Tares still waited for hirose, but he couldn't help but wonder what Luo and Zane were up to, he wanted to be there but he knew he would be useless. He would be pointless for him to be there.

Nodding, Luo pondered. "Well, how do we get the message out to him to begin making them under secrecy?" Luo stared at the first few stages of the style. The first and second stage seemed to be something they already possessed.

"Hmm...well, lets see," Zane thought as he walked over to the one of the sinks. "Hey, these pipes lead to the Mist docks...couldn't you summon a small shark to deliver the message?" Zane pointed out.

Hirose quietly put the scroll in his pocket and moved to the docks with Tares. He would trust Zane with this obviously private and important matter, whatever it was.

By his body postion, LT could clearly tell that Hirose was upset, non the less, he followed the boy out.

Nodding, Luo walked over to the sink, plugging it and filling it with water. He then performed the seals, and slammed his hand on the surface of the water. Instantly, a school of piranha appeared, swimming around in circles. "Hey guys, I need you to deliver a message to Tares and his clone on the docks. Tell him I need assassin's blades made. Only three pairs at first." Luo then wrote down a rough sketch and skematics of how they looked and were supposed to connect to the underside of the individual's hands. He then took out a small tube and rolled the paper, putting it in between one of the piranha's teeth. With a nodd, Luo unplugged the sink, letting them fall through the pipe that led to the docks. He then turned to Zane and sighed. "Now that that little bit is done, I wonder which stage we should start with." Pointing at the stages, Luo motioned for Zane to look. "See, from stages one through four, I say we've already done all of that. As for stage five, that's pretty much our personalized katana right? I mean, we've pretty much chosen and became one with our blades. It is the sixth and seventh stages I believe we have to strive towards. The fluidity of silence and maneuverability. What do you think?"

"Yeah you're pretty much right. You being a senbon master and me being a medic, we both know each and every vital point in the human body. It seems we have to go back to basics then," Zane pointed out as he unsheathed his katana after looking at the scroll. "So we need to strike fast, accurately, and silently. That shouldn't be too bad, I saw we practice on the dummies over there, and the other can watch as we attempt to strike without alerting one another," Zane said. "Unless you have a better way to do this...?"
Stage 6
Anbu Jounin
Roku Taira
Back to the basics, the Assassin realizes that the original training is just as important today as it was back then. Focusing on furthering their speed, they also practice their aim, sharpening their skills to a point beyond most people. Dummies are designed to mimic a human body, so that the assassin can further learn to nail vital organs, or specific points in the spine.

Slowing nodding, Luo smiled. "How about water body clones? Wouldn't the best judge of our own technique be, well ourselves?" Forming the seals, Luo created one more water body clone. He then waited for Zane.

"Oh...that's an even better idea..." Zane chuckles as he forms the seals with on hand as a water body clone appears next to him. "There...now what?"

Pausing for a moment, Luo began forming more water body clones, until there was a hundred of them. "I forgot about the whole, they poof in one go thing. I guess now we just go on opposite ends of the room, and train this method until we're able to defeat all one hundred of our clones with nothing but vital points, mainly on the spine. I think if our speed progresses as it should, then we should be able to get through them without being touched. Basically, our silent skills will improve based on the speed and reaction time our senses attain through this process. So the clones more likely than not will hear us at points, and try to defend themselves or another clone, but our task here is to kill every one of them without being touched or maimed in the process by physical, or ranged contact." The task seemed a bit daunting, even for Luo. The clones were his likeness completely, down to the use of the left sharingan eye. It would take more than effort to complete this task, mainly without being maimed in the process.
((I figure we do like eight LONG DETAILED posts, every two representing a whole days worth of work. Sound good? After your next post, I'll post my first post to train to kinda see how long I can get it.))

Zane nodded as his chakra began to flow through his body. He formed the seals ending with the sign of the rooster as he muttered the jutsus's name. Suddenly clones appeared next to him until there was a hundred of them. The temperature in the room dropped slightly as all of the clones had his bloodline. "You do realize that this is not going to be an easy process seing to the fact that they have all of our capabilities..." Zane pointed out as they went to the other side of the room. "Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained..."

Luo chuckled walking to the right side of the room, yelling "Good luck on your end." As he reached his side, he made a twirling motion with his index finger, indicating he wanted all of them to turn around. He would make it more complicated when he felt he could. Unsheathing Senbon Sakura slowly, he stared at them intently, his left eye calculating every movement they made. Centering his body lower to the ground, Luo burst forth with speed unparalleled, his sapphire blue chakra bursting out of his feet in the initial moment. He wasn't classified as a speed ninja for nothing. Racing forth, he slashed at one of them in the spinal region, hitting the intended vital point. However, as the sound was heard, it caused the clones around him to turn around as well. This was the hard part. Instantly, a flurry of senbon and kunai flew at him. Flipping over one of the clones, he used it as a human shield as it poofed and he sheathed his sword moving through the crowd quietly. "I can't take the direct approach with this style. It alerts too many at once. I'll just have to go about this in another way." As the commotion died down, Luo began the slow and tedious process. Using a distraction method, Luo spat out one lone senbon to the other corner of the room. As it hit the ground, it seemed the whole crowd's attention went in that direction. "Perfect." With the crowds movement, Luo in one swift motion unsheathed and slashed the gullets of three clones in a horizontal motion. As they cascaded into water, Luo quickly sheathed it, moving through the crowd to another area. As the water fell, the attention went to that direction, and Luo once again attempted to slash the spine of another clone where he was. As he did however, a group of clones spotted him, slashing at his blade arm, and throwing senbon at his vital points. Ducking and lifting the blade over his head to block the other blades, Luo used spitting needles to take them out, aiming for vital points only. However, it didn't take long for all the clones to begin to hear the commotion. "Crap. Only six down and they're picking up fast." Luo's body was hit with in the time span of twelve hours, thirty two senbon, sixteen kunai, and two minor attempted slashes on the back. In those twelve hours, Luo was able to take down of the one-hundred clones, twenty exactly. However, it was only eight of those kills that were swift and undetected. As a small clock beeped for the half way mark of the day, the clones and Luo paused for a moment, as Luo drank a gallon of water, and ate a quick meal under ten minutes, catching his breath in the process. "Definitely no walk in the park," he muttered.

"Alright..." Zane muttered to himself as he unsheathed Aisukami. He motioned for the clones to turn around as he removed his eyepatch revealing his sharingan. I got this Zane thought as he hopped off the ground, his body flickering away as he suddenly reapeared behind the clone on the far right, his back turned to the clone as he stabs upwards beside his hip. The sword stabbed through the clone's vital spot as it cascaded into water. The other clones hearing this, send out a fury of kunais as they all dart at him. Zane's body flickered once more as he avoids the kunias, appearing on the cealing of the room. "Hmm...if I kill one, all of them will be alerted...I must figure out another way," Zane said to himself as he dives down in the middle of the group, silently landing in the middle of five clones as he stabs at each one of them hitting a vital spot each time. Suddenly several swords come crashing down on him as he blocks it, being brought donw to one knee.
After 12 hours of constant battling, Zane had almost the exact same results as Luo did. "This is going to be tougher than I thought..." Zane sighed

After eating and picking out senbon from various areas of his body, Luo knew it was time to give it another go. As the clones turned, Luo once again slowly unsheathed Senbon Sakura. As he did, he walked forward slowly, cushioning his steps with chakra to keep them silent. As he entered the crowd, he immediately sped towards the other area as they turned to see what was coming through. He then struck. In a fluid and beautiful dance of the blade, Luo took down six of them simultaneously, each one a kill based on a different area of the spine. His body then blurred as he moved backwards into the crowd. It would have been effective if the clones did not possess the sharingan eye as well. As he blurred back, three of them caught a glimpse of him and turned for the attack. Here was where Luo was beginning to improve. He was now anticipating being caught, but attempting to silence those who see him before they alerted anyone else. Quickly, he took out three senbon with his non-blade arm, throwing them in the direction of each clone before they made any commotion. As he did, the poofed, and his body blurred back once again as the group turned to see the puddles. He repeated the process until in total in that second time of eleven hours and fifty minutes, killed 28 clones, 19 of which were killed silently and effectively. He suffered only 13 senbon wounds, 3 kunai wounds, and three attempts at katana slashes that he evaded. He was getting better and he could tell.

Zane grinned as he burst into a flurry of mist. The mist has always been his ally, his companion. The mist shielded him, kept him safe from all eyes. As long as he was one with the mist, none shall beat him. The mist overtook the entire area as he wandered about through it, weaving past the many clones undetected. Zane continued weaving until he found a perfect target to the far right. He went for the strike, going for the jugular as the clone swiftly dissapeared. Before any of the other clones could even react, Zane was gone once again, into the mist. This was the trick...the mist was their ally. As long as he was in the mist he could do anything. His body blurred once more as he went in for another strike. Zane managed to kill over 30 clones in this way before one of them managed to catch onto him. Zane laughed as he finally appeared from the mist and looked over at Luo. "The mist is our ally, as shinobis of Kiri, we can't be seen. We'll finish this in the next hours...I sense trouble." Zane stated flat out as he waited for Luo's response.
