Tora Traning

Tora, upon settling into his chair, looked at them for a moment before starting to speak, sharing something quick yet essential for the group. He explained that in the coming weeks, which would be dedicated solely to training, they would engage in simulated battles. "Every two days, you will have a fight against me. In the meantime, I want you to train in what you're already good at or learn a new jutsu. After the first week, I'll introduce something new that will be useful for joint missions."

He then stood up and made a hand seal, causing several targets to appear in front of them. These were large pieces of wood, each with a target in the middle, three in total.

They decided to start with weapon throwing to warm up. The air was filled with the sound of kunais and shurikens whistling through the air. Ryo demonstrated how to curve the trajectory of his throws, a skill that could surprise an enemy. Denji, focusing on power, threw his kunais with such force that they would embed deeply into even the hardest of woods.

Haruka, aiming for accuracy, hit the bullseye with almost every throw, her shurikens spinning through the air with lethal precision. They concluded the session with a vigorous taijutsu spar, each member showcasing their unique fighting style.

Ryo moved fluidly and adaptably, similar to the taijutsu of the Uchihas he had learned, while Denji's movements were strong and grounded. Haruka was quick and precise, though lacking a bit in strength.

Tora observed from the sidelines, offering guidance and corrections. Then, warmed up from the throwing practice, the trio began to train their ninjutsu and elemental releases. Ryo focused on Wind and Earth Release, making gusts capable of slicing through thick branches and manipulating the earth to form barriers and projectiles.

Denji, with his Fire Release, conjured flames that danced at his command, aiming to perfect control over fire's destructive power without causing harm to his surroundings. Haruka, on the other hand, delved into the intricacies of genjutsu, practicing illusions that could disorient and confuse, focusing on subtle manipulations of the enemy's senses.

It was the first time Denji and Ryo had seen Haruka utilize her genjutsu like this. The preparation was simple, yet the display was mesmerizing. Mostly, she seemed to be surrounded by white petals, which distracted and caused one's gaze upon her to lose focus, effectively obscuring her from view.

However, since Haruka couldn't use genjutsu on inanimate objects to see the effects, Ryo created a clone for her to test her skills. Since the genjutsus used didn't cause physical damage, Ryo's clone wouldn't disappear easily.

Following this, the three of them prepared to spar with their honed skills against Tora, a Jonin from Konoha known for his armed combat and the use of sealing scrolls to unleash jutsus and sealed weapons in battle. However, he planned to go easy on the three Genins, considering his vast experience and strength compared to theirs combined. In the mock battle.

Tora showcased a fraction of his capabilities, effortlessly parrying and dodging attacks with the grace of a seasoned warrior. He used sealed scrolls not to overwhelm but to challenge, summoning minor obstacles and weapons to test their reactions and adaptability.

After a few more minutes, the three young ninjas were sprawled on the ground, drenched in sweat and thoroughly defeated. Ryo was gasping for breath, trying to catch his wind. The combat had been intense, yet he felt it was merely Tora playing with them.

"You are fighting better together, but we're going to hone your teamwork until you can react to situations without even needing to speak to one another. However, it's something that will take time, and since I don't want to push you too hard, we'll end the day here. Rest up, and we'll continue tomorrow."

Still seated on the ground, the trio took a moment to catch their breath and reflect on the day's combat. Ryo, wiping the sweat from his brow, broke the silence with his calm and analytical voice, "We need to work on our timing. If we can synchronize Denji's Fire Release with Haruka's genjutsu more efficiently, we could create openings for more effective strikes." He pondered the possibilities, 'If I could better predict their movements, I could use my Earth Release to control the battlefield, guiding the enemy where we want them.'

Denji, ever the energetic and playful one, jumped in, "And if I get to blast them with a bigger fireball, that'd be awesome, right? But yeah, I get what you're saying, Ryo." He laughed, though his tone suggested he understood the importance of what Ryo was suggesting. 'If I can just get the timing down, I'll show them a real fireworks show.' Haruka, the most centered of the trio, nodded thoughtfully. "Your ideas are good. We also need to improve our non-verbal communication. And maybe we can develop a series of signals. "

Ryo agreed with Haruka on that point as well. Speaking up, he said, "I know we already have an idea about communication signals, but the other 90% of ninjas know those too. So, having our own unique signals could be a huge advantage. Just like Tora said, not having to speak to act will make us much more effective in the field."
