Ichiro was far from impressed at Reiko's display of pure power and agility, seeing that he could cut down his jutsu with slight ease. However, the Senju shinobi was not as harmless as he appeared. Once the shinobi's brown hues caught sight of the Uchiha heading towards him, his grip on the dummy beside him tightened, before he began to engage in a low crouch. The distance between the two competitors closed almost instantaneously with Reiko's speed, however, Ichiro was going to take advantage of that. Before long, a short thrust was aimed at his left shoulder, one of which made the Senju smile deviously. Before the lightning infused palm even made contact with his body, Ichiro and the dummy erupted into a clou of smoke, which would surely confuse Reiko as to what was happening. Shortly afterwards, what happened next would positively frighten the Uchiha. It had appeared that... Ichiro and the straw dummy traded places, only with the assistance of the substitution technique! Now, the Uchiha's fist was locked into the dummy's straw shoulder, while Ichiro stood to the left of Reiko. "Seems like this past year, I've surpassed you all together!" After the short statement, Ichiro crouched even more lowly, and rotated his body directly beside his challenger. Before long, he extended his palm outwards at Reiko's upper right arm, and water shot from his hand. It began to complete a sphereical shaped dome around the Uchiha, one of which he wouldn't be able to escape. If he was successful, Ichiro would've won the fight! [ 275 / 330 ]

Crimson blood colored the cloth of which the clone's blade had pierced Ichiro, while a small whince surfaced from his lips. Ichiro couldn't believe this! Under the cover of his accelerated grown forest, the Uchiha manged to create copies of himself to deliver a real attack. Not only that, but he managed to summon a clone to distract him from the obvious, letting him drop his guard! As the time flew by slowly, Ichiro's brown hues wandered to the beings behind him. Hm.. What could he do to relieve himself of this little situation? Slowly reaching his right hand towards the hilt of his katana, a bright flash of silver shot through the air, as Ichiro's hand whipped in an upwards fashion. He had quickly drew his sword, and spun on his heels to face the three clones. The next action he took was simple; he charged. A horizontal and vertical slash was directed towards the closest one, as the Senju was becoming eager to beat the Uchiha. It had been so long since they had sparred, and he wanted to win!

Ichiro anticipated for his attack to be blocked, however, he was not completely aware of Reiko's next tactic. Quickly indulging in a low crouch, Ichiro held his blade at his side straight outwards, and spun rapidly. The outstretched blade would surely chop off both of the clone's legs, though Ichiro had no time to find out the success of his attack. A blazing hot fireball suddenly erupted from Reiko's pursed lips, and soared quickly in Ichiro's direction. "Think!" Before the fireball could connect with it's primary target, the Senju completed a series of handseals, that of which caused him to throw his head backwards. But it snapped back seconds afterwards, and a large ball of water crashed with the fireball. The result was simple; an explosion that summoned a large amount of fog and steam, which would prevent vision for the smallest of seconds. As the steam covered the area, Ichiro fell to one knee, breathing heavily. His chest heaved up and down, however, his lips curved into a wicked smile. "Hm. You've gotten just a little bit stronger."

The steam lifted suddenly soon after it was summoned, which allowed Ichiro to track Reiko's figure gliding swiftly towards him. However, he managed to leap into the air above, and kunai were left to rain down in the process. "Oh, that's not happening." were the only words that escaped the Senju's lips before he completed yet another flurry of handseals, and a half sphereical dome erupted around his body. In doing so, the kunai landed with a simple thud in the wood, while Reiko's attacks were thwarted rather easily. Though Ichiro wasn't finished with his counterattack. Once the wooden dome was summoned, the Senju flipped backwards numerous times until he was out in the open, and bounded into the free air. He soon landed directly behind his Uchiha competitor, his hands moving in motion as he underwent another set of signs. Once the final sign was struck, Ichiro's left palm slapped against the ground, and five wooden beams shot from the floorboads. But they quickly changed their path, and attempted to wrap around Reiko briskly. In the meantime, Ichiro turned on his heels of each foot, and aimed a diagonal slash towards Reiko's chest.

H I T O M I . K U R A M A______ Destroyer of Reality | Creator of Insanity Chakra :: 430|430
Be careful..... Because I hide behind a façade.... Wondering why you... Hitomi sat in a meditative position and ran through her mind the genjutsu scroll she just read. 'This is my first A ranked genjutsu...alright, I can do this,' she sighed and did the hand signs before altering the chakra in her mind. The surroundings didn't change, but she knew the genjutsu had worked when she started to feel like she was dying; death being one of her greatest fears.
Magen: Kyouran no Me Kara Kyoufu [ Demonic Illusion: Fear Through the Eyes of Madness ] 1|4
She squeezed her eyes tight and grit her teeth, trying to bear through it. She tried to muster whatever courage she had left to somewhat oppose the fear, but found that her body suddenly felt cold. Death was creeping up on her by way of illusion.
Magen: Kyouran no Me Kara Kyoufu [ Demonic Illusion: Fear Through the Eyes of Madness ] 2|4
She found that, as expected, the more she tried to fight it, the more the fear would grow. When she tried to not be scared, the symptoms of death would increase. Despite this however, she was grateful that the illusion was this strong. If her eyes were activated, there was a chance this genjutsu could make someone crazy.
Magen: Kyouran no Me Kara Kyoufu [ Demonic Illusion: Fear Through the Eyes of Madness ] 3|4
Paranoia and terror started creeping in after a few moments when Hitomi flared her chakra. When she could no longer take it, she dispelled it and sat for a moment, trying to settle her chakra and calm down.
Magen: Kyouran no Me Kara Kyoufu [ Demonic Illusion: Fear Through the Eyes of Madness ] 4|4 complete
Hitomi went through the A ranked genjutsu scroll again and settled on a particular genjutsu that seemed interesting. She performed the hand signs and watched as a fissure appeared in the ground. It was a small one however, so she dispelled it and tried again. This time, it was larger and wider but it still wasn't as it should have been. She tried until finally, in the fourth try, the fissure was long, wide, and smoke and fire were being released from it. Many small cracks branched out from the fissure.
Anoyo Kiretsu no Jutsu [ World of the Dead Fissure Technique ] 1|4
Then, her dead relatives' voices began wailing from inside the large, burning crack as if crying out from hell. The voices wavered at first, so she strengthened the chakra connection to her mind. The voices seemed to grow louder then, hands starting to grip the edge of the fissure. 'Genjustu, it's genjustu,' she repeated in her mind as she worked on strengthening it and altering it so it would be the most beneficial in battle.
Anoyo Kiretsu no Jutsu [ World of the Dead Fissure Technique ] 2|4
Suddenly, she lost concentration and tried again, setting up the genjutsu all over again. This time she added sound effects to the genjutsu and made the earth seem to shake when the fissure appeared. She made the smoke seem superheated and even take the shape of skulls and eerie ghosts so it would be extra frightening to an unlucky victim.
Anoyo Kiretsu no Jutsu [ World of the Dead Fissure Technique ] 3|4
After a few minutes of making the final adjustments and perfecting the genjutsu, she dispelled it and settled her chakra so her pulse and breathing would go down and not be so agitated.
Anoyo Kiretsu no Jutsu [ World of the Dead Fissure Technique ] 4|4 complete
Hitomi then started working on a simple C ranked genjutsu. She performed the False Surroundings Jutsu before doing a hand seal and performing the Double False Surroundings Jutsu. She dispelled the genjutsu and was satisfied when the seine one came into play. Her surroundings seemed exactly the same, but when she started altering the jutsu, the walls twisted and the ceiling seemed to be bloodied. She dispelled the second genjutsu.
Magen: Nijū Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu [ Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique ] 1|1 complete
Don't realize that.... Believing is a... Lie.
The betrayal you see is trivial. What is truly fearsome is the betrayal that you don't see.

Uinsean walked into the Academy, and found a secluded area. He removed the scroll from his jacket, and released his katana from it. Replacing the scroll, he held the sword up, and then moved it to his side. The sheath was a sliver tinted black, and the handle itself seemed to mold to the sheath as if it was one piece. It had no hand guard, and was colored the same, it sparked lightly as he placed his right hand on the hilt. He recalled the information on his father's scroll, and drew his sword, swinging horizontally. An arc of electricity shot outward, and dragged across the ground at a distance, following the path of the sword. The lightning scratched its way across the ground, leaving the path clear for anyone to see, and then shot back into the blade.
[Rank D: Lightning Rake: Training Complete.] [Basic Chakra Training: Performance: 1/3.]
Uinsean smirked as the first technique worked perfectly, and he moved the blade behind him. He held the blade behind him with his right hand, and his body let out sparks of green chakra, lashing out like pure lightning. The blade mimicking his chakra, but was actually harmful. He poured chakra into his blade to try out the next technique his father designed. Bringing the sword around, he spun it once in a full circle in front of him, and the air sparked to life. A pulse of electricity shot forth, this was the more subtle technique of the three, and was only signaled by a path of sparks through the air.
[Rank C: Lightning Pulse: 1/2.] [Basic Chakra Training: Performance: 2/3.]
Uinsean formed a few hand seals, and a clone stepped forward. He stood across from the clone, and readied his blade behind him again. He had to make sure this worked before he actually used it in battle. His chakra began to spark out from his body as he stared down the clone. Then he brought the sword forward, shifting it momentum to swing in a full circle in front of him. The sparking pulse went forth once more, and upon collision with the clone, it dropped to its knees and shook lightly.
[Rank C: Lightning Pulse: Training Complete.] [Basic Chakra Training: Performance: Training Complete.]
Twirling the sword back he held it above his head, dropping into a lower stance, resembling his Sazanami in a few ways. His body began to spark again as his chakra was redirected into the blade, this training would be worth it, and he would have a few new attacks with his new weapon.
[Rank B: Lighting Wave: 1/3.] [Basic Chakra Training: Performance(Redux): 1/3.]
Smirking proudly, Uinsean stepped forward, and swung his blade downward. Aiming at a training dummy nearby, a bolt of lightning flew forth, dragging through the ground. Cutting the floor as if it was butter, and then sliced through the dummy before dissipating. The blow was clean and quick, as if he had struck it physically with the blade. "Heheh, this'll definitely come in handy.." He chuckled happily before sheathing his katana.
[Rank B: Lightning Wave: 2/3.] [Basic Chakra Training: Performance(Redux): 2/3.]
Turning Uinsean took aim at a farther off dummy, he wanted to test the true range of his technique. Assuming his stance once more, he brought the blade above him. Chakra sparking from his body, he charged up the sword for a second attack. Stepping forward, the chakra finished moving up to the blade sparking violently. Then as he brought the sword down, another bolt shot forth, dragging its way through the solid floor. The dummy fell in two as the bolt dissipated, this was it range, and he memorized it for battle use.
[Rank B: Lightning Wave: Training Complete.] [Basic Chakra Training: Performance(Redux): Training Complete.]

Pausing to take a better glance at the Uchiha, Ichiro watched him exit the building. In his place was a simple shadow clone, which was quite insulting considering the two were in a heated spar. "Hmph! Alright, go train, and watch me beat you the next time!" The words flowed angrily from the Senju's mouth as his foot repeatedly stomped up and down, as a pointed finger was shot in Reiko's direction. But after long, he turned his back from the clone, and waved his hand in a shooing motion, which could only mean that his appearane was not needed. Afterwards, Ichiro pulled out the scroll that he was previously learning from, and resumed to read it's contents.
[ 1 / 4 ]
"Goin' to see his wife... Ha!" Ichiro muttered, flipping through the various text to discover the right technique to learn next. It wasn't even ten minutes before his eyes fell upon the Four Pillar Home technique. It did seem useful if you needed immediate protection or rest. With this jutsu, you could possibly live anywhere you desired!
[ 2 / 4 ]
After deciding the proper technique to learn, Ichiro set about finding his own secluded space within the building, and soon sat himself far away from the others. After doing so, he resumed the traditional meditative position. Ichiro did not strike this position for looks, however, he took the stance primarily to gain focus. The secondary importance factor was to train his chakra and let it course throughout his entire body.
[ 3 / 4 ]
Soon, Ichiro stood from his sitting position, and directed both his palms at his front. Like he did last time, his chakra flowed in the general direction of his arms, and soon built up in his hands. With his fingers pointed upwards, Ichiro soon drew back his arms, and threw them back past his head. But only seconds afterwards, he brought his hands back, and slammed them into the wooden floorboards below. In only seconds, wooden beams emerged from the floor, and converged into a full ground house, fully equipped with proper material and other things inside. "Nice!" With a snap of the fingers, Ichiro made the building disappear, and resumed with his training.

Immediately after the training for the four pillar home, the Senju set about to learn some regular water style techniques. In a short amount of time, he withdrew a scroll containing the proper techniques and jutsus that were capable to learn. His selected jutsu would be the water decapitation technique.
[ 1 / 4 ]
After briefly reading through the jutsu's description, the shinobi set about to find a proper training dummy to assist his completion of the technique. Not even five minutes occured before he discovered one a few feet from his position, and once his eyes laid across the object, he immediately grabbed it and set it near him.
[ 2 / 4 ]
Plopping amongst the ground, Ichiro sat still and calm, his eyes closed gently. His hands were cupped in his laps while he sat, letting his chakra flow though his body gracefully. As it spread, the shinobi envisioned himself performing the jutsu beforehand. It was simple; a sharp beam of concentrated water soaring towards a chosen target.
[ 3 / 4 ]
The thought collapsed as Ichiro stood from the floor, clapping his hands together in a praying position. However, not a second passed before they flew into a blurred set of handsigns, moving quickly without fault. As soon as they were completed, Ichiro cupped his fingers in an arc shape at his lips, and his cheeks swelled instantaeously. He drew his head back, then launched it forward a moment after. From his puckered lips, a beam of water emerged, and severed the dummy's arms and legs. The jutsu was impressive, which was the main purpose of which the Senju decided to learn it in the first place.

The last water technique to be learned would be the Water Drilling Spears. However, this technique required a large body of water. So, utilizing the Bursting Water Collisions waves, the Senju managed to create a large amount of liquid among the floor, which would assist in the training significantly.
[ 1 / 4 ]
Confiscating another training dummy for obvious reasons, Ichiro set about to use it as the basis for his training, however, a teacher strolled along and required the doll for other students. Not one to decline a higher ranked shinobi's orders, Ichiro let the woman take it, which left him with no potential training assesment. However, as a shinobi walked past, Ichiro questioned him would he like to help, and the boy accepted the offer.
[ 2 / 4 ]
Doing the previous steps, Ichiro focused his chakra to where it flowed evenly around his body. While he sat in preparation, the other shinobi prepared himself as well to assist with the training. All in all, only ten minutes passed before the both of them were fully prepared to train.
[ 3 / 4 ]
Once the two were ready, both stood to their footing, and backed away a respectable distance. Forcing the chakra into their body parts to utilize the technique, they readied themselves, but warned each other first before attempting anything. "One, two, three!" Ichiro counted while they stood atop the water, and a large fireball erupted from the other shinobi's lips. Before long, Ichiro completed a set of handsigns, and spears suddenly jerked upwards from the water among the ground. They managed to block the ball of fire, and stop the attack from damaging the Senju. "Awesome!" he exclaimed, then thanked the shinobi who helped with his training process. In no time at all, he headed out of the dojo, and towards one of the places where he could be free; the forest.
