Kouho and Haiho (扣歩・擺歩, Kouho and Haiho)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: When an opponent attacks, you circle around his side, and appear behind him.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: When someone attacks with their right hand, put your right foot behind their left, with your two feet pointing towards each other. After that, follow up with your left foot, circle behind your opponent's left side and you appear behind the opponent. This can be followed by a throw; when behind the opponent's rear, hit their neck with your right arm, and put your right leg behind their legs. You should not necessarily hit the opponent's neck too severely, as the opponent will have lost their balance already depending on the speed of the attack, not the strength of it.

As Riku was walking home it started to rain. It was cold and annoying. Riku hated cold weather and he also hated being wet. It was a combination of some of the things he really hated. He was half way home when he remembered his master saying, "Practice when you have time." He said to himself, "I might as well. I don't really have anything to do at home and no one is waiting for me, I'll just train." Riku shook off a few drops on his shoulders then prepared to train.

Riku imagined that his masters was training with him. He had a punch coming towards him from his imaginary teacher. Before it reached him Riku put his right foot behind hid masters left foot. He made his left foot face his right foot. It wasn't that firm, but it was alright. He tried to quickly turn behind his master. He slipped and fell on his side. The slipperry water that fell from the sky made him fall. He needed to have a firmer grip on the ground if he was going to do the spin to complete the counter attack technique. He got back to redo the technique.

Riku imagined he was training with his master again. the imaginary man attempted to strike him. He put his right foot behind Nouboyuki's then made. then he made his left foot face his right foot. It was firm and solid. He spun behind his master swiftly. This time he didn't fall down. Using the speed of the turn, Riku chopped his imaginary master in the neck. He didn't use his own strength like last time, which was good. If someone were to be watching they'd think that he was dancing. Riku fist pumped because not only did he now the technique, but he was now able to do it in a harder condition.

The next day, Riku went to train with his master once again. He was enthusiastic to learn some more Goutetsu. He had managed to learn a technique that was used for counter attacking the other day, now he was probably going to learn a setup attack. At least that what Riku had in mind of what they were going to practice today.

It was early morning when Riku arrived. Around 8 am. Riku saw his master honing his own skills until he noticed his own student. "Glad to see you again, I already have planned what technique you are going to learn today. We will learn the Konoha Reppū. It is a circular, low sweeping technique. It is used for setting up more techniques. Try do that.", explained Nobouyuki. Riku nodded in agreement. He was going to try it. Riku stretched his legs then would get started. He got down low on one foot then he lunged forward with his limb. His leg would've hit someone's shin. He slid down and eventually landed on his behind. "No, you should go down on one foot then kick in a circular motion. Try it again", said Master Nobouyuki. Riku had made an epic fail on his last attempt. This time he would try to do it better. Riku nodded in agreement then got back up to try again.

Riku tried to do the technique better this time. He ducked down. He didn't go down low enough. He started to spin in a circular motion with his kick. He then stopped about half way of a circle. He didn't do it very well ,but atleast it was better that before. "Go down lower it will make you spin better and it makes you closer to your opponent because your legs would be longer." Riku nodded in agreement. Riku went down again, but this time it was lower. He still wasn't low enough, but it was better. Riku just went a little over a half circle. Atleast his legs would be longer and straighter.

"You still need to go down even lower. It is for the same reason as i said before."Riku went down close to the floor. He pushed off hard and it made him start to spin. He wobbled a bit due to not having a firm holding up foot .It made him go round untill he fell. His foot that was used for keeping him up wasn’t stable and that made him fall. Riku found this technique harder than what it really was. He got back up and felt disappointed in himself, but knew that this was all part of training, disappointment. “Try doing it again with your standing foot held firm.

Riku nodded to the command of his master. Riku breathed in deeply then exhaled. He was going to do the technique better than before. He went down slowly, keeping his standing foot firm to the ground. He was having a feeling he was going to do it well. He spun off hardly on his foot then he spun in a full circular motion. It was a well performed attack. If someone was hit by it they would probably fall. “Try again, but this time a little faster.” With that, Riku knew he did it perfectly and just needed a little more improvement.

Riku got back up from his position so he was standing now. He quickly ducked down. He then brought his foot out and pushed off very hard and fast. He had a firm grip with his standing foot and his kicking foot was straight and firm as well. He spun in a full circular motion which was faster than the last time he did it. It was surely enough to knock someone down. Riku was so happy that he knew the technique he did it one more time without any need to. “Good job Riku, you know know the Konoha Reppu”

Riku and his Master were planning to do another technique next, the Konoha Senpū. Riku felt enthusiastic just like before he learned the previous technique. He learned a low sweeping kick attack and now he was going to learn a technique that is a settep for most Goutetsu techniques. Goutetsu was going well with Riku.

"Okay, next we are going to learn the Konoha Senpu. It is a technique that sets up other attacks. Not only that but it is a good technique itself. You perform this by jumping up towards the opponent with a spinning kick. After that you use the momentum to do a roundhouse kick to the stomach with the other leg. You should be able to make your opponent fly back about 12 meters. Try it out!" "Okay", replied Riku. Riku leaped foward to the nearest Punch/kick sack. He tried to spin in the air performing a round house kick, but before he could do it all around his back crashed into the sack of grain. he then landed on the floor with his hands, but he flipped him self back up. His attempted try was more like trying to hit someone's chest with your back. Riku knew he had to try the technique again. "You should have spun in a full motion then kick the face. Try again." Riku got back up to try again.

Riku knew he was going to get better. At least he was not going to do as badly as before. Riku leaped forward to the grain sack. In the middle of the journey he spun in the air attempting to do a roundhouse kick. He kicked what would have been a person's head with his foot. The sack had a dent which could be fixed from Riku's foot pushing the grains back. Riku was content with his first good attempt. "Good, you got the first part well. You jsut need to add more power to your kick. Try again." Riku nodded slightly in agreement.

Riku adjusted him self to try again. The young shinobi jumped in the air with much speed. He felt like he was going to do great. His hair flowed backwards while he was in the air. Immediately after passing the halfway mark in the air, Riku started the roundhouse kick. He kicked the face of the sack harder than before. He made sure it was forceful enough that his master would approve of it. He hit the same place as before, making the dent of the grain sack go in deeper. "Good job, you mastered this part of the technique, now you must learn the other part", said his master.

Riku knew that he had to do the second kick that needed the first kick's momentum. That meant Riku needed to kick a bit faster. He ran up a little before he jumped towards the giant sack of grains. He spun in a roundhouse motion once he passed the halfway. The strike from his foot was more powerful that before. He used the remaining momentum to hit the stomach of the grain sack. Riku missed then fell to the floor on his back. he knew it was going to be harder to do than it was said. He got back up and before his master could say anything he went to his position to try again.

Riku went back to where he jumped from. He was going to make sure that wasn't going to fall down again. He felt happy that he was improving on Goutetsu. Riku inhaled some air into his lungs. He made sure his lugs were full then exhaled. He bent down on his knees then jumped. When he was halfway in the air he started to spin in a roundhouse motion with his leg held out. He kicked the face of the grain bag forcefully the turned the extra momentum into another kick with his other leg. His left foot made the grain bag fly backwards about 6 meters. Riku saw the bag which was above the weight of an average man soar. This made him happy. He fist pumped to himself as boys his age would.

"Good, you just need to make the sack fly 6 more meters then I would be satisfied with you. Try one more time." Riku jumped into the air, towards the heavy grain sack. He was planning to make it soar at the length his master wanted it to be. When he was halfway in the air heading to the sack of grain, he skillfully turned in a roundhouse motion with his foot ready for a kick. He kicked the grain sack which would have been the face of a person. He then used the momentum from the previous kick to perform a second kick aimed for the stomach. It made the sack recoil backwards about 12 meters. Riku was more than content when he saw it fly through the air. He thought he had mastered it but didn't know his master had more in plan for him.

Riku thought he was done and ready to go to the next technique. He asked, "Master, what technique are we going to practice next?" Master Nobouyuki frowned then said, "Your not done learning the technique, I want you to try this with your weaker foot now. Naturally you used your right foot, now you should use your left. Go for it" Riku shrugged and knew his teacher was right. He took his position to start over again.

Riku breathed in deeply then exhaled out. He was going to try with his left foot, his weaker foot. He leaped into the air with much enthusiasm. When he was halfway towards the giant grain sack he started to perform the roundhouse motion with his foot prepared to kick. He knew he probably wasn't going to do it all right on the first try but that gave him the feeling to try harder. he kicked the grain sack and watched his foot make a small dent in the bag. His left foot wasn't strong enough and didn't grip on so he could turn and do the other kick. Riku fell and landed on his hands. He flipped back on to his feet. He looked at the large grain ack and said to him self, "I'm going to try again."

Without instructions from his master he took the position so he could try again. Nouboyuki looked a little impressed. Riku leaped into the air with determination. He was at the halfway point of the grain sack when he started to turn in the roundhouse motion. Riku told himslef that he wouldn't fall without attempting to turn. Riku kicked the grain sack just like bfore but a bit harder. He hit the same spot which made the dent go in deeper. After the kick with his left foot he tried to push off of it and attempt to spin. He did but didn't get to kick with the other foot. He landed to the ground on his feet. He felt content so far.

Riku knew his kick wasn't hard enough to turn and start the other kick. He got into the proper position for the technique again. He took a small step back then he ran forward. He leaped forward to the grain sack. Once he passed the halfway point he started to do the roundhouse motion. Riku took a good kick at the grain sacks's face. It was his left foot. He pushed off of it then tried to kick with his left right foot. He manged to deliver his right foot, but it wasn't very powerful. The sack barely moved.

Riku landed on his two feet. He started to get frustrated because he wasn't making the large grain sack move. The young ninja knew that frustration wasn't going to get anything done so he decided to turn the frustration into determination. He got into a good position for the technique. Riku took off running towards the grain sack. He jumped high into the air. When he was at the halfway point towards the large grain sack he started the roundhouse motion. Riku kicked the sack with more force than before with his left foot. He managed to latch on long enough to do the spin. He spun then kicked the sack with his right foot. the sack flew backwards about 4 meters. This made Riku feel better. he was happy to see the sack fly back, but he didn't become too distracted with his happiness because he knew that he still had a while to go.

Riku got into a position to kick the sack once again. He felt like he was going to do it better than last time. He ran forward to the sack with hope. He jumped when he thought it was the right time to. When he was about halfway towards the sack he started to perform the roundhouse motion. this was the easiest part for him. He now felt like it was his nature to spin in roundhouse motion whenever he was in the air. He kicked the sack with his left foot. It was pretty forceful. he latched on long enough to spin and convert to his right foot. It hit what would have been the sacks face. It flew back about eight meters. Riku eye's widened in surprise. He felt proud of himself.

Riku wanted to finish up the technique. He backed up to the position he was in before. He found out that the sack had been moved back by his kicks so he didn't have to back-up has far as he thought he had to. He ran immediately to the sack. He knew he was going to complete the technique this time. He jumped at the right time. He was in the air for a few seconds. At the halfway point he did the roundhouse motion for one last time. His left foot hit the sack forcefully. He then spun quickly and hit the sack with his right foot. The man sized sack flew 12 whole meters backwards. It landed with a "flop" sound. Riku felt happy with himself.

Master Noubouyuki waked over to Riku the said, "Good job Riku, I think that, that is enough for now. We will train more later this week." With that Riku left and went home.

Riku wanted to learn an important technique many ninjas knew. The Shushin. It was one that would make him move instantly. He liked the sound of that. He also knew that it had many side effects, such as making your legs immobile until you receive medical care. He made sure his sister was watching him so he wouldn't hurt himself. He gave up his 'secret' training place for his safety. It was worth it.

Out in the open area on the spring day Riku began his Shushin training. He needed to learn this technique in-case it was needed. "I'm actually learning the Shushin.", Riku said to him self. "A fusion of speed and untraceability."

"Their complete opposites!", yelled his younger sister. "Speed", she started, "is something quick and flashy. Something very noticeable. However your're being untraceable with speed is a challenge. That's why you need to create a puff of smoke while moving."[/i][/b] Riku asked,"Well, how can I perform this?" Knowing his sister was a prodigy at being a ninja he had a feeling that she would be able to answer the question. She had helped him learn techniques that were tough before.

"You know we live our daily lives with the day coming and the night right after it. We has human don't pay attention to closely as our daily lives go on. The sun comes then goes in a blink of an eye then it is night. In the night it is the moon's turn to shine. In the shuushin you will have to change your position very quickly while making it untraceable. The sun change will be your swift movement while the person not knowing where you went will be us not realizing the change in day. When you move you have to keep it unnoticeable until your reach your destination. Then you hit them with the sudden fact that you changed positions, like the sun turning into the moon.", said Samaki in a bossy and brainy way.

"Well, how the hell will I do this?", asked Riku in a slightly angry way. His sister was acting bossy, which was something he didn't like. "Duhh, chakra. This would be physically impossible if you didn't have that. Chakra increases our abilities.", said Samaki.

This was right. He needed the life energy to move at such speeds. This training was going to require a lot of chakra since he was going to move at incredible speeds. This worried him because he could he would probably have to perform the technique many times to get it right while training. Not only that, but he could only handle three shushins a day or he may get seriously injured. However, he wanted to try to see how the training would go. He felt that foolhardy determination. He was going to train and take the risk of what will happen. This would probably be something that he wouldn't like though.

"So basically, I am just going yo use the chakra that I have and send it to my ankles and feet. When I run it will make me faster and I should run straight for 10 meters. While doing this I must be able to hide my movement by making a puff of smoke."[/color][/i], said Riku waiting for his younger sister's approval.

"Yeah, basically", replied Samaki. Riku nodded then backed up.

"Well, let's start!", said Riku in an excited voice. He was happy to learn an instant moving technique.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Riku now needed to move at instantaneous speed for ten meters. That was easier said than done. He couldn't do this more than three times a day which would make it more challenging. Atleast he was going to use chakra, the life energy that could make almost anything possible. If he was just going use his muscle this would be impossible.

Riku accumulated chakra together in the center of his body. He wasn't sure about the exact amount he would need, so he just got what he thought would be enough. It wasn't. He made it very concentrated so that it would give him the needed speed. He sent it down to his legs. He was getting excited. It rushed from his legs down to hsi ankles. He made the chakra surround both his ankles and go through his joints. It penetrated through the bone and the chakra soaked within his bones. From their it went to the rest of his feet. He made it cover his phalanges and engulf all his feet. While doing all of this he thought of pure speed. He imagined a cheetah running after it's prey. He also thought of a hawk diving down from the heavens to swoop and hunt his prey. "Speed.", he said to himself. Riku lifted his right foot first then took off at instant speed. He ran at an increadible speed until reached the five meter point. There he started to slow down and go at regular shinobi running speed.
"Not bad.", he said to himself. Even from his sister's face you could see that she was impressed.

Without any stalling Riku got right back to business, training. He was amazed by the speed he traveled at. Something which he would have thought was impossible. Chakra's ability was amazing. The reason why he didn't travel the whole 10 meters was that he didn't add enough chakra to his running. He was now planning to input more chakra. Riku accumulated chakra in the center of his body. When he thought it was enough he made it thick and concentrated for speed. He then sent it down his legs. Riku got excited just like before. He sent the chakra to his ankles. He soaked them in chakra like before. The chakra went around them and in between the joint. It was like putting oil on your bicycle. He then sent the chakra to his feet and engulfed them with it. He was felt lie he was ready to shushin. He lifted his right foot first then he took off running. He ran at instantaneous speed for seven meters. Two more meters than before! Riku was improving. "Better, but not ten meters.", he said to himself. Samaki said to her brother, "I'm actually impressed with you bro. Try get it in the last try." [/i] Riku nodded back to his sister. He was going to try again.

Rikugot in a position to try the shushin again. He was feeling really determined this time. he started to gather his chakra together in the center of his body. He added more chakra than all the times before. He thought that it would be enough to make him go the full ten meters at instantaneous speed. He made the chakra that he accumulated really concentrated for the speed he needed. He now started o send it down his legs. From there it went to his ankles. He tried to put chakra all around his feet joints so hey could handle the sheer speed of the shushin. The chakra went around his round ankles so when he ran, they would move smoothly. He imagined running around the place at an incredible speed that it would just be a blur. From there he went to the the rest of the joints in his feet. His muscle and bones had enough chakra for him to shushin. He lifted his right foot as always with hope of going the whole ten meters at instantaneous speed. Riku ran at amazing speed at nine meters. He was soo close. If he had one more chance he would definitely get it. "Lets try again tomorrow.", suggested Samaki."No way, I can finish this tomorrow.", retorted Riku. "This could seriously hurt you.", she said with concern. Riku ignored the warning.

Riku was now taking a risk by performing a fourth shushin. He was feeling too determined to master the shushin. he gathered his chakra together at the center of his body as usual. He made it condensed and thick for the speed he needed. He sent it down to his legs with enthusiasm. He was really feeling good. he thought about pure speed and forgot all about the fact he was going past his daily limit of shushin. His sister was also wanting to see him finally reach the ten meter mark. Riku imagined a train going on it's tracks at high speeds. The tracks were shaking from a far distance. Surely if some felt the metal rain from far away the would feel vibrations. While he imagined all this his chakra was seeping through his bones and muscles on his feet. His ankles were fully covered by the chakra and Riku was ready to shushin. He did so with his right foot first then he ran at amazing speeds for thje ten whole meters! "Yahh!", he yelled. He felt proud of himself. Slowly he started to gain a serious leg cramp. So bad that he was left temporarily immobile. He fell to the floor helplessly. His sister had to aid him to his house where his mother would nurse his pain. It was good Riku over-shushined. It is good that a shinobi knows their limit and learns how a side-effect feels like. Most of all, it was good for training.

Riku had learned his lesson of over shushining in his last training session, a painful muscle cramp that needs medical attention. "I'm not going to do that again.", said Riku after being healed. He covered the speed of the shushin last training session, now he needed to learn how to hide it.

"Now you need to learn how to hide the shushin.", said Samaki. "I know.", replied her older brother. Riku knew that he needed to create the poof of smoke that most academy techniques. He got into a position to do the shushin. He accumulated his chakra together in the center of his body. He now had a good feeling on how speed was. He felt the instantaneous speed of the shushin in the last training session. He loved it. He imagined the speed of yesterday as he sent the chakra that he accumulated in his body to his legs. From there, it went to his ankles. He soaked his ankles in the chakra. This part was getting easier and easier for Riku. He made the chakra go all around his tendon muscles as well. Now he sent it to his size eleven feet. The chakra went to his toes and phalanges. The chakra would surely cover the speed of the shushin. Would he be able to perform the smoke correctly?, was know the question. He turned to his side. From there he started emitting chakra off his body which made a poof of smoke. Then he shushined. He went at an increadible speed, at all the 10 meters. His sister did not look impressed. She shook her head in a way that signaled a "no". "You were supposed to make the smoke appear before you turned to where ever you want to shushin. Your opponent would have seen where you would go, and that would eliminate the purpose of the smoke.", she said "Got it!", replied her brother.

Riku knew his mistake and understood what his sister was telling him. He went back to where he started so he could try again. He felt that he was surely not going to do as badly as before. He started to accumulate his chakra together with confidence. He imagined the shushin of last time. "Pure speed", he said to himself. He started to send the chakra down to his legs. He was used to carrying ckara from his legs to his feet by now, from the academy tree walking training to now. From his legs it moved to his ankles as planned. He drenched his ankles in the life energy. It went around it and a bit through it to ensure that he could run quickly. The chakra also went to his to his muscles, especially his achilles tendons. After they had their share of chakra he sent it to his feet. His toes and phalanges had some chakra. He looked to his right where he was going to shushin to. he made it pretty obvious that he was heading that way. At least he didn't turn. He made his chakra emit of his body and it formed a poof of smoke. He rose his right foot first when he was already cover by the smoke then took off at incredible speeds. By the time the smoke cleared off he was gone. It was a good shushin, but he made obvious where he was going form where his eyes looked. "Not bad bro, but you shouldn't look too long at where you are going. In fact try to minimize your eye movement.", advised Samaki "Okay", replied Riku.

Riku made a very small mistake that he shouldn't have. He wasn't really that disappointed in himself because he still did better that the time before. He knew he would get it right this time, he could feel it. He went to the same place that he originally shushined from. He started to accumulate his chakra from the center of his body. He got it together then sent it down his legs. He had a really good grasp on how amazing speed felt like. He from his legs it went to his ankles. He really tried to put the chakra on his ankle joint. This was the most important part of the shushin. If he didn't get it there it could really end bad. The chakra penetrated through the ankle and went all around it. His ankle surely had enough chakra now he moved the life energy onto the rest of the feet. He put chakra on the Achilles tendon muscle which would be needed for him to take another step. From there he sent the chakra to his toes and phalanges. If chakra didn't go there he wouldn't have a spring in his step. He was know ready to shushin. He emitted chakra off of his body without giving any sign or clue on where he will go. Once he was fully covered in smoke he turned to his right and rose his right foot as usual. He took a step then ran at an untraceable instantaneous speed for ten meters. "Good! You now know the shushin!" , said Samaki while clapping. "Thank you for the help.", replied Riku with appreciation.

Limit: Universal NinJutsu or Universal TaiJutsu, Must know Shunshin no Jutsu - Oshi (Body Flicker Technique - Push)

Riku had mastered the first basic Shushin technique,Push. Now he was going to learn Pull. He really liked the Shushin when he finally got to feel its speed.

"Aaah.", said feeling the nice summer air. It had recently turned to summer. He planned on taking his teammates out somewhere whenever they met again. He was wearing light clothes and some sporty shorts. He was ready to train. All he had to do now was shushin backwards. For Riku that sounded easy and hard at the same time. He got into a position to start. He accumulated chakra from the center of his body. When it was enough he sent it down to his legs. This was easy for him because of the training for the first Shushin. From there it went to his ankles. He smothered his ankles with chakra like he learned to do, by making it go around in, and even almost through it. He made the chakra now go to his tendon muscles. It went all around it. Now it moved on to his actual feet. His toes and phalanges took their needed chakra. They needed it to give him the spring in his step. Now the chakra went to the soles of his feet. He had never really done that before, but why not. It would make him better. He now made chakra emit off of his body. It made a poof of smoke that enveloped his bod and hid him. He then ran backwards. He ran at an incredible speed. he ran at this speed for five meters. It was a new experience. It felt odd to run backwards. He only went at five meters beacuse he was new at the technique and he didn't want to over do it. "I better be careful.", he said to himself.

Riku was going to immediately try again. He walked back to where he started from and went into the chakra gathering position. Riku accumulated chakra from the middle of his body and got it together. He sent the concentrated chakra down his legs. This was his favorite part. He got to send the chakra down his legs and feel the rush of potential speed. It the lower part of is body where it met with the ankles. The chakra soaked the joint. It went all around it. It felt like he was oiling a machine to make it smooth. The chakra even went inside of the ankle. Now he sent it to the tendon muscles. The chakra went all around it and it submerged with the muscle. Now it moved on to his actual feet. The chakra went to his phalanges for the spring in his step. The top of his feet was now fully covered. Now he moved the chakra to the sole of his feet. The yellow bottom of his feet was fully taken care of chakra wise. Now he needed to shushin. Riku emitted chakra off of his body which made a poof of smoke. While he was hidden he ran backwards at an incredible speed. He did so for seven whole meters. "One more try should be good.", said Riku to himself.

The young shinobi promised himself he would get the technique right this time. Riku was ready to get the instantaneous speed he felt earlier. He started to accumulate the chakra needed for the technique in the center of his body after going back to where he originally was. He sent the chakra he gathered in the center of his body down to his legs. From there it went down to his feet. It reached his ankles first though. He was planning to input chakra into as ususal. The chakra ran it's route around multiple times. It went around it until it's surface was smooth and good for extreme speed and movement. He soaked the chakra within the ankle until it even went inside. It was "chakrad" inside and out. The chakra moved on to his Achilles tendon muscle. The chakra covered the muscle. He needed to do this so he could take his next step. Riku was now going to send it to his actual feet. The chakra covered the top of his feet and it wen to his phalanges and toes muscles. His feet were well taken care of, now he just needed to do the sole of his feet. He sent chakra to the bottom of his feet. He was now ready for the shushin. The new ninja emitted chakra off of his body. Smoke started to emerge. When it covered all of his body he ran backwards at an incredible speed which made him travel ten whole meters within a secound. "Yeah! I got this!", Riku shouted when he was done. The shushin was fun for this young boy.

I deduct points for repeating the same thing over with roughly the same words. The centre of each paragraph is almost copy/pasted, and that's not fun for you or me.

(Dats one of the funniest things I heard here, but wutever)

Riku had remembered his sisters advise then it came to him, he wasn't keeping his eye movemet to a minimum. He was looking towards where he was planing to shushin. Riku went right back to this secret training feiled to fix his major error.

"What will I do without Samaki?", asked Riku to himself. It was good he had a expert in jutsu that was his sister. Riku arrived back in his training area. It kind of felt good to be back. Kind of. He went close to the spot where he was attempting the shushin earlier. Riku breathed deeply and inhaled the warm summer air then out letting the air out. For some reason he didn't know he was feeling nervous. He gathered his chakra together at the center of his body like he would do for any other jutsu. He rushed the chakra down his legs. His legs carried the chakra to his feet. It reached his ankles first before anything. He made his life energy go around it several times at a very fast speed. The chakra even penetrated through his ankles. That meant his ankle was covered chakra wise. He moved it on to his Achilles tendon muscle. He contracted and constricted his muscle to make sure all muscle was covered. Riku was now going to take a different approach. He was going to make the soles of his feet have chakra before his toes. This was the faster and smarter way. He sen the chakra at the bottom of his feet. The blue energy went back and forth, making sure to get everything.

His body was now ready for the shushin, now he had to actually perform it. Riku started to emit chakra off of his body which made a poof of smoke emerge. When he was fully covered with the gas, Riku made sure not to look at his destination. He started to run backwards with his right foot first. He took off at an extremely fast speed, but it still felt like he could go fatser. The young shinobi added more chakra to his toes, and phalanges to give hism the extra push he needed. He continued to run at a faster, instantaneous speed for about 10 whole meters. He did it all in about one to two seconds."Much better.", he said to himself.

Riku hadn't trained in Kenjutsu for ages. He was only reminded when he saw his sword sitting by his room "O God, I must be pretty rusty at that stuff by now.", he said in a dissapointed voice. He wasn't going to be able to perform in more skillful technique in this fighting style without freshening up what he learned. Hopefully, his master would still remember who he was. Riku really did want to know how to fight with a blade, it was just that other things got in his way.

Riku headed over to the Kenjutsu dojo he used to go to. He felt pretty sad that he had basically ditched his master who used his qon time to train Riku, or maybe the government paid him? Any way that wasn't important, he needed to start training again.

Riku arrived close to the dojo he used to train in. He had his new blade that was longer and better. He saw the same sign on top of the dojo saying,"Master Kushina." Riku entered. He saw Master Kushina traing with one of his more loyal students. They were pretty good, maybe Riku could have been as good as them if he stayed longer. Kushina turned to his backside then said, "Hello stranger.", with a smile. Kushina musyt have not been angry with the boy because he said, "You need to ctach up, lets start training."
