Ando left the village and entered the surrounding area to train nearby, he found a suitable area with enough water. He knew which technique he wanted to learn and had already thought of a three stage training session to learn the technique. The first stage was to use his water release to manipulate the water into a straight, almost rope like column of water.

Ando walked up to the water source and performed a series of handseals. He began to concentrate his chakra to rise the water out of the ground as needed. The water begin to rise vertically as a thing column however as it reached about two feet in length the water broke apart and fell back into the pool as tiny droplets. He had used to much chakra to hold the shape and in effects caused it to explode from the inside.

He tried again this time trying to hold less chakra for a longer period of time. The water rose again from the center of the pool as it began to rise it suddenly broke apart again, falling back down. Ando was finding it difficult to concentrate his chakra to hold the thin structure needed for the technique. He knew however that with practice this would be almost second nature.

He tried a third time this time as the column rose up his gradually increased the chakra supply to compensate for the increased area of the water. As the technique reached almost 6 feet it stopped and began to bubble out of control, the suface of the column began to randomly move about as Ando struggled to find the correct concentration of chakra to maintain the position. The column suddenly stopped as Ando regained control.

However he had just reached over 6 foot when the technique crumbled from the bottom up. He has been so busy concentrating on keeping the top part stable that he had neglected his chakra in the bottom half. Despite his failed attempts he continued and continued the first half of the training until the column has reached around 8 feet. At this point he felt as though he could hold the technique at any length.

Now was time for the second part of the training, this was to hold the length of the water at 8 feet and make it move and bend from its usual rigid position. As he held the water at 8 feet he began to use his chakra to bend and move in a snake like pattern, curving from left to right or a complete full circle. However keeping the water together like this was proving difficult and the technique continued to break apart.

Ando continued this method of extending the water upwards before attempting to move it. He has now mastered the simple movements however once he tried anything more difficult the water would collapse and he would have to start again. He continued, detirmined to master the technique.

After several attempts he managed to reach a level of control which he was happy with. He then began to rise the water up into the air while bending it at the same time. Almost he had mastered both of these individually it was proving difficult for him to combine the two.

He continued to raise the chakra into the air he began to whip the chakra from left to right, each failed attempt brought him closer to understanding how to control the technique. He was increasing the length of time that he could hold the technique in this stage gradually. Once he had managed to gain the control at his usual 8 ft he then attempted to increase the speed at which he could do this.

He began to force his chakra faster and harder into the water in an attempt to increase the speed at which the attack moved, he also increased the strength which he used to whip the water around. He needed to do all of this while maintaining a constant hold on the shape of the water.

He repeated the technique over and over again as the day passed by. Each time he did the technique the speed was increasing, it was not noticeable from one attempt to the next however from his first attempt there was a definite improvement. As night fell Ando felt as though the technique was a strong as it could be at this stage. He would return tomorrow and began the next stage.

Ando continued his training the next day returning at the first sign of light. He had mastered many of the steps the day before now it was time to move onto his next stage, this was to perform the same as the last step however this time extend it horizontally instead of verticaly, this would require even greater control.

He first extending the water up into the air while whipping it from side to side, then when it was at 8 feet long he began to move it down towards the floor. He moved the water perpendicular to the movement of the whipping so that as the water reached a hozitonal position the whipping motion would also be moving from left to right in the horizontal plane.

As he moved the water downwards he felt the greater strain and realised that more chakra was required however he failed to maintain the control on his first attempt and as with other failed attempt the water broke apart. He tried again and again, raising the water up perfectly vertically before tilting it into a vertical position.

After he had managed to do this on several successive attempts he then raised the water slightly off vertical and again attempted to move it to a horizontal position, again this was difficult the first few times but he found it easier as he had the knowledge from the first attempt. Each time he managed to move the water succesfully he made the angle between the ground more acute.

Eventually he was fully capable of forming the technique into a horizontal position directly without having to raise it into the air first. Next was the penultimate stage he know needed to extend the water in a horizontal direction while keeping the water moving and bending.

After performing the hand seals the water quickly rose up and shot across in a snake like motion slightly raised from the ground. The water travelling a couple of feet before breaking apart. He tried again shoot the water, this time trying to increase his chakra hold on the water however again the attack failed after a couple of feet.

He continued shooting the water further and further with each attempt. This would be the longest stage of them all as his previous training had only let him extend by 8 foot now he had to extend the technique to the limit of the water source he had. Morning turned into afternoon as Ando continued his training, he had since moved to another nearby source of water as the previous one had almost been completely used.

Ando repeated his method over and over again. He would perform hand seals and then manipulate the water source using his chakra and water release. Shooting a thin rope like colum of water vertically towards a tree which was some distance away. He had a large source of water which allowed him not allow to create a long attack but also allowed for repeated attempt. Each failed attempts caused the water to break into the land nearby and therefore drain the reserves in the pool.

As he increased the length of the water more and more beyond the 8 meters which he had earlier learnt to do he found it suprising not as difficult as he had imagined. His earlier training had allowed him alot of control and now all he had to do was increase his chakra gradually, with each attempt gaining more control and efficiency.

If he used too much chakra the water would simple explode and scatter everywhere, too little and it would crumble away into the ground below. He was now gradually increasing the length at an even rate and everytime he managed to move the attack further he began to swing it from side to side more rapidly which would further increase the difficulty.

After taking a short break and searching for another large water source he continued his attempts. Performing the same series of handseals and sending the whip of water towards the tree. He was using it as an attack at this stage he was simply attempting to gain further control so that he could increase the attack range.

Once he had managed to reach the tree which the water he began to pull it back into the original source. After completing this he began to pull it forward and back repeatedly and with each attempt increase the speed at which the thread shot forward.

He held the same last handseal and continued to extend it forward and backwards as fast as possible, the technique needed to be quick if it was going to be effective in any battle situation.

He pushed the water forward with his chakra, Faster, and again, Faster and again. With each attempt he urged himself to try harder and make the attack move at a greater pace. He was close to mastering the technique and the final step was close at hand.
