The water felt good, at least..
Anotsu stood to his feet upon the surface once more, shaking the water from his facade before allowing his footsteps to carry him forward and away from the derigible once more. He would need as much space as possible to continue the training of the Water waves, noticing that every attempt would cause the boat to rock in a threatening manner. Of course, his kin most likely was impervious to the danger of their method of transportation tipping over, but those that resided elsewhere could only cower as they watched him practice the art of the Suiton release. The Waves appeared to hold no true substance to his control. In lieu of the application of his chakra, it would fall away all too quickly and cause him to be caught with the brunt force of the waves. Were he not careful, it would surely drag him under.
Perhaps if he could compact his chakra. The very technique would begin with him summoning forth the tenketsu to open yet again, his eyes narrowed as he stared at a central point for focus. The centripetal force of his attempt would be gathered at the core of his being in the moments it took him to summon the energy to control the element, thereafter slowly beginning to allow it to unfold. The energy swirled about his person until comfort was gathered, his tendrils yet again meeting each other at various intervals to form the required handseal to deliver the desired technique. They were easy enough to comprehend: few of them were truly a hinderance to the speed with which he could call upon the waves, the others following suit before his cerebral sent the message to his appendages to allow the chakra to flow toward his feet.
Anotsu's frame flinched only momentarily as the waves began to rise once more, the water beginning to increase its ebb and flow about his person. Somewhat easier since the last attempt, he merely grit his teeth as he thereafter spread the chakra into an even thinner layer along the water. Its rush eventually allowed the water to begin to ascend, yet its speed was mediocre compared to former attempts. Rather slowly did it birth itself unto the atmosphere, beginning to project itself forward against his own will. The failed wave thereafter would circle, before slamming into Anotsu's body and carrying him into the water with a torrent of liquid pressuring him to sink even deeper.
Apparently, even depths such as these had their consequences. His slightly beaten body swam to the surface as he held his breath, sighing in relief as he pulled himself up and over the threshold at the surface of the water. Chakra was pushing to various parts of his anatomy as he lay on his back, floating within the water for a time before expelling a small amount of water along the surface. The Uchiha's tendrils balled into fists before he assaulted the water once; this technique was proving to be bothersome. With a concentrated gathering of chakra, it would merely form a pillar. With the layer of chakra thinning out along the surface, it would move against his whim and suffer him unto yet another assault from the very element he sought to achieve mastery over.

..A tedious task, indeed.
