Kuro dipped low once more and he would bend lower to get some dirt into his hand. He would hold it in his hand, as chakra would begin it's way down into the palm of his hand as a conductor. As the chakra did so the very small sediments would be stuck with each other as his hand closed to prevent chakra from escaping, he closed his eyes and dipped his head back. Once more he would open his eyes as he looked at his palm and a rock would be formed once more.

The rock would be thrown out of his hands into the pond once more. Now molding chakra into his hands he would begin to stabilize the chakra into his palm. Bending down he would begin to pick up some dirt from the ground, and then placing it upon his palm. As the dirt would be placed into his hand he would begin to mold the rock into it's own creation. The dirt would become into a solid rock, one he could use to his own liking.

Molding chakra into both palms of his hand he would begin to stabilize it to use for himself. He would bend down, grabbing the soil beneath him with both hands. As his hands began to send chakra through the dirt it would begin to stabilize the dirt. As it did so the dirt began to become very hard, and he would put his hands together. As his hands wouldcome together he would press pressure on both sides of the forceful push.

As he did so the rock would finally begin to be formed, and as this was happening a bigger rock was being made. The rock would be about the size of his head, meaning he had an even bigger threat upon to use the rock. The rock he held in his hands was greatily heavy, and he would drop it into the water, seeing if he could use hte technique into battle.

The day was just an average day, Kuro was getting annoyed not being able to go out on a mission, so he had decided to train. His older brother and teammate Nataku had been busy these past few days. He walked outside of the village and found a pond about 100 meters north of the gate. He thought this would be a fine place for him to train his Kirigakure no Jutsu. He pulled his bag off his back, and opened it up. He reached in and filed through some scrolls. He found the one he had been looking for. He opened it, it read Kirigakure no Jutsu(Hidden Mist). He sat down and read the scroll carefully.

Kirigakure no Jutsu, an ideal escape or assassination jutsu. This ability allows the user to create a dense mist in the surroundings leaving virtually no visibility for the opponents or user. So the user must be able to pin-point the target with zero visibility. He continued to read it carefully learning the hand seals and committing them to memory. He practiced them three times through. The first time slowly, making sure for no flaws. Second time he picked up the pace slightly, and third time, he preformed them as quickly as possible with no flaws. He grinned, this jutsu would make things a lot easier for him to get away if needed.

Kuro stood up, setting the scroll down by his bag. He faced the pond, then closed his eyes. He took in a deep breath then preformed the hand seals. Holding his hands in the last seal he focused his chakra to his eyes and releasing out of them, and into the water. He kept his thoughts on zero visibility. Perfect for the Silent Assassination. He pushed more chakra out of his body, he continued this as if to be meditating for ten minutes. He then slowly opened his eyes.

"Damn," he said quietly to himself, nothing had happened, he had failed completely at his first attempt. He released his hand seal, and looked around, when suddenly he remember. He had to be on the water. Kuro grinned, feeling stupid he stepped out onto the pond, and then took in a deep breath as he closed his eyes. He preformed the hand seals once again, and then focused the chakra out of his feet this time, just like training for the Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu. He focused completely on the water below him, he felt his chakra molding with the water around him, but felt no real affect taking hold. He focused more chakra out of his feet and into the pond. He felt the water to start take affect, but not exactly in the way he wanted. It began to churn as if to make a Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu. He pushed more chakra out of his feet and into the water, and the water just churned more rapidly. He opened his eyes to see the progress. Nothing had happened, other then the water churning around his feet.

"What am I doing wrong?" he asked himself. He jumped off to the shore, and picked up the scroll. He opened it reading it carefully. After reading it a third time, he realized he should be focusing more on the water in the air around him. Not so much the water below him. He looked back out at the pond, noticing a large rock in the middle of it. He jumped out to it, keeping the scroll with him. He landed on the rock, it was a flat rock, and allowed him to sit in a meditation state. Kuro put the scroll inside his cloak, and closed his eyes, taking in once again another deep breath. He formed the hand seals holding his hands in the last seal. He focused pushing his chakra out from all points of his body, to densen the water in the air around him. He kept his thoughts at peace, and felt the air grow more dense. The calming sound of the breeze helped Kuro keep his meditation state. He was slowly but surely pouring his chakra out into the air around him.

Kuro opened his eyes slowly breaking the state of meditation. He looked around, a mist had certainly formed but nothing to the point of zero visibility, he still had around a 200 meter visibility. He nodded, this was an improvement, much better then what he had thought he would get. "Alright, now then, lets see if we can get it down to 100 meters." he said, then once again closed his eyes, he formed the hand seals once again. Then focusing on releasing chakra from all points on his body. This time also sending some of his chakra into the water of the pond below. He needed to thicken the mist, and a great deal of chakra and water will be needed to do so. He focused on the calming feeling of the mist around him, adding to a state of meditation that he needed to practice this jutsu. He continued a steady pace of chakra release for a minute or so, then stepped it up a notch and doubled his chakra output. He felt it taking hold. He continued this pace for around 5minutes time before he slowly opened his eyes again. He looked around, seeing the thick mist around him. He had thickened it considerably but still not to zero. This time his visibility was around 120 meters.

Kuro waits around, adjusting his eyes to the mist without panicking. It is fine and all. Not wanting to rush his training as he never does. Though visibility is not zero like he would like it to be, he will simply try again once this mist is gone.

As the mist finally does vanish from around him, he tries once more. Hid hands pacing through the few signs and holding the last. "Hidden Mist Jutsu." The clouds seem to appear from the three intersecting water ways and roll back in around him. Every thing gains a ghostly appeal as he drops his hands, however, there is still visibility, though the ground appears white. He can still look out over the terrain around him. Not at all what he wants. But still he lets this mist linger, almost like gradually adjusting his eyes to what is here.

Then as this mist disipates, Kuro again adjusts his hands to the signs and says the words, "Hidden Mist Jutsu." The mist rises for a third time though the ground whites out the area around him becomes less easy to see this time. Apparently he is working toward improvement for what he needs. A mist so dense that he can't see anything is the goal, this mist lacks some but is closer toward that.

Kurobegins to apply hishearing here as he tries to move around some. Feeling hisway to the water's edge, he hopes not to fall in. He inches along to the area in front of him, feeling his way as well as concentrating on the sound of running water. His foot does go in, but Kuro forces himself to fall backwards rather then forwards, probably the only reason why he didn't end up in the water.

As the mist disipates, he rings out his sock and puts it back on as well as his shoe. "That was almost a disaster." I have a jutsu to learn, not a swim in mind."

Once he is situated again, Kuro stands up and moves his hands through the handsigns, "Hidden Mist Jutsu." The mist rises around her and this cloud of mist is maybe 5% visibility. Getting close to the goal. This is a thrill some to Kuro. "Just a little more."

He then closed his eyes again and began to focus his chakra. He let the chakra seep out of his hands and into the air. The mist started to quickly densen. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around him. The visibility was now zero, he could barley see out in front of him. "Good thing I can hear my oppenents, if I couldnt... this wouldnt be much use" he said with a grin. Kuro then started to do some handseals. Five water clones appeared from each side of him. He then tapped his shoes alittle to the ground and sound waves went through the area. With his sonar jutsu he could pinpoint where the clones were. "There... " he said as he threw five kunai in the mist. Then all he could hear was water dispersing. He new he got the water clones, but he couldnt see them. Kuro then dispearsed the mist and started to train a new technique.

"Sonar"
Rank: "D" "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplemenatry
Effect: The user can locate the general location of enemies.
Special: Bird, Boar, Ox
Drawback: Some objects might interfere with the sonar. Low rank provides a 2-D reading (explained below). Must be learned multiple times
Description: The user performs the need handseals. From there, the user emits 3, very low pitched sound waves(via voice or weapon). The sound travels very quickly in a 360 degree radius. The low pitched sound bounces off various objects with the area and returns to the user to interpret. With this done, the user can pin point enemy movement and location in fractions of a second. The draw back to this that the sound wave only travels in a flat line until a C-rank is attained.
The user begins with 10 meters distance, increasing 20 Meters every time learned. After 50 meters, Training is moved to a C-Rank, which then allows the user to emit the sound wave in all three dimensions. Every time learned in C-ranked increase the distance to 25 meters, With a maximum of 150 meters.
Limit: Must have sound release.

Kuro entered an area close by the village of rain, there was a forest nearby which was easier for Kuro to practice this technique. He entered the forest and picked a suitable spot, it wasn't too open and there was alot of insect activity nearby which would help with his training.

He closed his eyes and performed three hand seals, bird-bear-ox, after the third technique he began to use his sound release to emit sound waves from his mout which was slightly open in a 360 degree flat line. As the waves hit an object they bounced back allowing his to 'see' everything that was happening around him.

He already knew this technique this time he was trying to increase its range from 10 meters to 30 meters. As he began to emit the sound from his mouth he began to use more chakra and more force when sending the sound waves. He needed to keep the wavelenght and frequency of the sound the same while increasing the overall distance and speed of the wave. This was difficult to do and required alot of practice.

The method that he chose to use was simple first he was stand near a tree so that the sound waves were reflected back. Once this had been done he would step backwards and keep walking backwards until the sound waves no longer reached it. He would then remain in this position concentrating his chakra and increasing his overall range.

Once he had managed to reach the tree he would simply take a further step backwards and continue to increase the range. The first few steps where easy, he had already learnt the basics of the technique so increasing its range slightly was nothing. It was after a while that Kuro began to notice the difficulty.

However he did not falter, his detirmation and the look of concentration remained the same, he had to do this now matter what. With each step he took back he became closer to reaching his target of 30 meters. He continued to repeat the hand seals with each attempt and producing a low pitched sound from his mouth. To most it looked as though he was just looking at a tree with his mouth wide open.

He stepped back once more, he had travelled far back already and couldn't be far from the 30 meters. He began to emit the sound, nothing came back from the tree, he tried again, still nothing. He poured more and more chakra into the sound while attempting to throw his voice even further, eventually the sound came back.

As Kuro moved further and further away from the tree he started to understand how the technique worked and found it easier to control his chakra and increase the overall range of the technique. He continued to take steps back and then perform the technique over and over again until he had reached the tree.

Eventually he had stepped back almost twenty meters which when added to the ten meters he was already capable of meant that he had nearly mastered this stage of the technique. He stepped back once more and performed the hand seals, sending soundwaves out in a 360 degree 2d circle from his mouth. He continued creating he sound until it had bounced back from the tree.

A couple of more steps and he had estimated that his distance was as close to 30 meters as possible. Now to make sure that the technique worked properly at this range. He once again performed the handseal and this time as he produced the sound from his mouth he through a Shuriken towards the tree. As the shuriken moved through the sound waves Kuro was provided with a mental picture of the shuriken moving away from him.

The picture became fuzzier and harder to locate the further away the shuriken got. He continued to repeat this process as he had done with his other training method. Each time the shuriken moved further away he attempted to concentrate on the reflected sound waves more and finely tune them to produce a sharper picture.

Each time he had used about five shuriken he would walk to the tree and pull them from its thick bark before returned back to his spot 30 meters away. Once he had returned to his spot he completed the process again until eventually he was able to successfully produce a clear 'picture' throughout the entire range.

Deciding it would be best to train outside the area of the village were reconstruction would be taken place, Kuro took a scroll out from his pack. Opening it he read through the various jutsus, looking for one that might help with the weeks of work that lay ahead for the village and its people. "Ah!!!...heres one, the sonar technique. Yeah this would help greatly if we need to find equipment or help locate those who did not make it out in time, and are still stuck in the debri." he thought to himself.

Taking only a few more minuets to look over the jutsu once more, he prepared himself. Getting into a solid position, he closed his eye and began to mold his chakra. After preforming the needed hand signs Kuro stomped his foot into the ground. Feeling three faint vibrations emitteing from were his foot made contact, Kuro allowed a small grin to spread accross his face, as he waited for the pings to return signaling the location of any objects within the vacenity.

At this thought, he felt the vibrations return. A little concerned that he had not felt anything he peeped out of his left eye, seeing there was in fact an oak tree not three meters from him. Knowing that the scroll mentioned that the user would only be cable of finding objects within ten meters, he became a little discouraged. Shrugging it off as he thought to himself "well it was only my first try, so you cant really expect much more than that.". Quickly, Kuro closed his eyes and prepared to retry the jutsu. Once more lifting his leg and driving it back into the ground as he preformed the handsigns. Feeling the three vibrations leave his foot again he pateintly waited for them to return, hopfully with a signal this time.

As the pings returned, Kuro felt a presence, as if somthing were standing there infront of him but he could not tell what it was. Opening his eyes, he saw that it was rock from the village wall, excited that he had felt the rocks presence he snaped back into position to attempt the jutsu again. Taking the time to mold his chakra, Kuro once more did the required hand signs as he lifted his leg to drive his foot to the ground. Emitting the three vibrations again, he noticed that with every attempt of the jutsu the pings would return to him at a faster rate. The first attempt taking a minuet, than the second being cut in half taking only thirty seconds. At this thought the pings had returned, taking a milisecond to ackowledge that it only took ten seconds for the ping to return, he quickly tryed to analyse the vibrations in an attempt to see what the object was without even looking at it.

"Um..its a rock, wait no tree. No...its a...log? he slowly thought with a hint of confusion. Opening his eyes he found that it was infact a fallen log he had heard. With a mild roar Kuro jumped into the air letting out a yell of accomplishment. Not wanting to stray to far off training, he quickly regained his composer and readyed himself for another attempt. This time taking only seconds to mold his chakra, Kuro let his leg rise than slam back to the earth, hitting with a thud as the three vibrations clearly left his foot outwards in a 360 degree radius.

Not having any time to think before the pings returned this time Sai began to try and interpet the pings. Thinking it over he noticed them begin to take form in his mind, almost as if the vibration he had sent out were returning with a 2-D picture of what they had bounced off of. Taking a wild guess at what the hazy image was he blurted out "big Rock", as he opened his eyes to see that a fat travling merchant had just walked by, turning to look at the Gennin with a look of disgust and hatred. Both embarrased and very apoogetic, he tryed desperatly to make sure the merchant had accepted his apology. But to no avail, feeling a tad bit bad about the mistake, and about having possibly hurt the large mans feelings. He shruged it off and returned to his training, closing his eyes as he had done before, Kuro formed the hand signs and stomped his foot into the ground. Emitting the vibrations, within a second later they would return, giving him a slightly clear image of what they had bounced off of.

Hoping that there wernt any other large people walking around him, he quietly said "tree". Opening his eyes slowly, he saw a tree standing directly to the right of him. Smiling with a since of acomplishment, he felt a sudden weakness in his knees. "Must have over done it a bit" he thought to himself as he ploped down to take a breather. Looking over the days training in his mind, Kuro was happy with his progress and would be glad when he would be able to put his new jutsu to use.

Just as this tought left his mind, Kuro noticed that the sun was setting. Deciding it would probally be best to leave and continue training tommarow, he picked up his things and began the long walk home.

Kuro awoke the next day to find sensai standing over him. "Time to get you to a C ranked Sonar level," said sensai. "Oy, alright," said Kuro. They went outside to the center of the mist village. "Okay start here," said sensai. Kuro performed the needed handseals, then he emitted 3, very low pitched sound waves. The sound traveled quickly in a 360 degree radius. The low pitched sound waves bounced off objects and it returned to Kuro. "Only 15 meters," said Kuro. "I'm tired of my waves going in a flat line, I cannot wait for the C ranked sonar, it will be hard though," said Kuro.

Kuro had to keep putting more chakra into his palms and emitted some sound waves, the sound waves seemed a little louder to him each time he put more chakra into the sound waves. He knew it was getting better, but he was also getting tired very easily, and sensai wasn't helping by screaming at him the whole time. Kuro began to focus his chakra into one point of his palm instead of the whole thing, when he did that the sound waves traveled faster. He would then concentrate all the chakra into one point on the ground and the chakra would therefore move faster and bounce off more objects.

He still would only reach up to 15 meters, but now it was getting very easy for him. sensai then started showing him how to get it to go faster without using that much chakra, but then he started getting to the 15 meter radius instead of 20, the 15 meter radius got very easy for him, and he was able to complete it 5 times in a row. He then would decrease it on the 6th try which was not good for him. He was easily getting tired, this would not just take a 24 hour period. He would faint and sensai would bring him home. He then would awake and go do it again, he then started to do it 6 times in a row without failing. Then he would loose too much chakra and would be forced to stop. On the third day he completed it 6 times in a row and he went for another.

"Yes!" cried Kuro. "I did it a 7th time, phew," said Kuro. "Yes but you still are not able to go to the 20 meter distance which is your goal...." said sensai. "Yes I know, tomorrow I will be able to do it 10 times in a row, then after that, I will be able to do the 20 meter distance," said Kuro. Kuro was correct, the next day he used the 15 meter radar 10 times in a row, and on the last three he strained himself which made him faint again. On the next day sensai was not there, she was already in the center of the mist village, he went out there, "alright, this is what you will have to do, send chakra spiralling through the hand and then slam it on the ground," said sensai. Kuro tried it at first and got an 18 meter distance, he tried it again and the three sound waves did not only go in a straight line, it created a dome shaped siren that reached 20 meters in all directions. "That was not that hard," said sensai.

"Your telling me....I have to complete 10 of these in a row though....these are crazy," said Kuro. Kuro then tried it twice in a row and got it. He tried it the third time but the radius decreased in the sound waves. "Gah, my goal for tomorrow is 5 times in a row, you'll see!" said Kuro. The next day he was up earlier than sensai, he tried it the first time and aced it. He tried it the second time and he felt nothing but it still went 20 meters. The third time was the hardest, he used a lot of chakra the third time and got 20 meters. The 4th time was a little easier and he got the 20 meter radius, at the 5th time he was already panting, "alright here we go!" said Kuro as chakra was directed to one point of the palm and them spun, and then smacked on the ground, it went another 20 meters. "Yes!" said Kuro as he fell backwards. "Oy, in about two more days that C ranked Sonar will be mine...." said Kuro.

The next day Kuro was sore all over, he had been using massive amounts of chakra and with no rest. He was getting much better though, he did it 5 times in a row again, and without a sweat, he was panting a little from chakra loss though. He did it three more times, but he strained himself on all three of them, but he did use the 20 meter range, and he did not faint suprisingly, but he was getting increasingly tired by the second. He walked home alone that night and fell asleep.

The next morning he felt great, beautifully rested, "how long was I out sensai? " said Kuro. "A little over 16 hours," said sensai. "Fuck!" said Kuro. Kuro rushed outside, he started practicing, he did the sonar with a 20 meter range 8 times in a row, he was panting heavily, "fuck..." said Kuro. "Oy, here it goes, the 9th time!" said Kuro, he sent chakra to the palm spinning and slammed it on the ground, 3 sound waves went in a 360 degree radius and in a dome shape, and he had done it his 9th time.

He was barely standing, he was panting heavily, he was determined to get it the 10th time, he bundled up all the chakra he had left, and directed it into his palm, he slammed it on the ground, he heard a siren, it came back to him, 20 meters, 12 people walking around, none are lethal, none are carrying weapons, overall good. He fell back, "finally.." said Kuro.

It was time for Kuro to start to get close to the C ranked Sonar, he only had to get 50 meters 10 times in a row and he would be okay with it. Kuro started off molding his chakra, he did not even want to go near using the 50 meter range because he knew it would be very dangerous if he just started out with the 50 meter radius distance, it was much harder than a 40 meter range. Kuro spent 24 hours meditating and molding his chakra, he found it quite boring and would try very hard not to get distracted, which worked out a little bit, the only time he would stop was to eat.

The next day he awoke in the meditative stance, so he started molding his chakra again, he knew his chakra flow was getting bigger, and he could feel it. He decided that after that day he would do it once more and then start the training. sensai left the dojo, she went to go get some ramen from the ramen bar to give to Kuro. Kuro stood very hungry but he still meditated, he was finding that it was easy to put hunger out of the mind when he meditated. He kept molding his chakra until sensai came in, then he got up silently and ate. After he ate he kept on with his training and fell asleep, he awoke the next morning. "Finally, the last day," stated Kuro. Kuro made the time go by faster by going into his own place, he wondered how strong he would be when he was older, he was very eager, sooner than later his training was over and he fell asleep in the meditative spot again.

Kuro awoke the next day and bounced up, he felt rejuvinated for practically sleeping 3 days, he was ready to start training, he awoke sensai and she started training him. "Alright, now for a 50 meter range, it will be much harder because more chakra will have to enter the palm this time, and your sound waves will have to travel faster than ever.." said sensai. Kuro shook his head in approval, they started their training, Kuro gathered chaka in both of his hands this time and at the center he swirled them, he then layed his two hands on the ground, he did not slam them, he then jolted the chakra out of his palms into sound waves that went faster than the other times, he could tell he made progress. "50 meters it is, 8 birds above the dojo now, 20 people in all outside, 12 men, 8 women, and only 5 animal companions, and the guards are standing at the front of the gates," said Kuro. He then dispelled the jutsu and looked at sensai, she smiled. "Well that was perfect, now if you can do it 10 times in a row you will have perfected the technique, so 9 more times to go," said sensai.

Kuro shook his head in approval again and he did the same thing, molded chakra in both hands and placed them on the ground therefore creating soundwaves that would travel faster in the 360 degree dome vision. "This is hardly taking any chakra at all," said Kuro. "Good, then the 8 more times will not be hard then right?" asked sensai. "I do not know about the 8 more times but I do feel better at this," said Kuro. Kuro did it another time, this time he did it with less precision but it was 50 meters nonetheless. He started concentrating more on how close apart he put his hands, that way he could get an even further reach, but still at the 50 meter distance. He did so and he started to improve, he was on his 4th try, and he did it without a sweat, now things started to get tense.

"Now you will need 6 more times to complete our training today," said sensai. "Yes I know, here goes another!" said Kuro. He felt his arms getting tired and his chakra getting unstable a little, but he did it the 5th time. He was breathing heavily but not panting, it was if he ran a little while then stopped suddenly, he started to get light headed. He did it the 6th time while straining himself, which was not good. He fell down, "I wish to do it more, but I have no more chakra left," said Kuro. "Alright, well you will need to do it 10 times by the next two days because that is all we have left," said sensai. "Yes, I understand," said Kuro. Kuro molded his chakra that night and fell asleep but not in the meditative stance. He awoke the next day but it was not morning, it was night, "wow, I did not know I would sleep that long!" said Kuro. "Oh no, tomorrow is the last day!" said Kuro. Kuro started molding his chakra until the sun came up, "today is the last day," said Kuro to himself.

He awoke sensai, sensai awoke, "wow how long did I sleep?" asked sensai. "Almost 24 hours," said Kuro. "I have to do it 10 times in a row today or I will not be able to finish!" said Kuro. sensai got herself and started pumping him up, "alright, do not sweat it, you did it 6 times the day before yesterday so today should be a breeze for 10," said sensai. Kuro got high minded at this point, "yeah your right, I can do it!" said Kuro. Kuro stood up, he did the first sonar without a spec of a sweat, he did a second time and did it as good as the first, the third time was as good as the first, even the fourth time he had no struggles, he did it a 5th time and still had not broken a sweat from all the other times he had done it. He did it a 6th time and felt very tired, "oy 4 more times..." he repeated to himself.

Kuro attempted the 7th time, he did it but with little strain, he was panting heavily, "here goes the 8th try.." said Kuro. Kuro did it the 8th time with more strain than the 7th, he was panting even more, "i have little chakra left," he said while looking at sensai. "Only two more, do not give up now, your 80% there.." said sensai. Kuro did it the 9th time and it hurt his stomach and arms this time, he fell to the ground, "it was 50 meters, but this time it hurt badly.." said Kuro. He looked as if he wanted to throw up, "What would your mother want you to do.." said sensai. A spark went off in his head, he started thinking about his mother, and the way his father treated him.

A sudden anger fell into his heart, he started to cry a little bit, he clapped his hands together and it could be heard 20 meters away, Kuro screamed a little performing the sonar again, he slammed his hands on the ground this time, another 50 meters reached, "someone is coming.." said Kuro wiping the tears off of his face. sensai went to the door, she opened it, it was the Dojo master, "your time is up now you must leave," said the dojo master. Kuro was relieved that he finally did it, he then went to sensai's and fell asleep, while sensai went out to shop.

The next day he awoke to a good smell, sensai had cooked breakfast, and he could not wait to eat, she came in with a plate and gave it to him, she watched him eat, "today you will master the C ranked Sonar ability," said sensai. "I thought I did that yesterday...." said Kuro. "Yesterday you were alseep, you have been asleep 2 whole days," said sensai. "Oh, I am very sorry then," said Kuro. "Do not bother yourself over it, you are rested, and you will need to do the 50 meter sonar 10 more times without getting tired this time," said sensai. He gulped, "alright, let me finish eating," said Kuro. He finished eating and they went outside to the center of the mist village.

Kuro did it 5 times in a row without breaking a sweat, and then another 4 times without breaking a sweat, he then caught it amazing how he was not tired on his 9th try, he smiled and did it a 10th time and aced it, sensai gave him a hug, "there you go, now you have learned the C ranked Sonar jutus," said sensai. "Thanks, I will want to learn more jutsu from you in time," said Kuro. "Okay, that will have to start now then," said sensai. Kuro had finally learned the C ranked Sonar technique.

[Kumo Kouba]

Fukuwajutsu (Ventriloquism)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user throws their voice off in a different direction so then opponents or those who wish to hear coming from the user wont be capable of hearing.
Special: "Handsigns" and "Hold with Ram"
Drawback: Can not throw more then six words at a time. Maximum distance of this technique is fifty meters in radius.
Description: The user concentrates on the chakra within, and along the mouth. As they do this the user transmits a few words and uses their sound release to where the sound does not come forth. As the user does this the words are "thrown" out. This allows them throw their voice or move any sounds they can make with their mouth to any location without the sound fading. If by chance the user is capable of noticing or knowing the exact location of an ear, the user is capable of whispering the message into their ear.
Limit: Sound Release

0/10

"Hey sensei, time for some more techniques, I am wanting to train more every day now," said Kuro walking into the door of her dojo at the back of her house. "Hmm, I will teach you a great jutsu that would help you out in the heat of hiding," said sensei, her voice did not come from herself though, it came from behind him, he quickly looked behind him, all he saw were the white draped doors of her dojo, he checked the cieling, nothing was there, he then checked the floor but nothing to be found. "You will not find anything, I am using the ventriloquism technique," said sensei as her voice appeared back to her original body. Kuro found it quite fascinating that he was able to throw her voice so far in one technique, and at that moment he wanted to learn it. he then threw her voice again to the far back of the dojo where a handful of other teenagers Kuro's age stood up. They then came and stood in front of her.

"Alright, I shall teach you all the ventriloquism technique, it is not a hard one but you must know how to use it correctly," said sensei. Ryu did not know he had so many students at hand, but Kuro was ready to train. They were brought outside of the dojo where it was very grassy, the grass stood over Kuro's head, there were no stones in the ground, and there was a sound of rippling water coming from her small 10 foot waterfall he had placed there. All the kids then listened to her explain what was going to happen, it turns out all they had to do was hold the ox sign then mold chakra into their wind pipes to throw their voices into a deeper place, of course it would be hard at first since a sound would come out before they emitted the sound wave from their lungs.

They then each walked into the thick and tall grass one by one, all of them using their "no sound" foot technique that allowed them to make no sound while going into the thick grass. They then waited to be signaled by sensei's voice to begin, it was to be a match to see who would win, but in the end all of them would be winners because they would all learn the ventriloquism technique. No one had known that Kuro created a clone and was still in the dojo but sensei, he kept quiet and used the ventriloquism technique to throw his voice, he then used his sonar technique to find out where they were so he would throw their technique in the right spot while letting his clone know where to move next.

His clone stayed very low on the ground, he could not use the "no sound" step technique so he stayed in one spot acting like a huge rock, he then made him move a little which would make eveKurone else think that it was just an act of ventriloquism so they had to see where the sound was coming from. His clone then jumped high in the ground to see the people walking around, there were only five others, the clone landed in the grass and then dahed in the direction to dodge all of them, two of the genin came towards the clone, they could not see him physically, "i'm behind you!" said Kuro throwing his voice with the ventriloquism technique, the two genin looked back but saw nothing, they did not even see each other, they were standing right next to each other but the thick grass made it impossible to see.

Kuro then made a water clone and made it walk slowly down the steps and into the thick grass, "Your really thinking hard about this one," said sensei. Kuro did not speak, he only tapped on the floor to show his approval. Kuro then got up and started to walk into the grass using his "no sound" technique. He stood at the edge of the grass, he heard some genin fighting, he jumped to the top of the dojo roof, it had white tiles, he used his cloak of invisibility, which he was sure most of the other ninja were now doing the same, from the top of the dojo he watched the others blindsight each other, then in the blink of an eye Kuro used his teppodama technique and shot it straight at one of their heads, it hit one of the genin straight in the head, the other shinobi heard the direction it came from and looked up, but they saw nothing, he was still cloaked.

He then jumped as far as he could and landed on the water and it made a rippling sound, "Shit!" said Kuro as he identified himself, he threw his voice to another spot, "fuck I think they heard me!" all the ninja went to the spot that they heard the noise, he then used his lightning ball, it stunned one in the back, he jumped in the air and they did not see him, he then used his body flicker and teleported in front of one and kneed them in the stomach and one of them fell. He then used the invisibility cloak and went inside the thick grass running around, there was only one other opponent, he then jumped back onto the top of the giant waterfall and waiting for the opponent, he kept himself cloaked and made his clone stand right beside him, the genin came out the grass rushing at Kuro's clone. Kuro's clone did nothing but stand there, the genin used a sound bullet technique, it hit the clone but the clone regenerated itself, the shinobi then stopped, he as at the bottom of the waterfall standing in water.

That is when Kuro made his next move, he used his body flicker and was down there in a flash, he then revealed himself and used the water prision jutsu and caught the genin in the water ball. "Well played game," said sensei as he clapped. Kuro deactivated the jutsu and then deactivated his clone, "this is my best student, y'all don't forget him," said sensei as he smiled and put her arm over him when he walked up there. The genin got up all saying , "aah," or "ooh!" They got up walked in, most of them had hands on their backs except for the kid who was trapped into the water prision. Kuro was about to walk out, "you think your done slick, your not even near done, you still have another training position we have to teach you about the ventriloquism technique," said sensei.

Kuro looked back as if to say he was not having that. he grabbed his arm and swung him outside. She then placed rocks and other metal objects onto the ground, "Now this will make it harder," said sensei. Kuro smiled and created a hidden mist, he was going to give her students a show they would remember. "Kuro not now.....are you kidding me, i'm in the middle of training!" said sensei as she marched into the mist. Kuro used his "no sound" technique and walked around, he knew exactly where she was because she was screaming, or was she only using her ventriloquism technique? He had to think hard about this one. He used his cloak of invisibility technique, he then stood still, "over here!" screamed Kuro throwing his voice from inside the dojo then it hit all the metallic objects and the rocks and it bounced everywhere. "Very clever, but that will be for another technique," said Lulu as she threw her voice closer to him, he knew what was happening though, there was no way she saw him.

Kuro saw her use her lightning flash technique and that was her biggest mistake, he cleared the mist. He saw her and her only, "I see what your doing," said sensei, before she completed handsigns he used the body flicker technique and teleported in front of her, of course she could not see him yet, he then used his lightning flash technique and blinded her in the eye. She did not scream that time, "old times...never gets old," said Kuro as he deactivated the jutsu, "Shit!" said Kuro as he realized it was a clone, she struck him in the back of the neck and he went down.

He got back up, "damnit, I was for sure I had you," said Kuro. "Not this time, you have much more to do," said sensei going back into the dojo. Kuro followed her, "well is there more to the ventriloquism technique?" asked Kuro as he followed her into the dojo, "no not at all, but there is an advanced version of the ventriloquism technique which I will teach you tomorrow," said Kuro. Kuro was excited, but he could not think of how it could have gotten more complicated with a technique that useful, but he decided to let her teach the rest of her class period then he walked out to return tomorrow for a solo lesson.
