It was the first day after talk with Mizukage. He felt a bit depressed that Mizukage forces him to train in order to be strong. However, he knew the water village needed a lot of strong shinobies although Water village lived in peace. You can never know when we can get involved in a fight.

That’s why Azu took a scroll from his mother’s collection. It was tiny little black scroll; at first you might think it contains nothing important. However, there were hidden very precious jutsu which was used by his mother. At first he opened the scroll and carefully watched through symbols. The guy got quite scared because at first he thought he wasn’t capable of handling that kind of jutsu. However, instead of killing his nerve cells he decided to meditate a bit and get his chakra control; when people are nervous, they are lack of chakra control. Azu sit on the ground with his legs crossed. His tip toes touched each other; the position for meditation was prepared. The only thing left was his eyes; they need to be closed because as long as you stay with opened eyes, you cannot relax. Eyes distract your attention because they always send you information about environment.

White-haired guy closed his eyes. He saw only darkness in front of him. However, it seemed that when he closed his eyes, he could feel his chakra’s circulation. His head was heavy, his hands were heavy too; it was a bad sign because chakra at these points were disharmonized. Azu breathed in deeply, thinking about nothing. He repeated the same action a few more times. His hands and head still felt quite heavy. However, he knew he was in a better situation than he was before. He continued this breathing ritual until he stopped thinking of it. Finally, his thoughts floated to something intangible. Azu felt how the plug of chakra slowly moved through all the body, proportionally distributed through his entire body. It looked his chakra was finally harmonized. He opened his eyes and looked at the scroll again.


He read the symbols and gracefully repeated hand signs. In this way he tried to memorize the order of handseals. At first Azu hardly could memorize the sequence of hand signs but more he repeated it, the better and faster he could performed it. However, he still had quite a lot do to – hand seals and chakra control must be combined in order to perform the jutsu successfully. That’s why he decided to give a shot for the jutsu. At first Azuma closed his and slowly but surely performed hand signs. Later on he released not very big amount of chakra. Sadly, nothing happened even when he performed all the hand signs. Let’s be honest. Azu failed his first jutsu and now he was stuck with a mistake that he made. The question was: what kind of mistake did he make?

You have one paragraph listed twice. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was an accident. So I can only give you credit for what was actually legitimate training.

[chupacabra]

[[Heh! Thanks! Yeah, that double paragraph was written there by a mistaken, you were right there. Damn that distraction childish distraction! >.> Well, I'm still learning. Like our psychology teacher says: the harder you feel in training, the easier you feel during the match ^^]]

He tried to remember all the short performance of jutsu and find the mistake. He had two hypotheses for that: the first one was he might mix up a hand sign and the second one was he probably released not enough chakra. However, he thought even of the third possibility: he did both of mistakes which made him facepalm himself quite hard. Well, but there was no time to fool around ‘thinking’ of the mistakes; it was about to time to take some actions.

Azuma looked like he hadchanged a bit. His eyes looked more assure serious than before. He moved his fingers quite slowly with his eyes closed (he still wasn’t sure if his chakra is on balance) and then he slowly released chakra from his body, creating little back mist from his body. However, you couldn’t call that creation ‘mist’ because it looked like a pile of smoldering planks; Azu could never make a black cloud from that ‘much’ mist. Damn it! This jutsu requires more chakra than I expected. he cursed a little bit in his thoughts and finally he tried once again. This time while performing hand signs, he released greater amount of chakra which helped to create thicker black mist around Azu’s body. He looked to the sky but, unfortunately, nothing happened; there was still something that didn’t let him release the maximum amount of chakra.

The guy got a bit upset he failed for the second time. However, he decided to try for the third time but he thought of changing technique: this time he would try to release his chakra at the very beginning of performance (he always thought that hand signs works as a wire between master and the puppet so if you want the maximum result of your jutsu, you must left your hand signs to form your chakra). That’s why he closed his eyes again and concentrated his minds only into chakra floating. He wanted to feel how hand signs can mess up with his chakra while performing this jutsu.

While performing very first hand seal, nothing special happened in his body; it looked like chakra was preparing for some kind of movement. During the second hand sign, he felt that his chakra is trying to expand a bit but someone didn’t allow to do that. Third and fourth hand signs made his charka move really fast. Azu even could feel that his body nicely warmed up. Fifth and sixth hand signs caused unexplainable feeling that someone is gently burning your skin and at the same time chakra transformed into black mist. It flew to the sky but, unfortunately it disappeared, leaving Azu thinking of his mistakes once again which he made quite a lot.

This time he couldn’t solve the problem why the back cloud wasn’t forming. As always, Azu had two hypotheses. The first one was he didn’t release enough chakra to form the black cloud. The second was, he probably needed to find a way how to control the black mist and connect it into one huge rainy cloud. However, he also had his third possibility, which is probably obvious: he needed to do both steps.

Skipping all the performance steps and finger movements, he concentrated now his all thoughts in forming black mist and clouds. He released his chakra from his body. Now it seemed his body was streaming with the same black smokes around him. This time Azu looked like the devil himself; you do not see a streaming person that often. However, it seemed the jutsu this time was performed more successfully; he managed to form a little black cloud in the sky but, unfortunately, the rain didn’t show up. Luckily, the same cloud stayed there for quite a while, covering the sun and making the environment around him look like dangerous place. But suddenly guy fell on the ground and closed his eyes; his body was too tired to cope with a huge amount of chakra.

“So you are awake, kid! Heh! Amaya worked a bit differently with this technique. She literally observed how clouds are formed. It’s up to you, kid, to find out. I’ll be honest with you, Azuma… you chose wrong type of cloud. Even if you had had enough chakra, the rain would have never been appeared. Why? Think. If you form wrong type of cloud, the oil won’t appear. In other words, if the cloud is too high, the oil simply won’t reach the ground. I guess that’s your main mistake. Well, take a look at this when you have some time.”

The old man left Azuma lying under the tree. Luckily, the same man left him a little book about clouds’ formation. He opened the first page; the first thing Azuma saw was a scheme of clouds. Basically, there were three groups of clouds. The first group of clouds formed quite high – 7,5 – 12 km. The problem was that these kind of clouds were easily formed but they were transparent and because they really high, the rain was impossible from that kind of clouds. In other words, Azu now realized that all his efforts were absolutely useless because even if he had formed a cloud, the oil would have never reached the ground.

The second group of clouds looked more interesting: they were formed weren’t that high: from 3 till 7,5 km high. However, these kinds of clouds make Azuma pay his attention; the rain from this group of clouds didn’t last for a very long time and it requires less chakra. In other words, if you wanted to only to burn a particular place or particular person, you practically could create a cloud in 3 - 7,5km. The book also marked that the lower the cloud is, the stronger but the shorter the rain was.

Finally Azuma moved reading about the third group of clouds which are located in less than 3 km high. However, the book said that these kind of clouds brought heavy long rain which could last for days and weeks. The formation of this type of cloud required insane amount of chakra because of extremely fast circulation inside the cloud. However, there was a particular advantage of this cloud: it covered insanely huge area so it would be even difficult to escape from it.

The reading took him an hour or maybe two but at least he felt a bit better. His chakra restored a bit and, luckily, his knowledge about clouds had increased too. However, it was time to see how things work practically; Azu performed hand signs once again although he felt that his body behaved like a traitor; his fingers were quite stiff, his arms were heavy as well. Azuma also could hardly breathe but he continued performing jutsu. This time before releasing the chakra, he picked out a spot in the sky (around 2 km high) where he could possibly form a black cloud. As soon as he released the chakra from his body, the black cloud immediately started forming. However, in requited so much energy from the guy, but, luckily, he managed to form the cloud. Unfortunately, after the performance and formation of the cloud, a gentle rain appeared from the sky. However, Azuma was too tired; he fell on his knees and later his face bumped into the ground; he hardly breathed while sticky and slippery rain was falling on his tired body.

The same man who gave Azuma the advice was watching him. He played with a metal lighter between his fingers, smiling creepily. When he was sure that the kid was sleeping, he sparked the lighter and threw in on the ground. Everything started burning immediately: grass, leaves, and trees’ trunks. The flame was moving quite fast towards boy who was still calmly resting on the ground. But some unknown force made him open his eyes… Azu saw the graceful flames were getting closer but his body was too tired to move. Instead of waiting when the flames would eat him alive, Azuma looked around, searching for a water source or any cave. Luckily his efforts were successful; he saw a small lake nearby where he could wash the oil. He hardly stood up and slowly moved to the water source. He jumped there, but, unfortunately, the oil was floating on the surface so flames and no problem passing through water. How ironic… I’m water user and I’m forced to run from a fire Azu thought.

Tasting his own medicine did look like the best option but this time Azuma had no other choice. The guy at first tried to extinguish the flame around him, using the lake water but, sadly, he didn’t succeed. Luckily the rain stopped after a few minutes. The sun started shining again, the flames went to sleep. Everything looked so peaceful and silent again. The symphony of harmony was played in the background of “The Nature” movie. And somewhere on the surface of the lake, the tired body of the homey was slowly floating to nowhere. If you could look from above, you could see him smiling for no good reason.

After a few days, Azuma felt ready for the jutsu again. This time he found quite empty, with no life, place. There were plenty of caves which looked like dead eyes, looking at you. However, the guy chose one of the caves and stood there, like hiding from the coming storm. Actually, he was half right; only calm rain was about to appear. This time the mysterious guy closed his eyes, listening to the symphony of his chakra. The melody was peaceful, every note was string. Then his fingers started dancing the light dance, the chakra changed a bit with every single movement. Meanwhile black and thick mist emitted from the strangers body, rising to the sky. At first it looked as someone was burning tires but when the black cloud appeared – sad and lonely. It hardly could hold the tears; it greeted the empty ground with slimy drops.

Then suddenly the guy threw a flaming match on the ground; the yellow flames appeared, making the field look alive once again. It was Azu’s masterpiece – the rain from the sky; it was his masterpiece on the ground. And finally, he could safely watch how beautifully; no threat, no danger but, unfortunately, no control. The stranger also didn’t have control of his body; the dance of his fingers, the melody of the chakra, the painting called “Black cloud” cost too much chakra to the young boy. He was lying on the ground with no energy left, but the flames couldn’t reach him…

If this cave didn’t protect me, I’d probably be eaten by flames Azu thought. Even he lied on the cold ground and probably looked like a rotting corpse, actually the guy saved the energy for an experiment. Watching how the flames hungrily ate the oil from the sky, Azu formed a particular sequence of hand signs and formed a water bubble from the source of water in his cave. The heavy bubble slowly moved above the flames and loudly exploded, making that well known ‘poof’ sound. The flames hissed like unhappy snakes but they left a pretty nice spot for Azuma. Even when the oil filled the spot, it seemed that fire wasn’t willing to return.

Azuma took more rest and this time he repeated the combination of cloud jutsu. Even it was still raining, he performed the jutsu again. He wanted to know (oh, the feeling of cognition) what would happened if he performed the jutsut again while the black cloud is above his head. The result could be another cloud or the same cloud, absorbing the black mist out of his body. Well, he did the same jutsu ritual, as usual. When the transparent black mist appeared, but it seemed that the old cloud just absorbed the mist, gaining more energy from it. It means the rain lasts longer. It means even if the jutsu is about to end, there’s no gap because the second cloud isn’t created. And the water does help to weaken this jutsu… After all, this information will be useful.
