Katsu sprinted from the white dome in Minarai, snatching his Hoverboard from its buried hiding place just near the entrance and firing up the engines in a single moment, zooming off and out of the empty city. If he was going to train he wanted to do it far away from the empty city. Creeped him out! As Katsu sped across the terrain and out of the city towards a forest he began to think of exactly what kind of jutsu he should be training. There had always been a certain kind of Ninjutsu that had interested Katsu and that was the Earth Release. It had rock hard defenses and heavy offense that would certainly help Katsu fill up some of the gaps in his short-range defense and offense. Smiling to himself Katsu soon reached the arctic forest near the city, hopping off of his hoverboard and settling it next to a tree so that he knew where it was.

The first step for Katsu to complete was to learn how to form Doton chakra. Unfortunately he didn't really understand how to do that. He'd never even seen much Doton jutsu in action, let alone being told how most people formed the chakra required by them. Leaning against the tree Katsu held his hands up in front of him, trying to imagine what Doton chakra looked like. Katsu, who already had a certain level of knowledge about elemental releases, knew that in order to start forming elemental chakra you had to imagine the chakra. For Raiton chakra, for instance, Katsu imagined a great orb with a line of chakra spinning around the orb at intense speeds, blasting everything out of its path.

Concentrating Katsu tried to imagine what Earth chakra might look like. He imagined a stone in a pond, as that was the favorite representation of Earth right? Still, ever enduring stone. At least it was somewhere to start. With that Katsu changed the image in his head, making the stone motes of chakra, tightly bound together and completely immobile. Completely inert the motes of chakra weathered everything that was thrown at them, taking everything without any weakness. But Katsu could feel in his mind that this somehow wasn't right. He couldn't feel the surge of chakra that he felt when he created other types of elemental chakra. However just to be sure that this wasn't just his imagination Katsu kept up the image he had in his head, trying to sense for even the tiniest surge of power from within himself.

Finally Katsu had to admit defeat and to come around his goal from a different angle. The image in his head faded from sight as he tried to think of what he was going to try next. Yet as the minutes ticked by nothing came to mind, only for a fully fleshed image to suddenly pop into his head unbidden. The chakra stone he had formed appeared once more, but this time there was movement. Lots of it. The stone appeared to be trying to rush itself! The motes of chakra kept fighting to reach the center of the stone, crushing each other tighter and tighter together. That was not even all of it, for thousands upon thousands of motes of chakra continued to appear and rush towards the stone, becoming part of the stone and increasing its mass but never taking up more space as the motes continued to crush themselves into an ever more dense chunk of chakra.

The surge! Katsu felt the surge of chakra well up from within him, the uncontrolled burst of energy discharges from his body wildly, sinking into the earth. The earth heaved beneath Katsu, and he felt himself thrust up and away, landing on his rear as he saw the new stone his chakra had forced up through the earth. Dusting himself off Katsu gave a little whoop of victory as he stood. However he knew performing a feat once was an accident, and he had to recreate the effect before he could move on. Calming himself down with deep breathing techniques Katsu closed his eyes and began to imagine the stone crushing itself under its own power, realizing that just like the other elements Earth had a flow. It was slower, and more controlled than that of air or lightning, and far more rigid than that of water, but a flow it still had. The surge of chakra built within Katsu's chest once more, and this time Katsu deliberately tried to channel it outward and forward, trying to see if he could further raise the stone in front of him.

This time however the surge did something completely different. The stone did not raise further from broke free from the earth holding it and flung itself high into the air. Yet this was good in a way. Katsu was manipulating stone and earth! He had succeeded, he had learned how to form Doton chakra.

Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Must be learned more and more in order to be capable of performing better, and capable of producing more Rock like formations for other types of techniques. Cannot be used on Sand
Description: What occurs is that the user takes the time to push down into the ground their own chakra. As the user does this the user takes the earth like materials found within the ground which is the components of soil as they begin to formulate and harden them all around in order to create harden rock like materials. The user may slam their hands against the ground in order to use this technique or just by pushing their chakra down to the ground. A user can gain the capability of grabbing onto the very ground and molding a piece of earth into a hardened like rock. The more the user learns and the higher the Difficulty class the user becomes the more they are capable of mastering this type of technique. When first learned the user is only capable of formulating rock into the size of their hand. When the user learns the "C" Rank, version this type increases to five meters in radius. Each time learned after that, the distance increases by ten feet giving a total distance of thirty-five meters in a radius distance. For each Difficulty class the User is the larger number this distance becomes. Each Difficulty class after C The distance increases by Ten meters. This means that if a user becomes S Rank in Difficulty Class and learns the S Rank Version of this technique the user is capable of formulating Rock within a Seventy-Five meters Radius.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release

Grinning to himself Katsu gave a little dance for joy that he had managed to form Doton chakra so quickly. Yet there was so much more that Katsu was going to need to train in order to say that he had a grasp of Doton jutsu. The first thing that Katsu felt that he should work on was to be able to actually create rocks to work with. If you didn't have strong rocks to manipulate then you didn't have much of anything. Luckily Katsu had managed to learn some things about the Earth Release, even if that hadn't included how to form Doton chakra until today. He knew the handseals for the Rock creation jutsu.

Once again Katsu had to clear his mind as he tried to conjure up the handseals that he had learned a while ago. Slowly they began to trickle into his conscious mind, and Katsu began to slowly form them with his hands. A few times he had to stop and start over because he got the sequence mixed up and performed the wrong handseals at the wrong time. A dozen seconds or so though and Katsu had the basic sequence done. Opening his eyes Katsu ran through the handseals over and over, looking at them carefully as he formed them. He was working the sequence and speed into his muscle memory so that he would be able to perform the handseals at a moment's notice and be able to summon up the jutsu just as quickly.

When Katsu felt that he had the handseals well enough mastered he moved on to the point where he had to begin learning how to channel his Doton chakra into the technique. Katsu knew already that this was going to be a difficult task for him to complete so quickly but Katsu knew that he didn't have very much time to complete this. Just a day before he had to go walking through the door set aside for him and face the Chuunin Exam. Katsu emptied his mind and formed the Doton chakra like he had just learned to do, slowly letting the surge of energy build up within him. With that done Katsu kicked his legs through the snow around him, clearing a space so that he could see the dirt below him. The rock he had made before stuck up through the soil, but much of it was still just loose dirt frozen by the cold weather. Perfect.

With the chakra welling up inside him, a proper target for the jutsu found, and the handseals memorized Katsu began to form those handseals. He paid special attention as he felt the chakra within him twist and change itself according to what the handseals were telling it to do. It folded in upon itself and condensed itself, and Katsu hoped that it was ready. He knelt down and slammed his palms into the dirt, channeling the chakra that he had formed down his arms and into the dirt, willing the technique to work. Katsu felt his chakra leech into the earth like water and realized that he could still feel his chakra once it was outside his body. In fact he could feel the very earth below him! Amazed and confused Katsu tried to crush his chakra like the stone he had imagined in his mind, honestly surprised that the earth did as he commanded, the soil crushing itself together, the minerals unraveling their form just long enough to form together into small pebbles.

Yet Katsu knew that he had failed somehow. He was supposed to make all that soil into a single chunk of rock, not turn it into pebbles like that. Sighing to himself he began to mold Doton chakra and form the handseals for the technique once more, pushing his chakra deep into the earth once more, trying to force the earth to coalesce into a single rock Yet again it failed, the pebbles only growing a little larger. Thinking to himself Katsu began to wonder what he was doing wrong. Was he not using enough chakra? No. Katsu had read the scroll for this jutsu, it required very little chakra at lower levels. Then perhaps he was trying to spread the chakra out too far? That seemed more likely.

For the third time Katsu formed the handseals for the technique as he formed Doton chakra within his body, pushing it into the earth, but concentrating the chakra into a smaller space just below his hand. Crushing the chakra in his mind Katsu felt the earth respond, and much more effectively than before. Rather than forming into just pebbles, a rock the size of Katsu's head formed from the loose dirt, pulling free of the earth easily. Blinking a bit Katsu looked at the rock a little disappointed. It was certain that he was going to have to keep going to make this jutsu worth while in combat. Throwing the rock over his shoulder Katsu began to think of how he was to refine his technique.

Limit: Needs the Earth Release

There was nothing else for Katsu to do but to continue to train his ability to form rocks with chakra. If he didn't have this ability up to par before he went in to take the Chuunin Exam then he shouldn't even have bothered at all. Concentrating once more Katsu began to perform the handseals for the Rock Creation jutsu once more, forming a larger amount of Doton chakra within his body. It was more than a little difficult for Katsu to form the extra chakra that he was going to need in order to make something of this technique, and it took him a few seconds to be able to form the chakra correctly. He didn't want to make any mistakes while forming the chakra, lest he have something horrible happen instead of what he was hoping for.

When Katsu felt that he had formed enough Doton chakra for the technique he formed the handseals once more and slammed his hands into the ground. He channeled the chakra that he had made into the earth, seeing how far he could spread it out before it lost the same density that it had when Katsu had performed the technique before. Katsu was shocked to find that the distance was incredible, way over the little head-sized rock that Katsu had created before. Confused at how the distance was so much more Katsu decided to shrink the area down to just five meters in diameter, mentally crushing the chakra in the earth and feeling the earth respond. Immediately Katsu could tell that he had been doing something wrong up to this point as he felt the earth turn to pebbles and not to any solid form.

Frowning Katsu let the technique go, standing so that he could think of what he had been doing wrong. The pebbles he was making were a little more than useless at this point, he needed to be able to make much larger rocks. After a few moments of thinking Katsu still couldn't understand what he was doing wrong and he just decided to try again. Performing the handseals and creating the chakra for the technique once more Katsu pushed the chakra into the earth again, this time trying to see just how much of a sense of the earth his chakra gave him. He was immediately surprised by the fact that he could every little thing within the earth. The size of each pebble, the grains of dirt, the little pieces of ice from the cold weather strewn throughout. Nodding to himself Katsu felt that he knew what he had been doing wrong.

Instead of just trying to crush the entire mass Katsu let his consciousness float through the chakra in the earth, seeing just how each pebble touched the pebbles around it. With but a thought Katsu felt himself take those pebbles and unweave their edges, making them formless for just a moment before pressing them together into one larger stone, and then he took the edges of that larger stone and unwove its edges, pulling the pebbles around it to it, forming a larger stone. It was just like when he was forming Doton chakra in the first place, and as he went along Katsu found himself getting faster and faster at the process. The first stone he created took a few seconds, but the second merely took half a second, the one after that even less time. However there was a problem with this way of forming the stones, Katsu realized. The stone that he was making would be weak along the areas that he had joined the pebbles together, meaning that it was likely that the stone would want to crumble back into those pebbles if he tried to used it for another jutsu.

Stopping himself short of completing his jutsu Katsu thought for a moment on what he was going to have to do in order to have his jutsu be more stable. Scratching his chin Katsu performed the technique once more, wanting to try a theory he had. He pushed his chakra into the earth once more, this time having his consciousness diffused around the entirety of the area he was aware of. Then suddenly he unwove the entirety of the mass that he had control of, and then crushed the unwoven stone together into one large mass! He smiled to himself as he realized that the rock joined together much more perfectly, there wasn't any weak spots within the stone like there had been before. Nodding to himself Katsu moved to a different area and kicked away snow to reveal the earth so that he could create more stone. This time Katsu concentrated on seeing just how much stone he could create at once, and when he finished the handseals and pushed his chakra deep into the earth he realized that the area was huge! He could feel an area fifty meters in diameter around him! That was more than enough for his purpose, and when Katsu stood up once more, the ground beneath him solid stone, he grinned again. He could move on to his next technique now.

Katsu was thinking over how he was going to be able to train his next Doton technique when his Owl friend suddenly flew into sight. Well. Sight was a bit of a stretch. With the gray downcast clouds in the area and the great amount of snow, the Owl appeared near invisible and it let out a loud hoot to announce its presence for Katsu. Turning his face upwards Katsu smiled wide, “Ah my friend! It is wonderful to see you again. It was so much fun playing with you before!” Hugging the Owl as it landed next to him Katsu was suddenly headbutted by the large owl, knocked back a bit but unharmed.

In his excitement Katsu had forgotten that the Owl didn't much like unrefined behavior. Thinking on it Katsu realized that he really didn't know too much about the Owl. They'd played in the woods a few times before, usually hunting or something but they'd never really got to know one another. Scratching his chin Katsu looked at the huge Owl. There was intelligence in those big Owl eyes, and Katsu had listened to the language of the Owls for a while now. Perhaps Katsu should try to speak using what he learned? With this idea fresh in his mind Katsu was reminded of the times he had accompanied the Owl on nightly hunts...

Katsu and his Owl friend flew through the night, Katsu riding a cloud and the Owl the wind. They hunted for food, their eyes searching the area below, looking for any sign of movement. It didn't take them long to realize that another was in the air with them. A normal sized Owl flew upon them, hooting angrily. Katsu's ally flew to meet him, hooting back. Katsu could do little more than just try to understand what was going on. His ears could pick up the small changes of tone as they gave voice to determine the general message of the speech, but they had no real meaning to him. He could hear that the other Owl was angry, almost in a rage, while Katsu's ally was much more calm, almost regal. It was obvious however that neither was going to back down. His ears perked Katsu strained to find meaning, and eventually he understood... “...territory... my... food... away...”

Blinking a bit Katsu realized that the Owl was saying that him and his friend were on his territory and that he wanted them gone. Personally Katsu had to admire the little guy to stand up against the impressive figure of his friend. Smiling a bit he listened in as his friend spoke back more calmly. “...calm... not... enemies. We must feed... is the perimeter... territory... gladly leave...” That was easier to understand for Katsu! Katsu was glad that his friend was willing to just let it lie and head onwards.

There was a reply by the smaller Owl, seemingly an angry retort, but it was cut short as the larger Owl suddenly lashed forward with a claw, grabbing the smaller Owl by the neck and holding it calmly. Katsu cried out for him to stop but he ignored him, and between his tone and his previous experience as well as the position of the smaller Owl Katsu thought he could understand the entire thing he said next. “I said calm yourself, little one. I'm not interested in hearing your angry drivel. It was said that we would gladly leave if you merely told us where the edge of your territory was but you responded with anger. Be glad I am not hungry to merely kill you and take your territory.” With that the larger Owl let the smaller one go, and they plummeted dozens of feet before righting themselves and flying away hurriedly. “Let us depart. We must yet hunt.”

As the memory faded Katsu was brought back to the present, and with very slow effort Katsu tried to speak in the language of the Owls. What he had meant to say was “Was it really necessary to punish that smaller Owl on our last hunting trip?” but it came out more like “Really need punish hatchling hunt ago?”

The Owl blinked slowly, perhaps having a bit of trouble understanding what Katsu had meant to say, but eventually he hooted out, “One must always show dominance to their lessers, else they become unworthy equals. Also. You speak like a Hatchling.”

Katsu coughed and shrugged, “I am a Hatchling. My name is Victory. What is yours?”

“I have told you many times. I am Falling Star.”

“Well I couldn't really understand what you were saying, but I'm glad to finally know your name. In the Language of Two-Legs your name is Seishin, and mine is Katsu.” Katsu was just ecstatic over finally being able to converse with his feathered friend, and he hopped up and down in place in excitement!

Doton - Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu / TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user hides within the ground for a brief moment to surprise attack the opponent from under ground.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user takes the time to push into the ground by using their Earth Release. The user pushes into the ground quickly so that to be used against the opponent later on. The user at this point cannot necessarily move within the ground at this moment, but the user does know by feel of when an opponent is right above. When an opponent is right under the user reaches up to take the opponent and drag them back down to the ground in one fell swoop without movement or notice. The opponent is unable to move for one post and the user is capable of slamming out of the ground with one movement.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release

“What is your purpose in these lands, Victory? This place is far from your usual territory.” The deep hooting voice of Seishin the Owl called to Katsu as he worked on his jutsu.

“I'm learning to manipulate the land through my inner energy, Falling Star.” Katsu replied as he tried to think of what next he should try to train.

For a long moment Seishin seemed to be amused by this, giving an Owlish laugh, “You wish to be like the Burrowing Owl? How strange of you Victory.”

Katsu grinned as he suddenly got an idea for what jutsu to train next. “That's a great idea Falling Star! I know what to try next!” Seishin looked at the youth in perplexion, then continued to laugh owlishly at the “hatchling's” antics.

To be able to enter the earth to surprise an opponent was a perfect idea for an Archer like Katsu. Yet how was he supposed to learn how to perform such a feat without any help? Shaking his head to clear his doubts Katsu decided to just wing it. Couldn't be too hard. It had to do with Doton chakra obviously, but Katsu couldn't really imagine how he would have to apply it in order for him to just enter the earth. There were really a number of ways to do it, but which one was really correct?

Shrugging to himself Katsu simply decided to try something then learn from the experience. Putting his hands together Katsu formed the Dragon Seal to help himself concentrate, and began to mold Doton chakra within his body. He continued to think of what he was going to do as he formed the chakra, and once he felt he had enough Katsu pushed the chakra into the earth below him. With his chakra in the ground Katsu began to pull up on the mass of earth below him, but gently so that he wouldn't actually move the earth. Katsu was much lighter, and he slowly began to sink into the ground inch by inch. Indeed once Katsu was sure that he was sinking he pulled a little harder, sinking faster and faster. Yet by the time the earth was up to his knees Katsu felt that something was wrong and stopped the jutsu.

Katsu couldn't move his legs at all! The earth had simply swallowed his legs, they didn't sink in the way that Katsu was hoping for. He needed to be able to move. Unfortunately Katsu would have to dig himself out, Seishin watching him quietly amused the whole time. Once he was free Katsu formed some more Doton chakra. If pulling himself down didn't work then maybe he could pull the earth apart to let him slip inside instead. He had to try at the very least, so Katsu built up the chakra he thought he'd need and then he channeled it into the ground once more, and once it was there Katsu pulled on the earth once more. Actually the action was closing to pushing; for he grabbed to halves of the dirt below him and pushed the to the sides, beginning to create a space between the two chunks of earth he was moving.

All was going well Katsu thought, but he was wrong. His pulling of the earth was indeed creating a space that he would be able to slip into, but it was being made all at once instead of gradually as he would have liked. The earth suddenly cracked open and a pit opened up beneath Katsu, and he suddenly found himself at the bottom staring at the sky above, having fallen on his back. “Well that did not work.”

Hopping out of the hole Katsu dusted himself off, trying to think of what he was going to do. Luckily insight came from his feathered friend. “Why not combine the actions you were attempting, Victory? The burrowing Owl does not try to dig their burrow all at once, but one claw-ful at a time.”

Thinking on that Katsu nodded at Seishin. That idea certainly seemed better than the two he had come up with. Putting his hands together to concentrate Katsu formed some more Doton chakra and pushed it out of his body into the dirt. Once again he pushed the dirt, but this time he both pushed the dirt away from him on the sides while trying to pull himself deeper into the earth. He began to sink into the dirt at a rapid pace, and was almost immediately up to his waist in earth. That was certainly what he wanted, and there wasn't even any weight being placed against his body as he sank down. Halting the jutsu Katsu nodded to himself. It was good to have a wise friend like Seishin, he thought. There was still the problem of being stuck halfway into the dirt, but Katsu was pretty sure he knew how to fix that. Concentrating on the chakra he still had channeled into the earth he simply reversed the flow of his chakra, being rewarded by the earth spitting him out in half a moment.

Katsu grinned as he performed the technique one last time, the world vanishing quickly as he suddenly sank out of sight, leaving not a single moved rock from his passage into the earth. It was a perfect way to ambush someone, just as he thought!

This type of attack may be used so then the user may move away from the very opponent and attack at the moment's notice.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, Must have knowledge of the Doton - Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)

Katsu sat beneath the surface of the earth, fresh from his little victory in learning the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, even if he didn't actually know it had a name. He was thinking of the fact that he couldn't really move in the position he was in. Sure it was great for ambushes and the like, but for actual mobility it was extremely limiting. Katsu reversed his chakra flow and popped out of the ground, dusting himself off. “Well I have learned that, but I have also learned that I have more to do to make it an effective tactic during combat.” Standing straight from his jutsu Katsu thought on what he was to do next. If he wanted to be able to move freely underground then he would probably have to rely almost solely on chakra. Which meant handseals. Which Katsu didn't know for pretty much any Doton technique. Yet someone had originally came up with the idea Katsu had, and they had eventually worked out the proper handseals. Maybe Katsu could.

Concentrating Katsu began to form Doton chakra within his body, leaving it barely formed and unfocused. Katsu had an idea to help him find the proper handseals for the ability to travel within the earth quickly. With the unfocused Doton chakra within his body Katsu began to run through the handseals slowly, seeing what effect they had on the Doton chakra within his body. How they forced the chakra to assume certain shapes and made it layer itself. Katsu was sure to let the chakra become unfocused once more before he went to the next handseal. Frowning to himself Katsu couldn't really figure out anything from forming just one handseal, and he eventually resorted to forming two of them at a time to see if perhaps the greater number of handseals would be enough for him to see what he needed to see.

Katsu was checking the patterns to see how similar they were to the pattern that he created whenever he used the Double Decapitation technique, since it focused on moving the earth around to let Katsu slip inside of it. It thus stood to reason that a more advanced version of that technique would use the same kind of chakra pattern, and it gave him a basis to try and find the handseals he would need. The process was incredibly slow, for Katsu had to work through the handseals two by two, with a considerable amount of time between those two handseals to let his chakra unfocus itself once more. Yet eventually Katsu felt that two certain seals were the ones that created the chakra pattern closest to his goal.

The process continued for at least another half hour, Katsu merely running through the handseals, slowly feeling his chakra change and layer itself in response to the handseals. There came a point when Katsu was satisfied that he had found the proper handseals however, and he sighed in frustration at how long it had taken him to find the proper handseals sequence. This was really only the beginning of his training for this technique he was trying to achieve. Still Katsu went through the handseals perhaps half a dozen times, making sure that they formed the chakra as he was expecting each time, and also committing the specific series of handseals that he had performed to muscle memory so that he would be able to perform them in the middle of combat if need be. When Katsu was satisfied that he could perform the handseals at a moment's notice he moved on, forming more and more Doton chakra within his body as he performed the handseals for the technique. Once the chakra was prepared by the handseals Katsu channeled his chakra into the earth just as he had before.

Once his chakra was there Katsu didn't know what to do anymore. He had kind of been hoping that the handseals would have directed it without his conscious guiding, but it was obvious that wasn't happening. So Katsu just fell back on the thing he had done before. He used his chakra to pull himself down while at the same time slowly pulling the earth below him apart layer by layer, his body sinking into the earth so quickly he was gone in a moment. Yet now he was in the same position that he was in before he had done all that work to find the handseals he needed. Katsu tried to pull himself to the front, but when he began to move forward he felt the earth above him distort from the pressure, creating a small mound. That was not what Katsu needed, he needed movement that left no trace on the surface above so that he could move stealthily.

Sighing Katsu tried pulling on the earth above him rather than pushing it away, as well as the earth below him. He was rewarded by starting to move forward, and he felt no distortions in the earth around him. Good. There was progress. Yet Katsu realized that he had moved incredibly slowly. He had a while to go yet. Katsu resigned himself to another hour or so of mastering this jutsu...

Drawback: A user is only capable of performing so many times within one round of six seconds. The more the user wishes to do the more they have to learn into the type of technique. Must have great strength in order to keep pushing, grabbing and picking up.
Description: The user uses the concept of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) to where they push their chakra down along the very ground. The user is capable of lifting a rock on size depending on the rank of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) that they may know. What the user does is the user uses a few handseals along the very ground as they suddenly slam their hands down onto the very ground. Doing so they stab their fingers forth into the ground and quickly push it up creating a massive stone as it is ripped out of the very ground. The chakra that is used within this very technique allows the user to be capable of picking up the rock in question.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release

Once Katsu had finally managed to get the hang of the ability to move underground he felt that he should learn something a bit more offensive that used stone as a medium. Of course the most obvious thing that came to Katsu's mind was throwing a big boulder around. Yet while Katsu was certainly strong for a twelve year old, he wouldn't have the strength to throw something much bigger than himself, let alone a boulder. Back to chakra and handseals!

Just as he had done with the technique before Katsu began to concentrate, beginning to form Doton chakra within his body, leaving it barely formed and unfocused. He was going to have to repeat the process he had done to find the handseals of the technique before. Stopping for a moment though Katsu realized that he didn't really have a basis to draw from as he had. He didn't know what pattern he would need to form his chakra into in order to have the effect of picking up a giant hunk of stone. Yet an idea occurred to Katsu. The Doton Soushi technique manipulated stone, taking earth and forming it into a single mass of rock. In other words, it moved a mass of earth in a fashion that was separate from Katsu's body. Perhaps there lied the basis he needed.

With the unfocused Doton chakra within his body Katsu began to run through the handseals slowly, seeing what effect they had on the Doton chakra within his body. He needed the chakra to assume a pattern similar yet slightly different than the pattern used for Doton Soushi. After all he wasn't trying to take a bunch of little pieces of rock and form them together, but to take a rock already formed and remove it as one big chunk from the earth and move it around. As before Katsu was sure to let the chakra become unfocused between forming his handseals so that he could compare the pattern to that which he knew. Going through the entire process from before had given Katsu a little insight however, and he was able to complete the second set much faster because he had memorized how each set of handseals had effected his chakra pattern and didn't have nearly as many choices to go through before he found the right one. It took Katsu about five minutes in order to find the handseals that he felt were the correct ones.

With the handseals ready Katsu decided to move directly onto the technique rather than memorizing the handseal sequence. He began to form more Doton chakra within his body and performed the handseals that he had just logicked out. Once the chakra was prepared by the handseals Katsu channeled his chakra into the earth, this time letting it spread out so that it could take hold of a large chunk of earth. Katsu tried to have his chakra simply grab onto the rock below him, and when he thought his chakra had done so Katsu stuck his hands into the dirt and tried to pull. Of course the rock didn't so much as move, being connected to the earth still.

Katsu had failed; the handseals that he had used had been the wrong ones it seemed. Which meant it was back to the drawing board there. Frowning to himself in concentration, Katsu tried to rack his brains on what handseals he was supposed to use. Finally Katsu simply decided to just start forming handseals, letting his subconscious guide him to the correct course. Katsu was a big one on faith, after all. However it was still incredibly astonishing when Katsu performed a series of handseals and then stuck his hands in the dirt, his chakra reaching out and grabbing hold of the stone below, and Katsu suddenly lifted, wrenching a huge chunk of rock easily forty meters wide from the earth and hefted it over his head like it was weightless.

Katsu stared for a long moment before he turned to the side and threw the huge chunk of rock, watching it crash into and level several trees, burying them under it's huge mass. Looking down at his hands he turned to Seishin, “That was amazing!” Seishin could only nod and look on at the destruction. It was horrifyingly potent. Katsu would have to work on his control of such a technique for sure.
