Tashi smiled on Maki's last comment and said; "Your always going to be my teacher, may I become jounin myself or even if we both grow wrinkles and old." Tashi then pondered what rest Maki said before and he replied; "You know my origin; a orphan? My both parents died while doing mission so I was raised by clan elders. During shinobi war era many parents and siblings died in missions, so like wolf pack clan took care of parentless young as they could.<br/><br/>So I received my parents belongings when I came to age and had graduated as genin. Along those belongings were study scrolls from my father. I had been told he was remarkable swordsman but no one had told he practiced<em>Muryou Saikyou Ryuu</em>, specifically southern guardian style which matched with my element type as ninja. So no one in clan taught me it....I studied it myself. Blame me being reckless, but back then I wanted feel some connection with father whom I never met nor remembered so studying the technique and philosophy behind it helped me form some connection with him.<br/><br/>I never succeed perform technique but I practiced it still, clan knew what I was doing but they did not stop me as they knew what legacy of those techniques are about. They only watched I never practiced with risk of dying but injuries naturally formed. First time I performed it successfully was the fluke years ago."<br/><br/>Tashi felt his hand had cooled enough and he goes to small clay pot in corner of the cave. It had simple herbal salve for burn wounds and after taking handful of the stuff to rub on his hand he passed the clay pot for Maki and continued; "True, back in the day drawing hand signs was not common in Mibu clan and clan was more a mercenary warrior clan than shinobi clan. But overtime course of work we encountered many shinobi and so instead sticking warrior way we started blend in ways of shinobi to family's arsenal. There conflict between our blood granted legacy and needs of clan formed. As our heritage cancels benefit of shinobi lore while taijutsu remained as our only tool while using red eyes.<br/><br/>It was back then where our clan pride kind of formed itself. We could had forsaken entirely using red eyes and consider it family passed defect and focus to be more better shinobi. Instead though we decided embrace this complex dual existence as berserker warriors and shinobi and work much way around as we can with our limits. We focused improve kenjutsu to point where we could be competent against other shinobi who use trickery. True, that kunai from shadows can be more lethal than charge headlong in battle, but a shinobi swordsman acknowledges such dangers and learns counter them even when they themselves act unorthodox, reckless, fashion."<br/><br/>After applying the salve he looks on burns in his hand which stinged lot less now and he continued; "True that technique to your eyes is outdated, risky and something what needs fixing. But the technique is safe once you reach absolute mastery with it through devoted training, countless of hours of enduring burn pains in your hands and endure the pain with resolve. If the technique would be flawless and providing no risk to the user; then there is zero hesitation to use it or abuse it." Tashi looked on Maki then and said; "Clan who has known these techniques generations has as if unwritten rule never study nor research a<em>safer</em>version of these techniques. As they are now they work to teach young inexperienced genin or chuunin lessons of sacrifice, pain and judgement regarding courses of action. Especially think when they must use this technique, even if they study it alone.<br/><br/>This first technique harms one foe, second tier blows off entire unit away and final tier destroys squadrons. Now if first technique does not teach when and where to use<em>Muryou Saikyou Ryuu</em>techniques, then nothing will before feel of raw power will corrupt heart of the user to abuse a destructive power which was originally meant used only casually and after careful consideration.<br/><br/>As everything in the world, everything has it's purpose and place in things. You just need look carefully on it from all angles to fully understand it."<br/><br/>Tashi then rolls his eyes and groans while looking to dark cavern roof and says; "But ancestors name....I find no damn logic in their damn crazy breeding marriage programs what elders, men and women triple or quadruple my age, are thinking! Firstly think invindual pairings and now thinking freaking harem foot wife marriages!" Tashi sighs deeply while leaning down to look into pond's waters and add; "Like dating one girl or woman would not be stress enough as I haven't even dated even single time in my whole life. Nor....ugh....kissed."
