"Very nice!" Coco shouted throwing her student a bottle of water. "You're on your way Kyo" She flashed him a smile, and pulled her scarf up to cover her nose and mouth, as she leaned against the broken Tree. "I'll be teaching you shadow clone in no time." She took her own bottle out of her pack and unscrewed it's lid. "Just let me know when you've caught your breath. There's one more technique you need before you can become a genin."

(Two transformation and substitution) "okay..." He opens his water and sips slowly catching his breath he sat down and took out his little red book and wrote [accomplished clone technique note to self there might be something to this humming thing] he put his red book away and relaxed for a second

"How ya liking this country so far?" Coco sighed as she looked out over the valley below. "It's got some pretty nice views. I'll give it that." She rubbed her temples, she was much to young to be dealing with things like this all of the sudden. Kyo even more so. It was sad that the world forced kids to grow up like this.

"I miss the beautiful buildings and structures of Ame...but I guess Kumo is lovely in its own right." He said looking down he got up dusted off his clothes and looked at his sensei "ok what's next."

"Transformation!" Coco announced Creating a shadow clone next to herself. The clone slowly did the handsigns for the transformation before disappearing into a puff of smoke and becoming a Fuma Shuriken. Coco grabbed the Shuriken out of the air and tossed it to Kyo. (Not Unrolled.) "Feel it." She instructed. "It's texture it's Dimensions, it's weight. The first key to a transformation is the detail. Just like the clone jutsu. You have to know what you're about to become."

He studied the shuriken so he could fully grasp the concept of this jutsu. "I think I get it..." He focused his chakra and did the necessary hand signs as he whistled a new tune he performed the technique but sadly nothing happened. So he focused and tried again he focused more of his chakra whistling louder now and this time when he performed the necessary hand seals their was a a small poof he looked down to realize he was now pencil thin "What...no this wasn't supposed to happen...eerrr" he groaned frustrated he focused more chakra into it this time he didn't whistle instead he sang it in his head where only he could hear the song...the song his brother wrote...all those years ago...{little Kyōkan walked out side to hear what sounded like someone playing a string instrument the doing sounded so pretty he looked up at the hole in the wall and saw his big brother Fusegu playing a lute-kulele. "What is that song your playing big bruffer?" Kyōkan asked "Oh just a song I wrote a little while back while I was thinking about something important to me." Fusegu said smiling as he hopped down from the wall still playing. "Really what was so important to you that it would make you right such a pretty song big bruffer." Fusegu squatted down and looked Kyōkan in the eyes "You little brother, you mean the world to me." He said caringly.}...there was a big poof this time when the smoke cleared he was no where to be seen and all that remained in his place was a small Kunai with a chipped dull blade the wrapping looking slightly blood stained.

'Intresting.' Coco mused as she picked up the kunai. This kunai looked just a little too specific for it to be by random chance. There was a story behind it. Coco liked it. She flicked the Kunai verson of Kyo over to the tree, taking him out of the transformation. "You're doing very well Kyo. You're a true blue Rain Ninja."

She bent over and grabbed the Fuma Clone. "I know you're tired, but you've done so well so far. I think you've got one more technique in you for today." She gave him a smile as she unfolded the Fuma. "Then I'll buy you some dinner, how's that sound? But First! Substitution!" With that she'd throw her Shuriken at Kyo. It's spinning blades threatening to lop Kyo's head off. If he didn't manage to pull of the move in time the clone would simply disappear into a puff of smoke on Coco's command. Still the kid had managed to pick up on the Transformation technique in no time flat. It'd taken Coco weeks before she'd gotten it right. That was the hardest E-Rank skill there was! She had no doubt he'd get the substitution right.
