1 The Seventh Blade [Private|No Kill|Training] Tue Dec 03, 2013 12:55 am
Yuudai
D-rank
It was odd, to say the least. After so many years of practice, of learning the fundamentals of one set of skills, here he was standing in the middle of one of the many training grounds present to Kirigakure no Sato, knowing that his current knowledge in the field was lacking when it came to original weapons. Weapons that couldn’t be classified under the one tree he was successfully proficient at. Standing, in the center of the one area he had stood countless times before, partaking in rigorous training to master his skills. He had practiced his skills, honed them, and was almost at the level of perfection, but now was the time to branch out; to two different areas in fact, with the events surrounding Kirigakure no Sato, there was no time for an individual to hold back, to give up and to concede to their enemy. The issuing of the Seven Swords, the search for the correct swordsmen, and thus place him in his current situation. Serpents Tongue, the name of the weapon he had recently been bestowed in the center of the village by the Mizukage herself, now rested in the grip of his right hand, remaining in it’s gladius-esque form, a form that truly looked harmless.
He needed this, thus he had come to this one area, in one of the few times that time allotted them given the situation present around the village. Yuudai was now in possession of three different weapons, each having a specific purpose. The first held sentimental value, his katana he had kept since his genin days, the very same weapon which he had managed to keep in one piece and sharp over the years. The second was Setsura, the katana he been presented upon being named head of the clan. While he did enjoy the gift itself, the title bestowed to him was not his, thus it would eventually passover. Setsura had also been reforged and enchanted, made to be strong, faster, and more deadly, along with an ability on its own. And finally, there was Serpents Tongue. The one weapon he had only the slightest clues about, though the most troubling aspect of the weapon would be its ability and the uniqueness of the weapon itself. It was due to Yuudai’s understanding that he came to the conclusion he had come to upon receiving said weapon.
There was only one person in Kirigakure no Sato who knew more about weapons than anyone else. This same person would be the one who could be of great assistance to the Aisu. After all, one didn’t get anywhere just by themselves alone. No matter how large, there were always individuals who played a key role in shaping other people, and thus today he knew that he would be forever grateful to the man who would assist him with the newest piece of weaponry in Aisu Yuudai’s arsenal; one which couldn’t even compare to his will-be teacher.
Walking over to a tree stump which usually hoisted a target dummy, today the dummy was absent, leaving Yuudai to freely place his two sheathed weapons upon the top of the stump. With both Setsura and his normal katana being lightly placed on the surface, Yuudai’s sole attention returned to the unique blade that was in his grasp. It’d take time, practice, and even more time for him to even begin to get comfortable with such a weapon, but who knew how quickly he’d adapt once he got started, or how much difficult would there be poised with the 7th sword. It was bound to pose some difficult, the amount was currently immeasurable until his instructor would arrive. The same individual who was once in his genin squad was now going to be teaching him the craft behind a weapon Yuudai had little experience with.
He had already sent a messenger prior to his departure from his home to the training grounds he currently stood in. His trip home had served one purpose alone, and that was just to gather any necessities before he had chosen to leave once again, with the mindset of meeting Kaguza for the first time in quiet a long time. If anything, Yuudai wouldn’t have to wait too long for himself to come face to face with Kaguza, the weapon’s expert of the Village Hidden in the Mist.
