Big Bad Bug Bodybuilding

Of course, there was another technique he wanted to try out; otherwise, such a grappling fighting style would have very little for Anzo to gain. The technique he had in mind now was one he had already discovered the capacity to use, but with which he'd had very little in the way of formal training to be able to use effectively. Now that he'd found the scroll, a surprisingly high level technique, he was likely going to be able to utilize the effect of draining an opponent's chakra much more easily, an effect somewhat similar to what his own Kikaichu were capable of doing on their own. Now, however, Anzo was going to be able to utilize the effect himself. Granted, training on a normal dummy would never have been effective, so it was lucky that Anzo had chosen the Grand Konoha Training Facility to train with instead; he'd already set the dummy to be able to give off some form of simulated chakra. The stuff wasn't any good for actually using techniques, but the energy was able to be siphoned off the way normal chakra was, which provided helpful training for most other such draining techniques, among other things.

And so, now that he'd been making full contact with the dummy, he focused on drawing out that pseudo-chakra with his hands, pulling it in like he was sucking up a drink through a straw and adding that chakra to himself, drawing it in so that he could effectively feed on the dummy, though it wasn't actually replenishing his chakra reserves. It was good enough for training at least.

OOC: 250/250 Chakra Drain

That wasn't the last technique he'd decided to train, and so Anzo slowly unwraps himself from around the dummy, and allows his body to return to normal. Thankfully, there weren't any lasting effects as far as Anzo was aware; still, he flexes his arms a little, as though making sure that all of his muscles, ligaments, and bones had gone back to their correct place. After a bit of working his fingers around, he decides he's recovered from the technique, and so he starts on his final technique to train, another high level jutsu, based partially on a technique he'd already learned before. He performs a few handseals, then uses the Rock Tool technique to create five simple shuriken for himself, although he didn't expect to need too much practice to get the technique down.

How wrong he was. Although Anzo was capable of performing handseals quickly, he wouldn't be able to make them quickly enough after throwing the shuriken, and so the first few throws fail entirely, smacking into the dummy and then falling to the ground before he could perform enough handseals to activate the jutsu. Becoming frustrated, he chose instead to perform the handseals one-handed as he readied himself to throw the last shuriken he'd made with the earlier technique, and with one final handseal, he releases the stone tool, focusing his chakra into the thrown weapon and then activating the technique to cause the one shuriken to become several in midair. Anzo sighs with relief at having finally performed the technique, and decides he's had enough training for one day, and he packs up the scrolls before leaving the training room.

THREAD EXIT

Anzo returns to the training facility, ready with a couple more techniques as well as prepared to invent new ways of utilizing his Kikaichu insects, now that he has a much larger number of insects that he can use in some rather larger swarms. This time, he's decided to focus on some more Doton techniques, especially as he seems to be getting better at chakra control thanks to his training with healing techniques; although, he supposes he hasn't actually learned to explicitly heal anyone yet, but that would require a much more carefully prepared lesson, and at the moment he was focusing on utilizing scrolls of rather more simple techniques. In any case, he opens the first of the two jutsu scrolls, having picked out the one that was an even more defensive technique compared to its original. Instead of a single wall of earth, this one was for creating multiple walls, allowing for quick, even immediate application for protection. Although the original technique would have been more precise, it seemed that this one worked with sheer brute force to make it work instead.

After focusing his Doton chakra through his feet and into the earth to start making the earth beneath his feet form to his will, he slams both hands into the ground, further pushing his Doton chakra inside and mentally thrusting his chakra upwards, dragging several walls of earth with it in front of him as the stone slides upwards, one after another, in rapid succession. Anzo breathes outwards in a huff before pulling his hands off the ground to peer around the edge of the wall and look at the number of walls he'd just made with a single application of the jutsu.

OOC: 250/250 Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Walls

The next technique had a somewhat similar concept, but with far greater focus and an even greater size of application, although he'd also trained to use a similar technique before. In a sense, while the technique for creating multiple earth style walls was for changing a specific small part of the environment in order to provide a defense, this technique was more for changing the entire environment into one more beneficial for the user. He rolls up the scroll for the wall technique and instead opens up the scroll for a technique that would allow him to completely change the environment of the rock around him. Anzo again focuses chakra through his feet into the earth, seeping it all around him and deep into the stone below, until he can feel his own earth-natured chakra permeating the earth all around him, to a greater extent than was allowed by the weaker variation of the technique. As he does so, he performs the handseals of the technique, using the focusing of the handseals to cement his control over the earth until his hands form on the last seal of the Snake, a common handseal for Earth Release techniques.

As he does so, Anzo shifts the earth all around him, causing a deep chasm to form all the way down to the concrete floor, then using that earth that was excavated to form a towering pillar that nearly reaches up to the ceiling of the training facility floor. He stops the jutsu there and gives a soft whistle, then realizes he's going to need to perform the jutsu again to return the earth to its normal state, and he quickly does so, hoping he hasn't done any kind of permanent damage to the facility.

OOC: 250/250 Earth Release: Great Moving Earth Core

Now for the final technique Anzo had wanted to train, this one did not require any scrolls; it was a technique he'd been brainstorming on his own after having seen the power of the Insect Jar technique as a defensive use of the Kikaichu, he wondered if it could possibly be used offensively to halt opponents and ensnare them in his insects, affording them no escape in the same way that the Insect Jar can be used to protect himself and others with their rapid swarming. Of course, since the Kikaichu will be swarming for an attack instead of forming a smaller defensive barrier, he'll likely have to use many more Kikaichu than normal, though he'll likely be able to keep at least a few, thanks to his terrarium.

With this in mind, he sets up a trio of dummies to act as stand-ins for a set of opponents. After moving back several meters, he focuses his attention and the orders to his insects to create a formation similar to the Insect Jar technique around the trio of dummies and to swarm into them from all sides. He extends both arms towards the dummies to point them in the correct general direction, mentally pushing a thousand of them to surround the inanimate dummies completely. It only takes a few moments before the sound of buzzing fills the air as the Kikaichu swirl around the targets in a huge dome, which would provide living targets with no avenue of escape, save for tunneling through the ground. With his right arm still pointed at the trio, fingers starting in an outstretched and open position, he suddenly clenches his fist, mentally ordering the insects to close in and swarm into the three targets, wrapping around them and then completely covering their bodies in order to fully encapsulate them.

With this training finished, Anzo sighs a bit and then lets the bugs return to him, stretching a bit before picking the scrolls back up off the ground, ensuring both are clear of any debris before he leaves the training facility.

Anzo returns to the training facility once more, looking to learn some more techniques to make himself even more capable as a ninja, and potentially even as a medical ninja, and he's come with some more medical techniques. Although these techniques he's learning to use now are somewhat simplistic, he reasons that a few more simple healing techniques would help ensure he has a good basis for what he's learning, rather than the high level techniques he's already been training to be able to use. One of the first ones is still somewhat used offensively, but it should prove useful in any event. He sets out the scroll so he can read through it, tracking on his own body the exact location of the pressure points needed for the technique to work. Afterwards, he performs the handseals and strikes his shoulders, feeling himself grow a little bit stronger. Then he does the same for his torso and then his thighs to improve the function of those muscles and nerves in those parts of the body as well, performing the same three handseals between each push on his own pressure points. A simple enough technique, but clearly effective, especially if he were to use the technique on the same part of his body multiple times, although the instructions make it clear that it should be limited exclusively to three uses, or risk heavy damage. He'll need to keep that in mind.

OOC: 100/100 Pressure Strike

He rolls that first scroll up, having completed the understanding of that technique, and he opens up the second scroll he'd brought with him, one that sounds extremely simple as far as a medical technique goes. It's quite clear, however, that the technique is only meant to deal with somewhat small ailments to a limb, and won't even heal broken skin with the medical chakra. It's still an introductory technique, normally meant to train very young ninja in the healing method, so Anzo doesn't judge it too harshly; after all, he's an adult. It's still helpful to learn the technique, and so he coats both of his palms with medical chakra, focusing on the healing process described in the scroll.

Anzo feels like he's got it fairly figured out, but then he realizes there's more, and so he opens the scroll a bit further.

OOC: 100/100 Ijutsu - Chakra Palm

As he unrolls the scroll further, it reveals that there's a roll of paper that seems to have been added onto the original technique, pressed into the scroll to keep it hidden, a technique that is something of a re-imagining of the original technique, used for more offensive purposes if a medic-nin were to be caught in a fight. Apparently, the numbing effect of the normal healing palm is also able to potentially paralyze a limb if used without the medical chakra and instead used with pure chakra. Anzo's sunglasses flash in approval as he once more focuses chakra over his palms, but this time without converting it to the healing medical chakra, and he can see how the technique can be used more offensively when he touches one of his own legs and feels the pins-and-needles sensation almost right away, making him recoil his hand away from his own leg.

"Interesting indeed..."

But with that, he feels he's done enough training for one day, so he rolls up the two scrolls and carries them back out of the training facility, armed with even more knowledge now.

OOC: 100/100 Ijutsu-Reverse Chakra Palm

THREAD EXIT

Anzo walks back into the training facility once more, carrying a single scroll this time; the other two techniques were fairly simple taijutsu techniques based on the soft physique grappling style he'd learned before, although he didn't think these techniques would be all that helpful until after he learns to make better use of his own physique. Not that it mattered much, it was really more about the principle of learning these techniques in order to apply the soft body manipulation fighting style with better mastery.

To that end, he approaches the dummy inside the forested area, though with the nearby area cleared in case he misses the target. He utilizes the same medical technique to turn his limbs much more soft and malleable, and then he swings his right arm in an arc while extending its length, slapping the dummy lightly across its head, just enough to make it loll about a little. Still, it was a useful technique for extending the range of his strikes, even if his strikes themselves weren't particularly powerful.

OOC: 100/100 Soft Body Manipulation - Surprise Whip

The next technique is a bit more of a grappling technique as well as a medical technique again, which Anzo is happy with. It gives him an option after grappling the opponent in addition to draining their chakra with his other technique. With this in mind, he approaches the dummy and makes his limbs more pliable and soft again before grabbing hold of the dummy, latching the dummy's arms and body with his own limbs and drawing his face right up to where a normal human's neck might be. Of course, with the dummy, all that's there is a bit of flesh-like material covering a layer of straw and then deeper into the body was a stake of wood to keep it upright in the ground.

Anzo focuses medical chakra over the sharpest teeth in his mouth, the canines, before firmly biting into the flesh-like covering, and he can almost feel the straw tickling over the teeth as he bites in, leaving behind the medical chakra in the skin. Then he slowly pulls off and slips his body from around the dummy's own, and watches as the medical chakra actually sticks around for a while before the chakra disappears, having no flesh to repair and then destroy again; Anzo is certain the technique would actually work to cause incessant bleeding to a real human, as it was still repairing and then destroying the fake skin covering the dummy; he'd have to try it on someone at some point to be sure, but there wasn't much chance of him using it on another ninja in Konoha. He still remembers the last spar he'd had.

OOC: 100/100 Soft Body Modification: Writhing Agony Fangs

Since the final technique would require an injury of some sort to be able to be used, Anzo figures he might as well cause some superficial damage to himself; he uses the rock tool creation technique to make himself a simple knife made of stone, then presses the sharp tip into his own left arm and lightly presses in before dragging the blade across his forearm, careful not to slice into his own muscle, but just open his own skin. It starts to bleed right away, and so he tosses away the kunai, having made just enough of a cut to require the use of the technique without actually causing enough damage to himself to make a trip to the hospital necessary.

Anzo quickly performs the three handseals, though each movement of his left hand causes him to wince slightly from the pain, but his hands glow with the green hue of medical chakra before he presses his right hand to the wound, pushing the skin together and causing the cells to grow and interconnect with one another, molding the cut closed once more and healing himself. Though the process is slow and somewhat painful and itchy, he keeps going until the wound is entirely healed, and he flexes his left arm again to see that he feels no further pain. He picks the scroll back up and walks back out of the training facility; he'll upgrade to much harder techniques tomorrow, but he needs his rest for now.

OOC: 100/100 Healing Hands

THREAD EXIT

Anzo returns to his usual floor at the grand training facility for even more training, and although he's getting a bit sick of Ijutsu training, he knows he's got to stick with it in order to get the maximum amount of benefit from his newfound appreciation of this route for training. Every time he goes looking through the technique scrolls of Ijutsu techniques, he's always surprised to find more and more that are meant to be used offensively with medical chakra rather than defensively or holistically. Not that it matters much to Anzo; these techniques also have their uses for when a medical ninja is caught in combat, and so they have their place in a medic nin's arsenal.

One of the first ones he pulls out is another variation on the Dissection Blade, one that he'd apparently missed on his first somewhat clumsy perusal through the Ijutsu techniques, and one meant to lengthen the scalpel blade for apparent use not just as a longer weapon, but also for surgeries involving larger patients, such as large animals. Regardless, having already trained the Dissection Blade to a point that it had become tangible, it's even easier to focus on putting more of his chakra into the Dissection Blade, causing the chakra blade to lengthen to a full size of six inches, which he easily uses to slip into the dummy nearby, simply cutting deep into the fake flesh until the head lolls backwards. Useful, indeed.

OOC: 100/100 Dissection Blade: Extension

The next technique was a technique within a completely different fighting style, although he'd trained in its use as well, already. This one was apparently meant to focus the strike into a downwards smash that could crater the earth, or crater an opponent's chest. Either one was useful in their own ways, of course, but Anzo decided he'd test the technique on the ground to get a feel for how much damage it could cause in a single punch. The Aburame pulls back the sleeve of the jacket covering his right arm as he focuses chakra through his arm, gathering it up until it reaches his fist, where it coalesces, ready to be used in order to enhance the power of his next strike. Then Anzo raises his fist by pulling back his elbow before dropping down and slamming his fist directly into the ground and at the same time releasing the chakra downwards to enhance the power of his punch immensely.

The single punch craters the ground underneath him, though the crater is somewhat small, but Anzo chalks it up to the fact this his strength isn't all that impressive on its own just yet anyway. He'll need to work on his strength to improve the effectiveness of the technique, but it was good to learn how to use it in any case.

OOC: 150/150 Cherry Blossom Impact

The last technique is a rather dangerous one, but an important one for any medical ninja to learn; after all, healing one's teammates or comrades is the primary mission of any medic nin, but a medic nin that falls in combat is no use to anyone, no better than a casualty themselves. To that end, Anzo had picked out one ninja scroll with a technique that he likely wouldn't use very much, but could prove extremely helpful if a situation ended up turning badly. He pulls the scroll out to be able to read it, opening it up and studying it intently for a long while. The jutsu required an extremely high degree of both skill and intellect to make it useful, as well as a little bit of foresight at the very least. While it would be necessary to study one's opponent in order to gain the necessary understanding, Anzo reasoned he wouldn't need nearly as much study to understand himself, so he creates a shadow clone of himself to help him practice.

After a few punches that caused very little damage to both himself and his own clone, thanks to his body being more resilient than it was strong, it only took a few punches before Anzo became accustomed to focusing medical chakra to a location he knew a strike was heading towards, immediately healing himself there before the attack even landed in order to withstand the attack and heal from it exceedingly quickly. With this more intense training completed, he dispels his own shadow clone before picking the scroll back up and gingerly rolling it back up, leaving the training facility and deciding that next time, he would take a little break from Ijutsu; though the bruises had healed almost before they'd even appeared, the pain still wasn't a fun experience.

OOC: 250/250 Yin Healing Wound Destruction

THREAD EXIT

Anzo comes back to the grand training facility once more, prepared to train a few more simplistic techniques that should prove somewhat helpful in various situations; no Ijutsu techniques this time, giving him a break from learning more jutsu that would require such intense focus for long periods of time, and certainly nothing that would involve causing damage to himself. The first one is somewhat similar to the clone technique, but is almost even more simple; while the clone technique would have the doppelgangers disappear after being struck, these distraction clones would stick around.

The Aburame rapidly makes the two handseals, focusing his chakra rapidly enough that the technique was nearly instant, causing ten illusionary clones to slowly rise from the ground around him, milling about at slow speed, but completely intangible. Anzo looks them over to make sure he's done the technique correctly, then simply dismisses them.

OOC: 100/100 Haze Clone Technique

The next technique should prove even more helpful for his purposes, but he needs another participant for this one, so he creates a shadow clone of himself, splitting his chakra in half. This next technique for Anzo to train is likely going to prove even more useful in future missions, providing an opening for his Kikaichu to swarm an opponent immediately while the target is unlikely to be able to react. Anzo faces his own shadow clone before quickly making the tiger handseal, too quickly for his own clone to actually see it, then points his index and middle finger directly at his shadow clone's eye, instantly freezing him in place with the temporary paralysis technique.

OOC: 100/100 Temporary Paralysis Technique

This technique allows Anzo to immediately switch to another completely different technique, this one likely to prove less useful than the paralysis technique, but it would almost definitely have its uses; while his shadow clone is locked in place, even if he's only stuck there for a moment, Anzo places his hand on top of his own shadow clone's head, gripping his own shadow clone's skull with his fingers to latch on tight so that while he's using the technique, it would take more effort for the shadow clone to try and stop Anzo from training the jutsu. Of course, since this is only training, and it's his own shadow clone, there would be no reason for his shadow clone to actually resist, but Anzo knew quite well that you train for techniques the way you would actually have to use them, not for the easiest way to train.

Immediately, Anzo enters the subconsciousness of his own shadow clone, which feels a bit odd to the genin himself; it's somewhat like looking directly into a mirror which is reflected back at a mirror, looking into an infinite hallway in two directions at once. Right away, he stops simply trying to see what his shadow clone does, and instead focuses on just extracting his own memories from the shadow clone to make sure he can do it correctly. Of course, the shadow clone being stuck with the paralysis technique makes the extraction process somewhat easier than it might normally be, but he's able to draw out a full week of his own memories from his shadow clone before he drops the technique, and allowing the shadow clone to poof out of existence. With such an interrogation technique trained, Anzo lets out a sigh; he's feeling tired all the same from training, so he leaves the training facility once more.

OOC: 250/250 Saiko Denshin (Psycho Mind Transmission)

THREAD EXIT

Anzo sighs as he comes back once more to the grand training facility; at this point, he might as well live in the building, having come in every day for quite a while now and training a few jutsu every time, until he feels like leaving. It was once again time for him to take up a few Taijutsu techniques, as he'd been watching the strange green pair again, although they had trained with some other Taijutsu styles as well, it turns out. He figured he'd start with the Strong Fist style technique he'd watched them practice with one another first, but he needs someone else to stand in. Then he gets the brilliant idea to have his bugs animate one of the human-shaped fighting dummies and essentially have it stand with the help of the insects.

After approaching the dummy and having it stand, Anzo takes up the Strong Fist stance, then slams the dummy upwards with a high kick to its neck, utilizing as much of his strength as he can to get it airborne. Once it's up, he quickly leaps after it, putting himself just underneath the dummy, following after it like the dummy is a falling leaf, and Anzo is its shadow.

OOC: 150/150 Shadow of the Dancing Leaf

Once Anzo feels like he's got the technique down well enough that he can do it successfully, he simply lets the dummy fall to the ground while Anzo himself rolls back up to a standing position once more. He's not really sure what exactly the next step would be, but the larger stranger had promised the younger one that it was important to learn, so Anzo assumed he'd have to watch them more to be able to learn the techniques they were doing afterwards.

He'd also seen them train other styles, too, so it would likely pay to learn those other styles, in case they became necessary. One of them was a style that the larger weirdo had stated would be useful for defense, and so had shown off the initial stance quite a lot, and so Anzo mimicked the stance that stranger had taken, then tenses his muscles. Even Anzo can feel that his limbs are harder, more resilient; this is definitely a useful technique to at least know.

OOC: 100/100 Body of the Bear

The final fighting style he'd watched the two practice had been completely different to both of the Taijutsu styles they'd already practiced; while it seemed like Strong Fist was focused on using speed, agility, and strength to attack an opponent and the Body of the Bear style was focused on apparently outlasting the opponent, the third style he'd watched them train had apparently been meant for an all-out power attack to quickly end a fight. While Anzo didn't find this fighting style quite as useful in concept, Anzo thought he might as well learn it. If he wanted more options, this was one of them.

Anzo takes on the stance he'd watched the larger man take, with his legs spread a bit wider than shoulder width, and then squatting low. He can feel his center of gravity slip lower, and he knows it would be harder to move him, while also grounding him for stronger hits... but he doesn't feel all that much stronger. Perhaps if he trained more, focusing on Taijutsu, he'd have a better grasp on how the style is really meant to be used, but he at least had enough understanding that he could likely use any techniques derived from the style. That was enough for Anzo for the day; he'd just come back tomorrow, after spying on those two weirdos some more...

OOC: 100/100 Arhat Fist

THREAD EXIT

Anzo returns to the training facility, ready to put some more work into Taijutsu training, if for no other reason than because just knowing the base fighting style wouldn't really be helping all that much unless he could learn some of the techniques associated with those styles. There seemed to be a lot more techniques associated with the Arhat Fist stance, although that one seemed to be the one that he was less capable with utilizing. Unfortunately, the few techniques involved with the Body of the Bear style seemed to mostly require some assistance, and although Anzo had already used his own shadow clones for some training, he didn't want to rely on it too much.

The first technique he'd been looking at was somewhat simple, but it would provide Anzo with at least a good bit of damage while still helping Anzo to close the distance with an opponent. He stands a few meters away from a training dummy, takes on the Arhat Fist stance, then quickly and suddenly lowers his right shoulder before rushing forwards to slam his shoulder straight into the dummy's torso, causing it to buck a little from the weight of his attack.

OOC: 100/100 Shoulder Charge

This technique would actually be a perfectly acceptable lead-in to the very next technique he wanted to test out, this one a simple thrust upwards with his knee. It seemed to be designed to strike the opponent's diaphragm with enough force that it would probably shock the organ into losing its functionality, at least temporarily, and leave the opponent unable to breathe. Anzo pauses for a moment there after coming to the realization that his medical training is somewhat informing him for the use of Taijutsu and how it functions, giving him some insight into how a technique as simple as a knee strike could possibly be so powerful as the instructions claimed it to be.

In any case, the sheer simplicity of the attack doesn't seem to detract from its power, and he slams his knee straight into the somewhat cushioned torso of the dummy; although his shoulder charge had definitely caused more damage, the knee strike was more reliant on a human anatomy, so it was likely to show more of an effect on a human anyway.

OOC: 100/100 Rising Knee

There's just one more technique that Anzo wants to train for now, so he backs from the dummy a bit, taking on the now familiar Arhat Fist stance with his legs wide and his wrists pressed to his hips on either side, gathering his strength, such that it is, in order to focus on dealing damage, which is what the fighting style is meant to produce for its practitioner. He stares at the dummy, focusing on tightening the muscles in his right arm before changing the shape of his hand from a fist to an open hand, allowing him to focus on using the bony part of his palm as the striking surface and avoiding damaging his much less durable knuckles and causing a boxer's fracture in his hand. Anzo takes a moment to visualize his next strike, and after a few seconds of running through every action he wants every one of his muscles to do and the speed with which he wants them to perform, he instantly unleashes a highly powerful palm strike to the dummy's head, causing it to snap backwards from the force of the direct hit to the very center of its face, right where an opponent's nose would be.

Anzo performs the same technique a couple more times with each hand before he considers his training done with that particular technique, and he stands up once more before taking his leave of the Grand Training Facility, at least for another day.

OOC: 150/150 Shatter Palm

EXIT THREAD

Anzo returns once more to the Grand Training Facility that he'd spent so much time in already. He was certain that the receptionist was starting to get sick of seeing his face by now, but that didn't matter so much. Anzo wanted to finish learning Taijutsu for now, as he's nearly reached the limit of what he can learn of Taijutsu from that odd pair. They'd started off with a few more techniques that they'd described as simple beginner techniques, and he was sure that attempting any of the other Taijutsu they were likely going to train would be too much for his own body to be able to handle. Instead, he opts to just finish strong with the last few techniques those two had been training.

He goes back into the Arhat Fist stance as he approaches the dummy, wide and strong and low in order to give him the stability needed to make his attacks strong before he again opens his fist to a palm with his fingers outstretched, so when he thrusts his fist upwards at the dummy's face from his lowered position, he can actually feel the dummy lift upwards an inch, somewhat surprising the genin before he comes up out of the Arhat Fist stance.

OOC: 150/150 Slamming Palm

The next technique didn't really require him to be in the Arhat Fist stance in any case for the next pair of jutsu he'd wanted to learn now. The Aburame ninja had already learned one of these techniques while on a mission to help train some rich kid with a spear. Now he figured he might as well learn the final two techniques in the trio that he'd seen on display. Although he wasn't sure he would be able to use them to their full extent, it couldn't hurt to learn them in order to become more capable. To that end, he gets to a standstill position, then rapidly raises his leg and strikes at the dummy's head with it. Although the kick connects, it doesn't really seem to do much to the target, but at least Anzo feels that he's learned how to use the technique. That's good enough for him, at least for now.
