To take full advantage of this jutsu he'd have to learn to twist the ice in different ways. He would starts by making the ice wavier. But first he'd have to wake up.

He awoke the next day knowing exactly what he must do. He climbed up to the clifftop and found that quite a bit of his ice was still there from the day before. So he first decided to practice just so he knew he had the moving part of it down. He used a little less chakra than he had been using and lifted it to about ten feet high. He then had the ice turn to the right and go up a little more. It turned left, went down and then right again. "Well this is fun" Hodin said sarcastically. It was getting quite boring actually.

He then had it all go back to the pile. He moved the line towards the sky in a wave motion. He got up to twenty feet before he turned it around and made it wave back down. It was standing in an arch. He held it there for about five minutes and then let it go. It all fell back into a pile. He did the same excercise again to the same effect. He then had it go into the shape of a large bird. Just a stick figure of one but still a bird.

He then made a dragon shape and a human shape. He made a mini parade that had the dragon in front. He made a spider and a cricket. He used the ice to make all kinds of other designs in the air until finnally he dropped it to the ground. As it hit the ground there was so much ice being used at that point it made a loud BOOM.

He saw the sun going down and climbed back to his ledge. Falling asleep he remarked to himself "Art is a Bang..."

He woke up the next day and climbed up to his training ground right away. He needed to finish this technique that day because he had only enough food for the trip back. Plus he was down to his last piece of firewood. So he went over to the rock he turned to swiss cheese a couple days before. He had a small pile of ice left at his side so he performed his ice swallows jutsu on the pile sending ten swallows into it.

He then raised his ice and put it through the rock. He had twisted the ice through each hole. Connecting to each hole he finished. He then pulled it all out slowly. He returned the ice back to the pile. He did it again and pulled it out. He performed this training a few more times. He knew he had it. So now he had to put this to a real test. He performed the handseals and made five water clones.

Each of the water clones performed handseals for ice swallows and shot at the pile. The origional got ready for the ice shield. The water clones shot at Hodin and he rose his shield to deflect each one. The water clones didnt let up though. they kept those swallows coming and he kept deflecting them. He got hit a couple of times but it wasn't anything that big. After 15 stright minutes of doing this he said to his clone "Enough, please." He sat down and started breathing heavy. He thought he had it down. So,after resting, he got up and started his trek home.
