[Ninjutsu]-with Akihiko

- Start date
It was yet another quiet day, but I had a lot to do, so I began with simply glancing at the scrolls on the very top of my list. It seemed that I had to go through, but life only continued, and with each and every experience, my knowledge would not diminish, but only grow.
He regarded me with a simple, yet acknowledging gaze as I arrived upon the training field. In a slightly relaxed position, but with a clear eagerness for learning, I spotted him standing upon a rock, his left leg placed upon a stump, where an old tree had been recently chopped down.
"Hello," I greeted, offering him an awkward smile. I was always terrible around people. I don't even know how I became friends with Chouji and Ino. "My name is Shikamaru, and I'll be your teacher today."
He remained silent, clearly waiting for me to continue. I wrung my hands, attempting to hide my nervousness, but it was no use.
"Well, eh, first tell me why you want to learn Ninjutsu. It's a very complicated, yet creative art."

Hey there -smiles back awkwardly-
Do you want a cookie -holds out one-
I want to learn Ninjutsu because, like you said it's a creative art. It's also useful in situation like a fight.
"I want to learn Ninjutsu because, like you said it's a creative art. It's also useful in situation like a fight," he replied.
I frowned, contemplating his sentence. "We learn in order to fight," I said. "What kinds of Ninjutsu do you know of and how would you use it if you were battling right now?"
I wasn't really hungry, but I accepted the cookie anyways. "What flavor might it be?" I questioned.

"Hm," I responded. "Well then, we should start with the basics."
I spread out several ninja tools before me, running my eyes over them before deliberately selecting one.
"This is a kunai," I explained, hefting the tool within the palm of my hand. "It's my favorite Ninja tool."
"Here, take it and feel it for yourself. Then explain to me how you think it might work and how you would use it in a battle."

This is a Kunai. To basically put it, it's an obstacle that can be used in a battle in many different ways. What most people in a fight tend to do is through a kunai with explosive tags at their opponent. So use it to cut through minor obstacles and some channel an element to it to increase the kunai's power. For example, Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current might be channeled through the kunai to increase its cutting power and speed. Furthermore, it can simply be used to stab an opponent. In addition, there are other special kunai's, like Minato's S/T kunai for example.
Is that alright?
Hm, not bad, but let's go over what you said.
-The hole on top of the kunai definitely allows you to attach explosive tags to it. However, what else can be attached to it too?
-Channeling wind allows it to become extremely sharp while channeling lightning gives it a shocking touch.
-Say you were locked in close combat with your enemy. How would you strike him with your kunai so you can deliver an instant death?

Easy. Either fake the Opponent, and the kunai through his throat, or put them in a genjutsu and amputate their head off. Or, you could paralyze them with Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current and stab them in the heart. Or be stupid and try to stab them head on.

Nothing special really. It's good for catching opponents of guard and you can use it in combination with several katon techniques. The good thing about the shape is that unlike a kunai, the unique shape of a shuriken allows it to move in an arch shape while still aiming at the target. However, the downside is that explosive tags can't be attached to it. Shurikens and kunai's can also be reflected back to the user by using a wind jutsu.
-Good emphasis on the Katon techniques, however, how may they be used in correspondence with wires? What would be the impact?
-Actually, the shape of the shuriken allows it to be propelled faster in the air, spinning to a degree where it would be able to slice and cut through skin easily.
-Last, but not least, you can toss much more of these at once as they are lighter than kunais. What would be the impact of tossing a huge wave of them at an opponent?

Throwing one or two Shurikens wouldn't be too much of a problem for the opponent. However, throwing a huge wave of them wouldn't only cause confusion and force the opponent to defend, but it also gives an opening due to the opponent not focusing on you anymore. If the fails to counter one of the many shurikens, they could end up hurt.

You forgot my first question. ._. Sasuke used fire along with wires and Shurikens in order to empower them.
Also, good emphasis on the throwing, but you missed the key point of distraction, which allows you to know their field of vision during battle. This is very important, especially when fighting against Doujutsu users.
Okay, now, tell me how a smoke bomb works and how you plan to use them in battle.

Sorry about that hehe.. :ghehe:
Self-explanatory really. When you throw the smoke bomb on your desired location, smoke would rise. In a battle it can be used in several uses ways, for example, if you want to do a surprise attack, you could throw a smoke bomb at the user. If (s)he tries to use a jutsu to defend against it, it'll still create smoke xd. Another way to use it is to attache it to a kunai like Kakashi did against Pain. Other than that, its not much use. Oh, and right, it distracts the opponent and cause confusion upon them xd

It doesn't have any real effect on susano's. But it does have effect on Tsukuyomi and amaterasu as it requires the doujutsu user to actually see their target. It also does have effect on sharingan genjutsu
