Alexander, the Achilles of the Hidden Mist, now stood before his mentor. He was holding his massive sword, the Masamune, in a tight combative stance awaiting further instructions. The Seven Swordsman approached him and explained the next technique he would try and teach him. The man performed a few hand seals and summoned a clone of earth. The copy stood beside him and he extended his hands outwards. The man explained the next jutsu would be a punch. He approached the rock clone and then he gathered up his fist and moved forward. The sudden burst from the man was startling and seemed interesting. The man struck his clone, and Alexander watched the attack hit the clone. The man hit the clone with such force that the copy was sent flying sixty meters back into a group of broken trees, battle scars from the other training they had went through. The scene of the impact was horrible, the clone's stomach, where the man had punched, had crumbled away. Alexander had taken in the sight of the man and replayed it in his mind. He was going to try and reproduce this attack.

Alexander took a deep breath and the performed hand seals to summon a clone for himself. This was a clone of ice, and he looked at the simple construct. He began to send chakra into his right arm, targeting his biceps, triceps, and forearm. These muscle groupings where the source from which the attack would gain strength. He looked up at the clone and stepped forward. He placed his sword into the ground and then inhaled a breath and then took a long exhale. The next breath he inhaled he ran up to the clone. Then swinging his fist through the air he exhaled the breath he had held inside him. He imagined punching through the clone and sending his chakra outwards towards the trees. This clone was merely a thing in his way, a wall that had to be broken down. He interjected his chakra into and out of the clone. The clone caught by the attack was sent flying backwards in a sudden stream of power. Alexander kept the thought in his mind and he watched as the clone was lifted off it's feet and flew twenty meters. Alexander smiled and cracked his knuckles, not as far as the man, but it was a start. The clone was still able to stand, no damage done to it and it approached him once more. Alexander straightened his body up once more and prepared it for another round of using this jutsu.

This time he targeted the muscles in his left arm, sending chakra to the isolated muscles, trying to give them a strength boost. His right hand was going to be given a break for now. Alexander then began take up a fighting stance and looked at the clone. Once more he inhaled and then exhaled. Calming himself and focusing on his goal. Judging by what he had just done, he needed to increase the amount of chakra into his arm and then increase the flow that would translate into the blow itself. The stance taken, he stood looking out upon the clone and stepped forward. Moving fast he reached the target area and brought his fist up to the chest area of the clone. As his fist made contact he shot his chakra through the target, not into. By sending his chakra through the clone and combining it with the force of his attack and his natural strength, this would add to the distance he could get off the clone. As if in slow motion the clone was taken off it's feet and sent flying backwards, it landed harshly and flipped. It had flew a good forty meters and then reverted to water. Alexander could see that he had actually done internal damage with this attack due to the force of it. He looked at his hand, was this attack really that strong?

The Achilles then heard a whistling sound and glanced towards the sound itself. He looked and saw the man, he had been so focused on training this technique he had forgotten about him, standing with three tree trunks around him. The man smiled at him and then picking one tree trunk up, threw it at the young Kaishin. The Kaishin smiled and took up a fighting pose, channeling his training he gathered his chakra and threw another punch to connect with the tree trunk flying at him. He connected with the right and sent his chakra through the tree itself. A whole in the tree appeared from where he had hit it, and the trunk itself was sent flying forty-five meters away. Alexander had no time to look and be pleased. Two more trunks were inbound towards him. He punched twice more, gathering chakra and funneling it towards the trunks. Both of which had gaping holes in their centers. The first one that had been connected with a right was sent flying fifty-five meters. The second was sent sixty meters away. Alexander took a deep breath and smiled at the man, he wondered how many more logs would be thrown at him.

Ichiren Raikou (Chain Lightning)
Rank: B rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Release a devastating lightning stream that can chain up to the maximum of three opponents.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Must be standing in place to perform.
Description: After forming the last handseal, a stream of lightning will release in front of the user's hand and chain through the user's targets.

As the young Kaishin had been training, his mentor had told him that there were some techniques he wanted to show him that he would not be able to do with the Masamune. This was because the Masamune did not have a sheath, and was much to big. Alexander had understood this, but as he thought about it there was one sword he wanted to use for these techniques. Sadly hew as not able to wield the blade itself. Upon mentioning it, his mentor had told him to go forth and refine his ability and affinity with the Ration Release. Mastery of that should prove to the sword and it should be more willing to work with him. Alexander now stood on the training field alone. He began to gather chakra inside his body. Performing the hand seals of the zodiac he molded the chakra and brought it forth in the shape of clones made out of water. These would be easier to use on with the lightning jutsus. He looked at the clones and then began to gather more chakra inside his body. Another jutsu was about to take shape.

He performed the hand seals, going through eight of the hand seals of the zodiac and molding his chakra in such a way that the jutsu would take flight. He understood the basic idea of the jutsu, it was just applying it. He forced his chakra into the area and began to focus it into the palms of his hands. He made sure that his footing was secured before moving forth with the training. He looked at the first clone and began to focus the chakra into a easily thrown jutsu. The technique itself was made for multiple enemies and it was perfect for a quick defense against three attackers. Holding the chakra in his hands, he took aim at the first clone and extended his hand forward in a thrust. The stream of lightning release came forth and shot straight towards the clone, which was hit with force. The clone itself took the entirety of the stream but then turned into water. The other clones still unaffected by the jutsu. This is what was not suppose to happen. The jutsu was suppose to jump from clone to clone and shocking them in one massive chain. He must be doing something wrong.

Alexander refocused himself and gathered his thoughts. He focused his mind once more and then performed the water clone jutsu once more. He would summon another clone and have the clone take up it's position. The time came once more for him to perform the jutsu once again. He gathered his chakra into his hand, and performed the one handed half seals for the lightning release jutsu. He gathered it inside his hands and then began to focus. He extended his hand once more and shot the stream of lightning towards the first clone. This time he would try to control the lightning as before it hit the clone. As the lightning was about to hit the clone, or at least he assumed it was, he would attempt to send the attack towards the other clone. The lightning jutsu missed the first clone completely and then bounded down upon the second clone, destroying the clone and returning it to water, though slightly charged. He sighed and performed the hand seals for the water clone once more. He had brought the lightning to the second clone to soon. In a sense, he had jumped the gun.

Alexander then gathered his chakra into his hand once more. Gathering it there he then performed the hand seals to mold said chakra into a fine weapon. He extended his hand once more, this time projecting the stream of lightning chakra towards the clone with better control. It seemed to him that he was over doing it. The jutsu took flight and started towards the clone. He waited for the signs that the clone had been hit. The clone was hit with the lightning and in that moment he had the lightning jutsu bound to the next clone, which was also hit. It was at the moment he attempted to have the lightning move to the third clone, but alas to no avail. The lightning release jutsu dissolved and the two copies of him exploded into water. He was getting quite skilled in giant puddles of electrically charged water around him. Perhaps this could be some new defense? Still he had done better than his previous attempts. He performed the hand seals to reform his companions of water. As they formed he looked at them. He really hoped that they didn't splash him with water. That would be very bad.

The day was still in full bloom as the water copies of the man known as Alexander took shape and stood their ground. The original Alexander, the Achilles of the Hidden Mist, stood with one hand in motion. It moved quickly to his chest and began a rapid movement. Each time it moved it made a knew figure, a new one hand half seal of the zodiac would be formed. He was accessing his chakra and focusing it into his hand. He was preparing to unleash a new attack upon the water clones and he remembered the last time he had performed this jutsu, the chain lightning jutsu. His clones had managed to be brought down to one and he looked directly at the third clone. He was going to attempt to take down this clone with this jutsu now. He took a deep breath and then closed his eyes. He was focusing his chakra still, gathering it into his hand and holding it there. Then he glanced at the clones and pushed his hand forward.

He did it with such speed that his hand going through the air made a "whooshing" sound. Then as he exhaled his deep breath the lightning release current burst forth from his hand and moved forward. As the lightning inched closer, Alexander braced himself. The movement of the chakra from this clone to the next was sudden, but it was something that he had to do. He watched as in a sudden the first water clone was struck by the jutsu and he shot the jutsu with his chakra moving it towards another target, the second clone. He accessed more of his reserves, making sure that he still had enough in the tank to keep himself a float and he watched as the chakra went forwards. He took another deep breath and then watched the lightning stream hit the second clone and he reacted just as quick as he had when it had hit the first clone. He moved the lightning jutsu around towards the third clone. The jutsu had to jump from one target to the other. The only drawback was that each time the jutsu jumped it lost power and the punch it packed.

At first, when the jutsu was first produced, the jutsu was as strong as a Jounin level or experienced Chuunin. After that is was the same strength as that of a Chuunin. Then it would go one rank lower to that of a Genin. For these clones, and their level, that should be enough. He watched as the jutsu struck the final clone and he sent more chakra into the jutsu. The jutsu was reinforced, then he stopped the flow of chakra to the jutsu. The clones burst into water and fell to the ground as puddle of waters. He smiled, it was time he up'd the clones. He performed the hand seals once more and focused and began to perform the hand seals required to perform the next jutsu. He would bring forth two clones of ice that would stand before him. He smiled, these were not the clone of Demonic Ice, but they were stronger than the clones of water. He smiled and then watched the clones. It was only two of them, so he performed the water clone jutsu once more. Only one water clone would come up and then he smiled at them.

His hands came up and he performed two handed hand seals, summoning his chakra into one of his hands. He looked at the clones and focused his mind and then gained more energy. He then pushed one hand into the air and focused upon the first clone, which was a ice clone. He shot the lightning current like a cannon towards his icy copy. He made sure to watch the attack and then he saw the lightning release jutsu hit the clone. He exhaled a breath and felt the strain on his body from the movement of the lightning release. He moved the jutsu from the first clone and into the body of the second clone. Teh second clone recoiled from the attack and then straightened out, he was unable to fight. As it made contact Alexander moved the jutsu once more to the water clone. As the water clone was hit with the lightning release it buckled from the shocking pulse of the jutsu. Alexander after a second stopped the jutsu and watched the clones. The ice clones cracked into shards of ice as the water clone fell into a puddle of water. Alexander smiled, he now needed to test this against something much more durable.

The Achilles stood before his own images and watched their movements. He had just performed the ice clone jutsu and brought forth clones of ice. On top of that he performed the water clone jutsu to bring a water clone to spar with as well. He was preparing to take this jutsu he had trained up to combat. He looked at the clones around him and then began to prepare his body for the movements needed in this fight. He glanced forth into the scene and braced himself. The ice clones had two copies of his sword, the Masamune. He was unarmed, seeing as he was going to be fighting with his bare hands, well bare jutsu, more or less. He looked at the clones, the air was tense and then the movements began in earnest. The sparing session was beginning. His training was now going to come to a full circle.

The first ice clone moved forward and brought the might copy of the sword down upon him. Alexander moved, dodging the attack, and making sure that the other clones were in close enough range performed the hand seals needed and required to control his chakra for the jutsu. He measured the chakra coming forth, making sure it would be enough to get the job done. He took a deep breath, he was point blank with the first clone, but the other two clones were behind him. He flipped over the first clone, as the jutsu was brought to full charge. He let projected his right hand forward, letting it take aim. Then, like a gun, he let the attack erupt and fire the lightning release chakra towards his target, the first clone. At this distance, the hit was almost instantaneous. He was still in air however, this next part was going to be tricky. He strained in doing the next bit, but managed.

Pulling his chakra he would guide the attack towards the next clone, another ice copy of himself. The attack would hit, he would see that, before focusing on touching ground. Spinning around quickly, and using his hand, as well as some effort in the department of chakra control, he would guide the attack towards the water clone, which was still moving towards him. The attacks had come so fast, and in such succession that the clones had been caught off guard. Indeed using this attack in combination with taijutsu style attacks, which brought you and your opponent close together, was inf act a good idea. He would take note of this, should he ever had to use this attack on a group of people. He felt his body strain a little as he pushed his chakra into the jutsu, making it last just a little bit longer.

The jutsu needed to only last for a few seconds longer so he could have it catch the water clone. He watched as the attack finally did catch the run away water clone, which had started to turn, as if made aware that something was not right. The water clone's body began to shake as the lightning release struck its' body and it seemed like it was convulsing. Alexander then focused more chakra into the attack, thus making sure the charge was felt, and he watched as the clone reverted into their original elements. The sparing match had just begun, but already it was over, with just a few masterful strokes here and there. Alexander smiled, and took a deep breath once more. This had been a learning experience, since he learned how good this jutsu could be in a multiple attackers situation. He took another deep breath and then stood up, he really should get back to training with the sword, but he needed to make sure he was a master of the lightning release first.

The Achilles of the Hidden Mist had been training all day long. He had been improving his understanding of the Lightning Release and was now on his way back to his apartment. Tomorrow he would meet his teacher again, and train more in the style that allowed him to use his sword, the Masamune, better and more efficiently. He was walking back towards the main road that would lead him further into the village, when he noticed something odd. There was a person sitting on a bench staring at him. He looked back at this person out of the corner of his eye, but did not change pace or the direction in which he was going. As he reached the person, they made a brief eye to eye contact. It was at this moment that he felt two things incoming towards his body. Without a moments notice, or second thought for that matter, he quickly moved himself out of harms way. Standing a full one hundred and eighty degrees, he stood now facing down two more people. The person on the bench stood up as well and looked at him smiling. He now realized, that this was the same squad he had defeated prior to his Chuunin Exams, in which he was promoted.

He looked at these people, they were shinobi, but he had beaten them before. Two males and one female. They all smiled, but he did not even regard them or say anything. Revenge is what they were after obviously. He turned around and began to walk forward, ignoring them and going back to his apartment. At this, he could only assume they were getting angry at him, because he felt them charge him all at once. One of the males was in the lead and to their eyes, he would disappear all at once. In reality he had simply moved to fast for them to actually see his movements, and their eyes would not be able to place him right above them. At least not yet anyways. He looked down upon them and held his hand out. His attack was no prepared, and he was now glaring down on his first target. That would, of course, be the male that had taken the lead, or point man. He was going to test out his new jutsu that he had been training all day once more. The only difference is, that this time he was performing it on more than just clones. He smiled at the challenge and ready himself to fire the attack at the lead male.

You see, the fact that he had turned around was not just his way of trying to avoid a fight. No it was something much more. As he had moved from his previous position he had gather up his chakra inside his body and begun preparing himself to perform a jutsu. As he had turned around, he had begun to weave the one handed half seal required for the jutsu. He had gaged their distance, using his frozen mist, and then using the half seals to control his chakra, formed his attack. He had pictured his next move in his head as soon as he had felt them step off. He waited until they were fully committed to their attack upon him. Then he had moved to the position in the air just above them. The attack prepared he would now begin to perform this attack, that while non lethal at this stage, would cause a great amount of pain for them. It was now that he unleashed the attack. As he did so he felt the strain it put on his body from extended performance of the jutsu. He looked upon his target and guided the lightning release chakra to its' target.

He watched as the attack connected with the lead male. Then Alexander began to exhale a breath as he rounded the attack towards the female. He remembered how troublesome she could be. The attack connected, as she let out a scream of pain from the lightning release touching through her body. The young Kaishin then pushed more chakra into the hungry jutsu, which ate up the reinforcements happily. He guided the chakra towards his next target, the final opponent and member of the squad. It moved directly around and struck the other male and his body locked up from the force of the attack. Landing on his feet, he fed the jutsu more chakra, keeping them stuck in pain for a brief moment longer. Then he released his jutsu and watched as the lead male and female collapsed unto the ground. As for the other male, who was hit with the weakest part of the attack, he simply collapsed to one knee and was taking in deep breaths. The others breath was strong, but they both were clearly unable to stand due to the pain they had just experienced. Alexander, a Chuunin, had just taken down three Genin, with a jutsu he had just learnt. He knew it would come in handy when he went to learn it, and it turned out he was right.

After he made sure that the three Genin were not dead or in danger of dying. Alexander simply turned and walked away from them. He would leave them there to recover, but not before he reported it to somebody. He wanted them to make sure that they were at least watched. Not for his safety, clearly, but for their own. He didn't want to have made a mistake and see that they had died from his attack or something. After all, he was not a medical ninja.

Alexander now stood facing the Swordsman of the Hidden Mist. The man had his blade drawn and so to did Alexander. The two men jumped forward and began to swing their swords towards one another. The swordsman;s sword came forward and Alexander blocked the attack with his own sword. Then this process was repeated once more. The two then separated and parted from their attacks. Alexander then looked at his opponent and then the two charged forth and locked swords once more. They both were blocking easily enough,but Alexander felt something different then normal. Alexander then felt the ringing of another block. Then Alexander felt another block, but something was completely different. He could not place his finger on what it was, and Alexander jumped backwards, he was separating himself from his opponent once more. The man smiled and then ran forward. Alexander copied and mirrored the man and brought his own sword up to play. The two massive swords collided and Alexander avoided a swing from the sword and attacked back. He noticed the look on the man's face. It was that of surprise. Not a shocking surprise, but rather a happy one.

Alexander separated from the man and looked at him once more. The man charged him and swung the blade once again towards Alexander. The Young Kaishin dodged the attack. Then something strange happened again, Alexander moved his head to the side and watched as the second slash was dodged. Not just dodged, but seemingly predicted. He hadn't even been looking at the blade, but focusing for his own strike against the man. It was as if he knew to move his body in just the right way. Alexander was lost in thought, and as he caught himself thinking to much about this, could feel the swordsman's blade coming once again. Then he felt the path of it with his Frozen Mist. To his astonishment he had already moved his body to dodge the attack. He jumped backwards, he had just dodged a few slashes on pure instinct alone. He hadn't even thought about moving his body, he had just done it. Alexander was actually somewhat amazed at this and just looked at the man.

As he did so the man came after him once again and began to try and press the young Kaishin. Alexander quickly redoubled his defensive efforts and blocked the attacks. He was blocking them as they came in. He caught himself moving a few times out of the way of the oncoming attacks subconsciously. It was at this time that Alexander saw an incoming slash by the man, and dodged it normally. However, thanks to his Frozen Mist, he felt the swing coming back at him. To his surprise his body had not moved out of the way. He quickly used a reverse grip on his sword and brought it up to block the incoming attack. The attack clinged with his sword and sparks flew. It was at this time that Alexander realized that the man had been using the Double Gale technique. This was at least a Chuunin Level attack. That is when Alexander understood just how far he had come. He had only progressed only enough to were he could dodge lower level attacks, that meant he had been dodging Genin level attacks this whole time. He took a deep breath and separated from the combat with the swordsmen.

He raised his massive black sword. He hoped that now he would be able to understand the limits of his insight and somehow push them further. With his guess more training and he would get there. He charged the man who began to swing his blade at the Achilles of the Hidden Mist. The younger man dodged the attacks, as is almost dancing. It was at this time Alexander was only focusing upon the man himself, and his own attack. The man came in with a slash, which Alexander was able to dodge subconsciously, but thanks to his Frozen Mist, he felt the second swing coming back suddenly. Once again he blocked the attack and returned a slash towards his sparing partner and teacher. He looked at the swordsman who was smiling and Alexander stood there looking back at him. He too could not help nor stop himself from smiling. He was beginning to get the hang of this, and hew as enjoying himself quite a lot it would appear. He took up another stance, it was time to push himself even more.

This technique makes it where the User is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. 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 cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.

Alexander now stood before his teacher, watching the swordsmen’s every move. He took a deep breath and watched the man charge him. He had just came to the realization that he was slowly, but surely, learning how to dodge weaker attacks subconsciously. He looked at the now charging swordsman. This man was teaching the Buerdono Kenseijin sword style. Alexander himself was trying to learn the sword style and master it, if he could. He had much respect for this man facing him, since he was a Seven Swordsman of the Hidden Mist. Alexander then focused on the task at hand, charging right into the man’s oncoming attack. Alexander quickly dodged the attack, he knew that was not a weak attack, as he could fill the wind come off from the attack itself. The young Kaishin regained his footing and then back slashed at the man. As he did so, he realized he had just dodged another attack. The tail end of the arc begin caught by his eye as he body had subconsciously moved out of the way. Alexander brought his own blade back up to bare and came back down upon the man, who seemingly dodged out of the way as if it was nothing. The man had been doing this all along, but now Alexander was understanding why. This was merely a sign of how many battles this man had actually been in. Alexander looked at the man and smiled greatly. Then he stabbed deep towards the man, who dodged the attack with ease.

Alexander moved his bodies position and blocked another incoming attack. Then he felt a cold tingle and understood that the Rapid Gale technique was coming his way. He moved downwards, dodging the attack itself and coming back up. He knew that that technique was a two part strike in a single movement.The first part was a weaker slash, the second part was a strong back tracking slash towards the unaware opponent; this was of course if the opponent did not know any better and took the slash at face value. Alexander would have as well, if he did not have the Frozen Mist technique with him. He brought his sword up, and again caught himself dodging another slash. It was at this time that he noticed the man bringing the point of his sword down towards the ground. Alexander was put on a higher level of alert by this, mainly because he did not know what the man was planning. It was at that time that the man came around with a kick, which Alexander dodged with ease. He focused his mind and put forth his arm, his massive black metal sword in hand. The sword came forth slashing and stabbing upwards towards the man. The man jumped back, at least Alexander had thought that. He caught himself dodging subconsciously once again. The man had in fact dodged, but brought his sword up once again in a slashing motion, this was what Alexander had dodged.

Alexander then saw the man’s sword coming in with a stabbing motion. He focused himself, and dodged the piercing attack. Alexander turned around, bringing his sword to a full rotation to give it more power. His sword came around and connected with the man who had a look of surprise on his face. Alexander did not understand why, as the attack he had just performed was clear and obvious. Then he realized what his body was trying to tell him. He had been so focused in on the attack he had not even paid attention to the Frozen Mist. The man had thrown an attack at the last second, while Alexander had his back turn towards him. Alexander realized that based off the positioning of his sword previously and after that it could not have been a sword attack. It had to have been a punch or kick. Alexander did not let this stay in his mind to long. He charged forth once more and brought his sword back up to bare. This time the man slashed early and Alexander dodged it with ease. Alexander brought his sword back up and stabbed towards the man. It was at this time that he caught a glimpse of the trailing arc of the man’s sword slash. He recognized what he was seeing. He was seeing the arc of the Double Gale technique. He had not been able to subconsciously dodge that attack before now. Then he saw the man dip his sword down ofr another stabbing attack. He focused his attack, hoping it would reach first. The man dodged the attack with little to no effort.

The young Kaishin then realized, that he had just done the same with the man’s attack. Alexander then noticed that the man’s sword had not stopped, it had plummeted to the ground. Alexander took this as his opportunity. He pushed himself forward coming at the man with a slash. The slash missed, but not because of his timing, no it was because the man was already beside him before he knew it. Alexander the saw what had just transpired. The man had came at him suddenly, using the sword in the ground as a counterweight to make him faster. Then he had thrown a punch towards Alexander, but it had not connected. The Achilles of the Hidden Mist had dodged the attack subconsciously. The thing that made this dodge so out of the ordinary, was the punch was no normal punch. Just by the stance and how the man was holding himself, Alexander knew that this was the Broad Fist technique. This punch was a Chuunin Level attack that, if connected and performed by this man, would have sent Alexander flying sixty meters. That is not all, it was a good chance that Alexander may have some broken bones. Then Alexander realized something. The man was shocked, just like before when he had turned a full three-hundred and sixty degrees with that sword slash. Then it dawned on him. The man had been throwing those types of punches this entire time. Alexander had been dodging them subconsciously. Alexander and the man separated from one another. They took a long look at one another and then began to laugh. Alexander was either getting extremely lucky, or he was getting very good at using this sword and this sword style.
