Tools

Ichida bought the first item he knew he needed to study in-order to complete the teaching of his style the first time up was the Iron shuriken that seems easy enough to make, but when used right is deadly.

From the first impression it doesn't seem like much though one would assume that this item was easy to use and Ichida was one of them. He'd toss the Shuriken into the wall or attempted to and failed terribly.

His form was off and the Shuriken didn't travel far only a few feet before hitting the ground. He wasn't upset, however, he needed to figure out how he would get this item to travel further than a few feet.

He'd spin the Shuriken around his finger thinking about how he would toss this weapon into the wall.

Finally he stood back up cocking his hand back and with a spinning motion he'd launch the weapon at the wall. The Shuriken traveled further, but it still wasn't enough to hit the target on the wall even with trying to have proper form.

It didn't seem like Ichida was going to hit his target within the building the idea hit him that maybe the wind could help with how far it travels.

This would be noted in his research while he continues to figure out how these tools work.

Ichida finally broke from his mediation heading towards the cave for his daily mining trip though the caves and he noticed the lesser demons in the area. This was the perfect chance for him to give test out the Shuriken against the creature for a more accurate result.

The form that he practiced for the target was taken and he made an attempt to hit the demon with the Shuriken.

The amount of power was enough to reach the demon, however, it wasn't enough to piece the flesh of the demon and thus further notes were taken about the Shuriken's.

He noted that power alone wasn't enough it needed to be paired with accuracy as well to get the maximum amount of damage from it.

He then noted something else that could possibly aid with making the Shuriken land with maximum effect.

After studying the Shuriken Ichida has come to understand this tool to be the hidden hand blade from this day fourth since that's what it was in a sense.

He's take note of this Shuriken was one of many this Shuriken with iron spikes on each side would now be known as the Bo-Shuriken. From his practice he notes that this type of Shuriken is thrown overhand, underhand, sideways, and Finally rearwards.

He takes his pen and begins writing again stating with the max weight for a Shuriken can range from 1.2-5.1 ounces depending on the user. He also notes that the origin of their creation is unknown, however he could only assume they were from his home town.

Ichida smiled after complaining all of his notes he'd begin to write down what he wished other to learn when it came to his style in general, he wanted to get the basics down first before moving on. The notes on the Bo-Shuriken seemed alright for a rough draft even then there wasn't anything else around to debunk his knowledge.

He held the Bo-Shuriken in his head spinning it and soon after he launched it at the wall hitting it dead in the center. During the year he seemed to gain a better understanding of this ninja tool.

He'd roll the scroll up adding a bow around it to keep it tight finally placing the scroll in his back for storage. There was always more knowledge to be gain, however, this was all he could come up with for now at least in his perspective.

Tsu holds the parchment in front of her, ember eyes behind her mask scanning the lines. Her ears slowly perk up and her tail behind her sways left and right.

"Interesting, very interesting. This is good work." she says as she rolls up the paper and holds it out for Ichida to take back.

"I like your drive, young one. It were the Samurai under the Emperor's leadership that defeated Azrael's forces in Sheng and freed our beloved Jiuweihu. I, and all of my kind, are descendants of the warriors that won that day."
