Setting Camp [Training/Restoration Area]

[Sanctioned]

Near would collect himself. Thinking up on what to do now. He was looking down below the plateau he stood on. It overlooked the valley the capital was in. All Red, blood red, screams, grunts, and cries could be heard. Near wanted to go in so bad, but he knew he couldn't as of now. Near would pull out a piece of paper and write down the coordinates of where they were at. He had learned to do this from a while back when he was in school. Near had to take a lesson of location, it was quite a drag. But it looks like it might finally pay off, knowing and predicting coordinates. Near would finally turn around and put the note in the Talons of the Hawk of Ice. He would then send it to the Mizukage office to tell them where they'd be camping at. Hopefully they'd be there soon.

"It should be some time before they come. You can train or get settled in. Just let me know if your going somewhere." These would be the last words spoken out of his mouth before he turned back to face the fog and act as a sentry for a bit.

[Shakou Taishita]

Shakou looked away from the fog, not wanting to pay attention to it while he waited. He sat down on the ground and stared at the sky. His main thoughts were about what to learn at a place like this. He wondered if he could even learn anything at a time like this. The genin laid back and got comfortable, while also trying to block out all sound. Those screams were disturbing him, especially how they could be heard from far away.

[Rikuto !]

Senith would stand up on the cliff above the resting area overlooking the City, he had walked up the back on the mountainside so he was sure he hadn't been noticed. I would look down on the city with a certain sadness, it was part of my home after all. I would ow drop down from this cliff into the Resting area. There would be two nin sitting there. I would look at them, they were looked reasonable tough, average size for a normal human but dawarfs compared to my massive frame. I would nod to them and turn around and walk out the back of the resting area to a secluded circle sorrounded by mountain walls, it was perfect for training.

[DeeDub]

The air around the capital was cloaked in heavy mist. More mist than usual. As Maki moved through the trees a heavy scent filled the air. Baki conutenance became one of fear as they drew closer to the capital. "M-Maki" Maki was amazed at his Brother's almost whimpering call of warning.

"Hmm.. somethings going on down there as he seen some other nin standing above the capital looking down at the what must be a horrible event going on at the capital.

Maki landed and greeted the other nin. He didn't recognize them he was gone for a pretty long time. They must've been waiting for more Mist nin to show up for the fight. Maki knew they couldn't do anything from here but was ready to fight.

[Rikuto !]

I would return from my walk around the area of the campsite. I would notice the newcomer, I would aknowlodge the smaller man with a smile and a nod, drawing myself to my full height of 7foot tall as i did so. It gave me a feeling of dominance and Self-Reasurance. I would then walk to the edge of the cliff near were everyone was siting and look down upone the city. I would smirk to myself and pull Kuroshiro (My 6ft Great-Sword) from the Sheath on my back and effortlessly swing it down to my side, smiling as i did so.

I would then speak loudly in an extremly deep voice suiting my monstrouse size, "Are we just gona sit around all day or are we gona get this done" As i spoke i wouldn't turn back to look at anyone, i kept my vision fixed on the mist.

[DeeDub]

As Maki looked down onto the mist another nin came he was about 7 feet tall towering over the group. He swung a giant sword and asked "Are we just gonna sit around all day or are we gonna get this done"

Maki felt the same way. "I'm ready to go , now." He said looking at the others in the group.

[Rikuto !]

I would smile approvingly and speak loudly to the group, to Maki imperticularly (Altho i didn't know his name at the time), "We could hang around, elect a leader, wait for a Jounin or whatever, but im going in now. If you want to come, sweet, if you wana stay here, so be it."
As I said the final phrase 'So be it', I would lunge forward off the cliff and free fall to the City below, sword in hand. I would land perfectly and begin to walk into the city, not bothering to check if anyone was coming with me.

[Exit]

[DeeDub]

The tal guy smiled at Maki in his agreement. He soon jumped off of the cliff heading into the mist enshrouded city.

Maki had a double take between the tall guy jumping and the other two nin on the cliff. He soon followed the tall guy off of the edge into the capital. The wind rushed around his ears as the capital came into view.

Near was laying back. He had fallen into a light dose. But who could sleep in a place like this? He fell asleep around the time he got here. Near's technique previously must've worn him down more then he thought. As he fell into a light dose, he would remember his training all of yesterday. Like the time he was training the technique "Flowing Water Motion." What a nightmare that was.

[Flashback]

As Near would recover from his stance, he knew that he had to step up the game. If he wanted to have any chance of walking out of the area with no Senbon lodged in his throat or forehead. This teacher could kill. But to an extent, Near just thought she was trying to blow out some anger. He would keep his eyes on her for now on, trying to pierce through her vision as to see any key aspects of her next move.

"I want to see more feet work Near. Also, after this I want to test you in hand-to-hand combat. That is all, now get ready." Near would give a satisfied nod at her smooth perception. It seems as if she was the right one to pick for his training. Near could not expect anything better from a master of Dexterity of course. She probably had mastered this technique a while back. As Near would get back into his normal position, he would make one shift. This would act as a supporting weight.

Near would position his other leg to have the heaviest of the mass. He nodded at the sensei as confirmation of being ready. Without further hesitation, the woman would get ready for another round. She would reach for the held up box of Senbon picking out three. Easily, the Senbon master would reach back as if she was grasping for speed after positioning the Senbon in her hand correctly. She then followed by a throw towards Near. All of which, were on target.

Near would correspond with a side step to the right to avoid the first, which was targeted for his torso. Instantly he had already dodged the other one that was aimed towards his left hand as well. But the right one came in at a fast speed, almost abruptly after the others. Near stuck up his elbow to block the Senbon knowing he could not dodge. It would ding off leaving no marks other then a tear in the surface of the clothing.

The secret was that he had two elbow blades in his elbow area, the equivalent of elbow pads for example. Near would bring his arm back down to remain aware of the next attack. Where would she strike? Where is she going to throw? How fast? How many!? These questions littered Near's mind as he would quickly recover almost instantaneously.

*2nd Post*

Near would continue, as he watched the Sensei grasp the next line of Senbon. She had nothing really to say, other then good job. Which was not a big deal, for he knew he had not really impressed her. As he would quickly regain his breath, the throws would be made. Left, right, right! Near would follow these voices in his head, paving out his foot work to correspond to his commands at such a fast pace.

One Senbon came towards his right side, he would shuffle a little to the left dodging it. Two coming towards the same area except at different heights would fly towards Near next. This would negate him from ducking, or jumping. Without much thinking involved, his instinct took over. It seemed as if time was slurring by a little. Near would be able to find a way miraculously to spin to the left using his chakra in his feet.

He would produce his ice from the footing area. This also was one of his already known jutsu, but he'd use this to give him a slippery edge. Finally! He would instantly spin over to the left at a fast speed hardly missing the Senbon. Near would spin back to facing his teacher and look directly at her with his normal look. His mind was very wild at the moment though. But he did notice that time started to kick in once again. He had just used about all his adrenaline along with dodging.

How did I do that? Near would think these words without showing any of the following motions. He would then pay attention to the teacher. But a closer look would show that she was bursting at a fast speed towards Near. Her leg would arc up and crash, but only to hit the hard ground. Near would jump back with a backwards barrel roll to complete. He would roll back up with his eyes piercing on the teacher once more.

"You have been getting faster." She said smiling at him. "Now get ready!" She would get back into her fighting pose and charge towards Near.

[Shakou Taishita]

Shakou, being the person he is, fell asleep. He soon got up, realizing how people were gone. His eyes widened as he quickly got read to go to the capital. "I'm really late," Shakou thought. "Man, I hope they don't really need me." He jumped off the cliff and ran to the city, wondering what was there as opposition.

Near would snap out of his dream. He arose to view the same as he had been. He looked around to see no one. Where was the Mizukage? Where did everyone go? These would vision through his head. He looked down to see the bloody fog. Screams were still heard all out. Near began to get jittery.

"I can't.... My body..." Tears began to run down his face. He quickly executed a string of seals. He struck the ground with his hand instantly creating the Ice Hawk he had. Near would now jump on it and fly back to the Mist Village, going through the forest route.

[EXI

[Sanctioned]

Near entered the camp again. He hopped off of his Hawk as it soon recalled from thin air. It had been overused and evaporated from site. Waiting until the next time it would be used. Near was now more confident. With a grin, he made his way back up to his post looking down on the valley. Near would remain his eyes on the capital below him. The tall teen would stare at the outings of the valley until he seemed to recall old times of training with his master.

Near stood back up from the place he had backed up to. From one knee down, to both legs up. He stared directly, eye to eye at his Sensei. Not too long to see another series of attacks coming in. He watched them smoothly and steadily. Left, right, right, his body would capture the moment of the kicks and pick a side. The Genin's legs laid their shifting moments on the line. Now he would look out for some over the cross punches. He saw one coming in. Over his head as he ducked, but he noticed as she stepped inwards at him relieving a knee upwards.

Near would see it in time. His eyes would glare at it as his mind already told him what to do. But how would he do it? Block or dodge? It looked blockable. So Near proceeded his hands in front of his body, cupping them into fists in front of him. He leaned over to block off his stomach and face. The knee crunched into his arms, each feeling bruised and a bit numb as he stepped back from the recoil of the blow. He would watch as his teacher would follow in with the finishing blow, as Near attempted miserably to recover from his destroyed guard.

A kick was seen from below, but Near could do nothing but to accept it. The crunch of the sound was surely one to fear. Near would flop to the ground on his back. Holding his chest in pain. It wasn't broken, but it did seemed very bruised. No ribs were targeted, just the very center of his chest. Where the cartilage of his rib cage is mostly stored up. Near did not let the pain go away. He heroically rose to body level with his sensei. His body stuttering from the impact of the kick still. Near was breathing heavily.

"You know you can fight back if you want." The master edged Near on teasingly.

"...." No answer was heard in place of Near. He never really liked to talk. No one would seem to know why, but he would only talk when it was necessary. Near would now be in more zone though. His keen senses were going to intensify now, he could attack and keep the teacher guessing. As he thought of many possibilities in his head, the teacher rushed in. Her arm directed downwards to punch him. In a trace of nothingness, she struck all air, and ground at the very base. Near reappeared at her side. He had just used his Mirror Image technique."Sorry Sensei, but now. It is my turn." His face was turned a little to the side, but his eyes would remain directly on his Sensei's frontal body. A kick broke through in time to avoid a block. The teacher broke it up though before it was turned into a combo. She shot backwards holding her numbed shoulder. Near's kick wasn't hard enough to break but it would bruise it badly. The sensei grinned. "It seems I have underestimated you Near-san. I wanted to just have a little fun, but the truth is, you seem ready. Now come back and see me if you need anymore training. Okay?" Near's responding answer would be a slight nod. He would then walk out feeling ever so more satisfied.

Doing so makes the senbon fly in even more accurately at the target and increases damage when hitting. This is meant to be combined with other senbon techs.
Limit:Must know Senbon Taitoku Stance.

(This is still all a Flashback)

After a little while. Near walked back into the dojo. He met up with his Sensei. She always seemed to be ready for him. She would label him as a very interesting student. One who is quite quiet though knows how to hold his own in a battle. Now Near was going to learn something that would increase his battle capabilities. As he came up, his face showed a dismayed look, as if he didn't want to be here but something dragged him in. But soon after he did a little explaining on what he wanted to learn which was specifically 'A good Senbon technique.' The teacher would throw one his way.

She explained it to him very carefully, naming it. The Senbon Acceleration Spin. It would increase spinning strength which in the long term would increase speed, accuracy, and damage. All he had to do was put a little chakra into each throw. He would soon make progression in what to do and finally be at the outside area. The teacher was sitting on a chair she had brought out to the open. She held a book in her hand that looked interesting for once. Something other then that regular anatomy book she'd always have.

Near was to now attempt the technique as the teacher would supervise his training. Being swift and nimble, Near would withdraw one of his Senbon. He would set his eyes on it, examining it in his open palmed glove. He then gripped it between his knuckles after a long look and focused on the post with the dummy attached to it. Near had to pierce it throughly. It didn't seem like such a challenge. Near grasped his arm back and started to focus his chakra in it.

It would then be gathered into the base point of his Senbon. He would allow the chakra to give off a swirling motion, so when released from his hand, would give a drilling look to it. As Near focused, his teacher stared intently on the hand, not even paying attention to the book she had been grasping in her hand. It was time. Near through the Senbon at the post, the Senbon released from from his knuckle gap into the cold motionless air. The Senbon cut through the air quick and reached it's target.

It shot right through the front of the dummy and stopped about partial way of exiting the other side. It was accurate as well! He had targeted the left lung of the dummy. It had struck with success. Near turned to the teacher to view a thumbs up."Now try it with more Senbon, and throw in any Senbon techniques you had learned with it." She said. Near nodded in approval. He withdrew three more Senbon and put them in the knuckle grooves of his hand. They rubbed against the gloves smooth coat. Focusing chakra into each of them at the same time, he would now be ready.

He threw them with great precision. They easily struck around the target they were aimed at. The right side of the torso, in individual areas. Near looked a bit over abnormal at the new succession of the jutsu he had just learned. Something that would make him stronger in being a ninja.

Near would still believe he had training to do. He got back into position steadily, constantly staring at the target. His eyes wouldn't move any farther nor shorter. He retrieved one Senbon from his bag. Near would now use a jutsu with the Senbon. He stared at the post's dummy. Focusing where he wanted to hit it. Finally he zoned in on the middle of the head. He would then focus chakra at the base of the Senbon. Now with great force applied, he would throw the Senbon towards the post. It was very powered and span at a very fast speed. The combination of jutsu gave it much power and accuracy. As it landed it's blow. It shot right through the whole dummy proceeding on the other side until falling limp. Near grasped his hand as the teacher looked a amazed. In such little time, he was progressing so fast. It took him ten minutes to grasp this jutsu down. What a truly amazing site to see. A young youthful ninja getting stronger and stronger. With so much strength, he sure to reach his goals soon. But at the moment, that was proceeding to the Chuunin Exams and passing them, and he would do it!
