Kanae had been working with clay a lot for the past few days. She was getting more skilled at it, but was tires of just making clay creatures. Kanae wanted to blow something up. Kanae looked through the scroll her grandmother had given her for any explosive jutsus. Flash Bang and Concussion Bomb looked promising, but Grenade was more powerful. Kanae decided to learn Grenade first and come back to the other two later.

Kanae took out a slot of training clay from her small mouth and placed it in her mouth. The training clay wouldn’t actually explode, but Kanae would be able to use it to work on her technique. She didn’t want to waste real clay after all. Kanae chewed the clay for about 6 seconds, sending small bursts of chakra into the clay. Once her chakra was spread evenly throughout the clay, Kanae spat the clay into her hand.

Kanae quickly formed a clay spider. She didn’t spend much time adding details since she was just going to blow it up. Kanae had chosen to create a spider because she detested them. She wasn’t scared of them, but she was sure she would enjoy watching one blow up. She had been bitten by a spider once and had never forgiven them.

Kanae performed the Katsu handseal and the spider grew to about 3 feet in length. Kanae had made it this large so she would be able to see exactly what was happening when she executed the jutsu. The explosion radius was supposed to be about 1 meter in size. The training clay wouldn’t actually explode, but just to be on the safe side, Kanae made the spider move 4 feet away from her. Once the spider was far enough away, Kanae formed the Katsu handseal again.

Kanae heard a loud pop and saw a large cloud of dust form around where she had last seen the spider. The training clay must have made a gust of air come out of the spider instead of an explosion. When the dust settled, Kanae saw that pieces of clay were scattered everywhere. She quickly gathered the pieces and dusted them off. When they were relatively clean, Kanae kneaded the clay pieces together and returned them to her pouch.

She decided to use flavored clay when she performed the jutsu this time. She pulled out a slot of clay at random and discovered that she had chosen chocolate clay. Kanae placed the clay in her mouth and started chewing. The flavored clay tasted a lot better than training or regular clay. The chocolate flavor did an especially good job of masking the taste.

After 6 seconds of sending her chakra into the clay, Kanae spat it out into her hands. Once again she formed a spider. She formed the Katsu handseal and they spider instantly became 3 feet long. Since favored clay would actually explode, Kanae sent the spider out about 2 meters. Once the spider had crawled there, Kanae formed the Katsu handseal.

This explosion was a lot louder than the previous one. The scroll had said that it was a weak explosion, so Kanae had been caught off guard. Kanae rubbed her ringing ears and muttered, “It also said that it could cause burns and lacerations, but nothing damaging. Since when are burns not damaging?”

Curiosity eventually got the better of her and Kanae walked over to the explosion area to examine the results. The explosion hadn’t been 1 meter in radius, but it was pretty close. Probably more like a 0.9 meter radius. There were several scorch marks on the ground, but the ground itself was still intact. Overall, Kanae was very pleased with the result.

“Concussion Bomb”
Rank: D-rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Powerful wind released from a clay bomb
Special: Refer to “Katsu”.
Consumes 1 slot, for one mouth.
(Maximum size: small sized creature)
(Maximum amounts: 2 creatures for one slot used)
Drawback: Time and preparation. Does not harm
Description: After molding and infusing a piece of clay, the user may form any creature they wish from the clay (spiders, birds, etc. Small size). This clay creation moves about, fulfilling the users desires. Upon command, this clay creature burst violently, but in a non-lethal fashion. From the burst of the clay creature, a powerful wind is released instead of an explosion. This wind covers a radius of 10 meters, and can knock down any unsafely secured items, sway trees about and kick up little debris. When contact is made with an enemy, the burst may knock them off balance, or feel like the equivalent of a hard punch (if used correctly). Anything beyond 10 meters will just feel the strong wind
Limit: Must know "Katsu", Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) at least once, D-ranked "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) and D-ranked "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)

Kanae arrived at a large grassy field and took out a scroll her grandmother had given her. She was ready to learn a new Sankuchi technique. After quickly scanning the scroll, Kanae decided on Concussion Bomb. Despite its name, Concussion Bomb didn’t really do all that much damage. It would still be useful for pranks, though.

Like most Sankuchi techniques, Kanae had to use Clay Infusion and Clay Life to form a clay creature before she could perform any other techniques. The scroll informed her that only small clay creatures could be made and that a maximum of 2 clay creatures could be created for each slot of clay used. Kanae decided just to create one clay creature for now. She was just learning the technique and didn’t want to make it too complicated.

Kanae also decided to make clay spiders again. She never got tired of watching spiders blow up. Kanae removed about one slot of training clay from her clay pouch. She placed the clay in her mouth and began chewing. As she chewed, Kanae sent small bursts of chakra into the clay.

Kanae made sure that her chakra was evenly distributed throughout the clay. This entire process only took about 6 seconds. Kanae spit the clay out into her hands and began kneading it. Then she quickly formed 8 tiny legs. Kanae added the head, shaped the body, and examined her work.

The spider was kind of plain, but Kanae wasn’t interested in adding details. She looked back at the scroll to review the specifics of the jutsu. The jutsu had a radius of 10 meters. Kanae performed the Katsu handseal and placed the enlarged spider on the ground. It had grown from 2 inches to 12 inches.

Kanae had the spider crawl 10.5 meters away from her. Once the spider was in the correct position, Kanae formed the Katsu handseal again. The spider immediately burst into tiny pieces of clay. The ground around where the spider had been standing was torn up. Dust and bits of grass were thrown up in the air.

Although Kanae was out of the jutsu’s range, she still felt a strong gust of wind. Kanae smiled and waited for the dust to settle. The jutsu might not have been powerful enough to kill someone, but it was still pretty strong. Kanae gathered the pieces of clay that had been scattered when the spider exploded. She thoroughly dusted each piece of clay off.

Once Kanae was satisfied that the training clay was clean, she put it back in her mouth. Once again she chewed the clay and sent small bursts of chakra into the clay. Then Kanae spit the clay into her hands and split it in half. This time she was making two small spiders. Kanae adeptly formed first one and then the other spider.

She performed the Katsu handseal and sent the enlarged spiders about 11 meters away from her. The spiders were standing side by side. Kanae performed the Katsu handseal once again and the spiders exploded. The result was similar to her first attempt, but stronger. Kanae had to take a few steps back because of the force of the wind.

“Flash Bang”
Rank: D-ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clay bomb that can blind its enemies.
Special: Refer to “Katsu”
Consumes 1 slot for one mouth.
(Maximum size: small sized creature)
(Maximum amount: 1 creature for one slot used)
Drawback: Time and preparation. Non-lethal
Description: After molding and infusing a piece of clay, the user may form any creature they wish from the clay (spiders, birds, etc. Small size). This clay creation moves about, fulfilling the users desires. Upon command, this clay creature will explode, leaving a blinding light in its wake. This flash of light is similar to any normal “Light bombs” but somewhat weaker. The flash only covers a 5-meter radius, and blinds its enemies for less then 3 seconds, and slightly dazed afterwards for 2 seconds. The explosion does not harm enemies what so ever.
Limit: Must know "Katsu", Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) at least once, D-ranked "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) and D-ranked "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)

After finishing Concussion Bomb, Kanae decided to learn another jutsu. She quickly scanned the scroll of Sankuchi techniques her grandmother had given her. There was only one D-rank jutsu left, so Kanae decided to learn that one. It was called Flash Bang and created a blinding flash of light when a clay creature exploded. A maximum of one small creature could be created from one slot of clay.

Kanae continued reading the scroll, committing the specifics of the jutsu to memory. Flash Bang affected anything within a 5 meter radius and would blind an opponent for 3 seconds. The opponent would still be dazed 2 seconds after that. It wasn’t a long time, but it could be useful if used correctly. Kanae tore off about 1 slot of vanilla flavored clay from the lump in her pouch.

She was tired of the taste of training clay. Flavored clay tasted much better and reminded Kanae of chewing gum. Kanae placed the clay in her mouth and began chewing on it. As she chewed, she sent small bursts of chakra into the clay. Chewing the clay allowed Kanae to spread her chakra out evenly.

After 6 seconds, Kanae spit the moist clay into her hands. As she kneaded the clay, she thought about what clay creature she was going to make. She had been creating spiders, but she wanted something that moved faster. Kanae could only create clay creatures that were 14 inches or smaller with this jutsu, so her options were kind of limited. After a few more moments of thinking, Kanae decided to create a bird.

The robin was one of Kanae’s favorite birds, so she decided on that type of bird. Kanae meticulously formed each part of the bird. Slowly and carefully Kanae formed the head, body, feet and wings. After the main outline was done, she went back and added detail like the eyes and the indentations of each individual feather. She added tiny ridges and grooves to the clay robin’s feet. Kanae carefully formed each of the robin’s eight claws.

Soon Kanae had a fairly realistic 2 inch clay replica of a robin. Once the robin was finished, Kanae used the Katsu handseal to enlarge the bird to 14 inches. Then Kanae commanded the robin to fly about 6 meters from her. Once the bird was in position, Kanae performed the Katsu handseal again. The clay bird immediately exploded.

The explosion created a bright flash of light. Kanae was far enough away that she wasn’t blinded, but she saw several small spots as she looked away. Satisfied with the jutsu’s results, she took out another slot of clay from her clay pouch. This time she wanted to work on performing the jutsu more quickly. She placed the clay in her mouth – this time it was chakra flavored – and began chewing.

After 6 seconds, Kanae spat the clay into her hands. Once again she formed a robin, but she didn’t add as many details this time. When she was finished, Kanae performed the Katsu handseal. Kanae instructed the enlarged clay bird to fly 6 meters away from her. The bird immediately started flying to the position Kanae had selected.

As soon as the bird was in the right place, Kanae performed the Katsu handseal. Like before, the bird exploded as soon as the handseal was formed. Once again there was a bright flash of light, but it seemed brighter to Kanae this time. It still wasn’t close enough to blind her, though. Kanae was proud of the progress she had made with the jutsu.

Kanae decided to try the jutsu again with a different type of animal. She removed a slot-sized chunk of strawberry flavored clay from her clay pouch and placed it in her mouth. She chewed on the clay, sending small bursts of chakra into it. As she chewed, she thought about what animal she wanted to make next. After a few moments, she decided to make a snake.

Kanae removed the clay from her mouth and began kneading it. Then she rolled the clay between her hands until she had created a cylinder shape. Kanae made one end of the clay taper into a point – that side was the snake’s tail. Then she worked on the snake’s broad, flat head. Once she was finished with the head, Kanae used her fingernail to make several indentations on the snake’s underside.

These indentations were the snake’s scales. Once she was finished, she performed the Katsu handseal. Kanae lowered the 14 inch snake to the ground and had it crawl about 6 meters away from her. When the clay snake was in the right position, Kanae formed the Katsu handseal again. The snake exploded and emitted a bright flash of light.

The flash was just as bright as the last one Kanae had made, but it seemed smaller. Kanae realized that this was because the snake wasn’t airborne like the robins she had made previously. Instead of spreading out in a circle, the snake’s flash spread out in a dome. Kanae’s jutsu had also kicked up some dust and grass into the air. It wasn’t that much though, because the explosion hadn’t been very big.

Mokuton no Jutsu (Wood Release Skill)
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: With this skill, or release, the user is now capable of using, and performing techniques that deal with the element of Wood. This means that any NinJutsu or specialized TaiJutsu that deals the Wood Release will need this in order to be performed correctly.
Limit: Must have Doton no Jutsu (Earth Release Skill) and Suiton no Jutsu (Water Release Skill).

Link to previous training: narutoforumrp.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=villageofwaterfall&action=display&thread=84532&page=2

Comparing the Wood Release to the Clay Life technique had given Kanae a couple of ideas about performing the jutsu. When Kanae performed Clay Life, she placed a piece of clay in her mouth and sent small bursts of chakra into the clay. She continued doing this until there was a sufficient amount of chakra in the clay. She also chewed the clay so that her chakra would be evenly distributed throughout the clay. For the Wood Release, Kanae could start out with earth chakra and slowly add small amounts of water chakra to it. While she was doing this, she could make sure the water chakra was evenly distributed throughout the earth chakra.

The next step for Clay Life was to decide what kind of creature she wanted to make. Kanae could make any creature she wanted to, but if she chose a large creature, like an elephant, it would be smaller than the actual creature when she completed the jutsu. Likewise, Kanae knew that she couldn’t expect to make a 30 foot tall tree right from the beginning. She would have to start small and build her way up.

The Wood Release contained a large variety of jutsu types. Kanae could make trees, wood, seeds, flowers, and so much more. Kanae thought it would be best to stick to the basics for now, though. She was trying to learn the Wood Release, so she would start off by just making wood. Wood wasn’t alive, so it would probably be easier than making something that was – like a tree.

After deciding what kind of creature she wanted to make for the Clay Life technique, Kanae started sculpting the creature with her clay. She usually started with the basic outline and then added details. Kanae was trying to create wood, not a creature, but she could use the same line of thinking. While combining her earth and water chakra, Kanae could create a picture in her mind of what she was trying to create. Then she could add details to her mental picture, and hopefully create a replica of what she saw in her mind.

Kanae decided that it might help to have a model. She stood up, stretched, and began walking towards the forest. She collected several different samples of wood. Kanae took bark from several different kinds of trees and a couple of branches. When she was finished, Kanae took the wood samples and placed them neatly in front of the rock where she had been sitting.

As a note though you can't use any jutsu you learn in the Event until it ends because chronologically this thread happens beforehand. In case you didn't already know.

Kanae was tired of thinking about the Wood Release theoretically. She thought she had a pretty good grasp of how it should be done. The only thing left for her to do was experiment and learn by trial and error. Kanae wasn’t planning on letting her previous work go to waste, though. She quickly reviewed what she had learned so that she could incorporate it into her training.

First, Kanae needed to start gathering earth chakra. It didn’t really matter where she gathered the chakra, so Kanae chose the palm of her right hand. Kanae had decided to start out with earth chakra because it was the foundation of the Wood Release. Trees, flowers, and other plants could not exist without earth. Clay could also be considered a type of earth, and that was what she started with when performing the Clay Life technique.

Kanae began gathering earth chakra into her palm. She found that cupping her hand made it a little easier for her to gather chakra. It was as if she was holding on to the chakra she had gathered. Kanae had predicted that she would need a lot of chakra, but she wasn’t sure how much she would need. Kanae still had to add water chakra as well.

She would have to be careful not to gather more chakra than she could control at once. After gathering chakra for a while, Kanae stopped. She continued to hold the chakra she had gathered previously, making sure not to let any escape. Once the earth chakra was stable, Kanae began gathering water chakra into the fingertips of her left hand. The Clay Infusion technique had given her an idea about how to go about adding the water chakra.

When Kanae used Clay Infusion, she sent small bursts of chakra into the clay. She also chewed the clay to make sure her chakra was distributed evenly throughout it. Kanae wanted to attain a similar result with her earth and water chakra. The earth chakra she had gathered would be like the clay. Kanae could send small bursts of water chakra into the earth chakra at different locations.

After she had been adding water chakra for some time, Kanae decided to go ahead and try to make wood. She wasn’t using any handseals, so she would have to rely completely on her mental picture. Kanae carefully studied the pieces of wood in front of her. She didn’t need to make any particular type of wood, but it might help if she chose only one sample to recreate. It would be easier than trying to combine multiple elements from the different pieces of wood and create something new.

After studying the pieces of wood for a minute, Kanae settled on the piece of pine tree bark. She picked the bark up with her left hand and brought it closer to her so she could examine it more thoroughly. The bark was thick and scaly. As Kanae moved it around, small pieces flaked off of the bark. The surface of the bark was uneven with long ridges running all the way through the bark.

The bark wasn’t especially strong; Kanae was able to snap it with one hand. Kanae continued observing the pine bark for a few more minutes before setting it down. Kanae closed her eyes and tried to duplicate the piece of bark she had been observing in her mind’s eye. She added the myriad details she had noticed in the actual piece of pine bark to her mental picture. Within a few minutes, she was satisfied and ready to start creating wood.

Kanae cupped her left hand and held it slightly above her right hand with her left palm facing down. Kanae focused all of her energy towards creating wood with the chakra stored between her two hands. At first, Kanae just concentrated on turning her water and earth chakra into wood. After a several minutes of this, Kanae began trying to create a piece of pine bark. Kanae’s eyes were still closed, so she couldn’t see what kind of progress she was making.

Kanae didn’t mind, though. It was more important for her to focus on her chakra and mental picture instead of worrying about how the jutsu was coming along. Once she was finished, Kanae opened her eyes. She felt weight in her palm, so she knew that she had created something. Kanae laughed as she saw a tiny, fingernail-sized piece of bark in her hand.

Kanae thought the result was pretty good for her first attempt – she had actually managed to make wood. The tiny piece of wood she had created was identical to the one she had used as a model, only smaller. Because of this, Kanae knew she was using the right method. She just needed to gather a lot more chakra. After that, the jutsu should work like it was supposed to.

Kanae placed the piece of wood she had created next to its model. Before attempting the jutsu again, she stretched and got into a comfortable position. Kanae didn’t want anything to distract her and make her lose focus. When she was comfortable, Kanae cupped her right hand in front of her with her palm facing upward. She began gathering earth chakra into her palm.

Kanae knew that she needed much more chakra than she had gathered on her previous attempt. She also needed to make sure the ratio of earth chakra to water chakra was correct. Kanae decided to gather a moderate amount of earth chakra and the begin adding water chakra. Once she had enough water chakra, she would start gathering earth chakra again until she had enough. Hopefully this would make it easier for Kanae to keep her earth and water chakra balanced.

Once Kanae had gathered enough earth chakra she began gathering water chakra into the fingertips of her left hand. She then sent small bursts of water chakra into the earth chakra at different locations. This helped Kanae spread out her water chakra and prevent it from being clumped together. After a couple of minutes of this, Kanae decided that it was time to start adding more earth chakra. But before she could do that, Kanae needed to make sure she could maintain control of the chakra.

Kanae wasn’t used to working with so much chakra, so she would have to take the next few steps slowly. Kanae added some earth chakra to the chakra she had already gathered and stopped. She just held the chakra for a little while until she felt comfortable with adding more. By doing this, Kanae was able to double the amount of chakra she had. At this point, Kanae began adding water chakra again.

Kanae carefully began adding water chakra to different locations on the earth chakra she had gathered. Kanae kept her right hand – the hand holding the earth chakra – still to decrease her chances of messing up. As Kanae added water chakra, she paid attention to the earth/water ratio of her chakra. Kanae had to stop adding chakra several times and wait until she was used to manipulating such a large amount of chakra. After that, Kanae went back to adding more water chakra.

Soon Kanae’s earth/water chakra ratio was the same as it was on her previous attempt. Kanae ended her chakra flow and paused for a few moments before continuing with the next step. Some time had passed since her last attempt to make wood, so Kanae decided to study the pine bark again, just to be on the safe side. It didn’t take her as long as it had before to observe the piece of wood. She already had a general idea of what the piece of wood looked like and was just refreshing her memory on specific details.

When Kanae was done looking at the wood, she set it back down in front of her. Kanae closed her eyes and leaned back with her head tilted slightly upwards. The feeling of the warm sun against her face helped Kanae relax and focus on her mental picture. Kanae worked on making her mental picture a replica of the piece of pine bark. Seeing the piece of wood again had been helpful and Kanae was able to finish this step quickly.

Now the only thing left for Kanae to do was make the wood. She kept her eyes closed because she found it easier to concentrate that way. Kanae superimposed her mental picture on the hand holding her chakra. Kanae willed the earth and water chakra she had gathered to combine and make wood. But not just any kind of wood; Kanae wanted to create a piece of wood that was identical to her mental picture.

After a few moments, Kanae felt the weight of an object in her palm. She slowly opened her eyes and examined the results of the jutsu. The piece of wood she had created this time was much larger. Kanae picked up the pine bark model she had used and compared the two pieces of wood side by side. This time, Kanae couldn’t find any noticeable differences between them.

Hanabi no Shinka (Fire Flower of Evolution)
Rank: “E” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive, Defensive, Pre-requisite
Effect: Creates a small flower made of flames with six petals that are each six inches long.
Special: “Hand Seals”- Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger, extending the left hand away from the body, then using the thumb, index, and middle fingers in a triangle-like formation.
Drawback: This ability has no real value beyond using it within a combo attack.
Description: This jutsu creates a flower made entirely of flames. The user performs the required hand seals, channeling chakra through the left hand’s thumb, index, and middle fingers. The left hand is then moved away from the body, and the three mentioned fingers form a triangle shape, while the other two fingers close like the user would make a fist. The built chakra then move upwards and out of the hand, sparking to life and creating a flower with six petals that are six inches long each. If the triangle formation is ever broken, then the entire flame disappears. This ability can almost be treated like a fighting style stance. Each use of a Hanabi no Shinka will require a set amount of petals to be used; after the petals have all been used, the ability must be re-performed. Any time that a part of the Hanabi no Shinka has been destroyed, so long as the whole flower is not destroyed, it will slowly regenerate unless it has been used for an attack.
Limit: Requires the Fire Release

Kanae scanned her scroll of Fire Release jutsus looking for an interesting jutsu to learn. She had just learned how to use the Fire Release, so she didn’t want anything that was too difficult. One jutsu in particular caught her eye. It was called Fire Flower of Evolution and was only an E rank. Not only that, it was also the prerequisite for several other jutsus Kanae thought were interesting as well.

Kanae set the scroll down beside her and began carefully reading the instructions. The first thing she needed to do was form the handseals. Kanae meticulously formed each one, being careful not to make a mistake. The next thing she had to do was form a triangle with three of her fingers. Kanae wasn’t exactly sure how to do this, so she played around with several different configurations.

Once Kanae figured out how to make the triangle, she began channeling chakra into her left thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Once she thought she had enough, Kanae moved her left hand away from her body and formed the triangle shape. Immediately, a burst of flame appeared at the end of Kanae’s fingers. She was so startled by the flame’s sudden appearance that she accidently broke the triangle formation of her fingers. The flame she had created was extinguished almost as quickly as it had appeared.

After a few moments, Kanae attempted the jutsu again. She performed the required handseals and moved her left hand away from her body. The sudden appearance of the flame had reinforced the necessity of that particular step. Channeling chakra into her fingers, Kanae once again created a triangle formation with her thumb and first two fingers. This time she was ready for the flame that appeared and didn’t break the triangle formation.

The flower Kanae created only had three petals on it. The scroll said it was supposed to have six, so Kanae assumed that she needed more chakra. Sure enough, when Kanae began adding chakra another petal appeared. It grew until it was six inches long before a fifth petal appeared. The sixth petal was attained in a similar fashion.
