((Shuriken roll = roll + 4)) Lula actually landed in time to watch her shuriken fly towards the target. Something strange: Her shuriken didn't have that same dancing pattern as most people's did... Every time she'd seen someone throw shuriken, they had weaved and bobbed as they flew... her shuriken flew in a perfect arc sharpening at the end, when they would curve in towards the target. That's how she had so many shuriken that would end up touching each other at end-game. She thought that that was interesting, but didn't make much of it. She noted that her shuriken had pierced the dummy's heart and head again, and she pulled them from their demolished sheaths, turning and walking away. She was getting tired of this being so easy... It was really bugging her. Maybe this was what they meant when they referred to the shinobi's job as being 'all work.' After a while, you just got jaded. And dammit, she wished she had more shuriken so she didn't have to keep running like a chicken with her head cut off. She stopped, turned around and distractedly threw her shuriken toward the target, not even taking the time to aim.MODIFIED: 200 POINTS

((Shuriken roll = roll + 4)) No surprise at all. She wasn't excited anymore by the fact that she was the best so far with the shuriken, it was just becoming a given. She just wished she had some way to blow off some steam... But she couldn't really cut loose on anyone... She was deadly accurate with the shuriken... If she ever actually let herself go... She was hoping that there would be something soon that would let her really open up and let loose all of her skill on something, without holding back. That's all she wanted, was just something that she could let go and rage out on. She thought that it would be fun. It would be new... She walked back to the target and pulled her shuriken from it again. Hell, if nothing else at least she was getting good cardio. She laughed, walking back to her mark. She decided on doing something she had done earlier. She spun once and threw five shuriken --the three from her left hand and two form her right-- tossing the other in the air. She jumped up and turned horizontal --almost upside-down-- again, driving her boot into the shuriken and sending it flying at the target.MODIFIED: 200 POINTS

((Shuriken roll = roll + 4)) And when Lula landed, she turned quickly to see how she did. She saw the three from her left hand arcing toward the stomach, and the shuriken she had kicked drilled halfway into the heart, the other two following it into the heart in short order, while the other three thunked almost lazily into the stomach. It still amazed her that the one she let go last --the kicked shuriken-- could beat the others into the target. She laughed, jogging back to her target and pulling her shuriken out... Until she got to the one lodged in the dead center of the heart. With the damn dummy that tore up, you would expect it to have a little give... She had to put her leg on the stomach and grab the shuriken with both hands to rip it out of the wood in a shower of splinters. She dusted herself and her shuriken off as she walked back to her mark, deciding that she had a new favorite method of delivery. Turning quickly she shot four shuriken at the target, tossing the other two into the air... She jumped and spun faster than before, kicking both of the shuriken in on a separate pass.MODIFIED: 200 POINTS

((Shuriken roll = roll + 4)) Lula watched in astonishment... The two shuriken that she kicked not only beat all the other shuriken, but the wedged together into the same spot on the heart. And then the Robin Hood effect took place: The third shuriken from that hand drilled in between them. And then the other three followed by almost a quarter of a second and drilled into a cluster on the dummy's face. She was speechless... That was by far the most amazing shot she'd ever taken. It doesn't matter that she made one almost the same with a blindfold on... She had hit that target with shuriken that were kicked at the target, and split that perfect shot with another perfect shot that drove itself in with the others. not tom mention that she had gotten a fine cluster in the forehead of the target. She walked up to the target and --with no little effort-- ripped her shuriken out in another splintering shower. She really needed a new target... She laughed and walked back to her mark, preparing for the next shot. She was taking this one traditionally. She crouched back, primed her shuriken... Sighted in the target... And let them fly!MODIFIED: 200 POINTS

((Shuriken roll = roll + 4)) And she heard the discordant notes of bad shots. It seems that when she tried her hardest to do it right, she got it wrong. That must have been her problem. structure failed her. She marched to the tune of her own whistle.She approached the target. Three shots had drifted their way into the stomach, and three more into the right hip. She nodded. She'd expected nothing more. She pulled them out without actually having to try and started to walk away from the dummy. She decided on her next shot. She ran forward at an easy lope with long steps before she launched herself forward, diving through the air before she turned her back to the ground and launched the shuriken back at her origin.MODIFIED: 200 POINTS

((Shuriken roll = roll + 4)) And as she hit the ground she rolled, whistling in her ears. She sprung back and up, landing about fifty feet form the target. She kept the spring in her step as she bounced back to the target. Three shuriken had pierced the heart in a vertical column of vertical shuriken, and three more had continued that line down the stomach. She laughed at the symmetry of it all and pulled the shuriken out of the target one by one, starting with the top. The spring in her step matched the bob of her curls as she bounced again away from the dilapidated target. She was damn good at this job, even though she was still in what could be considered the interview. She took a deep breath of the air and kept bouncing in place, restless.MODIFIED: 200 POINTS

((Shuriken roll = roll + 16 DC: 35)) She was too good for this... A simple fact. But amazing all the same. She combed her mind for a new idea... She flipped through the 'channels' and finally found notes that sounded right. The idea spelled itself out as she listened. Her jaw dropped at the prospect... It was an amazing idea. It would definitely push her limits. And so she pulled three kunai out of her pouch and began looking for a suitable spot. She soon found one. Two trees stood about sixty feet from each other. She took the kunai and shoved one into one of the knot on one tree. She did it in such a way that the hole of the kunai was flush against the bark of the tree, and the kunai lay flat against it. The second and third kunai she placed on the opposite tree, in much the same way, except that the kunai's rings were spaced so that a shuriken could pierce both rings with two points. This would be the hardest thing she'd ever done with the shuriken.
She stepped away from the targets, and faced the first target. She basically had to hope for luck on this one... She honestly doubted she had the skill to make that great a shot with anything less. She primed only two shuriken. Any more would be a waste of energy and most likely interfere with her chances of striking the target. She launched them both at the first target with all the focus of any killer assassin.[Bullseye: Impossible?] The shinobi will take aim with their weapon of choice, and will take aim at two targets. Their first target: the hole in a kunai at least thirty feet away from the shooter. This seemingly impossible task is a true test of a shinobi's proficiency, but more experienced shinobi can stand further back to increase their workout. The true test of this, though, is that the user has to hit the target exactly on mark. That means that with a shuriken, only one point can pierce the hole, with a kunai, the blade must strike with sufficient force and accuracy that the broad blade sticks in the target, and with a senbon or arrow, the needle must pierce at least halfway into the target in the exact center of the ring. These are considered some of the hardest shots a shinobi can manage.
The second shot varies in targets for the shinobi. For shuriken, the rings must be placed so that only an absolutely perfect shot can pierce both rings at the same time. For a kunai, they must be placed with the rings stacked on top of each other, increasing the force it requires to get the target to stick. And, like the trial of Odysseus, for a senbon or arrows, the kunai must be placed so that their rings are in a spaced row, and the user must shoot through them both.
A shot with an attack roll of 35 or higher (from thirty feet, add 5 for every five feet farther you are from the targets) will hit the first, easier target. A roll of a natural twenty is required for the second shot, no matter the shinobi's proficiency.

((Shuriken roll: Doesn't even matter. DC: natural twenty)) Lula dropped to the ground as quickly as her jaw did... one of the shuriken was pegged outside the target, sure... But she stared instead at the shuriken protruding from the bulls-eye.... She couldn't believe that her first throw had gotten her that amazing shot... It was insane... It was... Too easy... She wasn't going to be fussing over that now, though... She had scored a bulls-eye on her first throw. She had nailed a shot from thirty feet through the head of a kunai... She drew in a breath and slowly got up off of her knees, not trusting herself to be springing up...
She walked to the target. Sure enough. The shuriken had punched a hole directly in the center of the kunai, and was lined up perfectly in the hole. She took another deep breath and pulled out the shuriken that had missed. She could not believe that. She walked back to the center of the range and took another steadying breath. Priming two more shuriken, she had to try not to let her breathing muck up her shot. She snapped her arms forward, her wrists popping at the last second as her weapons flashed toward the target. She wasn't going to make this shot. Not yet, anyway... It would be an enormous matter of luck...[Bullseye: Impossible?] The shinobi will take aim with their weapon of choice, and will take aim at two targets.

Melediana watched as the children went through their various stages of training, Lula burning like a demon through endless shuriken practice and working on a task that Melediana considered near impossible for a student of her rank. Abel had finished his target practice (using her advice, she noticed with a secret smile) and had asked her permission to leave. "You may leave... But I have a homework assignment: I want you to learn your handseals. You'll need them for the next assignment." The Kyuuketsuki turned to Kazumei then. "You as well, Kazumei." Hoshi was still working on target practice. That was fine. He was a latecomer, but he was working hard to catch up.
Melediana looked around again at the students. They had worked hard enough today. "All right, everyone. You can go home, if you'd like. Hoshi, I'd recommend that you finish your assignment before going home." She turned back to the bulk of the class "Your homework assignment is to learn the twelve seals of the shinobi. you will need these building blocks for performing almost every jutsu. You all worked hard today. Good work, everyone. I expect you all to be in class tomorrow, so don't work yourselves into a hole. Additionally, there is another homework assignment in your syllabus scrolls, (posted in the academy, the questions.) I suggest you don't neglect your bookwork." She turned specifically to Kazumei and Lula as she said the last. She would remain to oversee the training that Hoshi was undergoing, and then she would leave, trusting Kazumei and Lula to their own devices. She at least hoped they weren't going to kill each other.

((Shuriken roll: Doesn't even matter. DC: natural twenty)) Lula grinned. She'd missed. She wasn't sabotaging herself by any means, but she was actually having trouble --as any shinobi should.-- She reveled in the feeling that flashed through her head frustration. She was having trouble with the impossible assignment she had given herself. Good. She primed two more shuriken and aimed them at the target. Let's try this again. She flashed the shuriken forward in what had become a well-practiced action. There was no reason that she had set this goal for herself outside of the fact that she wanted to fail. She wanted to actually work for her success. But how long would she have trouble before she honed in on the technique? She hoped she would get a real workout from this.[Bullseye: Impossible?] The shinobi will take aim with their weapon of choice, and will take aim at two targets.

((Shuriken roll: Doesn't even matter. DC: natural twenty)) She had missed again! She watched as her shuriken plowed through the air and drilled themselves into the tree on both sides of the target. She laughed and ran towards the tree, pulling her four shuriken out of the tree. She was ecstatic. There was nothing more satisfying to her than work. And she was going to have to work pretty damn hard to do this... This was a shot that required true marksmanship. This was a shot that required a true shinobi to master. And she wouldn't consider herself anything more than a civilian until she got it.
Walking back to her mark, she primed two shuriken and took sight of the target. She was going to get this. And she was going to work for it. She wasn't some Uchiiha who got it right off because their eyes were a different color. She wasn't some Hyuuga that could see every scratch on those kunai. She was a regular kunoichi that was going to drill a shuriken into those holes because she had worked hard to do it. She moved her arms as she had been practicing all day. Practiced technique. The elbows came up... The arms moved forward... The wrists snapped forward... The fingers released... And the shuriken began their arc towards the target.[Bullseye: Impossible?] The shinobi will take aim with their weapon of choice, and will take aim at two targets.

((Shuriken roll: Doesn't even matter. DC: natural twenty)) Lula watched as the kunai crossed over and struck on both sides of the target. She had missed again. This was shaping up to be a real test. But how long until she mastered it? She couldn't wait. She wanted the satisfaction of getting the shot. But she didn't want to deprive herself of that satisfaction by getting the shot prematurely. There was no merit in getting everything simply. She deserved to get her enjoyment from this. The longer she worked, the bigger the payoff of finally getting the training over. She was going to enjoy this. And afterward, she might reward herself with some new toys. She would learn some new tricks, too... IF she could get clearance. Hopefully she should be able to get permission to practice a new skill or something. If she can get some new tricks with her new toys, she might just keep this flame alive, although she didn't think it was possible for her to ever lose interest in this field of work.
Priming the next two shuriken, she took aim at the target, remembering every aspect of her throw. And then she let them fly.[Bullseye: Impossible?] The shinobi will take aim with their weapon of choice, and will take aim at two targets.

Lula frowned as she saw the whole thing in slow motion. Her shuriken flew from her fingers. They arced smooth and slow towards the target... She grit her teeth as she saw them collide. One of the shuriken launched itself --careening out of control-- into another tree, where it slapped flat against the bark. But this impact was enough to knock the other shuriken out of its arc. The shuriken was set spinning faster --which maintained its balance due to gyroscopic momentum-- and flying directly straight. It pelted the bark with such a force that both kunai were pulled out of the tree, and hung suspended from the shuriken, wedged in place by the blades of the shuriken.
Her jaw dropped as she stared, wide-eyed, at the scene before her. She had made two impossible shots. She accepted herself as a shinobi now. She had proven herself.
Lula walked up to her targets and pulled her shuriken out of them, taking the kunai as well. She walked to the shuriken that had sacrificed its flight for the sake of the other, and she slipped it back into her pouch. Without another word, she left the meadow, returning to the village --not to take a break-- but to go get those new toys she'd promised herself. She had money. She had just needed to know what she was going to buy. And now that she had seen what she could do with shuriken, she knew just what she wanted.[[Exit: Konohagakure]] [Bullseye: Impossible?] The shinobi will take aim with their weapon of choice, and will take aim at two targets.

((Roll = roll + 9)) Lula walked in form the village, lost in a little black book. But when she got there, she decided the book would have to wait. She slipped it into a pouch on her side, rolling her neck and shoulders. She needed to practice with her new shuriken. She knew how they were supposed to work... She understood exactly how they were supposed to work... But she didn't know how to get them to work that way. It would take some good experimentation. She'd never thrown anything that boomeranged back to her, so she was going to have some trouble working the technique out. But she wasn't going to stop until she had it or she was dead or dying. Lula slipped the four fuuma shuriken disguised as one off of her back. She brought the shuriken back and swung her arm, --with her entire body-- forward and released the shuriken.Fuuma Shuriken: Double-edged throw Part 1
The fuuma shuriken can be thrown in two ways: One way is used by amateurs, and is the technique in which the shuriken flies straight from the thrower. The second technique is more difficult. It requires the user to throw the shuriken in such a way that it returns to the thrower. This technique, however, is dangerous in that it opens the user to the return flight of the shuriken. This can be deadly, as the shuriken can injure the thrower on the return flight. This is the first part of the training, that practices the original throw, but that the user does not attempt to catch the shuriken on its return flight.

((Roll = roll + 9)) Lula botched the throw. The shuriken rolled in the air and hit the ground. She laughed. This was going to be even more difficult than that target practice. This was going to be exciting. This was going to be extremely hard. And that's what she wanted. All this work was going to pay off eventually. She was going to be able to kill someone and be able to get her shuriken back without having to walk all the way to them. She was pretty sure she would be able to do more damage with her normal shuriken, but she wouldn't be able to get those back in the middle of a fight.
She flipped the next shuriken open and wound herself up, flinging the next gigantic shuriken forward.Fuuma Shuriken: Double-edged throw Part 1
