Complex :: Rank B After breaking through an opponent's defense, typically via a parry, the user will deliver a powerful chakra-enhanced elbow strike to their head or sternum. As the elbow makes contact with the target, the built up chakra will be dispersed all at once- rushing to certain muscles to momentarily disrupt them. For a short amount of time, the opponent will then be unable to move their limbs, no matter what signals the brain gives to them.
Simple :: Rank B While assaulting a blocking enemy, the user will attempt to outreach and grasp their arm. If successful, the user will then pull in the enemy's arm, while kicking outward with incredible force. Because of the contradiction of motions, this can easily break arms or disarm the target.
Practice :: Rank B The practitioner, already frequented by many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers.
Practice :: Rank B The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision- able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip.
Piercing Technique: What Defense? (1) Theodore walked in and sighed hating he was back here. Stretching he popped his back and created a clone of him self, nodding at the clone the clone nodded at him. Pulling out his dagger he spun it, the clone breathed heavily and ready for what was to come. The clone ran at him, Theodore jumped to the side dodging, the clone slid and down sliced at him, Theodore flipping the other direction to his side. he sliced at the clone, the clone dodged and spun out of the way.
(2) The clone jabbed at Theodore. Theodore side stepped, his hand firmly grabbing the clones hand. Rearing back his foot slammed into his clones hand. The dagger flew and the clone felt his wrist pop as it sent him flying back onto his back smacking his head on the ground as he drooled. Waiting a few Minutes the clone got back up and rubbed his wrist, thankfully it wasn't broken it just had popped like one does with his fingers as he picked up the dagger that fell.
Disrupting Technique: Tingling Elbow
(1) Theodore spun his dagger, the clone ran at him. Smacking the dagger of his to the side theodore closed his eyes, chakra began to rush to his elbow. Eyes gripping close he spun to the side, slowly he let the chakra rush around his elbow none stop moving constantly as he grew a large amount into his elbow. Rising up his elbow he continued the concentration.
(2) Taking a deep breath it felt like everything around him slowed down. His body felt the breeze, his eyes began to slowly open. The blood rushing through his body his eyes glistened. Oh how he wish he had these moves, this training back then. His friends would have lived, his friend's wouldn't have committed suicide, his friends wouldn't have been sacrificed
(3) Bring the elbow up his hands wrapped around his wrist. His feet slid out his left foot bent. His body twisted and his eyes narrowed down. The elbow tingled and the chakra began to exceed from it as he let out a battle cry roar in excitement. (4) sending the elbow to the head the chakra released, the chakra all at once. The chakra exploded out striking the clones head as the chakras cut the nerves for a second. The clone tried moving but couldn't as he petted his head softly and waited for the clone to go to normal as he stretched the nodded smiling.
Trick Style: Retreating Feet
(1) bending back he began to run quickly, his feet rising off the ground and landing solidly as it was thud after thud, running around teh clone the clone slashed and cut at him. Growing faster his hands began to step on his toes as he ran around on the edge of his toes as he moved faster. The clone slashed faster and faster angrier.
(2) as Theodore slid to the side he leaped up and over the clone running around him., the clone stuck his foot out to trip theo, theo leaped over it as he slid and ran faster around him Theodore smacked his clone in the face to distract him and ran up behind him slowly going to stab him and stop a inch from the back as he laughed and the clone breathed heavily from nervousness.
Trick Style: Blade's Edge (1) Braking the clone he panted being hit by all the pain and weakness at once. Stretching up to the ceiling he took out a dagger, tossing it a few times catching it by the handle he took a large breath in. Throwing the Dagger up it came down slicing his hand open as he winched in pain. The dagger smashed into the ground as he held his hand tightly, removing his over shirt he wrapped his hand up and tried it again.
(2) Tossing up the Dagger again he cant the blade, smiling he tossed it up catching it a few times. Using his bad hand he began to juggle his two daggers as he smiled happily trying to keep one of the daggers up in the air, "haha..im doing it!" He shouted excitedly as he finally stopped juggling feeling accomplished.
While unsettling, Alphonse would not let the recent death interfere with his training. He entered the dojo, took a few scrolls and unsheathed his sword.
Alphonse would start with the basics of fighting rapier. Holding a defensive stance, he would practice thrusting from different angles. Each thrust was not very powerful, but it would prove devastating if he hit the correct spot. [1/1 Thrust]
Continuing to thrust, Alphonse would switch directions occasionally. By stepping back with his front foot, he would turn his sword in the opposite direction. He would then thrust, as if taking on an opponent behind him as well. [1/1 Backwards Thrust]
Now having added a second move into the mix, Alphonse then added yet another move in. Every now and then he would swipe upwards with the flat side of his blade. He continued to keep a defensive stance through all of these motions. [1/1 Fly Swatter]
One last move to add to the combo, he would then sidestep and bring the hilt of the rapier up, and the point down and to his side. During acutal combat, he would pair that block with a counter, slicing his opponent's side as he moves past them. [1/1 Sideward Parry]
Alphonse would now switch the fly swatter in the combo for a bladed version, right out of a stab. Continuing to practice his arm would grow tired. He would then take a moment to rest before moving on to more physical activity. [1/1 "i" Strike]
During his break Alphonse would not stop learning. He gripped his rapier and began channeling different elements into it. He continued until each element could easily be channeled. [1/1 Elemental Charge]
After some time meditating on what he'd learned, Alphonse would then start thrusting again with his rapier. This time, however, he would pair up 2 thrusts, and try to throw them out as quickly as he could. He would waste no movement. [1/1 Dual-Pierce]
In between each pair of thrusts, Alphonse would bring his sword up. This would block incoming projectiles. His training was beginning to seem a bit tedious, yet he kept on going with it, to perfect his art. [1/1 Deflection]
Although not meant for rapier, Alphonse felt that some of the next style would be helpful to learn. He would hold his rapier above his head, and start swinging it downwards. He practiced with only one hand because he would likely every need one to wield his rapier. [1/1 Basic Chop]
Alphonse would now start thrusting, except he'd add a little something extra to it. He'd step forward right before he would thrust. This would add a little power from momentum to his strikes. [1/1 Forward Step]
After a few repetitions of that, the next technique to learn would have him going in the opposite direction. Instead of stepping forwards, he would step backwards. He would then add in the step forwards and thrust. [1/1 Backward Step]
Alphonse would then be reminded what he was practicing earlier. His thrusts did not really need to be practiced more, though. going over the technique in his head he'd move on to the next one. [1/1 Basic Stab]
While not entirely needed for his fighting style, Alphonse could use the training anyways. Practicing blocking with his rapier, he'd focus more on moving his rapier as if it were a longsword. It felt weird, using his rapier like this, but he still performed exquisitely. [1/1 Basic Block]
After he finished training his blocking, Alphonse would put away the scrolls, then sheath his weapon. Looking around he would see the kid from earlier at the Mizukage's office in the room, training. Alphonse would walk up to him and greet him. "Hello there. May I ask if you'd like to have a spar? Or perhaps we could help each other train?"

Holding his hand he looked over at the boy who was talking to him, taking his shirt off his hand showing a dried blood wound he wrapped the overshirt around his waist. "hmmm, a spar.." he repeated rubbing his chin, "well, with the chuunin exams starting up soon, maybe we should train first." he offered to the man with a smile as he held out his good hand. "Names Theodore, " he said with a smile across his face.
With Yaiba having been caught off guard by the fire pillar that engulfed everyone that had taken part in the battle, and Shou carrying Sora out of the flaming pillar, Shou and Sora proved their worth, although in a way not very expected. Shou looked towards Yaiba for a moment and sighed. "I understand you need to find a team, but Sora and I will be fine on our own for now." He said, as he would look towards Sora, whom was still in his arms before putting her down and patting her on the head. "You did well, we will indeed make a great team someday." He then looked around the Dojo before taking off.

"Theodore, eh? Heh, good name." Theodore held out his hand and Alphonse sheathed his sword. Grasping the boy's hand, Alphonse would give it a good shake. "Alphonse.", he said, returning a smile back at his new friend. "It appears you use daggers. I'm not well informed how to use them, but perhaps I could help in another way?"

Sorry it took so long, forgot for a bit and was procrastinating too. XD

Turning his back he showed a great sword on his back, "I just bought this great sword but haven't had a chance to really use it." he said smiling. Sticking his daggers in the two sheaths on his right hip he smiled and popped his neck. "Well, we could practice moves. I know no techniques with the great sword but I know of techniques that we can use." he said smiling and giving him a thumbs up.
Something suddenly struck Theodore, "Oh god!! I need a squad for the chuunin exams!" He shouted and ran past Alphonse in excitment as he slid and stopped, "Alphone," he said misspronouncing the name. "I need to go get a squad, just, please don't be mad we can fight or train when I finish if your still here!" He said and took off running with excitement.
Returning to the village, Makoto parted ways with Natsu and Jaice, wanting to get some personal training done. At last, she finally made her way to the dojo, the girl making a beeline for the scrolls on the wall. There was a style she was eager to learn but since it was from another village... "Aha! Here it is" she grinned, yanking the Konohagakure Taijutsu scroll off the shelf. With a flick of her wrist, the scroll snapped open to reveal its contents to her. "Huh. This looks pretty simple. Alright, let's do this."
Makoto set up a dummy to pratice with before stretching out. The first move was a simple flying kick; too easy. The kunoichi backed up for a running start, keeping in line with the dummy. She took off into a sprint, leaped with a leg outstretched and delivered a kick to the chest. Next was a quick barrage of attacks to her opponent. Again she backed up and leaped into the air, delivering a barrage of kicks aimed at the head. It was tricky, but she managed to use each hit to keep her in the air a little longer. As for the following technique, she required toothpicks to do. It seemed the dojo kept some in stock just for this purpose. Placing one in her mouth, she took aim at the dummy and began practicing her spitting. With enough force, they actually pierced it much to the girl's liking. She wasn't about to walk around chewing toothpicks just to have a sneak attack but it was still a useful skill to have. ((Learned - Dainamikku-Entori [ Dynamic Entry ], Dainamikku-Akushon [ Dynamic Action ] and Youjitsuba [ Spitting Toothpick ] STAGE 1 COMPLETE))
With on stage of the style down, Makoto took a good look at the next and felt her eyes widen. Why was there so many techniques? This would take her some time to complete so she decided to take a short break from it. Instead she'd focus on some other training she needed to work on. Like getting stronger- physically that is. The kunoichi headed for the weights section of the dojo where she was provided a wide range of machines to use.
Makoto started by finding the weight she was most comfortable lifting. Not too heavy and not too light; just a little over what was comfortable. Once she found the right weight, she could begin her workout. ((Learned - Strength Training [Genin] ))
Before Alphonse could say anything to the boy in front of him, he darted off, saying something about the upcoming chuunin exams. Taking a scroll for his bukijutsu in hand, Alphonse figured he should get ready for said exams before he would enter himself. Reading the scroll he would immediately grasp a techniques usage, and felt that practice for the technique was more from experience, than training. [1/1 Deflection]
Alphonse read the next few techniques over. He then began charging chakra in his legs, something that did not seem to be too hard, even during a battle. He would then use the chakra in his legs to leap a great height into the air. [1/2]
As he fell he would then charge his rapier with chakra. Before landing, alphonse would thrust his weapon forward. This wold let out a shockwave before he slammed on the ground, ready for his next technique. [2/2 First Falling Star]
For the next technique, Alphonse would start with a Dual Pierce. The reason being this technique would mimic the former. This one would increase the striking speed, though. [1/2]
Charging up chakra in his weapon Alphonse would use Dual Pierce again. This time his overall agility would increase though. Alphonse used the technique once more just to get the hang of it. [2/2 Charged Star's Fury]
Next Alphonse would charge his weapon with fire chakra. Slamming it into the ground he would find himself surrounded by a sea of flames. They emanated from where he struck the ground, barely not striking him as well. [1/2]
Alphonse would then try the technique out with each of his other three elements. Lightning sent a current of electricity along the ground, water created a tidal wave, and wind created slicing blades of air. Luckily there wasnt anybody nearby him, as the technique would've hit someone if there was. [2/2 Star's Exploding Anger]
Having finished that set of techniques, Alphonse took a small break. He read over the next few techniques in that time, making sure he grasped their concept. Once his break was over he began to charge chakra into his blade. [1/4]
With as much speed as he could muster, Alphonse rushed across the room. He would sprint at one of the practice dummies next to the wall of the dojo.Concentrating, he would spring his attack once he reached the dummy. [2/4]
Alphonse started a flurry of piercing strikes. Each strike seemed random, targeting a different part of the dummy each time. He continued to stab at the training dummy for as long as the chakra would not run out. [3/4]
White light would be seen as he continued his attack. It was as if a shower of meteors were descended on the dummy. Upon finishing his feat of speed and agility, he would look at the dummy's damage, wood splintering and holes everywhere. [4/4 Star's Overwhelming Fury]
Alphonse would look look back at the scroll again. His next technique would have him destroying armor. There was no armor around however so he instead chose to use the dummy again. [1/4]
Alphonse just stood next to the dummy, staring straight at it. He got into his battle stance, aligning his shoulders and feet correctly. He kept his dominant foor forwards. [2/4]
His eyes glazed over the dummy's exterior, finding the weakest point in the wooden surface. He brought his rapier up in front of him. His stance seemed almost natural to him at this point. [3/4]
Finally ready to unleash his attack, he charged his rapier with chakra. Slamming the point into the dummy, it exploded. Slinters and wooden shrapnel were sent flying, away from the point where it was stricken. [4/4 Guard Breaker]
Alphonse would clean up his mess, then take a look at the final technique for the style. This technique did not seem to be a technique, though. Rather, it looked like it was training, for balance rather than something more offensive. [1/4]
He would start using the techniques he learned recently, just to get them down. He would change directions every now and then just to keep himself from getting used to one direction of training. This would continue for quite some time. [2/4]
Alphonse would now sheathe his weapon. Next, he would start doing flips off of the walls and in the middle of the room. This was to increase his ablity to move around properly in the air. [3/4]
Finally, Alphonse would stand on one foot, helping himself with his ability to balance while on the ground. He would switch feet every now and then, so as to even the training between both legs. After finishing his training, Alphonse would put away the scroll and take a good long rest, before heading for the academy. [4/4 Unwavering Balance]
