Koukotsu merely nodded as he recollected the Ten Finger Drilling Bullets technique. He'd seen Ryugan use it before, and it involved firing the fingertip bones from the fingers like bullets. It seemed simple enough, though inside he knew that nothing was ever just simple.
(1/6)
At his first try, he could only make one fingertip bullet come out of his right pointer finger, and that bullet merely dropped to the ground. Koukotsu needed to find a decent method of practice that actually worked, and allowed him to completely succeed with this technique.
(2/6)
After a few more minutes' practice, Koukotsu could make the bone fire from the finger with the strength he should be able to fire all of them at, forcing it to drill into the wall of the dojo. He hoped Ryugan wasn't mad at him for putting bullet holes in the place, but he could only hope for the best.
(3/6)
After discovering a new way of training, Koukotsu could now fire bone bullets from all the fingers on his right hand. However, the left seemed to be different from the right, as if it required a different chakra expulsion. Koukotsu tried the hand again, only being able to fire a single bullet from it.
(4/6)
Now halfway down with the left hand, he only had his left pinkie and ring fingers left to fire from. After that, he would be fully capable of firing from all his fingers, thus, completing the jutsu as instructed by Ryugan. The concept itself wasn't hard in this jutsu, it was the application that killed it.
(5/6)
Success; Koukotsu fired ten bullets from his fingertips, and they hit exactly where he'd aimed them, displaying that he'd gotten a grip of the jutsu. He moved quickly over to Ryugan, and noted that Regula had also arrived. "What's next, Ryugan?"

"The Dance of the Larch....I remember that one." Koukotsu said with a chuckle as he recalled the procedure. Just remembering it would take a while, but he was sure that he'd seen it before, in the time that Ryugan was with them before he left the mist. With a little recollection, he'd have it down.
(1/6)
Now that he remembered the execution, he had to practice pushing the bones from his body. This dance required a lot more bone control than the previous one, so he'd need to work especially hard on it. He tried pushing bones from his elbows and wrists with little success.
(2/6)
By now, he could almost instantaneously summon bones from his elbows and wrists, having demonstrated about half the bones necessary for the Larch Dance. He tried using them in spinning motions, but found that the bones in the Dance of the Larch were much better off impaling than being used as a cutting edge.
(3/6)
He tried extending bones from his chest, and could only get one or two at first. With more practice, he could extend multiple bone spikes from his chest without difficulty. Now, all he really needed to do was practice fighting with them, as the Larch Dance didn't have any specific movements.
(4/6)
Koukotsu tried a simple set of movements first, having found some dummies on the other end of the room. He stabbed into the fabric edges with his bones, quickly creating multiple holes in the dummy with his bones. However, he felt unusual, and performed an intricate spinning move, at one point on one foot, and extended a bone spike from his left heel, and stabbed it sideways into the head of the dummy.
(5/6)
He wasn't done yet; he spun around completely, and quickly. As soon as he had a good footing, he extended the bones from his chest outward rapidly, impaling the dummy in about ten positions in the course of a few seconds. Koukotsu was getting the hang of the Kaguya Style rather quickly, alarmingly so.

(Since this one isn't as hard as the others, I'm putting the posts down to five.)
Koukotsu grinned as he saw Ryugan pull two bone blades from his shoulders. "Looks great...It'll be a fun one to have in the Chuunin exams." He said with a chuckle. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too hard to perform; he needed jutsu he could throw out at a moment's notice for the exams.
(1/5)
First off, he tried extending the bone from his shoulder. At first, he got no response, but as time passed, he began to feel the bone poking out from his shoulder, almost reaching the outside of his skin. Eventually, a knob could be seen forming in his shoulder; the blade was almost there.
(2/5)
By now, he had enough of the blade out to where he could grab it with ease. However, Koukotsu wanted to test just how far out he could push the bone before it fell out of his shoulder. So, on he went, pushing the blade out little by little, fascinated as to how sharp it probably would be.
(3/5)
When the blade seemed like it was about ready to fall out, Koukotsu grabbed it from his shoulder, and pulled it out quickly. To his surprise, it slid out quite easily, an exact opposite to the grueling pain he'd expected from removing the bone originally. The Kaguya blood in him really did astound him.
(4/5)
Afterward, he tried swinging the blade around. As soon as it connected with a dummy, it broke in two; too flimsy of a bone. He tried again, packing more chakra into the bone, and condensing it more before he pulled it out. This time, the blade looked extremely sturdy, and when he swung it at the dummy, it soared gracefully through the air before chopping the dummy's head right off.
(5/5)

(Since it's one dance, I'm still going to do six posts for the whole thing.)
"Oh yes....I've heard a lot from you about the Clematis Dance." Koukotsu said with a chuckle. At first, he studied the way Ryugan's spine moved when he performed the 'Vine' stage of the dance. It seemed rather unusual for a human to pull their spine like a whip from their body, but he didn't complain.
(1/6)
Koukotsu attempted the same feat as his older brother, but found with sheer distaste that the spine took a lot more effort to raise than the other bones in his body. With more effort, the bone raised little by little, but Koukotsu wasn’t seeing any real results until he REALLY put the chakra into it.
(2/6)
The handle of the spine was out now, and Koukotsu tugged it rather gently. To his surprise, the spine slid out rather easily. With a little practice, he could manipulate the spine rather easily. He wrapped the spine around the dummy, and, with a slight tug, the spine returned to him, the side blades tearing the cloth of the dummy to shreds.
(3/6)
Now for the Clematis Dance: Flower. Koukotsu would really have to concentrate for this one. By the looks of Ryugan’s demonstration, it required more complicated bone manipulation than anything Koukotsu had demonstrated earlier, and that was certainly a problem.
(4/6)
On his first attempt, Koukotsu could only make the bones extend a short ways, and twist only slightly into the drill shape that he intended. With a bit more practice, he could extend it further, but still not to the specifications that Ryugan had set with his usage.
(5/6)
His last try; Koukotsu successfully created the drill. The density matched that of Ryugan’s, and it seemed to be an exact replica. “Ryugan….This is certainly better than what I thought it would be. So far, this is my favorite dance. However, I’m pretty sure that your favorite is the Dance of the Young Ferns.” He said with a grin; he’d known his brother for a long time.
(6/6)
