Yuichi's Lessons (Solo/Training)

It was those words that stood stamped upon the chalkboard, written so graceful by Mitsuki Sensei a intelligent and all together good man and teacher. He stood before the class a smile on his face and his brown hair defying gravity to stand erect, as a usual sign he was about to speak he stood proud and flicked his chunnin flak jacket's collar and the words began as so: "Today boys and girls we will be learning about the Transformation Technique." A brief pause as he looked around the room throwing a piece of chalk at one boy who had dozed off before he even began to speak, continuing his lesson "Now with this technique the concept is simple, the transformation technique allows for a shinobi or kunoichi to disguise themselves as objects, animals, or many other things and deceive the enemy. Also for those who want to pretend they will never use this remember it is on the final exam so prepare to learn this 'useless' jutsu." a smile streaming across his face as he looked around. The know it all children scratched away in their notebooks writing word for word, the slackers were dozing off or attempting to mock the sensei due to their ignorant nature. However in the case of young Yuichi he simply listened and tried to understand the explanation and figure any way he could use this jutsu to his personal advantage, but the others continuously caused him to feel utter frustration for their ignorance to the point he stood from his chair a small wooden pencil in his hand grasped tightly. The other kids behind him belonging to the group of ignorant children being disruptive of course like all clusters a ring leader spoke up, insulting Yuichi by saying "Someone tell the walking skeleton to sit down we can't learn with him taking up class time!" the uproar of his friends snapping a nerve in Yuichi leading to the quick spin motion where he grabbed the obnoxious child by his shirt neck snatching forward causing his head to slam on to the table and inevitably knock him unconscious. The closest friend went to stand but was met with the pencil point pressed to his jugular vein, only to stop the boys actions of course all of which ended with Yuichi's calm and nurturing tone "Excuse me, can you and your friends please refrain from distracting the class we would like to learn this Technique if you can spare us a moment of your precious time." A hidden grin on Mitsuki's face at the account that happened with in the classroom, he then spoke up as the boys returned to their seats, "Now to return to the lesson allow me to demonstrate the Technique then one by one we will all come to the front and perform it to see how everyone is doing." With that he stepped from behind his desk to the opening in front of the class and began, Signing Dog, Boar and finishing with Ram. With the last sign a small puff of smoke surrounded his body leaving behind what appeared to be Sensei Sarutobi from classroom 3C, then again a second puff returning Mitsuki to his normal appearance. "Now you will all try to transform into me, that way I can best grade you on the quality of your transformation." With the instruction side of the lesson over Yuichi watched each student step up one by one signing and trying to transform a few doing well and a few making minor mistakes, with each one he watched everything from their signs to their focus even the way they acted before performing the technique all until he was summoned to the front of the class. Walking down the steps to the center of the room his brain analysed every movement and feeling needed to perform this jutsu, a small "Do your best." from Mitsuki as he done with every child to try and calm their nerves, Yuichi began signing Dog flawlessly he carried on to Boar. With two signs down and flawless execution he finished with Ram, the smoke covered him and the class seemed quieter than before as he stood before Sensei Mitsuki a perfect clone of the man. With amazement Mitsuki scribbled something on his pad and told Yuichi he had done a marvellous job, this to Yuichi meant to return to himself as he did and returning to his seat. The rest of the students followed until class had ended, as the students began leaving one by one the day drew to an end leaving Yuichi curious to learn more from the Academy and help to better his self as a Shinobi.

Another day at the Academy in the Hidden Leaf and again another set of words formed by the chalky dust smeared across the blackboard, Sensei Mitsuki standing in the center of the room as the students began taking their seats as usual. The bell chimed and they were seated to the sound of the classroom door shutting, clearing his throat Mitsuki then spoke, "Yesterday we learned about the Transformation Technique, along with this Technique it is essential a shinobi or kunoichi learn a Technique known as the Clone Technique." He paused to face the board and draw a child like rendition of a person in three separate panels, one alone, the other standing next to smoke and the third was two copies of the person side by side. Of course once finished he turned back to the class and prepared to begin again, however in this time frame of his lesson and attempt at art Yuichi's mind was already at play. To Yuichi he was just introduced a new way of deception to use against the enemy, a new way to leave behind a presence while he himself disappeared beyond the scope. Though his thoughts did not last long when Mitsuki began to speak more on his lesson, "Using the Clone Technique is simple but effective, You see a clone created by this jutsu can not attack nor defend itself however, the Clone can in fact create confusion through movement alone. Allow me to demonstrate to the class." Mitsuki then signed Ram and Snake ending the sequence with Tiger, a puff of smoke appearing to cover him and a distance big enough for another man on both his right and left. Once the smoke settled and disappeared it revealed three Mitsuki's standing together, which was followed by all of them talking in sync. "Though this seems useless at first, in a bind or in the right combination of jutsu. This Technique can fool even the best of shinobi." A grin as he noticed the children pointing to the center Mitsuki assuming he had remained there in the commotion, of course blowing their minds when he released the Jutsu revealing he had in fact been to their left. He then drew the signs in order upon the board after erasing his earlier drawing, turning to the students to address them as a whole one last time. "Alright one by one like yesterday, we will perform the Jutsu to the best of our abilities." Of course like before a few students executed it with only minor hitches and a few failed miserably. Yuichi was watching and began to mutter to himself at each attempt things like: 'No your sign is wrong...... Incorrect the chakra is not balanced..... Close but you arent focusing like Mitsuki Sensei...' each student going on till finally Mitsuki called for Yuichi to come forth. Walking down the stairs from his seat he pondered the correct way to execute the jutsu, til reaching the floor in front of Mitsuki. Yuichi was preparing to begin when Mitsuki raised his right hand signifying for the boy to hold a moment, "Wait, Yuichi I want you to try and create two clones. Okay?" a pause in the room as Yuichi looked at the Sensei with his squinted eyes, he nodded in understanding and began. First a flawless Ram sign followed by a even better Snake, His chakra began to scan and print his body like a casting machine. Then on to Tiger with out a single catch, a puff of smoke and appeared 2 more Yuichi both to his right. The copies looked at one another rather surprised, then turned to the sense with his normal grin. Sensei grinned back gave a thumbs up and spoke to the class as Yuichi released the jutsu and returned to his seat, "Well it has been a great day of class, I want you to know you all did excellent and I know we will improve together. Class dismissed!" Those final words sent the children sprinting from the building, followed of course by the young Senju Yuichi who wondered what may lay in store for tomorrow. Every step leading home he wondered what could be next, this Sensei lead with the Exam Jutsu so what else could he possibly have to teach? A question to be answered the next day he presumed as he neared his home and ended his School day.

Today at the Academy the class assembled in the training grounds of the Academy, Sensei Mitsuki stood before the students with his back to the fence line. With the usual mummers of the class among one another a few excited thinking it was some sort of playtime, but the talking was broken with the speech of Mitsuki "Today we are going to apply your skills as a shinobi in one on one sparring, as simple as it sounds you will be responsible for your actions and attempting to seriously injure one another will not be tolerated. Now remember the seal of confrontation and the seal of reconciliation, these signify a comrades will to spar and in the end a seal to acknowledge you are in fact still comrades." Mitsuki demonstrated the two different seals to the class and then began calling up students to participate in the sparring matches, the list in his hand a symbol of his night before. A little surprise for Yuichi and his 'friend' from their first Lesson in the Academy, student after student carried on sparring and continuing to beat each other in a form of combat. Finally leading to the call "Yuichi will now face off against Po." The call making the cocky young Po that Yuichi once knocked unconscious in class stomp out of the cluster of students and standing in the ring made by children, where he spoke confidently "This won't go the way your expecting, last time we were restricted and this time I am aware of your intentions!" With the speech from a hollow cranium finished, Yuichi stepped from the crowd of students his eyes in their ever so familiar squint but baring no grin this time. To Yuichi he knew what was happening or in fact what Mitsuki Sensei was trying to break, a bitter hatred for this moron of a student that Yuichi harboured deep inside. In accordance to the instructions they presented the seal of confrontation to one another and awaited the Sensei to begin the spar. With the word "Begin!" leaving the Sensei's lips Po began his charge after Yuichi, his movements slow in comparison to Yuichi but his strength behind every blow far surpassed his own strength. Using his manoeuvrability he dodged each blow placing small shots to the abdominal and weaving the wind creating thrusts from Po's fists, of course this attempt to do so was eventually thwarted by the massive kid who thought ahead and reacted different than before landing a blow to Yuichi's chest. The blow sending a feeling like a shock wave across his body and sheer force sending him bouncing across the training ground to the creek nearby, the water was running faster today due to the increased rain of recent times enough so in fact to continue to pull Yuichi's feet from under him. The other students began yelling for him to give up and call the spar a loss, but for Yuichi this was not over and instead was merely the beginning standing and fighting the current as he took a step only to once again be snatched back down by the rapid currents. He attempted to stand this time channelling chakra in his soles, technique he had seen shinobi perform before, which should allow him to stand on the surface of the water. The other children still unaware of his next plan chanting to give up the spar, However, Mitsuki watched with a slight grin as Yuichi placed his right foot on the waters surface. The class grew silent at the sight of his foot laying against the creek surface, only to uproar when he lifted himself from the creek bed standing flat footed on the surface. Po looked a bit different towards Yuichi, but remembering who he was and not liking the fact that he was no longer center of attention, he charged at Yuichi not taking consideration of the water. Assuming the feat that Yuichi had achieved was simple was Po's first mistake, the second was attempting to perform the Technique as he stepped on to the water with chakra poured into his feet. The effect of the unprepared child stepping on to the water was him collapsing into the water being swept under by the current, though in an unlucky twist Po had his head smack against the rocky bottom busting his cranium. Mitsuki began to jump for the water but to his surprise Yuichi grabbed Po's hand and pulled him from the water, quickly tossing him to the land and following shortly after. Mitsuki took Po to the infirmary  and dismissed class quickly, with the other children leaving in a hurry Yuichi began walking from the academy slowly thinking if he made the right choice saving the ignorant child known as Po. With another day done, Yuichi wondered how much longer he would have to tolerate the Academy life.
