Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Are we just doing 4 total or more for potential kido techniques?))

After much waiting the next Kido lesson was about to begin. Kinsetsu had spent a good hour waiting till the last shinigami had completed the training up to the Captain's standard. He felt quite bored to say the least and as the Captain began to explain the next Kido it took him a while to realize what was going on. He had quietly drifted to thoughts of his experiments that lay in waiting. In the longterm they would prove of much greater importance than a Kido but for now learning Kido's was of importance. He walked back to the group in time to see the Captain perform the Kido.

Although not impressive in nature he saw its use immediately. Not only would it prove to be useless in retreats but would be a key diversion tool in combat when one prepared to make an attack. A key part of successfully winning a battle was to never show your full deck of cards and this technique would be one way of doing that.

He began the process of transfering his energy to the selected destination of his arm. It was not a difficult task to do as it once again came down to trusting your body and concentration. The rapid movement of energy began to build up within the arm but not to the point of causing any pressure. It was fluid energy movement that brought a natural tranquility. He felt the moment was right and yelled out the spell. "Bakudo 21" The movement continue within the arm and he knew he had time it right as he prepared to say the 2nd part "Senkienton"

Sejiro lifted his head towards the sky while inhaling deeply to calm himself after the failed attempt of performing the new kido. A wave of calmness swept over Sejiro revealing a new found vigor and sense of self within his mind. He dropped his head while letting out a satisfying exhale that cleansed his body and began to gather reiatsu within his body. He sent the reiatsu to both his arms and hands preparing his next attempt to complete bakudo #21.

The state that he was now in let Sejiro completely visualize how the kido would look when he would recite the incantation for it and how it would look when he had completed it. He saw his hands fall onto the earth and create a red smoke screen in front of him, how the smoke hid him from potential attacks and how the sun light revealed tiny jewels of red within the smoke screen. This vision was so strong that Sejiro felt his hands plunge into the earth while his mouth opened so naturally and emit the words, "Bakudo #21, Senkienton!" A cloud of red smoke appeared in front of him shrouding his body from potential attacks and allowing the necessary time to get away from any enemy. A voice rang inside Sejiro's head, Good job Seji! You're learning to rely on your instincts! After he heard this voice Sejiro's stomach turned with excitement, "Woohooo!"

As he finished his words the slow materialization began. The red smoke that formed spreads consistently across the area he had aimed. The kido itself was not that impressive compared to others but nonetheless served a useful purpose. Not being visible for even an instant could be quite an effective tool. He watched the smoke as it eventually began to rise upwards due to the gust of wind, once again exposing his form for all to see. Another Kido knocked down and this one had been the easiest yet so he was feeling quite confident.

Kinsetsu began passing much of his training within this now void of life area. The training that had previously occured here, had halted abruptly due to circumstances, which were understandable. Events were currently occupying the time of most of the Gotei leaders. He himself was quite burdened with work but found if neccessary to take a break from all that was ongoing. The break for him came in the form of practicing the abilities he had learned. Despite knowing relatively few Kido's, he could practice these Kido's to work towards a greater understand of himself.

As he had seen the Kido's required a multitude of traits. One needed to demonstrate control and precision with some Kido's, while others required perfect spiritual motion. The energies one used had to be adapted for each different skill set. Using the variation of Kido's he knew he could gain better understand on how to use his spiritual reaitsu. This would clearly allow him to progress at a faster rate when he acquired approved training.

The pulsing energy, circulated his internal structure with warmth, engaging all senses. A new vitality was felt, ironic as it was considering he along with all in the spirit world had seemingly died from another life. The life of a shinigami was not one from the world of the living would aspire to be. Those in the living would perceive the actions that had to purpose to aid as simply altruistic. The living feared death and shinigami, such as himself, inhabited it. Allowing the thoughts to drift out of his conscious he prepared himself to perform the spell.

"Bakudo 39 Enkosen"

The circulating yellow energy materialized into shape. The contour was a perfectly proportioned circle that covered his frame entirely. He did not celebrate his success but concerned himself more so with observing the formation. A portion of this skill would surely be used to perform other Kido's of similar nature. After a few more seconds the Kido disintegrated, dispelling the concentration of energy. A split second later he was preparing his next spell, to waste time was to waste his growth.

Ike nodded as he listened very closely to Captain Tansen's instructions. "I agree with you and will do my best on it. Let's see, I believe the next bakudo is hit." Hit is the 21th bakudo and it like cloud the hide by means of a red smoke engulfing it. Ike thought to himself, "There is an incantation so first I am going to try it with out the incantation and then with it." He crossed both of his hands over each other. Ike could see a red smoke surrounding around here when he said "Bakudo #21: Senkienton!." The smoke became very stiff, but not for long. "Haha I guess you were right Captain, the incantations do work better."

Ike stretched both of his arms as he began to attempt the Bakudo again. "Ok, this time I am going to use it." he thought to himself. After stretching, he looked at them with a stern expression and then began to recite the incantation with his eyes closed so that he could concentrate. "Here goes nothing." He opened his eyes very quickly and then spoke. "Bakudo #21: Senkienton!" Ike saw the red smoke engulf much more than it did last time and then when it subsided, the smoke was stiff and stayed like that for a good minute and a half. "Ok, I think that should be good for now. I can practice all of my Kidou later also. What is the next bakudo......."

(Sorry I tried to doing my best as longer post...)
