"Oto Dangan" (Sound Bullet)
Rank: C-B rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Small invisible sound waves pass through opponents body, but harms body on the molecular level.
Special: Horse, Monkey, Bird, Ox, (Hold) Tiger
Drawback: Some armors may greatly reduce the effectiveness of this jutsus. Other (large) sources of sound may cancel out this jutsu. Also, the users hands at the same time cannot be used for anything else (explained below). Visible to those with chakra seeing powers.
Special: Horse, Monkey, Bird, Ox, (Hold) Tiger
Description: While holding the the tiger handseal, chakra begins to flow between the small gap left by the two hands being held together. The user proceeds to position the handseal held over his/her own mouth now. All sounds emitted through the handseal are converted and charged by the chakra, to become far more deadlier. The chakra compresses, and alters the sounds wave lengths, forcing them into a smaller area (roughly the size of senbon needles). The entire process occurs within fractions of a sec and the user is able to create multiple sound bullets. The sound bullet itself travels at amazing speeds and are extremely hard to dodge.
-Upon hitting the opponent, the sound bullets travel right through the human body. Once inside the body, the sound bullet clashes against every cell in the vicinity, vibrating them violently. Water retained in the cell vibrate so much, that they explode upon themselves. To the opponent, he/she will suffer searing pain in the area where the sound bullet hits.
-This jutsu is best used on open extremities of the opponent
C-Rank:The user is able to create three sound bullets that travel a maximum of 40 meter
B-Rank:The user is able to create 6 sound bullets that travel a maximum of 60 meters.

Limit: Must have sound release, and ultra sound vibration

The mist was thick in the air as always. It was the Mist Village for a reason afterall. Kaito headed to a small wooded area where he wouldn't be bothered as he attempted to learn this new technique. Shouldn't be too difficult. He would attempt to master it that day. It was the whole reason he had taken the trouble to wake up. He didn't know much offensive wise. It wouldn't be too nice if he could block whatever came his way, but couldn't counter with a move of his own. Learning this jutsu would be a tremendous help to him.

With the morning mist thick in the air, Kaito struggled to read the scroll containing the instructions on how to perform the jutsu. Still, he managed to make it out after a couple of minutes. He shook himself loose to prepare himself for the day ahead. He focused on a tree about 20 meters away. Kaito took a second to mentally prepare himself for this. He quickly formed the Horse, Monkey, Bird, Ox and Tiger seals making sure to hold the Tiger seal. He focused his chakra into the small gap between his fingers whilst still holding the seal, as he brought his hands up to his mouth and made a small high pitched noise. He felt a small burst of air as the chakra quickly increased the speed of the sound. Much to Kaito's dismay, he saw no effect on the tree, however.

He felt a small bit of disappointment, but no one got everything right on the first try, right? He'd just have to try again. He quickly performed the handseals again, this time focusing more chakra in his hands and once again let loose a small high pitched sound. He felt the small burst of air again, and saw a result this time. Instead of the tree sitting there completely unscathed, a piece of bark seemed to be hit by an invisble force. It wasn't much, but it was enough for it to lazily let loose of the tree it once held on to.

Kaito was delighted by this, and readied himself again. He already felt a little drained, but he'd try it once again and then grab some breakfast. He might even treat himself to something nice if he was successful. Kaito performed the handseals once again, and once again he held the Tiger. He focused the chakra in his hands again, only a little more than he did before. He let out a high pitched noise again, but it was just a little louder. He felt a slightly stronger burst of air as the sound left his mouth and went through the chakra. Kaito saw a piece of bark fly off of the tree and a sense of accomplishment washed over him. However, he hadn't used his chakra wisely. It had only been a few minutes and he felt tired. He decided it was time to take a quick break, and walked triumphantly back to his home.

Kaito returned from breakfast with renewed vigor. This time he would try and strike the tree further than 20 meters. In fact, he thought he'd double it. He'd just have to make sure to conserve his chakra as much as possible. Otherwise, he'd wear himself out quickly. He wouldn't forgive himself if he didn't have a good grasp on this by the end of the day.

Kaito took a deep breath and concentrated on another tree. He eyed the piece of bark he would try to hit carefully. He took some time to plan this out. Instead of focusing more chakra this time, he'd use a moderate amount compared to his last attempt. He'd also try using a different pitch. Something he could do louder.

The young ninja took yet another deep breath. He quickly formed the necessary handseals and held on Tiger. He focused some chakra into the gap between the fingers again and qucikly pulled his hands up to his mouth and let loose a low pitched noise this time. He felt the small bit of air as the sound passed through the chakra, amplified and sped up. However, the tree was unaffected. Kaito should've expected it. He knew that lower sounds were at a slower frequency. Still, he couldn't let that get him down. Everyone makes mistakes, but that one should've been obvious. It might have been useful from 10 meters away, but he was 4 times that distance from his ferocious enemy, the tree.

Loud and high pitched is gonna be the way to go with this one, he thought to himself. Maybe a small increase in chakra as well. Not too much, or I'll be worn out like last time. And I really don't want to have to take another break like that.

Kaito performed the handseals again, and held on Tiger yet again. It was second nature to him now. He focused a slightly larger amount of chakra to help amplify the noise that would come out. He quickly raised his hands to his mouth again, and this time he let out a loud high pitched noise that was similar to a squeal. He felt the small kick of air he'd become accustomed to. This time it was a little stronger. A hopeful sign.

Kaito saw exactly what he wanted to. The exact piece of bark he had been targeting flew off of the tree. His aim was getting much better, as was his ability to perform the jutsu at a distance. He let out a sigh of relief. So far he was doing well. Kaito was ready for the next step: multiple sound bullets.

(20/30)

Kaito took a breath. Everything was going well so far. He looked at the scroll once more to see if he had missed anything. Lo and behold, he noticed that he had only been trying to manifest a single bullet. He realized then, that he could attempt more than one in one go. He was a little angry for not considering trying the whole process with multiple bullets at once. Still, this why he trained; so that he wouldn't make simple mistakes like this on the field of battle. He could have hit someone with three of them instead of one. It would almost cripple them for a second or two. Especially if he hit a vital organ.

With this knowledge, he calmed himself down for a few seconds. He knew what to do. The motions of the jutsu had already become second nature to him. He took a minute to breathe and focus. He couldn't waste a lot of chakra on this. Should he get this down, he planned to train more that day. He all but had this technique in the bag, and if someone attacked him, they wouldn't be too comfortable with pure sound running through their body.

He focused on yet another tree. He readied himself to perform three of the high pitched, loud shouts he used to successfully take the bark off of the previous two. First, he picked two pieces of bark that would be his victims. Kaito then performed the necessary handseals to focus his chakra, holding the tiger and focusing his chakra into his hands. He was thirty meters away. Enough to ensure that he would hit his target. He raised his hands to his mouth and let out the loud, high pitched noise that he would utilize from this point on with this technique. As he felt the small kick of air that let him know the sound had passed through the chakra, he quickly adjusted his aim slightly above his previous target and let the noise loose again. He felt a second kick of air, and he knew that he was successful in at least producing two bullets in one go.

As he saw two pieces of bark fly off the tree, one right after the other, Kaito felt confident. Unfortunately though, his aim was off by just a little bit. That could have been the difference between hitting a target's arm, and missing it completely. Still, he had successfully let loose two sound bullets in rapid succession.

He would now try for three. He would keep practicing until he could hit the right pieces of bark from the tree at forty meters away. He shook himself loose and concentrated on the exact three pieces he would aim to hit. He focused on them for a good thirty seconds, even making the tiger seal, holding it to his mouth, and aiming as quickly as he could with it until it was second nature. It should be easy enough. He had picked a straight vertical line to represent the stomach, chest, and head of an opponent.

With this in mind, he quickly performed the handseals holding the tiger once again. As he focused the chakra to his hands and raised them to his mouth, he made sure to not waste time, and went ahead and aimed for the first one. He let loose the loud high-pitched noise, and felt a kick of air. He quickly aimed for his second target above the first one, and made the noise again. A second kick of air, and he aimed for the third target. Eye level, from forty meters away, he let loose the noise a third time and felt the kick of air again as the sound passed through the chakra and sped up to an immense speed.

In rapid succession, the three pieces of bark he aimed for went flying off the tree. Kaito was relieved. He knew in reality, he wouldn't have the time to take that much care to aim, but he had successfully hit his mark. He felt good about his knowledge of the jutsu, and he knew he would be able to utilized it effectively in a fight if he had to.

Jigoku no Mimi (Hells ears) Universal
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: With this technique the user is capable of figuring the location of where a sound is coming from. This takes a post in order for this type of technique may take place.
Special: "Hand signs" and "Holds with the Boar"
Drawback: The user must stand still, with their eyes closed in order for the user to gain the capability of judging the direction of the sound.
Description: The way this works is that the user concentrates along the Sound release as they push the chakra along towards their ears. As the user does this, they concentrate on certain sounds that surrounds the user. If the sounds are in a large area and more sounds is created the user is capable of identifying the general location as to where the sound is coming from.
Limit: Sound Release

After he was confident that he had learned how to utilize the sound bullet, Kaito decided he would attempt to learn another jutsu. Something a little more simple, but useful nonetheless. He was somewhat tired after the intense amount of training earlier, but he still felt that he could pull off something like the Hell's Ears. He would just have to focus his chakra, and then he would attempt to hunt something down utilizing the jutsu.

He quickly performed the necessary handsigns and held the boar sign this time. He had been used to stopping on Tiger, but he had to remind himself that he wouldn't have to use that sign for every technique that he learned. Still, he snapped his focus back to the task at hand. He focused his chakra to his ears and closed his eyes. He heard quite a bit around him in the wooded area. There were birds, insects, and some animals scrounging around. One of the sounds was somewhat unique though, in that it was almost a chirping sound, but not from a bird. Rather it sounded as if it was a small mammal.

Kaito concentrated on the sound in an attempt to flush the others out. However, the other sounds didn't go away. He got something of a direction as to where the sound was coming from, but couldn't make it out clearly enough. Frustrated, he broke the technique. He took in a couple of deep breaths, and relaxed himself. He was being overly ambitious, and that wasn't going to help him in this situation.

So he concentrated again. He went ahead and closed his eyes, and started to listen. He located the sound again, but it was much fainter without his chakra focused in his ears. He performed the handsigns, and held on boar again. Kaito then focused his chakra into his ears again while also making sure to pay attention to the sound. It became more and more clear the more he focused his chakra into his ears. The other sounds were there, but they weren't as loud as before, and the certainly weren't as clear as this one. He felt as if he got a good fix on where the sound was coming from.

It seemed somewhat close by, and probably in the trees. It was coming from the northwest, and that's the direction Kaito headed after he once again, broke the jutsu. He walked slowly and quietly, making sure that he wouldn't disturb whatever was making the noise. Then suddenly he heard the small high pitched chirping he had been focusing so hard on. He looked up to see an acorn drop onto his head, right between his eyes. He grabbed the area in pain, and almost shouted, but he didn't want to scare his “prey” away. So he risked looking up again, and there was the source of the sound. A squirrel gathering nuts, and said squirrel had been polite enough to try and share with Kaito. At least that's how he preferred to view it.

Kaito felt he had a good grasp on the technique, and decided he would head home for the day. He would return the next day, well rested and ready to train again.

Kaito awoke the next day with renewed vigor. While he was tired from yesterday's intensive training, he wouldn't feel right if he didn't do the same today. However, he figured he might try playing some tricks on people, while training at the same time. Should be fun, right? He put on his clothes, and headed straight into town.

The mist wasn't as thick today, which was nice. It also meant that the village was livelier than usual and many people were out and about. Kaito was going to try and relay a message to someone just by tapping on a surface. The jutu seemed simple enough to perform, and it would be a good asset for communication during a mission. He loved the idea of being able to clearly communicate without having to give away his position.

Kaito saw the first person he would prank. A seedy looking guy was checking out a pretty attractive woman. The woman herself was at a stall looking at fruit. Kaito went ahead and performed the necessary handseals as discreetly as possible, and focused his chakra in his hand. He approached the stall and began to look at some of the apples the vendor had for sale. However, he was watching the woman out of the corner of his eye intently. She leaned over and laid a hand on the stall, and Kaito knew that this was his chance. He shot a message saying, “Hey baby, you sure got a nice ass,” to the woman. The woman just scratched her ear a little and seemed somewhat confused.

Kaito assumed this mean he hadn't tried hard enough. It seems that he would need to focus a little more chakra into his hand. Not too much of an issue though. He performed the handseals discreetly again, making sure that no one saw him do it. This time he focused a little more chakra into his hand, and sent a message saying, “Bitch didn't you hear me? I said you got a nice ass!” This time the woman snapped around and stared directly at the seedy looking man. He knew he'd been caught. She smacked him hard enough to knock him back into a wall.

Kaito giggled a little, and performed the handseals yet again. He couldn't resist what he was about to do. He walked up to the wall the man was still sitting against and sent a message saying, “Caught you checkin' that lady out didn't I?” At this the man looked shocked and confused, but didn't have time to question Kaito as he was already well on his way elsewhere in the market.

Suiton - Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Dragon Projectile)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Creates a massive sized like Dragon to attack the opponent when used upon.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Suiryuudan no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Water Element. The ninja does a long string of hand seals which then causes a column of water in the form of a dragon to rise from the water and then strike their target.
Limit: Water Release

[0/80]

Kaito decided that he had caused enough mischief in the market, and decided to train elsewhere. He headed to a lake that he knew contained a good bit of water. For his next attempt, he was going to need it. This technique was going to take a good amount of concentration, and Kaito was going to really have to focus on conserving his chakra and controlling the technique.

Kaito relaxed himself, and took a deep breath. The task ahead of him was going to be long and arduous, but the results would be worth it. He calmly collected himself and looked at the scroll he had brought from home in case he got tired of messing with people in the market. The technique was going to be pretty difficult for someone of his level, but he wouldn't quit until he learned it. No matter how difficult it was.

The time for contemplating was over. The time for action was now. Kaito went through the long string of handseals, but quickly knew something was wrong. What a rookie mistake, Kaito had already messed up the sequence of handseals. It's what happens when you spend too much time thinking and not enough time acting. He looked over the scroll again, and made sure he memorized the sequence.

He took another deep breath, and focused again. This time, he performed the handseals correctly and focused his chakra towards the lake. He began to attempt to form a column of water, and it looked as if he was about to succeed. However, only a few seconds in, the small column of water that formed collapsed and fell back into the lake.

Kaito cursed, but he had expected this to be harder than the previous techniques that he learned. Still, he was having trouble with the most basic part of the jutsu. He took a breath and decided to take it slow. He performed the handseals once again, and began to focus his chakra towards the water. This time, slowly but surely, a decent size column of water began to form.

“Good,” thought Kaito, “I've got the base of it ready.”

He began to form the scales out in the water. The more ferocious and real his dragon looked, the more likely it was that his opponent would be somewhat frightened by the image. Still,holding up the base of the dragon was proving to be exceedingly difficult. Kaito was beginning to get pissed.

He knew that this was going to be difficult, but he was barely able to form scales in water. Still, he'd have to keep trying. He continued to form more and more scales on the giant column, but it was too much. The base collapsed back into the lake. Kaito cursed, and spat on the ground. Then, he felt it. He had held the column too long. His chakra was low. He'd have to continue later. He was exhausted and his muscles ached. He would continue in the morning, but for now, Kaito would have to rest.

[Kaito Takihashi]

[10/80]

Kaito was sore, that was for sure. He knew that today was going to be rough. The technique was harder than he imagined. He walked back to the lake he was at the day before. His muscles ached, but he’d have to get over it. He stretched a little to loosen up. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, he thought to himself.

As he finished his stretches, Kaito took a deep breath. This jutsu was kicking his ass, and he knew it. He didn’t know if he’d be able to do it. No. He knew he would. It would just take a couple of tries is all. After he learned this, he’d have a really powerful move in his repertoire. Kaito took another deep breath and quickly performed the handseals necessary. He focused the chakra towards the calm lake. As he felt the tendrils of chakra connect with the tranquil water, he began to shape it again.

He began to focus the water into a base again. He kept building and building until it was the height he wanted. Holding it together was taking everything. Instead of scales, he began to form a head. However, the second he began to shape the snout, the whole thing fell apart. Kaito hadn’t paid enough attention to the whole picture. Because he lacked concentration he had failed to keep the dragon shape, and the whole thing just fell right back into the lake.

Kaito was frustrated. He knew he couldn’t let it get to him though. He took a deep breath to focus. This was going to be intense. It was going to draw the chakra out of him like crazy. Still, he’d just have to keep focusing on the final attack. He performed the string of handseals again.

Once again, he felt the chakra reach out towards the water, and began to form a column. Next was the face. He still kept the column of water held up this time though. He was getting better. Slowly but surely. Kaito began to focus on the face of the dragon, and began to form a snout. The water stretched out into a perfect shape. Now he would add some water to round out the head.

As he began to focus more chakra upwards to form the head, Kaito started to get tired. His chakra was already failing him. Still, he pushed the head towards the top. He created the eyes, and the mouth. Within the mouth, he made sure that the teeth looked as sharp as his katana. He was starting to make a fearsome beast. Next up were the scales.

[Nyu]

[Kaito Takihashi]

[20/80]

The dragon was coming along nicely. The scales were the next thing that Kaito would work on. Though, that attention to detail could cost him the entire creation. He knew that it would be difficult to concentrate on keeping the dragon together as well as creating each scale. Still, for a dragon to look like a dragon, it couldn't be smooth as a baby's bottom.

So Kaito set to work on forming the scales of the dragon. He knew there had to be an easier way to do this, but it was evading him at the moment. He'd have to continue to work through the pain he was beginning to experience. His muscles began to ache. He was using a lot of chakra to keep this creation together. This was beginning to get tough. He knew that this wasn't normally a jutsu for beginners. Still, he knew that it would be useful. He'd have a powerful offensive tool, and it would be very useful against tougher opponents.

The head was covered, that was a start. Now he just had to cover the rest of the dragon's body. Kaito knew he was probably worrying too much about appearances, but they served a purpose. And it was what he was supposed to make the dragon appear like. The scales slowly began to cover the body of the dragon. The process was getting tougher and tougher. Kaito was really struggling to continue and hang on with this one. He continued though.

“Halfway through,” he thought as the scales had reached halfway across the dragon's body.

Still, this was taking a remarkably long time for Kaito to completely cover the dragon. He figured that he'd be able to do better as he trained more. He realized he had a long way to go yet. After this, he'd still have to make the dragon attack.

As the last scale covered the dragon's tail, Kaito let out a sigh. And then it came crashing down. All of that hard work just fell into the water. Kaito could have screamed. It wouldn't have done any good. He had lost concentration for less than a second, and the whole thing had just fallen apart. He was going to have to pour more chakra into it. More than he already had been. It would hurt, but he wouldn't be able to completely concentrate in the midst of battle.

He couldn't give up on this though. This was a difficult jutsu to learn by all means. But, it was one that he knew would be worth it. He also knew that if he quit now, he didn't think that he'd have the willpower to make himself attempt it again. It had already caused him so much heartbreak.

So Kaito sighed, and performed the necessary handseals. Thus the process had begun... again. This time, he was sure he would accomplish his task. And if he didn't, he wouldn't give up until he had completed it. Even if it meant days of him training on this one technique.

[Kaito Takihashi]

[?/80]

Kaito once again concentrated on the water that lay before him. This was going to be it; he could feel it this time. The last attempt had almost crushed his will to keep attempting this jutsu, but he knew that it had to be done. Never had he let anything that he trained on overcome him. It wasn't in his nature to let something as simple as a jutsu defeat his willpower. No matter how complicated. He had such a grasp on sound, he felt it necessary as a Mist Ninja to at least have a decent grasp of water jutsu. And this would be such a jutsu to do so.

The chakra poured from Kaito's body and into the water to begin the creation of the dragon all over again. Kaito was more tired than ever, but this was nothing compared to how he would feel if he let this thing defeat him. He felt like he was taming a wild dragon and utilizing against his enemies. Even that was getting to far ahead. The dragon had to at least come into existence before it was to be utilized in any manner whatsoever. First, the base of the dragon.

Kaito calmly focused his chakra into the shape of a serpent whilst making sure it brought the water with it. This he had done before successfully. It was a small victory, but he'd take it as tired as he was. Next up was the head. This wasn't going to be easy. Though, he completed it last time, Kaito was exhausted now. He focused as much as he could into shaping the head into that of a mighty dragon. He made sure to pay extra attention to detail. Who was to say he couldn't make it his own? The eyes were crafted in such a manner that if you looked right into them, you'd feel them piercing your soul. The teeth were, once again, as sharp as Kaito's katana. The beast was beginning to look mighty again. Nay, it looked mightier than the previous one. Already, it could bring a lesser man to his knees with fear.

Still, there were details. Like the scales. Kaito's real enemy in this. He began to craft them again. This time, it was a little faster. He figured that he would get faster with it the more he practiced. If he ever managed to craft it completely, he knew he'd practice a few more times just so he would be able to do it almost instantly and without much thought. The scales had covered the head. Another small victory.

Kaito continued to concentrate and pour his chakra into the dragon as the scales were beiginning to near the end of the beast. Finally, they did so without the dragon falling apart. Kaito dared not breathe a sigh of relief this time. As for appearances, the ridges on the back would be the final aspect, and then Kaito could practice on creating it faster and actually targeting something with it.

[Kaito Takihashi]

[?/80]

The ridges, the final aspect of the beast that could one day be someone's doom. Kaito was already very tired by this point. He knew that he wouldn't finish this technique completely today. That didn't mean that he wouldn't finish building this fucking dragon though. He was so close. He couldn't let his body get in the way. He would run out of chakra soon though. He was going to have to get this thing done, and then he'd attempt to do it again before he called it quits for the day. Just to prove to himself that he could.

Ridges began to slowly rise out of the back of the dragon. With every centimeter they rose, Kaito felt more and more fatigue. He continued to pour more and more chakra into it though. It was almost there. After such a long process, he could see the end of the tunnel. This thing, this monster that he made. He felt a connection with it. It was easily the most difficult jutsu he had ever attempted. He knew that he would have accomplished something if he could just get this one last part finished.

Still, the ridges slowly rose. And they weren't moving any faster. Kaito was afraid to force them up faster as he was afraid he'd cause the structure of the rest of the dragon to become unstable. If it fell apart now, he didn't know what he'd do. He knew that he'd be pissed, but he wouldn't have the energy to pull another one together. He was worried now that he was going to pass out. Still, this was moot. Kaito was sure that he was going to get it this time.

And complete the dragon he did, the ridges on the back finally came into place. Before him was a magnificent beast. A dragon constructed completely out of water. He had done it. He had made the dragon. But could he do it again. Instead of attempting to move it this time, he simply let it fall into the water as he released the jutsu. He'd only be able to do it once more. Then he'd have to rest.

Kaito performed the handseals and once again focuse his chakra at the water. Bit by bit, a dragon rose out of it. He constructed it in a similar manner as he did last time, but this time, it took less time. And less chakra. Still, after he was satisfied that he could construct a dragon again, Kaito decided that he would have to end his training session for the day. He had nearly exhausted all of his chakra reserves simply making the water dragon come into existence, but now that he could do that, Kaito knew that all he'd have to do now is make it move with enough force to damage an opponent.

Kaito had decided to go home and sleep after the last training session. Today would be the day that he actually made real use of this jutsu that had already caused him so much pain. He still ached from the previous day's session, but that was to be expected. Kaito probably should've rested for a few more days or trained an easier jutsu in the meantime, but he wanted to master this one. This would be his signature. Especially considering the amount of work he'd put into it.

Firstly, he wanted to make sure he could craft it quickly. He also wanted to find out how much momentum it would take to move the construct. He figured it was going to take a large amount of force, and it would all have to be powered by his chakra. As he arrived at the lake, Kaito did a couple of stretches. He was looking forward to this, though his body ached in ways it hadn't before.

He'd fight through it. He formed the handseals necessary, and began to construct another dragon out of the water. It was still taking him time. He figured it would. The whole purpose of the first part of today's session was to get faster anyway. Before he let this one fall, though, Kaito started nudging the water dragon with his chakra in an effort to get it to move. It was much heavier than he anticipated. Still, he kept nudging it along in miniscule amounts. When the dragon started to move at a noticeable rate, Kaito was surprised at how much energy it was taking him to do it.

Kaito cut his control of the water and let the dragon fall apart. He was going to keep trying to build the beast faster. He performed the technique over and over again. Each time, he completely constructed the dragon faster and faster. From taking all day to taking only a few seconds, Kaito felt as if it was time to start trying to hit something with this jutsu.

So Kaito conjured another dragon out of the water. Now he'd have to make sure that he didn't overdo it or he wouldn't have the chakra to continue on. After the dragon was completed, Kaito worked his chakra into the being to coerce it into motion. He couldn't believe how much work it was taking to move water. He pushed more and more, but he couldn't get it at a decent speed before it hit the tree he had it aimed for. This was going to be tough. Kaito didn't anticipate the difficulty of actually moving the water dragon once he had actually built it.

Kaito shook his head. He should've known that that much water would be extremely difficult to move at high enough speed to do a decent amount of damage. He took a deep breath and did a few stretches. He was going to need to be limber to handle the remainder of this training session. He could tell it was far from over.
