Training the Suna (P NK)

The wind gust down onto the heat ridden Sand dunes. As it did, the sand lifted up off the face of a fallen stone, remnants of the Sunagakures past. A shadow cast down over the side of a dune that surrounded a miniature Valley carved by the wind into the sand.  Daniels hair arches to the left as it looks like it is spiked softly, laying at a medium length over his silver metal head band that wraps around his head and an arch over the center of his head, his eyes are a piercing blue mixed with grey. On his face is a vented black cloth that reaches up to cover his nose and below. The cloth is skin tight so it reveals his facial features. His neck is also covered with this vented cloth and stretches over the mass of his entire body, and on his feet sandal pads are sowed into the soles on the cloth to make a different style of sandal seen. On his chest is a square style piece of armor that are connect to straps that hold a similar piece on his back, On his right shoulder is a square style armor shoulder pad, with a piece that comes off held tightly against his shoulder muscle. On his forearms is a light, black metal gauntlet that matches the style of his other armor pieces and on the top of his hand is a square metal piece and underneath are thick black gloves. On his left shoulder are three spikes the follow the form of his shoulder and a metal circular armor piece they are rising from. Over the top of the spikes half a cloak is on them, the spikes ripped through them, the cloak sleeve opens widely cover Daniels left arm. Around his waist is a thick cloth matching the white cloak on his shoulder, but lays wrapped around his waist making a cloak hang from below his waist. Infront of his groin are the plates held by white hemp string and there are the same on both of his hips. On his thys are a puffy black cloth tucked into shin gauntlets that are tightly snug around his calf's, with a square armor plate connected that rest on his feet. Their are sheaths for 4 katanas found on his back and his left hip. 

The Sun cast down into the Sunagakure's symbol on his head. The light gleaming off creating a shine that could be seen a good distance away. His silver blue eyes showing his relation to the Kaguya Bloodline. "Hmmm... If im going to be prepared for the exams I need to intensify my training. " The sleeve on his left arm pushing off infront of him. He stepped forward, his knee's bending he slid down the face of the Sand dune, his body turned to the side his right knee bent in more then the left, his right hand dragging down through the sand he hit the bottom. His body lifting up into a erect position, he walked to the center. Around him in this miniature valley was 4 dunes the surrounded the outside. If you were walking on the plains of the Sunagakure Daniel would be hidden from sight. Closing his eyes, he placed his hands together, both his index and middle finger on both hands. Slapping them together his other two fingers over lapped his left hand as he held a hand sign. Closing his eyes he focused on his Chakra, in his going he imagined a flower blooming, Chakra seemed to release from this point to 13 points through out his body, then it moved up to just under his belly button, again he imagined a flower blooming, and chakra rushed from his spot to 13 spots in his body. It slowly moved up to his core, his heart, his throat, the center of his forehead, then his chakra would lift over the surface of his body completing the cycle. Only ones with Chakra sensory or a certain Doujutsu type would be able to see this.  Opening his eyes, Daniels pupils eyes would seem to be illuminated. His hands falling to his sides, a strong gust of wind fell over the sides of the dunes down into the valley. His hair and part of his cloak would move off to the side of his body. Daniel felt like he wouldn't be alone out here in the dunes. His eyes surveying the tops of the dunes he was in search of a body or a shadow that would indicate someone else's presence. "I know im not alone out here... Where are you.."

Ryou was doing the normal, reading. He was reading up on some random series because he had nothing else to do, well at the moment. He wanted also to train his chakra control so he read upside down, using the walking on surface technique on the ceiling that he learned when he was an academy student. He hears the front door open then close soon after indicating that his aunt was home. She heads up the stairs to find him on the ceiling. "Honey, It's beautiful, why don't you go outside and maybe train?" She suggests. Ryou thinks about it not really in a huge mood to train but then again he had nothing else to do, he was almost done with his book. "Ok, I'll go train." He jumps down landing on his feet and heading to the kitchen to get some snacks while there. After he got the food he heads out zipping up his hoodie.

He has always like the training grounds. When he arrived he heard a voice from dunes. The voice asked where he was. "Um... I'm right over here, I'm Ryou Kenshin, I've never seen you before." As he say that he gets into sight. Ryou got a good look at this new ninja, he knew that the new man was a ninja from he head band shining at his for a moment went he moves out of the shine reveling his own Suna head band.

Daniel had put his chakra through out his body. He quickly turned his shoulder as he saw a shadow casting down over his back. He looked up analyzing the young Shinobi who had arrived at Daniels training valley. Daniels body twisted around as he looked up at the young boy. "Who are you?" Daniel knew that there were other Suna Shinobi be had never actually met one. He lived most of his life alone after his father had passed and now he had met one for real this time. He thought to himself "i can actually train with someone now... Perfect real life training for the exams" Daniel was quickly interrupted in his train of thought by a second shadow that had walked up behind him. Daniel turned again to the sight of a third shinobi. The shinobi stood about five feet nine inches tall.

The shinobi smirked, a bandage wrapped over his forehead, he was shirtless, typical shinboi leg wear. The bandage wrapped around his head had two long pieces that drifted off to the left of him. His body was riddled with scars and one that went up his face over his eye. "Hehehe.... Nice two easy pickins. So how about this you little pussies give me your shit and i won't murder how about that?" Daniels body stood sideways. One shoulder facing the young boy and the other towards the bandit. "Why dont you come down here and get it from me..." The bandits face quickly showed a sign of anger as daniel spoke to him. "You little-." The bandit showed a hand sign and faster then usual citizens could see the Bandit had appeared infront of Daniel. His foot planting down his right leg kicked up his fist came flying at Daniels face. Daniels right foot, stepped back and his body leaned back. The bandits body shifted infront of Daniels body his arm extended outwards. Daniel lifted his right hand pushing onto the bandits left shoulder moving himself behind him.

Daniel took two steps back. Chakra moved to the two bones located in his forearm. The two bones molded together, binding on a molecular level. As they shifted new bone began to produce, the bone molding together became hollow on the inside, then the outer shell used Daniels chakra to begin to harden to a extreme extent. The center of Daniels palm began to open, the tip of the formed blade pushing out of his body two new bones already done forming. The blade slowly sept out of his hand a slit in the cloth allowed it to exit without tearing the fabric. The bandit would be turning by now only to see the formation of a blade. "Your little theatrics wont scare me kid. Your still going to die and your friend up there is next." the blade dropped down into Daniels hand.

His fingers wrapping around a make shift hilt. He quickly launched off his back foot trekking through the sand he gained momentum. The bandit stepped back as daniels right hand swung up the blade merely missing his face, daniels left hand came up as he stepped to the side. His fingers gripping his throat, already in a upward motion the bandits feet left the ground. Daniels hand pulling his body weight off the ground he quickly switched the momentum and the bandits back was slammed down into the sand. Daniels left foot stepped back, his body weight shift he flipped back wards his left hand hitting the sand his right hand arched up releasing his blade perfectly as it went tip first straight at the bandits chest. The bandit quickly rolled to the side the blade hitting the sand.

Daniels feet struck into the soft sand and as they did he pushed off only a few inches off the ground his right foot landed his shoulder leaning down he gripped his blade and his left foot went forward. As it pressed down his body lifted with blade in hand and he was quickly on the move. The bandits hands placed into the sand hia body twisting his right foot lifted as he spun. The heel heading for Daniels face. Daniels left shoulder dropped his right foot stepping in as his body went under the kick. As he did his hip twisted and his left foot extended out for a direct strike into the bandits cheek. His leg fully extending the bandit was pushed into the air off to the left of his body. Daniels left foot planted onto the ground under the bandits body that was still in the air only a few feet off the ground.

Daniels right arm lifted his blade in hand, he was aiming right for the Bandits chest. The bandits hands quickly hit the sand and his legs lifted into a cart wheel. Daniels arm lifted in the air, the bandit saw his opportunity. As his feet went in the sand he launched off his feet his body quickly gaining closer to daniel his right hand went straight forward and in a matter of seconds his fist slammed into Daniels face. Hitting the right side daniels body shot off the to the left, his left shoulder hitting the sand he skid through through the sand to a stop. "Ill give it to ya kid. You better then i imagined. Much better. But your still going to die."

Lying in the sand sand daniels body turned to face the sand. Lifting his body he pushed himself up off the ground. Sand falling from his armor and out of his hair. He lifted to his feet. His eyes turning to the sides of his eyes. His teeth gritted against each other. He suddenly launched off his foot and was into a sprint in a matter of seconds. Daniels body wavering through the sand he gained closer to the Bandit quickly. His right foot stepped to the left side of his body, his left hip snapped outwards his left foot lifted up and his heel swung around at the bandits face. The bandit leaned back, daniels left foot swung around and planted into the sand and his right foot lifted following the motion. His right foot slamming into his face with a back to back round house. As it landed daniel dropped his foot half way down and then extended his foot slamming his foot into the bandits chest. The bandits body was pushed back. Stepping forward his left hand arched up with a sideways uppercut, his left hand striking the right side of the bandits chin, his right hand lifted up spinning the bone blade into a reverse hold. Then shooting out into a straight right it slammed into the bandits face. The bandit lifting off the ground and going back about 5 feet his shoulders slammed into the sand. Sliding back a bit. Reaching his arm back he lifted his hand once more and the blade spun against his palm once more into a normal holding position. Reaching his right hand up over his left shoulder. The bandit was in motion to lift his upper half of his body up. Daniels right hand went down infront his body his wrist flicking the blade left his hand and flew straight out tip first. 

The blade tearing through the air, the mans head was bairly lifted with both his arms behind him holding his weight. The blade shot through his sternum out through his back severing his spinal cord while shattering the bone in the upper half of his spine. Flying through his body the blade hit the sand followed by blood spraying onto the sand behind him. His arms folding forward his body slammed back into the sand. His head dropping just an inch under the blade. Daniel looked forward. Then up at the Suna Shinobi. Daniel spoke out his voice relaxed and deep, stern but soft. "That took much to long... I need to train to become faster.. Stronger..." Hit feet stepping forward he walked up to the man. His eyes still open after death, daniels cloak on his left arm swayed to the left and to the right matching his foot steps. Daniels eyes relaxed the sun came down onto his eyes showing the deep silver/blue hint inside of his iris. He reached over the man gripping his bone blade, pulling it from the sand he looked down at the bandit. Reaching his left hand down his cloak covered the Bandits face. When his hand lifted the mans eyes were shut. Lifting his head up he awaited a response from the Suna Nin that arrived with the Bandit.

Ryou, the boy that hasn't seen murder since his parents death but even then he didn't see them die. He was in total shock the events that had just happened in front his eleven year old boy eyes. "Why?..." Was the first thing that came to his mind. Ryou was impressed by the other ninja's skill but that was trumped over by the trauma induced event.

Ryou ,having the imagination of a eleven year old, was beginning to imagine the mans life before the death. Ryou thought maybe he was trying to feed a loved one with the money he would see. Then he thought even worse, like maybe he had to do it to save someone. Ryou looked at the blood stained sand. Slowly, Ryou walks over to the body seeing his eyes still open. He took is two fingers and shut the burglar's eye lids, closing his own in the process. Ryou didn't know what do with the body so he only knelt over it.

Then Ryou recalled the battle between the two sinners. He remembered the boy using bones in the battle as weapons. He looked at his own hand knowing this other Suna ninja was a Kaugya clan member as well as Ryou. The memory of his aunt talking about the clans history. Murders, as he recalled, she called them killers. They were known for there tijutsu abilities. He knew he didn't like them as they had white hair and Ryou had blonde so he knew the other didn't know.

Ryou looked apon the ninja and his head band.Is this was ninja do? Ryou was worried that he would have to start killing people because he was ninja if this was true. "Why?..." Ryou repeated as he was a little nervous. "Why did you kill him?" He finally said with enough courage, ignoring his own question asked. He look into his bright blueish grayish eyes. Thinking at was normally a good eye color, but Ryou didn't just see his eyes, or least tried to see. Ryou tried to see the pain the other must hold to be able to kill another in cold blood or even self defense.

Daniel could see the terror in the young boys eyes. His head dropped down to the ground as he took a deep breath. He watched him shut the mans eyes out of respect. Looking up at him asking him, "Why did you kill him?" Daniel was stumped for a mere second realizing that this was the boys first time witnessing something horrific. "Hmmm... I see now.. Let me tell you something. Something very important." Kneeling down Daniel flashed back to a similar incident with his father before he had died. Daniel was crouched next to a tree, his eyes filled with tears. Two bandits held his mother by her arms laughing and taunting her. Pulling her towards each other. One pulled a kunai from his pouch. Lifting it to her neck he said "why dont you give us what we want or ill kill you? Hmmm? What do you say?" His mother crying she begged them to let her go. Both of them throwing her forward she hit the ground. Walking up to her they were stopped in there motions. A man with long silver hair dropping from what seemed to Shinobi.skies above. Hit feet landing next to head. His hair picked up against the wind, standing six feet four inches tall. He had no shirt on and he had normal ninja attire on his legs and feet. "Get up, get Daniel and ill handle this." Daniels mother getting up running to daniel she wrapped her hands around his head sobbing from fear. Daniel watching his father he couldnt look away. "O captain save a hoe huh? Good then we will kill you and kill her too and we will get what we want so give it to us!" The two bandits laughed then one stepped forward, quickly he launched off his foot and came in at daniels father. His right leg lifting up to kick daniels father. His fathers left hand reached up and wrapping around his ankle his finger dug in lifting him his hand came down striking the man into the ground with a flat hand. His body bouncing off the ground he grunted out loosing his breath. The second threw a kunai at his father, Daniel cringing. Daniels fathers hand lifted up as the kunai got infront of his face catching the kunai his hand shooting down at the ground the kunai struck into the first mans head. Daniels eyes opened in terror, tears filling his eyes. Daniels father walked forward towards the second man. The man turned to run away and his father lifted his hand. Five white small dots shot out from his fathers finger tips into the mans back. "Dad! No! Why?!" His father turned to daniel walking a kneeling down. Daniel flashed back to his talk with the young Shinobi. 

"Some people, some people cant be reasoned with, no matter how much you plea, how much money you offer, some people want to watch the world burn, and create hate and kaos. That is where we, Shinobi of the Great Nations step in to protect the ones who suffer from these people. My father was murdered infront of me, by a man who hates my race of people Called the Kaguya. That man had the same look in his eyes, and if i didnt stop him. He would of killed you, and me. I do not like to murder... I despise it more then anything. But ive come to realize that as a Shinobi it is what needs to be done to protect this world from evil. Once you learn this.. You will learn to protect the innocent and your village by any means.. That is the Duty that we have taken upon ourselfs as Suna Nin. If you can try to reason with them, try to prevent this from happening but you will come to find out that sometimes there is no other way. Let today be a lesson my friend. Let me teach you, show you how to understand these thing so that some day you will be prepared." Daniels tone was sincere, and full of truth. He reached behind him and dropped down several scrolls. "How about you learn a new element? I can teach you the Lightning element and we can study Raiton Jutsu together. And maybe i can teach you the Shadow Clone Technique as well"

Ryou heard the mans advise. That brought him to his own dark memory. He was six when his parents were killed but rouge ninja. He was out with his aunt when her husband was killed along with his parents. They had destroyed the house with some kind of jutsu. For the longest time Ryou didn't know why until he found about his heritage with the Kaguya clan. It was only a theory and one that he kept to himself. There was still so much unknown about this robber ,so Ryou still dragged the body out of the training field so he could bury the body. After all they didn't wanna train in field with a recently dead body.

While he did that, Ryou heard the offer to learn lighting style jutsu. That was excited for Ryou because he loved learning new things, like jutsu and people with stories, especially if he could relate. He only new wind style so this new element could increase his jutsu variety. Also, Since Ryou saw Dan use his bones to attack.

It took awhile to dig up the grave, placing the body in and then covering it back. The work made Ryou sweat but he just brushed it off. Ryou then approaches the other ninja. "Thanks, I would like if you could teach me." He said accepting his offer from earlier. "I guess I should tell you my name." He added. "I'm Ryou Kenshin, and I guess if you are teaching me I should tell you about my element and kekki genki." Ryou felt it was necessary telling about those things, especially the Shikotsumyaku. "I use wind style and i have the same kekki genki as you, the Shikotsumyaku." Saying the name of his clans specailty was a mouth full but he had said it many times that he has gotten the hang of the pronunciation. He waited to see what Dan would saw about use being almost family.

After thinking Dan as family, Ryou thought almost worried. Does that mean I could go up to kill more often.That made Ryou think of what Yen had said to him once.'fight for yourself and comrades.' Ryou wonder if that means he might have to kill.

(TWC:971)

Daniel watched as Ryou took the body off into the distance. "My name is Daniel Kiyade. The next Sannin of the Sunagakure" smirking under his mask to how innocent the young boy is. Turning forward he thought to himself "Alright.. Time to get this all done." Daniel straightened out his index and middle finger on both hands then crossed them into a plus sign. Quickly a Clone erupted out of white smoke infront of Daniel. "Alright. We are going to start the training when he returns we will begin training with him for now. Its time." Unraveling a scroll left to him from his ancestors, it read in Japanese "Raiton Release: Lightning Javelin Technique" Daniel looked at the clone with a suddle nod the clone jumped back into the air. The wind came down the face of the dunes into the center of the Training area. Daniel looking forward he knew what was in store for this training session. Daniel read the scroll and he begun to form the hand signs. A flash back happened as he was in the midst of preforming the hand signs required for this jutsu. Daniel found himself remembering his father standing behind him Daniel sitting on a stump he was looking into the air. Daniels fathers back faced to him. His hands slammed together creating hand signs, and finally his palms smacked together. "Lightning Style: Lightning Javelin Jutsu!" A crackling sound lifted over the area. Over his body a blue hue appeared as small bolts of lightning began to flash over his body. His fathers body seemed to tense up as he did this. Daniel snapped back into reality, his hands performing the same exact hand signs. His palms slamming together he imagined his chakra gliding into his blood cells, then into his nervous system. 

The lightning began to ionize his cells and then it entered into his body. A blue hue lifted over his body quickly. His hair slightly standing up. A small bolt left off his foot and extended across the sand. Every where it touched on the sand turned to glass and shattered. Small bolts strung over his body. Letting go of his hands he looked at the Clone. "Ready?" The clone nodding Daniel took one step into a sprint then his body shot forward. Moving faster then he had ever moved before in his life he fot closer to the clone quickly. The clone stepping forward twisted his hip and lifted into the and his leg spun around his body. Daniels arm lifted and the kick slammed into his forearm. Stopping the kick with no problem his strength increased as well. Daniel pushed off sending the clones leg off to the right, stepping forward daniels left hand came up and before he could finish he was struck under his chin making him take a few steps back. A shocked look on his face he gained his balance. The clone twisting his body around on one hand landed facing Daniel. Stepping back Daniel smirked. The clone lunged in at him and reaching down he gripped the hilt of his katana. Swing it up from the side daniels hand went down the side of his arm hitting the blade it broke over his arm. Daniel pushing forward he sent his left arm into a straight jab slamming into the clones face. The clone having more chakra in it then normal ones it could take more punishment. So it waz literally sent back skipping off the ground rapidly into the of a dune. The strength Daniel possessed was amazing. Daniel lifting his hand turning it he was amazed himself at the power he possessed with this jutsu. 

The clone quickly lifting out of the sand was already in mid motion at daniel and daniel lunged off his foot reaching the clone faster his right hand went up for a upper cut, the clone moving to the side daniel knee lifted, the clone placing two hands onto his knee pushed up into the air and flipped over daniel. Landing his elbow went back for a direct slam into Daniels neck. Daniel forces his body to the side his arm swinging around straight it slammed into thw clones face and he again went flying off through the sand skipping into the dunes to a halt. Daniel standing slid his feet off to the side if his body. The clone lifting out if the dunes stepped down into the sand sliding downwards onto flatter grounds. His body having sand falling out of every crevice on his body. His eyes starring at daniel. Daniels body kept emitting tiny bolts of lightning. His eyes focusing in on the clone he could feel his body becoming faster and stronger. Daniels feet slid back into the sand his eyes set on the clone he took off hit feet pushing through the sand, he had remembered reading the scroll after the first. His foot stepping down he ducked under the first punch, his right foot stepping back sliding around the side of his body around him from behind. His hands quickly moving together, his hands clutched together creating hand signs. As he hit his last seal the clone was in mid motion to strike daniel. "Needle Hell Jutsu!" his Hair looked as if it grew and in a 180 degrees infront of him and to the sides his hair calcified and produces needles, they quickly shot out at the clone. The clone forming a hand sign was struck then turned into a log, his foot stepping down behind Daniel his leg lifted and went to deliver a axe kick to Daniels head. Daniels arms reached over his head forming a X formation. The leg slammed down onto his arms as he stopped the strike. Daniel pushed up and the clone fliped back onto his hands hand springing backwards he did 3 until he was on his feet. Sliding in the sand. Daniel quickly lifted up turning his body around. His eyes set on the clones body Daniel looked over his shoulder to see where the boy had been. Out of range burying the body daniel turned his head back toward the clone a smirk set up his face under his mask. His eyes were relaxed and his body showed the same manner. The clone stepped forward and immediately went into a sprint, his arms laxed behind him he was heading for Daniel. 

Daniel remained motionless his body still emitting a small hue over his body. Small bolts of lightning flowing around him in sudden burst. The clone gaining closer Daniel reached into his pouch behind him on his hip. His hand wrapping around a kunai he felt for a paper tag then another with a metal wire. Gripping the one with the Tag on it, he whipped it around his body and quickly threw it, while in the midst of throwing it he lifted back and jumped into the air, as the kunai headed for the ground he preformed hand signs, quickly his hands morphed together and the jutsu was complete. Much like the Shadow clone jutsu he already knew. "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!" as he said those key words. The kunai he had thrown suddenly began to replicate over and over and over and soon 100 kunais with explosive tags hit the sand. Each one pelting into the sand in front of the Clone and heading towards him. The clones body sliding to a stop he twisted around and sprinted away. The first kunai with the tag finally sizzled to the end and a loud explosion could be heard echoing for a good distance away. Then the others followed. The clone just infront of the explosions, 10 turned to 30 then 30 to 60 and 60 to 100 explosions filled the small valley. Daniels arms lifted infront of his face as sand kicked off into the air. The explosions rang his ears as it was predominantly loud as hell. Smoke lifted into the air, and out of the black smoke and charred sand his clone rushed out. The smoke enveloping his body and streaking off his body as he came rushing in at daniel. His left foot planting down his right foot lifted and in swift calculated motions his clone begun his assault. Each strike back to back as he body spun and lunged forward. Knees, kicks, punches and elbows all came in at Daniel at an alarming rate. Daniels body stepped back as his hands and forearms took the brunt of the attack blocking the strikes he was pushed back stepping back his eyes moved to every strike. Finally seeing an opportunity daniels right foot stepped in, his right arm lifting blocking an incoming punch his left foot pressed into the sand and his right knee lifted into the air and slammed against the clones chin. The strength and speed behind the strike would destroy any normal clone. But this training clone took the hit and lifted high into the air. Daniel looked up to the clone flipping backwards and straightening out and his two hands flicking infront of him.

 Two kunais came soaring down at Daniel where he stood. His right foot spun around turning his left shoulder to face the clone. Standing sideways the kunais stuck into the ground behind Daniel and infront of him. The clones body landed onto the ground infront of Daniels left shoulder. A pretty good distance away. Daniel was breathing slightly heavy, sweat dropping down his face. Thinking to himself "Good with a little more training ill perfect these jutsu for the exams." The clone was also tierd although not spending any chakra himself just avoiding Daniels barrage of Attacks as surely enough to wear any man down. Daniel knew that this was just training. But he was actually trying to kill this clone and still nothing was coming close to actually knocking him down. Hopefully when the kid shows back up he can actually train with a human and not a clone of himself.  But until then Daniel is ready to train as hard as he can then teach the young boy how to use his Shikosumyaku. Daniel was caught by a sudden flash back as a memory of his father training him came through his head. " Daniel. You will learn today how important it is as a shinobi to be as strong as possible. You always need to be prepared for the worse. As a shinobi you will be put into gruesome situations and you need to be ready for that. Especially if your going to be the Kazekage" his father smiled at him. Daniel snapped back into reality after this. Shaking his slightly the clone was nearly 5 feet from him a bone blade dropped from his hand he was quickly moving at daniel. Daniels foot slid back his left hand swiping across his body, he pushed the stab the clone had sent for his chest off to the right. As it moved his right leg lifted kicking but the clone was already under his leg twisting around his foot planted and the clone was coming up with a left hook. Daniels head tilted back as it grazed his black cloth on his chin. Taking a step back he quickly moved forward and his right hand lifted up and went straight forward the clone sliding his foot moved along aide of his arm his ledt hand gripping his elbow he yanked daniel off to the right and then a hard kick came across his gut and sent him flying back. Daniel hit the sand on his back. Sliding he went with the motion and rolled onto his feet his knees bent he lunged forward and his foot stepped down and bursted him forward. His right hand swinging out to the right side of him his clone stepped to the left lifting his left arm and pushed his hand up above him. 

Daniels left foot stepped in and he swung his left hand inwards at the clones gut. The clone unable to predict his speed was hit. As daniels fist lifted him into the air he stepped in and both hands began to strike the clone repeatedly in the gut. Over and over he lifted him into the air then pivoted his left foot and his right foot spun around as his hip twisted inwards he kicked the clone in the gut. He was sent high into the air. Daniels hands quickly pressed together and then he held the final seal. Suddenly the ground began to quake. And one spike lifted up, then another, and soon hundreds of spikes began to fly out of the ground and fly into the air. Lifting 15-20 feet high, the training field became a forrest of white spikes. Stretching across the entire training field the spikes lifted all around Daniel. In a full 360 degree area the spikes erupted into the air. Daniel disappeared from sight. The clone in the air fell down onto the tip of a spike, he quickly puffed into a cloud of smoke. Daniel was still gone from sight. In the Forrest of spikes. The wind gust down over the forrest as a eerie silence fell over the land, the boy should be done burying the hole by now daniel would of imagined.  Daniel waiting for the boy. Was standing inside of the spikes. Witnessing this jutsu for the first time he was in shock and awe. Never once in his life did he imagine that he could produces such an amazing jutsu. The blue hue from around his body disappeared and he flopped forward onto one hand. Sand falling from the sides of the spikes he was breathing very heavy. "I used to much chakra... I need to perfect these jutsu... I can't overdue it on chakra like i did this time... It will get me killed.." Daniel stood up using the bone as support and his hand morphed into the bone. Shocked he pushed the rest of his body inside. Stepping out on the other side of the spike. Daniel continued through the spikes and got closer to where the boy had left to bury the mans body. Stepping out into the sand he looked back a the grim sight. Stepping back into the shade of two spikes his body slid down one and he sat waiting. Gaining his energy back

Ryou was in awe of Daniel. Lighting style, bones, hair, shuriken, all of it when by with the fight between Dan and his clone. He wasn't surprised that he would collapse, all that ninjutsu. Ryou felt bad so he went over to his lunch bag and grabbed the bottle of water he had packed and the rice he had quickly packed along with the water. Then Ryou walks over to Dan sweating body relaxing under the shade of a spike he made. Ryou places the food by Dan and sits down next to him. He could help himself to smiles. "You sure can beat yourself up." he laughs at comment/joke. Ryou did find it smart fighting himself but Ryou didn't know how to make solid to fight against, he only knew the ninja academy taught clone technique. He has found it useful to use them as detracted from the real one. Now Ryou want the training from Dan even more.

Thinking about Dan made Ryou think about his social status. I wonder if he could consider me his friend or even if I should consider him a friend. Ryou wasn't even sure if Ryu, Kuro or Yen thought of him as a friend. Ryou wasn't even sure what to consider a friend or what it means to be a friend.

Ryou looks at his palm. Then Ryou wonders if he could ever get strong like those three or even Dan. "So..." Ryou was a little hesitant to ask in the state Dan was in. "What will you teach me something?" Ryou asks getting his courage again. Ryou couldn't be afraid to ask Dan anything, If he want him to teach him. He thinks about all that he has learned over this month, which was a lot.

Ryou's smile did fade after a while thinking about his family. After Dan gave him that talk Ryou was getting the questions that he asked himself a long time ago. Such things like, Why were they killed? Would I ever replace them? Will I forget them in time? These thoughts used to be bring him down all the time in the academy. Ryou didn't know Dan's story but he could imagine it was bad if he could kill people without thinking another thought about it. Then Ryou remember what he had about him killing, that he despised it. Maybe people like him could make peace through out the world. He smiles again awaiting Dan answer from earlier.

Daniel waiting for the boy. Was standing inside of the spikes. Witnessing this jutsu for the first time he was in shock and awe. Never once in his life did he imagine that he could produces such an amazing jutsu. The blue hue from around his body disappeared and he flopped forward onto one hand. Sand falling from the sides of the spikes he was breathing very heavy. "I used to much chakra... I need to perfect these jutsu... I can't overdue it on chakra like i did this time... It will get me killed.." Daniel stood up using the bone as support and his hand morphed into the bone. Shocked he pushed the rest of his body inside. Stepping out on the other side of the spike. Daniel continued through the spikes and got closer to where the boy had left to bury the mans body. Stepping out into the sand he looked back a the grim sight. Stepping back into the shade of two spikes his body slid down one and he sat waiting. Gaining his energy back, he stopped and looked at Ryou. His Chakra rushing into his bones, it began to stem out and push into the bottom of his muscle. Without warning. His body suddenly erupted with spikes, a spike coming out of each shoulder blade, elbow, knees, forearms, ribs, spikes came out of each vertebra on his spine, then two launched out of his palms. Daniel looked over at Ryou. "This. This Dance of the Willow. I used a variation you saw earlier where i just used a portion of the jutsu to my palms. This is a Defensive move as well, any body that is coming at you with a direct Attack to your body you can use this technique against them Causing them to hurt themself on you." Daniel lifted up and the body sank back into his body slowly. 

Forming back into his bones. "As a Kaguya, you have full control over your own Skeletal structure. By simply learning to control your Chakra. Imagine the flow of your Chakra, now imagine that flow gliding into your bones and bonding with them on a Molecular level. Each and every tiny spot on your bones being Covered in Chakra. To preform this technique you move place your chakra into the bone structure. And imagine the bone forming into spikes. You will feel some bone begin to move inside your body, but our bloodline will quickly replace the bone as soon as it is used. It hurts at first, especially when it comes through the skin. But you will get use to it eventually. Now. Give it a try. Imagine the two bones in your forearm forming together, and imagine creating a sharp tip on the end of the bone. Then imagine it pushing out of your hand. Once it happens dont stop until almost the whole thing is out. Your forearm bones will replace. Dont forget it use your Chakra first, absorb it with your bones and then you will be able to do the technique efficiently when you use your whole bone structure we will just do your forearms for now

Watching Dan do all the cool things with bones, Ryou was in awe of he and himself could do with the kekki genki. Before knowing is kekki genki he never knew that it was possible to do these things. Ryou wondered if anyone else had kekki genki that totally altered their body. One person he thought of was Kuro, which could turn into water, but that wasn't a kekki genki.

After Dan gave him the teaching about their kekki genki. This is going to take a lot of concentration if I'm doing this at the molecular level. Ryou look at his palm and imagined a bone popping out. He was a little nervous about pain that Dan informed him about. Ryou looked at Dan. "Ok Ill try, but you have to sit down though at eat." Ryou said pointing the food bag. Ryou needed Dan to get his strength.

Ryou then held his wrist. His goal for this part was to get at least get one out. He remember Dan's instructions and focused on his chakra going threw his bones. Once Ryou knew that the bone was one with my chakra, he start to push it out to where his palm was. It was a weird feeling having the bone slowly move threw his body. Ryou's skin start to show signs that something was going to come out. Then a sharp pain at his palm. Then he could see the bone. The white spike that he heard was almost as strong as steel. The spike came out as his body made a new bone. The spike was almost a foot long. "There, I think I got the hang of this jutsu."
