I shifted the wings stretching them out feeling how the wind caught on them and tried to lift them up into the air currents. I winced a little feeling the strain of the new wings and slowly started to retract them back into my body the pain was bad but not unbearable as I felt the feathers starting to slowly retreat back into my skin as I stared reversing the growth process.

As the feathers disappeared I felt the chill across the wide film of skin that was twice my arm span. I shook my head a little trying to shake the feeling as the bone skin and muscle slowly started to pull back into my body the bones snapping and my muscles cracking. The partial wings grew smaller towards my back as the extra tissue and calcium worked back into my body.

I sighed quietly and reached behind me feeling the skin raised in two slight ridges along my shoulder blades and sighed in peace feeling normal again but at the same time feeling the extra mass melding with my body. I looked up at the sun and grumbled, the process had taken me an hour to complete the growth and reduction. "I gotta figure out how to make it faster or I can't use it in battle."

Hime yawned and stretched out on the lawn as Ayura came out to softly pet her head. Hime nuzzled up against her hand getting up to follow Ayura as she led Hime out behind the house to the lush green training field with multiple dummies lined up around the northern edge of the field. Ayura smiled and crouched down ruffling Hime's neck smiling as Hime yipped and pawed at her.

"Since Axel is training alone I'll help you too, k Hime?" Ayura said and Hime nodded wagging her tail as Ayura stood back up and stretched flexing her shoulders before vanishing in a poof of dust and instantly reappearing 10 meters away grinning at the wolf. "Heh that's called a shunshin girl you focus on your muscles then tense them and move forward as fast as you can"

Hime nodded and closed her eyes focusing on the muscles in her legs tensing them before pushing forward. but she only managed a small leap covering three meters of an arc before touching the ground at normal speed. Hime then looked up at Ayura tilting her head confused about her progress. "It's okay girl but remember your body can only handle that 3 times a day okay?" Hime wagged her tail a bit and nodded to Ayura.

I groaned and stood up as I looked over the scroll they had given me, looking through it apparently it had a few drawbacks, Firstly it could be painful for the initial outburst of the wings which was understandable from bones bursting out of your shoulders, it then said that the pain would either soon fade or would become of no consequence of the user.

"Hm. Let's try it fast" I set down the scroll and started to visualize the process that had happened before, first the bones had grown out spanning a total of 14 feet from tip to tip, then tendons and ligaments to hold the bones together, next was the muscle that was the start of the nerve impulses connecting to my body, after that was the skin that covered the muscle and then created the film for the wings themselves connecting just under the base of my wings, and lastly the feathers and down which spanned across every bit of skin covering them and making them blackish blue and glossy. The wings were than complete.

I could see it all in my mind's eye and started replaying over and over trying to make it faster. After making a seal I quickly sent a burst of chakra to my shoulder blades and yelped loud in pain as two great black wings burst from my back spraying a little blood around. The pain made me fall, the sky swirled and rushed before I met the ground, cringing a bit I slowly lifted my body to see the light red sheen across the feathers of my wings.

I bit my lip and thought back seeing the reverse process the feathers retreated back into my skin as the down faded, the skin peeled back away from the muscle, the muscle unwrapped from around the bone returning into my body, and lastly the bone withdrew and dissolved into my blood stream.

After visualizing the process I formed the seal again making my chakra withdraw from the wings. The rapid withdraw made the wings quickly disintegrate back into me and the sensation made me suck in air between my lips and arch my back before coughing and reaching back to feel my back I could feel the ridges had grown smaller this time and also something warm and wet on my back, as I pulled my hand away I saw red smeared across my fingers. "Ow" then it began to rain washing my back clean and cooling my heated body from chakra and muscle stress.

Hime's ears twitched a little as she looked in the direction of the field she had left her owner before turning back to Ayura and padding over to her for more training. Ayura had already explained about the strain it would cause on Hime's body if she were to use the shunshin more than three times a day it would injure her.

Ayura gently patted her thigh and broke into a dash while Hime kept pace behind her easily, Ayura grinned then vanished and reappeared further ahead. Hime tensed her muscles focusing her strength before pushing forward managing a 7 meter shunshin and making up the rest of the distance in a dead run.

"Good girl try to keep up" Ayura called to Hime before vanishing and reappearing ahead again but this time repeating the process twice making her a full 30 meters ahead of the silver wolf. Hime growled faint and tensed her muscles again as she ran before pushing harder to execute the burst of speed. At the last second Hime heard a twig snap to the left and turned to look, the action caused her to shunshin wrong and end up in a high speed roll ending when she hit a tree.

"Hime!" Ayura saw the spin and turned running back to her as Hime got up feeling an ache in her side, seeing Ayura running to her she tensed her muscles again to meet her and pushed forward but her muscles seized up making her yelp out in pain and fall to the ground whimpering as Ayura finally reached her.

"Hime i told you no more than three" she gently stroked her fur feeling her muscles spasming under her skin from the over use. Ayura sighed and gently picked Hime up taking her home to bandage and heal her as it started to rain.

As the rain slowly ended Axel sat up and shook the water out of his hair before getting up and stretching his back muscles feeling tense. After forming the ram seal he pushed chakra into his shoulder blades and with a wince grew out his wide black wings flexing them out and wrapping them around him now starting to work on controlling their actions.

Axel stretched the wings out wide feeling the wind catch and start to lift him slightly, he quickly folded his to his back not wanting to get swept up. He walked over to the edge of the 40 ft tall waterfall and slowly spread his wings trying to feel for a thermal to ride. He felt the pick up from the warm air and jumped off catching the wind and slowly glided on the updraft, completely oblivious to the wide shadow of another winged man flying above him.

He spread his arms breathing deeply taking in the feeling of flight for the first time. the warm crisp air blowing through his air and breathing over his skin and features. Then the wind shifted, the difference caused his glide to destabilize and send him crashing into the lake 20 feet below. Axel quickly shuck his head and weaved seals allowing him to breath under water before swimming up to the surface using his wings to help push him up and exercise them.

Breaking the surface was clarifying as the air rushed in and filled his lungs as he pulled himself to shore coughing a little. Axel blinked a bit and saw a shadow of a bird with a long tail circling him and looked up to the heavens to see a winged man drop to the ground next him landing perfectly with white wings speckled in brown.

"So you must be the newcomer to the clan, the others sent me too oversee your progress" the large man said simply as I hoisted myself out of the water and shuck my wing sprinkling the water off. "You've seemed to discover gliding but it's a bastardized version of what I will teach you."

______________

Ayura gently lead Hime out of the house watching her as she smelled the crisp wet air and wagged her tail eager to train while Ayura was a bit hesitant after she had just hurt herself. Ayura shook her head and sighed patting the wolf's head. "You're as hard headed as he is, ya'know?"

Hime liked the sound of what she had said and happily trotted around Ayura wanting to get back to training. "Okay girl and remember only three times and make sure there isn't anything in your way. It will hurt." Hime nodded running off towards the area, and for added measure she tensed her muscles filling them with the strength of a wolf and shunshined forward arriving 10 meters ahead and in the field.

Ayura blinked and laughed running over to her tapping her head as she passed her weaving seals quickly dropping to all fours while arcs of electricity branched around her moving even faster than before running into the forest. Hime bolted after her just barely slower than Ayura, she closed her eyes and quickly exerted her muscles tensing and rapidly expanding them making the release of kenitic energy shoot her forward and nine meters ahead of Ayura.

Ayura grinned with her fangs and mimicked the move sending her to the same spot as Hime and keeping pace with her from there. "Good job Hime we should try a different exercise for the shunshin, follow me" she said jumping up into the branches and running along them as Hime climbed up jumping with her following behind her electric boost. Hime narrowed her eyes annoyed by Ayura's un flinching speed and tensed her muscles before rocketing forward again landing on a branch just ahead of Ayura and started swishing her tail.

(OOC: Since it doesn't actually specify what the exercises are im just doing things for strength and coordination)

"You will need to exercise strength and coordination with your new wings from what I've seen you have the coordination to move your wings at the same time and the strength to push through water, it's a good start young one." the man gently grabbed Axel's hand helping him out of the water as he shook his wings to get the water to slide down the oiled fibers, he then lead him a ways from the edge of the water and took a boxers stance. "Hold your arms up in a defensive stance and spread your wings to focus around yourself, then try to block my blows with your wings"

Axel nodded and brought his arms up to easily defend his torso and face while spreading his wings out to make two-thirds of a circle with the open space in the front. Axel nodded watching the man cautiously, the boxer watched him before moving in to launch a jab at Axel's stomach. He moved his arms instinctively while moving his wings trying to follow the exercise. While the wings failed to stop the blow his arms protected his body and while Axel blocked the first blow the winged-man launched another blow towards his exposed face.

He quickly moved his right wing up and blocked the blow with the ridge of his wing being able to deflect the blow away. The man resumed his stance before ducking down and tried to launch an uppercut but Axel was able to pull both of his wings in front of him to block the launching blow at his chin causing a few feathers to strain and pull but was other-wise fine.

The man smiled faintly to himself before performing a lunge and at the last second tucked into a ball and rolled under Axel's wings then uncurled and pushed up fast launching a hard uppercut straight into his jaw picking him up off the ground. He fell tot eh ground and landed with a thud before looking back up at the man and wiping his bloody mouth. "guess you never said it would be straight forward huh?"

_____________

Hime yipped happily as Ayura caught up to her still keeping pace with her 'lightning' limbs. "Let's take a break Hime that's your three and my limbs are getting sore" Hime nodded and hopped down out of the trees into a small clearing by a river she padded over to the water taking a drink as Ayura laid down on a log taking a nap with Hime soon following. the two both awoke to the sound of rain starting to fall again.

"Ugh damn..." Ayura grumbled getting up and stretching while Hime followed suit stretching out her refreshed muscles while watching her master's sister. Ayura shook her head gently and smiled at Hime before running into the forest with the wolf at her heels. Hime kept close to her but then Ayura shunshinned up ahead of her teasingly. Hime grumbled and tensed her legs pushing hard with her ankles to vanish and reappear at Ayura's spot before yipping at her.

Ayura grinned before stopping at another opening, the stop causing Hime to skid past her before stopping. "Close the distance girl and catch me" she started to run in a wide arc around Hime and she crouched low tensing her muscles again before rocketing forward to intercept Ayura, but Ayura nimbly cartwheeled over Hime as she reappeared out of the shunshin. Hime growled slight and instantly tensed her legs firing off again to catch up to Ayura before she landed and bite her pant leg to stop her. "Heh looks like you got me girl that's the main use of the shunshin, speed and interception"

The man continued to circle around Axel and attempt more jabs at him and as the exercise went on Axel became more adept at blocking being able to move his wings fluidly to block the boxer. Soon the two started to become more mobile both being able to move and continue their actions. Axel began to get tired from the man's fists and his reaction time and movements were becoming slower.

The winged-man slid his foot back then pushed off it and swung a hard right hook at Axel's right side, he stepped back at the last second and pushed his wing up to deflect the blow away from his body and winced as he saw a feather come loose and flit down over his face. The pain was slight but sharp and Axel quickly hopped back trying to put distance between them.

Axel glared slightly as the man closed the distance fast and launched another jab the barely brushed past Axel's cheek, the man was becoming faster from not holding back and Axel would be running on fumes soon if this exercise didn't end soon. The man grinned staying light on his feet while circling slowly around the younger boy

In a split second the an disappeared in a puff of smoke before re-appearing right in front of Axel with his arm reared back for a devastating punch. Axel's eyes went wide, he had seen his sister use the shunshin before but never found it interesting and now he would pay for it. He quickly drew his wings up and braced his arms against them, the force was harsh and powerful as the blow sent Axel reeling back even with the block, he got up panting as he felt the strain from his arms and wings. "You've done well we will pick up tomorrow" the elder man said while he walked over to Axel and gently helped him up as the stars started to shine on the new fowl.

__________

Hime nodded from Ayura's explanation about the shunshin's use and Ayura jumped back up into the trees with Hime on her heels, Ayura grinned back at the silver wolf and weaved a few seals before she dropped to all fours with lightning arcing across her body again. "I'll race you home girl" Ayura grinned and sped off into the trees.

The silver wolf dropped down to the forest floor and sped off fast across the ground, she calmed herself and focused along the muscles in her legs before tensing pushing them hard making her rocket through the brush instantaneously her surroundings blurred and stretched around her as she shunshinned shortly they returned to normal view and she continued on the forest path.

Hime heard the trickle of water ahead and ran faster coming to the edge of a stream, she skidded to a stop to keep from falling in. The wolf huffed and backed up before getting a running start and tensing her muscles again she jumped hard pushing across the moving body of water in a flash her fur glinting like a silver streak in the moonlight.

Hime moved quickly through the under brush and saw that the house was just ahead and tensed her muscles as she ran making them constrict along her bones. She ran even faster and jumped out of the forest while releasing the energy in her muscles making her surge forward and out of the brush flying into the open field, just as Ayura hoped down out of the trees behind her and smiled to herself.

Of course, weight and other factors will need to be considered.
Limit: Universal TaiJutsu

After waking up the man had directed Axel back to the lake from earlier and Axel let his wings out stretching them. "You've done well young one your coordination with your wings has grown incredibly fast few of the other fledglings have the agility to stand up to me, now you need to strengthen your wings, coordination alone won't be able to keep you up in the air young one, now try to swim with your wings only"

Axel nodded quietly and dived head first into to the water eager to train, he met some resistance from the water because of his wings buffeting against the dense medium. Axel weaved a few seals and sighed contently being able to breath deeply with the jutsu, he turned down and started to slowly and gradually flap his wings. The muscles flexed and contracted slowly in the water having to work harder then working in air.

The water was clear with the sun light as he swum even deeper into the pool of water being able to swim faster with his wings being able to push and cut through the water swiftly. Axel quickly tensed his wings and shot up out of the water flapping his wings in tandem as the water fell around him in a shining veil. He was able to stay aloft for a fair amount of time before he slowly descended back into the water but was able to use his wings and wade on the water's surface.

Axel panted softly before diving back down under the shimmering surface to swim acutely through the water his wings were reacting well to the exercise and the water kept the muscles cool and relaxed so that they wouldn't become strained or cramped. He could feel the chakra film over his mouth start to wear thin and swam up breaking the surface again.

____________________

Hime stretched and yawned as she woke up and went out to the field waiting for Ayura to come teach her. Ayura had told Hime about a technique that would easily push people away. Soon later Ayura came out and patted her head before going over to a training dummy. "Okay Hime this is called sudden impact because its fast and throws the opponent away while barely hurting them"

Ayura moved her body into a stance next to the dummy and moved quickly shifting her body systematically then hitting the dummy hard in the mid-section with her open palms sending it flying across the field up to about 20 meters away skidding with a cloud of dust splaying out around her.

Hime tilted her head watching Ayura move and execute the technique while sending the dummy into the air. Hime wagged her tail happily and went over to another dummy before standing firmly and quickly moving her body to whip ans snap throwing her shoulder against the dummy's mid sectoin but only managed to knock it over.

She tilted her head and looked up at Ayura whimpering quietly confused. Ayura giggled and pet Hime before leading her away abit and touched the ground making a long stretch of ice to cover to lead to a dummy. "I'm sorry sweety I forgot to tell you to build up momentum before you hit the dummy, when you get better at it won't need the speed."

Hime nodded and went over to the edge of the ice and replayed the smooth motion Ayura had shown when she executed the impact against the dummy. She focused and ran onto the ice having learned how to stay on ice from training with Axel, as she built up speed and got within 5 feet she skidded to sideways position and tensed her muscles before pushing of the ice and launching her shoulder into the mid-section launching the dummy high into the air.

"You've done well Young one now it's time." Axel panted soft nodding and leaned on the edge of the pool and pulled himself up out of the water while droplets rolled off of his wings. He climbed up the slope to the top of the cliff again. the air was crisp and clean as his wings flexed and tightened in anticipation. he backed up and folded hiw wings close to his back knowing he could get more lift if he kept them folded until he jumped.

Axel broke into a dead running heading towards the cliff and barreled off the edge spreading his wings... he fell... fell... fell... then a gust of wind brushed his cheek. and caught his wings carrying him high up into the air gliding on the air currents and climbing higher still by flapping his raven black wings.

"Woohoooo!!!" Axel grinned to himself while folding his wings around himself and falling towards the earth and unfurled them catching the draft and flinging himself back up into the bright blue sky. "Hey kid do a barrel roll!" The man called up and Axel curled one wing tight to his body and flapped hard with the other making his body spin to one side before unfurling his wing back out and catching the wind to even back out.

______________

Ayura smiled and patted Hime's head "Good job girl lets try again stay on this side of the ice" Ayura went to the nearest dummy and carried it to the other end of the sheet of ice as Hime readied herself for another run. After Ayura had it set up she gave the signal and Hime broke off at high speed barreling down the ice at her full speed. as she got within 15 meters she tensed and shot her muscles rocketing her body forward across the ice which carried her further along the slick surface.

As she closed in on the dummy she shifted her body to the side again setting her up, and then hurled her body into the dummy whipping along her spin to push all the force and momentum into her shoulder. When the attack connected the impact was so hard that it sent the dummy flying back even further than the last one from the massive force sending it crashing to the ground as it finally landed.

Axel flapped his wings raising higher into the air soaring on the updrafts and thermal vents. he felt his wings stretching to catch that air as he soared through the clear skies. He stretched his wings wider and leaned back gliding up then folded his wing close to him and flipped back spreading his wings wide catching the air again to lift back into the air.

The winds seem to start to blow harder and a few clouds were forming, he quickly flapped his wings harder to try to keep up into the air as his muscles started to feel strained and weak. he started to flap his wings slower and descending to the ground before collapsing and folding his wings.
__________

Ayura smiled and petted Hime proud of her. "You did good girl the shunshin helped build your momentum now try doing it with out the extra momentum" Hime nodded and followed Ayura over to another dummy before getting into position next to it then quickly whipped her body along her spine and rammed her shoulder into the dummy hard enough to send it flying a few meters back before hitting the ground.

Jūjin Bunshin 獣人分身 (Beast Human Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Henge variation technique that transforms the animal companion into a humanoid person.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: This type of technique lasts until the object that has been changed is suddenly hit, smacked to knock the technique out, or if the user wishes for the technique to be dispelled.
Description: A modified version of a transformation technique, this jutsu allows a user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of a humanoid that cannot speak including themselves. When combined with the Four Legs Technique, the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation.
Limit: Animal Companion Technique for User. Must know Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Skill) to size of corresponding creature.

Axel and Hime both stretched before looking through the scroll Ayura had given him; the scroll gave him information on a jutsu he had put off until this time because he had been able to work through it but his sister threatened to make him clean the kennel if he didn't do it soooooooo no dog doo. Axel patted his thigh softly calling Hime over as he read the scroll, apparently it was simply a transformation jutsu to make Hime look like himself.

He sighed and shook his head the basic drawbacks these had was the same as any other transformation, they wore off if they got hit or it was canceled. AXel quickly formed handseals before touching Hime and the result produced a poof of clouds around Hime which slowly faded to reveal... a warped and mutilated version of Axel that looked melted like Michael Jackson.

The result made Axel wince and flinch before quickly cancelling the jutsu creating another cloud of smoke. Axel sighed and quickly weaved more seals before freezing the ground and creating a reflection. Axel looked at his reflection while stroking Hime's fur before weaving the seals again and touching Hime's head making another puff of smoke around the silver wolf.

This time the result was broken jagged and angular. it looked similar to Axel but like a reflection in a broken mirror. Axel sighed and looked down canceling the jutsu producing yet another cloud of opaque yellow cloud. "You know Hime if this keeps up im gonna start calling you puff the magic dragon" Axel grinned at her as Hime's eye twitched and she bit the back of his thigh before turning around and sweeping her tail into his face.

Axel smiled at Hime and pulled her back by her tail. She growled faint then saw Ayura come put and pat her head. "You having trouble bro?"

"Yeah there was a reason I tried to avoid this jutsu. It hates me." Ayura rolled her eyes and made a few quick handseals before touching Hime and she transformed into a complete copy of her with the same long auburn hair and shapely figure. Axel tilted his head looking between them both looking into their eyes trying to find the difference then smirked evilly walking behind them.

Axel gained an evil grinned while his eyes shined, he then reached forward rubbing both their rear ends. Axel quickly ducked as Ayura spin quickly to punch him and Hime reacted with her wolf instincts swishing her hips as if she had a tail. "Ha figured out who was who"

Ayura growled at him before going back inside while he blinked and flicked Hime's side making her change back. Axel rubbed his back head and shrugged before getting up and gently patted Hime's head before weaving together another string of seals and touching Hime again hoping for a better outcome.

The smoke cleared and Axel was surprised, Hime looked like a copy of Axel just with her fangs claws and hair longer than it normally would be. Axel grinned softly to himself, this wasn't too bad it was human.. mostly. He started to ruffle her new hair and she barked and suddenly a silver tail starts swishing behind her happily. "Heh Hime You're so cute i might transform you like this normally" The silver wolf glared faintly not liking how lightly he was taking the mistakes.
