Training the Ninja Art of Weapons! [Training/Closed]

It was time Lucifer began widening his skill set when it came to the ninja arts. His focuses lately have been concentrated purely on Ninjutsu and Senjutsu but there were definitely other arts of that that he could benefit from learning and training. Today would in fact be dedicated to taking the next step in mastering the art of using weaponry or known to most ninja simply as Bukijutsu. Although it was not often that Lucifer had resorted to using a weapon in combat, him purely having the skill to take on a master in the heat of battle would surely help to defend himself in the future. The Jugo man would make his way to the training grounds wielding a freshly purchased Wakizashi and about one hundred traditional kunai being carried in a large sheet of material being used as a bag. Today he would focus purely on the traditional Bukijutsu and seeing as how Kunai was the most prominent weapon in the ninja arsenal he was going to be using several of them in his training session... Making his way to the training ground capable of withstand the force of higher ranking ninja he would start by placing the bag on the ground in front of him before first grabbing two of the hundred kunai in his possession. It was time to began his training...

Lucifer would began flipping the blades in his hand before catching them mid air. Both of the blades would be positioned into his handa facing two different directions one facing outward or fowarda and the other one inward or backwards. He would then raise both of his arms to his chest repositioning both of his to cover any of the vital parts of his midsection. This was a traditional stance used my most taijutsi fighters allowing them to alleviate the possible places an opponent could strike without them being able to respond or counter quickly. Turning and facing a training dummy the Jugo would rush forward with a quick burst of speed using the kunai facing backwards, Lucifer would administer a quick and power horizontal slash. Not wasting any time, Lucifer would use the remaining kunai facing forward to administer a second attack just as speedy as the last, the only difference this time would be that the slash would now follow a verticle movement. Due to the durability of the dummy and the strength used by Lucifer, both of the kunai would suffer from this assault. Once returning to his normal positioning, Lucifer would notice that both of the kunai had bent during the assault. The training dummies in particular part of the village were phenomenal maybe even ninja capable of becoming the Raikage were meant to train here, or so the Jugo boy had thought.

In any case the current kunai he had now were useless, Lucifer had been happy he had chosen to bring multiple copies this would allow him to go all out if he would want. Placing the two bent Kunai to the side he would continue his training by grabing more kunai, to be exact this time he would only grab one. He would think it best to try a different style of attacking this time. First it was the typical slashing motion. This time he would be interested in using a piercing motion, this is wherw the true strengths of the kunai would shine. The tip of these weapons tended to be sharp then the rest of the bladed angles. Normally one woild expect this part of the weapon to also be the weakest but if used correctly, even the greateat weakness could be used as a strength. The key factor in avoiding the same bending effect of the kunai against the dummy as the last time would be to adminster a more focused point of impact administering and even greater explosive speed and power. Lucifer himself had several ways in boosting the power of this attack he was going to try but at very moment he would only want to stick to attacks in his base state.

[3/7]

Keeping the thought of sticking to his base state in his mind he would commence the assault against the dummy once again. Using the same speed as before Lucifer in mid sprint would grab the kunai with both of his hand cocking his left shoulder backwards before propelling it forward with great force boosted by the steadiness of the right hand. This motion would allow for both of his arms gripping the kunai to thrust deeply into the metal frame of the training dummy, and similar to the last assault the kunai would once again bend but unlike the last time a clear dent where the tip of the kunai had made contact was apparent. His hypothesis was correct if using an ample amount of speed and power would be enough to push the envelope against the normal standards of the tip of the kunai in comparison to the rest. This was indeed an interesting and informative assault even though he had already guessed the intial outcome correctly there was and will always be a great satisfaction when anything you put into practice comes to fruition. Even though Lucifer was learning about using kunai on a greater level than before the young Jugo male still needed to use the stuff he had been praticing in a somewhat pratical battle...

[4/7]

Lucifer had come up with idea to do just that! Use his newly formed attacks in a pratical battle with the odds stacked somewhat against him. The only way he could do this currently was to summon a shadow clone to assist him in his endeavors. The clone would already know what Lucifer had planned to do so this would force him to have to try something new. To think on the spot to respond to a dangerous situation. In any case the Wakizashi he had also brought with his was meant to be used as a tool for the clone while the real Lucfier was only allowed to defnd himself with two simple kunai. This would not be that much of a difficult feat for most ninja as it was something plently of ninia before him had to deal with but to make this more difficult on himself Lucifer would allow the clone to use Sage Transformation to slightly boost its physical abilities above the original. It was going to be a difficult experince but Lucifer had thought out this training situation meticulously and knew his limits and what he waa capable of handling. It was now time to clear his thoughts and began his quick but difficult spar against his very own shadow clone...

[5/7]

Lucifer would first start by using the Summoning Jutsu to summon the clone in front of him. The clone had already known what its purpose was at this moment and would pick up the Wakizashi laid buried in the pile of kunai. The original Lucifer would once again discard the bent kunai he used to pierce the training dummy before grabbing two new kunai for the final time today. Leaping back to gain some distance before starting the small spar, Lucifer would enter the same position he had earlier that helped him alleviate the areas his opponents could strike. Although he would not remain in it for long, when facing an opponent of a stronger standing it is best to strike first. Allowing them to gain control of the battle could be fatal in most cases. Lucifer. Would once again start by using the kunai facing back to adminster a horizontal slash just as he had done against the dummy. But this time he would keep the second kunai near his chest in case he needed to protect himself. Just as he thought the clone would leap backwards as it had predicted horizontal slash, this was to be expected. The clone would then continue its own assault by slashing downwards onto the original Lucifer with basic vertical slash attack with the Wakizashi blade. Now was the opportunity the original Lucifer had needed...

[6/7]

Lucifer would rush to capitalize on the mistake of the clone infront of him. Using the kunai he had saved up to protect himself, Lucifer would angle the blade sideways allowing him to counter the downwards slash. By applying a opposing strength greater than that of the clone, Lucifer would cause the clone to stumble backwards giving him the opening he needed to finish this. Flipping the kunai in his hand that was onced turned away from his target to point towards it, Lucifer would thrust his arm forward aiming at piercing strike to center of the clones chest, the resulting assault and impact would be enough to case the clone to disperse into a cloud of white snoke dropping blade it held therefore sending it to the ground. In addition the acquired information gained by the clond would back to the original for future use. All together this had been a succesful training session. Lucifer had been able to put his trainings into practice even if was only truly against himself it was still good knowledge to have for the future. In fact he feel he had learned alot and was not capable of taking on a higher caliber of technique one had first needed to master the basica before moving onto the more challenging arts or weaponry. In anycase this was all the time he would have today. Lucifer would grab all the weaponry he had originally brough with him and returned it to the bag he had brought and set off to his next adventure of the day. This would not be the last time the Jugo boy trained in the art of Bukijutsu.
