How [Tutor]

[Kishiko Nagisa]

Kenshin would summon Ziren to the forest of death via a letter explaining that this was to be a mock battle with a very special opponent. Kenshin would wait in the forest remember his spar with Yukio. That was a match that almost ended with serious injury to both sides but Kenshin was of sound mind enough to call it before then. Still that fight was worth reliving. Trading blow for blow only taijutsu masters could do.

Eventually Ziren would arrive and see Kenshin in his standard black workout attire.

"Right so let's begin shall we? First a simple recap of our last lesson please. Then give me a synopsis of your fighting style. I know you use blood but anything else? It will confirm your foe. I will not be fighting you directly in this fight." Kenshin would ask his eyes flashing in the sunlight.

Ziren was summoned. This time, his meeting with the Sennin was in the Forest of Death. He wore a white shirt and blue jeans. He still wore the glove sleeve on his left arm, the metal arm. His permanent bloodified eyes scanned the area. It was a force of habit that he had, assessing the situation before making himself known. Something that the ANBU had taught him on doing.

He dropped down from a tree and listened to what Kenshin had to say. He wanted a review of about last lesson. Along with knowing what kind of fighting style Ziren has.

"Last lesson we have talked about what it means to lay your life down for the Village. It doesn't mean to just give yourself up. But to live, to keep giving it all on your duties and lay the groundwork for the generations to come after me. To have goals and a purpose."

Ziren paused, as he thought about his own kind of fighting style. "You are right that I use my blood. I can make them into various weapons. Turn some water based and nonelemental justsus into blood with no effort. Along with having water, nonelemental, and blood justsus, I also have unlocked earth and crystal type justsus. I can heal my wounds without using justsus, through various ways. The type of weapons that I use are Slashing, throwing, unarmed, and puppet. Though slashing and unarmed are my main means of taijustsu. I only know a few Genjustu, since that isn't my forte."

He paused. Well, if he was going to be truthful for an effective kind of spar, he will need to say this next part especially. "I am also a Dark Sage. Forbidden practice of dealing with the dead. Despite how dark and sinister it may be, my only intentions of using this kind of power is for good. I believe that the person makes who they are. I believe that there isn't just a spectrum of black and white, but a big area of grey, one that means that there is balance in some areas, and chaos in others."

Ziren stopped talking. He was kind of getting off topic, seeming as he thinks this lesson is not going to be just talking as the last one. He waited to see what the Sennin had to say of what was put out in front of him.

Kenshin would look at Ziren and assess his words. A mixture of ninjutsu and taijutsu. Common enough. And he has some strong extra abilities. This was good to know.

"Since you are... or were training to be ANBU that makes sense about your view on morality. I do not hold it against you and in kind I will explain my skills. I am a taijutsu master in this village but a unique one for you see I specialize in Genjutsu as well. Normally, as you know genjutsu is conveyed via eyesight and sometimes via the ear. I have very fine control over my chakra, so fine that with each hit I can inflict a genjutsu through my fists if I so want. This makes my punches extremely dangerous. I can also open the 8 chakra gate limiters to push my body beyond its peak form. With this, my taijutsu is extremely deadly. If you know the one called Yukio ask him about our spar. Anyway enough about me. Here is your opponent. "

Kenshin would make some handsigns, bite the thumb, and a poof of smoke later a large wolf would appear.

Spoiler

The wolf, around 8 feet in length with shaggy black fur would shake his head and then look at Ziren. Ziren would notice that the right ear seemed a little discolored and lacked fur. The wolf was also wearing a scabbard on its side with a dark handle protruding.

"Who's the pup?" the wolf would ask in a gruff voice.

"Fenrir this is Ziren. You will be testing Ziren's combat abilities like you do mine but be nice." Kenshin would say his voice stern.

The wolf would look back at Kenshin an ear would flick back.

"I'm always nice. You are the one that is mean summoning me to fight this pup. I'll do but I won't be happy about it." fenrir said as he moved his head to the side. Form the scabbard a long black rapier appeared.

"Come at me pup." Fenrir said his words slightly muffled.

A giant wolf poofed into existence. Ziren was taken aback by it's sheer size. He then took control of his composure and looked at the wolf's features. Sure, it was big, but maybe it's size was there to make others fear it, to not think of other subtle features that it may have. The wolf wanted him to come at him, but he knew better than to just run into this fight blind. It's right ear looks to be damaged. And there was something on its side, a weapon of sorts.

He didn't know what to expect from this thing, so first things first, he out his hand to the ground, and bones from the earth, of people who has long been dead rose out to make a monster made of bones. A bone behemoth. It didn't stop there, it forged itself around Ziren to make a fortress of sorts to block any kind of attacks that might come his way. Now safe within his bone home, Ziren made some hand seals and outside of the fortress, crystals from deep in the ground started to appear. These crystals meshed together until a dragon glinted in the sunlight, it was that of obsidians.

Ziren let blood flow out of his right hand, making a scythe out of blood, the handle being six feet, and the blade itself aslo six feet.

"I'm not a pup. I am 21 years old, wolfie."

Kenshin would step back at the battle stared. It looks like he first made a bunch of defense techniques.

'Good, he knows how to defend is is cautious when facing an unknown enemy.'

Fenrir's blue eyes looked at this enemy before him.

"That is young in dog years pup. Try to keep up."

And Fenrir was off. As he ran form side to side Ziren would notice him using pawsigns very similar to handsigns. As he ran, something was dripping from his mouth. It would hit the ground with a sizzle. Then a surge of something red and bright came from his mouth and cloaked Fenrir so what was running towards ZIren was a massive lava coated wolf. The air around him grew hazy from the heat.

He ran towards Ziren noting the cage. More pawsigns and from Fenrir's mouth shot white hot lava that slammed into the fortress of bone surrounding Ziren melting the bone to ash in a second before Fenrir was right there.

Fenrir would move and strike at Ziren's legs a few time with the rapier in his mouth trying to break each leg. After a couple of swipes he backed off.

"Watch your legs pup." Fenrir said still muffled. There was a smile creeping in the wolf's lips.

Ziren looked at the wolf, waiting to see what it can do. Seeming as he does not know what it is capable of.

That was when he noticed something. Molten lava was covering the fur of his opponent. He let his blood go further out than just his weapon, but to actually cover himself in it as well. It hardened like an outer shell for him to have. And just as he had done that, the bone behemoth gave way and turned to ashes from the lava.

Ziren lept out of the way, but was hit by a paw from the wolf. He landed on his face, but didn't really feel anything with his blood chakra armor. He got back up. Just as the Obsidian Dragon crashed itself into the wolf.

Using this as an opportunity, Ziren got back up and switched his scythe out for some throwing scythes. He threw one to the ground which made a hole, disappearing for the time being, the other, he threw up, as it clicked and started to transform until another dragon, this one made of steel was formed. Steel Dragon.

"Now how about we cool you off so you can be a good boy." Ziren made another set of hand seals and then it started to rain. He wasted enough time poking at this wolf, seeing what makes it tick. Now, once he sees how it will react to what he has just done, then he will continue forth.

But for now, Ziren brought up another throwing scythes and threw it up in the air, it then cirlced around him, acting like a barrier of sorts. He will act soon. The rain was coming down, and his clothes were getting drenched. But he kept his eyes on the wolf.

Fenrir struck and and did some things but he was hit with a gemstone dragon. Kenshin smiled as he recognized that jutsu and used it against Fenrir before. As it began to rain, Fenrir growled. Kenshin knew Fenrir hated being wet and smiled. Well he made Fenrir mad enough which should be fun to watch.

Fenrir looked at the enemies on the field and the rain above. Eyes glaring, he would rush toward. He would bypass the Steel dragon recognizing the true threat. He ran, the rain hissing against his molten cloak. He pounced as he was forming handsigns and he would attempt to scribe a very familiar seal on Ziren Kiss of the Vampire . He would follow up with a flurry of piercing attacks that seemed ot hit as one (Trashin ) and quickly followed up with two more called shots to the legs, one each.

"You aren't the only one familiar with blood and its uses, pup." Fenrir would say backing up "and if I smell like wet dog after this you shall have to bathe me."

Kenshin laughed and Fenrir glared at him for a fraction of a second.

The wolf had no intention of fighting any of Ziren's creations, seeming as he knows the real threat is the one controlling them.

"You've got to be kidding me." Ziren brought out another throwing scythe, one if his styles that he wasn't as good as, but this wolf was keeping him on his toes, making him do things that are kind of last minute improvisations. As the wolf hit Ziren, Ziren was replaced with a body looking version of the scythes before flying out this way and that. Body Flicker shuriken.

The steel dragon sat by and waited as Ziren jumped on the back of the Obsidian Dragon. He recognized that justsu the wolf used. It was a blood justsu. Oh well, two can play that game.

Hand seals were made, the water from the rain was forming a giant figure. It was in the shape of a dragon. But Ziren wasn't going to stop there, no. Thanks to his Chigokai abilities, Crimson Water, the dragon turned red, the liquid became thick and stronger.

"Water Dragon Bullet. Is now Blood Dragon Bullet."

As the Blood Dragon Bullet crashes down to wear Fenrir was, his Steel Dragon then charged in afterwards. Ziren sat on his own Obsidian Dragon. He waited. Soon enough, if this darn dog doesn't force him to do something else, then he could be good.

Then again, that must be what Kenshin is hoping for, to get Ziren out of his comfort zone. He brought his hands up for the next set of hand seals to make. Staring down at the wolf in front of him that is showing no mercy to him.

Kenshin smiled. Fenrir was having fun. He could tell. The boy was sending dragon jutsu after dragon jutsu. The boy was on the defensive for the most part. He wasn't going to win that way. Or was winning the point of the test? Well time would tell about that.

Fenrir dodged the blood dragon and got hit with the steel dragon. It forced him to land and he skidded for a few feet before coming to a halt. The clone jutsu had made him miss but his other attacks were getting to the point of the matter. Fenrir smiled as he continued his assault. For a moment, Fenrir dropped his blade to latch onto Ziren's leg (Visceral Attack - Canine Contract Senjutsu) causing Ziren's left leg to feel as if it was broken at least for a short time. In a flash the black blade was back in his mouth and went diving towards Ziren attempting to pin his arms and legs to the ground with a series of thrown kunai the wolf had thrown form his mouth. (Piercing Pinholder) If the bind didn't work he would strike out with his sword but as the sword approach a claw made of blood would reach out and attempt to swipe at Ziren. (Drain Claw)

He would back up and wait for Ziren to counterattack breathing heavily. Fenrir was not smiling but his eyes were alight. Kesnhin was still evaluating Ziren. His next moves were being watched closely.

Ziren felt pain in his left leg, as the dog latched on to him. It had managed to get him off of his Obsidian Dragon. He fell to the ground, kunai stuck him into the ground, he looked up at the wolf, seeing as he was stuck.

But then a smile ran across his face. "Guess you are right when it comes to me just being a pup. Because you know what they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks." With that said, Ziren imploded, blood flying everywhere.

The real Ziren stepped out from behind a tree. He was surprised what Genjustu (False Surroundings) and a blood clone could do together. Especially since Genjustu wasn't exactly his kind of style. But he had set up for this moment. The ground underneath Fenrir burst open as the throwing scythe came out. Gravediggers Hole. Wether it hit or missed, Ziren brought out his own Scythe made of blood. And now for his own kind of combo. Both of the dragons charged, blocking off a side step escape as Ziren charged head on. First he used his scythe for Higuma, slicing a total of seven times, immediately following it up with kill driver, another ten slashes.

He let the blood scythe go back into him and blood spikes came out of his body. With this, he followed that up with 16 hit combo. But this was starting to wear him out. Especially since Fenrir did manage to hit him right before he cast the Genjustu earlier.

He didn't look to see if he had hit with any of his attacks. Ziren jumped back out of the way, and landed a few yards away from the wolf. That last bit kind of drained him. If that didn't work, then Ziren would have to really rethink his plans. He controlled his breathing. This is sure a pain. Was it his imagination or did his rain stop? He looked over at his two creations, which were now in a heap of metal and crystals. The Liquid Armor he had, the blood fell off of his body and to the ground.

Welp. He has ran out of his normal chakra, and is now having to depend on his corrupted chakra reserves. He guessed that's what he gets for trying to be all showey.

Kenshin watched Fenrir be confused with a genjutsu and a clone. He was always weak to that not that he would admit it.

Fenrir avoided the trap with ease but took the brunt of the dragons. The physical attacks he would partly dodge but Ziren would feel the burn when he used the 16 hit combo against he lava wolf. Kenshin would notice that Ziren was running out of chakra fast. Fenrir was still pretty ok chakra wise but he had been hit pretty hard. The wolf was limping slightly as he moved.

"Fenrir disable." Kenshin said from the outskirts.

Fenrir nodded for a second and lunged again. He went for the right leg this time and clamped down upon it and then proceeded to attempt to break Ziren's arms and legs with slashes from his rapier. Forward, left, right, diagonal Fenrir would slash and hack. He was breathing heavy but Ziren would notice that the blue eyes were focused on the kill. While capable of speech this wolf wanted to cause pain. It was a fight like any other fight.

The question would be, however, would the lesson sink in before before the wolf's teeth did?

Looks like Ziren's little plan did work. Though he did have some burn marks still from when he hit the wolf's magma mane. Even though he wasted his regular chakra, and now having to depend on his corrupted chakra, he did notice that he faired better than he thought. Fenrir was limping kind of. It was barely noticeable but Ziren could see it.

And then he heard a single command from Kenshin. Disable? Isn't Ziren kind of disabled right now with using up his regular chakra enough? And then the wolf charged and took hold of his right leg. Damnit! How could he think that a slightly injured enemy move just as fast as if they weren't injured. He made some small quick hand seals. It was something that nobody would be able to see. Though maybe the wolf might notice some changes. Skeletal fortification. His bones were getting stronger. He knew that if he can't perform hand seals it will be over. So he had to do this.

In this chaos Ziren realized something. Fenrir was no longer holding back. As if he wanted to test Ziren apart, limb from limb. That thought came to mind in just one second. He punched the wolf's snout, probably one of the most unorthodox, but simplest ways to go about things. After that, he performed his next set of hand seals. Blood boil. It is hard to do this with focus when he was being ripped to shreds, theoretically speaking, but either way if it worked or not, he then performed his next set of hand seals. Blood Break. The ultimate justsu of the Chigokai clan. They are known for their sinister use of blood, and this is no exception. In fact, this is what probably made them famous. If done right, the opponent would feel their blood stop. Frozen in place as they also cannot move. A bind that goes to controlling the very person's, or wolf's blood.

If Ziren had succeeded in stopping Fenrir's blood flow. He was then wriggle out of the great wolf's jaws and stand up. If not he would make a water based Rasengane and push it into Fenrir's face.

Right now, the only thing that is keeping him moving is the adrenaline that is pumping through his own blood, and his corrupted chakra reserves. He had a feeling that if he didn't have this reserve of corrupted chakra, he would have lost this little "spar".

Fenrir would claw and rake at Ziren. It was then that he was caught in a bind his own blood being turned against him. He would attempt to howl and struggle. He was going to get Ziren. It was going to be short and brutal and.

"Enough. Fenrir back down." Kenshin called and the wolf, breaking free of the bind merely sat. The molten cloak that was around him was disappearing. He was panting heavily.


Kenshin would make another series of hand movements and there was another poor. small blue toad would appear and it would hop over to Fenrir and a green glow would come from her hands.

"You did well against Fenrir but you also failed a portion of this tutor. Think back to the start of the lesson. What did I ask you to do.?" Kesnhin would wait for the response and regardless of if he got it, Kenshin would plow on. "You knew that Fenrir was getting feisty and worked up. I could tell he wanted to really hurt you. You were low on chakra and barely scrapping by. I had wanted to see your new viewpoint in action. Still, you did well and you pased. What have you learned? What could you have done differently? I don't want answers think of that yourself. The next time we meet it will be for your exam and it will be back in my office. I will call for you when you are ready. Ren here will heal you before you leave.Your chakra will heal on its own. Fenrir you are dismissed." Kesninh looked over to Fenrir who was looking a lot better.

Fenrir looked at Ziren and nodded solemnly. He gave a half smile and poofed out. The tiny blue toad would hop over to Ziren and heal all of his physical wounds. She too would disappear.

"Look for my next letter." Kenshin would say and he turned away to leave. Hopefully ther lesson sunk in.

[Chigokai Yuna]

It turned out that Ziren was actually successful with his next plan of action. Blood Break. Then Kenshin spoke again, this time, he told Fenrir to stop. In which the wolf listened to him.

He noticed a small blue toad come into existence. But his focus was on Kenshin. He told him that he failed a part. Ziren wanted to argue, but there would be no use. Even the best of people fail. It's just what they do after they fail that determines what kind of person they really are.

Nevertheless he had passed the lesson as a whole. But the Sennin's words echoed in his mind. Their first lesson, ended up talking about laying your life down for the Village, meaning to live. To not just give in. He guessed that was where he made his mistake. If he is in the middle of a fight, he can't just back down. His pride is what stops him from doing that. Maybe it was humiliation? He guessed that maybe he should have stopped and tried to call off the fight. Since he knew that Fenrir was just getting more and more violent as the fight went on. Live to fight another day.

His own healing factor was doing its job when the toad named Ren hopped by him and was using some medical justsu to speed up that healing process.

After she went poof, and Ziren was left in the Forest of Death all alone, he sat by and thought about everything. He never really thought of having humility as a strength or a weakness, as he has a lot of pride, but also hard headed.

He looked at his gloved hand, the fake metal one. Maybe it was also time to stop hiding this from society as well. Ziren took the glove sleeve off of his metal arm and sat there for a minute, reflecting on life. He let out a big sigh, as he got up from where he was sitting and walked back to where he lives.
