"For now however that little mistake of yours is fine. I want to teach you how to break through a weak defense of an opponents wether it be a taijutsu defense or a ninjutsu defense." Saigoto was excited for this now he could feel this would be a stronger technique then that which he has learned so far considering with this he would be able to break through weaker defenses. "To start with sense your a ninja I want you to build some sort of defensive structure for me. Something thats at least a little strong." Saigoto nodded and walked towards the middle of the room and began forming a few hand seals. He would then reach down and place his hands on the ground. A wooden wall would rise up. This technique was one Saigoto had learned just before the group left their village.

"Not bad kid okay now I want you to stand back." Saigoto took a few steps back as the master had instructed him to do. Saigoto watched in awe as the master took up the basic stance and stood for a second what seemed like he was gathering some chakra. As he did this Saigoto watched taking note of every little thing the master did. His breathing patterns the way he prepared himself in the stance they way he watched the defense Saigoto had just put up like he was expecting someone to throw an attack out from behind it. The master took the scythe and began a very wide swing raiseing the scythe far above his head. As the scythe came down and made contact with the wall a loud boom could be heard and the wall seemed to shatter in front of the master. if not for the loud boom Saigoto would have figured it to be just due to the masters sheer strength that he took down the wall.

Saigoto watched as the blade kept going. Straight threw his wall and stopping just before it struck the ground. Saigoto was awestruck. Was this man truly human. Or was he just that skilled with a scythe. He took a few steps back and looked at Saigoto. Who was standing their awestruck. He couldnt believe someone to be able to break through his defenses so easily. Yet here the master did it. Saigoto almost lost it. All that training into a technique to watch it be destroyed so easily. Saigoto began to form the handseals once more however his master stopped him. "No not yet" he said walking over placeing a hand on the boys shoulder. "First you need to master the swing of this technique. Only then will I allow you to actually begin trying it on a defense. Saigoto sighed. He was getting rather sick of being held back and not being able to train his own ways but that was the way it was to be.

Saigoto took up his basic stance. His feet shoulder length apart his scythe butt end laying on the ground crossing his body at about a thrirty degree angle. His breathing controled and silent. He prepared himself to get the swing of the attack just perfect. "Remember it has to be absolutly straight above your head directly vertical without that you will lack the power behind the strike for the kill." Saigoto nodded swinging the sword far behind him and then bringing it up above his head. He thought he managed to keep the scythe perfectly straight but according to the kick to the back of his left leg which crumpled under the pressure he was wrong. Saigoto stood back up. "Vertical not diagional." Saigoto sighed. Yeah easier said then done. He thought to himself. But none the less he would just have to try again.

Saigoto remained in his stance and prepared himself to try again. Keeping his back straight closing his eyes and focusing imaging his body standing there in front of something. Keeping his body perfectly straight like a wall. He would then imagine where he would need to keep his hands for a straight downward strike such as this. As he rotated the scythe behind him he would have to let go with one hand and raise it above his head to meet the other. Grabbing on towards the bottom he would have to then bring the scythe down with all his might. Saigoto imagined his body doing that and so as he kept his eyes closed and actually went to do it he was surprised when a sharp pain began in his ears also hearing a loud ringing noise. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SLEEPING" the master would yell in his ear. He was really getting annoying. He was almost as bad as Kysuugi..... Almost.

"I'm trying to visualize myself doing the swing and then bring myself to do it." The master grunted and got down low to put his face infront of Saigotos. He was not the greatest looking man either and with the angry look on his face he didnt look to happy. "I ever catch you wielding a weapon with your eyes closed again I will kill you myself do you understand that." Saigoto gulped and then nodded. He didnt mean to anger his master. "I dont care if you close your eyes to visualize." The master said this waving his hand over his shoulder as he said it. "Just dont actually start swinging until you open your eyes understood" Saigoto nodded once more. "Okay then get back to work" Saigoto didnt bother nodding as the master turned around.

Saigoto once more straightened up. This time not closeing his eyes but still imaging his body standing perfectly straight like a plank. As he did this the master pulled out a drink and began to have a sip. Why was Saigoto paying attention to this he needed to focus on his training. Saigoto began finally His scythe seemed to rotate around his body with a full wide swing coming around and above his head from behind with a rather decent speed to. Saigoto kept it going bringing the scythe down and slamming the blade of the scythe into the floor of the dojo. Saigoto freaked out. He knew he would be hit again. He quickly ripped the Scythe out of the ground. Hopefully the master wouldnt notice. "Don't worry kid happens all the time" the master said over from his side. Thank god he hopefully wouldnt be hit now.

Saigoto had brought his scythe back to his side. "Not bad kid. Now we need for you to focus your charka at the end of the scythe blade for this next part." Saigoto worried about this. Forming chakra at the end of his scythe blade. Through an inanimate object. That would prove to be quite difficult. He had only ever focus chakra inside his own body and at the ends of his limbs. But doing it through the scythe. That was going to prove quite difficult. "How do I do that" Saigoto was confused. He had released chakra into other things before like the earth. But never had he had to do it and then focus it in one single spot. "Try not to think of the scythe as something your holding think of it like your channeling chakra to the end of your hands or your feet" Saigoto sighed. He had a feeling this was going to prove a little more difficult then he thought.

Saigoto Held the scythe in his hands stareing at the blade. Holding the blade he began to sit down cross legged on the floor. The master just stared at him. He was going to say something but he wasnt sure if he should. Saigoto placed the scythe in his lap. Keeping both hands on the scythe the boy closed his eyes. He began to close out everything else in the world around him. He started with the major things the lights in the dojo around him. The sound of his master drinking some sort of beverage. From there he continued to cancel out things around him. The next things to go were some of the harder to notice things. The sound of his breathing he canceled out however he still breathed just a lot quieter and a lot less. He began to focus his chakra at his hands. Just a small amount at first. He would first practice sending a small amount to the tip of the blade at first. If that worked then he would move on to larger quantities.

The boys chakra would steady in his hands as he prepared himself. Slowly but surely his grip would slightly titen on the scythes handle as he would begin to let a little bit of chakra flow into the handle. He would try to merge it with the blade. at first he could feel the chakra just escaping from his hands. He would need to focus on the handle more. His mind would erase all thoughts. The only thing on his mind would be the handle of the scythe and making it an extension of himself. If he moved the scythe would move with him. If he was channeling chakra through his body the scythe would become one with his body. He could do this he just knew he could. Now it was just a mater of how long it would take him to get it. As the boy focused he would begin pushing with his chakra trying to fine point its palce of exit soley from the part of his hands touching the scythe. With a little bit of luck and a little bit of practice soon he should be able to get the chakra to merge with the metal of the scythe.

He focused on the palms of his hand that were touching the cold metal of the scythe. The palms would be the focus point of where his chakra would merge with the scythe handle and hopefully slowly move to the tip of the blade. Releasing a steady flow of chakra the chakra would begin to finally start mergeing with the handle. The chakra would move slowly throughout the handle however. He began to try moving the chakra up throughout and up into the blade. The small amount of chakra he had inside of it so far seemed to move rather slowly. Saigoto decided to push a little harder with it trying to force its way up however the chakra responded by just escaping from within.

Saigoto didnt like that. He began to push a little more chakra into it. This time instead of moving a clump of chakra he would use enough chakra to slowly snake its way up the handle and to the blade. The chakra would merge with the handle a little more swiftly this time however it still was moving along very slowly. Saigoto had managed to get it about half way up towards the blade when suddenly he lost his focus letting the sound of the master moving around dirstract him and he let the chakra flow from the handle of the blade. Saigotos eyes openned and he looked over in the direction of the master. A glare was more like it the master looked back. "don't you look at me like that." he said with a angry look on his face.

Saigoto went back to drowning out the sounds of the world around him and went back to focusing solely on the blade. That was all that existited right now. Thats all Saigoto needed in this world was his scythe. Without his scythe he would be incapable of doing anything. He would continue to release chakra into the handle of the blade. He would just have to keep at it. He released his chakra from his hands steadily into the blade. Building up a little more momentum every passing minute as he did this. He would also continue to make more and more progress. Soon he had the chakra just at the base of the blade. However it still wasnt in the right spot. He had made it this far however and he would not be giving up now. All he had to do now was push the chakra a little bit further and then swell the chakra up at the very tip of the blade. From there the master would instruct him on what to do next.

However those were all thoughts that the young apprentice should not be worrying about just yet. He still had to focus his chakra in the blade first. He couldnt lose focus anymore either. That would just disrupt him and waste time. time was one thing Saigoto lacked. All he wanted was to become the strongest and as fast as he could to. He didnt care about the inbetween which was why this was so important. He kept pushing with his chakra releasing the steady flow from his hands into the handle and then continuing up the handle. He would have to keep this chakra flowing. He did well at it to. He gripped the handle just a little tighter and decided to increase the flow of chakra. it was kinda like opening a valve to let more water through. He kept his chakra pushing through the handle going staight up to the blade.

The blade seemed to be alot more receptive to the chakra. Or Saigoto was just getting more use to the idea and the act of forcing chakra through an an inanimate object and gathering it all at one point. He decided to move the chakra against the sharp edge of the blade. he chakra moved along swiftly and quite well in. Saigoto sighed. This was taking far to long but hopefully the effects of the technique would be well used in his arsenal. The chakra moved swiftly until finally. He could feel a decent amount of chakra gathering towards the end of the blade. at the very tip where if it continued going it would go outside of the scythe. Saigoto stood up looking at his master. "I can gather the chakra their what do i need to do now" The master grinned looking at the young pupil. "Now comes the hard part."

"What do you mean now will be the hard part" Saigoto asked confused as he stood up holding his scythe in his right hand. "What I mean now is that all that chakra you have built up so far into that blade of yours. you need to make it explode when it first strikes something and I mean with enough force to tear down defensive structures. As well ontop of that you have to get it to happen before the tip of the blade strikes the defensive wall that way the scythe cans still travel through and strike the opponent on the opposite side of the defensive structure they built for themselves. Most of the time" He paused with a wicked grin on his face. "They will never see it coming." Saigoto felt a sudden overwhelming feeling. Like this might just be to much for him. It was either that or he was getting a crazy vibe from his master. He couldnt tell which it was. But he was pretty sure it was the overwhelming feeling.

Saigoto took up his stance. Hs master now moving beside him. "First things first I want you to focus on getting that chakra of yours to explode. It needs to be a large enough explosion to destroy whatever is standing in your scythes path. Weather it be wood water or rock you gotta break through it. So first things first." The master held out his own staff infront of him. "I want you to just focus on the chakra at the tip and making it explode. You need to focus a large amount of chakra there and then when the time comes make it expand outwards violently. Once you accomplish that we will move onto the part of making the whole technique complete. Saigoto nodded and held his staff vertically in front of him. He would begin by sending wave after wave of chakra into his scythe. Gathering there until he could get a feel that he had a good amount. enough for the type of explosion both him and the master would be looking for to be satisfied with it.

Saigoto could feel the chakra gathered there. just when he felt like he had the required amount he let it all go from the tip of the scythe. However instead of hearing a loud boom and feeling any force behind it. all they heard was a tiny farting type of noise from the chakra. The master busted out laughing Saigoto stareing at him an evil look in his eyes. The master ignored him and kept laughing. He would have to try again. He pushed out with his chakra this time trying to gether a much larger amount. maybe this time when he went for the explosive power he was looking for he would get more of an explosion and less of a disgrace. Saigoto pushed as hard as he could this time with his chakra. He was pushing a large amount of chakra out. In all honesty Saigoto could not believe how much chakra he was pushing out. it felt like he would drain himself completly if he kept this up for to long. so instead of doing that he decided to let the chakra he had there now explode.

As he caused the necessary friction and outward force with his chakra that he desired he regretted it soon afterwards. The chakra exploded all right but he poured way to much chakra into it. The explosion that resulted afterwards had a huge knock back affect. Both Saigoto and the master were forced backwards across the room almost a good ten feet. Saigoto still holding onto his scythe. He was not about to drop it again. However at this point he didnt seem to care to much as the master had gotten up a furious look on his face. "If you ever do that again i will make you regret it YOU UNDERSTAND ME YOU LITTLE BASTARD" Saigoto nodded. He understood completely. He definably did now want that to happen.

Saigoto decided it would be best to just drop the topic and go back to his training. he wasnt to sure if the master would let him but Saigoto didnt seem to care. He continued to pour chakra into his blade. This time however at a slower pace then before for a lot less of an amount. He decided to try about in between his last two attempts. He wasnt to sure how that would work out but he would never know until he tried. When Saigoto reached the desired amount he looked at his master letting him know that he was going to try and get the explosion just right this time. The master nodded and took a few steps back as to try and avoid the impeding failure at the technique he was going to try. The pupil however could feel the difference this time and knew he would get it just right. If not he would for sure one hundred percent get it right the next try. He focused hard and long until finally he was ready.

He let the chakra expand outwards violently but not so violently it would affect himself or the master. The master seemed almost pleased watching the explosion. The explosion would go off creating a small shock wave from within expanding outwards if there was anything in the way of that explosion chances are it would have been destroyed. Saigoto grinned as he felt the small shock wave push his clothing snug against his skin. The master to looked pleased and walked over to saigoto. "Okay here is what you have to work on next."

__________________________________________________

"Do you remember the technique I taught you before the minori Sou?" his master asked. Saigoto thought for a moment he had learned so much today that he didnt quite remember everything he had learned. Well to be more precise the boy didnt remember the names of all of them. His head tilted downwards and his hand came to his chin. "Yes" the boy responded "the spinning attack" Saigoto said looking up at the master. The master nodded as to show that he was right. "Correct now then that is a basic attack however it is simple a start to a much larger and deadlier combo moves." Saigoto was rather interested now. He needed more offensive techniques and this might just be the one for him. The master moved in front of Saigoto holding his scythe to one side. The master began spinning the scythe as such a high rate of speed Saigoto could hardly believe it. The master began running forward. As he approached the same pillar he had used before that had many layers of rope wrapped around it. He started with the minori sou cutting through the pillar once. After that he placed both hands on the scythe and cut diagonally through the pillar with a much greater force then the attack that was before it.

Saigoto was amazed. The pillar looked to be completly cut in half yet it seemed to still be standing. Saigoto stood there in awe as his master turned around begining to spin his scythe again. The master slowed it down so Saigoto could see. "Normaly the minori sou is a spinning attack meant to confuse the opponent as to where the attack will come from." he demonstrated this by moving the scythe around his body. "After initially strikeing the opponent with this technique you should be able to catch them offguard and then useing the follow up attack." He showed Saigoto by grabbing the scythe handle with both hands and doing a diagonal cut slowly to emphasis its importance. "This attack is meant to put a deep gash across the chest of the opponent. If done correctly you should almost always land a hit however if the minori sou misses" he paused "expect this attack to miss or not do as much as the opponent will probly catch on to it" Saigoto nodded in acknowledgment The master stood up straight. "allright then its your turn to try" Saigoto walked forward a little bit. Begining to spin his scythe. He would walk towards the pole the scythe picking up in speed as he walked. The master watched intently.

Saigoto reached the pole and as soon as he did he swung the scythe at the pole with the scythe still spinning at a rapid pace. As the scythe spun through the air headed towards the pole the boys intent was to keep the scythe spinning as it passed through the passed through the pillar. However as the scythe fell downwards it struck the pole sticking inside of it. It cut the pillar quite well however he would not be able to perform the follow up with the scythe stopping the spin. "again" his master said from behind him. Saigoto grunted and nodded yanking the scythe from the pillars grasp taking a few steps back. Maybe this would be a little bit harder then he intended. The scythe rested in his hands and he began the spinning motion for the scythe once more. The scythe would move nimble like through his hands picking up speed as it danced. Saigoto prepared himself mentally for another failure and physically for a kick to the back if he failed again.

The scythe hurled through the air as Saigoto began walking forward at a decent pace. The scythe would pick up speed. Saigoto could fell it this time he would keep the scythe spinning as it struck through the pillar of wood and rope. The scythe began its last downward decent as he attempted to slash through the wood however he was met with a loud thud and a quick halt to his scythes spinning. The force radiated through his scythe and into his hands. His hands got the instant feeling of being numb and he almost dropped his scythe if not for the quick reaction to grab hold of it again. He looked towards where the scythe should have slashed into the pillar only to see that there was no blade at that end of the scythe. His eyes quickly changed direction without his head turning to look towards the other end to see that there was the blade pointing behind him and into the air a little. Saigoto flinched as he knew what was coming next.

A swift kick was delivered to his head sending the scythe clattering to the floor and saigotos head spinning as he was thrown to the floor sliding across it a good 5 feet. Grunting to get up he saw the master very angry and pissed off. "How do you strike it with the blunt end of the scythe and then drop it afterward are you fucking joking. You are no disciple of mine." Saigoto flinched at those words and then watched as the master left the room. This was the first time the master had left him alone. Saigoto dwelled on the words of he was no disciple of his. Saigoto walked back over to his scythe and picked it up. He didnt need a master to teach him anything. He would learn this by himself. he had allready seen how it was done. All Saigoto would need was to try by himself for a little bit without having to worry about being kicked or his for something so stupid.

Saigoto looked at the pillar once more. A sense of failure over flowing him and for once in his life he felt discouraged to even try. saigoto. Was he really no good at this. Was all his training so far for nothing. No he refused to think that. His grip on the scythe tightened as he began twirling the scythe through the air. He would get this technique no matter what. Even if he had to strike down the master to prove it he would learn this technique. The scythe continued to twirl through the air the scythe spinning at an alarmingly fast rate. He focused purely on the spina nd began to move towards the pillar. The boy clinched tighter as he continued to spin the scythe. "I will get this" he yelled as he spun the scythe as fast as he could moving it forward to slice through the pillar. With that Saigoto watched as a large gash appeared in the pillar. The scythe still twirling between his nimble hands as he grinned. "Time for part two" he said as he kept the scythe spinning.

Now all he would need to focus on was the diagonal slash after the minori sou had struck the opponent and he had managed to keep the blade spinning. He would try to keep the blade spinning one more time just to be sure he had gotten it down just right. The scythe had continued to spin through the last slash so he figured to keep it going. He took a few steps back changed the angle from which he would attack this time and then began to move forward. As he did he slashed through the pillar once more the scythe still moving nimbly through his hands. He was proud of his progress so far. Now would be the next part. The scythe had just slashed through he had continued to keep the scythe spinning for a second time now. He gripped the handle with both hands firmly and quickly for on the next rotation he would try another diagonal strike this time aiming for something much more deep. A grin would appear on his face certain he would strike through the pillar covered with rope quite easily this time around.

With both hands firmly ont he handle he put a greater deal of force behind this swing with no intention on keeping the scythe moving after wards. He would pull the blade down as hard as he could. He would hear a loud thud as the blade would cut through the first few layers of the rope striking the wood that was hidden beneath the rope. He flinched hoping the master was not paying attention in the other room. Saigoto would have prepared for a strike to come his way had he still be in the room. Something along the lines of how do you make such fast progress and then fail so miserably. Saigoto was rather annoyed just thinking about what the master would say. "Your no disciple of mine" He mimicked the masters tone and sound but making it sound al ot more rude. "Please what does that asshole know. Saigoto grinned at the thought. His scythe still in his hand yanking it from the pillars grasp once more. He would have to do this and get it right. To prove his worthiness to the master. The thought that he had disappointed his master took over. "Who am I kidding I wouldnt ave made it this far without him" Saigoto Sighed. He pulled his scythe to his right side and began the spinning motion. "I have to do this" he said "I have to do this now" getting louder as he said it again. The scythes speed picked up to a crazy rate slashing through the air. One tiny screwup and saigoto could easily say goodbye to a limb. As the scythe danced and twirled he aimed at the Pillar. A smirk on his face as he cut through it keeping the scythe spinning. He grabbed hold of the handle with both hand useing as much force as he could muster. He was welcomed with another loud thud resonating threw the air and a strong vibration moving through the scythe. Saigoto sighed. He could really use some help now.

[Saigoto]

Just as Saigoto had thought that he needed the masters help the door slammed open and the master busted in. Now shirtless Saigoto could see the clearly ripped muscles of the master. No wonder his attacks his so hard. Saigoto couldn't believe how ripped this man was. Saigoto sighed. he was just waiting for the master to scold him. The master walked over to saigoto looming over him starring down at him. "Why are you still here huh kid" Saigoto looking up at him replied simply "Because I do not intend to quit." The master laughed at the kids response. Saigoto looked down. "allright lets see what you have done so far then kid." Saigoto looked up excited. "Okay I need your help." Saigoto took up his stance as the master took a few steps backwards. Saigoto took in a deep breath held it for a moment gathering his thoughts as his right foot shifted a little. Releasing his held breath he began the spinning of the scythe. The scythe spun rapidly and fluently through the air. Saigoto began moving forward at a semi fast pace. The scythe keeping up with him and picking up in speed.

As saigoto reached the pillar he slashed through it once witht he spinning motion keeping the spinning going as on the next revolution he grasped the scythe tightly and yanked it down with all his might. He hoped that maybe this time he would suceed and prove the master wrong or do a much better job infront of the master. As the scythe traveled through the air for what seemed like forever Saigoto prepared himself once more for failure. The scythe slashed into the pole and stuck once more. Not cutting across it but just stabbing into it. It might not have been so bad if that was the affect he was going for however it wasnt and he was rather annoyed with himself at this point. He yanked the scythe out from the pole and took a few steps back looking at the master. "Do you have any advice master kojik" A hope full look in Saigotos eyes. That was about all he could do at this point after failing the technique again for the third time in a row. The master thought for a second staring at the pole. Looking back at the kid then back at the pole. "I think I can help"

A smile crept across Saigotos face as the master said this. Saigoto watched intently as the master began to speak about the technique. "So this technique is kind of simple in theory. You begin by spinning your scythe and use it as a distraction for the first attack" Saigoto nodded he knew this all ready but he would let the master continue. "After that initial attack lands your opponent should be thrown off guard. Which would leave them open for the next attack which is what your doing now. Think of this move kind of like scratching someone. Using the tip of your blade you want to put downward pressure on the persons body and drag it as far as you can. This technique would never completely slice through someones entire body but through skin it can quite easily shred through skin." Saigoto nodded he was beginning to understand a little bit more. "this time when your try your second swing I want you to try and move backwards just a little bit to put some distance between yourself and the pole and then use the tip of your scythe to deal the actual damage. Saigoto nodded. He would accomplish the technique now. Or so he hopped.

The boy took up his stance closing his eyes and taking in a deep breath he would drown out the surrounding world until there was nothing besides Saigoto his scythe and the pillar. The pillar was his enemy and this time he would put a deep deep gash into it. If he did not accomplish it this time he would simply try again and again until he got the technique down perfectly. Releasing his held breath and opening his eyes his focus was on one thing tearing that pole to pieces and proving his master wrong and making him proud that Saigoto was his disciple.

He shifted his feet a little bit apart to get himself ready. His scythe was to his right side and he began twirling the scythe around throughout the air. The scythe started slow at first however it began to pick up speed as Saigotos breath picked up as well. The anticipation in the room was think. Would Saigoto be able to land the strike perfectly this time or would he have to try again. Only time would tell. He began moving forward towards the pillar the scythe having a decent speed this time. He approached and got closer. The scythe would make its final rotation as it sliced threw the rope with ease. Saigoto would take a slight step backwards leaning backwards as well a little bit to try and increase the distance between himself and the pillar. The scythe would rotate around his hands grasping it tight as the blade of the scythe would raise high into the air his hands grasping tight. He hoped he had put enough distance between them because here the attack was coming. He could feel the tip of the scythe strike the rope. With that he made a ripping motion with all his might dragging the tip of the scythe down and across the pillar until it reached about half way. Not the complete distance but close. A grin was on Saigotos face.

Special: ---
Drawback: The training of these techniques are unaffected by difficulty class.
Description: A training method designed to be used in conjunction with Sutatikku Nagare, this ability allows the user the capability of manipulating charges at a faster rate in order to more quickly polarize an object. The percentile rates work in a manner of seconds, meaning that if the user has not learned this ability, they can manipulate the number of charges in an object by 10% of total polarization in one second. In order to completely manipulate an object of the user's choice they must have 100% polarized it. This means that unlearned, it will normally take a Kyoudo ten seconds to get control over one object and for every time they learn this it will take one less second.

* D Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. Must be learned three times before the user is capable of learning the C Rank version.
* C Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. Must be learned three times before the user is capable of learning the B Rank version.
* B Rank allows for the user to manipulate charges 10% faster for each time that the technique is learned. May only be learned three times, which puts the user at 100%.

______________________________________________

Saigoto sighed. He was eoying this training greatly but he wanted to do some of his own training for a little while. This last little experience with his master reminded Saigoto of how much he liked to train on his own. He sighed and looked at the master. Explaining to him what he wanted. the master understood after giving the boy some crap about not wishing to train under him he nodded and showed saigoto a side room. As Saigoto entered the room he immediately pulled out two kunai. "time to get started" Saigoto said with a slight sigh. He placed the two kunai on the ground about a foot away from each other. After a short series of handseals his eyes changed. His chakra filled the room and he was ready to begin changeing the polarity of things in the room. The first thing would be to change the polarity of the kunai on the right.

His chakra would flow out of his body threw the field of chakra that surrounded him in the room and into the kunai. The chakra flowed smoothly and rapidly. It wouldn't be dangerously hard to change the polarity of the object he all ready had a basic understanding of the polarity of objects. However he was focusing on speed this time around. The Kunai was a relatively small object. Saigoto began the count down in his head. He was aiming for a total of 6 seconds this time around. As he slowly counted he could feel the chakra within his field was working. After he finished the counting in his head he had reached a full 7 seconds before he could feel satisfied that the kunai was effectively charged with a positive force.

He would have to try just a little bit harder. This time he would focus on the kunai to his left. This kunai he would get more of a reaction out of once he started changing its polarity to that of a positive charge as well. This one would visually shake and eventually snap into place practically hugging the other now magnetic kunai. This would give saigoto a more realistic idea of how fast he can change the polarity. Saigoto focused hard on the kunai slowly his chakra would begin to fill the chakra in the air and flow down to the kunai. He started counting. 1.... 2..... 3.... The kunai shook a little bit moving about on the ground. Saigoto grinned. 4.... 5.... The kunai budged ever so slightly towards the other then as soon as he hit 6 seconds the kunai then leaped into the air. But it was after he reached the 6 seconds that the kunai moved completely meaning he hadn't reached his full 100% charge in six seconds.

Saigoto sighed. maybe if he could just...... No that was negative thinking He would do this he could do this there was no other way around it. Saigoto knelt down on the ground he could do this almost easily in fact. Things should be that hard. He closed his eyes envisioning the two kunai on the ground that laid in front of him. Each one would have a yellow glow about them signifying they had a positive charge. Saigoto would now leak out a decent amount of chakra and watch it flow into the kunai on the left hand side of the two of them. The chakra would begin to envelop itself into the kunai. The light would begin to change from a yellow glow to a blue glow. The chakra would merge quickly almost as if he was doing this instantaneously. But in the back of his mind Saigoto knew how long it was taking he was counting.

Four seconds had passed by already. Which seemed like forever to him. The kunai began to slowly rotate already beginning to repel each other. 5 seconds and the kunai had separated slightly 6 seconds the kunai were still touching each other damn Saigoto had failed but he seemed to have made some progress because before he could get to 7 seconds flat the kunai repelled away from each other skidding across the hard wood floor. "Six and a half seconds" Saigoto said his eyes still shut. "I need to take off another half a second if I want to say im getting any better"

Saigoto grinned at the thought of becoming stronger better and faster. He wasn't it all. But most of all he wanted to be better. Better then The kage. Better then Kysuugi. And even more so better then Hoki. He hadn't seen Hoki in a while and he wondered if maybe he was doing the same thing Saigoto was and training off on his own. It would make sense. Saigoto had already watched the first and part of the second part of the exam. Saigoto sighed as he needed to focus again. The two kunai were now about 3 feet away from each other. Changing the one on the right to a negative charge now would make it so saigoto could pull them back together again.

Saigoto envisioned the two kunai once more. this time he would get the two to connect. The would be flying towards eachother in six seconds flat or else Saigoto would stay here until he could get it. He didnt want to belay his training with the master but right now this was top priority. Saigoto Let the chakra flow from his body and then The chakra would flow from his body swirling threw the air. He would get it this time. He knew he would. The chakra flowed into the kunai on his right hand side. The tellow light signifying to SAigoto in his mind would slowly begin to shift to a blue light. Slowly it seemed but in reality it was much quicker. Five seconds into changeing the polarity of the kunai and it had skid across the floor before finally at 6 seconds the kunai seemed to come to life and dragged itself accross the floor the other kunai doing the same until both of them collided and spun on the floor finally comeing to a stop.

Saigoto stood there for a brief second. Brushing his hair behind his ear as he focused on the two kunai that now lay motionless on the floor. This was all fine and dandy. However there were still multiple problems with his training so far. For one thing it took him way to long to change the polarity of an object. The second of which was that he could only change the polarity of one object at a time. Which both of those combined proved to be quite useless. At least in the ninja world it would. Saigoto thought for a second. Would it be better to continue working on the timing or maybe work on multiple objects at once. After a few short seconds of thinking about it he had decided that doing two objects at once would prove to be more beneficial at this point in time.

Saigoto kept his jutsu active however this time around he watched the kunai. If he could change both polarities to a negative charge at the same time he could do two objects at once without making them separate. Of course he would have to change both of them in the 6 seconds that he had worked so hard to achive so far. Which didn't seem like it would be to difficult right now. He had just worked on his timing now it would just be spreading it between to different objects easy right. The four white dots in his eyes seemed to strain as Saigoto stared. His ability beginning to work. He began a countdown in his head from 6. As he counted he began letting a steady flow of chakra come from his body into the kunai infront of him. Both kunai being filled with his chakra as he worked.

He was attempting to change each kunai to a negative charge. This would be a way he could get both charges to come together at the same time. Thus making it so that the kunai wouldn't move from each other they move slightly as they adjusted to the new charges but shouldn't separate. Saigoto reached about 4 seconds before the kunai on the right shot off across the room. Thumping against the wall and coming to a stop. "Charged it to fast" Saigoto said as he stood up walking to get the kunai that now was a good 8 feet away.

Saigoto walked back to the other kunai. Changeing the polarity of the one in his hand back to a posotive charge as he walked. He tossed it to the ground as he got back in his position. The two kunai colided together spinning until suddenly it came to a halt. Both kunai had a positive charge right now. All he had to do was fill each kunai up with chakra. Then work on changing them into positive charges. So what was he missing. It really shouldn't be this hard. He focused as suddenly his eyes changed. Looks like his time was up. It had only felt like 5 minutes sense he had activated his jutsu. Looks like that was not enough. That might be something to work on in the near future.

A few hand seals later he had his eyes back with the four white dots in his eyes. His field expanded throughout the room and outside of it. His eyes were focusing on the kunai. That was all there should be right now in the world. He released a small burst of chakra throughout his field and into the kunai. The chakra merged with the cold metal of the kunai easily enough. Almost like water pouring through a filter. He had done this so many times it was like breathing now. But he would have to keep working at it if he wanted anything good to come from it.

He stopped the chakra as it moved about in the kunai. Now came the tricky part. The positive charge would first have to be reverted to a neutral and then to a negative charge. He would have to accomplish all this in 6 seconds on both kunais if he were to achive his goal. He got to work letting his chakra do its thing as it began moving about within the kunai as it changed the polarity of the metal. The chakra seemed to be working fast. "^" he said out loud as he could see the kunai shaking already. He was charging the one ont he right way faster then the one on the left. "5" he said as the one on the left move drastically now only touching the kunai on the right by the handle.

As the kunai were now only touching each other by their handles Saigoto knew what this would mean. One second later his fear was correct. At Four Seconds the kunai completely separated shooting across the room with a insane force. The kunai colided with the walls on either side of the room before bouncing back and coming to a halt. Saigoto sighed. This was proving to be more difficult then he would like to admit. Changing both projectile to that of a polarity of the same at the same time was challenging. He didn't like this constant failure but the only thing he would have to do is get back up and try again. Saigoto collected both kunai. This time both of them would be changed to a negative charge. For some reason saigoto thought maybe it would be easier to change them to a positive charge. But regardless of how he looked at it they were just opposites of the same thing. Besides the fact of their effects both charges were the same for him to change to.

Saigoto placed the kunai on the ground about two feet away from him. His eyes would focus in on the kunai once more. He could feel the metal within his field. It was almost wierd being able to feel it in a sense. His chakra began to leak from his body shortly after the thought. Flowing through his field it would surround the kunai. The chakra would seem to slowly leak into the kunai as he did this. He would be determined to get it down this time. He would get both kunai to change their polarity at the same exact time and stay touching the whole time. If he didnt he was determined to spend the rest of the day on nothing but training. Regardless of what happened.

Saigotos chakra began to go to work on the two hunks of metal infront of him. Changing the polarity. This should be easy enough for him to accomplish. "Six" he said as he began his count down. "Five" So far was looking good. "four" even though the kunai began to shake here they didnt separate. "three" The kunai completely separated but Saigoto was determined and kept going. He had three seconds to change them completely before they were to far away from each other to come back together. "Two" he said as the kunais speed drastically changed they were now only about 2 feet away from each other and they were slowing down. "ONE" he yelled as they changed direction completely headed back towards each other coming to a thudding stop spinning together with each other.

Saigoto smiled it was not the exact result he was looking for but it worked. He needed to keep going though. With any luck on his next try the two kunai should never stop touching each other. But that was only if he was lucky. He would have to keep working harder and harder to improve himself more. The kunai were still infront of him. Both with a positive charge now the only thing left to do was to change them back to a negative charge for him to feel like he was doing this right. Later he would work on giving them two seperate charges. How he was going to work that one over he didnt know but he would figure something out.

His chakra would once more steadily begin to be released through the air and through his static field. This was starting to become rather dull seeing as how he was doing the same thing over and over again. He would have to find a more unique way of doing this training later on. Preferably even a more proficient way of doing this training in the future. Maybe one day he could find a master to train with him or even someone to teach him all sorts of technique he never would have thought off.

But that was all future talk the right here and now was calling to him. He released his chakra into the kunai and began to work with it once more. His goal was simple get the kunai to stick together the whole time. His chakra worked steadily changeing the charge in all parts of the kunai at the same time. This was going smothly. Three seconds into it so far and the kunai had not even budged. Meaning he was changeing the charge of both kunai at a steady rate and that they were equally repeling and attracting eachother at the same time. It wasnt long before Saigoto reached his countdown of 6 seconds and the kunai had not budged at all. Now all that was left was to work on giving them seperate charges at the same time.

Saigoto sat there starring at the kunai. Ha had now managed to give both of them the same charge now all that was left was to work on giving two items separate charges. He would have to work hard for this. He reached into his pouch and pulled out two more kunai. Giving both of them a posotive charge in six seconds he placed them a good distance away from the other two kunai that both had negative charges. The distance between them was meant so that when he gave one kunai in the posotive group a negative charge and one kunai in the negative group a positive charge they would repel eachother shooting towards the other group of kunai. Those two kunai would then shoot off in opposite directions. It would be a chain reaction of sorts. If all went according to plan then Saigoto should have to end up moving in order to dodge a kunai being shot at him from the center of the room.

Saigoto was not foolish enough to think he would get this on the first try however. He knew that it would take quite a bit of concentration from him in order to change the polarity of two separate items on different sides of the room as well as changing the polarities to something different from each other. He thought of it kinda like trying to rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time. Two different locations doing two different things. However just like the rub and pat idea he thought of his technique just like a part of him. Just like it was his arms so that would not be to difficult to grasp the idea of two different areas.

Saigoto focused on both sets of kunai. Releasing his chakra into his field letting it flow fluidly throughout the air until it reached the cold metal lying motionless on the ground. The chakra would surround the two seperate kunai So far so good he managed to seperate his chakra evenly thoughout the field and into the two seperate kunai. As he felt the chakra filling the kunai with its power suddenly he began to work on changeing the polarity. Before he had to focus on which polarity he was giving to which items. This was just the way he had done it before but now he would have to do it absent mindely which would prove to be quite difficult for him.

He could feel himself giving one kunai a positive charge but at the same time he could feel himself giving the other kunai a positive charge as well. Which was wierd because he was working on giving a positively charged kunai a positive charge. He started to rack his brain trying to fix himself. Just as he began giving one a negative charge he was switching the other one back to a negative charge as well. He was really starting to get frustraited there was no reason this should be this hard. It was like multitasking but at the same time it would be liek trying to vacuum the living room and clean dishes int he kitchen at the same time.

Saigoto clenched his fist. "Why is this so damn hard" He said to himself as he stood up walking over towards the kunai. The two positive charged kunai now lay away from eachother successfully changeing on to a negative charge but then the two negative charged kunai both were still negative. He would have to try again. After he set up both his groups of kunai he stayed standing stareing at both groups going from one group and then to the other. He closed his eyes focusing on his breathing trying to clear his mind of all thoughts. Nothing but the kunai and his static field should be on his mind right now. That was all he wanted.

His mind filled with nothing but succes and the three things he needed to focus on. He opened his eyes. Both groups of kunai plainly visable in his field of vision. He immediatly began to send out a serge of chakra to the kunai. Focusing on giving each one a seperate charge. Things went along smoothly his chakra flowed just the right way without fail and surround the kunai. Saigoto began his count. As soon as he reached the end of his 6 second count down the kunai shot away from the other kunai they were touching. One posotive and one negative kunai flying towards eachother. As soon as they got close each one vered off its directed path changeing its flight trajectory by about ninty degrees. Saigoto hoped in the air as the one kunai slid underneath and then behind him.
