Dully, the Tatsu heir stepped into the building wherein masters of the Taijutsu style of Gotetsu resided. He had come to the dojo to further his skills in the physical arts of fighting, which would in turn increase his strength and speed in movement capabilities. Ryuji grit his teeth as he was approached by a female that appeared to be around his age. She smiled graciously on her way towards him, yet he showed no sign of interest in the training kunoichi.

"Konichiwa," she said mid-bow before Ryuji, "I am Ibu Tokiyo, a novice here at the Gotetsu dojo... is there something that I may help you with...?" Her long pause indicated that she must have wanted the Genin to introduce himself as well. He grunted as he looked past the girl's gaze.

"Call me Tokkan. I am looking for a Gouken Shukun who will train me in the Gotetsu Taijutsu style - where is he?" Ryuji was always quick to get his desires off of his chest as he scanned the training area for a man who looked skilled in the Strong Iron arts. Tokiyo blushed at his directness and covered her mouth as to stifle her laughter, "Aki-shukun isn't here at the moment... but I could teach you the fundamentals of Gotetsu!" She slid into some sort of stance, signifying her seriousness in the matter. A bit annoyed, Ryuji let a small guffaw escape his mouth before he turned towards the door. "Later, girl." he said with a wave of the hand; in the instant that he lifted his hand, he would find that Tokiyo had quickly managed to converge from his back to his front in nearly seconds. Ryuji, startled by her speed, took note of the girl's stance as she positioned herself in it once more.

"Tokkan-kun, please." The Ibu pupil seemed hellbent on training Ryuji in Gotetsu and he reluctantly agreed to the affair. He hadn't the time to waste waiting on some old fool to return to the dojo. With a foul taste in his mouth, he followed her to the center of the training ground where they began to immediately train. She again got into position as Ryuji stood there just watching. His eyes analyzed only the important parts of her physique at the given moment, which were her legs, arms and face. Her lavender eyes shimmered under the lighting as her countenance turned a bit stern: "Okay, first lesson is to learn the proper stance of Gouken, the Ichiban Kamae." Tokiyo's left arm was placed behind her back, her knees where slightly bent and her right arm was extended toward Ryuji. This is the third time that she had entered such a stance and Ryuji was impressed that she held it so... dourly. It appealed to him that she did indeed know a thing or two about Gotetsu, but he wouldn't be so easily wooed by her technique. With a sharp breath, Ryuji attempted to mirror her stance.

Slowly he pulled himself downward, as to rest slightly at the knees. His right arm cocked back towards his spine as he adjusted his posture slightly, as to put himself at an oblique stance; his left arm took the helm as his eyes locked on to Tokiyo's own. She smiled and seemed impressed at just how quickly he managed to adopt the Gotetsu no Ichiban Kamae. His eyes had grown meticulously analytic thanks to his Ryugan. "Not bad, Tokkan-kun--you catch on quicker than most here." She smiled again before she let loose her stance and approached Ryuji. Her hands found themselves touching defined and flexing muscle as she helped condition his stance to her liking. He noticed that the kunoichi was blushing... did not she just say that he caught on quickly? Perhaps she just wanted to touch him. Unfazed by her advances, Ryuji found that her aid put him in a more comfortable stance, as he felt like he'd become so nimble as to dash at an opponent in the blink of an eye. He nodded to Tokiyo as she returned to her place opposite of he and the two began the stance once more.

This time, Ryuji led with his right arm, as he was ambidextrous, and placed his left arm at his back. Coolly, his legs slid apart to gain an open stance as he tested his weight on his knees by springing himself up and down. He made sure to keep his lower extremities fairly buoyant so he would be able to spring forth quickly in a moment's notice. His admirer only stared at him as she in turn nodded:

"Sasuga, Tokkan-kun!" She said, praising him with a thumbs up. It had appeared that he had aptly learned the First Stance of the Strong Iron. Impressed himself, Ryuji did begin to critique her petite frame in her rather tight, purple leotard... her blonde hair managed to bang in front of her visage for a brief second, allowing him to gaze about her physique.

Impressive...

Goutetsu no Kamae #2 (Strong Iron Stance #2)
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A more diverse stance used within the Goutetsu 轟鉄 (Strong Iron) style. This stance adds more flexibility for the users then the upright stance.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture A boxer stance. The user has their legs bent and arms raised up to cover the face. The Jabbing fist is slightly more forward then the strong fist. Elbows are in, shoulders are up, hands are cupped but not clenched. Fist is never clenched because it is best to clench the moment of contact. This creates a stronger force of hit. Knees are bent, body straight but lowered to protect the stomach area. The legs move as the user bobs and weaves never staying in place.

Tokiyo motioned for Ryuji to join her at the back of the dojo where the punching and speed bags where nestled in a corner. There were also several dummies that hung on posts like scarecrows so if one had wished to practice precision attacks on a human body, they could do so with this sort of training instrument. Ryuji stood arms folded as the kunoichi took a stance variant to the Ichiban Kamae and lightly bounced up and down, allowing her weight to spring into her upper body via knees. In an instant, the girl let loose a volley of vicious blows to the punching bag, which resulted in the thing spilling its contents onto the mat. Several other pupils looked on as granule poured from the wounded bag and grimaced at her strength--Ryuji could only stand there in total awe as she turned facing him, smiling. "Gotetsu no Niban Kamae~" she said, posing cutely and making the peace sign toward Ryuji. A bead of sweat dropped from his brow as he noted how tender natured the girl was to be so incredibly powerful. He had chosen wisely to stick around and learn the fundamentals of the Strong Iron from the girl.

Just who is she?.. he thought as he now motioned for her to repeat the stance. He would definitely be using her as his personal sparring partner for the benefit of admiring her body technique. She proved to be smart, quick and fierce - all components that he enjoyed in another human; but she could be annoying with her hints of flirtatiousness...

Again, Tokiyo shifted her stance. To Ryuji, it appeared that her feet remained the same as with the first stance, yet in lieu of placing a hand at the back, she brought them both in front of her in a boxeresque manner. The draconian teen squinted his eyes as to gain every detail of her stance: her body was lowered yet straight as she pulled her arms close into her body; her knees stayed bent and flexing in such a way as to make known her alacrity had she chosen to lash out in strike--for this is where she had been able to move quickly and thus channel energy throughout her body; and her hands, how they remained loosely clenched. When Tokiyo went to punch the air, he saw how she tightened her grasp on her fingers as volleys of spriteful fists hissed in the empty space. She was truly an impressive specimen. While he got ready to copy her stance, Tokiyo stood akimbo with her chest out toward Ryuji. "When you get ready to punch, Tokkan-kun, do so quickly and effortlessly... almost as if though you were going to reach out and fondle me!" She blushed as her lilac eyes locked in on his black ones. As impressive as she was, Tokiyo was also promiscuous; however, the other boys within the Gotetsu dojo could just look on in green envy, as she has never requested for any of them to practice Gouken in that sense.

The Second Stance of the Strong Iron seemed easy enough for Ryuji to duplicate. He loosened the tension in his legs and allowed them to spread as with the first stance; in doing so, he lifted his arms toward his chest and face, making sure to keep his left one at the ready for a par or strong punch while his right one stayed nimble for alacritous jabs. With his knees bent, he pushed energy through his body to animate himself in an up-down spring motion. He immediately took note of how natural it felt to be in this stance in comparison to the first. His shoulders bobbed in tandem with his knees, giving him an energetic feel and smooth tempo. Once he had got a feel for the stance, Ryuji let loose--at first--slow, controlled hands that were open towards Tokiyo rather than clenched into a fist. He tested the distance to make sure that he wouldn't actually fondle her before he began to quicken his pace and change from loose fist to clenched during the extension of his appendages. Noticing that he got the hang of it, Tokiyo began to whirl around the room in a broad circle, tempting Ryuji to keep up with her.

"Now dance with me, Tokkan-san~" she called out as her flowing blonde hair began to wrap around her being. Now pushing the Tatsu teenager to pursue her, Ryuji managed to maintain the rather simple stance as he bobbed and weaved around the obstacles that Tokiyo maneuvered around. He didn't even work up a sweat from such tactics - this had been nothing in comparison to fighting of burly men within the confines of Enrai. He enjoyed the atmosphere that the purple leotard girl immersed him in, even if it meant lowering his hostile parameters if but only several paces.

From afar, an envious onlooker could only watch as Tokiyo trained with the newcomer to the dojo. He slowly advanced toward the duo with his fists clenched...

[Nira]

ooc: Oh, her name is... I think... Mieu?

>_>

Haha, wow. Okay, sure, fondle practice.

Ah, is that possibly a boyfriend incoming? Dun dun dun!

out-of-character -- yeah, i think that's her name... i should probably finish watching that anime to get training tactics from apaaaa <<

and yeah, the haters are comin'

In a burst of speed, the approaching shinobi leapt at Ryuji:

"Dynamic Entry!!" he shouted as he extended his left leg toward the Tatsu-kin's head. Had he opted to remain silent, he probably would have been successful in his blind sided attack; fortunately, the boy voiced himself, which caused the lightning quick Ryuji to separate himself from his position by way of Shunshin no Jutsu. His eyes flickered hotly as the male landed. But before Ryuji could begin to create seals, Tokiyo held his hands in her own.

"Noburo-baka, what do you think you're doing?" she said, her voice far from the sweet tone it had been in when talking to Ryuji. The boy Noburo hmph'ed as he crossed his arms, "I was testing his speed--he's a village ninja like you and me, and I wanted to know if he was as fast as lightning. Seems like you managed to dodge my Dynamic Entry... Noroma." He stared at Ryuji just as angrily as the latter had at him. But was his tenacity just as strong? &nbsp;Words, however, rolled off of Ryuji's skin like water - it was action that decided the true mettle of a man and while it didn't seem appropriate for him to tear Noburo's head off in the Strong Iron Dojo, he turned to Tokiyo and spoke.

"I must get going now, I have something to attend to," he reached inside his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper that held his name and location on it and handed it to the kunoichi. "Find me if you can... we can train elsewhere when ever I am free." Ryuji returned his gaze to Noburo, "And I'll be seeing you later as well, Noburo: and hope that your back isn't turned like mine was." Thoughts of stabbing the boy's eyes out and charring his flesh with Katon spiraled through his head, but he kept his stoic composure. He bowed to Tokiyo before leaving the dojo.

"I don't like that guy.." Noburo said once Tatsu Ryuji left the vicinity. Tokiyo turned away from the boy and pouted, somewhat upset that he had interrupted their training time.

"Oh, you're just jealous." Her purple eyes scanned over the note she received from her crush before she stuffed it in her cleavage.
