To Reclaim a Clan's Honor (Training)

[Aaron: The Bee Master]

Tsuchi funshutsu no Jutsu (Earth spewingTechnique)
Rank: ed “C” bas
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user takes a deep breath then spits out earth from his/her body, this can be used as a source for other jutsu or it can be used as a projectile.
Special: Bird, dragon, snake, tiger, ram, horse
Drawback: N/A
Description: The user holds the dragon seal and takes a deep breath expanding his rib cage but instead of oxygen, earth is exhaled. He will only spit out half his body weight of earth then the chakra from his body will then increase the mass according to the level of the jutsu. For this reason it is generally used to create earth where there is none, to allow the ninja to use other earth based jutsu. The earth is in a form of liquefied mud though after a few seconds of being in the open atmosphere it will harden into a natural, solid soil. The radius, speed and the amount of damage of earth varies at each rank. E rank = Half your body mass. D rank = four meter. C rank = ten meters. B = twenty meters. A rank = thirty meters. S rank = Fifty meters
Limit: Needs the Earth Release

Pausing only for the sound of splitting stone to fade he continued, "How about making some more earth? It seems you turned most of it into stone in that crumpled mess," he said pointing to the huge holes in the ground and the massive pile of stone sitting on a ledge. "Now get to work," he said body flickering to the porch. Shouting he added, "Do a good job, and I'll show you a cool jutsu."

Aaron sighed. He hated grunt work. Forming the six specific hand seals he morphed his chakra, ending by holding the dragon seal as he took a deep breath. Air flooded into his lungs and his body. Remembering what happened in his prior attempts, he breathed in enough air to make himself lightheaded. His rib cage stretched in response to the furthest possible extent without causing bodily injury. As he exhaled the air, the handseals he formed originally along with the dragon seal he currently held would morph the air and chakra into a new creation, earth. Sixty two and a half pounds worth of earth would flow out of his mouth.

The earth tasted as foul as he remembered which is why he hated using this jutsu. Still it was a necessary evil. As the last of the earth flowed out of his mouth Aaron relaxed. His shoulders loosened and his belly pushed outward slightly as he dropped the dragon seal. Before the mud could harden his chakra would increase the sixty two and a half pounds of earth into a fifteen meter radius. More than enough to fill the holes he had created this time and in prior visits. The dark brown coloring was a perfect shade for mud. He had done it. It was time to learn the next jutsu.

Yet it was only then that he realized his mistake. As the earth expanded into the massive field, it did not mean it all went into the holes only part of it did. He had in fact partially filled the hole and partially raised the ground level around him. It was as if he did nothing at all. Aaron swore tasting only earth on his tongue as the liquefied mud field hardened into normal soil, a sizable hole remaining.

Irritated Aaron quickly reformed the hand seals and held a flawless dragon seal. He would do it right this time. As his mind thought about perfection it quickly realized he had made yet another mistake. Due to his irritation his breath was not overly deep and the result was he ran out of air when only fifty pounds of mud had been exhaled. Quickly dropping the dragon seal Aaron gasped for air, spitting out some remaining mud as he went. Since his concentration was broken and the chakra flow ceased the mud simply pooled at his feet not expanding into a massive field.

He was right. A faint chuckle reached his ears. Taking a huge breath as he formed hand seals and held the dragon seal he turned to look at his master. His master's face was red with laughter. Irked, Aaron quickly started spitting in his master's direction. As the mud left his mouth it quickly hardened causing dozens of oddly shaped earth projectiles to fly towards his target. More and more flew outward as he kept spitting until he ran out of muddy earth. He shot out at least sixty projectiles in that one exhale or half his body weight in liquefied mud.

As he spat the projectiles Aaron watched to see how his master would react. Too many projectiles to be dodged, his master simply formed some hand seals and triggered an earth wall to deflect them. The projectiles flew into the wall with enough force to dent his shield, but they could not pierce it. Next time he would try to create even more projectiles that could pierce an earth wall. Even though he hated being laughed at his momentary flash of anger was over. His temper calmed down.

The earth shield protecting his master collapsed and as he stared at Aaron he said, "Those holes won't fill themselves. Back to work," he finished with a shooing motion of his hand. Aaron sighed. He hoped he would be finished with earth creation soon. As much fun as it was to hurl projectiles at his master, the aftertaste of mud and earth was awful. He would never get used to it.

Turning his attention to his half-finished job Aaron looked at the two massive holes he still needed to fill. One was almost there but the other looked empty and deep. He yawned. With little sleep these past couple days, perhaps he should not have been doing as much training as he was but such was life. His mind was clear and focused enough to finish this job. Aaron formed the hand seals and took a deep breath holding the dragon seal. As he exhaled mud came pooling out of his mouth and into the almost empty hole. Half his body weight would pour out and as it did so, bodily chakra would expand it but in a different way. Rather than create a horizontal field of earth he made it vertical filling the hole completely. He had enough earth left over to expand it to fill the other hole. The ground was more level than before. Dropping the hand seal Aaron took several breaths coughing up some earth that had hardened in his mouth and throat. He really needed to find a fix for that.

"Very good job," spoke the Doton sensei as he approached Aaron's right. Hands on his knees Aaron was breathing hard having exerted quite a bit of chakra. Covered in dirt, the master's eyes sparkled as he spoke. "Before I show you this jutsu, are you planning on attending the Chuunin Exams?"

Aaron darted a quick glance at his master. "Of course, why do you think I've been training?"

"Well..." he smiled as he paused, "did you know you need six missions to qualify?"

"Of cour..." Aaron's voice trailed off as he realized his flaw. "Umm, I'll be back," he spoke quickly turning to face the hill. In an instant he was gone.

"Have a good night. Your jutsu will be waiting until you get back," he shouted at Aaron's back. "Ah youth," he muttered watching the dust trail Aaron kicked up. "Best of luck kid."

Aaron swore as the moon already hit its zenith. How could he forget to do the missions. The adrenaline of forgetting the missions soon wore off and the extended chakra and activity the past few nights hit him like a ton of bricks. Soon he could barely walk with still a third of the mountain to travel. Sighing he simply dropped next to a tree along the road and fell asleep until dawn's rays and mocking birds awoke him.

Groggy he could not clear his head until it suddenly dawned on him that he needed to do missions. Like morning dew melted away by the sun Aaron's foggy head cleared as he headed for the Kage Tower. He needed missions and fast.

Aaron had done it in record time, shot through two missions fulfilling the Chuunin exam requirements. It felt good and with a new Kamizuru scroll too. With it in hand he wandered up the mountain to the Doton sensei's shack. He didn't feel like going to Meikei right now.

Dawn's morning rays shone on his face, blinding him for a moment as he lifted up his cowl. He climbed the mountain like it was nothing, a weight was off his shoulder. He had training to do to be the best. With the bees as his support he would crush all in his way to the top.

There was no one home when he arrived. Knocking several times and surveying the area it was deserted. No matter. He had a scroll to learn from. "Don't!" shouted the bees as he was going to break the seal. "Your not strong enough yet." Aaron sighed. He knew retrieving this scroll was too good to be true. But what was he to do?

Placing the scroll down Aaron surveyed the house, spying another scroll resting behind a pillar. Curious he opened it revealing a note and unraveling further a jutsu. "Something came up. Learn these. Best of luck at the Exams." Aaron unfurled the scroll further to see:

Well it was something. Determined to train he would train. Yet a lack of rain had left the ground parched denying him the mud he needed. Fortunately, he new an easy remedy and formed seals creating a 10 x 10 meter mud field eleven meters away from him. With a smile he would begin the mud just at his feet.

The wind blew back his hood as he formed four easy hand seals. Saying each seal as he formed them he flowed chakra into the mud bringing it to life. Like a sculptor he would cause four piles of mud to rise up and form into a mirror image of himself. The clones would take shape, the legs forming first and working his way up to the detailed head. As the clones grew more magnificent Aaron cut the chakra flow ready to unveil his four clones to the world. Yet they were not finished after all. As Aaron looked in horror they began wilting away like melted ice cream. Mud droplets fell down them as they ran. The leg supports wilted and collapsed, mud oozing down over itself flowing back into the field.

He would do it again. "Dog, rat, boar, ox," Aaron said quickly forming each seal flowing life giving chakra to the mud clones. Faster this time four creations would rise up, but two looked nothing like him. Sighing he cut the chakra flow but this time the clones stayed standing. A frustrated shout escaped him, as it was not what he wanted. Throwing a Kunai at the clone it absorbed the hit surviving. Sighing he threw a shuriken as well. This time the clone oozed mud and collapsed, defeated. Two hits seemed to destroy it. Now how was he going to retrieve the weaponry? Aaron swore at not thinking far enough ahead.

Another sigh escaped as he would trudge in the mud retrieving the weaponry. Up to his ankles in gunk Aaron would simply stand there and form the clones again. Concentrating with full willpower on the chakra shape and flow as he formed the seals he called forth the clones, five emerging as the existing clones collapsed without their master's support. Much better. The five clones actually looked like him, expressionless but muddy eyebrows arched as if frustrated. "A neat trick," he muttered as he walked around them. They looked good, solid, self-sustaining. He had mastered form but not quantity as he walked away and reviewed the scroll. It said he should be able to make eight clones.

Several quick practices of his Needles of the Winds left the clones oozing into oblivion to rejoin the mud at his feet. As he wiggled his toes the mud made squishing noises between them. He'd need to wash his sandals after this. Pouring more chakra into his hand seals Aaron would force the mud into eight identical clones shaped like an octagon. Each stood ready and willing to obey their master's instructions. Aaron felt like Dr. Frankenstein as he looked at them. He had brought them to life. The five former creations, unsustainable when he created the new clones collapsed.

[Aaron: The Bee Master]

With the new clones at command Aaron finished admiring his handiwork and got down to the practical aspect. What could they do? Having them break into pairs of two and face each other, Aaron jumped up on a post to get a better view. The sun beat down scorching the landscape as the wind died. Deciding to get a drink he left the clones at attention facing each other. Retrieving the key from under a pot, Aaron let himself into his master's abode. By the time he got himself lemonade and a bite to eat, over an hour had passed leaving the clones exposed, motionless to the cruelty of the sun. Baked images of Aaron stood standing, brittle as he approached. His slight push knocked a clone to the ground shattering it. Fortunately, the mud field itself was mostly unaffected given the quantity of mud present.

Reforming the hand seals Aaron called forth more clones. This time mud swirled about bringing forth eight replicas indistinguishable from Aaron. With formation complete Aaron again had them pair off and assumed his position on the post. Annoyed, the clones mirrored his look as he told the first pair to fight each other. They obeyed arms and legs flying. He directed one clone to punch and the other to block watching them interact. He gave orders to both watching how they reacted. The clones were quick, jabbing and blocking each other. Finally Aaron told the one clone to simply dodge and the other to attack until the other was destroyed. Aaron watched them interact until a few minutes later the clone succumbed to a double blow and turned into a muddy pile breaking the illusion. Aaron nodded.

Having the surviving clone stand at attention, Aaron turned to the next pair where he ordered both to form a specific set of hand seals. He doubted they could but wanted to make sure. No jutsu activated and Aaron sighed. It would have been too much to hope for that a simple mud clone could form jutsu. Still the more Aaron thought about it, he realized he could trick his opponent by having a clone mimic his hand seals. Battle strategies began to form as he moved on to the third pair of clones.

The third set of clones had a different task. Aaron changed how he felt and watched to see how it affected the clone. Posture and attitude seemed to subtly change. He didn't understand why, but it was cool. Aaron had the two clones make fools of themselves by doing handstands and running in circles. He tested to see endurance. They could last a long time he thought as he felt his chakra draining. Deciding to rap things up, he decided to have the last pair of clones join the others. All his still standing clones were told to gather up all the baked clones into a massive pile and restore the landscape. It seemed the baked clones were heavy for the clones by themselves could not carry one. It took two clones working together to actually move it. Surprised Aaron tried lifting the final baked clone from earlier only to discover it was heavy. He could barely lift it off the ground. It felt like it weighed the same as him. Although he was thin, he guessed he weighed more than he thought. With cleanup accomplished and almost everything he needed from the clones finished, he would disband them retreating inside the shack.

He would emerge only moments later with another glass of lemonade. Looking at the note again he tried unfurling the scroll further and to his surprise it opened further revealing another jutsu called Mud Overturn. Now this was a good jutsu for the Chuunin Exam, another type of defense.

With several deep breaths to steady himself and a self-assessment of his chakra, he was ready to begin. Setting the glass down he jumped onto the pile of baked mud clones, lifting him several feet into the air. He had a good view of his landscape, the mud hardening to a semi-mud state. One more breath and Aaron began forming the hand signs. His position held a great view but was not the greatest for this jutsu. His hands charged into the mud corpses and forced up the earth in a shield like shape. The clones shattered underneath his pressure but given his height above the ground, he could not reach enough earth to make a formidable shield. The earth rose a few inches off the ground directly in front of him, but it would not hold.

Cutting the chakra flow the earth collapsed slightly. A child could break his shield if one were to call it that. It was like a child thinking his makeshift wall could stop a bucket of water coming at it, completely ineffective. Aaron had no choice but to hop down and stand on the ground. He needed to take it seriously. Reforming the hand signs Aaron slammed his hands hard against the ground, careful not to damage the shock glove. With chakra flowing through his body and into the earth Aaron called forth a wall in front of him. Like a minstrel playing an instrument the earth danced to his tune and shot upward a couple feet high. It was an improvement.

Releasing his hands from the earth he watched the wall collapse again, the soft semi-fluid mud sliding down to ground level. It appeared height had nothing to do with its collapse. Analyzing what he had done he realized the hand signs were correct, chakra was mostly correct so that left structure and form? Was that it? Returning to the parchment he looked at it for any insight it could provide. Minutes passed as he thought it through. Finally after intense focus he was hit with inspiration. He knew what must be done.

A warm breeze blew his hair about his head as he reformed the hand seals. His mistake had been in neglecting the knowledge he had gained in Doton Soushi no Jutsu and in his chakra flow. As his hands plunged into the fluid earth, slimy and slick he increased his chakra flow and tried to harden the earth with it. More earth was enveloped and in a massive push a five foot shield would emerge ten meters away. Removing his hands he waited to see what would happen. The very top collapsed slightly but the rest remained standing. Using his chakra the mud had turned a bit harder, now capable of blocking attacks. He would rest for a moment and plan out his next move.

[Aaron: The Bee Master]

(?? / 20)

Forming the hand signs again, he would make another wall as he pushed his hands deep into the earth raising a thin and narrow but tall wall in front of him. About three feet wide it would shoot up five meters into the air. It completely blocked his line of sight and no doubt would block projectiles that were flying at him. The entire wall remained standing as he kept at it. On his next attempt he'd focus on creating a wall ten meters wide in a semi-circle around him, six feet tall, two feet in front of him. It was another success. Aaron smiled as he hopped backward to look at his work. He had several creations now standing, each self-sustaining. He was pleased with his progress.

The next step was to test his walls. Forcing chakra into his shock glove he punched the long wall he had in front of him. It cracked but did not give way. He punched it over and over until finaly it crumbled. Aaron nodded satisfied. It was not enough however. He moved to the tall and thin wall where one punch brought it down. It took even less effort to bring down his first successful wall. His shield still needed work.

By now, night had fallen and Aaron's chakra reserves were running low. He had time for one more attempt. Flawlessly performing the hand signs he plunged his hands into the warm, muddy earth. Exerting most of his remaining chakra he would create the biggest wall he could at the moment. The chakra poured from his arms into the earth and created a massive wall twenty five meters wide inches away from him. The earth shot upwards guarding like a true wall but without the beauty. The unshaven rock was thick with indents from the violent force used to exert it up out of the ground. It looked like a formidable shield.

Physically and mentally exhausted Aaron hopped over his wall which partially dangled off the edge. Parts crumbled and fell off with no support underneath but the rest of the wall looked sturdy. Retreating inside the shack he went to sleep not to emerge until dawn the next day. When the first of the sun's rays hit his eyes, Aaron hopped out of bed and went outside to see his wall mostly standing. In his sleep it had lost a bit in the top but had made a good wind breaker. Looking down the mountain he saw several trees had fallen. He hadn't even heard the wind last night.

Aaron formed the seals to bring forth several mud clones. He would watch as the three clones attacked the wall diligently with their fists and feet. Their physical power was not enough. Aaron smiled as he disbanded them. He had done enough with his shield for now. Aaron would hop on top of it and in a semi-smooth spot sit to watch as the sun rose. He may or may not practice the jutsu again but for now he would watch the sun finish rising.

When the sun had risen, Aaron resumed his training. He felt he should try the Mud Overturn just a bit more. Forming the hand signs while yawning he plunged his still filthy hands into the earth. His bed would probably need a bath as well. Wasting no more time he called forth another wall to intersect with the wall he had already created to make a massive X like a Pirate's treasure spot. The wall would rise up vertical to him but hit a snag when it tried rising where the wall already stood. As he tried making the wall a massive creation the entire wall would not even form as part of it could not pierce the other wall already standing.

Aaron would try an alternative plan. He formed the hand seals and plunged his hands into the earth making an uneven wall thicker than before that stopped at his first wall. Then forming the hand signs again, though he could not see the earth he could sense it using his knowledge of Rock Creation, he plunged his hands deep down. Chakra flowed outward under the walls and enveloped the earth thirty meters out. There he forced it upward finishing his X. Satisfied Aaron jumped kicked up the wall and plunged his foot downward fulfilling the Ryuujin Kyaku. The wall showed signs of crumbling but remained standing. Aaron smiled, pleased with his accomplishment.

For a better view from the cliff face, Aaron balanced himself carefully on a solid piece of his high wall and peered at the village below. He could see the Kage Spire, the Hospital and something else, something odd...

Aaron could not place it but it looked like something was moving along the buildings. For him to even be able to see anything from his distance meant something was up. Releasing a swarm of bees he would wait to see what they told him.

A while passed and Aaron had an idea of what was going on when his bees shared their information. A crazy colorful unknown bird was hopping on buildings, doing some damage. It looked like a battle was under way. Aaron nodded his head at the suggestive thought of his bees. He would go for a closer view. His training would have to wait.

Returning to his master's shack, a bit exhausted from his rush he would need to hurry. A bit annoyed he had to leave the peacock attack, his master was still nowhere in sight. With the house to himself Aaron would enter quickly and don a new robe, sweat and mud free. As he finished changing he realized he had never actually seen the rear of the shack. As he left the bedroom he had slept in on the left and the kitchen on the right, he passed another bedroom coming to a sealed door at the end of the hall. Needing to hurry but still curious he twisted the knob. Unwilling to budge Aaron turned the handle and then pushed with substantial force knocking the door open. Fortunately the door did not break. In the expansive room within, a room larger than the shack should hold, lay bookcase after bookcase loaded with scrolls and books. A smiled crossed his face as he looked around, thoughts about the exam temporarily forgotten.

Trespassing he knew but he had been here enough he was sure the master would not mind. Borrowing one of the books he opened it and saw jutsu after jutsu, each listed on its own page. Amazed Aaron flipped through it revealing fire jutsus. He had learned the basics of fire control but never actually endured training for it. As he read the jutsus his eyes fell across one he must learn immediately and had practical purposes for the exam:

Katon: Hibashiri: (Fire Element: Racing Fire)
Rank: "C", "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Fire technique in which the user shoots out two streams of fire along each side of the user towards a group of enemies in which encircles around the enemy creating a wall of fire.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The user first performs the handseals that they need. Then they slam their hands together as the user concentrates along the heat around them. Focusing their chakra, two streams of fire is launched from the user, one along the left, and another along the right. These streams shoot off towards multiple enemies. The user is capable of creating streams of fire within the distance of fifty meters, encircling enemies within twenty meter radius. The fire is two meters in width as the height reaches up to five meters in the air as it spins violently trapping those within. This type of fire is used as a encasing Jutsu, capable of trapping the opponents inside using intensive heat for the enemy. This type of fire when first learned the user is capable of just encircling the enemies as the speed of the fire entraps the enemies within. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique the user is capable of enclosing the Fire to burn the enemies within a ring of fire as it comes to a close. This process takes one turn to do. This technique is also capable of being used to shoot out a ring of fire towards the opponents if the user wishes.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Returning outside with the book and several others including one called, "Jutsus of Jo'Din," the books were stacked in a corner as he looked for a place to train. Other than the shack, the immediate area was barren leaving little foliage to catch fire and burn. With the risks low, Aaron knew what to do. Forming hand seals he called forth two mud clones, three meters apart and twenty meters in front of him. He stepped forward, off the porch of the shack lest the house catch fire in his attempt.

Only a couple hand seals were required and they were the easy ones. It was no trouble for Aaron to try the hand signs once without chakra to get them down. Afraid of burning himself, he needed to make sure he could form the jutsu properly at the beginning lest he catch himself on fire. His look of determination was mirrored in his clones as he began forming the seals. Slamming his hands together he sent chakra outward yet no flame came.

Aaron wondered what was wrong. He tried yet again but still no flame came. He merely wasted chakra. With no choice he turned back to the book. Moments later he understood. Flame was a different element. He knew the release but no jutsu so he never actually practiced fire in form. Aaron would take another crack at the jutsu. Simple hand seals Aaron would focus his chakra making it explosive. Rock was hard and sturdy but fire was powerful and forceful. Aggressively forcing chakra outward he changed it into a burning heat shooting outward. From his left and right a fire would shoot out, travel a few meters and fizzle. At least he had the concept if not the practical aspect.

Aaron tried once again. Forming the seals he clapped his hands together perpendicular to each other and blasted out chakra in a powerful force. Fire raged forward to his left and right traveling about fifteen meters before dying. Perhaps not enough chakra? Aaron took a deep breath his clones looking frustrated. Mirror reflections of himself Aaron did not like their look. He would keep at it. Stretching out to the sun high overhead, he brought his hands together in a rush forming the seals and slamming them together. A fire raged out fifty meters like the remains of a drag racer's flame. They did not form a circle however. Aaron sighed.

Looking at the sun as it beat down on him he wondered. The sun held power warming the earth. How did it work? As Aaron contemplated it he formed the hand seals and clapped his hands together. Almost without thinking his chakra rushed out causing two intense lines of small flame to shoot out and form a circle, each line converging to form half the circle. Aaron had done it without realizing it. As he looked at his fire it died.

[Aaron: The Bee Master]

(?? / 20)

His clones still stood the circle of fire focused to the left of them. Aaron would need to keep at it. Forming the hand seals he thought about fire, in small does it was a nurturer or with malice a dangerous weapon. Aaron concentrated as he pushed his hands together causing sparks to burst forth as two one meter wide flames raced out about fifteen meters and formed a massive circle of fire a foot high. Aaron fed more chakra to it and watched as it grew slightly bigger before dying out. It had appeared to the right of his clones this time. He was not good at aiming yet.

Aaron looked at the ground to see scorch marks engraved into the earth. It was as if he had carved lines with charcoal. The lines were straight before suddenly curving into circles. As his attempts at racing fire increased so too did the number of lines until he had formed crop circles in his master's field. He wondered what an aerial view of the design looked like. No matter, he would keep attempting the jutsu until it was perfected.

Looking at the twin clones standing ahead of him Aaron knew he could do it. If determination wasn't enough, time was running out before the Chuunin exams. He would have to master it now. Forming the seals he focused his chakra and in one slam forced flames outward spinning into a circle around them. Deep scorch marks formed as the wind blew his robe into the racing fire. Breaking the seals and chakra Aaron bent down and pelted the base of his robe with his sleeves trying to snuff the flames. Using dust and dirt he flung it on the robe until finally the fire burnt out doing no harm to him but leaving the robe a mess. Aaron sighed. Why whenever he tried to perfect a technique that was when everything went to hell?

Aaron would take a breath, look at his robe and look at his clones. They were starting to harden. Once again careful of his sleeves as he formed the seals and making sure the wind would not factor in he pushed a greater amount of chakra outward creating a blazing flame a meter thick that raced into a circle growing to two meters. The flame stretched five meters into the air. It was an impressive sight as it surrounded both clones finally. The flames danced of their own accord now spinning faster and faster creating a fire whirlwind that the clones could not escape. Soon they would be baked models. Satisfied, Aaron decided it was time for a drink. Fire had caused him to sweat. As he wished he could change, he realized he lacked the time. It was time to leave.
Grabbing several of the books and scrolls he would head down the mountain and towards the gate. Perhaps he could train on the way.

Well since we now have a dual TP and RP thread allowance. My TP thread:
(Taking place sometime after I visited the Kage and she wasn't home)

Name: Daihachi Senbon (Greater Bee Stinger)
Rank: b, A (90 / 100 due to time skip), s
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The bees fire poisonous stingers at the opponent causing disorientation and other symptoms
Special: Hand Seals
Drawback: Stingers affect anyone in their path, friend or foe including the user if they do not know Doku Gaman
Description: The user forms the hand seals, pushing his chakra into the bees surrounding him. The bees then shoot their stingers at the opponent like senbon. If struck by the stingers, the opponent will be poisoned as follows:
- B-Rank: Dozens of bees fire stingers triggering wooziness and disorientation for 4 Rounds. Hand seal speeds reduced by a quarter
- A-Rank: Up to a hundred bees fire stingers causing disorientation and mild numbness for 5 Rounds. Hand seal speeds are reduced in half.
- S-Rank: Bees numbering not less than 150 on the field can fire stingers causing complete body numbness and paralysis for 6 rounds. The opponent will collapse unable to move or speak.
Chakra consumption is dependent on number of bees firing stingers. The more Bees that fire, the greater the chakra usage. Firing the stinger from every bee a Kamizuru posessess' would deplete almost an entire chakra supply.

So Aaron was back in stone. Nostalgic to say the least, he had no time to waste. Training was called for for he had a jutsu still to master. Alone in the field he chose to call his training ground, he began by releasing a couple hundred bees. Their eagerness to help Aaron was evident. His target would be the wooden figures with small targets on their body's vital points.

He clearedhis mind and took several cleansing breaths. Setup in a greenhouse garden so his bees would be more comfortable, he was ready to begin. First, he had to manipulate the chakra. Sensing all the bees, he focused on a couple dozen at first surrounding them with chakra. Then directing them to face the target they fired dead on target, hitting what would be the jugulars. He could not test the poison toxicity as he personally didn't want to get poison himself or anyone he knew. Satisfied with the results, he expanded his chakra flow to encompass 50 bees. Guided by his commands the bees moved into a diamond formation stingers at the ready. Signaling with his chakra, they fired at once, fifty sharp but thin needles traveling together hitting the same target. Aimed at the eyes they had an almost 100% hit accuracy.

Satisfied with how the tail end of his training was going, he was ready to take it up to the next level. Activating a lever at the entrance of the greenhouse the dolls began to move back and forth and side to side, in a random pattern. Aaron did not try to figure out the pattern as that was not the point. He was aiming for accuracy at speed. Building his chakra as he formed the zodiac seals he acted, encompassing almost a full 100 bees now. The furthest target would be his victim. Having the bees fly around in sync to warm up and teest patterns, he guessed where the doll would move and gave a chakra signal to fire. The stingers with venom dripping out shot forward giving the dummy an acupuncture like treatment. Over half the needles hit but in a sporadic pattern. A couple hit the legs, a couple in the arms and the rest scattered about.

Dissatisfied Aaron recalled the bees to surround him. Making contact he gave new orders as he enveloped them with chakra. Directing 100 bees was not hard, it was getting them to aim at a moving target that was an issue. As the target moved back and forth Aaron readied his bees, having them fly around in a circular pattern. The bees moved lLike a machine gun barrel, shooting their stingers in a smaller circle than before. However, twelves of the bees did not fire. As the bees moved, he had enveloped some adidtional bees and lost the chakra control over the twelve he wanted to have fire.

Giving it one more try, Aaron built up his chakra as he made the plethora of required seals. Linking the 100 bees again and increasing his chakra to make sure he stayed focused on them, he had them move in a heart shaped synchronization. Giving the signal to fire, all 100 stingers shot off right as the door opened and someone jumped in front of the dummy, Unfortunately for him, Aaron finally had perfect accuracy and a heart shaped array of stingers pierced the boys flesh. Stumbling about he finally fell down, his body numbing due to the poison. “You know you shouldn't come in here,” said Aaron as he ran up to the boy. The boy shook his head, a letter in his hand. “Ah, I see,” said Aaron. Flipping through the contents he destroyed it when done. Then dragging the boy, he went outside turning him over to another nin nearby. “Do me a favor. Bring him to the hospital and when he wakes up tell him, 'Knock before entering.”

Aaron turned and left, leaving the boy there. His jutsu seemed to work well now. Was it enough though?
