71 out of 80
It has taken the entire day just to learn a technique. I glance toward the sky and notice that the sun is already heading toward setting. I frown slightly before returning to my rock creation. The time it takes to create the final rock is not as long as I had originally thought, in fact it took less than two minutes. The chakra appeared used to this type of creation so it moved more quickly than expected.
After almost a minute and a half of piling soil upon itself, my chakra was directed to smothering it together to be rid of any air within the rock. Because if air is present, my rock will not be hard enough and will simply fall apart as soon as Lara brings the hammer down. However, I feel near to no air within the rock. What air is present is removed in between my breaths. The perfect circular structure of the rock hidden beneath the Earth is complete since it only takes at least thirty seconds to harden.
I gradually push it upward until it pushes through the Earth. And as soon as it is fully submerged, I allow Lara to tend to all four rocks that I have present. I feel comfortable with my final creation and wonder if it is enough. Lara approaches the first rock and gradually smashes the hammer upon it. She hits it directly in the middle, attempting to split it in half. The sides of the rock fall off, creating a small pile of soil to land upon the ground. The soil is so small that it could possibly fill half of my hand.
The second and third rock are exactly the same. The two pieces of soil that broke away from these rocks are at least a hands full worth. “This is good.” Lara says with a smile. My maid approaches the final rock and raises the hammer. I have a strong feeling about this rock and I sense that this would be the strongest one I have created. I wait while Lara brings the hammer down and a loud thud soon fills the yard.
Both Lara and I take a moment after the hammer connects to see if anything has broken away. I am pleased to see that the entire rock remains hard and whole. Every piece of dirt that had been piled together by my chakra had remained within the rock. The surface appears hard and rock-like. Lara nods, giving me her approval. And since she specializes in Ninjutsu I am grateful for her teachings. “I feel you are ready to move on, My Lady.” She says with a slight bow. I nod and crosses my arms. “Good.”
