The Senri Lighting Dojo

THIS THREAD IS DEATH ENABLED! JOINING THIS THREAD IS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CONDITION. ALL "REAL" COMBAT MUST BE HANDLED BY A BM. TO DECLARE COMBAT ONE MUST FORMALLY ANNOUNCE THEY ARE FIGHTING WITH INTENT TO HARM AND NOTIFY A BATTLE MODERATOR.

Location and background:

On the shores of the warm humid waters on the Island of Fang lies the Senri Lightning Dojo. The Dojo is an ornate multiple room facility made specifically by Kyoudo Shiki Senri to help other kyoudo and lightning users develop their skills and abilities under his tutelage. Accepting ninja and non ninja alike the Dojo will open its doors to anyone willing to learn. This dojo with few exceptions was built in the exact same likeness as the Senri Lightning Dojo. 

The building boasts a perfected smithy, Perfected alchemy station, Perfected workshop, lodging quarters and bathrooms for students who wish to live in the Dojo. There are servants who cook and clean and work to keep the massive compound usable by the students. The whole compound was built to be as close to the sky as possible to allow the students easy access to the storm clouds above. While living in the Dojo is not a requirement many choose to in order to focus on their studies. 

Surrounding the dojo, massive castle walls adorned by guard posts and sentry towers and snipers nests, the dojo itself is a literal fortress. Towering castle turrets shot up over the horizon keeping a watchful eye on the bay. Towering light houses and watch towers protect the dry dock and help call ships in to the surrounding area. Deep blue banners with sigils of a direwolf and a raven hung from the castle walls. Large spires stretched out to the sky past the cloud line revealing the skies and heavens with no fear of acclimate weather. A waterfall poured from the top of the mountain through a channel into the ocean below. 



The Entrance to the dojo



To get to the inner courtyard of the dojo there is a pathway that one must walk to get to front door of the dojo. The steps are mostly ceremonial in nature and first year students are forbidden from entering or leaving the dojo except through the steps. Those that have earned their place may use one of the many pulley systems to pull themselves up the cliff face into the dojo itself. Supplies are brought up this way too or it would simply be unfeasible. Supplies are mostly also brought in via the massive dry dock. 

After a new student successfully finds themselves at the top of the stairs they would eventually end up facing a massive dark iron door that was engraved with ornate runes and depictions of lightning. In common language above the door there is a steel engraving that simply read "Return With Honor" on both sides of the arches leading into the courtyard. While the doors can be opened with some moderate force. Anyone that has the kyoudo blood limit of any rank could move the massive doors effortlessly. This leads to the courtyard. 

The Entrance Courtyard 

A large open and spacious area used mostly for training is also one of the main connector points to the rest of the dojo. From here there are several places you could go depending on your cardinal direction. Directly to your right or westword direction after about 60 meters would be three massive walls that could be moved to enter the Dojo Master's Quarters. If you headed east you would end up towards the individual and group training rooms that were constantly being utilized by students.

The Dojo Masters Quarters:

The Dojo masters quarters are strictly off limits for all students unless they are summoned to the office by his will. The path to the office is blocked and held shut by 4 heavy steel barricades that are roughly 1 meter thick and can only be lifted with the power of a very powerful Kyoudo blood limit. Although more brutish tactics might break the doors down it would take nothing less then two consecutive S ranks of damage to break the doors down each. 

(Kyoudo Blood Limit Requirements to open the door. Must be able to work on 15 meters, have the ability to overcome 50% of the targets field in a round and must be able to effect 5 items simultaneously.)

Behind the doors leads to the dojo masters office. It is a rather plain room yet richly decorated. Books, scrolls, parchment and vellum from several ages all stacked and stored neatly in piles and in book shelves. Dark wood wardrobes filled with furs, clothing and rare and powerful relics that the dojo master had procured over his life. Trophies from the monster hunters life and relics of his battles fought covered the room.

Training Rooms:
The Dojo contains 30 training rooms.
Three of the rooms are communal training rooms that can seat about 30 people.


The remaining four training rooms are private rooms for individuals or small groups to practice.



Teleportation rooms:

The Dojo Armory

---

The Dojo armory has many weapons that can be freely taken and stored for use. The Kyoudo drawing in their sword culture from the now all but extinct Sakurai clan. The dojo master has chosen to make the Itosen Blade the cultural weapon of the dojo. While training is not mandatory with the weapon it is highly encouraged and its mastery has become a status symbol. The Lightning Dojo's mission is to learn anything and everything about the nature of lightning. Honoring the clan that once held the title of masters of lightning the ceremonial Itosen blades are free for students of the dojo.

Strong hold components:

The construction of the Dojo took months. Movers, carpenters, craftsmen and wood workers managed and toiled in a frenzy of moving parts and intricate construction planning. The project was immense. Quarry men moving tons and tons of stone from the great mountains of the land of thunder directing mules laden with wagons full of stone to build sites. Craftsmen moving heavy yards of deep wood pulled from the surrounding forests. Artisans of all shapes styles and varieties labored away to make this jewel in the mountains.

The twins casually walked into the dojo - looking for a quiet place to relax and as always their first thought was the pond in the courtyard. They have been using that place for so long it simply felt like home. As they walked towards it they would scout around to see if other people were training outside at this time of the day. They were eager to continue training their venator's skills.

[Hamura]

After the gates to the training grounds, or rather the field of battle and observatory were closed rather abruptly, Hamura was somewhat uncertain as to what to do next. One second he was working on learning new stances, the next he was told that he had to leave along with the others currently present. As a newcomer to Port Porthos and the land of Fang, he had no idea whether it was because there was some kind of rule against training after a specific time or if it was simply something regarding the owner not wanting people to exercise in his building as opposed to fighting for the spectacle of it. Regardless, he was told that he'd have to take his business elsewhere, namely another Dojo similar to the one that had been in the Hidden Cloud, at least in name. When he approached the place, it seemed more like a fortress than it did a Dojo, though Hamura had learned quite some time ago that he should not be judging a book by its cover.

And so he made his entry, hoping he would not be getting into any trouble since Shiki and the twins were accompanying him there, the four of them entered into the new training grounds. As the gates opened and the interior of the place was shown, he couldn't help but think that it looked a lot more like an actual Dojo than the previous place they had just been evicted from. But again he reminded himself of the saying regarding the book and its cover. Shrugging a bit as he looked around, he figured Shiki would know the way and decided to primarily follow where he went so he would not be getting lost inside of this new place. Still carrying the same gear as before, he had made sure not to leave anything behind that he might still be needing. Luckily, he had packed light ever since he left the Hidden Cloud in the first place, so there wouldn't be all that much to forget in the first place.

"So now what, do we just continue where we left off before we got… well, evicted?"

While he was not one for asking stupid questions, he felt that the issue regarding their training being cut short deserved to at least be addressed before doing anything else. Convincing himself that there were not really any stupid questions as there were stupid answers, he decided to just stand around and wait for an answer to come from his current teacher. As pragmatic and blunt as he was, he did not really see any reason to dance around the issue, believing it best to just cut straight to the point at hand instead, even if it might make him come across as somewhat dense.

[Deleted]

Shiki entered the the dojo and smiled. Brick by brick. Stone by stone. Everything was exactly how it was in Kumogakure. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Instead of the cold mountain air instead he got the warm and heavy air of the sea. The smell of salty brine and the warm heavy moisture from the sea filled his nose instead. There was a change in density in the air. The location felt right but the air was so different. The calm stillness that normally filled the air was replaced by the warm sounds of lapping waves against a rocky shore. The call of gulls and sunshine were another drastic factor. 

To Hamura, the locations change was probably minimal. But to Shiki who spent most his life in a mirror image of this it was rather odd to say the least. "Hmm? Oh yes. Please. One more form and we can move onwards from here."

Kasumigakure no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Kasumigakure no Kamae , A stance that is completely different than that of all the others. The footing is different than any other stance, the posture is completely different as well. The user will start in the basic form where one leg would be further forward from the body of the user while the other leg would be along the back of the body. The user would turn sideways by keeping this same form, and slide the back leg further backwards. As the user does this the user takes the time to raise his arms up in a defensive manner as the blade of the sword is pointing upwards. The sword is slightly higher than that of the user's head as they hold one arm along the front end of the hilt, and the other hand holding the back end of the hilt.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin.

__________________________

Drawing his Tanto from its scabbard, he simply let it rest in the palm of his hand for a bit as he looked around, listening to what he was being told at the same time. Since he had never seen much of the building back in Kumogakure, it had not really registered that the place he was in now was remarkably similar to the Dojo back there. Figuring that this was just because the place had the same owner, the thought never really occurred to him that it might have actually been moved, which was why the place in the Cloud was such a ruin now.

Holding the blade as was shown, he slowly started getting more used to the whole thing. This wasn't just because of the training, but because everything he did was starting to jog his memories. He had been reading up on various sword styles back in the Cloud, as well as various other Taijutsu styles of unarmed combat. Thanks to this, he knew some of the names matching certain stances and techniques, or the thought behind them, sometimes even both. But now was not about his mind, it was about his body and having it keep up with him as best as possible.

Holding up his Tanto, he changed both his posture and his footing, moving one leg further from his body while keeping the other along the back. Turning both his body and his blade, he could already tell that this form was meant as a defensive one as the blade was not exactly held in a way that made it easy for him to strike. It did however feel like this stance would make it easier for him to use his full body to parry a strike coming down from above. Stepping into and out of the stance a couple of times to get a better feel of it, he would continue until he felt like enough was enough, at which point he'd get to the last bit of the training.

Muso no Kamae, Uranami no Kamae, Roppo Kuji no Kamae and Dato no Kamae
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Four basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Muso no Kamae , Uranami no Kamae , Roppo Kuji no Kamae , Dato no Kamae , This stance is four in one. Each one is slightly different in some sort of way, but the legging position, the position where their balance will stay pure will always be the exact same. What is used within this stance is for mostly attack style forms. Each stance is different in its own way as each is same in every way as well. The feet for all four stances are the same. The user's left leg, or right leg will be forward and the knee would be bent in almost a ninety degree form. The back leg will be placed far back, about a foot or two past the shoulder along the upper body. For Muso no Kamae their hands are upwards holding their sword as the forward arm that is the same as the leg as it is holding the end of the sword. The user holds the front end of the sword with the other arm. The sword is then pointing towards the back of the body as the blade is pointing upwards. The sword is rested gently against the bicep of the back arm as the user holds the sword carefully. For Uranami the user keeps the sword along their chest area as it is pointing backwards of the body. The sword is pointing downwards slightly as the upper body is slanted forward. The Roppo Kuji holds the sword the same way as the sword is more slanted almost touching the ground. The sword is pointing backwards as well, and the user keeps the blade downwards. The final position is the Dato no Kamae is slightly more different than that of the others. What occurs is that the user holds the sword up high in the air with the back arm as the arm is held straight backwards away from the body. The forward arm is shot forward in a straight form, as the user keeps this position having their leg and upper body in a straight form in a diagonal form.

___________________________

Since Shiki told him that he only had one final stance left to go, he felt relieved, relieved that he would be closer to actually learning a technique he could put to good use once the Chuunin exams were upon him. Knowing full well that there were going to be people that were his equals or surpassed him in either skill or due to being in the field longer, he could not afford to stand still for too long while taking his sweet time studying stances and doing nothing else. Still, he would do what needed to be done if it meant getting to learn any new techniques that might physically enrich his fighting style, and therefore his chances at winning.

Placing his right left leg forward, he put his right lack far to the back while maintaining the ninety degree form with his left knee. Holding his right hand just below the guard of his Tanto, his left hand was located at the base of the hilt, holding the blade in what he considered to be a rather peculiar position. Almost holding the sword over his shoulder, the blade was held horizontally with the cutting edge up and the dull side down. This was likely because it served no purpose to have the cutting side aimed down as a single strike on top of it would cause his own weapon to bury itself in his own flesh.

Next, he slanted his body forward a bit while changing how he held the blade, keeping the sword along his chest while pointing the blade itself downward towards the back of his body. Wasting no time, he got into the next stance from there, keeping the blade downwards to the point where it almost touched the Dojo floor. Finally, he would hold up the sword with one arm as the other was shifted forward a bit. Keeping the sword straight, the blade would remain pointed backward. It did not require a genius to figure out that this would allow one to strike down with quite a lot of force, even when using only one hand.

Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu

Their strikes were powerful, but were they deadly? Venators were known for their bane ability, so deadly and precise it enhanced one's strike designatedfor a specific , channelling the venator's hatred toward their enemies and imbuing their swords with it. If struck, their enemeis would find their defences to be useless against such technique. The twins had seen this skill in action many times and it was time for them to be the ones showing it to others.

Seeing it and learning it , however, were two completly separate matters. Much like learning and mastering it for the bane ability had plenty of room for further developement other than its basic version. As the twins created swords out of the ground, they would immediatly hold them with both hands enbtering a very basic taijutsu stance with their left foot forward and their right foot back slightly tilted to the side.

sword in front of them and their eyes closed the twins would try and shut everything but their swords out. As their mind drifted, sounds and feelings would slowly abandon their bodies and the only thing in their mind was their weapon and their hearts beating, resonating into it - spreading their chrakra throughout it so powerfully that it felt  almost as if it was overflowing.

Even though he would not show it, he was quite glad when the first actual technique was being presented to him. Watching closely to see how the technique was performed and listening to what it was meant to do, he nodded in approval. A hand-to-hand based technique that was capable of creating space between him and his opponent while having the potential of breaking bone on impact. When he had started training these skills, this was exactly the kind of thing he had been hoping he would learn, so in that regard, learning this single technique was already a good thing.

Simply wanting to implement Taijutsu into his fighting style for the purpose of making it easier to actually utilize Ninjutsu in battle, it felt like this was exactly the kind of thing he needed to incorporate into his arsenal of abilities. Regardless of how it sounded, he still had a few questions regarding his use of such techniques, based entirely on his lack of physical training aside from the stances he had just been studying and imprinting upon his mind. Still, he started performing the punch as it was shown to him.

Whether it was something his relatively untrained body would be capable or not was something he'd likely figure out a later point in time, though actually running through the technique would not be a bad idea. Determined to at the very least learn how it was executed, he would worry about how much force he could pack into his punch at a later time. Mostly since worrying about it during training would not help him at all, the best thing to do would be to just continue his training until he was ready for the next step.

Shiki looked over at his student and smiled. "Perfect form."
He commented before he grabbed a thread wire short sword from his training rack. "The first aspect of the sword saint you must learn is the art of courage." Shiki said as he tossed the ninja the sword. Shiki grabbed a small gem and tossed it across the room. "Arise!" Shiki commanded as his fortress gem would produce a 5 inch thick wall of pure steel. Shiki pulled his sword and in three fluid movements sent a triple cascade of wind slashes across the pathway against the steel wall. The wind blades would travel the 20 meter gap instantly and cut through the steel like it was paper. The slash would continue to carry for another 20 meters cutting into the stone wall behind it.

As their hearts's beat kept rising, so would the amount of chakra being infused in their swords - and as the infusion kept going a light purple aura begun to form around their weapons. it didnt look threatening nor would it feel powerful if touched. it simply showed that their bane ability was indeed active.

The twins were not very impressed with the look of their skill, however look is not everything and before judging their very first bane they would have to test it against something. Ofcourse their first choice was to fight against eachother as always. however as this was more of a test than anything they decided to keep the pace very slow.

Their objective was to improve their bane ability and not actually tro to best eachother. So as They both designed eachother as their target for the bane ability Caela would place herself with a more squared stance allowing her to better receive a hit. Lifting hr arms up and pointing the sword on one side she would be able to parry anything that came striking from above.

[Starnaess]

POST 2

After Caela nodded at her sister signaling that she was ready, a quick step forward followed by her sword rising up above her head , Calynn would strike down on her sister's sword with all her might causing the light purple auras to strike against eachother. The result was different than they had expected. The sisters smiled at eachother and proceeded to analyze what had just happened.

Both swords broke and neither of their bane ability prevaled onto the other - however, even with the sword now cut in half and having the sisters hold only onto the handle - they realized that the bane ability was still active. an interesting discovery for they would be able to save chakra instead of having to recast their ability over and over.

They decided to alternate eachother and repeat this process a couple of times to get the hang of what it felt to both strike and being struck by a bane ability. Not a pleasant feeling at all as the bane did indeed let out all of its power onto the opponent being struck attempting a t annhilating their defenses completly.

[Starnaess]

post 3
With their multiple attempts at testing their bane ability out they realizzed it was becoming stronger and stronger , and as its power capabilities rised so did the purple glow that was now emanating more and more brightly. This glow however, was only visible to eachother for some reason.

They did not know why, perhaps it was their affinity with eachother but as they asked the other trainees around the dojo if they noticed any difference in the color of their weapons - the answer was always "What color?" the twins didnt think much of that they liked this "perk" their bane ability had, it made them feel more unique.

Even though its power had been inceased, they knew that there was so much room for improvement, however physical training had its limits if the knowledge was lacking - and what better place to find knowledge than the dojo's library? as the twins took a break from their physical bane training they begun walking toward the main dojo room.

[Starnaess]

post 4

A very wide and tall room filled with plenty of mannequins on one side aswell as weapon racks, while onto the other tables and chairs where one could sit relax and think about whatever they wished. This however was ot their destination so they , as they waved toward the people they knew, begun to head toward the library.

The man sat at the countr was a man they had known since their first day in the cloud dojo - apparently , just like them, he had decided to side with their master and follow him onto the other side of the world - a choice the twins appreciated. As their eyes met they smiled and so did the man.

His name was unknown, for he had never told them nor did they bother to ask . for some reason it felt safer for them not to know his name. As they were about to ask for a couple of books the man had already s tacked a whole pile of them on top of the counter "These are for you i believe" The twins were slightly confused.

[Starnaess]

Post 5

They had never asked for books not to him nor to anyone else, so as they asked for an explanation the man simply laughed. "ive been watching you my dears - your training that is , you want to be a master venator dont you?" thw twins nodded as they appreciated the effort the man had put into finding those rare venator books without them asking him to.

"These are for you, feel freee to read them whenever u want - im sure they will be useful to you". As the twins's eyes lightened up for the excitement they split the books in half and carried them over to the tables. As they walked away however, they would turn around to say thank you.

As they did that however, the man would anticipate them and say "no need to thank me, just keep doing what you always do - that is already a thank you in my book". The twins were really curious about the past of that man that seemed to eager to help them for some reason , perhaps one day they will find out.

They had no idea where to start, for these books contained so much unknown knowledge that it didnt really matter where they started, they would still learn so much. However, after thinking over it for a while they decided to stic kwith their bane ability and improve it even further.The books, for some reason, had no title beside the venator simple on top of it so no clue about where they should start reading.

This finding process took them longer than expected however, as they went through some of the books plenty of images were shown next to the listed jutsus. Said images were quite detailed compared to the pictures they were used seeing in normal books. Some of them were picturing various weapons the venator used , while others detailed the effects of the jutsus on various creatures including humans.

Whoever it was that wrote those books put so much effort in describing every thing a venator can achieve that it felt almost scary to realize that if they trained hard enough they could do just what they were seeing in the pictures. The twins had always found knowledge to be one of their cravings - perhaps if was the way they were raised or perhaps something biological.
