The air was thick with a chilly mist as Atsukiri walked back home from the Academy with his mother. Atsukiri stared out into the forest as they walked, not wanting to say anything. He had just graduated and now was to begin his career as a Kirigakure Shinobi. While still at the graduation he had realized that now that he was a ninja, he would no longer be able to be with his mother constantly. It was like going with grandfather for the year of training before the academy, except this time it could be much longer than that before he saw her again.

Erith looked at her son as they walked. She could tell something was troubling him, but refrained from asking. She had a clear enough idea of what the problem was and knew that it was something that her Atsu would have to learn to deal with on his own. A chilling wind blew threw the trees as Erith and Atsukiri came towards the clearing just before their house.

Stopping at the edge of the forest and the clearing, Atsu looked up at his mother. Her long brown hair blew in the breeze that froze Atsukiri's soul. He didn't want to leave her, not for anything. Tears began to stream from his eyes as a feeling of despair and lonelyness enveloped him.

The tears were the last straw for Erith. Bending down, she wrapped her arms tenderly around Atsukiri and then held him tight, his tears soaking the chest of her shirt.

As Atsu continued to cry, Erith put her mouth against his ear. "Don't worry little Atsu," she whispered soothingly. "You will grow up to be a powerful shinobi and you know that you can always come see your mother on your free time."

Atsukiri sniffled calming a bit as he listened to his mother's melodic voice. After a few minutes the tears stopped and Atsu looked up at his mother, a look of defiance glowing in his eyes.

"I won't leave you mommy!" he declared in a pouty voice. "I don't want to be a ninja if it means we can't be together anymore!"

Erith let out a soft laugh. She had never seen her son like this before, the normally emotionless, determined boy was now willing to throw his entire future away just to be with his mother. It was adorable, but if it was a precursor to how Atsy would be in the months to come, Erith worried. Still, Erith knew that as a mother, she had to do whatever she could to help her baby boy along.

"You have to leave me," Erith replied in a soft but firm voice. "This is the fate of all little boys who become shinobi. But don't think that your mother hasn't got something to help you on your upcoming journeys! How about I teach you Goukakyuu no Jutsu like you've been begging me to for the last year?"

Atsukiri's eyes lit up with excitement, seemingly forgetting the tears that had just swollen them shut seconds before. Erith smiled to herself at seeing her plan work so easily.

Erith turned from Atsukiri and performed a few hand seals, and placed her right hand in front of her, the fingers making a circle, before taking a massive breath that made her bend backwards. Then in an instant, Atsu watched as his mother unleashed a prodigious fireball into the middle of the clearing, creating an almost blinding light. The heat and light burned Atsu's eyes and face, but he refused to look away, fearing that he might miss a key element to the jutsu.

After a few seconds, Erith stopped exhaling and the fire died away, leaving only scorcher earth and a thick steam in the air. Atsy beamed at his mother, who smiled appreciatively back.

"Now you try it Atsu"

Atsukiri stepped in front of his mother and stared at the ground in front of him. He had watched every movement his mother had made and began to mimic them as he remembered. Performing the hand signs in quick succession Atsu inhaled deeply molding the chakra in his chest as he did. Big Fireball! he thought as he released the chakra infused air through his hand.

Erith watched her son, scrutinizing over every movement. As she watched Atsu exhale, she wondered if he would be able to accomplish the jutsu on his first attempt. It was well within his skill level, but she had only shown him once. As she watched, Atsu released the jutsu, producing a small flame without shape.

"That's not quite it Atsu, dear," Erith said lovingly. "You are trying to simply blow out the jutsu like you would blow out air. You need to do it like you do your Housenka no Jutsu."

Atsy nodded. He knew that since Goukakyuu no Jutsu was also a fire release that it should be similar, but for some reason it seemed like this was so much harder.

Seeing the pensive look on Atsy's face, Erith started the jutsu again. This time she made the fire ball much smaller so that Atsu could see everything the fireball itself was doing. As she released the jutsu, she turned to Atsukiri.

"Do you see how the fire seemed to flow in a current on itself?" Atsu nodded. "That is because unlike Housenka, where you spit out bursts of fire, this jutsu is about maintaining the flame and giving it form."

Atsu thought for a moment. If he was exhaling air... Atsu prepared the handseals for the jutsu and inhaled again. Then as he exhaled, Atsu focused on blowing the fire out at an angle so that the fire created a current and spun into a ball shape. The jutsu was barely a foot in diameter, but for sure it was Goukakyuu no Jutsu. Atsu smiled to himself... Which was bad since he was still in the middle of the jutsu. There was a flash and Atsu flew back into his mother as the jutsu created a small explosion singeing his hand and part of his mask.

Erith laughed as she caught her son. The boy had figured out the jutsu though it needed work.

"Hey you," Erith said softly in a teasing manner. "You made quite the bang there." Atsu blushed underneath his now slightly burnt mask.

[Atsy]

4/30

Atsu rubbed his nose, the now coarse fibers of his burnt mask scratching his his skin as he did. Still blushing from his mother's comment and feeling slightly frustrated at his own incompetence. The young shinobi hated making mistakes and worse, he hated making mistakes in front of other people, especially his mother. She was an amazing kunoichi and to fail in front of her was worse than being naked in a crowd to Atsu. There were expectations he had to meet and by failing them he was insulting his mother and his grandfather.

Shaking his head with determination, Atsu quickly got off of his mother. Looking down at her as she sat on the moist ground, the shinobi was filled with pride and shame. Pride in his mother's amazing skills and shame in his own failure. This time there would be no failing, this time he would succeed in making a massive fireball.

Preparing the jutsu once again, Atsu pulled as much air into his lungs as he could. Pausing at the top of his breathe, he closed his eyes, focusing on molding the necessary chakra with the air in his chest. Then, he released it.

Eyes still closed, Atsu blew out the chakra infused air with everything he had, his hand getting burnt as he released his jutsu. His mother watched and nodded with approval. It had taken more three tries, but her son had accomplished making a decent sized fireball. It was four feet in diameter and had the proper current flowing through it to hold the ball shape. After a few moments Atsu released the jutsu and looked to his mother. His right hand was blistering and a small hole had burned through the mouth of his mask. Erith laughed at her ridiculous son.

"Very good Atsy!" she said encouragingly. "You learned how to do the jutsu. Now you just need to practice it more."

Nodding, Atsukiri fell back to the ground next to his mother resting his head on his shoulder as he did. Erith put her arm around him held her son tight. She was proud of him, though she knew Atsukiri would never believe it even if she told him. She knew about the unreasonable expectations her son thought she had of him and though she had tried to convince him otherwise on multiple occasions, she knew that she could not make him believe anything else. So as Atsu turned his head to his mother with a challenging look in his eyes, she was not the least bit surprised.

"So I suppose you'll want to test out your jutsu against mine now." Erith's voice was calm and pensive. "Well aren't you just full of yourself!"

Atsukiri blushed again. He knew that he was no match for his mother, his mother who had been considered more of a prodigy than he was. Still, he wanted to see how he compared to someone who had already mastered the technique. That being said, Atsu helped his mother to her feet and then crossed the scorched field to the other side. He turned and faced her, and the two prepared to contest their jutsu.

Mother and son prepared their jutsu on opposite sides of the field. The air was still as the atmosphere was filled with anticipation. Two deep breathes, then a flash. The field ignited as the two fireballs collided. Erith's was exceptionally larger than her son's, but for one reason or another Atsu's flame would not submit. Atsu blew as hard as he could, focusing chakra in his hand and into the air that was leaving his mouth. He had to beat his mother, or at least prove that they were equals.

The mist in the air began to sizzle and steam as the two continued their contest. No one seemed to be winning until Erith fully released her jutsu. Atsu could hear her mother's flame roar as it came at him, swallowing his jutsu entirely and continuing to fly at him. She had used and unfair advantage. Knowing more about the jutsu than the young boy had, she had led him to believe that the fireball had to be continuously blown to work. As the fireball advanced, Atsu tried desperately to think of a solution to his predicament.

The incoming fireball was about fifteen feet in diameter. Thinking quickly, Atsu jumped up two of the trees behind him and then launched himself towards his mother. Barely passing over the deadly jutsu, Atsukiri prepared the Goukakyuu no Jutsu again. With the hand seals performed, Atsu inhaled deeply. Or tried to, but to his dismay, he hadn't inhaled anything. Staring in disbelief at his mother, Atsu was thrown into the forest as Erith's fireball exploded when it impacted the trees he had just used for his escape.

Erith watched as Atsu flew over her head and hit a tree about ten feet off the ground some couple meters away from her. Rushing over she caught his unconscious body before it hit the ground.

[Atsy]

Atsu's eyes fluttered open. His vision was blurry and his head was throbbing. His mother was cradling his head in her lap. Getting up, he turned to his mother.

"That wasn't fair," he accused. "You didn't tell me that the jutsu could do that."

Erith smiled at her son. She had hurt his pride she knew, but it was a necessary lesson.

"Well I'm sorry that I've hurt your feelings little man, but do you think that if you ever fought an Uchiha that they would not be able to do that?"

Atsu looked shamefully at the ground. He understood why his mother had done what she did, but it was still painful.

"Again! I want to do it again!"
"I don't think so Atsu," his mother replied firmly. "But we are going to continue training."

As she finished her sentence, Erith rose to her feet and performed a few hand signs. Then five copies burst out of the drenched forest earth. Not pausing for a moment, Atsu watched as his mother continued into more hand signs, a dark black cloud appearing above them as she did.

"Now you're going to try to destroy these clones with your Goukakyuu no Jutsu." A black rain began to fall as Erith said this.

Atsu sighed. Of course his mother would make it rain oil while he trained a fire jutsu. His skin soon became slick and blackened by the oil. Erith raised her own oiled down hand into the air. Then she brought it down, signaling her clones to move about the field.

"They won't attack you, but I think that you'll have enough of a challenge even without that," Erith said with a grin.

Merely nodding, his mind already focused on the task ahead. Atsukiri quickly performed the handseals for his jutsu. Then with a deep breath, he blew his fire ball towards of the first of his targets which was sitting in a tree to his right. The tree burst into flames as the oil ignited and the clone phased into steam. Feeling pleased with himself for hitting his first mark so easily, Atsu went stop the stream of fire, only it was too late. The oil on his body suddenly burst into flames and Atsukiri yet out a yell of pain and surprise.

"I'm not going to help you put that out until you finish off those clones," Erith called from the tree line.

The pain wracking his mind, Atsu tried to focus in on the next clone. It was running from the treeline across the field. Trying to push through the pain, Atsu attempted to perform of hand seals for the jutsu. His fingers were in agony and as Atsy drew in his breath, he found that his body refused to allow him a full breath. Ignoring this, Atsu blew out another fireball at his new target, this one being only a couple feet in diameter and barely reaching his target. Still, he managed to hit the clone and it burst into a pool of water. Atsy quickly began looking for the other three clones...

Erith watched her son burning alive in front of her. It occurred to her that she might have taken this training a bit too far, but she didn't care. Now that her boy was a Genin, he would have to learn that life was not easy, no matter how gifted you are.

"You'd best hurry up before you get seriously hurt!" She called out as Atsu stood still for a few moments.

Atsu ignored his mothers words, focusing on finding the next of the three remaining clones. Seeing movement above him, Atsu saw a clone jump from one tree to another on his left. His hands slightly fumbling from the burns, Atsu prepared his jutsu again. He could feel his chakra dropping quickly, the pain from the fire sapping away his strength and focus. Forcing himself to inhale deeply, Atsy blew a massive fire ball up at the clone, but instead of aiming for the center of the clone, he clipped it's foot, dispelling it. As the clone dispersed, Atsu blew even harder, pushing the fire even further into the sky. Far enough to make contact with the oil cloud his mother had made.

The cloud burst into flames and then extinguished in an instant, the oil being instantly burnt up. Erith felt a feeling of disappointment and approval wash over her. She was disappointed that Atsu had gotten rid of the oil problem, but proud that he had thought of such an ingenious way to do it, taking out the clone at the same time to conserve chakra. Now only two clones remained and the oil on Atsu's body was quickly burning off.

His mind racing, Atsu tried to think of a way to put himself out. The oil rain was gone, so he wouldn't have to worry about anymore oil fueling the fire on his body. As he thought this, Atsukiri frantically began stripping naked, realizing that his oil soaked clothes were half the problem. The oil on his skin would burn of quickly leaving only minor burns, but the oil had also drenched his clothing. Standing naked in the field of oil, Atsu though of his next move.

Seeing the two other clones flanking him on either side, Atsu made his move. He only had enough chakra for a few more fireballs and he had to make them count. Weaving hand signs, Atsu created two oil clones.

The clones looked at Atsu and all three nodded to each other. Then the two clones moved to intercept the remaining water clones. True to her word, Erith did not have the water clones resist, letting the oil clones grab hold of the water ones and hold them still. Meanwhile, Atsu had been moved up top a dry tree and was preparing his Goukakyuu no Jutsu again. The field below was soaked with oil and knowing this Atsu did not aim for either of the clones which where too far apart to hit with one jutsu. Instead he simply blew his flame into the center of the field, creating an inferno that ignited the entire field. The oil clones, accepting of their fate burst into flames causing a small explosion each that destroyed the remaining two water clones.

Erith clapped her hands in delight as the field burst into flames destroying the last of her clones. The fire danced magically in front of her and she and Atsy watched it burn for awhile. As the flames died down, Atsy dropped from his perch and stood next to his mother. His body was covered in burned and blisters and Atsy was desperately trying to cover himself. His clothes had burned to ash and Atsy was thankful that they had done this here so close to the house.

"Well you're quite the sight you know that?" Erith teased to her son. "Getting naked in the middle of the forest and almost setting it on fire!" Atsu smiled a little. Still, he wasn't quite sure his mother was done with him.

In fact Erith was not done with Atsukiri. There was one task she had left for him before she was satisfied that he was competent with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.

"Now Atsy, I want you to do something I know you're not good at," Erith smiled at her own mischievous plan. "I want you to explain this jutsu to me as detailed as you can."

Atsu stared at his mother blankly, his body exhausted, burnt and naked. Speaking was not the young boy's strong point, this his mother knew. She might as well have told Atsu to plan a coup against the Mizukage. It would have been easier.

"Hurry now! You'll catch cold if you stay out here without clothes on for too much longer!"

Swallowing hard, Atsu thought of what to say. His eyes glazing over as he began staring off into the distant trees, Atsu began his explanation.

"Goukakyuu no Jutsu is a Katon release jutsu that is created by a mixture of chakra, and air currents." Atsu paused picturing the Jutsu in his head. First where the hand signs. "To begin the jutsu, you must first perform right seals for the jutsu and um..."

A laugh escaped Erith's lips before she could hold it back. Atsu blushed slightly before continuing. "Er, after performing the proper hand seals, the user of the jutsu then inhales as much as possible and..." he paused again thinking about the process. After the user inhaled the air... "After the user inhales, they mold their chakra in their lungs with the air to create the jutsu!" The young shinobi's mind went blank.

"Mother! This is too hard!" Atsu exclaimed in frustration. Performing the jutsu and being burnt alive had been easier than this. "I don't know how to explain how it works!"

"Think about it Atsu. Tell me what it feels like molding the chakra in your chest."

Atsu closed his eyes to envision the process. He kept them closed as he spoke. "Once the air is in your lungs, um, you have to bring your chakra in your lungs too and then kind of swirl it all together..." his legs began to shake. "The chakra and air become one and your chest starts to feel like its burning up and then um... you put you hand in front of you cupping your fingers kind of like a circle and blow as hard as you can. That's it." Atsu exhaled with relief, his body slightly shaking.

"You missed an important step," Erith reminded him. It took Atsu a moment to realize what she meant. "Oh! that's right and um, when you blow out the fire you have to try and blow it out so that it creates a swirly kind of current so that it looks like a big ball!"

Erith nodded with approval. "Now do it for me." Atsu nodded happy to do some practical hands on training instead of talking. Performing the hand seals proved somewhat more difficult than it had earlier, now that Atsy's hands were burnt and the adrenaline was no longer present in his body. Still, though slower than he would have liked, and after fumbling a few of the seals up, Atsu managed the appropriate seals. Next, he took a deep breath, holding it in his chest for a moment. The chakra began to flow into his lungs and it wasn't but a moment before he could feel the chakra mixing in his chest, making him feel like he was burning on the inside. Bringing his hand up, he released the fire that had been building in his chest. It felt amazing as the heat left him, a calming yet exhilarating feeling. The flames spewed from his mouth and swirled and spun over itself creating a sphere five feet in diameter. Then as the last of the air left Atsu's lungs, he turned to his mother seeking her approval.

Nodding at his hard work, Erith pulled her outer shirt over her head and shoved it down over Atsu's head. He struggled as it got stuck over his head until the collar popped over his head.

"You did good my little ninja," Erith said smiling at her boy. "Now lets go home and get you changed. You need to sleep well tonight so you can go out and do a mission tomorrow. Now jump on my back and I'll carry you home."

Atsu nodded, completely exhausted from the training and gladly climbed on his mother back, wrapping his arms around her neck and letting her carry him back to their house.

A bright early morning sunshine penetrated the mist and crept over Atsukiri's face. Rolling over in his sleep, Atsu turned his face from the light and faced the wall, covering his head with his blanket as he did. A loud knock on the door woke him up.

"Atsy, dear, its time to get up! You've got a big day ahead of you!" his mother called.

Groaning, Atsukiri rolled out of his bed, reaching around for some clothes. His body still hurt from the day before, most of the burns having left blisters even after his mother's medical attention. Reguardless, Atsu began to quicken his pace. Thoughts of the previous day's training reminded the boy that today he was to start his first mission and he needed to make sure he was prepared. As soon as he was dressed he climbed to his window and lept from the second story to the soft, moist grass yard below. It was time to begin his morning training.

What should I do today? Atsu asked himself.
Why don't you practice that butt poking jutsu?his inner voice replied. Atsu thought about it to himself and shook his head. If he was going to do that, he was going to have to first practice his Shunshin no Jutsu. Though he appreciated the usefulness of the Shunsin, Atsu had never liked the idea of learning a taijutsu technique. Taijutsu was not his strong point and as an unsaid rule he tried to avoid training it. Still, it seemed to be unavoidable this time.

Resolving himself to master the Shunshin no Jutsu, Atsu began to stretch his legs. Since the technique was essentially sprinting from one location to another, Atsy decided to start by sprinting to the tree line twenty meters away. It took him three seconds to make the sprint. Now at the tree line, Atsukiri jumped up and down, loosening himself. His legs were just starting to warm up and he had barely lost his breath. Not wanting to slow down and lose his drive, the boy sprinted back to his house and back to the tree line five more times. At the end of the fifth sprint he was by his house again, his legs beginning to feel sore and his breathing getting heavy. Sweat dripped from his forhead and he pulled down his mask to allow himself more air. He thought of taking off his boots to make the sprints easier, but decided against it, realizing that he would have them on if he was to perform the jutsu in normal conditions anyways.

Now that his legs were warmed up, Atsu decided to move onto the next part of his work out. Moving to the side of his house that had no windows on it, Atsu looked up towards the roof. The house was a dark brown wood and had two stories to it, the roof sitting about twelve meetings off the ground. Focusing his chakra into his legs and feet, Atsu prepared for his next task. Pushing his body to the limit, his legs burning and his lungs gasping for air, the young shinobi sprinted up the side of the house as fast as he could. As he did, Atsy focused as much as possible on his chakra control. The Shunshin required boosting the leg muscles with chakra and Atsukiri focused on just that. Holding the chakra on his feet as he ran, Atsu released a large amount of chakra into his thighs and calves. The effect was more than he could take though, and as Atsy's muscles swelled with the chakra needed to perform the Shunshin, he tripped, forcing himself to kick off the side of the house before he fell to the ground and hurt himself. He landed safely on his feet, crouched down to absorb the impact of the fall. Then he fell over, his legs completely exhausted and giving out now that he was no longer focusing his chakra in them. Laying on the ground, his face in the dirt, Atsu thought of his next move.

[Atsy]

The mother watched from the doorway as her son lay on the ground. She worried about her boy and wished with all her heart that she could just pick him up and bring him inside to eat breakfast with her. Stubborness was in their blood though, and while she refused to give into her motherly instincts, she also knew that the boy would refuse to interupt his training.

Gritting his teeth and forcing himself up, the boy fought through the painful cramps that were forming in his legs and rose to his feet... Only to fall back down backwards. Now laying on his back, the young shinobi reached into his pocket and pulled out his Academy Jutsu Manual. He had glamoured his way through the academy, using his talent with ninjutsu to mask over his weakness at taijutsu. Flipping through the pages, he found the page that with the Shunshin no Jutsu on it.

Description: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination.

Setting the open book over his face, the child lay still thinking about how he was going to complete the jutsu. He closed his eyes, absorbing himself in thought. A cool breeze blew through the air and the boy let out a sigh. Slowly he sat himself up, the cramps in his legs loosening, even if just a little. Carefully he brought himself upright and standing, stretching out his legs as he did. After a few minutes of stretching, the young ninja prepared himself once again. Instead of running up the house though, he decided to practice on level ground first. Chakra coursed through his body to his legs, melding with his muscles, making them swell with energy. As he stood still, the boy could feel his muscles screaming for release, every fiber straining to contain the force building in his legs. Then he sprang forward, starting his sprint for the tree line... Which he passed in an instant before running into a tree and smashing his face. His nose bleeding, the young boy pushed himself away from the tree, stumbling back towards his house where he could see his mother laughing at him in the doorway.

"Your plenty fast enough!" his mother called out to him. "But you seem to have some problems stopping!"

Atsu turned red at his mother's comments. She was right, he had achieved the necessary speed for the jutsu but had failed to control it. Furrowing his brow with determination not to fail again, Atsy prepared his chakra again and sent it coursing through his legs. The chakra built up and began to swell in his legs almost instantly. Then he was off, disappearing for a moment before reappearing next to pole that held up the clothes line, his hands clinging to it... and pulling it out of the ground with him as he flew past it. Atsy tumbled to the ground in a mess of dirt and clothes, getting tangled in the laundry line as he did.

Cutting the line with his Kunai, Atsu untangled himself from the mess of rope and clothes. This training was starting to become ridiculous. He had thought that the tenique would be easy to learn and yet now it was proving to be just as hard as the Goukakyuu no Jutsu he had learned the previous day.
I'm not going to lie, your pretty pathetic his inner voice said snidely. If I didn't know any better I'd mistake you for brand new Academy student.

Atsu shook his head, dispelling his negative thoughts. He would not be beaten by this jutsu, Taijutsu or not. His resolving growing, he prepared the jutsu again, refusing to give into deafeat.

Thoughts of failure and quiting pushed from his mind, the boy stood prepared to continue his training once again. Muscle and chakra fused into one and a sharp mind focused on a solution to the problem, "how do I stop?" A blink and the boy was gone from sight, appearing meters away, barely having been able to stop, foot marks stretching across the ground from where he had tried to slow himself. He had over shot his target by over five meters and his ankles began swelling from the stress stopping had put on them.

Ignoring the warning pains his ankles and legs were sending him, the boy prepared the jutsu again, his determination and frustration mingling into one as he thought only of accomplishing his goal. He prepared the jutsu again, focusing his chakra in his legs even finer, making sure every fiber of muscle was infused with chakra. Then he burst forward, the ground bursting underneath him as he flew forward. Only to slam his body into the house, knocking him over and causing a popping noise to come from his shoulder. The boy let out a cry of pain as he dislocated his right shoulder. Within seconds his mother was beside him.

"Don't move," she said as he began trying to force himself back up. "I said stop moving!" Erith stomped down on Atsukiri's back forcing him back to the ground, grabbing his wrist with her left hand and pushing with her right hand into his shoulder. There was a sound of bone grinding on bone before at last the two heard a poping noise and Atsu's shoulder slid back into place.

"You're doing it all wrong Atsy," his mother said as he got to his feet, shaking his arm to make sure it was ok. "You're focusing all on the speed and not thinking about the technique itself." Atsy shook his head trying to understand what she meant, which caused his mother to let out a huff of frustration before returning into the house.

Thinking on his mother's words, Atsu went over the jutsu in his mind. As of now he had been focusing entirely on making himself faster and faster. Only, he realized now, the jutsu was not entirely about being fast. It was about being fast enough for an opponent to lose track of him and the rest was controlling himself so that he could reach the point he wanted. That was it!

[Atsy]

The young shinobi stood ready to once again attempt his jutsu. Previous attempts pushed from his mind, Atsy began focusing his chakra into his feet. He was a ninjutsu specialist, not a taijutsu he reminded himself. While some people might be able to muscle their way through a technique, it was not his way and he had forgotten this.

Utilizing the same technique that had allowed him to walk up the side of the house earlier, the boy pushed his chakra to the soles of his feet, letting it build beneath him. There was tremendous energy there and he knew that if this idea didn't work that it would only take a little fine tuning to finish the jutsu.

Out came a kunai from the boys pocket as he prepared to sprint. He threw it towards a tree in front of him and as it left his hand, he pushed his stored chakra out of his feet. In an explosion of kinetic energy he burst forward and disappeared from sight, appearing a moment later by the tree. As he approached the tree he stopped the flow of chakra to his feet and slowed down to a normal speed just as he reached it. He reached to catch the flying kunai before it hit the tree, but is outstretched hands came short and the kunai stuck to the tree with *thunk* sound.

Swelling with pride at having figured out the secret to the jutsu, Atsu pulled his kunai from the tree and faced back towards the house. A few more practice runs and he should be able to have full control over the jutsu and move onto the last part of his morning training...

Atsu threw the kunai at the house and as it left his hand he quickly focused his chakra into his feet. Real time use of the Shunshin would not permit him to prepare the jutsu, and now that he understood the mechanics of it, he would not waste time preparing it before each use.

Chakra shot to his feet as he began, making a mad dash for the kunai before it hit the house. The energy propelled him his every step forward at incredible speeds. The first step was took him from sight and by the third step Atsukiri passed the kunai mid flight. Reaching his hand up and releasing the chakra from his feet, the boy caught the kunai by the ring at its end as it flew towards him. He had done it! He had accomplished the use of the Shunshin no Jutsu!

Not taking a chance that his success had been an accident, Atsu pulled out another of his kunai. A knife in each hand, he threw them towards the wood line to his left and right. They soared through the air, flights straight and true.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Atsu made his first step to his right. As his foot hit the ground, his eyes opened and he forced his chakra to his feet. A burst forward and three steps later he caught up to the kunai on his right, snatching it from the air. Pivoting on his left foot, he turned and began his dash towards his second knife. One step forward, two steps forward, three steps he reached the knife and grabbed it... just before his legs gave out and he tripped and fell, sliding across the ground. He had accomplished the jutsu three times successfully before his legs gave out. Making a mental note, Atsu got to his feet and put away his knives. Smiling at his success the boy walked towards his house and prepared for a nice breakfast. Further training could wait until later.
