Ah, jeez. Taijutsu time. Toru was seriously dreading walking through the doors of the Mist village senbon dojo. He was well on his way toward attending the chuunin exams, and yet he hadn't practiced an iota of taijutsu since he graduated the academy. However, all things considered, it was important that he be able to inflict damage without expending his chakra, which meant that he would inevitably have to turn to using his hands.
Stepping with trepidation through the front door, flytrap sealed tight from thigh to neck, Toru glanced around for the one that would be his teacher. The smokey female barely glanced at him and commanded with little words, "If you want to learn the art of senbon, take those needles there and do as I say," whilst indicating toward a table against the far wall. Toru held an immediate distaste for her, commanding him around without a proper introduction, expecting him to obey without question. Luckily for her, she had offered an incentive; he wouldn't learn how to throw needles if he didn't have any. Sensei glanced up at him just enough to establish he had taken the weapon, as well as raise an eyebrow about the green attachment he was hauling around. Even so, she stood up and was prepared to teach, most likely having seen stranger things in her lifetime.
"Do as I do." She handled the senbon in a way Toru had never seen anyone hold them before, with three at a time in between her knuckles. Fumbling for a moment with them, using his left hand to assist in their placement, Toru mimicked the grip she took of them as best he could. There was a distinct difference in the way she held hers compared to his, though. First of all, there seemed to be more of the senbon visible from the confines of her hand, indicating that she held them higher up on her palm than Toru who just clenched a fist around them. Secondly, she didn't actually clench a fist in the same way Toru did. It was lighter, more loose and flexible, as opposed to his stiff, planted grip. Adjusting his own weapon placement, just as awkwardly as before, he made a point of copying her hand with more detail. The senbon rested higher in his hand, his hand wasn't as stiff, and his wrist was bent back in preparedness to throw.
The teacher appeared to be impressed by this, since Toru had figured it out merely by glancing at her once. She began to take a bit of interest in her eidetic student, whom had yet to say a single word, and prompted him to put the senbon down and assume the stance as fast as he could. Toru acquiesced, taking the request as a challenge to see if he really knew what he was doing, and reached into his pouch as quickly as he could. Snagging the three needles, he thrust his fingers between them and forced them to align, then pressed his palm quickly but gently upwards until they arrived where he placed them earlier. Solidifying his grip, he yanked his hand out of the pouch and flicked his wrist back, ready and waiting to be examined in his technique. Without a single word of education by the sensei, her mysterious black and white student picked up the stance on his first try.
