Izaya performed his handseals once more trtying to get the timimng right again. His hands began clumsily at first again like before, and then he started to get the hang of them fully. He gave a mild glance to master Waso and then tried the seals while applying chakra again. The clones rose from the piles of dirt that they where once made of. There top portions began to form and then as they stood fully and their faces formed they blew up once again. This time Izaya lept back in time, suffering only a mild blow back of concussive force. He stumbled back a few steps upon landing and shielded his eyes from the spray of dirt and debrie. "Damn, I don't get it!?" Izaya said outloud swinging his arm's in frustration. Master Waso watched from far away at a safe distance. "You need to work more on your control, and release the chakra in a timely manner, immediatly when you begin the last four seals. The trick is to lock the directives into the chakra as it is molding the soft mud to a form. It's delicate work...you have to find the right timing and perfect it so that the volatile chakra holds steady until you are ready to release it.

Izaya stared aty master Waso still feeling frustrated, and yet he relaxed and nodded in compliance. He slapped his hands together and gathered a chunk of chakra to his inner coil, enough so that he could play around without running his chakra un supervised. He finished gathering his chakra shortly and then made the proper hand seals, summoning the energy into the mud clones as they formed and then quickly he added more chakra right in the middle of the first of the last four seals. He finished the hand signs and took a few steps back as the clones began to form their faces and upper bodies. He watched closely as their leg's formed and then after that he saw as the clones stood firm, that he had finally perfected the...Pop! POP! BAM! BOOM!

Izaya let out a sigh of irritance as he watched the clones begin to self destruct and go unstable. First their arm's and legs blew apart, and as they fell to the gorund their entire bodies burst into dirt. Izaya rubbed the back of his head and then shrugged. Izaya streched his hands out and slapped them together again in order to perform the seals. He applied the chakra and released it twice in two spurts. The clones rose from the mud and stood firmly and tall, and as Izaya watched for a few moment's he started to think he had gotten things right. He sent one clone to run to the other end of the room but then they both blew up. Izaya let out a loud frustrated shout and dropped to his knees, slamming a fist to the ground. Master Waso saw this and spoke sternly.

Izaya was hard at work trying to get the clones to form without blowing up in his face. He was busy back at forming his handseals as fast as he could again, not using the application of chakra, running them from beginning to end and over again. Master Waso had resorted to sitting off to the side and watching from a distance while smoking his tobacco pipe. Ibizu had came out during the process, and stopped to take a minute to observe Izaya's progress and then he went out the hangar saying he had some things to do today, like going to collect some ship parts.

Izaya Had finished making his hand seals in the time that he'd be happy with in real combat and was now summoning more chakra to his inner coil. He was busy finishing the gathering of chakra when suddenly he whipped his hands into the hand seals, his eye's seemingly focused on something not in the room. His mind was steady at trying to run through the paces of this jutsu, waiting for the moment to usher in chakra for the explosive quality. He released the chakra for the initial elemental release and clone forming, and then he set his last four seals up with the volatile release. The clones began to form from the mud on the ground, rising and tugging their shoulder's upwards trying to rise like the living dead er something.

Izaya smirked at this and threw a side long glance at his master who gave a warm chuckle, "In time...Besides your only called forth to die anyway..." Izaya smiled brighter at this and appreciated the motivation. Izaya waited as the clones formed fully and watched them as they stood firm without blowing up. Then he watched as he ordered mentally for one of them to run to the far side of the room. Nothing happened here and so Izaya looked to the other clone and nodded at him giving the mental order for him to seek out the far off clone. With a hesitant glance at his master, Izaya raised his hands as if to form some seal but seemed unsure. Master Waso showed Izaya the seal quickly and the genin followed in suit. His hands slammed together and he used a small amount of chakra to release the directive. The clone that was seeking the other blew up...however too short of making it to the second.

Izaya had spent the rest of the day training and trying to get things right but he seemed unable to accomplish such things in the one day alone. He had to go back home to start the training once again the next day. Upon coming back to the hangar the following morning he immediately began practicing his hand seals once again. His hands flew through the repetitive seals over and over at least about 60 times, spending a full hour practicing them over and over before he could successfully do them correctly. Izaya quit practicing the same seals and got down to business. He summoned the clones all in all using the volatile seals that would actually summon them with the ability to explode. Izaya rubbed his hands once they all formed in a group of eight. Izaya looked at them all and then ordered them all to attack each other and fight as if they where trying to really best each other.

It seemed to Izaya that none of the clones could truly best each other and that they where all equivalent in power. However, as Izaya retreated from them and went to the far wall at the other end of the room. Izaya then watched the clones and selected one and mentally made him rush his opponent. the clone blew up upon Izaya's command through a kai seal. He eye'd another and made him do the same. The clone ran at it's opponent leaped onto it's body and blew up right in it's face. Izaya then made the third target do so to his enemy, but the clone managed to avoid the explosion just barely leaving it still intact. Izaya mentally took control of one of the three remaining clones now and made him circle around the two others. The clones paired up and followed the third and when they got close enough the third stopped dead in it's tracks and turned to face it's own brethren.

The two clones sprung into the air and when they came down they suddenly exploded, blowing up into bits and pieces of rubble as the third clone erupted setting them all off. Izaya smiled at this and walked back into the center of the big room. He looked around at the surrounding mess, and felt satisfied. "Hmm...you know what...I think this will do...I believe I can successfully make clones that will also have the ability to detonate on my foes shall i need to dispose of them in a quick manner...This can also be used as a manner to keep an opponent at range should he become aware of my clones ability to explode..." Izaya pondered out loud. And that's when master Waso came into the hangar a bit late. He looked over at Izaya and gave a curt nod, "So have you finally mastered the exploding clone technique?"

"Of course master...I have yet to fail you or your expectations..."

...

Suddenly just for thehell of it, Izaya ran his hands through some handseals and formed the mud clones all over again. They rose from the dirt and once they did IZaya clasped his hands together and yelled, "Kai" Causing all o the clones to explode heavily in one big bang. This was don so that his master could see Izayas finished talent!

Izaya stood in the room on another day of practice. His hands where just going over the earth seals he had learned lately, commiting them better to memory. Master Waso was busy actually meditating with Ibizu at the moment, the both of them absorbed in their own practices. Izaya was in the middle of wondering something as well...he wondered what would happen if he tried to combine both his sound release with the earth element. He thought abouot the handseals he knew and which ones he might combine to make a jutsu of experimentation with. "Hmm...well, I know the seals for defelcting projectiles, and I also know how to make the earth tremor as well. But what if I could actually direct the sound waves through the earth?"

he looked at the ground and then back to his hands. He flipped them slightly through a few Doton seals, and then paused to think. After giving it some thought, he performed some sound seals he thought might get the trick done correctly. However he was not entirely sure he could create this jutsu with just the top of his imagination. He knelt down carefully and placed his hands to the ground, and thought about how he would release it. It occured to him that perhaps if he released the chakra from the tips of his fingers upon laying them on the ground then it might move in a direct path like he wanted. "Ok then...I'll try it" Izaya said to himself as he flipped through the handseals in the combination he came up with. He gathered the chakra through the seals and laid a hand to the ground and directed it to his fingertips which pointed ahead.

Upon releasing the chakra the energy rippled across the floor with a sudden sonic wave. Izaya looked at the wave as it traveled across the ground and noticed that as it passed over the ground, small cracks had formed from the sonic vibrations. They where minute and not effective enough to pose any purpose in battle but Izaya felt like he could do better. He saw the way that hand seals could be used to create a jutsu, and it was actually like mathematics and physics. IZaya rubbed at his chin and then summoned some more chakra to his innercoil. He tried to put together a few other seals and then increased the pressure of the chakra output and placed a hand to the ground. Upon releasing the chakra he watched the sound wave travel outwards and this time the ground rumbled slightly while making bigger cracks along the ground, sending a few pebbles and such bursting upwards into the air.

With a careful glance over to his master and mentor, Izaya noticed that they where still steady in their meditations. Izaya ran his hands through the handseals again and did some deep thinking about how he performed them, and the control of chakra. He made some adjustments by taking some seals out and applying a few other's. He figured he should have it right now.

Izaya held his hands together and performed the hand seals once again. The hand seals of the new jutsu he was creating where of a strange design. Izaya could tell that these where not meant to be put together like this but whatever he figured. The genin switched through the signs and slammed his hand to the ground. Out went a ripple of sound energy in a straight line that caused the ground to shake and tremble, causing cracks and fissures to form which where actually bigger and usable in combat. However, Izaya wasn't quite satisfied with this result. He wanted the big presentation, that satisfying result that made him know he had added a new jutsu to his complete repetoire.

He was just now beginning to grow stronger then a competent level of fighting amongst his peers. Izaya was now developing the ability to fight amongst a multitude of enemies that might range in skill. His talents where not one way anymore and where diverse. And so it was imperative for him to have a jutsu's full effect under his control. He performed the hand seals again and slammed the ground again. The sound wave traveled over the ground, and the cracks widened where he had just performed the jutsu. More dust shot up from the cracks and Izaya could see this tripping someone up and causing them to fall should they be running at him or such trying to get in close to perform some taijutsu maneuver.

Standing up, Izaya rubbed his palms together and tried again. He made the hand seals and then dropped down fast, slamming his hand to the ground hard, and releasing the chakra through his fingertips. It went outwards through the ground in a huge wave, telling Izaya that he actually needed to hit the ground hard to help produce the earth reactions he wanted. Izaya found that this time the cracks broke in a spidering design which caused pieces and solid rocks to turn up and form a trench of broken rubble. Izaya rose up and turned to the side some to fresh ground so that he could try again from scratch. His hands flew through the hand seals and then he slammed his palms to the ground an let the chakra flow through the ground. He watched the sound wave travel across the ground and then he watched as the ground seemed to fissure and split into plates while the chunks of plated earth rose and fell simultaneously showing some improvement in his ability to perform this jutsu.

Izaya stopped for a moment and wondered how he might make the plates bigger. And he then figured that he might do this by simplifying some of the earth seals and increasing the use of sound seals. All he needed was to anchor the sound waves over along the earth and the sound waves broke the earth themselves. He also needed to use more low pitch wound waves to tear deeper portions of earth apart.

Izaya figured he'd put the finishing touches to this technique right quick and show his master. In fact, what better way to show his master then to definetly disturb his meditations by sending the jutsu over his way. Izaya turned himself towards where his master was sitting and began to perform his hand seals. As he flipped through the seals he summoned the chakra to his arm, and then knelt down and slammed his palm to the ground sending the chakra all the way over to the two master's.

The sound wave rippled over the earth in a loud deep boom which sounded like a gong being struck and then the earth seemed to drop, tear and shift as it turned and flipped and ground into a deep trench. Master Waso suddenly opened his eye's and bounded up into the air while Ibizu snapped out of his meditation and rolled backwards and then sprung from his hands and back into the air and a few yards away. They both landed and held calm look's on their faces as they looked at Izaya. Izaya made a nervous face and shrugged trying to smile and pass it off, "Heheh...just having a little fun you know..." Master Waso spoke in a stern and sharp tone, "You want to have fun go play at the beach...you want to become a true ninja, then have respect for your training and master's in this hangar..."

Izaya awoke the next morning and headed out to the hangar as usual. It had appeared that Master Waso was already int he hangar this morning. He had a mat set out with three ink bottle and a small razor blade set on it. Izaya went to the mat and watched as Master Waso began instructing by taking the knife in one hand while instructing. "I am going to show you a very rare and special technique today...this technique is actually a forbidden Fuuinjutsu, and most fuuin techniques are forbidden because they contain extreme power and taboo abilities in them...the effects often last longer then most regular ninjutsu and can have irreversible properties as well..." Master Waso explained while summoning chakra to his hand. Once done master Waso then took the blade and softly caressed his hand which was now aflame with blue chakra. The blade drew blood, which seemed to take onto the flowing chakra.

Waso grabbed a bottle and squeezed his hand letting the blood mix with the ink inside. Upon doing so Izaya took a seat himself. He began to also charge the chakra inside his body to his hand. Izaya's hand began to glow after a long while as he figured out he was to charge his palm as he charged chakra to his innercoil. Once done Izaya looked up to see master Waso hand him a knife. Izaya grabbed the knife in hand and noticed Master Waso had cleaned it. Izaya saw his face illuminated in the reflection of his own burnng chakra, and then he watched as his brow furrowed. The genin held the blade across his palm and dragged it softly across his palm. the blade drew out blood with it, and then Izaya traded the knife for a bottle of ink.

Once he grabbed the ink he squeezed his bleeding palm and held it over the bottle, squeezing a spout of blood into the battle to mix with the ink. The blood seemed to burn with blue chakra as he poured, and once it had fully filled the bottle the opening seemed to burn like a match of blue flame as Izaya set it down on the mat. Izaya then watched his master for further instruction as to what to do next. He had never performed a jutsu like this, and as he watched his master move on to the next step Izaya could feel himself on the verge of mystic mesmerization. He felt like he was learning some secret S rank technique known only to master's of jutsu. In truth however it was only the preperation of the technique that was so impressive. The actual application itself was a hard thing to accomplish in combat.

Mekuraban Seal Drawing/Placement
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu/TaiJutsu
Effect: The before the user can write the Mekuraban seal on a person or anything, they must first learn the special way how to draw the seals.
Special: Requires Ink and some sort of painting or marking tool just to learn. When used in battle this technique requires a mixture of blood and ink.
Drawback: None
Description: Before the user can use the Mekuraban seals, they must first master the correct way of drawing the seals. This technique is rather easy to learn, as the proper way of drawing a Mekuraban seal is only slightly different than regular kanji drawing. The user must draw the kanji so that the ink stays wet for the most amount of time possible, and runs so that the kanji drawing won’t lose its power.
Limit: After learning this technique, the user will not have to learn it again to utilize any other Mekuraban Seal.

Izaya now watched his master raise his own glowing hand and he waved it over his ink bottle, causing all of the blue flame to de-ignite. Izaya watched onwards as his master grabbed his own ink bottle and dipped his index finger into the ink. He swirled his index and middle finger in it and then brought the finger out with a bunch of thick black ink on it. He carefully drew an uneven line on the mat in front of him pretty swiftly, twisting his fingers twice to create a zig zag pattern. Izaya waved his hand as well to get rid of the blue flames that covered them, and then he dipped his two finger's into the ink bottle he had saturated with his chakra. From here Izaya copied his master and took his two fingers from the bottle and placed them down onto the white mat and traced the same circular design, trying to cross his fingers in the process.

Master Waso observed this feat and then yanked the white mat away and got another one from a chair near by. He set it down and spoke, "Try again, faster and more sure of yourself this time...you see, the ink needs to still be wet before the seal activates...this way the entire seal will come to life in one moment...You happened to leave some of the ink wet and dry by the time you finished...so be more deliberate...In combat you will need to be even more proficient in drawing this seal, the enemy will not wait for you..." Master Waso instructed in a low calm voice. Izaya nodded and tried again. He placed his index and middle finger into the ink bottle and then placed that onto the white matt. He slid the fingers around quickly this time trying to be more quick while maintaining a clear design. He held his breath as he did so and when he finished making the design Izaya raised his fingers abruptly, finishing and inspecting his own work. his eye's shifted back and forth over the seal and found it was all wet still.

Once done Izaya looked up at master Waso who was still inspecting the seal for integrity. The ink slowly dried over the course of the next five seconds. Once done Master Waso would nod and then yank away the sheet again, discarding it to a corner of the room with the other previous mat. Good job, but you need to now make a more perfect sign. The same rate of speed, but be more talented in your art work...an imperfect seal can mean an imperfect jutsu...which in Fuuijutsu can mean horrible backfiring..."

Izaya sat calmly waiting for the next and finally most important instructions for the entire jutsu. Master Waso looked to Izaya and sighed deeply, "Now for the handseals" he said and then cracked a smile, knowing that Izaya was probably wanting to get to this part most of all. The master held his hands up and slapped them into the focus seal. Izaya Watched carefully as master Waso slowly went through the set of hand seals that where needed. Izaya almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what happened. The seal's where only three of them in all! His mouth opened and a frown appeared on his face. Master Waso cocked and eyebrow, "Is something wrong?" Izaya threw his hands in the air, "All this secret show and tell for this!? Three easy handseals to put this jutsu to work? What the hell is this?" Izaya said in frustration.

Master Waso raised a hand to tell Izaya to lower his voice. Izaya slapped the front of his face and then ran his hand down the front dragging his features. Master Waso folded his arms and then spoke sternly, " You will perform the seals with respect for the jutsu...this is a technique not everyone has and you must learn to be multi-dimensional in your talents!" Izaya nodded and then held his hands up and performed the handseals quickly, being familiar with them from other jutsu actually. He performed them three more times in true lethargic expression to show he could succesfully perform them evenly. Master Waso nodded and then told Izaya to activate his chakra while doing them next time. The old man raised his own sleeve and then held his hand out for Izaya. The genin looked at it and then to his master. "This will be one of the only free times you will ever be able to practice a jutsu on me without having to fight for it..."

Izaya nodded at this and then took his right hand. He dipped it into the bottle of ink and grabbed his master arm firmly, and traced the seal around it quickly. Upon doing so Izaya let go of his master's arm and then performed the hand seals in timely order. The seals came together in a quick chain of seals and then Izaya activated the chakra stored in his innercoil. As it burned alive in his abdomen, so did the seal he formed on master Waso's arm he noticed. Izaya watched as suddenly the arm just...dropped!. It hit the floor with a loud thud. Izaya just stared at the glowing black seal, which radiated with a purplish aura of sealed power. "How long will this last? What is this...?" Izaya asked in fascination. Master Waso spoke in reply, "It is the Mekuraban seal...a seal long taught to the rarest of ninja in order to contain threats in a reliable manner. this jutsu has been used to hold down even the most fiercsome of opponents, and it is a jutsu that you cannot break easily. but it does where off after a little time so when used you must either constantly refresh the seal or use it and get done what you mean to do...This will be valuable knowledge for apprehending someone or preventing them from acting when you need them not to...I even had to use this on Ibizu once...not even he knows how to perform this technique...tell no one of this lesson, and use this technique sparingly in your lifetime..."
