HyperFocused Incersio State (Private)

Tue Aug 23, 2022 7:35 pm

Missions:

Hinoishi woke up and felt that he needed to persevere and push through his own failures and train for Sunagakure harder than he ever has before. He put on his pants and his white shirt , he already had his necklace on him. Hinoishi made his way over to the training room but he used it as a meditation room. He sat down and realized that in order to work for suna he needed to do missions instead of just training. Hinoishi ran out of the house and grabbed his jacket along the way. Hinoishi looked at the mission board and just took as many as he could carry and ran home. Hinoishi knew that when he meditated there was something that happened to him, he entered an auto pilot ike state that allowed him to do his work at maximum efficiency all the while Hinoishi was meditating and going into a timeline of a different shinobi from Hinoishi’s subconscious Hinoishi grabbed all the papers and laid them out in front of himself on the dojo floor. He grabbed a sitting pillow and popped a squat facing the missions in front of him. Hinoishi examined each one carefully and took a deep breath in.”Lets go” He said as Hinoishi opened up his mental timeline of different shinobi and chose to learn about weapons and how they were made, maybe learning how they are made and the crafting behind them he would get smarter and learn what he would want in weapons. Hinoishi didn’t care who was forging but he went for someone who was forging a katana for the other worlds Hinoishi and his friend. Hino dropped in.

Satoshi finally found Konoha's forge after looking for any possible standouts. With two parcels of materials for two of his first customers, he was ready to start is crafting journey, and it all starts with a single blade. Or, well, in this case, two. He went to light up the furnace before he looked at the contents.(1/17) Opening the first parcel that he labeled for ‘Kio Lee,’ the first of the two. He had given the boy a full material price discount as a celebratory means, although he still gave the amateur crafter much more than he could ask out of any customers, which was shocking but it pleased him that someone could put their faith in him that much. (2/17) So out came many, many bits of materials. A rod or two of solid metal, a bit of cloth, and a blueprint that he had on hand. So Kio wanted his sword in a blue-gold color scheme, with a few ribbons and gold plating on the hilt. Nothing that Satoshi can’t handle, can he? (3/17) Satoshi looked at the rod before trimming the handle side down a bit with his own trusty trench blade, before inserting it into the scorching furnace, where it sat for roughly half an hour while he did some preparations for the sword’s decor, which was quite a few things to take a look at, starting with the raw blueprint. (4/17) For starters, the sword itself. It had a slight curve, and seeing that he used to spend his days in the forge in Kumogakure, it wasn’t too hard to imagine how to shape it, and the hilt and scabbard were both made of wood, but the former of which needed somewhere to input chakra., but that wasn’t an issue at all, was it? (5/17) By then, the earth-enhanced metal had been able to turn a fluorescent orange by that point, and was ready for the first round of hammers. He carefully removed the blade by the tang before beginning to bend the metal slightly over the side of the anvil for the katana curving, simply using pliers to help guide the hot rod. (6/17) (edited)

After half an hour of doing so, he put the sword back into the furnace and pulled it out at a red-hot color, beginning to hammer down on the soon-to-be blade that would belong to Kio. The sounds of the hammer slamming into the metal, shaping it, and the anvil shaking were the music he once enjoyed, and still to this day. It was almost soothing to an extent, since he hadn’t crafted since his Academy days. (7/17) Well, aside from that, it was another cycle that went through over and over. Hammer for about ten minutes, put it back into the furnace to heat up, remove it, and repeat. It was a circle, with no beginning and no end. Well, it did begin somewhere, of course, and now it came to an end as the shape became an essential prototype to the final result. (8/17) He grabbed the sanding block and began to smoothen out the edges and surface, making the difference more pronounced as the blade got thinner and thinner towards the tip and polishing it as well. Another reheating later and the blade was sent to the quencher, with speed as top priority. (9/17) With the base of the blade good as done, it was time to focus on the more important things at the moment: the hilt and scabbard. Satoshi snagged the small, rectangular block of wood before slowly carving out the entirety of it with his trench blade, making sure that there were a few channels where Kio could input chakra to amplify the sword’s strength. (10/17)

With that, it was time to pull the sword out of the oily quencher, dry it off, and start making the scabbard. He grabbed a much larger block of wood and chopped it down the same way, but with a bit of chakra to lengthen the blade and increase efficiency in terms of time, since it is also money. (11/17) Now left with two long blocks of wood, he marked the outline of the sword, with a bit of head room for perhaps oversimplified blade-drawing. Since Kio was quite meticulous about the designs and absolutely everything, he had to study up a bit before he started his first craft. Now, he had to switch to some of the forge’s knives and shavers before completing the scabbard’s halves. (12/17) After verifying that the scabbard was the right fit, then came the obstacle. The tricky part here was to attach them to make it look seamless. Thankfully, however, the forge had more than basic supplies, so he used a bit of their rice glue to almost miraculously conjoin the hemispheres, but here, the spheres are actually scabbards. (13/17)

Now, it was time to fully assemble and make the effort bear fruit. Taking the blue lacquer from the parcel, Satoshi began to give a light coating to the scabbard, followed by a period of waiting for it to dry before painting it over again, this time full and not to leave a single place out. He repeated the same procedure for the hilt, but was more careful about the sword, since he didn’t want to ruin its sole purpose of fighting while preserving its beauty. (14/17) After the accessories dried to a usable state, he slid the gold-like guard to the end of the tang before attaching the hilt to it as well, sealing the guard in its place. Then came the cloth additions. He tied a bow around the blue-hued scabbard and laced the grip for the handle, giving the now complete sword a nice touch. (15/17) Satoshi looked in awe as he marveled at his newest and first public creation. It was something that he loved to do, and now there was one last thing to do. He branded the sword with a subtle nail marking that held the first kanji of his name, 正 with another character, 一. Finally, it was time to reveal it to Kio, his celebratory first customer. (16/17) He knew for a fact that Kio was a Konoha-nin, so being that he had crafted it in the area, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find. He couldn’t just leave the remaining parcel alone, so he put it in the rest area before going out to find Kio for him to receive the sword. (17/17)

Returning to the forge after greeting Kio at his father’s shop, Satoshi still was behind on another order that came from an Iwa-nin, Hinoishi Yogan. So he had a somewhat similar order for an element-coated sword as far as he was able to recall. He went to the rest area to grab the oh thank the lord still present parcel. (1/17) Opening it up, he would see that it had virtually each material the same as the parcel completed yesterday. However, Satoshi immediately remembered that Hinoishi wanted a little surprise for himself and resultantly did not send him a blueprint of any kind when putting in his order, but did request the sword have a red-and-neutral decor scheme, with a rather long engraving. Looks like he had to get creative for this one, eh? (2/17) After putting on an apron in his cloak’s place and shuffling a couple of logs into the furnace, it was time to get to work. A katana was still a generic option to go with, but was already probably the safest route to go down. Using just a bit of thought, he etched the concept into his mind and looked at the furnace. Time really seemed to fly, and it was ready to be put to work. (3/17) Inserting the rod of metal into the furnace, it was time to wait for the metal to glow red. Then, he focused on just what to put on his scabbard and hilt as subtle ornaments of singularity. Maybe half of the engraving lies on the scabbard while the other is on the flat side of the katana? That was to be pondered over later as he pulled the scorching stick out of the flames. (4/17) Satoshi began with shaping the blade itself, beginning to hammer down onto the rod to give one end a tang shape to insert a hilt and guard, while the other was given the blade’s soon-to-be tip. After some time simply waiting for the furnace to cook the metal again to a malleable state, he took the time to hydrate, which was important for such an activity in the environment. (5/17)

Now pulling out the straight blade, Satoshi bent it over the anvil's side, giving it a slight curve, and once he confirmed the shape, began hammering down on the blade’s edge, forming a visible angle as he rhythmically beat it down and it made a somewhat crude, unfinished edge that now was ready to be run through to sharpen and polish into an authentic katana. Before that, however, there were a few more steps. (6/17) Putting it back in the furnace, he waited until it was a warm orange before quickly putting it into the quencher. The oil’s job within the quencher was to simply harden the steel and reinforce it. After he took it out, only then could he start with some of the finishing up for the blade itself. (7/17) Satoshi used a bit of sandpaper that was available to polish its finish and made the edges a bit more sharper, and to test it, he tested it on a log of firewood, which subsequently was cut into two, and for its Fire coating… it worked as well, and now he just needed to finish up the hilt and scabbard, along with the engravings, and he was in the safe. (8/17) He didn't need a guard for this katana, so he moved on with whatever was next, which was hilt-carving. Carving out the hilt just like he did for Kio using his trench blades, this time, he made it a low-profile one, only meant to wrap around the tang with an easy grip on it. (9/17)

Satoshi needed to consider what to do. So Hinoishi wanted him to engrave 地球を焦がす赤い炎の中に住む (Live in the red flames that scorch the earth), and he still is yet to create the scabbard that is necessary to store the sword and use for abilities like Iaido or just simply organization. (10/17) The idea from earlier struck him once again. He could simply carve the first half of the phrase into the scabbard, and the latter half into the katana. Of course, it would be done before it was coated in a red lacquer, and he gave himself a subtle smile as he prepared to get to a bit of woodworking. (11/17) The idea from earlier struck him once again. He could simply carve the first half of the phrase into the scabbard, and the latter half into the katana. Of course, it would be done before it was coated in a red lacquer, and he gave himself a subtle smile as he prepared to get to a bit of woodworking. (11/17)

Beginning to carve out a block of wood into two manageable halves before tracing out the outline of the katana onto the halves and using the carving tools at the forge to sand it down and form it into a useable crevice before shaving it down to a rounded, smooth surface, perfect for lacquerware induction. (12/17) Using rice glue to cement the two hemi-scabbards together, he engraved the first half of the requested phrase, ‘地球を焦がす赤い’ (well, it wasn’t half of it, more like ⅔, but who asked?) into it. The latter half, of course, went onto the sword, etching it with his own blades. He planned to give blackened accents later. (13/17)

Just like the last weapon he performed on, he spread the lacquer evenly amongst the surface of both the katana and scabbard alike, before applying a second coat to both as well, and a third onto the scabbard, giving both a shiny, red glow. He used a bit of black to highlight the characters on both the scabbard and katana. (14/17) Of course, a weapon isn’t much without being able to handle situations where its true qualities are put to the test. Inputting chakra and giving a swing at one of the dummies, it gave a clean slash and would’ve burned to the ground had Satoshi not known Water Release, dousing the test opponent. (15/17)

Satoshi quickly put the sword back into his scabbard as he held it in his own display for a bit. Second order, and it was better than ever! He seemed to be getting into the whole crafting thing, and to him, he loved woodworking as much as the metallics. Now, his goal was to truly excel at crafting, so he would be able to replicate other effects that the blacksmith could. (16/17) Now, the last thing on the agenda was simply to get the message out to him. Satoshi, not having any more orders, headed out to find Hinoishi to allow him to receive the long-awaited weapon. It took some time, but it got to him in pristine shape, and hoped for the best. (17/17)

After dropping into Hino’s alternate selves katana forging process he took a look at some other parts and found another blacksmith who seemed committed to his craft. Hinoishi dropped in. and would continue dropping in on a family of blacksmiths, they would work on many commissions without contact with each other.

Ishini was tired inside and out, his training was going slowly and he could hardly keep himself occupied these days. The only thing that really helped was knowing that he had an order to fulfill and that he needed to work hard in order to get it done on time for his customer. This time around he'd be crafting a couple of yo-yos. These were unique in the fact that they would be made of lightning and water. As well as the fact that they were yo-yos. The boy had never crafted a weapon like this, but he was sure that was what his customer wanted. As he walked towards the forge, he tried to imagine what it would be like to fight with these weapons, swinging them around and launching projectiles from them. Soon the vivid images played through his head and he started getting excited for the project that he had in ahead of him. He enjoyed these morning walks to the forge. They came with a brisk cold wind that would soon be accompanied by the welcoming warmth of the forge. Ishini had been getting used to multiple different climates as of late because of the way he chose to dress, which seemed to really round the boy out. As the boy neared the forge he could still smell the ash and soot from the forge being used the day prior. That means that Andre had been there. The boy had fond memories of his teacher and the two really seemed to get along over the past year in the forge (5) Ishini finally entering the forge would take a deep breathe before looking at his building plans, he'd need to be strategic to get these weapons done as quickly as possible. For now, he'd focus on sketches and make sure that he knew exactly what he would be crafting here. He'd need to make the wires for the yo-yo's a high tensile strength, while also making them off chakra conducting materials. With that in mind it would be in his best interest to mix in some steel wires to accompany the chakra conducting ones to add a little bit of needed strength to them. As Ishini was beginning to get a plan in place, he'd start heating the forge, there wasn't a whole lot he was going to need the forge for today, but at the very least, it would be ready when he did need it. The forge was a crafter's best friend. It warmed the users heart and gave a helping hand where needed. The boy had lit this forge over a hundred times but each time was as welcoming as the first. with it, a crafter was never alone. The flickering flames that roar into the empty space would keep conversation as the tongues of the flame flickered in tune with the wind and the breeze. Snapping out of the euphoric lull Ishini got when lighting the forge, he would return to his building plans for the order. He'd need to make sure he was pouring over the notes before getting started so he didn't miss any details. It would be a shame if the customer didn't get what they ordered. (10) The order was for two yo-yo's that would be elemental weapons, one of lightning and the other of water, and both of them would have elemental shot. This would make both of the weapons capable of causing some serious damage to their opponents close up or at range. The real danger of these weapons would certainly be as they were used in unison. The boy could only imagine the combos a skilled fighter could make with this weapons and with that Ishini was excited. It would seem that his expertise would be of use to yet another shinobi. Ishini would grab a large tan-ish sheet of paper and a stick of charcoal that he would use to sketch his plan. The charcoal wasn't the most accurate utensil ever, which meant that Ishini himself needed to be precise in order to draw his sketches properly and clearly. Touching the charcoal to paper, he'd draw out the line-work for the wires as well as a small diagram of the wire makeup. He was thinking a thin, but tough combination of five chakra conducting metal wires, mixed with four hardened steel wires to mix together into these tight bundles of incredibly strong metal. If the wires were made properly, the user would never have to worry about them snapping or being damaged in some way. It was an insurance plan to prevent any unwanted mishaps in battle. Ishini would also think to harden the wires slightly post twisting in order to bond them to a certain extent to prevent fraying. (15)

Andre's first words to Ishini in the forge were to make sure that he created only perfect weapons and Ishini took that very seriously, he wasn't want to ignore warnings from others and would be careful that words given to him wouldn't be wasted breathe. He had a respect for those who cared for others. It almost seemed like a dream that Andre even agreed to train Ishini. If it weren't for that man, this boy would be struggling to find his way throwing shuriken or something. Instead Ishini gets to work and craft things for people and eventually himself that will go on to shape the paths of this world. Of course his crafting was of little consequence for now, but he was confident that it would serve a purpose in the future as he grew in the trade and became more skilled as a craftsmen. Soon he'd need to look at making some equipment for himself. He couldn't let himself get too distracted however, he still had an order to complete, Ishini could worry about his own things later on, his mission now was to make these yo-yo's and have another satisfied customer, he had already made them wait long enough as it is. (19) In Ishini's drafting process, he would need to account for a handle that wouldn't be uncomfortable for the user and would hold up over time. His idea was to make this portion out of a sort of bearing. It would be loose from the wire that held the yo-yo, would provide a better spin, and wouldn't kink the wire. This idea had Ishini excited as it mean that the handle wouldn't need to be repaired, just oiled form time to time. He was proud that he came up with the idea the first time he had made yo-yos. With a smile he had come up with an intelligent design thus far for the wire and the finger hold for the yo-yo. (21)

Tue Aug 23, 2022 7:36 pm

Ishini would begin to look back over his notes, he wanted to make sure that the ideas were thought out properly and that he had implemented the ideas properly. He was being far more careful with these weapons than most. It was his first time making them and he refused to it wrong. with Determination in his eyes, he would look down at his notes and begin pondering the idea for the yo-yos themselves. He would take his time with this, he didn't want to rush through the weapon portion. As he thought about the plan he begin to run through trial ideas. He'd grab another sheet of paper and begin to draw out different ideas for heads of the yo-yos. His first one was for a traditional yo-yo head. It would then grow with the elemental weapon and would be driven by the sheer weight of the core. It was simple and strong. The next draft was for a rounder shape to add extra weight to the yo-yo. It would be a solid steel ball that was around five pounds at the end of this metal wire that would eject a chakra blade and create a large circle around the head of the yo-yo. It would add extra force to attacks, but less cutting power. His last idea was for a small handle that would produce a fierce chakra that would take over the end of the yo-yo. The biggest issue would be that the chakra would wear down the wire of the yo-yo over time and snap it. If this happened in battle, it could mean death. That option was off the table. (5) It would be between the first two options. More cutting power or more strength. As Ishini pondered the ideas ahead of him he came to a revelation. Counter-spin. The first option was the only logical one to go with. He'd smile as he thought of it knowing that it would work out great. The reason that the counter spin was important was that it would bite, rather than slice. With a metal weapon this would be counter-intuitive. With a chakra weapon however, it would slice through metal weapons. He'd sneer at the plan ahead of him. He wasn't sure if the customer had thought about this, but they'd certainly enjoy it. With a basic Idea for the head, wire, and handle. Ishini would work on the decorative portions of the yo-yo. It was little details, but marking which was lightning and which was water would probably be important down the road. Ishini had a great idea, he could etch in some details of animals that fit these elements. For the water yo-yo he thought to put a shark or a turtle on it. He'd wind up going with a shark in a more tribal sort of design. It wouldn't be visible while in use due to the strong water chakra that would over-take the weapon, but it would be visible beforehand when the user was pulling them out. For the lightning one, he'd etch in the legenday Kirin. Keeping it in the tribal style, but still easily identifiable between the two designs so they would be easy to tell apart. It would take him a moment to draw a proper sketch for these details, but it would be quite worth it. (10)

In this moment Ishini would pour over the details of both sketches as he laid out his tools. He'd need a few chisels, a hammer, wires, and now that he thought of it, he'd need to craft the bearing for the handle. With that in mind, he'd drop the first piece of metal into the forge as he finished the final details of the sketches. The metal in the forge would be for the head of the yo-yos and for the bearings. They were the only pieces needed to finish this project. He wasn't used to having such little to do with the forge, but he was proud of how well he had thought out the process ahead of him. He would begin to connect the pieces on his sketch on a new piece of paper. The final draft where he would diagram each piece of the project, but also have a diagram of the full finished product ahead of him. He'd get a huge smile on his face as he prepared the last of his tools. His hammer and tongs set on the anvil in front of him and the materials set out on the table around him. The metal in the forge was almost ready for working and the boy could begin to make the two pieces he had in front of him. He was ecstatic to finally get started. In honesty he could have started a while ago, but Andre's word echoed through his head. He had never made a weapon like this and he could not afford to make a mistake with them. His plan set out would ensure that he had a beautifully prepared weapon that was exceedingly dangerous (15). Pulling the metal from the forge with his tongs, he set the metal for the heads on the anvil and hammered them into shape. He'd have four pieces of metal that he would shape into the beloved child-toy weapons. They would be oval shaped and would conduct chakra beautifully. Next he'd press out the tiny details of the bearings he was making as he produced small circular rings that would be connecting by small steel balls that would add rotation, torque and such to the weapon he was crafting. He'd forge the bearing over the small steel spheres that produced the rotation and reduced the surface tension by oiling the bearing themselves. The next place he'd start working on was the wire itself. He'd go ahead and grab the two sets of chakra conducting metal wires and two sets of steel wires and he would twist them together into thin and maleable, yet extremely strong bundles that would hold over time. With these details done, he'd grab the two sets of heads that he had made and begin etching in the designs that he had drawn up for the weapons. It would take some time and great attention to detail, but after the two designs were made, he'd polish the pieces to make the designs very clear to the user. In this time he would then begin piecing the yo-yos together. With a smile on his face he'd be taking the final steps in the creation process. The weapons were just about finished and the boy was excited to play around with the weapons to make sure they were made properly (20) As he fit the bearings of the lightning weapon over his finger and channeled chakra through, it produced a large circular lightning blade that spin in the opposite direction to the swinging motion. He'd walk out into the forest surrounding the village and swing the weapon at a tree, slicing it in half with ease. It was ready to be used, and he would contact the customer.

Ishini was happy to be back at the forge. It had been quite a while since the boy had gotten any crafting done and it was like a breath of fresh air to be able to pick up his hammer and tongs once more. Though things would be a little different this time around as he got things started. Over time, Ishini had developed techniques that would hone his crafting and give him the ability to work independently from most tools within the forge. His body would turn a deep ashen grey as blue flames covered his body while he grinned menacingly at what was about to happen. Perhaps other would see Ishini using an ecm to light a forge as a bit of a waste, but it was his own craft and he wanted to pour his very being into the items that he created. Every other craftsmen Ishini had ever seen had used the hot red flames of a forge to make there items but for Ishini it would be rather different. With one solid punch in the direction of the forge, Ishini would send off a large blue scorch release fireball to set the forge ablaze immediately. He was certain to contain the size in a way that it wouldn't harm or damage the forge. It would be a shame if any harm would come to the place he did his work. The forge burned hotter than it ever had and Ishini smiled warmly. He knew that he was officially making his own unique mark on crafting. He had a few more tricks up his sleeve that he wanted to be sure to take advantage of as the project progressed. For now the tremendous heat of the forge would suffice. (5)

As Ishini marvelled at the blue flames, he release his ecm and allowed his bones to return to their normal ghost-like color as his body began to regulate it's temperature once more. While the boy rested for a moment, he'd think to the techniques he had learned and how he could put them all to practice. In that moment Ishini would smugly smile once more. Stepping into his Monarch fighting style, the boy would spread his wings and fan the scorch flames with laboring effort. Just as he had predicted the flames grew and the heat swelled, it far surpassed the flames it had used to carry, now Ishini could truly work in ways that were independent from other's example. These new techniques weren't the only things that had Ishini excited for this project. There was something that separated this weapon from any weapon he had crafted prior. This one was for a good friend of his, in fact someone who was like a father figure to him. Jun. The dog that taught Ishini to be human. There was something that was so very caring about the relationship the two had developed and Ishini couldn't be more excited to finish the work he had in front of him in order to see his old friend again. Surely Jun would be surprised at how much Ishini had grown. At least that was the hope. He couldn't wait to see how the project would turn out either. It was the boys first time ever making a chakram and his first time working with the elemental blast augmentation to a blade. It was going to be a test and a journey for sure and it was one that Ishini was more than ready for. (10)Before He could get too distracted the boy would curl his wings back behind his shoulders and look over the materials that had been ordered for the project. He would make sure to carefully read through before waiting on the delivery to arrive. He needed to make sure nothing was left out or else he would need to go grab the missing items. It was mere moments before he could here the arriving visitor at the forge. The delivery person was ahead of schedule and was making record time for sure. Ishini wanted to make sure the he paid the proper respect to somoene who was working so diligently so he would bow as the man approached. The delivery person was dressed in a grubby brown tunic and a make shift hat. For such a menial job, he certainly wasn't being paid his fair amout. His tired green eyes showed through the forced smile on his face as Ishini noted the welcoming stance and presence the man carried. [Courier] - "Here there, Ishini I take it. We have here, a solid five kilograms of chakra conducting metal, several ornate fabrics ranging from red, to purple, and green, and quite a bit of extra steel of various gauges. If you can sign the paper work here, I can get the cart unloaded and get out of your hair." [Ishini] - "Wow, you made it here quick. I had barely requested these materials just yesterday. Is there anyway I can compensate you for the expedited delivery?" Ishini would pull out a bag of ryo as he prepared to hand the money to the man. It was good practice to tip someone working so exceptionally. (15)

[Courier] - "Unfortunately, the boss doesn't allow us to take extra pay. your thanks however is payment enough for me, I'm more than happy to perform my job in a way that please the clients." The courier would hand the paper work to Ishini as he grabbed the merchandise from the cart and began taking trips back and forth placing them all on the table next to the forge as Ishini directed him. Before long the cart was unloaded and Ishini had finished the paperwork properly. The two would smile and exchange a handshake and bow before the courier would scurry off back to the village, likely to prepare yet another delivery to a local smith. Ishini would hope they would be as kind as he was to someone as hard working as that man. With a content sigh, Ishini took one more deep breath before he started the sketch for the chakram. A circular blade was a little different than his normal work, but it shouldn't be too difficult to pull off. He'd grab his parchment paper and a piece of charcoal from beside the forge. Ishini would tie his hair back behind his air in a bun as he put on an apron and began the drafting process. Clearly the blade would need to be circular, that much was clear, but the size and style would certainly still be in question here. The handle may seem like a minor detail, but Ishini refused to make a weapon that didn't look as good as it worked. As Ishini progressed through his drafts, he'd come through a few ideas that simply didn't sit well. A welcomed air of annoyance would enter the atmosphere surrounding him. Ishini was happy that he was upset when the weapon didn't turn out how he wanted. (20)

It was refreshing to know that his standards hadn't changed and that he would still be responsible enough to only put out work that was worhty of his clients. It was a matter of character to him and he wanted to make sure that he wasn't sarificing his ethic for convenience. As Ishini continued to erase and redraw the handle portion of the blade, he would also decide to take a bit of creative freedom to form the portion of the blade that was opposite to the handle into a bit of a rounded point adding extra weight to the blade and giving it all a sense of direction. This change would add the to leverage portion of the swing. A weapon that would be held from a middle point such as this one could use a counter-balance point. Doing this allows for a fluid, yet weighty attack that was far more likely to meet it's mark in it's attack. Ishini would settle on the hand portion eventually and that meant that it was time to finally get to the actual crafting process. It wouldn't be too long now. The boy smiled and began to grab the items he needed in order to create the weapon and with a few personal touches. Grabbing the chakra conducting metal and setting it inside of the incredibly hot forge, the boy would prepare the tools he had intended to use for the crafting process of this blade. It was certainly much different than any other craftsmen the boy had met previously, that much was for sure. (25)

In moments the boy's arms would turn into a hammer and a set of bone pincers or tongs that he could use to hold and form the metal in a more controlled way. His bones formed a set of tools superior to that of which he had been using previously and would certiainly increase the speed and quality of his crafting. Ishini would look at his hands with a please look in his eyes. It was a breathe of fresh air for him to begin using his exclusive style of fighting to add to his crafting ability as well. Crafting was more than his job at this point. It was something that added to Ishini's very being and added to his lfie beautifully. It wasn't long before the chakra conducting materials were ready to be forged into the circular blade. Ishini would grab the yellowish orange metal slab from the forge, laying it on the anvil as he began to form the chunk of metal into a circular shape, hammering one point to the mid point of the circle. He would punch a hole in the middle of the blade to make the circle form into the proper look for the weapon and to take the intended shape. He would progress through the process by hammering the edges of the chakram into tapered blades. It was very important that Ishini made this blade incredibly sharp. He'd take the time to remove the back portion of the chakram, placing a small bone cylinder in the gap and forming the handle around it. He was taking a moment to craft himself into the piece adding to the individuality of the piece he was forming for Jun and Miiro. (30)

Taking hold of the handle, the boy would finish the taper and sharpen all the edges off the blade. From there, he would take the bare handle and begin forming the runic patterns necessary for the chakra shot and blast details. From there the boy would then wrap the handle with an ornate fabric to end the process. Ishini had made his first chakram. He'd smile peacefully as he looked at his reflection in the blade. He would admire it's sharp edge and the beautiful point and handle that he had made that added to the uniqueness of the weapon. He was hoping that Miiro would be as excited about the weapon as he was. Last thing was the test. He'd fire off a chakra blast while arcing a slash with the blade. A large b-rank ball of chakra flew off and struck down a tree a short distance away from the forge. "yes, this here will prove quite useful." With that Ishini covered the forge to remove the oxygen and burn out the scorch flame he had set. he was done for now. All that was left was to deliver the weapon to Jun. (33)

Ishini stepped into the forge with a new fire in his eyes. There was a forge in his home town that he could use freely. No more traveling to fulfill orders. Given this new forge, the boy could likely work in either Konoha or Kiri meaning he could always come here and work between missions or bring Tenshi to the forge with him in Konoha. It always seemed like Ishini's life was on the up and up. Sure there were challenges and set backs, but something about the recent events just sparked a new curiosity for the future and really opened the door for Ishini to grow and learn to appreciate others to a deeper level than what previously seemed possible. With a genuine smile, the boy would step out of the moist air and approach the new forge. It was the start of a new era. The boy has surpassed average blacksmiths. His 6 slot items meant that he could do far more than any standard village blacksmith could dream of. And it was still only the beginning. With a flutter in his stomach he'd take a deep breathe of the sooty air surrounding the forge and his heart would be full again. The same feeling as when his love was realized for Tenshi would be present as he began to do the work that he had fallen in love with. Crafting was a dream to him something to be cherished. Before too long Ishini would simply close his eyes and savor the moment. He had managed to beat the delivery man here for the materials, so the best course of action was to grow comfortable and allow himself to concentrate on the goals he had before starting the forge. (5)

As he was relaxing before his work, the boy would flip through the progress he had made going from basic swords and such training under Andre's teaching to where he is today. He had made grown incredibly quick in the given time. It was rather easy to see that over time. Today he'd be making his first six effect item. It was a huge step to take and would prove a milestone in his journey with crafting. It would be vital to his mission that he utilized the tools that he had gained through his time as a ninja. His bone smith and scorch chakra would prove incredible useful. While pondering his strategy of things to use he would begin to wonder how far his steel abilities could take him. He had something now that he could have never imagined using. Especially if his plans worked out the way he had planned over time. Steel release could be an interesting tool for crafting. Quite interesting. He'd chuckle a bit realizing that Tenshi hadn't even seen his growth as of late. His steel release, Heavy Monarch, and sudden heightened strength, armor, and chakra control were unknown to even those closest to him. It was like the kid had managed to become a true monster over night. One that other taijutsu specialists would likely being to take quite seriously. With a devilish smile, Ishini would decide that he had dragged his feet long enough and that he should begin to light the forge. "I hope this little thing can handle my heat." Ishini would smile deeper as a scorch fireball appeared in his hand and scorch chakra would fill his lungs burning the breath out of his lungs. (10)

The blue flames would begin to escape his mouth as he breathed the fire heavily over the fireball he was holding onto causing a massive spray of scorch fire into the forge instantly lighting it to an intense heat. It was far more effective than it used to be trying to light the thing with fire a year or so ago. Ishini would use his monarch ability to grow his wings and fan the flames in a way that collected the scorch heat in the middle of the forge. It was a solid strategy for someone of his abilities. The heat was intense enough to clear the morning mist around the forge as blue flames could be spotted from miles away. Now that the forge was lit, the boy was just waiting for the delivery driver to appear. He needed to wait patiently until he arrived. He had underestimated the speed in which he could travel now especially since his wings allowed him to skip almost all obstacles in the path to the village. He'd take a seat for a moment manipulating his bones around to make hammers, axes, blades, etc to pass the time still impressed at the speeds he could reach with his manipulation using the combination of his abnormal speeds and his knowledge of weapons and their shapes/designs. Bone smith was more than just an application for fighting knowledge. It was a tool for growth and for crafting. He could produce tools, make his wings, add strength and speed to his striking using his his pistons and he was sure to add even more tools to his tool belt with a few ideas he had for steel release. (15) If he could heat his tools to a high enough temperature, he could possibly save the time needed to heat metal all together using his strikes to heat the metal he was working. This partnered with the idea of producing more arms and fanning the heat he would be using with his wings could work into an entirely new crafting method. The first step was being able to produce his steel freely. If the rumors about magnet release were true, then it would be a rather serious danger, but the boy had never seen that specific kkg. He'd shrug. "It's honestly probably a myth. I doubt anyone can just manipulate my metal." His goal was somewhat simple. He needed to find someone to implant steel into his body to be replicated in place of his bones using a delicate procedure. Doing that would evolve his kkg into a kkt that would be a dangerous mixture of his already tricky bone and a heavy core of steel. Of course it was only a thought or a theory, but if it were to work out properly, all his bone techniques would become steel and he'd be able quickly form many different applications for his new mixture. His bone scales, his wings, his vorpal bone weapons. They'd all be metal. A material that is easily heated, conducts electricity, and heavily increases the density of his strikes. He'd wear his devilish smile as the sound of cart wheels approached the incredibly heated forge. The delivery man would be visibly sweating as he approached the blue forge. Ishini would be covered in soot from the insane flames, but otherwise he kept a cool composure while standing close to the forge. (20)

As the man approached, Ishini would walk to him. He could tell the temperature was causing the man a level of discomfort and he was kind enough to deliver all the materials that Ishini had requested so making things more difficult for him would just be rude of Ishini. Ishini would quickly produce a large flat shelf of bone between his two arms to make a table to place all the materials on. "Go ahead and set all the materials on here, I'll bring them to the forge. Sorry for the uncomfortable atmosphere here, It's just how I prefer to forge my tools and weapons." Ishini would chuckle softly as the man quickly placed all the materials on his arms, wiping his brow between trips from the cart and back to Ishini. "Oh I guess my arms are kind of caught up here aren't they? haha" Ishini would chuckle once more as he thought about how to pay the individual for the delivery and materials. with a curious look on Ishini's face, the boy would quickly remember a part of his terrifying form that he had forgotten. He'd quickly extend his tail some incredible distance across using something similar to his clematis vine to grab the massive bag of ryo sitting on the table by the forge. "The agreement just north of four and a half million ryo correct? There should be a bit of a bonus in here for you." Ishini's tail would shrink back to his body and the bag would be slowly snaked around his body before being raised up and placed into the mans arms. "You may count it if you'd like. (25) Ishini in his ignorance would forget the horns that were on top of his head and the long extended limbs his form carried. His terrifying appearance would only be made further unsettling by his tail extending all the way back to the forge behind them. The boy would certainly need to work on his people skills eventually. As the delivery man looked at Ishini, the sweat would fall down his face at a quicker pace than before and a scared look would appear on his face. "I...uh... I think I'm just gunna trust that the amount is correct." The man would get back onto the cart and get the horses in gear to leave. As the man basically peeled off away from the forge, Ishini would just sit there confused. "Did I say something rude?" Before too long he'd simply shrug and take inventory of the materials that he had ordered making sure he had everything he needed to produce the armor he would be making for his customer. "Now let's see here. Kenzo Yamanaka wants a set of heavy chakra armor. Expensive stuff. With resistance to all five base natures and a reinforced frame. Six different augmentations. This should prove rather fun. I'm sure I can knock this out before too long here." Ishini would smile once more ready to do the work he was tasked with. His smile would only grow as he made a sheet of bone and formed a chisel with his bone smith abilities. He had figured paper would be a good choice for the beginning sketches given the intense heat of the scorch powered forge he was working with. So he made makeshift paper out of his bone. (30)

His expertise would certainly be put to the test here. He had only made armor once before and that alone was a bit of a challenge. Now he would be making a set of heavy chakra armor with the most abilities he had ever done before. He began to wonder if Kenzo would want the sketch of the armor on the bone sheet. His pondering was becoming a distraction and it was time for Ishini to sit down and ensure that he was getting to work on the sketch for the armor. He would need to hurry to meet the deadlines that he had set for himself. It was something that would prove to a challenge even for him, but it was one that he gave to himself in order to grow as a smith. The chisel would meet the sheet as he wrote down all the details of the armor to make it explicitly clear what he was doing with the armor. "Okay Lightning resistance, water resistance, wind resistance, fire resistance, earth resistance, and reinforced traits." The chisel would dig into the sheet and permanently set the list of effects into the sketch Given the materials he was using, he would need to be sure that he thought clearly before he sketched into the paper. most of the changes and marking he would make would be irreversibly and thus he'd need to start over if he messed up on the drafting process for the armor. He'd begin by chiseling out a basic shape for the armor and thinking about the way to work the effects into the material for the heavy chakra armor he was producing. He'd decide on working the resistances into the armor by folding the materials in before pressing each individual piece into it's shape. (35)

Before too long he'd have the basic outline and he could work on the finer details at hand. Someone using armor this heavy would surely be using things other than their physical strength to cause damage to their enemy. At least that's what Ishini was assuming. You could never know these days really. No one could have expected a kaguya member to sprout wings or cover themselves in scorch chakra. Ishini was something of an anomaly at this point. A freak that could take an incredible beating and return the favor while focusing on abilities that were based around crafting knowledge. If others thought the way that Ishini did, he was sure they could find away around the heavy weight of the armor they were ordering. No one orders heavy armor on accident. Ishini would smirk as his plans were slowly coming to fruition on the sheet ahead of him. It was all but ready to start heating the metal as he finished what he had left at this time. With a fire in his eyes, the chisel would drag along with the details that Kenzo had instucted Ishini to follow. "Man this armor is going to be able to take quite a hit. I really hope it's of good use to the owner." With a deep breath, the boy would begin to look down at the sheet and nod. It was certainly coming together. Ishini would take a short break from the drafting in order to grab the metal and make trips from the table to the forge, loading a large amount of metal into the super-heated forge that he would be working with for this project. It wouldn't be too long before the boy would really got to work. (40) As he neared the beginning of the actual crafting process the boy would ensure that his sketch was accurate and legible before starting so mistakes wouldn't be made in the process. As he looked down at the sheet of bone he'd grit his teeth in slight annoyance noticing a few etching marks that would be problematic if they were reproduced in the armor. He'd need to start the process over if he wanted it done correctly. With a deep breath Ishini would produce a second sheet and copy the former details down to a tee. The first sheet was almost perfect, but it had minor imperfections that could prove problematic down the road. As his second drafting process neared an end, the boy would take his time painstakingly adding the final details to the sketch of the armor with as much care as he could. He wanted to make sure the template was made without errors. He'd follow the details of the sketch exactly so having flaws would mean that his product wasn't perfect. It wouldn't be too long before he'd begin pulling metal from the forge and starting the final portions of the process ahead of him. All that was left was to take inventory of the metal in the forge and ensure that he had the metal heating in the correct process to have everything ready as he worked through the crafting. Counting back through each effect and the materials needed to produce those effects, the boy would take a short role-call of sorts. "Fire, lightning, wind, earth, and water. And there's the extra metal needed in order to produce the reinforced aspects that Kenzo had requested of me. We should be ready here." (45)

It wasn't too long now. The process was set out ahead of him. His materials were ready and his sketch was made. All that was left was the heavy lifting portion of the process. the crafting. He'd produce a set of tongs and a hammer attached to his hands to make the required tool for crafting. As he took his deep breathes, he'd pick up the large portions of heavy metal and the smaller portions of individual chakra resisting materials. He'd hammer the resisting portions into flat plates that would be placed between folded portions of the main metal for the armor. The fire in his eyes only grew as he began the process. He'd continue folding the metal over and over making sure that the elemental materials he was producing would be folded into every single inch of that armor and that he would be able to ensure the strength and resistance of the armor over time. His hammer strikes were quick and accurate. He wasn't going to be wasting any time as he applied force and speed to his strikes with his pistons behind every strike of the hammer. A smile would be seen from a mile away as the boy finished several long and thick sheets of a material that resisted all the basic chakra forms. These sheets would need to be worked down into smaller pieces but they were without imperfections. every single portion of each sheet carried the resistant qualities of the planned armor and jutsu would have a difficult time breaking through this beast of a metal. (50)

Tue Aug 23, 2022 7:42 pm

Ishini knew that it would be a rather quick process to finish up what he was doing from here. He would take out his axe arm in place of his tongs and use it in combination with his hammer to cleave through portions of the heated metal in order to make smaller pieces that would be placed back into the forge. Each piece would take slightly longer than before now that they resisted fire to an extent. Though, given the boy was working with scorch fire, it certainly wouldn't add too much time to the crafting process. Just a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things here. Ishini was ahead of his schedule as he pulled the heated pieces of metal out of the forge. He'd press each of them into different shapes and include portions to attach each pieces together making sure to attach the metals pieces together only using the same metal in order to counteract any possible weaknesses in the armor. Everything from setting pins, to loops were made with the resistant material he had produced for the armor. It was an interesting process and he was already nearing the end. He had most of the skeleton done and he just needed to do a few more steps to finish up what he was doing. The sheets would all soon be attached and the armor would be made to cover all the appropriate areas with smaller plates covering and weak points in order to provide a full protection from all the basic jutsu that could be used against the armor itself only one more thing to do. (55)

Ishini would quickly begin attaching reinforcement plates over the cracks between all the smaller plates and larger plates as well as a final layer over the larger pieces to provide reinforcement to every inch of the armor. It was heavy, but the armor would surely fulfill its intended purposes. Ishini would step back and admire his work for a moment. He had done it. The armor was done. and perfectly at that. It was a lot of planning, but with his new abilities the crafting processes were far quicker than they had ever been infact, he did the crafting portion quicker than many of the two augmentation items he had done in the past (57)

Ishini had expected to be heading back to Konoha by now, but in the meantime the boy managed to get another job request from Saitou. This one was for his good pal Nikukyuu. That dragon had an attitude for sure, but it didn't really seem to be hostile from Ishini's experience, likely just the type to kick your ass if you messed with it Ishini was excited to see how quickly he could get this build done, though he'd have to wait a bit longer than normal for the material order to come in since he put it in while still in the village rather than while he was traveling between konoha and Kiki like last time. Ishini was thoroughly impressed by Nikukyuu when he met him. The dragon was not only massive, but also seemed regal and though he didn't seem too warm to Ishini, the boy could tell they probably had a better connection that most people that had attempted to talk to him. He was excited to get to work on a project for the dragon that was for sure. Looking over the order, Ishini would smile. "Tail blade huh. And a hot one at that, this'll be really fun that's for sure." As the boy smiled, he'd look around at the forge and take a deep excited breathe. It was always an adventure to start a new project, especially when it's a new weapon type. Ishini wasn't one to make mistakes in his crafting processes however, so that was the least of his worries at the moment. For now the only thing he needed to focus on was honing his skills at multi tasking and producing his works quicker. (5) He toyed with the idea of extra limbs. Two arms with tongs for stabilization would reduce the need to changing grips and save time between strikes while also ensuring that the weapon was cemented in place as he struck down with two hammers that could alternate making the most of the time he had with the heated metal. This change would speed up his crafting significantly and provide a much needed boost in productivity. Though he still had other ideas of course. He already used scorch chakra to light his forge and in fact that had proved highly effective over time especially when paired with his wings to fan the flames. As Ishini thought through this process his mind jumped back to the scorch infused steel production. If he could focus scorch into the tips of his hammers as he struck the metal, he could not only temper the metal as he went, but heat it as well extending the time he had to work with a metal once heated. If Ishini could in fact pull off this feat, that would ensure that he could finish an entire weapon in one heating process while speeding up the heating process with this scorch chakra as well. He'd not at the idea. Then he realized the application of using steel nails heated with scorch to punch through metal in order to connect the pieces of armor or weapons. A smug smile would appear on his face. This would cut down on the time needed to connect pieces and he could bend the nails into circular shapes to make links as well after they are driven through the metal. He was making a lot of progress in the area of crafting and free up time to do more orders. Though he'd likely need to rest between uses of so many chakra using techniques. (10)

Ishini also wondered to what extent he could manipulate lava in his crafting processes. It may be something that is too hot to really work with in a reasonable manner, but it's hard to tell without at least trying. Perhaps, he could use the lava to keep the kindling running in the forge that then carries the flames from his scorch chakra. He had to be careful how much fire he produced though. If there is too much smoke, then there won't be enough air to sustain the fires it'll be important for him to fan the smoke away from the forge from time to time in order to ensure he isn't suffocating the forges flames. As Ishini thought, he'd could feel his body almost changing. He felt like a completely different individual than he was a year ago. Since then he had picked up lava and steel. Two very dangerous and versatile offensive jutsu styles. that also hold incredible potential for utility and defense. In fact, Ishini had a few defensive and utility jutsu that he was working on and around Only time could tell how Ishini would progress as his natures merged into eachother and began to produce his fighting style. He was something of a dangerous mind when it came to working jutsu into eachother. It was the reason he was able to produce so many harmful effects from a singular punch. Ishini would hold back laughing. He loved the idea of completely over powering an opponent with effects they could have never seen coming. Things that just happened to run together in such a way that he would be able to manipulate his own jutsu to a point of evolution. (15)

His bone smith ability for instance is strong on it's own. Ishini's ability to extend it's effects to the entirety of his body while increasing his striking speed further which his bone smith ability is dependent on shows how crafty the boy has had to be in order to make the progress he has. The next steps were to prove himself to his village. Him and Usui were going to climb. Even if Usui wasn't too interested in seeking titles and extra responsibility. The two were almost bred to pursue strength and noteriety. Hell, Usui is a complete genius and makes it a point to show it rather passively from time to time. But they certainly fed off one another. Usui was one of the reasons Ishini decided to start crafting in the first place. He inspired the boy to seek out power from different avenues making them all converge towards a singular goal. For Ishini, this goal is to fight for his friends with his own two hands. To do that Ishini needs to grow in influence and in capital. He tries to price his work competitively so that he can get an order or two made quicker and with more trust than that of other smiths. Even if Ishini hadn't been crafting quite as long as them. It was his goal to prove himself as a master. Ishini's patience and pondering would finally pay off as the boy heard the cart coming towards the forge. This time Ishini opted to wait for the delivery man to get here before lighting the forge so he didn't scare the poor man again. For this Delivery, Ishini was a normal 15 year old kid. to the normal eye at least. (20)

With the delivery arriving, Ishini would approach the man slowly and with a friendly smile. He felt awful for putting the last one in such a weird predicament. The tail, the insane heat, and the horns/wings could have been a bit much. Those things weren't meant for scaring normal people. He would chuckle a bit as he approached the cart. "I hope the travel wasn't too bad. I know it can be a bit cold in Kiri in the mornings and the fog can get you turned around if you're not too careful. Thank you for delivering these for me. You can relax and I'll unload the cart for you." Ishini would start the process of moving each crate over to his tables. There was a lot of metal this time around. Nikukyuu had a big tail and this was going to be a very, very big weapon. Ishini was genuinely shocked at just how much material he had to work with here. But it was worth it for his dragon friend. With a smile on his face, Ishini would unload the final crate and grab the payment for the delivery man. "Thank you sir, I hope the road treats you well on the way back. Hopefully i get to see you again sometime, I'll make sure to have snacks or something ready next time around." With that Ishini would go ahead and begin organizing the crates on the table to get his materials in order before he starts the crafting process. Being unorganized would cost him precious time and he was already feeling rather slugish today. Perhaps the fire from the forge would get him up and ready. (25)

With a deep yawn the boy would approach the forge. On the inhale portion of the yawn, the boy would take in a large amount of air before breathing his scorch flames on to the forge.lighting it almost instantly as his entire body changed into his Monarch and Heavy Monarch forms. The boy felt the strength that this technique bolstered and was almost shocked by it every time. It was strange because as far as it took him. It was just the starting point of his strength. It wasn't his final form but rather a new birth in which he could find his strength and desire to fight. Not to mention it made him closer and more connected to his forging. It gave him the ability to work the metal with his own two hands and make progress that he never thought was possible. Between the strength the boy gained and his connection to his crafting it was a culminating point in which the boy could find his real self. His mind raced with more possibilities for growth. He was ready for the next steps in his training but was certain it would require growth outside of his strength. His crafting would improve if he was able to give himself to improving as a whole though and he would not over look that. With a smile he eyed the materials on the table and began to devise his plans in his head before working on the sketches for the design and working plan for the weapon for Nikukyuu. It was an important order to the boy and getting it done as quickly as possible was important to him. (30)

With the forge warming up, Ishini would make sure to fan the blue flames with his wings, feeding the flames evenly as he continued into his crafting process. The next stage for him was always to draft up the weapon he was going to craft in order to lay out all his plans. It was his process, one that involved setting out plans ahead of himself to avoid making mistakes and cut back on time needed to repair damages or change portions of the items he was preparing. IT was precautionary and professional. He was trusting of his process and guarded it dearly. With a strike of inspiration or ambition, the boy would begin producing a couple sheets of bone pages to have for a couple portions of his crafting. He wanted to separate this project into two parts. The blade and the connect mechanism to keep it attached to the tail in a comfortable way. With a smile, the boy would take a seat in the air, balancing his weight on the large tail he produces with his bones. as he brainstormed the shape, design, and functionality of the weapon and connecting piece. He wanted to give extra are to it since it was for someone that he cared for. Before long, Ishini would have a basic direction that he wanted to take with it. It was now only a matter of getting his ideas down and prepping the materials before he could push through this process and have the weapon prepared for Saitou. It was great to be doing things for the group he considered family. (35)

Fire was lit in the boys eyes as he transform his right hand into a small chisel to begin etching into the sheet of bone. The blade would be the first task and the easier of the two. He'd list the abilities first in order to keep everything organized and at arms reach during his preparation. "Vorpal.......Fire coating.....Elemental blast.... Got it." The words were slowly and carefully engraved into the sheet as the boy did his best to make it as neat and orderly as humanly (or demonly) possible. He preferred to have immaculate handwriting whenever possible, especially with a chisel. With the effects listed properly, Ishini would stary by deciding on the curvature of the blade and the type of edge that he wanted making sure to diagram the weapon both in its flat and pointed profiles in order to get a base idea for how he'd like the weapon to strike and cut. With more detail Ishini would begin to decide if he would like to add any engraving or filogry to the weapon as decoration, but decided against it for the most part as Nikukyuu might not want his tail blade to look too pretty honestly. It would look far more menacing without it. As Ishini was closing out the details on the blade, he'd make sure to pour over his notes one last time in order to account for all the details and make sure no mistakes were made in the sketching process. Once he had decided he was happy with his work, he'd set the sheet down and grab the second one. (40)

Starting on the basic ideas of the connecting piece for the weapon, he's make sure to begin with basic materials and strapping. He'd need to use metal for sure. Leather would get burned or torn with Nikukyuus motions and the heat coming from the blade and it's accompanying jutsu. Before long, Ishini concluded that he could likely put leather under the bracings as they would be covered and provide at least some cushion between the blade and the tail itself. He wanted to make sure that this weapon wouldn't cause any damage to Nikukyuu at ally time during use. After deciding on the padding, Ishini would then work on mapping the points and connections for the braces and the blade. Then he'd throw his metal in the forge. It was time to get the actual process done. The metal would heat up rather quickly given the intense heat that Ishini produced. He'd read through his notes once more before finally settling on the design and finding himself content with the strategies and processes involved with them. He couldn't help but smile as he looked down at his sheets and then over at the metal in the forge that would soon be crafted and pressed into this weapon. His hands would turn into the familiar tong and hammer set as he watched the metal in the forge turn from a joyful yellow to a warm embracing orange. The hue was an indicator of the preparation required of the metal before working it into its intended shape for the project (45)

It was time to start. Grabbing several sheets of metal, Ishini would begin hammering the basic shape of the blade, needing to connect multiple pieces of metal that wouldn't all fit into the forge as once piece. The blade would take a basic shape over time as the process continued. He'd make sure to work in the coating and blast portions of the weapon during this process in a way that would ensure their active use through combat over the entirety of the weapon. it was important to Ishini that every portion of his weapons worked perfectly the first time around. before too long the weapon itself was finished as he hammered the edge down to a vorpal finish and began the work on the harness. With care and precision, he would grab the last pieces of the metal from the forge and begin hammering them into the appropriate shapes. The harness pieces would soon be connected with metal joints and hinges for a comfortable fit over the tail and then fitted with leather and some thick padding to create a buffer for the Nikukyuu's tail as he ended the process. It wouldn't be too long before the boy had things done and finished. With a smile on his face, Ishini would connect the last of the pieces and admire the work on the table in front of him. The full blade and harness were completed and Ishini was ready to present the weapon to Saitou and Nikukyuu at their earliest convenience. He was very excited to see them (50)

Ishini flew in quickly. He had a project he needed to get done in a rather quick pace. The event he was participating in had set him a couple of days behind schedule and on top of that he had to take a break from the event just to come work on this weapon, though he made sure to leave his two shadow clones behind in his stead. With his armor it would take lethal damage to destroy them anyways. The boy would smile as he flew towards the forge. He has been flying for a couple of months now, but he still enjoyed it far more than most forms of travel. There was a freedom to it that was unrivaled and the speed of travel was exhilarating. He had almost forgotten how much a pain it was to run around all over the place to travel when he didn’t want to. He was excited that he was able to grow this much. His strength was surging and the pure focus of his chakra was beyond that of a normal human. He could utilize four basic chakra natures, three kekkei genkei, and a KKT. Ishini had become a weapon, one that could help him to continue on through his training and make progress towards his even loftier goals that lay ahead of him. The next step for him was working on defense and finding time to push the limits beyond what he had previously been locked into. No one expected a Kaguya to fly, or break the ground with just his footsteps, but this was just the beginning. After his defenses were bolstered more, his next goal would be to focus purely on his crafting and develop some weapons and tools to improve his combat and crafting. With a settled smile, the boy would finally see the forge in the distance. The wind ran through Ishini’s hair as he neared his destination. His body was prepared to make works of art. This blade that was requested of him would be an interesting project. Wind, ice, vorpal and returning. His first 6 slot weapon. He was beyond excited to get to work, but for now he needed to plan and order his steps. (5)

Ishini began to fall into thought of how to tackle this weapon. He wanted to make sure that he would be in complete focus and deliver on the idea that he had been given. His customer had certainly wanted the weapon like this for a reason and Ishini never liked to disappoint when it came to crafting. Ishini made sure that all the necessary materials were listed in the order form that he was sending out for the crafting process. He was a bit behind schedule, but ordering the materials now would give him time to prepare himself and his planning for the weapon that he was making. He shifted his attention to the order and created a shadow clone to go out and deliver the form, making sure he as getting extra materials just in case so that he would ensure he had enough for now and some extra things to play with as he continued on in his process of preparation. Ishini's mind began to jump to his training. He needed to grow and become stronger and needed to prepare for the different routes necessary for that progression. His fists clenched as he thought of possible pathways to strength and power. He needed to defend himself and those close to him His taijutsu was already beyond that of most people's potential. He thought of pushing the limits further, but also wanted to see where he could end up if he went for a more well-rounded approach opposed to strictly taijutsu and chakra control. Perhaps his medical skills could be bolstered in some way and another skill (10)

As Ishini pondered, his mind moved from surpassing limits to surpassing explanation. Implanting the steel in his bones would ensure a rather ridiculous form of strength and defense, let alone the simple added benefits of having a steel bone structure. Though this would be quite complicated to ensure accuracy. While Ishini thought, he'd begin to gather the coals in the forge towards the middle in order to light the forge properly. Of course he wouldn't light the forge until aftert he delivery person arrived, since the insane heat and Ishini's menacing presence likely wasn't all that welcoming to visitors. With reluctance, Ishini would begin to think about other crafting processes that he wanted to pursue. He couldn't exactly ignore the fact that his strength was being limited by his own reluctance to produce weapons and such for himself. He still lacked several pieces that would all but ensure him bolstered strength. With a long sigh he'd begin thinking about a set of boots that would improve not only his kick, but provide a nice upgrade to the entirety of Ishini's body with his bone smith abilities. It was what set him apart from other crafters, and even from other kaguya members. He was the material and his bones had effects. He'd smirk as he thought of the idea fire coating or a form of elemental weapon that would extend a chakra nature through his bones for added versatility in combat. It could certainly bolster some ridiculous strength for the boy given the correct implementation of the project (15)

He'd stare at the forge and think about the possibilities as he drew his attention back to the project at hand. He needed to make a great weapon for his customer. and a unique on at that. four separate effects that all fed into eachother in some form or another compounding one ability to the other. Ice, wind, and vorpal. He could coat form his weapon out of ice and then improve it's cutting ability with both wind and vorpal. If he stacked the flying swallow on top of that, this weapon could be seriously dangerous against an opponent. It was smart, very smart in fact. Ishini was not only impressed but inspired. He could certainly use this as an inspiration for his own fighting. Then the idea jumped out at Ishini. A pair of lava boots that normally formed as a set of ankle rings until ready to be used. His main element was scorch. Building on that heat would ensure for rather interesting outcomes. Ishini couldn't help but laugh when he realized this meant that he could coat himself in lava, wind, and scorch while being made of metal if his medical plans worked out as he planned. And an idea he had for a seal as well once his fuinjutsu had grown in scope and range. Ishini needed to make sure that he thanked his new friend for the idea. Of course, Ishini had another idea or two for the boots, but this would be the base for sure. It meant that he could increase the strength of his entire body through the crafting of a single item, and that excited him. (20)

For now though, Ishini's focus needed to be on the ice, wind, and vorpal weapon ahead of him with returning. Ishini would begin to smirk as he took a seat and began doing some rough sketches of the weapon while waiting for the materials he had ordered as his clone arrived back from delivering the order paperwork. (edited)

With all the energy that Ishini had, he was sure that he could knock this weapon out relatively quickly as soon as he received the materials. He was a rather fast crafter, though he was a careful one always drawing up his plans before actually working the metal to ensure mistakes weren't being made left and right. As the boy thought about the delivery, he remembered that he had promised snacks and such to the delivery man next time he came by. It would be rude of him to forget, luckily for him the cart couldn't move fast enough to keep up with Ishini, so hopefully he would be able to pick up a few things before the delivery arrived. Ishini would go into larch and grow his wings as he took flight to a local restaurant to grab some food and sake for the man. Ishini was surprised the man had allowed him to purchase it given his age, but in fairness Ishini didn't really look like a child thanks to his wild training. Before flying back, he'd gather some water and little snacks from the local shops to bring back. In total he had chips, energy bars, water, sake, ramen/chicken, and a few little candies for the man delivering the materials to him. He was just hoping to be hospitable. (25) Ishini would fly back with haste and thankfully make it back before the man had arrived. With this, he'd be able to ensure a postive relationship with the man after scaring the crap out of him the first time they had met. He really needed to be more careful with how he addressed his abilities and how he greeted people. With a bit of thought, Ishini would make sure that his bone abilities weren't activated when meeting new people. He wasn't afraid of being attacked or targetted for his abilities these days as his kkg was more scary than it was intriguing in his opinion. No one wanted to force bones out of their body. Those belonged inside your body. Ishini would laugh as he began to think about the implementation of his current thoughts. He was certainly a dork at time, as much as he tried to pretend that he was completely stoic. With a smile he'd set down the food and such for the man on a table outside of the forge. Ishini was certain that it was only a matter of time before man arrived now and that prospect made Ishini quite happy and excited to get to work. Deep down he was still a kid as gifted as he was at crafting his playful heart would always take the forefront of his attention. He'd run through his rough sketches of the sword and try to settle on a general direction as he waited for the materials to arrive so that he could get started with what he had planned for the day. It was beginning to get quite warm outside and the heat always inspired Ishini. (30) Ishini would grow almost impatient as he activated his augmented hearing and then quickly get a smile on his face as he heard the approaching cart. He knew the familiar sound of the horses hooves hitting the dirt pathways and moving towards the forge for the delivery. Ishini would stand up and wait in anticipation as the man grew closer making sure the snacks and food that he had prepared would be prepared for the man. Ishini was almost nervous as he looked at the table. He was hoping it wasn't too much or too weird to receive things in this manner for delivering. As Ishini saw the man with the cart, he'd raise his hand above his head and wave from a distance receiving his own wave in return. The man had really gotten then rather quickly and that always meant a lot to Ishini. It meant that he could get to work faster than otherwise. With a smile Ishini would greet the man and motion towards the table he had prepared with snacks and such. "Thank you very much for your speed, as promised I have snacks and food prepared this time around. Can't have ya working too hard out there without food and water to keep you energized." The two would bow to eachother as the man inspected the table and took a seat with a bowl of ramen and a small glass of sake. Ishini would also take his own seat bowing his head before taking his own glass of sake and a second bowl of ramen to enjoy the time in connection with someone else. (35)

It was a nice break from the normal pace to just sit down and eat in peace with an aquaintance. Ishini could tell that the man had appreciated the time as well as he patiently ate his ramen and such before making small talk to Ishini. "You know kid, I've never had someone go out of their way to do something like this." The man would chuckle a bit before continuing. "I've been delivering things like this for years and you've been both the scariest and the kindest customer I think I've met, you're an interesting character you know that?" The man would bow his head respectfully as he talked to Ishini. Ishini would return the bow to make sure the man knew that he didn't take any offense by his words. "Yeah, I have a habit of scaring people before I befriend them. And hey, you must be pretty strong yourself if you still delivered to me after the first meeting. "Ishini would laugh as they finished a couple glasses of sake. Before too long Ishini would bow once more as he stood up. "Take your team and eat as much as you'd like and take the rest for the road. I"m going to unload the cart and lay the materials out for the project I'm working on." The man would then exchange a smile and nod as he continued relaxing and eating. Ishini would take multiple trips back and forth to his material table as he moved his order into it's correct place. With a confident smile, Ishini would finish up the unloading and begin organizing everything into their correct locations before settling on a general order for materials and the process. (40)

Ishini would wave the man off as the man prepared the cart to leave. “Have a great rest of your day! I’ll see ya around for the next project sir!” With that Ishini switched his attention to the project he finally had the materials to begin. He’d take a deep breathe before ordering his materials his steps in his head. First thing was to light the forge. As ishini backed up, a blue flame would appear in his hand that he’d promptly toss into the forge as his body shifted into his fighting style to aid in preparing the flames and working the materials in the way that was comfortable to him and his crafting process. His wings would quickly protrude as he began to fan the forges scorching flames. Quickly the fire would grow to a decent point as ishini began to place some of the metal inside. With the heat, it was time for ishini to make his bone sheets to sketch out the plan for the weapon he was working on. He’d start off with just the handle. He wanted to weapon to sit comfortable in the users hand as it was used. The sketch was certainly rough at first, it felt as if Ishini had been rushing to finish the project, he needed to start a new pad at a better pace to finish in a timely but neat pace. His hands would grow comfortable to the stone tablet as he worked carefully and quickly on the design for the weapon that had been ordered. Ishini was making great progress. The handle was ornate but not restrictive. Something that would be a show piece as much as it was an operable weapon for combat. He’d grow happy with the current progress and work on the pommel of the weapon. He’d decide on a general direction and start on a separate page of bone for working through those ideas. (45)

As Ishini looked down at his designs, he'd give them a nod of approval before moving on and picking one of them to use for the actual sword itself. He'd end up going with one was made from pieces of his bone to add some texture and personal details to the blade. He'd make sure to scorch the pieces to make them a dark burnt grey. With the pommel in mind, Ishini's plan would then jump to the guard of the blade. He wanted something simple yet intricate that could work great with the ice and wind covering of the blade that he was crafting. Once He could settle on the pommel, the guard, and the handle, he'd have most of the solid materials worked out. Taking a deep breath, Ishini would draft many different hilts for the weapon taking his time before settling on a specific one trying to work around the deep blue of the ice. His work would begin to pay off as his details became increasingly intricate within his different designs. His face would light up as he finally found the perfect one for the design going with a quite difficult piece to carve, but the hard work was sure to pay off with the time that was given to it.He could do nothing but smile as he put the final touches on the main sketch of the weapon. With the main sketch created, Ishini would place it at the top corner of the table and form his mask in order to keep some of the smoke out of his lungs as he morphed his arms in to a pair of tongs and a hammer to begin making the quite detailed handle that would form the chakra weapon. (50)

Ishini's arms were almost trembling as he grabbed the metal from the forge with his bone tongs. He'd feel the warmth move through his arm as the welcomed orange lump of chakra conducting metal began to cool to a yellow as it was placed on the forge in front of him. Before too long, the boy would take a deep breathe and strike the hammer for the first time against the metal beginning to shape the handle into the perfected shape before making an audible and twisting the metal heavily before dropping it back into the forge. He'd do this several times before hitting the beautifully ornate metal flat and folding it in half multiple times. It would take more work, but he'd keep folding and twisting and hammering the piece flat again. As it took shape, it would appear as many different sheets of metal pressed together. These sheets were created in a way that they would have no origin or end. A single sheet of metal made into a gorgeous black piece of damascus. With a sigh of relief, Ishini would hammer the piece one more time in order to make the handle. Sadly there would be fabric over most of the damascus, but the bits that showed would be gorgeous. It was the small details that made Ishini happy with his works. The boy would be content with his work as long as everything came out the correct ways and he could manage to prepare his materials in a reasonable time while allowing plenty of time for creativity and thought. (55)

The boys arms would grow heavier as he began to work on the smaller details of the handle. He'd etch in the work to apply the returning, coating, vorpal, and elemental blade functions. These small details would then be covered by the fabric in order to hide it from the naked eye. He'd then begin to work on the pommel, producing several small bones in the perfect shapes to bet worked into the metal as he then lowered them into the scorching flames to burn the surfaces of the bone thoroughly. His bones would temper beautifully as he worked it into the pommel carefully. His next focus would be on the final detail. The hilt he was going to be using details from the rest of the handle and bringing the piece together. for this, Ishini would punch out the basic shape of the materials before changing his hands into a chisel and small hammer to work on intricate details. He'd place the chisel strikes in the perfect places in order to produces the shapes he needed. He'd add perfect curvature to the hilt as he then placed it on top of the handle forming it together with a few more small pieces of his own bone to add some special details to the blade. With the weapon finished, Ishini would hold it up before tossing it far away from him and returning it to his palm and activating it promptly. With a smile the ice blade shot out of the handle and winds covered the blade causing the area around Ishini to feel cold and bitter. It was finished and ready for delivery.

Hinoishi awoke and blacked out. All the papers on the dojo floor were scattered and torn in half once. Hinoishi’s clothes were wet and dirty. It turns out that while Hinoishi was in his meditative state he had done all of the missions that were laid before him. He had diffused many paper bombs in a bath house without anyone noticing, he had captured a loose donkey, he had completely destroyed a building and lead an entire construction project with a team of workers to put a new one up, he hadunclogged a river and purified one of Suna’s watering holes that was contaminated. He had ensured the departure of an evicted family, he had collected processed sand and escorted it back to the village, he had advertised suna’s new weather dome to rich folk to get more donors. When Hinoishi woke up his head felt like it had been chopped up into tiny bits the cook over blue flames for hours until it turned to goo. Hinoishi couldn’t help but wince at the pain. Hinoishi crawled across the dojo through the hallway and into his bed. He fell asleep only realizing the work he had done the next day.
