ACK! (Open to a jounin)

Jogging slightly to catch up with Kashim, Kazuhiro turned and walked onto the training grounds. "I take it you're ready start?" Kazu joked. He didn't know that much about the Bloodline abilities of the Kaguya clan, so he decided to start with a little basic assessment of the boy's skills. He clasped his hands and concentrated for a moment. Small (four foot) tree-like shrubs grew in a circle around Kashim, fifteen of them in total. Changing his hand positioning, Kazu made the shrubs change shape, revealing more of their bark. They now resembled crude wooden targets. Kazu smiled. It had been a while since he himself had had any practice, and it was nice to know that the basic techniques still came so easily, without even having to speak. He spoke to Kashim, "On my word, I want you to break each of these targets as quickly as you can. They're stronger than regular wood, so basic taijutsu probably won't be that quick at breaking them. Use whatever you have to to complete the task." He stood back to observe the boy's skills. "Go."
__________________________________________________________________________

Bloodline Limits: Mokuton. Kazuhiro is likely related to the Senju clan. Kekkei Genkai enables him to combine both water and earth elements to form wood.

"huh?" he said not paying attention but playing with his fingers. He noticed the wood targets and grinned. "DIE!!!!" he yelled as his arm bones came out of his skin. "SPINNING ARM SPIKES" he screamed and began spinning extremlley fast, his sharp bones pointed outward. The bones curled around his arms and stuck out just beyond his fingers. Kashim rapidly spun towards one of the wodden targets and began slashing at high speeds. Kashim leaped back and seeing he had only done a few scratches. "NONONONONO!" He screamed as his knee bones forced out his skin. He ran up to the practice dummy and brought his knee up into the dummy. Kashim began spinning again which added more power. "TAKE THIS!" he yelled as he immediantly stopped spinning and slashed the dummy. The wooden dummy shattered and fell to the ground. Kashim breathed heavy as he continued to the next one. After around 45 minutes Kashim lay on the ground breathing heavy, his chakra level low, and all the dummy's slashed apart. Kashim could barely breath and he curled up into a ball. He calmed down and got up. Too bad Kashim didnt have enough energy... he fell backwards onto the ground knocked out.

Kazuhiro raised an eybrown. Well, he thoughy, that was intense. He walked over the nearest target. "Maybe I overdid it a little." He mused, poking at the pile of splintered wood. He turned his attention back to Kashim. "I definitely overdid it." He muttered, looking at the state of the boy. Shame, he thought to himself, I had all these other exercises planned... He lifted the boy to his feet, supporting with one arm. He opened his item pouch once more. "You're lucky I bought this recently." He produced a single soldier pill, his only one. He'd meant to save it for his own training, but he could always get another. Placing it in Kashim's mouth, he closed the boy's jaw and waited for him to wake up.

Kashim slowly woke up and practiaclly leaped out of Kazu's arms. He began talking all at once about how awesome it was. "WOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOW!" he yelled and ran around, like an airplane. " I was like BAMAMABAAM!" he said cheerfully and looked at the jounin. "DID YA SEE ME!?" he yelled and kept talking on and on and on.

Almost immediately regretting the decision to give Kashim more energy, he still managed to smile at the boy's enthusiasm. "Very good - you put in a lot of effort. But look what happened to your body afterwards. I'll try to help you control your attacks, making each single one do as much damage as ten or even twenty." Kazu said. "I'll going to make just one more shrub, but the point you have to strike will be very small. If you concentrate one or two strikes at a specific point, you won't need to use up anywhere near as much energy as you just did hitting them many times."

He clasped his hands together and repeated the technique from earlier, but growing a single shrub this time. He then narrowed the prominent target point. "Extend a bone in your forearm to strike the small target. Use your body weight to push your attack and hit harder. Try to balance yourself and steady your chakra to make sure you hit right in the middle. If you can manage all of those, a single hit should at least penetrate the target, if not break it completely." Once again, Kazu stood back to watch Kashim's attempt.

Kashim sighed then nodded. His forearm bone stuck out while he focused his chakra into his body. He focused on hitting the shrub dead center and charged. As Kashim appraocded the shrub he thrust his arm bone forward and put more wieght into it by pushing off the ground with hisi left foot. Kashim hit the target in the middle just like the jounin said. "IT WORKED! IT WORKED!" he yelled then ran around yelling it worked again and again and again.

"Excellent, well done." He waited for Kashim to stop celebrating. "Now imagine if you'd done that to each target in the first exercise. You'd never have passed out, and you'd have finished the task in...about five minutes I expect." He brushed the broken target to one side and walked over to Kashim. "Would you like to train some more?" He asked. "If so, what would you like to do?"

"TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN!" he yelled then thought about what to train. "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" he said very slowly liking how it sounded. He remebered what he was supposed to be thinking about then said cheerfully " RUNNING! YAY!" Kashim ran around the field happily talking the whole time.

Kazuhiro sighed. Deciding to wait once more for the youngster, he sat down and relaxed. "When you're done, I've got a new exercise for you." He called out. Kazu was quite excited to see how Kashim would perform in the task. Though his knowledge of Shikotsu Myaku was limited, he had heard it was quite a flexible ability, and could be adapted to suit all sorts of situations. This will certainly test that theory. He though to himself.

Kashim continued his running for a little bit then leaped in front of him. "then whatcah wating for! COMEONECOMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEON!" he yelled cheerfully. He jumped up and down like a bouncing basketball.

Looking up from his resting position, Kazu saw that Kashim appeared to be ready. Hopping to his feet and stretching, he wasted no time in forming a hand sign. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Nine clones appeared alongside and around Kazuhiro. He addressed Kashim, "These clones won't hit you hard, but they will move fast and will try to attack you. Take your time to get rid of them, use the precision and power you used earlier. You finish when you've dispatched them all this way. Every one of them you get rid of 'cheaply', not using the technique, I will replace immediately." The clones moved into position, fanning out in a semi-circle around Kashim. Kazu gave one last piece of advice. "Don't rush it." He stood back, and nodded. "Go."

Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: 0-5m
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. Unlike other clones, they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. Any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed.

Kashim let out a small sigh. "okay.." he said and focused on forcing wieght into his attack. Kashim was talking to much time and a clone punched him quickly. "gawd dang it." he muttered and leaped forward. He pushed off his left foot and thrust the bone into the clone's stomach. He waited to see if this was 'cheap' or not.

Noticing the boy's apparent disappointment in the task, Kazu wrinkled his nose. In front of him, a clone had burst in a puff of smoke. The other clones stopped for a moment. "That was really good. You repeated the technique from earlier, and applied it to a moving target. Good work." He paused, but continued a few moments later. "Is there a certain something you'd like to train at? I can see this isn't going to be too much of challenge for you." He asked.

"nope. its fine." he said and began talkingn about everything at once and continued attacking the clones with the same technique. He was just a little tired of just training. Coudlnt they mix it with something fun? Kashim, after a little bit, had taken out all the clones with the same techinuqe.

The penny finally dropped for Kazuhiro. A hyperactive youngster, and you're trying to get him to concentrate and take things slowly?! He almost laughed at his naivety. "Let's play a game." He suggested. "I'll create a forest around this area, and I'll send a few clones in. Then...you play tag." He looked at Kashim. "And if you like, I'll put an exploding tag in each of them, just so when you get 'em, it will look cool." He smiled, hoping this would be a more attractive prospect for the boy. "Of course you'll have to be very careful if I do that" He added. "How does that sound?"
