Training in the Sand Village (Open to Companions only)

"Not this again" Matsu then ,still holding his bone sword, ran with the wind to get out of the smoke.
"Where are you sensei I gotta bone to pick with you" he began to giggle at his little pun.

Chieko felt the strong wind blast at her and looked over at her team mate. She followed Matsu's example and instead jumped backwards letting the wind carry her farther in her jumps. She kept her eyes shifting from her sensei, then around to his clones to react to any movements when she could, all the while stringing hand seals together.
'Muzikuri no konbou!' She says in her head tap the ground as she lands. She lets the staff form in her hands and already begins to spin it as it keeps forming into its full shape. She drops into another defensive stance and waits for an opening.

The two clones behind the genin began to inhale air into their lungs again and quickly formed the neccessary hand seals before blowing out large fireballs from Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu.

Washi idly twirled his long hair with his fingers and brushed some ash from his robes before running and shunshining forward to where the genin were to engage them in close combat

Matsu Shunshined out of the way of the Fireball and then threw many kunai across the field so he could Kawarimi almost any where he desired.

*Coughs up some blood

He then spits the blood on the ground.

Her body felt an intense heat behind her as she turned around to the flame. Her mind flashed of the events of yesterday, causing her eyes to wince. She looked around for the kunai she hadn't used earlier to use and spots it jabbed into the ground.
'Kawarami!' She yells inside her head, with her staff between her hands in a seal.

"Now that you two have had a bit of practice with your basic jutsus, let's begin my first official lesson," said the real Washi as he came behind Matsu,

"Lesson:One Taijutsu! When engaged in close combat the most important thing to do is.."

Washi threw a heavy punch at Matsu's head,

"Con..

He stepped forward and launched himself into a spinning kick,

"Cen..

before stepping back a bit and throwing a few shuriken at Chieko.

"trate!"

She winced watching her sensei throw such hard hits on someone as young as her and begins to spin her water staff in front of her body to deflect the shuriken. As she spins it back down into place she charges keeping her eyes locked on her sensei but her other senses on everything else.

"Looks like he'll be out for a good two minutes," said Washi observing Matsu who had fallen down. Washi sensing Chieko approaching quickly turned round and keeping a tight grip on Kira focused some of his chakra into the Kunai, extending it's blade three times and adding in wind manipluation.

"Control your body and don't be reckless when attacking," he said calmly as he thrust Kira forwards towards Chieko, "Oh and I hope your being alert by the way."

He pointed behind Chieko as his two clones shunshined closer, each of them performing a sweeping kick at her legs.

She jumped forward over the legs into a roll taking advantage of her midair flip she throws the staff back at the two clones. As she comes back up to her foot she shoves her hands down into her pouch and snaps them back out with several shuriken leaving her hands. She then claps together in a series of seals for one of her mostly used jutsu.
"Mizurappa!" She yells ringing her fingers around her lips. She aims the water jet just below the shuriken to not upset their trajectory and watches closely for her sensei's next move.

Washi follows her movement closely, impressed that she was alert of his two clones. Seeing that she had jumped to avoid their kicks he grins.

"The only problem with jumping out of the way is that gravity pulls you down again making your movements predictable and allowing your enemies to guess where you'd end up."

He saw the staff coming and both clones shunshined out of the way while Washi deflected the shuriken with Kira before throwing his own shurikens to where Cheiko would land.

Matsu woke up slowly rising and saw Washi. Matsu then Shunshined behind Washi and used Dance of the Larch. He then dove at Washi for a tackle. As he was going into Washi noticed Chieko was about to get hit with shuriken "look out" not thinking he just revealed that he was behind Washi sensei.

Having not released her jutsu yet, she moves her aim up slightly and lets the water jet push her body to the ground. The shuriken miss her by inches or even centimeters worth as she lands. She begins to form another set of hand seals leaving no time for hesitation and slams her hands onto the ground.
"Doton! Doryuu Taiga!" She yelled. It was a jutsu she rarely used. Just under her sensei's feet, the ground begins to turn soft and gradually into muddy terrain as her chakra seeps through.

Doryuu Taiga- Mud River
D-rank
User preforms needed handseals, when completed the jutsu is targeted underneath the opponents feet turning the ground into a muddy river.

*Kojima approached the training area slowly, eyes on Washi-sensei, cautious that perhaps he would get thrown into the training with a sudden burst of flame, even before he announced his presence. standing 10 meters out as he saw them start on close combat, Kojima buttoned up his shirt again, calling out* "Started without me?"

Washi turned round to see Matsutsu about to tackle him, he quickly threw Kira up in the air and used the replacement jutsu to dodge him before quickly forming handseals in mid air to make a Kagebunshin which pushed him and changed the direction of his landing so as to avoid the muddy river. Washi landed gracefully and collected his senses together.

"Argh, my robes better not be muddy," he said in disgust, "Ahh Kojima, come join our training."

The two clones shunshined towards Kojima and beckoned him.

*Kojima bit his lip as the two clones shunshin towards him, pulling out a kunai in each hand and charges at them,still upset from his earlier incident with Koku sensei, getting about 2 meters outbefore shunshing between them and hurling his kunai to his sides as he did, reappearing five meters away, spinning quickly as his hand reached for another kunai, charging at one of them from behind*

Matsu Shunshined next to Washi to strike him with his Dance of Camelia. Matsu hoped Kojima would help. He knew he would not get in the way but Kojima and him have pretty good teamwork skills even if they were rivals. "Kojima Chieko lets beat Washi sensei"

"Hai!" She called back to Matsustu. She formed another set of the same seals as before.
"Doryuu Taiga!" She calls hoping to distract Washi-sensei with the mud river as the other two would attack. She slams her hands onto the ground and concentrates her chakra to where Washi stood.
'So you don't like dirty clothes huh?'

"These robes are made of high-quality silk, enforced with linen and lined with cotton. It's what seperates the Oda from everyone else," said Washi as he elegantly shunshined away from Matsu's attack and the mud river while forming handseals.

He lazily pointed towards Chieko and made eye contact before whispering to himself,
"Magen: Washi no Jutsu."

Then sidestepping further attacks, he continued talking,

"Lesson two: Genjutsu."

Meanwhile the two clones each threw shuriken deflecting the kunai at their side before using the replacement jutsu on the fallen kunai. They spun round quickly and shunshined behind Kojima, one doing a sweeping kick towards the legs while one did a spinning hook kick towards the head.

*Kojima heard the rustle of robes behind him as he turned to charge the clones, and kept turning, doing a full 360 to see the two attacks coming at him. still moving with the momentum of his charge, facing them now, he jumped back, forcing his body to lay horizontal, so that the kicks passed just under him and behind him, throwing the kunai he was holding at the clone doing the high kick before he got more than a few feet away, tucking his body in after he cleared the range of their legs to hurl his momentum into a backflip, landing in a low stance on the ground in front of them*

__________________________

The clone doing the sweeping kick quickly threw a shuriken at the kunai approaching the clone doing the high kick, deflecting the attack away. They quickly threw a few shurikens at Kojima in retaliation to the earlier attack. One of the clones shunshined towards Kojima, jumping and attempting to do Leaf Great Whirlwind while the other stayed back quickly forming hand seals.

*Kojima bit his lip jumping off to the side of the kunai, finding himself in the path of a sudden Leaf Great Whirlwind, he arches backwards, catching himself on his hands, lips setting in a firm line at the sudden strain of the movement, the jumping clone overshooting him by only a few inches, Kojima continues his back handspring movement, pulling a kunai and flicking it towards the clone doing jutsu , one of his feet hitting ground as he lands, the other shooting into a back kick towards the other clone*

"Watch out," said the clone doing jutsu as it shunshined to the side and finally said, "Bunshin: Daibakuha!"
The clone doing taijutsu suddenly exploded causing a loud roar and making a small crater on the ground.

*Kojima frowned hearing the first clone speak. since the taijutsu clone did not fight back, and had intended to merely explode, Kojima's kick landed on his back. sensing the imminent danger, as he had been shown in his training with washi sensei earlier, He used his foot on teh clone to propel himself for a shunshin straight at the other clone, weilding his last kunai in his hand hoping to shunshin right through it, his legs barely escaping the explosion*

_____________________________________________________

"Lesson:Two," said the clone to Kojima quickly shunshining the way out of any attacks, "Genjutsu!"
It quickly formed the neccessary seals before pointing at Kojima and making eye contact,
"Magen: Washi no jutsu!"

The replica of Washi grinned, knowing that Kojima had experienced this genjutsu before unlike the other two and wondered how he would get out of it this time.

"Perhaps I should teach you the basics of getting out of Genjutsu," said the clone.

*Kojima frowns biting his lip as Washi-sensei makes eye contact, and he begins to see all the replications forming. A part of him knew this was merely a Genjutsu, but being caught in it, it was like he could only sit and watch as it all happened again. He backed up, keeping a fair distance, trying to remain alert and ready for whatever might happen, regulating his breathing*
