The tiger symbol was easier to create now, he didn’t even have a cramp in his hand anymore. The clone next to nodded, “So I guess we are getting stronger…” Jai just nodded as they walked down the path. Then sound caught both Jai’s ears, but trying not to be so obvious, they continued. They spoke telepathically, “I think he is in the right to our right….” The clone just sighed as he slipped his hand into his pocket. Jai then heard the sound of a kunai breaking the air, and at that moment, the clone jumped to Jai’s side and blocked the kunai with his own. Then Jai quickly dropped to the ground to pick the fallen kunai from and the ground and threw it right back at the enemy. A quickly rustle in the trees and the enemy was gone. It was simple, but it just proved his thought from the beginning. Someone didn’t want them going wherever they were headed. It didn’t matter, they would press on, they didn’t care about boundaries anymore because it seems everyone was breaking those these days.

Jai and his clone continued down the road, and as they did, Jai began to do the Tiger symbol over and over again trying to make sure it wasn’t just some lucky streak. Jai placed his kunai into his left hand as he looked at his right hand and created the Tiger handseal. He felt that slight pulse feeling in his hand everytime he did it, and afterwards he cracked his knuckles and relaxed as they continued down the path. They took shifts as they continued, one watching around for intruders and the other practicing the handseal. The clone now began to bend his fingers into the right sign placing his pinky and ring finger into the palm of his hand. Then he pointed his index and middle finger towards the sky as he bent his thumb forward down the narrow path. Even the clone felt the pulse and they figured that it was time to switch hands. They were right handed so it would be different trying to do the handseal with his left hand which rarely held a kunai in battle. Jai did it first, looking at his open left hand hoping things would get to hard.

As they continued down the road, Jai did the handseal very slowly with his left hand. Learning one handed handseals would be worthless if he couldn’t do them with both hands, it seemed pretty difficult to do. He cracked his knuckles before trying again. He bent his pinky and ring finger into his palm before stretching his index finger towards the sky and his thumb forwards away from him. A light pulse in his hand, but nothing so amazing that proved he was close. As they continued down the long path, another odd sound appeared once again. Jai looked over his shoulder and watched as a Kunai flew directly for his face. If it weren’t for his clone pushing him to the side, he would have been a goner. This time the enemy could be seen clearly, but something even weirder happened when another one came out. They were identical, but the newcomer was dark then the real one. Jai and his clone looked at each other both with a look of surprise, and then they turned back to face their new opponents.

“Your not going any further boy…..I have heard things about you…Jai.” Who was this mysterious man. He wore a long cape, a pair black boots. His pants covered over his boots, with a dingy black color covered with a long cloth that goes almost all the way to the floor. The clone by his side did not speak, but almost like a rivalry, Jai’s clone eyeballed him as the real one spoke. A round of applaud could be heard by the boy, “Wow, you can do magic…..tell me what I’m thinking right now…….I’ll tell you, GO HOME OLD MAN!” This man was in his late twenties, but Jai knew that people older then him hated it when he said that, so it was just a taunt. The man just smirked before his clone disappeared in the bushes. “Follow him….” A telepathic message from Jai to his clone which was responded by the clone’s speedy leave. Jai then slipped out his kunai from his left pocket and got into a fighting stance. He couldn’t tell from far away, but this man was an Uchiha. Jai was never a fan of Uchiha’s in the first place, only Uchiha friend he had was Rowidren. Either way, it was time for another long battle.

Jai wanted to finish this quick and easy. He placed his hands together but before beginning he spoke, “You have something to do with Segun don’t you huh?” The man just smirked as he ran forward towards Jai at fast speeds he could never come close to without his Axis technique. Jai began the quick handseals he had planned, “Dragon, Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Snake, Ox……Tiger” his pause in trying to create the one handed Tiger sign caused him to mess up the jutsu and get hit by a powerful fist from the opponent. Jai sighed as he hit the ground and lifted himself up by his shoulders into a hand spin in his Caporiea. He then landed on his feet and used his Axis technique to rush for his opponent, and at the moment he reached his opponent something weird happened. His opponents eyes had first faced past Jai, but his eyes quickly looked down at Jai and grabbed his fist before he could do any damage. The man then swung Jai over into a nearby tree will powerful force. Jai made impact with the tree and slid to the ground, mostly pretending the pain was worse then it really was.

He placed his hands in his lap as he was sort of hidden by bushes allowing him to begin the handseals again. “Dragon, Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Snake, Ox, Tiger” this time he did the Tiger handseal with his right hand and it worked. He aimed his hand towards the opponent and watched a beam of light flaming light burn through the bushes and towards his opponent. The man was quick, but he couldn’t dodge the entire beam of light as he moved to the side allowing the beam to burn the side of his waste. But Jai had it planned out, he made sure to aim in a certain position to force him to move into another direct so he could already have an idea of where to throw his kunai. The kunai he quickly sent from his other open hand stabbed man in the arm. It came as a surprise to the man, and it caused him to spin back into the beam of light burning him again. Jai couldn’t hold the beam of light that long so he skipped up and used the Axis technique to leap at him quickly again.

The blow knocked his opponent back about ten feet giving him an opportunity to do one more jutsu that would finish him off. He inhaled deeply and after mixing chakra into his lungs, fired a large drill arrow into the man’s chest instantly kill him for it targeted his heart. Jai didn’t care for finding out answers, that is why he killed him, but something soon changed his answer when the body turned into a large plank of would. A replacement jutsu, so where was the really one? Jai looked from side to side, mad that he was so reckless. A kunai broke the air as he dodged to the left and created a few quick handseal. His final handseal was the Tiger sign, which he was able to do with his left hand. His index and middle finger pointed towards the sky as his thumb pointed backwards and his other fingers folded in his palm. Jai then span around aiming his hand towards the man in the trees burning a hole through the tree he was previously posted upon.

Then another kunai from his otherside, followed by two more from other directions. Jai didn’t know where to aim but he began the handseals for his fire lance once again. “Dragon, Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Snake, Ox, Tiger” The Tiger sign much easier now with practice, but he still could be a little more quick. Then the final kunai signaled him to turn around and aim towards another tree. The opponent was gone again, and Jai was beginning to feel dizzy from circling around trying to find his opponent. Jai then felt a painful cut in his left arm, and then one in his right arm that made him bleed along the ground.Jai looked again, hoping that he wouldn’t get hit by a surprise attack. One thing did worry him though, a few seconds later he saw a dark puddle of goop move along the ground and under his feet. His clone was defeated, and now he had to fight two of them. He couldn’t do it so he ran using his Axis technique. It would be suicide to stay when he knew that his opponent was to slick for him.

A good distance from his last battle.....

Out of breath, lost, and running for his life, Jai ran out of the dark woods and into the dirt roads. He had no idea of where exactly he was, but he did not plan on getting killed by some lunatic Uchiha. He didn’t even know where he was, but he had to slow his pace and take a breath. He leaned against a large boulder as he caught his breath. He had lost track on his training, and he needed to get back on track again. He placed his index and middle finger into the air while folding his ring and pinky finger into the palm of his hand. His thumb pointed infront of him as he felt a pulse in his hand that was powerful just like a normal handsign. Afterwards, he decided it would be time to practice with his left hand. He lifted his hand to his face and watched as he made the handseal. “Tiger!” his index and middle finger pointed towards the sky, his pinky and ring finger folded in the palm of his hand, and then he thumb pointing forward. Jai felt a very weak pulse from the handsign, but this wouldn’t do if he were to make a jutsu with his left hand.

He continued down the road as he repeated the Tiger handseal with his left hand. He repeated in his mind, “Tiger….Tiger….Tiger….Tiger” the pulse still weak, but sooner or later it will get stronger. He stretched his arms and cracked his knuckles before twisting his wrist. That ninja in the woods was no were to be seen, and the fact that he was following him still left him with many questions. He walked down the dirt road as he created the Tiger handseal over and over again. He began to bend his fingers into the right sign placing his pinky and ring finger into the palm of his hand. Then he pointed his index and middle finger towards the sky as he bent his thumb forward down the long and windy path. Still just small pulses in his hands as he made the Tiger sign, so he kept trying as the sun beat down on him. From far away, he could see a small village far away. “Thanks…..this weather is ridiculous.” He jogged down the path as he made the Tiger sign over and over again.

He even held his left hand in the tiger position again to make his hand get used to the position. His pinky and ring finger folded into the palm of his hand, and his middle and index finger pointed to the sky. Then his thumb curled along side of the palm of his hand. He then felt a pulse in his hand signaling that the handseal worked. He continued down the road as he cracked his knuckles, trying to get the cramp out of his hand. He then practiced using both hands, creating the Tiger handseal as quick as he could. The left hand still a little shaky as he attempted to fold it into place, but his right hand went straight into the handsign. He held them as his right hand gave off a powerful pulse and his left a weak one. He would then snap his fingers and do it again. Simultaneously, his pinky and ring finger folded into his the palm of his hand. Then his index and middle finger pointed towards the sky as his thumb pointed forward again. He stopped to take a breath before continuing down the path.

He placed his hands together and began to create the handseals for the My Shadow technique. “Tiger-” attempting to make another shadow of himself, he messed up on using the one handed tiger seal which begins the entire jutsu. He tried again focusing this time, “Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Dog, Goat, Ox” once, time for more ten more times. “Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Dog, Goat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Dog, Goat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Dog, Goat, Ox, Tiger-” he messed up again, sadly he wasn’t as good with his left hand as he was with his right. It was a bit irritating for the fact he had gotten so far on the long string of handseals and still couldn’t do the one handed Tiger handseal perfectly like with his right. He cracked his knuckles and sighed before continuing down the the path slowly now that he was close to the village. He didn’t feel it was right for him to create the weird looking clone in a village he knew nothing about. He cracked his knuckles and made the one handed tiger handseal quickly. Folding his pinky and ring finger into his palm while pointing his index and middle finger towards the sky. His thumb curled into his palm as he felt a slight pulse showing that he had made the jutsu. It was much more powerful then when he normally made the tiger handseal and he was pretty proud of his achievement.

[shinzo-kori]

The village was small, and very quiet as he walked down the village streets. A few children playing in the streets, a few merchants selling things and very few people walking through the streets. It was pretty dull, but Jai didn’t care because it was a place he cloud lay low for a little bit. An Inn around the corner and Jai had no money to stay. He ran over to the side of the building, hidden in the shadows of the building and made the one handed tiger handseal before continuing onto the string of handseals. This jutsu required he repeat the handseals ten times so that is what he would do. After every rotation, he would fold his left hand into the tiger seal. His pinky and ringer finger folded into his palm, and his middle and index pointed towards the sky. His thumb curled into his palm, and then he would continue with the other signs. He switched hands every sequence just so he wouldn’t slip up. When he was done, the shadow from under him began to rise into a dark puddle of goop, one that began to form into a clone.

It was quick and easy, and then a moment later they were gone. From the inn building, the innkeep could see a interesting person coming into his inn. It was Jai’s clone, a cloth covering his eyes as he walked to the desk. “Whats it going to be, do you need a one bedroom.” The clone sighed before speaking, “Well…..I need a one bed room..” The man nodded and turned around the get the key out of his large cabinet fool of them. A quick flash of light entered the building as the clone appeared to surprised. The clerk turned around quickly with the key in his hand. “What was that, the wind?” the man said just as he placed the key on the desk. Another flash of light blew between Jai and the desk causing the key to disappear. The clone had a look of pure amazement. “What just happened?!” the clone said feeling the surface of the desk in attempts to find it. The clerk’s eyebrow was raised as he went to the other side of the desk. “You trying to rip me off, why would you want to steal a key?!” the man began to drastically pat Jai down checking his pocket.

This man was brave, checking on someone as odd looking as the clone took bravery, but Jai didn’t hurt him. A second later another break of wind past the two and out the door. “He got out, I’m going to go find him….I apologize for accusing you!” the man said as he ran out the building. The clone took the blindfold off exposing his red glowing eyes as he walked around the corner of the hallway. “That was pretty slick if I do say so myself…..” the clone said to Jai who was around the corner holding the key in his left hand. They both smirked as they went up into the room. When they got inside, they sat down on the bed both thinking of what their plans were after they left this village. “You know, if that wasn’t his only key, our time here is very short…lets continue our training on this damn handseal so we can go.” The clone nodded as they both lifted their hand in front of each other. A split pause, and then they quickly folded their left hands into the one handed tiger seal quickly.

They did it exactly the same, and they both felt a weak pulse. It wasn’t what they wanted, but it should get as strong as their right. To make sure it wasn’t just a fluke, Jai lifted his right hand as the clone lifted his left hand. They both did the one handed Tiger seal, the pinky and ring finger folded while his index and middle finger pointed towards the roof of the room. A strong pulse in his right hand, but the clones left hand was still a little weak. It was getting stronger though, he just needed more practice and focus. They switched this time, Jai his left and the clone his right. Quickly, they both put their fingers into the tiger seal handseal. The pinky and ring finger folded into the palm while the index and middle finger pointed into the sky. His thumb folded into the palm of their hands. A pulse from both of them, almost equally strong. They grinned and gave each other a high five proud of their achievement. They side and fell back as they began to talk to each other. Talking about many things, but it was pretty much like talking to yourself, but Jai tend to do that anyways so talking to another person that understood him was nice.

“Tiger….Tiger….Tiger….Tiger” the pulse still weak, but sooner or later it will get stronger. He stretched his arms and cracked his knuckles before twisting his wrist. The clone sat on the other side of the bed practicing the left one handed Tiger seal. They both practiced hard, their hands cramping on them as they repeated the handseal. “Why are we even wasting our time on this damn handseal anyways” Jai asked himself, in turn asking the clone. It was an answer he already knew so the clone responded. “Because we’re trying to be more well rounded.” The real Jai sighed and placed his hand into the Tiger handseal again, pinky and ring finger folded into his hand as his index and middle pointed to the dirty ceiling of the room. His thumb curled into his hand as a slight pulse signaled it was working, but he wasn’t sure if it would be enough to begin a jutsu. He continued though, the clone mimicking his actions as they sat in the room looking at their hands.

Jai began to get lost in the curves of his hand, and he still wasn’t sure if it were the poisons that ran through his blood from his battle with Ninzume but he didn’t care. He was just grateful to be alive after fighting that maniac. Jai and the clone both sat up and faced each other sticking their left hand into the air. Then they quickly folded their hand into the tiger seal. Their pinky, ringer, middle, index, and thumb all moving into the position necessary for the handseal to work. It was a much stronger pulse, and of course it needed a little more speed but it was good enough. Jai and the clone smiled at each other as they gave each other another high five. They then began to draw like a duel their handseal. “1…2…3!” as they both lifted their hand up into the Tiger handseal. Jai slightly stumbled making the clone the winner, but Jai was pleased either way, it was just a way to make boring training fun. He placed his hand back into his lap and got ready for another round.

“1…2…3!” they both lifted their hands up curling the pinky and ring finger into the palm of their hand. Then the index and middle finger pointed towards the sky and their thumb folded into the palm pointing towards each other. It was close, but they both knew that Jai won this round so they placed their hand back onto their knee. They sat with their legs crossed and eyes closed meditating for a bit focusing on their chakra. They then both opened their eyes after about five minutes of meditation and got ready to do the handseals again. They stared into each others eyes before lifting their hand in a split second making the handseal and feeling an equal and large pulse from it. “Tie I guess, and we’re both doing it right.” Jai smiled and cracked his knuckles before stretching his arms and legs off the side of bed. “How much longer do you think we have till the innkeeper realizes what happened?” The clone just shrugged and laid back on the bed. “The question is what are we going to do…we can’t go back to Iwa, and we need to get some type of help for Konoha”

Jai didn’t know what to say, he just lifted his hand to his face and folded his hand into the tiger handseal. His pinky and ring finger facing down while his index and middle finger pointed towards the sky. His thumb then folded into his hand and he felt his hand pulse signaling his success. Jai sighed as he leaned onto his knees and thought for a second. “Well, I guess this is the chance we always wanted to go and travel. I know somewhere I always wanted to go….” The clone lifted his hand to his face and quickly folded his pinky and ring finger into the palm of his hand before pointing his middle and index finger towards the sky. His thumb folded into the his hand and a powerful pulse could be felt. “Well I guess we head to Sea country don’t we….” The clone said as he cracked his knuckles. Jai just nodded before standing up and stretching again. He was still sore from his long battle with that crazy scorpion. Jai then walked over to the window and looked out at the quiet village. He then made the tiger one handed seal as he leaned on the window seal. “That sounds good to me.”

[shinzo-kori]

The clones continued their training on the handseal. “1…..2…..3!” another draw of the handseals as Jai and the clone folded their hand into the Tiger handseal. Their pinkies and ring fingers folded into the palm of their hand. Then their index and middle finger pointed towards the sky while their thumb folded into the palm of their hand. A pulse could be felt in both of their hands. They were successful, but Jai wished they knew a jutsu that required just the Tiger seal, that would make their training more worth while. Learning this handseal was a bit of a hassle for the fact that it took so much focus just to learn it. They decided to make a game out of it, a bit of a silly one but it would help the time go by faster. They would try to make the tiger handseal before the other, and whom ever was the slowest would have to either have to do a certain amount of push ups. This caused tension as they both focused harder. “1….2….3!” the final number triggered them to throw their hands into the air and create the Tiger seal.

It was a tie, and both Jai and the clone sighed from relief. They placed their hands back on their knee slowly and waited for a moment. A slight moment of silence as their hands twitched each second. “1….2….3!” They both lifted their hand immediately into the Tiger handseal, but the clone was slightly slower then Jai. Jai leaped from the bed with his arms in the air and a grin on his face. “GIVE THIRTY PUSH-UPS BOY!” Jai yelled as he pointed his finger at him. The clone grumbled under his breath and got off the bed and onto the floor. Jai crossed his arms and counted each push-up he did happy as ever. The clone got up from his push-ups and sat on the bed ready to begin again. Jai just smirk as if he were a big shot and got into his position. “1…2….3!!” They quickly lifted their hands into the air and made the tiger handseal. The clone won this time, and he fell back laughing at Jai who had a mug look on his face. He then got off the bed and onto the floor beginning his thirty push-ups.

The clone got up and placed his foot on Jai’s back adding pressure to the push-ups…..something his old sensi used to do when he was younger. Jai sighed as he pushed the clone off of him and sat back down on the bed. They both were more serious now as then waited a quick moment. They decided to switch hands from their left to their right. “1….2…..3!” they each slipped for a second and they quickly put it back in the handseal position. Jai lost again, and he was a bit upset about it. The clone raised an eyebrow, “CUT THAT WHINING OUT LOSER!” the clone said as Jai fell to the floor again. He did another thirty push-ups and slowly lifted himself up back onto the bed. They each placed their hands back down on their knees and waited for a moment. They would do it with their left hands this time. “1…..2….3!” they each lifted their hand into the Tiger seal. The clone sighed as he realized he lost this round and quickly fell to the floor to do his push-ups.

The clone pushed himself up from the ground and took in a deep breath. "Lets just practice the handseal......for a little bit." Jai nodded and placed his left hand in front of his face and folded his fingers into the Tiger with his pinky and ring finger folded into the palm of his hand. His index and middle finger pointed towards the ceiling and then he felt the strong pulse. Jai nodded and then the clone mimicked him, this time doing both hands at the same time. The pinky and ring finger folded into his hand as the index and middle finger pointed to the ceiling as his thumb pointed towards Jai. He felt a pulse in both hands as he placed his hands into his lap and waited for Jai to do the same.

Jai then lifted his hands into the air and mimicked the clone as both hands pulsed. It was equally strong in each hand and it was a good sign, they had finally learned the one handed Tigerseal. Now they needed to try and figure out what type of jutsu they should learn that includes the tiger seal only, but at the moment they just focused on practicing on it. Then both paused for a split second and lifted their hands into the one handed tiger handseal as they eached felt a powerful pulse run through each of their hands. Then both closed their eyes and sighed before looking back up at each other. "Well......it looks like we have to learn another-" the clone interupted him before he spoke.

"-NO, we wait because of all the time we wasted on this handseal, we are behind on other stronger jutsu...." the clone argued and Jai just shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back against the bed backboard as the clone lifted himself up and walked to the windowseal. He looked at his hand and created the Tiger handseal again and felt the pulse in the palm of his hand. Jai had created the handseal at the same time, and they quickly gave each other a glance before smiling. "HEY, WHO EVER IS IN THERE BETTER COME OUT!!" so the keeper had realized what had happened, but Jai and the clone didn't plan on getting caught as they both leaped out the window and ran out the village never to return.

[shinzo-kori]

As the two walked down the road headed who knows where, they took a break and sat down at a river flowing by. It was comforting and as the clone relaxed in the grass, Jai played around with the tigerseal a bit more. He lifted his hand into the sky and folded the fingers into the one handed handseal. The middle and index finger pointed to the sky and his other fingers folded into the palm of his hand. A pulse signalled his success and he sighed as he closed his eyes and felt the sun beat against his face. The clone had his feet in the river as he leaned back on his elbows enjoying their break.

"Do you think that guy is still following us?" the clone asked telepathically to Jai. Jai sighed and then responded the same way, "Yes, but he is keeping his distance for some reason.....he has a plan for us I can already tell...." The clone sat up and placed his hands into his lap before taking in a deep breathe. He then lifted his hand to his face and folded his hand into the one handed tiger handseal feeling the pulse it caused. He smirked and closed his eyes as he felt something swerm by his feet. He quickly threw his arm into the river and grabbed a fish floating down the stream.

He then threw it backwards sending it flying to Jai as Jai quickly threw a kunai into it as it fell to the ground with point of the kunai sticking in the ground. The clone placed his hands together and first created the one handed tiger handseal before doing the rest of the normal handsigns and aiming his hand at the fish. A beam of light instantly cooked the fish as he moved his hand away and turned back to looking at the river. Jai picked himself up and walked over to the fish and pulled it up to eat. The clone of course didn't need it, he was just a clone that didn't really have an appetite.

Learned!

[shinzo-kori]

Name: Katon Porigon(Fire Polygon)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user creates a large polygon of flames and fires it at the opponent at amazing speeds.
Special: The user creates and holds the one-handed Tiger handseal throughout the entire jutsu. It is mostly done with both hands, but it can be done with one hand in situations when the user only has one hand to use, but the outcome is much smaller.
Drawback: Doing this four times in a battle singes the finger tips of the user making it hard to create handseals. The user must stand still.
Description: The user creates the one-handed Tiger Handseal with both hands and then creates a polygon of the users choice in front of them with the tip of their middle and index finger tips as they hold the Tiger seal. Once they complete the shape of the polygon, the flames will fill in the empty polygon. they can push it forward shooting at the opponent or object of choice. The speed of the jutsu is just as fast as a kunai in flight. The size depends on the arm spand of the user. If the flames make contact with the opponent, they rap around the user and explode in a large blaze of flames. Of course it can be survived but major burns will occur.
Limit: Fire Release, Requires the One-Handed Tiger Handseal(Created By Jai Nazaka, he will teach it to whom ever wishes to learn)

[0/70]

Jai walked down the long and windy road. A sign a mile back said he was headed into the border of Bear Country, somewhere he had never been before but it was safer then earth at the moment. The closest village was a few miles ahead of him, and as Jai walked down the dirt path he got real bored. Practicing his taijutsu along the path sifting his feet from left to right before lifting a high kick into the air and spinning around to throw the back of his fist forward using the Hi Kobushi techniques. He then lifted his left knee into the air before slipping his left hand into the side pocket on his left side pocket slipping a kunai out. He then swung the kunai to the right and back as if to snag the edge into the neck of the opponent. He then lifted his right hand up to the side of his left hand and created the one handed Tiger handseal with both hands creating a weird circle shape as if to confuse the opponent. A second later, a ring of fire appear in mid air that stopped him.

“What the hell was that?” He stopped for a moment and looked at his hands. Nothing, just odd warmth within his four finger tips which pointed in the sky. He shook it off and continued down the road trying to figure out. He flicked his finger tips trying to get that warmth back but nothing happened. He shrugged it off and continued his Taijutsu practice, quickly leaping into the air throwing his right leg across his chest. As he landed on his right foot, he quickly used the momentum and spun around swinging his left foot towards the imaginary opponents face and lifting his arms up once more. The hands quickly positioned creating the one handed tiger handseal doing the same move he did last time to create an imaginary circle. He was feeling a slight warmth, but it did not hit him until he span around in a 360 and pushed forward into the same circle. A ring of flames pushed forward ahead of. He stopped himself and felt the slight heat in his finger tips as he shook his hands.

Things were really strange, he was doing something he had never seen or done himself before. He stopped in the middle of the road and looked at his hands as if they were powerful weapons. He placed his hands into the one handed tiger handseals again and created another circle before him. Nothing happened, and it was really strange. He sighed and walked over to the side of the road to find a large boulder, one he could sit on top of and think. He leaped up onto it and sat down with his elbow leaning on his knee and his chin resting in his palm. “Ok….so I fight using the handseal, and flames appear…..but I didn’t use Hi Kobushi that time.” It was strange, and he needed to focus and see if he could harness this strange power he had accidentally done. All the while he figured his learning the Tiger handseal was a waste, and now a hidden technique he had never heard of, and he had heard of a lot of them except for the hidden forbidden jutsu. He sat up straight on top of the boulder and lifted his hands to his face.

He then quickly put each of his hands into the one-handed tiger seal, but once again nothing happened except for a slight pulse in his hand. He took a breath and closed his eyes trying to make sure he wasn’t fooling himself. He then opened his hand out and made the one handed tiger handseal again and lifted it in front of him like during his battle. So strange, but it left him with an idea. It was possible that his adrenaline rush. He leaped from the boulder and got into the caporiea battle stance and began to practice his different dance style of Taijutsu. He quickly leaned to the side and landed on his left hand into a one handed hand stand before spinning on his hand in the soft grass into a 180 degree spin. He then landed on his feet and did a forward handspring landing him directly in front of the boulder pushing his hands out forward into the one-handed Tiger handseal before him. He then circled his hands letting his fingertips meet at the bottom of his circle. A ring of fire created as he pulled back and pushed forward.

The flames pushed forward onto the surface of the boulder and created a black ring. “What the…..that was amazing.” It was, a jutsu he had never heard of and only thought of during his training. It was strange how things worked out, but he wanted to harness this power and add it to the list of many jutsu he knows. He quickly fumbled through the backpack he carried on his back and looked for something. “I swear I had it…..here it is!” a B-rank scroll, one he could write down his findings. He hoped no one had learned this as well, but it was claiming until otherwise. He began to write a little of his finds and then rolled it back up before placing it in his pocket. He skipped around from side to side to get his adrenaline going and then created the Tiger handseal with both hands. He then focused his chakra into his hands using the fire release to create a flame in his fingertips as required. He made an imaginary circle in front of him holding it there. The flames soon evaporated within seconds.
