SUITON: CHIISAIMIZUBAKAHATSU (TINY WATER EXPLOSION) "D" Ranked





[00/10]

Standing atop a rather large hill, Kidori looked out ahead him. A large body of water showing some little mist. Kidori took out a scroll, a rather small one which contains suiton techniques. He read about the particular jutsu he was prepaird to learn, this jutsu was rather a simple jutsu capable of washing away multiple opponents. He read about how it works and how to perform the jutsu. Kidori started building up chakra and performing a string of handseals "WATER EXPLOSION" the water towards him remained stationery nothing was happening. "Damn...perhaps I should be actually on water, who knows let me give it a shot". He moved towards the river and did the famous water surface walking technique, he stood at the middle of the flowing water. He started concentrating on his suiton chakra letting it flow through his feet. He than started forming handseals and let out suiton chakra through his feet.

The water slowly started miniature eruptions that formed bubbles. The jutsu was a work in progress, he started building up chakra again to his feet and performed the required handseals, this time, he applied more chakra to the technique. A mini tidal wave erupted roughly 3 feet would emerge and continued along to river until the end , this gave kido an idea "ofcous, I'll try to stabilize this jutsu and manipulate it" Kidori closed his eyes and slapped his hands together to build up more suiton chakra, when he was satisfied with the chakra, he formed his handseals and gave a little push for his chakra to burst through his feet. The water rised up slowly, he tried to stabilize the jutsu before it collapses, he even applied more chakra, the tidal wave continued to rise up, it rised to perfection, it had the power to wipe out a bison. Kidori was so fulled up with excitement he decided it was target practice time. "that tree over there, I shall obliterate that tree to the kingdom come". He pointed at the tree he was willing to destroy. He was done stabilizing the jutsu, all that was needed was target practice. He started building up chakra, more chakra, he than formed his string of handseals and mixed his chakra with water, the wave was so intense, he used more chakra just to direct the jutsu stabilizing it. The tree went toe to toe with a perfectly executed tidal wave...

The targeted tree seemed to have emerged victorious. The damned tree made the attack seem weak, it just gave the tree a shower. A small grin appeared on Kidori's face. He let out his breath, he watched his breath in the air as it faded against the chilly light breeze that drifted through the rivers of kirigakure. He focused his chakra to his feet, not paying attention to much else, he made a few handseals and hold the last one, he focused alot of chakra to technique, fusing it with water. "water style: water explosion jutsu". The tidal wave rised, rather slow, it was aimed at the tree. Kidori wasnt satisfied, the technique was slow, so he focused some more chakra. The wave was starting to show some speed, it was in the correct height, but is it strong enough? Again Kidori directed the wave to the tree, the tree took a direct hit and shook. Kidori was enlightened, he understood the technique "Ah! I should focus on speed not power" he had the idea that if the wave picked up speed that would grant it power. He greatly focused his chakra to his feet and unleashed his handseals. The chakra that moved from his feet to the water, he made sure it was alot so it can make an explosion of water. The wave rised up to maximum height, this time it carried alot of water with it. He used his chakra to stabilize the water so that it wont fall before hitting the target. He than unleashed more chakra, this chakra made the wave fast, it was very fast that it would worry any shinobi that had an encounter with this technique. It was tidal wave vs the tree who would win?

Try to put a bit more length into each of your training posts. If your first and second posts had been combined, with maybe a paragraph more, I would have called it +10. You're on the right track, it just needs a little bit more and you'll be there.

The wave managed to decimate the tree, much to Kidori's joy, he learned that the tidal wave must be 5 feet tall and the speed must reach up to 10km/h. He decided to take a break because he used alot of chakra during his previous attempt. He went to his house and started eating everything that his fridge had. Immediately after eating, he went for bed and slept like a baby, exhausted.

He woke up the next day at 10:00 and had so much energy in him, instead of brushing his teeth, he went straight to the source of his technique the river. He inhaled the breeze with his nose and exhaled with his mouth. He started focussing suiton chakra making it one with his feet, he than made handseals to release the chakra to the water, decent chakra that is. A tidal wave of 3feet emerged with the speed of 8km it was directed to no where, just to follow the river. Kidori was so annoyed of performing the same technique and failing over and over again. He focused suiton chakra again gathering more, releasing the chakra with handseals. A tidal wave emerged in the blink of an eye, it was 4feet tall and 9km fast. It went along with the river, after all kidori was just observing how fast the technique is. He was satisfied but not satisfied enough until he saw the wave hit a living creature. A thirsty bison decided to have a drink at the river. A small smirk on Kidoris face, one that would worry the most sensitive of people. He focused his chakra to his feet, the chakra spent was a D ranked amount, he unleashed it with handseals stabilizing it and utilizing his chakra quite precisely. A 5 feet tall wave rised and headed straight at the bison, an OMG look on the bisons massive face as he saw a wave coming straight at him out of no where. It hit the bison with full force and strength, which caused the bison to tumble upside down, hurt.

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

Kidori had moved onto the water and was now sitting on top of it with his eyes closed. He was focusing his concentration on his next jutsu. He was going to learn another water jutsu, a C-rank, that would allow him to make water clones of himself. This jutsu would be useful as a distraction, to take on multiple opponents at once, allow him to maintain certain jutsus, and too many other uses to think of. It would be very useful to him in both combat situations as well as training situations. It would be a great jutsu to have in his arsenal and he was sure it would come in handy in a lot of situations.

Kidori opened his eyes and stood up, looking over the water. It was time to get down to business. He pictured an image of himself in his mind and then concentrated his chakra into his hands, performed the needed seals, and then released his chakra. A figure began to rise out of the water in front of him. At first, it was only a figure of pure water, but then it began to form into a human figure. The figure looked a lot like him, but it was not exactly perfect yet. There were still things that would give him and the clones away, and he needed to work on that. He just needed to practice it a bit more for a while.

He let the clone fall back into the water and focused more this time. He needed it to be perfect, there could be no noticeable differences or it would be for nothing. He gathered the chakra and performed the seals, and then executed the jutsu. The clone again rose out of the water in its watery form and then formed into the image of him. It was better but there was still something about his eyes that did not seem right. They were not his eyes; they had too much life, too much emotion. He released it once again and began to try again. He would try over and over until he got the clones perfect. He would not give up until he got it correct. After a bit of practice, he had perfected the look of the clone. It was now impossible to tell the difference between Kidori and his clones. That was important for when using the jutsu in a combat situation. If anything gave away the original from a clone or a clone form the original, then it could ruin a whole plan. A big reason for using this jutsu was to allow for a clone to create a situation where Kidori was able to deceive his opponent. Such a deception could allow him to catch his opponent off guard or all him to escape a deadly blow. It really could be the different between winning and losing as well as life and death in a combat situation.

Now that the basic of the jutsu were complete, he just needed to find its uses and limits. He wanted to find the limit of how many clones he would be able to create, how strong the clones were, and how well he could use and coordinate them, among other things. It was important to know the limitations and exact uses of a jutsu before using it in any actual combat situation. He had already learned that there can be unexpected limitations that if not know, could end up getting the user of a jutsu killed. Whether it was using up too much chakra, failing to perform a jutsu exactly as wished, or even losing the feeling of a limb as had happened to him in his previous training. It was always best to know all the info you could about your jutsu, which would allow you to effective use it in combat.

[KRATOS]

Kidori planted his feet and prepared to create more clones. He gathered his chakra and performed the seals, creating a second one. He could feel the drain on his chakra and knew he would not be able to handle creating too many of them at once. He had the chakra to create another, but it would use up the rest of his chakra, and he needed chakra to be able to perform other jutsus while using his clones. He also did not want to stretch his chakra too thinly, as there was always the risk of dying if he completely ran out of chakra at any point. He was sure he would only be able to create a few more. He created another and then another, bringing the clone count up to four clones and he was really starting to feel the strain of doing so. He created the final one, bringing the grand total to five clones, and knew at that moment that it was his absolute limit at the time. If he used any more, he would not be able to efficiently use jutsus and was putting himself in too much danger with his chakra.

He released the clones, now knowing the limits of how many he would be able to create. Five was his limit for now, but he was sure he could increase the number if he worked at using his chakra more efficiently. For now though, he believed that would be plenty for most situations he would be in. He would increase the numbers at a later date if he felt it would be necessary. For now, he was going to continue to find his limits and uses to make sure he could effectively use the clones. Next he was going to test how far away from him a clone could travel before he lost control of it and it returned to water. This would be important if he and his clones got separated from each other.

He gathered the chakra, performed the seal, and a clone emerged from the water before him once again. He told it to move away from him until he lost control of it. It did not get very far before he did lose control and it reverted back into its water form and then completely back into water, falling back into the rest of the water around it. He made a note of the distance it was able to travel, just in case the info would become useful to him in the future. There were plenty of possibilities of him getting split up from his clone, whether it was by accident or by his opponent driving them apart. In any case, even if it didn’t become useful, he still had that info, just in case.

Now that he knew his main limits with the jutsu, he wanted to test its abilities in battle. He created another clone and stood face to face with it. He told it to come at him with everything it had. As expected, its attacks were limited and its power was less than that of his own power. In an actual one on one combat, it would not be able to hold its own very well, unless the opponent was on a much lower level than kidori. That being said, with numbers they could be formidable and there uses went far beyond basic combat anyways. They would no doubt be useful however they ended up being used.

Another thing he wanted to test out was his ability to work well in a team comprised of him and his clones. He prepared a multi strike sequence of attacks that would use each of the clones to take turns striking at targets in a creative and complex manner he had designed. After thinking up the attack formation, he created the five clones and they together struck the multiple targets he had set up one by one. They executed the move perfectly and each opponent was struck and taken out. It would be a lot different in actual combat, and he would most likely not be using them for melee combat in the first place, but it had merely been a test of cooperation.

[KRATOS]

Post 3[??/30]

So far he had learned a lot about his clones during his training, all information that he would note for later use during combat situations. He just needed to learn a few more things about the jutsu and he would be able to use it to the best of his ability with some training on top of his current training. H would be able to know when to deploy his clones and when not to in certain situations. He would know their strengths and weakness and use them accordingly He would practice with them more knowing there limitations and perfecting plans of use for them, and would only use them when he had perfected exactly how to use them.

Now there were just a few more things he needed to learn about his clones. He would spar with them for real this time and see how well they handled a combat situation at the current time. He performed the justu and created three clones in front of him. He would test there durability against multiple attacks and see how well they could dodge, defend, counter, and overall react to his attacks. One thing he wanted to see was how much damage was needed for them to revert to their water form. He did not expect them to be able to take much before they did so. It was important to know however, to see how best to position and use the clones in actual combat.

He threw a kunai at the first clone. It was caught completely off guard and before it could even move it was hit. The kunai flowed thru it and it fell back into its water form and into the water. The other two jumped back, preparing themselves now for Kidori’s next attack. He performed the hand seals and called the tiny water explosion beneath his feet. As he reached the top of it, he began to attach explosive tags on his kunai. The explosive kunai flew towards them quickly. They both tried to doge it, but one of them was not able to get out of the way in time. It must have turned back into its water form and became part of the tiny water wave, as there was no sign of it anywhere.

He jumped off the top of the wave and released it. The water from the jutsu created large waves below Kidori as it fell back down into the surrounding water. Kidori landed for a moment on top of one of the large waves, he placed his hand on the hilt of his katana as he hit, and used it to leap forward onto the water at a run. He drew the katana as he ran towards the last clone. He reached into his butt bag with his other hand and hurled a few shuriken at the clone. The clone also drew its katana as well and deflected the shuriken, then prepared itself for a clash. Once Kidori reached the clone, they began to clash over and over, katanas meeting over and over again, until Kidori drove his katana straight through the clone’s stomach. The clone turned to water and returned back to the rest of the water around it. Kidori sheathed his katana and then sat down on the water.

The clone in actual battle would not hold up too well against well trained shinobi. They revered back to their water form after receiving a direct hit from a jutsu or physical attack. Though he knew that it could very well allow him to escape certain death or catch someone off guard by using them. They weren’t terrible in combat and they could fool someone into thinking that they were kidori. In that time, where the clone became him in the opponent’s eyes, he would escape or take advantage of the opening to strike at them. Either way, the clones would serve that purpose for him and that was plenty of reason for him to know and use the jutsu.

The clone seemed rather weak when it comes to inflicting physical damage. It did inflicted little damage and was weak when the katanas clashed. All the clone needed was a bit more chakra to stabilize it.

Kidori, once more created two water clones, the clones were created roughly 5 metres away from Kidori. It was a stare down between the creator and the created. Kidori engaged them in hand to hand combat only just to get closer and not attack just dodge a series of punches and kicks. He noticed the clones were slow in hand to hand combat, they all had a brief halt. Kidori increased the amount of chakra the clones already had, making the water harder. The clones charged at Kidori at a decent speed, now they acted like kidori and moved like kidori. A 5 combo move managed to hit kidori at the mid section. The attacks were painful and hard now for the causing kidori to cough out blood. Kidori stood up and wiped away the blood on his lips. Now for the next step he needs the clones to perform suiton ninjutsu. He sacrafised a D ranked amount of chakra giving it to the clones. He then ordered the clones to perfom the tiny water explosion, the clones preformed the necessary handseals and managed to utilize the tiny water explosion perfectly

After a bit of rest, Kidori returned to his spot on the water to begin his next bit of training. He wanted to challenge himself this time and decided to take on a higher level jutsu, a B ranked Jutsu, which was one rank above the Justu he had been learning. He knew exactly the jutsu he wanted to learn too, one that would suit him perfectly. He prepared himself for the long tainting ahead of him for this next jutsu.

His first step would be to focus on his weaknesses, which had been what it had come down to in his previous trainings, which were the internal control of his chakra and the external control of his chakra in the jutsu. He had difficulty with these areas even in the lower level jutsus, and they would be even more important in this higher level jutsu. This jutsu was on a whole new level and the skills required would have to be on that same level as well.

First he decided to start with his chakra and controlling it internally. He would need to release much more chakra than before for this new jutsu. He would need to learn how to harness and release enough power if he would have any chance with this new jutsu. He concentrated on reaching deep down and drawing up his chakra, until he drew what felt like enough chakra for the jutsu.

Next, he harnessed the chakra that he had drawn up from within him. He allowed it to fill him up before he released it. The chakra had no control yet, so it just burst outwards from him, leaving the water rippling around him. He had completed step one successfully, bring up, harnessing, and releasing the required chakra.

Now that he had drawn out the power of his chakra, now he just needed to be able to control that power. He would need extra control to control the large chakra, to be able to manifest the suiton chakra into the shape of the jutsu and retain its power. The control will be important in both the manifestation and the maintaining of the Jutsu.

Yet again, he dug deep within himself and drew out the same chakra as before. This time though, instead of releasing the power without control, he manifested the chakra into suiton energy. He then concentrated this suiton chakra into both of his hands. He concentrated it without sacrificing the power he had gathered. Again he released the power, but this time it had been concentrated and converted to suiton. The chakra instantly showed an improvement in both power and stability.

[KRATOS]

[??/80]

After taking a bit of a break to recover his energy, he returned to his training. Now that he had worked with his chakra and control some more, it was time to apply it to the jutsu. It was one thing to use the chakra the way he had, but it was completely different when using it within a jutsu. Everything had to be perfect or the justu would suffer as a result.

First of all, he wanted to see how close or far off he was in terms of skill by performing the jutsu. This was something he had already started doing, because it allowed him to see both his strengths and weaknesses in a jutsu. He planted his feet and drew upon the large amount of chakra, like he had learned to do during the last step of his training. He used the control he had also learned to concentrate and convert the chakra into suiton chakra focused in his hands. He performed the seals for the jutsu and then released the chakra while also trying to control it. A disfigured projectile, of water, burst from beneath the surface of the water. It lacked the power needed, and had not been controlled nearly as well as needed.

Kidori stood there contemplating what had gone wrong and how to fix it. The jutsu needed more chakra to be able to form its shape and to maintain its power. He would need to dig even deeper down and be able to draw out and control an even larger amount of chakra. The control in terms of its shape could wait until his next step in the training. The most important thing was to get the chakra right, because without that, control would still be pointless.

He planted his feet once more and searched deep within himself and drew out the power he needed. He made sure to use his internal chakra control at this point to concentrate his chakra and prevent dissipation of the chakra as he did so. He performed the needed seals. He again used his control as he released the chakra, so that all of the chakra would go into the jutsu. Another projectile shot out of the water traveling away from him. This one was just as misshapen as the last one, but obviously larger and more powerful. It struck the water ahead of Kidori and the impact caused waves to ripple away from the collision point.

He sat down to think, which he had come to realize is when he does his best thinking. He thought about the jutsu and it still seemed as if something was missing. The full power of the justu just didn’t seem to be there yet. He felt he had put in the right amount of chakra, but thought maybe the extra power would come from the control or maybe it was just that he needed more practice.

[KRATOS]

[??/80]

After sitting for a bit, resting and thinking about the jutsu, he decided to start the next step of his training. Now that he had gotten control of the needed chakra for the size and strength of the jutsu, he just needed to control it. This would probably be one of the hardest parts for Kidori. He has learned by now that control Is not his strong suit. He had potential to be powerful, but control was the thing he would need to work on the most. There seemed to be no better way to start accomplishing that then to finish this stage of the jutsu.

He stood up once again and readied himself to perform the jutsu. He would try and control it as best he could, to see how much work was going to be needed. He used what he had learned in the previous step to draw upon his power and concentrated it into his hands before performing the hand seals. Just as it had before, the projective exited the water with the same size and power. This time though, the chakra did seem to be more concentrated. It also seemed to be in the rough shape of some creature with large teeth. It did not, however, look anything like the dragon it was supposed to be, but it was a start at least.

He imagined the jutsu once more and thought about what control he was missing. It was a large and powerful jutsu and along with the shape, the micro control all over it almost seemed impossible. He had to sit down once more to think what needed to be done next, to get the jutsu to the next level. An idea suddenly came to him as he sat there. What if, instead of trying to manage it all as individual parts, he treated it all as one thing? Imagine what it would look like and form that control around the jutsu and concentrate the power in that way. It really seemed like his only chance at moving forwards.

He stood back up again and began to draw out his power and concentrated it into his hands. He imagined a dragon form rising out of the water. With that image in mind and the chakra in his hands, he performed the seals needed. He released the chakra and maintained his control as the projectile left the water. It was still rough, but it did look a lot more like a dragon that time. He would just need to tighten the control of certain areas of the jutsu to perfect the control of the jutsu.

With the improvements in mind, he concentrated the chakra and pictured the dragon. He performed the seals and released the chakra once more. This time, a clear dragon, made out of water, rose from the surface of the water. The shape seemed to almost be perfect, but it did seem to lack stability. That is what he would need to work on in his next step of training. As he thought about that, the water dragon crashed back to the water, causing significantly larger waves this time. The jutsu was coming along nicely.

[KRATOS]

??/80

Kidori walked back onto the water where he had been training, after having taken another break. The break was over now, though, and it was time to get back to work. Now that he had gotten the jutsu to this stage, because of his training, it was starting to look and feel like the actual jutsu. The only thing still missing was the ability to keep it stable. At that point, it seemed to be about a 50/50 chance that the jutsu would succeed or completely collapse.

He sat down to think about what needed to be done to stabilize the jutsu. He had had the idea of using one large outer shape to control the shape and power of the jutsu in the previous step, but now he needed to take that technique to the next level. He needed to make sure the chakra was equal all over the dragon as well as keeping the chakra moving constantly. He had come to understand that that was the secret of stabilizing that justu, when using his method to control it. Without those two things, the jutsu could not be mastered.

Now it was time to give it a shot, too see how well he could apply his theory. He knew what to do in theory, but he had already learned that theory and application where quite different things. He stood back up and remembered everything he had learned up until then and readied himself. He drew the power needed, concentrate it in his hands, imagined the dragon’s outline compressing the power. This time, though, he made sure every part was even and tried to picture the chakra moving around the jutsu. He then performed the seals and released the chakra. The dragon rushed out of the water like before, kidori trying to keep the chakra even and moving.

The dragon exploded in mid air and the water rained back down all around kidori. In his attempts to stabilize the jutsu, he had made a mistake that had caused him to lose control of the dragon completely. In an attempt to control the jutsu further, he had added another tricky part to maintain, and had lost control over it. Making the jutsu more advanced was bound to bring such a situation. He would need to focus even harder. He would need to be able to hold the dragon’s shape and move the chakra all at the same time, maintaining as equal concentration on both parts. This made maintaining the jutsu even more difficult, but was needed to perfect it.

He concentrated even harder this time and imagined the dragon clearly while at the same time the moving nature of the chakra. He concentrated the chakra, performed the seals, and then released the chakra just like the image in his mind. The dragon flew out of the water, looking almost perfect, with the chakra ration all around maintained and the chakra moving around the dragon constantly. It was difficult to maintain at that moment, but with practice it would get easier and become more natural to him.

[KRATOS]

[??/80]

Now all he needed to do was refine everything he had learned in the previous steps, to make sure the dragon would be performed and maintained perfectly. More chakra still needed to be released, better control was still needed, and he still need to work on the stabilizing effect. Once he is done fine tuning these things, he would only have a few more things to learn before he could learn the completed jutsu.

Now that he had learned all the basics of performing the jutsu, he needed to go back and perfect each of the previous steps. The first step he would perfect would be his chakra and his internal control of it. There was still not enough chakra going into the jutsu to make it truly powerful. What he needed to do was both draw out even more, but more importantly, he needed to control his internal chakra better. The less control he had, the more chakra is wasted when using a jutsu, which means more chakra, is needed but not used. So kidori’s problem was not the chakra so much, but the internal chakra control it took to use it effectively. He still needed to work on an effective conversion

He first drew out his chakra, and made sure he didn’t lose chakra as he concentrated it into his hands. He did it more carefully this time that usual, focusing extra on the control and less on the chakra itself. He was able to convert it well enough that he only lost a minuscule amount of chakra during the conversion. Next he needed to release the chakra, and maintain his control as he did so. He had no problem in the release of the power of the chakra in this part, but it was also the part that he lost a large part of his chakra when using a jutsu. He was able to focus more on it and carefully controlled his chakra as he released it.

After some more time practicing his internal control, he had finally begun to perform normally without losing more than a tiny bit of chakra in the process. Next though, he would work on perfecting his control over the chakra while it is outside of his body, allowing him to control and maintain jutsus more easily. What he needed most out of his training was to be able to control the jutsu without having to focus too much on it. It would be hard to focus so much in a combat situation, and would be dangerous to do so in the first place. So he just needed to perform the jutsu, concentrating less and less on the control of it each time. He began to practice, which would be the key to success. Once he had practiced it enough, the control would come to him instinctively.

[KRATOS]

Post 6[??/80]

After practicing for a bit altering with some rest and food, Kidori had finally gotten the control down, allowing him to perform the jutsu without focusing too much on the control of the chakra and the shape. All that was left now was to perfect the stabilization of the jutsu. He had obviously worked on it while he was working on his control, but something was still something wrong with it, it still didn’t allow the jutsu to be as powerful as it should have been. He had finally realized what the problem was on his last use of it. He was not moving the chakra around the jutsu fast enough. It was allowing for moments of instability, throwing off the overall power of the jutsu.

In order to correct the spin of the outside of the justu, he had done the obvious thing and had attempted to spin it faster. However, when he tried to do this, it through off his control completely and the justu once again exploded in mid air. This explosion was even more powerful than the last time he had lost control of the jutsu, sending water raining down in a large area around him. The faster spinning had disrupted the layer of chakra controlling the jutsu, ripping right through it. He would need to find a way to control the spin without it tearing a whole in the layer of chakra around the dragon.

He sat down once more to think about the best way to deal with the situation at hand. He needed the chakra to spin that quickly, but it broke the very control that it was supposed to be containing. The problem was that it was hard to maintain a spin on a shaped object that had corners where the spinning chakra would cut into each other. Then he realized how he could fix it. He would have to spin each corner at opposite directions, with one side only having a slightly higher speed. This would allow the chakra to slow down he chakra at those point but still maintain the spinning needed to control it. It was a complex solution that would take a lot of concentration and skill.

He stood back up once more and closed his eyes. He imagined the dragon in his mind and the spinning. He then located every point that needed the proposed solution and made a mental note of it. There were so many points, but he knew he could still do it. He executed the jutsu with the points in mind and the dragon sprung from the water, in perfect shape, the chakra spinning quickly all over it but without breaking the surface. He had done it, he had been able to maintain it, but it was difficult. It required too much focus at the time, and would need a lot of practice to make the jutsu stable without having to think about it. So his only solution was to start on that training right away.
