The hour was early and the sun was barely risen when Sumi arose from his slumber, it was time for him to take the next developmental stage in his artistry. He was going to create weather but not just any weather, it was going to rain ink. Sitting on the floor with his legs crossed he withdrew his scroll and Yataké set setting them on the floor ahead of him, a flick of his wrist would unravel the scroll providing him with the fresh place to paint. Withdrawing the brush from his Yataké set he dipped it in a small pot of ink and got to work.

His brush strokes were fluid and purposeful with not a single flick of the brush wasted. The outline of a single cloud was swiftly and neatly done.

Hmph, Child's play Now came the difficult part and that would be bringing the clouds to the world and causing them to rain. He looked upon the cloud painting below him and weaved the handsigns for choju giga but shifted the final seal to account for the change in jutsu. His chakra flower from his body and into the brush connecting with the ink used to paint before leaping to the scroll.

With the ink being one in the same the leap was easy and from the scroll the cloud began to 'inflate' It grew out of the scroll branching out to a meter at the highest part, before would reach out to a maximum of two meters in length and float up into the air. The cloud hung in the air as if attached to a child's mobile before shriveling up and turning back into a drop of ink that would drop to the floor with a splodge. Hmmm Dipping the brush back into the Yataké set's pot of ink he would sketch out a cloud once more. This cloud was painted identical to the one previously done and he put the brush handle in his teeth and his hands were graced by the beauty of the signs.

The chakra flowed from his body down into the scroll in front of him, it flowed into the painting of the cloud and ballooning from the scroll like the first cloud it grew forth. This time the cloud was five meters wide and two meters high it reached out towards the sky flying up in an attempt to grasp the sky. The cloud was currently ten meters in the air and the shadow cast put a smile upon Sumi's face. His art was alive and from the cloud a few drops of ink would spatter out like the first few drops before a storm. As each drip fell from the cloud it's size and shape would falter deforming and shifting it's size back into a puddle of ink which collapsed to the floor once more.

Dipping the brush back in the ink pot he would slide the ink dipped brush across the paper scroll painting another cloud. He looked up to the sky noting the fluffy form of the cloud to the north and with a minor tweak to the painting he would flash the signs through. His chakra would latch itself upon the ink painting pulling it from the page and inflating the cloud letting it grow up and reaching eight meters in length and four meters high. It was nearly at the size needed and he was going to finish the cloud's size creation.

The cloud hung ten meters in the air dropping a beautiful shadow over him unleashing a small barrage of ink droplets. Another smile and he would look to the sky with joy as the cloud held it's form while the droplets of ink fell to the floor. Rolling up the scroll he protected it from getting any ink on, after a second of two the cloud would disperse and the ink rain stop. Now I just need to work on keeping it there and raining [/blockquote]

The raincloud will spread out and then begin raining ink upon everyone below it. The raincloud, as it is made out of ink, will be a solid black in color. At "C" Rank, the raincloud can be no larger than ten meters in distance, and can rain for only three turns. At "B" Rank, the raincloud may be twenty meters in length, and can now rain for four turns. At "A" Rank, the raincloud may now be forty meters in length and may now rain for five turns. At "S" Rank, the raincloud may now be eighty meters in length and may now rain for six turns. At the end of the ink rain, the cloud will dissipate, revealing the weather conditions exactly as they were.

With the flow of rain over he took a few steps away looking up to the sky, the cloud was gone and the suns rays bore down on him. Flicking his scroll open it flew open and the ink dabbed brush floated across the paper, a cloud was formed upon the paper, it grew out as a five meter cloud which was two meters high. The cloud floated ten meters in the air and the drips began, he rolled up the scroll looking up, a few drips began at first and with a quick leap back the cloud let loose. He had increased the flow of chakra into the cloud and this increased the rain yield, drip drip drip... the ink cloud opened and the downpour started.

It rained heavily for about four seconds before the cloud itself turned into a splodge of ink and fell to the floor. This was progress and the only thing he had to do really would be to cause the cloud to last just over four times as long as it just did. With that plan made he would flick his brush through the put of ink and with no more than five whips of the brush the cloud was ready and he chakra was already flowing. Weaving the handsigns he could feel his chakra drain from his body and enter into the scroll ahead of him. The chakra inflated the cloud withdrawing it from the scroll and casting it to the sky. The cloud stood ten meters from the ground and was five meters in width and two meters high. He decided to get the cloud to rain before combining the size and raining.

The cloud would unleash the heavens as a storm of ink would rain out for five seconds before it began dulling. He put his hands back into the final seal for the jutsu and let his chakra continue flowing out towards the cloud. The rain which had began slowing picked up once more showering the ground beneath it for twelve seconds. It was two thirds of the time this rank of the jutsu would last but he needed to pull it out without the extra chakra addition. Going through the motions of painting the cloud was a second nature to him now, standing back from the scroll he took a small moment to flare up his chakra before weaving the signs forcing it to delicately penetrate the scroll.

Rising from the cloud like a hot air balloon the cloud rose up twenty meters to the sky, spreading out five meters and two meters high. The cloud was exactly as he painted it and as soon as it reached the twenty meter off the floor the down pour started. It flowed out for five seconds, tend seconds, fifteen seconds and then began to slow. It was near the perfect timing for the jutsu's duration but for now he still had to perfect all the timing. Painting on his scroll again his wrist began to cramp from the constant repetitive motion but he was close to finishing off this technique and he was going to finish it.

The brush commanded the ink's direction as it went over the scroll, it would twist and turn as the form of a cloud was painted. Giving what would hopefully be the final weave of handsigns for this section he watched as the cloud rose up in the air and the ink barrage would begin. It rained almost like hail as it left the cloud striking the floor beneath, the ink rain pelted the ground lasting the full eighteen seconds of the technique, with a sigh of relief he would sit back down leaning against a tree. The technique was going well and he needed a rest.

Waking from his sleep Sumi gave a tiresome yawn, his chakra had been refueled and it was time to complete the technique. Dipping his brush in the ink he opened up his scroll once more. He now needed to combine the size of the cloud with the fall of rain but also cause it to rise higher. Sliding the brush over the page he painted the cloud which would be bought to life. In a near trance like state his hands would be graced by the handseals and with hook like chakra the cloud began to get pulled from the page. He spent a little extra time before the handseals to allow his chakra to enter into the ink a little more.

The cloud would rise up from the scroll reaching up into the atmosphere, before hand the clouds were only travelling up to about fifteen meters but this cloud was rising up and beyond that. The cloud spread out covering an area equally seven meters in width, four meters in height and thirty meters from the ground. It was truly a excellent cloud, the levitation and area were making great progress but would it rain... Enough chakra entered into the ink to open the cloud and from it unleash a down pour of ink, nine seconds would pass before the cloud would dry up and turn into a splatter of ink.

Hmmm With a raised eye brow he looked up to where the cloud was, I knew I wasn't cut out to be a ninja... He gave a sigh and with drew the scroll once more. He was going to at least finish this technique and with that little spark he would push forth and try to finish this technique. He dipped his scroll in the ink and let it dance across the scroll. He painted a cloud upon the scroll and put the brush back in his mouth, with the brush secure he flushed the handseals and would this time slap his hand on the scroll. His chakra flowed out through his hand and into the scroll, the chakra entered with a flurry and mixed with the ink lifting it from the page.

The cloud rose up forty meters into the air and in a spin out it the cloud covered a ten meter area, the cloud settled at the forty meter altitude before letting the ink rain come forth. The ink spewed out lasting for fifteen seconds before the cloud imploded turning into a wad of ink once more. Falling to the floor Sumi jumped back narrowly dodging it, the technique was almost done. He needed it to rise up another ten meters and make the rain last a little longer. Flipping the scroll out in a clean area he dipped the paintbrush in to his small pot of ink, a few quick strokes and the cloud was painted once more.

Letting his hands dance in and out of each handsign his chakra would flow into the scroll mixing with the ink. The chakra inflated the cloud like blowing up a balloon to the ten meter area, taking a few steps back he watched as the cloud floated up hitting the fifty meter mark and without warning releasing a flurry of ink rain. Leaping back Sumi dodged the incoming b,arrage of ink drops, from the first drop he would count up the seconds: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18..... The rain stopped the moment he said the final number and the cloud would disappear turning into the final few droplets before letting the chakra float away.[/blockquote]

Rain had come, rain had gone, the jutsu learned was now done. A small smile came on his face, maybe he wasn't as pathetic as he thought but he still doubted his ninja prowess, maybe if he got promoted to C rank he could believe what others said but for now he would just get back to trying. With the pot of ink by his side the Li clan member would grace his hands with a small flurry of handseals, he planned on making his ink sticky and training any jutsu he could with it also. With the ink prepped by the handseals he would dip the brush into the small ink pot by his side and paint onto the scroll.

A bird of magnificence was painted upon the parchment and a secondary weave of handsigns pulled the bird from the page sending it out into the sky. After performing a few aerial acrobatics it would turn and fly directly into a tree across from him, it was time to check the stickiness of his ink so collecting a twig from the ground he would walk over to the impact zone. Taking the twig up in his hand he poked and stroked the ink impact feeling a slight stickiness from the ink that normal ink didn't provide he knew the jutsu was on it's way. Walking back to where he began he would clean off his brush in a small pot of water by hide side. With a clean brush he cast his hands through the seals letting his chakra flow out of himself and into the small ink pot.

Dipping his brush back into the ink he would begin again, this time he would paint a wolf, the ink felt thicker and harder to use but with a little wrist action he got used to it. The wolf's features were perfected and it would be time to test the ink creation's stickiness. A flash of the choju giga and the medium sized beast roared forth as if a demon tearing a gate way into reality. From the scroll it lurched through the atmosphere colliding with branches and the tree's trunk before shattering into thousands of ink droplets. The twigs and branches bent back by the collision stuck to the trunk being held fast by the stickiness of the ink. Seeing the impact of his jutsu from afar he pulled a stick down from the tree above him and paced over to the impact zone.

With a fresh stick in his hand he poked the ink and as if it were a living beast the ink grasped and held firm to the stick. He tried pulling and pulling by the ink's beast like grip was incredible, strong as that of a Tai master. With a slight smile and shrug it was evident the jutsu was going well, for the first time in months he felt confident in a jutsu. Taking a few steps back he picked a stone up from the floor and tossed it at full strength towards the pile of ink. Colliding with the ink it sent out a few splashes of which Sumi would jump backwards to carefully avoid. Looking at the giant ink splat he saw the branch and rock stuck onto the tree and another smile sat on his face. To hopefully finish the jutsu he was going to take one more chance upon it.

Returning to his small ink pot he cleaned his brush and gave a shot of the handseals allowing his chakra to permeate the ink turning it into the sticky ink jutsu. Dabbing the brush into the ink Sumi painted five medium sized birds and called the beasts from the scroll. A screech arose in the air as they shadowed the sky above him, grabbing the ink brush and scroll he rolled out from beneath his tree watching while the five birds impacted with the top of the tree. Bending down with the impact the branches would stick together and to the trunk, the force would surprise even Sumi, the formerly oak tree now looked like it was a black evergreen, the branches slicked down with sticky ink.

The sticky ink was a success but for the next ink modification jutsu he would have to move far out of his comfort zone. Although he was a ninjutsu master the fire release went against everything he had known - his natural affinity for ice, water and wind.... none of them liked fire too much but for the next jutsu he needed to know it. This was going to be by far the hardest thing he had to do and as such he needed to focus, so he began by placing away all his precious art equipment, brushes inks, scrolls and all before setting to work. Looking around Sumi would notice a puddle of water on the floor, it would be a good way to begin - Temperature control. After all to create fire you need heat.

Walking over to the puddle upon the floor, Sumi would crouch and sit down cross legged with his hands leaning over the puddle. Training this release shouldn't be that hard..... should it? With a shrug Sumi closed his eyes picturing the chakra system he had studied and painted in the academy, as his eyes closed he began to focus his chakra the same way he would with the wind release, as his chakra would flow he felt it travelling through all the individual points a small gale began to leave from his fingers. He knew that fire was boosted by wind techniques which was why he chose to use wind chakra to begin with,
