The Greasy Wheel (Training Thread)

Post by Rudi » Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:29 am

The upcoming Chuunin Exams were approaching fast, and Yusuke was planning to make a trip to family outside of the village. He planned on taking advantage of training in Secret Arts of the Genki Star there, however he wasn't leaving for a few days so he to spend some time at The Greasy Wheel to train. Renting a room in a motel nearby, Yusuke prepared for a three day training regimine before he left for the Isles of Kaiiki where his family resided.

For the first day Yusuke practiced his agility. With speed an important aspect of his combat athleticism, extreme agility was also a precious skill to cultivate. The Greasy Wheel had a room with several large iron gears embedded in the walls, with the cogs powering a senbon throwing gadget that hung from the wall. Yusuke stoked the coals of the steam engine that powered the gears to move, and stood in the middle of the room.

The senbon projectile hung from a steel chain, and lowered itself to the ground before it began to fire wooden senbon. The device began to spin one way, and raising higher to the ceiling. The senbon began to spin, firing all levels. When the chain became too tangled it would spin the other way faster. Moving fast, the exercise was intense, and the senbon could penetrate the skin.

Yusuke however was unafraid. He leapt in the air, dodged the initial firing toward his legs. As the machine rose in the air Yusuke was falling to the ground. Before the projectile became adjacent with him Yusuke gripped his wooden katana handle. He focused his energy and performed Secret Art: Akai Hirahira・Quickdraw. Twisting his hips just before pulling the blade from the sheath, Yusuke increased his speed and was able to deflect the moving assault of senbon.

As he landed on the ground with his sword drawn, the machine fired more wooden projectiles at him. Yusuke swiftly crouched low and entered Secret Art: Akai Hirahira ・Stalking Form. Crouched forward and flanking the machine Yusuke dashed away from the fire. The machine followed, spinning backwards even more quickly than before. Moving with experience Yusuke rolled to the right, with a soft swish of his robes; slick and fastly flanking the machine Secret Art: Akai Hirahira・Hinge Roll left him on his knees in the perfect position to draw his sword. However Yusuke stood up instead, and pranced backwards with profound agility. Stalking Form still, Yusuke was lightning quick, and completely sheathed his sword.

The machine was firing in the opposite direction for a second, giving Yuselvilv enough time to weave together handseals and cast a mist around him. Still on the flank of the machine, Yusuke readied Secret Art: Akai Hirahira・Pearl Strike, and with virtual silence side stepped closer tot eh flank of the machine. He could see a golden shine, the keyring to shut the device off; with amazing speed he lunged forward and nimbly pulled the key out.

The senbon stopped firing from the gadget, Yusuke completing the training excercise. The Hidden Mist jutsu remained in the room, and he splashed some water on the coal in the stove to stop the gears clicking. Feeling accomplished Yusuke headed out of the room and back to his room for a shower.

After getting cleaned up after a hard days work, the ninja prepared to satisfy a different sort of training. As a Ketsueki, developing the Genki Star on your tongue was as important as tempering your body. Yusuke had to satisfy the hungry for Genki that his Ketsueki bloodline endowed him with; as well the process of consuming Genki could be refined and mastered. With his pride swollen from a flawless performance with the automated senbon device, Yusuke hoped to try out a new technique. As he walked through the streets, looking for a donor to stealthily draw blood from, Yusuke reviewed the details of the new form he was going to experiment with.

Secret Art: Akai Hirahira, is a style of Taijutsu that features aspects of Kenjutsu and Nintaijutsu. By using Genki as strength in the users breath, they are able to increase the effectiveness of various aspects of their body with supernatural effects. Yusuke's particular style often relied on stealth and acrobatics to accomplish complex maneuvers and rapid strikes. This new form he had yet to master used Genki from his own body rather than what he drew from another human. His agility training was vital to mastering Secret Art: Akai Hirahira ・Haunting Form, with one misstep leaving him face-first in the ground.

He felt ready to push the envelope, and happily trailed a young lady viable to be his next blood donation. Yusuke pulled his scarf down, baring his fangs. Before he leapt at her, Yusuke took a deep breath and prepared to enter the Taijutsu form of Akai Hirahira.

Secret Art: Akai Hirahira ・Haunting Form employs the Ketsueki's own Genki from their body to be used as fuel for chakra, and at a hefty cost of their own stamina the user is able to mold this chakra with deep breaths and create small wisps of red chakra around their feet. When the user jumps, they are able to condense the chakra to give their feet a stable footing for another jump of equal measure. The second leap is completely silent, unheard by normal ears. Yusuke's intensive stamina training with the automated machine was improving his endurance, and his agility had never been better. He took a deep breath and prepared the form.

Inside of his mouth the Genki Star glowed red, his body assimilating Genki within his tongue to be consumed and turned into chakra. Yusuke exhaled, and the chakra in his tongue traveled towards his feet. Inhaling again, the chakra natural began to permeate the air around his feet like small clouds. Maintaining his focus still, Yusuke could feel the drain on his body from utilizing his body like this, however the effects were impressive. He was certain he had mastered the technique, and looked down on his target from a rooftop.

Yusuke Jumped from the roof, towards the woman who was at her door step, searching for her keys inside. He fell further down, and just as she found her keys the vampire feet were just a meter above her head. Yusuke bent his knees and held his breath for a split second. The chakra under his feet solidified for that split second, and he his feet felt a familiar hardness under them as he jumped upward. The double jump softened the dive, and Yusuke silently landed behind the woman.

With dark brown hair, almost black in the night, the woman was leaned forward trying to get her keys into the door. Yusuke reached his hands out, and covered the womans mouth. She dropped her keys, and the Ketsueki could smell alcohol on her breath. He didn't much care for a drinkers blood, often leaving his breath stinky. But he was too excited by his success with the Haunting Form, and Yusuke exhaled once more. His body released and the chakra disappeared at his feet. Yusuke pressed his body close to the woman and held her wrist with his other hand. Holding her wrist to her hip, Yusuke pressed hsi fangs into her exposed neck. The sharp points pierced her flesh, and blood poured out quickly. Drawing his bite back, Yusuke's tongue swirled around the wounds and he tasted blood. The Genki Star activated, and his body instantly felt a euphoric rush of power.

Yusuke released the screaming woman, and leapt onto a rooftop. As he dashed from rooftop to rooftop making his escape, he could hear her screams. He was incredibly proud of himself, and rushed back to the Blood Island of Kaiiki to record his progress in his training journal.

Since he was on a roll in the wee hours of the night, Yusuke paused after gaining enough distance from the scene where he had fed on someone. Feeling completely invigorated by the Genki Star Yusuke entered the Haunting Form once again. The red chakra wisped around his feet with each inhale and exhale. The form was perfected, and despite the drain on his vitality Yusuke felt confident. He leapt from a building, and at the apex of his jump the chakra around his feet condensed. His two feet paused for a half second to make another jump and he flipped through the air. Spinning rapidly, Yusuke vaulted over top a chimney and landed on the building. The jump had to have been near ten meters in distance, but he didn't stop to marvel at his feat.

The ninja was training now.

The Ketsueki hopped toward another rooftop, this time using his red chakra podium to leap backwards at the climax; he turned back around and landed on the very roof top he had leapt from. Breathing hard, Yusuke released the form and fell on his back. Laying on a rooftop, hyper ventilating, the young teenager was super impressed with himself. After catching his breath, Yusuke made his way to the beachside and Water-Walked back home to Island Chi. After recording his progress in his journal excitedly, Yusuke slept soundly for another night. He had one more night until he voyage away from Kiri, and hoped he would continue to impress himself.
