Training little feza

[Continued from 'learning mist']

After the briefly awkward interaction where Shinoskay was overly polite and formal, but yet felt shamed by been called a freak, where he explained he was in the middle of meditating on genjutsu for training.... There eventually arose the idea for the two two train with, and on, each other as genjutsu often required a target and a human target could give feedback.... plus Shinoskay knew a lot of acceptable low level jutsu he could teach her.

He would try his training first as it should allow her a few targets to direct the new jutsu towards. Facing the newer genin, he formed the Boar, and then the rat, hand seals while concentrating on her. His chakra would mould through the seals and be focused with the intent to create apparations in her mind.... He would feel the chakra mould, form, and cast its way to her but other then maintining concentration on the intent of the apparations he wouldnt have any real way to know that the jutsu stuck until he saw a reaction. The sensation was strange for him, he wasnt actually creating anything tangible... he was pressing an idea in his targets mind and since he was more use to the tangible he himself would have some trouble with visualization.

Some, not a lot.. Due to the nature of Genjutsu, and because this was a largely agree'd upon interaction, the genjutsu is going to hit and work. What feza likely sees, even though it was agree'd upon I dont want to RP someone elses char, is Shinoskay take up a stance, form the two seals of Boar and then Rat, before slowly before her three more Shinoskay's will begin to slip there forms out from the earth as if rising ghosts... or as if using some form of surface hiding jutsu. Another will step out from behind the boy, and another two will step out from her left paripherary... bidding her to look left. If she does, she will find that she is now sorrounding with another shinoskay further to her left, two behind her just to the right (190 degress from the angle she would need to face to look at the initial shinoskay), and one to her right.

By the time she takes account of all eleven Shinoskay's she will find them all sort of moving around her in a putty men style fashion... spreading out and waiting. The initial will then begin to speak "Taijutsu is a relatively easy concept to understand.... on a basic level we all use it as we jab, kick, dodge, deflect, etc. Some techniques take this a small step further, to condition yourself to block with certain, more durable, parts of your body or to strike in a way that has been observed to be more faster then a standard strike... and to learn to push a little, not a lot, chakra into your actions to compliment your technique and form ever further."

One of the Shinoskays, one in front of feza, will take a very basic boxer stance before slowly kick shuffling its way towards her as if the two were in some sort of boxing ring.

Having never experienced a genjutsu ability like this before, at least to her knowledge, Suzume was certainly confused. Where the hell did all these Shinoskays come from? She knew of the shadow clone jutsu, like of what she did in the academy, but now there appeared to be a whole gang of the same person. How was that even possible? Just about every direction she looked, there was another...and another. It seemed to be that the only escape would be to fight. No running away this time. As for the one directly in front of her, it looked as though she was about to get beat if she didn't do something soon. Immediately getting into a simple fighter's stance, she'd move around the image as if they were actually sparring. Until, that is, she managed to muster up the courage to actually execute a strike to its face.

[WC:148]

Shinoskay knew part of taijutsu is just doing, her hesitation was a bit of a problem and so he faced a choice... his intentions here was to teach her to strike the right places and how to perform some basic defensive movements, he wanted to use chakra threaded rock section cames to simulate striking points for her but at this very moment he instead opted to not.

Instead, he opted to have it START to try to dodge in order to get her to chase it as she made to strike it. Her speed was greater, even if just slightly, then the apparition and so it would be easy for her to catch it if she chased or followed through with her attack.

Drawing another two rocks to him, he would make two more rock section cane staffs, if she followed through, while he formed the handseals to transform the rocks into the canes, "well done, not everyone will be so easy to hit but we will get through that. Eventually I will start making it harder for you to hit so you can try to gauge when to follow through and when to feint." Been inexperienced and self-taught, he couldn't understand that a person can easily get caught up in full out offense and forget about defense because thats just more fun and exciting.

Furthermore, the apparition would be destroyed... and slowly two would slowly 'grow' from the earth in its place.

If she didnt follow through, however, he would quickly direct a premade cane forward with one of his chakra threads to move it in alignment with the illusions counter uppercut so that Suzume would feel a 15 power/strength 'punch' to the gut, in the opening she left when she struck high, and instead of a congratulations he would say "dont hesitate, you need to defeat your own fear just as well as you need to defeat your opponent.... otherwise you leave openings."

The move she attempted to make turned out to be too slow and weak to do anything to a real opponent. Having to take the cane, Suzume fell straight on her bum and had to take a few minutes before getting back up. This knocked the wind out of her, so she had a bit of a coughing fit. As Shinoskay spoke about how she must defeat fear to also defeat an opponent, Suzume growled at the illusion and ended it with a dramatic double kick. A bit much for just a silly practice session, but Suzume didn't want to look too fragile to be a true ninja in front of her comrades.

The illusion dissipated, and then two more appeared. "Okay, what is this you're trying to do here, freaky dude?" She said flatly. Suzume didn't intend on being hostile and harsh towards Shinoskay, but this kid was just weird to her. What would he know better than her in self defense? And why would he put a rag over his face out in the open, where anyone could have ambushed him, similar to how Suzume surprised him when discovering the oddball?

"freaky dude?"


'Freaky dude?'

Shinoskay's face twisted in confusion over her calling him 'freaky dude', he wanted to ask... not able to hear her thoughts, however it wasnt really important enough to him and so he decided to just blow off the strange declaration and instead to continue the lesson.

"you are squaring off too intently, you are letting your nerves fight... In a fight against multiple opponents, or where you have no rear cover, you need to be controlled... circulor... rotating both visual scople and flow of motion so that you are always at an angle with the threat and always seeing more then your general field of view."

He hoped this explanation was sufficient for her question and as he spoke through this he had the two clones in front of him turn and face each other... now, instead of Feza, they would bow to each other and in speed 10 motion they would began an almost rotational open palmed jab and deflect dance where one would direct his palm in a slightly diagnoal angle forewards towards the others chest while the other would bring the same sides arm, left for the defender and right for the attacker, in an inwards rotating movement where it braught its hand down, inwards towards its torso and under the attack hand, before bringing it up to hook to attack before deflecting the attack outwards. As it did this, it would rotate the shoulder first in, towards the attacker to meet the strike, before then pulling its shoulder back and away as it deflected the attack... this would both deflect the attack and it would over extend the attackers reach so that the defender had what appeared to be an opening to counter attack... however... just as the defender counter attacks and now becomes the attacker, reversing the roles, the one who attacked first would then repeat the same motions that initially stopped him and the two 10 speed clones would fall into a loop of these motions upon each other in a perpetual dance for Suzume to witness.

sometimes the rotation would be an overhead catch, but it was always a circular defensive deflection and most of the time it came from beneath the attack.

"when youve seen it enough times, and you think you understand, let me know."

"Pfft, I knew that! What are you telling me for? What, is intensity something you can't handle? Of course I get it!" Suzume arrogantly nagged. This kid was something else to her, what  it was she didn't know, but for a genin to play the role of a sensei to another genin? How could this guy have any more experience than her when they were probably in the academy at the same time.

With that, she had given Shinoskay a pretty vivid declaration that she had seen his clones performing what he was showing her well enough, even though the pattern of movements only cycled hardly a few times. Though at this rate, her attitude might have been beginning to irk the boy, if not already. Maybe later down the line she would in the very least become respectful to him, though in her judgment there would have to be some reason in her own value for that to ever happen. After all, she did find him when he had is guard down. Suzume wondered why she didn't attack him out of play in the first place, that might've made her antics at least more humorous for the other side as well since he left himself vulnerable out in the open, from what she observed.

Shinoskay raised an eyebrow before shrugging "I am telling you because you tensed and locked up, then took a hit because of that. Do you want to practice the movement or do you want to test your luck against a real attack?"

The two apparitions, along with the 9 other ones, would all begin that iconic power ranger putty men side stepping dance to form several rings around Feza as they all incircled her while awaiting her answer.

Suzume sarcastically clapped her hands at Shinoskay's  formation. "Nice, real nice," she scoffed before snapping a jab at one of the apparitions' chest in front of her. As another from beside that one went in for an attack, she turned and deflected it. And then another offensive movement, into a defensive movement, something similar to the rotations of the initial images. She kept with the movement that he showed her just before, albeit a bit muddled in the pattern as a result of cutting Shinoskay off, but managed through the rings in an alright amount of time.

"See? I did good enough. I might not have done the best, but I did it!" she crossed her arms.
