Learning secrets and training hard.

Yamato had left the kages office as he made his way down to the stone training yard, tucked inside of his vest jacket the tsuchikage had 3 scrolls that held powerful but useful jutsu in them. They was none other then the village Exclusive jutsu and since he was the tsuchikage he thought it was probably best that he got a rush on learning as many of them as he could since it might come down to him saving the village one day with them.

As he arrived at the stone yard it was the same as always, with no one around which was just like Yamato liked it. The other ninja had probably already all went home so this allowed the tsuchikage to be able to train in peace. The red headed kage found a nice spot that he could sit down and as he did he pulled out the scrolls and placed them in front of him. The first scroll he opened up said the pressure points of harm and death so Yamato decided he would just read over the scroll and learn the jutsu that way as some jutsu was better off learned by reading it.

( Learned pressure points of harm and death: C rank exclusive jutsu.)

After Yamato studied the scroll for a few hours he was able to grasp and understand the concept of the last scroll he read. They say a smart shinobi is able to not only master the jutsu he is learning but able to use it wisely and strategically as well and that is just what Yamato is trying to do. He would place the one scroll over to the side since he had already learned the contents inside of it then reached forwards and grabbed the next scroll as he opened it up and began to read the contents inside.

After opening the scroll he began to read what was written down, seemed this jutsu was called Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique. It was listed as a B rank jutsu which did not sound to difficult, the scroll read that this jutsu increased the gravity around the enemy slowly him down and at the same time I'm cased them in a rock casing, it almost made him think that the jutsu gave the opponent rock skin. But if he was gonna learn this jutsu he would have to put it in practice. Looking around the tsuchikage found a good sized rock so he picked it up, he would then perform the snake hand sign and then dropped the rock as he watches as the rock increased in weight as it created a small hole where it hit the ground.

Placing the scroll to the side Yamato looked down and saw that he just had 1 more jutsu that he could learn right now. Once he got stronger and got more Stamina then he would be able to learn more powerful jutsu then what he could learn right now. Yamato Kazehana would reach down as he picked up the third and final scroll as he opened it up and read the contents inside of the scroll. This jutsu seemed to have a similar name then the jutsu he just learned but this one was called Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique. Instead of increasing the weight of the enemy this jutsu increased the speed of himself by making him self and that which he touches much lighter. In fact this jutsu allowed the user to even learn how to fly and this was the most interesting part of the jutsu. It was also ranked as a B rank difficulty jutsu but Yamato has already learned a few B rank jutsus so he should be fine. Once again Yamato found a Boulder and walked up to it as he placed his hand on the Boulder making it as light As a feather and watched as the Boulder floated up into the air. Yamato also touched his chest and watched as he to began to left off the ground and using his chakra was able to fly around with out the need for the sand.

Yamato had been practicing his jutsu making sure he could use them in the best possible way he could find out. He had learned that using the light weight rock technique he was able ti fly around seamlessly with out the need for his sand but in another sense the sand made for a good seat when he needed it. Being able to fly around your opponent has so Many openings you could expose. But it also had the added effect of making his sand style techniques go so much faster as well.

Yamato could feel the sweat running down his face as he was hard at work trying to better him self not only for the village as a protector but just so he could become strong and handle van anything that might try and come his way. As he was training a noticed a Lone ninja making there way towards him, normally when the tsuchikage was training he always did it when no one was around so he took this as a sign that maybe he needed to take a break.

" Hold up, please do not leave just yet lord tsuchikage."

The person would say before Yamato had a chance to grab his bag. " who are you, and what do you want from me." Yamato would say as he dropped his bag and looked on towards the stranger.

As the stranger got closer Yamato could see a little better, it was a young woman around her mid 20s with short black hair and from her headband she was not a Stone ninja but at least she had the decency to address him by his title and was polite so he started to wonder what this woman wanted from him.

" My name is xaile and I hail from the hidden cloud village and I have come here to test mybself against the kage of the stone which is you. Do you accept my challenge tsuchikage of stone"

The young girl was definitely bold but she was not rude and Yamato knew that manners could get you in the favor of many if used right. Yamato could use the training so he decided that he would take her up on her challenge.

" Very well girl I shall accept your challenge. I was just thinking I could use a better challenge then just training my jutsu. "

Yamato would say as he got him self ready for the match before him, the lady told him her first name but he wondered if she belonged to any clan in the hidden cloud if so fighting her might become even more of a challenge especially of she knew lightning style which would totally take out two of his elements earth and sand.

Yamato watched as the girl grabbed a hold of the handle belonging to her sword that he noticed dangling by her side, this kinda gave Yamato a idea of what this girl fighting style was but then again she could use the sword mostly for distraction to hide her other moves. But none the less Yamato was gonna have to keep his guard up for any little thing that she might try to throw his way.

The fight was on as the woman came rushing in towards the tsuchikage, she lifted up her hand and used the half Tiger hand sign and Yamato wondered what she was about to do. Just then her speed increased and she was now in front of Yamato as she was bringing her sword down.

Yamato was smart for as the girls sword came crashing down the tsuchikage would bring his sand up with a good speed and blocked the sword from being able to finish descending down onto the Kazehana body. Using the half tiger seal to help focus his chakra Yamato brought one hand back and as he did the sand began to compress into a soft ball size before thrusting his hand forwards as he watched the ball of sand smash into the girl sending her flying back as she landed hard on the ground and then rolled a few more feet after that.

Yamato was not finished just yet as he inhaled a lot air inside of his lungs before firing off a barrage of air bullets towards the girl. But the girl was ready for it as she quickly picked back up her sword and sliced right though all of the wind bullets as if they was nothing at all. After she had sliced though Yamato jutsu she reached into a bad beside her and threw a few kuni knifes towards him, Yamato did a few hand signs as he placed his hands on the ground and a weak rock wall formed up as the kuni stuck into it. But just then there was a explosion which meant that the damn kuni had paper bombs attached to them. The explosion caused the tsuchikage to get flown back a few feet as dust and smoke filled the area.

As the dust settled down and began to clear away Yamato managed to get back onto his feet and started searching around for the girl but he could not see her, just then a shadow from above could be seen so looking up towards the sky the tsuchikage saw the woman coming down with her sword. Using a set of hand signs Yamato skin turned a dark color as his skin hardened like iron as he managed to block the woman's sword strike as he then swung his fist and hit her so hard she tumbled back a few feet.

The tsuchikage would look down at the girl as he watched as she tried to get back on to her feet, he was surprised that this girl would try to fight the tsuchikage when she was so weak. Yeah she had some skills but why challenge a kage leader if you was not gonna be strong enough to actually win.

" You challenge me and this is the peak of your abilities, I'm disappointed mostly in the fact that you have done nothing but waste my time girl. You better get better soon or this fight shall be over with."

Just then the girl reached and grabbed her sword which was now laying beside of her, after gripping the handle she would swing the blade and as she did a Cresent moon shaped crest of chakra came flyiny towards the tsuchikage. Not knowing how to handle the situation Yamato just did the first thing that came to his mind. So Yamato took his hand after gathering up the chakra and adding wind release to it he waved his hand and as he did a blade of wind went rushing out and so Yamato blade of wind and the girls blade of chakra clashed causing a small explosion to Accor which sent dust flying in all directions. He knew the attack did not do no damage to him or her but the dust made it very difficult to see where she was.

Once again Yamato was standing there as he watched as the young girl tried to get up off from the ground but she was having a much harder time then she was before. Yamato did not know what drove her to push her self so far in this fight and to be honest he really did not care. She chose to fight him so now she must see just how much weaker she was then him self. The woman had finally managed to get onto her feet but she did not seem that stable but at least she had managed to get back up on her own strength.

" I might be down tsuchikage but I'm not out just yet. I still have plenty of fight left in me"

Yamato could tell that the girl was faking either that or she was faking the faking but he did not care. The fact that she could still stand meant she could still fight. Yamato would preform a few hand signs then he would open his mouth and fired put chunks of stone which went shooting in towards the girl.

Yamato watched as the girls sword started to spark with lightning, as she sliced the stones the sword went into the stones like butter. He assumed that she had raiton release but he could not be fully sure until now. Now how good she was with the lighting style was still to he seen, but so far she was doing pretty well. After she sliced though the rocks she instantly came rushing in towards the tsuchikage as she started to attack like a man woman with her sword.

Keeping a close eye on the sword and how the woman moved Yamato was able to keep out of the swords path of wanting to cut him. He also had to be extra careful as to not let her blade get close to him as it was imbued with lightning chakra and if that even so much as nicks him the electricity would have a numbing effect on his body if not a full on paralyzed state. Yamato needed to figue out a way to get her away from him and give them some distance so he could focus on his next move, as he was busy dodging attacks he came up with the perfect idea but he just needed to wait for the right moment to use it.

Yamato continued to dodge her strikes as he looked on for a opening he could use in order to use his jutsu he needed to use. But then it came to him, why wait for a opening when he could just make a opening. Using the sand on the ground Yamato had it spring up and wrap around the woman's feet as it trapped her in place at least for a small moment as she looked down and noticed why she was stuck. Once she saw it was Yamato sand style she took her sword that was imbued with lightning chakra and stabbed down into the sand causijyvit to fall off of her legs but it was already to late.

Yamato finally had the opening he needed so with out wasting any time that he had made Yamato began to form the hand signs for the wind jutsu known as the great Breakthrough. After he formed the hand signs he would compress the wind into his two hands, and it was a good thing that it finished when it did as the woman was fully free and was running towards him.

By thrusting his hands forwards Yamato unleased the jutsu and he watched as it barreled towards her ripping a tunnel out of the ground. It hit the woman and normally she should have went flying back with the jutsu but she was smart enough to stab her sword into the ground and hung on. But that did not stop the wind jutsu from ripping her body up with lots of little cuts. Once the jutsu was over the girl lay there on the ground, with a snap of the tsuchikage fingers two stone anbu arrived beside him.

" girl you put up a good fight but you was no match for me. Once you get stronger you can challenge me once again."

Yamato looked at the two anbue on either side of him and nodded his head. " Take the girl to the hospital and keep a close eye on her."

The two members of anbu picked her up and then vanished. Yamato was tired so he headed back to his house so he could get some food and take a nap before he had to get back to his kage duties.
