Natsu Dragonil Genin l Salamander l TaijutsuThink ya can handle my heat?       
Natsu rose up to his legs once Zin arrived, Happy as well. When he landed, Zin sounded as if he weighed twice his weight or something. Natsu angled his head to the side, confused as to why he did so. His questions were answered when Zin tossed the weights to him, which Natsu failed to hesitate. He reached out, not thinking about how they could be fairly heavy. When they landed in his hands, he was confused as to why they were so light. He wanted to strap them on, and struggled briefly until Zin showed him how to do it.
Natsu now had the weights on, and listened to the further instruction. Zin was wearing 100 pounds on all of his limbs, and apparently his teacher had worn more. He wished to be as strong as that, and this only further motivated him. "Right, 15 pounds." He did as he was told, concentrating his chakra to the weights, which took a moment. In fiery red letters, the numbers rose until they hit 15 on each of the weights. Natsu felt immediately heavier, and uncomfortable, which showed on his face. Happy tugged on his pants, and Natsu bent down, the cat whispering in his ear. "Oh! Forgot about that!" Natsu exclaimed as he immediately bent over in a bow. "Thank you Zin-sempai."

Zin Naga Naga 'Demi-Prince' - Jounin - Naga Clan Head - Taijutsu Master - Legend of Shuntensatsu Zin waited and took a small little moment to pause to let Natsu equip his weights. Waiting until those metal weights gave the symbol of 'Juuji Go ban (15 )', Zin nodded and smiled,"Correct. As you can probably see at this moment, your body doesn't like what it's feeling. But in a about a month they, will be practically like another ornament of clothing to you. And that will be when we will boost the weights once again." The child said as he was about to get into a fighting stance until he heard the other say thank you. It rather startled Zin as his slitted eyes widened briefly before he shook his head," It is nothing... You shall become a prodigy amongst your peers like I was." And with that, the child moved slowly into a fighting stance.
Taking his usual utilization of the old Taijutsu-styles of the Ninja world, Zin held himself up right in a white crane fighting stance. Right hand turned upside down and lightly outstretched towards Natsu, while his left hand hovered lightly over his forearm. His feet lay lightly parted from each other as his right foot, which lay shadowing his outstretched right hand, was placed a little forwards,"Get into your fighting stance that you feel the most comfortable in. The first technique you shall learn is the Houshou Fist. If you get an open blow upon your opponent, this technique will send a shock wave of force through their limbs upon connecting." Zin said as he waited patiently for Natsu to take his stance before demonstrating the technique.

Natsu DragonilGenin l Salamander l TaijutsuThink ya can handle my heat?
Natsu was still fidgeting, trying to get used to the heavier feeling. He still had a smile on his face as Zin replied to his thanks. Natsu noticed that Zin seemed to lack social skills, and clearly thought highly of himself. No matter, he was strong, and was teaching him. Natsu watched Zin get into his stance. It was refined and graceful, opposite of Natsu's.
Natsu's left leg slid forward, as well as his left hand, palm open and thumb bent inward. His right arm retracted to his side, balling into a fist with the fingers skyward. Zin's words drifted into his mind, Natsu clinging to each carefully, not wanting to screw it up. "Houshou fist, shockwave of force...Will we be using dummies to demonstrate or..." He hadn't though of using his own body as a punching bag, nor did he fear doing so. It was obvious he was only curious.

Zin Naga Naga 'Demi-Prince' - Jounin - Naga Clan Head - Taijutsu Master - Legend of Shuntensatsu Zin's eyes remained quite fixated upon Natsu as he noticed the older one's discomfort. He knew the same feeling long ago but once he gets used to the pain, he'll become quite a dominating force. Probably even stronger than Zin, as the child didn't like focusing solely one strength and muscle; one reason the child was remaining so lithe and giving off the 'skinny' stereo-type.
The child was about to attack before hearing Natsu make up a valid point. Zin was going to make Natsu fight while learning the technique, wanting him to be able to perform the move in the heat of battle so that when it happens it can happen almost unconsciously. Retracting from his stance Zin tilted his head before smiling," I think I'll let you play with a nasty little jutsu." He said softly as Zin walked over to the side of the roof before finally jumping off. After a nice graceful landing, the child searched for a nice little soft patch of dirt before weaving through a set of hand-seals and calmly announcing,"Tsuchi: Bushin no Jutsu." And with that, out of the lightly muddied earth arose two replica's of the Demi-Prince, who all appeared back upon the roof. Facing his one clone's, Zin began the lesson," The Houshou fist... or palm depending on your preference or how you like to see your opponent suffer... Is an attack that is simple yet affective." Getting into a basic fighting stance, rather the stances one would utilize when they first are learning a lick of Taijutsu, Zin took a step forwards and launched his palm out; but with a twist. Instead of striking with his palm like a Hyuuga, Zin had his fingers tilted inwards forming a 'claw' like feature. Once more adding that ancient twist of Taijutsu to the modern works. But the fingering wasn't the only thing that the little Naga did to make the technique look so impressive. He took an extra step towards his clone and as he took a step, Zin added an extra little 'twitch' of his hips. As if giving the technique another level of torque, when he struck the clone it was sent flying across the roof and slammed viciously into the railing. With how the Zin clone hit the railing, it's back bent back to a rather unnatural level before breaking apart into mud once more. The child hissed softly underneath his breath,"I didn't hit him hard enough it seems."Distasting his failure of not completely obliterating the clone earlier before looking back to Natsu with a softer expression,"The first key to this technique is hand placement. Do you want a direct blow with a fist... or a blow that will expand utilizing the palm. The second, is being lower than your opponent. Never fight height with height. And lastly, utilize your hips at the last second and flick them while you are striking. This will add to the power of your blow, Natsu-san." Zin said sa he backed up and let the other clone that was created to come before Natsu and get into the fighting stance that Natsu was doing. Waiting for the child to make an attempt to hit it..."When you get the techniques I teach you today... You will fight him." He said softly, nodding to the clone that kept it's eyes locked onto Natsu; making it quite known, that it wasn't going to simply stand their and be annihilated like his brethern who fell a few moments ago.Chakra:85-3= 82 E Ranked Techniques: 42 D Ranked Techniques: 28-1=29 C Ranked Techniques: 17 B Ranked Techniques: 12 A Ranked Techniques: 9 S Ranked Techniques: 3

Natsu DragonilGenin l Salamander l TaijutsuThink ya can handle my heat?
As Zin moved around and spoke, Natsu was unnaturally focused on listening. Training and fighting were the only two times when he became totally serious and intent on winning. When the clones of Zin arrived, Natsu angled his head to the side, wondering what Zin was to do. He studied the stance that he got into, and the way his fingers curled in. The extra step, and the twitch of the hips was not missed either. Zin looked as if this was adding his entire body weight into it, as the clone went flying backward, smashing into the rail and returning to its natural state. The height was an issue, as Natsu was fairly tall. This was solved with his stance, in which he usually stayed low to the ground.
When Zin finished speaking and giving orders, Natsu merely grunted in acknowledgment and ran forth to the clone, running not at his full speed, due to the weights attached to him. He thrust out his left hand, which was curled into a fist, and aimed straight for Zin's Clones chest, intending to go for a direct attack right on its diaphragm. Eventually, with strength like Zin's, Natsu hoped to be able to crack ribs and damage inner organs.

Zin Naga Naga 'Demi-Prince' - Jounin - Naga Clan Head - Taijutsu Master - Legend of Shuntensatsu Zin nodded as the child watched carefully. Making sure Natsu took heed to not only how he struck but the stance in which he utilized when he struck. With Natsu being taller, he'd have a harder time fighting lower opponents unless he dips lower. Which thankfully he did.
Once he saw the strike, Zin giggled that eerie giggle before acknowledging the accomplishment,"Very good Natsu-san. Next, we'll attempt another technique." Forming a single hand seal and exerting a little chakra, the clone that was destroyed returned to it's original glory as if nothing had occurred. Forking out just the similar chakra as he usually would but this time the clone's true ability would be seen."Similarly, there is a technique in which we do the same thing, but aim towards the ground. It is known as the Asshou Palm. If your opponent is grounded, you utilize the same body mechanics,"Zin said as he took a step back and raised his palm out. But unlike the 'clawed' figure that he once had his hand in the same up, it was in more of a light cupped shape of the hand. In where the hands are just slightly tilted forwards while palm itself remained quite arched,"You crush your opponent to the floor."Zin stated as his palm shot down. Upon connecting onto the roof, the titles of the roofing rattled violently while debris and rubble blasted away from the young Naga as if there was an explosive tag underneath him.
Once the debris finally settled, Natsu would see Zin pulling himself from the crater which wasn't too big, but it was big enough to strike a concious thought that if someone was underneath him their doom would be sealed then and there." But the problem with this technique... Not many people lay on the ground long enough for you to perform this technique." Zin stated as he began to walk, lightly circling Natsu in a predator manner as he taught,"With this knowledge... One would say this move is useless. In which they should be cut and hung by the entrails. Tell me Natsu, how would you attack an opponent, utilizing the Asshou Palm whilst them still standing up?" Zin questioned as, at the end of his statement, the re-erected Zin clone sprung forth into an offensive assault. Launching into the air and performing a three-sixty kick, in which the upon that last turn the clone's leg slowly widened out, before flicking a round house straight to Natsu's dome. Making him think on his feet and not ponder about it in the least," Think Natsu..." Zin hissed as he watched the fight occur." What can you do, to make this technique affective for fights that usually have both participants on their feet?" The child inquired as the clone continued, or would attempt to continue, to bring Natsu fierce competition in attacks. Though it was lower than half the power of Zin's true self, the clone would prove quite a fierce opponent as the knowledge it had was still of the Demi-Prince and his merciless method of fighting.

Natsu felt good that he had gotten the technique on his first try, and was ready for the next. Aiming towards the ground, Zin created a crater by smashing his hand into it. To be aiming down, would normally require being at a higher angle, perhaps coming down from an attack. Having an opponent on his feet as well, would obviously provide an obstacle. Natsu could use his speed, and attack from their blind spot. Or he could swipe their legs from under them, rise, and slam his fist into their body, sending them downward to the earth. The easiest way would be to immobilize them with some sort of jutsu, or to completely catch them off guard. His thoughts were cut short, just before he was about to respond, as the clone attacked him. Natsu had not been paying much attention to it, but heard the sound of his shoe scraping as it pushed off. He turned his head, only to see a foot flying at him. Natsu just barely managed to duck down, realizing he would not be left to his thoughts. As the kick passed over head, Natsu pivoted, sticking one leg out and spinning as the clone landed, in an attempt to swipe its legs out from under its body. He would then use his natural speed, rise, and slam his fist into it if this worked.

Hiniko made it to the academy and at last spotted Zin. A soft but reserved smile graced her face. She watched in silence as he seemingly was training another student. She hadn't seen this student before and she wandered what interest Zin had in training him.
She moved slightly closer to the two, her hands folded in front of her. She watched in silence curious as to what the two were doing. She didn't interupt but she dearly needed to talk to Zin.
She gussed this was her first lesson in patience. She sat down on a small post near by, resting her feet fore a moment. She had been running around trying to find Zin.
Watching him fight now, she couldn't help but to be jealous. He was so fluid and aware in his movements, he was very skilled..and very lital. Everything she needed..for her own reasons of course. She cotinued to watch analyzing the moves so that perhaps she could use this information i her own fighting.]/color]

Zin Naga Naga 'Demi-Prince' - Jounin - Naga Clan Head - Taijutsu Master - Legend of Shuntensatsu Zin prowled the fight from a distance. Giving Natsu and his clone space to fight close enough that he could see every exchange of blows between them. " Tch...Think Natsu-san... Think.. Your getting warmer... but at your current strength level," The child said, mentioning more about the weights that kept baring down on his fresh limbs,"Until you can be more comfortable with those weights. You have to rely on something else to produce the speed. Your speed is decreased because you are not accustomed to the weights just yet. Your are strong Natsu-san... Until you get used to those weights, find a method speed you up and perform the 'Asshou Palm!' " Witnessing his students abilities drove a happy lust for fighting and sparked that bloodlust within his insane mine before his sharp toothed grin faded when he heard Nagi hiss. Zin nodded seeing as they had a familiar guest but he couldn't attend to her just yet, especially since Natsu was getting so close to getting to what Zin was hinting."You'll need to set up the technique to do it."The child hinted as his clone continued it's attack. Knowing exactly what it's master was saying and would give Natsu a further hint to see if he would understand.
The Clone grinned darkly, just as it landed upon the top portion of it's toes. Seeing the sweep initiate the clone had only one or two choices. With it being a Doton-styled clone, it could take some damage and with the knowledge of the Naga prince it was going to fuse those two positives and give this Genin a good challenge to obtain this technique as well as it's other method of use. From the very moment the top of it's foot touched ground, and noticed the action to post up a rather devious sweep from Natsu, the Naga Clone utilized it's knowledge of the ever fluid style of fighting Zin learned and dropped straight down. Not thinking about stopping the motion the least as it tempted to keep the fluidity of every form. Squatting down and taking the knowledge that usually most sweeps are aimed towards the lower portion of the Achilles Tendon, Zin as he squatted down kept his ankle up and bounced a little as he remained on his tippy toes to absorb his descent. Reasoning for this, was quite simple as it was dirty. With Zin's foot, making an acute angle with the ground, the child had anticipated 'catching' and halting the sweep that Natsu performed as the looked over it's shoulder and glared at Natsu while the true Zin spoke,"Good move... I shall teach you how to do it the Konoha way... but be careful to those that know about sweeps." Zin hissed softly as the attempting catch of the sweep was only a move to get Natsu close enough and halted long enough for the child clone to do a move that is quite difficult to pull off because the opportunity never truly rises up.
For, within the second that he either blocked or 'caught' said trapped foot, Zin would immediately do a little hop forwards in where the upper portion of his body would look like a donkey on it's forelegs, while Zin's reacted feet looked like hooves about to viciously recoil. This move was better known as the Donkey Kick within the Taijutsu Style that... man taught him. With his feet and legs pressed together the clone shot back in a hard recoil; powered by not only the child firing back his feet but also pushing off with his arms to provide more speed and power to the hit. Depending on the outcome, would depend on the next technique the clone would utilize. If it hit, the power of the blow would send the pink haired one back a couple of feet in which Zin would continue the momentum of his kick and go into a back-handspring to quickly close out the distance. Being that he held back for the sake of his student, the clone would have in the worst situation knocked some air out of the body which would delay the reaction of the body even in the slightest. In which the Zin clone would bounce out of the back hand spring by doing a corkscrew on that last flip before reaching Natsu with his foot raised sky high; known better as the Tsutenkyu or the 'Painful Sky Leg.' Or, to those quite ignorant to this move, an Ax Kick would be the more universal word of the technique. If Zin missed, then that would mean he'd simply do the same thing, but only perform one backhand-spring before jetting at Natsu. In which he'd feint in doing another three-sixty tornado kick but instead jump up and do an aerial Tsutenkyu once more. Both hints were hidden within the strikes in which would decipher what Zin was speaking of earlier.
As Zin watched his clone do what he would've done in the situation, the child hissed as he spoke to Natsu,"Watch carefully. The answer to perform the 'Asshou Palm' to a standing opponent is in my clone's attack. Seek it... For if you can't get your opponent to the ground with a sweep... What is your other option?"The child said, continuing to watch his student and pushing him hard with each passing second as he hoped he caught was Zin was hinting and his clone was hinting. Seeing as both of those techniques, are grounded techniques but to add power the child took the moves to the air. Making them become more versatile in combat and not restricting them to only one area. When Zin felt it was a good time to let his mind drift a little the child didn't look back as he spoke,"Welcome back Onee-chan. It is good to see my elder sister again... Have you... made a decision? Make sure it is right with your heart. Because there will be no turning back." The child said. Knowing that Natsu would be far too busy to worry about what Zin was speaking about, but even so, Hiniko would be the only true person that would understand what Zin meant by a 'decision.'

Hiniko continued to sit and watch. Zin was truly a great teacher, she couldn't wait to start training under him. This little fight was interesting, and she wandered if she herself would be learning this. But her mind couldn't stay thinking on that. She wass till waging a war inside of herself. Each side of herself fighting to see if this was truly right. She knew her consequences of this, she knew what was at stake. And she knew what her heart wanted.
She didn't want any of this, she wanted all of this evil to be over with, and she just wanted to relax like everything in the world will be okay. abaut it won't and everything is not okay. She was weak, she found only one way to help her and she had to take it.
She didn't look away from the ground as Zin finally adressed her, but she blinked a few times trying to clear her head. Yes, she had to do this. "I'm glad to see you too, it's been a while" she paused again, "but yes, I know what I want" her voice was rathe rformal and withdrawn. Not at all like the old Hiniko was liked to try and smile all the time. She was more.....hidden inside herself again, much like her first day of becoming a ninja, when noone was close to her. She wasn't even sure Zin was close now though he was like her brother.
And Vincent...was she hurting him because she was going to do this. Then again she hadn't heard from him in ages, did he care? She pushed the thoghts aside, doubt is what made her fail last time. She relied to mcuh on others.
"I know what I wan't" she said again but softer this time finally looking up at Zin.

Natsu DragonilGenin l Salamander l TaijutsuThink ya can handle my heat?
Natsu's foot stopped at Zin's, in which the little anime sweat drop scene occured. He hadn't expected this to have been able to stop him, but again, he had been too cocky. Natsu listened to Zin while the clone leaned forth, and shot its legs out. His first instinct was to bring his arms up, and block, though he did skid backward some feet. He rose to his feet, and back peddled as the clone performed the back hand spring, and then jump in the air, spinning and attempting to ax kick him. Natsu turned, and literally ran. At first, this would seem as if he was running from the fight, but he immediately came to a wall, in which he used his full speed to run up a few steps, and then jump off, spinning in the air, and at the same time performing hand seals. He created a clone in the air, which put its feet on his. Natsu and the clone mirrored each other, squatting, though with Natsu aimed at the Zin clone. The clone pushed its legs out, shooting Natsu forth, creating the momentum he'd need for this. Obviously, Natsu picked up on the entire aerial thing. His arm cocked back, and shot forth as he descended upon the clone, his hand enclosed into a fist as he tried to hit the closest body part; the head.

Zin Naga Naga 'Demi-Prince' - Jounin - Naga Clan Head - Taijutsu Master - Legend of Shuntensatsu As Zin watched, the child kept his ears out for Hiniko's decision. He didn't mind her taking time to think as it was indeed a life changing decision that will change the entire outcome of her life. But if she truly desired to no longer have the notion of being a weakling, Zin needed her commitment at one-hundred percent. Unfortunately... she failed him with her response. The child giggled nonetheless and hiss," My dearest sister... Do not play me."Zin said softly as he kept his eyes looked on Natsu and his battle prowess. Liking what he was seeing and indeed even more so when his student was getting what Zin was talking about."I need your hundred percent confident in this matter. There is no second thoughts about this. Either you wish to become strong... or remained held back in this village." Zin turned his head finally as his slitted eyes, somewhat glowed darkly underneath that veil of jet black hair that covered the pale one's youthful and somewhat cute-sinister face,"I love you Onee-chan. But your mentality is weak... The darkness I see binds you but you keeping onto the past is keeping it from growing... as well as keeping you from growing." Zin turned his head back just in time to see Natsu performing his little clone technique as Zin smiled, That's what I was looking for... Good job Natsu-san. He thought to himself as his clone became obliderated by Natsu's attack. But, just as soon as it was destroyed, the clone slowly began to reform, the mud that was separated after the attack slowly gathered itself back together. The perfect technique for exhausting an enemy if in-fact Zin wanted to release more hordes of his father's creation." I will give you another chance to answer me, Hiniko-chan. Do you want to become powerful... gain revenge on those that gave you pain... and control the nation as you see fit. Or do you wish to stay here... And stay begin a Genin for another year?" It was tough love... true. Zin loved Hiniko as she was the only person other than Matsuya that he could call family material. But because of that, Zin had to push Hiniko harder to become what he knew she could be. It would take time yes but he had faith in her... the only thing was she needed faith in herself.

Hiniko listened to Zins responce and couldn't deny the fact that it annoyed her, and more than shocked her a little. What he was saying was completly true, she had to give up on everything. All of it, everything that attatched her to this...weak part of her live. She didn't want to be held back anymore, and though she admitted that Zin scared her a little bit with the way he spoke to her, she could look past that. That is why she had come seeking him out was it not? This time when she spoke she was confadent.
"I'll do whatever it takes, you're right, I know that I can be stronger. I'll give up whatever it is that is keeping me from that goal." she paused though not in doubt. "That's why I came to look for you after all" She couldn't help but to smile slightly at the anticipation of being better, as good as Zin maybe. That was her goal, her goal was to be better than Zin at some point. She clenched her fists.
"I have no doubt anymore" and even as she spoke it she hoped that Zin would beleive her. She spoke strongly, and the words she spoke made herself beleive too. She could do this, she WOULD do this. She had her goal set now.
(I might loose internet tomarrow, if I do I am horribly sorry! >< )

Natsu DragonilGenin l Salamander l TaijutsuThink ya can handle my heat?
Natsu felt a feeling of happiness as his hand went through the clone, obliterating it. So he had been correct in his assumption to use momentum and his own weight as the force to push him forth. When he destroyed the clone, it began to reform, much to his dismay. Natsu put his arms forth, since the force of his push had thrown off his balance, and he landed on his hands, bending them to take the impact. An idea sparked in his brain at that moment. He had seen Zin perform a move in this same position. So, Natsu smirked, to the point where his fangs showed. He bended his legs to him, and then launched them out backward, using his hands to push him backward, that way using his strength to hit the clone again.

Zin Naga Naga 'Demi-Prince' - Jounin - Naga Clan Head - Taijutsu Master - Legend of Shuntensatsu Zin awaited Hinko's response as he would let her think it over. It was indeed a hard decision to say the least, but even so, Zin had to give her time and not push her towards the subject. The mistake his father made, was pushing people into following his way... and it back-fired tremendously on him. To combat this, Zin decided he'd instead to recruit only the willing... and then submit those that he truly desired into his grasps through fear. The paralyzing emotion that can make even the toughest nin drop to his or her knee and beg for mercy. Zin had a method of doing just that, but first he needed a decent group with him to initiate his very first move against the world of the ninja.
As Zin waited, he watched Natsu moving forth to throw another strike to his clone. The Naga child sighed a little as Zin was going to teach him one more technique before calling it a day, but he decided it would be better... if his clone show him the next technique."So far... I've taught you how to attack... Now, learn of your defense." Zin hissed from his distance to Natsu, not telling him exactly what technique he was going to learn just yet. When the child shot back towards his clone, which made Zin giggle a little seeing Natsu attempting to learn the 'Doggie Kick' off of seeing it just once, Zin's clone simply crouched and waited for the feet come into the correct distance. Once the clone was sure Natsu was fully committed into the air and into the technique the clone instantly moved forwards into a deep front stance. Or, a stance in where one foot is placed forwards and the knee if bent, whilst the other leg is pushed straight back. Both feet could be facing towards the opponent, as was the chest of the clone who immediately crossed it's arms over it's body to protect itself. The arms would take the shape of an 'X' across his chest while it blocked with the outer portion of it's fore arms, only turning the block in mid-cushioning of the attack so that his inner forearms would be blocking the attack. Reasoning for this was, the attack is strong by itself so utilizing the inner portion of one's forearms would highly damage the user. So, instead the user would utilize their outer forearm... but now for the reasoning for the quick switch in the mist of being attacked. It was simple really, after absorbing the bulk of the technique, the clone would switch it's arm-positioning so that it could now grab at Natsu's exposed feet. Attempting to get a nice tight hold on those feet, the clone would then move to sling and slam Natsu into the roof 'floor.' A simple counter and slam in this simple yet affective defensive move.
As Zin waited to see the outcome, he heard Hiniko's voice coming stronger than before. Stronger, more firm, and more determined. The child was quite happy to hear this tone as his small pale face gave a friendly composition,"That is what I wanted to hear Onee-chan. We can begin training tomorrow if you like." He said softly as the child indeed needed to get a little bit stronger himself. Zin was about to depart from the village pretty soon and he most definitely needed to see this... village.. that he heard had re-erected in his promise land. Zin touched the earring which held the symbol of the Naga upon it... the same one his father had utilized so many years ago,"Soon father... your vengeance will flow through me."He thought quietly to himself before looking back up to Natsu to see how he would react.. as well as hoping he saw the move his clone utilized to block and retaliate to his strike.
