Juugo Training

[Yotaka]

*Juugo stands atop a pile of bodies outside of the Northern Hideout gates. Looking about the empty area, Juugo's skin tone returned to normal from the grey it had been from using his Natural Energy.*
"Oh... It appears as though I actually did it. I must apologize..."
*Looking out over the area, Juugo noticed something. Or maybe it was someone. Would he kill this man? Refusing to move from the mound of bodies, Juugo waited calmly for the man to approach. If he took too long, death awaited him. But how long was too long?*

Jūgo walked to his old home with a somber slow pace he found himself returning every now and again to see how things were in the prison he once called home. He was calm, at ease, something that was becoming more and more common as he had been learning to channel his rage. He trained in many styles to calm his body, and mind, atop a mound of bodies he saw a man.
This man looked exactly like him, he let out a sigh. A solemn drawn our sigh. Another copy, it seems he at least got this one looking right. Oi, Copy, did you learn how to control your rage yet? How about how to augment your fighting? Can you control your transformations?
Jūgo continued to get closer, somehow he felt like helping the man, he had been in that position not too long ago. Well, channel the Natural Energy into your hand, use it to cover it in small spikes. I call it (Gosunkugi) Living Spikes, it comes in handy. It lets you create additional damage to your opponent. It's not fatal, but when you calm your mind you'll learn of it's usefulness.
Jūgo began using his Sage Transformation ability, he altered his fist, creating a dozen three inch spikes on his hand. They were all along his fingers and there were even ones on his knuckles. He punched downward hitting the ground with a thud. He pulled his hand from the ground revealing dozens of small holes in the ground. Just think of how that'd feel. Or come here and I'll show you. Well?

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 15 (+10 for an additional turn)
Damage: N/A (+10 to a Taijutsu movement)
Description: While using his Sage Transformation ability, Jūgo can alter his body part covering a limb or appendage in dozens of three inch spike like bumps. The spikes themselves are very hard, and stiff enough to pierce regular unaltered human flesh. These spikes can therefor pierce flesh and cause additional lacerations and rather deep wounds nothing life threatening but enough to cause a decent amount of excess pain along with a taijutsu movement. These spikes can not exceed three inches and there can be no more then thirty small spike like growths.
-Can only be used by Jūgo
-Can be used thrice
-The spikes can last two turns but deplete chakra to be sustained.

 

[Yotaka]

"My rage? It is a part of me, something I once relied upon Kimimmaro to house and store away so that no one was hurt. But look at me; Kimimmaro is gone. He was fed up with who I am; thought he could handle me, but once he saw what I truly am..."
*Juugo's body began to turn back to its Sage Transformation Mode, the right half of his body turning back to its gray form.*
"My fighting is dictated by my power, my power controlled by my rage. But if it's power we're talking about..."
*Juugo turned his head to the left, and in his minds eye he saw Kimimmaro standing next to him. Nothing more than an apparition, a hallucination created out of circumstance, but it was comforting none-the-less.*
"...I can try."

*Holding out his right arm, Juugo focused his Natural Energy into it, trying to construct a mental image of what these spikes would look like on his hand as he channeled the energy through his arm. After being sure that the mental image was sufficient, Juugo attempted to control his flow of chakra and Natural Energy in order to force his flesh to transform into the form he wished it to be; spiked. Juugo's skin, which was already somewhat scaly, slowly began to become covered with full-fledged spikes on his right hand. Juugo, after believing that his hand's spikes were solid enough to be effective in battle, then looked up at the strange man before him.*

"Show me? Show me what? Are you challenging me to a fight? Do you WANT me to be mad!? I'LL KILL YOU!"
