Tsugime was slowing. The boy managed to leap out of the way of her strike, his face scrunching up in obvious pain as he rolled backwards, letting out a gasp of pain, surprise writ large across the boy’s face. There was nothing for her to say; he had done a much better job then, utilizing the techniques at his disposal to try and create an opening in her defenses. Had she been a fellow Academy Student, or even a Genin, that trick might have actually worked, allowing him to get a hit in where he otherwise wouldn’t have. But she was a Jounin, a damn good one at that, and this training was about building the Yuki boy’s strength up, not his ego. "Better, but still a bit too forward. Use your angles. Make one, if you have to." The pink-haired woman said, holding her bokken level with the ground as the boy caught his breath, sweat covering his brow despite how little they’d actually done. Just a little more now, surely, and he’d have to stop. So the Jounin moved with her student, stepping into the line of fire of his wooden shuriken, bokken flicking once, twice, three times in rapid succession, utilizing the Mirror Blade technique to launch them around in a curving arc that would have them slam into Tsugime’s back as he drew in close, swinging a rubber kunai for her midsection once more. Sora didn’t bother blocking the boy’s strike- instead, she simply kept moving, avoiding his swipe by what would look like the slimmest of margins, allowing him to get tantalizingly close before she slid out of the way, staying on the retreat, forcing her student to keep moving, keep fighting against the weights on his wrists and ankles in order to keep up. Just a little more.Yuki TsugimeJutsu/SA's/Equipment UsedJutsu: NAME: Kagami Yaiba [Mirror Blade] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: - HANDSEALS: 0 DESCRIPTION: Despite the name of this technique, it can be used with most weapons, although it’s difficulty mastering it means it requires a skilled user of such a weapon. Thus a swordsman would not automatically be able to perform this technique with a club. A relatively straightforward technique, it is nevertheless very effective against incoming shuriken. The user guards against an incoming shuriken with his or her weapon. However, rather than simply deflecting it, the user hits the shuriken from such an angle that it is sent back towards the enemy. Skilled users of this technique can even reflect kunai towards moving opponents by calculating their movement pattern (Chuunin+), or even reflect a shuriken while adding a curve to it (Special Jounin+). One use of this technique can send back up to three shuriken for a Genin, five for a Chuunin, eight for a Special Jounin and ten for Jounin and higher. Special Abilities: The Kunoichi That Goes On And On And On… [Endurance SA] Perhaps part of her genetics or simply a random quirk of fate, Sora is unnaturally resilient, be it to physical pain or the toils of extended combat. While most Shinobi would collapse in exhaustion at having used all but the smallest sliver of their chakra reserves, she pushes on; while most Shinobi would wilt beneath the weight of sleepless night after sleepless night, she keeps going. This does not mean she does not feel pain/the strain of extended combat, but rather that her threshold for shutting down because of it is far higher than others. To give an example, if she were to be stabbed through her abdomen, she would still feel the pain of the injury, and it would hinder her ability to move/act, but it wouldn’t stop her, whereas a normal ninja might freeze up or shut down from the pain.
Bet You Didn’t See That Coming [Speed SA] A byproduct of her enhanced endurance, Sora (despite what many would think) dislikes being injured- and with that dislike comes the intense desire to avoid getting hurt, a desire that has pushed her to hone her body until it could move faster than most others of her rank. In short, Sora is fast- very, very fast.
POWAH! UNLIMITED POWAH!! [Chakra Reserves SA] After a lifetime of utilizing nearly every ounce of chakra in her body just to survive, Sora’s chakra reserves have expanded a considerable amount to compensate- while she’s no Jinchuuriki, her ability to toss out jutsu after jutsu and still have enough chakra to keep going is quite remarkable, a testament to just how much of the stuff she actually has.
I Am Not Left-Handed [Kenjutsu Mastery SA] Sora is not merely a Kenjutsu specialist- she is a master when it comes to the art of the sword; after over two decades of training, her skills are unrivaled within Kirigakure, falling short only to the Seven Swordsman themselves… some of them, anyway. This mastery allows her a distinct advantage when fighting other Bukijutsu specialists of similar or lesser rank.
If You Try For Speed, You Do Not Achieve Speed [Bukijutsu Speed SA] Beyond being a master of Kenjutsu, Sora has practiced for decades to become the faster swordswoman she can be. As such, her Kenjutsu techniques come out faster and move quicker than those performed by others of her rank.
Equipment: Samidare | Spring Rain Blade (Drawn) SA’s Unbreakable Whatever metal and forging process was used in the creation of Samidare, it worked; Samidare is utterly unbreakable by most any means, capable of being engulfed in an S-Rank Jutsu and remaining unscathed. Though it is possible that the blade could potentially be broken by a sufficiently powerful attack (such as, say, a Bijuu-dama), this has never been tested, so it is not known if it would survive.
Sharper Than Your Average Blade Due to its nature as an unbreakable blade, Samidare bears a cutting edge that is of particular note, which allows it to slice through even steel with little in the way of resistance, so long as the proper force is applied. Additionally, this edge never needs to be resharpened, as it never grows dull or rolls, thus making it perfect for frontline combat.
Light as Spring Rain Perhaps a quirk of its forging (or perhaps an intentional feature), Samidare is considerably lighter than a blade its size and length ought to be; while this would normally result in a less effective weapon, Samidare loses none of its integrity or cutting power, as it is somehow able to leverage the same amount of force through less mass. This lightness allows the user to swing the weapon about with much greater speed for the same amount of physical exertion.
Chakra Conduction Being Chakra Conductive, Samidare is capable of channeling all types of Chakra for use in Bukijustu, and, more particularly, it has a slight affinity for Raiton chakra thanks to Sora’s constant use of the blade for that purpose. This affinity does not do anything of real note, but it does feel as if the blade were more eager to drink in Raiton Chakra than other types.
