[Sorry for the delay, I've been swarmed suddenly with a bunch of issues in real life. If I find I'm still not able to drop something in the next 24 hours, I'll reach out to another sensei to continue the class. Apologies for the inconvenience to all.]
Ninpocho Chronicles
Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.
Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.
Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.
The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.
This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

"Yes...mhm...right...I understand...hey these things happen, don't sweat it...yep...got it, thanks....you too, Denrei," said the head of the medical branch as he got off his set with another teacher who had called him stating he needed him to come to the classroom that he was in and take over. It most certainly was not the first time that another teacher had to set aside due to the village calling him for another matter that was seemingly more important. It wasn't a big deal however as Kyuji was already in the Academy doing paperwork for new transfers and grading classwork that some students had turned in to their teachers after learning a great deal hopefully. Luckily, he was in a good mood when he got the ring that he was needed for a class and within minutes of the call, he saw the figure that was teaching pass his office while he was heading out to the classroom on the fourth floor. On the way there, he would see that villagers were finally patching the hole in the wall that Miroka Riyota caused when he was sent flying through it during a Cabel sympathizer's attack on him, Samejima and Kyuji.
Within mere moments after seeing the repairs on the wall, he was standing outside the classroom that he was suppose to go into. He had no information on the class size nor what the students were suppose to be learning about since he had not been provided any information at all. In other words, he was going to be winging the class much like he had done with his examination for his newly formed squad members. Hopefully, he would formulate an idea of what to do once he entered as he pressed on the door and was met by three students that looked eager to learn but were so young looking compared to the students that he had taught. They didn't look much older than 10 while most of the others he had taught had been at least 12-13 and some even 15! This was certainly going to be interesting.
He would walk over to the desk in front of the classroom sitting on top of it looking at each one of them with a smile on his face as he introduced himself: "Hello Class. Your instructor had to go due to unforeseeable circumstances so I will be taking over. My name is Byakko Kyuji, the descendant of Byakko and a member of the Toraono Clan. Please introduce yourselves, tell me why you want to be a shinobi and what you guys were learning before I came into the room." He would then lean back on the desk and await their responses. He was wearing exactly what is pictured in the spoiler, which was not his usual attire. His normal attire was a bloodied medical robe with his clan and the village's emblems on the shoulders on either side. His eyes and body seemed relax and he didn't look overly excited quite yet like he usually got when he got going.

Hansame was still smiling, but was slightly confused when the new teacher came in. He smiled regardless, but wondered what the old teacher had to do. Contemplating whether of not to ask, the optimistic blond shook his head a little bit and brushed off that thought. He gave a small wave to their new teacher and looked at the neko ears and the overall cat likeness that the teacher had with eyes of amazement. He was lost in thought to wonder about their teacher Kyuji and his background, but his focus was brought back to the class when the cat eared teacher spoke again, asking them to introduce themselves, state their name, purpose, and what they had learned previously in the class. Looking around and seeing no one really standing up to go first, the small blond child stood up and smiled before beginning.
"My name is Ehime Hansame, and i want to become a Shinobi to protect people, and to make sure that justice is served. In class, er, we learned about what it means to be a Shinobi, the Nature and history of Chakra, a-and we discussed a method that people used to train Shinobi, which was cutting out all emotions and their conscious, and the faults of that." He said with a nod before sitting back down.

He said with a nod before sitting back down.
As Naki sat in his desk, it would appear that Denrei had something sudden come up. So he had to exit the class which was rather unfortunate. On the other hand, another instructor was going to fill in for them! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad! He could be really nice! Right?? Kicking his feet back and forth waiting for the instructor to walk in, he sighed growing rather impatient. "Ughhh where is he..." He plopped his head down, but just as soon as his head hit the table, he immediately threw it back up hearing the sensei walk in. The instructor examined the three for a few mere moments. It gave Naki an uneasy feeling for some reason. Soon, Kyujji made his way to the teacher's desk. The only sounds in the room were his footsteps as he made his way towards the desk. Sitting on top of it, he asked for introductions, our motives for becoming Shinobi, and what we learned prior to Kyujji joining the class. What surprised Naki was that Kyujji was a member of the Toraono Clan as well! It made him more eager, and maybe a little anxious, to stand up and introduce himself.
Naki was about to stand up before Hansame introduced himself first. Naki frowned at the blonde child. "...show off..." He mumbled lowly. Sure, it may have not been his intention to go up first, but Naki's always been out done in his past life. So he couldn't help but feel jealous that Hansame went first. Once he sat down, Naki immediately stood up wasting no time at all just so he could go before Niku. Naki looked at the instructor blinking a few times. "Uh...um..." Clearing his throat and scratching his head, he began to introduce himself after hesitating the first time. "My name is Toraono Naki. Why do I want to become a Shinobi? I don't want to just 'become' a shinobi, I want to become the BEST shinobi! The BEST Shinobi who ever lived in fact! It's because I want to prove myself to EVERYONE and show what I can really do!" Then he realized he had to answer the last question. He didn't want to lose that awesome speech he gave the instructor by saying 'i was late'. His eyes widened a bit as an idea just popped into his head. A grin curled on his face as he decided to go with his little lie. "I wasn't here on time because I was busy fighting off criminals robbing a sushi shop~~ so I was a bit late..." The Toraono child said slyly. This would go out so perfectly!

-Shimi merely sat for a while, crossing his arms and leaning back with his chair into a comfortable position. He watches his new sensei walk towards his old teachers position, seated upon the desk, with the tension clinging to the air. The tension vanishes upon the notice of the feline traits. Huh... Kinda cute actually. Odd concept for a ninja though, somewhat difficult to disguise. He raises his eyebrow slightly at the declaration of ancestors. Now genuinely curious Shimi returns to a proper seated position, only now noting the name of teacher into his head. He waits patiently for the other two to go first, not particularly caring at this point, but getting genuine amusement from Naki's reactions to being slower on the draw than Hansame. He considered popping up slightly before he finished, making him go next, but figured it wasn't worth the effort just to annoy a classmate. When his turn finally arrives he stands up, almost lazily at this point due to the slowness this class had recently taken on.-
"Hello teach, names Shimi Niku. I want to be a shinobi in hopes of creating something useful for everyone else, whether that be a technique or strategy I do not care, and as Hansame said we were being taught about chakra and mental states. Also, please forgive the tardiness due to... Naki's 'heroism'."
-Niku smiles, a smile only few would be able to tell was genuine unless it was looking at them, and it was now looking at Naki-
"After all, what would we do without our fine [Under breath] desert sushi shops?"
(As a note for the future, I will purposely go after people sometimes. If I notice they haven't gone in the first 36 hours I will notify the teacher, that this was my plan... I hope something can be arranged them.)

The man who was a demigod listened intently as each individual student introduced themselves to him and responded in their own unique way to his question about why they wanted to be a shinobi in this dangerous and often bloody world. Each response to his question was genuine and not rehearsed which brought a smile to his face as they continued to describe what they had learned from their previous sensei who had to take a leave so quickly. His mind was absorbing the concepts that had been taught to them and quite honestly that lesson was a boring and useless one to teach to this new age of shinobi. These kids needed excitement and involvement in their classroom if they were going to go anywhere and if they truly were going to learn anything. Yes, it was good to learn the basics and the background about becoming a shinobi, but those textbooks were so old and outdated from how society was ran nowadays that they should be taken with a tongue and cheek.
At this time, their sensei shifted his weight to get himself up from his relaxed position to stand in front of them all. He also would yank a mask out from one of his many pouches that he had hidden under his cloak along with a syringe. These two items would be held in separate hands right beside his face as he began to talk to them: "You all have interesting and valid reasons to become shinobi. I honestly cannot say that any one of you is wrong with your answer, but I will tell you that I hope your former sensei informed you of why we don't follow that method of being a shinobi anymore that you mentioned, Hansame. It is so outdated and doesn't keep up with societal norms anymore, but it does have valid points if you take it in the contents of when the texts were written for that form of training. But anyways, I am not going to be teaching you how to become a shinobi as there are numerous ways that one can be a shinobi and learn to be one. Some of you might consider hand-to-hand combat or weapons as your preferred fighting style. Some of you may consider to use illusions and mind games to outwit your opponent and leave them dazed and confused while some of you may consider using one or more natures of ninjutsu. So, I cannot really tell you what path to go, but I can help you down whatever path you decide to choose."
He would then take a short breath before continuing onto his next part of his lecture for now: "Now, you may ask why I have a syringe and a mask on either side of my face. Let me explain, you take away the mask and syringe and I am just a normal shinobi or someone who doesn't specialize in a specific job in the village. A normal shinobi who goes into the main branch would be involved in general missions and teaching among other jobs that are generalized jobs in my mind. Now if you take the mask, you have decided to help with intel and recon missions for the village by joining the ANBU. Not everyone is cut down for the ANBU as you will be asked to do and see many things that will turn your stomach or question if it is morally right to be doing this. On the other hand, you could choose to go into the medical branch of the village which is symbolized with this syringe here. Much like the ANBU branch, you are going to see many things that you probably will not want to see, but it comes with the job. Some of the things you could see is people dying on the operating table while you are trying to save them, excessive bleeding, vomiting, and poison to name a few. By deciding on one branch, it does not mean that the other two are not important to the village as we all need to cooperate or the village is going to structurally collapse. But, I am not up here to preach to you nor tell you which branch to decide upon at this time. You all are still young and still becoming educated on the village so don't worry yourself sick about these decisions right now. However, you will get brownie points if you join the medical branch as I am the head of the council that is currently running it." He would then sit back down on the desk placing the items back into their respective pouches before saying: "Any questions thus far?"
[OOC: Please have next post done by 12 PM forum time on Saturday. You guys are all doing well, this is all a learning experience and nobody will fail probably so go ahead and try things out.

Hansame barely got to the his seat when he saw Naki shoot up from his own seat, and Hansame could almost swear he saw a strange look on his classmate's face. Shaking it off and getting notes ready to record the responses of the fellow would be shinbone for future reference, as well as to get to know them better, something he planned to do later. Listening to Naki's aspiration for becoming a Shinobi, Hansame felt rather impressed, even though the reason was slightly cliche from the books he had read, Hansame felt like he could feel the determination from the boy as he stood up so quickly and focused. When Hansame heard the part about the sushi shop, he stared with a slightly opened mouth and starry eyes in amazement at the heroism that the boy spoke of. Taking more notes on Naki's brave deeds with a new sheet of paper, Hansame looked positively starstruck at Naki.
He then turned to Shimi as he turned and hear his motivation for becoming a shinobi, though he was slightly confused at the last note and tone of voice Shimi spoke. Wondering if it was Jealousy the strategic classmate was speaking with. Making a small note on that too, Hansame turned back to their teacher, who started to explain what he thought of the lesson. Nodding his head at the criticisms, Hansame looked intently at the mask and the syringe brought out.
Looking rather surprised at the definition of an even more secret force in Suna, the blonde's imagination got turned on to the max as he thought of all of the inhumane things that they may have done. With the medical branch part of the ninja's career, Hansame was opened up to a whole new world of possibilities in his career, though one question remained in his mind, but he brushed it aside for now, it wasn't very important at the moment. So he just shook his head a little bit and finished up with his notes.

-Shimi was sitting at attention, his previously sluggish behavior vanishing to be replaced with the prior star-student model. He waits for the teachers before asking the teacher a very simple question. It nagged him the moment he mentioned specialization, and he was genuinely curious about it.-
"In the event I didn't want to be an Anbu, or Medical Nin, but still wanted to move beyond the standard path, is there another way? I already know that I wouldn't enjoy the Medical branch much, I'm afraid, and while Anbu is still a valid option I would prefer to have as much information as possible before a decision."
-The student says this while looking straight at the teacher, but expecting hesitation before answering he turns to glance out the window, noting a passing desert eagle.-

Naki smiled eagerly after telling his story. It was just then Niku stood up to state his name. Niku began explaining his reasons for becoming a Shinobi which made Naki roll his eyes. "boring, that's just so simple." But after he said that, Niku began apologizing to the teacher for Naki's 'heroism'. Niku flashed a smile to the young shinobi leaving Naki just staring at him in disbelief. Blinking a few times, he grit his teeth and glared at him frustrated. "Why you little...." Naki said under his teeth. That was not a smile of kindness or friendship! THAT WAS THE SMILE OF A JERK! Naki couldn't make a scene though, so he just sat down, his eyes never leaving Niku. "Hmph...jerk..." Naki said to himself under his breath.
Kyuji began explaining what they were going to be learning today. Naki sighed and lied his cheek against his hand. He listened with a bored expression plastered on his face. He didn't want some stupid old boring lecture! He wanted action! Maybe! If he was lucky! They could do some sparring! Then he could really get a chance to shine and pound that kid Niku in the face! Of course, despite these eager thoughts that ran through his mind, he had very little shinobi experience. Fighting Niku is just way over his head. Naki smirked when the teacher said there are many paths one could go down while becoming a shinobi. "No matter what path anyone chooses Kyuji Sensei, I'll be unstoppable, that I guarantee. Hehehe~"
As the lesson progressed, Naki stared at the two items in the instructors hands. He began talking about the branches of a Shinobi village which seemed interesting enough, right? Regardless if it was boring or not, Naki payed attention because he needed to know this for sure. About to raise his hand to ask a question, Niku beat him too it. And worst of all, that was the question Naki was going to ask! Naki growled lowly at the student. It seemed he was growing a bit of a rivalry for Niku, perhaps feeling even a bit jealous.
((SORRY FOR THE WAIT!))

These three students were definitely special in their own ways, but they also shared one common trait and that was that they were inexperienced and naive. The demigod however remembered how he use to be when he was their age and a warm feeling covered his body as they were going to all become fine shinobi in due time. But for now, it seemed that a little tension was building between the unfamiliar Toraono Clan's Naki and his counterpart of Niku. Honestly, it was funny that the two boys were "teasing" one another over the silliest of things, but the descendant of the great Byakko was not going to get involved as they couldn't do much damage to one another at their current power levels; if they were doing this when they were Jounin or even Genin, he would've stepped in and stopped them, but this was not the case.
What was the case though was the boys had a response to his question in different ways. Niku asked a reasonable and honest question if there was other paths that one could follow if they choose to not be any of the three main branches of the village. Fortunately for him, there was and his question would be addressed momentarily after Naki got his two cents into the mix proclaiming that he will be unstoppable. The kid definitely had high expectations for himself which was good as it gave him self-confidence that all shinobi should have, but he was nowhere close to where Kyuji was in strength, intelligence, or even knowledge of the shinobi arts. Still, he at least had a goal for himself, it was admirable. After Naki proclaimed that he would be unstoppable, the man among boy's looked at them and slowly began to explain the different paths a shinobi could do. "To answer your question, Niku, yes. We have Orders in this village which are not branch-oriented organizations that you can become a part of. The three Orders are the Rangers, the Journeymen, and the Oracles...each one of the Orders has a specific job that they must do. But, that is outside this lesson plan and you will need to do your own research on the Orders to see if they fit you. Essentially you could be in any of the three main branches and also be in the Order. Or you could get lucky and be a guard for the Kazekage. But let's move on."
He would shift his weight as he walked closely to the students running through topics that they could discuss for a beginner's course. The next one would be a good one for them to learn: the jutsu types. He would actually crack his knuckles in front of them as he began to talk: "Mr. Toraono, who apparently is related to me, tell me about Genjutsu. Mr. Shimi, tell me about ninjutsu. And Mr. Ehime, why don't you tell me about taijutsu. What is it? How is it used? What types are there? Please go into as many details as you can for your classmates and myself." This should be interesting to see how the students respond.

Hansame had seemingly become oblivious to the tension between his two classmates, even though it was getting heavier by the minute, he was smiling brightly at their teacher and the two other students. Rocking his legs back and forth in a carefree childish way, the optimistic blond listened intently to the orders and scribbling his notes. Taking out another sheet of paper and hearing Naki's comment, Hansame got the impression that he was supposed to make a comment himself. "I don't know much about my future too, but as long as i can help protect people then I'm ok with whatever comes my way!" he exclaimed, his comment coming from the heart, even though how cliche it sounded.
He turned his head to smile at the other two classmates, regardless of the heavy atmosphere surrounding Naki and Niku. His head turned back to the teacher as he gave them their next assignment; to describe one of the types of shinobi techniques, and the one Hansame received was Taijutsu. Hansame had no real experience with the subject of Taijutsu, but he had read a lot about it, so he was half confident half nervous about his response. When he was confident about his answer, Hansame stood up and began. "Taijutsu is i guess the use of martial arts, and it normally doesn't use chakra, but i've heard of one bloodline that combines taijutsu with uses chakra. It's mainly used for close combat, and i don't think it needs hand signals, but there's always exceptions. That's all i know, er, sorry…" he sort of apologized and trailed off at the end, though unsurprisingly, his smile remained.

Naki rested his cheek on his hands with a bored expression plastered on his face. He exhaled loudly as he listened to the lecture. His eyes kept shifting stubbornly towards Niku. Still, he couldn't help but feel a bit...'disturbed' with Hansame's highly optimistic attitude. The kid was always smiling for crying out loud! Well, at least he seemed kind and probably would be the last person to judge Naki. If Naki had to take a guess, Hansame was probably the brains in this class. Niku was OBVIOUSLY the slacker, and Naki was the all around power house, smart guy, and every other good thing/compliment you can throw in!
The instructor, Kyuji sensei, began giving them small questions. It was the basic art of the jutsu types. Naki blinked blankly when he got the jutsu type he knew the least about. Genjutsu. Meanwhile, Niku and Hansame got the easy ones...that was totally unfair! You would think that being related to this guy, he'd give you a break! But nope! Naki had a nervous smile as he scratched his head awkwardly. "Ehehe....uh, genjutsu is like...magic tricks...right..." The young soon to be shinobi gulped. "crap...that's what father said...r-right? Oh brother..." One things for certain, he did NOT want to get humiliated in front of Niku.

The descendant of Byakko would shut his eyes as he listened to the three---no, just two students respond to his question on the respective jutsu type that he assigned them. In a sense, the two students were correct with their responses, but they were so vague that what they presented could've been interpreted quite differently among a room of people. The disappointment in the room was Niku who had kept quiet and had not said anything about ninjutsu at all; it was a pity honestly. But, the show had to move on as the demigod opened his eyes with a smile and said politely with some excitement behind his voice: "You are both somewhat right but also quite wrong. I am going to go into details because this would be some important information to know considering it might come up again in the Genin Exams, hint hint. I will start with taijutsu since you responded to my questions first, Hansame. Taijutsu techniques are the body and hand to hand skills of the ninja. Taijutsu techniques do not require hand seals. Instead the ninja will train their body in different forms of fighting. A ninja can also use their inherent Bloodline abilities when doing Taijutsu techniques. Clans such as Hyuuga can utilize their ability to see the inner chakra channels of their opponent and then stop the flow, or utilize the Kaiten technique to form a protective barrier by releasing chakra from their body. There are many different types of taijutsu, but the main is unarmed or hand-to-hand. But, you could also use swords, chains, poles, and many other weapons with taijutsu."</B><i></i> He would take a breathe here as his explanation on all of them was a winded one and he would probably be gasping for air if he didn't take a few moments between jutsu to catch his breathe. When he had his breathing under control, he would continue: "As for Genjutsu, they are the illusion techniques of a ninja and they normally require hand seals. Genjutsu will use hypnotism to cause hallucinations in others. By causing such illusions they can cause their target mental pain and suffering just as real as physical hurt. Genjutsu is created when a ninja extends their chakra flow through the cerebral nervous system of their opponent to control their minds chakra, thereby affecting their five senses. To combat the effects of Genjutsu, there are two options. The first option is for the ninja to stop the flow of chakra in their body, and then apply an even stronger power to disrupt the flow of the caster's chakra. The second option is to have an outside ninja unaffected by the Genjutsu make body contact and use their chakra to disrupt the casters flow. There is a third option however which is to learn the Cancel Technique which will dispel the effects of the jutsu on you if you are aware that they are under a Genjutsu. These techiques also can be used with elements to add a nasty effect like burning or shocking a target. But, let's move on to the last type of jutsu known as Ninjutsu." Another pause to catch his breathe and then he continued again: <B>"Ninjutsu are the secrecy and skill techniques of a ninja. Ninjutsu normally require hand seals of some form but there are some clans and shinobi who have mastered one-handed seals like the Haku bloodline or using their eyes to use their ninjutsu like the Uchiha Clan. There are many different types of ninjutsu from offensive to defensive to support. In the medical branch, our jutsu are all support or healing jutsu, but we can reverse the effects and drain someone as well. The ANBU branch is mainly binding techniques and stealthiness like their Flock of Shadows technique. However, there are five basic elements a jutsu can take on which are fire, water, earth, wind or non-elemental. From those basic elements, you can combine two of them and make an advanced element like Photon, Shadow, Ice, Sand or even Ink. However, there are some clans who specialize in an advanced element and they have basic knowledge growing up to the point where it is second nature to them. My wife actually is a Haku-Inuzuka and she told me when we first met that she learned ice ninjutsu which is a combination of the water and wind elements from an early age with little to no training with water or wind ninjutsu. In other words, ice ninjutsu was the Haku Clan's primary element and thus it was second nature to them."
He would then pause his lecture and look at the three students. They were probably all bored at this point with that long, drawn-out explanation on the types of jutsu. But, it was important for them to learn it all and be as informed as they could be about the world around them. He would've loved to tell them about the Cabel and the corruption that was occurring in the country, but they were young and naive. They also probably would've went off the deep end over it all and they definitely would've attempted to do something stupid especially the Naki kid. There was really nothing more to discuss for a first day of class unless they had a particular topic they wanted to discuss so he asked them: "Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

(Apologies about my absense, life hit me like a truck recently but I am back and operational. I have read your replies. ONWARD!)
-Shimi snaps to his senses, having been only partially aware to the world through his hearing while he was staring off into the distance, a world of boredom awaiting him through his own imaginary breach. He realizes only then that he had failed. Ah crap... At least I wasn't chastised for it. Shimi actually knew each of the jutsu idea's fairly well thanks to having a shinobi father, but his father couldn't really teach him anything since puppet masters don't utilize much jutsu beyond their contraptions, and Shimi was too lazy to devote much time to learning something he already knew he wouldn't be using much. He goes back over the lesson in his head for a moment, finding nothing of interest, he turns to the teacher once more.-
"Well, pardon my spacing out by the way, I am interested in learning the most effective method of training my body physically. I had heard that weights were effective, but could be burdensome, so I was specifically interested in something that could increase my weight, but be instantly turned off when I want unlike removing weights. Any ideas?"

Hansame listened to his classmate tell his idea of what Genjutsu is, and Hansame was a little disappointed, not by the answer, but how he sort of wanted to learn a little more about the subject of genjutsu, so in a way, he was a little disappointed with the answer, but who was he to judge other people, and he took little notice about it. What really surprised him was what Niku did, or rather, what he didn't do, answer. Having heard him answer everything up till now, it was a new sensation to hear the silence in the room. Being the over imaginative child he was, Hansame started to wonder if anything was wrong or what happened. Most of the things he thought were pretty over the top, and he soon brought himself back to reality. Their teacher didn't show any reaction, and Hansame couldn't really grasp a vibe from him. He continued to diligently scribble down notes about the different types of chakra usage, and had to get yet another sheet of paper for notes.
When Questions came up, the small blond child looked at the others, and decided to wait a bit before asking his question. Hearing Niku speak again brought a tiny bit of relief in Hanse's head, mostly because he was relived that the thoughts that had been fluttering around in his mind proved untrue. He smiled and listened as a spark of curiosity surfaced. He tried to imagine a way to become stronger himself, though he couldn't really find a way besides hard work and training. When Niku was done, Hansame gave a small pause before he stood up for his question. "My question is about weapons. Er, can you combine weapons and chakra and use them, like simultaneously?" he asked, a basic question, though one he was really interested in.

This sudden calling of the medical demigod was proving quite eventful as the students were keeping him entertained and he wasn't completely disappointed in them. It was true that he wasn't anticipating much from them since they were new to the academy and the way of the shinobi, but they were learning at a reason pace and they would make great shinobi someday. They just needed to take the initiative to better themselves outside of the classroom and also make sure they were trying their best while in the classroom. Thus far, these students were not unlocking their full potential but it was their first class it appeared and thus they had nothing to base it off of so it was okay for now. He did like that Hansame was taking notes for future references and he also liked the little rivalry brewing between Niku and Naki; he hoped they would keep up this fiery spirit growing up while fighting to become a Genin. It would be quite interesting to see how they could compete while working together in an exam; maybe just maybe Kyuji would have to make that idea into reality sometime.
But for now, he listened to the children ask their questions with Niku getting the words in first followed by Hansame. As for Naki, he seemed to be spacing out this time much like Niku was doing earlier. It was alright, but he better not make the mistake again around the descendant of the great Byakko. Yet, these students' questions who were paying attention actually were good ones; they were easy questions to answer, but for them they were great questions. He would answer the children's questions in the order that they were asked starting with Mr. Shimi's. In his tone, he was happy and physically he was showing a welcoming demeanor and smiling as he began. "Well, Niku, that was a great question and you are right about using weights. However, I believe you are not thinking entirely in the correct sense. You want to increase your weight but also be able to decrease it in a snap, but that is quite difficult unless you are using weights. However, I propose you study up on the taijutsu arts and styles because not all taijutsu is used offensive. Some of it can be used for defensive purposes to endure a blow or reduce damage while others can help buff you up. So in a sense, you could learn a buffering jutsu which would increase your weight behind your blows momentarily. Aside from using weights or a buffering jutsu, there isn't much you can do add weight or decrease weight. You want to think about strength over weight, you can pack a more powerful punch or kick at 90 lbs over some people who are twice your weight. Just train those fists and kicks, that is my best advice you can do." He would then pause momentarily to catch a breath before turning his gaze to Hansame as he begun: "As for your question, you can actually combine your weapon and your chakra together. There are some people in this village that use their weapon and channel their chakra through it to use their Genjutsu or Ninjutsu. I personally do not channel my jutsu through my weapons, but it is an option. However, you can channel your chakra through your weapon which I do when I spar or fight. But remember, I also focus on only Genjutsu and Taijutsu and I prefer to use handseals to use my Genjutsu. Would it be possible for me to use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu through my weapon? Yes, it is possible but I prefer not to. Now, do we have anymore questions for today's class?"

-Niku holds the bridge of his nose during the process of his teachers explanation. He hated being misunderstood, and he couldn't explain the reaction his teacher gave him any other way.-
"I was referring to training. I want to increase my effective weight while training without hampering myself if someone attacks me while I am training."
-When he says this he had already pulled hie head back into its lazy glance, but his hand remained close to his face, gradually shifting back towards the window.-

While the instructor went on with the lesson, it may have seemed Naki was spacing out. Which was partially true. But mainly, he was falling asleep from boredom. Throughout the whole lecture he said prior and the one now, Naki was simply snoozing. Light snores emitted through the entire classroom.
((Short post, but this MIGHT be the onnly time I'm free this weekend so I just rushed it, I promise a better post next time...sorry guys!))

Hansame nodded his head and instead of scribbling down notes this time, he paid close attention to what the teacher had to say about weapons and how they can be incorporated into the different types of jutsus. Smiling and nodding his head, he wondered what else could be infused with chakra, and made a note to try and experiment later, if he could. When he turned to look at the others, he saw that Naki had passed out, happily snoozing away. Hansame was tempted to give the classmate a light poke or even go to the extremity of drawing on his face, but refrained since the teacher was there with them, and Hansame didn't know how he'd react to that certain antic. When any last final questions came up, Hansame shook his head and smiled.
The older male in the classroom would again close his eyes and listen to the sounds in the room. One of the students was sleeping as you could hear his snores being emitted through the classroom and Kyuji had his assumptions as he opened his eyes again and walked over the desk banging on the desk to wake up the slacker in the room. He would then hear the rival of the snoozing boy respond by saying he was asking about training to increase his effective weight without handicapping himself if someone were to try to fight him. The teacher honestly did not know any effective or efficient methods to train this way so he shook his head at the boy and simply responded with the following: "Sorry, I have no idea how to help you there. I understand where you are coming from but the traditional way of using weights is the best method and just dropping them if you are being attacked is what I would do. But, good job stumping the teacher. Bonus points to you if I was actually grading you guys, but I am not haha."
He would then plop back on the desk in the front of the room, crossing his arms and smiling at them all. He would then take a deep inhale and exhale before beginning his final remarks. When he spoke, he was clear, concise, but friendly at them all: "If you have nothing else that you are wondering about, you have all successfully completed your first class. I will be in contact with your parents or guardians about the class and we will go from there. But, congratulations. You all did well, but next time be prepared for some hands-on-training because if you have me, you will be having a sparring match possibly. But if there are no more questions or concerns, class dismissed!" He would sit on the desk and wait for all the students to take their leave before he would close the door and lock it up if they all were heading out. If not, he would wait and answer some more questions to satisfy the appetites of the students.
[OOC: You may leave if you have no other questions. I think we are wrapping up here, but if you have any more questions or comments IC...let me have them haha. Next post will be due by 11:59 PM Saturday forum time if we are continuing. If not, then topic left unless stopped. Either way, it has been a pleasure. If you are done, just make a OOC note that you are leaving the topic and I will get the class rewards up for you all when you all leave.]
