Fuuton: Sakasa Houi no Jutsu (Wind Release: Reverse Direction Technique)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Counter Defense
Effect: Creates a great tunnel of wind which reverses the direction of an oncoming attack.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Does not effect Taijutsu or Genjutsu.
Description: By performing the correct hand seals, the user will channel chakra along the lengths of both of his or her arms. Then, when an attack is incoming, the user will extend both of their arms and release the swirling tunnel of wind towards the attack.

The reversed attack can only travel for five meters for every rank of the technique that the user has, plus an additional ten meters if the user becomes a Wind Master. Requires the user to have the same rank of this technique as the rank of the technique that is being countered.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release.

Yousai could hear his footsteps beneath him. He had been trying to bring consciousness into his walking. he rolled from heel to toe walking silently but he could still hear a faint crackle beneath him. He walked slowly with his hands in his sleeves. He was walking towards a secluded place outside of the village where he could continue cultivating his latent ninjutsu skills. He walked quietly, as was safe whenever walking anyplace outside of the village. Yousai imagined the distance between each of his steps. Could they be measured? Was there any kind of mathematical certainty that he could step the same distance twice? What was the probability? How many steps did it take him to have two steps of exact distance? His foot brushed the ground again quietly as he began to reach his destination.

He came upon it, his secluded practice space, a grassy clearing that was mostly even ground and not very rocky or hilly. A few old knotted trees curled up out of the ever dense fog. Everything was moist, the reeds, the grass, the trees, the air. Today seemed to be an exceptionally misty day. Yousai coughed as he began to do his morning stretches. Rotating his hips quietly he cleared his mind of strange and childish thoughts of arithmetic. What did that matter anyway? Now was the time for diligent practice. He interlocked his fingers and pushed his arms out his palms facing the sky.

He began practicing his handseals. His fingers shifted positions perfectly. Internally he remembered the diagrams from his academy class. He visualized the pictures of the hand figures. He felt his hands mimicking the positions from his photographic memory. 'Rat - Boar - Snake - Rat - Dragon - Tiger - Ram' He shuffled through them rhythmically. "hmmmm, it's good that I remember these." he continued to shuffle through the seals opening his eyes. He felt he chakra moving through up through the front of his body. He kept practicing his handseals. After about fifteen minutes of concentrated practice he would stop, he wanted these to get faster but all things would come with time.

It was time to get to work. Today Yosai was practicing a new jutsu. His hand were a flash as he performed the handseals for Mizu Bunshin. A clone slowly materialized before him out of water. He tossed the clone a few kunai and slid about ten meters in the opposite direction of the clone. Yosai put his arms to his sides he felt the wind blow slightly as he closed his eyes was it his imagination or was it blowing with his dancing chakra? He imagined gently putting his chakra into the wind. The breeze stopped. Yosai performed the handseals for Sakasa Houi with his eyes closed. The mist clone began to throw the kunai at him mechanically creating a continuous stream of airborne weaponry. Yosai extended his arms quickly and shouted: "Fuuton: Sakasa Houi no Jutsu!" Nothing happened, suddenly Yosai was forced to react quickly to the incoming kunai, evading sharply and narrowly missing them. His face was calm as the he sommersaults gracefully out of the way, kunai darting past him and lodging themselves into the old knobby trees or skidding across the ground. The volley continued. He performed the seals again looked intensely at the clone. Slightly out of breath, this time Yosai only lifted his arms. A feeble wind emerged the kunai veering only slightly to the left, missing his face by inches. He remained focused attempting the jutsu again. Again nothing.

Yosai had to stop to collect the kunai. He retrieved them quickly molding the chakra to his feet to climb up the tree swiftly ripping the kunai out that was lodged in the branch. He vaulted to the next tree retrieving another and then slid down to reach into a shallow puddle grabbing yet another. He circled his clone as he threw the kunai back. "Again!" He yelled, seemingly to his clone. He repeated the drill several times. He figured his body would learn these things better under pressure. The mist clone mindlessly raised it's arm hurling the knives. As the kunai came racing towards him he was again faced with similar results. before he knew it the clone again was depleted of kunai.

It was time for something different. He released the clone as it splashed into a puddle water. He relaxed, no clones, no kunai, he would just try to perform the technique. He performed the handseals steadily and slowly. The chakra moved seemingly up from the earth, through his feet and legs. Through his center and into his arms, he closed his eyes as his arms seemed to raise themselves. "Fuuton: Sakasa Houi no Jutsu!"
...

A moment of silence. Suddenly a wind came swiftly from his arms gently blowing the puddles of water and shaking the trees. He grew excited and performed the handseals again. This time the wind blew ever greater seeming to grow with his excitement at performing the technique. Yosai controlled his mind now, performing the handseals swiftly and raising his arms again. There could be no doubt, the wind moved this time at HIS command.

(this is my first training post, did I do everything right?)

Yousai found himself again at his favorite training spot. He warmed up with some common stretching excersises. He pulled out some easy jutsus and began practicing. Cycling through jutsu he began to focus on his new wind jutsu. He reviewed this as many times as possible. With a motion of his hands the wind began to move this way and that. It was mostly away from him, practicing deflection of simple attacks. He practised summonning his charka, and focussing his intention.

Yousai became a little tired and sat down to eat the lunch he had packed for himself. He munched on some rice as he casually lounged around in the sun. Today was a drier day than the previous days he had been out. He looked up at the sky for a few moments. He got back up and began practising his wind release again. This time with a noticable lack of focus and hard work that he previously approached his training with. "I guess today will just be a relaxed day." Suddenly he had the desire to gently float on the breeze. Some of the gusts that he was kicking up were probably strong enough to carry him up a little way.

He closed his eyes and put his chakra into the winds around him calling forth a gust of air beneath his feet. The wind was slowly summoned beneath his feet but quickly took his balance. He was tripped onto his ass, slamming into the slick grassy ground beneath him. He got up and casually brushed himself off. He bent his legs and attempted to focus his mind again, closing his eyes. The wind blew in gusts around him as he concentrated. The wind blew stronger and stronger flapping his clothes and ripping the branches off of the trees. The grass blew ferociously in the wind. Yousai began to feel drained, but he kept putting more chakra into the wind. "It must be strong enough to lift me." he thought internally. He kept his eyes squeezed shut as a large flew past him. the wind flared in all directions before it died down leaving Yousai to fall to his knees in exhaustion.

He breathed heavily looking at his hands that felt strange and clammy from holding the handsign. His energy was drained signifigantly. He fell onto his back and looked up at the vast sky. Another small breeze blew softly over him, this one natural, as if to mock him.

Yousai continued his training in the swirling damp clearing that was his favorite training spot. "Obviously I'm not going to be able to ride the wind with the force of the wind alone." When in doubt, he had always heard at the academy, go back to the basics. Yousai came to a little stream. The water trickled and rolled of the rocks creating a soothing sound. The stream was serene and rolled over gnarled twigs and rocks. The sound made Yousai need to go pee, so he did, right there out in nature. next to the running water.

Yousai focussed his chakra towards his feet. His aura began to show there at the ends of his feet. He slowly stepped out onto the water. Performing the basic shinobi miracle he walked out into the stream just as if it were solid ground. Once in the middle of the stream he closed his eyes and turned towards the current. His feet layed atop the water but as the water moved Yousai was forced to shift his balance slightly. It became more and more difficult as Yousai continued.

Yousai carefully brought his hands to his chest holding the Ram handsign to keep his balance. He kept his eyes closed focussing his mind. Internally he recited the affirmation "I am balanced throughout all things." The longer he held the stance the more he felt his chakra being drained. He began to let his mind enter a relaxed meditative trance. He stood for what felt like a very long time. Knowing his limit, he began to walk to the other side of the stream. He released his chakra once again on solid ground. He sat down and meditated taking a break.

Once he had the energy he would again walk out onto the water. This time he stayed in the center of the stream for a little longer. He again entered the meditative space. He brought his right foot into the inseam of his left thigh resting on the water with one foot. He returned his hands to his chest. The current washed around his foot bobbing him up and down slightly but he remained foccussed, his face unchangingly concentrated.

After a while he changed feet. Taking his left foot in his hand he pulled it against his butt stretching his calf. He then put his weight forward slowly extending his right arm and holding out his foot behind him. Suddenly he slipped and with a *SPLASH* he was sent beneath the water. He was swept along breifly before stepping out again on to the shore.

He gathered his energy again letting himself dry. He walked to a nearby tree, with each step concentrating his chakra to his feet still. He stood beside the tree and then suddenly flipped and landed sideways, on the side of the tree. He stayed sideways for as long as he could and then flipped back down to the earth. He continued this, bending his legs and jumping as high as he could. Catching the side of the tree with his feet. After several jumps he reached a point where he could no longer gain height. He marked this point with his kunai.

He returned to the stream taking the lotus position in the center. He gently floated along the surface, meditating. He rocked like a lily pad, floating his way slowly and peaceful downstream practicing his chakra control. He didn't know how long he stayed out training, but when he opened his eyes it was nightfall.
