First Gate— Mūlādhāra [Open/Initial]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Initial Gate enables the user to push forth to 30%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving .5 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 6 movements in total. (4 base movements + 2 movements for the ×.5)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Initial Gate expends 10% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Initial Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 20% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 90%.
Description: Located in the region between the genitals and the anus, the Inital Gate is the first of the Hachimontonkou. It's not rare for a shinobi who uses a good deal of taijutsu to know how to unlock this gate. This gate is usually broken in order to perform a needed devastating attack or for a temporary boost to get out of a sticky situation. However, keeping this gate unlocked for an extended period of time can put a lot of strain on the user's muscles.
The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by One Rank.
Takes 1 movement of preparing before able to unlock the gate. User is unable to perform any other techniques during this preparation time period.
Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 540TP in Taijutsu techniques.

Zenkai let out a loud sigh as he strolled through the forest, he knew what he had to do and he was looking forward to it. He stepped into the clearing where the village of bandits were set up, the words from his book ringing through his head "Never give up and Never back down" That is what he had to do to unlock his true potential. As the mist ninja cracked his knuckles, the bandits slowly began to turn to him, they could only barely make him out in the thick mist. One bandit walked up to him "This isn't a place for you-" Before the man could speak further, Zenkai slammed his fist into the bandits face, sending him into a nearby tent. He put his hair into a quick but, glancing at the now alert silhouettes, most had their weapons drawn. His ocean blue eyes didn't blink once before the blood started to fly, He launched himself at the nearest man, laying into him with a few quick strikes before smashing his head into the ground.

The mist shinobi didn't have time to check if the man was alive or dead before he jumper onto the next person, topping him over with his weight before punching the man in the face before it literally caved in. He let out a laugh, this was too much fun already, it had been such a long time since he let loose. He stood up as a bandit ran towards him, this would be too easy he thought to himself as he moved out of the mans way, though not too fast, his sleeve turned dark red as the blade knicked his shoulder. He growled, the pain wasn't bad at all, he had suffered worse, the fact that he had gotten hit made him mad. Zenkai grabbed the bandits sword arm and with little effort, broke it at the elbow. He deftly moved his hands from the screaming bandits arm, silencing him with a quick snap of the swordsman's neck.

As Zenkai weaved his threads of death through the group he had one objective in mind: Unlocking the first gate. Now he wasn't exactly sure about how to go about this goal, but after talking to a few people and reading several books he came to one conclusion: Beat the shit out of as many people as you can, push yourself to the absolutely limit. If he could do that he was sure he could attain the godhood, he had been striving for. He would not stop for a second until he achieved what he had come here to achieve even if it meant killing him. To Zenkai, to achieve such power meant he must take great risk.

The next two bandits went down in quick succession after Zenkai bashed their skulls together. He danced around the camp in a flurry of kicks and punches taking out anything that dare get near him. Of course He was never perfect, after the first ten minutes of fighting, his clothes were cut up, he had a few cuts and bruises but nothing that would slow him down. He kept up his onslaught, nothing going through his mind but how to tear into his next opponent. The poor bastard that was in his way next swung at him, he slid to the left before kicking him in the check, sending him stumbling backwards. While Zenkai had the advantage he pounced on the man, jabbing his thumbs into the bandits eyes. With the man screaming and blinded he threw him into the sword of an oncoming attacker.

As he the other bandit dropped his sword Zenkai closed in, delivering a punch to the mans rib, he felt two of the ribs break and before the man had time to scream he was silenced by an uppercut to the chin. The bandit fell backwards, mouth bloody, he couldn't speak as his tongue was on the floor. With a swift stomp to the face the man stopped moving as his nose entered his frontal lobe. As he looked down at his newest victim, he saw something that was out of order, there was a knife now protruding from his shoulder, he didn't know how it got there but whoever did it would soon die. He looked up from his wound as he pulled it out, running at the nearest bandit he could find, plunging it into them. He could feel his blood boiling, he was getting into it now, no one in the camp would get out alive.

Blood seeped down the mans shirt as Zenkai thrust a Kunai into his chest. He bolted from the dropped body not even bothering to take the weapon out, his next target already in his sights. The bandit was charging right at him with his axe raised, blocking the downswing with his arm, Zenkai jabbed his fist into the saps throat, he bent over which gave Zenkai the opportunity to grab his had, jamming his knee into the mans face.

As he went through the camp he thought he felt himself going a little faster, hitting a little harder. He slammed his weight into his next opponent toppling the scrawny thief to the ground, smashing his head into the dirt until it turned red with blood. He slid to the right, though he wasn't fast enough to dodge the arrow coming right at him. He winced as pain shot up his arm, breaking off the tip of the arrow Zenkai lunged at the bowmen, breaking the bow and using the wire to strangle the now defenseless bandit. While he was strangling, he watched his next opponent, one that was clearly in charge, he actually had armor on and his sword was more ornate then the rest.

Dropping the body of the bandit, Zenkai lunged at the leader trying to deliver a kick to his legs. Unfortunately for Zenkai, the bandit was faster than he expected, dodging the kick before swinging his sword at Zenkai's back. A howl pierced the thick fog as Zenkai stepped back, he could feel the warm liquid pouring down his legs, he would make the man pay for that. He ducked under the swing meant to decapitate him, rising up to deliver and uppercut to the jaw. Pressing his advantage Zenkai moved to disarm the boss but was met with his own blow to the jaw. He took a step back, disoriented, this man wasn't what he was used to since he had been killing a whole bunch of idiots at his current outing.

Zenkai knew he had to think of something quick, while he didn't feel he was in imminent danger (He knew he could take this oaf), if he took anymore injuries he might be in trouble. Zenkai waited for the man to approach him once again, this would be easy if he could just get around the armor, punches didn't do much when you were covered in leather. This of course gave Zenkai an idea, the man's head and fingers were the only body parts not covered by his armor, this is how he would get him. The swing came right as Zenkai expected, followed up by a grab with the other hand which Zenkai dodged with a speed he was certain he didn't have. He had no time to dwell on it now he thought as he grabbed the mans middle finger, bending it back to his wrist. This time it was the rogue's scream that was heard and for good measure Zenkai broke his pointer as well.

Now the tables were beginning to even out, even though he could feel the blood still openly flowing from his back, most other wounds had begun to clot already while some were torn open yet again. Zenkai heard a crack as his fist connected with his opponent's nose, snapping it sideways, he blocked the blade coming at him but not the kick that knocked him back against a tree, taking his breath away. He was a dizzy from the loss of air but he could see from the look on the enemy's face that he certainly had done some damage. Standing up once again Zenkai threw himself at the giant swinging as hard as he could at his head. This blow was blocked but that was what he expected, what the man didn't see was Zenkai's leg coming up in between his, connecting with his crotch, He did say he would get him back for the cut on his back.

The man roared in anger after Zenkai's little trick which only caused his smile to widen, it might have been a dirty trick but it was effective. It didn't bring the burly bandit to the ground but it stopped him for long enough that Zenkai was able to get behind him. Wrapping his arms around the waist of the bandit, Zenkai bent backwards and quite literally suplexed the Mofo, slapping his head into the ground. Zenkai now had the injured enemy right where he wanted, on the ground, in pain, and very disorganized a perfect chance to deal the final blow. As he walked over to his downed opponent, he heard the other bandits around him, this of course meant that he wouldn't be able to deal the death stroke just yet.

Zenkai darted out of the way just in time for three kunai to land right where he was standing. He turned to the poor fool who had gotten in his was of killing their leader only to find out it wasn't one fool, it was three. He chuckled at their unison, it seemed like it was straight out of some book or comic or something. While a three on one wasn't optimal, he was more than up to the challenge. As the first one lept forth, the second through another Kunai, the third seemed to have vanished. Catching the Kunai mid flight, he dodged the claws of the first ninja, jamming the knife into his hand. There was a flash before the second attacker as Zenkai appeared before him, delivering a kick to his solaplexes sending him stumbling back.

He scanned the area for the last of the trio only to be ambushed by him, jumping on his back. He thrashed about as the blasted monkey clung to him, watching as the second bandit regained his breath, the first was still clutching his hand, screaming in pain. Zenkai tried to throw the man off his back but it was like he was stuck, not moving an inch while the second bandit drew a dagger and charged at him. Before the dastardly enemy could stab him in the chest, Zenkai spun around just in time for the blade to penetrate the bastard on his back's kidney. The man quickly let go and dropped to the floor moaning in pain.

Zenkai moved in for an attack on the third bandit, sweeping at his leg first. Once his leg connected, Zenkai jumped up, slamming his fist into the face of the now falling enemy. The bandit hit the ground with a satisfying thud, bouncing off the ground just a bit before Zenkai's other fist connected with his throat, crushing his esophagus. The man flailed about for a few seconds trying to gasp for air before suffocating to death.

Zenkai then turned to the next two, the first bandit finally pulled the Kunai out of his hand, making is way back over to zenkai. As the upset bandit swung with all his might trying to avenge his comrades death. This of course made him sloppy, Zenkai grabbed the vulnerable arm, breaking it at the elbow, watching the bone pop out from the other side. With another quick movement, faster than usual once again Zenkai ended the bandits life with a Kunai through the chin up to the brain. With two down Zenkai faced the final third, still screaming in pain from the knife in his back.

Turning to the last bandit, the man stopped trying to pull the dagger out of his back and decided to run away. This wouldn't do, he started a fight so he should finish it, or at least that was how Zenkai felt. Chasing the man down, Zenkai jumped on top of the bleeding bandit and with a quick flick of the wrists, he stopped moving as his head now faced the dagger. With his last opponent now dead it was time to kill the leader but as Zenkai turned to do so, the boss was no where in sight. Frustrated Zenkai couldn't help but search for him in his spare time which was very little considering there were still bandits ready to attack him. He let out a sigh before moving on to his next opponent which wound up being, you guessed it, another bandit.

Zenkai had no time to play games with him, leaping forward he punched the enemy right in the middle of his face, though rather than just dealing a normal blow, the man fell to the floor the front of his face caved in, odd. He looked at his fist for a second wondering if there was a rock or something that could have done such damage but there appeared to be nothing. Zenkai shrugged this off as some strange happening, perhaps the man had a weak skull. There was little time to ponder though, he had more enemies to kill and almost as if on cue the next bandit slipped into place. He was, of course, no match for Zenkai because after one hard blow to the chest with his leg, the man fell to the floor, his ribs broken, lungs collapsed. Again this struck Zenkai as odd, he never usually hit this hard before, he wondered what it could be.

As the thought struck him that it might be his powers finally unlocking, so did an explosion from an explosive tag placed near him. Zenkai was knocked a few feet away, his sleeve burnt off and his arm singed a little. This couldn't have been a bandit and he was right, standing before him now was another Shinobi, his mist headband scratched out, a missing ninja. While Zenkai didn't much care for the coming and goings of his village, he figured this would be the perfect opportunity to test his might. He swung for the enemy shinobi's head making contact with it right before it turned into water, a clone. He looked around for the traitor, trying to find any sign of where he could be but to no avail. He felt the Ninja's presence right before the decapitating blow was delivered able to block his enemies knife with his hand, though painful this saved him from death.

Zenkai kicked the fighter in the chest with a straight forward kick and while this one connected it did very little but push the man back. Gathering his strength, Zenkai got ready for another strike as the ex-mist ninja ran towards him. As the Kunai entered Zenkai's shoulder his fist made contact with the man's face sending his body and some teeth in the direction he came from. Zenkai pulled the knife from his arm, tossing it to the ground, he was in poor shape now but stopping only meant death. He charged the shinobi who was just getting up from the previous attack, tackling him against a tree with all his might. He began to bash his opponents skull against the bark but was cut off when he caught a right hook to the face.

As he stumbled away from the tree he grabbed the Kunai that was on the floor, tossing it at the ninja, missing completely as it stuck into the tree. The enemy shinobi was on him in a second with another blade, this one longer than the previous kunai. The blade was obviously meant to go through his stomach but a quick side step solved that problem. He grabbed the man from the back and once again bent backwards, slamming his opponents head into the ground as he suplexed them. This time it was more painful than the one he gave his boss as the ninja landed straight onto a pointy rock. While this didn't kill the opposing shinobi, it sure left a huge mark on his face which was now gushing blood. Zenkai didn't move in for a second attack, he was getting a bit tired, needing some energy and he could see from the look on his opponents face, they knew it too.

Zenkai stared down his opponent with a fiery gaze, he took deep breathes not moving an inch as he tried to conserve his energy. He sighed loudly as the enemy ninja began to do handseals, why did he have to do handseals? It didn't take long for the shinobi to finish, a giant fireball shooting out in his direction. Zenkai jumped to the side dodging the fireball but he could feel its immense heat as it flew by, exploding against a tree, setting it on fire. Zenkai barely had time to recover from the first fireball when the second one came hurtling towards him. He jumped up out of the way once again, this time rolling and running forward, trying to catch the shinobi before he had time for a third fireball. His speed was immense as he quickly closed the distance, catching up to him within a matter of seconds.

The enemy didn't have time to react before Zenkai reached out, grabbing the right hand of the shinobi and bending the fingers backwards. He could hear the snaps of the bones as they broke and the shout of pain from his opponent followed by a blow to the head from his unbroken hand. Zenkai stumbled a little, but he had accomplished his objective, no one would be throwing fireballs at him again. He swung back at his combatant hitting him in the head as well, knocking him back against a tree. He punched again, trying to hit him square in the nose but he wasn't so lucky, leaving a severe crack in the tree. He swung around to face his attacker once again, noticing that he had a Kunai now drawn. Reaching into his own butt bag, Zenkai pulled out his own Kunai if he wanted a knife Zenkai was more than happy to oblige.

The missing-nin swung first, at the body, a quick backstep and Zenkai easily avoided that one, then an up swing which Zenkai stepped to the side to avoid. Taking this new opening as an opportunity Zenkai thrust at the mans rips a little but lower than where the heart was. The enemy ninja jumped back to avoid it before trying to deliver a sweeping kick to the back of the knee. Zenkai kicked his shin with the bottom of his foor to block the swing before jamming his knife down towards his opponents head. The action was unsuccessful as the man managed to roll out of the way, though he didn't get away unscathed, a long cut now opened on the side of his cheek. He swung diagonally now down towards the man who was swinging his up. The blades clashed together, the shape of the weapons redirecting the blow instead of bouncing off each other.

Zenkai rolled with his momentum as did his opponent, the turned to face each other and at the same time, they charged. Zenkai was the first to attack this time, swinging towards the throat of the other shinobi who caught his hand, pulling Zenkai closer before thrusting the knife towards his head. It was Zenkai's turn to grab the mans hand, kicking him in the stomach to break both of their holds and give them some space. He jumped at the enemy once more, ducking the strike meant for his neck, tackling the man to the ground. Once on top of him, Zenkai double gripped his Kunai, bringing it down on the mans head only to be blocked once again. His opponent was keeping the knife up with all his might as Zenkai tried to bring it down with all of his. In the end the enemy shinobi managed to redirect the force down onto his shoulder, not a killing blow but a very damaging one.

Zenkai rolled off the man, backing up to catch his breath. He was certainly feeling it now but he would not back down. As he caught his breath he watched the enemy combatant stand up, glaring at him defiantly, what did he have that he was so smug about? His answer came as soon as the question in the form of more hand seals, great, this guy was about to shoot more fireballs at him. He turned his attention for a split second as he heard creaking, it was the try he punched early which seems to be tipping over, unable to hold the strain without a stable foundation, perfect. Zenkai Jumped up as the man finished the final handsign and before he could shoot the fireball, Zenkai kicked the tree with all his might snapping it at the base and sending it flying at the man with incredible speed, crushing him beneath it. Zenkai sighed loudly as he landed, his hands on his knees, blood oozing everywhere. At least now he would get a rest, or so he thought, His quiet contemplation was interrupted with a thunderous roar as, you guessed it, the giant burst into view.

Zenkai turned to the bloodied leader, for fucks sake why couldn't he just die? He already knew the answer to that question but he didn't like it, the giant charged him once again intent on killing him. Zenkai charged back with a scream, he felt as though he was moving faster than before, closing the distance between him and his opponent. He Struck directly at his chest before the sword could even be swung down. The punch sent the giant flying across the camp, landing on the ground, coughing up blood. Zenkai wondered how he could have hit the man so hard before it dawned on him, of course he could, he had finally unlocked the first gate. With more confidence Zenkai launched himself forward, with in a couple of seconds he was in the bandits face, slamming it into the ground. As the bandit bounced up, Zenkai grabbed his arm, snapping it back to break it.

Once he was assured Victory Zenkai launched his opponent as far as he could, seeing how fast he could chase him. It turns out he was able to get to the boss before he was able to hit the ground, taking his sword from his opponent, he kicked him back down to earth before landing down on him, bringing the sword down through the center of his chest, pinning him to the floor. Zenkai stood up and roared in victory, he felt a tingle in between his nether regions which was a bit it felt good, he never had any power like this before, and he wanted more, with this he would easily be able to gain the upper hand in any of his future fights.

-like 5 days later-

Zenkai came back out to his -Favorite- Hide out to find the remaining little buggers from the time before. There were a few left so Zenkai decided to practice a new technique on them. He had watch the Jutsu be done before but never tried it himself, so today he would try it on the poor bastards that were left. To start off, Zenkai saw an oblivious bandit, unaware he had entered the surroundings, the perfect guinea pig. He began the handseals that he had been taught for the jutsu, once finishing it he held his hand out waiting for the water to encompass his opponent. Funny this was was that the water never came out, something must have gone wrong with the technique. Of course he never was one to give up and it was easy to screw up a new jutsu. Once again he performed the proper handseals before holding his hand out. This time the water began to form around his opponent.

The water was slow to form and very unstable and about halfway up the body fell apart, this was extremely unfortunate due to the fact that his soon-to-be victim was now alerted to his plan. This didn't matter too much as Zenkai started his handseals once again still set capturing his opponent in the watery prison. The man moved closer to Zenkai but the shinobi was faster, holding his hand out once more Zenkai created a sphere of water, while slow, this time fully covered his opponent locking him int the prison. The bandit seems surprised as he floated in his cell, looking around him for a way out. His escape came quickly as Zenkai, excited about completing the technique lost his chakra control causing the sphere to lose shape and form a puddle on the ground.

The bandit, glad to be out of the sphere ran at Zenkai to cut him, which was easily dodged. The only difference this made to Zenkai was that it was harder to catch the man in the technique. He began to do the specified handseals once again in preparation to catch the man. It wasn't going to be too hard as the bandit was A. Really stupid and B. Really slow so by the time he swung again and Zenkai dodged, the seals were done and the bandit was quickly enveloped in the prison once again. This time Zenkai focused on maintaining the sphere so it wouldn't fall apart on him this time. The mist Shinobi's chakra control was impeccable as he kept the prisoner contained within his cell, he could see that his opponent was struggling now, not having air to breath must suck. After a few minutes had gone by Zenkai watched as the bandit gasped for air, water quickly filling his lungs. The man struggled for a few minutes before going limp, dead.

With one bandit down and the basics of the technique under his control Zenkai now turned his attention to the next poor bastard. This bandit obviously knew him from the days before and was not happy he had been killing his comrades, another dumb one. Running at Zenkai who was currently busy weaving the handseals he decided to perform a sort of jump slash with his sword only to be stopped mid air, the same water surrounding him as his dead friend. Zenkai was more than happy to once again have another victim to drown but it wasn't to be as he had to jump out of the way of another blade, his hand leaving the sphere causing it to revert into a puddle of water. He turned to the two of them, frowning, this Jutsu was meant for only one person not two, he would have to figure this out. Then it hit him, he didn't have to fight both of them, he could imprison one while the other was distracted!

The distraction came in the form of Two Demonic ice clones which were totally awesome and went after the interrupting bandit while Zenkai handled the first one. He performed the handseals again, snake, tiger, horse etc. as his opponent circled him, now weary of this technique. Of course it didn't help him much either way, Zenkai was far too fast for the bandit and soon enough he was caught in the watery prison helplessly looking on as his partner fought of the twin clones. Zenkai watched the sphere for a minute concentrating his chakra on keeping its shape and entrapping its victim within itself. He controlled his breath, holding onto the sphere with one hand he turned his attention to the prisoner trying to breath. It wouldn't be too long before the man died, only a few minutes. This was perfect as it seemed as though his clones were wearing down now, soon he would turn his attention to the other man either using this Jutsu or maybe another one.

Zenkai looked down at the big scary man that now seemed to lay dead at his feet, or so he thought! The evil doom giant grabbed his sword on his chest pulling it out of him before tossing Zenkai out of the way like a piece of bread. He shook his head, rubbing his temples to clear the headache that was now forming in the back of his head. He was now getting angry, this was where he was going to go super saiyan and beat the crap out of the should be dead king of the bandits. While his opponent was getting to his feet, Zenkai concentrated for a brief second unlocking the first gate, he felt the chakra flow throughout his body, increasing his speed and strength. He had some moves from his taijutsu training that he hadn't been able to use yet because of this little requirement. Now he could try them all to his hearts content.

Zenkai darted towards his opponent, ducking low before kicking the monster up into the air before jumping up, following his opponent. Once he was behind his opponent Zenkai Grabbed onto him, spinning as hard as he could at the ark of the ascent. Once they turned towards the earth, he increased his grip on the now struggling bandit. They spun together, plummeting down to earth at an increasing speed until the moment of impact when Zenkai slammed the boss into the ground creating a sixteen meter wide crater in the ground. Zenkai stood up and examined the damage to the area, did he really do that? Was the potential of the gates really so strong that he was able to make a crater that wide? While examining the giant crater Zenkai noted that there was a bandit trying to sneak up behind him, probably trying to take him out from behind.

The bandits plan was quickly thwarted when Zenkai's hand entered his chest and exited through his back. He tossed the dead bandit by the way side as another four ninja's appeared in his place. It didn't take long for Zenkai to go on the offensive, attacking the first ninja with a kick to the head, tearing it off from his shoulders. The second bandit went down a second later with his face caved, his body hurled at the third ninja, sending both into a try which collapsed on top of the two. The final bandit quivered as it dawned upon him that he was completely outclassed and death would soon come upon him. His fear was realized soon when Zenkai ripped one of his arms off, straight out of the socket. Zenkai then swung at the mans head with his detached arm, knocking him out instantly. He hit the bandit repeatedly with the arm until his head was nothing more than a bloody mess on the ground.

The power flowed through every vain in his body as he moved through the camp killing anything that moved. He stopped his onslaught when he heard the roar of the monster from the crater. He turned just in time to see the beast fly at him, hitting him with his for arm, sending him flying. Zenkai was able to control himself, stopping himself from breaking yet another tree a huge grin spreading across his face. Finally there was someone here who could fight him again. He charged at the giant as it did the same, a flurry of fists and legs clashed in the center as they both fought to their fullest. His heart was pounding as he fought against the now suped up leader of the bandits, every strike seemed to be breaking bones but it never stopped attacking not even once.

Zenkai had one more move up his sleeve that he could use to take out the son of a bitch that now seemed intent on grabbing his head and bashing his skull in. He never got a chance to do such a thing as the mist shinobi kicked him in the chest right before spinning around to kick him once again. He then punched the beast in the face as hard as he could, then two body shots followed by one to the gut. He could hear the other mans ribs shatter as his fists came in contact with the enemy's chest. His final punch sent the giant flying up into the air once again, this gave Zenkai some breathing room and also the opportunity to pull off the finisher. In a flash Zenkai appeared in the air above the giant, he spun around to build momentum as he screamed "LEAF BURNING SKY" Kicking his opponent back down to earth, shattering the ground once again. There was no way for him to get up after that attack.

Zenkai decided to leave the person alone for no discernible reason, he felt it was time to go swimming now. Leaving the Bandits to their own devices, Zenkai removed most of his clothes before jumping into the lake. He swam about for a few before submerging, swimming deep down into the lake, holding his breath how he went. He head read that one could use chakra to stay underwater for extended periods of time and figured this would be the perfect time to try it. He wasn't sure exactly how to go about this but he figured the first part would be to channel chakra into his lungs. He tried to concentrate as he swam down farther, trying to force them to breath without actually inhaling. This worked for about as long as one would normally hold their breath forcing him to ascend for more air.

The calm, steely blue water broke as Zenkai's head shot above the surface, water shooting everywhere as he shook his hair, gasping for breath. He waded in the water as he caught his breath, waiting until his breathing stabilized before heading down under into the murky depths. He started the chakra control in his lungs again, this time though he extended the floor up his throat and to his mouth trying once again to force non-existent air into his lungs. This didn't work at all which forced him to think up a different strategy of how to get air into his lungs without having to surface. An idea struck him, there was oxygen in the water, what if he could extract the oxygen from the water and inhale that?

This idea was either brilliant or would get him killed, he'd either be able to breath for longer or inhale all the water and drown himself. He swam down while he focused the chakra around his mouth, after a few seconds he took a breath secretly praying that he wouldn't die. His prayers seemed answered as his lungs filled up with oxygen once again, to his surprise he was breathing underwater! Of course because of this surprise he disturbed his chakra control and while he did get air into his lungs, he also got water. Once again Zenkai was forced to surface, coughing up water while at the same time trying to bring air into his lungs. He floated on the surface of the lake positively miserable for the first few minutes, if there was one thing he was certain of, he didn't want to die in a fucking lake.

He Swam for a bit more before diving under the water once again, swimming down towards the bottom. He focused his chakra once again around his mouth before leading it down through his throat to his lungs. He took a deep breath as he swam, this time calm and focused so that no water may get in. He continued to swim until he was at the bottom of the lake, sitting there as he concentrated. This would be a perfect place to meditate once he got the hang of this entire breathing thing. He exhaled slowly, watching the bubbles rise to the surface, there wasn't much to see in the dark depths of the lake it was almost pitch black where he was sitting, only a little bit of sunlight able to penetrate the dark waters. He inhaled once again, the oxygen entering his lungs after being sucked out from the water in front of his mouth, none actually getting in this time.

He closed his eyes for a few minutes just concentrating on his chakra control and breathing. It was odd trying to breath in water when his entire body was telling him not to take that next breath. He had to cancel out this natural instinct with every breath he took, which turned out to be extremely hard. As soon as he stopped concentrating on breathing, the jutsu broke and he was once again filled with water. Once he was back on the surface Vomiting the lake back up into the lake and swimming away from said Vomit he decided to go back down, swimming under water from one side of the lake to the next. He concentrated on not drowning, going faster and faster until the chakra control felt as natural as breathing did.

Now after a refreshing swim Zenkai put back on all his clothes he was now ready to try a new jutsu, one he always wanted to use. He had studied it for a while and now felt up to the challenge of performing such a hard technique. He decided it was best to practice lake-side so that he would have a source of natural water and not have to create his own. Like all jutsus he started out with the handseals, there was a long sequence that his hands needed to weave through. Once he finished the extensive handseals he concentrated on molding the water with his chakra. Due to incorrectly performing the handseals even if his chakra control was excellent the dragon would never have appeared. He was too careless when trying to do the advanced technique, if he didn't slow down and perfect the handseals first then he'd never complete the jutsu.

He started once again this time he took his time making sure each and every handseal was correctly performed. Ox then Monkey then hare then rat, boar and bird before returning to ox then onto horse, bird and rat before finally ending in tiger. Having done the handseals properly this time, he turned his concentration once more to the lake, willing his chakra into the water. As he did so the water began to tremble and rise though never actually taking any shape. Each molecule defying gravity as it rose out from its home on the lake. While this would be impressive to the normal layman by ninja standards it was very basic. The water never got to actually forming anything before it fell back down to the lake, white water erupting from the splash.

Zenkai wasn't swayed by this failure after all he never perfected any jutsu on the first try if he did he'd be awesome. The problem of this technique was the massive amount of control it requires to form such a large dragon. He started the extensive handseals again, his chakra already beginning to mold the lake. The water rose out of the lake like the rising sun, teeth beginning to form at the tip of the water as it reached new heights. As each tooth formed the mouth began to take shape, breaking free from the base of the water pillar. Within a minute there was the outlining of the head forming atop the water as he forced it to bend to his will. Before the neck began to form the water began to revert back into its original state, falling back to the lake not soon after.

It wasn't long before he would try the jutsu again, having the handseals just about figured out at this point Zenkai could put his full attention to the forming of the dragon. As the water rose from the lake the dragons head formed with it, by the time the water had reached its peak one could see the fully formed head at the top. There was a brief moment when it looked as if the water would fall apart but it stood strong. The neck and body began to form a minute later, the claws extending as the came into existence. Proud of his work, Zenkai was prepared to aim it at the nearest target he could find and fire it in the direction but as soon as he took his mind off of the dragon it vanished back into the water

He finished the dragon for the first time which gave him the boost he needed to continue his training. The hard part was over, now he just had to continue his training until it felt like second nature to him as he did all his techniques. His fingers danced through the seals for the fourth time the dragon slowly forming behind him after completing the prerequisites. The water dragon curled around itself briefly before Zenkai chose his target, a tree about ten meters away. Once his target was acquired he willed the chakra infused water in the direction of the tree. The dragon flew at the tree with surprising speed, crashing into it with enough force to crack it in half sending it toppling to the ground
