The Immortal Night [T/P]

[Draven]

Godric would be at some sort of training dojo it would seem. Plenty of people to spar with plenty to train various techniques. His mental awareness wasn't as sharp as he wished it to be. People now a days were far more faster than they had been in the past. He would approach on of the indaviduals striking a training dummy with a wooden sword. He would ask politely "Care to have a spar. I will be your moving targets instead of this stationary prop." He would say calm and collected. Thus it was decided that a spar would commence in an area of this place and his training would once more progress.

Godric would turn around and put his back to his training partner. “Let us begin shall we” and with that the first strike would be swung. He had closed his eyes so that he could block out any outside influences as the strike flew through the air. Time felt like it slowed down as he would feel for that moment to dodge such an attack. Now the theory behind such a trick was to feel his surroundings, and type of indication that some one was going to attack was the key. First within this moment of time, or rather how he described it “The twighlight of battle” would be the sounds. The wind of the strike, or a strike from anywhere, where common amongst one another. This was is first tip of and his first step in this advanced form of training. He let his ears open wide as he tried to listen for such an audible que.

Godric slowed his heart and reduces his breathing pattern. This also help to quicken his reaction as he waited for the correct time to dodge this strike. He would listen for any indication that would suggest the correct time. Though this was but the first strike, he and his opponent had no clue as to what each others speed was at, the defender had the upper hand. Thus the sound of the footwork from his training partner could be heard, the swoosh of the strike easily deciphered. Godric would lean to the left and dodge the slant strike to his shoulder. It was a success but at a low volume. The strike had power behind it and should it have struck would surely leave a bruise on anyone.

Godric would say quickly “Very well rest and lets continue the pace” With that he stood straight waiting for his opponent to strike. Again the noise of the mans footwork could be heard but this was only in preperation for the stance. What he was worried about or rather focused on was the element of his senses, not only sound but other senses would accumulate to let him now of the incoming strike. But alas he had no que to give him such direction the strike would only be heard when it was too late. His head would be slammed with the wooden stick and he had been dazed. That was one point to his training partner. With a simple reset he would be ready for the next strike. His senses where all up and running at full starting with the sound.

Godric kept his ears open and his mind clear, the slow effect of time would soon come should his body feel that itch to move. That mental que that only came through practice and hard work. He knew that even a failure was a success. For now his body would be extra keen to his environment and in response to pain it would wish to react to such terrible stimuli. Thus was the technique improved upon, the failures and not the success. But again he had been struck and this time it was to the side. He winced in pain as he felt his side cramp up from such a blow. Though his body heals extremely quick and he would straighten op “Again!” he said as he reset himself. His body still feeling the effects as it was starting to waken from such a blow.

Godric waited and waited longer. His training partner was preparing himself for another blow. He closed his eyes and thought of nothing. He didn’t even want to thing or even image that a strike was about to hit. Because this sense should all come from his body reaction rather than his brain analysis. Thus the mind must be quieted before his body can do its job. He would wait and let nothing else pass his consciousness. The strike was unpredictable at this point, his training partner had honed into his movements. He would be at the liberty of the wooden blade of his opponent. He would listen, he would smell, he would feel the vibration of the air around him. All these he would passively listen to, though not consciously evaluate. His mind must be clear as he waited for another strike...

Godric had been slammed with another attack, more pain as the weight of the wood and force of the strick slammed into his shoulder. This pain would be a mental que to his body a subconscious training tool that he uses, no his body uses to adapt to any situation. The malleability of the body was extreme, his body was of the very same make. He feels that his muscles ache with such need for adaptation. The function of pain alone is testament to such methods. A creature would stay away from food should it cause them pains, they would stay away from the farmer with the hoe should they encounter such pain. This was the methedology he would use, but his mind must be clear, he must let his body take over, this must be reaction and not analysis. The inner working of his mind, the empathy must take over must draw upon the senses of the body to produce the reaction.

Godric kept his eyes closed as he felt his muscles twitch with anticipation. The next strike would come soon but he would not flints, he would not mentally power his body to move. No not until its screams out in agony not until it fully knows whats going to happen, not until he will be able to find that spot where time stops and his body forces him to move. This instinct that comes from the empathy of the mind, it tells the body to react without the analytical side muddling things up with its second guessing. Hell a leaf could fall, the brain takes over and the mind determines that it could be a strike, thus a false movement is produced. No to suppress the mind and let the subconscious take over was key to this technique. Bam, another strike to his side, and he felt the pain, that pain that would soon drive his subconscious to pay closer attention that pain that would be the driving force behind his movements, but now now, it wasn’t enough, he could endure quite a bit.

Godric felt his side throb with the pain it had just received but he would stead fast as he motioned with no muscle. He would wait this out force himself not to move, no matter how much his body wanted to no matter what. That was another side of the count, to prevent this movement he would ultimately force his body to force his mind to stop functioning just for a split second. The feeling he was going for is one akin to the feeling of one touching a hot rock or even a fire. The hand reacts without the mind even analyzing. The momentary feeling of pain that shockes the muscles into reaction. The mind can barely keep up with such a sense. Thus to build upon that the next time the hand is to be placed even near something warm the hand reacts the same way, no matter how much the mind wanted to get closer. Its the body screaming out, and another strike would hit him, he winched in pain...

Godric felt his body screaming at him, telling him to move from this spot, but he did not budge. It needed him to move it told him that it could not bear another strike, but he would ignore this. No he was forcing his body’s hand he would force it to move upon its on convictions, but only at the correct moment. Only the true moment when the attack was at the right spot for a perfect dodge. No he would wait this out. Then he felt it, his body twitched for just a second followed by another heavy smack to his back. That was the feeling he was trying to foster, that was the movement he wished for, that was the screaming feeling that his body must learn, not his mind. He would have to continue to stand here, taking the beating forcing his body to expand upon that twitch to reinforce it beyond its own limits.

It was very much like teaching an animal a trick. Though in this case Godric had to force his body to stand in one spot until it had learned its lesson. The reason why this was far more difficult than teaching an animal was because the body conflicts wit the mind. Well to put it more accuratly the analytical side of the brain override the empathy core oft the mind. Though in terms of information gathering and anticipation the instinct was far more versed on the ways of pain, thus he had to shut off his mind and let his body take over if every he would have a chance at avoiding this super fast attack. His eyes were sore with strain as he winched with every strike. The sound of wooden sword slamming into flesh could be heard within this tiny training facility. His body aching all over even with his superb regeneration rate. But to learn this trick is to endure until the body can’t take it anymore. Unfortunately this meant the mind was to be ignored.

No pain no gain was the addage that came to mind as another Thwap of the wooden blade smacked against Godric’s skin. The pain was the element his body needed to get motivated. He almost could feel the effects of this methodology taking effect now. He felt a slight twitch just before the strike hit. Now there was a danger in such assumtion though. Should he start thinking about it now and trying to predict when the strike would come, then his efforts would be thwarted. No he would let his body simply judge when the strike would come. He would let his body take from the massive storage space of his memory and the exquisite mechanics of his senses. His mind will have no say in whats to come, should that give false readings or second guessing.

Godric would continue with this ability to simply stand there. He was forcing himself, he will not move no matter what. Even if his body screamed for him to stop this training he would not. He would force his body to make that decision for him. Such a weak system the instincts are, for the mind can simply make a decision to ignore such notions. But pain was a good motivator and only when it reaches its peek will he move only when there is no possible means of ignoring the feeling, will he not move, only then will he feel he would move should the pain push his body, twitch his muscles, anticipate the strike and its varient. The prediction of the body was the only way he was to achieve the true effect of the weapon master. He stood still.

The pain hurt it screamed at Godric. He could feel every welt upon his body, his bones where strong so there was no chance of them breaking. If this was an actual fight though, his regeneration would pail to compare to the amount of damage he had taken. Though thankfully it was at a slower rate then the real deal and his body could catch up and perhaps that was working againts him thus he would say to his training partner. “Faster” the simple notion of the idea to strike faster must be a shock to his partner but at least the sentiment was followed through. Thwack, thwack thwack, three in a row and he winched at each strike. The pain would start to pile onto itself his body screaming his mind reeling in pain.

But to counter the wonders of Godric’s own body he kept up with this pain gain method, he would continue to receive the strikes like the training dummy that once took this abuse. He had to stand there, he must stand there, the order he would give would be nothing less. That’s what he had to focus on that is his soul being currently. Nothing would make him move from his spot, no force great enough that currently inflicts him, save for one. Should his body make the decision to force his muscles to move, should his body be the provider of the order, should that foster of the twitch expand into full on action, that is what is needed that is the standard his mind would set as he focused on the task at hand.

More strikes tens of strikes, Godric was solid as marble and self reconstructing, this would need to be overcame before his body truly felt pain. This would be what he needed to mentally overcome to force his body to act upon its own vallation. His body was the key, he was but a by standard within it. Trapping his mind within a prison of mental focus to shut down the deception of pain, to push past the moment of conscious movement. Though he would not ignore this pain, no he would harbor it loath it, he would in fact complain within his mind about how much it hurt. This way he could produce psychological means to intensify the pain. He would only move should his body react, though he would push for it need it logically push his mind to point that to move before the strike was the only way. Though he would consciously prevent himself from moving as more strikes landed his back.

The pain was crushing and it was starting to get at Godric. His regeneration was exceptional but it was limited. Though that was the point, his body needed to feel this pain, he needed to focus on it, he wanted his mind not to ignore it. The pain was to be the keystone to drive his body to move. There would be only one option though, at the right moment he was trying to force his body to make the decision. He could not consciously do it, otherwise there was no point to all this. Another few strikes to his body and he would feel the shivers of the pain black out his other thoughts. Fortunately he was meant to focus on the pain anyway. He felt his body react as muscles twitched and his nervous system was firing on all cylinders.

This was what Godric was going for this feeling this bodily reaction to such pain but there was only one way to train this, only one way to teach his body. He had to continue to take the hits until his body couldn’t take it anymore, until his body would move on its own. So the sound of wooden sword against flesh would continue to litter the room with its deafening noise. The implication that someone standing there simply enduring it a feat on its own. Onlookers perhaps would be horrified at such a sight, but he simply did not budge. His body was starting to react though, he felt his muscles starting to twitch, and it felt like they were starting to anticipate the strikes. It wasn’t yet focused, it was still scattered, as if they were tuning themselves to his senses, it their environment.

Godric stood there his back marked with the pain of the wooden weapon striking against him. He could heal wounds in the breath of a minute and a half so whatever damage had accumulated within that minute and a half would stack upon itself. But still was it enough to really push his body into motion...no “Faster” he would say to his training partner, instructing that the hits should continue. He needed more pain, even if his mind was screaming out, even if his body was begging him to move, he would dictate that more pain was needed. No it wasn’t enough for his body to simply beg for him to more, he would push his own being to move on its own. That was the only choice he would give it, the only issue was to stay focus and ignore such plight.

Godrice continued with his play at this endurance. He could feel his body course with electricity as another strike slammed against him, and then another and then his body broke. What happened was a result that he was looking for, finally his body thrust itself to the side, his body moved on its own his body made the decision. It couldn’t take it anymore. It was a clean move too. Though the strike was close to hitting him. This was his mark, this was the threshold of pain that needed to be achieved to prompt such action. Thus he would smile in pure success and satisfaction. But he did not stop the training, no his body had to be conditioned to do this with every strike. So he would instruct “Harder”

That would give Godric’s partner the que to give it all he had. To try to break his body. The first of such strikes slammed against him. It felt has if his bones would break, he was thankful for his regeneration. His body quaked with such a strike, his body screaming simply because it was painful. The strikes would be staggered out this time, because what was behind this radical change of training was that it was a simple pain response that he was going for. Teaching his body to want to anticipate the strike. The movement was already solidified and he would now teach it to continue such actions. Another strike would slam against his side and he would feel a rib crack. The pain so intense it would mind bending. He held up a hand behind him indicated he needed a minute or so. This so that the bone could heal so he could continue. It wasn’t the damage he was looking for but the pain...

This was exhausting Godric thought, the pain was destructive, though his body could endure thankfully. He lowered his hand and reset himself as his body had healed, “Continue” and with that he felt his muscles twitch followed by another heavy hit. Aaahhh he roared out in pain, the searing electrodes of his mind screaming out in every direction of his being, he fell to a knee as he let his body recover once again. “One and a half minute intervals please..” he requested from his partner. The words where strained through his cry of agony. Though he requested this because this was his pain threshold and serious damage could be incurred should it accumulate within this time frame. His body could only recouperate so fast.

Godric stood up again and he reset himself. Another woosh of the woodedn blade would sing through the air, he felt his muscles twitch, his mind telling him to move, but he did not. That was the incorrect way to do this, he must make it so that his body does it for him. His empathy must take control not his analytical. He must make it pure instinct and nothing his brain conciously said should be invovled. Though his body had a note of this, yet the instinct was not strong enough, the strike would hit and his shoulder would cave in relation to the pain inflicted. He felt the searing jolt of pain once again flood his mind, he felt his body take its knee. His muslces and body was on fire, his body quivering, a silent gasp from his lips.

Godric waited and stood up once again, only the memory of that pain stayed. His body healed and he was ready for another. But it did not come. His training partner was a quick study and understood what Godric was trying to do. An element of unpredictability was being given to the harsh strikes against him. Without notice and without any indication another strike would fall. This was a purely unpredictable strike, just when his mind was starting to believe that another was not to come. Though there was a spark of intuition from his body. The muscles would twitch, which was a sign that his body was starting to waken to such harsh damages. Though it still wasn’t enough the strike would land his back would ache, the flash of red through his eyes, and down to one knee once again.

Godric grit his teeth in pain as his back swelled with the pain of such a heavy strike. He was breathing heavy as he propped himself up from the floor. Both his knees was supporting him as he let his back heal, though the damage inflicted this time was intense. A small chuckle would escape his mouth as he had realized that his body was slowly learning its task, he was happy to know that he soon will be on the pinickle of prediction against such force. So he would wait and recover, he would let his body heal, he would slowly get up and straighten up. He was ready for another strike. But just before he was even mentally prepared another strike would be on its way. His mind needed catching up! Another strike that he could not anticipate, and another feeling.

Godric’s body had a flash of heat just moments before the strike was landed. It was a different reaction than he had felt. This precognative feeling was something he rarely felt and it was usually accompanied by his previous training of such a method. It was on the right track it simply needed to be developed. Though the strike would still land, even if his muscle had twitched. His body still not conditioned as it stood there in glassy stoic endurance. The strike took him to his knee, his elbow shattered. The blood would swell as his body started its fast recovery. Should anyone else try to train this method, should anyone without such regenerative properties, this kind of training would be impossible. But he could endure and heal from it, and thus the body shall learn its lesson... it always does, though the pain be intense without a doubt.

Godric stood up, his face felt warm, his body bruised and broke. But it did not last long he would recover quickly well far more quickly than any other. The mental pain leaving a permanent scar, the scar something he is banking on. That mental scar was something that would train his body, the thought of pain coming to his mind should be enough to move his body into action. Letting his body learn the ques to avoid strikes. This was the point and this was why he was standing up once again. He closed his eyes and cleared his thoughts, he didn’t want to even think about what is to come, should his mind influence such decisions. Though the pain was still fresh in his mind something he had to force away. The focus would only come to intensify the scar so the message was clear.

The only option his body had was to move on its own. Godric gave it no benifit from the mind, no analyzing any assumptions, no mental notions that another painful strike was coming. The activity of his body, the twitching of his muscles, the flesh turning hot indicated to his mind that another would come, but he would not let this budge him, he simply will have to take it. Thus he had to flush such thoughts from his mind and only let his body simply react. Though the reactions where starting to intensify with each use, his body starting to learn its lessons, the lumps he was recieving found their home within his memory, the muscle attaining another such memory. Muscle memory was a corner stone of this method and he simply continued.

Godrice stood his ground as his body screamed at him, but he did not move as another strike landed the back of his knee. He crumpled with pain as he feel on his side, though he forced his mind to live every ounce of that pain, to pick at the fresh wound, to intensify the feeling. A noise of pain rocketed the room as he held his shattered bone, his body couldn’t take it and he would only punish himself more with the reliving over and over of this pain, the scar the bruise of the mind was less capable of recovering than his body. This pain the key of his strength, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and his mind would be racked with that concept. A minute and a half would pass.

Godrics body recovered as it has done in the past, he would stand back up. He wondered what his training partner was thinking after seeing such abuse received over and over again. Though he would stand ready his back turned to his partner ready for another strike. That feeling was starting to spark up in his mind though it was a slow crawl as if it was sniffing out intent. The strike hadn’t been preformed yet or even started but the feeling was coming. Was this the true beginnings of this technique, was he feeling how the body was starting to sense its surroundings on its own, was he feeling the effects of that. His previous blows where but a memory but the thoughts would run through his mind without conscious decision. Perhaps his instincts where taking over and he was simply observing.

Godric stood there unaware of the punishment that he is about to receive. But his body did an odd thing. It moved on its own to the side the woosh of the wooden sword soared through the air, but alas it still struck him. He felt the pain but it was odd, he had attempted to avoid, the instinct kicked in, it just was at poor timing. The tune of this avoidance needed adjusting so he would focus on the pain so that his body would be punished. Another mental scar to teach his instincts to react at the proper time to control itself so that such a strike would miss rather than land. He would focus on this searing burning feeling his back once again beat and broke, for a minute and a half would last as his mind reeled with the pain in his mind.

Godric rested for that minute and a half. The pain being a motivator for his instincts to learn its lesson. This lesson this time around being the fact that the dodge was missed. Though it had been preformed so there was progress in that. Simply put he would rest and get right back up. He would close his eyes and let his body take over. Nothing would be able to barge itself within his clap trap of a mind, nothing unless his body would miss the strike. The feeling of that hot searing pain was an ever present reminder of what that meant. Though his body would be the one to suffer. The tingling sensation of his muscles would be felt, another strike was about to happen. Though this was a different feeling than before.

Godric felt the instincts kicking in like last time. He knew another movement was about to happen, the it all depended upon his body to do this. He felt there was something about to happen, though he forced his mind to keep still and not think about it. He didn’t want that element to muddle the decision of his body. Thus another strike would come. He felt his body twitching and the electricity it had produced was intense. It would attempt a dodge as a hot flash of light struck his body. It was too late. Before it was too early but now the strike hit and the body moved and almost convulsed forward. His body slammed against the ground and he roared out his pain. It was still not tuned to the correct frequency of pain and he had to rest.

Once again Godric focused on this pain. This was punishment to the body in its failure to properly dodge such an attack. His muscles will remember such harm and learn to avoid it, that was the only option he would give to it. That was why he would let the pain invade down to his very core, he would let his body shake with the shock of such a strike. He would let his body learn this fact slowly that there was only one cause to follow. Dodge, dive, duck, dip, and dodge. Should it not, it will feel this same pain, this same reaction, this same agony, and thus his body would slowly recover and the wounds heal. Bones repaired he would slowly get back to his standing position.

Godric was ready for another strike. The pain fresh, another slow momentary pause in the air. He would stay his course he will dodge he will train his body he will feel his surroundings. Thus he waited and another strike soon to follow. His body felt like it was on fire, and thousands of needles where pricking it all at once. He felt his body ready to jump out of his skin, and then it moved. The woosh of the blade skittering through the air as his body avoided the damage...Though just barely the strike landed, his foot would be hammered, bones broken the ankle twisted, excruciating pain he cried out in agony the heat of such a wound and impact felt fully. He went to the ground as he brought up his leg.

The minute and a half was long as the pain flooded Godric. He felt he would pass out from it. Though as all other pain it would heal and pass from his body. Hopefully this would be the last lesson it would learn. It was so close to dodging the strike, so close from avoiding the pain, so close to acting perfectly upon its own motivations. He would stand once again reset himself, get ready for perhaps more pain or perhaps the feeling of seccess, though he needed to clear his mind. Thus he would wait for the unpredictable attack. He let his body take over he would let it flare up with its sensation, he would let it feel for his opponent, feel for the environment, he let his instinct do what it does best. He let himself get lost in that feeling as it intensified. The tune of the strike perhaps adjusted enough to avoid. Thus his body would move...

Godric would improve upon the design of one of his techniques. The core of the technique was the invisibility and the illusion itself. The timing wouldn’t need any adjustments but with a little flair he will be able to elevate this technique. First he would plan out the changes he was willing to make. For starters to preform this with no need of handseals will be a dire need. The second part would be to improve upon the overall strength of the invisibility and the illusion double that would be produced. A final process that could be improved would be the time which was needed to create such a technique. All required efficiency with his chakra, then there was the redesign of the handseals. Slowly reducing the amount until he was confident enough to not need to use them at all. This would simple need practice.

So Godric’s first step would be to produce this technique over and over again. This way he could improve many of these facets at once. Then once he had peeked upon the efficiency he could make small tweaks to the chakra formula until he had the golden ratio. Thus he would practice first off by forming the first set of handseals he would let the effect take its course as the image was superimposed over his visage. At the same time his body would be invisible but the trick to make this work was the fact that it was seamless. He would turn invisible at the exact same moment that the illusion was created. He would of course inspect it to make sure it was up to part. And indeed it would move around as he did, only difference was that he was invisible to sight. Thus dispelled and started over.

Godric would go into a training method and start doing the technique and dispelling it. Each time he would take less pauses in between repetitions. This was a method body builders would use to weight train. This of course was his method to flex that chakra muscle. Though since he was pertaining to this specific technique there would be a plethora of other benefits as well. For starters the chakra needed would reduce as he continued, like a muscle de-constructing and then reconstructing so that it could left more weight. The next part of this was the muscle memory in this specific technique. It would make him quicker faster more efficient in almost every way. Though with this efficiency he would have to increase other aspect of the training. He would have to do this many times over to reach his goal.

Godric continued his repetition training of this technique. He wasn’t satisfied that he had achieved enough efficiency to work with the formula just yet. There was a certain point that he was aiming for so that he could inject more chakra to produce some of the benefits that he was looking for. But his training didn’t go without drawbacks. Much like strength training it was by far one of the most exhausting things one could do, but he was a training body builder in the sense of chakra usage. He pushed through that pain, pushed past his limits, he would continue to reach the very limits of his sanity. Beyond that of the onrush of fatigue and exhaustion he would push himself further and further completing more and more of these repetitions. He just would not quit until his body simply gives out, that was the core of such training and he will follow it to the letter.

Godric would eventually stop though. He could do no more, he needed to rest but even this was part of the method. He had reached his bodies limit and would wait. Thankfully he had a strong regeneration rate so his set would soon come as his body recovered. It was so strong that he could feel his cells reconstruct and reorder themselves to adapt to such strain. That was how things worked the body adapts and contours. Thats how his body was reacting now. Even resting was a form of this construction and training, even at this level he could feel his muscles and chakra system adapting to the work load. He didn’t have to do much in the sense of working with his own chakra system, not now, not with this style of training. Thus the next set was about to begin...

Godric would be rested enough, enough to produce another full set. This time he would test if he could go beyond that of what he had before. If he could then he was ready to fix some of the flaws with this technique. Thus he would be a flurry of handseals and chakra. This genjutsu that would cover his body a perfect copy double of his visage, this image that would perfectly slide over him in perfect timing just as his body went invisible from sight. This was the technique that he wished to more than just master, he would own this technique to such a degree that others shall marvel at his workings of it. Thus a simple dispel and workings of his hands and another repetition would be produces. Over and over again he would dispel and produce this technique. His hands would already be starting to throb as he felt the exhaustion peek its eyes at him. He would ignore this, ignore the pain as he went over and over again...

Godric was a flurry a whirlwind a steam engine of chakra handseals and illusionary effects. He simply continued onward to his limit. It would approach faster this time, this was a good sign. This meant that he had practiced enough so that his speed was becoming far reaching from once it was before. The exhaustion and pain was starting to cloud his mind as the edges of his consciousness was starting to scream at him. Though he did not stop, not for one second. No he continued this method as he continued his technique, and with each passing performance he would find that his body would scream out just a little bit more. No if someone where ot watch this they would find that Godric was mad with this technique. No ryhm or reason as to why he was doing this but he would just as any practitioner of taijutsu would practice a punch.

Godric was feeling the burn as they say in the weightlifting community. He felt the sweat on his brow as he powered through a few more repetitions. He felt his chakra system screaming at him as its capacity was coming to a head. He could see the light at the end of the tunnel as he would flash another set of handseals. Upon the umpteenth time of preforming this technique he found his limit reached but no he would not stop even if his mind told him to. He would complete just one more repetition, just one more handseal, push out just a bit more chakra, this was his mark and he was sure to pass it. Mind over chakra, mind over matter how ever you spell it that was his method and he was about to do the impossible and he felt the barrier broke as he completed it one last time. He felt exhausted it was time to rest his body needed recovery once again.

Godric rested and let his system readjust. He was certain he had increased his chakra efficiency considerably, he also felt he had preformed this set at a much quicker rate. Though he was still performing handseals and he needed to negate the need. Also the technique was still in its normal form, thus he would need to tweak with the formula. But as he rested he realized he would be able to use more chakra into the actual mold itself without expanding any extra overall chakra. It was a careful balancing game of efficiency and increasing the difficulty. Thus he would rest and ponder upon the way he could improve the core of the technique. To improve the believability of both the illusion and the invisibility. He rested as his body would adapt to such strain and workload.

Thus Godric would rest for quite a while as he felt his body memorizing the moves on a more instinctual level. Not just the moved but the mold itself. It was imprinting itself into his very being his very chakra system. The rest was just as important as the practice itself. And his understanding of it only increased its effectiveness ten fold. Thus he would sit down and let his hands fill with blood once again. They had numbed from the constant movement and now had that tingling sensation as if thousands of pins where being pricked upon them. He shook them just a bit to get rid of that feeling, but once again the term no pain no gain comes to mind as he let his body rest. The next phase of his training was about to commence and he needed his chakra to conduct his power improvement theory. The method but an example of experimentation and exploration.

Godric would go through the motions mentally. To produce the technique but not to mold the chakra. To construct it through simple imaginings, the actions the steps the chakra mold. He was looking where he could inject chakra looking for the blind spots of the technique. The technique itself working solely on visionary perceptions thus like an artist he would start adding detail to the illusion itself. This first facet would be to increase how lifelike and how close a resebilence it would look to his actual person. This would be where he would start to increase how believable it would be. This was one of the cornerstones of the technique. Slowly and surely he will increase the effectiveness this technique. Simple shading here and there more rendering to the textures more human like flaws that he possesed or perhaps even the unnatural ones.

Godric would be painting a mental image in his mind, his ability already at the level to do such simple mental projections without the expanditure of chakra. Though he will need to test this eventually to make sure his brushstrokes stack up to the real thing. But for now he would simply be adding this detail to make it a true masterpiece of genjutsu craft. This would be one of his shining eggs in his arsenal. People will know him for this sole technique a type of signature people can recognize him upon. But that takes time and diligence, more detail less mechanical flaws and more natural flaws. Even his unnatural features had their on natural flaws to them. The cracking of his marbled skin, the pigment, what little there was, added to such an effect to give variation.

No single point of this illusion will go without notice as Godric let his mind continue its paint over the pallette of this illusion. He would add in features that where missing he would let the hair flow more smoothly, he would increase the numbers of natural sounds that it would produce. All small details but soon would add up. What built his confidence up to produce such detail was his previous training. He had increased his chakra efficiency with the technique. This makes it possible for him to produce more details on the overall illusion. This was his way to increase the strength of the overall design, even if it was only half of it. But it was important which was a testament to how important attention to detail was. He would even put himself in front of a mirror so that he could judge what he needed to add.

Thus Godric produced the illusion, well about half of the technique itself. The illusion side the copy of his image this so that he could take a closer look at the illusion. In fact from here he could literally use his finger to smudge a spot or wipe more color in where more color was needed. Every detail of the illusion would be referred over to the mirror. He turned his head to see if he could see the side or profile of his head, or even body. He would take another mirror and place it side by side facing the other mirror, this way he could work on the back side of the illusion. Like a painter he would smudge away details that were unwanted, he would increase and bold others that were needed.

Godric was ablaze with chakra as he continued to paint into existence a perfect copy of himself. He would move on to sounds that it would produce. Since he didn’t want to give away his own position he would paint in sound triggers and ques, or even automated movement. It would all be tied to his movements but he would let the illusion take the brunt of the attention. That was the trickery to this technique and like the image itself needed the tender love and care. He would need to add in the detail so that it would accumulate onto a tapestry of believability. He would continue to add other things as well such as heat and some physical elements like footsteps. There was an almost unlimited amount of detail in any given catigory that he could add in, though the only limit be his imaginition, attention to detail, and chakra efficiency. Though he had increased all of those with his training and methodology...He would take a step back and see his works.

Godric was happy, he seen that his illusion was by far more rendered out than before. He would activate it to check the other functions as well. Sight was good but how was the sound. He would walk around and let the image mimic him, he would preform tasks and see how that would sound, even the sight of the thing would need to change with things like lighting. So a full range of activities had been preformed as he judged the make of the crafted illusion. He would be happy for sure. He knew the flaws but compared to how they were before, the flaws would almost be non existent, it would be closer to the real thing for sure. Thus he would dispel it and start to work on the invisibility. This would be done in very much the same way as he had done the illusion.

Details, everything came down to details. Godric would be tweaking this invisibility formula. He would be producing the handseals and applying it to his person. His form would vanish from sight, though it was still flawed. Small fluxuations of environment could still be seen, slivers in the form of the invisibility, he would know these because he had developed it. But now he had enough chakra efficiency to patch these up which could be a simple task. With chakra he would start to inject it into the form and mold of the shroud. With this chakra he can begin to path things up. This would be far easier than the need to fix up the illusion because the fix here would be the simple application of chakra and to mold into the shroud itself.

Godric did just that and pasted the chakra into these slivers and imperfections. He would turn his body and use the other mirror as reference. Though he needed to turn the back mirror so that the mirrors wouldn’t fully mirror his image back to each other. It made the fixing method ten times tougher. So he would adjust them as needed to fix specific flaws, so he could zero in on them and apply the chakra. Every square inch of his form was looked through as he applied the chakra. Small sliver like rips and holes in the design. It would be perfect in the end but still yet flawed, there was another facet that he needed to tackle. There was a wave to some of the form a distortion, this would be a flaw of the programming. So he would access the chakra orders.

Godric would fix some of the flaws within the design. Some of these flaws would indicate how the eye catches or how it tracks the eyes. Area’s of the shroud didn’t track correctly when a given perspective was sensed. Thus these small detailed fluxuations would be fixed as he adjusted the mechanics of this. Though this would take up chakra and he would use up what was left. The efficiency he had granted to the technique now used back up by the overall design. With some luck it was now a far stronger rendition of its previous incarnation. Next he would work the handseals by simply preforming them over and over. A bit thing he wanted to do was reduce them so that he needed not to do them to preform the technique.

Godric would go into a repetition of performing the handseals over and over again. He would start to merge some handseals together as he was a flurry of hand movements. He would start to predict was was next and subtly infuse the parts of that handseal into the first few. Soon he would be on a real tangent of reducing them slowly down to nothing. Yet he would need to practice this. He had found the formula to do this but still the chakra needed to be mold, needed to be practiced at the level at which he had been performing this. The speed frightening as it was but he needed to back it up with the stealth of the design. So over and over again he would mold the chakra as if he were producing the handseals. Then finally he was ready to test it out. A final molding process and he would see if he can will this technique into existence.

Godric would be in the park at night. He had found he was a Hyuuga before he had a rest. A trip to fire country had discovered a great many talents for him. He activated his Byakugan, and started his training by playing with the optical nerves within his eyes. A bit of chakra was already channeled to that area, he was simply seeing what limit this had. This took a bit of concentration. He already could see some chakra fields in his sight though he wished to try to get some detail upon this. He would take a look and see if he could expand upon this. The detail was a very useful tool for a night hunter and he was looking for prey or criminals. He was already on the hunt for one, there was a glimmer of something that he can see.

There was something on the ground that Godric had spotted. It was as if glowing some sort of stain of chakra perhaps. Most would instinctively say gross but he would think differently. The world wasn’t all glits and glamour so he would take a closer inspection. With the small bit of chakra that he had already channeled this detail was revieled to him, but it felt blurry and intense. His eyes needed to adjust to such a thing as, as with light and how it becomes unfocused, the light would be almost blinding as he looked upon that source. But he wouldn’t look away, he already knew how to adjust his eyes to light, it was a practice he would do when he enters buildings.

Godric would narrow his eyes though so that he could try and mitigate some of this brightness. The cones in his eyes had to adjust themselves and it was a rather slow process. A natural one but slow, they had to absorb enough of this light so that they would be come desensitized to it. And he would already see it as it would do just that. His eyes were readjusting and he could see it better and better. He would even open his eyes a bit more to take in more of this aura of light. As the light adjusted and focused he would notice that the small stain was but a glimmer of what it could be. Like a partial stain of something else or a simple drop of something. He figured he simply needed to increase the strength of it so he would start to open the pathway.

Godric channeled a bit more chakra to his Byakugan. He would squint his eyes once again as the stain glowed with chakra. The glimmer would blind him as the rays of light drowned out his sight. He covered his face and peeked through his fingers. The light would show through his hand as he would let the light through. Once again he was trying to adjust his eyes to this. The light was intense and his eyes would need to compensate. It was a wonder of the human body that such things happened though. Like say someone uses a flash bang and become blinded, the are not blind for the rest of their life. This is what he would use as he started to do a process of increasing his chakra and letting his eyes adjust. There was more to reveal from this stain than just simply chakra.

Godric would start to see more and more detail from this spot of chakra. He could see an outline and a kind of pattern to it. He would continue to increase the chakra and let his eyes simply adjust. It was an interesting way to reveal information but he was starting to get the feeling that this was a foot print. The implications suggested that he could see the residue of chakra from someone, and then he could start to see a trail of foot prints. He would follow them, they lead into some small grove. He had to stop every once in a while and increase the chakra needed. This also required more patience with his eyes as they would adjust to the intake of light. But he would continue to follow it to its source. Eventually he would see something bad, or perhaps good. It was a man mugging a couple, though what he called it is lunch...

Godric would be walking the park at night, looking for some pray. He would be expanding upon his ocular vision and with use of the Byakugan he would see the chakra of what he needed to see. What he seen was a glimmer of something in the distance. Perhaps if he focuses his chakra a bit more he can get an idea of what it is. Thus he would start to channel some of this vision upon this point upon this point in the distance. As a result he would see something but wasn’t quite sure if it was something of interest. The vision would be distorted and the ray of light that emmited from the point somewhat blinding. He needed to squint to see if he could adjust his eyes. Thus he would let his eyes take its nature care of itself.

Godric focused his chakra upon his eyes to see if he could increase his versatility with his Byakugan. He could see the light was still intense and he was wondering if it was because of this focused chakra. He was imagining the chakra as a lense over his eye, the Byakugan being the source of his simple chakra manipulation. But it was distorted, so he would work through it in his mind. Like a lens if there where but a small flaw it would create such a distortion. The ray of light the indication that such a theory could be true. So he would simply start to play around with this lens trying to find if he could smooth it out. Like a ocular kalidascope the focus would distort in different ways. Was he on to something, he thought to himself.

Godric continued on this mode of thought. He would tweak the lens of chakra upon his eyes, it was the milky part of the Byakugan that he would be manipulating. He found he could shift the density of the lens to certain parts of the iris itself. Though he felt there was definitely a balance that needed to be achieved. Should too much chakra be in any given spot, then a distortion of the image would become present. Thus he had a target he was looking at and could work from there on. He could see the ray of light shift every once in a while. He simply would continue his tweaking of the lens as to get it right. He imagined this is what kids do with magnifying glass as they burn ants in the noon day sun.

But enough of nostalgia as Godric focused on his training. In fact he needed all his focus to determine what kind of blurriness he was encountering as he shifted the chakra around the lens. He continued to do small fixes for the lens as he looked at his subject. The rays of light still seemed to simply shift around rather than dissipate. He didn’t want to stretch out the rays anymore than they where. It was difficult enough to try to focus with his optics to try and fix the overall issue he was having with this. But he would continue to work with this issue. Finding there was some give and take. The rays perhaps were an indication of possible success as they slowly shortened.

Godric continued to work with it. He seen that it was slightly clearing up, which was encouraging. Hopefully with a few more tweaks he could get it just right. What he was seeing was the image distorting in the way that the shape was unclear. Small beams of light where still streaming from it but that was clearing up a lot faster than the overall image. The shape distortion had him stumped a few times before he figured that the angle of the lens was slightly off. Though this took most of his concentration to work on and he would see this through. Slowly though he was starting to find sweet spots. He would not when he had just past the sweet spot and tried to compensate. This way he was slowly zeroing in upon the correct lens shape and angle which it needed to be at...

Godric needed more speed. He was extremely fast as it was but this time he would increase his natural speed. Doing simple tasks will do fine as he unsheathed his katana. He would start to slash with it as he used his muscles in a simple exercise to increase his speed. Practicing a type of regiment called a Kata or a patterned martial art routine. He was using his Santuryo knowledge though even if it was the lesser one sword style form. It would be enough to achieve his current goal. So he would take a stance and start to do the steps. It would be simple at first, but he would do it to the best of his ability. As fast as he could swing the sword he would strike the air. A few steps of his feet for positioning and he would have a simple routine. He would do this over and over a few times before expanding upon this.

Godric would start to add steps to this Kata. A side slash followed by a vertical one. He would take a few steps to the side then slash to the side. He would then take a half step back and thrust forward with a step. Followed by a twist of his body another half step back and a slash to his side as he held the sword horizontal. Once again he would start to repeat this routine over and over again. From this point he was simply seeing how fast he could do this. With the routine memorized he could increase his ability to do this kata. It was sill a simple one but the means at which he was doing it would soon exhaust him. But that was the point of this Kata, to exand his ability to preform such actions within the breath of a moment. Thus he would continue his actions over and over. His muscles would start to strain.

Godrics focus had to stay the course, his mind upon the task his ability with his blade still sharp, his body in tuned with the sword. He would preform the Kata to the best of his ability, the strain of the sword already starting to be noticed. He kept track of the steps in his mind as he counted out how long it took him. Now would be the time he would go over it. Practice makes perfect and he would push his limits. Already he could feel the strain on his muscles as he tried to preform it within a given amount of time. There would be only one way to truly increase his speed. Even if he could increase this katas speed, it didn’t mean he increased his overall speed. Thus he had to memorize it first before he could attempt to increase the speed.

Though doing it this way did not come without its benefits. Godric would still feel this strain, still feel his movements, still push the limits at which he could preform any tasks given any nature. Thus another sword strike, the woosh of the blade in the wind as the air sliced in twain. He took a step to the side and twisted his torso, a slant strike leaving his arm out wide to the side. He drew the blade back into its sheath as he prepared a quick draw. His head bent lower and stance deepened. Gripping the handle of the blade with one hand and the sheath with the other. The next step in this kata was a flurry of strikes that he needed to review in his mind beforehand. Thus the sword would flash and the strikes made, ending with the sword within its sheath once again.

Twas but another step within the annals of the kata. Godric would reset just as fast as he had finished the routine. Feet shoulder width apart, the blade in its sheath, his mind reviewing the movements. He would begin in a flurry of twisting, slashing, reseting the blade, turning his body, and even a flip in the air as he leaped for a jumping strike. The kata would be a sort of dance he was performing, the onlooker only be the moon in the sky. He would feel his muscles strain against such a dance, his body slowly exhausting its reserves, but that was the point. To push past this limited resource, to increase the amount of exhaustion he could pile upon himself. If he could do the kata a few times within the breath of a few second he would be able to achieve his goal.

Godric continued his advancement of his ability. His speed was honed but he would push that boundary. He could feel his body starting to become fluid in his actions, this was an indication that he had memorized the kata. Another step to the left with a slant slash to where the sword was at his side. One step forward bringing the blade quickly up and leaning into the strike. Each movement was quick, flawless, fluid and fast. He would be exhausting himself soon enough. The point at which his body will truly take the this training. He created a few more strikes with his katana as a bead of sweat dropped to the ground.

There would be no thought in Godrics mind as he continued to preform his kata. He sliced through the air like a wind walker floating in the sky, he felt every breeze and every motion of his surrounding as he had done so. It wasn’t exactly keeping his mind clear but letting it wander as he took in his surroundings. This was so that the fluidity of his motions could sing within the space of his performance. His steps quick and a shift of weight here and there would dictate the elegant level at which he was conducting the kata itself. He could feel the weight of the katana and was intimately charmed by its balance. This balance he would use in his favor as his speed increased.

But this would be a false increase, Godric knew that the only true form of speed would be from his natural ability, thus he would push himself. Faster and faster beyond that of which efficiency can take him by simply learning the kata. No even if he uses these small tricks they would soon evaporate leaving only his ability to rely on. This was the strain he would push his body toward as he makes another quick strike of the air as if it was some enemy attacker dancing along with him in the art of combat. Another slash down and then quickly up and his muscle would strain against the balance of the blade. It would be the ease of motion that would soon catch up to him. But his focus would now be drawn upon the keeping the motions fluid.

Godric could feel his body slowly melt down into exhaustion, or rather he could feel the edges of oblivion. He felt his body straining and slowly start to waver in its motions. The fluidity slightly lost as he completed a few more steps and strikes. This was a good thing, he would focus deeply upon keeping the movements as fluid as they had been, which in turn increase the difficulty of the task. But the point was to increase this difficulty, in a way to pile on the challenge until it pushed him to his limit. The simple act of wearing himself out was a task all its own. As he devoted his focus to making up for his own mistakes to produce a perfect display of slicing and movements.

Godric would feel his body starting to waver in its attempt to perform the next cut. He had overreached with the cut and the compensation before the katana hit the ground took its own toll. He was happy to see his body wasn’t invincible, because that meant he could continue with the forethought that he could improve this into perfection. Thus he would take but a moment to correct himself as he continued this evasive maneuver. It wont take much to simply hack at the air, unless you have been hacking at the air in a very specific way. Not to mention the repetition involve was in itself adding to this challenge. This personal challenge would extend so his foot placement as well, if he had missed a step or was off, he would need to correct himself. Now it had captured his mind to focus on these small details, which meant he was reaching his limit.
