Ryu stood in her garden, as usual, basking in the sunlight and beauty of the plants around her. She breathed in deeply and decided today would be a good day to train something. She only wondered what it was she would train, and how she would go about doing it. Atlas was asleep still, as it was still somewhat early in the morning, and the dew still sat on the leaves around.

It had been a while since the female had trained anything completely new, and she was interested in a set of skills that could further her capability to win in any situation, without disadvantage due to the elements involved. She needed a well-rounded grasp of releases, and to do this she needed to gain more knowledge into the different elemental reigns involved.

To start, she thought perhaps a new release was in order. She set to thinking which element she wanted to get a handle on, and the first to come to mind was lightning. She'd recently seen a shinobi using it in her proximity, and thought she'd give it a try. It could come in handy sometime.

Hands ready, she began bringing the chakra from within her body to the surface of her skin, spreading it out into the air, attempting to find some way to create electricity. All she needed was a spark for now, and she could be satisfied.

She kept spreading her chakra, finding small currents in the air, but nothing came to mind as to how to use it. She thought about when she rubbed her hands along fabrics, sometimes a spark was formed. Perhaps friction was what she was needing to figure this out. She moved her chakra quickly, in an attempt to force molecules together to form a spark, but it seemed to fail. She focused, searching for a current that could help her create a spark easier.

She found one, and brought all of her chakra to a central location within the current, spinning and twisting the power around until it eventually made a cracking noise. There was no light, but she was sure there had almost been a spark of electricity.

Again, she pressed her chakra, moving it faster within the small area, until finally, a small spark emerged, and she knew she'd almost gotten it. With a bit more work, she could have this release down in no time.

With spark made, she was off to figure out a more large-scaled way of creating the lightning. For the time being, however, she wanted to try the sparks a few more times. She focused her chakra and released it into the air, this time creating several sparks in a general area, as she spread her chakra along the current. Perhaps that was what she needed to do. She focused her chakra into two places on the current, and created that friction she had figured out, creating two sparks about a foot apart.

As the sparks dissipated, a small bolt formed between them. She was surprised at the effect and decided to try it again. She focused more chakra into the areas about a foot apart, and created a larger spark area to work in. Her chakra was focused and released within the areas, and again sparks were created, but this time a bit larger, and as they finished, a thicker bolt was created between them.

She seemed to be getting somewhere with this, and soon she would have this one down just like the others. She took a moment to rest a bit, thinking about how she could further this. She could find a larger current and try to lengthen the disdtance between the sparks to create a larger bolt, and that could be impressive, but was it really getting her any further in her learning of the release. She looked to the water feature beside her. Water was a conductive material, wasn't it?

She grabbed a bucket and filled it with the water, and stuck a metal pole within it. Time for some aiming practice.

She focused her chakra in two places. Making a larger spark on top, and a smaller spark on the top of the metal pole. She condensed the area she was working with for a better aim to the area. With the release of her chakra, the sparks were formed, and the bolt created, traveling from a higher electricity to a lower, and ended up following the conductive pole down into the water, arching off of the pole all the way. The water itself splashed about a bit with the power of the lightning flowing through it, and several arches of electricity flowed off of it before it finally dissipated.

Well that was definitely impressive. She'd have to use those two together sometime. For kicks, she focused the chakra between her fingers for a moment, releasing it as she snapped her fingers for a cool effect of a spark as she snapped her fingers. Cute.

She focused on finding a new current, much larger this time in comparison. The found a rather long one within the air a few feet away and focused two large sparks about 10 feet apart within it. She condensed her chakra until it imploded, creating a large spark. The two sparks on each end started to die, and in their ends, a large crack and a bolt appeared. She was pretty satisfied with the whole ordeal, and hoped that this meant she had gained all she needed to properly use the lightning release.

With a casual stride the Hanakora would lead his new friend to an area where they could train alone, and in peace. He'd stretch out his arms in anticipation of the upcoming session as he waited for her to prepare herself.

Ryu entered the area too, ready to train. She stretched too, even though she didn't really do anything strenuous when she trained. She thought it looked good.

With his female companion prepared he wasted no time in beginning his training and preparation for the upcoming exams. Even if she wasn't ready it wasn't like the technique he had planned was of any harm to her, if anything Sachi was the one in danger by plunging himself into the ground. The technique he had in mind was of the doton persuasion, Sachi realized he needed to branch out his areas of expertise when faced with opponents of all kinds in the exams ahead. This technique was used to surprise attack from the ground beneath, or if you were in a sticky situation a quick evasion. After all, burrowing down into the ground usually wasn't expected. A single movement of the Hanakora's eastern appendage would swing the limb towards his torso, where a short moment after hand would clasp on his robe tightly. A light tugging motion would remove the large pink robe from his body, at which point he'd quickly throw it to a nearby tree branch - He didn't want to get it all dirty.

Luckily for him such a maneuver as this required no handsigns to complete, one simply had to focus their doton chakra into the ground as to soften it up and allow them 'access' if you will. Arms lowered to his sides in a rather relaxed manner, and with a sudden burst of his energy from within it would course his entire body before plummeting into the dirt below. The doton chakra seeped through a large amount of gaia below him, slowly but surely the earth was softening beneath his feet but not in the for of mud or any of that. It was as if it was slowly pulling apart, and he had no doubt when he did enter that it would begin to wrap back around him as to conceal his point of entry. Jade slates shot upwards to meet the gaze of Ryu, and with a smirk followed by a slow wave he pushed his legs quickly downwards. The earth ripped slowly open and his body dropped straight down without the slightest of noises; almost as if he had kept falling for a long time.

He in fact only dropped about a meter and half into the earth, and immediately following him being engulfed the earth softly closed around his body and shut the small rip created. To Ryu it would look as if he had torn open the earth and jumped into a bottomless pit, although by now she had already been involved with 1 of his disappearing acts - but with him no longer vanishing from thin air and seemingly diving into the ground the reactions could be different. Unfortunately for him though he'd not be able to see the reaction and facial expression on her this time. Being fairly deep in the earth he would merely bide his time and see how things went from here; maybe if she was curious to walk in this direction he could surprise her by suddenly flying out? That all seemed like a good idea, although he'd rather be able to move down here...

Sachi removed his cloak, and she cocked her head to the left, curious as to why he had removed the pink garment. He seemed to be preparing himself in some manner, though he had not begun any handseals as of yet. She watched his movements as he prepared, and soon he was looking directly at her.

With a smirk, her comrade waved, and soon he sunk quickly into the earth below, with not even a jump. He disappeared below the earth, and not even a hole was visible. Quite a technique, really. She looked closely to see if the ground moved at all, to see if he was moving anywhere, if she would even see things like that with the technique. She didn't know, but she decided she'd try a technique in case he popped up unexpectedly.

She performed a few handseals as she looked around herself, being cautious. With the first, she grabbed her chakra, bringing it from within her center. With the second she spread the chakra over her arms before condensing it within her fingertips, and with the final hanseal, she released.

One by one, each of her fingers now held a small ball of electricity, sparking around with little rounded bolts. Her finger glowed a blue hue, and the crackling noises of the bullets continued as she held her chakra in them, waiting for him to appear.

The electricity so close to her skin could be felt vibrating through her hand. It was an odd sensation, and an ovreuse would probably make it worse. She'd have to be sure not to overuse the technique.

She stood still, looking around herself from her stable position, waiting for Sachi to pop up somewhere.

0|10 - "D" Rank.

Sachi, whilst in the lonely depths of the earth, had quickly abandoned his idea of learning how to further lurk around the earth. Not only did he dislike being completely engulfed in dirt, but he thought that this sort of training would be making it rather boring for his friend upstairs, so with that in mind he decided he would work on more direct earth jutsu. Although the doton release was renowned for its defensive capabilities, it was quite the devastating release when it came to attacks as well. Doton masters were capable of hurling gargantuan slabs of rock at their enemies with the utmost ease, such brute force was most difficult to deal with. However, unfortunately for Sachi all doton users had to start somewhere, and like all beginners he was stuck being only able to create the smallest of rocks. What he planned on practicing right now was the ability to use the earth to create a rock, and judging from the scroll he read earlier a novice of the doton release like himself would only be capable of rocks similar in size to his hand.

Being such a low leveled technique the key to creating the rock took but four movements of his hands. Although he was engulfed in the earth he had enough room to maneuver his hands quickly and silently. The first handsign, as always, was the one that would begin the chain reaction of events within his body. The internal chakra network of the Hanakora was quickly thrust into motion as the energy was moving all throughout his entire body. He quickly progressed to the next zodiac without flaw nor hesitation, and instantaneous with his movements the chakra that was channeling through his body quickly thrust from his very being and began to seep deep into the earth around him. A quick shift of the positioning of each digit would bring him to the third handseal and just one more movement away from completion of this doton jutsu.

With this movement his chakra had taken on elemental properties in a near-instantaneous conversion. The neutral blue energy had quickly been morphed into a dark brown manifestation is doton energy, and with one more seal on the Hanakora's part he would be able to combine the minerals and the earth into a solid rock. With no time wasted Sachi would complete the jutsu with a simple, graceful motion of the hands that brought forth the last of the four zodiac necessary, and immediately thrust right arm forward an open hand shot into the earth. Within his grasp the handful of gaia and minerals compressed and combined instantly before his eyes, and with the faintest of crunching sounds the jutsu had been completed. With this rock created he could now put it to use..for such things as..throwing it..and..crushing bugs. Of course he realized how useless this technique was presently, but soon enough he would be able to create gigantic rock creations - and then he would be able to provide much more of a threat.

Armed with the rock the size of his hand Sachi would suddenly burst from the earth with a loud ripping noise. He would appear from the very location he was seemingly dropped into, and with such an abrupt appearance he was hoping he caught the female by surprise. Ascending into the air a few feet from the ground arm was winded back and the rock was gripped tightly, with a swing of his arm it was thrown towards her quickly - by the looks of her glowing fingers she didn't leave herself up here defenseless, and seemed to actually anticipate his surprise attack. Unfortunately him her attack was seemingly composed of electrical energy, which of course was the worst possible element that the doton release could be pitted against.

Jin-kippan Kusaki (人-喫 草) Man-eating Plants
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates two Venus fly-traps that are three times the size of a normal human.
Special: Writes the Kanji for this technique in blood once on the ground.
Drawback: Jin-kippan Kusaki may attack the user once their objective is completed. Can be destroyed by Raiton type jutsu.
Description: Calling forth chakra, the user covers the floor with it, changing the molecular structure of the vegetation around the user for two-thousand meters where they so choose. Concentrating their chakra into two big pools, they begin to cause the plants to grow. The enormous bulbous head is the first thing to appear, followed by the thick leafy stem of the plant. The mouth of each plant is filled with razor sharp teeth of some unknown genetic make-up, but they are more than enough to rip through human flesh and chomp through bone. These plants are different from the normal Venus fly-trap in more than just size and the ability to eat people, they can also pull in their prey with their four Murasaki Tsurukusa that are hidden in their leaves, and they can also move by their roots acting as legs to carry them from place to place. The Jin-kippan Kusaki are very moist by nature as well, making them NEARLY immune to fire.
Limit:
Limit: Grass Nin Technique. Must have Mokuton no Jutsu.

When he arose from the earth in the same spot, she'd fling her lightning bullets at his projectile, hopefully destroying the object before it could reach her. The sparking and electric noises subsided as the rock fell to pieces on the ground, and she smiled. Not a bad shot.

Now for something completely different.

She focused on her chakra, spreading it around in the area, for now only in a 100 meter radius, instead wanting to focus on creating the actual plants. She began with the head. The largest part of the body, of course she would make it first. She began to form the shape, much like a football, flat and oval. The form was created beneath the earth, so as to sprout from the ground surprisingly. For now she only formed one plant.

The head shape complete, she began on the teeth. She formed them large and razor sharp. There were hundreds of them in rows within its mouth. Next came the stem. It was thick and strong, able to hold the weight of its head upright, and it was covered in spiky leaves. The stem itself was just under a meter long, and the head added almost no height, and the rest would be filled by its legs.

Its roots grew thick from the end of the stem, and twisted until they were in the shape of legs with little feet at the bottom. It was with this completed that the creature would be given life, and spring to the surface.

With a loud crunch, the creature burst from the earth. It was rather small for what it should have been, being only a meter tall, a fraction of the size it should have been. It was no matter, however, as she was just satisfied in having made it properly.

It burst from the ground about 20 meters away and looked around as it got used to its legs. Ryu had to admit, it was rather cute for a vicious maneater. It saw Sachi and made a run for him, holding his mouth open, ready to chomp down on whatever he could fir in his mouth, which all in all couldn't be more than an arm or a leg right now. It chomped its jaws as it ran, and Ryu was quick to prepare a lightning jutsu, her bullets once more, shooting them at the creature to kill it if Sachi had not already taken care of it.

Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A simple technique used as a distraction in which the user uses a few hand seals concentrating along the chakra towards the ground. Doing so, the user takes the chakra and the rocks as they use the simple knowledge of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) to push forth sending multiple small grape sized like pebbles towards the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending of the rank the user knows of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) depends on how much pebbles the user is capable of pushing forth.
Description: Small like stones is created along the ground in pebble like form as they are pushed up along the ground and sent flying towards the very enemy or enemies depending on the type of distance the enemy or where the enemy is standing. This type of attack is somewhat of a basic like attack and is to be considered more of an annoyance when first learned by the basic form of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique). When the user gains rank as well as Difficulty class of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) the technique of Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage) becomes even more grand and more dangerous.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, must have knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique)

As the Hanakora had expected his tiny doton creation was obliterated by the raiton prowess of his female friend. It was kind of embarrassing, really. All he did was throw a rock and she blasted freaking lightning from her fingers and destroyed it completely; leaving Sachi looking kind of useless. Oh, but did he ever have something in mind. He was going to do much more than throw just another rock - he was going to throw many stones, all at the same time in fact. Just as he was going through his memories in order to recollect what handseals he exactly needed, he was interrupted when Ryu began a technique of her own in retaliation to his previous 'attack'. Before his very eyes some form of plant-like creature was being constructed as it sprung up from the earth. Its appearance was that of a meter tall venus flytraps - its mouth was filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, and it appeared to be using roots to walk!

Sachi had never come across a plant like this in his lifetime, and although it was small it still would pose a threat if it managed to bite him. Quickly the shinobi sprung into action as he realized what he'd needed to do, and once more being a low-ranked jutsu it required very few movements to complete, and thus he could have this technique sent forth in just a moment. Palms slapped together quickly in preparation for the task ahead, and watching as the plant neared Sachi pondered if this technique would even have any effect on this little creature. He doubt it felt pain, although the bludgeoning force of the rocks might be enough to damage it or cause it harm one way or another - either way it was better than nothing. Unfortunately for Sachi though in the jutsu's current state it didn't pose a threat to just about anything - except for maybe thin panes of glass.

This doton technique at its currently level was more of an annoyance and a distraction than a technique meant to harm or kill. Getting pelted with stones could hurt, but against another shinobi this attack was likely to be evaded or disregarded as non-threatening. In time this barrage of rocks would be much more powerful, for when Sachi would be capable of creating grand slabs of rock he put said rocks to his use by bombarding the enemy with them. To have gigantic stones raining down on you from above indeed posed a serious threat, one that was both hard to stop and hard to evade all in one. Sadly he still had a ways to go, so with that in mind he speedily cleared his mind of useless thoughts and continued with the handsigns. Hands and digits flashed through the first sign quickly in a blur of motion, so fast in fact that when his chakra was beginning to react within he had already been in the midst of preparing the second zodiac. It was this one that would thrust the chakra downwards through his legs, and from there it would enter the earth in a circle all around him.

The third zodiac flashed by just as fast, hands were moving at such a speed that only those with the quickest of eyes would be able to even recognize which handseals were even being formed. To all others his hands just seemed to be moving at an untraceable speed that left the image of his hands appearing like that of a large blur. With the third one complete he was almost finished, and as usual it was this very handsign that started the elemental shift within his energies in the earth, where in just the fraction of a second his regular chakra was morphed into doton chakra. The plant neared closer and closer, and in the distance it looked like Ryu was preparing another technique - and when Sachi heard the familiar snap of lightning he wondered just exactly what she was doing. Either way there was no hesitation in the Hanakora's movements as he held and maintained the final seal, and from all around him his jutsu came to life.

Chunks of the earth ripped up around him from all sides, and in a mass of projectiles rocks similar in size to the previous one were blasted forth. The stones were all aimed for the incoming plant, it was the command of the Hanakora that the barrage of stones pelt the plant along its head and stem. He hoped that strong blows along the head could possibly kill it - or damage its teeth. And that repeated strikes against the stem could snap it in half and render it incapable of moving, and most likely kill it. Vicious, man-eating plants was something he'd never come across in his journeys - and if it wasn't for the fact it was trying to attack him he might have taken the time to study and examine it.
