Hirochi's Training (paused once more)

[Kazasaki Hirochi]

Arriving at his new home after the long walk from the mountains he heads home to practice some of the jutsus from the medicial nin hand book he recieved upon gaining his acceptance to the village.

looking down the list he chooses a simple one:

Sansokyoukyuu (Oxygen supply)
Rank D
Type: NinJutsu
Description: An easy justu for the Medical Ninja. A ninja uses chakra upon the chest area focusing it to help the body in some ways. It helps the lungs expand easier making the chest and neck muscles become more officient which allows the airways to expand and pulmonary blood vessels so then the cells of the body may breathe easier.

He lays down on the floor and places a stack of books on his chest, having more difficulty breathing now he takes one last look at the manual and starts concentration on sending charka to his hand, having a bit more harder time in breathing he pushes the charka in to his chest, having little results he sits up letting the books drop to the ground, catching his breath he deems that his mind isnt focus at the moment and takes a few minutes meditating and forming charka, by transforming a few times with henge no jutsu.

Feeling a bit more warmed up he lays back down on the ground and restacks the books on his chest. Focusing agian and sending charka to his hands, he pushes it in to his body. Hirochi tries taking a breathe, but the weight of the books still make it hard for him to inhale, focusing harder on his chest, he tries taking a breathe agian and this time the books start to move a little bit, and he is able to take a small breath of air, pushing the books off agian he takes another long deep breath, and lays back down agian placing the books on his chest agian. this time repeating the process, concentrating harder on sending charka through his hands to his chest , he feels the weight on his chest grown a little lighter, as he does he draws in air slowly and the books move a bit more than the first time. One last time he lays back down and places the book on his chest, he concentrates on his chest and the weight begins to lighten, as he draws in air he feels the weight of the books on his chest pushing down on his chest as he breathes. Able to move the books more he takes a break, now he tells himself he just got to do it faster

Waking up on his second morning in the village, Hirochi wakes up at his usual time, and goes for his daily morning jog. After jogging his usual 2 hours he finds himself outside the village right at the little family owned restaurant he had his first meal in the village of cloud. Taking a rest to catch his breath, he walks over to the lake behind the small building he cleans his sweat in the water. As he scoops up water in his hands and splashing it in his face, he thinks to himself. “I don’t normally have this much trouble running this far.”

Looking up in at the early morning sun, he sits by the river’s edge, for a moment he is engulfed but the silence of nature, the wind rustling through the leafs, the chipping of the song birds, and the buzzing of the cicadas.“Cicadas huh? Is it really summer already?” He says to himself. A breezes gusts by and a scrap of newspaper gets caught on Hirochi’s arm, using his other arm he picks up the newspaper and crumples it up, as he does he spots the weather report.

“Today’s High 95^o Low of 88^o humidity 98%. Tonight’s High 88^o Low of 82^o humidity 85%. Tomorrow’s High 99^o Low 90^o Humidity 99%”
After reading the weather report he checks the date of the paper, on the headline of the newspaper the date of a previous date was printed.“I guess is really is summer.”


.” Checking his watch, it was 18 minutes after 9, the morning was already hot and sticky and the sky, blue and bright with no clouds in sight.

Still breathing hard from all the running Hirochi remembering the training he did for medical training, wondering if the jutsu would help, he concentrates charka to his hands at once, almost instantly his hands glows with charka, he slowly touches his chest with the now glowing hands, taking a deep breath in and his chest puffs up with less difficulty than he had before, his lungs now full of fresh air and his breathing calms down, using his index and middle fingers of his other hand he touches an area underneath his neck under his jaw and feels his pulse, as he counts, the intervals in between each beat widens and his heart rate slows down to a normal pace he removes his and from his chest and ends the jutsu.

Finally rested and full of energy again he takes a drink of water from the lake, and heads back in to town, but jogging this time instead of running. As he heads back in to town he passes an old couple out for their morning walk, a young boy walking his dog, and a chattering group of traveling merchants. As Hirochi rounds the first corner leading back to the village he sees a mother and her son, the son was hunched over, while the mother is vigorously stroking her son’s back, Hirochi heads over to them asks what happened, the mother explains that the boy has asthma and is starting to flared up due to the hot weather and is having trouble breathing.

Hirochi asks the mother if he could have a look at her son, hesitant at first Hirochi gains her confidence by tell her he a medical nin of the village, finally she agrees, Hirochi begins by feeling the boy’s neck, he able to that the airway has swelled quite a bit, then Hirochi checks the boys chest, feeling the spots in between his ribs checking for any other signs of swelling, relieved that the boys chest hasn’t begun to swell up yet he.

Hirochi tries the only thing he can do, he forms the blue aura around his hand, the same charka he had used to help himself breath easier just a few moments ago, he puts his hand on the boy’s back, right where behind his chest, as he does so he tells the boy to try to take a deep breath, as the boy does so there’s a loud wheezing sound, Hirochi as if it is any easier for him to breath, the boy nods and says “yeah its a little bit better” in a breathless voice, still concerned about the wheezing Hirochi focus the charka that is flowing to his hands and tries to concentrate it in spot directly behind the boy’s lungs. Hirochi tells the boy to take a deep breath again, still a wheezing sound but the boy seems able to draw in a bit more air. Hirochi, still a bit concerned of the wheezing sound, checks the boy’s throat again, although his lungs is able to draw in more air, his throat is still inflamed and still have a risk of completely closing off.

The passing group of chattering merchants whom Hirochi passed earlier has finally caught up to Hirochi, as they were passing he over hears one of them complaining how he found a rare stock of Astragals (Astragalus membranaceus), remember the herbal functions and remedies he learned all his life from helping back home in his family’s clinic, Hirochi rushes over to the man and asks him if he still have the astragalus plant, overwhelmed by the sudden burst of words, the man answers him in a slightly drawn back tone, “W-w-well yes but I its one of my last ones.” Hirochi pulls out his wallet taking out all his money, just bout 900 Ryo he say’s he’ll buy it, the man takes out an old brown box and lifts the lid, inside pieces of thin dried, wood looking herb, Hirochi picks up a piece of the wood like chips, and sniffs, it satisfied he takes the box out of the merchants hand and goes back to attending the boy, starting the Sansokyoukyuu again but it the same intensity as the second time he used it on boy, wit his other hand he hands the box to the boy’s mother, he tells her to grind it up to a powder between to rocks, then take the dust in to a damp handkerchief, a few minutes later she returns with the slightly wet bundle.

Hirochi instructs her to hold the bundle over his mouth, but not block whole thing, then he tells the boy to take long and deep breath, as he feels the boy’s chest expanding he focuses a greater amount of charka to the spot just until he feels that the boy cant inhale no more, Hirochi eases of the flow of charka, the boy’s mother pulling the bundle back, Hirochi hears that the wheezing has nearly subsided, and tells them that they’ll repeat the procedure a few more times, after the 4th repetition the wheezing is barely heard, breaking of the jutsu, he checks the boy’s throat once more, the inflammation of the boy’s throat seems had have stopped and gone back to normal. He asks the boy how he feels, in a much healthier tone of voice the boy said he feels much better and that he can breathe find again. Hirochi, the boy, and his mother get back on the feet, Hirochi looks around and for the first time notices he had drawn a crowd, the old couple, the group of chattering merchant from whom he bought the herbs from and even the boy walking his dog. The mother and the boy both take a bow to thank Hirochi, “I don’t know how I can repay you for helping my son out” the mother saids, “I’ve taken an oath to help though who need my help I don’t need no thanks” replies Hirochi. Both the mother and child turn to leave, the crowd continues on the way, Hirochi starts heading back to the village, but before he can take a step the merchant whom Hirochi bough the herb from, extends a hand out to him, “Here I won’t charge you for the herbs” and returns a money Hirochi gave for buying the herbs, before Hirochi can protest the merchant was already far down the road back with his fellow merchants. Feeling satisfied Hirochi heads back in to town.

Senbon Taitoku Stance
Rank: E Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A way of holding senbon that adds to all attacks made with them.
Special:None
Drawback: Required to know for ALL other Senbon Taitoku jutsu
Description: Holding the senbon between knuckles but also holding their wrist back and the senbon farther up then most senbon users hold it. This adds to power and accuracy and allows the Senbon Taitoku to master their craft.
Limit: Must be of the Senbon Taitoku

Having mastered the Sansokyoukyuu jutsu the previous day, Hirochi wakes up back in his apartment on in the eight story walk up. Now that he is equipped to deal with some of the very basics of helping others, now its time to focus on protecting himself, he gets out of bed and begins the day, fixing a plate of toast and jam, scrambled eggs and a cup of coffee he sets them on his kitchen table, with a view of the town below, Hirochi heads over to the bookshelf and pulls out the Jutsu’s handbook, and heads back to his breakfast, flipping through the book he passes the TaiJutsu section, he stops and takes a moment to reflect “Come to thinking of it I don’t know much tai yet might as well start here.”

Taking a look down the long index his eyes are automatically drawn to the word “Senbon,” flipping pages till the words “Senbon Taitoku” is large bold black is written on the top of the page. He reads the description of the unique style, at the end of the chapter the Dojos and masters are listed, to his surprise he sees a location right in the village, finishing his breakfast, he dumps the plate and cup in to the sink, grabbing his jacket he heads out the door.

After an hour wandering around Hirochi finally finds the Dojo mentioned in the book, a large old fashion building with a bolt of lightning engraved on each of the open doors, leading from the main doors stone steps form the road leading up to the main building, as Hirochi reached the doors for the main build he spots a tall man with pale skin, with blonde hair, slowly take a sip of tea, in an almost ceremonious way, Hirochi immediately recognizes him as Makan Akio from the jutsus book. Before Hirochi can say a word the man greets him with a friendly hello and ask if there’s anything that he can help him with, Hirochi explains that he’s looking to learn the art of senbon fighting, Akio explains to him that he won’t teach his skills to just anyone, Hirochi replies by showing his qualifications as a medical nin, Akio accepts this and leads Hirochi around to the back of the building.

In the back there are multiple dummies with targets over different areas of the body, there are other students practicing as well, but one thing that catches Hirochi’s eye is that all of them are wearing a odd red glove similar to his own MMA gloves. Akio leads Hirochi towards the far side of the yard where there are simpler targets Akio explains the rules and regulations of the dojo once Hirochi nods to signify that he understands.

“Now the first thing you must learn is how the hold the senbon for maximum power and accuracy” Akio started. “Now let me see what you can do with a senbon, aim for that target there” pointing to a single target mounted on the side of a tree over 300 yards way.

Hirochi clumsily draws out a senbon from his left side, and throws it with all his might, after flying a few yards it drops to the ground no where near half the distance to the target, a nearby group of students looking starts giggling, just then Akio shoots a sharp look towards the direction of the laughter and the students continue their training.

“Go retrieve your senbon and try again.” Quietly to Hirochi

After the short walk to retrieve the senbon, Hirochi tries again but again with little success, Akio once more tells him to retrieve the senbon, but to hand it to him this time, retrieving the senbon and hands it over to Akio. Akio takes a odd stance placing the senbon in between his index and middle fingers, with a flick of his wrist the senbon was no longer in Akio’s hands but dead center of the target. Akio instructs him to use try to copy what he had just done, trying to remember clearly what Akio had done step by step Hirochi starts.

Firstly he takes the same stance and holds a senbon between his index and middle fingers, with the same flicking motion, he sends the senbon even shorter than when he did the with his old way, pulling out another one he tries once more, this time before he can flick his wrist in to the direction of the target, the senbon flies off to the right, frustrated he grabs another one in to his right hand, but before he can throw it again Akio tells him to stop, heads over to Hirochi and explain that he has to control how he holds the senbon with his fingers, after positioning the senbon in to his hand, Hirochi once more tries once more, this time the senbon flies out of his hand when he wanted it to, and lands about half way to the target.

“Not bad, this time work on the flick of the wrist, and try to sync it with the release of the senbon.” Instructs Akio

After a few more tries Hirochi is getting the hang of throwing the senbon straight and powerfully, after going through with his supply of senbons, he takes a break to retrieve his senbons and to reveal his progress, although none of his senbons actually hit he was able to get closer with each try, Hirochi spends the day working on trying to hit the target. By the end of the day Hirochi is able to get 20 out 25 to hit the target and 8 or the 20 to hit dead center, “That’s enough for today, you came a long way in a short time” Akio tells Hirochi, “by the way this technique is the basic Senbon Taitoku Stance.” Thanking him for the teaching him, Hirochi heads home.

Name: Senbon Illusion
Rank: C
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Creates a fake hail of senbon needles, but in amongst them is one real one...
Special: Ox, Tiger, Serpent, Dog
Drawback: You will waist 1 senbon, and the range isn't very far.
Description: First, you would need to hide and peform the hand seals, but make sure you are near to your opponent. Once activated, you must throw 1 senbon into the air. It duplicates, and creates a fake hail of senbons raining down on your opponent. But the one you threw at first is hidden amongst them, and towards the end of the move it will strike, dealing a fair amount of damage to the opponent. Also, the fake needles cause real pain, to confuse the victim more. Can be used with sharpshooter move.

Limit: You must be able to use senbon needles

After having just learned the Senbon taituko stance, Hirochi heads home, being new to the area Hirochi naturally gets lost in a matter of minutes taking random turns here and there, winding up in a dark ally Hirochi decides its best to get a bird’s eye view of the area, with a little dash Hirochi starts to scale the wall of the ally, after climbing up three floors Hirochi hears a scream, looking around in a pose resembling a gorilla swing on a vine Hirochi tries and look for the source of the scream. About 2 blocks away on the same street in the same type of dark dank ally Hirochi sees a group of men about 6 or 7 in number surrounding 2 females.

Just from the scene alone Hirochi knew that the group was up to no good, Hirochi takes off in the instant. As he’s running over the aid the girls, he tries to formulate a strategy to deal with them, having just recently learned the Senbon Taituko Hirochi doesn’t have much confidence in his abilities to hit all his targets without endangering the hostages, and having only bought his senbon needles with him today because he only expected to learn the Senbon Taituko, he left his kunais and shurikens at home, the only other weapon he had on him was his jutsus and being a medical nin only one is really abled to be called offensive, the charka scalpels, but in order to use that he had to get in close and with the number 7 to 1 it wasn’t likely he would be able do much harm, the best thing to do would be to get in close enough to accurately use the senbons , and widdle the numbers down to his favor, but to do that he would have it fast, before the other members of the bunch can take notice, so in reality the best thing to do is to get rid of them all at once.

Being in a bit of a bind, Hirochi expectantly knows that he don’t have any jutsu what can do that, but the next best thing would be they just got scared off, remembering a jutsu that he passes this over in the morning when he was having breakfast, a genjutsu that deals with senbons. Trying to remember all the details Hirochi struggles to get all the information he can from the brief glance, “Lets see if I remember correctly it was Ox Tiger Sheep, Dog” Thinking to himself, as he reaches the roof of a building above the bunch, forming the seals and taking a senbon out of his pouch, Hirochi drops it directly over one of the attackers head, as it falls Hirochi expecting one of the men to look up, instead nothing happens, the man had moved and the senbon had fell silently to the ground.

“That was odd even if I missed the others should have saw the illusion…unless I got something wrong!” A bit worried now Hirochi tries to remember as much as he could, “Damn was it the seals I’m sure it was ox tiger sheep and dog…wait not it was snake not sheep” Slapping himself on the forehead with his palm Hirochi tries again, he takes out a senbon, forms the seals, and drops it after a few seconds he hears one of the men let out a owww, with that signal Hirochi quick jumps over to the next building and ducks behind the ledge.

“Damn nothing happened this time, if it had worked all of them would have saw it, and I’m sure that it would have done more damage than just an oww.” Said Hirochi peeved. Closing his eyes this time and concentrating on the seals, Hirochi pulls out a senbon and concentrates on the charka as he forms the seals, and pictures the genjutsu in his mind, with a flick of the wrist Hirochi launches the senbon in to the air above one of the attackers, again the senbon missed but he heard of the attackers say “Did you see that?”
Satisfied Hirochi ducks back behind the ledge and prepares his next attack, again taking a senbon and forming the seals, and picturing the jutsu in his mind, and threw it up in to air above the attackers, this time he heard more responses.
“You saw that didn’t you?” One of them said.
“Yeah I saw it, like several silver flashes right?” answered another.
More confident, Hirochi repeats the process, pulls out a senbon, forms the seals, pictures the image of the senbons in his mind, and throws it above the attackers, this time Hirochi can see that the senbon lingered in the air for a few seconds before falling, this time more of the attackers responded to his attack, although they are suspecting that there is someone there they still ignore Hirochi’s attempts to scare them off. Kind of annoyed that the thugs aren’t paying much attention to him, this time retries the jutsu, but instead of just picturing this image the senbons in imagines the pain it would cause as if senbons had actually struck and pierced. Throwing the senbon aboved them again, no letting go of the image in his mind, a few oww’s come form below while the senbon still lingers in the air, a second or two longer than before and falls.

“Whos up there show yourself!!” demands on of the attackers, Hirochi’s respond to the demand was another hail of senbons. Running short on chakra, Hirochi grabs half of his remaining senbons, and jumps over the ledge, as he descends, he picks off the shocked thugs one by one, shooting off senbons at their vital points, taking out 3 of the thugs with the senbons, he bounces off one of the thugs knocking him out in the process, using the bounce, he plants one foot in to the face of another one charging at him with knife, as his foot touches solid ground, the last of the thugs, stand before him with an almost bored like expression, taking offense to this Hirochi demands of the thug, “What’s with that look?”

“I was just wondering if you were done with that circus act yet that’s all.” Replied the thug with a smirk.
“Circus act!?!?, and just who do you think you are?” responded Hirochi.
“I’ll tell you know jutsus of that level are no match for me.” Replied the thug with an even more snug smirk before launching a kunai at Hirochi.
Dodging the attack with “Body Replacement” Hirochi “Body Flickers” behind the thug, holding a senbon at the neck, of the thug taking him by surprise, the thug wonders how it had happened, looking at the spot where Hirochi was moments earlier, he sees a green jacket pinned against the opposite wall with the kunai,

“Huahahaha, not bad for a shinobi with such low level techniques,” A voice coming from behind Hirochi.
“Bushin no jutsu?” Hirochi in a shocked voice under his breath, turns his head around to see nothing, before Hirochi could turn his head back to face the thug, his hand was already being twisted, disarming Hirochi of the senbon, with a kick to the stomach Hirochi is sent flying in a to side of the ally. Before Hirochi could recover from the attack, the thug was already on top of him delivering punches, blocking the punches with arms crossed over his head, while the punches continued Hirochi concentrated the last of his chakra to his hands using Chakra Enjintou, when the light blue aura of chakra envelopes his hands, Hirochi grabs the thug’s wrist and circles the wrist with his hand, and a scream of pain erupts from the thug, Hirochi had cut the muscles at the wrist making the thug’s hand go limp, this was all Hirochi was capable of doing with the last of his chakra, kicking the thug off of him, he gets up thug grabbing at his wrist with his only working hand staring at Hirochi with an look of absolute hatred, the two stand there sizing each other up, both can no longer fight but they couldn’t afford to let the other know that.

The stand off lasted no more than a minute but to Hirochi it seemed like hours, before than man had finally backed off swearing revenge on Hirochi in a tone filled with absolute hate, before being carried away by his other comrades. With his face full of bruises Hirochi turns and face to two ladies whom both were very attractive, Hirochi wondered how he must’ve looked like to the two, they both thanked him for saving them and gave him a small piece of paper, Hirochi took the piece of paper, it was a coupon for free drinks to a gentleman’s lounge. Kind of taken back, Hirochi asked the two why they were attacked, they explain that the one who he had used the Chakra Enjintou on was always harassing them at where they worked, which was the lounge mentioned on the coupon, he kept trying to get them to be with him but after they refused, and got he had gotten drunk he was kicked out, after they had gotten off of work, they felt like they were being followed so they tried to lose the stalker but ended up in their trap instead.

After explaining the situation one of them lights a cigarette, Hirochi ask them if they know who the guy was, they both didn’t know what his full name was but he had them call him Ken-san, apparently he was some drop out ninja from mist but now he’s running around with mobsters and gangs, collecting protection fees and such, one of them looks at their watch interrupting the conversation saying if they don’t leave now it they would miss their next shift. Before Hirochi could ask for directions the two where already out of the ally, one of them yelled back “Come see us sometime” and turned the corner out of sight. Hirochi went the opposite way just so it would be more poetic, and started to wander around looking for directions.

Used: 13 Senbons Recovered: 5 Senbons,
