▷▶_________〈 Sunshine, blue skies, please go away... 〉
The shinobi of Amegakure come here to become stronger in order to protect the homeland and strengthen the military forces. The landscape is dead, rain falls continuously, with lakes and ponds scattered throughout. The vegetation is low but it does grow nonetheless.
Arriving at the training grounds the young Uchiha glanced around. Out of all of Amegakure this placed seemed the best to start with. Sparse vegetation, some rocks and plenty of pools of water just laying around. With his hands in his pockets he stepped further into the training grounds. Pulling from his pocket a small book he found a grove of small pitiful looking trees. Brushing some of his damp hair from his eyes he turned the cover of the book around so he could see what was written on the front. It was a collection of useful skills his father had passed to him on graduating from the Academy. The elder Uchiha just said they'd come in handy and left it at that. He had trusted his son to find their usefulness. While not as tactically analytical like his father Shuurin was still bright enough to see the use in a lot of what was written here. Thankfully it went in order of easiest to most complex. Some of these hand signs and chakra molds in the later sections seemed a bit daunting. Thumbing back to the earlier pages in the books he began going over the scrawled first couple of pages. Seems all pretty simple stuff really. Closing the book, he had already studied it once before, he wandered over to a bit thicker clearing where he'd have some cover. First up was a technique for chakra infused flinging water. Not much to this one really, he thought. Holding his hand out he caught a few water drops and wringed his hand sending them flying. [1/1] Next was the water mirror. He stood for a moment and gathered his chakra. Glancing down at a small puddle he choose that for the target of the justsu. Within moments the puddle showed a reflection of the cloudy skies above.[1/1] Next he gathered up his chakra inside and began molding it. Feeling pressure in his chest he inhaled a bit. Next he spat out a small trickle of water. [1/1] Now for the fun part. Useful in numerous situations he made a few brief hand signs and focused his chakra. Out of one of the puddles emerged the likeness of Shuurin. [1/1] Now for the important part. Focusing his chakra into the palm of his hand, he collected a small amount of rain water. The water then began floating above his palm held aloft by his chakra. Manipulating it into numerous shapes he then let it disperse. [1/1] [Suiton Academy: learned] Switching through some of the other sections of the book Shuurin then focused his chakra in other ways. Utilizing it and focusing it he felt for his own bodies electrical system. Tapping into this allowed his body when enhanced by chakra to glow briefly. [1/1] Next up he repeated some handsigns from before. Focusing his chakra he was able to create with lightning this time another likeness of himself. Once again after creating said clone he released the jutsu. [1/1] Finally he gathered up his chakra and cast out his hand like a net. Once he did this a few glimmering strands of light seemed to emerge from his fingers. These would be easy to use for detection he thought. [1/1] [Raiton Academy: Learned] Now he was going to work on the last of the three elements he could utilize. Fire Release which should of been his primary element had taken back seat to his mother's genetic Water Release. First he focused his chakra into his index finger. [1/1] Next he inhaled and focused his chakra again. This time he was able to then take and infuse his breath with chakra. Releasing it a brief flash lit up the area.[1/1] Next he took a shuriken from his pocket and then breathed his chakra onto the surface. Releasing it the shuriken burst into flames. This was useful he thought as he sheathed and dispelled the flames. [1/1] Next he focused his chakra into the palm of his hands. Bringing them together he found that he could clap and create another blinding flash of light. [1/1] Next he snapped his fingers with a bit of chakra between them. He had to do it a couple of times to make sure he was doing it right but when he looked closely he could see that there was a small flame at his fingertips. [1/1] Taking that flame from his fingertips he shielded it and held it into his palm. Infusing more chakra it took greater shape in his hands. [1/1] [Katon Academy: Learned] With these two elements mastered or at least their earliest stages he moved on to Amegakure's unique justu. This time round he had already practiced the Bunshin handsigns enough to know the jutsu by heart. A quick one two three and now there was a rain version of Shuurin. [1/1] Next up was water crafting which was a bit more advanced than him making ball. Focusing his chakra once again he molded it into a kunai shape. Grabbing hold he flicked it into a nearby puddle. [1/1] Finally he made a few brief hand signs and a small cloud began to form to his right. Darkening a small local rain began to appear. More useful than one would think, he cancelled the jutsu. [1/1] [Rain Sub-Element Academy: Learned] Returning to his base element he formed some chakra in his hands. Making signs he inhaled deeply and molded the gathered chakra. Exhaling it came out as a bullet of water. [1/1] Gathering up his chakra again he began to make hand signs. This time he focused his Water Release chakra through his entire body. This let him turn his shape into that of a water puddle. [1/1] Next up as he emerged from the puddle he made more hand signs and focused his chakra. Now shurikens emerged from the air and splashed themselves against a rock. [1/1] Moving along he made more signs and created a couple of pinchers out of the mud. They flowed up and seemed to grab at the air for a few minutes before sinking back down. He could come up with a few good uses for that technique. [1/1] He then focused and manipulated his chakra until he had water swirling around him. Using his chakra again he made a few hand signs and molded the proper pattern. This created a proper shield above his head. [1/1] Letting that disperse he used the remaining gathered water in the next technique. Making hand signs he began to focus his chakra once again. Now there was a slight shimmering version of himself their made of oil. [1/1] [Suiton Genin: Learned] Focusing his chakra again he decided he would try a different element this time. Switching, he could feel his body start to crackle with static electricity. Exhaling he could feel it all discharge as he did so. [1/1] Next he let his thoughts go free. With the guiding hand of chakra all things are possible. Including leaving your body standing there while you took a quick peek around the training grounds. [1/1] Next up was the simple task of transferring the electrical current he could generate. Removing a kunai from his holster he focused his chakra into the blade. Glowing briefly with light and energy he holstered the kunai. [1/1] Next up he went ahead and began gathering energy. Charging up for his Kamehameha he could feel the Lightning Release begin to build. With that he let loose the pent up energy. [1/1] Moving on he focused his chakra again. This time he turned it inward as he did so. This allowed him to become the Getsuga Tensho. [1/1] Making more hand signs he could feel the familiar rush of chakra. As he did so he channeled and funneled it different ways. Next he knew his kunai was trying to make it's way as if almost by magnets to his hand. [1/1] Almost finished with this round he focused his chakra yet again. New hand signs this time and he could feel the chakra begin to rise. Releasing all of that static electricity through one hand Shuurin thought the little pop sound it made kind of adorable. [1/1] Finally he focused his chakra again. This time in his hands was a yellow Spirit Bomb like thing that made him want to shout about Pikachu using thunderbolt. [1/1] [Raiton Genin: Learned] Focusing his chakra back into his index and middle fingers he began to feel them heat up. Even with all the rain his two fingers began to look red and glow at the skin. This would be useful for the close jabs he thought. [1/1] Next he threw a couple of shuriken around and breathed his chakra on those. Ignited them with fire as he did so they splashed harmlessly around his feet. Useful for those situations when needing cover he thought.[1/1] Next he brought his hands together and applied chakra to them. When he brought his hands together a brief jet of flame shot out from them. Also good for cover he thought. [1/1] Next he focused his chakra and developed a heat resistance. This would be useful when facing similar elements he decided. As he watched small sparks and embers danced across his skin. [1/1] Next was a clone jutsu with some uses. Made from the embers on his skin he called forth a likeness of himself. Now with a twitch the clone exploded into embers and small flames. [1/1] Next he then picked up his kunai and focused his chakra into the blade. Flames burst forth from it's surface as he swung the kunai experimentally. Nice he thought, having a flaming knife could be handy. [1/1] Next he then focused on his own body again and let his inner body temperature rise. As he did so steam blew away from him. This would make it harder for projectiles to touch him. [1/1] [Katon Genin: Learned] Returning to the rain sub element he began to make chakra moldings. Making hand signs he applied chakra to them. This allowed him to sink to a water puddle and reappear. [1/1] Next came the rain cloud skill and he already knew the basics behind this one. More hand signs and some more chakra later he performed the technique. Now a pretty decent sized rain cloud was above him. [1/1] Next with a bit of manipulation he was able to use his chakra to grab some of the falling rain. Swirling around him like a shield he felt this skill could also come in handy one day. [1/1] Next he focused his chakra within him again and made a few hand signs. The water swirling him stopped moving and instead began to bubble. Suddenly it shot outwards in many tiny spikes. [1/1] Next he gathered more of his chakra and began applying geometry to it. Taking on a cube shape he could see rain within it's surface. Dropping this on an enemy would make them have a bad day he thought. [1/1] Next he raised his arms as he utilized his chakra. This was sent out into the earth and as it did so arms began to rise up. These were more powerful than the mud crab skill and just as useful. [1/1] Finally he then spread his chakra out amongst the area and a low fog began to creep in. This would be useful for hiding and remaining stealthy. As the fog spread out he cancelled the jutsu and it began to dissipate. [1/1] [Rain Sub-Element: Genin learned]
Taking a break from the ninjutsu for a moment Shuurin wandered over to the small tree he had tied his bag too. The ground was too wet to leave it lying there and it was water resistant enough to handle being lashed to the trunk. Feeling like he needed to give his chakra a break for a bit. He performed one last ninjutsu for the moment and a version of him pooled from the ground below. Shimmering before taking on shape the rain clone stood patiently and grinned. Shuurin removed his hood and ran a hand through the mass of black hair. [1/18] Brushing it out of his eyes and letting the rain plaster it back he began to stretch. Making sure each of his muscles were properly eased out and ready for what was coming next. Cracking his neck he turned to the rain clone and made the simple hand sign to signify the start of a sparring match. [2/18] The rain clone returned the signal and the two of them rushed forwards. Once meeting, Shuurin led the attack with a sweep kick around shoulder height aimed with his left leg. [3/18] Bringing the leg around to the right Rain Clone brought both arms up in defense. The impact caused Rain Clone to sink a bit in the mud. Successfully blocking though Rain Clone aimed a punch with his left arm straight towards where Shuurin's leaning head would be. [4/18] Pivoting and using the leg that had ceased movement as an anchor Shuurin flipped himself backwards. Using his arms to catch himself the Uchiha then brought himself spinning low trying to take Rain Clone's legs out from underneath him. [5/18] Jumping into the air Rain Clone then brought one leg down trying to slam onto Shuurin. Realizing what was about to happen Shuurin rolled himself to the right and kicked out with one leg. [6/18] Landing Rain Clone couldn't do anything to stop the blow coming at him. Taking the brunt of the hit the Clone was knocked back a foot or two and lost it's footing in the ground. [7/18] This let Shuurin press his attack and come in swinging with his right arm. Aiming just a simple right hook to the side of the Clone's face, Shuurin decided it easier to press the attack. Reacting the clone brought both arms to his left and swept the right hook away. [8/18] Rain Clone then took his own right arm and aimed a jab at Shuurin's midsection. Pulling back and letting go he raised himself from the ground to follow through with the attack. [9/18] Shuurin saw the jab coming and knocked it away with his left arm. Using his forearm he knocked Rain Clone's arm helplessly to the side as he pulled back his leg and aimed a crushing stomp kick to Rain Clone's sternum. [10/18] Twisting, Rain Clone was able to move away from the kick and bring himself about to face Shuurin. Mud soaked the both of them by now and they both had the same single sided grin on their face. [11/18] Reaching back again Shuurin focused and called his chakra to flood his body. As he closed the distance with Rain Clone he aimed a straight forward punch to the face that he expected Rain Clone to dodge. [12/18] As he put force into the blow he released his chakra all at once. Rain Clone saw the attack coming and thought it pretty straightforward and swung it's body away from the hit and Shuurin. What surprised it was the fact that the force of the blow still seemed to send it sprawling. Rain Clone was pretty positive that it had a chance to dodge that blow. [13/18] Getting back to it's feet it charged forwards spun kicked towards Shuurin. Shuurin concentrated his chakra again and side stepped right before getting hit. Rain Clone felt his kick connect with something and was taken by surprise yet again when Shuurin connected with a straight hook to his face. [14/18] Reeling back, Rain Clone was very confused by this point. Shuurin pressed the advantage and the two began trading blows again. One would strike and be blocked and the other would retaliate. Each pressing to find an advantage or opening. [15/18] Finally Shuurin felt like he was getting the hang of this particular style. While it had taken him a bit of getting used to focusing his chakra in the right way now he had it down. It was all just chakra control really. [16/18] Pressing forwards he began to gather what left of his usable chakra he had left and aimed a feint at Rain Clone. The attacks earlier had taken their toll and Rain Clone wasn't reacting as quickly as before. [17/18] Uppercut achieved and lift off was recorded as in quick succession three after images of Shuurin appeared. These carried Rain Clone off his feet and caused it to disperse back into rain water. [18/18] [The Hidden Rain's Mirror Image Taijutsu Stage Three: Learned]
Finally finished with his training for now Shuurin gathered up his things and began to head back. The day would soon be coming to a close and such he needed to get home. Change of clothes would be good and then to report in just to make sure his current assignment hadn't pushed past pending when he wasn't looking. Pulling his hood up he put his hands in his pockets and with his bag over his shoulder headed out.

Armand, thanks to the grace of flight, managed to arrive before anybody else. The bird did a quick air-brake and touched down on the training grounds before reverting to its smaller, more portable size. He gave a slight sigh. He hoped this wouldn't just be training for the sake of training. He was hoping to develop his eyes further instead of just mindlessly stocking up on his techniques. His eyes, though active, couldn't even copy techniques yet. It was sad.
Materializing out of the not quite gloom Shuurin had found his way to the training grounds. Wandering in off the streets with his hood pulled up he glanced around and noticed Armand had beaten everyone else here it seemed. It helped when you could fly, he supposed. Through the rain, slight fog and shadow of his hood there was a faint eerie red glow. The same light that radiated from Armand's eyes came from Shuurin's own as well. His Sharingan was active as he approached from the far end of the field. When alone he had begun leaving it active in an attempt to condition himself to the drain it placed on his chakra. While definitely negligent enough that it wasn't causing him to lose sleep over it he nonetheless wanted to become acquainted with the sight they brought. As it were his single tomoe Sharingan was only a step in the door to what they were capable of. Finally within hailing distance of Armand he raised a fist briefly as he called out "Oi." Glancing around as he slowed to a stop some distance off to the side of Armand he asked "We just supposed to cram study or...." He trailed off without making it a conversation as his natural tendency to just look at everything got the better of him for a moment. Absentmindedly, he began to play with his inner chakra reserves. It was something he did when he was lost in thought. He would mold his chakra in different ways, like doing a test run for the way you would use chakra to create a fireball for example. [1/4] It was something he honestly did as a nervous tic most of the time. Not that different from the person who would tap their feet all the time. Mostly it was due to his attention span, while not squirrel retarded he found he often would be following multiple train of thoughts. [2/4] So being the slightly attentively challenged individual that he was he really didn't think too much of adding his Raiton chakra to the mix. He had crouched down and was watching a small pool of tadpoles, frogs and insects with the Sharingan. [3/4] So while watching the nervous tic motions of the insects as the frogs lounged nearby, Shuurin got a bit curious. In the back of his mind he wondered what would happen if he were to use the Current Transfer Skill on himself. He had built up enough Lightning Release chakra that he should probably do something with it. Dumb enough idea, on a training field no doubt. He was already Puddles the Bitchslapped Genin why not add explody to the title. Completely okay with this, he used the Current Transfer Skill and channeled the pent up Raiton through his body in an effort to release the charge. What came next kind of surprised him as he had inadvertently stumbled upon the Raiton: Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release: Lightning Armor) technique. [4/4 learned] "Oh, so that's what that does." he remarked rather apathetically for a moment before the Raiton chakra burnt up and the charge dissipated. He could honestly do this for quite awhile. Between his large reserves of chakra and the way he could stare and watch the natural world go by. He had already started playing with his chakra again by the time his Raiton had faded. It appeared that Armand wasn't going to be doing anything right this second so he stood up and wandered off. His eyes were rapidly moving back and forth between the rain, birds, small woodland creatures, sounds from the Village itself, Armand and the ground at his feet as he meandered. Trying to train his eyes the same time he did to him what was a boredom pastime. [1/4] This time he had decided to play with a different flavor. Lightning Release was fun but being an Uchiha there was that incessant need to play with fire. Even a run down rainy place as this he could still blow someone up with a fireball. Classic stuff that, blowing s**t up. Armand would know how awesome that felt. [2/4] He still wasn't even sure what he was going to do with the chakra either. This far out in the open he figured he could do whatever the hell came to mind. So when hand signs he could remember since childhood came to mind he just went with it. By this point he had started glancing up at the sky and had done the signs one handed almost with out thought. Slowly and methodically, with a slight sway like he was doing it to the rhythm only he could hear. [3/4] With a deep breath, he added his Katon Element at the last second and prepared to exhale. Feeling the air combine with chakra he let the air loose from his lungs and in a rush the Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Powerful Fireball Technique) was on it's way. [4/4 learned] Before it could develop too far though using a combination of the Flame Resistance and Spread skills he had caught the fledgling fireball and dispersed it's flames along his arm and shoulder. He didn't want to be whiffing fireballs every which way while everyone was still assembling and gave him some chakra control practice while he waited for Armand to decide what to do. Once the fire had settled and really had only served to dry him out did he go back to wandering around aimlessly. Forming his chakra this way and that he opted for water this time. He was now starting to get bored and using Water Release meant he could be a bit more lazy. [1/4] He had crouched down again by a group of rocks after watching something slither inside. Curious, he brought his thumb to his lips and began chewing his bottom lip. Holding his other hand out his Sharingan tried to discern anything in the fraggle rock. [2/4] With a lightbulb going off in his head he channeled his chakra into his free hand. Imagining a small knife, he sought to collect some of the extant water both falling from the skies and pooling at his feet. With a solid image of what he wanted in mind, water began to gather in his palm. [3/4] Slowly as not to scare whatever was hiding droplets started to form together into a long point object shape. Focusing and keeping his chakra in control until it had taken a pretty solid consistency and resembled a knife in size and shape. [4/4 Mizu no Yaiba (Water Sword) learned] As he moved the rocks ever so slightly a rather oddly colored lizard scurried from it's hiding place. "Bah, I could just keeping doing this all day and it's not going to get me anywhere." he muttered to himself more than to anyone else. "Oi, Armand. You wouldn't want to try blowing me up would you? I could use the practice methinks." If it wasn't Armand it was going to be the Barbarians banging at the Village Gates. At least Armand would be nice enough to fly him back to the hospital should he lose an arm or leg. Distant cousins twice removed on some mother's bad side level of family bonds had to count for something. Shrugging he just really needed the chance to get not lopsided combat experience. Being new he hadn't fully fleshed out how to use his powers cohesively and not awkwardly. That was what the early sparring rounds were usually for but they had been thrust head long into a fight they obviously were ill prepared for. So he needed to learn combinations and techniques and how they flowed together into science and mysticism. To do that he needed to face someone and who better to practice with than another Sharingan user. This way they could both train their eyes and hopefully advance to the next tier of their shared kekkei genkai.

Landing smoothly on the ground, Michio chose just to listen for a bit to the chattering of the people around him. Looked like the two Uchiha were going to go at it for a few rounds? To be honest, it was a better idea than sitting there grinding techniques all day. Combat was always the best teacher, and it was better that they gave each other the important lessons before the Barbarians did. "I'm also up for a challenge, if someone else is looking to test out a few of their jutsu." Truth be told, it was often told that Michio was among the strongest Genin in the village. Of course, he wasn't exactly aware of this reputation, either; with all the time spent training and accomplishing missions for the village, it was probably likely that his house could be relocated and he wouldn't notice. In truth, he would have liked to test his skills against one of the stronger opponents--a Chuunin, perhaps--but most of the village's higher-ups spent their time doing exactly what he did, so the time for a spar for all of them was usually quite limited. Nevertheless, he waited for one of the other battle-ready shinobi in the area to accept his invitation.
Grey, very easily, decided to go to the training grounds in a secluded part where he can meditate in silence. The reason why was he needed to release the pent up anger inside of his gut. Sitting down, he crossed his legs and closed his eyes and began meditating before hovering off the ground a meter. The silent of the forest kept him from gaining anger and annoyance and instead he lost both. Be slowly started to become happy sitting in the silence. He paid no mind to the chakra that he could sense. . . ▸ the mountains say. ▹The mountains say ▸Imperial.Monk.

Kya arrived late, surprisingly, as she had to stop by the hospital to get some work done. The doctors used pretty high level medical jutsu on her foot to get her back up on her feet. Well, she never was truly inhibited. She simply didn't too much care for the pain she had been ignoring the entirety of the day. When she arrived she was also carrying a somewhat large and weildy looking crossbow, lugging it with an arm covered in vines. She saw Grey off on his own, meditating to strengthen his mind as opposed to the body. She would rouse him from that soon enough, as if she wanted him to do that she would have sent him to a temple. Her eyes flickered to the two Uchiha, finding Shuurin was asking Armand for help training, and Michio was last. She saw him alone, asking for a sparring partner. She had a clear line of sight on him, and the others were out of the way so she decided, for the moment, that she would warm herself and him up with a very basic exercise from back home. Michio. Move!, she called out as she snapped the cross bow up and in perfect aim within a second and fired a bolt, compressed prior to firing to add speed to the shot. It was aimed for his chest, right around the left lung. It looked as if a shooting star was approaching him. It'd hopefully get his blood pumping, his heart going. Once he was sufficiently out of harms way, she would fire another and then another, each one extremely fast, but at least coming from directly in front of him. Her plan was to only use her crossbow for a bit to improve upon her somewhat shotty aim while giving him some practice avoiding taking damage. It wouldn't be difficult for him. He might not even have to move to avoid the first bolts, but she had no intention of letting it be that easy. In fact, if he did think so this would be a harsh lesson indeed.

The Enemy forever wavers, shifting in and out of my conscience to different variable degrees - one moment he is here, one he is not. Right now . . . . he has gone away to halcyon days, where he recalls moments from our past incarnations, where the sun did shine on the people of the land; where the sky did open up to greet them with its golden glow. Yes . . . those days now forlorn, those days we had forsaken in our ignorance of how much darker the days could be; from halcyon to grim in all forms, we have been lost, though the Enemy does recall the light that called him to life.
Kleine Heiland. That was the one that manifested right now, rather than Shinsei Yamana, the prodigy of the Enemy that so lived to bring glory to him. The purest aspect of this multi-pronged individual was the one that walked the earth at this moment, though even at his most pure he was a child of sin, lust and need; he was nigh 'evil' compared to the majority of individuals, based at least on their self representation. One thing Kleine enjoyed irregardless of his current metaphysical state was combat, because he was good at it, and he determined that he would challenge others to this little game.
"Grey", he called to the other Chuunin. "Face me or be shamed."

The days that go by continues to make me feel more and more heavy.....did their deaths way that much on my conscious? Every time i remember that....and every time i try to remember my life before being 11? I Know Grey nor Imay is my real name, but something that stuck with me. The nickname grey definitely did, to everyone it feels like my real name seeing as they're use to it. I barely get any sleep these nights.... maybe thats the reason. But what is the reason behind me sleep walking? Is the locked part of my mind trying to tell me something? What could it be? The silence of his part of the training ground caused him to space out into his mind, now everything was a blank canvas waiting to be painted, until he sensed a familiar chakra source, then a voice called out challenging him. Slowly opening his eyes, he gave an annoyed facial expression before closing them. "Shame is like pain, and pain is temporary." Hitting him with some of that knowledge the old folks ((Buddhist)) taught him back in his training, he continued his meditation. Grey had no intentions of fighting, and came up with the conclusion that he had done a terrible performance back at the camp, and the reason why was because of his mental presence. Despite his success in fending off the 3 other chuunin, but the retreat of the group resulted in everyone not holding their weight good enough, and one of those people was grey. Thinking back to the challenge, grey was a bit curious on what Kleines next move would be. If he attacked him then grey would fight like he always do when challenge. Dodge every attack and tire out the opponent, but when its a street fight, then he does that and then kick their arse, he doesn't plan to do that to kleine though. Grey literally doesn't want a fight. ▸ the mountains say. ▹The mountains say ▸Imperial.Monk.

They cannot fly, but instead as stated, hover a few feet off the ground. [Bloodline] - [This for That] The Walker can shift their own stats, moving 2 points from one stat to another. For example, if the Walker moves 1 point to speed, he loses 1 point of strength. This can be swapped in battle, but has a 2 post cooldown every time it is done. [Class] - [PHYSICAL TOUGHNESS] -- The Taijutsu class not only teaches you to ignore pain, but can also make you immune to damage from weak attacks, based on your rank, making you almost immune to damage 2 ranks below you: -Ame no gakure Chuunin- Speed-12 strength-10 Ying-150 Yang-150
Armand looked to Shuurin and gave a nod to his question. "Sure, but if either of our sharingan end up flickering out, that person loses." He decided that he'd start slow and work into it, no point in detonating half the grounds as quickly as possible. With the clay bird re-sizing itself, Armand created a clay clone to mount its back and speedily take off into the air, hiding amongst the clouds. He focused on one of the elements in his blood, and settled on Fuuton to be most connected with for this fight.
With this short setup ready, Armand readied himself up for the counterattack, but didn't draw his axe as per usual. No need to hack off limbs in a training bout. To get Shuurin moving, he launched two shuriken to either side of him in a curvature, then used Yadama Furooseigyo (Projectile Control Skill) to send them at Shuurin's side in a surprise angle.
Upon hearing his name, it made little difference. He could feel her chakra compressing the shot before she even fired. He turned to face her, seeing the crossbow bolt flying at him, the glint of its metal tip shining brilliantly. Did she not remember his abilities? While leaping to the side to dodge, Michio would manipulate the metal within the tip of the bolt, casually moving it to the side so that it stuck aimlessly into the ground. He would repeat this process using one hand for each incoming bolt, with the other hand manipulating his steel cable. With a quick swing of his arm, the cable would soar towards Kya in a right arc, threatening to knock her off balance with a quick, powerful sweep to her legs. Without really needing to spend chakra, Michio began the process of passively converting the earth around him to metal, to further increase his advantage. It would be interesting to see how his kage responded, knowing that unless she imbued her arrows with a technique, he would be able to simply redirect them at his leisure. "I thought you knew that metal doesn't work on me, Kya. You'll have to be a bit more creative than just shooting at me."
"Deal." Shuurin said as their bout officially started with Armand making the first move. The rain was still coming down much the way it had before and the training grounds Shuurin noticed had become full with numerous other combatants. Now this is more like it, he thought as he began moving as well. As Armand withdrew his axe, Shuurin flooded his system with pent up Lightning Release chakra. Covering himself with the Raiton: Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release: Lightning Armor) to begin with he watched as Armand launched two separate shuriken in his directions. Watching their initial paths he saw them take a turn for the unusual which meant they were being controlled somehow. Stringing two hand signs together, he used the Water guard technique to swirl some of the rain water around his body to stop the shurikens from landing. His body to him felt lighter, like he could move faster. It must of been the influx of Raiton fueling his nervous system he thought. Crackling with sparks and engulfed almost in a Super Saiyan like aura he reacted quickly stringing the next set of his techniques together. Once again, since it was such a simple jutsu the hand signs he needed weren't that many. Pulling his chakra together Shuurin used the Bullet Rain skill on Armand. With the other Sharingan user as the center from where he stood to ten feet in any direction the rain coming down from above would began to take on a senbon like quality. These needles wouldn't kill or even seriously injure Armand but getting pricked with a bunch of needles couldn't be fun either. Shuurin's Water Guard still floated lazily around his body in a circle. Watching intently with his single tomoe Sharingan the young Uchiha was more wanting to poke and prod Armand's reflexes and see how the other reacted to stimulus. Consider it a litmus test for combat or something. Never go all out without first determining what the base line was for the enemy combatant. He'd seen some of what the guy was capable of t the barbarian camp. Assuming his clay was explosive from how he acted when he tried to hold them hostage and how he was eager to get it off of him after the battle had finished. He had some skill with a blade, judging from the axe and other than a decent skill with projectile weapons hadn't showed any more than that. That left it up to Shuurin to figure out both what the Armand could do and figure out how to work his skills with Armand for the eventual betterment of the team. Yeah, all that friendship and team work crap would happen at some point. For now though, he just didn't want to lose to his own kinsman.

Armand noticed the clouds above flooding with chakra thanks to the grace of the sharingan. It would be quite a distance to move from whatever was coming, but luckily he was a brand of shinobi not hindered by gravity or earth. Almost exaggerating taking a deep breath, Armand's body plunged into the ground, safely away from the falling needles of pain.
The genin threw together a quick plan, one that would try to test the limits of their sharingan. The first, would be to dissuade suspicion by flooding the ground and himself with chakra. "Doton: Rikujou Douyou no jutsu (Earth Release: Ground shaking technique)" Hopefully, this would also be throwing Shuurin off balance. The second part of the clan, was to create several clay projectiles in his palms, but to mask their volatile nature. When this next jutsu was completed, he stowed them in his kunai pouch.
Pressing the attack from his "safe space", Armand moved forward toward Shuurin's position until he was in tight quarters and burst out, a one-handed seal being visible amongst the mud and dirt rising from the ground. "Geigeki No Doro (Mud Inteceptor)" Two blobs of mud would fire out right from underneath Armand's feet to grab and cement Shuurin's legs to the muddy and wet ground. Another thrown shuriken was tossed towards Shuurin's chest to keep him moving and occupied, or to strike a "lethal" hit if the mud caught him.
