Senri Lightning Dojo. (Stronghold, Training, Open)

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu was still rubbing a sore spot on his head, though it must have been minor otherwise it would have started healing already. But he was healing far more rapidly than normal but the skull explained that. "Hey Kimi. Yea I have if i don't I am liable to cut a limb off. Cousin, this is Kimi one of your students. " He pocketed the envelope and money.

"Er... Hello there." Shiki said kinda awkwardly. He wasn't really expecting anyone else to be watching the fight. He lived a rather solitary life away from most people unless it was a festival or something of that nature. Shiki took his helmet off. He considered it a bit rude to hide behind a mask when speaking to someone. It was a rather awful trait he noticed with a lot of anbu agents. Anyone hiding themselves had a reason to. 

[Therakill]

Hello Master Shiki, it is nice to finally meet you. I am Kimimaru Akasun. I have been Ryu's sparring partner these last few months. But watching you both fight was something else. Though it seemed like most here wasn't able to watch you all." Kimi held out his hand to Shiki, with as friendly a smile he could muster. For the most part it looked strained and forced, Kimi still wasn't good at this talking to people thing. Missions were one thing socially was a another thing all together.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu snicker a little at the awkward exchange they were having. It was more directed at Shiki than Kimi but either way it was funny. The bad monster hunter is being so awkward in a social scene and Kimi was just as bad but had more of an excuse. It was sad that the nine year old was a bit better talker than either but then again that wasn't by much. He didn't do social very often either, but with his actual craft and other jobs he has done he was forced to learn some social graces. 

With that and one last chuckle he said farewell and moved out because he had some healing to do and training to catch up on. Besides he had a plan to become much tougher of an opponent next time.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Aeroglass Katanas (Advanced) x2
Rank: "B"
Type: Main, Slashing, Sword
Effect: A weapon with a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard.
Special: made of Special material allowing armour to float, and a user to strike +1 extra time for 1 movement.
Drawback: ---
Description: A One-Handed Weapon. These weapons do +16 Amour Points of Damage. A longsword (also spelled long sword, long-sword) is a type of sword characterized as having a cruciform hilt with a grip for two handed use and a straight double-edged blade of around 100–122 cm (39–48 in). The longsword is characterised not so much by a longer blade, but by a longer grip, which indicates a weapon designed for2-handed use or 1-handed use. Examples of Longswords: Katana, Jian, Tachi, Scimitr, Shinai, and Waster.
Description: Identification: Average; Hardness: 7; Armour Points/Inch: 12; Armour Class: -4. Aeroglass is a light, strong glass containing small amounts of adamantine and numerous minute air bubbles. It is sometimes found as slag floating on top of lava in active volcanoes. Not as strong as steel per unit volume, it has hardness 7 and 12 Armour Points per inch of thickness; an equivalent volume of aeroglass weighs only 1/5 as much as steel. Weapons made of aeroglass are always masterwork. Due to their light weight, they gain an additional +1 additional attack in 1 movement per round while using a weapon made of Aeroglass, though this bonus does not stack with any enchantment bonus. Aeroglass armour needs to be thicker in order to provide the same protection as normal Armour, so gives no special benefits. However, since it floats, adventurers sometimes wear armour of this substance.
Limit: Crafted by Ryutatsu 'Little Wolf'
Cost: 47,250 Ryo

Ryutatsu approached the dojo armory with the pieces he hoped to sell there. They were his hobby stuff and not the perfections he had made but are good for general use. It was better than some equipment anyways. He was happy making swords and other armaments for his fellow students. Ryutatsu worked long hours in the forge for his hobby it seemed.

-Please pay 82.350 ryo to ryutatsu


Shiki held the weapons out and weighed them in his hands. He was familiar with the material it was crafted out of that's for sure. But what was more impressive was how fast the kid was churning out this equipment. "You've done really well here Ryu." Shiki said as he held the weapons out. These would make fantastic additions to his collection. Shiki sat down and looked at the kid once more. Shiki looked down at the little kid and started walking back to his office. "Ryu i'd like you to follow me." Shiki said with a slight excitement in his voice. 

Shiki started walking towards his office and with the slightest exertion from his blood limit he moved the heavy metal walls aside as he headed back into his office. 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu followed quiet wondering what is up. It was rare for Shiki to want to talk in his office. Actually outside a few missions they haven't interacted as much of late. But this should be interesting either way. Ryutatsu's interactions before have always been interesting with his cousin. His cousin basically took him in and gave him something to do with his life. It was because of Shiki he met Loki, Kimi, and others. Even his craft of swords was because of this history between them.

[Deleted]

Shiki sat down at his desk and offered Ryu a seat. It was something he had not really paid much attention to of recently. But at the rate Ryu was progressing it wouldn't be that much longer until he was a formidable ninja in his own right. Shiki looked him over for a moment as he finally spoke. His bright blue eyes sparkled with a strange energy. 

"Since the foundation of our clan. The concept of family has been a dirty word. An idea of scorn seems to have become synananous with pain, distrust and disloyalty. Ryu. You are my one living relative and I'm a firm believer that family should take care of family." Shiki ran his fingers across the table as he composed himself a bit more. 

"Ryu I'm the last living member of my house. If I were to perish tomorrow this clan and my legacy will all fade into obscurity." Shiki pulled out a piece of paper and slid it over across the table to the kid. "Now I fully plan on living forever. But in the event that something were to happen to me. I'm leaving everything I have built here to you. To show you a bit of trust... I want to formally accept you into my house. If you would like. You can address yourself as a Senri. With that comes the total protection of the house and all the resources we have. Of course you are also going to be receiving a parcel of land outside of the village in the land of claw. I'd like to open up another school there. I firmly believe that you are able to train and teach there. I'd like to put you in charge of it."

[Therakill]

Kimi just watched as the two walked away. It was a little disheartening to watch. He had yet to feel like an outsider in the Dojo till that moment. When two family members completely ignored him. He didn't get much interaction with his clan at all. He didn't like his clan all that much. They had let him suffered under his Mother's hand for too long.

Kimi stood there lost in thought with rage, depression, and loneliness Waring across his face. If any one looked close enough it would almost seem like he was tearing up. He had to lock down his emotions or lose control in public. Kimi was so focused on controlling his emotions that he didn't move for a long while

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu didn't mean to ignore Kimi at all, he was just concentrating on the business side of things with the armory when he had passed Kimi in the courtyard. And then he was involved in the conversation with Shiki. Besides he had trained long and hard with Kimi,it was almost as if Kimi was his student. Either way, bringing his attention to the moment, and he was a bit shocked. Shiki had never even hinted something like this was in the wind. He barely nodded in sheer shock of it all. He now had a family though technically all that changed was now he could claim another name.

To give himself time to think, Ryutatsu began reading the paper. He was just so happy though and he began compartmentalizing. The first thing he could take care of was questions about a satellite dojo. For if he was going to be in charge of something he should know all about it. And that was heady stuff for he had never been in charge. With a little shake of his head he open his mouth to speak.

"Thank you, Shiki. This means a lot to me. A few questions on this other dojo. What is it build of, and can I see it's blue prints? Where in the Land of Claw is it? "

[Deleted]

"It's in the capital city in the land of fang. I constructed a portal that should allow one of us to open the portal at will. Allowing us to move from dojo to dojo and across the planet in a single bound.The gate will require someone with the Kyoudo bloodlimit to open the portal and take people to and from the dojo with no issue. This way it should prevent anyone we don't want to have access to open the portal. I've been thinking about another failsafe but that's not important at the moment. Right now the dojo is small in comparison. It's a modest three story building with a 5-6 acre plot. Funds are running a bit dry for me at the moment. I can help match your investments into your dojo ryo per ryo. But I can't afford to finance the entire building. With or crafting skills and my ability to stretch a dollar out. We should be able to furnish that entire dojo and bring it up to the same level as this one." 

Shiki signed a piece of paper and handed the paper over to Ryu. 

"Some people might give you shit because of your age. If they do show them this piece of paper. My name still carries a lot of weight in the land of Fang. House Senri has a tradition of honor and a legacy of valor Ryutatsu. I could think of no one more worthy to continue it then you. In all but blood you are now my brother." 

Shiki gave a rare smile as his sapphire eyes flashed. Shiki saw a lot of himself in Ryu. Especially from his younger days before his time on the road had hardened him. Life was not kind to Shiki. If he could make it any easier for his own blood then he would. 

"Rebuilding the clan starts with us Ryutatsu. Are you with me?" 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu took the paper and rolled it up. Then he placed it carefully in a pouch full of maps and other scrolls to be safe. Then he looked up at Shiki. "I am with you. Thank you for the trust you are entrusting me with." Ryutatsu's acute senses caught the thing about another Fail safe. Another thing that was brought to his mind was the fake Kyoudo of the Land of Claw, would they be able to use that portal. The cost and size of the Dojo didn't worry him as much, for time was on his side.

"I can handle expanding the place like I was doing with the extension. I think the first thing I am gonna need to invest in is a battle ring and training area. You do realize though I incorporate wood into my training?" Ryutatsu's green eyes flashed with plans and ideas to make the other dojo as big and as good as the one he was sitting in. Another set of thoughts was who to bring over to that dojo as trainers while he was away on missions.

[Deleted]

"Do what you wish. Simply carry yourself with honor and do nothing that might endanger our house and reputation. You will always have my sword here at your side if you need it."

Shiki smiled as he saw the boys face light up. 

"Alright little wolf. Get back out there and keep doing great things. If you craft more things for money let me know. I've grown rather shrewd with these salesmen. To activate the portal all you need do is activate your nagare field, have the blood of a Kyoudo and bear a sigil of house Senri on your person. You should be able to move 8-9 people at a time." 

With that Shiki handed him a small cloth that had a woven depiction of a direwolf on it. 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

He received the small cloth with thanks. "Thank you, and I will. You have my word." Ryutatsu nodded and exited the office using his own powers to open and shut the heavy metal doors. While he didn't have the pure strength of Shiki he was still strong in the blood. Ryutatsu was very happy as he went back out to the courtyard and then noticed Kimi and the state , that Kimi was trying to hide. "Kimi, what's the matter?"

[Therakill]

"Nothing just lost in thought, so what was all that about." it was an akward reply and one that he didn't he try to hide the like. But he put a smile on his face and tried to see normal and ok.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu tilted his head in an unspoken question and then mentally shrugged. He was only gonna pry so far. He wasn't that comfortable with social norms to know how far to pry. "I was summoned by Shiki because I am to become an instructor now. I have graduated as a student though I still have much to learn. "

"Oh that's pretty cool, so are you going to teach here or the extension? Cause I noticed a few places with the extension that could use fortifying. I have been hitting the books pretty hard in my down time. I am turning in to a decent engineer, but that's besides the point. I am glad Shiki can see your talents, when will you start your new job?" Kimi perked up at this thought and line of questions.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu shook his head. "That is the best part, he is asking me to head a whole satellite facility but it's in the Land of Fang. Its just a simple building for now, but I have the task to build it up. Maybe you want to join me and help me get it running?"
