A claw rested on each hand, borrowed from a Master in a local dojo for the time being. She stood with her left elbow just touching her waist. Her wrist was turned upwards allowing for easy underhanded strikes with the claw. Her right hand was lifted higher, the claw facing straight forwards. The weapon positioning felt decent but her feet being natural was awkward. She let her right foot slide forwards, creating a more balanced stance for her to attack from.

With her feet in a good place she re-adjusted her hands. The weapon on her left was not pointing forwards properly. She adjusted that and held it steady while extending it out further, and to the side so her elbow was not quite tucked to her body. She swiped experimentally, bringing the weapons towards each other in a cutting motion. It felt decent but her right arm wasn’t quite in the proper position. She shifted her right arm carefully, letting the weapon drift further to the left.

It could be difficult to get the positioning exact but she was fairly certain she had done it now. The master came out to look upon her and nodded. It was an acceptable stance. He shifted her hands ever so slightly and she held the position for a moment before stepping out of it then returning to said position. It felt better this time, she was getting more used to it.[/font][/ul]

Feel it coming in the air

She took up the stance and watched her master easily disarm a practice dummy. She moved around him fluidly and watched the attack from all angles before going in to perform the move for herself. She settled into her stance easily and took a deep breath, clearing her mind. She let her arms slice inwards, like an overgrown pair of scissors really. They touched against the wooden sword and stopped. She jerked as the contact sent a jarring motion through her body. She shook out her arms and took up the stance once more.

Her master corrected her technique and she nodded. She let her arms slice inwards and connect with the weapon before following with a push through like the scissoring motion she was supposed to produce. The weapon shuddered but did not give. She frowned and yanked her knives from the wood that had caught them and set up once more, determination blazing in her eyes. Emotions and past troubles did not matter. She had a village to defend, weakness would not be tolerated.

She exhaled deeply bringing herself to center before letting her weapons smash inwards with a shout of power. The energy gathered in her shout had been enough to make it work. Her knives smashed into the weapon and smashed through, knocking it at precise angles to dislodge it from the dummy and sent it soaring through the air. She stepped back with a wolfish grin when her master told her that was only the beginning. Next she would have to break it.

“I can do this.” She murmured. Power and determination rose within her as she surged in and swiped her blades across each other, meeting the wooden blade and feeling the jarring against her arms. She shook her head. “Aim past the blade.” Her master told her. It made sense, which would carry the strength past the weapon instead of stopping when connecting to it. She nodded and surged once more, aiming her blades to the opposite side of the wooden blade, letting the strength carry past the weapon.

Wood splintered and exploded in a shower of splinters. She turned her cheek, protecting her eyes from the wooden shrapnel as it flew through the air. The muscles in her arms burned but she had done it. The weapon was shorn in two due to the strength of her blades. Her master nodded and explained that this would have the same effect on a human limb. She exhaled deeply, whistling due to being impressed with the strength of the technique. She was sure this would aid her one day.[/font][/ul]

A user can gain the capability of grabbing onto the very ground and molding a piece of earth into a hardened like rock. The more the user learns and the higher the Difficulty class the user becomes the more they are capable of mastering this type of technique. When first learned the user is only capable of formulating rock into the size of their hand. When the user learns the "C" Rank, version this type increases to five meters in radius.

Hear the screams from everywhere

It was time for a break from Taijutsu. Mayu had found a skill she was eager to learn unfortunately the prerequisites were numerous. Still, she owed it to her village to become as strong as she could. She started of with the rock creation skill. She brought her hands together and carefully began to form the required hand seals. It was not an unduly long string of seals but it was an annoyance all the same. She formed the seals multiple times, driving the combination of zodiac symbols deep into her mind so she could recall them with ease when needed.

Next she added chakra into the mix. For all that she was innately skilled with chakra arts she felt more at ease with Taijutsu. She formed the seals and let her energy flow down into her hands. She took her hand and slammed it onto the soil before her. Energy flowed from her fingers and pulsed into the earth. With her will she pressed in, focus on turning the earth into rock. Her will empowered her chakra, causing earth to buck and shift, reforming it to her desire. This was for her village. She was going to run this town and she was going to do it right, unlike Elgar.

She would do this. It was the first step of many. Those she chose to ally would be thankful for their assistance, those she called enemies would quake in their boots, others would be afraid to cross her. If only she could turn this dirt to rock. As she lifted the handful of what was supposed to be rock it flowed through her fingers like soil does. A roar resonated from her throat as she spun and hurled the dirt with all her might. As the soil left her fingers she began to flicker through the hand seals once more. This was ridiculous, this skill would not beat her.

She thrust her hand deep into the earth, taking a fistful of dirt into her palm. Chakra roared through her body and threaded down through her arm, spilling into her hand and infusing into the loamy soil beneath her fingertips. “Fuck this.” she growled. She would do this. Nothing would stop her. She felt the dirt shifting beneath her fingers, hardening in her grasp as her will continued to press down. She would do this and then she would do even better. She would conjure the greatest defense for her village, to be followed by the greatest offense. It was her duty and her desire.

Exhaustion edged into her senses and she pushed it aside. Sleep was for the week. She had slept a few days ago. With a last burst of chakra she tore her hand free from the earth and curled her fingers tighter against her handful. It hurt her hand. Rather than crumble the item in her hand just refused to move. She relaxed her grip and looked closely. What she had now was a rock. She turned and chucked the rock onto a nearby tree. The rock bounced and clattered to the ground. A triumphant shout left her lips. “This is my town.” She hissed at the empty space around her.[/font][/ul]
