A-Wandering.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

On a whim, the Kaguya left. Heading for the Land of Hotsprings, he gathered his sizable Ryo pouch and began his search anew, in a separate land. Taking his ease, the Kaguya meandered slowly through the Land of Sound, enjoying the scenery for the moment. Wasn't long, however, before he was walking back along the route to Hotsprings, his Fox Companion in tow.

Moved

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

And, having failed at the shop there, the Kaguya continued on his Journey, headed now into the Land of Fire. Along the way, he debating on whether or not to actually keep his Sound Headband. After all, if the rumors were true, he'd likely not be returning to this place. Tossing it easily from hand to hand, he wasn't headed anywhere in particular, merely somewhere, preferably with a shop.

His fox, as usual, trotted along beside him, keeping guard.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[eeexxxxxxxittttt]

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Whelp. This country was an utter failure, but as the Kaguya was making his way out of it, he caught sight of a multitude of Lights in the distance. Grunting curiously, he began to hike through the forest in the general direction of the lights, hacking the shit outta the trees on his way there.

He wanted this herb, dammit.

Moved

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[Eeexiiit]

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[Re-Enter]

Leaving the village took next to no time. The large Kaguya barreled his way through civilians in his never-ending quest for this rare herb.

[exit to Fire]

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Nothing happened... Moved

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Whelp. That village was both a failure, and utterly scary. Bored, the Kaguya placed his Benihime on the ground, spinning it swiftly in a circle. When it finally stopped, he stooped to pick it up and then continued walking.

His sword pointed him towards the Land of Tea, and he began the loooong trek towards it, casually flicking his blade about as he moved. His Oto headband was located around his neck, and he was currently under deliberation over whether to mark it as missing or not.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

"What the.."

SPLASH

Spluttering, the Kaguya's sentence was interrupted sharply by the arrival of a large wave of swamp water. Staggering slightly, he glares back at the large beaver, shaking his head to dislodge the water located on it. Flicking his wrist swiftly, a large bone sword protruded from his palm in the Second Dance of the Kaguya. Darting forward, he pushed his legs forward in a sprint as he rapidly closed the 3 meter gap between the two.

Jabbing forward with his blade, he aimed a stab at his lower abdomen, hopefully causing a large amount of pain and incapacitating the beast. In what appeared to be a single movement, he completed a horizontal slash, hopefully making a large 'X' on the beavers underbelly.

As his right hand swung the unique blade forward, the Kaguya's left hand began internally contorting. As the blade would move to make contact with the beavers furry underbelly, the digits of the Kaguya's hand would launch, aiming incredibly sharp shards of bone for the weak spots of the beaver: the neck, eyes, facial area. His Hessenden were stronger then normal, likely able to rip through the beaver easily.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

[/i] about pushing forth with his legs the beaver spun, it's large tail whipping wildly to smack him aside. The spin and the pure size of the beavers tale would keep the sword from doing anything except pushing at his fur. The bone user was committing to his attack as the beaver spun, meaning it would be nearly impossible for him to move out of the way in time. Assuming the strike would hit the man would be knocked back fifteen meters. If that was so the beaver would fall down to all four legs and charge after him immediately with an intended follow up strike that would be just as devastating.[/font][/ul]

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

The man was struck squarely in the chest by the spinning beast, and he easily flew backwards 15 meters. Crashing solidly into the ground, he pushed himself up with a grunt, a small smile gracing his features. The beaver was rushing at him now, but the Kaguya simply stood his ground. Liquid Calcium coagulated underneath his tissue, forming a protective layer of C rank Bone.

As the beaver approached, the man raised both his hands, allowing the bone sword to drop to his feet. His thumbs tucked in, and a hail of bone shards flew outwards at the beaver, aimed for its eyes, ears, and mouth. Each shard would have no trouble piercing flesh, hopefully wounding it greatly.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

[/ul]

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

As the beaver leaped, soaring easily over the bullets launched from his fingers, the Kaguya let loose another face-splitting grin.

As the beaver went to land, bone spikes ejected themselves from nearly every inch of the Kaguya's body, covering him in a defensive form that was known as the Third Dance. Each spike was hard, and wouldn't simply shatter due to his proficiency within his clan. The wounds inflicted by the beaver began their automatic healing, yet another boon granted him by his clan.

As the beaver rose, hopefully impaled and bleeding, the Kaguya would attempt a swift spinning and ripping motion, leaning forward to cut into the beavers thick hide.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

The beaver stood no chance. The hardened bones of the Kaguya ripped the innocent mammal to shreds, leaving the man standing alone in the pool of the creatures blood.

Kicking it distastefully, he strode off, hoping to reach Tea swiftly.

[Move please? And, Ayame has given permission/orders:

Ayame:Masaa
Ayame: You can just power kill it for now]

[butterflyart]

moved

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

"Pff. This land's useless."

Striding swiftly off, the Kaguya would board the nearest boat, before retreating to the cabin. Reaching down, he'd perform the Calcium Extraction Jutsu, removing the waste generated from the earlier use of his abilities. His wounds were still healing, and the blood had luckily clotted by now.

Sitting in the back, the sea rocking the boat wildly, the man leaned backwards, closing his eyes with a sigh. This was looking to be a looong boat trip.

Thunder crashed outside, making him groan internally. Great. Just what he needed. Another delay. Pulling his legs up to his chest, he prepared to wait out the storm to his destination.

Partway there, an old-looking man walked back to him, eyeing him quickly up and down.

"You're a Kaguya."

It was a statement, not a question. Masaaki merely eyed the other man, holding down his lunch.

"I'm going to train you. Come out here, quickly." Again, no question was asked, instead commands were issued authoritatively. Standing, the Kaguya follow the man, preparing his Bone Claws for defense.

Upon reaching the deck, Masaaki saw that the sensei was wielding twin hand-axes, and awaiting him in a ready stance.

Frowning, the Kaguya extended his own battle claws, the bone material spurting out of his knuckles with an accompaniment of blood. Sliding his left foot backwards, he began to mirror the man in front of him. His right foot moved forward slightly, taking a stable stance that still allowed rapid movement and responses.

His left elbow shifted, moving his hand and Bone Claws with them to his waist, whereupon his wrist flicked upwards. The long Bone Claws extended upwards from his waist, blocking from the weak space between his sets of ribs down to his waist.

His right arm raised, his wrist reaching eye-level. Allowing gravity to take hold, the hand holding the Bone Claws dropped down to be level, facing the master opposite him with a tensed look.

Overall, the stance seemed very.. agile. Allowing rapid and powerful movements, although the Kaguya noted it wasn't very defensive..
