Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yamoto laid in the pasture watching the star in the sky. "Night training session are rather rare. This should be enjoyable." The captain sighed in content at his surroundings. "This is relaxing."

"A pleasure to meet you. Now shall we get started." Yamoto stood up and walked a few away from the shinigami. "You ready for this." The first kido you will learn is Bakudo 21. The key to spell is the build up and release. Yamoto drew his hand back in position so that the only direction it could go was down. He then began to build up reiatsu in his hand to the point where it was visible. The fun thing about the spell is there is hardly any reiatsu control involved seeing as it is used for quick escapes. Yamoto thrusted his hand towards the ground. The final key is to release the reiatsu before the hand touches the ground so you get this affect. Bakudo 21. Red-Smoke Escape." A large cloud of red smoke suddenly erupted around Yamoto making him completly undetectable by the eye. A few seconds later Yamoto walked out of the cloud coughing a little. "Final thing make sure to hold your breath."

"You catch on fast." Yamoto smiled as he began to enjoy the night time spectacle more. "The next kido is for the sole purpose of hiding or stealth. It is activated by forming a film of reiatsu around your body almost making a second layer of skin. As you know reiatsu has the power to manipulate natural entities. We normally see this when the ground breaks under us by an extreme build up of reiatsu. This kido uses natural light to make one completely invisible."

Yamoto breathed in and closed his eyes. "The amount of reiatsu is key in this spell because not only does this spell hide you physically, but it also hides your spiritual pressure. If you have to much reiatsu in the second skin you do get the second effect of the spell and stronger foes will know you are in the area. If that happens being physical invisible is useless." The captain began to emit reiatsu almost out of every pore. Yamoto was soon encased in a small film of reiatsu that covered the shinigami entire body. The captain smiled as he could fell the light from the sun being pulled towards by the reiatsu around him. "Bakudo 26. Curved Light." Yamoto completely disappeared from the area for a good 10 seconds. He reappeared behind his squad member with his fingers to Leroto 's neck. "I have a feeling you are going to have fun with this one, but use it on the enemy our just no one in our squad."

"Good now for another bakudo spell." Yamoto sighed as pointed to the wall behind them. "Unfortunatly this spell is only effective if the spell makes contact with something solid. So it is useless in a field battle with no large trees or boulder around." Yamoto breathed in as he held up his hand. The hand began to glow with yellow reiatsu. "The key to this kido is to draw an inverted triangle in the air with reiatsu focusing most of the reiatsu at each tip." Yamoto swiped his hand through the air leaving behing a golden upside down triangle. The corners of the triangle seemed to glow far brighter then the bases. "Now the next step in push the reiatsu towards the intended object of binding." Yamoto focused for a moment as the tips of the triangle began to change shape becoming long narrow beaks or arrows. "Finally, Bakudo 30. Beak-Piercing Triple Beam" The three arrows or beaks shot toward the wall and made contact. The wall's wood cracked showing that the spell was designed to hold someone against the wall. "Your turn."

He decided to practice while he waited for the answer. Turning away from Yamato he once again called upon the reserves of energy stored within him and started to focus it at the tip of his finger. This time he visualized the arrows with his eyes open, watching them come to life as his index finger moved over each of them in turn. The triangle he created this time was a great deal smaller then the one previously made, each side of the shape no more then three inches long. The intensity of the light was almost like looking into a sun. 'Damn these things get bright...' "Bakudo # 30, Beak-Piercing Triple Beam." His words came out hushed, as though he were speaking in a strict library, but as the triangle flew forward it created a slight whistling sound and an even louder noise as the wood cracked. There were deep indentations in the wood that created a perfect outline of the kido, crossing spider webbed lines reaching outwards and perfectly straight lines reaching into the exact middle. "Ouch..."

"Well, it seems as though I have that one down pretty well. What now, El Capitan?" He asked, looking up into the night sky. The souls had slowed down, leaving just a hint of color over the water. 'I wonder what the lot of them are doing right about now...' He pondered, thinking back to both his own family, and the people he had stayed with for the short time before being admitted to the shinigami academy. 'Now that I think of it... I wonder what Zaine's been up to. I haven't seen his a** around here that much either. I'll have to make it a point to go visit him when I'm done.'

Lerato nodded, mind swarming with a plethora of new questions that he wanted to ask, walking about ten meters or so away from the white haired man. 'Only in the lowest levels of kido, eh. I wonder just how well he could use double casting.' He let his mind wander as he prepared for the net-like spell. 'Imagine how powerful someone would be if they were able to combine high level spells.' Looking over his shoulder at the Captain he wondered just how much the man hid from the rest of the Sereitei. "One day... One day, you'll be able to look back and say you taught one of the few people to be able to use double casting of high level kido." He whispered the promise to himself. Even to him it sounded outlandish. Looking back he realized he had forgotten about his spell and the five point were now illuminating the area with a bright blue glow. "s**t!" Without a second though he split he concentration into two more focus point and let the power of the spell split between them until it fizzled out, unable to remain stable. "That could have been bad." He flashed back to a time when he was first learning the basic kido that every shinigami were taught and remembered just how disastrous a spell could be if you overwhelmed it. 'Get your head in the game, Lerato.'

Rolling his shoulders he singled out his five original anchors again. Raising his hand above him he saw what was to become a sheet of tangible energy which slowly hooked itself to the anchors provided. "Bakudo # 37, Suspending Star." Upon speaking the incantation the edges of the sheet connected with the anchors and started to droop ever so slightly. "That's better." A smile lifted the edges of his lips until his face had achieved an almost boy-ish look to it.

The captain laughed at the question. "You sure are interested with double casting, but to answer your question I can cast up to low 70's. It takes a skilled kido user to learn how to double cast, to the point of one must be proficient in kido up to level 60 before advance kido techniques such as double casting or silent casting can be even considered. So time wise it all depends on how fast you can master spells which varies from person to person."

Yamoto took a deep breath and slowly let it out just to become focused once again. "Now I want you to memorize what I am about to say. Ye lord. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man. Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south. Hado 31. Shot of Red Fire." A red ball of energy, about the size of a tennis ball, formed in front of Yamoto's hand. In less than a second the kido spell fired from the captain's hand and flew at it's intended target which was a tree. The spell collided with the target causing an explosion of heat and spiritual energy. The smoke cleared in a matter of moments after that explosion had occured. "Guess I overdid it a little." Yamoto frowned as he had only meant to cause a small hole in the tree. Instead he had caused most of the tree to disappear." All right pick a tree adjust your reiatsu accordingly so that you cause the tree to look like the one I just hit, but mind you try to minimize the amount of reiatsu you use or it might be bad for you.
