A few days after Masar had truly settled into the village hidden among the sand, he had agreed to go with a group of other genin to improve his own abilities. While he had grown much since his initial stumblings in Kumo, Masar still had a long way before he could consider himself capable. Arriving at the square on the outskirts of the village, Masar took a quick glance around at his peers. They were a motley group, consisting of taijustu specialists, a few Ration ninjas that had followed Shiki, and a few natural-born Sand ninjas. Masar listened as the instructor detailed the exercise.

The training consisted of one hour training periods with a partner, for a total of 3 sets. After each hour, the ninja could either keep their partner, or switch off. As the instructor warned about the danger of the exercise, Masar scanned the gathering, picking out a Sand Ninja at random. When they were told to find a partner, he walked over to the ninja, tapping him on the shoulder and jerking his head towards one of the practice areas. At the sound of the gong, Masar struck.

His foe began the engagement with a handful of senbons, thrown towards the Kyoudo in a haphazard wall. Masar snorted, raising an arm towards the metal projectiles. By changing the polarity of two of the needles, he disrupted the whole formation, creating a hole he easily ducked through. In return, the Kyoudo aimed and fired his lightning stream  technique, scorching the shoulder of the ninja. The Sand nin grunted with pain, retreating a few paces to reasses the duel.

Masar decided to take the advantage while he still had it, leaping at him with both of his practice wooden wakashi unsheathed! The Sand nin barely managed to avoid the brutal slash that would have likely knocked him clean out, desperately trying to gain some distance. Sadly, it was for naught. Masar might not have the speed of some of his compatriots, but he was still plenty fast for his level. He pursued his opponent viciously, preparing for another swipe!

Suddently, a jarring impact shook the ninjas wrist as some sort of projectile struck his weapon. Masar jerked his head to the left to see a copy of the Sand ninja, preparing to fire another earthen senbon. The Kyoudo rapidly began an opal shield wth his right hand. This was just in time, as three more projectiles struck the shield seconds afterward. The original ninja began a similar technique, forcing Masar to use his other sword as an opal shield as well.

Huddled in his shield of blurring wood, Masar’s mind raced to find a way out. The Opal Shield technique was already rapidly draining his stamina, and it wouldn’t be much longer before the technique began to fail. He needed a way to get a long-ranged kill on the clone, and fast. If he could lessen the angles of attack, Masar was sure he could rengage to his strengths. Unfortunately, this was one of the ninjas primary weaknesses. He just didn’t have any way to reliably put down foes.

With as much speed as the ninja could muster, Masar leapt backward, disengaging from the kill box. He sheathed his swords, and began rapidly forming hand seals. It took a significant amount of concentration to do both at the same time, but the ninja managed it. Masar thrust his hands forward, releasing a swarm of electric spheres. The attack crashed against the sand and his clone, but it failed to do more then stun them briefly.

Growling with frusteration, Masar began another set of handsets, just barely managing to keep ahead of the constant attacks. He focused, trying his best to concentrate the lighting chakra into a single point. It was analogue to trying to heard a swarm of cats into a single room, the chakra just kept wanting to spread out. Through sheer force of will, Masar constrained the energy, raising his right hand, forming a small ball of chakra on the tip of his index finger. “Bang!” He said softly.

The compresses chakra shot forth with a crackle, shattering an incoming senbon with ease. The attack was quick, and before his foe could react, it crashed into the clone’s head. The clone dispersed into a cloud of dust, as the damage was too much for the construct. The ninja stopped firing, glancing at his fallen comrade. Masar wipes his brow, that had been too close.

The Sand ninja was a wily one, always one step ahead of Masar. Their duel had advanced a tad past what the instructors had expected and the pair danced circles around their "peers", often using the student's constructs as shields or footholds in their pursuit. Masar deflected the latest kunai with a grimace. He had not trained with his bloodlimit in months, and he could already feel the strain. He had perhaps 30 seconds left before it failed, tops.

Thankfully the ninja had another recourse: the Opal Shield technique. Exhausting and mentally taxing for sure, but very effective in it's own right. It was the last move he had learned from the old swords master back in Cloud, and it had saved his skin already in this fight. His wakashi singing, Masar ruptured some earthen projectiles, then moved to engage. Hopefully this next exchange would be the deciding one.

His unhindered approach surprised his foe, and the ninja desperately tried gaining some distance. But he was too slow. The swirling wooden wakashi smashed downwards, in a move that would have ended him. But the only thing they contacted was a wooden plank, which was sent spinning from the force. Damn, he used the substitution technique! Masar thought, before turning once more

Second D rank training:

Kyoudo Keiko (Intensity Training)
[30% charge per second]
Rank: D, C, B
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Training Method
Effect: Allows the user the capability of more quickly manipulating the charges in an object so that they become polarized at a greater rate.
Special: ---
Drawback: The training of these techniques are unaffected by difficulty class.
Description: A training method designed to be used in conjunction with Sutatikku Nagare, this ability allows the user the capability of manipulating charges at a faster rate in order to more quickly polarize an object. The percentile rates work in a manner of seconds, meaning that if the user has not learned this ability, they can manipulate the number of charges in an object by 10% of total polarization in one second. In order to completely manipulate an object of the user's choice they must have 100% polarized it. This means that unlearned, it will normally take a Kyoudo ten seconds to get control over one object and for every time they learn this it will take one less second.
D Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. Must be learned three times before the user is capable of learning the C Rank version.
x1
C Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. Must be learned three times before the user is capable of learning the B Rank version.
B Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. May only be learned three times, which puts the user at 100%.
Limit: Must know Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current).

As the first hour drew to a close, Masar was running hot. His very cells danced with chakra, and the continuous renewal of his bloodlimit made him feel more in tune with magnetic impulses then ever before. This did not eliminate the fact that the battle continued to heat up. The Sand ninja had discarded his evasive tactics in favor of a more….direct approach. Masar's arm continued to tire as he deflected the umpteenth sickle strike, wincing as it slid by his face.

An upside of constantly deflecting metal attacks was that it gave him plenty of practice in manipulating charges. Masar waved a hand, charging the two sickle blades with similar charges. The two metal blades clashed together, the chains creating a cascade of sparks as they collided. He even attempted to bind them to a metal peg in the floor. However, he simply wasn't fast enough.

The Sand ninja began his strange spinning attack once more, nearly knocking the ninja clean out. Masar's sword clashed against one of the blades, while his bloodlimit repelled the other. He changed the charge to be the same as a metal pole. The chain sickle wrapped itself around the pole, jerking the ninja off his feet. Masar twirled on his heel, slamming the hilt of his sword into the face of his foe, ending the fight.

Eijiu had officially left his home that morning to meet up with a few genin in the training are for a meeting. He had recently graduated and this was his first act of a genin. He had arrived first with an eager excitement for knowledge. He had not met this genin before but the only thing he knew  was that the assistant of the Kage had ordered for them to meet as this would be a great starting position as a shinobi. 

His first action upon arrival was to view the area. His feet dragged in the sand and his hues scanned the vicinity. He did not know who this figure was that he was unsure of who he was meeting. However the assistant reassured him this young man was important and their meeting was needed. After all that was why Eijiu was here. 

He took a seat placing his fingers into the warm sand as he stayed silent and let his mind roam. He clenched his fists in the sand. He was looking for his place of concentration. Alot of people had different ideas of concentration. However he took a seat to find his. Then he listened for the young man's arrival.

The round had finally ended, and Masar couldn't be more relieved. It had started to get pretty hectic there toward the end, and he wasn't sure how much longer he could have lasted against such a worthy foe. "Good fight my friend! See you around!" He called to the Sand ninja, Aksat. The other raised a weary hand in turn, moving towards the benches. Masar took a swig out of his canteen, eyes roving the other participants.

One short training session had improved his abilities by a good amount, allowing him to master new techniques and strengthen old ones. For his next opponent, he would need someone that could push him even farther! One, in particular, caught his eye. He was a newcomer, arriving on the edges of the group and seemingly beginning to work on his sand manipulation. Masar walked over to him, curious.

"Hello there! My name is Masar, yours?" He questioned. "If you don't mind, I need a training partner and you seem like a decent choice. How about it?" He asked, tilting his head. Perhaps exposing himself to more odd nature releases would allow him to become more adaptable in the oncoming chunnin exam.

+12 tp to both of you.

[Eijiu Inuzuka]

"The names Eijiu, Eijiu Inuzuka. I offically became a genin today." He extends a hand as he bows. He held a smile as he held the bow. "I would love to be your training partner sir." He nods in response. " Where shall we train?

He loved the idea of training with some one he had not met even if it was his first day. "Can I ask you a question though?" He taped his chin mustering how to ask the question correctly. "did the Kazekage's assistant send you? When I got information from him about some one meeting me here I was just curious?" He nods once more reassuring his question made sense.

He rose from the sand." well Masar where ever you decide shall we go and hurry before it gets dark." He dusted his clothes off and stretched. He wiped the sweat from his brow as he walked towards the gate. "where ever you wanna go we need to hurry before we waste time it is urgent for us to be at our best for the village." He walked through the gate waiting for masar.

[Masar]

Masar nodded to the boy, slightly amused. "Let's go then!" He said, following the ninja.
