[CFS] Skål

[Zaphkiel]

Yosamu arrives at the designated training grounds: an abandoned forge filled with soot and old metal long cold and deformed from the absence of their smiths.

The Uchiha sits in the center of this old, brick place where the roof had caved in many years back and a lazy orange sun beam spilled inside. He awaits his Sensei patiently.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Patches of grass emerged from beneath the stone tiles here and hither. From the broken entrance Amaimon made his entrance, also known as the Bearded Sage, in many a tales told about his entity.

Before him sat an Uchiha, despite his hate towards the Dojutsu users, he had seen pousible potential within this one in peculiar. He slid down his hood, and unbuttoned his cloak. He leaned against the half-standing wall.

''Record time.. Well, faster than I atleast. I'm...'' Checking his non-existent watch, and with a glare at the sun's position - ''... Let's keep it at late.'' Awkward icebreaker.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Yosamu's brow quirked. It appeared the man was speaking in mere clauses.

"You are the Bearded Sage, right?" He asks, already thinking he had probably met the wrong person.

He shifts his body slightly to retrieve a scroll and throw it to the weird Sensei. Inside the scroll was the all the information needed on him such as his name, training, history etc. Hopefully this would speed up the introductory phase.

"We have much to discuss."

''Right, the one and only, tihihi'' O^O

As you tossed the scroll a patch of grass would loose it's flora and colour, however despite all natural means it would extend by high speeds as it gains a much more vibrant colour similiar to the sensei standing before him. It would grab the scroll, and steadily unfold it before Amaimon allowing him to decipher it, without any physical effort whatsoever.

''Soo... Yosamu Uchiha. Right, right.'' His eyes gaze down the list and mumbles beneath his breath. ''Check... check... check..''

He looks up.

''What's there to discuss?''

 

[Zaphkiel]

"I'm here for tutelage under your hand. More specifically, your infamous fighting style which has earned you that very name. I've traveled miles to get to this place, and I've been steeling myself for years for this opportunity."

His hands tensed around his folded knees. A gentle breeze blows between the old metal pipes with a faint whistle. He speaks again,

"I don't plan on leaving here empty handed."

"I don't plan on leaving here empty handed."

He could sense the seriousity within this one. He was determined, and his devotion seemingly never-fading.
''We will do as agreed.'' His sensei had lost his expression, and his voice monotone. ''What you see here.'' The scroll swirls in the strands of grass and is tossed aside ''Is one of the simple things you will gain access to.''

He pushed off the wall, and started to circle the Uchiha. Looked up and down real good. His eyes flickered slightly. ''What do you know the Dance?''

 

[Zaphkiel]

Yosamu watches keenly as the capable Sensei circled him. He was very impressed with the way the man seemed to have control over the grass

Could this be a glimpse of the Dance of the Bearded Sage?

He keeps his cool and responds in a manner that betrays the excitement brimming at his chest.

"The Dance. The ballad of fists and steel. The way of thinking, not just for peace but for war. I am all too familiar with the Shinobi's Dance, Beareded One. But as it pertains to your style, I know nothing, which is why I'm here."

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

''Well versed in the way of speech, I give you that. Nonetheless - *The grass twirls around regaining it's normal colour revealing itself to be strands of hair.* The style pertains to the usage of your hair follices which you by aiding with chakra, causes to abnormally grow. The hair created can be anything you like, from hard enough to penetrate concrete, to the point that it would bend and break against your toenail, and less. It goes to the point of even being able to camouflage it, as you saw just before..''
*Simualtaneously as explaining he performs the examples given with the strands of grass.*
''It's difficult to learn, yet once it have been done, you will find it quite easy coming. First and foremost, any Questions? If not, we shall proceed.''

 

[Zaphkiel]

In all honesty Yosamu was shocked beyond words. When he had learned of the style's name he had disregarded it as a mere metaphor but to know that it was actually his beard being manipulated...

However, something still bugged him...

"You explain that it is your hair being manipulated, and that it can be camouflaged, but i'm pretty sure that's grass you're manipulating. Does the style go beyond just hair?"

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

''Well, I'm quite certain it's hair.'' <_<

*Ît retracts back into the ground, and snake-alike emerges from around my feet and vanishes beneath my trousers as they return into my hair follices.*

''Well, anyway. It Style stays at that, but I'm sure it can be further developed as we advance through the ranks. Say when you're ready, and we shall begin the basics.''

 

[Zaphkiel]

*ignores the trouser invading serpent*

"Uhm, yes. I'm ready to begin the basics."

I hope I am.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

*A bowl of interbraided branches of hair form in a hemi-sphere beneath you, as if you were a giant inside a small walled city.*

''Right, as always, meditate is the key to the beginning. Unless you're EIGing. z.z But you're not, LOL. NO! OKAY, Okay, okay... Allow me to examplize for you.''

*Itachi-pokes your head. Removes finger, but while moving a strand of wild hair growing from your forehead follows my finger.*

''A simple input of chakra here and there, and you're good to go. But considering the microscopic sizes of this, it becomes difficult at first. When you understand the first, the rest will come to you easily enough. But for now, mediate it. Elaborate on it once you're done.''

 

[Zaphkiel]

Providing his hair was already apart of his body, Yosamu had no problems imagining it as extension of his chakra system as much as any weapon or object. That being said he attempted to channel chakra into the biggest set of hair he could focus on first, the ones on his head. Arguably difficult at first, it was like channeling chakra into into one's fingernail- although it's already connected to you, spanning a broad and volatile energy source such as chakra into such small vessels proved quite the feat.

In the end all Yosamu could manage was an extra tuft of hair to spring before his forehead in a sort of spontaneous growth. He quickly brandished a kunai and snipped it.

"[COLOR="B2222"]I can't explain it, but it's like flowing the water from a dam through a small pipe. If that makes any sense.[/COLOR]"

He stares at the spot where the hair had climbed up his sensei's pants. As if any of this makes sense

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

True. Good. Now hone this ability for abit, focus first on your hair, then try the facial bits, and move on the more difficult parts.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Sending chakra to the tiny beard hairs on my chin I willed a small clump to grow like that of a goat's. I then proceed to stroke my new beard while appearing very philosophical.

Next I focused on my thin forearm hair, and poured a tad bit of chakra through them to have them stiffen like blades--similar to the gauntlets on Batman's suit. I did the same for my leg hair, which tore my pants to shreds but was worth it.

The most difficult part was the non - existent hairs on my chest (z.z) I had to focus chakra to the spot rather than the hair itself to cause a sufficient amount to grow. Now I was looking more manly.

"Check, check, and check. Next."

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

<_> Ok. Good, good. Basic learnt.

Description: This technique can be seen as the basic manpulation technique in this ''branch''. By manipulation one's hair the user is capable of growing it as it pleases. Make it as sharp, hard, soft, long, short. This technique can be used in many possible ways, such as causing one's hair to go underground and erupt from the ground beneath the opponent. Vines may also be used to create pre-existing hair sources.
Note: S-ranke version can only be used 3 times, with a 2 turn cooldown period in between usages while the ranks below are unlimited.

Let's move to the next. Don your limbs in a puff of hair, much akin to a poodle.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Sending chakra to his limbs Yosamu willed a slick armor of hair to cover his arms and legs. Shiny but durable, these hairs were wailing about in the air to give the appearance of a monster.

"And now what?"

 

[Akasha]

Everything understood!!!!!

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Well.. Okay. Playful Trickster isn't really a give away. Let's start on that. Now, I don't know about your RL growth of hair, around your body - But the natural exhibit of hair that is on your arms, around this amount;

Above shown pictures, carry the amount of hair required to activate Playful Trickster. Activation of the technique makes these hair slippery, and is able to cushion damage and divert it elsewhere cause Chakra. Don't see this technique as a hinderance, but as a surprise defense.

*Activates EIG, 5th Gate.*

*Throws a haymaker at your right shoulder.*

Elaborate on the result.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Ewww. Look at them hairy hands o-o

Well, based on how I've described the technique and your confirmation I'd say the punch, no matter how boosted would simply deflect from my body, sliding along the slick hair as if it was greased.

In the end of the punch you'd find yourself facing either behind me or to my side as your attack was pushed by/or away from me.
