Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

The master led him to the middle of a forest nearby the dojo and became determined on improving Zel's reflexes and reaction skills in accordance to learning the Senbon Taitoku techniques. Master Akio hid himself quite well upon entering the forest, and Zel was left alone in a clearing, standing there and trying to focus his senses for the surprise attack that could come at any moment. He started by calming his breathing, because, for some reason, it had grown a little panicked. He had to learn how not to be overly anxious about being attacked. He had to take it in stride and focus on how to avoid being harmed. So he started with the most basic of senses- his hearing. He took a couple of deep breaths and focused on that one thing, enhancing his hearing capability and paying attention to the little sounds that were emitted throughout the forest.
There were the chirps of birds, the croaks of frogs, a light drizzle pounding against the surface of a wide leaf, the leaves atop a tree being rustled with the whistling wind. He kept his mind open and aware to these things, trying to discern which was nature and which was his predator in the shadows. While he kept this enhanced skill on autopilot, he moved on to the next sense- his vision. His eyes opened wide, and he slowly began to scan the area in front of him. Every little detail went into account, every form of movement gone noticed. Even the shadows were taken as a threat, and he slightly turned around to watch his own back when he concluded his front side was covered. But as he turned there, a rustle of leaves exploded in front of him. He rapidly turned forward and prepared himself accordingly, ready to dodge or counter any attack given- to the best of his ability.
But there was nothing, and Zel was forced to track down and follow the sounds of somebody rustling through the surrounding forest. He couldn't keep up for a moment, Master Akio wasn't easy to detect after all, but he managed to turn slightly each time he managed to pick up a sound. That could at least provide some form of defense against an impending attack, but he needed to up his senses in order to track down Master Akio. This meant he had to direct his attention to one, more than the other. If he was an Inuzuka, he'd be able to tap into his sense of smell and probably finish this thing, but he wasn't, so he'd have to rely on his sense of sound to track down his enemy in training. He closed his eyes, a dangerous maneuver but one that would help him in his endeavor, and his world went black. With this darkness, the sounds echoed clearly in his mind. Then he heard it.
Master Akio leaped for the attack with senbon in hand, approaching from behind and trying to catch Zel by surprise. Zel would quickly open his eyes and react accordingly, spinning around with the heel of his foot and pushing off with the other. He would soon find himself facing Akio, but jumping backwards to avoid his deadly senbon attack. Whether this reaction was successful or not, and whether the senbon did in fact pierce his torso, would be discovered in the coming few seconds.
