It was a long time… a long time ago was the first time Mare got into contact with “them”. They were the reason for his existence… they molded his creation… gave him life. Without them Mare would be nothing, and now he serves them… fulfills there biddings and other stuff. “Its been a long time since I was not under their watch…” he said with a grin… knowing that the events about to unfold will change the shape and future of Ame forever… and he needed to be a part of it. Strength… was what he needed… what he craved… he needs it too please… his master’s. Walking into a nearby field sand started to pour right out of his gourd… giving him sand to create his “art”. His master’s gave him a new justsu to master… something he needed to learn… to help them achieve their goals… to recreate Ame… bring it back into the old ways… its golden age forever. Letting out a deep sigh his chakra started to gather immensely and started to shape and form the sand around him. The time of the struggle has begun.

He started to form some hand seals… and all the sand around him started to bulk up and gather into the center. It was like some sort of magnetic force were attracting all of the sand in the area to that one specific spot. “I must…. I must… make them pppprrrrooooouuuuddddd” yelled Mare with ferocity. Then a mysterious blue aura started to surround Mare… his strength had obliviously had been magnified ten folds during the last time he was out in Rain. “They” have trained him well… improved him in the art of chakra in many ways. Then with a simple flick of the wrist the great orb of sand started to sprout out from the ground at a great pace. It then formed into the sky started to just levitate their. The sand appeared as some sort of ominous cloud, or some sort of dark figure in the sky. “What… a perfect anagram for the events that are about to unfold… thou it’s a pretty grim sight” he said with a wicked smile. “They” obviously changed his personality a great deal… a great deal indeed.

Then an ominous grin appeared on the young ninja’s face. He then slowly raised his arm to about his shoulder level, and then clamped his hand down with great force. The sand inside the cloud… started to react to the boy’s movements. “Now the fun begins” he said as he saw a speck of sand slam into the ground with a great force to it. This was just the first to hit the ground… the first bullet to the ground of Ame by his doing. The small speck of sand started… a great chain reaction… that little thing crumbled the rest of the cloud. Then sand started to burst forth from the could. A giant storm of sand was being taking place. A great flurry of sand was everywhere… probably destroying every little bit of plan life… every little thing in this area is getting pelted by sand… pelted hard. No one could see five feet in front of them… there was absolute invisibility in that training area. There was no visibility at all. “This is pretty dense… but it is not strong… not strong enough to please them” he yelled with great ferocity while a blue aura started to gain around him. The nearby birds started to flee… and only the lucky ones made it out alive. The rest was drowned in a great storm of sand. The ones that made it out alive got to see only a bright azure light coming from the center of the sand storm.

The energy around the boy started to become very fierce… the strength and the magnitude of it was amazing. “I need…….. I neeeeeeeeeeedddddddd moorree powwwweeerrrr” he boy yelled out as the chakra was probably to immense for him to control. Then he couldn’t handle this much pressure on him… the strength of the chakra quickly overwhelmed the boy and started a magnificent chain reaction between the chakra and the sand. Then a great explosion of chakra was limited from the boy’s body. The explosion produced a bright light… a flare that could be seen from miles away… and with the sand it created a deadly mix. The blast was immense, and would have leveled many acres of land if it weren’t for the sand in the way. The sand acted like some sort of barrier… a buffer… a prime defense to stop this great force of chakra from its destructive path. This explosion instead knocked the rest of the sand right down to the ground, and knock Mare back several feet. Luckily for him that their was a giant pillow of sand to catch the boy as he fell to the ground with an immense force.

The force of the blast knocked the boy out cold… it sent him to a place… a happy place… back when none of this resistance shit was going on. The warmth of the sun started to tickle the boys face, gently caressing it, and awaking him from his dark slumber he was entangled in. He remembered his past… him and Riou… in the leaf country… and the group of ninja’s when they went to River and defeated the Li’s. He remembered even though that they were a rank higher than him… they were still easily defeated by the sand wielded on his back. “What… a great dream…. I never felt this feeling before… its exhilarating” he said with a wide grin on his face. But as soon as he remembered his past… was a soon it was taking away from him due to the mind tricks that was played on the boy earlier. All he remembered now was his masters, and the great pleasure he would give them through his training… his training to become great. He slowly rose up from the dune of sand. The remaining sand on his body started to slowly pour down… like miny sand streams going down Mare’s body.

Then some great strength came over his body… through the experiments they tried on him before the boy can now perform sand for his defense by will. It was a great defense, and because of it Mare was basically impenetrable. The sand then started to move on its own… like it had a mind of its own. “Yes… come to me my children” grinned the boy with a little deviant smile. The sand then rose back up towards the center of the stage… the pull by Mare’s chakra was too much for the sand… it create a great orb of sand in the middle of the stage… ready to be manipulated by Mare’s doings. With a swift movement of Mare’s arm… the sand swiftly and gracefully started to rise off of the ground. “I need…. I need to become strong…” said the boy with great desire… a lust for power… those were the words that can describe this confused kid at this time. “I need to become strong… for the future of Ame… the greater good” he yelled as the orb of sand condense in the middle of the sky. But unbeknownst to him… “they” filled his head with lies… a great conspiracy was about to go down… and he was just a pawn in their master game of chess.

Then his hazel eyes fell upon the great orb in the sky with a fierce glare. "Now... the first block will fall out" he said with a grin as he saw a speck of sand shoot out of the great orb in the sky. "And then... all of Ame will fall" was the words he muttered right before the speck of sand caused a chain reaction in the orb. Millions of little pellets of sand started to shoot out from the orb at blazing speeds. Everything in its way will be pelleted with sand... making the once noble plains he stood into a blistering desert. He was going to revitalize the past of the once noble Ame, being the past back into the present. The sand storm was a beautiful sight to behold, the trees were being destroyed one by one nearby. Too demonstrate the power of the storm Mare then threw a couple of kunai into the air… only to watch them be destroyed in a matter of seconds by the strength of the sand.

Mare then started to perform some swift hand seals and gather his chakra into the gourd that resides on his back. The sand started to swift and sway in the gourd, and its started to rattle with immense force. Then a small snake-like cylinder of sand rose out of the top of the gourd. The little cylinder started to wiggle and move just like a cobra coming out of the basket when a flute is played. Soon sand from the storm started to gather on the snake-like sand from the gourd, and it started to bulk up. The sand from the stormed formed it too a giant arm of sand. "Alright... now l this hand will make the storm more immense" he said with a wicked smile on his face. He took a deep breath… but during this breath he accidentally inhaled some sand and began a series of immense coughs. Blood started to come forth from his lungs… and mixed in with some of the nearby sand… causing a crimson tint to the sand storm.

Then the arm of sand started to wrap around his arm, and started to function like it was his own. The with a quick and fierce jerk of his hand down to the ground, and the arm of sand slammed into the ground, and the sand from the sand already on the ground busted into the air. Then his azure aura started to vibrate off of him, this chakra soon engulf in the air born sand, and it started to make that said sand part of the raging sandstorm going on. “Hmm… this is still not good enough…” he said with anger in his because of his so far poor performance in his standards. He started to clench his fist with a great force… blood started to come forth from his knuckles. He was in a great confusion and anger… “they” have destroyed the once peace-loving boy of Ame. Manipulating him to the standerds… their goals.

"I don't think I can hold this much longer" said the boy in a depressed tone. The chakra was defiantly pounding down onto the boy. Even though "they" have increased his chakra and chakra control... he still doesn't have the strength... or will to hold this amount of chakra for this long. His body started to collapse on him... his face turning red... veins popping out of his head. This force on his body was magnificent. Soon the sand of the storm started to slow down. It became more lazy... less fierce. Eventually all of the sand in the storm came to a complete stop and just poured down to the ground. The boy then took a deep sigh… trying to calming himself down after the great struggle that he had with his body to hold the sand in place. “Maybe I’m not strong enough… maybe “they” were wrong… I can’t save this village… I’m not good enough” he yelled in frustration. Mare then gave up… his body dropped to the ground. He didn’t believe he could do it, but then thoughts of his “masters” came to his head… he knew he can’t let him down anymore. His body was exhausted from the immense training he had already done today… anymore his body will surely fall on him, but he has determination to keep on going.

Blood was dipping down from his arms, and mixing into the tan sand on the ground. Then a few sweat drops dropped down from his forehead and mixed into this concoction. He slowly reached his hand forward about two meters, and grabbed a handful of sand. Mare then slowly pulled himself off of the ground, and let the sand in his hand down. It slowly started to slip through his fingers… it was like a symbol of Mare’s mind, and his freedom going down the drain. “They” have corrupted him… destroyed his mind… and there was nothing he could do about it. Standing up on two feet, but still wobbling Mare started to gather up his chakra back into his body with force. His body started to glow… a azure aura emitted from his body. Mare unlocked something that he had never down before… he felt rejuvenated… this energy… what was it? Mare quickly forgot about it… all that came to his mind was to become stronger… power. The sand on the ground started to move around… it started to shake with immense force. Mare still hadn’t have compleate control on his chakra. He then took a deep breath… and let it go slowly. After about 10 more reps of this procedure, Mare was ready… he was going to complete this jutsu.

Now in a stable state of mind… his chakra around his body became more control able. It was calmer… easier to handle. Then a burst of his chakra followed this time of tranquility. The aura was great… it was a lot darker then before. “Now… this power… its great… I’m going to complete this jutsu now” he said in pride. He knew that he was at his peak… he never felt this kind of power before. He then moved his chakra towards the sand. It started to react in a strange way. The sand started to vibrate immensely… like the sand was going haywire. The amount of chakra in it started to overload its system. Mare then started to absorb some of the chakra from the sand back into his body. The azure aura started to emit from the sand… and heading strait towards Mare. Mare then started to levitate off of the ground. His hazel eyes turned into bright blue, and sparks started to emit from his body. “This power… it makes me feel…… ALIVE!!!” he yelled out with great enjoyment. His body was basically bursting with chakra, and he had absolute control of the sand. He started to spin it around and rising it up into the air, only to bring it back down again. This was great amusement to Mare, but then he realized that it was enough toying around… he needed to get back into training.

He slowly lifted his arms up into the air, and the sand slowly rose with him. “Hah… this is getting easier, and easier…” the boy yelled in excitement. He then sent a shockwave of chakra to the sand, to make it condense into a sphere. With a clench of his fist… the sphere contracted, and every second getting smaller… and smaller… and smaller. Then the sphere only became a foot in diameter, it looked like the pressure holding the sphere in shape was great. “This thing is about to burst anytime soon” he said with a grin on his face. Then he released his palm slowly… he was very anxious to see the results… the explosion. Then in an instant the ball of sand exploded on itself, and millions of pellets were going every were in a immense speed. The sand was shooting through trees like they were made of paper. Anything in range of the area was killed on the spot. Little bunnies squirming around to get out of the sandstorm… but most were unsuccessful. Birds and other creature too tried to make free… but failed. “This death… its… its… exhilarating” he said in an evil laugh… Mare was truly enjoying it.

The bullets of sand from the storm wrecked havoc on the little woodland creatures… but it didn’t phase Mare at all. He was safe… always from harm as long as he had his sand with him. His defense was impenetrable. He was immortal. The sand in his gourd was going crazy. It was spazzing out trying to defend Mare. Constantly the sand was moving from side to side, up and down to protect Mare from the bullets of sand. To protect him from his own demise by his own hands. “This is just a delightful sight to behold” said the corrupted Ame genin in pleasure. Throwing up another kunai into the storm to check its power he was completely astonished by its power. The bullets of sand just shed right through the metal like it was paper. In an instant the kunai was completely torn apart… completely destroyed. The fragments from the kunai started to get mixed into the sand. This just made it more deadly than ever; the metal will rip through the flesh of anybody caught into the storm. Anything in the area that survived the regular sand will surely die. Mare though still had his sand to protect him.

Mare then decided to try some other jutsu mixed into this one… hoping to get a “better” result… maybe a nice combo to use in a fight. He then quickly did some series of hand seals and a very thick mist started to appear in the storm. This will surely make any one blind… if the storm didn’t do it… the mist would. But there was one problem… the mist blinded Mare as well. He then started to perform another string of hand seals and with a slight tap of his foot and a sonar wave went through the area. But this was no use to him what so ever. The sand basically blinded this as well. “Well… now I know I can’t see and neither can them” he said with a grin. This was not working well for him. He then started to gather up his chakra and put it into the storm. The speed of the storm then greatly increased, blowing away the rest of the mist and making the area a little bit more clear. Mare then started to absorb some of the chakra from the storm back too him, and finally he stopped feeding chakra to the storm all together. The storm eventually used up all of its reserves and the sand fell to the ground with a great thump. “Well… I guess I have to constantly feed it” he said with a shrug.

Mare then shut his eyes, and calmed his soul. His body then started to flow with chakra all through him. His strength became rejuvenated... he was at his prime condition. "This should do it..." he mumbled to himself. Then his hair started to lift a little bit... and the pebbles around him levitated due to the strong chakra presence in the air around him. Then a faint light blue aura was being emitted around him. His chakra was compleatly in-sync with his body and soul. Then he started to preform various amount of handseals.The sand that he stopped feeding chakra earlier, started to move. The sand became alive once again. Mare then pulled his arm out infront of him, and regain control of the sand. He quickly pulled the sand into the center of the field. He then squeezed his crimson blood stained hands together. This sent the the sand compacted together into a ball about the size of a bowling ball. "I'm going to master this justu" he yelled to himself.

He then pulled his hand up to his hand slowly and calmly. He pulled it straight up, straight as an arrow. His hazel eyes then sharpened on the ball of sand that was slowly rising up into the air. Mare then slightly started to release his chakra grip on the ball of sand. The ball started to slowly expand. Then he squeezed his hand so tightly that blood started to drip off of his hand. Then he let go off of his grip in an instant, right when the sand was about the size of a marble. The sudden loss of grip of this great force on the ball of sand caused it to implode. Sand bursted out in all directions. The speed of the sand coming out was extrodianary. The sand from the imploded sand ball quickly turned to the magnitude of a giant sand storm. The storm raged on... at a great propotion. The sand from his gourd quickly rose up into the air, and protected Mare from any incoming sand projectiles coming his way. But this time it was different from the rest. His defense was more shoddy than before, some of his sand from his sand barrier was sweeped up into the storm. Could he survive this simple training was one of the things that came to his mind.

The sand storm raging on blinded him. It also confused his trouble mind. There he saw some onimius figure out in the distance. "What is that..." he thought to himself as he saw the shape up ahead. Then the shaped started to get closer, and closer... and closer. Finally it became clear... it was in distance where he could tell what the shape was. It was a human... but who. Then it became clear to him... this mysterious person up ahead was a familiar face. It was him... he was up ahead of himself. But how can this be... how can he be up ahead of himself. "This is impossible... I'm me... but who is this???" the boy yelled out in confusion. "They" have brainwashed Mare so bad... that he was losing sense of reality. The world that he knew was falling down... falling down on him hard. The figure then approached him closer... and closer. The figure finnally stopped walking closer to Mare when he was in earshoot distance. "Time to die..." the figure said in a cold, cruel voice.

[Kumo Kouba]

(??/70)

"Wha...what..." Mare said startled. "This guy... he says he is going to kill me" he mumbled to himself. "Who are you..." he yelled to this mysterious person. "Hah..." was just the only words he said before he started to form some handseals. Then before he knew it a giant water dragon came straight towards Mare at full speed. "Damnit..." he groaned to himself as he quickly shunshinned out of the way of the water dragon. Mare ended up around 10 feet to the right of the mysterious figure. The doopleganger started to look around... wondering were Mare is, and if his attack was succesfull or not. Then Mare started to form some handseals of his as well. This time he launched the water dragon at the doopleganger. But he was prepaired, his sense were very acute. The doopleganger just formed some handseals, and a wall of sand came up and protected him from the projectile coming straight at him.

"He... he knew it was coming..." Mare said in a state of shock. "Ha... is this the best you can do... its pathetic." laughed the doopleganger to Mare. Then the doopleganger started another string of handseals and a gaint hand of sand rose from the ground, and attached itself to the arm of the doopleganger. Mare in response started to form his own set of handseals, and a pack of water clones appeared next to him. But the sad thing is, he just wasted some of his chakra. The water clones were then quickly destroyed in being in the raging sandstorm. "Damnit..." he mumbled to himself after realising the rookie mistake he just made. Then the doopleganger sent a giant punch from the arm of sand towards Mare. During this time of panic, Mare made a clutch decession. He started a string of handseals, and right before the punch hit Mare a dome of sand went right over the genin of Amekage and protected him from the giant sandy punch.

The doopleganger was amazed that the pathetic little jutsu of Mare was able to protect him from the force of his giant sandy punch. "You really think that this little defense of sand will protect you for long" laughed the Doopleganger with joy. He then started to due a flurrie of punches at Mare... each one started to crack the defenses of the dome. "This thing is going to collapse any second now..." Mare said in fear as he noticed that sand started to fall from the top of the dome and hitting him on the top of the head. He then closed his eyes... and calmly tried to focus his chakra. But he was struggling to focus under this kind of pressure when his life was on the line. Eventually his chakra was forced into the wall of sand... protected him from the onslought of punches from the doopleganger. But this defense will last for just so long. Eventually he will lose the struggle unless he thought about a way out fast.

Then the doopleganger was succesful. The wall of sand that was protecting Mare was shattered by the sheer force of the giant arm of sand. Then it all was a blur to Mare. Everything around him slowed down. It was like he was in his own little world. Then his life flashed before his eyes.

[Flashback]

Mare needed to train more after the lastest event. He was powerless to save his comrade Takashi from his fiery fate. He walked over to the lake by the village and took a deep breath. “Lately I’ve been slacking on my training” Mare thought to himself. He then started to do a string of hand seals in an instant. Mare observed the water of the lake bubbling and rising slightly to create a small little sliver of water. He tried to concentrate his chakra usage, but the force of chakra was too great and it collapsed on itself. Mare was rather disappointed by the failure of the jutsu, but he wouldn’t let that discourage from learning the jutsu. Mare took a deep breath to calm himself down, so he wouldn’t pour to much chakra into the jutsu.

The pool of azure water next to him was reflecting the sun, and it was so beautiful in Mare’s eyes. He then started to create another strand of hand seals use his chakra towards the lake. The lake started to form a piller of water, and take form of a stick or something like that. Then he started to focus his chakra into the stick like object to shape it more like a whip. The object started to get thinner at the top, but thick at the bottom to hold. “Perfect” thought Mare as the whip was being formed. Then he used his chakra to send the whip towards him and hold it in his hand. The whip then quickly collapsed from the lack of chakra in the water and reverted back into its watery form.

“Damn… so close to creating a whip…” said Mare as he took a deep breath. He started to do more strings of hand seals and the water began to rise and take shape of a whip, but this time Mare didn’t have to concentrate to put more chakra into it. The wipe rose up into the air and fitted in the palm of Mare’s hand, but this time the water didn’t collapse right when it hit his hand. “Yes… I’m doing it… I’m close of finishing up this jutsu” he said with glee. Then in the corner of his eye Mare spotted a log that would be perfect of learning how to learn how to use the whip in battle. He quickly used the whip and hit the log off of the ground and sent it soaring in the sky. He then redirected his whip with a twitch of his arm and hit the log again to send it soaring back to the ground with an immense force.

Mare would watch as his skills with the whip gradually increased. He could now send the log in the air, and basically control all of its movement with some simple fast twitches and flicks of his wrist. “Alright… now lets see how high I could get this into the air” muttered Mare to himself as he wrapped his whip around the log and with a quick but hard flick of his wrist, he sent it flying up into the air, and it kept on going. Mare hazel eyes would watch as he saw the log rise into the air from 5 feet to about 15 feet into the air. “Now to send it back down to the ground”. Mare quickly extended the whip to the falling log and quickly, but gent tally wrapped the whip around it. He then slammed the log down at a blazing speed towards the ground.

“Hey, I’m pretty good at this” thought Mare as he sent the log slamming into the ground. He then sent it back into the air with a twitch of his wrist and hitting it from the bottom. Mare watched as he sent the log up a good 4 to 5 feet, but now he has to finish it. He used the whip to hit the log back down, but before it hit the ground, he used a quick flick of his wrist and sent the to the side of the falling log and wrapped it around it. He then made his arm go to the side and sent the log flying towards a nearby tree to shatter it. The force of the log hitting the tree made it shatter into a million pieces, but the impact also made the whip revert back into water form. “Damn… I was getting good at using the whip… I guess I need to limit the force I use and use more chakra into it the whip to make it stronger”. Mare then went into the nearby woods and found a new log to continue training the jutsu.

[Kumo Kouba]

(??/20)

Bringing back a log from the woods and placing it on a nearby stump, Mare would continue his training of the water whip jutsu. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath he would calm himself down and concentrate his chakra. A faint azure spiral of chakra started to spin around him, gaining speed gradually. Soon Mare found himself engulfed in a tornado of his own chakra spinning around him. “Alright… I think this will be enough chakra for the jutsu” said Mare as he pushed all the chakra he got into his hands. He began to focus all of his chakra onto the azure lake in front of him, and watch as he pulled some chakra into the pool, but still leaving some in his hands.

His hazel eyes would watch how the water reacted with the chakra into it. The water started to spin up and form a little tornado. Using the remanding chakra in his hands he would string up a series of hand seals in almost an instant. The water that was forming a mini tornado would soon form to a shape of a whip. Then using his chakra he would guide his whip into the air and into his hands. The grip of the whip was firm, and the whip seemed more stable than the other two. Then with a quick tug of his wrist, the whip would be sending towards the log and firmly grasping it. Then with a quick jerk up, Mare would send the log skyrocketing into the air. “Now to finish it” said Mare as he sent his whip to the flying log, and slamming it towards the ground. The impact of the log hitting the ground was so fierce that the log completely collapsed on itself from the sheer force.

“Great… now let me make the targets alittle more agile” said Mare with a smirk on his face. Gaining up his chakra by closing his eyes and focusing all of his energy around him, Mare would make the training a little more difficult. A small tornado of blue energy started to spin around him, but he didn’t need to gather as much chakra as before. Mare would then drop the water whip to his side, while he would perform multiple hand seals and the lake would start to bubble in five spots. Then in the water five water clones would jump forth as he finished his string of hand seals. “Alright… you guys come at me with the intention to kill… got” said Mare to the clones. “Got it” replied the clones to Mare. “Good” said Mare with excitement.

Then in almost an instant and in a flash the clones would jump up into the air, and throw multiple kunai at Mare. “Pathetic” smirked Mare and with a simple twitch of his hand his water whip would knock down all of the kunai coming his way. Then Mare with another flick of the wrist would send the whip in the direction of the clones hoping to hit some of them, but his attempt was futile as the clones easily dodged the whip with a simple shunshin. “Damnit…” Mare said to himself as the clones easily dodged his attempt. Then a wall of sand would come out of his gourd and protect Mare from the incoming attacks coming from all directions from the clones. “How did they get around me so easily… damnit… damnit to hell” yelled Mare as started to tap his feet to create a picture of were the clones are.

Using the sonar jutsu, Mare was able to tell were the clones were from all directions. He then would send a quick flick of his wrist to the right and the whip will go flying to the one of the clones. The clone who was startled that Mare found him so quickly got hit by the whip and was reverted back to his watery state. “Alright who is next…” smirked Mare as he spot a new clone throwing a kunai from the corner of his eye. Mare would send the whip to intercept the incoming kunai and send it back towards the clone and revert it back into water with a direct hit to the skull. “Three more to go”. Then two clones came from the trees and decided to strike from the opposite sides. The two clones would then throw to kunai from the right and left side of Mare respectively and attempt to kill him, but Mare flicked the whip to one of the kunai and grabbed and then threw it to negate the other one coming towards him. “Damnit…” replied the cones, but then in almost a second Mare would revert them back into water with a quick flick of the wrist. Then the last of the clones when to attack, but Mare grabbed it by the foot while it was in the air and started to rapidly spin it around in the air. Mare would spin the clone so fast that the clone would slowly revert back into water. “That was a good day of training… “ said Mare as he disbanded the whip to try out a new jutsu.

After training the other jutsu, Mare needed to learn more, and learn more fast if he wanted to become a great ninja of Ame. Mare put his chakra into the souls of his feet and them attempted to step on the water of the lake, but he didn’t work. He just stepped right through the water of the lake. “I need to add more chakra” he thought to himself with a grin. Mare then took a deep breath… closing his eyes and focusing his chakra into his body. He tried to stimulate this feeling… this burst that was trying to come out of him. He then started to gentally push this energy into the souls of his feet, but not all of it. He didn’t want to put too much or little of the chakra into his feet or the jutsu will fail him again. Then a couple of waves of chakra started to emit from his feet, and the grass started to move around. “Alright… now I know that I can do this” he said with a smile. When his foot hit he water it didn’t sink throw. The jutsu was a success Mare can now walk on water. Mare than started to run around and jump up around the water with glee. He had finished a basic step to master this jutsu.

Mare then walked to the center of the lake. This was an ideal condition to finish and learn the jutsu. This water base jutsu has to deal with the water element, and the giant wave will be easier to pull off with excess of water. “These are great conditions to use new jutsu” he said with a grin. He then rose his arms in the air slowly and grasped his hands together with a great force. His palms ached with an immense pain… but he had to deal with the pain. If he can put his mind over his pain this was the first step to organizing his chakra to complete the jutsu. He felt the surge of energy in the center of his chest. He then took a deep breath. The cool crisp air, made his longs have a nice sensation to him. Then he slowly exhaled and the cold air just burst out of his mouth making his mouth cool. The chakra in his body was slowly going across his body… there was a great heat spreading around him. “This energy… I never felt this amount of energy in my body before…” the boy said with a grin. He then started to push this energy to the far reaches of his body, he needed to gain some control on his chakra before he completes the jutsu.

He then started to then push the chakra into the palm of his hands and his finger tips. He slowly forced the energy out of his body. Yet some of the chakra was returning to their master, they were being pretty hard to control for Mare. He was about to send a great burst of chakra out of his body, but he didn’t want to overwhelm the water and make the jutsu fail. He slowly felt the warmth of the chakra leaving his body. It was slowly being forced out of his finger tips and into the water below. The area where he was focusing the chakra to started to have some ripple affects. Mare then knew the water was being charged with chakra after he saw the little patterns, and smiled with glee. But this accidental outburst of joy caused him to send an extra burst of chakra into the water. He felt a lot more chakra then he wanted leave his body, and noticed how large the ripples were getting in the water. He then took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down so that his emotions won’t get the better of him during this training again. Mare then looked down at the water, he knew it was time to start the attempt at the jutsu.

After the water was ready and filled with chakra it was time to get to business. Mare then started to perform a series of hand seals, his hand movements were rapid and quick. He then did the final seal and sent a burst of chakra towards the water expecting a huge wave. Instead all he got was a little wave, about the size that will be coming off a low speed motor boat. He knew that he needed to do better than that pathetic little attempt of a jutsu. What will his masters think if he couldn’t even make a 2 foot wave? He clinched his fist in anger… hoping that this will get him pumped up to complete the jutsu at full strength. “All right…” he yelled to himself. “One more time” he said as he clamped his hands together at a great strength. He then started to form his hand seals faster then ever. He was going to complete this jutsu in record time for his masters… his sensei’s. He then put his hands up to his chest with great speed and excitement to retry this jutsu.

Mare then started another string of hand seals. The fire in his chest was building up and the hand seals was its fuel. He then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, while he was about to form the final hand seal. Then it was formed, the last hand seal. His chakra was being shoved out of his body, and into the lake, to power up the jutsu. “This time its going to work… I can feel it in my blood” Mare exclaimed. Then the water started to form rippling affects and it started to bubble almost uncontrollably. Then a small wave of water rose up. The wave was keep on varying on sizes. On second it was about 4 feet the next is was two. At one point the wave was about 10 feet, but that was very short lived. The wave proved to be very unstable to Mare. “Great… at this rate it will take a while to get this jutsu done… and I have a rigorous schedule ahead of me” he said with a sigh. He knew that he needed to try again… to make his mentors proud of him.

Then the wave ultimately collapsed. Mare then took a deep sigh and started to form the required hand seals to redo the jutsu one more time. He then closed his eyes before he took the final seal. His chakra started to build up in him like crazy. He then pushed the force out of him when he opened his eyes. His hazel opticals viewed upon the bubbling water that was forming right in front of him. Then he slightly rose his right hand to about his shoulder length and the water rose up to be a 5 foot wave. This time the wave was different. It wasn’t unstable… it wasn’t changing sizes rapidly. Then a big grin came over Mare’s face. He knew that he was about to finish a weak version of this jutsu. Even though it is not even close to the real power he knew he was getting closer to his goal. He then pushed his right hand outward and the wave went forward a decent speed, but it quickly died out in about a couple of minutes. Mare then let out a deep sigh… he knew that more work was needed to be done to complete this jutsu.

Mare clenched his fist, took a deep breath… and let out a huge sigh. Then he closed his eyes and started to gather up his chakra. A huge burst of chakra then was emitted from him. A light blue aura was all around him, and his hair was lightly levitating in the sky. His eyes became an azure color instead of its usual hazel eye color. The rush he was feeling now was tremendous and amazing. He then started his first hand sign, and then the next in a slow pace hoping that he could do this correctly. Then the water in front of him started to bubble uncontrollable. A little twister started to form in the water, and a wave about seven feet in height rose from it. “I need to finish this jutsu” he said to himself as he finished the final sign and the wave went flying forwards at great speeds. This was a much better dud than the rests. He knew that he almost had this jutsu down because this one actually made it to shore. Then a little smirk appeared on his face… he was one step closer to his goal.

Then he started another go at this jutsu. But this time he did it with great haste, not wasting any time like he did before. Then a whirlpool formed, but unlike last time a wave appeared that was at least two feet bigger than the rest. He then sent the wave soaring forward, and the water hit the shore, displacing some of the sand on the lake’s edge. He saw some tiny fish flopping around on the shore gasping for air. “The technique is a lot stronger this time” he said with a grin knowing that he can send up tiny fish to the shore now with ease. Mare didn’t even break a sweat yet, but that wasn’t really a thing to be proud of just yet. He still hasn’t done a wave remotely to the power that it was described in the scroll. Then it dawned to him. The scroll!! That can help him master the jutsu. He the swiftly pulled out the scroll from his backpack and was eager to read it. The scroll gave him many tips on this jutsu, especially on how much chakra to be put into it. “That’s it” Mare exclaimed to himself.

The reason that he wasn’t able to pull off this jutsu because he didn’t put enough chakra into it during the first place. He then closed his eyes and began to focus with determination. His chakra started to build up around his body. A feint blue aura became engulf in him, but he didn’t want to hold this state for long. He then burst the chakra out of him. Every little piece that he gained at that moment was being pushed into the water. The water then started to bubble like crazy, he never seen something like this before. Then a giant wave of about twenty feet rose up from the water, and then Mare rose his hand up to his shoulder length. He then pushed his arm forward and the wave went thundering towards the shore. The wave finally hit the shore with a great destructive force. It was like a miny tidel wave. The wave took down trees, and other various foliage from its roots and shoot them out like they were nothing. Than when the water receded he noticed that there were tons of fish on the ground flopping around. “I finally done it…” he said with glee. “I finally unleashed the true potential of this jutsu”.

But the full power of the jutsu took alot of energy from Mare. Sweat started to beat off of his face and drop into he water below. The ripples it made seemed like little rain was falling off of his head. He then slowly reached in his bag and pulled out a little rag. He then slowly dipped the rag in water. Soon it became soaken wet. He then rose the damp cloth up to his forhead and wipped off all of the excess sweat on his head and brow. "I still have a lot of work to do if I want to become a great ninja of Amekage." he said with a grin as he looked up to the clear blue sky. The sun made a gorgerous affect on the water, the rays bouncing off of it was blinding. He then soon realized that his breake was over and it was time to train.

Mare's chakra reserves were nearly depleated and he had to focus some more up if he wants to have another succesfull go at this jutsu. He then took a deep breath, and the cool, crisp air rushed into his lungs filling every little crevese. The feel of this chilled air in his lungs where amazing and rejuvenating. He then exhaled a large sigh and the air exhailed his body as fast as it was inhaled. He then closed his eyes and began another set of deep breathing exercises. In about a good five to ten minutes this was all over. He then started to form another group of various handsigns, and he was ready to get back into the training. He needed just a little more time... just a little more time of training before the upcoming Chuunin exams.

Then chakra started to build up in his body. It was like a small little inferno was in his chest, and every second it was getting bigger and bigger. Pretty soon it will get too big for him, and it will just explode all out. But Mare couldn't let that happen. A good ninja never lets his chakra get the better of him. Right when he thought he gained enough chakra for the jutsu he just launched it right out of his body straight at the water infront of him. The water then started to bubble uncontrollably, and then the bubbling soon stoped. "Huh... did I add in too much chakra?" said Mare in curiosity. But he spoke too soon. His eyes then soon lit up upon the sight that was infront of them. At that moment Mare knew that he was destined to make Ame proud... he knew that with his help the council will make Ame enter a golden age. The sheer power of the object infront of him sent Mare in a state of shock;how could have he done this?

Infront of Mare was a large whirlpool with the width of about 10 feet. "The last wave was so destructive... but... but with only a whilpool that was one foot... 2 feet tops wide..." he said with a shocked impression on his face, but that quickly turned to a grin and a little laugh. He then rose his arm up slowly, about to his shoulder length, and watch the water react. Forming from the whirlpool a twister that was about ten feet long and five feet wide rose up from the water right in front of Mare. His eyes tried to look through it, but the water was way too thick and dense for him to see a single thing. He looked in awe at the magnificiant thing in front of him. It was so beutiful Mare thought... as he gazed into the twister when the sun was bouncing off it to produce a splended array of colors. He soon snapped out of it realizing his true goal was straight ahead of him.

He then took a deep breath, and sighed the air out. He slowly shut his eyeleds which closed all of the light off to his slender hazle eyes. He then quickly opened them and opened the palm of his hand. He then thrusted his arm forward and the whirlpool fused with the twister of water to create on giant wave. To Mare this was one beutiful and magnificiant display of polymazation. The wave that the two formed was about twenty feet wide, and about thirty feet tall. He then sent a punch into the air, signalling the wave forward. Then the wave went raging towards the shore like a mad bull. It created a crevese in the water that it went through. It was abosulte destruction in the process. Then the water was getting closer to shore, the shallow water infront of the shore was tossing up sand and rocks left and right like crazy.

Then Mare's eyes widened with delight. The giant wave hit the shore with a force to be reckoned with. He never seened this much destruction in his life. Rocks were being tossed left and right, and trees were being uprooted for about a mile. The water from the wave at least went for two miles. On the shore there was many fish of various sizes flopping up and down like crazy. In the air there were multitudes of different birds flying away from the area; wondering what was going on. There was tons of woodland creatures that got cought in the wave coughing up water, and wondering what happened. Many of them also got crashed into the nearby trees either knocking the trees over, or instantly killing/ wounding the animal. Sometimes even both. A grin of satisfaction went over Mare's face. He knew that finally... finally he compleated the true strength of the jutsu.

Mare needed more of a challenge when preforming this jutsu... a flare if you will. But he was stumped on how he could do this. He didn't know... but he knew he couldn't make alot more improvement by just doing the jutsu over and over again. Where's the pressure... the excitement? Then a brillent idea came over Mare's head... he knew what he had to do. Mare then started to form a various handseals, and from the water rose a water blob. Then the blob quickly formed a human-like shape, and pretty soon... before you know it the blob transformed into Mare. A water clone was born. "Alright... you are going to help me train with this jutsu... OK" yelled Mare at the water clone. "Yes sir..." yelled the water clone back at Mare. The training was about to start. Mare was about to start his true training regime.

Then the true fun started. Mare quickly started a string of handseals in conjuction with the clone. The clone also jumped back a good ten feet during the little "spar". Then a water dragon was launched a Mare, and a giant wave was launched at the clone. The two jutsu's where at great power, and they could be considered equals in power. The two jutsu's then quickly collided with each other, knocking each other out in the process. The force of the two jutsu's was immense. Water was being bursted out in all directions due to the power of the two jutsu's. The whole area was basically to thick to see from, with the water going everywhere. Then the water started to fall to the ground and the sight started to be clear again. Mare then let out a deep sigh... he was relived that nothing bad happened to him.

After the water dissapered. Mare noticed a figure infront of him. There it was... he seen something like this before... but where. He then noticed what it was... it was just the clone he created before, but something else was going towards him. He noticed that there was a giant water dragon charging straight towards him. Mare then jumped up into the air, and quickly dodged the water dragon. He then started a started a string of his own handseals and sent a wave flying towards the clone. Mare's eyes filled with antempatacion as he noticed the wave was about to hit the clone. But then despair went over him as the clone barely managed to launch a water dragon to negate the attack, rendering it useless. "Damnit..." yelled Mare in frustration. This clone was beggining to seriously piss Mare off. He knew that he need to land just a few more hits on it.

Then Mare heard just a laugh in the distance... he heard this laugh before... but where. He then started to form some handseals, but the clone beat him too the punce. Then sand from the gourd of the clone started to pour out and form around his arm. Pretty soon there was a giant arm attached to his body... this all seemed too familiar with Mare. Mare finally finished his string of handseals and a giant wave shot out from the water. The clone then sent a tremendous sandy punch at Mare. The sand in the punch sucked up all the water, but the sand was way too heavy for the clone to use, so it all just fell off, and sank to the bottom of the deep, dark lake. "I guess you don't like water" Mare said with a large grin on his face.

Then clone seemed to be imoblized at this moment, so Mare decided to take full advantage of it. Mare took a deep breath, he let the cool air fill his lungs. He need to rejuvenate his strength... he needed to badly get his strength back to par. He then closed his eyes... this was a risky move, but it was a way to channel his chakra. He then sent a burst of chakra foward. A light blue aura was all over his body, and ripples of water were all around him. His eyes turned to a bright white, and his hair gained a light blue tint to it. His hair was also sending up into the air gentally. He knew that he was back at full power, and it felt great. He then started a string of handseals... hoping that this jutsu will be the one to finish the job off.

Then the clones delaying had became clear to Mare. The clone then had more sand coming out of the gourd, and healing the other arm. In about the time it took Mare to gain his chakra the arm was fully healed. But there was more. During this time the clone already filled his other hand half way with sand. He was attempting two sand arm jutsu's. "Son of a bitch" yelled Mare in anger. He then attempted to finish of his handseals... hoping to cancel the process of the clone. Mare then sent a giant wave of water straight towards the clone at full speed. But it was too late. The clone had already made his second arm of sand. Using the arms of sand he was able to send them both at the wave, and negate the attack. Some of the sand from both arms were falling off, but it was no problem for the clone. He just added a little sand to both and they were good to go. Things were looking bad for Mare.

Mare then started another series of handseals, but when he was doing that the clone ran straight towards him at intense speeds. "This clone means buisness" he said with a smirk right when he finished the hand signs. The clone was about ten feet infront of him and he was about to send a punch at Mare, but a wave of water was shot out to block the attack. Mare then jumped up into the air and shot another wave of water straight towards the clone. This time the clone combined the two arms of sand together to form one massive arm. The arm then slammed into the water and blocked the wave with the utmost ease. Mare was stunned by the power of the clone.

Mare then started yet another string of handseals... hoping that this time that he will break through the defenses. The water below him started to bubble imensely. "Yes... yes..." Mare said to himself with glee. He knew that this time the giant wave was going to be sent at the clone... ready to knock the arms of sand away. Then a vortex of water formed, and the clone ran up to Mare and sent a punch to him. Mare jumped up onto the arm of sand and ran down it in great speed. He then manage to get to his face and kick it with great force. The cloned was stunned for a little bit. This was great news for Mare, as the water jutsu he had in store for the clone was almost compleate. Then the wave started to rise. It was huge, ten feet wide, twenty feet tall.

The clone knew that he couldn't hold off a jutsu like that. He then sent the sand to protect his face, and other areas... he knew he couldn't defend this with ease. Then Mare just slowly moved his arm to his shoulder length... and sent then punched out into the air. This was a sure tell sign that he was going to send this guy into oblivion. Mare then sent the wave flying towards the clone. The clone tried to block it with his sand arms, but the water just ripped right through that like they were paper. It then hit the clone straight on in the chest. "Yes..." Mare said to himself as he saw the wave crash right into the shore. There were destruction everywhere there... he was almost done with this jutsu. Though he didn't know if the clone survived or not... but he needed to make sure.
