Selene followed in after the senju and watched him go straight to work on more training. "Got a bit of a work out for ya once you are done there Takahara." She then looked to Kaen who was sitting calmly watching everything in the room. Looking around the room herself she saw her other student with Kyo. "Thanks again."As she then stood near kyo but far enough to still be arms distance away. Crossing her arms she watched her two students closely seeing what else she could do to help them get ready for the chunnin exams. She then heard a loud bang and looked over at Kyo who had now just crushed a boulder for just sheer fun of it as she had probably guessed. "Showing off now are we?" Tilting her head to the side she smirked slightly. Looking back to the senju she pointed to Kaen. "Once you are done with your little training there i want you to run atleast 10 laps around the outside of this academy. Just to make it interesting Kaen here will be following you closely behind, if you dont want to get burned keep ahead of him." She then grinned a bit sadistically and looked to Kaen who was already prepped and ready, he loved the fact that he was a little speed demon when he wanted to be.
Kaen made like a light yipping bark sound slightly saying to the senju that he was ready to go whenever he was. His eyes were fixed on the movements waiting to make the first move. To Kaen this was just another speed training for this genin.
There was more to learn. He hadn't even scratched the surface on his eiseijutsu, both defensive and offensive. Just looking through the list of techniques made him roll his head back in a mixed amazement and annoyance; it'd be a long time before he was actually ready to fight in the field. He knew that he was probably considered powerful for a genin at the moment, but he didn't want to be powerful for a genin. These two Jounin teaching him; he wanted to be on their level, and further beyond that. He decided the best way of efficiency, at this point, was to finish mastering the Black Leg. That way, he'd have enough chakra control to not only massively chain wood technique to wood technique, but use the monster strength medical technique to empower his body consistently through the fight. With such a reliable slew of offense and defense, he felt that any other genin wouldn't stand a chance, and he was probably right.
The two techniques that were next in his itinerary were sort of confusing, but made sense if you thought about it, and of course viewed the conveniently placed diagram. He'd enter a handstand, and with a rising kick, smash at the opponent's ribcage. Then, following that, he'd quickly do a sort of pivot with his hands, spin around and smash at their lower back. It'd be something hard to perform in actual combat. In fact, he didn't really expect it to ever work, unless the target was heavily slowed or generally immobilized. However, if he used the Monster Leg eiseijutsu, these two kicks would obliterate the upper body. That was the plan. Executing this combo was becoming a little tricky. While any shinobi in the universe knew how to do a handstand, keeping it up and kicking them specifically in the ribs at the same time was a different matter. And it was also pretty nauseous, with the blood rushing to his head. He did manage it, though, and quickly tried to chain it into the other technique.
He spun around, sliding to the dummy's backside. However, his kick was out of place, only grazing the side of the "hip". He rebounded, and sighed. After a quick breath, he started over again, performing the initial rib kick, then spinning around and jabbing at the lower back with his foot. It seemed accurate enough, especially considering the dummy didn't really have the proper anatomy to judge this type of training. While somewhat lost in thought, Selene's voice caught his ear. He didn't exactly know how she expected him to keep up with her little fire abomination, considering he was a medical ninja with no speed training whatsoever. It wasn't that he decided to respond to, though. Instead, you could say he chose to taunt the other teacher. "Smashing a boulder is showing off to you guys?" The Senju focused chakra into his arm, and took a deep breath.
Learning: Strong Arm Technique It was similar to the healing hands technique, a strong surge of focused chakra. However, the amount of chakra was reduced, and so was the focus. There was no sound, either. It'd be easy to learn, and in fact he could probably do it on the spot, just to similarly 'show off', as the teacher did. He exhaled the breath from earlier, and a 'click' went off in his head. He pulled his arm back, and blasted through one of the boulders kept there for doton users. With a grin on his face, he turned back to look at the teacher. "As you can see, I'm designed for strength. Not for speed. But it's okay. Your whims are law, sensei." He rolled his eyes. Takahara wasn't really conscious of her threats, as he assumed she wouldn't physically hurt him unless beneficial to his training. Frankly, learning Eiseijutsu as a method of healing your own wounds was dangerous and could easily end in death. So she wouldn't do that. Plus, she just said to keep ahead. Never said he couldn't hinder the progress of her little puppy dog. Mokuton users were very talented at such things.
He made his way to the exit of the academy. Entering into the mass of wood along the wall, and exiting at the other side, he left very efficiently, rather than running through the halls like he did the first time. He was getting too tired for all of this walking s**t, and he still had to run ten laps. This teacher was trying to kill him. "Alright, I'm ready to start running."
The Jonin's laughter kinda startled Judau at first, sater all... What the flying hell!? Still, it soon was begining to fall into place. Judau's bet was mostly correct as he heard specks speak before digging his fingers into a giant boulder... And launching it upwards, probably higher that the kage's building went with a single hand. That was... Shocking. As he aproached again, speaking how sometimes it's all about focusing strength into a single point, the genin started to wonder where that rock ended up. One second later, he had the answer being crushed into dust by the one that lauched it upwards. Even if no derbris were lauched towards him, Judau still had to cover his face once the dust started to enter his nose and irritate his eyes. He heard Selene and what seemed to be the Senju... So he was back already. Huh. "Focusing it all... *cough* In one point, huh? Well, i don't think i can try crushing rocs as i am, but i can make a normally simple exercice with some complications."
[Sthrength Training 1/5] Another large boom called Judau's attention as a smaller, but still large bolder had a part of it blown away by the other genin... Was everyone around Judau ******** monstruous? Well... All the more reason to try to catch up. With his honed agility, the one that was trained strength would perform a handstand before forcing his fingers to push himself up with his feet perfectly in line with his body. The amount of trength used to do so was a tad bit hard to muster, not allowing his palms to touch the ground, just the tip of the fingers. Looking 'up', Judau spoke. "I suppose lifting myself would be a start... If i am to learn how to focus my strength, could you add weigths on top of my feet as i push the earth down? As far as balance go, i'm sure i can handle it." This was for starters... The genin had plans for what he would do after getting used to the position and weights. starting to move in 'push-ups', Judau turned to Selene "Seems it didn't take long, welcome back. In any case, once i'm done here, i would like to know if i have permission to move to the dojo. It seems Kyo could teach me a thing or two about Kenjutsu. You two okay with that?"
Kyo was a bit pleased with Judau's motivation to jump right into it. He was hoping that such a demonstration would show the genin what they would be able to obtain with their own hands. "Strength is a much simpler concept then you are making it out to be. See if you can break a rock with your own ability no matter how small, then you can obtain what I have just demonstrated to you. For example have you ever pushed your fingers into butter while cooking? Or perhaps the soil while gardening or planting something. If you think about it, no matter how big that mass of butter or soil was do you feel it would have been any harder to do so?"
Noticing Selene now by his side he turned the hue of his explanation to the everyone around him, not just Judau."See the size of what you do, it can be a very impressive display, but also how you use it is important too. Its amazing the amount of things you can do once you begin to master such things." Laying his left hand gently on Selene's shoulder as he was saying it. Leaning over a bit looking down her shirt while still talking to her."A woman of your physique should be able to appreciate such a thing, am I right?" Giving her a small wink while he waited hopefully for her to take hint and possibly like what she heard.
Selene looked to Kaen and nodded. She then looked to the senju with a slight smirk. "Get running then he will be right behind ya." Turning her attention the Judau she nodded. "No issues there." She then felt Kyo place his hand on her shoulder at first she got annoyed with the hand touching her but what followed after only sealed the guys fate."I wouldn't be boasting about your size in front of the kids."She then doubled up her fist without a second thought backing away just enough to get a good swing in. balling up her explosive chakra into her fist she struck at the side of Kyo's face once it made contact it would explode sending him a good distance away from where he once stood the explosion wasn't really needed but she thought it would be better then just a regular punch a little bit more of a impact so to speak. "And he's outta here!"She then giggled to herself watching the looks that were soon to be on her genin's face.
Kaen nipped at the boys heels getting him to run as he kept up with him. He enjoyed the feeling of running it made him feel good about being who he was. Keeping a lil bit of distance from the boy but just enough for him to feel the warmth from the flames now emitting from the foxes body. He looked like a tiny speeding meteor while running. It didn't take much energy out of Kaen though but hell running was running and it was fun right?
Kyo sighed a bit to himself as he saw her punch approaching his face. Her speed being much faster than his own he simply prepared for the blow. He took the fraction of a moment that he had before her attractive fist would kiss his head. Using his training he hardened his body to much tuffer substance than stone. Taking the blow to the side of his head he tried to roll some with the blow but it connected never the less. After the connection was made an explosion that of a grenade seemed to go off next to his ear. Making his hearing ring possibly louder than he has ever heard before. The explosion force send him flying off into the distance.
Quickly remembering that he had left his sword he yelled out during his flight to Judau. "Taaaaake caaaare oooff myyyyy swoooooor........" before his voice could no longer be heard by the genin. All that was left of Kyo in the area was his sword laying where he left it and his pair of glasses he was wearing laying near Selene on the ground shattered and bent.
Exits to (unknown)
Ishi Suji [ Stone Muscle ] Simple :: Rank S Through their vast training sessions, the user’s skin has become tempered and tough, and this technique further manipulates that fact. Before the user is hit by an oncoming attack, they will stop dead in their tracks, flexing their muscles. During this momentarily ironed out state, the user is capable of withstanding most any attack and brushing it off as if it were nothing. • Can only be used twice per battle.
The Senju couldn't seem to fathom the words being unleashed from Kyo's lips. They started off simple and preachy and then got really lewd and awkward, quickly. Luckily he exited through the wall before he could find a desk to slam his face into, after hearing that... genital joke. Shortly after exiting, he heard a large explosion noise, and poked his head back into the large room to see Kyo flying off. "He had it coming. That joke was terrible." Back outside, the little aborted puppy dog was biting at his heels. Guess he wanted to start running. Takahara stretched a bit, and then got into position. "Alright, go," he told 'Kaen', and started to run to the best of his ability. While Takahara may have been fast compared to regular people, for a shinobi, he was sort of slow. He doubted he could beat this thing unless he used... less legitimate tactics.
Still on the first lap, he started to quickly string handseals, and used the Wood Limb technique. Five massive tree roots came from the ground, and created a large wall surrounding Kaen, preventing him from continuing. While he could probably burn it down, it'd take a while, and probably keep him almost a whole lap behind Takahara. The Senju continued to run, though not as fast as he could. He was already low on stamina, so he'd have to go at only a mediocre pace if he didn't want to wear himself out and fall to the floor. Plus, with all the drinking he did earlier, he'd probably start to barf if he overworked himself. Instead of speeding by, he could even use this as an opportunity to practice the technique he'd studied earlier, which would certainly secure him the win. Probably.
He focused the chakra through his body, and slowed down slightly so that he could stabilize his breath; inhaling and exhaling. The energy in his system began to flow more cleanly, and it was probably partly due to his newer, much higher level of chakra control. Now, he just had to focus on exerting this clean and balanced chakra into the wood. From beneath Kaen, many very large tree roots grasped for him. While the process of wrapping around him was slow, the initial lunge to grab the victim was fairly fast. This was known as the Binding Nest technique, and if Kaen got caught in it, he'd be stuck for the entire 'race' that they were playing at. Unless he could burn through even this far thicker wood. "If you can get all fiery, then my talent is applicable too." He picked up the pace a little, though he seemed to be panting more than earlier.
(Step 1 of being time efficient: Use literally EVERY opportunity to train xD
Jubaku Eiso [ Binding Nest ] Rank B This technique lets the user summon a tree to slowly wrap and bind their opponent. This technique is relatively powerful and holds opponents much more gracefully, with less of a strain on the user, because the user sinks them into the ground. Afterwards, the user can enclose the opponent so that their body implodes. )

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this?
[strength training 2/5] Well, Kyo's explanations and wording were actually pretty decent, maybe he WAS better at this that Judau initially imagined. He supposed that his advice was true enough... And so Judau would continue to make his push ups. Since no weight was added thus far, the genin instead opted for something a bit more active by bending his waist to the sides as he moved down and straightening it as he went up. The shift in his center of gravity were putting further strain on his arms and upper body in general, but still manaheable. Judau could probably do this about thirty times to each side, but he didn't have such time before a terrible d**k joke almost froze him. Almost all respect he had for Kyo vanished that very second... Only for it to be replace by amazement over the sheer amount of balls it would take to make that innuendo to begin with, much less to someone like Selene. Still, respect was diferent from dignity.
[strength training 3/5] As Judau continued on towards the sixth couple of waist movements, a large explosion threw him almost off balance, forcing Judau to grasp the ground with all he had, hurting his fingers before his legs fell over and got him face first on the ground. This position was almost impossible to mantain, at a 45 degree angle. His face was sweating like never before, more of feaar that of phisical strain, even if the rain disguised it. Judau took a couple deep breaths before forcing himself back into position, now with a absolutely baffled expression. So THAT was what she meant some time ago. A bakuton user...
[strength training 4/5] With the extra strain placed by the little mishap with the explosive punch in the near vincity, Judau feared that he could only pull off twenty of the modified push ups without resorting to touching his palm on the floor. At least, if he intended to do the second part of the training, that is. On the tenth couple, the upside down ninja asked. "Is he... Aways like that? Not really a inspirational figure, even after the little show with the boulder. Even if Specks had a fame of flirtaceous and 'Don Juan', that thing he just witnissed was beyond anything imagined thus far. Fifteen It seemed the Senju medic was already at it with the fire fox, Judau couldn't help but wonder if Kaen would take it easy... If it moved as fast as it did durig the sebon training, it would be hard to keep up. Twenty
[strength training 5/5] Now it was time for the last part of the training. Judau was getting used to the strain used to keep himself from the earth already, so it was time to up the ante a bit further. Stoping his waist movements, Judau took his right hand out of the ground, the fingertips red-ish due a few scratches caused by the sudden movement earlier, placing across his back. Now it was time for five movements using a single arm. Within the first few seconds, Judau's left arm started to burn with the amount of work it was doing... Not enough to damage it, be Judau knew better that to try any harder that he already was. And if he was going too far, Selene would probably stop him. No use training genin so that they spent a week or so at the hospital waiting surgery. With the first arm done, it was time to change. The motion was probably the single hardest point of the training, and Judau waved a bit, but was capable of doing it. Taking a small ten second break, he re-started on his right arm.
"That was... Rough..." Judau tought, allowing himself to fall on his back to rest a bit. His arms were on fire and for once, he was glad the rain wasn't over, It was weakerm sure, but not complletely over, since the cold feeling helped to relief the muscles. He would stay like that for five solid minutes before he even felt like moving again. "I... *pant* I suppose i will be heading to the dojo now... I'l try to find Kyo on the way. Even if i lost most of my respect for him, he is still my best bet to further my skills with the sword. Any tips?" Grabbing Kyo's blade from the ground as he was requested, Judau started moving towards the exit of the academy, but he would wait by the door before leaving, until he got an answer from Selene.
Selene smiled some at what she had done. "He had it comming, And yea he is almost always like that. But he does mean well though." She then ran her hand through her hair as she let out a huge sigh as if she was getting tired herself. She then turned to the window looking outside watching the dull day still going on. Sighing again she nodded again to no one in particular "I guess I am gonna go get some fresh air I guess while you are training with Kyo. As for tips, just listen to everything he says, if he gets sidetracked smack him once for me."She then started walking towards the window wanting to just sit on the windowsill and clear her mind of everything.
Kaen's fire around his body heated up even more quickly making haste of the wood supposedly 'blocking' is path. It was not long before his flames caught the whole wood blockade in flames and it quickly turned to ash. He was not in a happy mood for what took place so he decided to not take it easy this time on the senju, body fully covered in flames that could easily give someone 2nd degree burns if they got too close. Taking off like a speeding bullet he caught up to the senju in no time teeth bared growling in his annoyance with this genin. He had a short fuse like his summoner and wouldn't think twice for tackling the kid.
The Senju quickly improvised, with the now angry little fire creature catching up to him. It seemed like it was going to attack him, too. He used the wood limbs technique to block the path, separating him and the fire creature. Then, he used the same technique again to create five standing roots across the 'track', and leaped from one root to another, in succession. Considering his lackluster speed, the momentum from jumping would probably get him across the laps more quickly. And the roots would help to slow the creature down, and not only that, but keep him away from the fire below. It wasn't exactly the most genius strategy in history, but it was better than getting burnt and losing. He continued down the laps, paying less and less mind to that thing the further he went. Takahara counted the number of rounds so far in his head; it looked like he was on... lap seven? Too bad there wasn't a finish line or anything. It was hard to keep up with counting while trying to avoid being melted, running while tipsy and tired.
"What was the point of this, anyway?" He asked himself. Selene was probably just trying to annoy him. Or maybe this was some kinda escape practice. Regardless, he'd be done soon, and with his tactic of using the wood pillars to remain over ground, he wouldn't get burnt even if the fire dog did pass him.
Kaen watched the senju do his little tricks to stay above ground. He then charged forward ahead of the senju and lit his paw on fire. with one simple motion he cut through the pillars he had made ahead of him to keep moving. thinking to himself that this isnt a race but if he wanted it to be he would of won already that this was a training session to help him increase his speed a little bit. Shaking his head he let out a loud yipping sound as he then took off for the last few laps making his way inside the academy again and over to Selene who was sitting at the bench by the windowsill her head leaning on her crossed arms. He growled a slight annoyance to her then vanished into the air with a poof saying he was done for the time being.
It didn't really matter how many times Kaen cut the pillars, he could just make more. Senju were all about quantity. More and more footholds came from the ground, the trees, and he continued on. While he didn't exactly win, he did at least manage to prevent himself from getting burnt. When the last lap was done, he jumped onto the roof, and sunk into a wooden panel, then made his way to the floor. "Done." He at least got a work out, of both his body and his chakra. At this point though, he was exhausted. Maybe there were some rooms in the academy for the real over-achievers where they could sleep and immediately get back to training in the morning. He wouldn't bother to ask Selene, as he'd never really heard anything from her but threats. Doubted that would change if he became inquisitive. "What's next, then? I'm thinking I should learn some more eiseijutsu. Believe it or not, there's more in this list than just healing." Or... "Or maybe I could fight that other genin -- Judau. We've both been training for just as long. Maybe we can see who's been training better?" He grinned. It'd be nice to see if he was anything more special than the other genin around here.
(Does that count as the five posts for speed training then? xD)
Judau was meaning about where to look for Kyo, but that worked too... He DID know what he was talking about, but that flirt was just... Just... Traumatically bad. Before he could leave to search tought, Judau heard Takahata's challenge. It was... Rater dangerous. Judau had above average body training, but not too many techniques other that passing memories of the mist sword style below C rank and Shunkan no Hagane up to D while the Senju was diligent in his Kekkei Genkai... Well, maybe it would be a chance to train those. He'd take it. "Well... Sure. I do belive you trained a bit more as far as combat goes but no better training that facing someone else. I'l take up your offer under one condition. I belive you could make a wooden sword to me, couldn't ya? Making this a single strike battle wouldn't be too interesting to either of us. Placing Kyo's Odachi against the wall, Judau took off the stealths for his usual swords... They would be just added weigth under these conditions. "If not, i can aways try to diminish the Mizu Yaiba's cutting power... Whatever works." Selene was nearby anyway, so nothing too serious ould happen. Maybe a broken bone or a deep gash, but hardly anything permanent...
Judau seemed to have some inhibitions about the training, whether the danger or the thought of losing. He didn't see why, though. It wasn't a fight of any grave importance. "There's nothing safer than sparring a medic. Anything you can do to me, I can heal. Same for whatever I can do to you." He smiled reassuringly, and opened his ears to listen. Judau wanted him to make a wooden sword for him? "I guess I could do that," he shrugged. Out of his chest popped out a wooden blade, and he tossed it to the other genin. "Though frankly I'd never want to fight a Senju with a wooden sword. It can be used against you." He was almost tempted to do that right then and there, but it wouldn't be much of a spar if he did. "I won't cheat like that, though. You did, after all, only want to go wooden to ensure you didn't kill me. How selfless of you." Takahara finished speaking there, and then readied his stance. Since he had an immense amount of chakra control, he could continuously unleash technique after technique. So, he decided that he'd start first. From all around Judau, five extremely large root-like pillars of wood attempted to tackle him. In the meanwhile, Takahara began to charge forward, his fist laced in chakra.
[Basic Block - Shunkan no Hagane 1/1] Taking the wooden sword that was created and thrown towards him, Judau held it in the Shunkan no Hagane stance... Time to revert to basics, as that style was focused on defense early on. "Come on, if you cheated, wouldn't it mean victory would not be real? I can always go for the plan B i just mentioned on that ocasion." Concidering the other genin's expression, Judau was right to stay in the defensive, specially when he was attacked on six fronts. The wooden pillars were pretty slow, but they were big and numerous, It would be too hard to dodge them... So instead, Judau would charge! The Senju wouldn't hit himself, now would he? Concetrating on his muscle memory, Judau dashed foward with intend on advoiding the initial barrage before he was able to send his own attacks. For now, it was defending. Utilizing the sword's side, Judau sightly deflected Tekahata's punch, but the weapon was damaged by doing so... A chunk of wood was dented in and pretty much broke the blade, but it was enough, the dash and block allowed Judau to clear past his oponent with little more that a sharp pain to his left palm. Quickly making a hand seal, a water sword apeared on his hand, preparing to seee if the wooden pillars would go after him. Concidering that he had to balance himself to make a hand seal, chances of advoiding something was low... It depended upon minimmizing impact now... Judau waited instead of charging upon Taka's back because he didn't know about the Tree limb jutsu's range limitation.
