Oroshimo's Traning Dojo (Private)

ooc- Understood, It is an art I will just have to learn... thank you for advice

TP 2/20

"Finally you have done it boy you have completed the first test, now for the second! It is very similar to the first, but this time I am going to throw a straight punch at you, and you will need to do a dodge that puts you in the upperhand... understood?"-Oroshimo

"Yes sempai!"-Ichirei

As the teacher and student stared each other in the eyes they both questioned each others skill... the master questioned whether or not to go full force and the student questioned whether the punch that was going to come could kill him... and without a moments delay the master flew through the air with brutal intent in his eyes.. and just like that, Ichirei stumbled a step to the right leaving his weight behind.. which in turn made him fall to the ground, tripping the master and causing him to fall to the floor as well.

"A little unorthodox, and you have also left yourself open on all sides... I am suddenly questioning whether you are ready to learn my techniques at all.If you are afraid of the pain of a simple punch then perhaps you need to wait a year more."-Oroshimo

"No sempai, I can learn... I promise you!"- Ichirei

"Alright, we will try again but if you fail... I may drop these lessons."-Oroshimo

The two fighters stood on opposite sides of the mat and yet again stared at each other with full intent on each of their pursuits. The master charged at full speed his fist a curled ball of energy as it swung through the air. Ichirei watched and waited a moment longer before beginning the dodge, deciding to sidestep to the left and back because Oroshimo was punching with his left arm(which he can now tell from his shoulder movements), therefore the punch would be weakened because the arm would lock before it hit Ichirei and therefore dull the blow. The logic was flawless, but the end result was not, he did sidestep to the left correctly but mistimed the step by a fraction of a second and the full force of the punch sent him spiraling backward.

What had gone wrong? I had planned it all out in my head, watched his shoulders perfectly but I still mistimed. Last time I failed because of where I was looking, perhaps it is the same issue yet again... but where do I look? It makes sense to continue to look at his shoulder, but whats different from last time to this time... he's moving! I get it now, I need to watch his footwork to see exactly when he will spring!

"You have defiantly improved, but I don't know if your membrane can take another hit before bursting..."-Oroshimo

"But sempai I have learned what to do now! And didn't you once tell me that in order to learn Krav Maga I would have to go to near death again and again... I am ready to learn and it is your responsibility to teach!"-Ichirei

"Alright, alright.. just drink all of one of those water bottles real quick and we will do this one more time today."-Oroshimo

Once more the fighters stood on opposite ends of a bamboo mat, staring each other in the eyes, the master's concern clearly palpable as he began his charge toward Ichirei.

Okay, it's clear from shoulder movements that he is priming a right punch, so a sidestep to my right would be ideal, but I also need to watch his feet for the final spring... not now, not now...NOW!

Ichirei burst to the right at surprising speed and dodged the punch perfectly in tune with what was happening in his opponents body, now to give himself the upper hand, he quickly jumped behind his sempai and put him into a simple headlock, guessing where his hands should go.

"You're doing the wrong hold if you wish to contain me!"-Oroshimo

Oroshimo groped behind him and grabbed Ichirei and threw him over himself onto the mat where Ichirei quickly feel asleep from exhaustion.

OOC- nice!
TP-9/20

"You are progressing nicely my boy, but all you have learned is how to anticipate and dodge a simple straight punch, it's time that you now learn how to dodge a flurry of blows. Once you have learned this you should be able to go against any taijutsu user of your age group. Are you ready to begin?"

"Yes sempai!"

The two fighters face each other on the bamboo practice mat, ready to see the true skill of each other. The master yelled,"Begin!" and then began a sprint toward Ichirei, who in turn decided to do something different from his past sparring sessions and decided to charge at him headon as well. The master seemed faintly suprised but continued his charge, when they were within 2 meters of each other the master primed a right handed punch... while Ichirei prepared to slide under the punch to then trip the master by colliding with him. However, he mistimed his descent and flew backwards with impressive speed.

"Haven't I told you not to try anything unorthodox? You are really starting to look and play the fool."

"I'm sorry sempai."

"Let's just start again."

Yet again the teacher and the student stood on opposite edges of the bamboo training mat, ready to begin. With a cry of "Begin" the master charged headlong yet again at his student.Okay by what I can tell he is preparing to elbow me in the face with his right arm, now to wait for the perfect moment to deflect. NOW!His hand flew up to meet the elbow where both where met at a standstill, next came a left kick from the master. I can't block it or dodge it... it's going to connect! BAM!

"You need to not just block one attack with the intention of blocking that single attack, block it leaving energy and body parts open to block subsequent attacks. Now get up, during a real fight just lying on the ground will be fatal to the survival of you and any teammates that may be working with you. During this next sparing session I will not stop until you are unconscious or until you landed a hit on me. Understood?"

"Yes sempai!"

And yet again Oroshimo and Ichirei stood in a fighting stance at opposite edges of the bamboo fighting mat. The master roared "Begin" and sprinted directly at Ichirei.It doesn't look like an attack from the upper body... a right legged kick is most likely.
And his haunch was correct but instead of blocking the kick he sidestepped to the right causing a slight imbalance in Oroshimo's defence which Ichrei tried to take advantage of with a left straight punch... but his hand was caught by oroshimo's right hand who then attacked with his left elbow... which connected with Ichirei's face and sent him sprawling to the ground... Ichirei scrambled to get up and achieved an upright stance before he saw a fist heading right for his forehead. His adrenaline kicked in and he quickly slapped it away with his left hand and then lashed out with his right leg connecting somewhere around oroshimo's thigh.

"You have done it! You passed the third test! And you have now learned how to predict and dodge or block an opponent's movements, and not just a single punch, but a flurry of blows... this is invaluable when facing a taijutsu user. Now you need real world application!"

OOC- math has never been one of my strong suits, sorry about that.
TP-19/30

"Now then, in order to truly master this technique you must be able to do it in a variety of situations. So you have already used it against me, now you need at least one more person to be your adversary in order to truly learn the true use of the technique. Now this person also can not be a weakling... you must be put under the real stress of a battle to insure maximum retention. And the best target that I could find was a local drunk named Ano... now Ano has been known to go beserk when drunk and beat passerby without remorse, the authorities haven't yet taken care of this problem so I am going to send you to stop him... if you do this, you will be ready to move on to more techniques."

"Yes sempai!"

And with that Ichirei stood up and began a search for Ano... now with his understanding of Ano, he would not have to find Ano, Ano would find him if he just walked around. Ichirei was right,

"You little schwit...you little schwit!!!"

As Ichirei turned around, wondering what in the world a "schwit" was, he knew he had found his man. He barely turned around fast enough to notice a rather large man with a huge bottle of sake in one hand and a curled up knuckle sandwich in the other bearing down on him with remarkable speed for such a large man... and he was drunk no less.

He didn't have time to dodge the first attack so he prepared to block... but he couldn't tell what the man was going to do... his muscles were to relaxed. And Ano swung a hard right puunch right into Ichirei's chin, sending Ichirei flying backwards into a wall where he collapsed for just a moment.

What just happend? Man that guy has a mean right hook... and how drunk is healmost as if in response Ano roared,

"Whacha'gun'du! Whacha'gun'du!", as he took another large gulp from the bottle.

Ichirei quickly stood up and accesed the damage.How am I going to combat this guy, he is so relaxed that His muscles don't even seem to move!

And out flew a right kick to fast to block that struck him in his abdomen. Whoa I didn't even notice him charging that time! What am I doing wrong, I looked at his footwork and his shoulders and just couldn't tell what he was going to do beacuse he was so relaxed... I have to look at the even smaller details, it's the only thing I can do.

Ichirei quickly jumped back up into the fighting stance, feeling no pain in his new revelation... Ano charged yet again, and this time Ichirei watched with renewed intent... watching every detail and...There! The smallest of twitches in his right arm shows anticipation, he is going to try and punch me with his right arm!

And his haunch was correct, this time instead of being hit he ducked at the last second, and jumped full force, connecting his head to Ano's, and sending the drunk man to the ground. The bottle of sake fell to the grund and shattered, saving Ichirei the honors of finishing off the bottle.

Ichirei then returned to the dojo to tell Oroshimo the news.

OOC- thanks sky

TP- 28/30

"Hmmm... It still seems like your not ready to move on."

"But sempai!"

"No buts! Now then to improve your reaction time I am going to begin throwing kunai at you which you will have to dodge. Once you have dodged all 500 kunai you will (more than likely) continue on to bigger and better things."

"Sempai isn't that just a little bit dangerous?"

"Not if you dodge them, which I feel confident you can do(probably)."

"Okay sempai let us just get this over with... *gulp*"

Ichirei stood staring down his sempai at the opposite ends of the dojo. With a yell of "Begin" the kunai began to be thrown. Oroshimo began with only 2 kunai, one aimed for Ichirei's head and one just to the left of him. A simple sidestep. However Oroshimo began making each round of throwing just a little bit harder until it seemed like he was in the midst of a heated battle, but the worst part was he not only had to to look up to make sure he wasn't impaled by the thrown kunai... but he had to watch his step to make sure he didn't make a single misstep and therefore completely ruin his training up to this point by dying a pointless death by falling on a bed of kunai.

But eventually all things end and with no warning at all the kunai were just stopped.

"Sempai, where or who did you learn this from?"

"My own sempai used it on me."

"Sempai, where did you get 500 kunai?"

Jutsu-


TP- 0/10

"Now that you can react to your opponents movements by seeing you need to be able to react by feeling. Not by watching your opponents every movement intently... but by really knowing without even having to look. In order to train this, the only way I know of is for you to fight me blindfolded."

"Blindfolded! But then I won't be able to see!"

"That is the point student, trust me."

"Yes, sempai."

So with out another word of complaint Ichirei tied the blindfold around his head once he arrived at his starting point and went into the fighting stance. With a yell of"Begin" Ichirei heard the sound of feet pad toward him...How am I supposed to do this? When it seemed that his master was close he lunged to the right hoping that he had dodged an attack.

"You aren't feeling it!"

Ichirei turned around hurriedly the voice had come from behind but he had thought that his sempai was in front of him. Ichirei began losing track of tie as not a sound came from around him.. he was completely blind and deaf... then WHAM! He fell to the ground crying in pain.

"You still aren't feeling it... perhaps you're just not ready for sparring yet, something simpler... How about you meditate over there and whenever you feel the slightest bit threatened yell. Understood?"

"Yes sempai!"

So yet again Ichirei tied the blindfold around his head and sat down to meditate.What's going to happen, is he going to try and scare me?... What's this feeling, instinct perhaps, do I feel threatend?SEMPAI!

"Yes, are learning... you felt my approach, now we just need to have you apply it in combat."

Once more Ichirei tied the blindfold around his head once he reached his side of the bamboo training mat, and prepared his fighting stance. And with a roar of "Begin!" yet again he heard his sempai's footsteps, but something else he felt... he felt danger, and it told him to slap away a punch with his left hand... and when his hand move through the defensive movement it connected with something... a human armWhat else is it telling me? To lash out with his right leg, and yet again when he followed this feeling he felt it connect with something...Anything else? To headbutt directly infront of him to finish off the spar... and once again he connected with something and this time.

"Great job boy, you learn fast... you can now feel your opponents movements."

TP- 0/30

"You can feel your opponents movements, now you are ready to make the battlefield a blind one."

"Make the battlefield blind sempai?"

"Yes my student, and the best way to do this is to use the Hidden Mist jutsu..."

"Sempai?"

"It will completely cover the battlefield in a mist that cannot be blown away by any wind style jutsu."

"I understand now sempai."

"Good, now then I have right here a bowl of water, you must turn all of the water in this bowl into mist,using the water release... understood?"

"Yes sempai!"

And with that Oroshimo placed the bowl infront of Ichirei who began to ready his chakara... wondering how in the world the jutsu was supposed to work.

Do I flood it with chakara hoping that it explodes into the air? Or is it just a little chakara at a time? I will try flooding for now.

Ichirei then felt power inside himself begin to grow and suddenly when it felt he would burst at the seems from the pent up energy it let it all flood into the bowl of water, where it suddenly turned to mist. Feeling elation over his new discovery he ran to Oroshimo, who had been reading Make-Out Logic, and told him of his findings. And then he suddenly felt so very tired, why was he so tired? Had he really used that much chakara? And then Ichirei fell to the floor.

"Wake up my boy! Wake up!"

"I'm up sempai, please don't yell so loud."

"You had me worried, I thought you had used so much chakara that you had none left! Don't ever do what you just did ever again!"

"Yes sempai..."

Once again Ichirei was sat infront of a small bowl of water, but this time Oroshimo watched him intently not daring to take his eyes of Ichirei for even a second.

I feel so much like a small child now, being scolded for doing something wrong... oh well the best way to get back in his good grace is to master this technique. So maybe I need to flood it with chakara like before... but not so much that I drain myself completely.

Beginning to feel the rush of chakara starting to build itself up inside his system, he let go a small amount... a slight movement, but nothing noticeable, a little bit more... a slightly bigger movement,

I'm going to get nowhere with this if I keep doing these petty amounts of chakara, I need to flood it with just enough to turn it into mist, trial and error is the only way that I can do it.

So he began building up large amounts of chakara, trying to guess exactly how much he would need to turn this bowl of water into the mist he needed. Just before he felt he could take no more energy he let loose half of his chakara, and with a cry of joy he had made the small bowl of water into a decent amount of mist.

"Great job! Now then I have a gourd over there full of water... if you can turn all of that gourd into mist, you will have succesfully completed the jutsu... however you are a long way away from there. For now just train chakara control."

"Yes, sempai..."

And then for the next 3 hours Ichirei meditated, building up large amounts of chakara holding on to it for awhile then just releasing it into the space around him.

OOC- sorry just trying to fluff it up while trying to figure out how I want the jutsu to work

TP-7/30

The next day...

"Now that you can turn the water into the mist, we need to make sure that you can make a large amount of mist then be prepared to fight right afterward. So to prove this you will take this large bowl of water with you to the left edge of the practice mat, and when I yell begin I want you to create mist out of it, then dodge and parry and blows that I may throw at you... understood?"

"Yes sempai."

Lugging the large bowl of water over to his edge of the practice mat, he began to store up chakara preparing to realease just enough chakara to make the mist. As soon as he set the bowl down his master yelled "Begin!" and began his run at Ichirei. Who fumbled a bit then finally released the chakara into the water creating a fair amount of mist that completely concealed him... but there was a problem, in the creation of the mist he had become dizzy and now was completely disoriented...

Duck!

And so he did, trusting his Krav Maga fighter's mentality like he had been taught, but since he was dizzy he fell from the sudden movement downwards and began to scramble to get up when he felt a sudden pain in his kidneys as he received a sharp kick...

"You used to much chakara didn't you?"

"Yes sempai..."

"You must learn to control the amount of chakara you use perfectly so that you don't use it all at once, it is invaluable that you do so. Here eat this energy pill and get back over there."

"Yes sempai."

Ichirei then stood up, ate the energy pill, then poured some water from one of his bottles into the bowl.

I need to have perfect chakara control... and I think I also need to become calm, to help mantain steady build-up then release... Calm, deep breaths... now to build up the chakara... okay, I think now I should be fine for his assault.

"Begin!"

Calm down... you have time now gently release the chakara

And with that Ichirei shot chakara into the water creating a mist that completely flooded the room.

Oh no, I over did it didn't I? But... I don't feel tired, in fact now that I have so much water surronding me I feel more energized every second!!! What have I done? Wait a second he's still charging!

LEFT HANDED BLOCK THEN GIVE'M A RIGHT!

And in compliance with his inner voice he blocked an elbow with his left hand, then shot forward his right hand with a force that surprised even Ichirei... Ichrei then called off the mist with a quick release and realized that he had sent Oroshimo onto his back.

"Good job... Ichrei... I didn't realize... that the mist... would bring up ... your Hozuki power... so much... Man that punch knocked... the breath out of... this old man.

"Calm down master I didn't punch you that hard did I?"

"Oh I'm fine now, just needed to catch my breath... Okay the important thing is you used just the right amount of chakara, and you did what most forget to do... be calm. Water is passive yet unyielding, even the smallest trickle can erode mountains... In order to make water jutsu the strongest, you must be like the element you wish to use, or at least think like it in the moment of usage."

"I understand sempai."

TP - 15/30

" For the rest of your training on this matter, the only thing that I can do is give you this (medium) gourd filled with water, once you have successfully turned an entire gourd of water into mist with a single burst of chakara... you will have completed your training."

And with that Ichirei took the gourd and began his training on his own. He immediately moved to an empty lot outside the village ready to start a private session.

It's such a large amount of water, I probably won't get it on my first try... but try I shall!

So with renewed determination Ichirei charged up his chakara, while also calming every muscle in his body. And with a rush of force he slung the chakara into the water creating an all consuming mist. However he had only turned about 1/4 of the gourd into a mist...

What am I doing wrong, I have relaxed my body like water and charged up the perfect amount of chakara... there is no way I am doing this wrong. Unless I am not enough like the element of water. What else can I do to become like water?

Ichirei then began to meditate over how in the world he could possibly become more like water to increase his power of the jutsu.

I am sending a short burst of chakara into the water to create the mist, what if I were to send the same amount of chakara but slowly... instead of being so quick perhaps I should flow like water!

With a look of excitement on his face Ichirei yet again charged his chakara, relaxed his muscles and began to slowly release his considerable chakara into the water keeping his eyes closed as he did so. And when he opened his eyes he was yet again inside a omnipotent mist... but there was something different about this mist, it felt more solid. Almost as if it was a complete shroud and not a simple sheet of water.

With a flick of his wrist he called off the mist and looked back into the gourd to realize that almost all of the water was gone from the gourd... he had done it! And with a cold look of disappointment he remembered that he had already released 1/4 of the water from the gourd when he had tried the second time.

Dang, and I thought I was ready to show Oroshimo...

So for the next 4 hours Ichirei continually went through the basic rituals of chakara usage. Building up chakara, releasing it and building it up yet again.

Ichirei then took the gourd, filled it up, then prepared to make an all consuming shroud of mist, building chakara, relaxing his muscles and finally clearing his mind. Then in finality he released all of his chakara in a steady stream. Once he called off the mist he looked into an empty gourd with a smile from ear to ear.
