Eve stepped outside, breathing in the cool air. She had managed to find her weather equipment, thankfully. They had been stored in something called... a closet? At any rate, she was outdoors and ready for some fun. After sliding around a bit on the ice, she finally got down to business. Thinking carefully about what she had learned so far, and how she had practiced, she realized that just forming a single clone to perfection was not getting her anywhere. She would have to step into the world of mass production. And that meant being a little more careless.

Once again, Eve formed her seals. Once more she was attempting 6 clones at once. However, this time she wasn't as concerned with perfect appearance. This not only made her much more relaxed, but delivered a lighter strain on her chakra. Within moments, she was finished. The clones were not flawless, but they were good, and that was the important thing. The point of the technique, she mused, was not to create a work of art, but to make the clones as numerous as possible. If she wished to make an exact clone, she could use the much simpler Bunshin no Jutsu. The idea here was to wear out the opponent as he tried to kill that which he could not touch. With this in mind, Eve kept going.

As she greeted the initial 6 clones she had create, she formed the handseals again, letting her chakra streak through the sky. Within about 5 minutes, she was surrounded by a group of clones about the size of a large academy class. And then… she started talking. Turning back to the field of clones, she murmured, “Um… hi?”

“HI!” came the force of 30 strong Eve Hokkaidos’ greetings. Her eyes widening, she said, “All right, this is where things get interesting. We’re going to do a bit of practice here.” And they were off. Eve instructed the clones in everything she could think of. From how to not react when somebody passed through them or to mimic actual movements, it was taught. Finally, Eve decided to stage a little exam. And with that, all the Eve Hokkaidos went through their regular day.

With Eve instructing them closely, the clones lived. First, they would all ‘wake up,’ getting up off the ground, yawning, and stretching. Then they practiced walking downstairs outside the front of the house. Then, ‘sitting’ in several chairs scattered across the training area, they ate breakfast. Some of them ate toast, while others spooned cereal into their mouths. Every step of the way, they were receiving instruction. Eve would tell them to “tighten up that elbow!” or “stand taller! Heiresses don’t stand like that!” Gradually, the clones began to appear in the image of true humans. Most amazing of all was their movement capabilities. When they cartwheeled, it took extremely careful examination to see that they were just slightly off the ground. Every time they went to attack Eve, she reared back, such was their believability. Even more impressive was that when Eve punched them, they made no move, simply allowing her to pass through. Finally, Eve dispersed them, proud and happy.

Eve was proud of herself. She had almost mastered her technique. Now she only had one thing left: practical application. Although she had used it in a practical situation briefly when she put the clone in her room, but never in a battle situation. Moving behind a large building, Eve continued to practice. Forming the handseals again, she continually created a series of clones. Eventually though, she got bored. Everything was too... similar.

She was about to head inside inside when she leaned out from behind the large storage shed. There, just around the corner, was a man. He was far from good looking. In fact, it looked as though he hadn't bathed in awhile. His hair was long and scraggly, but the most shocking thing came when she looked at his body in general. Nowhere on his body could she see a Yuki headband. Was this... the 'ruffian?'

He was certainly menacing. With a large katana drawn, he looked half-ready to kill anything that moved or got in his way. And he was walking straight for the mansion. With a worried expression on her face, Eve crouched behind the building. This guy was deadly! What did she have? A few weapons, and... jutsus. Here was her practical application. Instantly, handseals were formed. Appearing from the thin air were six Eves. The technique had now been perfected. There were no differences.

The bandit approached the house slowly, his blade up in the air. Suddenly, there were girls. They all slid out from behind the large building, moving along the ground as though they were skating. Sliding around him in perfect formation, the Eves made no move. In a sudden attack, the man sliced towards one of the girls. Nothing. The blade, although it appeared to be a clean cut to the head, it went right through. He sliced at another, and another. Two more misses. Finally, the true Eve skated in, flicking him in the forehead, then leaped back, attaching herself to the wall.

"Go away." The man obliged. Screaming loudly, he ran off, presumably towards the village. Eve turned away. The ANBU would take care of him soon enough. And her technique had been mastered. Crawling up the wall, she opened a window, leaping into her room. After congratulating her clone one her acting, job, she dispersed the clone and fell into bed. It had been quite a day.

Hyouton - Hyoukeibi no Jutsu (Ice Guard)
Rank: D Rank, Defensive (CJ)
Special: "Hand Seals" - Serpent, Bird
Skill: Ninjutsu
Description: This Jutsu gathers a small stream of ice that flows around the ninja as though it were water, but is capable of withstanding weak attacks coming from any direction as though it were thin ice.
Limits: It can only withstand two or three hits from D-rank attacks or weak Taijutsu users at most before collapsing. Needs ice nearby to be used.

Walking back into the cold, winter air, Kazuki would resume his training. The next jutsu on his list was the Hyoukeibi no Jutsu. The snowfall had long since ceased, but the temperature had not changed. The cold snapped at him as his fingers slowly formed hand seals. The chakra within his body was awakened, and sent coursing through his veins. It moved wildly throughout his body, until the Bird hand seals was formed. It began to gather within his palms as he prepared the next technique.

Holding his right hand out before him, ice would begin to be created. His knowledge of Ice Creation allowed him to do this, as his chakra slowly pushed it away from his palm. The ice began to bend, curving as it was pushed around his body. Holding it with his left hand, he would continue to make a long thread of ice, the basis of the Ice Guard technique. He eyed it carefully, making sure that there were no cracks or anything within the ice.

The smooth, crystal-like appearance of the ice would slowly reach its way completely around Kazuki, finally being sealed at one point. Still holding it with his left hand, he would begin to make the ice taller, covering a wider area of his body. He would make it so that the ice could cover his torso while still allowing room to move. Once this was done, he gripped the shield with both arms, then began another flow of chakra into the wall.

Slowly, he brought his left hand to the front of his body, maintaining a small link of chakra to the shield. He did the same with his right hand, and, to his surprise, the shield lay within mid-air, suspended by chakra. Forming the necessary hand seals once more, the ice would slowly begin to turn, flowing around his body as if a large diamond. The world beyond the ice appeared distorted and transfigured, but it would suddenly return to normal, as the ice guard came crashing to the ground.

The chakra threads had snapped, not being able to support the shield. Sighing, he would recreate a rather small stream of ice. However, infusing it with chakra, he would make sure that it was flexible, and able to bend with the use of chakra. Creating new chakra threads, he would send it whirling around his person, noticing that it was only large enough to cover his head. He lowered it so that it was around his arms, giving him visibility.

Arms extended with open palms, Kazuki would begin to move his arms randomly. The chakra caused the swirling ice to shift, bending its shape upwards or downwards, depending on his movements. He smiled, as he slowly reached down with one hand and grabbed a handful of snow. Throwing it lightly, it would hit the ice guard, only to fall to fall to the ground. The guard had withstood a snowball, but this was an accomplishment for Kazuki. He had never used a technique of this type before, and so it was exciting for him.

Suddenly, the ice guard began to move faster, twisting itself around Kazuki in weird fashions. He merely smiled, lowering his arms. With a simple twitch of his fingers, the ice bent back into a straight line, still flowing gracefully through the air. Releasing the chakra, the ice would come shattering to the earth below, falling through the soft snow. Cracking his fingers, then shoving them into his pockets, Kazuki would wonder if he needed more practice with that particular technique.
