 Character Theme: And Dignified Like A Blooming Flower
Serene had felt like she should have tried to break up the fight between Takeo and Sessouresu, but she realized she couldn't really do so without involving herself in the battle herself. Besides, Takeo had a lot of pent up frustration to get rid of, and Sessouresu just loved to prove his dominance over everyone else, while she was sure a bit of damage would be done it was probably best just to let the boys have at it. Bots and there testosterone, sometimes there was just nothing you could do...
There was a benefit to this as well. It gave Serene a look at both of the boys abilities, they were still competing against eachother in these battles so such information could be invaluable. Once again she wasn't really looking for a promotion to chunin, but she knew being able to capitalize on information about enemies was an important skill to practice. Takeo was more surprising than she expected, he had mastered not only the fire element, but also could utilize the earth element. And Sessouresu, his usual overconfidense was at least slightly justified by the sheer power he commanded. But the most surprising thing she saw was at the end of the fight, when Takeo's normally black eyes turned red. Serene had to blink a bit, chuckling to herself once her eyes confirmed it again. It was ironic, he was just feeling inadequate because he didn't unlock the ability, and now here he was unlocking the sharingan. It seemed Sessouresu had his uses after all.
Serene stood in front of Takeo, her arms crossed in a bit of annoyance, like an older sister upset with a younger brother for getting into a fight. "Well Takeo, I hope getting beat up and all made you feel better... You shouldn't let your anger get the better of you like that..." Serene's annoyance seemed to fade however, giving way to a smile. She leaned a little closer to Takeo. "But at least something good came of it, right? So, how does it feel? You know, having a sharingan?" There was a bit of a gleam in Serene's eye, it wasn't a question she was just asking, she really wanted to know. She'd never know how it felt to have a sharingan herself, she might learn what it could do, but she'd only be able to imagine what it felt like.

 ~Feed the fire, break your vision~
Takeo looked up as he noticed planted feet in front of him. That stance was familiar, his sister Ai used to do the same thing when he and his brother fought. Serene's tone of voice was the same too as Ai's. He huffed as she chastised him on his actions. On the inside though, he was glad she cared.
As she leaned closer, his eyes flickered back to their red color from before to meet her gleam. What did this feel like? His eyes studied her. The slight twitch of her own eyes was tracked easily. "It's.......different. Almost as if I've entered a different world........I don't know......"
He feel silent. Then a smile grew on his face. "Powerful. Like a surge of power that I get as my vision improves. Like I can feel it through my entire body, from my skin to my veins."
Her first thought did make him step back in his thoughts though. Was he being too reckless? Could he have just held back? It was a silly thing to butt in between Serene's and Sessouresu's conversation and provoke a fight. But he couldn't hold himself back. He couldn't figure if it was his dislike for the other boy or his growing friendship with this girl, but his soul had burned within him to unleash his held back fury onto Sessouresu, almost as if it was just looking for a reason to justify its release. He figured he'd just have to try to hold himself back next time. His anger had made him hot and stupid, and therefore he had lost. Next time he would focus, just like his eyes.......

 Yasuhiro Uchiha
Yasuhiro strode slowly into the room. His eyes were cast at the floor and his arms were crossed over his chest in thought. The sword at his hip clinked slightly with each step he took. He didn't really look up at anyone as he walked and slowly made his way back to his little corner where he removed his sword and took a seat against the wall holding the sword so the scabbard rested against his shoulder.
Perhaps I was wrong to judge her so harshly. He thought looking a few feet ahead of him at the floor. Perhaps she wasn't the only person he had misconceptions about. What about Haruki was thre something he didn't know about him as well that would change his opinion? Koto seemed ok, and serene, though her comments weren't necessarily kind the intention was clearly to be helpful. What about Sessouressu? He was quickly realising he knew nothing about his comrades.
Looking up he noticed Takeo being treated for severe burns and Sessouressu was over eating with a big smirk. "Wait, What did I miss?" he asked blinking in confusion.

Serene smiled as the smile spread across Takeo's own face. It was easy to see she was happy for him. Takeo explained the feeling, but Serene still couldn't imagine it for herself...it didn't really matter though, she already knew she wouldn't gain a sharingan of her own ever. "Well I'm happy that it makes you feel stronger. I hope you can learn to use it as well as your brother has." Serene couldn't help looking back to her fight with Haruki. He had done much more than use the sharingan and expect it to make him better, he showed a knowledge of its limits and was wise in implementing tactics due to it.
"You know, you'd better not be thinking about not using this if we have to face eachother... I fought your brother with him using his, and I did nearly kill him... Well, he did sort of almost kill me too, but... Anyway its best for both of us if we use everything we have. You get to learn how to use your sharingan, and I get to learn how to face one." Serene looked to the others in the holding area, she knew many of them had unlocked sharingans and having a sparing partner that had one could help her greatly if she ever needed to face any of them seriously. "But, that we can think about later. Right now we have these exams to focus on, right?"
As she finished speaking, Serene noticed Yasuhiro come out of the exame area, seemingly finished with whatever the test was. As he looked from Sessouresu to Takeo confusedly, she just smiled. "Oh, just a little scuffle, boys being boys...things got burnt, prides were hurt, sharingans were unlock...nothing too special..."

~Feed the fire, break your vision~
Takeo felt his own smile widen as Serene's appeared. His gaze flicked over to his brother as she mentioned him. He wasn't sure if he could use his eyes as well as his brother, but he would have time to learn how to use his eyes before they sparred anyway. Her story about their fight impressed him. Though if he thought about it, Serene's style of movement would better keep up with Haruki's more than his own thanks to her agility. Their sparring would help him prepare for any future fights with his brother and he could get used to fighting opponents who were faster than him, as well as enemies wielding swords. His gaze wandered to Sessouresu and then to Koto and even Yasuhiro. Yes, we have quite a few sword users.....
He nodded to Serene as she mentioned the exams. "Yeah! Speaking of which, you haven't gone yet have you? You know what your doing right? If not I can share my knowledge." Takeo was perfectly willing to share this info with his friend if it would help.

Character Theme: Rin Toshite Saku Hana no Gotoku"No, this section of the exam is still a mystery to me. But, I'd rather not have you tell me about it" It was definitely strange, Serene seemed serious about not wanting him to tell her about the exam. True she would have a much better chance of success if she knew about it, but unlike everyone else taking the exam, success wasn't actually her goal. "I don't actually care much about promotion to chunin... To me this is just more training. If I fail and don't make chunin, I can't say that I'd care much, or at all. In fact if I do get promoted I still won't care. I'm here now because of what I can learn from this. I don't know whats coming next, I have to think on the fly to figure things out... Its much better preparation for actual missions then just sparring, don't you think?"
The truth was, Serene wasn't destined for much greatness within the Uchiha clan. She couldn't see herself ever becoming a jonin, or becoming one of the most powerful in the clan. Her limits were much lower than all of those around her, and it was possible in the future they would all grow past her and she would be stuck at a mediocre level of power. There was also the fact that she would always be different, she couldn't see many others accepting her as a superior regardless of her skill level. So she never thought of things like rank. If she stayed a genin for the rest of her life she wouldn't mind, all that was important was that she improved herself as much as possible. "Besides, it wouldn't be nice for you to spoil it for me...the surprise is what makes it fun..."

 A clinking sound followed through the area, and a man dressed in red armor appeared, bowing slightly. "Altima Serene. Your presence is requested for the beginning of the third set of trials, under Uchiha standards and law. Make your way to the tent on the end of the training field, and present your token of trials." The man handed him a small slip of paper, and his eyes hardened beneath his mask. "Do you accept this challenge?"

Character Theme: Rin Toshite Saku Hana no GotokuIt was a bit ironic, Serene had to say. She had been waiting out there for a while, and as soon as Takeo thought to tell her about the test to improve her chances, she was called to it before he would have been able to explain it. It was a good thing that she didn't want the explanation though, it would certainly be disappointing if she had wanted that info. "Well, looks like I wasn't meant to get any tips from you anyway. I guess its time for me to try my hands at this test then..." Serene turned to the man wearing the armor, nodding to him as she was handed the slip of paper. Serene's mind didn't wonder at all to what the test could be, instead she sharpened her mind so she would be able to react to whatever it was.
"*sigh* Well, lets get this thing started. I guess I'll see you once this is done Takeo." Serene looked back to him, a smile on her face, before turning back to the armored man, her gaze turning serious once again. She had to go to the tent and present the slip of paper, she guessed. She headed through the door, getting ready for whatever was in store for her.

  Was it possible to navigate in the shadows completely undetected? It's not easy to sneak around in a room full of ninja, but to actually blindside one of the keenest individuals was definitely not an easy task. However... "Ugh. It wreaks of premature failure and teenage angst. Who the ******** let these undeserving twits compete anyway?" He groaned as if he despised the very idea of sharing a room with the combatants, but he was really smirking arrogantly underneath that gas mask. He'd enjoy watching them squirm in the final round. Most would die, very few would be lucky to come out with their sanity and or limbs still intact. Oh how he reveled in the thought~!
He carried himself just like a hungry predator- like Senri. An unmistakable killing intent oozed from the man. The similarities were there, but not tangible enough to make such a broad assumption. After all Senri was clearly a female and there was no physical resemblance what-so-ever, save for the red eyes. But one thing was for sure. This man's body was infested with Senri's chakra.
A spark flashed in his red eye before his body seemed to vanish as if he were just a hallucination caused by the stress and quite possibly a result of the strange drugs that may or may not have been in the punch bowl.
The strange individual managed to slide himself behind Umbra without her notice and stick her in the neck with a syringe. He somehow managed to get his fingers on her pressure points to ensure a safe injection....but he was extremely quick about it. What would take most doctors a good three minutes, it took this guy only two seconds. "'Sup." He murmured in her ear, greeting her with a casual nod and briskly shoved his hands in his coat pockets- The needle disappearing from sight. The man was no older than eighteen, with his tall, probably most built figure in this room. He was also the only one without a pulse.
...Seriously? Was this REALLY Senri controlling his body? Well...if it was, she was really good at playing the role of insufferable p***k that everybody wished dead. No. She was a crafty little snake, putting up such a convincing guise...she truly was the girl of many faces. Of course...death had many faces.

 "Let no good deed go unpunished,"Umbra Uchiha Umbra had continued to listen and observe the contestants in the room, she made mental notes, after the girl in her undergarments came back through the door, Umbra was on the verge of falling asleep, God was this boring! If she wasn’t so disciplined she would likely have just wandered away and left Senri to her own dirty work. But Umbra was a better warrior than that. It was somewhat disheartening to hear all the gossip and rumors that were floating around. The Uchiha needed to have their future warriors majorly overhauled if it was going to survive. She watched as more students started to pass through the door to their next task before they came back about an hour or so later with either triumphant looks on their faces or the disappointment of defeat. Umbra wished that she could perhaps watch what was going on within the testing areas, anything than standing around doing jack-squat. She would have meditated or something during this time, but she didn’t want to miss the signal from Senri in case she was going to be called to action, when she got into meditation it could be hard to get her out, she didn’t want to risk failure on her first task. Every task reflected upon her as a warrior.
Umbra’s eyes suddenly darted to the left where she thought she saw some new movement in the corner of her eye. She looked around for a few moments, she could have sworn that there was someone she hadn’t seen in here before, but she didn’t see anything after the initial shadow. Maybe she was a little more tired than she thought. Huh… oh well. She was once more on the verge of falling asleep when she felt something sharp enter her neck. She gave a soft mixture of a surprised yelp and a girly shriek with the injection, without even thinking, Umbra spun on her foot with a vicious right hook aimed towards the freak with the gasmask, using her spin to get more momentum to add some power to that swing. She was going to make that asshat swallow that stupid canister on his face if he didn’t get out of the way, it wasn’t as though she was angry per say, the reaction was more ‘knee-jerk’ than anything else.
Umbra was a little more worried about what the hell he just did to her neck? Was it something that was going to kill her or help her? When he finished gaging down his oxygen canister he could tell her immediately, or if need be, she could twist his arms and legs till they broke to get her answer, either way it was fine with her. Let no good deed go unpunished, let no evil deed go unrewarded…
Umbra brought her hand up to her neck after the right hook had run its course to see if she was bleeding badly, to check and see if there was any sort of substance that could indicate poison or the like. She gave the freak a sharp look and tried to refrain herself from jumping to conclusions any more than she already did. "Let no evil deed go unrewarded."

~Feed the fire, break your vision~
After he had wished Serene luck, Takeo sat down, fiddling with his Sharingan. He studied everyone in the room with it, noticing the casual flow of their chakra. Some were practicing small things, and Takeo could see different flows of chakra. Some focused in the hand. Some welled up in the chest before traveling up and out the mouth. It was all very interesting to see it first hand.
After a while, he thought he noticed a strange flicker of chakra, appearing then disappearing only to reappear somewhere else. It looked like a male, but that was all Takeo could study before it would be gone from his sight again. A strange yelp/scream grabbed his attention and his eyes focused on the new girl, who was now spinning to punch a person he hadn't noticed before wearing a gasmask. Her hand shot up to her neck in a feeling manner. Takeo realized he wouldn't have recognized her movement if not for his new eyes. What had that guy done to deserve a punch? The motion she was making reminded him of something on his skin that needed to be brushed off. Had he touched her neck in some way? She didn't look like the type to take uninvited contact lightly. Takeo focused his attention on this to see what would happen.

  Sharingan, One Tomoe: Active"To and fro, to and fro...
like tiny ant beneath my gaze,
milling about all full of doubt.
Until I seethe about from atop my mount,
and set them all ablaze.
To and fro... to and fro..."The Stranger sat quietly, quite statuesque. The only thing that moved was his eyes. Brilliant and crimson, alight with curiosity. Searching and seeking, and above all...loathing. What could he hope to gain here. There was nothing more to be learned here: Sessouresu was stronger and arrogant, Serene was dextrous and without a sense of self preservation, Takeo was finally taught his limitations and gained his Sharingan, Koto had remained silent however in taijutsu there was no match save for maybe the Clan Lord himself, Yasuhiro from his most recent comment still proved unintelligent as he was unskilled, this new Umbra was the only puzzle left.
However even with that hint of ... her there, around her neck; he had grown bored and agitated. He should be training, fighting, adapting and learning, growing. He wanted power, hungered for more... his sanity was slowly unraveling. The more he let his mind dwell back on how easily Sessouresu handled him, the more it was like a coyote gnawing on his paw trying to escape from a hunter's trap. Only this trap was not of any hunter, but that of his own weakness. The Stranger's eyes began to burn brighter, hotter, darker. So full of malice and contempt was he, the animosity he felt towards the smug cyclops in the corner. How jealous he was of the power in him, the boy might as well be a colossus of towering height and oppressive weight.. he had one weapon.
Like himself, Sessouresu dealt in arrogance and gambled with anger. For now that is what he could use against him, however if he was man as much as he claimed, he would one day outgrow that teenage angst. On that day so too would his on weapon against him be gone, on that day he had to be stronger than he. Or forever be...."Ant.... Boot"Those words echoed in his mind and began to fester. Slowly his mind began to rot away at that thought and in the hatred a poor boy was being tortured repeatedly, within the slighted and forsaken cage of his mind. Haruki had been suffering grueling, dismembering, disemboweling, decapitating and horribly maiming activities, and since the manifestation of Haruki's conscious form was all that in itself, consciousness; it could be reformed whole and the process repeated. Endlessly, save for his sanity, which may or may not be intact. To that the Stranger couldn't care less and to a degree go off on the pain of the Karasu. In fact he believed if he was to be mentally tortured, that it was all the crow's doing, and that he should suffer three fold.
In the middle of his brooding and abyssal hatred, there was whisper. A movement, so subtle and all full of liquid grace; had he not specifically been watching everything and nothing he would have missed it entirely. There was a person... not entirely accurate. The Stranger's eyes flicked to the presence that just appeared and beneath his mask his eyes grew wide. A slight spasmodic twitch about his lips, it twisted into not quite a smile but it was no longer a snide sneer. The man was odd, he looked so much.. his body oozed with chakra. Senri's chakra specifically.
He watched him stick Umbra with a syringe and in that liquid grace he saw the serpent of his mind's desire. He flew up to his feet almost like a marionette; a smile that matched his Cheshire like mask. No, his smile probably looked worse, much more deranged than the demonic mask. Only a human could twist themselves beyond such irreparable states. He rushed across the room and with a speed few jounin could match (though if he attempted he probably could never match the speed again in his life) and glomp tackled "Senri" and took the right hook closer to a haymaker from Umbra in "his" stead. It hurt and he could care less, Hebi was here. She always gave him something fun to due, much like trying to hand feed venomous cobras, drink a vat of hydrochloric acid, and impaling one's self with a length of barbed festering black wood. You know, fun stuff.
Whispering so only the masked man would hear,"Hello my darling Hebi... Why on earth are you wearing a man? Although he does have your lovely eyes, and is rather well endowed perhaps that is why you chose him~"There was a teasing sing song lilt to his whispering voice. He looked at the body more closely, with his sensor abilities as well as his Sharingan eyes, it wasn't a boy or rather it was a boy and now resembled a husk more closely. He tapped his fingers rhythmically above the chest where the pulse should be in a thum-thump pattern. Whispering again, with an almost child like giggle."Hebii~ why are you wearing a corpse? Are you plotting something naughty?"The fact that Umbra knocked the dickens out of him made him forget he needed to be on his guard around the snake. It also made him forget how close he was to her, this is why cats tend to get bit in the wild once or twice. Their curiosity gets the better of them, but at least for the time being his psychosis was shifted. Or was it his hunger for power always had him gravitate towards Senri for a specific purpose?

Karoshi grinned beneath his mask. He expected this much from a trained assassin. In a situation like this, the typical response for him would be to perform some form of evasive maneuver, but instead he quickly ducked down just enough so she'd miss the more....important part of his gas mask. He planned to deliberately take the brunt of the hit between his eyes, but his strategy had gone south when he felt the weight of something smaller than himself plow him over -Holy s**t Haruki had come out of nowhere.
Karoshi- Otherwise known as Senri let out a loud grunt as his back collided with the ground. It didn't hurt or anything, but the body still had to breathe, and it knocked the wind right out of him. His neck made a sick popping noise as his head was jostled back as if it didn't belong on his shoulders. Karoshi wrenched his head up to see his assailant- and was less than pleased. It made things especially uncomfortable when Stranger began whispering in his ear and started prodding at his body. "..." Karoshi felt the lower lid of his right eye rise up in a subtle twitch. 'Even after using a different body...he was still able to figure out I'm playing puppeteer? That's impossible...unless...he was a sensor.' He concluded to himself, scoffing all the while. 'I won't lose to you!'
All competitive bullshit aside. Haruki- Er...Stranger was interfering with her plans, yet again. And that was unacceptable! Senri was not here to play around. There was no way she'd let Stranger spoil her carefully crafted facade. Using Karoshi's inherited strength he pushed the Stranger's face away with his own hand, and rounded on him. "Just who the ******** are you talking about, Bright eyes!? Who the ******** are you!? What are you, a fudge packer or something? I hate to break it to you, but I don't swing that way." He sounded like a cross between mortified and pissed.
Though it was brief, he managed to shoot a quick glance at Umbra, giving her a very stern and cruel looking stare. It was the same look Senri had given to her before they departed. Though, somewhere in those irises was a deep respect for her new black hand- Her partner in crime. 'Umbra.' He mouthed her name silently, while keeping a firm grip on Haruki's face. Hopefully she would be able to recognize such a subtle sign.

"Let no good deed go unpunished,"Umbra Uchiha Umbra’s face didn’t express the level of annoyance that was bubbling inside of her, she pulled back her fingers that graced her neck for a short while and saw the small spots of blood. She didn’t know who this moron was who jumped in front of her to catch her fist, well… she wasn’t going to be denied her retribution! Her mood had already soured by the sudden jab in her neck by some whack-job with a gas-mask and now that her sport was tackled by that dip-stick with the cat-mask she had spotted earlier. Umbra’s eyes narrowed somewhat as she took the step to closed the space between her and the pile of… wait, was the cat boy whispering something to that other guy under him.
…..
This was not the time or the place to partake in such activities, she didn’t care that this pair had a homosexual relationship –to each unto their own- but in the middle of the floor in a public place in the middle of exams? Nope. Wrong. She pushed those thoughts out of her head, she honestly didn’t expect anything more than this from the worms that took up space here anyway. Now that she was beside the pair she gave a quarter of a turn, and with a swift motion she hulled back her foot and lashed out to the cat-boy that was on top of the gas-mask wearing hoodlum that she had a bone to pick with. Whether or not her foot connected with him and he was sent flying across the room with the force or he simply dodged it, it didn’t matter to her, one way or another, she was going to finish what she tried to start, she would not be denied her retribution!!
She looked down at the older boy as he looked up at her. Then she raised her foot, and began a barrage of kicks. She didn’t really care if she hit, hurt or maimed this boy or not. If she connected than she connected, if she totally missed because he was that good at getting the hell out of the way, then she supposed she didn’t care, she would have made her point anyway. Granted, her goal was to reduce the gas-mask wearing douche-bag to nothing more than a pair of arms and legs flailing around while the rest of his body was crammed into the hole created by the barrage of kicks.”What.” The brutal barrage continued, dirt from the floor was starting to become kicked up in the fury of the action that she was conjuring from the stomping. ”Did.”If the boy was hoping for a quick and merciless ending to this senseless brutality then he clearly didn’t know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a woman poked with a needle without her consent or knowledge. ”You.This would not be over quick, and this would not be painless if she had her way. The dust was starting to get thick now, thick with the plume of revenge! ’Put.”Umbra didn’t show any signs of letting up at this time, she seemed more than content to make sure to get her point across with the harshest way that she could perform considering the circumstances. ”In.Umbra seemed to have started to pick up her momentum at this point with her ‘assault’ she had no idea if these were actually hitting or not, and she was at the point where she really didn’t care either. It was a law: what goes in motion, stays in motion… besides, the thought of kicking the crap out of some nob who poked her in the neck was the closest thing that she could consider fun.”My.If it wasn’t obvious by now, Umbra had no idea that Senri had anything to do with this corpse puppet, having met the girl for no more than five minutes she really didn’t get a good feeling for her, the eyes of the mask didn’t really register, Umbra was more focused on that throbbing pain that was in her neck.”Body?”After a new more stomps in the general direction of the gas-mask wearing boy Umbra finally pulled her leg back and let the numbness of her limb fade away. She did nothing but watch as the dust settled with that stoic mask on her face, awaiting her answer. Which should be right away, she didn’t care if he wrote it in his own blood on the floor she was getting her answer after this.
"Let no evil deed go unrewarded."

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
Koto had long since returned to his quiet corner of the room to continue meditating and developing his new defense technique. Using both his tenketsu manipulation technique and his sharingan had proven too costly in terms of his chakra and stamina...he needed to devise a way to use this technique in short bursts. He thought about using another defensive technique as a base rather than inventing one from scratch.
….That could work.... he thought to himself. he could use the base defense a few time to let the enemy think he was falling into a pattern of some sort. Once they were lulled into a false sense of security they’d make another attack and he could use this to repel said attack...yes that could put him in a proper position to counter attack...but the defense itself it would have to be impeccable...he would have to be impeccable in his execution.
This boiled down to his own reaction time. It needed to be perfect for this defense to be effective he need to be able to respond to attacks significantly faster than he could dodge normally... That’s where his newly awakened sharingan would come in... he would be able to see and process his opponents techniques far more easily now. That would give him the edge he needed for this counter technique.
He thought about Dragon’s Calm...but that required recieving and blocking the attack directly and the using the transferred kinetic energy to shift one’s position.it would only work in close combat with weapons... this need to be a counter for hand to hand, weapons, and for dodging long range attacks as well.
As he sat and meditated a curious commotion gained his attention...from what he could see, Haruki was sexually assaulting a boy he didn’t know and whom Umbra was now trying to demolish with a barrage of very impressive kicks...it was like the kicks themselves had formed a wall of motion that at the very least would prevent a counter attack from the front....
That was when it dawned on him... creating a wall of sorts around him when he could quickly defend from any angle. He already had a similar move called “Dragon whips its tail” in which he used superior flexibility to block attacks from behind and at other awkward angles. This would be similar except it would use his tenketsu augmentation technique, “Dragon’s soul reborn”, in combination with his sharingan.
The defense movements would be easy the real challenge would be finding the right balance of chakra to use. Too much and he would run out of chakra before the attack could be defended against. Too little and his reactions and movements wouldn’t be augmented enough to counter the potential threat to his life. Koto needed to find just the right amount to use at a given time.
First he focused on quickly activating and deactivating his sharingan in order to become used to it. At first the strain was getting to him...his eyes began to ache and he felt as though he would pass out even though his eyes remained close as he focused. Soon he was able to activate them several times in less than a fraction of a second. This would come in handy in general as he’d be able to conserve chakra by activating his sharingan only in the moments he needed to use his kekkei genkai. Being able to quickly activate his sharingan meant he could conceal its existence from enemies while still using it in combat. He’d have to keep that in mind when fighting people who didn’t know he’d unlocked it yet.
Once he had reach a level of comfort with the activation of his sharingan. He decided to once again practice the opening and closing of his tenketsu. He focused his mind and began opening and closing them in groups. He started at his head and then did each arm separately. Next he did his arms simultaneously and then his legs one at a time. After opening and closing the tenketsu in his legs all at once he focused on his torso. First his upper torso and then his core. Finally he did them all of the tenketsu in his torso all at once. Anyone with sensor abilities would notice the various fluctuations in his chakra, not because of the speed or intensity but because it was a well known fact among his teammates that Koto could not perform ninjutsu or genjutsu. Once he had practiced opening and closing his tenketsu the various separate areas of his body, he began to do so to all of his tenketsu at once. over and over until he was sure he be able to match the activation speed of his sharingan. Once he was satisfied with the results of this exercise he moved on to the most important part of his training... Combining them together.
First he began alternating their activation. First he activated the sharingan and then the tenketsu were activated. He repeated this over and over. After doing this about ten times he reversed the order. First the tenketsu were activated and then the sharingan. Soon the activations began to overlap. Bit by bit he was finding balance in his timing. Ather his tenth switch he was able to activate them in unison. The strain, however, was immense and he knew he could only maintain this state for a few precious moments or risk draining his chakra completely in one shot.
To mitigate this he practiced controlling the rate at which his tenketsu released the chakra to by him more time, he intended for it to be a slow release of chakra once the tenketsu were opened and then a spike at the moment of the counter or parry. in his minds eye he watched his body fall into a defensive stance and with a calm focus an imaginary poe attacked. at that moment he activated his sharingan while opening his tenketsu and the movements of his enemy seemed to slow. He was able to parry the attack and move around his opponents body like a dragon dancing on the wind. It was in this way that “Kazeryuu no mai” was born...
The wind dragon’s Dance...
(Training: Dragon's control of the air sphere Wind Dragon's Dance Brank - 2000 - 25% =1500/513 +1047 = 1560 COMPLETE!)
With that he stood up and stretched...he could only imagine what would come of the altercation between this new boy and Umbra... he hoped the jounin in the would step in before it got out of hand... then he remembered Takeo and Sessouresu's..."altercation"...this was going to be a long exam...
