A Burst Of Art [Training]

[arranfar]

Ultimately, there were times that the young artist needed to go a little bit farther with her training, and particularly, she was trying to improve the rate that she could make some bigger clay creations. Not yet having reached the level of some of her peers in order to earn her explosive powers, she took the liberty to reach into her pouch, taking out a lump of training clay, clay that was all so useful for training herself. However, as of now, she wanted to get a bit better at making her bombs faster, if that was within her ability that is. Taking a mouthful of clay, she dumped it into her mouth, chewing with a slight cringe. It was pretty bad, but it wasn’t as if she wasn’t accustomed to this by now. With a few chews, getting a feel for the sticky, chewy substance, she finally spit it out into her hand.

The next phase though was far easier to pull off. She had a bit more experience actually molding her clay creations as opposed to infusing them with chakra. As she rested her hands along the thing, she firmly molded them into a clay bat like creature with two eyes and a W for a mouth. “Hmm...well then! Let’s give it a try shall we?!” Tossing the thing into the air, she formed the tiger sign as she yelled, “Katsu!” An poof of smoke left the clay suddenly bursting into a small bat creature, about half a foot tall as it’s mouth opened wide. Flying out with the will of it’s master, her hand still remained with the tiger seal. Knowing her bomb here paled in comparison in longevity compared to the others, she called out a declaration. “Katsu!”

With a moment, the bat like creature popped with a burst of wind. Okay, so she could pull off that pretty well. Big deal. It was something she was pretty used to at this point. “Not bad...I suppose. Though, it doesn’t have the same satisfaction as the real deal I suppose. Still.” The little girl admired her art in earnest, imagining the pop in all regards, wishing only she could have made an actual blast. Her idea was to eventually join the demolitions unit for Iwagakure, as many of her clan members likely were. However, she was going to have to do quite a bit of training for that to happen. So, probably not anytime soon. Oh well, a girl like her needed to have some optimism to make her dreams happen right?

Slowly stepping forward, she grabbed the bits of clay off the floor, molding it back into a ball, quickly then shoving it back into her mouth. What was she going to make next? Well, that was a good question now wasn’t it? Something with a bit more chakra in it this time. A little more bite to the blast that should be her art. Afterwards, she could begin a bit more of a rigorous training to make some new bombs to add to her arsenal. That sounded nice.

"Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) [D-Rank]

Rank: D, C, B, A, S ranked

Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.

Effect: Allows the user to give a piece of clay explosive properties. Also determines the speed at which the user can produce a clay bomb(s). (See more below)

Special: Please refer to “Katsu”.

The clay bombs characteristics is directly dependent of the user rank of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life).

The Amount of bombs; the amount of clay slots used to make a bomb; the size of the clay bomb; the maximum distance in which a clay creature may travel; and the amount of hands required to make a bomb will be stated within the bomb itself. (See more below)

Drawback: The user must load the piece of clay into a mouth begin to chew. Every clay creation requires a certain amount of clay slots and time to prepared. Certain bombs regardless of the users rank, will require additional time and perpetration (stated with the jutsu itself) (See more below)

Description: The user loads a piece of clay into their mouths (any mouth) and begins to command the mouth the chew at the piece of clay. What is truly occurring during this mastication process is that the user is injecting and infusing their chakra directly into the piece of clay. Due to the user's bloodline trait, the relocation and concentration of their Tenketsu allows the user is able to pump and redirect a very large amount of chakra to there hands and into the piece of clay (more than humanly possible). The mouths of the user allow for rigorous chewing, ensuring that their chakra is evenly dispersed throughout the piece of clay. Once the user feels that the piece of clay has been properly imbued with their chakra, the user commands the mouth to spit out the prepped piece of clay, allowing for the next stage in refinement to occur. (See "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)). If the user knows the D-ranked version of "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion), they may only create up to D-ranked Bombs. If the user knows the C-ranked version of this technique, they may create only C-rank bombs and the D-ranked bombs before that; and so on and so forth until S-ranked is achieved (though some Bombs may state otherwise).

Each Ranked Clay bomb requires a certain amount of time to be prepped. The user's class and the bombs rank directly effects the amount of time the user will have to spend in preparation. The increased speed is due to the fact that as the user grows in strength and skill, thus so does his or her abilities to handle clay and produce clay bombs. This amount of time has been measured in post lengths:

Creation Times D-Class C-Class B-Class A-Class S-Class

D-Rank Techs 1 Post = 6 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs

C-Rank Techs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs

B-Rank Techs 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 Secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs

A-Rank Techs XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs

S-Rank Techs XXX XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs

Limit: Sankuchi blood line. Must be learned Multiple time as the user cannot gain A rank without first knowing D, C and B ranks. Must know "Kuchisaki Seichuu" (Mouth Control)

As the girl finished her chewing a second time, she slowly spat out a ball like shape into her hand that seemed to have segmented little sections running along its body. It unrolled into a spider like shape. Now, she needed to infuse enough for a bigger bomb. Letting it go, it scurried across the ground a little as she quickly went for another lump of training clay. Shoving it into her mouth hole, she chewed, adjusting her tongue, moving it to around to infuse a greater amount of chakra. However, she had to work on doing it faster, quicker. This was a larger bomb, and as a result was going to need a larger amount of chakra for her intention. However, as the initial spider creation went limp, she knew she failed.

She stopped chewing for a moment, exasperated slightly, but she continued on, until it felt about right. Spitting the thing into her hand, she clamped her hands around it, that was until she procured a four winged little insect creature. “A little something with more kick this time!” As she threw it, it flew very fast, and as she did, she formed the tiger seal. The little bomb suddenly grew to be a foot long as she prepared herself for a stronger blast than what she had before. “KATSU!” Despite the time needed, she had been able to infuse the amount of chakra properly. It was the restraint of time that was troubling her. How did she know? Well, the detonation spoke for itself. She knew her jutsu and how to use it.

As the thing exploded, it released a stronger gust of wind than a normal bomb would, her hair blew back in the wind as she raised her arm up for a moment, taking in that awesome blast. Heh, she knew she could do the bomb infusion just right. She only needed to adjust how FAST she could get the bomb made. Otherwise, it wasn't going to be much use in combat, especially if she was going to have to struggle to work her techniques each time. Hmm, perhaps she ought to put her efforts into some other jutsu as well. It didn't sound like a bad plan if she could say so herself. Anyways, as she looked at her clay, she stepped forward, picking it up off the floor. One more attempt. That's what she'd do. Hopefully, she’d be able to make her art just as fine of quality, just a little faster.

As the child regathered all of her clay, perhaps she needed to change up her style of technique in order to produce a better bomb at a faster pace? As she gathered the clay along the floor, she shoved it into her mouth once she rolled it into a ball. “Alright then. Let’s do this.” Chewing with the entirety of her mouth, rolled it around her mouth with the twist of her tongue, swirling her tongue around in a circular motion as her chakra had been infused into the mound of chewy clay. She rushed chakra into her mouth, forming her hand in the ram sign to better focus her chakra. “Ikuzo.” She had confidence the bomb had been infused evenly and well enough. Hopefully, if she did it right, she could make some stronger bombs and decently fast enough to be of some great use in combat.

In her hand rested a lump of clay, clay she molded in her hands. The clay was soon formed as she closed her eyes into a squirrel like creature, one with a mouth, wiry little hands, and a pair of over exaggerated chompers as she held it out, throwing it as she held her handseal. With a poof, the creature expanded into a small creature, but if there was a sensor around, they’d certainly see a small condensed form of chakra inside of the automaton. As it dashed out by her command, it crawled upon a tree before she with an overwhelming enthusiasm called out the proper name. “Katsu!”

The bomb detonated, a large gust of wind blew her hair again behind her, the bomb being pretty well crafted. With it a small sense of pride in the bomb clan maker. She giggled slightly in utter pride at the ability to have progressed her craft another level. Finally though, she was done with the actual training exercise. This was excellent as there were a number of jutsu she wanted to be learning, and it was only through greater training in chakra infusion that she’d be able to learn some of those more artistic displays of jutsu. With this exercise done, she could finally take initiative to gain some of those powerful techniques.

Gathering her remainders of clay, she shoved it into her clay pouch after removing a few flecks of dirt and grass. With her clay properly collected, she looked into her small bandolier before removing a scroll from her side. What was the jutsu she was eager to learn? It was a Bunshin no Jutsu, the clay clone jutsu. She needed to diversify her jutsu a bit, and with the proper level of infusion, she could learn this technique, a new creative challenge of her artistic expertise. Her blue eyes scanned the scroll as she tilted her lips upward. “Now then. Let’s try this out shall we?”
