"It’s not about mercy..."


[bounty hunter][Current Class: Medical][Gennin]

Niko makes a handsign and think he knows what Shoko has in mind. Squinting his eyes shut he plummets through the earth using the earth military movement technique. He is lucky he got it off in time. Being dragged to her house it is actually quite a comfortable place for such a crazy entrance. "I like it." He says looking to his wrist recently attached he is able to move the tentacles only a little bit.

Picking up the book and giving it a good read over he is quite happy to learn about himself, but the book is limited he would need personal experience to learn anything. This book says most thing about the bloodline are mysterious. Such is so and much needs to be uncracked for Niko to understand more. .

Shoko


Done with the food, Shoko throws the boy some a bowl of rice and vege/meat mix. Basically stir-fry. Niko has some reflexes and is sure to catch the bowl. Eating quickly and talking to Niko she realizes that he still needs someone to teach him wind jutsu.First though Shoko will help him understand and control his bloodline. Something she is very good in doing for herself. She gives him a couple hints and tips while they eat, just casually talking. Happy to have some company Shoko cleans up the mess from dinner and then heads upstairs to take a shower and go to sleep for the night. It has been a busy day and she needs some sleep so they can properly train tomorrow.

Niko
"It’s not about mercy..."


[bounty hunter][Current Class: Medical][Gennin]
Eating some of the lovely made food Niko watches as Shoko walks upstairs and exits the area for a while. Leaving Niko with some free time, he decides to look through the scroll given to him earlier in mist. Reading over it, he learns a couple secrets to help him train in wind jutsu. This will not be an easy course of action for himself. It is sad to say that no one gave him this scroll while in the mist, Niko was forced to steal this learning scroll for the serious lack of teachers made it impossible for Niko to train otherwise. Sometimes being a ninja isn't about just going to class and training with your teacher. Sometimes being a ninja is about making decisions that are very tough and being alone. Niko takes a deep breath of air and continues reading the scroll noticing an interesting and useful jutsu he should start out by learning.

-Kaze Bunshin (Wind Clone)-

Taking his time to form a clone is easy for Niko at this point, but a slight step up and advancement from this technique would be to make a clone out of purely wind. The hardest part for Niko is to keep the parameters of the body in check because of winds loose nature. Blowing into the air to create extra wind movement Niko as he blows into the wind creates a wispy figure of himself that goes away as the wind slows down from his blowing.

With an extra mighty huff and a blow Niko blows some wind around until finally the wispy figure of wind forms into a clone of Niko with a smile. The wind clone seems to be very useful, but not all that strong. This is ok as Niko does expect too much from his clones at this point.

-Kaze Fuuchuufuyuu (Wind Levitation)-

"Finally!" Niko sees a jutsu which actually manipulates the movement of wind and uses it to interact with other objects in the area. This will be a good starting jutsu to help Niko understand what he must do later to greater increase his abilities as a shinobi. He reads the scroll and makes the handsigns, coping them perfectly he concentrates on his chakra and is able to lift some silverware off the table with the wind, but only very slowly.

Working on the small object such as silverware Niko lifts them quicker and quicker into the air with some practice. Trying heavier object constantly pushing his limit of what he can and cannot lift. Niko has learned this technique, but still is far away from mastering it. He could use alot of work when it comes to lifting heavier objects with ease. At the moment he can send a deadly array of flying silverware at his enemies.

-Yadama Furooseigyo (Projectile Control Skill)-

Wondering why he never thought of this before Niko uses the technique from before to levitate items then using the wind further he sends them towards their target. Whether throwing weapons or sending weapons towards enemies via the wind, Niko will be able to control those projectiles to an extent. Using wind he is able to re-direct the currents as they pass the weapons either changing their course slightly whilst in the air or giving them an extra bit of speed behind them.

This is actually quite an easy jutsu for Niko to accomplish as he has just learnt how to effectively lift items with the wind this is no different. This method is levitating and changing object while in movement basically. It is a bit harder to hone in on the object as precisely but it is just as easy to control.

-Hanpatsu Kaze no Jutsu (Retrieving Wind Technique)-

"Interesting." Niko says while looking to his sheathed swords sitting a bit away from him. He has learned every direction so far of wind control except for right back at him. Which should be an interesting direction to force the wind. If manipulated enough perhaps he could learn how to make vacuums. Just a dream at this moment for young Niko as he weaves the handseals easily for this technique. Looking to his swords they rumble and clang together, the wind not strong enough to blow them back at Niko.

Kicking it up a notch. Niko concentrates and forces yet more power out of the oncoming wind. Finally the wind has enough strength to pick the swords up and send them flying towards Niko. With a smile he catches the swords and places them on his back. Disengaging the jutsu so the wind dies down while he catches the swords. After much time and practice it seems Niko has learnt all the academy level wind jutsu. At this point in going to gennin level techniques he feels he may need Shoko's help in order to understand how to accomplish them.

Shoko


After a great sleep and a well rested shut eye extravaganza. Shoko wakes to find little Niko surprisingly resilient in training. Walking about her room and readying herself for the day she takes not but a minute or two before walking downstairs and talking to young Niko. He of course worked way too hard and needs some food at least. Sleep was avised but he declined in order to train more before he passes out. Shoko shakes her head. "You could of cut a hole in the house and caused a flood. Hope you know Mizu Jutsu." Shoko stares at Niko implying simply what he did was dangerous. An idea smacks Shoko like an S-rank jutsu head on. "That's it." she says biting her thumb. "Why didn't i think of this before?" Pulling out a scroll she places her hand upon a fluttering looking symbol and kanji for 'kaze 風" Out from a whirl of smoke the wind spirit arrives her calm cooling attitude giving peace to Shoko. "The boy needs help learning Wind jutsu...we are underwater so don't let the walls get breached." Shoko says with a small smirk, knowing full well she is stuck to wall duty. Making the necessary handsigns and placing her hand upon the wall of earth she is able to manipulate it in order to regenerate the sides as they are struck by increasingly tougher wind jutsu. Shoko smiles. "god I'm an idiot." She looks to Niko with a slight glare, there is an unmistakable resemblance that she just cannot explain. Perhaps this boy will teach her a thing or two while he's at it.

and so the training really begins...
 

[marquis27]

Niko
"It’s not about mercy..."


[bounty hunter][Current Class: Ninjutsu][Gennin]
Ready for some real training Niko smiles as Shoko takes all this work to help him out. She really does care if he betters his skills or not. Talking to the wind spirit Niko gets a nice little introduction before hearing about the first thing he will be learning today.

Taking a deep sigh as he concentrates this whole wind jutsu thing is hard to master. You need to be able to control an element you can't directly see, but one that you can easily feel. Niko understands this dilemma and is wary of it. He concentrates more thinking about the splitting cutting nature of wind; then forgets it.

Wind can be many things, the learn all aspect of control in wind ninjutsu training is very important. not only can there be the lack of air, but there can be the abundance of air to cause fires or the movement of air to cause propulsion.

Niko makes a quick couple handsigns then forces his hands to the side. In an instant he is blown clear across the room, smacking the wall on the other side he rubs his head with a gaze. "Woah." Knowing now he needs more room for such a technique. He see's the importance of it, but knows its use will be limited.

-Okuridashi Kaze (Propelling Winds)-

Talking more with the wind spirit she tells him of all sorts of wonderful jutsu and teaches him more about the true importance of the cutting nature of wind.

He tries to perform the next jutsu, but has trouble hearing that he would need a wind based element in order to perform it. Holding up the swords Shoko made for him the wind spirit examines them and gives him a slight nod. "Well that will do." She says rolling her eyes. These weapons would not only do, but they would be absolutely perfect for the situation. The wind spirit hands Niko one of the swords and takes the other in her hand. Showing him first how it is done. She concentrates chakra into the blade and gathers energy they energy then expelled from the swords tiny holes create a pressurized blast.

Niko is amazed. He looks wide eyed to Shoko with a look of thank you so much for the gift. She knows this look well and has a quick smile while fixing her position as she is just sitting there healing up the wall. Niko swings the sword around a couple times with no avail. Finally concentrating his chakra he feels it. The wind passing by the energy collected he swings the sword in a mighty downward slash. Following the slash is a mini tornado of cutting wind that just looks like a fury of wind was unleashed from the sword. The walls near Niko crack slightly then heal themselves up due to Shoko's work.

-Kamaitachi no Jutsu (Slashing Wind Skill)-

This next technique is quite the same as the last and would be a great lead in towards it. Luckily this jutsu is a little smaller in scale at times than the slashing wind and creating little pocketed bursts of air can actually be quite dangerous. Niko smiles as he feels he is finally getting stronger thanks to his stand-in mom, Shoko. He swings his sword around lightly and thinking greatly about the next jutsu.

Can he apply it to his swords? Niko thinks so indeed. The wind spirit hands him his second sword and Niko practices the jutsu with both hands to make sure he knows inside and out how to perform this jutsu. Little pockets of air burst near the tip of his sword as he swings it about.

-Fuuton: Shinkuutai Naihatsu (Wind Element: Air Pocket Bursts)-

"Ok last jutsu we are going to practice for now." Shoko says, as she is getting tired of just sitting there healing the wall. This is understandable as her technique is a constantly draining one and every second that goes by of Niko's training the harder it gets for her to keep up and the more danger everyone is in. This underwater training area isn't the best of places for this, but it is quite discreet.

Niko makes a couple handsigns, but is unable to focus his chakra properly to form the wind how he wishes. This jutsu is a little more difficult. It is a rank above Niko's own and as such would be harder for him. Pushing oneself is the key to success though.

With great care Niko creates a wind bubble of sorts the area inside and infront of the bubble being vacuum sucked of air. The jutsu is going perfectly, but the vacuum is happening very slowly and not all the air is being taken away even. This jutsu needs work.

Taking his time to concentrate deeply Niko starts to perform the handsigns for the jutsu as tendrills start to pop out of his body and wag around the area. They wish to help him in some way but are unsure of how. The tendrils then lash out and whip about as they get bigger and bigger in size. Niko is feeling the pain of each and every tendrill as it rips from his body. The sensation is amazing to him.

Within a minute or so the tendrills begin to seem like they are being controlled they all slowly form into a sphere shape and the encase the wind bubble that Niko earlier made. This encasement helps to create a much more powerful suction for the vacuum as well as strengthening the bubble for the vacuum making capture of a person a little easier and more even possible at this point. Niko is proud of himself to have learned this jutsu and after doing so plops down hard on the grounds. He is breathing hard and has had fun training so far.

"Well well. You do know how to work hard don't you boy?" Shoko smiles as she continues to heal the walls up. She creates a clone while Niko takes a break the two shadow clones do work on the outside of the house to thus make it in it's completed stage of finished. The upstairs renovation being completed. So that the giant glass top could be fitted. Special ordered sealing tags to make the glass as strong as steel to handle the pressure of the water down here. Loving the new look of the upper room once finished Shoko allows Niko to train more that is if he can get up and train more which she hopes he can. If he so does she would go back to healing the walls to prevent a cave in and flooding of the house.

The renovation completed the house is stronger than ever. with extra support beams outer coating to strengthen the house and glass top the place is amazing. "Continue your training little one, you have lots of training to complete before you are ready to spar someone." Shoko looks to the kitchen. "There is healthy fiber heavy granola in the kitchen if you need energy...it will taste awful, but give you energy."

Erick appeared at the lake side, changed, no longer having his previous powers anymore. He rolled up a note and tied it so that it wouldn't open. He then wrapped the note with blades of grass to keep it dry. He then sent it into the water, hoping that Shoko would receive it. He then left the area and headed towards the gates.

Note:

Hey, we should probably talk about what happened, and come to a final decision about it.

Niko
"It’s not about mercy..."


[bounty hunter][Current Class: Ninjutsu][Gennin]

The wind spirit remains to help Niko through the more challenging chuunin level wind techniques. So far he only knows of two and is still learning more and more. His abilities to morph the wind are great and his tendrills helping him along the way make for an interesting young man. He has much training to come, but for now he enjoys his time with Shoko. He may be young, but he knows a that training is very important. Taking the advice of his companion he takes some nasty tasting food and gives it a try. The smell rancid. Niko can't believe this is real. How terrible. With a force of a gulp he gets the food down just in time to start his training once again.

Knowing full well how to manipulate his chakra Niko has a good idea that he can manipulate it in one of the tougher areas of the body. The hand. Creating a ball of wind in his hand is a little tougher than it sounds. For this young gennin this would take a bit of work.

The ball would slowly form over time the wind chakra running smoothly through it while it spirals and spins yet holds shape. With a smile Niko thinks he may just be ready.

Taking his time the young boy prepares himself first forming a sphere of wind in his left hand. The sphere then takes shape of a weird blob and then dissipates.

Alright now Niko has the bearings straight of how to control the chakra to form it into the necessary object. Making the ball once again he smiles while he forms the chakra into the shape of a snarling wolf of wind. The wolf charges the wind spirit who promptly whacks the wolf upside the head making it dissipate.

Fuuton Reppu-Ookami ((Wind Style: Gale Wolf))


A couple deep breaths later Niko is surprised as to how far he has gotten on the wind jutsu. He knows he can practice a couple more before he should take a break. He readies himself for another thrilling jutsu. The wind spirit really works him hard and has much the same personality as Shoko sometimes.

Forming the wind into a wolf that can bite and cut is one thing, but to turn the wind into a dragon that can shoot more vicious wind from it's mouth is another completely.

Niko takes his time and weaves a series of handseals ending on the wrong one he curses momentarily and tries again. Getting the handseals right this time he focuses only for a second then lifts his hand to the sky.

In no time at all the wind dragon appears but is unable to shoot any wind cannon shots from its mouth. this is because Niko is having trouble controlling the dragon at all.

Finally gaining control after a long twenty or thirty minutes Niko makes the universal proceed wave of the arm forwards and the dragon flies forwards shooting a series of wind bullets from its mouth.

Fuuton: Furyuu no Jutsu (Wind Release: Wind Dragon)

The wind spirit laughs and looks to Niko whispering a little secret in his ear. The next jutsu he shall learn should be fun.

Niko takes his time and with a couple handsigns focuses his energy with little luck, as nothing seems to happen. The young boy is ferious that his trials are ending in such quick disappointment. He was on such a roll with the other jutsu and yet this one seems so different and so hard to accomplish.

With more tries and many times weaving handsigns the young boy tries his hardest to master this jutsu he hopes to do so before Shoko learns his little plot.

Forcing the air pressure to drop dramatically in the room everybody but the wind spirit passes out. Even young Niko passes out...

...As the blackness subsides and the eyelids are lifted slowly to reveal the world, Niko sees nothing but Shoko standing over him like she is about to clobber him.

Shoko


Taking the note and giving it a quick read over Shoko looks to Niko with a smile your doing well. After saying that she then passes out cause of his next jutsu. Obviously the wind spirit got bored and played a little prank on everybody.

Furious as can be she looks to Niko then gives him a kiss on the nose. "I will let you go check out the city for awhile maybe get in a spar or meet new people or something k?" Shoko makes a series of handsigns then slams her hand into the wall creating a sphere for Niko to ride up to the surface in. "Just have fun. I will find you later ok?" Shoko smiles big to Niko before letting them depart. Next time he see's her there will be some serious earth jutsu training to ensue. Much is on her mind and she obviously needs to clear things up with some people in her past... Niko is doing so well that she is unsure whether to tell him the truth behind his family. Would it make him suffer too much? She sighs then gives it a thought. Right before he leaves the area and right before the earth shuts in on Niko to then send him to the surface in the earth dome Shoko speaks and says with a tearful woe that she held this important piece of knowledge back for so long. "Niko, You've been lied to all your life. I'm your real mother." What she wished to add on and say is 'Your dad was from a far away country that i helped to protect. I settled down there for awhile before this ninja life came calling to me again. im sorry for everything i've done to you.' But sadly she is unable to say all these things to Niko only a bit got to him and hopefully enough to make him realize the importance of this moment.

"Wait what?" Niko slams his fist against the earth as it closes only able to hear the. "Niko, You've been lied to all your life. I'm your real..." Mother was left out and know Niko wonders...my real what? He ascends to the surface of the water slowly and the dome opens up for him like a lily pad to stand on. With a deep sigh he makes a handsign and focuses the chakra to his feet. Only having done this jutsu a little bit this will be his real test. Walking upon the water he leaves the lake area and goes to check out the village. He is unsure know what to do, but knows he has much exploration on the way.

Shoko


She is unsure whether Niko understood her, but can only hope the message got through. With a deep sigh and a handsign Shoko turns to clay then disappears and molds into the ground. Thus traveling far away and to get done with some much needed business: how to explain this situation to the kage? Poor Kusakage sama is always swamped, last thing she needs is more crap work to be burden upon with. Shoko feels bad, but feels it is her duty to explain the new ninja in town and all that is going on.
 

[Hiro the Herp]

As the breeze hit Shoko's cave home, Hiro was suddenly visible once more. He waited for Shoko to arrive before he entered the woman's home.

Shoko


Arriving on the back of her clay bird. It would seem Hiro was able to follow the scent of Shoko quiet well. With a smile she forms a handsign and disappears into a mold of clay. Appearing down below right in front of Hiro and with back turned to her lake. Shoko smiles swaying back and forth she bites her lower lip and grabs a hold of Hiro's collar. "We're not there yet." Whispering into his ear she has changed her home up recently. Sinking her house to the bottom of this massive lake, her underwater home (shaped like a sphere) is two stories the top story of the building being Shoko's bedroom only and glass topped roof so as to see all the beautiful marine life that passes by. With a click Shoko's Anbu mask is taken off as well as her heavy, cumbersome and almost impossible to swim in robes. Down to her basic clothing Shoko pulls out a scroll and and used it for storage of her clothing and anbu materials.

Fixing her bangs and making sure no hair is in her face Shoko looks to Hiro and with a giggle and slight blush she runs and jumps into the water. Diving in and swimming about, she resurfaces so she can look at Hiro again and make sure he has the right idea. Her body soaking wet and hair wet as can be, she smiles to Hiro and dives back down deep underwater, heading towards her underwater home. Once she arrives it is easy enough for her to phase through the earthen walls of the home, and be in her sweet abode.

 

[Hiro the Herp]

Hiro followed Shoko blindly, it was scary at how much he could be controlled by a seductive woman. He watched as she stripped down to basic clothing, the clothes seemed tight in the chest area. When she dived into the water, a light splash of water wet Hiro's clothes slightly. When Shoko surfaced once more, Hiro caught on. He followed suit and stripped down to his black boxers, he was still slightly sweaty from their previous match and the sweat glistened on his abs and his muscled body. He ran toward the water and suddenly dived into it, headfirst. There was practically no splash since Hiro merely swan dived into the lake.

Hiro swam further down into the lake, following Shoko down to her home. When he saw her suddenly vanish into the rocks below, he swam faster and did one handsign and phased through the earthly wall and into the woman's home.

Shoko


"Well here we are." Simply enough in her quirky way Shoko has led a quite outstanding man to privacy. "My name is Shoko by the way." Taking a comfy seat upon her kitchen counter this seems the most fitting place to converse with Hiro while she is still soaking wet from the swim. Luckily the house is waterproofed nicely. "Your are an amazing fighter and I would like you to join ANBU." Crossing her legs and sitting up right in proper posture. "I would like to spend more time with you." She says biting her lower lip afterward as she is unsure she should of said that last part. Probably not a good idea to lead this man on too much, Her scent is still probably on him slightly, not enough to cause heavy genjutsu, but still enough to effect the man in just the right way. She giggles slightly and wonders what this man is like outside of battle."Look to put it bluntly ANBU would be something completely new for this village. Something the Kage needs just as badly as the village needs."
