Hoshigakure Second Class (Open to all Hoshi Genin)

"Oh, I know this technique. During my training expodition, I required its use in order to cross a river without falling into the fast current." Taiyo thinks, turning from Akihana in the back of the room to the front corner, the one farther from the door. "Let's make that my destination."

In an instant, the chakra flowing through Taiyo's body is amplified in potency and enhances his body so that his speed is increased with the formation of the ram seal. The short burst allows him to perform one dash to his destination as he disappears in a blur, moving at 90 speed.

In the same second which he disappears, Taiyo reappears in the corner of the room and facing the rest of the room. 

"That was it, right? Is that what you were looking for?" He asks.

Darkness was awed, aki moved so fast, and Darkness like moving fast. Darkness was determined to try and master this jutsu. so she stood up and made her way to a corner. she tried butting her chakra in her legs and casted body flicker. but it didn't work. so she kept at it, not giving up. it was harder then she thought but it was more so because she was not use to jutsu that well. darkness tried casting the jutsu again. but no luck. she frowned slightly. but kept trying to do it not giving up. she was happy that she found a new thing to train for but she was confused on how to do said jutsu. she saw how taiyo did it and she tried doing what he did but it didn't work. "man this is harder then I thought it would be, just means it will be more fun to do." she said to herself. and she tried it again and again, but her chakra was stubborn and didn't let her actually do the jutsu. instead she looked stupid doing the ram seal over and over. she sighed a little bit and tried to figure out why it did not work. hmmm why isn't it working, am I using the jutsu wrong, am I not focusing hard enough, I don't know... she paced a bit trying her hardest to think what she was missing.

Being in his seat it allowed him to look at the others that had came in before him and few that had came after him, allowing him to make a pretty good evaluation on the people he could eventually be fighting alongside. From the one that had came in after him, Dusk could not actually tell what he was looking at. What threw him off the most had been the fact that they had been wearing things a woman would generally the makeup and what not but the actual physical build made him think of a male which...kind of confused him. Further that the young blue haired male had caught the facial structure only made him even more confused but that was a discussion for another time. Looking to the others, he acquired sight of another set of males and one female making the classroom quite interesting group of people but he his head had just...turned.

Looking at the door he simply stared for a moment as he blinked...someone had the theatrical for the flashy life though since he was always upbeat about things he wouldn't say anything verbally the mental thought of this young male were less than superb. In any case his eyes soon turned to Akihana with a small wave as she began to go through what they would be learning, the male wanting to do some Elemental lessons but learning jutsu was just as good. Mentally he wrote down everything she had been mentioning about this new jutsu - The body Flicker. As she waited for the others to try and attempt the jutsu, the young male tilted his head back and forth for a moment thinking of ways to use said jutsu without smacking face first into the wall..

While she had mentioned it was simply using one's own chakra to vitalize the body in order to make it move faster, he was sure that if he had done so...how would he stop? So like the smart cup of water he was he pulled out a pencil and began to draw something on his desk, a diagram if you will. Slowly he mapped out something that only he would understand (mostly because of his handwriting and the other because he used weird symbols he made up) to surmise the Dusk plan 1.0. Immediately after drawing it he began to formulate his plan in his head, using his chakra like a fucking river and pushing through his body like a hydroelectric dam. With the two in conjunction he pushed his body forward with grace and speed and...stopped in front of Akihana "Hi" only words he could muster before waddling out of her way and standing off to the side.

Her fingers found hold in a small flagpole. She pulled herself up, feeling beads of sweat fall down her brow. She sidled along the edge of the building until she came to an uneven, bricky area; perfect for climbing. A small part of Shika was yelling and swearing at herself for not using the Surface Walking technique, which was far easier and quicker. Another part of her told it to shut up, because climbing like this would build balance, strength, and prepare her for a day when she might not be able to use that jutsu. Besides, she was already late for class; her apartment was located in the outer reaches of Hoshigakure no Sato, and she decided that she'd rather sleep in a bit to help boost her recovery from some nasty steam burns she had received a while back.

Eventually, she found the windowsill that would (hopefully) lead into the correct classroom. She pulled herself up onto the narrow ledge, opened the window with one hand, and slid into the classroom. She stretched and clenched her fingers to try and get some feeling back into them before closing her entryway. "Hey, Akihana-Sensei!" she called out, waving her hand. "Hey, Koga! Sort of sorry for being late. On the plus side, I've discovered that candy shops are surprisingly climbable, and that burns aren't good for doing just that." She scratched the back of her head, vaguely wondering what to do now. "So, how've you been holding up?"

The loud sounds at the end of the hall were nearly possible to ignore, brass music and chattering of children.  How could the boy sleeping in the classroom get a wink of sleep?  Castiel  stood following the ruckus and would wander down the corridor, he would hug the wall in an attempt to remain unnoticed and prevent too many stares.  The red eyed boy would likely appear as though he had just woken up.
 
"An opportunity to train would be nice," Castiel would think to himself.  Just before Akihana would begin her training of the body flicker technique Cas would manage to slip in relatively unnoticed, because going completely unnoticed would be impossible.  The doughnuts on the counter were nearly gone and what remained had started to harden not looking the least bit appetizing, so Castiel would shy away and avoid them, instead choosing an open seat near the back hoping to blend in and become a ghost.
 
He would watch as Akihana began teaching the basics of the body flicker technique and explained its uses.  He would scan the hand movements and dedicate the information to heart as best he could.  Castiel would hope that he could acquire the basics without having to stand in front of a crowd of people and perform the jutsu poorly.  His red eyes flicked around the room as he sized up the other genin in the village.  Many he had seen in passing though he had never sopke to any of them at great length.  His hands would move and form the ram sign over and over, slowly at first until he began getting the hang of the movement.  His hand would move more adeptly as the time passed. 
 
A yawn would inadvertently escape his mouth, and he would raise his hands in the air and stretch, leaning back in the chair and getting more comfortable.  Learning basic jutsu was nice but Castiel secretly hoped that the woman doing the training would show a genjutsu for the boy to learn, since that truly was his area of expertise. 
 
The room had turned into a myriad of individuals standing about attempting to use the technique, and the skinny boy started to nod.  His head falling forward and chin finding a home on his chest.  Castiel's blood red eyes would slowly close as his mind would drift off to peaceful slumber.  Though he had been thinking about the shunshin jutsu before passing out, and as it were it seemed to meld in his mind giving him a small deal better intimacy with the knowledge he had just gleaned.  It would take something more than the chatter of the genin to wake him from his nap, though if the instructor spoke again that would suffice to wake the boy up.  In his dreams and meditation the technique would sink in until he got the grasp.

Sasuke yawned and broke off a piece of the doughnut in front of him before popping it in his mouth. He took no notes but instead memorizing the schematics of the technique as explained by the instructor at the front of the room. She gave a flashy demonstration which was quite entertaining and gave Sasuke something to look at as he ate his snack. When she was finished, the boy stood up and brushed off the crumbs before trying his hand at the technique. He thought it extremely odd that the teacher found it appropriate to practice a technique like that in the classroom but he said nothing and kept practicing again, and again, and again. He zipped back and forth down the aisle of the classroom. Each time was not as good as the last, he opted to use the version of the technique that stacked his speed and his strength together. It was not an easy technique to learn but he made some progress.

(How many words is this tech again?)

"Psh. easy" The young blonde spoke, rolling her eyes as she turned from her place still in the front of the classroom. In true ashareial fashion she formed the seal Akihana showed them and somehow perfectly mastered the technique. She disappeared from view thanks to the powerful strength of her chakra, moving at a blinding one hundred and thirty speed she zipped out the door, returning slowly with a large metal cart with various odds and ends that would seem completely useless to any who weren't aware of the intricacies of puppetry.

"Ashareial. Stop. Showing. Off." Rei performed the seals, attempting to concentrate her chakra as Aki explained, before turning her attention to the other students. "Um. If it's useful, Strategically the exact positioning of each finger can be imperitive in the correct performance of the technique and well.... Hand seal theory is someting I excel at so I'd gladly help out if anyone is having an exceptional ammount of trouble! " In emphasis she'd allow any actually paying attention to her words her seal formation. It looked like something out of a jutsu handbook, each finger positioned perfectly as if she'd spent minutes moving and shifting, but it was clear that the formation was natrually how she performed hand seals.

(Ashuron is taking darkness and koga along for the ride because being helpful is fun)

Ashuron raised an eyebrow as he watched some people, like the two girls who came in right before him, and a couple of other kids that came before him as well, perform the technique perfectly and others falter. He nodded his head sagely before walking about to a couple of students that hadn't succeeded. He calmly shrugged his shoulders as the way to really perform said technique had come to him pretty quickly. The trick was the use your chakra in an overwhelming force around you for a brief moment and use to take you to the location. The chakra simply used your bodies natural speed as a base and then added to it. He gently placed a hand on the shoulders of Darkness and Koga, although he didn't know their names. "Don't resist this.." He said simply before he channeled his chakra around them, opening it up to both Darkness and Koga so they could feel how he channeled it through the physical contact, and moved them to stand before Aki at a faster than normal pace. He hadn't trained enough to build up his chakra and speed to high levels yet, but he was certain it was obvious the technique was performed. He gave Aki a wave with a wink that obviously no one else could see since they were in front of them all and grinned "How was that Aki-Sensei?" He asked with slight chuckle before simply walking back to his spot on the wall. He didn't see a point in wasting chakra to get back.

When he turned around he noticed a boy sleeping in the back, he raised a curious eyebrow at this as it seemed he was simply blissfully asleep in the world of dreams. He grinned as a prank idea came to his mind. After all he was a natural born prankster. He walked over to the boombox the young girl from before had used to make her entrance and moved quietly over to the sleeping boy in the back. He would then place the boombox right in front of him and press the play button, using the moment for the machine to register the fact that the button had been pushed to sunshin back to his original position against the wall near the students, across the room from the kid. After the boombox started playing it's ridiculously loud racket again he'd give a small leap in fake surprise and turn around quickly as if he hadn't noticed anything, keeping the knowing grin off his face at the same time, and adopting a look of slight shock.

Almost as soon as she'd finished speaking, the large classroom broke out into a spur of activity, young ninja eager to try out the new technique and old ones ready to show off a technique they already knew. A few of them like Darkness and Koga seemed to be having trouble while others like Taiyo and the twins appeared to have mastered it already. Before she could give out more helpful instructions though, little Dusk appeared in front of her, having executed a full body flicker via heavens only knew what method. Giving him a hug in congratulations, she moved around the room, trying to instruct yet keep out of the kids way. Half a dozen or so genin randomly appearing and disappearing in one place certainly made for an interesting class.

When Ashuron executed the near perfect movement, the kunoichi grinned at him, the word sensei felt odd from his lips but she had been called worse. Once everyone had at least grasped the basics of both body flicker variants, she turned made her way to the front of the class once more.

"Alright you guys, you've either successfully performed the tech or are definitely on your way to doing so. Now lets talk about something that goes hand in hand with speed. Teamwork. Often in battle, it is very ill advised to go in alone without back up. But how do you summon back up quickly and efficiently?" With that, the blonde gestured to the glass sheet that had held the diagrams and written information on shunshin. Immediately, the words on the sheet scrambled in a multitude of colors, rearranging themselves in the mechanics of the summoning jutsu.

"Now, summons are usually our animal friends we call into battle, but it's easy enough to practice without a summon contract. You're all genin so you know how to make a clone." To demonstrate, she performed the seals and a clone appeared. "In order to summon people, animals, items, you should try marking them first. Focus on leaving an imprint of yourself, a tiny spec of your chakra on your clone." With that, she touched her clone lightly on the shoulder. The clone, once marked, moved to the door.

"Now I need to summon her," Akihana stated, performing the seals slowly so that everyone could keep up. "You have to think of yourself as a thing that pulls those you marked to you. Imagine yourself as a chakra magnet, and the things and people you marked as bits of metal that are irresistibly attracted you, and then," her golden eyes closed for a brief second. When they opened, the clone stood beside her in a puff of smoke.

"Help will always be given to those who ask for it. Now you guys try."

From standing in the corner of the room, Taiyo begins walking back over to the spot from which he had used the body flicker technique. After half way to this spot, though, he forms the same blur of an image where he had been while making his way across the area between the corner and his destination. Reappearing at the intended location, Taiyo finds that Akihana is now walking towards the front of the room.

Hearing her explanation of the mark seal jutsu and summoning jutsu, he prepares the hand seals to create the clone which is required in order to replicate the instructor's actions. The clone appears beside Taiyo and he rolls up his short sleeve so as to be able to leave his chakra upon the skin.

"She just touched he clone, that's all that is necessary to leave your chakra on them. It seems as simple as concentrating chakra and letting it flow into the skin of the recipient." Taiyo thinks, lifting his finger to the clone's shoulder. He draws his chakra towards the pointer finger of his right hand and places it onto the shoulder of his clone. "That should be enough, the technique is not incredibly advanced, only an E-Rank."

Lifting his finger from the clone's shoulder, Taiyo takes one step back to see the mark seal. It is a small, almost hard to see, red glowing dot no more than a few millimeters in diameter. In fact, Taiyo moves forward in order to view the mark seal with more detail.

Moving away, he claps his hands together. "That's been done. Now, I will need to summon my clone." Taiyo has the clone roll his sleeve down now that it no longer needs to be rolled up and looks around for a nice open area to summon his clone to. This way, he can test to see if the mark seal works and attempt to perform the summoning jutsu at the same time.

"That corner looks good... what's with me and corners? I used the body flicker to transport myself into the corner in the front and now, the corner in the back. Coincidence, I guess." He, just as he had done before, starts his strides towards the corner which he intends to end up in and begins the body flicker to finish the travel. The same blur occurs as did prior, being Taiyo's form of movement.

Reappearing the back corner of the room, Taiyo turns and faces his clone who is now facing him, the original, as well. He kneels, facing away from the corner and uses both of his hands to begin forming the first of the five summoning jutsu seals, the boar seal. His wrists bend at a ninety degree angle with his fingers towards the floor. Next, the dog seal. His hands separate and come back together, the basic transition between any two hand seals, with his right hand being placed over the back of his left hand which is balled into a fist, the back of his hand facing upward towards his right palm. Third, he forms the bird seal by connecting the pointer and little finger of his right hand to the same fingers on his left hand. The two between the extended fingers curl into the palm, the center segments of those fingers touching each other. Both of the thumbs meet closer to his chest. Following the bird seal, Taiyo performs the monkey hand sign, moving his hands so that the palms face each other. His right hand's palm faces upward, the fingers flat, and his left hand is placed on top of the right. Both of the palms face each other. Finally, the ram seal. Taiyo separates and recombines his hands once more, this time his pointer and middle fingers standing upright and lean against each other. The ring and little fingers of his left hand cover the same fingers on his right hand, thumbs crossed at the back.

Looking up form his hands at his clone, Taiyo takes a deep breath and concentrates on the mark seal which he had placed. Exhaling, he slams his palm onto the ground and the black marks of the summoning jutsu form around the area of impact. Lifting his hand, a puff of smoke rises from the center of the black marks.

"What probably happens with this jutsu is the hand seals opens a sort of chakra portal. This happens when the chakra flows into the ground or surface and the black marks are formed. In order to hold a portal open, one that connects one area of space with another, requires energy in order to stay open. The energy in this case, is the user's chakra. The hand seals allow the connection to be maintained just long enough for the object or individual to pass through it before it collapses due to the chakra running out. So that a target can be chosen, the user needs to focus on the chakra which they left behind on that object or individual. The portal needs to have two sides, two openings. And the openings know where to be based on the location of the user's chakra." Taiyo thinks, looking into the smoke cloud that poofs in front of him. He stands and continues theorizing about the jutsu's execution. "For a stable portal, the chakra of one opening should be the same chakra as is on the other side. My chakra source, the source drawn by the hand seals, is the first location for the opening on my side. The chakra which I have left behind on the target, in this case, my clone, is the chakra source used for the second end of the portal to lock on to. Combining that chakra with the chakra drawn using the hand seals creates a portal that can stay open long enough for the object, person, or animal in question to be taken through. At the same time though, not enough chakra is taken so that the portal remains and anything else can move through it. Quite an ingenious technique, actually, a good use of chakra as an energy source."

As the smoke begins to clear, Taiyo can see the outline of his clone materialize into sight. Leaning to his left and looking around the white cloud in front of him, he eyes the location where the clone previously was. There too, is a white poof of smoke just beginning to dissipate.

"Then the jutsu must have worked." He thinks, seeing that there is no figure within the cloud. "Unless the door closed before my clone could make it through to the other side. But when would that happen? It takes very little time for the transportation to occur. The portal makes it as if the location of the object or individual being summoned and the location of the summoning jutsu's use are right next to each other. Space-Time, in this jutsu is warped like folding paper. One end is brought to the other end and the distance between the two is nearly zero. Even though it takes a great amount of chakra to hold the portal open, only a small amount is needed to keep it active for the split second that it needs to be. After that, the target of the summoning should be right where the black marks has been. I should be correct..." Taiyo pauses as the white poof in both locations finally thins out and he stops his leaning to stand straight.

Standing before him, his clone smiles and holds his thumb up to Taiyo to which he smiles back and brings his own thumb up into view.

"Success." They say in unison.
