Atrimis's Training (Finnished)

[atrimis]

Kugutsu no Jutsu, ˜ø™S‚̏p (Puppet Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The Ability where the user controls a puppet with strings of chakra. The puppet is capable of attacking an opponent with any weapons hidden inside of it. This technique is effective from long distances since the chakra strings can extend; they are also invisible, so the puppet can be used from a hidden location.
Special: Must be a Puppeteer
Drawback: Must be learned multiple times in order for the distance to increase. The more objects or Puppets used, the distance decreases, this means that if you have two puppets with a hundred meters of distance each puppet can go at a maximum of fifty meters each.
Description: The user is capable of controlling a puppet depending on the distance of the puppet. If the puppet surpasses a certain distance then the chakra strings simply disconnect leaving the puppet down along the floor. The Chakra strings can not be seen by regular eyes but those who have the capability of seeing chakra can truly notice such a technique. When first learned the technique allows the user a maximum of ten meters of distance. After each time learned the user can increase the distance of Ten Meters. When the user reaches up to a hundred meters then it is harder for a user to gain more distance so the training would go up to a B Rank training as the distance increases Ten Meters every time learned. After three hundred Meters, then the training becomes more difficult once more as the training ranks up to A Rank, at this moment the distance is unlimited.
Limit: Must be known multiple times.

Atrimis consentrated on the words of the pupeteer master from the village. He knew what he had to do to slowly gain the understandings of pupeteery. The first was a technique called Kugutsu no Jutsu, and ment Puppet Technique. He realised the translation was a bit bland, but that didn't matter to him. He walked to the clearing he knew of, a nice hill over-looking a small pond. The only sounds around were that of birds, and the wind in the trees. He cleared his mind, and focused his chakra on the area around him, seeing it form into small filiment strands. The strands flowed and wraped themselves around several near-by flowers. Or so he thought. He didn't feel the familuar energy drain like when he used the kuri buki. He didn't feel the fuel that filled his being when he enacted his Kaishin eye. This was tough.

He focued once agian on the flower. Slowly he started the flow of chakra, the same way he learned to run on vertical surfaces, to switch with objects, and to even activate the exploding tags. Once he felt that his body was completely understanding of the chakra, he started to form the energy into the filimanet strings that would need to be wrapped around the puppet he would have to get later, to controll it. His body began to tingle; he felt a twinge as the energy coalesed into a fine line. He believed that he was on the way to understanding the jutsu.

He remained seated, holding onto the filament. He felt the filament flow and sway, felt it take form, and become real. in his eyes, the filament was a fine thread, no bigger than a human hair. He knew that this was actually a bit large, from what the old puppeteer had told him... but he focused, just to keep this one thread in existance. Carefully he controlled the way it moved, causing the thread to dart forward, and return slowly, made it shift left and right, stretch up and down, extending to it's max lengths up and down. As he focused, the string extended, he realised that it was fairly small. He knew that he would not be able to controll a puppet in a combat setting if the creature had to be by his side the whole time.

His mind relaxed, and the thread bunched up, curling naturally like piece of string. It began to sway in the wind, though Atrimis wasn't sure if that was from the actualy wind, or because of his controll, and mental state, which was responsive to the wind. As chakra band flowed in the sky, he poured more of his energy into it. The thread began to grow, but not in length; it grew wider. He realised that was not how the chakra was supposed to pour into the filament. He focused, consentrating on the filament, feeling in his mind, the string lengthen. And slowly it did, first doubling in length, and then doubling again. Soon he had a line that was even smaller than a hair on a person's head, and so long he had to weave it back and forth to be able to see it all at the same time. He knew that he hard part was still yet to come.

He could feel the chakra flowing through him, connecting him to the string. He started to controll it, his body remaining motionless, but sending the string to wrap around different items, or objects in the area. First it wraped around the flower, bending it aginst the wind. Then he pulled of several of the petals, but not too many to do any serious damage. Once he was satisified with that, he wrapped this thread around himself, and consentrated on forming a second.

As the visual image of a second thread began to form, he could feel his first, complete one, disapearing. He paused, both only half formed, and focused, feeling the flow of energy pour from his body and enter the strings. This was very draining, and he was starting to get tired. But he had to go on. To stop now would most likely hinder the whole thing. As he felt the chakra fill the threads in, they started to form, looking as real as fibers. He stood, wrapping one fiber around his right arm, and the other around his left. As he focused, the fibers began to change, slowly extending or receding to match the same length.

In his hands, he could feel the power of the fibers, the basic controlls for the power of puppeteery. The chakra controll of the strings was unstable, at best, causing him to have to focus completely just to make the wires waver in the direction he wanted. His mind hardened, eyes narrowing, as he entwisted the lines, causing them to cross, and uncross each other. Once he had basic controll of the two lines, he began to make simple shapes with them. The first line he made a triangle shape with, and the second formed a square. Then he exchanged the shapes, which he discovered was harder than he thought. Instead of seperate shapes, they sort of merged, forming what was vaguely like a pentagon, or house shape. A small chuckle ran thought him as he focused, forcing the once-square into a triangle, and the once-triangle, into a square.

Satasified, he began to make other shapes, hexagons, octogons, decagons... Then non-symeterical shapes, trees, clouds and flowers. Slowly he mastered the controll of two stings. It was a small step, but it was a step in the right direction.

Atrimis focused, two strings were not enough to properly controll a puppet. He knew he needed more. His chakra poured from deep inside of his being, and created another string. This one was much shorter than the other two. He knew that something was off. His Chakra must be low. He mediated the flow of chakra from his other two lines, and averaged the third to match. This shortened their length substantionally. He sighed; his chakra controll must not be that powerful yet. Still, he now had three strings.

Gently he unwraped the first from his left arm, and twisted them around his index and ring fingers. He focused on the controll of the three strings. Suddenly he felt as if his body ad fallen off of a cliff. The strings disolved into nothingness, the surrounding area became hazy, and then everything went dark.

He awoke a short time later. He could tell by the pusitioning of the sun. He sighed, leaning back aginst the tree, and massaged the tense muscles in his neck. He must have used too much chakra. Closing his eyes, Atrimis cleared his mind of all distractions. First he tuned out the sound of the water below, then the wind in the trees. He ignored the birds, and every other noise. Then he began to block his other senses; the smell of the flowers, and the trees, even the smell of his own body; the lavender aroma he mixed with his bath water. Then he blocked out his feeling of touch, the way the wind caressed his skin, the heat from the sun, the softness of the grass underneath, and the tough bark behind his back. He even blocked off the sense of taste, thought he wasn't actively eating anything.

He had a basis, he knew how to form the threads, now he just had to learn how to make many, and controll them. In his minds eye, he focused on his chakra pool. He needed to be able to make a large thread with minimal chakra. He pulled a thread from the pool, and watched it diminish significantly. He sighed, and focused... forcing the thread to remain, while his chakra increased. Slowly the pool began to fill. It was like a drop as a time, but the more he forced, the less chakra it took to maintain the thread, and the more he had.

Soon it all came into place. He had a sufficently long thread that took almost no chakra. He focused on the single thread, feeling the way the thread reacted to his chakra, and how the chakra created it. Then he duplicated it. Suddenly he had a second, and nearly no chakra was used. So he focused, adn doubled the two into four. He saw the pool drop, but it wasn't much. He finnaly understood the string theory of puppetery. Now for the controll theory.

Atrimis inhaled sharply, and doubled the four stings he had, wrapping one around each finger. Only his thumbs were free from the wires. He Slowly shifted out of his minds eye, and into the normal world. The strings remained, wrapped around his fingers, following the movement of his hands. He exhaled, seeing the world around him, and focused back on the strings. Controll is what he needed, and he began to make the strings sway. That was easy enough, even without though. He slowly made the strings entwine, shifting and twisting into all sorts of shapes; kunai, buildings, mountain ranges. Once he was comfortable with that, he tried more advanced shapes, like the outlines of people, and even managed to make a likeness of his mother. He smiled lightly, knowing that he had controll of the wires them-selves down.

Now on to objects. He looked around, but could not find anything that would prove useful. He dismissed the strings, the chakra from them re-entering his body. He sighed, adn walked to the village, seeking the elder that spoke to him about puppeteery. The old man was sitting in the same spot Atrimis had left him, legs crossed and eyes closed. Atrimis kneeled down in front of him, and spoke softly, hailing the sensi. The elder opened his eyes, to Atrimis bowing down in front of him. He smiled at the young ninja. "Welcome back, my son. Have you completed your training for Kugutsu no Jutsu?"

Atrimis shook his head back and forth, "No, sensi. I am having trouble with the controll aspect of the technique. I can summon the strings to controll the puppet, but I have no puppet to controll."

The old man smiled, and motioned to a wooden chest to their left. "I shall let you use my first puppet, to practice. It is not much, made of poor-quality material, and quite small, but it will be sufficent for training."

Atrimis thanked the elder man, and took the puppet, with a promise to return it, when he completed his training. He returned to the area in front of the tree, the picked flower still laying on the earth. He set the puppet down in front of him, and focused, summoning the threads again. Slowly he forced his chakra into the twines, and wrapped them around the limbs of the atomaton. At his command, the wodden frame rose, and stood shakeily. He exhaled, and focused, enhancing the bond between himself, and the creation. His mind slowly traveled from his body, to the body of the creature. He almost felt as if he was the puppet now. He began to move the arms and legs, getting a feel to the way the creature re-acted and responded to his commands. It was almost like learning to walk again.

As he focused and practiced, his controll increased. His understanding of the golem-like creature increased the longer he controlled it. He swung the arms, and kicked with the legs. He flexed the wooden muscles, and did a small danace with the toy. He felt his controll was secure.

Atrimis smiled, making the puppet dance around, leap, and preform strikes with a Kunai he gave it. As the puppet moved, Atrimis split his focus, taking controll of both the puppet and himself at the same time. He forced the production of more strings, and attached them to all points across his body. As he trained, days passed, the sun riseing and setting. He ate little, and drank only when needed. The puppet became his companion, mimicing his actions, and countering them when Atrimis wanted.

He discovered the old man still had several hidden weapons in the wooden toy. He focused, strikeing the tree with his own weapons, while useing the Puppet to mimic his attacks. He practiced with needles, and had th epuppet attack with a kunai. Together they attacked the tree from both sides, alternating attacks, and striking in harmony. He soon reaslised that he wasn't focusing on controlling his chakra; it was flowing almost naturally between him and the puppet. He focused on the puppet itself, seaming to teach it how to hide, how to strike quickly, and how to conseal its weapons. He made note of how this one was created. His plan was, when finnished, to make one as simular as possible.

Before long, he was able to hide, strike, and hide again, with his puppet working in tandem.

Atrimis knew he had the skill down. He returned to town, gave back the puppet, and thanked the master for his help and the use of his puppet. He then went to see what else he could learn.
