Laokou's House (Now Training)

[Jukahn Laokou]

Satsugaite no Jutsu (Killing Hands Technique) Cont'd

Laokou had trained all day, practicing and learning new jutsu so he was beginning to tire and fatigue. He had to finish the jutsu soon or he'd have to postpone it till morning, which wasn't something he wanted to do.

He stopped performing the jutsu for a moment to give himself time to rest. He sat down next to the halfway destroyed plant and leaned up against the cave wall, looking at his house and remembering the scroll that had been left at his doorstep today.

If Master Seragi was coming tomorrow it would be likely that it would be early in the morning. He had to hurry up and get this done so he could rest well before another day of hard training.

Trying to block out the exhaustion that was setting in, Laokou stood to his feet and made the handseals once again. He then focused large amounts of chakra into a ball in his hands. He splaced his palms over the remaining half of the plant and gave it everything he had. All of his remaining focus, chakra, and energy went into this final jutsu.

The leaves of the plant began to disintigrate slowly. After a few moments they were eaten away down to the base of the plant. At this point the only parts of the plant that were left was the base and roots. Laokou moved his hands down ono the base of the plant and continued to pulse his chakra through his palms to finish off the plant.

This part of the plant seemed tougher and more dense than the rest, so it took a bit more time to destroy it. Laokou slowly pushed his way through the base of the plant until finally there was nothing left of it. Some of the roots that were sticking up out of the ground had even been eaten away.

Wanting to get the whole plant and finish out his training, Laokou placed his palms on the ground where the plant had been growing up from and kept the final bit of his chakra flowing to destroy the plant.

Laokou felt dizzy after this as his chakra had been depleted to near nothing. he clumsily walked back to the back door of his house and walked inside. He couldn't even make it to his bed. he collapsed on the couch just shortly after locking his back door behind him.

Jab
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A simple chakra filled punch. Fairly quick but lacks some of the raw, destructive power of higher techniques. This is mainly used when the Medical-Nin does not have the space to wind up a fully powered strike. Can disorient some foes and usually sends them hurdling backwards.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Looks exactly like a normal punch, only filled with a quick burst of chakra. Still much more powerful than a normal punch, but realitively weak when compared to the rest of the techniques within the fighting style.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

Laokou woke up early the next morning. He sat up on the couch and decided to head for a quick shower before Master Seragi arrived. He grabbed some clean clothes from the dresser in his room and headed for his bathroom to take a shower.

No sooner had he gotten out of the shower and gotten dressed had he heard a knock at his door. When he walked through the house from the kitchen with a glass of water and a fried egg sandwich he saw his door laying in two pieces in the middle of his living room and a young looking woman standing in the doorway.

"Master Seragi?" Laokou asked sheepishly. "You got it, kid. We don't have time to waste. If you aren't the right material for this I have another pupil who I can teach." Seragi said as she grabbed Laokou by the collar and dragged him out the back door of his own house, or rather, through the back door.

"Alright, with this fighting style you either got it or you don't. I want you to try and break the earth beneath you into several pieces with a punch. Focus and control your chakra by gathering it into your arm muslces. Then, release the chakra just as your punch connects." Seragi told Laokou. She tapped her foot impatiently as he stood there scratching his head for a moment.

Laokou entered a fighting stance after he noticed she was getting very frustrated with him. He began to gather chakra for a moment and then punched the ground. There was a fist shaped indention about three inches thick where he had punched.

"Kid, you've got two more tries before I go back to train my other pupil." Seragi stated, still tapping her foot and now raising one eyebrow at Laokou. I can't let an opportunity like this get away from me! He thought as he got into the stance again.

Laokou gathered a much larger amount of chakra into his arm this time than he had previously and at a faster pace. he then punched the ground again. This punched sent out a small tremor about 15 feet in diameter from his position and cracked the ground several feet from him in various directions.

"I knew you were too good to be true. No one at your age is that good." She said as she started to walk away. "You'd better hurry up with that third try before I leave or you're out."

At hearing these words, Laokou became very angry. A prime chance to learn some rare and valuable techniques was passing him up, not to mention getting to actually learn some offensive techniques that didn't involve ninjutsu.

Once again Laokou took his stance, but this time he used even more chakra than before and he gathered it even faster than before, too. His punch struck the ground with astounding force as he shouted..."Rrrrraaaaahhhhhhh!!!"

Seragi stumbled from the shockwave his punch had sent out along the ground. Laokou fell into a small hole in the ground he had just created by breaking the ground with his punch.

"Hhmm, I guess all you needed was a little anger to fuel your punch then, eh, Kid?" Seragi asked with a chuckle. "Either way, looks like you were the real deal. I guess it isn't a good idea to doubt the village elders when they speak highly of a gennin." She said as she stepped towards Laokou and flicked him on the head.

Laokou went flying and crash landed in the cave behind his house. He slowly got up as he was bruised in several places from the impact of the fall on the hard rocks. "Ow, dang, what was that for?" Laokou asked as he rubbed his head.

"For making me wait so long on you to get it done, that's what it was for." She replied. "Now, I want you to practice that on the cave walls. As fast as you can gather a fair amount of chakra into your arm and do a quick jab. You've already done it a few times, so just pick up where you left off."

Laokou did as he was told. He figured his hands would be sore after this from punching rocks, but he didn't want his new sensei to leave as soon as she'd arrived, so he walked up to the wall of the cave near the entrance and gathered chakra in his arm.

He then swung another punch as he had done to the ground before, releasing the chakra upon impact. The wall cracked slightly under the pressure and what appeared to be dust shook itself loose fromt the cavern ceiling.

Punch
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: An upgraded version of Jab. Although this technique is slower than Jab, the difference in power between the two is immense. The user gathers a great amount of chakra into their fists and then releases it upon their opponent.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Similar to Jab only with a slower wind up and much more destructive power. This is an attack that can cause some serious damage to an opponent.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

"Arlight, Kid, now that you've got the hang of that, it seems, now you're gonna try to get the full power that this style has to offer. Instead of doing a quick jab, you're going to draw your arm back all the way, giving you ample time to build up a good amount of chakra and maximize your punching power. I want you to do it once on the cave wall, and then you'll practice the rest on me."

Laokou gave a look of surprise and anguish as he heard her words, but he dared not to contradict her. That flick on the forehead really hurt. He did as she told him, drawing his right arm back until it was behind his head. During this he would be gathering his chakra into his arm.

Once he reached the peak of his draw he would launch his blow forward towards the cave wall. It struck the cave wall with incredibleforce compared to what he had normally seen from Taijutsu. A large chunk of the wall fell onto the cave floor from the swall of the cave in several pieces.

Punch Cont'd.......

One try! This kid really is something special. I wonder what it is that drives him to do so well. Or is he just this naturally talented? Seragi would think as she saw Laokou break the rock with one punch.

"Yeah! I got it. That was amazing." Laokou shouted, jumping into the air with excitement. Laokou turned to face Seragi. "Master Seragi, is this satisfactory to you, or shall I continue on the cave wall?"

"You can start practicing with me now. If you can move me an inch from where I'm standing, then we'll move on to the next technique." Seragi stated as she performed a strange Jutsu. It seemed to encase her frame in a layer of chakra.

"Don't hold back. You won't hurt me at all, and I highly doubt you'll move me." Seragi stated as she walked towards Laokou. Laokou would draw his fist back and prepare to attack. With his chakra gathered properly he let his punch fly. With all the might he could muster, the punch hit Seragi square in the stomach, but she didn't even flinch.

"Come on, Kid. You gotta really wind up for this one. This technique is more for power rather than speed like the last one you technique you did." She said to him, chuckling a bit as she did so.

"Okay then." Laokou said as he leaped a fair distance away from Seragi and began to focus his chakra. This time he took a moment or two to gather it as opposed to doing it instantly like before. After He felt he had built up the required amount of chakra he sprinted forward towards Seragi and unleashed his punch.

It hit, and Seragi did move, but onl just enough so that it was noticable to the naked eye. Laokou was in awe. All the power he could gather and she barely moved. His punches could crack solid stone easily and she just took one of them standing.

Punch Cont'd.......

"Not bad, Kid, but if you expect to fend off an attacker with a hit like that, you're sorely mistaken. Now, come at me again, and again and again, until you can't muster anything else. Then we'll get some lunch." Seragi stated.

"Very well then, Sensei." Laokou said as he jumped back away from her again and drew his fist back. He began to gathe chakra into his fist, focusing with all the power his mind could muster on maximizing the amount of chakra in the smallest space.

Laokou charged forward again, letting out a battle cry as he did so......"RRrrrraaaaaahhhhhh!!!" He threw his fist forward. Laokou felt his knuckles connect with the wall of chakra surrounding his sensei and he immediately released the built up chakra in his hand. There was a loud thud, as if Laokou had punched a large piece of wood, and then a silent pause.

This time he had done absolutely nothing. His punch had no effect other than making a thudding noise. What jutsu was this? That was the question that rushed through Laokou's mind as he jumped back and prepared another blow.

"We're gonna keep going with this until you move me again. I wasn't going all out before, but I am now. I expect you to be the best, Laokou. Don't disappoint me." Seragi stated as the layer of chakra on her body got thicker and more vibrant.

She's been holding back with that jutsu?!?! Incredible! As Laokou thought this his face was overcome with an unexplainable expression that was a fusion of amazement, fear, and admiration.

After a moment or two of gathering his chakra whilst admiring his new sensei, Laokou finally thought it a good idea to try another approach. His mind hatched a plan. If he could get her in midair, it would be easier to move her since she wouldn't have any footing to hold her in place. How could he get her in the air though?

Yes! that was it. Like his previous training, he'd break the ground under her. She couldn't have any footing with nothing to stand on. Laokou did draw his left arm back like he did his right, but he gathered chakr into it as well so he'd be able to deliver the two punches consecuatively.

"What's taking so long, Laokou? You'd better hurry up or we'll be here past lunch time." Seragi said with a chuckle as she watched her student stand there with his arm drawn back in a fighting stance.

Laokou would quickly leap high into the air towards his sensei. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Sensei!" Laokou shouted as he came down and delivered a punch with his left had to the ground at her feet, crushing it and causing it to cave in.

Before either of them hit the ground again, Laokou swung his right fist and hit Seragi in the stomach again, but this time she actually moved. She was thrown back several feet and skidded to a halt once she hit the ground on her feet.

"Got you, Sensei." Laokou said as he climbed out of the hole he had created only to be met with another flick to the forehead, sending him flying back down into the hold.

"Kid, that was pretty good. I didn't expect you to figure it out that fast. But next time, keep things as brief as possible, sheesh. Never forget that. A ninja's mind is always his ultimate weapon, no matter what jutsu he or she may know." Seragi said as she turned and walked into Laokou's house through the back doorway.

Man, I hate that stupid finger flick. i'll bet that's one of the techniques she'll teach me, though....... "Heh...." Laokou snickered at his own thoughts as he climbed out of the hole and went into his house a few moments after his sensei.

Once inside the house Laokou foung his Sensei setting up a rather large spread on his small kitchen table. Where did the food come from? Laokou thought to himself as he sat down across from his Sensei. "Where did all this food come from Sensei?" Laokou asked her.

"You probably didn't notice from the shock of me breaking down your door, but I had a backpack on, and as I walked through your house and grabbed you, I tossed it down on the couch. I always bring the food when I'm training a student. It saves a great deal of time that would normally be lost preparing the meal at their house." Seragi Replied as she opened a bottle of Orange juice and poured herself a glass.

"Why so much food though, it's only me and you?" He asked, scratching his head as he tried to find an answer in his head.

"I eat a fair amount myself, and i figured with all the training we're doing, you would too. It's all pretty healthy food, mind you. None of that greasy, salty, or sugary suff that most people eat these days. A shinobi's diet is as important as their training." Especially for kunoichi. She said to Laokou, whilst thinking the last bit with a chuckle in her mind as she looked down at her waist.

"I see. I'll keep that in mind, Sensei." Laokou said as he began to grab various things from the spread. After pouring himself a glass of orange juice he and Seragi began to eat.

Once the meal was finished, Seragi grabbed all of her supplies and put them away properly back into her backpack. it was now time to continue training.

World Shaking
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Gathering a good amount of Chakra into either index finger, the Medical-Nin is able to slam their finger into the earth below them and create a five foot wide, twelve foot long and ten feet deep fissure. This is used to disrupt attacks that come at the Medic from head on. It could also be used as cover when there is no other way to evade.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Standing with the legs shoulder length apart, the Medic briefly gathers chakra into their index finger before leaning forward and slamming their finger into the ground causing a fissure to occur.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

"Alright, Kid, it's time to resume your training. Let's go!" Seragi said as she tossed her backpack onto the couch again and walked out the back door. Laokou followed right behind her, eager to know what technique he'd learn next.

"Now, you're gonna be focusing a lot of chakra into your index finger. Once you've got enough so that it feels like your finger will explode, you'll slam your finger into the ground in front of you like so....." As Seragi said these words she would raise her left hand into the air and then bend her knees and slam it straight into the ground causing a large fissure to open in front of her.

"Sensei, With all this terrain destruction I won't have a back yard at this rate."Laokou replied. "Oh, well. I guess it can't be helped." He stated as he started focusing chakra into his index finger as he was instructed to. "So, I'm guessing this technique disrupts enemy taijutsu attacks? Am I right?" Laokou asked, still gathering chakra.

"You're correct, Laokou. If an enemy were to come right at you with a taijutsu based offense then you could easily stop them with this technique in most cases. Exceptions are if the opponent jumps before you use the technique or if they are a considerable amount faster than you are." Seragi explained to her student.

"Good, thank you, Sensei. I've learned that it's always a positive to know both the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques you know. That way you can compensate for them with proper planning and possibly another technique." Laokou said as the chakra in his finger began to reach near maximum capacity.

He thought he'd gathered enough chakra by now so he raised his right hand into the air and slammed his index finger into the ground. The ground cracked alon a rather big area in various directions around Laokou, but it wasn't the desired effect like his sensei had shown him.

"More chakra, kid. You need to focus so much chakra that you barely have the ability to control it. That's the only way you'll get enough chakra into the small space of your finger to achieve the desired outcome." Seragi said, frowning at her student, who was making her wait again.

Laokou nodded in concurence and focused his chakra again. Several momemnts of silence passed as Laokou reached a level of concentration he didn't think was possible. His finger began throbbing from the excess chakra that was stored inside.

He quickly slammed his finger into the ground again, but this time achieving a different result. The ground almost exploded back in his face. It wasn't quite as strong as his sensei's, but it was good for him.

World Shaking Cont'd....

"Alright, that was pretty good, but just for good measure let's try it one more time, just so I can be sure you can perform it at will." Seragi stated, looking a bit concerned about her pupil.

"Okay......" Laokou replied with a bit of hesitation in his voice. He didn't like his sensei's lack of belief in him. It frustrated him just a bit more than he expected too, which only made it worse.

Laokou gathered chakra into his index finger once again. It still throbbed from the previous time, and doing it agin didn't help any at all. He felt a stinging, tingly sensation all over his finger. Laokou didn't quit though, he went to his capacity just like before, and once he found a spot on the ground that hadn't already been shattered into pieces or turned into a gaping hole, he slammed his finger into the ground.

This result was even greater than the last for some reason. Laokou couldn't figure it out for certain, but he suspected that he was able to store more chakra in his finger the second time because it was partially numb from the first try.

He looked around at his back yard,or what was left of it. It looked like there were land mines all over the place and they'd all exploded at the same time. He chuckled as he awaited his next order.

Finger Flick
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: By gathering chakra into either middle finger, the user then "flicks" their opponent in the forehead which causes them to soar backwards.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: This technique is mainly used to get some distance between the user and their opponent. The user simply flicks their opponents forehead and sends them flying backwards for about fifteen feet at high speeds. Attack causes moderate damage and would most likely just give the opponent a slight disoriented feeling.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

"Alright, kid. Now it's time for one of my personal favorites. The Finger Flick. It's the technique I've been using on you repeatedly today for messing up and making me wait." Seragi said as she walked back through the rubble of Laokou's back yard towards the cracked cave entrance. "This is where you'll practice the Finger Flick. Just Gather chakra in your fi9nger like you did your fist, and then release it upon impact with the cave wall. I don't expect you to make the cave collapse, but by the time your done one more hit should collapse it. Now, get to it."

Laokou followed her back to the cave entrance, listening all the while so he knew what to do. He nodded in agreement and then turned to face the cavern wall. He prepared to flick the wall and started focusing his chakra into his middle finger. Since he'd done the World Shaking Technique properly he figured this would be a walk in the park.

He was wrong. The timing of moving your whole arm to do a punch or perform the World Shaking technique was much slower and easier to execute than the simple and quick motion of the finger. He'd have to be at his quickest to get this one down, otherwise his finger would be bruised and possibly broken. As he flicked the stone wall of the cavern entrance he gritted his teath from the pain letting out a slight hissing noise as he did this...."Aaaahhhh Ssssssssssss."

He grabbed his middle finger and began to rub the end of it. It throbbed with excessive amounts of pain. His flick didn't do anything to the wall, but the wall sure did a number on his finger......a number so high he couldn't count to it. After a moment or so of recuperating from the pain Laokou began to focus his chakra once more.

As the chakra levels reached their peak in his Finger Laokou concentrated with all his might on the timing of his next flick. He wasn't sure how many hits he could take if they were all like the previous one. He released his flick and hit the wall with everything he had. His finger didn't get hurt this time, but neither did the wall. Apparently his chakra had prevented harm to his finger but because he'd still released at the wrong time it still didn't do anything to the wall.

"Gah....Dang it! Rrrrrrhhhhhhhh!!!!" he said as he began to gather his chakra at a much more grueling rate than before. He almost overdid it, causing his finger to throb just from the amount of chakra contained in the small space. He then quickly released his finger again for another flick. There was a loud crack followed by a low crack. He had succeeded in breaking several smallpieces off of the wall around where his finger made contact, but he'd fractured his finger in the process.

He kept as calm and collected as possible as he tried to suppress the pain with his mind by concentrating on the bone healing jutsu he was about to perform. He swiftly performed the handseals as best he could despite increasing pain from the fractured finger. he then placed his left hand over his right middle finger and began to send chakra into the finger to mend the bone.

Just moments later the small fracture was fixed, although some of the pain still remained for a short time afterwards. He was getting rather frustrated now. He didn't like failing at learning anything, especially things that were invovled with his medical training. After all, that was all he had left of the memories of his mother and father. Laokou absolutely had to get it right. Failure wasn't an option if he wanted to become a skilled ninja like he promised his parents that he would before they left.

Feeling determined and full of fire from his memories he began to gather chakra into his middle finger once more, aiming to finally master the jutsu, or at least get the timing down so he could move on to mastering it. He quickly achieved the proper amount and unleashed his monstrously powerful flick yet again. This time with devastating results. Half of the wall crumbled into gravel sized pieces, making a small pile at his feet. his finger wasn't hurt by this flick either, so he obviously timed it correctly. Finally, a step towards mastery, but did his sensei think it was enough? he waited for her to make a remark as he turned to face her wit a smile on his face.
