{7:34 A.M.}

Asano got up out of bed after procrastinating for half an hour. He walked over to the window, like everything else in this village, his house was permeated by an ever present mist. He opened the window, and after his eyes adjusted, noticed that today, like every day, it was overcast, he could just see the sun as a bright spot against the clouds. "Might as well rain today..." he said, cheery as ever, "now what should I do today?" he asked himself as he walked into the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.

"Now, what to have for breakfast, hmm, choices, choices, he muttered as he looked about his fridge, I know, steak! He exclaimed, grabbing one of the steaks he had left marinating over night. He reached over and turned his antiquated gas stove on high, then grabbed a frying pan from the cupboard, and placed the frying pan on the raging flames, followed by the steak in the frying pan. He cooked it for a few minuets per side, giving it a nice sear, but leaving the center nice and pink.

Perfect, he said as he turned the stove off, and grabbing the steak with his bare hands, headed into his back yard. But what should I do today, he muttered to himself, ripping a hunk off of the steak, and proceeding to devour the rest, decided I got nothing better to do, might as well train...

After a few minutes of deliberation, Asano finally decided to work on Koorisuberi (Ice Sliding). He started by focusing his chakra and pulling some water from the air, focusing it at his feet. He then froze the water, but as he tried to move, fell flat on his face. It seemed he had frozen his feet to the ground, however he managed to angle his head down and land on his forehead, instead of his nose, "Owwww... he moaned as he got back up. He then sat down and, using kuri buki, created a water kunai and began to chisel his feet free.

An hour later, his feet were free, and he got up to try again. This time, he began by releasing chakra only from his feet, building it up as he pulled more water from the air, amassing it on the soles of his feet. This time, before beginning the jutsu, he coated his feet in chakra, and focussed more, allowing the water to freeze at a slower rate. After a few seconds of this, the water was at a semi-solid state, and he began to walk forward. With the first step he took, he knew it would work this time, because his foot quite nearly slipped out from under him.

He tried to take a few steps, it was hard to balance, and he slid alot, but he was beginning to get the hang of it. Even though he go a few bruises, and fell alot, he eventually managed to finish one full lap without falling at all. "I think I'm beginning to get used to this..."

(ooc:sorry, my friends dragged me out, so i had to end my last post early)

{12:30}

After lunch, Asano went back out to the street and did the handsigns, this time preparing to use this jutsu as if he were in battle, or running through a forest. He focused his chakra like before, and felt the water collect on the bottom of his fee t, time to get going he thought as he dashed forward, heading staight towards the market, it should still have quite a few people at this time of day...

As soon as he reached the market, he had to start dodging the patrons, and other bystanders. Everything was going well, until he ran head first into a shopkeeper. "Sorry ma'am, I should have been watching where I was going more carefully." Asano said as he stood up and look at the woman he hit.

"No no, son, it was my fault, guess I should have at least tried to keep my ninja skills sharp these past few years..."

"You were a ninja?" Asano asked in disbelief, analyzing the girl who looked like she had just had her 16th birthday. She had jet black hair, and green eyes, she was rather slim, at just under what looked like 5'9.

"Hey, I was one of the best kunoichi out there. At least until I lost my leg..."

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?"

"Me and my best friend took the chunin exams as a team, but our opponent was too powerful. I may have lost my ability to fight," she said pulling her right pants leg up, reveling ,large ghostly white scar on her right leg "But my friend wasn't so lucky..."

"I'm...sorry," Asano said, struggling for the right words what...what was her name?"

The girl looked down"Her name...was Hitomi, Kaishin Hitomi..."

Asano stared at his feet "I'm...a kaishin too... I'm Kaishin Asano He finally said.

Oh? She perked up a little, You are? I'm Hinata, Sakuraba Hinata. If there's ever anything you need help with, just let me know. She said as she ran off.

{3:00P.M.}

After Hinata ran off, Asano did the hand signs for Koorisuberi (Ice Sliding) again, and took off again, down the busy lane. He tried to see how fast he could go, so he made his way , using the busiest path of corse, to a fairly empty section of the local park. As he began to start he found that he could start faster if he held his right leg perpendicular to his left and pushed off with both his leg and his chakra at the same time. After he did a lap at about 15 MPH, he put all his chakra into accelerating. The whole world began to dissolve into a blur, and he just kept accelerating, faster and faster, he reached 20 MPH, and just kept going. He reached 21, 22, 23 MPH, and kept on going faster. He reached 25 MPH and reached his terminal velocity. What a rush! Asano thought as he watched the world around him rush by as a green blur.

However, Asano suddenly realized he never figured out how to stop with out hitting anything! He had to dodge several trees and people as he tried to figure out a way to stop, though he kept failing time after time. Eventually realized that if he placed his feet against his momentum and applied his chakra, he should be able to stop. However when he tried this, he lost his balance, and fell to the ground, his momentum forcing him to keep rolling, eventually he came to a stop after he ran out of momentum. "That was fun..." he said, gasping for breath, and holding his arms tightly. Because he had come out wearing only his vest today, his arms where now bleeding profusely, and he ached all over. "O.K, time for round two! He said, picking himself up and performing the handsigns again, despite all the people watching him, talking amongst themselves about this strange kid who didn't seem to mind his arms bleeding. As the water and chakra built up again, he thought to himself Maybe I should go to the hospital later...

Before any of the bystanders could approach him, he started off at top speed. Seeing the world dissolving again, Asano decided not to go full speed, but instead decided to practice stopping with out falling on his way back to his house. He found that as he weaved through the crowds of people, he slowed down little by little as he slolumed between the people. Maybe if I crouch down low enough when I apply the chakra, I can stop without pain... He thought as he dodged a group of girls on their way to the market. He glanced at his arms and noticed that they were still bleeding fairly bad. Damn, need to get home soon, he thought as he continued down the path, turning on to one that was a little less crowded. As he came to the town square, he decided to see if he could move across water like he'd heard. He headed straight for the fountain, he crouched and jumped over the knee high wall, and landed on the water, he kept going straight over the water until he reached the other side, he jumped again, clearing the low wall, and landing cleanly on the other side. Asano kept going over the grass and twisted his body, leaving him almost perpendicular to the ground, as he applied the chakra, more gently this time, quickly slowing him to a stop, without crashing or undoing the jutsu.

Asano turned around and surveyed what he had done, seeing the frost everywhere, he said to no one in particular:"Wow, it really does leave frost everywhere you go, who knew? Oh well, might as well keep going," He said as he continued down the quickest path back to his house.

After binding the wounds on his arms, Asano walked down to the beach near his house. As he walked, he thought about which jutsu to train next, by the time he got there, he had decided.

I guess I'll learn Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu (Mist Clone Skill)...

Finding a good spot on the beach, he performed the handsigns, and began to mold his chakra. After a few seconds, his first clone began to take shape, a very loose shape. It quickly dissolved with a light gust of wind. Figures... Continuesly performing the hand signs, Asano began to mold his chakra again, this time bringing it into a tighter focus. The mist began to take form, first it took the shape of a human, then, the mist began to show more details. After a few seconds, it began to
glow slightly with chakra, which, as it faded, revieled all the colors that appeared Asano's person. It was a perfect clone.

sweet, now I just need to work on maintaining three more at the same time, Asano said as he began the hand signs again, pulling the mist in the air together again. He molded his chakra easier now that he knew how to do it already, though he felt aquard under the critisysing eyes of the clone he had already completed. The mist took on a more defined form mch quicker this time, and began to glow with chakra just like the other.

[Amai Tomoshibi]

It was a normal afternoon in the mist village. Streets were crowded with the current lock down that the new mizukage had set. Amai was pondering on the current events as she wandered. Though, her thoughts were disrupted from time to time since the girl accidentally bumped into a villager or two.

"Heisei-sensei told me to take the afternoon off from training.. It.. really isn't like we did much.. He's.. only taught me two techiniques.." Amai thought bitterly as she nearly walked into yet another person. "Perhaps.. I.. should train anyway.." Her eyes examined the area that the kunoichi was passing through. They stopped on the beach where it seemed as though there were triplets. From her range of sight, she could recognize bandages on their arms.

Moving at a quicker pace as she struggled to dodge around others, Amai proceeded towards Asano. Once close enough to be heard above the townsfolk she would say; "Uhm.. Pardon me, but.. a-are.. you alright..?" The young medic would then back away and keep at a good distance so that not much of her facial features could be seen without good eyesight.

(OOC) Sorry for the small post..

[Corvus]

Asano continued to mold his chakra, and the second clone quickly took on its colors.Alright, I'll do the next two at the same time.

"Uhm.. Pardon me, but.. a-are.. you alright..?"

Asano released his jutsu and turned towards the street. Seeing a young girl there, he assumed she was the one who had interrupted him. "Oh, these?" he said, gesturing to his arms, "Yeah, I'm fine, I've just been practicing a jutsu." He continued, bowing, "I'm Kaishin Asano, and who might you be?" He asked the girl.

As Asano awaited her response, he began to observe this newcomer. She had long blond and brown hair and what seemed to be blue eyes, odd shade though. Her hair looks a bit unkempt, but that could have been because she just came back from a mission. She was also wearing mostly gold, and she looks a bit pale.

(OOC:Don't worry about it)

[Amai Tomoshibi]

The kunoichi seemed a bit confused at how someone could not be in much pain with such a large amount of bandages. She began to walk a bit closer. "But, your arms.. it'd b-" Amai realized what she was doing and backed away further. Thoughts were juggled around in her brain as she pondered on what to say next. "I-I'm.. Amai.. Amai Tomoshibi.." She seemed to of had a hard time pronouncing that sentence.

Deciding to be polite since the girl had interrupted Asano she added, "It's.. nice to meet you.. Asano-sama.." Amai bowed her upper half and kept her head drooped. After a few minutes she questioned, "M-May.. I.. train with you..?" She hoped to learn something from this strange kaishin. "I.. do need to seek out as much knowledge this world can offer.. In.. order to survive.." The genin concluded in her mind.

[Corvus]

"Sure"Asano said "you can train with me." he said as he turned back toward the water and did the handsigns again.I should do two at once he said as he began to build his chakra. After a moment the two clones began to take shape, the mist first, then the details. As his chakra built, the two clones took on more definition, until they began to glow and took on their colors.

"Perfect," Asano said to himself as the clone finished taking form, "Now the next two I'll do even faster" He began the handsigns again, and the mist began to take the shape of the clones, the colors began sooner this time, and the details were there even before the colors. The clones were even more detailed than before, they all but looked perfect.

Amai watched as the Kaishin continued on with his jutsu. She proceeded over to the waves that crawled onto the sand and fell back into their origin. Wrestling with her bad memory, the genin attempted to remember a jutsu from the water release book she read in the academy. "I'll.. need to learn a techinique that will help me protect myself..After all.. Jyuuken never worked.." After a few minutes of appearing to stare into the glistening sea, Amai thought of 'Mizu no Muchi'.

Placing her hands into the water before her, the girl used her chakra to pull as much liquid onto her gloves as she could hold. Without looking back, she asked; "Uhm.. Do.. you.. know what.. a whip looks like..?" Amai shifted the contents on her gloves around in circles, trying to get a image of a whip in her mind. The only pictures that came to mind was the type of whip that you poured onto pies or ice cream.

She tried to make that object out of the water in her palms. The result was a blob that refused to stay upright correctly. "Maybe I'm.. not using enough chakra.." guessed Amai, knowing her past failures had that happen before. "But.. that's usually ended up.. with.. using too much.." Uncertain as to what to do, the kunoichi waited for a response from Asano.

"Why not try a long courd, that might work," he said as he dispelled the four Clones and began again. Doing the hand signs, he glanced in Amai's direction, even through the mist, she looks preety good, she'd probably look even better if she put some effort into her apperence.

Artemis focused enough chakra to create four clones at once. After a few mimoments, the clones seemed to just phase out of the mist. "Perfect!" I'm really getting good at this

(ooc:wow a whole six points thanks soooo much...)

Asano quickly dispelled his clones and began again. have to get this 100% He did the handsigns again and began to focuse his chakra again, molding it into the shape of the clones, one at a time. The first clone was still fairly easy, just shaping the mist into a human shape and adding the details from there. Asano focused more on the details this time, he started with the eyes, he did his best to reassemble his eyes from memory, I probobly should have brought a mirror. Asano watched them take shape and emerge from the mist, saphire blue, perfect, now for the face His chakra forced the mist to copy the shape of his face, I never quite relized just how feminine I looked next he changed the forhead, adding the tattoo. He tweaked a few minor details and moved on to the ears. He focused on the slight tapering of the ears, twisting the chakra into a point at the top of his ears, just as he was about to move on to the torso, he noticed something wrong with the chin, it was a tad bit too square. it was a simple matter to fix it, just needed to pull the chakra up a little at the base of the jaw.

Now he worked on the torso, starting with chest area. Asano closed his eyes and focused on the arrangement of the internal organs and skeleton. He made sure that the sternum, the ribs, the spine, and the shoulder blades were properly shaped, proportioned and placed. Next were the stomach, the heart, lungs, and other random organs. After a moment, Asano opened his eyes to survey his work, it looked perfect. He added the vest next, it being a simple matter compared to the complexitys of the human biostruture. He went to the abdominals next, starting with the organs again. He closed his eyes and worked on the intestines and whatever else was in there. Then he worked on the skelature next, that was simple, just had to legnthen the spinal coard and spine. After that, he worked on the skin and muscles, making sure to keep the waist thin. The arms were up next, the bones came first.

Taking the Kaishin's advice, Amai began to shape the water in her hands. The genin used little chakra since she imagined a whip not being very long. As a result of ten minutes of twisting and molding, she managed to create a cord. Once the cord was flicked, it disintegrated into a puddle. "I.. wonder what I.. could be doing wrong.." Her eyes shut as the girl imagined the page. Scanning the image from her memory, Amai finally figured out why it didn't work. "I.. need hand signs.." She murmured and opened her eyes.

After pondering for about two more minutes, she stepped into the crashing waves. The freezing liquid rose up to her ankles. Amai shivered from the cold, but slowly tried the hand signs in her memory. A wave splashed higher than the other ones. "What.. could I.. be doing wrong..?" Her gaze shifted to Asano. "She.." The kunoichi obviously thought that Asano was a female. ".. did the hand signs quickly.."

She clutched her arms, the water's temperature wasn't doing much to help. Amai stepped back onto the sand and waited until she was warmer. Upon making the hand signs faster, a small amount of liquid rose. It just stayed there, floating in a messy line. The young medic grasped the object. Though, the water quickly splashed back into the sea upon touch. "Why..? Why can't I.. do anything right..?" She walked onto the sand and sat there, thinking of what to do.

[11/30]

First he posed the clones arms like his, holding the tiger handsign. Next he closed his eyes and tried to remember where all the muscles and bones went, he sent a little extra chakra into his arms to help him with this. Starting with the right arm he built the bones one by one, starting at the shoulder and working his way down the arms, into the hand, and ending with the finger bones. After that he began building the muscles; cell by cell. Finally he layered the skin on top of that, again staring at the shoulder and working his way down the arm, covering up to the finger tips, accenting tha with the bandages. After that, he began work on the left arm. The bone building process seemed to go smoother this time, taking only about three fourths the time it took him the first time, next he built the muscles, making sure to get them all attached right. And finally he finished up by making the skin and adding the bandages. He then opened his eyes to survey his handiwork, and seeing it was fine, he set to work on the legs.

He began work on the pelvis, just glancing over this part seeing as it won't matter much. He created the pelvic bone and layered the muscle and skin over that. Then he began work on the right leg, closing his eyes so that he could focus better. He started with the femur. He then worked his way down to the shin bone, and added the knee cap. After that he began work on the feet, after a few moments, he was done. Next, he added the muscles over the bone, and the skin over that. To finish up the right leg, he added the tow nails, suddenly realizing his mistake, Asano went back up and added the fingernails. Now for the left leg He began work again with the femur, then moving on to the shin bone, adding the knee cap as he passed, and working his way down through the feet. After that, he added the muscles, again making sure everthing was attached right. Asano finished up with the skin and toe nails and as an after thought, added the pants. He opened his eyes to survey the finished product, and saw no flaw. But just as he was about to begin work on the second clone, a Jonin came up and talked him.

"Are you Kaishin Asano?'he asked.

"Hai, I am."

"Your presence is requested at the tower."

"The Mizukage huh? Ok then, I'll go." Asano said as he turned towards the tower. "Sayonara Tomoshibi-san," he said to her as he performed Koorisuberi and took off towards the Mizukage's Tower.
