“When will you be back?”

“I’ll come back into the village or something to eat, but then I’ll probably go back to train more. I need to learn more.”

“Just don’t hurt yourself.”

Hiroto tightened the Rain Village headband around his forehead. His emotionless face stared at his mothers before he proceeded toward the door. He was all geared up with his needles and bottles of water. He waved as a small smile flashed over his face before disappearing. “Bye,” Hiroto said, starting to walk out the door.

“Just be careful!” his mother said, coming to the door, waving goodbye.

Hiroto’s training sessions went the same everyday. He either practiced on learning new Jutsus or he used his needles on dummies and trees. He knew that he couldn’t always rely on his NinJutsu, so he had become accustomed to using Senbon needles at a very young age. His accuracy was very precise, almost never missing. He could use them from almost any stance, even when in midair. Today, however, he would work on his rain skills. He proceeded toward a small pond where he usually trained. The pond wasn’t very large at all, but it provided enough water to perform Hiroto’s Jutsus.

He already knew that this would be a pretty difficult task to do, but he had confidence in his abilities. He wasn’t about to go home after one failed practice session. He was used to failing by this time, but it didn’t stop him from reaching his goal in the end. He had not let himself down yet and he wasn’t about to start. Hiroto would start out with a single whip and then slowly try to raise the other seven. Getting the whips up would be easy, but maintaining them there for long periods of time would be hard.

Now on the outskirts of the village, Hiroto came to the pond. He was surprised nobody ever came out here because it was a rather comforting place after a stressful day. Hiroto quickly went into his training, his face now more serious than before. His hands went into handseals faster than the eye could identify; a whip of water now clearly seen in front of him. His feet sank into the water as Hiroto tried to raise another water whip, the water starting to pick up around him. He focused chakra in his feet and stepped onto the top of the water. He could do this for a short duration of time. He needed the water to be all around him in order for this to work.

The Gennin moved the second whip with the first, but then he was unable to continue it, as both whips dropped back into the water. “Damnit…”

This time the Rain Village ninja was going to do it, and he was going to master it. Focusing more chakra into the soles of his feet, Hiroto moved to the very center of the pond. He figured if he could get the largest supply of water possible then the whips would be easier to conjure. It was a good strategy, and now it just needed to be put to the test. Hiroto brought one hand up very slowly, the other making the proper handseals so that one whip would come up. He needed to work on each whip individually before he could make all eight at the same time.

The first tendril was brilliant, a very deep blue color, darker than that of the actual ponds. It was most likely due to Hiroto’s chakra, but he really wasn’t sure. He stared at the dark water whip before he went on to perform the next one. He made the heandseals with one hand again, getting the second one now with ease. He thought he had the hang of this, but sometimes looks could be deceiving. With knees bent and the whips directly in front of him, Hiroto worked very slowly on the handseals to the third one. He brought it up and smiled, happy that he was able to bring three up without any problems. But this time it would be short lived.

Happy with the victory over three complete whips, Hiroto tried to bring the fourth one up quicker than the rest of them, making handseals that were just a blur to the naked eye. The fourth one came off the water only a few inches before it collapsed on the water along with the other three. It made a giant splash with water that slapped Hiroto’s entire body, which caused him to lose the chakra in his feet, and fall. He went down along with his own Jutsu, sinking to the bottom of the pond. What a drag…

[mrconrad67]

[3/80]

Submerged underneath the water, Hiroto came back up to the surface and spat the water out. “I should’ve taken my time,” he said, identifying his mistakes. “I went too fast, I need to take my time,” he repeated. He went back to the shore and focused chakra in his feet once more. He slowly, and very carefully, went back onto the middle of the pond. He had learned to do this a few weeks ago and was getting quite good at it. All it took was time to master something really. And Hiroto was going to be spending a lot of time on this Jutsu in particular.

This time Hiroto would jump the gun a little bit and raise two to begin with. He did the handseals a bit slowly, but still pretty fast for normal ninja. Two whips came up from the water this time, and Hiroto didn’t feel weak in the least bit. With a smile playing across his features, Hiroto would now start to raise the tendrils one at a time. He did the handseals again as a third whip came up. He took control of all three of them, double-checking to make sure his chakra flow was good before proceeding on. He did another handseal, raising a fifth whip. Hiroto grinned now, happy with his progress but, again, it wouldn’t last long.

The ends of the whips started to fall limp. Hiroto put more power and chakra into it, but he couldn’t muster enough up, and so they all fell back into the water. Hiroto kicked the water, letting it splash across the surface. “I’ll keep trying…”

“That’s it, I’m doing this once and for all, no more holding back!” Hiroto yelled aloud to himself, covered in water. In a flash of hand movements, three whips of water were made, violently lashing about at the water and even onto the land outside of the pond. Hiroto had them under control, but they looked to be out of control. He whirled them around, training himself to grow accustomed to using them. With his free hand, the Rain Village ninja made the handseals once more, bringing upon himself a fourth whip. He had them all under control, nothing out of place this time. He felt good about himself.

Hiroto started to walk about on the pond, twisting and bending the whips to his desire. He would send a vibe down the line, then whip it suddenly at the end so that it would kick up dirt or splash in the water. Right now it was not the strongest, but if he continued this training every day then he would be able to force all eight to tear into the ground. He continued to practice with them, making the handseals again so that he had a fifth whip to use at his leisure. He twirled and spun around in the water, maintaining the chakra in the soles of his feet, but also using movements to test out the whips. He needed to figure out what worked the best way so he would be ready in an actual fight against another person.

Desire and pleasure burning throughout his veins, Hiroto made the handseals yet again, getting a total of six whips now. He smirked and put three in one hand and three in another. With eight he could do four and four, but he needed to practice just summoning this Jutsu more before he would be ready for that. The only downfall to this Jutsu was that he would not be able to defend against other Jutsus or exploding weaponry. This is where good agility and evasion skills would come into play.

Backing up onto land, Hiroto jumped and twisted in the air, keeping his eyes open and the whips in his hands, but he had made an error. Upon coming back onto the ground, Hiroto sent a vibe down the lines of his whips, but lost his footing and fell onto the ground. His chakra flow was interrupted, forcing the whips to fall onto the ground. The drops of water crept slowly back into the pond. Hiroto got up and got ready to try it again.

[mrconrad67]

[10/80]

Hiroto used both hands to do the handseals and said them aloud as he performed them. “Ox! Monkey! Dog!” He did them all excellently, in only two or three seconds at the very most. All six whips came to his right hand, the water pure and beautiful, but very deadly at the same time. He knew how to practice now, for just throwing and lashing the whips around all day wouldn’t be enough. Sure, it was fun after a while, but he really didn’t get much out of it. He needed a target, but it needed to be a moving target. He didn’t have a team (yet anyway) so he needed to think of something.

Using his free hand, Hiroto quickly formed another handseal combination and made four clones of himself. They were all identical to him, but they weren’t able to attack at all. They could only dodge and evade, but that was exactly what Hiroto wanted them to do. One of the reasons the whips worked so well was because you could trap opponents with them and ruin any chance at an evasive skill. The only weakness, as stated before, was that it didn’t work against exploding weaponry or opposing Jutsus. Hiroto only needed to stop them from using exploding weaponry and their Jutsus and he would have an ultimate Jutsu. “You know what to do! Try and dodge the whips! Spread apart, go!”

The four water clones went in opposite directions, spreading apart over the area. Hiroto put three whips in each hand, quickly lashing them out at two of the clones. The whips wrapped around the clone’s ankles and sent them to the ground. They went back to their previous state of water and dripped into the pond. “You call that evading?” Hiroto shook his head and ran after one of the other clones. He could see him in the distance, falling just under a bridge. Hiroto lashed the whips at him, but the clone easily looked back and jumped over them, but he fell onto his side.

Hiroto slid onto the ground, throwing the whips at him again. The clone back-flipped onto the rail of the bridge. The Gennin Rain Ninja sighed and lashed them again, but the clone jumped back again, getting the whips wrapped around the railing. Hiroto threw those three down and used his other hand now. He jumped onto the ground and threw the ends of the whips at his own clone. The clone tried to jump away, but was caught on the foot, and went back to his original state now too.

“One more to go… Damn mist clones…” Hiroto began to run, not sure if where his other clone was. He went back to the pond and, to his surprise, the clone was there already. Hiroto threw the whips at him, but the clone jumped back. Every time Hiroto tried to get him with the whips, he just jumped back. Hiroto put one whip in his free hand and threw that. The clone jumped, but this time Hiroto used the other two whips and caught his torso, sending him back into the mist and water.

((Thanks, I finally didn't get a 3 or 4! lol - 21/80))

Upon sending his last clone back to the pond, Hiroto realized he would need a more intense workout in order to gain anything from this. He went back to the shop in the village, not stopping to chit-chat with anybody, and got weighted boots and ankle weights. He put them on immediately and ran back to the pond, taking almost three times as long as usual. He found that it also restricted chakra movement to his feet a lot more, but this was all part of his training. “You’re a quitter, not a loser, Hiroto. Step to it! You’re not about to bail out this fast!”

Hiroto used both hands to form the handseals. “Ox! Monkey! Dog!” The six whips formed at once in his hands. He forced chakra into his feet and started to walk across the pond, his legs feeling wobbly. He then put all the whips into one hand and summoned mist clones as he did before. But this time he wouldn’t be able to keep up with them. “Same thing as last time guys. You know what to do!” Hiroto snapped the whips at two of them, but it did nothing, falling short by at least five meters. “Damn it!” Hiroto yelled and chased after them.

With his muscles aching and the chakra in his body more restricted than usual, Hiroto sighed and forced himself after them. He came to the same bridge he was at before, but this time three of them were here. “I’ll get three of them here and then go back to the pond where the fourth one will be. Easy as cake!” Hiroto explained his plan aloud to himself while snapping three whips at one and three whips at another. All three of the clones evaded, which was a mistake. The one that Hiroto hadn’t aimed for was in the middle. Hiroto flicked his wrists, lashing the ends of all the whips at the clone. They ensnared him and brought him back to only mist and water.

One of the clones now was on the railing while the other was trying to sneak past Hiroto. “Oh, I don’t think so,” Hiroto said, simply shuffling to his left and extending his elbow to drive it through the clone’s face. “Yea, that’s what I thought!” Hiroto smirked and went after the last one, but he was unable to keep up with him. “I’m going to need to think of something to get out of this mess…” Hiroto sighed, lashing the whips violently around, but it did nothing but anger him. Hiroto focused more chakra into his feet, slowly able to catch up with the clone and get two whips around his neck, sending him back into water.

“The last one will be at the pond, just like before,” Hiroto murmured, heading back to the pond. And he was right. The clone was there, and he would deal with him just like he had done before. He threw three of the whips at him and the clone dodge, and Hiroto threw the other three whips. But the clone was able to back-flip will still in mid-air to give himself an extra boost. Hiroto, through sheer luck and agility, got underneath him and tackled him, defeating him, but also loosing hold of the whips.

((28/80 - Getting closer... Just running out of things to do ><))

The water whips fell to the ground, as Hiroto was growing used to them doing, and slowly dripped back into the mass of water. “Time to make things just a bit more interesting,” Hiroto said, still moving slower than usual with the weights applied. Before summoning his whips or even a single clone, Hiroto put his hands together and began to make a handseal he hadn’t used all day. “Hidden Mist Jutsu!” he yelled out to the pond. He typically used this Jutsu so that the air would become dense with the mist so that he could use his Senbon needles to effectively take down his opponent. It was how silent assassins won battles in the Village Hidden in the Mist. Hiroto took after that in case his NinJutsu abilities didn’t work out so great. But this time it would be for training purposes, not attacking purposes.

Hiroto waited for the air to grow with the mist and fog before putting his hands together to summon his whips. He was going for seven this time. He closed his eyes and did the handseals in three or four seconds, giving himself some time. By the time the summoning was over he had seven whips in one hand, but he felt weaker than usual. He had been conjuring only six, so seven was a stretch. In a matter of time he would be able to get the eight whips total, but he would have to wait until he had practiced more before he could do that.

Using his free hand, Hiroto now summoned only three clones. “Stay close this time guys, don’t venture out too far. I will need to be able to see my opponent even in the densest of fogs. These whips will be no use if I cannot use them in all situations.” The clones split out, two going in one direction while another went in the opposite. Hiroto followed the one clone, trying to see through the fog, but it was practically impossible. Hiroto’s ears flickered and he picked up on how fast the clone was moving. He did a few long jumps in order to save some distance, but now it felt like he had sprained an ankle because of the weights.

Using complete and total sound as his weapon, Hiroto jumped once more and did a roll, throwing two of the whips forward and keeping the other five ready. He threw the other five forward now too, but now he did not hear any sound. If the clone had been vanquished then a splash of water would’ve hit the ground. And if he had still been moving then footsteps would be heard. This means that the clone had stopped moving in order to keep away from Hiroto. He wasn’t going to fall for it. Hiroto spun his body around, lashing the whips out in every direction. When he went toward the north he heard somebody backing up. He jumped high into the air and brought the whip down hard, this time hearing a splash of water. “One down, two to go.”

The gennin quickly went on his feet, trying not to let his sprained ankle and the weights bother him, but it was of no use. He got back to the pond and circled around it. He was trying to pick up the slightest bit of sound. He heard small, slow footsteps. He started to silently go toward the sound. He kept his right arm behind his head, ready to use his water whips at any time. Hiroto was barely breathing now, the footsteps getting closer and closer each time he took a step. He heard a step right in front of him and could see the outline of a shadow. Hiroto cracked all seven of the whips in front of him, forcing them to circle around the clone until the constriction sent it back into water and part of the mist.

“One more to go!” But it didn’t take long. The other clone had been shadowing the second clone, making the same noises, but now it didn’t have anything to hide behind. Hiroto quickly disposed of it using the water whips. He tore its head apart and watch it form back into water. “Easy…”

[mrconrad67]

((28/80))

After eliminating all of his water clones, Hiroto turned toward the land more directly and tightened his hold on the whips. He put all seven of them in one hand and did the handseal again, an eighth whip now forming in his hand. He smiled, but it took a huge toll on his chakra, depleting it over half-way now. “I’m going to need to rest soon, or else this Jutsu will eat my chakra away to nothing. I can’t have that while I’m still so early in learning this Jutsu.” Hiroto took a few deep breaths and then lashed the whips out at rocks and patches of dirt and grass on the ground.

This technique and style would improve accuracy as well as the actual strength and amount of chakra put into the attack. The whips hit the ground, cutting the blades of grass into mulch for ants to feed on. When they hit bare spots on the ground there would be imprints of the whip and dirt would fly into the air from the power of the lash. And when rocks would hit the whips would either bounce off from not enough strength or they would cut the rocks in half, going straight through them.

“If water be with us, who can be against us?” Hiroto said, smirking. He continued to whip things until he had a grand idea. He walked over to the bridge that the clones had constantly gathered around and put four whips in each of his hands. “This time, I will sink the damn bridge to the bottom of this pond!” The river was flowing steadily, and everything was calm, nobody around but Hiroto. If somebody found out he had done this, though, it would mean his head. He double checked to make sure everything was clear before he rose all eight of the whips, concentrating his chakra into the whips. His eyes were closed; he was in deep thought…

And then they sprang open like springs, all eight of the whips coming down on the bridge. Hiroto flipped into the air over the bridge, once again lashing the water at the bridge. He came down on the opposite side he had been at, turning and using the whips once more. At first it had appeared as if nothing happened. But then the bridge fell apart into pieces of concrete, some of the fragments washing away in the water. Hiroto just laughed.

hiroto you can't train and do a mission at the same time. I'll let you have the tp you've gained thus far but after this you must finish your mission.

[mrconrad67]

Dropping all eight of the whips, Hiroto started back toward home after a long day at training. He needed to rest and do more missions before he could continue his training. "I shall be back soon enough to master this Jutsu..." He needed to become stronger if he ever wished to become a successful Rain Village ninja. He sighed as he went home, dragging his arms and legs behind him.

(Exit)

[mrconrad67]

(Re-Enter - 39/80 - Same Jutsu Practice)

After a lot of resting and his D-Ranked mission, Hiroto knew that he needed to go get some more training done. He also needed a team so he could do some harder missions. Awaking very early after his mission day, Hiroto got up, put on his training clothes, got his gear, and put on the ankle and feet weights. He then ran as fast as he could out to the pond to finish his Eight Whips training. If he didn’t get this Jutsu done soon then he might as well give up on it because it’s taking forever. He focused chakra into the soles of his feet and walked out to the middle of the pond, closing his eyes briefly.

“Ox, Monkey, Dog!” Hiroto yelled out as he performed the handseals, all eight whips coming up at the same time. Having replenished chakra sure helps when learning a new Jutsu. Hiroto smiled to himself and thought a good warm-up would suffice before he got into anything harder. He would probably use the clones again today since they really did help him. Or at least he thought that they helped him. He shrugged the feeling off and made sure he had four whips in each hand. He looked around for a good target, but couldn’t find anything, so he would just use everything for practice.

He flicked his wrists, sending invisible chakra vibes down the whips. Nobody would be able to see them until about halfway when the whip picked itself up and smashed against whatever target Hiroto deemed fit. This time he was just picking up rocks with the whips and throwing them. He would wrap the tendrils of the whips around them and throw them into the water or at land. He then began doing what he had been doing in his last training session: hitting patches of soft dirt, grass, or even the water. He drew his power from the water, so attacking it would only make him stronger.

After spending time on that, Hiroto put all eight whips in one hand and did the handseals for his clones. He formed two of them as they both already knew what to do, starting to run. A smirk ran across Hiroto’s lips as he used all eight of the whips to pick up eight rocks. He threw all eight of them at the two clones, who had been running side-by-side. The rocks soared high through the air, splitting the air, and smashed upon the clones’ backs. They were sent to the ground from the impact, face-planting into the wet dirt and grass.

Hiroto laughed and summoned two more after performing the handseals. This time he only used his own two legs and feet (which were becoming more and more accustomed to the weights) and his hands and whips to attack them and put them back in their original state of water and mist. This time his clones were smarter, splitting up into opposite directions, but it still wouldn’t help them. Hiroto chased after them, taking longer strides than he would usually take. He was trying to build up his speed. He was sure that agility would come into play in many battles to come, and he wanted to be ready for them.

He flicked his wrists multiple times, the whips trying to hit the clone that he had zeroed in on, but they were out of range. Hiroto jumped a few times, trying to cover more and more land as fast as he could. These clones were fast… Faster than even Hiroto, their own master! He did one last long jump, his entire upper body sprawling out in a desperate hope to catch this clone. He sent the ends of the whips out after the clone. The tendrils barely caught the clone’s ankles, but they still caught him, putting him back into water.

Hiroto quickly doubled back to the pond where the last clone was. “Why do they always come back here? Because of the water?” Shrugging it off, Hiroto picked up eight rocks once more and threw them all at the clone, who had seen Hiroto coming and took off with his legs. The bombardment of rocks easily defeated the clone. “Too easy…”
