Waddling around the Cloud village, Ulyanin looked around at his surroundings and was in as much awe as he had been 3 years ago when he was first found. He had previously headed to the Academy to learn new techniques, like what else he could make with mud and stuff, like probably making bunnies out of mud or any sort of critter he could think of; the making of magical mud rabbits would to wait however, as a there was one scroll in the Academy's library of Releases and Techniques that described how to create hands out of mud that can appear at distances of up to 20 meters away from him so long as there is mud present. With the ability to create hands 20 meters away, the puffy-haired little weirdo bounced up and down with glee at how he could finally beach ball with himself without frantically scurrying to catch the ball as it landed; the only thing that would have to be taken care of was getting his own beach ball.

Ulyanin decided to go outside of the village so as to not get in trouble as he usually would with his zany antics. In order to practice creating his mud hands, the childlike little person needed an open are of dirt and rock that he can turn into mud where it would serve as the ideal place to teach himself; after walking some distance away from the village, the fluffy-headed adventurer nodded happily before performing the hand seals needed to form the mud field in the following sequence: the rat first, with the right hand wrapped around the index and middle fingers of the left hand; the dog second, with the left hand placed flat atop the right hand as it is balled into a fist; and the boar as the third and final seal, with both hands curled against each other and the thumbs pointing downwards. Having performed the hand seals he needed, the odd little guy was quick to slam his hands to the ground to start forming the mud by releasing his Water and Earth chakra into the soil.

The formation of the mud field was both dramatic and took up to a minute to begin and expand the partial liquefaction of the ground beneath Ulyanin's feet; the field expanded to a size of 10 meters by 10 meters, with the depth of the field being 10 meters deep. With the technique complete, the wooly little guy then dove into the pool of ground pudding after casting rat and boar hand seals again to allow him to dog paddle in the thick mud as if it were water; having his head and hands pop up out of the malleable dirt, Ulyanin attempted to establish the same underground chakra channels as he would have if he used Earth Mimicry after performing the appropriate hand seals that the Mud Mimicry required. The channels were proving difficult to create, as it involved continuous oscillations, adjustments and readjustments between Earth and Water chakras because of the mixed properties of the mud; this was the beginning of one pickle of a puzzle for Ulyanin, but it was a puzzle that the eager learner looked most forward to tinkering and solving.

After what felt like hours, as the sun appeared to be more at the direction where it sets than in the center, Ulyanin decided to draw circles in his mud field while he wondered what it was he could do to make the mud hands he was seeking; as the strange fellow started making numerous scratch marks on the insides of the circles, an idea began to form in his mind as to how he could possibly make the channel longer, but it was an idea the curious young learner wasn't too sure of. The idea revolved around the principle of how objects tended to make water rise as the objects then occupied the space that water had once been; one of his parents from the caravan had once told him about it and had called it "displacement", and was also something that could be applied to Ninjutsu when applied a certain way. One particular example that Ulyanin remembered his parents demonstrating was how spiraling one's Earth chakra made for a more stable underground passageway without having to place support braces.

Innately, the world and all that resided in it possessed boundless stores of chakra, with each and everything in this world possessing properties in their chakras that allow them to be manipulated by other chakras, or were uncontested in how their particular purposes were fulfilled. Ulyanin's Caravan parents explained to their naive young ward that, if he put his chakra into some things in a certain way, it would do stuff; that was their basic lesson on how all of the techniques used by ninjas and non-ninjas alike were generally like. Inspired by the simple teachings of his family back in the wagons, the boy with the wild black cloud for hair began injecting some of his Earth and Water chakras into the Mud Field once again; but this time with this next attempt at hand, he drilled his chakra through the energy inherent of the Earth in a spiral pattern as it swirled clockwise. The method was surprisingly effective, as the range was extended to 1 foot.

After returning from the village to get something to eat for his lunch break, Ulyanin munched eagerly on a most delicious and very fascinating food stuff as he returned to the area he had been training in. The treats and other goodies that the odd little person had gotten were skewers that each had 3 chewy spheres made out of rice flour and then glazed in a sweet sauce made from soy sauce; the vendors who gave the goodies to him called the confection "Mitarashi Dango", the other treats were carried in a large brown paper bag and were also more round and incredibly satisfying treats. Particularly, the ones in the bag were large enough to take up half of the childlike youth's hand and were filled with a flavorful red bean paste.

With the yummy edibles having been quickly consumed by the happy wool head, Ulyanin once again assumed his training; however, he would be using a different approach that would help him better understand the hows and whens of continuously distributing and swapping different flows of Water and Earth chakra to establish the buried pathway needed to create, manipulate, and maintain the particular appendages of mud. By performing the needed hand seals in the right order, the puffy-haired fellow clenched his hands into fists as he struck them into and through the ground before creating channels of chakra that would extend to a distance of 10 meters, where hands of rock and dirt began to sprout and take form; Ulyanin moved and tinkered with the artificial limb's digits while getting the feel of how much chakra he was expending to maintain the connection. The tether of energy was much easier to create and maintain, as solid dirt and rock tended to be a more stable medium because it generally had a relatively uniform composition; that was not to be expected with mud, as any particular section of a certain area can have varying degree of liquefaction which meant varying degrees of water deposits that were contributing to the concentrated pockets of moisture.

Having appraised the workings of how the cable of energy was formed in Earth mimicry, it seemed to Ulyanin that he would be able to get a much better grasp at how to perform the Mud Mimicry technique. Once again, the wooly oddball performed the rat, dog, and boar hand seals to create another mud field and proceeded to stick his hands into the drenched and malleable soil; concentrating and releasing his Water and Earth chakras into the ground through his hands, Ulyanin tried to create a stable enough pathway for his energy to follow. Continuously alternating and enhancing the amount of chakra he poured into the emulsified dirt as he imagined a line running beneath the ground getting longer and longer; however, with much of the time he had spent thus far, he was only create a connection that was 1 meeter at best, and he was unable to form any appendage let alone an entire hand.

Thinking back again to the principle of displacement, Ulyanin already understood that by injecting his chakra into the mud in a twisting pattern, he could then safely displace the energies present within the immediate source of Earth without having the channel collapse; the resulting rebound if the tether did cave in would cause his own chakra to shoot back out if he was unable to create an alternate point for the energies to exit, the expelled energy if successful would actually be added to the connection and is actually the end that would form the artificial hands made of mud. Not to be confused with actually creating a physical tunnel, the methodology still followed the same mechanics as with the more concrete counterparts; there was transitioning period in which Ulyanin's chakra began to take as physical state as it mingled with the mud, as small bumps began to poke up and wiggle.

After yet another session of filling his tummy with goodies, Ulyanin had taken a nap as he floated atop his mud field, which was like resting on a comfortable bed of clouds... if clouds were mushy and made him stuck for a few minutes. What came next was a long episode of trying to get up, but the little guy was pretty much glued to his own mud field of a bed, and it really didn't help that he needed to relieve himself behind a nearby bush; this little pickle was beginning to make the childlike wool head sob and cry as he started to panic in his inability to get free, until he popped right out. Hopping and clapping enthusiastically at his release from muddy bondage, instead of calling it a day and play with his stuffed animal plush toys, Ulyanin stuck his hands into the mud to continue his training; much to the irony of forgetting that he could swim out of the mud as well as sticking his hands in the very trap he just got loose from.

Moving onwards in trying to get the mud hands that the fluffy-haired oddball sought after like a new toy that every kid would want, he continued concentrating very hard in oscillating his Earth and Water chakras in order to create and lengthen the channel that would allow him to manipulate the mud and form it into at least a wiggly pinky; the effort was palpable in that Ulyanin's pale face began to redden into a pinkish color, his brow furrowed in determination and his puffy cloud of hair trembled like something alive as the eager learner was shivering with his best efforts. It was up to this point that he was able to make a stable enough tether of chakra what wouldn't immediately dissipate as soon as he created the connection; with great strides, Ulyanin was able to stretch the connection to the length 3 meters, with some fingers coming out.

Hours and hours were spent focusing and seeing how far Ulyanin could push the limits of his abilities; such undivided attention was rather uncharacteristic of the otherwise scatterbrained little fellow, as most of the villagers including his good friend Satoru Takagi noted that he often stared off into space or was easily distracted and made fascinated by almost every little nuance of wherever he was. But such was the nature of the strange little person as he had a strong desire to learn new things the he believed were fascinating and fun, which the process of learning was just as entertaining and worthwhile as what he would achieve as the end result; very much so if in the case of how Ulyanin was making some good headway in gradually being able to create the hands of mud the technique promised, and in being able to extend the distance that the hands would pop up from.

It was the third day that Ulyanin was training to acquire the Mud Mimicry technique, the progress that the puffy-haired weirdo had made was both gradual and consistent throughout, as he had previously made it to the point where he could form the general shape of fingers with parts of the hands and have them move up to a distance of 6 to 7 meters; having gained a little more than double the proficiency and range after several hours or practice, the eager learner had also made numerous attempts to move the newly formed appendages around and make them pop in in the places he desired. The first attempts at moving the partial mud hands were slow and the effectiveness in reforming whatever the odd little wool head could pass for hands had decreased in gradual increments over time with each relocation. It was becoming less of a problem on the mechanics of how the technique was performed and more into an issue of how much chakra should be continuously spent to maintain a constant quality in forming the mud hands.

Working out the mud hands created problems that were different from how Ulyanin first learned how to make a mudfield; however, there were some similarities shared between the two when it came down to distribution due to both techniques covering a particular distance. The problems that the strange little fellow had with creating the mud field were more along the lines of gathering the needed moisture from the air by using his Water chakra to liquify the ground into a more malleable state and then thoroughly mingle the moisture and water chakra with the soil and its inherent natural energies; with the Mud Mimicry technique, the user had to concentrate on making a channel of chakra through the mud instead of blasting the ground with moisture and Water chakra and call it a day after making sure there were no big rocks inside the ground pudding. Mud Mimicry had more to do with controlling and shaping a portion of mud, which meant that chakra had to follow a set pathway with only some room for deviations in how broad or narrow the pathway would be, and in how great or how little the chakra output would be; the risks of having the pathway disrupted would either be that the chakra would be absorbed by the environment, the technique would be incomplete and take up more chakra, or the technique would fizzle out altogether.

Finally, Ulyanin came up with a solution in order to finally reach the full range he needed for the mud hands to appear and to move them as effectively as he could. The answer was simple, yet it was also more costly because it involved spending more and more chakra in proportion to having the hands appear at a distance as they moved, retain their shape each time they appeared, and to perform every action in accordance to his will while in the limits of the technique; it was around that time that the fluffy-headed youth decided to take another food break and have his fill of more goodies that he had brought with him. Hopping up and down in joy and cheer, Ulyanin was enjoying a bag full of tasty vegetable dumplings he had gotten from a very popular food stall that had been set up by a great cook who had also been an immigrant; much of the cook's customers were either young genin or people who were of the working class, as his food was very affordable and was a staple fare for the common worker.

The food was nonetheless delicious, and it helped fuel the childlike person's endeavors as he then tested his abilities again, performing the needed hand seals to use the technique before sticking his hands into the mud where he created the underground connection and lengthened it as far as he could make it; there, he increased and decrease the amount of chakra he would use in proportion to shaping, distance, and motion complexity. In a funny twist that would be his ultimate test, Ulyanin began weaving hand seals through the mud hands before hardening the hands and striking them into more solid ground, where a pair of hands made of dirt and rock appeared 5 meters away; having done this, the puffy-haired little guy slumped and was lying on his back, feeling like he did a job well done

Waking up one morning, Ulyanin yawned and immediately hopped up out of bed so that he could explore the Cloud village and learn more new things. Wandering and scurrying about all over the place, the curious wool-head looked to every which a way, at roof tops and in open plazas as the bright-eyed and bushy-haired youth found a lot to be fascinated about; there were nice birdies perched in random places as well as on the ground where they bounced around until a person walked by. Once again, the odd fellow went into the Ninja Academy's Technique Library after a long while of chasing and jumping to catch a bird; with the matter of not being able to grab a sparrow and pet its little head aside, he wondered what sort of technique he could learn so that he could more easily make a small feathered friend, maybe try to give a sense of mellowness so that he could be covered by a pile of little birds that would sing their cheerful chirpy songs. Although such a dream would most likely remain a flight of fancy, learning a new technique was still a fun thing to do as the childlike youth saw it.

After skimming through a number of reads, most of which were colored and had pretty pictures of plants and animals that Ulyanin loved to look at, the wool-headed oddball found a scroll that described the creation of an illusory pattern that was meant for distracting people and critter alike; there were even instructions on how to create the illusion and how it could be set up to affect multiple people or animals, the main goal being that whoever or whatever was affected would be preoccupied and even disarm any sense of danger when the technique was used. Sure enough, the name of the technique that was labeled onto the scroll was called "Distracting Pattern", and it was something that would fit in with the eager learner's many silly pursuits and happenings; having found a means by which he could finally snuggle with oodles of small feathered friends, Ulyanin clapped enthusiastically and started hopping up and down before being shushed and scolded by the librarian, which prompted the little guy to waddle out and begin his training.

There was a methodology that was to be in place, as with any illusion-casting technique that warps how the environment is perceived, for Ulyanin would have to meditate in order to make the needed mental preparations for the illusion to take shape. Genjutsu in the same subcategory as the Distracting Pattern involved projecting images, either still or animate, from the mind of the caster and into reality by using chakra as a three-dimensional manifestation; the image that the childlike youth desired was a swirling field of colors that transitioned from pale brown, to white, to varying shades of gray, to black, to varying shades of brown brown, and then back to pale brown again. Other preferences were images of various plant seeds to attract birdies or of a large tent where bright pale brown lights flashed like fireworks, as it was sure to grab anyone's attention; with a great and whimsical imagination, it wasn't hard of Ulyanin to come up with projections that would grab attention from most people. If ever the puffy-haired weirdo wanted to make a very convincing image as the illusion, he would have to change the properties in the chakra he was expelling to act as the projecting canvas.

The way chakra was used to create projections, smells, or other perceived experiences that some forms of genjutsu involve was by either manipulating light, or by manipulating the sensory nerves of the targeted party directly. By using chakra as a sort of screen that could be constantly altered in texture and refractory, light can bend and warp to create any particular imaging that the caster desired; this would mean that if Ulyanin wanted, he could create pretty sparkling lights that were like fireworks of dazzling pale brown, white and gray colors. As Genjutsu is the least costly of the three technique fields, with Taijutsu being the most physically damaging to the user, and Ninjutsu causing both physical and mental exhaustion over time; the main purpose of Genjutsu is mainly to create a means of redirecting attention, or to stall a target long enough to prepare a preemptive or counter strike, with some illusions being powerful enough to alter a person's mental processes like emotions or memories. The way of casting worked coincidentally in an energy-saving mechanic that has the user's chakra released in fast bursts instead of as a continuous stream; this was comparable to flipping the pages of a notebook to animate images that were otherwise unmoving when each are seen separately.

For illusions that affected the sensory portion of a person's nervous system, like the Distracting Pattern that Ulyanin was trying to learn, the chakra sent to the target would have had to have some fast and simplistic suggestions programmed into it with each burst expelled. The young wool head concentrated and spent several hours trying to project his mental image of tasty plant seeds on the ground some distance away where birds were present; but each time he tried, it often resulted in the birds flying off in alarm because the illusion portrayed the wrong thing, or them not reacting at all because the illusion couldn't be manifested. Attributing his many errors to his tendencies of being easily distracted, Ulyanin ran around flailing his arms as various onlookers reacted with either stifled laughter or confused expressions; this episode lasted until the strange and cranky little person passed out from tiring himself out, only for him to wake up and get a drink a nice chilled tea that had milk in it. Making one more try, the puffy-haired learner concentrated to create an image of twigs, pieces of dry grass , and other dead vegetation strewn all over the ground which would attract any nest-building species of birds that were in need of building material; Ulyanin's hopes were answered as one bird after another began to gather and started pecking the ground in order to pick up the nonexistent debris, with many also landing on him, thinking he was a pillowy pile of straw.

After having spent an entire day befriending and snuggling in a feathery pile of little birds, the ever happy Ulyanin felt as though learning new techniques for opening many doors to fun and happy times; it was especially so since the birds now felt comfortable around him that they occasionally perched on his shoulder or his peculiar hat that he often wears on top of his fluffy head, the technique having served is silly purpose of helping him play with his new little winged friends. Wandering around the village, the odd fellow had entered a sort of pub where both snacks and drinks were being sold and eaten by a number of customers who were already present; the environment within the pub was rather relaxed, homely, and mellow, being rather out-of-place in a village that epitomized busy bodies and hectic working schedules. At some point, a maid was carrying a rather hot beverage as she made her way towards a customer, then she accidentally tripped and spilled on an unfortunate man's lap, where he then spewed the contents he was drinking. It was this little mishap that inspired the fluffy-headed explorer to towards the Technique Library found in the Ninja Academy once again so that he could learn how to shoot a huge spout of water out of his mouth, as being able to blast water out of one's mouth like a cannon looked to have been a very fun ability to have and as a pastime worth learning.

Rummaging through the library and creating a small pile of scrolls, Ulyanin looked around to see if there was such a technique that enabled shooting a small torrent of water out of the caster's mouth. This technique was known as the Pressure Jet, and was described to propel water at same speed as a thrown kunai knife; it would really be useful for water fights with the neighborhood kids who also happened to know Water Release techniques, as the 10 meter maximum distance means he could soak people from a far enough distance. After having read the scroll, Ulyanin was going to check it out and leave, until the librarian scolded him again and told him to clean the pile of scroll he made and place each of them back to where he found them from; his head hung in resignation and obedience, the puffy-haired little weirdo tried sorting through which scroll went where, which was a task that took a few hours to finally accomplish. Having earned an exasperated sigh and a pat on the head by the librarian, the eager young learner went off on his merry way to train, but this time in a frequently used testing grounds that many young aspiring ninja had gone to.

When reaching the training grounds, many hopefuls were already hard at work improving and refining whatever techniques they managed to learn, the green horns held fast to the dream of becoming distinguished and well-known shinobi; there were also veterans and other higher ranking ninja who were either either casually keeping their prowess as well honed as possible, or those who were locked in rigorous and intense regiments in hopes of becoming stronger and well equipped to meet whatever situation befell them both outside and inside of the village. Sometimes, there were three or five upstarts who sought after some much coveted wisdom, advice, and even tutelage from the seasoned warriors who have fought and lived through a lot; but when people weren't taking breaks or bugging their betters to teach them new tricks, they were looking at the odd sight of a childlike person with fluffy hair clad in a pale brown cloak, a strange hat, and what looked like flip flops waddling in and trying to find a nice spot to practice. Before he began his training, Ulyanin cheerfully waved at those who watched him, which garnered reactions of either curiosity or amusement at seeing such a strange and quirky little guy try to learn a new technique.

For techniques that used Water Release, there were a few methods in which water was acquire before execution; the easiest and least costly way to actually have a source of water on hand for any particular technique was to be at a large enough body of water, like a lake, river or pond. Other methods of getting water for techniques was to either gather it from the air or atmosphere, or for the caster to extract the needed water from his or her own body. By using one's own Water chakra to attract an abundant amount of water in the air, one would be able to cast water techniques without having to be near a body of water; one drawback is that it may take a take a good deal of time to draw water from the air itself due to the scarcity relative to what is found in a lake, or when in a certain area that was low or lacking in any moisture. When the caster extracts water from his or her own body, the source is readily made accessible and for immediate use; however, drawing water from one's own body can cause potential health risks unless the user is able to rehydrate immediately. There were also hybrids of all three methods as their usage often meant either lowering chakra consumption or to bolster the technique to be more potent that normal; such instances included drawing water from the environment and then stockpile it with water extracted from the caster's body.

Upon what was suggested by the scroll if in the absence of a readily available body of water to act as the technique's source, Ulyanin would have to draw water from the air into his mouth, add it to the water pulled out from his body, and then execute the technique. As per instruction, the main focus for water chakra to flow for the technique was to focus around the throat area and allow it to gain pressure over a period of time prior to releasing the torrent of water that was to mark a successful performance; the childlike person first began taking some of the water from his bodily fluids and gathered it to his throat before opening his mouth to gather water from the air for the amount he still needed. Much to the eager learner's surprise, he was doing quite well for his first try, until he started coughing up water everywhere and left him breathing ragged for a good moment; after a while of trying to catch get the flop out of his system, Ulyanin took a deep breath, relaxed, and did other attempts that were getting better and better in proficiency. The end result was a water spout that was a great success, as it allowed him to eventually spout water the whole 10 meter; unfortunately, the pressure of the water was so great that it made the little wool head fly off at a distance before making him fall back on the ground with a plop.

Having gotten the water-shooting part, Ulyanin's only problem with the Pressure Jet technique was keeping his footing while the torrent of water shot out of his mouth; the issue that the fluffy-headed oddball had was the fact that he lacked the sufficient amount of weight to counterbalance the amount of force exerted when the spout was spewed, an issue that was proving to be quite the puzzle for the wool-headed little weirdo, as it seem to be a problem somewhat more tricky than it really should have been. The first attempt he had made was to simply kneel while he was casting the snake and dragon hand seals to perform the technique; the result that the force pushed him backwards, cause him to spiral, and propelled him to just barely miss colliding into a rather surprise bystander. After dusting himself off and getting a few drinks of water, the eager learner's second attempt had him create a mud field where he then hopped in and had his puffy head sticking out of the ground; it is with the mud field that Ulyanin hoped would anchor him enough to use the technique without as much recoil, pulling his hands out of the mud to create the hand seals, the strange youth's repeat at this time was of much greater success and was something the childlike person clapped cheerfully about.

However, Ulyanin came to the realization that in a water fight with the kids in the neighborhood, none of them would wait for him to cast his mud field for him to be anchored enough to shoot them with water; adding more to this, if they had indeed allowed him enough time to make the mud field for him to stay in place, he would be a sitting fluffy-haired little duck, which meant that he had to come up with another solution. The rather strange and now stumped fellow scratched his unruly cloud-for-hair covered head as the solution seemed to be beyond the reach of his cookie-loving hands; that was until he read through the scroll yet again had seen in a description at the very bottom that instructed the user to lean kneel and lean forward just when the technique is launched. After a while of running around to vent his infantile frustrations, Ulyanin did as the scroll instructed to its full extent, where he was then able to shoot the fast-moving spout of water without much jostling.
