Angus awoke, tired and annoyed. He had spent the previous day working over his finances. They were not going well, and he realized he had not trained in quite some time. He would fix that today, he decided. Leaving his family had been the best solution, but it was hard for him to make it without any money. Thus he had smoked more lately, because he had been more stressed than usual. Today, he would wear himself out physically and not worry about anything. He might even find a way to kill dinner if he was lucky.

He came to small field, surrounded by woods and took a deep breath. He knew the justu he was attempting to accomplish would be an easy one, but that did not mean he wouldn't take it seriously. All he had to do was push something with air. It sounded easy enough. First, he would focusing on gathering the necessary chakra to his hand.

As he willed the chakra to his palm, he decided that he had enough built up and thrust his hand outward towards a pile of leaves he had gathered. Nothing. That was frustrating. He would just have to try again. He gathered more chakra into his right palm a second time. He knew there would be enough. He thrust the palm outward releasing the chakra into the air towards the same leaf pile. He felt a small puff of air, and for a slight second, he was satisfied. Then the puff reached the pile, and one or two leaves just kind of floated off for a second. He didn't even know if it was his justsu or just a random, gentle breeze.

Angus was sure that would have been enough chakra. Perhaps it was, but maybe he wasn't focusing correctly. Maybe he needed to keep the chakra tighter as he let it loose from his palm instead of just forcing it out. Keep it together for just a little longer. He decided this is exactly what he would do. So he forced even more chakra into his right palm, he could feel himself getting a little tired. It had been a while since he had trained and he wasn't used to using up this much energy at once. Still, he wouldn't let that get in his way.

When he felt as if he had enough chakra in the palm of his hand, he thrust his palm outward towards the pile, this time not letting the chakra explode out of his hand. Instead, he forced it to stay together and push the air along towards the pile of leaves. Then he let it go and small gust hit the pile scattering leaves everywhere. Not satisfied with only one completion, Angus gathered up the leaves into another pile.

He forced the same amount of chakra into his palm and thrust it outward again, utilizing the same method as before. The leaves flew all over once again, and he gathered them yet again. He repeated the process six more times to ensure that he had gotten down.

Angus decided that leaves weren't a good enough target. He would have to hunt for something. He didn't really like animals, so that was a good choice. Trying to perform the justsu on people would probably get him into trouble, and he did believe in order over chaos. Still, animals were just that, animals. He needed something that would run, that he would be able to practice sneaking up on.

His first target came to him, a squirrel was hopping along on the ground a good 5 meters away. It paid no attention to him. Not the best, but it would be a good warm up. He gathered the necessary chakra in his palm. He pushed forward, and sent what seemed like a decent gust of air rushing towards the squirrel. The gust blew the squirrel off its feet, but it only really just knocked the tiny animal over. It regained its senses and rushed away before Angus had a chance to make a second attempt. He still wasn't getting the consistency needed to perform the attack effectively.

He would just have to try harder. He began to walk into the woods, making sure to keep as quiet as possible. Angus didn't want to scare off any target he could attempt to use the jutsu on. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a rabbit. Still small, but once again, a warm up. The small gray-furred animal was eating something off of the ground. Angus stopped and gathered more chakra into his palm this time. He thrust outward, sending a bigger gust of wind sailing towards the rabbit. The rabbit looked up in surprise, but the by the time it had realized a huge gust was heading straight for it, it went flying up into the air and was landed behind a bush. Angus didn't hear anything after it had landed, and didn't know if it was alive or dead. He didn't really care either. What mattered to him was that he had done it. Now for something bigger. Maybe a deer?

He continued to walk through the woods, but saw nothing except for the occasional bird or squirrel. Perhaps that last gust of wind scared everything off? It had blown quite a few leaves around in its path, but wind was a part of nature, and surely the animals were used to the occasional burst of wind. As he was running this through his mind, Angus kept searching. He almost missed it. A buck with brown fur, and a very large rack. He hid behind a bush as soon as he noticed the creature. He brushed the bush a bit, and the leaves rattled. He quickly gathered a large amount of chakra, and popped up, relieved to see the buck hadn't stopped grazing. He shot his hand forward and sent out an even larger gust of wind. It knocked the buck off balance, but it didn't fall and it saw Angus standing there, hand outstretched. Instead of running away, it began to charge him. Angus knew that if he didn't knock the animal over, it would be on him and more than willing to run him through with its extremely sharp antlers.

Time seemed to slow as Angus calmly collected the chakra again in his palm. It seemed to him as if he was taking his sweet time to push the air outward towards the charging buck. It was not that far away, in less than a second, he would be as good as dead. Then he felt a gust escape from his palm. The most powerful one he had let loose thus far. It hit the buck head on, and it stumbled, not ready for a gust that large to hit it. It fell and slid on the leaves on the ground, and Angus sidestepped it as it slid past him. Then Angus walked deeper into the woods before the animal had a chance to regain its composure. He could have killed it, but that would have been pointless. He had done what he intended to, and decided it would have been a waste of time and energy to slay the animal.
