Norikaze (Riding Wind)
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user dips low and steps forward to evade, then rises in a powerful strike with their off-knee.
Special: --
Drawback: The user completes this technique close to their foe.
Description: The user steps forward with their main-foot, straightening their main-leg and dipping low to allow a strike to ghost over the top of them. The user than rises, bringing their off-knee forward and up in a powerful knee strike that hits the foe in the stomach or groin. The user than resumes the stance.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki. Must know Tentou. Must know Rokkingu Kaze (Rocking Wind).

Ryutatsu had but a moment to react to the blinding light and it did blind him. But the boy Shoko would find that blinding Ryutatsu even for a moment did not disorient him. For Ryutatsu had trained all of his senses not just his eyes to be sharp. The sounds of his foot steps backwards was enough to give Ryutatsu information of where to step forward. He stepped forward and dipped low to evade any likely punches.

Then Ryutatsu rose with a powerful off knee strike to the boy's side. Ryutatsu wasn't even going all out but kept close to his opponent to where even arm length is to far. There was several critical distances in close combat the furthest being that of a blade. Katana's and longswords operate at this distance. Closing in was the range of kicks, still easily avoidable by the suitably nimble.

Ryutatsu was even closer than that, for the next distance was arm length and that was where most unarmed combat was engaged. But still there is separation and you need that distance for full power generally. Ryutatsu was even closer he was at elbow, knee, and headbutt range. At this range it was blocks and only the fastest could dodge, there was no room. It was just short of wrestling with an opponent. And Ryutatsu was among the fastest there was, this was his distance when not using the sword.

Shinku Yuki (Rising Snow)
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user strikes powerfully with their off-knee.
Special: --
Drawback: The user must be close to the foe for this technique to work.
Description: The user focuses their weight onto their main-foot, drawing their off-knee up and forward in a punishing knee strike that hits the foe in the groin or stomach. The user than resumes the stance.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hakanai Kaze (Fleeting Wind)

Ryutatsu wasn't done with one knee shot either. For he inverted his stance and aimed an new off knee attack at Shoko. This would be his other kneee as his stance was inverted. So Shoko would be trapped by the succession of off knee blows coming from either side. Ryutatsu was a good combo specialist and knew exactly what he was doing. Though Shoko would have to wonder why it was mostly legs for the moment.

Only time would tell Ryutatsu's strategy. But Ryutatsu was taking it mostly easy with the other boy for this was among his lowest power hits he had. If he was really try to destroy the boy he would be mixing up styles all over the place. But as it stood these blows while in tight quarters could be dodged by getting out of such quarters. All Shoko would have to do was stand back or block.

But Ryutatsu knew this so why would he do such easy attacks. The answer was somewhat obvious because Ryutatsu was teaching the boy how to move in a close combat environment. All his attacks were made so there would be time to react and be able to be learned from. So his knee attacks while swift and in tight quarters were less about pain and more about learning.

Kitokaze (Returning Wind)
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, following a sucessful Hitoshirezu Kaze, spins to face forward again while delivering a round-kick with their main foot.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: After successfully completing a Kitokaze, the user lifts their main-foot as they turn to face forward again, swinging it in a powerful round-kick that strikes the foe in the shoulder or neck. The user then resumes the stance.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hitoshirezu Kaze (Hidden Wind).

-Flashback-
This battle was freeing Ryutatsu's mind and sending him into happier memories. This spar and teaching match with Shoko was taking him back to the basics of Gintsuki. He was relearning the moves that he learned in the other dojo of Kumo. Ryutatsu move several steps ahead in his mind picturing every foe possible and moves he could possibly use. This was why he was always ready with a reaction.

Ryutatsu would have to deliver Hitoshirezu Kaze (Hidden Wind) first by spinning around his opponent. Then while his back was still facing him strike out with a off elbow attack. But that would be only a taste of his strike as he continued to spin until he was facing now the back of his opponent. But that last spin would bring another strike with it.

Ryutatsu would bring his main leg into a round house kick empowered by all that spinning. And Because of that he would be able to effectively dodge most taijutsu counterattacks. More so he would be moving so fast that few seal would be quick enough to get off in time to avoid the strike. It was a bit of a grand movement for Ryutatsu but then again he did like showing off.

Yaibasattou (Blade Rush)
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Special: ---
Effect: In Description
Drawback: Leaves back exposed, if the enemy can get to it that is. Heavy on chakra usage. Can only be used 5 times a day
Description: The user gathers chakra into their bladed weapon of choice and then dashes forward for about 5-10 meters with the blade pointed outward. The chakra is released in a burst that flies outward from the blade in a cone shape. Aside from the impact of the blade, the chakra involved causes the enemy to be knocked backward, breaking through most defenses. Even if the strike is blocked, the force of the chakra will usually push an opponent back, leaving them open.
Limit: Must have a bladed weapon equipped

Though it seemed as if Shoko had successfully managed to break away from the taijutsu-user, the temporarily-blinded sensei seemed to close the gap quickly within just a matter of seconds. The intense rain drops that poured from the malevolent grey clouds which were sparking with electricity had clouded Shoko's vision. 

Shoko rushed to wipe off the water from his face and clear his eyes. However, when he could see again, a hard, swift knee swung out and caught him squarely in the ribs. Shoko staggered, he rubbed his chest to see if there had been any lasting damage but there was no crack. Shoko's relief was short lived as another knee rammed itself straight at Shoko, barely giving him time to react.

Nonetheless, Shoko used his quick instinct a reflexes to catch the knee aimed at his stomach. Grunting, he used his dwindlng energy to pull them closer as his main hand slapped an explosive talisman unto the knee that he caught. However Shoko wasn't done yet, for the first time that battle he slipped his other hand out of his battle cloak.

Shoko's trusty tanto blade seemingly shone in the dull grey skies. Shoko fuelled this tanto with most of his remaining chakra as he lunged it forward with it, putting everything he had inisde that thrust. But Shoko suddenly stopped, he had lost sight of his objective, letting the heat of the battle control him instead of sticking to what he wanted to actually achieve. Winning wasn't his goal, Hell! The combo he was about to perform was possibly lethal. In the near distance, the fire from the previous explosion was still steadily growing. 

Shoko dropped to his Tanto, mentally scolding himself for allowing the battle to drag out this far. The black and white clad genin fell down to his knees as he panted furiously.

"I-I... I quit!... That's enough for now" Shoko spluttered inbetween gasps.

Ryutatsu quickly dislodged the tag that was on him tearing it to shreds. But when the other genin surrendered Ryutatsu accepted it. This was after all a spar match and not a true battle. Ryutatsu still kept an eye on him for any tricks either which way. He had just shown how acrobatic and agile he was in combat. Not to mention he hadn't even showed off his full speed.

"Shoko, I accept. If you join me I will give you a tour of the facilities you can use to train with. And I will introduce you to some instructors. Hopefully, you sign up and join as a true student." With that Ryutatsu who wasn't even breathing hard from that short bout walked off in the direction of the main building. While he walked he reminisced on all the work he had put into himself to be so athletic.

He remembered how he would usually include various height obstacles and jump around to compensate for his short height. But he knew before long he wasn't going to be among the short ones. For he was fairly tall as a ten year old. Either way it would be a good lesson to put Shoko through the same jumping obstacles that he had trained with. Wait until he sees that training with the flying metal pieces.

Shoko stood speechless for a few seconds as the enigmatic sensei disappeared into the distance. Slowly, the corners of Shoko's lips curled into a smile. Staring up into the clearing sky, Shoko broke into quaint laughter. He marvelled at how the raging clouds were now clear of rain and as clear as they could be. The bright and radiant sun slowly emerged from said clouds, spreading it's wonderful bliss in the form of solar rays.

The recently enlightened genin looked behind him, flabbergasted to discover that the rain had seemingly put the fire out with not much effort. Leaving the only evidence of inferno; the charred grass that lay behind. Shoko stretched his arms before nimbly picking his tanto off from the floor, if he could he would try to sharpen up his moves by the end of the day.

Shoko approached a wooden training dummy, he practised a few preliminary strokes before going unto the the dummy. Shoko performed no stance, he swung out his blade in a diagonal arc, letting his momentum carry him a bit forward as he sliced at the training dummy. Though unsatisfied, Shoko acknowledged he was making progress, he swung again, and again, and again.

Shoko steadily charged a good amount of chakra that he had into his hands. With his fingers curled around the hilt of his blade, he released the chakra into the tanto. The whole process was similar to using a separating funnel, he had to give a lot of chakra but be careful enough to refrain from releasing too much. Shoko took a deep breath, then dashed forward for about five metres. The force of his blade bashed into the wooden pole, instantly severing it.

Shoko felt right about good just then, though he had been chewed out a couple times by staff for being too aggressive against the training dummy and that he'd have to pay for a new one. That did nothing to sully his mood, he felt rejuvenated from this successful attempt and was seriously determined on finishing this move that he had began learning.

Shoko thought it was obvious that the move existed before then but he couldn't remember the name. Shoko mentally shrugged, he looked left, then right. When he was certain no one was watching, Shoko turned on the training dummy. He pumped the remaining chakra he had left into his tanto blade. Shoko's feet rushed forward in a near-blur as short sword met with the dummy. A smirk that was hidden by Shoko's scarf appeared as not only did the sword cleave into the target with unimaginable force, but the remnants of the target went flying as well.

Gosei Ryuu: Ryusen (Dragon Strike)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User takes a step back and cuts the air in front of them through a dimensional rift in a sphere shape.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The basis of Gosei Ryuu techniques. The user stands with their sword in the sheathe. Grabbing the handle of the sword near the Tsuba, the user thereafter steps forward with the front leg while unsheathing the blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. So swift is this technique that it is akin to a "flash", taking no movements to perform. When striking, the user is able to use air to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind, to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the user launches at foes. Upon sheathing the sword, the user must sacrifice a movement to do so. Depending on the user’s Class Level depends on the distance of the strike.
"D" Class - Travels 10 Meters
"C" Class - Travels 15 Meters
"B" Class - Travels 20 Meters
"A" Class - Travels 30 Meters
"S" Class - Travels 40 Meters

This technique is capable of destroying Overview Items as a power attack by sacrificing 2 movements for a 1 Movement strike. This technique may be performed without a sheathe so long as they use the same motion as if using one.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin, Must know all Stances.

Ryutatsu noticed, the new Genin instead of following went straight to training. That was fine with the young master of the dojo. Ryutatsu shrugged to himself and began training something he knew well how to do from the sheath but now he was going to practice without one. He took own of his old steel sword for this exercise. He placed himself where he could observe the other genin while he trained himself.

Ryutatsu stood about twenty meters from the target that he had chosen. This was going to be interesting only because he had never done it without a sheath. But Ryutatsu had mastered the Dragon Strike variation within Busosen. The only difference was using the sheath provided enough resistance to build up proper speed for the strike. Both variations shared the same roots.

He knew if he was to become a true master of the sword he needed both variations. Simpler said than done he knew though. At least though he knew the basics as he dropped into a familiar position, then he modified it for his purposes. He was going to pretend the sheath was there for now. Because the motion would be the same either way. Then he closed his eyes to focus for the moment.

Ryutatsu stayed in position for the time mentally preparing himself for the move. The build up always took longer than the execution. For in Burēdono Kenseijin it was cutting a Dimensional Rift and in Busosen it was basically a sliver of wind itself. Not much in the difference in it but a difference. Ryutatsu ready his body position for the proper style, adjusting from Busosen.

Though the two were not dissimilar enough that Loki wasn't able to teach him the Busosen version with the Burēdono Kenseijin version. So it was really a state of mind to do this without a sheath. She didn't need one back then, it was literally a back drop to the maneuver. Now Ryutatsu was going to perform the same feat. Opening his eyes he saw not his target but memories before his eyes.

Ryutatsu was seeing that past battlefield when he was lost and met Shiki Senri and Loki Dye. Those two were battling some how powered necromancer demons and Ryutatsu was just the extra battling the horde of undead beside them. Ryutatsu though did learn and became much better through the battle. Battle was what gave him the experience to know and instead of just think about a move.

Ryutatsu's eyes clear as he now see's his target in front of him. He was using a sort of mental meditation for the ultra speed movements that would be required to do this without a sheath. He stood there for a good while then he began to go through something akin with a stretching exercise. He would slowly make the motion he would need for the strike. He would do this a few times over and over.

Ryutatsu was determining the path of the strike all the way through. He was slowly taking his time and partially as a lesson for to himself on how to be with students. Ryutatsu knew he reacted and moved to fast sometimes and missed things. His timing was not quite perfect as a battle in Kumo Dome against the Old Man had proven. But he can improve and will improve.

Ryutatsu slowly made each movement then he began to speed up. Each time he swung it was smoother and faster. But yet he wasn't going at max speed yet. He was just warming up for the main event. This was practice so the need to rush was not there. But at the same time the need for careful accuracy was there. Speed without precision was useless so he needed to get it right.

Ryutatsu was finally ready to do the full monty. So Ryutatsu went back to his starting position and readied his mind and body for that moment. His muscles bunched in anticipation. Then like a coiled spring his arm and sword moved so fast that it was akin to a flash. Barely the blur of his movement could be seen but that was the point. Ryutatsu was using basically Shunshin of the arm.

This was what made Ryutatsu known as a speedster. There are other speedsters out there but Ryutatsu relied on his. He has come a long way from those beginning days but now it seemed he was back there again. For this was one of his initial moves that he learned. And now he was finally learning a variation of it. With such speed he cut not just through the air but the very dimension he was in.

The cut sent a blade of not energy and not air but something straight at the dummy. The curved blade flew through the air with the same speed of the slashing motion itself. This made the flying air blade for lack of better term move in a instant. Though the further the distance the more the chance of dodging. But this was a thing that gave him a distant weapon with a melee sword.

Ryutatsu watched the sickle of the air blade all the way through. It traveled twenty meters in the blink of an eye but still he could follow it. The blade struck the dummy with a decent amount of power. But Ryutatsu felt he could do a little better. So He re-positioned himself. A closed his eyes to concentrate on the power as well as the speed of the strike.

Then when he felt he was ready he sent a second strike out towards the target dummy. This time with enough force to slice it in two. It was no mean feat for a ten year old to have so much power and speed. But that was the goal of all the intense training and even more intense battles. He knew that such techniques would save him if used right. He lived a life of battle.

Shoko woke up early the next morning. The events of the previous day came to his memories late, he recalled after his intense training that he was offered a small guest room in the dojo. Shoko was already starting to see the possibility of a future here but was still making up his mind on whether he wanted to stay. He stretched as he climbed out of his futon, it was time for early morning training.

After hastily gobbling up a few protein bars, Shoko emerged into the training yard. From the looks of it, he wasn't the only one with the idea of early morning training. Actually, it seemed like a usual routine for the students at the dojo. Guessing from how many of them were busy practising jutsus, improving their physical prowess and sparring. Shoko had half the mind to come back later, when it was less busy. But he decided against, this would also be a good time to observe the other students.

Shoko strolled over to a fitness track that lay situated in near the east of the courtyard. He grabbed a bottle of water among the many that were there for people to take freely. He gulped it all down within a matter of seconds, lavishing in the freshness and vitality it brought to his system. He would need to be in his top condition or at least energized before getting on with his training. This morning he would be learning the body-flicker technique.
