A new training area has been created on the outskirts of the village at the kage's request. Fashioned primary from the reclaimed ships and locally sourced rock, the area is sufficiently large to hold forty shinobi at once. Training dummies, old cannons, and other tools are at hand for those wanting to practise their genjutsu, taijutsu, ninjutsu, or even medical arts. It holds a battle ring for those who want to enhance their damage and an indoor archery range for those who want to work upon their accuracy.

They had been the last words the dragonkin female had spoken, her strange power overtaking her own body as she disappeared in a flurry of wind and chakra. He had pondered the meaning behind her words for some time, invigorated by the presence of his own kind within the village, and recalling the rush of their battle as he trained within the villages grounds. He stood now where the outskirts of the village pushed up into a specialized area for his own reckless style of combat, and thinking of Amri, he meditated, sitting patiently in the center of the Dragon Peak Special Area as onlookers climbed its many stairs.
The Area seemed designed to his tastes, though he knew this could not be true, as his flickering chakra surged. He molded the physical and spiritual. Folded layers of his will into power.

There was a dark chakra aura emanating from arouond Go's large frame; the same as that fateful day when he'd met Amri. He had been the only Dragonkin in the village for as long as he could remember, and only since his travel to Alleve's Hallow had he seen others with his features and manner. Around him, a pulse of chakra flickered, black, heavy, tinged with gold that flickered into the unmistakable shape of six arms, carrying blades. Invigorated by the memory, and the arcane spell enchanting the training grounds, his experience aided in the ease of this new forming.

Like controlled flame, leaking from his pours, bathing the stone floor with warm light. The presence he emitted was monstrous, the pillars holding together the Dragon Peak Special Area shook, but soon steadied themselves as reinforcing seals activated. This area would not break so easily. Good. He used the bladed arms to prop his body off of the ground without moving from his seated position, fluctuating the pressure to attempt a brief crab walk, then a lurching, dragging half-run, then adopting a gait something akin to a spider. He retracted the aura and place his feet on the ground in one instant, only to flash across the arena, aura re-ignited, all six swords pointed at the new collection of chakra attempting to enter.

"Who is there?"

He had been led to believe this particular zone had been reserved for he alone.

"Hmm? No one important." Amri responded to Go's question, as she walked into the area. Her arm would begin to glow once again with the power that she showed before. However, this time around Amri seemed to far more in control of herself. Even though she was the one that was in control at the moment, she could still from time to time feel the pull of the spirit that now dwelled in her arm. She gripped her fist and as she did so a Halo formed around her Wrist like it had done when the spirit had taken her over for a time.

She looked down at the halo that formed, and groaned a bit. While she was in control her body was still doing things that she had no real control over. It was the spirit fighting back against her. She turned her attention back to Go, "Hello, again. Do you often train by yourself? Seems rather boring"

He did not brag, he said it with sadness, tinged with anger. Like describing a cage.

“How did you move your scales like that, before, when we trained with the Mizukage? I have never seen that sort of prowess, and I am ignorant of most of Dragonkin culture.”

He stared at her, fully taking in her form and manner for the first time, her reply, and without his control his chakra rose up in response. Though the dark aura once emanating from his scales died down upon recognizing who it was, his chakra points were now abuzz with energy, specifically those around his eyes. Perhaps following his intent - to analyze, to study, to know - and perhaps merely as an extension of the training mindset he’d been forced to adopt in Kiri, he experimented with his physical and mental energies even as they overlapped his vision.

It was similar to his Byakugan, but different in all the ways that actually mattered. Visibly, his face and expression were not altered, his veins did not bulge, his eyes did not seem to change color or clarity. But their focus, now on Amri’s answer to his brief questioning, carried with it the impression of motion accompanied by light, by visual chakra information. He could see the..flow of...what he did not quite understand. Energy, perhaps. Floating through and suffusing the room. Their bodies. Clinging to them as chakra did, moving like ripples and colliding with her scales.

His hand raised, then fell just as quickly, pulled back. She had trained with him before, and perhaps she was willing to help him with more. He could not tell what bloodlimit clan she might hail from, and he had never seen manipulation on the scale she was capable of performing. He strained his eyes, careful not to activate the sightcurse, to use only this new sensation in his eyes to feed him what he needed to know.

Musclemass
Rank: "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: A manipulation of the body that increases the strength ranks of the user as well as striking power.
Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot be used with Armour.
Description: When used a large amount of biomass is shifted throughout the body of the user, molding it into a more black-biomass muscular body. While active, it boosts the user's strength to immense proportions, increasing the damage done in close combat and the damage and distance of thrown objects. Musclemass increases the user's melee damage and increases the speed at which they strike. Objects thrown with Musclemass will hit harder, fly further, and move faster than objects thrown at the user's normal strength; upgrades will augment the distance. All of the user's combat abilities, save for the Devastators will be enhanced by Musclemass. The weakness of the Musclemass is that it does not actually modify user's attack abilities, only makes them more potent. When first learned this technique increases striking attacks by 20 Points worth of Damage while increasing knockback by 50%. When learned the 2nd time it increases striking attacks by 30 Points worth of Damage while increasing knockback by 75%. At this level, a charged attack (2 movements Preparing) will turn any human opponent it strikes into bloody chunks. When learned the 3rd time it increases striking attacks by 40 Points worth of Damage while increasing knockback by 100%.
Limit: Must be a Protean. Must know Full Body Transformation.

"Hmm... that's to e expected of Humans of this land I suppose. Although I can't say I have the same problem." Amri said to Go as she looked down at her arms once again and her scaled began to move. they appeared around her body and then began to sink into her very skin like fish moving through an ocean. As the scales went into her flesh her muscle mass seemed to increase rapidly. Her body structure began to bulk up but only slightly, however, it was still clear that it had done so. She clinched her fist and as she did so, there was an audible sound.

the sound was the sound of the power of her fingers clashing into the palm of her hand. She looked at him and then said as she waved at him, "You mean like this? Ah yeah that's right. You're not a native of Alleve's so you wouldn't know." Her muscle mass began to recede once again and as he scale began to over out of her flesh and back onto the surface of her skin once again. Scales condensed around her left wrist so that all of the scales that were present on her body were reduced to something of a skin tight bracelet.

"I'm from the Scaleless Weyr. We are the most powerful and respected Dragon Weyr in Alleve's." She held up her hand as the scale bracelet, spread out over her body and then sunk back in again. "We are each blessed with the ability to move our scales as we see fit, to grant us a host of unique abilities. This is possible because, our scale naturally draw in life energy constantly present in nature. It gives our scales a life of their own in some sense." As the scale sunk into her flesh once again her muscles bulked up. She sent out a rather lazy punch, but a great force would accompany the strike she just performed.

She gripped her fist several more times as she was still getting use to this new added strength that the Muscle Mass technique was giving her. She began to stretch out her arms and legs. To loosen up this new muscles, and sensations.

With this new knowledge embedded in Yoko’s mind, she decided that the first point of call was surely to study under a master’s tutorage. She knew for a fact that she was far more skilled at the stealth arts than most and could have certainly passed on more than just a few tips and tricks to a new starter. Thus, she applied this logic to the crafting world, surely the member of staff she employed at the forge could aid her in her endeavour.

And with that, the youth sought the master out and began to ask him about his experience with the crafting arts. What was the first thing that he made? How long had he been crafting? Was there a particular medium that he specialised in or a craft? Naturally, the craftsman responded by offering all of this information freely, perhaps because of her appearance or her status as the Mizukage. However, Yoko suspected that he was merely proud of his own hard work.

And thus, it was through this period of training that the youth learned how multiple people could work on a particular piece at any given time. Be it someone holding a sword while the other strikes it, or the sowing of multiple components of a garment. Throughout the training, she tried to keep her mind specifically on the craft and medium that she sought to work: leather and armour. Anything she could learn about the process could have potentially been of assistance.

With every passing moment, the youth felt that her crafting skill was increasing, from learning how to light a forge, to the fundamental ingredients used to tan animal hides. However, she was seeking to advance in one field, in particular, the aforementioned crafting of leather armour. Now whilst this was not an area that her master specialised in personally he was able to offer more than a few helpful tips.

And it was through this impartment of knowledge that the youth found herself in what was known as an apprenticeship even if it was only for half a day. She shadowed the master as he went about working various pieces of leather into armour, showing her the various stages. From the initial piece of rawhide to the final finished product. Yoko had to admit that there were a lot more stages to the process than what she had initially believed.

For example, various chakra seals and inscribments could be added to the armour or the crafted piece in general. These all carried different effects on the medium and allowed it to possess certain qualities that it normally would not have possessed. The master explained that Yoko could impart an effect that mimicked her Umbrite helmet, helping her to hide in the darkness if she so desired. However, he was also quick to point out that this was only one of many different benefits that could be added to the finished product.

With such a keen desire to create leather armour, it was hardly a surprise that Yoko’s knowledge about the particular medium and product started to advantage at a higher level than the others. The master explained this to be a result of having a specific focus, a trait that was rather common amongst crafters, some even referred to it as a crafter’s art as opposed to their aforementioned path.

The master explained that being an armourer and being a leather user were generally regarded as two separate crafts but for the purpose of an artisan’s skills, she would fall under the class of armourer. As a result, she stood to benefit from learning how to get the best deals on materials, or how to examine particular pieces of armour to spot fakes. Yoko could relate to this on a certain level, as she already possessed a keen interest in traps, knowing the era that the design was created and so on and so forth.

If she was able to reproduce this effect for armours then perhaps she could apply it on the battlefield, after all, it stood to reason that those in well-crafted sets of armourer were of a higher wealth than those in shabby attire. Of course, she was keen not to assume that someone was unskilled solely based on appearance. But still being able to identify legendary pieces of armour certainly seemed like quite the skill.

And it was this aforementioned training and conversation that led the master into suggesting Yoko specialise in the creation of purely leather armour. As clearly the process of creating leather armour differed substantially from the process of making metal or dragon scale armour etc. However, there was some debate of how specific one had to be with this particular technique, was leather to broad of an area? Only time would tell. As Yoko learned how to work the material in question she would undoubtedly learn the nuances of the craft.

A master, for example, was undoubtedly a master at their respective skill. But could they easily change materials? Perhaps so but would a master leather shoe crafter be outdone by someone who used a different material but transitioned over? It seemed rather doubtful to Yoko. But even still she still wondered. After all, in the shops, she had seen a lot of differentiation even between leather shoes.

One could buy calf leather, for example, crocodile, or even ostrich, all offered a different finish and were prized for different reasons. Therefore, it stood to reason—in Yoko’s mind at least—that the process of crafting them was different, even if the difference itself was only a subtle one. It was this exact knowledge that she sought to acquire: the feel of the material that could only be acquired through experience.

Now it was time to work on a piece of her own—of course, this was all done under the specific guidance and observation of her master. But even so it was undeniably hers, and she took a degree of pride in this notion, the notion that she was actually going to produce something that someone or something could actually use. The master leads her into what he called a small room of materials.

To Yoko however, it appeared to be a massive stock of various hides no doubt taken from all manner of exotic creature. As they walked around the room, Yoko hopped up onto the master’s shoulder so that she could fully appreciate the information he was imparting to her, he explained that different materials were easier to work than others. The umbrite that she already possessed, for example, was arguably one of the hardest materials to work of all.

Leather, on the other hand, was almost always easier than its metal counterpart, even if just because of the lack of intense heat required. This was something that the youth already had a rudimentary understanding of, as she had been the one responsible for the commission of the villages forge, she remembered buying a lava powered forge so that it could reach even greater heats. She even mused that perhaps some of the metals that were presently unworkable was simply because they lacked the means to create the heat required.

The master suggested that they start with a synthetic leather material, the added material not only made it cheaper but also meant that it was suitable for mass machine production. As a requirement of this, the material had to be resistant enough to withstand the roughness of the machines, and by extension the errors of newbies. The logic behind this seemed quite understandable, so Yoko agreed, after all, she could always progress to harder materials in the future.

There was no need to try and run before she could walk, so to speak. And thus, the material the youth was going to use had been selected. Now they just needed to pick out a pattern, and then they could set to work creating it. Of course, one of the first things the master was to ask was the size of the pattern they were to be working on. After all, Yoko’s small stature greatly differed from this man’s.

This was, of course, a key point to be aware of, that each garment could be created for a specific person or it could follow a general guide that means that it fits a lot of people in a given size but not perfectly. Now given that Yoko wanted to create her own armour in the future, it seemed wise to learn how to craft armour for someone of her exact measurements. That way she could apply this knowledge in the future to create a superior product.

Clearly the tutelage of this master was very useful in this endeavour, however, if Yoko was going to fully understand how to craft items then she still had a lot to learn. And if she was going to achieve this goal then she would need to fully understand the art, this, of course, meant that there would be certain elements that she would have to learn on her own. An autodidact of sorts, even if this meant simply finding the information from books, or from constant trial and error.

After all the fact remained in her mind that she did not simply want to achieve professional status, she wanted to fully master the skill, potentially developing techniques that nobody else had even thought of. In order to achieve such a bold aim, self-study was clearly required thus for a spell the youth decided to work on this piece of armour by herself. She carefully grafted various pieces of armour together, planning out exactly how she wanted the armour to appear aesthetically as well as how she wanted it to perform.

Too much armour in a particular place invariably reduced the user's dexterity, thus she had to toe a fine line before increasing the armour class to a level where it would impede her movement and too little to a stage where it provided no notable protection. In order to understand the exact level that she needed to reach the youth decided to make a short trial version, in which she sampled multiple thicknesses of armour to see which she preferred.
