To keep herself sharp, sometimes Schatzi would spar with herself by forming a Soul Split and fighting against it. It wasn't ideal, since she knew all her own moves, but on the other hand since she was fighting against herself all her moves were known by the opponent as well. That meant she had to get creative in order to make any progress. And due to the Soul Split's experience retention properties, it meant that no matter "who" won, Schatzi could expect some small improvements at least.

The continued for a time, genuinely trying to kill one another despite the low injury inflicting potential of bare handed strikes, but found that between their regenerative abilities and general durability, it was difficult to inflict any sort of lasting harm.

It seemed like there was something wrong with their basic technique. Each strike had the damage potential, if their measurement was accurate, of less than one fourth of even a Light injury. Each version of Schatzi considered how best to resolve the issue. By talking it out between themselves, they might be able to do a bit better after identifying where they were going wrong.

The strikes themselves were pathetically weak unless backed by copious amounts of enhancing chakra. That was probably to be expected actually. She was above all else a magic caster, with specific expertise in healing and illusions. She was never going to have the raw physical power of others as a baseline. She made up the difference with supernormal technique. And technique is exactly what was missing in the equation.

Her strikes were too raw and green. Not in the sense of coloration, but that when it came to actual martial arts she was a rookie. She just swung her fists around like a child with too much raw strength and expected it to be enough. That was going to have to stop. It was very possible that someone out there would be able to fight her on an even level in spite of her regenerative abilities. Not being able to fight for real in that circumstance would be foolish.

23/80
Heaven Shapeless: Dodge
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used to dodge and evade attacks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user learns how to proficiently dodge and evade flying objects as well as oncoming weapons through predicting the attacks. A very useful technique since the Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single) has no defensive capabilities. The user will stand in one position and learn the minimum amount of movements required to avoid an attack. The bending of the body at a rapid pace is essential to this technique as well as ducking, side-stepping, jumping, and bobbing/weaving. Each rank the user learns the user is capable of effectively knowing how to evade a technique equal in rank.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Tensora (天空 Heavenly Sky), Must know Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single).

Ryutatsu came out of the woods, not far from where he had met the goo girl. Here he had been training the sword during a festival of love but now he was here more for a new place to train. He remember somewhere around here was a broken down abandoned dojo. It was then he saw an odd sight of twin cat girls fighting each other. And something that made the almost ten year old blush they were not wearing much.

A complete contrast to him, he was fairly heavily armed and equipped. He wore a normal ninja like outfit but he wore a full suit of really fine mithral armor over it. Then he had his seed and shaving pouches attached to a tactical vest he wore. On his back he wore two swords on in a Copper plated sheath that was superbly detailed and crafted. The other sword had a simpler sheath but looked to be of similar quality.

His head band and googles were firmly in place as the sun was setting, but he didn't have his full complement of gear as he wasn't that far from the village. His main hand though had this weird gauntlet of unusual make. He also had what looked to be a few kunai, knives, tanto, and some shuriken.

He had come down here mainly to continue his training in the ways of Tensora. He wanted to become stronger and ran into a foreigner again. He really should tell the Raikage that foreigners keep finding their way close to the village. Well there wasn't much to do at this point but to be cautious as he reviewed battle tactics in his head. Grabbing a rose from his lapel he did special hand seals and suddenly he had a third sword.

In his hand from the rose had grown a sword of vines and thorns. The wicked looking thing was in a macabre shape of a katana as Ryutatsu adopted a defensive stance. He was being careful after his experiences with the mercenaries of the Land of Claw. "Who goes there? Why are you in these woods? " Ryutatsu spoke in a clear voice, trying determine if a fight was at hand.

Baratake (Rose Length)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A user may use a Rose as a lengthened weapon like a larger blade or a spiked club.
Special: As long as the user holds onto the rose and uses Barabuki (Rose Weapon) the user may change the size of the Rose without additional handseals.
Drawback: ---
Description: Holding the bud of the rose the user; after performing Barabuki (Rose Weapon) may control the length of the rose at will. The user may allow the rose stem grow in size, or even shrink it. The user may shrink the Rose to the size of a few inches, and may increase the size of the Rose to the size of a Great Sword. With this technique the user may also increase the size of the stem's width as well. This means that the user may increase the stem to the width size of a baseball bat or a large club. The user may also use the thorns of the whip as sharp tacks to sheer off skin or clothing that the whip attaches to. User may not change the stem size to abnormal shapes such as a shield.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Barabuki (Rose Weapon)

Nameru (To Taste)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, through the sharpening of their five senses and an instinctual knowledge of flow, becomes aware of their surroundings and capable of defending against attacks.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki (Drifting Snow).

Uncanny Dodge
Rank: “B”
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: The user is no longer be flat-footed.
Special: –-
Drawback: –-
Description: The user can react to danger before their senses would normally allow them to do so. They cannot be caught flat-footed, nor do they lose any Defensive benefits if the attacker is invisible. The user still loses their Defensive benefits if they are immobilized. A user with this ability can still lose their Defensive Abilities if an opponent successfully uses a feint attack. If the user already knows Uncanny Dodge from a different source, they may automatically learn Improved Uncanny Dodge.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) (20 Meters) (25 Rounds)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.
Special: -
Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

The twin catgirls fought their hardest, a sheen of sweat starting to coat their naked forms. Their breathing was becoming heavier, as they lacked stamina to exert themselves physically for extended periods. Since they weren't using any chakra to increase their abilities, each hit was pathetically weak. To an onlooker with a well trained eye, it would be a dreadful display, almost embarrassing with how amateurish it was.

The reason wasn't because of a low physical strength - that was something they still had a sufficient degree of considering they were supposed high level ninjas - but that they lacked any sort of expertise in how to fight. And their training wasn't something that would produce real results in its current state. If anything, their mistakes were only becoming more ingrained.

A voice rang out, and that was exactly the distraction one iteration of Schatzi needed to exploit and drive her skull into the space beneath the other's breast, crushing her heart and lungs and driving the air out of her body. She collapsed to her knees unable to breathe, and then faded gently from reality as she dismissed herself.

The remaining girl, the "real" Schatzi, turned to face the person who had broken the stalemate, heaving a great sigh and wrapping her tail about her waist. Sauntering over to the small thing, she clicked her fingers once and her preferred leather garb shimmered into place around her body, more for his modesty than her own.

"Me? Just a wanderer honing her skills. You can call me...Kitty. And you? Is this someplace of meaning to you?"

Ryutatsu emerald eyes flashed as he took in the cat girl who suddenly gained clothing as well as vanished her twin or more likely clone. So she was a Shinobi he could conclude easily. HE had seen Shiki perform the various clone techs enough not to be shocked or surprised. But to do such without hand seals that he could see meant she was high powered.

His mind was already working on judging her speed and reach. For if a fight ended up out of this he wanted to be prepared. This was even as his senses took in the cat girl as she was and as she is. His senses were in overdrive as he fitted a mental picture of twenty meters around them into his map in his head. For the first rule of dodging is knowing where to move.

The second rule of dodging was knowing when to move and that one was much harder. " You can call me Wolf, 'Kitty'. " He was already the little wolf to Shiki's White Wolf but only a few would know of his exploits he would suppose. Leaf, Sand, and Cloud all at least knew him. Either way he was trying to judge the character of this odd looking girl.

"This place was once a dojo, but like the village around here it has been abandoned since the war. I come here to train occasionally." Ryutatsu was wary of this cat girl for he knew appearances can be deceiving. Besides outside of Shiki, everyone was either a manipulator or had attacked him. Granted the situation in the Land of Claw was engineered that way.

Ryutatsu's mind though cycled through a list of possible attacks but came to the conclusion he knew to little of her abilities. But judging from appearance alone, taijutsu was not her particular strength. And Besides that she looked to have ways to enhance her abilities if the cat ears and sudden leather clothing were to judge by.
