The Meadow[Village Training Thread/ Open]

[DJ Loki]

Yuri skid to a stop when she saw the Tornadoes breeze by Godric. She observed as the dust and debris seemed to phase through him. Great he could go incorporeal. Well that would inform her future actions, and also made what she needed to do next all the more obvious. Her Air Trecks would do too much to him... yet. She stopped her hand seal when she saw Godric making some of his own and then the copies of himself began to appear, Yuri could instantly recognize them as illusions, but illusions she was going to need to clear anyway. As they drew they swords, she drew a sword of her own. As she unsheathed the Snapdragon, he little pet spirit dragon that floated next to her, transformed into a monstrous beast, as it grew so too did her sword, both of them revealing their True Forms.

The spirit that dwelled within the sword was so powerful in it's True Form that even those without a Byakugan could make out it's outline. Drave However would be able to see it in it's full glory. As the Draven' sent out their attacks, Yuri spoke as she countered, "Santoryu? I'm in middle of learning that myself? Have you mastered it? I could use a Teacher." Her blade was over her head as she looked at the attack coming her way... "Eat em' Up... Gilly." She making one powerful fluid slash down, The dragon that surround her let out a roar, as it roar a surge of pure energy exploded from the Blade. the energy engulfed everything within an 80 meter cone infront of her, and twisted into a tornado of power. All of the attack where engulfed and sent back at Godric +450%, with the power of Yuri's Own Wind Scar added on for good measure.

14,256ap of was coming back at him and flooding into the area around Yuri in an 80m radius. Being incorporeal would not help him with this attack. It was a good thing that the Anbu set up such a wide area for them to fight. Otherwise this definitely would have been fatally to a great deal of those training in the area. As the raging of power and energy filled the area, Yuri would have time to weave her hand seals without interruption. She began to make her one handed seals once again.

[Draven]

That was a lot of chakra. So many things happening in a short time. Godric witnessed the backlash of his assault. That was impressive. He noted his exits and could potentially evade. But this was not a test of survival, no one just the opposite.

He had witnessed the small dragon grow, along with Yuri's blade, both brimming with chakra. Just as he was to be engulfed in this chakra, Godric slammed his hand to the ground and a Dome of Force, a pure Chakra surrounded him. His chakra reserve becoming very strained... Things would get tough from this point on. The dome around him was centered on him. Reaching out 3 meters in a dome, it could negate all forms of damage. Save for Gaze attacks, nothing can penetrate the dome. Thus he was now a conductor..."I am indeed a master, twice over..." he responded to Yuri, the honor of teaching a Kage never lost on a former.

As for the clones. All of them would be struck, all of them taken by the miasma of lethal chakra. But, as the debris cleared, a larger army grew. Each illusion from this particular technique, when struck with damage, rather than be destroyed, duplicated... The original 8 now 16, though they are but useless to Godric now. But the 64 quasi real clones, they split...into a horde of 128.

"And Now as the flower show's its color! THE SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT WILL REVERBERATE!!!" Godric roared after he shoved the sword that was in his mouth into the ground. He was acknowledging the power brought before him. He stood tall and opened his arms. "I have another demonstration for you and your pet! See if your beauty can stave this one!" he responded as he prepared his next assault.

Leaving the comfort of his dome, Godric twice Shunshin'd toward Yuri coming 15 meters closer, her imposing weapon, and the mythical dragon. Subsequently the Clones too shunshin'd toward Yuri, mimicking the Vampires movements. This stadium'esk field but now crowded with his horde. "SING MY UNDERLINGS!!" he yelled out.

Thus he stomped the ground, so too did the 128 quasi real clones. In a combination of Distant Hit and Mastery of Two Layers. The result...(oh god so much math...)

(I'll factor in the disbelieve 60% yield)

Godric himself produced a shock-wave along the ground tearing it up. The distance traveled was 6 meters cone shaped toward Yuri and her company. The damage from Godric was 60ap while bypassing 17 hardness. A crater would be created underneath Yuri's spot. The impact crater would be 13 meters across.

But simultaneously the 128 clones did the same. 128 clones stomping their feet. And as if the earth itself opened up, the cone and crater alone would be terraforming this playground. If all clone's attacks were to hit, it would be a total of 4,608ap. Each individual clone bypassing 17 hardness, each individual producing 36ap of damage. But the terrifying part was the crater. Simply a crack in the earth, a gorge, an earthquake.

(I'll keep this open ended, feel free to describe the effects of the crater beyond what i have)

Each stomp could produce a crater 13 meters in diameter. There was a potential that this would not only be a crack in the earth, but a crater of massive proportions. Perhaps Godric himself would be caught up in the crater. Compound that much force 129 attacks producing a 13meter crater, at the same time. The earth at the very least would rumble. Perhaps the whole village would feel the aftershock.

"BEHOLD!! The Dark hand of the Hyuuga!!!" Godric's Grand entry to the village hidden in grass..

[DJ Loki]

As the energy faded Yuri finished her hand seals and as she did so a field of flowers emerged in the desolate area that she herself had just created. The field of flowers extended some 100m radius. Though she would not have time to admire the new battlefield, as Godric was on the move. As he appeared in front of her she could see the copies of himself appear at as. However, there was only one she needed to concern herself with at the moment. as he appeared in front of her, she charged forward herself. His distance strike and the strike of his clones where a cone of attack so their area became tigther the close one got to their body.

As Yuri closed more than half the distance with one smooth stride of her Air Trecks, Godric's attack would still set off, as Yuri placed her weapon into her mouth. What came next might shock the Old Hyuuga, Yuri appeared out of the shockwave caused by Godric, completely unharmed, as if his attack had some how missed her completely. He could see the Y'la spirit, as it hung over head and it's chains seemingly moving the shockwave around Yuri Clearing a path, for her. Yuri did not stop as with her second stride as was right on her large target, and with her hands free, she delivered 6 lightning fast Jyuuken strikes to Godrics left arm.

While still maintaining her forward momentum, her ATs revved and she went into a spin, that spin brought the large Blade in her mouth across his back, before she shot out like a cannon skating backwards. With a smile on her face. The Air Treck were the ultimate tool for free spirits, they where designed to grind the very air itself, it did not matter what the terrain was, the Air Treck could navigate it easily. Flower petals fluttered off into the air, as she crazed a path through the flowers, leaving a crater in her wake, where Godric had attacked.

At the rate she was moving she covered 30 meters in a few strides as she removed the sword from her mouth saying, "Behold the Cursed Princess... The Hyuuga's Living Flower.... ehehehehehe... that's fun." Yuri said playfully as she tried her own hand at making grand announcements about herself. She then sent out a single swiping kick, as she took a sharp right, as she continued to kick up Flower Petals as she moved. From this kicked a fang of compressed air shot out from her feet, it attacked an 80m cone line of slashing wind and would deal 140ap of damage. Such a powerful strike was causally thrown at by the Kusakage, as just a means of set up.

[Draven]

The counter-attack came swiftly. Godric was almost caught unaware, save for the Byakugan image coming at him. (Curse)Jashin's False Embrace, Godric took the beating to the arm. Every hit tearing up chakra points. The nerves be paralyzed and he clutch his arm... Or so the image of him had shown(DC26 I know prolly easy save anyway. feel free to auto save)

But Godric knew this ploy will fail, even the invisible shroud that was placed over the true Godric will be seen through. It was one Hyuuga to another after all, he knew the strength of the Byakugan. No Godric pulled back, half a step... A full step. No he pulled back again shifting his weight with each strike aimed for him. He dodge the good old fashion way, his torso bending back words, his feet recovering underneath only to shift weight again, bend his torso another twenty degrees or so. Six times he did this.

With a final action Godric Shunshined back 5 meters, just out of reach. He was smiling, almost giddy, "Yes! I am enjoying this immensely as well!" he responded. Thus he took a hold of his multi weapon holster with his left hand. As he did this so too did the 128 clones. With a flick the holster was thrust upward and the 17 katanas each leapt from the case. As well as the clones katanas. All Katanas launched 15 meters high, each were going to land in a 20 by 20 meter area. The ground was about to be littered with Katanas

As he did this Yuri went into a spin. Letting go of the Holster, Godric released the sword in his right as both his hands clapped together... At the exact moment. He attempted to catch the naked blade of the Tetsaiga. If there was any residual damage like lightning on the blade, Godric had a 47 damage reduction, and if it were chakra related, add an extrea 27. Furthermore he had a whopping 355 defense points should damage get through.

But alas rather than capitalizing on this moment it was time to move. Releasing the blade Godric was positioned so that the katanas were just hitting the earth in a rain like fashion. But he was caught by surprise by Yuri's compressed air shot. He crossed his arms as he took the damage full on. Absorbing the first 47, he took 93, leaving 262 points left. It stung but nothing serious.

No it was Finally Godric's turn. And Godric was quick. An air Shunshin, Godric preformed Inkaten. keeping pace with The Cursed Princess, and landed 30 meters from her on top of one of the Katanas. They where dotted everywhere, and instruct as he stood on the handle of one of the blades stuck in the earth "Pay close attention!"

At this point the clones were doing the same, in fact some were deviating from the original. Some swept their legs, grabbed up nearby Katana and threw it toward Godric. It was a literal Storm of swords, as Godric himself started his next assault.

Godric started off with Shunshin. From one blade to the next. First ending up 10 meters in front of Yuri, then arcing around her. From blade to blade. The Clones targeting him, adding the the sheer number of blades around this area. Furthermore, many blades hanging in the air falling as the Clones arced their aim upwards so that a rain of blades fell. The katanas from the illusions were weakened due to their quasi real state. Should one hit, from being rained down, they only produced 6ap of damage.

As Godric Shunshined from blade handle to blade handle, he left an afterimage, an image on himself that hangs for just a moment. On in front of Yuri, one to each of her sides, and one behind her. As Godric completed the circle, he did a final Shunshin Inkaten at a 45 degree angle, above Yuri.

With so many katanas around him, he went to work mid air. He was catching handle blades left and right and throwing them right toward Yuri's location. From this spot it only took one movement to swipe up three blades in each hand and toss them at Yuri. Each movement yielding 6 thrown katanas. (ganna assume he is grabbing quasi real katanas at this point). He did this 5 times before starting to arc down toward Yuri.

(Each katana doing 52ap. Then there is 30 katanas thrown @ Yuri)

At this point Godric grabbed up 3 of the katanas, one in his mouth and one in each hand, and as he got within 3 meter reach of Yuri from above. His reach with his size and blades. He preformed the Ox Brave Hoof Santoryu technique. Each blade pointed at Yuri as the Vampire came crashing down. Should the strike make any contact, the damage reached to 266 +6(should it be taken fully)

[DJ Loki]

The dance between the two Hyuuga was just getting started, and Yuri was happy to have a competent dance partner, other than Vlad. The Dark had was a sturdy bastard it seemed. Unless she had purpose in her sword swing even with Gilly, then the strike wasn't going to be doing much of anything, even with the sword pressure and enhanced strength. Yuri stayed on the move as she saw through the genjutsu that he had casted, even after all that Chakra he wasted he still had some to stare it seemed, those annoying fakes didn't seem to be disappearing anytime soon either.

As the rain of sword began to fill the area and began to weave around any of them they might fall on her, Her Byakugan alerting her to the falling threats. As she moved gracefully through the field of flowers she was kicking up more and more petals. She made seals with her left and finished when Godric vanished with a Shunshin. When he re appeared standing on one of his sword, he would find another sword in Yuri's hand. This one composed of the flower petals that would kicked up during their movements. "Hmm..." Is all Yuri said as she heard Godric tell her to pay attention. Her head titled to the side as she stood there and Watched him set the stage for whatever he was going to do next.

Her hed never turned as her Byakugan kept him in her sights. She soon saw what he was doing and said, "Oh I get it... you're doing that same thing I do... Eh... my way's better." As Godric set up the last of his blades before he shunshin above her, the sword Yuri was holding dropped to the ground. As it hit it burst into petals, and the entire Field of flowers she had created follow suit. Each flower exploded into a rain of harmless petals. Yuri made a one handed tiger seal and as she did so, the Flower petals swarmed around her creating a dome of petals as the first volley of Blades came her way the dome of petal began to spin as the sounds of her ATs Revved. The Blades bounced off the dome, of petals.

As the next set out volley's what was deflecting the swords became clear. The outter laying of petals burst away to reveal, 20 highly compressed flower blades, swirling around the spinning Yuri. These Floating blades stopped her from using any other Ninjutsu, but they moved when she did, a simple motion of her body, hands...fingers, and the blades responded in kind to her will. The storm of blades would not find an opening in the rapid spinning dome of blades. Yuri Byakugan eyes, stayed locked out as she twirled in the center of the dancing blades, her scarlet red hair peeking out from the dark hood she wore.

After his volley's were complete the vampire came rocketing down towards Yuri. who's spin came to an abrupt stop, not only would he be able to force his way through her Blades with that strike, but she wanted him to get close. While this technique stopped the use of Ninjutsu, as it was a constant drain on her chakra (C rank per round). She could still perform taijutsu. As Godric shot down, she got into a Hyuuga fighting stance, perhaps one Godric may have seen. As she got into her Wide stance the Blades took a que from her movements and parted like the red sea. Godric blow was true, but such details meant very little to Mr. Nette her Y'al spirit.

Once again his chain where the harbinger of misfortune, and Godric's Attack inexplicably missed the Young Hyuuga Princess altogether. Amidst the failed attack Godric felt his body stall out by a burst of force from Yuri, this was the sign of one of the Main Houses most powerful techniques. The Force emitted from her body stalled whatever physical movement he could have make in that moment, that along with her counter going in the midst of his miss left him wide open. Her AT's Revved as she began,

"2 palms" The first to strikes hit, and left without Yuri's hands even looking as if they had moved from their position. "4 Palms" a voice whispered from behind Godric, as she her ATs had her literally running circles around the older Hyuuga. "8... 16" Yuri seemed to flutter in and out of existence, as she attacked with frightening speed within the zone of her 8 trigrams. the strikes at his Chakra points were not the only problem, as Yuri moved about Godric striking at him, her Flower Blades followed her every movement, making slashes at the Vampire as the 20 Blades rushed back and forth as Yuri continued her onslaught. This also made it nearly impossible to escape once the onslaught began, as there were floating flowers swords not only slashing as she moved but blocking off every possible escape route.

"32...64." She continued to whisper as the maddening assault continued. What was a feverish onslaugth withing the 8 trigram, the world around seemed to crawl to a stop. The inhuman speed at which she was delivering the attack with the help of her ATs, was a sight to see, if the eye could follow. He Jyuuken still was largerly self taught based of teaching she remembered from her father, so her style of movement was unorthodox but not inferior to the traditional motions of the Hyuuga. While the traditional looked more ridged and firm she danced like a leaf on the air, she was fluid, and graceful. She left the scent of Flower and blood in her wake.

"8 trigrams 128 palms..." She said calming as she finished with a palm thrust to Godric's abdomen. After sending the blow, she would comment. "I think that's enough... for now." What she had just done would have been enough to kill most others but she was sure that the Dark Hand could survive such an assault if the stories were true and he was who he said he was. Yuri would stand there before with Chibi Gilly, and Mr. Nette floating on either side of her. Her Flower Swords still floating there around her, ready for battle.

[Draven]

Godric landed... His attack missed, he would in a way be subject to a counter attack. Worse yet his movements slowed. Instinctual his soul would launch out behind him...Yet it was slow. The soul shunt impeded due to Godric's distraction...

The feeling of life welled up inside him. Like a flash his body became real again. The pain he was suffering was... Real. Every strike upon his body, landing. A blur in his vision the princess streamed past, but his Byakugan could keep up. It could witness the dance...

The dance of the Main House. Always done in secrecy, he had never witnessed. He was charged with dealings with rogue Branch members. They would have never known this secret art. This beauty of, not death, but something else. His chakra points were becoming sealed...

In Awe he could only let it happen, his Soul still not to where he needed to be, but it was already doom for Godric, feeling his mentality slip from his mind. But no, he will witness this! He thought to himself as he steeled his mind.

The flower petals around him, the mass chaos of the ground under feet. The destruction he had poured into the land, yet life still growing even upon the rubble. This was Kusagakure. The Cursed Princess at its wheel. Godric murmured as he was pelted with the gentle fists, "The Blessed Princess..."

Godric's life was fading, the palms striking him. His consciousness fading, the fists shutting his system down. He was to die this day... When a blow thrust upon him by the blessed one, he would feel his heart stop. The palm directly placed upon his chest, his Achilles heal. His soft spot. The skin above this portion translucent, the glow of red blood pulsing through... His shirt would stain with the crimson color.

He was to die this day...

He stood as if upon death door. His head slumped downward, his arms falling to his sides, Katanas drifting to the ground as the assault continued. Then the final strike to the abdomen. A pause from his body at it seemed to lifelessly stand...

"I think that's enough... for now." said Yuri...

Godric slumped down to the ground, his knees buckled. His head bent, the katanas as lifeless as his body. Thud, something echoing. Thud, thud, it was close. THUD THUD! Godric's heart pulsed, the chakra closure not enough. A strand of his life still yet clung to his being.

His eyes shot open, head reeled back, a deep gasp of a breath taken. He has not been in this state for many hundreds of years. The flow of blood such a shock to his system, the chakra rushing back in. It took him a while to recover.

Godric looked to the ground, all his clones had long been dissipated as the closure of his chakra had been shut. his breath labored. It took six minutes... Six minutes for Godric to fully recover his body, but his chakra...

Raising his eyes to Yuri, widened as if seen the reaper itself. The only thought on his mind came from a dark place. His chakra was cut off..."I beg thee, return my chakra..." he pleaded. Peering through strands of his long silvered hair, his White eyes still shown true. This must be how branch members felt, whom had that cursed seal forced upon them. But his love was not lost upon his bloodline, for he understood that Main house always got their way...

[DJ Loki]

As Godric laid their for 6 minutes recovering, Yuri stood there in silence as shee wanted, she played around with Gilly for a bit as she watched Mr. Netter looming over Godric. Yuri's clothing by this point had returned to normal, and her flower swords returned to petals on the ground that some would grow to flowers of their own. Yuri sat there in front of Godric and her usual grab. She smiled at him as he finally looked up. Her smile was a bright one, as she was now certain that he was exactly who he said he was. Only the Dark Hard could return on his own, from something like that.

"I always knew you were real." She said with a bright smile on her face, "No need to beg. I have no desire of stripping from you what is rightly yours. Yuri then made several quick jabs all over Godric's body that returned the Chakra flow to his body. "Might take while for you to feel yourself, but for you, probably won't take long at all... Here." Yuri then pulled out a Grass Head band and handed it to Godric. You are now a Ninja of Kusagakure. You are free to find yourself somewhere to stay, or you can stay at the Ikebana Estate with me if you want, there's plenty of rooms there."

Yuri then sat back down next to where Godric was laying and then looked up into the night sky. "What's you rank, in Stone? I'll need to make a note... if going off power, you seem to be somewhere between Houkou and Vlad... easily a Jounin." Yuri could feel that Godric was still a bit rusty from being where ever he was for so long, so what she saw today was just a taste, but even with just that, he be more than a useful addition to Grass.

[Draven]

Calm was returning to his being. He could feel his chakra slowly returning. Immune to exhaustion, he would indeed recover quickly. He let out a long breath as he stared. "It will take time to rebuild my life. I feel humbled with this offer. At first I may have too..." closing his eyes, he was simply taking it all in. It was like he was back at the mansion. The Main house may covet their position, but there is a reason why there were there. The Bloodline was stronger for it...

"As you know I am a former Tsuchikage, but before that I made it to Chuinnin. The Tsuchikage at the time and the current are too busy to give me my Jounin. But I do qualify..." Godric responded and mentioned his intentions. He looked around. The mess they made. It was actually astonishing. He wondered what the bill would be to clean this up. "Who is Houkou and Vlad..." he questioned, as one such as him is always on the lookout for rivals.

[DJ Loki]

"Hmm... we'll have to change that then. Well if you Qualify... hmmm." Yuri thought to herself for a moment as she thought about what she could do. There was a mission that she could send him on for a Jounin Exam. She nodded her head as she thought to herself. She then looked over at him again when he asked who Houkou and Vlad where, "Well you meet Houkou already. He was the guy that was at the embassy with me. A real sour puss that one. And Vlad... well." Yuri thought of the best way to describe him to Godric, "Well Vlad is my older cousin, on the Ikebana said. He was formerly the Jonin Commander, but currently works as the tower Secretary. He took the position, because the Ikebana elders wanted to make sure I stayed safe. Vlad volunteered, so it would be someone I actually trusted. He's the one who taught me everything about Ikebana techniques." Yuri frowned a bit before continuing,

"The Main House Hyuuga, the upper class of the Ikebana, both treat me like some fragile treasure, never want me to far out of their sight.... ergh... whatever... regardless, you'll meet Vlad when you go pick up you Jonin Exam mission tomorrow."

[Draven]

Nodding to the mention of Houkou, Godric was defnitly under that impression. A sour puss was one word one could use. But he has seen those kind before, pride is actually something he has trappings in as well. At the mentioning of Vlad, he took particular note in the connection there. He was her older cousin, connected in some way to the Hyuuga, so his thoughts were only of honoring this extended family.

Though, Godric narrowed his eyes as he heard the next comment. Her a fragile treasure, looking at her he noted, "You legitimately defeated the Dark hand of the Hyuuga. Back in my time, I was the only thing that could track down those whom they couldn't take care of. Purge this weak memory, and stand tall knowing this..." He encouraged in his own way. He took a step, he was not shaking. His katanas littered the ground. But the site was one of beauty rather than destruction. The rolling hill like debris caked with flowers and growth. It mite take some time finding all his weapons...

Thus Godric slashed at the ground with his katana... He had been defeated. He must purge his own weakness now...

Godric was angry. He had under preformed. His strength dulled in the light of the fight. He had flaws in his assaults, he felt weak. Thus white knuckling a katana in his hand he struck the ground. It left a mark, but it was a weak strike. He struck it again, out of anger. He was simply not strong enough. Waking up to this new age, he had noticed that many have become stronger, and he was being left in the dust and ash. But with a grim determination he struck the ground again. Looking upon this mark as if a wound to his own pride. It was shallow, he was weak."GRAAH!" he roared in anguish.

Taking the weapon in both hands he struck the ground again, slamming the weapon against the ground. His weapon was even weak, it was pathetic. He was a whelp, sure with vase options to attack, but they were underwhelming. Another strike to the ground this time he steeled his focus upon the strike. Focusing his anger in the strike. This time he noticed a change and the strike slammed the ground with a bit more force. Godric had progress. Simply working on his strike and focusing his anger mite do the trick. He also would find his arm became sore as the muscles strained against the strikes. Yes, he thought to himself. Back to basics...

Godric struck the ground again and again, each time putting more effort into it. Every few strikes he would pause and look at his progress. though minimal he would still strike the ground, roaring with each strike. His arms tight with the anger of his weakness, weakness that he must expunge from his body. Weakness was one step closer to death. He struck the ground in protest and anger.

Godric was angered. His rage barely self contained. If he did not have the mental will to sustain his composer he would simply go into a murderous rage. Godric slammed his katana into the ground. He slammed it over and over, not caring about the durability of his blade. Worthless is the katana with no power. Worse yet his equipment were rather underwhelming as well and this only angered him further. He was old, he was outdated, he was weak. Slamming his weapon into the ground once again, this was all fixable. Godric focused upon the spot on the ground. Claw like marks peppered where he stood as he gripped his blade. He slammed the ground with his katana once again.

Angered he would do this over and over again, in a fit of yelling and rage. He simply was not strong enough. This was starting to take effect on his body akin to strength training. The strain of his muscles screaming as he was putting his full weight and strength into the fight with the ground. The ultimate opponent, to shake the earth with his strike, to mundanely destroy that which sustains life. This was his cause, this was his calling. He was to destroy this patch of earth with all his will. Another strike to the ground, the ground giving little by little, but the vitality of this ball of dust showing unyielding strength. Godric stood there for a time focusing upon this spot.

Like a stain in his history, he was weak, like a wretch to his psyche he was weak. He was angered and focused upon this spot. He imagined the strike, he welled up anger, he pushed past his own short comings, as he took the time to focus upon this spot. His knuckles glowing red with his anger as he focused. A spring and a coil, he positioned his body and took in deep breaths. With each breath his mind focused and anger channeled into the blade. It shall be an extension of his body and he slammed it against the ground once again.

He was angered and he didn't know how to resolve it. The katana still stuck in the dirt from his last strike, his eyes closed. Godric was in morning to his past glory. It was a burning at the stake, he was being crushed by his own weakness. He opened his eyes. The katana embedded into the ground. This was progress. His muscles felt sore as he seen that he had some strength yet to give. More so he felt it was growing as he developed his form. Yes, to knock the dust away, to sharpen his ability. Godric pulled out the katana and raised it aboce his head. He slowed his breathing and focused upon the spot.

He took time to imagine his strike, felt the blade as an extension of his person. Godric felt the anger well up and inflate with every slow breath he took. Godric could feel his body coil like a spring ready to strike. Like a viper aiming for it's pray. Godric slammed the ground with his katana and the handle shook. Once again it embedded into the ground, once again the strike was true to form. Godric could feel a sense of relief as at least he could work on his weakness, he was not some dead and buried relic of the past. No he was still alive, he was still breathing, he would return to his former glory. Godric raised his katana.

His target. He would focus upon it, once again breathing slowly, studying his targe, focusing his mind. The sword was his body, his anger his tool. He would imagine the point at which he struck was the worst enemy he could imagine. He imagined himself weak, old, feeble, dumb. He imagined something that utterly sickened him and he would imagine his sword passing through it. This welled up even more anger, and he channeled the emotion. Striking the ground.

Godric hit the ground with his katana. It embedded into the ground and a slight crater formed. The dirt loosened form the strike. His knuckles but white upon the handle as he seen his progress. Another success. Yet it still felt underwhelming. He raised the katana up over his head once again. This time he focused his mind in many of the same ways he had before. He felt his body tense up as it was starting to get use to striking with power once again. He felt his body starting to spin up it's strength, the anger only needing to be called without the imaginings. At this point he knew what he hated, he knew what he wanted, and he knew what was going to happen.

But this all must happen sooner, his focus must be keener, his form sharper. He calmed his mind as he let the storm brew. He focused this storm into his arms, into his body, into the handle of the sword, into the blade of the weapon. He was a predator ready to pounce, studying his target, his prey. He was readying his strike taking the time to focus on the strike. Every once of reasoning and focus only was going to attribute to the strike. Every moment he could take he took to improve his resolve. Every tool he had he was making use of as he focused upon how he was going to strike.

He felt his muscle tense, wrapping upon the thoughts of his anger. He would calm his body not letting anything enter besides the thought to strike. The wind would breeze easily but he would focus his mind, ignoring anything else. The strike coming almost like a count down. This was going to be the destruction of his target. That was his only goal as the storm within him was unleashed upon the ground. Dust and debris kicked up. The katana nearly snapping from the force. His body hot with the energy unleashed. This was a good strike and he felt it.

This was not enough, this had to be the way he struck. Godric struck again, taking less time this way. But it was not correct, the divot was not large enoughs. He had to replicate his strike first. which he did, holding the blade up and welling up the focus to strike against the ground. He imagined what he needed to imagine, the emotions welled up inside of him. He breathed slowly and overall took his time to strike. The strength of the strike was true and it slammed down on the ground. The effect was what he was hoping for and he reset the strike. Holding it up once again, conjuring the tools needed to hit the ground hard and down came the Katana. Once again the strike was strong and true.

Thus down to the age old version of practice practice practice. Over and over Godric preformed this strike. First it was consistency now it was simple brute force practice. His muscle memory and even his strength was improving with each strike. He was to commit this to his thoughts, and then make it instinctual. This was to be another extension of his body. This was going to be another tool in his tool box as his speed at which he could do this slowing increased. Again and again the ground would yield to his strike as he forced his blade upon it. He would feel the cry of his weapon as he strained against it's structure. The earth showing it's pain as it gave way.

Again and again, Godric could feel the anger well up about weakness, and flaws. Again and again he felt his muscles strain against the might of his blows. He was starting to perspire and the exercise was not wasted upon his body as it was slowly building the muscle. He was indeed becoming faster as large chunks of earth fly up into the air, he could feel his body attuning to this technique. He could feel with every strike he was preforming increase his ability. Soon this would be battle ready, just one more strike, just one more lashing out of his anger...

Godric switch gears a bit. He was remembering a time when he was in his lab back in Iwagakure. His lab, it was neat, and perfect. Mostly because he had never used it. But no he remember he was just playing around with the DNA replicator. He was starting to identify something. He noticed that he could separate the different flavors of blood. Like there was some that tasted different and he was seeing why that was. He knows nothing of alchemy but he was trying to do different things to create a result. Of course he first tried boiling the blood. The taste was, well tasted cooked, almost burnt. The blood then separated afterward.

Each portion of the separated blood tasted differently though. There was a sweet aspect to one of the portions. He would imagine this is how an alchemist create some of their concoctions. Then there was a tube that lifted up and around. He wondered what that was for at first, but thinking about it and seeing the bottle from which you boil things, he thought that this could condense the steam created from boil. So this is what he tried next. Replicating more blood he placed it into the bottle and started boiling. Placing the tube over the bottle that raised up over an arce, then starting the burner.

The Substance started to boil, and watched as steam went through the tube. The tube became foggy and at the other end, a drip started to occur. Frantically Godric looked for another bottle and put the end of the tube in. The drip started to collect inside this new vessel. He watched as he wondered what it was going to taste like. He watched the other side as the blood boiled and the color was changing. This was something he did not notice before, but perhaps there was something going on when the fluid was being heated like this. Obviously something was being subtracted, and he was collecting it on the other side.

Switching to another interest, Godric hasn't used his Glamour in a while. Placing a mantel of chakra over him he remembered, back in his castle that he tried to trick Igor once. He would make himself like like his Secretary Lillian. Godric crept by Igor, and instantly Igor greeted him as if he didn't even have the disguise on. "How do you do that" Godric asked, and in response Igor told him his chakra was showing. Godric looked around in a huff and left. But he still tried hours later, he did the same thing except as a burglar. But this time he tried to manipulate his chakra so that it would be different.

Creeping around he tried to find Igor. In the kitchen this time. Godric walked in as the burglar. Igor reacted quickly at first with a sharp yell, though he let out a sigh pretty quickly. Godric almost got him this time, but Igor wagged his finger at him. No luck this time. Godric waited a whole day before he went back for another try. This time he changed himself as a small child selling cookies. Of course he changed his chakra once again, but he was wondering how Igor found him last time. It must have been how he walked or the noises he was producing. He had to make this disguise even better and he thought to himself.

Though he could simply walk differently, he could just manipulate the Glamour shroud a bit better. The noises he produced, the way it holds itself, the way it smells, hell even the way it tastes for some reason. The clothing would have tactile feeling as well. The only thing he had to keep an eye on was when he interacted. Being careful to lift things or move things as if he were three feet smaller. This was the trick. Thus he went to Igor and seen if he could trick him. coming to the door of his castle, he would knock. Igor answered and he said "Would you like to buy some cookies...."
