-Waits for Pekoms while carrying a crate of bananas-

Thanks again ^^

As Yuri stands idly, with a crate of bananas in tow, he'll soon find that he's not alone. Indeed, behind him, in a tall tree, is none other than Koumei, whom sat silently by as he observed the strange young man. With a leisurely flick of his left index finger, Koumei created a nearly invisible chakra thread. Though several meters away, he no issue stealthily attaching the thread to one of the many yellow bananas that caught his attention. With yet another gesture, he retracted the chakra thread with a fresh banana now in his left hand. Waiting to see how the banana man would react, Koumei called out: "Yo, what's the deal with all these bananas? Are you a farmer or do you have some sort of banana fetish?"

Waiting for his teacher Yuri suddenly sees a banana being snatched from his crate by what appears to be a wire of chakra, startled by it he turns around and looks upward noticing Koumei sitting in the tree. "Who's ther-.. Oh, it's you glad you could make it" Yuri then looks down to the crate he's holding as Koumei makes a comment on it and he simply looks back up towards him with a slightly awkward expression. "Erhh-.. I guess I just like bananas?"

Responding to Yuri's awkward expression and statement, Koumei smirked and said: "Well, what you choose to do with those bananas is at your discretion. Of course, since it sounds like you do, in fact, have a fetish for them, I will make sure to not eat any of them." His face now expressionless, he looked intently upon the young man before him; the man whom would likely become his student. "So, I am the one and only Monkey Shishou, and I do have the capacity to teach you, but first, I have a few inquires that necessitate both honesty and bluntness on your part. First, are you familiar with the Summoning Technique (generic) and learned how to use it? Second, what does a summoning mean to you, in your own words? Third, I want to know why, in particular, you seek the Monkey Contract. Lastly, describe yourself with just three different adjectives. These few questions are quite important; choose your words carefully."

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

You need to decide which of your current contracts you will drop.

Overall, how long do you see yourself with the Monkey Contract?

Do you have any particular concerns regarding our training regimen right now?

"Well-.. if you're not gonna eat it can I have that one back?" Yuri says whilst pointing at the banana in Koumei's hand. "Though, to get to the matter of hand-.. I am quite familiair with the summoning technique as I am a long-time signer of the snake contract and thus have experience in fighting alongside of summoned animals. To me, a summoning means more than simply summoning an animal to do your bidding-.. the key is mutual respect between the summoner and the summoned and never to use your partner in combat as a shield as it's the summoner's responsibility to keep his summon from harm if they are unable to do so themselves. Other then that it's all about coordination just as you would when fighting alongside another shinobi and knowing when to summon which summoning animal. I seek the monkey contract as I feel like it's best suited towards my personal way of fighting, I suppose I can relate to their close combat capabilities being a specialist in such combat myself aswell as their innate ability to transform into weapons much stronger than regular ones allowing me to coordinate my actions to the best of my ability. Ofcourse, I suppose we also share our love for-.. bananas! As for your final question, the three adjectives I would use to describe myself are, loyal, determined and-.. observant."

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

I see myself using the monkey contract for a long period of time, most likely won't ever drop it unless a much better contract, better suited for me comes my way but in that case I would drop the snake contract first. I'm planning on focusing custom-wise on the creation of several custom monkey summons and already have a few ideas though those are still ideas and need to be worked out >_> but yeah, I'm actually excited about the contract and if it works out the way I plan I'll stick with it for the rest of my RP career.

And nope, no questions so far o/

Crushing the banana in the palm of his left hand, Koumei tossed it aside as he looked his new student in the eyes. "Nope, there's neither time for bananas nor animal stereotypes! Putting aside your banana fetish, for the moment, I must admit your answers were generally acceptable. Now, I do have a followup question, which is: what is your fighting style? It's always nice to meet an enthusiast for the Monkey Contract; it's just a matter of this session, then you'll be able to summon monkeys freely!" No longer speaking, Koumei instead removed a large scroll from within his robe. "Well, this is the scroll that contains all the signers of the Monkey Contract. I need you to draw a bit of your own blood, just enough to write your name out, with the hand you'll tend to perform the summoning technique with. Once you've signed the contract, we can move onto the next and most exciting phase: techniques!" With care, Koumei moved to open the scroll in front of his person, facing his student. On the scroll, at least four names could already be seen written in blood, from right to left (oldest to most recent): Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koumei Ren, Kirikoe Katsuryoku, Ryuu.

"As a Hyuuga my fighting style revolves mostly around the usage of Gentle Fist, though I enjoy combining it with strong fist taijutsu aswell as weapon based techniques and I feel with the right coordination I could, together with a monkey partner be an unstoppable force!" Yuri then faces the scroll "Now, lett's see-.." Yuri positions himself before the scroll and brings his right hand thumb towards his mouth, placing it between his teeth biting into it to draw some blood from it and then proceeds to place the thumb down on the next free space located on the scroll and swipes it down while drawing a kanji depicting his own name "Yuri Lowell". "Yosh, that should do"

With a chuckle, as Koumei observes his newest student finish adding his name to the contract, he deftly grabs the contract scroll and conceals it, once again, in his robes. "Splendid. Now, since you've just prior signed the Monkey Contract and aren't properly acquainted with it quite yet, I want you to perform the generic summoning technique. Once you've actually gotten your feet wet with the contract, then and only then, shall I let you meet the 'boss'. As you may recall, you'll need to smear some blood on the hand you signed the contract with and then perform the following sequence of hand-seals: Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram, before placing the very same on the ground near your person and releasing the chakra. Unlike with your other contract, whatever it may be, your goal will be to envision their physical characteristics and behavior, just as you proceed to initiate the summoning technique. The little guy/girl won't be particularly strong, but that's not to say they aren't useful. Now, go ahead and give it a shot, okay?"

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

Key to truly utilizing the contract is dialogue between you and the monkeys. Dialogue, got it?!?

Remember, you can summon monkeys with the generic summoning. Refer to above and below.

You'll be performing the following technique. Read it carefully, please (especially bolded bits).

"Alright, let's do it!" Yuri brings his right hand thumb to his mouth, biting into it drawing some blood from it and then Yuri brings both his hands together, weaving a string of hand seals [Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram] and finally he slams his right hand palm down onto the ground upon which a sealing formula seemingly spreads out with his hand in the epicenter. Whilst preparing the summoning technique Yuri cleared his mind of futile thoughts and solely focused on both the physical aswell as behavioral characteristics of the monkey species. And as the sealing formula appeared it was quickly followed by a small puff of smoke upon which a small monkey appeared before Yuri, looking at him with curious eyes. "Hello there little guy, what's your name?" Yuri approached the monkey, holding out his hand towards him, talking to the little guy but he didn't seem to understand human speech that well. "Guess you're not the talking type huh? Oh well, I'm Yuri nice to meet ya'"

Excuse my-.. tardiness o-o quite busy with work, it kills me T^T

And yeah, got it.

As Koumei observed his new student, Yuri-kun, correctly perform the Summoning Technique, the subsequent cloud of smoke dispersed to reveal a young monkey. Though pleased with the results of the summoning technique, he was somewhat perturbed by the lack of dialogue exchange between his student and the newly arrived monkey. "Crucial to any summoning contract is proper communication." Swiftly weaving a sequence of hand-seals: Dog → Hare → Snake → Ram, Koumei directs a moderate amount of chakra towards Kirikoe, which affects his student's nervous system via chakra distortion. The moment the illusion is induced, Koumei will disappear from sight as several bean vines emerge from the ground around and beneath Yuri to complete restrict movement. To complete the illusion, a bean pod rises up and reveals what appears to be Koumei, himself, even though he hasn't moved at all. From that illusionary representation of Koumei, the following statement is made: "So, what will you do now, my newest pupil?!? Do not disappoint me with half-baked tactics! Should you complete this task, you will become a true student!"

What uses may a generic monkey summoning have?

You can give names/personalities to the generic monkeys.

It's perfectly understandable to be busy in RL. I know too.

Upon seeing you seemingly disappear Yuri is somewhat confused by what just happened before him, normally he would recognize this as an illusion but his mind wasn't focused on such matters at the time and before he could come up with an answer vines emerge from the ground around him wrapping tightly around his body lifting him up after which you reappear before him in a large bean pod. Yuri then looks towards the monkey "Help me out here!" at that moment the monkey revealed it's true identity-.. much to Yuri's surprise. "First, you will address me as Azuki-san, second-.. snap out of it!" upon saying the last half of her sentence the relatively small monkey jumps towards Yuri and clobbers him across the face, the impact releasing him from the illusion. "Ah-.. it was just an illusion after all, thanks Azuki!" the monkey just crossed her arms and looked away from Yuri "Hmpf, it's not like I wanted to help you or anything" somewhat dumbfounded by her reaction Yuri just smiled awkwardly, realizing he just summoned quite the tsundere.

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

I guess a generic monkey summoning can only do freeform based attacks and thus I'd have to describe the monkey's actions in detail to get the best use out of it. Other then that there's not much a generic monkey is capable of as they don't have any special-.. characteristics compared to more complex animals.

Pekoms · Mar 19, 2015

"Oh, well done! I apologize for the spontaneity of that particular 'demonstration', shall we call it. Of course, there was meaning to my actions, which can be summed up as: never underrate a resource, especially one as intelligent as a monkey! You said summonings necessitated 'mutual respect between the summoner and the summoned', which is most certainly true. Great! Now, your summonings can be used for more than illusion-dispersing. They can be a second set of ears and eyes, or serve well as varied means of distractions in the midst of combat. Now, then, I suppose it's time to reveal the boss of the monkeys! First, I will summon him, myself. His name is Enma and I want you to take note of his abilities and characteristics before actually summoning him, yourself. Consider this a 'Meet and Greet'; proper honorifics should thus be used." Without further ado, Koumei bit his right thumb and proceeded to summon Enma, right in front of Yuri. "Allow me to introduce the two of you, to one another. Enma-san, this young man before you, Yuri-kun, has decided to sign the esteemed Monkey Contract and wishes to make your acquaintance. He shows promise in the career of a ninja and your skills can be of great service. Now, my student, do you have anything you wish to ask him?" Koumei proceeded to sit down and wait for his pupil to reply, accordingly, in turn.

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

It is true that they lack poison and the like, but what makes them truly unique amongst summonings is their uncanny resemblance to humans. Adachi once said that they function very much like a shadow clone, because you can describe their movements in much the same manner as you would describe the movements of your bio.

Your post was very good. ^^

I'm sorry for the delay in replying.

"Erhh-.. it's okay, I guess and yes-.. that was quite a head on demonstration" Yuri then observes you as you perform the summoning ritual, summoning the king of the monkeys, Enma. For a split second Yuri observes Enma's distinguished appearance, truly befitting that of a king before bowing his head as a sign of respect and proceeds to speak to him. "Enma-sama, my name is Yuri Lowell and I would be honored if you would bestow your blessing upon me and I promise-.. no, I swear to treat your kin as if they were my own" Yuri then raises his head slightly, looking towards Enma with an awkward expression as he proceeds with his next question while making a gesture towards the crate he brought with him "Could I-.. offer you a banana?"

Cool, thanks u-u

Pekoms · Mar 24, 2015

Initially impartial to the introduction, Koumei's blank facial expression quickly shifted to one of disgust, once he heard his pupil's last question. With absolutely no lag in response, he deftly slid a kunai with an attached explosive tag from his right sleeve and cast it away with such force, that the distance between his person and the barrel full of bananas was passed in an instant. The thud that resonated from the kunai striking the barrel was quickly dwarfed by the thunderous explosion that followed. Looking Yuri in the eyes with dark intent, Koumei spoke just three words: "No. More. BANANAS!" Following Koumei's words, Enma said: "Hmph! The stereotype doesn't suit my palate; a barrel full of bananas is something only lesser monkeys would enjoy, certainly not someone such as myself. Regardless of your naïveté, the only thing left to say is that your merit can only truly be measured in combat. Always be wary and never let emotions lead your decisions astray." With Enma evidently done with the introduction, Koumei sat down and at the same time had Enma 'dispel' with a puff of smoke. "Once again, it's my turn to speak, so let's cover Enma's strengths now. The first thing you should've observed, aside from his being a monkey, is his actual figure. He's a hulking brute, no? Undoubtedly, Enma's most defining qualities are his strength and speed. He's physically our superior and could break either of our necks with but a single hand. Exacerbating his already remarkable lethality, though, Enma is able to use the bulk of mainstream physical attacks labelled as taijutsu. Moreover, he's significantly faster than either of us, which means his assaults will come quicker, as so too will his reflexes. The last 'strength' I'd like to mention, is also perhaps the most underrated. Enma is fairly old, but he has a particularly keen mind. He's fully capable of serving as an adviser of sorts and you should not hesitate to defer to his instincts or statements when issues arise. Finally, with all of the aforementioned qualities laid out before you, I just wanna say that Enma is truly a great partner overall."

"Yuri-kun, my student, now is the moment you've truly been waiting for. Now, I want you to personally summon Enma to your side. As you probably noticed, there're no hand-seals needed to call the King out, but you still need some blood. Having already met him, you should also be able to readily recall his general appearance and what not, which means concentrating on summoning him forth shouldn't be overly difficult. Summon him and we will proceed."

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

The technique used to summon Enma is the very same technique I posted previously. Like the vast majority, if not all summonings, the range in which he may be called forth is limited to short-range. Even so, that does not mean that Enma must stay within short-range of you, as he can move freely once he's been summoned to the field (any range).

Roy · Mar 29, 2015

"Hehe'-.. sorry about that!" as Koumei sends Enma back in a puff of smoke Yuri closely listens to the words his teacher had to say before nodding once, understanding what he had to do next. Yuri then turns his attention to the small monkey who still stood near him, appearing quite impatient "You may go now Azuki, thanks again!" the small monkey then disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Alright, let's do this!" Yuri bites his thumb and molds his chakra whilst weaving the string of hand seals required for the summoning technique before slamming his palm down onto the ground. However, in the split second while Yuri slams his palm down he solely focused on the image of Enma, a strong-looking monkey appearing rather distinguished with several gray dots of hair, donned in an attire similair to that of a ninja and the moment Yuri's palm connects with the ground a white puff of smoke appears, Yuri anxiously looking towards it to see if he had been succesful in his attempt to summon the monkey king.

Silently spectating the summoning process, Koumei immediately discerns the arrival of Enma from with the white smoke. Drawing blood once again from the thumb of his right hand, instead of visualizing Enma, he instead opted for an old friend: Amon. "As you'll soon come to see, Enma does have his strengths, but also his weaknesses (readily exploitable characteristics). Prepare yourself!" Without waisting another second, Koumei released a large amount of chakra and proceeded to call forth Amon, through space-time, to assist him in his teaching. "Welcome to the playground, Amon. Before your very eyes is Yuri-kun, one of our most recent additions to the signers' list." In response to Koumei's words, Amon replied with: "I take it this will be no different from the others?" Listening to his friend speak, Koumei couldn't resist a smirk. "Indeed, by now you're quite familiar with the routine." No longer speaking, Koumei made just a single hand-seal before releasing a portion of his chakra out towards both Kirikoe and Enma. Immediately upon having their nervous systems disrupted by the foreign chakra, they'll be induced to an illusion in which all is pitch-black to their eyes. "Right, first up for Enma's weaknesses: genjutsu! Obviously Enma is quite capable, but what if he were induced especially to a binding illusion? You see, Enma has no capacity to use most ninjutsu, basic or elemental. His only means of escape from an illusion is via injuring himself, or getting assistance from you, yet there's the possibility of both of you being induced to one or more illusions. Figure out how to disperse the illusions!"

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

Enma is a close-quarter-combat specialist, boasting incredible raw power and speed. Still, there are foes to be wary of whom also are considered such. In no particular order, they are: Raikage bios (3rd/4th), Tsunade/Sakura/Hashirama bios (also boasting as much phsyical might), and Kaguya bios (as you can probably understand). Keep them in mind! Also, be wary against adversaries whom attempt to maintain a distanced fight, namely people seeking mid/long-range engagements. Finally, as I've demonstrated, genjutsu users are a risk, depending on the technique or user's skill.

Any questions regarding strengths/weaknesses?

Upon being cast into an illusion Yuri listens to his teacher's explanation, having caught both Yuri and Enma within the illusion. Yuri then simply smirks and withdraws a single kunai, stabbing it into the palm of his hand albeit not very deep it is sufficient to break Yuri out of the illusion. "Well, I'm not planning on having Enma-sama harm himself over something like this" Yuri then walks over to Enma and weaves a single handseal before placing his index finger on Enma, sending a surge of chakra into him to free him from the illusion. "This could indeed prove troublesome in actual combat-.." Yuri then reaches into his pouch and withdraws a roll of bandages wrapping it around the palm of his injured hand.

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

Strengths/weaknesses are pretty clear but the illusion part could be trouble when summoning Enma =/

Pekoms · Apr 18, 2015

⫷ RP Segment ⫸

Listening intently to all that his student said, Koumei contemplated it all, before nodding his head in agreement. "Earlier I'd said that Enma had an inability to use the vast majority of ninjutsu techniques, however, that implies that there are some that he can use. In regards to transformation technique, your current partner happens to have his own unique transformation technique. If you wish to properly use Enma's strengths to your advantages, you must be prepared to utilize his technique to its fullest extent. Now, Enma-san, please show your new partner, Yuri-kun, what differentiates you from other summonings, bar others of your own kind (customs)." In response to Koumei's request, Enma glanced towards Yuri and spoke: "Fine, I'll transform now, but you better catch me once it's complete, greenhorn." As soon as Enma had concluded his words, he disappeared in a puff of smoke, only to reveal an adamantine staff! Perhaps two meters in the air, the staff began to slowly twirl towards Yuri's person. "Bukijutsu! Bukijutsu! Know it! Oh, and I'd listen to Enma, if I were you..", was all Koumei said, with a smirk. Amon, standing to the right of Koumei, snorted.

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

The adamantine staff is essentially indestructible, but Enma prior to transforming is not. Moreover, you can't use the staff to freeform block ranked techniques (bar taijutsu and kenjutsu), which means you'll still need to counter or defend/evade. That all being said, his monkey form is immune to low-level taijutsu and ninjutsu techniques (D/C). Of course, also take note that the staff can freely extend short to long-range, without expending a move. To a lesser extent (short/mid-range), this freeform extensibility also applies to when Enma has his limbs or whatever emerge.

I am nearing the end of my semester, so I've been and will be quite busy.

Technique to refer to:

Roy · May 3, 2015

As Yuri watches Enma transform into the adamantine staff a wide grin is formed across Yuri's face "Awesome!" Yuri says before catching Enma in his weaponized form. Holding the staff within his right arm whilst Yuri slides his left foot forward, moving his left hand forward aswell whilst moving the staff to his backside, still holding it within his arm in a diagonal fashion. "Heh', this suits me just fine"

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

Pekoms · May 9, 2015

⫷ RP Segment ⫸

Witnessing Enma transform, and Yuri-kun proceeding to catch the adamantine staff, Koumei inclined his head in acknowledgement. "Nice, so far, everything has gone according to plan. The next phase is simple; I just want to make sure you can properly wield the staff via freeform bukijutsu.Amon, monkey see, monkey do." With a grimace, as if he'd been physically pained by Koumei's words, Amon complied with a puff of smoke. Unlike Enma's transformation, though, the weapon to emerge was an adamantine bisentō. With no apparent effort, Koumei deftly caught the adamantine weapon in his right hand. Manifesting his mouth along the bisentō, Amon spoke: "If it were anyone else, I'd have reduced even their bones to ash." Koumei replied in turn, with: "Well, what you do with others is of little interest to me." Drawing his gaze away from his bisentō, Koumei looked towards his young pupil with a new level of intensity. "Defend and counterattack!" roared Koumei, as he swiftly brought his adamantine bisentō down in a powerful, vertical slash. At the same moment Koumei began to move the bisentō, Amon adjusted his length so as to reach Yuri-kun and Enma, whom were both 2 meters away, in front. Failure to properly defend would result in a deep laceration.

⫷ OOC Segment ⫸

Remember, unlike Amon's transformation, Enma's lacks a blade of any sort. All attacks utilizing the staff should be described as 'strikes' or 'thrusts', though both are to be regarded as bukijutsu dealing 'blunt force' trauma.

With a reasonable streaming technique, it's possible to at least temporarily enhance the weapon. The nature of the technique should lend itself accordingly to the type of weapon. For example, my own bisentō can properly utilize more enhancement moves, such as: Wind Release: Vacuum Blade and Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current.

Lastly, know that even in his present state, he can have different limbs emerge to assist in battle, one way or another.
