Just your average training day [Private/Ruin]

Dana was in a bit of a pickle.

You see, Dana had quite a few plans that she would love to see come to fruition. Unfortunately, all these plans relied on her continued existence. Unfortunately times two, her continued existence relied on her ability to survive a fight. Dana had the Jutsu to survive, and she had a lot of them. She hadn't ever used any of these Jutsu in an actual fight, however. Thus, Dana had made her way across the Village of Kirigakure for a chance to hone her combat skill. Her outfit wasn't particularly suited for a fight - consisting of a white T-Shirt that hung loosely from her thin frame and a dark pair of trousers - but then again, Dana didn't really have any practical clothes.

After entering the Training Grounds the white-haired Senju walked right to the center after pushing some training ninja out of the way, and stretched whilst looking around. She needed to find someone who was skilled enough to show her the ropes of fighting.

Aha! Dana jumped and did a 180-degree spin in the air to fully face the person who had just spoken to her. If she had been paying attention then her newly-learned Chakra Sensory skill would have picked him up approaching beforehand. However, 'Dana' and 'paying attention' weren't words that really fit together in any sentence. She smiled widely at the newcomer and extended a hand out for a handshake. She made extra effort to exaggerate the motion by putting her whole body into it; her handshakes had been ignored too many times in the recent past and she didn't have any interest in having it be a repeat occurrence.

"Little bit of both, to be honest." She shrugged afterwards, regardless of whether or not he accepted the handshake. She took a second to size the man up. Yeah, he looked strong, he was definitely the kind of person she was looking for when she'd made her way to the Training Facility. Funny how things always worked out like that. After giving the man a once-over, Dana would suddenly jab a finger at his face, narrowly avoiding poking it by a mere inch. "I challenge ye to a fight!"

Her mouth caught up to her and she looked around at all the ninja who training around them. She'd normally not pay them any heed but she'd been learning about how to respect people after meeting people like Saya and Niko so this time she was. "Maybe we should go find a private training room first, though..."

Her handshake hadn't been missed this time! Score! It was such a small thing to be happy about but it really did make Dana's day that much brighter. Travin was definitely getting added to the 'People in Kirigakure that Dana likes' list. "Excellent!" She grinned radiantly when he accepted her proposal to have a fight. She didn't know how stuff like that usually worked so she was happy that she hadn't accidentally caused some kind of offense by just going out and asking for a spar straight away. He was also nice enough to accommodate her request to move to a more private area to fight, which she had made because she didn't want to injure any of the other ninja on the Training Grounds. Her Jutsu by themselves were fairly precise, but Dana herself was pretty indiscriminate when it came to using her Jutsu so she didn't want to have anyone get caught in the crossfire.

"VR simulators? I can't say I've ever heard of them before. Sound handy though, let's do it!" She did a small hop of excitement and started marching off towards the building, only to stop when the man told her his name. She'd forgotten to introduce herself properly! She spun around on her heels and did an extravagant bow, "Dana Senju, at yer service."

Dana followed Travin through the section of the Training Facility that she had never been in before, amazement glittering in her green eyes. She'd previously thought the other sections of the Facility were futuristic, but this blew that misconception out of the water. They entered a room with several people laying on chairs who looked unconscious behind glass doors. If Dana had any kind of self-preservation then the scene would have been quite scary but Dana was just curious. How did these machines even work? Was it purely technological-based or was there more to it? It was simply fascinating and she couldn't wait to use these machines.

"Thank ye." She said gracefully when he proved to be a gentleman by opening the door for her. She stepped past him into the room and plonked herself down on one of the chairs. Once seated she listened intently to Travin's explanation for how these things worked, nodding at appropriate times to show that she understood what he was saying. She also had no idea how it functioned on a physical level, but Travin gave her an idea of what to expect when they were in the VR arena. Truth be told, she was very excited to get a chance to finally try and fight someone. She had no idea how strong he was in relation to her, but she hoped that they were around the same level so she could get a chance to learn something.

She put on the helmet after Travin did and materialized into the new virtual world alongside him. "This is cool." She commented, looking down at her hand. She didn't feel like she was in an illusionary world at all, it all felt so real. She took a break from looking at her hand and looked at the battlefield they would commence their spar on; an endless flat plain of cut grass. There were no trees, hills, plants other than grass. Nothing. The sky above them was a lovely rich blue without any clouds in sight, and the sun seemed to be locked directly above them in an unchanging position.

She turned back to Travin, "So, how do we do this?" After asking Dana backed away slowly to put a distance of about 10-meters between them both. "Ready whenever ye are."

Dana took note of the peculiar way that Travin had positioned himself, his entire left side had been obscured from her view. This meant one of two things: he was retrieving something from his side or he was making use of the same talent that Dana had trained - One-handed seals, that is. Either way, it wasn't something that Dana had any interest in seeing the end result of. The sword at his side implied that he was some kind of close-range specialist and, VR or not, Dana didn't fancy the idea of feeling what it felt like to be bisected. Keeping a careful eye on the man's sword, Dana's hands came together to form four handseals at her maximum speed instantly after Travin called out that he was ready: Ram, Tiger, Boar, and finally Snake.

Upon completion of the final seal, Dana's thin frame would immediately start sinking into the ground at a speed of 75. If not stopped and allowed to enter the ground, the young Senju would continue to sink until her head was 4-Meters from the surface. The moment she was fully obscured by the ground, Dana activated Trifle of the Senju and her right hand started to do some handseals: Ox, Tiger, Ram, and Snake. 5 Earthern Spears, all 2-Meters in diameter at the base, would rise in a circle as close as they could around Travin at a speed and power of 100. They were all evenly spaced which put the center origin point of each of these spears roughly 3 and a half meters from each other in the circle they created. They were all angled so that each of the spikes would grow and pierce through Travin's stomach at various angles if he didn't move in time.

Dana started doing the handseals for the Ninjutsu Amplifier the moment after she started the ones for Earth Spears with her left hand:  Tiger, Boar, Dog, Dragon, and hand held straight up. After finishing with these, Dana instantly continued on doing the seals for World of Trees with the same hand: Tiger, Dragon, Rabbit, Monkey, and Snake. At a speed of 145 and a power of 125, a large root made of Wood sprouted from Dana's previous position on the surface and shot towards wherever Travin's chest was as fast as it could. Dana had made the root with a diameter of 2-Meters.
