In Search of a Teacher (Prvate)

[Nyu]

The Achilles was flying through the air. His previous battle still going hrough his mind. He had not been fighting like he would have liked to. He was saddened by this, because he had been training to be better than he was. He landed near a small river in the barren desert. He dunked his head in the water to cool off. He stood up and looked around. Few desert trees were around and a small bird was on one of their branches. He strenched and then sat down on a rock. He wanted to think through what just happened.

[fang123]

The shinobi seemed to be down in the dumps as he sat in the middle of the dessert seeming to be awfully lonely at the time. What a sad sad case. Maybe he was tired of the travel, who knew but he seemed awfully not like himself. Though it was not smart to be sitting in the middle of the dessert. Underneath the sands of time laid dormant beasts of undefined nature and abominations to the gods. Some would say that they were even hungry. Hungry for blood. Hungry for anything they could find.....

One of them had been strolling by through the underground tunnels when it suddenly smelled the stench of fresh prey. Prey that had ben overworked and the blood pulsated through its veins. Prey that seemed almost too tempting. As it swerved through and through the dessert sands. Suddenly it would pop out of the sand 30 meters infront of the shinobi resting on the rock. It hissed and it screamed as it stood high about 8 meters into the air. The snake looked hungry and stared at the man. Hopefully he would get his fill for the day.

[Nyu]

The shinobi was no mere Shinobi, he was the Achilles of the Hidden Mist. He stared at the snake as it would rise from the snad, his eyes were iced blue with anger. Hand seals would go into action. Water vapor would form and freeze in the blink of an eye, the snake was in his water and ice creation web you see. The hunter had become the prey. The ice was extremely hard due to his level of skill at crafting the substance. He had rested from the combat and he smiled, this was nothing more than an exercise to him. He posed with more hand seals preparing another jutsu just incase it was needed, he had stood, the snake was frozen above ground now. It would go into a dormant hybernation state, being cold blooded. However, it had no air source so would die in it's sleep.

[OOC: Post the whole technique if it's obscure, I have no idea what these techs are, and you have a fuck ton of jutsu to search through]

This shinobi was as blind and stupid as it was delicious. Thinking that a snake the size of this gargantuan beast, in such a hot climate, would be subdued by such a weak technique? It was a good attempt, but this snake was swift, and as he spent his time [4.5 Movements / 2.7 seconds] wending his hand seals for his second attempt to subdue the beast, the python would be swiftly upon him, its flexible, lithe body swimming through the sand with speed and grace. All twenty meters of this snake was powered by hunger and years of hunting, this meal was no different from any other, aside from its ability to make things a little chilly. As the male would be still performing the seals, the snake would strike with violent efficiency, and considering its size, it would be more than capable of completely engulfing the male.

Quick Strike
Rank: "C" [30TP]
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: If struck, the victim will be injected with the venom and suffer its effects.
Special: Lunging forth the snake will strike at an opponent, aiming to use its fangs.
Drawback: Although it is performed very quickly, during the moment of the strike the snake is vulnerable as it extends forth to attack.
Description: Lunging forth with incredible speed, the snake will attempt to sink its fangs into an enemy, injecting them with venom. Snakes can strike for up to one-half of their total body length.
Limit: Any snake or similar animal.

[Nyu]

(OCC: I don't see how it covered 30 meters in 2.7 seconds and the fact my first jutsu has range of ice creation at 30 meters but ok.)

The Achilles was tired of this and he would after image back five meters. The snake would come at him and while it was now fifteen meters out he would draw his sword in a flash. He would send compressed blast of air out in a crestent moon shape, that was strong enough to kill the snake. This attack was two meters in diameter. The snake being so close to him and in the process of a strike would not be able to dodge his attack. It had already commited to it's own death. His skill with a sword and in the three sword style was strong enough to let him know this. The attack was faster than most of his attacks and at this distance no escape.

[OOC: Firstly, don't bitch, the more you complain, the harder I make it. Secondly, all creatures are taijutsu masters, given the size of snake Ioshi set parameters for, this is a B-rank taijutsu master, 30m for a professional sprinter at full stride would take around 3 seconds, so this is no large feat, the ice creation range doesn't matter if the technique is weak.]

Unfortunately for this male, he would believe that his speed would even come close to that of the snakes, especially when he would need to cancel the performance of his seals [thereby losing an A-rank of chakra] in order to counter it. Considering he had moved swiftly backwards before the snake struck, his feeble attempt at casting a sword strike would not work, and the blade of wind would cut harmlessly into the sand as the snakes lithe body twisted around and moved out of the way. How frustrating that this meal had decided to fight back, but it was effective enough that it paused the snake at about eleven meters away from him, its head wending from side to side, the tongue slipping in and out of its fanged mouth. Although it preferred not to do it, the slight hissing would alert its family, if it meant acquiring a meal, then it would share some of the spoils.

[Nyu]

Alexander would now perform more handseal and summon mre ice surrounding him and encasing the snake in the frozen substance. Thirty Meters would be covered including that under the snake. The snake itself was now in a prison of the ice, which was strong enough that it could not be broken. Alexander was a Kaishin and thus all things belong to him was reduced in chakra cost. More hand seals would be performed and more layers of ice would cover the snake, thus increasing it's prison in thickness. Alexander performed the hand seals to summon his wings, he would take flight before things got more out of control in this wild land.

We're in the middle of the desert, normally considered an extremely hot area, which kind of cancels this technique, but hey, since you're using it, let's take away an A-rank amount of chakra and there's no reduction of the Haku BL considered here.

Two redundant techniques here, but since you're so proud of them, we'll sacrifice both ranks worth of water for them, since Oxyhydro takes chakra equivalent to the rank used of technique, which is apparently S-rank thanks to water creation, that's two S-ranks, oh wait, three S-ranks cause of the ice creation technique. We're now up to 3 S-ranks + B-rank, but oh wait, you want your 25% discount don't you. So we have, in total, at this point, 2 A-ranks, + 2 B-ranks, which is an A+S amount. While we're at it, let's toss the other two C-ranks in for fun, and make it S+A+B amount of chakra drain, on top of all the other techniques before hand, we're going to have fun with this and say, oops, chakra exhaustion.

Now for the fun bit.

Unfortunately for the snake, it got frozen, but more so for the male, he would be on his knees, absolutely drained of chakra, unable to do any more of his fanciful techniques. Surprise. What had been an enjoyable battle had come to a boring end, and now left the male open to the elements, unable to protect himself from the stark, incredible heat of the desert. Even if he wished to, he could not summon the slightest bit of water from the harsh desert air, and he would be unable to quench the thirst that gripped him. Even as the ice would melt, it would evaporate, leaving him unable to drink deep and satisfy his thirst.

Alone, he would be forced to wander the desert, looking for something to drink.

[25% chance to find an oasis in the middle of the desert, if the posts are less than 2000 characters, no roll will be done. This could be so much easier for the both of us if you stop complaining at me.]

[Nyu]

The Achilles would stand around the area for a mere moment. He looked around it was nothing more than the sand in the desert. He knew that he would die if he did not drink in the deep water of life. He was tired the giant snake had done only one thing and one thing only. Annoyed him and made him extremely thirsty and even though he had used his own jutsus that was in his own bloodline, the Ancient and Powerful Deity of Fate that had long been forgotten by man, drained him of his chakra. True enough that this was going to be hard on him, but he would not subbcome to her. Alexander walked a little more, the heat upon him from the sun and the hot air that was in teh desert caused him a slight bit of pain. The Achilles was use to one place and one place only, the Misty valley in which he had lived. Nyustukyi would be ashamed of him for being so weak as to be faulted by such a cobra. Nyustukyi would have destroyed him for being so stupid. Alexander looked around and knew that this was going to be a very painful thing. He took a few more steps and then he started to feel a little bit mroe light headed. This was going to be a long treck should he have to actually go looking for more water. The Achilles then looked at the sands, they looked like waves, upon waves of water. Alexander remembered water and how he longed for it, oh how he longed for it.

Alexander then walked a few more feet, the snake was dead by now, no oxygen to it's bloodstream. Alexander began to wander a little more past the giant reptile. The ice had melted and the creature was dead. Alexander used one of his swords to cut into the body but it would not work. The blood was tainted by poison and he knew that he could not progress any further with the blood if he drank it. The poison that would go through his veins would cause him pain and trouble and possible death. Alexander smiled, his lips now tried and thirsty he for more water. He moved a bit further and soon he had a flashback of his training. When he had trained for his sword style, the one of the killing blade. He had done it at the water's edge. a lake in the tea country where he had been training. He remembered it like it was yesterday and began to recalled the events and the training he had undergone. He began to look around and he smiled at the area. He remembered it perfectly and he expected the waves of cool air to hit over him any moment now. However, that was not to happen, not in this place of sand and evil hot air. Alexander remembered more of the cool air and how his training had went.

Alexander was now swimming back to the shore, his mental training had been something new to him. He was now going to have to train his body in some way to make it stronger and more preapred for this new sword style. He already had the feeling that it maybe a strain on his body and on the strength of his mucsles may go under. The Achilles pulled himself out of the water and then began to look over the area. He figured that one thing that may help him is intense physical training. He began to breath through his mouth and out through his nose, conidtioning his lungs and pumping blood through his body. Air going into his blood meant that his body was ready for combat at the drop of a hat. He then looked at trees and figured out a great idea. He walked over to them with his sword and unsheathed his sword in a fast motion and sent a compressed strike of air through the air. The compressed air was hard enough to cut through the trees like nothing. Numerous trees began to fall down upon one another, his attacks were stronger than normal. He moved over to the trees that had fell down and began to push them in to place. He wanted them to be in a place where he could push them up and down.

Alexander moved them first into a line and he smiled and then he got up near him and then picked one up. He lifted with his legs instead of his knees and he began to increase them amount of chakra he sent into his body. He was hoping that this would increase the amount of support that his mucsles were receviving and he looked around. He began to increase the amount of strength going in and out of his muscles. He threw the tree into another place on top of two more trees. This was his way of strength training and he knew how to train like this. This had been something that Nyustukyi had shown him when teaching him a few other styles with the sword. He began to move towards the other trees and bit over before them once again. He lifted once agian with his legs and increase the amount of strength going into his body and out from. He then looked over the area as his lifted the other log up into his hands. He was merely looking in the direction he needed to drop the heavy burden that was his log. He did so by dropping it down on the other logs, the pile was beginning to form. Alexander was now standing there before there hands empty. He was breathing hard and he knew that he needed to increase the amount of logs he brought over. He had no choice but to do this. This was the only way of strengthening his body to withstand the sword style that he was going into.

The Achilles was now moving around trying to free up his muscles, he had always hated moving stuff around. Ever since he was a child, the strain that it put on his body was just annoying. He moved a few more trees, the logs bouncing on and off the each other and he smiled at that. He looked at the water and jumped in, he was going to go back and forth in this lake making his body stronger and increasing the strength of the body. If you can move your body better in resitance then you can move your body better out of resitance. Alexander then began to dive into the water and moved around. It was nice a cool still and his muscles relaxed, but not to much. He did not want that to happen, because if it did he would be in trouble. At least they would hurt way to much and he could not do much. He then began to move through the water taking breaths as he stroked through the water. It was the over heard stroke and he was making sure that his form was perfect. He began to perform laps, moving ro the rock and back to shore. It was hard to perform this since the pull of the waterfall was going against his motions and thus increasing the strain and pressure on his muscles.

The Achilles then began to increase the chakra sent into his muscles making sure that he was not loosing his life to training. That would not go well for him and he began to increase the amount of air into his lungs. If he did not do this he would not began to stay a float nor would he be able to keep his muscles supplied with oxygen. If he did not the increase the chakra flow or the oxygen flow into his muscles he would probably be killed by the waterfall's current. He then began to swim harder and faster making sure the current was not to much for him. He reached the shore and was able to move freely now upon the land. He pushed himself up on the land and stood there. It was very hard for him to move because he was so sore from the training he had performed. Alexander sat down on a near by stump, caused by his own sword slashing jutsu. Then the Achilles began to breath in and out his nose and mouth. He was doing nothing more but making sure he didn't pass out from anything including the pain is mucsle. As he watched the area Alexander breathed in through his mouth. He opended his eyes and then closed them again, he was making sure he had enough air.

He opened his eyes and he was now back from his flash back. He was now standing in the middle of the desert. He knew that nothing was here but pain and suffering. He looked at the snake again and remembered how the pain began. He remembered the snake was there and he had no choice but to face the reality that this was going on, that this was happening. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw Nyustukyi standing before him. He turned to see his old friend who had died, but he was not there. No what was there was the river that had been there the first time he arrived here. He had even put his head in the water and he knew that the water was pure. He walked over to it and dived in, he wanted to drink it all up, only he hoped he could.

Link -- Failure

The parched air would be unforgiving as the male swept through the sands. His luck was not as great as his skill, and there was no saving grace to be had amongst the dried earth, and dying trees. The clear skies, offering no shade from the sun, not even a cloud passing in front of the bright orb, heating the world below to such a degree, that not even the reptiles chose to leave their homes in the crags. The mirage before him would only torture his mind more as he sought refuge.

The heat tortured him and made him feel every so weak as he searched for the life giving substance that is, was, and always has been, water. He was drained he needed some water or he would dry up out here. He looked around and saw nothing in his way that would give him the relief he sought. He began to walk, the heat baring down upon him and he could do nothing more but take the refuge that was in his mind. He opened his eyes and saw the barren, isolated, and unforgiving desert. He looked around seeing no water and no respite in sight. He took a deep breath and sighed, then he closed his eyes once again and opened them again. Now he had been transported to a distant time and place. A place where he had just seen in his memory. This place had tons of water, in fact it had a waterfall and a lake at the bottom with a small river running off. He looked around the trees were still there and he smiled. He began around the area, this was the refuge of his mind. The place he had wanted to go because if he did not his mind would buckle under the intense pressure of the hot sky.

Alexander now looked over the area and walked up to it, he knew he needed to think through this. His mind began to show him everyone that meant the most to him. He was very strong willed when it comes to protecting everybody he always seemed to fail. That is why he had always pushed everybody back so far that he never got too close to everybody. The Achilles had only became cold hearted and distant from everybody because of this. He still had that desire to protect and make sure all that was close to him was safe and well. Alexander now saw in front of him the image of his dearest and closest friend. The man who had been the teacher of him in the Kaishin bloodlimit and the style of the Wakazashi Kagame. The man who had helped him become most of the man he was today. Alexander looked at his old teacher, he had been gone in training when he had went into the Chuunin Exams. There he had been killed by something, they said a misunderstanding, but the Achilles thought differently. Nyustukyi had been considered the "Wolf of the Hidden Mist Village."

Suddenly he saw a man coming at Nyustukyi with a sword and Alexander felt a surge of energy pull him up. Alexander charged the man, hoping through the water with his sword drawn. Nyustukyi had died once while Alexander had not been there to help him out. Alexander was here now, and Nyustukyi was not going to die a second time. He was there in time his sword blocking the other man's sword and it was shining with the light of diamonds. Alexander's eyes were now shining the ice blue that showed he was extremely ready to fight. He pushed the man's sword up and then slashed it, cutting the blade off it's hilt. Alexander stood there looking at the figure of the man, he was nothing more than a shadow but he disappeared. Thinking back on it Alexander had heard that Nyustukyi had been killed by a bunch of arrows to his body. The Achilles then saw a few archers moving forward towards him. He then began to perform hand seals, he had to, he would protect Nyustukyi once again. He focused himself and then saw one thousand needles would form directly above him.

The archers unleashed their arrows like vicious dogs being set forth from their leashes at a piece of meat. Alexander used his sword to block the incoming arrows with his emerald shield, another thankful jutsu used by the Wakazashi Kagame style. He looked at it and then he began to actually send them back in the direction of the archers. They moved of course but that was not something he cared about. He was already prepared for this next assault and he sent his own needles at them and around them. There was enough to do this and cover them so they couldn't block nor run away after him. Alexander watched as they were destroyed due to the shear volume of needles and the Achilles looked over everything. He watched them disappear and he moved over to Nyustukyi and looked him in the eye. All Alexander could say was sorry, sorry for not being there. He had beaten himself up because he was not able to protect him. Nyusutkyi smiled and disappeared and Alexander blinked and he was suddenly back where he had started, the desert.

He looked around, he had been walking while in his trace and now he saw, what he hoped was not another mirage, water. He walked over to the water and the lake and put himself down into it, up to his knees. He wanted water, he needed water, he must have water. He began to put his hands closer into the water and he hoped that someone would smiled upon him and he would actually have water for him.

Do-do-do-doooooooo~! You got a Jutsu

[Beautiful Rogue]

I have shit luck with rolls

Alas, the beauteous sight before his eyes would be nothing more than another figment of the desert, and the thirst grew larger and more pacifying, worsening through his training, almost unbearable. His through would be dry, and it would be a labour to breath, but onwards he was forced to go, even if death was waiting with open arms.

[Nyu]

The Achilles took a ghastly step back in disbelief of his luck that was raining down upon him. He knew not what he was going to do here in this situation. He was drained of chakra and unable to use any ability to create water. He wished now he had a containter that he kept on him, maybe that would help him. He looked around desperately looking for water, just a few gallons. He just needs something for his body to keep him alive and keep him regenerated. Without any of this he would die because of the heat, he hoped that he could make it. He remembered Nyustukyi and his training and how he had told him that he must always be ready for any and all situations. Nyustukyi had also told him, that no matter how hard he tried and planned that all of it would be for not sometimes. Alexander knew this to be true, and he could do nothing more but walk on. He looked around numerous times, it was either this or he would end up dead. He was not resigned to dying here in this barren wasteland, no not yet. Alexander smiled in the thought of trees and the nice cool air of his beloved Water Country. The never ending fields of mist the secrets that were hidden in them. He knew nothing but the secrets he had seen or put in them himself. If the mist was to ever clear up, there would probably be a lot of questions coming up for a lot of people in the Hidden Mist Village. Not to mention that the village would have to change their name to something else.

He tripped and fell down to the hot sand and felt it between his hands and he looked up. The beating sun on his back and down his neck. The heat was getting out of control and Alexander knew nothing more than to move. He remembered the Hidden Mist Village and he remembered that he was a shinobi of the Hidden Mist. He picked himself up from the burning sands and then began to move again. His body was walking on autopilot, his mind was in a secret place. It was a technique he had learned from other ninjas in preparation for other things. This was sometimes the best thing to perform if needed, otherwise he would just suffer mentally in this hell hole. Removing his mental part allowed one thing to happen, keep his mind whole. His feet picked up and his body moved, but his mind was at play in the memories of his past. Memories of running and training with numerous people and going on missions with other people. He remembered his meetings with the Kaishin Elders, who hated the fact that he was using the crystal release. He remembered fighting them and he rememebred it well enough he could actually feel their cold ice on his feet. He was shocked back to reality, could this be? Could he actually be in water?

[Beautiful Rogue]

This is actually embarrassing now

The male would remain alone with his memories, lost in the desert, travelling in a direction with only the gods knowing his foreseeable future. Luck was against him, as was time. Though his training made his body stronger, it also quickened his demise, drawing him ever so close to the brink of death.

[Nyu]

Alexander would be devastated by the turn of events. He was upset by the empty sand and no water around him. He would not give up and he would find himself thinking about other things. He needed to retreat into his mind once again, preparing himself once again. He breathed in the hot desert air, but he knew other ways to keep himself from being dried out fast. He quickly pulled off a button off his pants, not to big, but it is plastic. He put the button in his mouth and began to just keep it there on his tounge. This was there for one reason and one reason only. This would keep his salava in his mouth, nothing more than a stall tactic however. A bandaid on a gushing wound, so to speak. He then took a not so deep breath trying to keep himself from drying out more. He walked on through the barren desert and the dangerous area. He moved on, his feet dragging through the endless sands. What would Nyustukyi and the other Kaishin say? Alexander was a deadly member of their clan and not some push over that gets beaten by some heat. Even if the heat was that of a barren freaking desert. This place that had been here only because he wanted to protect the Mizukage. How his search to become stronger, to find a teacher, had led him to this place. Where he had faced a giant snake, but in teh process used up most of his chakra in the fight. He was a Kaishin, and how ironic that he was now in need of the one thing Kaishin found the most strength in, water.

The Achilles moved on and took a breath again and then exhaled once again. He walked onwards remembering the past, escaping from the area and retreating into another. His Mindscape, a place he had forged through years of intense training. He retreated now to the lush and virberate place, where he was safe from the heat of teh desert and the harsh reality of the sands. He now looked around, his body was standing before the waterfall and a small building behind him. He had managed to train his mind in the refuge of this place, in this mental wall like state. He looked around and there behind the hut was a wall, the wall that separated this from his real body. He saw the gate that was the exit, should he choose to go that way. The sky here was clear with few clouds, but the sun was not as baring as the one in the desert was. This was his peaceful place, a place were he did not need to fear. He looked at the water fall and the tranquil stream flowing and he walked over to it, he bent down and took a sip of the water, even though he was basically imagining the cool satisfaction of the water, he smiled. He wished he could actually be drinking in the water in the real world. He looked around the mindscape and walked forward towards teh gate. He would not give up, that was not in his nature. He walked through the gate and it brought him back to his real body. He had the sudden feeling of something cool around his ankles, could this be it? Could he have finally found water to quench his thirst?

[Beautiful Rogue]

[No more die rawlin]

The sand would greet him, forever onward in all directions. There was no escaping the harsh realities of the desert, even one such as he was incapable of finding a way out. As the male would begin to succumb to heat exhaustion, a shadow grew on the horizon, a tall man travelling through the heat with a smile on his lined face. Gray hair framed his aged visage, not too long, but pointed at the back. Adorned in a thick travelling cloak, and a large gourd on his back, with a sword tucked into his sash around his waist. As he walked, he noted the weakened form of the male, and his body movements changed from relaxed to concerned, as he quickly moved forward, pulling a large flask of water from the depths of his travel cloak. Tending to the male, the older gentleman wondered what such a person would be doing out in the desert with no preparation.

"Son, are you alright? Drink slowly now"

[Nyu]

Alexander was so releaved that someone was here. His thoart parched all he could say is only a few words. "Attacked. No water." he would manage to say. His thoart and limps were bone dry. The heat had bared down upon him and the sand was completely annoying by this point. His feet and body were exhausted, it took all he was to stand up. He looked at the man, he hoped he would let him drink of the flask that had water. The man held a sword, if he attacked him he would not be able to fight him. It honestly didn't matter at this point. If the man chose to fight him, he wouldn't be able to fight back. If he did not give him water, Alexander would surely die.

[Beautiful Rogue]

Once drained, the flask would refill itself as the male cast some single handed seals. The boy could drink as much as he chose, until he felt better. He would say nothing, but drinking quickly when once was so parched would probably make you throw up, but the boy had been through a rather harrowing experience, he could throw up, and there would always be more water. Once the young lad had filled himself with the moisture of life, the man would stand to his full height and let out a haughty laugh, what a strange day it had been for him. He had come out searching for rare animals, and he had come across a child. Not quite what he had been looking for, but amusing nonetheless. Reaching into his thick cloak once more, he pulled out a sack of fruit, containing many kinds of fruits, apples, oranges, even succulent berries that were harvested from the sunagakure plants. The berries were sweet, but they certainly made the finest wines in the land, which always brought him back to the country.

"M'boy, what brings you all the way out 'n the desert?"

If the male had not taken notice of it before due to his fatigue and parched throat, he would surely hear the thick [scottish] foreign accent that he spoke with. His voice was hearty, and he spoke with the sound of a man larger than life, well travelled and could make his bed under the stars anywhere in the world.
