Sora and Rika's training

Looking at her sensei she smile at him and say.... "Isn't this like my dark element technique I just use except without a shuriken? Should be easy to master." She smile a bit now that she had something to learn that she was good at. Then Rika stood up and watch her sensei show her the technique once more before she got ahold of it. Then she would bow to him and head off to a small circle of tree's in this area that she could learn.

She had memorize the name Shikimori Ninjutsu Art Element Sphere and she would use her shadow clones again for practice in training once more before trying to master it to the next level which would increase the limit of clones she could make to 5 clones which would be great handle in helping her training. She quickly made the 13 handsigns she needed to create her clones as three clones appear up in front of her. She smile huge as she saw she reach the limit of the first level of this justu, she knew it was time to head towards mastering the jutsu now.

She then had her clones gather around her as they started doing the same technique with herself. She smile even more brightly as she started to hold out her hand and focus her chakra that looks black and yellow from her elements mix in her chakra towards her hand. Rika was keeping her mind clear on focusing putting it in a shape of a ball though it wasn't looking much like one from her first try.

She was usually good with this but it seem like today wasn't her day. After Rika shape it the best she can it looking more like a ball, she then hurl it at a tree making it to it and burning it through the tree. She cheer with excitement after it dispere having good luck at least at burning the chakra. She knew she had to work on creating the ball still and probably sensei had something to say about it through as she looks towards him. The sunlight was shining brightly at her then as she look down and walk over to the tree where the hole in it was.

I would continue to practice the air burst jutsu he was teaching me. I had finally gotten it. I was practicing on a nearby tree. When I concentrated and took his advice at hand, and into my mind, I performed the jutsu straight out the way I was supposed to. I had finally gotten it, the tree, had a hole in it, and it was beginning to come crashing down. I was hoping that we could regenerate the tree, since I never really liked killing mother nature anyway. Hehe.

"Kazuki-sensei! I did it! I finally mastered it! The tree, it, it split in two, and all because of the air burst I released. I took what you said to heart, and used it, and it came in handy. What to learn now? This is great, I can feel the strength and enthusiasm surging through my bloodstream!" I sure did seem excited about this. I was getting stronger after all, I felt it, I really did. Both physically, and spiritually. And for that I was to thank Kazuki, for he was the one who was making us strong. I stood there, panting and waiting for my next technique to be taught to me, regaining my breath slowly. I thought a moment or two, and then decided to walk over to Kazuki-sensei and Rika, to talk. I knew Rika was feeling a bit down, and so, I offered some of my kind words.

"Hey there Kazuki-sensei. And of course, my lovely sister, Rika-chan."I would bow to her and then kiss her hand. Though I didn't really need to, I did it anyway. I liked to show respect and respect I shall show. I then talked to her, smiling at her, grabbing one of her hands. "I was watching you from before, and from that distance over there. SO what if you're not as advanced in the wind technique, you'll get it soon, and I'm sure you willl. Especially with Kazuki and I helping you each step of the way. And, you're getting stronger too Rika I can see it. But listen, I have that technique still stored in my head for later, it'll be all you and me, and we'll be the greatest team ever. But nice work here sis." I winked and then stood back up tall, laying a kiss on her cheek just before. I was ready for more training. I was skilled in all areas, and even in weakness we would see though to help each other that was no doubt. I then turned to Kazuki and smiled.

"Alright then Kazuki sensei, whats next? Heheheheehehe." Letting out a laugh just like Naruto, I proceeded forward. I couldn't wait for the perilous training up ahead, we were going to be unstoppable, and I knew it. ^-^''

OOC:Kazuki 1
kazuki 2

kazuki smiled at his two students before using his neo afterimage technique to seperate into two kazuki's. "alright rika you will learn ninjutsu from this kazu while i continue to teach your sister taijutsu." The real kazuki stayed with rika continuing to guide her ninjutsu training as the other kazu lead sora to the other side of the field. "Alright now sora I am going to teach you one of my favorite techniques. This is called the afterimage technique. Watch carefully..." While sora continued to stare at kazuki she suddenly got a tap on her shoulder. As she turned around she knoticed that it was her teacher who tapped her shoulder as she turned again to see where her teacher once was as the illusion of her teacher suddenly faded from sight. "This technique is based off of speed. You focus chakra into your legs in order to speed up your movements, then once you do this you move to another location at such a speed that you leave behind an image of yourself.Kazuki said smiling.
_________________________________________

"Alright Rika now we I am going to show you what you can do with this technique." Kazuki smiled as he lit a small peice of paper on fire and threw it in the air. Kazuki then quickly made executed the elemental sphere technique and threw the ball of chakra at the burning paper. As the ball hit the fire the chakra suddenly changed as the technique absorbed the fire element. "You must focus on removing every ounce of element away from your chakra so that your chakra may become pure. Then you will be capable of absorbing elements like a sponge. Kazuki smiled.

After awhile she notices her sister come over and speak to her. She knew her sister was trying to cheer her up and Rika thank her for that. She smile at her and say "Thanks sis, your the best." Rika then would quiet down as Kazuki spilt himself into two and lead her sister somewhere else while she stay with the real kazuki she guess.

Looking at the two kazuki's watching one lead away her sister and the other stay here she blinks. Then she turn her attention to the kazuki in front of her explaining that she must pure her chakra and remove every ounce of element away from her chakra. She nods hearing she'll be able to absorb other elements in her chakra that way. She smile at that and say to sensei.

"I am thankful for your teachings, I wish to become sannin or maybe something more like you when I get stronger. I hope to make you proud and plus learn other techniques in other arts that I can pass down to my students one day when I start teaching." She giggle after that and look at him.

Rika would nod her head at him then she would take out a sheet of paper that she had with her and set it to be lightening as she throw it in the air. She hold out her left hand again and start focusing on the technique of the elemental sphere technique again. Rika then would start to created her chakra trying to leave it pure white as it gather into a ball, only a bit of dark element would be left in it which made her frown as she would throw her ball at the paper and it again turn to dark and yellow chakra.

She would sigh and look at the chakra ball as it fade out. She would then look at her sensei and ask him.... "Where did I go wrong sensei?"

I would stand there and smile, looking into my sister's eyes, exchanging the emotions and deepness running through them. I was then led away to be taught another technique. And if I heard correctly it was going to be a favorite of Kazuki-sensei's. This was it, the training at last. I'm going to be strong.

"Hm, after image technique. Didn't you use that on me when I was trying to get the bell from you before?" I had remembered from earlier. And I was going to learn this, this was exciting. I would stand there and watch carefully, my eyes were keen ones. However as I was now, and as he had come so far in that technique already, it was hard for me to follow him. And the after image was a bit confusing to the eye, but it was cool. I was ecstatic to learn something like this, this was truly an honor. And this was going to make me faster. I did as told. I focused the chakra in my legs, and closed my eyes for concentration. I was concentrating them even more. This one might take a little while to get. It's true I was a fast learner, but I just needed some time to master this.

"Here, we go. I can do this. I can do this, alright! After image technique!"

I said dashing only slightly fast. The armor was slowing me down, but I could do this nonetheless. I was going to push through this, and push through this I shall. I was going to become stronger, I was going to become Kage, and eventually a Sannin. My dreams, and goals, all accomplished. ^-^

The 2nd kazuki watched and took note of Sora's progress as he gave her tips everynow and then to help her out. "Focus more on where your point of entery will be. If you do the technique right ,but only end up being to the side of them then the technique wont work so well.
______________________________________---
"well like i said last time rika you need to completly purify your chakra to the point where there is no trace of your element in it. Dont worry this is a very very hard thing to do and it takes a while for people to get used to it but you will get it i am sure. Kazuki smiled.


Several Days of training later Kazuki became incredibly happy with the level of skill his students have achived in the advanced jutsu he was teaching both of them.

As she would practice through the next serveral days only getting a few hours of sleep from time to time. She would yell out at sensei finally one day and show him a pure chakra white ball in her hands as she would flicker up a lighter she found in the market one day lighting a paper like he did when he first show Rika the technique. She then trace her chakra towards her hands creating the chakra ball again leaving pure whiteness as she would throw it up at the ball and then push the chakra with the wind blowing around her body as she relaxes letting go of the tensions in her body muscle as she yells out. "elemental sphere technique"

She would watch with a smile after the chakra ball absorb the fire from the paper into the ball then the wind would slam it towards the tree and create a huge hole eventually dispersing into the air. Rika then look at the sensei to see his reaction as she speaks. "How did I do just now? Have I grown stronger?" She look over at her sister then too to see how she was doing in her training and whether she notice Rika finally getting the hang of the wind element. At controling the wind around her, she would giggle as well as she walk over inspecting the clean cut hole.

I was definitely training hard over by where I was was. I took Kazuki-sensei's advice to heart again and was working hard at it. I was not going to give up till I got this technique ever. I stood there, time after time, panting, but not giving up. I always kept trying, and trying harder. I had gotten no hours of sleep over the course of the days that had passed. I was busy working on toning up my body, and mastering this technique. Each night, when they were asleep, I'd do 100 pushups, 100 situps, and 100 pullups. 2 laps around the village, and then head back to work on the jutsu, After Image Technique. I was panting, and I looked, worn, beaten and tired, but nevertheless, I did not give up or in, I was determined to figure this jutsu out, and work at it.

After the days would pass by, the endless days and the sleepless nights, I got it, mastered fully and completely. The after image technique was now mine to use forever and ever. I dashed and then dashed again leaving behind an image of myself just as Kazuki instructed. I had worked hard, was still working hard at it. I mastered it, but I seemed to wanna be faster. I knew how to do the technique, and I kept focusing every ounce of chakra in my body to my legs, every last bit of will I had went into this technique. I was beaten up, and totally exhausted, but I did not give up. I continued to work at it, until I stood there panting, and finally plopped down on the grasses, bleeding from the mouth, and dirt over my face, one eye closed. I smiled softly and said weakly, in an exhausted tone...

"Finally, the after image technique. I did it. Heh." I was completely out of strength now. I just lay there on the soft grass, and closed my eyes, sprawled out under the sun, I went to sleep. I did it, I mastered the after image technique!

"alright you two you both have done great mastering techniques that are very very unique in characteristics. Rika you have gotten so much better at controling your chakra. Sora you have increased your speed and strength already more then you already know." Kazuki chuckled to himself. "Together you two defend the other's weakness. If one is weak in the mind the other defends that weakness. If the other is weak in the body the other will be right their pushing the enemy back. Hehe you two really have gotton stronger together. Now though It is time for you two to have a break because the next step of your training will be much harder and more difficult then you can ever imagine." Kazuki said as he plopped on the ground heating up the soup that he and his students have been eating for the past 3 days.

Rika was ever so glad to hear it was break time through when she saw the soup brought out again by Kazuki she would frown and she was sweating in her armor. "Aw, soup again? I'm gone into the deeper part of the forest, going find something else to eat. I'm tired of soup, I want some berries or something." She went off to hunt some nutritious things to eat.

Kazuki groaned then laughed a little as he carefully spooned some soup into Sora's mouth getting her to eat something.

Rika would walk towards the village shop first and buy some cold milk, water and some cold already cook meat, with some apples too. This was to bring back supplies for the other two as they were all getting tired of living off of soup she could tell. As she walk back to her sensei and sister quickly she would run across a berry tree. "Yummy berries, I am sure that sister and sensei would like these. Owee!" she said as she prick herself on the arm when she bend down to the ground to start picking some.

Some bleeding started coming out her arm and she worry about that as she would quickly pick some berries and put them in the little bag she had with the milk and meat. She then would stand up and walk the rest of the way back to the area they been staying at the last few weeks. She notice that Sora was pass out and Rika figure she better do some wrapping around her arm before she woke up.

Rika would set down the supplies that she got first, then stood in front of sensei and whisper to him "Do you have any bandages? I need to cover this bleeding up before sister comes too. She hates blood and gets sort of woozy so I can't let her see it or else she'll be knock out again." as she show him the left arm of her's where the bleeding was start to trickle down her arm towards her wrist.

Kazuki smiled as he took off his Sannin cloak and folded it up to make a make-shift pillow for sora as he lifted her head and rested it on his foalded cloak. He also grabbed his jacket and wrapped it around his student as a blanket. He knoticed his other student's return and her perdicament. "hmm i dont have any bandages but how about this?" Kazuki removed his shikimori headband and tied it around her arm tightly but not enough so that it hurt. With the headband already being red the blood wouldn't soak through it."Is that good Rika?" Kazuki asked smiling.

She nodded and smile. "While I was away I got a few supplies. It's time we stop having soup all the time, I know we are tired of living off of it so I went and got some cold already cook meat, bread, water and milk, as well apples. Plus I found some berries for us to eat now as dessert for tonight, we'll save the apples for another time." She smile at him again hoping she did alright for the supplies as she sit down by her sister.

She would look at her and smile laying down on the grass beside her. She thinks in her mind ~Me and Sister did awesome technique's mastering them. This will be great knowledge in the future for my own kids or even students. I just hope that the sensei of ours will continue to teach us till he can't teach us no more.~ She would smile after thinking that and close her eyes taking a bite of a berry in her hand.

"these are pretty nice i admit" Kazuki said smiling as he added the cold meat to a frying pan and heated it up and cooked it with some wild vegetables. In just a couple minutes kazuki had created a large meal consisting of meat and vegetables. "hehe you two deserve a treat" kazuki smiled.

Opening her eyes she sniffs the nice meat that was snizzling away and the veggies. "Smells yummy Kazuki, I'm stave. I'll be happy to go for supplies more often during our training days as well sensei." She had sat up then and smile even bigger happy with her sensei as well with her training. Rika decides to ask her sensei a favor.

"Hey sensei, can you teach me more on letting out bigger portions of chakra but too where I won't faint often? I have a problem with that, especially after spars. Plus I want to learn different arts, different from my sister. I want to master different techniques plus jutsu's too where I can protect that village I came from when I head back there. The hidden Ash village is where I mean, where my brother.... resides as kage right now."

She knew it was a lot to take in but she was glad to finally let it out from her heart. She was enjoying training and wanted harder training and more practicing control. Rika like the controling techniques better than anything else because they help her plan her moves and keep them under control. She stood up then and went over to sniff the veggies and meat some more.

Then Rika went over and pour a little cold milk for Sora to drink as she went opening Sora's mouth. She would pour it down Sora's mouth carefully and slowly as it will be good for her to gain back some strength from the hard training they done. ~There you are my sister, now rest before you awaken again for more food and training~

Kazuki didn't look up from the meal he was cooking as he awnsered his student's question. "Of course I have the perfect technique to show you but for now lets just eat and let sora wake up before we try anything else okay?" Kazuki finally looked up smiling as he gave a plate of meat and vegetables with some wild rice to Rika.

"Good sensei, and yes we will let Sora rest." She took her plate and sit on a rock in the field away staring at her food as she picks at it first unsure about whether this will be right to eat then she took a bite of it. "Yummy..." was all she said before digging into the plate and eating all of it.

The scent of the cooked food, it smelled so good, and it was so delicious smelling to my nostrils. I sniffed and then slowly began to flutter my eyes open. I woke up, as my hand started to twitch a little, and I sat up putting my hand to my forehead, and then rubbing my eyes, I would have fully awakened. I smiled as I was sitting up, and noticed the Sannin cloak under my head. I thought that was real considerate of Kazuki to do, and so I would have to pay him back someday, and show I was dedicated to training as I was. And so I would right after this meal. I was hungry!

"Oh, I'm so huuuuunnnnggggrrrryyyyy!!!!!" I said holding my stomach, and it growling, I made a groaning sound that elongated the hungry syllable. So it extended to make it sound more like whining. And as I sat up and smelled the cooking food, I smiled at Rika, and look her in the eyes. The only thought in my head right now was: 'You truly are my sister, aren't you? I mean, I felt the part that was missing is not missing anymore. I feel as though I am not alone anymore. And, just as we fight together, we die together.' I smiled completely my thought. I then got up and put the Sannin cloak on, just trying it on. I giggled, and it was only slightly big on me.

"So this is how it feels to be a Sannin huh?" ^^

Kazuki walked over to Sora with a plate of the freshly cooked meal and smiled. "Yeah its a lot of hard work though."Kazuki chuckled.

She would look over at Kazuki and motion to him that she'll be off in the circle of tree's nearby. She walked away leaving her empty plate and relax. She was planning on mediating for a bit and concerted on her chakra control some more. Rika end up a few minutes later arriving at the tree's and step in between the two of them setting out a few candles she didn't tell her sensei about and light them with her lighter she found.

Rika would then sat down in the center of the tree's and close her eye's focusing on the chakra inside of herself, at the center of the body. She would think to herself ~Control the chakra in a small little ball that appear in your hand like the technique sensei taught us. Make it pure and not mix with elements.~ She hold out her left hand just like before and start making a pure white ball full of her chakra there. Then she would just keep it there, controlling it to not let it out of the ball shape she perfect it to be.

After a little while she would open her eyes and stare at the ball wondering why exactly she always fail in spars. Fainting afterwards, its great that kazuki will help her with that. She would crush the chakra ball at last by throwing it in the air towards a branch which made a hole in it. She deicded she needed to do some fist movements if she was ever going to learn taijutsu.

So Rika would tighten her fists and start punching at one of the tree's making her knuckles bleed but getting stronger in her hands and getting use to the pain at the same time. She knew this will help her grow in her stamina as well while working at her punching like back in the academy for taijutsu art. After awhile she would and think of her sister.

~Sister, you don't know it yet. But you are stronger than me. You had more training than I have. Plus you were not held back by who raise you up like me.~ She smile after thinking that and resume to punch the tree again. She felt her little muscles in her hands being sore but as well growing stronger as she practice on the tree.

"ALRIGHT YOU TWO COME OVER HERE" Kazuki yelled since rika walked away. "We are about to enter the next step of your training" Saying this kazuki pulled out four armbands, and held them up smiling.

She would hear her sensei and sigh's ~Guess I done enough for now. Better get back and see what sensei wants. He doesn't have to yell all the time through.~ She roll her eyes before she blew out the candles leaving them there and walk back over to Kazuki.

She would say "So what is our next training sensei? Oh by the way, you know you don't have to yell so loudly, I can hear perfectly well." She would bow respectively as he is the one she has the most respect for right now. Rika as well crack a smirk as she waited on her sensei's instructions.

Kazuki smirked and gave Rika two wrist bands. "Put those on my student" Kazuki smirked devilishly.
