Post-Cat-astrophe [P - NK]

Akira couldn't help but let out a light chuckle when he saw his student blown skyward. It just went to show that having a lot of chakra could perform truly devastating results. Even when the jutsu used wasn't neccessarily a high-ranked one. Bet she didn't think it'd be capable of doing that. "Hey, Air Amegakure. How's the view!?" He couldn't help but tease her as she flew off into the distance. Almost a Team Rocket Blasting Off Again moment. Yeah it was mean, really mean infact. But that was the way kids had to learn nowadays. Call it tough love. The more of a beating she took in training meant the more of a beating she could take on the battlefield.

He saw her get caught on the tree and Akira was prepared to unsheathe and throw his sword to cut her scarf and free her, but he could see that she already had the means to get out of it. And she did with a swift cut through the fabric of the shawl using a shuriken. Good, at least she came to training with a couple of tools instead of nothing at all. "Y'know, this is time for training. Not hanging around." He hollered after her as if the pain of her getting hanged wasn't enough she'd also have to deal with Akira's catastrophically bad jokes, along with calling him Senpai. Really wasn't her day huh?

Akira meanwhile was having great fun. And he hadn't even gotten to the thick of their very first training session yet. It would get so, so much worse in future. But he wasn't gonna announce that to her yet. 

He grinned as she got to her feet, seeing the cut threads land onto her shoulder and the courtyard floor. It was time for the real training to begin and she thought she'd be slick and throw something at him, obviously ignoring the "if you hit me with something I'll kick your ass" rule he thought he made very, very clear earlier on.

Akira sighed and curled his fingers around the grip of his clan's Katana, Moshin, a blade which seemed to glow white and with an almost blinding divine white light he performed one fast slash and sheathed his sword almost in the blink of an eye. And with that the shuriken was cut cleanly in half. Both halves missing Akira entirely and pinging off the courtyard floor, both halves hitting some training dummies in the background. "Bad move." He gloated in English with a grin. This training also allowed him to show off a little, yeah it was kinda asinine but he had to give an example of how strong she could be provided she stuck with Akira's unorthodox and intense training.

"You think you're ready just cause you performed the jutsu right? That's a pretty bold claim you're making. Sure, you nailed it but..." He grinned, placing a can. Not a bottle, a can. A can of Red Bee. A Kumogakure energy drink, an empty can of course as he wasn't gonna let all those electrolytes go to waste. And with that he channeled lightning chakra through his leg and delivered a swift kick to the can, blasting it forward like a laser beam. "Can you stop this!?" He was about to bend this can like Beckham, direction? Straight at her forehead. Obviously using a can instead of a bottle, hitting a glass bottle at this kind of speed would probably kill the poor girl, an empty can would make sure it did nothing but hurt. A whole damn lot.

Ah man, no Coco didn't even have a full scarf to hide her surprised look underneath. Well she certainly wasn't expecting him to avoid the attack quite like that. That was either a mighty blade, or a mighty sword arm behind that swing.  Coco didn't want to be on the wrong side of that. She appreciated good swordsmanship. She was pretty handy with a blade too, or at least she liked to think she was. IT was nothing compared to that piece of Weaponry Akira had just unleashed, that guy was truly impressive. She was going to have to take a look at that thing, when they hit a resting spot.

Now he was giving her the "Don't get cocky." Speech. How cocky to she be? She almost got killed by a tree and a scarf. Coco rolled her eyes. She'd known The Jutsu before she even knew him. Oh well She knew better than to get in the way of a man and his ego. She prepared herself for the next phase of training. Well come to think of it, that hadn't even been phase one. That was just the intro. She saw him pick up a can, and wonder just what he had planned/ Then When she saw it crackle with electricity she, blanched. Chakra Infusion? Well this guy was just fool of suprises. She wondered why he was so easily over taken by the cats on their last trip. Well Coco couldn't blame him, Ninja cats were some of the strongest opponents a ninja could face.

Okay time to Deflect this this out of the way!!! When he launched it at her she couldn't believe how fast it was going. It almost looked like space was warping around it! It didn't even tumble in the air. It spun, like a bullet coming out of a gun! Not that Coco knew what a gun was, but still! It glowed sinisterly as it barrled towards her. That can was going to ruin her day if it rammed into her skull.

No! She couldn't let herself be freaked out by this! She narrowed her eyes and got serious. It was only now that she noticed the strange color Akira's eyes had taken on. They almost looked demonic. What was going on? Flying can now this!

 
She summoned up her Chakra. Letting it flow though her system. This can was about to get Coco'd!

Wait. He never told her the hand signs for Great Breakthrough. Oh man she was going to have a great breakthrough alright. Right through her skull!

The Tin Slammed into her skull, sending her head flying backwards. She managed to keep her feet planted on the ground though. So she ended up doing a bridge with her neck and shoulders carrying all the wait, while her legs stayed firmly on the ground as well. she felt like a pretzel.

She had a splitting headache, but apparently that can had literally nocked some sense into her. Because without her knowing it, he hands started to from hand seals. Never you mind that they were still pointing straight at the sky. "Tiger → Ox → Dog → Rabbit → Snake" She moaned. She wasn't sure what hurt worse, her head or her back. "Wind Style: Great Breakthough."

With that a massive Torrent of air burst forth from her body, sending twigs, and leafs soaring away. At the same time, the torrent propelled Coco's body into the ground, like a personal jet. Sinking her a good inch, into the soft soil of the garden "Owy."

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" He shouted after the can. Determined to see what this monstrous kick could do. He was very enthusiastic. He only ever dreamed of having a student. Perhaps the lack of a sensei made him more determined to be one himself. To be there for a student to teach them to protect their village and families. Unfortunately for Akira, he had no one to protect any longer. But perhaps now he did since joining Kumogakure.

He placed the side of his hand against his forehead, as if using makeshift binoculars to see how far and how fast his can went, and if she defended it or not. Turns out, he'd completely forgotten to show her how to do the technique. Shit. That was his fault and he knew it. But at the same time, the clank the can made when the can smacked her forehead, and the fact that it echoed all throughout the temple, and by the sounds of it the village. People were probably awake and cringing, knowing someone somewhere got hit by whatever that was.

Well, that was what Kumogakure's Blue Cyclone was capable of doing. He couldn't help but stifle laughter at the side of her all tied up from receiving it to the face. In fairness he expected her to go flying but infact she stood perfectly still. This kid was tough, he liked her. "Pff...Pffffttftftft. PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." He couldn't help himself, but it wasn't laughing at her, she'd be able to tell he was impressed with how she held up, at this point a lot of kids probably would've cried, but she merely stood quiet and stuck with it.

He calmed down his laughter and walked towards Coco once all the smoke had disappeared. In fairness he figured pretty much every wind user knew that technique. Perhaps she was more of the hipster kind then. "Not gonna lie I thought you'd know the handseals since every Fuuton user ever has heard of em. Guess I was wrong." He shrugged, with the same grin on his face. Such was Akira Shinkou. A hot mess of a sensei, and very, very unpredictable.

"You're pretty tough, Coco-chan. It's a trait which will serve you well."  He smiled warmly at her, finally removing the whole 'rough sensei' aura, and more of who he really was as a man. But it seemed as he got too close, she remembered them. The can obviously giving her some sort of divine intervention. Seemed she had known the handseals before. 




Only bad thing is is that she blew all the leaves off the Sakura tree. But, it was beautiful, petals seemed to flutter and circle the entire courtyard. The fresh, shedding leaves sparkling with a pink glow. As if they were rare gems instead of mere leaves. "This is...Beautiful..." He stuttered, almost a tear forming in his eye as he gazed upon the sight she had created with a dusted pink blush. He didn't even care that she basically vandalized an entire tree. He looked at Coco, that was awesome. But she was in a far less awesome state, she was basically stuck into the ground.

His expression softened, a broad smile on his face as he helped the black haired woman up. "You did it! Cool!" He congratulated. Cool in English of course. Kumogakure spirit seemed to be contagious in the case of this man. "Ya didn't deflect the can though but that's alright cause you pulled it off eventually. That was a perfect jutsu." He smiled at her, giving her a pet on the shoulder. She was dusty but it was alright.

"The next stage of our training is in the kitchen. If you'd care to follow."
