do you want to build a sandman? (training)

The twins refreshed from their recent training session now with a bit more purpos after many times a tribulation and further honing their art felt the calling of some greater training to come at hand. The point being that along with a few high level techniques under their belt and further a lot more work to be done with their own physical workings they proceeded out of the village for a bit more work and trainin. However there was a wondering of thought conning through the twins as they headed out. The nagging thought of training with others perhaps. As xyxer pointed out beforehand to them in their meeting as brief as it was. "So now to work among the others in the village is in the question neku. Well xyxer did say to do so. So why not we had some fun working in isolation what's another person or two gonna hurt. Other then that other person who played our game and the boy who ran away. We need a fun game to do... How about mirror mirror neku? Sounds like a fun game to play with someone after all who can argue with that game right?"

Neku while inside segri was in thought for the next thing to work on as segri for once brought up a game to his surprise. " I'm that sounds fun segri. Perhaps it should be made a grand game for improvement to a kind soul in search of fun. Now if your implying that fun tech we can totally have the amusing game with it. Let's do it! After all first person to come up with it should also have some fun with it. It's a game what can go wrong. Let's set up shall we!" Neku spoke almost joyously as he began to take out some tag sheets and began writing out five of them as seals embedding their chakra into the seals as they began to set up preperations for a fun festivity. As segri scouted out with chakra senses and all out for a suitable target.

Wandering aimlessly through the mist laden streets, the young jinchuriki was searching for something to do. Something aside from sitting around, something aside from staring at the walls, something aside from conversing with the insufferable beast. Mitako was a quiet child. His manners were about average, and he mostly stayed to himself and out of the spotlight. The beast, Shukaku, on the other hand, was a drunken burden to the boy. Boisterous, and loud, and annoying, but the only person who could hear his complaining, whining, criticism, threats, and brash manner was Mitako.

Either way, the beast was silent for now, and remained that way as Mitako walked passed a young boy he sort of recognized. Not stopping to say hello, he pressed on through the mists.

The segri smiled as he detected a decently powerful scource of chakra as the wandering aimlessly through the village streets. A smile emerged on the twins face as the festivities were in store and looked more or less amusing for them. Guess I found the person that can play our game with us and segri would more then be happy to see the results and further it'll be a whole ton of fun this way as well. Well hopefully that is. segri thought as he gave neku a small thumbs up signaling he found a suitable person to play with. Neku glanced up from his work as he looked at segri expressionless and then went back to working on the seals he was going to use. It was truely going to be an fun thing that benefits all so neku needed to concentrate on making this as fun as possible while segri looked dumbfounded at his brother as the boy walked by. The simple fun of introducing himself far paled in the light of the training exercise that was in store. As it would be quiet a fun day. Segri addressed the boy only to recongnize him as the boy with the weird aura known as a chakra cloak after a bit of reading.

The fact that the boy before wasn't as amusing before with his introduction was not a very fond memory for segri as he slowly spoke the boy's name. "Mit ka to? Was that correct? Oh I'm sure it was yeah the one that got mutilated while me and my brother got turned into the sushi dinner platter. What's up? We have quiet a fun game in mind that of course is risk free. In fact it's a training simulation of sorts. But we would like for one to try it out. Hopefully it will be quiet like a hit. We can perhaps show others their own strength and weaknesses within combat. I'm sure you have none though but we learn something new everyday right? So how about it? Besides you look bored out of your wits. Surely a day of entertainment and fun will be quiet the amusement right?" Segri stated as he motioned to neku as he headed for the gates to of course enjoy a more wide open area for training.

Neku looked over the boy quietly as he took a look back at him same guy from before? Ok then we'll he looks all right to try this with after all what's the worst that can happen. Besides this might benifit him more then us in a sense. His combat capeabilities were grand last time we saw him. Wonder how much better had he improved. Wasn't he in that blood games that ended in a uproar and a blowout of sorts as I heard. And a toy maker also known as a "puppeteer" somehow made it through unscathed.... Did he use socks or something? Perhaps he stood still while everyone socked each other in the face. Amusing!. Well it sounded like a fun fight to be honest. Perhaps should've jumped in it after all. No matter we will work on our own stuff for now. So let's get the show on the road neku thought as he fused with segri and awaited the boys response.

"The one that was mutilated," he thought. His golden eyes squinted into narrow strips, a scowl forming, had he not been one of the more level headed shinobi of Kirigakure, he'd have likely cut them down where they stood. Mitako did turn to face them though, for they had more words to speak. They offered him training? Weren't they the ones that were injured more than he was? How dare they mock him, and then look down upon him as if he were the runt of the pack, especially after he tried to defend them from further abuse. From within, Mitako heard the beast chuckle, and his mood took a worse turn for the south.

After the little spiel about amusement and fun, Mitako was about to say, "No, if training is fun then it's not training," but instead opted out for "I'll humor your silly games." His tone, as well as his expression remained unchanged, for he had nothing to be happy about. "Let's get on with this."

Silly games? Is it that goofy to make combat fun or rather more interesting to beat one to the curb? Ah well this might change the mindset soon enough. Perhaps it'll do better to just make this more of a test then. So he has a biju cloak... And weilds a sword, from recollection he got out bladed by that guy. Perhaps this will do more good then harm either way I wonder where can we stand from here. Surely a fun fuin can come from this as well as an idea of his abilities and what and how his techniques work. Observation done more good then harm. So there it lies the training session at hands to fight ones self is the ultimate test at hand. Besides that his beast may find more entertainment from his suffering. So let's get to work. neku thought but his thoughts were still rather irritated still this was for the better of the individual before them as well as being a challenge to him. Perhaps greater then that of most others. But that was simply a idea the practical application was different from the true test other then themselves it was going to lead to interesting results. "We shall begin immediately it will do some great training. Imagine a way to fight oneself unlike that of a mere clone. There will be five tags here so each one would produce such a clone as in this the clones would be quiet erratic per say so relax enjoy the fights that ensure. Might be a warm up even let's say." Neku spoke up as he handed Segri the seals in hand.


as Segri headed around the boy he was in thought at what he said upgrading the seals in the process and chuckled you are saying these games are silly should we be serious the games would be over and perhaps death wouldn't be as kind but we are village mates. Further the fact that we had a bit better a chance being two on one vs the sporadic battle sense going off the Frey and within this got cut down in that case. Surely a mirror match outta assist one in this ideology as they are out for blood and won't stop till you are down for the count or worst. Easy to look at it as a game but This would be diffrent from a natural training session Segri thought as he set up the tags in a order. First and main seal would be placed on the ground five meters to the boy's right. The second seal would be placed 6 meters behind the boy. As the third seal would be placed 10 meters in front of the boy. The fourth seal would be placed at a diagonal between the first and the third seal 16 meters from the boy and 6 meters away from the third seal. The final seal would be placed 20 meters to the boy's left. Segri by this point would jump back as would neku as the seal was complete creating the indestructible barrier being that of the five barrier seal with each tag being a mirrored sudden attacker seal.


"Lets see how this goes mitako" Segri would say as he steps back from the barrier being able to give him plenty of room to move around as he pleased at this point the twins would stand in thought as they observed mitako training. Now the fact of this training was not only their own as they wished to share as well. Hence where they were working on their own techniques at hand the such technique was one of their own as they disired an improvement for one in their posession. This here was one that remained as one of the few that required too many handsigns as a hampering of their style fighting. raiton jirashi was perhaps one of the few techniques that could live with further depthswithin understanding in fact this could use a lot less handsigns. At this idea the twins would glance at the chakra ammount first as they built up their own chakra to match that of what the technique needed while they watched mitako prepare.

Mitako allowed the twins to go about their games. In the meantime, he checked his gear. Katana? Check. Ninjato? Check. Flak Jacket? Check. Weapon pouches with assorted miscellaneous little ninja tools? Check. Sand Gourd? The most important piece of his arsenal as of the moment? Unchecked. 

The gourd sat at home, resting in the corner of the little shack that Mitako resided in. 

As the twins continued their little frantic running around, Mitako rolled the black sleeves of his shirt up to his elbow. After that, he pulled up his hood, and tucked his pants into his toeless grey sandals. By the time he was finished, the twins took to spouting more useless drivel his direction. 

"Lets see how this goes Mitako," the Twins said.

"Let us see then." Mitako reciprocated, wrapping his fingers around the black handled katana strapped to his waist. As his golden eyes peered from beyond the hood, he noticed the barrier that had been put up. A part of the training, he guessed, to keep him within. Perhaps this wouldn't be as stupid of a game as he had thought. 

The sand at his feet would begin to pulsate, moving in waves away from him. After a few seconds, Mitako would walk up to the closest, seal, wiping it away with his foot. What he didn't expect, was for a sudden copy of him to pop out of the tag. 

Immediately, he darted backwards, waiting for the copy to do something to him so Mitako could counter attack.

The clone appeared like a shadow of the self of mitako darkish in hue as it seemed to merely appear as the tag floated on the ground helplessly.same blades, like a mirrored replica thanks to the inscription of the seal. Even breath fresh from a morning meal. Yet a souless gaze cold as ice would be from the eyes as it merely stared at the chuninn in a cold calculating way. As if deciding in a instant which and what way to cut down the chuninn as it was not going to stop not till mitako was a pile of sliced ribbons on the ground.

As the boy made some room between the two of them the clone croutched as if readying itself to spring into action gripping the ninjato in its sheathed form on the right of its body. To kill was the target and soul purpose of this clone and surely mitako would feel a cold numbing feeling as his instincts would tingle not from merely a coincidence nor a frightening power. But the fact his life was nearing perilous conditions. There was no holding back as the step from the clone was confident as it boldly took a step forward it's chakra surging at to the twins it's miniscule level. The thumb of the right hand holding the sheathed blade being the ninjato flickered at a simple to read speed for both the twins and the boy itself. (Speed:100) the simple act that signified "draw thy blade" screamed in the action as the morning grey light shone off the blade. It was a time for true mortal combat and loser would either be the clone or the victim.

Then in a sudden movement the clone ducked down bellowing up the as the hooded golden eyes vanished as the sand kicked up around it. This was going to be quiet a challenge as the clone now reached out its left hand and sent the same pulsating wave of sand towards mitako as it brushed over the boot of the boy. Within the confides of the dark cloak it waited listening for the boys action should it be sand or drawing of blade as the hooded cloak fell off the clone and brushed down its right arm where the right hand gripped the neck of the ninjato the remaining of the cloak resting off its right arm as the black cloak would rest in the sand as this would only mean that in this fight the clone would go for the kill as designed. The cuninn flak jacket resting over its torsos as now the body UN inhibited was purely able to move.


The twins stared nodding silently as the boy and clone faced off. Curious to what was happening next the continued in thought as they glanced up at the standing figures just prior to doing a few things for self improvement. As neku now continued to work now the handsigns for ration hibashi and sparks of electricity formed from his palms. Memorizing and working the chakra feeling through his hands neku nodded slightly noting the power was not much and more less could live without the over bearing handsigns even as he timed himself speeding it up faster and faster he noted the time frame. dumb technique requires far more time then its actual worth as not only is it time consuming to use these handsigns for a lowly electric pulse but like the cloak with the clone truely hampers its progressive nature. What one does with hands often can lead to one losing their hands. This surely can do without now. So build its pulse hm? Not hard to do with merely focusing pure chakra throughout the hands and it's electric power would then disperse outward. Simple as day menu noted as he observed the clone and mitako face off mirror matches are always interesting to watch as the mortal in their moment's of clarity realizes that their greatest enemy is in fact themselves. These clones are perfect for practice for to truely win one must know all aspects of themselves and be able to not only slay but fight to the death. I wonder if he has made a breakthrough like we had? And surely if he did this would scale the distance. It's easy to say a weakness in training but to note the short commings Is truely the task at hand. He best be careful as he would find if not careful he would trip another tag setting upon himself another clone for the killing. But I see the sand is under his control. Yet to a degree of course and he's bladed. All sure tell signs he's possibly pretty fast

Neku thought amid his push ups as he calmly watched the two fight. Segri meanwhile studied the two fighters at a seemingly even advantage so far. As he held plank position as he worked his staying strength as he comfortably stayed in the position segri lowered his body to level the ground as he held the position and studied the two at hand.. The cloak removal made more sense to segri as the hinderance of a cloak can easily spell soon for the unfortunate sap who ends up tangled by a cloak. so who shall win a illusion of a man, or the real person? Such a tempting question segri noted as the clone prepared for a counter from the boy before him.As blades were no toy they were in fact far more dangerous in the hands of killer. The question was did mitkato have the will to fight for his life? That was to be seen. Mere silent moving and sad tricks was not going to cut it. The clone and it's yellow eyes locked on to mitkato as a slight haze would be seen as the clone took a step forward towards the boy.

Suddenly should the boy look at the clone he would note in a instant the ninjato would vanish. The fact his bijuu was not much on a friendly terms made the maneuver more believable as the clone knew that mitakto was this due to it having at least the clone value of its forms. The fact that the illusion alone required releasing as the vanishing of the ninjato would be but a simple action as the boy would need to focus on the blade alone to dispel the illusion and yet that instant told a lot more then merely an opening offensive maneuver but another action. The fact the boy needed to either act and take a risk. Or fight through it. As one wrong glance at the illusion or the slightest question would leave the boy very vulnerable (denomic illusion: false surrounding: power: 29)

The illusion would set as the clone went into action as it's right hand would sweep over to its left side of its body And at a slow speed of (10) The clone would step forward three slow steps its eyes trained on mitako as it neared mitako a good 12 meters away. And at closing three meters and it's toe brushing sand. The opportunity would occur as the clone was playing a horrible slow starting game of speeds. From slow to a heart stopping speed of (50 speed) the clone would take a quick And risky gamble. Keeping in mind that indeed the boy could take that time to reach across and slash with a quick draw Patients was the fact at hand as the clone would move to set the boy up To misplace the boys focus as like bait to a fish a slow moving target only means that as soon as an attack is done a fatal error would occur where an enemy only in its prime moment would strike. A moment of no turning back where the jaws of death would greet one or the other. The clone approached keeping the sand in mind as it stepped nearing 5 meters should the boy blink. And by the release of his breath the clone would be upon him. Cold and crule yet not striking as it approached unless proved to do so.

Mitako was always ready to exploit any and all weaknesses his opponent had. So as soon as the clone crouched, the real Mitako didn't move a muscle. The sand below their feet however, sprang up from behind the clone, and pushed him to the ground. Once accomplished, it would hold him there, like a mouse caught beneath the paw of a cat. Even the real Mitako knew his strength couldn't stand against the sand's. Since the sand was coming from behind, it would be very unlikely that the clone would notice the sand. 

Mitako would wait only a second, to see if he had truly caught his opponent in the trap. If he did, the blade within its sheathe would reflect nothing but the dull mist of Kirigakure as it was drawn from it's sheathe. After a step, Mitako would take the sword and stab it through the clone's neck. If the clone wasn't caught, Mitako would react accordingly.

Although the clone was crouched the sound of a slight whisp caught it's attention As it ducked down clearly the sand around them. So a simple accomplishment by the user of the sand however mitako forgets his own strengths may easily be used against thee and hence the sand while the clone darted to the right to avoid the sand by a diving roll as it rolled consistently for 1 meter to fully avoid the sand. Since The clone moved its arms it in fact used a little chakra as it pushed the very sand mitako used by gathering some more underneath it as it built up some power and strength into a 3 meter high and 4 meters in width wave of sand (speed:50, power:50) that would if mitako did not avoid it accordingly would knock the boy backwards. To add To the point the sand beneath mitakos would wrap around the boys boot subtly as should he try to take advantage of the roll as soon as he moved he would find that a nice snare on both of his feet would become pressed down by a good bit of sand as the heel of his feet would be lounged and slowly sinking into the sand. (Speed 50, power:50)

The clone as it rolled up to standing would push off the ground now able to move at full speed of 100 by the time any sand use by mitako would become rather tricky to land as the clone would move at a speed of 100 towards mitakoa good 4 meters away as the wave would be in full rage at this point. Unless somehow interrupted. The weapon pouch would vanish on the clones left hip as it gripped the left katana with its left hand and in A smooth fluid motion the clone would reach its right hand over to the hilt of the katana on his left hip. Thanks to the traction of its speed the clone would easily thanks to if The sand snagged mitakos feet making his dodging close to impossible unless of course there was a different circumstances as it drew its weapon however a cloak of chakra suddenly sprung up from the clone as it went straight into V1 bijuu cloak as it drew its blade. (+10 to health, speed, strength, and ,cloak has +100 actions +20 chakra) The red cloak would boost the strength of the clone as it drew its blade in a quick draw as the flashing blade would be drawn at an angle in a rising fasion from mitakos right hip to his left shoulder as the blade would move in a flash. (Quick draw: +40 to strength and speed of the attack due to the respectful natural stat buffs, note this may be in question but look over the power up rules for jutsu in the jutsu rules)

the blade would as it travels across its terrifying path would be noted of a few things as the clone flowed its chakra into it and a grand kick of lightning chakra as the blade flew through the air in a mere hum. Petels like throes of the sakura flower would line the blade and flat of the blade as it further increased its range and enabled a grand sharpness for each petel shared the sharpness of the blade alone. (Sakura first step: increases blade range increases by 1 inch, and tiny blades surrounding the blade share the same sharpness) And being sure To keep the blade away from it and prevent it from being of terrifying harm. That and lightning chakra coursed through the blade and petels amazingly as this was a grand enhancement to the blade overall as the sharpness alone would become almost inhumane in that case and point. (Lightning release: chakra blade: +20 to sharpness, plus numbing effect)

sharpness however would be abstronomically high with all these heavy boosts as the slash alone would be at a speed of 150 (thanks To the boosts of speed from the v1 cloak, and quick draw) but the sharpness would be 225 all around the blade( 50 base sharpness of katana + 155 from sharpness buffer from the use of the quick draw, and base stats) the clone would cut and dash past the boy mitako as by this time even if he were to do a thing to prevent it the speed was blindingly fast As well as dodging was out of the question thanks to the sand rooting him unless he could avoid it which would be doable. The slash alone would kick up sand all around them as the power of the chakra cloak would surge out mid slash and a chakra hand would sweep out from the right of mitako and aim to sweep his feet below him extending past him at a speed of 110 and sweeping at the heel with the full arm with a strength of 60 and speed of 110. This would occur as the slash would be half way to mitako as a streak of orange chakra would shoot past the boy's right hip as an extended arm. should mitako dream of ducking he would find a dreadful sweep would prove almost terrifying in his moment of truth.

The twins were able to keep track of the clones movement's but even then had to raise an eyebrow at the swords speed and throes enhancements to it. Neku whistled impressed and gave a nodd of approval at the get up. he definitely has some nice stuff there the blade despite a toy was pretty damn fast as I can note , that and the fact the chakra cloak is quiet a show as well to think that this training method outta really pull the best out of him this is merely one opponent and further he has 4 more to boot. Imagine the learning he's gaining from all of this on a full bent killer variation of himself. Hopefully he bests the clone as this is some good stuff. To gain upon. And that cloak would be absolutely monstrous to deal with... Very impressive mitako neku would note as he continued to break down the technique further as he was nearly there weaving the handsigns once more neku completed it and studied the effect. a full pulsating wave of electrical chakra as the gain. And no handsigns to boot. Oh the fun at hand this will be very fun indeed. neku noted as he had to admit that the work while it was nearly done the full technique would be solely useful when it would be a use up close and personal. Such a fine technique to neku as the other one required even less work to be used.


Segri meanwhile would continue holding the plank position And he would raise and lower his legs as he watched the clone and mitako fight. Observing the drawing method and noting that most techniques within weaponry had a set up before an onslaught assault. Easily a misleading weakness for drawing in unsuspecting foes. Yet also its a style of risk taking to commit fully to an assault knowing the consequences at hand but accepting them. yeah it's a fast attack as do all welders of blades note. Yet there's a reason why even blades although ideal don't always cut it. Yet mitako should be able to handle this. After all he his fighting himself. segri noted as he peacefully observed the fight although the sand control was a bit too much to him it was quiet amazing nonetheless.

Could Mitako's next move even be called trying? As soon as the clone touched the ground during it's roll, the sand below it would impale the clone in a trio of spikes, which formed rather rapidly. The clone, which wouldn't likely suspect the spike to form, would probably be stabbed by the spikes and all that. If he didn't, Mitako's hand would dive into his weapon pouch, and retrieve a kunai. Then, with his full speed and strength, he'd toss it at the heart of the clone. If the sand wasn't enough, the clone would also likely be struck by a lightning covered kunai, as he was already moving, and would be unable to easily shift directions mid roll.

If both of those missed, the sand under Mitako's feet was already under his control, so it wouldn't trap his feet as the clone intended to do. Instead, Mitako was eager to get this over with. BIJUU CLOAK ACTIVATE! (Only if the clone somehow magically avoids the sand spike and kunai tho)

[I'll add up the stats/AP later, but it'd be very unlikely that the clone could avoid the kunai, given that he isn't moving at full speed, but the kunai is moving faster than the clone is during the roll.

Also. You can't go from resting to full speed in one post. Due to the time lining in my previous post, and you acknowledging the time lining by avoiding the sand, you shouldn't be able to move at full speed.]
