Karitori awoke to the nation's crying once more. He could hear it splashing about on his roof. He sat up in bed and yawned. Another nights work for him, he thought. He got out of bed and then put on his flak jacket and mask. He set out of the door, closed it behind him, and then continued to the path of the lake he used a while back. He would learn the hidden mist technique allowing him to become unseeable from almost everything except maybe a Byakugan user. He would use the sound release when he learned it to compliment the jutsu, allowing him a stealthy blow or even kill to his enemy. He broke through the clearing to the all familiar lake. It was almost like it was waiting for him there.

Karitori performed the hand seals and set to work. He concentrated on using his water release to try and evaporate the water into a cool mist. He implemented his chakra and moved it into the water so he could evaporate it. He was focusing as hard as he could but nothing was working on this water. It just swished about and then calmly set back into place. He tried once more but this time would just mold the chakra into the mist and then continue on with that. He formed the hand seals again and then allowed his chakra to flow from his body into the water from the lake. He used the water release second this time and then started to mold the water in the lake into mist. He could feel the water growing smaller and lighter. He opened his eyes and was extremely disappointed in the results.

There was some mist but only the size of his balled up fist in anger. He frowned and decided to put more chakra into it and see what happens. He performed the necessary hand seals again and activated the flow of chakra into the lake. He used his water release again and focused on giving the water even more chakra. The water began the molding process. The water was being split up into tiny pieces not even the size of salt. He felt the weight of the water diminish and become lighter. He opened his eyes again and was less disappointed but he thought it still needed more improvement if he was going to use the technique in a larger area.

This time the size of the mist grew bigger than his fist. However not much bigger. It grew to the size of a beach ball. Karitori was utterly displeased. He needed to focus way more. He needed his whole mind set on getting the size of the mist bigger. This time he would gather up a big amount of water and then mold it from there. He formed the hand seals once more and set his complete focus on the task ahead. He let his chakra flow into the water and completely envelope it. He activated the water release and started to mold the water. He closed his eyes and envisioned the water gradually changing from water to mist. He could feel it starting up and doing so. He commanded the water to change forms. The water diminished once more and started to mold into mist.

It hung in the air and floated about. It grew larger but not that much bigger. It was like the mist hated Karitori. It just would not bend to his will. He grew more disappointed as his eyes opened to some mist the size of a large sized tree. It was big, but not enought to fit the whole area. Once more, Karitori thought, just one more try and he would continue another time. Karitori gathered up all the water he could muster from the lake. He performed the hand seals and then sent his chakra flowing into the water suspended above him. Karitori closed his eyes again and then set his focus back on molding this water. He imagined the whole village of Amegakure being submerged in mist. It being all foggy and dense to where you couldn't see your hand stretched out in front of you. The water thinned out and spread out in the clearing. It broke up and mist was formed. The cool mist touched Karitori's skin. He opened his eyes and felt relief flood his entire being. Next time I'm going to try using the water in the air, he thought. With that he sat down and rested a bit in the fog.

Karitori woke again. This time it wasn't because of all the rain drops. This time it was because he was determined to get a jutsu done. A little bit ago he had attempted at a jutsu called the Hidden Mist Jutsu. He would try to use the atmospheric water this time and create mist and fog from that. Then later try his hand in learning the sound release. Karitori got up from his bed and walked towards his flak that he used earlier. He put it on and walked out into the cold crisp air. He breathed in the air heavenly and grinned. This time he would get a lot better at using this jutsu. There was no doubt about that at all, he thought. Karitori thought he would have to try and focus even more though. Creating mist from the air won't be easy. He walked out the door again and then closed it behind him.

Karitori walked along some random path. He stopped when he had thought he was tired of walking. He could be quite lazy at times. He stood straight and then performed the hand seals. He breathed in and used his water release to locate the water in the air and merge them together in order to make the water big enought to make mist. He allowed his chakra to flow through him and wash over him and then he started to mold it. He started to imagine the mist spreading out again and it thinning out just enough to cover the area. He opened his eyes and then witnessed the mist get as big as a beach ball once more. This was not surprising to him. He didn't expect to get I to the first try.

He tried once more when forming the hand seals. He focused again on the air forming up to make some mist. He would imagine the atmospheric water being molded into the mist by fusing them together. He focused as hard as he could on the molding. He then let his chakra flow throughout him again. He used it to help fuse the the water molecules together and create the mist. He would continue to focus on this until he felt he was ready to open his eyes. He did so and was a bit relieved. It had got bigger and spread out more. Almost to the size of his house. It hadn't done exactly what he wanted though. It had definitely not covered the whole area.

Karitori sighed and started to stretch a bit. He had to loosen up to help him out with this. He decided he would work with getting it foggier. He didn't want anyone to be able to see through the mist. This time he would dense it up a bit. He would create more mist with a heavier feel to it. He performed the hand seals and let the chakra course through his body. He let the molecules fuse together. He kept fusing all the water in the atmosphere all together to give it a heavier feel. He was going to make this mist foggy. He finished fusing them together so he added his chakra onto it to mold it into mist. It started to mold into the mist but this time it was indeed heavier.

He opened his eyes and he saw the house sized fog. He put his hands in it and much to his belief he couldn't see them. Now he would get it to grow bigger. Karitori performed the hand seals again and then activated the water release. He then fused the molecules continuously so as to gain more fog and density. Then he added the chakra too. It all flowed about so nicely. Karitori opened his eyes to pure white. It was so foggy he could barely see his own body. He smiled and walked backwards until he left the fog. Luckily he saw the road he used to get here. He walked back home for another day.

Karitori was standing in the middle of the door way with his right hand keeping him from falling over as he leaned on the door. This time he had to do the Hidden Mist technique again. It would take even more concentration this time. He would increase the speed of the jutsu when it spreads across the area he was in. This time he was sure he'd be able to nearly master the hidden art and then try once more to perfect it. Karitori walked out the door into the never ending rain. Karitori gets annoyed buy the depressing rain but it wasn't always bad. It was cold and it helped him think when focus was needed. He bound down the path he went to last time and ended up at his most recent training grounds.

Karitori breathed in heavily and then exhaled slowly. The cold air entered his lungs calming him down and keeping him focused. Karitori formed the hand seals again. He imagined all of the atmospheric water fusing together once again. He would mix up all the water molecules into mist. He activated his water release and did so. The water fused into each other causing it to make mist. He then focused on thinning out the mist by adding in chakra in order to spread it around and still keep it foggy and unseeable through the mist. He then added more to try and speed up the process. The mist was extremely sluggish, it just didn't want to go at all. Karitori sighed and released the mist. This would prove to be a bit harder then he had originally thought. He once more breathed in the cold air to help calm his nerves and keep him at a chill level.

Karitori again performed the necessary hand seals. He imagined the water once again forming together to create a mist and topping it off with chakra to spread it out. Seeing it in his mind greatly helped Karitori. He then activated the water release allowing it to gather up the necessary materials that needed to be bunched up together. He tried to forcibly push his chakra throughout his body to help spread and intensify the mist. Little chakra even did what it was supposed to. Karitori opened his eyes to a see through mist that didn't cover the area. He would try not to let the same mistake happen twice in a row. Forcing his chakra to do what he wanted was not a very good idea. He would just allow it to flow through at its own pace. With that he summoned the chakra from within himself allowing it to spread into the mist.

The mist surrounded the forest again and was pretty good this time. It wasn't see through and it dispersed quite well. Now he would once again focus on the speed of the dispersing. He performed the hand seals and quickly activated the water release after he thought about what was to come. He mixed all the water molecules he could and then guided his chakra into the mist this time. It would quickly disperse but wouldn't really keep the intensity of it. It was see through again and it annoyed Karitori immensely. He listened to the rain for a bit, soaking in the cold air as he was lost in his thoughts. He got up again waiting until some chakra came back to him so he could quickly use it up for another big show of mastery needed to complete the jutsu.

Karitori ran his hands through his pretty messy hair. He sighed and then started quickly forming the hand seals and then activating the water release. The water again formed all together to create the mist that shrouded the area once before. He stopped then looked deep inside of him for all the chakra he could muster from the brief rest he had earlier. He guided it a litter bit faster so as not to rush the chakra but to help it spread the mist. He used the left over chakra reserve to keep the intensity inside of the mist as it spread quickly and thoroughly. He hadn't stopped there though. He used the water release to keep most of the mist in the area as it spread so the mist would keep the foggy intensity even more than he already tried to. Karitori opened his eyes to a great spectacle. He had kept the intensity of the fog and spread it throughout the area rather quickly. Karitori was pleased. However all the chakra he used left him breathe less for a little while. He sat in the mist and rested for a while.

Karitori awoke in his house to the sound of rain once again. The rain was starting to annoy him. Only slightly though, it had its benefits as well. He stood up and dressed himself. He opened the door, looked back to see if he missed anything, then walked out. He continued down the ever so familiar path. The cold brisk air was surrounding him and he liked it. To add on to that the rain made it even better. The sensation of cold droplets hitting his skin repeatedly was quite nice. This was one of the benefits. He got to the forest previously marked after he sat down and rested before hand. He would try and perfect the jutsu this time. He could tell he didn't require much to do so. So he breathed in as much air as he could then exhaled slowly, calming his nerves. He was calm and concentrated which was essential.

Karitori would just practice with his jutsu this time. His motto was practice meant perfection. So he would use it this time for exactly that. He performed the necessary hand seals quickly guiding his chakra through his body. He then Activated the water release and allowed the water from the atmosphere to gather up and fuse together in a mist mold. The mist had finished
Being pressed together and then Karitori allowed his chakra to now enter the mist. He again activated the water release once more to keep the mist from spreading too far out and eventually making the water evaporate or disperse from the mist. Once he let his chakra enter the mist, it spread throughout the are covering it in a shrouding mist that was relatively cold itself. Another practice session and he thought he had got it down. He left the area to find the road again and went home.

When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release


Karitori opened up his doorway to cool brisk air that rushed into his house. He welcomed it with open eyes because today he would try the water clone jutsu. This jutsu allowed him to create replicas of himself and pass them off if the enemy had no form of bayakugan or sharingan. They wouldn't be able to see his chakra or nature. This is, however, must be done while concealed or it would defeat the purpose of having them. He may even use it as a distraction for another technique. He would then deal the "finishing" blow. He would see what he could do. Later he would try for the water prison technique. This would also be pretty useful. He looked down the road and preceded down the path to his earlier training grounds. He hoped he could skillfully master the water clone jutsu.

Karitori ended up in the forest that he trained his hidden mist skill at. He was pretty familiar with the area due to how many times he trained here so far. The hidden mist skill took him a while so he was there numerous times. Karitori snapped out of his thoughts and then put together the necessary hand seals. He used the atmoshphere again to make the clones due to no large water sources in the area. So he closed his eyes and activated the water release that pulled the water molecules together and basically mashed them together to form one huge blob of water. He concentrated on molding the water with his chakra. He guided it into the water slimming it down to how big karitori was. He then tried getting the shape of his head and body to form. Next he had to finish off with the legs and feet. He also had to replicate the clothes he had on and what colors were currently displayed around his body. He opened his eyes to a blob of water that had dark and light blue with hints of tan thrown about. It looked like someone massacred it. He was certainly displeased at his awful work.

Once more he had to work on the looks of the clone. It would serve useless if he couldn't even get the clones to look like him and distract his enemies. Since the whole purpose of him learning this jutsu was not to have the clones inflict much harm, but to keep an enemy occupied for a bit. Causing harm to the opponent would just be added bonus to the outcome of what he really wanted. Karitori performed the hand seals and focused his water release in pulling the molecules together again for another mass mashing of the water. The molecules fit together creating the water needed for such a feat. Karitori then put chakra from inside his core into the water, gently guiding it along the way. He used the chakra, molding the water once more into what he thought was a near perfect image of his being. He continued molding until he was satisfied that he had the look correct. He opened his eyes for the second time and was once more disappointed at the outcome. He had the shapes down but the detail and color was still amuck and just thrown anywhere but where they had to actually had to be. Karitori sighed heavily at his disappointment.

Karitori breathed the crispy cold air for refreshment and a brief cool down. It helped a lot the amegakure was home to cold air and a routine rain shower that held the coolness of the atmosphere. Now that karitori was sure he was ready for another go, he moved his hands accordingly to form the required hand seals. He activated his release again determined to have the water fuse together, for a more scientific word, in order to create the much needed water. His chakra dispersed from his core and flowed throughout his body. He guided it into the water hoping to once again mold the water. The chakra gracefully broke off bits and pieces of water creating details from his face. The way his eyes were shaped, how close his eyes were together and how big his nose was. It got down to the very details of his body. Karitori then added color to where he thought he had it. It wasn't an easy task trying to remember exactly where he had color in exactly which places. He again opened his eyes. His clone was much better now. It had everything correct except for the oh so essential color.

Now all Karitori had to do was get some color in the murky water. He released the previous clone as it was not perfected still. Color was probably one of the most important prospects of trying to make a clone. Without it all it would be was a walking mound of water looking almost exactly like you with the exception of no color. It wouldn't even fool a newly born baby without any knowledge of anything at all. That's how serious color was in a clone. Karitori examined his clothes and the color on it. He took off the mask he wore quite a lot. Almost everything was grey. His flak jacket and mask were gray. His pants and hair was black, along with the pale skin that was used to some seriously cold weather. His tannish sandals at the bottom of his feet being included as well. His eyes and such had to be thought of as well. The slits through his mask showed green eyes that changed color due to seasonal change. He would have to update his clone every once in a while. After he memorized this Karitori produced hand seals for the jutsu. The water release activated, fusing together the water. He the. Let his chakra flow into the water molding out the details of his body. Once this was finished he remembered the colors of his body, skillfully adding them accordingly to where they were supposed to be. Once finished he opened his eyes to a perfect clone. He tried getting it to move but as soon as it took a step it fell back to its original element. He would deal with that later. Karitori spun around and headed home.

Karitori awoke to the sound of the alarm he set for himself the night earlier. He was non stop training usually and he wasn't going to quit now. He had lots more to go. He heard the rain drops on the roof as he put on his flak jacket for another night in the rain. His jacket was drenched. He should probably get that dryer out tomorrow, he thought. He walked out the door to pursue another training night for his water clone technique. He hope the distractions would pay off. He didn't exactly know if he could create more than one clone after he learned the technique or if he had to keep doing the same thing for numerous clones. For now he would focus on just one clone, seeing how that was just hard enough all on its own. Last time he tried to get the clone to move but it just fell back to its original state. Tonight he would try to perfect this.

Karitori got to his familiar spot and noticed some puddles of water from the left behind pile of water from his clone the night before. He had to try getting his clones to actually be able to move its body and be able to run and walk. Later he would see if the clones could hold a weapon or perform techniques karitori learned. Like the hidden mist skill, since so far that was really the only water technique he had learned so far that was in the water release category. Karitori snapped out of his thoughts like the previous time and then formed some hand seals that were required. He fused the atmospheric water molecules creating the necessary water and then used his chakra skillfully to mold the water being together while placing color inside of it as well. Karitori kept the water release activated and tried to keep the water together as the clone moved his leg forward. All it did was again fall in the place it stood and turn back into water. This got Karitori annoyed and a bit agitated. He focused on the cool rain splashing around him to cool his anger down. Anger was not a very useful tool unless used to push yourself or used as an amplifier to skill. Well it didn't really amplify skill it more of made the person angry more aggressive and a bit more willing to take risks as well as pumping up your blood faster with adrenaline right behind it. Unless used correctly anger only hinders you.

Karitori cooled down and then tried once more. He formed hand seals and then activated the water release. It pulled together the water molecules in the air mashing it together for a blob of water. Soon as this was done and over with Karitori summoned his chakra from deep within himself and felt it course through his body into the water. It started breaking off water and forming the specific details of Karitori's body so as not to give away anything. He then added the much needed color into the murky water, another essential piece to the jutsu's puzzle. As the clone moved forward, Karitori added more chakra to the clone. He thought that it may not have had enough in order for the clone to stay upright and balanced. The clone took a few steps, then fumbled and got back up before it hit the ground. Karitori added some more chakra and then the clone got the walking pretty much down. Karitori was pleased, his creation could walk! Now he had to get it to run without it falling on him.

Karitori pushed the clone into trying to run. It walked a bit, then it gradually started to pick up the pace. The clone was fast walking at this point. As soon as it tried to take that step into jogging, it just collapsed on him. Karitori was speechless, he didn't know why it was this hard all for a clone. Maybe it had something to do with the water not correctly being fused together. He decided it wouldn't hurt just to check on it. He closed his eyes activating the water release. Karitori searched the water molecules and found out that they weren't really skillfully put together. Just mashing them together wouldn't work at all. He had to fit them together according to their shape or form of the water. These molecules looked like they were forced together. They had unnatural bends and shapes due to Karitori mashing them all up. It may have worked for the mist but it wasn't working with the clone. He would have to fix that.

Karitori clapped his hands together and formed the seals earlier performed. He activated the much needed water release soon after and gathered up the water molecules. He made sure of it this time that he fit the molecules together and didn't just mash them all up. The pieces fell into place as smoothly as a rehearsed puzzle piece game. They all connected up quite well and formed the water. Now it should be stable and ready to go. Karitori then added a good amount of chakra from himself while it elegantly flowed in. The water consumed the chakra like a black hole. Karitori cut it off from his chakra supply and then molded the water into a perfect example of himself, adding details and color. He willed the clone to walk at a normal pace then gradually get faster. The clone did so, stumbled once and then got into a jog without a problem. Now he made it run. It sped up even more running at full speed. Every once in a while it would stumble then quickly regain control over its self. Finally it hit max speed with its arms in a v formation behind his back, staying low. Karitoro smiled and sat down. He had to rest a while then go home. He had to see whether or not clones could perform techniques and if they could carry weapons. Whether it be made from the water thatade them, or actual ones.

Karitori was up drinking coffee. He didn't like the taste much but it helped a great deal in keeping him awake. Now tea was terrible, Karitori just couldn't drink the crap. It tasted terrible to him and on top of that it made him sleepy beyond belief. Karitori got up from the rectangle table he was sitting in. He walked towards the counter and set down his coffee mug. He turned around and grabbed his flak jacket off of his coat rack. He headed out the door and then formed some hand seals as rain drops hit his body continuously. The rain water fused together fitting into one another like a puzzle piece. He then added chakra into the water for molding the specifics of Karitori. He then added color onto the molded body and opened his eyes. His clone was made and ready. Karitori started to walk and the clone was close behind. Karitori spoke to the clone, "So, today I'm going I'm going to see if you can wield weapons and use a technique I, or we, learned a while back." The clone never responded back and just stared at him.

Karitori waited for it to respond for a bit more, but none came. Karitori wondered why for a bit and then realized, he hadn't taught it to speak. It was like teaching a baby. He couldn't believe it, he was having to baby sit his own creation. He really had to think of the absolute basics with this one. Karitori and his clone made it to the clearing and got ready to rumble. Well in this case, teaching basic grammar. Karitori said, "Repeat after me, t-h-e n-a-m-e'-s K-a-r-i-t-o-r-i." The clone moved its mouth and said, "K-ow-ret-o-r-i." "No no no you got it wrong. Say it with me, Karitori." The clone responded back with, "Karitori." "There we go!" The clone paused and everything flooded his mind. The grammar, all of it. The clone grabbed his head and said, "Ow. Haha." It got up and staggered a bit. Karitori guessed teaching a clone speech was part of the ride.

He then handed the clone one of his kunai. It looked at the kunai blankly and then brought the pointed end of it extremely close to its eye. It took a few steps backwards and fell. The kunai sunk straight into the clones skull. It quickly turned right back into water and splashed onto the forest floor. These clones proved to be so clumsy. Karitori performed the hand seals again and then activated the water release. The water molecules from the atmosphere were fitted together once more to stabalize the clone. He then added chakra to mold the water into a perfect clone once more. The color was added into it and once it was made Karitori said, "Try not to kill yourself like the last clone." The clone nodded and Karitori gave the clone the previous kunai.

The clone took the kunai and waved it around a bit. Karitori explained that the kunai was used as a weapon to either defend or attack against enemies. He showed the clone how to slash and lunge with the kunai. He showed it ways to counter attack with it and do some damage with it as well. The clone followed Karitori's instructions and swung the kunai around for a while trying to get down techniques that allowed him to effectively block and attack enemies. Karitori finally thought it was ready for something bigger and badder. He let it use his scythe. Now Karitori didn't know any techniques or stances for this weapon but he did show the clone how to properly handle it without harming itself accidentally. The clone swung it around, a couple of times nearly chopping Karitori into pieces, cutting into the trees.

Now Karitori had to teach this clone some jutsu. It would probably take some time due to the clone not even knowing how to use its chakra that was used to make it. So Karitori showed the clone the hand seals that were needed in order to initiate the Hidden Mist Technique. The clone repeated what Karitori showed him. Then Karitori explained how the clone had to activate the water release, using it to mold the atmospheric water into mist. Then he explained how the clone needed to use its chakra to spread and keep the intensity of the mist. The clone closed its eyes and then tried to go off of what he heard from Karitori. It performed the hand seals and started to squint almost. Then mist started to form. It grew and grew then spread out. Soon the whole area was covered in mist that was barely visible through. Karitori released his clone and left the mist behind as he walked home for a job well done.

Karitori got out of bed and remembered his success with his water clone jutsu. He got it to speak and effectively use two different types of weapons. One was a small kunai and another was a relatively large scythe, that if not used correctly, could harm the clone itself. This happened when one of the clones held the pointed end of the kunai to his eyes and fell back. He got it fixed though, so everything ended up all right. Karitori then grabbed his flak jacket again and opened the door to the outside. He closed it behind him and entered the land of rain, really the only village Karitori personally liked at the moment. Maybe some day he would travel to another village. With that he traveled down the road to the forest for another days work. This time he was learning the sound release. He'd combine it with the use of the Hidden Mist Technique. He'd learn sonar and a few other sound release moves. Primarily to confuse and locate the enemy.

Karitori found the old forest full of luscious trees that grew quite tall. Tree branches loomed everywhere from about 8 feet up in the air. It was green and brown colors splashed everywhere. Well, he thought, time to break the peace. Karitori drew in a deep breathe and screamed at the top of his lungs. He pictured himself sending out some seriously high pitches sound waves. He could see glass shattering out of no where. However, this was not the case at all. It looked more like a ninja venting his anger and screaming like he was crazy. It also sounded pretty bad if you we're close enough to hear it. Karitori acknowledged this though, him being had at singing wasn't anything new. This time Karitori tried to scream at a higher pitch. He sounded just like a little girl who didn't get the things she wanted. It was a bit higher pitched but it wasn't nearly as much as he wanted. It was pretty disappointing. Soon he got an idea, he would focus chakra into his vocal chords while he spoke or screamed and work off of that. He was pretty beat though, screaming at the top of your lungs really did suck the energy out of you.

Karitori took a deep breathe and then screamed, he also guided his chakra through his body until it reached his throat and vocal chords. He felt the pitch of his scream gradually grow higher and higher until it felt like a piece of hair got stuck in his throat. Karitori started coughing violently trying to get the imaginary piece of hair out from his throat. This continued for a while until the piece of hair magically disappeared. Karitori grabbed his throat and rubbed it a bit. It was going to be harder than he originally thought. Karitori took another deep breathe and screamed once more. He summoned his chakra to flow throughout his body until it reached his throat and vocal chords. The pitch of the scream grew higher and higher. Karitori felt the hair come back and resisted nearly choking himself to death once more. It was hard but he did it, the pitch grew high and steady. I didn't falter anymore like he thought it would. Now it was time to increase the volume of his scream.

Karitori would do the same as he did before, getting the flow of his chakra into his vocal chords. This time though, he would use it to increase the volume of his scream. It wouldn't be used for pitch at all. Karitori breathed in and out then yelled this time. He used his chakra once it hit his vocal chords to try and amplify the level of volume he had. His voice got a bit louder until the deadly magic hair came back. Karitori grabbed at his neck and coughed multiple times while trying to breathe in between the process. He finally gained control over himself and his breathing. He crouched down with his hands on his knees. He had to get used to the vocal chord use or he'd kill himself all because of him wanting a useful technique. Karitori tried to pick up the volume of his yelling but the same thing happened. So he sat down thinking of ways to fix it. The only logical thing he could think of was adding more chakra to suppress the itchy feeling when he tries to use the sound release.

Karitori breathed in and out slowly. When he thought he was ready he let out another yell. He directed his chakra flow into his vocal chords again for another volume amplifier. He continued to yell as it gradually got louder and louder. Soon birds and animals left their homes due to fear. Karitori pushed for more, he added chakra and let his voice grow louder. It was like a stereo on steroids. Karitori couldn't believe he was doing it. This time no scratchy feeling formed in his throat and he hadn't died which was definitely a plus to all this. Still more had to be done before he actually mastered the sound release. Next he would mos likely try to damage a dummy with his yelling/scream fit. After that he would probably make himself noiseless and amplify noises he makes. Could try to create some sound waves as well, depending on what he felt like. With that he walked towards home for some rest.

Karitori got out of the chair he was currently resting in. He had finally got back his chakra he lost when screaming at the top of his lungs. He had learned that screaming put quite a toll onto his vocal chords and he didn't like it much. This time he would rather try to make any noise he made soundless. Like the crunching of leaves and his footsteps as well. This would prove useful when in stealth mode. He rather liked the idea of silent killing. You analyze the situation then use something for cover. For example the mist technique he learned prior to this. He may even incorporate clones to occupy the enemy and then use the sound release to suppress the noise he made. He would then either restrain the target to make sure they didn't get away or he'd just use his scythe to take them down. Soon he would have to learn some techniques for that as well or it would prove itself as useless. And Karitori didn't like being of no use to someone or having someone or something be of no use as well.

Karitori left his building anxious to get this technique out of the way. This release would help if he was impaired in sight. He was mostly looking forward to the move called sonar. Karitori ended up back in the forest. Karitori picked up a leaf and tore it apart. He listened to the sound it made and how much volume it made as well. He soon picked up another leaf, but this time he set the course of his chakra flow into the leaf. He started to tear the leaf in half, it was silent up until the last few seconds of him tearing up the leaf. More chakra was needed to sustain the silence Karitori desperately needed. Karitori picked up another leaf for his experiments. He kept the course of the chakra flowing straight into the leaf. He started to tear it in half slowly, keeping the volume suppressed and unheard. He continued pulling the two halves of the leaf trying to keep the sound from breaking his chakra's grasp on it. He got all the way through and no sound was heard from the leaf. Karitori smiled and decided to go bigger.

Karitori picked up a fairly large stick from off the forest floor. The only reason why a stick like that was found was because he was near a large tree as well. When he picked it up he used his chakra and made it flow through his hands into the stick. He could feel the chakra flowing through the stick. He put the stick on his knee, pushing force onto it with enough pressure to slowly splinter it. The splintering could be heard fairly well. More needed to be able to suppress larger object's sounds. So basically the larger the item was the more it required to be suppressed. Karitori picked up another stick for more training on the subject. He added chakra into it hoping he could keep sound from coming out of the stick this time. The chakra flowed through the stick keeping sound suppressed. He started to break the stick in half slowly. No sound was audible as the stick splintered apart. Great, he thought, now on to something a bit higher pitched.

Karitori pulled out one of his kunai which was in his butt bag on his lower right leg. He found a rather good sized rock in the ground. He took out his kunai and placed the sharp end on the rock. He channeled chakra from his core into the kunai hoping to keep sound suppressed once more. He scraped the kunai across the flat surface of the rock. The screeching could be heard a bit and grew louder the more he scraped it. Instead of silencing the movement he had made it louder. Karitori tried once more placing the kunai on the rock again. He guided the flow of his chakra into the kunai trying again to suppress the volume of the noise, all together just having no noise at all. He pulled the kunai across the rock with no noise at all. He smiled and was pretty satisfied himself. He was able to keep the noises he made suppressed constantly.

Now Karitori was going to swing an even bigger stick at a tree. He would create as much force against the stick as he possibly could. The noise would be pretty hard to keep down because of him using enormous force. He needed the challenge though. Without challenges you don't work hard, not working hard will get you no where in the shinobi world. It was a cruel world out there. Karitori walked around the trees looking for a large stick. When he finally found one big enough he picked it up and weighed it in his hands to see how fast and hard he had to swing it. He held it slanted behind him just like a baseball bat. He swung with immense force, hitting the tree and splintering. When it connected there was no noise for like 2 seconds. Then the sound escaped. It was like a delayed crack, almost like Karitori hit it a second time with the first producing no sound at all. Karitori once more, found a stick. He picked it up and got into a batter's position again. He swung and just before it hit, he added a good deal of chakra. When it connected no sound emitted a response. He waited a bit longer, but again no response. Karitori dropped the stick and headed home.

Karitori awoke from his sleep. In his dreams he dreamt of hiding in the his hidden mist technique, killing enemy after enemy with his soon to be mastered sound release. He would locate them and then skillfully cut them down in a matter of seconds. Only problem was one shinobi. This shinobi seemed to be able to counter his every move, able to pick up the slightest movement in his body. In the end he still triumphed though. That's the good thing about dream shinobi, they present a big enough resistance but you still manage to win somehow. The odds were stacked against him but he still managed to kill every last ninja standing in his way. In the case of the real world, he would have died. That's why Karitori liked dreams, they made him feel superior to everything inside of them. He put on his flak jacket and walked out the door for some nice and cold air. It always helped him focus on the task ahead. He went around the back of his house and grabbed his training dummy. It would prove useful for today's training. It was made out of nothing but wood. He placed it over his shoulders and started dragging the dummy down the road.

As he entered his recently favorite spot, he placed down the dummy in an upright position, getting it set to go when he decided he was going to train. He had to rest a bit because dragging that dummy for a while had him beat. Soon he was all rested up and got back on his feet. He breathed in a bit then let out a scream aimed at the dummy. It just stood up straight like nothing happened just then. Karitori wasn't surprised by this, he knew it needed more he was just warming up for now. Karitori screamed again for a longer time, he then gradually brung the pitch up higher. Practice helped in mastering a technique. His voice became higher and higher, not stopping to rest he kept going. He almost had it to the point of hurting his ears but he ran out of breathe. You can't yell forever, this time it put less of a strain on his throat. He again tried directing his chakra into his vocal chords and keeping the pitch high and in one spot. It was a bit rough on his vocal chords but he managed to pull it off. The pitch stayed relatively high at a constant rate. Karitori finished and wrapped his hands on his throat. The continuous strain on his throat was a bit harsh.

Karitori rested a while because of his throat. This training was a little rough on his throat but he would still push on through. This time he would try and raise the volume of his sound. He didn't know how he could incorporate it into battle, but he was sure it helped in some way, shape, or form. He drew in a deep breathe and then started to yell instead. He thought the differences in yelling and screaming was the pitch, so he yelled this time instead. He focused the point of chakra in his body to flow into his vocal chords again. He let out the air in his lungs and out came the yell. Right now it was just a normal yell, nothing so special. He then added more chakra and it grew a bit louder in comparison to his first one. He then added more and yelled again, the volume grew louder and this itchy feeling hit his throat. He started to cough and choke on nothing but air. Well I guessed right, he thought, I still have some training to do. He sat down and rested his lungs and his throat for a bit.

Karitori got up from his little rest. He had some more training to go before he could truly master the sound release. It would drastically help him when using stealth to take out an opponent. Maybe he could even take out more than one opponent. It depended all on his skills though. So he would have to train and find out later. Now was the time to make sure he had the sound all the way down. He did find some quirks but he felt that he was quite close to mastering the sound release. Karitori walked around trying to find himself a stick. When he finally found one he picked it up and positioned himself along the side of a tree. He pulled up his stick and swung it across the tree. The stick made no noise for 5 seconds then a crack came. Karitori tried once more. He swung across the tree then applied chakra on contact. There was no sound. Then he pulled out a kunai and searched for a rock. Once he found one he touched the pointed end of the kunai on the rock and scraped it across the rock. While he did that he applied more chakra to suppress the sound. When nothing came out he smiled and set the kunai back into his butt bag.

Karitori thought of ways he could damage the dummy that was unused until now. He would probably use the pitch to decide on how far the sound release would damage the dummy. He would let his chakra flow throughout his body until it hit his vocal chords. When he decided he would scream, he would apply chakra to his vocal chords as well which would create sound waves of destruction. It would tear up, slice, and cut into the wood of the dummy. Karitori drew in a deep breathe and screamed at the top of his lungs. He let chakra flow through his body ending up at its destination, the vocal chords. However, he applied the chakra too late. The sound release didn't much. It just sent the volume of his scream higher, which wasn't what he was looking for. Karitori drew in another breathe and exhaled. He once again deeply breathed inwards and screamed, he guided his chakra flow into his vocal chords and applied chakra right on time. The pitch of the scream rose higher. He could feel it leaving his body and being hurled at the dummy he was pointed at. The dummy stood still for a bit and then long cuts suddenly appeared on it. Loud thuds were heard. Karitori imagined sonic waves hitting the dummy and producing slice marks in it.
