The Lightning Petal Dojo

In the outskirts of Port Porthos sat a massive plot of unused land. The city itself was a ever glowing beacon of energy and activity. Bars were open all along the main strip of the city. Neon signs flashing the allure of wine, women and gambling checkered the strip. But at the far outskirts a newly purchased and renovated building now stood separate from the long row of buildings, bars and gambling halls. Here stood the Senri Lightning dojo. This building unlike the other buildings was made of a dark slate and stained oak that stood in stark contrast to the pine wood buildings along the strip. Standing about three stories tall this dojo was significantly less luxurious then the castle in Kumogakure.

But here someone could train with the same students of the fabled school in Kumogakure. In the center of the third floor was a small glowing portal that seemed to glimmer and glow. Under the right circumstances this portal would take someone to and from this location to the warp key location in Kumogakure. The dojo's foundation was set. It was just time to finish the construction. The carpenters moving in and out of the building were making sure that everything was being placed together perfectly.

The building was worn down but well maintained and cared for. Upon entrance through the red oak double doors someone would find themselves at the front desk looking at the main greeting area of the building.

- Snowflakes initial intro


This particular Dojo freshly renovated boasted a large amount of amenities. For the young Kyoudo and protege of Shiki known as Ryutatsu was unsatisfied with one building. Donating his own money with the help of Shiki purchased a few more buildings to make the Dojo something to admire.

Before one even got to the main three story building, that person had to cross over a drawbridge that provided passage over a Moat. One the inside of the moat was Dark Slate and Stained Oak wall built thick enough to walk upon. The sharpen stakes at the top of the wall was reminiscent of a castle outpost more than a dojo. Just on the Dojo's side of the moat across the drawbridge was a Portcullis to protect the students that practice here.

The walls and moat of the Lightning Petal Dojo, run by the young Ryutatsu Kyoudo, was in place to guard his students no matter who hunted them. For he had seen the ways that evil could twine in man's hearts in the form of Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters. He wanted those accepted into the school were safe no matter the trouble they ran from.

The thick gate made with a dark steel to disabuse the notion to use the gate against itself. A small guard post was built into it to check the identities and safety of the individuals that enter. Upon entering the grounds it gives way to an open space large enough for a battle arena where those that train here could hone their skills in combat. Against the wall to the east was a low squat barracks where students could stay as well as where the daytime staff had places to bed down. Further a Sauna has been attached to the barracks using the natural hot springs from underneath the dojo has been constructed for a cleansing area after a hard day's training.

Special: Hardness: 6; Armour Points/Inch: 10; Armour Class: -2
Gem Slot # 1: Empty; Gem Slot #2: Empty: Gem Slot #3: Empty
Drawback: ---
Description: A One-Handed Weapon. These weapons do +8 Amour Points of Damage. A longsword (also spelled long sword, long-sword) is a type of sword characterized as having a cruciform hilt with a grip for two handed use and a straight double-edged blade of around 100–122 cm (39–48 in). The longsword is characterised not so much by a longer blade, but by a longer grip, which indicates a weapon designed for 2-handed use or 1-handed use. These Bokken are Japanese wooden swords used for training. It is usually the size and shape of a katana, but is sometimes shaped like other swords, such as the wakizashi and tantō. Some ornamental bokken are decorated with mother-of-pearl work and elaborate carvings. While its use has several advantages over use of a live edged weapon, it can still be deadly, and any training with a bokken should be done with due care. Injuries occurring from bokken are very similar to those caused by clubs and similar battering weapons and include compound fractures, ruptured organs, and other such blunt force injuries. In some ways, a bokken can be more dangerous as the injuries caused are often unseen and inexperienced practitioners may underestimate the risk of harm. It is not a sparring weapon, but is intended to be used in kata and to acclimate the student to the feel of a real sword.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---

Limit: Must learn from a Master of Tensora (天空 Heavenly Sky), Must know Heaven Dragonfly: Defense/Sword Lock Stance.

Ryutatsu and his entire staff transferred to another dojo further outside Port Porthos. He was still around the outskirts but out this far there was less random locals and only those who were serious in education would journey. It was here Ryutatsu continued his tireless pursuit of perfection in the sword. It was the early levels yet again but it was a journey.

Ryutatsu was sparring against one of his instructors in the methods of Tensora and Killing sword techniques. For Ryutatsu while a master of the draw didn't have much in the way of normal sword movements. He needed to give himself a breath of knowledge instead of just depth. In this pursuit he was working on countering sword locks.

Normally Ryutatsu was a dodge master but not everything could be dodged. So here he was training up his blocking capabilities. He would block and lock their swords then break the lock and try again. It was a dance of danger as he practiced now with live blades to provide that extra edge. But Ryutatsu's blade was his own special Rose Thorn as an extra little thing to make the battle more lively.

Gentle Touch
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A chakra technique applied to weapons allowing the user to strike with heavy non-lethal Damage.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: All Gurus learn to master the art of the Gentle Touch, a mystical technique that involves with dealing non-lethal damage with focusing bursts of Chakra. By investing at least 1 point of Spring Time of Youth Points in this ability the user can charge a weapon granted by their Philosophy with a rarified form of Chakra Energy. All attacks made with that weapon deal additional damage equal to the user's Indomitable Fortitude, but all damage dealt by the user while this ability is active is non-lethal. A user can assign Spring Time of Youth Points to their Gentle Touch ability as Handseals equal to the Rank of this Jutsu. For every point of Spring Time of Youth Points invested in this ability, the Charged weapon deals an additional 4 Armour Points of Weapon Damage. This ability only works against living targets; undead and constructs are immune to its effects.
Limit: Must be a practitioner of The Eight Celestial Gates.

Ryutatsu's connection to his blades was becoming ever more prevalent. As he was exchanging blows with the instructor he was sparring with he was able to focus his chakra further. He was manipulating his chakra in interesting ways now for this wasn't Ninjutsu nor Genjutsu with the sword as the focus like some his other works.

No, he was using chakra enhanced Taijutsu to make his attacks hurt more but non lethal. It made perfect sense as he was using live blades though his was of Thorns and Vines. It was holding up superbly against the normal swords of the dojo. Only Ryutatsu's personal armory was of greater quality in these parts. But that quality was by far outweighing most.

Ryutatsu focused dearly on the multitasking he was doing. Not only was he fighting but he was changing his chakra into a rarified higher form. Ryutatsu did indeed inherit the Kyoudo talent for chakra manipulation with his fine balance of sword and chakra. His discipline was becoming a philosophy all on its own sometimes.

Kimi exited the boat and looked around. The land of Fang was small due to it being an island but that doesn’t mean it isn’t lively. Kimi asked around for Ryu’s dojo and after 30 minutes he found his way over there. On his way out of the village he bought a few items for training his hand speed and strength. First was two small but dense lumps of clay. Was going to try and mold the pieces of clay in each hand without looking or coordinating with either hand.

Kimi headed over to the dojo while molding the clay into different shapes. He started with his left hand and molded it into a basic circle. He hadn’t expected the resistance that the clay was giving him. It made molding the clay in his untrained hands very difficult to do. It took him almost five minutes to even get the basic shape right.

Kimi paused on his left hand as he switched to his right hand. He started to mold a star in his right, well more of a shurikan. This was a lot harder than the circle was for his left hand, but Kimi was right handed. Well that and the fact he had trained his left hand harder all day yesterday. He had molded the top part as he neared the entrance to the Dojo. Kimi walked up to the guards and spoke to them.

“Hello I am Kimimaru, I am here to see Ryu. He isn’t expecting me at all.” Kimi tried to smile a friendly smile at them.

Ryutatsu was continuing his fight against the instructor trying to get a better sense of their movements and abilities as Kimi entered the entry way. Brycen Wakelin took a look at Kimi's headband and general look and shrugged. "The young master allows any who want to learn in. So go on in, just know if you cause trouble you will be invited to leave. " The way Brycen said invited it meant in a forceful way.

Ryutatsu on the other hand was having a pretty even match against the instructor but that wasn't surprising as he was a master himself. The battle raged at a pretty intense speed but again those that know Ryutatsu knew that was how he fought. Ryutatsu was a live wire but had short shelf life for his fights. Fighting like he did often burned him out. It was why he continued to train and more so was learning to read people better.

If Ryutatsu could master that art of reading his opponent he could modulate himself better. Or that was what Ryutatsu and the instructor figured. In the actual art himself while he had room to learn it was more for breath rather than depth. In sensing the motives and maneuvers on the other hand he was slightly below average and fairly weak for the master he was suppose to be.

As Ryutatsu continued his bout something would be noticeble to Kimi as he walked up. Ryutatsu wasn't hurting as much as he should with the blows he was taking. And Ryutatsu was taking blows. But between his elaborate dodging and the his own phenomenal endurance it literally wasn't hurting him much. And as soon as something did hurt him a little he would heal it back up.

Ryutatsu somehow had learn secrets of being able to take a hit and take it well. It was something between tons of battle experience and his knowledge of alchemy. For Ryutatsu had began experimenting with various ointments and liniment to put on himself to speed up healing and to increase his endurance. Though very few could tell that, For Ryutatsu kept most of his alchemy a secret.

Even his lab was a secret placed below his forge. His forge that seemed to be magical in its own right. Ryutatsu while still young was becoming quite accomplished. This was what perseverance and dedication did it would seem. Maybe just a bit of talent where the sword was applied. Either Way Ryutatsu's battle was still very exciting to watch even though the point of it seem to be stalemate.

Ken Mai (Blade Dance)
Rank: E, C, B
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user becomes more graceful and agile, increasing their speed.
Special: --
Drawback: The user must train extensively to increase their speed.
Description: The user, through intensive training and study of the flow of the human body, learns to conserve and streamline their motions, making them faster and more efficient. As a result of this training, the user gains more graceful, faster motions and more efficient reflexes, allowing them to move and react faster than normal when wielding their weapon. This does not increase the speed of the ninja ad lib; it increases the speed and skill with which they can handle a weapon. A ninja may only learn up to their rank in this technique.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must Ryuuchou Koori (Flowing Ice).

Ryutatsu was getting faster and faster reflexes or so it seem. It wasn't that he was truly faster though, no he was just more efficient with his movements. He didn't need as much more room anymore to make critical movements. It was a fascinating training session to watch as he continued to push himself to almost inhuman levels of agility. Ryutatsu didn't even have to move his stance very often.

Ryutatsu blocked more often now than he use to but still dodging was a great part of his defense and offense. He moved with such skill it spoke to his specialization as a swordsman. Ryutatsu himself knew that this was actually not that impressive as he was way behind on this particular style. He was actually working on these movements to correct this fault he saw with himself.

Ryutatsu sparred with this instructor and changed up his movements so often that predicting was hard. But at the same time certain things were still true, like there was only so many points one could strike from. Battle Experience and life as a swordsman has made it, where Ryutatsu can read movement to any striking point. This made dodging so much easier.

Ryutatsu's exchange of swords was only secondary to the exchange of information the body was giving. Something that Ryutatsu was trying to correct was how he read the movements of his opponent to get a good read of them. It was an involved process that took experience and time. But he was doing his best to train himself anyways to catch up with his actual skill of the blade. For he was failing in that part of the skill almost as much as he succeeded with the speed aspect.

Ryutatsu's fights were generally intense but this one seemed to be picking up steam. He was using his skills and reading body language to gain an advantage in his speed. For this instructor matched him very evenly indeed. This wasn't to unlike his spar with Zuruel of Mo. But there it got out of hand very quickly as each went to new heights to outdo each other. Ryutatsu on the other hand here was keeping a level head to keep the fight going, straining his endurance.

Ryutatsu's education was in the practical application of sensing the intent of someone by reading them. That intent would be telegraph by micro expressions in the face and demeanor of the body. Not only that Ryutatsu was starting to able to predict certain movements by watching the bunching of muscles in the arms and more importantly in the chest and along the shoulders. These and other small details was improving his understanding of reading a person.
