LEARNING

• Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)
  Rank: "D"
  Skill: NinJutsu
  Effect: User hurls a mixture of senbon needles in the form of wind to cut into the opponent.
  Special: "Handseals"
  Drawback: ---
  Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. This technique may be blocked by large objects, however something small such as a sword, or a staff will allow the needles to seperate still moving towards the object it was originally sent to. Not a powerful technique as the user is capable of hurling up to ten senbon wind needles that gives out minor cuts. However this could be used as a more of a set up technique to allow the user to perform a more dangerous technique.
  Limit: Must have the Wind Release

It was a sunny morning in Otogakure, and Logi returned to the field once more to further his skills in NinJutsu. He pondered whether or not he should take a break from all this raiton training, and do something different, so he did. Logi decided on learning a distractive technique; Something that wouldn't do much damage, but would be strong enough to keep his enemy at bay while he moved about. Taking off his coat, and putting down his katana on a patch of dirt, Logi was now ready to begin training.

He stood in the field, with feet shoulder-width apart. He then proceeded to form these handseals: Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Bird, Monkey, Snake. Making sure he bent his thumbs when performing the tiger handseal, Logi soon finished off the sequence of handseals. Bending his thumbs was important because it's something he didn't do last time he trained, which led to him not being able to perform the technique he was learning properly. Logi concentrated on circulating chakra around his body, but mostly to his hands. The chakra originated from his abdominal area, and was flowing around his body at a slow speed, so slow that it took around 10 seconds for the chakra to reach his chest. He distributed his chakra to his hands, evenly. Logi envisioned the chakra as being a light green color, as to represent the Fuuton element.

Now confident that he had gathered enough chakra, Logi put his hands in front of him, about 10 cm apart. The hands were in an open position, as if he was holding a ball with two hands. He focused his mind on gathering air around him into something more... solid. As he closed his eyes, he began to envision the space between his hands acting like some sort of a vortex that sucked in the air around him, and concentrated it into that one spot, about the size of a football. He focused on compressing the air, to the point that he could actually feel it between his hands. The air itself was almost invisible, but he could see something hazy. The same haziness that you can see on a hot day, in the distance.

Logi now thinking that he had gathered enough air, began to infuse chakra into it. He pictured the chakra that was circulating around his body. He imagined it flowing through his arms, into his hands, and then slowly leaving his body, through his fingertips. Once the chakra left the body, Logi would imagine it fusing with the ball of air he had in between his hands. By fusing with the ball of air, the chakra gave it some structure, making it something that Logi actually felt. The chakra also lowered the haziness effect, so much so, that Logi could now not see the ball of air, only feel it.

Once he had infused the air with chakra, it was soon time to execute the technique. He looked around and saw a tree. It was old, Logi could tell that by just looking at the bark, It was chipping away in some places, and was probably very brittle. Deciding that the tree would be the target of this attack, Logi gazed straight at it. He then imagined the ball of air in between his hands turning into lots of sharp needles. The feeling of the ball regressed, giving Logi the signal to go. He pushed his hands forward as hard as he could towards the tree, and the air needles were now traveling towards it.

• Raiton - Raikyuu (Lightning Ball)
  Rank: "D-Rank"
  Skill: NinJutsu
  Effect: Creates a ball of lightning used to where the technique is capable of being hurled towards the person.
  Special: "Hand Seals"
  Drawback: The user is unable to move while using this technique.
  Description: The user does an amount of handseals as they quickly concentrate on the chakra along the palm of their hands. The technique is used to where they create a small ball of lightning to where the user is capable of hurling it towards the opponent. This technique is weak however and is only capable of paralyzing an opponent for approximately one round no matter how strong the opponent may be.
  Limit: Lightning Release

0/10

Confident that he now learned the air needle jutsu, Logi decided it was about time to move back to Raiton techniques. His next objective was to learn a technique called Raiton-Raikyuu. This technique followed the same principals as the air needle technique, but made a ball of lightning instead of air. Logi went back to his stance, which was feet shoulder-width apart and hands by the sides. It was getting to be the evening, more birds were flying around and the sun hung low on the horizon.

Logi raised his hands up to chest height, and formed the following handseals:Tiger, snake, monkey, snake, ox, tiger. He was confident that he had the handseals perfect. He held the last seal, as to help him mold chakra. He envisioned some chakra generating at his abdominal area, the chakra was spinning in clock-wise circles, around its point of origin. As time went on, Logi imagined the chakra becoming faster and faster; Reaching considerable speed.

As in his air needle technique, Logi held out his hands about 10 cm apart, with the hands held open. Just as if he was holding a ball. He focused on circulating chakra around his body, envisioning it as purple to represent the element of lightning. The chakra was fast this time, taking less than two seconds to rise up to his chest. It was flowing around his body at great speeds, covering every last inch of his chakra network. Logi directed the chakra towards his hands, and soon enough, thats where the chakra was heading.

As the chakra filled his arms, he felt energy... something strengthening. He kept directing the chakra towards his hands, and in a second or two, it was there. His hands were tingling, just as in the Bolt Fang technique. He flooded even more chakra to his hands, and soon they were glowing. Logi pictured the chakra leaving his hands through his palms, and sure enough, a crackling ball of electricity began forming. It was small at first, about a marble in size. But in a few minutes grew to the size of a tennis ball. Logi was determined to make it bigger, and so, he added even MORE chakra to it. The ball was now the size of a small football, leaving Logi happy.

The ball was crackling due to the electricity contained within; There was no way Logi could use this as a stealth technique. As Logi concentrated, he began to lose patience with each passing of the second. He wanted to execute the technique, he wanted it bad. He saw a small squirrel about 3 meters away from him.
"Perfect target!" Logi exclaimed as he thrust his hands forward, letting the huge ball of electricity make its way towards the unsuspecting critter. This ball of electricity would not harm the poor thing. Just temporarily paralyze it.

As Logi looked down the list of jutsu he was to train today, he saw that the next jutsu to learn was called Charged Projectile. This one was a relatively simple technique; All it required the user to do is channel some raiton energy into a kunai/shuriken. However, this jutsu would prove to be harder than others, simply because Logi was now getting tired from all the training he had done before this. As he stood up, he took up his usual training stance, consisting of making his feet shoulder-width apart, and hands by the sides. It was almost evening, the sun was about to set and bat's were flying around.

As Logi grabbed a kunai from his butt bag, he held it firmly in the palm of his hand. Closing his eyes, Logi imagined chakra originating from his intestinal area. He envisioned it to be purple, as purple as the lightning. Logi flooded the kunai with chakra. It was going good so far. As he added more and more chakra, Logi soon realised that in-fact, he was adding way too much. Noticing this too late, the kunai was already crackling with electricity, and zapped his hand before he could get rid of the damn thing. His hand felt like he had just touched an open wire, it was numb and paralyzed. Knowing that he had no other option but to sit down and wait till the paralysis ends, he did just the thing.

Getting back up, Logi picked up the same kunai he had before, again, in his right hand. As the chakra circulated his body, he began directing it towards the hand in which he was holding the kunai. As he felt the chakra travel down his arm and into the palm of his hand, Logi let the chakra escape him and transfer to the kunai. Logi noted that holding the kunai felt like licking a battery, only on his fingers instead of tongue. He read that if he added too much chakra into the kunai, it would backfire and paralyze his hand temporarily, something he wasn't exactly wishing for. He stopped to flow of chakra to the projectile, and readied himself.

He looked around, and saw that the critter he had stunned with his lightning ball jutsu was still paralyzed, but was getting back up... slowly. As the squirrel saw Logi's face, it instantly knew the intention of his gaze. The rodent's eyes widened, as if to say "NO-NO-NO". But it was too late, Logi had his target. As he spun it around, Logi threw the kunai, deliberately missing the squirrel, but getting the Kunai near enough as to stun the critter once again.

As the kunai flew past the rodent, it discharged some electricity. The rodent carried on like nothing happened, just a big light show. Logi figured he didn't put enough chakra into the kunai, probably because he was afraid of being zapped again. He walked past the squirrel, bent down and picked his kunai back up. It was covered in dirt, so he quickly wiped it off and carried on walking back to his spot. Determined on getting it right this time, Logi put the kunai firmly in his right hand, between his middle and ring fingers. It was time to try again.

Flooding the kunai with chakra again, Logi was carefully controlling the amount he was putting in. Little by little, the kunai started tingling again; Logi kept adding more chakra. Soon the tingling sensation was extremely strong, and Logi decided that it was enough chakra. To aid the technique, Logi also let some of his chakra concentrate around his hands, as to help with the kunai. Taking aim, he let the kunai fly towards his target... the poor old squirrel.

Katon No Jutsu (Fire Release Skill)
0/30

It was a sunny morning as Logi stepped through the doorway. Inside was a dark room, with people sitting around tables, chatting away. Logi was inside an inn, and he knew the owner well. Logi decided that this would be the perfect location to train his Katon No Jutsu. As he found a table at the very back of the inn, he waved his hand and called a waiter to attention. A short teenager, not much older than him came to Logi's service.
"Yes? Anything I could do for you?" The man asked, not with the greatest enthusiasm.
"Yeah, could you bring me a candle please?" Logi said. The teenager looked at Logi as if to say "Why the hell do you need a candle?" But instead nodded and went off.

As the boy brought him the candle, it was already lit. Perfect. Seeing as he wasn't needed anymore, the teenager went off to do his job. Logi stared at the candle, concentrating. It was time to meditate. He closed his eyes, and crossed his feet. Logi then imagined red chakra originating from his abdominal area, circulating around his whole body. The chakra was unpredictable, just like fire. It would often take random turns throughout his chakra network. Logi envisioned the chakra slowing down, and speeding up at certain points; randomly picked out by him. As he kept his mind on his chakra, Logi was now beginning to relax. He always liked to clear his mind before learning something, especially something as big as a new release.

Logi opened his eyes, they were glowing with enthusiasm. It was time to begin training. For the first part, Logi just sat there observing the flame. He noted how it moved, which way it tended to blow towards, and he also noticed the changes in height. Logi knew himself that there was no way he could figure out a flame, even if he sat there for 10 years. Fire was unpredictable. This was all part of his training, it would help him visualize what fire looked like, whenever he needed to. He watched it as the flame started flickering, frequently and strongly. This was yet another part of the flame's unpredictability. Logi decided to get on with his training.

Not taking his gaze away from the candle, he stared past the flame. Logi then focused his eyesight on the actual flame. This time however, he wasn't simply watching it dance; Logi was trying to enforce his will over the flame. He concentrated his mind on making the flame move left, then right. Most of the time, the flame would disobey him, but once or twice every 10 minutes, the flame would obey. This might've been a coincidence, but Logi took it as progress. Soon, the flame was agreeing with Logi's decisions more and more often.

Katon No Jutsu
8/30

After the somewhat failed attempt at training yesterday, Logi decided that it would be best to take a break. After having done so, Logi went to his favorite place; It was a field, a small one, maybe 50x50 meters at the most. There were trees dotted around, and a small stream running along the outside of the field. As he took in the pure feeling of nature hits place had, he saw the sun softly beam down through the trees, and heard all sorts of little critters scattering about. He listened intently to the beautiful song of a hermit thrush. This wasn't just pointless staring at nature however, Logi had to calm his mind, and nothing does it better than nature. It was time to start training.

He threw down his coat, and his katana by a tree that was about 2 meters to the right of him. Closing his eyes, Logi concentrated on getting his chakra flow going, nice and steady. He formed the tiger handseal. This particular handseal was known for its affinity with the element of fire. A lot of Katon jutsu either started with or had this handseal in them. Firstly, Logi pictured a blue stream of chakra swirling around inside him, around his abdominal area. He envisioned it flowing in clockwise circles, then suddenly changing direction and flowing in anti-clockwise circles.

As he kept his concentration, Logi focused on the heat of the sun. He noted the warmness of it bouncing off his skin, heating it up slightly. He took this feeling and amplified it as much as he could. Logi now began picturing a small amount of red chakra mixing in with the blue. Although as he was adding the red chakra, Logi was now imagining the blue chakra becoming almost colorless. He kept pouring more and more red chakra into the mixture, until eventually, Logi was statisfied with having enough Katon essence in his chakra flow.

His next goal was to spread that chakra from his intestinal area. He imagined the chakra slowly leaving his intestines through his chakra network. It was flowing up to his chest, very slowly. After about 10 seconds, Logi could feel the chakra in his chest, although he wasn't one to stop there. Logi kept pushing his chakra through his body, splitting it into four and letting each stream go down each one of his limbs. First, the arms; As the chakra flooded Logi's arms, he felt strength building up inside. His muscles were feeling more... powerful, as if he had just drunken an energy drink. Logi then proceeded to send the chakra down to his legs, replicating the same feeling.

He was now approaching his goal. Logi quickly flooded all the chakra back into his chest, or at least as quick as he could, it was stilll incredibly slow; Taking about 20 seconds to gather in his chest area.As he returned the chakra, he slowly inhaled. Taking care to mix a bit of his chakra with the air that was now inside his lungs, Logi slowly breathed out. As he did so, Logi put his palm in front of his mouth, as to feel the warmth of the air coming out. It was definitely warmer than just normal air that you would breathe. This air had Logi's very own Katon chakra mixed into it.

Logi was progressing, and he was quite happy with himself. Logi now needed to improve his timing; The whole process of preparing his chakra was taking far too long, in a battle, it would be fatal. He needed to concentrate less on the essence of it, and more on the technique. Logi's sole purpose now was to speed up the chakra flow that he knows he is able to produce. He slowed down his thoughts through meditation, and stood in preparation. Looking around, Logi saw that the sun was setting, and was doing so fast. If he wanted to finish his training, he would need to hurry up.

He closed his eyes and began concentrating. Logi thought of the heat he felt a while back. Once again, he amplified this feeling, along with the thoughts of red chakra starting to swirl inside him. it was flowing near his abdominal region, in circles, constant and much faster than before. He concentrated all his thoughts on getting his chakra flooding up to his chest. As he did so, Logi instantly felt the difference in speed; The chakra was now much faster than before, taking about half a second to get to his chest. He repeated what he had done before, splitting his envisioned chakra into four and sending each stream down a corresponding limb. he felt power build up in his muscles, and as quickly as he started, he sent back all of his Katon chakra straight back to his chest, in just less than a second. This was much better than before.

Confident he had the speed of his chakra down, it was time for Logi to move on. The next step was quite idiotic. Any stranger would think that Logi is out of his mind. The next step was to light something on fire and try to control the flames. If anyone knew of Logi's plans, they would be calling the fire department faster than you could blink.
"No better way to learn than experience, right?" Logi said to himself as he snapped his fingers while looking at an isolated patch of grass, near to the stream of water. The grass caught fire, and a small amount of heat was coming off it.

Looking at the now burning patch of grass, Logi held the tiger seal. His thoughts amplified the heat source, taking advantage of the fire. He mixed his chakra with a bit of Katon chakra, confident that he could do it adeptly. Logi opened his eyes, feeling the hot chakra flowing around him. He raised his arms, and as he did so, the intensity of the flames increased. Logi then pushed his arms to the left, and then repeated the same motion in the opposite direction. Like they were alive, the flames danced; Obeying every command that Logi was giving them. The leaned to the left, and then to the right; All while burning oh so brightly in the night. The sun had set, and Logi knew that he needed to finish his training soon.

Katon No Jutsu
26/30



Making sure he was fairly confident with controlling the flames, Logi extinguished the fire. It was already night time; The song of birds could no longer be heard, and was instead replaced by the sound of crickets chirping away in the moonlight. He heard the stream flowing, and the sound of a lone wolf howling in the night. He remembered that fire was the giver of life... as well as the taker. He collected a few flower seeds from around the field and planted them in the patch of burnt grass.

Walking up to the tree at the entrance of the field, Logi picked up his Katana and coat. He slipped his coat on, enjoying the warmth it brought him, and he put his katana round his back. After picking up everything else, Logi was about to leave when an idea popped up in his mind. What if I was to make some kind of reminder of my learnings? Logi walked up to the same tree, and flooded Katon chakra to his right hand index fingertip. Having enough chakra there, Logi firmly pressed his finger into the bark of the tree, leaving a small circular burn mark.
For every jutsu I learn, I will make one more mark on the tree. He noted to himself as he began exiting the field. He saw a little squirrel run past him, and after seeing him, it ran even faster.Hmmm.... must be that little critter from earlier on! He thought to himself.

Hanabi no Shinka (Fire Flower of Evolution)
Rank: “E” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive, Defensive, Pre-requisite
Effect: Creates a small flower made of flames with six petals that are each six inches long.
Special: “Hand Seals”- Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger, extending the left hand away from the body, then using the thumb, index, and middle fingers in a triangle-like formation.
Drawback: This ability has no real value beyond using it within a combo attack.
Description: This jutsu creates a flower made entirely of flames. The user performs the required hand seals, channeling chakra through the left hand’s thumb, index, and middle fingers. The left hand is then moved away from the body, and the three mentioned fingers form a triangle shape, while the other two fingers close like the user would make a fist. The built chakra then move upwards and out of the hand, sparking to life and creating a flower with six petals that are six inches long each. If the triangle formation is ever broken, then the entire flame disappears. This ability can almost be treated like a fighting style stance. Each use of a Hanabi no Shinka will require a set amount of petals to be used; after the petals have all been used, the ability must be re-performed. Any time that a part of the Hanabi no Shinka has been destroyed, so long as the whole flower is not destroyed, it will slowly regenerate unless it has been used for an attack.
Limit: Requires the Fire Release

Logi was once again at the same field he always trained in. The sun was bright in the sky like always, it was Otogakure after all. He dropped his sword and coat in their usual places. Hmm... I come here so often, I could practically live here! Logi thought to himself sarcastically. He loved this place, it was quite remote, so nobody else did their training here. This place also had been untouched by the village life, so the wildlife was scurrying about, each doing their own business.

Logi stood in preparation, his hands were by his sides, and his feet were shoulder width apart. The ninja then closed his eyes, and began focusing on chakra flow. Logi imagined his somewhat colorless chakra mixing in with his very own Katon chakra. It swirled about until the chakra finally started to spread around his chakra network. Soon, Logi felt warm throughout, signaling that he was now in control of Katon chakra. He now focused on getting the chakra to his thumb, middle and index fingers. After weaving together some handseals, Logi thrust his left arm out. As he did so, he closed his ring and pinkie finger, as if he was making a fist, but left his middle, index and thumb fingers in a triangle formation. Chakra leaked out from the three fingers and started forming into a small swirling ball. From the ball, streams of chakra extended and thickened, forming what seemed to be incredible looking petals. What Logi had achieved was a fire flower of evolution. It was beautiful in every sense of the word; The petals were slowly spinning around the center of the flower.

ooc: Oops, I did a Logi lol

ic:

Although Logi performed the jutsu, he did it somewhat wrong. Realizing that the petals weren't supposed to be spinning, he released the jutsu and decided to try again. Thinking that the cause might have been his handseals, Logi was going to concentrate extra-hard on them this time. First, he started with the tiger handseal. It consisted of Logi putting both of his hands together and interlocking his pinkie and ring fingers. The middle and index fingers were pointing straight up, while the thumbs were together, bent at a 90 degree angle, also pointing up. The next handseal was the Dog handseal. To do it, Logi had to form a fist with his right hand, and then place his left palm (extended) over the fist. It was then time to move on to the Dragon handseal. Now this was a trickier one, seeing as it required the user to bend their thumbs at 90 degrees at the top, pointing away from the user. The index, middle and ring fingers were interlocked, and the pinkie fingers were pointing down. The rest of the handseals were simply different combinations of the handseals stated above.

Confident that he knew the seals well, Logi moved on to actually performing the technique. he extended his left hand. First, he formed a fist with it, palm side up. He then extended his thumb index and middle finger, putting them into a triangle-like formation. The next step was to use chakra to get the technique started. Logi pushed his Katon chakra to the end of the three fingers, and as he did so, a small ball of flames started forming. First it was about the size of a marble, but after a few seconds it grew to the size of a large tennis ball. Adding even more chakra, Logi now focused on forming the petals. Three strings of fire rose up from his fingertips, widening and thickening to form three 'petals' coming out of the ball. he then sent three more strings of fire, and their job was to do the same thing the first strings of fire did. At the end, Logi had a pretty looking flower of flames in his hand; The petals were still, and the flames were dancing above his hand.
