The young ninja had been vigorously studying the grimoire-like book he had checked out from the Kusagakure's library. An old book with a title that was so diminished by time it was illegible. When Inoryu realized that it especially focused on genjutsu, he checked it out immediately. His dreams of becoming the village's master spy and genjutsu artist may be realized through the knowledge this book had to offer.
His day started in the front yard of his house, that vagrant place for concentration. He flipped through the pages of the book carefully. Some pages threatened to fall from the tongue of the book with the faintest of tugs from his fingers while flipping through the pages. Here's something, "Ninja Art: Deep Shadows Technique."
I would need a practice buddy for this one, he sighed. Too bad I didn't make a single friend in the Ninja Academy. Guess I'm just not good at that sort of thing. He stood up and stretched his arms out towards the sky. He looked up and saw the azure landscape with blots of moving clouds behind his outstretched hands.
"Well, I'm off," he told his parents and shut the sliding door. In order to learn this technique he would need a mind. Willing or unwilling. He had to go out into the grasslands and find a creature to work on. He made way down the mowed path and followed it all the way out of the village. Inoryu followed it until he reached a crossroads. He took the path towards the jungle, Obviously, I'm going to need shadow. He opened the book and studied the technique as he went.
It was a buttery day. He continued on until the blades of grass disappeared, and a land of thick trees and vines appeared in its stead. Inoryu's guard was up. He also observed the amount of shadow he could see. There are shadows everywhere.
Suddenly he felt heard something of a large beast's feet by the cracking of twigs lied on the jungle floor. Inoryu sheathed a kunai as he spun to face a terrible creature. He leaped back and dodged the vicious beak. He couldn't believe what he saw. An elongated neck that connected a large bird's threatening visage to its large, round body. It had wings, but by the looks of it, they weren't for flying. This bird was a runner. It darted towards Inoryu, And it looks like I'm on the menu. Inoryu began to retreat. They darted for almost 20 meters when the mighty bird has closed in on him almost to the point of attack. Inoryu strung through 6 handseals, and as the giant bird attempted a straight forward hit with its beak, Inoryu pivoted and split to two, one pivoting to the right, the other to the left. The bird stopped, confused at the sight of two Inoryus. As Inoryu flanked, he threw a handful of 6 shuriken, two in every space between his fingers. 5 of 6 of them hit. It also gave away his position. But Inoryu was surprised that the bird was still confounded with his double. He took advantage by throwing his kunai as he halted his flanking run. The kunai sunk deep into the bird and its legs gave out. The illusory Inoryu vanished into thin air like a large ripple was sent through it. Inoryu stood still, calming his accelerated heartbeat with deep breathing.
I reacted to rashly...if I'm going to train this technique, I need to subdue the creature not kill it. Try again. Inoryu recovered his kunai while carefully watching the reaction of the ferocious bird to negate any doubt that it was not actually dead. It was. The shuriken were irretrievable and he had lost the one he missed with. He put the kunai back in its slot. I could do this.
Inoryu looked around and realized that he had lost his mental positioning within the jungle. He leaped between the trees ever upward until he was standing on the topmost tree branch of the jungle. He was surprised to see some giant insects hovering above the jungle. He knew exactly where he was at. He could still see where the grassland is towards the hidden village. He landed on tree branch after tree branch before finally making it to the jungle floor. There another one of those savage birds appeared.
