Familiar Faces

His training had concluded to some extent with the desert. Though less said about that the better. Upon returning home he healed a few injuries. Wrote some paperwork and spent his time training. Takehiko was resolved to get past the wall keeping his kido down. He needed to improve here and develop. So in terms of skills he'd developed pretty well. Having gone through training and development past the pale. His digits extended as he fired a blast of concussive air from his fingers. It impacted the wooden target with a thud. That was fine as were his other skills so far. Bringing his hand upwards he released a huge amount of kido threads over the target. Quickly a touched his other hand to it releasing a fire that trailed along the wires before erupting into an explosion of force. Takehiko could now execute level thirty spells. They were a bit harder yet but he'd been practicing. Bringing his hand outwards now he focused. The change in kido when hollowfied was different from others.

He'd yet to try doing it to his bakudo or kaido just yet. Takehiko believed both of these required more time. Sweat trickled down his brow as he looked at his zanpakuto now. Should he try releasing it performing jinken here? Would speaking and releasing his zanpakuto be alright? His uncle forbids the usage outside of emergencies. His chin lowered as he pondered about training it. He'd been out here practicing his kido and getting a feel for it. So far all training in Hakuda and Zanjutsu had been failed experiments at best. He only had kido to rely on when it came down to it. Couldn't tap into the training results of his previous teacher yet. Just wasn't ready to do so anymore was what it came down too. He couldn't rush in anymore without thinking of a plan. So consideration began forming as he looked out at the dummies. Byakurai crossed with Sho created an excellent puncturing attack. But if he crossed these two together maybe he'd get better results. Takehiko raised both hands as he exhaled.

Releasing another blast of air, but right behind it was crackling electricity of the eleventh kido Hadō. As the discharge followed the air as it smacked into the wooden target. Low kido spells to set up larger ones, that was what needed to be accomplished by him. Takehiko needed to change how he fought people from here on. Evaluating his game and changing the things he did. That was the key element to how Takehiko would become like Unohana.
