Waterfall Kunoichi.

[Akemi]

Time passed by quickly and by three o' clock Akemi had repeated this process several times. She sat down to regenerate her chakra, her eyes closed. She figured there was no point since there was zero visibility. Around her was the mist from her most recent try at the Kirigakure Jutsu. It was taking a really long time for her chakra to regenerate, but the time the mist had fully cleared, she was ready to go. The girl had opened her eyes to the sting of the sunlight. Shading her eyes with a hand, she stood up. The sun fely good, all the mist from before had made her body cold.

Akemi expertly performed the hand-seals. "Kirigakure!" she yelled. Mist started to form. Akemi was used to molding her chakra according to the Hidden Mist Jutsu. In fact, she was fairly good at it, even though it wasnt quite mastered. The mist thickened deeply and it spread rapidly. It was going exactly how it had been done the time before. 'Im not doing good enough!' she thought and tried pouring more chakra into the air. Now, the mist was at its thickest and it had spread out over an impressive area.

At this precise time in the earlier practices, Akemi had tried to run around with zero visibility withuot hitting any obstacles. (Trees and such.) At first, a few of these obstacles had decided to say hello and chat for awhile...but the more she practiced the jutsu, the more she got to practice moving around and dodging the obstacles. She knew with a real opponent it would be a lot easier sensing where they were because they would be emitting a chakra energy, but she thought she was better of donig it anyways just in case.

'You never know.' she thought. So, now she moved at top speed through the thick mist, avoiding everything that crossed her path. It was awhile before she finally found a clean area. The girl recognized this as a sign that she had done a good job at performing the Hidden Mist skill.

Akemi was on her way back to the training area, and she had learned two things. One, almost everyone here was older and knew plenty more jutsus than she, and two, she was now the only Waterfall Nin participating in the exams. One of the nin who had resigned was a friend of hers, and she was slightly dissapointed. He would have done well, even if he was sort of a phycho. Anyways, she wasnt going to be out of her league. Her goal was to learn at the maximum five more jutsus, starting with finishing off the Hidden Mist jutsu.

So far, Akemi was unhappy with the result she was getting from learning the technique. She should be doing it better than she was, seeing that she was a ninjutsu specialist. Her emotions were feeling quite down because she wasn't doing so well. She was born and raised in Waterfall, yet she was better at fire techniques than water techniques. It was if she wasnt a Waterfall 'pure-blood'. She pondered over these thoughts, trying to believe in herself and try harder, but it would not work. She kept thinking about just switching to fire jutsus, since they were easier... but she wanted to be a good representation of her village. She tilted her head up facing towards the sun, which was now sinking slowly over the horizon. It was slowly losing its bright yellowish color and was gaining a dark red color. It was becoming dimmer and dimmer after each second of wasting time daydreaming into space. Suddenly, somewhere in her Brain told her to keep trying and she would soon become a Master of Water. This built a strong amount of determination within her body. Her emotion, at that moment, had just changed from a Dull type person to a determind type person who would not show any ways of giving up.

Soon, the sun had totally faded from view, and the moon took its place int he sky. Everything was peacefull and pleasant. 'Lets get started.' Akemi thought in her mind with a Captivated type tone. She was no longer doubting herself, but now trusting in herself to finish her goal for today. Which was to learn this technique. The ground was damp and smelled fresh. Probabaly a rain shower which had occured had done this, but this would help her when she performed the technique. It would enhance her water vapor and create a much stronger and thicker mist. Probably increase the length of the fog also.

She focused hard into the center of his body, flicking her hands into a seal. This seal was for her to concentrate hard onto her chakra flow and try to create a flow which was strong and would let her perform alot better when learning the Jutsu. The flow of her chakra slowly started to build up as each second passed her. She could feel the strength of the flow build and build and she soon realised that it was now strong enough for her to perform well while performing the Jutsu. Her head was position with strength on his neck, and her eyes were straining to see as far as they could see without a tree getting in the way. Her goal for now was to create a thick strong mist so that she would not be able to see the last remaining tree that was in her view.

She shifted her left arm high into the air, stretched out as long as Akemi could stretch it. It was at an exact verticle degree, flying straight into the air. She moved two of her fingers, her index and middle, upwards and held them into the air. She kept the two of the fingers together so they partnered up. The other remaining fingers on her left hand, she let them slip down into her warm palm since she would not be using them for this technique. At that moment she moved onto her right hand. She bent her elbow at a 60 degree angle and then placed her right hand infront of her face, a small distance infront of her nose to be exact. This hand also had the index finger and the middle finger facing upwards, but in direction wise, they faced over to the left of her body. Once both of her hands were in position, she was ready to perform the technique. A small murmur came out of her mouth, which sounded as though she said the technique. "Kirigakure no Jutsu" She said quickly.

At this point, the water vapor in the damp, moist ground she stood on started to rise into the air. This continued and started to create more and more droplets of small water vapor flying around. The vapor then started to link up with each other, forming a haze type substance which soon turned into a heavy fog. This sequence was soon repeated over and over by the remaining vapor in the air. It soon became to form a Misted type colour and was actually Mist itself bynow. Her head faced the direction of the tree she had been looking at earlier, which by now was slowly dissapearing through the thickness of the mist. A gleeful type emotion then travelled through her body and mind, as her mist slowly became thick. The range of the Mist had been projected at her best so far. The range covered her goal, she could not see the tree she had studied earlier. She was quite satisfied with the outcome this time.

Slowly, she began to shift her hands down from the position that they were. She placed them hard down on the side of his body. Going through her mind was what she was going to do next. The time was about 8 and she was going to rest a little at 12. She had four hours to try and learn this technique before going to sleep. Could she do it?

[Akemi]

Akemi was very pleased with herself by now. Quite strange for her to be excelling so quickly in a water style jutsu. If she continued at this rate, she would definatley have learned the technique before it was time to hit the sack. She started to walk away from her mist creation with a quick step in her pace. She wanted to get things done fast and she wouldn't be able to do that when slacking off and walking slowly to her next area. The new area had no mist and the night had fully taken its course. The air was clean and smelled like a fresh garden with lots of growing plant life and smells from certain flowers. No animals seemed to be in this area, unless they were hidden and stuck on a mute. She tilted her head to the ground and saw a small earth worm. Digging its way down into the loamy soil after a fresh nights rain. The area around Tea was peaceful and good. But, Akemi would now ruin the peacfulness temporarily, and make the air more damp with her mist. She smiled at the thought she had passed through her head many times this minute. She was so close to mastering it.

She was in a Cheerful mood at the moment, probably because all around her was good and nothing disturbing in his sight remained. So all was good. She was still very determind to learn this technique as so she wont be classed as an embarrasment to the Waterfall Village. What if the Chuunin exams took place tomorrow and the examiners laughed in her face because she had messed up such simple techniques? Or what if ninja from other villages totally flattened her in the exams? Oh, just WHY did the other Waterfall Nin have to resign? Akemi would not let that happen, she was extremely determined to be a good representative of her village.

She positioned her hands into the middle of her body into a seal. This seal would increase the flow of chakra in her body so she would be able to recieve a much better result when performing the technique. She was a little tired from her last performance of the Jutsu, but that would not stop her from building up more than last time she had performed the technique. Her determination seemed to block out the message from her brain telling her she was tired from his last performance. She could slowly feel her chakra flow through out her body, so perfectly that it was feeling very strong. She would need to perform the technique later, so she didn't put all of her chakra into the flow just yet. She made the flow balanced so she would recieve a well done finish in the end. Finally she felt as though her chakra was flowing at a rate that suited this technique and she soon started to perform the first steps of the technique.

She first pushed her left hand up vertically into the air above her head, and the highest she could possibly stretch her arm too. She extended her index finger and middle finger outwards and pointed them up high into the air together. She binded them together with the force of her power so they stood like soldiers one by one next to each other. With the remaining fingers on her left hand, she placed them down into her palm keeping them away because they were not needed for the technique. Now was time to move her right arm into position. She bent her elbow at a 60 degree angle away to the right of her body. With her hand, be brought it to the middle of her face and just sitting it away from her nose. She copied the same style that her left hand had with her right hand. Keeping only the index and middle finger up while the other hands remained in the palm of her right hand. Her right hand faced to the left of her body while her left hand faced to the front of her body. Now her hands were positioned correctly and her chakra flow was up to speed. She now was ready to perform the technique. "Kirigakure no Jutsu" Shee muttered out of her small mouth.

As she said the technique, it started to perform itself. The water vapor in the air and the damp water in the ground from the rain last night started to mix together with the chakra from Akemi. In the air they formed together and started to create small pieces of grey fog. The fog started to connect with other vapor in the air, and started to grow as each second passed time. The remaining water vapor in the air and some water from the ground was sucked into this fog creating a Misty color. It was soon to hard to see some things that stood far away from Akemi. A Tree she had been staring at before, was no longer visible to her eye. She could ear some sounds from the animals now in the area where she was performing the technique. The mist started to grow larger in size and soon passed the range from where she had last performed it. She was relieved with herself that she could create a mist larger than she had last time. She was happy with herself because she was improving with her chakra controlibility after each time in trying to perform the technique.

She placed both of her hands down to a spot on her body where they seem to relax themselves, each side of her waist. She let them dangle without giving them much more jobs to do, so they could rest abit. She stood in the smokey mist remaining quiet and just resting up abit before maybe performing the technique once more. She felt satisfied with her result this time as well as is result last time.

Learned

[Akemi]

Akemi looked up, a twinkle in her eyes. She had finally mastered the jutsu. Come to think of it, it was almost midnight...she sighed. She was tired, but she still felt inferior to the other ninja she had encountered. They had all looked so much wiser...so much stronger...Akemi was even feeling envious of that blonde kunoichi's beauty. 'If I dont want to feel so out of my league,' she thought. 'Then maybe I should change out of this kiddish kimono.' She had brought a change of clothes, but those could wait for sunrise. She couldnt sleep yet, no, she still had to learn plenty more jutsu. So for now, she made her way back to the small lake she had found earlier.

During the slow journey, Akemi had noticed that her mist jutsus had all clearly faded away. 'That only took a little while to learn come to think of it.' she thought. Maybe her chakra control had increased. Oh well, by now she had arrived at the lake and her attention turned to her training. Looking around at her surroundings, she noticed that she was at another end of the lake. A nicer one, by that. By the bank of the lake, stood a beautiful cherry blossom tree, and the moonlight was dancing on the water. The scenery was perfect.

Akemi smiled and ran down the small hill to the base of the tree. Her hands brushed away the soft pink flowers that had fallen from above earlier, and she took her pack of her back and placed it on the ground. The pack wasnt her simple vertical pouch for holding her two windmill shuriken, but her traveling bag that held many items including that. She brought out a book, and on the cover it was titled 'The Complete Description of all Water Style Ninjutsus'. Akemi opened the book and inside was just that.

She was looking for another jutsu to master, a harder one than usual. The Chuunin Exams were scheduled a lon time ago...why would they have it up and running anytime soon after all the time they'd been waiting? So, since a harder one took more time, it really didnt make a difference. 'Mizu no Tatsumaki' she read, the Water Tornado Jutsu. That one sounded very interesting...but the limit was that she had to learn the Daibakuryuu no Jutsu first, the exploding current jutsu. And whattya know, she was right by a lake.

Looks like my first step is to learn Daibakuryuu no Jutsu!" she said and closed the book, sliding it back into the travel pack. She then got up and walked over to the bank of the lake, a slight breeze making her hair flow lazily around her and leaving the travel pack behind. She stood at the edge of the water, ready and in position. It was only one o' clock. She would make it in time to watch the sunrise.


Daibakuryuu no Jutsu - Great Exploding Current
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: If an opponent is standing above a lake or a large form amount of water the user is capable of creating a small vortex within the water so then the opponent is capable of falling through.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: After doing the needed hand seals a vortex of water will form, sucking anything on the surface above it down to the depths below.
Limit: Water Release, must have a lake, or a grand water source, more so then a normal water technique.

(Actual Training will Start on Next Post ^_^)

[Akemi]

She had left her shoes back with her bag, and the cold water glazed over feet. She knew since she was learning a jutsu that was to be performed over a grand body of water, she should at least learn how to walk on water. Akemi had seen it done before, and she also knew she had to direct her chakra to the soled of her feet and repel the water according to its current in order to keep her balance. She positioned her hand near the middle of her body and formed the dragon seal. She was performing a jutsu, but it was her favorite seal for some unknown reason and it had always helped her focus.

She stepped onto the water, and it felt firm. Keeping her chakra steady, she stepped over with the other foot. It was hard to keep her balance, her arms were flailing around but eventually she got the hang of it. She tested herself and walked around the surface. She had done it. She smiled. It was easier than she thought it would be. Now for the jutsu. She decided to perform the jutsu on herself, since she knew Suichu and all, there was no real danger.

Performing the hand-seals, she said "Daibakuryuu no Jutsu!". The water under her feet started to bubble, and a small whirlpool started to appear. Scared out her skin, she dispelled the jutsu. The whirlpool faded away and the bubbling had stopped. She looked at her dumbstruck reflection in the water and realized at last minute that it had been her jutsu. She decided to only perform it on herself when she felt ready. Instead, she would perform the jutsu right next to her.

"Daibakuryuu." she said and the water beside started to bubble and the whirlpool started forming. She knew this was only the first stage of the technique and forced her hand-seal together, helping her create more chakra. The extra chakra from Akemi helped the whirlpool grow in size, and Akemi had to step back in order not to get sucked into her own jutsu. Pouring even more chakra into the jutsu, the whirlpool turned into a sort of underwater vortex, and it was sucking in everything in its path.

Akemi stepped back even more, the vortex was growing in size. She decided not to put in anymore chakra, she was going to just keep it there, see how long she could keep it up. Her chakra was slowly but surely draining...and if she was giong to continue to train for this jutsu, she was going to have to stop here. She let go of the hand-seal and she blocked the flow of her chakra. The vortex grew smaller and smaller, eventually going back into a small whirlpool and then bubbling out of sight.

Akemi sat on the water breathing heavily. It had been like a horror movie, the darkness almost sucked her into the depths of the sea...but it was only a lake, and it was only her jutsu. Even so, she was going to take a five minute break.

[Akemi]

After the break, Akemi quickly got back to her feet. She stepped back onto the water, her hands already forming the needed seals. Directing her chakra toward the water beside her, a whirlpool quickly bubbled from the surface. Soon after, the water swished and churned into a giant underwater vortex. Akemi peered over to the center of the vortex, it was dark and scary...maybe she should practice this jutsu as a stealth attack. After this round ofcourse...she stepped back, making the vortex bigger. A small breeze was created from the jutsu, making it so her hair flowed slightly. As Akemi grew tured of this, she no longer emitted anymore chakra. The vortex eventually faded away once again, and Akemi activated her Suichu jutsu.

Also, she deactivated the chakra at the soles of her feet, causing her to suddenly fall through the surface and then suspended underwater. Her Suichu jutsu kept her from drowning, and she imagined an enemy was standing on the water above her. Her imagination kept the vision intact, she always treated her training as real life. Her hands flew through the hand-seals that she had already memorized and a bubbly 'Daibakuryuu' was heard. She heard the whirlpool form, and then it shot down to the sandy bottom in a giant vortex. She imagined her enemy getting sucked down into it, and her goal was to drown her victim. She kept the vortex spinning, and it was getting harder and harder to stay in one place. The vortex was slowly sucking her in, but Akemi kept going.

In Akemi's imagination, another enemy was running away on the water. She quickly imagined where he was going to step next, and created another vortex there. The whirlpool formed even quicker than before, and the vortex shot through the water. She kept it going but her chakra was getting drained even faster than before, for this time she was doing two jutsus at once. Her determintaion got the best of her though, and the vortex continued. She choked on water, but she wasnt done yet. The girl forced all the chakra she could into her vortex jutsu, and it started sucking things in even underwater. Plantlife was pulled up from its roots and it was pulled into the vortex.

By now, everything was violently churning in the vortex. It was like a giant blender...Akemi choked on more water, and the bubbles floated up through her hair which was flowing rapidly towards the water vortex. Finally, Akemi had had enough. She just couldnt put up with two jutsus like this. Her vortex swished out of sight, and she swam to the top, longing for air. She burst through the surface, her first breath a welcome action. She took one hand and placed it firmly on the water, and pulled her legs up and rested there on her hands and knees. She looked down at her reflection, she looked tired and worn out.

She couldnt be, not now, the sun hadnt even risen. She laughed to herself. Her mother had always asked her if she ever slept, but that was when she was alive. She collapsed on her side, and rolled over on her back. If only she could pull the water over her as a blanket...she imagined the feeling of a solid liquid, finer than silk...as she looked up, she noticed there were plenty more stars than in the village, all them shone brighter than ever. 'Dont drift off...' she told herself. She couldnt help her eyes from closing, though.

[Akemi]

Akemi felt something wet fall onto the middle of her fore-head. Her eyes opened a light rain started to fall. 'A storm?' she thought. 'With all that nice weather earlier?' She decided she better have this jutsu down before the storm really settled in so she got up and positioned her hands in the dragon seal. Her green eyes closed deep in concentration. Chakra was flowing through-out her body, she didnt want to waste nay chakra, so she brought out all her chakra because it is easiest that way to get a precise amount.

"Daibakuryuu." she said and the water under her feet started to bubble. A whirlpool eventuslly took form and Akemi started to sink slowly with it. She thought of surfing around the inside of the vortex, but no matter how much fun it sounded, she knew that would just be wasting time. Before she directed enough chakra to make the vortex, she activated her Suichuu jutsu as to not to drown. After finally falling into the vorex, the girl diaaspeared from sight in one big swish.

Anyone who had actually seen this event happening, and if they knew Akemi, they wouldnt be surprised. Cus if anyone had ever watched Akemi train, they would see that she liked to get herself into life/death situations. She doesnt know why, but she just likes the thrill, and that very thrill was surging throughout her body right now. Although spinning violently through a vortex underwater did hurt badly...and when she finally let the vortex break apart, she slowly started sinking to the bottom, feeling like her brains had just been sucked out.

Seeing the pattern of ripples on the surface increase brought her back to her senses. She had forgotten all about the storm. Deactivating her Suichuu jutsu so she wouldnt waste any precious chakra, she swam expertly to the top. The young kunoichi pulled herself out and resumed her usual starting position on top of the water. She didnt even bother saying it, the Daibakuryuu jutsu was already being activated. The bubbling stage didnt start off the jutsu, instead the whirlpool immediately started and the vortex stretched right through the water with a more violent spin then usual.

Akemi felt herself getting sucked in even though she was at a distance. All of this brought great surprise to her, but the feeling soon washed away as she realized that the rain had grown much heavier, the clouds were much darker, and lightning was appearing all over the place. The girl quickly deactivated the jutsu and ran onto land once again and once she had reached the base of the Cherry Blossom tree by her lake, she collapsed onto her traveler's pack. Knowing she would have to sit the storm out, she pulled out a long blanket from her pack, and she wrapped it around herself, hoping the storm wouldnt be as bad as it looked.

18/30

[Akemi]

Akemi's eyes fluttered open as dawn finally broke. The storm had passed and everything was quiet except for the birds which had also been a cause of her awakening. Finally realizing that she wasnt dead, she sat bolt upright, looking around. The lightning storm hadnt seemed to do any damage to the area, the cherry blossom tree she had been sleeping under had not lost any branches, and its trunk was still fortunately intact. Wrenching the gray colored blanket off of her she quickly ran back down the hill. She had planned to get her training done before the storm, but it had interupted.

When she reached the bank she jumped over and ran along the surface of the water to the middle of the small lake. The young kuniochi was going to have to work extra hard because she was late on learning the jutsu. When she reached the middle she slid her feet together, her hands positioned in the dragon seal. Ofcourse, it helped her concentrate on her chakra flow. Ready to use her newly restored chakra, she muttered the words "Daibakuryuu" under her breath. She directed her chakra towards the water's surface, to be more specific, the water next to her. The usual bubbling only occured for a maximum of three seconds, and while Akemi churned her chakra, the water churned as well and a whirlpool was formed.

Then an underwater vortex shot down through the water and started violently spinning around. Under girl's feet the surface of the water was rapidly being pulled towards her vortex, and she smiled in approval as she could feel even herself start to slide into her creation. Cutting the flow of her chakra, the vortex receded and the water resistance had stopped. That last peformance was exceptional, but deciding it was better to learn it before the sun was in the middle of the sky, signaling noon. She formed her hands in the form of the dragon seal once again. The young kunoichi was a little tired from her last try at the jutsu, but she had enough chakra left to last the rest of the day.

This time around, she would direct a bigger amount of chakra into the jutsu, hopefully greatly increasing the speed. "Daibakuryuu!" she shouted and Akemi immediately noticed that the amount she had directed was perfect, and that it was strong enough to just start churning up the whirlpool. The girl's brow raised as she started experiment with her chakra. She found that if she compressed her chakra before churning, the vortex would form faster and shoot through the water faster. She did just that, and the vortex's speed surprised even herself. She had almost lost her footing and slipped in, but thankfully her reflexes were of great speed and her hand shot down before anything could happen.

Once Akemi had had enough, she cut off her chakra and the vortex span out of sight. She was happy because she had figured out little tricks with her chakra in order for her jutsu to be more advanced when performed, but curious about how it would increase her other jutsus's abilities if she some-how figured out even more little chakra tricks. It was something she had would have to do later, or at least read up on later. Right now, she was getting really tired of practicing this jutsu, there was nothing exciting about it, A.K.A. (life threatning). Remembering of her earlier ambitions, she quickly ran back over the bank and rushed under the cherry blossom tree and collapsed onto her knees beside her pack.

The girl opened the pack and started to rummage through it, finally finding what she wanted. Her arm pulled out what looked like something made of silk and leather, and her eyes moved back and forth, checking to see if anyone was looking. No one was in sight, and she couldnt sense anyone's chakra so she stuffed her blanket which she had left on the ground inside of her pack and changed on the spot. *New appearance in BIO*

Pushing her old "kiddish" black and white kimono inside her pack, she made the required hand-seals before saying "Suikoudan!." A ball of swirling of water formed out of mid-air and when Akemi walked close enough to it, she could see her reflection clearly. Under the tree, she had taken off her kimono and put on a pair of black shorts, and a white silk halter top and over it is an open black fishnet short-sleeved summer jacket with a very low hem that reaches the ends of her shoulder-blades.

Her shoes hadnt changed, they were the same old black official ninja shoes. She had wrapped white gauze around her elbows, and put on black leather fingerless gloves. She had replaced her old charm on her black silk choker with a silver cross...and right now, she was wearing her hair up in her signature high-pony hairstyle with a white silk hairband. All of this looked back at her through her created water-mirror, and she smiled in approval.

"Okay." she said. "Back to training." Akemi released the jutsu and the water came falling down, and on her way back to the lake she dropped her pack off at the base of the cherry blossom tree once again. When she eventually reached the middle of the lake, she noticed that the sun was no longer on the horizon, but had completed about one-seventh of its journey across the sky. "Daibakuryuu!" she shouted. The young kunoichi was pumped up, and she was ready to get it over with. Immediately the whirlpool formed and the vortex took its place due to Akemi's little chakra trick.

The vortex shot down underwater and twisted rapidly, sucking in everything and tearing it to shreads. Akemi just couldnt wait for what she would be learning next. 'The dragon technique...' was all she could think of...but she needed to concentrate on this for now.

[Akemi]

Akemi cut off her chakra flow once again, the vortex slowing down and eventually dissapearing. She figured she had gotten the hang of it, but if she performed it at least one more time, she should be able to master it. "Daibakuryuu!" she yelled. If it was going to be her last time practicing the jutsu, might as well be her best. The whirlpool did not swirl for a few seconds by itself this time, instead it just swooshed down into the water and immediately formed the vortex. It shot through the water, the girl's chakra compressed through every churn and swish. The young kunoichi kept it going for about ten minutes making sure nothing slipped up. When she felt satisfied, she stopped the process...and then and there, she closed her eyes, judging herself.

[Akemi]

...fine. ;D

She felt the performance a bit rusty, so once again, Akemi flipped through all of the required hand-seals. "Daibakuryuu..." she muttered, bored to smithereens. Bubbles started appearing on the water about five yards away from her, and the whirlpool slowly started to form. This wasnt because she was lazy, but because she no longer had a high interest in the jutsu. Not wanting to waste any, she used as little chakra as possible, and eventually a weak vortex weaved its way to the bottom of the small lake. The girl sighed and let her chakra flow break..."Was that enough?" she asked no one in particular.

[Akemi]

Not as overjoyed as she should be, Akemi yawned and then shunshined back to her spot under the Cherry Blossom Tree. She took out the book so she could reas up on the jutsu she wanted to learn so badly. "There!" she exclaimed, her fingers finally stopped after flipping so many pages. It read:

Mizu No Tatsumaki (Tornado of Water)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Creates a spiraling vortex upwards to be used as a defensive like move or an offensive like move.
Special:
Drawback:
Description: A technique where water is is made into a large spiraling vortex that spins around the ninja. This technique can ber used both offensively and defensively. Offensively to attack the opponent,and defensively to deflect attacks. This is in conjunction with the Great Exploding Current in which the water sprouts out in a vortex like form.
Limit: Water Release, must know the Great Exploding Current Technique.

The girl smiled with excitement. She knew she didnt even have to have a water source with this jutsu, but she figured it would be easier starting off with one. Quickly memorizing the hand-seals and jutsu, she slipped the heavy book back in her pack and shunshined once again on top of the water's surface. Positioning her hands at the middle of her body, they took the form of the dragon seal so she could succesfully gather enough chakra that she thought needed. Then, the girl carefully went through the required hand-seals before saying "Mizu no Tatsumaki...?" a quiver in her voice. She was nervous enough trying to learn a B-Rank jutsu.

*Actual Training on Next Post*

[Akemi]

Akemi pulled a good amount of water up around her with her chakra and began to slowly spinning it around. Despite the obviously horrible performnace, the girl kept on trying and sped up her chakra in the water. The water aronud her had gaps in between spins and the above-water-vortex only made it up to her waist. She sighed, and the water dies down. This jutsu was harder than she thought...next jutsu will be a fire one thats for sure. Not giving up, her hands moved at mediate speed through the accustomed seals. "Mizu no Tatsumaki!" she yelled. This time, she knew better than to direct the chakra all over the place...in fact, that was one of the most idiotic things she had ever done.

So she condensed her chakra and she span it around untill all of it was going in one directions and because of its momentum the water stirred around on the surface untill it was lifted up into a vortex around the young kunoichi to the height of her shoulders. This precise performance was like a spinning top. There werent as many gaps as last time, but the tonardo of water leaned to the left then to the right, and vice-versa. She tried to gain more control and gradually, the small tornado straightened out, and Akemi had complete control over this level of the jutsu. By now she was breathing a little harder than usual and the water died down...'This jutsu takes like, a LOT of chakra...' she thought. To think how much farther she had to go...

It was going to be hard, but again, her hands flipped through the now memorized hand-seals with her chakra at the ready...and speaking of chakra, she had used about 25% of it already. "Mizu no Tatsumaki!" she yelled, her energy now refocused. The swish of water could be heard as it was formed into the tornado that sped around Akemi even further up a little past her head. The girl controlled it skillfully with her chakra and this time there were no gaps at all...and by now the sun's color had brightened to light orange and it's reflection off the girl's jutsu had reacted in a gorgeous rainbow. The slight mist from the spiraling water tornado hit her face and some-how it encouraged her greatly and she poured even more of her low amount of chakra into the water spinning around her.

The tornado grew in size a couple of feet above her, causing her to use more chakra to control it's movement and for there to be no gaps. The swishing sound increased to a violent hiss and it sprayed onto Akemi so she was basiclly in a shower. This cool feeling of water brightened her spirit even more and she smiled, trying to pour as much chakra that she had left as she can. It was starting to hurt her brain because she was trying so hard, and she didnt want to have a severe headache in the middle of training, so she immeidately stopped her chakra flow when she felt the pain increase. Her lungs were on fire form breathing so heavily, and she sunk to her knees on the silky platform of the water so she could try and catch her breath.
