"Hm yes?" Krystal responded back to Kahimi smirking as she hurled the massive chunk of earth across the tundra away from the group smirking as it tumbled and crashed like a giant cannonball. As it skidded to a halt a ways away the neko grinned and sighed releasing the gate but keeping a mental and physical dot on where the gate activated. as she turned back to see the black and white pattern on the ground, a giggle escaped her as she played with the earth making each square raise or lower until the checkerboard looked abstract.

Once she was done she raised her legs into a meditative pose that both of her companions would probably be shocked to see her in as her hands clasped together into a seal that was foreign, not a shinobi mudra but a way for her to focus as she felt her chakra and focused on her gates. She began to rapidly circulate her chakra until she felt the same high in her nerves and then quickly focused it through her gates aiming straight for that place that made the Sixth Gate open and felt the tingle along her forehead as her skin began to radiate a thin indigo aura and her hair was dyed a bluer tone of purple again.

The pop of the gate however displaced some of the snow around her as her chakra opened causing the storm to swirl around her but away as another cyclone formed around her, more obvious with the whiteout already twisting through the air as her skin was covered in diamond dust. As her indigo eyes slowly opened she took note that she had managed to directly open the gate and giggled to herself noting that their other companion had disappaered making the neko shrug before looking at each of them her eyes settling on Seki for a moment. "Hm, so since Kahimi does ice stuff what do you do sir?"

As planned Kahimi successfully got the attention she wanted from Sekitan. Even if only briefly she enjoyed that time of validation. A moment where she was assured to be bringing forth meaningful progress. For a few seconds Lady Kahimi was actually cracking a genuine smile as well. Although that show of appreciate quickly faded as she didn't want to derail herself, as well as her natural instincts to suppress herself kicking in. Of course it wouldn't remain that hidden as Krystal was still around to pick away at the ice cold layer that is cast around Kahimi and her demeanor.

That naturally vague yet playful response from the feline amazon, doubled by her carefree show of strength was always amusing to the Yukikage. However she couldn't let herself be too entertained by such things for long. The momentum on getting this tedious jutsu learned needed to be refreshed and continued. So as much as she has fun watching Krystal needlessly toss earthen creations around, it wasn't going to help her learn all that much.

However in typical Krystal Solara fashion she somehow manages to give the young kage a new idea on how to test her own strengths and better herself in the midst of her doing something else. This abstract display made from the ground was more than enough to give Kahimi a bit of an obstacle in the sense of moving snow and ice smoothly. In the sense of preparing a battlefield its not that complicated. However to to learn how to control it to such a finessed level could prove handy for other jutsus like Sekitan said earlier. So with that in mind Kahimi would take that into consideration since Krystal has went into that unseen meditation mode.

The crafty Inuzuka took a moment to observe the various layout of the earthen pillars that Krystal created. Sekitan once again had went quiet and most likely was preparing something on his own. Which means she would be left to figure out her next step again. A difficult task in theory, but not so difficult in practice. Not for someone as cunning as the Yukikage when she gets this motivated. Lady Kahimi had more than enough chakra to spend picking away at this, but she didn't want to rely on that. The blizzard wasn't going to let up anytime soon, and neither was she. And with her lack of vision because of that damn blizzard navigating snow through these pillars was going to be troublesome. From one side to the other she was going to cut a path day through the snow. One that clearly shows her skill. This was her next step.

"Ugh, thats going to take a lot of work to do." She'd mutter underneath her breath as she realized what she just set herself up for, but with her pride as a shinobi and kage on the line she couldn't let such a challenge persuade her confidence to falter. It must be done. With this set in stone, she'd form the handseals which by now have been etched into muscle memory. She could feel the power radiating off of Sekitan and Krystal. They chakra signatures dwarfed hers in comparison, but with that power came the responsibility of control and patience to understand had to use it. She may not always have the patience, but chakra control is one thing nobody needs to teach her. Her father made sure of that...

The young Yukikage took her time when digging a pathway through the snow which led straight ahead of her leading towards the various pillars before her. Since they were aligned quite evenly she didn't have much freedom to chose how to navigate through them, but as she slowly followed her carved path she'd use her connection to the wind chakra nature to guide herself. The pillars were natural blockades to the blizzard winds that carried countless barrages of snow and ice that proved daunting to ignore as she tries to work though this maze of pillars. Her body for the first time in a long time she was actually slightly hindered by Yuki no kuni's chilling weather.

But that wasn't going to stop her. No, as the piled layers of snow in front of her continued to be carved at least two meters deep into a pathway, Kahimi would actually take this time to expand her reach as well. Multitasking different levels of control in order to keep the blizzard from interfering with her connection with her chakra. However to be able to move such heavy piles of mushy ice around creatively using such a straightforward jutsu is quite difficult. The strain on her chakra control was starting to show as she began to get stuck fixing her mistakes along the way. Not even halfway through the pillars as she stood within her carved pathway looking for way past this dilemma.

Targets. He would need targets for this technique he was developing, and perhaps he could provide a few for Kahimi to practice on as well, once she mastered how to work the snow and ice to her will. By a lesser degree, Krystal would be included, although she was not his priority. Gathering the necrotic energy in his other arm, he placed his hand upon the surface of the snow and released his bones into the very earth, Like weeds, skeletons began to grow from the snow and ice, until he was surrounded by his legion of skeletons (see die roll results). Half would move toward Kahimi and Krystal on a wave of the hand from Sekitan, but the other half would be Guinea Pigs for his technique.

“Use those as the two of you see fit, they will not attack you unless you command it.”

[Begin Training]

The first Skeleton would stand at attention before Sekitan, saluting him in his own macabre form, glowing red eyes seeming to follow him no matter how he moved. Chakra had been building in his forearm the entire time, now completely pooled and filled, he would need to figure out how to release it in a shotgun burst that would decimate this soldier here. The first test would be raw power, forcing the chakra out and seeing what kind of shape it took so that he could better mold it in the future of his training. Lifting his hand, he would point the palm toward the skeleton.

A bit of will was all it took to simultaneous push the chakra and hold the chakra back until the pressure seemed it would cause his forearm to bulge. Finally, he would remove the stop block from that chakra, allowing it to shoot forward at a rapid speed, rushing through his chakra system to some very minor pain, but nothing compared to pulling the bones from one’s own flesh. In short order the chakra reached his palm, creating a glowing bubble of frozen liquid chakra, like a glistening orb of crystal for only a split second.

Violently, the chakra would explode from his palm directly in to the face of the skeletal soldier, who stood still and accepted his fate with a sense of honor. The blast was very short in range, merely a single meter in distance, but the force was quite amazing. The entire upper body of the skeleton was pockmarked with crystals of ice, while its head was blasted from his body, but then frozen in mid-flight from the neck. It was disturbing to look upon, if you weren’t accustomed to this kind of macabre art, but Sekitan hardly noticed. This technique was far from perfected and now he would need another test subject, the skeleton he had attacked crumbling to a pile of bone dust.

Edit: There are now 69 (ayyy) skeletons on the field. Split the 35 between each other. 34 are with me.1-4

This land was frigid. Cold in likes that Daigo hasn't acclimated to. He trudged through the area constantly having to take shelter behind trees because of the harsh winds that blew. The Hyuuga was from Ni no Kuni. A land in which trees grew abundant and the sun was a constant. It took him a bit to get used to the weather but after putting on his winter gear over his armor it made moving a lot easier for him.  After about an hours travel Daigo would see a battle going on. About 2 dozen skeletons would grow from the ground. Half of the group would begin walking towards 2 of the them while the remainder stayed with the caster. 

"Ah, what's going on here?"

Daigo was relatively well known in Ni no Kuni and fairly well versed in the B.I.N.G.O book so maybe he could recognize some of these figures. As he moved closer he didn't even try to hide the fact that he was there. Approaching the summoner of the skeletons he'd offer a word.

"Hello there." he'd say in a metallic tone. His helmet vibrating his words to come out a bit differently than normal.

As skeletons started to emerge from the snow Krystal ooooh'd watching them emerge, she'd ignore the rudeness of not answering but he showed her instead giving her an odd idea. As they came over Krystal heard a voice ring out over the 70-odd skeletons and looked toward the source seeing someone in armor approuching, he seemed to be addressing Seki so she didn't think he was a threat still she floated closer to Kahimi as her gold eyes analyzed a skeleton, having no real knowledge of anatomy this was the first time she was seeing a skeletal structure and noted the shape and arrangement of bones before noticing the finger tips looked pointy.

With an idea in her head she held up her hand in the shape of a gun, as she had seen Loki do in the past, with her high chakra control training she didnt notice the act building up chakra behind her first digit as she aimed at one of the skeletons playfully.

"hehe~ Ba-" A loud crack rang out as the chakra released with the sound of a pop as her first digit shot from her fingertip like a bullet impacting the side of one of the skeleton's skulls as the sudden rip and tearing made Krystal howl and clutch her hand seeing the blood dripping down her arm. However as she opened her bloodied hand to look her finger was fine, however she could see and feel the bone being replaced under the skin that had knitted itself back together making her tilt her head. "owie...."

Eleven of the remaining thirty-three skeletons would immediately break off at the sound of the new coming, rushing toward him with clawed hands, burning red eyes signifying they were tougher than your average skeleton; which normally had blue glowing eyes or silvery white. Sekitan himself would turn to face the newcomer as well, cold emerald eyes glowing in the lack of light caused by the cloud cover, the snow swirling passed his figure, and his face hard as if made of stone.

“I would be careful around here, if I were you. Yuki no Kuni is not the friendliest land and my skeletons are not the friendliest hosts. Defeat them and I will answer your question.” He would turn from the man clad in armor then, choosing a direction where he could watch both Kahimi and this stranger from the corner of either eye.

[Begin Training]

Despite the newcomer, he was sure his Skeletons would keep the man busy long enough, what mattered now was the perfection of this technique. A raw burst of power seemed to be on the right track, however it would not be enough at all. A funnel of some kind was needed, or perhaps a focus would be more accurate, to create the cone shape that was desired. The second piece of the puzzle would be the range, as this technique had a range of ten meters, yet he was only capable of one. The first step to this would all be harnessing the chakra in his forearm like a loaded gun, frigid liquid chakra ready to burst at a moment’s notice.

Next, he would push the chakra closer to his palm, a thread of it at least, and allowed it to sit there for a moment as he pondered on what to make of it. The logical option would be a cone. With a bit of will and hardly any effort, Sekitan would create a cone, although the size of the cone was still unknown to him, at least the size that would allow the perfect funnel for his chakra. This was the trial and error phase, so the first cone he created was a bit wide in the mouth. Calling over one of the skeletal warriors, Sekitan would have him position himself five meters away.

A violent burst of frozen chakra would explode from Sekitan’s palm, although it would be far wider than it was supposed to be and did not nearly go as far as it was intended to travel. A wide diamond of frost chakra was created up to four meters distance, but six meters in diameter. Not an overall terrible result, but not quite the perfection that Sekitan would have wished for. The single Skeletal warrior was unharmed, however two bystanding skeletons had been frozen solid off to the left and the right of the silver haired former Kage. A single grunt of dissatisfaction escaped Sekitan’s throat as he looked at the aftermath, but then he would set back into figuring out how to solve this little problem.

[Flashback Training] 

Back to a time in Hi no Kuni where Daigo was learning how to expand his hand to hand combat. Daigo was with a practitioner of the Burendono Kenseijin Art. An art that is normally known for it's sword combat. Still there were things that Daigo saw that day from that man that he absolutely had to learn. The man was a short build, stocky with a wide frame and his punches used all of his body. Still the power behind a specific punch set the Hyuuga in awe. The Soda Taika of the Tyuosa Ryuu Art: Futae no Kiwami was a punching technique that could punch through swords and still make contact with it's wielder. The motion starts with a low crouched stance and the right arm; his dominant arm curled towards his side. In a karate punch like motion and a sharp focus of the ki allows for destructive force. This doesn't happen once per punch but twice.

Daigo's initial trial punches weren't nearly as powerful but his form was correct. If there was one thing the armored ninja was good at it was his taijutsu form. The Soda Taika was impressed with the first punches as most practitioners don't even get the basics of this. He was allowed to learn this straight off due to one of his old friends being a Kensei. Once more he would try. This time aimed at a dummy target rooted to the ground in front of his house. Daigo focused and as if a droplet hit still water he acted with force to disrupt the peace. The blow was explosive but in two fold. The straw dummy was disintegrated simply from the power of his fist. 

[Back into the Present]

His words were aknowledged by the silver haired man and he was challenged to defeat skeletons. Simple enough he guessed. They seemed rickety but also great in number. Daigo crouched a bit and with sonic speed dashed forward to the face of the nearest skeleton. He appeared in front of it, flickered in place then disappeared to the skeleton's eyes. What happened in reality was he simply ducked low as fast as he could below eye level and delivered a Futae no Kiwami. The skeleton would shatter and the pieces flying off would disintegrate. The remainder of that skeleton dropped to it's knees and slowly turned to dust. 

"Aye." he'd respond to Sekitan.

Tsuyosa Ryuu: Futae no Kiwami (Mastery of Two Layers)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A dual strike technique that allows the user to bypass hardness while delivering a powerful strike.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Mastery of Two Layers is a technique that focuses on allowing the full use of one's strength and power to be fully utilized at its maximum output. The Futae no Kiwami's principle aspects come from understanding that all matter bears a level of resistance, and that a single blow's impact is wasted upon meeting this resistance. From this, two blows are to be acted to fully transfer this impact. With the fist, the first blow, using the proximal interphalangeal joints of the hand, meets to absorb the object's initial resistance. The first hit allows the user to bypass +2 Hardness per Class Level. Then, with folding the hand immediately to switch over to the proximal phalanx knuckles, delivers the final strike to the weakened object; in addition, the two hits are to be delivered at nearly the same time, with a few milliseconds interval. The 2nd strike deals 16 Armour Points of Damage per Class Level. The result is the complete destruction of the object (Can destroy overview Objects if it bypasses the Hardness), which has no more resistance to sustain itself and collapses into dust. Technique does double damage against inanimate objects while creating a crater 1/2 a meter per 16 Armour Points of Damage. User may relearn this technique multiple times. Each time learned allows the user to bypass an additional +1 Hardness while dealing +4 Armour Points of Damage per Class Level. May be performed once per movement.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin

Bone Weapon
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User is proficient at removing strengthened bones from their body and using them as battle implements.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is personal. Duration of this technique is 6 hours. The user is proficient at removing strengthened bones from their body and using them as battle implements—thus creating a bone weapon. User removes simple, non multi functional weapons from their limbs (Arms, Hands, Legs, and Feet only). A bone weapon is always appropriately sized for the user's current size category. The following statistics are provided for a medium-sized character.

A small bone weapon deals 6 Armour Points of piercing damage; it can be wielded as a one-handed, light weapon.
A medium bone deals 8 Armour Points of damage, and can be wielded as a one-handed weapon.
A large bone weapon deals 10 Armour Points of damage, and can be wielded as a two-handed weapon.


To form a bone weapon, the user must spend chakra, and is unable to use the limb used in the creation of said weapon, for 10 rounds minus 1 per Class Point (minimum 1). If the limb was an arm, the arm cannot be used during skill checks, to make handseals or wield a weapon, and the user suffer a -2 penalty to Might and Break checks. If the limb used was a leg, the character's movement is halved and the user cannot run. User suffers a -1 penalty to all Minor Defenses. Creating a bone weapon does not provoke an Opportunity Attack. The same limb cannot be used to create another bone weapon until it becomes usable once again. The bone weapon turns to dust after 6 hours.
Limit: Must be a Kaguya. Must know Dance of the Larch.

As the pain quickly subsided she noticed Seki send skeletons to attack the man but didn't particularly care about him. instead she looked at her hand and arm as another bad idea came to her. Taking a deep breath she focused her chakra along her left arm, the chakra quickly seeded into her bones making them feel almost itchy or restless before she felt her muscle start to push against them with a shudder and a noticable wince of painher shoulder tore open blood spilling down her body as it stained the snow before she grabbed the bone and pulled it out with an arc of blood splattering the snow and a few skeletons as the chakra seed bloomed within the bones molding them further as the neko felt her arm start to reform, it took time but it healed the wound closing it had nevere been their while the space was already filled with bone again.

The bone smoothed and molded swiftly into a weapon, the calcium growing outward in smooth glass line planes eventually creating a great sword that looked to be form of ice or glass with a twisted hilt and handle. If it werent for her size she wouldn't be able to hold it now with only one hand but thankfully the weapon felt level. However a sudden thought struck her. "Wait... How the hell am I pulling bones out of me? Is this a normal thing? I dont know normal..."

Sekitan watched as Krystal drew the bone from her arm, creating a weapon appropriate for her enormous girth, and his eyes narrowed. He may have to kill her after all. Or maybe he would have to form the clan again, as they were far too scattered, if even this monstrosity was a Kaguya. “Kahimi,” Sekitan would call out, his deep baritone reverberating over the frozen landscape, “What did I tell you about daydreaming?” Shaking his head, he would turn and call another skeleton over to him, while keeping an eye on the newcomer who would have to battle his own crew of monstrosities made from his bone. “I would not take the creatures too lightly, stranger [Naota]. I have not told them to actually kill you, they are merely a test.”

[Begin Training]

Theorem would have to be revisited for the execution of this technique, to say that the cone would need to be revised, perhaps made smaller. Yes, a thinner cone would have the more desired effects that he was looking for, but how thin should it be? Typically, the best way of knowing was to make it thinner than necessary, as he had already made it wider than necessary, and finally gauging from that. Chakra filled his palm and began to shape the cone that resided therein. Meanwhile, chakra began to pool once again in his forearm, but a new tactic for that began to take shape in his mind.

With the new cone formed, this one far thinner than the previous, he began to inspect the work within his own chakra system. He intended to create a way for the chakra to stream further, which meant a continuous push of chakra rather than a quick burst, but the burst would still be necessary. Instead of a shotgun blast, it had to be more like a gout of flame from a flamethrower. First, he created the pool of chakra he would begin using, a deeper pool than previously, and then started to build the pressure. However, he allowed the chakra to continue to pump into the pressure chamber of his chakra, so that he would have a continuous stream for a slightly longer burst until the pool was emptied. Finally, it was time for the test.

The same Skeleton as before remained in place, the grinning bone face watching its master unblinkingly, prepared to ‘die’ for him, so to speak. The former Kage would aim his palm at the creature, the chakra already built, and the stream already prepared, and he would let loose that frozen chakra. A jet of liquid frozen chakra would explode from the palm, almost like a pressure washer Jetstream to strike the creature directly in the chest, freezing only the ribcage and sternum. Along with a few splash marks on the creature’s body that began to form the telltale ice crystals. The distance had been perfect, it would have gone the full ten meters, but now he had to perfect the cone. That would be easy, as it would need to be between the prior test and this current one exactly. IT was time to perfect his technique.

"Noted." he'd respond.

His fist would extend outward and punch another of the Skeletons but this time he would fail to extend his hit and make it a true Futae no Kiwami. This bothered him. He learned this technique, how did he forget the skill? There were plenty more skeletons left approaching him and Daigo had to find time in his training to dodge the various strikes of these skeletons which was work in its own right. The next opportunity presented itself to use his technique and he'd punch dead center of one of the skeletons chests. He made sure to focus his ki enough to extend more damage within this same strike and that explosive hit that is supposed to happen happened this time around. The skeleton was blasted backwards and disintegrated in mid air.

Suddenly he was struck on the back by a skeleton and knocked to the ground. Swarmed by them right after. He didn't let that happen though. He spun kicked hurricanrana style and got back on his feet and delivered two more Layer strikes taking out the skeletons with each hit. The Kaguya wasn't kidding when he said not to take them lightly. It's been a while since Daigo took to combat and the thrill and rush of it made him feel euphoric. Trading a few more blows with them, piles of dust started growing over the snow and eventually mixing in. The smell wasn't too nice either.

The last few skeletons remaining would have to be dealt with quickly. He wanted to chat more with the gentleman who set them on him. He decided that faster movement was in order. Daigo was only kidding around at first bar forgetting the Mastery of Two Layer technique. He readies his stance and within an instant rushed the remaining skeletons and one by one punched them into oblivion. His movements were fluid and he wasted no real energy bobbing and weaving through the attacks to deliver punishing blows. Mastery of Two Layers is a powerful technique.

It would seem that the armor clad creature was no slouch, possibly human, and certainly powerful in his own style. Anyone who used that very style could recognize a two-layered strike. “A practitioner of Burendono Kenseijin I see,” Sekitan would call out to Naota, those glowing emerald green eyes critical of the boy, “and you have mastered a powerful technique indeed.”

[Begin Training]

The battle lust was climbing within Sekitan, a remnant of the past, but one that lingered within his very bones. This man in armor, what was he capable of? What power did he possess? The chakra moved on instinct, welling with his forearm as he pondered over that, watching the man battle his skeletons, striking them down easily with that very technique. The cone was shaped to his palm without him actually realizing, the truth of his skill, the power of his subconscious mind. There was movement behind him and he spun on it, the chakra building to climax and the cone nearly perfectly formed.

A skeletal hand clawed for him and he backed a single step, ordered the skeleton to move back to ten meters, and it listened. It had received his attack order if he was distracted and he was grateful for it, as it put him back on track. Everything seemed to all click together now, the pool of chakra within his chakra center, the pressure building within his forearm, the frozen liquid-like chakra that waited to be unleashed, and the cone of chakra in his palm that would help guide his technique. He continued to build the power, to make sure it would be perfect, and then he prepared to unleash it upon that very skeleton.

Like a blast of liquid flame, blue in color, the freezing point well behind it as the temperature of this technique froze even the air. A perfectly shaped cone of icy death escaped his outstretched arm, engulfing the remaining skeletons of his own, for they had been within the blast zone as well. Crystals of ice, jagged spikes exploding from their skeletal remains, the technique was finally completed. Raw power like he had possessed before the Evolution that stripped him of what he once had but gave him what he had never known as well. Those skeletons crumbled to dust under the weight of their own frozen forms and Sekitan turned toward the armor clad thing, emerald green eyes weighing it much like the ice had those skeletons of his. What would he find in this man?

[End Training]

Sekitan began to pull a blade from his arm, the flesh tearing a blood dribbling from the wound to steam upon the snow from the cold. Still the bone continued to grow, a length that should have been impossible, a full five and a half foot blade of bone that curved like a nodachi, but without a true guard, just seemingly joint ends to keep the hand secured either way; in the event there was too much blood and it became slick. Like the blood pulsing in his veins, or the beat of the heart in his chest, he could feel the blood lust pumping in his soul…
