Long grass... Long journey... (open thread.)

[blackwinds]

Kaze came to rest upon an outcrop of rocks just jutting out over a waterfall, he sat their contently looking at the torrent of water hit the plungepool. The area was sheltered by long grass and trees so strongwinds wouldnt buffet him. He began to drink from his water bottle and eat his packed lunch. He looked about and stuffed what was left of a sushi roll into his mouth...

"Right! here we go..."
He picked up an envelope from inside his pack and he scanned down a list of jutsus which his previous master had neglected to train him. He saw one which he knew he could master easily and began to focus...

Blades of Grass
Rank: "D"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Blades of grass cut opponent for mild damage
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Can only be used when grass is present.
Description: User summons up the grass with his/her chakra, using the chakra to straighten and sharpen the grass. Then, the grass is launched at an opponent at about the same speed as a bullet. The grass can stab into or cut the flesh of an oppenent just like a needle. (Ten grass needles)
Limit: only ninjas of grass can learn

He had previously been studying Yuusuke and many of the other Ninja in the bamboo forest so he already seen what this Jutsu could do! Kaze was a quick learner and he knew his capabilities... So thats why he started with a D rank technique imediatly after a meal.

He rapidly did the handseals (clumsilly) and imagined sharpening his mind he opened his eyes briefly and he saw a few long blades of grass float motionless in the air they were all fairly limp and were not rigid enough to pierce any target, so Kaze released the handseal and th grass dissipated and fell to the floor.
"Again!" he briefly studied the handseals required and did them in short sequence, he then focused his mind and he fealt the vien on his fore-head bulge... He farted and lost concentration... He re-doubled his efforts and channeled the chakra successfully. Just this time he released the grass darts which shot out in random directions, only 2 reached the intended target and only 1 broke the bark of the tree.

He ran over to see how much damage he had caused, but became disappointed with the depth which the blades of grass had pierced. He wanted to try one more time. He returned to his initial position standing on the boulder and then focused his chakra one final time, this time he speant some time to think and listening to the atmosphere around him he rapidly did the handseals, (all of which were immaculatly immitated) He opened his eyes and raised his left hand five blades of grass shot upwards and glided effortlessly through the air hitting the tree, making a perfect straight line, unluckily Kaze's excitemen got the better of him and he lost control of the other blades as they shot off in random directions.

But still, he thought he was good enough to move onto a moving target with this jutsu, he took a small break and started throwing dirt clods into the plungepool. What would be a suitible moving target... he grinned and jumped to his feet, he then heaved a large dirt clod (size of a typical soccer ball) and threw it high into the air over the river. This gave him time to prepare before it fell into the water at the bottom of the cliff. He did the handseals and focused and his eye-sight did not dwindle from his target. He released all 10 blades which shot through the air like deadly senbon each striking the target. He was not sure whether or not each had done much damage to the surface, but he was glad he had been able to channel the blades all accurately at his target!

He stopped his Ninjutsu studies and decided to go down to the river bank to look for some herbs. He wanted to make some toxins he was empty and hewanted to collect some samples for his studies.

Almost there!

[blackwinds]

Climbing down towards the river bed towards the waterfall, Kaze gazed about looking for some herbs, there was a light bed of grass near the edge of the water, amongst this there was a plant which Kaze had been searching for, the belladona plant, his master had taught him how to make a basic poison, it was very volatile and he knew NOT to have it come in contact with his skin because it caused him large amounts of irritation last time. He had intended to use the poison to attack some poor un-suspecting ninja who he'd blackmail to give him money but the leaves needed preparation so he had to return to Kusa no Kuni ASAP!

First off, Kaze thrashed at the grass around the plant with his kasurai-gama to remove the grass for further use... Also so he could get closer to the Beladonna plant to examine it for disease and perhaps take a few leaves for his own use. On closer examination, it seemed that the leaves at the bottom were yellow and shrivelled making them completely useless. Kaze didnt think it was suitible to take all the leaves, the plant would die and he didnt want that. So he took a few leaves from the top which were fairly small and these were enough for adequate use... (enough to create 2 doses).

he put them in his lunchbox which he had (which he would need to clean later.) and he went to wash his hands in case he had come into contact with the leaves. He looked up and gazed into the water. It had been about 15 minutes since he used his Jutsu so he pondered and smiled. He saw some fish dart about in the water, "Of course!" he thought to himself. He knew the speed of the Jutsu so he may be able to try it out on these fish and maybe eat them... he knew the danger of eating them after playing with the beladona, but he didnt want to waste good fish! and anyway, whoever said he didnt have to eat them now? He repeated his actions as he did before, up on the cliff, he channeled the chakra down to the ground and into the reaped blades of grass around him whilst co-ordinating his handseals well. He focused and released the volley of blades upon his prey each shooting into the water with deadly precision. Did they hit!?

The silt on the floor of the river close to the river bank (where it was shallow.) had been unsettled by his attempt to hit the fish, so he unleashed 2 more volleys of blades he waited for another 10 seconds and emerging from the silt were two fish which had been shreded by the onslaught of blades. Kaze felt a little sad as the really stood no chance of escaping. But he was becoming frustrated with the Jutsu for its innacuracies. after fishing out the carp, he tried again with the accuracy of this Jutsu which he was struggling with "This should be a C rank skill!" he lied to himself. He knew he could do this, he just was over-confident therefore he wasn't focusing intently. He then tried a couple more times to co-ordinate the attack of his, This time to sepcifically etch patterns into trees with the blades.

He started unsuccesfully, each striking the tree in a random pattern, he repeated and he made a line but it wasnt entirely clear... After multiple attempts he had drained a minor bit of chakra and he was able to create a a smiling face etched into the surface of the dark on the tree. He was confident with his abilities and he truly believed he had mastered the jutsu! Then, somthing in the bush rustled behind him, without hesitation he fired a volley of blades at the bush... A rabbit laid trembling in pain having a few blades pierce it's leg. Kaze thought that it couldnt be wasted, so he drowned it in the silted water... He didnt like the image of the rabbit so he thought it was the most humane way to deap with the creature... He wasnt a big fan of rabbit, so he thought "That is my bait." he chuckled as he carried the rabbit and he leaped back upto the rock a 10 feet above him.

[elmoninja123]

(It was open... So i thought I might join.)
Having been wandering through the wilds for some time now, Tenchi decided to take a break, he held his sensory pole in one hand and held it out in front of him moving across the grass. He could hear the sound of running water fairly nearby. His listening zoned in on a sound which he was coming from the water source from what he believed to be 20 feet away from him. He heard a boy lauging and imeadiately thought of potential company (or perhaps even a body guard.) He threw a sound ball a few meters in front of him so his peripheral awareness was increased. He sat down on the rock and waited for the ninja below to scramble up the rock face. Tenchi had nothing to hide, but still he had doubts of whether or not this ninja was a kind, evil or considerate person. So he changed his mind and ran behind a low hanging tree and sat amongst the long grases hopefully staying out of view. He kept his head down and his ears perked, he redied a Kunai and gulped.

You can only learn one technique at a time. If you gain TP for a new one, the last one you were learning will be erased and you'll start at 0 again. I suggest you save this last post on Word and edit it with a new one to finish the training, and then post the new jutsu training after.

[blackwinds]

Kaze climbed up the cliff and he realised that soon it will be dark, he had found a small cut on his hand, he hadn't realised it down by the river side and his pain threshold was quite high so a small nick like that was unlikely to attract his attention. He was slightly worried for a second that his wound could cause infection or worse, been exposed to the natural venom of the Beladonna. He grimaced and climbed up the cliff, maybe his waterbottle had some clean water left. He ran over to the rock where he had laid down his stuff, he glanced at the grass and he had seen it had recently been disturbed. His eyes darted from left to right, where could this stalker be? Then a few meters in front of him he saw a small ball... he had no idea what it was so paid sever caution to it...

"Probably a smoke bomb..." Kaze thought to himslef but as he approached it, he sensed chakra flowing inside it. "this must be a trap." Kaze hated situations like this, being watched and he felt exposed in the clearing. But he thought to himself... "Where would i be if I was stalking a target?" He braced himself and knew very well what he needed to do.

"Any grass ninja out here please show yourself... I do not wish to harm you and I mean no threat... In fact I was hoping to find sombody from Kusa out here... please show yourself..." There was a silence that Kaze didn't like and the ball he had spotted wasn't a very conforting sight either he bit his lip and Body Flickered to a location he thought suitable for hiding. The hollow of the tree. He could hear breathing and it wasn't his own...

[elmoninja123]

He had never heard anything like it! One moment the ninja was in front of him, the next he was 5 feet above him standing in the tree. Tenchi bit his lip and stood up and turned to where he knew the ninja was standing. He said, in a stammering voice "I-I'm here..."

Tenchi could feel the gaze of the ninja focus upon his face as if trying to stare into his eyes. He braced his kunai and prepared for an attack. Then he heard the Ninja jump down before him and study him quickly. Tenchi had no idea what territory he was in, he just knew his master had asked him to collect some herbs from this region and that was Tenchi's goal.

"I-I'm a healer a-are you hurt?" He bit into his lip and fear welled up inside his chest. He had heard of the brutal Ninja and their stories, he tasted the blood as it dripped down his chin and he felt weak...

[blackwinds]

Kaze saw the whelp before him, he looked slightly afraid, he remebered the gash on his arm which he somhow got from his training... He held out his arm and he replied to the ninja. Kaze's wirey and tall structure dwarfed the medic. "I cut myself, what are you some travelling medic? Do you go around helping out us grass nin?"
Kaze was un-aware of his intentions or purpose but he suddenly thought, maybe this medic could enhance his training. "Hey, ya mind sticking around? I'd really like some help with training and stuff!" Kaze smiled behind his mask, His eyes seemed happy, but he realised the med nin couldnt see him. He grabbed the med ninjas hand and held it to his face.

"This is what I look like..." He was very forward, and Kaze was a little naive so didnt really know how to confront a blind person, he recoiled slightly feeling to bold. "So what do you say? Oh.. and my name is Kaze-Kain Sanada... But you can calll me Blackwinds" Kaze, then moved his hands over to where he had cut himself. "Here is my wound... Easy to heal?"

[elmoninja123]

"Sure.. Mr Blackwinds..." He knelt on the floor and channeled his Chakra, he transmuted a bandage out of the blades of grass that surrounded him. He held that in one hand and channeled his chakra into his hands, as he moved his hands over the effected area, the blood began to clot and then he wrapped the gash in the bandage he had made.

He then got up, "Hey, so... could I hang around with you then?" He was still unsure of what the ninja had initially meant. Also he was shy and wasn't sure whther 'Blackwinds' said it to be kind or whether he said it truthfully.

"I need to practice and enhance my med Jutsus... Mind if I practice them on you?" In all honesty, Tenchi was too afraid to keep searching for a partner, and this ninja seemed friendly enough.

[enigma]

While walk trough the forest of the grass counrty Landerax began to hear voices. He uses

Kouba Heigou (Plant Merge)
Rank: Unknown
Skill: Passive
Effect: The ability to merge with trees, the ground(earth), and other plants is a passive skill for the Kouba clan; their bodies are closed into the Venus-flytrap around them, clothes meld into it and then they merge into the desired thing. (Ei. Tree, ground, plants) They emerge the same way.
Special: N/a
Drawback: Sometimes takes a bit long to merge, depending on the item they wish to merge with.
Description: The Kouba’s body is closed into the flytrap and then it’ll slowly sink into the ground, or merge into a tree or something.
Limit: Kouba only

to become part of the ground he moves closer sound reduced as landerax doesn't need to take steps the merges with a tree where he can hear other talking on the other side. His he soon rises out of a branch hidden in the depth of the tree able see but not easy to see, he looks down to see two males one preforming a healing jutsu and the other wearing an ANBU mask. "leaf ninja one being an ANBU I should keep my distance" he thought to himself "I guess i will have to watch for now"

[blackwinds]

A short burst of laughter errupted from Kaze's mouth, "No 'Mister' crap... just call me Blackwinds." He patted the med ninja on the head and then suggested that they should return to their training.

Kaze speant a good couple of minutes going back over the Jutsu he was learning. He demonstrated it to the med ninja... "Hey kid, whats your name? If we're gonna be in the same squad, I gotta know your name." he responded "Tenchi" in a humble tone... Kaze smiled and was also amazed that this ninja didnt think he was such a wierdo... Maybe it was the fact he was unable to see him. Kaze then headed over to his belongings and started errecting a tent. He realised that he had no tent... Maybe there was a jutsu that could help them make a shelter? It was getting dark so he returned to learning his jutsu which now he was convinced he had mastered.

He picked up his training manual and began to refer to it and hopefully oncovering some sort of Jutsu which he could use to make shelter for the night. He removed his forehead protector and his ANbu mask and lead in the grass. He occasionally sat up to shoot blades of grass at a random target in sight.

"Where are you from? And why a Med nin?" There was an awkward silnce between the two but Tenchi broke it... Kaze felt a chilling feeling run dwon their spine... they were being watched.

[enigma]

Landerax look farly confuse with the situation infront of far below him on the ground there is a ninja with an ANBU mask but is practicing a jutsu that looks one of a very low level "can he really be an ANBU" Landerax thinks to himself. Landerax know focuses his attention on the medic he looks down an see's the medics blindfolded. "A medic without a headband that would seem to be blind, there has to be more to him that that." Landerax contiues to think. Since Landerax is at the top end of the tree he is unable to hear what the two are saying.

[elmoninja123]

Tenchi's ears twitched, he tried to hone in on what he had just heard... He looked at Kaze who was hadn't moved, he then sat down... He thought to himself that he might aswell practice some jutsus.

He looked at his training manual and began to cypher through the basic techniques he knew he had to master. He found one, it seemed simple enough and had no volatile drawbacks. He closed his brail manual and began to channel chakra into his hands.

Kanetsu no Gyou (Heat seeker)
Rank D
Type: NinJutsu
Description: A simple Jutsu in which the Medical Ninja focuses the chakra in his body by placing it along the persons chest creating heat within them. This is so then the person would not be in danger of Hypothermia, a condition in which the body starts dropping its temperature at a quick pace, and if goes untreated it might cause paralysis and even death. One must be careful for if used to long then it may warm up a part of the body which may cause fever.

He breathed deeply pushing the inner energies to the edge of his finger tips. He sat down on the floor and he began to meditate. He imagined radiating great warmth around his body he felt his arm twinge as the energy flowed through his veins, he felt Kaze's eyes rest upon him but he shrugged it off.

He stood up and the wind around him was picking up, and now he was becoming a little cold, "How does my hand feel?" he asked Kaze, he pressed the hand against his head. It iradiated little warmth and was nothing that spectacular. He recoiled his hand and he felt the warmth in his hand drain away.

He returned to the shelter under the tree and began to meditate again, He looked up and Kaze had gone, he didnt care, in fact he prefered having some peace to train himself with. He re-doubled his efforts. His eyes began to pulse as he channeled the chakra throughout his body, his eyes would pulse like this Being a Shitakuma, and he like the feeling. As blood would pump to the eyes, but no chakra. He tensed his mind and focused his thoughts. His ears started wringing!! Tenchi opened his eyes and stopped his meditating.

Tenchi had pushed too hard and the chakra flow around his body was a little messed up. He just got too excited, He calmed himself down and rested for about 5mins. He began to think back to his first lessons in med jutsus. He and his dad were looking at them and he studdied the basic bandage skill.

*10 years ago*

"Tenchi get up you lazy bum!" This is what you'd expect a father to say to his teenage son... well this wasn't the case. Tenchi was infact waking his father using the same words. Tenchi Snr. rose from bed dreary eyed. Tenchi Junior was pointing at a passage "Look! Could you help me and Ai study this?" He handed his father a scroll which was taken from the Shitakuma library... "Bandage skill... why do you want to learn that?" Tenchi Jnr was shy and there was a long silence... "Alrite then.." Tenchi senior sighed and they headed outside.

After 1 hour of tralleing they came to the Rice fields, Ai was with them and they began to practice the Jutsu. "Is this right Mr Shitakuma?" Ai said in an audible tone. They had come quite a long way after an hour or so of practice. *Ai transmutes a bandage made from the soil, but as soon as she picks it up to apply it to the skin it desintergrates.* "Look dad i did it!!" Holding the bandage wrapped around his wrist in the air he showed it to his father. He gently patted Tenchi on the head and the illusion of the bandage was ruined... The mud was caked to his wrist, then it fell off in clumps... Both Ai and Tenchi Snr. laughed. Tenchi junior on the other hand didnt find it funny at all. He ran off crying and hid in the grasses.

Tenchi was later found and was suffering from a cold, he was sneasing badly and it could have developed into somthing more deadly. "Tenchi where were you!?" Tenchi Jnr. began to cry and his father started focussing the chakra in his hand. He pulled a handkerchief from his hand then helped Tenchi blow his nose. Tenchi became imeaditatly warmer from head to toe... "Thank you Tenchi for showing me this book, its very interesting I might study it myself." Tenchi Snr. picked him up started to carry him back towards the Shitakuma carravan. Tenchi Jnr. struggled, and eventually was let down to the floor where he walked with his dad.

*back to present day*
Tenchi realised that his dad had used it on him all those years ago and he hadn't even realised. He then tried to focus his chakra on a seperate part of his hand. He pushed it to the centre, the palm of his hand and float like an orb on the surface of his palm. He then tried to warm Kaze's waterbottle which he had left behind with his belongings.

He held it firmly in his hand and focused, channelling the chakra to his palm. The water bottle became increasingly hot and Tenchi had to drop it as it was beggining to burn himself. It seemed, the palm was too large and clumsy to effectively work the jutsu. After picking up the water bottle. Tenchi tried again with the jutsu focusing all over his hand. But this time it seemed too weak and he could hardly feel the warmth he generated.

After another 5min. break He then began to channel the chakra through his finger tips. This was a failure too... maybe Tenchi hadn't quite understood the nature and way of channeling the jutsu. He re-read th script and realised. It was thje friction of 2 chakra energies that generated the warmth ideally for the jutsu!

He stood up and began to channel the chakra slowly along his right hand. He held it over his left hand and he felt the chakra break and ebb. This created a glowing and relaxing warmth in his hands. Tenchi was convinced He had studied it effectively.!

Landerax watches the medic deep in meditation. "He is probable concentration a lot this is my best chance" Landerax think his venus fly-trap sinks into the tree

Shikou Shikakejirai (Waiting Trap)
Rank: C-rank – B-rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user makes the one handseal and then the flytrap sinks into the ground around them, exposing their body for a time; the user has one leg connected to the ground. The user then controls where the fly trap goes, normally laying horizontally in wait as the victim is unaware where it may be hiding; then when the victim comes close the trap springs and snaps. The effect is capturing the victim, or killing it from the effect, a weaker Kouba can only trap and maybe break a bone or two, a stronger Kouba can crush an opponent. The technique can be tweaked so the inside of the trap becomes spiky and gives an iron maiden effect.
Special: Handseal : Tiger
Drawback: If fighting against a fast opponent, or not catching them by surprise, the Kouba member is easily open to attacks on their weak body. If the victim doesn’t step on the flytrap, then the jutsu is basically useless.
Description: The flytrap sinks into the ground, the user is rooted by one leg to the ground; the fly trap lays hidden in the earth, or lays on the ground. When a victim steps on the hidden trap, it closes on it like a bear trap; sometimes can be tweaked so the inside of the flytrap is spiked, an iron maiden effect.
Limit: Kouba jutsu

"I can't take any chances with ninja i have never met and there from a different country" landerax glares appon them "I will have to make contact soon I will give them a distraction." a smile like across his face. His body also merge fully with the tree and travels throught the earth a a bush near the water. So that he can hear them.
(The venus fly-trap hids under Tenchi)

[blackwinds]

Kaze had never learnt any defensive jutsus in the academy. So he thought it was best to do this now. He thought it would be important to protect a med nin if he was part of his group...
He wanted to master wood release and wind release, Fire release was expendable to him, he thought.

Well he looked at his training manual in referance and found a move, It was a step up from his previous Jutsu and was farly good to use in his traing as perhaps a target for other jutsu. It said this technique could take some beating and had 2 quick handseals which meant it could be used at great speed.

Mokuton: Tate no Mokuzai no Jutsu(Shield of Wood)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a small wooden shield in front of the user.
Special: Horse, Rabbit.
Drawback: Can only sustain five D rank attacks OR 3 C rank attacks
Description: The user performs the seals listed and a small wooden shield appears in front of the user. The shield can block kunai and other weapons, or can block low-ranked jutsu (C and D. It’s not very strong, and a few well placed hits will break it easily.
Limit: Must have Mokuton no Jutsu

Kaze had left Tenchi to his own devices and maybe he'd be training himself. Kaze found himself in a small bit of foliage where he'd no-longer be seen and also was surrounded by woodland shrubbery to enchance the effect of the Jutsu. Kaze thought to himself how he would use this jutsu... But there was only one way to find out how it worked... and that was by trying it out. So he tried channeling the chankra into his feet and he did the handseals effortlessly (Handseals was Kazes specialty, his nimble hands and his Co-ordination skills what made him and excelent Taijutsu specialist and it also assisted with Handseals. He stamped his foot feeling the vegetation yield to his command.

"Not bad" he thought to himself, he looked down on his small creastion which stood to about knee height. Of course this wouldnt protect him from an attack, Kaze just wanted to study the structure and perhaps learn about it before investing alot more chakra into a jutsu which he had little knowledge of! But somthing was wrong with it... On closer inspection, the areas of proetection were patchy, meaning it was an inconsistant defense. an attack could exploit these areas of the shield meaning it would break easily. Kaze crushed it under foot, now feeling slightly embarassed with the small creation he had previously been proud of.

He repeated his efforts making the barrier slightly larger! This time the vegetation didnt bend to his will, there was a large misformation on the top which evidently wasn't meant to be there, but Kaze shrugged it off and still continued to study what good had come of his progress. He studied its structure and he could see that the Xylem and the Phloem of the wood flow from the ground and rise up into a small crest. It was as if a tree had bee carved into a shield, It was rigid an he was pleased with it because of that aspect.

Next he began to test its hardness, first approaching it cautiously touching its smooth and knotted surface. He ran his fingers over it and he could feel his chakra flowing through the roots he held his head against the tree and began tapping it searhcing for hollows, he wasn't convinced. To test his theory of his weak shield, He pulled out his favourite weapon, and hurled the Kama on the chain, it flew through the air with amazing speed and punctured the shell He flicked his wrist of his offhand and the kama returned to his main hand. "Either im strong or that this shield is weak." He knew it was the latter and tried some jutsus on it.

He leaped backwards and performed the handseal and spat a steam of blades of grass at the shield. Some blades punctured the surface but was only superficial damage. He tried again except with a seperate Jutsu. Hey used the Tiny wind drill, but the smal spiral of air merely glanced off the side of the shield. It had shown its resilience in the field of ninjutsu elemental techniques but had failed in brittleness on taijutsu. So he lamped the shield with a fist and his hand went straight through the dense foliage ontop. He kicked the bottom of the structure and it collapsed.

He repeated the jutsu again wacthing the shield materialise before his eyes he forced his hands upwwards holding the second handseal. The wood began to bend and warp into a concave wall of wood that sat before him. The knotted roots at his feet twisted and thrashed and the shield began to develop and it began to augment. He had at last created a descent shape which was a concievable shield able to protect him and maybe one other. Now he had to practice physical attack on ita again to make sure it was suitible. First off ll he tried a Taijutsu Technique, he used viper bite and channeld his chakra to the tip of the blade as it pieced the shell but it was deep and he could not retrieve his Kama effectively. He spent a good five minutes wrenching it from the surface of the wood. He was pleased!

Then trying his Ninjutsu he tried exceptionally hard, he unleashed 2 volleys of blades of grass followed by a tiny wind drill. After all of these Kaze fealt very weary and considered resting fo the rest of the day as he had expelled a large amount of chakra on the testing of the shield and the development of the shield. He then pulled out a few missile weapons, and then he realised. The ultimate test! He slapped an explossive tag on the shield and ran *Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!* Kaze saw the blast wave approach him. he turned and produced the horse then rabbit and slammed his fist into the ground bringing up his wood defence. He was left unscathed and he peered over the top of his shield... and it seemed that his other shield had fared pretty well too!!!

On that note, Kaze thought that was enough training for one day... So he sped of to return to their base camp by the waterfall.

[elmoninja123]

Tenchi never really realised how great his chakra control was! He then thought it was an ideal time to study the theory behind a jutsu rather than physically work on it. He read the last few pages of the basic medical handbook which he had got from his father, there was one jutsu which he didnt really know how to do it.

Sansokyoukyuu (Oxygen supply)
Rank D
Type: NinJutsu
Description: An easy justu for the Medical Ninja. A ninja uses chakra upon the chest area focusing it to help the body in some ways. It helps the lungs expand easier making the chest and neck muscles become more officient which allows the airways to expand and pulmonary blood vessels so then the cells of the body may breathe easier.

The basic concept matched the "Heat seeker" Skill, that he would pass chakra to his hand and open the broncholes in the lungs and maximising air flow. Tenchi put his hand on his chest and began to breathe in and out slowly. He tried to imagine the particles of air flow in and out of his body,he channeled a low grade ammount of chakra through his hand to his chest. He felt mildly warmer but this had little effect on the real purpose of the jutsu. He thought maybe the way this jutsu worked was by channelling blood in the body to this point in the body increasing the rate at which the blood came in contact with the blood. He altered the energies in his hands so the chakra spiralled to the palm of his hand almost absorbing the chakra on the intended area. This in turn would pull blood to the intended area and enable greater breathing... This was only theory but this had proven effective with the last jutsu which Tenchi had studied to he tried again. The chakra swirled in his chest and his lungs were able to almost taste the air... But Tenchi could tell somthing was wrong with the way he was doing the jutsu. Mybe Kaze could help him. So he set his book down an- *Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom*

Tenchi's ears Jolted upwards. The large explosion send soundwaves directly into his ears. The shockwave created by the air particles allowed Tenchi to see clearer in th slowing wind. He got up and began to approach the area where the explosion started. He started to hear running of footsteps and pulled a Kunai... He ducked behind the rock near the waterfall, he was seemingly out of sight. Any movement Tenchi could sense... and he didnt like what he heard.

Landerax has seen all he needed. The decided he may as well make contact. Landerax's body began to sink back into the soft earth of the grass country, he recalls his venu-fly trap. Landerax raises out of the ground infront of the medic.
"greatings, I am Landerax of the Kouba clan, I mean no harm but I and new to this country and need direction as well as a small amount of information." landerax speaks in a calm tone that is very friendly. The wind buffets Landerax's body as he stands in front of the medic.

[elmoninja123]

Tenchi's guard dropped, he gazed at the Kouba warrior... He could sense the towering mantid plant on his shoulders... Tenchi was stunned partially in fear of the plant, and secondly by the strange look of the warrior himself. "Sorry, I am not sure that I could assist you. I-I'm lost myself, I'm Tenchi!" He held out is hand. "I am of the Shitakuma clan. But my friend is returning in a while." Tenchi stepped back a sec from the ninja, very un-nerved. Maybe this Kouba chap had already attacked Kaze and was now attacking him... Tenchi felt beads of sweat run down his brow. "What information do you need? heh heh.."
