The Lessons we Learn when we watch and Listen (NK)

The Back of the Kunai struck the fake Stein and a full Log appeared, the real Stein stepping out into the clearing and picking up the Kunai and tossing it back to Kaos, a smirk on his face as he noted to the boy "Very Clever, I was hoping to see that one technique that you attempted before, what a shame, Well what would be the next One? oh and as for your earlier question, No, no trading of any sort could be done for you to gain my powers... cept maybe one... take me in as your student, Help me gather the materials I need, and you will have my services, as long as I can gather knowledge and maybe even teach you as well, I will be content, that's about the closest your getting to be able to obtain my powers" Stein gave the boy a moment for this all to sink in.

In the Distance actual Wolves could be heard howling, and the glasses on Stein's face slide, not like he needs them, its just for appearances the moon light glared on them and he pushed them back up, his eyes glinting a bit. No stars were out this was a rather eerie setting, and this just made Stein's smile that appeared on his face all the much more scarier, this would effect most people, now as to rather it rattled the young boy or not, that was a difference story, yes he was a ninja, but one of low experience, and recently rattled by the trauma of watching that...Demon... terrorize his village as well as himself personally, but maybe the boy would use it and become like batman... Idolize his fear and make others fear it as well, but with him switching roles, the Bad guy made to fear... himself? One will not know till the kid has the chance to prove himself through

Kaos blinks in surprise, first at Stein's reaction, and offer, and second at how much time had passed since Kaos had first set out. The moon had risen, and the wolves were out howling. A strange effect seemed to happen to Stein, as he tried to be intimidating, but Kaos wasn't convinced of it. Kaos had seen what Stein could do, and the fact that he wanted training from Kaos only meant that he wasn't strong enough yet.
Kaos looks at Stein, then proceeds over to Stein, sticking out his hand, and saying, "I accept. I will teach you all I know."
If Stein takes his hand, unbeknowest to Stein, Kaos would mark seal him, mixing his chakra into Stein's, making a mark on the hand, the palm, that was hidden by Kaos's hand, it quickly forms, and disappears, unseeing.
Kaos would jump back five meters then and say, "Hold still, I'm going to try something." 
He would form the summoning technique jutsu hand signs, moving Stein from five meters away to right in front of Kaos. He would smile after the fact saying, "Okay, got that down. Um, by the way, just to let you know, not that there's much you can do about it right now, but I just Mark Seal which allows me to track you. And now i just learned summoning technique, so don't think you can do anything bad and get away. For mark seal, you pretty much combined your chakra with somebody else through touch."
If Stein doesn't take his hand, Kaos would reach over and touch Stein on the forehead, forcing the mark seal on Stein still, then doing the same thing he would of done if Stein had shaken his hand.

[twc 2501]

Stein would indeed accept the hand of the man in acceptance of the deal, this was a common concept to acknowledge the sealing of a deal, then suddenly the kid rushed off a little way away and ranted on and on about something, then suddenly the next thing Stein knew was he was teleported to the Kid's Location, ok he knew he did not move, he stood there thinking about it for a moment then it clicked... The handshake Stein looked up at him and Smirked "So your learning devious tactics from me already huh? That Handshake was no ordinary Handshake was it? you did something to me to allow this to happen didn't you?" then the Kid went on another tangent, and his thoughts confirmed, this was becoming a beautiful friendship already, both already learned from the other, and both seemed to be rather fast at learning too.

Stein would nod and then ask the kid "So What is your name?" Meanwhile Stein was practicing flowing his chakra to his hands, and began to scour the area for a creature or something to mark, then Looking up at he Cat of the kids asked him "Mind if I practiced on your Cat? As I assume your a little much for me to handle at this moment to summon" Stein would await the answer, he had no idea how attached to the cat the kid maybe or even visa versa, but this is a technique he wanted to practice, and the cat was the perfect specimen.

Kaos looks at Stein, and says, "Name's Kaos, oh and trust me, I was devious before I met you. You just brought it out more in me."
Kaos whistles, and Jeff comes bounding back to Kaos, purring and rubbing himself up on Kaos's leg. Kaos stoops down, and picks up Jeff, he looks at Stein, and says, "You won't be able to do what I just did to you, summoning you like that, because that's a completely different jutsu, and it's a little more powerful than the mark seal you're about to mark my cat with. Later, when you've grown stronger, I'll teach you the summoning technique later, seeing how you're becoming my apprentice. We'll have plenty of time later to learn from each other."
He holds Jeff out to Stein, trusting Stein with his familiar. and says, "Although, you are marking my cat, this to will help you find me as well, if you have need of me, because this cat follows me around."
After Stein finishes the jutsu up, Kaos will say, "Successful?"
If Steins says no, Kaos would say, "Okay, try again, till you get it."
Then he would proceed as if Stein had say yes, because eventually, or more of hopefully, Stein would say yes.
If Stein says yes, Kaos will nod, taking his cat back, then say, "Thought so, you are a fast learner. The next one to practice is I guess transformation, seeing as we haven't practice that basic jutsu yet. Jeff, hunt."
Jeff would bound off into the forest once more. Kaos would watch Jeff for a second, before turning back and saying, "Alright, here, you go. Transformation."
Kaos would do the necessary hand signs for Transformation, changing himself into Stein. he hold the jutsu for a second, then bored, turns back into his reguar self and says, "Okay, your turn. Easy as any other I have to say."
 
[twc 2817]

As the Cat was thrusted towards him he would do as the Kid instructed earlier, Pushed the Chakra he had in his body towards his hands and placed them on the cat, upon touching the cat would mark it, and then he would pull his hands away to watch the mark disappear, also so that Kaos could see that he had in fact succeeded then he would speak to the kid " Thank you so much Kaos and Nice to meet you" then the next lesson started, transformation, after the cat ran away of course, After watching the hand signs, and studying how accurate the transformation was, he would nod as the kid transformed back, he would then mimic the kid and transform into the kid with the same technique, and then after the kid told him if anything was wrong or not he would then transform back, ready to try again if need be, but he was sure he was rather spot on, but one may never know.

If he was successful he would await the next jutsu, suddenly a wolf appeared at the other end of the clearing growling and Stein would cue in "You know Interesting facts about Wolves they hunt in packs, meaning we are most likely already surrounded, so we either fight or get up to a high place, know anything for either of those that I can learn?" Stein questioned, he would take this time to learn if he could, but he was not afraid to kill some wolves, I mean hell all those poor kittens back in tenga....

Kaos looks at the wolf that had appeared, he sees foaming at the mouth, and he quickly whistles to Jeff. Jeff come bounding over to him, moving to get behind Kaos. Kaos grabs the katana in the right sheathe saying, "Nah, this is where we get practical."
The first wolf runs towards Kaos, and Kaos rushes at it, sidestepping the wolf, then loping off it's head. The wolf's body falls to the ground, and the head goes flying, ending near Stein's feet. Eight more wolves appear, then one huge wolf steps into the clearing, each wolf can be seen to be foaming at the mouth and Kaos sighs. He looks at Stein and says, "Do you need a Katana to protect yourself with? I have extra."
The huge wolf howls, and the other eight wolves start to growl. Two drop to their haunches and launch themselves, one towards Stein, the other towards Jeff.
"Jeff, claws," Kaos says, as a third wolf launches itself at Kaos. Kaos throws the katana in his hand, to land next to Stein's left foot, sticking out of the ground for Stein's use. He changes one of the rings on his fingers into katana just in time to slice the katana into and through the wolf's mouth. The lower jaw, and the body fall to the ground, the upper jaw and top part of the head balanced on the blade. Kaos tilts his wrist, the wolf's upper  head part slides off. He looks back at Jeff, in time to see Jeff use his claws to claw at the face of the wolf, the wolf scatters back, howling in pain, before trying to launch itself at Jeff again. Kaos turns, and hurls the katana in his hands at the wolf, going through the wolf, and causing the katana and wolf to hurl into a tree, pinning the wolf into a tree and it starts to thrash around and bleed out.
Kaos thinks, "I'm sorry, but you're a threat to my cat, and to myself, therefore, I must kill you to protect my family. The only family that's left, my cat, that I saved.'
 Kaos changes the other ring into a katana, readying himself for the next assault. The alpaha howls once again, and the wolves get ready to attack again. Kaos looks back at Stein, making sure he was doing okay.

[twc 3211]

Stein Didn't even Bother, He was hoping to learn that one jutsu from earlier, or the one he watched other people do to climb tree's, Oh well, he would wait till the wolf got close and then when it jumped he would catch it by the throat and watch as a bunch of tendrils bust through the throat of the wolf, enough to appear to be the size of his arm, and then they would slink back into his body as he let go of the wolf and watched it drop to the ground, ignoring the sword that was sent to him, instead he would make a handful of the tentacles appear, and acting like a pair of swords would appear to be going through the wolves that would come next, hacking legs out from under them before cutting their heads off, or even catching one in mid air and bisecting its jaw and all the way down its tail in a straight line, once he was finished with the wolves left other then the alpha he would have his tentacles go back into his arms and waited to see what the Kaos kid would do

Kaos looks at him,  watching Stein destroy the other six wolfs. He grins and says, "Way to go overboard. I mean, i got three, and the alpha, though I guess the alpha might be a little harder."
He looks at the alpha, who had launched itself towards Kaos, Kaos laughs, running, sliding underneath the wolf going over Kaos's head, Kaos slices the middle of the wolf, cutting straight through. The wolf lands, and manages to turn and face Kaos, before it collapses on itself. Kaos walks over to it, stabing the katana through it's brain, leaving the katana there. He looks around him, every wolf dead, even the one that Kaos had pin to a tree.
He looks at Stein and says, "So let's finish up the last three jutsus I can teach you."
He walks over to a tree, and stops, "You know, perfect time, to help increase my bloodline power."
Kaos activates Sandirirsu, pushing it to the next level. Three fourths of his body starts to pulse, his upper body, and his right leg glowing  and pulsing yellow, the color of thunder, his left leg and head did not start glowing. He sighs, and pops his neck, and says, "This feels good. Ugh, yes. The power of my bloodline, coursing through my veins giving me more strength."
A shiver runs through his spine, as he remembers that this stage of the bloodline was the most dangerous, the most likely to get him killed in a fight. He keeps it activated though, enjoying the rush of power he was feeling all around him.
He looks at Stein and says, "No, just to get it out of the way. I'm not willing to give away my own bloodline. If i sound like an idiot to you because I replied to you before you asked, or replied to a nonexistent question. It's just that I've been through an experience that I rather not repeat, the ripping out of one of my own body parts, I'm not keen on allowing it to happen again."
He pauses, and says, "To continue, surface walking. Easy enough, walk up the side of a tree, while focusing chakra into your feet. As easy as, one, two, three."
At his count he starts climbing up the tree, hanging out, parallel to the ground, and he flips off the tree landing, looking at Stein, and says, "After you finish that up, I'll teach you the next one. Please no interruptions between training, it's getting late, and deadlier things then wolves could show up."
After Stein finishes surface walking jutsu, Kaos would launch into the next jutsu. He grabs his kunai, and slicing open his palm, he does the hand signs for Medical Ninjutsu, level 1. He heals up his hand, showing Stein, as it heals up, it taking only two minutes to heal up.
"Medical Ninjutsu, level 1. Heals minor wounds, up to broken bones, the next level heals broken bones. Anyways," Kaos says, slicing open his palm again, and says, "Heal."
After Stein finishes healing up his palm, he says, "For the last jutsu, I need you to trust me. This jutsu I was going to use against you earlier, it's nothing dangerous, mostly embarrassing. Don't worry though nobody but me and Jeff to see your embarrassment as this jutsu is used against you. Now then, relax, and no shooting threads at me. I rather not have to dodge that again, i might grab my katanas and start chopping them up, over and over again."
Kaos laughs at his own joke. He then loks at Stein and say, "Okay, I'll just walk around you. Relax, no sudden movements."
Kaos gets behind Stein, then doing thousand years of death on Stein's but. He says, "Thousand years of death."
If Stein does what Kaos says, and not overreact, nor react by shooting out his threads, then Stein would be launched five meters away from Kaos. Kaos would then look at Stein and say "Tiger, repeat on me, if you wish, if not, tiger in the butt, launches opponents, if you can catch them off guard. If not, you probably will get weird looks."
Kaos would wait for Stein, to either try the jutsu or not. If he tried, Kaos would resist the launching effect of the jutsu, but otherwise allow Stein to do the jutsu on him. After Stein did that or did not, and after Stein had finish up all the jutsu traiing, Kaos would look at Stein and says, "Good job, that's all i got for you. For now, so unless you want to change katana blows, I can't think of anything else for us to do."
He would the release his bloodline, having unlocked the next level, glad for the extra power that it brought him He looks towards Stein and says, "Your move, I guess."

[twc 4021, 2k/2k summoning technique, 2k/2k sandirirsu level 3]

Stein would watch as the kid took care of the Alpha wolf, was a little less dramatic then he was expecting, there was no toying with the wolf or anything, was not very entertaining, Maybe Stein should have fought the wolf instead, he would sigh and shrug, Oh well, he would then listen as the surface walking was explained and watched as it was demonstrated, so he would mimic the same thing that Kaos did, and walked up the tree, not lifting the other foot off the ground until he felt the foot on the tree hold strong, then the other foot would lift as he was suspended in the air, then he walked up the tree and across the bottom of the branch and hung there for a moment, suspended upside down by his own chakra, that was rather interesting to be certain, he would then do a sit up basically, crunching his stomach to bend half way over, then he would grab the branch with his hands as he canceled the jutsu and let go of the branch after his feet dislodged from the tree, so his feet was close to the ground first.

Then he would watch as the kid cut himself, rather brave for one so young, but maybe this is part of what Ninja were taught, to not be afraid, to the point of hurting themselves, then he monitored the hand signs of the technique and watched it heal the hand of the kid, alright he could do this, and he watched as the kid did it once more to his hand, then held it to stein, to heal, and so Stein would mimic the same hand signs he had seen the kid do earlier, and he would of course heal the wound just like he predicted he would, he actually picked up on this quicker thanks to his knowledge of the human anatomy, speaking of a body to experiment on would be awesome right now, oh well, he would continue his work at some later date, anyways back to the previous train of thought, training.

It took Everything In Stein's Will not to move or counter the kid heading behind him, and sure enough as the kid went on, he was sent flying into the air, but Stein would catch himself, as he flew up into the air he would point the palms of his hands down and summon his tendrils , stopping himself in the air, and looking over at the kid, he lowered himself to the ground and landed on his feet, and he would do as the kid instructed, he walked behind him, and even though he was tempted to flat palm the kid in the ass and send tentacles up his rear, he didn't, instead he did as he was told to do, made the tiger sign and... WHAM! Slammed the fingers up, Now he didn't expect it to effect the kid, but that was a rather simple technique and could see why this was the technique that kaos wanted to show him first, after words he would look around, and then shook his head and he would say to kaos "Na I think it is time for Camp, I will take first watch"

After that Stein went out to gather wood for a fire, and rocks to keep it contained, knowing the fire would keep the wolves away and not worried about giving away his position to anyone else who might see the smoke from the fire, let alone the light, it was not a very high fire, but enough to be started and keep a general five meter radius warm enough for the Kid to sleep, As Stein waited for the kid to sleep, Stein began thinking of medical supplies he needed, and some other items that would be useful, Money made it all happen, and money was something he did not have, he let out a soft sigh as his thoughts continued on and on about Money

Kaos laughs, at Stein saying he would take the first watch. Kaos whistles to Jeff, the cat rambling towards Kaos. James takes a knee, scratching Jeff's ears, and then say, "Hunt, bring back some rabbits for dinner."
Jeff goes bounding off into the forest, and Kaos stays on his knees as Stein makes a fire. He watches Stein, and says, "As we wait for Jeff to come back with some rabbits, I would like to do some practicing. Be careful, as what I'm about to do, can get very dangerous. I don't want to hurt you yet, before I see how strong of an potential you can get to."
Kaos walks over to a huge tree, in the north, at the edge of the clearing, bigger than most around in. Kaos looks at the tree, and places a hand upon the tree. He grins, then starts to weave various hand she signs for the powerful jutsu called Chidori, he holds out one hand, and starts to focus his lightning chakra into his hand, it doesn't seem to be working, so he focuses hard, and manages to cover his hand. He's not certain that it's the jutsu he could use, but he tries to punch the tree with the chakra he covered in his hand. when his hand land, it feels as if he's punching normally. He shakes his hand off, and says, "Okay, definitely not how that's suppose to work. I'm suppose to be able to probably punch straight into this tree, or at least destroy it."
He sighs, and not hearing Jeff come back yet, dragging a rabbit with him, he decides to try again, weaving the hand signs again. He concentrates again, focusing the chakra into his hands. It covers his hands once again, this time a little stronger, but Kaos knew that it wasnt strong enough to punch through the tree.He grunts and says, "Stronger, it has to get stronger than this."
He continues focusing his chakra, making it coverage into his hands. He keeps pooling the chakra into his hands, trying to make it stronger, stronger. It grows slightly, but the strength and size of the jutsu doesn't seem to grow much. Frustrated, he slams his hand into the tree, and once again, it feels like he is punching something normally, not with his full strength or full power. He sighs, tired from even the two greatly weakened lightning punches he had thrown at the tree. Of course, he had also been showing Stein some jutsu, but not enough, to drain him as much as it had. He stumbles over to the fire, taking a knee, and whistiling for Jeff. The cat comes back, dropping a rabbit at Kaos's side, then rumbles back into the forest.
"Here start cooking this one, Stein, I'll wait for whenever Jeff comes back this next time. Jeff and I will share that rabbit."
Kaos sits down in the fire, then he reaches out with his mind, attemmpting to see what Jff was seeing. An image appears, of bushes, and trees, and darkness. The cat's eyes peer out into the darkness of the forest, the fire's light giving enough fire to be seen. The cat was stalking his next prey, a rabbit that was nibbling on grass late at night. 
"Interesting, " Kaos thinks, "That rabbits out late."
The cat pounces, catching the rabbit, catching the rabbit off guard. To Kaos, it seems, as if the image moved up and down, landing on the rabbit, a streak of blood appearing within the image of the rabbit., Then, thre rabbit hanging limp, comes back towards the cmp, the fire, and the warmth.The images fades, and Kaos sees Jeff, with a rabbit in its mouth, coming towards Kaos. Jeff drops the rabbit next to Kaos, and Kaos says, "Jeff, fetch a stick for me."
Jeff bounds off and grabbing a stick within his mouth, brings it back to Kaos. Jeff sets the stick next to Kaos, before lying down close to the fire. Kaos starts skinning the rabbit, after finishing skinning, he drops it into his lap, then sharpens the pont of the stick. He then sticks the rabbit on the stick, then puts the rabbit into the fire. He watches the rabbit cook, after a few minutes, he takes it out, testing a little of it before declaring it good.He cuts some pieces off, tossing them near Jeff. Jeff rises up, meowing his appreciation, Kaos thinks, before scarfing done the meat. Kaos scarfs down his own meal, before looking at Stein, and says, if Stein actually cooked the rabbit, "Is it good? Mine's delicious. Nothing like the taste of rabbit underneath the moonlight."
If he hasn't cooked it, he'll say, "You gonna cook that? Need something to skin it with? If not, Jeff and I will eat it, as to not waste food."
Either way, after that is said and down, Kaos will lean back and say, "Boy, i sure am glad you can hunt for the both of us."
he scratches Jeff's ears, who purrs. He smiles, thankful that he has a loyal cat that hunts for him.
