Kentetsu himself was nearly captivated by the Inescapable Hell technique whilst he was underground. Quickly evading, yet watching as the majority of his clones sunk to their demise, he rippled through the ground and focused on getting at Akumei. This time she needed to be ready for a burst technique, something hopefully she'd be able to handle.
Quick thinking while in a moment of stress is also another part of Senjutsu; if the person were able to react quickly, they'd know the feeling of possessing natural energy, which would only help them out in learning Sage Mode.
Kentetsu erupted from the ground, his hand seals already having been performed previously underground.
"Doton; Doryuu Taiga!" he announced, watching as a mud slide drifted toward Akumei. Yet, instead of waiting before it reached her, Kentetsu performed another set of hand seals. "Doton; Doryuudan!" he called out, a large dragon head spawning from the mud slide. It opened it's mouth and unleashed chakra-infused earthen projectiles which homed in on Akumei.
Quickly drawing shuriken from his robes, he quickly followed up on the projectiles by launching them at Akumei with utterly impressive speed and precision. Dodging these would be tough, countering them would be even harder. How would Akumei fair against this burst attack?

Akumei landed, her knees bent slightly for leverage. She looked up at the jutsu, the mud slide and dragon now proved to be an issue along with the clones behind her. The dragon shot mud projectiles, which closed in on Akumei at a dangerous trajectory. Feeling confident, Akumei made a rash decision. The hell with that, the clones were more of an issue, and she had just the thing to be rid of them. She performed another string of hand seals.
Doton: Otoshibuta!" [Dropping Lid] Behind her, an earth wall nearly five times the size of her own height ascended from the ground. She merely struck it with a roundhouse kick, causing it to tumble over at a hazardous speed that threatened to destroy all of the clones behind her, due to its range, which would surely happen were they not to move.
As the projectiles and hidden shuriken came, she had no time to react, struck by most of the projectiles and the shuriken, only receiving blunt force damage due to her Koton armor. While receiving minor damage, Akumei was very resilient, proving that this type of technique wouldn't subdue her easily. She looked up with a wide, fearless grin. She was panting lightly, but still far from empty on her reserves. Her monstrous chakra pool was one of her most renowned feats. "That felt pretty good! Hey granddad, think you could do my back next?" she chuckled, shrugging it off, her attempt at toying with him and making light of the battle. Despite the severity of the situation, it was just a training session. Where Kentetsu may have been attempting to teach her the emphasis of concentration, quick wits, and the general etiquette of battle, she always seen it as more of a simple sparring match.
"Well, if that's all you've got, I'll show you something pretty cool~" Akumei badgered, performing a new set of seals. Still applied with her Ultra Lower Weight jutsu, her weight wasn't a problem, and the first phase of this jutsu was done. If she successfully fended off the remainder of the clones, this would be a whole lot easier to do.
The Rock Fist began forming on her hand again, taking up roughly half the size of her own body. She clenched it, excess dirt and dust sketching off of the outline. She began running for her grandfather with surprising speed, utilizing her full Koton armor. It would take her a few seconds to get there by running alone, giving Kentetsu a little time to react. The decisive point in the battle commencing, it was Kentetsu's turn to make a quick witted decision. What would he do as his granddaughter approached him for a curtain fall?

Kentetsu slowly shook his head. The results were not what he had wanted, nor what he had expected. Akumei may have been very well composed when it came to combat, but her headstrong-playful attitude and attacks were something that were going to get her in trouble one day. It was also not anywhere close to what Sage Mode represented, or needed to be represented by.
Sighing, Kentetsu watched as the rest of his clones were captivated by the earthen attack, immediately killing them off. Watching as Akumei came straight for him, he knew it was time to end this session; Akumei was apparently ready to do the same, by the looks of this attack.
Waiting until she was closer, Kentetsu side-stepped quickly, pointing his fingers and focusing on her arm. The chakra was much like the blood-flow system of the body, and could be disrupted similarily. However, instead of bruising, the chakra would simply stop flowing for 15 minutes or so. Ready to end this, Kentetsu used his signature style of Nerve Point Jutsu to make direct hits on her forearm as she passed him. If he was successful with his hits, the technique would be cancelled nearly right away.

Akumei dashed forward, with a twist. Her other arm also gained the Rock Fist, encasing both of her arms in the compacted layer of earth. She leaped midway into the air. Her eyes widened furiously, as they both waited for each other's finishing maneuvers.
Doton: Ultra Heavy Weight! At the last second, she utilized the heavy weight after applying the lower weight for extra leverage, she leaped down with the heavy weight for more velocity on the impact. She charged down with her arms, going for a two-armed smash on Kentetsu, with enough force to level the entire field for about 10 meters, if not more. The pure power and force behind this attack would be agonizingly devastating.
As Kentetsu side-stepped, going for his nerve strike, Akumei landed, nearing a total clasp of his entire body, ready to squish it like a plum.
She stopped.
She realized this would be a stalemate, and made a last second decision. His nerve jutsu struck her, her rock fist and Koton armor disappearing in a flash, vaporizing. She laughed at the end, sitting down, holding her stomach with her right arm as she couldn't stop her laughter from overflowing.
"Honestly, I was hoping you would stand there and shit your pants." she joked with a tantalizing laugh. Truthfully, she knew how he was, but she still didn't expect him to take such a heavy risk, with her range intensified and coming down with her velocity, not many could react accordingly in that combination, yet Kentetsu did so flawlessly. It was just like him. Even with her chakra incapacitated, she was still full of energy and life. She finally calmed down, wiping the small tears forming in her eyes. "Just as I'd expect from you. I'll give you this one, granddad." she stood up, beaming brightly, dusting off her outfit. She tilted her head with a playful smile. "How was I? Pretty awesome, right?"

Kentetsu did nothing but wait for Akumei to finish her babbling. A grim look crossed his face, seeing as the training session did not go as planned. He simply glared at Akumei, and left a wake of silence after her train sentence. Looking at her with utmost nonchalant emotion, he simply shook his head.
"You have failed this training exercise." Kentetsu said, turning away from his granddaughter and beginning to walk back to the village, his hands behind his back. "Again, next week. Same time." he said walking away without another word.
He wasn't expecting Akumei to get it on her first try, nor was he expecting her to take it as seriously as he had hoped, but Kentetsu had noted to himself that the direct, blunt way of teaching her was the best way. She was a powerful young woman, and she was indeed the prodigy of the Shozen, or so he himself thought. It was going to take some time, for sure, but training Akumei into her Sage Mode would be rewarding for both Akumei and Kentetsu.
He would finally be able to rest easy about her legacy.

Akumei didn't mind that Kentetsu displayed no discernible interest in Akumei's vagarious ways. She was always like this, constantly making jokes to make any situation seem a little less tense, as she wasn't one who really admired intensity, at least not when she wasn't battling the enemy.
Kentetsu understood that, a little too well apparently.
Kentetsu's diminutive, yet paramount words struck her like a knife through her stomach. Obviously, she didn't understand why it was she failed. She looked solemn toward her grandfather as his words butchered her. "W-what? I failed?" she choked. It was just a sparring match, how could she have failed? They were pretty even most of the way through, with the former and latter gaining eminence at some small point in the match. Of course, the golden question, she had to ask. "Why did I fail? What did I do wrong, then?" she asked, somewhat firmly, her cracked voice displaying she was confused and somewhat peevish. She was stubborn, and didn't like losing, or 'failing', much less, it was irritating. As she spoke up, he had already walked away. She sighed, kicking a small grain of dirt from the ground.
"Fine," she said simply, turning forward. "I should head back to the village." she began walking forward, the village only a few kilometers away, she could make it by foot easily, especially if she ran.
