Ryuji's Training Ground {Training, Private}

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Mokuton: Kamisorikonoha (Razor Leaves)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A large array of leaves swirls around the user. Using chakra, the user sharpens the edge of the leaf to be able to cut through skin and thin cloth with great ease.
Special: Holding Rabbit seal.
Drawback: If the user stops holding the Rabbit seal, then the leaves lose their edge and drop to the ground.
Description: The user performs the Rabbit seal and holds it. Large amounts of leaves begin to blow in a circle around the user and instantly, chakra sharpens the edge to allow the leaves to be able to cut skin and thin cloth. Holding the seal, which is required to keep the jutsu active, also actively drains chakra per turn in order to keep the leaves in motion and to keep their edge. The user can direct the leaves in any direction, effectively creating a wall to keep out enemy shinobi or using it as an offensive tool.
Limit: Mokuton no Jutsu

Ryuji took a deep breath of fresh morning air as he slid open the back door of his families estate, and entered a small garden. The garden was a small elegant ornamental garden. There was a pond, a small path surrounded by earth, and a number of trees.

Ryuji grinned sliding a scroll from his bag. It carried the Mokuton no Jutsu symbol on it, suggesting that Ryuji was about to learn a new Mokuton technique. He unrolled the scroll and began reading what it was he had to do.

Ryuji read slowly he had to use his chakra to take control of a large number of leaves that he would then guide so that they circled around him like a huge cylinder, at which point he would infuse his chakra with the leaves causing them to sharpen. Once sharpened he would be able to use them as an offensive weapon.

Ryuji closed his eyes and began meditating on how best to complete the jutsu. There were many factors to consider, like first, how would he keep the leaves circling him, whilst he was sharpening them. Secondly how would he sharpen them with chakra.

After a few minutes Ryuji stood up and rolled his shoulders, he was completely ready for his first attempt at this jutsu. He looked up at the trees around him and thought about the leaves. Then he took in a deep breath and closed his eyes again, he was going for his chakra.

Ryuji searched deep within himself entering into his heart and standing before his chakra source. Ryuji ran his fingers across his swollen chakra source. He always imagined his chakra source to be much larger than anyone elses, and that was how he saw it every time he searched within his body.

Ryuji plunged his hand deep into the chakra source gripped a few of the eel like strands as they swam through this source. Wrenching them back out of the thin membrane he watched as it quickly healed before any other stands could get out. Grinning he set about his next part of the move.

He took the chakra strands and guided them carefully so that the chakra was spread out less than a millimetre below his skin. This is were he would release the chakra from when he was ready. What seemed like it took minutes, Ryuji found took under a second when he opened his eyes again.

Suddenly he clapped his hands together in a list of twelve seals. He was sure he could master the seals the first time, this was the easy part for once. His hands clapped together and the sound resonated throughout the training area. Suddenly he came to the final seal, the Rabbit. This is the one he had to hold, if he were to take control of the leaves.

Coming to the last seal Ryuji began slowly releasing chakra from his whole body. He used this chakra to take the leaves from the trees and make them spiral around him. It started slow, only a few leaves circled him, five at the most, then more pulled off the trees, until Ryuji was surrounded by leaves, circling him at high speed ready to be sharpened.[/sub][/blockquote]

Ryuji took a deep breath as the leaves swirled around him gracefully. He had to focus all his chakra on the leaves, to sharpen them, and give himself complete control. His first wave of chakra had taken hold of the leaves enabling them to swirl around him. His second wave would be for the sharpening.

Ryuji tapped into his second wave of chakra releasing it like a pulse from his entire body. The wave washed over the leaves, attaching more chakra to the leaves, that was currently not in use, it just clung to the leaves waiting for Ryuji to make his move and sharpen them.

Ryuji suddenly took control of the chakra, taping into the cells of the plants. The academy taught him some science at the academy, and he knew that unlike humans and animals plants had cell walls, these were what Ryuji needed to focus upon if he were to sharpen the leaves.

He focused upon the Cuticle cells which surround the outside of the leaf, and the guard cells, which normally allow CO2 into the leaf so it can breath. But Ryuji was going to solidify and change the shape of these leaves, so that they were razor sharp, and had the ability to cut through cloth and skin.

Ryuji changed his focus again, now that he was one hundred percent sure that the leaves were sharpened to the right amount. He took control of his first wave of chakra again, knowing that his other chakra was in place for good. He looked down, he was still holding the seal of the rabbit tightly.

Ryuji gripped the second wave, he had to time the movement right, or he would cut himself wide open. He began following the movements of the leaves, focusing on his right hand side. He had to force the leaves to drive forwards, just as they came past his right arm.

Timing was everything for this Jutsu. Ryuji counted in his head, five rotations. When it came round for the fifth time Ryuji made his move guiding the sharpened leaves forward in a violent flurry. The leaves rolled past Ryuji's left side like a huge wave of leaves.

The leaves didn't fly all at once they flew past like someone had turned a tap on and the leaves were rushing out washing away everything in their path. Ryuji guided them carefully making sure he didn't hit himself with any of the leaves and cut himself open.

Ryuji controlled his chakra carefully as the last leaf went past him, guided in the leaves around the air, before bringing them crashing down into one of the trees opposite him. The leaves that collided with the tree cut it, then fell to the ground damaged and broken.

Finally after all the leaves had either fallen to the ground or missed the tree Ryuji released the handseal, causing any left over leaves to drop to the ground, weakened and blunt as a spoon. Ryuji sat down feeling good about is accomplishment.[/sub][/blockquote]
