Hayashi was scorned through his childhood for his appearance. His family has always lived alone and just out on the edge of Kusagakure. He has a house made of earth, grass, and timber out in the woods on the border of the Hidden Grass Village. A rather large clearing with a profuse water source. There is a large lake, with a small island in the middle. The clearing contains a large hollow spot in the basin of a tree. This was wear he sleeped.

Hayashi appeared from underneath the ground. He was holding a scroll. It contained the kanji symbol for 'bamboo'. He looked down and opened the scroll. He began reading and quickly finished it. He put it in his pocket and began to think. He did this naturally on the account of being anti-social. A bamboo sheild. The bamboo are strong and a prosperous wood. Naturally, they would be strong enough to defend a taijutsu attack. Hayashi closed his eyes and began to think of ways to attempt this jutsu.

I need steps....I got it! Four steps, First Step: Handsigns. Second Step: Bamboo Growth. Third Step: Bamboo Hardening. Fourth Step: Speed. All of these I can use to enhance my hold on this technique. Hayashi began forming handsigns. "Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox." Hayashi kept creating the handsigns to better memorize the them. "Again! Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox." Hayashi kept practicing the handsigns as best he could.

Hayashi kept practicing his handsigns. "Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox." He continued to practice the handsigns. "Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox." While performing the handsigns, it became more of a second nature being. "Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox." Done. That is one part of my training. I need to proceed to the next phase quickly here. Hayashi had fully memorized the handsigns and continued on to the next step: bamboo growth.

Hayashi quickly moved onto the next step for the jutsu. He repeated the handsigns again, except the only abnormality from the first time was that he is putting chakra into the handsigns. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Naturally, the chakra was distributed and the ground in front of him started to move. A small stick of bamboo moved out of the ground about 3 inches before vanishing. Damn all creation! I need to work harder. The young genin grunted and began with the handsigns again.

Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Hayashi sent more chakra into the handsigns. He stared with concentration as something on the ground moved in front of him. Out poked 3 peices of small, 6 inch peices of bamboo. He groaned and clenched his teeth. His anger grew, but it receded after several minutes of calm, serene thinking. He came back to his senses and began with the handsigns. Once again....Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He surged his chakra into his handsigns and in front of him the ground began to move. 6 peices of bamboo moved out. It kept moving until there was a 10 by 6 inch barrier in front of him. It stopped and receded back to the earth. Hayashi stared in bewilderment, and then restarted his training.

Hayashin kept on training the jutsu. He proceeded on with the handsigns once again. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He channeled his chakra into the handsigns. In front of him the ground started to move. Jutting from the ground, 10 peices of bamboo came out, all at least one foot long. Hayashi stared in amazement at how high it proceeded. Much better then last time. But this will only block a squirrel.

Hayashi groaned and processed the handsigns again. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Now! In front of Hayashi, the ground started to move. The ground pulled out 9 peices of bamboo. It kept emerging until it reached the 14 inch mark. At that point the bamboo receded back into the ground. As it did, Hayashi stared angrily and thought to himself. It isn't the bamboo. It's me. I will keep trying until I figure out what is wrong.

He cracked his knuckles and began with the handsigns. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He sent more chakra into these handsigns. Naturally, the ground in front of him moved. 10, 1 inch wide peices of bamboo moved out of the ground. It struggled its way up to about 15 inches when it stopped. Hayashi stared as it receded back into the fertile earth like a whale descending back to the seafloor.

Hayashi watched his bamboo sheild sink back into the earthy soil. He grunted and sank his chin. The wind blew through his hair gracefully and he thought of what he could do. The solution was not in the bamboo. It was in the handsigns. I need to hold the last handsign and release chakra into it. This way it'll grow and stay grown. Hayashi, marveled by his idea, put it to the test. He began creating handsigns. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He held the ox handsign intently.

Expectedly, the ground in front of the Grass genin had started to move. After a few long held seconds, 48 peices of 1 inch wide bamboo jut out of the ground. He surges more chakra into the handsign and the bamboo kept growing. As it kept growing, Hayashi stopped the handsign when the bamboo reached over 6 feet in length. He stared and marveled at his creation. I have processed the second step of my jutsu. Now I need to test the strength of the bamboo for the third step.

Hayashi placed himself perpidicular to the bamboo. He then swiftly turned and punched the bamboo, breaking it to peices. He held his hand for a moment and thought to himself. I am not even a taijutsu kind of person and it broke. Thus explains why this is a step.

Hayashi smirks and looks at the shattered peices of bamboo laying on the cold, hard ground. He kicked one of the larger peices foward. He then started creating the handsigns for another wall. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. In front of Hayashi, the ground started to move. Once again, a 48 peice binding of 1 inch wide bamboo. It kept surgin upward until Hayashi stopped it at about 6 feet. He held the last handsign a little longer than normal. He attempted channeling the chakra into the bamboo. He secured the chakra into the bamboo and let go of the handsign.

He jumped back a few feet and pulled out three shuriken. He threw them at the sheild. They spiralled through the air and pierced the bamboo. It snapped the bamboo, nearly in half. They flew into the tree behind the broken bamboo. He groaned and thought to himself. What a pain in the ass. Now I have to break the bamboo and create a new one. Hayashi walked up to the partly broken bamboo and thrusted his arm forward. He punched it as hard as he could and it broke. He walked to the tree behind the bamboo pile and took the shuriken out of the tree. He walked back to the pile of bamboo. He put his right hand on his head. Better clean this up. I remember the last time I got lazy when cleaning. The Grass ninja picked up the pile of bamboo and dropped it into the nearby woods. This will decompose for nutrients.

Hayashi sighed and began his training again after dumping the bamboo shavings in the woods. He started creating handsigns. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. Hayashi held the last ox handsign, still folding chakra into it. Once again, in front of Hayashi, the ground started to form an object. Jutting from the ground, 48 1 inch wide bamboo sticks came forth. It kept rising until it stood at about 6 feet high. He kept sending chakra into the bamboo until he felt it was hard enough to block an attack.

Once he was done, he let go of the handsign and jumped back. He pulled out 3 shuriken from his holster. He thrusted his arm around and threw the shuriken at the bamboo wall. It pinned against the wall of bamboo. He smirked and took out a kunai. He rushed towards it in an attack position. He swung around clashed the kunai against the wall. The kunai stuck in and didn't budge. Hayashi smirked when he saw that the wall was strong enough to hold up attacks.

The third step is down. Now I need to be able to get it up fast enough. This will be crucial because if I don't accomplish this next task, then all this training would've been for nothing. Hayashi steps back a bit. He smiles and prepares his next step at this technique.

Hayashi just finished up his training of the third step. He knew what his next step was. He sighed, and pulled the shuriken and kunai out of the bamboo. He jumped back a few steps and readied the fourth phase of the technique. He started to create the handsigns. The fourth step: speed. Let's start. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He channeled the chakra into his handsigns. Expectantly, the ground in front of the Grass genin moved.

Then, what started to jut out of the ground, was 48 1 inch wide peices of bamboo. Hayashi sent chakra into the bamboo as it rose. It started to speed up a little, but not too much. He stopped the production of bamboo when it stood at the height of 6 feet, 7 inches. Hmph. It only rose fast enough to stop a kunai being launched from 45 feet away. That ins't quick enough. Hayashi groaned and punches the bamboo wall. He held his fist there until it started to bleed. He pulled it back and wiped the blood off on his long, black robe.

Damn! This part is crucial. He walked back over to his houselike structure. He reached into a cabinet and pulled out a wooden cup. He walked over to the lake and dipped the cup into it. He drank the water and pondered about how he will complete this step.

Hayashi finished gulping down every last ounce of his drink. He dropped the cup onto the earthbound floor and walked back over to his training spot. From there, stood 3 walls of bamboo, jutting from the earth. He stood in front of the one closest to the lake, but about 5 feet away. He concentrated on creating his handsigns. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He focused chakra into his handsigns and the earth in front of him started to form.

The bamboo started to emerge from the ground. As it did, Hayashi forced more chakra into the last ox handsign. The bamboo started to move a little bit faster than last time. It kept growing until it peaked itself out at 7 feet and 2 inches. He let go of the handsign and groaned. His anger and disbelief was apparent on his face. He clenched his teeth and thought to himself.

Damnit! This one rose fast enough to stop a slug. This is horrible. By the time I finish this step I would have died and been reborn again. Hayashi kicked the wall. His foot jammed into it and it didn't budge. He sighed and bowed his head. At least it is stiff. That much I am greatful for. Hayashi smiled and prepared to get to his handsigns.

Hayashi started to relax. He felt like taking a dip in the lake or sleeping underground. He put on a straight face and started the string of handsigns. Rat, ox, snake, horse, monkey, rat, dog, ox. He pushed his chakra into his handsigns. As usual, the ground in front of him started to move. As it did, a 48 peice of 1 inch 1 wide bamboo start to jut out of the earth. Hayashi then pushed chakra into the top of the bamboo instead of the bottom.

This started to pull the bamboo swiftly upwards until it reached 6 and a half feet in height. He let go of the handsign and smirked. He bounced back and took out 2 shuriken and a kunai. He swung his arm around and threw them at it. They stuck solidly. Hayashi smiled and took the weaponry out of the bamboo. Jutsu accomplished. How about we head into town. Hayashi sinks into the ground and begins to move rapidly underground towards Kusa, the Village Hidden in the Grass.
