Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raising a hand, Kanoshima waved it in front of him in the direction of the desks. "Please take a seat", Kano said calmly.

Taking a deep breath Kano rose to his feet before saying, "first things first, my name is Kanoshima Kaguya, you may call me Sensei, Kanoshima-Sensei, or if you wish Kano-Sensei. I already know your name, and have a basic knowledge of your clan'a abilities, but before we can begin I will need to know your elemental affinity if you know it. If not then we will have to figure that out."

Kanoshima merely nodded his head before walking to the board and drawing several hand-seals. Underneath the hand-seals Kano wrote a description of the jutsu he would be teaching Shinji. "Doton: Bunshin no Jutsu, the earth clone technique. It is a basic technique that requires both chakra control and an understanding of your environment. The goal is to create a bunshin from the very earth itself", Kanoshima explained as he finished writing his description of the jutsu. Walking over to the corner of the room, he lifted a panel in the floor to reveal solid earth underneath.

Moving slowly through the hand-seals he had written on the board so that Shinji could see them performed in sequence, Kanoshima then said calmly, "Doton: Bunshin no Jutsu." From the ground rose a tall yet fairly thin mound of dirt which quickly began to take a humanoid form until finally it was a perfect replica of Kanoshima. "The difference between this clone and the standard bunshin that you should have already been taught is that this clone is real, you can touch it and it can most assuredly touch you. What makes this clone even more unique than clones of other elements is that it is slightly more durable, though at the expense of speed. When you are ready feel free to try the jutsu for yourself."

(Doton: Bunshin no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Clone Skill)
Description: This jutsu creates one single clone out of the ground. Its defense is incredible, and it's very powerful, but lacks speed. Two hits will destroy the bunshin.)

"Very good, now go sit down, all of you", Kanoshima said calmly as he moved back to the board and erased the instructions for the jutsu. He was pleased with Shinji's progress, though others students of his had been able to learn the jutsu a bit faster, but what Shinji seemed to lack in control he made up for in raw power.

Writing up new hand-seals on the board, Kano said calmly, "the next technique is very similar to the first, the Koujin Bunshin no Jutsu. Like the Doton: Bunshin this jutsu creates a replica of yourself, however rather than using earth and stone, this technique uses dust, sand, or any small particles that are readily available. This clone however is incapable of attacking, it serves more as a distraction in much the same way that a traditional bunshin does. What makes this clone special is that when it is destroyed by an enemy the dust and small particles that were used to create it will swarm towards the eyes and mouth of the enemy, giving one the perfect opportunity to attack."

After giving his explanation, Kanoshima turned towards the desks that Shinji should be sitting in and slowly performed the hand-seals before saying calmly, "Koujin Bunshin no Jutsu." Dust gathered from all around the room and began swirling in a spire next to Kano, which then began to take a humanoid shape until finally a perfect replica of Kanoshima was standing next to him, wearing the same calm expression as its creator. "I want you to first have one of your clones attack the dust clone so that you can see exactly what happens, then I want you to create your own."

Kano simply raised one eyebrow as the clones rushed towards him. As the two dust clones closed in on him, Kano ducked and weaved through their attacks, moving in such a way that it appeared almost like a choreographed dance. Spinning between the two so that they were now behind him, Kanoshima jumped just as the earth clone was swinging his blade at him, spinning in the air to land facing the three clones. Lifting a single hand Kano then shot projected three bone lances from his arm, each moving with such speed that the clones would have no hope of dodging. As the clones dispersed, Kanoshima retracted the bones back into his body as he turned to look at Shinji, his face expressionless.

"That was not a poor tactic, sending in dust clones first to attempt to render an opponent helpless and then send in an earth clone behind to finish the job, but just be aware that there are many jutsus that will make this tactic useless, so be sure to always have a back-up", Kano said, his voice as calm as ever, almost as if the whole attack was something barely worth mentioning. In truth, Kanoshima was more impressed with the boy's fighting spirit than he was upset by his ineffectual attack. Walking towards the door, Kano said calmly, "I cannot teach you more jutsus in such a limited enviroment, if you'll follow me we will go somewhere more conducive to practicing doton jutsus." With that Kanoshima opened the door and began making his way swiftly through the halls of the academy, then out into the street, heading in the direction of the village training grounds.

Tatsuo stop at the front door of the Dojo, seeming excited to finally train. He looked at the sign on top of the door as a smile crept across his face. He herd of what his parents said to be a great ninja, and he will honor their wishes. Slowly pushing the door inward, he step inside as other people were training in mostly Taijutsu styles. The door closed behind him as he walked in a little further inside, almost wanting to act like a child. He stopped as he waited for someone to approach him.

Aihi entered the dojo and sat down ready to read her scrolls. she first unraveled the Shunko scroll then layed it down reading the introductory statement. "This technique was created within the walls of Iwagakure, by the Tsuchikage Jade Uchiha herself. An advanced technique that combines hand-to-hand combat and chakra energy to explosively increase a Shinobi's offensive capabilities. A high-pressured chakra surges throughout the user's body, enhancing their arms and legs for battle. The chakra itself can also be controlled and fired at opponents from the body at later stages. This technique has been mainly used by Medical Ninjas, as it requires a large amount of chakra control. hmm ok so im already a close range specialist this will further my skills making me even more deadly.I'm certainly not a medical-nin but I am a Hyuuga so my Chakra control should suffice" She said as her eyes moved down towards the first thing she'd have to learn. "hmm whats this? Minor Shunkō
The user is able to focus chakra to the finger tips, as well as the tips of their feet, adding damage to their punches and kicks. Sounds interesting." she said as she stood up. ready to practice the move.
