☖ Takeni's Apartment (Training/Open) ☖

[imuse]

        Walking in, his apartment was quite small. Takeni sighed took a quick look around. For a small, one-room apartment it would be fine. The bed sat in the south west corner, caddy-corner to the door; there was a kitchenette facing the central northern side of the apartment with an out looking window. Two body sized windows resided beside the door to give the room an open air. Lastly, the bathroom was in the far west of the room. It was the only piece of the apartment in its own room.

        After his tour, Takeni decided it was time to learn a new technique related to the village in which he'd taken up residence. The first step was to obtain water; as it was the only option, the Kaguya member filled the sink and stopped the drain. At first, focusing on moving the water was his objective. As hard as he tried, Takeni couldn't get the water to bend to his will. Hours upon hours went by where it didn't move so much as a single wave.

        Eventually, the boy was able to create a small tendril of water and force it upward a small amount, but it always fell back down to the sink. Every so often it would move a little bit, a couple of times the water vine actually slapped Takeni, as though it refused to be controlled. Such anger in the inanimate liquid, it was like the water's temper happened to be boiling.

        After several more hours of practice, the water finally bent to the will of its master. Creating, as he had wished, a whirlpool, making an area large enough for his hand to fit without becoming wet. Though he still couldn't hold it for long, Takeni was proud of himself for this most recent feat. He still hadn't mastered Suiton No Jutsu, however he had taken the first step.

        Takeni tried once more to move the water, this time attempting to shape it. At first sight, the water appeared to make a small bubble of water which then proceeded to float up into the boy's hand. It flowed evenly with his chakra. Watching it, the water seemed to hold only as he willed it to, but suddenly it popped! His mind flooded with questions; the main question was attuned to the idea of why the water wouldn't do what he wanted. At first, Takeni seemed to be doing wonderful. The ball of water responded to his chakra, yet it randomly dissipated.

        The next attempt involved causing a strand of water to do as the boy wished. He placed his field cauterizer on the counter and attempted to coax a tentacle of water to grab the pen-like object. At first focusing on creating the tentacle within the sink of water, Takeni spent some time picturing it forming and slightly solidifying. Next, he attempted to cause it to rise, which it did. Following it's arrival, the tentacle slapped the pen, sending it flying, and the began to smack the bejeezus out of its creator. For a whip of water, the tentacle's slaps stung like hell.

        Now that both original attempts had failed, a new idea arose. Focus on the water in his hand while it's in the sink, then pull it out. Takeni sunk his hand in the filled tank of water. It was immediately squeezed by the tentacle which he'd never attempted to get rid of. Ignoring the stinging, the Kaguya once more focused on water forming a circle in the palm of his hand. After several minutes of chakra focus, a small circle formed underneath the surface.

        Pulling the water-ball out, the tentacle seemed to attach itself and began furiously smacking Takeni. It was as though the water held some sort of intense hatred of being controlled; perhaps it was only that tentacle which hated the boy. The tendril wrapped itself around the Kaguya child's neck, forcing him to lose focus on the water ball in order to get rid of the vine; in reaction, Takeni's kimono was soaked. He cursed and sat for a moment in an attempt to regain his composure.

      Returning to his work, Takeni had dropped most of his frustration. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead to his cheek. His apartment was water cooled and the fan was turned off so as not to disturb the boy's work. It seemed that he'd need to do a lot more than just create figures of water that only attack him anyway. Thoughts of water whipping him in the face soared back to his mind. Silently, Takeni agreed not to create anything that resembled a vine for a while. Looking down, the old tentacle's water lay soaking the wood-themed linoleum flooring, which was already in bad condition. The thought occurred that he may have messed up with the flow of chakra, causing the creation to go haywire. Otherwise, it may have been that the water wasn't of great quality, simply pulled from an underground well and not filtered very well. Though it was unclear how that would have worked. Either way, Takeni Kaguya would have to do better to live up to his family name.

        Back in business, the bone ninja tried to part the water; focusing on causing each side to push from the center outward. This, however, only caused the water to splash onto the counter, causing a larger mess. With that idea kaput, Takeni attempted to make a hurricane. Slowly making a whirlpool was easy. It was eventually swirling at a fairly high speed, water sloshing in all directions around it. The next step involved lifting the whirlpool above the water and maintaining its shape; this posed a problem as every time it got above the water, the whirlpool would simply soak Takeni. Wet and filled with shame that he couldn't seem to master the release of his family's village, he wanted to sulk and give up. Nonetheless, it wasn't an option. Next, it seemed the only logical step was to create a tendril that the boy could control even though Takeni vowed that he wouldn't. Rising, the water tentacle grew to roughly four feet long before smacking him and then wrapping itself around his chest, constricting his airway before dissipating. Once again, Takeni was attacked by his own creation.

        It was apparent that another form of training would be required. Standing on his bed at the far side of the room, Takeni formed another four foot tentacle that would be incapable of reaching. This seemed to work fine as it just kept reaching to its limit and then waving around. After a few minutes of focus, the beast-like creation was finally under control although it couldn't quite be called tamed. When it didn't want to do a command it tried to smack Takeni as the others did. It seemed that he would only get work done at a distance for the time being.

        Nearing nightfall and exhaustion, Takeni sat down. The room smelled of mold and the slight breeze blowing in brought it right to the boy. His nostrils filled with the putrid odor, yet he seemed not to mind it. It was twilight hour and the sun had just begun to set. Golden red light poured into the window that sat over the filled sink. Most of the paint in the room had started to chip from the sheer force of the water being thrown everywhere. Being difficult for Takeni to stand, he began to think about what may have gone wrong in the several previous attempts to take control of the water. On occasion the creation would seem to attack the Kaguya as though it had a score to settle; most often this battle would be initiated by a water tentacle. More often, the specimen simply refused to be controlled or even animate. When attempting to part the sink water, Takeni couldn't get it to move very far. At the trial of the hurricane, it would work inside the pool of fluid, however, when the whirlpool was lifted it lost shape. Every single try drained the boy's energy. The more time and energy spent, the harder it got for him to continue going. Suddenly, drawn out of his thought, Takeni's mind brought before him a flashback of his parents using their Suiton No Jutsu. He'd tried to learn it himself then, but failed miserably.

        Takeni's dad was the first to pop into the boy's head. Chikushou, the boy's father, stood at an impressive six and a half feet tall. Long black hair fell to the man's shoulder blades which protruded lightly from Chikushou's back. Wearing his trademarked red kimono, the leader of the Nagi Kaguya village stood in a release stance for Katon. His teeth sparkled in the twilight as he spoke to his own wife. "It's been a while, Kenchi-kun. We'll both be a little rusty so don't hold back." The man proposed. His wife, Kenchi, stood at five feet even. Though short, it would've been extremely irresponsible to underestimate the woman. Her stance was that of Suiton, a water style. Immediately following her husband's words, Kenchi formed several handseals in quick succession and a large dragon made purely of water from the nearby ocean burst out and dove, maw open, into the man and sent him flying into a palm tree.

        Before long, the battle had ended, leaving Takeni and his mother alone while his father tended to his own wounds. "Mother, how do you have such control over the water? I tried moving it the other day, but it wouldn't." The young pre-teen questioned. She laughed and placed a hand on her son's shoulder. "Takeni-bo, suiton is more about equality than katon. While your father may only get one extremely powerful and difficult to control attack in, I'll be able to get several weaker, yet balanced attacks. To begin learning the art of Suiton, one must first learn to give respect to the water as it demands. If not, you'll never be able to ask favors of the fluid when necessary. Come with me," She demanded softly as the two sat with their feet in the ocean. "Feel the salt water enveloping your legs. Let its movement be made clear and the path to mastering Suiton will open up on its own." The woman stated before the flashback ended.

        Thinking about his mother's advice, the Kaguya boy walked over to the sink and filled a large bowl with the water, bringing it back to the bed. "This is for you mother.." He thought, placing his hands in the cool liquid as he sat. The smell of water came in faintly on the air rushing through the window. By that time, twilight had turned to midnight and the sun escaped its visibility. Concentrating on the simplicity, Takeni simply closed his eyes and thought about the bucket's contents; this seemed arbitrary, but over time it became easier to sense even the simplest movements of the water. This newly found sensitivity seemed to be what Takeni's mother must have meant when she spoke of respect for the water.

        After his meditation of the art of Suiton, Takeni took his hands out of the container and took a deep breath. The smell of mold and mildew once again filled his lungs, yet he was used to the peculiar scent by then. It's odor had become oddly comforting. That thought aside, the time had come to attempt a technique once again. Takeni focused on the water's calmness, considering every possible slight shift in the composure. His eyes closed, the boy placed both hands in the water and focused. Instead of demanding obedience, he requested the aid of the liquid. Each shift in the bowl was even more apparent than before and before long, a ball of water formed in his palm. Much to Takeni's surprise, the water maintained shape when lifted out and swirled at high speeds. It seemed as though the technique was working, but to be sure, the Kaguya would have to do more with it. Throwing the ball, he focused on its swirling force propelling it to the sink. The action took much more willpower than creating the ball, but it held shape and eventually reached the wash basin, where the ball dissipated into the drain. It seemed that the boy had gotten along much better with the water and it did exactly as asked.

       As Takeni stood in his empty apartment, the light morning breeze flowed generously into his window. Wafting in the room was the faint fragrance of springtime. At the time in question, the smell of mold had been all but overcome by the fresh air. It felt as though it would be a great time to learn another technique of the Kaguya. In a flash, the boy had set up some old bottles on the window sill. Following the small amount of required preparation, it was time to practice Hessendan; Hessendan was a technique known as "Finger Bullets" unique to the Kaguya clan. In this calcium altering move, a clan member forms small pellets on the tips of their fingers made of bone. Soon afterwards, they expel the bullets from their hands at extremely high speeds. He'd begun learning the move a few months ago, however still hadn't mastered it.

        Pointing his hands at the window sill, Takeni concentrated on the calcium concentration in his body. He felt the bones begin to materialize slowly in his hands, building up bit by bit. Soon, they'd been formed and protruded from the tips of his fingers. With a quick shout, the bullets blasted out of the boy's finger tips, however they were out of control! Each one zipped in different directions, hitting many different things as they passed. Three bullets from the right hand zipped around, blasting holes in the wall. The remaining right pellets found their way through the window and to another window on the far side of the village. Every single projectile from Takeni's left hand went straight upwards, blasting a hole in the roof and coming back down a few inches behind the boy.

        Takeni sat, contemplating what may have gone wrong. The bullets shot fine, at a fair speed, and were pointed in the right directions. It seemed that the boy would need to practice his aim bit by bit. The resting adventurer pointed one finger towards each of two bottles and fired. Both missed completely, flying forward roughly a foot and falling directly downward. It seemed that the bullets were aerodynamically flawed. This news having come to light, it was time to take a different sort of action. Takeni went to his bed and sat cross legged, once more meditating on his issues.

        His eyes closed, Takeni thought about his form. The bullets were roughly two centimeters long with a rounded tip, not unlike that of an overused arrow. Behind the pellets was a hollow tail. When shooting, the boy would just force the bones forward rather than actually taking the time to master it. Each bullet just forced itself out of the skin, but the sheer force needed was barely enough to make it forward, it would take much more for the projectiles to go forward at a high enough rate of acceleration. Each second that passed, Takeni had discovered more and more about the flaws in his technique. Soon, it was time to try once more.

        This time, Takeni stood with his eyes closed and his two index fingers stretched forward. His train of though was set only on technique. Being made with a more pointed tip, the new bullets should have been much easier to force outward, giving the probability of a much farther landing. Soon, the Kaguya member softened the skin on his fingers, alowing for even further ease of exit in relation to the bullets. Finally, he expelled them, the two projectiles flew forward, busting the bottles in front. Once more, Takeni could fire bullets with ease, even if it was only two at a time. It seemed the technique would require even further meditation and practice.

        Once again, Takeni Kaguya sat on the edge of his bed to meditate. The light of day had deserted the skyline of Kirigakure, leaving the area in a period of dusk. Floating on the night's breeze was the fragrance of fresh tree blossoms, having recently bloomed. Takeni spent all day cleaning up his apartment which was now a contemporary home. The walls had been painted black to match the ebony linoleum flooring. He'd cleaned the counters to reveal the marble tops. Lastly, the bed sheets and comforters were both washed and the bed made. The room looked as it never had before, which allowed to ease Takeni's mind when training; this component is especially critical when performing the TaiJutsu special to the Kaguya clan. Without proper focus, it would be all but certain the the Hessendan technique is doomed to fail for it requires precise timing and aim.

        Takeni's meditation was focused more around the clearing of his mind rather than buildup of chakra. Sweeping his mind clear, the boy's train of thought was centered around the technique in question, Hessendan. First, a member of the Kaguya clan would need to create an excess of calcium in his or her skeletal system to be deposited at their finger tips. Immediately after the deposition of calcium, the creator forces the bullets to expel from their fingertips in a chosen direction. The Kaguya member in question's main issue was that of aiming multiple fingertips at once in chosen directions. Solving this issue was difficult. Takeni could easily create and shoot the projectiles, yet had trouble aiming all five fingers at once.

        In an effort to rectify this issue, Takeni set up six bottles, three on either side of the window sill. Upon the first shot, the third bottle bursted into hundred of clear glass shards, which the boy immediately swept into a neat pile. After his short cleaning escapade, he replaced the bottle on the windowsill and resumed his training. On the next attempt, Takeni fired three bullets, one from his right pinky and two from the farthest fingers on his left hand. The right bullet met its target, however the remaining two curved upwards, completely missing their respectively chosen glass bottles. Even after a day of practice, his aim had improved only slightly.

        For his next attempt, the bottles were in a similar fashion. Takeni put more thought into his aim and managed to hit all three bottles attempted, though the pinky bullet only grazed the bottle. After more practice with aim and about a dozen more broken bottles, the three bullet technique was but second nature. Trying to increase the level of difficulty, the boy used six random fingers; despite his previous success, Takeni managed only to hit four of the attempted targets. Several more long and sweaty hours passed until the young man could hit all six target; even more time passed before he was able to hit specific part of the bottles. It seemed that although Takeni's plight seemed hopeless, he was slowly improving.

        Finally, the time came for the Kaguya child to attempt, once again, a ten bullet barrage. He spent a bit more time on the bullets, so that he would not have any flaws. Takeni could feel the calcium coursing through his body. It was as though it knew exactly where to go and what to do. Soon, he could feel the bullets in position and ready to go. Focusing with his fingers outstretched, the boy released them, one at a time, breaking every bottle in fairly rapid succession. Takeni continued this with the remaining bottles. He spent hours upon hours pouring blood, sweat, tears, and bones into the technique. The once clean linoleum floor began to pile up with tons of broken glass and bone particles. Takeni's apartment began to reek of the too familiar saline bodily fluid, even after he spent all day cleaning it.

        Takeni's apartment was now spotless. The ebony wood linoleum flooring was now completely visible and the broken glass all but filled the garbage can underneath the sink. In the spirit of training, the young man once again opened his window. Having prepared for training, he donned a pair of loose shorts and removed his kimono top, allowing the soft breeze to caress his own chest. The smell of lime and cucumber lightly filled the room from a lit lime green candle residing on the marble counter top. Due to its most relaxing qualities, this was the set up of conditions which Takeni preferred to train under.

        Standing near the bedside and facing the window, the Kaguya performed the necessary hand seals to enact his next technique. If all went as planned, thick, black clouds would emerge from the boy's pores and hover in a chosen area. Following their appearance, the vapors were meant to drop a rain of highly flammable oil onto the selected enemy or target. Instead of creating clouds, Takeni simply managed to spit up a small amount of the flammable oil causing it to land on the previously lit candle, igniting the counter and a small section of flooring! His mind racing, he ran to the sink and filled a cup with water several times, dousing the flames bit by bit. Eventually the inferno disappeared into nothingness; it left behind only smoke and black char on the affected region which was cleaned up immediately afterwards by the ninja-to-be and the extinguished candle hidden from sight.

        After the incident, Takeni resolved to be careful as to where he aimed in case of another technical malfunction. Taking further measures to avoid such a catastrophe, the member of the Kaguya clan focused on the technique mentally. Initially, the idea was simple; the ninja performs hand seals, emits a vaporous cloud, and finally douses the enemy in oil. Contrary to his earlier belief, the procedure would require more time taken with hand seals and a much further understanding of the required style of aim. "I suppose this'll take a lot more time than I thought.." He said aloud, seemingly to the cloud of smoke remaining above the counter top. With this new understanding of the technique's style, the boy eagerly proceeded to train in hopes of soon mastering the move.

        Takeni performed the hand seals extremely slowly this time as he must have missed one in his last attempt. Each sign was held roughly five seconds in order to make sure it was performed correctly; of course moving this slowly meant that nothing would happen until the speed of succession was increased immensely. Slowly the pace accelerated by about half a second with each successful progression of signs. After a few minutes worth of practice, Takeni managed to produce a black cloud, though he had forgotten to aim. Slowly forming, the dark fog stood in the same spot that the recent combustion appeared in; even after completion of its final form, the cloud refused to release even a single drop of oil. This issue boggled the teenager's mind so much that he decided to sit on his bed and consider the issue.

        Hunched over on the bedside with his head held tightly between his palms, Takeni tried to figure out the issue with his rain cloud. In addition to horrible aim, the fumes refused to produce anything, not even a normal raindrop. Those points aside, the cloud was still downright puny. It only measured roughly three inches in diameter and hovered about a foot above the counter. The Kaguya slammed his hand against the bed, moving the soft cotton sheets and messing up the already made bed. Takeni sighed heavily and leaned back; he'd never learned the basics of the ninja way, yet he somehow expected to master an intermediately advanced technique immediately. The only way to describe his naivety would have been amateur. Even a young child just starting at the academy would have known that theory is much more important than diving into a technique right away.

    Takeni took a deep breath. He felt his diaphragm fill with the slightly musty air that filled his apartment; the particles gave the poor boy a coughing fit. Looking around, the kaguya child tried to remember how his grandfather had explained the technique to him as a young boy.

~-~ FLASHBACK ~-~

    Papaw, Takeni's granddad, sat next to the eight year old on a koa stump. They'd spent the day chopping wood and he figured that it was time to talk to his grandson about his nindo. The leaves blew through the woods, leaving a faint scent in their wake. It was late autumn and the animals had mostly ceased to scurry about the forest floor. Sunlight peered through from the west, reminding Papaw that it would be dark soon. Curious as to what might have caused the boy to sit down rather than going straight back home as they'd planned, the older ninja placed an arm on his grandson's shoulder. "Taktak, what seems to be the problem? I thought that we were going to head back to the village." Heaving a sigh, he waited for the boy to answer as the wind picked up slightly.

    Lifting his head, Takeni smiled and laughed at his grandfather's concerned tone. "Papaw, it's not a big deal. I'm just beginning to wonder if I'll ever be a wonderful ninja like you. Could you tell me a little bit about what it was like?" He asked, trying his very best to guilt trip the old man. His granddad laughed in his gruff voice and stood, wiping some dust and leaves from his garments. "Young Takeni, being a ninja isn't about adventure or action; it's about following your own nindo. Let me tell you a story about a mission I did for the Mizukage once." He said as he trailed off into a long and slightly tiring story about a difficult choice regarding helping his village, or preventing his team member from making a terrible mistake. The story seemed to go on forever.

    About an hour later, long after it had become dark, Takeni's grandpa concluded his story to find the boy asleep. Standing, he woke the eight year old boy and walked with him back to the village. It was well past twilight and Takeni couldn't be bothered to utter a sound. Soon after, the child collapsed on his cot.

~-~ End Flashback ~-~

    Standing up, revitalized with energy, Takeni walked over to the open area of his apartment and closed his eyes. Feeling the moisture in the air of the damp room, he thought about the clouds he'd made previously and inhaled deeply. As the air filled the traveller's lungs, the particles no longer seemed to bother him. A few moments and several handsigns later, opening his eyes, Takeni saw a black cloud about a foot in width and length. Walking over, it was impossible not to question why there was no oil pouring from the cloud. However lacking in function it was, Takeni was overjoyed to finally have a decently sized cloud. Moments later, the boy sat on his bed as the smoggy nimbus dissipated. Soon thereafter, he lost himself in thought once again.
