Sté's Training (Continued, 25/30)

[Giavi, Sté]

Sté was very dissapointed with himself because he isnt able to attend the chunnin exams. So, he's taking this opprotunity to train more with:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu (Mist Clone Skill)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows a user to create clones out of Mist.
Special: Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger
Drawback: ----
Description: A technique which creates clones with the properties of mist. Although the clones are unable to inflict damage on an opponent, any physical attacks attempted on them pass right through. Depending on the user's class level is dependent on how well and how much the user is capable of performing at one given time. If the user is "D" Class they are capable of performing four Clones at once. If the user is "C" Class they are capable of performing eight clones at once. If the user is "B" Class they are capable of performing sixteen clones at once. If the user is "A" Class they are capable of performing thirty two clones at once. If the user is "S" Class they are capable of performing sixty four clones at once. If the user is to be considered a non NinJutsu specialist the number is reduced by two for every class level that the user becomes, and if the user is a NinJutsu Master the number increases by two for every class level they become.
Limit: Water Release

"Alright I guess its time to turn my attention to NinJutsu rather then Taijutsu." Sté braced himself and placed his hands into position. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger." He performed the hand seals but nothing happened. "Wow, I suck at this." Sté's hand seal speed was slightly off, he was too slow. "Alright. Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger" Sté focused his chakra a little harder this time but still nothing happened. He stood there and looked around a bit. A chilly wind brushed against his face. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger!" He performed the hand seals very fast while focusing his chakra. Two clones appeared bedside him. "Awesome." He smiled. "But still, that took way too much effort." The two clones faded off. "Hm? That was quick, am I not using enough chakra?" He sighed to himself while performing the hand seals again: "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger!" Two mist clones appeared next to him. Sté ran forward and the clones followed behind him. They would then fade off again. Sté stopped running. "Hm, I think I get it now." Sté performed the hand seals again. Two mist clones appear next to him. "Alright!" Sté
runs ahead and the clones run behind him. Sté hits a cart wheel and two back flips into the air. The clones mirror Sté's exact moves then fade off. "Perfect, with the clones copying my movements, I might have a good chance at confusing my opponents." Sté stood there and pondered this strategy for a second. "Ok, lets continue." Sté placed his hands into position and at that moment, he could tell that his chakra had decreased
at a quicker rate than usual. "Hm? Is it possible that my chakra
reserves are too small for me to continue?" Sté shrugged his shoulders and performed the hand seals again. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger!" Two mist clones appeared next to him. He stood there and the two clones ran off ahead. They criss crossed through one another and attacked wildly into the air with a kick and a punch. Sté nodded his head in approval. "Yeah, that seems about right; out of control with style." Sté paused for a second and stared off into space. He cleared his throat and got into his dance like fighting stance. He ran at full speed and performed the hand seals. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger!" He yelled at the top of his voice trying to pour all of his chakra into the clones. The two clones appeared next to him running at about the same speed as him. Sté sees a tree in the distance and runs for it. The clones line up behind him. Sté focuses his chakra into his feet and runs up the tree. Before he reaches the top, he bends his knees and leaps off of it in a diagonal direction. He hits various kinds of flips and spins high into the air. He gracfully lands with a long skid across the ground and looks to see if the clones copied him. The clones ran up the tree and faded off right then and there. Sté had an annoyed looked on his face at this time. "How much chakra do I have to pour in? I'm nearly out after that little fiasco." Sté cratches the back of his neck while thinking of a more proper way to perform the jutsu. It was evident that he needed more training. He closed his eyes and placed his hands into position once more. Trying to gather as much chakra as posible, he would direct the clones to do the same tree flip off that he done not too long ago. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger." He performed the hand seals and the two clones appeared. He stood there with a stern look on his face, the clones got into a single file line and ran towards the tree. They each stopped at the exact same spot that Sté had and jumped off of the tree, performing similar flips but at a slower rate with less altitude. Sté nodded his head and watched as the clones landed and faded
off. "Hm, concentration is more important then throwing all of your
chakra out there."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sté rested up a bit before continuing with his training. "This is
seriously boring, but it must be done." He stretched his arms and legs and tried to figure out where he should practice next. ".....I know!" Sté needed as much stimulation as possible in order for him to stay intrested in his work. He walked south from his location and went towards a lake that he always use to train at. The lake was of average size and went as deep as 12 feet. It wasn't very clean but it was the nearest body of water from Sté's starting location. He slowly walked onto the water while carefully storing his chakra into the bottom of his feet. He walked gracefully towards the middle of the lake and stood there for a while. Sté figured that using ninjutsu while focusing chakra
in other areas at the same time will help him develope a stronger sense of chakra control all together. Sté scratched his nose and place his hands into position. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger" One mist clone appeared next to him. "Hm? Only one?" Sté was getting more frustrated by the minute. The mist clone fadded off. Sté tried again, trying to focus as much as possible. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger" One mist clone appeared. "Hmph, I guess its harder on top of water, or maybe I lack the porper chakra control." "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger" Two mist clones appeared this time. Sté smiled as the mist clones ran forward and fadded off.

Sté ran across the lake. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger." He was more adjusted at performing the hand seals with more speed and perfection. Two mist clones appeared next to him. Sté stopped in his place and watched as the clones ran off in opposite directions around the lake. The clones lasted for a long time. They made it about half way across the edge of the lake and faded off. Sté was happy to see the progress he was making. "Alright. What can I do differently? The clones mirror my movements but they aren't as fast. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger" Sté performs the hand seals very quickly and one mist clone appears in front of him. Sté gets into his fighting stance and the mist clone copies him. "Ok, go." The mist clone springs into action by leaping into the air and swinging its left foot towards Sté's face. Sté knew that the mist clones are unable to make contact with flesh of any kind, he just wanted to test their fighting ability. Sté easily ducked under the kick. The mist clone lands. Sté leaps forward with a right punch and hits the clone resulting in it dissapearing. "Hm, when I make contact it fades away. Could that be stopped?" Sté places his hands into position. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger!" He performed the hand seals and two mist clones appear in front of him. Sté gets into his fighting stance and the two mist clones strike without warning. The one on Sté's left gives a lower sweep kick. Sté hits one single back flip in oder to avoid that attack. The second clone would then give a round house kick towards Sté's face. Sté saw this and bent backwards so that the kick swings right past his face. Sté would then retreat with an aerial and then another back flip into the air. The clones followed him. One aimed a punch right at his face. Sté side stepped to the left by turning his body and threw a back hand with his left fist at the clones face. The clone vanished, leaving one. The remaining clone hit a cart wheel two back flips and leaped into the air with a cork screw flip. It would then come down at Sté wit its leg. Sté was surprised. "Hmph, that's my move. The clones seem to learn as time goes on, or maybe its me that's learning more." Sté positioned himself and leaped into the with a spin. He would then hook out his left foot and hit the clone right in the face. The clone vanished right on the spot. Sté stood there. "Iintresting. Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger." Sté performed the hand seals again and one clone appeared in front of him. "Again." The clone got into Sté's fighting stance and waited. Sté nodded his head. "The clone is waiting for me to attack this time. Clearly a strategy that I always use; turn your opponents strength into their weakness. Once I attack, the clone will launch a counter attack and knock me off balance or evade until I give an attack that's easier to counter." Sté shrugged his shoulders. There's a loop hole in every strategy, nothing is full proof, nothing is perfect." Sté dashes forward without attacking, trying to get close enough so that the clone would be in strinking range. The clone leaped back a bit and then leaped forward with a kick towards Sté's mid-section. Sté side stepped and dodged the attack. He stood there and waited. The clone stood there and waited also. Sté nooded to himself. "Catch on quick." Sté dashed forward and spun around while moving backwards, trying to fake out the clone. The clone fell for the facade and gave a forwrad punch but missed all together becasue Sté was out of range. Sté dove forward and hit a roll right when his body hit the water. Sté would kick his foot out after the roll and hit the clone right in the ankles, thus making it vanish. Sté got up and walked off of the lake, he needed to rest up before he contiued, his chakra was nearly gone. "The clones need to stop vanishing when struck. The next part of my training. Wish I had some help...."

Feeling that he rested enough, Sté got up and walked back into the center of the lake. "Alright, time to continue. First things first." Sté focused his chakra a little more carefully while performing his hand seals. He would have to focus deep within himself in order to make these clones fight the way he wanted them to. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger." A single mist clone appeared. Sté walked up to it and slapped at its face. The clone vanished on contact. Sté frowned a bit. What was the trick towards preventing the clones from dissapearing on contact? Sté didn't have the proper amount of focus. He fostered too much anxiety and he needed to find a outlet that would allow him to calm down, aside from meditation. A mere thought of a happy moment in his life would relieve his anxiousness. Unfortunately, Sté had no moments of that sort. So, he would have to go with the alternatives. Anger was his next thought but, he knew that anger never helps for concentration, it only escalates your problems. Maybe it was positive thinking as a whole. Sté needed to focus more on the positives rather then his misfortunes. After he achieved that, he would become less anxious and more tolerant of his harsh past.

He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes a bit. "Who would have thought that psychology plays a significant role in developing under developed justu. Sté thought about his past and pictured his mother's face inside of his head. He had nearly forgoten what his mother looked like. Part of him wanted to forget all together. But true strenght comes from acceptance rather than running away. If he was truly over his troubled past then he would have to look it dead in the face without fear or insecurity.

Feeling that he was ready to give it another try, Sté performed the hand seals again. This time he would dig deeper into himself and perform the jutsu without exerting too much aggresion like last time. A single mist clone appeared in front of him. It stared Sté right in the face with a blank countanence. Sté smiled to himself, feeling more confident then usual. Just as he got into his fighting stance, a heavy wind picked up and blew Sté's scarf right from around his neck. Not wanting it to get wet, Sté ran frantically after it with boths hands in the air. The scarf went over the clone's head and continued to dance in the air. Sté ran through the clone, leaped for his scarf and caught it with his right hand. He gave a sigh of reliefe and paused for a second. Looking back, the mist clone was looking right back at him. The clone didn't vanish. How did he do it? "Awesomeness, freakin awesome." Sté said while walking up to the clone and punching it in the face. Sté's hand went right through and the clone remained where it was, without vanished at all. Sté noded to himself. "The journey definately starts from within. Alright then!" Sté leaped back and got into his fighting stance. "Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger." Sté performed the hand seals and another clone appeared next to the first. The clones got into the same fighting stance and charged. Sté wasn't expecting such a blunt yet quick advancement. One of the clones went first and gave a spinning roundhouse kick towards Sté's face. Sté hit a back flip and dodged the attack. The second clone dove into the air. Once it hit the water, it would lunge its foot out into a baseball like slide towards Sté's ankles. Immediately recognizing the move, Sté leaped into the air while keeping his eye on the clone that performed the first attack but, where was it? Sté looked into the air and the clone's leg went right through him. Sté gasped slighty and stopped fighting. The clones also stopped. "Wow, I got hit by one of own clones. Well I am fighting two of them." Sté got back into his fighting stance. "One more time!" he yelled. The two clones got into their fighting stances and waited. Sté narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Wow, am I really this annoying?" First they strike without hesitation and now there passively waiting. He sighed a bit. "Whatever." Sté ran forward towards the two clones and leaped into the air. The two clones looked up at Sté and leaped out of the way in opposite directions (one to the left and the other to the right). Sté landed without attacking and stood in his place. The clone to his left ran forward with a roundhouse kick to his face. Sté ducked and dodged that attack, he would then look over to his right. Once again, the clone was in the air. "Not this time." Sté spun around while jumping to the side and kicking out his foot. Dodging the leg drop from the clone and hitting it in its head. The clone didn't fade off, it stood there next to the other clone and waited once more. "They keep using the same attacks. Why?"

"Alright, I'm going to kick it up a notch. After this, I'm sure my chakra will reach ground zero........whatever." Sté got into his fighting stance and the two clones copied him once more. He tightened his fists and began to focus his chakra into his arms and legs. The two clones watched Sté closely. Sté bent his kness slightly and sprung into action leaving a big splash of water behind him. He leaped from his spot and flew at the clones with his right fist held back. The clones ran off in different directions. Sté threw his punch and hit the water. A big splash would result from the missed attack. He looked behind him and saw the clones running away. "What are they palnning? I won't give them the chance to retaliate." Sté ran off after the clones very quickly. One of the clones came to a sudden hault and leaped into the air with a cork screwe flip. It would then come down at Sté with its right fist held back. Sté narrowed his eyes while looking up at the clone and noticed the resemblence of its form. Just as soon as he was going to jump back, out of the way, the second clone came at Sté from his right. "Why didn't I see that one?" Sté gave a quick side step and elbowed the clone in the face with his left elbow. The clone in the air came down at Sté but its aim was slightly off. Sté would easily be able to dodge the attack but the clone right next to him didn't give him enough time. Sté would have to retreat by rolling out of the way. The two clones were now chasing him down. One of the clones went first by giving a double kick towards Sté's face. The second clone would leap over the first's head with a drop kick towards Sté's solarplexes (sp?) (chest area). Sté would lean out of the way of the first kicks. After seeing the second clone in the air, he performed a aerial to the right in order to avoid the attack. "There much more relentless then before. There trying to prevent me from making a move." Just as Sté lands after making his dodge, one of the clones flips directly over his head and lands behind him. Sté looks up at it and frowns as it lands. The clone that didn't flip over wasted no time; it rushed in with a spinning mid air kick with the left then right foot. Sté ducked under both kicks and rolled away slightly. The clone on his other side atempted to smash its knee into Sté's face but he was too quick this time. Sté used one hand, to push and flip himself over the clone. At this point, Sté's breathing was getting heavy. "Hmph, good." The two clones stood next to each other and waited. '"Alright, you two almost move more gracefully then I do." Sté smirked a bit. One of the clones dashed forward with a series of left and right hooks. Sté hit two backflips away from the clone. He would then spin around on his shoulder and push himself into the air with both hands and perform a series of flips in the air before landing and coming to a skidding hault. The second clone ran past the first and towards Sté. Sté also ran forward. The first clone picked up the pace and followed the second. Sté released his chakra from his feet just a soon as he jumped thus, giving him a quick boost forwards hovering above the water. He kneed the first clone in the face, skipped on the water like a pebble, went into the air again and gave a flying kick to the next clones face. He landed on the water and looked back. The clones faded of slowly; Sté finally used up the rest of his chakra. Out of breath, he made his way off the lake.
