The almost deafening yet constant sound of water pouring from the mouth of a cliff into the pool of water at the bottom. Surrounding the body of water is a grassy patch of land before it stretches out into the forests surrounding the area where Takigakure can be seen just from the outskirts of the trees. Standing in the midst of water is two humanoids, one middle aged man and one boy. The man happens to be the boy's mentor on teaching the kid Goutetsu, whose name happens to be Kenshi. The boy on the other hand is named Varis, and today Kenshi decided to step outside of the dojo to change the scenery. Kenshi also wanted to train Varis a useful technique.

Originally, Kenshi was having Varis practice the technique first. But as Varis had leapt forward towards nothing in general while performing a spinning high kick that winds up doing a 450 degree spin while his momentum carried him a good five feet before he lands on the water and skids about a foot or two before coming to a stop. Varis lets out a sigh before turning his attention on Kenshi's direction with the same calm and almost expressionless look on his face. "Sensei, don't you think that this kind of technique would be better against a real opponent? I know that you told me to imagine an opponent before me, but there's only so much imagination can do." Kenshi didn't respond right away as he stroked his scruffy beard while pondering on it. While yes Varis had a point that its easier to learn their mistakes by fighting an opponent, but the only problem is that Kenshi doesn't really know anyone around here that's willing to spar with his student. He could do it himself, but Kenshi was the mentor and the way Kenshi is he is too advanced both in power and experience for Varis to learn anything from him just yet.

"You still have that those gauntlets and greaves on you don't you?" Kenshi asked, and Varis doesn't waste a second to respond with a nod in agreement. "Hm... Well go get them on right quick and come back here." Though Kenshi hasn't explained what he had planned at first as usual, Varis nods his head as he walks on the water towards the side of the water. Where laying there on the grass is actually two small bags; which Varis goes to open one of the bags that was somewhat belonging to him though it was owned by Kenshi. Varis just brought it because Kenshi told him to. Inside of the bag is actually a set of gauntlets and greaves. It only took a few minutes for him to put them on his hands and feet before he comes back over to Kenshi looking almost like a young fighter of sorts.

"Now then, try performing the same technique with those weapons on you. It shouldn't be much of a difference than when you didn't wore them, but the weight however can change some things around. Though your performance was a bit sloppy to begin with so you still have some work to do." Kenshi spoke to Varis even though he honestly wished that there was someone around here that could spar with Varis since the kid seems to have a knack on picking up techniques just by watching. But since at the moment there wasn't any around, Varis would just have to deal with this kind of training for now. Varis of course sighs before he goes to leap forward towards the middle area of the water where he performs a spinning high kick in the air with both legs. However Kenshi's point was right on as the weight took in effect that made his legs dip down a little and gave Varis little time to land. Though it wasn't much for landing since he landed on one foot yet falls into the water. So Varis had to climb back up to the water surface to where he is standing on the water again only this time he was definitely drenched in water. Kenshi of course was laughing at Varis's failure to execute the technique before his mentor cleared his throat. "Alright, try that again and this time take your equipment's weight into consideration." Varis wipes his brow with his hand to get the water away from his eyes. Then he goes to leap forward once again to perform a spinning kick with both legs. Only this time he was more aware of the weight his equipment was giving him, and thus he was able to land on his feet somewhat while stumbling a bit before Kenshi barked at him in a commanding tone. "Sloppy! Try that again before I throw you in the waterfall to wake your sorry rear up!"

20/80 - Learning B rank

Wandering about in a white Kimono laced with a floral pattern Michiko was pondering her issues with the ink binding technique. She was having trouble with binding stronger opponents as when she bound them with her jutsu they had broken out without much effort. She wanted to make these things harder to do and she had, with a variety of clones, though of ways to remedy this issue. Thinking back to when she was training she had found that widening the jutsu seemed to make the problem even bigger. She recalled her ink creation breaking from their bindings as if they were merely paper. This distressed her to no end as she didn't want her captives breaking free and attacking her. She tried to remedy this in two ways, the first was to make the bindings smaller to increase their strength and so as she formed her hand signs and pushed her chakra into the ink around he she ensured that the bindings were small enough that they were only capable of binding the wrists and ankles and only the wrists and ankles.

This was to attempt to make the jutsu stronger but it effected the surface area of the jutsu which had its own problems. She remembered watching the bindings take hold around the wrists and ankles of one of her ink creations and found that they were still quite easily able to break out of them by using brute strength as they were able to fling their arms around easily. This brought her back to the girl needing to strengthen the jutsu in its larger form but the only way she knew to do that was to use more chakra and pretty much hope that it helped. To this end she formed hand signs and built up her chakra meticulously, slowly but surely pouring more of her chakra into the jutsu before infusing it within the ink of her jutsu, creating a thicker ink to utilise. As she watched the jutsu fly from its container and toward the target she bore witness to it connecting to the ink creations hands and feet before spreading further up the limb. This attempt managed to snag the shins and forearm of the ink creations creating a thick binding that would restrict movement.

As she continued to watch she found that the ink creation, while finding it more difficult was still able to break the binds however one thing helped her out a litt and gave her some hope. The knowledge that it was still harder to break out of. This menat she was on the right track so while it was rather easy to break from it, it was still getting stronger. She again formed hand signs and built up her chakra to a high level within herself. Each hand sign focused her chakra and she had it sail out from her body and into the ink of her jutsu. It melded with the ink and managed to turn it into a thick substance that sprang up and attached itself to the limbs of the ink humanoid. The ink humanoid figure found itself restricted yet again though the result wasn't as pleasing as she had once hoped and as she bore witness to the jutsu yet again, the ink creation managed to break the bindings with relative ease still and she was forced to watch another failed attempt of her jutsu.

It seemed as though she had to continue to watch this happen for a while longer though she was confident that it would soon be over and she would have perfected the jutsu, she was just taking a stroll to ease her mind. She had with her a paint brush, her yatake set, a painting scroll, and large vial of ink which she carried with her in her butt bag. She was following the sound of crashing water now, and she caught ear of it in the distance. Arriving at the source she caught sight of two figures sparring within the water and she approached them. It appeared to her as though a man was teaching a boy, much younger than herself, how to fight. What a brilliant display of youthfulness! She felt inspired and she immediately brought out her brush and began to draw upon it. She drew the image of a man and a young boy, taking the faces of the two males before her and etching them into paper.

Varis leaped at Kenshi's direction which closed the ten foot gap within 0.83 seconds before Varis went to perform the spinning kick with his gauntlets and greaves equipped on him. While yes Varis's form is actually almost perfectly accurate since today is actually been the only day he's been practicing this technique. However what Varis has in technique he seems to still lack the strength to carry the technique through. This is proven by Kenshi quickly raising one of his arms just 4 inches from his face where Varis's foot smacks dead onto the wrist area of his mentor's hand. However as one might expect Kenshi's hand didn't even budge as Varis followed up on that with his second leg coming at Kenshi's chest with the momentum building up from the leap Varis had performed. While Kenshi purposely took the hit yet still doesn't move more than two inches, it was slightly clear that Varis's second leg to the chest made an impact. For the unexpected part on Varis's technique is that Varis didn't aim for his chest in a vague way. Varis had struck Kenshi's solar plexus that would've sent Kenshi into a temporary paralysis state had he not prepared himself for the blow. That and Varis also still lacked the proper strength too so that don't help much. But it pleases Kenshi that his student is taking the initiative into learning.

Kenshi merely heaves Varis away by pushing forward with his wrist that he used to block one of Varis's attacks with. This sent Varis flying a good five feet before he lands on his feet that skids another two feet to a halt. Kenshi of course was grinning at his student while Varis on the other hand was very calm yet clearly focused onto Kenshi. "Try again kid; make sure that you put more strength in your legs when you kick off so that you can build more momentum into your attacks." It seemed that Kenshi didn't have to tell Varis twice since Varis had already leaped in more of a powerful form towards Kenshi while performing the spinning kick. Kenshi merely took a step back before Varis's leg barely misses his mentor's head with the second leg following up on that. However Kenshi leaned a 25 degree angle backwards as the second leg goes just over his chest. Though Kenshi originally was going to retaliate on his student, his plans got thwarted when Varis proved that he wasn't done as he still carries his momentum of spinning with his balled up fist coming right for Kenshi's face. If Kenshi was any slower that attack would've landed, but of course Kenshi was able to quickly raise his left hand to catch the fist without much trouble. However this proved to be a feint as Varis's right leg was following up on that which the fist drew Kenshi's attention since it came at him first. This time Kenshi didn't have much time to react other than tilt his head to the right side to go along with the motion to reduce both the impact and the force. Varis's foot smacks home onto the side of his mentor's head which caused his mentor to stumble backwards a bit mostly from the knockback effect. Kenshi only rubbed the spot on his face where Varis had struck at and was actually grinning still. "Still need to do something with that strength, but overall that was good. Try it again." Varis had landed on both feet after he had done his 720 degree spin that he used to struck Kenshi. Though his feet was a bit wobbly on the landing part, he still did good or at least that's how he feels like he did.

This time however, Kenshi gets into a fighting stance with one arm tucked behind him and his right arm extended out. His knees slightly bent, enabling Kenshi to perform quick punches and kicks along with other techniques if need be. Which means that Kenshi was more or less taking this more seriously since his student had just demonstrated that he was more than capable of adding more attacks to the techniques shown to him. Varis on the other hand didn't waste no time for the 0.53 seconds his foot touched the ground he already leaped over towards Kenshi within 0.49 seconds due to the very short distance they were from each other and the fact that Varis still leaped in a powerful form. Instead of backing up from his student, Kenshi decides to actually throw a punch at Varis's chest which would be aiming for his student's chest. However Varis hadn't initiated the spin yet so his eyes was able to pick up the incoming punch. So he had to improvise by using his momentum to his advantage by simply quickly swings his right hand in the form of a half closed palm while in the beginnings of a front flip. Varis's actually smacks on Kenshi's wrist, though Varis wasn't doing it to deflect the blow for he knew first hand that Kenshi is much stronger than he is. With his front flip in effect the smack on the wrist actually helped Varis evade the punch for it sent him up for a mere 8 inches or so. Which was enough for Varis as he technically does an improvised version of a spinning kick to where both of his legs in succession comes down hard on top of Kenshi's head. Though Kenshi saw this as Varis was executing the improvised technique so he was actually able to raise his free hand from behind him to be held directly above his head which was roughly 5 inches from his forehead. However what Kenshi didn't expect is that the first leg which was the left leg came upon Kenshi's left forearm and while it didn't hurt the man the force still brought his arm down roughly 3 inches which provided enough room for the following right leg of Varis's to actually smack dead onto Kenshi's forehead. Kenshi bared his teeth at his student while he quickly raised his right arm to grab Varis by the scruff of his neck, though Varis used the force he delivered to Kenshi's head to try to leap backwards Kenshi's left hand had actually grabbed Varis's left ankle to prevent him from going anywhere. Kenshi literally lifts Varis up with just one hand on the neck effortlessly as he glares almost angrily at his student. Then just like that he grins once again at his student. "Tell me, do you purposely refuse what i tell you to do or are you trying to impress me more by the day?" Varis whom at first showed signs of fear now went back to casual as he simply shrugged his shoulders. "You were the one who decided to try to punch me as i was coming at you, and i knew i couldn't deflect it since i'm not as strong as you are just yet. So my best course of action was to evade while at the same time still complete what i was trying to do." Kenshi barked into laughter before he tosses his student like a rag doll at seven feet away from him. Varis would've landed on his back, but Varis was able to recover by flipping his body backwards to where he would land on his feet in a crouching position. "So i did, and there's going to be times when someone is going to try to counter your attacks. Though the last thing i need is a bloody headache that's for sure."

For once Varis shows a hint of a smile on his face before it went back into the calm expressionless face that he had on just about the entire time he's been here. Though it seemed like Varis's kick to the forehead did nothing that time, if Kenshi was anyone on Varis's level then that individual might've been in trouble. Still with a hand beckoning Varis to come at Kenshi, Varis quite literally launched himself in a powerful leap towards Kenshi which resulted in him performing a spin to his advance. With his right leg coming at Kenshi and his left leg following right behind it yet aiming a little lower. Kenshi quickly ducked while simultaneously driving a serious punch up to strike Varis's thigh which sends his student flying backwards for six feet despite the momentum he built up. Varis gasped from the sudden blow as he crashes into the body of water and submerges under it. However the student didn't resurface, and after almost a minute had passed Kenshi was beginning to worry that Varis might be drowning by now. Just when Kenshi was about to submerge himself in the water, Varis used chakra under his feet while under water to kick himself up in a powerful leap where he breaks through the surface directly behind Kenshi. See Varis happened to be recovering from the attack Kenshi dealt to him, but at the same time he was relocating himself so that he could get the jump on Kenshi. Just like now, Varis has already executed the spin and right as Kenshi halfway completed on spinning around both of Varis's legs smacks home both on Kenshi's head and directly on Kenshi's chest. Kenshi himself gasped slightly as he was skidding back by force for ten feet on the water. With Varis happening to land almost perfectly graceful on his feet in a crouching position with his odd colored of amethyst and sapphire eyes focused on Kenshi's face in particular as Kenshi brushed the side of his cheek where Varis had struck him at. "Guess i should've seen that coming, and what's new is that you're starting to get the hang of it in strength wise."

It appeared as though for this point at least, Michiko had not been noticed by the youth or his teacher at all. This wasn't either here nor there, she didn't mind. She merely continued to paint the image of both the boy and his mater on her paper before finishing and looking over her work. It was almost perfect if she did say so herself, such youthful expression, such intensity. She couldn't help but form a short string of hand signs and bring them to life. They burst from the paper and took form in the image of black and white colours. They were perfect renditions, despite the lack of colour. They looked just like the originals other than that. She moved her hands and decided that these two would be perfect for her practice and so she began to draw chains upon her scroll, while she was still currently unnoticed by the duo by the water.

The chains were long and interlinked with one another. The links in the chain were thick and stocky, if she could get the consistency of the ink hard enough she would be able to create bindings that were strong enough to hold even the mightiest of opponents. She began to build up her chakra within her after painting her strong chains and focused intently. She focused it all within her stomach, the birthplace of energy, and felt it build in strength within her. She began to feel energised as the chakra empowered her body and so she began to form hand signs. The hand signs focused her chakra and she felt it become more refined. Completing the last hand signs she let the chakra flow from her body and into the image of chains. Her chakra mixed with the ink and began to thicken it. As the chains sprang from her page and bounded toward the ink comprised image of the older man she was quick to draw more chains and to repeat the same thing over again.

Her target this time however was not the image of the ink old man but instead the image of the younger boy. Her chakra laced the ink once again after she built it all within her body and released it into the page. A second time the ink chain launched themselves from the page and headed toward ink child. Like the chains previous, these chains attached themselves to the hands, wrists, forearms, feet, ankles, and shins of the child, the first set heading toward the ink creation of the older man however. They chains began to compress themselves and tightly bind the two in an attempt at preventing any movement and confident in this attempt Michiko watched as they tried to break the bindings and regain their freedom. She watched the arms of the ink man and boy strain under the pressure of the ink bindings however again as if it were easy the two broke the bindings and the chains were quickly torn asunder.

She couldn't believe it, was she still so far away from this jutsu? She knew that it was capable of more strength than this and yet she couldn't get closer no matter what she tried. Perhaps however the ink creations were merely just to powerful. They weren't quite durable however in terms of strength they had a lot. She decided to test them out and had the young boy, the real young boy, in her sights. Perhaps she could test these clones out on him. From what she was capable of seeing he was rather strong. She commanded her ink clones to engage the two men and they were quick to bolt toward them with the intent to hurt.

(OOC: Yo Varis, feel free to take control of my ink creations for your training. Move them how you like so you can train better. You said you needed sparring opponents in your first post, here's a couple. Remember though they disperse into ink again after taking a strong hit.)

It was at this point that Kenshi got the feeling that they weren't alone in this area anymore, and his attention went to the grassy shore that surrounds them. His jet black eyes stops at seeing a female wearing an kimono, and to top it off there's even two figures that looks black yet detailed to where he could've sworn they look exactly like Kenshi himself and even Varis. At first Kenshi was a bit bewildered, and it drew Varis's attention over to that direction as well and noticed the same thing. Though Varis doesn't seem as bewildered as Kenshi, in fact Varis just might part his lips like he was going to speak but then he shook his head slightly and returned his attention to his mentor. However Kenshi was getting over the sense of bewilderment and actually has an idea forming in his head. "Come on, I'm pretty sure that she appreciates that you don't gawk at her." Varis spoke at his mentor who just rolled his eyes before turning his attention to Varis. "What? And here I was thinking on about teaching you another technique since you seem to have gotten that technique down pack."

This made Varis a bit uncertain for he was sure that he still need some refining on learning his technique. But apparently according to Kenshi Varis already has it covered. Speaking of which, Kenshi beckons Varis to come at him with his hand. Varis was a bit uncertain about this for he knows for sure that Kenshi had some plot behind the gesture, but even so Varis charges at Kenshi by closing the gap in 0.75 seconds and had leapt the rest of the five foot gap that closes the rest of the gap in just 0.50 seconds. Varis goes to attempt to drive his fist straight for Kenshi's chest. However Kenshi thwarted this as he simply flipped above Varis's attack as Varis's eyes grew wide from temporary surprise before he looked up at the sky where Kenshi had flipped above at. Only to be kissed by a powerful blow to the head as Kenshi used the driving force of his kick to simply throw Varis back into the water and actually crash into the bottom of the water as there was a small hole in the water that took about a second to fill back up.

Afterwards Kenshi would make his way over to the one using ink ninjutsu for he has an idea in mind though it would be rude to simply make them do something they don't want to do. "Excuse me, I can't but notice that you can make... erm... I have no idea what they're called. but these guys." Kenshi motions his hand over to the two ink creations for Kenshi honestly doesn't know what they are called. "Do you mind if I borrow one or two of them? I'm trying to teach my student here something when he recovers from that blow." As if on cue though, it seemed that Varis has indeed already recovered and to top it off he bursts from the water with a leap as he was coming directly for Kenshi. But that was when he noticed that Kenshi was talking to the one doing the painting and he tries to stop himself. How can he stop in mid air though? Well that's the part that Varis can't control at the moment, luckily though Kenshi merely raised his hand where Varis smacks his chest against that made the young boy gasp from the force before he flops down on the ground holding onto his chest with his hands.

(OOC: Alright :3 Though I also like to rp the characters and plus I think it would be a bit rude for Kenshi to suddenly destroy the ink creations like that XD)

Finally she was noticed, how pleasant. She didn't like not being noticed so Michiko was happy. When asked if she could help however Michiko was of course more than gracious for the opportunity and she began to move her wrist with her brush in hand. Her hands began to move with quick succession and she darted upon her scroll the image of ten individual humanoid figures. She then placed her brush in her mouth and began to form a short series of hand signs, bringing forth the creations from their two dimensional form on the page to a third dimensional form. The figures had no real notable identity from one another, unlike the first two she created, and stood at a height of six feet. The group would move in toward the two men and attack, while he had asked Michiko was sure that the man didn't expect a dozen attackers to roll up on him like this. He doubted that he even believed she was capable of such a feat. As the men and her art work played together she watched on as she dabbled with her own jutsu yet again.

Now she had a very good idea on just how to better utilise this jutsu and she decided to put that plan into action. She created first two more humanoid ink creations to test out her jutsu on and then got to work. Her method this instance was to create large sheets of ink material to attack the humanoids limbs and restrain them. She built her chakra within herself and began to concentrate. She then formed the hand signs and allowed her chakra to flow into her ink and begin to meld with it. She tried her best to make it a thick and sticky substance so that when she shot it out it was more durable than she had previously been able to make it. Thinking that she was ready she had it shoot out of the vial and launched it toward the humanoids. The jutsu constricted their limbs, the arms and legs, and she watched to see what would happen. The humanoid ink creations began to struggle at her command and as if it were a bad joke at this point they broke free from their bindings like they were nothing.

Again? She felt so disappointed in herself but she couldn't give up now. She wanted this jutsu. Looking at her vial she noticed it was getting rather empty so she began to fill it up with her, erm, bodily fluids. Spit. She then decided that the next way to go about things was to actually simplify her thinking.She had been trying to capture two people at once to this point but she thought to herself that one should crawl before walking. With this in mind she focused her efforts onto a single humanoid ink creation and began to build up her chakra gain. She built up as much as she could at this point, she wasn't going to worry about over-stressing herself and she began to form hand signs. The hand signs focused the chakra she was building and made it stronger. Finishing up the string she began to let the chakra out of her body and she focused it into her ink yet again. With this attempt, she was was hopeful that things would go to plan for once. She infused her chakra and ink, melding them together creating a thick substance.

Letting the chakra go completely she watched as the jutsu shot itself toward one of the humanoid ink creations and bound its arms and legs. She continued to watch it as it began to struggle in its bind and after a while she realised. It was having extreme difficulty in breaking them. Did she actually do it? She didn't believe it. She didn't let this simply be the end of it and she formed more hand signs and quickly built up her chakra gain and focused it in the ink. She fused the ink and chakra together creating that same thick substance she had before and shot it toward her ink creation, the one that was free. She watched on as the newly trapped ink creation began to struggle in its binds, the two of them now trashing about. They continued to do this for a few moments now as she continued to watch them with a smile on ehr face. This jutsu, she was getting so much closer now. Just a little bit more and she'd be able to say she'd mastered it.

Happy with her efforts so far she turned back to the two boys to check up on their progress. She was wondering just how they were contending with her ink jutsu...

"What the...!" Kenshi started to say as he quickly hurled a fist at one of the ink creation's face with enough force that it would be considered to be a strong hit so that creation winds up dispersing. Meanwhile Varis who was also being attacked by two creations they came up to the boy and tried to swipe their arms at him. However Varis purposely makes himself fall backwards with his hands above his head while kicking off with his feet within 0.75 seconds as one of the creations' limbs grazed Varis's stomach. Varis in essence performed a backflip into a handstand that only lasted for 0.90 seconds before he pushes himself upward with half of a flipping motion so that he could land on his feet in a crouching position. Once the duo started coming at Varis in a charging motion, Varis stand up on his feet while getting into his fighting stance with his left arm tucked behind his back and his right arm extended which allows him for quick attacks with his hands and feet. Varis waits for the creations to be near him as they go to throw a close ranged attack against the kid, whom would react by quickly jumping over the attacks following up with a flipping axe kick to one of the two creation's head which results in a strong hit. Though Varis imitated what Kenshi did to him back at the lake, Varis's kick wasn't quite as strong as Kenshi had displayed before.

Once that creation gets knocked out, Kenshi took the time to look over at his student and realized that this is pretty much what Kenshi wanted in the first place. Except the one in training is Varis and not himself. So Kenshi seemingly disappears leaving an afterimage that lasts for a brief moment that disperses once a creation goes to strike against the image. Out in the middle of the lake is the kid's mentor who's now sitting down while taking out a pipe with a lit match and starts puffing some smoke from his nostrils. Meanwhile Varis is now having to deal with roughly ten of these creations. While Varis might be good in learning, he's still just a Genin and also a Novice to top it off. Not to mention that Varis's physical strength is still not that great either, so least to say is that Varis might not be able to pull this training off without taking much damage.

Varis gets smack right on the left side with a limb from the creation that was next to Varis, though the boy actually grabs the ink's limb with his hand while kicking his left leg onto the back of the creation's right leg. Simultaneously Varis smacks an open palm to the creation's center or rather the chest area. This move by itself with the kick to the leg in addition to the open palmed strike causes the creation to actually fall a bit hard onto its back on the ground. As this was done, Varis sees that a trio of the creations were coming after him now. Varis didn't run however, as he braces himself while also mentally coming up with a plan of sorts. Once they were upon him and were hurling their limbs at the boy. Varis winds up targeting the one at the far right as he placed his right foot behind the creation's left foot while making sure they were pointing to each other and to the creation's eyes if it has any visual sensory going on it would seem like the boy merely disappeared. When in reality he just quickly stepped around the creation, though Varis wasn't out of the woods yet as the other two would see him so they would try to strike at Varis. So the boy actually places his right foot in front of the third creation's feet while chopping at the creation's neck area with his right hand as he simultaneously slams his left forearm against the side of the creation's body. Which causes the creation to actually fall on its face, though with the added force to the side it actually falls sideways that winds up colliding with the other two of the creations since that's where they were coming from. The trio of ink creations winds up falling onto the ground, though it wasn't necessarily a hard fall, it still knocked the three down to the ground. However a noticeable thing occurs with Varis as he reaches up and places a hand on his own side where he was struck earlier by one of the creations. A wince can be seen in the kid's face, though he merely lowers his hand before turning his attention to the rest of the creations that was now coming after him. Noting that aside from the three on the ground there's currently seven of them left.

As one of the creations came at him at what originally was intended to be a hurling a fist at the boy, it quickly changed its attack into a leg sweep while a second creation actually leaps over the first one to hurl a fist at the boy's face. Or in essence if the leg sweep succeeds then the second creation would've followed the boy to the ground before dealing a punch to the kid's face. Varis's eyes widened slightly from seeing the combination of attacks, however Varis counters this by jumping over the leaping creation's attack following up with a flipping axe kick to the creation's head and drives the creation hard into the ground where the first creation lays causing both of them to disperse before Varis lands on his feet in their place. Seeing the remaining five coming at him, he assumes a more aggressive phase to this little battle royal type of thing going on around here. The boy leaps in a powerful form towards the group of five creations as one of them came to a screeching halt after seeing that Varis was beginning to spin his body around as he made his way over to them in the leap. Seemingly knowing of what was going to happen, the creation ducks leaving the one behind it a bit confused before it realized a tad bit too late as Varis's foot delivers a strong blow to the creation's head. However Varis's second leg that was aimed a little lower winds up delivering a strong blow to the creation that tried to duck under the attack dispersing both of them before Varis touches the ground with his feet skidding a foot forward while still spinning in a slower motion this time. With the fist clenched that has a gauntlet equipped on it raising up, when Varis stopped in his tracks he actually used his built up momentum to deliver a strong punch into the third creation's stomach area in a skyward arc.

After dispersing that creation, there was a soft rustling occurring behind the kid which drew his attention as he sees the three other creations that was originally knocked to the ground was now almost right on him. Varis didn't have much time to react before one of the ink creations actually wrapped its arms around Varis which pins his arms in place. With Varis struggling against the grip, he sees that the other two were about to deliver a double punch, one fist coming from each of them that was coming for Varis's stomach. However Varis quickly jumps from the ground to where he actually causes the grappler to lift the kid up a bit which was more than enough as Varis brought his legs up as the other two winds up delivering a punch to the grappler's groin. Which was more than enough to cause the grappler to actually loosen the grip a bit as Varis quickly stomps on the two attackers' face with his feet while leaning forward as he was coming down. This causes his grappler to actually roll forward and over the boy as the attackers stumble backwards a bit from the stomp while Varis was still somewhat caught in the creation's grasp as he actually rolls over with the grappler and delivers double kick to both of the stumbling attackers in the stomach area. Which causes the two to fall prone on their backs before Varis drives an elbow hard into the rib area of his grappler's body and felt the grip loosen even more. So Varis used this opportunity to roll over to the side so that the boy can get on his feet finally. However there was two others that were left unattended as they came up behind Varis while attempting to deliver a kick of sorts at his back. Though they weren't very quiet about it so Varis was able to hear them and actually leapt over their attacks while following up with a flipping axe kick that's actually a backflip to one of the two creations. That one disperses upon being hit by the kick as Varis also follows up on that by actually extending his left leg to kick into the second creation's chest to both deal some blunt damage and to also use it as a jumping pad which sends Varis away from the creations in roughly six feet from them in general before flipping his body to land on his feet safely. Currently there is exactly four out of the twelve that was originally created around here and its only been a minute and a half since this entire battle royal started. However Varis is starting to pant from the fatigue steadily creeping up into his body and in truth he's a bit winded too.

So only four creations remained, how interesting! Michiko watched the events unfold as she herself began to paint the image of a giant looking ogre upon her page before bringing it to life with a short series of hand signs. She made this ogre as large as she possibly could make it, it would provide the best form of testing against her binding technique so seeing as though she had him now, she sent the other two over to the kid so that he could make use of them before they were disposed of. Now then, she began to build up her chakra yet again, this time building up as much of it as she possibly could and she began to form the hand signs for her binding technique. She didn't perform them slowly this time, she needed to have this jutsu battle ready and so she flicked through them quickly and then pushed her chakra from her body and poured it into her ink. The black liquid shot out from the container and began to constrict the giant ink ogre's arms and legs tightly as if it were made of silk rope.

The bindings squeezed the limbs tightly to prevent any movement from the ogre and now it was the moment of truth at last. She watched as the ogre struggled in its binds and tried to break them. This went on for a few moments and nothing. This ogre was not able to break her technique! She cheered and jumped up and down with a smile as she let the bindings fade. To think she actually did it! She was so happy! So happy that she sent the ogre over to Varis as well. Perhaps he'd like that one! It was big and strong, but not very fast.

Michiko cancelled out her ink creations and bowed her head. "Thank you for your brilliance this day." She returned to her original stature and went on her way back to the village.

Thanks for the training, partner.

After seeing that the rest of the creations have been canceled out, Varis finally lets out a sigh of relief before Kenshi laughs a little bit at his student. Eventually they get their things up in their arms and they too make their way back to the village.

No problem :3 Tbh I was a bit surprised that I learned 2 techniques from this XD
