Getting in the days training (Ongoing)

[Sunaku Shikai]

Sunaku Shikai spend much of his time in the city so getting in a days training where he actually buckled up and not just did physical training while spying on people became rarer and rarer. Nevertheless it was time to do some target practising with thrown weapons.

Shikai want to the back of the academy with his weapons in hand. He knew that there were target dummies there, so instead of spending any effort setting up a track he just used whatever was there. Turns out some of the targets were not in plain sight from the circle marked as the spot one was to throw from.

First of he went at the easy targets, though still being a novice he had to give it a few tries before he could hit anything but the edge of the target. After collecting his kunais he proceeded tot try again. He went through four sets of throwing and collecting before he was able to finally score a bulls eye. Being satisfied with the results he proceeded to try and hit targets with obstacles in between which quickly proved too much for him. He had clearly bitten of more than he could chew.

Instead he switched target to some without obstacles but further away, but after an hour he had still not hit a bulls eye yet, although hitting the target around the center proved possible. By then he had worked up quite the sweat from applying extra for to get the kunai to fly long enough to not just plunge into the ground in front of the target.

Calling it a days work and planning to come back for more he left the practice area somewhat satisfied with the days results. At least he now knew his limits. Now it was time for a well earned bath before heading back into down town.

[Sunaku Shikai]

Now that Shikai had his Janken down and had some help from his mother training it was time to get in some Ninjutsu. Just the basics like Transformation and Body Switch. Useful abilities even though they are low level.

First off was theBody switch. He had gotten a scroll from his mother on how to manipulate the chakra to make him chance places with a wooden dummy that was sort of summoned out of nowwhere. He didn't get much of the summoning part but the scroll had a three step practice regime. First he needed to visualize being hit as actually getting hit would yield more wounds than progress. Then he had to mold his chakra according to the instructions and finally he would release it all to swap places with the dummy.

Sweat on the brows he praticed for hours before feeling the right time to release. He had trouble geting the right flow to get the swap to actually happen. What he found most diffcult was the timing. He could get it to swap but to begin with but getting it instant took some time. But after three hours of trying to visualize getting hit he was finally able to swap at the right time.

The Transformation went a bit easier. It did not require the same timing but rather more molding of chakra in the right way. First he wanted to pratice turning into other people. Objects could wait. Who would he try first. His mother. He took the scroll and followed the instructions. First he visualized his new form, then he molded the chakra, and then he released it.

"Henge!"

Had it worked. He looked down. Still only had two arms. He found a puddle of water and looked into it. He saw his mothers face but with one eye different from the other. So he had not succeeded hiding his tell tail condition and he did not copy the most distinct thing about his mother but other than that not bad for a first try. He tried a couple of times before desiding to take a break and get some water.

Afterwards with a clear head and freshly hydrated he tried again. This time he went for trying to match one of the other Academy students he saw in class the other day. Less arms and so on.

"Henge!"

He found the puddle again. This time he nodded at himself. It was not perfect but it was a step in the right direction. It looked like them except for the eyes who were still in two difference colours. At least they looked like Hyuuga eyes just without the right colouring. He desided to keep praticing and try to copy a classmate completely. After an hour he got one with the right eyes and shape. Then he remembered that he should proably mold different clothes as well. Another hour went by before the clothes resembled what they had worn in class. Then back to try to mold more arms like his mothers.

"Henge!"

Again he went to the puddle. This time he saw his mothers face looking back at him. Right height and build, even the clothes were there. And the arms. He had the arms as well. He knew they would not be strong since he had no additional arms to give the transformation something to work with but it seemed enough for now.

Happy with the result he looked at the sun which had turned from up in the sky to half way below the horizon. He decided to call it a day and go home for dinner.

[Sunaku Shikai]

Shikai walked through the front door to the academy and went to the file room to look up some new moves. Finding scrolls on lightning jutsu he began to read it through. Hr focused on two particular moves. One would allow him to fight multiple opponents while the other focused on single target but had an edge against people who used barriers and for people who would use it in melee.

Using all six arms to help carry the load, Shikai took a few training dummies into the training area in the back and set them up. He would need more than one for the first training.

So lets get this Thundercclap under control

He formed the seals and molded the chakra just like the scroll had said and suddenly he found himself in the midst of about 40 lightning strikes. Some of them would hit the dummies and some of them would carpet bomb the area around. He kept activating it to learn of its nature and found that multiple lightning strikes could go for the same target but a maximum of three would hit it, which meant that in case of a defensive opponent it had a high chance, almost 100%, of landing three strikes but a 0% to land more. It was just a matter of how many strikes would miss before three hits occurred. That would determine how many were left to hit other targets.

Moving on Shikai started frying dummies with his other new move. It had a harder time landing an actual hit but when it did, it had more destructive force to it and he knew that for just a little more chakra he could bypass damage reduction by channelling it in his fist and striking in melee. He had tried it on one of the dummies and the wood had splintered not that it had no hardness to resist the attack, Shikai also knew that he could pierce barriers with it but he did not have a barrier to pierce so that part would have to wait for a bit longer. For now he would just have to do with what he had

After the days training he wiped his sweat of his forehead and hit the local bathhouse before going home.
