18/30

After continuing to drill forth through the mossy field of grass, deep within the rainforest in the Hidden Rain Village. Kouga now wanted to stop his piercing fang and start back from the beginning to attempt to try something new with his training exercise. As he drilled forward, Kouga stopped spinning and flipped over onto his feet. ”Stop Haimaru”, Said Kouga as he signaled Haimaru to come over to where he located. Hearing the commands of his master, Haimaru also stopped drilling and flipped over onto his feet in his beast human form copy of Kouga. ”Alright Haimaru, I want us to now practice striking out opponents together and separately using the Double Piercing Fang Technique. Lets just practice striking those hitting dummies over there and some of the trees in the area” Said Kouga as he pointed over toward the dummies he wanted to practice on as well as the trees he wanted to strike. Meanwhile, Haimaru glances over and nodded in response to what his master said.

Meanwhile, Kouga began to stroll across the field of mossy grass and plants with Haimaru following behind him. Then Kouga suddenly stopped with twenty (20) feet distance away from the chosen dummies and target trees across the field in front of them. Then Kouga hunched over and kneeled down and got into a dog-like stance of sorts, as Haimaru copied. ”Double Piercing Fang!” Shouted Kouga as both himself and Haimaru charged forward toward the standing dummies. There were two dummies in particular that Kouga and Haimaru had chosen for their first victims. Kouga chose the dummy standing on his right while Haimaru chose the dummy standing to his left.

As both charged toward the dummies at a very fast rate of speed, they both began to spin at the exact same time which was due to their good teammate and bond they have with each other. Performing the piercing fangs at the same time created the double piercing fang. Performing the technique at the same time, they began to focus on gathering enough speed and then maintaining that achieved speed throughout the entire technique. After several seconds of travel at a very high speed, they both managed to achieve the same speed as each other. They both began to get used to the upgraded speed that they were traveling throughout the technique. Traveling at their insane speed, they both quickly neared the target dummies ahead of them. The amazing part was that they had continued to maintain the same speed and control the speed and their direction without even realizing it. As both already gotten used to gathering up speed within a time range limit and maintaining it without and with little strain and concentration.

Approaching their target dummies ahead of them, Kouga slowly began to move just several inches toward his right as his goal was to strike the dummy in the very center, as well as for Haimaru. Moving toward his left, Haimaru also focused on striking the dummy in the very center. Continuing the drill forward in their insane rate of speed, Kouga struck the dummy with all of his force and speed. Haimaru would also strike his dummy with all of his force and speed, as both the dummies were hit directly in the center of the target in the chest. As both Kouga and Haimaru struck the dummies dead center, the dummies actually took several seconds to be riped apart. Due to the fact that the amount of force that struck the dummies at a very fast rate of speed, the dummies actually began to spin with Haimaru and kouga as if they had gotten stuck on them. Spinning along with Kouga and Haimaru, the dummies figure and human shape form became a blur as they spun at insane speed. Then suddenly, both the dummies were completely ripe to pieces as the dummies body parts and stuffing were launched in every direction. The force that both Kouga and his partner Haimaru struck the dummies had left nothing left of them.

Being completely ripe to pieces, Kouga and Haimaru couldn’t just stop there on the dummies, they quickly decided to move along toward the trees and strike them next. Deciding not to stop on the dummies, Kouga and Haimaru continued to move in their drill-like motion and charged directly toward the two trees behind the torn apart dummies. Already being near the trees, Kouga and Haimaru charged forward with all of their might and power, as they approached the trees. Approaching the trees, Kouga and Haimaru lunged forward and struck the trees with all of their power and speed they had gathered up. As the two trees been struck by the double piercing fangs, a loud smashing noise could be heard throughout the area, as the noise echoed through the forest. The double piercing fang managed to actually drill directly though the two trees, as both Kouga and Haimaru stopped drilling, only a small piece of the tree remained left as a hole could be seen on the trees. Seeing what they had done and realized that the tree was about to fall, both Kouga and Haimaru stepped to the side of the trees and crossed their arms. After crossing their arms, the two trees slowly began to tip over, as Kouga's eyes quickly widen from the shock of what their training could do. After several seconds, the trees slammed against the ground, causing an extremely loud noise to echo throughout the entire rainforest of the Hidden Rain Village.

Almost there!

[Shikaku]

As the tree was knocked over by the powerful force of the double piercing fang, Kouga began to think to himself. "What else could I do to train this technique? Maybe I could do the double piercing fang with Haimaru on a large boulder and do some combination work with the double piercing fang technique.” Said Kouga as he spoke out loud to himself. Meanwhile, Kouga began to stroll across the field of mossy grass and search around for a boulder or some sort of large earth. Afetr several minutes of searching through the trees, Kouga spotted a very large boulder just eight (5) meters away from where his sensei and teammate are currently training. Spotting the boulder, Haimaru followed Kouga to the position and stood side by side next to him. Standing next to each other, Kouga kneeled down to one knee so his partner Haimaru could jump off his back. After kneeling down, Haimari took several steps back and then charged forward. After charging forward, Haimaru jumped onto his back then jumped off Kouga’s back and into the air. Jumping into the air, Kouga then began to charge toward the boulder on the ground. As both Haimaru and Kouga was in position to strike and use the double piercing fang technique from two different angles on the boulder. ”Double Piercing Fang! Shouted Kouga as both himself and Haimaru began to spin together at the exact same time. After spinning, both Kouga and Haimaru neared the large boulder and were ready to strike the boulder with all their force. Both Kouga and Haimaru were spinning at a very high rate of speed, which would be considered insane and advance at the rank of genin. As Haimaru dropped down back to earth while Kouga continued to charge, they neared and struck the large boulder at the exact same time. Haimaru aimed for the top of the boulder while Kouga aimed for the front of the large boulder. Suddenly, the large boulder could be seen vibrating from a distance away. As they struck the boulder at the same time, a very loud drilling noise echoed through the forest. They couldn't just stop as they struck the boulder, Kouga and Haimaru continued to drill at the boulder. Then suddenly, the drilling noise paused as the echoing had stopped. As both stopped drilling, both took a step back as Haimaru jumped off the boulder and Kouga backed away from it. Taking several steps back, they stopped to witness what they had done to the boulder and the damage they dealt upon it. Gazing at the boulder, the top and side of the boulder had a very hole of a drilling fashion within the size of five to six feet in diameter. Continuing to watch what they had done, the boulder would quickly begin to release what looked to be smoke that was coming from the boulder at two different sides of the boulder. Suddenly, a sign of relief came out of Kouga’s mouth as a poof of smoke developed over Haimari, as the Beast Human Clone Technique was canceled. As the Beast Human Clone Technique was canceled, Haimaru returned back to his normal appearance of an Eastern Timber Wolf. After transforming back to normal, Kouga kneeled down and picked up Haimaru as they both began to walk back to the meeting point where his sensei and teammate awaits.

Space things out please though, much easier to read that way.

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC, damn, i take one day off and both kouga and kazuya beat me at my game, oh well, this is a surpisingly boreing technique to learn))

Tired form his last self massacure, Zaguto sat down for a quick rest, he checked his competion, the kid with the dog looked like they had already learned a wierd technique while he was still fighting his clone, he looked for the 'robe guy' and saw two of them, he guess it was a clone technique or his own exhastion but iether way he had lost, 'Well, good thing i did'nt wager anything.' thought Zaguto.

He returned to his feet, humbled by his defeat at the hands of his team mates, he figured he's should keep it simple, he looked around for someplace which still had usable targets and dummies, when he had found a good row of them he gathered his kunai and hooked his dai shuriken back into their harness, he picked up his almost empty scroll and put it back into his weapon pouch and took out a bigger C rank weapon scroll, he performed a few handseals and the scroll rose out of his hand, unfurled itself and hung in midair by his side, he ran both hands down its exposed seals and collected the weapons held within, he prepared his shot, estimating range with his depth perception, alltogether he had eight kunai, he chose his eight targets, two were forty meters away, four were between twenty and ten meters away, the last two of these were dummies about fifteen meters away, he would aim for one head shot and one wound shot.

His eyes darting from one target to then next untill he had all their positions coordinated in his head, when he felt at last ready his right arm darted from his side to his left, one of the kunai released from his grip it sliced through the air and made its deadly way towards the furthest target, a second later it landed in its intended destination, the mind battered it to the left, but he had already compensated for it and it only served to straighten the kunai to its target, Thunk, it had its painted victem in the center, a great hit, but rather than stop to appreciate it he arced his right arm again and let another kunai slip from his hand at a target about twelve meters away, at that kind of distance wind did'nt have much of a chance to affect his aim, but he underestimated it overall effect, it threw the deadly weapon off from the bullseye but just hit the edge of the red circle, 'I wont miss because of that again.' he dared himself he left hand snapped around and let two kunai fly out, one headed towards one of the dummies, the target was large but anything less than a bullseye would be an insult to a weapon specialist, aiming for a headshot the kunai cut through wind before it cut through its victem, learning to compensate for even the smallest amount of wind he had sent to kunai straight into the straw mans face and immbedded into the tree behind it, other kunai he threw was heading toward the target he had 'missed' earlier, it was a straight shot, suited to cut through the wind that fouled up his last attempt this one hit the target next to the first, but right on the bullseye like it should.

Three down, five left, he was'nt trying for fun but he had found a seriousness that even surprised him, he tried to do the wound shot next, the dummies did'nt have a proper target for this kind of shot, be he knew where the lungs and heart were and the digestive system, he figured though that a shot to the sacred knees should be a good incapacitation, he decided where the straw knees would be on the uncomplicated dummy and sent a kunai from his left hand truly find it, he threw it with strength to resist the winds influence and was rewarded when the straw mans 'knees' were sliced in half sending a bundle of falling onto the ground, four left, his mind was sharper than usual, as though it had taken in a bit of his chosen weapons, he eyed the last forty meter target, he was'nt sure how much compensation to use, the wind was picking up now and too much or too little would waste his shot, he went over the new situation in his mind, a minute he thought about it but he came to a decision, he widened his stance and pulled his arm far behind him, in one swift movement he catapulted the kunai, putting his whole arm into it, the kunai shot like a missile towards it's far target, it cut through the air so quickly the growing gusts around it had the smallest effect, with a loud crack of splintering wood the weapon had hit its target and thensome, going right through the wooden board and into the tree behind it.

Three left, all between eighteen or fourteen meters, he picked another kunai out of the hovering scroll and prepared for one last flurry of steel, he was going to try and hit all three at once, he had two in his left hand and one in his right, he had to know where each was going to go, he chose the furthest extreme and middle one for the two in his left hand and the closest for the one in his right, he took a breath in and out, he was'nt going to be able to do much compensation but he hoped what he could do was going to be enough at this distance, in a flash his hands straightened and swung together into an X and his hands freed the kunai they held, the three weapons spread out, the closest was a bullseye, it was'nt in midair long enough for wind diversion, the middle one was throw slighly to the left of the bullseye as he knew it get just enough diversion be a direct hit, his guess was proven right when he successfully impaled the targets center, the last one, right from the get go Zaguto knew he tried to much with this one, it was to far left for the divesion it needed, in his mind Zaguto was frustrated that he stuffed up the last shot, the kunai hit the target, something normally call a success but just the fact that it was'nt a 100% bullseye made Zaguto sick of target practice, "Bloody hell." he said out loud.

Displacement
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The subject of this Jutsu appears to be about two feet away from its true location.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: This technique does not work on those who are two or more classes stronger then that of the user, or if they are considered to be one higher of a specialist then that of the user. Such as a Non Specialist can't use this on a Specialist or Master, and a Specialist is unable to use this on a master.
Description: The subject of this Jutsu appears to be about two feet away from its true location. The creature benefits from a 50% miss chance as if it had. This technique makes it seem as if the user is one place, but in actuality is only two feet to the left, or to the right.
Limit: Must know Glamor Perception.

Now that he had the Mizu Bunshin out of the way, he would need to work more on his Genjutsu techniques. This was going to be what set him apart from the other divisions when he decided to go out for AnBu, something that would ensure that he was a prime canadite. AnBu was not the only test that loomed ever closer, the Chuunin exams were coming up as well and he would be obligated to attend simply because he was of the proper requirements or so he heard. Making hand seals now, Kazuya would summon a Water clone at his will to do his bidding, he would need assistance with learning this technique. Nodding his approval at the water clone, he would begin once more to focus, Genjutsu required alot of concentration. Making a single seal, Kazuya would prepare the chakra within, able to feel the gentle winds ripple about him. Chakra was a force of nature, and as such sometimes nature responded.

Slowly he would envision the technique, he was to cast displacement upon himself. He would be able to confuse the enemies by appearing to be somewhere that he was not, however it was not by a great amount that he would be displaced. There were many key advantages to this however, and one would be the aim of his opponent. This technique would severaly cripple their ability to make proper judgement upon where he stood, something that would make sure he was safe from projectiles. Forming hand seals now, Kazuya would gather his chakra. Each seal would mold the life energy within perfectly as he channelled it outwards towards his clone. The point of this was to trap the clone within the sphere of his chakra, however his teamates would be trapped as well should they come close to him at all at any point within his training. Next he would attempt to disrupt the clones senses, mainly sight.

It was one thing to cast an illusion over ones self, however it was a whole 'nother game when it came to using it on others. There was no true way to tell right off that the Genjutsu had worked, he could only guess that he would have to take a chance and test how things were. With a nod, he would signal to the clone that it was time to attack, and with that he would remove the Ninjato from it's sheath. Moving forth swiftly, it would come at him with the intent to kill, and that was when he'd take notice of his features. Did he always look so cold and focused when he was preparing to take a life? In a way it was almost frightening to be able to see yourself doing something that you gave little thought to. It was his job, so he did not lose sleep over it, however the look was haunting. Shaking it off, he would prepare himself by removing his own Ninjato in preparation to defend himself in case things went wrong here.

As the clone closed in, he would raise his blade just to chest level as he watched it's movements carefully. Swiftly it would cross the terrain, moving over the puddles as if they were nothing to him. Kazuya would slide his left foot back, preparing a powerful block just in case of emergency. At the last moment, Kazuya would suddenly notice something that was off, of course he should have seen it before. The clone seemed to be looking dead at him, not fooled by his little trick which was comfirmed with a loud ring. The sound of steel against steel would ring out over the area as he grunted within the deadly lock. Had he used too little chakra? Or perhaps was it impossible to catch the water clone within such Genjutsu? Perhaps that was it, however he doubted that it was. Maybe he would just have to start from scratch, he did miss a step without realizing it however. The most fundamental step in all visionary Genjutsu, remember to focus on what you were projecting.

"Keep up the work guys, you're doing great.."

Not willing to end on a failure Zaguto figured he needed to fix his last attempt, he took out four kunai from the flouting scroll beside him, two in each hand, he aimed for the same targets as before, this time he wanted to knock out the first ones, the extra one to end up in the bullseye of the furthest target, he steadied his breath and estimated the timing and angle he needed to throw the kunai at so that they could resist the wind taking them off course, he held his hands down by his side, tensing them for his next strike.

Half a minute goes by as he prepares himself, then without warning his hands sprung out and crossed his chest in and X then swung out and realesed the deadly weapons, he had thrown them with enough power that he needed little compensation for wind, the closest hit its target with a loud Ting and sent the previous kunai spiralling into the ground, the middle ursurped its target much like the first only accidentaly sending the old kunai up into a higher branch where it got stuck, the last to kunai in midair both flew towards the further target, both close together like two birds of prey, simultainoisly they both hit their targets, one kunai struck its shamed brother and took its place at the edge of the wooden circle, the other, with more power than before, and with the throwers determination not to miss this shot twice, hit the painted center circle and split the moss ridden wood into two pieces which split apart and fell to the ground, the kunai stayed imbedded within the tree behind the target, 'Yeah, let that be a lesson.' thought Zaguto to the bisected target.

He walked over to his firing range to pick up his used weapons, he knew he'd just have to reseal them all when he got home, as if it was leaving now that its work were done the wind seemed to calm down and lose strength, he carried the kunai non-formally back to his little training spot amongst the other two, he did'nt want to intrude though, Zaguto mood seemed to change from what it was just a while ago, a wierd sense of pride and seriousness had taken him over when he was hitting the targets, he shrugged and let it go, he'd had enough of weapon training, he sat down and tried to think of a technique he read that mroning before arriving at the meeting place.

[Matsu]

[10 - 20]

He had failed to trap the clone within the displacement technique, however for some reason he had seen this coming. Perhaps the chakra he was outputting was not enough for such a feat, the only feasible reason he could come up with for such a failure. That was when he decided that he would try once more, and this time mentally project the image of displacement to his opponent. Forming hand seals, Kazuya would slowly start to gather the power of chakra, the clone would step back a few paces as it watched, knowing what was coming. There was purpose within his eyes now, he finally unlocked the final reason he took forever to train within the Genjutsu aspect of his abilities. Each and every seal had an effect on the chakra, the image witin his own mind. Slowly he would let his eyes drift closed as he gave a soft grunt to the clone. This was the signal the attack was to begin once more, so the clone would spring backwards in several flips before preparing a charge, then doing so.

Kazuya would hold the last thought of the clone within his minds eye as he started the projection. With the final seal, his chakra would be unleashed like a water exploding from beyond a dam. Within seconds the area would become flooded with his own chakra, once again making it hard for the others to approach him without suffering from the displacement. The clones foot steps would echo within his head as he managed to put together and image from this, the clone was charging head on again with a sort of blood lust. Perhaps by killing it's master the clone would be freed, however they both know it did not work that way. With little time to do much, Kazuya would then start to reconstruct the scene within his mind. As if he was directing an action film, he would seemingly move himself to the left by a foot or so. However as he did so in his mind, the image of himself still remained in place, the real world mimicking the mind.

Outside the mind of Kazuya, the clone would be none the wiser as it approached with amazing speed. Raising it's Tanto above it's head, the clone would give a gutteral battle cry as it lowered the blade with amazing speed and accuracy. This blow could have easily cleaved into someones skull, however Kazuya had no fear. If it was his time to die, he would do so without any regret for the life he lived. However the biggest surprose at all would be what he would recieve. Instead of finding himself in the flames of hell, he would remain inside his own mind, the scene he had created. He would hear the swishing sound of a blade pass only a few feet to his right. The technique had been a complete success, the clone would quickly step back, bemused by what had just happened. A knowing smile would spread on Kazuya's face as he dispelled the technique.

Opening his eyes, he would take note that the clone was standing exactly two feet to his right, he had managed it almost flawlessly. With one swift movement he would remove his own Ninjato and approach the clone who would bow and stand down as he was slashed. Into a puddle the clone would be dispersed as Kazuya would then sit down upon his perch and reflect upon the technique. He could think of many uses for this technique. "So instead of simply casting it forth, it's easier to project the events within my own head.." he stated to himself as he scratched his head. This would give him alot of helpful insight into what he had just done. A genjutsu was to be projected outwardly, not just cast about carelessly like a Ninjutsu. The user must obtain complete focus and control over the sphere of chakra they omit so that they can more completely envelope the mind of those they seek to undo.

Limit: Earth Release

After his little rest from taijutsu and thinking for a while he remembered his original plan to learn a couple of mud based earth jutsu, as a change from his usual water based jutsu, kind of, he got up and made a few handseals "Mud field jutsu." he said aloud and he slammed his hands onto the ground, the mossy and branch ridden forest floor suddenly churned and turned into a ten meter ring of mud around Zaguto, giving him ample material for his first attempt.

He plodded out of the thick mud circle and tried to think up a way to get this jutsu to work, built up his chakra inside his chest, ready to send it into the ground, he brought his hands together and made the handseals: dog, rat, and said "Mud piller jutsu." he sent his chakra down through his legs and into the muddy ground, he tried to bind it with the earth, connecting to the stubborn element, then in one stronge push he pulled his chakra up and out of the mud, in a dissapointing little mud bubble that went plop when it reached the surface, 'Gross.' thought Zaguto, but he still had to struggle not to get a childish smirk on his face.

The joke over he prepared for another try, hopefully with better results, he took some time to build up some chakra, a bit more than before, and then brought his hands together and made the required handseals, he sent this chakera coursing through the ground and underneath the mud, he made his chakra concentrate on a one particuar area and to control the mud underneath it, he imagined an opponent above the area of mud he was trying to control, he felt his chakra connect with the earth and then again he tried forcing all the mud out of the surface in a piller, his extra effort resulted and a small spout of mud that shot up about twenty centimeters before falling once again, annoyed Zaguto could'nt work out why it was'nt working quite so well, to him it seemed like he was doing what was described.

Suddenly he remember'd about when he learnt the moving mud field technique, that he needed to control both the water and earth, with this he built up his chakra for a while, brought his hands together and made the two handseals and sent his chakra down under the muds surface, when it had reached its target point he sent it deeper underground, then he bound his chakra into its surrounding, some into the water and some into the earth, then both together, he could feel this attempt was more effective than before, in one strong motion he willed the mud upwards, forcing his chakra and its mundane trappings upwards and out of the surface, mud gloriously spouted up out of the field about two meters in the air before falling to the ground once again.

Gratefull for his progress, and at the same time a little ashamed, he figured all that was left was left was to add some more power to when he released his chakra above ground, he built up more chakra, some more than before, he made the handseals: dog boar, and sent his chakra down into the ground and mud, when it had reached the point he wanted to use he sent it deep underground and connected with both the water and earth within, creating a mix of chakra and mud, he held it there for a second, increasing his power and control over the bi element, in one fast movement he forced his will one the mud and chakra and forced it up and into the sunlight, the raised higher up into the air up to a hight of a great ten meters before losing momentum and falling back down, Zaguto felt a mix of accomplishment and embarrassment at this jutsu

((OOC some parts of the jutsu description are pretty vague, if i misinturpeted it let me know))

??/10tp

Partially because he figured he needed a bit more practice with this jutsu, but also mostly because he thought it'd look cool, he went out looking for a straw dummy to use the mud piller jutsu on, finding one that had been hidden from his view behind a nearby tree he picked it up and threw it into the mud field, its wieght making a small splash when it hit the surface, he walked oround the mud field back to his prior spot, it offered the best view around the forest terrain around him.

He built up his chakra and brought his hands together and made the handseals: dog rat, and sent his chakra down into the mud around him, it swam towards his straw target, when it had reached its intended victem it spread down under it and began binding itself to the water and earth, he blended it all together and built up pressure beneath the surface, in one fast movement he released the pressure and the mud fissure beneath the dummy rose higher and higher, taking the dummy with it, when the piller had gotten as high as it would go, ten meters, the dummy continued upwards and flew another meter itself before gravity pulled it back down into the horrible mud with a comical 'Splidge', Zaguto struggled to stop an immature snigger, he calmed down enough to try for another attempt.

Quickly going through building up his chakra, gradually using less and less the more he got used to manipulating the mud itself, he brought his hands together and repeated the handseals, his chakra went down into the mud and beneath the straw dummy, he ordered his chakra to take hold of the elements and built up power beneath the mud fields surface, he held the pressure for longer now, building up more power, in one move he released it and the closest thing to a piller shot out of the ground and lifted the dummy up into the air, it was a surreal sight to behold, so much strength was released the dummy flew up twice as high as before when the piller collapsed, it rose so high it got caught in the rainforests canopy and did'nt come done, Zaguto knew it was a rather ridiculous jutsu, but it still looked incredably cool to him.

As Kouga and Haimaru began to walk back to the meeting point location in the rainforest, Kouga strolled and quickly reached the large log that was knocked down and used to rest on. As he approached the log, Haimaru jumped off Kouga's arms and landed on the log. After landing on the log, Haimaru spun around a bit before lying back down on the log to rest. Meanwhile, Kouga performed a hand seal, canceling the Four Legs Technique since the technique was still in effect on him the entire time. Then Kouga sat on the log himself, thinking on the next technique he should learn since he knew that both his sensei and his teammate was still training themselves. Thinking to himself for a few long seconds, Kouga figured out what technique he should learn. Kouga figured that he should continue on with the advance version of double Suicide Decapitation Technique and learn the Underground Fish Projection Technique. Figuring out what technique he was going to train, he got up and began to take a stroll off the far left of the field so he could continue training and grow stronger. After walking to the left side of the field, Kouga stretched his fingers and began to perform a set of hand seals; Dragon, Rabbit, Rat, Ox, Snake.

After performing the required hand seals, "Underground Fish Projection." Said Kouga as he slowly began to channel his chakra from his central core and transfer it to his legs and feet. First, Kouga began to slowly channel and focus his chakra from his central core and transfer the chakra through his stomach and into his hips. Then slowly, Kouga then began to transfer his chakra from his stomach and hips and focus his chakra into his legs. Then, Kouga slowly continued to transfer his chakra from his legs into his feet. Finally as his chakra reached the certain point in his feet, Kouga began to contain and build his chakra up instead of releasing it. Slowly with every second that would sweep by, Kouga's chakra was being continued to be channeled into his feet, building stronger and more concentrated chakra. As he continued to build and store up more chakra on his legs, Kouga decided that all the current amount of chakra that was stored up would be enough to perform the technique with success. Deciding that its alright, Kouga began to slowly release some of the chakra that he had stored up into the earth below him. Continuing to slowly release small amount of some of the chakra he had built up for a while, Kouga’s body slowly began to sink into the earth as if he was standing on quicksand. As his body began to sink into the earth, Kouga continued to pump chakra into the ground beneath him, as his feet slowly began to disappear into the earth. Continuing to pump more chakra into the earth, his legs began to further disappear as he was now up to his knees in the earth.

Continuing to sink into the earth, he already knew what is the amount of chakra required to be completely become sunk into the earth, since he had mastered the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique. Knowing what the required amount of chakra is, he wasn’t worried if he didn’t used the exact amount of chakra required to be in the earth at the correct level. After a few seconds of pumping chakra into the earth, Kouga surprised that he was sinking so easily and without any setbacks or errors on the technique as of yet. After a few seconds, Kouga was now up to his chest in the earth, as he slowly began to sink and become one with the earth. Then, Kouga began to release the last amount of chakra required to get into the earth, as he hoped that the rest of the chakra he stored up would be the correct amount to travel in the earth as if it was water.

Releasing the last bit of chakra, Kouga was then quickly sucked into the earth as he was completely within the earth. Now his next task was to use his chakra to travel within the earth. Slowly, Kouga began to release some of his chakra from his body out into the surrounding earth. As the chakra was released into the earth, the surrounding earth became to become like Jell-O. Slowly, just a small portion of the earth on Kouga’s left began to become like Jell-O, as he didn’t released the correct amount of chakra in an even and balance nature throughout the earth surrounding him.

When he gave up on trying to get the straw dummy back down from the forest's canopy he looked down at the large mud field around him, he had another mud technique to learn, he went over it in his head, the mud clone, possibly one of the most usefull types of clone, thier durablity and ability to use other mud jutsu justified his learning the mud piller, they'd be perfect for keeping enemy's away from the original so he can use his weapons without interruption.

He stood at the edge of the mud field, he was going to use what he knew about the water clones to help forming these, but all the same clones were usually tricky to do, he prepared his chakra brought his hands together and made the required handseals, once he was done he released his chakra down into the mud, he wanted to start off building one for now, his charka pulled the material together, tighter and tighter compacting it, his breathing slowed as he concentrated on the mound of mud forming an the surface, it slowly started to grow bigger and bigger, it was the furthest thing from a clone and was taking alot of concentration to keep it together, suddenly when he realised he had'nt taken a breath in almost thirty seconds he took once quick gasp of air, the momentary diversion made the lump of mass deflate and lose much of its size, he had to force his chakra to try and regather much of the lost mud, it slowly grew once more, when it had reached the hight of half a meter he figured before he ends the jutsu he'll try and make a limb, he redirected some of the mud that was compating in the mounds 'torso' and spread it up to the right hand side, it looked like a wierd tree stump growing a new branch, slowly the redirected mud grew out the side and poked out defiently, some of the mud was begining to drip off as his chakra fought gravity, tired of his little progress he released the jutsu and the mound of mud was once again missable amongst its place of origen.

He thought about taking it slower this time, making sure he's efficiently using his chakra to motivate the earth, he built up more chakra and made the handseals, he released his chakra down into the ground and into the mud, it spread out and he bound it to its surrounding mundane component, he then ordered some of his chakra to compact itself, bringing its mud with it, to wards the surface, again a mound of mud, growing like some tumor, forced its way to the surface, as he gathered more and more mud and added it to the mound it gradually grew bigger, swelling with his chakra, he let it simply grow for a while, the more chakra that was inside it the more he coudl control it when he needed to, when it again reached about half a meter in hight he dicided he'd try making the limb again, when some of the mud beneath the surface was sent to the growing clone he directed it to the top righthand side, the 'limb' gave the mound a lopsided look, like a budding horn he gradually shaped it with his chakra, growing out further and further from its body, as the mound continued to grom so did the arm, eventually when it was more than fifteen centimeters in length he tried to make it and elbow, it peaked and then started to dip, by then the mound was sixty centimeters tall, not far from half Zaguto's hight, but when he made the elbow it was simply to much, the mud was'nt yet strong enough to hold a complex shape, the whole arm collapsed and fell down into the ground, the extra effort wasted, the collection of growing mud also shivered but when Zaguto used his now free concentration to fixing this it once again became still, he continued making the mound taller.

The progress was slow and was'nt easy, but a minute or two later and he had it just past half his hight, however, it was still just a formless mass of earth, once he figured he had it at half hight he stopped, now he wanted to give it proper limbs, he tried to make a proper torso shape instead of the tiny hill he had now, he tried keeping the center steady as he diverted the mud from the sides into a torso shape, it started making a somewhat rectangular shape, slowly morphing into a amatuerish mud scuplture, just when it looked like he might have it the mud construct had become too thin, it top leaning back and folding down onto the ground, the rest of the body followed and its etirety melted back into its surrounding, not surprised it did'nt really work he found a reletivly moss free rock and had a lilttle sit down to recuperate and regain some chakra.

((OOC could we juat say that the rainforest meeting place is a rainforest just outside the village of rain, since a while back in village discussion we were saying how the village is more like the one you see pein looking down at, a big crazy metropolis, so the forest could be more of an outskirts thing))

And with that, Kazuya would vanish in a flash of Rain droplets, gone to wherever it was that he went. Many new things on his mind, many tasks to get out of the way.
