Zanpakuto Training - Ryuu and Misuto

A large open field about three miles away from Sand. There is a large lake a few yards away from the main training field.


---------------------------------------------

Ryuu walked up to the training field and waited. "Where is he.."

Here. replied Misuto simply, walking from behind Ryuu to infront of him, Am I a few seconds late? he asked casually, facing his brother.
So, you want to train your Zanpaktou? first, you'll need to find out it's name, I can help you with that. he smiled,
What's it's name, Haineko? Misuto asked his Zanpaktou telepathically,
Nuh-uh, that'd be cheating. giggles Haineko, sticking a telepathic tongue out at Misuto, causing him to frown.
Actually, you'll have to find that yourself, sit down and meditate..ask it it's name.

Ryuu grabbed the sheathed sword from his back as he sat down on the ground in a meditative stance placing the zanpakuto on his lap. "who are you.." he thought as he slowly slipped into a meditative state.

-In Ryuu's Mind-

As time went by Ryuu found himself standing on a large mountain covered in snow and ice. "where am i..." he asked. After a long pause a strange voice, "come to me child..." it said from atop of the mountain. Ryuu looks around confused as he began to walk to the top of the mountain. As he reached the top of the mountain he saw a large dragon that appeared to be made completely of ice. "who...are you...?" he asked as he stumbled back a little.

"My name is Hyōrinmaru." The dragon said in a clam voice, "I am the spirit sealed inside your zanpakuto....and to answer your other question...you are in your inner world....a world where i roam free and can communicate with you freely until you learn to speak with me..." It stated simply. "But...your a dragon...how..." Ryuu asked confused. "All your questions will be answered in time child..." It stated as Ryuu's vision began to blur as he was pulled back to the real world.

-Back to reality-

Ryuu opened his eyes as he stared at his sword for a few moments before saying, "Hyōrinmaru....its good to finally know your name..."

Yup, Hyourinmaru can control ice..very powerful. explains Haineko to Misuto smugly.
So, you learnt its name..congradulations. says Misuto, spinning a kunai around on a finger. To unlock your first power, Shikai, you may need to spar me..I won't hold back too much.

Ryuu stood up Hyourinmaru griped tightly in his right hand. "Then lets go." He said simply as he spun the blade in his hand a little, "I wonder what this can do.." he thought to himself. After a few moments Ryuu heared a quiet whisper in his head "Good luck boy..." was all it said.

I'll show you a Shikai. murmers Misuto, Growl, Haineko.
I thought you'd never ask. replies Haineko as the blade becomes a large amount of ash(each very tiny blades) which circle around Misuto near his feet, ready to defend or attack if nessecary.
Defend yourself. was all the warning he gave before raising his arm, a white scaled snake launching itself from his sleeve at Ryuu.

Hyorinmaru acted on its own, after realizing Ryuu wasn't moving fast enough, and as the snake met the blade a cold chill went through the snakes, freezing the snakes body. "Well that was weird.." Ryuu whispered to himself. "Work harder boy....she is a dangerous one that blade of his." Hyorinmaru stated. "how is it i can here you know but i couldn't before...?" he thought silently to himself. "....Its because you have found out what my name is...it's easier for me to talk to you.." Hyorinmaru stated simply. "Wait you can here my thoughts!?" Ryuu asked out loud, more in surprise then in the need of an answer. With a slight growl he body flickered closer to Misuto he slashed in a downward arc from the left shoulder to the lower right stomach.

Misuto simply tilted his head as a small amount of ash rose to black Ryuu's strike, followed up by Misuto pulling out a kunai and stabbing it at Ryuu's lower stomach, nowhere near any vital organs though.
Be more cautious. he growed, beginning to perform more handseals.

Ryuu winced as he was stabbed, he jumped back as he saw Misuto begin to preform handseals. "Shit" he grumbled to himself. "Use me child.." Hyorinmaru stated. "How!?" he thought. "Release me.... use the command 'Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens' then say my name child.." Hyorinmaru whispered to him. "Okay....Sit Upon the Frozen Heaves! Hyorinmaru!!!!" Ryuu growls.

"Finally.." reply Hyorinmaru as the blade extends slightly in length, and gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to its hilt by a long metal chain. He grabs the chain in his left hand as he begins to spin it he slashes with the sword in his right. As he does so he releases a large amount of spirit which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon, the dragon then begins to fly at Misuto.

Misuto grins wide when Ryuu releases Hyourinmaru,
Finally.. he mutters, raising his hand to his mouth, Dragonfire Jutsu! he mutters quickly before blowing out a large stream of flame at the dragon, the ashes from Haineko circling around the fire and the dragon to target Ryuu directly, trying to slash at his flesh.

"Lets go boy..." Hyorinmaru growls as Ryuu releases the chain sending it flying straight through the fire and straight at Misuto at the same time he slashes his sword multiple times releasing several more dragons made of ice at him..

Misuto growls, his arm seeming to burst into oblivion, blood spewing out of it, the blood rising into the air and making several lines which slice around infront and around him, knocking the sword away and destroying the dragons.
I could slice you to pieces like this.. he mutters, the blood still circling him.

As Hyōrinmaru is knocked out of Ryuu's hand he grumbles under his breath, "damn.." as he grabs the chain of his sword pulling it back into his hand. "Your week boy..." Hyorinmaru states simply.

"Well then why haven't you?" Ryuu asked as he slowly began to lose his temper as the training went on.

Maybe I will do... Misuto growls, suddenly lunging forwards, incredibly fast as the blood quickly spirally around and behind him, making him seem like a blur heading at Ryuu before the blood extends, trying to slash at his legs and arms.

As Misuto lunged, Ryuu began preforming handseals "Daibakuryuu no Jutsu (Great Exploding Current Technique)!" After doing the needed hand seals a large vortex of water begins to form, sucking anything on the surface above it down to the depths below. At the same time jumping back just enough to dodge the full force of the blood but not enough to dodge all damage causing thin cuts to his arms and legs that are just deep enough to draw blood.

Misuto grins as he's pulled underwater, spinning around a few times, slicing up the water around himself, forcing himself upwards and out of the water, where he again extends the blood at Ryuu, basically sending a chopped up wave of it at him, capable of leaving many wounds.

Ryuu smirked as Misuto was pulled under water. "Hmmm..." he said quietly.

As Misuto re-emerges from the water Ryuu is temporary caught off guard, and in turn not able to effectively dodge the incoming attack correctly, causing heavy damage to the left side of his body leaving large cuts from just under his neck to his hip. At the same time he is knocked backwards into a near by tree. Ryuu releases a low toned growl as he drops Hyōrinmaru as it returns to its sealed state.

Angry? asks Misuto, Good...don't be clumsy, now.. he mutters, again lunging forwards, this time aiming to take off Ryuu's left hand, grinning like a madman.
FIGHT!

As Misuto lunged Ryuu's anger grew and as it did his eyes began to change finally reveling his Rinnengan eyes. Ryuu waited for Misuto to get close as he began charging his white lightning chakra into the tops of the fingers on his right hand. Once Misuto got close enough Ryuu quickly jabbed his hand at high speeds in the direction of misuto's heart.

((The chakra amount would be just enough to cause a stunning effect as well as a large amount of pain if it makes contact with the chest area, however if it hits any other part of the body it will just be painful.))

Misuto grins, suddenly letting his legs lose power, falling below Ryuu's strike, where he places his hands against the ground and pushes himself so that he's behind Ryuu, where he swings a kunai just behind his knee.

Ryuu swore as Misuto dodged his attack, His rinnegan beginning to glow brightly. As Misuto swung the kunai at his knee he preformed a front flip at the same time attempting to kick him in the face. At the same time he was preforming handseals "Mizu no Muchi! Whip of White Lightning!" A long whip of water formed in Ryuu's hand and at the same time the water began crackling with his white lightning, he then snapped the whip at Misuto's face.

Misuto gasps as he's kicked in the face, taken uaware as the whip hits him directly in the arm, a large splattering noise is heard as his arm is blown to pieces, blood splattering all over Ryuu as Misuto jumps back, his 'blood whip' stil intact as it circles him.
Facing downwards, his face shadowed, only his wide grin visible as he begins to giggle.

Ryuu stood there confused as blood splattered all over him. His eyes now slowly returning to its original appearance. "What the heck is wrong with you..?" he asked.

stopping his giggling, Misuto raises his head a fraction, revealing the bottom of his now-red Rinnegan eyes, wide with excitement, his arm missing due to it having been destroyed.
Oh..nothing's wrong.. he grins, giggling again as he stands up straight, his eyes now physically glowing red, seeming to eminate hatred from the depths of hell itself.
Watch this.. he adds, blood circling where his arm used to be, solidifying, creating a new arm for him, flesh and bone regenerating, completely recovering his arm.
Sacrifice of regeneration... he mutters, the jutsu complete.

Ryuu took a step back, "Holy shit.." he said as his white lightning chakra began crackling around him in preparation for any type of taijutsu attack that might be used against him
