'Simple enough...' the boy absently thought, standing with an outstretched palm...then decided to move to the roof. Considering past incidents, it'd be wise to be alone. Baring through the desert heat, he focused the thing's chakra again, the dark, hideous stuff practically melting the air around it...five minutes...ten minutes...not even the slightest spike of emotion. The old ox was true to his deal. At least at this level...

Sora felt sweat drop from her forehead for a second. Hold the split for an hour? Well, it would be easy since she was naturally flexible, but she would be in a hell of a lot of pain afterward. But the girl obeyed without any complaint and kept her legs straight out in front of her. When she couldn't feel the stretch in her legs anymore, she tried to do something to help stretch it some more. In the beginning, she pointed her toes and leaned forward. But even that didn't provide enough of a stretch, so she leaned backward instead (Mind you, this is incredibly difficult to do). That was a huge stretch. But finally, the hour was up and Sora brought her legs into her. They actually felt surprisingly loose for having been straight for an hour.
So with that, Sora leaped to the ground and awaited her next order. After Zane had explained it, Sora thought for a little while. Running quickly and quietly. A basic shinobi skill, but it was difficult to do. Even some of the best can't run quietly to save their lives.
So Sora began walking around in circles quickly, trying to shift her weight from one foot to the other while she did so. She wasn't making much sound, but it was still sound and it was pretty much ringing throughout the training area. So she moved a little bit faster and faster until finally, she was running around the facility and barely making a sound. Man, it was a good thing that she was naturally fast. Otherwise, this training would have been a lot more difficult. "Was that it?" She asked as she stopped in front of Zane again.

Stories: "The real Zane should be here soon enough so the good training will commence then!" Zane told him before he went up to the roof.
Sora: "That was good Sora...now it comes down to defense techniques," Zane told her as he took a stance. "I want you to block only with your legs, do not use your hands, do not dodge. Use your flexibility to extend your legs in order to block any attack!" Zane instructed her as he dashed forward, giving her time to prepare. Once he reached her, Zane spun and aimed a kick aimed at her right shoulder.

Sora was a little confused. Use only her legs? Was that even humanly possible? But the girl had to just shake her head mentally. Of course it was humanly possible, otherwise the Kazekage wouldn't have told her that she had to do it. But before she was able to fully grasp what she was supposed to do, Zane was already running toward her.
Damn... Sora thought as she watched the man run toward her. When his foot came up toward her shoulder, Sora leaned back a little bit and let her leg shoot upward to block her face from the other's foot. She hadn't leaned for enough back to completely dodge the attack, but just enough to get her leg high enough in the air.

Tanzu just stood there, a sad, yet knowing look in his eyes. Normally fierce, they just rested a dark red, the color of the fading sun. "Kazekage-sama...have you met anyone with the same beast as mine?..." he muttered, facing the man he now currently acknowledged for his superiority...

Stories: "There was once I did run into a demon host...it was a very long time ago," Zane began as he scratched his chin. "He was the host of the three tailed demon, but he died years ago. Speaking to him was how I became...I guess semi knowledgable on grasping their power," Zane told him.
Sora: Zane stopped his foot as he barely touched Sora's. He wasn't going to hit her on her first try, though he probably should have so that she learns better. Zane wasn't as good at training others as Luo was...Luo's training was much more dangerous than Zane's. "That wasn't too bad...but now you see that you can do it," Zane told her as he jumped back and lunged at her again. "Again," Zane told her as he kicked this time with his other foot, aiming to hit the opposite side he had just tried to hit.

The boy paused. "Grasping power..." He shook his head, making the small sphere disperse. "By your tone, I can tell he was a bit like me. But now I understand why..." Tanzu gazed off, the sans swept wind rushing by him and the sensei. "It's cause we're stuck with this destructive power that isn't used for anyone's healing but sometimes our own...only a few of us realize how to twist it into ways that make them useful..." He rubbed his eyes, turning away from the dust.

As soon as Zane jumped back, Sora's mind went into near panic mode. Her foot was still in the air, and she wasn't going to be able to put her foot down and be able to counter the man's attack. In one second, a few options appeared in Sora's mind. One, dodge the attack and get reprimanded for not following directions. Two, get hit by the attack and get reprimanded for not blocking the attack. Or three, spin and use the same foot to block. Sora was going to go with option number three.
The girl put her foot that was in the air down just a little bit so that she could turn a little bit. Then right before Zane's foot was able to contact with her shoulder, her foot shot up and kicked the man's foot away. But all wasn't very well. Sora hadn't used her foot to block the attack, but her ankle; and she had heard something crack. Did I just fracture my *calcaneus? The girl thought with worry.

M a r l e n e xx B a y o n e t t e"I Detest Vermin." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx► x G e n i n
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx▼ x S u n a g a k u r exxxxxxxxx[M]arlene's blue eyes had watched Zane walk up the wall, standing there, talking to her with his feet firmly planted and looking in no way about to part from the verticle surface. Marlene hummed, thinking the entire process through; to achieve such a feat by the use of appeared to be pure chakra manipulation. It had Marlene curious and shortly thinking about what other possibilities what pure chakra alone could allow her. But right now, she had a task - and it was tasks of the mental and learning nature that she excelled quite dramatically at.
The golden-haired genin walked over to the wall where here blue eyes closed. Marlene focused on her chakra system, feeling it flow throughout her body, out from her core and through its channels down into her legs. She followed this channel in both of her legs, following it down to her feet where she slowly, carefully pooled a small amount to beging with, raising a single foot off the ground to plant its wooden heel and sole onto the wall, testing the suction of the chakra as it coursed down through the pores of her foot and the grain of her sandals to the wall. Slowly, she tested the grip of the chakra by only slightly putting pressure in mimickry of what gravity would be like. When she found the grip was not secure enough, Marlene added more chakra, slowly increasing the amount until it seemed to take hold.
Carefully, Marlene copied what she had done with the foot attached to the wall, to the foot on the ground still. She was deliberate in her careful actions, thinking out every step, every next movement and applying her ever expanding knowledge. Marlene stepped up, both feet now on the wall, she quickly felt the grip begining to slip and eased in only a miniscule amount more of chakra and the hold secured itself. Experimentally, Marlene took a few steps up, and then a few back, before leaning backwards, hands planted on the floor, and she added a small burst of extra chakra. Her feet were blasted slightly from the wall, the chakra too much to do what it was meant to, and she used it to got into a backflip, landing on her feet, blue eyes peering at Zane. "Sufficient?"

Tanzu: "More or less," Zane told him. "Yes you are stuck with that destructive power, but hey," Zane said. "That destructive power can be used to protect this village," Zane pointed out.
Sora: "Well..." Zane said as he placed his foot back down. "That was actually pretty good. I told you this wasn't going to be easy," Zane told her as he walked over to her and got onto one knee, grabbing at her ankle gently. "I heard the crack, so lets see if I can't do something about it," he said as his hand shone white. "Diagnosis," he muttered as he began getting an X Ray in his mind of the wound.
Marlene: "Yeah, sufficient," Zane told her. "Lets work on the next jutsu," Zane said. "Lets work on the next technique. Actually, it's fairly similar to the jutsu we worked on. This time, instead of applying a set amount of chakra, you're going to have to let your chakra constantly flow out of you," Zane explained as he motioned for her to follow him to the water surface of a small pool in the corner of the facility. "Like so," Zane told her as he stepped unto the water's surface and walked over it. "It's a good way to control the release of chakra."
Suimen Hokou no Gyou (The Art of Water Walking)
Prerequisites: Kinobori no Jutsu
Description: A technique that enables the user to walk on the surface of water by concentrating chakra into the feet. It is also used for training; it allows an individual to learn how to control the release of chakra.

Tanzu shrugged, looking off in a manner that just said 'Whatever.' "Can we get to training?" he asked expectantly, looking back in the Kazekage's direction. 'Damn...why is it so f***ing hot out today?' It was unusually dry this afternoon, even for the village of sand...

Sora sat down on the ground and poked her ankle lightly, trying to see if anything was actually wrong with it. Sure enough, huge spikes of pain seared up her leg every time she poked her ankle. Zane walked over to her and held her ankle gingerly as he began to probe her ankle for any sign of fracture. Unnecessary, but she appreciated it.
"It's my calcaneus. It's fractured." Sora stated plainly. It wasn't worth having the Kazekage, even if it was just a clone, fuss over her like this. In fact, it was embarrassing and she just wanted this to stop. But being a polite and quiet girl, she just stayed put and didn't move or give any hint of embarrassment or annoyance.

Stories: "Alright, go to a place where you feel like you could be safe, a place you know, a place where you feel the most calm. My real self will follow you there," the clone told him as he dissapeared in a puff of smoke.
Sora: "Yeah...I see that," Zane said. "Don't worry about it, we can't continue training unless we fix this," he said as he placed his hand over it once again. "Chiyute major," Zane muttered as his chakra began to seep beneath Sora's skin, unto the fracture itself. Sora would feel a warm sensation going through her ankle as the fracture began to mend. "That should do it," Zane told her as he removed his hand from her ankle and stepped back a couple of feet. "Good as new," he smiled childishly.

Koizumi walked in the training facility ,watched them train, and smiled."I'm glad she's training."She mused to herself,then thought. hmm i could train by myself; or i could train and teach her some new jutsus as well. I will do that both.

Sora smiled lightly as she cracked her ankle again (like... knuckle cracking) to allow the bones to resettle back into their original places. "Thanks." She said quietly with a small smile on her lips. It was so nice of the Kazekage to fix it up for her. With her pitiful knowledge of medical jutsu, Sora would have had to give up training until her ankle was healed again. Thank goodness there was another medic here besides Koizumi.
When the girl stood up, she noticed that her newly mended ankle was a lot sturdier than her other ankle. And she sort of knew why. She had broken both of her ankles when she was little and because her father kept her on her feet and continued to push her, they never really had time to repair themselves fully. But she was glad now. Maybe her ankle could support her weight better and she wouldn't be as weak as before. "Sorry for the unnecessary break." Sora smiled shyly as she turned to face the Kazekage. "We may begin again."
