XXXXXGiving a deep sigh of annoyance Mikoto walked into the sparring fields behind the Dojo, though he saw no one actually sparring which was a good thing mostly because he didn’t want to have to avoid being hit by accident. With a soft sigh he sat in the open fields and closed his eyes, imagining a time when things were just fine. It all part of this training regimen he was giving himself. He was going to build up his chakra pool by meditating and calming his own aura for the time being. By doing this, he could tap into hidden possibilities, or so a banner said outside the academy when he was younger by a year. he didn’t know if it would actually work, but he knew he would just have to try. It was more of a curiosity sake sort of situation is the reason he did it. he knew that the possibility of it working were a bit of a stretch, but he didn’t doubt that it would work. After all, why would people put up a banner if something wasn’t possible?
XXXXXDrifting from the reality he was in previously he felt himself land in a pool of a bright blue water. The surrounding area was pitch black and to not be seen. It was just him in this pool of water that seemed to give him confidence and strength. The pool he was in began to grow larger until he found himself in a pond instead of a pool. It was both amazing and horrifying at the same time. he didn’t know which emotion he really wanted to feel right now.
XXXXXMikoto couldn't help but find this pool to be larger and larger every second he looked around. The water grew brighter every time he looked into it as well. Eventually he couldn’t bring himself to look at it because it appeared to be bottomless. Nothing but water as far as the eye could see. From what he could gather this wasn't a pool of water, instead being comprised entirely of his chakra. If this giant pool was his chakra, then he would probably never run out, or so he was beginning to feel, his confidence grew by the minute in this pool. Once he was tired of sitting in the pool, the world around him began to crumble. he awoke from his meditation still sitting on the grass, his boredom slightly relieved. Mikoto stood up and dusted himself off and prepared for his next moment of training. he knew it wouldn’t be too long though, not like this.
XXXXXThankfully he knew what the next set of chakra training exercises, he was hoping to complete as many of these exercises as possible to be of any help to his Anbu squad. With that goal in mind he inhaled softly, before exhaling lazily as he thought about how to release chakra. Most of his chakra would naturally come from his mouth, something that naturally happened as a result of him taking up smoking during his training trip. It didn’t really bother him though, he knew better than to ponder these complicated concepts. It would only end up causing him to get riled up, which wouldn't be good for anyone in the end. And so with that thought in mind, he decided to begin his training. Closing his eyes he exhaled a large amount of chakra through his mouth.
XXXXXMikoto continued releasing chakra from his system. Over and over he did this until he was practically almost out of it. It wasn’t easy but somehow he managed to do this. It was all part of what needed to be done. This is what he kept telling himself anyways. It was sort of a way of getting himself through this pesky process. Finally finished with such an annoying exercise Mikoto couldn't help but lay back on the grass behind him, reaching into his coat to retrieve a small pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Pulling one of the cancer sticks from it's pack he brought it to his lips, retrieving his lighter before flicking it open to light his cigarette. Inhaling sharply he pulled the stick from his mouth, exhaling the grey smoke into the air slowly.

XXXXXOpening his eyes slowly Mikoto would turn his head softly, glancing up at his Otouto with bored eyes. Giving a soft hum of thought he reached his hand up, pulling his cigarette from his mouth before blowing a small amount of smoke into the air in front of his face. With that done he returned the cancer stick to it's previous position, sitting up from his laying position to turn and face Kazama. With that done he would stand up fully, his height dwarfing that of his younger brother rather easily. Cracking his neck loudly the red-haired male gave a soft nod, his lazy voice echoing throughout the small clearing they were standing in as he spoke. "Very well..though I suggest we limit it to Bukijutsu only for the moment..I'd rather not throw Ninjutsu in at the moment." Pulling his cigarette from his lips Mikoto allowed the remains of it to fall to earth below before stomping out the flame. Stuffing his hands in his pockets he looked up at the sky, his body leaning back slightly to allow him a better view of the blue sky.

XXXXXGiving a deep sigh of annoyance Mikoto took the cigarette from his lips, flicking it off into the grass before stomping the flame out slowly. Stuffing his hands in the pockets of his long leather and fur jacket the Shinsetsu clan heir decided to initiate the spar himself, is three Katana hanging loosely at his left hip. Deciding perhaps it was time to show his Otouto just who the boy was messing with Mikoto shifted his piercing amber gaze fully onto Kazama. To most people it felt as if they were staring at a lion baring it's fangs, so he silently wondered just what his Otouto was feeling. Just as he was about to speak he heard the sound of wings flapping quietly in the background. Giving a soft sigh he turned towards the messenger bird, retrieving the letter before patting it's head and sending it off. With that done he opened the scroll, reading the contents swiftly before setting it ablaze with his cigarette lighter. With that done he spoke to his brother, the dangerous tone in his voice as great as ever."Ah...you seem to have gotten rather cocky in my absence Otouto...what am I going to do with you? Sadly I can't finish our spar...it seems I must visit Noctis for something." With that said the male let his dangerous aura disperse, replaced with his usual laziness. Turning on his heel he strode slowly from the dojo, heading off towards the Hokage's office slowly. [Exit]

Atteharu sighed, he only trained a little after a year, it was time to get down and into the pure training. He went to a training dummy, ready for this to go on. He quickly moved in order to kick the dummy, and after that two more appearances of himself appeared, in order to kick the same target. Well...that was easy, he was told this stuff was suppose to be complex. Oh well, he shrugged. Moving on. [Learned - Triple Kick C Rank]
Moving on to the next thing, he would spin the dummy around. This was to emulate an attack on himself. He would look carefully at the dummy's moving how it was and then block it's limb swinging at him. After blocking, the lower half of his body doubled, and then sent a kick at the dummy,. The dummy moved back a bit, he simply shook his head. "This is so easy! Why!?" He questioned, frowning. He was told these were suppose to be hard. [Learned - Counter Clone C Rank]
Atteharu would soon move on to the next technique. This one was probably going to be easy as well. He had to emulate falling though. This time, he pretty much, tripped himself. Using the momentum of the falling, his body swung around, delivering a punch to the dummy. An after image that seemed to be doing the same would be created, and deliver a follow up punch in the same direction. He shook his head, that was really easy... [Learned - Falling Punch C Rank]
Atteharu expect this one to at least be harder than the others. He removed the scroll he picked up from this and read over it. He needed to create an after image sturdy enough to block. He knew how to do that, it was similar to attacking, but the fact stood that this meant it'd need to keep form for a bit. He nodded, and then sighed, closing the scroll time to move on to training it now. -Post 1
He soon enough would be channeling his chakra. It flared up quite wildly, like how he normally would be training when he was channeling chakra. He sighed a bit, breathing deeply, and releasing his breath. His mouth moving in a way that showed he was doing such. The chakra supressed itself and became a kind of focused entity around his body. He nodded.
Jumping back he would let the chakra take form. The chakra around his body becoming a sort of clone, that remained present for a while. It was likely enough time to block something oncoming and then a bit more. He nodded and then sighed. It was time to move on to the next list of taijutsu he wanted to use. [Learned - After-Wall B Rank]
The whole first stage of this, was meditation. He sighed, sitting down, folding his legs, and then breathing. His chakra flaring and spinning around his body. Soon resembling that of fire. It was awkward. but none the less, it was there. He had to understand what fire actually was. It was always moving, never stopping, and bursting. He understood now. {Fire: Bursting [Hou: Pao]}
His chakra began to change from the flame like appearance into a more rocky like appearance. Thick chunks, understanding the meaning to stand your ground. Overpower one's attacking with his own extreme amounts of defensive capabilities. More or less a never moving substance that stands strong. {Earth: Crossing [Tu: Heng]}
His chakra once more changed into something even harder than earth, yet in a way different. As opposed to the rocky appearance, it was more of a metallic, and sleek chakra. It stood still as well, yet more resembled power than defensive capabilities. Fleeting power though, nothing that would be made strong. Metal was breakable, easily breakable in fact. Just as such, so would the metallic chakra. {Metal: Splitting [Jin: Pi]}
Next after the metal, it seemed the chakra formed into a more liquid like appearance. Flowing around him, and engulfing his body. It looked almost as if it would drown someone, but it wasn't, it couldn't. It was so soft, yet so powerful. It always flowed, it was like fire, but at the same time it was different, stronger than fire itself. It's abilities of force to destroy beyond walls. {Water: Drillng [Shui: Zuan]}
Finally, the liquid would seem to settle, and from his body, the chakra would grow. Almost appearing to be tree like. Branches coming off the chakra, and then linking into the trunk of the tree. He breathed out, the wooden like chakra told him of sorts. It was that, combinations of things were what could win and were what was powerful here. He breathed in and then out once more. The chakra dying down, as he exausted himself. He took breaths and then just layed back. It was time for a break before he finished jutsu training. {Wood: Smothering [Mu: Beng]}
Jun Kimura Genin - Konohagakure - Ninjutsu/Taijutsu - Katon AC = 4,000 - Ryo = 2,800 - Chakra = 305 - Stamina = 255
A year seemed to go by so fast, Jun really hadn't spent it doing much, other than taking a mission and training a bit more. Now all that was left to do was to start another day and begin training.
Jun had come down to the dojo, to check on her fellow Konohagakure shinobi and perhaps get some more training done. That was when she spotted her fellow teammate, the red headed Hyuuga guy. She watched with some interest as he learned some techniques that she herself already knew. "So it seems we'll know the same style..." she commented, speaking up once the other had paused for long enough.
Atteharu smiled as he heard a familiar voice coming from nearby. Looking over to her as he nodded. "Guess So, how've you been?" He questioned her, although he thought the answer was going to be something apathetic or something of the sort. He didn't completely know either. He simply asked to ask. Not like she'd care that he asked.

With a soft shrug of her shoulders, Jun verbally replied "Fine." The last year had seemed very slow to her, aside from missions and training and such. At this point she really should have been a chuunin, but she hadn't bothered to apply for the promotion yet."What about you?"
Atteharu looked and Jun, who gave a somewhat expected answer. He nodded though. "Training...that's about it...oh, I signed up for the chunnin exams...even though I don't really need to, I figured why not." He said to her, as he yawned and then stretched a bit to loosen himself up as he turned away from Jun, walking over to a small bag he had with him, then spoke as he leaned down and dug through the bag. "Are you hungry?" He asked her, before pulling out two sandwiches he made and bagged to keep them somewhat fresh. Tossing one of them over to her whether her answer was yes or no. He sat down, and pulled out two cans of coffee. Tossing one of them to her as well, he would open his sandwich and begin to eat it. "Come on, sit with me and eat." He said with a smile on his face.

Just training and joining the chuunin exams... sounded about right. Jun could technically join since she was still of the genin rank, but it seemed like more of a hassle than needed. She didn't answer when asked if she was hungry, but she caught the sandwich and the can of coffee. Not quite what she was in the mood for, but she didn't mind coffee or a sandwich. She'd move over and take a seat next to Haru, opening up the bag that had her sandwich and beginning to eat.
"When terror threatens all that remains in the world, and rage and greed rule the planet, remember this: He who knows peace can understand what others can not, they can see with unimpaired clarity, and they act with the rationale and calm that humans, should act towards one another. Not hatred and fury." ╔══════════════════════════════╗ Theme Song of Kamui Endo Shinsetsu
Kamui made his way into the Dojo, letting out a soft sigh as his eyes lazily scanned the area. A few others were here, but hopefully they wouldn't be too much of a distraction to him. He would walk off to an isolated area in the Dojo, a place where he could keep to himself and concentrate. The light patter of his boots against the ground would cease as he made it to the area and sat down. Closing his eyes, he would put his entire focus on himself and his chakra, blocking all outside disturbances from interfering. Placing his hands together, he would begin making hand seals, one at a time, calling them out by name in his mind. 'Tori. I. Inu. Tatsu. Ushi...' He would continue this, repeating the sequence of all the hand seals quicker than before each time. Still calling out the names in his head, his hands would soon adjust to the way the hand seals are formed, moving at a much faster pace than normal. 'Tora. Me. Ne. Uma. Saru. U. Hitsuji...' His body, mind, and soul, all in sync, concentrating on the very movement of his hands. The execution of his hand seals were now much faster, more controlled, with less mistakes, but he knew he could go faster. His hands would feel as if they weren't even there to him, moving at a blur, although he wouldn't know that, because he couldn't see them. His hand sealing seemed to be perfected as of now, but he could definitely work on his speed some more. Letting his hands rest at his knees, he would center his concentration on his chakra. Placing his hands together with a single seal, he would let his chakra rise within him, as if her were attempting to form a technique, and then let it settle. Repeating this, he would change the course of his chakra throughout his body, letting it travel to his arms, legs, and throat. He could feel the strong movement of his chakra, strong enough that the materialization started to form around his body. The chakra would form a bluish aura around him, taking the image of a snowfall in the gentle breeze. It would actually start to feel cold within his proximity, the gentle winds would continue to blow. Kamui continued the manipulation of his chakra, raising it, settling it, and letting it travel throughout his body. He was adjusting to the movements of his chakra, which would make it that much easier to perform techniques with hands or his sword. Wait... that's right, his sword. He trained himself in the art of the Mystic Hero, giving him the ability to use Ninjutsu without hand seals when wielding a sword. His eyes remaining closed, he would lower his hand to his left hip, dragging his fingers across to hilts attached to his body. He would draw one from its sheath, a crisp sound coming from it as he did so. He would wave it in a calm, meditative motion, feeling the chakra surge through his arm and into his sword. He couldn't feel that the chakra was within his sword just yet, but he knew it was there. Putting the sword back into it's sheath, he would open his eyes, exhaling deeply and calmly.
[Basic Training: Meditate - Complete x2]
With that done, he would work on his chakra performance. He didn't have many techniques other than the ones he learned in the academy. With a sigh, he would stand up, stretching his arms and legs and deciding how he should go about training his chakra performance. He would begin by walking to a wall, channeling chakra to his feet, he would walk up the wall, very calmly and slowly. The atmosphere to him felt very different, as if he was defying gravity, even though he can still feel the pull of gravity against him even as he walked up the wall now. His boots would tap softly against the wall, as he pulled his sword from his sheath and would wave it around, performing basic kata techniques he learned at a young age. Without these basic forms of kata, it would be impossible to wield a sword, and master it, or even land or counter an attack on your enemies. Deep in thought, his toes would meet with the corner that the ceiling and the wall would connect to, nearly hitting his head on the ceiling itself. Letting out a sigh, he would take a few steps back, keeping a steady amount of chakra flowing through his feet to remain on the wall. Lifting one leg ahead, he would plant it firmly against the ceiling. He would pause for a moment, crossing his arms while holding the sword, closing his eyes. A flashback would occur back to his training days in the Academy, "Hn." He would reply, opening his eyes and planting the other foot against the ceiling. Now standing upseide down, he could feel his hair being affected by the gravity, his long dark Orchid colored pony tail falling out of his jacket and hung low before his head. Kamui had very long hair, and lots of it, so he would make a habit of cutting his hair, or keeping it controlled when he didn't want his hair getting in his way. With a sigh, he would form a single hand seal, illusions of clones appearing at his side. Within moments, they would simply fade into the air around him, like nothing. Removing the chakra from his feet, he would begin a descent towards the ground below him. Flipping gracefully within the air, he would land firmly on his feet, knees buckled and his sword within his sheath, as one knee would be knelt against the floor. Without saying a word, he would simply stand, letting his pony tail fall to the side of his shoulder.

XXXXXStepping silently through the doors of the Dojo Mikoto glanced about with a calm gaze, watching the various Shinobi train and rest from training. He needed to step up his own training and finish learning the styles he'd selected if he was going to be of any use to his Anbu squad. Walking past the purple haired boy who seemed to be doing chakra training, Mikoto stepped up to one of the training posts off towards the side of the dojo, staring down at it with a blank look. He was about to begin his Tanisoko training, hoping to get most of that done before being sent on any important missions that might require him to fight. Stepping towards one of the many posts lining the dojo the red-head retrieved a simple pair of black Tonfa’s with a single piece of silver tape at the ends of both of them. Spinning them about by the handle, Mikoto looked them over silently, making sure they would be able to handle the stress he’d put them through with his training.
XXXXXFinding them well enough to use the red-head stepped forward slowly, preparing to begin learning the style. Thankfully it wasn’t too hard to start out with, something he needed at the moment after traveling for so long on his mission. Raising his arms, Tonfa’s in hand the male glanced forward, shifting his body so his non-dominant side was facing the dummy. With that done he raised his arms even further, reaching nearly shoulder height as he stood there. This would allow him more power behind his strikes, as a result of having the proper stance to lash out with during his techniques. With that done he lowered his arms, bringing them back down to his sides before taking a deep breathe to relax his muscles so they weren’t too tense when practicing these moves.
XXXXXDeciding to move on from the basic stance he stepped forward, knowing it was time to begin training how to block and counter with Tonfa’s. Being a Kenjutsu user he was used to doing so with a Katana, he was not however used to blocking with something like a Tonfa. Raising his arms into the basic stance for the Tanisoko style Mikoto stood still, waiting patiently for the unseen mark he’d needed to use the technique. Moments later his arms blurred forward, the left Tonfa raising up to block an unseen strike from the dummy, followed up with a swift strike of his right arm, smashing the head of the training dummy with seeming ease. Stepping back from his spot Mikoto gave an appraising gaze to the damage, deciding it was good enough to work properly in an actual fight.
XXXXXWith that move down he decided to work on a basic double Tonfa block, involving a cross shaped block of both the sticks to gain the best strength against blows. Raising his arms to shoulder height the red-head stood firm, before bursting into movement by raising his Tonfa’s, crossing them like that of a wooden cross used against vampires in old myths. Bracing his body like he normally would in a fight the male remained in that position for a few moments before dropping his arms to his side, satisfied with the feeling that it gave when he did the movements. He could tell it would be good enough to block even a basic Katana strike, should he get the proper Tonfa’s made from the stores as opposed to the wooden ones he was training with.
XXXXXCracking his neck loudly Mikoto settled into a loose Tanisoko stance, opting to not raise his arms in place for allowing his arms to hang lazily at his sides, not too tense but not too relaxed as well. Quickly bringing his arms up the male went about parrying an unseen blow, shoving it to the side by use of his Tonfa, resulting in what he could tell would be a much less taxing way to stop a blow from reaching him than the block. As opposed to taking the impact against his body, he’d instead redirect it away from him, which would also allow him to lash out with a counterattack should he succeed in throwing them off from their initial attack.
XXXXXWith that done he raised his arms into the normal stance, arms at shoulder height as he stood in front of the training dummy. Giving a deep inhale of breathe followed by an exhale he moved, spinning his left Tonfa swiftly before delivering a rough strike to the side of the dummy, causing it to crush in slightly before he spun it once more, bringing it up to strike the right arm of the post. With that done he switched to his right hand, spinning that Tonfa quickly before delivering two rapid strikes to the side of the dummy. Following through with that strike he delivered a quick backward spin of the stick, allowing him to land a rough strike to the left arm of the stand. Stepping back with a soft sigh he stared in appreciation of the damage, deciding it was good enough to use in an actual fight.
XXXXXMoving on from that basic movement Mikoto stepped forward, spinning his right Tonfa so it was more towards the back of his hand, with that done he swung upwards. Following the basic swing with a rough thrust of power the red-head watched as the Tonfa slammed roughly into the jaw of the training dummy, crushing it in solidly with the power behind the hit. Raising an eyebrow at the damage Mikoto gave a soft exhale of breathe, releasing the tension from his muscles as he inspected the blunt force of the Tonfa. Though he knew it wouldn’t do as much damage to a human it was surprising just how powerful the hit was, even against a basic wooden training post.
XXXXXKnowing he’d need to eventually work in the ability to use both Tonfa’s at once Mikoto stepped forward, spinning his right stick before slowly working in a steady spin of the left Tonfa, getting a basic rhythm going so as to actually get down the movements needed to be able to use both sticks seamlessly. Deciding to speed up the spinning he was doing slightly the red-head gave a smile at the progress, feeling as if he somehow knew he could speed up even further. Opting to do so he increased the speed of the spins once more, resulting in a windmill looking spin on his Tonfa’s, wind blowing off the sticks as he did so. With that done he stopped the spinning of the blades, working on using the previous techniques with both hands. After nearly thirty minutes of doing this he stopped, sweat glistening on his neck and face. Taking a deep breathe the red-head reached for the hem of his shirt, pulling it over his head before dropping it next to him. With the constricting white fabric gone his muscles were visible, his body rippling with each movement he made. Though his muscles were large they weren’t overly so, fitting his body just right as opposed to being too bulky or too small. Sweat shined on his torso as he stood there, breathing heavily after working out for so long.
XXXXXAfter a few moments to allow his body to cool down Mikoto stepped back, figuring it was time to work on yet another blocking technique after learning the few attacking techniques he had. Raising his Tonfa’s towards his shoulders he stepped back, making room for his body before closing his eyes. Once more he’d need to do “shadow boxing” as many called it. Even though it was called that it was really just imagining an opponent moving and reacting to it to train your body and mind without requiring a partner, something he sorely was lacking right at this moment. Waiting for the shadow to make its move Mikoto raised his arms even further, Tonfa’s forward from his chest as he stood there. With that done he shoved the weapons away from his body using the sticks, resulting in the phantom opponent stumbling backwards with his blades parried away. With that done he moved instantly into his next technique, dashing forward before spinning both Tonfa’s so he could grip them properly. With that done he swung them in front of him in a cross shape, left stick connecting with the Phantom Opponents chest before being quickly followed up with the right Tonfa coming to slam roughly upwards into the opponent’s stomach.
XXXXXGiving a soft exhale of air the red-head gave a nod at the feeling he’d felt, knowing that if he used that in an actual fight the first strike would most likely stun the opponent, allowing the second strike to hit with ease. Though the speed at which both were delivered alone would allow that to happen, it was still possible to force yourself to move away from it using willpower and agility alone. Deciding to take yet another break Mikoto sat down near the training dummy, legs out in front of him to allow him easier breathing as opposed to having to labor for breathe due to putting pressure on the lunges. Taking large breathes of air the red-head gave a deep exhale before deciding to continue with his training for a few more minutes.
XXXXXStanding up once again the male raised his arms, Tonfa’s in hand as he stared at the same Phantom Opponent from before. Nodding his head he watched as the shadowy being acted, sending a well-timed lunging stab towards the right side of his side. Raising his right Tonfa quickly Mikoto spun it swiftly, watching as the wood of the stick collided with the blunt edge of the Katana, sending it directly down into the floor below. With that done he lashed out with his left hand, spinning the Tonfa before slamming it roughly atop the opponents head, sending it crashing into the ground painfully. Opening his eyes he watched as the being disappeared, resulting in a smirk from the red-haired Jounin. It seemed useful enough so he wouldn’t complain about it being a flashy move.
XXXXXMoving on from that he stood back, staring calmly at the post before thinking over the next move he’d be learning. It was a basic grip breaker that many other styles used themselves. Some styles being to smash the fingers of the opponent with the blunt end of the sword whilst others to merely slice them off. This one however seemed to be like the prior, smashing the fingers to break their grip on their weapon. Nodding to himself the male stepped forward, channeling chakra throughout his left arm and Tonfa, with that done he closed his eyes once more, causing the Phantom Opponent to appear before him. With that done he watched as the enemy slashed towards his left arm, resulting in Mikoto raising the chakra infused Tonfa to block the strike. Following up the strike the red-head lashed out with the right Tonfa, slamming it into the wrist of the Phantom Opponent, resulting in a loud crack in his mind as he fractured the bones in its wrist, resulting in it dropping its weapon due to a lack of being able to grip the hilt of the Katana properly. With that done he decided that was enough training for a few hours the male placed the Tonfa’s back on the rack, walking over slowly towards a small container which held a few small water bottles.
XXXXXRetrieving one of the small bottles of water Mikoto twisted open the cap, reaching up to take a large gulp of the warm water, letting his dry mouth wet itself after feeling the liquid touch his tongue. With that done he walked over towards one of the small spots near the walls of the Dojo, ten or so feet away from the two he’d seen resting and eating before when he entered the building. Reaching into his pants pocket the red-head retrieved his pack of cigarettes, lighting one before bringing up to his lips. With that done he took a deep drag from it, blowing the smoke out in front of him before closing his eyes and leaning his head back softly against the wall behind him. After a few moments of resting he opened his eyes, deciding to return to the Ramen shop to grab a bite to eat. [Exit]
Fighting Stance Rank: E :: Simple Description: The user stands with the non-dominant side of the body toward the foe and the sticks raised at an angle at about shoulder height. This is the basic stance of the style and offers a very slight power boost to techniques executed from this position.
Block and Counter Rank: E :: Simple Description: The user performs a firm block with one of the sticks and strikes at the foe with the other. The block is effective at stopping weapons that weigh less than fifteen [ 15 ] pounds in weight. The counter can be any technique that only requires one stick.
Double Block Rank: E :: Simple Description: The user raises both sticks and crosses them to perform a very powerful block. The block is effective at stopping most kinds of weapons.
Parry Rank: D :: Simple Description: In a very fluid motion, the user redirects an incoming attack with one or both sticks. This is much less taxing than blocking, since it simply moves the target of an incoming attack. Never performed by hitting the sharp edge of a blade.
Contact Rank: D :: Simple Description: The user swings the stick toward the side of the opponent’s body. This strike is powerful enough to leave painful bruises where it hits. This is almost never used to strike an opponent’s head.
Upward Sweep Rank: D :: Simple Description: The user swings upward with the stick in the back hand while stepping toward the target to increase power. Because this attack is typically aimed at the jaw, it is very likely to momentarily stun the opponent.
Dexterity: Two Halves Rank: C :: Training Description: Basic training in the style involves using the techniques one at a time, but this is slightly problematic when it comes to higher-level movements. To increase overall skill and proficiency with the weapons of this style, the user trains by using both sticks simultaneously instead of in the disjointed way that the early stages emphasized. After mastering this training, the user gains a moderate boost to speed with the arms.
Parting Block Rank: C :: Simple Description: The user blocks two different attacks at the same time by raising both sticks in front of the torso, and then shoves the weapons away from his or her body. This technique almost always ends with the user too close for medium and longer weapons to be of any use.
Cross Strike Rank: C :: Simple Description: The user quickly swings both sticks for a particular point on the target’s body so that one stick hits just after the other moves out of the way. This combined attack strategy leaves heavy bruising and can break weaker bones. Due to the speed of this technique, it is almost impossible to dodge the second strike if the first lands.
Wheel Block Rank: C :: Simple Description: The user spins and uses one stick to knock an incoming attack down from the outside. The purpose of this block is not to stop the attack, but rather to propel it downward and place the enemy in an unfavorable position. The block can be quickly followed by a one-handed strike from the unused hand. If the attack does not change the user’s direction of motion, then it gains a moderate boost in power.
Grip Break Rank: C :: Complex Description: The user performs a Chakra-reinforced block with one stick to completely stop an incoming attack. At the same time, the user also swings the other stick for the hand that is holding the weapon. This strike causes severe pain in the targeted area and usually breaks the opponent’s grip if it lands. If used on a Taijutsu technique, the strike is aimed for a joint.

"When terror threatens all that remains in the world, and rage and greed rule the planet, remember this: He who knows peace can understand what others can not, they can see with unimpaired clarity, and they act with the rationale and calm that humans, should act towards one another. Not hatred and fury." ╔══════════════════════════════╗ Theme Song of Kamui Endo Shinsetsu
Kamui had heard about a Kenjutsu style from his father long ago. He walked to the back of the Dojo and searched through the scrolls till he found what he was looking for. He found a mat to sit on and read the scroll up to stage four [4]. Shikyuu Koushin [ Pressing Lips ]; Rank: E :: Simple; The practitioner will draw their weapon from its sheath / rest, deliver two relaxed outward slashes and then assume a desired standing. Seemed simple enough. After reading it a few more times, the Alluring Oni stood up and grabbed the hilt of his katana. First, he draw the katana and took a deep breath. He followed this by gracefully swinging the blade in an outward slash three times and then crouched low to the ground, his arm back as if he would thrust the katana forward into something. He felt this wasn't right and grabbed a dummy to repeat the process several times. Feeling like he accomplished it, he moved to the next move.
Iori Seppun [ Retreating Kiss ]; Rank: E :: Simple; The practitioner will deliver a relaxed outward slash and then return their weapon to its sheath / resting position. Yet again, another simple move. Kamui read this over once more and then began to practice the necessary movements. After a couple of minutes, he felt he had the hang of it and moved on.
Seppun no Hoppeta [ Kiss on the Cheek ]; Rank: E :: Simple; The practitioner fakes unsheathing / readying their weapon and instead delivers a quick loose-knuckle punch or swift jab with the blunt side of the weapon. Kamui loved how easy the beginning stage was. Sure they were simple, but would be effective in the right situations. Once again, he practiced the said motions until he felt right about them and moved on. He then realized that he had completed stage 1. With a deep breath, he moved on to stage 2.
Kowakuteki Nameru [ Alluring Lick ]; Rank: D :: Simple; A full-momentum horizontal slash that is followed by a second rotational swing, a spin kick, or a roll into a sudden kick. This technique seemed like a good combination move. Kamui took a few steps back from the dummy and unsheathed the blade. Bringing it to his side, he dashed towards the dummy and released his arm, letting lose a explosive horizontal slash. As the blade carved itself through the wood, he used the momentum to jump up and spin his body and release a kick to the back of what would be the torso on the dummy. This felt comfortable. He continued to do this several more times until he needed a new dummy to use. Feeling confident, he moved on.
Ueito Seppun [ Waiting Kiss ]; Rank: D :: Simple; The practitioner will assume an alert stance, weapon outward, awaiting an acceptable attack from the opponent. As the attack nears, a wide parry is delivered which offsets both parties; however, the practitioner makes use of the momentum to spin and finish with a backhand or spin kick. This technique couldn't be learned with a wooden dummy. For this move, he needed a clone to practice with. Bringing his hands together, Kamui gathered the necessary charka and out popped a clone. Taking a few steps back, the Alluring Oni readied himself for the attack soon to come. The clone spun the katana in it's hand once and charged. As it neared however, the Alluring Oni parried wide which caused them to both be offset. But with this momentum, he twisted his body around in a 360 and released a devastating spin kick to the chest of his clone which caused it fly backwards. Kamui repeated this several times to nail the precise moment to parry and to use the momentum. After what seemed to be 30 minutes, he moved to the next technique.
Shita Seppun [ Tongue Kiss ]; Rank: D :: Complex; While running, the practitioner performs a single chakra enhanced snap-slash to open the target's defenses, and then finishes by delivering a straightforward punch or kick to the torso. As Kamui read over the way to perform the technique, it didn't seem like it should be a Complex move. It sounded rather simple to him but oh well. With a sigh, he made another clone and got ready. His eyes lingered on his father's blade. The craftsman who made this was incredible. Even after all these years, the blade was still the sharpest he had ever seen, the durability of it was greater than most blacksmith's could imagine. On top of that, it was as light as a feather. Kamui tightened and loosened his grip on the hilt in a wave like pattern as he got lost in thought. When he finally came back to, the ninja charged. As his clone went to block the blow, Kamui surged chakra through his blade and performed a snap-slash and completely widened his target's defenses. While his target was undefended, he raised his leg and kicked directly into the clone's chest. He could see why it was labeled as Complex now. It wasn't quite as easy as it seemed. Sure enough though, he jumped back and repeated the process several times before moving on to the Office. -Stage 2 complete-
Kamui was going to go and work on ninjutsu, but ultimately decided he would work on his Buki style some more. He created a clone and would do a small spar with it to warm up. The clone felt the punch in his gut and his eyes widened and he fell on the ground holding his gut, gritting his teeth he looked up at his creator, Kamui was in a readied position already and the male quickly took his lower stance to perform a sweeping kick that took out the feet from under his clone. It fell to the side and landed with a thud. It had to admit, that was a sneaky move, but he knew an even sneakier move. He slowly got up, knowing that he knew a skill that the clone had no idea what it was, he got in a readied position and had his blade in front of him, he focused hard and quickly went back into his memory, thoughts flashed in his head, strategies, thoughts, history, they all flooded him and he finally came up with an idea. He dashed towards the clone and the it got ready to parry it, but Kamui stepped in close and swung his blade. The blade missed him and then the clone felt a feeling in his stomach, a lurching feeling, seeing a fist hit his gut. Furue Koushin [ Trembling Lips ] - Rank C Learned
The clone pushed Kamui away and recovered himself, the punch was sneaky and effective, the Alluring Oni took note of this and it's power. But that was not on his immediate mind, what was on his mind was a way to get to the clone without getting hurt or hit. He knew that parries worked well and this style was derived on weapon and melee combinations... His creation was recovering fast and he wiped a bit of blood off of his mouth and had a determined look on his eyes. He dashed at him and had his sword out, he reached Kamui and slashed forwards, the Alluring Oni, quickly as he could, brought up his blade and blocked the strike effectively. But the sword pushed his blade away and out of the way, the boy was using Tongue Kiss! Kamui quickly grabbed the boy's fist and pushed forwards making the steps of the clone imbalanced and he fell over. He then stood up and dashed at Kamui once more, Kamui took it head on and made an odd parry and pushed back, flipping and kicked the clone in the face. Fuki Seppun [ Accidental Kiss ] - Rank C Learned
Kamui stepped back and the clone was hit by his foot and was lifted off the ground, he had a huge red welt under his chin and it was growing, it was nasty looking. Not something that he was about to say too, he had made this clone already angry enough to take full on swings at him and not just sparring type swings too. The clone hit the ground and slid back, not moving for a sec... he began to twitch and slowly brought up his head and looked at Kamui with a determined look. Kamui had to give it to the boy, he was determined, the boy dashed at him and with a great swing, the Alluring Oni quickly parried but the clone performed a skill that was quite high level and pushed Kamui back. Kamui’s back hit the wall and he was pressed up against it. He quickly got out of the way and the clone swung once more, this time, Kamui dodged it and fell back and followed up with a slash to the boys feet, but the boy jumped up and dodged the strike. Kisumaku [ Hickey ] - Rank C Learned
The spar was now a full on battle, and one that Kamui wanted to take a victory in too, he brought his blade up and rolled into the position he needed to be in and braced for the next hit. The boy dashed at Kamui and made a vertical slash, Kamui brought up his blade and used it as a shield over his head, he then pushed up on the blunt side of the blade and the hilt and forced the sword and the boy back. The boy stumbled a bit but got his footing back quickly, leading with another strike from the right. Kamui used his increased flexibility to bend back and flip and escape the strike. He skidded to a stop and looked at the boy. The boy ran at Kamui and brought his blade to his side and went for a horizontal strike, but Kamui brought his blade up and blocked the attack and used his blade as a stand, stabbing it in the ground and used the momentum to flip off the sword and raised into the air and brought his heel down on the boys head, but the boy dodged. Kamui’s heel hit the dojo floor and was painful. Boushi Shita [ Spinning Tongue ] - Rank C Learned -Stage 3 Complete-
Kamui gritted his teeth and lifted his foot from the bent wooden floor board. They both stopped for a second and the tips of their blades hit the floor. They both looked at each other and thought... Kamui then spoke up "Do you want to continue?" The clone was hesitant at first, his hair covered his eyes and he gripped his blade tightly, he knew that the skill they were about to perform were much more dangerous then the others, so it would be in their best need to know what was going to happen next. The clone was hurt and so was Kamui, but for their own need they needed to continue. Kamui let out a clear sigh and walked over to the clone, sheathing his blade he rubbed his hands together before doing more seals, the clone slowly regenerating. After a while the clone was back to it's healthy self. Kamui smiled and unsheathed his blade once more "Are you ready?" The creation grinned also and held his blade in front of him with two hands. Kamui dashed at it and the clone threw a punch. Kamui gripped the male's fist and twisted into his personal bubble and lifted up his foot for a kick to the clone's ribs, but when he shoved off hoping to kick him, the clone got out of the way and was about to turn the technique against him. Shitsuren no Seppun [ Broken Heart's Kiss ] - Rank B Learned
Kamui’s grip on the clone was loosened as his foot went forwards and pulled him forwards, the mistake of not hitting the boy would come to bite him in the a** as his grip was switched and the clone now had a grip on his arm! Kamui looked at his hand and saw the creation beginning to get ready for the exact move that the Alluring Oni had practiced. Shoving his foot forwards, Kamui’s arm expanded and he bent it got out of the way in a squid like way. The clone was bit shocked, not knowing that his sparring buddy could do this was amazing! Kamui then pulled the clone up to him. The tug on his arm made an elastic like force, almost sliding the feet under the male and making him skid towards his creator. Kamui flipped his blade to the blunt side of the hilt and when the clone came close, he slammed the hilt into the clone, the hilt glowed with chakra and dispersed into it. The hit was very effective and sent the clone's guard wide open. Not to mention that the grip on his arm was let go and Kamui was now free in his arm. His arm went back to normal state and he lifted up his hand and with a strong left hook, he punched the clone in the face and forced him down, the head of the creation bobbing like a bobble head. Oritatami-shiki no Koushin [ Folding Lips ] - Rank B Learned
Kamui stepped back and got in ready position. The male had a good hit on his head and he was stumbling backwards. Kamui was waiting like a loyal swordsman and was ready to strike at any time. The clone fumbled and stumbled as he began to regain his composure. Maybe Kamui wasn't to bad in the field of physical combat after all. This increased Kamui interest in the style. Kamui watched as the clone got back to his original self, he held the side of his head and was gritting his teeth, but he was okay. Kamui smiled to the fact he was okay, but the fact that the clone was once again angry, made Kamui worry about what the creation would try next. Kamui smile disappeared and he got in a lower stance. The clone was very angry from that hit and had his blade in front of him. Chakra began to go into the blade of his own and Kamui began to get worried, that skill was the Breath Taking Kiss. s**t, this was bad. The boy ran at Kamui and he got ready, putting all his momentum in his feet and rolled out of the way just in time, a small slice on his foot, but Kamui also cut the clone's thigh. Kyuu Seppun [ Sudden Kiss ] - Rank B Learned
Kamui’s strike to the clone's left thigh, the male tumble to the ground, and his sword dropped. Kamui was a bit angry now, that he had there intention to kill! Or maybe it was just a mistake, whatever it was, the creation had to pay for what he had almost done. He marched over to the clone and gripped him by the collar and lifted him up and made his face, look straight at Kamui’s. "What the hell was that!" He said to him, he then yelled even more about things like that Konohagakure was not represented as a village that would attack another shinobi of the same village unless if it was ordered. Kamui himself would kill another shinobi from the village if he was given the order, no matter who it was, or if it was someone he loved. Maybe not the last part.. If it was an order, he would perform the task. The clone apologized and disappeared, this sparring was over, but Kamui still had to learn the skill known as Breath Taking Kiss. He walked over to a dummy and placed his hand on the blade, infusing chakra into the blade, he dashed at the dummy and then sliced downwards, the blade cut into the shoulder and all the way down to the torso. Kamui then placed his foot on the front of the dummy and shoved off. Iki-jisan Seppun [ Breath Taking Kiss ] - Rank B Learned --Stage 4 Complete
