A Day of Training

Wait, she could actually teach him that? That was great. He couldn't believe that this training session would be like this? Usually, he would keep his cool and show his intellect. But all his mind was focused and dedicated to her. He swore that she would be a great seduction specialist, she seemed like a natural. His point was proven more as she leaned into him and cuddled against him, making his heart beat even faster than before.

She continued to talk and he could barely listen as she leaned against him. Instinctually, he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her in a hug. It was... really nice. As an orphan who didn't really have anybody, this was just really warm and nice. Hugs were ten times better.

Sanae turned around and laid against him, her back against his chest. He subconsciously wrapped his arms around her stomach, placing his head gently on the top of her head, taking in the scent. It was nice, pleasant, pretty. 

"Mhm..." He muttered as he barely listened to her. He was entirely infatuated. He only got knocked out of his daze when she started to run through hand seals. Boar... Rat... and Snake. He let go of her and put his arms in front of her, performing the seals as she did. As he hands glowed green, he would smile and then press them gently to her stomach.

"How does that feel? Is it working?" He whispered in her ear. However she responded, afterward, he'd let her go. "Go get your kunai. Just know I'll miss you for the short duration you're gone."

Man, what a training session.

Once again a training was turning more or less into a cuddling session. Well as far as Sanae was concerned she loved to cuddle even more than to train, but was this the purpose of things? No it was not, but it was nice. His arms felt warm around her and although she knew she was the stronger one it was protective. Warm arms where always a safe place and then he put the glowing hands onto her stomach and yes it felt like was working quite fine, but if it was strong enough she would soon be seeing. "It felt nice, but we have to test its efficiency", she said as she had taken the kunai into her hand. She held out the other arm, her left one and took a deep breath.
Even with a kunai in hand she needed to assert some pressure to really inflict a wound on her arm so she pressed the blade against her skin until she could see blood. Then she looked at him with a kind of playful expression holding out her slightly cut arm: "Illumi-san, I have hurt myself, could you please heal it?", she chuckled a little at the end, she had several times told Hikari that she hated to see her hurt, but now she did it just like the jounin would have done, but it simply was the best way to teach it properly.

Illumi winced as he saw her cut herself, he was hoping that it wouldn't come to that. He nodded as she asked if he could heal it and ran through the hand seals again. He pressed his hand to the cut gently, allowing the warm chakra to encase the wound and let the medical jutsu do its job. In a matter of thirty seconds, the wound had sealed itself. Illumi looked down at her arm where the cut had been. it seemed that it repaired the skin perfectly, no scar or anything.

He ran his fingers over where he healed her, fascinated with the work. If he wasn't so dedicated to combat, he would've definitely become a medic. Maybe he would consider that further in his career. It seemed that he could help the village not just through combat, but through healing.

Illumi threw away those thoughts right in time to realize he had run his fingers gently across her arm more times than necessary. He blushed and moved his arm away. He was getting too distracted. He moved away from her and took a deep breathe, running through the hand seals again and holding his palm out, watching the intricate medical chakra come out from his palm. He concentrated harder on the jutsu and watched as the chakra grew denser. He was satisfied.

The jutsu disappeared into the air.

"What now, Sanae-sempai?" Questioned Illumi, seemingly more relaxed. Less flirting and more working.

Asking for a mid-thread claim, please.

She smiled as he covered her would with his hand and she could then feel how it healed quickly. Another close look as he lifted his fingers and she nodded at him: "You did well, I am impressed. It is good to know at least a little healing", she said and looked at his fingers still gently stroking her arm. She blinked a little at it but since it was not a bad feeling so she did not mind it, but as he said what next. "Well you said you wanted to know the substitution Jutsu", she looked around, since they were on the academy grounds there was a small shack with all kinds of material to train with. "We will need something about half our weight to try this one", she pointed to the shack, "Let's look there if we can find something in there. You can be a bit lighter."

So she walked over and opened the door carefully and looked around inside. "Oh yes Logs, I love logs", she said pulling one out about a fitting size for her weight. "Maybe you can find one for yourself, because I don't really know your weight", she grinned at him with a playful wink. Then she walked on to the field setting down her log somewhere and walked to another place so that there was distance between her and it. "So everything is set."

Substitution, right. What every ninja should know. Sometimes he wondered why such an effective jutsu was ranked so low. Was it because of the pathetic amount of chakra needed to perform it? Or maybe because people didn't use it to such extreme. He believed this would be easy to learn. Especially with a such a good teacher.

He listened to Sanae's words and nodded, following her to the shed. As she said how much she loved logs, he smiled at her, "Who doesn't? They're great for the substitution technique, or so I hear. I want to get to the level of substitution to where I can replace myself with a thrown kunai. If my throwing is greater than my speed, then I could easily travel that way. Maybe I should make a jutsu based off of the Substitution Technique just for that."

He stopped fantasizing about a bastardized version of The Flying Thunder God and went to grab a log. It wasn't that heavy, and even if it was, he wouldn't show that he was struggling in front of Sanae. That would be embarrassing. As she playfully flirted with him and gave him a quick wink, he barely stopped himself from blushing. He went with her and placed his slightly bigger log right next to hers.

"Okay, so how do we this, sempai?"

She chuckled a little: "I see you have high ambitions that is nice, but this technique we train is for beginners and it's use might be a little different than you think. You have to have something prepared that is to take your place and it has to be within ten meters of you", she said pointing in a circle. "What you do then is Tiger, Boar, Ox, Dog and Snake to", without anything happening at first. "if now there is an instant where you are attacked", she took up a rock throwing it up in the air to make it hit her head, which made the small jutsu go off and replaced her with the log she had used for it. "Remember it has to be between half and full of your weight, it can be a clone but cannot be another person. It is also an Illusion that will wear off, if you go too far away it will wear off as well", she stretched and looked at him. "Try it."

Illumi nodded, absorbing the information. Well, he was really thinking about his jutsu idea. Okay, ten meters, that wasn't bad. If he was strong and fast enough, he could throw the kunai faster than he could even run, so ten meters of that isn't bad. Especially if you would have multiple kunai to use. But he shook his head. That was right. It had to between half your weight and your full weight. Then may weighted kunai work? They could. But they might decline the throwing abilities than lighter kunai.

He knocked himself out of his nerd rant about jutsu and listened to Sanae's instruction and explanation. Okay, so it was that easy? Well, it looked like it. He wouldn't know until he tried it. Swiftly grabbing the kunai Sanae used to cut herself with - ignoring the stained blood on it - he threw it up in the air and watched as it descended towards the top of his head.

Even if he couldn't substitute, he hadn't thrown it hard enough where it could get enough height for gravity to bring it back on his head hard enough to pierce it, but to cut it. If he failed, then he would try again. Damage was his motivation.

He ran through the hand seals sempai had shown him and replaced himself with a log. He appeared in smoke, facing towards the kunai. It left a little cut on the top of the log. He had done it! He cheered himself on internally.

Turning toward Sanae, he smiled and nodded, not really having to ask for the next jutsu. They had been through the repetition enough that she should know.

Sanae watched the Kunai as it flew into the air and she was eying it very carefully, since she did not want it to hit her pupil and hurt him. But as it seemed her worries were not founded he made the jutsu work perfectly and it substituted him with the log so the log was hit with the kunai and he turned out fine. She clapped her hands a little to show she was happy he learned it so fast. After that she stretched a little now she would need to show him the surface walking. So this was next.

"So next is the surface walking no big deal for you would I think so", she said and looked around walking towards the fence around the training grounds. "You will need to concentrate your chakra into your feet. Be careful not to focus too much into the feet, because that can damage your surface but well if you balance it out a bit your feet stick a little like glue to it", she said while she then turned to walk up the fence herself.

As always it was a fun feeling when one could walk up a fence like a spider would and her hair seemed to be wearing her down. But that was okay. "I am confident, that you will make it all right", she held out her hands to him in case he would fall but she did not think so.
