*splash!*

Atsy watched through blurry eyes as his clones fell one by one. It was ridiculous how powerful his mother was. She had never gone this rough on him before and he wondered what the cause was.

Pushing himself up against the wall, the boy made the seals for another water clone. He was running low on chakra, but the clone sprang from the water almost instantly. He had become quite proficient at the jutsu in such a short amount of time, but it wasn't enough.

Together, the two boys charged forward at Erith and her 5 clones. Both boys went straight up the center, weaving through attacks. They were in front of her. The boy lunged forward, moving to attack while his clone caught the spinning windmill from hitting him. With all his might, Atsy swung his massive shuriken at his mother...

Who blocked it with her foot easily. The boy hunched over in defeat. The woman's clones dissipated and she leaned close to the boy. He fell to his knees, his clone splashing back into water. The rain was still falling heavily and the boy looked up at his mother who was bending down towards him. She smiled at him deviously, then... kissed him on the forehead.

[green] I told you that you wouldn't win, didn't I?[/green]

The boy blushed at the reference to his arrogance that morning. Her point had been proven and he wondered if he would ever become that strong.

[green] Now go rest up, we have more training to do tonight. You need to get stronger so you can take on better missions than the D rank find-my-cat missions.[/green]

The boy nodded and with the help of his mother, the two went into the house to clean up before they began their training again.

The evening was cool, almost cold as Atsy walked outside. The earlier training had been exhausting, but the boy would not afford to slow down. There were rumors that things were going to happen in the village and he had no intention of dying.

[blue]The next jutsu is Ochiru Ame no jutsu... Concept... Suspend water then when released it will rain down. Seems simple enough[/blue]

Luckily for the boy, there was still plenty of water from the earlier storm. All he had to do was put that water in the air and keep it there.

Basics first. Hand seals. One, two... a couple more. Good, the chakra was ready. Next was focusing that chakra to pull the water into the air. The boy stared at the puddle next to him. It was only a couple feet large, but it would do for a start. He concentrated on the puddle, glaring at it as he focused his chakra. The water stayed still, not even a ripple forming. With a curse, the boy redid his hand seals. Again, focused on the puddle. Again, nothing. The boy's ear's started to grow hot with frustration. He could make a blob of water move on its own and protect him but he couldn't make a puddle just float in the air? He stomped his foot in frustration.

Which made the puddle splash up. The boy stopped and looked. He hadn't even stomped near the puddle and he definitely wasn't large enough to actually make the water splash up... unless... The water fell back to the puddle. The boy redid his hand seals again, this time focusing his chakra to move out of his body and towards the water. Sure enough, the water began to ripple before it began to float up in jelly looking blobs. Up and up and up it went until the puddle was a good 10 meters in the air. The boy released his chakra. Drizzle... then a flash rain before the puddle was back on the ground again. Sucess! It wasn't much, but one puddle was a start to great things. By the end of the night the boy had every intention of raising all the water in the yard up. That was the goal and he would not fail to meet it.

Once more to be sure it wasn't a fluke. Hand seals wove, chakra pushed outward. A few bubbles formed this time before the water floated back up into the air again. Release! The water rained down in a soft shower of water. That was it. Now the rest was just practice.

Practice at holding the water in the air. He could raise it, but the boy wondered how long he could hold it in the air. Again, the water rose into the air, this time, the boy focused on keeping it there. It was a blob of fluid just floating there. Shaking and squirming. The boy could feel the water trying to succumb to gravity as his chakra suspended it. It felt like he was holding up a rock over his head. At first it was nothing, but as he continued to hold it, the water seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. 15 secs... then the rain started once again. 15 secs. That's all he could hold for now. It seemed like nothing, but the boy knew that with more training he'd be able to break such a pitiful thresh.

15 seconds was little more than pitiful. All that was required was more chakra concentration and control. Chakra into the water. Good. Now it was rising. 10 meter mark. Everything was still fine. Now came the hard part. Focusing more chakra into the jutsu, as much as he could. Atsy would exhaust himself before he failed to keep the jutsu active. He needed this jutsu and lack of stamina was not going to stop him.

The murky water floated in the air, shaking and looking like it was going to fall at any moment. Sweat dripped down the boys face as he pushed his chakra into the jutsu. 13 seconds had passed. His knees began shaking and the boy wondered if he could hold it. Screw it. Atsy dropped to one knee... but kept the jutsu intact. If he couldn't stand he would just do the jutsu kneeling. That was just fine.

20 seconds. The vein in his forehead was beginning to stick out. It pulsed rapidly, accelerating the longer the boy held the jutsu. It was still barely just a puddle of water, yet still... With the growl the boy pushed out more chakra, causing the water to rise even higher than it had before.

Then with a splash, the jutsu came undone. The murky dirty water rained down on the boy, splashing on his face and running into his eyes. 23 seconds. He wondered if that was good enough. Probably not. But for now it would do. For now, until he gained some chakra back so that he could lift the entire yard...

Limit: Water Release

What a nice break. A snack and a nap did wonders for recovering chakra and Atsy was ready to train once more. His Ochiru Ame no Jutsu needed more work. It was pitiful as it was now and he had once seen what it was capable. A seemingly endless rainfall with next to no chakra usage... That's what he wanted to be able to do. His mother could do it and he would not let her out do him, even if she was older than him. It wasn't like he was ashamed of his mother. It was just that he hated losing and his mother made everything a competition. Even eating was training with her!

The sun was out now and it was hot. Stupid hot. Like cicadas buzzing in the afternoon kind of hot. Hot enough that Atsy wanted to make a little rain to cool himself off.

Nimble hands wove intricate hand seals, while the young boy furiously worked the chakra inside his body. It flowed through him like his blood, the chakra that would in a moment be used for a jutsu. The chakra peeked, and then in an instant, the hands froze, holding in the rat seal.

A splash, and more than half of the water sitting in the yard flew into the air, rising like a liquid cloud up and up until it was more than 20 meters in the air. There the water hung, like a prism in the sky, distorting and bending the sunlight that passed through it. Rays of rainbows materialized in the air and Atsy got an uneasy feeling of gayness floating around.

More chakra manipulation. The water cloud began to drip. Then more drips. After a few moments, the entire cloud began dripping, and a muddy looking rain began to fall from the sky, pattering on the ground, reforming the puddles that the water had originally come from... only to float back up into the air and rejoin the cloud. Atsy could feel the chakra drain as he held his rat seal, a continuous drain that if held to long at this point in his training would completely destroy his stamina if he wasn't careful.

[Atsy]

It was sloppy, but he had accomplished the two goals of the jutsu. Levitate water and control it in the air and be able to maintain a continuous rainfall. There were still problems though...

First there was his lack of chakra control. Atsy could feel his chakra straining to keep the water suspended and the rain steady. At the moment, the boys chakra was going into the jutsu in pulses, a burst of chakra going into the jutsu whenever he felt himself losing control of the water. He needed a continuous flow of chakra.

The problem was identified, but how to make a solution? Atsy had no clue and he pondered this as the jutsu continued to rain down on him, draining his chakra from his misuse. Deep breathes. Focus on control. Stay calm. He needed to maintain a calm and at ease state of mind if he was going to stop struggling against this jutsu.

The boy's chakra began to even out, becoming less erratic. He could feel the jutsu stabilize as he began to control his breathing and in turn, control his chakra flow more. He released the rat seal he had been holding.

It was time to take notes. Pulling out a notebook, Atsy began to scribble down the secrets to the jutsu he had learned thus far. First there was using his chakra to lift the water. Then there was controlling that chakra so that the water would stay in the air but slowly release. With proper breathing and chakra control, it was possible to minimize chakra drain while maintaining the jutsu.

After a few moments, the rain stopped and so did the boys writing. As of now, he had figured out how to use the jutsu, but he wondered what would happen if he could not control his breathing? In combat he might not be able to use the deep meditative breathes he'd just used and he would still need this jutsu. It was time to ask an expert.

[Atsy]

Erith regarded her son with a curious sort of interest. It was uncommon of him to ask for help with anything, yet here he was asking for help with a jutsu he could already perform. Part of her wanted to make fun of him, as all teacher's should make fun of their students, but this was different. He had swallowed his pride, something that he had a lot of, just to learn how to perform the Ochiru Ame no Jutsu at a higher level. It was a bother for her, interrupting her own training, but she would make an exception this time. Sometimes you need to watch an expert to learn right?

Stepping outside, Erith regarded the yard and the muddy water everywhere. She had wondered why Atsy had been so muddy and messy looking and now she had learned the reason. It was disgusting and she had told him that when he had come into the house.

[green]This water is disgusting[/green] she said, as much to her self as to Atsy. Then in a flash, all the water in the yard was in the air, all the water in the mud drawn from the ground turning it back to dirt. Then with a wave of her hand, Erith sent the water crashing into the forest.

[green]Now watch. This is how the jutsu is used.[/green]

The boy watched as his mother began focusing chakra into the jutsu. It took her an instant, but Atsy did not miss the slight movements her body had made to build up the chakra. He felt her release the chakra but he wondered how she was going to suspend water if there was none. His curiosity didn't last long. Within moments of his mother releasing her chakra, a drizzle of rain began to fall, until it became a heavy downpour. Atsy stared in amazement at his mother's prowess.

[green]You saw how the technique is done. Now take control of my jutsu and maintain it.[/green]

The boy stared for a moment, not really sure what to say. Deciding not to argue, he began focusing his chakra for his jutsu. The energy swirled in his stomach, moving through is body until he released it out into the air. Immediately the chakra took to the water. The boy felt pleased, but only for a moment. After the initial moment, the boy instantly felt an intense pressure on his chakra. There was so much water in the air! He didn't even know where it came from, but it kept coming and had no signs of slowing down.

[blue]She's testing you. She's making the water and adding more and more into the air to see how much you can support[/blue]

The boy shook his head with frustration. There seemed to be hundred of liters of water in the air, and he was barely keeping the water his mother had suspended in the air. The added water made the boy feel like he was going to die.

[Atsy]

?/30

[green]You're doing pretty good. But I wonder if you can keep it up if someone is attacking you?[/green]

The boy didn't look towards the vile woman, but he knew what was coming. She was going to push his limits even further than she already was. He was barely maintaining the jutsu with her continuously adding more water and now she wanted to spar! It was ridiculous how horrible she could be to the boy sometimes.

Two kunai flew through the air, aimed at Atsy's face. The boy dodged his head backwards, only to see the thin metal wire attached to the ends of both blades. He scoffed at the situation, but by paying attention to the attack, he lost concentration on the jutsu. The rain began to fall heavier, so much so that it was blinding. Quickly the boy focused his chakra again, slowing the rain and maintaining the jutsu. Of course, not before his mother managed to wrap the wire around his body...

He felt her pull the wire tight around his body and wondered to himself how she had managed to get it wrapped around him. The kunai had gone straight and were sticking to a tree now, so how had he managed to get caught in the wire? It was a mystery to him, but not knowing how it happened did not change the fact that his arms were tightly bound to his sides. The pain of the wire digging into his skin was incredible, but Atsy fought through it, continuing to keep the Ochiro Ame no Jutsu active. Even if he was barely accomplishing the task. The water was becoming hard to maintain, his mother still adding more as she continued her assault. The boy wondered how much more he could take...

[Atsy]

?/30

The wires were starting to dig into Atsy's skin, drawing blood as they tightened ever more around his small body. He didn't know why, but Erith had been training him exceptionally rough lately and he wasn't sure what to make of it. Still, through all of it, the boy was managing to keep the perfect chakra flow in the jutsu, keeping the Orchiru Ame in the air. Actually, the boy was thinking less and less about the jutsu but somehow still maintaining it. It was like a little poke in the back of his mind reminding him about his chakra, but his body was releasing the chakra on its own; Atsy was not really controlling it anymore.

That meant it was time for a counter attack. He could barely reach into his pouch for anything, and as his hand slid into the bag, the only item he could get a hold of was a single handless kunai. Putting it between his fingers with his hand clenched in a somewhat fist, he flicked the kunai out of his hand with his thumb, straight up his side, cutting the wire. The wire snapped and fell apart, and Atsy wasted no time getting ready for whatever was next.

A handful of shuriken were what came next, and at first Atsy thought to stop them with his Suiton no Tate. But then a better idea came to mind. Moving his chakra, he allowed some of the water being suspended to pour through a hole in the chakra support he'd been making. The water poured out like a waterfall and landed in the path of the shuriken, instantly knocking them to the ground. With the water as high as it was and the amount of water there was, Atsy had just found a new way to use the jutsu. The pressure all that water would have falling on something would be quite a bit, enough to knock someone over or stop a weaker attack. With a smile, the boy made another hole in his chakra, this time right above his mother.

The water flowed out like a river, falling rapidly at the woman. But of course it was childish optimism that made Atsy think that he could actually hit Erith with such an attack. As the water came closer, Erith leisurely dodged backwards, then jumped fowards, through the makeshift waterfall. The boy stared as his ridiculous plan came flopping down.

[green]That was stupid. Seriously Atsy, only the most childish inexperienced genin would think an attack like that would ever work on anyone[/green]

The boy accepted the remark without responding. She was right and he had let his inexperience and young age fool him into thinking that a jutsu that made it rain could be used to an extent like that.

[Artemis]

+30; learned and overkilled.

While it can't be used for an attack like that, the rain CAN be used for Rain Senbon and Raindrop Lightning. I'm not sure if those are the actual tech names, but one turns the drops into needle-sharp water senbon, and the other bounces a bolt through the raindrops.

Limit: Water Release

The young shinobi closed his eyes as he moved towards the village gates, thinking back to his training. Now more than ever he was going to need to remember all the jutsu he had ever learned. Kirigakure was in danger and it was up to the boy, along with his fellow Kiri-nin to protect their village.

Back to the basics. Water jutsu was about controlling water and Atsy's mind immediately jumped to the tidal wave jutsu. To be more specific, the Tiny Water Explosion jutsu. By using chakra and water, he could create a small tidal wave about a foot taller than himself that would move in front of him towards his foes, crashing itself into them. Though the jutsu could not cause major damage to anyone or anything, it was enough to throw someone off guard and it was large enough to stop shuriken and other small projectiles.

How had he done it? It was hard for Atsy to remember, he did not use the jutsu often and it had been years ago when he was still a small child that he had learned the technique...

[red]A young Atsy of barely four stood knee high in the shallow edges of the lake. Mother was talking to Grandfather about something, though the boy had no clue the topic of their conversation. It didn't matter, mommy had just shown him a new jutsu and he wanted to show her that he could do it!

Clumsily the youngster made his hand seals with his tiny hands. Then, with a look on his face that made it seem as if he was passing something, the boy released his chakra into the water attempting to make a wave. Of course the results were less than spectacular. The water rippled in front of the boy, though Atsy was uncertain if it was from his chakra or from the sweat droplets dripping off of his face.

Another attempt. The shinobi-to-be's tiny hands weaving sloppy hand seals slowly and deliberately. On the last seal, Atsy released his chakra forward again, attempting to make the wave. The water rippled more, until a small wave a few inches tall pushed away from the youngster before it was taken by the lake's larger, natural waves.

Water began to splash everywhere as the boy lost his temper and began stomping and kicking at the water. It was so frustrating! He wanted so badly to show his mommy that he could do the jutsu but he could not get it to work for some reason! The young boy wondered what he was doing wrong. He just could not understand what the problem was as young children rarely can.

The boy was soaked in water as he calmed down and stood up to attempt the jutsu once again. It was important that he do everything just as his mommy had shown him. Hand seals. Done slowly and properly. Then the chakra release. Chakra flowed from the boy forward, picking up the water as it did... picking up a lot of water. Atsy let out a yell as he felt the wave forming in front of him pick him off of his feet and begin to carry him forward with it into the lake! The jutsu had been performed successfully, but now Atsy was in danger of drowning as he could not swim!

Just then Atsy felt a hand grab his wrist and pull him up out of the water. Looking up through blurry eyes, Atsy was surprised to see his mommy had saved him! A smile of pride glowed from his face as he looked at her. He had done the jutsu just like she had said! The mother glowed back at her son, not saying a word before carrying him back towards the land...
[/red]
Atsy laughed to himself as he thought back to his childhood and his beginning attempts to become a shinobi. They were comical at best and some even a little depressing. Still, there were other jutsu that he needed to remember...

User performs the hand seals Snake, Dragon then transfers charka to their throat, creating a steady stream of pressured water from their mouths, that then hits the opponent for D rank damage. The jet stream has a maximum range of 10 meters and travels in a straight line. Speed is equivalent to throwing a kunai.
Limit: Water Release.

More past memories flooded the young boys mind as he continued to sort through his training as a child. What other jutsus had he learned? Most had been weak jutsu, of that he was certain. His body had not had a strong enough chakra system to support any powerful jutsu at the time.

There was the spitting jutsu... That had been one of his favorites as a child. It was not particularly strong or useful, but he had found it amusing and it did have a few practical uses. Though it wasn't strong enough to cut through stone or metal, the justu could throw people off guard, especially if hit in the face...

[blue]
The boy practiced his hand seals as he sat in his back yard underneath one of the trees at the edge of the forest. His small child hands fumbled as he tried to make the bird seal and the boy laughed as his fingers became tangled amongst themselves. Clouds passed by over head in a clear blue sky as Atsy lulled his head backwards staring at them. He was supposed to be learning a new jutsu today, one that would make it so he could spit a lot of water out of his mouth at people, but so far all he's managed to do was... spit.

Snake seal, followed by Dragon. Atsy held his Tatsu seal as he tried to mold his chakra into his throat. It made his throat feel scratchy and sore. And somewhat dry. The boy thought to himself for a moment. Why would a water jutsu make your mouth feel dry? The boy attempted to spit out his water stream... and nothing came out. Not even regular spit. In fact, the boy's mouth felt dryer than it had before. It felt like someone had taken all the moisture out of it...

The young child reached down and picked up the canteen of water he had brought outside with him and took small sips of it as he thought of what was going on. Maybe he had mixed his chakra wrong? His grandfather had told him a scary story once a long time ago about how one of his genin had mixed their chakra wrong while doing a fire jutsu and had blown himself up. Maybe it was something like that?

It did not matter if it was like that to Atsy. Exploding, drying up, dying, these concepts did not really sit in his mind for long periods of time; he was simply too young to understand their implications. So without missing a beat, the young Atsy performed his snake and dragon seals again. Then as he held the dragon seal, the boy made like he was bring up a large glob of spit in his mouth, his throat rumbling as he did. All that was left was the release...

*splat!*

A large gob of spit and snot landed a few feet away from the boy, sticking to the trunk of a tree. The boy stared awkwardly at it for a moment, tilting his head trying to get a better angle. Was that his brain? He wondered innocently to himself. Probably not. He wasn't sure but he was almost certain that brain did not look like that.

Again, the boy did his seals. Then the chakra build up, followed by the release... And to Atsy's surprise, a small stream of water shot out of his mouth, splashing into the bark of the tree he'd just spit on and breaking apart some of it's bark. He'd done it! Now it was time to show mommy.

The boy waited at the door for his mother to come outside as he prepared his jutsu. Hand seals followed by chakra. He could feel the water swirling in his throat, begging to be released. Then he saw it. His mother poked her head out the door to see what her son wanted. It was then that the young Atsy released his jutsu, aimed directly at his mother's face. The water splashed over her face, making the young woman stumble backwards back into the house, cursing to herself. Then a moment later, she came back outside and stared at her son. Only... her face looked a little funny... like there was something in her mouth...

Atsy's hair stood up on the back of his neck as he recognized the jutsu his mother had prepared for him... it would kill him! He'd seen it in a picture of his mother from when she was a jounin. He opponent had been sliced in half! The Oshikire Mizu Kasui no Jutsu...

The stream of water released from Erith's mouth, blowing past her son's head by a few millimeters, cutting a line through the hair on the side of his head and slicing into the ground behind him. Then the water stopped and his mother smiled at him deviously.

"Mine's better."
[/blue]

The memory of the ridiculous made Atsy smile as he continued towards the Kiri gates. He would have to learn the Oshikire Mizu Kasui no Jutsu someday now that he thought about it. But that was for another time. For now he had to focus on remembering other useful jutsu...

Limit: Needs the Earth Release

I will become the creator of life. The Earth and Wind will bow to my will and the world will know what power truly is.

My thoughts were rather dramatic as I etched the silly promise into my memory. I would probably forget it in a few minutes, but the fact that I had uttered the words out loud and to the world was what mattered. It is here that I will work towards my mastery of the rock creation. With the basics already in my understanding, why should increasing the power of the jutsu be so hard?

Hand seals, hand seals, hand seals. The start of almost every jutsu. My hands weave into the intricate signs as I begin to focus on my chakra. More accurately, I begin to focus my chakra with the hand seals to allow me to mold said chakra into something useful. Last seal.

Placing my hands upon the soft loamy soil, I begin to push down into the earth with my chakra, searching for the hardest minerals, anything that will help me create the hardest stone possible. A few moments pass before I pull my hands up. The ground is hardened where I placed my hands, solid, sturdy, soil colored rock pertruding from where they had been. Barely the size of my hands.

Moving to a nearby log I sit down to think of what I can do to improve my jutsu. What are the elements to performing a jutsu? Hand seals and chakra control. Then there is understanding how the jutsu itself works and utilizing that knowledge to perform the jutsu.

So what did creating rocks take? Moving your chakra into the ground in such a way that you can collect the minerals in the earth and form them together into the substance required. That means that if I search with my chakra then condense the minerals together by pushing with my chakra...

I perform my hand seals again, this time with my objective clearly in mind. Then, I place my hands on the ground, focusing my chakra into the earth and begin to collect all the minerals I want. It is not long before I can feel them underneath me, waiting for direction. I give them that direction. Pushing more chakra into the earth, I force the minerals together, hardening them and bringing them into one form.

Five feet of rock sits beneath me as I stand up, my head feeling slightly dizzy from focusing my chakra so hard. Five feet was not bad, but the standard for my level is five meters.

<sub>More effort was all that was needed to continue the training. More effort in chakra control, more effort in forming the minerals. It was obvious that he was slacking, taking the training too lightly and because of this he would not succeed. Not unless he put in more effort.

And so he did. He made his hand seals again, focusing his chakra miticulously as he did. He placed his hands on the ground and began to pull the minerals together to form hard earth. He pulled more and more minerals until finally, he used his chakra to compress them into stone. The earth rumbled beneath him as he commanded it to become stronger. It would be come stronger, harder and more reliable than it ever would have been on its own.</sub>

The feeling of inadequacy was more than the young boy could bear. While water ninjutsu were natural for him, the shinobi could not understand why the earth element was posing so many complications.

While it was true that the Rock Creation Justu was coming along as it would, the boy needed to practice the technique more. And practice it more he would.

With his hands firmly planted on the ground Atsy began to feel inside of the ground. The soft loamy soil was wet to the touch, but underneath the boy could feel the various minerals that would solidify into the rock solid earth the boy longed for.

He pulled them together, pressuring the resisting minerals together, binding them into one form. At the same time Atsy felt the chakra pulsing from his body into the ground, allowing him to manipulate the earth as he was. Within a few moments he had the material that he desired and with the minerals underneath him, Atsy forced more chakra into the ground to push the minerals into rock.

The soil hardened almost instantly as the justu began to work, cracking and drying before, in an instant, it hardened and turn to stone. It was there in the center that Atsy looked at his finished work. A rock solid circle four meters in diameter. Atsy punched the newly formed rock in frustration. He had come close to his goal but still he had come short.
