A small bird landed on the window sill with a piece of paper tied around it's leg. It's small beak tapped on the window, wanting to be let in. The paper had the signature of B. Karna on the outside. If opened, it held a message of T.S.
I am tracking the Yonbi and will be engaging it around the Ginmizu falls. If this find you, and you are so inclined, I ask you to join me.

Takumi would pause his training session as the blue haired Kagami approached. She seemed somewhat concerned. He would give her complete attention as he turned. A somewhat familiar messanger bird would appear at the window, pecking on the glass. ' Belamos?' he thought before opening the window and speaking. " Proceed then. " he said, reading the letter. An invite to take down a powerful beast was not such a grand use of his time. But....perhaps reconnecting with Belamos was a very valuable thing. He would let Kagami's conversation take priority over this event. Impossible that such a battle would pend on the time of a few days at least.

__ Kagami was confused and moderately annoyed by being interrupted by a damn bird, but would continue. "Taylor is a lost cause. I was alerted by our agents that he showed up in the Kogarashi Marketplace with the same Uzu villager that he was with before, I think his name was Masamune or something." Kagami tapped her chin and could not put a finger on it, but Masamune sounded right. How could she be expected to remember names after that kind of confrontation? "Whatever, so they were being attacked by our confused agents and some others from the Land of Wind. I helped them out with the Land of Wind goons, ordered our agents to standby, and then Muramasa started trying to play the tough guy when I clearly saved his a**. I told him that I wanted him to leave and take Taylor back to the Institute with me. Then Taylor brandished some kind of lightning sword and his weird tattoo thing showed up on his face telling me not to threaten his 'friend' of sorts. After that, they both got out of there with this kind of wormhole thing. After that, I killed all of the Land of Wind agents and came back here." This was a very strange story for Kagami to recount and she recognized that. Her tone was one of general annoyance and venting. Now she would wait for Takumi to absorb the information and respond.

The Kogarashi leader stood in silence as Kagami began to explode with details on a confrontation. Her demeanor seemed cracked, seemingly losing her cool in the moment. He was sure that the situation had her on edge if she felt it nessesary to report back in. He sighed, knowing that while the boy had a great power to be harnessed, she was right. " Agreed." He said, shaking his head in disappointment. " Taylor proved to be a failed investment. Nothing ventured, nothing gained however." he said, thinking of what came next. " The boy is a danger. If he has defected with Uzu we'll soon receive a visit from their village. I suggest we lay our survaliance teams out within the city and make any preperations we can. Send a team to gather intelligence on this Masamune."
A slight pause would occur as he pondered how he could stay several steps ahead of Uzushiogakure. Suddenly, an inspirational muse blessed him. " Find anything that belonged to Taylor. A weapon. I can turn the attention away from Kogarashi altogether with ease." Takumi grinned, pleased with his idea. The prisoner they had taken hostage would not be used to gain leverage on Arashigakure as intended. No. He would be used to pit the Land of Wind against Uzushiogakure. If that were to fail, the village would still turn on Taylor, keeping him from ever instilling information he had learned to minds who would believe him.

__ The enchantress was relieved that Takumi finally agreed with her that Taylor was a waste of their energy to keep in their ranks. Her annoyed demeanor immediately changed to cool and reserved in an instance. "Where would I find Taylor's weapon? What are you planning?" She asked with suspicion as she considered the possibilities. Honestly, as long as the method was effective for their purposes then she would be glad to help. "I also wanted to inform you that I am the host of the three-tailed demon, Isobu. I'm also proud to report that I've mastered all of its abilities as a perfect jinchuuriki." Kagami supposed that he had already witnessed her first transformation and would have questions about it. The truth was that Kagami had access to incredible power which would behoove Kogarashi to employ.

A fist only carries the weight of the body behind it, and the body can only direct it's force efficiently through the fist. Principles of combat that had been, at one time taught to her by the late Mugen had stuck with her even now, and the basics did indeed tend to stack up. As she practiced she kept watch over herself and her bodies via their shared view. Anyone else might have wanted to conceal the doujutsu shared between them, but Falsa didn't care. In fact, as she crushed mannequin after mannequin, each of her thralls following her motions, she assumed that anyone watching would find the sight quite intimidating. Insofar as she was concerned, they could be desynched and this would still look just as scary. Fist, feet... stances and body movements. It all made her look quite intimidating in truth. As she decided which of the many existing styles that she would learn, the other continued to work on basics, working out their bodies at her behest as her mind multitasked all the personalities and bits of her own emotion that had been forced out and shared among them. They all had to have the upmost of toned bodies, not that they didn't already but as the fatigue creeped in she realized all of them had different levels of it. As a result she put them through their paces as the facsimile of life held up and she practiced more specifics. With every passing hour, every ten minute break or so, she was sure to read again. Four eyes, four scrolls, one linked understanding based upon herself. Proper stretching, a rewarming, and them back into it again, once more unto the breach. She had gotten along on virtue of natural talent for long enough, and that luck was sure to eventually run out if she didn't keep it up. Sooner than later, she had come to a position where she had tired herself out just a bit, and as a result would be retiring. She put her body through a lot when she trained, and as a result she had become the fearsome fighter that formal training wouldve turned her into. As if there was ever a chance that she wouldn't have become that.[Mastered Be Water My Friends to Stage Five, Tame Za Kyoudo To Five, Jiyuugata Senpu to stage five, Stage one and the first four techs of Konoha Tai]
Takumi's cynical smile broke from ear to ear as Kagami prodded at his designs. Even more exciting was that she had mastered her abilities, becoming an even greater force for their cause. " In the combat yard behind the building. He forged a sword of bone and abandoned it. " He smirked, ever pleased with his plans. " Once Taylor is officially accepted as a shinobi of Uzushiogakure, I will disgise myself as the boy with a transformation technique and kill the Daimyo's son with Taylor's own blade before several witnesses to report back to the Uzukage." He would nod, assuring himself his plan was well put together. "We can then send word to the Land of Wind of the Uzu ninja slaying their heir. It won't take long for the villages to go to war. Uzugakure is not likely to move against us for some time while Taylor is most likely put to death. The Land of Wind will have their resources sent out and we can freely intercept them without recourse."

__ Brows furrowed from her annoyance of Takumi not acknowledging her power. She understood what her task was and what he was planning against Taylor. She knew that it had to be done, Taylor's loyalties were flimsy from the start so who knows what secrets he might tell. She was not entirely focused on the mission right now and would speak proudly in the silence. "Do you understand what I just said? The beast that powered the Sero, the whole of an entire great village, is now in me. Why would we need a village when I have that kind of power?" The arrogant woman asked rhetorically with a stare of cold contempt. "I am the Sero." Kagami knew that Takumi was from Kirigakure and would understand her meaning. She would not retrieve the bone sword until Takumi properly acknowledge who it was he was talking to.

Kagami's displeased demeanor and attitude would lead to an outburst. Takumi raised a brow. He had assumed her confident, but she was proud as well. Proud of her prowess as a shinobi. The quickness of her abilities progression had instilled even more pride upon herself. " Yes. I understand that. The Sero beast was indeed a powerful entity..." he said, pulling his Yukata sleeve upward to reveal a tattoo that resembled a seal upon his forearm. It was small and dark blue in color. It seemed to have faded over the years but now, in the presence of Kagami it gave off a neon decadent glow. " I had my suspicions when we met, the mark began to pulsate with chakra." he sighed, concealing it once again. His eyes shifting sharply to Kagami. " Do not assume I do not grasp the depth of your power. Power kept secret is strongest. Do not flaunt these abilities without need. The less our foes know of us, the stronger we are. " His frustration grew as he thought of the subterfuge that had been lost with the combination of Taylor's potential leaks in combination with his sister's knowledge of him. He wondered if Chie had even been present to see him realize his kekkei genkai. The path of his father, Hyouton.
With that, he would turn, leaving Kagami to her task as he would fetch the prisoner. He walked down the long hall leading to the prison beneath the institute. As he reached the boy's cell he stood in silence. Without speaking he would unlock the cell door. The boy stood wearily as he stared at Takumi. " Don't fret. It will be over soon. Your nobility will be rewarded with a swift death.". His words, infused with chakra would calm the boy who was imbued with terror, making him compliant. He would almost willfully exit the cell, following Takumi. The three would need to soon head for the Land of Eddies once more upon their ship. Takumi would stand fast at the institute's doors awaiting Kagami's return so they might leave.

__ Kagami smirked as Takumi's glowing seal came into view. "I am the Sero." She repeated to herself internally as if to reaffirm her own incredible power. When Takumi continued by explaining that power should be discreet she felt that his words were obvious. They were shinobi afterall and the illusionist was no stranger to deception. When Takumi took his leave Kagami went to the laboratory. She remembered them fighting in there and that Taylor dropped his bone sword. When she got to the lab she did not see it on the floor so she began searching through the lab storage. It did not take much digging for her to discover the weapon needed to frame Taylor. It was stored away in a medium sized container. When she quickly snatched it out of the container she immediately turned on her heel and made her way back. When she located Takumi she presented the weapon to him. "I assume this will do, it's made of his bones after all." Kagami noted as she awaited Takumi's next move.

Takumi would spot Kagami as she approached him at the front of the building. " Perfect."He said, smirking. The Daimyo's child stood at his side. "Come, boy. Let's board the ship in the harbor." With that, they set off with Kagami

Harada Shimura
Entering the dojo, the brunette samurai would unsheathe his Gunto, how he'd held this blade many times over before. Practicing his basics, Mizurogi would drive the blade forward into a thrusting motion, smoothly impaling an invisible enemy. With swift movement the swordsmen would then step laterally sliding away from center mass, evading an invisible slash coming from his opponent.
Basic Stab Rank: X :: Simple Description: A thrust with the blade of the weapon. In addition to mildly increasing the strength of the blow, this allows the blade to be retrieved more swiftly. This strike is treated as complex when interacting with Formless techniques.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Linear Step Rank: E :: Simple Description: A single step or series of steps forward, meant to add a great deal of strength to offensive techniques. Though it happens much faster than the typical eye can track, it only covers a distance of a single step. Can be executed in a straight line forward or backward. Though slower than Shunshin, this movement is still difficult to track visually for those of a lower body rank than the user’s own, and gains a slight increase to speed per the user's body rank.
Moving onto another skill Sanosuke would cover his hand in chakra, passing his palm over the blade, imbuing his weapon with a thick layer of chakra. Mizurogi had already utilized this technique in battled and it'd saved his life on many occasions. Mizurogi had used the Reinforcement technique in order to increase his weapons defensive prowess.
Reinforcement Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: By coating the blade with a thin layer of Chakra, the user can reinforce it to withstand physical attacks for up to four of the user’s posts, regardless of its composition. Confers a slight boost to fortitude per rank to defensive techniques while active.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Deflection Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: Coats the user’s blade in a cushion of Chakra, leaving the edge exposed. Incoming attacks parried with the side of the blade will float without touching the blade. Can defend against two techniques up to the rank of the deflection, and will disappear after the first two techniques deflected regardless of their rank.
Now Mizurogi could get into the more complicated techniques. This light training wasn't doing anything to even put a sweat on his brow. Twirling his sword around himself, the young prodigy would pretend to be fending off a barrage of shuriken, or a high level Kenjutus practitioner like himself. Rushing forward Mizurogi would close the imaginary distract between him and his opponent. Clashing blades, Mizurogi would grind his against his foe, trying to manhandle him into a corner.
Forcing the man's blade against his own, Mizurogi had the advantage in their clash. He had a special technique percicly for this moment. Using his wrist as a lever or sorts, he would work the mechanics of his body in order to use the momentum of his strike in order to wench his opponents into a submissive state.
Here would be a perfect time for Taijutsu, implementing a free form kick. Mizurogi would separate from his attacker, using his technique to force the man's blade down, leaving him open for a brutal up-slash across the chest. Any man whom could survive that kinda wide open strike, especially with the force Sanosuke could generate with a blade.... would surely be a sight to see.
Forward Grind Rank: X :: Simple Description: After blocking an incoming attack or after the opponent’s block, the user grinds his or her blade across the blocked weapon toward the opponent. This movement closes the distance between the user and the opponent very quickly while forcing the target’s weapon to remain still. A stabbing or thrusting technique used in conjunction with this technique is moderately increased in strength.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Pivot Block Rank: X :: Simple Description: The user pivots on one leg and parries an incoming attack, setting them up for a highly effective counterattack. The strength of any Bukijutsu technique used during the pivot is increased slightly per rank.
It came time for Harada to explore his newly discovered kekkei genkai. His brother had yet to awaken his and for the time being he was in his opinion the stronger of the twins. And his ink style would help cement that. Bringing his fingers together in a tiger seal Harada would summon forth a pool of ink for him to play with. Examining the properties of his ink, it was inherently poisonous, as most ink was. If it entered a victims blood stream it would surely cause damage to their internal organs as well as immune system. With the combination of kenjutsu and ink each attack could prove fatal for a foe in battle.
[ Poisonous Existence ] Rank: B Official Description: Spending a lot of time with those close to nature, the Ukyo will be able to develop new kinds of ink. Those close to the medical corps, the Yamanaka (they have their own stores), Nara (they have great knowledge), or Akimichi (they have experience with food prep) will have the greatest advantage. Guild Description: Doing research all on one's own will allow for small amounts of minor poisons to be mixed into the ink & blood mixture. Working together with the medical corps instead (requires another rpc, of the Medic Class), allows for up to medium poisons to be mixed into the ink. Working together with the Yamanaka instead (must be an rpc) allows for the mixing of minor virals, though the user themselves are not immune. Working together with the Nara instead (must be an rpc) allows for the mixing of minor bacterials, though the user themselves are not immune. Working together with the Akimichi instead (must be an rpc) allows for the mixing of minor chakras, though the user themselves are not immune. (allows for the slight adjustments of the ink to take on simple things, like becoming cold, warm, chunky, runny, etc) Only one of these trainings is allowed for this ability, and additional attributes which would overwrite it are nulled.
• Learn 1 extra ninjutsu technique per post.
Fuuinjutsu [ Sealing Techniques ] Rank: B Official Description: Fuuinjutsu is widely known to operate on ink and blood seals, to which the Ukyo are highly familiar with. After gaining the ability to use Fuuinjutsu (Jounin rank), the Ukyo member will be allowed unprecedented access to the ways in which Fuuinjutsu is created. Guild Description: So long as the ink they are carrying is not affected by the [ Poisonous Existence ] or the [ Durability ] at the time of use, the Ukyo is allowed to spend an additional full post creating their ink jutsu ahead of time, in the form of a simple fuuin. Others may then receive the fuuin'd scroll and use the jutsu--as described--for one time, so long as they host the chakra cost for activation. The user of the scroll at the time of activation will retain control over the jutsu, even if the Ukyo that initially created it tries to interfere.
Now the Ukyo clan orphan would practice the durability of his constructs. Ink in it's nature was fragile and not truly fit for battle. However, by applying more chakra he can increase the durability of his constructs. Making them last longer, survive more, and do more damage on explosion. Slowly but surely Harada was beginning to master the secrets of his family's bloodline.
[ Durability ] Rank: B Official Description: Ordinarily, the ink creations are akin to glass cannons, powerful but fragile. With this training, one can infuse their current ink well with more blood than usual, strengthening the defensive capabilities of their jutsu. Guild Description: Not compatible with [ Poisonous Existence ] or Fuuinjutsu [ Sealing Techniques ] abilities, so only one of them may be allowed at a time within the currently used ink well. 'Defensive' refers to not bursting open when hit once, but rather twice, and losing their defectiveness towards same ranked Suiton jutsu (but not natural water)
• Learn 1 extra ninjutsu technique per post.
[ Ink Projectiles ] Rank: D Official Description: Using this jutsu the user can create an almost infinite number of projectiles to hurl at their opponent, or to counter any thrown object. The ability to counter thrown weapons comes from the use of chakra in the jutsu. As the projectiles come in contact with something harder than them, which is pretty much anything other than skin, they break down into a sticky black goo that causes any flying object to lose it's aerodynamic properties and fall from the sky.
Now with his ink harada with apply some chakra control. Folding his fingers the Ukyo boy would flash a couple of hand seals. Causing the black goo to begin rising. Out walked a perfect copy of Harada. One that was even mentally connected to him, which came in clutch for times when communication between them wouldn't be necessary. Watching the ink clone manipulate his own ink into shuriken, the ink clone would hurl them toward a target before dispersing back into a pile of goo once more.
Sumi Bunshin no Jutsu [ Ink Clone Technique ] Rank: C Official Description: This clone, made from a small amount of ink, carrying chakra, is different from the ordinary Clone Technique in that it has actual substance and mass, making it difficult to see through. Sai is able to make use of the clone for missions involving surprise attacks, infiltration, and assassinations. However, experienced ninja such as Orochimaru are able to see through this technique. Sai and his clones also have the ability to stay mentally in contact with each other. If Sai is rendered unconscious, his ink clones are dispersed.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Sumigasumi no Jutsu [ Ink Mist Technique ] Rank: C Official Description: The user wraps their body in chakra-infused ink to hide themselves creating an effective smokescreen. When used in combination with the Body Flicker Technique, the user can quickly leave the battlefield without being noticed.
Now came the more serious techniques, utilizing his fuuninjutsu Harada would inscribe the kanji for "transport" on a tag, after placing it on his opponent, harada can then transport himself from location to location on the battlefield with relative ease. A very handy technique when needing to get out of a jam.
Sumi Yusou no Jutsu [ Ink Transport Technique ] Rank: B Official Description: Sai takes out a small piece of paper (that is extremely sticky on the back, like a post-it) and writes "transport" on it. Sai then places it on his opponent. By concentrating a small amount of Chakra, Sai can transport to his opponents location, to either silently attack the opponent or to reveal to his comrades the enemies location.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Choujuu Giga [ Super Beast Imitation Drawing ] Rank: B Official Description: A technique characteristic to Sai that allows him to adapt to the circumstances of any confrontation. The ninja uses chakra-infused ink to quickly draws objects onto his scroll. The moment the brush is removed, the images leap from the paper, grow to life-size, and act according to the user's will. Because they are made of ink, a single blow is usually enough to dispel them. For discreet communiques while undercover, Sai is able to turn the words he writes into small animals, allowing them to travel unnoticed to the intended target, after which the ink animal requires a scroll to reverts back into written information. Few techniques rival it in terms of versatility. Exhibited drawings include: Mice, Lions, Birds, Owls, Leeches, Bats, Fish, Snakes, The Benevolent Kings (仁王, Niō) or Vajra Strongmen (金剛力士, Kongō Rikishi), Explosive Tags, Tigers, Cats, Squirrels, Rabbits, and Dragons.
For is final technique, Harada would have to swallow his entire well of ink. There was no other option, putting the cap to his lips he would guzzle gallons of ink, surprisingly enough it didn't taste bad at all due to his kekkei genkai. In the midst of him thinking, he would swish around the ink in his bowels allowing it to brew. Regurgitating a toxic black mass of ink which is extremely sicky and poisonous to it's victims.
Sumi Tama no Jutsu [ Ink Ball Technique ] Rank: B Official Description: Guzzling their current ink well in its entirety, the user will swish it around in the mouth before spitting a large, dark ink orb towards their target. Targets in the path of the orb that become inked suddenly become highly sticky and heavy. Anything that touches the affected areas will become permanently stuck to them for 3 posts, while the targets feel as if they are carrying around their entire body weight. (not including anything that sticks to them)
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Kuchiyose: Ink Shield [ Summoning: Ink Shield ] Rank: B Official Description: This technique allows the user to summon forth a shield from their scroll to block physical and element attacks. If the user draws a sword as if it were a crest, overlaying two swords, then it will block a physical attack up to a rank lower than the shield, and any normal strikes. If they draw the shield engulfed in flames then it will block a fire jutsu up to one rank lower than it, and so forth and so on. This applies to any element that the user can think up something to draw. It can only block projectile attacks or regular physical strikes however, meaning that it can not disrupt the formation or use of things such as the Hyouton Ice Mirrors. Retains its Suiton and water weakness.

Harada Shimura
With the new discovery that Practitioners of this Style gain twice the normal amount of post reductions for relevant training when learning this Style with small or medium bladed weapons. Harada's training was going smoother then ever. Immediately he learned. Calligraohy, a stage 3 technique.
Calligraphy Rank: C :: Simple Description: Heavily increases the speed of all attacks with the held weapon for one full post. However, to compensate for this increased speed, the strength of all attacks is mildly reduced.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post
Extension Rank: C :: Spiritual Description: By channeling Chakra into the blade, the user can extend its reach by up to one quarter of the blade’s length. Lasts for three of the user’s posts. During this time, all simple techniques with the bladed weapon are treated as complex when interacting with other techniques.
Harada had just learned 2 techniques for the price of 1, and we was well on his way to mastering the Hagane no Shunkan style, a feat that not many in the world could say they accomplished. However the young samurai knew he couldn't let his mind wander, applying chakra to his feet. Harada would get a better grip on the floor, meaning he was more stabilized and could get off more power shots then normal.
Solid Footing Rank: C :: Complex Description: The user anchors themselves with Chakra and becomes incredibly difficult to throw off of their footing. While on solid ground, the user gains a moderate increase to strength for all Bukijutsu techniques for three posts, and any stance-disrupting techniques lose any descriptive increases.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post
Twin Blade Rank: C :: Spiritual Description: The user sharpens the air around the blade similar to the Extension technique, but does not affix the Chakra form as firmly to the physical blade. The Chakra blade is as sturdy as the base blade and follows its path, but for three posts, the user is able to control how long after the initial strike the second one will hit, up to a delay of one second. The Chakra blade is not affected by any enhancements of the original blade.
With chakra still applied to his foot, Harada could walk across extremely thin surfaces with relative ease. It was the thread walking technique on clear display. The mastery and skill Harada had over this technique made it easy for him to play around on an razor thin piece of wire. Balancing on the rope like a circus act. Thread walking came naturally to him... maybe it was because he was a clown.
Thread Walking Rank: C :: Training Description: By using Chakra to focus the mind, the user becomes able to balance enough on thin platforms to use Bukijutsu techniques without any penalties. Covers only balancing on solid structures at least one inch wide, not moving or unstable structures. Also allows the user to balance and move on wires during its activation. • Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post.
Advance of Steel Rank: B :: Simple Description: Hones the user’s mind and muscles, moderately increasing technique speed and strength for three posts. Does not consume an action if the user only uses Bukijutsu in the activation post.
---
Harada knew he needed to master a more sufficient clone technique. Ink clones weren't going to last him a lifetime. Bringing his hands together Harada would form a tiger seal, creating a clone straight from the earth beneath him. watching it form into shape, harada and his clone would stand side by side.
▰ Doton Bunshin no Jutsu [ Earth Clone Skill ] | Rank E This jutsu creates one single clone out of the ground. Its fortitude is incredible, and it's very powerful, but lacks speed. Two hits will destroy the bunshin. Clone acts as D rank in Fortitude and Strength, but is only E rank in Speed and Reflexes.
• Learn 1 extra Ninjutsu technique per post.
▰ Iwa Tounyuu no Jutsu [ Rock Throw Technique ] | Rank E This jutsu allows a small rock, about the size of a fist, to be lifted and hurled at someone or something. It is simple enough that no handseals are required, but its maximum weight capacity is five [5] pounds (2.5kg).
Now it was time for Harada to push his doton style a bit further. Throwing up a couple of handseals Harada would dive straight into the earth. Much to his own surprise he would actually begin swimming within the earth, like some sort of fish. or a worm as he imagined it. But regardless his technique allowed him to augment the texture of the earth at his whim.
▰ Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu [ Earth Military Movement Technique ] | Rank E This jutsu allows the user to enter the ground and "swim" in it for a limited time. A shinobi simply has to dive into the ground for this jutsu to activate, allowing them to swim around at their leisure for one [1] post. The user may pay the original amount as upkeep to keep the jutsu going after the first post.
• Learn 1 extra Ninjutsu technique per post.
▰ Tsuchi Tou Tou [ Swift Earth ] | Rank X ( Learned as E ) When performing this jutsu the shinobi places their hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the width and range of this technique is also capable of increasing. This technique starts at a five foot by five foot square directly ahead of the user, and increases in both dimensions by five feet for each rank higher.
Now for more defensive techniques, Harada would have to create an earth wall, he couldn't believe that he actually managed to swim in the ground faster then he could create an earth wall. By grabbing the floor, he could lift the stone and create a wall of pure earth five by five feet.
▰ Doroku Gaeshi [ Rock Shield ] | Rank X ( Learned as D ) This jutsu allows the user to lift up a giant piece of earth and use it as a shield. For every rank, the shield grows five feet by five feet, and thickens by three inches. All it takes to activate this technique is to grab the ground. Only blocks in the direction the wall is created, and the user is still vulnerable from other angles.
▰ Doton Shuriken no Jutsu [ Stone Shuriken Skill ] | Rank D Widely used in situations where the user runs out of projectiles, this jutsu creates replacements. The user simply channels chakra and draws a small amount of earth from around their feet to their hand where it forms three D-rank shuriken.
Now it was time for him to learn an anti projectile jutsu, while the Mud interceptor technique wasn't all that powerful Harada felt it was necessary. Or at least it could prove itself useful in a jam if need be. Clasping his hands together Harada would form a quick handseal to summon forth a quick ball of mud, made to shoot down incoming projectiles. Nothing too special but Harada could find a plethora of uses for it.
▰ Geigeki No Doro [ Mud Interceptor ] | Rank D This jutsu causes small mud balls to shoot out of the ground, deflecting and countering any projectiles. This has no effect on a person other than soiling their clothes, though it has been used by many a boy who wished to get into a mud fight. Does not require a specific source of naturally occurring mud.
▰ Gou no Doro [ Mud Moat ] | Rank D This jutsu converts the area immediately surrounding the performer of it into a deep murky moat full of mud. The moat is at least six feet deep and four feet in radius (six feet radius for D-rank, eight feet for C-rank, ten feet for A-rank, fifteen feet for S-rank). Due to the nature of the moat, water walking can not be performed on it. Only an area of one and a half feet in diameter remains of solid, dry land for the user to stand on. Clapping activates this technique, and it lasts for four posts.
Continuing his doton training, Harada would then move on to practicing some more advanced tricks. With his Hiding Earth Body skill, Harada could sink into the ground. A perfect hiding spot to make an escape if you asked him. Flexing his fingers the young shimura would sudden sink into the ground disappearing from sight entirely. However in reality he was borrowing at break neck speeds, scurrying like a mole underneath the ground.
▰ Iwagakure: Shunshin no Jutsu [ Hidden Earth: Instantaneous Body Skill ] | Rank D An ability which allows the user to transport from one area to another by lowering his body to the ground and eventually become "buried" in it. The user has to have been to the area they are traveling to before, and be able to sense the location with his own chakra before being able to transport him there. This means that the distance is limited to about one mile. This jutsu can only be used to escape combat. Counts towards the guild's three shunshin per battle limit.
▰ Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu [ Ground Shaking Technique ] | Rank D To perform this technique, the user slaps the ground and sends chakra into it, causing the earth below their enemy to shake. The magnitude of shaking is rather minor though, only capable of unbalancing a targeted opponent. If done while the opponent is not on firm ground, it may cause them to fall.
While he was in the ground traveling, Harada would preform a favorite technique of his, the double suicide decapitation technique. It sounded much cooler then it actually was, but in the hands of a skilled shinobi. The technique could become cool, very cool indeed. Tunneling through the earth itself Shimura would travel to where the dummies were being stacked on the training floor. Like a rabid mole, the one eye'd shinobi would emerge from the earth, snatching the dummy and forcefully dragging back underneath the surface with him.
▰ Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu [ Double Suicide Decapitation Technique ] | Rank D This technique allows a shinobi to travel through the ground to appear below their target. They then surprise their target, pulling them into the ground. Once in the ground their target is immobilized; however, struggling free is fairly easy, as the earth around them has been loosened in order to be able to pull the target down into the ground. This technique is activated with a single hand seal.
▰ Sekkai Koutetsuban [ Stone Breast Plate ] | Rank D The user forms a single hand seal and summons earth from the ground around them, hardening it into a stone breast plate that adds extra protection. This technique moderately increases fortitude against hits taken on the torso, and can take a maximum of C-ranked damage before breaking. While it will stop ninjutsu with a designated point of impact, larger area of effect techniques can still harm the user.
Harada's Doton techniques were vastly improving, but he wasn't at the skill level that he needed to be at in order to survive the harshness of rouge life. Now Harada would work on an advanced version of the substitution technique. Except rather then replace himself with a log, he would replace himself with a firm rock with an explosive tag placed onto it. He would use it in tandem with one of his favorite genjutsu's to catch his opponent off guard. Then once they realized, it would be too late.
▰ Bakuyaku Iwa Kawarimi [ Explosive Stone Body Replacement ] | Rank C This jutsu replaces the body with a large stone or even a boulder. There is a rather dangerous difference though, as the boulder that replaces the shinobi's body is volatile, exploding with the force of an explosive tag if struk. This technique consumes one of the user's substitutions for a fight, and requires them to replace themselves with a nearby large stone/boulder
▰ Arijigoku no Jutsu [ Ant-Lion Technique ] | Rank C-S ( Learned as C ) Arijigoku is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Earth Element. After forming the needed hand seal, the user creates a conical crater below their opponent. This twisting, sinking pit pulls the target below ground to imprison and suffocate them. A C-ranked amount of chakra creates roughly a human-sized hole, and it scales large enough to swallow another person with each rank. Those trapped within the sinkhole will find their movement impeded, with Speed reduced moderately per rank once caught in the technique. It takes three full posts before the victim is completely buried.
Harada would now need to practice his ability to hold his breathe for long periods of time, or rather how to breathe underneath the ground. Nothing too advanced and extremely resourceful. Forming a single handseal, Harada would plummet straight through the surface of the earth, quickly burrowing tunnels underneath were he once stood. Remaining underneath the surface for a good 3 hours. Harada would utilize his new Underground Fish Projection training to sustain himself with ease.
▰ Dochuu Eigyo [ Underground Fish Projection ] | Rank C This technique allows the ninja to hide underground with a single hand seal without needing to breath for a short time. This technique lasts only one post, and is best used with distractions.
▰ Doro Gaeshi [ Mud Overturn ] | Rank C After striking the ground with their hands, a large wall of earth will rise into place as a defense. The defense is not perfect though, as a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall. Can defend against up to a B-rank attack, however a B-rank technique will break it.

Harada Shimura
Practicing his stroke technique, the swordsmen would dash across the room, releasing a lightning quick slash attack that came with the momentum. Harada just made it look easy. Resheathing his blade, he wanted to get into the more challenging stuff. Stage 4 would quickly bore him.
Brush Stroke Rank: B :: Spiritual Description: By focusing on the concept of the strike, the user is able to greatly increase the speed and strength of any strike with the blade currently in hand. A Formless Style or other simple attack with the blade in hand while this is active is treated as a complex technique one rank higher. Lasts for four posts.
• Learn 1 extra Bukijutsu technique per post
Disarming Rank: X :: Simple Description: The user responds to an opponent’s Bukijutsu technique by disarming the opponent. The disarm must be feasible and the rank of the disarm attempt must be higher than the last Bukijutsu technique used by the opponent. Cost is E-Rank if the opponent has not used any Bukijutsu in the current battle.
Speaking of challenging the new attacked based on twin blades was ready to be attempted. Harada was sure no one ever thought to utilize the style in the same way he did. Responding to a missed attack, Harada would easily toss a shuriken from his jacket sleeve at the oppoenet. During the confusion he would unlease 3 damaging strikes with his blade, sure to seriously wound or even end an opponent.
Hydra Strike Rank: B :: Spiritual Description: An enhancement of Twin Blade. Instead of only one additional strike, the user can now launch several in a row without any loss in speed or strength. B-Rank affords a total of three strikes, with one more afforded if used in conjunction with a Formless technique C-Rank or higher, per rank above D. If used in conjunction with an S-Rank Formless technique, the total number of strikes is seven.

Illusory Double Rank: B :: Complex Description: A close range attack, the user goes for a direct stab at the opponent. By pulling the blade slightly back immediately afterward, the user can then strike another nearby point very shortly after the first strike. This technique is fast enough that those who are of the same body rank as the user or lower cannot see the second strike. The speed of the strike is faster than Shunshin, without suffering any loss in strength. For no extra cost, any Bukijutsu technique used immediately afterward greatly increases in speed, but moderately decreases in strength as the user's muscles relax to a normal speed again.
Now reaching the final task before hitting the mastery stage, Harada would imbue his arms with chakra, his purple aura becoming visable with his iron willed concentration. With the chakra enhancing his reflexes harada would begin switching through an arsenal of weapons in an instant slashing and chopping every which direction with an array of katanas at his disposal. Now a master of the technique Harada would inherit the title... Swordslinger.
Swordslinger Rank: B :: Simple Description: The rapid switching between blades is known as “Swordslinging”, with masters of this particular art being called “Swordslingers”. By infusing the limbs with Chakra, the user becomes able to switch between weapons instantaneously, including storing the starting one and drawing the new one, regardless of weapon size. If the drawn weapon is bladed, the user can make use one additional Bukijutsu technique with it up to D-Rank without consuming another activation, up to two times per post.

Harada Shimura
Harada learns the Dart technique with relative ease.
Dart Rank: X :: Simple Description: Although it seems somewhat idiotic, this technique can prove useful in a pinch. The user will take their projectile, hold it in a different position than normal, and let it loose as though it were thrown with normal focus and aim. The opponent loses any Reflex boosts when defending against this attack.

Pair Rank: X :: Simple Description: The user will begin by placing two of their projectiles between their fingers, then wave their hand outward, releasing their grip on both, ultimately resulting in a trick shot with their normal focus and aim. Launches two projectiles simultaneously. The strength or speed of each projectile is slightly increased per rank.
Harada places 3 shuriken between his fingers, and tosses them. Each landing on target with relative ease.
Three of a Kind Rank: X :: Simple Description: The user will begin by placing three of their projectiles between their fingers, they will then swing their arm outward, releasing their grip on the weaponry. The result is a triple shot with the user's normal focus and aim. Launches three projectiles simultaneously. The strength or speed of two of the projectiles is slightly increased per rank.

Twin Aces Rank: X :: Complex Description: The user will begin by placing two of their projectiles between their fingers, followed by a quick insertion of chakra to their hand. They will then wave out their hand, releasing their grip on both projectiles, resulting in a trick shot with their normal focus and aim. Both projectiles gain a slight boost to speed per rank. Medium projectile weapons instead gain a slight boost to strength per rank.
Now attaching Chakra strings to his projectiiles Harada figured out a way to control their flight path. making him even more deadly accurate.
Calling Cord Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: Very similar to the shinobi method of puppet control, this technique is performed by attaching lines of chakra to up to five projectiles and then releasing and retracting them. However, unlike the puppet strings, these lines of chakra can be cut, and are not very maneuverable. Allows for the basic control of up to one projectile per rank, starting at D-Rank. The strings can be broken by any Chakra-infused attack. Lasts for three posts.

Trick Full House Rank: X :: Complex Description: The user will begin by placing four of their projectiles between their fingers and a single in their grip. They will coat their hand with chakra, and then place it to their forehead as they gather focus. At the users discretion, the projectiles will be flung with increased focus and aim, upon impact with any surface, all five projectiles will erupt causing a one meter diameter burst and moderate damage. Gains a slight boost to strength per rank. The target is denied any reflex boosts to avoid the burst.
Using the retracting line technique Harada is able to control the length and distance of his attached projectiles much better then before. able to throw them atleast 30 feet while still having physical control over his constructs. Using his Shuriken like kites he would have more control over their flight path and could guide them much better to their targets.
Retracting Line Rank: C :: Training Description: An addition to the technique Calling Cord. By forcing an additional surge of chakra into the strings wrapped around the projectiles, the user is able to briefly control the length, and movement of the strings. Thus, allowing for a much more diverse angle of attacking or retracting. Automatically applied after learning.

Manipulating Line Rank: B :: Training Description: An addition to the technique Calling Cord. By laying a good amount of additional chakra into the strings wrapped around the projectiles, the user is able to fully control the length, direction, and movement of the strings. Thus, allowing for incredibly diverse attacks from all angles. Automatically applied after learning.
Now for another favorite, Harada would get into the sealing and summoning of blades. Sword boxing for a bit Harada would pretent to manipulate his enemies position with his footwork. Once boxed into a corner, Harada would jump back. Slapping his hand down on a scroll, summoning an arsonel of kunai and shuriken to his aid when he needed them. A mighty fine technique for any situation.
Hidden Stash Rank: B :: Spiritual Description: A special technique favored by shinobi who often use their weaponry in barrage formations. After bringing out a small scroll, the user will perform the needed handsigns, then press one hand against the open paper. The user's hand will seep through the paper as if it were water, then retract with the desired amount of projectiles. Because the user must continue to reach into the scroll, this technique is typically only used when they are completely out of ammunition. Each scroll contains only 20 kunai, 25 shuriken, and 30 senbon. The projectiles are made of Chakra and disappear three posts after they leave the user's control.

Scroll Projection Rank: B :: Complex Description: A rather useful technique that can only be performed after releasing the effects of Hidden Stash. The user will turn the scroll so that the draw point is facing their target, they will then press their palm against the back of the paper and surge chakra through their flattened hand. As the chakra moves through their hand, the user will cause the projectile contents of the scroll to fly out in the aimed direction.
