Shimizu Kii - Permanent Training Thread

[Ryozo]

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Type: D-rank, Supplementary, Ninjutsu
Users: Hatake Kakashi, Gaara, etc.
A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' It's a very basic jutsu and it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it.
Using chakra to activate the body, the user is able to move from one point to another with extreme speeds. This super-fast movement is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. To a normal person, it would seem as if the user has teleported. The amount of Chakra used depends on the distance and elevation between the user and the destination.
Among the many users and villages, various variations of Shunshin no Jutsu exist. Gaara, for instance, uses the so-called "Suna-Shunshin" (, "Sand Body Flicker"), which uses sand to cover the user's movement. Other varieties include "Kiri-Shunshin" (, "Mist Body Flicker"), "Mizu-Shunshin" (, "Water Body Flicker"), and "Konoha-Shunshin" (??, "Tree Leaf Body Flicker").
Uchiha Shisui, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as Shunshin no Shisui (Shisui of the Body Flicker). This is probably a reference to this jutsu

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ugh.." Kii was dreading this day. He had to begin training. He wondered about himself, however, why he hated it? Did he have something better to do? He, after all, enjoyed fighting. It was like taking his rage out on someone else, and there was a lot of rage and sorrow pent up inside him. So why, then, did he dread this training so much? He figured it was because he doubted himself so much. "Well...I should be pumped up about this...Heh...Like I'd ever get really pumped up about anything...I'll probably fail at whatever I'm doing, anyways...."

Shimizu often found himself thinking aloud, mainly expressing his doubts about his own abilities. Not using his arms, Kii “pushed” himself up into a sitting position upon his bed, his covers still over his waist, and everything below. Using his left hand, he crossed it over, taking a hold of the edge of his sheets, and pulled them aside, so they folded neatly into a right triangle. Shifting over, his legs fell off his bed, dangling so that he sat upon its edge. Yawning and stretching, he rose, his feet flat upon the floor, “Eh…I guess I’d better get to work…” He sighed as he headed for his shower. He always felt so dirty when he got up, and his long hair was messy.

Quickly, he relieved himself of his shower, dressing himself and heading into the cold of the snow outside. When he had been younger, his father had taught him some basic things, though he wasn’t sure weather he wanted his son to become a shinobi. He had mastered these techniques, and now it was time for him to move on, and help himself.

Footprints were easily seen, forming at first from Kii’s home, ending in a large bunch near a small lake near the gate of town, where he had walked about a bit.

“Shunshin…No Jutsu…” Shimizu thought aloud once again, stating the name of the jutsu for which he would practice, “Alright…”

I need to focus chakra into my body, and move. I need to focus on speed at first, and I’ll get chakra control later. This is tiring… He thought, for once not form his mouth. Chakra filled his body, though much more than he should be using. He figured he would start out with more chakra than needed so that he could get speed down, and lessen his chakra needed later. “It really shouldn’t be much…” He said aloud, referring to the amount of chakra he would use for the technique.

He began to move, still visible to the naked eye. He knew that a speed much faster was attainable for much less chakra with the skill, though it was still fairly fast, it was not usable in battle. He had quite a ways to go, and he noticed many footsteps from his path in the snow. Turning, he looked upon a hill, upon where he filled his body with chakra, moving towards the hill. He moved as a blur, still fairly visible to a naked eye.

“You dumbass…” He stated as he arrived at the top, referring to himself, “Can’t even master such a simple technique alone…” His usual talk consisted of such things, involving putting himself down. Either way, he knew he had to keep trying, weather he thought it troublesome or not. Pumping up the amount of chakra a bit, it was now about double that of which he should be using. Dashing down the hill, he moved as a blur at first, before totally disappearing and reappearing, just as he should.

“Well…There we go…I-I didn’t figure I could do it…Not that doubling the chakra is impressive…” Sighing. “Well…It’s time to work down…” Lessening the chakra he had used a bit, he dashed forward. A Blur appeared and disappeared just as fast as it had came, before reappearing around twenty meters ahead, where Kii had arrived. “Progress….Doubt much more will come...Though…”

Readying himself once again, he attempted to lessen the chakra infused within his body as he dashed forward. He felt himself start out at an extreme pace, as he should, but he soon slowed, arriving with a slide around twenty meters ahead, though his time slowed by multiple seconds. He had appeared as a blur as he did, and he knew so. “Damnit…” He cursed, only aimed towards himself, and began to try again. Practice, practice, practice.

Disappearing, once again with the same amount of chakra within him as his failed attempt just before, he disappeared in a blur, reappearing only a split second later twenty meters back, where he had been standing his try before. Accomplishing his task, he moved on without words or much thought, turning once again to the hill. He felt it was nice to at least mix it up a bit.

The chakra infused within him that he needed to use the technique was around two fourths more than it should be, and he attempted his dash again. Successful, he disappeared, reappearing as if he had teleported around twenty meters away.

“Just a little more….” He thought, the training was already tiring, but he had to keep trying, “I probably can’t do this, though.” This time, however, hadn’t gone so smoothly as before. He tripped upon a rock as he made his way down, already losing speed. He flipped forwards, multiple time, before landing on his back with a crash, sending snow everywhere. “dam-” He was cut off as a large clump of snow fell atop him, knocked off by his fall into the tree.

Rising a bit angrily, mainly with himself, from the snow, he lessened his chakra, dashing over, with only the intention of arriving home. However, he had accomplished his latest goal, and his next step was around the amount he should be doing. “I-I…Guess I c-can…” He whispered as he turned, his pupils a bit small. Shifting his weight, he laughed a bit, but soon fell into a serious mode, realizing his doubts in himself that he could accomplish his final and ultimate goal.

Lessening his chakra just as before, it seemed a bit routine now, he launched himself forward, awaiting his results.

((I’ll post the results once I get graded and see my score…))

((Ah, sorry, didn't notice.))

Shimizu had felt so slow and cumbersome as he had dashed forward, his speed nowhere near that of which it should be. As he arrived on the spot, he skidded a bit, lurching forward lazily, not wishing to hold his own wait as he skidded forward from the disappointment in his failure. As he came to a stop, he used it as leverage to pull himself back and into a straight-standing position.

“Damn…” He said, “You dumbass….” He turned about, recalling his traveling. It had only been slightly faster than running, and he figured he was probably totally visible during it. Sighing, he attempted the technique again, dashing forward with his chakra infused body as it had become so routine earlier, still moving at such a sluggish speed, compared to what it should be, at the least.

“Ugh…I need a break.” He said, putting his palm to his head, his fingers wrapping as much around as possible to form a rest for him. He attempted to try the technique as he made his way home, dashing with a body full of chakra. His speed never changed; he remained at a slow speed, much less than he should be.

Finally, he arrived at home, to which he opened his door, just before slamming it shut, locking it, and dashing into his room with around double the charka he should be using, arriving there near instantaneously. Throwing himself upon his bed, he grumbled a bit, before falling into a restive sleep. He dreamed of himself starting again from the top, dashing about in training. He figured, as he awoke, that it was simply a remembrance of what had happened.

Continuing his routine from the morning, he found himself within his shower, feeling a bit more clean. As he exited his home, fully dressed after taking a very brief shower, he followed his previous footsteps, arriving at the same spot, near a lake around the gates of town.

Chakra filled his body, around two thirds more than he needed. He felt he should go back a bit; rewind. Dashing forward, he felt himself a bit slower. It seemed advancing at such a fast pace as before was a bad thing, and he needed to take a bit more time on it.

“D-damn it…This will take a bit longer than I had thought…” He tended to stutter if he was failing or progressing slowly n training, as such a thing made him extremely anxious and nervous, feeling that he was letting his father and mother down. He began to try harder, but his own doubts within his mind seemed to slow his progress.

You can do this…No…No I can’t. He thought to himself, his only attempt at optimism, before giving up. Chakra spread through his limbs once again. The process was become so routine that it was irritating Kii, but it didn’t really matter. Two thirds more chakra than needed caused him to finally succeed in arriving at a speed which Kii felt was right.

“Took me long enough…” He commented glumly as he attempted to reduce the chakra that he would use for the technique. Slightly less than two thirds the amount standard for the technique, Shimizu Kii attempted a quick dash, which soon ended in failure as Kii’s foot found itself in mud, slowing him to an extreme amount.

“Shit…” Kii cursed, lifting his foot from the substance. Looking about, the pine trees which erupted from the white snow around had shed needles. Though thin, multiple of the green things would help wipe the mud from his shoes. Soon, however, Kii had a better idea. Turning to the lake, he dipped his leg into the cold waters. Shivering slightly, though hardly, due to being around a cold climate his whole life. His hand followed, wiping the mud from his shoe, before using the same amount of chakra to dash away from the waters, his hand and foot numb. His speed had improved from before, even without stepping in the mud.

“Alright….Looks like I might get this down…”

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“Alright…” Shimizu looked around, and into the water, from which the brown substance was gone, “I need work on this more…” The chakra he himself required for the technique was two thirds more than it should be for the technique, and Kii had been focusing on lowering the amount of chakra, as the speed had been mastered at a higher chakra level.

His body was soon filled with slightly less chakra than that of two-thirds more, and Kii mentally prepared himself, attempting to wash his doubts away. Though he failed at this, he dashed forward, arriving twenty meters ahead, as if he had teleported. A bit earth behind him was tore up, as he had skidded to a fast halt as he arrived upon the spot, ripping apart a bit of the earth.

“That went faster than usually…Flunk, I guess…” Kii’s negative thoughts seeped out through his mouth, as he prepared himself to train more, with less chakra. It was only slightly less, around an eighth of the needed chakra for the technique. He wanted to take it slowly, because he figured he would have a higher chance of messing up if he rushed, not that he didn’t figure he wouldn’t mess up, either way.

Dashing forward, he moved at an acceptable rate for the technique, however, as he dashed forward, he felt himself slow. Instinctively, he increased the chakra in his body back to around two thirds larger tan it should be. As he arrived at his destination, once again twenty meters away, he cursed himself for his inability to control his chakra.

He had to keep trying, it was really the only way he saw fit for exercising his abilities. He disappeared in a blur as his body became infused with chakra, arriving twenty meters ahead, upon the top of a small hill just over the lake, nearly two feet in snow. To those looking in upon his training, it would have seemed as if it were a teleportation technique, rather than that of speed.

Without as much as a single word, Kii was back to work, his body infused with even less chakra, nearing only one-and-a-half fourths more than needed. He knew he needed to rest soon, so he felt it productive to train as he made his way home. Dashing forward, he arrived, his chakra at the same amount, and moving at a speed which seemed as teleporting. As he fell into his bed, he fell into a rest, from which he woke a few hours into the night, his chakra mostly regenerated and his eyes awake. After an extremely brief shower, his found himself outside his home.

Infusing himself with chakra, first starting at the base of the technique, and adding one-and-one fourth of a fourth’s chakra, he dashed forward, first to his left, then his right, disappearing and reappearing in a zig-zag motion, his speed keeping his standards, though his chakra a little too much. Landing softly upon a large tuft of snow, Shimizu Kii found himself once again near the lake at the gate of the village.

One third was all he needed. He was simply a third of the total amount of chakra needed for the technique. Completing this training meant he could accomplish things on his own, it meant that he could survive alone, and without his father’s guidance, as a shinobi.

All of this was very inspiring to Kii, but it didn’t really matter. His doubts and negative thoughts about himself and what he could do, would always be there. He didn’t have the time to dawdle on something like this, though. It was time for him to train, and to complete what meant his first step into responsibility.

One third. This was where we was. His body was now filled with an aura of chakra. One third. He dashed forward, his body disappearing as a blur, before that blur reappearing. However, it reappeared horizontally, as Shimizu fell, having caught his foot in a hole which was concealed by the snow, most likely made by a snow hare. He ate snow as he skidded across the ground, his temper rising, not with the hare, but with himself.

Staggering to his feet, his disappeared in a blur, without a word. When his temper rose, he tended to do what he needed to do, as much as possible until it was done right. It was the only real way for him to calm himself down. Reappearing twenty meters away, he disappeared once again, reappearing upon a large tree branch, upon one of the only trees which was not of the pine origin. Again, he was a blur, coming into reality near the lake. He was breathing heavily as he fell to the floor, sitting with his knees bent, his feet flat against the ground.

“I guess…That’s that…” He mumbled through breaths as he rose, “Just one more step.” He decided to keep make this step a bigger one, lowering his chakra level down a third, down to what it should be. He dashed forward, leaping over where he remembered the snow hare hole had been, reappearing not too far away. Again, he blurred away, and appeared sitting upon the branch of the tree, though tired. He had put a little extra chakra in his body instinctively, as he felt himself slow down. His only way to perfect his technique was to try harder.

He pushed away from the branch with his hands as he lifted his feet, blurring away and appearing twenty meters ahead of the base of the tree. “There we go…”

“Whew.” He sighed, pushing ahead. He blurred away, as he soon reappearing to his left a bit, around twenty meters ahead, repeating this pattern, his zig-zagged right, and left again, then right, until he finally arrived home. He needed rest, using Shunshin no Jutsu took up lots of energy and chakra, and he needed to rest. His image blurred, only moments before seeping back into reality upon his bed, near sleep already.

As he woke, he quickly readied himself, arriving outside, his feet deep in snow, only just after drying off from a brief shower and dressing. He felt it idiotic to shunshin towards his destination, as it would only waste chakra. He began to trudge along, too lazy to run, and too in doubt of himself to find any ambition and will to train very much.

“Well…L-let’s see what to do…” He commented nervously, as he finally arrived near the lake, now so signature to his training. He knew that he himself believed that specializing in ninjutsu specifically was best, and so he would near totally ignore taijutsu, though he was semi-capable, it would only hurt him in a battle, as those skills were at an extreme low. Due to this fact, he needed a defense. He had shunshin to help him dodge larger attacks, but he wasn’t able to do that a large amount in a battle. He needed a true defense. To this, he turned to ice, the hardest and most sturdy of the elements he preferred in his arsenal, ice, snow, which fell into the category of ice, and water.

Serpent, Bird, Hare…As the hand seals flashed by, the words repeated themselves in his mind for every hand motion. He was attempting to create a sliver of ice from the nearby frozen lake, and cause it to float around him and block incoming attacks. As the hand seals formed, the words “Hyouton: Hyoukeibi no Jutsu!” escaped Kii’s mouth. A sliver of ice rose from the nearby frozen lake, but soon shattered and fell back into its source, destroyed.

“Damn…I-I’ll never get th-this down.” He mumbled before staring deeply into the ice, attempting to cause it to rise from the lake, Serpent, Bird, Hare… He thought, his hands a blur as the seals passed by. The lake shifted as the ice clashed together, quickly covering the now empty spot from where a long stream of ice had risen. It began to squirm towards its master, flowing about him, curving up and down. Shimizu looked about as the ice curved like a stream of water, moving around him before collapsing only seconds after.

“Ah…” His frame collapsed, he bent over in disappointment, his arms hanging lazily and low. Slowly, he adjusted himself, walking towards the lake. Dipping his fingers in the ice cold water, he thought of a way to improve himself.

--------------------------------------------------

Shimizu Kii’s finger rose from the water, dripping a bit, though not much. He figured his only way to get better was to practice. He knew that, though the training itself would become monotonous extremely fast, he had to do it.

Serpent, Bird, Hare… Again, the seals flashed by, both on his hands and in his mind as he performed them. The ice, which had fallen into the snow behind him, reformed, causing it to soar towards Kii, whole. It wrapped around him, squirming and curving as if it were water, and it held for many moments. He even began to walk, though, as soon as he began to take the first step, it instantly fell apart, shattered.

Without a single word, the ice was floating upon the air after a successful flash of the hand seals: Serpent, Bird, and Hare. Moving in a line, it circled Kii, finally meeting its end and forming a whole sliver. He began to walk, and the ice itself stayed afloat, however, only for a few moments. He reached a tree, very lose to him, and it fell, collapsed and weak. Kii turned, frustrated with himself.

“Gaah! Damnit!” His frustration took the form of words, “Wh-why do I always fail at such things so early?“ He looked towards the sky, as if to receive help from his mother and father. No response came, however, as expected by Kii. He soon heard laughter, as a small child emerged from the trees. It seemed to have been the son of two shinobi, as he seemed to run and act as if he were raised by one.

“Hi!” He hollered, lobbing a snow ball towards Kii before disappearing into the trees.

“Eh?” Kii noticed the snow ball, taking the opportunity to help with his training.

Serpent, Bird, Hare! He thought, the hand seals passing by. The ice floated up, swirling about Kii. The snowball soared a bit higher than the stream of ice, and, as it arrived in the vicinity of the ice, it rose, blocking the snow ball.

As the snowball fell to the ground, the ice shattered, only able to take so much. “Well…Progress…I guess…” He noted, performing the hand seals to practice once more.

The ice rose again around him, and it held. As he began to walk around, it swirled around its master for a long period of time, but eventually, it fell, failing…

Kii preferred it the way it was. Alone, and him working without a word.

The hand seals flashed by, he clasped his hands firmly together: Serpent. Moving his hands about, he touched the tips of his thumb, pinky and ring fingers, while his middle and index touched at the knuckles, curled inwards: Bird. Finally, the last hand seal, he curled his pinky, then his ring, and finally his middle of his right hand, each succession less curled than the last. His index and thumbs were erect; straight, and his left was inserted between then, only his pinky shown: Hare. ”Hyouton: Hyoukeibi no Jutsu!” He cried, the ice which had only so recently fallen to the snow-white ground rising and forming together, a single sliver of ice. It then wrapped about Kii, keeping a small distance from its master, touching and forming a solid ring around. It began to curve and wave as if it were water, and it hardened through Shimizu’s chakra.

He needed to test his defense. His last seal had fallen only just after it came, as the jutsu did not require its concentration. The defense would stay afloat, so long as he did not move, and it seemed to have guarded against snowball, he hoped he had improved since then, however. Reaching back and into his hip-pouch, he pulled a single kunai from its placement, lobbing it into the air. The sun seemed to wink as the kunai soared, interjecting the sun’s path to Kii, its metal shining brightly. Kii found himself laying flat upon his back, staring deeply into the metal which soared above him, only to fall. It’s tip was pointed towards him as it spun, and soon it found itself opposed to that fact, its ring downward. Only moments before impact, the point was buried below the handle and ring. Kii winced, hoping for the best.

Ice flew in many directions as a cracking sound rang through the air, the ice had moved into position, effectively blocking the kunai. Indeed it had, and, in fact, it had stayed in-tact, though hardly, and another simply kunai would not only lodge itself into the ice as the last had, but break completely through the sheet, and into Kii.

His chakra gone, the ice collapsed upon itself as Shimizu Kii stood, the kunai burying itself in white. Bending slightly, Kii reached for his kunai, pocketing it as his cold-wrought fingers found its metal surface. Though he had been in the cold for quite some time now, it hadn’t bothered him. He had lived in such a cold climate his whole life, and, in fact, he practiced such arts with ice, snow, and water (which found itself quite cold in these areas) ninjutsu.

The hand seals, just as before, flashed perfectly by. Being as ninjutsu-focused as Kii was, he learned to perform the hand seals with ease and perfection. I’ll never be able to master this… He thought as the ice began to wrap around him. He began to dash about, jumping from tree to tree, and even shunshinned a single time. The ice held its position perfectly, squirming and curving as it wrapped about him like a small stream of liquid.

He figured he’d attempted something with more force. He spotted a dead tree nearby, that of which did not originate from that of the pine family. Pulling back a large branch, he let it go hopping in the way. The ice dented and cracked as the limb bashed into Kii, but he did not move, nor did he gain any injuries.

“Well…Better than I thought…I guess…”

--------------------------------------------------

The training had began to become monotonous, just as his previous had.

Perform the seals, watch the ice rise and form, run around, maybe try and get hit, watch it fall. Rinse and repeat.

Kii sighed, his old doubts about himself becoming stronger as it seemed the training became harder. The same hand seals which seemed to embed them within Kii’s mind flashed by, his hands performing only from habit now, rather than command. “Hyouton: Hyoukeibi no Jutsu…” He grumbled as the ice rose just as it had before. He had been using the same slivers of ice around himself to form the defense, and they soared into the air just as they had every other time. He looked about himself as the ice formed a ring around him, seething and curving as it had before. He was now able to move while keeping the ring intact, and it still held its defense. There was one simple problem now:

It had to become stronger.

He needed to reinforce the ice’s defense, because it would not hold against something in a real battle. It could block a simple kunai, but would shatter after. It was also able to block the force of a thick branch pulled back, but it would shatter upon guarding the user impact.

He needed to take a risk. He didn’t care weather he died or not, anyways, so he felt fine attempting something a bit dangerous. Within his hip pouch lay five kunai, each within Kii’s left hand. Lobbing them into the air, they fanned outwards. Flipping, burying their points underneath the handle and ring of the kunai, each came down upon the now flat-on-his-back Kii, all in a different spot. The ice waved and moved, blocking every kunai, before shattering, letting them fall upon Kii safely and letting the shinobi slide by without a scratch.

Pocketing each kunai, He stood, sighing, “How long will this continue?” He supposed he would quit soon, since he felt that he would ultimately fail the learning of this technique. He tried again, Serpent, Bird, Hare… Ice which originated from the large sheet of frozen water atop the lake rose, the ice around him much too shattered to be used. It writhed around Kii as he threw a single kunai, shunshin-ing into it, the ice easily blocking it.

“Well…I guess it will work even while I perform things like shunshin…”

"That's about the best idea I had..Not that it was great, in teh first place..." Kii noted, thinking aloud, reffering to his 'throwing-shuriken-and-shunshin-ing-into-it' plan. Pulling the metal kunai from the stream of ice about him, Kii once again threw it forward. He appeared in front of it, the kunai embedding itself into the ice. There were hardly cracks about the ice, and it seemed that it was holding out--for now.

This justu should be able to hold out several C-Rank jutus…I’ll use a few D-Ranks, since there isn‘t a way for me to use any C-Rank jutsus. Two D‘s are around equivalent to a C or so… He thought, preparing a jutsu.

Lifting his hand, he mumbled, “Hyouton: Tsubame Fubuki…” The ice from the nearby frozen lake rose, sending a large swarm of ice, in the shape of deadly swallows, ahead of Kii. Shunshin-ing into the way, the ice writhed and moved rapidly, blocking every ice swallow, before collapsing.

“Whew…” He sighed, escaping his own jutsu without a scratch, “This needs to be a bit more powerful…” His sigh was soon replaced with one of dread, not wishing to continue his monotonous process any further. He knew that he was at his limit of around three shunshins, and he felt the need to gain a little rest and chakra.

Arriving at his home, after trudging through the signature snow of the Hidden Snow Village, he was soon fast asleep.

Only hours later, he found himself back outside, training once again after a brief shower. The hand seals flew by, as the ice rose ever so monotonously from the lake, wrapping about him. More hand seals formed: Dragon, Serpent, and finally, Bird. “Hyouton: Shiroinami…” A tidal-wave-like mass of snow rose, shooting forward. Immediately, a swarm of ice swallows followed, “Hyouton: Tsubame Fubuki!” He put a little more enthusiasm into his last jutsu, he felt a little good about hopefully mastering the technique.

Shunshin-ing into the area where both jutsus would make contact, he winced. Each jutsu slammed Into him, the ice around him blocking both -- successful, and only slightly cracked. Once again, he repeated the process: Dragon, Serpent, Bird. The wave of white rose, speeding ahead. The swallows of ice followed, flying steadily towards their destination, where Kii stood after a shunshin. Once again, Kii was left without a scratch as the snow and ice cleared, his barrier still upon him.

“Who knows how long this will last..”

It had seemed as though he had perfected his last jutsu, as it was able to take many D-Rank jutsus. He wanted to rest a bit.

The ice around him fell into the pure white snow which spread across the ground seemingly endlessly, He dashed, his arms flailing behind him, towards his home. He found himself inside his own room, pulling his covers which were across his bed a top him, closing his eyes. He awoke, the day dawning as he stared out his window. He stretched a bit, yawning as he did.

After he prepared himself for yet another day of most likely monotonous training, Kii raced outside, arriving at his usual spot, with a small lake nearby, and trees, just at the gate of the village.

“I haven’t practiced any water jutsus, lately.” Kii thought, “It’s amazing I was able to make it through the others.” His hands formed the “rat” symbol, and he said “Suiton: Jougen!”

The water from the lake rose a bit, splitting, forming two oddly shaped half-circles. Immediately, the water fell, causing a splash. This will be harder than I thought…I’ll never finish it… He thought, though he tried once more. The rat symbol remained, and the water rose, this time forming two half-circles, perfectly. However, this shape was now which was desired, and they soon fell due to inexperience with the jutsu. Once again, he tried, this time forming two half-circles, with small indentations on their flat sides. He wished to get the forming of the water down solid before beginning the rest of the jutsu. Kii’s hands dropped, a bit discouraged. Even after three tries, the shape was not right. He felt that this training would be a bit monotonous, and dreaded it. Sighing, his hands formed the rat seal, as he stared into the water. A full disk of water rose, splitting evenly into two perfect crescent shapes.

Soon, however, the water fell, unable to hold the shape and position any longer. It seemed the jutsu would be quite difficult. Again and again, he tried, the water forming perfectly, but unable to keep the form. Finally, he was able to suspend the crescent-shaped water successfully, without them falling or dispersing.

“Eh…I guess that’s a little progress…”

At his attempt to move the objects, they immediately lost their composure, falling lifeless and inanimate to the ground as liquid. A sigh escaped Kii's mouth as he formed the rat symbol once again, forming two crescent's from a single disk of water. they began to float slowly, though the speed from which they moved would not be useable in combat.

Again, they disspersed their shape, falling to the white snow. Again, the levitated as the Rat seal showed itself, this time, however, they began moving normally, at a battle-able-pace. Now, the hardest part, would be to "sharpen" them so that they could cut and block things such as a sword or kunai.

Infusing the crescents with chakra, they became a bit more sharp, though they still remained semi-dull. Attempting to move them as to cut a tree, they disspersed on contact, leaving Kii a bit un-inspired. Again, he tried, though to no avail. Finally, with a sigh, he retired to his home for the night to get some rest.
