[Ken] Mastery of the sword
- Thread starter Kisaragi
- Start date
With a quick swing of Queen’s Blade, three shockwaves came flying from a direction unknown. They past the new student just barely cutting off an inch of his hair. As they do a wicked and dark laugh can be heard coming from the bushes. A young figure came into light as Annabel came into the light. She held her sword in her hand and tapped it to her shoulder while laughing eerily.
My my, a new one sent to me by Zero eh? Hmph that man has some nerve…well then no time to waste, my name is Annabel but you shall address me a Sensei Anna. You request to learn the way of the sword from me no? Where is your weapon of choice.
She asked while she walked around with Queen’s Blade in her hand and smiling.

It was at that time when an unusual shockwave came toward Shinny and even manages to slice an inch off his hair. Shinny's left eyebrow started to twitch, realizing this was probably the person Nero sent him to. "You serious Nero...? " He thought to himself before he realized a female was tapping her sword against her shoulder. But what exactly was so funny? That questioned tumbled around in his head.
"So your the one Teach told me about. Annabel, huh? Oh well excuse me, Sensei Anna. You seemed the most reliable so I wanted to learn from one of the best. I love using my Katana. Oh right....my name is Shintaro. It's nice to meet you I suppose....with that crazy greeting."
Shinny watched the movement of her body language like he was a bit worried that she might try something again. He had a Katana leaned against a tree but it wasn't in too good of condition.

After hearing her student complain about her unusual entry she disappeared and within a blink of an eye was near to his face. Her sword was to his neck and her eyes gleamed red in color as her Sharingan activated as she pressed the sword more onto his neck.
With a quick smile she deactivated her eyes and with a small laugh she turned around and spoke.
Now now, don’t get upset I clipped a little of your ends, Shintaro-kun. Your sword is good, but the question is, how good are you with it?
Annabel imposed as she turned more serious. This time she activated her Sharingan once more as it swirled to life into its 2nd stage. She then channels chakra into her hands a she flung her blade into the air. Making a single hand seal, she creates an illusion where your sword suddenly turned into a weapon, she then tossed a regular sword towards you.
Don’t activate those eyes of yours. Let’s see how well you can fight your own sword now that its turned against ehehehe. Don’t die Shintaro-kun! AHAHAHA!
Annabel laughed as her sword came back down and she grabbed the hilt of the sword. Now having the fox to attack you, it coming from with a diagonal swipe with his claws to the face on your left check.

All it took was one blink and she appeared right before his very eyes with the blade pressed against his neck and what caught him more off guard was that this freaking chick was an Uchiha. Possibly a close relative considering they're from the same clan. Why was she acting so insensitive and deadly at times and then all....well alright. That replayed in his mind when he shrugged, listening to her comments. "Yea...your right. It was only an inch.....MY ASS! That's what you want to hear! Tuff. Forget it. So my sword is good after all? Honestly thought it was useless. Guess I'm the useless one. I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish, but I'm a rookie when it comes to the Art of the Sword. Nero hasn't had the time to really practice with me. Meh."
Shinny could tell things we're getting worse and worse. It was honestly a huge drag. He saw the more so serious facial expression from the female and then he realized her Sharingan was a step ahead of his. He watched her movement when she randomly tossed her sword up and began performing a hand seal. Then outta nowhere his sword turned against him? It was suddenly a fox before him and Annabel tossing him a sword which he swiftly caught in his dominant hand.
"So you can activate yours but I can't? I hate playing by your rules....why are you playing games with me. I don't remember asking to join a circus..."
Shinny's left eyebrow twitched as the female continued laughing. He knew something unusual was taking place so he decided to play along. He positioned himself with his own style of swordplay and suddenly the fox charged with a diagonal claw slash aiming for Shinny's face, but he swiftly steps back and swings his blade down in-between the claws of the fox as he felt the traction of his sandals forcing him to slide back, sweat dripping from his face down to the tip of his nose when Shinny gathered his raw strength to push it to the side he wasted no time and lunged forward and thrusted his blade into the "fox". As expected, Shinny felt something was off. "You're something else Anna...."

Games? Who said anything about games? Hmph oh well, you seem able to hold a sword.
Anna said snapping her fingers, ending the genjutsu. She rolls her eyes and clapped her hands ,causing smoke to appear and a set of dummies to appear around them looking like Shintaro. She then took a scroll out of her pouch and tossed it towards you. Along with it was a pen for you to write on. Anna jumped into a tree near by and hung upside down while swinging from it. She deactivated her sharingan and began to speak.
You’re really no fun…and his name is Zero, not Nero. First I want you to tell me what you know about Kenjutsu. Your goals, thoughts feelings, what ever it maybe. As long as it about the topic. I want to know what you think about it before we start the lesson.
She said sounding bored already.

"Forget it. Anyways.... I guess I can. Don't have any good skill, but that will change."
He shrugged at the eye rolling Anna gave him like she had some attitude. Suddenly a bunch of dummies this Uchiha female made appear looked just like Shinny. Not really caring too much he easily caught the scroll thrown to him. The scroll was even equipped with a pen to write on it maybe? Who knows. This Anna chick half asses stuff it seems. He watched her closely as she swung in the tree like some academy ninja. Then with her next comment it actually brought a smirk to his face, almost making him want to chuckle.
"Nero, Zero, or even the Hero.... I'm still gonna beat my Teach. You think I know much about Ken if I'm coming to you for help? Hm... of course in Ken you obviously use your blade and it can also be combined with Tai. Its the art of wielding your blade for the offense and the defense. With Ken you can always form your chakra in the blade for a variety of effects, especially range. Its really just another form of tai or at least its mixed with the arts of the body. It also varies from Shinobi to Samurai but most Samurai are familiar and far better with the Art of Ken. Those Samurai live in The Land Of The Iron. Like I said, I don't know much about it. Sorry. My goals....I just want power. Succeeding in surpassing everyone who I find a threat or whom I have great respect for. Nothing more nothing less. Ahaha my feelings? What do you care for? Anyways.... I have nothing to think about, "The oh so great Anna.""
Shinny added some sarcasm towards the end just to enjoy himself since he's being stuck here with her. Might as well loosen up, right? Not.

Anna wasn’t a fan of snarky remarks since it was her thing. She let it go out of pour boredom. While she was in the tree, she took a scroll from her ninja pouch and threw it towards Shin. She then spoke.
Hmph, read these scrolls and the perform each to the best of your ability and then Ill tell you any tips you might need.
Annabel then flipped out of the tree and landed on the ground. She with grace in her step and balance waited for the youngling to do the techniques while she slowly spun in a circle

"Heh. Kinda adorable when you finally shut up." He teasingly said, seeing that the girl had no stupid remark to his previous comments. Shinny swiftly caught the scroll that was randomly thrown to him, it seemed as if we we're finally getting on to the training. "You're finally acting like a normal teacher, Anna. Hmph. Let's get this started then." Then Shinny's mouth opened a bit with an awkward facial expression, wondering what the heck Anna was spinning around for. What's with her? He thought to himself.
Shintaro placed one hand on his sheath and the other on the hand of his katana. The full bodied dummy in front of him was obvious just standing in place, not knowing what lied ahead considering it was impossible for it. Shintaro placed his right foot back and slid his left foot forward to perfect a samurai stance he once saw before. Wasting no time, Shintaro dashed the dummy, almost making it seem like he had great speed because of the stance he had a good start off. Inching closer to the dummy he then swung his katana in a downward diagonal slash, followed by another downward diagonal slash on the opposite side, swiftly bringing the sword left and right into the midsection of the dummy. Finally, after landing those quick slashes he pulled his katana back and with brute force he thrusted it forward into the dummy to deliver the final blow. Shintaro stood there for a moment and finally sheathed his katana.
Looking at the palm of his hand he chuckled in a devilish way with a look of bloodthirst in his eyes when he turned to Anna. "......." He didn't say a word, but instead he listened to the teachers next instructions. He nodded in response to what he needed to practice next. Yet another dummy appeared before him, Shintaro smirked in satisfaction. "Can't wait to.....kill someone with these techniques. I can almost taste it...so overwhelming." He tumbled those cold words, his eyes looked as cold as the ice in a freezer. He positioned himself once more, but this time he needed to successfully land some Tai blows before dealing the final one. He chuckled and dashed the dummy once more and right as his left foot stepped right in front of the dummy, maybe a few inches away, Shintaro swung his right his into the dummys jaw and he did the same with the left, making the dummy stumble back he grabbed the dummy and pulled himself closer to it, only to send a knee directly into it's stomach to almost paralyze it's movement by stumbling so the final blow would be successful. Shintaro swiftly unsheathed his katana and diagonally slashed the dummy and he moved so fast, slashing through the midsection of the dummy it made him slide a little further from the dummy. Sheathing his katana he turned to face his teacher.

Anna was somehow reading the mind of her student as he made one particular comment, and due to the writer of Anna being human, she broke the 4th wall without a care in the world. Though she had a perfect remark, she simply kept it to herself as she heard her student ramble on about something involving killing someone. Anna stopped her spinning motion and simply sighed as she reached for more of the scrolls tossing them towards her student.
Those two where the basics of this art we are starting with. The gimmick I use to these moves is that it can be an unlimited amount of strikes per one usage. You can use this them and do like...15 strikes swiftly in one move which is a personal advantage most don’t pick up on it. Now we move into the next set in those scrolls.
As she stood there bored. Her student was no fun, so with what she did was create a shadow clone of herself and began to duel it, her mood was slightly more happy as she fought someone who was just as strong as she was.
En garde!!
En garde!!
The original and shadow clone Anna said in unison as they drew here swords and began to duel it out. As they did, a tanto came from a tree near Shintaro-kun, to be used for one of the techniques.
