Welcome to Gaia! ::

The captain had perched himself on top of the tallest building in the city. "If humans keep things up soon most of the city will look like this." The captain sighed as he looked below him to check on if Lerato had noticed him yet. The young shinigami was sitting on a lower rooftop then Yamoto, and normally would be able to feel the captain presence, but the captain had lowered his spiritual pressure to almost nothing as to not disturb the natural serenity of his surroundings. "Still nothing ehh. Well we increase his reiatsu detection skills later, but for now I guess it is time to train." Yamoto stood up and yawned a little. "Damn reports keeping me up till god hours of the night."

Yamoto leapt of the building and fell to level of where Lerato was at. "You know instead of worrying about pigeons you should focus on detecting reiatsu signatures, but more of that later." Yamoto looked around to see what he could use for target. "Well damn I thought there at least be something. but I guess not. Good thing I thought ahead. Hikari Geeto. (Light Gate) A rather large circle of light appeared in front of the captain and to which the captain immediately stepped into disappearing from the area. After a few moment several wooden dummy came flying out of the gate and soon followed Yamoto. "I should do that more often, it would clear up my office in no time." The captain began to set up each dummy one at a time a very great distance from one another. "Now than shall we begin?"

"Alright Bakudo 61, one of my personal favorites. The key to this spell is reiatsu concentration, you have to focus your reiatsu in six different places at once and each place is rather far away from you. I'll demonstrate one rod at a time." Yamoto held up his right finger and pointed it towards the right of the dummy. Almost instantly you could see visible reiatsu in the air. Yamoto continued to do this until there were six reiatsu rods surrounding the target. "Now this technique would be useless if you had to do it this slow, but unfortunately that is how you have to learn. ""Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six. Bakudo 61. Six Rods Prison of Light."

As soon as Yamoto said the incantation the reiatsu surrounding the dummy glowed a bright yellow and almost instantly slammed into the wooden figure. "If they get trapped in this, it is over."

Once the wind had blown away the smoke the two men could set eyes upon the target and observe the damage that had been done to it. Slightly charred on the outside it appeared to be fine for the most part, a few spots having splintered by the force of the explosion. Rolling his eyes he readied his stance once again, this time raising his finger just as the Captain had instructed him to do. Starting again he concentrated on six more points, and then pointed to each of them in turn; top left, bottom right, middle left, middle right, bottom left to top right. The way that he moved his finger made it look like he was drawing a giant six-pointed star in the air. Once he had conjured all six beams of opaque light he let them fade away, dropping his finger. Closing his eyes he let the image remain in his head, picturing the outcome he wanted. Then, one by one, they came back. Fade and emerge, fade and emerge; he made it almost like a game until he was able to bring them to life and keep them stable within only a few seconds. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six. Bakudo #61, Six Rods Prison of Light." The yellow energy solidified once more, much more stable then the first time around. A loud crack sounded as the wood of the dummy split down the middle in two spots.

"So these six beams of light are supposed to incapacitate someone, eh? Seems like they'd just give you a nasty gut ache." He laughed, thinking about how unsuspecting some of the kido were. To think that six beams of energy could keep someone's entire body from moving was both strange and invigorating. "Hey Captain Shiboo, have you ever used this on someone who tried to interrupt a dance of yours?" He laughed, imagining the man trapping his competition before they had a chance to move on his woman.

Lerato beamed, teeth flashing in the sun as he listened to the compliment. 'A strong suit? I guess so.' The more he thought on the matter the more he realized that he had indeed been getting better at controlling his reiatsu. "I wouldn't really call it a strong point yet.." Lerato had an idea as he watched the rods Yamoto had created plunge into the dummy and the wall behind it. 'I wonder...' Holding his left hand out in front of him he concentrated on a four foot line just under his palm. A second after his reiatsu peaked, a light blue-ish hexagon shaped rod solidified. "It's so light." Spinning the rod around like a miniature staff he chuckled. After a few minutes of spinning the spell around he stopped and turned towards another dummy. "Alright, I think I'm ready." Rolling his shoulders back he split his stance. "Have you ever thought that maybe these spells influenced the formation of sports? Just look at the similarities between some of them. Abolishing Flames and discus, Hundred Steps Fence and the javelin. There has to be some sort of relation."

"Bakudo #62, Hundred Steps Fence." Taking a hop and a step the rod was sent flying forward like a bullet from a gun before splitting into twenty identical rods. The resulting noise reminded him of hail the size of baseballs raining down upon the earth. Looking up he smiled, mentally patting himself on the back. "I guess five out of twenty isn't that bad." He looked between his teacher and the dummy that would have now been ensnared had it been alive. A few seconds later another 'thunk' sounded and the wooden figure which had been wobbling finally fell to the ground. "I think we need a bit more power though..." He laughed, readying him self for the next onslaught of power that would cascade through his body.

"Excellent work, now it is time for the next kido. This kido should be fairly easy master as it only an enhanced version of bakudo 4." Yamoto pointed to a dummy that was quite close to them. You must focus your reiatsu around the dummy arms and chest area. Once you do that the spell will work." Yamoto smiled as his eyes concentrated on the wooden structure in front of him. The captain formed his reiatsu in a cylinder shape around the dummy and began to strengthen the reiatsu. "Bakudo 63 Locking Bondage Stripes." The chains of reiatsu suddenly began to wrap around the dummy locking what would be his arm to the side of his chest. "Alright well that is the basics of it , now you try."

Yamoto looked for the nearest wooden dummy around and soon found it. "Ah there you area." The captain pointed his right hand at the dummy and supported his wrist with his left hand. "Remember to support what ever wrist you are firing with when it comes to this kido and some others." Yamoto began to build up reiatsu in his right hand, soon the reiatsu could be could be physically seen by anyone in the area. "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle. Hado 63. Thunder Roar Cannon." The spell exploded out of Yamoto hand rocketing towards the intended target. The massive wave of yellow energy engulfed the wooden dummy completely destroying it. "Alright your turn."
