Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yoshi wakes up and notices the time. "I'm finally going to be early to Shika's training. I hope he is there, waiting for me." Yoshi slowly walks out the door to Shika. He gets there and slowly walks up the stairs. "Shika?" He sees him sleeping on a chair.
"Did I doze off? Wasn't I supposed to meet you here after lunch?" He said as he was getting up.
"Ya. You did tell me. I decided to learn that new technique a bit sooner than I thought. So let's get the training started. What am I going to do? By the way, you can run me as much as you want. That sleep really gave me energy." Yoshi said with much enthusiasm.

"Well...I am awake, and I did tell you that I would help you prepare so here goes. Didn’t I also tell you that you will learn this technique after the exams? Well, you don’t listen, and neither do I. Next lesson will be to call other shadows to you, and do Shadow Sewing at the same time. There are two ways to bring shadows to you. This is the part that is more advanced. If you really want a fighting chance, then learn them both. I don’t have to tell you this. You have already learned the first one. This one will be a bit tougher to learn. This is how it works. You know the feeling you have when you bend and move your shadow?”

Then Yoshi thought. “I know where this is going. I will make him think that I fell for it again. Then when he explains it to me, I will trap him.” Yoshi thought this plan would actually work.”
“This technique has the same feeling. Just imagine yourself calling the shadow to you. Once you imagine that, see yourself doing whatever you want with the shadow." Shika watches Yoshi with a grin; waiting for him to mess-up. He had forgotten that he already told this to him the last time that he taught him how to call shadows. Yoshi was preparing the trap.

Yoshi tries as hard as he could. "It isn't working. Did I do something wrong?"
Shika starts to laugh. "Ya. You didn’t pay attention the last time I told you about imagining. Pay attention this time. I was just making up the part that you imagine the shadow. Naras don't need to imagine when it comes to shadow. All you need to do is move your inner chakra. When I say this, I mean that Naras are the only clan, that I know that can manipulate something that isn't part of them. People always say that Aburames can control bugs. However, they can't. They just tell them what to do and they obey for life-threatening reasons."

"So you mean that there is no clan that you know of that can manipulate something that isn't part of them? Then how can we?"
"We can't. We see ourselves as part of every shadow we touch and that shadow touches and so on. That is why we can move shadows and people that are touching our shadows. Because at the moment that our shadows touch them, they are part of us."
Yoshi starts to scratch his head. "Then how can we move a shadow we aren't touching?" He then makes a shadow from behind Shika attach to him. Shika was stuck, and he tried to see why, but he was pinned.

“That is what you get for underestimating my skill, and how much I pay attention.” Yoshi started to smile after he said this. Yoshi then let go of Shika.
"As I was saying, that is why this technique is the hardest of the clan. You have to attach yourself to the shadow. You have to use chakra to connect yourself to the shadow. You might think that connecting chakra to your shadow will take some time. It would, but you are connecting a special chakra. The chakra we have is not like all the others."
Yoshi was not confused anymore, but he still asked questions.

"How is this technique different than the other one that I learned? I mean, you are teaching the same thing, what is there to learn?"
"You can learn the new part. This part will do the same thing, but the next will be Shadow Sewing." Shika looked at Yoshi to see if he had any change in attitude. Shika keeps going. "My point is that you need to think of yourself as part of the shadow. Here are the hand signs.

This last part is the extra. Remember not to mix them up." He shows him the hand signs. "Then just put some chakra in one part of your body. This is how you will control it. When you feel like … You already know this part. However, you should remember that you still can move your legs when you are doing this technique. You will move them separately, but it will feel like it is another part of your body." Shika starts to think "Maybe I still need to explain more to him, but then again, that is what I said last time."

"Can I start to try it? I will try to pull your shadow. Wait, that didn’t work last time. Did you even mention the new part?" Yoshi looked at Shikamaru with a face.
“Ya. I forgot to tell you. That extra hand sign is what gives you the ability to do Shadow Sewing. If it wasn’t for that part, it would still be Shadow Gathering. Now do Shadow Summoning before lunch. Remember what you turned your tendrils after you did Shadow Gathering then Shadow Sewing? Try to do it again.” Shika backs up to watch from a distance. He then sits down on a chair.

Yoshi does Shadow Summoning, and calls the shadow of a kid that just ran around the corner. The kid’s shadow wasn’t long enough, so he called the shadow of the chair. He then makes the tendrils come up from the ground, and turn the form into a wolf without any problems. "I think I can got the hang of this. I did much better than last time. My practice really did help."
"There is one thing that you should know. When you do Shadow Gathering or Shadow Summoning to a person, it is an automatic Shadow Imitation. The only difference is, when you do Shadow Summoning, and automatic Shadow Sewing appears also."
Shika gets ready to leave.

Shadow Summoning 1000 SP

Vaan opened his eyes to show veins, his byakugan was activated. "You were easy to see I saw you coming from a mile away, nice entrance though. I was hoping first to learn 128 strikes of divination and then I was hoping to have some weight training practice to get my weight up higher than what your at right now. how long might that take?" Vaan stood there silently waiting for a reply studying his sensei, He knew he was good and seemed to have a body of pure taijutsu that is what Vaan wanted to be pure taijutsu, to him taijutsu wasn't that useful but he wanted to be able to open the gates of which power was limitless. He studyed his sensei a little bit more awating a reply, patiently.


1/14 128 Strikes of Divination

Tai scratched the back of his head and said "I did all that? Boy that was fast....and i don't remember any of it. Although i did have a dream about a golden apple." Lee gave Tai an annoyed look and said "Yeah you were pretty drunk. Oh yeah and you spit in my face" Tai gave a nervous laugh and said "Well anyway....what are you going to teach me now?" Lee pondered for a minute and replied "Well i could teach you how to get behind your enemies while they're in mid air. Yeah i think i'll teach you the Leaf Shadow Dance. Its essential for the forward lotus."

1/5

Tai blinked and said "Well i don't know about the forward lotus. Its not really a technique i'm interested in but i would love to learn that Leaf Shadow Dance." Lee frown feeling dissapointed that Tai wasn't interested in learning the forward lotus. "Yeah i guess i'll teach you that. Basically while the enemy is airborne, the user jumps in such a way as to appear below the enemy. Since the victim is airborne, he is in a vulnerable position to a more damaging attack leading to combo attacks such as the Forward Lotus. Many people have copied my technique with their own twist."

2/5

Tai laughed and said "You mean like Sasuke with his shishi rendan. He just taught me that one before i went looking for you." Lee stood there staring at Tai for a second, absorbing his words. "SASUKE! You want to learn the cheap lion combo but not the gracefull forward lotus! ARG!" Tai stood there not knowing what to say when Lee said "No matter. The fact that you learned a variation of my technique gives me slight gratification. Now on to the training. Allow me to give a demonstration." Lee then dashed behind Tai, grabbed him tightly and tossed him high into the air.

3/5

Neoshin did'nt even budge as he looked at Vann move around him and once he set up for the 128 trigrams he knew that he had to be pretty fast to hit him with it but not even having a close chance Neoshin turned around as he was about to start the strikes and he lightly gave him a emtpy palm strike pushing him back with a invisible chakra blast using incredible speed even with his weights on "You'll have to be a little more creative than that."

Neoshin waited for a second and ducked to the left going downward he dodged the kick and used his leaf gale to trip the leg the clone stood on sending it away with a powerfull wind recoil from his leg as it slide under he arm and tripped him "Thats the bloom of the leaf.... learn it well as it will be part of your code."

Vaan frowned he thought he saw something with his byakugan, but he must have been mistaken. He frowned again when he saw he was being easily defeated. Vaan continued to think of a way to beat this guy. His clone body flickered behind neoshin, "Rasengan!" aiming it right at his back. Vaan didn't really think this would work but he had to try something. He continued and started studying his sensei again trying to learn more with his eyes. He wished they were better though they were decently powerful right now.
