Kyogi went into his house and out the back into his yard. It was a large open grassy area with a fence surrounding the border. It was a good place to let one get lost in thoughts but today he needed to train. Kyogi had seen a technique he wanted to replicate for the gates he knew. He'd seen simultaneous activation which was more advanced than his slower method.

Kyogi had done this before but needed to be faster closing his eyes for a moment to concentrate. Concentrating Kyogi felt his chakra flowing within his body rising above his standard level. Within a moment Kyogi's eyes opened he felt the activation a familiar feeling but it had taken too long this was not the same as what he'd seen. He needed to gather the energy faster into his body.

Kyogi allowed the gate to fall he had no fear of exhaustion with this low level gate he had trained long enough. This was the first of many for him as he concentrated his energy within him again. Trying to amass it faster than before. It was hard to balance and he quickly let it explode out of him the gate opening once again yet it still wasn't the instant activation he sought.

"Once more" he muttered to himself looking at the grass flowing away from his body in this activated state. The gate dropped deactivated but Kyogi did not wait long in his normal state. He immediately gathered his chakra to the same point in his body seeking to release it right away a third time. With the gate active Kyogi did not hold back but pushed himself further into the second gate right away. The increase in power was clear as he moved into the heal gate. Kyogi bit his lip drawing blood just to watch it restore itself from the activation. Kyogi knew he needed to work fast to be able to move straight into this gate and the ones beyond.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: "Clone Seal"
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after 1 or 2 solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. (Cannot gain extra training points through training with Shadow clone.) User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a "B" Rank Jutsu. Shadow Clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique. Must be Chūnin or gain Village Scroll.

(Using 10 TP Tome towards this tech found in thanks thread)

Kyogi had made his way back home. A special book had fallen into his possesion while out of the village. It had a variety of knowledge but this one seemed to contain information information about the Kage Bunshin. Walking through his house Kyogi read about the differences in clone types. These clones were much more versatile in their use. Moving through his home Kyogi made his way out the back and onto the grass in his backyard. What interested him most was the shared experiences.

This was certainly a technique worth learning and Kyogi continued to skim the tome for any other tips but it seemed to have moreso a general description of the clones and their uses than the actual formation. He would have to figure that out himself. To be thorough Kyogi made sure to read through the entire tome to gain it's knowledge before setting it down. It was time to try practical application for what he'd read.

[Kyogi]

Standing in the center of his backyard Kyogi formed the clone seal gathering his chakra within him. Pushing it outward Kyog willed the chakra to form mass. In a poof of smoke Kyogi stood before him but only for a moment before another cloud of smoke replaced it. Just like that the clone he made was gone. His brow furrowed but Kyogi knew it wouldn't be done in just a minute. "Again." Kyogi muttered to himself as he formed the clone seal again.

He believed to have held it too short of a time last attempt. Kyogi closed his eyes concentrating the energy within him. Just one clone he thought to himself he could expand from there. As his eyes opened he released the seal creating another white cloud of smoke in front of him. An identical Kyogi stood before him but Kyogi wasn't satisfied. Reaching into his pouch he retrieved a single senbon throwing it at his clone's cheek. It would graze just enough to draw blood but as his clone reached up to touch the wound it exploded again. "Still not durable enough." The tome had said they wouldn't last forever but there was no way it meant just this little.

[Kyogi]

Kyogi cracked his neck left and right. This was no time for breaks not until the technique was mastered. It felt repetitive but this technique didn't have complicated hand seals. Over his years he'd gotten better at them but he enjoyed the control of chakra for this technique. It pooled within himself and then dispersed it to form a clone infront of him. This time he'd spent a longer time pooling his energy.

Before Kyogi appearched not one but two clones of himself. This alone was progress as neither immediately burst into nothingness. A grin on his face Kyogi spoke one command "Defend." Without any other notice Kyogi jumped into the air sending himself flying at the front most clone. A cry of dynamic entry could be heard in the surrounding areas as he kicked through the first clone returning it to where it came. Were his clones inferior for not being able to defend? It seemed they still lacked something.

The second clone seemed to know he was serious and Kyogi gatherd his chakra into his right arm forming a lightly visible chakra scalpel sword. "You should be able to do the same. Do it." Kyogi commanded his clone. As the clone seemed to look down at itself to form the same technique he had. Rushing forward the chakra swords clashed but in just a moment the clone's chakra scalpel sword seemed to dissipate and Kyogi easily sliced through it sending it away as well. His earlier frown returned. "Perhaps I was too hasty to fight my creations I'll just need to try again."

[Kyogi]

Nearly there Kyogi thought to himself as the familiar clone seal was formed again. This time he held it a bit longer than usual he was aiming for more clones. It was a strange feeling as Kyogi not only gathered his chakra but tried to portion it out during the gathering process. His precise control over chakra allowed Kyogi to release it creating four new Kyogi clones. There was a smile on his face but he needed to test their abilities.

Walking to the first Kyogi said, "Show me the gates up to number three." Shunshinning infront of the next one Kyogi spoke, "Shunshins keep it moving." To the next one he commanded "All the way to six hurry it up! And last one make a projection of yourself here." While the two clones were powering up their gates the first popped it open immediately. It seemed his prior mastery of the gates would allow them quick access as well. A blur of afterimages was left all over his yard as the other clone shunshinned.

While the third and fourth were working on their techniques Kyogi gathered his chakra once more. He knew what was coming and wanted to create one more clone. As he gathered his chakra Kyogi walked to the clone who was mid way through opening its third gate he whispered into its ear "Destroy the rest when you're done." It was not an evil request but Kyogi wanted to see the clones move when under the influence of the gates. The last clone had just finished the astral projection simply waving to Kyogi by the time the third had reached its peak at the sixth gate.

Moving swiftly the powered up clone started with the unconscious clone sending it and its astral projection away. "Good though a bit rude." Kyogi laughed as the second clone had run out of the shunshins it could do to only meet a triple kick to the face sending it away next. While the last two clones fought it was clear the differences in gates gave the third the upper hand. However a with a surprising exchange of punches both clones ceased to exist. It was then that Kyogi released the clone seal he'd been holding creating one final clone. It seemed his hard work was paying off. With a smile the two Kyogi's high fived as he looked at the mess they had made in his back yard. Hopefully no one would complain about the noise.

Kyogi: ~Learned

[Kyogi]

After completing his training Kyogi formed the clone seal once more creating two clones. One was sent away from the training site to where he assumed he would find Tsu. The other clone didn't wander too far but it was in search of a dojo that he had trained at in the past. There was a certain technique he was hoping to learn about the repulsion of energy through taijutsu and he hoped his clone would find the dojo. If it did the clone would simply destroy itself to relay the information to him. In the meantime Kyogi simply went inside to take a shower and relax a bit before the training resumed.

(one clone exits)

[Kyogi]

Kyogi finished his shower curious of how his clone was doing. It hadn't been destroyed yet so he'd simply go out to where it had been instructed to go. There was no word of a mission despite that being his aim. Perhaps they had gotten into something more interesting. Leaving his home Kyogi made his way towards the fields to meet up with his clone and Tsu.
