The Stance
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: Stance is a crucial part of using any weapon. This is the basic stance technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Begin with the feet in a 90° comfortably separated at about half a shoulder's width apart. Center the weight on the rear leg. When throwing the user shifts their weight to the front. This causes the hips and shoulders to twist into the throw forcing the body's power into the throwing arm. After the throw is complete recover by returning to the original stance to ready the next throw.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist.

    Yukari let himself take in the dim glowing of the cavern very little light slipped in from the small gaps in the rock above, but the florescent colors of the bioluminescent algae and fungus that grew on the wall provided enough light to see by. Yukari carefully navigated the ledges and slick slopes while listening to his mothers voice in his head giving instructions on how to properly stand so that he can always respond to a threat. 

    Yukari focused on his feet, and he practiced stepping forward keeping his weight over his back leg and keeping his toes at a 90° angle to each other at all times. Yukari held his balance and kept moving about the carven like this for several minutes allowing it to become easier and easier. 

    Feeling foolish Yukari looked over at Kyn who was preening on a nearby rock. Reaching into a pouch on his side, Yukari pulls out some dried berries. Taking one into his right hand, setting his feet about half a shoulders length apart and his toes pointed 90° apart, leaning on his back leg then with a roll of his hips and a twist of his shoulders Yukari throws the berry at Kyn, "Catch Kyn!"

    "Kaah," Kyn cackled and snapped the berry out of the air, munching on it and watching Yukari. Hopping about, Kyn danced back and forth while whistling. Kyn loves her berries, and tries to thank Yukari with her birdsong. As Kyn, was hopping around and trilling and whistling Yukari realizes that she is trying to thank him. It has happened before but he never really noticed that she was trying to sing. It was bad, but that gave Yukari an idea.

    Unplugging his headphones, Yukari plays some reed music through the speakers. "Come on Kyn, try to copy this." Yukari encourages Kyn to try to whistle along with the the music. Any time Kyn would stop whistling and become distracted Yukari would give her another treat to stay focused. Yukari tried several different types of instruments to see what kind of sound Kyn reacted to best only to find that recordings of pipa strumming attracted Kyn the most.

    After almost an entire bag of berries Kyn finally picked up on what Yukari wanted. She started to change pitch and follow along with the rhythm the the songs playing from his PDA. Kyn flew around in circles trilling and warbling out birdsong in staccato rhythm, and then would land on Yukari's shoulder and Kaah while bowing and dipping her head, as if finishing a grand performance.

The Grips
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: The user learns how to grip their weapons through two types of Grips, the Handle Grip, and the Blade Grip.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Handle Grip: While throwing a weapon from the handle keep it centered if center of balance is possible. If not then hold it at the end of the handle. Balance is key. The thumb should be resting against the inside of the handle while the remaining fingers curl around it. When you throw the item travels vertically leading to the best speed and hitting power for long distances. When throwing by the blade, grip the item at the end of the blade with the thumb parallel with the blade. The rest of the fingers curl against the opposite side.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist.

"Hahaha," Yukari laughed at Kyn's antics. "Okay, breaktime is over. Its time for the next step." Yukari plugged his headphones back in and closed his eyes, listening to the next step in the voice of his father.

"Okay Son, so you have mastered how you should stand. Now you need to learn how to hold your weapon. We will start with the most basic tool of the Shinobi. The kunai, now your going to want to grip you kunai knife from the balance point. Hold up your kunai and find where it balances. Now this is where your thumb should press with the rest of your fingers curling around the handle comfortably.

Yukari reached into his pouch and pulled out a Kunai. Balancing it across his forefinger Yukari checks the balance point of the kunai, finding it and gripping at that point he holds the blade just like his father said. Curling his fingers around the handle in a firm but not rigid grip. Yukari waved his hand around getting a feel for where his hand sat on the kunai. Then he spun the kunai in his palm and then gripped the knife by the tip of the blade with his thumb resting parallel to the blade and his fingers curled carefully around the other side.

Kyn watched as Yukari played with his knife. Growing disinterested she decided to start singing, she really liked all of the new sounds she was learning. Kyn jumped off the rock ledge and flapped a few times so that she could land on Yukari's shoulder tapping on his headphones Kyn began to "sing". It was bad. No scale or any semblances of a song, but it was close enough that Yukari got the hint.

Grinning Yukari unplugged his headphones again and started to play music for Kyn again. This time he played some of his favorite songs, Kyn tried to keep up but her vocal range wasn't as large as the song but the more she tried the closer she got. She began to attempt to mimic the sounds of the song.

Kyn sang her awful mixture of birdsong and instrument imitations, by the end of the third song Kyn was picking up on the rhythm of the songs and was kaawing, chirping. and trilling merrily while only barely staying in a delayed rhythm. Yukari laughed and gave Kyn a treat after the third song, determined to get back to training.

User creates a huge rock to hammer the opponent. User creates a huge rock the size of 2 meters in diameter and launches it at an opponent. This technique deals 7 Armour Points of Bludgeoning Damage per Class Level.
Limit: Must know Earth Release.

NAGA

    Naga and Aori walk through the cavernous area and hear familiar voices. Well a voice and a squawking sound. They looked to be training pretty hard and were quite focused. "Heya, Yukari!", Aori shouted. Naga grabbed Aori by the collar and pulled him along, "Don't bother him. He knows we're here and he'll come say hi when we all have time. We have training to do ourselves too ya know." Naga pulls out two small books one labeled 'Earth Release Simple Index' and the other reads, 'Water Ninjutsu Style'. "Which one do you want?", Naga asks his brother. Aori points at the latter and Naga tosses it to him silently glad as he wants to master the Earth Style as quickly as possible.

    After a few moments of reading the introduction to the book and thumbing back and forth from the list of jutsus and their respective pages, Naga finally decides on one. "Rock Hammer, huh? Sounds good, also has some pretty interesting chained jutsus." Excitedly Naga reads over the passage for the jutsu and practices the corresponding handseals. Slowly at first, but the seals are so ingrained in his muscle memory as it is with all ninja, that it takes no time at all for him to get them into a nice rhythm. Once the seals are memorized he flows through them once again pushing his chakra into the movements and begins to form a rock from the surrounding earth of the cave. The rock formed up to be just shy of a meter in diameter. Naga knew that a fully formed rock was closer to two meters, but none the less, the technique didn't take long to grasp due to knowing how to manipulate earth from other jutsus already. Looking around for a place to launch his small boulder, Naga realized that the cave probably was not a very safe place to hurl heavy rocks so he released control of it and watched as it dropped to the floor of the cave. It cracked in half pretty easily he noticed disappointingly. "Thought they would be stronger. Maybe I just didn't condense it enough."


    Naga stepped closer to one exit of the cave and surveyed the area for anyone or anything that may be hurt, but he could find nothing so he gathered his chakra once again and created another small boulder. This time he put a lot of focus on condensing the rock. After a quick sweep of the area again, he attempted to launch the rock. The rock flew a few meters and quickly grounded itself. Not as far as Naga had hopped, but not bad. He anticipated the rock would be more difficult to throw than the mud from a similar jutsu he knows, but he was just gauging how much and he was surprised that it wasn't has intensive as he thought. He gathered his chakra once more and made as big of a stone as he could and flung it out of the opening of the cave. Gauging how to throw it came quite easily as well. Naga's confidence bolstered at the thought of how quickly he was catching on.


    It wasn't enough for Naga to just make stones and through them though. He needed control and a semblance of mastery over his skill before he thought about moving on. He decided to go back to the area where he left his brother and to start making stones. One after another Naga formed stone after stone. He started with dropping them after they were made, but now tried focusing on control. The ground already littered with stones of varying size and hardness (making a softer "dirt" ball may come in handy, Naga thought) he now tried to place the stones in specific places. Stone next to stone quickly became stone on stone and Naga was building with them. About an hour passed and Naga quickly became tired and decided to call it for the time being after one of his creations came tumbling down.

Bubble Replication
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates a clone of bubbles to control.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is personal. Duration of this technique is 5 rounds per Class Level. This technique requires a small source of water nearby. Using this technique, the user is able to create a replica of themselves with water. This version looks and carries equipment similar to the user except it being made of water. The user may create 2 clones +1 per Class Level. While the replications are not capable of sentient thought, they share a bond of sort that allows the user to communicate orders to their clones; the bond is only one way, though, and the clones cannot send orders, thoughts or images to the user. As such, the clones follow the user's instructions to the letter. A Bubble Replication is its own person and if caught in a GenJutsu, only the replica will be affected, and not the user and/or the whole group of clone. The clones have 1 Armour Point per Class Level of the user, saves equal to that of the user -4. It may not have more than 2 movements per round. It does not benefit from any Temporary bonuses the user may currently have. A Bubble Replication has a Bludgeoning Resistance 5 and takes 1/2 more fire damage. A Bubble Replication may not stray further than 1 mile from the user, although it if is not within 30 meters of the source it was created from, it suffers a -10 penalty skill checks. It cannot use any techniques at all, and carries the very same equipment as the user except chakra-dependent items such as exploding tags. Poison and mastercraft bonuses are not carried over to the clone's equipment. Lastly, it cannot normally perform any activities requiring particular attention, such as sensing chakra, setting off an exploding tag or carrying a serious conversation. Once the clone reaches 0 Armour Points, strays too far from another clone or the user or the duration expires, it pops like a bubble. While the user can freely replace any clones lost by using this technique more than once, the user cannot control a number greater of clone than the specified maximum. The user can also choose to dissipate a single clone (or more) of their choice rather than the whole group. The user also cannot control any other sort of clone while using this technique.
Limit: Must know Water Release.

AORI


    After taking the book from his brother, Aori walks to a calm pool of water inside the dimly glowing cave. The cold isn't quite enough to freeze the entirety of the water, but it's too cold for a swim which is what Aori really wants to do right now. 'Maybe I'll stop at the bath house on the way home.', he thinks as sits and opens the book. The young boy almost immediately spots an interesting technique. "Clones?", he says aloud to himself, "Now that could be really useful. And they listen to commands?" Aori loses himself in a thought of not doing chores for a moment, but snaps back to himself. His mind now set on learning his new skill, he scans over the pages for the technique.

    First he practices his chakra control and feeds it into the water in front of him as he weaves the hand seals. Water starts to build and Aori begins to shape the clone in his mind. He finds himself fighting with his chakra to make it move how he wants it to. The end result being a deformed clone staring blankly through Aori. He thought he saw an expression of disappointment, but then thought that it was probably just his reflection or his brother's. The young boy stood up and weaved the signs again and let the chakra build freely. The clone formed well, but something was still off. There was another Aori standing across from Aori, but there was nothing "Aori" about it. He quickly went back to the book and realized his dreams were dashed at passing this thing off as him as he re-read that the clone was only physical copy of the user and inherits nothing else. His disappointment was short lived and he quickly realized that the clones would still be a great training tool as well as useful in other ways.


    "Spin." Aori said to the clone and sure enough the clone spun once. "Carry this stone over there.", Aory commanded while handing the clone a stone and pointing over towards the edge of the water. As the clone went to pick up the stone Aori shifted it making the clone miss. The cone didn't look annoyed, but it did start to move faster as the task became more difficult. Aori dodged the clone's attempts at the rock and began to run away. The clone started after him, eyes fixed on his target. "Stop!" Aori demanded. The clone stopped in his tracks and looked at his maker almost perplexed. "Take the stone from me.", Aori said, wanting to see if the clone would use force. The answer came in the form of a shoulder check in the gut. It was surprising, but it didn't hurt a lot. In a flash though, the stone was gone from Aori's hand. "Good, now keep it from me." Aori shouted as he rushed in on the clone. The clone ran and dodged, but his speed wasn't up to par with Aori's so he was quickly caught. As Aori grabbed the clone around the waist he was met with an elbow to the side of his jaw. This caused a knee jerk reaction by Aori who spun with the blow and counter with one of his own. A pop followed by a clack filled the small chamber of the cave. Aori looked where his clone was and saw now a  small amount of water and the stone. For a moment sadness washed over the boy as if he has just lost a friend, but then realized that he got caught up in the moment of playing with his new jutsu and it was more like he had lost one toy in a infinite set of the same toys.


    Aori tried creating another clone. He weaved the signs and let his chakra flow. The clone bubbled into reality and Aori pushed more chakra still, weaving another set of hand seals and another clone emerged. "Fight each other.", Aori told them. The two clones looked at one another and both drew the replica of the sickle that Aori kept on him. One drew a senbon while the other flitted toward his opponent. A flurry of strikes and blocks proceeded and soon Aori lost which one was which, but it didn't matter and as soon as one could land a blow the other burst like bubble. Aori created another one and called on the pair to attack him. The damage they caused wasn't severe and he had real weapons, not just water replicas. It was a surreal sight, he knew now what it looked like for someone to fight against him and Naga. Though he'd easily best the clones, it was still amazing to watch him and his brother come flying towards him.

Naga

    Rested from his break and eager to continue to learn, Naga takes one last bite of an apple and tosses it down the hillside for an animal to finish off then turns and enters the cave once more. He sees his brother meditating by the small pool of water with his clone and notices a flicker of pride and envy. Naga had torn through the book he had for a clone jutsu, but there was none in this book. The shared knowledge of whichever water clone that was would have to suffice for now. "I'll pick up the slack for the offensive training then.", Naga thought aloud as he opened his book again looking for the follow up to the last jutsu.


    Flowing almost effortlessly through the handseals, Naga notices how similar they are to the last technique and the chakra control is about the same too. Finishing off the seals he clasps his hands together and .... Nothing. Back to the passage he goes. Reading it over and over again. Finally Naga tries again. First, chakra control. Second, handselas. Now, forming two large boulders under the earth of the cave and as Naga claps his hands together two small boulders the size of a grown man's head fly upward and ping off the cave's ceiling. He and Aori have to dodge the debris and rocks falling from the muddled jutsu. Aori flashes an angry glare that reads, 'Are you serious!? Be more careful!' Naga picks up his book and moves outside the cave.

    The night sky is just now starting to push the sunlight back, but there's enough light still to dodge falling boulders if need be. The boy stops to meditate for a moment, setting his intention and focusing his mind on how the technique is executed. Once his mind was set he flashed through the handseals and clapped. Suddenly a wave of dirt and grass erupted and made room for two huge stones that jutted from the ground on either side of him. Naga noted that the control aspect was more the point of this jutsu. The control from the rock hammer technique was equal with the process of forming the stone itself. This time he needs to unearth the creations and send them with considerable force. The stones he made now looked like dull spikes erected from the earth almost crossing one another. The stones were also far too close as Naga had noted. They could have hit him if they were any closer or had he been moving forward.

    'Again', he thought to himself as he trailed his hands over the stones. 'I'm so close. I can get this done before...' He stares at the slowly retreating sunlight and smirks, 'Before the sun goes down.' Taking a deep breath, Naga centers himself and his will. His hands fly through the seals, his muscles doing all the thinking at this point as his focus is on his chakra and the stones themselves. A booming sound fills the woods and quickly masks the sound of Naga's hands coming together as two large stones fly from the earth and take dead roots with it ultimately toppling a small nearby dead tree. The sound startled and excited the boy. The tree falling gave him a target. Quickly more stones shot from the ground, lifting the small tree trunk from the ground and sending it airborne a mere foot or two. 'More force, but how?' Naga wondered to himself and quickly decided that the roots caused too much resistance. Forming stones closer to the surface proved a task in and of itself, as they would clutch the roots while forming. Attempting sharper stones was met with disappointment as they couldn't get sharp enough to carve their way through the knots of fibrous material. Naga stood in a clear spot with no trees in at least 10 meters of him. Sweat poured over him from the constant effort of fighting with the roots and just the jutsu itself took it's toll. He rolled the beat up log into the clearing as well. A pounding heart and heaving breaths forced the young boy to sit. The last sliver of light streaked the sky and redoubled his resolve to gain mastery of his new skill before returning home. He pushed to his feet and began weaving signs. An explosion of dirt and then wood solidified his last attempt of the jutsu for today. As the stones came into focus in front of him he saw no log and instinctively looked up. The damn stones were slopped toward Naga. The log was a dark brown blot against an almost black background with no sunlight making it through the thick filter of trees surrounding the area. Bravely Naga fished through his mind for a jutsu to help take down the flying hollow hearted foe. 'Air bullets!' Naga thought to himself and laughed as he stared at the log laying on the ground close to where he was a second ago before his feet carried him away, 'Those probably would have done the trick.' He looked at the stones and the log once more. "Running bets splinters in the eyes though." He says to himself satisfied with his progress for the day as he picks up his book and heads in the cave to collect his brother.

Obscuring Mist
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates a small cloud of mist to obscure sight.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is 6 meters. Area of effect is a cloud spreading from the user 6 meter radius and 6 meters high. This technique requires a medium source of water nearby. A misty vapor arises around the user. It is stationary. The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 2 meters. A creature 2 meters away has concealment. Creatures farther away have total concealment, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target. A moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a Gust of Wind Jutsu, disperses the fog in 4 rounds. A strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. A fireball, flame strike, or similar Jutsu burns away the fog in the explosive or fiery Jutsu's area. A wall of fire burns away the fog in the area into which it deals damage. This Jutsu does not function underwater.
Limit: Must know Water Release.

Aori


    Aori could feel his brothers eyes as he sat by the water with his clone reading over the other skills in his book. The clone next to him sat silently offering no help with the decision at hand. With a waive of Aori's hand the clone popped out of reality and just like that a skill popped out at Aori. 'While Naga corners the market on offense, I'll make sure we're covered for strategy as well.', Aori thought to himself as read the passage of the Obscuring Mist Technique. The boy studied the text carefully and tried to understand how the jutsu worked. He worked on balancing and controlling his chakra first. Then he moved closer to the waters edge.

    Going over the simple handseals over and over seemed pointless, but Aori knew that he needed to ingrain it in his mind and so he did. He would often make a short short story or a little rhyme to link the handseals with the jutsu to help him remember. This time was no different. "Serpent, the water, ram, mountain of fire, the monkey mixes both for cover from the tiger.", he repeated over and over. The rhythm got faster and faster and sealed meaning in his brain. As his hands told his story he expelled his chakra and stared at his weakly sloshing reflection. The water was already mostly calm, but as the chakra mixed in with it, it seemed to almost solidify. Soon a wisp of vapor here and there began to rise from the pool. Aori immediately felt it. There wasn't enough of something. It should have happened already. There should be a mist in every direction, but all there is, is tiny tentacles of fog reaching up from the water.

    The young ninja goes over his chakra control again and tries the jutsu once more. The mist begins to rise and fill the area, but there is still complete visibility. It looked like he was in the smoky rooms of the gambling house out in the country. There was nothing obscuring about it. A sudden violent crash happened behind Aori and caused him to jump and look. As he did he noticed debris, several small rocks and one decent sized stone flying his way. As he dodged what he could, making sure the larger stone was definitely one that he could, he counted himself lucky to not be in a dense fog right now. Dust swirled inside the light fog Aori had made. More of the chakra infused water sloshed into the air when the stone rolled into the pool. Aori shot Naga a look of furry and regard letting his brother know how senseless he was being. Naga left the cave and Aori felt a little bad, but his brother was probably going to leave anyway knowing how dangerous whatever he was practicing would be in here. He let this thought ease his mind.

    The air was a bit thicker now. The added water and unsettled debris clouded Aori's vision, but lit a clear spark in his mind. The chakra control of the jutsu had multiple stages, this he knew, the passage told him as much. The hard part is gauging how much chakra to use when and where. You could write it in a book, but someone would call you a liar. It's like explaining how to pull on each tendon in your body to move a limb. Yes, it gives the same result to each person and it looks the same, but if you walked with someone else's legs you'd likely find yourself on the floor. Chakra is like that, different feel for each person resulting in the same effect... usually. Marshalling through the hand story once more, Aori pushes, pulls, and weaves his chakra around him. Vapor rises from the pool and a mist begins to swirl. It completely envelopes the surrounding area and Aori can't see through it. The boy summons another clone inside the mist, commands, "Come find me." and darts backwards through the thick fog. Moments later a splash can be heard followed by laughter.

Naga

    As the boys got ready for their day, hours before the sun would come up, they discussed their training. Naga had already picked out his next jutsus to learn and started memorizing the passage in the book for his first one. As they walked through Iwagakure and out to the cave Naga practiced the handseals while loosing himself in the thoughts of how best to train the jutsu to mastery and all of it's applications. "I might need your help today.", he said to Aori. After a moment his brother questioned him on why and how, to which Naga replied, "This jutsu has defensive as well as offensive capabilities. I just want to be sure I can use it fast enough. I'd be more than happy to help you train as well if you need help. It's been kinda boring training alone." Aori agrees to his brother's request and tells him after they grasp their individual jutsus for the day.

    As soon as they arrive they set up their day camp and eat. While he eats, Naga goes over his book one last time. Afterwards he gets to work. He begins flowing through the signs and purging his chakra into the earth under him. Once the seals are complete he focuses on raising a small amount of earth directly in front of him. The feat doesn't prove difficult and he actually manages it with ease. The small amount of earth was a breeze compared to the stones he was forming before. Even with the ease that he had lifting it, he still practiced this multiple times. The second was slightly larger than the first, the third, was slightly bigger than the second and more dense. The fourth one stood as tall as Naga himself and twice as wide. The fifth, sixth, and seventh were of varying size and density, but they were all performed with speed in mind. The eighth and ninth, however looked almost identical and were erected with haste. Though they were both smaller than the book said they should be, the pillars would have given Naga cover should he need it, but the boy wasn't ready to stop. Naga worked chakra through the ground as he weaved the signs. Expanding his chakra through the earth in front of him as far he could stretch it. Almost instantly a pillar of stone slid from the ground with great force. Doubting it's density and it's ability to block incoming attacks Naga cycled through another set of hand seals and formed a large boulder beside him then hurled it at the pillar. It slammed against the pillar and the pillar cracked, but stood. Naga hurled a second one and when it didn't send the stony barrier crashing down he was impressed with himself. The third one though, that one shattered the once great shield of rock, but not Naga's spirit. He was still quite happy with his training.

    It was hours since they started training. Sunlight started to pour into the cave where it could reach. Naga figured Aori would have a firm handle on his jutsu by now for sure. "I'm ready when you are, brother!", he announced. Aori said something of a warning and began to weave signs. Damn he's fast. A small lance of water hopped from Aori's mouth and flitted past Naga. He understood then that his wasn't practice, this was the test. Naga jumped to the side to dodge another bolt of water. Water or spit? Naga was disgusted at the thought, but found himself more concerned with the stinging sensation on his leg. Too distracted, Naga failed to dodge the needle, but was already weaving his signs. A translucent needle lanced toward Naga as he pushed his chakra with much fervor, ejecting a stone column from the cave floor. Naga could hear the pop of the needle on the other end of the pillar followed by two more and then a silence. Rounding the stone Naga sees Aori rushing at him and instinctively punches him in the ribs and grabs at him, but before he can get his hands around his brother the body pops out of existence. Footsteps approach from behind and Naga spins, throwing a wild kick and finding no target. A force pushes him upward and out from behind the pillar. As Naga flies backwards he sees his brother standing where he had been from the start, forming another clone and processing more seals. Naga flickers his hands about and rolls backwards as he falls. Once on his knees and upright, Naga pulls another pillar from the ground and lunged behind it. An audible pop rings out overhead from the clone that Naga flung into the air with the pillar. More popping erupts from the ground and side of the pillar where the boy just was. Another stinging sensation lurches through Naga's arm. Hit again. Naga's hands flash as he hears approaching foot steps, another pillar juts out from the already existing one. Though not as big, the pillar finds it's intended target and deletes it from the world. More signs flash from Naga's hand and another stinging needle finds it's way to his back. Naga spins and a glob of mud is flung into Aori's face, blinding him.

Aori


    Aori slumps around the house thinking about what jutsu he's going to practice today. He thinks about switching elements and grabs the small book on wind jutsus and pockets it. As he collects his gear he notices the water book out on a desk. 'I'll just bring both.', he thinks to himself as he stuffs the small tome in his chest pocket. Aori and his brother walk through their village and out to the countryside to train. The cave has become almost a second home to the boys now. As they walk, the young shinobi pulls the book from his breast pocket and thumbs through it focused on finding an offensive jutsu to up his repertoire and effectiveness in combat. Thoughts of how each jutsu he looked at could be combined with what he learned already shuffled around in his head like puzzle pieces trying to find the right fit. He found one, "Mouth Shot", it was called. Aori liked that it was fast and sneaky. His thoughts were interrupted by his brother's voice. It took a moment to register what his brother said, but Aori figured out his brother was asking for assistance later. "Why do you need my help? How will I help you with your jutsu?", Aori asked. Naga said something to the effect of training for speed and training alone being boring. Aori liked the thought of training with his brother. When they practiced  taijutsu they always trained together, but ninjutsu was too dangerous to practice on someone before knowing how to control it first. "Yea, that would be nice. We need to get a proper grasp on our jutsus first, but I think training together would be a lot of fun."

    Shortly after arriving to the cave they ate. While they ate Aori read over the jutsus passage and contemplated it for a bit. After breakfast, Naga walked away, but Aori stayed by the entrance and meditated on the task for the day. He could see it clearly, the water forming into a needle and shooting forward. He swirled his chakra and practiced peeling and threading it in his mouth to form it into needle like precision. The technique was going to be easy, the focus on small needle formations was going to prove somewhat challenging. After several moments of meditating and focusing on his chakra control, Aori studied the hand seals again. Making his story with his hands to commit the seals to memory and retelling the story multiple times until he was confident enough to move on. Once the seals were fixed in his mind Aori pooled his chakra into his mouth and formed the seals and released the water from his mouth. The needle came out more like a glob of water with high surface tension, making it more like a water balloon and as such it popped and sloshed across the ground where it hit in front of his feet. Aori focused again and readied the attack. Paying careful attention to the chakra in his mouth he attempted a shot across the cave and with crazy speed a water droplet flung from his mouth with an inaudible impact somewhere in the dark. Disappointed in his lack of progress he forcefully spit his excess chakra and saliva to the floor with a soft crack. He did it again and it produced a weaker effect, but it gave him an idea. Contorting hands led into a focused look followed by splinter of water ripping off of his tongue and towards the ground ending with a forceful pop. Success has been reached, but now he needs to test if it was just luck. *SNAP*-*POP* Nope, not luck. Aori practiced a bit more and felt a numbing sensation on his tongue.

    After a short rest and a drink the pain was gone and Naga called out to him that he was ready to begin. "Okay, but this is your only warning shot.", Aori said before releasing a needle of water from his mouth purposefully missing his brother. Taking aim this time, Aori fired another, but Naga bounded sideways so he shot out another. Contact. Aori took notice in Naga's reaction to know how the attack felt. It wasn't used with great force, but he wanted to be careful to not go too easy. It didn't look too painful, but it definitely got Naga moving, he was weaving hand seals now, good. Aori tried to get a couple more shots off before his brother could summon his pillar. As much of a shock as the water needle might have been for Naga, the stone pillars would have the opposite effect on Aori as they were loud and hard to miss, scattered all over the cave like they were. The attack was too slow and the pillar was too strong. Aori released another one for good measure as he weaved another set of seals and summoned two clones and directed them to flank either side of the pillar and expose his brother. As they rushed the pillar he readied his next attack and a clone popped, bursting like a bubble and leaving no trace so that's where aimed his attack. After the needle slung by unnoticed Aori summoned another clone to distract Naga who almost immediately created another pillar as he landed, but the roll he did gave Aori time to fire off another needle that found purchase in Naga's arm. The pillar sent the original clone flying upwards before it popped, impressing Aori at the usefulness of his brother's jutsu. While the clone flanked the left side of the pillar his master took a wide turn around the right, creating another clone and firing off another needle that hit square his Naga's back. This one was fired with just a little more force than the rest. Aori watched as his distraction was hit like a cue ball from a pillar coming from another pillar. Then he watched as his scapegoat got blinded. It popped just as Aori created a shroud of mist from himself as he sat down ever so quietly and carefully on top of the pillar his brother was hiding behind and regarded the numbness in his mouth again.

Naga

    Naga and Aori woke early like usual, but before they left their home their grandfather, Aki, met them at the door. "Time to up your training. Your low class techniques aren't going to cut it on a real mission.", the older man said sternly. "I know you've got these flimsy books from the library, but I can help teach each of you a technique this week before I leave town. I'll teach you more when I return." Naga was amazed, not only at the man's willingness to train them, but also at how early he was up. There would be times where they would come home for lunch and the old man would look as though he had just gotten up. "Naga, you're training in earth ninjutsu, correct? We'll start learning Rock Explosion. I've written a short summary of the jutsu here.", the scruffy man said as he handed him a small leaflet.

    Once they made it to their training area Aki immediately took Aori to the side and started to go over the technique he was teaching him. While he did Aori started to go over his leaflet. Seeing that a decent amount of chakra would be needed for this technique, Naga decided to meditate briefly to ground himself and set a focus and feel on his chakra so that he didn't expend too much. He visualized the jutsu as written in the leaflet, with the chakra flowing through his hand and then the earth and finally mixing with a rock and forcing it to explode. He turned the images over in his mind as he went through the list of hand seals. There was more here than his previous techniques, but he expected as much since it was a more advanced technique. All the same he moved through the signs over and over until they were embedded in his mind. Once he was done with that he went to find a rock.

     Aki made his way over to Naga and flashed a few hand seals and created a small rock the size of his fist. He pointed at the rock and said, "You'll use this, but first let me see those seals." Naga did as his grandfather asked and weaved the hand seals once again. As he did, Aki stopped him about halfway through. "As you're weaving the seals you need to start your chakra flow. Get it up to your hand by the time your hand reaches the ground to lessen the time of the jutsu. A split second decides life and death." Naga began to repeat the seals and listening to his elder began to pull his chakra into his hand. "Good, you're fast. Now let's see the whole technique.", Aki demanded. The boy took a deep breath and focused, preparing himself to make his grandfather proud. Naga's hands danced through several complex movements before he finally slammed his hand to the ground. He poured his chakra into the earth and focused into the stone Aki had made. The rock began to shake and Naga tried to force more chakra into it, but only shook and never exploded. Not even so much as a crack. "You're not trying to burst a water skin, Naga. You're making a stone explode." Aki expressed. "You can't just simply overfill it and expect it to shatter. You need to force your chakra to push it apart."

     Naga attempted the jutsu again, more determined if slightly embarrassed by his failure and the lecture that followed. This time as he sent his chakra into the rock he focused on expanding it. Though the rock was only about 10 meters away from him he felt as though his chakra was being stretched thin so he pushed more, but the more he sent the less control he could feel. It wasn't completely out of control, not by a long shot, but he could feel it wasn't as collected as it should be. The stone rocked back and forth and side to side, there was even a slight crack that definitely, possibly, maybe wasn't there before, but still no explosion. Naga gave the jutsu another attempt before he knew Aki would interject. He pushed the chakra through the earth and into the rock. As the hardened stone vibrated he focused on his chakra expanding outward and pushing against the dense center of the stone. The stone cracked and moved about violently before giving a small rupture and finally an explosion. "Not bad for the first few attempts." Aki said walking back to Naga. "You must work on that control though. You keep filling the stone and pushing with your chakra and you'll find the jutsu takes way more out of you than it should. Let your chakra mix with the stone and then expand it. Don't waste more than you have to or you won't last long in a fight."

     With his newly acquired information Naga targets another stone and performs his jutsu once more. Within a second he has a hold of the stone and is working on mixing his chakra with the minerals in the rock. Once he could feel the chakra bound to the innards of the chunk of earth he takes a deep breath and focuses on the expansion of his chakra. A loud *crack* rings through the air forcing Naga to snap his head down and close his eyes. Chips of stone rain down. The ones flying horizontally sting a little as they hit flesh, but the rest feel like hard rain. The small rock had been reduced to rubble in mere seconds. Naga glowed at the thought of now being able to create and destroy earth itself and just for a second he let his mind wander into the possibilities of how far this could go. He looked over at his grandfather and noticed a slight smirk on his face. In that instant Naga's heart swelled.

Aori

    Aori snapped out of what little sleep still lingered as he and Naga were heading out for the day when they ran into Aki. The old man was hardly ever awake at this hour and no less he was willing to train the boys before going off for work next week. "Aori", Aki said, "You know the technique Obscuring Mist, right? We will work on the expanded version of the technique. I don't know the water release, but I will help how I can. You have a tactical mind and these techniques have great ambush potential." As they walked off, Aki went over the details of the technique and the chakra expansion needed.

    Once at the training ground Aori set his supplies down and Aki started going over the hand seals with Aori. The young boy quickly picked up the seals quickly as they were only an extended variant of the lesser version of the jutsu. The chakra control seemed to be the same as well. The amount of chakra used is obviously more, but it's still not that costly. Despite the technique being the same when Aori tried the expanded version, the thick fog was more like a light haze. Aki explained, "You need to concentrate your chakra to gather more moisture from the air to condense. Did you use a water source every time you preformed the obscuring mist jutsu?" Aori nodded in response. "Okay", Aki said, "Then you should probably attempt the lesser variant of the skill and move on from there." Aori thought about it and agreed. He weaved the seals and performed the original technique. A dense fog collected around him as he focused on his chakra condensing the moisture in the air around him. More and more the fog grew until it reached the size it should. It took a bit longer, but not much. The morning dew helped.

    Once the mist was at full capacity Aori strung more signs together and focused on his chakra once more. Collecting the moisture in the air and condensing it around the already existing fog making it grow more, expanding it out further and higher. This part of the jutsu didn't take long either, but combining the two to make one isn't worth the time or wasted chakra. After a few minutes when Aori found his way out of the fog he collected himself and tried again. This time he expanded his chakra out from his body as he weaved the precursive signs for the jutsu and almost instantly the fog began to form around the boy. In a matter of seconds the fog was spread 30 meters across and 15 meters high, but the visibility still wasn't right. Aori summoned a clone to walk through the fog and at about 5 meters away the clone was still visible. He sat on the ground and meditated on the subject. Expanding his chakra helped fill the space, but didn't condense the fog enough. He shouldn't purge so much chakra that he wastes a majority of it on a single jutsu. So he thought and thought before he came to a conclusion; slow expansion. It would take maybe a fraction of a second longer, and sacrifice maybe a few millimeters to the area, but both were preferable to flawed effect. He also knew that the more he used it the better and more efficient at it he would become. So he made another attempt and this time he focused on condensing the air around him and pulling his chakra closer together and spreading out from the completed areas of the mist and traveling to another part and then another until roughly 29 meters by 13 meters around Aori were completely dense. The clone had to be almost against Aori to see him by the time he was done. It wasn't the fastest nor the max size, but it gave the perfect effect.

Naga

    After a short break Naga was ready to train again. This time he collected all the rocks he needed and set them up in varying places, near and far, on either side of him as well as in front and behind, he even stacked smaller ones on top of bigger ones. The boy made special care to move the larger boulders to the furthest points that he could knowing that they would be more dangerous. Once everything was set up and in place he took a short rest once again to recuperate from not only moving the stones, but in some cases create the stones, mostly the larger ones that he couldn't just find laying around. His break consisted of stretching and limbering up his hands as they were starting to feel quite stiff from the cold.

    Naga took a readied stance in the small circle he outlined as his "safe spot". This area would be out of the reach of the main area of effect of the jutsu though he would still be sprinkled by the debris. Dirty meant a good training session to Naga though and he wouldn't feel accomplished if he didn't have some dirt and sweat on him before he was done. The boy warmed up his hands once more before flipping fingers and palms around making seals and purging his chakra into the earth. He found his target one after another on smaller rocks and then onto slightly larger rocks. He tried for a large rock, but then found he was unable to perform the attack. Thinking it was possibly out of range, because it didn't even quake as the smaller rocks did before they broke, he moved a bit closer. Standing on the edge of his circle taking another stab at the technique. Still nothing. He began to inch forward again. "BOOM!", a loud voice rang out startling the young boy. Aki stepped into view and said, "That would be a very bad thing to hear within blasting distance, don't you think? Are you dumb, boy? Do you want to lose an eye or a limb?" The more the man spoke the redder he got, but as quick as it came his fury left him with a controlled breathing technique.

    Aki stepped into the circle and performed the same jutsu Naga had been working on. Naga often forgot that his grandfather was so skilled in ninjutsu, but quickly remembered with a loud 'bang' as the boulder he was trying to burst instantly exploded. "You need to trust your chakra to get the job done. You are like a boss who won't let his subjects work freely. You do that and you will only get half as much done at the expense of twice the energy." Naga, thinking he understood Aki's sage-like advice, ran through the steps again, but lost all control of his chakra once he pierced the earth with it. "No no no. Not like that!. You need to give your chakra a task. You need to tell it where to go and what to do when it gets there.", the old man spouted bordering frustration. Once again Naga tried, though his resolve was weakening. He had started with such enthusiasm, but seeing how quickly not only his training, but his grandfather's attitude had taken turns for the worst, he became distraught just as fast. He focused on the actions he wanted his chakra to take and turned those actions into mere mental commands. The chakra raced through the earth and found its target and then, with little effort, the large boulder ruptured. A firm hand clasped the boys shoulder. "You did that with dwindling spirit, now just imagine what you can do now." Aki smiled through the phrase so the boy would know just how proud he was of him. Naga, with his sense of pride and belonging restored, mustered up another go at the technique, taking aim at a simple stone cairn he made of three stones of similar size. One after another they all flung themselves open, starting at the top and working their way down. Naga smiled and continued to clear his training area.

Aori

    The mist slowly faded and once it had Aori was ready to get back to work. Precision was good, but his timing still needed work. The seals weren't the problem, it was the collection of the mist. It was far too slow to be used effectively. Even letting his chakra flow naturally to do the work was too slow. Now the morning dew had dissipated and there was no low hanging fog. Aori went in search of the source of water in the cave, but alas it was frozen solid. The sheer cold inside the cave was intensified by it's refusal to lend any sort of support to the young boy. Aori grew impatient with his lack of skill and the further lack of help from anything around. He heard a sound from outside the cave. It grew louder and louder. His brother's immaculate training no doubt. Aori excelled at hand to hand training, but Naga was always the better jutsu user and though the trade off was fair, Aori always felt he got the short end of that particular stick. His tan rigged ears perked as they picked up another sound in the mix of the booming ruckus. His grandfather's voice.

"Aori? Where'd you go?", Aki called out.
"I'm here.", Aori replied weakly.
"What's wrong, boy? Calling it quits for the day? Could have picked a better spot to take the day off, haha!"
"No, Sofu. I was looking for water to help with my training, but I can't find any."
"No water, huh? Pretty sure that water there would do just fine if it was a bit warmer."
"Yea, but until it thaws there's no use in trying it."

    "Well then we'll just have to speed up that process.", Aki said while he moved over to the ice, weaving signs along the way. "Heat is my specialty, ya know.", the old man said just before spewing flames from his mouth. The heat was so intense that Aori could feel it from 15 feet away and it wrapped around his whole body. It only made the cold air worse, though, as it quickly reclaimed its hold on everything when the fire was gone. A cold steam had taken the fire's place though and that meant that the water should be, yes, the ice was thawed and the water underneath was exposed. Aori could practically jump for joy at the sight. He didn't waste a second before weaving hand seals and expressing his thanks to his grandfather. Utilizing the mist already looming over the water and then the pool itself Aori quickly put together a dense fog. The boy had positioned himself in such a way that he only needed to walk straight ahead with no obstacles and he would come to the entrance to this part of the cave. When the mist was fully formed he walked forward until he was free from the shroud and turned to see it in all of it's glory. It was massive. Filling up almost the entirety of this section of the cave and with no breeze the could would surely linger for some time. This was good, but Aori quickly thought of what this meant. He was now cut off from his water supply. "Damnit!", he cursed at the thought and his lack of planning. He sent in a clone to retrieve some water for him, but after a while the clone returned empty handed and confused. 

    Aki showed up again shortly after and chuckled slightly. When Aori looked at him the old man waved a hand, gesturing the boy to follow and so he did. They walked outside and away from the blasting rocks that was a hellish mine field towards a lush grassy area still wet due to the shade of the cave. "You've gotten this far using an abundance of water at your disposal, but you won't always have that and until you learn how to make water, you'll have to use what you can find.", Aki told the young boy. "You're bright and one hell of a strategist. Put yourself in a situation like this and you will find there is more than enough resources here at your disposal. It's not just water on the grass and leaves and trees here. There's water in them as well." "I know there is, but that water takes too long to gather.", Aori argued. "Then take your time now, while you have it. All things get better with practice.", the old man retorted. So Aori got to work. His fingers danced their dance and his chakra went to work collecting the water around him. "Use both. The inside and the outside.", Aki coached. Aori's chakra sapped the water inside the surrounding vegetation and plucked the dew that still clung to it and pulled it in, condensing it, forming a ghastly veil. In a matter of seconds the fog was complete and Aori stood impressed. He moved through the fog and eventually escaped, still in the shadow of the small mountain where things were still wet. Thinking he could move faster still, Aori flashed sign after sign and once again collected the sweet nectar of life from the surrounding flora. It had become easier now. It was almost like the water wanted to come to Aori and the plants were willingly giving it away. Another fog cloud appeared almost instantly. Aori couldn't be more pleased with himself, but then he thought back to what his grandfather said about creating water. This he had to learn.
