This warm, rainy day, one lone ninja left the park, and set out for the river. The wind whipped around and around, he merly laughed at it, for it could not hurt him. He had finally mastered his technique, and nothing could stop him. But as he walked, he felt, a twinge of sadness. His friends were probably going to the Chuunin exams, while he was stuck here. He could go if he wanted to, he just didn't. That was it, he told himself, and he continued to walk away. Thoughts of his friends carried him all the way around the village, as he explored and pondered what to do with the day. He had it all to himself, and he couldn't care less. But as he thought of his friends, he thought about their last adventure together. He had been utterly useless, while his friends had fought together bravely. His actions might have saved them, but he was still a coward for getting help from others. He lamented his actions greatly, and he wished he had the strength to stand up to the ninja and fight with his allies. He opened his eyes, and looked around.

Lightning crackled above his head, and the rain poured down on him. He sighed, and looked down. He was standing on the edge of a cliff, and the forest loomed many feet below him. He half-laughed, for it was lucky that he had stopped, yet he was depressed enough he didn't care if he fell off. He was tempted to try it, just to see if he survived. He sighed, turned his body in a different direction. He saw a cave in a nearby stone face, and he half-heartedly walked towards it. He was amazed when he stepped inside. There was a huge pool of water, and surrounding it were skeletons of many different creatures. Sapphire-blue crystals shined above. There was a small hole in the top of the cavern. The rain trickled down it, and dropped into the pool with a plop. The rain must have gathered here over hundreds of years, creating this vast expanse of water. He stepped onto it, with the reflexive trickle of chakra to keep himself afloat. He continued to gape at the wonder that this cave was.

A thought occured to him. This would be a perfect place to hone his skills. He had wanted to keep his scrolls for summoning, but this was an exeption. He withdrew his C-Rank and stared at it. He sighed, and withdrew something to write with from his bag. He thought about what he was going to write, and then it came to him. He scribbled down his idea, then got to work. He unstrapped the spear from his back, twirled it around, then tossed it into the air. He formed a few handseals, then caught it. The water below him bubbled, then smashed him in the face. He caught himself, and stood up. Okay, wrong handsign combination. Maybe the doton seal wasn't a very good first choice. He tried again, this time using bird. It worked a little bit better, but he still was sprawling on the water. This pattern continued for a few more minutes, until he finally got some to work. He wrote those seals down, and then tried again.

He held his spear in his hands, and made the handsigns for bird, dragon, rat, ram, ox, dog, bird. The water below him fluidly moved up and wrapped itself around the spear. That was step one. He then moved the water, slowly, but surely, around the weapon. He kept this churning motion up, strengthening it each time with the momentum of of the last rotation. Finally, it was spining at a good pace. He held the spear at arm's length, wondering what to do next. He spotted a nearby crystal, and turned to face it. He held his spear up, then, with a burst of chakra for speed, he hurled it at the crystal. The result was dismal. It splashed and the spear bounced off.

He retrieved his weapon, and went back to the center. That could have gone better. He tried again. He created the handsigns, and then grabbed his weapon. The water rose once more, and he turned it quickly. He soon worked up another spiral. This time, he focused more chakra into the spinning, and it looked better than before. He hurled it at the crystal, pushing it with chakra. It's spinning didn't help much, once again it bounced off. He glared, then retrived it again.

Maybe, giving it a tip would work? He made hansigns again, and molded his chakra. The water grabbed the spear, and he oscilated it until it continued to spin without much assistance. He focused on the top of his spear, making the spinning water create a shining point. He hardened it with chakra, and synced it with the rest of the vortex. He lifted it up, and flung it forward with a burst of chakra. This time, it's aim was true. It stuck fast in the crystal, and drilled in two extra inches. Room for improvement was great, but it wasn't bad.

As he pulled the spear from the crystal, he heard a noise from the back of the cave. A huge creature stood in the entryway, snarling and growling angrily. It look perplexed for a moment, then charged at Arkai, who acted on instinct. He jumped over the animal, and turned to face his opponent. It lifted a huge claw and swiped at him. He ducked under it, and kicked the creature in the stomach. It had a hard stomach, and he was forced to retreat under the repeated slashes. He was about to attack again, then remembered his training. He formed his handsigns, then jumped into the air, the water trailing after him. It spun around and around, until it finally created the spiral. He added a tip, and aimed at the animal. With a burst of chakra, he heaved it at the creature and screamed, "Hayai Mizudoriru no Jutsu! Speedy Water Drill Technique!" It stabbed the thing in the chest, and it howled. It ripped the spear out, and ran from the cave, screaming. Arkai picked up the spear, and wiped it on the ground. So much for any more visitors...

The dark cave glowed with the light from the lightning above. Arkai merely watched it, glancing around occasionally to look at the crystals, flashing brilliant colors. It was a distraction, but pretty nonetheless. He sighed, and unstrapped his spear. He had to continue his training.

He had become familiar to the handsigns now, so he created them without too much incident. The water was now spinning as it wrapped itself around the spear, making the usual whirlpool on a stick. He added the small tip, finishing the drill. He spun it around a few times, then hurled it with his chakra at a particularly big crystal. He heard the distinct drilling sound that it now had, and he saw that it had stuck about four inches into the gem. He pulled it out, with some difficulty, then thought about his next training exercise. He looked at the hole in the ceiling, and thought... I guess I should see if I could get the drill to pull itself all the way to the top. He smirked, the walked back to the center.

True, he probably shouldn't be standing on water during a thunderstorm, but he wasn't too afraid. He made the handsigns, then got the drill spinning once more. He heaved it into the air, and it flew up. It stopped about halfway up, then fell back to the ground. He frowned, then fished it out of the pool. He created the handsigns, then tried a different method. He had the drill have the most backswing at the bottom, then it might pull it up. He tossed it into the air once more, and watched it's progression. It did pull itself up, but this time it only went about two thirds of the way up. He caught it before it touched the water, and tried to make another plan.

Maybe adding more thrust was the trick. He formed the handsigns, then got a normal drill going. He aimed at the ceiling, then pushed with alot of chakra. It got high enough to touch the top, then it crashed back to earth. Arkai sighed. Not very good, but at least he got a little bit more practice.

(And no, I don't really care if I'm defying a few hundred laws of physics here.... )

The storm had calmed down, and the sky had returned to it's usual color. Arkai had left the cave, and started back down the cliff, twisting his spear in his hand. He was certainly getting better at this technique, but he still needed more training. He was tired of working at the cave, he'd return there later. For now he was hungry, so he wanted to get a bowl of soup. He dug out his wallet, and looked at it sadly. He didn't have enough money to buy an apple, let alone soup. He scowled, then continued his walk.

Eventually, he got the the more civilized part of the village, the part where people were selling stuff everywhere. Ponchos, umbrellas, things you could get cheap in the rain country. But his stomach growled when it felt the presence of food. He forced himself to walk away, to prevent him from doing something rash. He wondered away from the food, and found himself in a field of grass. He knew this place, it was where Amekage-sama had trained before. It was something, something about being able to stop the rain with only a sword. Interesting... There was enough water on the ground to make a sufficent mizudoriru...

He had waited for a few minutes, then a storm had formed once more. It began to rain, and he steeled himself. He made the handsigns, then wrapped water around his weapon. The drill was formed, now to see if he had the stuff to be a kage. He hurled the spear into the clouds, and it shielded him from a few drops. But he needed to keep this up, it wouldn't be long before more rain fell. He quickly picked a stick up, and formed the handsigns. Suprisingly, it worked as well as his spear. Coincidence? Perhaps, but he had more pressing matters at hand. He created another drill on the stick, and let it fly into the rain. It caught some drops, and he was satisfied. He heard a thump, and he knew his spear had dropped to the ground. He grabbed it, deflected some rain with it, and tried to make handseals with it blocking the water. This worked, at least until he had the drill to defend him for a little while. He held it above his head, using it as an umbrella. He aimed it at an angle, then rocketed it over to the stick. He ran under the rain-free area, then rolled to grab the stick. He barely formed the handsigns in time, and he whipped it into the air. As it flew, he picked up his spear. But that wasn't what was wrong. The stick got up about 10 feet, then exploded into woodchips.

That was unexpected. He still made the handsigns, and created the drill once more, and hurled the spear into the sky. It didn't protect him from the rain, and he was wet in a few seconds. He grabbed the spear from the sky, then took a few seconds to catch his breath. That.... was wierd. That hadn't happened with his spear.... Maybe it was the density of it or something. But whatever it was.... Hopefully it wouldn't break his weapon. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm. It had probably come from using the technique too much. He decided to lay off for a while. His arm had gone down to a dull throb, but he didn't trust it.

As he walked away, he thought about what had happened. He wasn't Amekage material yet. Yet.

The young warrior had finally succumbed to hunger, and had traveled back to his house. He managed to sneak inside without being noticed. He walked on the balls of his feet, so he wouldn't make any noise. He creeped along to the kitchen, and found some riceballs (onigiri). He grabbed a few, then proceeded to walk back to the door. He sighed as he reached it, and he pulled it open. His mother was standing not too far away, tending the garden. He quickly jumped away as fast as he could. She apparently didn't see him.

Why is Arkai acting so strangely around his mom? Read page 2 to find out!

He made it to the roof of his house, made sure nobody could see him, then stuffed a riceball in his mouth. He chewed it slowly, then took another and squished it in there as well. He scarfed down the others, then realized he couldn't breath. He choked for a little bit, then forced it to be swallowed. He caught his breath, then looked around, to make sure no one saw that. He was in luck, and nothing in sight stirred. He got up, and turned around to find his mom standing over him, wearing a smirk. He jumped back, then almost fell off the roof. His mom burst into laughter. He scowled at her, then said, "What do you want?" She probably wouldn't have stopped laughing, unless he didn't throw a riceball at her. She ducked it, then said, "Do you need some help training?" That was odd, but he was willing to do anything to get the hang of this technique. "Maybe I do... What of it?" He said, still mad about him falling off the house. She motioned for him to follow her, and he complied. She led him down the cliff their house stood on, down to a flat plain, divided by a river.

She stood on one side of the river, he on the other. He wondered what this was all about, but he was about to find out. "I'm guessing, by your hand, that you're practicing a...water technique that involves throwing something. Am I right?" He nodded. She smiled, then made handsigns. All of a sudden, and huge wall of dirt rose up in front of her. She jumped on top of it, then said, "Try to break this dirt wall. It's be good training against Doton users." Sounded like a good idea but..."I've done stuff like breaking barriers. What's so special about this?" She smiled once again. She must be in a really good mood today. "It's against Doton and..." She made more handsigns. "You have to dodge these." About fifty rock birds had been raised into the air. He heard a gulp, and it was probably him. She cracked her knuckles and said evily, fire dancing in her eyes, "It's payback time."

Oh. That's why she was similing. AHHHHHHHHH! All of the birds flew at him. He tore the spear off his back, and started whacking them away. He reached the place where the river divided them. He made the handsigns, and got the drill spinning. But he had to use it immediately, as a bird was flying toward him. He hurled it at the bird, but it was already too close. He drove the spear into it, and everything was still for a second. Then the bird broke into pieces. He had no time to lose, the swarm was still on him. He made more seals, and another mizudoriru spun onto the weapon. He batted away a few more rock birds, then turned around and flung the weapon at his mom's shield. It drilled a little bit, then stopped. He scowled, then jumped over the river, and ripped it out of the dirt wall. Two more birds followed him, and he stabbed one with the spear, and the other he backflipped over. He yanked the spear out, and created more handsigns. He spun the water around a bit, then looked up. A huge flock of birds was descending upon him. He had no choice. He tossed the drill into the air, and it collided with the rock creatures. There was a huge noise, and when it was over, Arkai was squished under rock rubble. He moved it aside, then surveyed the damage. His drill had apparently destroyed a few birds, but the rocks had fallen on him. He moved aside some more stuff, and found his spear. It was luckily not damaged. His mom was still standing on the top of the earth shield. He was angry, and in that moment, he made the handsigns, then flung the water drill at her. A bird with no head moved to block it. It shattered to bird, then dropped to the ground. He angrily picked up his weapon, and walked away. His mom looked on, a little bit sad that he was angry with her, but she knew he'd get over it eventually. She went back to working on her new project, one that he'd love.

Arkai was back at the cave, trying to get more experience with his technique. His fight with his mom taught him that he still had a long way to go. He needed his signature move to be as strong as possible, even against rock. So here he was, trying to turn all the rocks in the cave to dust. Futile, but a great way to practice.

He made the handsigns, then got a water drill going. He targeted a rock, then hurled the spear at it. It hovered for a second, then crushed it into pebbles. He retrieved the spear, then started again. He made the hansigns once more, then looked for another target. He saw a boulder and he tossed the spear. It drilled in, but only halfway. He made the handseals as he was getting it, and the water wrapped around the spear while it was still in the rock. He spun his chakra as hard as he could, and tried to get it to work. It spun and spun, he forced it to move. He pumped more chakra in it, and built up a spiral at the back, then moved it to the front. It entered the first hole, then he pushed it as hard as he could. It drilled all the way through the rock! He withdrew his weapon, and let the rock crumble. One more time... He made the handsigns, then worked up a good drill. He used it's own momentum to make it move, and soon the drill was working well. He saw a spot in the cave wall, then he rushed at it. He hurled it at the wall, then made the handsigns again. The water had nothing to wrap around, so it went on his hand. He brought the water to the spear, and let it slide into the other drill. He pushed as hard as he could, until the drill dissapated. He looked at his arm. It was cut everywhere from the drill. He scowled, pulled out the spear, then looked for something to bandage his arm with.

Arkai walked along the edge of the cliff, wandering wherever he pleased. He didn't really care what was going on, he just wanted to walk. He was tired from a day of training, having had to push himself to the limit to achive almost perfection of his technique. The wind blew, and he merely wandered. He gathered his thoughts, thinking abou the things that were to come. The exams should start the next day, and he was certain Kami was going. He also knew that the next Amekage canidate, what was his name? Kininata? Yeah, that guy, he was going to be there as well. He wasn't going, but he dreamt about showing the feudal lords how strong he had become. But he was far away from that still. He had many things to learn, yet he had come so far already. He sighed, and looked out over the setting sunset. He sighed, then continued his walk.

He continued to think about other things, trying to ignore the throbbing in his arm. He stopped at an old playground, a place he used to play at when he was young. He had come so very far from then. He went to sit on the rusty swing, listening to the creaking of it's underused joints. He was interrupted by the sound of snickering. He opened his eyes slowly, and saw three young kids standing not too far away from him, giggling their little heads off. He was not in a mood to be laughed at, so he got up off the swing, and asked, "What's so funny?" In a much scarier voice than he had intended to use, but a perfect sound to shut them up. The tallest short one stepped forward. He was wearing a yellow poncho, and under it he could see a green t-shirt and khaki shorts. And on the top of his head, he could see a shiny headband, proudly displayed. He spoke in an annoying whiny tone, which aggravated Arkai more. "I'm Mizumaru! And I'm gonna be Amekage someday, so I can laugh at whoever I want!" His lips moved into an elegant smirk, and his other friends started laughing again. This annoyed him further, to the point where he unstrapped his spear, and shoved it's point into the ground. He spoke once more in the low drawl, and answer angrily, "You've got a long way to go before you become Amekage. I'm guessing by the squad of three, and the shiny new headbands, you guys have graduated today. You must be pretty smart, because I'd say I'm about 3 years older than you." The young boy smiled. "You bet! Top of the class! We even know some techniques you don't even know!" I'll bet he thought, but kept his mouth closed. Perfect opportunity for practice. He lifted his spear from the ground, then said, "Wanna test you're skills against me? It'll probably be just practice for the great Amekage, but maybe you could give me some tips?" The boy nodded, and then replied, "The one with the best jutsu wins!" That was fast. Two seconds and it's already a competition. He nodded in compliance, then said, "You go first."

The boy happily obliged. He made the ram handsign, and suddenly two of him stood in Arkai's path. Let's try this one! He made handsigns, then two of him stood next to Mizumaru's clone. The only exception was, his clone was made out of water. His friends oohed, but the boy wasn't done yet. He made a small series of handsigns, then said, "See if you can dodge this!" He had used some sort of wind technique, and a huge scythe of air flew at him. While the boy was making his signs, so was he. He then skewered his water clone, then had it wrap around his spear. He created his water drill, then had it block the wind for him. He looked a little bit stunned, but the boy was still vigilant. He didn't care, he just needed to practice a little bit more. He jumped in the air, then ran past the three, then shoved the still spinning water drill into a rotting bench. This seemed to work, the bench was effectively torn to shreds. He made the handsigns again, and the water in the air, plus the water in the ground helped him make another drill. He held it above his head, which deflected two kunai that had been thrown at him. "No need to get violent." He said softly, the evil edge gone from his voice. Then, he spun his spear to the ground, and dragged it along, creating a screeching noise. He jumped over the kids heads again, then spun around twice. He shoved the spear into the metal slide and it crumpled. He twisted and slashed his spear around, and flicked the headband off the kid's head. He caught it with the unbladed part of his spear. He held it out to the boy. He took it. Then, Arkai jumped into the air, and into the trees. Before he disappeared, he heard the boy call out. "What's your name?" He smirked, finally some publicity. "Arkai Chikaraoni. Remember it well!"

(P.S. Anyone who grades this, can you take the scratch off my headband, it's kinda annoying.)

The sky was getting dark, and the young ninja's eyelids drooped. He wanted to get to bed, he was nearly out of chakra as it was, and dead tired. He heaved a huge yawn, and made his way home. His house was just on the horizon, glowing with the setting sun. He could barely make out the outline of his mom, doing something in the garden. He was in a pretty good mood, and he was mildly interested. He walked over to see what she was doing.

She held a pot in her hand, and she was in apparently deep concentration. Her eyes snapped open. She quickly made some handsigns, then her hand turned blue. She placed her hand on the center of the pot. There was a loud hissing noise, and then she let her hand fall limp. She looked exausted, more tired than she had been in years. But there was a satisfied look on her face, one that said she had accomplished something great. She took no notice of Arkai, she was absorbed in the pot. She waved it around, and it blurred. That was odd. But what was wierder, was when she produced a cup of water. She spilled the water onto the pot, but it seemed to just move away from the pot, and onto the ground. She looked up at him and said, "Did you see that? It worked! This is perfect." She looked so happy, he didn't want to ruin the fact that not having water on a pot wasn't such a big deal. But she knew better, and she quickly filled him in on what had happened while he was gone.

"So let me get this straight. You developed a water seal that makes weapons incredibly strong?" He asked with disbelief. That thing didn't look very amazing. "Exactly! You won't be able to put it on anything yet, but you can make the handsigns. I'll show you later." She walked away, happy that she was finished. When she had disappeared from sight, he thought he might try this thing. He had memorized the handsigns from before, and he tried. He muttered them as he made them. "Bird, dog, ram, rat..." His hand glowed blue, and he thought had had mastered this already. But his hand suddenly twanged with pain, and he released the technique. Maybe he had done something wrong. He tried again. His hand glowed once more, but his arm stung. He could almost feel that he wasn't doing something right. He tried one more time. He created the seals, then felt the glow. He pushed his chakra, and it was begining to work. But with his limited supply of energy, it soon failed. His arm dropped, and he spat. His mom came out and said, "You probably should wait to I show you tommorrow. There's a method." He was grateful, and as soon as he got in bed he fell asleep.

The next morning, Arkai woke quickly, and was back in his normal routine of doing everything fast. He almost put his shirt thing on backwards, but he got over that. He sped down to the breakfast table, and grabbed a bowl.He picked up his chopsticks and started chomping it down. His mom came in, and looked at him sadly. "I guess you want to get training as soon as possible right?" He nodded, then kept chomping down the stuff. "As usual, you're in such a hurry you forget things. Did you know you're eating the rotten vegetables that I didn't use for cooking last night. If he had been in a Japanese cartoon, his eyes would have become giant white circles. Which they did. He swallowed the last of the vegetables, then felt his eye twitch a few times. He felt a wierd feeling in the pit of his stomach. "Hold on a sec." He rushed to the bathroom and barfed up the rotten stuff. He came back feeling a little bit woozy, but a bowl of miso soup with rice made him feel better.

Once they were done, they walked out to the garden. His mom pulled off the apron she had been wearing, to reveal a medical smock, with a Jounin vest underneath. It was all very dramatic, but Arkai was unimpressed. She scowled, exactly like the scowl he always used, but then withdrew a long katana. He was interested in this, but before he could ask what was going on, she formed one handed seals. She then spread her hand out, and it glowed blue. Then, the kanji for water appeared on her hand backwards. But all of a sudden, it was almost if blue lightning was dancing around her hand. This was apparently good, for then she placed her hand on the katana. There was a loud hissing sound, the same as last night. She removed her hand, and there was the water symbol on the hilt of the sword. he smirked, that was pretty cool. But..."What does it do?" She had obviously been waiting for this question all day. She made a half-ram, and the seal turned blue and started to blink. That was wierd. By the look on his face, he still didn't get it, so she spoke. "Unstrap your spear, and try to parry my attack." He complied, still unsure what was happening. She rushed at him, and he moved his spear to block, but block what? The blade itself seemed to be blurry. That was pretty good. He stepped back, and waited for his mom to stop showing off. But she wasn't done. She made the half-ram again, and the water symbol grew and spiraled all the way around the weapon. This was interesting still. Now the runes were completely blue, and the weapon look menacing in the morning sun. He had only one thought.Bring it. Which she did, in a way. "Alright, use your most powerful water ninjutsu on me." What? Was she crazy? But he had to see what this was about, so he reveiwed the techniques he possesed in his mind. He was mortified to discover that he didn't really have any strong techniques, aside from the one he had just created. So, he made handseals of his own, and created the water drill he had worked so hard to make. He leveled it at his mom, then hurled it, with a burst of chakra. It looked as if it was going to tear her apart, but she was faster than that. She moved the blade in front of her face, and the water drill fell apart. It knocked the spear back to him. He was amazed. "It can deflect water ninjutsu?" She nodded. "Even B-Rank techniques. But enough messing around, I'll show you how to make it." This was the thing he had been waiting for. He cracked his knuckles and observed carefully.

"The first step, is to build up chakra. You have to get enough chakra built up to go to the second step. Now try it." That was a bit unclear, but he still knew what he had to to. He made the handsigns, and then focused his chakra. This was a bit different than normal chakra control, there was something, heavy about it. He felt the very chakra itself building inside his palm. With every bit he gathered, it was like building a wall. Bricks of chakra laid upon each other, steadily forming a great amount inside. He could feel each time another brick was added, and it hurt. It was getting heavier and heavier, hurting him too much. He could hold it no longer. He dropped the technique, and his hand.

His mom did nothing, just waiting patiently for him to try again. He could tell what she wanted, so he did it. He made the hansigns once again, and began to form that wall once more. It was a bit easier than the first time, but still difficult. He tried a different approach. He swirled the chakra around and around, until it started to cling together. His hand was glowing now, but the weight of before came down even harder. It was almost tearing a hole in his hand. He tried so hard to keep it coming, but he couldn't, and he let his hand fall,

His mom's solid expressing hadn't changed a bit, still watching him intently. Eventually, he gave up trying to stare her down, and went back to the seal. He made the signs again, and tried to spiral it all together. But the same thing happened. It clumped together, then began tearing his flesh. He pushed as hard as he could, but the strain was too great, he released his chakra.

He looked at his mom, but she still hadn't done anything. It was infuriating, but he had no choice but to continue. He made the handsigns again, and he began to concentrate his chakra. "This is a water seal Arkai. Build upon it as waves are formed upon each other." He tried to imagine this, and began. He made a thin layer of chakra, then brought it up as another came in. He kept rolling the chakra into the big wave, and his hand didn't hurt. Soon, he had a good amount of chakra built up. He waved his hand at his mom, and she smiled. Success.

The first stage had been completed. He had to give his hand a break for a few minutes, the strain on his hand was far to great to go to the second stage. But once he had recovered, he was ready to continue. He looked enviously at the seal on the katana, an he calmed himself with the thought that it would soon be his. He looked to his mom, and she nodded, signaling that he should come.

He walked to her side, and she created the seal again. "Alright, you've mastered the first stage, the part where you have to build up chakra. Now you must use that chakra to etch the kanji onto your hand, in reverse. Got it?" He nodded, walked a few feet away then recalled what he had to do. Build up the chakra, using layers, and combine them all into a wave. Then some how write the kanji reverse on his hand. Okay...

Handsigns were created, and he focused the chakra up to his hand, saying it back and forth, until his hand glowed blue. First stage complete. Now to try to make the kanji. He tried to draw it with his chakra. He focused it to come up and make the reverse of water on his hand. It did, but somehow, it was still inside his hand. He showed it to his mom, but she shook her head. He let it go.

What should I do? He made the handsigns again, and he built up his chakra once more. He tired to figure out another way. He released the chakra through his fingers, and tried to make it on the outside of his hand. It made the reverse seal, but his mom shook her head again. What was wrong?

He scowled, then thought about it. That's it! He made the handsigns with his free hand, and tried again (little did he know that he had to actually learn the technique to make one handed seals. He had done little more than stretch his fingers, not even close to manipulating chakra). His hand throbbed, and even though he winced, he took this as a sign that this was working. He tried to make the kanji again, but this time he was intterupted by his mom. She stopped the technique. "What were you doing?You almost blew your hand off!" He growled at her, then tried again.

What was he doing wrong? He was making the seals and everything! He built up the chakra once more, having formed the handsigns already. He tried the approach he had used the first time, making it inside his hand. It glowed once more, but this was little better than the first time. He had just clogged up his hand with chakra. He grit his teeth in frustration.

He released the chakra from all around his hand, and built it up in the center. He compacted it together, and tried to make the seal. He thought he saw something, but then it was gone once more.

He smashed his hand into the ground. "What am I doing wrong?" He said forcefully. He wanted to know, he had to master this technique. Why wasn't this working? His mom touched him on the shoulder. He pushed her hand away, but she put it back and pulled him to his feet. "Don't throw a fit. Watch." He looked on in angry silence. She made the handsigns again. Her hand glowed blue, then the water sign appeared on it in reverse. He was mad that she was showing him his shortcomings, but then he saw it. He was closer the last time. He quickly formed the handsigns, and tried it again.

He built the chakra up like he had done before, splashing it about like a wave. He felt the wave moving around, in perfect balance. He let it surge upwards, then grasped it. He formed it around his hand, but instead of compacting it, he let it move freely. The essence of the wave is water. Let it release itself. Suddenly, then seal flickered on his hand. For a mere instant but it worked. It his excitement he dropped the technique, and the seal faded. His mom smiled, then said, "Now try to hold it for a minute."

He built up the chakra once more, then moved the wave to his hand. It moved around, until it's essence appeared. The water kanji was a clear as day. But he felt a huge strain on his hand as soon as it appeared. He tried to hold it, but it slipped away, like water through a net. He got the wave back up, and let it swirl about on his palm. The seal appeared once more, as well as the pain. He felt it drift away again. He was exausted by these efforts, but he tried one more time. The wave came up, and it danced into a blue letter again. Yet, the same thing happened. He could simply not hold it any longer. It fell, and lost hold of the technique all together. He stopped to catch his breath, this was pretty hard to do.

"Remember what you have already learned." Came his mother's voice. Good advice, but it wasn't actually doing anything. He took deep breaths, trying to keep hold of himself. What was that advice supposed to mean? He stood back up, then made the handsigns. He felt the wave swimming freely around his hand. He brought it to the surface, and let it there for a while. He could feel the wave it's peacefulness, yet it's ability to move wherever it wanted. Oh. That's what she meant. Water wasn't supposed to be captured, it just disappeared everytime it was held back. Let it roam freely, and it will do wonders for you. He didn't even try to focus the wave anymore, it just sat there. But the water that it was began to do something strange. It swirled and twirled and danced. It spread out along his hand, and engulfed it. He let his hand sink into this, and then, he saw it. The reverse water kanji was on his palm once more. No pressure, he moved it about, and it didn't fade. His mom nodded approvingly. He had done it. He let it fade away, and then let his hand drop. It was throbbing now. The second step had been completed. Now to wait until his hand recovered.

Finally, the moment had come. He had finished the second step. Now all he had to do was get the last one done, and he was ready for the seal. He knew exactly where to put it too. He he experimentally flexed his fingers, they seemed to be working properly. He smirked, then came back outside his house. He unraveled the bandages that had been protecting him from his mom's medical ninjutsu. He stuffed them in his pocket for later, he couldn't use them now. He stood up, and walked over to his mom. "Ready?" She asked. He nodded, finally ready to complete his ultimate weapon.

"Alright then. The final step." She formed the handsigns. Her hand glowed blue, then the kanji appeared. Finally, it crackled with chakra, almost like lightning. "This," She said jerking her head toward the seal, "is part three. Go for it." She gave no inclination on how to do it, no tips, and no sign that she was going to help further. Perfect.

He created the handsigns, then built the chakra wave in his hand. He let it move to his palm, then cover his whole hand in chakra. The water kanji appeared, and he has ready for part 3. He took a deep breath. Then he ignited the chakra.

Once his mom treated his severe burns, he knew that 1. Never ignite chakra if you don't know the Katon release, and 2. Don't blow chakra up if you're wearing it! He flexed his fingers again. They had been through a bad day, but now they were ready for part three. His mom glared at him. Her stare said Don't do anything stupid or it won't be the burns that kill you. He was getting that stare more and more often, but he knew that he could get this. He built up the chakra wave once more, then let it mold itself into the kanji. Now he didn't ignite the chakra. He knew that much.

He pondered his options for a moment, then decided to take this like he had done before. One try after another. He pumped chakra into his hand. Maybe that would do something. It didn't, and he almost blew up his hand again. Luckily, pain stopped him before anything else happened. He grit his teeth, then tried another approach.

He tried to bring the chakra tendrils out on their own. That didn't work very well. He managed to make his hand look like a whole lot of senbon had been stabbed into it. It had taken alot of work too. He had to bring out each individual thread, but that ha obviously hadn't worked.

Maybe making a handsign over it will do something? He made the dog sign, and let the chakra stir. Nothing. Why was this happening again? He now had to rebuild the structure of chakra once more.

He made handsigns, and formed the chakra wave. He let the wave go up, and then come down and around until the kanji had surfaced. His hand swamped by chakra, he thought of another way to make it crackle like that. It was watery, right? So just let it do it's thing like before. He let the water flow around his palm. Splashing and moving. He didn't stop it, he only encouraged it with his chakra, pushing it along. He felt the essence of water pool in his hand. It was moving all by itself. This should work. But by gently pushing the water along for a while, he ended up with nothing in his hand, to even chakra. This was annoying. He looked to his mom, glaring with fierce intensity. She gave up, and walked over to him.

"It's the same thing as the kanji. You can't make it, you have to feel it. How do you force the power of water into the seal? That's what you need to do here." Once again, she didn't make much sense. But it probably hid information, way down deep. He tried to find it, but he knew he'd find it when he was finishing the technique. He walked away from her, and tried once more. He built the chakra wave, and let it swirl into the kanji. He didn't feel anything special. This was just wierd, he couldn't find out how to do it. He might as well pump more chakra into it like the first time unless there was some amazing thing that he had overlooked like maybe he had to make the seal solid or something or- I really am an idiot.

He concentrated not on his hand, but on the kanji itself. He pushed chakra into it, now that the water had solidified itself. The chakra was compacted, then released, then compacted again. He could feel the seal's power being built inside his very palm. The entirety of it all was crushing. He released the technique altogether. But he had got it. He looked to his mom, who's expression hadn't changed at all. But he could have sworn that the edge's of her mouth had moved a slight bit. He tried again.

He built the wave, and let the kanji form itself. He brought his chakra back to the kanji, and focused as hard as he could. He felt the seal convulsing and writhing in his palm. He clenched his other hand, digging his nails into his flesh. The water seal emerged, bit by bit, until it hovered there in his hand. The chakra crackled around his hand. He had got it. He made a mental note to himself that if he ever needed to fake someone out, he could say he was an Uchiha, and that was his Raikiri. He laughed a little, then he passed out.

[Geez Toki, you're a fast grader. P.S. Anyone who gives me a +1 will have their head torn off and feed to Senax's pet, since he's the king of hell.]

After he regained conciousness, it was far after the sun had gone down. He could feel the throbbing of his hand still, but he had one more thing to do. His chakra was low, but he had to finish this no matter what. He grabbed his spear, and walked outside. The stars shown down on him, and he smiled back at them. Then he concentrated on the task at hand.

He created the handsigns first. "Bird, dog, ram, rat!" He moved the watery chakra in his hand around, surging it like a wave. He brought it up, and slowly etched the kanji for water backwards. He let it hover there for a minute, then grasped his spear tightly. He then tossed it in the air with his other hand, letting it turn and fall back to earth. He focused all his remaining chakra on the seal that had been on his hand. It swirled around, and his hand was on fire. The seal emerged, and the crackling blue chakra surrounded it. He saw the spear coming down, and he moved out of the way so he wasn't impaled. His hand shot out, and he grabbed the part of the spear where the metal and the wood met. He could phisically feel himself pushing the seal into it. He used his remaining strength, and the seal combined with the spear. He breathed heavily, trying to remain awake. Even with the dim light of the moon, he could see the water kanji perfectly on his spear. That was the last thing he saw, and he passed out once more. His mom came, smiled, then dragged him back to his room.
