Suiton: Chiisaimizubakahatsu (Tiny Water Explosion)
Rank: “D”
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a small wave of water that rushes towards an opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: N/A
Description: The user performs the handseals described in special. There, they release chakra into the water and send a small tidal wave (about five feet tall) towards the opponent. The water moves at a speed of about ten miles per hour, so a direct hit from the water can be painful, but not life-threatening.
Limit: Water Release

After having returned to the village hidden in the grass, Michi found himself without having much to do.  The world around him moved in a slow dull manner and he yawned as he thought, "My mission just such a short time ago nearly got me killed.  I think I need to do some training to increase my survivability or else I may not come back."  He thought about his foster mother and how she might view this and realized he did not want to disappoint her.

Therefore, he found himself a small stream near the grove he lived by and decided that he was going to train himself in water jutsus today.  Water jutsus, as far as he remembered from his courses, were going to be helpful because everything needed water to survive.  The only issue was whether or not he was able to think of a good one to teach himself and if it was something that was going to help him in the long run.

He focused back on his academy days and remembered one day when a teacher had taught them something called the Tiny Water Explosion.  This technique, if he remembered correctly had the ability to make a small wave capable of dousing fires and explosions, but most importantly had the ability to knock someone back.  Scratching his head for a moment, a small frown crept up onto his face as he clasped his hands together and tried to form hand seals while standing in front of the stream.  He released his chakra into the stream but only found that when he did so that the water bubbled up to the surface and made ripples.

He made himself exude more chakra from his body and this time the ripples got bigger and sloshed around a bit.  Yet they were still not forming any waves. He needed even more power to make the water move properly in the stream and increased his chakra usage to the point of having to use about thirty percent or so to make a simple, small wave.  It sloshed forward at a speed of three miles per hour before splashing down on the opposite side of the stream bank.  This water then receded back into the stream and he panted trying to catch his breathe.

"This is a lot of work," he noted to himself aloud.  "Will I have to use fifty percent or more of my own energy just to make the kind of wave I want?"  He knew from his lessons that in order to create a proper Tiny Water Explosion the wave had to be around five feet high and reach a maximum velocity of ten miles per hour.  His current wave though, from what he was able to see, was only two feet tall and capable of only going three miles per hour.  The reason he knew this information though was that he had been the live test dummy during the class for this technique and as a result had gotten pushed around in a swimming pool by the teacher's waves.

The results of this practice session had nearly drowned him and caused him to shutter as he thought back to how a student had to go and pull him out of the water because he could not swim then.  It had not been fun, however, he could now swim a little better; although, not by much.  He refocused his efforts though and for the next hour continued to grow his wave until it reached four feet high and was able to to go a total of nine miles per hour.  At this point, the water was capable of back lashing at him and because he was not used to the technique yet he found himself quickly drenched in stream water.

Continuing his work though, the young man eventually was able to reach the point of making a five foot wave with a ten mile per hour speed setting in the next two hours.  His eyes sparkled as he formed his hand seals for this completed technique and launched the tidal wave from the stream.  This wave splashed up onto the other river bank, knocked into a tree across the way, shook it to the core so that it would fall over, and then flowed back into the stream again where the gentle waters switched direction and came back at him.

"Darn," he uttered as his face was splashed.  The technique was still not perfect, but with actual battle experience he was sure it could be of use in the future

Michi Kaito was tired from his workout with the water technique, so after drying off in the sun he got up and left the stream to head back to the Kusakage's Castle. It was time to get a new mission maybe, one that was less hard then his last one.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. 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

A quiet stream by the wayside, tucked behind some of the many lower estates of Kusagakure seemed to be the ideal place for one to catch up on some Suiton ninjutsu. Genpaku had seen the location several times prior in scouting out some rather secluded areas within the village gates that he could use for his own personal purposes. After lunch with Magoichi, he came here with the goal of learning an above-average ninjutsu, the Water Clone jutsu. He approached the stream bed with his hands inside his pockets as his eyes peered into the liquid mass.

Performing water ninjutsu was not a hard task to complete as long as one had the water source needed to complete it; however, it was a hard operation, it seemed, to be able to create a water clone in one's exact likeness, given the amount of manipulation and control it would take to hold the humanoid form of the caster. Genpaku thought about these things as he gazed at his own reflection on the water's surface. Although he didn't seek perfection in creating the clone, he would need it to be able to perform mundane tasks like basic movement, some fighting ability and even the use of ninjutsu , if they were even capable at all of such a feat. His thoughts on chakra manipulation caused him to delve into regions of critiquing his own being as he looked upon his reflection; likewise, thoughts of control caused him to wonder about the tangibility and structure of the water clone. After ten minutes of heavy concentration on the matter of water manipulation and control, he removed his hands from his pockets and began to prompt the medium.

The handseals that he performed, he did them so in a quick manner. Once he got to the final seal, that of the Tiger, he held it, thus allowing the jutsu to come to fruition as his chakra began to ebb from his body towards the liquid source that he had selected to subdue. During this time, his focus was on just creating a clone - just on the basic form of the thing. As his chakras began to resonate with the element, his mental efforts had been paid off: the water began to rise at first in a pillar before spreading out and changing its composition to that of a male human. Gen did not smirk nor did he seem impressed. His thoughts had only been proved right by the thing that stood above the water before him. That was the chakra manipulation part of the process, he quickly moved to the control aspects as the aqueous form began to morph and look fully human. 

The Mizu Bunshin he had created was hardly of his likeness. It lacked hair and clothing, but it did have his face and, although grossly, his body structure. Things ran through Genpaku's head like attire, will, and overall essence. He wanted the water bunshin to become him. But this first attempt would be used solely as a model. The Seitetsu teen held his focus and released the seal. He moved his arms out away from his body, prompting the water clone, via mental effort, to perform the same movement. He took a step forward, it did too. While his chakra control, at the time, did not seem great enough to make this single clone appear in his likeness, it did allow him to get a better grasp of the situation and ninjutsu, which would allow him to transition to this stage and beyond at a later time. He grew bored of the thing and smacked it in its face. 

"You look nothing like me," he said as the corporeal aesthetics wore off of the clone, reverting it back to an aqueous looking humanoid before it settled back into the stream from which it came, as ripples vibrated over the surface. Genpaku had had enough of the technique for today. He would return tomorrow to further investigate the means in which to create a fully functioning and look alike bunshin.

Fair enough.

First paragraph is to establish the setting and the intent. Important, but not critical to the training. So that contributes no points.

Second paragraph is focused on the mentality of your character in regards to the clone jutsu. This is very important, because you need to identify the substance you're using and the features of your own self.

Third is for chakra manipulation, a vital part in all ninjutsu. Very well described.

Good form for an incomplete clone. Some focus on your manipulation of the ninjutsu.

First and last not included, the quantity of training is just about right on the dot. I doubt anyone could get away with two sentences less.

Genpaku would return to the stream on the following day around noon. He was sure to settle this understanding of the Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu once and for all. As with the day prior, he would stand in front of the stream and look down upon the glassy surface as he studied his reflection on the waves.

It took more than mental efficiency to bring forth his desires in the physical. Studying his own visage would not allow him to create the perfection he sought in his bunshins, but it wasn't a farcry from what he was looking for. Gen's hands slowly performed the required kata for the Suiton jutsu as chakra began to fluctuate outward from his body towards the watery medium he would use for this replication technique. This time, two pillars had been created before leveling out to form makeshift versions of the man. One had appeared to be better built--the one from yesterday--than it's water twin. Genpaku squinted his eyes, noting how much better the first one had appeared in comparison to yesterday's attempt; he also noted how the second clone reminded him on the one he had created yesterday - it lacked hair and its body was much more paunchy than his own. His distaste could be noted as he spat on the ground.

With control, he, again, willed the creations to move. He would punch the air, causing them both to repeat the same step. When he, however, lifted his leg to kick, the heavier set water clone could not lift its leg high enough, resulting in the disequilibrium  of chakra flowing through its being, causing it to cave in on itself and revert back to its aqueous form. From this, Gen gathered that the clones must indeed be him in every aspect. Small things like physical characteristics could cause the bunshin to not function properly, thus resulting in replication failure. He was glad that he chose to practice this technique in seclusion, otherwise someone might have laughed at his error. The remaining clone stood above water, still, before Genpaku ordered it to run down the stream.

His control was still held innately, thus allowing the bunshin to walk upon water at first, before turning up its speed to break out into a full run. Apparently, the thing had to learn basic motor functions before it could perform at its highest level of potential. Genpaku was interested in just how much mental efficiency turned into physical results as the clone broke away from him. It was independent, yet it still required his energy and therefore, his will to function. Wishing to test the boundaries of the connexion between he and it, Genpaku ordered for it to jump out of the stream and flee away from him as quickly as possible. He was surprised, but still unmoved by what occurred next.

There had apparently been a restriction of distance allowed between he and his replica. After about six or so meters, the composition of the Mizu Bunshin deteriorated back into basic water as it splashed into the ground below it. Gen had at first thought he had overworked the bunshin; he soon realized that his levels of control and manipulation had not faltered, and that it was the distance that had separated the technique. 

With this tad bit of information gathered from field practice, Genpaku set out to do more handseals. He would require more clones.

Three Water Clones sprang to life from the depths of the stream as Genpaku studied the trio. He was annoyed by how quickly the distribution of chakra to three bunshin caused him to take a knee; he was further annoyed by how the more bunshin he seemed to make, the more they stopped looking to appear as he. He knew then that it took an even higher level of chakra control than what he was currently offering to maintain perfection in a mass amount of bunshin. He shrugged, not caring, either way; he would only create, perhaps, one or two of them in combat at a time anyway. He was close to creating the second bunshin in his likeness from his efforts prior, and the first had appeared exactly as he. However when it came to creating three replications, they all seemed to lack a majority of corporeal aspects.

An idea suddenly came to Genpaku. He prompted the trio to merge into one being, one bunshin and then decided to work from there. As the three became one thing, he was surprised at how sufficient the jutsu still held and at how the guise of the thing came together in one unit to be made in his exact likeness. It even appeared to be mean mugging him, which made him smile a bit. He wanted to smack the clone and dispel it for its rebellious looking countenance, but chose to move against such antics. He was the master; he, its creator. Had Genpaku known how to utilize more Suiton ninjutsu, he would try to get the clone to perform one. With a shrug, he suggested to the clone to battle him in physical combat.

It wasn't much of a toll on Genpaku to maintain the water clone's physical body as he sought to test its resilience. The two squared off, both in the same stance as the clone lunged toward its master. Genpaku would duck and roll to his left, wishing to not attack the clone just yet, but to test its capabilities, its reflexes, its resolve. It would take more than looking like Seitetsu Genpaku to be considered Seitetsu Genpaku; the clone had every aspect of its original and Gen noticed that in the way it had attacked. Before he could properly counter, the clone was upon him, delivering a vicious kick to the chin that sent the true Iron Leg skidding backwards near the edge of the stream. He looked back at his own reflection upon the water's surface and smiled as blood trickled down his lip. This had been the water replica he was looking for. 

The bunshin stood back as Genpaku gathered himself in a stance. If, by chance, someone was watching this fight, they wouldn't be able to tell the real from the fake. The sun hid behind thick clouds as the overcast darkened the battle field. Once it noticed that its master seemed ready, the clone rushed forward in a zig-zagging haste, one of Genpaku's personal favorite means of advancement. A vicious kick was aimed toward Gen's left temple as the bunshin jumped and lashed out its right leg; immediately, Genpaku slipped underneath the blow, causing the bunshin some confusion as its body began to waver. It had been hit in the chest upon landing, Genpaku's fist sticking through the thing's chest as it looked down at the wound, then back up at the original.

"You may look, move and act like me," Genpaku said as he removed his fist from the watery clone, "But I am the real me - your body is made up of water, my own of steel. You have proven much to me today, my bunshin. Goodbye for now." Instantly, the clone's body turned aqueous before it spilled down into the soil beneath its feet. Genpaku wiped his lip of blood as he gathered himself to leave. He had lost track of time during his training, but it had grown somewhat late in the afternoon. He would be headed towards Magoichi's place to cook up something quick to eat.

Just realized how unclear the limit of the water clone is. I wonder what would be a fair distance. Under ten meters might be the right number, hm.

Ah yes, the bulk of these two is training. The return paragraph and exit paragraph are just about the only parts that don't count towards technique effort.

Pretty standard, what you would expect from mastering a clone jutsu. Improving until the appearance matches up, then increasing the amount.

Found it funny how he's having a mental stand off with the clone before engaging in a fight. Would be a scary situation if your character wasn't in complete control, heh.

Walking ahead of the trio, Genpaku reached the stream that he had came to in time of seclusion. It didn't bother him that he had shown his hidden training ground to potential others who could be on his team, he would enjoy learning about his comrades and testing out his ninjutsu on actual people. As he stood near the stream, Gen began to stretch his legs by bending over -- legs straight -- to flex his leg muscles like Magoichi had taught him. Quickly following that initial warm up, he started to lift his legs into the air, as far as he could and stretch outwardly towards the white heavens. His method of stretching was to make him more lithe in movement, despite his hardy frame.

After his small warm up, Genpaku placed several swift kicks into the air with a single leg. The balance that he possessed came from a hardened leg; had the other two people present seen his Body Art skill, they would have been impressed by the speed of his kicks. With his hands in his pockets, trying to balance a pebble onto his foot, Tetsune called toward the others:

"This is the place where I come to brush up on my techniques, mainly Water Style ninjutsu..." After he had kicked the stone into the stream, Gen began to tap his foot on to the ground slowly at a controlled pace; he then began to stamp it quickly, causing snow that gathered near the stream's edge to splash out wildly. Returning to a cool stance, Gen seemed unfazed by what had just occurred, his hands resting deep in the folds of respective pockets.

Reuka Followed the boy into his training area. And Dee soon arrived as well, Reuka set down her Violin on the side of the river bank. She was about ten meters from Tetsune, and Reuka noticed dee had changed clothing as well. And also now packed a crossbow, and interesting weapon for a Ninja. But who was she to judge people. Reuka turned her attention to Tetsune and watched the new boy by the stream, Stretching and working with the water. It was clear to the Blind girl that this boy’s legs where something she wanted to Avoid being hit by. They were much more powerful than most. But did not pose much of a threat to her.

Dee posed a question to the boy, and Reuka smiled a little. It was a valid question, why where they needed if he was going to do solitary Training. She turned her back on the pair of ninja’s. keeping an ever watch on them with tremor sense. And took off her medical coat, it was bulky and would get in her way if she needed to move quickly. With the coat removed, backpack was clearly visible now. The black puppet with red spirals, and a giant blue eye painted in the middle. Reuka still had the Puppet under her control with her left hand, and she released its legs. There was a small popping sound as the puppet’s joints came to life, and it jumped off her back. It did not stay mobile for log, it settled into the ground just behind Reuka giving her a dry place to sit was observe the events about to unfold. She turned and sat on Backpack, turning her blank gaze back to the Pair talking.

Still in his laid back stance, Genpaku began to study the body of D as she approached him. The kunoichi brought with her a small crossbow and ammunition. The expert chef also began to go over her new getup: a robe that tucked her physical features away in folds. Gen's gaze dropped as soon as she began to speak. He replied thus, smilingly:

"Well, you are right.." he eyes shifted into a soft leer; as Reuka approached he continued, "I'd like to see you train a technique, and I will as well." Towards the now present Iryonin, Gen  turned his gaze.

Turning her back, Reuka pulled away her bulking lab coat, to reveal her true form. He saw the red tie that hung at her neck, and could almost catch the sight of a small black item.. Gen wondered what that was. It was apparent that this female loved red. Her entire outfit had been comprised of the color. The Seitetsu teen snickered low to himself as he now knew just how high her leg boots ran. Snow fell harmlessly upon her frame as she continued to remove her equipment.

Quite surprised at what the woman had had on her back, Tetsune took a double take -- it had been a puppet! The weapon had the same color fashion as its owner and boasted a tremendously large blue eyeball in its center. Legs sprang forth from the thing as Reuka moved her left hand -- Genpaku thought it to be her dominant. Hearing several clicks, the thing animated and hopped off of her back. The male tried his best to keep his composure, yet he could not help it.

"What the fuck is thaaat!" he had shown interest in it, something new that he had never seen before.

Reuka’s Smiled intensified at the boy’s words, That was an interesting reaction. the Girl thought to herself. She also noticed the boy spending an awful lot of time looking at her. but she shrugged it off. and returned to the question at hand.” This is Backpack, Or so I have named it. It is one of my defensive options if I’m attack. It has a built in shield which can take quite a beating. I have also made it to have minor Offensive capabilities. the girl said as she made a slight move of her hand. And the puppets Twin hidden Arms Launched out of the puppet on either side of her. Both containing a small three fingered hand, with a hole in the middle which was connected to the Kuni launchers in each arm. The fingers of the puppet would then retract and the barrel of the launchers would Extend from its palms.

”But I fear that I may need to upgrade its fire power for it to truly be effective. But I have not found the time to do so unfortunately. So….. are u guy’s sparing or not? the girl asked slightly tilting her head to the right. Not that Reuka cared either way, she was here for info on the other two.

Having quickly regained his composure, Genpaku watched as Reuka began to display more of her puppet's physical traits. Upon her inquiry, he simply nodded before turning to D.

"Right.." he said as he flexed his fingers into seals.

The water that had been in the stream was not frozen, yet it had been stagnant. Small layers of ice formed at the top of the stream at most places, yet one could use manipulate the water that was beneath its surface. After a series of six hand seals, Genpaku slammed his hands together as chakra began to vibrate forth from his being; the water within the icy stream immediately started to bubble forth, resonating with his spirit. The technique that he had used was the Netou Jutsu, which then caused the liquid to boil and evaporate into steam and mists. This was the medium that Genpaku would use in learning a new technique.

As the steam began to rise, Gen performed another set of kata. Manipulating the free-form gas would not prove to be too difficult, as it still had water molecules within it. Once his spiritual pressure began to take hold of the mists, he began to form and control it down into the likeness of a human. This Oboro Bunshin would mimic his previous efforts here at the stream while learning the Suiton Bunshin -- yet the two kunoichi did not know this. Apparently Genpaku had a thing for clones.

There were a number of things that Gen could do with this clone that he was creating: as with the Water Clone, he began to stockpile the gas on to itself, further increasing the size and appearance of the creation. It seemed that his manipulation over water was only strengthened from his prior efforts, as this Mist Bunshin came out looking exactly as he himself. The technique was far from being mastered, however, as soon after he created it, a great wind came in and blew the thing apart. Genpaku noted just how feeble these clones were in comparison to the water ones. He began to think on other ways to use them as he waited for his companions to follow suit.

"Well, I'm still practicing this ninjutsu, but what would it hurt for you both to go ahead and begin as well?" He felt it better for them all to practice simultaneously so that they'd be able to accomplish their goal a bit faster.

Turning away from D as she began to prep her technique, Genpaku rushed to perform more kata, his mind still preoccupied with his earlier distraction. Replication seemed to be today's objective as he was soon interrupted by D's words to come and look at her creation. He stopped what he was doing and went over to the kunoichi, now somewhat irked that he had chosen to train in a group. His smile remained on his face as he approached her, though he had been really fighting back bouts of irritation. The smile soon turned agape as he saw what the woman held within her grasp: a miniature bunshin. He could not tell exactly how she had crafted so fine a replica, yet she did so seemingly effortlessly; the thing within her hand had every last detail that the original herself did. He wondered had it been her mind or her spirit that created such a thing in so delicate a manner. 

"Nice.." he managed to say as he looked at the smiling girl. He was not envious nor was he in a praising mood. Afterward, he completed hand seals and cast his essence into the wind: the water within the lightly frozen snow began to transition into something completely different than white fluff. 

Chakra caused the medium to soften and turn vaporous as Tetsune pressed for control over the water element. As the winds started to increase, so did the amount of flurries, thus turning into more cold mist due to manipulation. The makeup of the Oboro Bunshin started to blend into one form as he continued to use chakra to mend his replication. Slowly, in a spiraling wind of vapor and chakra, the thing became manifest, although transparent in the beginning. Genpaku remedied this by adding more chakra to the thing, which resulted in more vapor coming together to form darker shades for clothing and hair; the skin of the clone remained pale as its creator's. The creation of the clone had happened at D's back, and had she cared to turn around when he first began to complete handseals, then she would have seen its inception. Creating clones was a tasking procedure, especially when making them out of gaseous elements.
