*"No problem, only giving praise where it is due."* After saying this he would do a slight bow, keeping his manners as he became a little bit more relaxed, as he paid attention to the words coming from the chunin's mouth. Excess movement, and some wasted momentum... He could probably get that down within the next hour with some quick training, but what else was there? Nothing? He thought he was doing a lot worse.. Oh well. 

*"Yes, i got that all. So, how would i overcome my lack of movement and momentum?"* Maybe the chunin had some sort of system that would help him when it came to learning how to not waste any bodily movement, but it might need a lot more than a concept to help him. After all, Kogane was no prodigy, nor did he have any talent so to speak.

It took Murano a few moments to come up with a good answer for the genin. He was never the best with taijutsu and his style wasn't nearly as graceful as Kana's, so he knew he'd have to choose his words carefully. Finally, he'd say, "What I meant about removing those excess movements was that when you're in a fight, really focus in on how you're directing your body. Think of it like swinging a sword. There are some flashier moves, but even the simplest ones can be just as effective. Adding a spiral to a kick might look nice, but it's not necessary." 

Not long after imparting his advice onto the genin, he'd realize what time of day it was. "Damn, I should probably get going. Promised a friend I'd help them out with some stuff. Seeya around, Kogane. Oh, and good luck with the training."

``` This is now the  ```

This place was one of the very first places he came after leaving the academy, actually it was literally the first place he went to after being graduated from the academy. He stayed up all night practicing his taijutsu and Shikotsumyaku abilities, before meditating in the area to his right for a few hours, focusing on controlling his chakra. 

Today, he very much needed to train his Endurance, which was essential if he wanted to take some blows, as well as enhance his bone armor technique, which was very good. So, he walked closer to one of the training dummies, which looked more like a scarecrow with a very bendy stick up it's ass. After examining it, he would frown before regaining his composure and walking a meter or two in the opposite direction of it. He stopped, taking a deep breath as he eyed the weirdly cheap training equipment, reading himself for what he was about to do. 

He took off in a full sprint, albeit very slowly, he still got to the dummy in no time at all, as he braced his arms and went in for a full-body tackle assault. As he rammed into it with his upper body, the stick bent back before it got a few feet away, before it snapped back straight sending the Kaguya soaring through the air and onto his back, skidding across the dirt as he stopped with a loud grunt. He knew that damn stick was way to bendable! Now his robe is dirty. Damn.

Yuriko probably had finished her meds, because that morning she seemed a little out, rambling something about Horrors and something highly philosophical the Llama Lord had told her once. The old Nara often lost her mind that way, though this time, she had decided Toshi was worth hearing her, forcing him in a long breakfast that included her twisted system on how to decide who would succeed her as summoner of the 47 llamas. He found incredible how despite this, no Predator Unit secret left her lips, as if she sealed all the information somewhere not even her condition could unlock. Not that he ever asked, the less he knew, the safer he was. 

It took an hour and half for Izumi to find and save him, only to win her own turn in Yuriko's company. Needless to say, Toshi couldn't do anything for her. He took his weapons and left, planning to train on his own seen the early hour. He was rather fond of throwing weapons during his academy years, but since he received a set of katana and wakizashi the day of his graduation, he found a fascination in carrying those swords to his side that pushed him to test a different style. 

To his disappointment, the training ground wasn't empty. He sighed, about to turn around and look for another place when he recognised Kogane. The boy hadn't been a bad company at all, he was a clan member, and he promised to make good friends and build relationships, didn't he. "Good morning, Kaguya-san" He bowed just slightly before smiling to him, his eyes peaceful as if nothing bothered him. He wore his usual dark green traditional vest, his posture elegant and relaxed with a hand resting on his swords. "Do you mind if I join you?"

The Kaguya grunted once more as he sat up, before hearing the voice of someone familiar. He turned his head to see the Nara with his hands on his swords, as the Kaguya picked himself from the ground. *"Hello Toshizo-san."* He did a slight wave, before taking off his robe and dusting the back of it off from all the dirt collected on his back-sliding. *"I don't mind at all, i would be delighted to train with you."* Kogane then sighed, throwing the grey robe he had once worn onto the ground as he stretched his body.

He had taken off the clothing that covered his torso, because he needed Endurance training, and that would only get in his way. *"I hope you don't mind but, could you come over here and just.. Hit me a bunch of times? I'm trying to train my Endurance. Getting roughed up is the best way for me."* After saying this, he met the Nara with a respectful bow. He just wanted to get better as soon as he could, and to do that he needed someone else to beat him up. Of course he would activate his armor technique to save himself from serious injuries and such, but he wouldn't use it too much. For the sake of it.
Elizabeth
Toshizo had to look confused for a moment, as he had never been asked to hit a comrade during training. He knew some older shinobi sparred and went quite hard on their partners, but he thought it was something for seasoned warriors, people who knew exactly what they were doing. He couldn't claim this about himself. "You're asking me to hit you? My Taijutsu is rather poor, but I don't think using a blade would be appropriate either." The tone was hesitant as he looked the the right words, aware this could sound arrogant on his side.

Arms crossed, he took a few moments to consider the boy's request. He truly wanted to improve his grip on the katana; his wrists were still weak and not elastic enough to hold it comfortably, not to mention his form was bad and he felt like perfecting it would be ideal to raise his confidence. If only his mastery of the clan's hiden had been better, he could offer to use it, but he didn't feel it as his yet. 

"I can hit with the flat of the blade, but I won't hit a passive target, be aware." As he spoke, he unsheathed the katana, turning it to keep the sharp side away from his comrade. It was an excellent weapon, one Yuriko was proud of and crafted for him, sparing no expenses. Without waiting any more, he took position and ran forward, drawing an arc as he aimed at Kogane's left shoulder.

He wondered if he was going to use his clan's shadow techniques or not, seeing as it would be useful in this situation.

He nodded, as she asked. *"I have a sort of, innate armor under my skin, a bone one. So, either the sharp part of the blade or the flat side works i guess."* Kogane watched as she drew her sword, and when he says it was a beauty, it sure as hell was. The design was a spectacle, and wasn't just thrown together like his bone sword. *"I'm ready, just hit me a bunch of times."*

Seeing her come for his shoulder, he pulled his head away and left nothing by his shoulder, only the open area of it. He activated his internal armor technique and waited as he hit his shoulder, which gave off some pain. Afterwards, there would be a lot of inflammation, because of the force and the weight of the blade. *"It's a very pretty sword, Toshizo-san."*
Elizabeth
Kogane's words didn't reassure Toshizo as much as intended, seen as he was both worried about cutting him and ruining the blade. He studied of course and knew what jewel he had in his hands, but he was no samurai, and couldn't give justice to such beauty. He was aware the fear of not wielding it as he should influenced the way he stroke, and not in a positive way, even more knowing his opponent had an armor active. 

He didn't hit with his full strength, but rather aimed at where he believed an armor would be weaker, simulating a cut with the flat of the blade rather than smacking him. By the expression he made, it was more than sufficient for his purpose. "Thank you, it was a gift. I apologise if my skills aren't as admirable." Admitting his incompetence was no issue to him in that situation. 

Seeing as Kogane was protecting himself and not just taking his attacks, he danced around him, swiftly changing position with simple and precise movements of his feet as Izumi taught him, without losing contact with the ground. He stroke again, and again, aiming at different points while still using the flat of the blade. 

A peaceful expression accompanied him in every move, though his green eyes were concentrated and focused on his human target.

Kogane watched as he dashed and moved around himself, hitting him in the tender spots and whatnot, and every other hit he would not activate his armor technique, as he turned to see his 'opponent' so that when he did activate it, he knew where to do so. *"Don't fret, we have both just left the Academy, i don't expect you to weave that sword around as if you've spent twenty years only weaving that sword around."* He wasn't going to bash his friends skill with his Katana, seeing as they were both still so young, and had plenty of time to get better.

He noticed the restraint coming from Toshizo-san, which he didn't mind but maybe adding a bit more wouldn't hurt him get a lot tougher, since his training was to get tougher physically. Anyways, as the Nara continued to beat on him with his sword, Kogane was trying to grow pads of hardened bones on the proximal phalanges areas on both of his hands' fingers. They grew out to some of his knuckle as well, but there main focus was to be bone brass knuckles, but with a lot more maneuverability.
