Ryo's Training (Training Finished for Now)

[.:Ryo:.]

Suna Bunshin no Jutsu (Sand Clone Technique)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of creating clones by using the sand around them. Depending on how much sand the user has, and how well the user is capable of using this technique is dependent on how many clones the user is capable of creating. The C Rank version of this very technique allows the clones movement, and basic attacks such as punches and kicks, but no techniques. When first learned the user is capable of creating up to five Clones, this is for the D Rank Version. If the user learns the C Rank version theyare capable of creating two clones. Each time learned for the Rank Version of this technique the user is capable of creating two clones. Each time the user learns a C Rank version of this technique the user is capable of creating one extra clone.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: For D Ranks The Clones that are created are basically useless, only used as a destraction, only used to stand and can not be used to attack. The user can not learn more C Rank Versions of this technique then that of the D Rank Version of this technique.
Description: If the user has an abundance amount of sand along the ground the user is capable of focusing their chakra along the sand to where they are capable of controlling the sand's structure to create a vast amount of clones if capable.
Limit: Must have the Sand Release, Must know the Sand Control of D Rank. For every Ten Clones equals ten meters of Sand Needed.

Since he had left the adoption agency he had been with, Ryo had been living in a small, hut-like house. The sun beat down on him in there, and the wind was always audible, but it was better than living in that infernal agency! He hated it there and was glad he was able to get out of it. But today was a new day and, like every day in Ryo’s fourteen year old life, it was a day to train. There was always something to train for, whether it was for an exam, a tournament, or not to be killed by opposing ninjas. Ryo would never let himself stop training until he was satisfied with himself as a ninja. He knew he was at least slightly powerful, but Ryo’s skill level needed to improve drastically before he could actually relax.

Ryo was on his way to the middle of nowhere, where he liked to train the most. It was on the outskirts of the village, where most people didn’t really travel unless they too were traveling or training. A small gust of wind swept over the sand warrior, smoothing his blonde hair down, as he let his gourd slide to the ground, spilling out sand filled with his chakra. He had a sweatshirt on that covered from his belt up to his mouth. On his belt were his Kunai and smoke grenade. His windmill Shuriken were concealed.

Having a lack of clone jutsu, Ryo needed to work on that most today. He started to use his sand control to spread the sand out ten meters in ever direction. He began to build up his chakra in the sand to his right side, but didn’t perform the necessary handseals to start the jutsu just yet. Ryo quickly performed the handseals and tried to bring a clone up right next to him, focusing all the chakra he could into the sand. He connected with it, built a relationship with it, and felt confident in it. He was going to nail it!

The sand did as he willed, that much was certainly clear, but Ryo’s hands started to tremble about three-fourths the way through the process. The head had formed, the chest had formed, the body, the arms, and the hands, but when it came to the ending, Ryo struck out. His hands trembled for about ten seconds, the clone struggling to stay up, but its feet never formed. It collapsed into the pile of sand in front of Ryo as he sighed heavily. He panted for a moment before catching his breath. “I’ll just do it again,” Ryo spoke aloud to himself, thinking that nobody was around him anyway.

The sand swirled around him as he regained his connection between the mind and the chakra in his sand. The handseals were faster this time, and more precise. The clone would be perfect this time, he knew it would! The sand formed right in front of him this time, piece by piece, little by little. With his hands steady, Ryo formed more intricate features this time, concentrating all of his energy. His breath got a bit heavier, but he was confident in himself. The arms, the legs… It would be complete in just a few more moments.

Without this as the starting basis the user is uncapable of using their Sand Techniques to their fullest potential.
Special: ---
Drawback: This is to be considered as a skill tree, each time the user learns a certain is the difference between how well the user is capable of using their technique and controlling sand within a longer and longer style of distance.
Description: The user pours their chakra into the ground along the sand. By doing so the user is capable of grabbing the Sand pushing it upwards, downwards, or even to the sides.

The clone came up to a full size of Ryo himself. It was as if a mirror was standing in front of him. A smirk came across the Gennin’s face. Instead of a full smile or a laugh, Ryo smirked in times of triumph. The smirk faded away just as quickly as it had come. The clone sank down and became part of the sand. Now it was time for yet another new trick, but this time it was an adaptation of a technique that Ryo already knew. He just needed to improve upon it and make it the best he could possibly make it. Ryo made sure he was ready before continuing any further.

The control over Ryo’s sand had not always been that great, but he had managed to control it over the past couple of years. If he was going to come a great Sand Village ninja, Ryo would need to extend his reach over his sand. Ten meters was a pretty weak distance considering the power that other sand ninja possessed. Ryo needed the full length of twenty-five before he could call himself decent. If he could master this, then Ryo could do most any sand techniques.

Ryo’s palms were flat, his arms extended in a straight line. His elbows bent, moving his hands back and forth very slowly. The sand went up to the ten meter mark and he pushed for more. He pushed; sweat trickling off of his forehead, down his eyebrow, across his cheek, and to his chin. He got a good twelve meters before the sand trickled back down to a ten meter mark. Ryo walked up to the twelve meters and made a line in the sand with his foot. He made another line at the ten meter mark. If he couldn’t get past the twelve meter mark each time, Ryo might as well give up.

[.:Ryo:.]

[0/30 - Felt like writing...]

After making the two marks in the sand, Ryo walked back to his earlier position, moving his gourd behind him at his feet. He wanted to feel a bit less weight, and his gourd sure did slow him down sometimes. In a fight he would keep it on his back, but that was only because he was afraid it would be broken. That wasn’t likely, but hey, you never know. Ryo bent his knees and looked at the two marks in the ground, his eyes staring at the twelve meter one. “I need to make it past that one… Fifteen meters this time… That can’t be too hard! It’s just three more than what I was doing before,” Ryo thought aloud to himself, not caring if somebody could hear him.

Ryo’s flat palms moved back and forth as the sand succumbed to his will, quickly flooding to the ten meter mark. Sweat trickled off his brow as he pushed for eleven, twelve, and then thirteen. Ryo could feel his arms start to tremble, but he didn’t let it bother him. He moved to fourteen, and now his legs too were buckling, but Ryo simply wouldn’t give up. The sand village ninja continued to push and push, the sand growing more violent. The sand hit the fifteen meter mark and went to sixteen before Ryo broke off his connection, not able to take anymore. He sighed and moved down the sand, making a mark at the sixteen meters.

“I can do so much better…”

Another mark was made at twenty meters, which would be Ryo’s new goal for the next time he tried it. But right now, he was going to take a very short recess. Normally he wouldn’t take any breaks, but this was draining Ryo’s chakra and energy, so he figured a small intermission could only help him. He sat down in his sand and closed his eyes. He sat Indian style, his hands folded together in his lap. His mind thought of the places beyond the Land of Wind. When most people brought in news, it was of the Land of Fire. There was always something important happening there that people would brag about inside the Hidden Sand Village. Ryo’s eyes snapped open violently as he stood up and went back into his stance.

The twenty meter mark was harder to see than the sixteen one, but he would know when he hit it. Satisfaction would sweep over his body and he would feel proud to wear the headband of his village. This time it was much easier to hit the twelve mark. The sand covered the ten mark, the twelve mark, and got all the way up to sixteen before Ryo felt any sign of a struggle within his own body. He regained control of his chakra and refused to let it go, even though he would have to eventually. The sand was so close to hitting the twenty meters that Ryo could almost taste it.

The sand smashed against the dirt right before the twenty meter mark, hitting at about nineteen and a half, before Ryo let it go. He easily caught his breath this time, used to it. He was still not going to give up! He sighed, cursing and muttering under his breath. “WHY CAN’T I DO THIS?!”

[.:Ryo:.]

[10/30]

Fueled by his determination and anger, Ryo pushed his fists forward, the sand cutting through the open air and across the desert floor. Ryo’s eyes were opened widely now, a sudden gust blowing his clothes and hair all around. His entire body was running with hot blood, his chakra flowing wildly in an untamed manner. The gennin smirked evilly, not even quivering when he tried to perform the task this time. It seems that when he was angry was when he worked the most efficient. Of course, that could be a danger to his future teammates if he got a little too angry… That would certainly be an interesting event to witness.

The sand quickly overwhelmed the nineteen mark and continued past that, going clear onto twenty-five meters. The smirk on Ryo’s face grew larger and larger with pleasure at his sudden boost of ability. Never before had such power been unleashed, but it would be short-lived. Ryo broke down onto his knees just as he hit about twenty-six meters. His hands started to hurt and he was forced to break it off. The sand stopped, just swirling in the slight breeze that had picked up. Ryo was on his hands and knees, panting for air to breathe.

“Never before… Had I wielded such awesome power…”

A faint feeling came about him after this new explosion of power, and Ryo wasn’t exactly sure what to do exactly. He slowly came back up to his feet, that shaking feeling rattling the very depths of his body. He put a hand to his forehead, slowly rubbing it, pushing hair out of the way. He breathed in and out, making each breath deliberate. He looked down at his hands. Slowly, his body became steady again, and the trembling stopped. Ryo sighed out of relief, glad that he wasn’t going to just pass out on his own sand. He had never felt so exhausted when he had trained before, but that could also be because he had never really tried so hard to master a Jutsu before.

The thought about going to get food slowly arose inside the young sand ninja’s head, but he quickly suppressed it. “No, not until I have this down! After that I will be able to go get food and rest… That is, until tomorrow.” Ryo looked across the desert and stood up straight again, keeping perfect posture. “If I think I can do it, then I know I can do it. So let’s try this thing a few more times before throwing in the towel so early.” And it was indeed still early. It was only about noon or a little bit after. He usually didn’t start going home until the night took over or a horrific sandstorm invaded his training session.

This time the gennin was going to keep complete control and not lose it like last time. A ninja without control is just a novice in Ryo’s book. Without control an enemy can defeat you in a matter of seconds. But with control, your enemy will be vanquished before he even knew what hit him. While Ryo was by no means a perfect ninja, he knew he would need to kill in order to become successful. Ryo took one least deep breath before his right hand sprang forward just like before.

The sand shot forward just like Ryo had seen before. He did not feel shaky at all, but he knew that might change. The sand continued, past fifteen, past twenty, past twenty-one… twenty-two. Ryo did not feel in the least bit tired though. His chakra was at its limit, but then how come he wasn’t shaking? Maybe it was because he was used to it by now… Or his training was paying off and he could keep the connection with his sand up longer. He hoped it was the second.

The sand got to about twenty-six before it stopped its invasion of the desert floor. He made a mark on the ground where it was and then went back to his previous position. He felt better about himself this time for some reason.

[.:Ryo:.]

[16/30]

Not wasting any time of this precious training session, Ryo quickly formed the sand up again and sent it forward. It hit the same spot though. Ryo did it again, and again, and again, and again! But every time it remained at the same spot, not willing to go any further. Ryo was unwilling to get angry, but this was something that puzzled him. Forming strength and chakra, he quickly spun around and threw his hand down, a large spike going all the way down the sand, but still ending at the same spot. Ryo sighed and tried one more time before he stopped, his breath turning desperate. “Damn it, what is wrong with me?! This is just starting to get annoying…”

The wind picked up around him like before, some of the sand particles spreading out across his feet. He looked down at them as they brushed against his feet and legs. His gaze remained at the ground, but his hand, turned sideways, quickly went toward where the markings on the ground were. Unlike before, the sand now was spreading out slowly. Before it was rapid, violent, and spread over the large area quickly. But Ryo had come to realize something. He had to master the Jutsu more before he would be able to do such quick movements. The sand hit twenty-four, twenty-five… And now Ryo was smirking again.

It got all the way to twenty-eight and a half, so close to thirty that Ryo was almost in a full out grin, just almost. “Thank you…” He said, almost as if talking to the sand that was spread out at his feet.

“One… Last… Time…” Ryo said, hoping that this time he had finally mastered it. He used his right palm and sent it in front of him, the sand moving faster than last time, but not at its full speed. He didn’t want to put too much strain on himself since he had been quite tired. He would need to get some food and rest before continuing his training for the day, no matter how much he didn’t want to depart from the sand. Ryo’s palm was sent forward, and the sand was only doing what it was commanded to do. It went forward, past twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, and onto thirty. It hit the mark, but the remarkable thing was that it stayed there. Ryo smirked and picked up his gourd, putting the sand back in it before proceeding to the village. There, he got food, and a bit of rest within his own house, before continuing back out to finish his training for the day.

By this time it was much darker, the sun just about setting, and the wind starting to pick up. It was the perfect time to practice on more Jutsu before turning it to the night. Ryo could worry about training tomorrow after learning one last technique. He put his gourd down on the floor and let the sand spill out at his feet. He didn’t let it go too far because he didn’t really need to practice much on this one. It was just a D rank, nothing that straining on the body. Ryo readied himself.

Daisan no Me (The Third Eye) NinJutsu
Type: D Rank
Description: A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja uses sand to create an eye through which they can clearly see without fear of being seen. Perfect for spying or collecting information, or targeting an opponent while guarding himself with a wall-defense.

[0/10]

This wouldn’t take as much skill as the Sand Controlling technique before, but it would still take a decent amount of chakra out of Ryo. “This is it for the night,” he said to himself. He kneeled down at the sand and thought about what an eye looked like. The texture, the color, the shapes, how it felt, what it looked like; all these things needed to be taken in account before Ryo could even attempt it. Ryo slowly, without even touching it, formed his sand into a perfect circle. It was still sandy, and he needed it to look like an actual eye. He slowly tried to form it, squinting as he did so.

The perfect circle that Ryo had formed quickly dissipated into nothing more than particles. Ryo knew that the eye wouldn’t be good enough on just his first shot at it. He needed to make it better, more functional. It was the invisible link to the optic system that gave it the power of seeing. Ryo needed to create that link using his chakra in order to be able to see with it. He knew this technique would come in handy when gathering information. He sighed and sat down in the sand, letting it cover him.

“Let’s try this again,” Ryo’s hands were put together so that the eye would form in the middle of them. He closed one eye and started to let the sand particles, almost invisible to the naked eye, come together. They slowly started to form from the sand, making a circle, twisting and spinning at an average rate. Ryo let the sand continue to do this, just twist and spin, until it formed a circle and nothing else could be done to perfect it. He looked at it and smirked, proud of himself.

He then let it form into an actual eye. It was at this time that Ryo turned his back on it, but was still able to see out of it. He gasped, not really sure what it felt like at first. He stood up and began to walk about ten meters away, but was still able to see out of it. He found it better to keep one eye open and one eye closed so that the feeling wasn’t so… odd. He could see from his back and front now. This was an amazing Jutsu to be able to control.

[.:Ryo:.]

[1/10]

The eye was still behind Ryo as he stood with his back to it. He closed both of his eyes. He knew that with the right chakra and power he could make it disappear and reappear in different places. He could also use it to see when he had both his eyes closed or if there was a wall in front of him. It was just an extra eye that he could use at his will. After mastering this Jutsu Ryo knew that collecting information or spying on people would be so much easier, and he was glad for it. “Let the sand control me, let the sand be my master, let the sand kill my enemies…”

Ryo shut both of his eyes and saw using the eye. Without moving any part of his body, Ryo made the eye reappear in front of him. He knew it was there because he could see using it. He made it look around, into the sky, down to the ground, at himself, toward the village. He could do whatever he wanted with it and see whatever he wanted with it. He smirked as he had been doing all day when he was proud of his work. He opened his eyes and canceled his connection with the eye. He then summoned it again. He had it down now, his connection with it as strong as it could possibly be.

Putting his skills to the test now, Ryo used Sand Control to spread the sand around him and summoned a new eye. He closed both of his normal eyes and used the summoned eye in order to perform all of his attacks and Jutsus. Ryo began with just normal Sand Control, moving it around him and about the desert so that he could get used to this very odd range of vision. Everything was very weird seeing it from here, but it also seems clearer than his normal vision. He then looked down at the sand and began to use his clone Jutsu.

Ryo’s hands performed the handseals in a matter of seconds and one clone was emitted. The eye saw it all, which means Ryo saw it all, which means that this Jutsu was working out perfectly. Ryo smirked and smiled at himself, now opening both of his eyes and dismissing his clone. He worked with the eye more, walking back toward the village with his gourd full of sand. He closed his eyes the entire way back, using the eye to see everything. “Perfection is mine…”
