P/T Tritan's Training Terra

[KoKoKo]

Tritan had left the kage keep with the Kage in tow, since leaving he hadn't changed any of his outfit except for putting on a watch he pulled out of his orange board shorts. He wanted to keep his eye out and ready for high tide. HE turned his head back and noted the Kage in his official robes and shrugged - each to their own - he thought to himself. Now Anari, when we get to the training area it will probably be best for you to take the kage gear off, I do respect you and your rank but you probably wouldn't be fighting in full ceremonial robes. Arriving at the training facility it would be clear that it was a converted barn, kept in good condition with a stone work exterior looking natural and almost log cabin like.

The barn was about 50 meters long with a second floor covering only 10 meters of it. The rest of the 40 meters was a single floor with a roof which could open and allow in the elements. The barn's ground floor was all dried ground though on solid foundation which wouldn't let water flood in from the outside. Upon entering Tritan would lead the kage through the doors and into a living room, Place any excess stuff you have in here bud, then join me through these doors to begin training. Tritanw ould walk through a second set of double doors and into the extended section of the barn where three archery targets would be seen on the opposite side of the room.

Following Tritan out of the Kage's keep, Anri had noticed the boy put on a wrist watch. For what? He had not know. Why? He had not cared. But what he had know was it was way too hot to be wearing all his official kage clothes. Maybe he should have left them with Vladimir, but if he had, then he wouldn't at least have the little bit of shade that his kage's hat had provided for him. Anri had realized the same thought process went through the surfer's head when he made a comment about the clothing. Fortunately for Anri he was wearing his normal kimono on underneath.

When the two had finally gotten to the barn, Anri followed Tritan into a living room where he would safely store his kage's clothing. From there he followed him into a room with archery targets set up. "I'm ready when you are." Anri said excitedly as he would finally learn how to use a bow and arrow. He awaited further instructions from the surfer boy.

[KoKoKo]

Tritan walked over to the cupboard he had just behind the doors and took out a floor quiver with approximately 100 broad tipped arrows. He would then bring it over to a line marked on the floor and take his own bow off of his back taking up a stance on the stage one stance of how to hold a bow. Right, look at how my body is positioned. This is known as the even stance. You need to keep it so your body is nice and loose. In one fluid and swift movement Tritan drew an arrow from his back quiver and knocked it to his bow, in a steady draw and release it sliced through the air striking the bullseye of the centre target. Releaseing his body from the stance, Tritan would hand the bow over to the Kage.

I have one of the better bows on the market, it's done me proud threw quite a few missions. I know I can trust the bow not to let me down after a seconds silence he couldn't help but laugh Sorry, I know it's weird to say about an inanimate object but you will understand it soon enough.

Once the kage took his attempt at the stance Tritan would help guide and nudge the kage's body into the perfect even stance. Having him get to know it before breaking out of the stance and entering into it a couple of times.

Anri watched the young male pull out what had to be at least 100 arrows out of a cupboard. Anri then watched as Tritan showed him the stance in perfect execution, absolutely text book. "Right, look at how my body is positioned. This is known as the even stance. You need to keep it so your body is nice and loose." Tritan said to him as Anri took mental notes of the surfer's body positioning. "Like this?" Anri asked as he tried to poorly imitate the stance. Before Anri could finish speaking he watched as the arrow flew through the air and nailed the target perfectly.

As Tritan handed the bow over to Anri, the young kage could feel something in the bow. Maybe it was the souls of those who lost their lifes to this bow. Maybe it was the implication of a silent death that surrounded the bow. Either way Anri was mystified and in love with the feel of this almost primitive weapon. Anri entered his own world trying to replicate the stance he had just seen with his very observant eyes, since he was a hyuuga after all. The kage had set his base sturdy, right shoulder facing the target, bow drawn, left eye closed. As he had seen almost evey archer before him do.

His stance was close, but not close enough. He let his arrow fly and watched it drop like a rock in a pond. That is when Tritan came over and tried to help Anri by positioning his body properly. He made a few adjustments to Anir's leg spacing and a light adjustment to the way he held his upper body. When the surfer had finished helping Anri he gave it another shot. Anri watch as the bow hit the target. " Maybe not a bull's-eye, but i see why you love this weapon." Anri said with a chuckle as he watched the arrow vibrate in the outer ring of the target.

It is a great weapon, and for the first technique you will be taught is the Point Blank Shot. A marksman needs to know how to shoot at close range as well as long range, so before you go on to learning how to shoot the precision at distance you need to know how to do it close up. Taking a step back from the kage Tritan performed the shadow clone handseals creating four shadow clones. The original walked over and took one of the training bows and walked to the centre of the room, two of his clones appeared around him while one stood by the kage, incase of a stray shot.

Drawing an arrow and knocking it to his bow the clones began to leap around the room withdrawing a bone sword from their bodies. In a swift movement the first clone came in for an attack appearing 7 meters ahead of the original and the knocked arrow would loose from the bow and strike the chest of the clone, though normally it would bounce off due to the bone strength - the arrow would burst through the clone turning it into a burst of wind.

The second clone leapt in and was flashing around the room, and during that time another arrow was put into the bow, and from above the attack would come. The second sense of a marksmen let him know where it was coming and when the clone was within four meters the arrow fired piercing the clone and turning it to smoke. Once the job was done he turned to the kage, Your turn, though at first my clone wont be as dangerous. Once you get to know the technique he will get a bit more dangerous.

Tritan gestured to the middle of the room wanting the kage to take the centre spot. The arrows wont take out this clone, the kaguya bone mastery will prevent the arrow from making this clone vanish. Get used to knocking an arrow to the bow and when you're ready signal and the clone will begin the training. oh and until we practice honing your second sense he will only come from your line of sight so dont worry about a surprise attack

Anri listened to his instructor speak as he began trying to get a feel for the bow. Tritan then explained that a good marksmen would be effective at any range, and then Anri watched closely as Tritan made some clones appear in front of them. They then demonstrated by jumping around shooting each other in an amazing display of professionalism. After the shadow clones were quickly finished and one Tritan came back down, the obvious victor instructed Anri to practice knocking the arrow to the bow before trying against the last shadow clone.

So Anri did just that a few times, feeling the arrow click against the wood of the bow over and over the Kusakage focused on his stance. Adjusting his legs to be shoulder length apart, he pointed his right foot forward and left foot back holding his weight. Chest extended and right arm extended grasping the bow, he knocked the arrow to the bow one more time. Taking a practice shot Anri watched the arrow fly and hit an archery target, again not a bulls-eye, but it wasn't the outer ring this time.

Drawing another arrow and knocking it, Anri studied the area with his Byakugan and then quickly turned it off. He then signaled the clone as he was instructed to before and the clone dashed at him head on. The Kusakage was not used to this at all so he had been a little spooked. As the Kaguya rushed the Hyuuga Anri released the arrow when the Tritan clone was 8 meters away. The arrow had been landed in the waist. By landed, it hit the side of the Kaguya's hip and was then deflected. The clone stopped rushing before it hit the Kusakage and went back to the starting position.

Anri stood still once again as he calmed his nerves for a minute. After a short break he tried knocking the arrow to the bow a few times again. This time he put the arrow on his back the way it would rest in a quiver. He then signaled the clone one more time to rush him, as it did Anri pulled the arrow off of his back and knocked it to the bow with a prominent "Snap". As the shadow clone got close Anri waited till as close as he could with out losing his nerve before releasing the arrow.  As the clone hit the 5 meter mark Anri let the arrow fly and it bounced off of his chest directly into the ground.

Anri was satisfied with this so he was beginning to pack things up when he realized he really wasn't satisfied. He saw the way that Tritan showed off this simple skill, yet he didn't feel like it was perfected. So he went back into position, bow in his right hand lazily on his right hip. The clone looked at the boy confused as if he had just watched some sort of epiphany happen and not realize it. Anri then signaled then clone, who subsequently charged... Anri thought it had been a good idea to try to move and jump around will trying to shoot the clone, and the clone caught on quick. The KusaKage jumped and turned around readying the bow in the air and using his last arrow. When he had saw the arrow reflect off the clones forehead 3 meters away Anri finally felt like he had did it. He then turned to Tritan with a smile and awaited the next training.

"Good man, looks like you have started the next one now. It is a defensive shot.. 'the reactive shot'." Cracking a grin Tritan motioned for the kage to leave the centre of the area. "The Reactive shot basically stops guys from flanking you. If they are much stronger than you though they can out manoeuvre you, so you can't just rely on it in the early days. I can't really show you how to do this technique though, it is down to your gut instincts and trusting what you can sense."

Tritan walked out into the centre with his spare bow and his spare arrows in the quiver on his back. With another set of handseals three more clones appeared. "I will show you what i mean though, it is about using your ears and a sixth sense of sorts." Taking position and knocking the arrow to his bow, his clones vanished and pulled out a bone sword from their legs each. Taking off from their spots the clones this time would not run but instead use shunshins, vanishing at a ridiculous speed and going in for the strike on Tritan only for him to dodge the attack by no more than a foot and for him to loose an arrow into the clone.

The two other clones performed different assaults and a similar effect of narrowly dodging and loosing the arrows to finish the clones before he turned back to the kage. "you have to listen for their movements, and just let your body flow. It is a difficult technique to learn, especially while new to the bow but you need this technique more than you will realise if you are a marksmen." Shrugging he hoped what he said would go through the kage's head "I will lower the strength of my clones for you during this time, otherwise you probably wont be able to handle them."

Defensive Shot
Rank: ["D", "C", "B", "A", "S"]
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: A technique in which if the user has his sights set on a target ready to attack, the senses of the Marksman is so in tuned with his surroundings the user is unable to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Marksman is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Marksman.

Anri nodded after getting Tritan's quick debriefing. It had seemed that he had already started to practice the next technique a little bit in his previous training, so Anri was ready to learn exactly how he could use this. So Anri warmed up with practicing his form and knocking the arrow to the bow. The Kusakage then focused his mind and signaled one of Tritan's clones to flank him when they were ready. This felt like hours when only seconds had passed, knowing something was coming, but not knowing when, drove Anri crazy. Just as he started to clear his mind of these thoughts something triggered inside his brain.

A tiny impulse telling him "RIGHT!" when the surfer's weakened clone charged Anri from his back right shoulder. Pivoting quickly, Anri was able to knock the arrow to the bow and release the bow string just as the clone was within sword's length of the naive Kage. The arrow bounced off the clone like a pebble on pavement and Anri let out a laugh. "Make this one as random as you can." Once again he cleared his mind, this time expecting the clones to move about on their own now.

The Kusakage stood there, guard seemingly down as the Kaguya clones disappeared and began their odd, mock assault on the kage. Yet the whole time Anri was focusing on his breathing, making sure that his nerves were settled, and most importantly, honing his instinctual timing. As time went on Anri hadn't moved, so the first clone finally decided it was time to catch the new kage off guard. Attacking from his back left side, Anri quickly turned, opened his eyes and loosed and arrow at the charging Kaguya. The arrow bounced off the clone's forehead and it then retreated.

Without a notice another clone came out of nowhere. This time from directly behind Anri. Lacking a proper second to get ready, Anri tried to skip a few steps, and just turn and shoot. The Kaguya stopped right in front of the Kusakage as his arrow dropped to the floor. Anri was unable to keep up with that one so he returned to his meditative like state of mind. "Let's try again... As many as you guys think I can handle." Anri said with his eyes closed, channeling what he could of his energies to help as much as possible.

When the first clone finally struck it was immediately met with an arrow right between the eyes. The arrow once again bounced off the clone and to the ground, but before it could hit the ground, another clone flanked Anri from his immediate right. Anri followed with a quick 90 degree turn to the right and dropped an arrow right between this clone's eyes. Before Anri could think, two clones were coming from opposite sides, the right and the left. Doing the best he could to spin between the alternate directions, Anri let and arrow fly into the stomach of each clone. Without warning, a final clone dropped in from above the Kusakage, who was instantly met with an arrow, in a very unfortunate place.

The kage had to leave to perform his duties, which he understood and sort of shrugged off. While he was alone though there was a sudden pain in his chest, a pain unlike something he had ever felt before. A flurry of coughs along with the spewing up of blood found tritan on the floor. He tried to force himself up and onto his feet but something was wrong, his bones felt weak.. they never felt weak - his kekkai genkai made sure of that but that was where the issue was. He wanted to slap himself he had been such an idiot. He hadn't treated himself for the toxic calcium yet and today was when he was supposed to do it. He tried with all his might to push off the floor and get to his emergency treatment but his bones went brittle and snapped. It didn't take long before his brittle and broken bones were matched by his will as he lay there begging for someon to come by.. though no one would...
