Tenchi Hasso no Kamae and Fudo no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Two basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Tenchi Hasso no Kamae , Fudo no Kamae , The Tenchi Hasso and Fudo no Kamae are similar to that of closely towards that of Seigan and Chudan no Kamae to where the footing is quite similar. The user keeps their right or left foot forward having their toes pointing forwards. Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. With the Tenchi Hasso no Kamae the user holds the sword more closely towards their sides. The body is slightly slanted a little more as the user holds the sword tightly. This is mostly used for a defensive form of the stance as the user keeps the sword pointing upwards. For Fudo no Kamae the user uses this stance in more of an offensive form. The user would face the opponent as their arms are raised up holding the hilt of the blade. The sword is slanted in a diagonal form but the user keeps this stance and holds it tightly. This stance is mostly used for attacks that deal with downward strikes, but as well as the type of movements for confusing the enemy with sliding attacks.

Learning sword stances isn't all that bad. Sure Azazel would like to get to the good stuff like swinging and chopping and sueprjumpspinnydecapitation, but he can't get to the good stuff without the basics, so the stances he would learn and memorize.

His master forced him to use a blunt sword for his stance practice. Why he needed a blunt weapon when simply standing was beyond his comprehension, maybe his master didn't have faith in him.

Azazel kept his stance right, holding the sword with ease, as though it were a part of his body. The training and hard work it took to simply get into the dojo was paying off now. He knew the weight of the blade as he brought it to his side, the blade pointing skyward. His grip was firm, but not to tight, and his left foot was forward, even with his left shoulder. His right foot sat underneath his body, under his right shoulder to be totally specific.

The stance was comfortable, and easy to stand, and Azazel smiled when his master nodded in approval. The second form of the stance wasn't much different from the first, the footing was the same and the hand positioning was the same. He lifted his sword until his left hand that held the bottom of the hilt was level with his forehead, and his right was off to the right, and above and behind his left, leaving the blade on a diagonal.

Hiryu no Kamae and Chosui no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Two basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Hiryu no Kamae , Chosui no Kamae , The two stances known as Hiryu and Chosui no Kamae keep the same concept as that of the other stances within the past such as Tenchi Hasso no Kamae, Fudo no Kamae, Seigan no Kamae and Chudan no Kamae to where the user keeps their right or left foot forward having their toes pointing forwards. Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. The two stances are both mirrored against one another, as both stances have their attacking arm, the arm that is the same as the leg that is forward at the base of the hilt, while the other arm is at the end of the hilt. The sword is pointing downwards almost touching the ground as the arm is held straight holding the sword in a forty five degree angle downwards.

Azazel's patient was seemingly endless. Repeating the same slow simple transitions between stances was painfully boring, and yet completely necessary. He needed to have these down so he could get to the more advanced skills, so he stuck through it all.

Azazel pushed his right foot forward, with his left foot under his shoulder. He held the blade at waist level with his left hand close to his left hip and his right hand lower than it and to the right, pointing his blade at an angle downwards. This stance was awkward for him, but he was alright with it, the other stance was worse though.

It was simple, he didn't switch his grip, he didn't change his hand positions on the hilt, he just moved his feet so his left foot was forward and his right foot is back. His left hand moved the hilt so his left hand was inline with his right, and his right hip, while his right hand was still lower than his left, keeping the blade pointed downwards.

This stance was strange and hard to keep up, keep, he felt so bunched up in that position, but his hands were still steady. His master gave a nod of approval and Azazel continued to hold the stance until his master had gave him a full look up and down to search for any flaws.

Kasumigakure no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Kasumigakure no Kamae , A stance that is completely different than that of all the others. The footing is different than any other stance, the posture is completely different as well. The user will start in the basic form where one leg would be further forward from the body of the user while the other leg would be along the back of the body. The user would turn sideways by keeping this same form, and slide the back leg further backwards. As the user does this the user takes the time to raise his arms up in a defensive manner as the blade of the sword is pointing upwards. The sword is slightly higher than that of the user's head as they hold one arm along the front end of the hilt, and the other hand holding the back end of the hilt.

The second last stance he would need to learn. This stance was different from the rest, it was awkward and hard to hold, so his teacher decided to employ new methods of training for this one.

Azazel Got into the L stance, his left leg forward and his right leg back, with his feet still even with his shoulders. He had to turn his body 90 degrees to the right, keeping his abs tight and his breath in. He lifted his blade up, a few inches above his eyes, and held the hilt horizontally. His left hand crossing in front of him, but not obstructing his vision, his right hand holding close to the guard like he was taught to do.

This position strained his muscles, but it was the small teacups on his biceps and shoulders, the single one on his heat and each one on his feet that ruined him. If he spilled a drop, he would have to hold the position for three hours straight, and for every extra drop spilled, it would be another hour.

His hands were trembling after the first hour, but he held strong, he kept quiet and still. He would master all these stances if it was the last thing he did.

Muso no Kamae, Uranami no Kamae, Roppo Kuji no Kamae and Dato no Kamae
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Four basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Muso no Kamae , Uranami no Kamae , Roppo Kuji no Kamae , Dato no Kamae , This stance is four in one. Each one is slightly different in some sort of way, but the legging position, the position where their balance will stay pure will always be the exact same. What is used within this stance is for mostly attack style forms. Each stance is different in its own way as each is same in every way as well. The feet for all four stances are the same. The user's left leg, or right leg will be forward and the knee would be bent in almost a ninety degree form. The back leg will be placed far back, about a foot or two past the shoulder along the upper body. For Muso no Kamae their hands are upwards holding their sword as the forward arm that is the same as the leg as it is holding the end of the sword. The user holds the front end of the sword with the other arm. The sword is then pointing towards the back of the body as the blade is pointing upwards. The sword is rested gently against the bicep of the back arm as the user holds the sword carefully. For Uranami the user keeps the sword along their chest area as it is pointing backwards of the body. The sword is pointing downwards slightly as the upper body is slanted forward. The Roppo Kuji holds the sword the same way as the sword is more slanted almost touching the ground. The sword is pointing backwards as well, and the user keeps the blade downwards. The final position is the Dato no Kamae is slightly more different than that of the others. What occurs is that the user holds the sword up high in the air with the back arm as the arm is held straight backwards away from the body.

Azazel would learn the final stance set today. He stood in the large dojo, standing across from his master. Azazel was comfortable in his robes, and his socks didn't slip on the straw mat floor like one would expect. Azazel was quite sure he shouldn't be using a live blade, but if it was just for practice, it should hardly matter. Azazel drew the sword, and held it at his side, withthe tip pointing down towards the ground.

"Do as I do." His master said to him before falling into the first stance, and waiting for Azazel to follow. And Azazel did follow, moving his left leg forward, sliding his feet across the mat, and his right leg went backwards, his heel leaving the mat and his leg bending at almost ninety degrees.

"This, Azazel, will be the basic footing for the next variations, Such as Muso no Kamae." His master told him as he lifted up his sword. Azazel did the same; his left hand held the end of the hilt while his right hand acted as it's support at the front of the hilt. The blade pointed away from the direction Azazel was facing, as well as resting lightly on his right bicep. His master paused for a good minute before moving to the next position.

"Uranamino no Kamae." Azazel followed his master's lead and brought he blade down close to his waist, his left hand still near the end of the hilt, but this time holding it with the back of his hand skyward, and the right hand gripping the hilt with the back of that hand facing the earth. The blade remained on the right side, but it was now pointing more towards the ground.

"Roppo Kuji no Kamae." This was one Azazel could get used to. He felt so streamlined and fast, and he wasn't even moving. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and the tip of the blade was nearly touching the ground with the edge pointing downward. Both hands gripped the hilt, his left near the end and his right near the guard as though he was ready to swing the blade upwards and cleave through whatever was in his path.

"And finally, Dato no Kamae." Azazel had to admit though, he felt a bit silly lifting the blade high above his head with just his right hand, and his left hand fully extended outwards in front of him in some odd punching motion. His master seemed to find it okay though, so Azazel's opinion was irrelevant.

His master decided that now he knew the stances one way, he needed to learn them the other way. Azazel was of course curious what he meant by the other way, so he was told quite simply that he needed to be ambidextrous. His first reaction was that being fucking impossible, how the hell would he use his sword as well as he could with his left hand. Oh of course, practice.

Azazel took his first position with Muso no Kamae, standing with his legs in the proper position and the sword in the awkward position, resting on his bicep. His master walked around him with a stick of bamboo in his hands to tap certain points on his body that needed to me shifted like his back leg. The hell was to remain on the ground, and the toes were to be pointed outwards to allow him to keep the leg bent, but have his entire foot on the floor.

He slid his back foot forward, and turned his front foot to the side, mirroring the stance he had just been in. His right hand was now in place of his left, as his left was in place of his right. The same formula continued with each stance. It was like Azazel was doing a dance, sliding across the mat, slowly twisting the blade around him with each step in fluid motions. Whent he final stance came, and his master made his corrections, he placed a cup on Azazel's outstretched fist, and another on his knuckles that held the blade high above his head.

"What's this...?" He asked as another went on his shoulder, and another on his head. The cups were hot, so he could only imagine how hot the contents were.

"A way for you to practice..." His master said with an evil smile. "Don't move, or the cups will burn you. And don't spill a drop." And then he was gone, quick as a flash. Azazel was left standing alone in the dojo, covered in cups like he was a tea rack. "W-wait! I have to pee!"

Special: Rat, Ram, Tiger, extension of one hand

The desert was hot, burning like his soul. The stretching sands scorched by the sun was much like his will; burning and never ending. It was about time he took his soul and used it as he was meant to. His parents didn't want him being a ninja, but they still respected the clan's rule of teaching all uchiha the great fireball technique. Azazel may not be able to take his place among great uchiha ninja, but he would be a great warrior, and the sun would guide him there.

As class with the master was over, he had free time to himself like he always did, so he decided that he would master the art of fire in between classes. Of course, dedicated training would be better, but he had no choice in the matter; stealing his mother's fire scroll wasn't the best idea either.

Azazel stood in his secret place outside the city limits, hidden from sight in the valley between four hills of sand, away from prying eyes. With the scroll draped across a rock on the west hill, he faced east towards the direction the sun would rise. The jutsu he would be learning today is called Fire Bolt Technique. Pretty simple idea, just shoot a fire bolt from one's hand. Easy enough.

Azazel formed the hand seals, twisting them into Rat, Ram and then Tiger. Azazel was forced to repeat the process several times, hand seals not exactly being his forte, and ninjutsu even less. But he persisted none the less. Rat Ram Tiger, over and over again until they burnt into his scull.

His chakra heated up, his will, and his very soul providing the strength to make his chakra light, not Red but blue. The strength of a flame, but with the calmness and focus of a river. He felt the chakra light around his right hand, glowing with a beautiful strength that made his heart leap. The fire curled around his hand and to his palm, his own power warming his skin as it condensed into a ball of swirling blue fire.

The flame wouldn't be contained though, it couldn't. It started to wound him for trying to contain such power, and Azazel knew too well what could happen if he didn't let the flame be, if he didn't release it. Azazel, with his palm outstretched towards the east hill, focused his chakra, heating it and adding it to the blue swirling mass that sat in his palm, before releasing it all in a one foot diameter ball.

It flew through the air, crackling and hissing as it moved. It crashed into the hill with a decently sized explosion for what it was originally made from. Sand scattered in all directions into a yellow cloud. Azazel smiled at it as it settled to the ground. For what was called a 'D Rank Jutsu', it was quite good.

Fire Style: Inferno Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots small gout of flame towards the opponent.
Special: Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger
Drawback: Requires the user to exhale and keep their dominant hand cupped over their mouths. Once the user is out of breath of moves their hand, the technique falls.
Description: The user performs the handseals, energizing their hand and their esophagus with chakra. The user then cups their hand over their lips and exhales. The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.

More fire. Azazel was starting to understand how much he truly had to learn, and how far he would have to go. Through all of his training, and all of his hardships, he was only scratching the surface. And he loved it. The idea that he had so far to go, and so much to train, was like some sort of drug that made his heart race and his soul burn with the urge to get stronger because no destination was truly as great without the journey there.

And so, the Inferno Technique would mark the beginning of his journey towards becoming a master of fire, and becoming a great Uchiha. Even the seals weren't enough to hold him back from his goal, albeit there weren't many seals, just Ox Money Rabbit and Tiger to unleash his burning chakra.

Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger. His fingers made the four seals, and his chakra responded to the motions of his hands, like the keys to a great vault, and he felt his chakra reach up to excape him. He molded it with ease around his index finger, middle finger, and thumb, and heated the chakra there to almost a burning point like the flame release required.

Azazel inhaled the warm midday air, filling his lungs with the fuel that would power his will and unleash his flame. His chakra inside his lungs acted on the air, empowering it, enriching it as though the oxygen levels were increased even more. It would be the flame. With a final inhalation to top of his lungs, he was ready.

Just like with Goukakyou no jutsu, the feeling of the air leaving his lungs, and reacting with the chakra around his right hand was exhilarating. The flames burnt a great blue as they left his mouth, and the heat from it warmed his face and hands. It shot out in a long blue stream that reached out ten feet towards the east hill to try and scorch the yellow sands as the Fire Bolt had. This technique's range was much to limited to be anything but a surprise attack, but that would be good enough for him.

Housenka no Jutsu - Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique
Rank:C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user is able to blow small balls of fire that can conceal projectiles to damage the opponent.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: The user performs a few quick handseals as they quickly take the same concept as that of the Goukakyuu no Jutsu. The user then spits out or hurls out up to five small sized fireballs towards the enemy. Each fireball creates massive amounts of burns but does not burst forth in an explosion. As each fireball makes contact with something, they spread out the fire creating a more of an area effect within the fire. The user is capable of using this technique in conjunction with multiple secondary weapons such as kunai or shuriken. The opponent is incapable of noticing the projectiles until the fire is extinguished in mid air. This technique is used typically to hide or to be used as a diversion for more of a powerful technique. As a D ranked ninja, the user is able of shooting 5 balls of fire. After the user goes up a difficulty class, they are capable of shooting 5 more fireballs.

Azazel the fire starter. He would make sure everything about him could light a flame, even his breath. He's already proven his worth with the Inferno technique, but it was time to move th greater things. And something that had always caught his eye was the Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique. It was so similar to Goukakyou no jutsu, Azazel felt like he had mastered it already.

The practice was the same. The breathing exorcises he had been taught would be extremely important, for one must have discipline when wielding flames. The fire sucks away oxygen, and without proper breathing control, one coudl suffocate on their own technique. Azazel believed this could also be a fundamental in the wind release, although it never truly interested him.

It was the breathing that was important, and that's what he did. Azazel sat in the sand and breathed. His lungs expanding and pulling in air in through his nose and releasing it through his mouth. The oxygen gathering inside his body with each breath, and being released once his body was done with it.

His breath didn't come out as simply 'warm', like a normal person's would. For with him, each breath was hot. When he breathed in through his nose, the cool air flooding down his throat was rapidly being heated by his chakra that lined his esophagus, and it was warm before it even reached his lungs.

But when it did reach that inferno, the chakra in them heated up the air to an uncomfortable level. But Azazel was becoming used to that feeling. The feeling of the heat rushing back up his throat and leaving through his mouth, Where the chakra around his fingers would lite the now chara enriched air. This was the basis for all breathing related fire jutsu, or so his mother said, and with it he would learn the Mystical Fire Phoenix Technique

The chakra was as a weight on his chest as it seeped into his lungs, seeking to constrict his breathing like a python would to it's prey. His chakra flooded his lungs to mingle with the air the filled them, to heat it and to make it as much a part of him as his own beating heart, or his own flowing blood. Simple breathing exercises quickly changed into the preliminary stages of the technique.

Heating his lungs wasn't the only thing to do though, the second stage was to make it so it would ignite with the chara on his hands, and that was no simple matter. He had to heat, and then make it react when it came into contact with his basic chakra. Not a simple task by any means, the chakra in his lungs was simply one half to the true fire release, and the chakra on his hand would be the other.

Azazel could not allow their union just yet, however, for he first needed to know the hand seals for the jutsu he was about to attempt to preform. Twelve of them. Same amount as Goukakyou no jutsu, but not the same ones unfortunately. Never the less, he would preform them over and over until he had them just as burned into his mind as Goukakyou no jutsu was.

His fingers twisted and bent into the awkward positions of the zodiac, the same zodiac that he came to learn controlled his chakra flow, and allowed him to manipulate it with greater ease. Such a spiritual thing had such control over such a literal force; quite astounding. Azazel didn't let his fascination get in the way of his training though, and his fingers kept moving over and over again through the seals until he reached the point where he could do them without thinking of each individual one.

At that point he found himself to be ready for the true flame to emerge, so once more his hands made the seals. This time, his chakra welled up inside of him, nad gushed into his lungs as he took a deep breath.

The chakra in his lungs and the air trying to occupy the same space felt as though they had already lit ablaze. It was all Azazel to do to simply keep it contained, let alone controlled. But he'd need it controlled if he didn't feel like exploding in a blaze of blue fire. His eyes matched that fire, glowing and flickering with the power and the resolve to succeed with this technique.

His hand curved like he was holding a small cup; his little finger completely curled in and his ring finger half curved, while his middle and index were close together and nearly touching the thumb that paralleled them.

Chakra formed in the gap between the thumb and index fingers, like a pilot light to a flamethrower. This was truly heated to the point where it would burn if it was in a higher quantity, and that would be the air he would exhale.

Azazel felt that he was ready. The chakra was on his hands, and in his lungs, and ready to be spat back out. IT was to be in a form he'd never done before though, small orbs of flame, but if he was right then it wouldn't be to difficult to do, simply breath out in pulses.

Azazel took a final breath to top up, and then breathed out, still facing east, and the fire flowed freely from his lips. The gas was lit flawlessly by the chakra between his fingers and the blue flame began to shoot out. Azazel then held his breath, cutting of the flow, and what he had breathed out formed together naturally into a single ball of fire that rocketed over the sands and struck the east hill, scattering it's chakra rich essence over it to continue to burn.

He breathed out again, and another ball of fire followed the first, and then another followed the second, and so on until five were sent forward, causing a field of the blue flames to stretch across the hill of yellow sand. Azazel took another breath, refilling his lungs after the assault they had taken from being overheated. He was probably late for home, but he really asn't in much of a rush... unless mom was home...
