Kings of the hill [Lonely Trainings]

Post by Trusted Grader » Thu May 16, 2024 1:56 am

Yume and Yami were out and about enjoying their holiday, but they knew that time was running short so they chose to use this sunset to train while they still had the chance, but instead of training against each other, they opted to head to the beaches and mess with the kids by the large sand hill, which the blue waters dared not to touch lest it was angry. "They stand no chance against us.", "Especially not if we combine our strength." The twins fist-bumped each other before they walked up to the teenagers playing with their sand castles.

"Guys, we got a bet." Yume raised his stick and rested it on his right shoulder, he was bare-chested and only carried underpants, shorts, and some flip-flops, he also had a short straw hanging out of his mouth as he did his best to appear cool. "If we can hold the hill until the sun sets then you owe us 50 Ryo each, if not then we will pay you guys that money." Yami was dressed in his black shirt with no tank top and black matching shorts, the purple flower pattern matched his natural chakra ambiance, and even the stick matched the color of his outfit.

Yume looked at the six boys who played by their massive sand castle, he scouted for their leader and once he spotted him he would make eye contact and cast a new spell on him to entice him to engage in their game. The voice in his head would tell him to do it and even release some dopamine once he complied, making him somewhat addicted to listening to Yume's intruding voice, causing him to think of a new jutsu he could create in the future, for now, he just hoped that it worked.

"Can we bring our big bros?" Bingo and Bob's your uncle.

"You can bring whoever.", "As long as they are not adults that is... Or like... Edging on adulthood you know." Yume was losing a bit of his confidence but Yami pushed him through it, they waited a couple of minutes for another four adolescents to arrive, and they towered over the kids, which meant that they brought business. We got this. They confirmed with a nod before they rushed past the kids.

"You guys start once we reach the top.", "No cheating now." Yume and his brother chuckled the way up the hill, the twins immediately channeled chakra once they touched the base of the hill, accumulating enough chakra by the point they reached the top that they were ready to cast their jutsu as they pleased. "Not going to lie, bro, I wasn't expecting this many kids." Yume still rested the stick on his shoulder as he stood straight and prepared for the incoming onslaught. "We should be able to take 10 kids, that's five each." Yami chuckled as he held his stick outwards and sideways.

"Just wish we could use our gunblades." Yami swung dead air, imitating a slash from Slither. "Same here brother." Both released a sigh as they began to anticipate the incoming brigade of children. "Ready?", "Always!" Yami shapeshifted to multiple 2-dimensional crows that flew towards the kids, scaring half of them and managing to capture the five bigger ones, he had successfully cast his own jutsu on his targets.

Yami held them all down while Yume jumped in the air and began to run along it as if he was a free bird, stepping around until he flipped and kicked them all consecutively, sending them flying backward, Yami caught Yume's hand and spun around to toss him back to the top of the hill, he then shifted to a black panther that attempted to scare the reinforcing children. If this continues like this then we will be able to hold them without any issues. Yume chuckled as he landed, he turned around to spot his brother combat the children.

Taking in a deep breath, the white-haired brother ignored the background noises and just enjoyed the seaborn air that tasted of salt and weeds, these beaches were as clean as the ones by Crescent Coalitions, their sands were whiter for sure. "Ey, get off me!" Yume took another deep breath."Bro, I need your help!" Yume opened his eyes and chuckled once he spotted that the kids had finally overwhelmed Yami and tumbled him in his panther form, forcing him to revert back to 2d and zip his way back up the hill. "Man... Those kids.... Are resilliant... Sorry... Got to catch my breath." Yami was struggling for a brief moment which caused Yume to realize that he would have to take over for now.

How many kids are standing? 1,2,3,4,5,6,7... That's a lot. Yume sighed as he began to run down the hill to meet his foes head-on. "Hold the hill for me!" With that the boy leaped in the air and used the shoulders of the burliest kid to snap him further down, he landed with a hard kick to a scrawny kid's chest. "Ouch! That had to hurt." Yami grimaced at the kick, he then nodded at the elder kids who wanted to come for him to focus on Yume as he was tearing through their brothers. "Sorry kid!" Kicked off one kid to run up the other's chest in order to perform a flip, followed by his signature braver move that would kick one of the kids out temporarily. "Good night!"

"Like I said, I would focus on him not me." Yami dodged the incoming punch by ducking down, turned 2 dimensional then back to 3-dimensional to return the punch, he sent him flying upwards first but launched him with a following kick toward two of his comrades, leaving him to deal with one left, Yume, on the other hand, was striking and dodging multiple kids that were ganging up on him and unlike Yami he couldn't just turn to two dimensions, so instead he had to think quick and channel chakra to his eyes, he then looked at the toughest kid and cast a doujutsu on him that caused him to think that he should assist Yume, his mind was filled with forceful thoughts that he was his ally and that he shouldn't harm him.

"Get off him! If you mess with him you mess with me!" The tough kid pushed his friends off of Yume and started backing him. It worked! Yume rolled away before he began to run in the air back towards the top of the hill. He had to use a bit of chakra but at least he didn't have to deal with the annoying sand that would draw far more endurance than he wished to spare at the moment. Yume stopped once he spotted that his brother kicked the big guy down, causing him and his comrades to roll down the hill creating a domino effect where they knocked down the younger kids as well. "Nice one!", "You know it!"

Yume took a deep breath and tried his best to recover from all the damage he received, Yami just chuckled and wanted to say 'I told you so' but refrained out of respect. The duo, once ready, would raise their weapons to prove that they were still the kings of the hill.

Yume was feeling a bit desperate but knowing that he and his brother could take on ten people was exhilarating, the fact that Hozok had crept ever so closely to inspect the fight didn't escape Yami's periphery, a gentle nod was shared between the two, Yume was busy counting the oncoming goons to even think to inspect the background and complained that they might have taken on a bit too much for them to handle. "Man, I don't know If we can really take them all, It's cool that we can hold them off but for how much longer man?" "For as long as it takes brother." Yami bumped Yume's shoulder and with a little boost of confidence the duo prepared for the incoming fight.

Yume was quick to think of a genjutsu to cast now that he was expanding his jutsu library, he tossed the stick at the big burly guy leading the charge, allowing Yami to rush after it as he formed a set of hand seals and cast his new genjutsu on the second in command. As his ethereal ghost traveled to meet his eyes his genjutsu would trigger everyone who saw this action, causing them to see a majestic aura around Yume that was protected by what appeared to be massive replicas of his eyes hovering above him, each time they shared a glance the intensity would heighten, and for the unfortunate one to be struck by hisMusou • Invading Thoughts doujutsu would suffer doubly so as his thoughts fought against him, they told him to run from this fight and forfeit any chance they had at winning for the twins had already won.

"Another one out." Yume kicked off another teen and began to run in the air. "See, slowly but surely we get rid of every one of them until we win." The shadowy twin replied as he hit a small teen with both sticks. "That's easy to say when you are not the one being drained of your chakra pool.", "Exactly, so I'm not going to sit around and complain now am I.", "Touché." Yami chuckled as he performed a backflip away from the combat up the top of the hill.

If we do continue at this pace then we should be able to at least hold them off, we are going to have to force our way through! Yume chuckled as clasped at the air for Yami to toss him his stick.

Yami wasn't lost in transaction, no, he was focused on trying a new jutsu but he needed to make sure that his brother managed to catch his breath a little for he had used up quite a lot of chakra the last couple of minutes, with all the air running and new jutsu that they both had cast. He'd be toast if we had the blades with us. Yami chuckled at the thought but returned his focus on forging ahead, he dodged the incoming swipes of two burly bruised kids, he was getting to them with his stick, and he hoped that a third one would appear so he could ensnare them all, allowing Yume to knock the three of them out and hasten their victory.

He continued to dodge and bait the third one until he finally got his wish granted, he channeled chakra through his system in order to produce the incoming jutsu, Yume was none the wiser and continued to fight the young ones with the help of the mind bent tough kid. Shit, they won't let up, I wonder how much more they got in store? Wait... Is Yami using another jutsu? So soon? The white-haired kid looked over at his shadowy brother and got sucker punched as a hard lesson not to look away from the battle. "Ooft, that had to hurt!" Yami chuckled as he continued to bait the goons until he finally reached the point where he had channeled enough chakra.

The shadowy brother dipped down to 2-dimensions and slithered his way toward his foes, he split up into three tentacles that wrapped themselves around the bully's ankles, his intense strength compensated for his slow speed, he began to yank them towards a counterpoint where he could wrap himself around them and hold them all in place. "Now Yume, take them out while you got the chance."

Yume stumbled back, rolled then ran in the air towards the wrapped kids in a crescent shape, with one solid swipe he managed to knock all three of them out, he landed with another roll and then kicked his hair back. "Bro, I am running out of steam!" Yume panicked, he tried his best to look cool but he was drenched in his own sweat and began to bleed from different wounds he had accumulated during the long brawl. "Don't worry, the sun is about to set and they are pretty much gassed up." Yami continued to chuckle facing the slope with contempt. "Come on, y'all still have a fighting chance, you heard him, he is pretty much gassed up." Another chuckle followed.

The twins looked at each other and figured that they both had about one more jutsu in them, if they played their cards right then perhaps they could sneak in another before they would have to either fake their way through the rest or depend on pure taijutsu and luck. A sigh was shared between them before Yami chuckled, they rushed down their respective foe and began to savagely beat them down with their sticks, doing their best to dodge their punches and counter-attack as best as possible.

Yume's idea would be the one that would be executed first, he would channel chakra through his eyes then look over at an incoming foe and cast another doujutsu, this one would probably be the last one for the night as his eyes started to hurt from overuse, as he closed his eyes, his ghost apparition would invade the boys mind and through force connect their minds. "Yo, what is going on?" Yume chuckled as he leaped back away from the fight. "I have successfully linked our minds to one, now, if you don't want me to annoy you with this sound *Proceeds to create the most annoying sound in the world for 5 seconds straight* Then I would suggest giving up." Yume chuckled as he blocked an incoming strike, he could tell by the mind-linked individual that he was ready to leave.

Alright, you will never see me again! The boy screamed as he ran down the hill. Yami looked on with a surprised grin, for everything Yume learned so did he, he just didn't rely on it just yet, he wanted his brother to truly master it first then he could just swoop in and copy everything, same as with the shadow jutsu. Yami bounced off a goon and stepped on a smaller kid before he flipped over to the top of the hill, a great grin was shared with them all but was soon turned upside down as he spotted his brother struggling on the sand and against his foes.

Yami rubbed his chin as he began to ponder, perhaps he could hitch a ride with him? That way he could escape whenever he needed, what would be even better would be if he could do it on his own so that the two of them could split up.

[Yume; The Incredible!]
B-Rank Warp Doujutsu
Prerequisite: Musou, [Musou • Invading Thoughts]
After forming a set of hand seals or channeling chakra, Yume concentrates his chakra on his eyes, once ready they will twirl, if they see the apparition move toward the main target will be caught in the Genjutsu. The targets will feel and see two massive replicas of Yume's eyes hover above him, his aura causes shockwaves as he moves about, this genjutsu causes foes to be deterred from attacking, the main target will suffer the internal battle of having to deal with their thoughts fighting agains them., this can cause them to be more willing to spill the beans. This Genjutsu lasts for 4 posts.

Gotcha!
B-rank Ninjutsu
Yume or Yami will perform a sequence of hand seals and will hold the final seal, they will send out Yami as flat 2-dimensional shadow tentacles across any surface toward the targets at a speed equal to the users [Control] = [Speed] up to 60 meters, aiming to grab the targets ankles, they will then manipulate multiple targets (up to three targets) these three targets' will pull towards one another, dragging the targets and their ankles to one another until the shadows are touching, they will then be held in place as Yami wraps himself around them and won’t be able to move a muscle, they are bound with a strength of the users [Control]. Lasts for 5 posts.

[Musou • Sharing is Caring!]
C-Rank Doujutsu
Prerequisite: Musou
After forming a set of hand seals or channeling chakra, Yume concentrates his chakra on his eyes, once ready they will twirl, which will send out a portion of their consciousness with a speed of [Control] and a range of 30 meters. If this makes contact, Yume can read the target's conscious thoughts. While typically this technique can only be used to learn the target's current thoughts, when used in conjunction with [I'm in Your Head!], this technique can serve as a valuable interrogation method. Only works if the target has less Will Power than the user's Control. Lasts for 5 posts, eliciting a -3 Will Power for the duration.

Yami snapped his fingers as he figured out a perfect jutsu for Yume to use, one that could get him out of sticky situations, one that he always relied on. "I got you bro!" Yami began forming a set of hand seals but he could tell from Yume's facial appearance that casting a jutsu right now would probably just gass him out, so he needed to find the right moment to cast it. "Save up some chakra, I have a new spell idea for you!!" Yami chuckled as he finished the set of hand seals.

Yume, none the wiser, continued to fight on ahead, he was nearing the base of the hill, not exactly what he planned, for if they managed to reach the top and knock Yami off then they lost, and using unnecessary energy to either run up the sands or the air was an exhausting thought on its own. A sigh was released as he continued to fight the kids. "You know, It's not that serious!" Yume was sweating bullets, his arms were tired and started to feel heavy, his legs were slowly starting to cramp up yet the five kids refused to give in.

His turned ally had been knocked out once they realized that there was no saving him, leaving them to deal with 5 kids in total, two of them were making their way up to Yami, while the rest of them swarmed Yume. This was a fight the two of them would remember, one that Hozok would definitely bring up, no matter if they won or lost, for he was not expecting it to be this wild, and neither did the kids, he expected. I wonder what they said to trigger this insane brawl. Hozok chuckled as he continued to watch their movements, he studied the kids and took notes to see if they might be ready for the next step of their education ladder.

Yume blocked a lucky 3 combo punch coming from the 3 kids before his body was forcefully turned into 2 dimensions... What the? Oh! Well! Let's go then! Yume chuckled as he began to climb up the sandy hill, he zipped past the kids who struggled to climb now that they were beaten black and blue. Once he reached the top he would revert back to 3 dimensions to serve what little chakra he had left. "Nice jutsu bro...", "You know it."

"I've got little chakra left, we should probably try to reserve it."

"Or sneak in some fuuinjutsu training just because, and get it over with. These chumps stand no chance."

"Are you sure now's the time?" Yume wined.

"When will you find a better time?"

"No, I say we finish what we started and go for the doujutsu." Yume pushed himself to stand up.

"Sounds alright by me, this time I'll help." Yami chuckled as he too opened his doujutsu, revealing his bright yellow eyes that hid behind his dark hair, his wicked grin was still showing as he rushed the incoming target, his mind was focused on what jutsu he could conjure up, while Yume was busy preoccupying the second foe, he had already figured out which jutsu he would cast, he had done so when he cast the invasion of thought upgrade, he wanted to create a link between him and his allies in order to work better in the field.

This one would be many of the various upgrades he would create, hopefully, he wouldn't have to look everyone in the eyes in the future and could perhaps use his projection to touch the ones he wanted to communicate with. Yes, that would be a wonderful idea, but for now, he had to focus on just creating one that could connect with his twin, so he did. He focused on creating a mental link between himself and his brother, and once he felt that he had channeled enough chakra he would look at him and send his ethereal projection after him, he watched how it rushed and entered his brother and within seconds a mental link had been created between them, one that was stronger than their natural one.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" Yume would look over at his brother as he sent the mental commandment, he spotted how his brother reacted to the mental dialogue. "Loud and clear" Yume was pleased that the jutsu worked, this reminded him that he should perhaps work on Sensory defenses in the future if someone were to ever try to cast something similar at them, or perhaps he could have Ziv create something for him? Hmm... He wondered what would work best, although the last bit of the fight was not really the time nor place for these thoughts. "You ready for my jutsu?" Yume shook his head, he was really drained and wasn't sure that his twin really understood how it felt to be this drained. "I'll take that as a yes!"

Yume knocked out his opponent and took a deep breath, he wasn't ready at all for what would come next but with four opponents left and a little reserve left in his tank, the boy felt like a superhero, he felt invincible, that no one could take the hill from him and his brother, so he shouted from the top of his lunges, freaking out two of the assailants and caused them to flee. Leaving only 2 left, Yami was dealing with one and the last one came for Yume who was exhausted to the point of passing out, but he couldn't reveal that to the enemy, no, he had to put on a brave face. "Bring it on!" The young punk spat on the messy sand as he fought the kid head-on.

Yami was almost finished channeling his jutsu when he was interrupted by the frenzied child, he was desperate for the money it seemed, that or perhaps he didn't have them at all and was too ashamed to give in. Yami knew too well the look on the faces of those who were in need, but that wasn't what the whole thing was about anyway, they weren't here to rob them, but to prove to themselves and now Hozok that they were indeed the kings of the hill. Yami blocked the incoming strike and chuckled as he made eye contact with the foe. "I like your energy kid, shame that we were enemies this time." Yami cast his doujutsu which shook the boy to his core, he couldn't move, no matter how hard he tried, which left him open to be struck by Yami, knocking him out cold.

Yami performed a victory twirl with his stick but stopped once he noticed that his brother collapsed from chakra usage, forcing him to run up the last bit of the hill in order to protect him from the final kid. Unbeknownst to him, Yami was fast approaching, with a jump swipe the boy managed to knock the final kid out, he crash-landed next to his brother and chuckled, breathing hard the boys took the time to both enjoy their victory, and the star-filled heaven.

As a final reward, they got to spot a shooting star.

"Make a wish."

"I wish...."



400/400 400/400 400/400

Outa hea!
B-rank Ninjutsu
Yume or Yami will perform a sequence of hand seals and will hold the final seal then turn Yami into a flat 2-dimensional shadow, and move at a speed equal to the user's [Control], this jutsu is great for maneuvering and escaping if the targets' don’t have an equivalent perception technique, they will struggle to see their movement pattern and will be often caught by surprise. This jutsu is also perfect for Yume to latch onto Yami's ever-shifting shadow and follow his erratic movements at [Control] Speed. This jutsu lasts for 5 posts.

[Musou • Do you read me?!]
C-Rank Doujutsu
Prerequisite: Musou
After forming a set of hand seals or channeling chakra, Yume concentrates his chakra on his eyes, once ready they will twirl, which will send out a portion of their consciousness with a speed of [Control] and a range of 30 meters.

Kings of the hill [Lonely Trainings]

Post by Trusted Grader » Thu May 16, 2024 6:04 am

Hozok woke the two boys up at the crack of dawn, he shared a fruity yogurt with coconut cornflakes as their breakfast, it seemed that it was their reward for doing such a good job at defending the hill. "I am proud of you boys for yesterday's work, I do wonder, could you guys perhaps do it again but this time you guys attack the hill and try to take it from the bottom up?" Hozok leaned against the bunker adjacent to theirs, currently it was empty as Hozok had already moved the student yesterday so that he could sleep in their place and wake up before the boys.

"Look man, it was already hard enough defending the top, with one arm nonetheless but to attack from the bottom up and then defend it is madness! There's a reason why we chose to defend rather than attack." Yume leaned back and covered his eyes, Yami on the other hand got up and started eating the delicious bowl of cereal, even though he didn't need to eat, he always chose to as he loved the taste of a good meal.

"I hear you, but if you really want to prove that you are hot stuff then I challenge you to take the hill from the bottom up, I'll pay whatever rewards you will owe the kids and I'll make sure your first two weeks are homework free." Hozok chuckled as he leaned off the cot, he pushed the plate up to Yume's face as he refused to take no for an answer. "Now eat up, you got a big day ahead of you. I'll make sure they regenerate you a little more so you are ready for today's challenge." With that the rasta teacher left the vicinity.

"He's a strange one isn't he?" Yami chuckled as he continued to chow down on the delicious bowl. Yume got intrigued because he hadn't heard his brother eat this frantically in months, so he began to consume the breakfast as well, each spoon elevated him closer to the heavens until he heard the iconic metallic clink, he had finally consumed the entire thing, leaving him with nothing but contempt and a semi satisfied stomach.

Yume stretched and tried to feel his broken arm a little bit before he looked over at his brother and nodded. "I guess we don't have a choice in the matter...", "I guess we don't" Yami chuckled. "This time we bring Slither along." "But we attack with the blunt side." Yume nodded to approve the message, they reached out for Slither to worm their way to their hands, and off they went.

They only stopped once they reached the hill, this time Yume wore a white tee instead of his shirt, and his taped nose and general scruffy appearance did nothing to intimidate the newly gathered kids, although Slither combined with his brother did alter the situation a bit. Yami grinned as his green slither rested on his opposite shoulder, he appeared rather pristine as he was based around chakra and not flesh like his mortal brother.

"I dare you guys that we can take the hill even if you guys defend it."

"Aw man, we are not falling for that again, last time y'all kicked our asses and used magic and shit." The foul-mouthed kid complained.

"Yeah but this time y'all get the high ground."

"And...?"

"100 ryo... Each." They watched as the kids murmured, the twins leaned in the agree that they could only go as high as 150 and seemed to a green the same time the kids did.

"150!" On the dot.

"135!"

"145!"

"130!"

The kid panicked, talked to his boys then returned with an answer. "140!"

"Yeah, let's say 125, it's better than nothing! What do you say?" Yume looked over at his twin. "125 sounds about right."

After careful consideration, the gang of kids agreed that 125 was better than nothing."Fine! 125! But we tell you when to start!"

"Finebyus" The duo chuckled as they began to stretch, the fight ahead was going to be much harder than the day before so they had to keep their game sharp if they wanted to overtake the odds. Feeling themselves a little bit, the duo stopped stretching once they noticed how many kids were starting to gather, it started with five then gradually counted up to ten and finally stopped at twenty.

"Yo, twenty is a bit much don't you think?" Yume looked over at his brother who in turn looked over at Hozok. "Yeah, twenty seems a bit much, do we get some back up or something?" Hozok shrugged before he formed a set of a hand seals and spawned two adolescent versions of himself, one with the snug cut afro with the fade on the side and the other with a manic rasta like himself.

"Y'all got Ray and Yar as back up, they won't be able to take much damage but they are strong. So I guess they will work as defence, as offence they'd probably tear through them with ease, but be careful, they don't last long." Hozok didn't mention that he could cast more if needed, he just wanted them to think that they were left with the bare minimum to get through the situation.

A sigh was shared between the brothers as they inspected the insurmountable odds, they watched how the kids spread out into three rows, each separated by at least 10 meters, meaning that they would have to defeat them in waves and if they didn't knock them out then they'd have to fight two or more at once from multiple directions. This... Is impossible... Yume couldn't believe what he had gotten himself into, would he really be able to push through this with his brother?

"I guess there's no day like today right?", "Carpe diem or whatever they say in Crescent Coalition." Yami fist bumped his brother before their eyes finally rested on the first row, Level one.

Yume wanted to sigh but had to look cool in front of his brother, so instead he focused on running on the sand for now, he needed to conserve chakra, speaking of, he might as well train his a little for he had gotten better at controlling it but lacked in his pool department, so for now he would let Yami take the wheel when it came to casting jutsu. His brother would first transform into a flock of bats that rushed the first seven kids, he would capture three of them, pull them in then knock them out himself while Yume leaped and kicked the closest one in the face, he would make sure to stomp him with his knee to make sure that he was knocked out.

The incoming ones were stopped by Yami, what they thought would be three fighters turned out to be five as two from the level above had joined the fray. So they won't even fight fair huh? Yume knew that they only needed to last a little longer before they could truly let loose, for the race wasn't for them to hold it for a certain hour but instead to just overtake it, which meant if they continued to fight this strategically and that luck was still on their sides then they could possibly see a victory at the end of this long journey.

"Come on bro, don't be afraid to let loose!" Yami slammed his swords broadside on one of the kids heads, sending him flying down the small bit down hill, leaving him knocked out. The kids understood the assignment and were themselves equipped with thick wooden weapons and makeshift shields created by trashcan bins. Who says life has to be easy huh?

"Right, as if we don't have 16... 15 left to deal with."

"Right, It's only 15, besides, who says we have to defeat them all? We just have to make it to the top right?"

"Yeah, and hold it."

"Peace of cake, it'll be easier than to fight all the way up."

"Ey! No cheating! Yami, you are free to do as you please, it's your nature but Yume has to fight his way up!"

"Aw man!" Yume complained as he blocked an incoming parasol, he opted to flip over the second swipe and strike the boy by the side of his temple, his strike wasn't strong enough to knock him out but was still able to daze him. The poor lad had non but a second before Yami swooped in and kicked him out of the frame. "Oh well, see you at the top bro!" Yami chuckled as he turned 2 dimensional, Yume watched how his brother snuck past all the upcoming foes that he would have to deal with, it seems that his brother hid for now or was biding his time which left his white-haired brother to deal with the remaining two. Let's hope that Yami does something at least, or else I will have to deal with all of them myself... Where's the other twins?

Post by Trusted Grader » Thu May 16, 2024 7:07 am

Yume dodged the first swipe and chose to block the second from the other goon, he redirected the strike towards his comrade, a jutsu he put on his memory to train in the future. I am learning from new experience, perhaps this is why Hozok wanted us to tackle the situation again but from another perspective... Wish my arm wasn't broken though, things would've been a lot smoother... For now all he needed to focus on was defeating the first set of enemies so that he could catch his breath and test the second wave, his brother was somewhere and his allies seemed to be.

Just as he thought about them again they appeared, they blocked the two strikes that were coordinated to hit Yume, each carried a wooden two-handed sword and both responded with a roundhouse kick that sent the kids flying hard against the ground, kicking sand in the air that stabbed and caused silence for a brief second, before crowd noise continued. Alright, I am not alone in this. Yume chuckled as he raised his sword and then rested it on his shoulder once more. I wonder what Yami is doing? The white-haired bro spat on the sand as he leaped to attack one of the rising children, he knocked him out and then rolled over to the other.

Yami was counting the foes and inspecting them from below, and once he felt it was safe enough would he return to his brother, for he knew that it was not time to attack the rear just yet as he feared that he would bring the entire brigade after the two of them. Tsck, not yet... I got you brother, hold on. Yami zipped below the enemy until he saw his brother struggle against a kid that was a couple of inches taller than them, Yume was pinned down to the ground and was losing the battle of might, leaving Yami with no other solution other than to kick the kick in the head, using the element of surprise to knock him out as well.

The duo stopped to catch their breath, Yume more than Yami, the shadowy brother helped his brother up and removed the dust from his clothes, only stopping once they spotted that Hozok approached them, he carried two robes in his hands, one white and one black. "This belonged to... Well... I am not allowed to tell you." Hozok peered at Yami and then at the robes before he tossed them at the kids. "Put these on as training, you should be wearing that from now on, at least the vest." He then tossed the vest and helmet.

The twins complied and put on the heavy gear, Yume wanted to complain that it weighed too much, that it was too hot to be wearing this much gear but knew deep down that it was pointless to argue against the mad teacher, it was his way or no way. A smirk was shared between the three before Hozok clapped and the second level was on. Yami turned around and spotted that three were already making their way towards them.

Yume took a deep breath and tried to get accustomed to the new weight, he felt the sand buckle as he shifted around causing him to almost lose balance. This is bad, how am I supposed to be able to fight like this? He watched Yami move about as if he was undisturbed, he snapped back to reality and realized that he didn't have to fight on the sand, nothing stopped him from airwalking. This small revelation caused Yume to chuckle as he proceeded to run in the air, here he got accustomed to the slower pace he was forced to move in order to compensate for the strength loss, but for now, all he had to focus on was to strike down his enemies as best as he could.

"Hello, you hear me?" Yami whispered over the radio that connected the two helmets.

"Whoa, yeah, man, that's so cool."

"Yeah, they smell refreshing too. Hopefully, they won't start smelling like blood and bad breath."

"Come on man, don't go spoil the fun."

"Alright fine, suit yourself, I won't be helping you clean yours."

"Fine!" Yume slammed his sword on the neck of one of the kids and then kicked him in the chest to put him down. "Fine!" Yami snapped at three children once again and yanked them in to knock them out once again, thank God they are around the same age otherwise this whole thing would've been weird.

Hozok continued to inspect and was amazed at how fast the kids were at adapting to fighting with gear, especially one that wasn't tailor-made for them, yet. Hozok continued to snack on his peanuts, Yume and Ziv were the two students that had shown the most potential and it seemed that no matter what faced against them they always persevered.

Yume would beg the differ, see, he and his brother were struggling hard in the armor, doubt crept in his mind as there was still more to come, from what he noticed two from the final echelon climbed down to brawl while four more woke up from the lowest rank. "Our luck doesn't seem to run out today huh?" Yume wanted to give up but knew better than to back down from a good fight.

"And live to fight another day, that's the Avian style, but we know that we are more than house members." Yume knew the rest of the speech, they had shared it in their minds for years, they both knew that there was something special about them and they now had the chance to prove it to the world. He couldn't back down from a fight, not one that was necessary, if things were reversed then he'd avoid it like the plague, perhaps claiming that he got lost. Sheesh.

This was the time, Yami took the chance to slink away and take the top spot, but that meant that he would have to leave Yume up to his own devices for now. Unfortunately for him, he was surrounded rather quickly, his air running wouldn't help him now, so instead he was forced to fight and endure as much as he could while Yami attacked from the high ground, Yume aimed low while his twin aimed high, each strike was shared between them all, Yume taking the brunt of the damage. Fortunately, the chest armor protected him from most of the impact, otherwise they would've stomped the sh- out of Yume.

Yami ran in the air and started striking at their heads while Yume turned into a 2-dimensional shadow and moved to the top, there he reverted back and laughed at his enemies who failed to tear through his armor. "This is the final act! Come and take us down and we shall bow down to you!" Yume got cocky, even though the was now running on fumes, the stomping took a lot out of him, especially after fighting uphill for so long.

7 left... They should be able to take this. Hozok watched how the twins fought four of them, each managed to take down 1 before they aimed a singular target, the twin clones knocked him out before puffing into thin smoke, leaving them with only four enemies left. Now that should leave them with enough juice to deal with them without my help. Let's see you boys get through this. Hozok chuckled as he leaned back in his sun chair.

Yume twirled Slither then rested it on his shoulder, he felt how the armor naturally buckled under the weight of a missing pauldron, wondering if the missing piece also belonged to the previous owner. I should try to find out what pouldron it was, especially if I am going to finish the piece. Yume chuckled, he looked over at Yami and then over at the remaining four. "TwoEach" The brothers agreed and split the enemies up, Yume focused on his Lionheart skills while Yami attempted to sharpen his Avian, so together the duo attacked and danced around the enemy, doing their best not to trigger their weapons as they didn't want to permanently injure the kids.

He struck low first then rounded it with a kick that sent one of them flying downwards, the armor, even though he was starting to get used to it, weighed him down enough for the second enemy to punch him in the gut, sending him crashing down on the hard sand. He sunk further as he began to stop on his chest then his head, forcing Yume to eat dirt, Shit, Yami help! He realized that he had the comms and switched it on. "Yo, a little help here!" Yume managed to grab his foot and hold it still for a couple of seconds, giving his brother ample enough time to kick him in the sides, shoving him away, allowing him to pull his brother up.

"Get your shit together."

"I know..."

Yume shook off the pain he had accumulated during the long fight that he had endured, now he wanted to enact some revenge, but he wanted to be smart about it, he wanted to try out what his brother suggested they would've done yesterday, Fuuinjutsu training. He looked at Yami and grinned as he pointed at the enemies' stomachs. "Let's finish what we should've started yesterday!" The one-armed warrior chuckled as he raised his sword arm, he began to channel chakra through his weapon hand, which would mean that he would inevitably have to cast the sword aside in order to catch his enemy off guard.

He focused on his fingertips just like they taught him in the academy, and in the orphanage, now that his brother was casting the genjutsu he would be able to create an augmented trap that seals them to the genjutsu for as long as the seal is up. This ingenious plan would allow the twins to cast both almost simultaneously and allow them to create true chaos, with time they would be able to perfect their stealth to the point where the target might not even notice that Yami has put the seal on them, the very thought got Yume to laugh.

"Let's go! I'll let you lead the way and I'll try to copy you." Yami formed a set of hand seals and began to cast Shadow Dancer, right as Yume finished channeling enough chakra to his fingers to cast his jutsu. He would first dodge the incoming strike then slam his fist to the stomach of the guy who took note of Yami using Shadow Dancer, cursing him to be influenced by it while the two could totally focus on something else, speaking of.

The white-haired boy started planning ahead, for his brother already knew what would come next, meaning that he would have to prepare, the enemy wouldn't stop just because they managed to sneak some magic into the fight, no, they were still coming for the hill and the money. The twin chuckled as they initiated the second phase of their attack. Instead of appearing like he didn't know what he was doing, he would let the enemy lead the charge and strike at him first so that he could hit him with a normal hit, then trigger the Fuuinjutsu when he least expected it.

Yami would be quick to perform thick shadow to catch the other suspect, the same thing, Yume dodged, struck, channeled, hit their stomach, and cast new fuuinjutsu on the target. Sliding back the young boy sweat as he left two out of three trapped in a loop of genjutsu, giving him a cool new idea. What if he could enter their minds while they were knocked out? Use fuuinjutsu to enter their subconscious and trap them in a loop until they give up the information they want!

Yume thought about how the second fuuinjutsu was built differently from the first one, how he had to focus on relaying the chakra differently as even though they were both illusion techniques, they still targeted different portions of the eyes, one made it move quickly, the other nearly covered their view, so he had to think about it proportionately, fortunately, the kid seemed to be a pro. All that time he had spent with Ziv had truly paid off, the kid was truly a wonder child and today was another day for him to prove that he was unstoppable when he was on his grind.

Yume chuckled but quickly realized that he was on the ground, the enemies didn't stop for anyone and began to gun for him as soon as they could, the one trapped with the shadow dancer was still capable of fighting, while the thick shadows were too scared to move, meaning they had to square off against two enemies. That, coupled with the sands and the fatigue was quickly wearing the boys out, but they believed in themselves, this was the last stretch after all.

A sigh of relief was exhaled, not because they had already won but because he had gotten this far, he was amazed by how much further he could push himself if he just believed. Well, that and a little help of an extra armor didn't stop him and his brother from progressing. He watched how the seals continued to glow, showing that they were indeed working, this left him unsure if he should attempt a stronger genjutsu one or at least finish the D-Rank pyramid for future purposes. "Just pick, it doesn't matter."

Yami was right, sooner or later he would train everything he needed to become number one, Ziv was his only true rival and he would make sure that the three of them could take on anyone who dared to challenge them.Let's... Hope that doesn't happen. Yume didn't want to bark too loud but when it came to it, he could pull out some aces.

With Slither resting on his shoulder, the boy would look over the battlefield and feel some sense of pride, Yami was keeping the last one busy while he reached for his pouch and grabbed an empty scroll, he chuckled for himself as he started channeling chakra through his finger, he thought about what he wanted to inscribe for a moment, taking him back to his fuuinjutsu class in Sky-Reach where he had to master the art of creating explosive seals, a craft he had yet to master, so he figured why not give it a shot while he was on the plus.

His finger started doodling the outlines before he slowly filled in the rest of the paper, creating a powerful explosive seal that triumphed his regular ones. A smile was spread across the masked boy's face as he looked up at his twin brother, he brandished the seal then tagged it to a kunai, he tossed it up in the air and caused a massive explosion to scare the final fighter into locking in a freezing motion, allowing Yami to pummel him, he was only able to wear him down until the point where his body unfroze and began to defend itself.

Yami and Yume understood what this new jutsu meant for their arsenal, they were now able to create explosives on the road, perhaps they would be able to create them with their weapons in the future, but that would mean another jutsu for them to learn. Alas, now they just had to focus on the last fighter among them, with little juice left, the boy wondered if he would manage to cast another technique or if he should just focus on knocking him out and get the fight over with, Yume wondered what he should do, for going back wasn't exactly an option now that he was winning and going for a final flash could spell the end for him, but he would miss out on the coolness factor.

Although isn't it cool enough that I can kick all of their asses? Yume chuckled to himself as he thought about the journey up, how he and his twin brother must have impressed Hozok with their insane combat stunts. The teacher was still inspecting and was quite indeed impressed, his mind was still focused on the last kid that was standing, for he could still turn the tide if they weren't careful. Yami, the ever-fighting brother was still keeping him busy, both of the kids were running out of steam as Yume slowly reeled his chakra vault to a close, if left unchecked his brother would consume all his chakra without second thought.

Yume instead allowed the shadow to creep back to connect with his, allowing the last kid to bolt after Yume, who desperately tried to reserve the last of his stamina. He prepared to counter-strike the kid as a final huzzah before the fight would finally end, so there he was, feet planted apart, eyes piercing out of the helmet, sword at arms, and left hand open to counter-grab. Like a beautiful dance, the boy evaded the first punch, jumped, and pushed off the air to kick him in the back, followed by a swipe at the back of his head that knocked him out cold.

His limp body slammed into the sands as Yume landed on the sinking sandy hill, Hozok cheered once the final one fell, causing Yume to place the sword on his shoulder and gloat at his victory. "What else did you expect? Of course, I would win." The boy turned around to face the hill and all the laid-out kids, the boy was struggling to catch his breath and was sweating profusely. Causing him to have a minor heatstroke and pass out, Hozok managed to react and reach Yume before his body hit the ground.

"I got you, little man."

Yume woke up yet again in the bunker bed, Hozok had move him and his brother once they had passed out and made sure that they made it home safely. Yami was already up and checking on his brother who seemed the worst for wear, the armor he had been given was now leaning against the bunk bead Hozok was sleeping on, he wondered who it belonged to and how come he had earned the right to wear it, considering he never finished his Immunis Enforcer education. They keep treating me as if I'm some sort of royalty, I don't understand what's going on. Yume still had to endure a lot of training to get where he was but still...

His eyes landed on the helmet, then on his brother who was dangling upside down on his bed, due to him being a shadow he could afford to move about without creating noise, I need to train my stealth moves as well. I am a lion after all. Yume snickered, he pointed at the helmet and then at his brother, he then began to channel chakra to his fingers as he recalled back to his class, Hozok was, funnily enough, the teacher that taught them how to form a radio frequency seal that would create a link between a pool of people, this would allow teammates to be able to communicate undisturbed, it seems that the S.O.F mercenaries had their own way of sharing communications, leaving most out of their network.

Yume touched the base of his neck, then his brothers to create a link between them, Sup bro, look, if we sneak the helmet and armor, aka, you, then we could perhaps leave before he forces us back to the hill. What say you? Yume grinned and elevated his eyebrows. I say we don't do that. Because I am pretty sure you will get in trouble, aka, we. Yami nodded no and returned to his bed. Besides, I want that sweet breakfast again, that was sooo delicious. Yami was right, but at the same time so was Yume, if they didn't try to escape then they would probably be forced to fight, but the difference was, could they possibly be able to choose their own breakfast?

What if we went and found something better? Yume giggled. What do you mean better? Yami retorted. Something better to eat. Yume slowly leaned over to look up at his brother. You had me at eat. Yami looked down, he nodded once his thought was shared. Yami turned to 2-dimensional while Yume did his best to sneak out of his bunk bed and move past Hozok and the rest, luckily the teacher was snoring which helped kill the squeaking created by the old hardwood they were forced to walk on.

Seems that Hozok really feels safe when Nehan and the samurai are around huh? They had been camping, back then Hozok did not sleep this heavily, so he could only deduce that he truly felt safe around these parts. Yume wanted to laugh but he fought the urge and focused on creeping out, Yami grabbed the gear and pushed it down to 2 dimensions as well in order to remove any unnecessary scrambling noises. Their ingenious plan seemed to be working, causing the duo to almost want to celebrate, Yume chose instead to shapeshift into a shadow as well, and together they escaped the hotel.

On their way towards a 24/7 kebab shop, the duo started playing around with different jutsu ideas they could be training while no one would take notice of the pranksters. Yume figured out a technique that would link people together, he wanted to use it to scramble their thoughts while Yami took the opportunity to steal some fruits, I mean, what else was there to do while they waited for their morning kebabs to be cooked, Yume ordered chicken while Yami chose beef.

Yume finished forming the set of hand seals then closed his eyes and focused on his mind, he then looked around and sent out projections to connect the different minds while Yami snuck around as a small cat. Their timing were impeccable but there was still work that could be done to perfect it, but that was a matter for another time, for now he was busy linking the different minds sending them confusing thoughts and voices that they weren't ready to hear. Yume caused a massive traffic stop which gave Yami enough time to sneak enough fruits to create a small basket, luckily by the time the kebabs were ready the cat was long gone from the stores and Yume could release the poor citizens.

Sorry.

No need to apologise to them, apologise to the store owner. Yami cackled.

I'll pay him back one day.

Knowing you? You'll probably overdo it.

Yami continued to prowl the streets until he saw a soft sheet that was used as a makeshift door for a vendor, this was to be used for his next prank, he began to channel chakra to his paw and then inscribed the seals on the cloth, he managed to do it in peace and even before a customer managed to attempt to enter the store. He activated the seal right as he tried to walk through it, causing him to crash into the sheet, this, in turn, made the cat boy laugh and stumble backward, he continued to inspect as the customer tried his best to get through the sheet until Yami thought he had suffered enough and let him pass through. Fuuinjutsu was rather easy especially since he didn't need to think that hard about what he wanted to be inscribed, it came naturally to him when it wasn't enforced.

Yami thought about the jutsu he had just created, how it strengthened and stiffened the material, just like Hozok had taught them in class, the difference was that they didn't have to perform in front of a teacher, or so they thought. Hozok was inspecting them both from a distance and was both pleased by their results but also appalled that they would use their powers for such devious pranks, though he wasn't surprised. The teacher continued to inspect the children and how they pranked they bystanders with their doujutsu and shadow powers, well, fuuinjutsu more like but still, assisted by shadow capabilities. Hozok counted on his fingers how many new craft jutsu they had managed to pick up the last few days and wondered if they truly belonged in the fifth grade, from what he heard from the other teachers, Ziv was progressing at the same pace.

Hozok stopped looking at his hands, his eyes turned to look back at Yami who was peering back at him, his eyes were glowing yellow and even managed to twirl, casting some sort of jutsu that altered his emotions to trust Yami, especially when they held eye contact. Genjutsu? Hozok was unsure, why would they try to cast genjutsu on him when they knew he was their master in the subject. Perhaps mixed with ninjutsu to make it harder for the target to know they are being manipulated. Hozok couldn't help but to feel some sort of trust build between the two as they shared eye contact, causing him to lose eye sight of Yume, who appeared out of the shadows with a glowing hand. His first swipe missed but his kick landed, which caused Hozok to rethink his counter-strike and allow Yume to land his jutsu.

"Hah! Gotcha!"

The fuuinjutsu would reveal itself on his right arm and bind him to the doujutsu cast by Yami, what he didn't prepare for was the kick that punted him away, sending him flying back rolling into a pile of trashcans. Yami rushed up to his brother and grabbed him by the neck, he checked his vitals to see if he was still alive after such a kick, Hozok seemed rather calm about the whole situation while Yami was unsure the boy could take so much beating three days in a row. What the shadowy brother didn't know was that the white-haired kid was wearing the chest armor underneath his robes.

*Augment Fuuinjutsu • Link
C-Rank Fuuinjutsu
By performing the necessary hand seals, the user will then touch their target’s ear and on the lips, this creates an audio link between themselves and any targets they personally place this seal combination on. While hearing is always active, channeling chakra into the seal allows affected targets to speak, their words being stored and transmitted to the other seals. The act of speaking charges negligent chakra.

[Musou • Radiohead!]
B-Rank Doujutsu
Prerequisite: Musou
After forming a set of hand seals or channeling chakra, Yume concentrates his chakra on his eyes, once ready they will twirl, which will send out a portion of their consciousness and transmit messages to people of their choosing within [Control]*2 meters radius one way for 4 posts to a number of people equal to their [Will Power].

*Augment Fuuinjutsu • Strengthen and Enhance
C-Rank Fuuinjutsu
After drawing the necessary seals on the object, the user will imbue the object with a strength equal to their [Control]. The size of this fuuinjutsu is contextual in terms of the object it is applied to and the strength it is enhanced to. For example, if imbued with 50 strength the object will have 90% of its surface space covered, while if only imbued with 25 strength roughly under half of its surface space would be taken up by the seal.

[Augment Fuuinjutsu • Eyes that Spies!]
C-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Prerequisite: [Genjtusu: Trust!]
After the Yume activates his Doujutsu, he performs the [Genjtusu: Trust!] and momentarily holds onto his target. As he channels the genjutsu, he begins to inscribe a 2x2in seal. So long it is active, the technique is bound by the seal and linked to his Doujutsu. Allowing him to detect activities within the limited range of 30 meters.

Hozok watched his arm and chuckled as he soon realized what had just happened, he deduced that the seal locked the genjutsu in place until it was dealt with. "I would suggest putting the seal on something other than the person who is cursed with the genjutsu moving forward." Hozok let the genjutsu remain as he continued to dodge the incoming swipes from Yami, he was always harder to deal with because he could shift in shapes and sizes which always forced Hozok to be on his toes, see, he wasn't the fastest guy around, especially not now after years of hiatus.

Every time he looked over at Yume he felt this strange urge to trust in him, that everything with him would be alright, which he counted as part of the genjutsu he had been placed under. Interesting choice, I wonder why he would do... Oh... I already told him about how to best utilize his fuuinjutsu. Smart kid. Hozok chuckled as he stopped sliding.

A sigh was shared by the teacher as he grabbed Yami's arm and lifted him in the air. "You can't always rely on your brother to do most of your work Yume, you have to do your own lifting." Hozok watched the white-haired boy pull himself off the ground, dust the dirt off his clothes, and toss the banana peel off his shoulder. "You're right, although I know I can't defeat you, I can at least put a dent in your smile for terrorizing me for the last 2 days." Yume chuckled as he revealed his open right arm, within seconds Slither would manifest itself from the shadows up to reveal his beloved gunblade that was quickly resting on his shoulder.

"But make no mistake, it won't just be I who come after you. We all will." Yume watched as kids came out of the woodworks, the very same kids they had tackled the last days, the shadowy brother had gone around and told them that Hozok had been the one paying for them to fight, he even found out that Hozok had put the kids under a spell the second day in order to force them to combat the twins. "Your actions have consequences teacher, let's see if you can get yourself out of this mess without harming the kids." Yume chuckled as he too rushed in to strike the teacher.

Hozok looked around and almost let panic set in before the clock stopped ticking and he began to chuckle, he tossed Yami toward one of the incoming kids but watched how he shapeshifted into a flock of birds that avoided the incoming swarm of kids. "Not bad, not bad at all!" Yume couldn't help but agree as he landed with a downward slash, once he noticed that he missed he would twirl the weapon as Ishizuka had taught him and then go for his neck, knowing that he would never be able to catch his teacher with his weapon he instead opted to use the momentum to reveal a hidden third attack in the form of a kick that sent Yume flying backward and flinch the teacher for a mili second, he would try to reach out to grab Yume but his brother would leap up behind him and splash over his back as he turned 2D.

Hozok knew that this was bad as it could only mean that the shadowy brother was going to attempt to capture him, if Yume assisted then Hozok would be cooked, so he advised a plan and formed a quick set of hand seals, casting a genjutsu that put Yami to sleep for now as he rushed his woke brother. Yume wasn't out of tricks though, he stopped to juke his teacher as he finished his channeling right as he reached him, (Yume was fortunate enough that his teacher reeled back his attacks and speed to accommodate for a more fair match-up), and cast his own shadow jutsu that allowed him to slip under his teacher and grab his sleeping brother, he needed to relocate and wake him up for the fight was now truly on.

Alright, we got this, as long as we can continuously tag him we should be alright. Yume knew that there was no point in escaping, they would have to return sooner or later, and there was no shot that they could outright defeat him, but if they could continuously press him then perhaps he would finally leave them alone? It was a weird thought pattern but one he hoped would work. "You good hermano?" Yume slapped Yami, giving him a rude awakening but a very much-needed one, once he got his bearings he would nod and revert to 3D and face the teacher.

"Aiit, how about round two then?" The drowsy teenager began to stretch in front of Hozok and grin, he knew he truly didn't stand a chance but he needed to project that they were indeed a capable bunch. Hozok inspected their combined effort as of far and couldn't help but feel somewhat proud of their endeavors, they had managed to both hold and take the hill and even managed to convince the kids to come after him as well, they truly were the kings of the hill. "Can't say I am nothing if not proud of you boys."

Yume wondered if this was some sort of psychological warfare for who would say such a thing during a tense situation, Yami confronting Hozok gave leeway for Yume to attempt a sneak attack from behind, unfortunately, the teacher managed to counter both of the children, but sending them flying in different directions of the dirty alleyway. "Impeccible timing, I just wish you guys were a bit faster, that's the department you haven't upgraded yet. I guess the broken arm has slowed your training huh?" Hash coming from a teacher who basically made the arm never heal due to him pushing him to the edge. Hozok chuckled as he took a step back and inspected the whole situation.

"You know, I wasn't expecting to be doing this much exercise when they told us we were going to Aroma Country for a small school vacation, so I have to thank you, boys, for being such troubleheads that you are that I continuously have to clean up after you." Hozok bowed, this had to be a diss, this couldn't be a compliment, could it?

The boys pondered on their response for a second as they both watched their respective weapons, they reached out and grabbed them as they turned around to face Hozok, each watching him from the opposite direction to get him perfectly centered for what would come next. If we can at least tag him once with a powerful strike then maybe he can let us off the hook, I don't think Genjutsu will work on him, he seems crazy enough to be able to handle the most... Perhaps a good explosion to the cranium can fix whatever problems he has. Yume chuckled as groaned in pain with each move.

"That is some underhanded compliment bullshit." "Right right, mad bull, but we are still happy to get your old ass moving again." Said the twins as they both slowly rose from the ground, the fight was far from over but the juice was slowly running out. Yume needed to become stronger, he knew that from every time he took a beating, from every instance he had to stand up from the weak, every time he had to fight when he was called, so here he was, standing tall against his teacher who had spent the last few days teaching him a lesson, preparing him for some test that was seemingly around the corner. "Now let's see what you are really made of!" Yume and his brother rushed Hozok, both leaped in the air and triggered their explosive at the same time.

White light covered the alleyway before the blast cleared any debris, once the dust settled only Hozok remained standing as Yume was knocked out cold, Yami being his perfect copy reverted back to his shadow leaving the teacher only one option left, that was to laugh at the situation. "I guess three days was a bit much for the kid, he did well though." Hozok dusted off his shoulders and picked the boy up, he carried him over his right shoulder as he began to trek down the alleyway. He greeted the people who were peering at the fight and explained that he was his student, that this was just a class session they had where he was prepping him for his exam, then married on his way towards the hotel.

Yume deserved his rest, for the test was fast approaching, once it started his life would alter from there on in ways he couldn't imagine yet.

Outa hea!
B-rank Ninjutsu
Yume or Yami will perform a sequence of hand seals and will hold the final seal then turn Yami into a flat 2-dimensional shadow, and move at a speed equal to the user's [Control], this jutsu is great for maneuvering and escaping if the targets' don’t have an equivalent perception technique, they will struggle to see their movement pattern and will be often caught by surprise.

This jutsu lasts for 6 posts.

Gotcha!

This was the last of the stretch, Yume knew as much, he needed to train some more even though his body craved that he rested, his mind thought otherwise, so at the crack of dawn the boy was up and doing one-handed push-ups, and alternated to one-handed pull-ups, although these ones were far harder than he taught, but no matter, the boy continued to push himself. Once he felt that his body couldn't perform anymore he would switch it up to jogging, which left him with no other choice but to run outside. Rain or shine, and unfortunately it looked like it was going to rain, so said the dark clouds above and the moisture in the air. There's going to be lighting as well, might as well leave Slither and the armor home. I'll keep the robe though.

Yume leapt out of the window and left his shadow to sleep, rain soon started puttering down as the boy trained, almost as if he was cursed or something. A chuckle crackled the boy's coughing voice until he finally managed to catch his breath and steady his pace. Remember, it's not a race, it's a marathon. Life was, or so they said during classes, they tried to make sure that Avians knew that life was precious and that one shouldn't attempt to rush through it, otherwise one could easily miss valuable life lessons, so far he felt that the only lessons he had learned was that he seemed to always find himself in the center of trouble, what was he supposed to extract from that?

What valuable life lessons could he truly learn? Perhaps he needed to pace himself? Like his jogging? He accidentally had upped his speed due to him finding further questions to ask himself. He wasn't inspecting the world around him, nor was he picking up that a storm was slowly brewing. Yume continued to ponder the life lessons that he might have missed along the way as he continued to push against the winds that pushed and pulled at the thinking boy.

Are there any life lessons in the different orphanages I was forced to live in? The different countries and friends I will perhaps never see again? Are they even alive? Is that important? Shouldn't it be? So many questions yet so few answers, Who are my parents? Who am I? Is that even important? Shouldn't it be? Yume wanted to tear up but the pesky winds were continuously pummelling him, causing him to drift out of his thoughts and back to the world around him. "Hey can you knock it—" A loud thunderclap shook the boy, it hit the tree behind him and revealed to him the storm he was currently standing in.

Had it not been for Hozok stalking the boy then he'd probably be hit by the falling tree and get pinned down, help wouldn't arrive for a long time and who knows, perhaps that would've been the tragic end of the brave young hero, perhaps... How many times has he saved my life now? I am starting to lose track of it. He was sure that Hozok was as well.

Yume woke up back in the hotel, he hadn't truly passed out but due to Hozok holding the hood over his head as he ran about the boy accidentally passed out from all the commotion. His body was sore and ached, meaning he did get some training, bizarre as it was. "I am impressed, but... Try not to train while a storm is brewing next time." Yume agreed, even though it wasn't the toughest storm out there, the teacher was right, it was risky, but no pain no gain right?
