Teach me already!

Takayoshi kicked a stone aside, while he was walking in circles, waiting for his friend Chojiro.

The place where he was waiting was a large field behind the Ninja Academy, filled with dummies in a bad shape. There was no grass anymore on the ground, except from sand and stones. Some old rusted weapons were lying on the ground. The sky was bright, with a little breeze and a few clouds moving towards the west. It was bright afternoon, and Takayoshi had just eaten before coming here, after sending a exploding tag in his friend's office with a word attatched to it.
He wanted to learn his S rank jutsu already. And now preferably. And if Chojiro had some objections against it, he'd use Tō Rō Nagashi or simply Suna Henbou on him...

'...Tō Rō Nagashi would be too boring to use on him and he knows that move.' thought Taka while yawning and sitting down against the wall of the academy, crossing his legs, leaning his katana against his shoulder and leaning backwards to take a nap. 'Hyaku-Hachi Pound Hō would be more fun...'

And the young man fell half asleep, keeping an ear and eye open in case Chojiro would attack him.

Chojiro had just left the manor and looked at the position of the sun in the sky. It had taken longer then expected to find that blasted scroll. Maybe he should try to organize it a bit better, nah that is what he keeps attendants around for. Make them do some work around the office. Any way, where did he say to meet again. I believe it was the academy weapon grounds. No surprise on that one, sometime he wish Takayoshi would sometimes show a bit of originality.

Chojiro progressed through the streets at a good clip and was body flicking back and forth between the crowd of people. He liked the looks on their faces as they prepare for the kage to run into them but then is gone. It took a few minutes but then he arrived at the academy. Man it had been forever since he was at this place, Chojiro was not very good with children.

He spoted Takayoshi lening against a wall and appearing to be asleep. Great he goes through all this effort and the guy falls asleep talk about not being appreciated. Chojiro Strolls right up to him and stand bside him and speaks.

"Great look at what we have here, I am going to have to talk to the janitorial staff about the slug infestation on the walls."

Takayoshi grinned and pulled his hood up, covering his black hair that was getting hot from all the heat that it stored up thanks to it's color. His white hood, only piece of clothing from his country he had kept, still wore the emeral fastening and the little chain that just fit around his head. It also covered his shoulders and most of the fur.
"You're late, Cho-chan." he said, while yawning and standing up, while fastening his swords at his green haramaki. "I'll need to do some bounty hunting after I'm done learning this annoying S rank jutsu."

The young man's green eyes observed his friend from tip to toes and noticed the scroll that was under his arm and a few misplaced hairs.
"You've been scaring people around again while using your "body flicker" thingy?" he asked smirking. He made sure that body flicker was well pronounced, since he had still his strange heavy accent while talking japanese and if he wasn't careful enough, his words always became puns of which Chojiro laughed all the time. Like with his Oni Giri attack. The Kage couldn't stop laughing while explaining him that Onigri meant a rice ball in his language.
'That so pissed me off...' thought Taka while frowining and glaring.

Chojiro giggled visibly at taka's attempt to make sure not to let his accent interfere. He knew that he was going to try to aggrivate him but when will he learn that is deffinitly not going to happen. When is he going this is not the desert anymore

"Ok so Taka-chan I see you forgot to remove your towel from your head this morning. You should thourghly dry your hair before leaving your house. "

Chojiro would then pat the scroll." Late is only relevent if you get a chance to learn this or not. I mean personnally I can just go home now and get an early nights rest." With that Chojiro shrugs and turns to walk away, whistling.

Takayoshi turned red of anger and grabbed his friend by the shoulder, turned him around and glared directly in his eyes, while saying:
"Don't you DARE to insult my culture...Or I'll make sure I'll chop you into little pieces right here and right now. And I'm sure that Sandai Kitetsu, my red sword, would love doing so to you...and my two other companions would follow his example. Nakama or not, I won't accept any disrespect to my ancestors."

He let Sandai Kitetsu slip a little out of it's scabbard while he glared in Chojiro's eyes. A short and awkward silence came between the two friends.
"You just love trolling me, do you?" he finally sighed while shoving Cho away from him. "Now, tell me, does this scroll contain the promised S rank jutsu?"

Taka thought for a little while and rubbed some of the tissue of his hoodie between his fingers. He'd have to replace it...and win some new money. He didn't want to sell the emeralds he had; they were the biggest and purest emeralds you would be able to find in the countries of the South and over all the seas. He knew that not even one jewelry buyer or seller would be able to afford it anyway. It came from a King's crown after all; the crown of the King of Arabasta itself.
He grinned at the memory of how much fun he had gotten of asking their weaponsmith of their ship to remake jewelry out of it.

But that was history and the future was in Cho's hand. Well, his close future that was.

Chojiro knew instantly he had reached the limit of his teasing. He knew that he would need to find what issues are acceptible and which would cause issues, if he ever is going to hve any relationships. He would make it up to Taka later, maybe with lunch or trip down to take a look at some of the new wares that had came into the stores from the docks.

"I would never dream of insulting your cultures illustrous heritage and as tempting of an offer as it is, I think there is a couple of people who may get insulted if I allow you to chop me into pieces before they had there shot."

Chojiro watched his next actions and found it a bit bizarre. It appeared Takayoshi was feeling the fabric between his fingers, maye it would be a shopping trip after all. Chojiro could of swore he saw a similar fabric at a shop on the way here, but that was later.

"Yeah this is it, I have not had a chance to look at it yet myself personally. Swords are quite not my thing, I prefer a more...um..artistic flair to my style.~" After he finished he smirked lightly.

Takayoshi huffed and crossed his arms, still angered at Chojiro.
"Psh. Like I care others wanted to kill you before me. First arrived are the first served as they say."

He raised an eyebrow when he noticed that his friend was watching all his movements closely. Then he jumped back, in a disgusted way.
"I didn't know you were leaning to that way, Chojiro!" he yelled. "Get away from me!...But first teach me what's in that scroll like you promised!"
His eyebrows twitched and his kept his Sandai Kitetsu ready in case Cho would try something weird. He would so cut the guy's hands off if he even tried to touch him on that precise moment.

Chojiro would giggle a bit at his friends remark. He can tell he was in a huff still but his mood had dropped a bit." Yeah and I doubt to many of them could come close to stopping even one of your blades to get their chance." He threw the compliment out to ease his anger a bit more plus it is hard enough to learns a jutsu of this rank, to learn it fully was going to take his full concentration.

Chojiro saw Taka jump back and take a defensive stance and comment on him being that way. He gave him a blank stare as he tried to get exactly what his meaning was. What was this also about leaning, must be some sort of foreigner thing.

"Leaning I always tend to lean in this direction, I mean my right leg is my dominant so if I put more of my weight into it then of course I lean this way silly. I would not be wasting my day here if I had no intention in teaching you this scroll. I mean I have so much slee..I mean paper work to sign at my office."

"...Aho." mumbled Takayoshi, a sweat drop appearing behind his head. "I know you don't do your paperwork."

He straightened his back, placed his right hand on the handle of Wadō Ichimonji and leaned on his right leg.
"How are you supposed to teach me something you didn't master? Isn't a master supposed to transmit his knowledge to someone who doesn't know?"
The young man stared directly in Cho's eyes, challenging him directly to prove him he was the master in this situation and not some random beginner in this matter.
Though, somehow he knew already that Chojiro couldn't prove him that, since he had no knowledge at all, or almost none when it came to weapons and sword fighting. In fact, if Chojiro ever tried to challenge Taka to a swords fight, or even a simply kunai match, he'd lose. Except if he cheated...like he usually did.
'Meh...Cho's my nakama maybe...but he's troublesome.'

Aho means "idiot"

Kara had been sitting close by in a tall tree relaxing when the two men entered and disturbed her quiet. "Stupid boys..." she grumbled as she stuck her left hand into one of her clay pouches and took a large chunk of clay out and let the mouth on her hand begin to chew shaping the clay into several small birds. After a few moments the hand spit out the newly made birds and Kara made a handseals with her right hand and the clay birds took flight and flew over to cho and taka.


Just as they reached there target Kara made a strange handseals unique to her own clan, "katsu.." she said under her breath as the clay birds exploded covering the entire area in smoke and blowing back anyone who didn't get out of there way.

Man sometimes talking to Taka was a bit hard. He did not seem to understand if he had known the jutsu, he would of not needed the scroll. The scroll showed the proper form and style broken down piece by piece to perform the jutsu

"That is what the scroll is for Takayoshi, I mean if I had mastered it, dont you think I would of just showed you?"

It was just then he saw motion out of the corner of his eye. There was some strange moving white colored birds. They did not look like any birds that he had recognized from any of his travels. The weirdest part of all was that the the birds were traveling right at him, very perculiar behavior for any type of bird. With that in mind he quickly channaled Earth chakra to his hand and popped into 7 handsigns in rapid succession. He slammed his hand onto the ground.

Description: Doton • Doro Gaeshi is a defensive Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Earth Element. After striking the ground with their hands, a large wall of earth will rise into place as defense. The defense is not perfect though, a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall.

Takayoshi blinked blankly at Chojiro.
"...Cho, aho, you're incapable of wielding even a sword. You wouldn't have been able to show me anything, even if you knew how this jutsu worked. My question is if you're capable to teach me this jutsu."
At the same time, he heard and saw birds attacking them directly. Cho had noticed them too and had made an wall made of earth raise in front of them.

Takayoshi prepared Sandai Kitetsu and jumped over the wall and the explosion, using it to hide his presence till he was right in front of the young jounin. Not caring about the fact she was a girl, he drew his sword while yelling one of his favorite Ittoryu attacks:
"Ittō-Ryū Iai: Shishi Sonson!"

He landed behind her, and awaited for the result of his attack, sheating his sword back, knowing that his attack should have finished her, since she couldn't have expected it...

Kara's body was cut nearly half way through her stomach if it was not for the heavy modification of the body it would have actually cut through her stomach lining. After the sword was sheathed the wound began to heal, it took almost 60 seconds but after it was done she was good as new.

"Damn you..." she growled, "I would not do that again if i was you..." she said before walking over to Chojiro, "You need to find some friends with a better scene of humor Chojiro-san..i was just having some fun since you two disturbed my rest.." she spoke quietly.

Inyu Shometsu - Secret Healing Injury Destruction
Rank: A
Range: -
Type: Supplementary

Inyu Shometsu is a Ninjutsu technique used by Kabuto. Focusing his chakra to an area to be hit, he can begin the cell creation process the moment the area becomes injured. This ability to activate his cells and create new ones is the very reason why Orochimaru favored Kabuto's talents.

As the wall took the grunt of the eplove blast, with a few pieces falling here and there. Chojiro peeks around the wall, he had seen Taka jump to the top of the wall and go at the unkwnown assailant. The smoke was clearing and he could finally see what had happened. Taka had reached his target after all and had nearly cut them in half...and they were healing themselves. Now he recognized who there attacker was, it was him. He walks around the wall and back over to the scene.

"Picking friends based on humor serves me of little use Kara, you should know that by now. Plus Takayoshi is very capable at defending himself as your body has gotten to know already."

He continues to watch the two assets at play, it looked like the two needed a little play time work things out. He prepared to join the fray if things began to get too violant.

Takayoshi's sword immediatly left it's scabbard again, knowing that the enemy wasn't finished yet. He didn't even care that the girl was probably very skilled or someone important. The bloodlust of his sword had taken over and he drew a second sword, Shuusui this time.
" Nitō-Ryū Iai: Rashōmon!"

Taka landed again in front of the girl, this time, having slashed his swords perfectly to cut her into two pieces. Not happy enough and knowing she might regenerate, he turned back to her and used another move, Sai Kuru while yelling it.

Then, satisfied with his work, he landed next to his nakama, his swords dirty of blood. He made a straight move with them, making the blood get off them and he sheeted Shuusui and Sandai Kitetsu back in their scabbards.
"You little bastard...Not only you disrespected me without a reason and you attack your own kage for "fun" because we waked you. If you wanted seriously take a nap, you would be in a more suited place then here. If you manage to regenerate once again, I'll be sure to finish you off once and for all." he growled, while not even giving her a last glance.
But he waited, carefully, to see if the girl would revive herself or not.

Description: A dual sword drawing technique so powerful that it can split large obstacles in half.

Kara was caught of guard by takayoshi's attack and cut clean and half. After the two halves fell to the group the mouth on the womens head opened and a new body began to pull its way out of the mouth, however this time it was in the form of a man. The body of none other then a fully clothed Kabuto. However there where a few visible differences from the original Kabuto; things such as his now pale skin, his eyes (now looking like orochimaru's), and on both of his palms where mouths just like Kara's.

"You angry...angry boy...ruined that form and forced me to take this one again....Its a good thing its almost time for me to find a new host..." Kabuto said wit a sarcastic tone in his voice as he pulled a scroll out of his shirt and did a hand seal with his left hand as he unrolled the scroll with his right "Release!" he spat as the scroll disappear and a shiny scythe appeared in its spot, "still feeling like messing with me boy...?" he asked.


Body shedding
Generic Sealing jutsu

Chojiro was enjoying the jutsu display, clearly at this moment Taka was in the lead but with as much damage as the newly immerged male was, he still has not even shown one scratch out of it. The history books were not exagerating of the many jutsus of the legendary orochimaru. Chojiro was tempted to see just what kind of power he would offer as an ally and right now he was not entirely impressed.

Takayoshi on the other hand, his speed and unwillingness to miss an opening was impressive. His training had gone well and he was a perfect fighting machine. The time with that one is well spent.

"Well, well if this was not a surprise we have here today. I never thought I would see the mighty Kabuto having some problems with anyone, and to Taka-chan none the less. I wonder if I will get to see round two or are you small children done with your bickering."

Chojiro starts making handsigns with both hands, one is channaling his earth chakra, while the other is controling a completely different element. he then hits the ground with both hands. An 8-foot rock golem rose from the ground. A line of ink rises out of his hip pouch and begins to wrap around the golem. The ink is absorbed into its body and that is when the head tilts back and looks straight ahead. Chojiro hops up on the golem's shoulder and sits down.

Description: Chojiro in his search for a new medium for his art and a new found fascination into summons, came up with an idea of trying his hand at sculpting with earth style and ink control. He uses the ink to infuse a pattern on the ground and brings the sculpture from the ground the chakra infused ink soaks into the 8 ft. golem sculpture bringing it to life. Though not the fastest thing, it is pretty much immune to taijutsu and take a bit of damage to go down. It attacks using strong bone crushing physical damage.

OOC: ...If the host body is cut into little pieces (lets say 4-8 pieces) how can your original body still come out of it? I'm sort of curious to know how that works. But oh well...
__________

Takayoshi blinked blankly at the male who just appeared out of the female body, absolutely not knowing who that person was. Yes, he looked strange, but otherwise, he just looked like any other human. Plus, he should be almost out of chakra, or completely out of chakra, since he didn't use a strong jutsu, like he just did before to regenerate himself. And since he was in the body of a woman, he couldn't do otherwise then pointing at him and saying:
"Hentai."

Then, he observed the scythe. A useless and shameful weapon, as he called it. And the weakness was the wooden shaft. The man was tired and wouldn't be able to keep up with Taka's speed. He'd simply use a Santōryū attack, then use his clan deshydratation jutsu and end it there. Besides, it wasn't like he could quit now. His swords were claiming their rightful due, thus he couldn't leave him be, since he wasn't finished. So, he'd have to kill him, or hope that Chojiro would step in, or that Kabuto would give up.
Not that it would be a apparently problem to kill that 'Kabuto' person. He was tired, weak from using his jutsus and using a weapon...which didn't suit him at all and which had a major weak point. which was the handle. And as far as Taka knew, he could cut through all sorts of metal so far, so, he could probably cut the blade. Plus, if he couldn't cut the scythe, he could always cut Kabuto's hands off, which was more fun.

"I got a question for you, Hentai-san. Who are you?" he asked while he drew his last and favorite sword, Wadō Ichimonji and put it in his mouth, preparing to use one of his favorite attacks, Oni Giri.

Then, he took a short pauze, letting the words of his nakama enter his brain. Then he yelled at him:
"Stop calling me that!"
