Anti's Training Grounds

Anti had walked to his private training grounds, a clearing in the forest outside the oni village with three enormous trees in the middle of the clearing. On the north Side of the clearing there was a stone wall, a cliff that jutted upward sharply. On the west side there was a hot spring. On the east side Anti had dug a large hole. On the south there was the forest. On the middle tree Anti had dug the sign of the Oni Village into the tree's trunk, so that if anyone ever found the training ground they would know whether to use it or not.

It was here that Anti had traveled today. He stood in the clearing, making a few quick hand signs he yelled "Oni Tai!"
The Black fluid appeared in his right palm, spreading across his hand and up his arm. The hand lengthened into a blade. The Fluid continued up his arm, stopping at his shoulder. When it stopped small tendrils of it continued on about 3 inches across his body before stopping, as if it wished it could consume his whole body. His eyes turned black, his pupils becoming a darker red. He felt it straining his chakra. He focused his chakra into the arm. After a moment the blade started to become wavy, before finally becoming a liquid and sliding back up his arm. The liquid formed a hand with claw-like fingers and solidified. He flexed his fingers, happy with his success at controlling the Oni. He focused again, the hand shot back into the blade form in an instant. He focused again, the blade turning back into the hand in a second. He was happy he could now switch between the two easily. He made a quick hand sign with his left hand and the arm erupted into black fire before vanishing. He sighed exhausted. It seemed learning to control his Oni would be harder than he thought. He took his cloths off and climbed into the hot spring. He let out a sigh of relief as the warm water greeted him. He closed his eyes and leaned against the edge.

Anti climbed out of the hot spring and put his cloths back on. Once again he made hand signs and said "Oni Tai!" This time instead of experimenting with the arm he said, "Release stage 2." As soon as he said it the black material liquefied and spread farther across the right side of his chest, reaching down to his waist. It also covered the right Side of his face. He felt a significant strain on his chakra. I... must.. get..stronger... he thought to himself. "Release stage 3." he said. The black material liquefied again, this time it reached across to the left side of his chest and covered his left arm. Anti panted as the Oni sucked at his chakra. He focused his chakra on his right arm, putting it into its Blade form. Now it was time to test the left arm. He focused his chakra into it. The arm formed a claw-like fingered hand like the other one, the difference was the claws on this hand were alot longer. Focusing again the claws vanished on the left arm, this time the material expanded side ways, forming a shield-like surface. Making a quick hand sign the black material erupted into flames and disappeared. He slumped to the ground exhausted again. This jutsu is very powerful... but it will be a long time before i can effectively use it in combat he thought to himself.

Anti got up after resting for a while and picked up his stuff. He headed away into the woods, not knowing what he was looking for.

Anti soon returned to continue his training. He walked over to the left tree in the middle of the clearing. He closed his eyes and focused for a couple moments. Opening his eyes he focused chakra into his feet. He put his right foot onto the trees trunk, then his left. He took a couple more steps, walking up the tree. He was using his chakra to connect him to the tree. A smile broke across his face at his success. Then all of a sudden he was falling. Damn i lost focus he thought, right before he hit the ground.

Anti looked at the world upside down. He was standing upside down on a branch, a hundred meters up. He had finally mastered chakra flow. He had set up a dummy below him, a log ontop of a smaller log. He looked down at it, a small dot from his view. Putting his hands together in a hand sign he said "Oni Tai!"
He crouched closer to the branch, narrowing his eyes. A bead of sweat dripped off his nose falling towards the ground. He pointed his bladed arm at the ground. All of a sudden he sprung off the bottom of the branch. Anti shot downward, shredding right through the drop of sweat that had fallen off him moments before. He focused all his chakra into his arm, now visibly glowing. Thrusting the blade forward as he fell he made contact. There was a small explosion, when the dust cleared there was a 10 meter gash in the ground. One half of the dummy was on the right, the other on the left. Anti was in the middle of the gash, upside down. Half of his arm was dug into the ground, his body rigid, sticking straight up into the air. After a moment he leaned forward, his feet touching the ground. Pushing down with his feet, and up with his spine he ripped his arm out of the ground and stood up. Satisfied he made another hand sign, the black material disappearing.

Anti sighed contently as he set down the now empty box lunch. He stood up and stretched, his spine cracking. He turned toward the 5 dummies he had put up before lunch. He made a quick set of hand signs. "Kuro Tomurai!" Black flames leapt up from the ground, wrapping around 3 of the dummies like a snake and raising them into the air. After a second 3 spears of black flame appeared hovering in the air, before shooting into the dummies where the lung would have been. The fire vanished dropping the dummies to the ground.
Anti walked over the the dummies and flipped one over looking at the front. There was no hole. He pulled out a kunai and scraped off a layer of the wood, revealing a hole about the size of a bottle cap, boring all the way through the inside.

He turned to the other two dummies. Making the same hand sign again he said "Kuro Tomurai!" The black fire snaked the dummies into the air again. Anti ran forward at them jumping. The two spears of black flame appeared in the air. Anti reached up and grabbed one, spinning it around he threw it at the other dummy. The left dummy was pierced by two spears, the one on the right hovered in the air for a moment before the flames wrapping around it started squeezing. After a couple seconds the dummy was crushed to a pulp.

So its a damaging jutsu no matter what.. He thought to himself

Anti layed on the ground, watching the clouds. He had practiced his jutsu alot but he knew there had to be more. He knew there must be more to the oni form. He wasnt sure if he should try to attain that power. Honestly he was afraid of what would happen if he tried to take the oni form farther.
