Kakan's Training Blitz! (Event)

[matto]

As he neared the event location that he had been hearing about, Kakan heard a lot of commotion in several different areas. A massive amount of training was going on around him. More than he had expected, since the village usually was far more quiet than this.

One of the coordinator's approached him, a small map in his hand. "What are you training?" He asked, Kakan thinking for a minute.

"Do you have a water training location?" Kakan asked, the man motioning for Kakan to follow him towards the training spot.

As he passed several areas that seemed to have just everything that a shinobi needed to train with, Kakan noticed that the coordinator had opened a gate and had begun to speak again. "This will be your training spot. No one will disturb you and just let us know when you're done." He spoke, leaving just as swiftly as he had came.

Kakan shut the gate behind him, seeing a twenty meter by fifteen meter pond, with several target dummies set up alongside the side of it for practicing the art of water.

I'm going to enjoy this...

Suiton: Chiisaimizubakahatsu (Tiny Water Explosion)
Rank: “D”
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a small wave of water that rushes towards an opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: N/A
Description: The user performs the handseals described in special. There, they release chakra into the water and send a small tidal wave (about five feet tall) towards the opponent. The water moves at a speed of about ten miles per hour, so a direct hit from the water can be painful, but not life-threatening.
Limit: Water Release

With his initial looks around the training area, Kakan stepped forward and looked towards the pond. The pond had two creeks attached to it, one flowing into it as a tributary and one flowing away from it. This left a lot of moss on the pond for Kakan's first few tries at a new technique.

He hadn't done much work with water, as most of his training consisted of his bloodline, but he would remember how to do things just as quickly as he had the first time. Placing his hands on the water, Kakan focused his thoughts on what he'd be doing.

Move chakra to the hands and push the chakra forward, creating a wave of water. Its simple enough, right?

With his hands submerged in the water, Kakan pushed the chakra through the tenketsus on his hands, a ripple of water going across the water forward and a larger splash of water coming up from where his hands met the water, hitting him right in the face. Rubbing the water and moss off of his face, Kakan stared at the small ripple that now had dissipated into the pond's stillness.

Okay... more chakra, probably?

With his hands in the water, and his face covered by the hood of his robe, Kakan began to gather the chakra again, this time holding a larger supply of chakra within the palms of his hands. With his eyes closed for concentration, he visualized how much chakra had been built up, guessing just by the surge of energy he felt in his palms. With more chakra built up this time, Kakan pushed the chakra out of his hand, creating this time a slightly larger ripple, and an even bigger splashed of water. The water that splashed up dripped down from his hood, Kakan opening his eyes in frustration.

Fucking water... Is the moss getting in the way?

There was no way, as the moss was doing nothing more than floating atop the water. As the water from his hood dripped onto the water's surface, Kakan took notice of how it hit. When it splashed into the water, it sent an equal to lesser size splashed back up.

Am I really that stupid?

He could be himself up later, right now, he had to test what he had just seen. Pushing his palms, open faced, into the water, he gathered chakra into his hands. This time, he kept his eyes open, watching the flow of water as it circled around his hand and towards the small creek that would move further along, possibly to another pond. As he gathered chakra into his palms, he thought more on the ways of channeling it out of his hands to get the desired effect. If he were to push the water just through the tips of his hands, he'd get the desired effect of a tidal wave. If he only pushed it through the base of his palm, he'd get nothing more than a splash back with a ripple.

With this in mind, Kakan focused the chakra towards his fingers, pushing the chakra forward and hoping for the best. As the chakra shot out of his fingers, in a forward motion, Kakan watched a small wave move forward, carrying with it several bits of moss and grime from the pond. The tidal wave appeared to be about three to four feet tall, moving towards the other side of the pond and splashing against the small bank, causing smaller sets of waves to ripple through the pond.

I can make it larger, I'm sure of it...

With the first initial wave complete, the pond now completely still, Kakan placed his hands into the water, this time the hands bent backwards, inclining the hands so that the palms were pointed towards the center of the pond. While the chakra gathered in his hands, Kakan felt the familiar buzz of energy in his hands. If he was to gather more chakra to create a larger wave, he'd need to be careful not to put too much into it, as it would be wasted energy. With the energy in his hands reaching a larger level than he had used before, Kakan pushed the chakra out of the palms of his hands and the bottoms of his fingers, a minuscule amount of splashback came towards his face, while the five foot tall tidal wave zipped across the pond, crashing loudly against the bank.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

With a few moment's of rest, Kakan began to think about the things that he was capable of doing. So far, he had only a general knowledge of most of the elements he had in his arsenal, his only real weapon being his Zassou blood. As he watched the creeks flowing through the small pond, Kakan's mind began to wander. He could create a normal bunshin of himself, but what about an elemental one?

Standing up and dusting off his knees, Kakan walked onto the pond and looked at his reflection. A water clone would have substance, and it would present him with a new tactic to work with in the future. But, the way to go about it? A normal bunshin was just chakra shaped in the form of the person's body. So, was a water clone just a water filled bunshin?

Seemed simple enough. Running through a few handseals to help gather the chakra, Kakan used the water beneath his feet to fill the shell of the chakra body he was making above the water to his left. With the barrier of chakra formed, filling with water from the pond, Kakan began experimenting with getting the shape and the form correct. It was a bit more difficult to mold the water as he would've thought, as when he moved a simple feature of the face, the entire water as a whole would ripple and create just a large bubble out of the molding.

Pushing more chakra into the molding, the water clone began to actually take form, color beginning to form from the feet up. As the clone began to take full form, color pigments all over the surface of the clone, Kakan began to notice a few problems. The chakra barrier needed a bit more energy in it before it would stay in place, and the colors were off. The skin was a deep green, the clothing a light blue, and the eyes completely empty. As if someone had taken Kakan's image and put it through a water prism.

Dispelling the clone and beginning to create another, the water from the pond sucked into the chakra barrier, Kakan made sure to iron out the details he had missed last time. With a stronger barrier, as well as a few fixes in the appearance, the clone actually looked half decent. But, it was just a single clone. He wouldn't have just as much time to make clones in that slow process. He'd worry about that after a bit of work with the clone, however, because he still needed some practice in moving the clone around by itself before trying to use multiple clones at once.

[matto]

With the first clone formed, Kakan walked off of the surface of the water and made the clone follow behind. It was just the same as moving any normal bunshin, just... minus the consistency of the bunshin's body. Relaying chakra-like messages to the body of the bunshin seemed to be the universal way to use any kind of bunshin. But, how would he fair with creating a water bunshin with his own chakra, used just as before but now responsible for filling the chakra shell, instead of the water of the pond.

So, he'd start the handseals just the same way, but as he would build the chakra shell, he'd also be using his chakra as water to fill the gap inside of the bunshin. It all just seemed so simple in thought, but would it work? Only way to know was to keep his focus on his work. Watching the clone slowly form, emphasis put on getting right, rather than getting it done fast. The clone would slowly take shape, from the feet up to the knees, each segment of creation coloring itself in as it was completed.

It was requiring more chakra than a normal clone did, but the clone was slowly taking shape as the upper torso was taking form and filling itself with color. With the clone completely formed, Kakan's eyes looking into the fake eyes of the clone ahead. They seemed a little bit... disproportionate. Now that he got a good look at it, the entire clone seemed to be shaped a bit oddly. Making the clone made from the pond stand still, Kakan made the clone he had just created walk beside him near the water to look at their reflection. It seemed right. There was no way something was wrong, it just was his mind playing tricks on him.

Yeah... Just my--Wait... since when is the clothing attached to the person's body?

That was what was wrong. The clothing, the black robe that Kakan was wearing, looked to be the clone's skin, and not like real clothes. Punching his fist through the clone's chakra shell and spilling water along the ground, Kakan began to start again, moving faster through the handseals and the formation process of the clone. The speed of the clone creation was actually a lot faster, as if the chakra molding was becoming embedded in his head. The appearance this time, though, actually became more realistic as he made minor tweaks to the schematic of the shell in his head. A little texture here and a little bit of a change there and the clone was done. Making the clone look in the water again, Kakan grinned. It was an exact clone.

There was one more thing to try, though. How many could he form at once? Setting his mind to work, he sent a punch and a kick through each clone, dispersing each one so that he could start from the beginning. The handseals flashing through his hands, Kakan began to set five clones in the making, keeping his mind focused on each one as if all five were a single clone. It would be the only way that he would ever be able to form them all at once. With his eyes closed, he could only focus his attention on the chakra he was dispersing into the clones as water, as well as the molding. Each one, as far as his mind was concerned, was going smoothly. With the clones beginning to take shape in his mind, Kakan opened his eyes to see the finished product. The clones were, indeed, all formed. Each one was completely formed, just as realistic as his own appearance.
