(Training) The first Genin day

[koekje]

After graduating the previous day he was walking through the Sand Village. Only, he felt like people were looking at him differently than when he was just an academy student. He had returned to the Academy to take a good last look at it. Sitting ontop of one of the lower walls he looked down onto the students and smiled, remembering his time here. After a good ten minutes of remeniscing he kisses his right hand and lays it down on one of the walls, asking the academy to protect him. As he gets up, he jumps off the several feet high wall and searches for an ideal training spot, a place with sand, mud, a water well and some cacti.

"Well then, lets start with warming up."

He steps over to the well, uses the bucket to get water out of the well, grabs the bucket and steps with it near one of the cacti. When he gets here, he puts the bucket down, closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and relaxes. When he opens his eyes his hands form several seals in a slow but steady pace to make sure he doesn't screw up. When he finishes he can see fifteen shurikens made out of the water fly at the cactus. They embed themself in the cactus and melt a few seconds after that due to the intense sunlight and the nature of the shurikens. He throws one of his own shuriken, made out of metal, and throws it under the hit area of the water ones. He compares the mark of the two kinds of shuriken and sees that, although faster, the water ones still do less damage. He takes a drink of the bucket, spilling some on his face and clothes and the rest goes back into the well, together with the bucket.

After hearing the sound the bucket makes when hitting the water he steps over to the harder soil, a patch of dried earth without much sand on it. He puts his hand on the ground, and eventually it sinks in the earth. After a few minutes he pulls his hand up, together with a rock the size of his fist and laughs. He throws the rock away and folds his hands into some hand signs and then sink into the earth, using Dochuu Eigyo. As he moves inside the earth he can feel and see the places where he can't move, due to too much sand in the ground and almost swims a few laps before getting out via jumping out of the ground. Falling down while taking a breather he hears a voice from behind him. Turning around, he can hear the voice better.

what are you training o.o?

[koekje]

Jutsu in the whole, or if I have to choose just the suiton itself ?

[adero]

ehh, when training kindly quote the jutsu itself ^_^

[quote] Jutsu goes here[/quote]

[koekje]

Alrighty, that first one was just for the warm up. Now I'll get to training this jutsu (if I'm allowed at least) :

Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A simple technique used as a distraction in which the user uses a few hand seals concentrating along the chakra towards the ground. Doing so the user takes the chakra and the rocks as they use the simple knowledge of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) to push forth sending multiple small grape sized like pebbles towards the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending of the rank the user knows of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) depends on how much pebbles the user is capable of pushing forth.
Description: Small like stones is created along the ground in pebble like form as they are pushed up along the ground and sent flying towards the very enemy or enemies depending on the type of distance the enemy or where the enemy is standing. This type of attack is somewhat of a basic like attack and is to be considered more of an annoyance when first learned by the basic form of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique). When the user gains rank as well as Difficulty class of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) the technique of Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage) becomes even more grand and more dangerous.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, must have knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique)

When he turned around he could see a shinobi of the sand standing there, laughing at the young child. He stepped forward and rubbed Maiku's head.

"Well kid, it looks like you could use some help. And since I'm free for the moment I'll be doing so. Now then, this should be a basis for Doton jutsus. And this is going to be really fun to do if you want to annoy people. It's called Doton Tamaishi Danmaku, or basically, how to throw rocks at people without using your hands."

The shinobi, clearly Chuunin or Jounin level, folds his hands into just a few seals in a mere two seconds and suddenly several chunks of earth are flying over Maiku's head, through some of the cacti. Nudging Maiku to try it he slowly demonstrates the few hand seals required for the weak powered jutsu. Maiku gets up, dusts himself off a bit and then copies the seals the shinobi performed, a bit clumsily but succeeds anyways. Yet, nothing happens. Surprised he exerts more chakra and all of a sudden a small rock flies up and hits Maiku in his stomach. He moans while the shinobi starts laughing and tells him how to aim with the jutsu. Maiku forms the hand seals and just before he starts putting out chakra he focuses on the cactus standing a few feet away from him. A few drops of sweet slide down his cheeks as he has a spot of trouble but then several small pieces of dirt fly upwards, hitting the cactus. Most of them just splash open on impact while only one of the pieces strong enough is to scratch the cactus., ripping off a few needles. Smiling at the shinobi he tried again, and again, until the targeted cactus had several patches of dirt covering it. A quick cheer followed from the happy Maiku, as he's nearly jumping up and down of enjoyment.

"Too bad the ground here is softer, if you have good solid dirt then you can really annoy people, anyway, nicely done. It didn't take long to learn such a weak jutsu. Maybe now I'll get to show you something neat ?"

Ever ready at the Sandstone Academy of the Hidden Sand Village was the aspiring puppeteer Surya. He was a playful youth; one who usually spent most of his time creating quick and small inventions that caused his peers duress in times of shinobi trial. The low-ninja was twelve at the time, and was already a genius in crafting puppets. His father, Sarad, was a master craftsmen of both metal and mannequin; truly, the intellect of the Chinook courses through the veins of his young son. 




One day, the young Ningyoutsukai Surya found himself reading through numerous tomes of his father's that dealt with sealing puppets and other mundane constructs into scrolls. He would stumble across a maroon tome in the giant library, titled Kugutsu Kuchiyose; anxiously, he opened the book and with bright and hopeful eyes, he delve into the understanding of the Bbujiekuto Kuchiyose.  He would read quickly, almost at a scanning pace, the pages of the book and took in what he read with an alacritous mind: he was an inventor and a studious youth, despite his shenanigans displayed around his classmates. After he finished the small book, he placed it down and thought long and hard about a seal... that is when it occurred to him that most seals where placed on a hidden spot on a puppet; therefore, he went to retrieve a small puppet arm that he had been working on. It was about ten inches long and wiry; right now, it could function and close its hand freely. It even possessed a hidden knife compartment that would reveal itself maliciously to an opponent in lieu of the mechanically adjusting hand. His antics were known by many, but his schematics had been far scarcer than water in the deserts of Kaze no Kuni.

"Alright... here we go," he said, having decided on what sort of seal to use. It would be one he had read of during one of his Sanskrit lessons with Sarad. Growing up in the granule-laden wilds of the Wind Country placed the puppeteer near several locations that were exclusively Sanskrit: pyramids and other legendary mirage locations of Kaze Kuni. The seal would be the Sanskrit word for arm; bahu; बाहु. He would meticulously draw out the word in its native fashion on the prototype; it was a green ink used and it stood out boldly on the wooden puppet piece. He would turn and repeat the precious strokes of the language on the face of a scroll and place the brush aside. Now, he stood over his workplace and looked down through crystal lens; he had to push his glasses to the brow of his nose, having sweat a bit in this articulate endeavor. His chakra flourished from his inner reservoir and he was certain to learn this basic technique of Puppetry Ninjutsu. With several hand seals, the spiritual energy of Surya resonated with the seals placed on the arm and scroll; the green Sanskrit writing would flash in an emerald light as Surya moved his hand to shade his eyes; and in a plume of smoke, the arm was displaced inside of the scroll. He was anxious to witness the reverse of the kuchiyose, which is why he wished to learn this technique in the first place. To be able to store a puppet of any size into a scroll container is the ideal why for a shinobi to move about the land undetected. It would also allow him to hide his specialism in puppetry, another way to disguise his abilities.  He would furl the scroll back up with the Sanskrit script facing on the outside; another set of kata and the results would reverse: in a green flash of light, the arm had been displaced from the scroll back onto the table beside the maroon book. Surya smiled at his small accomplishment.

With an eager yearning to take care of each and every one of his puppets, Surya selected another small construct of his to work on. It was in its beginning stages, the rat puppet he was starting to create. With its wooden frame in tact, it could fit two slots worth of equipment: a kunai launcher and an afterburner system; this was a small puppet to be tailored to swift attacks using a kunai and Shunshin-installed mechanism. The young Sand ninja placed the puppet on the table and grabbed for his tools. He had a screwdriver and would apply it to a set of screws that fit around the kunai launcher located in the mouth of the vermin puppet. Once he unloosened the piece of equipment, he carefully wiggled it free from the wooden maw of the rat; then, he went on to install a marble launcher. It would be then capable, after totally reinstalling the screw pieces that fit around the mouth, of spewing several marbles from its maw and could cause an opponent to slip, as these would be released discreetly had he ever actually used this prototype in combat. Surya would apply his Chakra Ito and then manipulate the vermin; an application of his own chakra to activate the afterburner system of the rodent sent it whizzing through the library were he studied. With a quick and successful use of his right pinkie finger, he would apply just enough force to the mouth piece of the puppet to cause the marble launcher to activate. This would expel about ten marbles on to the hardwood floor of the vast library. Surya cast the puppet aside and went to collect each individual marble before reloading the launcher found in the mouth.

After a while, the young engineer decided to replace the marble launcher and afterburner system. He wanted an empty base to work on and would later come back to reinstall several pieces after finding them in his father's craft-shop. The afterburner system would prove much more difficult to remove from the puppet than the marble launcher --- he would have to nearly dissemble the entire construct to get to the artificial Shunshin system of the toy. This, while it was somewhat difficult, did not seem to bother Surya at the time. He was far too fascinated by the mere fact that he was working on puppets to be discouraged or angered in having to reconstruct his own craft. An artist's work endured through time and he had aspired to be a Sannin of the Hidden Sand. If he was to become such, then he would have to spend countless hours creating puppets tailored to missions that called for specific objectives. Surya, having finished removing the afterburner system, left the puppet open and rushed to the shop his father owned. It was about a block away from the home library of his family; he went to fetch a ballistic pouch cannon and an old surveillance system of his father's.

Upon his swift return, Surya went back to work exchanging the equipment parts of the prototype puppet. It was his inheritance to be considered a Ninja Puppeteer having been bred from a genius line of craftsmen hailing from Kaze no Kuni. He would set the surveillance system to the side for now while he worked on the ballistic pouch launcher in the puppet. 

The open husk of the rodent construct welcomed with a wooden embrace the metallic structure of the ballistic cannon. Surya had chosen to replace the afterburner system located in the main body of the puppet with this piece of equipment because of its release properties. Had his puppet gotten close enough to an opponent, then he could easily spring the contraption and have the puppet explode from the inside out to release its held pouch property. This was a diabolical scheme of his... to create things that seemed more harmless than they actually were. The Genin slowly fit the cannon on the cavity of the kugutsu and kept it open. Now, he had to install the surveillance-type equipment into the head section of the small rodent. With a steady hand, he took out the beady black eyes of the puppet and replaced them with a reddish-crystal visor. This would prove to be even more useful than an afterburner system or either one of the launchers that had been in the head piece initially.  A reason behind this was because of the small size of the puppet; it could move silently through environments and scan its proximity, thus becoming an ultimate gadget for stealth missions. Coupled with the pouch ballistic cannon, this puppet could now act as a sleuthing kamikaze. Surya laughed out loud, thinking of having it surprise his group of friends with a gooey explosion.

Removing, replacing and altering the framework of this small construct had not been difficult for the boy genius at all. Had it been perhaps a medium- or large-sized puppet, then he would have hours of work on his hands. But seeing as how small and simple most of these equipment exchanges had been, this entire task did not take longer than an hour's time for Surya. His nimble fingers could finesse a piece of equipment out of its slots smoothly; and if it couldn't, then the quick use of a smaller tool would prove to overwhelm whatever screw or attachment located on the kugutsu. While he had always dabbled in the tomes of his father Sarad, he invested most of his time studying in a real-time fashion. Whenever his father was creating a puppet, Surya would sneak into the laboratory and watch a master at work. The boy picked up on where to place certain pieces of equipment and how combinations could be used to utilize the main frame of the puppet. All at once, he realized the potential of these works of man----how they could be used in a near infinite fashion to produce whatever result the Ningyoutsukai wished. Right now, he had about four different schematics set out just for this rodent puppet, based on the factor of being capable of exchanging pieces of equipment on the frame in and out.
