Zeth basic training

((First of all can I learn a fourth release? That would put me at three elements and I believe that is the max in the show))

Mokuton: Shihai Tsurukasa (Vine Control)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to move vines around. The user directs the vines with conscious thought plus movement of the arms.
Special: Ram, Tiger, Snake
Drawback: Only capable of controlling vines within 50 meters. She must be able to see the vines to place them under her control.
Description: The user performs the handseals and vines within 50 feet that she can see come under her control. She can move them within her fifty meter circle, but if they move out of the fifty meters, then the vines stop moving and become limp. These vines are not capable of strangling or effectively constricting an opponent, however, they can be used to trip or catch incoming projectiles, or, if the user so desires, could be an effective shield if the vines were to form a sort of wall.
Limit: Mokuton no Jutsu

I enter out into the woods just about when it is almost dark. I take a seat on a log and begin contemplating my approach on learning this technique. It is key component to a strategy I am developing. After about 10 minutes of idle thought I obtain an idea that it is much like a puppet master technique with chakra strings. However, the chakra of the plants would be better attuned to mine than that of a dead material. I look around for smaller sized vines spotting one about a half inch thick and 4 and a half feet long.

I stand up and focus chakra into my hands hoping it will be easier to control it if I begin within a close range. I place my hands about 3 inches from the vine and imagine my chakra wrapping around it and seeping in. I begin to try to pull the vine towards my chakra with my mind. I spend a few hours on this with out any success. I sit back down disappointed.

I realize how much easier this would be if I brought a mentor. I put my mind to work and decide that my first concept must have been incorrect, or at least for my mental build it was. I lie down and begin to think. I spend about 20 minutes like this, until I recall the motion segment of the brain located somewhere in the rear of the skull. I remembered from academy while learning about genjutsu. Even though I didn't practice it at all I guess sitting in class payed off.

I calm my mind and stare at the vine for about 5 minutes getting comfortable. After I am calmed I decide to seep my chakra into the vine. I continue looking at it as if it were attached to me physically. I swear I feel the wind off of the vine. At that moment I understand why anyone would need to learn other jutsus to control different materials. I look at the vine and try to make it move, in the same manner as if I were completely relaxed telling my mind to move my arm while it was relaxed. I remember doing this when I was kid, with my arm that is. I look at the vine and spend about 30 minutes getting just small twitches from the vine. I was so excited the first time it happened I almost lost my focus.

I stop and think about the experiences directly liked with movements. I realize that this is supposed to feel second nature if I were doing it as a single action, easier than riding a bike. But, I would have to get my mind used to thinking of a vine as a part of my body. I notice that the difference in time between my 2 practice methods was great. Now I know I am going in the right direction. I decide to take a small nap help me calm down and get rid of some of the late night neck pains that come from staying up too late. It was probably about 11 at night by now.


((Please tell me if I did this wrong it was my first time trying to learn a technique outside of my history))

So now you are 10/30 good job.

You are Ninjutsu Master, you can learn all the releases. ^_^ But remember this isn't Cannon, so don't base things off the show. Check up on the specialists thread in the Character Submissions. It talks about NinMasters.

((Okay thank you, That's cool I must have missed that part. I didn't expect to hit ten points in one post.))

Around 4 in the morning I awake I shake off my sleep and shortly realize that wasn't my plan when I went to sleep. I was going to use my tired confused body to trick my body to be easily relaxed but that could no longer be the case. I lie back down until I feel half asleep again.I look over at the thin vine I was using earlier. This time not even trying to get close to it. I begin to make it twitch this time from a much farther distance. This goes for about thirty minutes. At which point I imagine I feel a bug crawl across the back of the vine, until I see it crawl across.

Things seem to slow down and get more peaceful, it feels like the vine is moving. However, I do not bother to look at it anymore just base it completely off of feeling. I roll my head over and see the vine dancing around just as I felt it. However at this point It wouldn't be of any use to me in combat. Mostly because it takes me so much time to become in sync with the vine and also because I need to be completely relaxed. I sit up and the vines movements become more twitchy and less smooth. I am still completely relaxed but I was beginning to add simple movements to it.

At this point the practice is completely invigorating me. I become so excited that I can even imagine to have control over a vine. I take a break and do a few simple workouts. Just to break my relaxation. I spend about 10 minutes running around in circles in the woods. I do about 200 push-ups and decide I am definitely not relaxed anymore. I look at the vine panting and make it do really basic movements. The movements get more normal and smooth as I begin to reach normal activity. I am still under stress between my physical instant depletion and my mental focus. I think that I almost have it completely down.

It still takes me too long to focus on the vine and control it. If I needed it in a battle it would definitely fail. I need to be able to attach the infuse my chakra and feel the vine quickly enough under mental stress.

I start to get frustrated my training shouldn't have entered a second day for such a simple jutsu. Especially since I have it figured out. I decide the only way to make this more realistic and put me under stress. I duplicate myself using Mizu bunshin. "I need you to attack me while I work on this technique." "Understood." I gave no hint to the level of aggression I would prefer. My clone charges the few feet towards me. I decide that I cannot attack him or he'll completely stop for a few moments. And I also realize that all of his attacks will pass through me. I body flicker out of his way, trying to make this seem as real to me as possible.

If I plan to win the only move I will allow myself to use is Shihai Tsurukasa. Now a few feet in front of my clone I reach out for a vine but all of its movements are short and robotic. I knew that this would happen. The clone runs up and throws a punch that I duck. I am now completely frustrated with the battle. I hop to the left to avoid any of his attacks that may follow I close my eyes for about one second and attach myself to a nearby vine about 3 feet away. My clone turns to the side and follows through with a punch and I go to throw a vine around him. It is still unsuccessful and again it makes short robotic movements.

Having about half a second to dodge his attacks after my eyes were open I hop to the left, and hit my head on tree. He misses me however. I jump up onto the tree branch I just landed my head on, and then continue to jump all the way to the top of the tree next to me. I put my hands together and focus my chakra into the back of my head for about 2 seconds until my clone follows me. He gets on top of the tree the same way I did. I jump back down and look at a vine hanging from the same tree. I look at it quickly and try to smack it across the face of my clone. It doesn't work however the vine lifts about 2 feet into the air. Just a foot below his feet.

I drop the vine as my clone jumps down at me. He lands right in front of me I jump back onto the tree trunk behind me and continue by jumping over him. This consistent need to dodge is very frustrating. That was the exact reason I did it though. I land about 6 feet behin him on my feet. I look at the vine I lifted just a second ago. I lift the vine again as I turn around. I see my clone turning around and running towards me. I jump back wards behind the hanging vine and in front of a tree. My clone charges at me I try to wrap the vine around his neck, it would be more difficult than lifting it but I feel that I am so close to learning it.

23/30 pm a link next time

((Sorry it was most recent until right after I sent the PM. I PM'ed you a link right after.))

The vine moves up a little and is pushed away by my clones body. It was almost irritating I couldn't even do ay harm to a mist clone. His arm hits my shoulder and slides across. I feel the misty arm, almost cold. I drop forward and quick off the tree just to the left of my clone. I land about 5 feet to his left and I dart through a dirt pathway. I jump behind a tree and start shaking a vine around in the tree. The stress I am placing on myself acting as though my clone is real, is really making it difficult. I focus on the vine and it starts twitching. The movements get more fluid but I stop the moment I hear my clone.

My clone steps on a branch abut 5 feet away from me. I look at him and jump up into my tree. He stops looks around and unexpectedly jumps up towards me. I jump over him into a tree on the other side and land on the side of it hanging by a vine. He turns around and charges me I backflip over him and run into the heavy forest behind him. I get an idea of what to do, about my vine control that is. I look at a vine located just a few feet away from me and imagine it with it's own chakra control system. I link into an try to whip it at my clone the moment he comes by.

It throws in the opposite direction but the movement was massive. I try again, my clone now just a few feet away.

I try again it gets much closer. The vine swings down by his feet making him fall. I was aiming for his face. His feet fall apart and then re-sync. He jumps back and runs at me. I hop to the left just dodging his attack as he flies past me. Luckily I have enough chakra for this kind of training. However being on the receiving end not even trying to deal damage isn't helping. I jump back over to the and attempt it the same way.

I aim an attack at my clones head just missing him and attacking his chest, passing through it as usual. He repairs and charges at me. I jump forward to his right. I land and turn around. We both changed places. I throw the vine at him again, excited at being so close to mastering the technique.

[adero]

I really think thats only worth 1... add it tho...

[»Omni»]

((Thank you))

The vine smacks him across the face. I am excited that I finally got it however I am kind of tired.I start to walk back to the village when I see a sign for a forming team. I go home and clean up. I throw some clothes on quickly and head out.

0/10

I walk out into the woods again this time more around noon. I sit on my log from earlier, I might as well as make this my permanent peace place. This technique I imagine is more of a pulse of chakra kind of deal. I stand up and look at my hand, followed by the ground. I concentrate chakra into my hand, store it there and hold it for a second. I place my hand on the ground and release my chakra.

I see the ground make waves but nothing special. I sit back down to think and decide that I have to force my chakra out instead of just letting it slide through. I place my hand on the ground and store up chakra. Imagining that I look like a fool I charge a decent amount of chakra, what I think I need for this technique, and I do it quickly. I hold it in my hand contemplating how to force it out quickly. I hold the chakr all in one spot in the middle of my palm and hold a part where it won't pass forcing it every way except for the center.

I make a sort of wall in my wrist and snap it forward forcing all the chakra out. A few rocks around my arm break and bits of dust and pebbles are knocked away. I need to push the chakra flatter and farther. I put my hand on the ground this time making the barrier in my palm thiner and wider. (It's not really a barrier I am just focussing on not letting the chakra flow that way.) I force the chakra out and rocks around fall and collapse. The rocks quake for about 5 feet around me. "I guess I underestimated the chakra needed for this"

I hold some chakra in my hand, a lot more than before. Not a crazy amount for the technique just my new estimate on what will be needed. I place my arm down again and force it outwards.

You're a D ranked Ninja so C ranks are 30 points.

((Okay))

My barrier breaks and just results in nearby earth shifting from it's previously displaced position. I get back up and walk a few feet over just so that I can work on new fresher ground. I place my hand on the ground and force a bit of chakra into the area I want to affect. I then imagine my with a hole in the middle sucking it all up in an instant. The outer areas weren't affect put the rest of it contract in a second and instantly fell apart. It looked like what I wanted to happen but my method didn't make it happen wide enough to be useful, or quick enough either.

I think I have to put more into it than that. I assume it is a combination of the two methods I have tried. I put my hands on the ground and practice the first method for a while. I get to the point where affects the entire area but not as violently as it should have. I do the second method few times and realize that the effect radius can not go that far no matter how hard it is pushed. I walk over to my log and sit to think. I think for about 30 minutes and finally come up with an idea.

I try the combination method first and that just results in a deep inner ring. So the first method wouldn't work even with combination. I take it a little further an imagine it as a circle with 8 even segments. I imagine if chakra is flowing out ward and inward against itself it would cause violent spins in the rocks. I put my hand on the ground and put the chakra into 4 alternating segments leaving 1 between them all. I put a little chakra into them and prepare some chakra in my hands for the other four segments.

I force the chakra out while sucking the rest of the chakra in. And then reverse it to suck in the remaining chakra and force chakra out into the remaining segments. I then suck all the chakra remaining back.

((If I learned it I'll post success if not I'll post me trying it a few more times and adding different ideas, if I can think of any)

[Kuro]

Add it.

Sorry not gonna be on much longer to spar.

[»Omni»]

((Okay thank you anyways though))

The rocks violently spin and collapse into the ground as well as push others upwards. "That was tougher than expected." The whole process only took about a second but was forceful with chakra.

I take a short nap out in the woods, by my training area. What a great way to get mugged. That would be if I wasn't close enough to the sound village to feel completely safe. I walk deeper out into the woods looking for a lake. I finally find one and decide it is good enough for me to learn water techniques on. I reach into my pocket and pull out a note I wrote before I came out here. "Dragon Horse Ram" is written on it. They are the hand signs for the technique I am going to try. I put the piece of paper back into my pocket and place my hands together.

"Dragon Horse Ram" I say quietly as I make the hand signs. I hold onto the Ram seal and focus on the water. I imagine it rising into the air as small vapors. only a few follow my mind into the air forming a very thin cloud of vapor and chakra. I hold it up there as I try to push more up there. However I soon find it difficult to hold each particle individually and pull more up. I push the thin cloud over the water and let it drop. making small rain particle as they bonded together. I watch them ripple in the water for about 4 seconds until its stops.

I lie down on the ground and look at the clouds. I notice that they all have no particular shape. As if they are floating alone, using just the suns energy to be held in place. I try again this time using my chakra to hold the vapor in the air like wide strings allowing it to form freely. I have my chakra floating just over each inch of water my cloud forms thicker. It just barely makes it to the point where I cannot see through it any more. At that point the cloud s just wide enough I cannot focus anymore chakra over it. That limits me to this size. I realize the amount of chakra that goes into this will be difficult to control. This is my limit point at the moment.

With a cloud hardly fit to produce rain I roll it over the lake and slowly reduce the chakra above it. This makes a decently long lasting rain but it's not heavy or fast just a nice steady sprinkle. I decide that the next time I try it I will definitely get it but I was getting quite tired of this constant training and napping so I decided to head to the village and get some food. I turn around and walk back the way I came. Nothing was happening today so I had all the time in the world at the moment.

I reach the gates and walk home, first thing I do is eat a decent sized dinner.
