Forbidden Travel

[Itaru]

Itaru settled the pouch securely on his belt loop and opened the door to his apartment complex. With Kokkan sleeping soundly, he wouldn’t need to worry about her messing up the area too much while he was gone. Traveling through the dark, empty streets, Itaru could hear nothing but the faint sound of his sandals kicking up the gravel that gathered on the roads. It was quite a travel to the Bear Country, but Itaru was definitely up to the long travel, since it was for a large benefit.

[Itaru]

For the scroll that contained the forbidden Jutsu he longed to learn. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu was a technique that called for an incredible amount of chakra, and Itaru had often longed to master it. It would indeed be an asset, since he often thought during battles, ‘If only I had Kage Bunshin at the moment.’ But now those troubles would be fixed when he had got that scroll.

Itaru gazed up at the night skies and thought back to Chi. The breeze against his cheek made him think back to her gentle touch, and made him wish he had never left her back when they were taking a mission long ago. Her voice would be so peaceful to his aural right at this moment. Itaru looked up to notice the location drawing closer and closer. It wouldn’t be longer now.

[Itaru]

The soft wind caressing his cheek was welcoming. He had nearly forgotten this free sensation every since becoming a Chuunin for his village, strangely. Itaru leaned himself against a nearby tree, gazing at the terrain that lay before him. This would be his first time in Bear country, and it was truly a sight to behold. The journey was well worth the sight, if not for the scroll…

Releasing a sigh, Itaru continued his wait for the arrival of the Shinobi he was expecting to bring the scroll to him. He would train not only train with the Shinobi, but perhaps he would even befriend him as well. This would be the second Sand ninja he had come in contact with, and he had only hoped that this ninja was just as pleasant as the one before him. If not, that would be just find with Itaru, because he knew how to be patient when it called for it.

[Koori.]

The night sky masked his movements as Koori ran through out the bear country, destination unknown to even himself. He was looking for new training grounds, and perhaps someone to train with. He had a scuffle within the Earth country over that shield he wanted so badly, but that went raw, and Stone Shinobi had most likely heard about the events that took place no doubt. As he ran through the woods quickly, he noticed, just barely the man he was looking for. A smirk, could be found on the Ex Cloud ninja's face as he now wore the Sunakagure Headband proudly around his left forearm.

Coming to a halt skiding, since he was in full run. Koori looked back at the man and spoke but only a few words.

"Are you Itaru?"[/i]

[Itaru]

Upon hearing the vocals of the Sand ninja, Itaru turned his body around to meet eyes with the Shinobi. The brown hair of this warrior gave away his identity, and Itaru knew for sure this was who he sought. “I am. You must be Koori then.” The Stone ninja would speak with a bow of his head to the fellow ninja standing before him. He didn’t care for any small talk, and began walking towards Koori with his hands behind his back.

He tried to make himself seem a bit vulnerable, to avoid an unnecessary fight between the two. “You’ve brought the scroll?” The Chuunin would question.

[Koori.]

Koori was glad to hear these words as the man bowed and approached him. A smirk found its way to Koori's face as he nodded, Pulling the Scroll forth from his backpack, Koori opened it up in one fluid motion, kneeling as he went to set it upon the ground.

"Just like she told me, the Kage Bushin scroll"[/i]

Said Koori hinting to Kurenai's words, being the middle man so to speak, even though she was a girl. No matter, Koori also intended to complete the training he had started on such a technique. He had already gotten down the basics, like the special handseal needed, and even created like, a half mushy clone of himself thus far. The training was alot harder then it looked upon first glance, Koori had found out the hard way, that was for sure.

"Shall we get started?"[/i]

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)
Rank: B

Effect: The Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) is a increased and stronger form of the Regular Bushin jutsu which is a meer Genjutsu. Kage Bushin allows the clones to actually inflict damage upon the opponent, They can even use jutsu for they carry their own chakra circulatory system making it even impossible for the Hyuuga clan members to tell them apart from the original.

The clones are real enough they even bleed when cut but when inflicted with enough damage the clone disappears.
Special: A special Handsign where the user crosses the two first fingers of each hand making a cross.
Drawback: The average user can only make about 5 clones. Excessive use of the Clone jutsu can leave the use extremely low on chakra. When the clones are destroyed the user does not get a return in charka.

With a nod, Itaru gave his response, not finding it really required for him to actually peak out loud. With his vocals going unused for so long, he would have though he had lost his voice entirely, but he was glad to see that that wasn’t the case. Now it would be time to train with this Sand Genin, and master the forbidden technique, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. As the immense amount of chakra surged through his body, Itaru focused.

He focused on nothing but the chakra. Everything else around seemed to go unnoticed, or as though it was simply insignificant and meant nothing to Itaru. For some strange reason, he wanted to think back to the Genin known as Aiko and Tsumatai back in the Stone Village, but he refrained from doing so as best he possibly could. Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about those two pitiful Genin—there was a technique to complete.

Energy began to build within Itaru’s body, and it was now that Itaru created the unique hand seal that was granted to this technique, and this NinJutsu alone and no other. Itaru was never quite sure what this special hand sign really meant, but he was sure he would understand it better as the time went by. While the training with this Sand Shinobi would pass, he would understand more of the technique as time passed them by.

It was still as dark as could be, the moon high above in the sky with the faint, distanced sounds of creatures of the night lurking around the area, but who didn’t dare make an approach. The sun provided, little, but enough light for the two Shinobi to clearly see each other. Even if the sky had been without a moon completely, Itaru’s eyes couldn’t be fooled by the blackness that overcame it on moonless nights.

That was something that was unique to his bloodline, and his bloodline alone. There was no need to inform Koori of it, as they weren’t going to do battle here anytime soon. Maybe, perhaps once they had both mastered this NinJutsu they would have a friendly spare, but right now Itaru had other more important matters that needed his attention. The Chuunin’s chakra was immense. The air was almost heavy with energy.

The seal jerked left and right, back and forth the longer he held the hand sign. With the index and middle fingers combined, Itaru created this special hand seal and was now channeling his chakra to sheer perfection. Itaru was commonly quite good at chakra control, and it was coming in handy now more than any other time he could recall at the top of his head. Would Koori do the same actions as Itaru?

Or just maybe Koori had a different idea, one that would go quicker than Itaru’s method. Either way, Itaru had one sure way of mastering the technique, and even though it would be strenuous and over all simply boring, he wasn’t the type of ninja to get impatient very quickly. The chakra circulated around the seal, and Itaru was almost now ready to make his first attempt at the technique, although he didn’t expect it to go without fail on his first try.

Koori watched as the man gave a nod as Koori laid the scroll upon the ground. It was night, and a bit cold to say the least. The area was wooden and silent as Koori felt a nice breeze past his face. The technique they would be learning was one that Koori had some experience on, ever since he had stolen it from Cloud, he never did get around to finishing the learning process for such a technique. Koori knew how a few things worked a few things explained by the scroll. First and foremost was the unique handsign needed.

Koori, crossed his fingers, making a unique cross handseal upon his hands as he also nodded to Itaru as they would both start attempting this technique. Koori did infact wonder about what Itaru's skills were like and what kind of person he was. As Koori's mind wandered, he would project his chakra forth, in another attempt to split it. This technique was simply an advanced version of a normal Bushin, which was an academy genjutsu learned at an early stage in Koori's life. HE had done some work on this technique before, so he had a general idea of what he was doing for the most part.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu" A blob of mesh would appear in a puff of smoke in front of Koori as he stood in the cold night. "Dammit, no good...." spoke koori in a low tone of vioce as looked to itaru to see how he was doing. Koori perhaps, wasn't focusing his chakra enough, or wasn't concentrating on the technique well. This, was a bit embarassing that he would produce a blob rather then an actual clone. Even if he produce a normal Bushin by accident, it would have satified him more so then a blob of, well, whatever that was that he produced.

A dissappointed look found its way on Koori's face he realized he still had alot of work to do, and had kinda forgotten what to do for this technique. Crossing his fingers again, Koori formed the handseal unique to this specific technique. Koori projected his chakra forth, and attempted to plsit it once more. That was his idea to learn this technique, splitting chakra, as was the goal of this technique, split your chakra and form an exact clone of yourself. Koori, upon splitting his chakra, produced white a large poof of white smoke, a ver very plae, almost outline structure of himself, that moved to look at him, and then dissappeared with yet another poof of smoke.

Koori sighed, this was going to take much longer then he expected, that was for sure. He turned and stopped for a moment and checked to see how itaru was doing, and perhaps what method he would use for a such a technique. Koori had only made two attempts thus far, but he had a feeling he was getting a hang of things. Perhaps if he combined both of their techniques, it would make the learning process go along much much quicker.......

Itaru read over the scroll for a while. It was quite a large scroll that contained many secrets. The Kage Bunshin no Jutsu had to be some sort of sacred technique, since it was guarded by the Kage of the Hidden Villages. Itaru was surprised Koori would give this scroll to somebody to learn like Itaru, who wasn’t even from the same village as he was. Itaru was never good at creating clones as it was, this technique would take a while to learn.

Probably very troublesome as well, Itaru had to sigh. So at least it had a simple hand sign, Itaru wouldn't have to waste time trying to memorize a variety and complicated seals before preparing to teach himself the technique. Sanding up straight, Itaru shook his hands free from the tension that had built up within them and he cracked them at the knuckles. Usually he would have found some sort of warm up was in order, but that would waste time.

He let his chakra relax a bit from within his body, and he created a cross with both his index and middle fingers together. He was successful in creating a clone but… what he had created… It was a mere regular clone, even more pathetic than a regular Bunshin. Itaru created the same cross with both his fingers and closed his eyes. His chakra; it needed to be just perfect if he was to master this technique. He had all the time in the world.

It wouldn't be easy, Itaru knew that from the very beginning. It was a forbidden technique for a reason after all. Itaru had what it took to master it, he knew he did. Itaru exerted all his chakra from his body, and his figure was engulfed in a cloud of smoke. He looked from left to right to see if there had been any clones created like he wanted. Strangely, there was absolutely nothing. What could have went wrong? Itaru was left in question.

His fingers scratched gently at his hair. Oh well, Itaru told himself. It was stupid to just sit around and let himself keep wondering over something that he probably wasn't going to get the answer to. The special hand sign was where he would begin again. Itaru found his chakra center, and it began to fill to his chakra points like nothing he ever knew possible. This technique definitely was a powerful NinJutsu, and it would surely test Itaru’s skills as a Chuunin.

A sacred skill, and Itaru was teaching it to himsef no less. A puff of smoke hid him for a while, and he soon found a single clone at his side. It didn't share his physical characteristics just right. Itaru found his chakra center, and it began to fill to his chakra points like nothing he ever knew possible. This technique defintily was a powerful NinJutsu. A sacred skill, and Itaru was teaching it to himsef no less; that is, with the support of a fellow Shinobi.

Itaru couldn't waste another minute, and he sealed the one hand sign that was required for this technique. His chakra points began to fill with an incredible amount of chakra. He fueled himself with all the chakra he could at the moment, and he would later permit the clone to feed off this chakra. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" His vocals yelled, and he pressed all his chakra into one tight ball, and he concentrated…

Koori watched Itaru read over the scroll. Koori, smiled and Kneeled down to read the scroll with him. He decided it was probably best to try and read over the scrolls content once mroe with Itaru, to perhaps "re-learn" what to do. The contents of the scroll were forbidden in the hidden villages, and most likely for good reason. Koori wasn't exactly sure why, but that didn't stop him from wanting to learn this excellent technique.

The hardest part of this was perhaps the actual technique itself, as odd as it sounded. Crossing his fingers once more, Koori focused his chakra out in front of him, and projected it just like he had before. Koori's body shook as he held the handseal and attempted to project his chakra and split it to form a clone. With a white poof of smoke after a few seconds, Koori managed to make a clone that looked pretty good.

It had all the features Koori had, and Koori had even commanded it to move and it did such. Here was the kicker, shadow clones, could mold chakra, normal Bushins could do no such thing. That would be the test. Koori commanded the Clone to perform a jutsu he knew fairly well, the Zeus's bolt technique. Dropping to one knee, the clone would focus and mold chakra into its right hand as per instructed. Lightning chakra would surge forth from his hand, an the clone, vanished in a poof of white smoke.

Koori, let out a deep sigh as he realized he was so close, yet so far. The clone had managed to begin the process for the jutsu, but could not hold nor retain the chakra it needed, and swith such, vanished once more. This was getting annoying to Koori. He knew he could do this and pull off this technique, it was only a matter of time before he would have ti down.

Koori, was confident now, crossing his fingers, Koori formed the special handseal needed for this technique. Not only confident, but Koori was determined. Looking over to Itaru, Koori wondered how his progress was coming along with this technique. He would not wait to find out, he would have this down by the end of the night, that was for sure. Holding the Handseal Koori would make another attempt to split his chakra, hopefully it would work this time......

All the chakra escaped his body, and a cloud hid his body away momentarily, and later he would find a clone to his right. It was nothing of a clone. Not even a regular Bunshin. Hell, Itaru didn't know what the hell it was. Landing a punch to its face, Itaru growled at it as it left from his sight. It was hideous, Itaru didn't even want to attempt to describe it. The cross was created by the index and middle finger on both right and left hands.

Holding this special hand sign, Itaru concentrated on his chakra. Obviously he wasn't doing this enough. For a clone to come out that way, something had to be wrong with Itaru or something. It was ridiculous to say the least. And like hell was he going to lose at this technique. His power would become an asset to the Village Hidden in the Stones, although he still found no sort of liking towards the new Sensei. Itaru shook his head.

He needed to stop thinking about such things. He needed to focus on the technique, and the technique alone. Enough falling into stupid thoughts, this technique would be learned by tomorrow as it was required, as Itaru had business to take care of. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Itaru's eyes became clouded in the dust around his body, but it was quick to clear and once looking all around, he found a clone behind him.

He stared blankly at it. Its tongue hung out from the side, looking like a complete fool. Drool slipped from its mouth and its so called eyes stared off into the distance. What the hell was this thing now? Itaru asked. He did a complete spin and brought his leg up, the heel of his foot making smashing contact with the head of the clone, and forcing it to disappear from existence. Itaru was beginning to feel like an idiot having to do this over and over.

Hopefully Koori was doing better at this than he was. What could be done about it? Itaru was to master this technique in one day. Crossing his arms over his chest, and he began to think silently to himself. This was common of Itaru to do when he was frustration. Or above anything else...when he was sulking. He sat down on the grass and began breathing in the air around him. Nothing in Bear was the same as back in Iwagakure.

Not the smells or scenery. His shoulders had to shrug, and create the Ram hand sign. Before continuing he would find his chakra center and find a way to use it for this technique. He would have to mold his physical characteristics into the chakra in his body. Concentrate his energy into the Ram seal, he told himself, and think of the technique later once you've understood exactly what it means to master this technique.

He nodded to himself and closed his eyes. The chakra in his body was running wildly in his body, like he had absolutely no control over it at all. He needed to calm it and put it at ease. It would follow his orders and do what he said. Muscles in the shoulders relaxed and Itaru exhaled calmly through his nostrils. He needed more chakra, it wasn't ready yet. Into the seal the chakra would gather, but it wouldn't be used for any sort of technique.

Not yet anyway. This would simply be to focus his chakra better so he could get a better understanding of the technique. To prove something to that Rain Shinobi was what drove him into this, and his chakra began to surge wildly around his body. His hearing and sense of smell became something so powerful; Itaru could calculate almost every leave in the trees above him. He took in calm breaths, in and out, and focused.

He wouldn't lose his focus now, and the chakra around him was so intense it was far more than what he felt while learning any other B-ranked technique. It was a shocking experience, but he wouldn't lose his mind to it and grow too excited that he completely forgot of the main objective. As Itaru slowly let his chakra return to his body, he pulled his hands away from the seal he created. Now was time to try this technique again.

He wasn't sure how successful he would be, but there was no other way of finding out other than putting it into action. He grunted a few times before he got to his feet. Due to being separated from his country, it was hard for Itaru to find the motivation to get off his ass and start learning the technique. He lacked it because, although he hated to admit it, but he felt a sense of insecurity here in Bear. It was an indescribable feeling.

Nothing like a homesick sort of feeling though. Hell, he’s barely been here even a few hours. It was a strange feeling to describe. Index and middle finger upon both his hands, right and left, were put together to create a cross. It couldn't have been too bad learning while in a different country, being so close to Stone. The Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, a technique Itaru believed he would never learn in his life, since it was so sacred and Itaru wasn't exactly noble.

Surely his village would think Itaru would use it for his own purposes, and some day leave the village with the knowledge of this technique. Itaru sneered a bit to himself, and exerted more chakra into the seal that he held before his torso. There wasn't enough chakra just yet; he needed more. So thus he pushed even more chakra into his hands, but it still wouldn’t' be enough. Itaru closed his eyes and let himself fall into a deep concentration.

‘C'mon, you have to learn this technique!' he yelled at himself, and suddenly an outburst of chakra surrounded his body, causing his hair to whip around in every which direction. The wind in the air was intense and was filled with his chakra. His hands were beginning to hurt now, but he couldn't have cared any less about that. He had this technique to learn before letting himself be concerned over his hands that ached him a little.

His broken forearm and dislocated shoulder would be more of a problem for him than something that foolish. He jerked his head to the side and grunted a little bit. 'Wait, don't lose focus.' A voice in his head told him. He knew this voice, but this time he needed to agree with it. Doing something like this was strange to him too, actually listening to that damned voice that often interrupted his training and caused him nights of insomnia.

He turned his head back to face forward, and his eyes opened to gaze down at his hands that created the seal. No, it still wasn't going to be enough to create the technique, he needed much more before he would unleash the technique. Much more in fact. His shoulders began to tense up, which he didn't really want them to do, they were doing it on their own because of the strain he was putting on his chakra center.

The chakra surged like something so insane it was almost visible around his hands where the seal was being kept. 'Don't lose focus.' The voice reminded him again, and he responded to it with a nod of his head. How could he be taking advice from it he needed ask himself. He would ask himself later and if he absolutely needed to, he would think it over, but not now when he was almost there. So close, he was so close to having just the right amount of chakra.

This chakra he had gathered into his hands would be used to grant to his clone that he would soon create, and thus the clone would attempt to use a simple NinJutsu, if it was successfully an exact replica of Itaru. Could he fail now? After all, he had built up so much chakra, he thought he would be able to even create more than just one Kage Bunshin. It was just right, now was the time to use it—now or never.

The chakra in his body never felt so right, and he prepared to exert the technique to see how much further he's come. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" The words made an echo around the forest, and Itaru disappeared in a cloud of some. The cloud would soon disappear to reveal to Itaru what exact he was able to do. To his side he noticed a Kage Bunshin, or was it just a regular clone? There was only one way to find out for sure.

Itaru cut the clone at its shoulder with a kunai he retrieved from his pouch, seeing if it would bleed, but there was nothing. It made the 'puff' sound as a regular Bunshin would do. Now he was a little bit pissed off. After all that effort, this is what he got? So this was all he could do? Create a lone regular clone that couldn't even withstand the slightest laceration to its shoulder? This was beginning to simply grow old as time flew by.

He dropped into the grass again and this time he would hold the special hand sign specifically for this technique: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. He would have to focus his chakra yet again. If that was all he could do after gathering up all that chakra, then something was obviously wrong with him. He couldn't help but grunt, having to do this stupid concentration session all over again, but Itaru learned over the years to be patient.

He hated it, but he knew it had to be done if he was to do this technique right. His shoulder was beginning to ache after having to hold this hand seal for so damn long, but he wouldn't let himself disconnect the hand sign just yet. He needed to focus his chakra into this seal, and the only way to do that was to maintain it for a while longer. Until he had his chakra center just right, he wasn't going to let himself move on any further.

By doing this, he was pissing himself off, but he also understood it had to be done. As he held the seal, his eyes slowly closed to allow himself to run deep within himself and find his center where his chakra would be the thickens, and concentrate it to the best of his abilities. His chakra was strangely very active. For what reason? Itaru wasn't even moving around at all, why was it so wild within him now? The question lingered.

Couldn't it have been like this when he was actually training? Itaru was about to be hauled to the edge of insanity and over all, pure rage, but he stopped himself. His eyes closed even tighter. There was a rustle in the trees from a distance. Who could be interrupting such an important time for Itaru now? He needed to wonder. With the hand sign perfectly in place, Itaru could now feel that his chakra had calmed itself.

Aalthough there was still a rage that was within him from the interruption. He frowned at the simple thought of it, and resumed his training. 'Focus all your chakra, feel the chakra points, wield your energy.' A familiar vocal echoed within his head. For once, he found himself agreeing with the cursed voice. He hated himself for doing such a thing, but what more could he do about it? His chakra began to fill his chakra points.

They had been a bit emptied from his previous training, but strangely it took a few simple moments for him to fuel them all over again. Now he would create a Bunshin, or attempt to anyway. One to begin with, and he would improve the numbers as time went by. A 'puff' was heard from behind him, and a clone with Itaru's exact figure and face suddenly made its appearance. Whatever method he was using, it had to be working.

Itaru didn't break his focus to look back at the clone to assure it was done correctly, and now he would try creating a second. This would probably take a while. Itaru never tried creating more than one Shadow Clone before. He would never know if he didn't give it a try, he shrugged his shoulders. His chakra began to refill the points in his body, every last one. That simple clone behind him took more chakra.

More than he actually realized, and it was a bit sad to him, although he didn't exactly understand that an average Shinobi would only be able to create five affective clones. He expected far more of himself, and some day perhaps he would even learn the multiple shadow clone Jutsu. A smile would have slipped over his mouth at the simple thought of this, if the Shinobi wasn’t so cold on the inside, but made it appear he was kind on the outside.

Itaru could now feel his chakra very clearly, it was overwhelming his body like something unreal. Itaru thought something like this wasn't realistic, to feel such an intense amount of chakra. The air around him clung to his profile, due to the chakra that poured from every pore in his body, so it felt anyway. Hand shaking just the slightest bit, Itaru was just about ready to try another clone. But sadly, he had already heard the clone behind him disappear.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) is a increased and stronger form of the Regular Bushin jutsu which is a meer Genjutsu. Kage Bushin allows the clones to actually inflict damage upon the opponent, They can even use jutsu for they carry their own chakra circulatory system making it even impossible for the Hyuuga clan members to tell them apart from the original. Each clone that the user makes divides his.her chakra up evenly between them making ten clones means each clone has one tenth the original users chakra supply. The clones are real enough they even bleed when cut but when inflicted with enough damage the clone disappears.
Special: A special Handsign where the user crosses the two first fingers of each hand making a cross.
Drawback: The average user can only make about 5 clones. Excessive use of the Clone jutsu can leave the use extremely low on chakra. When the clones are destroyed the user does not get a return in charka.
Description: The Kage Bushin is an Exact Replica of the user and can not in anyway be proven to be a copy not even by the most elite of jutsu. Unless taken to the test and actually harmed.
Limit: Must be an ANBU. Must be Chuunin in order to get this technique. Kage only is capable of allowing someone to learn.

20/60

It must have been a regular clone to have lasted such a short amount of time. Oh well, he said to himself, and he continued the method he was currently using. He couldn't let himself mope over a stupid clone; he wanted a real solid shadow clone. To give it its physical characteristics, Itaru needed this to work.

Itaru quickly exerted a large amount of chakra from his body, as the chakra slipped into the clone that had appeared at his side. The clone was also situated in the grass, mimicking Itaru's pose. Itaru believed this clone to have been a shadow clone, but as he began to fill his chakra points yet again, he could hear it beside him, disappear into thin air like it was nothing all along. True enough, but Itaru was getting frustrated with these failed attempts.

Itaru needed to shake his head from these thoughts, it was only causing him to grow upset, and that was the last thing he needed at the moment. He would show them they were wrong to doubt him for a second. Itaru's head was pulled forward a little bit and hung from his shoulders, muscles flexed with so much power the veins from within began to protrude from under his very flesh. He was getting it. Just a little bit more, Itaru thought.

He still didn't have the right amount of chakra to let it all slip now. Two Shadow Clones was what he was shooting for. He couldn't let himself fail now, he could feel it within himself. The chakra was going to be just perfect this time, and he wouldn't; could not fail this time. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" His vocals pounced from the trees within the woodlands, a cloud hid him away. Did it work?

The cloud of smoke quickly disappeared with a gust of wind clearing it away, and Itaru looked to his right, and to his left. Two clones, exactly like him in appearance. But that question was this: where they actual shadow clones? Itaru dashed towards a single tree which he had set his sights on before hand, and dashed up it. Could these clones attack him. He ordered them to, and to Itaru's amazement, they did.

They dashed straight up the tree directly toward Itaru. Both sent a fist toward Itaru's face, but Itaru quickly reacted by snatching both their wrists, and pushing more chakra into his feet to be able to keep himself vertical upon the tree with their weight added, and he violently trust them onto the ground with so much power they had disappeared into a puff of smoke upon impact. So, Itaru was getting closer.

The Stone Shinobi jumped back onto solid ground and took in a large inhale of the air around him. He pressed his palm against his knuckles, and cracked the knuckles on both hands. He was just about ready to give it another shot. This time he would stand and attempt a total of three Kage Bunshin. Until he was able to complete five affective shadow clones, he wasn't going to stop training, not for anything. Give the clone the exact same features as his own, give it its own supply of chakra, do this five times with one single move.

Koori had been doing rather well with the technique thus far and felt he was getting much much closer. He had already made the special handseal by crossing his index and middle fingers on both hands together. Koori focused deeply and finally projected his chakra forth. With a puff of white smoke, a clone appeared, and damn did it look good. Koori smiled as he commanded the clone to attempt to once again, mold chakra. Visibly, the clone had no defects that Koori could see, it really did look exactly like him, and to be honest, it was quite scary.

The clone, would now drop to one knee, and form chakra. Koori himself was low on chakra from attempting this technique so many times over and over again. For Koori, it did not matter. He was determined to complete this and move on. The clone focused chakra into his left hand as he toke a knee. Zeus's bolt would form within his clones hand. Success. He had managed to make a clone that could mold chakra, and use the techniques thereafter. The bolt, would be thrown at the tree, and a loud crack would be heard there after.

The clone would smile as it looked towards Koori, who smiled back, only to punch the clones straight in its face, making it disperse in yet another puff of white smoke. Crossing his fingers together to form a cross once more, Koori prepared himself for the Kage Bushin jutsu once more. He had managed to make on single clone that could produce chakra mold it and form it into techniques, but the scroll read that you should be able to create five shadow clones all at once. Having the basic knowledge to create one single clone would be the building block on which learning how to make multiple one would be built.

In order to make one clone, one must split thier chakra in half. So, in order to make multiple clones, one must divide their chakra per number of clones they wish to make. Sounded easy, but it probably would not be at all. Koori focused and itstead of splitting his chakra, he divided it. Hopefully, the out come would produce three clone, and himself, making four in total. With three poofs of white smoke, three clones appeared. Perfect. Now, he could make them vanish and try to go all out for the limit of the technique. Crossing his fingers, he would hop for the best as he watched them vanish before him

+10 (60/70) Almost there.
