Meeting the master

[riberiooooo]

                      

There had recently been a program implemented by the academy. assigning gifted and talented students to Jounin when they graduated, everyone got someone with a similar skill set, Guro the Flame got assigned to a jounin who uses youton, Noda the Swordschild was assigned to a blacksmith who knew every ken-jutsu style available and I get the Uchiha who's only tai-jutsu experience is in archery, which is ranged, however I've been told I'd like him, apparently his a lot like me, happy, positive and kind, so It sounds like a good fit and hey a bit of training is a bit of training. I continued to walk to the meeting point, a large and packed city square, I wondered why we had to meet here, we'd probably go to the border at some time in the near future, I'd then take a seat on the bench, fold my legs and begin to wait.

I looked around the area, people walking, some might be evil, some could be unknown heroes, it's a shame we'll never know but oh well.

“Cuff it’s hot out here I swear.”

Sy said to himself as he walked along a path that didn’t have many people on it, today was the day that he supposed to meet his apprentice. The thought of it made him wonder a little what exactly the kid would be about, because his profile stated clearly that he was almost nothing like him. ‘He’s not even big on Ninjutsu, seems like they should have put him with someone that was more versed in the arts of Taijutsu.’ The thoughts continue to float through his head on while he pushed down the path with his thinking face on, his eyes were slightly squinted while his arms crossed his chest. ‘This will be weird I think, he’s probably not even as good as Otto at Ninjutsu.’ He thought while he had come closer to the spot that he was supposed to meet his apprentice at. His eyes would open a little wider as he peered around the place. At first he couldn’t spot him out because he was looking for a kid with bright orange hair, ‘Oh yeah, he looks like an Arab woman.’ He laughed to himself as the thought crossed his mind. He’d place his hands into the pockets of his pants while he looked for the kid that was probably ill dressed for this type weather.

“Gotcha.”

He’d say as he spotted the boy with his had wrapped in scarfs, Sy’s facial expression would shift to of a friendlier person as he began to approach him.

“Uhhhh Barry? Yeah that’s you, what’s up bro?”

Sy would say he’d pull his left hand out of his pocket waving at the boy as he closed the distance between them. Once he was only a few meters away Sy would size him up a bit, ‘He’s short I could’ve sworn they said we were the same age.’ He thought to himself as he stuffed his hand backing into his pocket, he would begin to twirl around some coins that he had. Sy couldn’t hope but to feel a little weird that this boy had still been a genin at his age, though it wasn’t that shocking because this had seemed to be pretty normal around these parts. Rising up the ranks weren’t all that easy with the world of the shinobi being filled with a bunch of powerful people.

“So uhh, I know you’re probably wondering why you were assigned to work with me…… And quietly frankly I asked myself the exact same thing on my way over here. But sense village said it must be then I guess you’re stuck with me for a while, I can help you with just about anything. Though I warn you I’m not really versed in any sword styles, maybe you could teach me a thing or too. And I’ll show you how to work a bow and arrow, because that seems like something you’d be interested in.”

He’d say while he looked down upon Barry.

Time. The most valuable and precious thing a ninja can have, if someone was immortal, no one would ever beat him, he would learn from experience, never die and learn some of the most brutal and forbidden techniques available yet there are tales of men called "Jashins" who can live forever however due to their evil nature they are often easily captured by tacticians and Tai-jutsu practitioners, I really gotta stop reading those leaflets, they're getting to me, I mean come on, a ninja that can live forever? Impossible, only things that live forever are Bijuu and hell, they're not immortal just ressurected. As the heat began to kick in I decided to take off my cloak, revealing a black t-shirt and some baggy jeans, I'd then proceed to wrap my scarf around my waist, acting as a belt. My hair would be a massive beacon to anyone wishing to find me, so I decided to sit up properly instead of slacking, I may not be 6'7 or whatever but I'm still pretty tall for my age and I'm bound to grow another few inches, Dad's like 6'5 and Grandpa is like 6'1, so my peak has yet to come, oh well, patience is a virtue or something. 

Suddenly a gargantuan man proceeded to appear in the crowd, slowly getting closer, I was kind of wishing it was an assassin and not my new mentor, oh jesus, it's him. "Uhhh, Barry? Yeah that's you." "Good to see you sir, I am indeed Barry Ford, your new apprentice". I'd get up from the seat with a light smile on my face. "So uhh, know you're probably wondering why you were assigned to work with me... and quite frankly I asked my self the exact same thing. But sense village said it must be then I guess you're stuck with me for a while, I can help you with about anything. Thought I warn you I'm not really versed in sword styles, maybe you could teach me a thing or too and I'll show you how to work a bow and arrow, because that seems like something you'd be interested in."

"Sir, I am not wondering why I was assigned to you, any help from a superior ninja, who also is the same age, is great help whilst yes our skill sets are err...on opposite ends of the spectrum I believe good physical and mental training can improve any skills, so as long as we collaborate with each other and such it should be a fun and educational experience however you cannot teach me archery, I use a sword style that is the only weapon style I can know or else I will be whipped and tortured until I forget everything I have learnt of both styles and have to start over". I said this with a smile on my face, hoping that this experience goes well for the both of us. My hand would then send out for a handshake as I say "Sir, I hope we can work together and have a good experience from the following months or perhaps years if it goes that well" I'd then give a warm smirk as I speak these words.

‘Sir?’ Sy thought to himself as he listened to Barry talk, he had seemed to be a very respectable lad. But at the same time Sy felt as if he had no other choice but to giggle a little under his breath, the reason was because he wasn’t too big on the title of ‘sir’. His hands would cross his chest as he continued to listen to Barry’s story; it was kind of weird for him to hear. Kaze hadn’t ever heard of someone being whipped and tortured for becoming more versatile, it had actually struck somewhat of a nerve with the people who brought him up. But he wouldn’t dig too deep in it as it was their first meeting, he’d just nod his and go with what he was saying. As Barry extended his hand out a hand shake Kaze would extend his hand in a fist.

“First off Barry with us being the same age I’d like it if you didn’t address me as sir, shit’s really not that serious. Instead I wouldn’t mind if you called me by my nickname Kaze, you can throw a Sensei or a sama behind it but it really doesn’t matter to me. Oh and that hand shake shit, save that for when you meet old lady Blanche. We will fist bump every time we meet ya go me?”

Sy would say as he pulled his eyes away from Barry, he’d look away for a moment examining the area a bit more. He had noticed it had been an fairly open area not far from them, with his right hand he’d point towards that area that held only open space and a couple of trees. ‘Time to see what he can do.’ He’d think to himself as his attention turned back to Barry, he would attempt to make eye contact with the boy before making his suggesting.

“Now about this sword style that you know, I’m not to verse with swords the size of the one you have. So I’d like you to show me what it’s about, we don’t have spar yet… But I just wanna see what you can actually do with it, and in turn if you want I’ll show you a little ninjutsu that I know.”

He’d say as he pulled his attention away once more looking towards the open field.

“Shall we?”

He’d say as he proceeded to pull his attention away while walking towards the open field.

As I spoke my words to my new mentor he seemed to.. chuckle? What had I done wrong? Was he laughing at my weakness, we're the same age and he's so far ahead, even though I only started a few years late it seems as if our distance in strength is unmeasurable, I mean he must a strong, amazing ninja who could decapitate me with the wink of an eye. Why me, why did I get the one that hates gennin, the one that wants to go on a murderous rampage, slaughter the grass join a crime gang, destroy the world and rape everything that moves... please god no, oh no, LORD NO DON'T--- what the fuck man, I just thought he was going to nuke me then rape me just because he gave off a little chuckle? I need to stop overthinking, it's going to get me killed."First off barry with us being the same age I'd like it if  you didn't adress me as sir, shit's really not that serious. Instead I wouldn't mind if you called me by nickname Kaze, if you can throw a sensei or sama behind it but really doesn't matter to me. Oh and that hand shake shit, save that for when you meet old lady Blanche. We will fist bump every time we meet ya got me?". My hand would then clench into a fist ready for a fist bump "Sorry Kaze, I'll make sure to save the handshakes for formal arrangements, but hey, better to use a formal greeting on a lax person than an informal greeting on a strict person" 

I'd smirk as he allowed me to be natural, lax, eased, it felt good to let my hair down ya' know. "Now about this sword style that you know, I'm not to verse with swords the size of the one you have. So I'd like you to show me what it's about, we don't have to spar yet... But I just wanna see what you can actually do with it and in turn I'll show you a little bit of ninjutsu" "Deal, first things first, we need to get out of here and into a nice open area to allow for uhhh..."creative space". I'd then see him look at the empty field and I'd smirk knowing he'd also thought the same thing, so I'd then start walking in the heat, leading the way for my mentor.

Sy would nod his head as the boy spoke before they began to make their way towards the open field that couldn’t be more than 10 meters away from their current position. The jounnin’s hands would slide into the pockets on his pants while they walked, he had thought about what Barry had seemed him about his greeting. He couldn’t hope but to think he was right about that because he could’ve been too serious. ‘ahh I hate those types.’ He thought for moment as they continued to walk, it hadn’t taking them more than a couple of moments before they reached the field. The field had been lined with a plethora of open space while a few trees were scattered throughout the field, it was the perfect place for some training or some simple sparing to happen. It was just what Kaze wanted for his little secession with his new apprentice.

“So about that whole being whipped and tortured thing if you don’t mind me asking, who might be the one who would do this to you?”

Kaze would ask curiously as he thought about the boy’s words, they had still been floating around in his head after they were said to him. He didn’t quite understand it, or appreciate it in any way he actually felt obligated to speak to whoever these people were. His fingers would begin to wind around in his pockets as he waited for Barry’s response if he had one. ‘People these day’s trying to limit people to what they could actually accomplish if they put their minds to it.’ Sy thought while they continued to stroll towards the center of the field.

“Also, if you don’t mind me ask.”

He’d say before he laughed a little.

“What’s up with all those cloths, I understand style but it’s a bit much it isn’t very cold around these parts? They kind of make you look like an old woman hiding from the sun.”

Kaze would say jokingly as they strolled through the grassy field together, he couldn’t hope but to make a joke after his questions because he never really wanted to seem overly concerned about anything. It was only a hope that Barry wouldn’t take the joke as insult, but then again it didn’t really matter because it was something that he would have to get used to if he wanted to hang around him. But as the arrived upon what looked like the center of the field Sy would stop before looking around a little, his gaze would spot a couple trees around them about 10-15 meters away from their position. While everything else seemed like a bunch of open grassy space for them to work with.

We ninja fight as a legion, as a battalion, as a troop, as a team, as an army and yet we always seem to be like shut books, never revealing secrets or anything of the sort but we're told to trust one and other however how can we trust each other if we don't even know if everyone else speaks the same language as us. Bollocks, I really need to find new reading material, whenever my mind is blank I start thinking of that book my mom got me for my birthday, why does she hate me... I and my new mentor made our way across the crowd and onto the lush green field, the breeze blowing onto my face, it suddenly hit me how insignif---whoops, lost it, I was about to have massive realisation about our insignificance but then I remembered the cute cat and now I'm a happy person. 

As my new mentor about who would punish me for learning another style other than Ju Kenshi, I simply replied " A beast summoned by my sensei", he'd then inquire about my clothing and why I wore it, I simply replied "Due to the fact I'm so strong, if needed, I could use my excess clothing for a number of things, a suffocation device, a rope, anything really". I'd continue to draw a nodachi from it's sheathe as I watch Kaze."Ju kenshi is the art of using big weapons and chakra to create powerful and swift attacks, by focusing chakra into blades to allow for smoother and swifter cuts making for a dominant stlye" I'd then draw my blade with care and mobility, I'd move about 5 meters away from Kaze, I'd then stand by two large lumps of rock in the ground, I'd strike one with a normal slash, it'd cause a bit of a crack but not much, then I'd preform the Ju Kenshi technique of increasing the weight of your blade, I'd then do the same slash again into the rock, this time it'd shatter into a tonne of pieces, going everywhere, one piece going about 20m away.  "By using the Ju Kenshi technique of increasing a blades weight without the wielder feeling any difference I caused the damage of that plain slash to be amplified heavily"

Senchineru Taidenkougeki (Charged Attack Sentinel)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: The charging process is disrupted when physical contact by anything other than the user is made with their weapon (the user cannot Charge while in the middle of defending/attacking with the blade). While charging, the user cannot also utilize the Taijutsu Primary movement speed perk.

The cost of Ju Kenshi techniques is added onto the cost offered for this charge ability.

Charging a weapon with a Low increment of chakra doubles its weight; charging a weapon with a Mid increment of chakra triples its weight; and charging a weapon with a 2x High increment of chakra quadruples its weight. However, it should be noted that the user does not feel this change and wield the blade as if it were its relatively light (as effectively as one can wield a traditional sword, like a katana)

‘A beast?’ Kaze thought to himself while they walked, he couldn’t really comprehend what the fuck Barry was talking about but he wouldn’t dig too deep into it. He just kept his opinion about what the boy said to himself for now; he figured that he’d do something about this sensei of his. ‘Putting shackles on this boy’s development is probably the reason he’s still a Genin.’ He thought to himself for a moment causing Barry’s explanation of his clothing to fall to deaf ears. But his attention was pulled away from his thoughts as the Genin started to talk about his swordsmanship, Sy’s eyes would be locked on the boy while he pulled his weapon from its holster. While Barry stepped away from Kaze towards what seemed like a misplaced boulder, ‘Heavy blade that doesn’t look too heavy.’ He said to himself as he noted the boy’s Katana. But he wouldn’t question it at the moment he would allow him to continue his explanation. As he swung his blade at the rock with some pretty impressive force Sy would nod his head, but as Barry continued to talk explaining exactly what Ju Kenshin allowed him to do he had leveled swords out once more preforming what appeared as the same swing but this time causing the rock to shatter. Sy’s would pull his hands from his pockets before clapping a bit.

“Yeah that’s pretty cool, seems like it’d come in handy in terms of deceiving someone during combat I like it. THOUGH that sword isn’t really that heavy Barry, I think you need to get a bigger sword for it ti affective. I’ve seen something similar to this and the sword people use are usually two hand weapons ya know? Like a claymore, I’d be happy to buy a sturdy one to use if you’d like me too.”

Sy would suggest as his clapping came to halt, he was quite impressed by Barry’s style. It was something he could appreciate because he was fusing his own Taijutsu with Chakra to make it even better. ‘Gahh this kid might actually have some hope.’ He mused to himself while he stood there for a moment looking all around at the shatter rock.

“And my next question is umm, do you know any Ninjutsu?”

[riberiooooo]

                                            

As the last chunks of stone flew from the rocks, barely skimming my face, I'd smirk then turn over to Kaze after explaining how my sword was able to do so much damage with just one strike, “Yeah that’s pretty cool, seems like it’d come in handy in terms of deceiving someone during combat I like it. THOUGH that sword isn’t really that heavy Barry, I think you need to get a bigger sword for it ti affective. I’ve seen something similar to this and the sword people use are usually two hand weapons ya know? Like a claymore, I’d be happy to buy a sturdy one to use if you’d like me too.” is what Kaze said to me, I gave him a smirk "See, that's the beauty of it, I have a mastery over Ju Kenshi which allows me to hold a blade one handed and get the same results as if I was holding it two handed, and if you feel like buying me a bigger and heavier sword, you'll hear no whining from me" I'd chuckle at the last part of the sentence, explaining to him the purpose of holding it one handed.

Then Kaze would proceed to question me on the topic of "if I know any nin-jutsu", I'd simply replied "I know all academy jutsu and know one Katon jutsu, it's not that I am not good at chakra control, after all I use two tai-jutsu styles that utilize a precise amount of chakra to amplify their strength", I'd then proceed to sheathe my sword after answering his question with a smile on my face. 


[ooc note: sorry for short post, tired as fuck and school in a few mins so] 

[Bit]

As Barry chuckled Sy couldn’t hope but to think he didn’t really understand what he meant by that but, he would shrug it off. He knew that he had to actually scrap up the money to help the kid out because it was in his nature to see the one trying to follow in his footsteps be successful . So while he was talking Sy pulled his hand out of his pocket reaching into one of the pockets on his coat. He’d listen to Barry explain that he didn’t know much Ninjutsu, which was saddening but he’d just shrug his shoulders at the fact while he pulled out some money.

“Here take this, it should be enough to cover the price of your sword.”

He’d say while he held about 5k in ryo, it wasn’t much but he would at least be able to get a sturdy sword to support his style of swordplay. One Barry would take the money from Sy’s hand he would give a smile head nod before turning away from him.

“Well, I’m basically all Ninjutsu. I don’t know if I’ll be able to teach you anything other than the do’s and don’ts of being a Ninja. And I have to go, we’ve got a team meeting later today, I’ve sent the info to your home already don’t be late.”
