on a wall across from their position. The object was to run, jump, and tap the kunai each time. The height of it would make this technique highly difficult to do, especially with the weights on. Flying up at the wall, Kay found grasping the kunai highly difficult to do. Even so as he fell and Akatsuchi did it, he became inspired by her want to continue the training no matter how tired she was. "Alrighty then!" he called as he tapped the kunai for the fiftith time. It was hard to do the training, but strength never came to the lazy right? ((4/8 ))

Akatsuchi had blind folded Kay for the next few sets of training. She held a fruit of some sort in front of his face, which he deeply inhaled, and then she took it and ran across the room. After waiting a few seconds, he began to sniff the air. Aroma's from the room filled his nose, mostly blood and sweat, and he tried to sort through them. He found the sweet tange of the lemon, but quickly lost it. He bit his thumb as he thought it over. ((5/8 ))

Now inhaling with what to find in mind, he quckly located the lemon scent and began tracking it as he walked blinded. It got stronger as he moved, and after a few seconds he placed a hand on Akatsuchi and smirked as he removed the blind fold. She held the lemon in her hands. "Easy enough for us right?" he asked high fiving the nodding girl who seemed proud of her partner. ((6/8 ))

Now he had stood a dumym across the room completely and got on all fours. Dashing forward suddenly, he would attempt to use chakra to speed himself up. While this did garner him a minute boost in speed, he knew it would not even be close to enough to get him where he wanted to be. He tried the same method again, digging his nails into the groudn as chakra increased his speed, but only to a small degree. Annoyed he bit his thumb, not breaking skin but still scratching it a biit as he pondered what he needed to do. Akatsuchi sudenly dashed past him, already knowing what to do, which made him frown up. ((7/8 ))

Storing a massive amount of fury powered chakra in his legs, Kay suddenly burst from the ground like as if he was going to perform a Tsuga. The chakra was definately increasing his speed by a much greater degree as he jumped on the dummy and began slashing at it. Now Akatsuchi marked the next dummy with lemon as Kay walked back to the start point. She barked, and he began running full speed, catching the scent and adjusting himself accordingly as he got in attack range, and... well attacked. Panting as he looked at the slashed remains, Kay and the wolf form Akatsuchi began to walk out of the dojo, not exactly tired, but not fully rested either. He'd rest once he got to Iwa for the chuunin exams.  

[Divine Monkey]

Time to train once more. He sat down, slowly curling his limbs into a crossed position and resting there for a moment. He could feel his chakra moving within, almost boiling at this point, like the hot water needed to remove his clan's ink. It was an interesting feeling, as he churned chakra to create inks inside himself.

[6]

A crimson red came to mind, strangely enough. A painful ink of course. Making hand signs, the collection of ink inside his mouth began to churn with chakra and bulge his cheeks slightly. It was slightly more uncomfortable than before, possibly because of the expanse of chakra used.

[7]

Spitting it out, the ink hit the wall forcefully. Some splattered along the sides, some jetted out. A pair of sparring shinobi were conveniently posted near this scene. They were rained on by a armada of small red ink drops. Suddenly, something changed. The previously tough taijutsu fighters were reduced to weaklings, crying from the pain brought by the ink, stimulating their pain receptors to a high degree, making every strike hurt way more.

 

[Divine Monkey]

[9]
More churning of chakra. His chakra was building up into a larger mass, he could feel it. Did the ink have an effect? Perhaps. Nathaniel smiled at the change of power as he let himself rest, even for these few precious moments. What was next? That gig in Rock seemed fun.

[10]
His bubble jutsu, inks, and some basic taijutsu was in play. Time to go. Packing up his materials, he waved gently at the fellow clansman, leaving to traverse to Rock.

 

[Shade_ArchBringer]

Shade waked in "Alirighty then let's begin" he focused his chakara he then did a few handsigns "Bushin no Jutsu" two clones appeared by Shade "Ok now I need more practice clones kill yourselves" Shade flinched as the clones stabbed themselves

((Bushin no Jutsu now Rank D 4/4))  

[MistahSixxPathsGod]

Having lost his prey somewhere near the dojo, Kay stopped running after his scent when they passed teh dojo. SOmehow, the building beckoned out to him more than Sypher. It was his favorite building in the village, one he frequently slept at, and now that he was home nothing had changed about that. Walking inside, the scent of blood and sweat welcomed him with open arms. He immediately went for the taijutsu scrolls. He knew to survive holding the title chuunin wouldn't be enough. He needed to live up to it. So begins his day of training...  

[MistahSixxPathsGod]

Reading through the scroll, Kay sat with his legs crossed next to his pup, who rubbed her head against his and complained that she was bored. Kay shushed her and continued reading. Tossing the scroll away, he stood up and got into position. "This first technique is... mortifying," he comlained as he eyed the dummy. Dashing up to it from behind, he jabbed his fingers through it's back side and it flew high up into the air. "What a simle trick..."
((THousand years of pain complete))  

[MistahSixxPathsGod]

He stood back in the room, staring off into the open air in the general direction of the dummy. This move is typically used to force an entry into a room in a comical way, or to suprise an opponent. Knowing Kay he'd find many uses for this technique. He stretched out his muscles and did a few squats to stretch himself out before he got to work. He ran forward, a kind of fire in his eyes as he jumped through the air, extending one leg and balancing his flight with the other. He had a lot of power behind this thanks to his prior training in the Hairase, and as of now he was a powerful foe. He tensed all of his muscles as he flew and began to exhale as he flew. He connected, sending the dummy flying through the air as he threw u devil horns and began to howl. ((Killer Bee Reference.))  

[MistahSixxPathsGod]

A staw dummy stood before him, his pose that of a man standing straight up with no actual guard, but sure enough Kay was treating him like a serious threat. He dashed towards it and swung his fist, punching it in the face and spinning into a straight kick to it's gut. He swung both fists down and smashed it's head down, his arms on his left side. He brung them back out and over his sides, smacking the dummy's head clean off of it's body. "Talk about dynamic action eh?" Kay said to himself as the shattered rremains hit the ground..

The next technique didn't even look as if it would be very diffucult to learn as Kay put a toothpick in his mouth. Hit blew it out, his affinity for fuuton helping it along, and the toothpick stabbed clean through the dummy's decapitated head.

(Dynamic action and Youjitsuba learned.))
