Belamos huffed under his breath and shrugged "Yes yes yes, you are right. So, let's get to it then. I'll continue my training and I suggest you begin yours. Then we can undertake some of this villages pathetic missions and begin our rise to power. It would also behoove us to train together near each other, that way we can better understand each other's capabilities. Maybe come up with some combinations" At this Belamos would move to the end of the practice area and pull out a few scrolls for both of them, tossing one to Vivian. It was time to get to work
Time to get into the Katon Ninjutsu once again. The first technique he would attempt was the Ember Clone. If he mastered that it would open up the avenue for a lot more combinations. Running through the hand signs he cast the jutsu. In a second there stood a exact replica of himself. Testing the clone out, he found it to be much weaker than himself. Disappointing, but he could work with it. The next one he would learn would be his escape skill. By working through the hand signs he would be able to teleport in a pillar of fire. He weaved through them and cast the jutsu. In a second he vanished form his spot and reappeared a short distance away. Nearly instant, he would be able to use it at a moments notice. The next attack would be a purely offensive technique. Weaving through the hand seals, Belamos would exhale. As he did so 10 small fireballs came into existence. Directing them, he would have them crash into a target a few meters away. This jutsu was pretty simple, and he mastered it pretty quickly. Time to move on to the next one. The next technique was very odd. Weaving through hand signs he would spit up silver globs of material. The material, reflective, stood static on the ground. With a snap of his fingers one of them ignited from a spark and, thus, ignited the rest in a large explosion. It was very effective as they could set up even larger attacks. The next attack let him let loose a large amount of colorless, odorless gas. It was extremely flammable that he could ignite whenever he wanted. The gas would cause a large explosion and instantly ignite. Weaving through the hand signs he exhaled the gas. With another snap of his fingers it ignited. It was a useful technique as it was not directly offensive. It was a very sneaky attack that he could use to the best of his ability. He had quiet a few down, but still had a ways to go. The next attack was an unrelenting attack, plain and simple. He would run through the hand signs and knead the chakra. Releasing it in one go, he would exhale a large stream of fire. He wasn't done there yet though. There was an augmentation attack for this jutsu. Instead of one stream, it would be three. He added the necessary hand signs and cast the augmentation for the jutsu. Instead of one stream it split into three that he could control. It was a powerful attack that he could make even more so and would likely become a staple in his combat strategies. The next attack was another clone technique. Thankfully, it was much stronger than the last one. Pumping the chakra into the attack, he weaved through the hand signs. In a mere second another replica of himself stood before him. He ordered the clone to move far away from him and hefted his spear. With a quick toss, he put the spear through the belly of the clone. In a second, the clone blew up with a fiery explosion. This would probably be the only clone jutsu he used, as the last one was simply way too weak. The last fire technique he would learn would be one he could use with his spear. By swining his swpear he would be able to shoot off a trail of fire. Neat. He grabbed his spear and swung it, kneading the chakra as he was instructed. As soon as he did so fire spring off. The wave splashed against the wall and spread before he quickly capped it. He could use this with his weapon styles. It was a very versitile technique. He practiced it a few more times before he felt like he had it down pact. He needed to work on his spearwork. By taking his lance, he would go through a improvised series of movements. He liked this; it was relaxing. He could make things up as he go and work on new techniques. It was a good way to end the training session. He spun, flipped, and stabbed with his trusted weapon. One session down. He continued training and fought off the tiredness he was feeling. He could not falter in front of Vivian, for her opinion of him was meaningful to him. He continued working with the spear and stabbing as fast as he could. He was getting stronger and quicker, something that made him happy. He was starting to get to the point where he could call himself a master of the lance indeed.

Taking a break from his training, Belamos walked to the bathroom. Once he arrived, though, he found the bathroom was defaced with Graffiti 'Uncivilized Mongrels" He growled. He snapped his fingers and lit a flam upon his thumb. Getting a bowl of water, he began to heat up the bowl. After it was appropriately hot, he began to scrub the Graffiti off the wall. He was upset he was reduced to doing this, but he spent a lot of time in this academy and to see people treat it such enraged him. This place was his domain so an attack on him was an attack on himself. Just as he was finishing cleaning up, a couple of kids with cans of spray paint entered behind him. They stopped dead in their tracks as they saw him. Turning to face them, he spoke lowly and clearly "I see...so it was you" Moving quickly, he disarmed all three of the children and sent them flying out the door. As he attacked them, he lit their shift sleeves on fire. This panicked them and sent them running. Belamos called out after them "And stay away you cretins!" Taking a look at the spray paint, he had an idea. If there was going to be a defacement, might as well make it proper. He grabbed the canes and stepped to the nearest wall. After an hour or so, he had drew a giant flaming spear on the wall. It was a testament to both him, and his father. People would now know who rules this area, and indeed, this village.

As Belamos continued his training, he began to notice something odd. The automated hit dummies, and target dummies were beginning to falter. He had overused them far too much without giving them time to be repaired. He knew how long it could take for the maintenance staff to get to this kind of work, so he took it upon himself to do it by himself. Stripping off the top layer of clothing, he retrieved a set of tools and got to work. The first thing would be to replace the outer layer of the targets armor. That was simple enough, but attaching the new layer proved to be a little challenge. Reattatching the dummies to their spring loaded firing mechanisms was also more challenging then he thought. All in all, the job took him a little over an hour. He was sweaty, and tired by the end of it, but he had fixed all the mechanisms in the academy. Putting the tools and such up, he resumed his work out schedule and tested the newly fixed apparatus. It seemed to be working perfectly.
As he continued his workout, one of the junior instructors for the academy approached him "Uhm....Mr. Karna" Turning on the man with anger in his eyes, he snapped at him "What, dog?". The man, sheepishly, replied "Uh...well, we have an issue here at the Academy. We are doing a Ninjutsu display and our main event dropped out. We were hoping you could display some of your Fire to show the Academy Students what power they can gain here" Belamos sighed. It seemed the common masses wished to gawk at his magnificence "Fine. I will show my glory to the lesser folk" Following the promoter to the stage. Belamos took his part at center stage. Once cued, he inhaled deeply and exhaled a large torrent of flame into the air, amazing the assembled crowd. He did some other basic fire attacks as the people gawked and concluded it quickly. Once the show was over, he collected his pay, ordered them to never bother him with this level of triviality again, and continued his training.
As soon as he got back, another peon was waiting for him. This one seemed to want Belamos to test out an obstacle course. Finally, a task he could get behind. Belamos followed the man to the starting line and, when given the mark, began. He started out with stabbing a few dummies before scaling a low wall. Unleashing a fireball, he struck a hanging target and then scaled a small tower. Once at the top, he jumped off and threw his spear to the nearest dummy, impaling it. As soon as he landed he let out a couple more fireballs, striking more targets. The final stretch was dodging some automated Kunai launchers. He knocked all the projectiles aside with his staff which he had retrieved and completed the course "Hmph, needs work. Try adding in some starved dogs or something. This is not worthy of my patronage until improved upon" With a flick of his hand, he burned all the wooden structures to the ground as punishment for disappointing him.

Someone was stealing from him. He had a high suspicion of it at least. The amount of training materials he was being given seemed to be going down. He headed to the supply room to try and sort this mess out for himself. He took a clipboard and started counting out training swords, dummies and kunai. It was tedious, but tedious work needed to be done. He could not abide by someone breaking the law, especially when they slighted him. He would find the thief and burn his hands to the bone. As he counted, he imagined the methods of execution he would enact upon the poor prisoner. Just as he went through this fantasy, he indeed came up short on the weapons count. Someone indeed had been stealing from him, and the academy at large. He could pass this information onto the authorities...or deal with it himself. He chose the latter on this venture. He would have some fun with this later, but for now, back to target practice.
Target practice was simple, it was familiar, and he was good at it. He practiced by throwing his spear at targets. He aimed for the head, and chest. It was hard going at first, as he had the targets move. Eventually he adjusted and dialed the throws in. It didn't take long for him to adjust, and he felt much more confident as a lance weilder after he could nail a man's head at 30 meters. He kept throwing until he could punch right through the wood. It was getting to where he was growing strong. Horace's days were numbers. Moving on to Katon ninjutsu, he practiced throwing fireballs at people. He would aim for the moving targets. Throwing non-physical jutsu was more difficult than a physical spear, but it was more inwardly challenging than outwardly. He had to have more chakra control. It directed the course of the jutsu. Eventually he got it down though and had completed his target practice. His accuracy grew substantially higher now. It was time to move on to more practical missions.
The weeds of the academy were overgrown, as was most of the garden. He was asked to take care of it. Big mistake. Belamos exited the Academy and balled up his fist, angry that he was asked to do such a menial task. With his anger, his flames grew. With a wave of his hand the fire in his body exploded outwards and scourched the landscape. All the weeds, as well as the grass, instantly withered and died. As he returned to the mission giver to report it was done, he stifled any complaints with a swift back hand "You fool! You do NOT ask a King to pull weeds! You should be thankful I did not kill you for your impertinence" At this, all forms of protest silenced. Belamos returned to his training in peace, enjoying the smell of the freshly burned lawn outside.

Belamos was starting to gain not insignificant renown throughout the village for his aid rendered to the academy. People knew that this was where he resided and that if people wanted his aid they had to come here to petition for it. That made the man who came and informed him of some serious missing property at the academy all the more worrying. Apparently there were quiet a few instances of training dummies being taken from the academies storehouses. The instructor led Belamos to where the dummies had been and at his request "It seems they were taken last night but, for the life of me, I cannot begin to understand why anyone would want to steal these wooden mannequins" Belamos held up a hand to silence him as he gazed around the room "Your job isn't to understand, that would be mine" Kneeling to the ground, Belamos examined the ground and noticed faint but deep drag marks. It seemed that whoever did this lacked the strength to pick up the dummies and walk away with them. Furthermore, the man was right. Who would bother to steal these wooden things anyways? Whomever did this did it less to aquire anything as they did to take something from the academy: this insinuated a personal connection and a history of being wronged by the academy. Belamos stood and scratched his chin "Have you recently failed any students? Perhaps, not the usual way?" The man thought for a second before replying "Yes, we recently had to expel a group for cheating" He noticed weak traps set, which he began to disarm. It was simple, and very novice-like. Easily disarmed, he continued his investigation. At this Belamos nodded and started following the scratch marks. He eventually tracked them back to the academy's swimming pool. There, at the bottom of the pool, were the wooden training dummies. It seems that the disgruntled students attempted to try to ruin the training supplies and get back at their teachers by making them retrieve these things.
Belamos would place his spear into the wall and roll up his sleeves. The attendant seemed to give into a bit of stress "How are we gonna get all that out?! Those things weigh a ton!" At this, Belamos extended his hand over the pool and took a deep breath. Suddenly a jet of fire extended from his hand, scorching the top of the water. As he continued his torrent of flames, the water began to boil away with surprising speed. When the water was only about knee high Belamos jumped down into the pool and scooped up the wooden training dummies. He would then throw them out of the pool to the attendant at the top. Climbing back up, Belamos addressed the man "Refill the pool. Discipline the kids. Don't make me have to return over this" At this Belamos left, returning to his training. These things were starting to get tedious.

It was one of the times Belamos felt a sense of sadness over. Many Civilians had recently been killed in an Earthquake and a great funeral for them was being held outside of the Academy in the assembling area. Belamos, as the head instructors request, attended in order to perform the last rites. He stood silently as the procession was carried out. He waited silently, patiently. Finally, when it was his turn to approach the stage, he did so. He took the stage and stood atop the higher area. He looked down upon the many coffins and extended his hand out. As he did so many tiny pillars of fire erupted around the coffins. All the pyres erupted in fire and burned in a solemn dignity. Belamos bowed his head in respect 'You did nothing, yet the world took you. My vassels, I am sorry.' Belamos excused himself and withdrew from the ceremony as it closed. He did not feel well. He needed to get back to doing work. He needed to get stronger to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. He now had orders to actually do something proactive. They had whispers that there may be a bandit raid on the village sometime soon, and it was his job to defend the academy should that happen. In line with that, he was to build up defenses at the academy. Belamos cracked the whip and got people moving, boarding up windows and reinforcing doors. He had iron replaced the wood namely. He then had men stationed on the roof's with bows, under Vivian's care of course. All the training weapons were temporarily replaced with real weapons. The academy students drilled evacuation plans and the instructors were given battle plans. All in all, he fortified the Academy as best he could in the event of an attack. All he had to do now was lead from the front if one came. God help whoever tried to take his place of training from him, for he would smite them would a powerful wrath. It only took a few short hours for their intelligence to be confirmed. A bandit scout team was seen snooping around. Belamos evacuated the students, took the instructors and road out to meet them. He found a group of 5 scouts snooping around the academy's library, trying to gather information. Belamos and the instructors started to engage them, fighting tooth and nail. He burned a few, stabbed more, and watched as the last one tried to retreat. In a poof of flame, Belamos reappeared in front of the retreating Shinobi. He cut him off, and stared him down. Without saying a word, he raised his hand "To ash, mongrel" And blew the aggressor away. Soon, the problem was resolved and the academy returned to normal. He had defended his home

Belamos sat down to meditate and reflect on his growth thus far. He found a nice quiet area in the training assembly area and sat down to meditate. In his quiet solitude, he reflected upon his development and his motivation for training. He wanted to rule; it was his right and his destiny. His father had not left him any doubt as to what his path was. These lesser beings were his to command. The pretender, Horace, He would grow and gain the ability to strike him down. Eventually, that is. For now, back to training. He practiced his chakra control while he meditated. He needed to push his levels and get better and growing and maintaining his supply of chakra. Fire, as he was, was hard to control and famously wild. He needed to harness his own inner fire in order to make the results he wished for come to pass. He practiced running through different handsigns, trying to master them all. His mind raced through all of the techniques she learned earlier. There were so many techniques he learned, and so many techniques he memorized for later. Each one was like a book on a shelf in a giant library. He was able to see all of the books and knew exactly how were supposed to be performed. That was the miracle of meditation. He was getting better at recognizing the amount of chakra needed for a situation. Not only that, but he was getting proficient using the exact amount required. His meditation pushed his limits and made it so that his reserve was increased. He could feel his physical body strength increasing. He performed a couple techniques. By using these techniques he was getting a better feel for them. It was getting to the point where he inherently knew what he should do for them. His power, his strength- it was growing. His happiness at this fact was no small thing. With new found power he arose from his seated mediations. Fire circled around him and with a cry of joy he shot it out. He was becoming the shinobi he needed to be. Now he just needed a real test. With a handsign he created a clone which he sent off to Horace, requesting a promotion.

Vivian wanted to start her training by learning some of her bloodline as that would be important to learn. However, before she could begin she would have to learn how to enhance her clay with chakra in order to create explosives. The girl would place her right hand into the bag on her right-hand side and take out a small lump of clay. Then she would place her hand in front of her and look at it, thinking how it would work. ’Hmm.’ Vivian would slowly open the mouth on her hand and take the piece of clay into the mouth. The mouth would slowly start to chew it, making the clay a little softer and easier to mold. It seemed like an easy enough task but, this was the basis of all her bloodline jutsu so she had to make sure to do this correctly. As the mouth slowly chewed the clay, Vivian would start to feed chakra into the clay. The girl started with a small amount as she didn’t want to over whelm herself and make it harder than it needed to be. As soon as the clay started to receive chakra, it was more difficult for her to have the mouth chew it up. Vivian would focus harder and push her hand to chew the clay up more, adding more chakra as she did so. After a while of chewing, Vivian would use the mouth’s tongue to force out the clay into her palm. ’Hmm looks good enough to me.’ The girl thought to herself and put it away. However, she wasn’t done yet as she needed to make sure that she could do this with the other two mouths on her body as well. With that in mind, Vivian reached her left hand down into her other bag and pulled out another ball of Clay. It was pretty much the same process as before. The clay went into the mouth and started to be chewed up to soften it and make it malleable. Then as it was softened, Vivian added Chakra to the Saliva to enhance the clay and give it, it’s explosive quality. It seemed to be easier in the left hand but, that may have been mostly because she had already been doing it with her right hand. Once again, the clay would be forced out of the mouth and put back in her bag. There was only one mouth left but, it was in somewhat of in an embarrassing place. Vivian would slowly unbutton the front of her shirt so that the mouth was visible on her chest, just above her breasts. Once it was visible she would take a ball of clay from each bag and place the clay into the mouth. It was harder for her to get this mouth to chew on the clay but, over time she managed to get it to chew like the other hands. It may have had something to do with how much clay she placed in the mouth but, she had to get used to using a lot. Vivian focused harder, getting the mouth to open and close it’s teeth on the clay. Eventually she would do as she had been doing and add chakra to the clay. The chakra would be mixed in rather easily as she moved the chakra into the mouth, eventually having a piece of workable clay to use for explosions.
Once Vivian was completed with her last training, she would button up her shirt again and begin to focus on the next jutsu. Vivian would take a ball of clay out of her bag and immediately place it in the chakra mouth. Over a few moments she would chew up the clay and enhance it with the chakra needed for the jutsu. However, at the same time she would break up the clay so that it was in five different pieces, rolling each piece into a ball with the tongue. The chakra would mix it’s way in to give each piece of clay it’s explosive property. Once she had thoroughly mixed each ball, the balls would all be force out of the mouth and into her palm. Vivian looked around for a moment and found a dummy to throw them at. The girl moved her hand back and slung them at the dummy, each one exploding on impact and destroying the dummy.
(Mission: Learn a Jutsu! Complete) (Bakuton: Baku Tama [ Explosive Release: Explosive Bullets ] E Rank Learned)
The next jutsu Vivian was to learn would be over all a lot more useful as it was used to make creatures who still retained their abilities. Such as a bird could fly, and a spider can crawl on walls. Vivian thought for a moment as she placed her hand into the bag of chakra and pulled out a lump. ’Hmm seems Belamos is doing well with his training, I better hurry up so I don’t get left behind.’ The girl’s mouth on her right hand would take the clay into it and immediately start chewing up the clay. It would take longer to chew up the clay as it needed to be more malleable and flexible to allow the creatures to move like an actual animal or insect would. Once the clay was chewed up enough, Vivian would slowly use the teeth, tongue and chakra to form the body. It took a lot more effort as she needed to mold the creature just right. However, after a while, the tongue would push out a bird made of the clay. It would fly from her hand and at another dummy, exploding as well.
(Mission: Learn a Jutsu! Complete) (Shī Wan [ C1 ] D Rank Learned)
Vivian watched as the dummy exploded in front of her. However, she was quick to get to her next jutsu. This time she decided to use her left hand as her right hand was getting a little tired from chewing up so much clay. Her hand would go into the bag of clay and start chewing it up. This jutsu was able to be used as a trap or to be flung at someone. It was up to the user’s imagination. Vivian chewed up the chakra, sighing softly as she did so. It was somewhat of a tedious task but, it was worth the conclusion. Once it was all chewed up, Vivian would slowly push the clay out of her hand. It would be one long string of clay in the form of a whip. The girl would move her hand back and quickly push it forward to get the whip to lash out as a dummy. Once the whip touched the dummy, it would wrap around the dummy and explode.
(Mission: Learn a Jutsu! Complete) (Bakuton: Tekidan Sanjaku [ Explosive Release: Grenade Belt ] C Rank Learned)
The next jutsu seemed to be one that would be much harder to perform. Mostly because it required more chakra. Not only that but, she would have to use both of her hands to get all the clay she needs. Vivian placed both of her hands in the clay bags that she had and took out a lump for both hands. Each piece of clay would be taken into a separate mouth and start to be chewed. It was somewhat difficult for her to focus on each of the tasks. It would only become more complex as she had to form hand seals at the same time. Vivian brought both of her hands up in front of her, starting to form the hand seals. She was slow as it was somewhat difficult to keep the mouth’s chewing the clay while she was simultaneously forming the hand seals required for the jutsu. Vivian wanted to make sure that she didn’t make a single mistake. After all, she could be a sort of a perfectionist. Each of the hand seals would end on a rat seal. Once the seal was made she would open up her hands, the clay slowly falling out the mouths. Vivian remained keeping her focus on the clay, using the chakra inside to move it. It would slowly move across the ground towards a dummy. As soon as it was about a foot away it would suddenly spring from it’s position up at the dummy, hitting it in the chest. The clay would then wrap around the dummy’s chest, expanding over it before exploding.
(Bakuton: Hedoro [ Explosive Release: Sludge ] B Rank Learned) (Performance completed) Vivian was done with training her bakuton for the moment so she decided it would be a good idea to learn some of the sensory jutsus that she was able to perform. Vivian would pull out one of the arrows on her back. Once it was out, she would start to form a couple hand seals. Once the hand seals were complete she would place her hands on the arrow, pushing chakra into the arrow. The arrow would then be imbued with the chakra so that she could feel where it was for an extended amount of time. This way she could find it or track it if necessary.
(Noroshi [ Signal Fire ] E Rank Learned)
The next jutsu Vivian wanted to learn was a jutsu used to evade and get places quicker. Not only this but, she would be able to sense the area around her and gain information about it. Vivian would form a few hand seals. Once the hand seals were complete, she would suddenly disappear with nothing covering her disappearance. The girl would then appear a few feet from where she was previously, information from in the academy and a little way a way showing for her. This made the girl smile softly as she was able to feel the chakra presences around her as well as knowing different details.
(Kenchiki: Shunshin [ Sensor: Body Flicker ] D Rank Learned)
The next jutsu, Vivian would have to stand still to sense a large area around her. It was a complex jutsu but, it would be worth learning in the end. The girl took a deep breath as she opened the scroll that was flung to her by Belamos. She would look through it, finding the jutsu she wanted to learn. The girl would start to read it. It was a lot more complex than what she was used to but, with some practice she knew she would be able to perform it. However, she would continue studying the scroll so that she had it engrained in her brain for when she went to practice it. After a while, Vivian would bring the scroll over to a table and laid it down in front of her. This was so that she could look down at it if she needed to look at something again. Once it was placed she would form hand seals, like the scroll had dictated. Once she got to the last hand seal she would hold it. With the hand seal she would focus her chakra outwards so that it enveloped the area. However, it was hard for her to push her chakra out this far, having to focus on getting her chakra to go out as far as possible. It took her a while of focusing but, the area would be forced out to a long distance away. Once it was as far as she liked, she would start to focus on drawing information from the field. At first, nothing but, as she focused more and more information became easier for her to identify. The girl saw civilians, Belamo’s chakra, and several other chakra strains. Vivian would then let go of the hand seal, the field staying for a moment before it would disappear.
(Kagura Shingan [ Kagura Mind's Eye ] B Rank Learned)
Another jutsu Vivian wanted to learn was much like the previous but, a shorter range and mostly used to find hidden attackers. Like before Vivian found the jutsu in a scroll and started to study it. It seemed like an easy enough jutsu, especially after the last one. The girl took the time to read the jutsu over, slowly practicing the hand seals as she did so. Vivian practiced the hand seals several times before she was ready to practice the real thing. She would place the scroll in front of her once again, starting to form the handseals and mold her chakra. The girl would then finish the hand seals and move the chakra down to her feet. Once it was at her heels she would tap her heels together. This would cause the chakra to expand out over the area that she was in. It was much further than the normal person would be able to. In this area she would be able to find any hidden observers or people that were trying to hide. The barrier would move out slowly at first as she focused on pushing it out but, after a while it would be a full eighty meters around her, allowing her to gain a lot of information from anyone that was in the field.
(Kekkai: Tengai Houjin [ Barrier: Dome Method Formation ] B Rank Learned) (Performance completed) Vivian next drew her bow and got ready to train some bukijutsu. However, before she could begin the girl had to study it as she was not very adept in Bukijutsu. The girl walked over to the scrolls and picked out a few pertaining to the Uwame bukijutsu stlye. The first thing it talked about was how to stand for drawing the bow. Vivian moved her finger along the words as she read them. ’Hmmm seems simple enough.’ The girl thought to herself. She would then continue reading to the next part of it. It was talking about how to draw the bow correctly. Vivian had used her bow before but, not in the way it was describing. It seemed it wanted you to use some chakra as well to reinforce your body and allow you to put more strength into drawing the bow. It was another thing that Vivian figured she would be able to do pretty easily. The third technique of the stage was placing a tracer type chakra signature on the tip of an arrow. It would require sending chakra through the arrow and into the tip. It seemed easy enough but, it was something Vivian had never done before. The girl took the time to read over the scroll again just in case she missed anything before picking her bow back up. The girl would then move into the stance that the scroll had discussed. It was a little awkward at first but, she set herself up, so she was aiming towards a dummy. Once she had gotten the stand down, she would pull an arrow out of the quiver and knocked it into place. Vivian would then send chakra to her shoulders and arms to help her in drawing back the arrow. The girl found that it was much easier using the little bit of chakra to help her draw the arrow. Once the arrow was fully drawn, Vivian would start sending chakra to the tip of the arrow. The girl found this to be a little harder than she first realized. She would focus harder and keep pushing the chakra through the arrow, adding more chakra when necessary to get the desired effect. Once it was in the tip she would use the chakra to get it to start glowing. With all of this done, she would release the arrow and watch as it hit the dummy in the chest.
(Uwame: Stage 1 learned)
With the first stage of the bukijutsu learned, Vivian quickly moved onto the second stage. This was when things started to get more complicated and harder for Vivian to understand. Not so much so that she wouldn’t be able to do it, just difficult enough that it would take more time for her to learn. Vivian opened up a scroll again and began reading. The first technique was used to quickly knock arrows into the bow in order to shoot them faster. Vivian spent some time reading this over, making sure to read every line thoroughly enough that it would be in her mind for when she went to practice the technique. Once she was finished reading the technique over and over, she moved onto the next one. It was another technique that would be rather useful for her. Especially since she was a sensor. It dealt with sending chakra to the eyes and enhancing her vision, so she could see farther. The scroll had a lot of detail on the subject and how it was best to use your chakra. Vivian read over the technique several times before moving onto the next technique. Like the last stage, there was only three techniques, so this was the last one for her to study before trying. The technique dealt with creating arrows out of ninjutsu. A useful technique if she ran out of arrows while fighting someone or in the middle of a mission. However, it wasn’t like most ninjutsu however. It seemed more complicated because it was primarily a buikijutsu. Vivian figured it would be easier for someone who primarily dealt with bukijutsu. Or someone like Belamos who used both ninjutsu and bukijutsu. Vivian read over the jutsu several times to fully grasp the concept. Vivian took a deep breath and pulled up her bow once again. The girl then got into the stance from the previous stage and prepared to attempt the techniques that she had just learned about. Vivian sent chakra into her arm and used it to enhance her speed. Once the chakra was sent through her arm she would quickly move her arm back and grab an arrow, knocking it soon after. Once she had done this, she would then send chakra to her eye. The technique said she should be able to see a hundred meters from where she was and help her hit a target that far. However, Vivian found that she was able to see much farther, about four hundred meters to be exact. The technique itself took time for her to adjust her vision with the chakra. After a moment she had her vision set so she could see across the training area. Vivian released the arrow that she had in the bow already and sent it flying at a dummy, hitting it square in the chest. However, she wasn’t finished. She had to make an arrow out of pure chakra. The girl used both of her hands to pulse chakra in between each other. This would cause, at first, a thin line of chakra to appear between the two. She would continue to pulse this chakra, causing the line to become thicker in the bow. It would only get thicker until it started to take the shape of an arrow. Vivian smiled softly and gripped the solid arrow between her two fingers, drawing it back. She would then release the arrow, allowing it to fly at the same dummy as before.
(Uwame: Stage 2 Learned)
Vivian set her bow back down and picked up the scroll that she had been reading for the last two stages. The stage seemed to be focus on the more advanced usages of a bow, specifically on using multiple arrows in one go. Vivian read over the first technique. It seemed to mostly be practicing using the multiple arrows and being able to use a technique multiple times. The main thing that caught her eye was that the skill could be used to create multiple arrows at the same time with at technique that Vivian had learned previously. The girl focused on this skill specifically as it was going to have the most practical uses in the long run. So, she would read over it over and over to get a full grasp of exactly what she needed to do to multitask in the most efficient matter. However, she didn’t want to spend too much time on the training, so she moved her eyes down a bit to start reading the other part of the stage. It was a basic concept of shooting multiple arrows at the same time. The girl would have to practice this stage a lot it seemed as she wasn’t completely confident in her ability to replicate these techniques. Vivian took a deep breath as she read the two-shot spread technique. The girl was getting exhausted but, she had to keep training. Vivian rubbed her eyes for a moment and refocused herself on the technique, thinking out the logistics. She would likely have to practice this technique several times to get the best result. Vivian moved onto the next technique as soon as she felt she had a good grasp of the current technique. ’Wailing Specter. Hmm interesting name.’ Vivian thought to herself as she started to read the technique. It would make use of her ninjutsu/genjutsu ability. The girl would have to give an arrow a sound jutsu or genjutsu to cause it to make a loud noise while it was going through the air. Specifically, to hide where she would be hiding in the scenario that she was hiding from someone. It seemed like a very practical jutsu. However, she would have to practice using bukijutsu and ninjutsu at the same time for the best effect. It was another technique she was sure she was going to have to practice a lot. However, she continued reading the technique. She wanted to make sure she didn’t miss a single detail in her readings or she wouldn’t be able to reproduce the techniques as well as they should be. Vivian’s eyes shifted down once again to the next technique. It was another stance to be used while shooting arrows. However, this one was more about hiding than the previous ones. The stance looked to be somewhat of an awkward one to shoot from as you had to be in a crouched position. Vivian shrugged a bit. The girl didn’t read too much on this one as it seemed simple enough and she would have to practice that one in order for it to work. Vivian then started to read the next technique. This one seemed useful if you had to run away from something or someone. The girl would have to send chakra into her legs to allow her to run at a great speed. Which over all seemed pretty useful. Especially for escape. Vivian figured that she would probably be able to do this jutsu easily as it seemed to follow the same basic concept as most ninjutsu. However, she read over it for a moment to get a better understanding of it. Some of the wording confused her as it was a bukijutsu. She wished she was more knowledgeable in the field but, she wasn’t so she would just have to keep studying until she knew the techniques like the back of her hand. However, now that the girl had thoroughly read through all of the techniques on this stage, it was time to practice them. Vivian picked up her bow again and started to crouch down. The girl nearly lost balance at first but managed to catch herself with her left hand. Vivian sighed softly and stood up. She would then start to crouch again, this time she would slowly move her leg out to balance herself and stop herself from falling. The girl would continue to move down until she was in a fully crouched position with her left leg placed out in front of her. She would then bring up her bow and place it in front of her, drawing the bow slightly and getting it in a position that was comfortable for her. It was a rather awkward position but, Vivian would continue to move it around until she found a good position for her to have it in. The girl then would pull two arrows from her quiver and knock both of them. She needed to practice shooting more than one arrow at a time so she pulled the arrows back and let go, however the two dummies she was aiming for were completely missed. Vivian sighed softly and knocked two more arrows. ’Let’s try that again.’ Vivian thought to herself as she pulled the bow string back, this time adjusting how she was holding each of the arrows. Vivian would then release the bow string, watching the arrows fly both in separate ways, again missing what she was aiming for. Vivian would continue to practice this several times until she had it down. Vivian would then stand up and course chakra into her legs. At first it had no effect but, she would attempt to use it to strengthen her leg muscles to get her to run faster. Vivian would take off at a sprint at first but, continue to course the chakra through her legs. As the chakra coursed through her legs, she would find that she was running faster. A little at first but, soon enough she was running much faster, faster than she had ever run before. ’Damn that was fast. The girl thought to herself as she pulled up her bow again and attempted to quickly knock more than one arrow at the same time by multitasking. The girl failed the first time but, she attempted it a couple more times eventually getting it. Vivian took a deep breath as she was exhausted. This stage had really wore her out. However, she still had one last stage to complete before she was trained as far as she could.
(Uwame: Stage 3 Learned)
Vivian moved back to the table to start the training on the next stage. Her bow would be placed on the side like it had been previously. The fourth stage was going to be the hardest, yet it seemed. Vivian gleamed over the information in the scroll and found that most of it was extremely difficult to understand. Vivian sighed softly and sat down as she read the scroll. The first thing mentioned was a new skill that would be used to fire an arrow in a way that would cause it to fly in different ways and basically made it so Vivian could manipulate it in the air, more or less. There was a little guide on how to do this but, Vivian barely understood that. However, what helped her was some pictures that showed suggested ways for the hand to be positioned in order to have certain desired effects. But, the guide suggested practicing her own hand positions to see what would work best for her. Vivian shrugged a bit and read over the suggested hand positions just to see what they thought was best. That way she had something to go off when she started to practice. As she had been doing with each of her trainings, Vivian started to read the next jutsu before practicing the entire stage. This seemed to be the most efficient to her. The next technique would have to be something done quickly and carefully. The girl had to use her finger to flick the arrow as it is leaving the bow to give it a spin. Supposedly this spin gave the arrow a lot more power to it. This would allow it to deflect other things and go through more armor than a normal arrow would be able to go through. Vivian wasn’t sure how she would do this as, she would have to be quick. An arrow shooting out of a long bow was a lot faster than most people thought it was. Vivian read over this, reading the tips on the best way to make sure to get the arrow before it left the bow. It was going to be difficult that was for sure but, she was sure with some practice that she would be able to do it. It would just take plenty of practice but, she still read over it several times to make sure she had the fundamentals of the technique. The girl then went onto the next technique. It was a technique that was used to make the arrow a lot stronger so that it could go through different things much easier. Vivian looked it over for a moment. ’Hmm could be useful against the UHV’s armor. She thought to herself as she was reading it. It would require some chakra to be pulsed through the arrow to reinforce it. Not only that but, through the bow string to give it more strength in sending the arrow flying. Vivian had some difficulty understanding as it was a rather complex technique. Especially with the addition of chakra to make the arrow’s strength much higher. The girl read it over several times as it was necessary for her to understand the technique. Before she was reading it over, to make sure she got the information correct but, this stage she was having to read it over to gain a real understanding of how to do the techniques. After some time Vivian moved her attention down to the next technique. The next technique was used to make the arrow much faster to get it to go a lot farther and increase the impact. The girl read it over. It seemed the bow had to be reinforced with chakra and that’s what would cause the arrow to go faster. Vivian read the technique over and over to fully understand it. ’Should be an easier one for me to learn.’ The girl thought to herself as she finished reading it for the third time. The girl then went onto the final technique of the stage. This one would require a lot more chakra and skill as it was used to fire the arrows lying on the ground. Vivian looked around the training grounds and figured the few that she had scattered about would be good enough to attempt the technique. Vivian shrugged a bit and went back to reading. It seemed like the initial arrow would be like a magnet of sorts that would cause the rest of the jutsu to follow in it’s path. Vivian nodded a bit as she read it over. That made sense to her. Each of the arrows would have the strength like it had just been shot from her bow which would make this technique deadly indeed. With all the reading completed, Vivian looked over at her bow and picked it up. It was time to practice these techniques. Vivian started with the manipulating skill. The girl would first try the suggested hand positions to get the arrow to go different ways in the air. The first few times she attempted this it wouldn’t work very well. However, she would continue to keep trying it until she could get an arrow to curve in the air. Vivian smiled a bit and moved on again. It was one of the complex techniques she was worried about. She had to get the arrow to spiral in order to get it to deflect projectiles. Vivian would knock an arrow into her bow and draw it back. The girl would then release the arrow, attempting to flick the arrow as it left the bow. However, she would completely miss the first time. And the second time. And the third. Vivian sighed. It was definitely a difficult task. The girl continued to try, eventually she would manage to get it just slightly. This excited her as she watched the arrow spiral slightly in the air. Vivian would continue to practice this technique in order to get the entire thing complete. Vivian then went onto making the arrow more powerful. The girl would pull her bow up and start to course chakra through the bow. This would reinforce it as she pulled back the bow string. She would continue to pull the bow string until it was as tight as it could get without her snapping the string. Vivian would then allow the bow string to go to it’s normal position before knocking an arrow into the bow. Once again she would draw the bow string as tight as possible. She would then release the arrow, watching as it destroyed a dummy’s head and fell to the ground. Vivian was happy with her progress so far. The girl just needed to practice a couple more techniques and she would be all in the clear for this stage. Vivian would reinforce the bow with her chakra once again. As it was being reinforced with chakra she would knock and arrow. Then immediately she would pull the bow string back and let it loose. Watching as the arrow was much faster than it normally would have been. There was one last technique that she had to practice. The girl drew another arrow and knocked it. Once it was in it’s place, Vivian would draw back the arrow. The arrow would then start to be infused with the girl’s chakra as she pulsed the chakra inside of it. She would give the arrow a sort of magnetic property to pick up the other arrows on the way. Once she had gotten enough chakra in the arrow, she would let it loose. The girl would watch as it sailed through the air. As it passed other arrows, each of the arrows would suddenly shoot off, following the other arrow. All of the arrows in the area would be picked up, each hitting a wall. This caused Vivian to smile as she watched it.
(Uwame Stage 4 Learned)
There was one last thing Vivian wanted to train before she would consider herself done with training for now. She walked over to the different scrolls and went to the clones. The girl would pick up one for shadow clones and immediately go back to her place that she had been training. The girl smiled softly and started to read. This was necessary for her to have a clone of some sort which could be powerful. Vivian read it over. It was a pretty simple concept considering she had made clones in the academy. However, these clones were physical and had more substance. They could actually be used for things it seemed. Vivian slowly practiced the handseals for the clones as she read over the scroll. Vivian continued to study as she made the hand seals, coursing chakra through her body as she did so. After a while of studying. Vivian would form the hand seals for real this time. She would then use the chakra in her body to create a clone next to her. It was a nearly exact replica of her. Vivian would use some more of her chakra to animate it, and give it instructions to move. Making sure that she had full control over it. It seemed that she had a pretty good understanding of it.

Belamos was relaxing while sat down and leaned against a pillar, watching Vivian's own training session, when one of the instructors of the academy approached them. He bowed and Belamos remained seated in response, not taking his eyes of the graceful woman before him "What do you want? I specifically instruct you to not bother me unless it was of the highest importance" Belamos finally shifted his gaze to the small balding man, narrowing his eyes in anger at being disturbed. The poor man seemed scared...but not of him, of something else "Lord Belamos...Lady Vivian. I...we, need your help. There is a large riot that has broken out nearby and is at risk of spreading this way. We need your help to make sure the Academy remains intact and to help us deal with the riot" The Fire God let out a deep sigh at this and pushed himself up onto his feet. He picked his spear up off the ground and spun it a few times "We will handle it. You, and everyone else, leave" In response to his words, the man scurried away. Belamos walked over to Vivian and stood beside her, surveying the area as he spoke "If we could kill them, I could handle this by myself. Unfortunately, that's out of the question. So, how do you want to handle this? You go up top and I'll stay down low?" With that plan, Belamos could protect the academy and deal with street thugs while Vivian could take out the riot leaders and shoot projectiles out of the air.

Vivian would look up from her training to see the balding man spreading to Belamos. The girl would sigh gently and walk her way over to the man. ’Hmm a riot. This could be a good time to show off her new abilities. ”Hmm that works for me. Keep to our strengths. However you’re right we can’t kill them. We’re gonna have to quell them. Perhaps see why they’re rioting and try to solve the problem.” Vivian would shrug gently at Belamos and place her bow on her back. ”I’m ready to go when you are darling.” Vivian said with a smile as she wait for Belamos.

With Vivian's approval, he moved, immediately setting himself to the task of defending the Academy. Belamos stood guard at the front gate of the Academy and placed the butt of his spear on the ground. Looking down the long road that led to the Academy, he could indeed see a large rioting mob making its way down this way. They didn't seem to be particularly angry at the Academy, but in their sense of destruction and madness, the crowd would certainly want to do damage to the place he was guarding. That would not do. Raising one of his hands, Belamos sent a large jet of fire screaming into the air. This seemed to make the rabble pause for a brief moment to look at him "Mongrels- disperse this gathering or be struck down. In the name of your Lord, disperse!!" He yelled out over the crowd. Unfortunately, this demand seemed to provoke the crowd into attacking. Belamos pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed 'They never seem to learn, do they?' He stood his ground, twirling his spear absent-mindedly as dozens of citizens started to move towards him, and he, them. Once he was within a few dozen meters, Belamos disappeared in a pillar of flame, reappearing behind one of the lead aggressors. He struck him in the back of the head with the haft of his spear before twirling it and bringing it into the nose of another man. With ease and surprising speed he dodged and struck the men, weaving between them with the grace of a male ballerina. This was indeed his dance; the throngs of combat his natural place in the world. If only he could gut these men where they stood, the rest would scatter. Unfortunately he could not seem to do so. More then a few times someone would throw a firebomb or other projectile at him and it would suddenly be shot out of the sky, and he knew Vivian was providing support from a high overwatch position. As he fought, Belamos identified the men giving orders from the front. Belamos was not going to let the Riot get out of control, nor damage the academy. He had to end this now. There were three leaders, one nearby and two in the far back "VIVIAN!" He yelled out as he struck down another two men. With all his might he leapt into the air, flipping upside down, he would point to the two men in the back "AIM TRUE!" He called out as he threw his spear to the leader nearest to him. The weapon caught fire instantly and flew out of his grip at a fantasical spead. The bright red lance streaked over the heads of the mob and struck the leader in his chest, pinning him to the nearby building and killing him after a brief struggle. The mob paused for a second as they watched their leader die, unaware that two more would soon follow from his Lady's arrows.

Vivian followed Belamos for the most part. That was until they got to the gate. She would climb the nearest building and draw her bow. However, while she was drawing her bow, her left hand would go into her clay pouch and start to chew up clay. The girl added chakra to it but, just enough that it would scare the crowd rather than do any real damage to them. Once the ground was close enough she would throw five small bombs at the ground in front of them to get them to step back. Vivian noticed as the mob started to throw things at Belamos. As they did so she would strike them out of the air with an arrow. The girl then watched as he threw his lance at a man, killing him. With a quick look she spotted who she assumed he wanted her to attack. Vivian would knock two arrows into place before drawing her bow string back and letting loose. However, the arrows wouldn't strike the two men any where fatal, instead they would land directly in front of them. Vivian smiled softly and jumped down from the building. "We don't need anymore death here today Belamos." The girl would state rather calmly. "We're here to protect the citizens of Otogakure." The girl would, place her bow on her back as she walked over towards the crowd. "People of Otogakure! Hear me." The girl smiled. "We do not want to hurt any of you. However, you have seen what we can do. We know that shinobi aren't welcomed by all but, we give our lives to protect those in our villages. Now, please disperse this crowd before things have to get worse." Vivian would say. The girl hoped that with their leader gone, they would decide to stop this instead of continue. "We all have family. Go to them. Be with them. We can solve whatever problems you're having together."

Vivian's proclamation was met with mixed feelings, her plea for them all to save their own lives was responded to with unease. Belamos, agitated, extended his hand once more. The impaled body, so far the only casualty, erupted into flames. The smell of burnt flesh and the popping of organs dominated the area "Leave NOW!" Through a combination of Vivian's mercy and his own Intimidation, the crowd scattered to the wind. As they did so he walked over and retrieved his spear, pulling it out of the charred corpse and returned to Vivian "Those men should be dead. The rabble, I understand sparing, but the leaders should be made an example of. You're soft as ever, Viv" He was no fool. He knew his way was not always the most effective, and indeed, people would come to like Vivian more so than himself. But he was a King...and King's do not concern themselves with the pitiful thoughts of the masses. "What will we do now?"

Vivian sighed softly as she watched the people slowly go their own ways. Once they were properly dispersed she would turn to face Belamos. "It's more about the future Belamos. Sparing them all shows that the shinobi aren't the monsters that the UHV want them to think we are. I'm sure that was the reason that riot was here. People get scared and follow the pack. We need to show them our sides of things. Show them that we're not the real monsters here." Vivian would walk over to the arrows that she shot into the ground and put them back in her quiver. "We alone will not be able to take the UHV out of here. But, with the people's help we can. Maybe next time the riot will be against the office and not here. I know you like to use your fist but, sometimes it's better to use your head." Vivian smiled at Belamos. "For now, we must gain more power, gain favoritism among the people of the village. It seems you been helping a lot of them. They'll remember that. And they'll remember our mercy on this day."

Belamos scratched his own chin as he thought, a bad habit he had gotten into. "Even with the two of us, as strong as we can become...it won't be enough to drive the UHV out. We're going to need help" He placed his spear in the leather holster he kept on his back and leaned against a wall as he continued "Before I started at the Academy, I met a young man from the Land of Water. Takumi. He shared a distaste of UHV as well. I should write him and inform him of the current state of things. I think he vastly underestimated the strength of this organization we seem to be attached to" Belamos started walking back into the Academy from the street, side by side with Vivian "I think he can help us. He had...grand plans, so to speak. He's an interesting fellow. You'd like him"
