Between the people residing in the room as of current, it was the man with flowing white hair that suddenly appear on edge. Ichigo tried her best not to appear way too interested in what was going on with him but her resistance was fading. He was silent and brooding one moment that her eyes wandered over to him. For such a tall man, his hair was long. She wanted to try and comb her fingers through it to see if it would be coarse like a dog's fur or soft like a human's hair. Yet the norms of society required that she'd hold back from an action. Ichigo also was interested into those stripes of fish scales on his skin. "So cool...Is he a yokai too? Or is it some kind of skin condition?" Kuminari's tail went left and right as he kept on eye on the people inside of the room. His head craned back every so often to check back on Ichigo through the bodies nearby. His head was raised to where hers had fallen to see the fishman just in time to see him act out against some unknown threat. He bore his sharp, shark-like teeth around the room. Ichigo was surprised by the features yet again, though somewhat afraid of that threatening expression. She sunk a little closer inside of Kuminari's azure colored fur coat while trembling in fear only a slight amount. the wolf's ears flattened against his head while he'd rest his head on top of Ichi's in a protective gesture. Her emerald eyes went to look above her for a moment until they returned to the man in question.
His features softened back to a more approachable look when he lost whatever fury he had pent up. Ichigo visibly became more calm and composed at the change and welcomed it with open arms. She managed to lean forward off of Kuminari and stand up flat on her feet once more. The canine did not budge from his position while being attentive as possible to his master's needs. In an attempt to defuse the situation, he would utter out, "Well this is a popular room today, isn't it?" Ichi said nothing but did agree with his sentiment. In an effort to not seem like too much of a wallflower, she responded with an appropriate murmur of, "Mmhm." The other woman that was there beside him wouldn't take too much longer than her to respond. Her silver eyes fluttered to the mane's similar colored mane with the grace and elegance of a woman who was confident in herself. "Yes it is a popular room no doubt, so do i have your attention?" After, she went to Kuminari and let out a sharp whistle, the yokai lady dropped to her knees to stroke his mane. The wolf said nothing but looked at the tailed human in front of him with as much disdain and caution as a wolf could allow. Held back only by Ichigo's hand coming to rest on his fur body. "So what are your names, including this cute one?" She smiled at both of them with the man speaking first. It was either that or she would wait until he did. No matter what outcome was relevant, Ichigo looked away to Kuminari and then went back to the other two with her hands twiddling against one another.
"I-Ichigo." she said in a soft, worrisome voice. The kind that was the equivalent of a rabbit caught in the den of wolves. "He's Kuminari. We wanted to learn too. I mean, I did...Kuminari knows much more than I do." With a little bit of luck, the two would be able to point her in the right direction! Ichigo wanted to get a handle on combat in an actual environment made for it rather than pounch on a training dummy all day like back home. "It's nice to meet you."
The light praise from the instructor gave Kuma a slight boost in confidence. He wondered if the academy knew about his eyes. In truth, the dojutsu was the only reason his little display went over so well. The genjutsu itself was relatively simple and uninspiring, but the aid of his visual prowess made it more resistant to the chakra disrupting Kai technique. Still though, it felt nice to hear a compliment over his skills. Kuma's focus on the task at hand dulled his senses to the point that he didn't notice the others who had entered the room. It wasn't until the sounds of their voices hit his ears. It startled him, causing a quiet "eep" to escape his lips. His head sank into his shoulders as the boy slowly turned to see not one, but three others who had entered the room.
Kuma flashed a nervous smile to the instructor and moved to find a seat. The guy in the doorway remarked on the amount of individuals who were beginning to show up. 'A popular room indeed…' Kuma kept his eyes on the group, who had entered into a conversation, but spent more time looking at the canine that had accompanied one of the girls. This village surely had its share of…. Interesting people. It shouldn't come as a surprise that he finds himself in the presence of a few of them. Even if he was too timid to join the talks, he had to admit that it was a bit of a relief to not be the only one in the room. He triggered his sakkakugan long enough to get a look at their life forces, admiring the bright pink glows that layered over their forms.

"I suppose you do, after that strange display." Hitoshi responded to the yokai's question, cautiously approaching her and the young girl. Seriously, she could have just said hi. "I don't think he appreciates you invading his personal space though." Pointing to the clearly unhappy wolf, he decides that it might be best to not attempt to pet him, no matter how fluffy he is. Even a normal dog could be protective of its owner, but a tamer's partner? Yeah, he did not want to get on the wolf's bad side. Animals had a surprisingly long memory, after all.
Finished speaking with the yokai woman, Hitoshi turns his attention to the little girl. "Ichigo and Kuminari? Nice to meet you, I'm Hitoshi. I... well..." he scratches the back of his head, now suddenly embarrassed. "I recently graduated from the academy, so I guess you can say I came here to see if I can help out those like you who are about to before I start going on missions. Of course, if you had any interest we'd probably have to find something more your size." He motioned to the spear on his back, longer than she is tall, chuckling softly. Hitoshi really hoped he was putting both Ichigo and Kuminari at ease. Being this chatty was usually difficult for him, but between the tamer's stuttering and the wolf's body language, they both seemed nervous enough that he wanted to make the effort. Maybe he just had a soft spot for kids?

Branded like an animal, I can still feel them burning in my mind.
"Nice names you all have and here to train eh?" She would take her hands away from Kuminari and focus on the task at hand. She thought about the way she would train them or the best she knows how to do so, Genjutsu. Yeah a hi would more certainly been sufficent but of course she wanted to know if the man could pick on the Genjutsu, which nonetheless, it appears he has. Even right now, she wonders about Ichigo and Hitoshi, if she could improve their mental recognition of a Genjutsu and could they break through it as well. Activating the Sakkugan right now doesn't exactly give room for training. This is due to the fact any Genjutsu done within the Sakkugan's sight and power seep into it, it would make Genjutsu more powerful and hard to break through.
Unless she knows they can handle what level and depth of Genjutsu she throws at them, she won't go past a certain boundary about it. "Well if you two are wanting to train of course, there is something i am very good at and if you want to do mental training, I be happy to help with that." Mental training is like her expertise because of her specialty in Genjutsu, now her fighting styles are genjutsu based, so everything she does connects to Genjutsu. if Hitoshi has graduated recently, he's more likely stronger and could handle higher depth genjutsu for his mental training.
My eyes are closing softly, inside these walls i fade away, still holding on cause this is far from over. I won't say goodnight, my heart's grown colder, waiting for the sun to rise again.

The man with the silver mane approached the three of them while Ichigo continued to stand between the two older folks and sort of take up spaces like a timid and anxious soul was wanton to do. She still wanted to mess with his hair just to feel the texture but that was down the line when they weren't literal stranger who had just met not even five minutes ago. Kuminari exhaled in response to him drawing near. His tongue swirled around the perimeter of his chops before sinking back inside of his mouth just as he spoke again. "I don't think he appreciates you invading his personal space though." Ichigo was able to tell that he did have a fairly good read on her partner's current mood. Although she wasn't able to tell exactly what was on his mind. For a wolf that had been in her family for so long, he was relatively hard to learn from at times. The woman continued to pet him but Ichi did have faith that Kuminari could control himself for just a bit longer. She even gave the man a very nice look to show that she was grateful that he could understand her canine's plight.
"Nice names you all have and here to train eh?" The woman did put an end to her petting shenanigans and gave the wolf a break. Kuminari's ears perked back up now that he had finished being touched. His mood improved considerably since the removal of her hands and Ichigo was able to feel better about almost having to ask her to stop. The man introduced himself shortly afterwards. "Ichigo and Kuminari? Nice to meet you, I'm Hitoshi. I... well...I recently graduated from the academy, so I guess you can say I came here to see if I can help out those like you who are about to before I start going on missions."
How fortuitous! Not even an hour spent in the academy and already she had somebody who was seeking students! The hopefuly student did take a gander at the weapon he was using and did have to admit to feeling just a bit of weapon worry. That spear was about as big as she was! Ichigo had no hope in getting that exact spear and being useful with it due in part from the age and height disparity between them both. "Of course, if you had any interest we'd probably have to find something more your size." Not one to be outdone, the nameless woman spoke up to Hitoshi and her and would even make her own suggestion. "Well if you two are wanting to train of course, there is something I am very good at and if you want to do mental training, I would be happy to help with that." Both options were still of interest to Ichigo. She knew very little of the basic techniques after having learned how to swing a sword without hitting an ally. So realistically either option was just as enticing as the next. The weapons training seemed a bit more important to Ichigo for more than obvious reasons.
"Um, I think that maybe..." she looked between the two, "I like both but I do want to learn weapons first. I don't know much about them but I will try my best."
"She still hasn't told us her name." Hitoshi wasn't sure yet if he wanted to call the yokai out on that, as it seemed pretty rude. He tried not to worry about it too much though. At least she wasn't bothering Kuminari anymore. He didn't know if her attentions could have eventually caused a scene, but if it did then that could have gotten quite annoying and he'd feel bad for everyone involved since he doubted the yokai had ill intentions. Finished petting Kuminari, she offered the girl her own services to assist in her training. Honestly, he really never imagined that today he would be in a position where he's competing with another in an attempt to help an academy student with her training.
Hitoshi feels a small sense of satisfaction when Ichigo tells them of how she would prefer to focus on weapons. "Well then..." he sits cross-legged on the floor, now at eye level with her and Kuminari. "You're in luck. A spear's not all I'm good at. I can probably teach you at least the basics of just about any weapon you desire." Of course, the best way to teach her would be to demonstrate. Hm, perhaps he could kill two birds with one stone and turn this into a training match? The yokai woman seemed to be a Genin, just like him, and honestly... yeah, that sounded like a good idea that couldn't at all backfire on him. Hitoshi's face splits into a grin as he continues to speak. "Whichever weapon you choose, I can show you all about how to use it. In fact, I bet I wouldn't even need my main weapon of choice to take on all three of you. The one who trained me always did like to say that combat is the best teacher after all."
Branded like an animal, I can still feel them burning in my mind.
"Well then, i am quite intrigued that you would challenge three people to fight you." She would look back in the corner of her eye, to spot another known as Kuma but nonetheless, she should introduce herself. "My name is Tazu Koi, and i am glad to be...." As she close her eyes and open them, from slivery like eyes turned to pure red, the Sakkugan has been activated and finishes her sentence "Your opponent." She can see his life force with her eye brows taken on a serious expression willing to test her Genjutsu once more but this time, really rack hard on him. She would look to Ichigo with her red eyes, the Sakkugan and smile saying "Don't worry, you will learn well from this, i promise."
Though with that considering, she has to go easy on this one, her Genjutsu can be too much for some so she is going to stick to Chunin level and below jutsu on him. With her first move, she fires another Academy level Genjutsu known as Scent Of The Peculiar performing hand signs attempting to catch Hitoshi in it. Within the Genjutsu, the scent smells like sweaty undergarments, so bad like somebody did gymnastics for five hours, went home, and didn't take a shower. It seemingly stenches in the air like somebody recently entered the classroom. Though within that genjutsu, another Genjutsu triggers as well, with additional hand sign, Continuous Fog Technique is also triggered with many clones of Tazu created and runs towards Hitoshi attempting to hit him. If this genjutsu hits Hitoshi, any destruction of each clone will only produce a smoke like fog. Further destruction of the clones only make the fog denser, stronger, and harder to get rid of. Even some of the Tazu clones attempt to trip him or disarm his weapon from him to protect themselves.

It's been a while since the Chunnin had been to the academy. It would have been much longer if it wasn't for the papers she needed to deliver. Nothing too important just some papers that had the list of new incoming students expected to attend the academy in the following year. It was such a beautiful day. The sun was shinning and there was a gentle breeze. The perfect type of weather to take a nice nap under some shady trees while watching the clouds roll on by."Yeah that sounds nice." She said to herself while looking up at the clouds.
Upon reaching her destination Shikarie didn't really take much time to look around and see all the new faces that were there. She wanted to be in and out. Didn't want to be there for any longer than she needed to. After all she had some sleep to catch up on. Entering into the building Shikarie walked through the halls. Nothing much had really changed since the time she had gone here. Seeing everything as she had left it started to bring back some memories. Her and her team were so close when they were younger. Ino-Shika-Cho all together. Learning together, well for the most part. If she had recalled Shikarie didn't pay too much attention in class she usually just looked outside the window during lessons. Chosuke would try his best but studying wasn't really his forte. And then there was Inohaci who clearly had no problem with learning things, she did go on to be a medical shinobi. Those were simpler times now they have all gone their separate ways. Shikarie join the ANBU, Chosuke left the shinobi life behind, and Inohachi well she wasn't quite sure. 'Whatever' She thought to herself as she shook the thoughts out. There was no use trying to relive the past, all it was going to do make her feel bad, and who wants that. Her neck was already bothering her she didn't need her mind to trouble her too.
Reaching the head teacher's office Shikarie knocked on the door before entering."Hey, i have next years incoming students for you." Said said as she entered into the room. The head teacher didn't seem to be in. Stopping for just a moment she scanned the room to make sure they just weren't in the middle of something and didn't hear her. But no one was there. Sighing out of relief Shikarie would walk over to the desk and place the papers in the center that way she could make sure that they wouldn't be missed. Not wanting to snoop around Shikarie left the office and started to walk down the halls again until she heard some talking in one of the rooms. Normally Shikarie would just continue with herself and mind her own business. But hearing a familiar voice that she couldn't quite recall who they were had peaked her interest. Sliding the door open slightly she would just peek into the room. It appears there were 4 students in the room discussing training. looking over the faces of the students she noticed the young girl she had saved at the Hokage's office back during the jashinist attack. Opening the door just a little wider Shikarie would sneak into the room and just lean up against the wall by the door. She wanted to see what is was the girl was good at, and if she was an academy student way the hell was she even at the office to begin with.
Hitoshi sat down in front of them both, bringing him to around their eye level as Ichigo looked hopeful at her tutor while he'd go on to speak with her regarding their training. "Well then...You're in luck. A spear's not all I'm good at. I can probably teach you at least the basics of just about any weapon you desire." Ichi felt some small amount of relief. If his weapon he was currently wielding in his hand was anything to go off of, then she was far to small to throw that thing around and hit anything with it. She thought about any possible weapons that took her fancy. "I know i want a sword style to go with my raiu, but what other weapons would i even be able to use? I can barely hold one sword straight...I dont know how I'dhold two of them or more." The academy student would think more of it for later but took the time to swing around to the other and offer an apologetic look. "Um, m-maybe soon? I think physical stuff is kind of easierfor me..." The fox lady didn't seem to have any more hangups about her decision. Maybe things here would be easy to learn. No need to really embarrassed herself in front of people who had been doing it for ages now.
"Whichever weapon you choose, I can show you all about how to use it. In fact, I bet I wouldn't even need my main weapon of choice to take on all three of you. The one who trained me always did like to say that combat is the best teacher after all."
Ichigo felt her heat hit the bottom of her stomach at Hitoshi's declaration. Now she'd have to be a punching bag here too! "I-I don't...But I'm not..." she began, "But what if..." Ichi looked to Kuminari to guidance as the wolf let out a bark of encouragement. She looked terrified and nervous to be in her first actual fight, though would have to try her hardest to shake off this feeling of worry. "O-Okaaaay..."
The yokai woman looked happy at the aspect of finally getting to clash with Hitoshi for some unknown reasons. Were they rivals of some kind? Or just two people destined to always fight with one another? The woman introduced herself as Tazu and launched an attack on Hotoshi. Not wanting to bring shame on her teacher, Ichigo hurried over to the nearby weapon rack and pulled out a wooden blade. It was a bit flimsy and kind of lopsided but it would do. She moved forward to follow up Tazu's strike, unleashing the culmination of all she's learned and experienced through the years. The heartache, the heart break, the months of emotion all bundled together in a single, unified strike.
In reality, Ichigo swung her sword wildly, her untrained hands slinging the handle in a sloppy attack. (Basic Strike | E Rank).
So Tazu Koi was her name? Hitoshi made sure to file that information away to the back of his brain. Ichigo, however, held all of his attention. It was only right, after all, since he'd gone ahead and taken on the role of teaching her for the moment. She seemed down. Unsure of herself? He supposed he understood the sentiment, having been much the same when the woman he would call "mother" found him in the ruins of his village that day, taking him on as her apprentice. Much like him, however, Ichigo would need to learn to get over that, and if she was anything like him then the key would be to find something she excelled in and hold fast to that. Hitoshi would help her with that, even if he only ended up being a small part of her life today that would ultimately fade into a distant memory, he desired to help her along her path. So, with a small smile and a squeeze of her shoulder to set her mind at ease, he says "hey, don't worry so much about it. This is meant to be a training exercise, so I'll be going easy on you or else you won't exactly learn anything. If you need to bow out at any point then let me know, and you can watch how one fights against someone who uses Genjutsu using a weapon." The fact that he never actually had fought anyone proficient in Genjutsu went unsaid, and it would remain so. She didn't need to know that.
He stood to his full height, and out of the corner of his eye Hitoshi could already see Tazu forming hand seals to begin the match as he stepped towards a nearby rack that held several wooden training weapons of various types. The man mumbled a curse, knowing immediately that the invasive stench assaulting his nose was a result of a Genjutsu, as nothing about the room had changed that would cause such a stench. Still, he couldn't see a reason to bother with dispelling it. The stench was... unpleasant, yes, but it was manageable in the sense that it was comparable to if he was in the presence of someone with really bad body odor. It didn't compare to the smell of a desiccated, decomposing corpse, and he had the displeasure of being in a position where he could easily compare the two. Hitoshi chose to let that Genjutsu be, his face twisted into a grimace as he observed Ichigo's weapon choice.
A sword? So then he would use a sword as well. Hitoshi grabbed a sturdy-looking one with his left hand. The moment his fingers closed around the wooden hilt, his body spun around swiftly to face Tazu. The metal spear that had been on his back only moments ago was now gone, supposedly having vanished. Except, it didn't vanish, because it was flying through the air, Tazu's illusory clones, and straight toward her. His right arm, outstretched, was the proof of his deed, Hitoshi hoped the yokai woman would forgive him for using the bladed weapon, but he really just needed a method of keeping her temporarily occupied while he dealt with Ichigo and a spear flying towards the face was likely a good one. Basic Spear Throw | C > B Rank Overwhelming
Speaking of Ichigo, he really should be paying attention to her! The clever girl had used Tazu's distraction for the opening it was, her own wooden training blade swinging towards him from the other side. Hitoshi was ready for her, however. The spin he'd started when he threw his spear at Tazu did not stop, continuing until he was able to bring up his own blade and deflect it, forcing Ichigo to stumble past him. All the while throughout the action, he spoke, "good thinking Ichigo! You take notes as well with your adorable little paws, Kuminari! Taking advantage of the openings an ally provides is vital. More importantly, I like your guts!" Basic Deflection | E Rank
Laughing, Hitoshi floods his chakra network with a burst of chakra as he spots one of Tazu's illusory clones coming towards him, through the fog created when he first threw his spear. The action cancels the Genjutsu, dispelling the thick fog for the most part. Hitoshi, ignoring the fading illusion as it jumps through him, focuses his attention back on Ichigo, intent to not be put under another one of Tazu's illusions by refusing to look at her as he knew by now that doing so could run the risk of that very thing happening. Release [ Kai ] | C Rank x 2
Branded like an animal, I can still feel them burning in my mind.
She had no choice but to Body Flicker, its quite clear this man is skilled at his art, specially for him to toss such a spear with incredible force and speed. Well turns out the Genjutsu was successful, because of his face squeezing up earlier but it did allow her to find out normal Genjutsu isn't going to cut it with him. Unfortunately, he broke through the Genjutsu earlier and to her surprise, he stayed focus on Ichigo, the young girl. He gave her encouraging words which made her smile greatly but she has to kick it up and show him the true power of the Sakkakugan. Ignoring her and turning his back to her isn't exactly a great idea to do. She decides since he decided to turn his back on her, and him losing sight of her, she activates another Genjutsu known as Mist Technique. It activates and attempting to hit him due to the fact he turned his eyes off of her. Within the Genjutsu, Hitoshi would see Tazu jumping in front of Ichigo and charging at him with a kunai drawn in attempting to protect Ichigo. Further into the genjutsu, Tazu leaps towards Hitoshi attempting to hit him with her kunai but she disperses into mist, white and thick like the Hidden Mist Jutsu. Though she can't quite let him break the Mist Technique so soon if he was to try, so she enforced more chakra into it using the technique known as Strengthen Genjutsu.
Unfortunately, Mist technique is stacked together with the genjutsu known as Sleep is activated and with her Sakkakugan, she changed its trigger to her voice with the technique Ephemeral Worlds. She sings a lovely tune to Hitoshi, like a ancient Yokai song she has known for a long time. It would attempt to reach into his ears and within the Genjutsu, it attempts to put him into deep slumber. Though she added another nasty effect of her bloodline to the genjutsu, she disabled the ability to kai it using the technique known as World Of Suffering, making only where pain will release it. Pain that has to equal amount to the power of sleep, of course this seems a little harsh but he displayed quite a bit of ability. So she decided to make it harsher on him and see if he willing to go through the pain to break it.
My eyes are closing softly, inside these walls i fade away, still holding on cause this is far from over. I won't say goodnight, my heart's grown colder, waiting for the sun to rise again.

▰ Human Form All Kemono Shinzō begin with this form as it is fundamental to the clan itself. This is the form that those belonging to the Kemono Shinzō use to blend in with human society. There's not much special about this form in comparison to a normal human aside from the form commonly has animal-like features or is generally more animal-looking over all. While in this form the user is capable of using all techniques in the same way a normal human would use them. Sakkakugan: Active
1) ▰ Body Flicker Technique [ Shunshin no Jutsu ] | Rank D The user moves, using chakra to accelerate their movements rapidly. The user vanishes in the blink of an eye, often leaving behind leaves, sand or some other debris behind them that is kicked up from their action. This allows the user to travel instantly up to fifty feet within combat but cannot be used in conjunction with an attack during this action. In combat, this technique is able to be maximally used three times. Alternatively, this can be used to freely escape combat into another topic to another within the subforum. Outside of combat, the user may move the same distance as if escaping combat with this technique.

The target hallucinates the user charging towards the enemy, then leaping towards them with a weapon drawn. Just before making physical contact, the hallucination disperses into a plume of smoke, mist, flower petals or some other distracting particles. Effect Applied
▰ Strengthen Genjutsu [ Genni Genjutsu ] [80 Chakra added to Mist Technique] By having the Sakkakugan active during a genjutsu, the user powers up the technique to the point where it can no longer be discerned as real or fake by non-Sakkakugan doujutsu. In addition to this, if the afflicted manages to find out they are in a genjutsu, it will require an additional [ x ] amount of chakra for them to activate Kai. It also takes as much to use this technique. (Clarification this technique would put two requirements on breaking out of a genjutsu. First the opponent would need a ranked kai capable of breaking the initial Genjutsu, and then expel an extra amount of chakra equal to the amount of chakra put into this technique.)
2) ▰ Sleep [ Nemuri ] [70 Chakra] ▰Rank: B ▰Primary Sense: Touch ▰Additional Senses: None ▰Base Duration: 4 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Physical Contact ▰Source: Original ▰Status Effect: None ▰Description: By placing one or more hands upon the target the technique forces them into a deep slumber for a number of posts. Can be used without a firm grip to cause fatigue with a light touch instead of full sleep. Effects Applied
▰ Ephemeral Worlds [ Ichiji-tekina Sekai ] [Changed trigger to Voice] [Added 20 to B Rank Cost] While having the Sakkakugan active during a genjutsu, the user will supply an amount of chakra equal to half the genjutsu's base cost in order to further modify the technique. The modified genjutsu allows the Sakkakugan user to alter the trigger source from a genjutsu to any of the other five existing sources. This new source effect may take the place as something as small as making a fist for touch, or hearing the screeching of wind. {Alters the current Genjutsu source/means of infliction to ant the user desires}
▰ World of Suffering [ Kugai ] [20 added to B Rank Cost] While having the Sakkakugan active during a genjutsu, the user will supply an amount of chakra equal to half the genjutsu's base cost in order to further modify the technique. The enhanced genjutsu can no longer be broken by all forms of the releasing technique [ Kai] (including the demon version). However, no matter what the genjutsu's description says, it can now be broken by amounts of pain or shock scaling with the rank of the technique. Has a cooldown of every [3] posts this cooldown is independent for each target. May only affect [1] target with [1] unbreakable gen at a time between cooldowns. I.e if the target is still under the influence of the first unbreakable genjutsu after [3] posts they can put them under another unbreakable genjutsu. Additional Example- In combat with two or more individuals, Kugai may be used to induce [1] unbreakable Gen on each target. Said targets then can't be subject to another unbreakable Gen until [3] posts have passed and may become [2] assuming they did not break the first. ( If the genjutsu costs [40] chakra to perform, modifying it will cost [20] chakra. )
It was good for a first attempt! Ichigo's attack was deflected and tossed away like rubbish. Hitoshi had spiraled around to deflect against the yokai woman's attack and continued his revolution in order to then throw her off balance from the attack. Their weapons met as Ichi stumbled by him and fell flat on her face. She could hear the disappointment in Kuminari's blank stare at her struggle. "good thinking Ichigo! You take notes as well with your adorable little paws, Kuminari! Taking advantage of the openings an ally provides is vital. More importantly, I like your guts!" The wolf let out a loud bark in agreement. His fluffy tail swayed left and right just as Ichigo was sitting back up. Ichi looked down at the weapon in her hand while thinking back on the lessons from Zaishin. How to hold a weapon proper and steady their footwork. It seemed almost like yesterday...
Ichigo took a deep breath and exhaled, slowly down her pattern of breathing. Every beat was deliberate and controlled as she held the training blade in her hands. She'd come to face Hitoshi again and took her chance, attacking the man with increased spped this time! (Basic Strike | E Rank +2 Speed)
▰ Total Concentration: Thunder Breathing [ Sō Nōdo: Rai Nodo ] | Rank E | Training Learned
Hitoshi decided that Genjutsu sucked and he hated it. Either that, or Tazu was just especially good at it, and since it seemed to be what she was relying on during this sparring match he had reason to believe it was the latter. Even if that was the case, that didn't make his current situation any less frustrating. Such thoughts of frustration were what ran through the man's head as he raised his weapon to defend against Tazu, who had jumped in front of Ichigo in order to attack him herself. Briefly, the thought that it was an inefficient use of her time to attack him from that position rather than the back or side crossed his mind, but before he could give it any further consideration her form had vanished, or rather dispersed, into a thick fog. Well, that confirmed his suspicions at least. It had to be a Genjutsu, as the fog that blocked his vision otherwise had no other effect, feeling like nothing against his skin.
With only time enough to curse his own misfortune, Hitoshi found himself under the effects of yet another Genjutsu the very next moment. He could tell, because there was no reason for anyone, especially a Hoshigaki like him, to suddenly be feeling so exhausted in the middle of a fight, even if it was a simple training match. Knowing he was under a Genjutsu, however, didn't actually do much to help him. He was still on the verge of falling asleep, and his attempts to flood his chakra network to break it were proving ineffective. Distantly, as sleep began to claim him, he was able to recognize that Tazu was singing. He was also able to notice that, through the smoke created by her illusory clone, Ichigo was there, her own wooden sword swinging at him with greater speed than before. It was impressive, but even as tired as he was Hitoshi knew he could easily dodge the attack if he wanted to. He didn't want to though. Instead, he had a better idea. He leaned further into the attack, not only allowing it to hit him, but to strike him with greater power by literally throwing his face into the attack. It struck him right in the cheek, leaving what would later become an ugly purple bruise and, just as Hitoshi had hoped, it instantly woke him up, breaking him free of both Genjutsu he had been under, such was the benefit of breaking a Genjutsu with pain instead of chakra. Later he would be embarrassed to admit it, but it was at that moment that his Hoshigaki blood got the better of him. He was furious, the target of his ire the kitsune who had been assailing him with illusions this entire battle. Trauma inflicted to Hitoshi
Immediately, Hitoshi went on the counterattack. He was still tired, some of the effects of the previous Genjutsu still lingering, but the chakra that flowed through him and the thin veil of water as it formed over his skin invigorated him, boosting his speed and strength greatly to its limits. Before the Second Sharkskin had even fully formed across his body, Hitoshi was off. His body, covered completely in water, shot straight at Tazu with the speed and force of a cannonball, leaving a trail of water in his wake. So great was his speed, his body would vanish completely from Tazu and Ichigo's sight, leaving behind only a blur of elemental fury. The cannonball of water would plow right through where Tazu was standing, Hitoshi's wooden sword slashing right through where she was standing, his body appearing on the other side. He knew it wouldn't be enough though. The assault couldn't end, less she might have a chance to put him under another Genjutsu. For that reason, on Tazu's other side, as the wall of water left in the wake of Hitoshi's attack fell down, an elemental clone would appear behind the wall of water, hidden from Tazu's sight for but a few short moments. Though she was unaware of it due to water hiding the clone, she was now pincered in between the two of them. ▰ Second Sharkskin [ Ni hikime no same ] | Rank C | Strength [3] - [8] | Speed [3] - [8] Korabo'd with ▰ Blazing Crimson Mirror [ Moeru Shinku no Kagami ] | Rank A-S+ | Complex ▰ Flames of Deception [ Kyogi no Hi ] | Rank C | Training
Before the wall of water could fall completely, Tazu would find herself surprised to be forced to contend with the clone behind it, its sword cutting through the wall of water with the intent to cut through her, though rather than cutting through her the blunt wooden sword would only leave an ugly bruise at worse if it struck her. Unfortunately, the clone would not carry the same stat buffs Hitoshi had thanks to his Second Sharkskin, but she would still be forced to defend against it if she didn't want to get hurt. Hitoshi, taking advantage of the fact that doing so would prevent her from being able to turn around and defend against his attack, would attack once again. Channeling chakra into his sword, he burst forward, unleashing a furious volley of five sword slashes, lightning flying through the air and following the path of his blade. The speed of this technique was so great that if the first blow landed unguarded, the other four would be guaranteed to hit their mark as well. Even then, if Tazu was able to dodge, he would follow her with the following attacks, that would follow her if she by some miracle dodged both his and his clone's attacks. After launching those five attacks he pivoted, jumping to the side before launching what would be his final technique for the moment, so as not to strike Ichigo or his clone, should it still remain standing, with the projectile he was about to launch. Hitoshi's wooden blade, with electricity still dancing across it, swung out, launching a powerful wave of electricity at Tazu. ▰ Basic Sword Slash | Rank C-B Overwhelming | Simple ▰ Dance of the Fire God [ Hinokami Kagura ] | Rank A-S+ | Complex ▰ Flame Waltz [ Enbu ] | Rank A-S+ | Complex

Branded like an animal, I can still feel them burning in my mind.
It was this at this moment, with her earlier Genjutsu and its enhancements, Hitoshi used Ichigo's attack to break him out of it. Thus leaving a potential bruise on him, it made her felt bad but he is rather fierce and can't just sit back and allow him to show her up. However after he broke out, he went into rage and centered on her doing a insane number of attacks. She uses Body Flicker to avoid most of them but the second she got out of it, the wave of lightning chakra hits her, she even yelped in a way as she would stumble back a bit. Though she was far from done, she's rather happy that Hitoshi is showing a lot of promise of being a great shinobi of the Leaf. She would smile greatly as she decided to pull out her black hilted katana, as she would bring herself to center focus.
She closes her eyes focusing and breathing as she focuses chakra at her feet and when she opens her eyes, it truly begins. Haunting Attack: Triple Slash begins with Demonic fog seeps out from her feet and as it got denser, so did her chakra become more hidden from Hitoshi, however she felt bad that Ichigo may get affected by this fog too. She would see the fog covers a great amount of distance with it wrapped all the way around Hitoshi, if he mistakenly thinks, its a Genjutsu, its not. Even though while in the fog, genjutsu like properties are involved in the fog itself, even phantasms of Tazu appear in Hitoshi's and Ichigo's sight. Tazu has worked on this style for a long time and has mastered it to the point where even images of her are made known to the person affected by the technique. She would even within the fog, move behind Ichigo, and whisper to her "Don't worry even though this is my technique, no attacks will come to you." Within a instant, she isn't by Ichigo's side, focused on showing how she handles a blade against Hitoshi as she would be away from Ichigo's position.
She would decide to use the technique Haunting Attack: Demonic Ambush, and within the fog of her own creation, she decides to create Oni. In their facial features, their teeth is very spiky and seems outline their mouth with them like some Earthworm's feature and their horns sprout from the sides of their head. Their robes are bloody like they had massacred a village and they hold very rusty katanas, soaked in blood. By absorbing the fog a bit, they appear in fours surrounding Hitoshi as they would all swing towards him, trying to him and hurt him with ferocity like he responded with to Tazu. If he decides to destroy one of them, he will suffer equally powerful to the technique Genjutsu and that she can still do other things in the mean time as well. This is the beginning of course, she will meet him in blade but as a warm up, not quite or if he manages to find her despite him not being able to sense her through chakra. Even if a Genjutsu is triggered onto him from one of his attacks that successfully destroys one of the Oni, they would still remain what is left during the Genjutsu. Even after her move, with the attack she felt earlier, she feels like she had been running miles on end. She feels so sapped like she could fall down on her butt and not be able to get up.
My eyes are closing softly, inside these walls i fade away, still holding on cause this is far from over. I won't say goodnight, my heart's grown colder, waiting for the sun to rise again.

First Class: Genjutsu ▱▰▱ {Lasting Hypnosis} → The user's genjutsu prowess has achieved a heightened level of potency and lingers for longer. The primary sense of any genjutsu that was released using Kai lingers for [1] additional post. This residual effect is minor because the manipulation of the target with the technique has ended. For example, a complete darkness sight genjutsu that was dispelled may leave the lingering feeling that the world is still a bit darker than it is in reality. If a genjutsu used a mental status effect then it will linger for [1] post longer at one level below what it was before at a minimum of level one. Originally level one mental status effects are too weak to linger. The base duration of your genjutsu are increased by [1] post at E-C, [2] at B-A, and [3] at S and above. Instance genjutsu are not affected by an increase of duration but instead cannot be dispelled by kai and only by pain. Genjutsu upkeep lessens by [5] Chakra per body rank and non-Instant are applied with overwhelming up to S Rank, requiring lingering genjutsu to use [1.5x] the resource to Kai.} Second Class: Bloodline ▱▰▱ {Dual Ancestry} → {Dual Ancestry allows you to have full access to two bloodlines upon creation including all techniques, abilities, and personal attributes associated with them. For biographical purposes, your secondary bloodline may be genetic or implanted at your discretion. This discipline gives you [4] bloodline PAs to be used only for the bloodline attributes of your dual bloodlines on top of the [2] personal attributes you receive at base for a total of [6]. If two elemental bloodlines are chosen then the primary bloodline's elemental affinities become your base elements and you gain full access to those elements while your secondary bloodline gives you locked elemental affinities that you cannot learn ninjutsu techniques from but you gain full access to the secondary bloodline. Locked elemental affinities can be unlocked through methods such as ninjutsu class or personal attributes. Elemental affinity personal attributes are automatically allotted to locked affinities. Jiongu users do not have access to Dual Ancestry nor can they be chosen as a secondary bloodline. Dual Ancestry users do not have access to the implant system including the Genetic Palette personal attribute. If you use multiple techniques from both of your bloodlines in the same post without Korabo then those techniques are increased in effectiveness by one rank. This discipline cannot be taken with the Elemental Mastery discipline from Ninjutsu Class.} ▱▰▱ Cross Class or Specialization: → Genjutsu – Bloodline: The user is able to combine their bloodline techniques and genjutsu together for one action by using the bloodline technique as a trigger by effecting the target's senses. This ability has a three post cool down. Bloodline Techniques and Genjutsu cost five chakra less.

hide spoiler ▰▰▰ Bloodline Traits: • All Members of The Kemono Shinzō may speak with their own species in its native tongue • Kemono Shinzō may summon as if they were one body rank higher than they are. • Kemono Shinzō can have a physical appearance ranging anywhere from a Kemonomimi (Human with Animal Ears and Tail typically.) to an Anthromorph (Animal with Human-Like Body.) • Kemono Shinzō bloodline techniques naturally do not require hand seals as they are meant to be capable of being used regardless of the form the clan member is in. • Kemono Shinzō gain 5 free custom techniques which they can only use to make techniques based on their animal species abilities. Examples of this are a spider having web based customs, snakes with poison based customs, etc etc. These customs are considered bloodline techniques. If an animal doesn't have a particularly unique ability, these customs are simply considered 5 custom bloodline techniques. • Switching between forms requires one activation in combat unless otherwise stated. • When a Kemono Shinzō switches forms it is capable of functioning as a form of Kai so long as the user pays the proper cost of kai. Doing this does not consume an action but only once per battle.

▰▰▰ Bloodline Attributes: ▱▰▱ Abolishing Sight | All techniques labeled 'weakness' have their duration increased by [1] post. ▱▰▱ Interweaving Fairytales | Because the Sakkakugan is so adept at weaving genjutsu together they are afforded a unique version of self korabo which is done in place of a normal korabo between two illusions. When more than one genjutsu is on the target their ranks are shifted so that the lower ranked genjutsus get their strength bumped up to highest ranked genjutsu on the target for the rest of it's duration. This is only useable up to the users self ranked korabo level and each genjutsu is still treated as separate when interacting with kai. Any upkeeps are also increased to reflect this change. ▱▰▱ Otherwordly Imagery | Genjutsu performed cannot be mimicked or reversed by any means. ( Genjutsu can still be broken, however. )

▰ Human Form All Kemono Shinzō begin with this form as it is fundamental to the clan itself. This is the form that those belonging to the Kemono Shinzō use to blend in with human society. There's not much special about this form in comparison to a normal human aside from the form commonly has animal-like features or is generally more animal-looking over all. While in this form the user is capable of using all techniques in the same way a normal human would use them. Sakkakugan: Active Tier 4 Trauma: 640 Stamina lost additional 320 for first post=[4 post remaining] 1) ▰ Body Flicker Technique [ Shunshin no Jutsu ] | Rank D The user moves, using chakra to accelerate their movements rapidly. The user vanishes in the blink of an eye, often leaving behind leaves, sand or some other debris behind them that is kicked up from their action. This allows the user to travel instantly up to fifty feet within combat but cannot be used in conjunction with an attack during this action. In combat, this technique is able to be maximally used three times. Alternatively, this can be used to freely escape combat into another topic to another within the subforum. Outside of combat, the user may move the same distance as if escaping combat with this technique.
2) ▰ Haunting Attack: Triple Slash [ Wasurerarenai Kōgeki: San no Kiri ] | Rank X | Spiritual [Used At Rank A] The user channels chakra into their feet as a demonic fog rolls over a five foot area per rank of the technique, spreading to hide the user's chakra signature and causing blindness scaled to the technique as they vanish into the fog. This fog remains active for one post per rank and those within it are subject to mental stress tiered to the technique's rank. While within the fog, the user is able to launch three basic combat weapon attacks equal to the rank of this technique or lower by expending their defensive activation once per post. Agility bonuses are reduced by [1] stat point amount per rank of the technique within the fog.
3) ▰ Haunting Attack: Demonic Ambush [ Wasurerarenai Kōgeki: Akuma Machibuse ] | Rank X | Spiritual [used at Rank A] An advanced skill to be used after Haunting Attack: Triple Slash technique and must be used at the same rank the parent technique was. After the user creates the fog, they may utilize this technique from within it. For each rank of the Haunting Attack, the user may create an oni or tengu of their own design up to ten feet in height each that attack the target from whatever location they appear by absorbing the demonic fog. Each of these creatures are defeated with any ranked attack. However, when one is destroyed, a genjutsu of the parent technique's rank is able to be cast for no activation. In any genjutsu active, these creatures can remain visible if the user desires.
THMP! Her blow made contact as Ichigo felt the wooden blade of her weapon bump against the soft level of Hitoshi's cheek. It wasn't very much longer until he'd blow right past her. "I did it..." she said with the voice of an inspired student having their first real breakthrough. She landed an attack, the first in her fight! Ichi seemed a little more composed until fog started to roll in from somewhere behind her. The girl spun around her in some vain attempt to find the source of where all of this was coming from. A little confused, with this being the first real genjutsu she had been under. It wasn't until Tazu came to her and whispered to her about her attack that she'd jump back. "Augh!" Surprised by the sudden voice, the girl let out a surprised yelp and bounded back just in time to see Hitoshi charge forth with lightning come off of his weaponry. Ichi watched in awe as he sailed forth and went about going all out against Tazu, which she dealt with with her amount of grace and serenity that flowed around her. Ichigo still was trapped in this genjutsu, blinking multiple times in order to clear it from her mind.
"Wow, Hitoshi! You must be super strong!" she said with her eyes full of intrigue. "How did you do all that water stuff? Is that some sort of secret jutsu?"
