(Jeet Kune Do) The Way of the Intercepting Fist
Type: Taijutsu
Background:
Jeet Kun Do is a hybrid martial arts system and life philosophy founded by martial artist Bruce Lee with direct, non classical and straightforward movements. Due to the way his style works they believe in minimal movement with maximum effect and extreme speed. The system works on the use of different 'tools' for different situations. These situations are broken down into ranges (Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling), with techniques flowing smoothly between them. It is referred to as a "style without style". Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the concept of interception, or attacking your opponent while he is about to attack. He believed that combat was spontaneous, and that a martial artist cannot predict it, only react to it, and that a good martial artist should "Be like water" and move fluidly without hesitation. Water is infinitely flexible. It can be seen through, and yet at other times it can obscure things from sight. It can split and go around things, rejoining on the other side, or it can crash through things. It can erode the hardest rocks by gently lapping away at them or it can flow past the tiniest pebble. The user needs to calm his mind completely, focus and wait for the opponent to strike. They will then use the opponents attacking force against them as the user moves in a relaxed state with fluid motion to take advantage of the opponents openings as the opponent attacks. Someone who masters Jeet Kun Do would have great reaction time, triple of what they had before being able to react instantly to normal taijutsu users. In close range a Jeet Kun Do master (like Bruce) can move a limb in the blink of an eye with great force, quickly catching the opponent off guard. Jeet Kune Do seeks to waste no time or movement, teaching that the simplest things work best.
Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:
Economy of motion is the principle by which Jeet Kun Do practitioners achieve:
Efficiency: An attack which reaches its target in the least amount of time, with maximum force.
Directness: Doing what comes naturally in a disciplined way.
Simplicity: Thinking in an uncomplicated manner; without ornamentation.
This is meant to help a practitioner conserve both energy and time; two crucial components in a physical confrontation. Maximized force seeks to end the battle quickly due to the amount of damage inflicted upon the opponent. Rapidity aims to reach the target before the opponent can react, which is half-beat faster timing, learned in Wing Chun and Western boxing.
"When the distance is wide, the attacking opponent requires some sort of preparation. Therefore, attack him on his preparation of attack." "To reach me, you must move to me. Your attack offers me an opportunity to intercept you."This means intercepting an opponent's attack with an attack of your own instead of a simple block. It is for this concept Jeet Kune Do is named. JKD practitioners believe that this is the most difficult defensive skill to develop. This strategy is a feature of some traditional Chinese martial arts, as well as an essential component of European épée fencing. Stop hits & kicks utilize the principle of economy of motion by combining attack and defense into one movement thus minimizing the "time" element.
Simultaneous parrying & punching
When confronting an incoming attack, the attack is parried or deflected and a counter attack is delivered at the same time. Not as advanced as a stop hit but more effective than blocking and counter attacking in sequence. This is practiced by some Chinese martial arts. Simultaneous parrying & punching utilizes the principle of economy of motion by combining attack and defense into one movement thus minimizing the "time" element and maximizing the "energy" element. Efficiency is gained by utilizing a parry rather than a block. By definition a "block" stops an attack whereas a parry merely re-directs an attack. Redirection has two advantages: It requires less energy to execute; it utilizes the opponents energy against them by creating an imbalance. Efficiency is gained in that the opponent has less time to react to the nullification of their attack while having to worry about defending an incoming attack.
Low kicks
JKD practitioners believe they should target their kicks to their opponent's shins, knees, thighs, and mid section. These targets are the closest to the foot, provide more stability and are more difficult to defend against. However, as with all other JKD principles nothing is "written in stone". If a target of opportunity presents itself, even a target above the waist, one could take advantage of the situation without feeling hampered by this principle. Maintaining low kicks utilizes the principle of economy of motion by reducing the distance a kick must travel thus minimizing the "time" element.
Five ways of attack
* Simple Angular Attack (SAA) / Simple Direct Attack (SDA). Is a simple motion (punch or kick) which moves with no effort to conceal it, directly to the target on the most economical route. It can be indirect, beginning on one line and ending on another. Such as a punch that starts to the stomach (mid line) and ends on the chin (high line). SAA is an attack that is launched from an unanticipated angle that is achieved by moving in such a way as to create an open line into which to strike.
* Attack By Combinations (ABC). This is using multiple rapid attacks, with volume of attack as a means of overcoming the opponent.
* Progressive Indirect Attack (PIA). Simulating an attack to one part of the opponent's body, followed by attacking another part, as a means of creating an opening.
* Hand Immobilization Attack (HIA) and its counterpart Foot Immobilization * attack, which make use of trapping/parrying to limit the opponent's function with that appendage.
Attack By Drawing (ABD). The goal when using attack by draw is to "draw" the opponent into a committed attack by baiting him into what looks like an exposed target, then intercepting his motion. One can execute a motion that invites a counter, then counter attack them as he takes the bait
Additional effects and Restrictions:
- Can only be taught to Sannin and above who have learned basic taijutsu.
- To master the user must learn the style of fighting, all of it's techniques and spar with the creator in a Taijutsu only match.
- A master of this will gain a calm mind which is needed for most martial arts.
- Can only be taught by -Yard-

Background Information
History:
Lee was born in both the hour and the year of the Dragon which in this cultural tradition is considered a strong and fortuitous omen. During his child-hood, he was picked on by kids because he perfered Taijutsu over Ninjutsu, kids thought he was stupid for his way of thinking, saying the phrase "What good is a ninja if he doesn't try to kill as quickly as possible?", starting naive miss-guided arguments with Lee that ended up with him getting into fights. Tho Lee enjoyed Taijutsu more than Ninjutsu, he wasn't particularly good in actual combat. He was often beat up fairly easy, he was the type of guy that knew more about fighting than anyone else but never had the mind set to use it in actual combat, as he would just go blank during fights. His parents often worried about him, his Dad however was stuck in his ways and liked that Bruce was being bullied as it would teach him to stand up for himself.
At the age of 10, on a cold Friday afternoon in the ninja academy, there was a guest in the school. That guest was no other than the Tsuchikage himself at the time Toku. Toku was looking for a new student to train, he looked around and picked non other than Lee. Toku had saw the way the other kids treated him and believed he could help. It was soon afterwards that Lee learned fire release. With Bruce having an affinity to fire, his skills shined and stood out enough to Toku that Toku took him on as a personal student upon finishing the element at age 11.
Toku taught Bruce earth as the next element, which consisted of mainly Bruce standing on top of a volcano holding a satellite dish on one leg while Toku got drunk and watched female mud wrestling on PPV. Toku would shout to Bruce "You must have will of the rock!". "You must have patience and balance, unmovable by pain or negative thoughts!" & "A little to the left!".Toku taught Bruce every element he could at the time as he grew older. Meanwhile at age 12, having learned a great deal of earth release and mastered fire, Bruce would beat up others in what was known as the "Ninja battle arena" located outside of all the villages in ninja world where he would steal people's bodies after quickly beating them and sell them alive for the currency that was known as "Kumi". Toku looked down on Bruce doing this and so, Bruce eventually stopped. However, it was through this that Bruce met The Pervy Sage A.K.A Dan.
Dan was an older man with long spikey white hair. Although he was funny, he was highly skilled. He battled Bruce and quickly beat him. Dan had showed Bruce that he still had a lot more further to go if he wanted to be skilled in combat. Dan offered to train Bruce in the arts of combat and Bruce gladly accepted. Dan taught Bruce a great Combination of attacks and taught him how to use what he had learned to develop a better strategy in battle. Bruce didn't understand this concept at first, he couldn't grasp what Dan meant, he instead just used what Dan had showed him, mimicking Dan's same combo's on others in the battle arena. He learned that after he created the combo's he couldn't follow up as well. The combo's worked in defeating unskilled ninja within the first one but when it came to ninja of his level and higher, they didn't work well enough to defeat them. It was then that Dan saw and lectured Bruce, teaching him to be creative, to think outside the box, piece each technique you use together and gave him further battle training. It was after this that Bruce was able to defeat many skilled ninja of his time and even entered a tournament hosted by Dan where he would teach the winner Sage mode. Bruce was still inexperienced, and truthfully he had only been battling a short time and he entered the tournament to fill a spot for Dan as the other person dropped out. So, Bruce entered and he fought Mugen-Sensei in the first round. Bruce lasted a lot longer than he would have thought, even being complimented by the sensei a few times due to Bruce still being in training with the elements, he hadn't mastered them all, and yet here he was lasting against a sensei, he lost the round but it gave him confidence and determination, it proved to him that his training was working. It was then that Dan introduced him to Zenryoku.
Zenryoku Aka Zen Aka Izanami Aka Nirvana was a highly skilled female (Bio is usually female). Known as someone who was a master in Taijutsu and unbelievably skilled in Kenjutsu. She was also a genius who created many awesome techniques, she truly had a mind like no other, able to think of new ideas for techniques almost instantly. Bruce looked up to this woman, not because she was well known, but what she was known for the most, and that was Taijutsu. Zen gave Bruce a little battle training in Taijutsu, Bruce was left amazed every time they had a 'mini spar'. Zen ended up fueling Bruce's passion for Taijutsu even more and he even furthered Bruces battle training in elemental strategies. That's not all tho, Zen taught Bruce a lot about philosophy, Bruce had enjoyed it and read many books on it, but Zen somehow sharpened his mind further with just his words alone. It is then that Bruce learned that if simple words could have such a strong impact on Bruce, then this woman must have been more powerful than she led on. However, Bruce was too inexperienced in the elements and his own taijutsu training to further his knowledge with Zen at the time so it was then that he decided to return to Zen for further enlightenment, battle training and more when he was ready.
Bruce created a school where he would pass on his teachings, he was known as someone a bit skilled at the time, at least above average and so he thought he would heighten the knowledge of others as well. It was there that he met Howard. Howard. It was then that Bruce met Sado, A.K.A Howard. Howard well, let's just say Bruce and Howard were like twins yet like exact opposites. Tho honestly they were both pretty cocky. This story can't be told well unless they fight at some point, and they fight at many points. It was within one week that Howard challenged Bruce, Howard unlike Bruce didn't have anyone to teach him how to fight, what it meant to be a ninja, Howard had it tougher than Bruce, he was on his own. Yet, Howard beat Bruce, even tho Bruce had learned all of what he did, it wasn't enough, Howard was too highly skilled in Raiton, Wind and Ninjutsu. Bruce had no other choice, he had to use the transformation technique and he did. He used the transformation technique to turn into a naked version of Howard's girlfriend, he then ran around the battlefield naked while flailing his arms around, forcing Howard to call it a tie. The two became close soon afterwards, always competeting. Bruce would go and learn from Toku, Dan and Zen while Howard trained alone. It was soon (age 13) that the tables had turned. After going back, finishing his earth release and learning from his mentors Dan and Zen, and even created a few techniques of his own, met Serpent A.K.A Fred and Howard joined Iwagakure.
Serpent was a well known Iwagakure ninja, master of the condors, he became great friends with Bruce and soon a teacher at his school along with Howard. Serpent was a good fighter, he even gave Bruce a few tips and even taught him how to summon the condors. He taught Bruce how to use his earth release more efficiently in battle and taught him every condor that he could summon. Even a condor he could fuse with, this was a great power boost for Bruce at the time. Soon Bruce was finally able to defeat Howard. Soon as Howard kept training, it would seem that the two were equal in strength. It was long after that the two got even more stronger, Bruce had finished his elemental training and the two moved on to bigger things.
He never saw it standing again because apparently the leader of it had kept escaping each attempt to destroy the village and after rebuilding it several times and recruiting more and more members he ended up just relocating with a new name. There is one thing he did not count on tho, Bruce and Howard did not have anything else better to do. So for nothing more than shits and giggles they went and blew that one up too. It was after that, that the leader got the idea and decided that maybe we really didn't have anything better to do than constantly track him down and blow his creations to smithereens. It was then that Bruce met a man named Scarface who was about to go destroy the village but Howard and I did first so he killed the survivors. It was on that day that Bruce became a lot more stronger, because on that day, Scarface had saw Bruce's potential and taught him his snake techniques. They were very powerful but with great cost, one technique scarface sad to watch out for, because it would cost Bruce his life for using it. That technique was known as Reptilion mode which Scarface noted to be stronger than the famous snake sage mode defending on it's use. He said it would double Bruce's strength and triple his speed but the strain it places on his heart would ultimately kill Bruce from using it. Scarface told him to only use it if it was to protect something important to him, and that when Bruce found something worthy of costing him his life to protect, then to use it with all his fury.
Bruce soon left his village destroying days behind and honed his Ninjutsu skills...or so he thought. Bruce's feats had reached ears of higher power than he had known, it was soon that the leader of the Akatsuki at the time, asked Bruce to leave his village and become an Akatsuki Ninja at the age of 16. This struck Bruce hard, could he bring himself to leave his village? Bruce knew he had to get stronger, he knew that there were costs to strength and that the Akatsuki could make him stronger than what a normal village could. The Akatsuki were a group of high class criminals who destroyed villages either for sport or to earn money from a village that wanted them dead. All in all, Bruce wanted destruction, he could not resist, he knew he'd face powerful ninja as well and the thought thrilled him more and so he ut his ties with Iwagakure and left for the Akatsuki.
While in the Akatsuki, Bruce was set on a team consisting of Gobi and Akiza. Two strong talented Ninja who made him feel like he was completely out of place when compared to their power. However, Bruce changed this as best as he could, he began learning jutsus unknown to other ninja, jutsus that were freshly created by other ninja. Soon Bruce was known as being someone who had powerful techniques, unknown by other people. This gave him a bit more of an advantage in combat, some of the techniques increased his power greatly while others added to his versatility. He still couldn't match their power but he at least felt like Akatsuki material. Enough to even create his own organization, Taka.
Taka was a group of three strong individuals. Howard, Yard aka Bruce and Sindy a new recruit that Bruce invited. Bruce taught her his most powerful techniques and got her strong enough to be what he was looking for. He did a similar thing with Howard, teaching his strongest techniques as well added with the already great strength he possessed, this made Taka a force to be reckoned with. Taka would instead destroy villages by themselves however there was one village in particular that Taka enjoyed attacking the most, and that was Kumo.
Bruce having gained great power by now and having recruited even more stronger fighters from it, he managed to get a group of Ninja legends to come to his aid for one big attack. Goro Kaguya, Bishamon Sama A.K.A Minato, Hellsbadass, Yusuke A.K.A The one tail, Scarface A.K.A Orochimaru and more. It was dawn, Taka crossed the sea to Kumogakure and showed up at the village gates. Scarface made a row of handseal and summoned a coffin and soon, Nagato Pein was standing before us as an Edo tensei. He rose into the air above the village, going into the center and suddenly, he unleashed a full scale Shinratensei upon the village. Bisha summoned the chief toad, Goro summoned the boss of the bears who were equal in size if I remember correctly. Yusuke unleashed the Shukaku and Taka rampaged through the village. Taka killed many people, destroying the village, until suddenly a man appeared, a man named Mugiwara, someone Bruce would never forget. The man was strong, strong enough to defeat two of the legends Scarface and Hellsbadass. Bruce had underestimated the village, he had fought them before, but he had never seen this man. The man who was strong enough to single handedly defeated his team, showing enough power to force the rest of us to retreat. It would appear the rumors were true, the Kage of Kumo was the strongest Kage in the ninja world of that time. It was difficult to believe for Howard and him, they had never seen someone that strong before. So what they learned that day was an important lesson, if something seems odd, you should probably keep testing it until you can justify your reasons for calling it odd, they attacked kumo on a weekly basis. In their spare time, Taka attacked Suna as well, taking a few chunks out of the village a few times. Kumo and Suna seemed to be their biggest targets.
Bruce soon set his sights on Sunagakure, knowing Dan now lived there, he wanted to see how his old friend was doing and test the strength of the village. Bruce recruited Nagato Aka Obito. Nagato was a strong man, a sensei who had a lot of skill and was pretty strong, he was certainly Akatsuki level but didn't want any part of it. Bruce, Nagato and Howard all stood outside the village gates. They all did 10 handseals and turned into many condor shaped flames that all attacked the village, blowing up many portions of it, except for the main parts of it that were blocked by non other than the legendary Pervy Sage himself. Taka battled with Sunagakure fiercely, Bruce battled with Dan while the rest of Taka took on the other village members in multiples. They had a long battled, until Dan had asked Bruce to leave, Dan enjoyed battling with Taka, but he knew that this was bad timing, both Taka and Sunagakure was getting low on reserves and there was war headed their way. So, Bruce took his men and left. However, on his way out of the gates, he was told by one of his men that thee was a strong Sungakure member among them, that one was named Rexii. Rexii asked to join Taka, and Bruce accepted him. Bruce then left, however slowly feeling his injuries from fighting with Dan. He was proud of himself tho, he was once taught by Dan and now he could go head to head with him.
It was soon that Bruce learned that Taka had more enemies than he thought, Bruce an Akatsuki member and Howard a Iwagakure member one day were coming back from Suna, worn out after their fight, their chakra levels low with minor injuries, Bruce was walking Howard home since Iwagakure is closer to Sunagakure than it is Amegakure which was the hide out of the Akatsuki at the time.
As Bruce and Howard approached the gates, they found clones of Kirabi, the 8 tails jinchuriki attacking the village of Iwagakure. Soon Kirabi spotted them and released one of his clones entering fang mode. This mode made him stronger than people they were used to facing. Bruce and Howard were used to fighting separately against their foes but this time they would need to work together, this man was strong and insanely fast. However, Bruce was very fast as well, he had learned techniques that could increase his speed to compete with Kirabi, as did Howard, but even with that, they were still a bit slower. Even when countering in Taijutsu every strike nearly killed Bruce by a few milliseconds. Bruce soon used a technique to make Kirabi stick to the ground to slow his movements, he then used a jutsu which made Kirabi unable to breathe in clean air, the air that he was breathing would soon kill him in a short amount of time, however, a short amount of time with this person was all it would take for them to get killed so they had to still be on their guard. Bruce then realized after further fighting, this man was being healed somehow, the toxic gas Bruce released with his jutsu would have killed anyone else, however, the man was being healed, Bruce then soon realized it must be by his sword. Suddenly, Howard managed to get his Samehada away from the man, to which Kirabi's clone grabbed it. Then Howard and Bruce managed to combine their attacks. Bruce dashed forward as fast as he could as Howard was behind Kirabi with a Rasengan. Bruce went to stab Kirabi in the throat as Howard sent the Rasengan into Kirabi's back, Whilst the clone threw the sword back to Kirabi to be able to heal him from the damage he was about to receive making our attacks useless, but, before any of the attacks had even hit, before Kirabi could even get his sword, suddenly, Goro Kaguya, literally flew in and placed Kirabi in a forbidden rank barrier before our attacks reached. The barrier created a massive amount of silver that stabbed into Kirabi and exploded in a powerful explosion inside the barrier. Smoke filled the inside of the barrier as we all watched, it cleared but Kirabi was gone, no blood, no remains, nothing. We looked to our right to see no more than Mugiwara standing with Kirabi over his right shoulder. Mugi then told Bruce and Howard that if they wished to kill him, they would have to fight him, Mugi did not want to fight the three as he is a peaceful man and would otherwise leave, so, they let Kirabi go which after Mugi left, Bruce collapsed from low chakra reserves, but Kirabi never attacked Iwagakure again. Very shortly after protecting Iwagakure tho, Howard was kicked from the village despite protecting them, that created a new rage inside Bruce's chest that made him swear revenge.
Shortly after defending Iwagakure and recovering, Bruce went to the pervy sage to ask for further guidance, it was then that Dan taught Bruce Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. After a week of rest Bruce went to go recruit his loyal Taka members to bring down Iwagakure. So, he got Howard who was living the life of a "missing" ninja at the time and they set out to Konoha to go and get Yusuke. Bruce trusted Konoha, Yusuke was from it and Bruce sworn to help protect Konoha from any village. In fact, when Bruce and Howard arrived, someone was already planning an attack, Bruce killed him by using a water jutsu of his to make his body explode. Bruce called for Yusuke, he yelled throughout the village, he had never been to Konoha so he didn't know where Yusuke was. Bruce decided to ask a person to go fetch him for him and then went to Ichiraku's with Howard and ate ramen. Suddenly, as they we eating, a Zetsu, grew up from the ground beside the two. He reminded Bruce that he was in Akatsuki robes and that was he was doing was very foolish since if Bruce dies, Konoha could steal very important info from him. Bruce had faith in his trust with Konoha, however, Yusuke apparently never filled Konoha in about the agreement Taka had which resulted in..well...let's just say it was a memorable event. When the person Bruce spoke to, to get Yusuke came back, he did not bring Yusuke, instead it was every strong ninja in Konoha all being led by Scorps to him. They circled around Bruce and Howard. Suddenly, Bruce and Howard found himself being attacked by random nin until suddenly, Scorps decided on letting Bruce fight him one on one, he he wins, he can go free, if he loses, well, then that's one less Akatsuki to worry about. Bruce accepted this, in all honesty, he wanted to fight Scorps, he had fought him before in the Ninja world battle arena, he had seen him improve greatly over time and wanted to see how much better he had gotten. However that is when he got information to get out as he would likely be ambushed no matter what and the info he would have given isn't worth playing around. He had to realize his circumstances, he was in the center of a village, surrounded by what could be powerful ninja. He had to leave. Bruce begun his fight, his first move was that he did a row of 10 handseals, turned his body into 10 fiery Forbidden ranked condors made of highly compressed flames and escaped as Howard held the others back as best as he could to let Bruce get out. The condors were highly explosive, they had the power to wipe out an entire village, Bruce knew he could use it as a good distraction while the real one slipped away. Suddenly, Scorps had made high rank water form around the condors as Bruce was in mid air, hovering over a building that was 15 meters away from the gates. Bruce was rejected from his fire condor form and trapped in an orb of water which he then hardened into earth and sliced out of with lightning before landing on a building 10 meters from the gates. Suddenly, what intel Bruce received was correct, he would have been ambushed even if he survived. As it turns out, Scorps was leading a ninja world alliance to stop Taka and Akatsuki. Suddenly, Sunagakure had shown up, Bruce saw the one he only knew as 'Emperor'. Emporer was rumored to be very strong, in fact, possessing power that is legendary and was very well known for his powerful Genjutsus. Suddenly, Bruce looked back only to see something from Howard he would never forget. Howard was holding off Bruce's Konoha enemies as the ones from Suna arrived, leaving Bruce with a small window of time to escape, Bruce activated all of his speed up techniques and busted out through the gates, as he was in mid run he encountered a konoha ninja to which he then kicked him in the face, sending him across the entire forest which was possible at his speed with his jutsu. Bruce however came to a stop, realizing he was still trapped, there were Konoha nin all around the outside of the gate waiting for him, he was surrounded with Suna ninja about to then attack him from behind. Until The pervy sage showed up on a giant hawk, told Bruce to get on as he got off, and he then activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, covering the area in front of him with Ameterasu as he then molded carbon all over the forest and made it explode. As this happened, Bruce flew off. Bruce later found out that Howard wasn't the only one who held Konoha off, it turned out that Goro and Bishamon had heard of the situation and they showed up to help just as Bruce was leaving.
Bruce returned to Ame after the battle with Konoha, he thought about who he could trust, who was his friend, he learned what a true friend was by how Howard was willing to sacrifice himself to protect him. Bruce thought for a while, the more he thought about not having friends, he realized how lonely he was and realized how much he missed Iwagakure. Bruce was an Akatsuki member, but as he looked over the village, seeing all the people below him, seeing students being trained, kids playing, he realized he wanted to be one of them. So, he did just that, he destroyed the bridge between Amegakure and Akatsuki and it one. Howard showed up at Bruce's house a week later after Bruce thinking he was dead. Bruce promised to never abandon him again in the middle of combat. It was shortly after that Howards feats of what he's done in Taka reached the ears of the Akatsuki and he joined with Bruce. A year passed and all was well, Bruce was 17, almost 18, he finally felt like he had a home, his Akatsuki missions were rarely there he felt as though things were slowing down for him. Bruce started to grow soft at heart and ended up wanting to live peacefully. Bruce was no longer an Akatsuki ninja, he was someone the growing ninja of Amegakure looked up to. So, he gave a summoning scroll to Shinta the Kage at the time to summon him when ever it was needed and decided to leave the Akatsuki and Ame to set out to improve his overall skills until he could be someone strong enough to protect Ame.
Bruce set out to find the only people who could improve his skills to be beyond his limitations. First he searched for The Pervy Sage. Bruce traveled to Sunagakure. As a ninja that has attacked the village many times before he had to write Dan constantly to have him talk the Kazekage into letting him in the village for a minimum time. It was in that time that Dan taught Bruce all of his most powerful techniques that Bruce could learn. Bruce and Dan spent a lot of time together, they had a limited time of 3 months but they enjoyed it as they grew to have a bond similar to brothers. Dan trained Bruce difficultly, the spared several times a week, most of the time they hadn't even recovered from the previous spars. They trained together fiercely until the day that Bruce had to leave.
Bruce then set out to find Zen and gain her blessing to finish Taijutsu under her and peruse it. Bruce set out for the land of iron searching for the one named Zen. Upon meeting with her All it took was one look, Zen had knew why he was there as she was a very smart and collective woman. She motioned for Bruce to attack her and he did, they spared in taijutsu for 8 minutes until Bruce could not take any more hits and gave up. After the spar, she then began speaking, going through every action in the spar, telling Bruce what he did wrong, how she could have injured him worse and more tips. It was from this that showed Bruce he made the right choice, he asked her to train him and she replied that it had already begun. They trained for over a year and a half in Taijutsu, perfecting his taijutsu more and more each day. It was then that she gave him her blessing to finish learning her taijutsu and also gave him a gift, which was a pair of Nunchaku. Bruce did not know how to wield them at first, and she wasn't going to teach him either. She wanted him to find his own way, and so he did, after her taijutsu combat training, Bruce worked for another year on bringing together the martial arts he's learned, combining them with philosophy he gained from his teachings, his own philosophy as well, he created Jeet Kune Do and taught himself how to use the Nunchaku through the style he created. However, having already spent over a year on Bruce's taijutsu, she left the rest of the training with his old sensei, Toku. Knowing her, this was probably her way of reconnecting Bruce with his roots and therefore helping to guide him to what's right. And so, Bruce set off to search for Toku. Eventually, he found his old sensei, reconnected with his roots and felt 'truly' happy as he learned Kaito's Taijutsu while being able to once again spend time with the person who is partly responsible for him getting to where he is in the first place, Going from a boy who couldn't even defend himself, to a high class ninja. Bruce soon finished Kaito's Taijutsu and became a Taijutsu Master.
During his training, Bruce was summoned back to Amegakure by Shinta. It was then he learned about an invasion by a powerful clan known as the Nekura. Bruce suddenly went into attack mode along with Howard and guarded the village, that day, Howard managed to kill half of the Nekura forces and after Bruce's appearance, it was as if the determination most of the clan members had died. Bruce only killed one of the two he fought, the other he fought he let him live in hopes that he would tell his clan what had happened and that they would be further discouraged. The rest that made it to the gates, Bruce held them back and ordered Ame's top ninja to do a formation around Amegakure. Ame won the war but he learned of things that happened while he was gone, he learned that the Akatsuki in Amegakure was no more, that Lili and Kiri had attacked and claimed the Akatsuki. He however was actually a bit glad, he wanted ame to become pure and with the Akatsuki it could not be. After hearing of this, Bruce met a suna ninja named Naruta who was sent on a mission to Amegakure, Bruce fell in love with the woman at first sight and oddly enough, so did she. It was soon that Bruce summoned Manda and rode through Amegakure, destroying many buildings with her as he was too blinded by his love to see where he was going, the two sailed off and Bruce finished his trained after 6 months. He then returned to Amegakure with Naruta who decided to stay, leaving Sunagakure.
Upon returning to Amegakure after nearly 3 years, Bruce is confronted by a man named Vincent who taught him about what that middle name of his means, he taught Bruce of the Valentine clan and that his parents were Valentines who escaped during the Ame war and fled to Iwagakure. He then accepted Bruce with open arms and invited him to learn more about the clan and to start training in the clans techniques and abilities.
Toku Arc
At the age of 10, on a cold Friday afternoon in the ninja academy, there was a guest in the school. That guest was no other than the Tsuchikage himself at the time Toku. Toku was looking for a new student to train, he looked around and picked non other than Lee. Toku had saw the way the other kids treated him and believed he could help. It was soon afterwards that Lee learned fire release. With Bruce having an affinity to fire, his skills shined and stood out enough to Toku that Toku took him on as a personal student upon finishing the element at age 11.
Toku taught Bruce earth as the next element, which consisted of mainly Bruce standing on top of a volcano holding a satellite dish on one leg while Toku got drunk and watched female mud wrestling on PPV. Toku would shout to Bruce "You must have will of the rock!". "You must have patience and balance, unmovable by pain or negative thoughts!" & "A little to the left!".Toku taught Bruce every element he could at the time as he grew older. Meanwhile at age 12, having learned a great deal of earth release and mastered fire, Bruce would beat up others in what was known as the "Ninja battle arena" located outside of all the villages in ninja world where he would steal people's bodies after quickly beating them and sell them alive for the currency that was known as "Kumi". Toku looked down on Bruce doing this and so, Bruce eventually stopped. However, it was through this that Bruce met The Pervy Sage A.K.A Dan.
The Pervy Sage Arc
Dan was an older man with long spikey white hair. Although he was funny, he was highly skilled. He battled Bruce and quickly beat him. Dan had showed Bruce that he still had a lot more further to go if he wanted to be skilled in combat. Dan offered to train Bruce in the arts of combat and Bruce gladly accepted. Dan taught Bruce a great Combination of attacks and taught him how to use what he had learned to develop a better strategy in battle. Bruce didn't understand this concept at first, he couldn't grasp what Dan meant, he instead just used what Dan had showed him, mimicking Dan's same combo's on others in the battle arena. He learned that after he created the combo's he couldn't follow up as well. The combo's worked in defeating unskilled ninja within the first one but when it came to ninja of his level and higher, they didn't work well enough to defeat them. It was then that Dan saw and lectured Bruce, teaching him to be creative, to think outside the box, piece each technique you use together and gave him further battle training. It was after this that Bruce was able to defeat many skilled ninja of his time and even entered a tournament hosted by Dan where he would teach the winner Sage mode. Bruce was still inexperienced, and truthfully he had only been battling a short time and he entered the tournament to fill a spot for Dan as the other person dropped out. So, Bruce entered and he fought Mugen-Sensei in the first round. Bruce lasted a lot longer than he would have thought, even being complimented by the sensei a few times due to Bruce still being in training with the elements, he hadn't mastered them all, and yet here he was lasting against a sensei, he lost the round but it gave him confidence and determination, it proved to him that his training was working. It was then that Dan introduced him to Zenryoku.
Zenryoku Arc
Zenryoku Aka Zen Aka Izanami Aka Nirvana was a highly skilled female (Bio is usually female). Known as someone who was a master in Taijutsu and unbelievably skilled in Kenjutsu. She was also a genius who created many awesome techniques, she truly had a mind like no other, able to think of new ideas for techniques almost instantly. Bruce looked up to this woman, not because she was well known, but what she was known for the most, and that was Taijutsu. Zen gave Bruce a little battle training in Taijutsu, Bruce was left amazed every time they had a 'mini spar'. Zen ended up fueling Bruce's passion for Taijutsu even more and he even furthered Bruces battle training in elemental strategies. That's not all tho, Zen taught Bruce a lot about philosophy, Bruce had enjoyed it and read many books on it, but Zen somehow sharpened his mind further with just his words alone. It is then that Bruce learned that if simple words could have such a strong impact on Bruce, then this woman must have been more powerful than she led on. However, Bruce was too inexperienced in the elements and his own taijutsu training to further his knowledge with Zen at the time so it was then that he decided to return to Zen for further enlightenment, battle training and more when he was ready.
Howard Arc
Bruce created a school where he would pass on his teachings, he was known as someone a bit skilled at the time, at least above average and so he thought he would heighten the knowledge of others as well. It was there that he met Howard. Howard. It was then that Bruce met Sado, A.K.A Howard. Howard well, let's just say Bruce and Howard were like twins yet like exact opposites. Tho honestly they were both pretty cocky. This story can't be told well unless they fight at some point, and they fight at many points. It was within one week that Howard challenged Bruce, Howard unlike Bruce didn't have anyone to teach him how to fight, what it meant to be a ninja, Howard had it tougher than Bruce, he was on his own. Yet, Howard beat Bruce, even tho Bruce had learned all of what he did, it wasn't enough, Howard was too highly skilled in Raiton, Wind and Ninjutsu. Bruce had no other choice, he had to use the transformation technique and he did. He used the transformation technique to turn into a naked version of Howard's girlfriend, he then ran around the battlefield naked while flailing his arms around, forcing Howard to call it a tie. The two became close soon afterwards, always competeting. Bruce would go and learn from Toku, Dan and Zen while Howard trained alone. It was soon (age 13) that the tables had turned. After going back, finishing his earth release and learning from his mentors Dan and Zen, and even created a few techniques of his own, met Serpent A.K.A Fred and Howard joined Iwagakure.
Serpent Arc.
Serpent was a well known Iwagakure ninja, master of the condors, he became great friends with Bruce and soon a teacher at his school along with Howard. Serpent was a good fighter, he even gave Bruce a few tips and even taught him how to summon the condors. He taught Bruce how to use his earth release more efficiently in battle and taught him every condor that he could summon. Even a condor he could fuse with, this was a great power boost for Bruce at the time. Soon Bruce was finally able to defeat Howard. Soon as Howard kept training, it would seem that the two were equal in strength. It was long after that the two got even more stronger, Bruce had finished his elemental training and the two moved on to bigger things.
Shadow Village Arc.
Bruce and Howard heard of village called "The shadow village". It was known as a hideout for all of the new ninja to the rp. There were some stronger more experienced ninja mixed in however and Bruce knew that if there was anything that could test his strength, it would be this. Bruce and Howard traveled to the shadow village and they destroyed it, left it in a giant swamp with many slaughtered. More ninja then rebuilt the village, however that was a poor decision, a waste of time, because every time that village got rebuilt, Howard and Bruce destroyed it, killing every ninja there. It was then that Bruce got stronger, he had developed new techniques, he saw how that village would get rebuilt by more ninja who had heard about it. He realized that, that village was about to be his go-to place for testing his new techniques. The last time he saw the village standing, he sent a Forbidden rank large scale lightning attack through it that obliterated every part of the village until it was no more, and from that day on, he never saw that village standing again.
Waterfall Village Arc.
He never saw it standing again because apparently the leader of it had kept escaping each attempt to destroy the village and after rebuilding it several times and recruiting more and more members he ended up just relocating with a new name. There is one thing he did not count on tho, Bruce and Howard did not have anything else better to do. So for nothing more than shits and giggles they went and blew that one up too. It was after that, that the leader got the idea and decided that maybe we really didn't have anything better to do than constantly track him down and blow his creations to smithereens. It was then that Bruce met a man named Scarface who was about to go destroy the village but Howard and I did first so he killed the survivors. It was on that day that Bruce became a lot more stronger, because on that day, Scarface had saw Bruce's potential and taught him his snake techniques. They were very powerful but with great cost, one technique scarface sad to watch out for, because it would cost Bruce his life for using it. That technique was known as Reptilion mode which Scarface noted to be stronger than the famous snake sage mode defending on it's use. He said it would double Bruce's strength and triple his speed but the strain it places on his heart would ultimately kill Bruce from using it. Scarface told him to only use it if it was to protect something important to him, and that when Bruce found something worthy of costing him his life to protect, then to use it with all his fury.
Akatsuki Arc.
Bruce soon left his village destroying days behind and honed his Ninjutsu skills...or so he thought. Bruce's feats had reached ears of higher power than he had known, it was soon that the leader of the Akatsuki at the time, asked Bruce to leave his village and become an Akatsuki Ninja at the age of 16. This struck Bruce hard, could he bring himself to leave his village? Bruce knew he had to get stronger, he knew that there were costs to strength and that the Akatsuki could make him stronger than what a normal village could. The Akatsuki were a group of high class criminals who destroyed villages either for sport or to earn money from a village that wanted them dead. All in all, Bruce wanted destruction, he could not resist, he knew he'd face powerful ninja as well and the thought thrilled him more and so he ut his ties with Iwagakure and left for the Akatsuki.
While in the Akatsuki, Bruce was set on a team consisting of Gobi and Akiza. Two strong talented Ninja who made him feel like he was completely out of place when compared to their power. However, Bruce changed this as best as he could, he began learning jutsus unknown to other ninja, jutsus that were freshly created by other ninja. Soon Bruce was known as being someone who had powerful techniques, unknown by other people. This gave him a bit more of an advantage in combat, some of the techniques increased his power greatly while others added to his versatility. He still couldn't match their power but he at least felt like Akatsuki material. Enough to even create his own organization, Taka.
Taka was a group of three strong individuals. Howard, Yard aka Bruce and Sindy a new recruit that Bruce invited. Bruce taught her his most powerful techniques and got her strong enough to be what he was looking for. He did a similar thing with Howard, teaching his strongest techniques as well added with the already great strength he possessed, this made Taka a force to be reckoned with. Taka would instead destroy villages by themselves however there was one village in particular that Taka enjoyed attacking the most, and that was Kumo.
Attack On Kumo
Bruce having gained great power by now and having recruited even more stronger fighters from it, he managed to get a group of Ninja legends to come to his aid for one big attack. Goro Kaguya, Bishamon Sama A.K.A Minato, Hellsbadass, Yusuke A.K.A The one tail, Scarface A.K.A Orochimaru and more. It was dawn, Taka crossed the sea to Kumogakure and showed up at the village gates. Scarface made a row of handseal and summoned a coffin and soon, Nagato Pein was standing before us as an Edo tensei. He rose into the air above the village, going into the center and suddenly, he unleashed a full scale Shinratensei upon the village. Bisha summoned the chief toad, Goro summoned the boss of the bears who were equal in size if I remember correctly. Yusuke unleashed the Shukaku and Taka rampaged through the village. Taka killed many people, destroying the village, until suddenly a man appeared, a man named Mugiwara, someone Bruce would never forget. The man was strong, strong enough to defeat two of the legends Scarface and Hellsbadass. Bruce had underestimated the village, he had fought them before, but he had never seen this man. The man who was strong enough to single handedly defeated his team, showing enough power to force the rest of us to retreat. It would appear the rumors were true, the Kage of Kumo was the strongest Kage in the ninja world of that time. It was difficult to believe for Howard and him, they had never seen someone that strong before. So what they learned that day was an important lesson, if something seems odd, you should probably keep testing it until you can justify your reasons for calling it odd, they attacked kumo on a weekly basis. In their spare time, Taka attacked Suna as well, taking a few chunks out of the village a few times. Kumo and Suna seemed to be their biggest targets.
Taka's Attack on Sunagakure
Bruce soon set his sights on Sunagakure, knowing Dan now lived there, he wanted to see how his old friend was doing and test the strength of the village. Bruce recruited Nagato Aka Obito. Nagato was a strong man, a sensei who had a lot of skill and was pretty strong, he was certainly Akatsuki level but didn't want any part of it. Bruce, Nagato and Howard all stood outside the village gates. They all did 10 handseals and turned into many condor shaped flames that all attacked the village, blowing up many portions of it, except for the main parts of it that were blocked by non other than the legendary Pervy Sage himself. Taka battled with Sunagakure fiercely, Bruce battled with Dan while the rest of Taka took on the other village members in multiples. They had a long battled, until Dan had asked Bruce to leave, Dan enjoyed battling with Taka, but he knew that this was bad timing, both Taka and Sunagakure was getting low on reserves and there was war headed their way. So, Bruce took his men and left. However, on his way out of the gates, he was told by one of his men that thee was a strong Sungakure member among them, that one was named Rexii. Rexii asked to join Taka, and Bruce accepted him. Bruce then left, however slowly feeling his injuries from fighting with Dan. He was proud of himself tho, he was once taught by Dan and now he could go head to head with him.
Protecting Iwagakure
It was soon that Bruce learned that Taka had more enemies than he thought, Bruce an Akatsuki member and Howard a Iwagakure member one day were coming back from Suna, worn out after their fight, their chakra levels low with minor injuries, Bruce was walking Howard home since Iwagakure is closer to Sunagakure than it is Amegakure which was the hide out of the Akatsuki at the time.
As Bruce and Howard approached the gates, they found clones of Kirabi, the 8 tails jinchuriki attacking the village of Iwagakure. Soon Kirabi spotted them and released one of his clones entering fang mode. This mode made him stronger than people they were used to facing. Bruce and Howard were used to fighting separately against their foes but this time they would need to work together, this man was strong and insanely fast. However, Bruce was very fast as well, he had learned techniques that could increase his speed to compete with Kirabi, as did Howard, but even with that, they were still a bit slower. Even when countering in Taijutsu every strike nearly killed Bruce by a few milliseconds. Bruce soon used a technique to make Kirabi stick to the ground to slow his movements, he then used a jutsu which made Kirabi unable to breathe in clean air, the air that he was breathing would soon kill him in a short amount of time, however, a short amount of time with this person was all it would take for them to get killed so they had to still be on their guard. Bruce then realized after further fighting, this man was being healed somehow, the toxic gas Bruce released with his jutsu would have killed anyone else, however, the man was being healed, Bruce then soon realized it must be by his sword. Suddenly, Howard managed to get his Samehada away from the man, to which Kirabi's clone grabbed it. Then Howard and Bruce managed to combine their attacks. Bruce dashed forward as fast as he could as Howard was behind Kirabi with a Rasengan. Bruce went to stab Kirabi in the throat as Howard sent the Rasengan into Kirabi's back, Whilst the clone threw the sword back to Kirabi to be able to heal him from the damage he was about to receive making our attacks useless, but, before any of the attacks had even hit, before Kirabi could even get his sword, suddenly, Goro Kaguya, literally flew in and placed Kirabi in a forbidden rank barrier before our attacks reached. The barrier created a massive amount of silver that stabbed into Kirabi and exploded in a powerful explosion inside the barrier. Smoke filled the inside of the barrier as we all watched, it cleared but Kirabi was gone, no blood, no remains, nothing. We looked to our right to see no more than Mugiwara standing with Kirabi over his right shoulder. Mugi then told Bruce and Howard that if they wished to kill him, they would have to fight him, Mugi did not want to fight the three as he is a peaceful man and would otherwise leave, so, they let Kirabi go which after Mugi left, Bruce collapsed from low chakra reserves, but Kirabi never attacked Iwagakure again. Very shortly after protecting Iwagakure tho, Howard was kicked from the village despite protecting them, that created a new rage inside Bruce's chest that made him swear revenge.
Taka/Akatsuki Attack on Konoha
Shortly after defending Iwagakure and recovering, Bruce went to the pervy sage to ask for further guidance, it was then that Dan taught Bruce Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. After a week of rest Bruce went to go recruit his loyal Taka members to bring down Iwagakure. So, he got Howard who was living the life of a "missing" ninja at the time and they set out to Konoha to go and get Yusuke. Bruce trusted Konoha, Yusuke was from it and Bruce sworn to help protect Konoha from any village. In fact, when Bruce and Howard arrived, someone was already planning an attack, Bruce killed him by using a water jutsu of his to make his body explode. Bruce called for Yusuke, he yelled throughout the village, he had never been to Konoha so he didn't know where Yusuke was. Bruce decided to ask a person to go fetch him for him and then went to Ichiraku's with Howard and ate ramen. Suddenly, as they we eating, a Zetsu, grew up from the ground beside the two. He reminded Bruce that he was in Akatsuki robes and that was he was doing was very foolish since if Bruce dies, Konoha could steal very important info from him. Bruce had faith in his trust with Konoha, however, Yusuke apparently never filled Konoha in about the agreement Taka had which resulted in..well...let's just say it was a memorable event. When the person Bruce spoke to, to get Yusuke came back, he did not bring Yusuke, instead it was every strong ninja in Konoha all being led by Scorps to him. They circled around Bruce and Howard. Suddenly, Bruce and Howard found himself being attacked by random nin until suddenly, Scorps decided on letting Bruce fight him one on one, he he wins, he can go free, if he loses, well, then that's one less Akatsuki to worry about. Bruce accepted this, in all honesty, he wanted to fight Scorps, he had fought him before in the Ninja world battle arena, he had seen him improve greatly over time and wanted to see how much better he had gotten. However that is when he got information to get out as he would likely be ambushed no matter what and the info he would have given isn't worth playing around. He had to realize his circumstances, he was in the center of a village, surrounded by what could be powerful ninja. He had to leave. Bruce begun his fight, his first move was that he did a row of 10 handseals, turned his body into 10 fiery Forbidden ranked condors made of highly compressed flames and escaped as Howard held the others back as best as he could to let Bruce get out. The condors were highly explosive, they had the power to wipe out an entire village, Bruce knew he could use it as a good distraction while the real one slipped away. Suddenly, Scorps had made high rank water form around the condors as Bruce was in mid air, hovering over a building that was 15 meters away from the gates. Bruce was rejected from his fire condor form and trapped in an orb of water which he then hardened into earth and sliced out of with lightning before landing on a building 10 meters from the gates. Suddenly, what intel Bruce received was correct, he would have been ambushed even if he survived. As it turns out, Scorps was leading a ninja world alliance to stop Taka and Akatsuki. Suddenly, Sunagakure had shown up, Bruce saw the one he only knew as 'Emperor'. Emporer was rumored to be very strong, in fact, possessing power that is legendary and was very well known for his powerful Genjutsus. Suddenly, Bruce looked back only to see something from Howard he would never forget. Howard was holding off Bruce's Konoha enemies as the ones from Suna arrived, leaving Bruce with a small window of time to escape, Bruce activated all of his speed up techniques and busted out through the gates, as he was in mid run he encountered a konoha ninja to which he then kicked him in the face, sending him across the entire forest which was possible at his speed with his jutsu. Bruce however came to a stop, realizing he was still trapped, there were Konoha nin all around the outside of the gate waiting for him, he was surrounded with Suna ninja about to then attack him from behind. Until The pervy sage showed up on a giant hawk, told Bruce to get on as he got off, and he then activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, covering the area in front of him with Ameterasu as he then molded carbon all over the forest and made it explode. As this happened, Bruce flew off. Bruce later found out that Howard wasn't the only one who held Konoha off, it turned out that Goro and Bishamon had heard of the situation and they showed up to help just as Bruce was leaving.
Amegakure, My New Home.
Bruce returned to Ame after the battle with Konoha, he thought about who he could trust, who was his friend, he learned what a true friend was by how Howard was willing to sacrifice himself to protect him. Bruce thought for a while, the more he thought about not having friends, he realized how lonely he was and realized how much he missed Iwagakure. Bruce was an Akatsuki member, but as he looked over the village, seeing all the people below him, seeing students being trained, kids playing, he realized he wanted to be one of them. So, he did just that, he destroyed the bridge between Amegakure and Akatsuki and it one. Howard showed up at Bruce's house a week later after Bruce thinking he was dead. Bruce promised to never abandon him again in the middle of combat. It was shortly after that Howards feats of what he's done in Taka reached the ears of the Akatsuki and he joined with Bruce. A year passed and all was well, Bruce was 17, almost 18, he finally felt like he had a home, his Akatsuki missions were rarely there he felt as though things were slowing down for him. Bruce started to grow soft at heart and ended up wanting to live peacefully. Bruce was no longer an Akatsuki ninja, he was someone the growing ninja of Amegakure looked up to. So, he gave a summoning scroll to Shinta the Kage at the time to summon him when ever it was needed and decided to leave the Akatsuki and Ame to set out to improve his overall skills until he could be someone strong enough to protect Ame.
Training Completion Arc.
Bruce set out to find the only people who could improve his skills to be beyond his limitations. First he searched for The Pervy Sage. Bruce traveled to Sunagakure. As a ninja that has attacked the village many times before he had to write Dan constantly to have him talk the Kazekage into letting him in the village for a minimum time. It was in that time that Dan taught Bruce all of his most powerful techniques that Bruce could learn. Bruce and Dan spent a lot of time together, they had a limited time of 3 months but they enjoyed it as they grew to have a bond similar to brothers. Dan trained Bruce difficultly, the spared several times a week, most of the time they hadn't even recovered from the previous spars. They trained together fiercely until the day that Bruce had to leave.
Bruce then set out to find Zen and gain her blessing to finish Taijutsu under her and peruse it. Bruce set out for the land of iron searching for the one named Zen. Upon meeting with her All it took was one look, Zen had knew why he was there as she was a very smart and collective woman. She motioned for Bruce to attack her and he did, they spared in taijutsu for 8 minutes until Bruce could not take any more hits and gave up. After the spar, she then began speaking, going through every action in the spar, telling Bruce what he did wrong, how she could have injured him worse and more tips. It was from this that showed Bruce he made the right choice, he asked her to train him and she replied that it had already begun. They trained for over a year and a half in Taijutsu, perfecting his taijutsu more and more each day. It was then that she gave him her blessing to finish learning her taijutsu and also gave him a gift, which was a pair of Nunchaku. Bruce did not know how to wield them at first, and she wasn't going to teach him either. She wanted him to find his own way, and so he did, after her taijutsu combat training, Bruce worked for another year on bringing together the martial arts he's learned, combining them with philosophy he gained from his teachings, his own philosophy as well, he created Jeet Kune Do and taught himself how to use the Nunchaku through the style he created. However, having already spent over a year on Bruce's taijutsu, she left the rest of the training with his old sensei, Toku. Knowing her, this was probably her way of reconnecting Bruce with his roots and therefore helping to guide him to what's right. And so, Bruce set off to search for Toku. Eventually, he found his old sensei, reconnected with his roots and felt 'truly' happy as he learned Kaito's Taijutsu while being able to once again spend time with the person who is partly responsible for him getting to where he is in the first place, Going from a boy who couldn't even defend himself, to a high class ninja. Bruce soon finished Kaito's Taijutsu and became a Taijutsu Master.
A sudden summons
During his training, Bruce was summoned back to Amegakure by Shinta. It was then he learned about an invasion by a powerful clan known as the Nekura. Bruce suddenly went into attack mode along with Howard and guarded the village, that day, Howard managed to kill half of the Nekura forces and after Bruce's appearance, it was as if the determination most of the clan members had died. Bruce only killed one of the two he fought, the other he fought he let him live in hopes that he would tell his clan what had happened and that they would be further discouraged. The rest that made it to the gates, Bruce held them back and ordered Ame's top ninja to do a formation around Amegakure. Ame won the war but he learned of things that happened while he was gone, he learned that the Akatsuki in Amegakure was no more, that Lili and Kiri had attacked and claimed the Akatsuki. He however was actually a bit glad, he wanted ame to become pure and with the Akatsuki it could not be. After hearing of this, Bruce met a suna ninja named Naruta who was sent on a mission to Amegakure, Bruce fell in love with the woman at first sight and oddly enough, so did she. It was soon that Bruce summoned Manda and rode through Amegakure, destroying many buildings with her as he was too blinded by his love to see where he was going, the two sailed off and Bruce finished his trained after 6 months. He then returned to Amegakure with Naruta who decided to stay, leaving Sunagakure.
Valentine
Upon returning to Amegakure after nearly 3 years, Bruce is confronted by a man named Vincent who taught him about what that middle name of his means, he taught Bruce of the Valentine clan and that his parents were Valentines who escaped during the Ame war and fled to Iwagakure. He then accepted Bruce with open arms and invited him to learn more about the clan and to start training in the clans techniques and abilities.

If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. " he has gained the ability to "Be like water" in the sense that he can adjust himself to his opponent in combat, being able to easily read through the opponents Taijutsu and counter by striking where they leave themselves open, finding the opponents weak points without even thinking, to Bruce it is second nature, he is trained to recognize the opponents openings and strike them in an instant. Being like water aids him in this, during combat Bruce is relaxed with his body and arms slightly weaving, keeping an emotionless expression, keeping his strike non telegraphed as that is what being like water is about.

Squires have only access to the basic modes with a -2 turn penalty on duration of the mode due to being essentially new to the arts.
