Prayer of Bears [training]

[祈]

Inori had taken well to flower picking. It seemed like the thing to do these days. She lied being out in the green where she felt alive. Not to mention that her father seemed very preoccupied recently. Which was to her benefit, she had decided that if she was to have these vines around, she might as well, use them too, which was a change of pace.

As she moved around on her vines like a spider she continued to gather flowers in her meadow. Using her shoulder, feet, and stomach vine as a balance she was able to crawl much like a insect, making her hover over everything in search of the flowers.

As she continued her search she suddenly noticed something moving on the far side of the opening. She crept towards it, and did her best not to make a sound. Ahead of her was a very large bear. Inori bit her lip in excitement. Something in her wanted to run free and strangle the bear to prove herself but she held back.

Into used her vines to wiggle along the ground feeling for pitfalls and the finger tentacles extended to latch would the tree to hold her back. She then used the vine in her stomach to balance her out and keep her from swaying as the vines extended toward the bear.

The bear sniffed the wind, and in that moment where the bear closedit's eye to suck in oxygen, Inori struck like a snake! The vines lashed in a flurry of speed. The vines on the ground snapped around the legs of the beast, followed by the fourteen smaller yet just as fast vines from her hands. They struck swiftly and wrapped around the bear's paws and waist.

Inori groaned as she pulled on the bear, being anchored to the tree, and yanked it to the ground. The bear's head knocking against the hard valley floor under them. The bear chuffed in anger. As it struggled under the bindings, Inori tightened her grip trying to lash a vine and wrapp up the Bears muzzle.

As she tied up the bear she then ran up the tree when the vines in her finger came to a halt. She needed more room. More distance to manipulate her vines. She charged them with chakra, the roots taking a deeper dig into her veins. She struggled as the bear pulled back, it's weight giving it the pull it needs to stand back up as her vines slackened.

The bear began to stand and try to yank her back to the earth. Contesting the strength of the bear she sent butterflies to hover around it's face, the butterflies queen in trouble of being pulled from a tree. Giving herself enough time to regain her composure she shot chakra into he fingers and feet, protesting her vine's limits and forced the, to grow.

The vines ran thicker, and the hold tighten once again, making this now a tug of war with the mighty animal, one Inori knew she would soon have to abandon despite her growing vines.

The bear began tearing at the vines, ripping them from its paws first and soon it's muzzle was again loose. With that the bear made it's way, now standing to the tree where Inori was perched.

Inori struggled as the much larger bear pulled and ripped the vines attempting to yank her out of the tree and free itself. her finger vines scrambling to latch onto the tree, along with her stomach and shoulder vines, the only thing holding the bear from climbing op the tree now were a pair of feet vines tangled around the animal's feet.

Inori wormed her way a few more branches up the tree and strained to keep herself aloft. As she tugged her vines pulled on her chakra, forcing her to withdraw the ones she wasn't using to keep attached to the tree. As she held onto the tree her vines instinctively started looking for nourishment.

Inori almost fell backwards into the bear's jaws when she suddenly felt energy, a green, healing energy coming from one of her vines. it trickled into her bloodstream like warm honey in a tea. it made her fingertip warm with new energy and fuel her body needed to keep going.

Though she was not straining too much to stay afloat, the new stream of chakra, and life-force as enough to give Inori an idea. She was guessing that the vine which was feeding her energy, was not the only vine in her body that could do such. That and while she didnt know the direct source, she figured it had to be from the earth below her. using the tree as some kind of link. How was she drawing power from the earth?!

Regardless, she thought as the Bear began raging below her now, stranding on it's hunches to rawr at her, she had to act quickly or she was going to be defeated by this lumbering animal. She then touched her hand lightly against the tree she was standing on and tried to copy the flow she had felt just a few moment earlier.

As she did, closing her eyes, and doing the best she could to keep the bear out of her mind, attempted to recreate the feeling of health and healing that had come from the tree. As she did such her finger vines, like young bean spouts tenderly hugger the bark on the tree. then from the tree, a green-blue aura began to come from her vines.

The chakra came slowly from the tree, feeding first her vines, healing the tears and yanking force they just had on them, and then into her fingertips. As that happened the strain in her muscles slowly began to melt away, and the bruises on her arm returned to their natural earthy tone.

As the vines stole their chakra something else happened as well. the bark began to grow hollow and decay. The bark falling off and turning black like it had been burned. Inori stood in astonishme-

The tree suddenly shook with overwhelming force as the bear began beating the twig with its massive paws. raking it's talons across the bark and howling after Inori enraged, filled with power, and overcome with instinctual rage, after having been attacked by Inori's suffocating vines. Inori stumbled and her vines retracted into her fingers but some ten inches allowed her to stumble and fall down to the ground with the bear.

Now on the ground with an angry bear the size of a car, Inori rollec and avoided damage. She was lucky at best. Still feeling tingly from the fall, she could have fallen to her death. As she stood and her hair tossed over her shoulder her brown eye glowed vengeance on the bear. her Vines spitting out her shoulders and stomach to fast it caused a blur.

The bear still standing rawred back in defiance as the hyper speedly vines lashed around its paws and neck. Inori growled. The wild monster inside of her growled and her teeth bared with a new pointedness it would seem at the bear. The chaotic was beginning to show itself. As she flashed her vine at the bear, the vines instantly began again what Inori had tried to start just a moment earlier. Whither this was out of reflex or out of practice, the lines had become blurred.

Hissing Inori yanked at the animal's life force. Feeling the pulsing chakra inside of the being who she had ensnared. Like a fury she tore at that power attemnpting to drag it down, feeling the new energy pulsing through the vines back into her body. The stomach vine glutting itself on the bear's energy.

The bear tore at the vines, but Inori was too fast. She whipped out her finger vines and the three embedded in her palms and grabbed the bear's right paw, and thre yanked with her foot vine which was still hooked around it's left leg. this caused the bear to stumble backwards as the syphoning vines continued to pull sweet healing power back into her body.

The bear lazy eyes and furious at first opened wider in suprise as the sucking of health matched the pull on it's body, causing it to fall. Inori then shot out her other full hand of vines, every vine on her body working to ensnare and drain life from the bear. But being a deadly animal and not willing to turn over the state of living to Inori just yet it rolled over in a grunt and rawr, which tore a few vines from their place before ripping the other in a last cornered fit of strength.

There they stood twenty feet from eachother the Bear tired, but bigger and stronger. Inori smaller, faster and filled with the bear's energy, which she had managed to pull out in their little brawl. The bear began running toward Inori, it's brown fur snubbing the three vines which had managed to hold on. Inori shrieked in response once again launched all her vines in a classic stand off between two diverging forces of wild nature.

The vines struck the bear in the side, Knocking the wild animal off kilter. The bear responded by pounding the ground and yanking Inori toward him with the vines still attached. Inoti shot her shoulder vines to grab the tree, and keep her from the bear's jaws, but too late it raked its extended claws along her left arm, and down her hip.

Exposed she smacked the bear and held its snout with her stomach vine, gripping it with an odd animalistic strength. she then pulled strength from the tree, hoping to feld off the bleeding in her hip, and arm.

[祈]

??/30 Inori worked her hands, her fingers flailing and her back aching from the effort. Though slowly the chakra was beginning to return to her body, but at too slow a pace to be of much use at this point. She needed to figure something out and fast. She refused to back down, and drew on the tree constantly for strength.

Noting That she didn't really have much fighting experience her intuition was only going to take her so far. She needed something to attack with, something to defend herself with. She knew the bear was tired, but needed some time to let her body heal. So she surged chakra into her vines, and in an instant let go of the bear, and flung herself haphazardly away from the behemoth.

Skidding on the ground her eyes watered as the speed of her leap chucked her across sod, branches and into a gland smashing her against a tree in the side where she had been slashed by the bear. She tried to stand and made it holding her head in dizziness. She. Crawled along the floor of the glade, hoping to put some space between her and the bear so she could collect herself and heal a bit. She found a spot by a large oak tree, and quickly wrapped her shoulder, and stomach vine around it. Leaving her fingers to search over the shallow yet painful gash in her arm and hip.

As she sat there she worked to slow her breathing. Focusing on taking back health and energy from the tree. She seeped healing powers from it slowly, and made sure to weaken the tree as a whole instead of killing it around the trunk. If she killed it slowly it would have a chance at surviving like her after she left it. She continued to watch her breathing and keep the Jutsu going she focused on the energy she was absorbing.

While blue it had a strong tinge of green making it a deep forests green hue. The chakra running along her vines like Veins and then healing her as a whole. She noticed then that she could direct within reason the area of the healing to an extent but not focus it into a point. For as her wound on the leg healed, the arm did as well. Not.
She couldn't make it heal one before the other but make her leg go faster than her arm or vice versa.

Wincing at the pain she picked pieces of fur and hair from the bleeding throbbing slit on her arm, and tried to stay still. She just needed to get the bleed ending to stop, luckily she didn't think she had any major injuries. Yet she knew if she fought the bear, which she still fully intended to do, she would have to do with more energy than what she had now. So she continued absorbing energy, and making the tree grow weaker.

Finally her head cleared and she turned back to look at the tree. The leaves were drooping slightly, but she had a clear enough head to get back up and regroup before the monster of a bear came back. She was convinces that she could prove stronger than the bear if she could just get stronger right here and now. Inori was noticing she worked best under duress, or by intuition. 

Almost like she was letting the moster free.

Almost.

She then bit her lip and kept her stomach vine tied around the tree. She was going to have to do something about this whole bear thing, but she needed the strength she was gaining from the tree. Steady more and more every moment she closed her eyes standing and worked to come up with a battle plan. She couldn't be tied down, and she needed to face that bear head on. 

After a moment she figured the best course of action would be to wait a short moment longer and then see what happens what to do. She needed to be in the moment, not controlled by the panic that can take over, if she stayed there. So she sat back down, ran the vines along her body to add camouflage, and focused on stealing tree's precious life force.

She wanted to keep the poor tree alive and not kill it. But she knew she needed the strength. for some reason though it pained her to take from this strong little tree. Thick though it was it was lacking root and needed more sun that some of the other trees were robbing from it. Yet she was robbing from it too. 

Feeling almost sad sad for the tree, she shot out her shoulder vines and wrapped around two more close trees siphoning power and life from them as well. She wanted to distribute her intake bud feared she didn't have much time and tugged at the life inside each of the three trees. Pulling out the Heath sapping the strength in it's bark and leaves. She watched as leaves slowly fluttered to the ground as she drained the little trees around her.

suddenly she hear a snap. The sound of a twig breaking and dead leave

RAAAAAWRAGH!!!
The bear bellowed in front of her. She had been focusing so much in the trees she had neglected to keep a better lookout for the massive animal. And now she was there tied to three trees by her own design and face to face with the bear. The bear who wanted her tree sapping vine wielding self dead.

The bear scratched the ground at her. Pawing it and her on. She bit her lip and rolled her shoulders forcing herself to be ready, forcing herself to...

STRIKE! Inori whipped her left hand across the space, extending her vines and thickening them as big as she could to make them strong and heavy. The smacked the bear across ther face. Inori didn't waist a moment and as the first vine crossed the ugly bear's face, the second of them, entertained like a while came from above and down on the bear's square head. Bashing it with all the weight Inori could muster. Hoping to beat the bear back.

The bear winced at the pain and charged her. Inori dodged to the side and smacked her left and right hand into the bear's side. But, it just bounced right off. Not doing a think to the beast. As she dodged she had her shoulder vine snag a high branch and whip her like a sling shot, her body whipping in a arch around the tree, the centricical force weighing on the vines Inori continued to add weight too, and making the end heavy. Then as the bear turned around

Bam! Into struck with all the force and weight she had compounded and smacked the belly of her hand vines, and nailed the bead in the maw. The bear rolled backwards after being struck so hard. It recalled and felt the pain shoot through it's scalp. While it hurt, it had felt worse. This fight wasn't over.

Inori followed throug and had to come to another tree and using her other shoulder vine and came from behind like a figure eight, vines like pivots whipping her through the air like a harpy in her fury. This time the vines struck the bear in the chest, almost knocking the air out of her lungs. It may have even cracked a rib. The vines seemed to be getting harder, and Inori was using that we it to speed herself up as she whipped around the trees like a crazy woman.

As she slowed herleft by using her feet vines and belly vine. She felt the uneven weight in her vines, as the hand and Palm vines had grown thick and heavy. The smaller ones would have been thicker than her wrist on each finger. Then again, her wrists weren't that big. Yet the weight and hardness she was feeling was real. The bear was stunned to an extent.

Just then the bear pulled it's feet back under her, and roared at Inori. She had paused too much. She needed to..
No time the bear was seemingly on her in a moment. Claws flashing, and vines fell like chocolate cake before a fat kid on his birthday. The bear tore at her burning with rage and power. Inori used her heavier vines to block, but even they, took only two-three hacks each before falling limply to the ground. Her escaping narrowing with each growl of the massive animal.

[祈]

Inori shrieked as the bear bore down on her. The wild fierce gaze piecing her to the core, only to respond with a wildness to match it. Inori fought the bear off by wildly dashing to the side and succeeded in a crazed bite coming within inches of her face. But Inori kept on. Efusing to give in, refusing to be discouraged and  give into the weight of sluggishness beginning to creep in again.


She launched her vines at the bear. Flailing like a mad woman as she hit the bear with everything she had, left and right, left and right! But no matter what she did the bear pressed on, and she backed up farther and farther into the wood. She tried to focas on making her vines heavier and stronger, but it took to much time, and just as soon as she would the bear would rip through them in its violent rage. 

Soon enough, Inori's arm began to feel weighted down and the seat on her forhead cause it to begin dripping in her eyes. She struggled to keep her footing. Just staying out of the reach of the angry mammal. She began to think she wasn't getting out of this, but soon that idea was taken over again as her monster nature again took control. 

She took two vine spring loaded steps and trust her vines at the bear frim two angles catching the bear in the face to distract it, and then grabbing the bear's two back Leah's with her left hand. They she yanked. Pulling the bear off balance again and causing it to tumble like a rockslide to the dirt, breathing heavily. She then hardened her right hand vine twisting them together like a bat, and listing it at max length over her head smashed the poor creature in the gut. 

Bile and saliva gushed out of the bear's mouth. It's eyes grew small in pain for a moment and Inori registered the anguish on the animals face. She smiled a bit and again lifted her hand and dropped her heavy vine arm on the bear's chest. This time she was sure there was a crack as the vine came down with startling force. 

The he bear cried out in pain and tried to roll over. Inori couldn't let this moment escape though. She quickly used vines from her feet, stomach and even forhead to hold onto the other paws of the bear.  She kept all but her right hand to keep the bear from getting up. She again slammed her vine into the bear mimicking the same motion she had done two time over. 

The he bear whined in pain and injury. Inori bit down on her own pain and continued to beat the bear. She wince as on the third time she bashed the bear's body blood shot from the bear's mouth. This gave her pause, as the bear no longer powerful but beaten and hurt lay on the ground bleeding from its mouth. Its eyes still boring into Inori, its gaze still egging her on. 

She he drove her hammer like vine into the bear one more time before letting go iof it's paws and legs which she held bound. The bear lay near unbreathing in a contorted pile before her. The bone on the bear's ribcage caved in and killing it.

[祈]

Inori stood about five feet away from the collapsed animal her fingersnails digging into her hand and shaking from the fight she was just about to finish. As she stood there her face dotted with dirt, sweat and blood she choked on the air around her. Her pain and what she had just done catching up to her. 

She he then took a step forward, in a sort of wild daze, coming out of the rage and moster like state she was in. But as she stepped forward the bear began to squirm and wiggle. Inori reflexively jumped back and hardened her vines getting ready for the lumbering monster to stand back up. But as it struggled to its feet Inori struck. Not even blinking. She struck, her right hand vine as hard as stone. She flooded her arm with all the strength and rammed it into it's neck.

as she struck, she spun around the other way, and with the rotation and hard heavy vines she slammed her right hand vines again into the beats face. The quick succession of attacks effectively cropping the beast. It's body broken and it bleeding internally. Inori growled and something inside of her snapped. She hardened all her hand vines and taking a second to huff and puff she looked the bear in the eyes.

the bear stared at her. It's nature accepting of it's place. She was the real predictor, and as her lace it was up to to kill her prey. But the place Inori was at was a place of pure wild understanding. She felt no remorse and no pity for the beast. Instead she felt... Something more powerful, more basic than anything she had ever felt. She felt... Bloodlust. Bloodlust and power. She was power, she like the bear were forces of nature. She knew somehow intrinsically that she was now the greater beast.

inori was the greater monster, the greater beast. 

Inori then struck with all intent to kill. Her blows unwavering, her finger and palms twisting in a twisted hairy feeling that comes when stabbing and bludgeoning something to death. Her vines hardened she pummeled the bear. Beating it's head in slamming it's already broken neck with iron hard vines. She pulverized the bear's body relentiously until it began to bleed and no longer quiver from her blows. 

But still she continued. She rammed her vines like stone into the bear's beaten body. Not stopping for rest as pain started forming in her fingers, arms and shoulders. The burn from acid buildup in her body. But she did not relent, nothing would stop her.

Suddenly, a sheik echoed from her lips. The blood from the bear pelt flicking droplets on her face and arms like a dropped bowl of soup in her pretty like dress. Staining it with sanguinary freckles of death. Her face contorted in a snarel. 

Yet she kept on. Nothing stopping her. Nothing holding her back Inori's fury tumbled from her red vines and Crimson arms. She wrapped her ironlike vines around bones and cracked them. Her tendrils ripped hair and fur. Any muscle left untorn was dug out and taken apart like an animal. But weither Inori was a animal or something herself of not was not up for debate.

For if someone saw Inori tear and beat this bear's corpse only one word would come to their mind:

MONSTER.

Just a bit more

[祈]

As she molester the body of the beast before her time seemed to lapse and flow, ebb and eventually the tide of anger and animal ferocity changed. Inori found herself covered in blood, the butterflies sitting a bit off afraid, but accepting.

The instinctively hardened her vines one more time and spread them out before her. The hard vines made her arms hurt, as she had been swinging them wildly, straining her muscles. As they hovered in the air extended from her finger she spun around and calm returning to her eye broke into a run. Effectively hitting everything she passed. 

One of the things she hit was a small swallow's nest. Four of them in fact. Swallows, though small are notoriously mean little animals if their nests are destroyed. They few up into the air and attacked Inori's head.

Inori's slow but strong tentacles reached out and struck the little bird. Crushing it's head. Almost surprised Inori turned to see when she had done. Yet as the next bird flew at her she hit it, bashing it into a tree, making it a little splatter of blood on the truck of the maple. The heavy vine ripping some of the bark off the tree. 

As the next two birds came and attacked her face Inori covered her face with her hands. Yet her vines struck like a whip. Surging chakra to Make a quick Vine, The next two swallowed were whipped from the air in one swipe of her shoulder vine. inori stood there agast as her reflexes and self. 

She touched the vines on her face and stomach. They were strong and hard like stone. the launched one at the tree in front of her and it stabbed into the wood. She noticed the vines could no longer feel and sense things when they were so hard and tense. 

Pulling the vines back, feeling nothing. Inori had bashed and killed with her new vines. they were.. she smashed another swallow, one she might have missed. Inori was not herself, or not her humble at home dignified self. Something bigger was building inside her. Something wild.

Confused, a little afraid, and trying to compose herself she tried to call her butterflies. She pressed her hands together. And began making the signs she would need to summon them too her with her pheromone Jutsu. But the more she tried the more tangled her fingers became. The vines extended in like Chinese finger traps with her fingers connected to the vine. 

She he began to cry and held her hands together in the tiger seal, her hands and knees shaking. She was coming out of this rage and all these emotions were flowing through her. She looked at the swallow's crippled corpse on the ground and try as she might her fingers just would not work. She tried retracting the vines but as her emotional state worsened the worse it got. 

The anger ebbing away like a cruel tide, she began to feel hot tears on her face. the water pecking her cheaks with moist anger and frustration. she needed those butterflies! she tried to focus, aiming to keep her vines from tangling. the ling tentacles making this hard on her. 

Eventually she was able to make another seal, the ox seal. The third seal though felt impossable. the dragon seal was too much for her shaking fingers. she had too much in her. too much growth, to much stuff that wasnt hers. Why was this all comming up now?! she continued to cry and the tears came more freely. 

Inori started over. The seals were done one at a time, slowly as not to be to much. The tiger, the ox, then... dragon almost came but the interlocking fingers still proved to much for her. She hit her knees and began to sob. The choking huffs of air froggedly came out of her throat like a heaving whine. She felt like everything was wrong. She was wrong, this was wrong, and she couldnt make this stupid seal! 

angry and her face hot with frustration and tears she finally managed to make that third seal. the forth also came to her, and the chakraa she had remaining began to trickle into ther hands and mind.she felt it starting to work. Yet, the fifth seal was still hard. 

The long vines stillnot retracting, and her hands clinging together, little beads of blood popped up where she was sqweexing her hand too hard. She held firm and gasped in pain and tear filled depression as the seal finally took. She hated this, why would the vines not retract!?!

Struggling along she worked arduously to make the last seal. her hands shooka dn her was almost hunched over into a ball on the moist mountain sod. the vines propping her up. The seal strained under the extra pressure, and she yelled a little, cursing her stupidity. She really was everything her father said she was. She was a beast, a monster, She had just killed a bear with her own hands.

The panic attack continued and the tried to make herself focus on the seal. her fingers throbbing from exposure to the cold, and the emotions that drained them of energy. they numbly wiggled, and she made the last seal: rat. 

The justu was weak, as the seals were far and few. She heaved a breath of air and abd felt like she was going to hyperventalate. the butterflies came close but still sat away off. She tried again. This time the seals came a little slower, and she felt like it was taking alot more energy than she had. The vines leaching her hope and energy.

As she wove her fingers in and out of the patterns she hoped the butterflies would come closer and help her feel at home. Because right now, she was alone, an alone monster that she could notescape.

Note: A lot of your lines were only a sentence to two sentences long. Perhaps combining these smaller increments to paragraphs as a whole can help you out. Now the reason for the grade is a marginally small amount of actual emphasis on the training itself that I noticed.

Ooc: I'll hold my tongue.

The Jutsu didn't stick, and seeing as she was not putting near enough effort into this she sucked in her breath as to try and gain some composure. She was so angry that despite all her efforts, despite all the emotional stress and detail she had stuffed into her JUTSUS, the only thing that really mattered was time spent practicing something. Time, something she didn't care to think about right now, wishing the quality of her efforts would hold out. 

But out she again put her hands together, hoping this time maybe she could must a little less detail, conflict and stress into what she was doing, blocking everything else out. Her hands still moved irraticly and she had trouble making the first seal, nevertheless she pressed on. She he wound her hands in and out of her palms, weaving the second sigh only took a little longer than did the last one. Her fingers hurt but she yanked on the vines holding her captive and again made the seal next in the list of six seals.

As she struggled she knotted her brow and forced her hands to carry on. She worked to divert chakra away from her vines, collecting it in her hands and then redirect it to the seals she was making. The seals ate up minor amounts of chakra, but the effort rested on how tough this was ignoring her emotional state. For learning a Jutsu is not about emotion nor situation, but is about the ratio of effort put in through diligent physical effort and practice. This thought being reflected in the ardor she made while making the fourth seal while not letting the chakra diverge from the needed path.

Controling her actions and carrying on with the practice, she closed her tear stained eyes, and made the last two seals like one makes the last two steps of a race. Exhaustion creeping in, she refused to stop moving her hands, even if the Jutsu worked. So she started again, this time Controling the chakra flow move fully and entirely diverting the needed energy to souls her hands and not the vines. She clasped her hands together, made the first two seals almost like she would have done without the vines attached, yet she began to struggle again as things progressed.

ignoring her pain, ignoring the frustration and the emotional state she was ins, regardless how maybe how well founded and how needed it was, she kept on. All that mattered was action. Moving keeping alive. With a small burst of will she shoved herself forward, the vines disobeying her as she made the same seals again, starting over, and forcing herself to the third seal. When she got to Tiger she faltered for a moment, almost overcome, yet she pushed on. As she made the seals, the chakra flow continued more fluidly, and the vines didn't seem to require as direct a flow as she made the handseals. 

Moving on, she made the herself repeat what she had done over, over, and over. The rhythm taking over her mind, her thoughts going numb, as the emotions began to die back down. A plague of evenness pervaded and she was able to focus as she had not before. Rat. She finished again, but didn't stop, she began to toss every sign she could think of together, flexing these new muscles of sorts. Tiger, Rat, Dragon, square, east side, Ox, Focus, Flipping the air off, And all she could muster until she felt pause. The chakra welled up inside until she had enough of a good trickle to really try again.

She made the signs, the vines almost intangible to her. One two, three four, five... Six! Ahhhh she wanted to yell. She finished the series of handsigns and let the chakra fly free. Hopefully that was enough to call the insects to her side.
