Prep Time

Post by Kai » Wed Mar 02, 2016 11:20 am

Kai was on his way to his favorite training spot, that peaceful beach by the lake where he was rarely bothered during his training. Which may or may not have had something to do with the fact that he usually practiced his Katon out here and no one liked to run towards fire. Today he was practicing a less destructive type of ninjutsu though and in fact this one was defensive in nature. He hoped its less flashy nature would help him avoid attention, but there would still be a few explosions to attract attention.

Not that he was doing anything nefarious, he just still wasnt comfortable talking to new people and probably never would again. He hadn't been the most friendly type ever since he had killed one of his best friends for trying to become a missing-nin and held his other friend as she died. But he had recently realized that was no reason to become a dead man himself.

So upon arrival at his training ground he just stood there on the beach, watching the serene lake scenery glad to be feeling alive on such a vibrant day. The sun gleaming off the lake and the peaceful bird calls would be a great boon to his focus today. It had a tremendous calming effect on Kai and helped him focus on the feel of his chakra. He was there trying to learn the last few techniques from the scroll his jounin sensei had given him before their relationship had soured. He felt like they would improve his base functionality from poor fire power to maybe something a little more stealth viable. All techniques were valuable in his eyes and these were the last that his former teacher had offered him.

He opened the scroll and read the last three entries. He might as well start with the most simple of the three. But in his haste he had forgotten to bring any sort of object that had to be released through a chakra kai such as an exploding tag, which would have made this much easier. Instead he had to rely on a different technique that he hoped he could preform in rapid enough succession.

Kai straightened his body and began forming a few hand seals and gathered Katon chakra in his hand before grabbing a shuriken from his leg holster. Instantly the gathered chakra lept into the shuriiken, transforming it into a makeshift long range bomb. He looked down and smiled at the simple technique in his hand. It was one of the first he had learned, and by far one of his favorites.

He reached back and stretched his shoulder out before flinging the shuriken out over lake, listening to the sound of it slicing through the air before detonating it with chakra kai. The sound of the explosion ringing out over the lake before causing a small echo to return. As much as he appreciated the silence, there was something to be said about the sound of an explosion. If you caused it it could be a huge boost to confidence and morale, if it was unexpected that terrible sound could rip your peace of mind apart just as quickly as whatever it was actually destroying.

"I really should have brought along some tags or something a little less annoying to practice with." kai said before letting out an overly exaggerated sigh and quickly creating two more Katon bombs. "Though i suppose its good practice for actual combat. Maybe i should start carrying some tags too." He thought as he launched the two new shuriken, trying to focus on both objects at the same time as he made the handseal he had seen in the scroll willing the two shuriken to explode.

But much to his chagrin, neither one would do anything more then hit the water with two loud splashes. "Well....good thing no one had been watching huh." he thought as he sat down to pick up the scroll and try and figure out where he had erred. It didnt take long for him to notice that his small finger placement for the seal had been slightly skewed. Kai set the scroll down to check his hand placement when two muffled woompfs accompanied by small geysers erupt from the lake.

He wasnt sure if that was him or just the natural timer set into the shuriken bombs, but it put a grin on Kai's face either way. It was a cool sound and caused the falling water to make an interesting cascading noise mixed into the muffled explosion sound. But also got the scroll slightly wet much to Kai's annoyance. He was especially meticulous about his scrolls, books, and other forms of knowledge.

He moved the scroll from the shore, into the shade of a tree further from the lake where he deemed it would be safe and double checked his hand seal. Feeling he had it down Kai was on the beach again in no time, making what he hoped would be the last shuriken bombs he would waste on this technique today. He threw the shuriken as hard as he could out over the lake and clapped his hands together as fast as he could. He wasn't certain what his range for a multiple chakra kai would be but he didnt want to fail this technique just cause the objects had flown too far. He had a suspicion that was the reason it had failed the first time but he couldn't be sure.

He could almost feel his chakra in the shuriken as he formed the handseal, focusing intensely on releasing the force kept in the shuriken. And it worked! The shuriken exploded in concert, doubling the sound and rush of hot wind kai felt on the shore from the explosion.

Kai was euphoric as he watched the explosions die down, listening for the familiar echo that would be coming back soon. He didn't need someone to train him diligently. As long as he could still progress on his own he was fine. Two more techniques and he could put thoughts of his old sensei behind him and forge a trail all his own.

But first he had two more techniques to learn.
